It would appear that China ha s nailed down most of Qatar's vast near future output of natural gas from the Qatar North Field. A USD 3 Billion deal was signed this week (1). “Qatar’s energy minister and the CEO of Qatar petroleum [QP], Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi signed the deal, potentially worth more than 11 billion Qatari riyals ($3 billion) during a virtual ceremony. on Wednesday with Lei Fanpei, the Chairman of CSSC. Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding, a unit of China State Shipbuilding Corporation will construct potentially over sixty 174,000 m 3 LNG carriers. QP’s LNG carrier fleet program is the largest of its kind in the history of the LNG industry and will reserve a major portion of Hudong’s LNG ship construction capacity through to 2027. Al-Kaabi said that by entering this deal QP is on “the right track in ensuring that the company’s future fleet requirements will be met in due time to support its increasing LNG production capacity”. QP recently launched a drilling campaign f

Belgium: "All simple things catastrophically complicated". If there is not a problem one or two will be invented, then talked about for a long time. My theory is it's related culturally to several centuries of rule by foreign powers, Austrians, French, Germans (short, fairly nasty periods), 200 years of Spanish occupation etc., which seems to have led to a built-in cultural attitude to keep a low profile (the foreigners invading yet again), that it is always someone else's decision and responsibility (to mend the roads and so on), to have "un briqain dans l'estomach", that famous Belgian phrase about looking after and owning your own house as the ultimate goal and then of course one of the Belgian national pastimes, tax avoidance (don't let the foreign occupiers have our money and chickens).

New Study to add to Harvard work and N. Italian analysis. Correlation, not yet causal link. Italy (North), Spain, Germany, UK and these early studies show it's pretty obvious what's been happening. These papers are a bit rough, which shows they throw these together very quickly, then out online. Impressive, proper Open Source stuff. No doubt people working at this for rest of 2020. Not the oilers, free marketeer resisters or academics in KSA or Rossiya. www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/apr/20/air-pollution-may-be-key-contributor-to-covid-19-deaths-study Download pdf:  www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048969720321215 "The spatial analysis has been conducted on a regional scale and combined with the number of death cases taken from 66 administrative regions in Italy, Spain, France and Germany.

Aaron “Stolichnaya” Banks and the horrific Andrew “Berlin Station” Wigmore are both happily hiding out “in plain sight” in New Zealand, the place where quite a lot of wealthy men have retreat spots to visit for a few months. A certain Silicon valley weirdo, Mr. Peter Thiel springs to mind. A couple of really very nasty sociopathic little shits of the highest order. Thumbs up!! twitter.com/Arron_banks/status/1245661566940270594 twitter.com/andywigmore/status/1242555643355152385 Maybe they are all having one great big Lockdown Party out there with Messrs Chandler and Mellon (see below) and one or two others. They certainly seem to believe they have the world and it’s suffering population at their disgusting feet. https://medium.com/@K_Gallowglaich/kiwi-banksie-n-wiggie-e1bd51508e30 Here are Wiggsy and Banksie demonstrating their superlative, sophisticated sense of humour in some shorts, outside a building in Hamilton, Bermuda: The Boys Doing Business in Shorts in B

Now I know what the "Bazooka" thing was/is supposed to do and mean: www.ft.com/content/be0892cc-6583-11ea-b3f3-fe4680ea68b5 Imagine doing the same thing over and over again, with little progress and no relief. Sounds like most people’s vision of hell — or Central Bank current predicament. Most people are clueless as to   what all this is about and how large the numbers have become, probably because no-one tells them, they have other things on their minds and the subject, although numerically not that complicated in reality, has been kept close and deliberately obfuscated by silly language like "Quantitative Easing". Someone I know asked on Twitter the other day why this was being done all over again when it did not really work well previously. T here I s N o A lternative [TINA] - to keep it all going. I thought I would "upgrade" my longer Quonzi note and nail it together with something scribbled over two years ago sometime after November

People are already starting to see the benefits of reduced air pollution. Surprised? Should not be really. NO MORE OIL WARS. Get rid of IC and diesel vehicles now! Just do it. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/04/08/air-pollution-linked-higher-rates-death-covid-19/ This was a zero-brainer before this latest CoronaVirus came along, something that has been warned about since SARS by the way, this Black Swan was foreseen by some, but the message was not exactly pushed hard was it? I wonder why? Surprise!! Bastard Heritage Foundation fossil-fuel sons-of-bitches... Also easy to see 2/3 years ago why the Trumpoids were so keen on obliterating the EPA to destroy all air quality and emissions monitoring and regulatory limits. This was/is fossil fuel "representatives" and money plus associated gaggles of politically motivated dinosaur "useful idiot" nitwits claiming it was best to "wait-and-see". Jesus H Kristos almighty.... you only had to walk around central
