Reports are starting to come out that various regions in the Southeastern U.S. are running out of diesel fuel [North Carolina Example] – [Midway Kentucky Example].
The empty service station tanks in North Carolina today come after Mansfield Energy warned of a critical “diesel fuel shortage in the Southeastern United States, including North and South Carolina” [link]
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — A diesel fuel alert issued a week ago by a key fuel logistics company hasn’t changed — despite a small increase in inventories of diesel over the last week. The alert from Mansfield Energy a week ago was for the Southeastern United States, including North and South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, and Maryland.
The low supply left the Southeastern United States with just 25 days worth of diesel fuel, the company said. U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported Friday those numbers were actually down a bit from last week along the East Coast.
Low supplies make it difficult to find the fuel quickly, which means trucks have to visit several terminals and “strains local trucking capacity,” the company said. The low supplies also mean an increase in prices for diesel. On Friday, diesel prices opened up 10 cents for the week, Mansfield said. (read more)

This diesel shortage is threatening to crush America’s truckers and farmers—the backbone of our economy. The entire supply chain will feel the impact.
RT if you agree: Biden needs to wake up to this crisis and unleash American energy production NOW.

I fear that this is all by design. The Obama run Biden regime hates America and are likely all in on the Great Reset.
Ozero is not behind this, he was never that smart or ambitious. The globalists are behind this.
I don’t think you understand the concept of a puppet and a puppeteer.
Thus sayeth,.
Tis better to keep your keyboard silent, and be thought a fool, than to let your fingers fly, and remove all doubt.
Who’s the troll?
I think Oboingo was one of many from a farm team of groomed puppets. He’s not at all that smart (ie: watch him try to form sentences without his teleprompter) , nor does he exhibit self-starting or self-determination. What he does exhibit, IMO is a very successfully groomed automaton who does his master’s bidding seamlessly. Get him off the predetermined line and he really flops around.
obumbler is a part of this CLOWN SHOW!!!!!!!1
Of course it’s all by design and you’re correct it’s a part of the Great Reset .
You think? Fundamentally change America wasn’t a clue? Ozero’s fawning over wanting to join the PU, oops I mean EU. Accidentally purposely dropping care packages too ISIS. Taxing the Rich, that make over 15k. Renewing & turning the Bush/Cheney Patriot act onto Americans & future presidents. Clinton’s selling everything including our missle tech. CYA Dada Bush announcing NWO. So many signals since Kennedy, that America was being placed on the altar, for a price by our political self proclaimed elite class. Taking our Rights away, that only God has the Right & Power too take!
See the Constitution & Bill of Rights is very simple. You don’t need a Supreme anything. Unless you intend to force or, trick people too give up God’s will. There’s been a long long road too where this country is at today.
It’s been Generational Warfare since Benjamin Franklin announced we have given you a Constitutional Republic, notice he didn’t say Democracy (which is mob rule.) Mr. Franklin also stated if we could keep it!
Well all the crazy conspiracy theories later, only proven true & that we kicked God out of our country. Only proves, No we certainly didn’t keep it. We allowed the Federal Corruption to grow & grow deeper into our lives. Now it avoids the only responsibility it had under the states agreement. Protect our borders from invasion! Too late, too little common sense. Turn the page? Are we back to 1776 or, we going to accept the nwo 👹? It was never a 🤡🌎, it was & is 👹🌎. We forgot the basics of life. We listened to the science, that taught US. We were smarter than our ancestors. We will now learn allover again what is really at stake. It has & will cost many of US our souls but, we will learn again what our founders already knew. Tic toc, tic toc what are we going to do next?
Yet most libs wont get it
Most libs hate fox news; they DON’T get it, that its controlled op.
They don’t get the Uniparty concept, at all.
They hate McConnell and McCarthy and don’t get it at all ehen the Dem leadership plays them like a fiddle.
Except Kev and Mitch aren’t being played. They are complicit in the destruction.
Welp…looks like it’s time for our Transportation Secretary to adopt another child and take some more maternity leave. It fixed the shipping backlog, it might fix the diesel shortage.
SO, where are they going to park all the out of fuel semis, where nobody will see them?
Looks like it will be where ever they run out on all those Racist Highways.
That should make it a whole lot easier for the looters.
Since there won’t be any (little) gasoline to drive with, the semis can be parked on the highways – no one will see them.
Just in time for the Holidaze!
More like the Holodomor.
Well I guess those that said this is all fear porn won’t be apologizing today
Does anyone have numbers? How many refineries do we have active? How many have been shut down due to sabotage or corporate decisions? How is the government pressuring refineries to either shut down or change their output to something other than fuels and lubricants? Where are the active and partially and fully closed refineries? How many went down because they depended on Canadian oil inputs? How has the shutting down of fracking affected gas outputs?
God bless
Hey Mike. Your keyboard works. Do some research and tell us what you find.
I’ve been looking at this stuff for awhile, here’s my reply to Mike:
I don’t know about active but shut downs are Lyondellbasell, Houston by end 2023, already shut down are Phillips 66, Belle Chaste LA, Limetree Bay, St Croix, USVI, Shell Convent, St James LA, Marathon in Martinez, CA and Gallup NM, Phillips 66, Rodeo, CA, Hollyfrontier, Cheyenne WY, Calcasieu Refining, Lake Charles, LA. Google for The Last Barrel Standing by Deloitte, they detail the future of oil and the plans to outsource oil refining to third world countries with less regulatory environments and low labor cost. That’s why Chevron said the oil industry will not reopen, upgrade or build new refineries in the US, they’ll never make their money back. The Keystone wouldn’t be bringing regular oil in from Canada, it will be sand tars that oil companies don’t want to mess with to clean up and was slanted to be exported out of the country. Biden admin got shot down trying to close existing operations, the courts struck them down, right now only the permitting process is shuttered. This off shoring of oil refining plans has been going on for quite some time. Obama gave Africa billions to upgrade their grid in preparation for the changeover and Trump gave them thirty billions to build the refineries. Europe was way out front of all this and through development banks monies, same as with Obama and Trump, backed private confidential investors with development bank monies to build oil refineries in China and India so they could get the cheapest bids for their new gas infrastructure. Read the Deloitte article and you can see this has been in the works for a long, long time, has nothing to do with climate change and that they have all been misleading us.

