IS IT PROPAGANDA?®'s avatar

He is not quite smiling now that Trump's called a blockade! That's when you need to get your pop corn out and see how that China is going to react. It might take China on a straight path to a direct conflict with the U.S. over this! 🍿👀

My guess is the people that really run the world, the people that are loyal to banks not nation-states are looking to 'reset the debt clock' by starting another world war. This happens EVERY SINGLE TIME their bullshit, fiat system begins showing how broken it actually is. World War 3... hopefully it isn't going to go nuclear or biological or chemical but we both know it will.

You are a beautifully brilliant brave brain, Oh Wise Wolf 🐺🙌👏👏👏👏

This war is also about the death of the Petrodollar and the introduction of a new digital currency that will replace America’s fiat currency. BRICS will be involved in the introduction of the new CBDC currency along with Europe and America.

JC's avatar

Without question that was the plan: reset the debt clock and then buy distressed assets while leveraging AI tech to shove all populations into financial ghettos, forever.

It *seems* that the plan previously was to turn Europe into the techno-feudal center of this future, governed by priests such as Schwab on behalf of their living gods. There *may* have been a plan to use China as the future tower of such cryptofinancial interests, but certainly Chinese control experimentation is of interest. Xi's ongoing anti-corruption efforts to put the Red Families into a box appears to be hostile to such superanational financial interests, but who knows.

The really interesting thing about Trump's glorious adventures is how they seem to hurt everybody, except those most isolated from the West, but especially they hurt... European interests. This seems curious, but could be explained as a civil war amongst globalists to shift the future center of financial gravity out of Europe and into the USA.

Yea The US with depleted supplies killing a non threat and now we have real threats China and Russia.

Saskatchewan Canada has Helium production. A new 32 million dollar plant. It’s some of the cleanest helium on the planet because it is found combined with nitrogen instead of methane. Much easier to and cheaper to produce. The process can be up to 99 percent less carbon producing than conventional helium processing. Need a couple more plants and more drilling. In the eastern part of the province there has been test drilling for blue hydrogen as well. The highest concentrations ever tested to 96.4 percent hydrogen. Over 4000 sq km tested between 96.4 and 86.6 percent pure blue hydrogen. Sask also produces 500.000 barrels a day of conventional crude, also has 6.7 million acres of heavy sand oil which hasn’t even been touched yet. Uranium? The world’s richest deposits. Potash… world’s largest deposits. Alumina… one third of the world’s known resources. Also abundant REEs and N.Americas first processing facility. American Corporations have been investing very heavily in Saskatchewan. A new. Uranium mine, a new potash mine. REEs development. They have also been investing very heavily in Alberta’s new oil plays. N.America has everything we need. Canada has cheap hydroelectric to fuel processing facilities as well. 🤗

Is that why Trump was posturing to take Canada like Venezuela?

JC's avatar

In a word, yes.

In a few more words: Canada has spent the last 20 years working as hard as possible to sell itself to both Globalists AND Chinese interests, turning the land of niceness and timbits and five (5) banks into a jurisdiction that ignores criminals and happens to have the longest unguarded border adjacent to the largest armed market certain powers want shattered.

In other words, either the USA secures its border with Canada, or it gets Canada to secure its borders versus inimical interests. While trafficking enforcement is up, Canadian police are required by law to tell the parties subject to an investigation that they are such after a month. So... US police no longer involve Canadian police for anything more complicated than a DUI check. A similar lack of respect has extended to sharing of military intelligence info, as Canada leaks like a sieve. In practice this means NORAD is dead, but theoretically if the US declares Canada to have been invaded they could just... go do something about it.

Watch this space.

I feel DJT is working hand in hand with Xi and Vlad to take down the cabal deep state terrorists that control most energy sources, evil Luciferians, it is not just about oil, lots of secrets held in Iran, I feel certain that if helium is the key, DJT has that under control! Just my little ol opinion!

