They don’t announce it. We don’t vote on it. They just turn the dials and watch the numbers fall. Today we follow the pattern nobody wants to say out loud: if energy and food are being quietly throttled, then the question isn’t whether it’s accidental… it’s who decided there are too many of us to keep the machine running.

Stocks and metals rallied sharply this week while crude oil plunged. Surprisingly, gasoline barely budged. A tale of diverging markets amid rising producer prices and recession signals.

Episode #17 of The Wake-Up Call: Foaming the Runway
 PREVIEW
by Chris Martenson

When a plane is coming into an airport and it’s lost its ability to drop or lower its landing gear, emergency teams will foam the runway so that the plane lands and skids into a big pile of foam. That way, if any fires erupt, it’s already pre-foamed and maybe keeps the fire hazard down. So when you’re expecting something bad to happen, you foam the runway.

I’m struck by how control has shifted from physical slavery to a more subtle system of debt, where people trade decades of work to repay money created with just a few clicks. With debt growing exponentially and real-world limits tightening, this system looks increasingly unsustainable. And a veiled power struggle is underway over what replaces it.

Whether or not Trump’s latest gyration of threats will bring Iran to its knees (unlikely, IMO) the fact remains; the oil/LNG and other commodity shocks will be with us for a very long time.
