​ Mike Whitney, The Antisemitism Awareness Act is a wrecking ball designed to pulverize the First Amendment.
While the alleged intention of the bill is to make Jewish students feel safer on campus, the real purpose is to put an end to the anti-genocide demonstrations that have broken out across the country and to prevent the criticism of Israel. The proposed bill invokes a dodgy legal mechanism to derail the protests and to silence Israel’s critics. By using a broad and ambiguous definition of antisemitism, the bill compels university administrators to crackdown on free speech invoking sketchy claims of discrimination. Political analyst Paul Craig Roberts summed it up like this: “if universities …don’t suppress student protests against Israel’s massacre of civilians in Gaza and Lebanon they will lose their accreditation and federal financial support.”​ https://www.unz.com/mwhitney/the-antisemitism-awareness-act-is-the-death-knell-for-free-speech/

Moon of Alabama, Why These New Russian Missiles Are Real Game Changers
​ Around 2008 the Russian Federation used the base design of the RS-24 (Yars) intercontinental missile to develop a more flexible version with a lighter payload. The result was the easier to handle RS-26 missile. While this could and did achieve the range needed to be classified as an intercontinental missile its payload was too small to be really effective.
​ In early 2018 the Russian Federation decided to halt all further development of the RS-26 and invested its money into the more promising hypersonic glide vehicle Avanguard.
​ A few month after Russia had taken the decision to mothball the RS-24 development the U.S. withdrew from the INF-treaty. While the U.S. claimed that certain cruise missile developments in Russia were in breach of the treaty the real reason for the withdrawal was elsewhere:
​ [T]he US need to counter a Chinese arms buildup in the Pacific, including within South China Sea, was another reason for their move to withdraw, because China was not a signatory to the treaty. US officials extending back to the presidency of Barack Obama have noted this…
..In July 2024 NATO announced that the U.S. would, starting in 2026, deploy nuclear capable intermediate range missiles in Germany.
​ This would recreated the dangerous situation Europe had seen before the INF treaty was put into place. A nuclear war within Europe, without the involvement of the continental U.S., will again become a possibility.
​ Russia had to finally react to the threat.​..
..Yesterday’s attack on the Yuzhmash complex in Dnepropetrovsk (video) was the first demonstration of the new Russian capability.
​ The new missiles, named Oreshnik (hazel), is a RS-26 variant with a shorter range and a payload of six (instead of the previously four) multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRV). Each reentry vehicle can carry six sub-munitions. The payload can be inert, destroying the target by the sheer power of its kinetic energy, high-explosive or nuclear.
​ The missile uses solid fuel and is road mobile. It can be fired on short notice from camouflaged positions.
Launched from Russia the missile can reach any target in Europe in less than 20 minutes. On reentry into the atmosphere the warheads of the missile reach hypersonic speeds of 3-4 kilometer per second. There is no air defense system in the world that could stop them.​..
..The results are now in. Europe is defenseless against new Russian weapons which can reach every political and industrial center of Europe with devastating power and with just minutes of notice…
..Should the U.S. and its European lackeys commit further offenses against Russia, more severe Oreshnik ‘tests’, under field conditions and potentially aiming at targets beyond Ukraine, will be pursued:
(President Putin) “We will determine the targets during further tests of our advanced missile systems based on the threats to the security of the Russian Federation. We consider ourselves entitled to use our weapons against military facilities of those countries that allow to use their weapons against our facilities, and in case of an escalation of aggressive actions, we will respond decisively and in mirror-like manner. I recommend that the ruling elites of the countries that are hatching plans to use their military contingents against Russia seriously consider this.​” https://www.moonofalabama.org/2024/11/why-these-new-russian-missiles-are-real-game-changers.html#more

Protecting Evil https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/protecting-evil

Alex Krainer has this starkly revealing story about the “protector” of a vampire-squid corporation, who protects it from human weakness, humans “under pressure”.
Things they forgot to teach us in school about the way the system really works​. Meet Jack, the “Protector,” and his many minions over centuries and nations…
​ If you went to university you may have learned that corporations are persons, that they have shareholders, boards of directors and an executive suite consisting of the CEO, CFO, COO, etc. It was only yesterday (20 Nov. 2024) that I learned that corporations also had “protectors,” or at least some of them do.
​ Meet Jack, the Protector
​ I learned this from Mr. Mikhail Khodorkovsky (MK), former member of “Sembankirshchina,” the gang of seven bankers who ruled Russia during the 1990s and controlled most of its wealth (estimated at around 60% of Russia’s GDP at the time).
​ Mr. Khodorkovsky recently gave an interview and explained the concept of “protector,” the detail which they forgot to teach to us in school:
​ MK: “We made the decision to have a [company] “Protector” in the Trust, this is a person that watches everything that is happening [with the company]. In the Trust, this is a person that watches everything that is happening. He must be completely independent and absolutely trusted, because he only has one function. In the moment he sees that the person holding a controlling stake in the company acts not, acts err.. under pressure let’s say – acts under pressure, then he should open an envelope and hand over this control package to another person who will be written in that package. Our second person was [Leonid] Nevzlin but we never discussed it because no one should know who is second, who is third, who is fourth, who is fifth.”
​ Q: This is in case you get killed?
​ MK: No, in case they kill it’s simpler. It’s for example, if they take someone from the family hostage and start blackmailing with something related to the company. Since the company cannot be jeopardized, in this case the “Protector” must notice that I act under pressure and take away my powers. And that happened when they put me in prison. So they put me in prison, the protector made the decision that from there I can make decisions [only] under pressure and he passed the package to the next person.
​ Q: Can you name who the Protector was?
MK: Yes, of course.​… https://alexkrainer.substack.com/p/things-they-forgot-to-teach-us-in

