[ConservativeTreehouse] In addition to what we previously outlined in the post midterm prediction two months ago, the price of gasoline and diesel fuel has begun dropping quickly. {GO DEEP} This downward price pressure will continue through January, eventually highlighting just how much financial manipulation via speculative trading was behind the price.
You can actually watch/see the prices dropping via GAS BUDDY Here. Most of the price increase was driven by market manipulation designed to influence the U.S. political outcome.
The western market ‘justification’ per se’ was the Iran war and the oil disruption from the Strait of Hormuz, but that’s not what drove up the price. The timing of the drop tells you the story that many deniers maintained for the past several months.
Additionally, we can now watch as Zelenskyy stops targeting Russian oil refineries, again removing one of the justifications that was being used by the “market speculators” who were intentionally driving up the price. Zelenskyy will justify the sudden shift in drone targeting by using the ever-present, and always Machiavellian, magnanimous explanation.
As the Ukraine and Russian teams meet with U.S. intermediaries in Abu Dhabi next week, Volodymyr Zelensky will claim his instruction to stop targeting oil refineries shows his commitment to a ceasefire and peace talks. However, if you have watched events closely and tracked the narrative and the assembly behind it, you will see the truth and timing behind events.
There is no longer a need to target refineries because the energy market speculators are going to dial back the upward pressure and allow prices to drop. Vladimir Putin was correct when he said, “How, in fact, is the price of gas formed on the European exchanges? It is not determined by producers, but by exchange traders.” {Go Deep}
People are only now just beginning to realize what folks like you and me have been outlining for months, this energy crisis was a justification for upward price pressure. There is no ‘free market’ factor in this system. The output never changed but the prices skyrocketed; the ‘speculators’ made billions from the manipulation, the energy companies banked the profits and the geopolitical stakeholders benefited from the political consequences.
Accepting this reality is why we were able to predict the exact moment when fuel prices would begin a precipitous drop.
The reality is that ‘western market prices’ are not an outcome of supply, demand or even availability or production capacity. Western market prices are determined by speculators, traders and regional benchmarks created by “independent agencies.”
Remember those pesky housing loan bond rating agencies, Standard and Poor’s and/or Moody’s during the lead-in to the 2008 financial crisis. That type of rating ‘independence’ is akin to the benchmarks of these regional independent agencies within the energy markets; which is to say, they are not independent at all – they are part of the manipulated western financial system that determines ‘market pricing’.
Behind that curtain are the traders, speculators, ideological banks and financial systems who create the finance system for the energy market. Want to stop oil exploitation, change the lending requirements to favor windmills and solar panels etc. Not coincidentally changing these lending rules and regulations was Mark Carney’s former job. Does that sound like an open market approach?
Thus, when you really understand how this pricing is structured you begin to realize the price of diesel has nothing to do with the supply of it and the price is more controlled by those who wish to generate financial -or political- outcomes from it. (read more)
But wait, there’s more….
The sick and twisted part of what is coming. The part that is going to gnaw at your gut (and Trump’s), is that simply due to timing leftists and Democrats will now take credit for the stunning economic growth that President Trump has seeded for the past several years.
As the speed of the revitalized U.S economic system takes off in ’27, Democrats will take credit for it, pointing back to ’25 as terrible, reminding everyone about the “affordability crisis” now falsely attached to Trump, and taking advantage of an abundant economic landscape to take credit.
This will annoy the f**k out of Trump, and by extension the intellectually honest voters who well understand exactly how the MAGAnomic policy seeds were planted.

The economy did't go into the ditch overnight. Industry and jobs have been outsourced to China for decades. It isn't going to be driven 'out' of the ditch overnight. People have become accustomed to 30 minute 'Gunsmoke' solutions and instant gratification. It just don't work that way.
I see some black robed tyrant has halted construction of Trump's arch. If another tyrant opens the Southern border, guess what ?

Something the uncloaked Socialist Democrat party can actually take credit for.
The recent tidal wave of Ammo Sales that mimic the Obama era, just prior to the Liberal, Socialists Democrats killing the AMMO / Gun market with new reg's and liberal court rulings.
We were at local Sporting goods store yesterday watching a guy actually purchase a nearly full shopping cart of multiple calibers of ammo, for cash $$$$$.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] Trump admitted that his election defeat was due to the war he launched against Iran and the resulting global fuel crisis that affected the United States.
In fact, by following Netanyahu's lead, Trump made himself a lame duck and very likely destroyed the Republicans' chances of retaining control of the White House in 2028. However, some argue that Netanyahu had a convincing argument related to Epstein's island.
Vice President Vance also stated that the war with Iran is the reason for the Republicans' defeat in the election. According to him, a pollster whose opinion he values explained to him that the four reasons why Republican voters are dissatisfied with the government are the following:
1. A desire to end the war.
2. A desire to focus on the problems of rising prices and inflation.
3. A desire to put America's interests first.
4. A desire to change relations with Israel.
The Democratic Party has already stated that it will seek an end to the war with Iran and increase support for the war in Ukraine. Overall, Iran's strategy of prolonging the war to weaken Trump and Netanyahu's positions within the US and Israel has largely worked.
P.S. Meanwhile, Iran is releasing images of potential targets in Europe, including Ukraine. Iran has indicated that it will begin striking American targets in Europe in the event of another attack.

