Financial World War Three has begun

Quite a statement from Willem Middelkoop, founder of the Commodity Discovery Fund and author of "The Big Reset“…
"This is a war, it's a financial, economic war, and according to me, it's World War Three," he said, noting that China has already demonstrated economic hostility by "not investing in U.S. Treasuries anymore, they're adding a lot of gold because it's the anti-dollar."
Speaking to Michelle Makori, Editor-In-Chief and Lead Anchor of Kitco News at the Prospectors & Developers Association Convention of Canada in Toronto, Middelkoop outlined that the global reset would likely result in a revamp of the current monetary system, in which the U.S. dollar is no longer the dominant reserve currency.

This is from a gold and commodities oriented site…Middlekoop is bullish on gold…and I’m not an overall financial expert..
So, is this hyperbole or cautionary???

I'm skeptical of all these goldbugs and others who have been predicting a dollar collapse within a year for the last 15 years.

Saw this on FB….did some research, turns out the impending DEF shortage is a reality….not sure about the Blackrock connection, but honestly wouldn’t surprise me. COVID I, II, III and IV didn’t do it. Murder hornets didn’t do it. TP shortages didn’t do it. Baby formula shortages didn’t do it. THIS is how they’re gonna ultimately make everyone take a knee—make the farmers unable to farm and the truckers unable to ship.
Do you know what DEF fluid is? It's Diesel Exhaust Fluid. Every Diesel truck that has been made since 2010 is required to use it. It's a product made of 67% Urea fertilizer and 33% distilled water. Every diesel truck you see driving down the road today has to have this product to drive. The engines won't start without it. There are regulators inside the engine that mix DEF with the Diesel to reduce Diesel emissions. That's the purpose of DEF.
Right now, Russia is the largest exporter of Urea by a wide margin. Qatar is second. Egypt and China are Tied for 3rd. Both Russia and China have decided to no longer export Urea. On top of that, India is the largest manufacturer of Urea in the world even though they consume most of what they make. What little they would export..........they no longer do. They are now stopping the exportation of any and all Urea minus a deal they just cut with Sri Lanka.
What does this mean for you and me? Well, first, the United States imports most of it's Urea fertilizer. We are the third largest importer in the entire world. We depend on other countries to eat, drive and ship our products.
Secondly... Flying J is the largest Service provider for Truckers around the Unites States. I'm sure you've seen their massive gas stations when traveling around the country. Flying J gets 70% of their DEF fluid from shipments via Union Pacific railroad. UP has single user access to the Fertilizer plants that Urea/DEF fluid comes from. No other rail provider has access to these distribution points. This means Flying J can't just go around Union Pacific. Union Pacific is in charge....for a reason I'm gonna mention in a few paragraphs.
Flying J provides 30% of all DEF consumed in the United States. UP has told Flying J to reduce their shipments by a whopping 50%. And if they do not comply then they will be completely embargoed. That would in effect bankrupt FJ. This means that 15% of all DEF consumed by truckers in the US is no longer available at the largest travel service center for the entire trucking industry.
Rome rotted from the inside out. It was easily invaded because it was occupied with internal problems. It appears we have discovered the Trigger. DEF fluid. If this holds up, DEF shortages will be the catalyst that causes food shortages in the coming months. Not only is there a shortage of fertilizer to grow crops in drought-stricken states (See Kansas' drop in wheat production for 2022)....but....now it looks like, unless the Federal Government intervenes via the Defense Production Act, ...which I am no longer confident they will....there is gonna be an absolute massive shortage of trucking in the coming months.
There simply isn't going to be DEF fluid sufficient to keep the engines running and moving. Home Depot is now limiting the amount of DEF you can buy in their stores.
I would think long and hard about the decisions you are making right now. Where you live. What you spend money on. How you prepare. This is so real that the CEO of Flying J, Shameek Konar was summoned to a Surface Transportation Board hearing to give them all this info.
From what I'm reading....Blackrock is the majority shareholder of Union Pacific railroad. How is that important? Americas biggest fertilizer producer is CF Industries. Their largest shareholder is Blackrock. Blackrock controls the fertilizer industry in the U.S.. Union Pacific has exclusive rights to distribution points of fertilizer. Urea is fertilizer. Flying J needs Urea/DEF. Blackrock is controlling everything.
The Chairman of the BlackRock Investment Institute is Tom Donilon, President Obama’s former National Security Advisor. Tom Donilon’s brother, Mike Donilon is a Senior Advisor to Joe Biden. Tom Donilon’s wife, Catherine Russell, is the White House Personnel Director. Tom Donilon’s daughter, Sarah Donilon, who graduated college in 2019, now works on the White House National Security Council.
It appears Blackrock is spearheading the dismantling of the US system on behalf of the Globalists. And the first domino they are pushing over is the energy sector. They are using DEF to get the party started. This is one sector of the biggest downfalls in political repercussions this country has ever faced…

