Oil and gas prices in the US and Europe are about to explode higher, and it's not "just a temporary bump." I break it all down in this new video: ➡️ Why the US is still a net importer of actual crude oil (not the NGLs the EIA loves to lump in and call "petroleum") ➡️ How we're already maxed out on export logistics - those tankers can't load any faster ➡️ The massive 8+ million barrels/day shortfall from the Gulf that's not coming back anytime soon ➡️ Why all those "empty" oil tankers heading our way are about to pull product straight out of already-tight inventories This isn't about "we have more oil than the next two countries combined." It's about the right molecules, at the right time, for the right uses. Light shale stuff can't replace what refineries actually need. SPR draws won't save us. And the futures market is about to snap back to reality in a big way. Complexity matters. Get ahead of it while you still can. Discuss this with me over at Peak Prosperity:

Gasoline inventories in the US are at their lowest levels in 10 years, and quickly heading lower, because we're artificially suppressing US oil prices and exporting it all over the world. Unless they allow prices to rise and curb demand, we could be hitting "tank bottom" in early July. Full report:

How to explain the movements in CK's shirt and the bulges and such? Not perfect, but we recreated the shirt movements to our satisfaction due to cavitation in a ballistic gel dummy. I wish we'd had a ballistic gel dummy with bones inside....*sigh* But the principle remains: during a cavitation event, the non-compressible fluids of the body expand rapidly and transfer that momentum to the clothing. The fluids then collapse back extremely rapidly, but the shirt keeps doing whatever it needs to do to bleed off all that inertia. BONUS: We broke a chain with a cross on it 3 out of three experiments, replicating that 'feature' as well.

The economic damage from the Iran conflict has already been done, and it's about to get a LOT worse. Oil inventories are crashing, gasoline & diesel are at 10-year lows, and LNG shipments are down sharply. Even if the Strait opens tomorrow, the lag effects mean pain is coming: spiking prices, shortages, and volatility this summer. Buffers are gone. Manipulation keeping US prices artificially low is just accelerating the drawdown and sending our product overseas. Trump’s approval on cost of living is tanking for a reason! Part of my latest Scouting Report is below. The full report covers market mania, big money fleeing government paper, and what it all means for you. Full report: The clock is ticking. Stay aware, stay prepared.

When looking at just oil (not all petroleum products), the US imports more than it exports. How, then, is the US currently exporting 2 million more barrels per day than normal? Simple: it's eating into its reserves and stockpiles. Indeed, US oil inventories just hit a 22-year low. We will soon reach critical operational thresholds. Full report:

Oil executives, analysts, major banks, and even Reuters are now all reporting the same thing: the full impact of the Strait of Hormuz closure has not yet been felt, and it's coming. Expect major price spikes in energy right as the summer driving season is starting and inventory buffers are running out. Folks - this is serious, and you need to be prepared. Full report:

If the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz continues, the world will need to function on the same amount of oil as it did in 2010. On an inflation-adjusted basis, this means the economy would need to shrink by 50%. Even if it only shrinks by half that (due to efficiencies), this would be as large an insult to the global economy as the Great Depression. Full report:

If Epstein wasn't running a blackmail ring, then Kash Patel and Pam Bondi need to account for why Leon Black (one of the founders of Apollo Global Management) paid out $170 million to Epstein after a probe found evidence it was for funding Epstein's trafficking network.

According to Utah State University physics professor Robert Davies, the proposed Stratos 9 gigawatt data center would generate 16 gigawatts of heat concentrated in one location. This is the equivalent of detonating 23 atomic bombs, and would easily raise the nighttime temperature by a staggering 28 degrees. Put simply, it would be an ecological disaster. Full report:

We're steaming toward tank bottoms, and there's nothing on the political table that might slow it down. Trump wants low oil prices, and he's been able to get them, and he doesn't want to concede anything to Iran. Even if he did, it might not matter, because Israel's going to do what it feels is in Israel's best interests. Prediction: Oil demand is going to remain too high for the circumstances, and all parties will draw down their precious reserves until a true panic sets in. How long before that happens? It could be a couple more months. Full report:

This could be the most important chart right now. The days-on-hand inventory of commercial crude oil is plunging past minimum operational levels. The last time we saw anything approaching these conditions was 2008, when oil spiked to $147, which is $220 in today's dollar value. Full report:

This is what I call the twin peaks of oil destruction: ➡️ Below $80, we get less oil supply because it's less profitable to extract. ➡️ Above $140, we get less oil demand because it's too expensive to buy. Those two numbers are moving closer and closer over time due to inflation, lower-quality wells, and overall debt loads. When they eventually meet, it's game over. Full report:

Don't believe the hype that we won't see energy shortages in the US. If you look at the actual numbers, here's what you see: ➡️Total petroleum inventories - declining ➡️Crude oil inventories - declining ➡️Gasoline inventories - already at 5-year lows ➡️Diesel and jet fuel inventories - already below 5-year lows They're trying to buy time, but time is running out.

This is the most robust chart in all of economics, and it shows that GDP has a near-perfect correlation to oil consumption. If a shortage of oil goes on for too long, then the economy will be forced into retreat to match the amount of oil that's available. It's that simple. Full report:

I used to be totally plugged into a materialistic system, and there was almost no spiritual stuff in my life. Now I'm much more plugged into the spiritual side, and I care about things like truth and beauty from a personal growth standpoint. This is the development that's happened. Now, at my property, I do what I do to create more abundance and beauty for all of life. I'm not just growing potatoes because we need potatoes - I plant stuff for the birds, the bees, and the insects. I enjoy my relationship with what I'm doing here. I see more people starting to wake up to this idea that the materialistic life we were brought into is not fulfilling. It's not meaningful. It's time we all started running towards something and not away from something. This and more in my full interview with Jeff Berwick:

Kevin O'Leary, the main proponent of the proposed Stratos 9 gigawatt data center, says they'll get the power for it from the Ruby Pipeline, which he says is only 17% utilized. The problem is that, in order to obtain the amount of gas needed to produce 9 gigawatts, it would require more than 100% of the full capacity of the pipeline! Tough luck for whoever is currently using the 17% flow? I break down all the math in this video. Full report here: Tucker Carlson