​ Alastair Crooke, The counter-insurgency is “on” – against Trump’s ‘storm
​ ’“The Deep State whispered to Trump: ‘You cannot withstand the storm’. Trump whispered back: “I am the storm”. The war is on. The Deep State has launched a war of disruption to disable Trump’s ‘storm’. This week’s ATACM strike was but one part to an inter-agency counter-insurgency – a political strike directed at Trump; so too are all the inter-agency false narratives attributed to the Trump camp; and so too, the escalating provocations directed at Iran.​..
​ But Trump understands what’s afoot:
​ “We need peace without delay … The foreign policy establishment keeps trying to pull the world into conflict. The greatest threat to Western civilization today is not Russia. It’s probably more than anything else ourselves… There must be a complete commitment to dismantling the entire Globalist Neo-con establishment that is perpetually dragging us into endless wars, pretending to fight for freedom and democracy abroad while they turn us into a Third World country and a Third World dictatorship right here at home. The State Department, the Defense bureaucracy, the intelligence services and all of the rest need to be completely overhauled and reconstituted. To fire the Deep Staters and put America first – we have to put America First”.​..
​..Instead of policy being aimed directly at a rising foreign adversary threatening U.S. hegemony, it is being transformed into a loaded weapon locked onto America’s domestic war. It is aimed specifically at Trump – to ‘hog tie’ him in, and to divert his attention to wars that he does not want.
​ Logic suggests that Trump would want to keep clear of Netanyahu’s scheming for a war against Iran. But the ‘Israel Firsters’ and the Lobby (as Professor Jeffrey Sachs argues) long have had effective control over Congress and the U.S. military – more than does the President. Explains Sachs:
​ “Because the Zionist Lobby is so powerful, Netanyahu basically has had control over the Pentagon to fight wars on behalf of Israeli extremism. The war in Iraq in 2003 was a Netanyahu War. The attempt to overthrow Bashar al-Assad in Syria, the overthrow of Moamar Gaddafi – All were ‘Netanyahu Wars’”.
​ The important point is that Netanyahu can ‘do what he does’ because it was always planned this way – a plan that has been 50 years in execution. The ‘Israel First’ strategy was fully embraced by Scoop Jackson (a two-times Presidential candidate). And just so the policy could not be rolled back, Scoop insisted on Zionists staffing the State Department, and that neo-cons and Zionists hold the reins at the NSC. That same pattern continues until today.​..
..And so, when Netanyahu speaks, it’s bizarre to me, but it is not Trump who is appointing or naming [those ‘Israel Firsters’ who are part of his Team, but Netanyahu]”, Sachs says…
​..The prospective Republican Senate Leader, John Thune, will play his cards carefully in order to extract maximum damage. He has leverage by trying to connect Trump to Netanyahu’s carnage in the region.
​ Thune, whilst announcing huge quantities of weapons for Israel, said:
​ “To Our Allies in Israel, and to the Jewish People Around the world, my message to you is this: Reinforcements are on the way. In six weeks, Republicans will reclaim the Senate Majority, and we will make clear that the United States Congress stands squarely In Israel’s Corner”.
​ Trump will need to play his cards carefully, too. Since, for his purposes, the absolute priority are his two domestic wars: First, “dismantling the entire Globalist Neocon Establishment”, and secondly, ending the out-of-control government expenditure that has bloated the Deep State boondoggle and turned the U.S. real economy into a shadow of its former self.​..
​..The other putative war – Iran – is the more dangerous to Trump. Jewish political influence and the Lobby has taken the U.S. into multiple disastrous wars before. And now, Netanyahu desperately needs a war and he is not alone. Much of Israel is clamouring for war that would end ‘all the fronts’ facing it. There is a profound conviction in this prospect as the solution and the ‘Great Victory’ that Netanyahu and Israel so desperately need.​..
​..There is an unshakeable certitude that it must be so. ‘We are strong, and Iran is weak’.
Who will roll-back the Israel Firsters? They have the momentum and the fervour. A war against Iran will fare badly for Israel and the U.S.​ https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/11/22/the-counter-insurgency-is-on-against-trump-storm/

​ Musk, Ramaswamy Reveal DOGE Blueprint To Cut Government Waste
​The pair writes that “Our nation was founded on the basic idea that the people we elect run the government. That isn’t how America functions today. Most legal edicts aren’t laws enacted by Congress but “rules and regulations” promulgated by unelected bureaucrats—tens of thousands of them each year.”
​ They call government bloat “antidemocratic and antithetical to the Founders’ vision,’ as it “imposes massive direct and indirect costs on taxpayers.”
​ President Trump has asked the two of us to lead a newly formed Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, to cut the federal government down to size. The entrenched and ever-growing bureaucracy represents an existential threat to our republic, and politicians have abetted it for too long. That’s why we’re doing things differently. We are entrepreneurs, not politicians. We will serve as outside volunteers, not federal officials or employees. Unlike government commissions or advisory committees, we won’t just write reports or cut ribbons. We’ll cut costs.​ https://www.zerohedge.com/political/musk-ramaswamy-reveal-doge-blueprint-cut-government-waste

The payment agreement dated Nov. 19 comes after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in June 2023 in favor of Lorie Smith, who said Colorado’s law requiring her to create websites to celebrate same-sex weddings infringed on her constitutional rights.

Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote for the majority that Colorado tried to compel “an individual to speak in ways that align with its views but defy her conscience about a matter of major significance.”

“The First Amendment’s protections … belong to all, including to speakers whose motives others may find misinformed or offensive,” he wrote.

