JP Morgan is emphasizing that U.S. energy policy is likely to end up with $150-$200 per barrel oil costs in next year ($10/gal gasoline). [LINK] Whether that dire prediction comes true is anyone’s guess. However, consensus review makes nearing $100/barrel costs by the end of this year just as unnerving. ($6/gal gasoline). That outcome is the centerpiece for why Biden needs the Omicron variant to impact the demand side urgently.
New York – […] “We believe the evolution of coal prices might reflect supply, demand, cost of capital and energy transitioning issues for all fossil fuels, and it would certainly be possible that oil prices will follow the same pattern (inflation adjusted for oil, that would be in a $150-200/bbl range),” wrote a team of JPMorgan Chase & Co. strategists led by Marko Kolanovic. (read more)
This analysis essentially aligns with CTH outlooks and complements what Allianz Group chief economic advisor, Mohamed El-Erian, was saying yesterday [LINK] The Biden energy policy is specifically to blame for the current price increases across the entire energy sector.
All of Biden energy policy, and all of Biden spending around the Build Back Better agenda, is designed to take us from where we are now into some distant place where fossil fuels are not the energy mechanism; that’s the Green New Deal component of this. However, there is no policy for their transition – they stopped all current energy policy around oil and coal.
Biden halted pipelines, cancelled oil and gas leases, blocked expanded refinery capacity and regulated the entire U.S. oil industry into a place of diminished capacity. That is why energy prices have, as Obama promised, “necessarily skyrocketed.” And, we ain’t seen nothing yet. Depending on how cold it is this winter, you can expect natural gas and home heating oil to double in the next few months.
The near horizon looks pretty clear. Gasoline will keep rising fast and will cost $6 to $7/gal before next spring. There is no way under current Joe Biden policy to avoid this, unless he was to completely abandon his energy policy; that’s not likely. The climate change ideologues, academics and far-left communists behind the Biden policy are not likely to see the catastrophic economic damage as a bad thing, instead they will likely say it’s the new normal.
With that level of supply side economic chaos seemingly unavoidable, the only way for Biden to try and mitigate political damage is an attempt to halt the demand side. That’s why the administration needs Omicron.
It is more important for our government to use Omicron than all other governments because we are the spending and ideological center. That is why we are seeing a much bigger emphasis upon the fear of Omicron by our government; and that is why the descending levels of variant emphasis/fear fall in line depending on how closely other nations are aligned as allies.
Meanwhile… China, Iran and Russia (adversaries on an ideological level) know what is happening, and to the extent they can drive U.S. inflation even higher, they will. Our adversaries know how to use Biden’s policy to make massive inflation hurt the U.S. disproportionately. This is why OPEC is giving Biden the middle finger on his ‘request’ to increase oil production, and this is why China is now triggering shipping quarantines. (more)
Again, as repeated previously, our window to prepare for a massive jump in inflation is slowly closing. We are down to around 60 days, and then things will get really ugly. The people behind Joe Biden know this. Omicron is a tool they are attempting to use to moderate the speed of impact within the inflation window.
WASHINGTON – […] The main driver behind oil prices is supply and demand. And while the Omicron COVID-19 variant put a dent into oil prices on Friday, with investors fearing that potential country lockdowns would reduce travel and therefore lower demand for oil, JPMorgan viewed that price move as an overreaction.
“We believe the market may overestimate the impacts of the recent emergence of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 on oil prices during the US holiday period,” JPMorgan said in a Monday note, inferring that there will be little to no slowdown in holiday travels even as the Omicron variant spreads.
[…] With demand for oil likely to remain steady, supply will remain the key driver behind oil prices for years to come. And with OPEC+ “being firmly in the driver’s seat for oil prices,” JPMorgan thinks Brent will hit $120/bl in 2022, and could even overshoot to $150/bl in 2023, representing potential upside of as much as 100% from current levels.

Make no mistake, wars have been started and fought over less then what has been done to us the last two years. If this coming economic collapse is as bad as the tea leaves loom here, it will be impossible for this to not devolve into violence.
We are three meals away from anarchy.
We will get mass starvation at $10/gallon, and massive economic collapse to go with it as truckers can’t even afford to ship you your food.
We are under attack, WWIII has been raging for two years and we still don’t even realize it.
It’s not nation vs nation anymore, it’s the satanic elite against the peons that pay all the bills.
Fertilizer has gone up 10 times. If it cost $10 per ton , it is now $100 per ton. Soon farmers not growing enough food will be the biggest issue. Can you imagine what NYC will be like with no food coming in for a week or two.
Yup, the “flash mobs“ and “SUVs” will be looting your nearby grocery store instead.
🔥 📛 The antifa, blm and just plain old rioters and criminal gangs have had plenty of real life “practice” the last 2 years plus the 8 in Barry’s terms of office.
Let’s hope the American Constitutional Republic Citizens are ready and already living the way needed when “it” crashes.
self-defense.
It works.
Jury agreed.
Ain’t no 12 Americans going to convict someone in their home being broken into….
Red states yes…blue states not so much…castle law is alive and well in texas…
I respectfully disagree.
If their hadn’t been LOTS of video, showing the 3 shootings from numerous angles, the survivor would not have been forced to admit, on the stand, that he was aiming a gun at Kyles head when Kyle shot him.
If Kyle had not acted EXACTLY “correct” (hard to do, when people are trying to kill you!) he may well have been convicted, as well.
