@ eaglesoars:
Another thing about oil prices. Qatar has just announced it’s leaving OPEC as of January. I’m not sure what the rationale behind this is. I THINK they’re playing footsie w/Iran/Turkey and trying to get the global prices up, but I haven’t read any background or talked to anybody with knowledge yet.

Armstrong on the French TAX revolt:
“Macron held a news conference in Buenos Aires where he said that there was no cause justified the looting of stores, attacking the security forces, or torching of property. Macron totally fails to comprehend that the violence is building frustration that historically is necessary to mature into a revolution. This is not a political movement. This is economically driven. The police said that violent far-right and far-left groups had infiltrated the yellow vests movement in a desperate effort to call them extremists. These protests began as a backlash against Macron’s fuel tax hikes, but have tapped into a growing resentment that all people get are higher taxes and lower standards of living.
While the protests appear to have caught Macron off-guard despite the fact that his poll rating is now down to 20%, like François Hollande, Macron is unrepenting and unyielding. He said he would not change his policy because of the protests of “thugs”. This only fuels the angry response that he is also out of touch with ordinary people, particularly in rural villages and the provincial hinterlands. There were people with signs reading “Macron, stop treating us like idiots!” Macron is inspiring real hatred as did Hillary Clinton when she called 50% of the country who voted for Trump the “deplorables!”
Macron may call them “thugs” but the “Yellow Vests” have widespread public support, even in cities. The vast majority of French people were fed up with Macron. You can see the anger is escalating more and more throughout France, according to my sources there, and Macron is as unyielding as was Hollande. Some say that Macron had written a book called Revolution. He obviously failed to understand what really makes a revolution – TAXES.”
oh lookie here! Mueller has withheld exculpatory evidence in the Cohen case!
The nine-page charging document filed with the plea deal suggests that the special counsel is using the Moscow tower talks to connect Trump to Russia. But congressional investigators with House and Senate committees leading inquiries on the Russia question told RealClearInvestigations that it looks like Mueller withheld from the court details that would exonerate the president. They made this assessment in light of the charging document, known as a statement of “criminal information” (filed in lieu of an indictment when a defendant agrees to plead guilty); a fuller accounting of Cohen’s emails and text messages that Capitol Hill sources have seen; and the still-secret transcripts of closed-door testimony provided by a business associate
On page 7 of the statement of criminal information filed against Cohen, which is separate from but related to the plea agreement, Mueller mentions that Cohen tried to email Russian President Vladimir Putin’s office on Jan. 14, 2016, and again on Jan. 16, 2016. But Mueller, who personally signed the document, omitted the fact that Cohen did not have any direct points of contact at the Kremlin, and had resorted to sending the emails to a general press mailbox. Sources who have seen these additional emails point out that this omitted information undercuts the idea of a “back channel” and thus the special counsel’s collusion case.

Qatar Quitting OPEC to Focus on Exports of Liquefied Natural Gas
Speaking to reporters Monday in Doha, the country’s minister of state for energy affairs, Saad Sherida al-Kaabi, made the surprise announcement, saying that the world’s largest exporter of LNG plans to increase its exports from 77 million tons of gas per year to 110 million tons.
“In light of such efforts and plans, and in our pursuit to strengthen Qatar’s position as a reliable and trustworthy energy supplier across the globe, we had to take steps to review Qatar’s role and contributions on the international energy scene,” al-Kaabi said.
Qatar also wants to raise its oil production from 4.8 million barrels a day to 6.5 million barrels, he said.

PARIS (Reuters) – French President Emmanuel Macron will urge a visiting group of top Silicon Valley venture capitalists this week to invest in the nation’s start-ups while calling on them not to “steal” the best creations, four sources told Reuters.
The discreet event, not mentioned in Macron’s official schedule, comes at a tough time for the French leader after rioters looted and ransacked boutiques and businesses in central Paris, chaotic images beamed around the world.
Executives from some of the biggest names in U.S. tech funding, including Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital and General Atlantic, are among the 40 expected in Paris on Wednesday and Thursday for a tour of the French startup scene.

