    Global Energy Shock: Bob Moriarty on Saudi Pipeline Attack, Diesel Crisis & Middle East Escalation
    Bob Moriarty joins Piggo’s Trading Desk to examine the attack on Saudi Arabia’s critical East–West Pipeline, tightening diesel markets, Red Sea disruption, Iran, the Houthis, refinery vulnerabilities

    Piggo’s Trading DeskSep 16, 2026
    What happens when the emergency route designed to bypass one of the world’s most important oil chokepoints is itself attacked?

    Bob Moriarty of 321Gold joins Piggo’s Trading Desk to discuss the escalating Middle East energy crisis following attacks on Saudi Arabia’s East–West Pipeline, a critical route connecting Saudi oil production with the Red Sea.

    The pipeline had become particularly important as disruption around the Strait of Hormuz forced Saudi Arabia to reroute crude west toward Yanbu.

    The conversation examines:

    Saudi Arabia’s East–West Pipeline

    Red Sea oil exports

    Strait of Hormuz disruption

    Houthis and Yemen

    Iran war

    Saudi energy infrastructure

    Crude oil prices

    Diesel shortages

    Refinery bottlenecks

    Global supply chains

    Gallium and defense manufacturing

    China supply dependence

    Gold and hard assets

    Inflation

    Social instability

    Surveillance technology

    Moriarty also discusses diplomacy, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, Ukraine and Russia, while arguing that political leaders face increasing pressure to prevent the energy crisis from expanding into a broader regional confrontation.

    Why critical thinking humans are needed

    MSM repeats whatever it’s told.
    That’s what “Garbage In” means.

    Trump can ban someone from his Office (Oval Office),
    He can ban someone from the Briefing Room
    He can ban for security, conduct, credentialing, space, or procedural reasons.

    “Across the US military and the intelligence community, officials are pushing to weave AI into nearly every facet of their work, from analyzing the huge volumes of raw intelligence the US collects and selecting targets for strikes, to more mundane applications like managing budgeting, logistics and supply chains.”

    Meanwhile, another botched AI job perhaps?…

    NATO 3.0 is the term used by analysts, governments, and NATO officials to describe the new era of the alliance emerging after 2024–2026 — a shift from a U.S.-led, post‑Cold‑War crisis‑response model to a Europe‑led, permanently mobilized, high‑intensity defense posture.
    ———-
    President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced a review of NATO forces in Europe with the expressed intention of drawing down the U.S. footprint. The Pentagon announced a six-month review of US forces in Europe in June, directing US Air Force General Alexus Grynkewich, the head of US European Command, to assess future force requirements.
    ————
    It is not a treaty — it is a strategic shift in posture, budgets, logistics, and burden‑sharing.
    It is a restructuring of responsibilities and capabilities, not a legal rewrite.
    NATO 3.0 is the biggest transformation of the alliance since the Cold War — a shift to permanent readiness, industrial‑scale rearmament, and European leadership in conventional defense.

    “President Trump Signs Russian Sanctions Bill that Grants Him Massive Tariff Authority Over U.S. Imports from Countries Doing Business With Russia.
    The bill requires Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100% within 30 days on all goods imported into the US from the five largest importers of Russian crude oil or gas as well as any country that knowingly made new purchases of oil or gas 30 days after the law was enacted or was among the top five countries helping Russia evade sanctions.

    Congress has just given Trump a golden tariff pen.

    Canada is seeking to join the EU’s €90 billion loan program for Ukraine, a European Commission spokesman said on Friday, in a move that would allow Canadian arms manufacturers to compete for contracts financed by the scheme.

    All we want from Saudi Arabia is for it to stop its aggression, lift the blockade, withdraw from Yemeni territory, and refrain from interfering in our internal affairs. Saudi Arabia can protect its facilities and establish security and stability within them once it withdraws from Yemen.

    Is it so difficult for Saudi Arabia to implement that it resorts to all these failed attempts to stop our attacks?

