Oil’s Perfect Storm Lays At Trump’s Feet
Oil’s Perfect Storm Lays At Trump’s Feet It’s becoming painfully clear that the way forward for global oil markets is going to be bumpy, very bumpy, particularly as we head into next year.

Silicon Valley Will Not Save You from the Surveillance State

Saudi Arabia was supposed to pump almost 14 mb/d in 2018 We have to dig a little bit into history to see the context of this remarkable tweet whereby we have to switch between events and later, delayed analysis with the benefit of hindsight. 10 years ago GW Bush visited Saudi Arabia: Fig 2: Sword […]
America First, Helsinki, and Trump’s Existential Threat to the Empire
America First, Helsinki, and Trump’s Existential Threat to the Empire The major – perhaps only – redeeming virtue of the Donald’s ersatz campaign platform was his clear intent to seek a rapprochement with Russia, revamp America’s commitments to NATO and other cold war relics and to discard “Regime Change” as the core tenant of foreign […]
The Punishment of Nemesis
The Punishment of Nemesis “Heraclitus, the inventor of the notion of the constant change of things, nevertheless set a limit to this perpetual process. This limit was symbolized by Nemesis, the goddess of moderation and implacable enemy of the immoderate.” A story that gets repeated over and again – hybris. Certain stories recur in the […]

Many Trump Supporters Now Cheering For The Deep State Over WikiLeaks And Iran
Many Trump Supporters Now Cheering For The Deep State Over WikiLeaks And Iran I just want to briefly document some of the ways I’m seeing the 2015/2016 anti-establishment sentiment of Trump’s base being hijacked and re-routed into supporting some highly conspicuous pro-establishment interests this year. In 2016 and 2017, much of the anti-establishment sentiment on what […]
Saudi Arabia Won’t Bring 2 Million Bpd Online
Saudi Arabia Won’t Bring 2 Million Bpd Online President Trump said in a tweet on Saturday that Saudi Arabia agreed to boost oil production by 2 million barrels per day (mb/d), a claim that surely came as news to the Saudis. ✔ Just spoke to King Salman of Saudi Arabia and explained to him that, […]
The Official Fake News
The Official Fake News Emmanuel Macron, who was comfortably elected to the presidency with the support of almost the entire French media, has demanded that his parliamentary majority provide him with a law against ‘fake news’ during election campaigns.

Turkey and India Have Leverage in Trump’s Iran Sanction War
Turkey and India Have Leverage in Trump’s Iran Sanction War Both India and Turkey have said they will defy President Trump’s call for them to stop buying Iranian oil once the U.S. reapplies sanctions in November. That isn’t really news. Both of them defied the Obama administration in 2012, albeit in different way. Turkey changed its […]
