The original Mad Max script was co-written by journalist James McCausland, who said the story was inspired by the 1973 oil crisis and the civilian response to the phenomenon in Miller’s native Australia. Per McCausland, civilian motorists began hoarding oil for fear of a shortage, with access to oil trumping the importance of working together and maintaining social bonds. Mad Max may have been set in the future to explain its desolate settings, but the movie’s events were an exaggeration of then-recent history and a foreboding warning of what was still to come once peak oil was reached. Interestingly, the original Mad Max, its sequel The Road Warrior, and 2015’s follow-up Fury Road all predicted real-life reactions to the growing scarcity of oil and subsequent social response.
Mad Max Was About The Danger of Peak Oil
Set to be reached somewhere between 2021 and 2040 according to recent predictions, Peak Oil refers to the point in history where maximum oil extraction (and thus production) is finally reached. Scientists originally predicted that Peak Oil would occur before 2000, but the advent of controversial extraction practices like fracking stalled its arrival for some decades. However, the price of oil has nonetheless continued to climb globally as the supply steadily dwindles, and while Mad Max was also inspired by Miller’s time as an ER doctor, his co-writer McCausland’s contributions to the script centered around life in an imagined post-Peak Oil Australia.
Unfortunately, McCausland did not have to do too much prediction about how the country’s social response to an oil shortage would play out, since 1973’s then-recent OPEC crisis already provided evidence for that possibility. Per the screenwriter (writing for The Courier-Mail), “There were further signs of the desperate measures individuals would take to ensure mobility. A couple of oil strikes that hit many pumps revealed the ferocity with which Australians would defend their right to fill a tank. Long queues formed at the stations with petrol—and anyone who tried to sneak ahead in the queue met raw violence. … George and I wrote the [original Mad Max] script based on the thesis that people would do almost anything to keep vehicles moving and the assumption that nations would not consider the huge costs of providing infrastructure for alternative energy until it was too late.”
The Original Mad Max Shows The Danger Of Over-Consumption
The unforgettable villain Toecutter and his gang can take advantage of a societal collapse that is occurring due to fuel shortages in the first Mad Max movie, and Max proves powerless to stop the broader social breakdown (even though he can avenge his family). This is mirrored in the reality of oil shortages causing social unrest in the many countries where they have occurred, with law and order being shaky in the face of sanctions and a lack of reliable fuel supply lines often stretching the social fabric to breaking point. Without alternative energy sources, average citizens are forced to become as desperate as Max and Toecutter’s gang over time out of necessity, and while the first film shows only a handful of criminals acting as villainous thugs, the next installment in the franchise showed everyone reduced to marauding fuel scavengers.
The Road Warrior Shows A Post-Peak Oil Future
The story of The Road Warrior is centered on the reality of life after an apocalyptic oil shortage, with a tanker (ostensibly) full of the stuff driving the narrative. It is an effective distillation and exaggeration of the original Mad Max’s thesis that a future without alternative energy solutions will see people reduce their lives to the procurement of oil over keeping basic society afloat. The Road Warrior’s original twist, revealing that Max’s badly-burned original movie partner Goose is the unseen face beneath the main villain Lord Humungus’ mask, further reinforced this idea that the police, the army, and every other state institution would be reduced to barbarism unless alternative energy supplies were sourced before oil became unobtainable.
Fury Road Shows The Social/Political Cost Of Peak Oil
Beyond Thunderdome provided further post-apocalyptic sci-fi action for the Mad Max series, but it wouldn’t be until 2015’s critically-acclaimed Fury Road that the Mad Max franchise further explored the social and cultural results of worldwide fuel shortages and interruptions to supply chains. Immortan Joe and the War Boys are a critique of violent, misogynistic authoritarian groups, which sprang up in many major nations in the years since the movie’s release as fears of climate catastrophe loomed ever larger. Furthermore, their command of the Citadel’s water and fuel supply reinforces the franchise’s recurring idea that, in an environment defined by scarcity, the group controlling the supply of necessary fuel will begin inevitably controlling the population. Furiosa’s conflicted history as an Imperator proves that even decent people can become tools of violent, repressive systems when a society is built around constant drought, something that would be inevitable if Peak Oil was reached without alternative energy sources being sourced and mainstreamed beforehand.
What This Means For The Wasteland
As climate change rapidly worsens and attempts to establish an alternative, non-fossil fuel-based source of sustainable energy worldwide become more and more urgent, Miller’s Mad Max movies are more relevant than ever. The fact that the upcoming fifth installment The Wasteland is rumored to finally depict the apocalypse as it occurred in the Mad Max universe means viewers may finally see how the arrival of Peak Oil affects the fictional world in real-time, something that the many accurate predictions of the series thus far proves could be prescient for audiences in the near future.