@ eaglesoars:
Hmmm. I wonder if Qatar still has that U.S. military base?
In June 2017, Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates cut ties to Qatar in a political dispute that continues to this day. They also launched an economic boycott, stopping Qatar Airways flights from using their airspace, closing off the small country’s sole land border with Saudi Arabia and blocking its ships from using their ports.
They say the crisis stems from Qatar’s support for extremist groups in the region, charges denied by Doha. The four nations have also pointed to Qatar’s close relationship with Iran, with which its massive offshore gas field. Qatar restored full diplomatic ties to Iran amid the dispute.
OPEC, or the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, was formed in 1960 as a reaction to Western domination of the oil industry.
Qatar was the first nation outside of its founding members to join the cartel, entering its ranks in 1961. Qatar is a nation about the size of the U.S. state of Connecticut, which juts out from the Arabian Peninsula into the Persian Gulf. It hosts the al-Udeid Air Base, the home of the forward headquarters of the U.S. military’s Central Command and some 10,000 American troops.

Emmanuel Macron will announce Tuesday the creation of a ” high council for the climate “, composed of experts, says the Journal du dimanche (JDD), citing the Elysée palace. To be announced during the presentation of multi-annual programming of energy (EPP), the installation of this structure placed under the authority of the Prime minister, is intended “to generate less of tensions” on the “energy policy and its tax implications,” says the weekly Sunday.

Here’s a very interesting background report on Macron’s troubles written by a French man, so he understands the culture. It’s damning.
Macron, who claimed that he would defeat the “populist” wave rising throughout the continent, has also claimed that leaders who listened to people eager to defend their way of life were “leprosy” and “bad winds”.
If you read the whole thing, he comes across as an insufferable prick. Probably because he is.

Macron has already said that the U.S. is an enemy. Merkel hasn’t said it, but she sure has acted like it. At every fork in the road, she has sided with Iran, against the U.S. and Israel.
Speaking from the European parliament, Sandell said, “What we have found out, something I heard for quite some time already, from central and eastern European countries that would have an inclination to move their embassy to Jerusalem, this is the natural thing for them to do, is that they have received phone calls from Berlin, from Angela Merkel, the chancellor. Basically, this cannot happen under any circumstances.”
Because Iran doesn’t like it.
I don’t know what she’ll do after she leaves office. Maybe put a burkha bag over her head and move to Tehran.

So…. I have a theory, of which I shall elucidate with great profundity to all hereabouts. One for which our youngest members, shall in their senior decades have the great satisfaction of reminiscing that, yes indeed, they do remember when ole Dr Grey informed them of this great reality, even though it took many decades for the rest of the scientific community to share this startling revelation.
Once upon a time (Because all great scientific theories always start out, Once upon a time) There was a glorious planet. This glorious small rocky planet orbited between modern day Mars and Jupiter. For the sake of clarity, we shall call this glorious planet, Faribiru.
One day, while the glorious planet Faribiru was chillin, doin its normal glorious planet thang, a rather annoying Brown Dwarf Star chanced to cruse past the solar system. In doing so, it upset the natural order of the solar system.
Well, that and the fact that Faribiru and BD was throwin back some serious Whisky shots, resulted in Faribiru doing a bit of serious staggering, and, well, Faribiru lost its balance and tripped and fell.
As Faribiru was falling, (towards the Sun no less) Faribiru desperately reached out for something, well, technically anything, to prevent it from falling. As it passed Mars, it, well, bumped into Mars. Just a minor nudge really. (Now admittedly, Mars did not consider it a minor nudge) However, this minor nudge was not enough to allow Faribiru to regain its balance, and consequently, Faribiru continued staggering inward towards the Sun.
Faribiru’s smaller little brother Earth saw Faribiru heading its way, and deciding that discretion was the better part of valor, simply made sure that it wasn’t in Faribiru’s way as Faribiru careened towards the Sun. Faribiru being some 20 percent larger then Earth, this proved to be a rather sound strategy for Earth.
However, Faribiru’s little sister, Venus was not so quick thinking, and she, in an attempt to prevent Faribiru from falling into the Sun, got in Faribiru’s way. Faribiru and Venus collided. Faribiru hit poor little Venus so hard, that it caused poor little Venus to reverse her spin.
Now, Faribiru, having already collided with Mars, was pretty shaken up and well, was having a Humpty Dumpty sort of crisis. Faribiru’s outer crust, i.e. shell, was pretty badly fractured by its little nudge with Mars, Bouncing of Venus, well, that was just more than Faribiru’s crust could take, and like a jacket cast off on a blistering August afternoon, it simply had to go.
On the positive side. The act of casing off its outer crust provided Faribiru just enough extra momentum in just the right direction to prevent Faribiru from continuing its drunken stumbling into the Sun. Ok, it did result in Faribiru losing a whole lot of weight. And, since it was still in the process of casting off its mittens, galoshes and scarf(Its might damned cold out there between Mars and Jupiter, so extra cloth to stay warm are a necessity) as it entered its new orbit around the Sun.
Faribiru, who had by this time been nicknamed Mercury (which in the Planet language translates too, drunken idiot who almost fell into the Sun) by the other planets in the system, entered into a predominately stable orbit, though, with a few odd dance steps left over from its drunken headlong rush towards the Sun.
Mars eventually got over being cold-cocked by Faribiru. Venus on the other hand is still more than a little hot under the collar about getting knocked completely on her ass and spun around backward. (Rumor is, it was Venus who first started calling Faribiru Mercury) Though when questioned about it, the other planets deny any knowledge of who first started calling Faribiru Mercury.
And there you have it folks.
The Planet Mercury originated further out in the solar system, and due to an unexplained gravitational perturbation of the solar system, migrated inwards. In the process it struck both Mars and Venus glancing blows of varying degree.
When did this happen? About 65 million years ago. Oh, and yes. That meteorite that killed off the dinosaurs, yup, it was a fragment thrown off by the collision between Faribiru and Mars. And yes, the reason Venus has a retrograde ultra slow rotation and its surface is 900 degrees is from its collision with Faribiru.
Now, you can all tell your grandchildren how you heard ole Dorian Grey explain why Mercury has an eccentric orbit and why Venus is hotter than hell and rotates backwards (retrograde rotation). 50 to 75 years from now, this will be the standard accepted explanation for the inner solar systems oddities.

