Between 2016 and today, the US has spent almost $9 trillion on defense. It then ran dangerously low in many advanced munitions fighting a country with no air force and navy--after about two months of combat operations.
This is an extraordinary scandal.

And we know?

And we know?

They have pulled it out for many moon cycles

And we know?

Back in the day, they did not "backfill" with any liquid = leaves caverns & cavities = can you say "sink holes"

hughgreckshun — 8/12/2026 9:40:10 AM

We are there … or very close to depleting our strategic petroleum reserve and the .gov is lying about it

The energy department claims today that the effective bottom (the level at which you start destroying the salt caverns by going any lower) is 70-million barrels. That’s nonsense. It’s what the government wants you to believe or what it wants to believe it can do if it has to, or what it wants Iran to believe, which is all just more denial of reality. Throughout the entire time of the war, the oil industry has been saying the effective bottom of the SPR is around 250-million barrels.

“When you do a drawdown, then you accelerate kind of the degradation of the wells themselves and some of the equipment,” Goldwyn said. “It’s like anything else — you use it a lot, you have to maintain it.” ( Morningstar)

The Government Accounting Office says that partial collapse has already been happening. Additionally, equipment failures have left us to where the government cannot pump as low as it claims, even if it decides it wants to.

More than a quarter of that [remaining] oil is physically inaccessible, blocked by failing pumps, corroded pipes, and underground salt caverns that have deformed beyond their operational parameters, according to internal government documents.

Somewhere not far below the present level, you start to increase the risk of collapsing the salt caverns. (Because they pump water down into the caverns to float the oil up, and once they have to pump that much water in, the salt dissolves enough to collapse.)

So, we are now close to what we might call the effective bottom of oil tanks because the final 10-20% fills up with sludge composed of sand, water, paraffin, tars, etc. that you can’t get much fuel out of.

Trump buried the mother of his children, Ivana on his golf course for the tax benefit as NJ designates cemetery land free from any taxes. They say Trump converted to chabad in 2017 but he's always been a greedy prick.

Trump National Golf Club Bedminster even had to be consecrated for a Catholic burial

He also tried to register another New Jersey property as a nonprofit Cemetery but funny thing
is he's already getting a huge tax cut on Bedminster by designating it as a farm because of some mulch trees and yes eight goats

Trump's tax bill is down to just $16.31 a year on that land so tax break
or not he's paying next to nothing on it did you use that $916 million loss to avoid paying personal federal income tax

Trump Golfs Under Missile Shield As Avenger Guards the Bedminster Fairway

President Trump was spotted over the weekend at his Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, under a notably elevated air-defense posture. An AN/TWQ-1 Avenger positioned near the fairway provided last-line missile defense, indicating that security planners considered a low-altitude airborne attack plausible.

The Avenger provided terminal point defense over the course should a low-flying aircraft, helicopter, larger drone, or potentially a cruise missile penetrate the restricted airspace before fighters could respond.
They put trump right in the back-blast area. Notice how far back his caddy is standing.
How much did that game of golf cost US taxpayers?

We finally learned why Donnie boy inadvertently sabotaged the MOU.
This must have felt very humiliating to him.

Donald Trump departed on a secret military flight from Turkey to Britain last month when the White House said he was flying aboard ?Air Force One, in an extraordinary ruse – prompted by an Iranian assassination threat

The president reportedly boarded the old Air Force One jumbo jet in view of television cameras, and then was secretly shuttled minutes later to a smaller plane via an airport catering truck typically used to load meals and other supplies preflight, a US official told the Post.

hughgreckshun — 8/11/2026 10:15:32 AM

Fauci makes Mengele look like a boy scout - a whole different league of evil.

Dr. Anthony Fauci privately entertained the possibility that the COVID-19 vaccine could trigger first-trimester miscarriages, months before he told the public there was no risk.

What a despicable excuse for a human.. vaccinating pregnant women .. crimes of humanity .. What the hell was included in this witches brew?.. there are studies that mention 2 proteins from HIV included, and the dangers of the MRna that alter the DNA.

Dr. Fauci was concerned in January 2021 that the second dose of the COVID shot “theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester.”
None of that made it into Fauci's public messaging.

Fauci on August 30, 2021: “it's really one of those things that's kind of not a close call. It really is pretty clear that pregnant women should get vaccinated.”

But 7 months earlier he was concerned that the second dose of the COVID shot “theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester.”

I know one woman whose daughter got the MRNA jab when it came out. She found out that she was pregnant just after getting the jab. Fast forward a year: her baby had not grown any, was blind, and had brain tumors. They took the baby to some of the leading pediatric specialists in America; the specialists concluded that the cause of the baby's birth defects was the MRNA jab - there was absolutely no other way to explain it.

The child will have to have care for the rest of its life, which, sadly, is expected to be short.

Fraudci should be made to pony up some of his millions in royalties to help pay for the child's care ... but we all know that will never happen.

After COVID, I would go to a witch doctor before I’d trust Western medicine again. The only doctor I respect is Dr. Jekyll ...he at least had the stones to take his own damn medicine.

Fauci is an evil, lying, genocidal monster, who has committed crimes against humanity, in order to profit and advance his career!

