  1. Darn good article from Burning Platform

    Is NASA Artemis II Fake? – Real Moon Mission or AI Hoax?

    https://www.theburningplatform.com/2026/04/08/is-nasa-artemis-ii-fake-real-moon-mission-or-ai-hoax/

    “People point out inconsistencies in the footage. Videos on the mission’s progress are limited, leading some to question the authenticity of the footage and images shared by NASA.

    “AI and Deepfake Technologies: With advances in AI, creating highly realistic images, videos, and simulations is more accessible. Some pointed out that NASA uses AI-generated content to simulate the mission without actual space travel. Only a lauch could be real, but does not go to what they call ”space”.

    Astronauts as Actors: The claim that astronauts are actors rather than trained space professionals is a recurring theme in conspiracy circles. This notion suggests the entire mission is a performance to further their deception

    The deeper you dig, the more the official narrative falls apart. The inconsistencies, the lack of follow-up missions, and the government’s continued secrecy about extraterrestrial life all point to one conclusion: We never landed on the moon in 1969, and the government has been hiding the truth about space and aliens ever since.”

  2. Toni and Jack, thank you both for what are each quite valid answers for my question. AND, Happy Easter to all.
    Seems the AI response will just “naturally” (programmed as it is to push the common narrative) come up with that response. Make me think there must be some organization like OPEC for the West in which they get together and set a price. I know OPEC sets prices for Algeria, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, the Republic of the Congo, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Venezuela. But even some of those countries subsidize the price and can offer $ .17/gal to the populace. How that works, I have not a clue. I do know the prices in the UAE are similar to ours here in the US…that was a bit of a surprise.
    I was in Live Oak this AM and the price on the way IN was $4.29/gal and on the way back after about an hour and a half, it had gone to $4.19. Maybe I should have stayed longer.
    Jack…I have heard Trump countless times stating how much oil we have…more than anyone else. But I never hear him say when we are going to start using that “abundance” and bring the toll down. Seems it does not matter to the average Joe and Jane UNLESS the lines get too long at which point inconvenience rules and Americans start cycling and walking. And yet, I’ll see 20-30 minute wait lines at Starbucks to get that fix. I get confused. What drives the American consumption habit? Inconvenience?
    The dread of caffeine withdrawal? Peer pressure? Fear of an empty tank? Fear of any empty cup?
    It’s too much for me.
    Maybe that’s why I drive a 2004 Prius and drink my Joe at home

    1. Oh and do not be frightened. Nothing is as we were told — including what this is all about. You will make it through very nicely.

  3. https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/component/content/article/iran-offers-eu-access-to-strait-of-hormuz-but-theres-a-catch

    Iran offered the European Union (EU) transit access through the Strait of Hormuz. Sounds like a small diplomatic move. It is not. The offer is a financial nuclear bomb.

    The Hormuz Strait carries 20% of ALL the world’s oil

    Europe’s energy bill jumped $16.2 BILLION in just 30 days

    Natural gas in Europe is up 100%. Oil up 60%. Diesel at $200/barrel

    Dollar reserves have already fallen from 70% to 56.9% in 25 years

    If Europe takes this deal, they pay in euros — not dollars

    One major non-dollar oil deal is all it takes to show the world it CAN be done. …..

    1. Jack, you are a wise person so I have what may seem to many to be a quite elemental question.
      WHY is the price of gasoline in the US so high (over 4 bucks here in Suwannee County), if we are now producing, according to Trump, more oil than any other country. It certainly is not going through Hormuz.

      1. Good call. Jack is a wise person.

        So I asked the brave browser, “Why is gas so high in the US if the US is energy independent?” Its AI said this:

        Gas prices in the U.S. remain high despite energy independence because oil is traded on global markets, and prices are set internationally, not domestically. Even though the U.S. produces more energy than it consumes and is a net exporter, global supply disruptions, geopolitical tensions, and market speculation—such as those involving the Strait of Hormuz or conflicts with Iran—immediately affect global oil prices, which in turn drive U.S. pump prices.

        Replacement cost and consumer behavior also explain rapid price increases. Gas stations price fuel based on what it will cost to refill their tanks, not what they paid weeks ago. When wholesale prices surge, retailers raise prices quickly to cover future costs. Additionally, the “rockets and feathers” effect describes how prices rise fast but fall slowly, due to heightened consumer sensitivity during spikes and reduced competition among stations during declines.

        Key factors linking U.S. prices to global markets include:
        • The law of one price: Traders arbitrage price differences, keeping U.S. oil prices aligned with global benchmarks like Brent crude.
        • Refinery needs: U.S. refineries often import specific crude types (e.g., heavier, lower-quality oil) while exporting lighter domestic crude.
        • Global integration: The U.S. benefits economically from energy exports, but this ties domestic prices to global supply and demand.

        While energy independence improves supply security and supports the economy, it does not insulate the U.S. from global price volatility.

      2. Hi Will — thank you for the kind words.

        Here are a few unrehearsed comments and my thoughts on your oil price question.

        Oil prices are complicated. The US produces a large amount of oil, but not enough for America’s current demand. Refineries purchase oil on the global market and have deals and agreements that continue to rely on imported oil. Ramping up enough supply and waiting till oil agreements and commitments, etc., work through will take time. Further, various types of fuel products are refined from different oil-based products, and refineries obtain the best oil products for refining by sourcing high-quality feedstocks from global offerings.

        Finally, inflation is affecting oil prices too, independent of supply and demand. The US dollar is being deliberately destroyed now. This is part of Trump’s mission: ending dollar hegemony and forcing Americans into a digital currency. Privacy currency will no longer be available to Americans (eventually, to all nations) or to Western European colonies. This is part of the move to a programmable surveillance currency and an absolute requirement for the implementation of a technocratic control grid that then can be used by any of the several deranged cults vying for control of the world. Dollar buying power will begin falling quickly now that Iran (playing its part) announced today that it will accept Euros for oil from European oil buyers. I say expect Weimar-style price inflation and continued rising oil prices due to a manufactured war.

        Going forward, the USA will need a commitment to producing more oil, reopening previously shuttered oil production sources, and time to bring oil prices down as America restructures its manufacturing and infrastructure to support a non-superpower nation supporting itself the old-fashioned way. This will, down the road, bring a better life to the people, as long as they play by the new prison camp rules. After people acquiesce to the new rules, the world will settle again, entering the 2030s — only to find many surprises coming after that too.
