This is just a post to let the folks on my mailing list know I’ll be taking a holiday until January 1st (Jan 2nd in Australia); won’t be writing anything unless they try to nab Assange from the embassy or something. Thank you all so much for your love and support!

This is the time of year that everyone should think about what the new year will bring. If you are assuming that there will be petrol available at the petrol stations, at SOME price not too dissimilar from now, then you are almost certainly wrong.
The recent collapsing price of fuel has nothing whatever to do with production outweighing demand. On October 3, 2018, the US quietly began running down its stockpiles called the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) (https://www.spr.doe.gov/dir/dir.html) at the rate of 200,000 barrels per day, every day through to early December, dropping the US price from $80 to $50/barrel. Given that the SPR needs to be maintained in the longer term at about 700 million barrels, you might wonder what happened on October 3 to cause this to happen. A quick look at the headlines of the day show that the murder of Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi Arabia might have had something to do with it. Are the US oil-frackers having a hard time increasing production?
Meanwhile the MSM are not mentioning the SPR and talking about it as if it was real US production. Saudi Arabia and Russia are certainly not open about their oil production rates, and Iran is probably not open either, selling to Turkey, India and China on a “off the books” basis. So no one really knows what the world situation is.
All OECD countries are supposed to keep 3 months’ worth of consumption in reserve, to cope with minor supply emergencies, but Australia has none in a SPR, maintaining the refining industries have enough privately-held reserves to meet their target.
So if the world supply situation gets out of whack with demand, as it very well could given the lack information, we could be finding out in 2019 whether the Australian situation is covered during “minor emergencies”.
Time to get up off my rump
Ere my wits go in a slump
Jive my joe with sugar lump
Write some words to sprightly jump
For ’tis another New Year’s Eve
The day for aces up my sleeve
To lead me into make-believe
For heights that I might yet achieve
Enjoy your much deserved R&R! Have a great holiday, Caitlin!

GLOBAL SECURITY STRATEGY (By the Globalist’s)
“British taxpayers are funding prosecutions in Pakistan that have led to dozens of death sentences, according to newly disclosed details of a secretive UK aid program.
The documents reveal that the Foreign Office is supporting specialist civilian courts that prosecute terrorist suspects in what the UK government global security strategy calls a “rule of law” program in Pakistan.”

A ditty for dim days down under:
The quoll and the quokka
Have milk in their mocha
And prance to the polka
Around Andamooka

You will be missed, especially when Trump burps up his latest and most outrageous
mindboggling ideas on how to manage his Presidential duties.
