Petrodollar vs. Petroyuan: The Real Battle of the Iran War

In this fascinating episode of The Silk and Steel Podcast, host Carl Zha is joined by Teen Sheng (co-host of Escape from Plan A) to dissect one of the most puzzling economic puzzles of the Iran war:

Why is gold crashing while oil is surging?

Conventional wisdom says that in times of geopolitical crisis, both gold and oil should rise together as safe haven assets. But that's not what's happening. Gold has dropped over 10% while oil flirts with $100/barrel. The dollar is strangely strong. Treasury yields are spiking.

What's going on?

(Just to day Good Day, to fellow Duranians ). A screenshot même, and its respective source (link https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1AyHERVS4f/ ). This one seems a bit less in the style of Francis Bacon and more playmobil styled.

Loss of Internet Freedom Thread
(Xpost recommended by MarcAndreson)(excerpt)
Seeing this happen in real time was immensely blackpilling and the fact that it isn't even widely-known and discussed that this happened (almost entirely in the last 11 years) is a travesty. "Closure of the Internet" is 1000 times worse than McCarthyism ever was.

"Someone" needs to hunt down the journalists who initially began the anti-YouTube ad press campaign and interview them.
Xpost (references used here r not great)

The effect of this on Internet discourse was to not only shift it extremely far to the left but to dumb it down. Like unpredictable environments leading to r-selection, ubiquitous censorship discouraged original research or high-effort books/essays/videos in favor of memes.

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
