SUPPLY CHAIN COLLAPSE! – A Globalist Agenda – From The Climate HOAX To Civil Unrest!

Josh Sigurdson reports on the long-thought-out modus operandi of the establishment as the supply chain collapses and the globalists come in with their "replacement." Technocracy.

As central bank digital currencies around the world are readied and attached to social credit and carbon credit systems, magically, the world is being hit by all of the crises that would lead to such tyranny as a so-called solution.

This is a planned collapse. The hope of the state is dependency and with that compliance to a new level of tyranny, the likes of which we've never seen before.

In this video, we talk about the planned collapse of the supply chain, the false flag blackouts, food and power rationing, and more.

If you peasants can be convinced to settle for less, that would sure be convenient for our garbage ruling caste since it has proven itself utterly incapable of even marginal performance in achieving merely the bare minimum standards of its job. Do you have security? How about prosperity? Does the future look bright?

No. 

No, everything is much, much worse now than it was just a few years ago, and you are insane, stupid, and/or an insurrectionist for merely noticing, much less saying so. It's all a conspiracy theory, the "conspiracy" is seeing and talking about what everyone sees is happening right in front of us.

Lower Your Expectations, Serfs

You are asking for too much, you terrible person. You want cheap gas and a functioning supply chain, air conditioning and not to eat bugs. But most of all, you expect the elite to actually do its job, and for that, you are terrible. And racist. 

Bums litter our streets figuratively and – in ghastly form – literally. Criminals run rampant unmolested by the gendarmes, who have been told – expressly and impliedly – to let the crooks be. Our economy is sensational, groovy, glorious – except for the inflation and the hollowing out of your 401K. Try to buy a house instead of renting – just try. 

The globalist elite has failed in doing what we want, but it seems to be doing what it wants. It is gathering power and payoffs unto itself, and that is precisely the goal. If we are worrying about feeding our families – and they control the food – then we are less likely to get uppity and demand that our elite not suck. 

The problem for them is that, at least in America, we still have some power to change things without conflict. But elsewhere, where the path to peaceful change is blocked by undemocratic regimes, it's getting ugly. In Sri Lanka, where the government decided to ban fertilizer because some Davos nimrods wished to appease an angry weather goddess, they rebelled. In Holland, the Dutch farmers are rebelling in order to save their farms from a similar fate. But in Canada, the truckers rebelled, and they were crushed. Now, Trudeaussolini is trying the same fertilizer scam. Who had "Famine in Manitoba" on his 2022 bingo card? 

And here in America, they tried to ban modern guns. I wonder why. 

The real defining election issue for the next couple of decades is going to be whether we choose to move into a future of shared prosperity, where everyone lives free and safe and well, or toward the WEF feudalism model where we own nothing, have no freedom, and obey our unaccomplished overlords. That is how we need to put it. If you vote for a Democrat, you vote for tampon shortages and auto burglaries, at least for the time being until they ban private automobiles. Oh, and let's not forget mutilating your kid both mentally with CRT and physically with surgery via elite gender nonsense. 

They really do hate you, and they really do want you dead or enslaved. And until every Republican politician gets that, until they learn what time it is, we're going to merely manage the decline instead of going on the counter-offensive and wreaking these people and their trash ideology once and for all. 

Are People on Planes Getting Dumber?

Yes, definitely. 

I have had to fly a lot in recent weeks in connection with my new non-fiction book, "We'll Be Back: The Fall and Rise of America" – six weeks, six trips. One thing has become abundantly clear. People are getting dumber, and there's no better demonstration than taking a flight. 

First of all, flights are unbelievably expensive. It's incredible. An economy ticket is what a first-class fare would have been when Trump was in office, and now a first-class ticket requires your firstborn. And for some reason, the crews now feel like they have to talk to you all the time. Safety briefing? Fine. But I don't need the pilot's musings on his thoughts about life. Fly the damn plane. If we're hitting turbulence, warn us. Tell us when we are arriving. Otherwise, silence. I want to sit there and stew unharangued.

And no, I do not need to hear about your wonderful credit card offers or be warned not to drink my own booze – like every normal person, I hit the bar before I fly instead of sneaking snorts of McCallan in my seat like a teen raiding dad's liquor cabinet. Here's one idea, though. Adequate ground staffing so that there is more than one person checking luggage for 300 people. It's like every flight is a surprise – "Gee, who would have thought a 777 would hold a lot of people?" 

And the passengers… cue the circus music. Look, I don't think you need a top hat and tails to fly, but a lot of these people dress like hobos who got vomited up by other hobos. The boarding process is a parade of muffin tops and tacky tatts. Thanks for the glimpse of your pierced navel, lady – here's an idea: Wear a shirt.

Carry-on luggage…who is unaware that bin space is tight and that your steamer trunk won't fit? Check your damn bags, people. I was consigned to steerage once, and this dude from some bizarre foreign country is sitting there and in the foot space where my feet go is this giant lute – I think it was an oud. And he looks at me like I'm the idiot when I say, "Hey, you need to get your blanking oud out of my seat." We did not chat on the flight, so some good came of it. 

Crying kids. I get it. Been there. Crying kids are part of life, and we need to deal. I am not complaining about that. We need strong young to fight communists, so children should be encouraged and parents rewarded instead of hassled. But you don't have to let your kid sing a song. Unless it is "Love Will Tear Us Apart" or "Anarchy in the UK" – that would rock. 

Then there are the masked people with their masked children. I don't wear masks because I am a man, so I get dirty looks when they have to sit around me. Drones. Oh, and another thing – do not have long, loud cell chats as we board. "Hi, getting on the plane. Call you when I land." That is the totality of an appropriate cell call on a plane, not some lengthy digression about how Lou in marketing was telling Sheila to get her TP46 forms organized, but she thought he said TP47 forms, and shenanigans ensued. Just sit there on the plane in uncomfortable silence as Team Dumbass tries to figure out how storage bins work. 

Rant complete.

 

 

Thanks, Joe: Iran has made $44,700,000,000 in illegal oil sales since Biden took office

Biden’s handlers’ relentless determination to appease the Islamic Republic has ended up lavishly financing the global jihad.

“Cash Bonanza: Iran Has Made $44.7 Billion in Illegal Oil Sales Since Biden Took Office,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, August 2, 2022:

Iran’s illegal oil trade has boomed under the Biden administration, with the hardline regime selling more than $44 billion worth of its heavily sanctioned oil to regimes like China, Syria, and Venezuela, according to figures published by a watchdog group.

From January 2021, when President Joe Biden took office, to June 2022, Iran sold around $44.7 billion in oil primarily to China. The regime’s export revenues between March 2021 and March 2022 from oil, gas, and related products “totaled $39 billion, compared [with] $22 billion for the previous year—a rise of 77 percent and an extra $17 billion,” according to United Against a Nuclear Iran (UANI), a watchdog group that tracks Iran’s network of illegal oil tankers.

“This drastic increase in revenue is not surprising when you look at the increase in oil exports that have occurred under the Biden administration,” UANI chief of staff Claire Jungman told the Washington Free Beacon. “This is the result of terminally lax sanctions enforcement.”

In addition to looser sanctions on Iran, the Biden administration has turned a blind eye to enforcement as it seeks to ink a revamped version of the 2015 nuclear deal. These moves are meant to appease Iran and cajole it into signing a deal that will remove virtually all sanctions on the hardline regime, including its oil trade. China is the primary beneficiary of this policy, with Iranian oil imports quadrupling to the country in 2021 to $23.1 billion. The China-Iran oil pipeline is on pace to hit around $27 billion in 2022, according to UANI’s figures.

If sanctions on Iran are lifted as part of a new nuclear deal, Iran-China trade could reach around $60 billion per year, according to one former U.S. official.

“China made a mockery of the credibility of our sanctions programs and emboldened rogue actors across the world to follow suit,” Gabriel Noronha, a State Department special adviser for Iran during the Trump administration, told the Free Beacon.

Iran’s foreign currency reserves— which were nearly drained under the Trump administration’s maximum pressure campaign—will have “increased nearly tenfold by the end of this year,” according to Noronha.

“The United States refused to enforce its sanctions even while Iran was continuing to advance its nuclear program and its regional terror attacks,” Noronha said. “The result was that Iran’s economy revived itself.”

This financial relief gave Iran a cushion and lessened pressure that could have forced it into accepting a more stringent nuclear deal.

“The Iranian leadership does not feel pressure to finalize the nuclear deal because they’ve already enjoyed the benefits of effective sanctions relief,” Noronha said. “The fact that the Biden administration can’t even manage a return to the notoriously weak [nuclear deal] is evidence of the sheer diplomatic malpractice carried out by the Biden administration, particularly Secretary of State Antony Blinken and U.S. envoy for Iran Rob Malley.”