Every diesel truck you see driving down the road today has to have this product to drive. The engines won't start without it. There are regulators inside the engine that mix DEF with the Diesel to reduce Diesel emissions.
There’s got to be a mechanical work around so the trucks will start and run without the DEF.

I’m not sure what it is. I had a ‘14 Mercedes diesel that used DEF. The DEF sensor in the tank went bad and they had to replace it. Once the sensor light came on, I had exactly TEN starts left and then the vehicle was disabled.

All I know is Mercedes wanted $8600 to repair the sensor, and on my LAST start I took it to an off-market guy who did it for $2600.

DEF is 32.5% Urea (a major component in fertilizer) and the rest de-ionized water. Urea is made from NatGas, water, atmospheric nitrogen and high pressure. With the demand on NatGas going through the roof, one can see why DEF is becoming shorter in supply.

It is against the law to modify an on-road engine from its EPA and CARB emissions tested levels.
That said some states do not test and in those states one can "delete" the emissions related components and then flash a new ECU tune for the engine to ignore the removed components and actually run. It is not likely that any trucking company or major business will ever due such a thing because of liability and fines.

Yes and no. The manufacture would have to flash new software and then let dealers to install it. The odds of this happening (due to Congress or the EPA overturning current regulations and then Cali adjusting CARB) is somewhere around hell freezing over with the current administration.

There is a reason that pre-TierIV diesel vehicles go for so much more premium than used newer vehicles. Also semi-truck rolling chassis (new chassis with an older overhauled engine to get around EPA and CARB regulations) is a huge business in KY and other states.
Also over the road trucks log books are tied into the ECU (called elogs) and that is a new regulation that the EPA and CARB instituted in the last 5 yearsish. Elogs are a push by them and the 3 biggest trucking companies to force the little mom & pop trucking companies out of business. S
And good luck with the cops if you are caught with a false log book.

Early in the Ukraine thread I said it was WAY too premature to assume Putin had lost it and that he might be playing the long game. His gambit doesn't seem so crazy now.
I think we can put to bed any fears of nuclear war now and focus on the mess we're actually.

I would imagine the next admin (hopefully 2025-2033) could change the law, or state it wouldn’t be enforced if it comes to crisis level shortages/sky high prices for this DEF..

I agree that this has holes, especially the Blackrock conspiracy but I do know that UP's system is having a meltdown and they have asked shippers to reduce cars on the system and have been running extra long trains due to lack of crews. We are having difficulty getting rail deliveries on both UP and BNSF. Both railroads saw traffic decline during the pandemic and put locomotives in storage and lost train crews. And now shipping is picking up and they can't get locomotives and crews back quick enough.

Lead times on basic construction materials are wild right now. Have a contractor fuck up his take offs and is short a meager 40 feet of ceramic lined ductile iron pipe...over 40 weeks out for pipe and liner that meets the spec. He's looking for an "or equal" material right now but it's looking like a minimum of 8 weeks...and those in the business know that time is money...

On a related note, Germany had 3 choices to focus their future energy needs
1. Coal (I didn’t know they had one of largest coal reserves in the world- Apparently 7th in world, and highest in Europe (US #1 by far).
2. Nuclear
3. Russia (+ Windmills and solar)
