Today it is USD81.45
Up from USD70.00 last month.
When the gas companies purchase crude oil supplies, and send them to the refineries, these stocks are still held by them, not yet sold into the supply chain to be sold to the customer at the gas pump.

Market commentators of the typical sort on your Seven O'Clock News, never seem to realize the original costs will be marked up to the ultimate customer somewhere down the track, not today, when Brent Crude is being quoted as some kind of indicator of something, dunno what (dunno what they think it is).
The idea that secular inflation has been resolved at all is ludicrous.
What this means is that interests rates will rise some more, and inflation will push prices up more than they already are (up).
Some commodity prices (though not energy and oil) may fall as demand falls -, but not monetary commodities.
In today's world where just about everybody exhibits advanced cases of ADHD, every short-term move that is made by the general market - is premature; with the real consequences being visited on people in forceful ways, eventually.
Oil companies clear and replace their 'on hand' oil stocks at much greater mark-ups in these market conditions than in normal times, at times when the markets were calmer because, they require to factor in potentially higher future prices for acquisition of new crude stocks! People erroneously suppose that just because there was a short-term drop in raw crude prices (cease-fire last month), the future gas pump prices will go down. They will not. They will go up!
I mention all this to underscore something about human people.
Take original Old$. Or 'Old$#1.'
He says things and half the time it's because he doesn't remember!
I'm sure he's said in here, that even though he worked at the relevant times in question literally in Chicago in a merchant bank, and dealt in NYC with all of the major people in the WTC - Cantor Fitzgerald Securities (including KF Securities Japan), Bear Stearns, all of them really one way or the other - he never came across Jeffrey Epstein.
But if you go and access his actual memories, there, you will find a whole other story.
He knew this guy called 'Russell Lindsay' in Australasia, who was another government person in the same weirdo government place he was at -, and Russell would invite him to these 'rich people private parties' in a local suburb called Northbridge, where the super-wealthy girl who owned a wine bar around the corner, lived, in a big rambling 'Federation-style' house where the parties were held.
Who used to turn up to those parties was who later became a Minister in the Australian Government, and a very successful international hockey player and Olympic Gold Medal Team Coach, Ric Charlesworth.
Ric would enter with a literal bevy of athletic and fairly good-looking women around him. I gather mostly from the Women's Hockey Team world.
Lindsay, on the other hand, would get called into the government office every now and then, about his other job, which was as a male model with a significant international modelling agency - the one that had Fabio on its books. Russell Lindsay knew Fabio personally.
But all of them, pretty much all of the people I have indicated, were in this 'Cult' known as the 'Eternal Values Cult.' So okay, if we don't say 'all of them were in it,' certainly all of them knew of it, and knew personally some people in it, and knew all about it - the whole thing.
What always surprises even me, about this kind of thing, is how close to real stuff, these problematic affairs run: the particular Cult Leader of 'Eternal Values,' no one you would take a second look at other than because he adopted the idiography of a handful of CIA field operations and operators (strange colorful exotic garb, tropical birds on shoulder, similar...), nonetheless claimed to be someone from Arcturus (this is very clearly held in Old$'s memory cells, don't know why he thinks he's forgotten it), and apparently wanted to have all of these extra good-looking people around (him) and this was, again, apparently, some kind of indication of that he was from some advanced evolved civilization.

Nothing could have been more dissonant! ...About this individual and those around him - I personally find most of the, albeit they were highly successful, models, somewhat dubious in terms of being actually good-looking. They seem, not bland exactly, but aesthetically facially weak somehow; 'fabricated,' 'manufactured.' There was a falseness about them. At least to me so.
And this was not so with Russell Lindsay who could have aced all of the 'big names' at that Agency, and he did do some work for them commercially, but not a lot.
'Eternal Values' was closely linked with Naomi Campbell and Flavio Briatore and -, Jeffrey Epstein.
So, Old$'s, 100% you did know these guys.
You just didn't remember that you knew them. Maybe because 'in what context did you know them...' Wasn't in the finance racket - was in the big-league modelling world. Except those two worlds meet in the middle with all of the rich people; who are in both (worlds).
More than one of you here whine on about 'dreams only dreams' and 'where are the hard material bodies' -, so to speak.
Now for this I am going to go back to some old books - some ancient literature, as I note recently, that even Richard Dawkins says you must read and know, in order to understand modern Western Culture (even though you don't have to believe in it, or in everything in there).
Thus the Bible is what we will be looking at right now.

