President Donald Trump’s recent military strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, have thrust the United States into a precarious geopolitical quagmire. 

While Trump’s supporters cheer his bold stance against Iran’s nuclear ambitions, a sinister globalist playbook—reminiscent of the failures of Jimmy Carter and Joe Biden—looms large. 

If Iran retaliates by closing the Strait of Hormuz, the resulting economic shock could trigger stagflation, tarnish Trump’s legacy, and alienate his MAGA base, casting him as the next George W. Bush. 

Worse, this crisis could provide cover for orchestrated cyberattacks, potentially led by globalist figures like Klaus Schwab, to justify sweeping continuity of government measures and advance a broader anti-human agenda.

Strait of Hormuz: A Global Economic Chokepoint

The Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway connecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman, is the world’s most critical oil chokepoint. Approximately 20% of global oil supply—around 20 million barrels per day—passes through this 21-mile-wide passage. Iran, facing U.S. and Israeli military pressure, has repeatedly threatened to close the Strait in retaliation. 

Esmail Kosari, head of Iran’s parliamentary defense committee, recently confirmed this option is under “serious consideration.”

Hossein Shariatmadari, a prominent adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, even called for missile strikes on U.S. naval assets and a simultaneous closure of the Strait.

If Iran follows through, the impact would be catastrophic.

Energy expert Dr. Mamdouh G. Salameh has warned that a closure could drive oil prices to at least $130 per barrel. 

Posts on X echo this alarm, with users like Elijah J. Magnier noting that a shutdown would make the Strait impassable, compounding disruptions in the Red Sea and triggering a global energy crisis. A siginificant spike in oil prices would ripple through global markets, inflating costs for fuel, transportation, and goods.

Stagflation: A Ghost from the Carter-Biden Era

The 1970s under Jimmy Carter saw stagflation—a toxic mix of stagnant economic growth, high inflation, and rising unemployment—partly fueled by the 1973-74 OPEC oil embargo and the 1979 Iranian Revolution, which slashed global oil supplies.

Joe Biden’s presidency echoed this, with inflation hitting 9.1% in 2022 amid supply chain disruptions and energy price surges post-Russia-Ukraine conflict.

A Strait of Hormuz closure would recreate Carter conditions on steroids.

Rising oil prices would inflate costs across industries, from manufacturing to agriculture, driving up consumer prices. Unlike the 1970s, today’s U.S. economy is already strained by $34 trillion in national debt and lingering supply chain vulnerabilities. 

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, slammed by Trump as “numbskull” for not cutting rates, would face a dilemma: raise rates to curb inflation and risk recession, or keep rates low, fueling further price spirals. Stagflation would erode Trump’s economic achievements, like tax cuts and deregulation, which his base credits for pre-2020 prosperity.

The political fallout would be brutal. Ljubo Bani warned in an X post that a Strait closure would “completely undermine Trump’s economic agenda,” recalling Carter’s impotence during the 1979 oil crisis. Trump’s promise of cheap energy and jobs could evaporate, leaving him historically branded alongside Carter and Biden as a leader who presided over economic collapse.

Iran’s Cyber Retaliation: A Globalist Trojan Horse

Beyond physical retaliation, Iran has robust cyber capabilities. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has warned of potential Iranian cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure, from power grids to financial systems. 

Iran’s 2012 Shamoon attack on Saudi Aramco and 2020 disruptions of U.S. municipal systems demonstrate its prowess. A U.S. strike could prompt Iran to unleash digital chaos, crippling utilities or banking networks.

This mayhem could provide cover for globalist agendas. Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF), has long hyped a “cyber pandemic” as a catalyst for global reset. In his 2020 book COVID-19: The Great Reset, Schwab argued that a major cyberattack could dwarf the economic impact of the pandemic, justifying centralized control. 

A staged or amplified cyberattack—blamed on Iran but orchestrated by globalist insiders—could disrupt U.S. infrastructure, sowing panic and enabling emergency measures. InfoWars has warned that such crises align with WEF plans to erode national sovereignty.

Continuity of Government: The Globalist Endgame

A severe cyberattack or stagflation crisis could trigger Continuity of Government (COG) protocols, designed to ensure government function during existential threats. COG, expanded post-9/11, grants sweeping executive powers, including martial law, suspension of elections, and control over communications. 

InfoWars guest and Russia expert Daniel Estulin has claimed that globalists seek to exploit such crises to impose a “transhumanist one-world government.”

A Hormuz-induced economic collapse, coupled with cyberattacks, would create the perfect storm. Public desperation could justify COG activation, allowing unelected bureaucrats and globalist-aligned officials to sideline Trump’s agenda.

Alex Jones has suggested this is part of a broader plan to “trap” Trump and force him into conflicts that discredit his America First platform. 

The WEF’s 2021 Cyber Polygon exercise, simulating a global cyberattack, eerily mirrors this scenario, raising suspicions of premeditated globalist orchestration.

Alienating MAGA: Trump as Bush 2.0

Trump’s strikes have already sparked dissent within his MAGA base, which rallied behind his anti-interventionist stance. His 2016 debate takedown of Jeb Bush—“The war in Iraq was a big fat mistake”—cemented his rejection of neoconservative wars. 

Yet, his Iran escalation risks transforming him into the very figure he despised: George W. Bush, whose Iraq War drained American blood and treasure.

MAGA influencers like Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson warn that striking Iran betrays “America First.”

Bannon, on his War Room podcast, argued that regime change must come from Iranians, not U.S. bombs, lest it mire America in another protracted conflict. 

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a MAGA stalwart, echoed Carlson, decrying foreign wars as putting “America last.”

X user Badger360 cautioned that a Strait closure would “reduce [Trump’s] presidency to W Bush 2.0,” erasing economic gains.

Trump’s base, rooted in heartland communities scarred by post-9/11 wars, may not forgive this pivot. 

His use of 30,000-pound “bunker buster” bombs to attack Fordow while hawkish allies like Senator Lindsey Graham cheer, alienates America First patriots who see no U.S. interest in Middle East entanglements. 

If stagflation hits, MAGA voters could abandon him, fracturing the coalition that secured his 2024 landslide, possibly costing Republicans congress and the White House in 2028. 

Conclusion: A Globalist Trap?

Trump’s Iran gambit risks a Carter-Biden-esque humiliation. A Strait of Hormuz closure would unleash stagflation, gutting his economic legacy. 

Iran’s cyberattacks could amplify the chaos, providing cover for Schwab’s predicted “cyber pandemic” and triggering COG measures that expand globalist control. 

By alienating his MAGA base, Trump risks a Bush-like fall from grace, handing ammunition to those who wish to see his America First movement crushed.

As Infowars has long warned, the globalists thrive on manufactured crises. Trump must tread carefully, lest he becomes an unwitting pawn in their playbook, remembered not as a populist hero but as another president who fell to the war drums of the New World Order.
