As Senator Kennedy said, it’s the Gucci loafer wearing, caramel cappuccino drinking oil traders that up the price in order to make a profit before the actual price of oil is realized. Or, something like that… Same goes for the prices at the grocery store, corporate entities maximizing profits until that profiteering is ended.

Trump landing in Florida ahead of the Shield of the Americas Summit signals the end of the quiet phase… what happens in Doral is not another diplomatic photo opportunity…
It is the final warning meeting before the United States begins stepping directly into the narco-terror infrastructure that has destabilized the hemisphere for decades…
For years the cartel economy operated as a parallel system of power across Latin America… drug trafficking evolved into a multinational industry protected by political figures, financial networks, and territorial control…
Entire regions became dependent on that shadow economy… Trump is now treating those networks as narco-terrorist organizations, which moves the fight out of traditional law enforcement and into the national security arena…
When these leaders sit down with him, the message will be blunt…
First, territory must be reclaimed… regions effectively governed by cartels cannot exist if governments expect partnership with the United States… intelligence, surveillance, and operational support will be offered – passive tolerance of cartel rule will not…
Second, the money stops moving… cartels survive through banks, shell companies, trade manipulation, and laundering pipelines that push billions through the financial system…
Cooperation on financial intelligence and enforcement becomes mandatory… countries that shut down those networks will find themselves aligned with US economic and security support -countries that protect them will meet sanctions pressure and isolation…
Third, the logistics networks are being locked down… ports, cargo routes, private airstrips, and shipping corridors that move narcotics are now part of a regional security map… SOUTHCOM isn’t there just for drug boats…
Inspection regimes, surveillance systems, and intelligence integration have tightened across the hemisphere… nations that integrate remain inside trusted trade corridors, and nations that refuse will watch those corridors move around them…
Fourth, migration corridors tied to cartel smuggling operations are ending… human trafficking and narcotics pipelines run through the same infrastructure… border enforcement cooperation now sits inside the same security framework targeting cartel logistics…
Underneath the policy language sits the real message… governments across the Americas are being asked one simple question… are you dismantling the narco networks inside your borders, or protecting them?
The summit forces that answer into the open, where alignment will be visible… and so will any resistance…
Once those lines are drawn, the next phase begins…
The narco economy has operated in the shadows for decades, in Doral, Trump is telling the hemisphere the shadows are about to disappear…

March 6 – Florida
A major regional security conversation is underway.
President Trump prepared for oil inflation, so why in the world did gas prices go up? One word: bankers.
The banks and Wall Street are the reason gas prices are going up.

Gas prices raised gives fodder to the fools, who continue to blame Trump for them, and really have no clue about the truth, nor do they really care. They just look for anything they can pin on him, and fail to remember how they were sky high at times under other admins. Heck when they get constipated they scream Trump did this.
