Oro y Mujeres!
When the Spaniards arrived in Peru, they had only two demands from the Inca: Oro y Mujeres. Gold and Women.
They got more than they requested from both. The gold they took back to Europe to pay for wars, and the silver they shipped to China to buy silk and porcelain. The women and their children were left in Peru, and they are still there.
The hunger for gold has only increased since then. It is trading today 5% higher than yesterday. People are selling bitcoin (especially those linked to paper currency) and buying gold and silver. The dollar is weakening and losing credibility, while gold is shining like always. Oro, I have none. Mujeres, I have no use for them. Sad, isn't it?

The Ill-fated French Revolution
The French Revolution paved the way for today's woke ideology. All human beings are equal and brothers. Freedom! The thing ruined France; there are fewer Frenchmen today than in 1779, and they are immersed in a frightful inundation of Africans and Arabs. The pox spread to England, and two centuries later, the Empire's civilizing enterprise is considered a great shame.
It rapidly led to the dissolution of the robust Jewish communities that had emerged from the dark Middle Ages, making it impossible to continue the effective survival strategies of solidarity and negotiation with the peoples and rulers around them. In pre-Revolution France, the Alsace Jews were oppressed yet rich and growing, and the Portuguese Jewish refugees had normalized their status and become very rich with tropical merchandise. After the "liberation", the ghettos and communities of Europe were dissolved, and the Jews achieved equal rights and assimilated. Nothing remains from the "old" European Jews, and the current population is newcomers from Eastern Europe and North Africa. If the French Revolution had been suffocated, there would be around 200 million French people today, and about 25 million European Jews (instead of half a million).

Large Concentration of Assets
America is concentrating an immense number of carrier strike groups, warplanes, refueling airplanes, and whatnot. I think there has never been such a military force in the Middle East theater.
At the Brink of Wars
" It's now happening. The existing fiat monetary order, the domestic political order, and the international geopolitical order are all breaking down, so we are at the brink of wars. It all is happening because of the Big Cycle that is driven by the five big forces" (sic) as described by Roy Dalio. I bought his book, with many case studies, studied them, but I didn't think I could use them.

Several studies have shown that, on average, leftists suffer more mental illness.

Winter Reflexions
Musk says that intelligence will have little advantage in the future, and it will be measured in Joules. Fortunately, I'll not be there to see.
BTW, A joule (J) is the standard SI unit of energy, work, or heat, defined as the energy. Joule was a self-educated British physicist who established the concept of energy:
1 Joule [J] = 1 Watt-second [Ws] = 1 V A s = 1 N m = 1 kg m2s−2.
Joule was the first to measure energy and demonstrated that it can be transferred, but it is always conserved.
I watched Rabbi Menachem Goldberg, and "he" is very convincing. It is an AI-made reel, obvious to any Jew because of the unreal synagogue background. It is publicity for a self-help book or something.
Bart Ehrman's lecture on understanding the Bible is excellent. Well structured. It makes one reflect on how very smart Jews spend their whole life studying this complicated nonsense and following absurd laws that are not even in the book. And they say they believe every word of it. Believing makes it easier to live.

Peak Readiness in Israel
“We are operating at peak readiness for a wide range of scenarios."
According to the IDF Spokesman, readiness has been reinforced across all fronts. “In recent weeks, we have strengthened capabilities and increased readiness along all borders."
We can see it in the streets. People are looking to Trump to decide on Ayatollah Ali.

Zalaegerszeg
My family escaped from Hungary during the winter of 1956. We took a train to a frontier town, Zalaegerszeg, and at midnight we walked to the Austrian side. It was dangerous. In Kaisersteinbrück, we were received by Austrians with hot chocolate, the first time in my life.
This week, after 80-something years, local Jews re-established the community and received a Torah Scroll from the Budapest community.

World Battle for Oil
Venezuela holds the world’s largest proven reserves. Under Maduro and sanctions, production collapsed from roughly three million barrels per day to under 800,000. The removal of Maduro and the installation of an American-aligned successor government opens the possibility of Venezuelan production rehabilitation at scale—a massive supply injection, sold at steep discounts to rebuild market shares, into a market already suffering from fears of oversupply and price volatility. Iran presents the same logic at an even greater magnitude. If the Islamic Republic falls amid the current protest wave and a successor regime normalizes with the West, Iranian production could return to four million barrels per day or more without sanctions constraints. Taken together, the normalization of both Venezuelan and Iranian output would structurally undermine OPEC+ leverage and place sustained downward pressure on prices, precisely when Saudi Arabia needs elevated revenues to fund its ambitious projects, which are already struggling, and defend its regional position in a time of intensified competition.
Saudi Arabia simply wants Iranian oil out of Western markets. A pariah Iran under sanctions is a gift to Saudi market share and pricing power. The current developments pose a long-term threat to oil rents, which makes Saudi Arabia's regional strategy possible in the first place. The Saudi pivot is also a hedge against an American-led reordering of global energy markets that Riyadh cannot predict or control.
Corolarium: If Trump liberates Venezuelan and Iranian oil, Saudia will suffer. Russia will suffer. American producers will suffer. Oil is very cheap these days. Cherchez la femme!
