Counter-Narrative Intel Brief #008: Iran Setting Terms on Hormuz Now; Meta Getting Hammered in Court; Money Printer Going “Brrrrr”

Learn what’s going on behind the news! When you understand that the Western world is run by a small, interconnected group of malevolent Judeomasonic mafia operatives to the benefit of global Zionism and a “new world order” agenda, events in business, politics, and world events take on a whole new meaning. I tell you why they are happening, what the mainstream is leaving out, and what comes next, in this daily report.

NOTE: These intel reports are for paid members, but will be FREE for all of August as a preview to all my subscribers.

• Iran attacks ships, and US response is absent; Gulf allies have no idea what’s going on

• Meta Poised to take Another Legal Pounding in California Over Harm to Children

• Treasury Yields Have Risen to their Highest Level since 2007…Repeat of the Great Recession, Anyone?

• Destroying Books is a Threat To Civilization (Unless AI Companies Are Doing It)

• American Nuclear Mini and Micro Reactors Are on the Rise

• Walters’ Sports Empire Under Attack as Zionist Vultures Circle

• L3 Harris (potential short term buying opportunity!): The stock of the US’s sixth-largest defense contractor fell 5% on Monday, which is thought to be because of the sudden firing of its high-performing CEO due to sex abuse allegations. (Interestingly, he lost his previous post for similar allegations a decade earlier - but L3 Harris hired him anyway. This shows that they are not opposed to hiring people with shady past - they just don’t like when it makes their company look bad. (My guess: they will find someone just as shady and recover, creating a great opportunity to buy the dip of a major contractor aligned with the New World order agenda, and which stands to benefit from Trump’s proposed massive surge of money into increased defense spending.)

• American nuclear mini-reactor companies driven by AI/data center demand: such as Oklo, NuScale Power, BWX Technlogies, Centrus Energy, GE Vernova, Canoco, and Helion Energy.

There are a few different storylines running today, but the theme jumps out at me is that the narratives we’ve been brainwashed with for decades are now suddenly changing radically - and this is having a re-ordering effect on the whole world.

Start with the Strait of Hormuz. We’re approaching six months of war, and there have now reportedly been 70 attacks on commercial vessels and 24 civilian sailors killed; August alone accounts for roughly 20% of all shipping attacks during the entire conflict. But amid all this, the United States still seems stuck somewhere between escalating the war and pretending it can negotiate its way out of it, while every nation with ships actually traversing the strait is letting Iran set the terms.

That’s not hyperbole; an astonishing 253 of 255 ships crossing the Strait this month chose the Iranian-administered route instead of the U.S.-backed alternative hugging Oman’s coastline. That’s not some think-tank opinion poll—that’s real people with ships, cargo and millions of dollars on the line voting with their rudders to side with Iran over the U.S. It’s truly astonishing.

Back home, things aren’t exactly looking more stable. The 30-year Treasury yield has broken 5.3% for the first time since 2007, while stocks remain near record highs and everyone continues partying like borrowing costs don’t eventually matter. The last time this happened? The year before the Global Financial Crisis.

At the same time, Meta is facing thousands of lawsuits over what its own internal documents reportedly described as “exploiting weaknesses in human psychology,” particularly among children. And now, they’re paying for it.

Then there are two AI stories that almost perfectly capture our strange moment in history. AI companies are reportedly buying, digitizing and sometimes destroying physical books to feed their models—while at the same time, the Wall Street Journal warns us about Russian “bibliocide” in Ukraine! Apparently destroying books is a threat to civilization - unless there’s a sufficiently exciting business model attached to it that will “create shareholder value.”

And finally, AI’s almost comical appetite for electricity is helping resurrect something America spent decades pushing aside: nuclear power. Small modular reactors producing roughly 70–330 megawatts, and even tiny 1–20 MW microreactors, are suddenly interesting again, because somebody has to keep all those data centers running.

Funny how quickly yesterday’s completely unacceptable technologies or practices become today’s “strategic necessities” (as long as they are linked to the priorities of the U.S. deep state cabal, of course!)

