[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Controversy over the sexualization of children reignited this week as an Indiana pole dancing instructor who reportedly teaches the provocative dance technique to kids was discussed online.
On Saturday, the criminal history of the instructor's husband surfaced, and it includes a mention in the Indiana sex offenders registry.
Earlier this week, social media users came across an advertisement for kids pole dancing classes. The lessons were offered up by Tiff’s Pole Fitness of Jasper, Indiana.
The disclaimer on the side of the poster, completely with a skimpy cartoon girl hanging upside said "no worries... your child will be taught age appropriate pole sport techniques only."
However, a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all... that contradicts what Tiffs Facebook page said. Spotted by one user, a post says "now offering kids pole ages 7 to 12 & extra flirty flow classes!"
While most of Tiff’s Pole Fitness original Facebook page was scrubbed, some surviving comments showing its establishment earlier this year survived.
According to Google Cache, one of the last posts made by Tiffs Pole Fitness Inc. talked about deleting posts: "I have deleted one of my recent posts because the shares and views have extended far beyond our community & area. I didn't anticipate that it would begin to go viral & I want to protect the privacy of my students & our small community."

Just in case you are unsure about whether this is about athleticism or something really sinister, that is the hair style (and animal sidekick) from the disney childrens' movie Tangled, where she forms a romantic relationship.

Strikes me as curious that the advert specifies class attire very specifically. However, I have not seen a lot of flyers for children's pole dancing.
I’m sure there are words, but I don’t have any. Read on, dear Reader:
[IsraelTimes] Court documents don’t say what nation Jonathan Toebbe was trying to contact when he sent information about the design of US nuclear-powered submarines.
A US Navy nuclear engineer with access to military secrets has been charged with trying to pass information about the design of American nuclear-powered submarines to someone he thought was a representative of a foreign government, but who turned out to be an undercover FBI ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time... agent, the Justice Department said Sunday.
The FBI must have an entire section hired just for their friendly demeanor.
In a criminal complaint detailing espionage-related charges against Jonathan Toebbe, the government said that he sold information for nearly the past year to a contact he mistakenly believed represented a foreign power. That country was not named in the court documents.
One assumes it is therefore not Russia, China, or one of the Muslim countries.
Toebbe, 42, was arrested in West Virginia on Saturday along with his 45-year-old wife, Diana, after he placed a removable memory card at a prearranged "dead drop" in Jefferson County, according to the department.
It was not immediately clear whether either Toebbe had a lawyer. The Toebbes are from Annapolis, Maryland.
The FBI says the scheme began in April 2020 when Jonathan Toebbe — a US government employee since 2012 — sent a package of Navy documents to a foreign government and said he was interested in selling operations manuals, performance reports, and other sensitive information.
Authorities say he also provided instructions for how to continue to the furtive relationship, with a letter that said: "I apologize for this poor translation into your language.
Not Canada or Australia...
Please forward this letter to your military intelligence agency. I believe this information will be of great value to your nation. This is not a hoax."
The FBI’s legal office in the foreign country received the package,
”Suzie, take this package to Agent Joe at the American embassy. Tell him the CIA is playing games again, and we don’t want to get involved.”
which had a return address of Pittsburgh, last December. That led to a months-long undercover operation in which an agent posing as a representative of the foreign government offered to pay thousands of dollars in cryptocurrency for the information Toebbe was offering.
In June, the FBI says, the undercover agent sent $10,000 in cryptocurrency to Toebbe, describing it as a "sign of good faith and trust."
As part of the operation, authorities say, the FBI observed the Toebbes arrive on multiple occasions at agreed-upon locations for the exchange, concealing an SD card between two slices of bread on a half of a peanut butter sandwich in one instance
Ick...
and in a chewing gum package in another.
The complaint alleges violations of the Atomic Energy Act, which makes it a crime to disclose information about atomic weapons or nuclear materials with the intent of harming the United States.
The Toebbes are expected to have their initial court appearances on Tuesday in Martinsburg, West Virginia.

"Wang, turn these over to Americans and tell them we are being good friends. We already have the schematics copies for the entire sub, and this is just probably a dangle from the Agency to waste our time."

Yes, we need to kill that misleading, phony label, "Progressive." A progressive in this country has traditionally referred to a 1900-era wasp-y, tradition-minded, good-government elitist of either party, like Teddy Roosevelt or Woodrow Wilson.
Today's Left-wingers have nothing at all in common with those elite white angli-Saxon Protestant men of the early 20c. Sanders, the Squat et al. are MARXISTS.
They've largely swapped out class struggle for race struggle, but it's the same core idea set: dialectical materialism, violence leading to dictatorship, all means justified so long as the enemy of The People is finally cry shed.
[All Africa] Congolese officials are promising to set up an independent inquiry and punish local officials involved in sexual assaults detailed in a recent investigation by the World Health Organization (WHO).
But Kinshasa's promise comes as those who had blown the whistle on abuses received threats for pushing for offenders to be punished in a country where such abuses are reported on a regular basis.
A damning report by the WHO last week indicated that massive sexual abuse, including rape, was committed by employees of the UN agency as well as officials in the local health ministry in North Kivu and Ituri between 2018 and 2020 as the Democratic Republic of the Congo

[TASS] Several Russians have been deleted from the US sanction lists in exchange for Russia’s consent to receive US Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland in Moscow, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Sunday.
According to Zakharova, Nuland’s visit to Moscow was requested by the US side. "Indeed, she was on a sanction list. It means that such a person cannot cross the border. They put Russian representatives on their sanction lists, hence, in this case the matter was settled on the parity basis," she said in an interview with the Voskresny Vecher (Sunday Evening) with Vladimir Solovyov program on the Rossiya-1 television channel.
"Yes, naturally. Have you ever had any doubts about public diplomacy?," she said when asked whether it meant that the United States had removed Russian representatives from their sanction lists. "I think our Western partners should analyze this approach and understand that we can respond in a negative manner to negative things. We can also respond in a positive manner to positive things and have always been opting for the latter," she said.
The US Department of State said earlier that Nuland will set off for Moscow on October 11 to meet with high-ranking Russian officials to discuss a range of bilateral issues, as well as regional and global problems.

Zakhrova later clarified to the Govorit Moskva radio station that one Russian citizen had been removed from the U.S. sanctions list. She did not disclose the person's name.
Now this is a clickbait headline I can really dig!
Schadenfreude is a heckuva drug.
[Zero Hedge] - The US bond market may be closed, but it was fully open in China, and locals are taking advantage of this fact to do one thing: sell.
In the aftermath of our viral post ""Catastrophic" Property Sales Mean China's Worst Case Scenario Is Now In Play", China property firms bonds were hit with another wrecking ball on Monday as Evergrande was set to miss its third round of (offshore) bond payments in as many weeks and rival Modern Land became the latest scrambling to delay deadlines.
Having already suffered the fastest drop on record, Chinese junk bond markets - where property developer issuers dominate - were routed once again as fears about fast-spreading contagion in the $5 trillion sector, which drives a sizable chunk of the Chinese economy, continued to savage sentiment. Meanwhile, China Evergrande Group's offshore bondholders still had not received interest payment by a Monday deadline Asia time, Reuters reported citing sources.
#3
Xi Jinping appears to have given all Chinese real estate developers the green light to tear up their foreign debt. The question all foreign bondholders have is whether this applies to non property-related sectors as well. How about foreign debts unrelated to bond issuances?
#4
For me the interesting questions then become - if the RE developers welch on foreign debt (Xi gave the implicit green light for that last week), will there in fact be anything left over to service domestically issued debt? And - will we actually hear about it if / when it does?
#5
Chinese companies have been sucking up a lot Wall Street money for the past few years. A nicer class of folks couldn't lose their shirts when Xi directs those Chinese companies to hand over their profits to the CCP instead of Wall Street.
#6
This is merely one part of the many problems China has. Biden's big Daddy is an absent father.Banking system collapse, real estate collapse.30 day supply of coal of poorest quality(costing $10 dollar loss for every kilowatt generated). No power, no water and major crop losses. Building and all sorts of constructions collapsing. Two days work if power available then sent home where they have no food, water or power. Then totally overextended thru out the world.
So what do they do. Direct war talk with Taiwan.
The air is being let out of the puff paper dragon.
#9
You would not believe how they have adulterated food. I shall never eat at a Chinese restaurant. In China they eat everything. With all their problems now and winter will soon arrive. In all honesty I believe they will resort to cannibalism. People are like blades of grass to them. Chop shops as we have here for babies. I wish my belief was different but all I have seen and read of these people in communism anything is possible.
Perhaps an even deadlier virus to cut down on their excess population? Biden and his buddies wouldn't object too much as it helps them hide the billions they have been stealing from pension funds..
#11
Recently saw a video of them collapsing a dozen new but un-used buildings to make room for new buildings. it's hard to get my head around that combined with this news. Maybe the video was older than i thought.

Year's ago, about the time of Nixon, we began to get a little too chummy with and connected to China. We are observing the effects of those decisions today.

#11 They have entire city built and unused. Construction quality so poor probably better to tear them down. Bamboo for rebar. 1" rebar you can tie into a knot. Pillars from floor to top floor 15 flours up you can stick a screw driver into and it breaks up like sawdust. Inspectors paid off. Contractors forced to cut corners but its been done for so long it has become standard practice. Those islands they built are already sinking. So much has been done incorrectly.
[FOX] China Evergrande Group, the embattled property developer, is the first high-profile real-estate company to run into serious trouble in Beijing’s campaign to tame a roaring property market.
It might not be the last.
As China enters what many economists say is the final stage of one of the largest real-estate booms in history, it is confronting a staggering bill: More than $5 trillion in debt that developers took on when times were good, according to economists at Nomura Holdings Inc.
That debt is nearly double what it was at the end of 2016 and is more than the entire economic output of Japan, the world’s third-largest economy, last year.
Global markets are braced for a possible wave of defaults, with warning signs flashing over the debt of about two-fifths of development companies that have borrowed from international bond investors.
Chinese leaders are getting serious about addressing the debt, with a series of moves meant to curb excessive borrowing. But doing so without torpedoing the property market, crippling more developers and derailing the country’s economy is quickly turning into one of the biggest economic challenges Chinese leaders have faced in years, and one that could reverberate globally if mismanaged.
Luxury developer Fantasia Holdings Group Co. failed to repay $206 million in dollar bonds that matured Oct. 4. In late September, Evergrande, which has more than $300 billion in obligations, missed two interest-payment deadlines for bonds.

So where'd all the money go, then? The executives just steal it?
Same place it went in all other bubbles - into the pockets of people who would not have been hired had the bubbles not existed, in the forms of salaries disbursed. Housing, raw materials, luxury goods - all are sectors inflated by the leverage-induced bubble blown by an absolute monarchy in egalitarian garb that will not tolerate any backtalk.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A man known as the "Wizard of New Zealand" will stop receiving salary payments from the country’s Christchurch City Council, after working for the city for 23 years.The wizard, whose name is Ian Brackenbury Channell, was receiving a salary of $11,700 per year since 1998, according to local media reports.
The reports added that the wizard no longer fits with the "modern image of the city," which is why his acts of wizardry services — which he was paid for — are no longer required.
"They are not thinking of ways to promote Christchurch overseas. They are just projecting an image of babus bureaucrats drinking lattes on the boulevard. Their image of Christchurch is nothing to do with the authentic heritage of the city. I am the original image of Christchurch," Channell was quoted by local media as saying.
For their part, representatives from the Christchurch City Council had told local media that terminating his services was a difficult decision to make.
Representatives said the city of Christchurch is changing, and that new programs will be introduced to its residents and citizens. He's since been reinstated and received a raise after turning the Christchurch city council members into mackerels and letting them gasp out their miserable lives flopping on the floor of their conference room.

