So… the last tanker to exit the Strait of Hormuz before the US and Israeli strikes has now arrived at its destination. The final barrels of crude loaded before the conflict have been delivered, refined, and consumed.

Since the end of February, tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has become a critical pressure point, yet governments and mainstream media (increasingly operating as one system) have largely avoided explaining the full implications to the public. You saw the headlines last week, didn't you? "Peace talks progressing," "Deal imminent," and suddenly… poof!... oil prices dip.

I actually got liquidated on my oil futures again because of this nonsense. I was up 400%, sold some, and then BOOM! Fake news hits the wire, the algo-bots panic sell, and my position gets wiped out. It’s been happening for months. The market isn't pricing in reality; it’s pricing in the scripted hallucinations of the elite.

But here is the reality that the algorithms and the “What To Do In Case of a Nuclear Attack” crowd aren't telling you: The Strait has been effectively closed for three months. The last tanker that managed to squeeze through the choke point before the "terror attacks" or whatever military intervention occurred has just arrived at its destination. That gasoline is already in your tank. It’s gone.

Now, picture a supertanker. It’s not a FedEx envelope. It doesn't zip from the Persian Gulf to Houston in 24 hours. Most people still don’t understand the timeline involved. Oil tankers leaving the Persian Gulf can take two to three months to reach destinations, depending on where they’re headed. Imagine cycling from Iran, around Africa, and across to Brazil - that’s the kind of distance these ships cover. The tankers arriving now were loaded months ago.

Behind them? NOTHING!

Supply chains don’t break overnight. They empty slowly, quietly, and then suddenly everyone notices at once. We are now entering the "gradually, then suddenly" phase. The pipeline is dry. The SPR is empty. The repricing of the entire energy complex is about to break the backs of the central banks.

Right now, everything still appears “on schedule.” The shelves are stocked, the fuel pumps are running, the construction crews are working, and people are preparing for summer as usual. But beneath the surface, the global energy system may already be entering a new phase… one almost no-one has been prepared for. (Except if you’ve been following my videos on Vigilante.TV or following me on X @ BerwickJeff.

And, while the supply shock hits the real world, the financial house of cards is tumbling.

In March alone, oil-importing emerging markets dumped $86 billion in US Treasuries. That is the largest decline since 2011. They need cash to buy oil at any price and are liquidating US assets to get it. When nations stop buying (or start selling) US debt, the Ponzi scheme wobbles.

The US government plans another Dirty War, relies on the world holding its debt. If they stop playing ball, the bond market crashes. The dollar reserve system is eating itself alive.

But don't think for a second that this isn't orchestrated. Just before the energy shock hits, the markets are being artificially propped up to facilitate the final exit strategy for the Techno-Totalitarian giants.

We are seeing a massive pump-and-dump. They are keeping the illusion of wealth alive just long enough to float the IPOs of the companies that will enslave you: SpaceX, OpenAI. The beast system needs capital to go public at the absolute top to secure funding for the surveillance grid, the AI control networks, and the 6G prison. Once they cash out, they pull the plug. They let the crash happen, scoop up real assets for pennies, and you get left with a digital currency that buys nothing.

It’s hard for the average person to see this because they are neurologically hijacked. People spend 12 years in government indoctrination camps, then come home to glue themselves to screens feeding them algorithmic mind control. They're fluorinated. Injected with nanotech. Chemtrailed with ticks. And, it's so incredible to be watching it all replay again.

I can't believe the last few years since the Covaids scamdemic. Remember all the way back then I said I can't believe no one could see what's going on. Remember the ovens in Mexico City? The media told us they never stop burning. The ovens never stop burning. Black smoke billows out from Mexico City's crematorium. And, I was just sitting here in Mexico going, nothing's going on, no one's dying. How come these crematoriums never stop burning. I even went there to check myself and found an empty parking lot with one guy who had just woken up from a siesta because, yeah, no one had been there recently. I said, are you guys busy? He's like, no, there's no one here.

I recently watched Planet Mind Control by Jason Christoff. It explains perfectly why nobody is reacting to what is happening in Hormuz. Christoff breaks down how Hollywood isn't there to entertain you; it's there to program you. They use predictive programming to prep your subconscious for the events they are about to unleash. It shows how alcohol and coffee are pushed in every scene to shut down your critical thinking faculties. Coffee cuts off blood flow to your brain. It’s like voluntarily putting yourself in a choke hold so you don't notice the world burning.

Most people are serotonin-depleted zombies because their reality is a script written by producers who view the masses as a joystick. You live on Planet Mind Control. If you still trust the news, you are the product.

So, what do you do?

You prepare. At the ranch, we aren't waiting for the government to save us. We’ve got the solar panels going up. We are building our own water, our own energy. We even have the local kids helping out (we pay them, of course) getting them out of the government schools and teaching them real skills.

But you also need to protect your wealth. The system is going to try to reset into a digital slave grid. You need to be outside of it before the doors slam shut. This bifurcation is happening. One group goes into the pod, eats the bugs, and takes the CBDC. The other group seeks decentralization, precious metals, and cryptocurrencies now.
