Scary how films seem to become reality. I have friends who live in Australia. Right now they are at their vacation home on kangaroo island. He was a sailor on merchant ships. He can fix anything. There they have fish, sheep , solar power, abundant wood and a water catchment system. So if you must live off grid in an apocalyptic world, that is the place to be.

I'll be sure to tell all the people that live in high rise apartments...

A realistic rewrite to reflect reality…. Now imagine Iran controlling/allowing oil to only countries with sharia law.

John Stewart once asked jokingly why God put "our" oil under other peoples' countries. Same might be asked about "our" transit routes. The video John linked to in his other post showed how the Brits and Russians took over Iran during WWII. The U.S. took over in 1953. The U.S. helped CIA asset Saddam Hussein make war on Iran between 1980 and 1988. And so forth. We somehow get along with Wahhabi Saudi Arabia, but Iran hates us for no reason other than we aren't Shia?

Rather stark, no?

Enlightened, adroit author views reality and determines that the IRGC destruction of third party nations' commerce--to the detriment of the nation currently being discussed--is...what? Benign? And, Trump's dealing with it head on is the exact wrong thing to do, because...it's an Epstein Distraction?

Maybe the transitition from youthful neural health to adult decline is evident. Or, something.

No, it's not decline. Still too sharp. It's programming, social priming, social coercion, peer pressure, etc. The thinker has begun to emote. That's probably it.

The Strait of Hormuz is not closed. Russian and Chinese vessels pass through it daily. The actual issue was when Lloyds of London withdrew their insurance support for various vessels, thus ensuring that these uninsured vessels would not go through the Strait. The issue is actually the City of London, which has dictated global politics and unrest for centuries, and is now being destroyed by Trump. Finally.

I fully agree John. Australia destroyed themselves deliberately because they are the launching ground for the One World Order.

I pumped diesel and gasoline at the families truck stop and shop through 2 Oil Crisis' in 1973 and 1979. That lead me to the Alternative Fuels System business. I could go much further.

Mark Carney and Trudeau before him are WEF Globalists with net zero fetishes who are destroying Canada using the same playbook as Australia. They are trying to disarm us (NEVER GONNA HAPPEN) and their regulations are keeping our vast amount of oil and gas in the ground. They seem to be letting China have a lot of influence and are forcing Chinese EV’s on a population that does NOT want them. Canadians who are not Liberals are awake to all of this.

Low-effort dross. What are the role and culpability of globalists here?

This fits very well with one of the most profound pieces I have read in recent memory by the erudite author, humanist and analyst Chris Hedges. It is a deep reflection on the human soul or in this instance, of the soulless. "The soulless, enslaved by narcissism, greed, a lust for power and hedonism, cannot make moral choices. Moral choices for them do not exist. Truth and falsehoods are identical. Life is transactional. Is it good for me? Does it make me feel omnipotent? Does it give me pleasure? This stunted existence banishes them from the moral universe.

Human beings, including children, are commodities to the soulless, objects to exploit for pleasure or profit or both. We saw this soullessness displayed in the Epstein Files. And it was not only Epstein. Huge sections of our ruling class including billionaires, Wall Street financiers, university presidents, philanthropists, celebrities, Republicans, Democrats and media personalities, consider us worthless."

Read and reflect upon the truth of these words.

I worked for a company drilling oil and gas in Western Australia in the early 2000s. Australia has huge oil and gas reserves. This is a self-inflicted wound given by green net zero policies.

"Australia is now facing severe fuel shortages as a results of" its long history of suppressing domestic coal use and closure of its coal-fired power plants.

Suicidal green policies in the name of saving the planet from carbon dioxide emissions. Australia is paying the price of the absolute lunacy of its ruling elite.

The only thing we know for a fact, is that the extra CO2 has greened up the entire globe and increased agricultural yields.

And let's not forget Australia's Covid-inspired concentration camps, and Dan Andrews' Stalinist approach to injection mandates.

Australia has been run by certifiable alarmist nutcases for at least a generation.

Sounds like Canada.

John's re-write reminds me of the opening scenes of the film Idiocracy. So does the world created by our globalist overlords, which might be called the Axis of Epstein for reasons having little to do with religion.

John, what "favorite Poem " is that?

you might have added: "the mandated crushing boot of tyranny in the name of preservation made slaves of them all" First soften them up with the left punch of mandated covid shots, then knock them out with the upper right of fuel rationing" We can all see it. Thank you Mr Glyphosate bibi Trump.

Important worldwide connections John!

All happenstance? Kinda like mass migration last 20 yrs in the West?

Sounds like "control grid" to deplete autonomy of independent thinking civilisations.

Most western countries are operated by Globalist psychopaths bent on submitting all its citizens to their ‘wise’ leadership as human cattle - for their own good of course! We’ve been fools to let them get away with it! Most voters are useful idiots at best. It’s so frustrating! 😢🙏🏻

More insanity? What country is also the largest exporter of coal to China, this energy market has been developed the point where China makes up a large majority of Australia’s entire export market!

Self production may have been more expensive and triggered "Green" issues, instead of seeing these extra costs as a self-reliance insurance policy, they were cut, with production moving to overseas. This is the equivalent of "saving money" by not paying for house and car insurance policies.