Yea, instead of fucking around hoping to make a deal with people who have no intention of ever keeping any deal or promises, Trump should have just ended them all and be done with it last spring.
Once the Iranis is dealt with permanently, Trump would have been able to pay attetion and deal with the economy, specifically food prices and truly affordable housing. Fuel prices is part of it but by ending the Iran war for good, fuel prices would have gone down anyway.
Also on the economy. Dems won in part because they promised affordable or free housing for all, like they can deliver on this.
Some will say the war, some will say inflation, gas prices, taxes and etc.
I kinda lean to all of the above, plus the (R's) consistent failure to follow thru, or deliver on promises to seniors, taxpayers, and a COLA 18% to 21% short of actual inflation.
Then there is the issue of clear and thinly veiled mid-term Vote paying promises. Eg.. like $6,000 and other Tax reform promises to US Taxpayers never delivered.
All of, or any of which, could have had a impact on neutral fence setting voters.
💡 MOSSADIL COMMENTARY
ISRAEL FIRST: IT'S TIME TO RETHINK OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH AMERICA AND THE WORLD
Israel needs to take a long, hard look at what is happening in the United States.
We've watched the Democratic Party move increasingly away from Israel, alongside the rise of the red-green alliance and decades of Qatari money flowing into American universities, institutions, and influence networks.
Now we're watching significant elements of the Republican Party turn against Israel as well. And it's happening faster than many expected.
Ending American military aid to Israel may ultimately be a good thing. I believe it is.
But there's a growing argument that Israel will simply transition from being America's dependent to being America's peer.
I'm not convinced.
I'm not convinced Israel will enjoy the same relationship with the next administration, the next Congress, or the next Senate, regardless of which party controls them.
And Israel cannot afford to build its national security strategy around the assumption that America will always be there.
This is where Israel needs to fundamentally rethink its approach.
Israel has spent decades proving that it is not simply a country that needs protection. It is a country that provides protection.
Look at Europe. Look at the growing demand for Israeli defense systems, intelligence capabilities, cybersecurity, and military technology.
Countries facing increasingly serious threats are turning to Israel to help protect their populations.
That gives Israel something enormously valuable: LEVERAGE.
And it's time we started using it.
If a country wants Israeli technology to defend its cities, its infrastructure, and its citizens, it should not simultaneously be able to undermine Israel's security, impose embargoes, boycott Israeli communities, or advance diplomatic initiatives that Israel believes threaten its existence.
That includes the unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state.
We cannot continue operating under a system in which countries condemn, isolate, and economically punish Israel, only to turn around and expect Israeli defense technology when their own security is threatened.
There must be consequences. There must be reciprocity.
I'm not suggesting Israel abandon its allies or stop building relationships. Quite the opposite.
Israel should build more partnerships than ever before. But those partnerships must be based on mutual interests, mutual respect, and mutual benefit.
We need to stop assuming that historical friendships, shared values, or emotional connections will automatically translate into political support.
Governments change. Political movements change. Public opinion changes.
National interests endure.
Israel is becoming an increasingly important strategic asset to countries around the world. We need to recognize that, capitalize on it, and negotiate from a position of strength.
And above all, we need to remember something:
Israel's first responsibility is to the security, sovereignty, and future of the Jewish state.
We cannot continue accepting hostility from governments that simultaneously depend on us to protect their own people.
If they want Israel as a security partner, they must also be prepared to treat Israel as a partner.
Israel First. Not as a slogan, but as a national strategy.

The biggest myth about U.S. aid to Israel is finally collapsing Trump has done Israel a favor. Most of the money Americans supposedly “give" Israel is money Israel must spend in America, and it gives the US leverage over Israeli decision-making. Israel’s relationship with the United States will now reflect its own priorities. Opinion.

Israel should also rethink its relationship with GOD.
Seems the Jews is still afraid of GODs wraith as they won't spell G O D in full, but have to insert an asterisk or something.
Just accept that GOD is a loving god that put the Israelis first and pray to GOD properly without fear or shame and things will be much better for Israel as a whole (along with Christians.)

Where on earth do you get such ideas, Seeking Cure? Abraham argued God down to only ten good men in an attempt to save Sodom from destruction, Jacob wrestled all night with God’s angel. The roots of our tradition are based on not obeying blindly out of fear.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
