If the work performed by a single barrel of oil is worth orders of magnitude more than its price, what does it say about the systems we have built on top of it?

If energy is the invisible labor force underlying every product and service in your life, does that change the way you see the economy?

VIDEO | "We have flattened the entire first line of villages in southern Lebanon, all the houses have been destroyed. The residents will never see them standing ever again." In a stark acknowledgment of systemic ethnic cleansing, Israeli War Minister Israel Katz boasted on Friday that the Israeli military has completely obliterated the entire first tier of Lebanese border villages. Framing the mass destruction as a permanent "security zone", Katz explicitly declared that the 200,000 displaced Lebanese residents "are not returning."

التقطت العدسات في غزة واحداً من أكثر المشاهد مأساويةً في هذا العصر. أبٌ جريح يحمل على كتفيه طفله الذي قطّعت إسرائيل أطرافه بلا رحمة.

In loving memory of the children in this video, cold-bloodedly murdered by Israel. They are among the approximately 22000 children Israel has slaughtered in about two year.

Remember those horrific pictures of Jews liberated from Auschwitz? This isn't one. This is a Palestinian man released after 26 months of Israeli "administrative detention." No charge. No trial. No legal rights. "Never again" sounds noble. It just turns out it was never meant to apply to everyone. The Israeli government currently holds roughly 3,500 Palestinians under this system, and has issued more than 100,000 such detention orders since 1967. October 7th wasn't the start of this. It was a reaction to it. Why don't we hear anything about this?

It was in this palace in June of 1919 that the President of Germany Gustav Bauer signed the treaty of surrender and agreed to pay restitution to the allies. Trump is clueless as to what he just did.
French President Emmanuel Macron pulls off what could be the greatest diplomatic troll of all time by getting Trump to sign the "$300 Billion US Surrender to Iran" deal in... Versailles. The ignoramus Trump will have been clueless as to the historical significance of the location

👑🔥 AGAIN A WOMAN‼️ A QUEEN THAT STANDS UP. Spanish MEP Irene Montero just torched the room in Strasbourg. While EU leaders posture and celebrate, she looked them dead in the eye and asked: What exactly are we celebrating? Prevented a genocide in Gaza? Stopped the illegal US-Israeli aggression on Iran? Broke relations with Israel? Ended the occupation of Lebanon? No. We cannot celebrate any of these things. Then she dropped the line that’s echoing across the internet: “Happy Birthday, Mr. Genocide.” aimed straight at Trump. The men in suits stayed silent or complicit. She spoke. Thank you, @IreneMontero. Thank you, Spain 🇪🇸. This is what moral courage looks like when institutions choose cowardice. – at Minneapolis, MN

It is time to end this war. But Russia’s ruler wants to keep fighting. That is why Ukrainian sanctions against this aggression are working. Last night, our drones covered a distance of about 1,000 kilometers to the St. Petersburg region – to the enemy navy’s arsenals and a base in Kronstadt. Our long-range sanctions also reached about 500 kilometers into the Krasnodar region – and hit an oil depot. These are important results of the joint efforts by warriors from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine. Russia must end its war and stop its attacks on life. Any manifestation of injustice against Ukraine will receive a just response. I thank our warriors for their precision.

This is a clip that is so on point it may be very uncomfortable for some to watch. However, the Chinese man featured in the clip is saying out loud what I have written about at length and many academics have articulated. You’ll have to excuse the captions which struggles with his Chinese accent, but that doesn’t detract from the message. 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNRvrJY5C/

This is INSANE. AIPAC controls 76% of the members of Congress, regardless of which party they belong to. There’s def a uniparty, but it looks much different than I could have ever imagined. I NEVER looked or paid attention to any of this until they took out Thomas Massie.
Replying to @FmrRepMTG
So under full AIPAC control, the AIPAC controlled Senate can’t pass the Save America Act for election integrity. AIPAC needs to be able to steal seats, like Thomas Massie's, ensuring they keep the super majority in Congress.

LINDSEY GRAHAM: “I go back to S.C. and I’m asking them to send their sons and daughters over to the Middle East. To all the isolationists: I’m not with you, I’m with Israel. God bless Israel. We should move all of our stuff to Israel.” He actually said this on live television.
