Importers, Exporters and Producers Trigger Force Majeure Notifications for Gulf LNG Shipments

from The Conservative Treehouse:

Force Majeure is a common clause in contracts which essentially frees both parties from liability or obligation when an extraordinary event or circumstance beyond the control of the parties, such as a war, strike, riot, crime, epidemic, or sudden legal change prevents one or both parties from fulfilling their obligations under the contract.

People would be well advised to wait a few days when announcements are made before jumping to immediate conclusions. The announcement by Qatar Energy of a force majeure notification did not originate from Qatar’s inability to produce contractual LNG supplies…..

Covid Lockdowns May Have Permanently Stunted Brain Development in Children, Alarming Study Finds

by Will Jones, Daily Sceptic:

The Covid lockdowns may have inflicted long-term harm on children’s brain development, an alarming new study has found. The Mail has the story.

The research, led by the University of East Anglia, found that the pandemic hampered children’s ability to regulate their behaviour, stay focused and adapt to new situations – skills known collectively as executive functions.

The greatest impact was seen among pupils in reception, aged four to five, when the first lockdowns began in March 2020.

Space exploration “will change humankind utterly and irreversibly”

by Tom Harris, America Outloud:

The most important reasons for the human expansion into space are not the standard things you hear all the time from the space agencies—the jobs, wealth creation, or even new science. It has more to do with human nature and the way we will change as we move into this new frontier. Dr. Charles Laughlin, Emeritus Professor of Anthropology and Religion at Carleton University, asserts that these changes are so important that the establishment of a permanent, self-sufficient, human presence in space will become our most crucial activity over the next century.

Why are Democrats opposing voter ID?

by Robert Curry, American Thinker:

For the same reason they oppose all manner of other things that benefit the American people.

Chuck Schumer has stated that the Dems will “go all out” to defeat a voter ID bill.  Why would they do such a thing?

The answer to that question is perfectly clear: for the same reason they threw open America’s borders, flooding our country with tens of millions of illegal aliens.  And for the same reason they oppose funding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.  The Democrats intend to steal the upcoming elections — and then to go on stealing elections in perpetuity.

Gates Foundation Funds Injectable Hydrogel Vaccine Tested Against H5N1 Bird Flu: Journal ‘Biomaterials Science’

by Jon Fleetwood, Jon Fleetwood:

Hydrogel forms a “depot” under the skin, slowly releasing vaccine components for weeks.

Researchers at Stanford University, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with lab infrastructure funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), have developed an injectable hydrogel vaccine platform designed to remain in the body and slowly release vaccine components for weeks, including formulations tested using H5N1 avian influenza (“bird flu”) antigens.

Governor Polis Will Likely Grant Clemency to Tina Peters

by M Dowling, Independent Sentinel:

Colorado Governor Polis will set Tina Peters free after a year, ending her nine-year prison sentence. He says he’s doing this because a friend of his was sentenced to only probation and community service for the same felony charge.

Realizing this sentencing disparity, he’s probably decided to grant her clemency in the next few weeks.

Why the Jeffrey Epstein Scandal Is About More Than a Salacious Island

by Alex Newman, Liberty Sentinel:

For a man who was a convicted sex offender and shady financier, Jeffrey Epstein sure had tight connections with many of the world’s rich, famous, and powerful, like former president Bill Clinton; billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates; and the King of England’s brother, Prince Andrew, to name just a few.

Jeffrey Epstein is most known for owning Little Saint James, a small private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands directly to the east of Puerto Rico, to which he would fly in rich and powerful men to engage in sexual immorality with underage women. Now, through the recent release of the immense Epstein files, the world is finding out that the iniquity taking place there and other places owned by Epstein was unspeakably depraved.

Famine Incoming? About One-Fourth Of All Globally Traded Nitrogen Fertilizer Normally Travels Through The Strait Of Hormuz

by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog:

If the war with Iran persists for an extended period of time, a lot of people could literally starve. Approximately half of all global food production is dependent on the use of fertilizer. Without fertilizer, crop yields would drop precipitously and there wouldn’t be anywhere near enough food for everyone. Even now, hundreds of millions of people are going to bed hungry every night, and there are severe food shortages in quite a few African nations. This is a trend that I have been closely monitoring for quite some time. We are at a very serious tipping point, and approximately one-fourth of all globally traded nitrogen fertilizer normally travels through the Strait of Hormuz. If we can’t get that fertilizer into the hands of those that need it, we are going to have a major crisis on our hands.
