What Is Inevitable

 Unsure What's Next,


  The Honest Sorcerer,  So This is How the Oil Age Ends,  Not with a bang but a whimper… Then a boom?
​  The age of oil ends when new oil becomes too expensive for buyers to buy, and at the same time too costly for producers to extract — not when a suitable replacement is found and deployed at scale. Recent data from S&P Global shows that oil​ &​ gas capital investment costs have surged to new heights globally, even as the price of oil has plunged to depths not seen in many years with no demand rise in sight. What follows will be anything but a “sustainable, diversified, and more resilient global energy system” — rather a dislocation lasting decades into the future.​   https://thehonestsorcerer.substack.com/p/so-this-is-how-the-oil-age-ends

Working for a private entity, state troopers are using unmarked cars to arrest homeless people in downtown Nashville.​   
​  NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - On May 9, Michael Lambert was determined not to be arrested again.
The homeless man, sitting on Lower Broadway, hoping to attract donations with a humorous sign about his dog sitting beside him, abruptly stood up.
​  WSMV4 Investigates watched as another man, wearing a bright yellow shirt reading, “Downtown Ambassador,” leaned in to talk to Lambert.
After the man walked away, we approached Lambert.
​  “What did he say to you?” asked WSMV4 Investigates.
“He told me I couldn’t sit, I had to stand up,” Lambert replied.​  Lambert knew better than to argue.​

  Gilbert Doctorow,  Russia-Ukraine War - White House Confirms Donald Trump Was Not Informed About The Attack
​  There can be little doubt that the USA and Britain were active in the planning and for some time in the implementation stages of Spider Web. Most likely Britain was a participant right up to the launch of the attack.
​  The operation took advantage of the vulnerability of the Russian bombers out in the open that was mandated by the New SALT arms limitation treaty. The Russians have suspended their participation in that treaty but pledged not to violate its terms. Clearly, they kept to their word. And equally clearly the USA under Biden egregiously violated the treaty by enabling the Ukrainian attack on those jets.
​  If I were Vladimir Putin, which I am not, I would say to the States that there can be no talks, no extensions or new treaties on arms limitation until and unless the USA and Britain admit to their foul play and pay compensation for the damaged jets. We will see in the immediately coming days what Putin actually does to exact a price from Russia’s enemies.​

  John Helmer, What Is Putin To Do Now?​  
​  A well-informed Russian military source says Putin has decided not to retaliate for the moment. The launch of the Oreshnik is unlikely now, the source believes; perhaps later “only if there is certainty that Trump will not deliver. But [now] maybe a measured one [strike] to help him focus.”
​  The source explains Putin’s decision-making. “The political functionaries [Kremlin, Foreign Ministry] have their focus on the Memorandum  and expect it will be signed. Now we wait for Trump to deliver. Rubio sent [Senator Lindsey] Graham to [Vladimir] Zelensky to accept it.  He talks best with Zelensky.  Our side has some more patience before replying to the ‘terror attacks’ [sarcastic laughter]. This is because all the assurance we have from the Americans is that the outcome of discussions will be positive. A Russian military response of large proportions can wait. We have patience. It will happen if [emphasis] Trump will not deliver Ukraine on Memorandum-1.”
​  Putin confirmed this at a meeting on Wednesday afternoon with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and other officials. Putin did so by ignoring the Ukrainian attacks on the five nuclear bomber airfields. Focusing only on the bridge and railway attacks in Kursk and Bryansk, he called them “a targeted strike against civilians, and for all international standards such actions are called terrorism. All crimes that were committed in relation to civilians, including women and children, on the eve of the next round the proposed peace talks in Istanbul were certainly aimed at disrupting the negotiation process. [This was a] strike on the civilian population intentionally. This only confirms our fears that the illegitimate regime in Kiev, which once it had seized power, has gradually degenerated into a terrorist organization, and its sponsors become Accomplices of terrorists.”
​  Lavrov responded at the meeting, also by avoiding explicit mention of the airfield strikes: “Despite all this, Vladimir Vladimirovich, and despite the new major criminal provocations in the last few days, I would consider it important not to succumb to these provocative actions, clearly aimed at disrupting negotiations and continuing to receive weapons from European countries.”
​  Russian retaliation, it has been decided and now announced publicly, waits on the Trump Administration to respond to the Russian terms which have been tabled in Istanbul. Read Sections I, II, and III of the Russian Memorandum here.  
​  Over the 72 hours since the Kiev regime claimed credit for planning and executing the successful attack on Russia’s nuclear bomber fleet, Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of Defense Peter Hegseth have kept silent.​

