Iran just built the first crypto tollbooth in history on the planet's most important oil chokepoint, and today it handed China the cheap lane.

From March to June, the Revolutionary Guard / IRGC sold tankers safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz for up to $2 million a ship, paid in Chinese yuan, Bitcoin, or the stablecoin USDT.

The ceasefire switched the booth off for 60 days. In August 2026 it switches back on, and Iran / IRGC has already told Beijing it will pay LESS than everyone else.

Understand what this defeats.

For eighty odd years, American super power over any transaction on earth ran through one bottleneck, the dollar-clearing banks Washington controls.

Iran built a booth that barely touches them.

Yuan settles through Chinese rails outside SWIFT.

Stablecoins clear on a blockchain in seconds. American trackers and sanctions do freeze some of these wallets, so this is a race, not a rout. But the Guard rotates addresses and runs the money through crypto mixers, and most of it clears before anyone can catch it. So it’s a race!!

The tiers are the real signal.

Cheapest for China, blocked entirely for anything tied to America or Israel.

The toll is not a war tax. It is a “loyalty program” for a post-dollar world, where your standing with Tehran and Beijing sets the price of your oil.

And the template will not stay in Hormuz.

Iran just proved a sanctioned state can price a chokepoint in money the dollar system cannot fully reach.

The exact same move works in the Malacca Strait. It works, if Beijing ever chose it, on the sea lanes around Taiwan.

Iran did not just build a tollbooth. It wrote the manual for the next one. Interesting times!

Feds dress up as white supremacists to try discredit the 4th of July / 250th Birthday celebrations - yet again. Did the SPLC pay for the “uniforms” & travel costs?

Grade A Orwellian bullshit. Trump’s tariff obsession, his train wreck approach to the USMCA, and his imbecilic war on EVs has been a huge gift to China and pure poison for US auto making. Make no mistake: yes-man Rogers has been with him every stupid step of the way.

@MalloryMcMorrow Your comms team needs to step it up. This primary is way too important.

China added over 543 Gigawatts to their grid last year. 434 GW was renewables because they are faster to build. The U.S. added a paltry 53 GW. We are losing the “AI race” to China because these idiots hate green energy. This is suicide by stupid.

🚨 Man arrested outside High Point church with flamethrowers, body armor, 500+ rounds of ammo, and a notebook full of church and school addresses.

William Milliken III, 44, of Thomasville, was taken into custody Sunday morning in the parking lot of Wesley Memorial Church during Sunday services.

Officers found him wearing body armor and in possession of two flamethrowers, a CO₂-powered handgun-style launcher, crossbows, more than 500 rounds of ammunition, knives, duct tape, oxycodone, and police scanners.

A notebook recovered from his truck contained addresses of churches, schools, and public buildings. He faces charges including possession of a weapon of mass destruction and impersonation of a law enforcement officer.

No one was injured. The investigation is ongoing.

What should happen when someone shows up to a church with this level of weaponry and a list of locations? Drop your thoughts below.

Sources: High Point Police Department.

@TheArenaCNN @kasie @AbdulElSayed Darializa has said insane stuff. Interviewer should read them out every time. Calling the US a “f*ing disgrace”, saying Israel doesn’t exist, calls to abolish police, prisons & borders, & seize property from landlords. Calling Biden a rapist & insulting Kamala & the US military.

@MeidasTouch I hope something gets done. One frustration I have with Dems is that too often they waste time on these commissions to confirm what is incredibly obvious. Stop wasting time and get the show on the road.

[jjlynch2016 @jjlynch2016]

@daveweigel @AbdulElSayed Obviously very smart & an athlete (wiki bio worth a look). Many degrees (impressivel, top schools) which I believed were covered mostly via scholarships vs. student loans. It dont see DSA policies being good for scholarships but he got his. If you know anything, pls share.

[jjlynch2016 @jjlynch2016]

@hasanthehun Curious if you have student loans or maybe paid them back? Have you lived in government housing?

@RepJasonCrow Dems need to replace their communication team. They did nothing to get bidens achievements out there.

@NYCCouncil @NYCKidsRISE What about all the kids in 1st through 12th? They get nothing. A similar issue with free buses. If you rely on the subway and never take the bus, you get no benefit.

Democratic strategist Laura Watkins wrote an Op-Ed discussing her concerns re: Graham Platner's views & behavior towards women. Andy O'Brien, a Platner supporter & communications director of Maine's AFL-CIO responded: "First up against the wall when the revolution comes."

A NYT analysis found that despite Trump’s promises that private donors would cover all his self – aggrandizing projects in DC, in reality these projects will cost of billions for taxpayers. At a time when most Americans are struggling with affordability.