Despite there being no meaningful progress toward either escalating the war with Iran or bringing it to an end, the attacks on commercial shipping are accelerating. August alone accounts for roughly 20% of all attacks on shipping during the entire war, which is now approaching the six-month mark. The UAE says Iran has struck seven of its vessels this month alone.

Trump’s response has been to ratchet up economic pressure on Tehran - but there has been no corresponding U.S. military response. That leaves America’s Gulf allies in an increasingly uncomfortable position: Iran is targeting them largely because of their alignment with Washington, yet Washington appears unwilling to respond militarily on their behalf. At some point, they’re going to start asking whether that alliance is worth the price (and I would imagine they have already been quietly doing that for months, at least.)

So far, there have reportedly been 70 attacks on commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, killing 24 civilian sailors. But here’s the detail that really jumped out at me: commercial shipping is overwhelmingly rejecting the U.S.-backed route along the Omani coast and instead using the northern route administered by Iran.

In August alone, an astonishing 253 out of 255 ship crossings chose the Iranian-administered route rather than the U.S.-backed alternative—even with the continuing danger of attack!

That’s a remarkable vote of confidence from people who actually have ships, cargo, crews, and millions of dollars on the line - and that vote is not on the U.S., but on Iran!

Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, has been under fire over the last year, with cases mounting against it nationwide for allegedly causing mass-scale harm to children through the intentionally addictive attributes of its apps. In particular, teen girls were known to be suffering increasingly severe psychological harm as a result of many features of Meta’s apps, which internal executives knew about but permitted - and even encouraged - because those same features were good for engagement.

Overall, there are thousands of similar cases being brought against Meta simultaneously, including lawsuits from more than 40 state attorneys general, school districts, and individual social media users, largely based on the same legal premises. Yes, you read that right: thousands.

Meta know this was happening, too. One of its internal documents actually said verbatim that its products “exploit weaknesses in the human psychology.” It was also well known internally that these weaknesses were particularly pronounced in child users, turning them into social media addicts.

Several other cases have already taken place. Some were settled, some were dropped; but Meta lost two notable cases that set important precedents. One involved an unnamed minor user in Los Angeles who won $6 million. But the major case just took place in New Mexico, where a judge ordered Meta to create a staggering $567 billion abatement fund and also place hard limits on the amount of time young people could spend on its apps, particularly during school hours.

The new case is anticipated to be much bigger; if Meta loses, it could conceivably threaten the company itself. (Look for Wall Street to place big shorts on Meta depending how the case goes.)

What the mainstream is saying: A global sell-off in bonds is driving up borrowing costs for governments, businesses, and families across the developed world, as investors appear to be be worried about continued inflation risks. Other contributing factors include the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict (which now has no end in sight) along with a deluge of high-yield tech-company bonds as AI hyperscalers continue feeding their seemingly bottomless need for cash to build out data-center infrastructure. \

Yields on government bonds rise as their prices fall, and they have reached multi-year highs in just the last few days, with the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond topping 5.3% for the first time since 2007. The 10-year Treasury, which is considered the premier benchmark for overall borrowing costs throughout the economy, has also approached a new high.

What they’re not telling you: Dumping of bonds is not a good sign, but the real reason is probably a large-scale shift of wealth out of bonds and into the still-surging stock market, as return-hungry investors accept that inflation is high - but the stock market is higher.

What’s been happening is that - though it defies belief - currently, stock prices remain near record highs and corporate earnings appear very strong, so none of the economic consequences of higher borrowing costs seem to have hit the stock market...yet.

Generally, it is widely understood that higher borrowing costs mean the same companies currently raking in cash will eventually have to pay higher rates on future loans they take. In addition, the companies themselves are giving high yields on their own bonds to fund even more AI; this is appealing to investors, but that high interest will have to be paid sooner or later.

In addition, higher borrowing costs for businesses will leave consumers with less disposable income to buy the products those businesses make, which is also bound to have a slowing effect on the economy.

The U.S. federal government is likely the biggest loser here. Already buried under more than $40 trillion in national debt, its borrowing costs will only climb as yields rise—and that debt is still surging upward because Washington continues running massive deficits, especially under the Trump administration, and relatively small increases in Treasury yields can translate into enormous additional interest costs as federal debt rolls over at higher rates.