​  Trump Breaks Silence On Brazen Ukraine Drone Op In Lengthy Putin Call
After two days of deafening silence from the White House on Ukraine's Sunday massive drone assault, dubbed 'Operation Spider's Web' - which took out many key Russian aircraft, including long-range strategic bombers and likely even Russia's extremely rare A-50 Radar Plane - President Trump has finally reacted publicly.
​  The president revealed he has held a phone call with President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, which significantly lasted about an hour and fifteen minutes. Trump warned that peace is not very close on the horizon and that the two leaders covered several pressing issues in their conversation.
​  "We discussed the attack on Russia’s docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides." Trump went on to call it a good conversation, however "not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace."
​  That's when Trump clarified that "President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields."
​  The Russian leader's words are consistent with Dmitry Medvedev's ominous words issued the day prior, wherein the deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, said "retribution is inevitable". Medvedev had warned of what's coming:​  "Our Army is pushing forward and will continue to advance. Everything that needs to be blown up will be blown up, and those who must be eliminated will be."​ ...
..President Trump did not have foreknowledge of the Ukrainian cross-border operation. (But did US intelligence? very likely so.)
​  The fresh Truth Social statement was further taken up with Iran. "I stated to President Putin that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and, on this, I believe that we were in agreement. President Putin suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran and that he could, perhaps, be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion," he wrote.
​  The US President concluded, "It is my opinion that Iran has been slowwalking their decision on this very important matter, and we will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time!"​

​  RT interview: “'Zelensky won’t be around long enough for his opinions to matter' — Professor Gilbert Doctorow”
  I gave an interview to RT which focused on the outcome of the negotiations in Istanbul earlier in the day between Russian and Ukrainian delegations. Those talks ended in a major achievement with respect to exchange of ailing prisoners of war, to POWs under age 25 and to exchange of the bodies of those who fell in enemy territory and were left behind by their comrades. These exchanges will bring great joy to the relatives of the live POWs and will bring closure and financial compensation to the relatives of the fallen. However, as regards the main reason for the parleys, exchange of memoranda on the respective Ukrainian and Russian visions of the end-game and a comprehensive peace treaty, what we know of the memoranda indicates that the sides are very far apart. In essence, each of the warring parties is demanding that the other side capitulate.​   https://gilbertdoctorow.substack.com/p/rt-interview-zelensky-wont-be-around

​  Transcript​ of RT interview, 2 June
RT:  What is the end game here then? Do you think Zelensky and his Western supporters are even interested in a long-lasting peace?
​  Doctorow:​  I don’t think Zelensky will be around long enough for what he’s interested in to make any difference. Assuming that there is no resolution in Istanbul of meetings, round three comes up, of the fundamental differences, when two sides are each asking the other side to capitulate, I think that we’ll move back to the United States, because the real action is going to be there when the US Senate presents Mr. Trump with a nonstopable, a non-vetoable bill setting new harsh sanctions, financial and economic sanctions, on Russia. Then we will enter a new stage.
​  And I predict the outcome of that will be that Mr. Trump walks away from Ukraine and he accepts responsibility for the new sanctions, which he will say are put in place to moderate the Russian position and bring the size of the Russian peace. And he will then also stop all US military aid and financial aid and intelligence aid to Ukraine for the same justification: to make Ukraine more willing to find a peaceful settlement.
​  And the United States will walk away. “We’re leaving this to the Europeans”, who also will walk away after a two- to three-month grace period in which they pretend to support Ukraine, but do not actually support Ukraine, and spend all their time speechwriting, trying to agree a narrative that they can present to Western media for why they’re throwing Ukraine ​under the bus.​

