I’ve seen several people suggest that Exxon is sabotaging the midterms by shutting down its refinery before the midterms, in an attempt to hurt republicans. That’s a knee jerk reaction. I actually think something much bigger is happening with this shutdown (likely temporary) and Trump isn’t worried about the midterms because they’re ALREADY safe in my opinion. What’s the bigger possibility that nobody is talking about? Step back and look at the bigger picture. Trump has just taken away the cabal’s oil choke point in the Middle East and now he controls the oil supply in the Strait of Hormuz. Then Trump made a massive deal with Venezuela, who sit on the largest oil reserves in the world. Trump effectively controls the vast majority of the world’s oil supply now. And here’s the KEY to that Exxon refinery shutdown: Where does that Exxon refinery get its oil? Answer: Canada Guess what happens to the Canadian economy, the longer this refinery stays shut down? Here’s what I believe is happening. Carney is a puppet of the EU and Trump is going to force him to capitulate on a trade deal and lower their tariffs. And it’s more than just forcing Carney to capitulate. Canada supplies about 61% of oil imports to the U.S. Mostly through Exxon. Why? Exxon owns 69.6% of Imperial Oil, which is Canada’s biggest refinery company. Exxon dominates the Canadian oil import market in the U.S. But things are changing quickly. Guess where Chevron dominates? Venezuela and the Gulf of America. Venezuela is now the second largest oil importer into the U.S. And growing. The new Trump deal is helping Chevron and Valero to increase oil production AND refinery capacity, both in America and Venezuela. Trump is “replacing” Canada’s oil “leverage” in these trade talks with Venezuela’s oil. Trump is squeezing the Canadian economy and there’s nothing the EU can do to stop it. Their puppet is helpless. Trump is going to get a “great” trade deal with Canada and at the same time, Trump is creating “competition” for Canadian oil imports in the future. Competition is what destroys centralized control and also prevents it again in the future. Trump is “opening” up the oil supplies that were suppressed and controlled by the cabal and taking control, so that the American people benefit and so does the world. Europe is no longer in control of anything.
NEW - An unknown power outage forced Exxon Mobil to shut down its Joliet, Illinois refinery, pulling 11 million gallons of daily fuel production offline as U.S. diesel climbs past $6 a gallon.