If you need a breadcrumb trail to get started, all national fuel inventories are tracked by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), a department of the DOE. There is a complex data gathering system already in place, and all of this data is public.
It is these inventory reports that become the basis of all these fear-mongering articles. If you inform yourself, you won’t be afraid… you will understand.
Right now, we are in a position of low reserves, where the excess of supply vs consumption is getting low. As it gets scarce, prices increase, and local distribution issues crop up.
It is not systematic stoppages, and before it gets to that point, there will be rationing a la the 1970s.

Joe Biden is a mushroom in a suit and his cabinet is the worst ever. Every single one of them is a loser. Granholm and Buttigieg had better get this one figured out. Except I don’t think either has any idea what they are doing.
They take orders from AOC and she owns a Tesla so she’s cool with no diesel./s
Don’t think there’s one normal human being in all those O’Biden Regime appointments.
They are all servants of Satan.
Truth.
Ya, but his defense secretary, CIA chief, and Secretary of State are busy trying to start wars with Russia, Iran, the NORKS, the Saudi’s, and the Chinese. And they might just succeed.
Not sure how they plan on fighting wars with no fuel!
We get “taken over”?
They don’t plan on “fighting” them, just starting them. Good for their business to have war. It is of no consequence to them who wins.
Abolish the middlemen. Transactional insertionalists love this stuff. Cut them out. They are the cause of regulations so they can get their mitts in between the seller and buyer and make a profit without a drop of sweat being shed.
Also, outlaw [all] tax exempt Foundations from America. Because they offer absolutely zero in the ways of humanity. These Foundations are merely a way to hide the bulk of a rich man’s wealth without taxation. Plus, these Foundations have usurped ” OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC ” 💯 %.
The Steve Scalise Tweet is pointless.
Biden knows exactly what he is doing.
None of this is by accident.
Biden doesn’t know what day of the week it is but his handlers do. Biden is the distraction while the demons do the dirty work out of sight.
We all need to focus on the root of the problem and look to our local communities to fix things. It took the socialists 50 years to screw things up, it might take that long to fix it if we start today.
I kinda like this guy. Good video on the diesel shortage.
This is a perfect explanation why socialist economies always, without exception, fail: It is impossible to plan for everything starting with the Tower of Babel. And when the plan is affecting the most basic industrial scale operations the people at the bottom will get it hard and good. The “decarbonization” plan of our economy and the way it is being put in practice is the closest I can think of the Soviet style “industrialization” and “collectivization” policies and their famous achievements in the 1930’s. There are always unforeseen problems behind all the good intentions and the more our wise leaders at the top are trying to fix them in their panicky response the more misery they cause at the bottom. Always.
Thanks for that video. Basic economics 101, but he explains it well. Worth sharing, especially to your Democrat relatives. The cause, as he explains, is the Obiden regime’s ‘Great Transition’, stopping investment in new refineries and hydrocarbon sources. At bottom is the Global Warming Delusion. Once everyone realizes it’s a fraud, we’ll get back to ample energy.
Thank the lunatic-fringe Democrats.
Apparently, the shortages of diesel engine oil and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) are even more extreme than the shortage of Diesel fuel. DEF is made from urea, which is also the prime ingredient of fertilizer, and China and Russia, two of the largest producers of urea, have sharply restricted exports to the West, including this country. Chemical manufacturers have also curtailed their deliveries of necessary ingredients for diesel engine oil and DEF. The prices of these fuels and additives are also skyrocketing, which are likely to make cargo trucks financially infeasible to operate. This appears to be an imminently calamitous situation.
Russia did not restrict exports to the west. We sanctioned ourselves into this mess.
It’s bipartisan madness …

