It has often been said that if you chase the global climate change ideology to its natural conclusion, we end up in communal groups sitting around a tepid campfire eating some form of sustainable algae cakes and picking parasites off each other… Prior to Joe Biden that prediction might have seemed like hyperbole. Now, not so much.
Indeed, the Green New Deal energy policy of Joe Biden creates massive downstream consequences. Unfortunately, the White House doesn’t seem to care. The high prices and scarcity of critical goods are a feature, not a flaw, as they chase their climate friendly Build Back Better agenda.
Following the continuum of intended consequence, now we have diesel fuel shortages beginning to hit the U.S. economy; and with scarcity comes higher prices of an almost astronomical scale. “The national average price of diesel is now $5.54 per gallon, which is an increase of 22 cents from last week, which was when the most recent record was set. Data shows there’s no state that’s currently seeing diesel prices below $5.12 per gallon.” (LINK)
Making matters even worse is a drop in available inventory of diesel fuel which is about to become a crisis for the east coast of the U.S. Some Truck Stop operators like Love’s and Pilot are already warning their big rig customers they may not have fuel for truckers.
[…] “Love’s is monitoring the fluid situation on the East Coast, we have experienced minimal outages during low traffic hours,” Oklahoma-based Love’s Travel Stops said in an emailed statement. “The company has no plans to restrict purchases of diesel.”
[…] Earlier on Wednesday, the U.S. government’s Energy Information Administration said total inventories of distillates, which is mainly diesel fuel but also heating oil, fell last week to a 17-year low of 104 million barrels, which is 23% below normal.
On the East Coast, the situation is even worse. The EIA said distillate fuel oil inventories in the so-called PADD 1 district that covers the Northeastern states fell by 1.1 million barrels last week to just 21 million barrels, the lowest ever recorded in data going back to 1990.
Love’s truck stops, with some 550 locations across 41 states, also seemed to confirm reports on social media Wednesday that said Love’s and other truck stops such as Pilot were informing their fleet operators that shortages of diesel fuel on the East Coast may happen in the coming week at some stores.

Not only is the logistics of transportation contingent upon the use of diesel fuel for tractor trailer deliveries of essential goods, the other big users of diesel fuel are also farmers.
If it wasn’t challenging enough to triple the price farmers are paying for fertilizer this year, now the costs to operate the equipment they depend on has just doubled with the increases in diesel fuel.
“Some farmers are now even reporting farm diesel prices are higher than on-road diesel, which is typically not the case. … Certain areas of the country have seen shortages already and we expect that to continue. Supplies at New York Harbor–a hub for diesel distribution–are at a 30-year low,” says Meyer. “As such, the East Coast of the U.S. has been hit especially hard, resulting in diesel prices above $6.00 per gallon in that area.

ENERGY POLICY:
♦ West Coast ports that cannot handle container off-loads due to emission regulations.
♦ Nationwide fertilizer shortages and high prices.
♦ Massive increases in gasoline and diesel fuel costs.
♦ Limited shoreline refinery capacity due to federal regulations.
♦ Stunning increases in food costs at the grocery store.
… And what does the administration do against this backdrop?
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration says it is canceling three oil and gas lease sales scheduled in the Gulf of Mexico and off the coast of Alaska, removing millions of acres from possible drilling as U.S. gas prices reach record highs.
The Interior Department announced the decision Wednesday night, citing a lack of industry interest in drilling off the Alaska coast and “conflicting court rulings” that have complicated drilling efforts in the Gulf of Mexico, where the bulk of U.S. offshore drilling takes place.
The decision likely means the Biden administration will not hold a lease sale for offshore drilling this year and comes as Interior appears set to let a mandatory five-year plan for offshore drilling expire next month.
[…] A federal appeals court in New Orleans, meanwhile, is considering a challenge to a moratorium on new federal leasing that Biden imposed soon after taking office in January 2021. Biden said the administration needed to consider the effect of new drilling on climate change and conduct proper environmental reviews.
Louisiana and 12 other states challenged Biden’s order, saying laws passed in response to the 1970s oil crisis require lease sales on federal lands and waters.
The Biden administration failed to “grapple with prior analyses” of the planned sales to give a valid reason for postponing or canceling them, Louisiana Deputy Solicitor General Joseph Scott St. John told a 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel this week. The three-judge panel did not indicate when they will rule. (read more)
The US govt is starting to look like the soviet unions politburo. Caviar and champagne for them, and bread lines and water for the rest of us.
Cost to much doe to buy bread and water. We eat wish sandwichs. Two pieces of spoiled bread and wish you had something to put in it.
With likely wheat scarcities ahead and water rationing on the horizon for many, not even sure the “bread and water” plan is going to hold up.
The scarcity is already here. My source for wheat berries has been out of stock for months. I grind the berries to make bread. I’ve been stocking up on oatmeal and other grains and growing potatoes. There have been many wheat shortages in history. People substituted all kinds of things for wheat, such as peas, oats, maze (corn), barley, buckwheat, potatoes, turnips.
To stretch flour for bread making, the ratio is 1 part potato to 2 parts flour. Peel and boil the potatoes, then mash up by hand. Modify the bread recipe for the above ratio. That allows you to save 1/3 of your flour for the next loaf.
Thanks Born Free! Great tip!
So my source is up and running, for now? It wasn’t a few months ago BTW.
https://pleasanthillgrain.com/food/grains-legumes-seeds/bulk-grains-buy-wheat-berries-red-white
Just make sure to get a grain mill. The one I have can be cranked by hand or can use electricity.
As a side benefit of all of this; I think come a year from now, my wife won’t think I’m ‘entirely’ crazy.
BTW, of all my investments, foods you can store for a long time have been ‘the’ best investments have made. Plus you can eat it without capital gains.
I have 25 pound buckets of wheat. Put them by 10 years ago. In those days they were $12 bucket!
I’ll bet those buckets are more expensive now.