Per Wikipedia
In 1974 The Wizard migrated to Christchurch in New Zealand and began to speak on a ladder in Cathedral Square. The city council attempted to have him arrested but he became so popular that they made the square a public speaking area. Wearing his costume as a false prophet of the Church of England, or his wizard's pointy hat, he has spoken there at lunchtimes in the summer months.
The Wizard in December 2012
He confronted Telecom over the colour of public telephone boxes, played for the local rugby team, heckled Christian evangelist Ray Comfort, evaded the compulsory census and performed rain dances in Canterbury, Auckland and the Australian outback.
With the help of the mayor, Vicki Buck, the city of Christchurch hosted a wizards' conclave in 1995 when visiting colleagues gathered to help build a wizard's nest on top of the university library tower, to witness the New Zealand Wizard hatching from a giant egg in the city art gallery, sky diving whilst chanting a spell for a major rugby match and performing various rituals round the city. Soon afterwards, accompanied by 42 assistant wizards, he came down by gondola from the Port Hills with tablets bearing the address of his new website.
In 1982 the New Zealand Art Gallery Directors Association issued a statement that in their opinion The Wizard was an authentic living work of art and the city council appointed him "Wizard of Christchurch". In 1990 the Prime Minister of New Zealand, Mike Moore, an old friend, appointed him the official "Wizard of New Zealand".
He initially provided his services free. In 1998 the Christchurch City Council signed an contract with him to "provide acts of wizardry and other wizard-like-services – as part of promotional work for the city of Christchurch" for an annual fee of $16000. This contract was terminated in 2021, The Wizard said he was disappointed but will continue to appear in the city. The Wizard has received financial support from his partner, Alice Flett.
On 8 September 2003 The Wizard's large wooden house was destroyed by a fire, which Christchurch police treated as arson. The Wizard, his partner and two boarders were lucky to escape with their lives and The Wizard's extensive book and video collections were destroyed. The "Wizardmobile", constructed from the front halves of two VW Beetles, was also attacked and damaged.
After the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake, The Wizard planned to retire and permanently leave Christchurch, saying that the town he loved had gone and that it was the end of an era. After it was announced by the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority and the Anglican bishop that the remains of Christchurch Cathedral would be demolished, The Wizard returned to Christchurch to oppose the demolition. The Wizard continues to speak on the need to preserve Christchurch's heritage buildings.
Since 2014, Ari Freeman has been The Wizard's apprentice

[AMERICANTHINKER] There’s scarcely a place in the modern world that will not be feeling the high cost and discomfort of a shortage of energy supplies and their increasingly soaring prices. Leb ...The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers, a practice dating back to the heady days of human sacrifice to Baal Moloch... already is. Due to a shortage of oil, the two power plants that supply 40% of that country’s electricity shut down. There is no electricity in Lebanon and will not be any for some days.
It’s an extreme case, but even the United Kingdom, the EU, the U.S., and China are running up against diminishing ability to obtain the necessary energy supplies to keep things running smoothly. Some of the shortages are due to accidents, like the cutting of an undersea cable to the UK, but most are due to green policies and stupid political choices, ironically shutting down oil and gas-fired power plants and fossil fuel exploitation and transport at the demand of the greens, who grossly overestimate both global warming and the ability of air, sun and water to take their place. Ironically, this means coal -- the dirtiest possible fuel -- is back in huge demand,
Despite an import ban on Australian coal, China relented and has begun unloading Australian coal because of an extreme power crunch. Coal is now in demand in Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... as gas prices soar and the EU’s energy policies are in large responsible.