JC's avatar

Well, I hope so too, but another perspective is that these same Luciferians are the enemy of any people that would live free, sovereign and responsible before God. Who do not want to see their babies sold as meat and their lands plundered while the adults starve. Pretty basic, really, so any action against the cabal by disparate parties at the same time and for their own reasons could appear coordinated.

Dan's avatar

Funny that. Some of it’s true. But you forget that all your house stood up and told Trump to lay off of Canada. Tariffs against Canada have harmed the U.S. economy almost as much as they have Canadians. As for NATO Yeeah it’s dead I believe but we have already replaced it with a new pact. All the countries with a stake in the Arctic. The U.S. only has one fifth of the Arctic. ⭕️ has no claim to the North West passage. Hence the attempted annexation of Green land ( it’s the bigger white one by the way) and of course Canada for its part which is more than a third of the ⭕️ ! The west coalition is fracturing and the power dynamics are shifting. In one year your government has destroyed the trust and credibility of the U.S. with everyone of its trading partners. Who are distancing themselves from the U.S. as quickly as possible and forging other alliances. The BRICs are gaining momentum,strength and watching the U.S. implode. They have a larger share of World Domestic product than the G7 already. Europe has a larger population and consumer share than the U.S. it’s also now being slanted towards the Chinese side, as is Canada some would say. Myself I would rather not go that way but as Trump wanders around the Global neighbourhood pissing in everything , marking “His Territory” humping legs, snarling and barking at all the little kids I can only see U.S. support dropping like a stone. Not what I want to see happen but I believe it could be inevitable. Yup Canada may be fucked! But so is the U.S. by the look of it!

Chris's avatar

I don’t give a shit what Congress says

A bunch of feckless self enriching assholes who don’t back my POTUS

Tariffs work two ways

And since the fuck twats in the US Congress have decided off shoring every fucking job imaginable for profit and illegally flooding the country with cheap labor is better for them - those who remain face tariffs abroad

Free and fair means that or it doesn’t

If tariffs hurt in the short term so what

We’ve been hurt by tariffs on our stuff abroad for decades

I trust the guy who made billions in the real world and went to Wharton over the academics on Capital Hill, to manage our economy

If it takes some pain to get ahead longer term I’m for it

What do you think will happen THE SECOND the dimorats get power again ???

America LAST

The paradigm has shifted because of Trump

If China or Russia want through the Arctic WTF is Canada going to do? Carney might blow them first then bend over.

We will get Greenland BACK

We control the Western hemisphere now and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with the strategy

The left can’t see tomorrow let alone down the road. They pivot on every issue for SOLE SAKE of political expediency

Trust and credibility Leading from the FRONT Leading with STRENGTH is what we are doing now

You are deceiving yourself or willfully ignorant if you think BRICS has a chance vs US DOLLAR

PS We will control Kharg Island shortly even though we have already more oil than anyone else

Saying the USA is imploding is simply ridiculous

Fuck Europe - hey I LOVE ITALY 🇮🇹 ALBANIA 🇦🇱 IRELAND 🇮🇪 and others !! been there lived there taught myself Italian - just to illustrate - but not backing Trump and military after we have FUNDED NATO all these decades which allows those pompous stale thinking assholes their stupid socialist “healthcare “ (or in Canada’s case assisted suicide) because they always let us deal with the shit because WE HAVE THE STRONGEST MILITARY IN HISTORY WE ALSO HAVE YHE LARGEST AND MOST DYNAMIC ECONOMY to build it

The new pact EU-something includes those nations on our side and the others better rethink - you’ve already seen the detrimental (putting it mildly) effect of mass unfettered third world migration erasing what native cultures remain

Also .. Trump has been talking about these issues for decades - do you really think he’s flying by the seat of his pants 👖????

