Just as a continuation to one of my earlier posts this week re: gas prices in the US, here is an example of what the Brits are paying for their gas right now…
Are we going to see these crazy prices on our shores soon?
Technical glitch…ummm. Sounds a little fishy to me. Might be a good idea to have some cold hard cash stored somewhere JUST in case of another glitch. Let’s just say, I’m pretty sure this won’t be the last one….
Better to be safe then sorry…when one can’t access their own money, when they want to, one must take other precautions, while you still can.
I can’t say I’m clued up on the finer details of what is going on in Greece at the moment, aside from the fact that they are in debt to their eyeballs and the Greek people have had enough, hence the protests etc..
But, I must say, just listening to Evelyn speak about the austerity measures being implemented, one must think that the Global economy is not in a good place at present.
I was sent this article link from a friend in the US this morning. What we need to be thinking about, those of us living downunder, is if these are the exorbitant prices being paid in the US, then one only needs to wonder what we’re going to be paying here in Australia?
Bearing in mind that these price hikes are taking effect today, even before news of war in the Middle East between Israel, Iran, the US etc.
We must remember that the price of oil basically affects our everyday lives! Not just what we pay at the petrol pump, but our food, our jobs – EVERYTHING!
Take heed readers…might be time to start thinking of contingencies plans for your families. Don’t get caught with your pants down!
Add to your plan, a trip to Supercheap Auto to buy a locking petrol cap for $21.99. Expensive petrol can do some crazy things to our fellow citizens. Might be a good investment, I think.
I think the important point that Mr Swanepoel forgot to mention was to store food and water. Yes, I totally agree about investing in precious metals to protect ones wealth, but you can’t eat your precious metals or your cash.
Food and water is what we all need for survival. Inflation will most definitely hit, if not hyperinflation (in the case of the US and EU countries), and the price of food will be more expensive as compared to today’s prices.
With the threat of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz to the Western world, this will definitely spike the price of oil, which means gas at the gas pump.
The price of petrol at the pump could rise anywhere from $2-6 a litre, overnight! That is the talk in the US at the moment. What price would Australians be paying?
Just imagine what these oil prices would do to the trucking businesses who deliver our food to the supermarkets? If they can’t afford the exorbitant petrol prices, what do you think will happen to the price of food?
I definitely agree with Mr Swanepoel to have cash on hand, in case of a bank run, to invest any extra cash into precious metals – but, in my opinion, we also need to store food items and water supplies for your families. With thousands of Australians losing their jobs already this year, having to fork out money to buy food at higher prices, may already be a stress that some families could do without.
Like, I have been saying for a while now, we can prepare ourselves financially with cash and precious metals, but if we don’t have enough food and water in our homes to feed and sustain our families, all other preparations will be in vain.
As Mr Swanepoel alluded to, it’s better to be prepared, and either way, if things don’t turn out to be bad as predicted, (although, I believe that it will) then you haven’t lost out, in any way.
Take heed, have a look around and find out what is happening in the EU at present, keep an eye on Greece, the US and Chinese financial situations, and make the necessary precautions to protect your financial best interests and your families well being.
Check out some of the links on the my blog as you will find a lot of helpful information and material that can assist in educating you, your neighbours and friends….material that you won’t hear or see on television, that’s for sure!
If you don’t know what Coal Seam Gas is, I recommend you watch a movie set in the US by Josh Fox. www.gaslandthemovie.com.
I guarantee you won’t want this carry on happening in your backyard.
Food for thought….if “fracking” requires millions and millions of gallons of water each year to drill, how long is Australia’s water supply going to last for?
“Fracking” poisons the water, the air, the soil and everything in it, on it and around it! Unless you live on the moon – this means, it poisons you, me our grandchildren, our great grandchildren and so on.

Stumbled upon this interview tonight while checking out articles on www.stevequayle.com
ISDA TO DECIDE IF 5 MAJOR US BANKS GO BANKRUPT THIS WEEK
Whether you believe that this will happen this week or even this year, wouldn’t hurt to make sure you have some cash on hand, a full tank of petrol and some non perishable food and water – just in case.
According to Jim Sinclair there is an absolute media blackout on this issue making this a must listen interview:
As a mother, this topic definitely affects me. To those that follow my blogs, this topic could be seen as steering in a completely different tangent from my other posts, but as a devout truth seeker, I sincerely believe that society needs to be educated about what Government agencies worldwide allow into our food supplies.
I encourage everyone to take the time to research for yourselves the ingredients of the foods that you and our family consume on a daily basis. What are the additives and colourings? Where are they derived from? What affects do these preservatives have on our bodies and minds?
We owe it to ourselves, and especially to our children, to find out what we are consuming from day to day.
Just as a responsible adult would not consider giving their child an illicit drug for breakfast, how is it any different from giving your child food containing dangerous and unknown additives and preservatives that can be deadly?
Aspartame in our food supply, fluoride in our water supply, chem trails in the sky…what else is the Government up too?
Air. Water. Berries. Beans. Nuts. Without the first, most people will die within a couple of minutes. Without the second, you could survive for a few days, but that’s all. And according to Forbes magazine, the third, fourth and fifth items are the most important and healthiest food items you can eat. Bottom line: if [...]
Europe is the focus for bureaucratic bungling at the moment. It will probably remain in the spotlight for some time. But Japan… Japan is in a class all of its own. For more than 20 years now, the Japanese economy has been in and out of recession. The bureaucrats have met every ‘challenge’ with a [...]
The problem with being a big oil and gas producer is that each day takes you closer to going out of business – unless you can find new reserves to replace those sent to market. In the last five years, the oil majors have been exploring the proven shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico, [...]
The idea of risk is a very personal thing. What we see as risky, you may not. And what you see as risky, we may see as completely safe. One trick to successful investing isn’t to just figure out what you see as risky, but to also figure out whether other investors see it as [...]