Perhaps the truck drivers need to optimize bugs furl they have. Stop delivering goods to blue states.
My thoughts as well. beginning to look like the old soviet economy where rolling shortages and empty shelves occurred continually – blamed on the ministry of clothing or the potato collective not meeting their yearly quota. Here we have Biden harping about empty shelves that are caused by the bumbling policies of his handlers and him clueless as what is really going on.
The green energy and climate change agenda won’t affect the elites – other than line their pockets with the profits from investments based on inside information and influence peddling.
Bill Gate’s cricket farms to the rescue !
I studied the economy of the USSR in college…I know, “econ geek”. The premise was that it was beneficial to study a centrally controlled economy vs. a free market economy. It was very interesting, and the prof spent every summer living someplace in the USSR. One of the biggest issues with the old Soviet econ management was that they had their heads totally up their wazoos, with zero cooperation btwn agencies. They might have a great harvest…but whoever controlled the trucks and railroad capacity would screw things up beyond belief to the point where crops rotted on the ground for lack of transport. Over and over. What you have to recognize is that the entire “persona” of Russia is a fraud. Even their cities are like life in the 1950’s in the US…but out in the hinterlands, it’s basically a barely “second world” existence. Dirt roads that are impassable when it rains, outhouses, no running water in anything resembling a village. Spotty electric service. 8th grade education for most…then off to an occupational school. Conscripted military with pathetic pay and really poor leadership. I could go on, but maybe just do a search for “life in (pick a spot in Russia” and watch some vids.
Because it is them. They just call themselves neo-conservatives and progressives…
And eventually the gulag.
I heard Putin say the same thing.
He said that the US is looking a lot like the old Soviet Union before it collapsed.

TARFU
Have no fear Treepers, “ms Idaho” should show up any minute now to tell us to pledge allegiance to this occupied government who wants to genocide us with “SAY IT LOUD SAY IT PROUD”
She only posts that on days ending in ‘y’ 🙂
IMHO your critical sarcasm is badly misdirected and based on a false premise.
I have never read that from ms Idaho. She posts the pledge of allegiance to USA, which is a concept; currently a sovereign nation by design, operating under the principles and ideas set forth in the U.S. Constitution, and laws that have been subsequently passed and accepted, or that were challenged and found by SCOTUS to be in concert with the Constitution.
Most of us do not agree with all laws that are currently being enforced, or with the current corrupt & illegal regime that ignores far too many laws and Constitutional requirements.
Ms Idaho has never once asked anyone to pledge allegiance to the illegal squatters and traitors who currently occupy the majority of seats of power in the federal government at this particular time. And no, those criminals are NOT the nation whose flag it is to which we pledge allegiance.
👍
Good post GB. I would like to add one comment. This is an all out personal attack. It does nothing to address the topic or advance conversation.
And as such, is at odds with the “Guidelines for posting comments”, which is accessed by clicking on the homepage.
Something EVERYONE should read through, before posting their first comment, and periodically review.
Thank you. Concur. We pledge allegiance to the real America where freedom is not just a concept, but a way of life.
The people of the USA should have a different flag than the government when the government is not aligned with the people. I have suggested painting a black diagonal stripe through the flag. As long as you fail to differentiate yourself from the government then you might be part of the problem.
As long as you fly the US flag, you are pretty much inviting yourself to be walked on.
Americans are starting to use The U.S. Civil Flag. You can take a look here and see if it’s a Flag you would like to use.
https://tasa.americanstatenationals.org/
I will not cede the American Flag to any communist or fascist government and their minions, substituting another in its place.
I’ve buried shipmates, a father and uncles who served honorably in defense of our Nation, all earned the right to have their coffins draped by it.
By God Almighty, I swore an oath to defend the Constitution, and that flag is a visible symbol of all the good that still remains within this country. That oath expires when I do.
No Sir, fot me it’s either the American flag or the black flag.
I love flying my US flag and enjoy hearing (via news reports) how it “triggers” the Leftists and makes them feel anxious and “unsafe.”
Same for us, American Flag flying from the house and Let’s Go Brandon flag flying from the top of the basketball hoop. We drove by a home yesterday where most of one side of the house (the side facing the street) had painted Let’s Go Brandon on it.
Fly the flag upside down. I’ve seen 2 in my town recently. It’s the sign of distress.
Well I have family who fought under that flag so I will
proudly fly it. I will NOT let them make me ashamed of
my flag..They want us to not want to fly a flag..Won;t
let them win…
I’ve just seen this, GB. I am horrified by the sarcasm. But Steve does not know her the way we do on the Open Thread. She is a lovely woman with many accomplishments to her credit. She has lived an extremely interesting life. And she is an age which I hope, God willing, to reach one day. I’m afraid, even so, his is an unfortunate comment. We here are all one family in this Tree. This one hurt my heart and I hope she never sees it.
His point of view is valid. He is saying “Don’t ask me to pledge allegiance to this crap.” I do an eye roll when I see her post. Ms Idaho just happens to be the person posting it. It is not an attack on her.
Ms Idaho probably thinks she is doing a great service and some like her posts. However, others might feel different due to the actions of government against the people. It is reasonable that with the continuous attack by the Biden administration that the mood will increase.
You misunderstand – I don’t think I am doing a great service.
I acknowledge that many people deeply resent the actions of our government against the people. I include myself in that group.
I put my Pledge post into the same category as Sundance’s daily post of The Lord’s Prayer (and the pix of the soldier guarding the tomb, and the pix of the soldier praying). These are there as reminders. Make of them what you will.
Don’t do an eye roll, please. Think of it as a sticky note – rip it off and throw it away if you want to.
My point of view is that I believe our VSG P DJT put key people in key positions (Patel Patriot’s Devolution). I believe Slag’s interpretation of a Presidency in Exile is real (Trump never conceded), I believe the video 2000 Mules is a piece of a puzzle (one of several) that can possibly lead us out of the morass we find ourselves in. I am not the only person to express the thought that we are waiting for a specific something – tho I do not profess to know what that something is – for events in motion or pending to unfold and the plan to be revealed.
I believe with my whole being that this is a war between God and Satan and his followers, between good and evil (if you will).
I am not prescient, I just read a lot – both treeper posts like yours and others.
If we don’t fight wherever and however we can, if we don’t keep believing we can and will win, then we will surely lose.
And, as burnetto44 reminds us, many have fought and died for our Flag and what it represents.
To all Patriots – keep up the good fight.
You grew up with this…
“Sticks and Stones may break my bones
But Names will never hurt me.
I do not feel insulted or hurt. My heart hurts for Steve and all who share his bleak outlook.
Personally I freely admit I am full of ‘hopium’. In the war between God and Satan and his followers, I have no doubt who will win.
As Dutchess101 keeps posting ‘Praying on the Armor of God’. Dare I say it? God Bless us All!
Yes you dare…and keep it up. I believe he really didn’t look at your meme, not really look. And though you rightly are not bothered, I couldn’t let it pass without comment. I hope you didn’t mind.
Amen!
My heartfelt thank you for your great defense. And I really appreciate the rest of the positive comments.
Sounds like Steve, unlike most of us, was not raised to start the school day, nor any official event, with the Pledge. His loss, not ours.
I’ve had a nagging thought in my head recently – hope it fits.
We live in a beautiful world, in particular a beautiful US of A, created by God. We share it with beautiful plants and animals, also created by God for His Greater Glory.
The fact that we have allowed corrupt people to desecrate what He created (yes, I believe the correct statement is ‘we allowed’) does not detract from “One Nation Under God’.
I believe many really good people are fighting to overcome that desecration. Many of us are doing what we can to ‘throw sand in the machine’.
To me, the Pledge of Allegiance meets its definition: a duty or fidelity said to be owed or freely committed by the people. So, we have a duty, freely given, to our Nation. Not to our pretend administration, obviously.
I don’t ask any of you to say the Pledge. I only ask that you say it loud and proud. Different sentence. If you are not grateful that you live here with us, if you find no joy in a sunrise or a bird’s song or a lovely rose, it is your loss (IMHO) I just made up that pix of our President hugging the flag (drawing from Jon McNaughton, thank you very much) and I added the words so it will be easy to ‘say the pledge’ daily,
As with so much posted at the treehouse and other places on the web, folks can easily scroll on by. If someone is ‘offended’ it is on them to enjoy their unhappiness and dissatisfaction. All 4 of my grandparents came here from Poland in the 1800s. I am Proud to be an American.
PS – I love Burnetto44’s flag posts daily. And thanks for your vote of support.
PPS – negative comments are not necessarily hurtful to me – they just reveal the unhappiness of the poster. We who mourn the loss of our freedom share that pain and unhappiness. I wish I could provide comfort.
Nice! 👍🏼👍🏼
👍👍
❤️❤️

