Participant“Iran’s parliament speaker Ghalibaf has reiterated that America should know that “in a region where we don’t sell oil, no one will sell oil.”
I mean, yay, but they’ve sold 500 ships of oil and you’ve sold none now? We all want things; the question is if you can DO them.
“Caravan Of 600+ Migrants Making Its Way Through Mexico To The US Border
“This will have major repercussions,”How? How will this have any repercussions? At all? They just removed more than 600 in Kansas packing plants alone. 600 is no amount of people, lost in one county, even a rural one. And Trump will turn them back at the border as per the asylum ruling – for which they are not eligible anyway. So this is all painting fake headlines for the election, isn’t it?
C’mon Zerohedge: this is how all other news agencies lost their edge too.
“Hegseth To Cut Top Generals, Admirals ‘By 20%’ Amid Ongoing Pentagon Shakeup
Cue Bird and Fortune, with 5 times as many admirals as ships.
“Texas ranchers and truckers could start seeing some relief at the fuel pump starting this week after Gov. Greg Abbott proclaimed a statewide disaster on Sept. 28 to ease diesel shortages.”
Oh, so there’s all kinds of stuff we could be doing but didn’t bother? And so a big slice of this problem is voluntary?
I’d like to compare gas prices vs historical averages, say, 1920, 30, 40, 50, and 1960, but there’s no easy way to do it. It would be interesting to see if we crossed this effective price periodically, or if you’d have to go back to the first cars to see a price this high.
1920 80c / 30c = R2.66
1930 50c / 20c = R2.5
1940 67c / 18c = R3.72 (They call this $4.41 inflation adjusted)
1950 75c / 27c = R2.77
1960 $2 / 30c = R6.66
1970 $3 / 35c = R8.57
1980 $7 / $1.2 = R5.83 (This is rated as $5.24 inflation adjusted)
1990 $10 / $1.2 = R8.33 (I am surprised, but these seem correct)
2000 $15 / $1.5 = R10 (More surprised)
2010 $21 / $2.8 = R7.5
2026 $33 / $6 = R5.5You can see today is well within any normal range with normal economies. The Zero-date is good since it excludes WWII, a lot of the Depression, and the inflation of the 1970s, and GWoT. Since it’s a ratio, the Higher the number, the better off you are, so to speak. 2 gal per hour work or 10gal per hour work. So 1950 was Waaaaaaaaay worse than now, twice as bad, with people still being very careful and not going anywhere, which is why going out cruising (5 miles to town) was so special. If we drove only 5 miles instead of 35, gas would be “cheap” here too. We are at the level of the un-fun, weighty 1980, which feels about correct.
Prices are all about perception, where they are pinned in your mind as “normal”. And prices are a spectrum of ratios, how many gallons per hour per pizza per tshirt. This is certainly unpleasant, but not outside of any norms. Again, the problem is the Distance (and speed), not the gallons. It’s the cost of the car, not the gas. We’re being way more pummeled in taxes and insurance, car values than gas. Just removing (recent) taxes would probably 2x recoup all gas costs. That’s why Canada and California are sunk, and Texas is booming.

ParticipantOutside stats, Apparently 12M bbl/day through Hormuz now? And as I was saying, Iran “Hit” the ship, but the ship keeps going, unharmed. So they’re hitting the ships with toilet paper and smoke bombs for the cameras. Reporters eat it up, because they won’t print anything that isn’t untrue.
So hundreds of ships, 12M/day, and 2/3rds of the pre-war flow right now. That seems plausible. However, Iran has NO flow, nearly zero. So good luck. They are suing for a ceasefire (as does Ukraine when they’re losing) and Trump says no. This is why Saudi is about to collapse and hand Mecca to their arch-enemy.
Instead, there are now street uprisings, but how and what kind, who knows?
“And they started the war with Russia in 2014 by funding the coup d’ etat that overthrew the legitimately elected pro-Russian president of Ukraine.”
Yes. And this was “America” or at least we were doing our half of support within NATO and the Atlanticists. Remember all the Ukraine Flags? Man they love flags. Fags love flags? Sounds pejorative, accusatory, hyperbolic. No, I mean literally, they were all the same virtue-signaling houses and neighborhoods. It wasn’t a “Trump 16” sign on the lawn with a Ukraine flag, it was the Rainbow Flag and a Ukraine flag. Why, I do not know, still haven’t figured it out, since against all wars…except any war they’re told to like. Against all oligarchs and patriarchy except this one, the one we’re in. Anywhooo…
Canada rapidly collapsing, I could post the companies and podcasts, but no one seems interested. Many of you live there, you already know. It’s bad. 50% of all liquor sales dead overnight.