No we didn’t. We were energy independent during the last two years of the Trump administration. Texas alone was producing more oil and NG than Russia!
The administration’s policies hamstringing domestic exploration, drilling, fracking, and refining are what got us here. It has nothing to do with Russia or Ukraine.

City folk won’t wake up until dinner fails to get to their plate and they start to freeze their Marxist asses off.
Then they’ll blame it on Republicans or God, or anyone or anything else but the choices they made and who they voted for,
I’m sick and tired of hearing my republican representatives and senators giving democrats the benefit of the doubt on what is happening with gas, deisel, and the border. They know what they are doing. They aren’t stupid, they’re just evil.
MAGA Republicans don’t give “the benefit if the doubt” to democrats, they know the enemy.
And actually, Republicans are not, they are Democrats comrades, both colluding to destroy America.
This trucker is heading out on a run down to Tennessee Sunday. Leave the home terminal in Anderson, IN for Spring Hill, TN at 15:00. Take a 10 hour break and deliver Monday, then go to Smithville, TN and deliver and pickup there before heading back to the home terminal. Tanks are full so I won’t need to fuel down there.
Last time I fueled on the road was at the Loves truck stop just east of Zanesville, OH on Tuesday last week on my way to a Nestles facility in Breinigsville, PA with about 40,000 lb. of Boost in the 53′ dry van. I was down to 3/16 fuel and it cost $943.00 to top off. Can’t remember the gallons pumped.
When headed east beyond OH, I always top off in Ohio before going into PA because of the high taxes in PA.
IT’S TIME….
But, but, but, Biden said people want more of his policies???
I couldn’t understand where he said he was — sounded like “Dearborn” NC. I have searched online for Dearborn, Deerborn, and I can’t find it. If anyone knows which part of NC this guy is in, please holler. I live about as far south as you can get in NC, right next door to SC — so we will be particularly affected.
The Railroad Strike and Pilots Union Strike will be used as cover.
Well, or just let the GOP win the election, and guess who will be blamed for the crash…..

