Off-topic, but I wanted to rant a bit about how "They" manipulate the public consciousness. Specifically, when he comments, "The important thing in the Middle East is the Persian Gulf, cause that's where the oil is." That message has been drilled into all of us.
While that statement is technically true, it's also been irrelevant for some years now. This article discusses some relevant info, but I'll take a microscope to it:
Did The U.S. Become The World’s Top Oil Producer Under President Trump? (9/29/2020)
If you look at the date, this was approaching the 2020 election when it was fresh in many people's minds that, "At long last, Trump made America not only energy-independent, but a big exporter". This obvious progressive actively sought to destroy that notion with this article.
This guy is a "chemical engineer covering the energy sector" and a Senior Contributor to Forbes, where the article was republished. You think he'd have some kind of expertise, right? A sense of that expertise is suggested when he complains that:
The statement is nonsense, of course. The graphic itself says it's reporting "petroleum and natural gas production", but those two products are individually reported by units of barrels and MBTUs. As the products are virtually always found and extracted together, to combine them into a single figure for "production" we have to change the units for at least one (natural gas is often converted to "BOE", or "barrels of oil equivalent"). Does this dipshit really not know about this standard practice?
What to notice at the current time, though, is that no one in the mainstream makes any mention of entire subject. Why? The issue of petroleum production and energy-independence have been almost completely forgotten by the public. Were they to be discussed, the argument would be all on the side of the US leaving the Middle East entirely, and leaving Israel to lie in the bed it's made.
It's actually quite funny because this same douche begins that exact case in another post:
EIA Confirms U.S. Producing More Oil Than Any Country in History (3/15/2024)
What a world we live in. Okay, that's out of my system!
It's relevant in the context of strategic importance, not for the oil itself. The United States basically found some desert dwelling Muslim extremists and gave them a new God in the almighty dollar. I don't dispute the fact America could be energy independent if it was advantageous to the powers that be but nature abhors a vacuum and someone must have their boot on the neck of the world.
"In February 1945, Abdulaziz and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt met aboard the USS Quincy in the Suez Canal. There they made a historic handshake agreement (still in effect today), whereby Saudi Arabia would supply oil to the United States in exchange for American military protection of the Saudi regime."

You know, the other item of interest in that short video was when someone mentioned the petrodollar. Really, the host just said the word and the guest said "Exactly". It's a touchstone in conspiracy circles, and we've all heard about it for years and decades.
While yes, of course petroleum will forever be traded somewhere in dollars, the operational concept of the petrodollar died over the past couple of years. Only a handful of people can be said to have noticed.
My point is that when the Elites take a big "L", They just stop talking about it. In turn, both normies and conspiracists have nothing to react to in the headlines and just continue on with whatever ideas they already had.
It's quite startling to see how effective this simple technique really is.
After what they did to Gaddafi I think it'd be safe to assume those discussions are probably happening away from microphones and reaper drones
