    “Russia’s Oil Windfall Vanishes As Urals Crashes To $42 A Barrel

    “Oil prices rise after report of Iranian attack on commercial ships in Strait of Hormuz” –CNBC

    So oil went both up and down. Thanks.

    Pepe: So was it $50 Million dollars a barrel for oil now? Or was it $50/bbl in Russian delivery price?

    A: No one cares. At all. What the Reality is. They’ll just make up any price, any facts, any words to win on the Internets.
    You DO know the Iran war is still going on, and they’re lobbing TNT in the Straits daily, right? So this is its highest POSSIBLE price.

    “Iran Hits Back, Launching Missiles On Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar – Ignoring Trump’s Warning Of “Much Worse” Bombing (After the previous)

    US Oil is $72. Way below 2012, a 2014 price. What else cost what it did in 2012? Cars? Rent? Hot dogs? We should inflation-adjust it and it would be $65/bbl comp.

    Apparently Mitch McConnell has been unconscious? How could anyone tell? Isn’t that the Resting state of the domestic wild Republican? His wife then consulted with China to get her new orders? Again, as any average Republican would.

    “International Olympic Committee Lifts Suspension, Russians To Compete At LA Games
    “We don’t want to hold athletes accountable for the actions of their government.”

    What a pleasant and amazing change. Whatever brought this on? We all know you’re the most political body on earth and always convict whole teams of innocents without even pretense of trial.

    “The NYT Sat On The Rape Allegations Against Platner Last Month: Always helping their own…

    NYT: never a rape they don’t like, or an innocent guy they won’t accuse of it. Who will it be this week? Do they keep a stack of photos and a dart board to help decide?

    “”I-Beams Bending Like Cigarettes”: Former Pfizer HQ Tower In Midtown At Risk Of Collapse

    Since apparently even Japan lies entirely about their steel and has no standards at all, I can only image what the other shops are like. This is a “Low Trust” society. Tired of it yet? Keep your promises, but to help you out, we’ll also sue the pants off you if you don’t. …And that means we need govt to be trust-able as well.

    “Meet The New Democratic Party: Socialists Say The Quiet Part Out Loud, Want To “Destroy America From Within”

    I think you should let them and see how they like it. Like let them take over a mid sized city and school board and have to contract to live it out for themselves and all of us for 12+ years. I say we have open season on them if anything goes wrong. Like those quarter machines at the carnival, crossed with a dunking booth? If they go in, it’s filled with alligators and electric eels. We the public get to add quarters according to how mad we are or how well they’re doing. Pay per View + Cage Match.

    “The target is that Europe takes over the conventional defense of the European continent.”

    From whom? What if they were invaded with 20M military-age fighting men. What would they do? Give them free houses, extravagant monthly pay, and free health care? Would you build them that new airport back in Pakistan on the British tax bill? Can you imagine what they would do if the immigrants bothered to ask or had guns? Needless to say: I totally, totally trust you with this, the defense of Europe. I see no reason to doubt you so far. In fact, here’s the keys to the Five Eyes! Read all you want!

    “Spain: 70% Of Tested ‘Unaccompanied Minor’ Immigrants Are Actually Adults

    Bone testing from across Europe has revealed migrants are lying about their age in massive numbers, all due to specific advantages for “minors,”

    Yes, to go to school with 15 year old girls where 15 year old boys are no threat to them. And clearly the teachers aren’t if they let them in in the first place.

    “Trump Greenlights Patriot Missile Production In Ukraine, Praises Deep Strikes Into Russia
    “It’s an escalation but it’s also an escalation that can help lead to an end [of the war].”

    This is firmly contrary to my narrative. Yes, I see it.

    “Trump To Delist Syria From Terror Designation, Boasts Of Putting ‘Fantastic’ Sharaa In Power

    Do not understand this. Apparently no one does. It is Realpolitik tho. Syria is not a terrorist state but most nation states aren’t: they’re just acts of war. Israel is one of the few that could fall firmly in “Acting to cause terror alone” camp. Syria is not taking small violent actions outside their borders now, so good. But then, they never did. It was U.S. Bulls—t, but look who was running our policy then. “Then” being from 1963 or 1949 to almost yesterday.

    They lose their panties over this guy being an ISIS guy – which he is – But that means he isn’t real at all, works for “The West” (Who?), and is a better person than Mitch McConnell for example, among Americans. Don’t worry about the other guy: pay attention and fix yourself.

    “US Navy Backs 3,800 MPH-Speeding Blackbeard Hypersonic Missile With First Contract

    Has it ever flown? And is Mach 5 “Hypersonic”? I didn’t think so at all, maybe we should make a definition: planes go Mach 2, so 5 doesn’t seem very fast.

    “Canada Considered Suing Citizens Over “False And Misleading” Social Media Posts

    Europe is going to take all phones, all data, all speech ever, with total control and surveillance. If you hadn’t guessed. So Canada will do this about one day after.

    So if you want no normal nation to ever visit, and for no business to want to deal with that, travel there, interact with you because of very real and fatal liability, go ahead. The North Korea of Europe. I’m going to fly into a merger or project meeting in London or Belgium when I have a good chance of being arrested at the window? And they’re going to take all the corporate espionage data and hand it to Bosch and Santander? Yeah, no thanks. All business stops. Iron Curtain in months.
    …Which is how the original one was made: financially.

    And so thus with Canada. You think you can prosper with no trade with the U.S.? And you think this is not identical to the Ukraine-Russian relationship? With the same plan? To cut off your news and info then murder 2 Million of you throwing you at Minnesota? Don’t be a punk. This is the dumbest and least Canadian plan in the history of Canada.

    Break off, become a territory, then grab most of the Provinces so Ottawa doesn’t murder you. Then double-cross the United States, decline to become a state again, and become Canada 2.0 without the rapacious dips—ts in Ottawa and T’ronto. Not to say they’re gone, but the normal people of Ontario and historic Canadians take it back from a micro-minority of Liberal Progressives and start manufacturing, mining, and growing canola again.

    I’ll leave this for a second.

    Story, yesterday’s painting: so there’s a reason for VanGogh’s ear that makes a lot more sense. He was hanging around with Paul Gauguin for instance, and drinking a lot, let’s just say it’s him, If you know that kind of thing. So yes, they are ALL lunatics, not just Van Gogh and being drunk and rowdy all the time on absinthe or whatever they got into a fight that was actually a swordfight – again, just goofing around, being reckless again. And VanGogh’s ear was cut off.

    Okay, why? Why lie about it? Well geez, fellows, Gauguin would go to jail. And rightfully so! The fighting is probably illegal and frowned upon, but the injury definitely is! Even though VanGogh is equally responsible. Mostly. But it’s not like you can set up some kind of amazing master plan; somebody’s going to notice the ear missing like, by morning, when y’all sober up. So with that sort of drunken logic, they cook up the prostitute plan with a gal they know, who is probably in on it and doesn’t want Gauguin, a customer, going to jail either. Who does that serve? Like isn’t this penalty enough?

    Thus the story to us today.

    But you see what happened after. It all got dark. They edged away, moved away. Like too much meth, have a come-to Jesus moment here. …But that also did not serve Vince well, ultimately. He needed them, and perhaps a bit loopy to be on his level. Connecting. He didn’t manage the transition.

    Say no to drugs.
