Q1-The ones I listen to, Rickards, Schiff, Kiyosaki, etc are predicting a disaster for our economy but not as bad as those fools in Europe.

Q2-Dunno. I don’t do nat gas

Q3-No but I’ll send over a few logs to burn. I wonder if he will participate in the “No Pay UK” program. If they can get a million subscribers then none of them will pay their power bills. Cool ideas, guys.

When the kids were growing up “Social Darwinism” was a favorite. Darwin’s a jerk but he served to get the point across to the kids. If anyone made a stupid, fatal choice we would bury the dead and not talk about them as they were too ignorant to live.
The leadership of the West is like most of the Kennedys, except Robert F. Kennedy Jr., at a genetic dead end.
Say your prayers, try to forgive, move to a red state.

All to protect a bunch of criminal money launderers that have likely moved nearly as much money for Republicans as democrats and for sure all the criminal leaders of the nations that will be freezing to death.

First they will say, you loose your house.. But you can rent it . And then they give your house and car to a family from Congo with 8 children.. But you will be still happy. (or dead)

The Bill Witherers usta’ lean on “If goods don’t cross borders, armies (bads) will.” (And surely that catchy slogan remains affixed to many a bumper.)

But, Hold On, Uncle Sam&Dave:

“Commercial capitalism arose when merchants, carrying goods from one area to another, were able to sell those goods at their destination for a price which covered original cost, all costs of moving the goods, including the merchant’s expenses, & a profit. This development, which began as the movement of luxury goods, increased wealth because it led to specialization of activities both in crafts & in agriculture, which increased skills & output, & also brought into the market new commodities.

Eventually, this stage of commercial capitalism became institutionalized into a restrictive system, sometimes called “mercantilism,” in which merchants sought to gain profits not from the movements of goods but from restricting the movements of goods. Thus the pursuit of profits, which had earlier led to increased prosperity by increasing trade & production, became a restriction on both trade & production, because profit became an end in itself rather than an accessory mechanism in the economic system as a whole.” ~ Tragedy & Hope, Carroll Quigley

Borders is just the aisles in the bigbox story, multi-storeyed (the prominent feature o’ Babel), Department (of the interior) Store. And the only actual products for sale & consumption are the “various” Weus The People ~ the true Borg whose motto is “Resistance is Infantile – Right, Daddy?”

But maybe C. Quigley shoulda’ consulted with C. Shelby about his gearing.

Profit is an accessory mechanism of correct process, same as checkered flags are. That’s a true fact. And them that deny it is fuct. And those are also the fucters.

But it takes color of law, meaning states & their governing appendages, to cut the process into parts & to “institutionalize” them into ends in themselves … on behalf of those bastards wielding those appendages (this is my rifle, this is my gun, this is for fuckin’, this is for fun…& “profit” was always an end in itself for these pragmatist pricks).

So the Smedley Butler types invade to protect Bananna-kings economic rents – which are definitely *not* profits.

Econ rent is academic bullshit-speak for criminality. For crimes against “the customers.” “Our customers” as in “property.” As in these pecu-people belong to *us.* Hereabouts that gets capitalized. U.S. Which doesn’t care where in the world its pecu-people go – the string remains attached.

“The Borders” are “socially” constructed illusions. The “socially” constructed armies are real. The Carn Age is perpetual. Because “the people,” in the main, are just … what would you say?

I was a Chevy kid. We usta’ say Fix Or Repair Daily. When it comes to “the people” you’re gonna hafta add “Forever” because that jalopy is a piece of junk, a death-wish/trap. “Bang, you’re Zed – & Zed’s Dead, babies.” Cue Charlie Bronson.

1) The collapse of the European Union has been a slow motion event. Negative interest rates have allowed them to
borrow money beyond what should have been affordable at higher interest rates. The requirement that European
pension funds have 80-90% of their funds in European Bonds, has destroyed all the pension funds in Europe.
As interest rates rise…the value of the bonds declines. THEIR PENSION FUNDS ARE INSOLVENT.

That means the banks are INSOLVENT. Dutche Bank is the largest holder of derivatives on the plant. When those
fail, it will take the rest of the banks with it. That is why in September 2019, the FED had to start printing money
and cover over night lending rates between US banks and European Banks; the US banks would not take Euro bonds as collateral.

That is why the dollar index has been rising. Capital is fleeing Europe for any where.

When the entire land mass of Europe closes because of the high cost of energy, the dominoes will start to fall and
the whole house of cards comes crashing down.

Expect a US bank holiday. It will happen on a Sunday…maybe on a holiday weekend.

Lats hope the banks open Tuesday.

2) At this point the cost of Nat Gas on Monday is irrelevant. The current cost will bankrupt 75-90% of the households in Europe; not to mention the businesses.

The politicians have taken a stand and they are not likely to say “Opps we got that wrong” They have demonized Putin and Russian to the point they believe their own propaganda.

Governments are about to fall.

There is absolutely no reason for the NATO expansion against Russia. It has asked for years to have a defensive perimeter and the West had given them middle finger.

So now the price of gas is just an abstraction…they can’t pay the current price…

3) It’s going to be more then that. But he couldn’t pay the 1000.00.
He will stop paying his car payment, insurance, credit card bill…every bill he has to to not freeze to death.

All the banks go bust.

Have 3-6 months of food at home.

Get some physical dollars at home.

Of course have some gold and silver if you can.

Good luck

1. I’ve been reading prognostications of imminent doom for a decade now. I thought for sure the whole global economy would crash in 2008, 2015, 2019, and 2020. Each time TPTB printed trillions–throughout the West–and pushed the reckoning off to the future. They’ll try it again. Will it work again? By now, I’d be surprised if it doesn’t. But one of these days soon it’ll all crash.

2. It’ll spike up to maybe $12 and fall back. Keep in mind that I’m the worst forecaster on the planet.

3. Move to Russia, Pete. Gas is cheap there.

1) Americans need to prepare NOW regardless of the EUs predicament. (China wins big selling gas to Europe).
2) Its possible the markets already factored in Putins present scenario. If not I’m the dumbass for not having filled my additional LPG tank.
3) Set it up.

Maybe the Europeans can migrate to Africa where it’s warm and turn it into a successful continent then all the migrants that invaded Europe will want to go back?

Trump hater
