Guest Post by Jim Kunstler
The way financial markets puked this week, they must have started reading the news. Let’s face it, the headlines are a little short of reassuring. The $6.49 price on a gallon of diesel is enough alone to tell you that the nation can’t do business the way it’s set up to do, and there isn’t a new model for running things ready to launch — not even Klaus Schwab’s utopia of robots and eunuchs.
What’s out there, rather, is a model of breakdown and collapse which the Woked-up, globalist neo-Jacobins are doing everything possible to hasten. US-inspired sanctions on Russia have quickly blown-up in America’s face. How’s that ban on Russian oil working? Do you understand that US shale oil — the bulk of our production — is exceptionally light in composition, meaning it contains not much of the heavier distillates like diesel and aviation fuel? ‘Tis so, alas. Truckers just won’t truck at $6.49-a-gallon, and before long they’ll be out of business altogether, especially the independents who have whopping mortgages on their rigs that won’t be paid. The equation is tearfully simple: no trucks = no US economy.
Europe, the old original homeland of Western Civ, isn’t just losing face, it’s blowing its head clean off going along with “Joe Biden’s” economic war. Are Germany, France, and the rest of that bunch really so dead-set on jamming Ukraine into NATO that they’re willing to go full medieval for it? By which I mean sitting in the cold and dark with empty plates. That’s a hard way to go just to prove somebody else’s point.
The war in Ukraine itself was apparently losing its sex appeal for the click-hungry news media. No matter which way The New York Times and friends tried to spin it, they failed to grok both Russia’s determination to neutralize Ukraine and its ability to get the job done, even if it takes a longer-than-expected grind to finish. That’s how important it was to Russia that Ukraine not become a forward missile base and bio-weapons lab for its adversaries. When that operation concludes, the West will be left economically crippled and humiliated — which are conditions that historically portend regime change. Will America cough up “Joe Biden” like a hairball to get those trucks running again? Might the Dems themselves resort to releasing the kraken known as Hunter’s laptop just to send the old grifter packing?
In the meantime, the leaked Roe v Wade cancellation ruling shoved the Ukraine fiasco offstage so as to provoke more useful histrionics for the dreaded midterm elections upcoming. The poorly-understood truth is that said ruling will only send the abortion question back to the individual states. But let’s get real: places like New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, and California are not going to enact any new anti-abortion laws, and that’s where most of the people having hebephrenic breakdowns over the issue live. Which is to say there’s little danger that the shrieking denizens of these Blue states will lack abortions. So, how much has the party only been pretending that Roe v Wade is its primal touchstone?
The strange parallel question has been raised: might laizzez-fair abortion be a cover for the evident new problem that Covid-19 vaccines have made a shocking number of birthing people incapable of reproducing? There’s a buzz about it, anyway. It’s a fact that Pfizer excluded pregnant and breastfeeding women from all phases of its mRNA trials. Among the various harms now ascribed to the mRNA shots are infertility, miscarriage, and newborn abnormalities. But, of course, that sort of rumor — in this case coming from cases among vaccinated military personnel and not so easily hushed up — is just what the many lurking censors want to slap down in any forum where ideas could be exchanged. It’s misinformation!
And so, the derangement volume knob over Twitter changing ownership stays up at eleven. Imagine what will happen if the supposedly 70-odd percent of Americans who got vaxxed learn in a re-liberated Twitter Zone that the Covid-19 vaccines are not “safe and effective.” According to Zero Hedge, twenty-six globalist NGOs with ties to George Soros signed a letter saying, “Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter will further toxify our information ecosystem and be a direct threat to public safety, especially among those already most vulnerable and marginalized.”
They are, as usual, projecting — since what is a greater threat to public safety than inducing tens of millions of frightened citizens to accept multiple shots of a poorly-tested pharmaceutical cocktail that can kill you six ways to Sunday? The folks in-charge (and others who would like to be the boss-of-you) don’t want you to know any of this. The pharma companies, the doctors, the hospital administrators, and the politicians must be frantic with terror of being found out.
