“USS Abraham Lincoln Returning Home After Being Sunk Three Times By Iran
For a change I didn’t say it. Just pointing out that everybody knows and is laughing at you.
“The world economy, at the same time, is running into the biggest diesel fuel squeeze it has ever seen,”
Yet this is not showing up. Is it because, as seems with so many other numbers, something is fraudulent and misreported? I won’t say so. But remember: the U.S. can stop OUR diesel problem overnight. We stop exporting to Europe and use it for ourselves. I mean, that is why “us” and “The other guy” exists as categories. We help “Us” first and “The other guy” after.
So consider this, as it doesn’t matter what “World” diesel or refinery numbers are. It might be locked in Russia, for instance. China could shut off exports to all of Asia for instance. It only matters where YOU are.
Again, we have MASSIVE oil. It’s not in shortage at all. Russia, Iran, most of the U.S., Venezuela and Canada are all either locked in or curtailed for no geological reason. I’m sure that’s like 5 previous oil booms. There are scores more such cases worldwide, eg Libya or North Sea. A suspicious man might think oil is being intentionally shut in and sabotaged for a reason, such as to keep prices high.
So when it’s all voluntary, oil price and shortages can be cured almost overnight.
“The other genuine break is in Tokyo: the 10-year JGB closed above 3% for the first time since 1996 and the 30-year auction cleared at a record 4.079%, with a fresh yen intervention on top”
This is the important story but there’s not that much to say about it.
““I’m so glad you said that, because Israel is about to deliver us socialism… Israel’s on the ballot and Israel is so hated right now that we’re gonna turn to socialism instead.”
I don’t find this to be true. People in Twitter and Brooklyn are not the United States. It’s annoying and it matters, but it’s in percentages perhaps single digits. See MAGA vs America First debate fail.

“China’s Provinces Show Evidence Of Financial Pressure And The Economy’s Imbalances
As yesterday. Don’t invest here, invest in Germany and Spain. No? You’re going to Carney and invest only in the US?
Catching up, they had the MAGA vs America First debate. (Yes that makes no sense. Don’t think too deeply about it.) What’s the takeaway? This fabricated division has no traction in America. Doesn’t exist. Not that the concepts don’t diverge, but we’re able to tell what is real and fake. So…London and Tavistok lose again, and they burned like their last candle to try it, as shown by Tucker, Candice, Jones, and Kent. Zip. Zero. Nada. And it was a good plan. That totally could have worked.
But they have like zero elegance, intelligence, understanding of what America is and what Americans think and do.
Same as when the tried to set up the Race War (total fail. TOTAL) And the KKK-Nazi attempt. Fail. Utter, complete fail. There are so many Nazis in American the SPLC can’t find them even when they pay a MILLION dollars for them. There are so many militias that the FBI has to hire Every. Single. Man. In the Patriot Front. While actual Americans point and laugh at them. Khakis! Hahahahahaha! What a bunch of loser-retards! Matching suits! Could you BE more ghey?
…That’s about as close to zero as it’s possible to be. Heck, I remember it was a running joke in the 70s that every KKK member was FBI even then! (Spoiler: It was true. There are several books on it, Google.).
So. Since all of THAT is made up, unreal, not happening. What’s ACTUALLY going on?

Iran-Lego Triumphant! Haven’t been wrong yet!
Der Spiegel — sort of Germany’s Time — ran a cover story on August 14 calling him “the most dangerous man in Germany.”
He’s just a guy. It’s Germany anti-Democracy, and a relentlessly anti-human EU that made him both necessary and possible. The CDU could have followed Democracy at any time, delivering the will of the people. They are vehemently, even violently opposed to the people. I’m shocked that after killing 5 candidates last year, they didn’t just kill and jail all the new ones in their normal fashion, a la LePen.

