just the phrase 'pivot away from newspaper-focus' makes me depressed. AP/UPI and similar old style 'just the facts' journalism (while they are not without institutional bias!) are the life blood of Internet conversations and debates. If they disappear or fall victim to #Enshitification – we are doomed. /jd https://mstdn.social/@Mediagazer/116361169523210285 #Media #Capitalism #MSM #USpol #Journalism

Yesterday I posted this https://todon.eu/@jd/116357591067448343 Shanaka Anslem Perera Tw/X essay about the 1974 Kissinger deal with the Gulf Arab states to buy US Treasuries. Today Bloomberg media reports the same... /jd The Iran War Just Broke the Petrodollar (Bloomberg) https://archive.ph/20260406041307/https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2026-04-06/the-petrodollar-loop-supporting-the-treasury-market-is-broken – 'The virtuous loop that has seen America underwrite stability in the Middle East in exchange for Gulf states recycling their dollar revenues into US Treasuries has been broken. The understanding traces back to 1974, when Henry Kissinger struck one of the most consequential financial deals in modern history. Saudi Arabia would price its oil in dollars and park the surpluses in US assets — Treasuries above all. Other Gulf states followed. In exchange, America provided security guarantees and a stable global order. The arrangement was elegant in its circularity: Oil consumers paid dollars for energy, those dollars flowed to Riyadh and Abu Dhabi, and from there back into Washington’s debt. For 50 years, this petrodollar loop quietly subsidized American borrowing costs and cemented the greenback’s role as the world’s reserve currency. The US-Israeli war with Iran has fractured this arrangement — at both ends...' #UKpol #USpol #EUpol #Capitalism #Dollar #Euro #Currency #Kissinger

Eliminating “Talent Pipelines”. This is the new sanitised word-slop from the USA/Israelis... . . .

Trita Parsi: 'Members of the Iranian Jewish community inspect what is left of their synagogue in Tehran after Israel bombed it. On Passover...' . . . Israeli Zionists bombing synagogues. I was reluctant to post about it t this morning because a) it seemed too far fetched to be believed and b) it was poorly sourced news and there is too much disinfo already on social media. – But it seems confirmed now.

I first discovered Paul of 'Combat Veteran News' at the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Every day he makes quality analysis videos about how wars happen from a technical 'Military Science' POV. He is no friend of Putin but tries to remain dispassionate and objective. Now into the 2nd Trump era he has reluctantly become 100% #TDS*, like me. He is one of the few Mil Vet voices who has repeatedly and loudly telling US Soldiers it is illegal for them to follow unconstitutional orders. https://youtu.be/__BG6cvLyoY *Trump Derangement Syndrome #CombatVeteranNews #JD20260407 #JDLinkBlog #Iran #USA #Israel #EndlessWar #IranWar

#share U.S. HOUSE RESOLUTION 1155 https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-resolution/1155/text – 'Impeaching Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors. [...] ARTICLE I: WAR POWER - MURDER - PIRACY In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, in violation of his constitutional duty to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has usurped the congressional war power enshrined in article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution by, among other things— (1) initiating war and murdering scores of putative but unproved drug traffickers in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific; (2) committing war crimes in violation of the War Crimes Act of 1996; (3) blockading Venezuela; and (4) committing piracy on the high seas and coastal waters by theft of Venezuelan oil. Mr. Trump has unconstitutionally initiated war as a belligerent or co-belligerent against Iran, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, Nigeria, and Gaza. He has threatened military force against Panama, Colombia, Cuba, and Greenland. In all of these endeavors, President Trump has acted without constitutionally required congressional authorization...' #JD20260407 #JDLinkBlog #Iran #USA #Israel #EndlessWar #IranWar #USpol #MAGA

@jd And you all thought you were winning? You wont win this war because you are blind to the Axis behind and even only against them is just a pin point. USA you lost this war of aggression already. In 1 month, breaks all records. Even with cowardice bombing you did not succeed let alone a boot on the ground. This war shows your real might after attempts in Ukraine that you are just a paper tiger with nukes yes. But you forget you fighting an allie of Russia that has a lil more nukes and China. You are a fucking stupidkind of people mostly this generation. And I hope your people will be ok but your army destroyed so that you align with the rest of the fucking world and hang this Trump as well. Now if China takes Taiwan.. what then??? you can't do any fucking thing about it or North Korea takes over South as no one respects International laws these days what you gonna do with 1 unit of super trained Delta's there at the 38th degree Anti Americanism grows each hour not day over here in EU You have The most superior idiot ever marked as president but then twice, so please don't tell us is you the people that are wrong.
