Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

42nd ship tied to Iran was turned around by the US Navy today.

That’s going to start hurting very soon.

BREAKING:
Internal rift deepens in Iran as two camps clash over strategy with the U.S.

• The divide: pragmatists vs hardliners
• Pragmatists, led by Parliament Speaker Qalibaf, believe Trump will not back down and push for a deal
• Hardliners, led by IRGC Commander Ahmad Vahidi, believe Iran must hold firm until Trump breaks

• Hardline options under consideration if pressure continues:

* Laying additional mines in the Strait of Hormuz
* Targeting undersea communication cables
* Striking Gulf oil infrastructure

• Despite this, Tehran is holding back for now amid fears of a strong U.S. response

🇵🇰Pakistan just opened 6 land corridors to Iran.

6 overland routes from Karachi and Gwadar straight to the Iranian border  Gabd, Taftan, multiple variants.

3rd country goods can now transit Pakistan to Iran by truck under customs oversight.

3,000+ containers were sitting stranded in Karachi, unable to sail because of Hormuz.
They now have a road.

Pakistan presents this as trade policy.

The effect is strategic: it punches a hole in the economic logic of the US naval blockade.

The blockade controls the sea not the Karakoram Highway.

Oil and bulk energy flows are still choked trucks can't replace tankers at that scale.
But machinery, consumer goods, industrial inputs, and 3rd-country cargo can now reach Iran overland.

These corridors can carry Chinese or other foreign goods into Iran under Pakistani transit rules.

Every country that trades with Iran and doesn't want to pick a side is watching.

The naval blockade is still the dominant pressure. But it just got flanked.

Dear Keir Starmer,

When the regime in Iran's embassy in London invites its followers to fight and "sacrifice their lives",

And then one day later two Jews are stabbed,

What do you think this means?

I'll give you a moment to think.