I am sure the White House will claim the shortage is the result of the ‘oil company greed’, YADA,YADA,YADA.
NOTHING is ever the responsibility of the Executive Branch, not now and certainly not during Obama’s terms.
Need oil to make blacktop. No highway repair or new roadways at all without asphalt..
Food prices will keep escalating not just because of this or inflation but because on his way out the door Trump signed the China phase 1 agreement that now has us competing globally for our food, as he also about two weeks prior to leaving office signed an agreement with Japan. China’s imports of our beef alone is at an all time high, has risen 386%. Beef, chicken, eggs, potatoes, corn, wheat, soybeans are all at historical levels of being exported out of this country. Japan imports of potatoes has risen 76%, Costa Rica 50%, that’s part of why potato prices has risen through the roof. To given a surprising example that stood out, chicken paws, something that gets rendered here for pet food but the Chinese who’ll eat anything has been buying them up at unheard of levels from farmers, here they would have made 22.3 million selling them to rendering plants, in the last year they made 461 million selling them to China. Just like it was Trump was signed the deal with Junckers of the European Commission to sell them our natural gas and oil, Biden increased the amount because it wasn’t enough. You can look all this stuff up like I did but Trump was doing some rotten things behind our backs. Never again would I vote for him taking the food right off people’s tables here in America by making us compete for it on a global stage. This is about making America, not Americans great again, it’s the same old sell out Americans story. I surely hate to see what phase two would look like if he got back into office.
You are a LIAR! I know! You think that throwing President Trump into your BS is getting you points for some game? YOUR WORDS ARE LIES. YOU GO BACK AND DO YOUR RESEARCH!!
Sunlit, this is another I hate Trump, and everything is Trump’s fault comment.
TheConservativeTreehouse has numerous articles about the World’s Economy. ~>All modern day production of the things we buy ~ are the product of (hopefully) inexpensive energy.
…….. Petroleum is used in the production, processing, and delivery of our food. … Even Natural Gas is needed for the processing of food.
Petroleum was inexpensive when Trump was President, because a surplus was being produced; the same with Natural Gas. ……. When President Biden and his ‘ilk’ gained control, petroleum and Natural Gas production was INTENTIONALLY throttled, and became more ~expensive.
We are also faced ~economically with Joe Biden and his ilk’s foreign and domestic policy disasters. … Whatever may be thought of the Russian and Ukrainian ~war, the policies about embargoes of needed energy has been a disaster. … ‘Our’ Natural Gas and Oil is going to Europe, because of all the trade restraints on Russia.
*************
Ukraine has been a ‘piggy bank’ for many politicians around the world. … For example: Biden treats the Ukrainians like a ‘slot machine’ for his own use. … Biden can place ONE ~billion dollars in US taxpayer money into Ukraine, and receive a few million dollars in return, to place in his own pocket. [Foreign Aid with lots of winners; except for the taxpayers and the people actually needing help.] … ‘Our’ weapons sent to Ukraine are starting to found among the International Gangsters. [The Biden aid giveaways, Ha Ha!]
*************
The Chinese like much of the world has lived through horrific famines. The Chinese have learned how to survive by eating things, I don’t even like looking at. [During certain times of the year, the Chinese apparently have ‘Chicken Feet’ eating festivals. (Much like Eggnog and Turkey here, maybe?) ……. Anyway, here in the USA, it’s possible to walk into a big Chinese Market, and see a couple of tables, in front of the meat department, stacked TWO feet deep with fresh chicken feet!} …… (Egads)
**************
FYI: I’m a hick and can NOT spell or write too good! … But TheConservativeTreehouse has instructions about how to make comments. … When writing, ~paragraphs are your friend!
Remember, Trump facilitated Surpluses in Food and Energy in the USA. We could help feed the starving world. … Joe Biden and his ilk have throttled the American Economy on purpose. … We will NOW have higher prices, and many other people in our World will starve to death.
Catholic Joe is obligated to think of the Common Good, and NOT just the economy good for Joe Biden and his ilk!
Glad I sold my VW diesel wagon seven months ago.
What happened??? Three days ago we had a “25 day supply”. I did not hear/read of anyone on either side dispute that. Now, again 3 days later, we have shortages. Something ain’t right here. I am sick and tired of not being able to trust/believe anything I read, anything I hear, and precious little of anything I see.
Can anyone here explain, such that I can understand, how we go from 25 day supply to zero in three days.
I’m begging Sundance – Please do not become TGP. Don’t start waving red flags before their time. Do not become Esquire in nature.
I’ve seen gas stations run out of fuel all my life – for no discernable reason. No announced shortages, no massive storm system. Simply out of fuel at that particular station/location. Same for diesel when I had my Ford SuperDuty.
One report stated 10 out of 65 stations out of diesel. How often does that happen? Nobody said. Nobody ask. Nobody stated how frequently or what percentage of stations are without gasoline or diesel fuel at any one time in the U.S.
I’m finding out I’m simply not capable of remaining in panic mode for years on end. Does that mean I’m giving up. Not hardly.
Good Lord! It’s never a good idea to panic, but it’s also never a good idea to turn your back on crazy either. The better question would be; “what wouldn’t they (the swamp) do?”
Sundance doesn’t need me to defend CTH, his body of work speaks for itself. His research is beyond reproach, thorough and in some cases so utterly complete that I wonder if the man sleeps, or are there 3 Sundance’s.
Is he right about everything? …of course not. But when he reads tea-leaves, he describes the size. color, smell, origin and possible outcomes of said tea-leaves.
In my experience it behooves one to read this magnificent site (CTH) and understand unless one is obtuse to at least consider the messenger and his constantly thorough dispensation with cautious reverence.
But to call it click bait would be silly. Act accordingly.
I hear you. I’ve been on this site probably a year or so. I don’t comment often simply because I’m wayyyy outclassed by the folks that regularly post here. Without a doubt this is the premier conservative(for lack of a better term) web site – at least of the ones I have visited – which is a lot. That includes posted content AND the user base. The replies and dialog here are simply phenomenal.
But…(change of direction) No one responded to my questions. How did we get from a 25 day supply to “out of fuel in the southeast”. Surely I’m not the only person on this site that has hit gas stations that for whatever reason are out of fuel, be it gasoline or diesel. I realize that logistics is probably at play here. Missed deliveries. Late orders. And if that’s the case “SAY SO”. But to infer spot outages are due exclusively to lack of supply is disingenuous at the least.
We may have a 25 day supply, somewhere, but it is not getting delivered to where it is needed. Some stations are probably running out due to panic buying and can’t get more until their next scheduled delivery date. My neighbor runs a gravel pit and ordered a winter’s worth of diesel now to be sure he can continue to operate. He installed the extra tanks needed for storage. When he placed his order, I am sure someone else got bumped given the gallons he bought for cash.
The outages are temporary, the lack of reliable, timely resupply are permanent.
Doug, first let me say, ‘You seem to be a very honest person, that was raised by honest parents.’ ……. Fortunately, the USA is filled with honest people, that expect everyone else to be honest.
Unfortunately, the USA is now governed by deceptive liars. … Many politicians deceive and lie, to gain money and political power. … We also are governed by evil people, that ‘Think’ ~ there are too many people in the world, and they have a ‘solution’ for all the people.’ …… Tyrants can kill millions of people for money, political power and crazy ideas.
The comment below yours by FJB appears to answer your questions.
The big Freighting Trucks carry a lot of diesel fuel. A company can save $100 on ~one long trip, depending on where the diesel fuel is bought. [Prices are on the Internet]
The low inventories will surely be in the low cost States. {Many answer, why there’s a discrepancy in days of fuel available.] … Fuel will ‘run out’ first in a low cost State, if the fuel shortage becomes chronic. ……. +Some ‘geek’ number-cruncher working for the Federal Government, would most likely be able to predict the locations, with insufficient fuel quantities. Governments ~track Tax Revenue. Our fuels are taxed along the fuel chain. Some businesses are required to report and pay certain taxes quarterly, and other businesses will pay the owed taxes to the government ~monthly. … But, most of our politicians NEVER listen to the financial number-crunchers. …. [+Some ‘geeky” people do actually work at their government jobs. NOT everyone sleeps on the job!]
The tax payments owed, and when paid, can depend on Location. … People and businesses are moving to low tax states, whenever possible. … The idea of “It can all be written off on your taxes” ~ is promulgated by people ~without any ‘business’ sense, or else they work for our government.