As Iran and China boost their oil alliance, the U.S. emergency crude stockpiles dropped to their lowest levels in 37 years. This comes after the Biden administration agreed to sell China several million barrels from the U.S. stores, sparking a congressional investigation….

Russia drops gas pipeline supply to Germany by half while building massive new pipeline with China

BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS

The West is crumbling under the globalist Great Reset while Russia, China, and Iran are increasingly aggressive. Germany is now seeing unexpected runaway inflation because of a reduction in gas supply from Russia. Globalists focused on their misguided green plans, but those plans are now backfiring. Green-pushing Germany is turning to coal to offset the gas crisis stemming from Russia’s gas restriction.

Russia has dropped its gas pipeline supply to Germany by half, while building a massive new pipeline with China.

With the global mega shift, other countries are reshuffling for survival as well. Russia is also now expanding the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) — “a 7,200-kilometre (4,474-mile) network of railroads, highways and maritime routes that connects Russia and India through Iran.” India is excited about the project since it allows it to bypass Pakistan. And in June, Iran launched a “pilot transit of goods from Russia to India using the INSTC.”

The worst enemies of America are realigning to strengthen their economies, while Joe Biden compounds his failures and “progressives” remain fixated on transgender issues and how to sink Donald Trump.

Trump was ridiculed at the UN when he warned Germany about its dependence on Russian oil; Germany has now admitted it was wrong.

Even in the face of the mess that Biden continues to make of America, the Leftist hounds are still primarily focused on Trump for whatever role they conjured up — despite evidence to the contrary — that he supposedly played on January 6, 2021. Democrats are doing everything they can to continue the globalist agenda of the Great Reset that would see America destroyed. They are also fully aware of what Trump’s Make America Great Again plan would do to their global Great Reset.

“Germany accuses Russia of ‘power play’ as gas pipeline supply drops by half,” by Philip Oltermann, Guardian, June 27, 2022:

Germany has accused Moscow of engaging in “power play” over energy exports, as Russian state-run Gazprom further throttled gas supplies into Europe.

As announced two days earlier, the energy giant on Wednesday reduced the gas flow through Nord Stream 1 to 33m cubic metres a day – about 20% of the pipeline’s total capacity and half the amount it has been delivering since resuming service last week after 10 days of maintenance work.

According to network data from the gas transfer station in Lubmin, north-east Germany, only about 17m kilowatt hours of gas arrived between 8am and 9am, compared with more than 27m kWh between 6am and 7am.

Meanwhile, the Italian energy major Eni said it had been told by Gazprom it would only receive “approximately 27m cubic metres” of natural gas on Wednesday, down from around 34m cubic metres in recent days.

The Russian gas firm said gas flow was down because one of the last two operating turbines had to be halted due to a “technical condition of the engine” – an argument the German government in strong terms dismissed as a made-up pretext….

“Sabotage Joe” fake president threatens to declare CLIMATE EMERGENCY and invoke destructive executive orders to shut down America’s entire energy infrastructure

(Natural News) Imagine America with no more offshore oil rigs functioning at all. Imagine a ban on the construction of new refineries or pipelines. Consider the horrifying ramifications of our entire nation being plunged into a Sri Lanka-style collapse with engineered fuel scarcity affecting trains, long-haul trucks, and all forms of transportation.

Imagine no more. “Sabotage Joe” is reportedly planning on declaring a climate emergency and invoking executive orders that would make all these things a reality.

With these executive orders, America would be plunged into Third World status, with near-total economic collapse, mass starvation, widespread power grid failures, and civil unrest events off the charts. This is the plan of the climate cultists who are now at war with human civilization and who seek the complete dismantling of fossil fuel infrastructure across planet Earth, even if it means billions of people are plunged into poverty and starvation. (See Climate.news for more coverage of the climate cult.)

Climate cultists demand Sabotage Joe dismantle America’s fossil fuel infrastructure and leave the country in shambles

As both the Washington Post and Associated Press are reporting, Joe Biden is poised to declare a climate emergency and sign executive orders that would strangle America’s energy infrastructure. Biden’s destructive executive orders are reported to be based on this document from The Center for Biological Diversity, which outlines the following demands to collapse America’s energy infrastructure:

  1. Banning all oil exports from America, bankrupting many of America’s oil companies.
    1. Ban all oil extraction and exploration from 11 million acres of ocean waters off the coastline of the continental United States. This would drive a stake through the heart of America’s energy supply and bankrupt oil operations nationwide.
    2. Ban the importation of most fossil fuels, making sure that America’s collapsing domestic supply could not be replaced with energy from other countries.
    3. Halt oil extraction from the Permian Basin, which currently supplies about 25% of America’s domestic oil. The EPA is also trying to do this through a regulatory attack.
    4. Ban construction of most fossil fuel infrastructure projects such as refineries, pipelines or drilling rigs.

Taken together, these actions represent a suicide cult blueprint for the collapse of America by taking away the energy infrastructure that allows this nation to operate. Without oil and natural gas, the United States of America would have no way to transport coal to power plants, resulting in nationwide blackouts and the collapse of most industry and private sector operations. This, in turn, would result in mass joblessness, homelessness and destitution.

Without affordable fuel for transportation and logistics:

  • Food would not be delivered to grocery stores
  • Agriculture and farming operations would cease
  • All construction and road repair would grind to a halt
  • Coal would not be delivered to power plants
  • Consumer goods would not get delivered to retail stores
  • No replacement parts would be available for anything: Air conditioners, tractors, cars, buses, airplanes, etc.

In essence, if these executive orders are invoked and allowed to stand, it would mean the total destruction of America and a catastrophic collapse into a Third World existence. Almost certainly, at least 200 million Americans would die in the collapse due to mass starvation, violence, social unrest, suicides and more. The nation would be gutted.

This is apparently what climate cultists want, of course: The complete extermination of human civilization, which they consider to be a scourge on the planet. To save the Earth, they believe, they must wipe out most human beings living today. Achieving that requires an economic collapse and widespread food scarcity, so these policies are designed to achieve precisely those outcomes.

Climate cultists are eco-terrorists

Because climate cultists believe they are fighting for the very survival of the planet, there’s no limit to the number of human beings they will murder to achieve their stated goals. That’s why climate cultists are actually eco-terrorists who repeatedly target human civilization and human infrastructure with acts of sabotage. They see human infrastructure as destructive and human beings as carbon polluters. They will not be satisfied until they tear down every system that keeps humanity alive, including agriculture, transportation, and the power grid.

Only in darkness and destitution will the climate cultists find happiness. When billions die, the cities have collapsed and the roads are empty climate cultists will finally claim to have achieved “sustainability,” even though most of them will have already died from their own self-induced starvation. If we turn our policies over to these left-wing lunatics, we join their suicide cult that can only end in global depopulation, starvation, and suffering.

The world needs fossil fuels to function. If you shut down the fossil fuel infrastructure while falsely claiming to be in a “transition” to green energy, you only end up transitioning into mass global death and suffering. Green energy isn’t yet able to power tractors, transport trucks, trains and a reliable power grid. Until that day comes — which will require decades of research into improved batteries, hot fusion and cold fusion energy systems — shutting down fossil fuels is a suicide mission.

Elections have consequences. Rigged elections have catastrophic consequences.

Biden intentionally destroying U.S. economy and sabotaging the American energy sector

(Natural News) It’s become patently obvious that Joe Biden’s handlers, all of whom are sycophantic left-wing followers of Barack Obama, are intentionally destroying our economy and the American energy sector because poor people are much easier to control as slaves.

That’s the view of Fox News host and top radio talker Mark Levin, who explained what was going on during a recent program on the network.

“Joe Biden and the Democrat Party are, in fact, responsible for sabotaging our economy and sabotaging our energy industry. It has nothing to do with foreign forces and foreign powers or boogeymen. It has something to do with actual policies that have been in the process now for decades,” the host said in his opening monologue on Sunday’s “Life, Liberty, & Levin” program on Fox, which added:

Levin said the policies Democrats “put under the nomenclature of climate change or the Green New Deal” were originally introduced in the 1970s at a conference in Europe where academics, professors, Marxist activists, and left-wing politicians came up with climate control as a system through which they would push their economic agenda.

“[German philosopher Karl] Marx hated the industrial society, and he was relatively shocked when he saw, particularly in the latter parts of his life, that in the United States, as our industries grew, as our capitalist system expanded economic activity and prosperity, that rather than the proletariat, the workers rising up and overthrowing the bourgeoisie, the owners and the managers, quite the opposite occurred,” Levin explained.

“The lifestyle for most people went up,” Levin said. “We created this vast middle class, which is the heart and soul of America and the American system. It’s the opposite of what Marx intended. And the leftists have been fighting this ever since for the last 100 years, and now it’s come to a head.”