And, for sure if those he shot were BLACK, it would be a whole different story.
Celebrate the verdict, but DO NOT mistake it for any affirmation of the right of self defence.
totally agreed. they lull us into slumber with these empty, pyrrhic victories.
Or, there’s always the Simo Häyhä way at 300 meters. Become the predator. Negative reinforcement still works even though the left abandoned B.F. Skinner 40 years ago. Antifa is shatting their panties right now because of that.
This is exactly correct. It was a defensive victory only. We should celebrate it for what it was, but not let our desire for peace make it what it was not.
The war go on and the unholy alliance of marxism and globalism is merely temporarily hindered. They will do what they have always done: regroup, assess what they could have done better, and come at us again. It is impossible to coexist with totalitarianism inside the same polity.
Thank God Kyle had a good lawyer and the conclusive video evidence. The violent Antifa cretin who survived would’ve readily perjured himself.
One must frame the word lawful in front of self defense.
Has Grosskreuz been charged yet?
Right on again Dutchman
Pretty sure that when the shooting starts the court systems will no longer be used.
Trial by jury will yield to trial by fire. We are facing dark days ahead.
But you lose the house paying for your lawyer.
In California, an intruder who is not assaulting you in your home is protected. If you shoot and kill him, you will be charged and convicted of murder under CA law.
I’m glad I live in Florida!
That’s why I have 24 oz bats and hornet spray around the house and bedside. My firearms are for collapse only.
In a criminal case, as long as they “unlawfully and forcibly enter” you are “presumed to have held a reasonable fear of imminent peril of death or great bodily injury to self, family, or a member of the household” , you may use “force intended or likely to cause death or great bodily injury.”
In the civil case however, the perp may own your home and retirement if you get the wrong judge and jury….

I’m surprised that they haven’t hit Costcos yet with all the $3,000 TVs by the entrance!
Somewhere maybe, but not in our tiny town in Oklahoma.
We are ready and armed.
We conservatives saw this coming years ago.
Liberal shit won’t work here!
And in every small town across the country.
Wyoming is ready also just try an you will reap what you soe.
In two weeks without resupplies; the store shelves will already be empty.
Will they be breaking into apartments to get food?
Fertilizer uses natural gas as a feedstock. Natural gas is a byproduct of oil production. When DJT was president, we had so much gas we were building terminals to ship LNG.
Also independently recovered from gas wells.
Not all oil wells produce natural gas as a byproduct . Vast majority of our natural gas supply comes from gas wells without any oil
Was just on an ag call for work, fertilizer/ammonia last year at this time was $450 a ton, it is now close to $1400. Some producers will just sit this one out which equates to less corn and we no what will happen to price of corn. A ton of fertilizer will cover about 6-8 acres.
Soybeans do not not take as much nitrogen to grow, or they replace nitrogen in the soil, so their price may not go up as fast. Who imports the most soybeans in the world. Yup, China. Suspicious cat is, well, suspicious.
We just received a letter today at work from a medical gas provider letting us know our cost for nitrous oxide is going up 35% due to increases in ammonia nitrate.
CNY: I appreciate this information. I suspect we’ll be hit with a similar increase for nitrous very soon. I’ll need to check our medical gas provider’s invoice. I’m sure that our fuel surcharge will be bigger than ever. The fuel surchage is outrageous. Essentially, ever customer pays enough to fuel a dedicated round trip, whereas deliveries for most medical and dental practices are made as part of a regular route, with multiple customers served on the same route.
Get to know your local farmers-NOW! Also, i you live near practicing Mormons–especially a large community of them–they are commanded to keep 2 years of food supply/person in each household at all times. They usually have a Mormon cannery nearby, and many of those will, as community outreach, open their cannery items for purchase from non-Mormons. Items come in paint-pail size buckets, sealed and good for 10-30 years, depending on product.
Here in Boise, Idaho, we have a large number of practicing Mormons. Hence, grocery stores like WINCO sell grain sacks of rice, flour, oatmeal, sugar, beans, rice, salt, baking soda, etc., as well as good grade 5-gallon and 2-gallon buckets, oxygen absorbers and lids for storing these basics long-term (5 years).
I also try pick up something for babies transitioning to regular food (regular Gerber rice, etc.) I have no children, but these poor souls are really going to be caught in the cross hairs and the angst for their parents will be thru the roof. Our babies must survive infancy, so if I can help, I will do what the Good Lord gives me the ability to do now. Remember the most vulnerable among us as you go about preparations. K, I’m off my soap box…..
Population control…..or de-population for the Chinese.
And, they don’t have to fire a shot…………………
FZ, Maybe “Folks” will be tempted (when times gets hard) to mosey on down to the R/R tracks and have a “Look See” inside the sea containers crammed with food on those “Stack” trains….

I put nitrogen on my hay field once a year. The lowest I paid was around $450 a ton. The highest I paid was close to $900.
In late July, I could not even buy it. It was not available, so I put on another kind of fertilizer.
There are some news reports about the massive increases in price for nitrogen. Soon it won’t be available for any price. This is going to hit hard.
Burn your field in the winter time.
good starve the out
Precisely correct on the truckers..no trucker putting truck on road at $10/gallon or likely higher for diesel…let grocer shelves get empty and people get hungry..THink school systems function with $10/gallon fuel for buses? Airlines going to function with MASSIVE tix prices? How dumb can we be??
