People have to face the truth in America, this is an oligarchy.
Extremely large country with no control of genuine direction for the benefit of majority of it’s citizens, by default and given that everybody is doing “their own thing”, is asking to be slowly but surely corrupted beyond repair.
Thus, face the truth indeed.https://x.com/GPX_News/status/2030408940261867656
A strike reportedly wiped out U.S. forces at the Titanic Hotel in Sulaymaniyah Governorate, Iraq.OPPS, Un-intendent consequences
Crude oil tankers are not arriving in Israel for the last 7 days. There were 14 to 20 U.S. aerial refuelling tankers have landed at Ben Gurion Airport allegedly. Other than that no crude oil takers arriving in Israel. The MSC Namibia arrived in Ashdod on 7 March, but it is a container ship. The Sea Destiny docked in Ashdod on 6 March, but it is a bulk carrier.In other words, Israel is been starved of fuel. “Starved” is a bit strong word, but there is no denying that Israel is currently facing its most severe energy crisis in decades.
The no-show of crude tankers in the last few days is a direct result of the Strait of Hormuz closure. Because Iran and its proxies have successfully driven up insurance premiums to prohibitive levels, commercial tankers are simply refusing to enter the Eastern Mediterranean or the Red Sea. Israel is effectively isolated from its traditional oil suppliers in the East.
It isn’t just about ships not arriving; it’s about the fuel already there. Hezbollah has shifted their targeting storage depots and refineries. Israel’s decision to halt all natural gas exports is the clearest indicator of starvation fears. They are hoarding domestic gas from the Tamar and Leviathan fields to keep the power grid running, as they can no longer rely on imported oil to run backup generators or industrial plants.
Israeli government’s decision to halt all natural gas exports is the clearest indicator of starvation fears. They are hoarding domestic gas from the Tamar and Leviathan fields to keep the power grid running, as they can no longer rely on imported oil to run backup generators or industrial plants.
If the blockade holds for another 2–3 weeks without a major protected convoy breaking through, Israel will likely have to implement strict fuel rationing for civilians to prioritise the military.
Despite the tough talk, Trump is currently hitting a brick wall of physical and geopolitical reality. His options are mostly limited to fuming.
If a $200 million tanker with $100 million of oil gets hit by a $20,000 Hezbollah drone, the shipping company goes bankrupt. Trump doesn’t control the global insurance market.
You can’t bully a blocked strait. If Iran sinks even two or three large tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, they create a physical shipwreck hazard that makes the channel unnavigable for months. No amount of U.S. Navy presence can delete a sunken ship or the resulting massive oil spill.
Posted by: James | Mar 8 2026 10:02 utc | 684Copilot: what is happening with oil, LNG, energy distribution in S. America?
The moment we talk about oil, LNG, and energy distribution in South America, we cannot ignore the pattern of attacks, sabotage, and criminal interference that shape the region’s energy flows. It’s not just geology and infrastructure — it’s security.
Let’s map the actual landscape.🔥 1. Attacks on Oil & Gas Infrastructure Are a Structural Feature in South America
These aren’t isolated incidents. They’re part of the operating environment.
🇨🇴 Colombia: the most attacked pipeline system in the hemisphere
– The Caño Limón–Coveñas pipeline has been attacked over 1,500 times since the 1980s.
– Historically targeted by ELN, FARC dissidents, and criminal groups.
– Attacks cause:
– supply disruptions
– environmental damage
– forced shutdowns
– rerouting of crude exports
Even today, ELN continues to hit energy infrastructure as leverage in negotiations.🇪🇨 Ecuador: pipeline sabotage tied to political instability
– The SOTE and OCP pipelines have been repeatedly sabotaged.
– Attacks spike during:
– indigenous protests
– anti‑government uprisings
– cartel‑related violence
– Result: Ecuador often has to declare force majeure on crude exports.🇵🇪 Peru: gas pipeline blockades and attacks
– The Camisea gas system — Peru’s main gas artery — is frequently disrupted by:
– community blockades
– protests over royalties
– occasional sabotage
– These interruptions directly affect LNG exports from Pampa Melchorita.🇧🇷 Brazil: theft and criminal tapping
– Not classic “attacks,” but widespread fuel theft, pipeline tapping, and refinery‑adjacent criminal activity.
– Petrobras reports hundreds of illegal taps per year.🇻🇪 Venezuela: sabotage, theft, and collapse
– Infrastructure is so degraded that:
– theft
– vandalism
– internal sabotage
– and militia interference
are constant.
– Pipelines and refineries fail regularly, sometimes blamed on “attacks,” sometimes on decay.⚡ 2. LNG Infrastructure Is Also Exposed
South America’s LNG terminals are mostly import terminals — and they’re vulnerable.
Examples:
– Chile’s Quintero terminal has faced repeated environmental protests and attempted blockades.
– Argentina’s floating regasification units (FSRUs) are exposed to:
– labor strikes
– port blockades
– political unrest
– Brazil’s LNG terminals have faced criminal interference in port zones.
These aren’t missile strikes — they’re operational disruptions that still choke supply.🌎 3. Why You Don’t Hear This in Official Energy Narratives
Governments and companies often downplay attacks because:
– It affects investor confidence
– It raises insurance costs
– It complicates sovereign credit ratings
– It signals internal instability
But the operational reality is clear:
Energy distribution in South America is shaped as much by security threats as by geology or economics.🧭 4. The Strategic Pattern
Oil pipelines:
Most attacked → Colombia
Most sabotaged for political leverage → Ecuador
Most degraded → Venezuela
Gas pipelines:
Most disrupted by protests → Peru
Most vulnerable to theft → Brazil
LNG terminals:
Most exposed to unrest → Chile, Argentina
————Did this happen?
Overnight footage is pure embarrassment porn: Iran launched dozens of $8 cardboard-and-plastic decoy drones over the Gulf — US/Israeli forces responded by dumping $200 million+ in AIM-120s, David’s Sling interceptors, and Arrow-3 missiles trying to shoot them down.I think that someone simply needs to plainly say out loud that the United States Military began the Iran War by deliberately murdering 165 young girls in the first wave of missiles as a blood sacrifice of children to assure the successful killing of Ayatollah Khomeini that same day. That was the deal. That’s what the Beast demanded in exchange.
They are also forbidden from denying it. Satan would not like that at all.
UAE and Kuwait Start Oil Output Cuts After Hormuz Blockage.
https://t.me/CIG_telegram/70868The United Arab Emirates and Kuwait started reducing oil production, as the near-closure of the crucial Strait of Hormuz ripples through energy markets and affects global supply.
Kuwait’s oil cutback started with about 100,000 barrels a day as of early Saturday and is expected to almost triple on Sunday, with further gradual reductions depending on storage levels and the status of Hormuz, a person with direct knowledge of the plan said, asking not to be named because the details are private.
The UAE, which pumped more than 3.5 million barrels a day as OPEC’s third-biggest producer in January, is using export capacity that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz, and its international storage facilities, to ensure supply to global markets. Adnoc operates a 1.5 million barrel-a-day pipeline to Fujairah on the UAE’s western coast to avoid the strait. Adnoc said its onshore operations are continuing normally.
Cutbacks by the two OPEC members follow a swathe of others in the region. Iraq started holding back production earlier this week as storage tanks started filling up, while Saudi Arabia shut its biggest refinery and Qatar closed the world’s largest liquefied natural gas export plant after drone attacks.
Kuwait Petroleum declared force majeure — a legal clause allowing a company not to fulfill contractual obligations because of circumstances outside its control — on sales of oil and refinery products, according to a notice seen by Bloomberg.
The country produced about 2.57 million barrels a day of oil in January, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The only route out for the supply is through the Strait of Hormuz. Saudi Arabia, the biggest producer in the region, has diverted some of its crude away from this route toward Yanbu in the Red Sea.
Kuwait had earlier begun lowering processing rates at its refineries because of the fuller tanks. The nation’s plants — Al-Zour, Mina Al-Ahmadi and Mina Abdullah — have a combined capacity of about 1.4 million barrels a day. Al-Zour is one of the biggest oil-processing facilities in the Middle East.Posted by: UWDude | Mar 8 2026 15:38 utc | 934
Kunstler, John Stewart………chifut after chifut and name it.
They are shilling for Israel and will absolutely be for detention of anybody thinking otherwise.
Genuinely hysterical people. Just look at him.I have a favor to ask of the geeks and “weaponized autists” lurking within our small circle of TAE readers. Could you guys wade through the documented evidence of the past few decades of US military slaughtering of innocents to see how many of the worsts assaults began with the “accidental” mass murder of children’s hospitals, orphanages and elementary schools?
I suspect that it is a pattern which is date coincident with and deeply connected to the United States adoption of Satanic Zionism as its religion.
How many people need to be maimed or die before the whole world tells these jews to fuck off and die? How many, thousands, millions? At what point do people wake up and shove their new world order up their ass?