Ms Idaho…..so terribly sorry that some idiot decided he was going to focus his anger and personal resentments on you! It’s a thing we often see in various forms around the Treehouse….people who for some reason are unhappy in their own personal lives, and therefore seek to cause others to experience that same level of unhappiness. Sundance has often discussed this phenominon with us in the back room.
Consider “Steve” an ex-Treeper. With love from us all…. ❤️
Ad rem – tho I understand the truth of your comment, do not be sorry. Yes, he put his unhappiness on display for all to see. And this is not the first, or even the 2nd time he has expressed his discontent.
What tickles me is the spin off. Love each and every comment – all but Steve’s in support of the Pledge, the Flag, our wonderful treeper community.
None of it would occupy today’s posts were it not for Steve.
IMHO – that is not a bad thing.
You’re a wise and lovely lady ms Idaho. Were ALL our commenters to display your level of grace…..
as they say ‘it takes one to know one’
or ‘same bakc’at’cha’
You folks do a tremendous job – someone described it as herding cats.
Thanks bunches for all you do
ps – a truly religious person (which I am not) might say ‘God works in mysterious ways’
Whatever Steve intended by his post, look at what he triggered.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Well said, and the part about gratitude is really a key point IMO.
Thank you for posting a picture of those paintings.
Excellent post, thank you for sharing it.
We used to say the pledge every morning in school.
Then after that, my favorite teacher Mr. Hofflander would say a prayer.
The good old days.
same her
History of the Pledge