We shall see. Have Bill Kristol and his caustic band of NeverTrumpers killed the Weekly Standard?
ew York (CNN Business)The fate of The Weekly Standard, the conservative magazine that has staked out a position as a publication on the right still critical of President Donald Trump, is uncertain, Editor-in-Chief Stephen Hayes told staff in a series of phone calls Tuesday, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The magazine’s precarious position comes after its leadership spent months searching for a buyer, the people told CNN.
The people explained that The Weekly Standard’s leadership had butted heads with MediaDC, the current parent company of the magazine, and that the two parties had agreed to allow Hayes to search for a new owner.

Listed for sale at $75,000 for 15 acres.
1410 County Road 134
Wharton, TX 77488
Listing on Zillow, did not post a link as this place hates me posting more than one link.
Add $25,000 for a small single wide 400-500 sqft (I HATE the term “Tiny House” )
Also $6,000+ for a septic system, but to be honest with 11 acres of woods that is not a priority.
Another $6,000 for a well. Also that is not a priority as I could probably drive a sand point type shallow well into the ground there for washing etc and buy 5 gallon drinking water per week.
Electricity hookup should not be expensive as there are houses each side of the property.
The cleared 4.5 acres under the power lines would be ideal for growing plants to sell to plant selling places.
So for about $140,000 I could have a forever home!
Plus! it is less than an hour drive to central Houston.
What is even better is they are extending State Highway 59 in that direction and it will one day be Interstate 69 (something about Interstates being three lanes.
Take a risk??????

If it was a homestead there would be an exemption and I would just have to pay property tax on any little home and any other buildings I built, Maybe a small workshop. I would build a greenhouse but it would be a temporary structure without a concrete base.
I feel an ever so slight tingling sensation.
I think I am growing a root.

Actually, if Bill Kristol is the problem, I don’t know why the owners don’t just fire his ass.
@ Possum:
From the zillow history, it looks like someone has been trying to sell it for 6 yrs. I’d check into why it hasn’t sold.
Lucy agrees….

I’m still mulling over the re-ordering of the solar system and the migration outwards of the gas giants … and the two weird minor gas giants waaaay out the back that have some strange habits due most likely to the neighbourhood they frequent.

I think it may be the power line..
Or maybe no one sees the potential like I do.
I do not know, I can make land like that work, someone with a family maybe can’t.
WARNING….
Possum is becoming unstable.
He recently discovered he had a pension fund in the UK worth more money than he ever dreamed of.
The Possum can withdraw 25% tax free as a lump sum now.
LOL almost a quarter of a million dollars. And that still leaves over a half million dollars left in fund!
This really is not going to end well…
Or will it…
( Fucking crazy thing is that is a private pension, my UK Government pension starts in 4 years, and… so does my USA pension! )
Got to stay alive, one day I will be rich!

