TIL that first person to perform cardiac catheterization did so on himself. He then walked downstairs to the radiology department to take an x-ray to prove that the procedure was not fatal. Despite his success, he was fired and later became a Nazi. However, he eventually won the Nobel Prize.

Oil and gas revenues to the Russian budget have doubled

Budget revenues from oil and gas extraction fees rose 90 per cent last month from a year earlier to nearly 1.31 trillion rubles ($14.1 billion), the Finance Ministry said. Taxes on oil and petroleum products, which accounted for more than 86% of total hydrocarbon revenues last month, contributed the most to the growth, according to Bloomberg News calculations.

The increase in budget revenues followed a rise in the price of Urals crude, Russia's former main export mark. In March 2023, it averaged $47.85 per barrel after sanctions were imposed. A year later, its price has risen to an average of $68.34 a barrel, according to Bloomberg calculations based on data from Argus Media Ltd.

Obviously, the real cost of oil is higher, given the same data from Goldman Sachs and Platts, according to which three weeks ago the discount between Urals and Brent was no more than $4-5 per barrel.

Oil production tax receipts rose 88% to RUB803bn in March as the country gradually increased the levy while at the same time cutting export duties with a view to abolishing them completely from this year.

Receipts from income tax, which covers half of the country's oil production, rose 166% to RUB 587.5bn.

"Supersized human skulls, 15-inch sandals, and massive handprints have been uncovered in excavations inside a cave in Lovelock, Nevada over the last century, which have continued to spark the curiosity of scientists and the public.

"The claims about these 'Giants of Lovelock' originated from Native Americans who told stories about a brutal tribe of pale-skinned, red-haired invaders who waged war on the local groups, before finally being trapped in a cave and exterminated."

🇧🇪🇪🇺🗣 Belgian police forcefully shutdown the National Conservatism Conference (NATCON 2024) in the name of "public safety"

Police arrived shortly after the event began at the Claridge venue in central Brussels to tell organisers the event would be shut down.

According to a report on social media, police arrived while Mr Farage was addressing the event, giving attendees 15 minutes to leave the venue. However, officers did not appear to force the event to shut down and speeches continued.

Officers have now said they will not let anyone else into the venue and people can leave and not re-enter the venue.

The conference has already had to move location twice after mayors within the Brussels region refused the meeting’s chosen venues.

Emir Kir, mayor of the area where the conference was held, said: “I issued an order from the mayor to ban the ‘National Conservatism Conference’ event to guarantee public safety.

“In Etterbeek, Brussels City and Saint-Josse, the far-right is not welcome.”

NATCON 2024 was attended by Nigel Farage, Viktor Orban and others.

🇧🇪 Belgian prime-minister, Alexander de Croo about the incident earlier today at NatCon 2024:

“What happened at the Claridge today is unacceptable. Municipal autonomy is a cornerstone of our democracy but can never overrule the Belgian constitution guaranteeing the freedom of speech and peaceful assembly since 1830. Banning political meetings is unconstitutional. Full stop.”

📺 As a leader of a politically neutral platform, it is my responsibility to speak to journalists representing different political views. In February, I did a 3-hour interview with a journalist of liberal views. On the same day, I spoke to Tucker Carlson, who is famously conservative. This way I can remain fair to all audiences and tell the story of Telegram to everyone.

The interview with Tucker is coming out very soon. It will be in video format, which is quite rare for me — so be sure to check it out. I heard that Tucker is also launching an official Telegram channel, so let’s stay tuned for an announcement there 📣

The Swiss Demand Neutrality

Clown World is going to face an uphill battle trying to convince the Swiss to abandon their historic neutrality now that they’re already seeing how abandoning some of their other historical traditions has worked out for them. Given that giving into US demands has already cost them both Credit Suisse and their postal savings system, […]
