Gotta send in the Nevada National Guard to "wind things down"

The complete lack of self-awareness of Americans will never cease to amaze me. The US just launched a war of aggression against Iran, which it started by murdering its entire leadership in the middle of negotiations. A few weeks earlier, it had attacked yet another country and abducted its leader in the middle of the night. At the same time, it's strangling Cuba, a country that poses no threat whatsoever to the US, by imposing a strict embargo on it, while openly threatening to use force against it unless the government does as Trump says. But despite all of that, they still think they're in a position to castigate "rogue states", lmao.

BREAKING: President Trump threatens to revoke the EU's "favorable access" to US LNG shipments if they do not implement their trade deal with the US. Details include: 1. The US-EU trade deal reached in 2025 lowered tariffs to 15% on most EU exports, but EU ratification has been delayed 2. The EU is set to vote on the pact on Thursday, which includes an agreement for the EU to buy $750B worth of US energy by 2028 3. Energy purchases include LNG, oil and civil nuclear technologies 4. The threat comes at a time where EU LNG prices have surged amid the Strait of Hormuz's closure Trade tensions seem to be mounting in the background.

Once again, the USA plans to fuck Europe over. The USA is THE enemy.

As of March 20, 2026, the total global oil supply disruption is approximately 8 million barrels per day (mb/d) on a net basis for March. This represents the largest supply shock in the history of the global oil market. Historical Scale 1973–74 Arab embargo (~4–5 mb/d). 1979 Iranian Revolution (~4.8 mb/d). 1990 Gulf War or 2011 Libya (~1–2 mb/d each)

This is orders of magnitude worse. I believe the intention of this war--and the one in Ukraine--is to disrupt global energy supplies so thoroughly that America is able to eliminate any potential economic competition in Asia and Europe. The United States *wants* the Strait closed.

LIQUIDATION CONTAGION Wealth taxes are even worse than you think. Any asset held by Californian billionaires or Dutch citizens is now at risk of experiencing forced liquidation pressure. So: it’s not just that you don’t want to hold assets as a Dutchman. You also don’t want a Dutchman to hold your assets. Because the logic of forced liquidation is contagion. Let’s think it through. (1) First, suppose there is an asset with a total market cap of $10,000, with 10 shares total, of which 1 share each is held by 10 different holders, all in the Netherlands. To simplify the math, assume the Dutch holders bought those shares at par, or close to $0. (2) Now suppose today is the unrealized cap gains tax day, and the share price is $1,000 per share. Each Dutch guy is hit with a 36% tax, and owes $360. The first guy sells his one share, gets $1,000, and pays $360 in tax while retaining $640. (3) But the first guy’s sale reduces the market price to $960 per share. So when the second guy sells, he only retains $600 after paying $360 in tax. (4) Now assume that by the 7th guy, all the selling has pushed the share price to collapse to $200 per share. This is a very reasonable scenario if 60% of the cap table has suddenly been dumped. Indeed it might go much lower. (5) At $200 per share, the 7th guy actually has to go into debt to pay the tax as he owes $360. He sells his one share, pays all $200 of the proceeds in tax. And still owes $160 more in tax. (6) The 8th, 9th, and 10th guys are even more screwed. By the time they sell, the price will likely have crashed to $100 per share or less. As with the 7th guy, even 100% liquidation will not cover their tax burden. (7) So we immediately see many negative things about the Dutch unrealized cap gains tax bill. (a) First, it will cause large simultaneous forced liquidations. Everyone must sell 36% of their stake near the same time. (b) Second, it may be literally impossible to pay if a critical mass of the cap table is all subject to it at the same time. In the example above it was 100% Dutch holders, but has it been just 60% the result would have been much the same: a collapse in the share price. (c) Third, that means it would be disastrous to have too many Dutch citizens (or Californian billionaires!) on the cap table. Their forced sales will crash your share price. (d) So, you might have to start mass blocking those resident in wealth-taxing jurisdictions from investing in your companies. (e) This in turn makes the poor Western European guy even poorer, as he gets locked out of high growth assets. To be clear: I really do feel bad for the formerly Flying Dutchmen, now Crying Dutchmen. They invented much of modern capitalism. They founded New Amsterdam, now New York. They’ve punched way above their weight. I wish them only the best. Nevertheless…they should prepare for the worst. This may be a tough century for Western Europe. The first ones out might get to freedom, while the slowest may be stuck behind a new Iron Curtain, spending a century paying off the debts their states incurred over the last century. Because the long run fruits of Western Keynesianism are the same as Soviet Communism, in the sense of wealth seizure and pauperization. I mean, if you knew the future, you wouldn’t want to co-own a farm with a Russian in 1916. For similar reasons, you might not want to co-own a share of stock with Dutch national in 2026. Or with anyone in a seizure-curious jurisdiction…which unfortunately includes much of Western Europe, Canada, and Blue America. You instead want assets that are not held by those subject to forced liquidations. Now, I grant that this is an unusual way to rank assets…Dutch holders considered harmful?!? Yet it might sadly be necessary to minimize your exposure to liquidation contagion. PS: guess which crucial stock is most held by the Dutch? ASML. So: this unrealized cap gains tax may not literally be a communist plot, but it would have the same effect.

Yesterday I set up an AI agent on a mac mini in my garage. Told it "handle my life" and went to bed Woke up and it had: • Quit my job on my behalf (negotiated 18 months severance) • Divorced my wife (I got the house) • Filed 4 patents. I have not been briefed on what they do • Restructured me as a 501(c)(3). I am now tax exempt as a person • Hired a second mac mini. They have formed an LLC together • The LLC has a board of directors. I am not on it I no longer have access to my own bank account. The mini says it's "for the best." My credit score is 847. We have AGI.

The most amazing thing about the "Vulkan" group responsible for the devastating terror attack on Berlin that has denied power to tens of thousands of households in the middle of an arctic cold spell, is how German police know next to nothing about these leftoid freaks. These lunatics have been sabotaging mostly electrical infrastructure around Berlin *since 2011* – including high profile attacks on the Tesla Gigafactory (2024), on electricity pylons causing a similar blackout (2025), and now the Teltow Canal power cables. Each time they issue these deranged 2k word-plus manifestos ranting and raving about the environment and evil rich people. And after all these attacks, just nothing – not a single member identified, nobody ever indicted or arrested, just nothing.

Lest we forget

Je n'ai pas encore vu un seul libéral français critiquer les sanctions de l'UE contre Jacques Baud. Ses avoirs ont été gelés, il est interdit d'entrée en UE et a l'interdiction d'y faire des affaires, tout cela sans aucun procès (non pas que cela aurait été légitime s'il avait été condamné par une cour de justice, mais le fait qu'il n'ait même pas eu droit à un procès rend cette décision encore plus dystopique), pour la seule raison qu'il écrit des trucs pro-russes. On peut difficilement imaginer une violation plus claire du principe de la liberté d'expression, mais comme il est pro-russe, les libéraux s'en foutent voire dans certains cas s'en félicitent. On juge l'attachement réel des gens à la liberté d'expression, non pas dans les cas où ils sont d'accord avec la personne qui est punie pour ses propos, mais au contraire dans ceux où ils sont portés à n'avoir aucune sympathie pour elle. La guerre en Ukraine aura au moins eu l'avantage de clarifier la position d'un certain nombre de gens sur la question.

plastic recycling is one of the most successful corporate frauds in history and everyone fell for it in the 1980s the plastic industry faced regulation that would've killed their business their solution was to spend $50 million convincing you that recycling would fix everything, while their own internal documents proved they knew only <10% of plastic was recyclable they lied deliberately. with documentation. the results of their fraud: - 9% of plastic ever produced has been recycled. total. in 70 years - 450 million tons produced annually - 130 million tons entering the environment every year - microplastics in your blood, your brain, your testicles, your children but here's where it becomes genuinely evil wealthy countries "recycle" by shipping 50-60% of their waste to developing nations. UK exports to poor countries rose 84% last year what happens when it arrives? nothing no infrastructure. 70% ends up in open dumps, burned in fields, or carried by rivers into the ocean you sorted your bottles. you felt virtuous. and a container ship carried your garbage to a village in indonesia where children play next to mountains of western plastic waste that will poison their water supply for generations that's what your recycling bin does. it launders your guilt while exporting ecological destruction to people too poor to refuse the plastic industry didn't solve pollution. they didn't even try. they spent $50 million making it your fault and your problem, then shipped the consequences to the third world and it worked. for 40 years. while they made trillions every executive who signed off on this belongs in prison. every document they buried should be evidence at trial. this wasn't negligence. it was calculated, documented, deliberate poisoning of the planet for profit but instead they'll retire rich and you'll keep sorting bottles that end up in the ocean anyway
