Tankers Flee Strait of Hormuz
Following U.S. strikes on Iran, tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has dropped sharply.
Two VLCCs—Coswisdom Lake and South Loyalty—made U-turns near the strait, reflecting rising tensions. Tanker entries and exits fell by 32% and 27%, respectively.
Iran’s parliament approved a resolution allowing potential closure of the strait, a key oil route handling 20% of global supply. Though not enforced yet, the threat has rattled markets—Brent crude surged over 9%.
Ship movements show zig-zagging, detours, and delays. Some resumed transit, but GPS jamming and electronic interference persist.
Despite the strait remaining open, risk to global energy and shipping remains high.

THE SIGNAL IS FASTER THAN LIGHT. IT DOES NOT DIMINISH WITH DISTANCE. IT IS NOT ELECTROMAGNETIC.
In 1966, Cleve Backster was the world's foremost expert on polygraph technology. He had developed the interrogation techniques used by the CIA, FBI, and U.S. military. He understood galvanic skin response — the electrical conductance of biological tissue — better than anyone alive.
One morning, on a whim, he attached polygraph electrodes to a Dracaena plant in his office. He watered it and watched the tracing. Then he thought: "I wonder what would happen if I threatened this plant." He decided to burn a leaf with a match.
The instant he formed the intention — before he moved, before he lit the match, before any ...
