Choke points: They're not only at the Strait of Hormuz

 

Choke points: They're not only at the Strait of Hormuz

     My fabulous political discussion group met once again recently, at our usual local cafe.  I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich, listened intently and took copious notes on the back of a napkin.  And of course I forgot the freaking napkin -- which is now hiding out in a dumpster somewhere in South Berkeley.  But I'll try to reconstruct the conversation anyway.

     "The Strait of Hormuz is a choke-point for oil," I said, "but the Chinese were trying to skirt around America's choke-point blockade by running a railway corridor from Iran through Turkmenistan to Beijing -- but Americans bombed the hell out of China's bridges and rails in Iran.  All that Chinese investment?  Gone up in smoke.  Bet that the Chinese are really pissed off.  Bet that Americans did it on purpose -- just to piss the Chinese off."  Sigh.  Now we got the Chinese pissed off at us too.

      "And the Zionists are trying to make Haifa into an oil choke-point instead of Hormuz," said the guy who'd just ordered a mushroom omelet.  Three oil choke-points?  Now I'm confused.  

     "It looks like this global war may be evolving into a war over the control of oil choke points," he continued.  "Houthis control the Strait of Bab al-Mandeb.  Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz.  Russia attempting to control the Mozambique Channel after a coup in Madagascar.  And the US is signing an agreement with Indonesia to control the Strait of Singapore."  

      I ordered another mug of hot chocolate and tried to sort this shite out.  

      "If there are all these oil choke-points designed to destroy human beings on a large scale," I said, "then let's also discuss possible choke-points for each individual human being.  Every human on the planet also has his or her own personal choke-point.  Food.  Water.  Air.  The need to feel good about oneself.  What can we as individuals do to protect our own personal choke-points?  Move to the jungle and live on coconuts -- bringing along Chat GTP to stroke our egos as well?"  

     "But what will happen when AI steals all of our jobs," the guy ordering fried eggs and hash-browns theorized next.  "Will there be a white-color revolution?"  

     Good question.  

    "You need to go home and watch Blade Runner," said the mushroom-omelet guy.  "I've watched it twice.  And have read the book.  The good guys hunt down the Replicants, manufactured humans that you can't tell from the real thing.  And then there's also Andor, about how to revolt against AI.  'This is what a revolution looks like.'  Way beyond Chat GTP." 

     The guy who ordered a tuna-melt then changed the subject.  "The elite of the US felt lost when the USSR folded because they didn't have an enemy, which devastated their need for escalating weapons profiteering at various different times during the Cold War."  That certainly explains the Epstein Class's lust for past, present and future 9-11s -- and for the seven-trillion-dollar bonus that they've received from weapons sales since September 2001.

      What else did we talk about?  Did we solve all the world's problems that day?  Was a definitive formula for World Peace written on that freaking napkin?  And did I just carelessly toss away the actual roadmap for mankind's only way to survive?

 

PS:  The word "ceasefire" has become practically meaningless these days, almost as meaningless as my plan to give up hot chocolate.  It's been 437 days since the first Gaza ceasefire and 199 days since the current ceasefire took place.  Zionists have ignored both ceasefires and just continued on with their bloody killing spree.

 

      It's been 502 days since the original Lebanon ceasefire in 2024 -- which Zionists have broken countless times. And it's been just a few days since the current Lebanon ceasefire.  Let's see how long that one will last. 

 

     Now there's a new ceasefire between Iran and the Zionists.  Don't hold your breath about that one either.  And Russia and NATO have been talking about ceasefires for 1,331 days now -- but mostly it's just hot air.

 

      Pretty soon Webster's Dictionary will have to revise its definition of the word ceasefire.  "In its current vernacular usage, the word ceasefire has become just another diplomatic joke."
