_________________________________
Well, most commenters here do understand the Real Reason — the religious, apocalyptic fanaticism motivating the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Which explains their total refusal to give up their nuclear program. Nukes are not just weapons in global politics, but they are the instruments for bringing about the end times, the destruction of Israel, the return of the Twelfth Imam, the fulfillment of God’s Will, and peace on Earth. Even Jesus is supposed to make an appearance.
The speaker goes into useful detail. For instance, the IRGC is deeply indoctrinated too, not just a military arm.
So the situation in Iran is going to get worse before it gets better. The Islamic Republic will have to be thoroughly broken.
Sdferr: A multipart thread, of which the 1st part here (read the whole thing):
I do not do X. Suggestions for reading whole thread?
Vinod Srinivasan (thread compiled — sdferr):
OPEC was founded in 1960. The UAE joined in 1967. Qatar left in 2019. Indonesia suspended membership in 2016. Angola left in 2023. But UAE is different. It’s the third largest producer behind Saudi and Iraq. Capacity above 4 million barrels a day. ADNOC targeting 5 million by 2027.
You don’t replace that with a press release.
The official reason: “national interest” and “production flexibility.”
The real reason has two parts.
One. UAE is held to a 3 mbpd quota while sitting on 4+ mbpd of capacity. It has wanted to pump more for years. Saudi Arabia said no.
Two. UAE asked Gulf partners to back it
Why this matters for prices in the short run.
Less than the headline suggests. EIA estimates Gulf producers have shut in 9.1 million barrels a day in April because of the Hormuz crisis. UAE can leave OPEC, but it cannot ship what it cannot move through the Strait. Brent at $113. WTI broke $100 for the first time since April 10. The move is real but it is reacting to ceasefire risk, not UAE supply.
Why this matters in the long run. This is the actual story.
OPEC’s leverage was always coordination. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Iraq, Iran moving in the same direction. That coordination is now visibly broken.
Saudi Arabia loses its biggest production partner.
The political cover of a unified Gulf bloc is gone.
Trump gets a public win on his “OPEC is ripping off the world” line.
Russia’s OPEC+ partnership weakens further.
Three of the last four years of OPEC+ cuts were possible because UAE held the line despite wanting to pump more. That constraint is gone.
The signal to watch is not what UAE does next. It is what Saudi Arabia does next.
Two paths.
Path A. Saudi cuts production hard to defend prices. Loses market share to UAE. Internal pressure on MBS rises because fiscal breakeven is around $90.
Path B. Saudi floods the market to punish UAE and reset discipline through pain. Prices crash once Hormuz reopens. Every high-cost producer globally takes the hit.
Neither path is good for the cartel.
What this means for India.
Short term. Nothing changes. Hormuz is the binding constraint, not OPEC quotas. Brent at $113 is the immediate problem. Rupee under pressure. OMC margins squeezed. LPG and fuel inflation already in the system.
Medium term. If UAE pumps to capacity once Hormuz reopens, the supply picture flips. India is the world’s third largest crude importer. A fragmented OPEC with one major producer pumping freely is structurally bullish for Indian consumers.
But that requires Hormuz to reopen. And that requires the war to end.
What I am watching from here.
Saudi response in the next 7 days. Statement, production guidance, anything.
Russia response. Putin met Iran’s foreign minister Monday. OPEC+ without UAE is a different animal.
Iran position. UAE leaving while Iran is the reason for the energy shock is its own message.
Other GCC members. If Kuwait or Bahrain follow, OPEC is structurally finished.
ADNOC production guidance. The number that matters.
For 60 years OPEC has been the most successful commodity cartel in history. It survived the 1973 embargo, the 1986 collapse, the 2014 shale shock, and a global pandemic.
It may not survive a war it had no part in starting.
Watch the facts, not the statements.
sdfer, thanks. Interesting stuff. Next weeks may be very interesting.
A bit of a hot take but a modest proposal that came to me regarding the failed murder attempt:
Subpoena basically all the reporters and presstitutes that were present as witnesses regarding the assassination attempt for when this inevitably goes to trial. Make them testify under oath about what they saw, heard, and felt. Make them say what happened from their POV. Make them say that the administration never seemed shocked and surprised or showed no indication of having expected this and that it shows no hallmarks of being a false flag attempt. Trace things like Rep Andy Ogles’s claim that he heard a female journalist say that she hoped the killer got “that Orange (bleep)” and see if there is any validity to it. If so, force them onto the stand and ask them why she could hope for such an outcome.
And do it back to back to back so it all gets tedious.
Then take the footage and testimony and affidavits and use them to stomp on any fuckhead trying to claim this is a false flag, especially the colleagues of those under oath. Make any fool in the MSM go up against the words of their peers if they want to play that particular stupid game. Make them realize that no matter how much they hate Trump, their fate is tied to his and to burying the BS false flag nonsense.
Oh and of course if anyone is found to have had any prior knowledge, prosecute for perjury.
The butler investigation was very narrow two hearings at most, most the dead wood in the protective service was kept on according to susan crabtree because susie wiles opposed wide reaching reform, against the pressure by kristie noem (which explains oartially the narrative against her)
There were so many leads that were not investigated in butler then palm beach two months later (what game are we playing here) russian roulette? There have been two other incidents in palm beach since then.
Then you have the matter of the multiple blind spots at the hotel, which are glaring which have been noticed
Our many adversaries have surely noticed the matter
I just heard King Charles address to Trump and the gathering at the White House. Quite excellent. He drew many genuine laughs.
My favorite: Charles talking about the touring the East Wing and appreciating the Trumps’ redecorating efforts. Then commenting that the British had their own attempt at redecorating the White House in 1814. 😉
Looking at various postings on YouTube, it is apparent that employers are having a hard time finding qualified entry level employees, and that Gen Z job applicants have extremely different expectations than potential employers have, about what constitutes normal working conditions and behavior, with the result that a large percentage of newly hired Gen Z employees are being terminated after just a few months on the job.
