Johnny I may have missed this somewhere above but here it is. Close your mouth and humm. Try different pressures from easy to hard. Try also cupping your hands over your ears while you humm. See if you feel those vibrations you're after. Let us know the results.
The Keystone XL pipeline was never operational when it was shut down, and was not slated to go into service until 2023 so how has its closure managed to affect the price of gas?
Since 2019 the US has Exported circa 1.10 Billion barrels of oil per year.
The onus is on the US to release oil from the strategic reserves because of the world shortage due to Putin's war. Since March they are releasing 1 million barrels per day. That's 180 million barrels, most of which stays in the US. Any additional oil exported from this source is insignificant.
Why would the US buy oil at inflated prices to replenish the reserves when it would be impractical, and it is needed to supply the world market.
Oil with a high sulphur content is not wanted in the US so this is exported to countries that can refine it.
These are facts which can be found on the web.
This is a response to a world economic crisis due to war, to suggest anything else is unrealistic.
If you're impatient like me go to 1 hr 15 minutes. I had about 5 experiences like that with asphalt, but I never managed to deflect the earth, I gave up trying.
Paid off the mortgage and got rid of some ties and expenses. Played golf most days for a year. Took up some new hobbies. Then like what the kids were doing I grabbed a rucksack and headed off for a year. Haven't looked back, not enough hours in the day.
There's a teacher in prison for contempt of court arising from an instance of being ordered but refused to use the words "they / them" in relation to a child who identified as something other than "he". He (the teacher) was suspended but turned up to teach and the school management took him to court. (Maybe my wording is not 100%accurate.)
It may be that Classification status doesn't matter.
Extract:
The Espionage Act of 1917 — one of the laws cited in the search warrant — protects secrets that it defines as defense-related information that could harm the United States or aid a foreign adversary. It makes no reference to classification status, and prosecutors in an Espionage Act case do not need to prove that anything was deemed classified.
I'd say not. Why would you send her off like that when she'd be safe in the palace. I wouldn't, and who's to know anyway. I actually think it would be disrespectful.
Don't forget the travelling troublemakers, they are usually known to authouities and will be removed when they misbehave. Surely this is a public service.
Crown, the significant point is that Putin was able to trade security and protection to African presidents for access to gold. He has managed to amass enough gold to link the Rouble to gold which has given it credibility and reversed the slide. This year smuggled gold has most likely been kept off the books and used to finance the war. For this reason and others Sanctions are not working. By the way China seems to have lost it's influence on african countries recently. African presidents took the investments and now are turning elsewhere, giving China the cold shoulder. Remember this happened with Ukraine shunning Putin, that didn't end well.
You left out the most important continent in terms of resource value and potential. The one which is the most desired and which has been plundered for centuries by every significant other country in the world. Perhaps you would like to tell us how this continent manages to prevail in the context of your blog. It's significance in today's political climate is extremely important if not pivotal.
Who knows but here's some background. Back in the 80's his business empire was heading for bankruptcy and no American bank would loan him money so he went to Russia where he negotiated loans on favourable terms. Ever since then Russians have had significant dealings with him. How the balance of debt stands nobody knows but it's safe to say that an enormous favour was done. The question is has it been repaid, and if so, how? If not paid then there is a problem. Russian debts always get paid, somehow. Also Junior became involved prior to 2016, we know that, but not the extent of it.
If you're wondering why I posted that here it's because there is only one person capable of reversing the sanctions and if he can show that he is willing to do it and can do it he might just be back in the White House in January. Liz Truss will follow suit the following day and the EU will be left with no other option. Already Putin has permanently closed NS1 and is going to ban wheat exports to some countries. Better to end this now. Somebody tell Trump.
I recommend that the US, EU and UK now cease the imposition of sanctions on Russia. Firstly they are not serving the intended purpose. Secondly the damage being caused to the world economies has by now surpassed that caused to Ukraine. Thirdly there is no perceivable positive outcome to come from supporting Ukraine. This sounds harsh but practically speaking there is nothing to be gained by continuing with sanctions. To understand this you need to understand the Russian sentiment. The bottom line is that they would go as far as destroying themselves rather than back down and let you win. This is a fact.

Sounds like a stretch of the imagination. Have you any evidence?
