Lookie here… The United Arab Emirates recently announced it would quit OPEC after nearly six decades, striking a major blow to the oil cartel and to Saudi Arabia, its unofficial leader. Let’s be clear, the UAE didn’t leave OPEC. They were bought out. You may recall that this event was […]
Kind of scary, isn’t it? But wait, there is more, as they say in cheap commercials selling steak knives. Have you ever heard of super phosphate? Oh, the mere mention of it reminds me of the good old days on the farm in New Zealand all those years ago. Spreading […]
Wow, 2026 is off to a spicy start. Civil war is brewing in the US as ICE agents run amok and Americans face the cold hard reality that their “rights” don’t mean “isht.” Trump’s support base is collapsing as MAGA increasingly realize they’ve been conned (again), and the deep state […]
The relationship between energy consumption and national wealth is one of history’s most consistent patterns. From coal-fired Britain to oil-powered America to today’s renewable energy leaders, access to abundant, affordable energy has been the foundation of economic prosperity. This correlation isn’t coincidental — it’s mechanical. Energy powers industry, transportation, communication, […]
The US equity market is a bubble. Here is why: In my mind, to be defined as a “bubble” the potential for a sudden “pop” needs to be there. No matter how you define it, the probability of an extremely large drawdown in the S&P 500 has exponentially increased in […]

This bias stems from centuries of warfare taking a particular form, similar to how people once couldn’t conceive of light […]
Recently, globalist puppet Keir Starmer unabashedly told citizens that their right to work — and therefore to live — will depend on their using a digital ID. Bukele’s response is both accurate and chilling. The long-planned rollout of digital ID, first set in motion with the Covid scam, will be […]
Let’s briefly touch on risk. There are different types of risks, and I like to say that risk CANNOT be eliminated — only managed. Keep that in mind as we go through the types of risks. Financial Risk and Concentration: The Systemic Danger Concentration in financial systems creates elevated risk […]
It’s back on track. I don’t know if you remember it, but last year I hypothesized that the Trump administration would focus their attention on a North/South axis of power… and less on an East/West. Part of this is down to the fact the US Military is stretched globally, and […]
Boy, oh boy are things… um… interesting. I almost miss the days of green-haired teenage girls with hairy armpits gluing themselves to the road to make the weather better. Now we have craziness at the international trade level. At its core, it’s all politics. The now dead George Carlin had […]
