#BREAKING Hezbollah statement on pager attack by Israel.
At approximately 3:30 pm on Tuesday 09-17-2024, a number of messaging devices known as "pagers" exploded, which are owned by a number of employees in various Hezbollah units and institutions.
These explosions, the causes of which are still unknown, led to the martyrdom of a girl and two brothers, and the injury of a large number of people with various injuries.
Hezbollah's specialized agencies are currently conducting a wide-ranging security and scientific investigation to determine the reasons that led to these simultaneous explosions, and medical and health services are also treating the wounded and injured in a number of hospitals in various Lebanese regions.
We ask God Almighty to have mercy on our righteous martyrs on the road to Jerusalem, and we pray for the wounded and injured to recover quickly, and we call on our honorable people to be aware of the rumors and false and misleading information that some parties are spreading in a way that serves the psychological war in favor of the Zionist enemy, especially since this is accompanied by the Zionist enemy's intimidating and threatening speeches and what it calls changing the situation in the north.
We confirm that the resistance at all levels and various units is at the highest level of readiness to defend Lebanon and its steadfast people.
🇺🇸 #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.

Trump said Iran could start “exploding from within” in a few days if its oil gets “clogged.”
It sounds exaggerated, but there’s truth to it.
Iran produces roughly 2 to 3.5 million barrels of oil every day, and that oil has to keep moving through ports, tankers, and export terminals like Kharg Island.
A large share of the government’s budget depends on that flow, so when exports are blocked and there’s NO EXIT ROUTE, the system doesn’t just pause, it starts backing up.
Storage tanks fill quickly, and while Iran does have capacity, somewhere in the range of 40 to 90 million barrels, that space can get used up surprisingly fast under full production.
Once those tanks hit their STORAGE LIMIT, there’s no room left to absorb anything, and that’s where the real pressure begins.
At that point, Iran is forced into a difficult position. They can either cut production and immediately lose massive daily revenue, easily over $100 million, or keep pumping oil into a system that has nowhere to send it.
That...

How International Agreement Could Resolve Economic Imbalances
Connectivity Project by Philip Pilkington
The past few years have been ones in which global conflict has flared up in a manner that is more concerning than at any time since the end of the Second World War. Economists cannot offer solutions to all complex geopolitical problems, but they know that trade imbalances tend to vastly increase tensions between nations and make compromise on these non-economic topics more difficult.
Due to the politics and economic structure of the time, the bancor was shelved in 1944. But due to the changes in the global economic system caused by aggressive globalization, there is a strong case to be made that its time has come. Implementing the bancor solution to world trade could provide a new constructive economic vision for a world economy that currently feels chaotic and unmoored. It could provide the keystone to global governance in the 21st century.