The Democrat crime syndicate has seized power. Biden & Co. want more murders, rapes and child-smuggling, more savage Latino gangs and narco-poisoning. In short, more crime of every sort. Import ThirdWorlders en masse in order to expand the size of our slums so that Democrate overlords have more on which to blame White supremacy. Destroy White civilization, since that will give them more power.
Turn America into Sörös Open Society (i.e., borderless) country. Allow devastations of every sort and total abomination with impunity. Spray-paint every wall and sign with graffiti filth. And do it now, before the voters get a chance to hamper it in the 2022 election. The BigJew and the Yidbox have won.
Republicans make milquetoasty, meek and mild noises castigating the plunge into anarchy, while the Marxist Sörösites scream lies and perpetrate fraud of every type in the name of anti-racism. Even the Chinks can see that America is in decline (and maybe helping grease the skids). The country is being eviscerated with barely a peep out of corporate-bought Republicans, who are losing in corrupted elections.
After decades and countless trillions of dollars spent attempting to improve Negro IQ, the result has been an utter failure. The same can be expected of Sörös insane fantasy.

“Conventional crude oil production may have already peaked in 2008 at 69.5 million barrels per day (mb/d) according to Europe’s International Energy Agency (IEA 2018 p45). The U.S. Energy Information Agency shows global peak crude oil production at a later date in 2018 at 82.9 mb/d (EIA 2020) because they included tight oil, oil sands, and deep-sea oil. Though it will take several years of lower oil production to be sure the peak occurred. Regardless, world production has been on a plateau since 2005.”
I’m going with 2018 because it covers more.

“Going kinetic”
“Mad Max was a sparse, raw revenge thriller that saw a fresh-faced Mel Gibson star in the title role of Max Rockatansky, a police officer who attempts to maintain law and order as society crumbles around him.”
Australia’s most famous and likeable son Mel Gibson is wanted back home, to prevent a Chinese Mad Max scenario in his ancestral homeland:

Here Mel Gibson and brave Australians showing what the think of the Chinese:
https://cdn-men.aznude.com/melgibson/braveheart/Braveheart-gibson-hd-03-gigantic-4.jpg
Oh wait, that was Gibson and the Scots against the English.
Seriously, Australia is beginning to build its defenses against China:
They say General Findlay told his troops that, if the threat of conflict was realised, the ADF needed to rely not only on traditional air, land and sea capabilities but also on Australia’s ability to use cyber and space warfare.
He also highlighted the need for the ADF to reassert its presence and play “first grade” in south-east Asia and the south-west Pacific, describing how the military had uncovered information showing China was seeking to exploit “our [Australia’s] absence” in the region.
“We need to make sure we don’t lose momentum … get back in the region,” General Findlay said, highlighting Australia’s close ties to Indonesia.
The truth is, without the US, Australia doesn’t stand a chance against the Chinese army. And it is obvious that China has set its sights on Mao’s lonely continent and has begun a campaign to demonize Australia, which serves no other purpose than to prepare the ground for a take-over, as soon as the US shows signs of weaknesses… or descends into CW2.