Altogether, the scene looks like a multi-dimensional nightmare. Broken economy… sinking Western Civ… police state tyranny… vaccine death and injury… starvation…. So, there it is. Oh, look, those markets… they’re puking again!

Prediction: Market Crash in 3,2,1
saying something that’s already happening is not a prediction.
A lot of the reports tend to mix metrics. One market is down 900 basis points, while the other is down 2.3 percent. This is intentionally confusing.
Anyway, nothing has crashed more than 5 percent yet, so I have yet to get excited or alarmed (not sure how I should feel about it).
For me, a crash would be a minimum of 20 percent, and cratering would be more along the lines of 40 percent.
Less than 5 percent seems like mild volatility…
I’d gladly take 6% like simple savings paid when I was a kid. Even 3%. I guess some folks got it figured out. IMO , 401k or IRA “savings” , may as well shoot craps. “Savings” , deceiving. People that try to save have been raked over the coals.
When you think about the inflation of the money supply those ain’t “savings.”
The main cause of inflation and so many people ignore it.
The money supply? The basis of your point is fiat, meaning “does not have any intrinsic value as it is not backed by a physical commodity and is usually made of a worthless or low-value material (such as a small piece of paper)”. The flaw here is thinking of it as “savings” as opposed to preservation of value.
We’re well on our way. The S&P and DOW are both down over 10% YTD and technology (NAS) is down over 20%. If this isn’t the start of the crash, it will do until the real crash gets here.
The stock market could cease tomorrow but there is no reason for businesses to cease. Production can continue, farming, transportation, everything. To use the market as the be all end all has been foolish ever since men learned how to screw their fellow man out of their wealth with stock schemes and scams.
“..is exceptionally light in composition, meaning it contains not much of the heavier distillates like diesel and aviation fuel?”
But it is PRIME for pharmaceuticals manufacturing and plastics from what i’ve read. Burn-off the natural gas? No biggie.
Always appreciate learning a new word…hebephrenic
[hebephrenic]
DEFINITION
adjective form of hebephrenia
he·be·phre·ni·a
[ˌhēbəˈfrēnēə]
NOUN
a form of chronic schizophrenia involving disordered thought, inappropriate emotions, hallucinations, and bizarre behavior.
Greatful that you only mentioned ‘elections’ in passing, as if the act of voting will ever stop the current trajectory.
hebephrenic …… when a Hebe Jew goes into a phrenzy just before he dies …. see, “Zelenskii”
Nailed it
While I am not a Jew hater, that was funny.
fake Hebe Jew… FIFY
Thanks for the lesson Anon – it’s a new word to me too.
Quite welcome. Not going into another long post, suffice to say that 50¢ words stared out as a defense mechanism, but my logophile (lover of words) tendencies have served me well. Try to use plain english as much as possible, but i have giggled inwardly at various people, over time, who have tried to baffle me with their words.
Don’t judge a book by its cover…both sides of that fence.
I try to avoid Latin-rooted words where possible in favour of Anglo Saxon ones. But they are not always descriptive enough which causes me to fall back on Latin and Greek, which secretly, I really do prefer!
The language has been destroyed anyhow. Gay people are miserable, liberals are tyrants, progressives are from the feudal age, woke people are delusional, democrats are monarchists and republicans are cowards. Did I cover all bases? If this doesn’t get me a down vote, nothing will.
I agree – I am speaking about ‘weasel words’ in my Letter today. All you quote are misnomers. It is so prevalent that meanings have been lost which is yet another psycho-weapon the elites are using.
Republicans are knaves
Question to an expert.. Is it proper to label the majority of Democrats as a “Degenerate Sodomite”??
…or their ardent supporters. It all amounts to the same thing. There is no fence straddling on this issue as far as I’m concerned.
Morality isn’t a fashion statement. It’s a life style. You either live a moral life or you don’t. That applies no matter your definition of “morality”.
“What’s done in the dark shall be brought to the light. Sooner or later, God’s gonna cut you down.” – Johnny Cash
So for purposes of simplification, hebephrenic can be defined as “DEMOCRAT”.
Any ONE of those things could be fixed. But, ALL of them at ONE TIME?? Nope. We have passed The Point Of No Return.
