President Trump: 'Permanently Opening the Strait' ‐ China Cuts Iran, Whistleblower Goes Criminal
2026-04-17
[Promethean Action] Last night, President Trump posted:
"China is very happy that I am permanently opening the Strait of Hormuz. I am doing it for them, also - And the World. This situation will never happen again. They have agreed not to send weapons to Iran."

That’s the President announcing the end of the Hormuz crisis on his terms — with China agreeing not to arm Iran and a meeting with Xi coming in weeks.

Meanwhile, he’s brokering the first call between Israeli and Lebanese leaders in 34 years.

And last night, DNI Gabbard referred the impeachment whistleblower to the DOJ for criminal investigation — the declassified documents from Sunday just became a criminal case.

The board is being cleared. Barbara and Susan will break it all down today.

Today we’ll cover:
Trump’s Hormuz endgame — The blockade worked. China cut off Iran’s arms pipeline. The Strait is being permanently reopened. Barbara will explain how this dismantles the Petrodollar energy racket and why Starmer’s Britain has been left with nothing.

The impeachment hoax goes criminal — Gabbard’s 400-page document dump just became a DOJ referral. The CIA whistleblower had no direct knowledge. The IG weaponized the process. Barbara asks the next question: are the 2020 elections next?

Cutting through the psywar — Pope Leo is being organized against Trump for the midterms. The media wants you demoralized. Susan will refocus you on the revolution — from the economic reset to Artemis II’s historic splashdown.