He went on to point out that the Biden regime is replete with the “most radical appointees” ever named to head up various federal departments in the country’s history, and of course, that was by design.

“They are abiding by this half-century old degrowth movement. They can call it whatever they want, but that’s exactly what it is. It is a war on capitalism. And you know what? It’s working,” he said, going on to blast the Biden admin excuse that prices of food, gasoline, diesel fuel, and nearly everything else Americans need on a daily basis is the fault of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the so-called “Putin Price Hike” lie.

What’s more, Levin is well aware of what the plan is over the long haul: Break the economy and leave it broken.

“It’s not Putin. It’s not the world economy. It is Biden and the Biden administration and the Democrats who have embraced every syllable of this propaganda,” he said. “Let me be abundantly clear,” he said.

“This has nothing to do with Russia invading Ukraine. It has nothing to do with Saudi Arabia. It has nothing to do with anything but Joe Biden, the Democrat Congress, and the radicals. And you know what their plan is to fix the energy situation? They have no plan. They broke the system, and they have no intention of fixing it,” he added.

WATCH:

Not all Democrats have lost their minds.

Sen. Joe Manchin of W. Va. has regularly blasted Biden and his own party for inflationary policies that are reaming average Americans.

“No matter what spending aspirations some in Congress may have, it is clear to anyone who visits a grocery store or a gas station that we cannot add any more fuel to this inflation fire,” he said, echoing a familiar theme that he believes massive government spending is in large part responsible for runaway inflation, now at the highest levels in more than 40 years.

“Today’s inflation data illustrates the pain families across the country are feeling as costs continue to rise at a historic rate,” Manchin added in a statement posted to his Senate website.

“9.1% is cause for serious concern. Items like chicken, eggs and lunchmeat have increased to new highs, while energy costs rose more than 40% in June with those that can least afford it suffering the most,” he said.

Top 7 ways Biden Regime is decimating America and the populace

(Natural News) There is no longer “safety in numbers,” especially when it comes to about 200 million Americans taking the advice and guidance of the US government and regulatory agencies. Anyone who takes the advice of the FDA and CDC is venturing down a rabbit hole of dangerous, experimental medications and pesticide-laden, processed GMO food, all of which fuels the chronic sick care industry of America. To rub salt in that ‘long term’ wound, the economy is quickly crashing and burning (by design), causing consumers and patients to spend even more of the quickly-dwindling money they have left. Misinformation is at an all-time high, and it’s mostly thanks to the FDA, the CDC, and the highly corrupt Biden Regime. Let’s take a closer look.

Apocalyptic Problems: Food shortages, deadly COVID jabs, skyrocketing inflation, mass-disinformation

The combination of major issues Americans face today is leading to mass casualties and apocalyptic situations. None of these problems are accidental or caused by natural forces, but rather are well-planned and executed by corrupt corporations, government agencies, and of course, Big Pharma.

Chronic inflammation, for example, has always been a problem for the majority of Americans who eat processed food daily, drink tap water, take prescription drugs, and get every vaccine the CDC recommends. Now, the Fauci Flu clot shots are clogging the vascular system of hundreds of millions of ‘patients’ with spike proteins that exacerbate health problems to the fullest extent.

Now the FDA and CDC are pushing these dangerous, experimental gene therapy injections for children, babies, and pregnant women alike. This will surely skyrocket the ‘sudden death syndrome’ that’s sweeping the nation, and the ‘spontaneous abortions’ that are supposedly unexplainable by doctors.

The majority of Americans are still falling for the age-old, lying mantra about vaccines that they are “safe and effective,” when they are actually very dangerous and ineffective.

Supply chain issues are all by design, thanks to COVID-19 lockdowns, factory shutdowns, fires, explosions, and employee firings over non-compliance with illegal vaccine mandates. This is driving the cost of everything through the roof, and most families can barely afford their energy bills, mortgage, rent, food, medicine, fuel, and other basic necessities and supplies.

America’s food and fuel production infrastructure is being dismantled purposely by the evil Biden Regime

Life and living is hard enough without the government purposely wrecking every working system around. Worried about the pandemic? Don’t get “vaccinated” with protein prions that clog your blood and cleansing organs. Tough to pay the bills because taxes are high and pay is low? Inflation is only worsening by the day, so there’s no relief there. Trying to eat healthy to boost your immune system? Good luck. The US government is trying to transition everyone to eating only lab-concocted food that causes cancer, so no help there. Trying to run a business so you can be your own boss and retire early? The Biden Regime is trying to bankrupt all private businesses using COVID-19 as an excuse while choking out the supply chain and printing trillions of dollars to wreck the economy. No help there. In fact, it’s just the opposite – pure decimation of every working system.

Top 7 ways Biden Regime is decimating America and all Americans

#1. Pushing toxic, blood-clotting, spike protein injections for everyone, including babies

#2. Ending all domestic fossil fuel production

#3. Burning and exploding food factories and fertilizer plants

#4. Blocking and suffocating the supply chain in order to usher in lab-made food

#5. Printing and laundering trillions of dollars that drive inflation through the roof

#6. Censoring all information that protects the health and safety of Americans

#7. Fostering the biggest misinformation campaign ever about war and vaccines

Oklahoma natural gas plant explodes, damaging critical NGL hub

Image: Oklahoma natural gas plant explodes, damaging critical NGL hub

BY ETHAN HUFF

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

(Natural News) One of the country’s leading midstream natural gas service providers went up in flames over the weekend in yet another mysterious explosion incident.

ONEOK, Inc., a large-scale operator of major natural gas liquids (NGL) systems, had its NGL fractionation facility in Medford, located about 85 miles south of Wichita, Kan., explode out of nowhere on Saturday, potentially disrupting the flow of hydrocarbons to energy export hubs on the Texas Gulf Coast.

As we reported back in June, another major natural gas terminal, this one owned by Freeport Liquefied Natural Gas, also went up in flames this year.

“There is an active incident at the plant south of town, and we are asking all residents south of Main Street to evacuate your homes and go to the Medford public school building,” announced the Grant County Sheriff’s Office in a Facebook.

Video footage of the Oklahoma explosion, shared by KWCH Eyewitness News, can be seen below:

KWTX News 10 also shared footage from a different angle:

In a statement, ONEOK explained that the “incident” did not result in any injuries that the company is “aware of.” ONEOK continues to work with local emergency responders and “appreciate[s] their quick response.”

“Our focus continues working with emergency responders to extinguish the fire and the safety of the surrounding community and our employees,” the company added.

At least four natural gas plants have exploded in the U.S. since early June

The NGL products that ONEOK handles just so happen to be used broadly in all sectors of the United States economy. The company’s now-badly damaged fractionation plant separates NGLs into various NGL products including ethane, propane, butane, and natural gas.

According to reports, NGL products are used in inputs for petrochemical plants, such as for the purpose of generating electricity at power plants, creating fuel for cooking, and mixing fuel for vehicles.

ONEOK’s Medford fractionation facility feeds NGL products directly into pipelines that run through Texas to Mont Belvieu on the Gulf Coast, a major export hub for energy products.

“There’s no word (yet) on disruptions to pipeline flows,” one report explained.

Since early June, at least four different natural gas facilities, just in the U.S. alone, have exploded or caught on fire under mysterious circumstances. One of them was the Freeport facility on June 8, as well as the:

• Petro Star refinery explosion in Valdez, Ak., on June 27

  • Energy Transfer pipeline explosion in Wallis, Tx., on July 7

These explosions follow a spate of similar explosions and fires at food processing plants, dozens of which have been partially or fully destroyed over the past several months.

The ONEOK and other natural gas explosions come at the worst possible time for the Texas power grid, about half of which is powered by natural gas. Texas is currently in the throes of the very hot summer season, which means more power outages could soon be on the way for Texans.

“This is a highly organized takedown of the U.S.,” wrote a commenter on a news story about the ONEOK explosion. “Energy infrastructure has been hobbled and food production, too – even baby formula.”

“Death jabs, collapsed supply chains, etc.”

Another wrote that the explosions could be the result of having to run refineries at 95-98 percent capacity “to try to offset Biden’s idiocy.”

It is really starting to seem like these explosions are intentional and planned. More of the latest can be found at Collapse.news.

Included in the American oil being shipped out of the country during a time of extremely high gasoline prices is nearly one million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to a Chinese firm — owned by that country’s communist government — in which Hunter Biden’s equity company held a $1.7 billion stake. The 950,000 barrels sold to Unipec, the trading arm of Sinopec, make up part of the five million barrels of oil exported after President Joe Biden released oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) was created during the administration of Richard Nixon for use in times of national emergency. At the time, the United States was heavily dependent upon foreign oil, and it was argued that the SPR could help if those foreign sources were cut off in time of war or other national emergency. Congress authorized the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to help prevent a repetition of the economic dislocation caused by the 1973-1974 Arab oil embargo. Biden, however, has decided to release some of the oil just to bring down the price of gasoline at the pump, as those high prices are hurting him politically. (Of course, this release has little impact on pump prices, but Biden is no doubt hoping that consumers will think he is doing something to help them.)

