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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    This is actually a good thing. In the big scheme of things.
    It feels like a certain group of elites got the timing wrong or were trying to rush things.

    Tucker Carson went into this on Monday

    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

    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."