“• Trump To Order Renaming Artificial Intelligence ‘Super Intelligence’ (ETM)
This seems super-dumb but it’s all Bernays and Media. They’ve spent a lifetime prepping this as “Do robots have consciousness?” “Are we gods creating new life?” “If I turn off my i386 for the night is it murder??” Ethical morass, confusion, fear, etc. But it’s all TIED to the word. By Bernays. Ad executives. Feelings. Change the word, it UN-Ties all that steaming crappola in our, the nation, culture’s mind. So this is how Trump is good at the media, clipping the root of this weed in one stroke.
Does it fix everything? No. But it lets us have a more decent conversation at least, that doesn’t start openly retarded. We’ve got enough problems.
“ Trump Launches America.Gov Website Simplifying Access to Govt Services (ET)
Like DOGE, researchers (I won’t say Reporters, who are illiterate) can then query the site and find more billions in fraud. Because it’s just numbers.
“• Elon Musk Makes a Move on the Banks (Jeffrey A. Tucker)
He’s ALWAYS been in the banks. Or only the Banks. That’s what PayPal is. He’s not an inventor or engineer. He’s a buyer, a manager. He’s sidelined into this other MICMAC work, but the Banks are the real seat of power, so he, Thiel, Dorsey, are always circling it. This has long been created by the crypto people, but THE WRONG PEOPLE WERE GETTING RICH, and they shut it down, outlawed it, and are refusing to pass the required laws ten years later, with the Genius Act this month among others.
However, if MUSK wants it, Boom, overnight, because then the RIGHT people are getting rich. This is Capitalism, where we have only government, a monopoly, and no competition.
“• Anthropic Warns of Existential AI Risks; OpenAI Scraps “Deceptive” Model (ZH)
Sir, I TOTALLY BELIEVE YOU. That’s why we’ve come here today to shut your whole company down for the good of the nation. I’m sure you’ll understand and agree, this is the only safe course of action for the Federal Agents and the US Army tanks we brought with us. …I mean, unless you were lying or something. Which is a high-level SEC violation.
“Trump and Republicans aren’t polling well, yet Democrats are doing even worse,”
Not a genius here, but that means they’re BETTER? And will WIN? That’s what “election” means, sir.
“”Donald Trump does have more influence on more races than any other Republican, even than Ronald Reagan,”
Why? Because the GOP is generally still filled with double-crossing traitors who will do nothing. Trump’s stamp suggests that they MIGHT, maybe, possibly, outside chance, not be a complete zero not worth your time. That’s why it works. Because the whole GOP sucks. They would sell themselves and the whole country to the Democrats for a Snickers bar.
“House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said on Sept. 28 that Democrats would put lowering costs first if they win the House
You’re the guys who RAISED all the costs! Doubled them in 4 years! Without even a war! How did you even manage that? First time ever without shooting. Now when Trump got inflation from 10-20% down to 3% it’s his high fault.
“The point is to stand up for the Constitution.”Impeachment says that you can’t get into an illegal war in Iran without constitutional approval. Impeachment says that you can’t just start firing federal employees in defiance of what Congress says. Impeachment says you can’t do deals with foreign governments to allegedly enrich your own family. “It’s about setting a standard.” He said Democrats could pursue impeachment while also moving on child care, the minimum wage, paid family leave, and taxes on billionaires in their first 100 days.”
Totally agree. So we need to go back and Impeach Clinton, Obama, and Biden for the very same things. I mean, you start a book at the front cover and not the last paragraph, right? It’s almost like it’s only bad when Trump does it, so spare me. We also know that while I and other Conservatives (if that’s what we are) say this going back to the first newspapers we ever read with the same criticisms, your arguments are not consistent at all but ruthlessly cynical and self-serving. We were all against Clinton’s war, Bush’s war, Obama’s war, Biden’s war, but you only suddenly notice it when the other Team is in power. Spare me.
All these things depend on a Good Faith discussion you don’t have.
“Jordan said potential targets he believed that Democrats would go after include businesses that helped fund Trump’s inauguration”
What? That’s Cray-cray. They would never do that. What’s that? Cruz just questions Jack Smith who subpoenaed every GOP donor in all the races, and wiretapped every GOP Congressman, signed but the dozens like candy by DNC Boasberg?
Oh, so they WOULD arrest anyone Trump ever met including his own lawyers! …Past tense. Because “Time Exists” and they’ve already done this dozens and dozens of times. …And still lost.
I say good! Now we can wiretap every DEMOCRATIC Congressman, every donor, and use AI to dig through everything they’ve ever done with a Special Investigator for two years. That’s all fair, right?
“Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito recused himself from one of the term’s most important cases:
Similar here. HONEST Judges like Alito recuse. The hundreds of crooked ones don’t. So Every case has an automatic bias toward Evil. Unless you put their heads in a bucket and spank them senseless, impeaching everyone unless they ALSO recuse when normal. Right?
There’s another problem though: within circles, everybody knows somebody, and cases and companies return. So if you go far enough, every judge should recuse every time. And that’s not practical. So where’s the line? We do it by tradition, which is slippery.
Key here is what was the judge where his DAUGHTER was the case? Or Investigator Muller? Where he was in GPS firm. Evil never Re-cuses, they Ex-cuse. You have to “Make Them”. So that’s YOUR lack and dereliction of duty. Evil knows and counts on it. You don’t want to fight every battle and every advantage: they do. Being mentally ill by definition, they can’t help it but press every something-for-nothing. So you have to, like it or not.
“• Ukraine Is Asking For A Truce. While Preparing For A Bigger War (Poletaev)
I feel like I’m in Crazyland. How many years is it now Russia said there will never be any ceasefire, no not never not at any time under any circumstances? 3 years running? And they float this monthly. Plus Stopping at the contact line. …But conceding nothing. Classic London/Euro behavior, we see this in eg DMZ in Korea. “Nothing lasts as long as the temporary” – Napoleon. And the DMZ since 1950. Always leave everything unsettled; Forever if possible. Like the East/West Berlin. It causes the most problems Evil can capitalize on. Yeah, no thanks. I hope Russia takes it out to Copenhagen and Normandy and straightens things out, but they’re not dumb enough.
Here’s the thing: They say “But Russia will have a hostile on the Western border!!” Russia ALWAYS has a hostile on their Western Border, because Europe is reliably insane. So staying close to home and supply chain as possible and making Europe march their morons 500 miles EAST to die on their front door is way more economical. Why the morons don’t rise up against Ukraine…or Belgium…I don’t know. That’s their problem. This is normal for them, and I don’t know why at the Somme or in WWII either – it’s what they DO. So what’s Russia’s plan and end state?
We know the Plan: it’s to BLEED Europe out. Which was Europe’s plan for Russia, actually. That’s going extremely well but is annoying. What’s the end state? I’m not smart enough to know, and it’s intricate to the people and geography there. But I’d say same as always: Whole region becomes a buffer, “THE” Ukraine, THE Borderlands. Nothing stable is allowed to be built there, and Russia’s western border is the Dniepr. Next real, viable state to the West is all the way over in Poland. To do otherwise, they will need to flip Romania as NATO implodes, then they can safely take the whole coast and Odessa, where the other nations there like Bulgaria are very manageable. “NATO” these WESTERN European war-mongering maniacs, are back in Paris then, far away. London collapses as UK is a 3rd world hole, which it already is, matching a pre-1600 experience.
“• Le Pen Scores ‘Historic Victory’ In French Senate Vote (RT)
If any fall, the EU ceases. That’s Germany, but Italy would put it in a Coma. France would sink it as well. Okay: remember, Germany owns France. They own the French Bonds and Tier II. So if France isn’t subservient, let’s not say they don’t pay, but in a sense cause issues with that, then Germany’s whole “wealth” and savings account vanishes too. That’s the whole EU.
“The caravan originally started in Honduras but has now crossed into Mexico,… hunger and poverty were the only reasons they headed toward the United States.”
That means nothing to me, that’s not asylum, you fools. Go home and work and fix your own country. And Mexico has no border? They just allow infinity Hondurans in? Yeah, no, Mexico can stop this in a weekend. They get 10 buses, put them on, and drive them back to the southern Mexican border. If you want to sneak back in, we can find you and make you walk 500 miles over and over again as many times as necessary. What are you eating during this time? Just robbing houses n’ stuff? C’mon! Do you know how expensive that is? It’s cheaper to fly, that’s why people do it. So you had several hundred or a thousand dollars to walk the trip, but are broke? Go home and use that $1000 on your family. OR you’re all petty criminals and burglars who should be jailed for many crimes before Sonora.
…OR SOROS IS PAYING FOR IT ALL AS A STUNT. It’s cheaper for Soros to bus them as well, but he needs the news coverage of retarded crayon-munching reporters who can’t ask very, very simple questions about “Reality”. “Golly Juan, what have you been eating these 20 days?”
“ They know that this is a litigation tool to stop teaching kids the Gospel.”
So this is a State Religion. Stopping all others. Easy. “Atheistic commies really don’t like the competition”
Because their point of view is ALSO a Religion. A religion is essentially a paradigm, a worldview, that’s it. It’s “Having opinions”. Maine says it’s illegal to have opinions. Maine will issue your state-ordained opinions to you.
