BREAKING: Qatar pauses efforts to revive production at the world's largest LNG facility after Iran struck one of its tankers in the Strait — proving the waterway is still too risky, per Bloomberg.

QatarEnergy paused operations at Ras Laffan after Tuesday's drone attack on the Qatari vessel Al Rekayyat. Eleven empty LNG tankers are now stranded outside the terminal.

Asian LNG prices are up 80% since the war began. Europe's benchmark hit €50 per megawatt-hour for the first time since the truce.

Qatar supplied about a fifth of the world's LNG last year. Two of its 14 trains were already damaged — repairs estimated at three to five years. The remaining 12 are intact but useless if the Strait remains contested.

Where the hell was Erika’s attorney at when Tyler’s defense team was begging the judge to make Lance show up and testify in person just 3 weeks ago?

These people don’t care about the truth- they just want their carefully crafted narrative to be presented as unquestionable facts

"Me enteré del asesinato de mi padre por un video de Facebook, lo reconocí inmediatamente, no por su apariencia, sino por su voz, por cómo pedía ayuda mientras se desangraba en la acera".

Lorenzo Salgado, un padre de familia, un obrero de la construcción de 52 años, fue fusilado brutalmente por el ICE de Trump ayer en Houston, Texas (EEUU).

Lorenzo era propietario de un negocio y había estado en el país durante más 35 años.... Trump no está deportando "criminales", está deportando y matando a trabajadores solo por su color de piel y su origen de nacimiento.

🚨 Regime Change Operatives Arrive In Venezuela — To Help Save People! 🚨🇻🇪

Remember the White Helmets? The Oscar-winning “rescue workers” who pulled “dying children” out of the rubble in Syria in their spare moments between regime change ops and false flag chemical weapons attacks? They were the best, weren’t they? Really showed the world that real-life superheroes do exist — in their spare time between regime change ops.

Well, they’re back! This time in Venezuela! And this time it clearly has nothing to do with regime change because the US and Britain have no interest in the country of Venezuela because it doesn’t have any oil at all and isn’t socialist and doesn’t partner with China.

Wait, my editor (who stands next to me at all times) just informed me that Venezuela does have some oil. …Okay, they have all the oil. They have more oil than any country on earth. …And they’re socialist. …And they do partner with China. …And now my carping editor has informed me that the US has demonstrated at least a modicum of interest in the Latin American country. Apparently the US has recently kidnapped and tortured Venezuela’s president and his wife and blown up 200 of their fishermen.

Anyway, just a few days ago, Syria’s state news agency SANA published a hard-on for the arrival of the White Helmets in Venezuela to help with the earthquake rescue mission. But what’s wrong with the White Helmets? They’re only there to help.

Well, as Kit Klarenberg noted:
“The group was established in 2014 by ARK, a shadowy British intelligence cutout founded by MI6 veteran Alistair Harris.”

You know a group is shadowy bullshit when their name looks like an acronym but isn’t one. ARK doesn’t stand for anything. I guess it’s just capitalized because they’re yelling their name at us. (Oh, and the co-founder of the White Helmets — former British military officer James Le Mesurier — was found dead in 2019 in Istanbul, having exited his high-rise apartment at 4:00 am via the window.)

So what did the Academy Award-winning White Helmets have to do with bringing down Syria’s government and dumping it into the hands of the CIA, MI6, and a former Al Qaeda leader? How does saving children, or pretending to save children, bring about regime change? From Kit Klarenberg:

"The group [White Helmets] and other ARK-created quasi-state structures shored up the dominance of Jabhat al-Nusra, which subsequently rebranded as Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), before violently taking power in Damascus in December 2024. By providing state-like rescue services in HTS-occupied areas, the extremist faction’s credibility as a governance actor with local Syrians was significantly enhanced, to the extent HTS became 'synonymous with opposition to Assad.' Leaked documents show British intelligence well-knew these activities assisted HTS’s 'growing influence', in the years leading up to Assad’s ouster."

