The New Oil Order
Why Heavy Sour Crude Just Became the World’s Most Valuable Barrel–And Who's Winning WW3?
By: Gregor Jankovič
For decades, the oil market hierarchy was simple:
Light sweet crude – oil that flows easily and has low sulfur content, making it cheaper and easier to refine into gasoline and diesel – was the premium product. It’s easy to refine, high in gasoline, and priced accordingly.
Heavy sour crude – thick, high-sulfur oil that requires complex refineries to process – was the discount barrel, the ugly duckling that requires expensive, complex refineries to unlock its value. It traded at a permanent discount to light crude, sometimes $15–20 cheaper. Refiners who could process it made money on the profit margin between buying discounted crude and selling refined products.
That hierarchy is now history – most likely permanently...

🇺🇸⚡️During a tense Senate hearing, Sen. Jon Ossoff pressed U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard over Washington’s justification for the war:
Ossoff: “According to intelligence, Iran’s program was obliterated and they’re not rebuilding. Was there really an imminent nuclear threat?”
Gabbard: “It’s not my job to decide what counts as an imminent threat. Only the President gets to decide that. The intelligence community does not determine imminent threats. That’s the President’s call.”
Ossoff: “You’re evading a question because providing a candid response would contradict the White House.”

BREAKING: Google Announced New Rules For Sideloading Apps
1. Enable developer mode
2. Confirm you aren't being coached:
A quick check to make sure that no one is talking you into turning off your security as scammers often pressure victims into disabling protections.
3. Restart your phone & reauthenticate:
This cuts off any remote access or active phone calls a scammer might be using to watch what you’re doing.
4. Come back after the protective waiting period and verify:
There is a one-time, one-day wait & then you can confirm that this is really you who’s making this change with our biometric authentication or device PIN. Scammers rely on manufactured urgency, so this breaks their spell.
5. Install apps:
Once you confirm you understand the risks, you’re all set to install apps from unverified developers, with the option of enabling for 7 days or indefinitely. For safety, you’ll still see a warning that the app is from an unverified developer, but you can just tap “Install Anyway.”

A former Palantir executive recently confirmed what many have long suspected. In a public statement, the whistleblower said it plainly: Palantir intended to take over the US government, and many of his former colleagues are now installed inside the federal apparatus.

🇺🇸🇮🇷In the meantime, the USA is sending another Marine Expeditionary Unit to the Middle East.
As NBC News reports, citing sources, the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) of the US Marine Corps will depart from San Diego in the coming days.
It will consist of the amphibious assault ship USS Boxer, as well as the dock landing ships USS Comstock and USS Portland, carrying 2,200 Marines and their equipment. The aviation component includes F-35B fighter jets, AH-1Z Viper helicopters, UH-1Y Venom helicopters, and CH-53E Super Stallion helicopters, as well as MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft.
Together with the previously sent 31st MEU, the USA will have about 5,000 Marines and 4,000 sailors in the Middle East, along with several amphibious ships, support vessels, and aircraft. This is still not enough for a large-scale ground operation, but it is sufficient for a small-scale landing on Iranian coastal islands or actions to protect the Strait of Hormuz.

AWAKE: A Guide to Android Attacks and Exploitation

I found a really awesome resource - AWAKE: Android Wiki of Attacks, Knowledge & Exploits -
essentially a one-stop shop for those involved in malware analysis, reverse engineering, and vulnerability hunting on Android.
It includes descriptions of attack techniques, exploits, and methods for analyzing APKs and the platform itself. It's aimed at analysts, reverse engineers, penetration testers, and threat intelligence researchers.
In other words, it's not just abstract theory, but a very practical reference with specific details. What I particularly liked is the "offense-first" approach. Everything is presented from the attacker's perspective, not the defender's. For those of us involved in mobile security analysis, this is exactly what we need: understanding how attacks work so we can know how to defend against them. And as a reference for our own research - it's perfect!

Zelensky’s “Vanilla ISIS” Targets Global Energy Infrastructure Amid Energy Crisis
Ukrainian terrorists attempted attacks on infrastructure linked to the #TurkStream and #BlueStream pipelines between March 17–19, but the strikes were repelled.
Russia is urging the Kiev regime to halt reckless attacks that threaten critical international energy routes. Zelensky is targeting energy infrastructure to undermine Russia’s position in global markets and keep attention on the conflict.
Moscow warns Kiev’s actions risk serious damage to global energy security and could destabilize world markets. The attacks are aimed at blocking a negotiated settlement and derailing progress already achieved in talks.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán called the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines and attacks on TurkStream acts of terrorism. He said Hungary will raise the issue internationally and could classify #Ukraine’s actions as state terrorism if TurkStream is hit.
