“That’s Doug Lawler, chief executive of Continental Resources, the shale-drilling giant controlled by billionaire Harold Hamm, telling Bloomberg News on Monday that crude prices are set to remain elevated and could press to the $120- to $150-a-barrel range without new production.
More price pressure is coming, he said, unless policies are put in place to encourage more output.
West Texas Intermediate crude, the U.S. benchmark, edged back below $90 a barrel on Monday but remains up more than 34% from its 52-week low of $66.74 hit on March 17. Brent crude, the global benchmark, has rallied 30% from a 52-week low of $71.84 a barrel set on June 12.
Lawler said he thought oil ‘absolutely’ would hit the $100-a-barrel threshold and that he expects to see continued volatility in the $80- to $100-a-barrel price environment.
THINGS TO PONDER:
Don’t shoot the messenger…
Doug Lawler isn’t an Eagle Scout by any means… but when the bomb diffuser guy is running, you should probably keep up.
We’re fundamentally weak and exposed when we rely on others for production and the means of that production…
And that’s EXACTLY what’s happening right now with oil.
The insult to injury is that we have the full capability to not be in a crisis…
Yet, we are.
But why?
Because the enemy is inside of the walls, destroying your future from Washington DC.

”JPMorgan’s UK bank will stop customers buying cryptocurrencies from next month to combat rising numbers of criminals using digital assets to target victims.
The ban by Chase UK, which notified customers by email on Tuesday, marks a step up as British lenders try to stop their networks being used for scams and frauds.
While several banks, including HSBC and NatWest, have set restrictions on their customers’ purchases for crypto, outright bans are rare. Chase said its UK block, which will come into effect from October 16, had been informed by data showing the high rate of crypto scams and fraud in the UK, including fake investments and false celebrity endorsements.
‘We’ve seen an increase in the number of crypto scams targeting UK consumers, so we have taken the decision to prevent the purchase of crypto assets on a Chase debit card or by transferring money to a crypto site from a Chase account,’ the bank said.
Although Chase UK’s move is not part of a group-wide policy, JPMorgan said in 2018 that it would prohibit customers from purchasing cryptocurrencies with credit cards. Chief executive Jamie Dimon has been a longstanding critic of cryptocurrencies and said in January that bitcoin, the oldest and best-known token, was a ‘hyped-up fraud.’”

Welcome to the next step in your enslavement and journey towards a central bank digital currency (#CBDC.)
Things always sound “safe” on the surface…

“US intelligence agencies are getting their own ChatGPT-style tool to sift through an avalanche of public information for clues.
The Central Intelligence Agency is preparing to roll out a feature akin to OpenAI Inc.’s now-famous program that will use artificial intelligence to give analysts better access to open-source intelligence, according to agency officials. The CIA’s Open-Source Enterprise division plans to provide intelligence agencies with its AI tool soon.
‘We’ve gone from newspapers and radio, to newspapers and television, to newspapers and cable television, to basic internet, to big data, and it just keeps going,’ Randy Nixon, director of the division, said in an interview. ‘We have to find the needles in the needle field.’
It’s part of a broader government campaign to harness the power of AI and compete with China, which is seeking to become the global leader in the field by 2030. That US push dovetails with the intelligence community’s struggle to process the vast amounts of data that’s now publicly available, amid criticism that it’s been slow to exploit that source.
The CIA’s AI tool will allow users to see the original source of the information that they’re viewing, Nixon said. He said that a chat feature is a logical part of getting intelligence distributed quicker.
‘Then you can take it to the next level and start chatting and asking questions of the machines to give you answers, also sourced,’ said Nixon, whose division oversees intelligence drawn from publicly and commercially available sources. ‘Our collection can just continue to grow and grow with no limitations other than how much things cost.’”
THINGS TO PONDER:
“Our collection can just continue to grow and grow with no limitations other than how much things cost.”
Let that sink in…
Sans any effort to keep you “safe,” the US survailance apparatus is pretty scary…
And, based on what we’ve learned about “ChatGPT like” platforms, they don’t really work as they are intended…
Now, the CIA… which is supposed on only operate outside of the US (a rule it doesn’t actually follow) will have more ways to be in your business…
That ain’t good.
You’re going to want to watch this closely… and asked your elected public servants LOTS of questions.

What does this mean?
Things aren’t going to end well if you don’t take action.
But, here’s what’s different this time… multiple people are saying that exact same thing from a number of different angles, and in different places.
One of the things we often say is to watch what successful people do, & do what they do, AND then watch what unsuccessful people do, and don’t do what they do…
Most of them are already out of the line of fire for social unrest or economic collapse…
How do you think they see things ending up?
Why should I care?
When was the last time you checked on your “go-to’s”:
*Your go-to investment?
*Your go-to safety net?
*Your go-to emergency plan?
If it’s been a while, here’s some bad news: They probably might not work anymore.
That means you’re behind in planning for rough times.
You should care.
What should I do?
Take a moment… right now if you can… to take inventory of what you’re seeing in this newsletter each day.
Have you ever seen a time quite like this?
Ok good, you’re paying attention. That’s the point.
If you’re not paying attention and trapped in the hustle and bustle of a busy world (with a ton of useless stuff, by the way), this stuff will come up on you like a thief in the night.
You need to take the time to prepare as best you can for a time when good supplies, strong communities, and strong connections are the difference between surviving and thriving or being in bad shape.
GET MOVING ASAP.
Also, please share what you get from this newsletter.
It’s OK if you don’t understand it all.

Your future, and theirs, depends on it.