As a separate observation, that might be incorrect. = Why does Greta Thunberg, the Swedish teenager (concerned about World Pollution), remind me of Benito Mussolini, when she (Greta) furrows her brow?
Bingo… Bingo… we have a winner!
Never considered that long range haulers are set up to, welllll, haul long miles. Makes sense they would fill up at the least costly location. With the ability to make it to that location since last fill-up, yeah… hence the spot outages.
Sorry… can’t help ya’ with Greta T. She brings back memories of my own children – when they were two years old.
Luckily we have all those electric trucks, trains, cargo ships, and planes powered by windmills and lawn fairies!
We are approaching a perfect storm: reduced refining capacity, reduced manufacturing capacity, reduced food production capacity, reduced distribution capacity, reduced ready and able labor resources … and this Tuesday we move into the eye of the storm. Will we hang on and weather it out or get blown away and find ourselves “gone with the wind”?
…and its all by design.
Even now while we are experiencing a diesel shortage, the US is exporting to Europe.
“Europe is already grappling with a fuel crisis due to situation in Ukraine. They are relying on U.S. exports to help ease their fuel burdens headed into winter.
An American consumer may say that this isn’t our problem, but this isn’t being done for altruistic reasons. Some countries are in worse shape than the U.S. with respect to fuel supplies, and they are willing to pay more to obtain them. That, in a nutshell, is why companies are exporting diesel during a diesel shortage.”

