Weekly Weigh In: Mexican and Russian violence, Nostalgia video game, Ceuta and Escaping QUICKLY
Reminder of Mexico & Mining Stocks
Shootout in Cabo San Lucas…the common gringo resort town.
Culture War Everywhere
I used to play Halo 3 a lot when I was younger–I mean a lot. I’d say a couple of my months of my life had been in front of that screen playing Halo 3. It would seem that it has changed a great deal in the last 15 or so years.
In the game is specifically programmed so that you can only kill the men in the game but none of the women. This has nothing to do with the gameplay or the story of the game, rather its a pre-programmed deliberation from the developers to slant the playing field of violence in a game where you’re a super human saving Earth from aliens.
Men, whose lives are disposal and useless–dead.
Women, crucial NPC’s for the game no matter what.
Russia now hurting
At least 3 dead, 15 injured after explosion near Moscow cafe — cause under investigation. More concerning however is the amount of fuel shortages that Russia facing all the way from the border with Georgia, to the South closer to Ukraine territory and in Saint Petersburg–this follows after USA led Ukrainian forces have struck oil refineries deep into Russian territory that provided considerable amounts of resilience for the country.
The attacks against Russia are continuing despite Russia gaining territory in the Ukraine and clearly having the capacity to level Ukrainian operationally. On a separate note, I’ve heard that Russian employment figures have many locals struggling, too.
A Comment on Ceuta
You probably have seen by now the invasion of Ceuta. A clearly organized procedure that was meant to destroy the autonomy Spain held over the territory by entirely destabilizing it.
It would seem, given how Israeli X accounts, Jewish lobbyists, Jewish funded NGOs have reacted, and how they previously aimed comments towards Spain (as did Trump) that this was a coordinated attack against the region. All elements of their invasion were planned for, to the point where Moroccans were quite upset where they didn’t have food and shelter upon arrival and willfully returned to Morocco. One said “cigarettes are 1 euro here, that’s ridiculous! Without food and free shelter, I may as well go back home”.
Ceuta is uniquely strategic however as it hugs around the Straits of Gibraltar, a place that still regulates international trade. Removing this from Spanish sovereignty is more-so than a political point of revenge, it’s a direct attack on European territory and their standing over global commerce. Which, if you’ve been paying half attention is honestly nothing new.
Again, Europe loses a bit more land, and more apolitical “normie” people are waking up to the patterns of those who are pushing conflicts around the world. A bad day for both of them.
A note to share
It’s my belief that events in the Middle East are going to ramp up again. Once this happens, the probability that critical infrastructure like desalination and refinery plants that are hit is much higher than 0%, and if that’s the case, then living in a 50 degree sandy desert becomes a dangerous place to be.
If you have friends or family who still reside there–who may want to leave for obvious reasons. I am collecting names to see if I can charter an aircraft for them to leave on a moments notice. I have recently reached out to jet operators in the region to touch base. Please write me if you feel like you know somebody who could benefit from a quick escape.