These Gen Z employees are getting on YouTube complaining that, for instance—horror of horrors–they are expected to come to work every day at a set time, early in the morning, that for instance, if these new hires call in sick numerous times right after they have been hired, they see nothing wrong with this, and with employers saying that these Gen-Zers are not prepared to work hard and are unmotivated.
There are also reports that some black Gen-Zers are going to job interviews wearing–not suits, ties, or dresses, but instead, jeans, Crocks, bonnets and do rags—apparently on the assumption that they should be able to dress like this, especially because, they say, that bonnets and do rags are part of their black culture.
I’m also seeing YouTubes being put out by some heavily tattoed and pierced young people (love those big thick nose rings with the pointed ends, sometimes paired with rings in their lips, and bars with balls on their ends driven through the bridge of their noses), supposedly puzzled as to why they are not getting hired, and complaining about discrimination.
(This reminds me of a job I worked at, at a very staid mathematical journal, where they hired a new entry level woman to do keypunching of Hollerith cards who apparently presented herself well at her interview. On her first day at work, though, she appeared in a flowing, floating colored gauze like dress Indian looking dress, with some sort of red symbol drawn between her eyebrows and–if I remember correctly, it’s been 60 or so years ago, now–glitter applied to her face and hair. She didn’t last long.)
I wouldn’t want to be a hiring manager dealing with today’s Gen-Z.
P.S. Saw an interview with a young woman whose face was pierced by several dozen metal balls, and outlining her mouth, among other parts of her face. She was saying that she couldn’t understand why people might not hire her, or be turned off by how she looked; it was her choice, she said, which others should have to ignore and/or to accept.
She couldn’t understand the argument by one of the other people on the show that, the way you present yourself sends a message, that people read and react to that message and, then, evaluate you based on their reading of that message.
@ Snow > “it was her choice, she said, which others should have to ignore and/or to accept.”
The others don’t have to do a darn thing.
Anyone want to look in on some of these entitled darlings (they are on YT and TikTok, right?) and see what they say about people who dress and act conservatively (or ae least sedately); or who actually, you know, come to work and do their job.
Or vote for Trump: a choice which others should have to ignore and/or to accept.
PS This is not actually a new thing. My sister managed a book store in the later years of her career, and told me more than once about hiring some young person who showed up maybe a couple of days before just disappearing, once they discovered that working for a living cut into their free time.
Sometimes they wouldn’t even show up on the first day!
PPS I learned with more experience and exposure to the internet that applying for and even accepting a job was once a fabled requirement for getting unemployment or other welfare support; however, nothing in the rules said you had to actually do the work.
Whether GenZ shapes up or not, at some point we’ll all be dead, and they’ll be making all the decisions about what’s acceptable in the workplace, and there’s an end on it.
How about some good news?
I personally am opposed to Lawfare as a means of governing.
But I’m willing to play by the Democrats’ game rules, since that was their choice.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court of Virginia has denied the Attorney General’s Motion for Emergency Stay in RNC v. Koski – the one where he didn’t quote the ballot language.
One sentence. No dissent. No partial relief.
“Upon consideration whereof, the Court denies the motion.”
What this means in plain terms:
Jay Jones’ outside counsel from California asked the Court to allow the election process to proceed pending the rulings on the merits of the gerrymandering cases.
The Court said “no.” This stops the election from being certified for now.
The same Supreme Court that allowed the referendum to go forward in March, so voters could be heard, has now declined to override a final judgment finding the constitutional amendment process defective. Strong signal that process matters in Virginia.
The Attorney General asked the Court of Virginia to set aside a final order that exposed a ballot question he would not quote, an Article XII timeline he had to redefine, and a 1912 case that did not say what he needed it to say.
The Supreme Court said “no.”
The merits appeal continues. I will keep you posted as this develops.
The Department of Justice on Tuesday indicted David Morens, a longtime senior adviser to Dr. Anthony Fauci at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Morens has been charged with conspiracy against the United States, the destruction, alteration, or falsification of records, and concealment of federal records.
According to the indictment, Morens allegedly used his personal Gmail account to evade Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, hid communications aimed at restoring funding to “Company #1,” and countered the COVID-19 lab-leak theory. He also stands accused of exchanging non-public information with grantees.
Prosecutors say his actions undermined public trust during the height of the pandemic.
Courts have historically been skeptical of government pressure on broadcasters that looks like content-based retaliation, and the FCC’s enforcement powers are limited enough that analysts on both sides have noted the process itself may be the point.
But the First Amendment does not exempt broadcasters from accountability for how they use their licenses. It protects Disney’s right to air what it wants. It does not guarantee those licenses will be renewed without question.
ABC has spent months defying political pressure while offering no public explanation of its editorial standards or its obligations to the audiences it serves. The FCC is now asking it to provide one. Formally. On the record. Under federal law. That seems like the least ABC can do.
The process will take months. The legal bills will be significant. And somewhere in Burbank, Jimmy Kimmel will tape another monologue.
Question: Sir, how will you prove intent when, as the director had acknowledged, Mr. Comey said he did not associate “86” with doing harm, and he took it down promptly saying that was political speech, not an intent to do harm to the president?
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche: Well, this case is indicted today. This conduct occurred about a year ago, May 15th of last year. There has been a tremendous amount of investigation in this case. You prove intent with witnesses, documents, and the defendant himself — to an extent appropriate. That is how we will prove it in this case. I think talking about what Mr. Comey would or would not do if there was a trial… when it happens… it’s very premature for me today.
Those are matters, it would seem, to be hashed over during the trial, not just at the announcement of the indictment.
Prediction: The legacy media will cover this as though it is the worst kind of witch hunt. But in North Carolina, that may not help Mr. Comey much. It’s a different ballgame this time around.