And unlike Hussein and the other dickhead potuses before him he’s not going to advertise his moves

Read his book 📕 Everything is part of negotiations …

There is helium deposits in the northern Great Plains as well North Dakota. Williston basin, Bakken runs both sides of the border. So possible Hydrogen as well. Just depends on the parts per million helium to nitrogen. I believe testing was lower Helium to Nitrogen in the deposits south of the CanAm but they developing methods of extracting helium from flare gas which at this point is just burned to get rid of it. Much the same as lithium can be extracted from water that is being pumped back down disposal wells. Problem being it is high H2S concentration. I’ve worked in SABA (supplied air) like scuba. Concentrations that will drop you immediately. You will start bleeding in your lungs. Pulmonary edema. 200-300 PPM. It’s a different experience when you’re working with oily man hole covers that weigh well over a hundred pounds, slippery gloves. etc and your life is depending on an air hose when you are inside a treater vessel. . 😳

Dan's avatar

Let you deal with the shit? Canada had troops in every major war in WW2, 1/10 of its population was fighting in Europe. We were in Korea. Afghanistan our sniper teams received medals from U.S. military command including bronze stars for saving American soldiers lives. Operation anaconda they broke the world record twice within two weeks. As for defending Canada? When has the U.S. ever fired a bullet in defence of Canada? You defend Alaska and as a part of NORAD, NATO. Canada has never been invaded by anyone. Well except the U.S. but that was actually Britain who was fighting then. As for Tariffs? You import 4 million BPD of crude and conventional oil from Canada at a five or ten dollar discount per barrel. Which is refined and then sold internationally, you generate over 250 billion dollars a yr from that oil. Sask potash the major corporations mining are American Nutrien and Mosaic they generate 8 billion dollars a yr profits while Royalties to the province are only 1.8 billion. With out Sask potash your corn crops are toast as is most of your agricultural production. As for Greenland it has been part of Denmark since 1733! The U.S. has never had a valid claim to Greenland 😂😂😂

Ken Davies's avatar

Shame Trump has pissed off the Canadians or is this the reason Trump threatened to takeover Canada?

Dan's avatar

I’m not in favour of off shoring anything from the U.S. or for that matter Canada. I’m not anti American either. We have had a very solid working relationship/ partnership for over 70 yrs. Both sides profited from that relationship and there is no reason why it couldn’t continue. As for Trumps agenda I supported everything he proposed accept his tariffs. The one way it has benefited Canadians is it woke them up to the fact that we had all our eggs in one basket, we relied on a single partnership. That is changing now. Europe even wants us to join the E.U. as a member state. Not something I myself agree with. As for Carney F him. I’m western Canadian we are not liberals

Provincial governments have not been Liberals for over Fifty years. Very few support Carney or his government in Western Canada why there are referendums on independence as we speak and major support for secession from Canadian confederation. We would rather be separated than governed by Ottawa and Eastern Liberals. We in the west support every other province in Canada basically. 95 percent of Canadian oil, 100 percent of its potash. Uranium and 80 percent of the agricultural lands are in Western Canada. Sask itself is so resource rich it’s unbelievable! Yuge! Greenland it will take 10 yrs to extract any REEs out, some are under 2 km of ice. There is no infrastructure at all, no power, no roads. Nothing! Temperatures drop to -50 F in winter even to the Minus 60s range. Pretty hard on mining equipment. It takes 8 to 10 yrs to make a potash mine produce. Your potash deposits are very deep compared to Sask. but it’s American Companies actually mining it. Same as Oil a lot of American oil Companies in Canadian oil. More investing all the time. So I don’t see where you feel you’re somehow being ripped off by Canadians. Consumption per Capita, Canadians spend multiples on American products over what an American does on anything Canadian built. But that trend may be dropping now, I haven’t looked in a while.

Deidre Lisenby's avatar

I thought most of the oil in the U.S. is crude. Cheaper to export than refine ?

JC's avatar

"Crude" simply means "unrefined". There are, however, a LOT of different types of oil, and the chemical characteristics of a given batch matter when setting up the refinery process. The output also matters, in terms of how much X or Y fuels or chemicals a given barrel of oil refines into.

Switching refineries to a different oil mix is expensive and time-consuming. US refineries are set up for US oil crude, as well as some for Canadian, and Venezuelan.

