The Stena Impero was traveling through Iranian side of the Strait when it struck an Iranian fishing vessel. The fishing vessel requested assistance from the Impero which ignored them, turned off their tracking system and tried to exit the scene. So yes, the Iranians detained the tanker for violating any number of maritime laws not the least of which being they left another vessel crippled and in danger of sinking in the water. Ergo... no... this is not a 'tit for tat" retaliation for the illegal seizure of that Iranian tanker last week by the British.

Iran's Seizing the Stena Impero Was NOT Retaliation

Woke Slavery, Disillusioned Vets and the Roots of Epstein's Blackmail Operation
In this video I discuss three articles covering why the fake left really values illegal immigration, veterans coming to understand the pointlessness of the Global War OF Terror and the historical roots of the Jeffrey Epstein political blackmail operation.
Today is Friday. Have a great weekend.
What Was It All for For: Vets Have Finally Turned on America’s Endless Wars
by Maj. Danny Sjursen, USA (ret) from AntiWar
It is undoubtedly my favorite part of every wedding. That awkward, but strangely forthright moment when the preacher asks the crowd for any objections to the couple’s marriage. No one ever objects, of course, but it’s still a raw, if tense, moment. I just love it.
I suppose we had that ubiquitous ritual in mind back in 2007 when Keith – a close buddy and fellow officer – and I crafted our own plan of objection. The setting was Baghdad, Iraq, at the start of the “surge” and the climax of the bloody civil war the U.S. invasion had unleashed. Just twenty three years old and only eighteen months out of the academy, my clique of officers had already decided the war was a mess, shouldn’t have been fought, and couldn’t be won.
Me and Keith, though, were undoubtedly the most radical. We both just hated how our squadron’s colonel would hijack the memorial ceremonies held for dead troopers – including three of my own – and use the occasion of his inescapable speech to encourage we mourners to use the latest death as a reason to “rededicate ourselves to the mission and the people of Iraq.” The whole thing was as repulsive as it was repetitive...

Hidden in Plain Sight: The Shocking Origins of the Jeffrey Epstein Case
Epstein is only the latest incarnation of a much older, more extensive and sophisticated operation that offers a frightening window into how deeply tied the U.S. government is to the modern-day equivalents of organized crime.
by Whitney Webb, MintPress News
Despite his “sweetheart” deal and having seemingly evaded justice, billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was arrested earlier this month on federal charges for sex trafficking minors. Epstein’s arrest has again brought increased media attention to many of his famous friends, the current president among them.
Many questions have since been asked about how much Epstein’s famous friends knew of his activities and exactly what Epstein was up to. The latter arguably received the most attention after it was reported that Alex Acosta — who arranged Epstein’s “sweetheart” deal in 2008 and who recently resigned as Donald Trump’s Labor Secretary following Epstein’s arrest — claimed that the mysterious billionaire had worked for “intelligence.”
Other investigations have made it increasingly clear that Epstein was running a blackmail operation, as he had bugged the venues — whether at his New York mansion or Caribbean island getaway — with microphones and cameras to record the salacious interactions that transpired between his guests and the underage girls that Epstein exploited. Epstein appeared to have stored much of that blackmail in a safe on his private island...

Slavery without the Muss
by E.M. Cadwaladr American Thinker
A couple of years ago, I took a business trip to Coronado, California — a wealthy suburb of San Diego isolated on the far side of the bay. I'd never been to California. Coronado was not covered in heroin needles and human feces as parts of San Francisco and Los Angeles famously are. It was a well groomed, pretty patch of real estate by anybody's standards. Cool ocean breezes and gently swaying palm trees. Beautiful houses. Nice restaurants. Interesting shops. Still, I found an ugliness about it — a moral malady less obvious than street violence or an army of homeless beggars.
What I noticed, because I am from the Midwest, where such conditions don't pertain, was that practically all the people who drove taxis, stocked shelves, waited tables, maintained gardens, cleaned hotels, or had anything else to do with non-recreational physical activity...were brown-skinned Latinos. The people who owned the houses, ran the shops, or did anything that fell generally into the realm of "knowledge work" were overwhelmingly white or Asian.
Do not get me wrong. I am not about to whine the leftist whine. I do not for a minute believe that all persons of all kinds are equal in either potential or inclination. I have said as much. The facts of the world and of history are plain enough to anyone with a genuinely open mind. We are not all equal in our capacities. But there is something deeply disturbing about visiting a place where labor is so plainly segregated along racial lines. And it is all the worse when the people who own and run the place are so self-servingly dishonest about it. Waving at your gardener now and then doesn't magically give you egalitarian street cred. The contact between one human and another ought never to be made that cheap.
What we have in California is a sea of anonymous Latino workers who, by their very numbers, drive the going price of their labor down to a minimum. The more who are encouraged to cross the border, the more of a mere subhuman commodity they become. Most, I think, must live in fear of losing whatever menial jobs they have and falling back on the thin resources of the government or friends. They must be quietly desperate to please their masters. Well, let us say — their "fully woke employers." It is quite a system. No ugly whips or chains are necessary — just a large pool of people willing to accept any conditions better than the wretched ones they came from. Apparently, railing against the evils of capitalism on your patio with your well off progressive friends does not preclude the possibility of taking full advantage of Adam Smith's invisible hand of market forces. The invisibility part is the key ingredient here. It keeps the conscience calm and comfortable — cool in that pleasant ocean breeze that sweeps away that recurrent unpleasant odor of hypocrisy...

The administration of President Donald Trump plans to divert more than $40 million initially earmarked for humanitarian aid in Central America to fund the Venezuelan opposition.
