We live in a world where words are very carefully chosen. Companies hire public relations firms to give just the right “spin” to what they are saying. Politicians make statements which suggest that everything is going well. Newspapers would like their advertisers to be happy; they certainly won’t suggest that the automobile you purchase today may be of no use to you in five years.
I believe that what has happened in recent years is that the “truth” has become very dark. We live in a finite world; we are rapidly approaching limits of many kinds. For example, there is not enough fresh water for everyone, including agriculture and businesses. This inadequate water supply is now tipping over into inadequate food supply in quite a few places because irrigation requires fresh water. This problem is, in a sense, an energy problem, because adding more irrigation requires more energy supplies used for digging deeper wells or making desalination plants. We are reaching energy scarcity issues not too different from those of World War I, World War II and the Depression Era between the wars.
We now live in a strange world filled with half-truths, not too different from the world of the 1930s. US newspapers leave out the many stories that could be written about rising food insecurity around the world, and even in the US. We see more reports of conflicts among countries and increasing gaps between the rich and the poor, but no one explains that such changes are to be expected when energy consumption per capita starts falling too low.
The majority of people seem to believe that all of these problems can be fixed simply by increasingly taxing the rich and using the proceeds to help the poor. They also believe that the biggest problem we are facing is climate change. Very few are even aware of the food scarcity problems occurring in many parts of the world already.
Our political leaders started down the wrong path long ago, when they chose to rely on economists rather than physicists. The economists created the fiction that the economy could expand endlessly, even with falling energy supplies. The physicists understood that the economy requires energy for growth, but didn’t really understand the financial system, so they weren’t in a position to explain which parts of economic theory were incorrect. Even as the true story becomes increasingly clear, politicians stick to their belief that our only energy problem is the possibility of using too much fossil fuel, with the result of rising world temperatures and disrupted weather patterns. This can be interpreted as a relatively distant problem that can be corrected over a fairly long future period.
In this post, I will explain why it appears to me that, right now, we are dealing with an energy problem as severe as that which seems to have led to World War I, World War II, and the Great Depression. We really need a solution to our energy problems right now, not in the year 2050 or 2100. Scientists modeled the wrong problem: a fairly distant energy problem which would be associated with high energy prices. The real issue is a very close-at-hand energy shortage problem, associated with relatively low energy prices. It should not be surprising that the solutions scientists have found are mostly absurd, given the true nature of the problem we are facing.
[1] There is a great deal of confusion with respect to which energy problem we are dealing with. Are we dealing with a near-at-hand problem featuring inadequate prices for producers or a more distant problem featuring high prices for consumers? It makes a huge difference in finding a solution, if any.
Business leaders would like us to believe that the problem to be concerned with is a fairly distant one: climate change. In fact, this is the problem most scientists are working on. There is a common misbelief that fossil fuel prices will jump to high levels if they are in short supply. These high prices will allow the extraction of a huge amount of coal, oil and natural gas from the ground. The rising prices will also allow high-priced alternatives to become competitive. Thus, it makes sense to start down the long road of trying to substitute “renewables” for fossil fuels.
If business leaders had stopped to look at the history of coal depletion, they would have discovered that expecting high prices when energy limits are encountered is incorrect. The issue that really happens is a wage problem: too many workers discover that their wages are too low. Indirectly, these low-wage workers need to cut back on purchases of goods of many types, including coal to heat workers’ homes. This loss of purchasing power tends to hold coal prices down to a level that is too low for producers. We can see this situation if we look at the historical problems with coal depletion in the UK and in Germany.
Coal played an outsized role in the time leading up to, and including, World War II.
History shows that as early coal mines became depleted, the number of hours of labor required to extract a given amount of coal tended to rise significantly. This happened because deeper mines were needed, or mines were needed in areas where there were only thin coal seams. The problem owners of mines experienced was that coal prices did not rise enough to cover their higher labor costs, related to depletion. The issue was really that prices fell too low for coal producers.