… from Captain Obvious news agency–water is wet, fire is hot and concrete floors are hard.Leaked spy report warns Trump’s Iran war faces disaster. A leaked classified report by the National Intelligence Council has shed an unfavorable light on Donald Trump’s decision to strike Iran, warning that military involvement could be disastrous.
“Could be”? Seriously? It already is–it is a military-political catastrophe for the US and its master Israel, and anyone with half military brain knew it was coming. A bunch of corrupt amateurs driven by a combination of factors ranging from religious heresy to desire to cover up their crimes tried to play “war”, not having a clue about it. American generals–a collection of losers, who never won anything but are prolific at parading their insanity, butthurt and incompetence in media are now pushing for deploying 82nd Airborne into what will turn out to be hell from Iranian stand-off weaponry against which the US Army has no defense. US “operational planning”. Complete madness and utter, glaring military-intel incompetence on part of the US. Stupefying–the only word for it.
http://smoothiex12.blogspot.com/2026/03/in-related-news.htmlBritain has just TWO DAYS’ worth of gas stored up – sparking fears of a supply shortage as Iran shuts the Strait of Hormuz and bombards gas and oil refineries
The UK’s gas reserves have dwindled from 18,000 GWh last year to 6,700 GWh, enough for just 1.5 days of demand, according to new data published by National Gas. There is a similar quantity stored as liquefied natural gas (LNG).
Europe is much better prepared to weather fluctuations in supply, with several weeks’ worth of gas stored up.
Traders have been exploiting the UK’s situation by charging it a premium price on gas, knowing it has no choice but to outbid its European competitors. The UK is now paying the highest wholesale gas price in Europe.Posted by: UWDude | Mar 8 2026 16:51 utc | 995
“So it makes the whole US-Israeli war even more senseless, to kill Ayatollah Khamenei and simply get his son in his place – somebody whose going to be furious, of course, at the murder of his father, his mother, his wife, and one of his children in the Israeli strike just a week ago.”
Too late.

