Trump's Self-Dealing, Oil Market Manipulation, and Southern Baptist Predation
The article examines systemic corruption and self-dealing in the Trump administration, focusing on a pattern of fake ceasefire announcements that manipulate oil markets. On May 6, 2026, Axios reported a US-Iran deal, causing Brent crude to drop 10% to $98 and WTI 12% to $89. Whistleblowers allege Axios coordinated with market insiders, leaking CME order information before the report. Iranian analyst Mohammad Marandi claims Trump, Witkoff, Kushner, and associates profited from short positions. The article also covers Trump's children negotiating a luxury hotel with Syrian billionaires lobbying to lift sanctions, as reported by The New York Times. It highlights the influence of former Bush speechwriter Marc Thiessen on Trump's foreign policy, and the role of Fox News figures like Mark Levin. The piece details the sexual abuse allegations against Paul Pressler, a key figure in the Southern Baptist Convention, who helped align evangelicals with the GOP. It references Dr. Aaron Good's theory of a 'nazified' criminal cabal ruling America, and the Hondurasgate scandal involving Argentine President Milei and Honduran ex-president Juan Orlando Hernández. Finally, it notes Jordan Peterson's neurological injury from benzodiazepine withdrawal, causing tardive akathisia.
