NATURAL GAS Prices Spike Despite Surplus…

Posted on by Helena

In 2019, just 1 ½ years ago, America was hailed as having the greatest ‘surplus of cheap gas in the world’. We were oil independent.   Our economy was growing expeditiously!   People were happy!    And a New Age of Prosperity was beginning – albeit not of the Global Order.

So how did we reverse that entirely within just 2 years?   Where oh where did all that surplus go?

Europe first reported a shortage. It’s gas tanks are 77% full with 80% of supplies coming from Russia, Norway and Algeria.    What is their holdup?  “Russian and German regulators are in a debate as to whether new regulations apply that were put in place after the pipeline was given its final investment decisions.” ~ HIS Markit.   Germany’s regulator announced in September it has four months to complete certification of Russia’s Nord 2.   That would indicate the shortage is purely political with citizens literally paying the price while Germany blames Russia!.

Norway raised its gas prices 700%.  Why?   Because it could.

And yet Biden threatens Russia not to profit on the crisis.   Short Term memory:    If I recall it was Obama who initiated an oil and gas war with Russia tanking the price in the hopes that their economy would spiral unabated.   It didn’t work.

The US is the world’s largest producer of natural gas exporting 10% of it’s annual production.   But Biden cut down shale production which is a by-product of natural gas.   Thus the US has gone from a net exporter to a net importer.   Spiking investor concerns. So who is using up the natural gas?

China.   China’s imports are up roughly 20% this year.   January 2021, China’s largest supplier, Australia’s main producer, Woodside, shut down it’s LNG trains for the entire year due to maintenance issues.   As in -0-.   As a result, US shipments increased depleting US reserves that were already hampered by Biden’s shale debacle.

In other words, three separate manipulations have created shortages:   1. Germany refusing to certify Nord 2, and   2.   The US picking up the slack for Australia in shipments to China,  and  3.   Biden cutting shale production.

Warmer than normal weather in the US has now factored into the inventory picture which seems to fluctuate on a media basis – monthly, currently citing inventories are down only 4% from the five year average.   Yet the price of natural gas has risen 51% from October 2020.    In essence revealing the manipulated spike.

Oil and Gas production is down 20% from 2019 when output reached roughly 14 million barrels per day.   Today the output is 11 million with absolutely no direction of it coming close to previous levels.   Although production is only down 20%, gas prices have doubled.

These are NOT parallel numbers.   Exxon Mobile’s share price has doubled in the past year while revenue in 2020 tanked 30%, first half earnings went from a loss of $(1.69) billion to $7.42 billion profit.   DESPITE a massive push for renewables by the Biden Handler Regime.   But then in 2019, Exxon signed a contract with China to provide 1 million metric tons of natural gas per year for 20 years.

Again exports of crude oil & petroleum products to China dropped significantly in the Trump era of 2019 only to increase this year by over 400% for the first quarter. Obviously, Biden’s pleas for the Saudi’s to send more oil to the US is a ridiculous media spill that is indicative of his catatonic brain stem.   US shortages are thus exasperated by taking what we have and giving it to China while doubling the pump price.

Now with US shipping ports in Liberal California and New York congested beyond repair, our ingenious government says we just need to import less cheap products from China.   These same liberals demanded we increase our trade with China when Trump began his sanctions.   It is as though the whiteboard of historical information has been erased and we are supposed to simply stop blinking.

But Then We Are in Alice’s Wonderland… RIGHT?

US Economic Inflation, Inflation, Inflation

Posted on by Helena

The Biden Administration White House Handlers have declared that the inflation occurring throughout the US is really no big deal.   If you take out gas, heating, electricity, pork, meat, chicken, fish, and housing, then inflation is pegged at 6-7%!   But WalMart would say differently claiming shortages and inflation are going to hit hard and strong this winter! The media is also collaborating to hype the shortage of natural gas coming to your home this winter.

So what is Reality?

A.   Natural gas prices have peaked and waned for over 20 years with high nearly every three years topping over $16.80.   The price today is trending toward that peak with a current level hovering over $5.20.   While shortages are not about supply, in this instance they are about ‘storage’.

In 2019, Trader Magazine released this report:   “The United States has an overabundance of cheap natural gas. Prices are so low and supplies so plentiful that many oil producers find it more economical to burn, or flare, the surplus than to sell it to new customers.”

Natural gas is not used just for heating it is also used to produce electricity, you know, all those clean CARS!   But New York, in all its liberal quaking, decided to halt new gas pipeline construction projects that would mitigate the NE winter shortages because in 30 years, NY plans to be 100% Green.   Of course, what they would do in the meantime to fill the void was never addressed. Cuomoism.

But it is the same logic wingnutted from the WH in requiring private companies to mandate vaccines – during a massive shortage of workers.   As a result;   a)   NYC has cancelled all births indefinitely given the walkout of nurses and staff.   b)   airlines are cancelling flights amid a shortage of attendants.   c)   large companies are scrambling to find the employees to stock the growing barren shelves.   d)   and supplies sit at loading docks awaiting nonexistent truckers to take them to the retailers. e)   as a result retailers will ramp up closures leaving commercial vacancies that will destroy the REIT markets.

b.   Despite the White House’ lame attempt to shift the blame for inflation on Trump, the obvious is well – obvious. During Trump’s presidency inflation remained a constant at roughly 1.2%.   Gasoline prices were under $2 at the pump, which trickled down to transportation including airfare and trucking.   Today, gas prices at the pump are the highest level in history!   Even when accounting for inflation adjustments, the US has just ravaged its historical max although socialist Europe still leads the globe in pricing.

Meat prices came under attack when Bill Gates sought a mandate that Americans eat crickets and infused soy. YUM!

c.   While we have been privilege to the catastrophic impact of the chip shortage on the availability of new cars, according to an analysis by Goldman Sachs, the semiconductor shortage touches a mind-blowing 169 industries.   Everything from steel products to ready-mix concrete manufacturing to industries that build air conditioning systems and refrigerators to breweries.

Who manufactures chips?

Japanese company, Renasas, provided 30% of the global car industry’s chips. However, March 2021 they experienced a massive fire that put them completely out of the production cycle.   In addition, shipping channels have been uniformly clogged creating delays lasting a month or more. Ships have actually, suddenly – run aground.   Ships have completely blocked the Suez.   Since 1869, the Suez Canal has been blocked by container ships only 5 times – over a 160 year period.   In other words this is hardly a common occurrence and deserves a bit more investigation.   The latest blockage occurred in March – just as the Japanese factory simultaneously went up in smoke.   The Ever Given was the culprit and cost $400 million per HOUR in delays.

The Ever Given is owned by the Evergreen Group based in Taiwan and operated by Chinese nationals.   Fun fact – Hillary’s secret service code name was “Evergreen”.   They have also been mired in theories that they are a major transport in the sex trafficking business.   All of which is – denied.

Isn’t it odd how all things trip and trod back to a source – Hillary Clinton…   I might add that I have no intention of committing suicide, and any statements contrary are false.  The point is – it takes quite a bit of power to yield the entire Suez Canal to ‘shortages’.   Just a phone call away.  “I need a catastrophe, block the Canal.”   “Yes sir.”.

“What a Weird Game You Play…”   To me – it all seems so boringly futile.   How can you be proud of abject devastation?  Our entire psyche is built on ‘success’ and ‘success’ is/was defined within terms of beauty ~  

Imagine having had everything and done everything?  The amount of boredom and anger that might swallow a human could be like a thunderstorm storm of all beginnings.  Because without that challenge, the human has to create chaos – in order to solve it – in order to feel successful.

SO why is it that Communism is always synonymous with supply shortages, pronounced inflation, starvation, poverty and death?

As Australia has duly noted, communism/totalitarianism not only leads to massive shortages of essential goods, it leads to alcoholism.   The only viable escape mechanism for coping.   Knowing this escape mechanism was pronounced in every recent communist country, Australia, in all its wisdom, has instituted an alcohol rationing in lockdown cities.  Problem Solved!  Just make everyone batshitake CRAZY!

But the purpose of communism is to create such dire circumstances that the poverty drives people to desperation.   And thus reveals that the creation of the shortages is vital to the institution of communist power control.

Schematics are thus manipulated.   The chess game also becomes Tactic’s II, Monopoly, Checkers, and Sims all looped into one global mainframe.   And the gamit of supply shortages becomes a Matrix of illusion and propaganda.   In 1980’s Poland, food shortages became a reality.   Buying an automobile meant putting down a deposit, making periodic inflationary payments and taking delivery 5-7 years later.   Apartments were similar.   Two bedrooms were only available if two families shared the flat.   But the waiting list could be 7-10 years.

In the US where bounty is plentiful and our resources are estimated to be worth over $45 trillion, the creation of shortages requires quite a bit of manipulation, coercion, and corruption.   All wrapped up in a neat package of pure evil.   The White House Handlers began this matrix when they banned fracking and thus diffused an oil independent nation.

But that was only the beginning.

Shutting down commerce.   Derailing employment so as to create massive vacancies which shutter small businesses.   Inserting terrorism.   Inserting illegal welfare entitlements.   These societal vagrancies are actively created, they do NOT occur by social evolution.

In actuality there are NO shortages of Anything!

Instead we are fed an intravenous disparagement of fear through climate disaster, overpopulation starvation, terrorism, disease, disease, and, did I mention – disease.   Ebola is rising! Dengue is rising!   And soon people will jump off cliffs like sheep committing Hari Kari…

All because, the hype of television media puppets who see themselves as gods of lore saving mankind from itself has been bought and ripped of every viable brain cell.

They fantasize of their mythological powers while popping meth, acid, mushrooms, and every other street drug for which I know no name…   In other words, they are chemical. Their humanism has been sucked. And this is all that’s left.   I guess, I am a bit peesedOFFFF.
