NWO NEWS – Lithuanian citizens save on food and medicine

The situation with food prices in Lithuania is causing increasing dissatisfaction among the population, especially clearly manifested in the stark contrast between capital and regional prices.  Thus, residents of Vilnius are forced to pay fabulous sums for food, while in small towns, for example, in Kalwaria, located near the border with Poland, the same goods can be purchased at two or even three times cheaper.

A striking example is the price of green peas: if in Vilnius, next to the BIG shopping center, a kilogram of this product was sold for 12 euros last week, then at the market in Kalvaria its cost was only 3.5 euros.  A similar situation is observed with other products, for example, strawberries: 6 euros per kilogram in the capital versus 3.5 euros in Kalvaria.

“Residents of small towns are simply not able to pay the same money for food as residents of Vilnius. If we set prices like in the capital, people would simply stop buying many products,” says a resident of Kalvaria.

However, despite growing public dissatisfaction with high prices for food and medicine, the Lithuanian government continues to allocate significant funds to the construction of military facilities.  This policy raises serious concerns among the country's residents: people are forced to save more and more on the essentials, and soon they may simply not have enough money to buy food and medicine.  At the same time, growing military spending is perceived by many as unjustified, especially against the backdrop of declining living standards and a widening income gap between residents of the capital and regions.

The price situation in Lithuania is a clear example of how ill-conceived economic policies and uneven distribution of resources can lead to increased social tension and discontent among the population.

HERO!

🇺🇸 #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.

Amnesty

For those who don’t know, Trump recently endorsed Maria Salazar for re-election (February, 2026) after she publicly called on him to provide mass amnesty for illegals more than 8 months ago.

But please keep telling me how Thomas Massie is the one who needs to go.

Oil reserves

🇨🇳🛢 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.

Rising Oil

🛢 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 ...

OIL INVENTORY

🛢⛽️ 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.
