And That Means That The Energy Crisis Is About To Greatly Escalate
In fact, the International Energy Agency is now expecting the world to run an oil deficit of approximately 1.8 million barrels a day during the third quarter of this year. That is “more than double its previous estimate”…
Now our commercial oil inventories have almost disappeared and the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve has fallen under 300 million barrels for the first time since early 1983…
It is just a matter of time before we see diesel shortages start to pop up all over the world.
This will greatly affect farmers and truckers.
An extended energy crisis will essentially guarantee a major global economic downturn.
We are already witnessing big problems in Japan and in Europe.
As I have discussed previously, the size of the U.S. workforce has shrunk by more than a million people over the past year.
Just think about that.
More than a million workers have simply disappeared from the workforce somehow.

Treasury market facing reckoning: Treasury is about to sell 30-year bonds at the most expensive rate in a quarter century.
Long-end Treasury yields have been creeping higher for months, driven by several factors that could prove deleterious to the bond market’s long-term health. On July 31, the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond TMUBMUSD30Y traded as high as 5.281%, according to Tradeweb data. That was the highest reading since the summer of 2007. Yields have remained just shy of that level ever since, including a near-retest on Tuesday.
(Currently, the US pays $2 trillion a year in interest on the debt. That will make our $40 trillion debt UNPAYABLE very soon. That will destroy the dollar.)

INSANE VIDEO: Cam Higby and James O’Keefe Go Undercover as Fake Muslims in Minneapolis, Are Allowed to Vote in Other People’s Names and Vouch for Eight Foreigners — Including ‘Hamas Militants from Gaza’ (UPDATED)
An undercover operation by James O’Keefe’s “Citizen Justice League” has reportedly uncovered an avenue for voter fraud being allowed at Minneapolis polling places, where poll workers appeared happy to register individuals introduced as “Hamas militants” from Gaza and allow a man disguised as a Muslim woman to vote under other people’s names.Independent journalist Cam Higby posted video of himself fully veiled in a niqab approaching poll workers after praying on a city street.
“Yesterday I went to Minneapolis polls disguised as a Muslim woman,” Higby wrote in a post with a teaser video for the investigation. “Poll workers were going to let me vote in other people’s names, and then vouch for 8 other unregistered foreigners.”

Inside Utah's Trans-Marxist Militia: From Cuba Revolutionary Trips And Rifle Training To Declaring War On Landlords
via Miah Blackwell of The Cougar Chronicle,
Over the last few years, individuals and groups tied to violent and extremist LGBTQ activism have been emerging in the heart of Utah. In May, we exposed how extremist students and clubs at UVU have been responsible for vandalism, violent threats and rhetoric, and even justifying the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Some even left the words “bella ciao” on the sidewalk during left-wing protests.
In June, we documented an LGBTQ gathering in Provo where individuals beat an effigy of a police officer and wrote extremist propaganda in chalk.
But these appearances of violent LGBTQ activism are minor compared to the actions and rhetoric of a group called Armed Queers of Salt Lake City, which has been at the center of this radical movement for some time.
A recruitment card we obtained says the group is working toward:
the armed protection of queer and trans communities,
the end of capitalist exploitation,
trans liberation from the gender binary,
housing as a human right,
the abolition of prisons and police,
the dismantling of the nonprofit “industrial complex.”
Weapons Training and Trips to Cuba
An archive of Instagram posts acquired before Armed Queers took down the page reveals some of the group's normal operations before September of 2025. These activities include monthly firearm training sessions, providing citizen defense for LGBTQ pride events, holding educational forums, and even sending members to Cuba to be trained and participate in the May Day Brigade.
The Origins of Armed Queers
The group's public origin runs through Ermiya Fanaeian, a male-to-female transgender activist and the son of Iranian immigrants, who first drew local attention as a teenager. In the aftermath of the 2018 Parkland shooting, he helped organize a Utah chapter of March for Our Lives, the student gun-control movement.
But within a few years, Fanaeian reversed his position on guns. Speaking to Utah’s KUER, he said, “I used to think that guns were a scary thing. Back then, I would have agreed with Joe Biden’s assertion to take everyone’s AR-15s away. And now I own one.”
He later launched a Salt Lake City chapter of the Pink Pistols, a national LGBTQ firearms group, but later broke with it. Pink Pistols tells a pointed version of that split, saying they cut ties because Fanaeian began using its name to advance a broader political program in violation of the group's single, narrow purpose of promoting lawful, responsible gun ownership. Pink Pistols says his chapter remains defunct.
When Fanaeian organized AQSLC, he kept the core Pink Pistols model–armed, organized, and queer–but expanded on it with additional features. Armed Queers distinguishes itself in three vital ways:
An explicit political mission. Armed Queers’ own membership sign-up form states the group’s goal of establishing a socialist society and achieving "trans liberation from the gender binary and biological essentialism,” which are ideological aims. The group describes itself as aligned with Marxism and trains queer and trans people to arm themselves in opposition to capitalism and oppression.
Coalition activism. Fanaeian protested with the Salt Lake City chapter of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, demanding "police and prison abolition.” He also founded a local PSL chapter himself. Aligning and actively working with other far-left movements (as also evidenced by the other booths at the event we attended) is an essential element of Armed Queers.
Campus ideological programming. In 2023 the group lectured at the University of Utah, hosted by a socialist student organization, promoting "queer resistance" and dismantling "cis-heteropatriarchy" and "land ownership."