J B Perkins's avatar

Thanks for the info.

Crispin's avatar

Because it is a commodity, and its prices fluctuate on perception as much as reality. I always find it interesting that when gas drops into the $2-3 range, people don’t give the oil companies credit for lowering the price….

OMG - “If you got this far, you now know more about helium and its role in the AI supply chain than approximately 99.9% of the American public, most of Congress, and every anchor who covered the Iran war as an oil story this week.”

BlueNinja BlueNinja's avatar

There are lots of angles to view this war from, and to consider how the geo-politics of it will play out. ... . But ... PLEASE dont believe that China would trade a blip on the helium market, for a stable oil supply and a stable alliance with that ally that provides that oil. Its almost laughable. In fact, pls think it through, it actually IS laughable. Just think it through. ... Russia and China have lost now 3 MAJOR ALLIES. Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran, (and possibly all of the resources and trade that they provided). . Trying to spin this as a gain for either Russia or China is insane. WW seems HELL BENT on spinning every story against MAGA.

🐺The Wise Wolf's avatar

first thing, Lily wrote this article not me. i proofread it and approved it because her research is solid. so when you say "WW is HELL BENT on spinning against MAGA" you're not even yelling at the right person. she's a journalist doing her job and dismissing her work by assuming i wrote it is honestly kind of disrespectful to her

second, i need you to really think about the russia and china losing allies argument here. russia has more natural resources than any nation on earth. china has a massive supply of their own. they do not NEED cuba venezuela or iran for resources. that's not how those alliances work. you're framing a loss that isn't actually a loss the way you think it is

and look i'm just gonna say it plainly. trump's kid placed tens of millions of dollars in bets on an iran war breaking out RIGHT BEFORE a war in iran broke out. that's not me spinning anything against MAGA. that's a financial trail. i spent years as a financial analyst. when money moves like that right before a major geopolitical event, that's not coincidence. that's foreknowledge. if you can look at that and tell me there's nothing shady going on then we are just looking at two completely different realities

i'm not anti MAGA. i'm anti bullshit. if democrats were pulling this i'd be writing the same articles. the money goes where it goes and i follow it

no it doesn't change a damn thing.

RUSSIA AND CHINA DO NOT NEED ANYONE BUT RUSSIA AND CHINA.

do you have any concept how large those two nations are? their combined land mass is greater than nearly everywhere else in the world COMBINED. they have more natural resources than ANYONE IN THE WORLD. most of russia's resources haven't even been tapped into and china is sitting on almost just as many.

Kris Lovaas's avatar

🎯‼️The one other thing that China wants to control/own is Taiwan Semiconductor. Xi has been saying for about 2 years that he’s going to invade Taiwan in 2027. While we don’t have a legal mandate to militarily intervene if China attacks Taiwan, our 1979 Taiwan Relations Act mandates that we provide them with sufficient self-defense capabilities & treat threats to them as issues of “grave concern.” I’ve read that we are considering pulling weapons, equipment & troops from the FarEast to the Middle East. Wouldn’t that line up well if Xi follows thru with his threat of a 2027 attack? Thank you so much for this incredibly well researched & written article! You are light years ahead of other journalists about the real issues the world is facing. I’m sure I’ve mentioned in a reply to you before that I spent 25 yrs managing 2 Northern American divisions of an int’l electronic components distributor which was acquired by Berkshire Hathaway in 2007. I cannot stop thinking about the question I posed & the response I got, to our newly promoted VP of Asia in the year 2000 as we joined the mad rush to China, the new frontier for the tech world. I asked him what was going to happen in 25 years when the West had rebuilt China’s economy. The blank look I initially got was replaced by “Oh, they’ll be very grateful. There won’t be any issues.” I was shocked then & still am at the arrogance of that reply. The entire West was drunk on the opportunity to significantly reduce labor costs & enhance their profitability. If the labor rate was $10.00 an hour in the US, it was ten cents an hour in China. The increased shipping costs were easily absorbed in that 90% profitability differential. That response haunts me more & more every day as we watch what’s happening. I do not understand why our government & leaders of the corporations who set up in China did not think beyond the next quarter’s SEC filings & seriously analyze & execute strategic long term plans to protect our nations. Instead we gave China the financial resources to execute their long term planning, I.e. their Belt & Road initiative is first one that comes to mind. I know that China, Russia & N. Korea want a new world order with the power of the West greatly diminished. I truly fear that we handed them the resources to do it & the final piece, one compromised Donald Trump, has sold us out, just like the character in The Manchurian Candidate.

