This is revealing... As the report notes, Exxon execs have been in talks with Rosneft, a Russian govt-energy corporation, to resume Exxon's 30% stake/participation in Sakhalin-1, an energy recovery project located on Sakhalin Island and in the adjacent Okhotsk Sea, off the eastern coast of Russia. It involves the extraction and production from three main fields: Chayvo, Odoptu, and Arkutun-Dagi, and, get this, the project is estimated to hold recoverable reserves of approximately 2.3 billion barrels of crude oil and 17.1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, with a total development cost ranging from $10–12 billion.
It is structured as a production-sharing agreement (PSA) between a consortium of international and Russian companies, the Russian Federation, and the Sakhalin regional government.
SOOoooooo... If Exxon is back, chatting with Russian interests involved with Sakhalin-1, that hints at a few things. Obviously, the first is that this giant energy company has intel that says the war soon will end. Second, it allows us to realize that it's likely that no corporate reps would meet with Russian interests without the knowledge of the US government. This, further, allows one to speculate about "peace plans" and how much influence corporations have on US government policy. Clearly, Exxon has not been able to stop the US from continuing it's insane and unconstitutional weapons and cash handouts to Ukraine, but when the future seems to be more manipulable, is it possible that large corporations might influence the government, or the government might use its power to get the corporations to, oh, hand the politicians in power more money?

Ukrainian politician Andriy Parubiy Saturday was shot dead in Lviv. Parubiy helped coordinate the Maiden Coup in 2014 by leading the "Maiden Defense Force" (which was heavily controlled by the US/CIA), was a member of the U parliament from 2014 to 2019, and worked with Zelinsky competitor Poroshenko. He was very involved with the Donbass slaughter of 2014 and heavily tied to Nazi figures. The assassination appears to be linked to Zelinsky, who, it appears, viewed him as a threat and possible gunner to replace Zelinsky with western aid. LINK!

MiddleEastEye has a valuable report on the hypocrisy of former Biden National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, who, NOW, sees some of the badness being committed by Israel.
From the article:
"Former US national security advisor Jake Sullivan was skewered as a hypocrite on Thursday after an interview aired of him saying he would support Congress voting to withhold military aid to Israel over its decision to abandon a Gaza ceasefire with Hamas in March.
'The situation as it stands today, following the breakdown of the ceasefire in March, means that a vote to withhold weapons from Israel is a totally credible position. That is a position I would support,' Sullivan told a podcast hosted by The Bulwark media.
Sullivan was lambasted on social media for his statement.
'This has almost been too obvious to say, but Jake Sullivan is one of the original architects and cheerleaders for Israel's genocide and personally intervened to make sure the US is sending more bombs,' one commentator on X wrote. Sullivan was Biden’s National Security Council advisor and deeply involved in efforts to arm Israel after it assaulted Gaza following the Hamas-led 7 October 2023 attacks on southern Israel."

Trump has backed off his demand that Russian and Ukrainian leaders meet on their own, sans US intermediaries. Now, he says tripartite meetings would work. Nothing Trump says has any bearing on anything now. Unless he acts to stop funding and funneling weapons to Ukraine, Putin will have to continue the military campaign. LINK
Trump promises trilateral meeting with Putin and Zelensky
Following his recent summit with Putin in Alaska, Trump pushed for a one-on-one between the Russian president and Zelensky ahead of any trilateral gathering.

Shifting to the Trump tariff terrorism, an appeals court has ruled that Trump's unilateral imposition of tariffs is "illegal". Note that the court did not bother to look at the obvious vista before them: the US Constitution. And, curiously, the court is claiming that the tariffs can continue! So, let's point it out again. The 1977 Emergency Economic Powers Act that Trump is using to unilaterally impose these tariffs obviously is unconstitutional. As their "rule book" tells the politicians, all money-collecting bills have to originate in the House, and Congress cannot "delegate" its constitutional powers to any other body. Then, of course, there is the financial/economic drag that Trump is imposing, over $100 Billion through July, taken by the feds through the tariff tax, sucking it away from productive endeavors, changing consumer choices, and strangling the supply chain, which, also, will increase prices, destroying the consumers' ability to spend money elsewhere and employ whom they wish.

US District Judge Jia Cobb Friday ruled that Trump's complete dismissal of due process in the arrest and deportation of migrants is unconstitutional. Which is obvious. The Bill of Rights does not include carveouts to let the government players invent new ways to operate. It is a mechanistic set of rules that explain how the federal government is supposed to work when it is operated in contact with anyone. Immigration is a state issue. Deeper than that, the freedom to associate with others in a peaceful manner is not supposed to be subservient to the desires of government thugs or the "majority" as they get the government to act. LINK For those who are new readers, please remember that the word "immigration" does not appear in the US Constitution.

See if you can figure out the hipocrisy. The unconstitutional and operating-via-coercion Trump Admin's DHS tells people to "Pray without ceasing," after the attack on the Minneapolis Catholic school. Yet the US government is supplying weapons to the Israeli occupation state, and they are blasting Christian churches in Gaza, and the US backed the overthrow of Assad in Syria, leaving Christians at the mercy of al Jolani. Evidently, they want people only to see what they desire the public to see, not the wide array of systemic evils the US funds, and the wide array of ways the US funds attacks on the "praying" Christians, and others, all around the world.

Here's a lesson for the ages. Occupational "licensing" statutes are threats against people who might want to engage in free association. They block lower-cost suppliers from entering the market, thus blocking lower-expense buyers from getting any of the services in question. The "occupational licensing" racket typically is used by special interests to block entrants into a market and allow them to charge higher rates than if there were more competitors. LINK
