La ligne Est-Ouest vers Yanbu est en train de rendre l'âme, emportant avec elle la dernière liaison fiable du royaume pour contourner le détroit d'Ormuz.

Lorsque le détroit d'Ormuz a été fermé fin février, l'Arabie saoudite disposait de ce dont presque aucun autre producteur du Golfe ne pouvait se prévaloir : une solution de contournement à grande échelle.

Des images saisissantes montrent le moment où une enfant a été secourue après que l'armée israélienne a bombardé l'appartement de sa famille à Gaza, à l'aube mercredi. Elle est la seule survivante de toute sa famille.

Israël s'est livré à de nombreux bombardements sur la bande de Gaza ces dernières 48 H, tuant et blessant, des femmes, des hommes et des enfants, dans

La dichiarazione di Trump offre una prospettiva mediatica molto interessante e potrebbe segnare la fine del "Progetto Ucraina", un argomento che merita di essere approfondito.

Nessuno si sarebbe aspettato che Donald Trump, dopo una telefonata di auguri di compleanno al suo omologo russo, dichiarasse che il gasolio russo si sarebbe rivelato la soluzione all'attuale carenza di carburante negli Stati Uniti.

The simplest test for recognizing a collective pathology is to ask each of its members whether they would choose on their own to do what the group is doing.

A pipe and an ocean

A gas pipeline is a pipe. It connects a gas field to a consumer, crosses a few borders, and, once built, transports energy at a very low cost per unit. A supply chain that starts at Russian gas fields, goes through an American contract, crosses the Atlantic on a LNG tanker, and arrives at a European regasification terminal does the same thing but with more steps, more markups, and more friction.

Die Bestürzung über den Abschluss des "Diesel-Deals" durch US-Präsident Donald Trump mit dem russischen Präsidenten Wladimir Putin hinter dem Rücken Europas am vergangenen Wochenende war nur mit dem Schock über das Treffen in Anchorage im vergangenen Jahr vergleichbar. Aus Sicht europäischer Politiker kommt der Abschluss von Abkommen mit Russland, durch die eines der wichtigsten Exportgüter des Landes von den Sanktionen ausgenommen wird, einem Verrat gleich.

"It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets."
-Voltaire (1694-1778)

A government that claims the authority to kill persons after they have been subdued, disarmed, tried, convicted and confined in prison has made a startling claim about the nature of political power. It claims not merely the authority to protect the innocent from violence, but the authority to inflict violence when no immediate threat exists.

The Iran war is straining US weapons stockpiles and raising doubts about Washington's ability to protect the Persian Gulf.

If that weakens the petrodollar and pushes oil producers away from the US financial system, two assets face clear headwinds: the US dollar and US Treasuries.

The petrodollar system helped create structural demand for both.

The young do not think about getting old, and this is to the greatest benefit of governments which spend and inflate younger generations out of any future subsidies they might one day come to rely on. For most people in Gen Z, though, there is at least a tacit acknowledgment that they are paying into a system that might not be there for them when they retire.

"We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us." - Marshall McLuhan

The tool being built today has a name: Pax Silica. The belief behind it is older. It is the faith that experts can manage what markets and democracies cannot. It is called technocracy.

The movement emerged after the First World War, when wartime mobilization showed how extensively governments could coordinate production.

The war in the Middle East has been essentially put on pause until the midterm elections in the United States are over, but once we get to that point Iran is expecting the fighting to go to an entirely new level. So Iran is using this temporary lull in the action to get fully prepared. Ground forces are being trained, defenses are being strengthened, new missiles are being produced, and rallies are being held to bolster public support for the coming conflict.

This is a fact-based history lesson. The lesson is about black slaveowners. Larry Koger's book, Black Slaveowners, is well documented. Koger provides 34 pages of documentation listing the names of black slave owners and the number of slaves they owned in South Carolina and 38 pages of historical notes. Most free blacks only owned a few slaves, but some blacks themselves had plantations and had as many as 30 or 40 slaves.

In the same way that medieval kings seized any excuse to invade neighboring countries, today's politicians perennially seek pretexts to further invade citizens' lives. And there is never a shortage of intellectuals who, like the courtiers long ago, assure their masters that God - or at least social science - blesses their aggression.

Cynical Policies in a Beautiful Place, Destroying Humans

Human despair is being manufactured and monetized by corrupt health care organizations, in ways that defy belief.

Health care companies, working with the neo-Marxists in Western blue states, are using local and state-level policies, and numberless NGOs, to produce ever more drug addiction, alcoholism, mental illness diagnoses, and homelessness.

Writing is thinking. Writing is the practice of sorting through the flotsam and jetsam of your own consciousness and transforming your thoughts and feelings into coherent, logical expression.