JC's avatar

Apologies, but: "Xi has been saying for about 2 years that he’s going to invade Taiwan in 2027," deserves receipts. It's a very specific assertion from a very specific individual. Now, if this assertion comes filtered through the US intelligence community, and voiced by media stenographers, then please be quite cautious.

There have been interests for some time within the US military and Neocon movements to take on China as some kind of "final boss" after Russia got pushed over. This design MASSIVELY accelerated when Xi took over and began a pogrom against "corruption", which apparently is code for "officials with financial interests in foreign countries". You know, officials following the usual colonial exploitation playbook for for satraps being plundered? Putting the screws down appears to have made monied interests in Western halls big mad at Xi.

Nearly as mad as at Putin, personally, after that man figured out how to break oligarchs off at the knees and slam the window on Rothschild fingers.

Now, as a summary, what I've heard from China is that they fully expect the long game of increased economic, financial and familial ties, combined with culture and shared language, will bear fruit and re-connect Taiwan eventually. When eventually is remains vague, but China definitely does NOT want the island to be openly used as militant wedge against them (and their trade routes), and has promised that if their interests are abused some action will take place. The Dems and Neocons alike have enthusiastically embraced pushing things too far, and are in the best position to make any date predictions come true.

Kris Lovaas's avatar

I stand corrected. My apologies! Xi had said he wanted his military to be prepared for an invasion in 2027, not that he intended to do so. According to this recent Reuters article, our intelligence is saying they don’t believe he will do so. Time will tell. https://www.reuters.com/world/china/us-assesses-china-is-not-currently-planning-invade-taiwan-2027-2026-03-18/

Dear Blue: I struggled with it for a long time because I wanted to believe in DJT and that he would undo the carnage of the Biden illegal administration. It’s nearly 2 years and there is no follow up on the details of the plot, just a complete fog bank similar to the Charlie Kirk killing. Looking back at the incident through that lens, it’s clear that Candidate Trump knew this was coming, used MMA tech to fake the blood on his face and then went with the script. Hate to say it but at this point you have to suspend your rational mind to believe the “God saved me so I can save America” narrative.

And Corey Comperatore? The other injuries? ... nevermind , ..., I DO believe that false flags will be done in spite of collateral casualties, so i assume thats your stance regarding him.

STEVE MADISON's avatar

Correct. Other than the absence of mass deportations, the largest tell is the Iran war and the financial devistation that it is doing to the global economy and the US Dollar. Unlike the other no-win wars the US has lost since WWII, we’ve had every reason to go after Iran since the Carter administration, yet no other administration, not ever Reagan even attempted to dislodge the Muslim radicals. This is mainly because of geography and the American dislike of having its young soldiers killed in an unnecessary war in a country on the other side of the planet. Every administration since the taking of the American embassy in 1989 has known this and has chosen to not engage. It appears that President Trump is doing the bidding of others who want programmable money and an AI surveillance state. If this is true, the fall out of the Iran war will be demise of the Republic and everything we hold dear. I’m terribly sorry for this.

JC's avatar

I know far too much about firearms to believe Trump would be both dumb and desperate enough to let someone shoot past him that closely. He was not in a losing position as of Butler, and presumably already had anti-fraud plans in place. Similarly, I know far too much about firearms to believe Charlie took a 30-06 to the neck, even as a ricochet. The lack of movement in both cases is evidence, however, that the questions underlying both incidents point to people and structures too dangerous to address directly.