“Ukraine Cannot Be Settled Like A Business Deal ( Lukyanov)
Uhhh. Right? It also can’t be settled with Rochambeau. What brings this up? Is he trying to say Treaties are not Contract Law? ‘Cause pretty sure they are.
“the persistence of Donald Trump’s administration, which has pursued this goal for more than a year and a half, also deserves recognition,
Russia says this. Everyone else says Russia has no idea what they’re saying, they’re idiots and liars, and Russia has no idea who their enemies are. Lookin’ at you Fox News and all the Alexes. I have this weird idea that nations probably know who they’re fighting and who they’re not? But that’s me.
“extraordinarily difficult but essentially technical problem, …where international affairs are a collection of practical problems to be resolved in ways that strengthen America’s position,”
Should we solve problems by weakening our position? Why would anyone do that? “So long as we get weaker, I’m all in!” “The more weakerer we get, the more betterer it is for us! I don’t understand the first, like, it’s not difficult, not a problem, not something that can be worked out? Then what are negotiations? Simple? Black and White? You just hand them a blank paper and they write whatever they want on it? Strange premise, one that has never happened in all human history.
What he’s demanding, cutting out all this diplo-speak, is that we invade and conquer all Western Europe to make them concede to Russia what they want. That is neither reasonable nor practical. Failing that, what, exactly, would you like us to do? And similar to Israel. You want us to stop them, then I want to see you cheer when we invade, land on the beaches, and start shooting up thousands of civilians going town to town as we conquer the Levant, backed with world troops and hundreds of billions in support.
I suspect there would be no cheering, just another reason to hate us again for doing exactly what you wanted, like any other violent, deranged ex wife. And not lift a finger yourselves.
Everyone knows our political situation and how much leverage factions have – it’s no secret. In practical terms, what would you like us to do? Are we pushing as hard as is reasonable and safe for this Major-General to do?
One of these – and I was less inclined to credit is: conflicts exist because they can get buy-in from adequate power-blocs to say yes. They Profit, in some way. But that also means they will not stop so long as they are STILL profiting, in some way.
“the conflict is highly unlikely to end in the near future. The war’s prolongation is not merely the result of battlefield stalemates, but the product of a complex web of survival imperatives, intelligence-agency dominance, and grim strategic utility. From this perspective, the conflict’s continuation serves the immediate interests of the key actors involved, creating a self-sustaining cycle that resists peaceful resolution…”This stands to reason, but gets very stark, and also surprising. As the war should weaken them, morally, expose them and reduce leverage, when it seems to increase it. That may mean the money, the profit they make and share among their few selves, more than outweighs the great unhappiness and opposition of the host nations at large. No surprise. People often lament, yet it’s newly surprising each time.
Lukyanov is saying this 10,000 year truism shouldn’t be true this time, I guess ‘coz, “The United States.” Whut. Hardy har har. Everyone else says the same thing: all reason, all history, all norms, all physics don’t apply when the United States is involved. We alone can do all things for all people and are expected to do so immediately. Chop-Chop, coolie. It’s corrosive since it’s a constant, subtle, unspoken assumption of almost the whole world outside our borders. No. Guess what? We’re just a country, and we tell you that all the g-dd—n time. Get a grip. We ain’t yo Santa Claus.
We’re neither running things nor breaking things, you’re all grown-ass adults. Do some work. Take some responsibility.

“Despite nearly everything in the political environment supposedly being in their favor. Between history, President Donald Trump’s approval ratings, and gas prices, polls should consistently give them a huge edge. Yet the most recent Harvard-Harris poll showed the GOP ahead by two points among likely voters on the generic congressional ballot.
This is a problem since all polls are Dem +8. That is they ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS put the Democrats ahead by many points. And are always wrong. And never correct themselves next time. Decades, at least 30 years. So if they are “Only” Plus 2, it means they’re going to lose by 2-6%. Again, compare with the never-wrong Lego-IRGC and their copium. Uhh, no. And no one here thinks so. But go ahead and be wrong again, my record speaks for itself.
“what Democrats are actually campaigning on: nothing.”
Stunning, as I daily say. They could run on LIES. They refuse. JUST LIE!! We know you’re lying, they know you’re lying, you’ll never give workers healthcare, you’ll cut the minimum wage, import 20 million to lower wages further, raise taxes 20% forever, cut every worker’s d—k off, we know! …But just LIE about it and say you won’t.
They can’t. They won’t. That’s really amazing to me. They so ACTUALLY believe their own nonsense they’d rather lose hiding it than face the truth in themselves and just cynically LIE about it and take power, driving their enemies before them, shooting them wildly and drinking wine from the skulls of the Red Hats, raping their (well, actually only Democratic) women as they go.
How hard is it to lie? You just do it anyway, but their psychology is so lost in itself it isn’t even practical. They have such inner psychosis they can’t see the field, and have no idea who or what Americans are. Look at their Movies! Or Sports. They’re literally the melting down, rocking-in-a-corner insane. Mrs. Clancy’s hundreds of thousands of Pro-murder-everyone-of-every-age comes to mind.

