A tangent of sorts…

Freedom 250 Presents: The Launch of Freedom Trucks

1:04.

A fleet of six Mobile Museums, known as “Freedom Trucks,” are traveling throughout 2026, bringing the story of American independence to students, families, and citizens in every corner of our country. With interactive and inspiring content for visitors of all ages, the exhibit tells the harrowing story of how 13 colonies declared independence, defeated the greatest empire in the world, and secured American sovereignty 250 years ago. With engaging elements such as, “Are you a loyalist or patriot” quiz, a kiosk to sign your name digitally to the Declaration, and a wall of 50 American heroes, these exhibits celebrate the remarkable achievements that 250 years have made possible.

Freedom Truck Mobile Museums were created in partnership with PragerU and Hillsdale College and made possible by The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).

Freedom Trucks schedule, through October at the link below.

Net Zero AND Green New Scam weenies are always worth a laugh, taunt, sarcasm…

Not a big issue today in America, but, if the Straits of Hormuz remain closed, it Will Be A BFD. Less so in America, but it will effect us. America, heavily dependent on imports. Including food. Though I do NOT have any idea the degree, food sectors. We may learn. Worth monitoring in the short term, for now. Adjust, IF necessary.

Welcome to 20% of Net Zero (oil & gas, not coal) – Think About It…

Dear Climate Crazies, Doom Goblins, and Gang Green- You are now living 20% of your dream…

In an odd turn, I find myself thinking that leaving the Strait of Hormuz closed might be the best thing we could do for the world. It is just 20% of the Oil & Gas only (NOT the coal or nuclear power) taken off line. Given that the “goal” of the Climate Crazies is 100% net zero by 2030 (last time I looked), we have simply moved 1 year closer to that goal, and will need to do the same every year… ’27, ’28, ’29, ’30 & ‘success’… so WHY bother to reopen it? It will just set the world back a full year on their “progress” to their “goal”…

Embrace the pain. Live with the economic collapse, the $10 / gallon gasoline & Diesel fuel. The hunger from food system collapse and the lack of damn near everything as shipping and international trade shudders to a halt. That IS what will come anyway, as long as the goals do not change.

So think of this as a small 20% “taster” of stopping oil & gas. Realize that more power comes from Coal, and that isn’t done yet (so really this is about a 10% “hit” of the total).

So where are we? Survival Lilly gives a short summary of Europe and a bit more.

Germany gets the Draft, again, and continues economic collapse with destruction of energy supplies, making Lake Coal:

12:37 (Slow Guy. Perhaps worth a listen. Nothing new, by me.)

And a broader look at European distress… The ships that were already in transit with LNG & oil have arrived, and only now is the actual shortage of physical supply manifesting. So what’s happening and planned “going forward”? “Doom, despair, and agony… ” as the song goes:

10:02 (^^^ Slow Guy. Worth a glance…maybe…)

I’m in the USA, so this mostly has no effect on me. Gas is up about $1 to $1.50 compared to Trump’s best and still lower than Biden’s disaster. Stores are still fully stocked. I expect no significant worsening for things here. BUT even with the USA oil & LNG “lifeline” to Europe, they are toast. Just not possible to refill the natural gas storage in time for winter without M.E. LNG. (or Russian gas… that will now go to China instead). Were I living in Europe, I’d be moving out.

Oh, and California is going to implode badly too, as they are shutting oil refineries and depending on tankers to deliver oil from Russia & the Middle East after refining in Asia… who have announced they are halting exports.

How bad will it be in Asia? Remembering that we get most manufactured goods, materials & products from them now. China got hacked, China NOT backing a UN Security Counsel move to open the Strait. Continuing decline of Real Estate and exports…

12:55 (Slow Guy. Some interesting stuff I had not heard. Worthy. )

And France taking a dive too, along with China:

8:47 (Slow Guy. Worthy listen. Big picture matters. Mid and long term implications of the Straits of Hormuz closed.)

North Sea oil for immediate delivery near $147 / bbl…

Then a bit more on food, from a paranoid POV:

12:30 (Slow Guy. Much of this chatter IS similar to discussions we had when Ukraine Russia war started AND droned on. <<< Russian fertilizer was largely rerouted to end buyers / users. Prices went up. Never the crisis thought it might become.

The Straits of Hormuz closed long term is HUGE. Oil, obviously. Damage to ME fertilizer industry…impacting the global community.

Capitalists have a way of figuring stuff out. Making money, is quite an incentive.

Worthy listen.)

UPDATE:

Philippines declares fuel emergency (almost all comes from M.E.) & Japan hit too:

7:31. (Slow Guy. Philippines imports 98% of it oil from ME. Nothing surprising.)

In Conclusion

So why not take the hit now. Let the world see, feel, live the dream, have the full experience of just 20% of the Green Dream. Perhaps a few “leaders” and “decision makers” would be able to see just how bad it is, and how much worse it would be to actually go to zero.

These folks have ZERO ability to see what is coming, so let it hit them full in the face. That seems to be the only time the see anything and (potentially) can learn how stupid their decisions have been.

I know, easy for me to say since I’m in a “Safe Place” and won’t have much bad to deal with. But consider the alternative. We let the Crazies continue on their destruction of global energy supplies, rocketing the global economy into full collapse and that inevitably leading to Global War (hungry cold people usually do that).

Pain early and hopefully lighter with learning.
or
Pain more and worse later after it is too late to change.

Decisions decisions…