Smith complained she was being singled out by the Colorado Civil Rights Commission because her religious faith does not support nontraditional marriage.

​The Armed Forces of Ukraine have launched what is reported to be twelve (12) “Storm Shadow” cruise missiles, into Kursk, Russia. But video below records FOURTEEN (14) explosions…

​ Given the proximity of the sanatorium, it is highly likely that it was used by the command of the Russian forces in the Kursk region. And considering that North Korean troops are also operating there, it is possible that North Korean generals were present.”
“Such a facility justifies the use of a significant number of Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles.

New Attorney General Matt Gaetz says what everyone else is too afraid to say, The Ukraine War is “to launder money through”

Matt Gaetz “I think that the reason we are as involved in Ukraine as we are is because Afghanistan wound down. If we still had Afghanistan to launder money through, there probably wouldn’t be the need for this type of excessive involvement in Ukraine. But I think we can look at Afghanistan and we can look at what’s going on here and say, what a lot of these defense contractors are pushing toward is how to have an extended kind of low yield war.

Like if there’s a way to stretch this thing out, turn it into a 20, 30 year kind of thing where there’s a whole lot of money moving around and unaccountable pots and a lot of weapons getting bought and then all man the stockpiles well we got to spend more money to reload those”

​Simplicius, Operation ‘Dark Winter’ Resumes as Massive Russian Strikes Again Cripple Ukrainian Power Grid
​ “America is not going to save Ukraine. Maybe we need Mr. Trump — brazen and unscrupulous — to finally say so out loud and act accordingly.​”
​ The Politico article strikes the same note, essentially arguing that Trump will be doing the West a huge favor by saving them from their own self-wrought unwinnable catastrophe. According to them, Kiev secretly knows that Trump is a better option than Harris because Trump is more likely to get a deal ‘favorable to Ukraine’ from Putin, whereas Harris and co. would have just prolonged the slaughter indefinitely, keeping to this waffling noncommittal track.
​ According to the author, everyone will get a ready excuse…​ After all, if he’s successful, European leaders and American hawks will have an alibi, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will have cover from likely angry front-line Ukrainian soldiers. They’ll all blame him for the broken promises, for the loss of the Donbas and Crimea’s continued annexation — because that’s what it will take to ink a deal.​..
​..Trump takes office in two months and could presumably instantly roll-back Biden’s ‘deep strikes’ authorization, completely negating any effect by limiting their use to a tiny irrelevant time window.
​ The other thing is that Europe continues to crumble, with Macron having no favor at home, and Germany’s government now lacking a majority, with Scholz on the way out. Ukraine’s future vis-a-vis the mythical ‘European solidarity’ is on quite shaky grounds. Couple this with Russia’s now-resumed ‘Dark Winter’ campaign, and the next few months could be extremely rocky for Ukraine, particularly given the fact that Russia’s advances and territorial captures continue accelerating.
​ The new strikes authorization is presumably meant to tide Ukrainian societal morale over for a few months, with perhaps some kind of flashy ‘hit’ somewhere, that will be oversold as “devastating” to Russia, but it’s questionable how much mileage they can get even out of that anymore.​ https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/operation-dark-winter-resumes-as

Many commentators cannot understand why Trump won the elections despite a robust economy…
Anyone who has delved into the supposedly solid headline figures can clearly see the real weakness of the U.S. economy. An unsustainable increase in government spending and federal debt bloated the official GDP, making gross domestic income significantly weaker than headline GDP. Additionally, the Conference Board and University of Michigan consumer confidence readings, well below 2019 and 2021 levels, indicated a stagnant economy. Significant negative revisions and concerning elements were evident in the job reports. The entire improvement of the labor force since 2021 came from foreign workers, and the employment-to-population and labor force participation ratios remained significantly below 2019 levels. Real wages were stagnant in the past four years using official figures. Investment was weak, and the Russell 2000 index, which includes the top small-cap companies generating most of their business in the US, reflected an insignificant 1.8% sales growth and no real earnings growth between 2021 and November 2024…

Moon of Alabama, To Prolong The War In Ukraine U.S. Allows ATACMS Use On Russia
President Joe Biden, or whoever is thinking for him, is doing his best to make peace in Ukraine less likely:
Putin has warned that Moscow could provide long-range weapons to others to strike Western targets if NATO allies allow Ukraine to use their arms to attack Russian territory.​..
​..The ATACMS missiles Ukraine had so far been allowed to fire, mostly against Crimea, have been carriers of cluster ammunition with a reach of some 160 kilometer.
​ We do not know yet if the new authorized use for ATACMS munition on targets within Russia is only the relevant for cluster ammunition missile type or for high explosive ATACMS missiles with a reach of 300 kilometer.
​ However, the Russian President Vladimir Putin has correctly pointed out that ANY use of ATACMS requires the involvement of NATO (U.S/UK) assets for acquiring the targeting data and for pla​nning and programming the missile’s mission.​ https://www.moonofalabama.org/2024/11/us-to-allow-atacms-use-on-russia-to-prolong-war-in-ukraine.html#more

