life is like this when you have israeli's for neighbors; 

 

On either side of the gate, a long fence encircles the Ideis family home. Iron shutters have been placed over every window. Children rarely come out to play in the courtyard, and the entire property looks abandoned from the outside.

The neighborhood we are visiting is located on land belonging to the village of Burqa, three kilometers away northwest of Nablus. The Ideis family is one of 12 families that have turned their homes into small, semi-fortified compounds in the neighborhood, barricading themselves in their homes as a result of daily attacks from Israeli settlers. Residents of the neighborhood say these attacks have escalated since August 2023 and are aimed at displacing and expelling them from the area.

Masoudiyya sits at the choke point of settlement expansion on the main road connecting Nablus, Tulkarem, and Jenin. The outpost tent erected by settlers outside Masoudiyya is on the front lines of Israel’s effort to create a large settler presence in the heart of the northern West Bank. Israel has proposed a settler road connecting the formerly evacuated Israeli settlements around Nablus and Jenin with the rest of the West Bank’s settlement network — part of a broader “connectivity plan” put forward by the region’s Settler Council to serve 18 new prospective settlements. The road would run along the eastern edge of Masoudiyya...........more..........

 don't like to post rumors but the part with iran still having lots of weapons we haven't seen yet seems probable and interesting. then there's the salt cavern potential collapse. they are huge. i wonder what is on the surface above them and what might be the result;  

If too much oil is removed, the salt caverns may collapse. We also do not know how much water is under the oil: water is pumped under the oil to make it rise (and eroding the salt walls).

Trump is playing a dangerous game. We will soon know the truth concerning our oil situation in this country. Especially the situation for jet fuel and diesel.

 i don't know about your neighborhood but here in western nc we have lots of these situations due to pink haired judges letting monsters loose in our midst. several dead babies in recent days, and several dead young women due to similar causes. solutions don't arrive. government doesn't work for us;

i was always a small world boy after hanging with the hippies plus my religious tendancies but when i began to get exposure to the dot head variety of indians i cracked. this link shows a bit of their cultural allowances. there are rivers in india where you don't know it is until some volunteers come along and clean them. there are parts of north texas that are now dot head indian. everywhere they go they sling their debris. ain't a useful contribution to this country. please excuse my prejudice;

 larry johnson on oil and iran; 

 

The US/Israeli war with Iran has focused the world’s attention on oil because of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. When the war started I thought oil was just oil. Okay… I was ignorant. But over the course of the last four months I have received quite an education from a couple of different experts in the field. If you want to understand one of the key reasons that Donald Trump signed the MoU, you need to understand why the US is dependent on sour crude oil, which comes out of the Persian Gulf. I will try to make it simple — About 65% of the US refineries are built to handle sour crude while the US oil industry primarily produces sweet crude. We need sour crude to produce diesel and aviation fuel. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz means that the US will not have enough sour crude to sustain current production levels of diesel and aviation fuel. That’s the problem in a nutshell.

The United States is the largest crude oil producer in the world, pumping close to 13.8 million barrels per day. It is also, paradoxically, structurally dependent on imported crude oil — roughly 6 to 8 million barrels per day of it in recent years. The war with Iran and the months-long closure of the Strait of Hormuz exposed this paradox in the starkest possible terms: a country awash in its own oil found itself draining its Strategic Petroleum Reserve at record rates to keep diesel and jet fuel flowing. The explanation lies in a mismatch between the kind of oil America produces and the kind of oil its refineries were built to run — and the barrel now bridging that mismatch is being pulled from salt caverns with a finite structural lifespan..........more...........
