Excerpt:
"Over the past week, shocked Europeans - mostly in the UK and Ireland - have been posting viral photos of shockingly high energy bills amid the ongoing (and worsening) energy crisis.

Several of the posts were from small business owners who getting absolutely crushed right now, and won't be able to remain operational much longer.

One such owner is Geraldine Dolan, who owns the Poppyfields cafe in Athlone, Ireland - and was charged nearly €10,000 (US$10,021) for just over two months of energy usage.

As the Irish Times reports, "The cost of electricity to the Poppyfields cafe for 73 days from early June until the end of August came in at €9,024.70 an increase of 250 per cent in just 12 months. There doesn’t include the €812.22 in VAT, which brought her total bill to €9,836.92."

"How in the name of God is this possible," tweeted Dolan."

The rate is about $1.50 per kwh.
The average rate in the US is less than $0.15 per kwh at the present time.

    I will never forget those POS Krauts laughing at Trump when he was making a speech to the UN, telling Germany that they were over reliant on Russian energy. Wo is laughing now????? Of course...It wouldn't surprise me if Bite me sets up a worldwide energy welfare plan so Germans and this Irish lady can access my tax money! Then the laugh will be on me and all Americans.

    Tucker Carson went into this on Monday

    europe is screwed, very, very screwed

    you cannot buy firewood in Germany
    it is all sold

    on Tuesday he showed that to refill the batteries on a Tesla in Sweden(??) it would now coast around $100, much more than a full tank of gas

    and we are not far behind thanks to the usurper biden and his cabal of traitors

      We are being brought to the precipice because people have to see what is happening for themselves you can’t tell them. Lord knows I try.
      Only at the precipice will people find the will to change.

      HOW DO YOU AMPLIFY A DESIRED THEME-NARRATIVE?
      MSDNC controls what you see [digital echo].
      Twitter - FB - GOOG control what you see and what trends [digital echo].
      Hollywood ['stars'] swarm to enforce ['trend' echo].
      Blue checkmarks swarm to enforce [digital echo].
      ANTIFA swarm to enforce [non_digital echo].
      Rage and emotion follow by those indoctrinated [echo controlled].
      Define 'indoctrinate'.
      to often repeat an idea or belief to someone in order to persuade them to accept it
      Next: grab 'rage & emotion' [organized platform(s)] by indoctrinated and project as 'majority' [zoom and enhance _narrow focus as mainstream].
      System of control.
      Many choose the path of least resistance.
      For many you cannot tell them the truth.
      You must show them.
      Only at the PRECIPICE will people find the will [strength] to change and break the system of control [be free].
      Q

    Tucker went into this in detail. Yes, there is a major energy crisis in Europe. The French Revolution began when citizens could no longer by bread - "Let them eat cake." Looks like history will repeat itself -"We are saving them planet from certain doom."

    This better be a wake up call. We have winter approaching also. Americans would probably gather together and escort the Dems out of the Congressional Halls. Wasn't the best move for Biden to shut down the Pipeline.and attempt cripling the oil industry. We aren't equipped to heat with anything else.

      Better here in southern Wisconsin, although all utilities have gone up some 30% to 50% in the last year from low costs compared to some other parts of the country.

    Customers of the utility company Xcel in Colorado were shocked to discover their smart thermostats were locked at 82 degrees, preventing use of their AC for relief from the heat. I wonder if they'll discover the same thing happens this Winter, when the thermostat locks at 62 degrees?

    Is everyone missing the point that this is what will happen in America, too? Are we ready for that? Are you talking to all of your neighbors about how you are going to work together to survive? You better starting talking the talk and walking the walk.

      I am ready.......two things I don’t argue anymore, Jesus and Prepping. People either get it or they don’t. It matters not to me.
      My response will always be “You do you boo.”
      As a nation we need to get knocked down Maslow’s Pyramid a few levels. Kinda brings reality into focus when you’re starving and cold.
      Also thins the riff-raff out.
      Sorry.....I’m just that much of a misanthrope now. I’ve argued until I was blue in the face. Been called every kind of ...ist......accused of every kind of ....ism. I’m all done. Let the chips fall where they may.
      And any of you bleeding heart liberals need to know I was once one of you. But, now I’m all bled out.

