Friday morning #headlines recap
The Saudi-backed Yemeni mercenary government has officially announced their withdrawal from Perim Island & the Bab el Mandab Strait. Bab el Mandab strait is now officially fully under the authority of Yemen’s AnsarAllah. Analysts say that Houthis are in prime position to expand their blockade against Saudi ships to other countries too, with the result of traffic through the Suez Canal coming to a standstill and cargo vessels being forced to sail around Africa again.
Saudi East-West pipeline struck and likely not pumping. Sentinel-3 shows a ~100km black plume between Medina and Mahd adh Dhahab; NASA FIRMS logs fire radiative power above 70MW sustained 8+ hours.
MBS called Trump twice on Thursday urging US strikes on the Houthis as they closed on the chokepoint. Trump declined, per US officials. Pakistan declined too: the Mecca Pact "doesn't cover a pre-existing condition" and covers state actors only. Sorry, no refunds.
Saudi output notified to OPEC at 6.2 mb/d, down 1.9 mb/d - lowest since 1990. Tanker tracking puts August exports down ~40%, from 5.1 to 3.1 mb/d. More pressure on an already broken system.
Regional realignment, off most radars: Algeria severed diplomatic relations with the UAE, giving the ambassador 48 hours, then closed its airspace to all UAE-registered aircraft from 11 Sept 00:00. An Etihad flight was turned away this morning. I guess Bibi ultimately got what he wanted from Trump vis a vis a completely destabilized Middle East where the towel-heads fight each other instead of unifying against Israel; hopefully that turmoil will ultimately result in Israel getting nuked, whether accidentally or intentionally.
Iran is now shooting at the US Navy on a repeat basis. Missiles at American warships including a carrier at least three times in the past week, with maneuverable warheads and "much closer calls" than before, per WSJ. Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao said on the record that Iranian forces "blew the hell out of Bahrain", leaving the Abraham Lincoln with "no place for them to pull in”. In a related story, CENTCOM is slowly acknowledging more and more damage from Sept 8 Iranian attacks.
Vance and Rubio have privately warned Trump the war could run to January 2029, against Trump's public line that it ends after the midterms - and his own "maybe I don't go full into Iran because of election”. Heaven help us, we’re not even halfway through this lunatic’s term.
While South Korean government gave signals that they would assist the US in the Middle East conflict South Koreans rallied against their government's Hormuz deployment outside the US embassy.
US diesel tops $6.00/gal, a record. National average $6.0556, up ~63% YoY per AAA data; +74% over nine months with some states above $8. 28 states set all-time diesel highs, and five California stations are stuck at the pump's mechanical ceiling of $9.999. I have faint memories from the 70s of gas stations painting a “1” next to the price because the pumps at the time were capped at 99 cents…
Crude went for its ninth consecutive green session, the longest streak in more than three years. Brent above $107 at one point.
Bond market is fighting the Treasury and winning. 10Y at 4.96%, 30Y at 5.36%, highest since the run-up to the global financial crisis. The $6B buyback accepted only $5.19B of $10.489B in offers - and those were lowballs. Interest rate hike odds for next week are above 72%. At the same time Bessent’s "I am the house" line is now a running market joke, 48 hours old and aging badly. Apparently it sounds particularly scary when translated into Japanese. Bessent is giving the US economy AIDS. As always, finbros feel free to chime in with a comment.
Trump rebranded the $5,000 vote bribery payments as the "Trump Dividend" and said he does not need Congressional approval to issue it. Some leftist judge already practicing their gavel technique. One analyst reports that bond investors don't even believe it will happen, and are dumping Treasuries on the recklessness of the ~$1.4 trillion promise alone. Meanwhile Thomas Massie shitpoasts that he’s holding out for $10,000 at a minimum.
