Let me explain what just happened 👇
5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.
5 minutes…
These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.
There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made.
Someone in that room picked up a phone.
And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars.
American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it.
This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions.
This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight.
You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question.
Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that.
The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time. The trader seemingly made huge gains. Unusual.

BREAKING - #Oekraïne - Rusland
De Europese Netanyahu #Zelenski heeft met de steun van de Europese idioten zoals HEIL #Merz vannacht de Russische Beer nog wat meer uitgedaagd.
Terwijl de wereld Iran in de gaten houdt, heeft Oekraïne zojuist de grootste Russische olie-exportterminal aan de Oostzee in brand gestoken.
In de nacht van 22 op 23 maart hebben Oekraïense drones de haven van Primorsk in de regio Leningrad aangevallen. Brandstoftanks staan in brand. Personeel is geëvacueerd. De brandbestrijding is aan de gang. De gouverneur van Leningrad, Alexander Drozdenko, bevestigde de aanval. Het Russische ministerie van Defensie meldt dat er in de nacht 249 Oekraïense drones in het hele land zijn gelanceerd. Meer dan 70 daarvan werden alleen al boven de regio Leningrad onderschept. De drones die de haven bereikten, troffen de grootste laadhaven voor ruwe olie aan de Oostzee. Primorsk verwerkt tot 1,5 miljoen vaten olie en olieproducten per dag. De haven verwerkt ongeveer 100 miljoen ton per jaar. Het is het eindpunt van het Baltische pijpleidingsysteem. Het is de haven van waaruit het grootste deel van de Russische ruwe olie uit de Oeral wordt verscheept, onder andere via de schaduwvloot die westerse sancties omzeilt. Zowel Primorsk als de nabijgelegen haven van Ust-Luga hebben hun activiteiten opgeschort.
Primorsk ligt op 1087 kilometer van het dichtstbijzijnde punt aan de Oekraïense grens. Dit is geen aanval aan het front.
AV: Indien Poetin zich moest gedragen zoals de losgeslagen moordenaar in Washington bestond Oekraïne al lang niet meer.

BREAKING: While the world watches Iran, Ukraine just set fire to Russia’s largest oil export terminal on the Baltic Sea. Overnight March 22-23, Ukrainian drones struck the port of Primorsk in the Leningrad region. Fuel storage tanks are ablaze. Personnel have been evacuated. Firefighting is underway. Leningrad Governor Alexander Drozdenko confirmed the hit. Russia’s Defence Ministry says 249 Ukrainian drones were launched across the country overnight. More than 70 were intercepted over the Leningrad region alone. The ones that got through hit the largest crude oil loading port in the Baltic. Primorsk processes up to 1.5 million barrels of oil and oil products per day. It handles approximately 100 million tonnes per year. It is the endpoint of the Baltic Pipeline System. It is the port from which the bulk of Russia’s Urals crude is shipped, including via the shadow fleet that circumvents Western sanctions. Both Primorsk and the nearby Ust-Luga port have suspended operations. Primorsk is 1,087 kilometres from Ukraine’s nearest border point. This is not a frontline strike. This is a strategic reach attack on the infrastructure that funds the Russian war machine while Vladimir Putin profits from a Middle East war he did not start. Hold two numbers in your mind. The Strait of Hormuz carries 20 million barrels per day and is effectively closed. The IEA estimates 7 to 10 million barrels per day of Gulf production has been shut in. Now add Primorsk: 1 to 1.5 million barrels per day suspended on the Baltic. The world’s two largest oil chokepoints, separated by 4,000 kilometres, are both on fire simultaneously. One closed by Iran. One burning because of Ukraine. Two wars. Two chokepoints. One global oil market. Putin’s Gulf war windfall just caught fire. In the first two weeks of March, Russia earned an extra 7.7 billion euros in fossil fuel exports as Hormuz-driven prices spiked. Those extra revenues funded approximately 17,000 Shahed drones per day at production cost. The money flowing through Primorsk was paying for the drones hitting Ukraine. Ukraine just hit the port that was paying for the drones. The timing is surgical. President Trump’s 48-hour ultimatum on Iranian power plants expires today. Iran has promised to permanently close Hormuz and destroy all regional energy infrastructure if that ultimatum is executed. Saudi Aramco is telling Asian buyers to prepare for partial April volumes through a Red Sea bypass port that Iran has already hit with missiles. And now Russia’s Baltic crude pipeline has a fuel tank on fire at its terminal. Oil touched $100 per barrel this morning. Brent is above $114. The IEA has already released 400 million barrels of emergency reserves, the largest in history. Analysts estimate those reserves buy 73 to 83 days. The Iran war is 23 days old. The Primorsk fire started hours ago. The two clocks are now running simultaneously, and the oil market has nowhere to hide. Every barrel that does not load at Primorsk is a barrel that does not reach a European refinery. Every barrel trapped in the Gulf is a barrel that does not reach an Asian refinery. The planet is now short on both ends: the Gulf that feeds Asia and the Baltic that feeds Europe. The fertilizer plants, the ammonia synthesis, the urea granulation, the planting season, the food supply, the helium for TSMC, the chip fabrication: all of it runs on molecules that are currently either trapped behind a closed strait or burning in a fuel tank on the Baltic Sea. Two wars. Two chokepoints. One planet. Zero spare capacity. Full deep dive analysis: open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