We are actually seeing The End Of (American) Empire. Dementia impersonation: “Not a joke, man.”
And many Christian folk are convinced this is the generation which will see The End Of This Age. They might be right.
“And many Christian folk are convinced this is the generation which will see The End Of This Age.”
oh they always think that. for 2000 years every century or so there’s a spastic explosion in the christian world that “this is the end times!” it’s a feature.
if the world economy crashes and 2/3 of the world’s population dies, by historical standards that’s just yet another hard time.
oh, I know. I added the “They might be right” comment for 2 reasons; 1) garner thumbs up from the Pretrib crowd and, 2) to avoid being told I am going straight to hell by the rest.
And not all apocalyptic events are The Apocalypse.
I suspect that we are watching the same kind of civilizational collapse that ended the Bronze age civilization.
Everything is too interconnected and too interdependent.
World wide supply chains and just in time shipping have created a fragile and inelastic, brittle world wide interdependent economy.
A catabolic collapse looks to be occurring and one it hits critical mass it will be an unstoppable end of the age.
All Very Planned ala The Kalergi Plan and Operation Lockstep.Peterdavidbetwr.org Patriots4Truth.org. educateyourself.org Truth11.com.Create strengthen and participate in local economy as many have suggested for Decades.Compartmentalize activities such as economic transactions using different systems means and protocols.Dont order everything from crapazon or wokemart buy or barter locally or make what u need,Oldschool.Greasecar tech displaces diesel in many cases look it up.Milwaukee had a club focussed on using filtered used cooking oil for their cars or tractors.Hydrogen has been used for years as vehicle energy source.richaedlighthouse.com and dr.judywoods.org.citizenwells.com.Ukraine has been a key moneylaundering center and human trafficking hub as qell as weapons and. Drug trade locale.There are many d.u.m.b.s there which had many tortured children.All is a distraction and illusion.Ensouled lovung Humans need to close ranks and look Very carefully around.Namaste!!!
(laugh) good thinking.
Are you getting soft? Since when do you care what anyone thinks?
You’ve got to be pretty arrogant to think that a.) I’d fall for your feeble attempt to manipulate me into voting for you, and b.) that you think I even care if you go to hell or not.
If you’re just here for the votes you’re already a lost cause AND part of the problem.
Try being just a little self aware and a lot less self absorbed.
For the very young, and ESPECIALLY those who are just now becoming ‘Aware’, i hope You are correct. But You gotta admit, things ain’t looking to good for the Home Team.
Besides, ONLY the Father knows.
Like Spengler used to say: It’s not the end of the world. It’s just the end of you.
“The world will still be turning when you’re gone … yeah, when you’re gone.”
Black Sabbath ~ Vol 4, “Wheels of Confusion” (1972)
World Gov 1.0(Tower of Babel) did not turn out too well. The outcome of World Gov 2.0 I expect will have the same(in an anti-typical way) outcome(time of trouble such as world has never seen). As for timing, in a general sense, certain things will have to be in place. Just to name one thing has come to fruition in my lifetime(born 1963) is noted @ Isa 3:9. What kind of coincidence theorist would have known that was going to happen? Luke 17:28 hints at the same matter. Just another coincidence I’m sure.
is 3:9 – “The expression of their faces testifies against them,
And they display their sin like Sodom;
They do not even conceal it.
Woe to them!”
luke 17:28 – “It was the same as happened in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, and they were building;”
? nothing unusual or noteworthy about either of these, could be said of any time in human history.
Don’t worry, it’s coming whether you believe it or not.
The Rapture will be the hinge pin that sets the world reeling into the coming NWO and reign of the strongman beast.
Whether one believes it or not all true believers in Jesus will be raptured out pre wrath and pre 7 year 70th Week of Daniel.
For all the naysayers pre Darby pre apostle Paul alllllllll the way back to the first 6 chapters of the old Testament.
Two solid pictures or prophetic types of pre trib rapture.
Noah and his family were lifted up above and out of God’s judgment and wrath on a wicked unbelieving world to be brought safely back down to earth post judgement.
