Saudi Arabia, Russia plan to extend 1.3 million barrel a day oil cut through the end of the year


It's Russia and the Saudis warning: 'You think you control your economies. Think again. As some of you make a stunningly weak effort to change energy sources, we're going to continue to jack up the price of petro-products until we're satisfied with the weakness of your efforts.'

If you're asking yourself:

  1. How does cutting oil production raise prices?


2. How does raising prices forestall climate change action?


Here's how:

  1. Supply & demand: Lessen the supply and a constant or increasing demand causes prices to climb.

But shouldn't that make renewables more competitive?

  1. To an extent it does, but other factors intervene to turn that around.
    a. Renewable deployment while increasing significantly is not keeping pace with the increasing demand in energy.
    b. Energy is such an important part of every element of the economy that raising prices badly impacts the economy's ability to take new directions and adjustments.
    c. Renewables require energy storage in order to provide continuous service. Available battery technologies are not up to the scale of energy consumption. And, if renewables are to replace fossil fuels, energy storage scaling is all important.
    d. Big petro raising prices puts anybody that champions renewables in the political arena at an extreme disadvantage, because they become the ready patsies for the price increases. And, as long as renewables are held political hostage, tax breaks will favor fossil fuels over renewables.
    e. Energy storage requires massive investment in infrastructure no matter how it's done and that requires political support.

Shouldn't be that shocking but here we are. It would seem that not only are all the other devices that humans have taken a fancy to are spying on them but so are their cars.

Sex offenders who plead ‘trans’ are being spared prison.


Wow, it's as if that were the whole point of the exercise. It would explain much about why the deep state, media, accademia and Hollywood is so aggressively promoting the filth. See, the truth always, eventually, comes to light.

Interesting article. Dresdener Straße 11 they say. That's actually the neighbouring district Kreuzberg. But they mention he briefly lived in Naumannstraße too, which is Schöneberg, and Yorckstraße (which connects Kreuzberg and Schöneberg).

For the heroin, I can remember there was an anti-movement in the 80's, especially in Kreuzberg, which was much rougher than Schöneberg, with people spraying on house walls "Heroin-Dealer raus aus Kreuzberg" (Heroin-Dealers get out of Kreuzberg). I think the worst time was more in the 70s, when David Bowie had lived in Schöneberg btw.

In the 80s there had been much awareness about the downward spiral heroin causes for most addicts, with many deaths. I think this goes back very much to a girl commonly called Christiane F., who struggled to get away from heroin, and someone made a famous film about her ("Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo", "Us Kids from Zoo Station" or so, don't know if there's an English version).

It became so famous that we even had to read the book to it in school and a teacher invited a man who escaped heroin, to tell us his story in school. Video with Bowie's "Heroes" (written in Hansa studio afaik, with view over the wall) and Christiane F. Footage

Christiane F. (Felscherinow) was in the early 80s in a relationship with Alex Hacke, who was part of Einstürzende Neubauten. They also made some music together: Christiane F.: "Spinnen"

Vivek Ramaswamy Is Just Another Disgusting Warmonger
He is not meaningfully different from all the other warmongers in the DC swamp.

The reason Ramaswamy is so eager to uncouple Moscow from Beijing is because he wants to focus the US empire’s firepower on aggressively confronting China (which he ominously refers to as “Communist China” as often as opportunity presents). He wants to rapidly increase the US empire’s encirclement of China, endorsing an “AUKUS-style deal” with India, calling for an increased military presence in the Pacific by France and the UK, and pushing allies surrounding China like Japan, Australia and the Philippines to increase their military budgets in preparation for war.

Targeted Individuals

banned.video/watch?id=64f7be3a…

The US government has been targeting thousands of innocent civilians for decades

After 9/11 and the birth of Homeland Security, fusion centers were set up to monitor U.S. citizens. And the U.S. Department of Justice legalized non-consensual experiments on the public.

These Fusion centers employ civilians to target individuals and harass them, intimidate them, vandalize their property, and interfere with their day-to-

day life. This is known as Gang Stalking. Former high-ranking FBI agent, Ted Gunderson, reported in 2011 that he and thousands of others were being targeted. FBI agent Mike German confirmed this as well. Several federal agents have reported that they were targeting individual Americans including people who were simply Pro-Life. And that they were pressured to put more people on their targeting lists to legitimize more federal funding.

And I wonder how we did that when we made harddisc-recording in the 90s. There was no such "audio interface". If I'm not wrong, the Atari Falcon simply had audio inputs like a hifi. Probably with Cinch, as I still have tons of various adaptor-plugs to cinch. So there was an ADC in the computer and we never cared about it and didn't notice any loss of sound quality. Actually it should be possible for Apple to still be doing something like that, 30 years later.

Prima, dachte ich. Wenn der Sommer noch eine Extrarunde dreht, habe ich doch die Gelegenheit, nochmal nach Göhren auf Rügen zu fahren. Da gab es mal einen schönen Moment, vielleicht lässt sich so etwas wiederholen.

  • Der Zug um halb fünf ab Gesundbrunnen über Pasewalk, der am Montag noch fuhr, war heute verschwunden. Baustelle, fand ich heraus. Macht nix, dachte ich, die Strecke ist eh nervig, fährste über Neustrelitz - Neubrandenburg.
  • Der Zug 4:47 ab HBf fährt nach Rostock mit Anschluss in Neustrelitz. Dieser Anschlusszug fällt heute aus, stellte sich heute heraus.
  • Umgestiegen in Friedrichstraße. Der Zugzielanzeiger war ausgefallen. Meine Adleraugen entdeckten den am anderen Ende des Bahnsteigs.
  • Ich hatte mir nicht gemerkt, von welchem Gleis mein Zug abfährt. Macht nix, dachte ich und steuerte eines der blauen Terminals an. Das ging eine Stunde vor.
  • Die App sagte mir, mein Zug führe von Gleis 6. Fein, dachte ich mir, der steht da ja schon.
  • Unten angekommen, stellte sich heraus, dass der Zug, der da schon stand, der FEX war, der eigentlich um 4:21 abfahren sollte, mit 5 Minuten Versoätung für 4:26 angekündigt war und um 4:31 immer noch da stand. Mein Zug fuhr von Gleis 7.

Manchmal ist es einfach nicht zu glaubren.

Medal Of Honor Final Salute Arrival For Vietnam Marine PFC Bruce Wayne Carter 10/30/2020

youtube.com/watch?v=NR1rVGZfqi…

In August 1969, his unit was ambushed outside of Vandegrift Combat Base in Quang Tri Province. Carter had stopped the enemy's advance when a grenade landed between him and his fellow Marines – Carter threw himself on the grenade, sacrificing his life to save the lives of others. From this USMC mom to his Gold Star Mom . . . God bless her.

i hope protesters take a lesson from this next time so their sacrifice isn't in vain

Biden has never told the truth. He has always just made shit up.

When his first wife pulled her station wagon out in front of a semi and was killed, a police investigation showed no evidence that the trucker was impaired, but that did not stop Joe, who was not even at the scene, from claiming that the trucker was driving drunk.

Joe Biden is a deliberate deceiver, a chronic liar.
