The Summer Solstice (in the Northern Hemispher where I am writing from, Winter Solstice for you Diners on the other side of the Equator in Oz, South America, Africa, and a few other dots of land mass down under) has brought with it a healthy Dose of Doom as our path to Industrial Civilization Collapse accelerates.

It was tough to select out a few choice morsels for consumption today, I left out many calamitous events that occured this week. How much Doom can you squeeze into a 20 min Newz Briefing anyhow?
The doom events of the week were both local and international, and they steadily escalate in intensity as well as frequency much like the severe weather outbreaks we continue to experience across Flyover Country, where the latest, greatest severe weather to further destroy industrial civilization is the “Derecho“. See picture below from Wikipedia. The NWS keeps pitchout new terminology which Collapse Journalists like myself has to learn. Personally, I liked Haboobs and Bombogenesis better than Derechos. Really BIG Haboobs! lol.

Anyhow, I didn’t get to the Derecho that blew across 1000 miles from Nebraska to South Carolina and everything in between, it was rather late breaking in the week and I already had too much stuff to cover.
What I did cover in this week’s rant was first off the explosion of the refinery in Philadelphia, which was absolutely spectacular as explosions go. The largest refinery on the East Coast, it supplies roughly 1/4 of the gasoline to that neighborhood of the country. Said refinery also is in financial difficulty. Interesting coinkidink, no? Oil Prices of course responded accordingly.
Then we sail the Good Ship Doomstead Diner across the Pacific over to Hong Kong, where currently they are fielding Street Demonstrations with the Boys in Black Pajamas numbering into the 7 Digits. Said demonstrators are a very well prepared bunch, complete with Goggles and Masks to protect against the Tear Gas and Gloves to grab the cannisters and throw them back at the Gestapo. I think a vast improvemnt on that would be to carry a Celesta, which is the Basket Scoop used to play the sport of Jai-Lai.

Moving back across the pond to the FSoA, the Political Gaffes, Backtracking and lifelong Pussy-Grabbing of the Clown-in-Chief Donalditry Trumpovetsky is covered in reasonable detail, although it’s impossible to do justice to this stuff. The real life action is so funny you can’t improve on it. lol.
So, all in all Solstice Celebration Week here on the Diner had a vast cornucopia of Doom to consume at our Feast, along with the fabulous food. Full recipes for all those great dishes will be available on the Cooking Zone of the CollapseCafe.com YouTube Channel, as soon as I get them edited up, which who knows when that will be since I am backed up to beat the band with vids to edit. But they’ll come eventually. Meanwhile, I’ll drop some snippets on Inside the Diner, so you can find them there too.
…And that’s all the Doom, this time until next time, here at the Doomstead Diner.
