I really hate saying I predicted this.
In the article I posted on Saturday, I warned exactly how Ottawa’s reckless politicians were pissing away our hard-earned money like it was endless.
And here we are again.
They blow through billions, then come back with both hands out demanding even more.
Every single year we grind until Tax Freedom Day on June 8th, that’s the first 158 days, over 5 full months of the year, working exclusively for the government at all levels before we earn a single dollar for our own families.
All so these out-of-touch elites in Ottawa can keep funding their slush funds, giveaways, and vote-buying schemes while the rest of us drown.
Hard-working Canadians are fed up, broke, and furious.
Our money.
Our country.
Enough is enough!

Palantir, a CIA front company, now has its tentacles in the food supply, our healthcare data, our growing autonomous weapons industry, the military, the entire US intelligence community, border patrol, Space Force and so on.
Seemingly, Palantir is soon to become the testrun for Yarvins "sov-corp", a privatized version of govt that replaces the existing govt and is ruled by a CEO dictator. That is, unless we do something about it.

The UAE’s decision to exit OPEC and OPEC+ is a high-stakes pivot into a New Energy World Order.
Here's my breakdown of the UAE’s move, the game theory at play, and why they might know something about Iran's real circumstances that nobody else knows.
1. The Strategic Solo Run (Game Theory 101)
Imagine you’re in a group chat with a bunch of neighbors. For fifty years, the rule has been: “We all agree to grow only three tomatoes each, so tomatoes stay expensive and we all stay rich.” This is OPEC. It’s less of a "club" and more of a synchronized hoarding agreement.
And the UAE has just left that chat.
• The Logic: The UAE has spent billions boosting its production capacity to 5 million barrels per day. Under OPEC+ rules, they were essentially being told to leave that expensive machinery gathering dust.
• The Independent Path: By leaving, the UAE is no longer bound by group quotas. They are betting that they can maximize their own volume while Saudi Arabia and the others feel forced to keep their own production low just to prevent a total price collapse. It’s an independent actor strategy. They're prioritizing national revenue over collective price-fixing.
The Game Theory part is that the UAE is betting on other OPEC and OPEC+ countries staying (If EVERY country leaves, the resulting oil glut would crash oil prices and could be catastrophic for the energy industry worldwide)
2. The Iranian Energy Vacuum
But why leave now, in the middle of a war? Because Iran’s energy industry is in a state of terminal distress.
• The Burn Reports: Multiple sources indicate Iran is literally burning its own crude at the wellhead because they can’t export it (the Strait of Hormuz is closed) and they can't stop the drills without permanently damaging the reservoirs.
• The Opportunity: The UAE likely sees this as the end of Iran as a major market competitor for years to come. They are moving to fill that supply gap permanently. While Iran’s industry is going up in smoke, the UAE is positioning itself as the only stable, high capacity alternative in the region.
3. The Saudi and Trump Factors
This is a massive diplomatic read-between-the-lines moment.
• The Saudi Rift: Relations with Riyadh have turned frosty since the coalition breakdown in Yemen. The UAE is tired of Saudi Arabia calling the shots on oil prices while also competing for the same foreign investment.
• The US Alliance: Trump has consistently called for more supply to lower gas prices. By exiting OPEC, the UAE is aligning itself directly with Washington’s energy abundance agenda. In exchange for lower prices, the UAE likely expects heightened US security guarantees, which are crucial given the current war and how Iran has attacked them relentlessly.
4. The Fujairah Bypass Advantage
While most Gulf oil is trapped behind the contested Strait of Hormuz, the UAE has a geographic cheat code.
• The Habshan–Fujairah pipeline allows them to pump oil directly to the Indian Ocean, skipping the war zone entirely.
• By leaving OPEC, they are selling "Safe Oil" that doesn't have to navigate a naval battleground.
The Bottom Line:
The UAE is gambling that the era of cooperative hoarding is over. They are betting that in a world of war and energy transitions, the winner isn't the one who waits for the group, but the one who moves the fastest to monetize their resources.
And they're all in in the highest-stakes game theory bet of recent times.