“‘Flee KIEV, before it’s too LATE’: Russia issued a Tough Warning to Western Diplomats and Servicemen”
Just pointing out “Western”. Alex Mercouris was on again (yes I listen, thanks Reid) and again was tirelessly “Western”. Because he can’t be honest, at all, ever, and say “Europe”. It’s the best lie he can manage at this point so he sticks to it. “The West” does this and that in Kiev, to Russia. Uhh, is CANADA in that list? Korea? Japan? Australia? Nope. Is the U.S. in that list or not just aside, but actively pressuring a peace, for over a year since Inauguration and definitely Anchorage? Nope. They are not, in the biggest possible way.
There is no “West”, only Europe. This is exclusively a voluntary war of expansion, by Europe, on Russia. For their resources, and for the yummy, yummy genocide of two or more nations, all Slavs. (They were hoping to wipe out Poland). This is what makes them morally superior and we should all listen to them.
More honor to Canada in a way, that they also refuse to lift a finger to help. However, if they do so, they should really knock off the rhetoric. And perhaps applaud fewer Ukrainian Nazi Waffen SS Officers.

Iran plans a new exclusion zone extending from the U.S. naval blockade line toward the Strait of Hormuz and into the Persian Gulf, targeting vessels attempting to transit the waterway.
Overview
Iran announced plans to establish an exclusion zone near the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic chokepoint for global oil and gas shipments. The zone is intended to cover areas from the U.S. naval blockade line toward the strait and further into the Persian Gulf. Any vessel identified entering this area with the intention of passing through the strait could be placed on Iran’s sanctions list————-

War On Iran: Crude Price Nears $100 Barrel While Trump Still Hopes To WinAnother attack by Ansarullah of Yemen has damaged three oil production facilities in Saudi Arabia. The ARAMCO refinery in Jizan, with a capacity of 400,000 barrel per day (bpd), went offline. Crude oil prices increased:
By 08:00 GMT, Brent crude futures had increased by $2, or 2.06%, reaching $99 per barrel (bbl), reported Reuters.
Meanwhile, US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude traded at $94.41/bbl, up $2.93, or 3.2%.
Earlier in the session, Brent touched $99.22/bbl, its strongest mark since 24 July, while WTI reached $94.60/bbl, a peak last seen on 8 June.
The Ansarullah government of Yemen, often called the Houthi after one of its main groups, controls only some 33% of the country but 80% of the Yemeni population. The Saudi are arming and sponsoring its local opposition. There is little chance that it could win in a fight against the Houthi.
The reduction of Saudi output may be the final straw that breaks the oil price’s back.

AfD’s Historic Win Sends Reverberations of ‘Shock’ Through German Establishment
Simplicius
Sep 07, 2026Last night Germany’s much-maligned AfD party won a crushing and historic victory. The victory is already being downplayed by many, owing to the fact that Saxony-Anhalt is technically one of Germany’s smallest and least consequential states. But there is far more to it than sheer numbers, as the win defines a turning point not only in German but European politics, and cements the gradual downfall of the globalist ruling class that has tried desperately for decades to keep populist movements from gaining power, in particular utilizing the “Brandmauer” or “firewall” to suppress the so-called far-right.