To think we were energy independent during the Golden Age of Trump.
Biden fixed that real quick.
Your last statement….
Means….
The war of the bourgeois against the proletariat.
Same ole, same ole…
Nothing new under the sun.
History repeating…
Over and over and over again.
History may not repeat but it sure is rhyming lately.
We are truly a tragic species, forever doomed to repeat and relearn the mistakes of the past. Same old problems and flaws, new shiny coat of paint.
President Reagan once asked (and I paraphrase): “How much better would we be if we would just follow the words of a man from Galilee?” Until we learn to do that, we will just wash-rinse-repeat our mistakes. From ancient Israel to modern day America: we seem to never learn…..
Great post! We’re learning nothing from history. After WW II the social psychology experiments meant to prevent another Goebbels type society did absolutely nothing. I thought they were so great but the only truth is walking with Jesus.
This country has abandon our Lord and Savior a long time ago America is on the outs because of it.
Brother Vet:
Don’t give it up yet.
Please hear me:
Some of us who have been through the helluva of it for the rest of us…never gave up in the face of what seemed to be the impossible mission.

You had to be there.
Don’t toss your hope aside.
But you are right that history repeats itself.
But God Almighty is higher than all that of the lies and propaganda of our day.
Never forget your first roots, personally and nationally.
Semper FI
To borrow the words of Adm. John Paul Jones:
I have not yet begun to fight!
Semper FI thank you for you service.
Perhaps you have misspoken, ghost of Karl Marx…who believed that the Proletariat ought to rise up against the Bourgeois….The Frankford School and post modernism were founded when the Oligarchs discovered that the Surfs didn’t immediately rise up against the middle class…so just tell them the middle class is “racist” and owes them…and point them at the local shopping mall or drug store!
The Oligarchs definitely want “us”-the middle class(Bourgeois) to quit using their future petrochemicals, to train our less well educated replacements, and sit down and shut up…6-10 dollar gasoline will likely do that, or at least create a serious disruption in the Economy…I believe that this is called “Neo-Feudalism”
No, I didn’t mispeak.
You missed the point.
You just didn’t understand what I said.
I bettered my Fabian professors at Oxford.
And they knew it.
You got way off course the subject here
Forget the Frankford School and get back to common sense!
It is possible that I misunderstood…what was Your point?
Most of the “bourgeois” may be ready to defend their property from the looting of the “proletariat”(or was that “SUV’s” doing the looting!)- Better to have a video feed with multiple camera angles, or you will be considered the aggressor(in Wisconsin and many other places in this country). Hard enough to win defending you life against multiple aggressors (easier if in your residence).
The article pointed out that 6-12 dollar per gallon gas bad for the middle class…Goldman says no effect until $150. I don’t buy that…we are in a hidden contraction right now…coupled with lack of goods, serious inflation….and the ferrule “proletariat” looting whatever is not bolted down in large cities.
I didn’t directly attack you, pick a better argument than asserting I am uneducated …save your attacks for the enemy, of whom I am not one!
Oh, F-OXBRIDGE! They are no more prestigious than those jokes called the ‘ivies’ in the USA.
I best Harvard and Yale lawyers for fun and profit daily. Not impressed by the big names. Yawn.
Fabians aren’t the only crop of jackass Euroweenie socialists that we are fighting and have been fighting for over a century here in America.
If you sniff snootily at the poster’s mention of the Communists of Frankfort fame who were ASKED into the USA by the damned Communist FDR to destabilize and destroy Traditional America, you show your own abysmal lack of understanding. Unless, of course, you contend Tavistock is the real and only power in the world? Pardon my guffaw.
Others here also are specialists in critical theory of all varieties at the graduate level. We aren’t any of us rubes.
Assuming makes an a…….
Spot on analysis.
Agreed. See my response to the uneducated to StuckinSoCal.
Very good points
Like!
There will be winners and losers. Look at Cuba’s history. Middle class will be dessiminated. That is where we are heading. Military will hold businesses to propped up the regime.
Actually, its (at least/ WW4; the “Cold War” was WW3.
And, just as WW1 set the stage for WW2, WW3 set the stage for WW4.
It is “Globalists vs Nationalists”; THATS the real battle, and all else is chaff and countermeasures.
Oh, and WW4, as I call it, has been raging for a LOT longer than 2 years.
Truckers are having a hard time now, they will be finished well before $10 a gallon. Also, the many products that are produced by or contain petroleum will be very scarce or non existent. Food and essential life saving items will be gone soon if the bidiot remains in the WH.

Let gas hit $6 for avg American…Jan 6th will look like an old ladies tea party……(not that is was much of anything anyway). Go ahead Joey…keep allowing those left-ards call the shots and you play demented, farting, crapping in the pants Joe…being changed by Doc Jill…
Careful! Brandon might challenge you to a push-up contest behind the gym!
if only i had a nickel for every time i heard that – i’d be so rich i wouldn’t need to prepare for it never happening…
If it goes to $6, The fake president might not last another year. If it goes to $10, he and his commie friends might be kicked out overnight. And that is putting it nicely.
PPS: Around Los Angeles, we’re already at about $6.00/gallon, for premium, and mid-fives for regular.
They have been pushing harder since Obama, surprised really we have taken so much.