Because... doing so at this late point will effectively put the finis on any illusions of the Republic. We are very, very well along the oligarchic rot phase, but not yet across the Rubicon. The financial taking we're seeing by what presumably is Trump's camp represents the solidification of new financial-political dynasties even as they maneuver to flay the old ones alive. The pattern with Trump has been for many decades thusly: he is aggressive with other people's money, bombastic and chaotic and very quick to pivot to new opportunities as that at least gives him the feeling of out-maneuvering opponents; but, above all, he's extremely careful with his own, family money. While bankrupt several times, those were corporate not personal: the Trump dynasty didn't take the hit.

He takes risks when he is personally hedged and confident that whatever the result he'll get something of value for himself. He will continue to spend American global capital because doing so wrecks opponents faster than it wrecks himself, until those opponents see extraordinary measures as the only reasonable ones left, and thus the door will be opened for Trump to take extraordinary measures. Results are NOT going to resemble the current Constitution, but may resemble The Prince.

STEVE MADISON's avatar

My remaining hope is that DJT has some base love/loyalty for/to America and really is playing 5D chess in a gambit to eradicate the debt, restore sound money with unregistered physical currency, send the migrants home, restore faith in the ballot, reboot the Constitutional Republic and destroy the top floor of the global pyramid. That is my secret hope and silent prayer because WWG1WGA.

Trump’s staged ear shot in Butler, PA reminds me of OT Leviticus 8:22-23, “And he [Moses] brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram. And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.” Leviticus is the 3rd of 5 books of the Pentateuch, also known as the Jewish Torah.

The significance of the ram's blood on the right thumb, right ear lobe and right great toe is one of consecration. As the High Priest of the Israelites Aaron was the mediator for the people between God and man. The blood signified that everywhere he went, everything he did and all that he heard were to be for the Lord's service.

I recall Trump was down and surrounded by SS for many minutes after the shooting. It has been reported that Trump was putting his shoe(s) back on. The assassination attempt and result are Biblical, to give the impression that DJT is acting as the mediator in the service of God. Make of it what you will.

The Petro-dollar, which replaced the gold standard in the early 70's, because we have an agreement with Saudi Arabia to be the main part of their military & they make every nation who buys oil from OPEC to change their currency into US Dollars first, gives the United States a money printing press. This is why we can print more & more money and go deeper into debt, than any other nation on earth. Iran & China are conspiring to make nations convert their currency into Chinese Yuan to buy oil & in turn safe passage of that oil through the Strait of Hormuz. That would take the printing press away from the US & move it to China. This would cause the United States to default on our debt & go into a massive depression, ending our way of life & our military power to protect ourselves, all because the politicians can't stop spending like druken sailors, making themselves & their donors rich while screwing American citizens and making us poorer & poorer. This is the #1 reason we are always militarily in the Middle East. Helium & rare earth elements are two lesser reasons for the US to be there.

When everything being done is done wrong, and done wrong consistently, 100% of the time, contrary to common sense or human decency, then it is being done intentionally.

So, do we conclude that Trump or Biden or Obama, Bush and all the other corrupt Presidents were dumb, or that they did what they did intentionally.

You are quick to show that Trump and family are doing things that are condemnable but shrewedly condemnable. So, they are not dumb.

If they are not just dumb stumbling morons, then what Trump is doing is intentional. And if it cuts off current allies, then it must be part of a longer range plan that most would consider indecent, insane, horrific, just plain wrong.

How about COVID 19 "vaccine" bioweapons? obviously anyone who researched it early on could see that it was not just "unproven," it was proved to be lethal and harmful, sterilizing agent, or simply slow death, if not lethal right away.

Biden, Trump and Obama were just fine with the mRNA Gain of Function bioweapon research going on (just calling it something that would

defend against others bioweaponry, rather than actually creating bioweapons to use on their own U.S. (and other) citizens).