enjoy
Obama was a master of this.
Government creates a problem.
Then they make the problem even worse with their actions inaction.
All while blaming somebody else.
Rinse repeat compound the problems.
He is not that bright. This is someone else’s work or a committee.
disagree. Barack Obama is a SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT in masterfully executing just what Jrod describes.
He was the King of Straw Men
“There are those who say……”
No one ever called him on that BS tactic. No one
as such he is a talented actor. he can read a script well. and knows who butters his bread. nothing much more. a useful tool
It takes a village. Like a community including Bill Ayers, Val Jarrett, Susan Rice, Soros and sons?
Construction is getting hit as well.
The cost of lumber has been astronomically high for a year now.
Lack of energy and food will cause civil unrest….It’s also used to justify Wars……Seems exactly where this is going…..Purposely…..
Let’s see after mid terms. Will a republican lead congress and Senate turn things around or will they play the blame game to tarnish the Dems further to supposedly gain more power aka the white house. We shall see who is real all 12 of them if we’re lucky.
Very few Republicans will win anywhere. They do not intend to ever let Pubs take the majority ever again. Oh may be a few here and there but not enough to ever doubt their total control over America. After 24 things will become very communist.
You are right Dee!
I saw a lot of us are saying that they will bloodbaths Democrats in November; they are all wrong for the following reasons:
-Republicans along with Democrats orchestrated the stealing of the 2020 elections.
-Democrats have the Media working for them
-Republicans are scared from calling them racist-.
-Last but not least; Democrats constituencies vote only because you democrats.
Republicans might win the Senate; no way they win the House.
Think you have that bass-aqwards; the House is assuredly goung to go R, with significant# or R pickups, the Senate, not so much.
However, the count of Rvs D seats is irrelevant; the only count that matters is America First vs Uniparty.
And there, we stand a good chance of sending in reinforcements for MTG etc. in the House, and MAY actually get a genuine AmericaFirst Senator.
Focusing on the Federal offices, at the expence of State elections isa big mistake, however.
Florida may no longer be the only State with a MAGA Gov., and supportive legislature.
As an aggressive assertion of Federalism isan essential part of fighting back, and purging the party of RINOS, at the precinct, district, county State AND National level is required.
Purge the RINOS, ALL things are possible.
FAIL to purge the Rinos, and nothing substantive is possible, regardless who is POTUS in 2024.
Even if they do get the House the system will persevere. There might be some big shows but it will be as always, style over substance, then right back to business as usual.
No, I respectfully disagree, Dee.
They have had 250 years to game the system, and BALLOT fraud, while rampant and diverse, is only 1/2 of how they game the system.
The other half is Uniparty “controlled opposition”, and it is the real key to them holding power, and making gains in their agenda.
Focusing on Ballot fraud IS important, but unless we focus on ELECTION fraud, that is the only choice being a Uniparty-D or a Uniparty-R (RINO) candidate, hence no choice at ALL, we will make no significant progress on addressing Ballot fraud, as the RINOS will block any such efforts.
If they do manage to win, they will put RINO’S in leadership positions, along with the most important committee heads, so nothing will change!
Perhaps, but we have a better chance with a (MAGA + RINO) leadership than one made up of (Dems + RINO).
Still, electronic voting is election fraud by definition.
Only time will tell if an 80% MAGA voting wave can overcome the fraud and corruption of the uniparty come 2022.
There could be a red wave, of sorts, this fall but if there is it will not amount to anything. The system is self-healing and self-repairing. The last time it was seriously wounded was in the 2016 election and it healed itself completely by 11/3/2020.
It will not make that mistake again.
Translated: They will NEVER cede power, peacefully, to true political opposition. Not ever. They can’t because they would all face execution and life in prison for the crimes they have committed. They and their families would have all of their illegally gained assets seized. And it would reverberate across the country and corporations as well.
Think about it. Do you believe they have NOT committed crimes of treason, crimes against humanity, mass murder? We know they have done all of that and much more. Do you really think they would RISK turning over control to those who would expose it and hold them accountable?
Not asking you to respond to me. Just think it through for yourself.
Cheers!
Diesel is being diverted to Europe as they are in worse shape than the East Coast. Unfortunately the East Coast has been shutting down refineries and used to import diesel from Russia. Colonial Pipeline is not full, so Gulf Coast diesel can go to the East Coast, however it is being exported to Europe. Cutting off imports from Russia can’t be fixed. Releasing more SPR crude oil does nothing. It comes to refining capacity, and that is fixed as it takes a few years to increase capacity.
My prediction is that only electronic vote flipping, along with epic levels of vote stuffing, can possibly push back the wave of non-dead voters who want frankly anyone else in charge come November.
Biden has been shipping oil and gas to the EU. The corrupt old fool seems to hate Americans.
Ukraine and the EU are waaaaaaaay more important.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

How does an entire country lose its common sense over a theory as stupid as it is preposterous, Global Warming. If you don’t understand how powerful propaganda is when used on innocent children, maybe it is time to think about it now that those children are grown up and participating in the politics of what was once a society made up of a majority of people who have some common sense.
So called Global warming is a useful tool. As is Covid. To crash our country and make it Communist
CUT THE CORD!!!
The Democrats emocrats marketing strategy is FEAR! They have an arsenal of Bogeyman to scare the masses into voting for them:
A: Russian Collusion.
B: White Supremacists.
C: Climate change.
D: Coronavirus hoax.
C: Russian invasion of Europe.
Only thing that scares be us seeing a photo of hitlery or Mike naked by accident! Scarry!
Actually, the strategy of the Insane Idiots In Charge( the Uniparty) is “Divide and Conquer”.
All that you list, and more were fully supported by the Republican party leadership, overtly or covertly, and all you list have the effect of dividing the population into “pros and cons”.
As long as we are arguing amongst ourselves, we are distracted and divided, and not Uniting together against THEM.
Instilling fear thru a false narrative is a TACTIC, in order to achieve a STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE, which is Divide and Conquer.
By Mass formation psychosis!
Mass formation psychosis is when a large part of a society focuses its attention to a leader(s) or a series of events and their attention focuses on one small point or issue. Followers can be hypnotized and be led anywhere, regardless of data proving otherwise.
Remember the media’s minute by minute death numbers during Covid when Trump was President? Hypnotizing the masses with fear.
More people died with Covid under Biden but no 24/7 fear mongering with death tolls.
Global warming has always been just a ‘cover’ story for their real objectives. Namely mass murder.
15cyears ago I would watch my 3 grand children for a week while their parents were on vacation. First thing I did was unplug the TV and hide the remotes.
I gave them driving lessons. The boys I taught to back up trailers.
They were 10…12 and 14. They always talk about that week. Abd they quit watch TV.
Not communism, Global Fascism.
Global Satanism.
Yes, that is the true definition of both Fascism and Communism, as well as all tyrannical systems before, as they both spring from the same rotten tree.
Wrong. It is communism. Global communism. I’ve said before on here and I will repeat myself. Communism is a much bigger threat than Nazis. Commies know how to infiltrate.
The label doesn’t matter. Same people.
The name changers.
The name stealers.
With the assist of Satan’s minions of every ethnicity and nation.
Congress just came within a whisper of passing a bill making dismembering an 8 and three quarters month old fetus legal throughout the land.
The Church of Satan is claiming in a lawsuit that killing a fetus is a protected religious ritual under RFRA.
They aren’t really hiding it now.
they are being disingenuous (lying) about the 9,000 unused leases. I read quite a while ago that the leases are unused because the wretched gov’t refuses to issue permits for the necessary infrastructure, such as roads, in order to be able to drill
They are also taking away the leases that have the most promising geophysical signatures. They leave the junk that no one wants
Obama had thousands of leases he never signed. This is a repeat of his horrific term at a much faster pace.
There must be many congressmen who are either threatened, blackmailed or being paid off.
Why aren’t more of them raising holy hell about this?
Where is the push back, from anyone, including us?
Because it is the uniparty. They are in on it
The ones not in on it have skeletons in the closet.
We might be blindly hoping for some turn around in this green new scam bs come Nov 2022. It’s likely there are enough GOP rinos making money from this energy wealth transfer scam that nothing will change. Unlikely the kickbacks from the destruction of America is limited to the left.
Ya think?
……….and yet all that ‘wealth’ in from of IOUs will gain them nothing among the ashes they are creating. Any nation’s fiat currency is only as valuable as the ‘real’ wealth it can purchase on that day. Real wealth can only be produced by the fusion of real things; like energy, material, capital, and labor.
Thats why Gates is buying up farmland, and Blackrock is buying up HOUSES.
They know $’s are soon going to be worthless, and so are putting their wealth in TANGIBLE assets.
THEY will own EVERYTHING, You will own NOTHING.
Ok, I understand what you say; they may yet rule over ashes.
But given that all real wealth first requires energy why are they doing this?
All real ‘net’ wealth proceeds from the fusion of energy, material, capital, and labor.
The last 200 years has proven this, has it not?

