## Resource

The American Empire is stepping on rakes all over the Middle East, but this time it could cause an economic collapse, if not a global famine. The City of London plays a role in the severity of this war, and might even be calling the shots. The British know a thing or two about ruling the High Seas. The maritime choke point known as the Strait of Hormuz has been the topic of conversation around the world, as Iran squeezes the flow of oil to a slow drip. The only real surprise is that the Trump Administration pretended not to think this was a possibility. As we all sit on the brink of World War 3 breaking out globally, a decision made by an insurance company in London might be the final straw that sways history in a deadly direction. — Video Channels Watch the video version of Macroaggressions: Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MacroaggressionsPodcast Brighteon: https://www.brighteon.com/channels/macroaggressions/ — MACRO & Charlie Robinson Links Hypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwms The Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMm Website: www.Macroaggressions.io Merch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/  Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcast — Activist Post Family Sign up for the Activist Post Newsletter: https://activistpost.kit.com/emails Activist Post: www.ActivistPost.com Natural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com   — Support Our Sponsors Ground Luxe Grounding Mats: https://GroundLuxe.com/MACRO Replace Your Mortgage: www.WipeOutYourMortgageNow.com C60 Power: https://go.ShopC60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACRO Chemical Free Body: https://ChemicalFreeBody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACRO Wise Wolf Gold & Silver: https://Macroaggressions.Gold/ | (800) 426-1…
