Censorship..

Elon Musk is putting the Democratic National Committee on high alert as he threatens to expose more "smoking guns" in his efforts to release internal communications and documents to the public.

Musk, who recently became Twitter CEO, released never-before-seen information regarding the social media platform’s decision to suppress news stories about Hunter Biden’s laptop in October 2020. The "Twitter Files," as the internal information was called, was the subject of an over two-hour audio chat on Twitter Spaces on Saturday night.

The billionaire called the censorship of the laptop tantamount to interfering in the 2020 election.

"If Twitter is doing one team's bidding before an election, shutting down dissenting voices on a pivotal election, that is the definition of election interference," Musk said, per the Daily Mail.
He went so far as to call Twitter the "arm of the Democratic National Committee."
"It's absurd," Musk said.

Musk admitted during the audio chat that he has not read the Twitter Files, so his "understanding is limited." However, it appeared to him that there was “a very different standard applied to Republican candidates in the U.S. versus Democrat candidates."

Loss..

 

The United States’ return to the World Cup ended with a 3-1 loss to the Netherlands on Saturday in the round of 16. While the Oranje extended their unbeaten streak to 19 games and advanced to a quarterfinal with Argentina, the Americans contemplated how far they came and how short they fell.

Defensive lapses in the US team, gave the Dutch an easy three very similar goals, one after the other.  The Dutch player standing in the Penalty area, few yards from the goalkeeper, waving his hand to receive the ball, completely unguarded.    Just a thought.

Hello..

Anger..

 

President Joe Biden is angry at Saudi Arabia for its decision to slash oil production along with its OPEC allies against U.S. wishes, and he’s made no secret of it. 

With the global economy on a knife-edge and energy prices high, caused by Biden Decesions, Washington sees the kingdom’s move – which it made in coordination other oil-producing states – as a snub and a blatant display of siding with Moscow. 

Detailes..

In the United States, in particular, the combination of a $900 billion fiscal stimulus at the end of 2020 followed by a $1.7 trillion package in March 2021 proved too much, too late.

Supply chain disruptions have been a major contributing factor to inflation, although some of the strain on supply should really be traced to the sudden surge in demand. 

Across advanced economies, more than half (including the United States and the Euro area) had inflation rates of over 5 % even before hostilities, so that the war made an already difficult situation worse. 

Prior to the conflict, Russia and Ukraine combined accounted for a quarter of global wheat exports, and Russia is a major supplier of fossil fuels, especially to Europe. 
Disruptions to supplies of these commodities are driving up prices.

President Biden's commitment to abolish fossil fuels, blocked Key Stone XL pipeline and Nord Stream 2 pipeline has taken a profound effect on the industry. Prices are high, and they want to profit as much as possible. No new investment, and production lowering becomes a method of today's profit.

Finally, the sanctions of US and EU on Russia didn't help anyone but Russia, and USA on the back of EU and poor countries.

So this time of suffering is caused by us, not someone else.  Just a thought.

Soaring..

 
The 27 countries of the European Union agreed in June to ban the purchase of Russian crude oil from Dec. 5. In practical terms, the EU together with the United States, Japan, Canada and the U.K. want to drastically cut Russia's oil revenues in a bid to drain the Kremlin's war chest following its invasion of Ukraine.

However, concerns that a complete ban would send crude prices soaring led the G-7 to consider setting a cap on the amount it will pay for Russian oil.

An outright ban on Russian imports could be "really disruptive" to markets, according to Henning Gloystein, director of energy,

A price limit would see G-7 nations buy Russian oil at a lower price, in an effort to reduce Russia's oil income without raising crude prices across the globe.

However, EU nations have been in dispute for several days over the right level to cap prices.
