@LinusEkenstam Compressing furniture (even compressible ones) long-term is not a good idea. Nobody knows how long these will be sitting in warehouses in such a compressed state.

China makes these "boneless" sofas, packs them in boxes and ship to the US. It might be alarming for IKEA. Logistics costs are plummeting, costs decreasing.

There are 2 chinas. The PRC and the ROC. The proclamations of both sides are irrelevant. The reality is that there are 2 of them and so long as there are 2 of them to make any claim it will stay that way.

I’m pro-America, pro-Ukraine, pro-Taiwan. If any of these countries offered to pay me to do propaganda I would refuse. Even though I already speak out for their benefit I would not want that kind of taint. I speak my mind, not for my wallet.

#Nebenzia: Zelensky is bamboozled by the shift of focus from #Ukraine & his “heroic figure” to the escalation in the #MiddleEast, which requires the close scrutiny of the int'l community. The Kiev regime is now out of the spotlight & is desperately trying to recapture attention.

@MykhailoRohoza Ust-Luga needs to be taken out next. Then the cranes and bulk carriers at the container/cargo ports at Konteynernyy Terminal and St Petersburg. Then the same to everything at Novorossiysk. Then the Yamal Cross.

The Baltic oil transit of Russia has effectively been reduced to zero. Oil exports have been halted. On the night of March 23, more than 60 Ukrainian drones broke through Russia’s so-called air defense in the Leningrad region, turning the key Transneft-Port Primorsk terminal into a massive inferno. The tanks there are packed tightly like an anthill, the fire is consuming them one by one, and the Russians are physically unable to stop this hell. This is one of the most effective deep strikes in the entire war. Now to the dry math and logic of the process. The strike has shut down two main Baltic ports — Primorsk and Ust-Luga. To understand the scale of this economic meat grinder: Primorsk handled about 60 million tons of oil annually, while Ust-Luga exported around 700,000 barrels per day. Together, this accounts for exactly half of Russia’s total seaborne oil exports. Every day these terminals remain idle burns $80–100 million in direct losses from the Russian budget. Ten days of downtime means a loss of a billion. It turns out the colossus stands on clay feet: scarce air defense systems were pulled closer to the Ukrainian border, while strategic assets that feed their war machine are protected worse than Moscow itself. Against this backdrop of collapse, the crisis around the Strait of Hormuz — which Moscow had been hoping would bring windfall profits — now looks like a pathetic farce. The U.S. Treasury says that at best, Russia could squeeze out about $2 billion from the situation — roughly the cost of a single day of funding its budget. But even that figure is an unattainable illusion. It’s important to separate illusion from reality: speculative trading of Brent crude (which has already fallen to $97 amid Trump’s statements) has nothing to do with what Russia actually earns. The reality is prices at export ports. And there, Russia’s Urals crude is trading at massive discounts, nowhere near the $100 mark. Add to this European seizures of the shadow fleet (already minus five oil tankers), broken logistics, and kinetic sanctions from Ukrainian drones — and those hypothetical profits turn into absolute zero. Russia simply won’t be able to deliver its oil to buyers. To accelerate this financial agony, the market delivered another blow: gold prices have dropped sharply. Russia has spent years sitting on piles of gold whose paper value had recently increased, creating the illusion of a financial safety cushion. Now that bubble has burst. The valuation of Russian gold reserves is plunging, wiping out billions in virtual dollars that the Kremlin planned to use to plug budget gaps caused by the oil embargo. The financial vise is tightening perfectly: physical exports are burning in Primorsk, while reserves are being devalued by the global market. It is obvious that the strikes must target bottlenecks: pipelines, terminals, ports. If Ukraine systematically delivers another 5–10 strikes like the one in Primorsk, Russia’s oil logistics will be effectively finished. The Russians have no way to properly defend these facilities — their air defenses are already stretched to the limit, and redeploying systems from other directions would leave the front exposed. The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz will inevitably crash global oil prices, окончательно лишив Россию финансового преимущества. The war will end not only when Ukrainian forces grind down another 50,000 occupiers in a month, but when Russia’s economy simply stops without oil revenues. The process has already begun, and the math of it is ruthless for the Kremlin.