‘Even Jesus is supposed to make an appearance.’
Please! Can we stop calling Islam an ‘Abrahamic’ religion?
Call me crazy but it seems to subvert the common elements of Judaism and Christianity.
And it’s a credit to the powerful theology of Christianity that it took more than half a millenia for the devil to mount a counter attack.
There, I said it.
Actually, I am surprised that Minnesota’s congressman (Illham) is dumber than New York’s (Alex). I guess marrying your brothers does have long term consequences. Stupidity x 11.
They don’t teach Roman numerals at Quality Learing Center, Inc.
Molly Brown, yes, subverting the common elements of Judaism and Christianity is the point of Islam. It’s in their foundational texts, which twist Hebrew and Greek texts to suit their new religious creation.
Molly Brown, Kate:
I find Islam’s appropriation of Judaism and Christianity deeply annoying. None dare call it theft!
I once did a word analysis of the Old Testament, New Testament and the Quran and compared them for most frequent interesting words (not a, the, and, etc.). It was interesting how judgmental Islam was compared to the others:

FBI and DHS Raid Dozens of Minnesota Fraudsters, Including ‘Quality Learing Center’
The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) are targeting more than 20 locations in their latest operation against the massive Minnesota fraud network, according to Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin, who said that he spoke with the Department of Justice (DOJ), the FBI’s parent agency.
The size and scope of the Minnesota fraud scandal, which is heavily linked to the Somali community there, but also implicates multiple Democrat politicians, including Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Rep. Ilhan Omar, continues to astound patriotic Americans.

Count me as an astounded patriotic American, partly to see follow-through on obvious fraud. I’ve read this is one reason Pam Bondi got the boot.
Hope the DOJ has its ducks in a row.

This was my favorite meme, but there were several very inventive ones.
Pwning Omar seems to bring out the creativity in people.

Please! Can we stop calling Islam an ‘Abrahamic’ religion?
Call me crazy but it seems to subvert the common elements of Judaism and Christianity.
And it’s a credit to the powerful theology of Christianity that it took more than half a millenia for the devil to mount a counter attack.
There, I said it.
Actually, I am surprised that Minnesota’s congressman (Illham) is dumber than New York’s (Alex). I guess marrying your brothers does have long term consequences. Stupidity x 11.

Molly Brown, yes, subverting the common elements of Judaism and Christianity is the point of Islam. It’s in their foundational texts, which twist Hebrew and Greek texts to suit their new religious creation.
Molly Brown, Kate:
I find Islam’s appropriation of Judaism and Christianity deeply annoying. None dare call it theft!
I once did a word analysis of the Old Testament, New Testament and the Quran and compared them for most frequent interesting words (not a, the, and, etc.). It was interesting how judgmental Islam was compared to the others:
