The controlled demolition of Australia’s economy continues, as one of our last two remaining oil refineries just happens to go up in flames.

What are the odds.
From their ABC:
An “unprecedented” fire has broken out at one of Australia’s two operational oil refineries, with residents in parts of Geelong told to stay indoors due to smoke.
A watch and act has since been issued for suburbs in Geelong, with residents warned to close windows to keep out hazardous smoke.
Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) was called to the Viva Energy Refinery at 11:05pm following multiple reports of “explosions and flames”.
FRV Assistant Chief Fire Officer Michael McGuinness said the fire started in the “mogas” section of the plant where motor gasoline is produced.
“There’s been some sort of leak, there’s hydrocarbons, flammable liquids which very readily caught fire,” he said.
“It was burning in an area of approximately 30 metres by 30 metres. There have been several small explosions.”
FRV said all staff have been accounted for, but the fire is not yet under control.
Given that the Geelong oil refinery had been operating at 100% capacity and maintenance work was delayed in order to keep up with demand, it is entirely possible this was an accident. In which case we can point our fingers squarely at successive Australian governments whose wilful negligence allowed all but two of our oil refineries to shut down.
Prime Minister Albanese has just spent a week or so begging Asia for more oil. It’s all for nought now.
Sabotage is of course entirely possible. Australia has sent personnel and equipment to the Middle East. The government insists it is simply for defensive purposes only, thus we are not at war. This is pure cope, as aiding in defence frees up other resources for offence. Of course we’re at war.
Therefore multiple factions have the motivation to further exacerbate Australia’s already fragile fuel crisis, either to dissuade or encourage further involvement. As The XYZ has reported, the oil crisis doesn’t simply mean that our economy grinds to a halt – it means Australia starves.
The concept of Fifth Generation Warfare or unrestricted warfare, whereby states weaponise industrial “accidents”, media and social media manipulation, election tampering and psychological conditioning to achieve war aims, means that there is no longer a distinction between the front line and the rear, between combatant and civilian. Frankly, we all deserve to march this Anzac Day.
Communist ecoterrorism is also entirely possible. They have been sabotaging oil and gas infrastructure, food and chemical production facilities the world over for years. It’s why I refer to Western rulers as mere managers. “American” imperial ambitions certainly appear to be lining up quite well with the WEF’s determination to make us eat the bugs.
One more observation. A lot more people will be taking public transport. Keep your eyes open.