This is how it all starts. Over time they start asking you to do more and more. Seems harmless at first but before you know it you’re stuck in a propaganda dependency trap. You do more and more propaganda because that’s all you can ever get hired for cause nobody would hire you once they find out you’ve done propaganda.

This is a great investigation: Roy Singham has been funding anti-Ukraine, pro-Kremlin, and pro-CCP movements around the world for a whopping $278M. He is also the husband of CODEPINK co-founder Jodie Evans, who joined Hasan Piker on their performative 5-star hotel Cuba trip.

NEW. POWER COUPLE OF CHAOS: How a tycoon and activist built a 'Revolutionary Base' at the House of Singham WATCH: Exclusive remarks from Neville Roy Singham ⬇️ I’ve spent a decade in the streets covering the protest industry, not just what people say, but who shows up, how movements form and what patterns repeat. This morning we are publishing the first part of a five-part series @FOxNews Digital that started with my reporting on the streets. It changed when I used large language models to analyze years of data, including IRS filings, corporate records, events, messaging. READ and SHARE: Part 1 of our series: foxnews.com/us/house-singh… What emerged: a clear portrait of the system and infrastructure behind the protests. At the center: a transnational network funded by tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham. His wedding to CodePink co-founder Jodie Evans in Jamaica in 2017 ushered in a new decade over which this network has been built. I call it the House of Singham. And for the first time — in his own words in a video that I have unearthed from a conference last fall in Shanghai, blessed by the Communist Party of China — we have evidence that Singham is explicitly aligned with: 🟥 The People's Republic of China 🟥 President Xi Jinpeng 🟥 "The CPC," as Singham calls it: the Communist Party of China "Comrades and friends....," he begins. SIngham continues in the video: "If we want to, therefore, have a new world order that is based on multilateralism that President Xi and CPC and China have proposed, we have to undo the ideological damage that has been done by the narrative of World War II." (The West speaks about the Chinese Communist Party, or CCP. Singham uses the term that the government of China uses for its ruling party.) In the newly discovered remarks, Singham: 🟥 Calls the Western view of WWII a “fascist lie” and frames Western democracy as “fascism” 🟥 Argues the global order must be reconstructed around China 🟥 Praises Xi Jinping and the Communist Party of China’s vision for a "new world order" In a 172-page study, "80th Anniversary of the Victory of the World Anti-Fascist War: Acknowledging Who Truly Saved Human History and Restoring Historical Truth," published under his name, Singham: 🟥 Minimizes U.S. sacrifice in WWII — claiming "just 1%” of deaths were "Anglo-Americans" 🟥 Diminishes the deaths of U.S. and British troops and servicemembers, writing that the Soviets and China really won the war with, "59.8% socialists dead, 13.1% colonised peoples dead – only 1% Anglo-Americans dead" 🟥 Praises Mao Zedong's views on winning "protracted war" through the "masses of the people" This isn’t abstract rhetoric. It connects directly to a funding, influence operation and cognitive warfare we mapped: 5 Rings. 2,000 Groups 🟥 223 transactions 🟥 $591M moved globally 🟥 $278M tied directly to Singham I've included all of the transactions in a public spreadsheet with Part 1 of our series. Here’s how it works: 🟥 LEVEL 1 — The Funnel Tax-exempt money routed through shell-like entities + a donor-advised fund tied to Goldman Sachs → anonymity for wealthy donors. (Goldman Sachs confirmed to me that it terminated Singham's fund in 2024.) 🟥 LEVEL 2 — The Core $278M flows into 6 nonprofits — several created rapidly, with leadership tied to Singham + his wife Jodie Evans 🟥 LEVEL 3 — Expansion About $163M redistributed into 52 orgs + regional pipelines 🟥 LEVEL 4 — Global Distribution $150M pushed outward across continents, including tens of millions into Sub-Saharan Africa 🟥 LEVEL 5 — Network Effect 67 core orgs linking to about 2,000 groups worldwide This is not just about money. It’s the infrastructure for malign influence, shaping protests, narratives and political pressure across countries. Thank you to @DataRepublican for her support as I walked through a labyrinth of data. And for the many researchers following the money — and the words — in the House of Singham, I have tried to share the raw data with you publicly so you can see the receipts and analyze the data. What is the best defense in cognitive warfare? What is the best innoculation? I believe it's knowledge, awareness and insight. And I hope that this investigation will help peel back the layers for you in a war over not just the hearts and minds of Americans but the world. Links to all original sources in the 🧵