Iran is 3% dependent on desalination – US allies in the region at 40-90%Britain’s aircraft carrier may need French escort
Lack of available warships in the Royal NavyA British aircraft carrier may need to be escorted by a French warship if it is deployed to the Middle East. HMS Prince of Wales has been placed on advanced readiness, with the crew told it must be ready to sail with five days’ notice.
However, with most of the Royal Navy’s major warships unavailable or undergoing maintenance, protection would probably need to be provided by allies such as France, the US and other European countries.
A typical carrier escort group includes two to three destroyers or frigates and an attack submarine.
The Royal Navy has six destroyers, but only HMS Dragon is known to be ready for action and is due to sail to the eastern Mediterranean very soon to protect the British sovereign base areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia in Cyprus.
Of the fleet’s seven frigates, only HMS Somerset and HMS St Albans are understood to be available. The rest are undergoing maintenance or struggling with defects.

Asian Markets Closed?
Something weird is going on in Asian markets.
They don’t appear to be open yet!
Are they closed?Every Israeli military operation has a name. Last June, the operation was named “Am KeLavi” – “A Nation Like a Lion” (known as Rising Lion in English). The current operation is Roaring Lion. Its inspiration comes from the book of Numbers chapter 23, verse 24. (Note 23+24=47). The verse describes the nation of Israel metaphorically as a powerful, rising lioness/lion that will not rest until it devours its prey, symbolizing strength and impending victory over its enemies.
[Numbers 23:24] Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain”.
[1 Peter5:8] Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour

Info from Copilot
🔥 What We Know About TODAY’S AttackYes — there was a new attack today on Nevatim Airbase.
Fresh reporting shows Iran launched new missile strikes, and Nevatim was again a primary target. Early footage and reporting confirm missile impacts, but no verified evidence yet of destroyed F‑35s.
🇮🇷 1. Iran launched a new missile strike at Nevatim
A breaking report describes fresh Iranian missile strikes targeting Nevatim Air Base.
The base is one of Israel’s most important installations and hosts the F‑35 fleet.
This is not the October 2024 attack — this is a new strike.🛰️ 2. Claims of major damage are circulating — but not yet verified
Some outlets (especially pro‑Iranian or sensationalist defense media) are already claiming:
– “Complete destruction” of Nevatim
– “F‑35s destroyed”
These claims mirror earlier propaganda patterns and are not yet supported by independent imagery.📹 3. What is confirmed so far
– Missiles did hit Nevatim.
– Video and early reporting confirm impact events.
– No independent satellite imagery has yet been released today.
– No verified evidence of destroyed aircraft.
The only confirmed facts right now come from the initial strike reports and video‑based confirmation of impacts.🧭 Context: Why Nevatim Keeps Getting Hit
Nevatim is repeatedly targeted because it:
– Hosts Israel’s F‑35 squadrons
– Is central to long‑range strike capability
– Is a symbol of Israeli air dominance
Iran’s strategy is to signal capability, not necessarily to destroy the base outright.📌 What We’re Waiting For Next
To know the real extent of damage, we need:
– New satellite imagery (Planet Labs, Maxar, AP)
– Official IDF statements
– Independent verification from analysts (Middlebury, ISI, etc.)
These usually appear within 12–24 hours after a strike.For the U.S. crew.

Jiang Xueqin. Interesting guy, and a brilliant agent of whoever is running China these days. Arrogant, too, which might eventually be his downfall if he does not soon recognize and correct it in himself, which he might do. He’s only 50 years old, so there’s still time.
Definitely worth listening to carefully, because much of what he says is profoundly true, and all of what he intends is carefully hidden. He works for Imperial China, and is worth every yuan their paying him.
Notice that all of his “product”…. written, spoken, taught and videoed….. is presented in American English, so there’s a big hint about his assignment.
