-> U.S.-Saudi Petrodollar Pact Ends after 50 Years
The 50-year-old petrodollar agreement between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia was just allowed to expire. The term “petrodollar” refers to the U.S. dollar’s role as the currency used for crude oil transactions on the world market. This arrangement has its roots in the 1970s when the United States and Saudi Arabia struck a deal shortly after the U.S. went off the gold standard that would go on to have far-reaching consequences for the global economy. In the history of global finance, few agreements have wielded as many benefits as the petrodollar pact did for the U.S. economy.

-> “Delegitimization of the state”: Journalist is being monitored by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution
“Delegitimization of the state”: What initially appeared as an abstract fantasy term in the 2021 annual report of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) is becoming increasingly clear. Even journalism critical of the government is apparently being subsumed under the newly created form of extremism, as the current case of journalist Aya Velázquez shows.

-> Scandalous commentator from Haldenwang: Caliphate is a “conceivable form of government!”
Yesterday, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser, together with the head of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Thomas Haldenwang, presented the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution's report for 2023. In terms of content, nothing new: the real danger comes from the right, with left-wing extremism and Islamism secondary. However, one statement by Haldenwang shocked the public: the caliphate is "a conceivable form of government".
