Rant Lite Today’s rant examines scenarios for the escalating War for Oil in the Middle East.				Quote of the Day Revelation 6:8  And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

World War III over in the M.E. has ratcheted its way up here quite a bit in the last couple of days.  Dominoes are falling fast and furious now. 

Unlike in Egypt, el-Kabong has shown he isn’t going to exit stage left quietly, and while the MSM tiptoes around the subject saying “Libya MIGHT descend into Civil War”, the truth is apparent, there is ALREADY a full on Civil War going on there. 

Obama-sama has declared “Nothing is off the Table”, and they are floating the idea of arming the rebel forces.  Now exactly who to and how they will issue Assault Rifles and RPGs to isn’t  exactly clear.  Does a Container Ship pull up at the dock and Libyan Towel Heads line up for an issue of Guns and Ammo?  Do they pay for the Ammo or we just hand it out for free?  Nobody is handing me free Ammo!  I am paying through the nose for it here!  These folks live on $2 a day.  How many rounds can you buy for $2 in Libya? 

Then there are the Limeys and the Frogs, the ones most strenuously pushing for a “No Fly Zone” to be established over Libya.  This because apparently for the Brits the boys at the London School of Economics were in bed with el-Kabong, and they are probably looking at losing a shit load of money here if they cannot protect their assets.  For the Frogs, I suspect they along with the Ities get most of the shipments of Libyan Oil, its right across the Mediterranean Sea.  They are getting hit first and hardest with the supply loss, which they have to try to make up from other sources, but this is pretty hard to do when all the other sources are having problems producing also and what they do produce already has been contracted for. 

So, on the Gas shortages/lines/rationing problem, the Ities and the Frogs look like they will be the first Western Countries hit.  I don’t know if either of those countries maintain any kind of SPR.  Labor strikes have already hit the Frogs, if they start having trouble getting gas, France is going to be in the deep doo-doo very quickly.  So these folks want to shut down the Libyan Civil War ASAP and get those Oil Wells producing quickly. 

So if you figure its hitting them first, they should be the ones who sign up a bunch more Mercs for the French Foreign Legion to head over to Libya to guard the Oil Wells.  Both the French and the Brits have plenty of their own Jets, and you don’t even need an Aircraft Carrier, you can sortie the Jets straight out of an airbase in Sicily.  Its only about 300 nautical miles across the Med Sea for them to Bomb Tripoli back to the Stone Age.  So if any Western Countries are about to drop in on this Clusterfuck, one suspects the Brits and the French will be the first to do so. 

While the Civil War has been spinning up, the Refugee issue is getting rapidly bigger.  Just yesterday I read in the MSM the Spin that the refugee issue was not too bad, 100K or so on the borders of Algeria and Egypt.  Today, the number was jacked up an order of magnitude to 1M.  “Humanitarian Crisis” has hit the pages of the MSM.  An HC is ALWAYS the excuse for a UN “Peacekeeping” Force to be dropped into a War Zone.  So I am figuring the UN is negotiating to set up Refugee Camps in Egypt and Algeria, where they will then drop in a shit load of French and Brit Mercs, using these refugee camps as a staging ground for sending in counterinsurgency Special Ops  to try and Capture/Kill el-Kabong. They clearly have to try this before trying to stage up a massive INVASION with Tanks, the hope being if they can come out with el-Kabong’s Head on a Pike, the Rabble will calm down and they can then Restore Order.  Trying alternatively to restore order here by Brute Force will take a LOT of military assets.  Just think about all those WWII Tank Battles in North Africa between Patton, Montgomery and Rommel.  This is a BIG patch of land to try to control this way. 

The question here is just how well prepped is el-Kabong?  How much fuel does he have stored up for his Jets?  How many MREs does he have sequestered to dish out to his “Loyal” troops?  How good a Bunker did he build with his Oil Billions?  Is it better than Hitler’s Bunker?  I’ll bet it is.  Probably has its own Micro Nuke Hitachi Power Plant buried and a deep well drilled down to the water table left over from the Jurrasic Period, 50 years worth of Mountain House Freeze Dried Food and an Underground Hydroponic Farm for growing produce into the next century. LOL. 

Even if he just has an average Bunker though, its unlikely that unless he makes a HUGE mistake and gets caught out in the open making a Speech that the Mossad will be able to take him out quickly.  How LONG can he keep his war machine rolling with fuel and ammo?  Can he hold his OWN Oil fields Hostage, and threaten the Brits and Frogs that if they try to get him he will blow the wells to Kingdom Come?  El-Kabong is CLEARLY psycho enough to do this, you would have to believe he would do it. 