When the space alien mother ships arrive they will almost certainly sterilize this planet of the clearly too dumb to live human race.
I’ve long wondered if we’re not just a self-feeding livestock farm set up as a forward supply base long ago for some advanced culture with long range space travel itineraries.
Soon, when the world population is enough, a processing ship (they probably copied the design off the Japanese fish processors) will hover overhead and start sucking up humans into the freeze drier/vacuum packager unit.
When their hold is full, they’ll be off to who knows where.
Wherever it is, the inhabitants have to be smarter than here.
My youngest swears we are like a penal colony for some alien colony.
You kidding, space vegas is making a gazillion gumpars off of us. Place your bets folks
Well if oil does go to 100-120 would that start production in NW TX.
Two years ago we were 1.85-1.95. And awash with oil.
Joe Biden may be the face of these problems but 100% of the blame lies with the DNC/MSM/Social Media/Hollywood propaganda machine. I just wish every American citizen was bright enough to understand this, but amazingly, there are still plenty among us who still believe the utter BS we’re being told by those lying scum bags on our TV’s. Turn it off! Starve the Marxist media scum and their advertisers. It’s the only way the average American can get back at them for lying to us and keep their sanity, at the same time. These days I will catch most Tucker Carlson episodes and that’s about it. I dont’ even watch the local news anymore except when something really major happens.
Yes, they were right forty years ago when they said that the little box in everyone’s homes was the perfect tool for CONTROL.
People have tv-minds now. They believe the constant infocommercials from globalist megacorporations that are disguised as news.
Agreed. I remember when subliminal commercials were supposedly outlawed as a young boy. Always thought when those entrusted to make decisions, placed their hand on the Bible promising…….hot anger now.. I pray this split in the road starts soon. I pray for my children and yours.
Who runs the media?
That’s a rhetorical question. No?
Nope….I hit the mute button…and there ain’t a damn thing anybody can do about it. 😆
It isn’t just the TV these days……how many times have you seen someone, anyone, on their cell phone? That is even worse than the TV. At least the TV is in the house (mostly) the devil phone is in the hand 24-7, and being used…….all the time. I’ve personally seen parents too busy with their ‘texting’ to watch their little ones.
No tv here since 2005….nada…I know.
No TV for me since 2009. I stream Pureflix and Hulu, but for the latter, I stream only the oldies (ex: Dick Van Dyke Show, The Waltons, Leave it to Beaver, Home Improvement, etc.) NEVER the new shows–so insulting and repugnant, and those are just the actors/actresses. Don’t get me started on the plot lines, if there are any…..
At my age, I tell the kids and the wife what’s gonna happen before it reveals.
There’s no new plot, it’s all been done before.
What really chaps me is all the badass tough fighting women doing the jump shoulders, twist and bring the big guy down.
I was with the first combined officer platoon training at TBS. every female who stepped into the pugal rings got knocked out…every one of them.
Interesting comment. I heard the same from a family member in law enforcement. All the Disney movies have women heroes and all the little girls think they can kick everyone’s @ss. He said it was a dangerous mentality for the young girls. It’s very, very important to teach girls to shoot as soon as they can manage a firearm under supervision. It will be their only chance at survival when SHTF (actually it already has).
Mike: I cannot watch that stuff. It’s mind-numbingly absurd.
Just wait untl the ignorant masses can’t get their “stuff” from Amazon because there is no longer free shipping. Perhaps Bezos can break away from whatever yacht he is on to get the message across. He’s a big supporter of Joey’s, isn’t he?
What about all the corporations for whom fuel costs are a huge drain on their profits and therefore their bottom lines and their Wall Street valuations…and all of whom without exception are huge donors and supporters of the Party of Death? Will they just there and take it?
I do not believe the idiots who have made a complete botch job of trying to scare us all with this “new” iteration of the Chinese virus have thought this through. Who will be decimated the most?
Why, I do believe it will be their voter base. Did they think about the backlash from them? I doubt it.
I don’t believe Old Man Biden’s string pullers understand what they are unleashing.
I have my doubts, as well.
THEY are evil, and scheming bastards, of that I have no doubt.
But, do they truly “know what they are doing”, and have some “master plan”,…I have my doubts.
I think they are ‘faking it’, and “calling audibles”; they have no contact with reality, and are regularly saying and doing things which are clearly not in their own best interests,…which is a pretty good description of insanity.
Calling audibles indeed. Half of their problem, which benefits us, is that they truly do not understand those who oppose them. They have constructed a false image of us, and they operate from that. They think it, so it must be so, they are that arrogant. You can see it in their demeanor, in their ugly faces. There is no other world except the bubble one they live in.
I even wonder if they know where their food and all the accoutrements that make their lives so pleasant comes from. Do they actually believe none of what they’ve planned for us will have no effect on them? They are seriously deluded if they do.
They think we are blinded by Trump’s rhetoric, when in fact Trump is a reflection of us and our belief’s.
Our young people are being used as tools and they don’t understand that. They will be quickly discarded when the Globalists have achieved their goals. It’s terribly sad, to me. They have no idea, as you said, what they’re unleashing.
Marx – an idealist

College FB stadiums were packed all fall, NFL as well.

A large percentage would wellcome it including two SILs. Gives their empty little live meaning displaying their “caring” moral superiority.
The Biden gang is also running up the price of natural gas which will make it the long cold winter he promised.