  ​Caitlin Johnstone:  This Is Israel
This is Israel. This is what the Zionist project looks like. The dead kids. The blown-out hospitals. The desperate, starving civilians. This is it.
​  There is no alternate version of Israel where these things are not happening. The liberal Zionist vision of a two-state solution and a just and peaceful Israel exists solely in the imaginations of the people who envision it. Nothing like it has ever existed. Everything about the modern state of Israel is unyieldingly hostile to that vision.
​  You either support the existence of the Israel you see before you, or you support the end of the apartheid Zionist entity. There is no hidden third option. There are no other positions on the menu. To pretend otherwise is to live in a fantasy land.
​  You either want to burn children alive, or you don’t. You either want to deliberately starve civilians, or you don’t. You either want to bomb hospitals, or you don’t. You either want to deliberately assassinate Palestinian journalists while forbidding foreign journalists entry into Gaza, or you don’t. You either want to deliberately massacre civilians and systematically destroy civilian infrastructure in order to force the removal of Palestinians from a Palestinian territory, or you don’t. And if you don’t, you must oppose the state of Israel.​

Trump’s budget bill faces Republican discord in the US Senate, where some lawmakers reject any increase to the national debt.
​  “I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,” Musk wrote. “Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.”
​  His subsequent posts laid out the reasoning for his opposition, suggesting that the spending and tax cuts proposed in the bill would balloon the US national debt.
​  “It will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt,” Musk said in one post. In another, he wrote, “Congress is making America bankrupt.”
​  The bill would extend tax cuts established in 2017, during Trump’s first term, and funnel more funds to his administration’s priorities, including $46.5bn for the construction of barriers at the US border with Mexico.​

​  Kill (The) Bill: Musk Goes Ballistic Against GOP Tax And Spending Package
Elon Musk has been made a fool of by the GOP. After assembling the DOGE team and spending months finding egregious levels of waste, fraud and abuse within the US government - i.e. what Trump supporters voted for - House and Senate Republicans gave Musk a little pat on the head, then proceeded to roll out President Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' - that codified exactly zero of DOGE's findings, raises the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, and relies on ambitious economic projections to achieve what the White House insists is $1.4 trillion in savings (while the Congressional Budget Office projects deficits of $1.7 - $2.3 trillion over the next decade).​..
​..This sent the White House scrambling to do damage control - with Budget Director Russ Vought sending Congress a request for a $9.4 billion clawback for unspent foreign aid funding - which if you're Musk, after what DOGE has uncovered, is a huge slap in the face.
​  On Wednesday, Musk continued to rage on X - posting: "Call your Senator, Call your Congressman, Bankrupting America is NOT ok! Kill the Bill." - followed by a 'Kill Bill' movie poster featuring Uma Thurman.

(Postmortem​, a horribly ruined 3 year  life) Case Background The child was born prematurely at 35 weeks gestation, one week after the mother’s second dose of the BNT162b2 (Pfizer) mRNA vaccine. The child was delivered without vital signs and required emergency resuscitation. The severe temporal correlation suggests a significant adverse maternal-fetal reaction.
​  Over the subsequent three years, the child experienced recurrent immune dysfunction, including tonsillectomy and multiple surgeries for persistent middle ear infections. An unusual frequency of common infectious illnesses and impaired immune responses prompted further investigation into systemic pathologies.
​  Whole blood samples were analyzed using fluorescence microscopy with Thioflavin T (ThT) staining and SEM. In both imaging modalities, fibrillar structures with amyloid characteristics were identified.​

