Strait of Hormuz: War With Iran Will Ensure Trump 2020 Win

0

Limpet mines, torpedoes in the Strait of Hormuz, sounds like a Bourne or Bond film plot, but the evidence suggests Iran through the use of proxies and Iranian Republican Guard is sending a message that if they cannot export their oil through U.S. sanctions, then no one else should.

The Strait of Hormuz is where a third of the world’s oil and gas is transported, and blocking the strait off will create economic turmoil worldwide overnight. The price of crude has risen sharply at the news of the recent attacks.

The prophesy of 2011 may come true, as Iran is the prize that America has been dreaming of for many years, along with Israel and Saudi Arabia who are itching for a reason to attack the Iranian regime.

Along with the hawks of Washington headed by the head of National Security, John R Bolton, circumstances can change at the drop of a hat.

When the U.S. administration say they do not want a conflict with Iran, there is little truth in this as they have been planning a series of strikes for years.

The bombing of oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz is a gift for the U.S. and Iran can deny it all they want but who else would commit these obvious actions?

An incumbent war president is hard to rumble in any election, and Trump knows this full well. Voters will be united against a common enemy — Iran, and it is very rare for administrations to change during an ongoing conflict.

Iran is the key, a land never defeated in modern times, the initial strikes will most certainly take out all communications and electronics, before targeted air strikes destroy as many crucial military targets. The country has already been weakened by sanctions even with China, and Russia enforced by America. There will have to be soldiers on the ground to completely conquer Iran, and this could take a while to achieve.

The only negative in taking Iran out is the imminent threat looming of China and Russia joining in the fight. Analysts would probably err on the side of caution from these two countries joining a conflict that could escalate into global war. Iran is a red line in global hegemony for the United States, and once this line is crossed, control in the Middle East will be ceded by China and Russia leaving them on the back foot.

Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth will be whispered to Trump, and if he wants to unite America, this is one gift he cannot overlook, but if he does, he may certainly lose in the 2020 elections. The purging of his supporters on the internet has left only one voice on the field — the Democrat echo chamber.

Iran is an energy superpower and the Petroleum industry in Iran plays an important part in it. In 2004 Iran produced 5.1 percent of the world’s total crude oil (3.9 million barrels (620,000 m3) per day), which generated revenues of US$25 billion to US$30 billion and was the country’s primary source of foreign currency.

Proroguing an Anti-Democratic Parliament Intent on Thwarting Brexit is Perfectly Democratic

0

To see the snivelling snarling loser hobgoblin Rory Stewart today threatening Boris Johnson is a sign that extremist remainers who are being bankrolled by Brussels are starting to get rumbled.

The underhand parliamentary tricks employed by remainers are unravelling, however to bypass a predominantly anti-democratic parliament may be the only way to leave the EU with a managed Clean Brexit.

The highly irregular activities of House Speaker, John Bercow, who is blatantly seeking to revoke Article 50, as well as the Tory rebels who side with Labour’s remain activism are a direct threat to democracy because people like Dominic Grieve and their ilk are against the democratically decided will of the people to leave the EU.

The first round of the Conservative leadership contest has seen the exit of the women who thought they could become the next PM. After the disaster of Theresa May’s premiership it is no surprise that a woman for the job was not on the menu. The next PM will have to actually have a big set of swinging balls to exercise a Brexit, especially with the treacherous remainers hanging from the rafters waiting to sabotage democracy at every point.

Is Proroguing a Parliament Intent on Stopping the Democratically Voted Result to Brexit Democratic?

The root of parliament’s problem are the left-wing remainer contingent who surprisingly inhabit the Conservative party, people like Letwin, Clarke, Grieve and Stewart should be thrown out of the party and their constituencies. These shameful excuses for MPs are pathetic whining merchants of treachery who in the past would have been tried for treason.

The crux of the whole imbroglio is that despite parliament voting for Article 50 and promising to value the vote to leave in the EU Referendum there are elements that have gone back on their word and are trying to stop Brexit from happening.

In this climate, proroguing parliament is a perfectly acceptable solution to achieving democracy, because there is such an anti-democratic group of saboteurs in parliament today.

The Mastery of Helmut Newton Enshrined in One Book

The effervescent chrome female nudes of Helmut Newton bring not only a sense of danger but beauty to his work encapsulated perfectly by art publisher TASCHEN in the 20th anniversary limited edition SUMO book. Helmut Newton (1920-2004) was and is still in death an icon of the art of photography.

