VACA MUERTA: PAMPA ENERGÍA TO INVEST U$S1.5 BILLION TO INCREASE OIL PRODUCTION 10-FOLD
Pampa Energía announced an investment of u$s1,500 million to develop its unconventional oil reserves in Vaca Muerta.
Before investors, Pampa's executives highlighted the progress in the development of shale oil in the Rincón de Aranda block and informed that it reached new highs in its gas production, mainly in the El Mangrullo and Sierra Chata fields.
"We have a planned investment of u$s700 million in Rincón de Aranda for 2025 and we plan to reach u$s1,500 million until 2027. Our goal is to increase our oil production tenfold and reach 50,000 barrels per day," said CEO Gustavo Mariani.
It is remarkable how in a context of historic production records, the people in charge of milking this cow insist that we haven't seen nothing yet!
This could mean more than energy independence for the "land of silver", this (if the trend and the hype continues) could mean a total shift on the Southern Cone's economic alignments.

Donald Trump's plan to end the drug epidemic in America by declaring war on the drug cartels.
"We will show no mercy on the cartels."
1. "Deploy all necessary military assets, including the US Navy to impose the full naval embargo and the cartels."
2. "Guarantee that the waters of the Western Hemisphere are not used to traffic illicit drugs to our country."
3. "Order the Department of Defense to make appropriate use of special forces cyber warfare and other overt and covert actions to inflict maximum damage on cartel leadership, infrastructure, and operations."
4. "Designate the major cartels as foreign terrorist organizations."
5: "Sever their access to global financial systems."
6. "Get the full cooperation of other governments to stop [the cartels], or we will expose every bribe, every kickback, every payoff, and every bit of corruption that is allowing the cartels to preserve their brutal reign."
7. "Ask Congress to pass legislation ensuring that drug smugglers and human traffickers receive the de*th penalty."
"When I'm back in the White House, the drug kingpins and vicious traffickers will never sleep soundly again."

The NK force deployed to Kursk will be composed of 3 generals and hundreds of commanders designated to operate in small units. Of the current contingent of 10 brigades, 4 are being transferred to Kursk.
Personnel from the Storm Corps unit are assigned a range of missions, including infiltrating deep into enemy territory during wartime, destroying critical infrastructure, targeting high-profile individuals, and inciting insurrections.
We can expect a modern force well-equipped with the latest thermal goggles and weapons.
In 2013, the Pentagon stated that “North Korean special forces are among the best trained, equipped, supported, and highly motivated.”
Additionally, in March 2013, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un personally inspected the Korean People’s Army unit within the Storm Corps, which was honored with the noscript of O Jung Hup-led 7th Regiment.
I believe that in the past 11 years, they have improved even further, especially considering North Korea’s military cooperation with other countries.
These special forces units have their roots in the same unit that raided the South Korean Blue House in 1968.
In my opinion, the weak point in the NK expeditionary force is the vehicles. The armored equipment of Pyongyang is outdated, but they know how to operate Russian armored vehicles, and it is highly advantageous to see these units using Russian vehicles.
Despite their outdated vehicles and lack of communication with Russian troops, history has shown that they are highly trained, innovative, and lethal. Their training and arsenal mark them as dangerous opponents in any conflict.
However, the direct interference of a third country in the conflict could open the doors to a new phase of this war. How will Europe react when the first Koreans kill Ukrainians?

EXCLUSIVE: FEMA Official Ordered Relief Workers To Skip Houses With Trump Signs
A federal disaster relief official ordered workers to bypass the homes of Donald Trump’s supporters as they surveyed damage caused by Hurricane Milton in Florida, according to internal correspondence obtained by The Daily Wire and confirmed by multiple federal employees.
A FEMA supervisor told workers in a message to “avoid homes advertising Trump” as they canvassed Lake Placid, Florida to identify residents who could qualify for federal aid, internal messages viewed by The Daily Wire reveal. The supervisor, Marn’i Washington, relayed this message both verbally and in a group chat used by the relief team, multiple government employees told The Daily Wire.

