As of the week ending June 12, 2026, the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) held approximately 340.25 million barrels of crude oil… Sounds like a lot, but it is approaching the danger zone.
Now the zionist loving US legislators have to pick between acting on behalf of the US which is their “obligation” or supporting Israel which is “treason”!
What do you think about a legal aid organization advancing human rights by creation of an independent Palestinian judicial body. The proposed body would be established for Palestinians, consisting of Palestinian legal professionals, and judges to conduct trials on those who committed genocide upon Palestine. The Palestinian judicial body would conduct trials consistent with internationally recognized legal principles like the Nurenburg and Dachau trials of Nazis.
I now more fully understand the importance of keeping the US SPR storage areas--the 4 caverns--at high(er) levels.
I stll had questions: Where does the crude oil we use come from? If our SPR is way too low, can't more oil be extracted from our ground? Can't we purchase more oil from Canada and Mexico? Why not decrease our exports of oil?
I obviously do not know enough about the whole process of acquiring the right kind of oil for our refineries to turn it into the fuels we need. I found an article and an included 15-minute video that taught me more. I recommend both to you:
Larry I heard you say on Nima's Dialogue that India would not be at G7, but last year India & Mexico were guests (and always Zelensky.) In 2026 they invited more BRICS!
This year they had 9 Guest Nations: Brazil, Egypt, India, Kenya, Qatar, South Korea, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, European Union. Saudi Arabia was invited but chose not to attend.
You know, call me crazy, I prioritize keeping my family in food clothing, and shelter above providing Lebensraum for Israel, who is not defending itself, but pursuing its fever dream of Greater Israel.
I am also trying to understand how this epic train wreck occurred. How many intelligence agencies do we have, exactly? Could not one of them have figured out, beforehand, that Iran would seize, and hold, the Strait of Hormuz after the conflict broke out, and the longer the conflict lasted the closer the world's economy, the entire world's economy, would fall off off the proverbial cliff into a depression? Did not one of high powered military advisors surrounding the president not inform him of the facts of life concerning Iran, Hormuz, and the fragility of the world's economy if the Strait's were closed? And if one of them gave the president sound military advice, and he ignored it, why didn't he resign, go to the country and say we are about to shoot ourselves in the foot? Those with genuine insight realized we lost this war during the first week.
Then there are questions of even greater importance, as we approach our 250 anniversary. Is the Spirit of 1776 among us alive or dead? If alive, barely, then we have a mountain of work to do restore constitutional government. Only in monarchies can one man take a country to war. One man, one man alone, took our country to war against Iran, at the behest of the leader of a foreign country, a leader who is a master at manipulating Americans. There was no declaration of war, what a quaint thought. Heavens, there was no national discussion, at all, none. The Iranian cluster is proof, though none is needed, that our founders were absolutely correct to reserve war declarations to Congress. One single, solitary individual does not possess the competence to take a free nation to war. If the American people are not deeply invested in a war, they will shortly check out, and the war effort will immediately go south, in a heartbeat. Yes, decisions to wage war are deeply fraught. But if there is no overwhelming consensus, the default position must be NO. We will survive. The Atlantic and Pacific Oceans render us remarkably secure. We would not have missed a damn thing if we had not gone to war in Vietnam, Iraq, nor participated in the twenty year cluster in Afghanistan. We would not have missed a beat if we had not participated in George the Younger's endless interventions in the Middle East under the rubric of the Global War on Terror. You defend the United States by defending the United States, not by running amok.
So, let's end our addiction to presidential wars. Congress, it is well past time for you all to claw back your Article One powers. Stop giving your selves pathetic excuses for your fecklessness.
Hence, the conspiracy theory that both the Ukraine war and the Third Gulf War were launched to destroy the European economy and relocate its remaining wealth to the US. Destroy oil infrastructure in the ME to wait for some other days to be taken over by either Israel or the US. Hurt Russia through bleeding. Hurt China by strangling its raw material supplies to interrupt China's economic transition and finalize China's capital flight to the US.
The next step, if the US can manage that while juggling two or more balls already, is to provoke China into taking the risky step of seizing Taiwan by force. Whether China is successful or not in taking Taiwan, the US will be able to interrupt China's longer-term economic change. TSMC-Taiwan and related industries will be bombed before China takes over. Japan will be scared into obeying the US even more. With China and Taiwan's economy severely damaged and Japan's economy forced into more military spending, that is again a reason for capital flight to the US. As long as worldwide capital is dominantly inside the US, the USD hegemony can be maintained, and hence the US military and the Zionists have infinite money to spend on whatever they like.

Excellent article as always Larry. Looking forward to speaking to you about it in our interview today.

13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
Proverbs 3:13-16 KJV
Thank you for sharing your article Larry. As Proverbs 3:13-15 puts it, wisdom and understanding are more valuable than gold or rubies.
Appreciate you sir. God bless.