Newton’s usage of light and composition has been copied countless times, his subjects painted in delicate yet harsh light, immortalised by a lens that clinically dissects their posed structures revealing an ancient yet modern symbolism. Many of the statuesque female nudes exude elemental moments of chrome black and white, metallic goddesses, Newton illuminating the eyes of the viewer with a futuristic nuance aligned with a simplistic minimalist idea of pure creation surrounded by the fertile womb of naked women at the forefront of the lens.

Newton first achieved international fame in the 1970s while working principally for French Vogue, and became celebrated for his controversial scenarios, bold lighting, and striking compositions in street or interior settings, rather than studios.

Born to a Jewish family in Berlin in 1920, Newton received his first camera at the tender age of 12, often neglecting his studies in school to pursue his love of photography.

Whilst working as an apprentice for theatre photographer Yva in Berlin in his teens, Newton felt the stirrings of his dedication to the female nude, a subject which has captured the eyes of artists from time immemorial. His subjects invoke a theme of sadomasochism, beauty, sleaze, and passionate violence tempered with the overt sexuality and empowering strength of his female models.

The glamorous life of Helmut Newton is however coloured in tragedy having fled Nazi oppression in Germany in 1938, shortly after Kristallnacht, he worked in Singapore and Australia during World War II, serving in the Australian army for several years as a driver.

He later opened up a photography studio and moved to Europe in the 1950s. In Paris he began working for French Vogue, and later Playboy, Elle, and other publications during the 1950s and 1960s as his reputation grew, travelling frequently throughout the world on assignments.

His many titles and awards include Commandeur de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. His photos for various fashion magazines were some of the first to overtly present female nudity in a triumphant and empowering manner. However, underlying his bold images is a decadence and cruelty woven into complex stories of sex and power. It is this quality to his art that endures and has left its mark on the history of fashion photography.

Helmut Newton’s portraits have been widely exhibited in shows such as White Women, Sleepless Nights and Big Nudes and compiled into many books. TASCHEN’s most expensive publication ever created is the special edition Helmut Newton SUMO, a title that truly transcends the coffee table fashion photography book. Other anthologies include Pages From The Glossies, World Without Men, and Polaroids.

Newton’s photo Le Smoking, perhaps his most well known image, attests to the subversive elegance he conjured: a woman dressed androgynously in Yves Saint Laurent poses with a cigarette in a darkened, cobbled, Parisian street. Simple and powerful, black and white, Helmut Newton’s photography is classic glamour.

In 2004, he died in a car crash in Los Angeles at 84 years old leaving the Chateau Marmont hotel, a place that tells many stories. His ashes are buried three plots down from the grave of Marlene Dietrich at the Städtischer Friedhof III in Berlin.

Among other honours, Newton received the German Kodak Award for Photographic Books, a Life Legend Award from Life magazine, and an award from the American Institute for Graphic Arts for his photographs.

The Helmut Newton SUMO was a titanic book that towered above anything previously attempted. Twenty years later, TASCHEN celebrates the legacy of this publishing venture in an XL edition, the result of a project conceived by Helmut Newton and revised by his wife June. Gathering 464 images and a new booklet that takes us through the making-of the SUMO, it’s a spectacular tribute to the larger-than-life photographer.

Will Boris Johnson Be a Good Prime Minister?

0

Watching the massive movement build against Boris in the media and during his press conference today, there seems to be much caution in letting him become the next PM.

To repair the damage done by Theresa May and other remainers will be no easy task whoever takes the mantle. The Labour opposition along with Conservative party rebels are plotting once again to curb any aspirations of a ‘Clean Brexit‘ by tabling a few motions in parliament, aided of course by John Bercow the biased remainer Speaker. Luckily they did not succeed in tabling their motion.

The bets are out and the good money will be on Boris passing the last furlong, amongst croutons floating in the minestrone of remainer treachery. Going out on a limb, maybe investing one’s attention on a genting bet promotion, one could easily capitalise on the odds of whichever outcome materialises.

Johnson certainly proved himself as London Mayor, and his tenure brought London’s prestige up without any needless drama. This is in stark contrast to the Labour Mayor, Sadiq Khan who has been ineffective and has exasperated the knife crime epidemic with his apathy.

During his speech today, Boris alluded to his position that he was not in support of a ‘no deal’ Brexit, which is the antithesis of ERG members and true Brexiteers. It is hard to see what else can be done to leave the EU as Brussels have firmly said they do not expect to negotiate with any new leader of the Conservatives.

With a parliament that wants to thwart the will of the people, Brexit is wholly undeliverable unless there is a prorogue and the Commons shut down allowing the October 31 deadline to run through.