Enoch was born on the feast of weeks or Pentecost as was the Church of Jesus and he was taken up or raptured on the feast of weeks or Pentecost pre judgement of Noah’s flood.
If the Rapture is to prophetically fulfill a Jewish festival it will be the feast of weeks or Pentecost at least 7 years prior to Jesus second coming 2000 years after His crucifixion, resurrection and the birthday of His church.
All world events are currently lining up perfectly. Why not this coming Pentecost?
For all who miss it and are left behind It’s a small club and you’re not in it. Don’t forget to wear your brown britches.
His second coming will be on the feast of trumpets.
near as I can figure, christians are just as self-centered as any pagan, they just hide it within “end times” theology – their end gets transmogrified into THE END.
“might laizzez-fair abortion be a cover for the evident new problem that Covid-19 vaccines have made a shocking number of birthing people incapable of reproducing?”
How does that even make sense? One is voluntary, one is involuntary. If they wanted to cover up vaccine induced miscarriages they would want as many abortions as possible to obfuscate the numbers and create a plausible (if not total) explanation as to why there have been less births. Outlawing abortions only thrusts that number further into the spotlight.
It is pretty simple.
When the ho’s stop needing abortions, and planned barrenhood goes bankrupt, the effects of the jab will be blamed…unless Roe v Wade is overturned. Then, the blame can be put where it deserves – on the Hateful Christian Right! /s
“Will America cough up “Joe Biden” like a hairball to get those trucks running again?”
“hebephrenic breakdowns” ???
You gotta love JHK’s bi-weekly diatribes. I look forward to Mondays and Fridays, and I think you should too.
Extreme situations call for extreme solutions. Biden is nothing more than a mob leader. He says nothing while Democrat filth launch anti-Catholic diatribes and dox the home addresses of Supreme Court Justices.. They are calling for attacks and demonstrations at Pro-Life churches on Mother’s Day and no one in his regime says anything. Biden, his scum children and family are a hairball and we will not survive without them being coughed up, tried and sentenced.
biden is not in charge of anything. “coughing him up” won’t solve anything, the ones behind all this will simply push another stooge forward for you to focus on.
like kamala. imagine her as president. it’ll be hilarious, if you can get past the whole america-in-decline thing ….
Shoot him, anyway.
You are undoubtedly correct. The saving grace would be an opportunity to observe to the extent possible who is pushing the next stooge forward. Find Thoreau’s root and strike it good and hard.
“observe to the extent possible who is pushing”
oh everyone already knows, they don’t say it because they’re afraid of being called naazi’s.
Nazis are cool now according to the neocon warmongers. They even have a new bird, the Zionazi in Ukraine. I don’t see how this stuff can get any weirder, but I bet it will.
Cue the former California Speaker Willie Brown interview in 3-2-1……..
He gets to decide it’s going to be Vanilla or Chocolate Tapioca pudding while he watches Cuties.
H-R… Dont forget hung by the neck until dead.
Now the Biden forces are encouraging attacks on Supreme Court Justices…which is treason…
“encouraging attacks”
if they want to play that game, two can play.
Someone needs to geo-fence the neighborhoods the Justices live in and have lots of cameras. It is a federal felony to demonstrate at the private residence of a judge, prosecutor or witness. The court has its own police force of about 200. They will get run ragged doing riot duty. I would meet with the Chief Justice and say “Your Honor, either we get to fire bean bags or we are having the flu until this is over.” The time to literally start cracking skulls has arrived. Snipers on the roofs and an M118 round in the head or chest for anyone lighting anything.
Treason happened Nov 3 2020. What else is new?
I have a hard time figuring out the elite’s game plan through our present fiasco. First they put a dementia-ridden guy in the White House with a moron for a sidekick VP. Then they push Russia into war and impose sanctions that are strangling the US and Europe, while making Russia stronger.
Do the elites believe than when they push us over the cliff we are all gonna clammer to be led by the likes of Klaus or Gates. Those guys will likely be hanging from lampposts. Usually the guy who emerges to be in charge after a revolution is a strong man like Trump. I don’t see too many strong men candidates on the elites side right now.