  Vaccines in infancy cause Sudden Infant Death Syndrome through several mechanisms:  New Research Reveals How Vaccines May Cause SIDS in Some Infants
Researchers who found that underdeveloped liver enzyme pathways in some infants may make it harder for them to process toxic ingredients in vaccines — a condition that could lead to SIDS — said their study, published in the International Journal of Medical Sciences, could lead to therapeutic interventions that could save lives.
​  Studies of infants who die from SIDS have noted brainstem and medulla abnormalities in most cases. Either of these may be caused by infection or inflammation.
​  In the study, the authors hypothesize that reduced CYP450 function may make it hard for some children to eliminate toxic vaccine ingredients. This may lead to prolonged exposure to inflammation, making the children more vulnerable to such abnormalities.
​  Those children are unable to safely tolerate the currently recommended vaccines.
“The result is a biologically plausible mechanism linking early-life vaccination to sudden infant death, particularly in those with genetic or developmental vulnerabilities,” according to epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher, who first reported the study.​

False START

 Risking Collateral Damage,


  One point, not made elsewhere, which is existentially important, is that the Ukrainian use of American satellite photos of Russian strategic bombers, to facilitate the 18-month-planned drone attack upon them from smuggling-trucks, is an American violation of the 2010 US/Russian New Start Treaty. 
  Under New Start, both countries must keep their strategic bombers parked in the open for position-verification by satellites. Those strategic bombers are not to be targeted for any harm by so doing.
  Ukraine has destroyed some of them, put up to it, coordinated with, and facilitated by the US military, with US satellite images clearly visible on the table in Ukraine where the planning was shown underway in a Ukrainian press release.
  This means that Trump did not know, and is in an information-silo again, as in his first presidency, so he is "not agreement capable", unless he can pull some rabbit out of his hat. Trump also did not know about the Ukrainian drone attack on Putin's helicopter last week, when he went on about "Putin killing people" and the reporter asked if those acts of war might be due to that assassination attempt.
  This reflects very badly upon the US Presidency as an agreement-capable institution. The Blob is humiliating the President for the world to see. This will harm peace negotiations, and grease the skids for WW-3, which European interests mostly seem to want very badly.

  Gilbert Doctorow, Ukrainian terror attacks on Russian civilian trains and Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian airfields extending as far away as Irkutsk in Eastern Siberia
The first news to break was Ukraine’s destruction of bridges in the two oblasts of the Russian Federation that border on Ukraine:  Kursk and Bryansk...
..At 3.00 am [Saturday], a railway bridge was blown up in Kursk.
​  Much more serious was the bombing late on Saturday of an automobile bridge in neighboring Bryansk oblast, which faces Ukraine to the West and Belarus to the north. That bridge collapsed onto a train passing below, derailing it and causing damage that cost the lives of seven on board the train and sent more than 40 passengers to hospital with serious injuries.
​  The Russians have denounced the bridge bombings as state terrorism.
 This has been denied by Ukrainian authorities, who say such allegations are being made only for the purpose of stopping the peace process.​

​  Gilbert Doctorow, Russia’s talking heads discuss the Ukrainian attacks on air bases across the RF this weekend​  
  Last night, the Sunday edition of Vladimir Solovyov’s widely watched talk show featured a military expert panelist who told us a good deal more about what happened and in which directions Russian investigation of this calamity and thoughts of retaliation are headed.
​  Firstly, the Russians deny that the destruction was as extensive as the Ukrainians claim. They insist that their local air defenses neutralized most of the incoming drones. They speak of some damaged aircraft without specifying how many.  On the other hand, they are considering a nuclear response in line with their nuclear doctrine of retaliation for attacks which endanger Russian national security. This in its own way is an acknowledgement that something awful did occur.  The same panelist makes it clear that the ongoing investigation has already led to arrests of Russians who facilitated the attack by acts of commission and omission.
​  The attack this weekend took 18 months to prepare. The positive conclusion we may draw is that a follow-on attack is improbable if not impossible to carry out. Nonetheless, the events of the weekend highlight serious security problems that it will not be easy for Russian authorities to correct.
​  Specifically, it is now known that the Ukrainian drones were brought into the Russian Federation in truck-trailers. This means that the border inspections by Russian customs were strangely lax at more than one border crossing and on more than one date.  Secondly it raises the questions about the complicity of the truck drivers, some of whom have now been arrested and who, under questioning say they had no idea what the containers held.
​  Then there are questions one must pose regarding the long time that these trailers were kept in place in the general vicinity of Russia’s most important air bases. How could their presence not have raised questions for local officials?​