There was a little vulnerability to Boris during his speech, at points mumbling, and stumbling over his words, although once off the pre-written sheet this is where he shone, bringing forth a more free flowing speech to the assembled audience.

It is a shame that parliament wants to thwart the will of the people who voted in the largest democratic vote in British history to leave the EU, because at the end of the day, these same parliamentarians promised to uphold the will of the people during the EU referendum whatever the outcome. The same parliamentarians also okayed the triggering of Article 50, but are now trying to have Article 50 revoked with their anti-democratic push.

As for drugs, Boris was asked the dastardly question but disappointedly did not dodge it with humour but a rambling speech about Tory values and other nonsense. He may have to answer the question at some time in the next few days.

Can Boris be trusted? With the current state of mistrust of MPs after the Brexit mess, it may take some time to win back the trust of voters again. If he delivers Brexit, properly, then we will have more trust in politicians again, but don’t bet on it.

China’s Totalitarian Tiptoe in Hong Kong Eroding Democracy

0

The sad demise of the human rights of Hong Kong citizens continues as China moves forward with its totalitarian brutalist communist regime.

Western socialists who idolise the communist regime always put it forward as a model for the West, these same socialists always tout their support for human rights, but strangely never mention the horrendous Chinese regime and its treatment of its own citizens.

Where the hypocrisy ends, it begins in earnest with the disgraceful treatment of the Tibetans and Uighur people, as well as regular citizens who are subjected to inhumane treatment by the Chinese communist state.

As Hong Kong’s residents riot today against a ruling that will extradite people to mainland China, there is only silence from the West, who kowtow to every whim of the economically lucrative country of China. When mass cheap manufacturing is involved, better to keep their mouths shut as the low quality Chinese plastic trinkets made by communist slave labour floods the Western market.

China police1

The hypocrisy continues as the West turns a blind eye to the amount of pollutants the Chinese industries pump out into the atmosphere daily, not only poisoning their own people but everyone else on the planet.

The inherently evil communist Chinese state is a serious danger to the world, an over populated, polluting behemoth with a deranged communist hierarchy who threaten world peace every day with their ever-increasing military might.

Our thoughts now must lie with the poor people of Hong Kong, abandoned by the West, and now being picked apart piece by piece at the hands of the predatory monster of China. All aspirations of a two party system are now under threat as the diktats of China creep in with communistic fervour.

Democracy will soon be a distant memory in Hong Kong as it is eroded by China violating the 50-year agreement safeguarding Hong Kong’s future.

 

Cricket World Cup: When’s the Final

0

The 12th Cricket World Cup seems to be heating up nicely.

The latest match played saw Australia’s David Warner take his first International century since his ball tampering ban which took him out for a whole year. The Aussies beat Pakistan in an entertaining 41-run victory despite Pakistan having an easily reachable goal of 136-2 they were slapped down for 4-24.

Australia are the current champions and most successful team in the tournament’s 44 year history, with five wins.

Warner reached the dizzying heights of 107 whilst Captain Aaron Finch settled for 82 -overall 307. Mitchell Starc’s review saw Pakistan bowled out for 266.

Australia and New Zealand are now at the top of the table with six points each although the Kiwis still have one game in hand. As for Pakistan, who are eighth out of ten, they will play their arch enemy India on Sunday at Old Trafford.

The current odds for the Cricket World Cup: England – 2/1, India – 5/2, Australia – 7/2, New Zealand – 10/1, West Indies – 12/1. The lads at your-promotional-code.co.uk will not only give you some free bets but some great odds. There’s certainly a bit more edge to any game when you have a few quid riding on the outome.

 

England, on the other hand, have never won the Cricket World Cup, finishing as runner-up in 1979, 1987 and 1992. This year could be very different though with Jos Butler in play. The outgoing England head coach Trevor Bayliss, will be leaving in September, but will go on to support the team for the Ashes, which begins on Thursday 1 August.

The final will be played at Lords on Sunday, July 14 and will be a culmination of 45 group stage matches and two semi-finals played over seven weeks. Lord’s cricket ground also hosted the final of the inaugural World Cup in 1975, as well as the finals in 1979, 1983, 1999. The tournament consists of 10 countries competing for that all elusive cup. After a single round in which each nation will play each other once, two semi-finals will take place at Old Trafford and Edgbaston determining the finalists.

Elderlies Could Be Simply Switched Off Says BBC

“It’s like switching off a TV. Once the old people get to a certain age we flick a switch and they turn off. This way we get to keep our immense salaries,” BBC executive, Tim Rice, revealed today.

The new policy will involve fitting old people at a certain age with an off switch, when flicked, the elderlies simply expire.

“Old people in Britain are treated like shit anyway, so they won’t even notice or care when they are switched off. It’s a huge burden on society as well as the BBC. How can we possibly afford to pay people like Gary Linekar £3.6 million pounds per year to talk bollocks in a studio a few hours a week? He has to attend to his golf sessions and luxury holidays in Barbados every few weeks,” Rice added.

Because the BBC is funded by taxpayers, the death switches will be funded by another increase in the TV licence, and will rise every year as BBC salaries rise.

Government spokesman, Shaun O’Hanrahan, applauded the new BBC initiative to install off switches in elderly people.

“Not only will they not have to pay a TV licence any more, but the NHS will save billions per year looking after the elderlies. It’s a win win situation for the BBC and the government. We take everything out of these people during their lifetime, then when they’re all used up, simply flick a switch, and they’re gone.”

How Will the BBC ‘Switch Off’ Scheme Work?

All costs to the recipient will be factored in through the TV licence tax. Once a citizen reaches the age of 75, they will be switched off.

The switch will be embedded on the left side of the skull near the ear. The procedure for implantation is very simple, and only takes 5 minutes to install by an approved BBC licence engineer.

Once the switch is flicked, a signal is sent simultaneously to the heart and brain of the elderly person switching all functions off. Once the old person has been switched off, a BBC van takes away the body and a final demand for payment is left in the property. If the elderly has no relatives to pay the final demand notice, bailiffs are sent around immediately to recoup the amount owed for the switch off service.

Naturally all people employed by the BBC and government will be exempt from the ‘switch off’ service, otherwise they would not be able to enjoy their gold-plated pension pots and luxury perks in old age.

BBC TV Licence: Jails Braced For Thousands 75-Year-Olds

0

The BBC deciding to take away free TV licences for over 75s has brought up another problem, this time for Britain’s prisons.

“I fought on the beaches of Normandy for my country, and was guaranteed a free TV licence as soon as I passed the age of 75, but now they say I have to pay £155. I would rather go to prison,” Alfie Haynes, 94, said defiantly from his simple retirement flat.

There are hundreds of thousands of equally defiant over 75s who are vying not to pay the extortionate price of a TV licence, because at their age it is something they were owed in the first place.

The BBC insists that if you do not have a TV licence the over 75s will be fined £1000 each and if they do not pay, they will go to jail.

Prison officer, John Kottrel, at Belmarsh Prison, one of the most notorious prisons in England, revealed how they are preparing for the OAP influx.

“The prison service is preparing itself all over the country for hundreds of thousands of over 75s. We have ordered millions of colostomy bags, hearing aids, wheelchairs, and mushy food for the old blighters.”

The good thing about prison is that prisoners don’t have to pay a TV licence and can watch endless hours of repetitive BBC programming: Doctors, repeat. Bargain Hunt, repeat. Garden Rescue, repeat. Pointless, repeat. Flog It, repeat.

Much of the BBC licence fee goes on the salaries of its employees, some are paid as much as £10 million per annum.

“What do I think of these old bastards who don’t pay into my salary, so I can own properties all over the world, have my own private jet, and as many drugs, booze, prostitutes I want? I think they’re a bunch of disgusting old farts, and should think about others once in a while. They broke the law by not paying the licence fee, send them to jail to rot before they drop off. How dare they think they can get away with their crimes. Mumbling old fools! I have to work very hard for six hours a week in the filming studio for my salary, what have they ever done?” one highly paid BBC star belched from his yacht moored off Cannes.

For many old age pensioners, the TV is their only lifeline, and to take that away from them is a certain death sentence. It seems Britain truly does not care for their elders, and once citizens hit a certain age they are punished and shit upon despite what they may have put into the system throughout their lives.

The EU Deserves NOT a Single Penny From the UK

0

The EU have treated the UK with utter despicable contempt and disregard, not only during 40 years of imprisonment but during the so-called Brexit negotiations. Britain is viewed by the EU as a cash cow where billions of pounds are siphoned off every year, and we get little or nothing in return.

Boris Johnson is correct in saying the UK should not pay the EU’s Brexit ransom money, for all it is is blood money, and we are sick of being blackmailed by the EU cartel of corrupt butchers, miscreants inebriated by their lust for cash to stuff in their back pockets.

This matter should be taken very seriously, and Britain should be on a war footing. If it is a war the EU wants, it will get one. In theory, military action is a perfectly viable alternative to some kangaroo court in the Hague hosted by EU judges.

