DEEP PLANNING II

*
note: this might be a concern with Tattler reusable lids:
"another Master Canner I know – oxygen retained in the headspace.
Because the lid is largely inflexible, and the final seal comes after the processing as a result of tightening the band, it's tough to guarantee that all oxygen has been flushed out of the headspace. This is guaranteed with the metal lids, as the vacuum itself is what creates the seal."

Looking at history through Realpolitik, Americans have been real dinguses.  But that was okay, since we were the invading victorious tribe.  Yet that changed in the last decade and it is important to recognize that change.  The jingoistic flag waving, the disapproval over kneeling during the national anthem, the inability to see our political influence completely waning, the concern over two political parties rather than seeing their complete similarities, all that is part of the denial process.  The myth is that we still matter, that we are still THE superpower, is pathetic and sad.  The US never directly challenged Britain when she was the imperial superpower of the day, but waited until she was vulnerable and asked for unconditional surrender and got it. 

*

You think WE are safe just because no one directly challenges us?  History is more than just a failing grade for you decades ago in public school.  We have already lost global hegemony and don’t even realize it.  We went to war in Iraq to protect the PetroDollar standard.  Remember that one?  We print Treasury Bonds, debt, and other countries buy them to have an instrument to buy oil because for forty years the Saudi’s, being our bitches and head of OPEC, have insisted oil be bought in dollars.  Iraq threatened to sell oil for Euro’s and we soiled our drawers.  That would threaten the PetroDollar!

*

So, Shrub, being as dumb as a box of rocks, did as he was told and acted like there were Weapons Of Mass Destruction over there-and the worlds leading holder of an arsenal of weapons of mass destruction can’t have any competition-and he probably wasn’t even acting.  Bush Sr. was the last intelligent-even if evil-president and since then idiots have been meat puppets on display.  Clinton did as Hilary told him, Bush was an idiot and Obammy English As A Second Language King Kenyan barely took time out from golf to hastily read his prepared lines.  And Trump, well, who loses money on a casino?

*

When Libya threatened to ask for gold for oil, boom, regime change.  He was a terrorist funder rather than a communist sympathizer, so it was a different script but the same actors.  And thus ended our successful reign.  From then on, we couldn’t overthrow anyone.  We got our allies the Saudi’s to invade to their south, with hundreds of billions if not trillions in high tech weapons and they were as effectual as a liberal at target practice.  We tried to control Syria and Turkey and many others and, sadly, we are way past Peak Overthrow.  Seeing this obvious lack of military effectiveness, one country after another has dropped the PetroDollar, without military threat from our empire.  Now, this is where the American Denier Movement picked up high gear.

*

Fracking Fags started piling out of the woodwork.  You do all understand what fracking did, correct?  It got the tight oil from fields already pumped conventionally.  It didn’t find new oil, it just got what the big straw hadn’t sucked up.  And it wasn’t cheap.  And the wells usually stopped producing after four years ( as opposed to forty with conventional pumping ).  To repeat a delightful turn of phrase I wish I had invented but rather shamelessly stole, we were licking the barroom rug of spilt beer after closing hours.  Then, long after our military couldn’t do much more than learn equality and gender sensitivity ( no reflection on the lower ranks-just the leadership ), the public showed absolutely no shame in blindly worshiping their perceived abilities.

*

Other forms of denial are equally as creative and loud.  Retail collapse is caused by Amazon.  The Dollar is a safe harbor.  Our defeated occupied allies are against our enemies.  But all that is a side note.  You must merely keep one thing in mind.  We export inflation and import oil.  If that stops, we stop.  Alaska, the Gulf Of Mexico and the Lower 48 all produce five million barrels per day, give or take.  Fracking, at most, doubles that.  We use 18 million a day.  Simple math says we need almost half the oil we use to come from other countries.  If those countries don’t trade oil for debt, how do we get the oil we need?

*

All those gas lines and alternate fill up days and quadrupling prices in the Oil Shocks of the 70’s?  We were the worlds leading producer in oil.  Our imports cut off were about four percent of oil use.  FOUR.  Not forty as is likely to happen.  Now please calculate the odds of there being gasoline to operate your motor vehicle at this time.  What you are doing now is logical and excusable.  I wouldn’t live in the ghetto or next to the Mosque, just to save money.  I don’t blame you.  But it isn’t like you don’t have any warning that even without Peak Oil, the end of our militaries ability to force our colonies to give us free oil is reason enough to figure out a way to reduce our oil dependencies. 

*

Now, to be frank, NOT owning a car is really not much protection.  The oil is needed at the farm and on the interstate and in the processing and storage facilities.  All of us could give up our cars and we would still be screwed.  The only thing NOT owning a car does is finance your preps.  But if you do own a car, make sure its lack of fuel isn’t going to be a life threatening event.  As long as you can still Deep Larder while still making a car payment, all well and good.  But be sure it is only a convenience. 

*

Think about this.  Both Trump and Hillary work for the elites.  They are bit players both, bought and paid for.  Yet the elites  ability to control things is so precarious they can’t keep the kabuki theatre of Elections Are Real functioning properly.  Instead, a year later, we still risk nuclear war since Hilary insists the Russians stole the election from her.  Crazy as a brick crap house rat bitch.  What makes you think our rulers will have the ability to allocate logistics to keep everyone fed, when only half the oil is available?

*

Another question.  If the economy gets bad enough and the ability to finance fracking is endangered, what will we do if we suddenly lose over a quarter of our oil?  Think about it.