The price of fertilizer has sky rocketed, natural gas accounts for 75% to 90% of costs to produce nitrogen.
The price of food production is going way up. Look for increasing food prices and maybe shortages if farmers can’t afford the fertilizer.
These people are so deeply set and have determined their evil against us.
Against God!!!
They will do anything to destroy us and nullify our voices of truth exposing them.
This is not unexpected or a surprise to anybody who has been paying attention to all the progressive trends for decades.
I have.
So have some of you.
My prayer for all of you:
“God, preserve Your voices of truth and warning, like voices here and elsewhere.
Please help those You know who are doing their best to present truth in the face of the great lie and supposed reset.
Watch over them.
Help them to accomplish whatever mission You have called them to.
Please help us not to falter and fail.”
Yes, Solomon. We need all the Divine help that might be given to us according to His grace and mercy. Because it is, at this point, mercy we need.
My prayers started out as a plea for His intervention in this abominable evil. They have now become “Show US the way to obliterate these Satanic forces, with Your help”. My poor and inadequate prayer.
We can not do this on our own. We need His guidance and the inspiration that can come only through Him.
And small biz’s ARE NOT closing their doors again, b/c owners NOW KNOW what the US govt will do to them; destroy, bankrupt.

Actually we all will
As far as I’m concerned the GOPe has a BIG hand in all of this!
The enemy is definitely inside the wire my friend.
Could the “Dems” have possibly taken our traditionally “center-right” Republic, SO FAR to the left, if we had had a TRUE opposition party, representing US?
NO. The ONLY way this could have happened, is if, for MANY YEARS, the Republicon party has positioned itself as “the conservative alternative” (much like Faux news), POSED as the Conservative alternative, DEFENDED that space against any others (Tea Party, Trump, Perots party, Ron Paul, etc.) while enabling the overt leftists to make steady, inexhorible progress.
I’d hang Mitch McConnell first.
If a very large number of deep state personnel, Democrats and Rinos were executed for treason by patriots, I would not be surprised, nor would I complain.
Miss Lindsey should be next on that list.

Thank you for the information.
As far as I’m concerned the GOPe also has a BIG hand in all of this! Voting for insane budgets, rubber stamping nomination of woke administration bureaucrats and judges and on and on and on…
We are up against the most superstitious, irrational people the world has ever seen.
All leftist schemes reflect the atavistic desire to charge back into a mystical past, but these neo-feudalists also use the word “science” as a magical incantation that makes all these whims come true.
Medieval peasants believed that thunder sours milk, and bad smells cause disease, but these superstitions had some relation to cause and effect experience. Modern leftists believe you can change your sex (gender) with the snap of your fingers. Pure magic, and nothing else.
The modern immersive experience of computer reality has created a whole new tribe of people. Those who stare at computer screens all day have concluded that they have entered a whole new human reality. Zuckerberg and others think they are going to enter a new universe inside their computers, called the metaverse. No peasant was ever so divorced from basic, mundane reality.
All this delusional thinking would be funny, except the superstitious always seek out scapegoats. The Salem witch trials were instigated by the routine death of a farmer’s cow. The farmer went looking for the witch that caused it with an evil spell. The intense desire for censorship that drives leftists is very much a quest for the suppression of evil spells from their enemies. Censorship is a disguised (barely) manhunt for the witches that keep causing the failure of the socialist, collectivist dream.
Human beings are not rational and logical. Wishful thinking always defeats logic. The current ephemeral fantasy that governments can pile up endless debt without consequence will soon bring staggering consequences. Prepare and provide.
Just what can/should anybody be doing to prepare for the massive inflation, if it comes true ?
Are you saying we should be prepping – ie. storing gasoline and heating fuel ?
Buying MRE’s ? Changing the allocation in my investments ? Buying guns & ammo ?
Seriously, what can or should we be doing in the 60 +/- days left ???
All of the above.
Frankly, lets overlook your 2-3 hours late to the party,…and just try to celebrate the fact that you showed up at all.
I would say, in the time frame left, go online and order some “Heirloom” seeds; it means you can use the seeds from the plants you grow, to grow more,..unlike much of the produce you buy at the grocery.
Then, go online and order 1-2 books on “Aquaponics”, and get edumacated.
Aquaponics is a system for raising fish and produce; the fish fertalise the plants, and the plants keep the water “clean” for the fish.
It is infinitly scalable, so you can start small and learn.
That at least deals with the issue of FOOD, and the price of fertiliser becomes irrelevant.
Frankly, I suspect many who have, for years derided “preppers” and “survivalists” are red-pilling on the whole idea.
It’s All, Totally impractical.
Seriously, what does Sundance recommend we do in the next 60 days……
GW: Accumulate a decent supply of nourishing and filling basics. Beans. Oatmeal. Lentils, and such. Avoid foodstuffs that spoil quickly. Put meat in the freezer. Develop a liking for sardines.
Storing gasoline is not practical and dangerous, other than in small quatities, in appropriate containers, with fuel preservative added.
MREs are inordinately expensive and heavy. Stick with dry goods. Sure, having a case of MREs stored away is nice for emergencies, but, more than that will break your wallet and your back.
Don’t do anything rash with your investment portfolio. Diversification and a long-term focus is more important than trying to outsmart the market.
As you have surmised, preparing for inflation and preparing for disasters are two different things.
