I live where they switch between winter gas (Benzine, short molecule chains) and summer gas (pure, long molecule chains).

1. Which is the best season to buy/rotate my gas supply for storage?
2. Also, under normal circumstances premium octane is a waist of money or even bad for my machines, but is it better for storage?   Continue reading “Letter: Buying Gas for Storage”

Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

“If Ukraine breaks apart, it will trigger a war,” warns a senior Russian government official. The FT reports Russia is prepared to fight a war over the Ukrainian territory of Crimea (where the largest ethnic Russian population lives and they have a military base). Conjuring images of the 2008 Russian invasion of Georgia, the official told the FT, “they will lose Crimea first [because] we will go in and protect [it], just as we did in Georgia.” The Kremlin regards the Georgian conflict as the biggest stand-off between Russia and the west since the end of the Cold War and it has fed determination in Moscow to push back against what it believes to be western attempts to contain Russia.   Continue reading “Russia Prepared To Fight War Over Ukraine, Senior Government Official Admits”

This week The Wall Street Journal reported that, Soros Fund Management has doubled up a bet that the S&P 500 is headed for a fall.  As many of our readers know George Soros is famous for betting on crashing markets, and more often then not, he wins.  Due to this reputation, when Soros makes a bet, people start paying attention.

Just over 2 decades ago Soros made his most famous investment by shorting the British pound and pocketing a billion dollars in the process.   Continue reading “Soros makes $1.3 billion bet on stock market collapse”

Not only is Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide (also known as glyphosate) causing cancer, birth defects, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease and more, (read more about that here) it could also be shrinking the population of the North American monarch butterfly.

The World Wildlife fund announced that last year’s migration from Canada, to the United States and down to Mexico was the lowest it’s ever been since scientists began tracking them over twenty years ago. (1) In fact, a 43 percent drop has been measured compared to last year, that’s huge and very concerning.   Continue reading “Not Just Bees: Disappearence of Monarch Butterflies Linked To Monsanto’s Roundup Herbicide”

The First Amendment says “Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press…” But under the Obama administration, the Federal Communications Commission is planning to send government contractors into the nation’s newsrooms to determine whether journalists are producing articles, television reports, Internet content, and commentary that meets the public’s “critical information needs.” Those “needs” will be defined by the administration, and news outlets that do not comply with the government’s standards could face an uncertain future. It’s hard to imagine a project more at odds with the First Amendment.   Continue reading “New Obama initiative tramples First Amendment protections”

Anti-War – by John Pilger

Fifty years ago, E.P. Thompson’s The Making of the English Working Class rescued the study of history from the powerful. Kings and queens, landowners, industrialists, politicians and imperialists had owned much of the public memory. In 1980, Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States also demonstrated that the freedoms and rights we enjoy precariously – free expression, free association, the jury system, the rights of minorities – were the achievements of ordinary people, not the gift of elites.   Continue reading “‘Good’ War, ‘Bad’ War”

Yesterday self-proclaimed Satanist Miranda Barbour‘s father denied that his daughter was a satanic cult mass murderer. Dean Barbour’s nineteen year-old recently confessed to killing Troy LaFerrara and at least 22 others as part of her involvement in a satanic cult.http://news.yahoo.com/pa-craigslist-killing-suspect-39-dad-she-39-072205…

“Satanism is real,” Dean admitted, however. “It’s a growing cult that will go to great lengths to seize our children. You don’t have to be affiliated with the ‘Church ofSatan’ to worship him.” http://goo.gl/1V52Gm   Continue reading “Is society in denial of satanic cult mass murderers?”

WEB Notes: We will keep reporting on this topic. You really want to watch Jerusalem as a Christian. When we start talking about moving administrator roles over the Dome of the Rock you really need to wake up and realize what hour we are in.

(WND) – The Palestinian Authority received a pledge from the U.S. that by the end of 2014, the Obama administration will issue an official written declaration presenting general highlights of a future Palestinian state, a senior Palestinian negotiator told WND.   Continue reading “Obama’s ‘big breakthrough’ coming by end of year”

The Economic Collapse – by Michael Snyder

What are we to make of this sudden rash of banker suicides?  Does this trail of dead bankers lead somewhere?  Or could it be just a coincidence that so many bankers have died in such close proximity?  I will be perfectly honest and admit that I do not know what is going on.  But there are some common themes that seem to link at least some of these deaths together.  First of all, most of these men were in good health and in their prime working years.  Secondly, most of these “suicides” seem to have come out of nowhere and were a total surprise to their families.  Thirdly, three of the dead bankers worked for JP Morgan.  Fourthly, several of these individuals were either involved in foreign exchange trading or the trading of derivatives in some way.  So when “a foreign exchange trader” jumped to his death from the top of JP Morgan’s Hong Kong headquarters this morning, that definitely raised my eyebrows.  These dead bankers are starting to pile up, and something definitely stinks about this whole thing.   Continue reading “Does The Trail Of Dead Bankers Lead Somewhere?”
