GUTSHOT PODCAST EP 89: HOW TO LOSE ELECTIONS 101 - 'CLOSE ONE EYE' OVER FOREIGNERS, ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

 

BEBUDAK UMNO, TOKEY KETUANAN SILA BACA - OIL PRICES CRASHING AGAIN : US$ 75 - US$76 PER BARREL NOW

Oil prices (WTI) have gone down to US$75 to US$76 per barrel yesterday and today. 

And here is the one month chart: Just 30 days ago oil was at US$102 per barrel. Its US$75 - 76 now. 

What does this mean? Left on its own, without hiccups and artificial disruptions oil prices will collapse. This is what is happening. The Iran War appears to be over though not fully yet. The mad mullas are not going to sign anything and after another 60 days we dont know what will happen. It could be shooting all over again. The fat lady has not sung yet. Lets hope for the best.

The other big peace dividend that will happen is Ukraine. Possibly by November this year. 

Hawkish Russian analysts say that by end 2026 the four main cities:

• 1. Kyiv will be encircled or face political collapse forcing Ukraine to negotiate; some even speak of capturing the city.
• 2. Kharkiv: Capture of the city after gradual advances from the north and east.
• 3. Zaporizhzhia: Capture of the city (OSTB: almost complete) and consolidation of the entire oblast.
• 4. Odesa: Isolation from the rest of Ukraine and eventual capture, depriving Ukraine of Black Sea access.

So there will likely be a resolution of the conflict by end 2026. Russia wants its frozen assets released, the sanctions removed, Russian oil will flow again. 

The US and plenty of Europe want this to happen. When that happens oil prices might CRASH to US$40 per barrel. (In 2016 oil prices hit US40 per barrel).

• There is a simple reason for this.
• World oil consumption is about 105 million bpd.
• World oil production now, despite Ukraine war, Iran war is 108 million bpd.
• This is already an oversupply situation.
• Minus Iran Ukraine wars, world oil production will jump. Oil prices will crash.
• Oil demand is still stuck at 105 million bpd.
• China consumes about 16 million bpd. This figure has plateaued.

Here are two charts. The first one China's oil consumption for the past 10 years.

As you can see the Chinese oil consumption has flattened out. For their energy China is becoming almost completely EV, renewables and most important of all nuclear.

Here is the more interesting chart. Here is the projected oil demand in China until 2031 - five years from now.

The projections are that Chinese demand for fossil fuels (oil and gas) will decline beginning about end 2027 - that is next year folks.  That is also when world oil production will still be increasing. 

Sheikh Yamani once famously said, 'The Stone Age did not come to an end because we ran out of stones'. 

Similarly the oil age will not come to an end because we ran out of oil. 

I am just so glad this will happen again - and in our life time. I am holding on to my 29 year old Mercedes. I have owned this engineering masterpiece for the past 29 years. It runs on petrol.

1. There is a feel of fear in the country.

2. People feel that something may happen to them. Individuals may disappear. Individuals may be found dead. Individuals may be kidnapped.

3. They do not feel the protection of the law. In fact the law is a threat. It may be used to justify wrongdoings.

4. It may be abused. The wrong acts may be justified and the right (according to the same law) may attract punishment. Clear criminal deeds are pardoned.

5. Serious crimes, obviously committed, are not investigated but when no crimes are committed, investigations are stopped on orders.

6. In fact the country seems no longer under the rule of law.

7. It is frightening.

The Mongolian, the out the window, the one found in the office, the traffic light junction, the pastor, the other fellow, that couple, the cemented oil barrel, the acid, the woman, the plastic toys.   

SO MANY PUBLIC HOLIDAYS. MACAM MANA NAK JADI HIGH INCOME NATION, NEGARA MAJU KALAU BEGITU MALAS BEKERJA?

Another public holiday - I just found out yesterday. The past few weeks we have had few, full five working day weeks. There has been some holiday or other that pops up, disrupting production, delivery schedules, adding overtime costs, adding logistics costs, adding storage costs. Everytime somebody wants to stay at home and not go to work, someone else has to pay for it. That someone is YOU. YOU pay for your own laziness. Malas has consequences. Malas costs money. Malas keeps you poor.

And MALAS BEKERJA has a distinct voter profile. And the politicians are aware of this. So the politicians (a substantial number of them) think the more public holidays, the more votes for them. 

That is how you become poorer. Malas bekerja tapi gaji jalan pula. Prices will go up - to cover the higher costs (gaji jalan tapi tak mahu kerja). The whole country ends up getting poorer.

In the end the politicians lose the votes. because the people keep asking 'How come our lives are getting more difficult?'

BERATUS UNEMPLOYED BERATUR INTERVIEW JAWATAN KOSONG DI INDIA. BERIBU UNEMPLOYED BERATUR INTERVIEW JAWATAN KOSONG DI MELAKA.

 1. Berita dari India. Beratus orang penganggur beratur untuk interview jawatan kosong di Orissa di India. Tak tahu berita lama mana tapi bukan lama sangat. Ramai daripada mereka ini masih tiada peluang kerja.

