The present jump in gasoline prices is disturbingly similar to the 1970s Arab oil boycott that put my pick-up truck into a back alley while I pedaled a bicycle cross-town to the Indiana factory where I worked as a low-wage welder. Since Donald Trump is a tad older than me, he should also be able to recall the angry public response to the Carter White House against the rising cost of gasoline caused by the double-whammy of the Arab oil embargo against the USA and the Iranian hostage crisis. History is now repeating itself, Don, so look around for a successor to the Oval Office or the damned lucky Dems will be certain to crush the GOP in the next presidential election if you remain the simple-minded moron with Zionist pretentions aka the idiot loser in charge of another massive economic depression.
Food costs are rising, doctor bills destroying household budgets and gasoline becoming ever more costly in the $7 per gallon range while those helpless overpaid Arab oil sheikhs are watching their pipelines and wells being blasted by precision Iranian rocket strikes. Wary of shore-to-ship missile strikes, U.S. naval vessels fled the Persian Gulf for the duration while America’s oil reserves are rapidly depleting. The decision to scram over into the Indian Ocean rather than sink into Davy Jones’ locker was a good one if Pearl Harbor served as a lesson to let the Navy become sitting ducks.
Needless to say: our Gulf region allies in Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been abandoned by U.S. military power as their oil tanks and pipelines burn bright in the Arabian night. The princeling have gold stashed in London banks, so do not feel sorry for them since it’s the average Arab man and shrouded woman who will bear the brunt of sudden poverty.Arguably, this ongoing energy crisis will have ever-worsening consequences for the world economy and especially for automobile dependent Americans, perhaps more severe than the Arab oil boycott of the 1970s. For the average American household adaptability to hard times and reduced spending are now key to basic financial survival, while the president retreats to his golf courses and mansions. The hopeless fact is that the president is more like those privileged Arab royals than your hard-working American dad trapped in the maws of chronic debt.
What’s happening now due to Trump’s ignorance of the global energy emergency is that the average American family is starting to see skyrocketing costs for automobile fuel and home heating, which could way worsen when autumn turns to winter and a silent Christmas. Way back during the Arab oil boycott of the 1970s instead of driving my fuel efficient VW van, I went to my across-town welding job on a bicycle - and that is now starting to happen again as I pump air into the tires of my used bicycle pulled out of a storage lcoker for just such an emergency. Jimmy then, Don now - Americans are screwed by a twisted foreign policy in the Middle East oil market as the U.S. economy begins to tank. My late summer visit to California is now on hold, cancelled over the foreseeable future due to gasoline prices averaging $7 a gallon out west – even before the recent Persian Gulf folly.
Since the price of fuel affects every sector of this nation’s declining prosperity, millions of American families are beginning to teeter over the edge of a financial cliff. Dreams of a new and larger home and a road-worthy car are about to be shattered like a mirror falling onto the bathroom floor. And on top of this ongoing fiasco, we’ve come to learn the U.S. Navy to our surprise is running out of warships. Why if our own armed forces are downsizing is the USA still backing and funneling taxpayer money to Bibi Netanyahu’s parasitic Zionist dictatorship in Israel? The basic problem remains an unrealistic commitment to a pro-Zionist foreign policy and aid package concocted to “save Israel”- which enrages the larger Arab and Muslim communities, which have a lock on oil production. Who’s expected to pay the bills for coddling the Israelis aka parasitic Jews? The Tribe is not the wealthiest racial group in the USA and, for that matter, the entire world. OK, kids, when Santa Clause comes tumbling down the chimney be polite and do not ask him what happened to your allowance money.
Which party carries the blame? Both - since Carter was a Dem and Trump has become a useless GOP mascot aka donkey for the corrupt and morally perverted Israelis. And even worse, there is no Ross Perot this time around to raise our hopes for reform and common sense. Americans - middle class, rich and poor - are all going to take a massive financial hit by early autumn until way beyond Christmas and well into next summer, possibly far longer. So, to aid your fellow Americans, step down, brother Trump, to enable a new White House team to mend fences with the furious Iranians and their partners in Russia and China or the entire American enterprise could come apart while our former European and Asian allies remain stone cold silent in dismay during a global economic collapse. .
I’ve had qualms about “the Iranian Revolution” beginning with my long stays in the Persian Gulf region, which started with the Bush-Cheney War in Iraq. At the time I was the only American journalist in Dubai in the Gulf zone. There I received a message of warning that I was third at the top of the list as a news reporter scheduled to be shot dead if I stepped ashore in Iraq. That threat came from DC and not from Saddam Hussein. Soon thereafter, two of my Japanese colleagues from Tokyo - whose names had not been posted on the hit list - were gunned down on the very day of their arrival in Iraq - one at the border checkpoint and the other whose was body found 15 miles down the road, obviously after undergoing questioning aboard a Humvee. Throughout my long stays in the Gulf region I avoided Iran due to the gut-feeling that any direct contact would be - well - that on my return to the so-called “Free World” a bullet would be fired out of the CIA arsenal. Yeah, we met the Enemy and it was US.
It’s been no secret that the CIA has lusted to rid Iran of Islamist resistance and reinstall a puppet regime of Big Oil atop the energy trove that is Iran along with its surrounding neighborhood. During my summer vacations in my college days I had to toil as a gardener for a pittance in pay at the Beverly Hill mansions of the sycophants of the deposed Shah of Iran. Only once was I invited to a dinner party where it was mentioned that the Iranian Jews were on the payroll of the CIA and the oil cartel. That came as no surprise – just biz as usual.
Trump’s provocation to convert a totally destroyed Gaza into an American-run seaside resort for the international jet aka world Jewry obviously inflamed Iranian anger and disgust. It ain’t New Jersey or Atlantic City, Don, the homeland of your mafia pals. The entire game of diplomacy is to make foes and neutrals into friends, neutrals and possibly allies. Instead his provocative language rallied the Iranians against what they call: the Great Satan. Caution with language is a no-brainer when it’s just too easily to demonize a hedonistic, casual and corrupt American society. Diplomatic language and polite behavior are essential in a world community that has lost nearly all respect for the USA as put in that horrifying nickname: the Great Satan. America is the land of our devout Pilgrims forerunners, a legacy that the world knows hardly anything about. Without doubt the rag-tag jihadists will soon be on a roll to punish local supporters of the USA across the Gulf region and the Middle East. A mega-disaster is unfolding, bringing the so-called “American Century” to its grave and cause soaring prices for a fill-up of gas.
As a roving journalist who tried to befriend foreign skeptics to begin to trust the USA, I now look back realizing that it was a fool’s mission when vulgarity and bad manners are now rampant in a corrupt society. The collapse of the Middle East oil economy in dollar terms will probably rack up the largest loss in U.S. financial history. It’s going to be a hard winter for average American families shivering in their ice-cold living quarters, while Donald enjoys a hot cup of cider in one of his oversize mansions. Yeah, Merry Christmas for your soon to be disappointed kids.
