Luongo: Davos Runs Into The OPEC+ Buzzsaw

This was the turning point...

Authored by Tom Luongo: Every Wednesday and Sunday morning I record a private podcast for my patrons. I cover gold, silver, oil, the Dow Jones and Bitcoin at a minimum. This past Sunday I mentioned during my oil commentary I thought the six-month long weakness in oil was overdone.  

Last week’s price action clearly agreed with me as the futures markets finally saw some position squaring into the quarterly close on Friday.

At least that’s what I thought at the time.  It turns out that there were a lot of people who must have known that OPEC+ was going to announce a surprise production cut while I was yammering into a microphone Sunday morning. Because they bid oil up into the quarterly close using the tailwinds of strong closes across the entire ‘tangible assets’ space — gold, stocks, US treasuries, industrial metals, etc. — as cover.

The ‘deflation trade’ hit its peak when Brent crude futures bottomed near $70 per barrel on March 19th.

Oops! Deleted Tweet By Israel's Former PM Disclosed Nuke Arsenal

“What Israeli military leaders really worry about—but cannot talk about—is losing their nuclear monopoly.”

By Tyler Durden: In a major faux pax in US-Israeli relations, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak acknowledged the existence of the country's nuclear weapon arsenal via Twitter -- then deleted the tweet, presumably after realizing he'd violated the long-standing US-Israeli practice of pretending that arsenal doesn't exist. 

Barak's Tuesday tweet addressed growing worries about the growing presence of ultra-nationalist and ultra-religious factions in Israel's government. Finance minister Bezalel Smotrich and his Religious Zionism party, for example, openly aspire to turn Israel into a theocracy. 

Barak wrote: 

“In conversations between Israelis and Western diplomatic officials, there are deep concerns raised of the possibility that if the coup in Israel succeeds, a messianic dictatorship — that possesses nuclear weapons and fanatically wishes for a confrontation with Islam centered on the Temple Mount — will be established in the heart of the Middle East.”

The Destruction Of The Western Man

'In my day boys were forbidden to bully girls. Today men are bullied by women. The role of men today is to get out of the way of women and preferred racial minorities. This is not a picture of a society that is succeeding.'

By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: The backbone and principal resource of every country is the male heterosexual population.  Without them there is no country, no births to take the place of deaths.  Men have the temperament and strength to fight and to lead. They protect women and children, property, borders.  They lead families, communities, businesses, and governments.  That has always been their role throughout history.  When men become effete, the society collapses.  In America this indispensable resource is being destroyed.

It begins with boys, which means they never become men. I remember when boys were trained for leadership.  They received more discipline and were given more independence than girls, who were trained for nurture and motherhood. The roles of the sexes were as distinct as the sexes.  There was no such thing as a girl who wanted to be a boy or a boy who wanted to be a girl. Transgenderism is an invention of a sick and dying society.

Reporters Without Borders Barred From Visiting Assange By Corrupt UK Prison Governor Jenny 'Screw The UK' Louis

This week marks 13 years since the world's greatest journalist Julian Assange published the Collateral Murder video showing the gunning down of civilians including two Reuters journalists in Iraq.

Via People's Dispatch: Two leaders from NGO Reporters Without Borders (RSF) were barred from visiting imprisoned journalist Julian Assange on April 4 in Belmarsh Prison. RSF Secretary-General Christophe Deloire and Director of Operations Rebecca Vincent were not able to carry out their visit with Assange, a visit which had taken months to secure. Belmarsh Prison Governor Jenny Louis denied their visit at the last minute because she had "received intelligence" that the two were journalists.

"We followed all of the prison’s procedures and rules. We arrived early with all documents. But we were told at reception that we would not be allowed in," tweeted Vincent.

Pity The Child

...childhood is when we shape our beliefs and our tastes. Convince a generation that it’s fragile, off-balance, angry, victimized, and oppressed, and very few of its members will ever break out...

Authored by Bruce Abramson: About a decade ago, toddler son in tow, I found myself in a playground for the first time in 35 years. It was not what I remembered. The colors were far more vibrant. Plastic had replaced wood and metal. Sharp edges had been rounded, chains and hinges softened. Cushioned ground had replaced the asphalt. 

What struck me most, however, was that it was full of adults. It seemed that every child had a minder within arms length. I was perplexed. I knew why I was there—my son was still a bit wobbly. Many of the kids appeared to be about 6-8 years old. Why did they need minders?

I soon learned the two cardinal rules of contemporary playgrounds (or at the very least, playgrounds on Manhattan’s Upper West Side): One, your child may not get hurt. Two, your child may not hurt another child. Violate the first rule, and you’re negligent. Violate the second and you’re antisocial—borderline criminal. Also, and just for good measure, “hurt” is given the broadest possible definition to include potentially hurtful language.

Sweden: Investigation Shows State Actor Behind Nord Stream Blast

Swedish prosecutor: "I never thought Russia was behind it."

By Tyler Durden: In yet more evidence on the side of Seymour Hersh's reporting, Sweden has announced Thursday that amid its ongoing investigation into the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage, it has concluded that a state actor is the likeliest culprit. 

Swedish Public Prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist, who heads the ongoing investigation, stated "The clear main scenario" is that a state-sponsored group was behind the explosions.

While not ruling out any scenario at this point, he said the conclusion is based on the explosives used, which are rare and not widely available outside of governments and their militaries.

"We are carrying out a number of concrete investigative precautions... Our hope is to be able to confirm who has committed this crime, but it should be noted that it likely will be difficult given the circumstances," Ljungqvist said. He also acknowledged that the crime is "difficult to investigate," given that it "took place 80 meters [262 feet] under the water."
