This is the training-wheels version of whats going on:

Quote:
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered."
- Thomas Jefferson

Please note that this quote is in question/dispute (completely fake):
http://www.barrypopik.com/index.php/..._issue_of_the/

But then you look into JFK and what he said about the Federal Reserve. Look into Executive order 11110
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_11110
And then he was wasted. Spooky no doubt.

Basically 11110 is transferring power from the President to the Secretary of the Treasury (Not the fed) to print Silver-backed bank notes. The official word is that this was meant to be a temporary transition so that he could give more power to the federal reserve. However take a look at his speech:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvSD6If3zds

Which talks about secret societies and "preserving tradition". The tradition of the US was to back their dollars against gold or silver.

"ON subversion instead of elections" - talking about the current political climate which you need to be bought and paid for just to get into power.

Wow didn't know comparing fuel prices could lead us to talking about D-day. But I suppose it's the AFF where every thread stays on topic.

I wonder how long the price of fuel will be down for? It's good at the moment, but like I said to the missus it was less then a decade ago we were complain about hitting a dollar a litre.

Opps sorry just realize there was 2 threads about petrol. One prices the other crisis.

We trust our politicians to rule us wisely, why should we worry?

Yesterdays tinfoil and fruit looping is todays reality...

As much as I am enjoying the lower fuel prices, shale oil isn't able to survive at $45 a barrel. And the Saudis don't care, they will be grinning all the way to the bank when the shale producers begin folding and removing the supply that created the current conditions

Saw that

Some places haven't risen prices, others only 10cents higher, some others 20cents a litre higher.

I asked the attendant
Stated is a quiet period this time of year and risen prices to meet profit targets or something

Last 2 or 3 tanks of BP 98 have been around $1.30/lt. That is down from between $1.60-1.70/lt so I still think that's a win.

Ye i'm wondering if LPG prices are going to start following petrol......Its all down to the barrel price for petrol and tonnage price for LPG.

Last year they said their was a very cold winter in Europe and that sent LPG thru the roof....This year has been exactly the oppesite......Go figure!

Well other than a very rare exception every servo in Adelaide Is 1.19

Have been for a week. Interesting every station across all brands is the same and 'competition' seems to be null. It's almost as if they're operating as a single entity...

Has the price of engine oil halved? I'm guessing if the raw material is less than half price....HPR30 should now by around $15 per 5 litres....

Most engine oils are either all, or partially synthetic now, so, I wouldn't a big reduction in price.

After returnjng to Adelaide after two weeks overseas, I was dissapointed to see petrol had jumped to around $1.18 a litre ( was 99 cents pre trip). However went to Costco today, and they had unleaded for 95 cents a litre. Even the BP a few hundred metres down the road was selling it for $1.17 ( and they were trying to price match for a little while, but have obviously given up). Too bad we cant bring in petrol duty and tax free, got a couple of bottles of vodka for $15 a bottle, same bottles in shop were $50.

In 1973, the Shah of Iran told the New York Times, "Of course [the world price of oil] is going to rise....Certainly! And how...; You [Western nations] increased the price of wheat you sell us by 300%, and the same for sugar and cement...; You buy our crude oil and sell it back to us, refined as petrochemicals, at a hundred times the price you've paid to us...; It's only fair that, from now on, you should pay more for oil. Let's say ten times more."

More proof that buying Gold and preparing for the worst is the best thing I can be doing right now.

We are at war gentlemen. Don't forget that all another country needs to do to wipe us out is increase the price of something until we are buying everyday items with debt. Oh wait. That already happened.

I see a future where Australia's population is living like Africans on food rations. We are at the mercy of a Global economy and if the US or China go to war (with nukes) we are finished as who knows what kind of insane economic conditions our economy could stay afloat in. As it is right now we are barely staying afloat on the back of a global economy that is doing GOOD. Nevermind one that has collapsed entirely.

Btw the safest method of storing petrol is in individual Jerry cans. If you get a puncture in one you only lose 20 litres instead of 50-150 litres and they are easy to move around in the event of having to de-*** the area. Don't bother with ex-army jerry cans as they have seen too much use. Only buy the brand new ones, which are pretty expensive but worth every penny.
End of the world?

I bought a coupe a while back so I'm set...