May want to add canned Herring, mackerel, salmon, ham, chicken, pork, beans, corned beef, hash, spam. Check the expiration dates, most should be 2 to five years out.
Prices are going up. Buy what you will eat.
Step 1: pray for wisdom and strength. Prepare like you would for an emergency, just a longer duration one. I’m not forecasting a societal breakdown, but if you have some preparedness you’ll have confidence about what is coming and can dip into your supplies if necessary. You won’t be the one panicking if you have some necessities covered. Don’t get overwhelmed, take it one step at a time. It looks like a huge endeavor and hopeless, just do as much as you can as quick as you can, it’s better then absolutely nothing.
Step 2: analyze your environment. You need shelter, water, food, and security. Roughly in that order depending on your location. Is your home in good repair? Anything that needs fixed or inspected like a chimney in the event you need to burn wood?
Step 3: Assuming the tap runs dry where are you going to get water? How will you make it potable? What about gray water you might use for washing? Have you considered rain runoff barrels?
Step 4: Food in the short term is fairly easy to acquire and store. There is a lot of info on the internet. Look at rice and beans as a bare minimum food storage staple. Buy extra canned goods that will last and you/family unit will actually eat and can put into rotation. MREs and a lot of survival food kits are costly. MREs are only meant to be eaten for 21 days max, all the preservatives will mess you up. So only get those if you think you’ll need them in a pinch like “hey I got to hit the road throw some cases in the back of the car because the mob is coming to burn down my neighborhood.” Try to think of food in categories that you can store easily in bulk for decades, some food that’s more expensive but will last a couple of years, and food that is semi perishable but you can get in your meal plan.
Step 5: Security… You could conceivably buy and train with some rudimentary proficiency in 60 days. Right now guns and ammo are costly, and training is never cheap. If brand new to self defense go to take a safety course that will introduce you to different types of guns and how to handle them. Then go to a range where you can rent guns and try to narrow down what you want. After you buy what you want, if you can afford it, take a basic course on that gun. Buy up some ammo, your goal isn’t to wage war, it’s to defend yourself if necessary. Invest in training aids and safely practice as much as possible. Dry fire (pulling the trigger with the gun unloaded, and ammo secured away from you to prevent mistakes) is your friend, do it safely at home a lot and make periodic trips to the range to keep yourself familiar. Do that even if you are in a constitutional carry state, it will make you more confident, you’re going to need a little confidence tempered with a healthy respect for gun safety. KNOW THE LAW. If anything the Rittenhouse trial should have demonstrated to everyone…
Even more important is how well do you know your neighbors? How are you connected in your community? Do you have other people you can band together with in an emergency? I don’t know about you, but I don’t have a lot of extra people in my house to stand watch at night for days or weeks on end.
Step 6: Convert some liquid cash to tangible items that hold value and may have trade value. Precious metals, land, ammo, alcohol, basic medical supplies, maybe even some crypto. What do you think will hold or increase in value if civilization stays glued together, and what will have value if it doesn’t? Do you have some durable goods you need to buy or replace? Might want to just convert that cash to something useful. I have a dishwasher on it’s last legs, probably isn’t going to get any cheaper to replace it.
Just some ideas, do some research with a search engine and you’ll find loads of advice. Don’t over analyze, use common sense to pick a sound strategy and go with it.
This is all “end of civilization” type “prepper” suggestions. For when and EMP is detonated and permanently destroys the electricity grid, or a erupts and wipes out the global food supply, Or an asteroid strikes and does the same thing.
No one in a 2000 sq.ft. House on a 60×80 lot is going to grow their own food supply, or hoard years worth of water, gasoline and heating fuel. And that’s Even If they had a hundred grand laying around to buy and create the storage for it all.
Between one and two thirds of the nation’s population is in this or similar situation.
Is anyone saying – actually believing – that civilization will end by March due to inflation ?
“ No one in a 2000 sq.ft. House on a 60×80 lot is going to grow their own food supply…”
Hugelkultur can generate an astonishing amount of food in a small area. The downside to this technique is the large amount of labor and material inputs necessary before the beds can begin producing crops.
https://morningchores.com/hugelkultur/
So next May……. I could plant something, like potatoes or squash, on perhaps a 20×20 area, which may be harvestable next August, and would last perhaps a few weeks or couple months maybe………
I’m sorry I misinterpreted your criticism and hopelessness. I gave you a range of greatly condensed advice earnestly, take it or leave it. Good luck!
Study the social upheaval brought on by the Weimar Republic’s hyperinflationary policies. Then look at the Carter years. There will be obvious similarities between them.
I see two scenarios: Either the federal Reserve will pull back abruptly on credit and trigger a steep recession(Carter/Reagan) or they will bring about an abrupt “ blow-off top,” destroying the currency (Weimar/Third Reich).
Until the tides shift there will be misallocations of labor and capital, creating bankruptcies and fortunes. A few gold and silver coins now may guard you against unforeseen mischief tomorrow.
Well, Sundance already speculates the Fed will not raise rates as it will damage the WS economy and multinationals; thus they will use Omicron to squelch economic demand and keep the tightest possible lid on inflation. So food and energy prices will go up some more. Maybe a lot more.
But I, and most people can’t, by huge amounts of food today and store it because in 6 months it may cost 2 or 3 times as much.