​Is Donald Trump Jr. going to be the “Peace Envoy”? White House Will Get “WW3 Going Before My Father Has Chance To Create Peace”, Don Jr Warns
​ The Kremlin has issued an initial response to widespread reports in US media saying that the Biden administration will now allow Ukraine to target Russia with US-supplied long-range missiles. Kremlin top spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that this would unleash a “significant new round of escalation” in the war if it proves true, but he also cautioned that Moscow authorities had yet to see official confirmation directly from the White House.
​ “If such a decision has indeed been formulated and communicated to the Kyiv regime, it marks a significant escalation and a fundamentally new stage in terms of U.S. involvement in this conflict,” Peskov said…​
..Some US political figures reacted in similar horror and alarm, also warning of the risks for the outbreak of World War 3 with such a decision. Donald Trump Jr. sees this as an ultra-dangerous ploy by the lame-duck Biden administration to escalate the war just prior to Trump taking office.
​ “The Military Industrial Complex seems to want to make sure they get World War 3 going before my father has a chance to create peace and save lives,” he said on X Sunday, immediately after reports of the serious policy shift emerged.
​ And House Representative Thomas Massie has ripped Biden for once again circumventing Congress on matters of war, calling the decision an “unconstitutional Act of War that endangers the lives of all US citizens.”​ https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/white-house-will-get-ww3-going-my-father-has-chance-create-peace-don-jr-warns

​ Gilbert Doctorow again, North Korean troops in Kursk: pretext for American escalation or cause?
​ In the past couple of weeks, there have been numerous articles in The New York Times and other mainstream disseminators of the CIA and White House propaganda lines regarding an alleged presence of North Korean troops in Russia to fight in Kursk against the Ukrainian forces there…
..Those same articles told us that the United States government considered the introduction of North Korean troops into the battle to represent a big escalation in the war by the Kremlin…
..US news sources tell us this morning that Washington has insisted that Kiev strike with ATACMS only targets within the Kursk oblast, supporting the notion that the objective is strictly a proportional tit-for-tat over the North Korean presence there. Indeed, if the Russians’ version of how such weapons are used, namely that all preparation and targeting is done by U.S. soldiers or U.S. military contractors, whatever strikes on Russia using ATACMS Kiev may claim, real control rests with Americans so they know very well what will be hit and where.
​ Let us put aside for the moment that the limitation on geography for attack is only temporary and will be expanded in the near future whenever Washington is ready to up the ante. Let us be explicit about what attacking the Kursk region means.
​ There are only two possible types of targets in Kursk oblast worthy of discussion. One is troop concentrations of Russians and North Koreans performing the mopping up operation in Kursk. ATACMS strikes there probably will not initially force the Russians to respond. The second is the nuclear power plant in the region which was believed to be the prize initially sought by Kiev when it began its incursion.
​ Let us remember that the Kursk nuclear power plant is an early type plant which has no protective concrete dome over it to contain radioactive leaks and to prevent missile strikes from disabling it. Accordingly, an ATACMS strike on the plant will likely create a big, even devastating leak of radioactive particles across the region, meaning predominantly on Russian territory. Such an eventuality would force the hand of Putin to respond with a nuclear attack, likely on the Continental United States…
​..I am obliged to say what significance I see in the entry of North Korean soldiers on Russian Federation territory and possibly their deployment in Kursk.
​ I agree with Washington that this represents an important escalation by the Russians. But it has nothing to do with the war in and about Ukraine. It is a Russian response to U.S. actions in the Far East, where it is mobilizing South Korea and Japan against China in its containment policy there, against North Korea to apply maximum threats against Pyongyang, and ….against Russia in its containment policy on the RF everywhere.
​ By exercising its rights under the recently ratified mutual defense treaty with North Korea and inviting Pyongyang to move a substantial contingent of fighting men to the Western border of the Russian Federation, Moscow is serving notice on Washington that its own ‘sphere of influence,’ if I may paraphrase Barack Obama in his widely quoted insult to Putin about his country’s place in the world, extends to many, many areas, as should be expected from the world’s largest country accounting for 12 percent of the world’s land mass.​ https://gilbertdoctorow.substack.com/p/north-korean-troops-in-kursk-pretext

​ John Leake, On Trump Derangement Syndrome, The anthropology and psychology of an obsession.
During the first presidency of Donald J. Trump this syndrome became so virulent that it created a strangely binary posture in public affairs. If Trump expressed even mild enthusiasm for a policy, person, or thing, his opposition automatically rejected it. To be sure, Trump often threw gasoline on the fire with his bombastic personal style and occasional buffoonery. The qualities that had once been viewed as showman’s schtick were widely deemed unacceptable in a US President. The court jester had become king, and it drove the lords and ladies at court mad.
​ As anthropologists and psychologists have long understood, humans are hyper social and tribal. Stanford Professor Rene Girard has pointed out that during times of stress and rivalry, we are inclined to ascribe blame not to a complex state of affairs, but to a particular person or group. Persistent problems and misfortunes build up negative psychic energy, which generates a collective yearning to destroy the person or persons on whom the blame is heaped. This process of scapegoating is amplified by what Professor Girard called mimesis—that is, imitation—the tendency to embrace an opinion or sentiment because everyone in a preferred group is embracing it. In trying to make sense of the world, we often look to those around us for cues to guide us in our perceptions and opinions.​ https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/on-trump-derangement-syndrome

