A recent Princeton study analyzed over 20 years of voting and polling data and found that American voters have a "near-zero, statistically insignificant impact on public policy." So, if the US government doesn't represent the People, the obvious question becomes, "Does a political solution remain? Can we vote our way out of this, or is it too late already?" Join me as I seek to answer that question:

Things are about to get a lot worse, and everything that's happening right now seems to be happening by design. ➡️ Railroad CFO calling fuel prices something out of sci-fi ➡️ Truckers calling for a strike on October 1 over fuel costs ➡️ Farmers saying it may not be worth harvesting their crops Meanwhile, there's no real effort to stop the attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, to get the Strait of Hormuz reopened, or to get the Bab el-Mandeb Strait reopened. Full report: It's time to get prepared.

According to Joe Kent, even if the Iranian leadership wanted to make a deal with Trump, they simply cannot, because their population has become so galvanized. We killed their political and spiritual leader, members of his family, several moderates within their government, and then we bombed a girls' school. Unfortunately, oil markets cannot go on like this forever. Something will need to give. Full report:

My team recreated the broken necklace and puffed out shirt effect 6 times out of 6 using gel block tests and a 30-06 and a necklace comparable to the one Charlie Kirk was wearing that day. The explanation is that because fluids cannot be compressed when 2,000+ ft-lbs of force is suddenly dumped into a fluid environment, what you see instead is violent expansion. Note the shirt gyrations in our videos match those of CK's. The expansion happens in thousandths of a second, while typical video is in hundredths, causing all sorts of video artifacts. Our video below was shot at 460 fps and with strong lighting, allowing us to see things more clearly. Hope that helps.

The price of #gold is typically correlated with oil because gold is a hedge against inflation, and oil has a strong impact on the price of everything. What's strange is that the price of gold suddenly became negatively correlated with oil as soon as the Iran Conflict broke out. At the same time, gold began hemorrhaging out of the US. I happen to think a deal might have been made with China to import less oil (to keep the price down) in exchange for buying gold. Full report:

Joe Kent says it best: "The problem is, regardless of who you vote for, you get more wars in the Middle East, more deficit spending, more inflation, and you get your civil liberties eroded further." We have a one-party system, and it's become obvious that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are the answer. Full interview:

The fact that the SAVE Act can't get passed is another clue that we don't own our country right now. According to Jim Erdman, the voting piece is a fundamental fix that we've got to have, and it's very simple: In-person voting on a day, counted by the end of the day - that's it. Full report:

Some are saying, "That which can't be solved at the ballot box gets solved with the cartridge box," and people who say violence never solves anything have never read history. That said, Jim Erdman worries that some of the people calling for violence "don't really understand what real violence looks like." The question then becomes: How long does restraint last, and at what cost? Full interview:

Right now we have the worst of both worlds. Not only can Congress do nothing to punish the bad people they subpoena, but they can also do nothing to protect the good people who step forward. Congress's only lever of power is the purse, and it never gets used. ~Jim Erdman Full report:

Oil and gas prices in the US and Europe are about to explode higher, and it's not "just a temporary bump." I break it all down in this new video: ➡️ Why the US is still a net importer of actual crude oil (not the NGLs the EIA loves to lump in and call "petroleum") ➡️ How we're already maxed out on export logistics - those tankers can't load any faster ➡️ The massive 8+ million barrels/day shortfall from the Gulf that's not coming back anytime soon ➡️ Why all those "empty" oil tankers heading our way are about to pull product straight out of already-tight inventories This isn't about "we have more oil than the next two countries combined." It's about the right molecules, at the right time, for the right uses. Light shale stuff can't replace what refineries actually need. SPR draws won't save us. And the futures market is about to snap back to reality in a big way. Complexity matters. Get ahead of it while you still can. Discuss this with me over at Peak Prosperity:

How to explain the movements in CK's shirt and the bulges and such? Not perfect, but we recreated the shirt movements to our satisfaction due to cavitation in a ballistic gel dummy. I wish we'd had a ballistic gel dummy with bones inside....*sigh* But the principle remains: during a cavitation event, the non-compressible fluids of the body expand rapidly and transfer that momentum to the clothing. The fluids then collapse back extremely rapidly, but the shirt keeps doing whatever it needs to do to bleed off all that inertia. BONUS: We broke a chain with a cross on it 3 out of three experiments, replicating that 'feature' as well.

The Epstein files showed us that there are major wars, major investments, and world banking systems that are being discussed in a very casual way that seems like it's above the various governments of the world. Joe Kent doesn't think there's a single person, but that there is probably a network of folks who control a lot of different financial switches, who are working in some degree of loose coordination.

The US is not a net exporter of oil. The government lumps things like propane and butane in with oil so they can get away with calling us a net "petroleum" exporter. When it comes to just oil (the stuff that gives us gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel), the US imports more than it exports. Full interview:

If Epstein wasn't running a blackmail ring, then Kash Patel and Pam Bondi need to account for why Leon Black (one of the founders of Apollo Global Management) paid out $170 million to Epstein after a probe found evidence it was for funding Epstein's trafficking network.
