I think the plan all along is to install an American run port and military base in northern Gaza.

I think it will play out exactly that way.

The massive oil reserves in Syria which we have been fighting over will be trucked until a deep water port and pipeline is in place.

Biden sold off more than HALF of our SPR. There won’t be any refilling at 100$ a barrel and we are close.

As soon as the Russian oil is cutoff from the black market, the well heads and pipelines will all freeze, and the only way to clear out the borehole is to redrill it.

Once there are no more tankers or storage facilities the Russians will have no choice but to start shutting down wellheads.

That in combo with sending Ukraine 80 billion and extreme range Himars, every refinery will be targeted.

Oil is the Russian regimes life blood ( like ours )

But remember who built those oil fields

WE did

In 2005 I was supporting TransOcean drill ships in the sea of ohutsk

TransOcean working g for ExxonMobil,

Remember our first se restart of state under tRump?

All moves going forward will decrease global energy resource consumption and kill people.

That fits with the reality of declining net oil availability.

It has to look like something else to maintain control-narratives.

I don't know what the details will be, fluid to some degree, I assume.

Indeed, global availability.

The USA has plenty of oil and refineries.

The conversion of stranded gas to DimethylEther will push massive amounts of hydrocarbons to markets.

ALL the major engine manufacturers, Scandinavian, Volvo, Caterpillar,

Anyone who makes giant engines already have them tested and ready to go.

The fuel trucks will pickup the 75 psi liquid and will run on the same fuel.

Texas will be fine unless our coastal refineries are taken out.

Thats a real possibility if this escalation continues.

The base in northern Gaza will be a deep water port run by Americans to get the stranded hydrocarbons from the Kurds and Syria to markets.

That same conversion technology to convert the *thane hydrocarbons will be installed at every well head.

Truly this has been planned far in advance.

I think this goes back to Obama and Biden in 2014

Maybe during the Bush’s regime.

Volvo got EU funding to test DME as a lorry fuel, i.e. in diesel engines. It has a high cetane number. 15 years ago, roughly.

Diesel is potentially in shorter supply than petrol.

That’s right, the engines are engineered. It’s a safe gas ( compared to LNG )

Automated catalyst cracking units are installed at well heads along with tanks,

'A bipartisan pair of AIPAC-funded senators have introduced a new bill backed by the Anti-Defamation League aimed at silencing criticism of Jews and Israel and policing Americans' online speech.'

One of the most absurd fallacies of tyrants and their drone underlings is that silencing dissenters turns them into silent appeasers.

On the basis of history, it is far more likely that AIPAC officers will be violently targeted, as will ADL prostitutes.

There is no way that AIPAC can be allowed to speak with freedom whilst banning others who disagree with them. Either they let others criticise Israel or they can expect bombs, bullets, poisons, you name it.

They can't complain about it. They invited it to come their way....

This kind of narrative-shaping in the short term leads to a bigger backlash later, but they have plans to deal with "later", too.

We have to keep chipping away at their grand strategies every day, at every step of the way.

The current arrangement can only lead us all to ruin.

"Well, just look at the cancer rates in Europe from 1986 onwards. In England, in the 1990s, about one in 6 developed cancer. In 2022 it was closer to one in 3. It is predicted (by WHO) to be soon 1 in 2."

Hmmm, I see no mention of the jab which also started around then.

One would need to look at the progression of incidence over time, indeed.

Israel has been in a state of conflict every day since before Truman (stupidly or for money and votes) recognised it as a country. America will now be in a permanent state of conflict defending it, just what Truman’s chairman of the Joint chiefs warned him about all those years ago. It’s a millstone around Americas neck not some ‘unsinkable aircraft carrier’ no wonder my country Britain was happy enough to see America adopt it back in 48’. Empires are not meant to be a money sink and a little offshore gas field, real estate considering people aren’t building in the northern Sinai or exporting meagre amounts of stolen oil.

As for running out of gold in the seventies hasn’t America run out again? I believe Germant asked for theres back about 10 years ago, to no avail.

Nobody will look at the gold. I suspect it is in the negatives.

Can’t correct typos on the mobile app.

I’ll fire up my laptop and cleanup the errors.
