The Persian Gulf Proves To Risky For Trump
And The Navy As US Fuel Prices Soar



By Yoichi Shimatsu
9-25-26

The present jump in gasoline prices is disturbingly similar to the 1970s Arab oil boycott that put my pick-up truck into a back alley while I pedaled a bicycle cross-town to the Indiana factory where I worked as a low-wage welder. Since Donald Trump is a tad older than me, he should also be able to recall the angry public response to the Carter White House against the rising cost of gasoline caused by the double-whammy of the Arab oil embargo against the USA and the Iranian hostage crisis. History is now repeating itself, Don, so look around for a successor to the Oval Office or the damned lucky Dems will be certain to crush the GOP in the next presidential election if you remain the simple-minded moron with Zionist pretentions aka the idiot loser in charge of another massive economic depression.

Food costs are rising, doctor bills destroying household budgets and gasoline becoming ever more costly in the $7 per gallon range while those helpless overpaid Arab oil sheikhs are watching their pipelines and wells being blasted by precision Iranian rocket strikes. Wary of shore-to-ship missile strikes, U.S. naval vessels fled the Persian Gulf for the duration while America’s oil reserves are rapidly depleting. The decision to scram over into the Indian Ocean rather than sink into Davy Jones’ locker was a good one if Pearl Harbor served as a lesson to let the Navy become sitting ducks.

Needless to say: our Gulf region allies in Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been abandoned by U.S. military power as their oil tanks and pipelines burn bright in the Arabian night. The princeling have gold stashed in London banks, so do not feel sorry for them since it’s the average Arab man and shrouded woman who will bear the brunt of sudden poverty.  Arguably, this ongoing energy crisis will have ever-worsening consequences for the world economy and especially for automobile dependent Americans, perhaps more severe than the Arab oil boycott of the 1970s. For the average American household adaptability to hard times and reduced spending are now key to basic financial survival, while the president retreats to his golf courses and mansions. The hopeless fact is that the president is more like those privileged Arab royals than your hard-working American dad trapped in the maws of chronic debt. 

What’s happening now due to Trump’s ignorance of the global energy emergency is that the average American family is starting to see skyrocketing costs for automobile fuel and home heating, which could way worsen when autumn turns to winter and a silent Christmas. Way back during the Arab oil boycott of the 1970s instead of driving my fuel efficient VW van, I went to my across-town welding job on a bicycle - and that is now starting to happen again as I pump air into the tires of my used bicycle pulled out of a storage lcoker for just such an emergency. Jimmy then, Don now - Americans are screwed by a twisted foreign policy in the Middle East oil market as the U.S. economy begins to tank. My late summer visit to California is now on hold, cancelled over the foreseeable future due to gasoline prices averaging $7 a gallon out west – even before the recent Persian Gulf folly.

Since the price of fuel affects every sector of this nation’s declining prosperity, millions of American families are beginning to teeter over the edge of a financial cliff. Dreams of a new and larger home and a road-worthy car are about to be shattered like a mirror falling onto the bathroom floor. And on top of this ongoing fiasco, we’ve come to learn the U.S. Navy to our surprise is running out of warships. Why if our own armed forces are downsizing is the USA still backing and funneling taxpayer money to Bibi Netanyahu’s parasitic Zionist dictatorship in Israel? The basic problem remains an unrealistic commitment to a pro-Zionist foreign policy and aid package concocted to “save Israel”- which enrages the larger Arab and Muslim communities, which have a lock on oil production. Who’s expected to pay the bills for coddling the Israelis aka parasitic Jews? The Tribe is not the wealthiest racial group in the USA and, for that matter, the entire world. OK, kids, when Santa Clause comes tumbling down the chimney be polite and do not ask him what happened to your allowance money.

Which party carries the blame? Both - since Carter was a Dem and Trump has become a useless GOP mascot aka donkey for the corrupt and morally perverted Israelis. And even worse, there is no Ross Perot this time around to raise our hopes for reform and common sense. Americans - middle class, rich and poor - are all going to take a massive financial hit by early autumn until way beyond Christmas and well into next summer, possibly far longer. So, to aid your fellow Americans, step down, brother Trump, to enable a new White House team to mend fences with the furious Iranians and their partners in Russia and China or the entire American enterprise could come apart while our former European and Asian allies remain stone cold silent in dismay during a global economic collapse. .