​ Gilbert Doctorow, Joe Biden – one foot in the grave and he wants to take the rest of us with him
​ This evening’s edition of ‘News of the Week’ on Russian state television carried the ‘breaking news’ that President Biden has just given permission to Ukraine to use American ATACMS medium range ground launched missiles to attack deep within the Russian Federation. The same news also appears on the latest online edition of The New York Times….
..Regrettably, we are witnessing a replay of what occurred the first time Donald Trump was elected, back in November 2016. The reaction of the Obama administration was to use the couple of months before handover of power to sabotage the most salient aspect of his intended foreign policy initiative, to normalize relations with Russia…
​..Just over two months ago, this very question of allowing Kiev to fire missiles using US technology on strikes deep inside the Russian Federation had been vetoed by Biden when it was proposed to him by visiting UK Prime Minister Starmer. That refusal followed by a day a direct threat from Vladimir Putin that the use by Kiev of medium range missiles supplied by nuclear powers in the West for such attacks on Russia would make the providers of those missiles co-belligerents. We said then that the Pentagon had prevailed upon the President to take the threat seriously and to decline to give his permission to the British, so that Starmer went home empty-handed.
​ What has happened to change the thinking in the Oval Office? There can be no doubt that Donald Trump’s victory on 5 November and the clear indications that he will cut American aid to Ukraine and push for a negotiated settlement of the war on terms acceptable to Moscow has enraged the Neocons who hold the Collective Biden in their thrall. The flip-flop on use of such missiles is a testament to the utter irresponsibility of this administration. It calls for an urgent move in Congress to stop an action that is tantamount to a declaration of war on Russia.​ https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2024/11/17/joe-biden-one-foot-in-the-grave-and-he-wants-to-take-the-rest-of-us-with-him/​

Creating Emergencies To Manage https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/creating-emergencies-to-manage

I will attend a 6 day silent-meditation retreat starting tomorrow, 11/19/24 at midday, so I will probably not post to the blog for the rest of this week.
The retreat concludes Sunday 11/24/24, but I will certainly be behind on news at that point. If we enter nuclear war I might be oblivious to that development.

It might seem odd to open with another assessment of peak-energy-resources when there is another, potentially nuclear, escalation in the US/NATO proxy-war against Russia, in Ukraine, but it is an important inflexion point in global economy, therefore global finance, and therefore global-war-emergencies to keep established elites in power through a vast financial reset. Many of us believe that it is the time to change the staffing at the imperial court, and to relinquish imperialism altogether…

Our global economy is primarily powered by middle-distillates of Diesel fuel and bunker fuel (for shipping), which are about 35% of what comes out of a barrel of oil when it is fractionated. There is also asphalt for roads, gasoline for cars and kerosine for jet fuel, but Diesel and bunker fuel are critical, especially diesel for all heavy machinery, big trucks and trains. This is what critically supports modern industrial economy. There is no substitute. There can be no real substitutes overall. More energy intensive processes can “crack” Diesel out of heavy tar sands from Canada, and Venezuelan heavy crude, but these are already extremely energy intensive to produce, with EROI of 3:1 or so, when modern industrial economy needs an aggregate EROI of above 12:1 in order to persist at its current level of complexity.

Oil Man Art Berman, This Is How Oil Ends (Our current oil production plateau won’t likely persist past 2030, if that)
The era of cheap oil ended two decades ago, when the average price jumped from $35 in the 1990s to over $90 since 2000.
​ The peak oil movement understood that part but missed how long debt could delay the inevitable decline in oil use. It’s still uncertain whether this will play out as peak oil, peak plateau, or peak demand.​ One thing, however, is certain: the future that peak oil warned about 20 years ago is here. And no matter how it unfolds, economic growth is heading for a serious reckoning.
It looked like the world might be running out of affordable oil during the first 15 years of this century. Prices hit $190 per barrel in 2008, adjusted for today’s dollars, and averaged nearly $150 from 2011 to late 2014 (Figure 1). Then the shale plays came online, and to many, peak oil seemed like a false alarm.​ https://www.artberman.com/blog/this-is-how-oil-ends/

​ Gail Tverberg point out that we may be in post-peak-affordable-uranium, too, as we have been using up decades of highly-enriched nuclear-warhead uranium in our reactors for 20 years. Nuclear electricity generation has hidden problems; don’t expect advanced modular units to solve them.
What I see is that the relatively “flat” overall nuclear electricity production has been accomplished, to a significant extent, by the “Advanced Economies, ex US” dropping back in their use of nuclear electricity at close to the same time the “Later Entrants” have rapidly been increasing their use of nuclear electricity. The Later Entrants can make goods for sale in international markets much more cheaply than the Advanced Economies, ex US through their efficient use of cheap energy (often from coal) and their lower wages. This more efficient approach gives the Later Entrants an “edge” in buying the uranium that is available.
​ I expect to see more of this pattern of squeezing out in the future. In fact, new and recently re-opened nuclear plants will need to compete existing nuclear generation units for available uranium.
​ Given the way squeezing out takes place, very few people will realize that there is a problem with uranium fuel. It will just be that leaders of some parts of the world, as well as some parts of the US, will start emphasizing stories about how dangerous nuclear energy is. Instead of nuclear, they will emphasize electricity generation from wind and solar and allow these approaches to “go first” when they are available. The result will be wholesale electricity prices that will be far too low for nuclear power plants, much of the time. It will be these low wholesale electricity prices that push nuclear power out.
​ Thus, unless there truly are breakthroughs in recycling spent fuels, or in uranium mining, electricity generation using nuclear energy may gradually slip away from many parts of the world currently using it.​ https://ourfiniteworld.com/2024/11/11/nuclear-electricity-generation-has-hidden-problems-dont-expect-advanced-modular-units-to-solve-them/

​ Now I want to repeat what Gostin said about the WHO’s negotiation of the IHR amendments on June 1, the final day of the World Health Assembly. Recall that the diplomats had been unable to make a deal. Below is as close to verbatim as I could make it, taking notes as fast as possible while Mr. Gostin spoke:
​ “The IHR negotiations were collapsing. We thought they would collapse. Then US HHS Secretary Becerra came into the room and said the USA would be walking away from this if we didn’t adopt it now, on the very last day. And then they did.”
​ So that’s how it happened. It should have failed. But the big bully came in and said he was taking his toys and going home if everybody didn’t cooperate. Reminds me of VP Biden threatening Ukraine’s former PM that if the prosecutor investigating Burisma (where Hunter was on the Board) wasn’t fired in a couple of hours, Biden would be taking his billion dollar deal home.
​ We now have IHR amendments that, while watered down, are still more intrusive than we like. President Trump will be able to reject them, hopefully along with the WHO and Pandemic Treaty negotiations. The January 2022 US proposal on the earlier IHR amendments was to give nations only 6 months to reject new amendments. Had the US been able to get that through (it couldn’t), then by the time Trump took office it would have been too late to reject them.​ https://merylnass.substack.com/p/it-turns-out-that-the-whos-international

