If you want to understand the U.S., check out the Netflix show on American frontiersmen and the settling of the American West. It confirms that the Americans have been warlike, domineering and expansionist/imperialist since the very beginning. It confirms that America is not a normal country and can’t usefully be compared to any European state apart from the British, and more particularly the British of the Empire:it has always been aggressive, duplicitous, crazily restless, obsessed with land and wealth. Generations of observers from afar have been misled by Disneyfied versions of the Revolution and the Founding which portray the Founders as cartoonishly High-minded Ciceronisn republicans concerned with Enlightenment abstractions and glittering principles only. The same with Lincolnian piety and soul-suffering mainly designed to redeem an America nailed to a PR master’s largely pretend cross of posturing and self-invention. DH Lawrence was closer to the truth with his description of the American soul as “hard, isolate…a killer”

COULD FOREIGN INTERESTS BE SABOTAGING MEXICO'S PATH TO ENERGY INDEPENDENCE?
-A fire at the Dos Bocas refinery in Paraíso, Tabasco, on March 17, 2026, killed five people, an incident Pemex attributed to heavy rains igniting oily wastewater just outside the facility’s perimeter.
-Three weeks later, on April 9, a separate fire erupted in the refinery’s coke warehouse, forcing evacuations and raising alarms because it occurred only one day after a preventative safety drill, a coincidence that many workers found deeply unsettling. Between those two events, a mysterious gas release near the complex prompted local panic, though Pemex quickly dismissed it as harmless water vapor, and yet another oil spill was reported in the same coastal zone.

The Iranians appear to be very clever people. They know now the absolute treachery of the US. Is it possible (yes of course it is) or rather did the Iranians send the commercial ship closer to the Americans as a means to lure the US into committing an aggressive action? Which then begs the question WHY would they do that?

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.
