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.

[SIDE NOTE – Remember, leftists never create anything. Their skillset is in exploiting the success created by others and tearing down the policies that make it possible. Democrats do not create value in anything. They are, by nature, opportunists to extract revenue from the value created by others.]

The first new U.S. iron ore mine in 50 years, feeding a planned $15 billion Iowa steel mill

The first new primary aluminum smelter in 50 years, in Oklahoma, which will double U.S. primary capacity once online

The first U.S.-assembled Volvo excavators are rolling out of Pennsylvania, and John Deere is moving excavator production home

Potash was named a critical mineral, with a $1.26 billion DOE loan commitment for a new Michigan mine and a USDA-backed Utah project

Critical minerals reshored, ending 100% import dependence on 15 strategic minerals

The first ever complete AI chip supply chain

Manufacturing construction starts are up 20.2%

Machine-tool orders are up about 37% year to date, the strongest first half since the series began in 1998

The manufacturing PMI is the strongest since 2022

$18 trillion pledged to restore America’s ability to produce at home

Look at Brent crude & WTI after the midterms. Both are already down nearly 10%. Its obvious Trump was being intentionally sabotaged with Brent crude (City of London financial elites) and gas prices. (source)

While it is correct to say the White House overall messaging on this was not effective, perhaps even terrible, the underlying truth of the economic situation is very positive.   The frustrating part is the predictability of Democrats to exploit the results that are certain to continue into 2027, while the price of gasoline drops – by design.
