If you don’t believe in free speech for people who you disagree with, and even hate for what they stand for, then you don’t believe in free speech.Ricky Gervais
🇷🇺Putin just said the quiet part loud 🇪🇺"Europe is lacking brains" Brutal, But look at the timing. -Ras Laffan offline 3-5 years -Hormuz 4 ships in 48 hours -Qatar LNG gone for every European buyer -Von der Leyen no to Russian gas And Putin's sitting on a pipeline that still works. He doesn't need to fire a single missile at Europe. He just needs to wait ♟️ #Germany shut its nuclear plants. Closed its Russian pipeline. Refused to join the coalition. Now stares down an energy winter with no exit. Putin didn't create this crisis. But he's watching Europe walk straight into it with zero leverage and zero alternatives. "Economic decisions made by politicians with no connection to the economy." 📩 I break down exactly what this means for markets every week in my newsletter. Link in bio

🚨JUST IN: UN officials have admitted the United Nations is on the brink of complete financial collapse because member states are refusing to pay their dues. “We face a real danger of running out of money.” This is freaking hilarious. Good!! Couldn’t happen to a more useless and evil organization. Let it burn 🔥
🚨BREAKING: Qatar just declared force majeure on LNG contracts to Italy, Belgium, South Korea, and China. For up to 5 years. Here's what the CEO just told In an exclusive interview with Reuters, Qatar's Energy Minister and CEO of QatarEnergy just confirmed the damage from Iran's attack on Ras Laffan. It's worse than anyone thought. → 2 out of 14 LNG trains damaged → 1 of 2 gas-to-liquids (GTL) facilities damaged → 12.8 million tonnes per year of LNG offline for 3-5 years → 17% of Qatar's total LNG export capacity gone → $20 billion annual revenue loss → $26 billion in damaged facilities (the CEO said they "should not be attacked") QatarEnergy may declare force majeure on long term LNG supply contracts to: → Italy → Belgium → South Korea → China For up to 5 years. Additional exports declining: → Condensates: Down 24% → LPG: Down 13% → Naphtha: Down 6% → Sulphur: Down 6% → Helium: Down 14% The damaged trains: → Train S4 and S6: 30% owned by ExxonMobil, rest by QatarEnergy Production cannot restart until hostilities cease. What this means? 12.8 million tonnes per year = 17% of Qatar's LNG capacity. 17% of its capacity just disappeared for 3-5 years. Italy, Belgium, South Korea, China: These countries had long-term contracts with Qatar. Force majeure means those contracts are suspended. They now have to compete in spot markets for replacement cargoes. Against each other. And against every other buyer scrambling for LNG. $20 billion per year in lost revenue for Qatar. $26 billion in facilities damaged. The only country with capacity to absorb Qatari volumes at scale is the United States. I wrote a full breakdown on how this shift benefits US LNG producers and which stocks are positioned to win from Qatar's structural supply loss👇 open.substack.com/pub/themerchan… #Iran #Qatar #LNG
Trump just pulled a genius move on Iranian oil and it's savage! The U.S. is letting 140 million barrels of Iranian oil already at sea get sold off. Prices drop, market gets flooded with supply. But Iran gets zero dollars because sanctions block them from the cash.
This is a late-term abortion. A needle full of poison. Stabbed through the heart. So a dead child can be delivered later. There is nothing about this that could be remotely defined as healthcare.
⚡🇪🇺🇺🇲 JD Vance: “Europe is at risk of engaging in civilizational suicide. They are unwilling to control their borders. Limiting free speech of their own citizens.”

“California has 40 million people in it… if you take away 200 guys, the billionaires, if you take them out of the equation, we lose 47 % of our revenue. Many of those billionaires have moved already or are in the process of moving. 47% of California tax revenue… gone.
Canada just lost 109,000 jobs in 2 months. In US terms that’s almost 1 million jobs. Meanwhile food inflation just hit 7.3% — the highest in the G7. And 60% of Canadians are borrowing to buy groceries. Carney is sacrificing regular Canadians to score points on Donald Trump.
The UK House of Lords has just legalised abortion up to birth. Women can now end the life of their unborn baby at any stage, for any reason, without legal consequences. A truly dark day for Britain.