Right now, there is such a frenzy in the stock market that nobody seems to know when that slowdown will arrive - or care. Everyone is simply riding the wave for as long as it lasts - but if you were around in 2007, you’ve heard that before.

(Not helping the situation is Kevin Warsh, Trump’s new pick for Federal Reserve chairman, who has so far taken a largely “hands-off” approach to managing the economy, projecting little leadership or direction and even moving to scale back much of the Fed’s current involvement in monetary policy. But as I’ve written about previously, he is directly connected by marriage to the international Zionist mafia - his father-in-law is billionaire Robert Lauder, the head of the World Jewish Congress! So something is fishy here…and we’ll find out what before long.)

What the mainstream is saying: An editorial in The Wall Street Journal today discusses the concept of “bibliocide”—attacks on the written word—describing it as a common tactic of totalitarian regimes and terrorist organizations, and pointing the finger at Russia over its war in Ukraine. Comparing Russia to regimes such as the Nazis, the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, and ISIS, the article attempts to bolster support for Ukraine and invoke fear of a Russian regime using terror to erase or rewrite history.

What prompted the editorial: a series of Russian drone and missile attacks on Ukraine’s publishing industry, particularly one major strike against the logistics and distribution center of a large publisher that caused a fire that reportedly burned 8 million books.

What they’re not telling you: It is ironic—and darkly humorous to me—that a major mainstream outlet like The Wall Street Journal is publishing this kind of war propaganda, using the idea of “protecting books” to rally support for Ukraine, while there is a quiet and sinister attack on physical books happening right here in our own country - which supposedly prides itself on being “democratic!”

If you aren’t up to speed on this: while it’s been receiving relatively little mainstream attention, independent journalists and concerned booksellers have publicized the large-scale efforts of AI companies to acquire rare and physical books from across the country to feed into their AI models, scanning them for digitization and destroying the physical copies afterward. Evidently, that’s acceptable “because capitalism” - but hitting a book distribution center during an active war is evidence of “totalitarian bibliocide!”

It’s a convenient example of how narrative and spin work in the United States—and how simple lying by omission can be one of the establishment’s most effective tools.

What the mainstream is saying: AI is fueling renewed interest in nuclear power in the U.S., particularly in building SMRs, or small modular reactors. Long hamstrung by green-energy initiatives that have been pushed heavily over the last couple of decades, nuclear power is seeing a major resurgence as AI creates a massive new demand for electricity in the commercial sector. That, in turn, is driving new interest in developing smaller, commercially available nuclear reactors that could be used to power data centers.

Typical nuclear reactors in the U.S. are massive public utility facilities; the country currently has 94 operating reactors, which provide about 20% of the nation’s electricity. Small modular reactors would instead be factory-built in sections, transported, and assembled on-site, reducing both construction times and costs. While data centers are fueling much of the current interest in developing them, SMRs could also be incorporated into the traditional electrical grid.

Interestingly, there are also microreactors, which could be deployed wherever power is needed and used by the military, communities recovering from natural disasters, or, of course, data centers. Microreactors typically generate only about 1–20 megawatts, compared with roughly 70–330 megawatts for SMRs.

What the mainstream is saying: I’ve noticed that much more in the mainstream media is being reported about federal probes into the business empire of Mark Walters, who recently sold the Lakers sports franchise for $12.5 billion after reportedly having business troubles due to the investigations.

What they’re not telling you: The pressure on Walters is convenient; the pressure is coming from Trump’s DOJ and is a blatant example of selective enforcement (because Wall Street is guilty of way worse than what Walters’ company was allegedly doing.) The result? The Lakers were suddenly sold to a team led by two Zionist Jews, one of whom is directly related to Trump himself (Joshua Kushner, the younger brother of Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who himself has an extremely shady past, like his father did before him.)

Walters also owns the Dodgers, and it is evident that wealthy Jewish zionists are on a campaign to take over American sports just like they have long controlled the press and entertainment media, so they the Dodgers will likely go next. My prediction is that this is partially motivated by wanting to control the narratives in all “goyslop” entertainment, but also probably to benefit from sports betting in the U.S. which is dramatically on the rise.
