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 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:

Oil jumped from $80 to $120 in 2022 when the world thought 3 million barrels of Russian oil might come off the market. The current energy crisis is inarguably far worse. If the price does not dramatically increase, we are simply going to burn through all our supply. Full interview:

People say it doesn't matter if the Strait of Hormuz is closed because the US has Venezuela's oil now, but this doesn't hold up to scrutiny. It would take over $100 billion and 5 years to ramp up flow, but we don't have years - we have months. Full interview:

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:

This is profound. Russia has turned from a massive net exporter of diesel, jet fuel, and gasoline, and is becoming an importer. It's no longer creating supply for the world; it's now creating demand. The energy crisis is worse than you've been told. Full report:

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.

Gasoline inventories in the US are at their lowest levels in 10 years, and quickly heading lower, because we're artificially suppressing US oil prices and exporting it all over the world. Unless they allow prices to rise and curb demand, we could be hitting "tank bottom" in early July. Full report:

I've been warning for months that this was going to be one of the biggest economic catastrophes in history. With the Strait of Hormuz closed for months, oil prices should have gone a lot higher than they did. Because they didn't, the world drew down its stockpiles to dangerously low levels. The US simply had no good options left, so it had to make a deal, even if Iran got nearly all of their demands. Full report:

If we do a responsible drawdown of our Strategic Petroleum Reserve, we have until October 4 before the U.S. runs out of oil. If the Department of War minimums are observed (which allocates 243 million barrels for military-use only), then we only have until July 10. Full report:

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.

I read through a 123-page report on the Strategic Petroleum Reserve so you wouldn't have to. They began filling it in 1975, and it is now at a level not seen since 1983 during the initial fill. The question is: how low can it go? In this thread, I walk you through how the SPR could run out anytime between July 10 and October 4. 🧵Scroll down for the details! Click here for the full report:
