from Dave DeCamp,
Trump: "The US will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it, too. We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for people of the area."
01:42. The Great American hoax is over, and Trump is there to oversee the dismembering of American Empire. The U.S. is going to be isolated. It's going to withdraw and it's going to be non-competitive globally, like I said, this is all unavoidable. This would have happened with or without Trump. You simply come to the end of your life cycle as a hegemonic superpower, and the decay and the decomposition that will follow this is part of the natural process. Trump can't be blamed for that. He can't be given credit for any of this, but his job is to make you think none of it's happening even while it's happening right in front of your face. This is what Trump's main job is. Because look, for example, "Drill Baby, drill." "Make America energy self-sufficient," etc., etc. "Fire up all of the dormant oil wells in West Texas," and so on. While simultaneously asking OPEC to lower oil prices, which, of course, means asking OPEC to increase production. The way that goes is increased production by OPEC, and if they do it by the US as well, then the oil price drops and cheap oil floods the market out of sync with demand driving the price down even further. Now the price is too low for it to even be profitable for American producers to drill, to refine or to extract. American oil producers need oil to be at a minimum of $40 per barrel for it to even be worth it, for it to even be worth it to drill, to extract, to refine, and so forth. Meanwhile, OPEC can still make a profit at just $10 a barrel. Understand, America cannot play the oil game with OPEC. OPEC has the capacity to ramp up oil production if they want to, anytime they want to. They can ramp up oil production, they can increase production to a level within just 90 days that America couldn't reach even in 5 years. In other words, OPEC can decimate the American oil and gas sector anytime they want. The only reason they don't do that is because they want to maintain price stability for their own reasons. They would rather have oil at $70 a barrel or $100 a barrel, rather than $10 a barrel. So they choose to allow America to stay in the game and that's the only reason. But if you're going to ramp up oil production on your end, well then you better hope that OPEC responds by cutting production on their end just to stabilize price because if they don't, if they respond in kind and they do what you do, they also ramp up a oil production, and then they drive the price of oil down to their minimum profit level, well, that [would] nuke America's whole oil industry. Plants, drilling sites, refineries, all that's going to shut down. Tens of thousands of jobs will disappear overnight, and for everyone job in the oil and gas sector there's at least two or three jobs that are indirectly related to that. So you're looking at potentially hundreds of thousands of jobs lost by "Drill, baby drill," not to mention that when that happens no one in the private sector is going to invest in the oil sector anymore.