Same with gasoline. Before Sandy I bought 25 gal of gas to run the generator for a couple weeks, knowing widespread power outages would occur. I was without power for about 12 days do no biggie. Had a few days of food in the freezer, until the supermarkets reopened. Again, No biggie.
Virtually No One can buy more gasoline and/or heating fuel than that or more than a freezer full of food. This does not help if we’re waiting to 2024 for a new president and a reversal of these insane policies. And who has spare money to buy gold or silver coins ? And they haven’t been used as currency in a hundred years. What would anyone do with a 1 oz piece of
gold ? Cut it into 100 tiny pieces and offer it to businesses stating “this is $10 worth of gold” ? No one is going to operate in such a manner.
I mean seriously, what does Sundance think we can do in the next 60 days.
Unless of course he anticipates a complete societal breakdown as a result of $10/gal gasoline and the masses only being able to afford hot dogs and bread.
BS what farmer will trade gold for food or cattle? Not going to happen waste of money. I would not trade coffee or food for all your gold.
There are those who have been without television for far longer than my 22 and a half years who read on this site, but there are far too many who will gladly celebrate in 2022 their twenty-fifth, fortieth, fiftieth and for the truly mesmerized, seventy-fifth year of being glued to the picture tube. That is an unfathomable amount of propaganda over the course of a lifetime, so much so that a vaccine passport would not only be welcomed, but those same folks to be impatient as to why the pure bloods are simply not completely ostracized, starved, neglected and gassed. It is already in graffiti in some locations. The conditioning is so complete that conversation is not even a consideration.
Or as Blow Joe calls it, “omnicron”. He’s now even having trouble reading the prompter. At least last week he could still read it even though he said “end of quote”. What an ID10T!
Wait till the knuckleheads figure this all out….can’t WAIT!
NO MERCY!
My names Joey.

I farted, he he.
And that concludes the President’s energy policy brief. Thanks for coming.
The Republicans will defend the people and stop this. Wait…
Liberals may laugh at the price of gasoline, but when their home heating gas goes through the roof, they’ll be begging for Government House to save them.
Meanwhile, the self sufficient will have prepared to make due and help out each other.
This is looking more and more like a serious Own-Goal.
Since the Federal Reserve is now a department of the Democrat Party like the FBI, DOJ, CIA, FDA, CDC and OSHA there’s no way that Powell and his boss Janet Yellen are going to raise interest rates and destroy Biden anymore than Biden’s already destroyed himself. The stock market knows that! Goldman Sachs knows that! Blackrock knows that. Vanguard knows that! Larry Fink and all his friends know that and the puppeteers who control Biden know that so the stock market will continue to go up!
Anybody remember candidate Obama saying in an interview that under his plan gas would necessarily hit $10/gal. Any guess on who’s really running things?
Would love to see the Delaware visitor logs they don’t want anyone to see.
“This time last year, Brian Hora was paying about $500 for a ton of nitrogen-based fertilizers for growing his corn. “And now it is about $1250,” said Hora, who farms in Washington County, Iowa. His family’s been working land there for seven generations;
”Natural gas accounts for anywhere between 70% to 90% of the operating costs,” Taylor said. That’s the operating costs of producing nitrogen. Natural gas is a key ingredient in that process, and natural gas prices are at historic highs.”
https://www.marketplace.org/2021/11/11/farmers-face-rising-fertilizer-prices-and-supply-constraints/
And let’s not forget who’s buying up all that land. If the good guys can ever return to power, they’re going to have to use Eminent Domain to get that land back so we will be able to start growing again.
Or, better yet, forfeiture of assets for criminal activity.
Either way, that’s yet another hurdle. My God, these people are evil.
So right. These people are evil. A sinister global darkness.
Ok. I keep reading about nitrogen for fertilizer. Don’t farmers know that you can plant beans, let them mature,harvest said beans. Leave the roots in the ground and hey you get nitrogen. Bean roots have little nodules on them that release a ton of nitrogen into the soil. Whatever happened to perma culture?
“…energy transitioning issues for all fossil fuels.”
There is no way to get “there” from “here” Mr. JP Morgan.
Driving the cost of oil to your predicted $150-200 /barrel will not be a road bump on the way to a New Green Deal paradise; it will bring the hobbled economy to a grinding halt.
Just has an interesting talk with a North American journalist whose always been reliably liberal. Usually our conversations are quite ‘tense,’ due to ideological differences, and we end up skating around issues but this time things were somewhat different.
Takeaways
Omicron varient is ‘dubious’ and seems to be covering up something. First time this person has ever admitted that Covid might be being manipulated
Real concern that the string pullers are underestimating the growing anger people are feeling’ technology changes, people’s basic nature doesn’t’.
Deep unease with Biden, and I’ll stress the deep. ‘Watched him today and there’s something definitely not right with him, quite scary to watch’
Agreed partially with the statement that the economic crisis was a deliberate policy, again I cannot stress how far this individual has travelled to agree even partially to that theory.
Personal experience of the collapse of law and order, ‘it’s not right this should be happening’ and agreeing that society is being slowly dismantled.
Real economic hardship being felt by supposedly comfortable liberals a sentiment echoed by his friends.
Finally, and this was the real eye opener, ‘it’s alright talking about it but something needs to be done.’
Fear about CRT and where it is leading, I’m the wrong sex, wrong colour I can’t get out, where would I go?’.