Anthropic reports a northern Yemen cell using AI for weapons targeting and other military uses. The cynics say that this is Anthropic maneuvering for passage of an “AI safety” bill that would essentially give them a regulatory capture position and/or antitrust exemption to collude with OpenAI. Thankfully these companies are run by jews with high moral and ethical standards…
Larry C Johnson’s substack has an excellent effortpoast about the multi-decade clown world plan to use Ukraine as a battering ram against Russia and how the scheme is now crumbling. Best quote: “Any foreign government that trusts an American security promise should first study what happened to the South Vietnamese, the Afghans, the Iraqis, the Libyans, the Cambodians. When a war stops serving Washington’s purposes, the U.S. says adios.” I am reminded of Nixon’s assessment of the Iranian hostage mess in the late 70s: the Iranians figured out it was less dangerous to be a US enemy than a friend.
While Russia continues to grind away, Ukraine's anti-corruption bureau has opened cases against more than 60 MPs covering vote-buying, illicit enrichment and state-company schemes, per FT. As with the previous story, the Ukrainian money laundering operation appears to be winding down.
Dan Bilzerian on twitter: “Jews succeeded because people didn’t realize how much they hate gentiles. Their Gaza genocide, Epstein files, the degenerate bullshit they push in their media, and their bribing/blackmail of our politicians has made it painfully obvious how nefarious this group really is.” I have no take on Bilzerian’s legitimacy, but he’s driving the noticing hard with a tweet that got 26,000 likes.
Twitter changes its TOS section 3 to say users are at fault or responsible for the way grok replies. Oy vey the goyim are asking uncomfortable questions, SHUT IT DOWN.
Bush takes an opportunity to shit on “conspiracy nuts” on the lead-up to the 25th anniversary of 9/11. That sleazy bastard’s gonna burn in hell.
Despite Pres. Trump launching the Iran War on behalf of Israel and dedicating his entire presidency to advancing jewish interests, a new poll finds only 25% of jewish voters approve of the job he has done as president, and 75% disapprove. Silly Shabbos goy thinking he’s anything more than cattle to his masters.
After 500+ hours and $70,000 of testing, researchers found LG smart TVs secretly logging conversations and mapping homes. Anyone that buys a “smart” device is objectively dumb.
Nearly half of the country thinks Lindsay Clancy is guilty, compared to just 1/5 of the country who thinks she is not guilty. Even among Democrats, guilty has a +3 advantage. Statistically, the likelihood that Clancy was found not guilty 11-1, even in Massachusetts, is highly irregular. The silver lining is that there are fewer witches to burn than previously thought. In a related story, someone wonders how the prosecution could have been so incompetent in picking a jury only to come to the conclusion that one of the lawyers is a man dressed as a woman. Apparently the lawyer in question is indeed a woman, with one commenter saying “hard to tell because this is how Massachusetts women look”. OH MY SIDES
Hunter Biden’s crypto coin, based on his infamous laptop, crashed by 99% in just one hour, proving to be a pump-and-dump scheme in which the former president’s son scammed his followers. Sheep getting the fleecing they deserve IMO.
A day after Spain imposed sanctions on jewish settlers, they lost all electricity for hours without any explanation. Yesterday Britain lost control of its air hours after they imposed sanctions on Israel. Say it again: with jew you lose.
Patriotic Brits on the balaclava ban: “Fine. We’ll wear the burka.” AC notes that the burka makes it easier to conceal a weapon and body armor.
Remember folks, the war can’t go on forever…
@Zeb Indeed. Now the question becomes, will Whites fight the infinite migrant hordes and start Gog&Magog like their masters want to, OR will they go after the head of the hydra who control our institutions and are responsible for opening the borders in the first place (no, not our own women, like the shills want us to believe, but our leaders)?
White brothers, there's nowhere to run.

This is a good reminder that America's "diverse" cities are literally more deadly for civilians than active modern war zones
There's a higher chance of dying a violent death as a civilian in Charlotte than Ukraine. St. Louis is deadlier than the Troubles or the Bush War. Only a few years of the Iraq insurgency were worse than the American cities with the highest rates of disagreement over scuffed sneakers
