Of-Gem..

  


Britain's energy regulator Ofgem announced last month that it would raise its main cap on domestic energy bills by 80% from October, taking the average annual household payment to £3,549 ($4,197) from £1,971.

It comes as global energy markets come under continued pressure following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and resultant supply caps and sanction by the G7.   

On september 2nd the Group of Seven (G7) countries launched a new attempt to regain the advantage in the West’s energy confrontation with Russia: imposing a price cap on purchases of Russian oil and oil products, probably to take effect on December 5th. 

I think they are going down the wrong path for some time. it is simply a cause and effect.

Just a thought.

Crumbling..



Menzies Research Centre’s Nick Cater says Europe is struggling with energy and the “illusion” of getting by with just wind, solar and batteries has “come crumbling”.

“Their dirty little secret they were getting all that gas and coal from Russia just to keep the home fires burning when the windmills weren’t running – that’s come home to roost now,” Mr Cater told Sky News host Chris Kenny.

“We need a reliable base load source and if it’s not gonna be coal … and gas for base load on that scale, then it has to be nuclear.”

Europ, part of the G7 didn't want to invest in anything related to energy. Let Russia do that and we keep our countries relatively clean.

Now, following US lead by not getting energy from their reliable next-door Neighbour, getting energy from other countries is costing three-fold, availability, transportation, other geopolitical unrest in faraway places and higher cost.  

Inside..

 


3 days ago — A Bronx postal worker was pistol-whipped and the post office was robbed in a brazen attack, the gunman getting away with more than $100,000.

This story screams an inside job.  Just a thought.

Threat .

 


Two U.S. B-52 bombers flew a mission over the Middle East in an apparent show of force in the region, the fourth of its kind this year, the U.S. Air Force announced. 

The latest flyover comes as the U.S. and Iran struggle to reach an agreement on reviving the 2015 nuclear deal. 

The U.S. has frequently flown such missions at points of high tension with Iran, per AP

The U.S. bombers were accompanied by warplanes from the RAF, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, while representatives from 16 nations helped organize logistical support, per the press release. 

Israeli warplanes also accompanied the mission, though their presence was omitted from the U.S. release.

Was that the cause of the Ukraine War... The threat that we want to exert in the area? 

 Just a thought.

Threat..

 


Cannon..



U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon in West Palm Beach, Florida, granted Trump's request for a special master, an independent third party who is sometimes assigned in sensitive cases to review materials that could be covered by attorney-client privilege.

Cannon said the person will be tasked with reviewing documents that are not just covered by attorney-client privilege, but any records possibly covered by executive privilege as well.

Cannon also ordered the Justice Department to stop reviewing the records as part of its criminal investigation, a move that will likely at least temporarily hinder its ability to continue investigating.

The US Laws controlled the FBI.  Just a thought.
