We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
We are on the brink of breaking the backbone of Australia.
Right now this country has around 26 days of diesel left in reserve. We have 28,000 unfilled truck driver positions.
Nearly half the current driver workforce is over 55 years old. The next generation is not coming through.
The web that holds this nation together is fraying thread by thread and most Australians have no idea.
So let me walk you through what happens when trucks stop.
🔴 DAY 1 to 3
Supermarket shelves begin to empty. Supermarkets carry roughly 10 days of dry goods and about 7 days of frozen and fresh. Panic buying cuts that in half overnight.
We saw it with COVID. We see it right now with the fuel panic already hitting regional stations across the country.
🔴 WEEK 1
Fresh produce gone. Meat gone. Dairy gone. Hospitals burn through their 3 day medication buffer.
Fuel stations in regional and remote areas run dry first. Communities like those along the Perth to Alice Springs corridor get cut off. No fuel in means no food out.
🔴 WEEK 2
Construction stops. No materials moving means no sites running. Manufacturing lines shut down because components stopped arriving.
🔴 WEEK 3 to 4
Farms start to fail. Livestock trucks are not moving. Animals are suffering. Fertiliser is not arriving.
The food that was growing in the ground starts to stay there because there is nobody to move it and no fuel to run the cold chain that keeps it alive.
The Grattan Institute confirmed the Strait of Hormuz crisis has already pushed diesel and petrol prices up 70 percent for some operators.
Transport companies are parking trucks right now because they cannot absorb the cost.
🔴 BEYOND 4 WEEKS
The country fractures. Remote communities are already living this. The Lismore floods showed us what weeks without trucks looks like.
Shelves stayed empty for up to 4 months.
That was one region. Scale that nationally and you have a humanitarian crisis on Australian soil.
Australia moves 70 per cent of all freight by road. There is no backup plan. Rail cannot absorb it.
There is no reserve fleet sitting idle. There is no government emergency driver pool.
The backbone of this nation is a truck driver.
And right now that backbone is being systematically broken by underpayment, overregulation, an ageing workforce nobody is replacing, a fuel crisis Canberra refuses to take seriously, and a government more focused on a 30 year submarine plan than a 30 day diesel reserve.
Once the web breaks, Australia breaks.
Not in theory. In weeks.

Gavin Newsom caught in a massive federal money laundering scam
Newsom increased ambulance costs 300%, then requested reimbursements from the federal government, but it was fake
He’d then pay a different company a fraction of the cost and pocket the rest. Stealing billions
“One of the largest and most convoluted schemes in modern history has been discovered during a review of California's medical financial records”
“Investigators found that under Gavin Newsom's leadership, the Golden State has essentially been funneling taxpayer money from all across America to prop up California's own finances.
Genesis Plan started in 2022 and it revolves around the complex concept of intergovernmental transfers, which in simple terms is when a local hospital or county makes a transfer to the state Medicaid agency for payments of medical services such as ambulance rides
-
After the transfers are made, the state can then request a matching amount of money from the federal government

But Gavin ...
Leaked phone call from January 4, 2025 (3 days before the devastating Palisades Fire)
The call is between Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and John Alle, a property manager and whistleblower in the Pacific Palisades, Westlake and MacArthur Park areas
John Alle contacted Karen Bass to warn her about extreme fire risks due to weather conditions like high winds and dry brush
Karen Bass tells him to “read between the lines,” “hold tight,” and that “you will understand soon.”
She knew something was coming, almost like a planned fire (many believe the land grab)
This call is interpreted as her knowing serious fire danger was imminent but not wanting to discuss what was about to happen openly….
Very cryptic

🇮🇷🇷🇺🇨🇳 Mackinder's Dread Realized
Harold Mackinder wrote in 1904 that the era of European maritime predominance established 400 years earlier was coming to an end. Western naval and colonial powers had previously been able to outflank and dominate the Asian landmass through superior technology. But the consolidation of great continental-sized land powers such as the Russian Federation and potentially China—combined with changes in land transportation—meant that insular maritime democracies including Great Britain would have a more difficult time maintaining their global position. Mackinder asked his readers to envision continental Europe, continental Asia, and continental Africa as a single “World Island,” possessing most of the world’s population and industrial potential.
The core of this world island he called the Heartland, inaccessible to sea power—essentially, Russia, Mongolia, Tibet, and Central Asia, including parts of China and Iran. If the world island ...