Donald Trump wants to remove US troops from northern Syria rather than leaving them as "cannon fodder" if fighting broke out between Turkey and Kurdish fighters, Robert F Kennedy Jr said on Wednesday.
Speaking to Tucker Carlson during a live broadcast covering the US presidential election result, the Trump ally, who is expected to play a major role in his government, said the president-elect had expressed his intentions for northern Syria during a plane journey.

Donald Trump's plan to stop the chemical, physical and emotional mutilation of America's youth.
1. "Revoke Joe Biden's cruel policies on so-called gender-affirming care."
2. "Sign a new executive order instructing every federal agency to cease all programs that promote the concept of s*x and gender transition at any age."
3. "Ask Congress to permanently stop federal taxpayer dollars from being used to promote or pay for these procedures and pass a law prohibiting child s*xual mutilation in all 50 states."
4. "Declare that any hospital or healthcare provider that participates in the chemical or physical mutilation of minor youth will no longer meet federal health and safety standards for Medicaid and Medicare and will be terminated from the program immediately."
5. "Support the creation of a private right of action for victims to sue doctors who have unforgivably performed these procedures on minor children."
6. "The DOJ will investigate big pharma and the big hospital networks to determine whether they have deliberately covered up horrific long-term side effects of s*x transitions in order to get rich at the expense of vulnerable patients."
7. "Investigate whether big pharma or others have illegally marketed hormones and puberty blockers, which are in no way licensed or approved for this use."
8. "Inform states and school districts that if any teacher or school official suggests to a child that they could be trapped in the wrong body, they will be faced with severe consequences."
9. "Promote positive education about the nuclear family, the roles of mothers and fathers, and celebrating rather than erasing the things that make men and women different and unique."
10. "Ask Congress to pass a bill establishing that the only genders recognized by the United States government are male and female, and they are assigned at birth."
11. "Protect the rights of parents from being forced to allow their minor child to assume a gender which is new and an identity without the parent's consent."

🇺🇸 By 2030, half of U.S. Latinos will be Protestant and less than half of Latin America will remain Catholic. Growing evangelicalism among U.S. Hispanic communities is one of the factors moving Latinos to the right on political issues.
The percentage of U.S. Latinos who identify as Protestant — evangelical and other Christian faiths — is expected to grow from about 25% today to 50% by 2030.

Latin America may no longer be majority Catholic by 2030. In 2014, according to Pew Research Center, about 69% of Latin America’s population identified as Catholic, in comparison with 92% in 1969. During the same period, the share of Evangelicals grew from 4% to 19%, a growth rate three times larger than the world’s population growth.

Nearly half of U.S. Hispanic Protestant churchgoers (45%) say their services include praying in tongues at least sometimes. The share is even higher among Hispanic Protestants who describe themselves as evangelical or born-again Christians (57%). Attending services where people pray in tongues is much less common among churchgoing U.S. Protestants overall (27%).

🇺🇸 🌎 The rise of Evangelicalism has become a matter of interest in recent years due to its rapid growth, which would seem to have been partially backed by the United States since the Nixon administration as part of a geopolitical strategy aimed at regaining control over the continent.
Ultimately, the growth of far-left terrorism in Latin America, accompanied by the emerging Liberation theology, convinced the US strategists of the urgent necessity to act in order to prevent its backyard from falling into the Communist bloc.
Liberation theology – a political-religious doctrine combining Catholic and leftist elements, teachings and world visions – emerged as the main result of the ideological ferment that upset the Western Christianity in the post-War era, and as a response to political and economic failures in the region.
Secretly, the United States kept funding the expansion of Evangelical churches in South America, seeing them as a way to “americanize” and turn the region away from Communism and Catholicism while simultaneously promoting American national interest and worldview.
De-catholicization does not mean dechristianization but the rejection of Catholic beliefs and teachings such as hyperdulia, the veneration of saints or the papal primacy. The most important Evangelical denominations are characterised by their strong support of Atlanticist positions, particularly regarding the War on Terror and Zionism.

