This is the training-wheels version of whats going on:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGk5ioEXlIM Quote:
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. |

You don't scare any of us - we're car enthusiasts, we live for today!
Knowing there's only 12 days of diesel supply left or the thought of that big fat tanker going to the bottom of the Indian Ocean on the way from Singapore only give us an adrenaline rush to add to the excitement of the 0-100 standing start. We trust our politicians to rule us wisely, why should we worry? And if the worst comes to the worst there's the BMW i3 |

Everything.
Our economy is a global one now, all of what I have said would be on topic if people understood the inner workings of our financial system. All I'm saying is that not enough people in Aus is aware of the real situation which is affecting their lives and I felt that they needed to be informed. I'm fond of getting as many of my fellow countrymen out from behind the Murdoch curtain as I can. I'm trying to undo the damage done by them over the many years. That's all. And since this is your forum and not mine and that you have given an ample nudge towards keeping clear from this kind of talk I will now stop participating in this thread.

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 Sent via HTC Velocity + [HolicsROM v1.3] [SWEEP2WAKE]

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.

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...

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.
