All roads lead to London
Trump names the fraud and drops Obama, Iran's last oil bridge burns, and one City keeps turning up.
Edition 17, 20 July 2026
Fourteen conversations this week in which the people who run things from the shadows got called out. Trump stood up on Thursday night and said American elections had been rigged by foreign actors working with the media and the Democratic Party. He named former President, Barak Obama as being involved with the electoral fraud. We also covered the Iran war and its diminishing oil terminals, discussed how King Charles had betrayed his Coronation Oath, looked at Canadian banks that move drug money, and how the CIA corrupted music, movies and architecture.
The speech, and the name he dropped
Trump gave a speech on Thursday 16th July night alleging that the 2020 Election was rigged. Steven Kuhn, who posts on X as x.com/JoinTab_USA, and Ace, who runs the American Fire YouTube channel, said that this is now the official position of the US government, and not just Trump's point of view. Trump alleged that the elections were rigged by foreign actors working with the media and the Democratic Party, backed by the CIA, the FBI, DHS and the NSA. Newly declassified documents attested to this. Trump named Barack Obama as having signed off on the fraud. Ace commented that Trump stopped himself from naming others co-conspirators.
Ace thought that this restraint was deliberate.
This speech was not for us.

Ace said that the speech was directed at the persuadable middle, not those who already knew of the fraud. Releasing the files to the public turns ordinary citizens into investigators. Steve was less impressed, because there were no arrests and no fresh proof, just the release. What struck them both was the silence from the MSM. CNN, NBC and ABC did not carry the speech at all.
Former MP Andrew Bridgen told Ret'd Brigadier General Blaine Holt that election fraud was in other countries too. His own 2024 election in North West Leicestershire was rigged, as was the Brexit vote, which turned out to be too big to rig in favour of Remain. Holt said that was that it does not matter which foreign capital you reach for, Beijing, Tel Aviv, Tehran or Kiev.
All roads lead to one place, and that is London.

Speaking to Susan Kokinda of Promethean Action and Tom Luongo of the Gold Goats and Guns blog took it further, Rich put the obvious objection to them: that this was just Trump doing "China, China, China" the way the Democrats did 'Russia, Russia, Russia". Both disagreed. Kokinda's said that Trump did not say that he wanted to overturn 2020. Instead he called the electoral system vulnerable and pointed to more than a quarter of a million non-citizens and over four hundred thousand dead people registered to vote across just four states. Luongo's answer to why Trump blamed China, Russia, Venezuela, Iran and North Korea, but never Britain or France, was that the audience is not ready to hear the real names yet.
Iran: the golden bridge refused
Turning to Iran, Luongo and Kokinda both agreed that Trump's position had hardened. Luongo's stated that an earlier memorandum of understanding had offered Iran everything, as well as a golden bridge to retreat across. All Iran had to do was accept the new reality. They refused. So now, in his phrase, it is bridge and tunnel day. Kharg Island, Qeshm Island and Bandar Abbas are being cut off, and with them the last way to export enough oil to keep funding the IRGC. Trump blockaded Iranian oil from leaving the Persian Gulf, Luongo said, then stopped anything else coming in as well.
The quagmire everyone predicts is not coming, he argued, because Iran as a civilisation will not sit on the sidelines.
That's not 20 years from now, folks. That's 20 weeks from now at best.
Tom Luongo
Kokinda reminded us that the fight is with the IRGC, not with the eighty million Iranians, and the aim is to lift one of the last pieces off the British imperial chessboard without smashing it. Cliff High said the same thing more bluntly: that Trump is not really attacking Iran because the regime is a front for the City of London.
How London still runs the show
If Iran is the empire abroad, three conversations this week were about how it works at home. Graham Moore, who heads the English Constitution Party and is a common law lawyer, argued that King Charles committed a specific offence when he declared himself defender of all faiths this month. Under the coronation oath, that is perjury.
The direct answer is the king has perjured his oath. As far as I can see, he could never redeem what he's done.

EM Burlingame asserted that the legal argument is theatre. The only real currency is violence, and the Crown has been a hostage since Parliament pays for his security who likely answer to foreign agencies.
Michael Adamson, a Canadian artist said that that Canada's banks have always done what London could not be seen doing itself by profiting from Prohibition liquor, opium and fentanyl. Canadian banks such as RBC, CIBC and TD were all involved in moving these illicit funds. It is no surprise that Canada's prime minister was the Governor of Bank of Canada and of the Bank of England.
Colonel Watkins told the story of how the CIA built the Congress for Cultural Freedom to capture and corrupt the arts: funding musicians and screenwriters to hollow out the anti-war movement, and as an assault on culture.

Empire never ended. It learned to run the world through paper and proxies. A rigged count, an isolated oil terminal, a broken coronation oath, a bank that moves the drug money and an NGO that shapes the songs are all sourced from the City of London. Cliff High stated that what Trump is doing finishing the American Revolutionary War against the monarchists and the globalists.

All the best.