He has even taken to denouncing local retailers for not lowering their gasoline prices at the pump.

China is not the only destination for U.S. oil, as the Biden administration is releasing about a million barrels of oil per day from the SPR, which now has the least oil in reserve since 1986. The Department of Energy released a statement defending the releases, saying, “The SPR remains a critical energy security tool to address global crude oil supply disruptions.”

Before Biden took office, the United States had become independent of foreign sources of oil, the price of gasoline at the pump was around $2 per gallon, and the SPR was well-supplied. Now, however, under Biden’s policies designed to cut back on oil production, supposedly to combat “climate change,” oil prices have soared to over $100 a barrel, and gasoline prices at the pump have increased dramatically, to over $5 a gallon — and in some places in the United States, to over $6 a gallon.

The mainstream media, however, have chosen not to give much coverage to this aspect of the oil price story, particularly the sale of American oil to a firm wholly owned by the Chinese Communist Party. They continue to generally ignore stories related to Biden’s son, Hunter, and the connections Joe Biden has had with his son’s business dealings.

One can only imagine the media frenzy that would have ensued if one of President Donald Trump’s sons had had such dealings, i.e., if President Trump had told a foreign country that they were being cut off from a billion-dollar loan guarantee unless they fired their state prosecutor — a state prosecutor who was investigating a firm in which Trump’s son was involved as a director.

But American oil is not just being sent out of the country to China.

In addition to exports to Communist China, almost half a million barrels of U.S. oil have been sent by Phillips 66 to Trieste, Italy. From Trieste, a pipeline sends the oil to refineries in Europe. So, while Biden shuts down pipelines that could bring more oil to the United States and reduce prices here, American oil is being sent to pipelines in Europe to lower prices there. Europe is desperate for oil to make up for the loss of oil from Russia due to the war with Ukraine.

The inventory of U.S. crude is now at its lowest level in nearly 20 years. Despite Biden’s demagoguery against oil companies, and even local businesses selling gasoline, oil refineries are running near capacity.

It needs to be emphasized that this is a result of the deliberate policy choices of the Biden administration. They contend that oil and gas are making a major contribution to global warming, and have proudly said that they want to reduce the consumer use of oil and gas. Heavy regulations of the oil industry are intended to reduce the supply of oil. Basic economics teaches that if one decreases the supply of a product when there is no decrease in demand, the price will rise. Yet Biden, in demagogic fashion, blames oil companies and local retailers for the high prices that his policies have contributed to greatly.

Local retailers have a very slim profit margin from the sale of gasoline at the pump, and many convenience stores have gas pumps just to get customers into the stores to buy their other products. Biden knows all of this — unless he has forgotten it.

The solution is to return to the commonsense policies of the previous administration — policies that had made the United States energy independent.

Biden’s policies only make sense if the goal is to make America more dependent on foreign sources because he is not for American independence in oil or anything else.

Oil price could TRIPLE to $380 / barrel, warns JPMorgan, from Putin simply reducing oil exports from Russia

(Natural News) If you think gas prices are bad now, consider what JPMorgan analysts are now saying about the price of a barrel of oil tripling in the not-too-distant future.

Right now, a barrel of oil costs about $111. But if JPMorgan analysts are correct, then that same barrel of oil will soon be $380 – and the culprit, as always, is “Russia.”

Should Vladimir Putin’s country cut output, then gas will skyrocket even higher than its current price, decimating the American and global economies in a matter of weeks or days.

“It is likely that the government could retaliate by cutting output as a way to inflict pain on the West,” the analysts wrote. “The tightness of the global market is on Russia’s side.”

JPMorgan head Jamie Dimon recently warned about an “economic hurricane” soon to come, and it appears that this latest analysis is fleshing out what it might look like.

If Russia cuts oil production by three million barrels per day, or so we are told, then a barrel of oil on the global market will increase in price to $190. In a worst-case scenario, Russia could cut oil production by five million barrels per day, driving a single barrel price up to $380.

Many Western countries, especially in Europe, rely on Russian oil and other fuels to power their economies. Germany, Europe’s largest economy, is already suffering due to its refusal to pay for fuel in Russian rubles following the Ukraine war sanctions.

The “Group of Seven,” as they are called, which lead many industrialized nations, is working on a complex plan, reports indicate, to cap the price that Russia can charge from oil sales to non-G7 countries as part of their next-level sanctions against the country.

“The goal here is to starve Russia – starve Putin of his main source of cash and force down the price of Russian oil to help blunt the impact of Putin’s war at the pump,” announced a senior official in the Biden regime, once again blaming Putin for the situation.

“The dual objectives of G7 leaders have been to take direct aim at Putin’s revenues, particularly through energy, but also to minimize the spillovers and the impact on the G7 economies and the rest of the world.”

Capping oil prices could actually strengthen Putin rather than punish him

There is almost nothing that happens anymore that Western authorities do not end up blaming on Russia, even though the energy crisis would not be a crisis at all if America was still energy independent.

Thanks in part to the Biden regime’s “green” economic policies, America is more energy-dependent than it has been in a long time, and the consequences of this are still unfolding.

“The most obvious and likely risk with a price cap is that Russia might choose not to participate and instead retaliate by reducing exports,” warned JPMorgan analysts about how the latest G7 proposal could end up backfiring and hurting the West even more.

When asked recently how long he expects Americans to be paying sky-high gas prices, Joe Biden, America’s fake president, said:

“As long as it takes so Russia cannot, in fact, defeat Ukraine and move beyond Ukraine. This is a critical, critical position for the world. Here we are.”

Should Putin attempt anything more that upsets Biden and his handlers, the United States plans to take steps to strengthen NATO “across the board,” Biden added.

“This is about the future of the liberal world order, and we have to stand firm,” added Brian Deese, the White House Director of the National Economic Council, about how Americans need to suck it up and continue draining their wallets at the gas pump on behalf of globalists whose personal interests are being shaken and threatened by Putin’s “special operation” in Ukraine.

Biden Mocked for Ordering Gas Stations to Bring Down Prices

Do we need to give prospective presidents an economic literacy test? There’s little doubt that, judging by this tweet, Joe Biden would get an “F.”

My message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple: this is a time of war and global peril.

Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you’re paying for the product. And do it now.

— President Biden (@POTUS) July 2, 2022

Wow. Jeff Bezos accused the U.S. president of either deliberately misleading the public or lacking a “basic” understanding of the forces that actually drive prices.

Biden apparently doesn’t know that gas station owners are mostly independent small businesses whose razor-thin profit margins make it impossible to willy-nilly lower prices at the pump just because the president orders them to.

At least the Chinese agree with Biden. They mocked the American president for proving their point about “capitalist exploitation.”

New York Post:

In response to Biden’s demand that oil companies lower their prices, the president was trolled by Chinese state media.

“Now US President finally realized that capitalism is all about exploitation. He didn’t believe this before,” wrote Chen Weihua, EU Bureau Chief and columnist for China Daily, an English language media outlet owned by the Chinese Communist Party.

Biden’s unseemly begging comes on the heels of a White House advisor’s warning that we must suffer these high prices for fuel because “This is about the future of the liberal world order, and we have to stand firm.”

Biden himself suggested Americans are just going to have to grit their teeth and get used to it. At a press conference in Madrid, he made it clear that the high prices would be with us as long as Ukraine could convince the United States to stand with them

Q : The war [in Ukraine] has pushed [oil] prices up.  They could go as high as $200 a barrel, some analysts think.  How long is it fair to expect American drivers and drivers around the world to pay that premium for this war?

THE PRESIDENT:  As long as it takes, so Russia cannot, in fact, defeat Ukraine and move beyond Ukraine.  This is a critical, critical position for the world.  Here we are.  Why do we have NATO?

“So Russia cannot, in fact, defeat Ukraine and move beyond Ukraine,” is very cold war-ish, don’t you think? It was the rationale used by the right in every American intervention during the Cold War. The left mocked any notion of Russian expansionism at the time as childish and an excuse for imperialism.

What say ye now, Joe Biden?

Supplies wouldn’t be short and prices wouldn’t be as high if Biden had continued the policies of Donald Trump that made America virtually energy independent.

Biden is going to Saudi Arabia later this month, hat in hand, to beg the Kingdom to open the spigot and pump more oil. What’s worse is that Biden refuses to take any responsibility for gas prices spiking. He has blamed everyone else for his failures. This latest idiocy demonstrates a shocking ignorance of basic economics and a childish political effort to evade blame.