Iran Fiasco Redux

I’ve had qualms about “the Iranian Revolution” beginning with my long stays in the Persian Gulf region, which started with the Bush-Cheney War in Iraq. At the time I was the only American journalist in Dubai in the Gulf zone. There I received a message of warning that I was third at the top of the list as a news reporter scheduled to be shot dead if I stepped ashore in Iraq. That threat came from DC and not from Saddam Hussein. Soon thereafter, two of my Japanese colleagues from Tokyo - whose names had not been posted on the hit list - were gunned down on the very day of their arrival in Iraq - one at the border checkpoint and the other whose was body found 15 miles down the road, obviously after undergoing questioning aboard a Humvee. Throughout my long stays in the Gulf region I avoided Iran due to the gut-feeling that any direct contact would be - well - that on my return to the so-called “Free World” a bullet would be fired out of the CIA arsenal. Yeah, we met the Enemy and it was US.

It’s been no secret that the CIA has lusted to rid Iran of Islamist resistance and reinstall a puppet regime of Big Oil atop the energy trove that is Iran along with its surrounding neighborhood. During my summer vacations in my college days I had to toil as a gardener for a pittance in pay at the Beverly Hill mansions of the sycophants of the deposed Shah of Iran. Only once was I invited to a dinner party where it was mentioned that the Iranian Jews were on the payroll of the CIA and the oil cartel. That came as no surprise – just biz as usual.

Trump’s provocation to convert a totally destroyed Gaza into an American-run seaside resort for the international jet aka world Jewry obviously inflamed Iranian anger and disgust. It ain’t New Jersey or Atlantic City, Don, the homeland of your mafia pals. The entire game of diplomacy is to make foes and neutrals into friends, neutrals and possibly allies. Instead his provocative language rallied the Iranians against what they call: the Great Satan. Caution with language is a no-brainer when it’s just too easily to demonize a hedonistic, casual and corrupt American society. Diplomatic language and polite behavior are essential in a world community that has lost nearly all respect for the USA as put in that horrifying nickname: the Great Satan. America is the land of our devout Pilgrims forerunners, a legacy that the world knows hardly anything about. Without doubt the rag-tag jihadists will soon be on a roll to punish local supporters of the USA across the Gulf region and the Middle East. A mega-disaster is unfolding, bringing the so-called “American Century” to its grave and cause soaring prices for a fill-up of gas.

As a roving journalist who tried to befriend foreign skeptics to begin to trust the USA, I now look back realizing that it was a fool’s mission when vulgarity and bad manners are now rampant in a corrupt society. The collapse of the Middle East oil economy in dollar terms will probably rack up the largest loss in U.S. financial history. It’s going to be a hard winter for average American families shivering in their ice-cold living quarters, while Donald enjoys a hot cup of cider in one of his oversize mansions. Yeah, Merry Christmas for your soon to be disappointed kids.

It seems remarkable that the Iranian strike-force also has the precision capability of blotting out key military assets throughout Israel - avenging the Gaza Arab massacre ordered by the racist fanatic from Brooklyn Bibi Netanyahu. The Iranian retribution against Jewish militarism and brute cruelty is obviously worse than reported in Yiddish news reports. Do Jewish journalists lie? Oy veh, turn the page, goyem! The ferocity of Iranian bombardment of key Israeli Defense Force (IDF) military facilities and core urban zones has proven in spades the incapability of long-term defense for the war-crazed race-bigoted Zionist regime. Another indicator of Israel’s vulnerability is the reluctance of its former allies and friends to become involved by shipping armaments to Israel. As the old saw goes: Live by the sword, die by the sword. The Europeans remain silent offering no comfort or military aid to their former darling Israelis. .

Arab Solidarity crumbles

Left unsaid in this lethal “dialogue” between Trump and the Ayatollas is the near-future role of “neutral” noncombatants including Egypt and Jordan to avenge the brutality and land-confiscation suffered under the once all-powerful Israeli war-machine, which is now suddenly vulnerable on all fronts. The great Jewish warrior aka Donald Trump has miscalculated badly due to inaccurate CIA and Pentagon assessments of Iranian war-making technology and military capabilities - as well as unflinching morale among its battle-hardened troops. The precision long-range rocket technology came as a complete surprise, sending the U.S. Navy in a panicked retreat out of the Persian Gulf. The causes of military failure are writ large as obsolescence, all too conventional strategies and unbridled arrogance. Thus, America’s first-ever Jewish president has badly miscalculated to the serious detriment of his actual homeland - Israel.

It takes no brainy math to figure out the Iranians were preparing to play a game of one-upmanship versus the lame and cowardly oil shiekhs in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Dubai - for their “crime” of being paid-off lackeys of Big Oil and the Rothschild financial interests in control of the global energy sector. (The exceptional holdouts being the independent Russian and Chinese energy sector.) The Jewish financial undercurrent in London and the New York stock markets is no state secret even though the odd accent at the major brokerages is indeed Yiddish. FYI, for a few years prior to 9-11, I worked at a financial magazine in New York City and delivered our well-received journal to the World Trade Center and several major brokerages. That’s even though I had a far greater fondness for Irish ale than for bagels and lox, Disaster, Don, you’ve seen it before.