        Yes, we need at least one Long Cold Hard Winter. I've mentioned prepping to relatives that live in dense urban areas. In the event of calamity, they will be in a rough place. I've got a good level of preps Plus my connections in the community. The closest city to me is Tucson, 75 miles to the north. Get your preps, build your connections and otherwise, keep quiet about what you have and where you have it. This Winter is likely, by design, to get quite Cold.

      I only give my Food Storage and Prep pitch one time per person -- even family members and close friends. I make the pitch short and on point. If they have preps, great - if not, then I offer information (if they are interested). Then I keep quiet -- said my piece, got my preps, keep quiet.

    Oh... and how they all laughed at Mr Trump. It's sad how successful the deep state has been at vilifying him. The "sheep" believe everything they see on the fake news... to their own detriment.

    I can see far enough ahead to predict the next few moves of the Great Reset plan, and they are scary.

    First off, since both the energy and food shortages are already being felt, but people are not even close to ready for a revolution (except maybe in Sri Lanka where they are starving), I expect, maybe as soon as this fall, that the globalists have planned for the coming panic reaction and intend to maneuver us into electing another Hitler -- some fake-populist dictator who blames a scapegoat and promises to get us our heat working again and our jobs back.

    The scapegoat will be us, the Right. And as part of blaming us, you can be sure that media which allow dissidents to post will be shut down insofar as they can. So Bitchute, Locals, Rumble, Odysee, Substack, and Brighteon will either be censored or have their domain names revoked. I hope this forum will go unnoticed by the censors but if not, it goes too.

    After that, it's on to the next part of Agenda 2030, which is to round up rural residents, forcibly move them into major cities and keep them there. There, too, we can only hope that any "Gulch" would go unnoticed. I expect that thermal imaging would be used to hunt down any holdouts.

    If it goes that far, and I think it will, then we're in a guerilla war.

      The censorship you so correctly discuss. That is why Truth Social was created.

        I don't expect Truth Social to live up to its users', or Trump's, expectations. Not only has it capitulated by adding enough heavy-handed moderation to satisfy Apple's app store (which is why I believe they will similarly submit to Google), it also engages in heavy-handed moderation of its own. If you criticize Trump for his tendency to hire untrustworthy people for his cabinet, or for trusting the vaccine makers, you get banned. This is why I have not joined Truth Social. Its owner, Devin Nunes, is just in it for the money.

        Even Gab has some things you can't say on it, though it allows and attracts enough racism that I feel the need to use a huge blocklist to read that site at all.

          I have not signed up to TS , yet. Maybe Truth social is more for Trumps messages when the Deep state shuts down all platforms due to loss of narrative. Versus other folks messages. Personally I don’t like any censorship, even if it is racist, Free speech is not meant to coddle the listener, it is to judge a persons character. When you know someone’s character by all means block them.

      I thinQ Dominion machines voted for this crap. The European people have had massive protests for 5-6 years without ANY coverage in the MSM. Those people you criticize could be saying the same thing about US. As they witness the Democrat shit show we are experiencing.

        Europe has always had a much more controlled press than we do. Stories that would lead voters to panic cannot be told, unless the government wants them to panic so it can take more power through another phony emergency.

    Europeans do not seem to be free thinkers. They follow the US lead, Biden says climate crisis, shut down CO1, they say yes, right away. Germany is the one that gets me, they are going to let their people freeze rather than take Russian oil, at the same time sending millions to Eukraine becaseu Biden says so. Soros is calling his shots, Sors screwed over the Jews during Hitler, yet they are following his marching orders. He is Open Borders, he is Gov. for Impact, yet Germany seems clueless.

    Apparently basing your energy policy on the (scripted) rantings of a autistic 13-year-old isn't really a sound game plan?
    Sandy Cortez, your office is calling.

    ROTFLMAO...

    FWIW, this time... SOLAR MIGHT BE a good investment in FL... If the electricity prices are about to QUADRUPLE. Then Pre-purchasing 20 years of electricity makes some sense!
