@onnit84 @JimFergusonUK The question you need to ask is where does the supply of diesel and jet fuel come from and where do these suppliers get their crude oil and what pressures in their systems are happening... Currently tankers are just being rerouted mid journey to the higher bidders.

@JimFergusonUK About 5% of the U.K. oil and gas comes through the Strait of Hormuz. The majority is from Norway, USA and Africa.

🚨 UK FUEL WARNING — THIS COULD TURN FAST No one can tell you “we’ll be fine.” And no one can honestly guarantee how bad this gets. Here’s what we do know: • The UK relies heavily on imported diesel, jet fuel and heating oil • Domestic refining has been cut back for years • Stockpiles are low compared to other nations • A major supply route — the Strait of Hormuz — is under pressure What that means: If disruption continues… This doesn’t hit slowly. It hits fast. You won’t wake up to “no fuel.” You’ll see it coming: • Prices spike • Supply tightens • Industries start slowing • Pressure builds week by week And here’s the truth most people ignore: Modern systems don’t collapse because they run out. They collapse because they can’t cope with the pressure. No panic. No hype. Just reality: The UK doesn’t have much margin for error right now.

@onnit84 @JimFergusonUK I don't see how you remove 10million barrels of oil a day from a highly connected system and expect everything to work just fine... Anyhow for the UK, it's isn't a crude oil problem - it's a refined product issue with diesel and jet fuel..

@OMApproach Thanks for posting what you do. It's a shame that Leslie Kean, couldn't have said more. I agree there does seem more to this current war and oil take down. Everyone I know, thinks this is temporary - but this could go on for much longer than we imagine.

Leslie Kean, a top-tier journalist, said in 2024 that things are going to get worse, both geopolitically and climate-wise. She said she had sources about this, but she is not allowed to talk or speculate. Things that we take for granted today will not be here in the near future, and it will only get worse. And that is exactly what is happening with this war. It is not just about oil; it is also about food and water. Things are going to get really bad very soon. In the coming decades, some people will try to survive in doomsday bunkers. But the average people are going to watch the market fluctuate with every new announcement, and they are going to tear each other apart because they do not have the eyes to see nor the ears to listen.

@TOEwithCurt It's a shame this interview is no longer available...

One of the most engaging conversations I've had for TOE. And that's saying plenty. Thank you Leslie. Leslie Kean is an investigative journalist, notable for her work on UFOs/UAPs and the afterlife. See the conversation here: youtu.be/j1fN5Gxm9fk

@Noosh18301Sp @JimFergusonUK How about WE stop bombing hospitals, killing people and interfering? Don't like your rulers, we will kill you and destroy your infrastructure....

@JimFergusonUK This is exactly why the regime in Iran cannot be controlling the Strait of Hormuz. They will hold the world hostage given the amount of oil that comes through. They can do this anytime they want! All countries need to pitch in and help with safer passage over the Strait.

🚨 FUEL SHORTAGES HIT AUSTRALIA — CRIME ALREADY RISING Australia is starting to feel the pressure. Reports show: • Criminals siphoning petrol from cars on the streets • 164 petrol stations without diesel • Supply disruptions pushing food prices higher This is how it begins. Fuel shortages don’t stay at the pump. They spread: Transport slows Deliveries drop Prices rise Crime follows Businesses are already cutting deliveries. Some goods are arriving only twice a week instead of daily. And officials are now openly discussing: Fuel rationing. This is not chaos. But it is the early stage of breakdown. Because when fuel becomes unstable… Everything else follows. And what’s happening in Australia today… Can happen anywhere next

@Bondguy8888 @Uncommonsince76 I take it you haven't noticed gasoline prices going up then 😉

@Uncommonsince76 Omg we don't use Middle East oil. What is wrong with people. This isn't 1970

This war is escalating in an insane manner… and the reality is it’s totally possible this exact scenario plays out. War game it for a moment… U.S. strikes Iranian energy, Iran strikes Energy infrastructure and Desalination plants in the GCC. Who loses. American consumers as oil goes to the moon, gulf countries as they experience mass dehydration, Iran as they have trouble keeping the lights on etc… But who wins? Israel… Iran will have a much tougher time keeping the country together and the military operation going without power… You may say, well the US won’t do this because it is in direct opposition to its own interests… The entire war is in direct opposition to American interest… You may also argue that Israel wouldn’t want this because the chance of large retaliation strikes against them would be catastrophic… Maybe. But all indications from the Israeli leadership is full steam ahead. They already feel that the whole situation is existential. With Their dwindling American support it’s now or never…. Would they risk millions of Arab lives, Persian lives, starvation in east Asia, financial and migration crises in Europe and America just to become a regional power in the Middle East? You better believe it. Just take a look at Gaza…

@Clair569228 @JoeyMannarino @AontuIE @PQuinlanNP @PaulTreyvaud @gavpepper85 @kenoflynnTD It's not designed for the people that come here on boats, throwing away their documents before they arrive ... Because you need documents and a passport to apply and be able to prove you have been in Spain since last year.

@clivesmithy @JoeyMannarino @AontuIE @PQuinlanNP @PaulTreyvaud @gavpepper85 @kenoflynnTD Spain, along with Greece, Italy, and Cyprus, is designated as a "high-pressure" state, allowing it to request that other EU countries accept asylum seekers, reducing the burden on Spanish systems. Spain has already relocated 4000 asylum seekers before the pact even starts.

The Spanish police have just announced that the real figure of migrants being “normalized” under Pedro Sanchez’s new laws is actually 1.35 MILLION. The government originally lied and said it was 500,000. The later revised it to about 800,000. The police have said the real number is 1.35 MILLION. Please keep in mind this is BEFORE family reunifications are factored into the equation. I think it’s time to reconsider Spain’s ability to participate in Schengen and in the US Visa Waiver Program.

@Clair569228 @JoeyMannarino @AontuIE @PQuinlanNP @PaulTreyvaud @gavpepper85 @kenoflynnTD The illegal immigrants, this visa will be targeted for, are those from Venezuela, Columbia and the other parts of Spanish speaking south America. They have to prove that they were living in Spain, prior to December 2025. Many have been here already months or years.

@pierrelarsen @JoeyMannarino Wrong... It's 10 years of residency. You think that the average Columbian that this visa is for, wants to leave for Germany or France as soon as possible, given that they speak only Spanish?

@clivesmithy @JoeyMannarino After 5 years they will apply for and get Spanish citizenship.

@pierrelarsen @sjorgemartin @JoeyMannarino This is no different to the visas given to the Ukrainian refugees. It allows them to live and work in Spain only. After 10 years of residency and a certain level of Spanish they can apply for a passport, like anyone else.

If Spain is willing to accept 1.5 million or however many illegal refugees and grant them permanent residency. With permanent Spanish residency, they can travel and also obtain facilitated work permits in other EU countries. And of course, permanent residency will lead to Spanish (and EU) citizenship.

@pierrelarsen @sjorgemartin @JoeyMannarino They get a temporary residency visa, that doesn't allow them to live or work outside of Spain. This isn't a passport - so they have no further rights, than their current passport gives them. After 5 years they can apply for a permanent visa.

@sjorgemartin @pierrelarsen @JoeyMannarino This scheme is for people that can prove they have been living here illegally before December 2025 and or have requested assistance. Most of the people that come by boat from Africa, don't stay long in Spain, as they get no handouts from the government.

@clivesmithy @pierrelarsen @JoeyMannarino In spain some immigrants dont come by plane or car, they come literally by boat directly from africa, they dont speak Spanish or English and they dont carry with them any kind of document at all. They dont have identity, dont even say which country they come from to avoid deporta

@_Hobbes__ @JoeyMannarino A temporary residency visa, doesn't give you the right to vote here in Spain!

@JoeyMannarino They will end being more than two million. Socialist party needs voters and spaniards have had enough of it, so it's buying millions of new voters with our money. This will destroy every hint of a civilized country and will end in a civil war, of course.

@RdCuddy @JoeyMannarino @elonmusk They (VOX) are unlikely to win, as this is something that has been done before by the PP and the socialists over the decades repeatedly. We are all immigrants here so why the nightmare, your renewal will come in time, like everyone else's.

@JoeyMannarino and @elonmusk ...my renewal will be an absolute nightmare...as someone here on a visa...but I was also under the impression that VOX was taking this matter to court to try and stop the process...

@Q_X_Factor @JoeyMannarino @elonmusk It's been done repeatedly before by various different governments over the decades. It's not fraud, it will help with paying pensions as the Spanish population ages

@JoeyMannarino @elonmusk This is a very concerning turn of events. Slapping the Spanish stamp of resident approval for these illegals is plain wrong. It's fraud at the national level.

@Clair569228 @JoeyMannarino @AontuIE @PQuinlanNP @PaulTreyvaud @gavpepper85 @kenoflynnTD Most of these people are from South America, speak Spanish and have lived here already for months or years. This visa will give them the ability to work legally and live here. This is nothing new and has been done before repeatedly by various governments.

@JoeyMannarino @AontuIE @PQuinlanNP @PaulTreyvaud @gavpepper85 @kenoflynnTD why is no one highlighting the impact this will have on the EU migration pact. What if a country goes rogue like this again then decide they can’t handle it, you are leaving Ireland open to unimaginable risks.

@DESTINIFY_01 @JoeyMannarino @elonmusk Also they gain a residency visa only, it does not give access to the rest of Europe.

@JoeyMannarino @elonmusk Half a million people get papers just like that? Cool for the economy I guess, someone's gotta pick the fruit and build the houses... but damn, feels like the rules changed overnight. Anyone else think this sets a weird precedent for the rest of Europe?

@DESTINIFY_01 @JoeyMannarino @elonmusk This has been done repeatedly by various Spanish governments over the decades - this is not a new thing. These undocumented people have been living here for months/years already. Many of them are from Spanish speaking countries in South America.

@nsentinelmapper @JoeyMannarino 450000 of those immigrants are British!