Australian coal was the best. What there power plants were designed to burn. With the ban of Australian coal what was left was Russian and India coal of high sulfur content and power plants performed poorly with it. China had no choice especially with winter coming and factories mostly shut down.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Czech President Milos Zeman was rushed to the hospital on Sunday, a day after the country held parliamentary election in which populist Prime Minister Andrej Babis’ party surprisingly came in second and Zeman has a key role in establishing a new government.The Czech presidency is a largely ceremonial post but the president has the right to choose what political leader can try to form the next government.
Earlier Sunday, Zeman met with Babis, his close ally, but the prime minister made no comment as he left the presidential chateau in Lany, near Prague.
On Saturday, the centrist ANO (Yes) party led by Babis, a populist billionaire, narrowly lost the Czech Republic’s parliamentary election, which could spell the end of the euroskeptic leader’s reign in the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... nation of 10.7 million people.
A liberal-conservative three-party coalition named Together captured 27.8 percent of the vote, beating Babis’ ANO, which won 27.1 percent. In a second blow to the populists, another center-left liberal coalition received 15.6 percent of the vote to finish third.
The winning coalition won 71 seats while its third-place partner captured 37 seats to have a comfortable majority of 108 seats in the 200-seat lower house of Parliament, and they pledged Saturday night to work together. Babis won 72 seats, six less than in the 2017 election.
But Zeman earlier indicated he would first appoint the leader of the strongest party, not the strongest coalition, to try to form the government, which would be Babis. In his only post-election comment, he congratulated the election winner and all elected politicians.
The anti-migrant and anti-Moslem force in the Czech Republic, the Freedom and Direct Democracy party, which wants the country to leave the EU, finished fourth with 9.6 percent support, or 20 seats. In another surprise, the Social Democrats and the Communists, the country’s traditional parliamentary parties, failed to win seats in parliament for the first time since the split of Czechoslovakia in 1993.
It’s not clear how the hospitalization of Zeman, 77, will affect efforts to form the next government. Zeman is a heavy smoker and drinker who has suffered from diabetes. He has trouble walking and has been using a wheelchair.
Prague’s military hospital confirmed that Zeman was transported there Sunday.
"The reason for his hospitalization are the complications that accompany the chronic disease for which we treat him here," said Dr. Miroslav Zavoral, the director of the clinic. He declined to elaborate.
Zeman was previously admitted on Sept. 14 for what his office described later as a planned examination. The office said the president was only dehydrated and slightly exhausted. Zeman was released after eight days, his longest hospital stay.
He spent four days in the same hospital in 2019 for similar reasons.

She didn't get that from me, which is why I snorted loud enough to wake the dog.
[NEWS.YAHOO] Czech voters evicted the communists from parliament on Saturday for the first time since the end of World War Two, voting out a party whose forebears ruled the central European nation from 1948 until the Velvet Revolution of 1989 that ushered in democracy.The communists incarcerated Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! tens of thousands in forced labor camps in the 1950s and brutally repressed dissidents such as playwright-turned-president Vaclav Havel, but remained in parliament following the revolution.

In this week's election, the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia took 3.62% of the votes with nearly all precincts reporting, less than the 5% needed to enter parliament and potentially marking a final chapter for a party that has gradually shrunk as its ageing membership dwindled.
"It pleases me, it pleases me a lot," Jiri Gruntorad, 69, a former dissident who signed the dissident Charter 77 statement and was incarcerated Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! for subversion from 1981 to 1985 by the communist authorities, told Rooters. "But it's coming too late."

This is the Israeli branch of the group that caused those Covington Catholic boys such problems a few years back.
[IsraelTimes] 51 members of the 3,000-strong community living in the Negev desert city of Dimona were ordered to leave Israel by September 23, but have so far stayed put.
Immigration police began touring employment areas in the southern city of Dimona on Sunday looking for 51 members of the Hebrew Israelites Community who were ordered to leave the country by September 23 on the grounds that they have no legal status to stay.
"The enforcement of the deportation has begun and today a few immigration officers came to randomly check all the business areas of the community," a Hebrew Israelites front man, Ashriel Moore, told the Times of Israel.
Earlier this year, 17 letters were sent to the families containing the 51 individuals, some of whom were born in Israel and some of whose children have served in the IDF. They were told to leave within 60 days but were given the right of appeal.
In response to their requests to be allowed to stay, the Interior Ministry’s Population and Immigration Authority wrote to each family last month that neither residency in Israel for a long period nor work in the country were sufficient grounds for a change of status.
The September 23 deadline passed without any community members leaving the country.
Following the Interior Ministry’s rejection of the appeals, the community turned to the Beersheba District Court, which asked it to clarify why a class action suit was being requested.
The community’s response is ready and due to be submitted to the court, Moore said.
All 51 people who received deportation notices either entered Israel from the United States as tourists and remained in the country, illegally, once their permitted three-month stay was up, or are the children of those who did so.
Some are adults who were born in Israel, according to Moore, who is coordinating the campaign to stop the deportations. Of these, some have their own children. Those who are not eligible for US citizenship or have given it up are stateless and have nowhere to go, he said.
The 3,000-strong community, which believes it is descended from an ancient Israelite tribe, began arriving in Israel in 1969, following the late Ben Carter, a reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... steelworker who renamed himself Ben Ammi Ben-Israel and claimed to be God’s representative on earth.
According to its website, the community, which permits polygamy, does not subscribe to any religion "because religions have only divided men." They do, however, observe the Sabbath and Jewish holidays mentioned in the Torah, circumcise male children eight days after birth, and require women to observe the biblical laws of purification.
The community is not recognized as Jewish by Israel’s religious authorities.