Kemi Badenoch—The Least British Person Imaginable—Is The Conservative Party’s New Hardline Leader
Badenoch's mother came to the United Kingdom from Nigeria to give birth to Kemi just one year before Britain abolished birthright citizenship in 1981. She was then raised in Nigeria until the age 16.
She has spoken out against anti-White racism, and been labelled a “member of white supremacy’s black collaborator class” by some on the Labour party’s most radical left.
Badenoch has unequivocally said that not all cultures are equal and spoken openly about the fact that many immigrants bring “ancestral ethnic hostilities” across our border and into this country. She is beyond correct in pointing these things out.
But why are the British right-wing elite hiding behind a non-British woman?
Ultimately it is because anti-White racism remains alive and well in the UK and the right-wing elite in Britain are too cowardly to tackle the issue head on.
She can get away with defending the people of these isles in a way that the native British leaders of the Conservative party fear that they could never do, for they would be labelled racists and white supremacists for expressing pride in their ethnic group.

🇧🇼🇿🇼 Botswana to legalise undocumented Zimbabweans - president
Botswana’s new president has told the BBC that he wants undocumented Zimbabweans to be legalised by granting them temporary work and residence permits.
"They do jobs that would otherwise not get done," Duma Boko told the BBC Africa Daily podcast before his historic inauguration on Friday.
Botswana hosts the world’s second-largest community of Zimbabweans fleeing their country’s economic woes - and they are often resented, with deportations taking place daily.
The decision is not likely to be popular in the diamond-rich southern African nation, but Boko, 54, who has just unseated the ruling party that was in power for 58 years, said it was part of his plans to revive the economy.
President Boko said it was a challenge when thousands of Zimbabweans entered Botswana through the long and porous border between the two countries.

The End of History and the Last Man (1992) is a book of political philosophy by American political scientist Francis Fukuyama which argues that with the ascendancy of Western liberal democracy—which occurred after the Cold War (1945–1991) and the dissolution…
🇺🇸 Francis Fukuyama: Donald Trump not only wants to roll back neoliberalism and woke liberalism, but is a major threat to classical liberalism itself.
The blowout victory of Donald Trump and the Republican party on Tuesday night will lead to major changes in important policy areas, from immigration to Ukraine. But the significance of the election extends way beyond these specific issues, and represents a decisive rejection by American voters of liberalism and the particular way that the understanding of a “free society” has evolved since the 1980s.
When Trump was first elected in 2016, it was easy to believe that this event was an aberration. He was running against a weak opponent who didn’t take him seriously, and in any case Trump didn’t win the popular vote. When Biden won the White House four years later, it seemed as if things had snapped back to normal after a disastrous one-term presidency.
Following Tuesday’s vote, it now seems that it was the Biden presidency that was the anomaly, and that Trump is inaugurating a new era in US politics and perhaps for the world as a whole. Americans were voting with full knowledge of who Trump was and what he represented. Not only did he win a majority of votes and is projected to take every single swing state, but the Republicans retook the Senate and look like holding on to the House of Representatives. Given their existing dominance of the Supreme Court, they are now set to hold all the major branches of government.
The rise of these distorted understandings of liberalism drove a major shift in the social basis of political power. The working class felt that leftwing political parties were no longer defending their interests, and began voting for parties of the right. Thus the Democrats lost touch with their working-class base and became a party dominated by educated urban professionals. The former chose to vote Republican. In Europe, Communist party voters in France and Italy defected to Marine Le Pen and Giorgia Meloni.
All of these groups were unhappy with a free-trade system that eliminated their livelihoods even as it created a new class of super-rich, and were unhappy as well with progressive parties that seemingly cared more for foreigners and the environment than their own condition.
Donald Trump not only wants to roll back neoliberalism and woke liberalism, but is a major threat to classical liberalism itself. This threat is visible across any number of policy issues; a new Trump presidency will not look anything like his first term. The real question at this point is not the malignity of his intentions, but rather his ability to actually carry out what he threatens.
