While if true (as it appears to be) this is indeed a major
concern, however the more immediate, and therefore more dangerous
situation, is the administration's attempt to generate a "Son of
Tonkin" or "Tonkin II" situation and panic congress into passing
a resolution to justify a pre-emptive war with Iran.

The admission by the US Navy that Iranian speedboats might not
have been the source of an apparent threat to attack American
ships in the Gulf is a significant move that raises new fears
about the chances of unintended clashes in the region.

The video released by the US implied that the warning was part of
a series of transmissions to the ships from the Iranian craft.

It turns out that the warning was added onto the video. It was a
radio recording made separately.

It remains to be determined if this was a CIA or a MOSSAD
operation.

Oil hits 100$/bbl, gold hits 900$/oz, governmental debt at all
levels and the trade deficit continues to rapidly mount, and
California [as the first domino] is on the verge of bankruptcy.

The preferred establishment solution? --- start a(nother) war.
