As with all things Globalist, it has been politicized for decades. And that IS the point. The notion that “free” market is controlling the price through supply and demand signals is illusionary. It isn’t. And what was more difficult to manipulate in real time 50 years ago, can now be done instantaneously on regional and global market scales. Want to change the leadership of a nation? Manipulate it’s costs for commodity goods domestically or anywhere participants are linked to the system.



quote:

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.”.....

The USA could be swimming in diesel fuel and yet the price at the pump remains $6/gal.

On my side of the argument is Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin, who does happen to operate the world’s largest gasoline station – at least, according to the professional republicans. Others on my side include Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salmon, Qatari Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Turkish President Recep Erdogan and Venezuelan interim President Delcy Eloína Rodríguez Gómez.

Others who accept the reality of this position, albeit with various political limits to their ability to speak openly about such matters, include President Donald J Trump, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Unfortunately for this aligned group they are stuck inside the largest western political system who controls global finance and world economic outcomes.




There Can Be NO DOUBT About It Now!!

Do I believe it can happen that way? Sure. Markets have been artificially inflated and supply restricted to drive up price as long as there has been free trade.

If that is in fact the case then why haven't the people that we elect to represent up done anything to address it?

Yeah. I'm holding my breath.

This is an AMAZING pivot. High prices are not free markets at work, but a globalist scam!

I thought patriots thought gas prices were a small price to pay for the furtherance of the Trump agenda

I've already made a decent profit on DRIP. When oil spikes again and it will, I'll take another chunk.

And if Trump tries anything to relieve the nation of high prices he is in charge of: they will write a letter to the editor of the globalists number one CONUS mouthpiece the WSJ, and whine...

You do understand gas prices aren’t driven by the “free market”? They are largely controlled by about 10-15 oil producing nations. Very, very few products prices are determined by the “free market”

When the conspiracy theory is proven wrong, just add another layer

The "it's not really a free market, so lets engage in irrational leftist economic policies that have been proven to fail every time" used to only be a stance of leftists and communists.

This is how Trump justifies and you guys buy in to intervention on several things -- it's all rigged and needs to be fixed (by more government intervention?).

I have never seen a President with so many apologists. Conservatives are now as dumb as liberals. This was a situation created by the President. Never go to war without a plan to win it.

Funny enough, that particular argument isn't used often because, you know, the implication.

I believe oil prices are being manipulated, just in the other direction. Every trick in the book is being used to try and keep prices from sky rocketing. There's also a disconnect from the trading futures price the the delivery price a plant is actually paying to take delivery of product.
On top of that. Say a ship in the Persian Gulf can take on a load at $100 a barrel, the day rate for a very large crude carrier to do that is at 1.2 million, it was 200k base line before thus mess started. Insurance rates for tankers trying to navigate the start have increased 4000% pre war s8ngke transit cost was around 200k, currently from 2 to 3 million. On top of that, last minute bookings to transit the Panama Canal pre war average was around 150k and they are now booking spots at auction bids around 2.5 million.

How is that funny?! Your economic understanding is astounding. Europe, Eastern Asia, Japan, and India have very few if any oil reserves. If the market determined fuel prices, they wouldn’t be able to survive. Fuel prices are manipulated by OPEC and others to keep prices artificially higher in the US to offset exponentially higher fuel prices in Asian and European markets.
