Like every other war, the US-Israel war with Iran is a bankers' war (
https://controlplanecapital.com/p/the-us-israel-war-with-… ).
What has become more obvious now than ever is how our overlord bankers use the price of oil as a hidden tax dial for mass control.
Oil is not just a commodity, it's the broadest fastest, least-voted-on tax lever in the system.
It is uniquely useful because it sits upstream of almost everything:
- transport,
- agriculture,
- mining,
- chemicals,
- plastics,
- shipping,
- aviation,
- diesel backup power,
- military logistics,
- construction,
- emergency response,
- food distribution.
So when oil rises, the public does not experience it as "oil rose".
We experience it as:
- fuel rose,
- food rose,
- freight rose,
- airline tickets rose,
- packaging rose,
- fertilizer rose,
- heating and backup-power costs rose,
- then everything else rose with a lag.
That makes oil completely different from other commodities (e.g. copper, lumber).
Oil is a tax dial because it:
- reaches everyone,
- hits quickly,
- is hard to avoid,
- is regressive,
- and gets blamed on "markets", "wars", "greed", or "unexpected events" instead of on a direct policy choice.
If you are trying to extract purchasing power from a population without openly voting for a tax increase, oil is almost ideal.
The beauty of oil for the Controllers is that it behaves like a tax that:
- does not need parliamentary approval,
- does not show up on a clean line item,
- can be blamed on foreigners, cartels, speculators, weather, pipelines, war, or "global supply-demand",
- and can be selectively reversed when politically necessary.
Oil lets the Controllers do four things at once:
1. Extract disposable income
- households spend more on essentials,
- less remains for discretionary consumption,
- private-sector demand cools without an explicit austerity vote.
2. Discipline labor
- people under energy/food stress become more job-dependent,
- strike appetite falls,
- mobility falls,
- tolerance for shitty real wages rises because survival takes priority over bargaining.
3. Reprice assets
- high oil feeds inflation,
- inflation feeds rate pressure,
- higher rates hit duration and leverage,
- the sacrifice layer gets squeezed.
(We are in the discipline <by default> period - midterm year)
4. Reallocate wealth upward and outward
- from consumers to producers,
- from importers to exporters,
- from weak countries to hard-currency/commodity powers,
- from households to states and systemically important firms.
So oil is more than an "inflation input". It is a transfer mechanism.
Oil is one of the most efficient system-wide coercion levers because it hits:
- households,
- firms,
- currencies,
- rates,
- and sovereign stability
all at once.
The Controllers use it to:
- extract purchasing power invisibly,
- discipline labor and weaker states,
- create inflation justification,
- trigger asset repricing,
- consolidate ownership,
- and preserve optionality for the eventual patch/reset.
To be clear, I'm not saying they perfectly control every print. They do it through:
- shipping and insurance friction,
- underinvestment,
- producer coordination,
- sanctions and waivers,
- reserve releases/refills,
- refinery/product bottlenecks,
- futures/plumbing influence,
- and dollar-liquidity interaction.