The Rising Power

The element of surprise is key to combat against powerful foes, and the Iranians have indeed astonished the world, which now prefers to look in the other direction than to come to Israel’s aid. The intel “experts” at the CIA absolutely failed to estimate Iranian missile capabilities and precision accuracy in the destruction of Israeli military capabilities along with the pro-Brit/Yank oil sheikdoms. Nor did the analysts at Langley discern that the Iranian were ready to punish their treacherous, westernized and decadent “Muslim brethren” with a new generation of super-weapons far more precise and effective than anything in the U.S. or NATO arsenals. The underlying message to the rest of the Mideast and Muslim world is that jihad against “Infidels” - aka enemies of God - is an obligation for every believer. Translated into real politic that means “Little Israel” is in deep trouble now. The disparity of birthrates for Jews versus Muslims makes the human toll less costly for large Islamic families that will remember their glory days forever.

Call it fanaticism or moral clarity and manly duty, whatever the narrative, the Near East is in for a harsh cleansing process. The Israelis had their chance to make a half-insincere apology for the Gaza bombing massacre of civilians but Boss Bibi proved himself ready to fight to the bloody end - until his luxury flight carries him back to his actual homeland aka New York City. Unfortunately, the Muslim pals of Brooklyn’s Islamic mayor might give Bibi some of his own medicine upon the homecoming to NYC. It was at a small office in Brooklyn back in the 1970s where I first encountered the local head of the PLO aka the representative of the Palestine Liberation Organization at the U.N. in Manhattan. How quickly time passes from mass expulsions of Palestinians from their homeland to the imminent future of the dissolution of the former State of Israel. Nowadays, the influence of Jews is shrinking faster due to the diminishing birth rate and physical deformities related to inbreeding. The Israeli military is facing insufficient boys due to their growing up as way too many queers. Decadence takes its toll.  

Do not get me wrong: I am not some sort of Jew hater - especially since I once married one of the Chosen. The problem is not Judaism, which is the root stock of Christianity, but instead a noxious superiority complex versus the rest of humanity relegated to the status of filthy goyim. That arrogant attitude just sets the stage for Nazism. The Europeans have lost all and any sympathy for Israelis and therefore for the Jews. Netanyahu brought it upon himself since there’s no Adolf to blame anymore. There is a strong element of Jewish self-hatred in this lethal mix.

The future is all about trust, morals, faith and respect for humanity - and not on moral filth, exclusion, hatred and fear. Given the abject failure in the Persian Gulf for the U.S Navy - which turned tail and fled the Gulf - the fault lays with our closet Jewish president who should make his exit from the Oval Office in a “disappearing act” to make way for uncompromised American leadership for this predominantly Christian yet secular society. I have been a loyal fan of Donald Trump since long before his presidential bid - that’s way back in the ’70s when I’d take guests of the Metropolitan Museum of Art to lunch at his Plaza Hotel. Unfortunately, time and certainly greed for personal recognition have worn away his better side. It is sad to see the old man’s decline, moral disintegration and reversion to the Torah rather than the Bible. New York uptown will never be the same without his class act and probably will revert to a trashy ghetto.

The Path to Peace

Given the non-viability of Israeli resistance throughout the Near East, greater minds much organize a series of conferences to prepare the restoration of the Holy Land of the three major faiths. Failure to arrive at a just settlement will result in another disaster and diaspora of Jews, similar to the exile that the fanatic Zealots caused in their suicidal resistance to Roman law. A tragic outcome like that can happen again with far worse consequences for the survival of Judaism and Jews in an era of rising secularism and atheism. By contrast the majority of Muslims take religion seriously as a life principle.

In contrast to Jewish arrogance, the bridge between Christianity and Islam was the work of the British guerrilla warfare expert T.E. Lawrence “of Arabia”, who despite the technical superiority of his Turkish-and-German foes in World War I, emerged victorious with a ragtag band of camel drovers and farmers. That Muslim-Christian bridge is again the key force for peace and prosperity in the Middle East and restoration of the Holy Land for believers of all faiths - Jews included although they will not be equals at the bargaining table due to their hideous crimes that so resemble the sadism of the Third Reich.

This noble task of bringing humanity together in tolerance and faith is the only viable path to restoring the Holy Land as envisioned during the Crusades. King Richard Lionheart remains a hero of mine despite or perhaps because of his futile struggle against the Islamic warrior Saladin - both noble warrior in service to the Divine. History thus informs us today that compromise, goodwill and generosity to those practitioners of other religions is the sensible way forward for all humanity. The abject failure of the neo-Israel experiment of a stagnant Zionism now opens up the Holy Land to people of genuine faith - being as they are God’s children. When the fanatics end the killing with their own hellish deaths, the greater task of making the Holy Land holy again shall begin in earnest.