Russia’s Overnight Mega-Strike: Kyiv & Odesa Under Fire💥 Lyman Counter-Offensive⚔️ MS 2026.09.08
————THING THAT YOU DID NOT KNOW/THAT NOBODY TOLD YOU
There are many things, direct and indirect, that increase the cost of production of energy. (Tariffs on materials, contract negotiation, delivery, increase of living wages, etc.) Are the energy contracts with the US locked in so that the increase cost of productions cannot be passed on into the sales price?
Copilot explained.
No — most U.S.–Canada energy contracts are not locked‑price agreements.
In almost all cases, cost increases can be passed through, because the contracts were written with pass‑through clauses, index‑based pricing, or market‑linked adjustments. Only a small subset of long‑term hydro or pipeline transport agreements have fixed components, and even those usually contain escalation language.Below is the detailed breakdown, grounded in current evidence.
A 2026 industry report confirms that suppliers are sending invoices above contracted rates because tariff pass‑through provisions were triggered by recent U.S. tariff changes on solar panels, inverters, and storage components. Buyers have limited ability to dispute these increases because the contract language favors suppliers.
Pass-Through Clauses Are Activating Across Industrial Energy Agreements
—————–
—
## 🔍 What the evidence shows
### 1. **Tariff pass‑through clauses are already activating**
Industrial and corporate energy contracts signed between 2019–2023 commonly included **broad pass‑through language**. These clauses allow suppliers to recover government‑imposed cost increases — including tariffs on materials, equipment, and components.A 2026 industry report confirms that suppliers are **sending invoices above contracted rates** because tariff pass‑through provisions were triggered by recent U.S. tariff changes on solar panels, inverters, and storage components. Buyers have **limited ability to dispute** these increases because the contract language favors suppliers. [environmentenergyleader.com](htt ps://www.environmentenergyleader.com/stories/tariff-pass-through-clauses-activating-in-energy-contracts,125781)
**Implication:**
If production costs rise (materials, labor, regulatory compliance), suppliers can legally pass those increases to U.S. buyers unless the contract explicitly forbids it — and most do not.—
### 2. **Cross‑border electricity trade is governed by many contracts, not one fixed-price treaty**
Electricity trade between Canada and the U.S. is structured through a **patchwork of bilateral contracts**, provincial regulators, and transmission agreements. There is **no single locked‑price framework**.USMCA guarantees **zero tariffs** on energy flows, but **does not freeze prices**. Pricing is determined by:
– Provincial utilities (BC Hydro, Hydro‑Québec, Manitoba Hydro)
– U.S. utilities and grid operators
– Market‑indexed wholesale rates
– Negotiated bilateral agreementsThese contracts prioritize **grid reliability**, not price stability. [factually.co](htt ps://factually.co/fact-checks/energy/us-canada-electricity-trade-agreements-terms-940d2f)
**Implication:**
Prices can adjust based on cost inputs, market conditions, and contract clauses.—
### 3. **Carbon pricing changes in Canada directly affect production costs — and can be passed through**
Canada’s industrial carbon pricing (OBPS/TIER) was renegotiated in 2025–2026, setting a rising cost trajectory ($95 → $140 per tonne by 2040). This increases upstream production costs for electricity and fuels.Nothing in USMCA or cross‑border contracts prevents these costs from being reflected in export prices. [climate-decode.com](htt ps://climate-decode.com/insights/canadian-carbon-pricing-series/canadian-carbon-pricing-review-2025-2026)
**Implication:**
Carbon‑related cost increases can flow into U.S. energy prices unless a contract explicitly caps them.—
### 4. **Trade tensions widen the risk window for variable‑rate contracts**
Recent U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods (50% on ~$20B of imports) and Canada’s retaliatory tariffs have pushed electricity into the trade‑war conversation. Ontario even floated restricting electricity exports as leverage. [MPN](htt ps://mpncapitalmarkets.com/electricity-is-now-part-of-the-trade-war-conversation-what-does-that-mean-for-your-energy-bill/)This does **not** mean immediate price spikes, but it **does** mean:
– Variable‑rate or uncapped contracts are exposed.
– Suppliers may invoke pass‑through clauses more aggressively.
– Buyers relying on “stable” cross‑border flows face higher volatility.**Implication:**
Contracts that are not explicitly fixed‑price will move with these shocks.—
## 🧩 So are any contracts actually locked?
### **Fixed‑price components exist, but they are limited:**
– Some long‑term hydro export agreements (e.g., Hydro‑Québec → New England) include **multi‑year fixed blocks**.
– Some pipeline transport agreements have **fixed tolls** with inflation escalators.
– Some utility PPAs include **fixed energy + variable capacity** components.But even these often contain:
– **Fuel cost adjustment clauses**
– **Inflation escalators**
– **Regulatory cost pass‑throughs**
– **Force majeure / change‑in‑law provisions****Meaning:**
Even “fixed” contracts are rarely truly fixed.—
## 🧠 Bottom line
**No — U.S.–Canada energy contracts are not locked in a way that prevents cost increases from being passed through.**
Most contracts include **pass‑through**, **index‑based**, or **change‑in‑law** clauses that allow suppliers to adjust prices when production costs rise.Only a minority of long‑term agreements have fixed pricing, and even those usually contain escalation mechanisms.

Therefore, Canada can increase, without tariffs, the cost of sending energy, fertilizers, etc. to the USYes — Canada can raise the price of energy, fertilizers, and other strategic exports to the U.S., even without tariffs.
And the U.S. would still have to buy them.This is the part most people miss: tariffs are only one mechanism of price increase. Canada has several non‑tariff levers that directly raise export prices, and U.S. buyers cannot avoid them because the goods are strategically essential.
Canada controls the upstream cost structure for:
Electricity generation (hydro, nuclear, natural gas)
Crude oil & natural gas extraction
Potash mining
Uranium mining
Critical minerals (nickel, cobalt, graphite)
Canada can raise costs through:
Carbon pricing increases
Higher labor costs
Higher safety and environmental compliance costs
Higher mining royalties
Higher provincial utility rates
Higher pipeline tolls
Higher rail transport fees
None of these are tariffs.
All of them raise export prices.
And U.S. buyers cannot block these increases, because they originate inside Canada.
The U.S. cannot force Canada to sell at a loss.
Tariffs are irrelevant here.
Canada can raise prices through internal policy alone.

What has happened — very recently — is that Canada has imposed new retaliatory tariffs on U.S. toilet paper and paper products, which may make them more expensive but does not constitute a ban.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced retaliatory tariffs on ~900 U.S. goods after U.S. trade talks collapsed.
Toilet paper and facial tissues are included, facing a 25% tariff, with some related paper products facing up to 50%.
