War Tax Report 09/05/2026

The war tax has gone up again, by about 15 cents for gas – but it’s the war tax on diesel that’s going ballistic. As of Sept. 5, a gallon of diesel hit a new record-high of $5.85, exceeding the previous record high of $5.81 that was set back in 2022.

One of the interesting things about this is “Joe Biden” was the sock-puppet-in-chief back then. It is interesting because apologists for “Donald Trump” are now having to explain to the goyim why it is higher now than it was then. Of course, they say it is all “Joe Biden’s” fault. Not because Trump decided to start a war with Iran that resulted in about 20 percent of the world’s oil supply being choked off.

What will the new record-high prices be? We’ll know by next week, if not sooner.

A more pertinent question is – how high can it go?

The answer is interesting because it is simple: It will go as high as most people can afford to pay. Once it crosses that threshold – and reaches a point people can no longer pay – then it will necessarily come down. But not to where it was before. The New Normal price of gas and diesel in this country will become congruent with the price of gas and diesel in Western Europe, where it is around $8 per gallon equivalent.

If you want to understand what the consequences of that will be – for Americans – have a look at what life is like for the average person in Western Europe. He drives a small car – if he has a car at all. He lives in a small apartment. He does not own a truck or SUV and he probably does not own a single family home. Effectively, most average Western Europeans already live in a 15 Minute City because they cannot afford to live outside the radius of one. There is not much of a “middle class” in Europe anymore – at least not by what used to be American standards. There is a proletariat – and an small “elite” that can easily afford $8 gas (and more expensive diesel) as well a country place and a Range Rover to go along with it.

That is what the people behind this war have in mind for us. It is what the war has always been about – alongside the congruent interests of making Tel Aviv the new welthaupstadt. This latter brings up another fascinating congruence, which is the mimicking of the state of Israel of the state of National Socialist Germany.

Where to begin?

Israel is, first of all, a socialist state. It is also a virulently nationalist state. Put the two together and you have – look at that! – national socialism! It is also a volksgemeinshaft state; that is a state that regards itself as a people’s community consisting of a very specific community. Those who are not members of this community are regarded with contempt as a foreign element and treated accordingly. They are forcibly dispossessed of their property and placed in ghettos. The National Socialist Germans talked up the Greater German Reich. The National Socialist Israelis talk of Greater Israel – from the Nile to the Euphrates! The stunning difference between the German National Socialists and the Israeli National Socialists is that the Germans didn’t have the wheedling effrontery to even try to get other nations to fight their wars. Also, Germany – at the time – was a great nation. Israel is a tiny one and yet it somehow controls great nations. It is a remarkable thing.

Thanks to this nation, it now costs about $60 to fill up a typical medium-small crossover with 15 gallons of regular unleaded. If you happen to be driving something like the diesel-powered Ford F250 I recently review (here, if interested) that has a 34 gallon tank, your road trip this Labor Day’s gonna cost you about $200.

That’s just for an F250.

You can imagine – perhaps you don’t want to – what it currently costs to fill up a Freightliner or Volvo big rig’s tanks. You won’t have to imagine.

You’ll find out, soon enough.
