The Latin American Report # 712

My friend, you endure the pointy tip of the spear being jammed into the heart of the world. Cuba is at the forefront, a precursor of what is coming everywhere. The attack of Usrael on Iran has - as was well known for decades would happen - closed off ~20% of the energy supplies of the world. Because Usrael attacked mineral production facilities in Iran, Iran has had no choice but to respond in kind, because that mineral production by it's enemies fuels their war machine attacking Iran. While Iran is backed against an existential wall by the inhuman slaughter of it's people, best revealed by the double tap Tomahawk chop attack on the Minab elementary school incinerating ~170 little girls on Purim, the opening salvo of the attack on Iran, the rest of the world must anticipate the consequences of the destruction of the petroleum production in the ME, the dark heart pumping the black blood that fuels commerce across the planet.

Cube is forewarned. As terrible as the warning has been, what is coming to the entire world is already known to Cuba, and your island is fully apprised of the consequences of that foundation being shattered beneath the structure of your civil society. I have for years availed you of my best counsel regarding means of replacing the mineral supplies modern civilization has depended on, that Cuba has been denied during that time.

Wood gas will run infernal combustion engines. The tech is not complex and can be adapted to both vehicles and fixed structures, where the gas can also heat homes and water, and cool homes and food, be pumped via pneumatic hoses to portable tools, such as chainsaws and lawmowers, and used to cook. It is vastly less efficient fuel than diesel or gasoline, but it is able to be produced in Cuba, with dried seaweed, straw, waste wood, paper, and even plastic.

I am perhaps among the most shielded in the world from this approaching economic shock, availed of hydroelectrical electricity, living in the USA which is the largest oil supplier in the world, but I predict that plebs everywhere will be denied these necessities even here, and I am scrambling to ensure I, like Cuba must, can depend on my own production of the energy I require to fuel my tools, my truck, and my home.

My neighbors will need this too, I must prepare to enable them to survive, or I will not survive. I live and thrive only insofar as I enable them to live and thrive, because I am not a hermit and grubbing for roots and berries.

Forewarned is forearmed. The Cuban people cannot depend on their enemies to be kinder and gentler. Begging your enemies to be merciful, whom demonstrably are merciless, cannot sustain Cuban civil society. Cubans must themselves do that, at whatever level of production is possible to them. Whatever institutions may, or may not do, the people of Cuba cannot depend on unborn, unfeeling, and undying institutions to feed their children, feel their pain, or enable them to live. The Cuban people must do that, as must Iranian people, and now American people. We are not the corporations that profit from our lives, the governments that pretend to have authority above us, or anything less than the sovereign people that ourselves merit our lives and prosperity.

These facts, whether inconvenient, illegal to discuss, or inimical to the power and false claims of authority over us, must be recognized by sovereign people in order that they shoulder the burden of their responsibility for their lives, for their beloved sons and daughters lives, and for their posterity that follows after us into a future that is fully able to be prosperous by the delivery of the industry, knowledge, and benevolence we have at hand.

My best wishes for your continued felicity and the good health of all you love.

Thanks!