Lauren Southern was one of the influencers who received Kremlin money through Tenet Media. Now she’s confirming what many of us have suspected for a while: most right-wing and conservative influencers are paid by foreign governments, interest groups, or corporations.
Richard Hanania@RichardHanania

Lauren Southern on how the entire right-wing media ecosystem is a scam: "I would argue that the vast majority of right-wing influencers now are paid for by foreign governments, interest groups, corporations." Watch the whole thing here: richardhanania.com/p/lauren-south…

🚨 Hungarian investigative journalist Szabolcs Panyi @panyiszabolcs published transcribed communication between Hungarian FM Péter Szijjártó and Kremlin fascist Sergey Lavrov in which they conspire to subvert the election in Slovakia with Russian help. Hungary and Slovakia are both NATO/EU members. Date: 14.02.2020 Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó: Hello Sergey, Peter here. Thank you for talking to me. As I understand you are in Munich, at the conference, right? Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov: Yes, I am in Munich. Hungarian FM Szijjártó: I don’t want to bother you but the Prime Minister asked me to do it, because we have kinda big plea for you. As you know then there are elections coming up in Slovakia 29.02 and it is of key importance to us that the coalition there would continue. I understand it may sound strange coming from Hungarian conservatives but we are hoping for social democrats since they are the only rational force in Slovak political landscape and the only ones who are acting without foreign interference. All others are basically funded by Soros. If the opposition wins then it would be a tragedy for the Central European cooperation. It is also important that the speaker Danko’s Slovak National Party would cross the 5% threshold. We hope they manage it but the only hope for the coalition to continue is when the ruling party wins elections. The prime minister Pellegrini was here yesterday and he told us that if your prime minister would host him even for half an hour it would be of great help for winning the elections. He told us it is way more important for their society than a visit to Washington. So he asked us to ask you, and we also want to ask it ourselves, if such thing could be organized that your PM would host Slovak PM in Moscow somewhere in February... Russian FM Lavrov: It’s quite a plea but I’ll pass it on to PM. Hungarian FM Szijjártó: I understand. It would be great if you’d manage to organize it. Pellegrini asked for our help in that regard since he knows we have good relations and that our presidents also have good personal relations. And he trusted us in this matter. Russian FM Lavrov: Peter, I will pass this plea on today and will be in contact as soon as I have any updates. Hungarian FM Szijjártó: Thank you. And let me emphasize it once more how important it is for us that the coalition in Slovakia continues. If they can’t continue then there is no hope for pragmatic cooperation in Central Europe and we would lose a lot. Russian FM Lavrov: I understand. Hungarian FM Szijjártó: You have no idea how grateful I am that we are having this conversation. It is a sign of friendship. Russian FM Lavrov: Any time, my friend. All the best. ----------------------- Hungarian investigative journalist Panyi is now under attack by the Orban regime for releasing this information.

@AlanRMacLeod It’s both. In capitalism the corporations are on the deck. In communism, the government is on the deck. The common man is always below deck.
