Aug 3, 2025 ~ "Trump’s Trade Deal With Europe Is Absolute Boon for U.S. Energy" Last year, the EU imported 16.5 million metric tons of LNG from Russia, an all-time high. In other words, the EU is paying for Putin’s Ukraine invasion. However, this tenuous situation, in which the EU funds the Russian war machine, is coming to an end, finally."
The EU has since announced it seeks to “phase out all Russian gas imports by January 1, 2028” with the US more than ready to fill the gap. [Energy, Russia, Trump Win]
Aug 3, 2025 ~ 'South Korea Agrees to Invest $350 Billion, Lead Massive Shipbuilding Project in Trump Trade Deal'
“The Deal is that South Korea will give to the United States $350 Billion Dollars for Investments owned and controlled by the United States, and selected by myself, as President,” Trump wrote. “Additionally, South Korea will purchase $100 Billion Dollars of LNG [liquified natural gas], or other Energy products and, further, South Korea has agreed to invest a large sum of money for their Investment purposes.”
“It is also agreed that South Korea will be completely OPEN TO TRADE with the United States, and that they will accept American product including Cars and Trucks, Agriculture, etc,” he added. “We have agreed to a Tariff for South Korea of 15%. America will not be charged a Tariff.” [Economy, Energy, Tariffs, Trump Win]
Aug 4, 2025 ~ 'A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Lies'
Fresh off their #FakeNews fiasco of using a very sick Palestinian boy to prove that the Israelis were 'starving' the Gazans, they follow up with a BS picture of 1950s smog to fearmonger about Trump's EPA rollback of the 'endangerment' label on CO2. CO2 has never been the cause of smog or pollution of any kind that can be seen or detected at all.
"Misusing photographs and illustrations this way is a variation on the deceptive headline--create the narrative you want before anybody's rational mind can kick in. Only with photographs is it even more impactful and deceptive. The old saw that 'a picture is worth a thousand words' is ridiculously wrong. A picture is worth a lot more than that, and almost nobody reads a thousand words anymore. If 10% of people read more than a paragraph, the writer is lucky. Pictures and headlines shape what most people think, and the Times knows that."
That is why they do it. [Climate Change, Energy, Fake News, Israel]
