How is it Iran are firing salvo after salvo of drones and missiles and never seem to flatten hospitals, schools, and media tents? Do Amalek have better aim or just less genocidal?

This is a disaster of historic proportions. New poll shows that US voters believe Trump and Vance's war on Iran benefits Israel more than the US at a margin of *27 points.* And the poll was conducted nearly two weeks ago. Imagine what the numbers are now?

Instead of reading this book, read: 1. State of Africa by Martin Meredith 2. Lords of Poverty by Graham Hancock 3. How Europe Underdeveloped Africa by Walter Rodney 4. Lords of Impunity by Rasnah Warah 5. Where Soldiers fear to tread by John Burnett

Nigeria, Libya, Angola, Congo, Gabon, Chad should have made Africa Oil and Gas independent long ago. So what exactly is stopping Africa from building refineries and refining its own oil for its own use? Why does Africa export raw oil to Europe, then import expensive fuel? Africa has everything it needs. Except control.

UAE JUST WENT TO ZERO. NO ONE IS F*CKING READY FOR THIS. The UAE — third biggest OPEC producer — just announced its oil and gas production is at ZERO. This is not a headline from a movie. Fujairah terminal: shut down. Shah gas field: suspended after drone attack. Hormuz: 20 million barrels a day stuck. Your gas prices are up 20%. Europe's diesel doubled. The world just lost another pillar of energy. And this is still Week 3.

Gas facilities in Saudi Arabia. It’s over folks. We are heading into a major 1973-style energy crisis. There will likely be shortages and rationing. We will probably be moved to work-from-home - if you keep your job, of course. 🛢️📈

🚨 Let me tell you why this Goldman Sachs headline is the most dangerous one you'll read today.. Companies spent $450 billion on AI last year.. fired tens of thousands of people to "restructure around AI".. replaced entire departments with chatbots.. And Goldman Sachs just said it contributed basically zero to economic growth.. so where did the money go? > It went to Nvidia.. $130 billion in GPU sales.. Jensen is the only man on earth who got rich from AI that hasn't produced anything yet.. > It went to stock buybacks.. companies fired people, cut costs, reported "record profits" and bought back their own shares.. the money went UP not OUT.. Jesus! > It went to a bubble.. the same way crypto money went to Lamborghinis and not infrastructure.. AI money is going to valuations and not productivity.. here's the part that should terrify you.. They already fired the people.. Atlassian 1,600.. Meta 21,000.. Block 40%.. Amazon warehouses.. the jobs are already gone.. But the growth didn't come.. the productivity didn't come.. the revenue didn't come.. they burned the village to build a city that doesn't exist yet.. and Goldman Sachs just looked at the empty lot and said "there's nothing here"

As we see videos circulate online of Israeli airstrikes inside Iran, I would remind people about what the German Air Force chief said of Israeli Air Force strikes targeting Hamas in Gaza. The German Air Force chief went to Israel and reviewed their military plans, reviewed all the protocols they go through before every strike. As we do here in America, Israel has lawyers who review every strike for legality before it's conducted. And the German air chief said it is the most moral air force in the world. Israel has done more, he said, to preserve innocent Palestinian lives than any other air force would do in the circumstances. And we know that from the facts that have come out. Israel sends hundreds of thousands of text messages, issues hundreds of thousands of leaflets and flyers, issues maps on all of its websites which show the Palestinian civilians which areas will be attacked at which days and on which times. I was a football player. When you're on offense, surprise is the name of the game, and that's no less true in the military. Israel has relinquished the power of offensive surprise in order to preserve innocent Palestinian lives by telling Hamas exactly where it means to assault before it issues its orders. It has done so at great cost to the lives of its own soldiers in order to preserve and protect innocent Palestinian lives. What other country in the world would do that?
