UN Urges Governments and Platforms To Implement Its Guidelines For Censoring “Misinformation,” and “Hate”
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres last week addressed a high-level meeting in New York City to detail the ideas around preparing for “the next pandemic.”
In his remarks – although he had the good sense to first address issues related to actual diseases – Guterres also prominently urges governments and online platforms to implement guidelines designed to censor content that is designated as “misinformation, disinformation,” and, “hate.”
He would like countries around the world to commit to implementing what the UN calls its pandemic accord by May 2024, when the World Health Assembly (the governing forum for the World Health Organization, WHO) is set to convene.
Guterres called on governments to earmark more taxpayer money toward WHO – so that these contributions can cover half of the agency’s budget, and also, support “the proposed investment round.”
The UN chief then proceeded to lay out the organization’s plans “for the next pandemic,” and divided them into three areas of key importance.
Sustainable development was the first, misinformation second, and what he calls “responding to complex global shocks” – which actually proved to be highly likely the most damaging aspect of the Covid years – was only mentioned last.
Regarding “misinformation,” Guterres complained that it was the reason people were skeptical of the vaccines (which he, somewhat obliviously, references as being developed “in record time” – as a positive note.)
In keeping with the well-established alarmist and dramatic language that is heard from many governments and official and unofficial global and globalist groups, Guterres warns that “untruths and outright lies” went around the world faster than coronavirus itself.
The term “hate” then appears seemingly out of nowhere in this portion of the secretary-general’s address, as he proposes that countries accept the UN’s “framework for an international response to disinformation and hate.”
The recommendations from the framework can be found in the organization’s policy brief “on information integrity on digital platforms.”
The purpose of the brief is to “power” a future UN Code of Conduct for Information Integrity on Digital Platforms – and Guterres somewhat oddly remarks that the UN “hopes” governments and platforms will implement it voluntarily.
But he doesn’t go into what the alternative to voluntary implementation might be.

🇺🇸 #Oklahoma high school principal (Kirk Moore) seen charging at and disarming a school shooter.
The suspect, identified as 20-year-old Victor Hawkins, was a former student who said he wanted to shoot up the school “like the Columbine shooters did.” While taking down the shooter, Moore was shot in the leg. He is expected to recover.
When the Principal woke up that day, he never thought he would be tackling a gunman.

🇨🇳🛢 How much strategic oil does the world actually have in reserve?
Global strategic crude oil inventories stood at ~2.5 BILLION barrels as of December 2025, according to the US Energy Information Administration.
China holds by far the largest stockpile at 1,397 million barrels, more than 3 times the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve of 413 million barrels, which itself sits at only 58% of its full storage capacity of 714 million barrels.
China added an average of 1.1 million barrels per day to its strategic inventories throughout 2025, with preliminary data suggesting it continued building stockpiles in early 2026 ahead of the Iran War.
Japan holds the 3rd-largest reserve at 263 million barrels, followed by OECD European countries at 179 million barrels.
Meanwhile, the US is releasing 172 million barrels from its Strategic Petroleum Reserve to suppress oil prices, part of a broader 400 million barrel coordinated release agreed by 32 IEA member nations in March.

🛢 JP Morgan Warns Oil Market Out of Balance, Prices Must Rise
🔸The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly 20% of the world’s oil flows, has removed 13.7 million barrels per day from global supply in April alone. A JP Morgan research note warns the market has no good way to replace it.
🔸Normally, spare production capacity in Saudi Arabia and the UAE acts as the market’s shock absorber. But that buffer has effectively been removed, eliminating the system’s first line of defense.
🔸With spare capacity unavailable, markets turned to inventories
➤ Global stockpiles are now being drained at ~7.1 mbd in April, an extraordinary pace, according to the note.
🔸Meanwhile, demand is collapsing because supply simply isn’t reaching users — “forced demand destruction.”The hardest hit sectors include:
▪️ Petrochemical plants across Asia are shutting down or slashing output as LPG, ethane, and naphtha flows from the Gulf collapse
▪️ Airline jet fuel ...
🛢⛽️ Global oil inventories are heading toward RECORD LOWS:
Global visible oil inventories have fallen -255 million barrels since the start of the conflict on February 27, to 7,864 million barrels.
Total estimated oil draws, including non-OECD refined products storage, have accelerated to 10.9 million barrels per day in April, the largest monthly draws on record since 2017.
Cumulative estimated draws since the start of the war now stand at 474 million barrels, with Hormuz flows holding at ~10% of normal, or 2.0 million barrels per day.
Meanwhile, even in an optimistic scenario where Strait of Hormuz flows begin recovering by late April, it is unlikely to prevent global visible inventories from reaching all-time lows, according to Goldman Sachs.
As inventories keep falling, physical oil markets are likely to require sharply higher prices for immediate delivery, since buyers cannot wait months for cheaper futures delivery when stocks are running critically low.