‘Genderfluid’ ‘Puppy’ Begins Work at Department of Energy

New in PJ Media:

Back in the days of Roman imperial decadence, at least according to legend, the emperor Caligula demonstrated his unfitness for office and the dangers of public indifference and complacency when he appointed his horse Incitatus a senator. Woke America hasn’t reached such an advanced stage of imperial decadence that we have a horse in the Senate; all we have is a dog in the Department of Energy.

Sam Brinton (“they/them”) tweeted happily on Wednesday: “It’s official. As of June 19th, I now serve my nation as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy in the Department of Energy.” He attached a photo of himself that was apparently taken in his office; in it, a smirking, lipsticked Brinton, hands on hips, is wearing a belted sleeveless red jumpsuit (or something) with American flag-themed high heels and a chain necklace.

Brinton modestly omits mention of the fact that he is the first canine to serve in the Department of Energy. In a 2016 article in Metro Weekly, he speaks at length about “puppy play” (he is identified only by his first name, but an accompanying photo makes it clear that Sam in the article is Brinton. The new Deputy Assistant Secretary explains: “I actually have trouble when we transition from pup play to having sex. Like, ‘No, I can’t have you whimper like that when we’re having sex,’ because I don’t want to mix that world. It’s interesting because he doesn’t have to come out of pup mode to have me f**k him. I personally have to bring him out of pup perception for me. But then I’m still treating him as a submissive to me.”

The nuclear energy expert defends all this against those strait-laced bigots who might object: “I’ve honestly had people ask, ‘Wait, you have sex with animals?’ They believe it’s abusive, that it’s taking advantage of someone who may not be acting up to a level of human responsibility…. The other misperception is that I have some really messed up background, like, did I have some horrible childhood trauma that made me like to have sex with animals.”

He may not have mentioned all this Wednesday because, in typical Leftist fashion, he claims that an earlier announcement of his appointment had led to him receiving threats. It’s funny how Leftists are responsible for the overwhelming majority of the political violence in America today, yet Leftist politicians and officials routinely claim that they’re constantly being harassed by racist, redneck, MAGA hat-wearing yahoos. Brinton tweeted: “Due to the concern of negative and threatening responses like we saw in my previous announcement, including more than a hundred death threats and more vitriol than I could have imagined, I held off announcing my official start until I could be safe and secure in my new role.”

There is more. Read the rest here.

HOW AMERICA ENDS: Putin announces new BRICS global reserve currency project to REPLACE the petrodollar

BY MIKE ADAMS

SEE: https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-06-24-putin-announces-new-brics-global-reserve-currency-replace-petrodollar.html;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

(Natural News) Although the biggest news of the week is undoubtedly the US Supreme Court overturning Roe vs. Wade, there’s another bombshell that quietly broke two days ago — one that will have vastly more profound devastating consequences on the world than any decision coming from SCOTUS.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that BRICS nations are going to roll out a new alternative to the US dollar’s global reserve currency status. As reported by IndiaTimes.com:

According to the Russian president, the member states are also developing reliable alternative mechanisms for international payments. Earlier, the group said it was working on setting up a joint payment network to cut reliance on the Western financial system. The BRICS countries have been also boosting the use of local currencies in mutual trade.

But this is only the beginning of the bombshell here.

We also know from industry sources that “Project Sandman” refers to a group of over 100 countries that plan to simultaneously denounce the US dollar as a global reserve currency. This will likely take place on a Sunday evening, USA time, says Andy Schectman, the CEO of Miles Franklin (a gold and silver dealer). He told me this in an interview recorded yesterday, to be aired soon.

The new replacement currency will be powered by blockchain and backed by gold, which is why member nations have been rapidly stockpiling gold supplies in anticipation of the big announcement. When that announcement comes, nations that represent nearly 75% of the world’s population will simultaneously denounce the US dollar and roll out a gold-backed, blockchain-audited international currency system that will instantly become the world’s currency choice for free trade and a store of value.

The dollar, backed by nothing but more money printing and incompetent political leadership, will collapse toward zero. Virtually overnight, goods and services sold in America will increase in price by 1000%. And that’s only the beginning: The dollar will continue to lose value by the hour as the world’s holders of US Treasury debt and dollar currency dump it all at any price.

Those holding dollars will lose everything.

The United States government will quickly collapse in parallel with the collapse of the dollar and the US central bank. There will be no money to pay military troops or pay off corrupt government officials. All government salaries and pensions will be effectively halted. The great neocon empire of debt, lies, and death will implode so rapidly that people will be psychically shocked and physically unprepared.

Russia, China, and India will emerge as the economic leaders of the world, and the US empire will cease to exist. The former United States of America will be broken into regional nation-states, divided largely among political lines with the satanic, anti-American Left seizing control of the coasts, and conservative, pro-America, pro-liberty, pro-Constitution groups dominating the rest of the country. Expect a very real civil war to ensue, with massive casualties.

Russia knows that it can defeat America simply by joining the world’s efforts to declare America’s dollar currency to be null and void. No nuclear war is necessary. America it already highly vulnerable to this sort of collapse due to the nation’s massive debt and spending addictions. Russia and China are merely sucking the air out of America’s collapsing currency, knowing that economic gravity will do the rest.

The Belt and Road Initiative – the future of world trade WITHOUT America and Western Europe

Examine the following map, depicting China’s Belt and Road Initiative, consisting of protected, high-efficiency trade routes among countries representing about 75% of the world’s population:

This Belt and Road Initiative will speed trade among member nations, and it will use China’s new “digital yuan” currency backed by gold and audited by blockchain technology. (Please watch my upcoming interview with Andy Schectman for a lot more on this, as Andy has been following the topic quite extensively.)

Notice what’s missing from this map? America and Western Europe.

That’s because America — the military and economic bully of the world — isn’t welcomed by other nations. America doesn’t play nice. America bombs anyone it wants while weaponizing the SWIFT system to punish its political enemies, and now that the world has come to realize the dollar is a weapon rather than a free trade currency, nobody wants anything to do with America from here forward.

The economic sanctions against Russia were the last straw for the dollar, it turns out. And the USA has nothing left to back its currency: Not manufacturing, not labor, not agricultural output, and not even gold in the vaults. The USA no longer has fair and free elections and no longer has freedom of speech. On top of that, the USA has political prisoners rotting in jails in DC while the FDA harvests organs from aborted human babies to use for medical experiments. In other words, the USA occupying an illegitimate government, under demonic influence, has become a great evil in the world.

Western Europe is run by lunatics and “woke” propagandists who are committing economic suicide by outlawing every form of energy that matters. The EU is disintegrating, and the Euro currency likely will collapse within the next year. Western Europe is on a suicide mission, both economically and culturally, as the nations of Europe can’t even protect their own borders from mass migration. (Nor can the USA, for that matter.)

America as you know it will soon cease to exist

The era of Western Civilization is coming to an end. It will be characterized by the collapse of the dollar, a global repudiation of the petrodollar status, a collapse of the rule of law across the United States, a collapse of the stock market, pensions, bond market, and crypto markets, a collapse of the food supply chain, and a collapse of the fuel and transportation infrastructure. This will, in turn, take down the power grid in many areas, leading to a Mad Max-style scenario from which a few capable survivors will attempt to flee.

Before the end of 2025, as I have publicly predicted for at least the last five years — America as you know it will cease to exist. This has been the plan all along from Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and plenty of RINO neocons, too (the Cheneys, Bushes, etc.). They needed to take down America in order to achieve a one-world government under the fascist United Nations, with universal gun control, universal vaccine mandates, abortion “rights,” engineered global starvation, and total control over all speech and elections.

Their agenda is failing at many levels, however. Roe vs. Wade was just struck down by the US Supreme Court, for example, and there are elements at work that are looking likely to achieve key indictments against deep state players. However, any state that wants to exist after the dollar collapses must be ready to roll out its own gold-backed currency on an emergency basis. Texas is largely prepared to do this, but few other states are ready. The re-establishment of trade and commerce (following the dollar collapse) is going to be the key to surviving the demise of the dollar.

Texas is America’s No. 1 exporter of goods, by the way, and the Texas economy is larger than most nations on the planet. So is the economy of California. But California is run by child-murdering, demonic fascists while Texas has the world’s best Attorney General (Paxton) and a strong contingent of pro-human, pro-liberty, pro-Constitution Americans who are ready and willing to relaunch the spirit of America in the new Republic of Texas, when necessary. #TEXIT

But no matter what happens domestically, America’s days of being able to run around the world, threatening everybody with military strikes and dollar weaponization will soon be over. And without the ability to print money and defraud the world into buying soon-to-be-worthless US debt instruments, the United States military will have no funding to continue operations or build new weapons. It will eventually be disbanded.