Meanwhile, over in Saudi Arabia, its heating up fast as well.  Despite the Diktat from the House of Saud that all demonstrations are Illegal under Sharia Law and political opponents being arrested and tortured willy nilly, there is a big Demonstration planned for Friday, and I suspect this will get the ball really rolling in Saudi Arabia as well.  The Saudi Royalty has been watching all the shit go down all around them, so I cannot see them tolerating any kind of large demonstration.  If there is one, I suspect the Saudis will go in and hit them hard and fast.  This won’t work to stop the problem, it will make it worse and then Saudi Arabia goes down the same road as Libya.  I certainly cannot see the House of Saud picking up and leaving quietly like the Hoser did from Egypt.  Like el-Kabong, those Sheiks know if they cannot hold onto Power there, they are FINISHED, all their wealth goes Bye-Bye as the “Authorities” at the BIS freeze all their accounts.  They’ll be back to Camel driving. 

So, bottom line here, possibly in as short a time span as one month or so from RIGHT NOW,  we could see along with Libya in full on Civil War, Saudi Arabia in much the same predicament.  This basically completes the path of Anarchy and War stretching from Morocco in North Africa all the way across to Pakistan, easily triple the geographical area of Europe in WWII.  This by itself is World War, but does not even take into account the shit going on between the Koreas, the shit going on in Chechnya, and the shit going on down on the Mexican Border, along with all the shit going down in Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia et al.  Its WORLD WAR III folks, its here.  So far YOU are still somewhat insulated from this anarchy, but its Coming Soon to a Theatre Near You in some fashion. 

What will the “fashion” be that the Big Show comes to your Theatre?  Well, remembering back to WWII, the Battles all occurred over in Europe and North Africa and China and in the Pacific Islands.  We did not get Bombed over here, but we did have serious rationing.  At the moment, for the most part it looks like that scenario gets repeated, but as I indicated in a prior post, it looks to be worse rationing this time because we do not have our own local supply of Oil in sufficient quantity to keep all the systems developed since running and we have a much larger population. 

The Austerity required this time around here in the FSofA to support the War Machine I think will be too great for the society to bear, and so as this progresses we also will break down into Civil War.  This isn’t going to happen overnight, its still likely a couple of years away.  Still, you have to remember that down in Mexico they are already about in full anarchy as Cantarell stops producing, and this can only mean the border issues down in TX and AZ will increase.  If/when we start having Blackouts/Brownouts in the Big Shities, the FSA in these Shities will take the opportunity to start Looting.  Mad Max commences shortly thereafter.  Forget subsisting on Grasshoppers and Mealworms, if you expect to survive in the Big Shities, you will need to develop a taste for Human Flesh.  Stock up plenty of Curry, all meat tastes the same when Curried, just ask any Chef in an Indian Restaurant.  Cats, Dogs, Mice, 4^th Grade Children, Nursing Home residents, whatever, you cannot tell the difference when you load it up with Curry. If/when we get Soylent Green, its about guaranteed it will be flavored with Curry. 

Time is definitely RUNNING OUT now to make your ESCAPE.  I do not recommend you try to escape outside the borders of the FSofA unless you have contacts and some connection to people wherever it is you are planning on evacuating to and you fit in racially, ethnically and religiously with the dominant population of the area.  Do not head for South America unless you speak FLUENT Spanish and/or Portuguese and can pass as Hispanic.  Do not head for Asia unless you speak FLUENT Mandarin and are at least half Han Chinese.  If you are a White, the only places you should head for are the ones where Whites are dominant.  Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Iceland, Finland, the Falkland Islands, Norway, Tasmania, Tristan de Cunha-Edinburgh of the Seven Seas are about the ONLY places I would ever consider as reasonable to try to evacuate to if you were going to leave the FSofA as a White Person.  Britain is OUT.  Britain is TOAST.  The Sun has SET on the British Empire and the little island they Ruled the World from for a while.  Ireland might be survivable. 