misschien is het echt een slechte mop dat Europa het groene projekt begonnen is zonder het vooraf door te rekenen
wind&zon zijn intermittent
batterijen zijn niet realistisch voor grote opslag, waterstof verlies je 60%
kernenergie wordt al 50 jaar verketterd
blijft over fossiel aankopen (waar niets mis mee is) of armer worden
en op de koop toe is er geen klimaatprobleem

One of the biggest climate scare stories is sea level rise, sold as proof of a looming catastrophe.
But the data do not support this.
As per climatologist Dr John Christy, "Sea levels rose about 12.5 cm per decade for 8,000 years. Then it levelled off and now it's rising only about 2.5 cm per decade."
That's five times slower than the natural rise after the last ice age. And in the most recent records, there's been no acceleration in the past 145 years.
There is no crisis.
No acceleration.
And no reason for the hysteria.

Friedrich Hayek delivered the most devastating blow to collectivism ever written when he published "The Constitution of Liberty" in 1960, and most people still haven't grasped its revolutionary implications.
Hayek built his case on a simple but profound insight: human knowledge remains forever scattered and incomplete. No central authority can possibly aggregate the millions of daily decisions, preferences, and discoveries that drive a complex society forward. The socialist calculation problem wasn't just an economic inconvenience—it represented an epistemological impossibility. When you concentrate decision-making power in the hands of planners, you guarantee inferior outcomes because you've severed the feedback mechanisms that allow decentralized knowledge to coordinate spontaneously.
But Hayek went further than pure economics. He traced the philosophical roots of liberty back to the rule of law itself. True law doesn't grant privileges to specific groups or pursue particular outcomes—it establishes abstract rules that apply equally to everyone. The moment governments start picking winners and losers (looking at you, modern Western World), they abandon the legal foundations that make freedom possible. Hayek saw this clearly: discretionary government power and individual liberty cannot coexist.
The book's real genius lies in connecting evolutionary processes to social institutions. Just as biological evolution produces complex organisms through trial and error, cultural evolution generates sophisticated institutions—property rights, common law, market prices—that nobody consciously designed. These emergent orders vastly outperform anything human planners could create from scratch. Yet politicians and intellectuals keep believing they can engineer better societies through conscious control.
Sixty-four years later, we're still fighting the same battle Hayek identified: spontaneous order versus constructed systems, dispersed knowledge versus central planning, constitutional limits versus administrative discretion. Every economic crisis, every regulatory failure, every unintended consequence proves Hayek right all over again.

Kirill Dmitriev (onderhandelaar Poetin) :
'De EU-beperkingen op Russische energie hebben averechts gewerkt — we schatten dat de economische verliezen voor de EU al meer dan € 1,5 biljoen (1.500 miljard) bedragen.
Doordat de gasprijzen in de EU met ongeveer 100% zijn gestegen, zouden de totale verliezen tegen het einde van het jaar € 3 biljoen kunnen bedragen, wat zou leiden tot de-industrialisatie en een ineenstorting.'
Kirill Dmitriev@kadmitriev
€3T in EU losses from wrong decisions👇 EU restrictions on Russian energy have backfired — we estimate that EU economic losses already exceed €1.5T. As EU gas prices have risen ~100%, total losses could surpass €3T by year-end, triggering deindustrialisation and collapse.