Pentagon ‘Shocked’ By Houthi Arsenal, Sophistication Is ‘Getting Scary’
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment Bill LaPlante spoke at an event hosted by Axios on Wednesday, where he said that Houthis are displaying and deploying advanced weaponry, especially missiles that “can do things that are just amazing.”
​ He described that Houthis “are getting scary” in terms of their capability on display for more than a year in the Red Sea, where they’ve gone to war against Israeli and international shipping.
​ “I’m an engineer and a physicist, and I’ve been around missiles my whole career,” LaPlante said before the summit, called the “Future of Defense” in Washington, DC.
“What I’ve seen of what the Houthis have done in the last six months is something that — I’m just shocked.”​ https://www.zerohedge.com/military/pentagon-shocked-houthi-arsenal-sophistication-getting-scary

The Carrier USS Abraham Lincoln might be limping to San Diego to get repaired after being hit. Houthis Attack Two U.S. Destroyers Leaving the Red Sea, Pentagon Says
Houthi forces attacked two American destroyers with drones and missiles as the ships transited the Bab el-Mandeb Strait entering the Gulf of Aden on Monday, a Pentagon spokesman said today.
The Houthis launched at least eight one-way uncrewed aerial systems, five anti-ship ballistic missiles and three anti-ship cruise missiles at USS Spruance (DDG-111) and USS Stockdale (DDG-106), which engaged all the projectiles, Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder told reporters on Tuesday. U.S. Central Command has not yet issued a statement.
There were no injuries or damage to the two destroyers…
..Houthi spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Sare’e claimed the attack on the two destroyers was successful in a post on social media site X. Sare’e also said the Houthis attacked USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) in the Arabian Sea. Ryder said was not aware of any attacks against the aircraft carrier. https://news.usni.org/2024/11/12/houthis-attack-two-u-s-destroyers-leaving-the-red-sea-pentagon-says

​ Alastair Crooke, There are no “Easy Wars” left to fight, but do not mistake the longing for one
​ Israelis, as a whole, are exhibiting a rosy assurance that they can harness Trump, if not to the full annexation of the Occupied Territories (Trump in his first term did not support such annexation), but rather, to ensnare him into a war on Iran. Many (even most) Israelis are raring for war on Iran and an aggrandisement of their territory (devoid of Arabs). They are believing the puffery that Iran ‘lies naked’, staggeringly vulnerable, before a U.S. and Israeli military strike.
​ Trump’s Team nominations, so far, reveal a foreign policy squad of fierce supporters of Israel and of passionate hostility to Iran. The Israeli media term it a ‘dream team’ for Netanyahu. It certainly looks that way.
​ The Israel Lobby could not have asked for more. They have got it. And with the new CIA chief, they get a known ultra China hawk as a bonus.
​ But in the domestic sphere the tone is precisely the converse: The key nomination for ‘cleaning the stables’ is Matt Gaetz as Attorney General; he is a real “bomb thrower”. And for the Intelligence clean-up, Tulsi Gabbard is appointed as Director of National Intelligence. All intelligence agencies will report to her, and she will be responsible for the President’s Daily briefing. The intel assessments may thus begin to reflect something closer to reality.
​ The deep Inter-Agency structure has reason to be very afraid; they are panicking – especially over Gaetz.​..
​..The old nemesis that paralysed his first term again faces Trump. Then, during the Ukraine impeachment process, one witness (Vindman), when asked why he would not defer to the President’s explicit instructions, replied that whilst Trump has his view on Ukraine policy, that stance did NOT align with that of the ‘Inter-Agency’ agreed position. In plain language, Vindman denied that a U.S. president has agency in foreign policy formulation.
​ In short, the ‘Inter-Agency structure’ was signalling to Trump that military support for Ukraine must continue.
​ When the Washington Post published their detailed story of a Trump-Putin phone call – that the Kremlin emphatically states never happened – the deep structures of policy were simply telling Trump that it would be they who determine what the shape of the U.S. ‘solution’ for Ukraine would be.
​ Similarly, when Netanyahu boasts to have spoken to Trump and that Trump “shares” his views regarding Iran, Trump was being indirectly instructed what his policy towards Iran needs to be. All the (false) rumours about appointments to his Team too, were but the interagency signalling their choices for his key posts.​..
..So, is the packing of his Administration with ‘Israel Firsters’ an indication that Trump is edging toward a ‘Realist’s Faustian pact’ to destroy Iran in order to cripple China’s energy supply source (90% from Iran), and thus weaken China? – Two birds with one stone, so to speak? …
..The U.S. public has not internalized the costs of the U.S. losing its position as the world superpower. The U.S. must therefore engage globally with a presence—military, diplomatic, and economic—to preserve influence worldwide.
​ Indeed, as one respected commentator has noted, the ‘Empire at all Costs’ cult (i.e. the RAND Organisation zeitgeist) is now “more desperate than ever to find a war it can fight to restore its fortunes and prestige”.
​ And China would be altogether a different proposition for a demonstrative act of destruction in order “to preserve U.S. influence worldwide” – for the U.S. is “not prepared” for serious conflict with its peer adversaries: Russia or China, RAND says.​..
..The point that the commentator above makes is that there are no ‘easy wars’ left to fight. And that the reality (brutally outlined by RAND) is that the U.S. can choose one – and only one war to fight. Trump may not want any war, but the Lobby grandees – all supporters of Israel, if not active Zionists supporting the displacement of Palestinians – want war. And they believe they can get one.
​ Put starkly and plainly: Has Trump thought this through?​ https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/11/15/there-are-no-easy-wars-left-fight-but-not-mistake-longing-for-one/