Leaked documents have shown the White Helmets were first created in 2013 in a secret British program. Not only did the program pump out powerful anti-Assad propaganda, it also helped build parallel state structures that would be of great use in pushing the government closer to collapse. And, oh yeah, the White Helmets would also show how good they are at helping to create false-flag chemical weapons attacks. They really are jacks-of-all-trades.

So now they’re in Venezuela. Just to help. Nothing else. Not gonna try to surveil, infiltrate, infest, and delegitimize the Venezuelan government at all. They’ve seen the error of their old ways, and they totally won’t false flag anymore. …They pinky promise.

And if the roles were reversed, I’m sure the US government would have no issue whatsoever allowing a “rescue group” into the United States to “help us.” A rescue group founded by a foreign adversarial intelligence agency. A rescue group with a history of facilitating a dirty war that collapsed a government at the direction of said intelligence agency.

In conclusion, I would like to speak for the White Helmets: “Hello, good people of Venezuela. We are the White Helmets. We come in peace. …Is that a chemical weapon I see over there??”

The GHF food drops were one of the most sadistic events in recent history.

Israel imposed a total blockade for almost 2 months last Spring trying to exhaust food storage then they set up these food distribution centers without enough food for everyone with the goal of luring Hamas out into the open since they would presumably be faster and more capable of securing food boxes.

They then used facial recognition cameras on the cranes around the sites to identify “potential matches” and gunned them down in the chaos.

Bloody grifter cowards.

The Islamic Republic of Iran Railways announced that "all passenger train movements on the Tehran-Mashhad route have been disrupted" by cowardly US bombing of CIVILIAN INFRASTRUCTURE.

Passengers from affected trains are being transported to Mashhad by road.

Today is the final day of the funeral processions for assassinated Ayatollah Khamenei in Mashhad.

@russelldobular It's right there in the Bible: "For the purpose of this Act, "Thou shalt not" is intended to mean "Thou shalt not except in furtherance of acquisition". Pretty sure I'm thinking of the Bible, but it could have been the tax code.

“PragerU is now an official education partner in at least ten states, pushing right-wing American exceptionalism and pro-Israel political content into American classrooms. Led by former Israeli intelligence officer Marissa Streit, the billionaire-backed media operation is using military-style messaging tactics to reshape how U.S. children learn history, race, and politics.”

[Carlos @agent_of_change]

The Economist has published a revealing little story about the US’s clean-energy sector that neatly captures the whole logic of the tech war.

Over 2022–24, Chinese firms poured some $15.5 billion into US solar and battery manufacturing, building state-of-the-art factories that Americans could not build themselves. Then, in July 2025, Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” barred any company with Chinese links from the subsidies that make the sector viable, and designated Chinese firms “Foreign Entities of Concern”, alongside Iran, North Korea and Russia.

As a result, Chinese investors have been forced into fire sales: nearly $9 billion of assets cancelled, paused or sold off, some at massive discounts, snapped up by North American financiers.

So a Chinese-built solar plant in Dallas now flies the stars and stripes, while an executive effuses: “Never bet against the United States’ engineering and innovation.” It’s quite a boast to make about a factory you didn’t design, built with technology you didn’t invent, on assembly lines – as the Economist notes – “full of Chinese technology”.

US media never stops going on about Chinese companies “stealing” American technology, but the reality is the opposite. And of course it won’t have the desired effect. You can expropriate a factory, but you can’t expropriate the decades of patient state investment, industrial planning and accumulated know-how that produced it. The proof is in the detail the article can’t avoid: China still makes 95 percent of the world’s polysilicon, and the very executives celebrating US “innovation” are now demanding higher tariffs on Chinese inputs so they can “be globally competitive”.

Incredible. Having helped themselves to the fruits of Chinese investment, they now need protection from Chinese competition. That is not the confidence of a technological leader; it is the anxiety of a rentier.
