The fossil fuel industry is replaying its 2022 war playbook

The fossil fuel industry used Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to aggressively ramp up fossil fuel production. Today, the illegal US-Israeli assault on Iran has spurred a new and more far-reaching energy crisis. Industry representatives, think tanks, and pro-fossil fuel politicians across Canada are attempting to replay the same political strategy.

Has anybody from the #trump inner circle been found yet that miraculously knew that buying some critical shares/bonds/stocks about 1 day before the strikes on Iran would yield a huge profit?

Why am I asking this? Well, it has been the pattern so far. As if someone was using the #usa #military to #manipulate the #market.

For reasons I don't understand I woke up with the English word "manipulate" in my head. I had this half-asleep notion that there should be corresponding words that don't involve the hands. When poking around I came across "pedipulate", but I wanted something a bit less literal.

"Manipulate" turns out to be a very interesting word. Based on what I've read in a few dictionaries, it relates to "maniple", which can mean "a handful", but also a division of (ancient) Roman soldiers numbering 60 (not including the officers, which is apparently important because it's always mentioned). The "handful" sense relates to an old pharmacist's measuring unit (manipule); it can also mean "sheaf" or "bundle". The sense of "skillful use of the hands" may have arisen by 1826, followed in 1828 by the sense of "skillfully handling other people" (according to the online etymology dictionary, anyway; Oxford English Dictionary has different dates and timelines so I am not sure). The -pule part derives from a Proto-Indo-European root meaning "to fill", and relates to words like "poly" and "plus", but also "complete" or "deplete". It seems it might have roots in a technique for gathering ore, and seems to also have been used to describe chemists handling their various gizmos.

I'm gathering it's not clear how direct the relationship with words like "populate" is, since there are old words meaning "people" that may or may not have different origins; or "stipulate", which may or may not relate to the Latin word "stipule" meaning "stalk" (though sheaves have stalks!).

I don't know where any of this leaves my half-asleep thought, unfortunately, aside from a handful of new connections.

#Putin seeking to #manipulate #US leadership & break out of isolation, #Zelensky told Sky News

His remarks come after several #deadlines set by #Trump passed without new US #sanctions.

Putin definitely wants to trick the US. He’s doing everything he can to avoid sanctions, to prevent the US & Trump from putting sanctions on him.

“If you keep postponing applying sanctions any further, then the Russians will be better prepared.”
