‘..In the event of a disruption to tanker routes, Australia has just 12 days of diesel supplies before city fuel and food supplies start to dry up.’    Link

And twelve days after that, chaos…

    People have no idea just how fragile their infrastructure is. Most of it barely goes at the best of times.

    This is an interesting read at Surviving in Argentina. The same is happening in South Africa…. but in slow motion, and what is going to happen in the West.

    I’ve been preaching for years that our power grid is vulnerable in many areas and it wouldn’t take anything exotic to put it face down in the mud for sometime.

    We are always only three square meals away from revolution in the streets.

    I’ve been saying for years on my blog that revolution would break out in America if the economy goes south…That’s history – bad economic conditions lead to rebellion and the settling of accounts with the ruling class responsible for the mess. :evil:

    Then a new breed comes to power and corrects the major malfunctions…Generations pass and the new ruling class becomes corrupt and degeneration and is replaced by the new breed…

    Nietzsche said history is a circle and events repeated themselves endlessly.

    The poet said, “The dog always returns to his vomit.”

    In NZ we at least got an idea as to how fragile fuel supplies can be as immediately after the CHCH earthquakes there was a prospect that fuel couldn’t be delivered out of Lyttelton for the SI’s needs and the storage facilities in Timaru were too small. The crisis was averted but needless to say the long-term problem has been ignored. :?:

      Aussies seem to be living in a dream world, Cad. Things have been so good for so long, very many of them have no idea that hard times are even possible, let alone likely. :sad:

        Ditto for all the Western nations. It was a great loss when the WW II Greatest Generation died off because they had been thru hard times, knew friends from enemies, restricted immigration, and looked to national defense from strong borders.

        I have a feeling that we are in for heavy seas in the near future and the current generation will either become another Greatest Generation or die.
