The Great Depression of the 1930s was purposefully created

And they are most likely deep in the middle of doing it again.

….and then they send your children off to world war 3.

Better to starve than serve these types.

This is how you close the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab Al Mandab Strait without getting blamed for it

Once you realize everything is scripted, the world starts making a lot more sense.

Back in December 2025, Saudi Arabia backed the UAE's removal of all troops from Yemen, who were fighting the Houthis.

Exactly 2 months later Israel & Trump bombed Iran.

Now the Houthis have captured the Red Sea transportation route, Saudi Arabia is pretending to fight them and the U.S. is sitting back watching.

The U.S. doesn't want either transportation routes open.
Their goal is to starve the world of fuel and Dollars.

All wars are banker wars

 

Saudi Arabia – No one getting paid

Well, there’s no money. The reserves that were built up. No one’s getting paid at the moment. Contracts, building sites—nothing is being paid. There is no money to pay anything. There’s no money to buy people out. There was a big reserve built up of cash, but most of that has gone on these big projects like the NEOM hotel and these other projects, and there’s none of that left.

Saudi Oil Flowing Through Hormuz and by Whose Leave?

 SOMETHING VERY INTERESTING IS HAPPENING IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ

Reuters reports Saudi Aramco loaded around 14 MILLION barrels of crude onto seven VLCCs at Gulf terminals on Sunday.

Satellite images reportedly show seven tankers around Ras Tanura.

Why is this interesting?

Saudi Arabia’s East West pipeline was attacked and shut down.

That pipeline exists specifically to allow Saudi crude to bypass Hormuz and reach the Red Sea.

So what happened next?

Saudi dramatically increased crude exports THROUGH Hormuz.

And Reuters reports Aramco has sold around 60 million barrels from Ras Tanura for September and October with cargoes intended for ship to ship transfers at Sohar.

Oman.

So the emerging route looks like:

Ras Tanura
Strait of Hormuz
Sohar
 Asian buyers

Now it gets interesting.

Iran has been restricting shipping through Hormuz.

Iran and Oman have simultaneously been negotiating a temporary navigation corridor, mine clearance, information sharing, traffic management and eventually a longer term framework for the Strait.

And now millions of barrels of Saudi crude are moving through Hormuz towards Oman.

I have NOT found evidence yet that Iran gave Saudi Arabia permission or that these tankers are part of an Iran Saudi agreement.

That distinction matters.

But the question now becomes unavoidable.

If Iran controls the threat environment around Hormuz, Oman is negotiating the navigation architecture and Saudi is dramatically increasing crude movements through the Strait, exactly how are these tankers being deconflicted?

Who is guaranteeing passage?

 Iran?

 Oman?

The US?

Or some combination negotiated behind the scenes?

This is what I’m watching.

Because if evidence emerges that Iran is knowingly facilitating Saudi crude passage while Oman acts as the intermediary and transshipment node, that would be much more significant than seven tankers.

It would be another piece of the regional architecture I believe is emerging as the Forever War winds down.

Don’t follow the rhetoric.

Follow the oil.