Yes, they are all wimps. Here’s a list of most of them which you can download – most revealing: https://maloneinstitute.org/
“Those guys will likely be hanging from lampposts.”
But only when we take back, by whatever means, the reigns of power. I have written here many times that there is no turning back for them -or us – because if power does shift many WILL be convicted and punished accordingly for crimes against humanity.
They believed that the shock-and-awe sanctions would bring regime change in Russia.
The ‘elites’ are like a woke twitter mob. So, like a woke twitter mob, they spew a constant stream of lies and can only double-down in the face of dissent. Double-down is the ‘plan’.
Ukraine could have come to terms with Russia by only promising to remain neutral and stop the genocide of ethnic Russians in the east. Then again…their promises aren’t worth shit.
I can’t wait until they try to cancel China. That was the real plan all along. They just needed Russia neutralized before they could proceed.
Very nice observation on the possible attempt to cancel China. The globalist plan of neutralizing nations and instituting a world government through economic warfare may not work so well with a strongly nationalist foe like mainland China.
Trump, the old, soft city Democrat is strong?? Good grief.
It’s all just cover for the shoplifting reparations at Walgreens…
OK, OK. They – the fucking morons in charge, with instructions from The Evil Fuckers, are trying their best to get this thing to blow.
Sooner, as opposed to later, Their wish is going to come true and it shall make Krakatoa look like a kiddie birthday party pop-it.
“May you live in interesting times”, indeed.
Stick a fork in it, folks.
The fan has been hit. Yet, there is no end in sight to the convoy of shit flying at it. Lara Logan says there is a Globalist scheme to bring a billion “refugees” to the US. At one time I might have thought that to be crazy talk.
The fan has indeed been hit, and the hits will keep on coming.
Funny how most people think of SHTF as some single, discrete, sudden, catastrophic event when in reality it’s a continuous but variable stream of waves of drizzling diarrhea over the course of years.
Don’t forget your umbrella.
My comment disappeared?
No it didn’t. I’m reading it right now. It says, “My comment disappeared?”
Good one Jim. I posted an Appendix to my book on the subject of trucks failing to run due to fuel issues:
APPENDIX V
WHEN TRUCKS STOP RUNNING
Here is an example of how important distribution is to our economy. Best known for
her book, When Trucks Stop Running, This is her forecast of what would happen
should our trucking system shut down for lack of fuel:
Day 1 without trucks
• Manufacturers and assembly lines that use just-in-time delivery will
shut down when parts run out or storage for finished products fills up.
• Hospitals will run out of supplies like syringes and catheters within
hours.
• Milk and fresh bread will run out.
Day 2 without trucks
• Food shortages will escalate, especially in the face of hoarding and
consumer panic. Supplies of essentials and perishable foods will
disappear
• Restaurants and fast food outlets close
• ATMs will run out of cash
• Construction stops
• Pharmacies close
• Americans generate 685,000 tons of trash per day. Garbage will start
piling up in urban and suburban areas creating a health hazard.
Day 3 without trucks
• Most service stations will run out of fuel
• Widespread lay-offs in the manufacturing sector
• Waste water sludge becomes a problem as tanks at treatment plants are
now full
• Work on infrastructure stops as repairs can’t be undertaken
• Public transport, fire, police, ambulances, telecommunications,
utilities, mail, and other essential services stop
Day 4 without trucks
• The repercussions start to reverberate globally, as 48,000 imported
containers per day can’t be unloaded off of ships. Exports stop too.
• All fuel supplies are depleted from service stations. Many people can’t
get to work
• With no fuel, airplanes and railroads shut down.
• Garbage is piling up and has become a sanitary problem
• Britain is out of beer
Day 5 without truck transport
• Drinking water is depleted. The delay of weekly deliveries of
chemicals has meant that water treatment plants can no longer
guarantee that water is fit to drink.
• Industrial production stops, a large proportion of the labor force is laidoff
or unable to get to work, travel and recreation stop
• Healthcare is confined to emergency services
• Utilities have localized disruption of gas and electricity, and due to
lack of fuel can’t pump water and gas, repair broken water and gas
networks, etc
• Livestock begin to suffer from lack of feed deliveries, wastes
accumulate, ranchers can’t transport animals to slaughterhouses, meat
production stops
• The Swedish Alcohol Retail Monopoly is out of alcohol
Within four weeks:
• The nation will exhaust its clean water supply and water will be safe
for drinking only after boiling.