Count 1: 18 U.S.C. § 2331 §§ 802 – Acts of Domestic Terrorism resulting in death of American Citizens
Count 2: 18 USC § 2339– Conspiring to Commit Acts of Terrorism
Count 3: 15 U.S.C. §1-3 – Conspiring to criminal commercial activity
Count 4: 18 USC § 175 – Funding and Creating a Biological Weapon
Count 5: 15 U.S.C. §8 – Market manipulation and allocation
Count 6: 18 U.S.C. § 1001 – Lying to Congress
Count 7: 15 U.S.C. § 19 – Interlocking directorates
Count 8: 18 U.S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy

The COVID jabs shift the initial immune response from IgG1 to IgG4, suppressing immune surveillance for many different types of cancer cells. There is now mounting evidence of reverse transcription destablization, and tumor promoting gene dysregulation in mRNA injected individuals.

Translation: the more gene jabs you receive the greater the immune system damage, the greater your risk of impaired cancer surveillance and hence, the greater your risk of ‘turbo cancer’.

Trump opened up a can of worms wearing tiny hats and got a can of whoop ass instead

The only "card" Trump has left to play is the nuclear one. Will he do it? Is he that stupid?
It wouldn't be the first time we have incinerated civilians in order to extract our military from a theatre of war.
And there may be a potential nuclear reaction from Russia, China, Pakistan, North Korea and India, causing global war and risking the lives of millions of Americans. Would the donald do this for his israeli blackmailers? Tune in tomorrow and see

israel already got what it wanted .. the destruction of the Arabs in the gulf, bombed out refineries, hospitals, airports, schools, civilians, water plants, the assassination of Khomeini and attacks on Lebanon .. israel is now using pesticides on civilian populations in Lebanon .. absolutely grotesque

these are the consequences of allowing israel to determine the diplomatic and military decisions of the US in the middle east .. this war is lost.. pack your bags and leave w/ your tail between your legs ASAP
..
And just for the record we ain't seen nothing yet. Just wait until the two militaries are officially joined at the hip

what a treasonous nightmare

To take the most despised nation on the planet and tie your nation to it siamese twin style is sheer lunacy!

The Unwinnable Iran War

August 8, 2026

I have been often asked about if Robert Maxwell, Epstein’s girlfriend’s father, stole US nuclear secrets and handed them to Israel. The allegations linking Robert Maxwell to a series of intelligence-related activities involving Israel began with claims of Ari Ben-Menashe, a former Israeli intelligence officer. I cannot speak definitively to this allegation. What I do know is that he was part of the “club” and that he agreed that Israel would recognize the coup against Gorbachev in return to allow the Jews in Russia to flee to Israel. I have maintained that nobody wants really to investigate WHY Epstein was engaging in his scheme ising girls to implicate powerful people. I believe they keep the focus on the girls as the victim and avoid the WHY because that leads to an operation nobody wants to expose.

..... reported that Trump was mislead into this unwinnable war with Iran, which has been planning for it since 1979. They had amassed the largest stockpile of balistic missiles and understood the way to fight Israel was to overwhelm their dome defense. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is going to run for reelection in October. However, I would not put it past him to pull a Zelensky to retain power. He has implied that he may be considering taking unilateral action to prolong a costly and unwinnable war with Iran, even as Washington and Tehran appear to be close to an interim deal to open the Strait of Hormuz. Trump keeps trying to exit and Netanyahu tries to keep the US in to fund his war.

Iran’s investment in ballistic missiles was a deliberate strategic choice, made in the context of its long-standing tensions with the U.S. and Israel. This decision was driven by the understanding that the way to defeat Israel was to overwhelm its defense and that would take a vast supply to compel Israel to eventually run out of missiles

The Nuclear Option

Netanyahu has not publicly discussed this option deploying tactical nuclear weapons against Iran. However, there remain concerns given his relentless animosity toward Iran. Israel’s nuclear capability is widely believed to be tied to the “Samson Option” doctrine, which is a last-resort deterrent meant only for an existential threat to the state’s survival. The conflict with Iran, has often been characterized as an existential threat to Israel that he has claims goes to the survival of Israel. The problem that he faces is that a tactical nuclear strike might NOT even fully destroy Iran’s deeply buried nuclear facilities. Israel already possesses a range of advanced conventional weapons, including bunker-buster bombs, which could achieve similar objectives without the immense risks of nuclear escalation. President Trump, has publicly dismissed the possibility of an Israeli nuclear strike, stating, “Israel wouldn’t do that.” However, even the USA would resort to that option if confronted with the inevitable loss in a major war with anyone.

Woman are padding their bras during time trials to gain an aerodynamic edge.

A titillating article... We need to be kept abreast of such developments... as long as Tylers we milk it too much

Several women’s World Teams have come forward claiming that some riders are padding their bras during time trials to gain an aerodynamic edge.

The Dutch website Wielerflits broke the story after hearing from multiple teams. The complaint is that certain cyclists are using extra padding to make their chests appear larger. In the low, aggressive position of a time trial, a rounder chest can act like a “fairing,” smoothing the air and reducing drag.
