🔻 Oil prices have collapsed 36% from their May peak. Crude is dirt cheap right now. But when you pull up to the pump? The prices are STILL through the roof. Exxon Mobil and Chevron are laughing all the way to the bank while Americans get absolutely fleeced. Trump just ordered the DOJ to investigate. He's calling it what it is: PRICE GOUGING. But here's what the mainstream media won't tell you about what's really happening behind closed doors at Big Oil headquarters. I have been told by contacts inside the Trump administration that this goes much deeper than simple corporate greed. The oil companies have been coordinating with each other for YEARS. They've established an informal cartel. They communicate through back channels. They coordinate pricing strategies. They deliberately keep pump prices artificially high while wholesale prices plummet. On June 24, 2026, at 02:30 AM, Trump's economic team received classified briefings on the oil industry's manipulation scheme. What they discovered was shocking. The major oil companies have been using a sophisticated algorithm to track each other's pricing in real-time. They adjust their prices to maintain maximum profit margins while making it look like market forces are at work. OPERATION ENERGY CONTROL. That's what it's called inside the intelligence community. For over a decade, the oil companies have been running this operation with impunity. They spent nearly $100 million to get Trump elected, thinking he would protect them. They were wrong. Trump doesn't answer to Big Oil. He answers to the American people. The coordination goes beyond pricing. These companies have been lobbying Congress to block renewable energy initiatives. They've been funding disinformation campaigns about climate science. They've been suppressing alternative fuel technologies that could threaten their monopoly. All while Americans pay $4, $5, sometimes $6 per gallon at the pump. But the Trump administration has the receipts. Email chains. Phone records. Financial transfers between the oil companies. The DOJ investigation will expose everything. Executives will be arrested. Companies will face massive fines. The cartel will be dismantled. Exxon Mobil and Chevron think they're untouchable. They think their lobbying power will protect them. They're about to learn that Trump administration doesn't negotiate with corporate criminals. The declassifications are coming. The arrests are coming. The justice is coming. Watch the DOJ investigation. Watch the indictments. Watch the oil executives do the perp walk. The American people are about to get their revenge.

Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more. Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged. Here's what happened: Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy in real time. The second a competitor listed a product cheaper than Amazon, they'd contact the brand directly and tell them to "fix it." And the exact emails are now PUBLIC. Amazon sent Levi's links to two Walmart listings with the subject line "styles of concern." They basically said the prices on Walmart are too low and we have a problem. The next day, Levi's responded: "I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to ladder SPP price, $29.99 immediately." Levi's literally called Walmart and told them to raise the price. Because Amazon told Levi's to make the call. Walmart complied. Then Amazon matched the HIGHER price. Both retailers ended up charging more. The customer paid extra. Nobody competed. Same playbook with Hanes: Amazon sent them links showing Target and Walmart prices were lower. Hanes confirmed they "reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased." Target increased the prices. Walmart increased the prices. Amazon kept their margins. But it gets even worse... Amazon told Allergan (the company that makes eye drops) that their product was "suppressed" on Amazon because it was cheaper on another site. Allergan responded: "Walmart got their price back up to $16.99." Amazon then unsuppressed the listing. They did this with pet treats on Chewy. Furniture on Home Depot. Products across dozens of categories spanning YEARS. The mechanism is simple but terrifying: If you're a brand and you sell cheaper on Walmart than on Amazon, Amazon suppresses your product, removes you from the Buy Box, buries you in search results, and effectively makes you invisible to 300 million customers. Brands can't afford that. So they call Walmart and Target and say "raise your prices or we'll lose our Amazon listings." Walmart and Target comply because they need the brand's products. Amazon captures 40 cents of every dollar spent online in America. That gives them the leverage to set prices across THE ENTIRE internet. Not just their own platform. So turns out, you were never comparison shopping. You were looking at a coordinated price floor set by Amazon through backroom phone calls between brands and their competitors. "Amazon is working to make your life more unaffordable." 3 separate antitrust trials are now scheduled for 2027. The FTC has its own case. 18 states plus the DOJ are piling on. This is literally happening during the WORST affordability crisis in a generation. Groceries up 25% since 2020. Housing unaffordable. Wages flat. And the largest ecommerce company on Earth has been secretly coordinating with brands to make sure you can't find a cheaper price ANYWHERE. "Competition" in retail is just a fantasy.
