As oil pushes back over $90 – the US Army announces it will spend over $2.2 billion on micronuclear reactors for military bases. Not overseas, but in the US with bases Fort Bragg, Fort Campbell, Fort Benning, Fort Hood, and Fort Drum cited. One Issue: the U.S. Army will be responsible for licensing the reactors rather than the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), which normally licenses commercial nuclear reactors. WHY? Why would these mini-micro’s ignore protocol unless they were going to be a false flag destabilizer?
How easy to hack. How easy to blame said hack. How many soldiers will be sacrificed in this US Hannibal Directive?
Microreactors face high costs, supply chain disruptions, no plans for storage or radioactive waste, and according to Alan J Kuperman, “The licensing process is a dangerous scam on many levels”.
The US Military is facing supply shortages, cash shortages, and intellectual shortages. Hegseth is now borrowing monthly paychecks from soldiers in order to pay for the War in Iran. Did Hegseth dock his own pay? In addition, since congress was never empowered to declare War, soldiers and their respective families are not entitled to War benefits for their wounded and dead. Top military brass have told Hegseth to cease and desist from this ridiculous charade of ego power. He refuses to listen – the Fox News entertainer thinks he knows more than 3 and 4 star generals.
Part of the deficit in the military budget is the paid ‘influencers’ hired by Hegseth to promote everything Trump and the DoD want them to say – including bombing Kharg Island and decimating their missile facilities… never happened. They claim the Navy has dredged an alternative waterway next to Oman where tankers have been freely transiting. Never Happened. Instead, influencers are ordered to post AI videos to supplement the lies.
What has happened is more US bases, more soldiers, who are not entitled to War reparations, are now being hit in Jordan. Oil went long on the markets just before the hit on Larak Island. Simultaneously, Melania Trump made an odd remark claiming Barron now ‘gets it’. Did Barron Trump make yet another cool million?
The Economic Sanction package that was imposed last week by Bessent as the largest Sanction package in history is now being surpassed by a ‘secondary economic Sanction Package’ because the first one didn’t work given Turkey, China, and Russia all said they would ignore the Trade Blockage. The Influencers are claiming Bessent is a Genius. Yet, the consensus says he’s a Fool. His political science degree and his failed hedge funds are not a stellar resume attribute.
Today, an unidentified supertanker was hit by two mines and caught fire. US denies it happened. I suppose that means the Navy vessels monitoring the Strait will not rescue the crew… Brent broke $91 and Diesel tracked over $100 adding to the inflation that the White House Regime refuses to acknowledge – ‘it’s all Biden’s fault’. Since Centcom released a statement that ALL mines had been disabled, at least 4 ships attempting to traverse the Strait hit mines with significant damage reported. Marine Insurance preiums have sky-rocketed from .15% to 10% of a ship’s value. For Example: a tanker carrying $100 million in oil will now pay $10 million transit fee for a single passage.
We have only tasted the rip this idiocy is going to do to the Global Economy – ALL for Trump’s Ego.
Oil Profits are hedged by the 30% increase in price with less transit sales. We are experiencing the CoVid Inflation as originally executed by Trump and Fauci. And all Trump’s ‘fabulous deals’ are collapsing under Truth Tellers;
- The Venezuela 65 billion in reserves deal is for crude that is so heavy it’s cost breakeven is roughly $60 a barrel. It is curious why Trump would ignore the 198 billion in US reserves untapped… The production point in time for Venezuela crude is roughly 10-15 years in the future.
- Attacking the refineries as gouging oil prices is an economic pitfall. Refineries are refining LESS as a result of Trump’s non-War War:
- “Both crude oil and refined product markets are like global auctions. Participants in the oil markets, including refineries, crude producers, and traders around the world, bid to buy and offer to sell available crude oil. And then fuel distributers around the world bid for the gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and other products refineries make. The combined activity in these two markets is what determines refining margins.” ~US Energy Information Administration.
- The Strategic Reserves: As Trump claims the Venezuela oil will replace the emptied Reserves – so far, all the confiscated/pirated oil by US Tankers has transported it to – Israel at American’s Cost. With zero Benefit. IF we are to believe the White House, the reserves are at 1982 levels – 289 million barrels. The daily average use is roughly 21 million – giving us less than 14 days supply.
With the exception of PAID DoD Influencers, Hegseth’s reputation has been brutalized as wholly incompetent having crippled the Military and snubbed the needs of soldiers and their families. Morale is leading to chaos; 60,000 civilian employees have left the Dod, 45 officers have been delisted from promotion, and a dozen high ranking Generals have left – just since the installation of Hegseth. Instead of Generals we get paid Influencers. Paid for by – Taxpayers.
Not to worry – Hegseth’s wife has apparently managed to increase her ‘portfolio’ rather extensively. Meanwhile just 43 NGO’s have had their funding yanked amounting to $4 million in savings, out of an estimated $300 billion charities we support…via the government.
The estimate is likely considerably below reality.