What happened to the former Soviet Union in 1991 is about to happen to the United States of America: A collapse of the ability to continue to fund the bureaucracy and military that propped up the system the entire time. The USA has sadly devolved into an empire of debt, lies, and death. The country is currently ruled by an actual death cult, but those days are fast coming to an end with the imminent collapse of the demonic dollar and all the evil that money printing has enabled since 1971.

When this evil is finally brought to an end, all those who value life, liberty, and happiness will rejoice (and rebuild).

Get prepared, for that today is coming soon. And from what I’ve concluded, the only way to avoid the financial collapse that’s coming is to hold your assets in physical goods such as gold and silver, land, agricultural equipment, ammunition, industrial buildings (factories, for example), and other “real” things that don’t vanish in a currency collapse.

Freeport Liquefied Natural Gas terminal down for the ENTIRE YEAR due to pipe explosion

Image: Freeport Liquefied Natural Gas terminal down for the ENTIRE YEAR due to pipe explosion

SEE: https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-06-22-freeport-natural-gas-terminal-down-explosion-collapse.html;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

(Natural News) One of the largest operators of liquefied natural gas export terminals in the United States suffered a massive blow last week that will leave its main plant fully offline through September, and only partially operational after that through year’s end.

Freeport Liquefied Natural Gas says damage from a mysterious fire and explosion that took place at its Texas facility was so severe that it is simply not possible to get things back up and running as quickly as some may have hoped.

This is really bad news for Europe, which is already short on natural gas due to the war in Ukraine. Natural gas prices immediately jumped in Europe following the news, while slumping in the United States.

Freeport LNG’s plant singlehandedly accounts for about 20 percent of all U.S. natural gas exports, and was, up until the fire and explosion, a major supplier to European suppliers seeking alternatives to Russian gas since the February invasion.

According to the company, its Quintana, Tex.-based plant caught fire and exploded when an over-pressurized pipeline ruptured. Processing operations were not damaged, however.

The Rystad Energy consulting group says that Freeport LNG can process 2.1 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) of natural gas into a supercooled liquid suitable for shipping. Up until the incident, it had been running near capacity.

Roughly 1.17 bcfd of Freeport LNG’s output had been going to Europe as of May, up from 0.81 bcfd in March.

“It’s very serious,” said Alex Munton, director of natural gas and LNG at Rapidan Energy, another energy consulting group.

“We now have a much larger and much more extensive outage at Freeport LNG that will remove more supply from the market than was anticipated last week.”

This unexpected disaster is actually good news for the US natural gas market

A prolonged outage, Freeport indicated, will reduce exports by 40 “cargoes” — LNG container ships — from annual export volume, up sharply from an earlier estimate of a three-week outage that would have reduced exports by just 13 cargoes. The 100-million-ton-per-year market for LNG is now expected to lose between four and five million tons.

“We expect Europe will be the region most impacted by this incident,” Rystad analysts said.

Roughly 70 percent of Freeport’s exports in the past few months have been to the European Union and Great Britain, the biggest importers this year being France, Turkey, and The Netherlands.

None of the liquefaction trains that chill the gas were damaged, nor were any of the processing areas, storage tanks, or docks. Freeport is still investigating the situation and has not yet commented on whether or not investigators are looking into potential design or structural flaws.

“There is a lot of analysis to understand the problem, put in measures of safety and operational regime to make sure it doesn’t happen again,” Rapidan’s Munton said.

While this is bad news for Europe and Great Britain, it is good news for the U.S., which has been in a natural gas storage deficit. Inventories have hovered around 300 bcf below the five-year average, according to Al Salazar, a senior vice president at Enverus Intelligence Research.

“It should be alarming to federal policymakers that the Freeport LNG terminal only exports 2 Bcfd, yet it is having such a significant impact to prices,” said Paul Cicio, chief executive of the Industrial Energy Consumers of America, a trade group that has been calling on Congress to limit expanded LNG export permits.

The outage, this group added, highlights the negative impact that exports of natural gas have had on U.S. consumers and the prices they pay domestically for natural gas.

Diesel engine oil additive manufacturers that have declared Force Majeure or experienced disrupted operations in 2022

Image: EXCLUSIVE RESEARCH: Diesel engine oil additive manufacturers that have declared Force Majeure or experienced disrupted operations in 2022

(Natural News) In yesterday’s article and podcast, I warned that the US supply of diesel engine oil faced a near-total wipeout in the next 8 weeks due to a supply chain shortage of chemical additives used to make diesel engine oil. The so-called “base oils” are not reportedly in short supply, but the chemical additives — rust inhibitors, anti-foaming agents, dispersing agents, etc. — have suffered extreme supply chain problems, leading to production shortages for the final oil product.

There are also shortages in packaging materials used to hold, transport and dispose of chemical additives. (See the full list below.)

As of right now, this critical supply chain shortage is being exclusively reported by Natural News. To our knowledge, no one in the corporate media has covered this issue, and even across the alt media, traction for this story has so far been minimal. As promised yesterday, we have been researching the supply chain for diesel engine oil additives, and today we present the results of that investigation.

As it turns out, the supply chain for diesel engine oil additives is in worse shape than we feared. See the list here, and feel free to re-post this list with credit to NaturalNews.com. Note that some of these Force Majeure declarations impact additive packaging and transportation (such as HDPE drums) as well as base oil feed stocks (such as light crude oil). Finally, realize that what we are showing here merely scratches the surface of the supply chain disruption affecting engine oil. There are no doubt dozens more examples of force majeure declarations that haven’t been made public or aren’t easy to find online. So take this list as a small sampling of what’s really happening.

Chemicals affected: tert-butyl acetate, ethylene glycol ether acetate

On April 15, a mechanical failure occurred at LyondellBasell’s carbon monoxide supply system for its acetic acid feedstock in La Porte Complex, Texas. The third largest glacial acetic acid production base in the world. Therefore, LyondellBasell really declared force majeure on products such as tert-butyl acetate and ethylene glycol ether acetate (EBA, DBA) on April 22.

The notice shows that the allocation is based on the average monthly purchases of customers over the past 6 months (October 2021-March 2022), which will be effective from May 1, 2022. The news indicates that the above-mentioned raw materials will be supplied in limited quantities according to the previous purchases of customers.

tert-butyl acetate
–    Used as an additive to gasoline to prevent engine knocking. It is also used as a solvent for lacquers.

ethylene glycol ether acetate
–    These compounds have a positive effect on diesel fuel lubricity, and slightly decrease its viscosity

Ineos Olefins & Polymers said in a letter to customers that it experienced force majeure on all of its polyolefin products related to rail restrictions and expected to be required to limit rail transport to its best average daily rate. the following. Ineos added that it was committed to exploring all commercially reasonable alternatives to deliver products to its customers, but that the company’s deliveries would be greatly affected if restrictions worsen or extend beyond a few weeks. The force majeure polyolefin products include a 318,000-ton/year high-density polyethylene (HDPE) unit at Cedar Bayou, Texas; a 439,000-ton/year polypropylene (PP) unit at Chocolate Bayou, Texas. ) unit; 794,000 t/y high-density polyethylene (HDPE) unit at plant in Deer Park, Texas; 147,000 t/y polypropylene (PP) unit at Deer Park, Texas plant; California 230,000-ton/year polystyrene (PS) plant in Carson, Calif.

Polystyrene
Polystyrene dissolved in fatty acid methyl esters has a greater heating value as fuel, so that a reduction of the fuel consumption per output and the increase in the use of diesel and boiler cogeneration can be expected.

Polyethylene
High-Density Polyethylene drums (HDPE) are used to store and transport diesel fuel, diesel engine oil, DEF fluid, as well as chemical additives used in diesel fuel and oil.

Americas Styrenics (AmSty) declares Force Majeure, suffers temporary loss of production capacity for styrene and ethylbenzene

Company: Americas Styrenics (AmSty)
Location: St. James, Louisiana
Date: April 27, 2022
News source: eChemi.com
Chemicals affected: styrene, ethylbenzene

Americas Styrenics (AmSty), a major North American polystyrene (PS) producer, said on Tuesday that it is conducting a distribution process for its polystyrene products in light of recent production issues and supply chain challenges.

Americas Styrenics (AmSty) confirmed this in a letter to customers on Tuesday, saying it expects to reduce order volumes and limit availability through June. The company said the PS allocation was due to a prolonged reduction in styrene production due to unexpected operational issues at its St. James, Louisiana styrene monomer plant on April 27. Factory issues also led AmSty to declare force majeure on deliveries of its raw materials styrene and ethylbenzene.

