Random Musings on Current Events (Europe and Middle East) 3.20.2026

Once again it is time for some Random Musings On Current Events from the mind of a quiet, unassuming (at least in my own opinion) person observing the ramblings, rumblings, rants, raves and revelations in the media from behind the front lines of a purple state. I present these ramblings, rumblings, rants, revelations and gratitude’s in a sort of stream of conscious journal format and, yes, there may be some sarcasm thrown in.

I was sitting down quietly this week thinking about the ongoing conflict in the Middle East between Iran and the US and Israel and had a couple of thoughts. First, why is it that the Straits of Hormuz and any energy that flows through this strait impact the cost of fuel in the United States? After all, the United States can sustain itself and even more so with the supposed new oil coming in from Venezuela. Then I started to think about the international price of oil (Brent Crude) being the benchmark from which all prices flow, evidently. So, I had to ask myself, why is it that the price of oil in the North Sea off the coast of Scotland and England, ironically, the benchmark? Furthermore, why is there an international setting of the price of oil in the first place and that it is based out of London?

In case you are wondering, I continued to sit and think and it dawned on me that the country’s most in peril with the lack of energy resource coming out of the Persian Gulf are Europe and Asia who need the energy way more than we do in the United States and the Western Hemisphere. The next logical step in my logic chain was to ask why is it that Europe is always using the Straits of Hormuz as a bully stick to get the United States to provide security for Europe’s oil supply? I have left out Asia in this equation because, let’s face it, Europe is the instigator in most of these situations and of the Europeans there is no doubt in my mind that London is behind much of it. Again, I have to ask why is the United States still beholden to a power that we supposedly fought for our independence from in the 1770’s, again in 1812, and that supported the Confederacy in the war of Southern Rebellion?

So again I ask, “Why has the United States born the burden keeping Middle Eastern oil lines open over the past several decades?” I am aware of the theory to not use US oil reserves but rather use those from other countries first but is it worth it? I am also aware how British Petroleum became what it is on the backs of Iran and Iran’s oil for a century. I am also aware how the Saudi’s have used their petrol dollars to create the virulent form of Islam known as Wahabism. Perhaps the question I should ask is what or who has been behind all of the machinations in the Middle East the most over the last century or more? The answer is, not the United States but rather Londan and Paris.

Getting back to the Middle East and current events there at the moment. I do not think the radical Islamic regime of Iran should have nuclear weapons and if this truly was imminent as has been presented, I can understand the need to stop this. However, Israelis to include Benjamin Netanyahu, have been saying Iran can make nuclear weapons for years if not decades in an effort to drag the United States into doing their bidding, Much as Europe is always dragging the United States into their wars to finish them and that the founding fathers of the US warned us about. Who knows, perhaps Tel Aviv and London are one in the same? What is ironic is that MI-6 drug the CIA into overthrowing a popularly elected Iranian leader to replace him with the Shah. Then, the Shah was deposed by the Ayatollahs who were educated in Paris. Is this evidence that either French  and or English intelligence have been pulling strings in Iran for decades? It certainly seems plausible. So, Tel Aviv with deep London connections and Tehran with deep Paris connections go to war and the Strait of Hormuz get shut down. These are the same countries that have spawned the WEF and their stated goal of population reduction and that champion the use of environmental causes as one of the means to their ends. I have to wonder who really is going to benefit the most from this?

Speaking of games that ruling elites are playing it seems that the TSA employees have missed their second paychecks thanks to the Democratic Party’s refusal to fund the TSA. All this because of ICE which is already funded. I have to shake my head and say, “What?!?”. I really do not know what the Democrats expect to gain besides talking points pandering to their leftist base, ironically supported by the WEF, their minions, and various cut outs, because they are losing points in many other places. I for one am not a fan of the DHS’ forming on the heels of 9/11 and the subsequent passing of the Homeland Security Act. It was an act that essentially was already written to impose on constitutional freedoms and was just waiting for the right crisis to get passed. That being said, it is a reality now and it is going to start impacting our economy and already is with extended waiting times at airports etc. Somehow, I do not believe the Democrats really care. I can only hope that Congress can pass the law that repeals that members of Congress can bypass airport security screening lines.

I am starting to see another pattern emerging from the WEF and European elites and these are crisis of one form or another that typically start in the spring or the fall. The first ones that come to mind are COVID, the 1929 stock exchange crisis, the 1987 Black Monday stock crisis, 9/11, and like clockwork every spring another health scare of some sort. Heck, even the Spanish Flu outbreak started in March of 1918. It all just seems to be one large iteration of the same script and the vast majority of us are merely members of the audience. All one has to do is read the UK news outlets and this year it is meningitis.

Why is the Church of the Holy Sepulcher closed during Christianity’s most sacred season? I have read that the Dome of the Rock and David’s Tomb are open in Jerusalem’s Old City. Although this may change now that an Iranian missile actually struck the Old City yesterday. How come the most sacred place in all of Christianity is closed during its most holy time of the year but the Old City at large is still open? I would hope that there is not some sort of anti-Christian bias operating in Israel as American Christian men and women are fighting against Israel’s enemy in Iran. For now I will withhold judgement but it makes me wonder of the same forces are at work that shut an entire economy down during COVID to include churches but allowed big box stores to remain open? Could it be London or other intelligence organizations fomenting religious strife to achieve their ends as they have done for centuries? So many unanswered questions.

God bless America and all her citizens and residents, no matter whether they are enemies, not enemies or somewhere between. Additionally, forgive me for my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me.
