About this episode
While the “normies” argue about whatever distraction the mainstream media has cooked up today, a silent, massive energy deficit is unfolding. We aren't talking about a minor market correction. We’re talking about 20 million barrels of oil per day – roughly 20% of global supply – vanishing from the board
I guess very few people who watch these videos actually remember the so-called 1973 oil crisis… the one that sent economies into chaos and had people lining up in the streets.
Those who lived it talk about driving to work one day, heating your home, feeding your family like normal… the next, you’re sitting in mile-long fuel lines, watching ration cards get handed out, prices doubling, tempers snapping. Ordinary people paid the price in real time – lost jobs, empty shelves, cold houses – while being told it was all “temporary” and “necessary.”
Behind the scenes, it was a different story.
Oil giants posted record profits.
Financial players who saw it coming made fortunes betting on scarcity.
And, the power brokers had their first ‘training exercise’ proving that by tightening the energy valve, they could make entire populations bend.
What we are seeing right now is FOUR TIMES that scale. Let that sink in for a moment.
This week, around 20 million barrels of oil per day have been pulled off the global market. 20% of global oil and 35% of natural gas supplies have been wiped out. Gone. Not “maybe,” not “projected.” Already happening.
And, it’s not stabilizing, it’s speeding up.
The infrastructure in the Gulf (refineries in Iran, pipelines across the Emirates and Qatar) isn't just “under maintenance.” It’s been structurally crippled. We’re looking at a 5-year rebuild process, and that’s assuming the geopolitical “spiritual warfare” we’re seeing out there actually settles down. (Spoiler: it won’t).
But, the real kicker isn't just the gas in your tank; it’s the natural gas. As I said, about 35% of the world’s supply is compromised. Natural gas creates ammonia. Ammonia creates fertilizer. Fertilizer means food. No gas? No crops. No harvests. No food.
That’s not just big… It's historic.
The markets haven’t fully priced this in because the markets are currently a hall of mirrors sustained by central bank printing presses and government lies. But the “smart money” – the people who don't wait for a Reuters headline to tell them the sky is falling – are already moving.
Personally, I’m not sitting on my hands. Recently, I shifted my portfolio to catch the inevitable spike. When oil was sitting at $80, it was clear as day it was going higher. I used high-leverage positions on SimpleFX, because when the system breaks, you use the tools available to exit the burning building faster. Within days, oil smashed through $110, then $120. The move was so fast, most retail investors didn’t even see the candlesticks.