Britain has gone to war for lesser amounts, and it should be a point of national pride, along with dignity that we do not pay £39 billion for nothing.

Michel Barnier actually demanded the UK pay £100 billion at one point, somehow alighting on the figure, then he settled on the bogus figure of £39 billion. This is proof that these criminals are making it up as they go along without any justification or account. The only reason the EU wants Britain to pay the ridiculous sum of £39 billion is to show other EU states that they will be punished like the UK if they dare to leave the EU in the future.

Britain has a highly efficient and well-trained military force, and we would be joined by our allies the United States in any war.

When the decision would come through, the military budget would be trebled overnight.

Last week we celebrated the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings, and now Britain and the West is being threatened once again from a force across the Channel, which is also building its own EU Army to oppose NATO.

The EU tyrrany and its aspirations to create an EU Army headed by Germany is akin to the threat Britain and the United States fought 75 years ago. The EU have instead worked backwards this time, instead of building a military force first and conquering nations like their predecessor, they conquered nations economically first, and then created an EU Army to keep hold of nations, as well as to plan future incursions to the East i.e. Russia. The EU knows that Russia cannot be conquered easily economically or politically, they know that the only way to do it is through military conquest.

The EU like any empire has to keep expanding or die, and this is why it is crucial that they conquer more lands to the East.

It is to this end that the tyrannous EU poses an existential threat not only to Britain, but to the rest of the world. The EU’s long-term goals are the exact same as those of Napoleon and Hitler, and they will try to achieve what the others failed in doing.

How to Look like a Royal: Kate Middleton Fashion Ideas

0

Kate Middleton – the Duchess of Cambridge, the wife of Prince William, the mother of three, and one of the most popular style icons in the world. She always looks stunning wherever she goes. Classic, chic, and elegant.

Kate’s fantastic looks have been recreated by millions of people already. Though, not everyone knows yet how to achieve that effortless look for cheap.

If you believe that a fortune is required to replicate Kate’s daytime or evening outfits, you mistaken. You don’t have to be a billionaire, a royalty, or someone who hits the jackpot in Irish online casinos to be able to dress like the Duchess of Cambridge. You can easily get her looks for less. How?

Kate Middleton’s Style Explained

It is hard to find a woman who doesn’t admire Kate Middleton’s style. Even her maternity style was perfectly created and presented every time she appeared in public. Kate always looks beautiful and relaxed, even when she is wearing a fancy evening gown and a pair of extremely uncomfortable high heels. What’s the secret?

How does she manage to combine so simple items and always look so different, smart, and chic? What clothes can make you feel like the Duchess of Cambridge too?

  • Bold colours. You can easily follow the trend of bold, vibrant colours in Kate Middleton’s wardrobe for years. Wearing a dress or a suit in one colour without any patterns and prints is a favourite trick for a lot of her outfits. The Duchess of Cambridge is not afraid of wearing dresses in bright, bold colours – yellow, green, blue, red, etc. She wears so many bright colours that it is pretty hard to remember what colour she wore yesterday or the day before. So, don’t be afraid to incorporate bright items into your wardrobe to replicate Kate’s outfits.
  • Dresses with a belt. Kate loves simple, but form-fitting clothes. She often wears dresses with tiny belts to accentuate the waist and make the whole look more stylish and put together. Get a few belts of different colours or pick the ones that are already the part of the design of a dress.
  • Floral prints. Another trend Kate often goes for is a floral print, especially in dresses. No matter whether it is a daytime or an evening look, for many occasions, the Duchess picks the floral print specifically. She is a big fan of floral print in white, yellow, and pink, which she usually wears in the summer season particularly. One of the best examples of Kate wearing a floral print outfit is her first appearance after Princess Charlotte’s birth in 2015.
  • Every shade of blue. Kate Middleton is definitely a huge fan of blue colour. It is impossible to find a shade of blue, which she has not incorporated in her outfits yet. She wears monochromatic blue outfits a lot. For example, a dark blue long-sleeve or a blue lace dress, a light blue button-down coat, a blue tweed suit with a pair of matching blue heels, etc.
  • Affordable style. How much do Kate’s clothes cost? The Duchess always mixes more expensive and less expensive brands in her outfits. You can easily find the affordable high street as well as designer clothes in her wardrobe. Thus, you can fit Kate’s wardrobe to any budget you need. She often wears dresses, knickers, blazers, and shoes by GAP, Topshop, H&M, and Zara. So, search in high street fashion brands first.

Remember, a royal wardrobe is not about money. It is about looking smart, classic, and chic. Create Kate’s outfit by yourself too. It’s so easy!
