Iran War & Fuel Rationing – are “Energy Lockdowns” on the way?

KIT KNIGHTLY

The war in Iran is having the impact that most people with any sense knew it would have: The price of oil is going up, and the supply of oil is going down.

Of course, whether or not the latter of these is actually true we will never know, and it’s beside the point. Oil companies will natural take the slightest excuse to price gouge and contrive scarcity for the basest of profit motives.

It also serves a political motive as well, since we know the global political machinery is –

against free travel
against fossil fuels and
against people being able to afford basically anything.

Which is of course another reason – we could say the ultimate real reason – why the head of BP is screaming about fuel rationing…

UK should brace for fuel rationing over Iran war crisis, former BP chief warns Starmer

Sri Lanka and Thailand have already brought in rationing measures. In Vietnam they will be grounding flights, beginning in April, due to jet fuel shortages.

On Friday it was reported that a “global fuel shortage may be just days away”.

Pakistan, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Thailand have also instituted remote work for government employees.

In Denmark, it’s not policy yet, only a suggestion. With government ministers begging – “please, please, please” – not to drive and to reduce their energy usage at home. Australia is going the panic-buying-causes-shortages route.

Bloomberg is warning that the fuel crisis may threaten the global food supply.

It’s all kinda familiar isn’t it…

In case you’re not picking up what we’re putting down here, the Financial Post is warning that…

Oil prices could get high enough to force a COVID-level lockdown

…yeah.

The first AI war?

What’s really happening in the Persian Gulf and Middle East?

NEIL MCCRAE

On Sunday evening I had a stimulating discussion with my friend David Clews, presenter of the UNN news / talk show. Unlike David, I regard the war in the Middle East as mostly fake. It’s difficult for him to step back, because in his role he is immersed in the daily flow of incidents, political activity and controversies, and the latest conflict between the US-Israeli alliance and Iran is compelling. For me, arguing that the action is a stage show, aided by artificial intelligence, would be a hard sell. To smoothen my way in, I assured David that if the fighting is real, my sympathies (like his) would be with Iran, as the victim of an unprovoked attack by Zionist aggressors.

The Covid-19 debacle showed that our rulers divide the people into two audiences. First is the majority, who receive and accept the official story from mainstream media. Then there is the minority of critical thinkers, who disbelieve politicians and the BBC, but who are susceptible to messages that fit their sceptical view. The latter, unwittingly, may be manipulated by another false narrative: by getting sceptics to propagate ideas such as the Wuhan lab leak, the antiviral merits of ivermectin or the spread of spike proteins by the vaccines, the stage managers of the pandemic fooled them into reinforcing the existence of Covid-19.

The bigger the lie, the more people will fall for it. ‘If you believe they put a man on the moon; if you believe there’s nothing up their sleeve’, sang REM. For most of my unenlightened life, I did not doubt the moon landings, and I scoffed at the obsession of conspiracy theorists with the World Trade Center attack. It was not until Covid-19 that I realised the potential for the people in power to stage events of such magnitude. And whereas in the past, nuclear weapon tests and the lunar expedition were faked by analogue imagery, and 9/11 with CGI aeroplanes, today almost anything can be fabricated with AI.

The upper rungs of Iranian leadership, I believe, are in cahoots with the global technocracy. Iran played an important part in the Covid-19 scam, and digital identity is at an advanced stage of imposition. Would it be shocking if Tehran was in tune with Washington and Tel Aviv, in geopolitical stage management? I presented five stories from the current theatre.

1. Killing of the Ayatollah. The elderly spiritual leader of Shia Muslims was dying of cancer, and I suggest that his death was awaited for the unleashing of military strikes on Iran, with the planned story that the Ayatollah had been killed by American military precision.

2. The bombing of a girls’ school. About 170 girls and teachers perished in this incident, on day one of the war. I suggest that this story was a device to grab worldwide attention to the conflict. Until then, people were focused on the Jeffery Epstein revelations, which would be more interesting than yet another war in the Middle East. I heard shoppers in my local high street talking about this carnage, showing that the ploy succeeded.

3. Iranian missile and drone strikes. While ‘normies’ get their news from the television, sceptics rely on social media. But scenes of projectiles and flashes from explosions in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Bahrain, Dubai and American bases may be simply AI-generated, either for the pecuniary gain of social media creators, or the work of the intelligence services. War needs opposing sides, and both are controlled. Interestingly, residents of Dubai have been warned not to post videos or accounts of Iranian attacks – the intended message is that the authorities are trying to suppress the truth, but I suggest that this is because there are no drones hitting skyscrapers.

4. The threat of nuclear weapons is raised, but I do not believe either Iran or Israel has such weaponry. Indeed, in my view the whole world’s nuclear arsenal is a hoax, first perpetuated by the Americans at Nagasaki and Hiroshima (cities destroyed by napalm, like elsewhere in Japan). Fear is the real weapon, boosting control.

5. Closure of the Strait of Hormuz. If this really happened, petrol would not have risen by merely 7 or 8 pence at the pumps. Ships are passing through, and the videos of drone attacks on tankers are yet more fakery. However, the claimed shutting of this crucial waterway is effective in warning the global populace that vital commodities, from fuel to fertiliser, are of precarious supply.

Why all this stagecraft? The Iran war is another giant stride being taken for the Great Reset. We are being weaned off oil, and food production will be limited by the globalist cabal to take more control over the mass of ‘useless eaters’ left behind by technology. Travel restrictions are another theme furthered by the conflict. I am not sure why Westerners are being deterred from their tax-free lives in the Gulf states, but we’ll find out soon.

The war is serving the master class by causing division in both the political Left and Right. Should the Left be supporting regime change against a supposedly brutal theocracy that oppresses women, or decry colonial imperialism? Should the Right be enjoying the jingoism and shock-and-awe onslaught on medievalist Muslims, or be troubled by the Zionist tail wagging the Western dog? Tucker Carlson has turned up the heat on himself by taking the latter stance, although I suspect he is doing what the CIA wants.

Iran will not be destroyed, because it is the necessary bogeyman in the region. Russia is its ally, on a geopolitical chessboard that is becoming exactly that predicted by George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four: Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia. Conflicts such as in Iran are theatrical, preparing us for the prospect of permanent war, permanent fear, and permanent state of emergency.