    Why is Saudi Arabia so insistent on sacrificing all its oil and economic infrastructure instead of withdrawing from Yemen, lifting the blockade, and ceasing its interference in Yemeni affairs?

    ‘According to our intelligence, the criminal United States—seeking to mask its failures and secure hollow achievements in a war initiated through Zionist lies and staged events, and sustained by deception and trickery—has once again decided to resume hostile actions against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

    This move follows a joint meeting in a European country, held with the approval of certain regional states.

    We warn that should the U.S. commit any error against Iran, all its bases and interests in the region will—without any constraints or reservations—become targets of continuous, effective, and painful strikes.

    We further warn that if regional nations, by persisting in their duplicitous policy toward the Islamic Republic of Iran, align themselves with the Great Satan’s aggression against Iran, they will be deemed complicit in this malice.
    Consequently, they can no longer expect any restraint or forbearance from Iran’s Armed Forces.’

    “Ukraine Pounds Major Moscow Refinery As Global Diesel Crisis Threatens Economic Shock

    Ukraine doin’ God’s work here. Killin’ Frenchmen.

    So he is giving Trump a way out, an excuse for why gas is actually high? I’m not sure actually. My impression is that dgaf, it happens, if comets strike it’s the US President’s fault. And obviously the Iran war, which is totally legit. But it’s odd I can pose the question.

    Rubio: Cutting costs by erasing all NATO. WHOOOOO was NATO fighting again, as TAE is been asking for years, since 2014, 2022? WHY do they exist, at all, ever? WHYYYY are you saying we need billions, Russia is our enemy, Germany, but all your oil can gas and commerce go with them? Can’t be both. A: NATO is the EU ARMY. It’s the GLOBALIST OLIGARCH Army. They wanted it for FREEEEEE.

    I mean, who doesn’t? But: No. And you have no Army, so you have no power. “Property Rights” – for Oligarchs same as everyone – are only enforced with MURDER. With raw VIOLENCE. That’s the real world currency: Murder. Always has been. So “Capitalism” with no government is a misnomer, a contradiction, such a thing can never be.

    So thank God the planet’s most successful murderers, Europe, have a very limited army right now as they reach their 80 year locust cycle of blood orgy. And thank God they’re still too arrogant and dumb to realize and build weapons factories. I can’t comprehend that level of glue-munching, but thank God.

    Greenland is the same story in a few ways. We don’t think of this but high-level Military planners do. WE are surrounded by a toxic Mexico and Canada, relentlessly positioned or destabilized. Mexico is well understood now: all CIA/MI6 Globalist drug cartels, not organic at all. But Canada is not yet, equal Fentanyl source. We were surrounded, and Europe can “take” Greenland and foothold here. Right now they’re idiotically weak, but in game terms.

    If we take Greenland by contrast CANADA is surrounded. We are not surrounded by “Europe” “Pan-Europe” is surrounded by US. So as the predictable move of Europe taking and activating Canada to be ruined on us, they’re surrounded and stopped before they even start. Alaska, “54’40 or Bust”, and Greenland mean Canada is completely surrounded on all sides. And We’re taking the middle in two seconds, Alberta, like the Donbas, the money-center, the only workers, and cutting British North America – Europe, as Carney says – in half. Now with Manitoba and Saskatchewan, two tiny states the size of France remain but with no economy, the power of Denmark. — I mean, Bessant just pointed out that TEXAS is larger GDP than ALL Canada. What the ever-heck are you doing there, boys? How is that possible? Take out Alberta, the only profit center Ottawa is robbing, the public dole Maritimes, and what’s left? Quebec, which has Noooooooo interest in the plan. B.C. is a socialist hole and Chinese colony, Ontario CAN be very hard working, effective, all that … but have been Liberal- nuts and a net taker for 20 years. Stop.

    Anyway, that’s “Greenland”, that’s what taking Greenland means. And also Europe didn’t press it (yet). They flat conceded, knowing as well as we do what that means.