Total Energies declares Force Majeure for North American polypropylene production due to lack of additives

Shell declares Force Majeure due to equipment failure, announces maintenance and reduction of crude oil deliveries

Company: Shell
Location: Alberta, Canada
Date: March 9, 2022
News source: Reuters
Chemicals affected: light synthetic crude

Shell (SHEL.L) has issued a force majeure at its 300,000 barrel per day Scotford, Alberta, upgrader in western Canada after a unit at the facility tripped, a company spokesman said on Wednesday.

The plant, which processes oil sands bitumen into light synthetic crude, is also scheduled to start a 65-day maintenance turnaround this month, according to an investor presentation from Canadian Natural Resources Ltd (CNQ.TO), which owns a share of Scotford.

Two trading sources said Shell had cut March deliveries by approximately 20%. One of the sources said the force majeure had been issued last week, but the impact was muted because Scotford’s expected output for March had already been reduced by half because of the turnaround due to start next week.

ExxonMobil shutters Neftegas / Sakhalin-1 operations due to sanctions on Russia

Company: ExxonMobil
Location: Sakhalin Island, Russian Far East
Date: April 27, 2022
News source: RT.com
Chemicals affected: crude oil, used as a base oil for creating diesel engine oil products

Exxon Mobil said on Wednesday its Russian unit Exxon Neftegas has declared force majeure for its Sakhalin-1 operations due to sanctions on Russia that have made it increasingly difficult to ship crude to customers.

The Sakhalin 1 project produces Sokol crude oil off the coast of Sakhalin Island in Russia’s Far East, exporting about 273,000 barrels per day, mainly to South Korea, as well as other destinations including Japan, Australia, Thailand, and the US.

Exxon said on March 1 it would exit about $4 billion in assets and discontinue all its Russia operations, including Sakhalin 1, following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24.

More details about the coming diesel engine oil supply chain crunch across North America

As we reported yesterday in a story entitled, “RED ALERT: Entire U.S. supply of diesel engine oil may be wiped out in 8 weeks… no more oil until 2023 due to “Force Majeure” additive chemical shortages,” the supply chain for additives used in the production and transportation of diesel engine oil is suffering numerous critical shortages:

Chemical manufacturers of diesel engine oil additives have declared force majeure and have ceased supply operations to the diesel engine oil manufacturers. Those manufacturers combine base oils with “additive packages” to create diesel engine oil. You can see a full list of these additives at InfoMak.com:

Antioxidants, anti-corrosion agents, dispersing additives, antirust mechanisms, friction modifiers, EP additives, antifoaming agents, antioxidants, etc.

Without these additives, diesel engine oil manufacturers cannot produce the final oil products that lubricate diesel engines. Because key manufacturers of these additives have ceased operations, diesel engine oil can apparently no longer be produced in the USA, at least not until these necessary chemicals are restored to full supply. This is explained by an industry expert in the following 2-minute video:

“[Oil is] going to become the hottest commodity you’ve ever seen over the next couple of months. Anywhere from the next 4 weeks to 8 weeks, it’s going to go from scarcity to non-existent,” says the man in the video above.

My podcast from yesterday went into more detail about the ramifications of a collapse of diesel engine oil supply in North America:

Brighteon.com/aeef8f40-6235-4290-8018-4c4ce428e3f2

I have since been able to confirm diesel engine oil rationing at a regional supplier in Texas (name withheld) that is telling customers they must limit deliveries due to lack of inventory.

In addition, Natural News contacted a large manufacturer and retailer of diesel engine oil additives, and they confirmed the existence of the supply chain / force majeure problems in a phone text exchange with a Natural News editor. (We are withholding their name because they did not seem interested in attracting attention.)

Why the silence?

The most fascinating thing about this story is that very few people are willing to talk about it. It’s almost as if oil companies are feeling threatened by the illegitimate Biden regime and they are afraid to tell the truth about the coming collapse of diesel engine oil, fearing further punishment from Biden and the Democrats who simultaneously blame oil companies for higher gas prices while demanding oil companies product more fuel at a lower price.

The dangerous insanity of the Biden regime — and its irrational, absurd war on America’s energy infrastructure — likely explains why industry people feel intimidated into silence. But that only makes the problem worse because almost nobody knows what’s coming. Unless this diesel engine oil crisis is resolved soon, nearly all forms of transportation — trucks, trains, ships — will be sidelined before the end of this year, causing unthinkable levels of chaos as grocery stores don’t get stocked, coal doesn’t get delivered to power plants and even UPS and Fedex are forced to sharply reduce deliveries due to lack of engine oil.

A world without diesel engine oil is a collapsed, Mad Max world. It won’t be pretty. Yet pretending this problem doesn’t exist is not going to solve it.

In researching all this, we continue to wonder: Is anybody even trying to solve the diesel engine oil supply chain collapse? Or have we already crossed so deeply into the apathy stage of collapse that nobody cares?

It looks like we’ll soon find out. By our estimates, diesel engine oil should be hitting critical low levels of supply by early September, and that means trucks and trains will be sidelined from September through December, or until somebody finds a way to create the molecules needed for diesel engine oil.

And for those thinking we can just “go green,” you’re forgetting that electric vehicles are charged by coal, and the coal is delivered to power plants by train, and the trains run on diesel engines.

No diesel engines = No electric vehicles.

Somebody tell the greenies how this works, because they still haven’t figured out the basics. Without diesel engines, modern civilization collapses into a 19th century existence, with all the mass starvation, depopulation, lawlessness, chaos and revolutions that you might imagine would go along with such a scenario.

Demolition of supply chains is pre-civil war SABOTAGE to shape the battlefield for domestic WARFARE against We the People

(Natural News) The United States of America is about to be plunged into a civil war. It will be ignited by the imminent Roe vs. Wade nullification decision by the US Supreme Court, which also just rendered a landmark decision affirming the universal right to carry a personal firearm for self-defense (striking down the New York law that radically restricted the right to bear arms).

That pro-2A decision is already seeing heads explode across the anti-American, anti-liberty Left, with rabid left-wing commentator Keith Olbermann even calling for an open insurrection to demolish the US Supreme Court and seize total control over the country via the executive branch.

Once the Roe decision is rendered, the radical Left will erupt into full-blown domestic terrorism, launching unrestricted warfare against Christians, gun owners, and conservatives. What’s coming will make the 2020 BLM and Antifa riots look like child’s play.

The Biden regime knows this is coming, of course, since Barack Obama is the key mastermind behind the whole thing. Obama runs the Biden White House and tells Biden’s handlers what to do. They shaped the 2020 riots using paid mercenaries, media propaganda, and “color revolution” tactics routinely used by the CIA to overthrow governments of other nations. Now they plan to use the same tactics to overthrow the US Constitution and attempt to seize permanent dictatorial control over the United States of America.

Sabotage of food and energy infrastructure is pre-war “shaping the battlefield” activity

The sabotage of food facilities across the United States is deliberate. We have published the full, current list of food facility sabotage here.

Similarly, the sabotage attacks, regulatory takedowns and cyber warfare assaults on energy infrastructure are also being carried out by the regime in order to deprive the people of fuel and transportation. As we have recently published, the entire supply of diesel engine oil in the United States is on track to be depleted in just 8 weeks (roughly the end of August).

Diesel fuel and Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) are also experiencing supply chain failures in America right now.

Natural News also exclusively researched and published a list of the diesel fuel and diesel engine oil additive manufacturers who have declared force majeure just this year, causing extreme supply chain disruptions.

In addition, there are known explosions at LNG facilities (such as Freeport in Texas) and a history of pipe explosions targeting refineries, such as the Philadelphia Energy Solutions explosion in 2019 that bankrupted the entire company and shuttered its fuel refinery.

What’s clear is that America’s food and energy infrastructure is being disrupted by sabotage/blockade operations that are acts of war against the American people. This is almost identical to the way Lithuania is now running a railway blockade of Russia’s access to Kaliningrad.

What’s also clear is that the Obama / Biden regime is using sabotage operations to shape the domestic battlefield in preparation for the coming civil war. And by “civil war,” I don’t mean an 1865-style war of North vs. South. This is going to be a war of the corrupt, illegitimate government regime against the American people who are trying to vote these criminals out of power. Roughly 75% of Americans now despise the Biden regime and want Biden removed. The upcoming midterm elections — if they are even allowed to take place — will solidly demonstrate America’s desire to rid itself of the disastrous Biden regime and the catastrophic economic policies of Democrats (which have led to record-high inflation and supply chain shortages).

That’s why we believe the Obiden regime doesn’t want to allow America to make it to the midterm elections. They want total chaos and martial law before that day arrives. They want their left-wing brownshirt terrorists in the streets, burning down cities, assaulting police, and executing whites on sight, so the regime can declare a state of

emergency and deploy troops on the streets of America, likely combined with some effort to try to nullify the Second Amendment and confiscate guns from everyone.

