Three Extraordinary Interviews

This week, three remarkable interviews were broadcast: Nancy Pelosi sat down with the BBC; Larry Sinclair sat down with Tucker Carlson; and Jacob Chansley sat down with Stephen Gardner. 

Nancy Pelosi needs no introduction, although you might not recognise her under all that Botox. She uploaded her sit-down with the BBC’s HARDtalk programme to her YouTube channel, which boasts fewer than 17 thousand subscribers, not a lot for a woman who was so powerful and did so much damage to her country.

She was asked a few hard questions but nothing about the Russian collusion hoax or any of the other scams the Democrats pulled off in the past few years. She refused to speak about Donald Trump by name although she did gush praise for Joe Biden saying he would run again in 2024, and oh, what a splendid job he has been doing running the country. Such as…? Opening the southern border and allowing the country to be swamped by millions of illegals to such an extent that even black Democrats in Chicago and New York have had enough. Then there was the Afghanistan debacle, the war on American industry, including on small businesses, turning America into even more of a police state, just that for starters. This woman really is delusional.

Her most outrageous comment, alluding to Donald Trump, was that no one is above the law. As Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch has pointed out, Trump has for years been below the law while criminal Democrats break the law with impunity yet are never held to account. How did you get so rich, Nancy?

The Tucker interview with Larry Sinclair can be found on Twitter, or X as it is now to be called. Sinclair is the out homosexual who claimed to have smoked crack with then Senator Obama and performed a sex act on him. At the time, this claim was dismissed, but recently it was revealed that when he was much younger, Obama wrote a letter in which he said he fantasised about having sex with men. Most of us fantasise about doing things to men, and women, at times, that are far worse than engaging in perverted sex. If a guy rips you off big time don’t you just fantasise about ripping his head off? Fantasies are just that, fantasies.

Also recently, Obama’s chef was killed in a bizarre drowning accident, and this has led to all manner of wild speculation. Then there are the dorks who have long claimed Michelle Obama is really a man. Dude, the lady works out, get real.

How much credence should be given to Sinclair’s claims? Tucker and the man himself played down his criminal record, but in 2008, Politico pointed out that he had an extensive criminal history including for fraud and deception. Does that mean he must be lying? Of course not, one is reminded of the Jeffrey Archer affair in which he was accused by a prostitute of having paid her for sex. Archer sued a tabloid newspaper for defamation and won a massive judgment, but a decade later the truth came out.

Having said that, whatever we may think of prostitutes, a professional con-man with Sinclair’s antecedents is a lot lower down the food chain, so his allegations should be dismissed without very strong corroboration. We should also remember that bad as Obama was, especially in his second term, the only alternative to him in 2008 was McCain, a neocon warmonger who would have set the Middle East or even the entire world on fire, so we should be grateful for small mercies.

Jacob Chansley is by far the most interesting of the three interviewees. Jake is of course the so-called QAnon Shaman. If you ignore what he says about the Kennedy assassination, ley lines, and Nikola Tesla, this is a man who makes sense because he understands both the nature of power and what Mankind must do to throw off its shackles. Our biggest problem he says is a bloated bureaucracy that wields real power making decisions and in effect laws that have been delegated to it by politicians. In the United States, this includes agencies like the CDC and of course the ATF, then there are the executive orders Biden has been throwing around like confetti.

Chansley also gave an insight into what really happened in the Capitol on January 6, 2021, something that is corroborated by the CCTV that Tucker previously released, and which is believed to be the reason for his parting company with Fox News.

Now here is a thought, what if Chansley and a few more like him were to run for office? 

Russia managed to push through the western oil price ceiling

By Olga Samofalova

Russia has been selling its Urals grade crude oil above the sanctions price ceiling for two months now. However, the West it appears is in no hurry to adjust their sanctions policy, although it initially threatened to do so every two months. The US and Europe are not silent for a reason. Its that they do not want to admit that their sanctions against Russia again are not working. How does Russian oil manage to get around these bans and still replenish the Russian budget?
Since July, Russia has been selling its oil, as well as fuel oil and diesel, above the sanctions price ceiling, but the US and the G7 are silent about this and appear are in no hurry to adjust the ceiling.

Four people familiar with G7 policy told Reuters that the US and G7 members have no immediate plans to change the sanctions scheme. Although some EU countries were interested in a revision, but the desire of large Western economies, of course, is more important. The lobby of the upcoming UN General Assembly later this month could serve as an informal price negotiating platform, the agency said.

However, analysts doubt that the West will change anything further. When Western countries introduced their price ceiling for Russian oil and oil products, they promised to study the dynamics every two months and revise the price ceiling in order to prevent Russia from earning from their oil sales.

