How the US Pulled off an Armed Robbery of the World’s Energy Supply and Created the Petrogas-Dollar

1 May 2026 – A forensic investigation into how Washington leveraged the war in Iran to replace Nord Stream, save the dollar, and establish total command over the world’s fuel from the Arctic to the Indian Ocean.
It’s tempting to believe that the US war machine is finished. Militarily, Iran have indeed dealt the US their worst humiliation in modern history — one I covered in clinical detail.
But in the background, Washington have been quietly carrying out an armed robbery of the world’s oil and gas supply. All of it.
This investigation is featured in the documentary film “Birth of the Petrogas-Dollar and the Pirate State” by journalist Richard Medhurst.
In just 90 days, the US have executed an energy blitzkrieg decades in the making:
- Hundreds of strikes on Russian tankers and refineries
- Disrupting a third of China’s oil and LNG supply
- Capturing the largest oil reserves on the planet
- Establishing a global naval blockade from the Arctic to the Indian Ocean
And in the process, kidnapped and assassinated two heads of state. We are witnessing the transition of the United States from an empire into a lawless Pirate State, and the birth of what I call the Petrogas-dollar or LNG-Dollar.
The timeline of this campaign speaks for itself:
