Another of Trump's Murderous distractions as Zion's mercenary.

QuoteAs long as mankind shall continue to bestow more liberal applause on their destroyers than on their benefactors, the thirst of military glory will ever be the vice of the most exalted characters.

Trump is in trouble and needs to distract America.  He causes trouble to prevent trouble for himself.

Dying empires rely on kinetic power when soft power wanes. The F-22s are sent because the U.S. can no longer simply "convince" the region by diplomacy or trade.   Trump has burned too many bridges to be anything more than a bully now.

The "Imperial Center" is fractured by a record $35 trillion debt because the rich do not pay taxes.  Their tax break breaks America.  Trump's answer to put a sales tax on average Americans is gutted by the Supreme Court's 6–3 ruling striking down the tariff sales tax.  Trump's putrid moral decay is exposed by 3 million pages of Epstein files which stink to high heaven.  The domestic dissatisfaction sparked by ICE's fatal shootings of white citizens Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis has put a burr under many a butt.  Trumps gutted economy with job stagnation leaves millions without pride or prospects. 

To solve address these issues our illustrious orange leader looks outward.  Deploying 12 F-22 stealth jets to Israel to manufacture high-stakes military theater in the Middle East to force a domestic kumbaya that Trump can no longer get with his typical, but effective, simple bombastic bullshit.

"If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer."

And aimless wandering results.  Impotent opposition.

I watched the 1st 5 min of Trumpolini and puked.  This was much better.

Peak crude oil did not happen in 2018. But we are still running out of time

What matters is that oil is finite, and is showing signs of being on the verge of decline since conventional oil entered a plateau in 2005 and unconventional oil (mainly fracked shale oil with a little help from Canadian oil sands) raised the plateau in 2015 and still on that plateau in 2025.  

Count on Alice to always be ready for peak oil....15 years ago, 10 years ago, 5 years ago, etc etc.

She should have stuck to programming software to allow truck drivers to be more efficient. I do like how she provides references and whatnot...of course....only ones that support her current idea of....whatever. Whenever.

I'll have to check the EIA stats on global crude to see if they have updated with more recent information, and if 2025 was FINALLY another peak oil as opposed to 2018.

A smoking gun at last!

With automatic translation built into browsers, posting Spanish articles is cool.

QuoteThe question is what will happen from now on. On the one hand, in the CJNG itself, which lacks a clear successor to the Mencho. "When these organizations break down, brutal spirals come. I'm not optimistic. We will see episodes of tremendous violence in many cities of the country," the expert continues.

Translated from the second article.

The chosen ones.

I was never comfortable with that, and find it offensive that I would have more equanimity than god.  This claptrap comes from the 'control face' of religion having nothing to do with the spiritual face.

Religion has many faces, we really need more than one word for what we mean by religion.  But the social control face of religion makes sure that does not happen.

It is a profound irony in being told to look up to a divine archetype who seems less emotionally regulated or compassionate than an average person.








Dogma or wisdom, the choice is yours.

The 'chosen ones' isn't a call to higher responsibility or deeper compassion,  Only good men think that way.  It is used by Israel as divine license for tribalism, land theft, and violence.