@ Gateway Pundit
The Republic is poorer today, Creepy Porn Lawyer will not run for president in 2020.
It is all because his family does not want him to , cough, cough!

I was just joking.
Recording an album can be quiet expensive. Just the recording aspect can easily run into the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. That isn’t even taking any of the other expenses into account. Graphics, replication, packaging, shipping, distribution, advertising.
And the odds of it recoving its investment is nearly impossible to predict. It is a high risk investment to say the least. More often than not (even for the big recording companies) the only way to recover the investment is by use of corporate tax schedules which allow the investor to claim 10 to 100 times the amount invested as a Net Operating Loss and write that off their other tax burdens.
One of the things that doomed my record company back in the 1990s was my unwillingness to risk other peoples money. When I finally did accept outside investments, it ended up costing me my company. Someone else had a significant financial stake in our decisions, and our recording losing money just happened to be far more profitable to them, then the company making money was.
Speaking of the recording business, Samantha Fish just launched her own record label called Wild Heart Records, because she apparently had some time to kill in between the 150 or so shows she plays each year. The first artist signed to the new label is Jonathon Long, and Sam both produced his debut album on the label and plays on several songs as a guest artist and singer.
Talking of talented musicians.
I worked for two bands in the UK part time as a sound engineer.
Do a sound test… Ask each musician to play something so I could get the levels correct.
Then when we went live in a venue it all went to ratshit.
Night I finally quit I had the liquor bottles bouncing on the shelves and then falling on the floor. LOL enhanced just the correct bass frequency.
Professional musicians know the rest of the crew is important.
They are.

You may feel perfectly free to ask coldwarrior to verify this. But I have told him at least a dozen times, every professional band out there considers their sound engineer/s to be part of the band. No matter how good you are as a musician, the person running your sound system can make or break your bands live performances.
I learned this the hard way back in the mid 80s. I split a gig with another band. We did the most amazing sound check. Outside venue. full crowd for the sound check. The other band did their
The other band was the headliner. So, we were forced to use their sound man. Our sound system, their engineers. When it came time for the actual show. Their engineers destroyed us by giving us the worst sound imaginable. This even though our engineer had showed them exactly how to do the sound for us.
Morale of the story. Never ever let the competition do your audio engineering.
As Alberta loses tens of thousands of oil industry jobs DUE DIRECTLY TO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT green agenda to destroy the West, PM Mr. Dressup does this:
“Modern prime ministers — well, one modern prime minister — don’t do it that way anymore. I don’t know if the PM has a Hashtags and Hipster Committee but it sure looks like that lately. For out of that Buenos Aires (sweet airs meets sunny days) assembly, launched on the taut wires of Twitter, came the following:
Hey @Trevornoah – thanks for everything you’re doing to celebrate Nelson Mandela’s legacy at the @GlblCtzn festival. Sorry I can’t be with you – but how about Canada pledges $50M to @EduCannotWait to support education for women & girls around the world? Work for you? Let’s do it.
Before getting to the novelty of using Twitter as a high-stakes cash dispensary, we should explain what GlblCtzn — apart from being vowel allergic — is. Essentially, it’s a latter-day version of the ’80s rock-star-infested Save the World/End World Hunger exhibitions. It is a gathering of the celebrity-elect (Beyonce was there) in one of their “giving something back” spasms. A lot of show, and lot of tell.”
What does it take for Canadians to buy a clue? Last one out won’t have any lights to bother to turn out.
More white privilege gets busted.
“MPs in South Africa have adopted a report on a proposed change to the constitution, which would allow land to be seized from white owners without compensation. An attempt to stop it in court failed last week.
On Tuesday, South African parliament approved a report which recommends changing the national constitution to allow the state to take privately-owned land without compensation as long as it is justified by public interest. Redistribution of land, supporters believe, would be beneficial to the South African public.
President Cyril Ramaphosa, who came to power in February, has made it a priority for the ruling African National Congress (ANC) to adopt a racially-loaded amendment to the country’s constitution. A small white minority owns most of the farmland in the former colony, and ANC insists that it’s a historic injustice that needs rectifying.
This is just one step in a lengthy legal process of changing the nation’s foundational law in accordance with Ramaphosa’s vision. The next would be drafting a bill enacting the constitutional amendment, followed by a period of public feedback before it can be put to a vote. Both chambers of the Parliament will then have to approve the bill before it is sent to the president for signing into law.”