 2. Berita dari Melaka (lihat di bawah).  Beribu orang penganggur beratur untuk interview jawatan kosong di Melaka.  

Thousands of job seekers turned up at a hotel in Melaka after a semiconductor manufacturer offered starting salaries of RM3,500, creating a queue that stretched nearly 1km at its peak

held at Holiday Inn Melaka from 8am to 4pm yesterday, 14 June, and aimed to fill around 400 vacancies for operator and technician positions.

massive turnout, with applicants arriving hours before registration opened and roads surrounding the venue becoming congested with vehicles believed to belong to job seekers.

According to reports, some job seekers began queuing as early as 5am. By morning, the line had extended along the main road leading to the hotel

My Comments:

Pagi ini saya dan isteri menyaksikan satu peristiwa yang benar-benar menyedihkan. Seorang lelaki Melayu muda sedang membuat penghantaran makanan dengan motosikalnya sambil membawa dua orang anaknya. Seorang kanak-kanak kecil duduk di depan manakala seorang bayi yang lebih kecil berada dalam baby carrier yang diikat pada dada si ayahnya. Jelas sekali si ibu sedang bekerja dan si ayah tidak mempunyai sesiapa lagi untuk menjaga anak-anak tersebut. Saya tidak tahu berapa lama anak-anak itu terpaksa berada di atas motosikal, dibawa ke sana sini bersama ayah mereka — di bawah panas matahari. Mereka tidak boleh berlari, bermain, malah susah pergi ke tandas sekalipun jika perlu. Satu pemandangan yang menyedihkan, tetapi beginilah keadaan di negara ini. Rakyat biasa, terutamanya orang Melayu, terlalu banyak menanggung penderitaan.

Padahal negara kita kaya raya. Setiap kali penjual ubat dan Abu Khaddab buka mulut mereka sebut berbeliyon-beliyon Ringgit untuk projek ini dan itu. 

Atau mereka ditangkap rasuah berpuluh juta Ringgit. Baru ini seekor Jembalang Betina pula disaman berpuluh juta sebab 'ghaibkan' jewellery mewah.

Berita panas sekarang Rohingya bermaharajalela mampu membuat rumah apartmen EMPAT tingkat. 

Illegally built? Hello brader tapi bangunan sudah built lah. Bangunan sudah siap sejak zaman Saloma kah? Nampak tak kabel letrik hitam itu (yellow circle)? Siapa lulus pasang kabel letrik? Sebelum boleh lulus mesti ada bayar fulus. Depa ada bayar api dan air tak? Ada resit tak? Mana resit dia? 

Sekarang sudah pecah tembelang depa nak roboh pula bangunan ini. Tapi ada orang kata perlu ada peruntukan RM600,000 untuk kerja-kerja robohkan bangunan haram ini.

Banyak cantik Tuan-Tuan. Sekarang kita pula kena bayar (DANA AWAM atau TAXPAYERS MONEY)  RM600,000 untuk robohkan bangunan haram. Siapa dapat kontrak RM600,000 roboh bangunan? Dulu masa bangunan haram naik, mesti ada geng tutup mata sebelah. Mesti ada geng yang dapat untung. 

Bila projek depa sudah bau t_ _k kita pula kena bayar RM600,000 untuk roboh kerja bodoh mereka. Bila untung depa yang sikit enjoy. Bila jadi masalah kita semua kena tanggung. Banyak cantik.

Ketirisan, rasuah, kebodohan, tak ada akal. penipu, pembohong, penyamun mereka-lah yang bermaharajalela. Mereka-lah telan duit kita dulu. 

Lihat gambar interview jawatan kosong di Melaka itu. Hampir semua yang beratur di tepi jalan itu anak Melayu. Yang menghancurkan masa depan mereka bangsa sendiri juga. Yang nak interview mereka beri peluang pekerjaan adalah syarikat German. 

FRIDAY NOTES (12/06/26) FROM THE QURAN - SURAH YASIN

Non Muslims can read this. Some general knowledge. Out of the 114 surahs or chapters in the Quran, chapter 36 is called Surah Yasin. This chapter has much significance because it is often recited during special occasions especially at funerals and when people visit the graves of their dearly departed. It is often recited as a prayer at the graves of the dead people.

However with the appearance of Salafism there is debate because the Salafis do not practise the reciting of the Surah Yasin at funerals or at the graves of dead people.

Of course the vast majority of non-Arab Muslims do not understand Arabic and so they do not understand what they are reciting in Arabic.

Here are a few verses from Surah Yasin (36:60-64) with English translation.

Surah Yasin (36:60-64) 

60  وَأَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يَٰبَنِيٓ ءَادَمَ أَن لَّا تَعْبُدُوا۟ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنَ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ  

61 وَأَنِ ٱعْبُدُونِى ۚ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ  

62 وَلَقَدْ أَضَلَّ مِنكُمْ جِبِلًّۭا كَثِيرًا ۖ أَفَلَمْ تَكُونُوا۟ تَعْقِلُونَ 

63  هَٰذِهِۦ جَهَنَّمُ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ  

64 ٱصْلَوْهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ 

Here is the English translation (36:60-64)

60 Did I not enjoin upon you, O children of Adam, that you not worship Satan—indeed, he is to you a clear enemy?

61 And that you worship only Me? This is a straight path.

52 And he had already led astray from among you much of creation, so did you not use reason?

63 This is the Hellfire which you were promised.

64  Enter it today because you disbelieved.

This is part of the recitation at funerals and at the graves of the dearly departed.
