Monday BriefThe Monday Brief – EXPOSED: Trump Names the Hidden War — Britain Has No Cards Left – April 13, 2026 Trump exposes the British-run Strait of Hormuz extortion racket, rolls up Iran’s financial pipeline from Dubai to London, and forces Britain’s military chief to confess the Empire has no war plan. Watch on YoutubeSusan Kokinda argues that President Trump has “put the empire on notice” by exposing what she calls a decades-long British-run extortion system centered on the Strait of Hormuz. She says Trump moved to break the alleged protection racket by undermining Lloyd’s of London’s role in maritime insurance, pushing the U.S. to provide coverage, and enforcing an “all or none” approach to Iran’s oil sales. Kokinda highlights UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer declining to join an American blockade and claims Britain has lost control of the choke point. She details financial actions targeting Iranian money flows, including UAE arrests of IRGC-linked money changers, Treasury Secretary Bessent using Patriot Act Section 311 against a Zurich bank, and scrutiny of London-based crypto exchanges and Santander UK. She cites a UK military chief admitting Britain’s war planning has lapsed since the Cold War and links fuel disruptions and protests to the conflict, concluding Trump has forced a hidden imperial system into the open.00:00 The Monday Brief – EXPOSED: Trump Names the Hidden War — Britain Has No Cards Left – April 13, 202602:12 Lloyd’s of London Blinks: How Trump Seized the Empire’s Chokepoint05:05 Bessent’s Nuclear Option: From Dubai to Zurich to the City of London07:10 Britain’s Top General Confesses: “We Have No War Plan” Support our Political Briefings!Keep our work fierce, fearless, and 100% independent by becoming a paid Promethean Action newsletter subscriber for just $10 a month.