• If this happened at harvest time, many crops will rot in the fields
• The Department of Defense supply chain will break down, crippling
the military “in ways no adversary has been able to achieve”.
• Global financial collapse. A halt of international trade would bring
the financial system down, probably sooner than this.
This is just a partial list of what could occur, further reading here:

“Facts: One barrel of Oil yields as much energy as 25 five thousand hours of human labor more than a decade of human labor per barrel. The average american uses 25 barrels each year, which is like finding three hundred years of free labor annually. Thats just oil, theres coal and gas too!!!
“Without petrochemicals “Oil” medical science, information technology, modern cityscapes, and countless other aspects of our modern technology intensive lifestyles would simply not exist. In all, oil represents the essence of modern life”
-Richard Heinberg Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uKgU7…
I thought the Canadian trucker protest proved that timeline to be overwrought?
Yes HSF, I think it is but it’s what I used to emphasise the point – speculation with poetic licence? I am inclined to hyperbole at times! 🙂
“they must have started reading the news”
what, you mean the same news they feed you? nah, they have their own news that you never see.
James, thank you for another refocus. Somewhat nauseating but spot on. I just ordered your book, World Made by Hand; hope I get to read it before we get there!
It’s fascinating watching the slow motion replay of high speed photography of a high speed machine fail and tear itself to pieces.
It’s been like that for a while now.
I stand transfixed.
“I stand transfixed”
avoid the shrapnel.
I just read an article where the UN has legislation up for approval in the next few days where they will cut off all Russian oil imports in 6 months. I spit out my coffee laughing. “Ok, Mr, we are gonna cut off buying your oil …… in 6 months!” Bwahahahaha! “I am serious, if you don’t stop beating on me, in 6 months I will take action!” Where did these people come from? Hard to believe these folks are that stupid. Plus they have given Russia huge time to prepare, or to preemptively act. Stupid is as stupid does.
That is too funny. If I was Russia, I would cut them off tomorrow from all oil and gas in response. All of them. For a few weeks, just to soften them up. For instance, Czechoslovakia is 100% dependent on Russian gas. Hungary 95%. Germany 66%, Finland 67%, Slovakia 85%, etc.
I think you meant the EU not the UN. EC’s not here to fix it.
The Ruskies should have cut them off at the first threat.
Thanks. EU.
Here is a bit of info that I love to share. The basic gist is that the US at 5% of the world’s population consumes 20% of its oil. The good news is that the US produces almost as much as it consumes overall. As others have pointed out we need to import some grades of crude, but we export others.
But the reliance on oil is far too great. We could, if we change things, become a major exporter of oil, with all the political power that entails.
Also note China only produces a fraction of the oil it uses. Think that might be an issue going forward?

“Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter will further toxify our information ecosystem and be a direct threat to public safety, especially among those already most vulnerable and marginalized.”
Wow. If ever there were a quote in need of parsing, this is it!
“…further toxify our information ecosystem,…”
“We’ll know our job is complete when everything the American people believe is a lie” – William Casey, former director of the CIA
Yes. We’re “toxifying” their giant lake of lies with rivers of truth and they don’t like it…not one bit. And so it HAS to stop, and that right quick!
“…and be a direct threat to public safety,…”
Indeed. THEY are going to seriously have to crack some skulls , ruin some lives and maybe kill a few people to regain control of their evil plot. That would definitely qualify as a ‘threat to public safety’, wouldn’t it?
And who will be the target of this ‘patriotic violence’? Why, “…the most vulnerable and marginalized”. In other words, white male conservative Christians as well as anyone intersecting their social orbit.
FROM THEIR OWN FORKED TONGUES COMES YOUR LAST WARNING.
Ignore it at your peril.
You can take back your country this year or kiss it goodbye forever.
“and there isn’t a new model for running things ready to launch”
Yes there are, several.
A good read until ZeroHedge was referenced.