Owners of mines found that they needed to cut the wages of miners. This led to strikes and lower coal production. Indirectly, other coal-using industries, such as iron production and bread baking, were adversely affected, leading these industries to cut jobs and wages, as well. In a sense, the big issue was growing wage disparity, because many higher-wage workers and property owners were not affected.
Today, the issue we see is very similar, especially when we look at wages worldwide, because markets are now worldwide. Many workers around the world have very low wages, or no wages at all. As a result, the number of workers worldwide who can afford to purchase goods that require large amounts of oil and coal products for their manufacture and operation, such as vehicles, tends to fall. For example, peak sales of private passenger automobile, worldwide, occurred in 2017. With fewer auto sales (as well as fewer sales of other high-priced goods), it is difficult to keep oil and coal prices high enough for producers. This is very similar to the problems of the 1914 to 1945 era.
Everything that I can see indicates that we are now reaching a time that is parallel to the period between 1914 and 1945. Conflict is one of the major things that a person would expect because each country wants to protect its jobs. Each country also wants to add new jobs that pay well.
In a period parallel to the 1914 to 1945 period, we can also expect pandemics. This happens because the many poor people often cannot afford adequate diets, making them more susceptible to diseases that are easily transmitted. In the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918-1919, more than 50 million people worldwide died. The equivalent number with today’s world population would be about 260 million. This hugely dwarfs the 3.2 million COVID-19 deaths around the world that we have experienced to date.
[2] If we look at growth in energy supply, relative to the growth in population, precisely the same type of “squeeze” is occurring now as was occurring in the 1914 to 1945 period. This squeeze particularly affects coal and oil supplies.
The chart above is somewhat complex. It looks at how quickly energy consumption has been growing historically, over ten-year periods (sum of red and blue areas). This amount is divided into two parts. The blue area shows how much of this growth in energy consumption was required to provide food, housing and transportation to the growing world population, based on the standards at that time. The red area shows how much growth in energy consumption was “left over” for growth in the standard of living, such as better roads, more vehicles, and nicer homes. Note that GDP growth is not shown in the chart. It likely corresponds fairly closely to total energy consumption growth.
Figure 3, below, shows energy consumption by type of fuel between 1820 and 2010. From this, it is clear that the world’s energy consumption was tiny back in 1820, when most of the world’s energy came from burned biomass. Even at that time, there was a huge problem with deforestation.
Clearly, the addition of coal, starting shortly after 1820, allowed huge changes in the world economy. But by 1910, this growth in coal consumption was flattening out, leading quite possibly to the problems of the 1914-1945 era. The growth in oil consumption after World War II allowed the world economy to recover. Natural gas, hydroelectric and nuclear have been added in recent years, as well, but the amounts have been less significant than those of coal and oil.
We can see how coal and oil have dominated growth in energy supplies in other ways, as well. This is a chart of energy supplies, with a projection of expected energy supplies through 2021 based on estimates of the IEA’s Global Energy Review 2021.
Oil supplies became a problem in the 1970s. There was briefly a dip in the demand for oil supplies as the world switched from burning oil to the use of other fuels in applications where this could easily be done, such as producing electricity and heating homes. Also, private passenger automobiles became smaller and more fuel efficient. There has been a continued push for fuel efficiency since then. In 2020, oil consumption was greatly affected by the reduction in personal travel associated with the COVID-19 epidemic.
Figure 4, above, shows that world coal consumption has been close to flat since about 2012. This is also evident in Figure 5, below.
Figure 5 shows that coal production for the United States and Europe has been declining for a very long time, since about 1988. Before China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001, its coal production grew at a moderate pace. After joining the WTO in 2001, China’s coal production grew very rapidly for about 10 years. In about 2011, China’s coal production leveled off, leading to the leveling of world coal production.
Figure 6 shows that recently, growth in the sum of oil and coal consumption has been lagging total energy consumption.