Msm? Don’t believe what fox says! Liars all!
I know some of you get tired of hearing me say it but… Holodomor 2.0 You may want to stop gazing at the shiny objects and start studying history. The Holodomor…what was it? Who did it? How did they do it? The only thing that will defeat this zio-supremecy is nationalism. This is why they flood our borders and come down with the full power of the federal government at any sign of nationalism. You don’t see the DOJ go after antifa or blm. But go to a school board meeting or attend a patriotic rally and you find yourself in a gulag.
“A sense of national identity of Ukrainian peasant, combined with his mental individualism contradicted the ideology of the Soviet Union. That was the basis of Ukrainian nationalism and was a threat to the unity and the very existence of the USSR. That is why the object of genocide crime was the Ukrainian nation, to weaken which the Stalin’s totalitarian regime carried out genocidal extermination of Ukrainian peasantry as the prevalent part of the nation and the source of its spiritual and material strength.” (Source: https://holodomormuseum.org.ua/en/the-history-of-the-holodomor/)
This is why they want to so badly to disarm us.
Don’t rule out scaring us into arming up so we kill each other to save them the trouble…
Yes, ignore the rattle, crush the snake’s head.
With the Bungles Biden gang of nefarious misfits trying to solve a problem they created, it’s like a guy out on a lake with a leaky boat shooting holes in the bottom trying to let the water out.
Here lies the problem. Everyone here is well aware of “the deep state” “the globalist” etc and then turn around and blame everything on the empty suits in Washington. They are nothing more than a clown show to keep the masses distracted. The problem is the Zionist have occupied every dept in our government. They want to keep us divided and dilute us with illegals so we have no national identity. As long as they keep us arguing democrats vs republicans, abortion, border, stolen elections etc, we will never unite as an American people. As soon as we realize this and unite as proud strong Americans, we can defeat them just as the Russians did in the 90s. As long as we keep arguing about which empty suit really cares about us, we’re screwed. Nationalism and national pride are good things. That is why they are so afraid of it and try to crush it.
In Maine diesel is $6.49/gallon. Note that not just diesel but also heating oil….the Northeast will suffer this winter. Cost of propane is out of sight too. What to burn to keep warm…..wood is the final answer. Pellet stoves need electricity which may become an issue and coal…the fuel of choice for my cast iron cookstove…. could become too costly or scarce. Maine has pushed a program since to install electric heat pumps at a discount….if electricity isn’t available….then what? I just wish I’d put solar panels on my roof.
Can you not source firewood for your cast iron cookstove?
yes I’ve burned wood in my cookstove but its far too inefficient for that as a heat source. Its ok for cooking but not heat
Ahhh okay. I had a little cast iron stove with a one pot cooktop when I lived in the far north (6 feet of snow in the winter). It heated my entire home, but the home was built with the right architecture for that. I always had 5 cords of wood on hand, but never needed that much since the stove was so efficient. The brand was Jotul. I guess it depends upon a lot of things.
WE always used hard wood, it burns slower and produces more heat, having the proper heat exchanger and damper make it more efficient.
And a ‘cactus’ to the stovepipe and get even more heat that way.
Yes your Jotul is a more modern stove. My cookstove is from the 1920s and was made to burn coal. Most were later changed to burning kerosene which was done to mine. It had two glass bottles with wicks in the firebox that were for that purpose. I have a damper in the chimney plus the stove has its own damper too and a firebox full of nut coal will last thru the night. Its great at heating my whole house even in -20 degrees and I usually hold off until November in using it…other wise my house is too hot and I’m having to crack open a window or two. My local woodstove dealer sells Quadra fire and Vermont Castings stoves.
This is why California made it illegal to build new houses with wood burning fireplaces.
So there would be no back up system when the lights go out.
No natural gas heating in California or New York homes anymore!
Have you tried putting bubble wrap on the insides of windows? Doing that keeps in the heat nicely for me, in the winter.
bubble wrap taped together then blinds then shades and thermal drapes an all on same window & open door in day and close it at night
I have new insulated window shades on all my windows and they do a fine job of keeping out the cold and also the summer heat. My cookstove is made to burn coal and does a very fine job of that, keeping my house 70 F with no problem. The stove is not made to efficiently burn wood.
Heat pumps don’t work below 40deg. So not a great choice for a winter in Maine. Might be ok spring and fall when it’s above 40.
I had a dual heat pump/propane system in my house in PA. Trust me, the house was cold on a day when it was 35 outside yet the sun was very bright. (And I had a highly insulated house) It would fool the temp gauge to run the heat pump instead of the propane furnace.
Here’s a link from “Efficiency Maine” saying the highest efficiency pumps are good to -15F and they’ll shut off if outside temps get too cold. But I agree with you…my winter temps of -20F, without factoring in the wind chill, are too much for these heat pumps and I see them in lots of houses around here. I’m looking at also installing a hand pump for my deep well and freezing is also an issue for those pumps but the brand “Simple Pump” has that covered.