Inside the borders of the FSofA, Numero Uno BEST location for White Folks, ALASKA!!!  Ranked in order on the FSofA Top Ten RE Doomer Holes List: 

1)      Matanuska-Susitna River Valley, Alaska

2)      Juneau/Ketchikan Alaska

3)      The Valley of the Great Salt Lake, Rocky Mountains Utah (especially if you are a Mormon)

4)      Cascade Mountains, Oregon,Washington

5)      Ozarks Mountains, Missouri and Arkansas

6)      Tennessee Valley, Smokey Mountains

7)      Shenandoah Valley, Poconos Mountains

8)      Adirondack Mountains, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire

9)      White Mountains, New Hampshire, Maine

10)  Louisiana Bayou (if you are OK with Sweating all the time)

You can buy some raw land CHEAP in many of these places right now (though not as cheap as it will be in the future, but if you have the money and want to secure the purchase now the prices are not too bad).  A good purchase would be Raw Land bordering on a National Park. Much as I do not believe in Land Ownership for myself, I bought 20 Acres bordering on Mark Twain National Forest and put it in my Grand Nephew’s Name. Used about half my 401K when I cashed out to make that purchase.  He is only 5 years old, but unlike his Dad my Nephew, he has no Debts encumbering him.  The Banksters do not Own him yet. He OWNS that land under our current Goobermint and Property Ownership system, Free & Clear. I’ll pay the Taxes on it long as I can, it is unimproved hunting land and the taxes are low.  My family in Missouri can pack up and go there if things get tough. I have hammered down on them for the last 3 years to Prep Up and be ready to move, I can only hope they will when it becomes necessary, I am too far away otherwise to make a difference for them.  As it is, they aren’t in a bad zone, Springfield MO is a small city surrounded by a lot of working Farms, I think Springfield will do OK for a while.  My Brother-in-Law is a Tool & Die Man, and his company got a contract to supply plumbing fixtures for the building going up on the old WTC site in NYC.  Should keep the company going a few more years if the monetary system does not crap out completely. Call me a Hypocrite if you like for doing this, for taking some of my Illuminati Money and BUYING land, but this IS the system and its not changing this minute, so I might as well get rid of the Fiat this way, eh? WTF else would I do with the money anyhow?  Buy GOLD? Sorry, I don’t need a new Paperweight and besides, I can always go out and pan up some more, it just takes a lot of patience to do it and you get very little each day, but good grief, when its price goes up to $1500/oz, any idiot with a pan can pull up that much in a month of work by a good stream.  Tedious work, but not as bad as flipping burgers at Mickey Ds, and while you do it you can ponder on the nature of existence, quite like when you go Ice Fishing. It’s not stressful, very relaxing actually. 

Of course, you also can only do it for 3 or 4 months or so after the spring thaw, it’s not year-round work.  I expect though that if the Gold price continues to skyrocket, this summer there will be a LOT of Panners out there. LOL.  I am actually considering taking the summer off this year just to Pan, Fish and Hunt.  Probably won’t do it, but I am considering it. Another alternative I am considering for the summer is touring Doomstead locations in NZ and British Columbia, and maybe making a last trip to Europe before it devolves into complete anarchy (assuming that has not already occurred by June). Another alternative I am considering is taking one last Gas Consumptive Tour of the NA Continent, driving from the Mat Valley across the Al-Can and all the way back to my birthplace in NYC.  If it looks like the gas is going to be available for that trip at anything under $5/gallon, I might go for it.  Visit tent cities, check out the real stories across the nation.  Perhaps make some speeches and talk from the pulpit of some Unitarian Churches across the country.  I still have decent connections with the Unitarians, it’s the “religion” I was brought up under. If I use the Bugout Machine for it, it probably costs $10K in fuel.  There is REAL Hypocrisy for you if I do that one. LOL.  But Hell, I am gonna die soon enough anyhow, and the 2000 gallons of gas I use to make this trip isn’t going to make a damn bit of difference anyhow globally speaking, so WTF.  I think it would be a decent utility of the fuel and my money, to chronicle what I see and write about it.  Anyhow, I will decide come around May what I will do this summer. Call this Doomer Vacation Planning.

Anyhow, I have drifted quite a bit in this Rant off the main topic of the evolution of WWIII we are witnessing.  I really do not see at this point how anyone could make the case that WWIII is not already in progress when you look at what is currently going on in the M.E.  At this MOMENT, it is not really affecting directly most of us here in the FSofA, but it most CERTAINLY is affecting millions if not BILLIONS of people across the M.E. countries. All of these countries are LOADED with the weapons of the Industrial War Machine, in order to Maintain Power Puppets like el-Kabong and the Saudi Sheiks have spent a FORTUNE in Oil money buying the tools of high tech warfare, from the assault rifles to the helicopter gunships to the jets.  The system is coming apart at the seams, and now these weapons will be used, one way or the other. It is getting ugly out there NOW, and it is Coming Soon to a Theatre Near You. 

See you on the Other Side.
