I'm Proudly Panic Stockpiling !
May 21st, 2026 at 10:55am
 
The Strait of Hormuz, ships this side, after it was forced closed by the US and Israel's attack on Iran, have been arriving in ports and unloading their oil, etc.

Now there are no more ships coming. The oceans are empty.

US's (Australia's) strategic oil reverse has been lowered dramatically.

Petrol prices will start sky rocketing next month. The government's 50% discount is close to running out.

On the horizon, food shortages, goods and raw material shortages. Big inflation numbers.


If you haven't been panic stockpiling, what's your plan ?

What are you stockpiling, I doubt any of our food comes through Hormuz and most of our goods come from China.

China's also reliant on the strait : oil, gas, fertiliser, etc. China's no longer exporting sulfuric acid, which is used to produce fertilisers and for extraction in mining.

The coming US's winter crop is the smallest since 1972. Soya's bumper, all others have been effected by mostly drought.

There are already fertiliser shortages in parts of the world.

I'm guessing food prices should stay stable for a few more months, so have been cherry picking, such as quality marked down meats for pet food, freezing it off, preparing when pet foods dries up.

This week : couple of large bags of rice, a spare container of motor oil, and spare parts for tools, when parts disappear from shop shelves. Already full up with spare fuel.

Plus a free ute full of animal manure for spring veggie garden.

Consider every supply chain is going to slow, or freeze up. Figure out short, medium, and longterm things required, then start ticking them off.

Russia and China signed over 40 documents spanning economy, energy, transport, and international cooperation following talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in Beijing on Wednesday.

The Russian president described the Russia-China partnership as a stabilizing factor in international affairs.

Meanwhile Russian tankers are being sunk and their fuel hubs attacked via drones.

Signed agreements are empty, if fuel can't be delivered.

Not completely sure ... does Russia have the technical expertise to repair. Most of their men are either dead or fighting Ukrainians.

It's currently calm panic.

When the majority wake up, then it will convert to smug panic.

Big inflation numbers.

If you haven't been panic stockpiling, what's your plan ?




My local supermarket shelves are nearly all full atm.

(2nd) But what could i do....if those supermarket shelves, suddenly, mostly, became empty ?

It could not happen, in Australia ?
....do ya think ?


The cheapest safety option, imo, would be to slowly buy some 'dry' [i.e. cheap non-perishable] food stuffs,
and start stocking your pantry shelves,
for a day when my second sentence may become a reality.

Even if you only bought some 'chook wheat'.
[it could keep you and yours alive.
and you could learn a new skill set....how to make 'chook wheat' [or other grains] into a palitable food.]

Eating chook wheat ?

Our circumstances would never get that bad.

Right ?         Shocked



Of course, as an alternative, [if an increasingly serious, food supply shortage were to occur, and, you lived in an Australian city].......
we could choose to simply rely upon.....the good advice which our Federal government would choose to give you.

Because our Federal and State governments,
would only tell us,
what was only in our own best interests,
in the first instance.



[Q.   Do you remember 2020 and 2021, and how well, COVID was 'managed', in Australia ?
And do you remember the good advice which we all received, from our government and their officials ? ]



Psalms 118:8
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
9  It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.


Not so ?

Global interconnectedness makes the system incredibly fragile.

Countries like Australia canada russia and the USA are in the enviable position of being able to be self sufficient IF THEY are sane enough to choose to do so.

Australia is particularly foolish.

A food and energy exporter it strangles both these critical sectors.
Average age of a farmer in Australia now is 66.
Most are selling out to the corporations who are globalised and will produce wherever energy fertiliser and labor are cheap.
That is not us.


Should you stockpile?

Not if you don't have a large cache of weapons and if you are a city dweller there is no point whatsoever.

If Bobby stockpiled food and a  hungry 6 ft 2 Sudanese teenager comes through his window, he is probably giving up his stockpile

Cities will turn to chaos very quickly.

I was at the shops with my fit and beautiful wife earlier this week and I made the following observation.

" Honey, men complain about the way they are treated nowadays and how modern women don't want them.tjey complain about their incel life. But looking at these sloppy fat round shouldered losers who are walking like zombies, chowing down on their fast food, lifeless humorless, joyless , purposeless oxygen thieves, if I was a woman I would shun these losers as well".

I think we NEED a famine to shake these losers out of their extreme derp state.
Nothing less will do to waken them from chode hell.

If it was only one teenager I'd have a good chance but
up to a dozen at a time can raid your home.   Shocked

The cops could be 20km away eating doughnuts so not much help.   Embarrassed
