Strait of Hormuz

Iran has moved to seize the waterway in response to a US naval blockade, despite a two-week ceasefire between the sides.

US President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social Sunday that US forces seized an Iranian vessel in the Gulf of Oman after it attempted to breach a US naval blockade, describing the interception as a response to what he said was noncompliance by the ship’s crew.

President Trump said the US Navy Guided Missile Destroyer USS SPRUANCE intercepted the vessel, identified as the TOUSKA, after issuing a warning that was ignored.

“Today, an early 900 feet long and weighing almost as much as an aircraft carrier, tried to get past our Naval Blockade, and it did not go well for them,” President Trump wrote.

He said the ship was stopped after US forces disabled it. “The Iranian crew refused to listen, so our Navy ship stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engineroom,” he said.

According to the post, US Marines have taken custody of the vessel.

President Trump added that the TOUSKA is under US Treasury Sanctions due to what he described as a history of illegal activity and said US authorities are inspecting its contents. “We have full custody of the ship, and are seeing what’s on board!” he wrote.

The incident comes amid heightened tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, a central flashpoint in the conflict between the US and Iran with wider implications for the region and global oil prices.

Iran has moved to seize the waterway in response to a US naval blockade, despite a two-week ceasefire between the sides.

The maritime confrontation follows conflicting signals on diplomacy.

On Sunday night, President Trump said talks with Iran would take place in Islamabad, but Iranian officials rejected that claim, citing what they described as US “excessive demands” as an obstacle to negotiations.

IN the summer of 2019, I was seated in the wine cellar of a walled Medieval town high above the Dordogne Valley of France, not far from Sarlat-la-Canéda, making phone calls, writing reports. I have given this story in other places and it appears as though you’re about to hear it again. Rob Skiba is a name you that you might be familiar with. Though he had made a name for himself as a Nephilim researcher, more recently Rob had taken a dive into the deep end of the pool via flat earth research. The recorded interviews I conducted between he and Rick Hummer, a fellow flat earth investigator and close friend of his, was published while still occupying that very wine cellar. Read all about it. Chicago Is Not a Mirage.

Word quickly spread. Within a few short weeks, dozens of flat earth researchers began accepting my invite for a private interview, if not a series of interviews. From a 17th-century tower built by King Louis XIV, and with a stunning view of the Alps, I sat down with Robbie Davidson, founder of the Flat Earth International Conferences, conducting multiple sessions. While staying in Dumfries, Scotland, David Weiss agreed to take part in the interviews, as did Bob Knodel of Globebusters. There were others. But when I asked the interviewees to discuss the moments that shaped their lives, among the many PSYOPs, false flag attacks, and hoaxes that were discussed, only these men committed commentary to the false 9/11 narrative.

The resulting recordings ballooned into The Unexpected Cosmology, a book which became a website and was even intended as an anthology. And of course, the following discourse was originally a chapter. It was Walt Disney who stated, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” Those sentiments remain applicable here as well. American Sensationalism: The 9/11 Interviews was always intended to be expanded upon with the inclusion of new researchers. So I’m sorry to say the project became stagnant during the Covid-19 psychodrama. I took a break to tackle other projects. We lost Rob Skiba. Rob offered hours of private conversation regarding his life but we never got around to the big one. 9/11. It was in the cards. Sadly, Bob Knodel died soon afterwards. Voices are being squeezed from an entire generation. Gnosis passes with them.

In the aftermath, the FE community became fractured. People began going their separate ways. Robbie Davidson, among a noted few others who were interviewed for the project, got up and left the movement altogether. It is not my intent to erase his or the contributions of others if only brief. They came, they went, their testimonies remain.

The original vision may have hit roadblocks but it is not forgotten. I expanded this paper a few years later to include testimony from author Pauly Hart, a dear friend of mine. I had wanted to continue that trend every year thereafter but you know how it goes. For the 25th anniversary of the attack I have redirected my efforts to its first large scale expansion, including Andrew Hoy and Darrin Geisinger into the mix. Perhaps others will lend their experiences to the recorder in time.

The following is their report.
