European Union policymakers have started to prepare the public for siege conditions this winter if gas supplies from Russia are completely cut, an effort to demonstrate diplomatic resolve as well as avoid panic later in the year.

In recent weeks, officials from Germany and other EU member states have begun to talk openly and urgently about the need for immediate reductions in consumption in advance of the peak winter heating season.

They have also started to plan publicly for compulsory allocation, including rationing and prioritization among industrial users, as well as sharing among member states in the event there is not enough gas to supply everyone.

“The resurgent Russian Empire versus the incipient Fourth Riech. Battling for the plentiful resources of the Ukraine.”

Russia has a ton of fuel, and probably much more that they haven’t yet found, so they don’t need the Ukrainian fuel. But if it’s a spoil of this war, so be it.

Perhaps, if they Neocons wanted to keep hold of this fuel, they should have taken the deal offered by Russia before the fighting started, where Ukraine was left intact (other than Crimea), in exchange for them not flirting with or joining NATO.

Well, too late now for the Neocons to change the inevitable outcome, and that’s why they’re off to trying to start a war with China.

One other thing to keep in mind is that the Neocon/Globalist bunch would not have permitted much development of this fuel, as their obsession is SHUTTING DOWN fossil fuels and they likely would have forced Ukraine to cap their wells in short order...so Ukraine’s only hope, in hindsight, was to tell the Neocons to stuff it, and that they were going to take the Russian deal - but they didn’t. Their mistake.

Oktoberfest may be AXED due to Putin gas crisis, and Bavarian breweries told to stop making BEER as it's revealed Germans must pay £1,000-a-year 'gas surcharge' ON TOP of bills and Hanover turns off hot water

Germany could be forced to scrap Oktoberfest celebrations and its famous Christmas markets as officials desperately search for ways to save energy after Russia began throttling gas supplies to Europe.

Hanover, yesterday became the first major city on the continent to announce it will turn off all hot water in public buildings to conserve energy, while Berlin has begun dimming streetlights and Augsburg has turned off public water fountains.

Was there not a story here on FR a few years ago that stated Israel had discovered a vast “deposit” of natural gas just off their shores?

Yes, but Israel is mean to Palestinian Saints in the Gaza, and Bibi Netanyahu was a Western UNAPPROVED Prime Minister then, so Israel must reform themselves before selling Gas to the European Aristocracy.

Freezing in darkened homes and having no food on the shelves is the price the Europeans will pay for embracing the green death cult. Mother Gaia is a wrathful god and demands human sacrifices by the millions in the name of climate change.

Activated charcoal will deodorize natural gas. It can be reactivated and used over and over again.

In the US we use a blend of sulfur compounds with an unpleasant odor.

In Europe they use an emetic odorant that induces a wretch response. Very effective at getting people away from the leak!

“Activated charcoal will deodorize natural gas. It can be reactivated and used over and over again.”

Makes sense, although reactivating means ‘heated’, I believe, so they’ll be consumin some gas for that. LOL.

Obviously this will also need to be done on a large scale.

Actually the USA has among the world's largest supplies of natural gas. We could export enough liquid LNG to supply all of the gas needed in Europe, and rake in billions of dollars per year.

And then they’ll be telling us WE’RE facing shortages because there’s not enough to go around.

Re: Photo in Post 10

The Germans, born followers and superior in their own minds to everyone else, smugly laughed at President Trump when he warned them.

Let them eat cake in the darkness and freezing cold.

I wouldn’t be so flippant about the average workaday Fritz’s plight over there. Our DC masters have the same thing in store for you and me next winter, if not in ‘22.

It is WEF and Schwab’s adherents in Western govrenments who are pushing for it. Putin has made clear we are going to have nuclear war long before that is a danger of happening.

While I am not a fan of Russian autocracy his enemy and my enemy, the globalonialists are the same enemy.
