Australia and New Zealand have both ceded any semblance of energy sovereignty in major way, notably in the closure of refineries, but also in the shuttering of productive wells on the spurious grounds of a non-existent climate emergency. Both are now highly dependent on imports, with New Zealand’s dependency at 100%, and both are about to discover the vulnerability inherent in such dependency. New Zealand gets its liauid fuels from refineries in South Korea, Malaysia and Singapore, but they get the raw material through the Straits of Hormuz. None of these countries hold substantial reserves themselves, making exports of what remains very unlikely. Some oil is now passing through the Straits, but only on a case by case basis, and only where the ship is not owned by a party to the war on Iran, only if the cargo is paid for in Chinese yuan, and only if a significant toll is paid. Asian nations will likely be forced to comply, which would be difficult for countries which have ceded much or all of their sovereignty to the American empire, such as South Korea and Japan. Oceania can expect shortages for a long time.
At the moment, fuel in New Zealand is being rationed by price, but soon it will be rationed by quantity, and by intended use under. Traffic light system reminiscent of the covid era. This is not a coincidence, as the pointless and destructive covid lockdowns were a practice run for the imposition of the planned digital control grid. Government will decide what uses of fuel merit access, with emergency services having priority of course. Leisure travel of all kinds would be a thing of the past if the fuel scarcity continues, which seems extremely likely, and freedom of association would go with it.
Unfortunately, use for farming may not receive the priority it deserves, and farmers are likely to be told to restrict their use of machinery. This would amount to a continuation of the ongoing war on farming, particularly animal husbandry. The climate zealots have wanted to eliminate animal products from the food chain in favour of nutritionally deficient veganism for a long time. They may make an exception for Klaus Schwab’s insect products however, and Bill Gates’ inedible and extremely unhealthy fake meat may also be allowed. The World Economic Forum, which dictates policy to our national managers, intends to separate people from the land in order to facilitate surveillance and micro-management of the population in 15 minute cities. Curtailing access to fuel would be a powerful tool to achieve this, which suggests that fuel scarcity may continue beyond the point where it would be necessary.
It would be a very good idea for people to work out carpooling arrangements, and to make sure they have a workable bicycle. Public transport may be available in cities, but service may be reduced. Air travel is likely to disappear entirely, as the WEF has been planning to phase it out for a long time. A lot more thought will have to go into any plans for travel, and any other uses for liquid fuel.
