Gilbert Mercier, Editor in Chief of News Junkie Post and the author of "The Orwellian Empire," spoke with Misfit hosts Bob Schlehuber and Jamarl Thomas to demystify the crash in oil prices and oil’s influence on geopolitics. This is what you get when you’re a slave to supply and demand, Mercier points out - and also what you get when you’ve supported Saudi Arabia’s use of oil as a cudgel for decades. The West handed Riyadh a loaded weapon. Now they’re using it. He also explained the root causes of the ongoing riots in France, and how global supply chain failures manifest themselves in poor Parisian suburbs.
