They detail Saudi oil output dropping to zero after Houthis blew up the east-west bypass pipeline in nine locations, diesel prices hitting $9.99 at stations with no fuel to sell, and US distillate inventories at their lowest level since 1951. They expose Trump's false blame of Ukraine for the diesel crisis when oil prices are clearly indexed to the Iran war, and detail how the refining crisis is structural and global. Then they cover Paul Craig Roberts' warning that we are on the road to Armageddon, with proxy wars widening in both Ukraine and Iran, the Wolfowitz Doctrine driving American hegemony, the Israeli Zionist agenda for Greater Israel, and 9/11 as the new Pearl Harbor that launched the war on terror.