In December 2022, the European Union and the G7 countries introduced a price limit for oil from Russia – it cannot be sold above $60 per barrel. However, in July 2023, the average price of Russian Urals grade crude was higher – $64.37 per barrel, and in August it reached $74 per barrel, the Finance Ministry said . “The grade of our ESPO oil and Sakhalin grades have never been below $60 per barrel even during the ceiling. That is, the sanctions have never worked against this grade of oil,” notes Igor Yushkov, a leading analyst at the Russian Financial University and the National Energy Security Fund.

“The sale of Urals oil above the price ceiling is possible due to the significant increase in world oil prices, in principle, which is largely due to the actions of Saudi Arabia and Russia within OPEC+ to reduce oil exports. And also by solving most of the problems with oil transportation, which can be seen from the significantly reduced freight rates,” says Philip Muradyan, senior director for corporate ratings at the Expert RA agency.

The West thought its sanctions would work like this: the world fleet would not carry Russian oil, which costs more than $60 a barrel, so Russia would have to adhere to a price ceiling and its export earnings would fall. However, in practice, everything got out of the West’s ‘control.

JPMorgan: de-dollarization will go a different way

By Sergey Manukov

The biggest threat to America from de-dollarization, according to JPMorgan, is not so much the appearance of a competitor’s currency, but the loss of Washington’s main weapon with which it fought economic and financial crises in the past. The dollar helped Western central banks use monetary and fiscal measures during crises, and as the dollar’s leading position weakens, the effectiveness of these measures will decline.

The main danger of de-dollarization for the United States was revealed in an analytical note by a group of economists from one of the largest American banks, led by Marko Kolanovic. The authors of the analysis believe that in the process of de-dollarization, it is unlikely that developing countries will suddenly stop using the dollar and replace it with some other currency. The main risk of the loss of dominance by the dollar is associated with inflation and debt obligations of Western economies.

“Imported (to the West) through trade with the East and South, deflation, outsourcing of the least profitable segments of the economy, the transfer of trade surpluses into US assets, and domestic energy dependence (the “shale” revolution in the US) have historically been key components of the dominance of the US dollar in the global financial system, “Imported deflation and demand for debt has allowed Western central banks to successfully navigate all recent economic crises through a combination of monetary and fiscal measures,” JPMorgan said in a research note.

However, in the future, as world economies separate from each other or enter into direct conflicts against the backdrop of rising energy prices, these measures will lose their effectiveness. Potentially, this will lead to higher inflation and a debt spiral for the West, the authors of the study warn.

Germany delivers sobering missile update to Ukraine

Deliveries of Taurus rockets “is not something that can be done quickly,” Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has said

Ukraine should not hope for expedited deliveries of Berlin’s long-range missiles, which it has been requesting for months, as such a step should be extremely well thought-out, Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said in an interview on Friday.

Speaking to the Funke media group, Baerbock pointed out that the delivery of Taurus missiles “is not something that can be done quickly.” As with the Leopard tanks and IRIS-T air defense systems that Germany has already sent to Ukraine, “every detail has to be worked out beforehand.”

The minister nonetheless described Kiev’s request for missiles that carry a 500-kilogram warhead and have a range of about 500 kilometers as “more than understandable,” explaining that Ukraine needs to hit Russian supply lines in the rear to make progress on the battlefield.

When asked whether Germany could reprogram its missiles to prevent Ukraine from targeting Russian territory, Baerbock said that “other partners also have similar questions and found solutions.”

Germany repeats objection to long-range missiles for Ukraine

While Ukraine has already received long-range missiles from the UK and France, which it has used to attack civilian infrastructure in Donbass and Crimea – Germany has so far been reluctant to join the effort. Explaining this stance, Chancellor Olaf Scholz has said that Ukrainian attacks deep into Russia could trigger a major escalation, while other officials in Berlin pointed out that the US has also been unwilling to make a similar commitment.

Last month, however, Der Spiegel reported that Scholz was in talks with arms manufacturer MBDA regarding possibly modifying the Taurus to include a target-programming limitation. Around the same time, Ukrainian MP Egor Chernev claimed that key German parliamentary factions had “reached a consensus” on delivering Taurus missiles.

The German public, however, does not seem inclined to support the delivery, according to several polls. A recent ARD-DeutschlandTrend survey put support for the shipments of long-range missiles to Ukraine at just 36%, with 52% strongly opposed.

Russia has repeatedly warned the West against supplying arms to Kiev, arguing that it only prolongs this conflict. Commenting on discussions about sending long-range weapons to Ukraine, Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said such a move would result in “another round of spiraling tension” in the Ukraine conflict.