    So anyone want to return to all the mockery on Trump/Greenland and apologize now? He does this like 99% of the time, you know. This is how he proposes and floats things so you’ll think and talk about them. But “Everyone Loses Their Minds!!!!”…because they are The Joker. Psychotic and can’t just hear normal words. They’re just normal words. Be Normal.

    “in New York real estate, the purpose is to sign the best possible deal.”

    Yes, but we/they all miss this. A “Deal” is VOLUNTARY. Both sides have to sign, agree, and GET something. Politics, like the EU is NOT like this: They just say and start arresting 36,000 twitter posters who get mouthy. VIOLENCE. That’s their Progressive Tolerance. That’s Government.

    “Almost immediately, a media consensus emerged: Yawn. This is no big deal — it’s the same as before. And since Greenland isn’t “officially” part of America, Trump lost the negotiations.

    “It doesn’t mean anything.” That’s why they all lost their minds about how much it meant only 3 months ago. Got it.

    The same way Canada has been tamped down, held back for 20 years is the same as Denmark does forever. It’s how Globalist, Colonialists act. No steel mills, no wool mills for the Colonies. Ship cheap raw to King George who takes the gateway, the profit, and returns high value finished goods. That’s what “Colony” means. Gateway. Tollbooth. Rentier. So Greenland can get oil, build towns, own Teslas, whatever it is they want if they were allowed to work, make, and do stuff. So I wonder what that will be. Canada’s only clamped for 25 years, Greenland for 100? And they tried everything God ever invented to hold America back, but we’re not very cooperative: every energy, mine, power plant, and arcane auto regulation comes to mind. We kept innovating and inventing our way out of it. Europe likewise is the world’s top producer and exporter of regulations. They have also crushed all Europe for 25 years, stalling it completely.

    What will Greenland do if not imprisoned like this? Could be Scifi. Planet Hoth. Geothermal garden domes. Could be they want to remain a national park. Not my decision, it’s theirs. But the world is open now.

    “Politico (The recipients of an illegal and ridiculous $8 Million Dollar subscription, an All Time Record, under Crooked Joe Biden, in order to keep them ‘alive,’”

    I was only looking at face value, but What do they Write now? They are not in the White House. They have no access, stories to write about. What will they publish? Cat stories? 3rd hand reports? This is how Trump has been saying for 10 years He’s the only thing that’s kept them from Bankruptcy. True. But that wasn’t his fault: it’s been theirs.

    “CNN also insisted Joe Biden was “sharp as a tack” long after his decline was obvious to anyone paying attention, and in 2024, it gave Kamala Harris cover by claiming she’d never actually served as the administration’s border czar.” Among thousands. They make up some new falsehood daily.

    ““President Trump Signs Russian Sanctions Bill that Grants Him Massive Tariff Authority Over U.S. Imports from Countries Doing Business With Russia “

    They hate Trump who is Hitler, that’s why they keep giving him more power. Remember Democrats all gave Trump like $60 Billion MORE than he wanted for Intel Agencies and war? …As one does, when you are sure Hitler is in charge. Thanks, Democrats. (Same with Never-Trump GOP which is most of them then, but the point is better made with the other party)

    Why? 1) They never believed it at all, obviously. Only morons do. 2) They wanted to fund Intel harder to commit more treason and remove him, as demonstrated daily as exactly those records come out. 3) Congress likes treason and will never work for the People 4) He knew all this. We all did. Then they pretend “Trump is Hitler” thing is at all real for 8 more years. What will it take? How many years?

    “ Princeton Faculty Reach Perfect Zero in Support for Republicans (Turley)
    “the same absurd rationalization that was once used to justify not hiring minorities or women.”

