So Trump comes out and declares the strait is open again — completely made up, and who even believes him at this point? But "belief" is not the point. The headlines go out, and the high-frequency algorithmic trading pushes the oil prices back down. These markets have been completely manipulated by their statements:
1. Not just to make billions through insider trading
2. Not just to push people into confusion and learned helplessness
3. But to absolutely prevent any natural demand destruction
... meaning, usually if the world is running out of something, the price rises. That's the most basic supply/demand concept. It's been undermined by this cycle of nonsense announcements and manipulated markets — and this is GUARANTEEING that we are going into an absolutely worst-case "hard landing" scenario: the engineered energy crisis that will require fuel rationing and cause massive inflation across commodities, transportation, cost of living...everything.
The economy CANNOT survive what they have engineered here.
The upside is, a lot of people are about to feel a level of discomfort that will make them ask questions — and we'll be able to wake up a lot of folks...

High diesel prices are putting farmers in the red, threatening harvest season — ground reports needed
US average just hit $5.47/gal, up 8% in the last month. With diesel crack prices hitting record highs and inventories at record lows, it's likely to increase further. Farmers have already absorbed high fertilizer prices (if they were lucky enough to even find it!), so if diesel prices explode right now, many would be forced to leave crops in the field.
We saw this in Australia: in March, BP's distributors were told to limit deliveries, CAUSING shortages which forced farmers to abandon their crops.
The can-kicking (releases from SPR, nonstop “the Strait is open” jawboning) got us through the summer, but if that ends in the next 2-4 weeks, right as we enter into prime harvest season, the effect on combines, grain carts, drying, and transport would be disastrous.
The technocrats would then reach for their pre-written crisis playbooks: fuel/food rationing via Digital IDs.
► On-the-Ground Diesel Reports Needed NOW:
Seeing restrictions in your area (partial fills, “contract customers only,” tanker delays, bulk deliveries throttled)? Please send details: [email protected] . Photos, supplier emails, co-op notices, local news — anything helps shed light. 🙏

It is no surprise that WEF-partner Tyson is closing their beef plants, citing a cattle shortage. Their whole play was to buy up and consolidate the industry, even as they invested heavily in fake meat. Tyson bought a 5% stake in Beyond Meat in 2016, before selling it in 2019 as it launched its own plant-based line. They also backed cultured-meat startups and other alternative proteins.
Meanwhile, Impossible Foods founder/CEO Patrick Brown has been more explicit: he wants to “put the animal agriculture industry out of business” and has described the goal as “game over” for traditional livestock, aiming to replace animals altogether by 2035.
Cattle numbers are at multi-decade lows. Processors are closing plants.
They told us exactly what they planned to do.
And now they’re doing it.
