Closing The Strait Of Hormuz Will Be A Nightmare Scenario For The Global Economy

Our way of life depends on cheap energy.  If you remove cheap energy from the equation, our society will be thrown into a state of chaos.  The Iranians know that closing the Strait of Hormuz is one of the most powerful forms of leverage that they possess, because the world is deeply dependent on the oil that travels through that waterway.  We don’t know exactly how this crisis will play out, because the Strait of Hormuz has never been closed in modern times.  But as I pointed out earlier this month, we were warned that Israel would attack Iran, the global price of oil would rise, and the increase in the price of oil would be blamed on Israel.  And that is precisely what has happened.  Israel has attacked Iran, the global price of oil has been increasing, and many are blaming Israel for what has transpired.  Unfortunately, the truth is that this crisis is just getting started.

Guess What Israel Is Going To Do If Trump Doesn’t Give The Green Light For U.S. Air Strikes In Iran?

War with Iran is the biggest news story of 2025 so far, and it is also one of the biggest events of this entire period in human history.  Decisions that global leaders will be making in the weeks and months to come will have very serious implications for all of us.  Right now, we are waiting to see if President Trump will give the green light for U.S. air strikes in Iran.  Earlier today, we were informed that Trump will make this decision “within the next two weeks”… (Read More...)

This Is It! Trump Makes It Abundantly Clear That The Final Showdown With Iran Is Here

Events are moving so rapidly in the Middle East now that it is almost impossible to keep up with it all.  We are literally watching history in the making, and our world is going to be a much different place once this is all over.  There are some allies of President Trump that are absolutely thrilled with what is happening, and there are other allies of President Trump that are absolutely horrified.  But nobody should be surprised by what is happening, because we knew that this was coming.  We have been on the verge of a final showdown with Iran for years, and now that final showdown has officially arrived.

Why Are Large Numbers Of U.S. Air Force KC-135R Stratotankers And KC-46 Pegasus Tankers Flying East Across The Atlantic?

Did President Trump just pull the trigger on a major decision?  When dozens of U.S. Air Force tankers started taking off from their bases, all sorts of speculation started to erupt on social media.  And then when those tankers started flying east across the Atlantic, the level of speculation escalated to a frenzy.  As I write this article, the Pentagon has still not explained what all of these tankers are doing.  But TWZ has accurately noted that what we are witnessing is “very peculiar”… (Read More...)

$100? $200? $300? – How Catastrophically High Will The Price Of Oil Go When Iran Closes The Strait Of Hormuz?

It is being reported that Iran is seriously considering closing the Strait of Hormuz.  We don’t know how high the price of oil will go if that happens, because it has never happened before.  Of course I think that it would be safe to assume that the price of oil would rapidly surpass the $100 mark, and if it stays there for an extended period of time that would be enough to push us into a recession all by itself.  But if the price of oil were to surpass the $200 mark and stay there, I believe that could be enough to actually push us into an economic depression.  Shockingly, as you will see below, there is one official in the Middle East that is convinced that the price of oil could go up to $300 a barrel if Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz.  Needless to say, that would be a nightmare scenario.

This Is What Happens Next After Israel Bombs Iran’s Nuclear Facilities…

This week there has been a tremendous amount of speculation that a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities is imminent.  Now it has happened.  When I originally wrote this article, I thought that a military strike on Iran would not happen until after one last round of talks with the Iranians this weekend.  Even though it was obvious that those talks would go nowhere, I thought that the U.S. and Israel would give the Iranians one last chance to make a deal.  But that obviously did not materialize.  The Jerusalem Post is reporting that air strikes on Iran have begun… (Read More...)

Why Was The Mexican Flag Chosen To Be The Primary Symbol Of The “Color Revolution” That Has Erupted In Los Angeles?

Specific tactics may change, but the playbook is always the same.  All over the world, “color revolutions” have featured graffiti, vandalism, arson, rioting, looting and violent clashes will law enforcement officers.  The goal of the rioters is to pressure authorities into giving them what they want so that the chaos will stop.  And “color revolutions” always feature a highly visible set of colors that are deeply meaningful to the people that are being encouraged to protest.  In this case, the Mexican flag has been specifically chosen to be the primary symbol of the “color revolution” that has erupted in Los Angeles.  The following comes from the New York Times… (Read More...)

Who Has Been Spending Enormous Amounts Of Money To Equip The Protesters In Los Angeles With Brand New Riot Gear?

If the protests in Los Angeles are supposed to be peaceful, why is brand new riot gear being trucked in and given to the protesters?  And why isn’t this making front page news all over the country?  First of all, protesters only need riot gear if riots are going to break out.  Secondly, it is becoming clear that someone purchased large quantities of riot gear in advance.  So who funded those purchases, and who knew that riots would erupt in Los Angeles at this specific time?  If corporate news outlets in this country were still employing real journalists, those are the types of questions that those journalists would be asking.
