I find it interesting that it's only being covered by local news stations across the nation, and yet I'm not seeing much coverage of it on national news outlets. Questions: Why now? How much does this have to do with the "PetroYuan"? How are gas prices rising when US output is very high currently? What about the FED raising interest rates? Do these events have anything to do with a possible trade war with China? Are all of these a "coordinated effort" to force the US back into the global agenda?

This is my first post here..I'll be doing some follow up posts with some more in-depth analysis about the possible ramifications and motives behind these events soon. For now, I'm just putting it out there to be mulled over. Thanks for the site, I'm making it my primary posting site.