Little clash in Scotland:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cniWIPgl5yI
Nicola Sturgeon is addressed by a Jayda Fransen, who leads “Britain First”.
Sturgeon calls Fransen a “racist” and “fascist”, which may be true, but it’s not entirely clear why that should be held against her.
Fransen has a suspiciously Dutch sounding name and that’s because from her father’s side she does indeed have Dutch ancestry… and Irish from her mother’s side. But what the hell, if the Germans tried to save themselves from communism with an Austrian, why not the English with a Dutch-Irish Hitlerette.
Which illustrates once again the absurdity of old-school nationalism, an ideology that sets us up against each other, enabling foreign predators to colonize us. A revival of nationalism, like with that Brexit prank, only ensures that in this century, rather than being colonized by US and USSR, we’re going to be colonized by the Chinese, can’t have that. White nationalism or Pan-Europeanism, world-wide is the only way forward, modelled after the Roman Empire, with some windmills and solar panels sprinkled in for good measure.

War France-Britain!
200 years after the death of Napoleon, who may have been a bad guy, but without whom history books would have been a lot duller, there is an artificial war going on around the Channel Island of Jersey, about fishing between France and Britain. The French, who are the world’s #1 protestors, were entirely right in protesting against a UK violation of the EU-UK deal, by not giving the French a license to fish, as was agreed upon. After French very visual protests with trawlers, the UK sent some patrol boats, which in the Brexit media were sold as gun ships and neatly handed over the Tories an extra election boost:

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-interactive/2021/may/06/2021-elections-results-may-local-scottish-welsh-polls
Massive defeat Labour, greatly strengthening BoJo. With the to be expected massive economic growth everywhere (EU and UK), bouncing back from Covid, which in the UK will be sold as caused by Brexit, for the moment BoJo is sitting on roses (without thorns). But not for long (think 2 years).
Meanwhile in Scotland they are counting the votes. While everybody is hyping the importance of the SNP gaining an absolute majority or not, it is not that important. What IS important is that it is certain that the left-nationalist cause will win and that the Scottish government will be firmly into the hands of the nationalists, who will use government and the (less than stellar) results coming in from Brexit of the coming 2 years, to engage in a permanent campaign for Scottish independence and will call a referendum on a for them opportune moment. Which BoJo will refuse and potentially a major conflict could erupt, including the possibility of the English military occupying Scotland à la Northern Ireland, IRA-scenes, bomb attacks, European freelancers warriors coming to the aid of the fellow European Scots… endless material for drama, we won’t be bored, that’s for sure.

“Dominic Raab (UK) and Antony Blinken (US) call for defence of open societies and rules-based order”
Raab and Blinken, two foreign policy Jews, want to set up ZOG-West against Russia and China, in a last, desperate attempt to achieve Planet Zion after all, what could possibly go wrong?
Nevertheless, don’t call victory too early. Decisive will the outcome of the German elections, where all the media attempt to write the war-mongering Greens to power, at the cost of the Christian-Democrats, led by a Armin Laschet, who is sympathetic to Putin, causing the media to be in a state of alarm:

In Scotland this vote was about independence (or against it) and nothing else. Expect the SNP to own the government again and use that government for a permanent independence campaign, strongly helped by the incoming steady stream of bad post-Brexit news, although this will be postponed with a year or so, if the economy rebounds globally from Covid.

She will govern with the extreme right VOX party.
The political right is winning everywhere in Europe. The US promoted Open Society doesn’t stand a chance in here. Real change is coming.
Envelop calculation:
White race = Euros + Anglos
Euros 640 million (EU + Russia + Ukraine + Belarus)
Anglos 330 + 60 + 38 + 26 + 5 = 460 million
Anglos carried the victory in 1945 over the Euros, because they teamed up with the Soviets, both Anglos and Soviets fighting for kosher interests.
But now is 2021. Russia is no longer under kosher control and seeks unification with Europe.
Anglos may have 460 million, but subtract at least 170 million non-whites (at the throat of the whites), leaving 290 million Anglo whites.
And then there is China, that sees itself surrounded by Anglo navies, a blockade it tries to break.
Euros have a large trade surplus, Anglos the largest deficit in the world.
Euros have a world-class renewable energy program, Anglos (minus UK) don’t believe in renewable energy.
Anglos have suffered an endless array of defeats: Vietnam, Beirut, Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan, Syria.
The Trump presidency was a major breach with the globalist objectives of the US deep state.
Brexit is a nice monkey wrench, thrown into the gears of the US empire.
