 larry johnson has some info about our coming fuel problems; 

 

Once again Karl W. Miller has put numbers to a problem that most of the commentariat still treats as a temporary price spike. His latest forward outlook, “The Five-Year Global Energy Crisis,” dated October 3, makes an argument that should alarm every finance ministry from Berlin to Jakarta. The war’s damage to Gulf energy infrastructure is not a disruption that ends when the shooting stops. It is a reconstruction problem measured in years and trillions of dollars, and while it is solved, the world will be short of the fuels that run its economy.

 A ceasefire is not a repair crew

Miller’s central insight is simple. A ceasefire can reopen a shipping lane overnight. It cannot manufacture a compressor, mobilize commissioning engineers, or pay a contractor. The next phase of this crisis, he writes, is a competition for cash, equipment, qualified contractors and finished fuel.

His cost model is sobering. In his aggressive case, rebuilding the damaged Gulf energy system requires $1.16 trillion in total program funding. Under prolonged stress, with scarce equipment, rising prices and delays, the bill reaches $2.53 trillion. Even his faster case runs to nearly half a trillion dollars. He is careful to say these are model outputs, not contractor quotes, and that the true extent of the damage is the largest unknown. An April assessment put energy-related repair costs at only $34-58 billion. But the direction of his argument doesn’t depend on the exact figure. Every month of delay makes the same repair more expensive, because the global market for specialized equipment and crews is already stretched by LNG expansions, refinery maintenance and power projects elsewhere...........more.........

 

 caitlin says zionism is obviously a racist problem;

 

On Sunday the UK Greens adopted a motion asserting that Zionism is a form of racism, defining the ideology as “an ethnonationalist political project.” 

Green Party leader Zack Polanski, who is Jewish, was immediately banned by the Israeli government from entering the nation after the motion was passed.

As you might expect, Israel apologists are presently churning out hasbara trying to spin the new Green Party policy as an evil attack on Jews and arguing that Zionism is actually a perfectly lovely and normal thing that we should all support.

“Zionism is just the belief that Jews deserve a homeland and self-determination,” they’ll claim, often adding a suggestion that the real racists are those who would oppose such a reasonable position.............more........

 this guy would give any nazi a run for his money, being the most heinous;

 

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir claimed that all three administrative areas of the occupied West Bank “belong to Israel,” contradicting arrangements established under the Oslo Accords between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization.

Under the 1995 Oslo II Accord, the West Bank was divided into Areas A, B and C. Area A is under full Palestinian control, Area B is under Palestinian civilian and Israeli security control. Area C, which accounts for around 60% of the territory, is under full Israeli control.

“There is no difference between Areas A, B and C. The entire land is ours. This is our country,” Ben-Gvir told Israel’s right-wing Channel 14 on Thursday.

Ben-Gvir also threatened to dismantle the Palestinian Authority, and push for the displacement of Palestinians from West Bank and the Gaza Strip if he becomes the defense minister.

He claimed that 60% of Palestinians want to “emigrate,” despite reports to the contrary. “I will dedicate time to this, and I will manage the process continuously. Every week, I will hold a discussion involving all relevant parties,” he said.

Asked how Israel could provide additional forces for West Bank and Gaza, Ben-Gvir said: “It is very simple: The more you allow soldiers to shoot and use force, the less manpower you need.”.........more............

 mr peters speaks of the rent all property owners must pay or loose their ground; 

 

When I paid off my mortgage, I thought – finally – I’d no longer have to make monthly payments. Anyone who “owns” (a sad term, given the realities) their home knows better. The payments aren’t monthly – like a mortgage or rental payment – but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re making them.

It occurs to me that it would be a helpful exercise – to help people understand the reality of their situation – to think about the payments they’re having to make on a monthly rather than once every six months or once a year basis. This way, it’s very clear you’re paying every month to avoid being evicted from what isn’t really your house, just as if you stopped paying your mortgage or rent. The latter word is italicized because it’s the proper word to use. A mortgage is finite. At some point, you pay the thing off. At which point, no more paying. Rent, on the other hand, is always due – forever. Or at least, for as long as you want to avoid being told you’ve got to leave (and helped to leave, if it comes to that, by the sheriff).

The way property taxes – i.e., the rent you’re required to pay to avoid being evicted from the home you thought you “owned” – are structured is deliberate, in the same way (and for the same reason) that what they call “withholding” was structured the way it is structured. “Withholding” means they subtract money from your paycheck before you even get the chance to hold it, however briefly. The genius of this is it conditioned people to regard their so-called “take home” pay – the money they actually get to hold – as their actual pay. In other words, they are conditioned to not even miss what they never actually had. If instead people had to write a check to the government come April 15 for all the money the government says they “owe,” there would probably be a revolution. Instead, people just plod along, never missing the money they never actually had (though they did actually work to earn it)..............more............

 tokens are the scheme with which you will own nothing; 

 

“You will own nothing and be happy.”

You remember the slogan. It was mocked. It was dismissed. It was treated as a conspiracy theory.

It was a plan. And the mechanism for completing that plan is called tokenization.

Tokenization is not a technological upgrade. It is a legal structure that separates ownership from control. It converts your home, your land, your assets into a token—a digital claim on a company that holds the thing you thought you owned. When you buy a token, you do not own the apartment. You own a share in a company that owns the apartment. Your name comes off the deed. Your rights become revocable. Your ownership becomes a permission slip that can be frozen, programmed, or revoked.

The New York Stock Exchange is being tokenized right now.

January 2026: NYSE announced digital platform
March 2026: MOU with Securitize
April 2026: SEC approved rule change SR-NYSE-2026-17
May 2026: rule fully operational
July 15, 2026: DTCC pilot production trades
Q3 2026: first token-settled trades expected
Late 2026: full launch targeted

I just finished Patrick Wood and Courtenay Turner’s The Final Betrayal: How Technocracy Destroyed America. I was in shock for days..........more..........

What the Cornell Rape Allegation Really Tells Us Is that  Sexual Morality Is Stone Dead and that Men and Women Willingly Participate in Promiscuous Sexual Debauchery

Paul Craig Roberts

Richard Parker provides a well-researched account.  Read his account as a check on the accuracy of my brief summary: https://www.unz.com/article/concerning-a-rape-allegation-scandal-at-cornell/ 

Here in brief is the documented story given to the police by the female Cornell Student.  In October 2024, she agreed to  sexual activity known as threesomes, in this case FMM.  The activity with varying male partners continued all night until 5:45 am at which time she declared that she was tired.  The sex stopped.  She told the police that she voluntarily used alcohol and ketamine and that she was OK with the threesomes.  The district attorney found nothing to prosecute.  Why it was investigated is unclear as apparently she made no complaint.

She learned from a sorority sister that she was acquiring the reputation of a slut.  Her response was that her critics were just jealous, that she enjoyed the threesomes, it wasn’t illegal, and sexual behavior and practices were changing.  Perhaps her behavior was on the cutting edge, but before long it would be ordinary.

The students were mimicking the sexual activity they watch on porn sites.  It is amazing how upset liberals get over the sexual liberation they fostered, especially the feminists who taught that women should be as promiscuous or more than men.  As early as 1965 Feminist Helen Gurley Brown’s magazine, Cosmopolitan, was a fixture in doctors’ and dentists’ waiting rooms with its cover stories “How to Cheat on Your Husband Without Getting Caught,” and “How to Find a Sexual Partner when on Vacation Without your Boyfriend.”  I often wondered what my mother, aunts, and grandmothers’ would think.  As time passed feminists transformed themselves from encouragers of female sexual promiscuity to regarding heterosexual sex as rape........more........
