Russia’s LNG production hits record high

The country has been ramping up output despite Western sanctions, official statistics show © Sputnik/Maksim Blinov Production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Russia increased by 8.1% last year to a record 32.5 million tons, the Federal Statistics Service Rosstat reported on Wednesday. Data showed that in December the figure was down by 4.8% compared to the same month in 2021, at 2.8 million tons. It was 0.4% higher than in November 2022. According to the report, 11.5 million tons of LNG was produced at the plant of the Sakhalin-2 project. The statistics service said the main reason for the record production was a reduction in the volume of repairs in 2022, after large scheduled maintenance work was carried out in 2021. According to Rosstat, LNG productio...

Naziyahu comments on possibility of Iron Dome shipments to Ukraine

'Israel' doesn’t want “a military confrontation” with Russia, the prime minister has said FILE PHOTO: The Iron Dome air defense system near Ashkelon, August 2022. © Jack Guez / AFP Nazi regime will carefully study the possibility of supplying Ukraine with defensive weapons, including the Iron Dome air defense system, Nazi PM Naziyahu has said. He added that his country does not want a confrontation with Russia in Syria. “I’m going to look into it. But I’ll judge it in the best way that [I] can,” Naziyahu told the French news channel LCI on Saturday. He stated that Israel would examine the issue “in light of our national interest.” The Nazi PM explained that the Nazi regime and Russian warplanes “fly within spitting distance over the skies of Syria.” 'We’re not interes...

Exxon Got Rich, We Got Played

BY RIVERA SUN Photograph Source: Philip Shoffner – CC BY 2.0 When I was a teenager, I knew global warming was caused by fossil fuels. So did Exxon. For decades, Exxon has been hiding the truth about the climate crisis, burying their own scientific reports. From 1970 to 2003, the oil company ran studies that accurately predicted the disastrous consequences of continuing to burn fossil fuels. They modeled out the alarming reality of the disasters we are living in. They knew that continuing to burn oil would lead to the forest fires that burnt my friend’s house to the ground, the floods that destroyed the coastal California city I lived in, and the drought that threatens the water supply of the high-altitude desert where I worked for 10 years. Exxon could ha...

Debt, Deficits, Secular Stagnation and the Which Way Is Up Problem in Economics

BY DEAN BAKER Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair The economy can have a problem of too much demand, leading to serious inflationary pressures. It can also have a problem of too little demand, leading to slow growth and unemployment. But can it have both at the same time? Apparently, the leading lights in economic policy circles seem to think so. As I noted few days ago, back in the 1990s and 00s economists were almost universally warning of the bad effects of an aging population. The issue was that we would have too many retirees and too few workers to support them. This meant a problem of excess demand. Since much of the money to support retirees comes from government programs for the elderly, like Social Security and Medicare, this meant we would see this show u...

The U.S. Blockade of Cuba Hurts Medical Patients in Both Countries

BY NATALIA MARQUES Photograph Source: Susan Ruggles – CC BY 2.0 Scientists in Cuba believe that the breakthroughs they have made in the health care and technology sectors should be used to save and improve lives beyond the country’s borders. This is why the island nation has developed important scientific and medical partnerships with organizations and governments across the globe, including with those in Mexico, Palestine, Angola, Colombia, Iran, and Brazil. However, such collaborations are difficult due to the blockade imposed on Cuba by the United States, which has now been in place for the last six decades. In a conference, “Building Our Future,” held in Havana in November 2022, which brought together youth from...

Swiss Miss: FBI as “Good Guys”

BY JAMES BOVARD Image: James Board. You can judge an audience by how much bullshit they tolerate from the podium. By that standard, the World Economic Forum attendees in Davos, Switzerland last week were either depraved or craven. Why else would FBI chief Christopher Wray not get hooted down for portraying his agency as “good guys?” Why was the FBI boss even making an appearance at a conference chockful of political weasels, billionaires, and depraved activists like former Vice President Al Gore? Actually, Wray was part of a panel on national security that included luminaries such as Ukrainian Vice-Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, who could have offered insights from her government’s perpetual failed war against pervasive corruption. Wray boasted that “the level of collaborat...

The Pentagon’s Massive Intelligence Failure on China: Climate Change

BY MICHAEL T. KLARE Photograph Source: Francis Domiano – https://www.flickr.com/photos/193162016@N04/51245972927/ – CC0 Given the secrecy typically accorded to the military and the inclination of government officials to skew data to satisfy the preferences of those in power, intelligence failures are anything but unusual in this country’s security affairs. In 2003, for instance, President George W. Bush invaded Iraq based on claims — later found to be baseless— that its leader, Saddam Hussein, was developing or already possessed weapons of mass destruction. Similarly, the instant collapse of the Afghan government in August 2021, when the U.S. completed the withdrawal of its forces from that country, came as a shock only because of wildly optimistic intelligence es...

Merchants of Spin: Monsanto’s Astroturfing of Glyphosate in the EU

BY ANDY HSIEH Photograph Source: Anztowa – CC BY 2.0 In a previous article, I discussed pending legal cases against Monsanto and the legal precedent that may be created if Monsanto were to succeed with a favorable ruling from the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in June. When this case is heard, Monsanto will certainly argue that the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) pre-empts states from imposing label requirements “in addition to or different from” those imposed under FIFRA. If Monsanto succeeds, this would create a split in the circuit courts which means a Supreme Court challenge would be the next judicial step. In this piece I ironized how many states such have tighter regulations around gambling and&nbs...

Nuclear Roulette from Hiroshima to the Cuban Missile Crisis

BY LAWRENCE WITTNER Photo by Maria Oswalt The development and the deployment of nuclear weapons are usually based on the assumption that they enhance national security. But, in fact, as Gambling with Armageddon, Martin Sherwin’s powerful study of nuclear policy convincingly demonstrates, nuclear weapons move nations toward the brink of destruction. The basis for this conclusion is the post-World War II nuclear arms race and, especially, the Cuban missile crisis of October 1962. At the height of the crisis, top officials from the governments of the United States and the Soviet Union narrowly avoided annihilating a substantial portion of the human race by what former U.S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson, an important participant in the events, called ...
