The Death Of A Capable Revisionist ("[Current Prime Minster] Kishida's policies are otherwise mostly in line with Abe's. He wants a strong militaristic Japan that can project power abroad. The U.S. is furthering that as it helps with its anti-China policies. But it should be careful what it wishes for.")

One thing you can say about the Nazis and fascists and communists is they knew fine well the only way to implement the change they wanted was to wipe out "real power ".

That's what it takes in a rigged system.


The leisure class and capital have read enough family trees and history to know that all to well. Why they spend $billions every year pushing everybody into the " middle".By force and corruption is how they came to control the country in the first place.


Even the Nazis in Ukraine knew it. Took control of the Ukrainian government by force. Threatening to kill or hang anybody who got in their way.

Energy crisis looms as forecasts ignore US shale oil quality


https://www.anasalhajji.com


As a result of the mismatch between crude quality and refining capacity, we have already hit a refining wall in the US. This explains why all additional crude produced has to be exported. But soon we are going to hit a worldwide refining wall, with plants not suited to running such a light slate.


By focusing on volume rather than quality, they are missing the point.Crude extracted from shale rock is generally far lighter than conventional oil and is not the type demanded by the world’s oil refiners as demand for heavier products like diesel increases.

Once crude quality starts to limit the growth of US shale production, due to lack of demand from refiners, we will end up with lower oil supply and higher oil consumption.

When they refill the SPR it will be with low quality crude. Need to be exported again.

The president is in hiding, protestors are in his swimming pool.

Wish this would happen in America.

Me too..

What are the Biden Administration’s choices to reduce oil and fuel prices?


Seems that there isn't any before the midterms

Should have lifted the tariffs against China. China has just announced $400b infrastructure package. Asked the different regions to bring forward their budget spending that normally starts in January every year. Asked them to start spending now.




Footsoldier said...

I love that about China ...


They never ask where the money comes from. If they need to do something they just get on with it.


No right wing lunatics clogging up the media and social media with gold standard, fixed exchange rate BS. Trying to stop them from what needs to be done.


No financial press talking complete and utter tripe trying to stop them. The Chinese completely ignore the lot of them and get on with it.



Peter Pan said...

Biden's failure to drop sanctions against China is inexplicable.

It's like he's holding the torch until Trump & Bannon return to the White House.