Is it insanity? Stupidity? No, it is plain evil.

And I am not over simplifying. It is intentional and it's time (I believe) for even Wise Wolf to see that everything they do is intentional when it's 100% of the time appearing as madness.

What is being done is collapsing the former and current alliances and realigning everything.

Are the European nations' leaders making sense? They have huge Muslim populations that have political power. The leaders don't wish to anger them, so they don't condemn Iran but condemn the war on Iran. Much more can be said.

Europe as we once knew it is dead and will clearly be an Islamic Caliphate according to civilizational jihad, just as is the plan in the U.S. unless it is stopped somehow (that remains to be seen how it is even possible given the current birth rate).

It is intentional, not stupidity.

So, Lily asserts that Trump is handing China helium and chip making dominance intentionally.

Well, if he's capable of intentionally doing that, then if other chip maker suppliers are harmed, that is also intentional, or if current/former allies are negatively affected, then that is intentional just as well (if the administration (and other elites) is not dumb but has other plans for "Resetting" the global order.

While foreign suppliers are negatively impacted, American production will have an urgent need to ramp up production of helium and chip making capacity.

Time will tell, but I believe it's not just stupidity that is guiding these choices and policies.

Good. I hope the helium never comes back. That will get rid of all the evil AI crap permanently. The world has been taken over by these demons and the evil needs to be destroyed. Permanently.

Yep. This confirms I’m dumping apple products that support genocide. My next computer will be from China. Send me some tips you computer nerds.

Exxon Mobile has a facility in LaBarge Wyoming called Shute Creek Treating Facility.

Shute Creek produces 20% (1.4 billion cubic feet) of the worlds helium. It has eight decades of reserves remaining at current production rate.

Most of the helium produced in Wyoming has remained in the U.S. for various industrial and high tech uses. But, while production is running at full capacity, there are options to increase production for the proper incentives. If the supply crunch becomes acute, XOM might become one of the most valuable equities in existence.

The U.S. uses 45/50% of world helium production. The U.S. also produces 45/50% of the world helium production. Over the past decade the U.S. has vacillated between net exporter and net importer by a few % points, depending on the year.

There are a number of other smaller helium producers in the U.S. to get to the 45/50% production number.

Not investment advice.

The point is, helium cannot be shipped to Taiwan and South Korea fast enough for chip production to be maintained at its current levels.

It’s the smallest element. It gets out of everything it is stored in very rapidly. By the time a tanker ship arrived, half of it would be gone.

Right. But domestically we are fine. And, the value of XOM could be exponential because behind Qatar, that plant is the 2nd largest producer in the world. And a desperate chip maker in Taiwan will likely take half a tanker full, versus nothing.

45 day average, 25-60 day window from Wyoming to Taiwan. 10-20% loss likely at 45 days. A bit more at 60 days. But not 50%.

But even if it is 50% the chip maker is going to pay whatever it takes to get whatever they can get. At least that is my view. But I own a lot of XOM so I’m biased.

LOL.

That's the plan bro. Artificially inflate the value of helium. That's the point of what they are doing.

Nice looking sloop btw!

Haha. Thx. Been home since 2011. But 2026 will likely be our last year. Going to swallow the hook and become CLODS. Cruisers Living On Dirt. We spent a few months this winter in a condo to see how it went. It was fine. We will likely keep the boat for a while in case we need to escape. But we are 70 and my wife had PD. She’s doing great but she wants to be able to chart her own course so to speak, rather than being forced to make a change. So we are trying to figure all that out.

Health issues suck. As you know.

Unless.... you dangle carrot with your stick and get the manufacturers to pack up for the US despite the costs and different cultures and all the other crap they ran into the last time it was attempted....

"You cannot get your supplies unless you come here" starts to sound a lot like the advice of America's other great entrepreneur, Alphonse Gabriel Capone.

And then you control the (non-China, non-Russian) chips, and your opponents have to come hat-in-hand for the tools to AI-enslave their own populaces.
