In this outline Promethean Action’s Susan Kokinda summarizes how energy prices are being weaponized to influence the 2026 midterm election. The multinationals, Canada, Europe, NATO and those opposed to America-First sovereignty are waging an economic war against President Trump’s geopolitical and economic reset.
This midweek update argues that the midterm elections are being shaped less by campaign ads than by coordinated economic and political pressure: rising diesel prices tied to Ukrainian strikes on Russian diesel infrastructure, energy pricing set by European exchange traders in London rather than producers, and continued Iran conflict framed as being prolonged to affect the vote.
Kokinda also cites Canada’s trade war and targeted tariffs as politically timed, alongside attacks on U.S. bonds and pressure to raise interest rates, describing “full spectrum economic warfare” against Trump’s agenda. A second front is an accelerated AI panic, beginning with viral warnings from an ex-Anthropic researcher and followed by Anthropic CEO calls for regulation, which Trump and allies call a control-driven “hoax.” The script traces AI-ban lobbying to London-based Control AI, highlights foreign funding networks, and links the push to international oversight and reduced national sovereignty.
Trump is doing enough to sabotage himself and the election, without their doing anything.
I’ve been following these reports for about six months now - so grateful that I found this site.
However, from this particular report, and regarding these particular chess moves by the globalists, I was hoping for some encouragement that team Trump is countering their moves.
I’m very glad the President is aware of what they are doing to sabotage the midterms, but now I’m curious to know what is he going to do about it!
Nonsense.
We just shut down 2 refineries in California, plus several others across the country have closed in the past 5 years, like the Sinclair refinery in Wyoming. The partial reason for high fuel prices is the lack of refinery capacity. Also our domestic crude oil is mostly light, half of the refineries in the US burn heavier crude oil (mostly imports)
Ditto with oil prices…driven by speculators not any lack of supply.
What an amusing comment.
So which party and its candidates will you be voting for in the upcoming election?
I'll start out with "we're voting Republican" because there are currently no other reasonable choices. Now you tell what your upcoming votes will be. Or will you be staying home?
Funny how this type of comment is becoming rampant only in the weeks before the election.
Hopefully he will.
All mail-in “ballots” should be checked for Canadian postmarks.
Now that’s funny. I don’t care who you are, that’s funnier than hell right there. Meme of the Year!!!!

If the current very good economic numbers were under Saint Barack’s regime..they would be beatifying him.
The fuel hike, health care hike, housing and food hikes are due to 5 years of previous Democrat policies.
The price of petroleum products in a particular area is not always tied to geopolitics. As opten as not it is tied to greed and dirty politics. During the supposed arab oil embargo Kerr Magee was running product into trenches and burning it. On the west coast tankers were lined up over the horizon unable to dock and offload as all the onshore storage facilities were full.
On a more recent and local level, interior Alaska used to have two refineries located in North Pole, Alaska. The Mapco/Williams/Flint Hills/ Koch Industries refinery, the largest in Alaska, and the Petro Star refinery owned by the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation. (ASRC) One of the regional native corporations formed under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971 in settlement of aboriginal land claims.
The Flint Hills refinery was closed and demolished over an environmental issue relating to sulfolane in the groundwater, leaving ASRC’s Petro Star refinery as the sole source of jet fuel and heating oil in the interior. With the mandate of ultra low road diesel fuel (ULSD) the only source of diesel fuel for road vehicles became Marathon’s refinery on the Kenai peninsula 800 road miles away.
Since 1999 heating oil in the interior has risen in price over 400%. Heating oil now is refined from royalty in kind crude sold to ASRC’s Petro Star by the Alaska state government. It is then hauled to the Sourdough Fuel’s bulk plant in Fairbanks. Sourdough Fuels is wholly owned by, you guesed it, ASRC. From there it is distributed by Sourdough Fuels and by other fuel haulers.
I guess you can imagine what might happen to price when you have an engineered monopoly.
When Alberta votes to leave the confederation, Canada is over. After Alberta, Saskatchewan and possibly Manitoba will follow. All might become American territories
As a totally separate matter, Quebec might also depart.
Monroe Doctrine applies.
No kinda may be actually right on this and in one way it makes sense.
My skepticism comes from the fact she was a devotee and acolyte of Lyndon LsaRouche. He was more than “ out there” imo