Have hope, this person is not red-pilled yet but definitely awakening and plugged into a liberal elite set who are starting to worry about what is happening to their comfortable lives and what the future holds. It seem that liberals are happy when the concepts are abstract, but once they show their teeth they become quite Maga-lite.
I belief liberals will turn on leftists, particularly when they find out that it is the liberals who will be the first to die after leftists assume complete control.
Everything that you mentioned will most likely continue and increase in intensity until the 2022 elections. I don’t have any illusion that the Democrats will allow a “red wave” to sweep them from power. They quit worrying about how much we were seeing of their criminality long ago.
The question is do we have any power and the will to stop it.
Maga-lite, I am going to reuse that term.🤔🤔
The ones that are still thinking, may become slowly red-pilled.
It is up to us, in forcing people to THINK. Sometimes one is able to break through, mostly one gets a better response from a concrete wall. 🤔😥
speaking to the factors that led to this drooling navel gazer being installed, I noticed this:

hmmmm…I am pretty certain we are going to learn about “dead hookers in the trunk” soon.
Please stop thinking that all the junk happening is the political parties…..this is because both parties have sold out to the Klaus Schwab/George Soros cabal of elites, including Gates to reduce the population and insure that those still alive are puppets doing exactly as allowed through computerized control systems. The only way to change the outcome is going to most likely require physical confrontation, if we intend to save our constitutional republic and some level of freedom for the rest of the planet. We are the last frontier, if the American Patriots do not take control, freedom as we know it is forever lost. YOU CAN BET ON IT!
I worked for FEDEX in the 90’s. I don’t don’t remember the year but there was period of time where people were stealing fuel from our parked vehicles. I think gasoline/diesel thefts from cars and trucks will be commonplace soon.
Omicron = Moronic. Yes, the sick losers most likely chose this word for this reason because it is all about laughing at citizens around the world who march in lockstep with the psychopaths pushing their pathetic, childish and idiotic agenda. An agenda only clueless, pathetic morons would still fall for.

$1 coffee ->> $1.49.
Overnight. 49% hike.
Saudi Arabia ignores Joe Biden’s request that it increase its production of oil for export to the U.S.
After cutting off the XL Pipeline, and reducing U.S. oil production by millions of barrels per day from what it was under Donald Trump, Joe Biden is forced to go hat in hand to the Middle East, begging them to increase supplies as gas prices in the U.S. soar to record levels, hurting American families
This is all heading to the complete breakdown of law and order. You have lawyers, judges and even appeals courts working with political leaders and the news media to destroy the United States. If you doubt it just take a look at the moving freight train being looted of big screen TVs in Chicago by mobs of Black people.
Imagine what will happen when they get hungry.
Biden is merely doing what he needs to do to get Build Back Black and Blue (a pun referring to all its literal and figurative meanings!) passed, i.e. make the Senate an offer it can’t refuse.
As runaway inflation sets off panic, a refusal by the Senate to approve this bill and pass on piles of today’s riches (tomorrow’s toilet paper!) to the desperate masses will not go well for the Republican contingent in the Senate.
Who knows! Maybe Biden policy is actually geared to RINO wishes by providing them some plausible excuse to approve this disastrous bill, and make them look like humanitarians, when in reality, their approval would simply enable them to cash in and retire with a manufactured alibi as to why they voted as they did.
Any attempt at dampening demand in the economy is, I believe, an insurance policy in case Build Back Black and Blue fails. And if it does fail, the next move would be government-imposed price controls (something leftists love and for which they can hammer capitalism as the culprit). If price controls are not successful, an emergency measure will allow the communists to issue checks from the Treasury, or impose rationing of some sort. (Dumbbell Republicans and Capitalism will again be the fall guys, as usual!)
Dems will not stop until they have destroyed as much of civilized life as they can. For them, that’s success, i.e. preventing the rest of the world from having what they can’t have, also known as equity.
If gas hits $10 a gallon in 2022, I don’t see any possible way for the left to hold power short of massive voter fraud.
The key is now, how do we catch them cheating.
Imagine what might be within their communications?
Now imagine what 7 Billion very pissed off people might say and do if they had this “what if” incriminating evidence?
We caught them cheating in 2020. We need to show up looking like the NFAC and the New Panthers and enforce the law on the fat elections supervisors cheating in the big blue cities.
Please stop calling it build back better.
It’s F-up America Faster.
Biden’s numbers are so bad that the least worst of all his numbers is over COVID. So, with only that to hang his hat on, it’s all in on the latest variant; his people hoping that by making it a big deal over this, the distraction will stop the slide. Their naked cynicism is appalling.
With the soaring costs of oil and nat gas, does that now make it more viable to fire up the old coal fired power plants ?
I work in a 300,000 BPD barrels per day oil refinery….I simply cannot see how they can run our civilization on “renewables”…. one of our compressors is 16,000 HP drawing over 450 amps of at least 6500KV and I think it may run on 13,500 KV….how many acres, make that square miles? of solar cells would it take to run that thing? How much storage capacity? Dozens of 500-2000 HP motors….I just can’t see it…and that is only one refinery….it takes an incredible amount of capital to power our civilization, just one gallon of gas takes a lot of investment, infrastructure, engineering, fabrication….been doing this for 30 years and it still boggles my mind sometimes…..
I don’t think they care!
Remember 640 acres equals a square mile.
Ammo and grain alcohol will be the only currencies soon.
