The answer is hiding in plain sight but nobody is looking or asking the right questions.

The cost of gasoline just jumped overnight from $3.89 a gallon to $4.28 a gallon in my state of residence (Georgia) and everyone among the ignorant masses is wondering why. Gas prices in Georgia were sitting at around $2.25 a gallon before the Iran war started on Feb. 28, so that’s a near doubling of the cost of travel in just a six-week timeframe.

When you tell them that it’s Trump’s war against Iran driving gas prices up, people look shocked.I thought that war was over and Trump said we won, some will say.

No, I explain, we still have dueling blockades of the Strait of Hormuz by both Trump and the Iranians, preventing critical petroleum products from getting to market.

And by the way, if you think gas approaching $4.50 and $5 a gallon is painful, wait till farmers are forced to massively scale back the amount of crops they can grow because a significant amount of the world’s fertilizer is also being prevented from passing through the war-related blockades.

If you ask the typical Georgian why this extremely costly war was launched in the first place, many will parrot Trumpian talking points about having to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. Some might also repeat the dubious claim that we had to get revenge on a regime that’s been “killing Americans for 47 years.”

I have discussed the real reasons this war was launched in multiple articles, and tops among them is an effort, a very risky effort, to cut China off from the vital oil and gas resources it relies on from the Middle East. Roughly 54 percent of China’s energy resources come from the Middle East.

And with President Trump’s big summit with Chinese leader Xi Xinping approaching on May 14, I felt it was timely to remind my readers of one of mymost important articles, first published on Feb. 9, three weeks before the war started on Feb. 28. To understand this war, you must understand that it has every bit as much to do with China as it does Iran. Washington’s neocon globalist elites knew very well that Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz the minute the U.S. and Israel launched their unprovoked attack on the Islamic Republic. But that was part of the plan. They wanted to choke off oil supplies and create a global energy crisis that they believe will hurt China more than America. So every time you feel the pain of filling up your vehicle’s gas tank, just remember that your elected leaders in Washington care more about punishing a foreign adversary than they do about Americans’ ability to afford to drive and move about freely in their own country.

So please read the Feb. 9 articlehereand reread it if you don’t remember the details.