​ Why does the West condone and forget Israel’s child abuse?
​ The crime of child abuse is considered probably the most heinous and “impossible to forgive” by nearly nine out 10 British adults — more than murder and rape — according to a poll conducted by ComRes in 2019. So, try as I might, I simply cannot understand why the killing of at least 11,000 children is not headline news anywhere in the so-called civilised world with calls for investigations and criminal trials on every news bulletin.

​ Who ‘jammed’ the F-35 over Iran? The S-300 or the Pentagon?​
On October 25 and 26, 2024, Israel conducted a series of airstrikes against key Iranian military sites in retaliation for a large-scale missile escalation initiated by Tehran. The targets of the strikes included missile systems, infrastructure, and command posts, all deemed strategically significant for Iran’s military operations. This action followed the launch of more than 200 ballistic missiles by Iran aimed at Israel, further intensifying the tensions between the two nations and deepening their conflict…​
..Despite the scale and intensity of Israel’s airstrikes, the effects were far less impactful than initially anticipated. The damage inflicted on the Iranian military infrastructure was minimal, raising suspicions about the effectiveness of the Israeli attack. Many analysts were puzzled by the relatively restrained outcome of the operation, given that Israeli forces reportedly deployed around 100 advanced fighter jets…
​..According to reports from Defense Arabic, Israeli intelligence has pointed to Iran’s air defense capabilities as the key reason for the restricted effect of the airstrikes on October 25 and 26. Specifically, it is suggested that Iran’s air defense systems successfully thwarted the attack launched by Israeli fighter jets, particularly the advanced F-35 Adir aircraft…
..According to Defense Arabic, reports suggest that Israeli F-35s were “jammed” by Iranian air defense radars while flying over Iraqi airspace, far from their intended targets in Iran. These sources claim that, at this point, the Israeli jets were still hundreds of kilometers away from the Iranian border. The ability of Iran’s air defense systems to detect the Israeli jets at such a distance was an unexpected development for Israeli military planners.
​ Israeli intelligence sources have indicated that Russian and Iranian air defense systems are capable of targeting Israeli jets at long ranges, potentially intercepting them well before they enter Iranian airspace. This would allow Iran to counter Israeli operations far from its own borders.
​ Reports from Defense Arabic highlight that the Israeli jets may have been hundreds of miles away from their primary targets in Iran, coming close to the maximum range of the air-launched ballistic missiles [ALBM] such as the “Rock” and “Blue Sparrow.”​ https://bulgarianmilitary.com/2024/11/14/who-jammed-the-f-35-over-iran-the-s-300-or-the-pentagon/

Gabbard is well positioned to become the most influential advisor to President Trump regarding the critical foreign policy and national security problems that will be faced by his administration.

​ Tulsi Gabbard Right Pick to Shake-Up US Spy Agiencies – CIA Veteran
​ The CIA veteran said much of the dissent comes from inside the ‘intelligence community’, including active officers and former staff of organizations like the CIA and NSA.
Objections to Gabbard’s nomination have focused on her lack of intelligence experience, claiming she will “be unable to perceive problems among an unruly 18-member intelligence community,” the pundit said.
​ But Giraldi countered that she was “smart, experienced and capable enough to gather her own staff around her that will guide her way through the shoals of Washington DC.”​ “To my mind, she is an excellent choice, coming from outside of the intelligence community ‘club,’ and could be an effective and ethical DNI,” he added.
The former CIA officer noted that Gabbard is viewed as a “peace candidate” for her opposition to endless overseas wars, the US military occupation of parts of Syria and the demonization of China. But she is also known for her support for Israel, currently waging a war against the Palestinian territory of Gaza.
​ “It is likely that Trump appointed her to shake up the intel community, which is regarded by many as the black heart of the deep state,” Giraldi said. “She will, of course, be both helped and handicapped by being provided with plenty of ‘direction’ by a president who is fundamentally ignorant of foreign policy and national security issues.”​ https://sputnikglobe.com/20241115/tulsi-gabbard-right-pick-to-shake-up-us-spy-agiencies–cia-veteran-1120898424.html