Kiev staat derde in Europa qua Bentley-verkopen, aldus Richard Leopold, regionaal directeur van de Bentley dealer.
De gemiddelde prijs van een Bentley begint bij $400.000.
Als Europa Zelenskyy nog eens 90 miljard EUR geeft, is er alle kans dat ze de eerste plaats veroveren.

The ECB just admitted that dollar stablecoins are a threat to European monetary sovereignty. Piero Cipollone, a member of the ECB's Executive Board, gave a keynote today in Brussels laying out Europe's tokenized financial market strategy. The message was clear: if Europe doesn't build its own on-chain settlement infrastructure, dollar stablecoins will become the default backbone of European digital finance. His exact words: a world where "a single dominant platform and stablecoin with broad network effects" would have "serious consequences for Europe's monetary sovereignty." The response is already in motion. The ECB is launching "Pontes" in Q3 this year, a system that bridges tokenized asset platforms with central bank money settlement. Their longer-term project "Appia" aims to deliver a full blueprint for a European tokenized financial ecosystem by 2028. €4 billion in tokenized fixed-income instruments have already been issued across Europe since 2021, including sovereign debt from EU member states. This isn't theoretical anymore. Cipollone also took a shot at stablecoins directly, noting that even fiat-backed stablecoins "rarely trade exactly at par, even during calm market conditions." The argument: only central bank money carries zero credit and liquidity risk. This is Europe's answer to America's stablecoin push. While Washington negotiates the CLARITY Act and stablecoin yield deals with Coinbase and the banks, the ECB is building state-controlled rails to make sure tokenized finance runs through central banks, not private issuers.

Hoe vaak heb ik dat al moeten uitleggen aan mensen die voor de overheid werken en die praten over subsidies en vinden dat de overheid maar voor alles moet zorgen.
De overheid heeft geen geld, de burgers hebben geld. Overheden die zeggen dat ze gaan investeren, die zeggen, we gaan uw geld afnemen en uitdelen.

Energiedeskundige Remco de Boer over de krankzinnige energietransitie: "Tot 2040 moet er 200 miljard geïnvesteerd worden in het net. Dat gaan wij allemaal betalen."
"Dus het idee, van als we maar stoppen met fossiele energie en we gaan op zon en wind dan wordt het allemaal goedkoper, maar je krijgt allerlei andere kosten die daarbij komen."
Het is een veel betere en goedkopere optie om weer Russisch gas te gaan importeren. Dan is de energietransitie niet nodig.

Nee niet echt. Die COP 3 is wat je hebt bij -5°C met een lucht-lucht warmtepomp van de huidige generatie.
Los daarvan, ik ben nog steeds van plan om mijn gasketel te steunen met een Bitcoin miner. Die cashback zou er nog wel eens voor kunnen zorgen dat mijn huis verwarmen mij geld opbrengt...
Nederlands
Ivm komend tekort aan #gas door #IranWar
HR Gasketel rendement 95% => 100 kWh gas = 95 kWh warmte.
Stel: warmtepomp aangedreven door elektriciteit waarvoor alle elektriciteit in gascentrale wordt gemaakt. Rendement gascentrale 60% (op maximum vermogen). Dus met 60% rendement levert 100 kWh gas 60 kWh elektriciteit.
Warmtepomp heeft COP van 3-5. Nemen we COP 4 => de 60 kWh elektriciteit uit die gascentrale levert 240 kWh warmte.
Dus de 100 kWh input in gascentrale levert 240 kWh warmte.
Ook met COP3 nog steeds een flinke besparing: 100 kWh gas levert 180 kWh warmte. Plaats daarbij ook zonnepanelen en het wordt nog beter.
We hebben héél veel tijd verloren door warmtepompen uit de markt te prijzen door hoge taksen op elektriciteit.
