Until I hear back, I will remain here. So whatever bitcoin or porn scams that are being run on the .@TheIntelFrog main account are not me. I will make a post on both accounts if/when I get it back.

Until then, on we go. Thanks for being here. I truly appreciate it.

It's not that simple. We can cover maybe 20%-30% after a year. No chance to ramp up LNG as we're almost at 100% capacity. Tack on 3x-5x shipping costs to cover the extra distance. If we don't restrict exports, we face the paradox of the oil companies making more money than ever before, while literaly down the street gas prices and WTI skyrocket. The average American won't see any of the corporate profit.

Thank you America for saving us 50 years ago today.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

It's official:

We are now witnessing the largest energy supply disruption in modern history.

Since the start of the Iran War on February 28th, more than 500 million ​barrels of crude and condensate have been removed form the global market.

In other words, global supply has now lost ~$50 billion ​worth of crude oil production since the Iran war began nearly 50 days ago.

This is the same amount of fuel it takes to run the world's international shipping industry for 4 months.

The world has never seen anything like this before.

Today in 1942, 16 twin-engine B-25 bombers secretly launch from the deck of the carrier USS Hornet and mount America's first air strike on Japan. The Doolittle Raid, which comes just 132 days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, surprises the world.

Tried to ask the President about two vessels in the Strait of Hormuz who were allegedly fired upon by Iranian gunboats.

President Trump: "out"

[Peter Hague @peterrhague]

You’ve not heard of the Celestyal Discovery? It’s the ship that made the Strait of Hormuz run in less than twelve parsecs.

He had a golden opportunity to say that, but he chose not to. When asked directly by Congress why these officers were fired, Hegseth said only “in due time and for all the right reasons” and “they serve at the pleasure of the president.” Republican Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska responded: “Yes, it’s currently very much your constitutional right to fire and hire generals, and the president has that right. But there’s also decency involved here.” The simple numbers show he has fired more general and flag officers than any time other than WWII and the American civil war...but those were for poor performance in combat, not ideological differences.

@unicornrampant6 @iwonomi @TheEconomist Hegseth has never given so much as a reason. He fired that many in a single day.

Dug deeper into smaller incidents after more sabotage speculation online. The #OSINT data is unambiguous: non-combat refinery & petrochemical incidents are running 22% below even the lower bound of historical averages. If there's a grand conspiracy to disable #EnergySecurity infrastructure worldwide, they're doing a worse job of it than normal peacetime operations.

Their article is based off a crowd-sourced list on facebook. It includes reduction in numbers, not actual firings, and officers fired for bring drunk on duty. Hegseth has fired more general and flag officers, all without any stated reason and unrelated to combat performance, than any other time in American history.

[ContactReport @ContactReport_]

@Mpolymer Never have more been fired, unrelated to combat performance, in American history.

@RonFilipkowski Somewhere there is mathematical relationship between amount of posts in inverse proportion to the attention he feels he's getting.

@atrupar Damn, he must have been late to get his shot. Dude def hit a line before walking in, yet he's sitting down.

[ContactReport @ContactReport_]

So, the data shows that the incident rate is actually lower than average worldwide, excluding losses to actual combat. There are two combat losses on this list. I wouldn't call a drone strike a "mysterious" cause. So I have to push back a little and say if this is all part of some grand conspiracy, somehow they are disabling less equipment than in peacetime.