Kyle Young argues: There Will Be No Pandemic For Four Years
​ Last week I pointed out that Trump’s transition team cochair, Howard Lutnik, was heavily invested in carbon credits through his business Cantor Fitzgerald, and that we could expect a Trump presidency that favors that misguided program. What I didn’t mention was that in an interview with Kiatlan Collins, Lutnik said Trump would not be appointing RFK Jr, to run HHS. Apparently that set off some major grumbling with Trump and RFK Jr. As we all now know, Trump ignored Lutnik and tapped RFK Jr. to head-up HHS…​
..If RFK Jr. gets confirmed by the senate, if Trump allows him to do what he wants to do and if he follows through with his promises, he’ll be in a position to put an end to the collusion that has existed between government agencies and Big Pharma, collusion that led to scams like the covid plandemic. This will not be a cakewalk. The hooks the medical and military industrial complexes have into the system are firmly anchored. We can expect a big battle in the Senate for RFK’s confirmation to head up HHS. Even if he does get confirmed, the powers that shouldn’t be will throw everything they have at him while he holds that position…
..Trump can be expected to once again discontinue the US role as the largest funder of the WHO. With Bill Gates now facing legal battles from several quarters regarding his medical crimes, his position as the second largest WHO funder comes into question. Given that US taxpayer funding for organizations like the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, GAVI and other Gates NGO’s comes under the direction of HHS, and given the scathing things RFK Jr had to say about Gates in his book about Fauci, it’s doubtful he’ll authorize any further funding of any Gates affiliated organizations. That might be enough to sufficiently cripple the WHO and prevent it from serving as the headquarters for another world-wide medical pandemic coup d’état over the next four years…
..I can’t stress enough the outsized roles these Acts have played in allowing the deep state to function illegally, outside of Constitutional jurisdiction. Covidcon provides the perfect example. Taken as a whole, these Acts paved the way for the medical/military industrial complex to enact a world-wide coup d’état with covid…
​..These Acts need to be brought forward into the consciousness of the US public. With RFK Jr. running HHS there may never be a better time discuss how to dismantle them. If they don’t get dismantled, the next president could use them to impose another coup…
..The Prep Act played a critically important role in allowing the deep state to enact covidcon. It was signed into law by president Bush Jr. in 2005. The Prep Act gives the head of HHS the authority to bypass congress and make law by declaring a pandemic…
​..In April of 2020 Trump signed an update to the PREP Act which provided liability immunity to makers of “covid countermeasures”. As I’ve explained before, there were never any covid “vaccines”, they were countermeasures, which is a military term applied to interventions used in warfare to counteract poisoning from biological weapons.
​ The mind warp in which these psychopaths function goes something like this: To understand how to make a countermeasure one needs to make the bioweapon. This is how DARPA, the CDC (a uniformed agency) and other agencies got into the bioweapon business. As the previous links show, this is why in mid 2021 I began calling the covid jabs bioweapons…
..As I also pointed out back in 2021, the covid mRNA technology was developed by DARPA, the research wing of the DoD. From the get-go, covid was a military operation, which explains why the military was in charge of distributing the jabs…
..A key element the pharma cartels needed to impose their profitable sick-care and eugenics agenda upon the US was the National Childhood Protection Act. In 1986 Ronald Reagan signed this deadly law into effect. Since then this Act has been responsible for the injury and deaths of millions of US children…
..Because so very few people understand this history, few understand what’s about to occur. Here’s what it boils down to. If he’s approved by the Senate, RFK Jr. will hold the premier position (head of HHS) that was designed by the deep state to be held by a big pharma industry insider. This is why I think RFK’s Senate confirmation will be an epic battle for the ages.
​ If he gets confirmed, it seems certain he’ll not be declaring any pandemics.​ https://secularheretic.substack.com/p/there-will-be-no-pandemics-for-four

Jim Rickards, Your Trump Investment Guide (He does not mention severe turbulence, but it is implied…)
Trump will pursue a twenty-first-century version of what was originally known as the American System.
The American System was invented in 1790 by Alexander Hamilton and supported by a succession of U.S. presidents and leading political figures including George Washington, Henry Clay, John Quincy Adams, Abraham Lincoln, William McKinley, Calvin Coolidge, and Dwight Eisenhower…
..The American System relied on the following policies:
High tariffs to support manufacturing and high-paying jobs
Infrastructure investment (public and private) to support productivity
A strong army and navy to protect the U.S. but not to fight foreign wars
A central bank with limited powers to provide liquidity to commerce
To the extent there was government spending, it was for productive projects such as canal and road building and later to support railroads. To the extent that early central banks existed, they were for secure lending to sound entities (including the U.S. government) and not for purposes such as printing money, fixing interest rates or “stimulus.” The entire program could be summarized as sound money, smart investment and a strong military in the service of high-paying American jobs.
The American System prevailed from 1790 to 1962 with occasional periods of agrarian ascendency and some disruptions such as the Civil War…
..Foreign companies will be free to sell goods to Americans but only if they are manufactured in the U.S. This will lead to a wave of inbound investment in the U.S., a reduction in U.S. trade deficits, a stronger dollar (as the world demands dollars to invest here), and higher wages for U.S. workers. Higher wages will raise real incomes, stimulate consumption, decrease income inequality and expand the tax base to help reduce deficits without raising tax rates.
​ A Trump Portfolio
Sectors that will benefit from the return of the American System include:
Oil and natural gas drilling, production, and refining. This sector will benefit from Trump’s “drill, baby, drill” policies​.​..
Mining (gold, silver, copper, lithium). Industrial metals will be in increased demand related to the expansion of U.S. manufacturing.​..
Defense and National Security. This will especially benefit defense and intelligence contractors with extensive R&D programs. The U.S. does not need more obsolete weapons​…
Automobile manufacturing. Foreign manufacturers will face huge tariffs. This will include Mexican manufacturers that are fronts for China.​..
Cryptocurrency plays. Trump will ease SEC and other regulatory constraints on cryptocurrency mining, distribution and use.
Banking and finance. As the economy grows, banks profit as intermediaries without the need for high leverage and high risk.
Trucking and airlines. These sectors will benefit from lower prices for refined products such as diesel and aviation fuel (basically kerosene).
​ Sectors that will underperform in a new Trump administration will be Big Pharma and Big Agriculture under the motto of Make America Healthy Again.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. will lead this effort. Elon Musk will also lead an effort at government efficiency, which will hurt the profits of government contractors in sectors such as health care, education, and the Green New Scam (including EVs, and windmill manufacturers). DEI initiatives will wither and die. Portfolios that invest heavily in China or use ESG metrics will underperform.​ https://dailyreckoning.com/your-trump-investment-guide/