In there, there is a phrase converted in English about being 'born again.'
Of course that is not what the original language texts say.
And again, as has been pointed out here many times, the Ancient Greeks were comfortable with writing down 'words' where it seemed that they transpose letters and yet read the word out the way we would more commonly want to say it today: 'Ajax' but written 'X-Ai-Tz' or 'Ai-ia-X.' Or even 'ia-X' and 'X-ai-ia.'
Mycenaean Linear B is replete with these kinds of things, and academics and scholars spend countless hours attempting to make out what was really being said and/or meant.
And also, the Ancient Greeks loved to used the same words and key phrases but in rotations of subtle different meanings that added complexity and depth to the complete understanding of what was being said.
Most of the online references today claim that no one knows - or, the way they phrase it - 'the original source meaning is lost to antiquity,' where exactly the name 'Athena' came from. Although again, the earliest archaeological source is Mycenaean Linear B, about the 'Mistress of the City.'
However here are some ways of saying that person's, that particular individual's, name: 'EuNou-ia,' 'Ati-Nous-ia,' Neiysia' (the Greeks would lisp the middle of that word, which is how it transferred to Indian), Athe-Nous-A. And so on, not endlessly, but well -.
To Platon, he wanted to draw out the 'Nous' ('Mind') element.
To the Indians, the 'highest point' aspect, which is why they call it 'Mount Nysa' today. ...The Himalayas.
And to the real earliest language form - Tyrrhenian - they wanted to express the 'Mother' aspect so they placed the 'Ati' part, first. It's idiography. The 'name' is an idiogram. Or 'logography.' Not an actual pictogram, like Chinese script but similar in structure and design.
It is a huge mistake to think 'Christianity' is some monotheistic religion from base literature - it is not.
Jesus said these things - 'you have to be born from Above, in order to see the Kingdom of Heaven, and to Live Eternally in an eternal form of material body.' There is no 'again' involved. That came when someone else asked: 'But how, if someone has already been born and is a grown adult, can they be born again?'
But He, Jesus, did not say any of that in our modern English. He was using Greek and He explicitly said 'gennao Anothen.' Well look, I hate to add 'idiots' but really I should do. You can't be 'born' a living thing, unless you were born from a living thing (and yes, some living things had mothers who had died in childbirth, but notwithstanding that - a living thing is always born from another living thing).
And you cannot be born a living person, unless you are born from another living person.
'Anothen' does not mean the 'high part of your brain,' or 'the highest thing,' or 'from Above' (because also notice, at least the English translators agree the 'Above' should be capitalized).
It means from the Goddess Athena. 'An-Nous-Sthenos:' The Strongest Divine Mind. And for those who love all of this other stuff - definitely you may throw 'Anunnaki' into it.
And of course now, everyone will say, Good Grief! Does She give birth to millions of people??
No. These Divine People - these 'beings' as you like to say - are the intelligent sentient living beings (they are alive) immediately closest embodying the necessary Mathematical Forms which are in part unchanging, but necessarily in part, dynamic, moving, in the existential Universe of Everything.
You come from the Mathematical Forms, or else you don't come at all. But then to live, you come from other living beings.

| Watts. Totally under-exploited career. David Lynch mishandled that movie. But I think what you are saying is, L.A. is weird. And you have been there and you do know. |
So your higher mind is touched individually and literally, actually, by a Living Being. As a normal mortal human, by the ancestry of your lineage and your parents right there personally - in person at the time.
But as an Eternal Being, you must necessarily be touched by an Eternal Living Being.
The process is first your mind is touched - which cannot in any case happen unless it is in harmonic resonance with the energy of 'Higher Living Beings and Consciousness.' And then, after some basic preparing, you can meet other real material beings here.
All of your sensory awareness in the human mortal body, comes from, can only, come from - its standard sense lines. But once these are harmonically tuned to the Higher Mind patterns, then you can access different sense pathways and these after awhile, form up within your brain and neural system.
It will seem frustrating at first, when your usual senses give you very limited information, or access to what else is going on. At first; but then you will definitely 'sense' it nevertheless, as soon as 'the changes' appear, as soon as there is a field effect coming into play with you.
[2:15 - you should feel the changes. And you must prepare with the frankincense for the angels, right? It's what the book says to do. Well just do it then. And there are two music videos, because after the first - comes the second. In exact order. There is a reason]:






Doesn’t sound like any of that will happen to me in this lifetime (mind being touched by eternal beings). So what then happens when this lifetime is over? It all seems wasteful and this place like a sick game.
ReplyDelete'Doesn't sound like?' How do you know... But if you are not ('touched in your thinking network by a Divine Being'), then when a normal human person dies, all those parts which are suitable to be re-used, are. And that includes, also, their 'consciousness.'
DeleteBut seek, and ye shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For everyone (EVERY-one) who asketh receiveth. Oh Aladdin.
Delete...Only you, Oh Aladdin, being a young boy and rather slim of build, are able to enter. For strait is the way, and NARROW is the gate, that leadeth unto Life, and few there be that find it. But Beware! Of False Prophets - which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves! For by their fruits shall ye know them. And if there are corrupt and evil trees, that bringeth NOT forth good fruit, they shall be hewn down, and thrown into the FI-RE! (After this, din the of thunder and lightning, and a voice of wicked laughter - Ha Ha Ha Ha Haaaaaaa. That one; you know that one).
DeleteEvery good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and in the Cave, Oh Aladdin, you will find many good trees - with fruits of many diverse and glowing jewels: diamonds, rubies, sapphires. Fill your pockets with those, Aladdin, and return to the surface. And these jewels are magical, and glow with their own inner lights, so that you will see your way in the Cave's darkness by them - and in the upper world, or so it seems that it is the upper world although it is a lower one, you will profit greatly from them.
ReplyDeleteInflation! My favorite subject these days. Yes. How many cigars does it take to price a pint of yogurt? I noticed Paul Krugman explaining the rise in gasoline/diesel price with the theory that Ukraine has destroyed 10 per cent of the world's refining capacity by sending their explode-y drones into Russia. bla bla bla
ReplyDeleteBut here's something interesting: I asked claude to make a thing to do "x,y, and z" and it did this: it created a thing that actually does x and y, and a "how to use it doc" that uses the language of z to describe how to build things that actually only do x and y. Clever! And the weird lesson is that sort of deception is built into the model through the stuff it trains on. Perhaps it is even an inescapable aspect of language itself, or perhaps its just that it learned it from analyzing reddit.