That effort is going to fail.

The Obiden regime has acted too late. The American people will no longer comply with tyranny and sabotage. We the People will not turn in our guns, and we will not obey orders to shut down our local economies and stay locked in our homes.

But the arrogant, incompetent Obiden regime doesn’t know that yet. They think they are still in charge. They think the American people will go along with whatever new insane scheme they can dream up to enslave everybody and demolish the Bill of Rights. They are wrong. But they will try to conquer the country from within, setting off a civil war scenario that will likely see real bloodshed across the USA.

Unless Biden is removed from power and the rightful winner of the 2020 election is restored (Donald J. Trump), Democrat-run cities will soon collapse into total chaos. Mass starvation will become commonplace. The rule of law will be non-existent in these areas. We will see Democrat refugees fleeing collapsing blue cities and trying to flee to red states, but there will be border enforcement by the states (like Texas and Florida) prohibiting domestic “illegals” from invading the red states as they flee the blue states.

Ultimately, the Demonrats are going to be defeated and humanity will prevail. The Dems just don’t know it yet, and they overestimate their ally Satan, while the real power to decide our fate rests in the hands of God (who has just about had enough of Satan trying to dominate humanity on Earth).

Biden Issues Fascist-style Threats to Oil Companies

Biden Issues Fascist-style Threats to Oil Companies

BY STEVE BYAS

SEE: https://thenewamerican.com/biden-issues-fascist-style-threats-to-oil-companies/;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

Wednesday’s interview between Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and CNN anchor John Berman — in which they discussed the letter that President Biden recently sent to several major oil companies — powerfully illustrates the fascist economic views Biden harbors.

“At a time of war, refinery profit margins well above normal being passed directly onto American families are not acceptable,” Biden said in his letter to the executives of British Petroleum, Chevron, Marathon Petroleum, Phillips 66, Shell, Valero Energy, and Exxon Mobil. “There is no question,” Biden asserted in the letter, “that Vladimir Putin is principally responsible for the intense financial pain the American people and their families are bearing. But amid a war that has raised gasoline prices more than $1.70 per gallon, historically high refinery profit margins are worsening that pain.”

Ominously, Biden threatened to use “emergency authorities” if the companies do not follow his dictates. “Your companies and others have an opportunity to take immediate actions to increase the supply of gasoline, diesel, and other refined products you are producing,” Biden wrote. “My administration is prepared to use all reasonable and appropriate Federal Government tools and emergency authorities to increase refinery capacity and output in the near term, and to ensure that every region of this country is appropriately supplied.”

This is economic fascism.

It’s true that “fascist” is thrown around far too loosely in today’s political discourse, but, economically speaking, fascism is a form of socialism. (Adolf Hitler’s party was known as the National Socialist Party, and the systems in Italy under Benito Mussolini’s Fascist government and in Germany under Hitler were very similar.)

Under socialism, the government owns the means of production, whereas, under a fascist economic system, the government generally leaves ownership of businesses in private hands, but dictates prices and wages, hours, production levels, and even what is produced. In other words, as a business owner, you might retain title to your business, but the government tells you how to run your business. What Biden is threatening is certainly not free enterprise.

Biden is not the only American president who has threatened American business owners who did not comply with governmental dictates. For example, President John F. Kennedy bullied United States Steel to lower its prices in the early 1960s. During the administration of President Jimmy Carter, Congress passed the “Windfall Profits Tax” to punish oil companies for making what were considered too high profits.

Just recently, Biden issued an executive order under the Defense Production Act for American companies to use more production resources to increase the supply of baby formula. Of course, the policies of the federal government created the low supply of baby formula in the first place. Be that as it may, Biden used a law that was passed during the administration of President Harry Truman to allow the president to order private businesses to shift resources during a time of war. Such a takeover of private business is bad enough during wartime, but in Biden’s case, there was no war. The only action that government really needs to take to increase the production of a good that is in high demand is to get out of the way. Businesses are in business to make money. No one has to tell them to increase production when there are people who want to buy their product.

When Ronald Reagan became president in 1981, gasoline prices were quite high. He almost immediately used a law Congress had passed previously to end federal government control of oil prices. Oil companies raised prices at first and quickly increased production, which, as anyone with an elementary knowledge of economics understands, soon brought prices at the gas pump down for American consumers. Reagan did not threaten oil companies; he simply got out of their way.

In this present case, Biden is not only taking the opposite approach, he is being hypocritical.

As CNN anchor Berman told Granholm on his program New Day, the Biden administration has “made it clear from day one they want to transition America from reliance upon oil and gas, and they have even celebrated the current gas price crisis for accelerating that transition. But how can you simultaneously demonize oil companies and demand more oil production?”

In fact, John Kerry, Biden’s special envoy for climate, said just last week that “energy security worry is driving” the thinking that there is a need for additional drilling and for going “back to coal.” However, Kerry made it clear that he does not want additional drilling.

“No we don’t. We absolutely don’t,” Kerry insisted, adding, “we have to prevent a false narrative from entering into this.”

Bluntly put, it was the policies enacted by Biden and Kerry, coupled with sanctions on Russian oils and gas, that have caused the spike in oil and gasoline prices, not anything the big oil companies or Vladimir Putin have done. Some speculate that these policies were enacted because the Biden administration wants oil prices to go up so high that Americans will be willing to shift from gasoline and diesel to electric vehicles — all in the name of fighting “climate change.”

Berman asked Granholm, “Five years from now, 10 years from now, are you telling me you want them drilling for more oil? You want the refineries putting out more gasoline in five or 10 years?” Berman added, “Why would oil companies invest in producing more oil if such an investment will be turned to waste in just a few years?”

This is not a question of whether automobiles should be run by gasoline or electricity. The free market will make that decision. If electric cars become practical and affordable for the masses, then consumers will willingly switch over to them, away from petroleum-based energy.

But the Biden administration has decided that the federal government should simply dictate that transition, regardless of market considerations. That is economic fascism. And in this case, blaming oil companies, and threatening them, for a policy that they did not create, is the height of hypocrisy.

America plunging into third world status as police run out of fuel and say they won’t respond to 911 calls because of gas prices

BY ETHAN HUFF

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

(Natural News) Thanks to the Biden regime’s destructive economic policies that have resulted in record inflation, the Isabella County Sheriff’s Department in Michigan has announced that it no longer has the resources available to respond to 911 calls because of fuel costs.

The current gas price average in America is hovering around $5 and rising, and is slightly higher on average in Michigan. Because of this, the Isabella County Sheriff’s Department has already “blown through [their] fuel budget” and will have to respond to some 911 calls over the phone rather than show up in person.

In a few months when a new fuel budget is passed, perhaps Isabella County will receive the resources it needs to deal with emergencies in a proper manner. But until then, area residents will have to fend for themselves – or perhaps wake up and demand that the occupying regime stop destroying the country.

The below video explains more about the current situation in Michigan and the impact it is having on local residents:

America is fast becoming the land of rampant lawlessness

This is only just the start of what the Biden regime has in store for this country, by the way. It starts with one county, followed by another county until eventually, the entire country is no longer functional.

When the situation becomes untenable, then and only then will the tyrants that caused it all in the first place suddenly intervene as the saviors with their planned solution to the problem: a new world order.

Some third-world countries such as Sri Lanka are already seeing hell unfold due to the current economic crisis. Eventually, the United States is going to catch up with them.

We are already seeing a taste of this in Michigan, and things are not even that bad. Just wait until the average American can no longer afford to drive, or the delivery trucks stop arriving at grocery stores because they cannot afford to fill up with diesel.

To solely blame Biden and his regime would be a mistake, though, as the country’s entire economic system was corrupted long ago, allowing it to blow up like a balloon. This is where the term “everything bubble” came from, as it describes inflationary economic policies that at some point have to burst.

Right now, the U.S. is entering what appears to be the hyperinflationary stage, which will be followed by a collapse of the fiat currency system and the disintegration of the economy as we currently know it.

“What a great time to be a criminal in America,” wrote someone at The Gateway Pundit about how lawlessness is taking over the country at breakneck speed.

“Police in Seattle don’t investigate sexual assaults, this county in the story may not respond to your 911 call, San Francisco (and most other large cities) are a good source of goods you can get for free and sell on eBay. No wonder no one is working … you don’t have to clock in and out for those smash and grabs … you can do them on your own schedule.”

Another wrote that in Washington, it is now illegal for police officers to pursue anyone whom they believe to be a criminal unless they have probable cause to believe that a crime was committed.

“This standard is much more stringent than the reasonable suspicion standard and pretty much means that if a cop doesn’t actually witness a crime, he can’t pursue a suspect,” this person added.