The Black Hebrew Israelites are one of the descendant groups of the African-American mystical nationalism movement of the late 19th century, ed. Their congregations range from reasonably normal to batshit crazy Black supremacist. Wikipedia has an article about them that doesn’t appear to be politicized.
[JPost] The treatment reduced the risk of reaching mechanical ventilation by 44%. ICU admissions were lower by 43%, and an overall in-hospital mortality saw a 47% decrease. It's a followup to this report from George Washington University in Anesthesia and Analgesia.
Over-the-counter aspirin could protect the lungs of COVID-19 patients and minimize the need for mechanical ventilation, according to new research at the George Washington University.
The team investigated more than 400 COVID patients from hospitals across the United States who take aspirin unrelated to their COVID disease, and found that the treatment reduced the risk of several parameters by almost half: reaching mechanical ventilation by 44%, ICU admissions by 43%, and overall in-hospital mortality by 47%.
"As we learned about the connection between blood clots and COVID-19, we knew that aspirin — used to prevent stroke and heart attack — could be important for COVID-19 patients," said Dr. Jonathan Chow of the study team. "Our research found an association between low-dose aspirin and decreased severity of COVID-19 and death."
Low-dose aspirin is a common treatment for anyone suffering from blood clotting issues or in danger of stroke, including most people who had a heart attack or a myocardial infarction. Although affecting the respiratory system, the coronavirus has been associated with small blood vessel clotting, causing tiny blockages in the pulmonary blood system, leading to ARDS - acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Israeli researchers reached similar results in a preliminary trial at the Barzilai Medical Center in March. In addition to its effect on blood clots, they found that aspirin carried immunological benefits and that the group taking it was 29% less likely to become infected with the virus in the first place.
"Aspirin is low cost, easily accessible and millions are already using it to treat their health conditions," said Chow. "Finding this association is a huge win for those looking to reduce risk from some of the most devastating effects of COVID-19."

Before COVID-19 I was already taking Vit D3 2000 IU daily and getting plenty of sunlight. Since COVID-19 started, I have been started on atorvastatin, clopidogrel, famotidine and most recently colchicine. I wonder what my risk of COVID is with all these supposed risk-reducers.

Gee.
What is shocking...or maybe it isn't...is it took so long for somebody to study the effects of a blood thinner on a blood clotting problem. You know, other than us folsky prairie bumpkins. Good to see confirmation.
[IsraelTimes] Move ends almost 24 hours of total blackout after central plants ground to a halt amid oil shortages
Leb ...The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers, a practice dating back to the heady days of human sacrifice to Baal Moloch... ’s electricity grid was back online Sunday after the army supplied fuel to two key power stations that had run out, a minister said, ending almost a day of total blackout.
The Deir Ammar and Zahrani plants ground to a halt Saturday, causing the state electricity network to collapse completely for the second time this month.
The Mediterranean country is battling economic turmoil, and the cash-strapped state has in recent months struggled to import enough fuel oil for electricity production.
Most Lebanese saw no major change to their daily lives on Saturday, as the state has been barely providing one to two hours of power a day for months.
Energy Minister Walid Fayad said Sunday that the grid was back up and running.
"The network is back to normal, as it was before the gasoil ran out at Deir Ammar and Zahrani," he said in a statement, implying production would revert to the previous few hours a day.
He thanked the army for handing over 6,000 kiloliters of gasoil, half of which he said went to each power station.
The state electricity company had said Saturday that a shipment of fuel oil was expected to arrive that evening, and be offloaded at the start of next week.
Lebanon has witnessed rolling power cuts across the country since the end of its 1975-1990 civil war, but the economic crisis has made matters drastically worse.
Lebanese who can afford it subscribe to private generators to keep appliances on, but even their owners have started to ration power supplies due to the scarcity of fuel.
The international community has long demanded a complete overhaul of Lebanon’s loss-making electricity sector, which has cost the government more than $40 billion since the early 1990s.