Every time my contempt for this illegitimate criminal regime reaches a new high, they do something more to increase it further.
Diesel fuel is what delivers much of America’s bare essentials.
A diesel shortage will bring the Nation to a standstill.
Keep in mind that even though the 2020 election was stolen and ripped away from the grip of most American voters due to a variety of frauds, many people voted for this knowing it was coming. These nitwits will never change and there are lots of them.
There is going to come a time in the not too distant future, when our MAGA leader, President Trump, will have to make a move.
We simply cannot survive until 2024 and the Junta is going to make our lives damn near impossible from now until the November elections.
As many have pointed out- if just ONE PERCENT (1%) of the productive members of society, which would be mostly MAGA people, refused to work, pulled our money out of the stock market and generally WENT ON STRIKE for even one week, we would see a real change.
These Bidenista Bastards need at least 99% compliance to continue in power and keep torturing us.
There is no other leader other than President Trump who could pull it off.
Think about it. Any other suggestions?
He would probably have to be willing to rot in the gulag though.
After being replaced by an illegal alien.
I’m with you.
We must start somewhere.
Seneca, I agree with your opinion. I, being an elder myself, have no problem going to war with the installed coup and their puppets and followers BUT I believe President Trump (he won and we all know it) would never go there as evidenced by his non-use of the Insurrection Act.
However, as you clearly stated, if PDJT called for your ideas I believe many of us would follow them and it would suddenly turn it into 2%, then 5% and KABOOM! They wouldn’t be able to force us to work YET because we still have the 2A.
Either the cabal would retreat (which I highly doubt since they have control of every agency including the Armed Forces, evidently) or we would be in the same situation as if PDJT DID enact the Ins.Act and it would be us (good) versus them (evil) to the death.
I have a different idea how to combat this evil but it requires high levels of expertise and covert operations targeting multiple targets…..which would put the demons on their heels….but that’s off topic.
I think your ideas should be tried first, followed by lots of prayers, followed by lots of passing of ammo.
Great comments, Thor. Here’s where I’m coming from: I think that we all agree with Sundance when he says there are way more of US than there are of them.
The Junta requires 100% cooperation for their foul plans to work. Think of it.
Look at what Gandhi accomplished with civil disobedience.
ONE PERCENT of us throwing sand into the machine for a couple of weeks.
I am trying. I would say I’m 90+% Galt. Retired early, collecting social security, 90% of my money pulled out of the stock market prior to the Biden inauguration. I am minimizing my tax obligation for as long as I can.
Lives, Fortunes, and Sacred Honor need to be laid upon the table.
Couldn’t imagine that exports of USA distillates might be part of the problem. Need funding for the big guy.
US Distillate Exports is at a current level of 1.357M , up from 1.189M last week and up from 956.00K one year ago. This is a change of 14.13% from last week and 41.95% from one year ago.

That’s because the JoBama regime is shipping US gas and oil to the EU.
and no one at one of their meetings says ” y’all realize we’re creating a population of 330,000,000 with nothing left to lose…right?” you gotta wonder where these peoples’ heads are at
Regime Change 101 – They want a revolt. They are agitating for a revolt. They want Chaos. They have prepared awesome tools they badly want to unleash on us. They also spent tens of millions of $ building luxury bunkers + fortress islands + places in New Zealand in preparation for the forced collapse of global civilization. The Cold War came to an end in 1992 but the luxury bunkers + deep underground bases kept coming….
They want us dead. They have the tools to do it + survive…
Live your best life! Mexico is great!
IF you can keep your head, while all about you are losing theirs…
Most Americans can see Mexico by looking out the window.
They believe that the populace are all sheep, and that there are no more wolves or sheepherders left in the pack.

Time again for these strung together words from Petey Bootyplugg:
‘We understand the concerns that need to be understood in order to evaluate the concerns that have been expressed. Our understanding has led to a larger discussion about the concerns and we understand the need to coordinate with our partner agencies toward the common goal of understanding. Now that we have the analysis to understand the greater concern, we are evaluating the fastest way to express the understanding of the analysis to a more broad network of partners. As soon as that network understanding is in place, then we will have a better understanding for the American people about their concern‘

… with help from a whole lot of Republican officeholders.
No ‘Uniparty’ members running as Republicans, big difference.
Keep in mind that the Uniparty is not stupid.
They know that classic Democratic talking points won’t work in districts that haven’t implemented full-on voter and election fraud.
After which they can do whatever crazy thing their paymasters want them to do; even if +90% of the alive voters oppose it in their election area.
I wish this wasn’t true, but for many regions of the country, the voting system is simply used to legitimate the illegitimate officeholders.
Something just seems to not add up here.
None of the wells in operation prior to 22 January 2020 have gone dry.
None of the refineries in operation prior to 22 January 2020 have shut down.
So, LACK OF NEW SOURCES is not the issue.
The “fuel shortages” are not all JoeBama’s doing….what have all the Oil and Energy Companies done since 22 January 2020 that is any different than before that date…other than stop delivering DOMESTICALLY and/or jacking up the prices GLOBALLY, because there is not a big stick in the White House beating their brains out.
It seems that since the Lion left the White House on 22 January 2020, the rats have been at work helping JoeBama wreck the economy, since the Lion is not there holding their collective feet to the fire. There are real live targets hiding in behind the easy target of JoeBama.
Hate to say it but there is truth in the statement by Nancy Pelosi, last month, that the Oil Companies are the blame. Of course she leaves out the part about DC supporting the oil the Companies in return for $$$.
Unfortunately you are incorrect about the refineries. Several have shut down starting in 2020 because they are converting to produce biofuels. The problem is that biofuels require food from which to extract the oils. And the food cannot be grown without regular diesel. Not to mention that existing diesel engines cannot burn biofuels without modifications, and that biodiesel is significantly less efficient than petroleum diesel.
Mike Adams explains it all here:
http://brighteon.com/e7d89e08-7f1e-4070-8ec7-d1936c46ea9c
NO I disagree, the Oil and Energy Producing Companies chose to shut down to make bio-fuels. THEY were NOT forced to shut down.
They knowingly made a harmful decision, knowing damn well the outcome and that they will get political cover from the UNI-PARTY. There ws no planning to bridge overtot he bio-fuel production and no coordination attempted to ensure the economy could actually transition.
There is a big difference between willful and forced behavior. Therefore my statement STANDS as CORRECT.
Mike Adams only tells part of the story.
What do you disagree with? I never once wrote or even alluded to the refineries being “forced to convert.”
They **are** converting – it’s a fact.
And THATs part of the reason for diesel shortages. Domestic diesel refining capacity has been reduced by these refineries stopping the production of regular diesel to convert to biodiesel.
Their reason(s) for making their decisions is a whole different discussion. I didn’t broach that topic.
You can write Mike Adams if you disagree with anything he said. But I don’t recall him saying they were forced either.
There willful conversion is causing the issue. That IS the ISSUE I raised. Your failure to address my assertion is a lack on your part of by avoiding the real issue.
Your comment was submitted debating the issue of Industry being part of the problem and willfully causing damage.
As for hiding behind Mike Adams, you used him as your means to address my assertion so my issue is with your weak response and not Mike Adams.
Thank you GB. I don’t put my trust in man I put my trust in God.
God does not pump oil or even care if it’s pumped. The material is not his concern that is your job.
Also, what are the oil producing state Governors doing??
Interesting case in point: Just today we drove from Dallas to Bentonville, AR to see the kids & grand kids. Keep in mind this is a major 4-Lane, North-South trucking route.
Prices in Collin County, TX: $4.20 regular and $5.50 diesel.
Prices between Durrant, OK and McAlister, OK on US 69/75: $3.85 regular, $5.15 diesel
Prices between Eufala, OK and Ft. Smith, AR were $3.99 regular, $5.20 diesel
Prices in Arkansas along I-49 to Bentonville, AR were $3.95 regular, $5.20 diesel