    Widespread ethnic cleansing. Side of the Angels. They get hard-body, steel on steel, by never meeting an differing viewpoint from birth to death, then getting terrified like children, melting down and trying to kill it when they meet one. …As what qualifies as “a differing viewpoint” falls in on itself to a single point like a collapsing star. To like or dislike a certain actress is a purging offense now, years back.

    “• Von der Leyen Sends Zelensky €3.3bn After Phone Call (RT)

    Obviously the best salesman in the world, way better than Trump. …Of course what he’s selling is $3B of the $3.3B shows up in Ursula’s private offshore account, so…

    Musk Stories: We’re all going to die, aren’t we? But they had flashy ads about it, so it’s all good now.

    “Yemen’s Missiles BURN Riyadh! Iran’s LONG WAR Destroys Petrodollar | Mohammad Marandi

    Bombs are fires, yes. Very good, child. Amazing progress we’re making. The US dollar is stronger than ever, with a better economy and better bond sales than in decades. Exactly what “Destroy” means. Iran’s currency is in 1,000s percent inflation a year. #Winning.

    In addition, hard to discuss – all plumbing not yet lit – but Bessant/Powell’s stablecoins are ANOTHER $10 Trillion market for U.S. Bonds opening. Okay, yes in general, they replace the general reserve assets. BUT, another side: as just coins on a phone, all Africa for instance can own US Treasuries. As US Dollars, as world currency. $40T debt is now nothing for us, we can double it when this is engaged.

    …It may be because you generally flip a currency reset with inflation. That’s how and why the old system ends and the new one begins, because without incentive no one moves.

    Marnadi: The U.S. is going to Bomb Iran with something.” Yes. Yes they are. Genius, thanks.

    “Can the U.S. Keep Fighting in Iran?”

    1) Yes, but why? We’ve already won. Hundreds of ships transit, and what was the number, a billion barrels, while Iran exports none?

    2) We haven’t used any of our army, and skipped most of our new tech, hinting at it.
    ….a) Space lasers (or some other, from Space Force)
    ….b) Today hinted we were reckless with the Reaper drones as we have a far better drone behind it, which is only logical considering they are 30 years old.
    ….c) Got to see the sea drones, so there’s no reason for surface ships
    ….d) Almost certainly have laser defense stations, on ship and shore, replacing Patriots, etc.
    ….e) And in other theaters, we know we have the sound combobulator we used on Caracas.

    We’re removing from the Old World, so we are removing from those bases and need them blown up, this is public policy document. a) No men were officially hurt when Iran blew up 20 bases. b) We know that in many cases they had already gone from the bases to hotels. Explain.

    Pointing up the takeaway: That supports that yes we only used 10% of our military in Iran. So you’re asking if we can use the other 90% still, while Iran has no air defense and is not even shooting back? Why yes, I would think so. We could by that math, keep up the original attacks for 10 more years, or this level of attacks for 50 more years. Math. We also haven’t actually been trying, obviously. We’re not mobilized and barely increased our defense production.

    This all depends on WILL. That was Communism’s, — the CCP’s — only plan in pre-Vietnam, you can look this up, it’s famous. That they can’t defeat us. So they have to make us feel sad and surrender voluntarily. This is your job, constantly spreading demoralizing but also invariably wrong material. So thanks for helping. When you’re on the Side of Iran and China, and billionaire Colonialists in Europe, surely that is the right side.

    I’m not going to vouch for this, but here’s China: Youtube.com/watch?v=XtDc-REmdgU

    China was the last nation on earth slaving people, as in 1910, 1940, you see it still in movies and books then. But did they stop? We see slaves in garment industry, (1960s) and industrial (sex) slaves or worse in Chinese containers shipped worldwide now. By the hundred thousands. These are the people you’re reflexively supporting in a lust to hate America. And we criticize America together, because that’s how you improve. But to this, really? You’re willing to be openly pro-slavery for it? Pro-Million Fentanyl deaths, pro ending-all-democracy at the vote? And likewise turn over sovereignty of your own nation to them so you can score one on us? Personally, I would reconsider.