  ​Martin Armstrong, Zelensky – Lies, Lies & More Lies
​  The Trump Administration has stated that it was NOT informed in advance. Ukraine was putting out the fake news claiming that they had previously told the Trump Administration in advance. They were most likely trying to scare Putin to prevent him from retaliating, implying that Trump has his back. This was indeed Russia’s Pearl Harbor. ​  Zelensky wrote on X on Sunday:
​  “Head of the Security Service of Ukraine Vasyl Maliuk delivered a report regarding today’s operation. An absolutely brilliant result. A result achieved solely by Ukraine. One year, six months, and nine days from the start of planning
 to effective execution. Our most long-range operation. Our people involved in preparing the operation were withdrawn from Russian territory in time.”​...
..Note that Zelensky also goes out of his way to state another lie: “A result achieved solely by Ukraine.” There is absolutely no way Ukraine did this alone. All of the EU was involved, just as MI6 instructed Ukraine to invade with the Kursk maneuver.​   https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/war/zelensky-lies-lies-more-lies/

​  Trump-Endorsed Nationalist Narrowly Wins Polish Presidential Election

​  With 100% of the precincts reporting, conservative historian Karol Nawrocki had 50.9% of the votes, compared to 49.1% for leftist Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski, who prematurely declared victory on Sunday evening after the first exit polls showed him at 50.3%.   Among the key issues in the election were immigration, abortion, support for Ukraine, and Polish integration with the rest of Europe. When he takes office on August 6, Nawrocki -- a former boxer who leads the Institute for National Remembrance -- will succeed term-limited President Andrzej Duda. Like Nawrocki, Duda is associated with the right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) party.​   https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/trump-endorsed-nationalist-narrowly-wins-polish-presidential-election

​  There’s not a lot that can shock me about Israel and its supporters these days. But if you’d traveled back in time a few years ago it would be hard to explain to someone how we got to a timeline that includes Israel supporters openly advocating the assassination of Greta Thunberg.
​  The reason Gaza ceasefire negotiations have kept falling through under both the Biden and Trump administrations is that Israel, with the backing of the US government, keeps insisting on the right to resume its genocidal slaughter after a temporary intermission.​

​  Army Blackhawk Pilot Faces Discharge After Refusing mRNA Shot — Despite Trump’s Reinstatement Order
​  After two decades of service, Chief Warrant Officer-3 Brandon Budge is being forced out of the Army for rejecting an experimental mRNA shot — even after President Trump’s Executive Order.
​  Budge described how he was pressured relentlessly to take the mRNA injection — despite having natural immunity after recovering from COVID and deep concerns about the shot’s safety. When he refused, he was isolated, demoted, and threatened with career destruction.
​  Even when his wife faced a high-risk pregnancy and doctors warned of possible early delivery, Budge’s request to remain stateside was denied. His command made it clear: “Even if your wife is on her deathbed, you won’t be coming home” — unless he complied with the mRNA shot mandate.
​  Desperate to be allowed to see his wife in the event of a medical emergency, Budge took matters into his own hands. He obtained an FDA-labeled version of the shot off-post, hoping it would satisfy the requirement and protect his family. But his command retaliated anyway. His promotion to CW-4 was revoked — costing him nearly $1,000 a month — and he was grounded from flight duty for 18 months.​

​  When asked what would need to change in the U.S. agricultural model to pivot toward growing more crops for domestic consumption, Anderson said: “I think we can physically grow more vegetables, but are they what people want, when they want them, and at a profitable price? Marketing windows prevent some crops from being profitably grown​".  “We often have higher costs than crops from other countries.”
​  Major agricultural producers such as Mexico, China, Brazil, and India have looser regulations, long growing seasons, and cheap labor, making a lot of the production costs cheaper than in the United States.​   https://basedunderground.com/2025/05/30/insiders-share-why-the-us-imports-so-much-food/