First on the economic front, the DEMs have always wanted a $15/hr minimum wage – their inflation program will accomplish that – and they will crow about it to low info voters that prop them up.
Second, they want to bring the middle class down to the poor’s level – then everyone, in communist fashion, are equal. Their objective is to cause “armed rebellion” so as to to declare marshal law. Then the Jack boots will enforce the DEMs takeover. But the back bone of this country will totally reject military service. We will be hit with some nukes eventually. Read the chapters of Revelation Chapter 17 and 18 about “Babylon the Great.”
Couple quotes:
Speaking of ‘Babylon the Great, the Great Whore’ : This woman was imaged as “..siting on a scarlet beast that was covered in blasphemous names…” (the Devil) (REV 17:3). The beast ” Hates the prostitute and will leave her naked, … will eat her flesh and BURN her with FIRE.” (REV 17:16). “The woman that you saw is that great city that rules over the kings of the earth.” (REV 17;17).
“Fallen, Fallen is Babylon the Great. She has become the home for demons, … every evil spirit.” All ” the kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.” (REV 18:2-3). “In one day her plagues will over take her; death, mourning and and famine. She will be consumed by FIRE…” (REV 18:7-8). “Woe, Woe, O Great City, O Babylon city of power! In one hour your doom has come!” (REV14:10). “The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your riches and splendor have vanished ..” REV 18:14).
Think how this applies to the USA. Sounds spot on unfortunately.
These passages certainly bring home the concept of the ‘Remnant of God’.
Namely that those that somehow managed to survive such evil times, and yet are still faithful, will not, in fact, cannot receive God’s punishment by the laws that even God must obey, because he created them.
Thus they must be removed from the Earth, while still fully alive.
Praise be; that such knowledge of what is to come is only understood by those that believe his words.
Jesus said that when He returns, He will not find the True Faith on Earth – which has also been interpreted to mean all True Believers have been removed before the worst happens.
Yes, a bit of self-prediction on the part of God; because those that remain will be removed by him for biblical/logical reasons.
The basic measure will be that somehow those that survive tribulation are still faithful to God. Praise be.
How else could God deliver his final judgment; unless he remove those that survived and yet remained faithful?
It’s so both logically and emotionally obvious if you ask me.
Eugenics. Period.
If you follow the Climate Change Religion, we all give back to nature via decomposition. There won’t be a campfire because we’ll all be — Dead.
From the start, it was clear, if you believe their “Science”, the only way to Save All Life on Earth was to – kill/eliminate 80-90% of the humans on the planet. Period. No amount of reduction in consumption + pollution would be enough.
That was why I couldn’t take them seriously. Surely they would not try to kill everyone……Then, 2020….
The Georgia Guide Stones are a real thing. They stand there, silently calling people fools who say it is only a ‘ conspiracy theory.’
Emperor’s New Clothes. They can’t handle admitting the horrors of the truth. The Transhumanist have been openly telling us all of this for well over 50 years…
Please notice, it hasn’t mattered how many of their “Science” predictions have failed to happen + that what they describe as the Utopian Society that will emerge after most humans have been eliminated is – the same from Plato + Bacon + many an advocate for Despoticism across thousands of years. Culling the population down to a more controllable size is as old as civilization itself… long, long, long before the combustible engine + billions of people on the planet…
Yes, the future of the Earth is guided by the will of Satan.
Though I will state for the recorded that; going from less than 10 million to 9 Billion today, God has been winning all along the way.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha……..!!!!!!

I believe the Biden regime along with the global elite are attempting to crash the economy. Much easier for the government to take full control at that point.
They are not worried about elections , if the election never happens.
Meh, they may think crashing the economy will make it easier, but I think it makes it harder.
Yes but the control of what? A smoldering heap of death and destruction?
Reminds of a statement attributed to Satan, “Better to Rule in Hell than to serve in Heaven.”
Eugenics. That is the religion. Climate is the cover story.
People should check out CS Lewis’ Space Trilogy written between 1938-1945. He had extremely keen insights into the Bible + Science + Society especially the Elites.
People are familiar with 1984 + Brave New World. Lewis moved in the same elite intellectual circles in Britain + he gave us a window into what the Elite Eugenicists we’re planning + why.
There is a reason the Hindu goddess Kali is their favorite.