Why The U.S. Has A Diesel Shortage
Oct 30, 2022
https://www.forbes.com/sites/rrapier/2022/10/30/why-the-us-has-a-diesel-shortage/
Why is there a diesel shortage this year? There are four factors, but two of those factors are in play every year.
As mentioned above, distillate demand spikes at this time of year. But, it does that every year.
This is also the time of year that refineries are doing maintenance. They tend to do that in the spring and fall, which is when demand is lower and the weather is decent. So, refinery capacity drops at this time of year.
Third, U.S. refinery capacity has fallen in the past few years as several unprofitable refineries were closed. So, that’s a new factor that has appeared in the past couple of years.
But the primary reason is the cutoff of Russian imports. Prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the U.S. was importing nearly 700,000 barrels per day (BPD) of petroleum and petroleum products. Most of those imports were finished products and refinery inputs that boosted distillate supplies in the U.S.
The loss of those Russian imports have caused problems for refineries as they struggle to fill holes in their product slates. Refineries do have a small amount of flexibility in shifting gasoline production to diesel production. But it’s a relatively small amount (e.g., ~5% in a refinery I once worked in). That also means that if refiners do shift production, it potentially creates shortages in the gasoline market.
Some relief is on the way, as some diesel imports are on the way from Europe to the East Coast. But, the distillate market won’t likely return to normal before next summer at the earliest.
They say never blame on malice what can be attributed to incompetence but I think that fallacy has been given globalists cover for far too long. We know what their long term goal is. They want a one world prison planet governed over by technocratic overlords where the plebs own nothing, eat bugs, live in pods and are somehow happy about it. How is the engineered diesel shortage not a part of the Great Reset? People have been talking about this for a while. The Biden regime’s policies are anti-energy when it comes to extracting and transporting energy in the US. US regulations also discourage refinery capacity as well. How is this not intentional?
“The plan is working” – says Ron Klain and Barry Soetero and Susan Rice and Pete Buttgiggles and, well, you know their names.
Diesel stocks are 5% below the 10 year average.
The sky is not falling
re: “The low supply left the Southeastern United States with just 25 days worth of diesel fuel”
With some places running dry, that’s down to ZERO days worth.
Your all wrong. Everyone wants more Biden policies.
Where’s Pete?
This ought to bring the party of Morons more votes on Tuesday…
First we remove them from power,
Next we try them for treason,
Once convicted they hang.
There was a recent article in What’s Up with That that quoted Jeff Currie, Global Head of Commodities Research in the Global Investment Division of Goldman Sachs, that 10 years ago (as of January, 2022 data) our energy consumption was 82% from fossil fuels. In January, 2022 our consumption from fossil fuels had dropped to 81%. During that 10 years, we spent $3.8 trillion on renewables (unreliables which is my word for them). Think of that, a 1% drop and $3.8 trillion. This isn’t about the climate or earth. It’s about money and control to keep the money flowing. The link below will take you to the article.

There is an old axiom I first heard in the 1960s: All shortages are man-made.
Funny thing. My wife’s niece posted a reminder of the time change. Then after that said “don’t forget to vote. Or we could be set back fifty years!”She is a hardcore Democrat and Trump hater. I wonder how much she will like this because this is where she lives.
I read the same post from a friend as well.
Didn’t have the energy for retort – lost causes they are.
This is a planned and controlled sabotage designed to collapse the nation. You all may not be aware of the massive protests going on within the European Union but maybe you’ll notice when Americans begin to join them on the streets.
This works in tandem with the sabotage of our food processing centers not just within the United States, but across the planet. This is designed to create famine, malnutrition and diseases. Another note you may not notice now, but when your belly shrinks into your backbone I can assure you will begin to realize something, and someone has betrayed you.
No diesel fuel, no food deliveries to your local grocery stores. Bill Gates and George Soros, along with the Chinese Communist Party has been buying up all of the farms and cattle ranches and grain silos across flyover country not to increase the availability of food produce, but to ensure food isn’t being produced for the American people.
So why don’t our elected officials, the judiciary, or even our departments of defense prevent these strategic assets from being sabotaged? Because they’re totally in on this controlled demolition of our Constitutional Republic in order to transition it into the American Empire of the Globalist ‘great reset’ towards a completely totalitarian world order. The fact that they are completely lying about everything is just one aspect of the level of treason we are witnessing in real time.

Fossil fuels are the life blood of every first world economy, anyone who’s in a position of power are anti fossil fuels are committing economic terrorism against the populace.
Reconstruction is on-going.
Dont forget those diesel fuel guzzling pieces of heavy equipment in the construction and mining industries. It will all come to a screeching halt.
