WEF "agenda contributor", Yuval Noah Harari: "When I look at Bitcoin... I don't like it because this is a money built on distrust."

"We don't trust the banks, the governments, so we don't want to give them the ability to create as much money as they like, so we create this Bitcoin."

"I do think that the future belongs to electronic money, but what we have seen over the last centuries is that it's actually a good idea to give banks and governments the ability to create more and more money, in order to build more trust within society."

🇸🇦 Saudi Aramco Loses Part of Profit Despite Higher Oil Prices

Saudi Aramco, the world's largest oil company, saw its net profit for the first quarter drop by 14.5% year-on-year to $27.27 billion, according to its financial statements.

Last year, the company reported a net profit of $31.9 billion in the same quarter. Despite the decline, the average realized oil price in the first quarter of 2024 was higher than the previous year, averaging $83 per barrel compared to $81 per barrel.

Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) also fell, decreasing by 9.1% to $53.7 billion. Additionally, free cash flow dropped from $30.9 billion to $22.8 billion.

Capital expenditures rose to $10.83 billion, up from $8.75 billion in the January-March period of 2023. For the first-quarter base dividend, the company will allocate $20.3 billion and pay an additional $10.8 billion to shareholders. Saudi Aramco expects to declare total dividends of $124.3 billion in 2024, including base dividends of $81.2 billion and performance-linked dividends of $43.1 billion.

Saudi Aramco adheres to Saudi authorities' decisions to reduce oil production. In the first quarter, Saudi Arabia cut its output by an additional 1 million barrels per day beyond its quota under the OPEC+ agreement.

🏴‍☠️ 🇲🇽 💉 Mexico's Cartel Map 2024

🔶️ Cartel control varies in its intensity. In extreme examples, such as in Comalapa, Chiapas, the cartel exerts brutal and visible control over many aspects of life. But in others places, such as Mexico City, cartels can be quietly operating to make deals with federal officials and launder money.