I can’t see why some enterprising Conservative hasn’t brought a bill to the floor banning private use of corporate jets? It would be a nice slap at the toxic lefties flying around and would at least be something offensive in the battle against elite environmentalists…
Diesel fuel is a by product of gasoline production and in no way is there a shortage.
For those of us seasoned people who drive and operated equipment and drive trucks knows this whole diesel rip off is intentional.
Never has diesel fuel been $1.50 a gallon more then gasoline, this is a staged ripoff and going after the trucking industry and those of us who drive diesel trucks.
When you look at the price of a barrel of oil versus what we pay at the pump it’s proof we are being raped on purpose and they can’t blame Russia because it all started way before the corrupt Nazi cleansing in Ukraine.
They’re shipping it overseas.
What’s the point of highlighting the cash price? How many people carry hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars around in cash? 18 wheeler fills up with 200 gallons, that’s $1339.80, credit. Filling up every other day, yeah right, I carry three grand cash. Crap.
I trucked 48 states for 8 yrs, owned my own and was totally independent. Company truck drivers carry fuel cards, and the bigger companies have contracts with the truck stop chains. The big companies also have fuel management programs that tell each driver where to buy fuel and how much to minimize expenses. I paid for fuel in my 18 wheeler with a debit card, to avoid the higher credit prices. ALL freight pays a GENEROUS fuel surcharge, calculated weekly based on the national avg price of fuel. You’ll know there’s a serious shortage when road vehicles are permitted to use “off road” (red dyed) fuel. I saw it happen once in 2007.
With the DPF and SCR system in current trucks you wouldn’t get far. The red dye makes it so white smoke comes from the tailpipe of diesels. Here in OK the guys that think they can get away with it are very noticeable, and will usually end up pulled over either by cops or the check engine light.
“Never let a crisis go to waste.” Now they are creating them!
Sage News Live , look it up on you-tube , a Treeper posted him yesterday.
He says some refineries have shut down , AND there is a capacity storage issue.
No idea how accurate it is.
Dave Walsh, energy consultant, past president of Mitsubishi Power Systems spoke to Steve Bannon today about the east coast diesel shortage and price increases. He mentioned the fact that some refineries have shut in the past 2 years. However, he did mention that not only farm equipment and truckers need diesel fuel BUT most back-up power sources, in the case of a power outage, rely on diesel fuel. Think hospitals, healthcare facilities, data centers, and food processing plants to name a few. It might get ugly out there. https://www.globalpwr.com/top-ten-industries-requiring-megawatts-of-generator-power/
Biden is perfect for 0bama. Most people will focus on Biden while 0bama destroys the country he hates and Biden is so stupid and demented he doesn’t know he is being used as a human shield.
The Washington DC elites are chauffeur driven everywhere so they have no idea how difficult and expensive gasoline and diesel are for We The People! Perhaps they’ll begin to understand when their chauffeur doesn’t show up because of the ChiCom Joe forced shortages of gasoline and diesel! But even then I doubt it! Purposeful energy shortages to “save the planet” for a hoax is tyranny! No diesel and no baby formula! How much more will we take?
““As such, the East Coast of the U.S. has been hit especially hard, resulting in diesel prices above $6.00 per gallon in that area.”
Truckers have always been resilient and will adapt as needed…which will likely mean not traveling in those areas.
It will be absolutely delicious to see the left on the east coast get hammered for their actions. Inflation hitting them and now inflated prices for food due to shortages.
Unfortunately, many other innocents will get caught up as well.
How’s that stolen election working out for you now?
I seem to remember a video of farmers dumping diesel fuel last year . Anyone remember that , or what that was about ?
You know what else runs on diesel fuel; trains
And farm equipment.
Life as we know it would cease to exist without diesel.
Sundance misses a biggie:
CARB – California Air Resources Board – outlaws trucks made in 2010 or before – at the end of the year. That will have a big effect on the west coast.
A transportation company I know is selling their old trucks out of state, but says things will get worse before they get better.
EPA is likely the root of this evil – it happened in the Marine/Fisheries industries as well, people had to repower their boats and ships to remain “in compliance”, behind a surrounding phalanx of regulatory hurdles and tripwires in order to continue operating their businesses. Could you, or anyone you know, afford to take perfectly good engines out of all their vehicles and power equipment, junk them, and pay for or mortgage new pwerplants at the rate of $10K to north of $50K for each engine?
The same heat death is now destroying the trucking industry, and it is spreading to automotive and aviation economies rapidly. The kudzu of government regulation is strangling every sector of the economy, by design, and it is a one way trip.
And wonder if that newly designed powerplant is going to function as advertised? I remember the first wave of EGR Class 8 diesel engines…didn’t work out well. Couldn’t keep them cool enough to run, and fuel economy was crap.
I own an ecodiesel. Been a good truck but the weakest links are the egr (cooler-my egr is disabled via a tune), and oil cooler (shares a 3 way valve and radiator with oil, coolant, tyranny fluid). EGR and 1100+⁰ sooty diesel exhaust…what could go wrong?
Looks like everything is going as planned.
The Brandon dumpster fire crew either is so “clueless” they make the wrong decision every time, or they are intentional to make the decision that will inflict the most damage every time.
You can’t be wrong every time without intention.
Globalists want to bring the USA to its knees. Make us fall in line with the rest of the socialistic countries. They stole the election and are now implementing their globalist agenda.
War against the American people.
I’s not only a war against the american people it’s against all of humanity ..It gets more frightening by the day.Even the people them self now are making war against each other .Doing some shopping yesterday about 90% of the people where masked even though they where not forced to do so . Can there be hope if almost all the population is retarded and would walk on hands and feet liking the pavement if told it’s for their health .????
It will be dark and cold in the future. No campfires as that would be burning fossil fuel.
Nope, wood is NOT a fossil fuel. Coal, oil, and natural gas are fuels created by the rotting and decaying matter of organic materials that create long-chain hydrocarbons or other gas products (like CH3). And instead of burning wood, consider burning bodies. Lot’s more fuel once you get them started.