We can see from Figure 6 that the only recent time when oil and coal supplies grew faster than energy consumption in total was during a brief period between 2002 and 2007. More recently, oil and coal consumption has been increasingly lagging total energy consumption. For both coal and oil, the problem has been that low prices for producers cause producers to voluntarily drop out of coal or oil production. The reason for this is two-fold: (1) With less oil (or coal) production, perhaps prices might rise, making production more profitable, and (2) Unprofitable oil (or coal) production isn’t really satisfactory for producers.
When determining the required level of profitability for these fuels, there is a need to include the tax revenue that governments require in order to maintain adequate services. This is especially the case with oil exporters, but it is also true in general. Energy products, to be useful, produce an energy surplus that can be used to benefit the rest of the economy. The way that this energy surplus can be transferred to the rest of the economy is by paying relatively high taxes. These taxes allow changes that aid economic growth, such as improvements in roads and schools.
If energy prices are chronically too low (so that an energy product requires a subsidy, rather than paying taxes), this is a sign that the energy product is most likely an energy “sink.” Such a product acts in the direction of pulling the economy down through ever-lower productivity.
[3] Governments have chosen to focus on preventing climate change because, in theory, the changes that are needed to prevent climate change seem to be the same ones needed to cover the contingency of “running out.” The catch is that the indicated changes don’t really work in the scarcity situation we are already facing.
It turns out that the very fuels that we seem to be running out of (coal and oil) are the very ones most associated with high carbon dioxide emissions. Thus, focusing on climate change seems to please everyone. Those who were concerned that we could keep extracting fossil fuels for hundreds of years and, because of this, completely ruin the climate, would be happy. Those who were concerned about running out of fossil fuels would be happy, as well. This is precisely the kind of solution that politicians prefer.
The catch is that we used coal and oil first because, in a very real sense, they are the “best” fuels for our needs. All of the other fuels, even natural gas, are in many senses inferior. Natural gas has the problem that it is very expensive to transport and store. Also, methane, which makes up the majority of natural gas, is itself a gas that contributes to global warming. It tends to leak from pipelines and from ships attempting to transport it. Thus, it is doubtful that it is much better from a global warming perspective than coal or oil.
So-called renewable fuels tend to be very damaging to the environment in ways other than CO2 emissions. This point is made very well in the new book Bright Green Lies by Derrick Jensen, Lierre Keith and Max Wilbert. It makes the point that renewable fuels are not an attempt to save the environment. Instead, they are trying to save our current industrial civilization using approaches that tend to destroy the environment. Cutting down forests, even if new trees are planted in their place, is especially detrimental. Alice Friedemann, in her new book, Life after Fossil Fuels: A Reality Check on Alternative Fuels, points out the high cost of these alternatives and their dependence on fossil fuel energy.
We are right now in a huge scarcity situation which is starting to cause conflicts of many kinds. Even if there were a way of producing these types of alternative energy cheaply enough, they are coming far too late and in far too small quantities to make a difference. They also don’t match up with our current coal and oil uses, adding a layer of time and expense for conversion that needs to be included in any model.
[4] What we really have is a huge conflict problem due to inadequate energy supplies for today’s world population. The powers that be are trying to hide this problem by publishing only their preferred version of the truth.
The situation that we are really facing is one that often goes under the name of “collapse.” It is a problem that many civilizations have faced in the past when a given population has outgrown its resource base.
Needless to say, the issue of collapse is not a story any politician wants to tell its citizens. Instead, we are told over and over, “Everything is fine. Any energy problem will be handled by the solutions scientists are finding.” The catch is that scientists were not told the correct problem to solve. They were told about a distant problem. To make the problem easier to solve, high prices and subsidies seemed to be acceptable. The problem they were asked to solve is very different from our real energy problem today.
Many people think that taxing the rich and giving the proceeds to the poor can solve our problem, but this doesn’t really solve the problem for a couple of reasons. One of the issues is that our scarcity issue is really a worldwide problem. Higher taxation of the rich in a few rich countries does nothing for the many problems of poor people in countries such as Lebanon, Yemen, Venezuela and India. Furthermore, taking money from the rich doesn’t really fix scarcity problems. Rich people don’t really eat a vastly disproportionate amount of food or drink more water, for example.
A detail that most of us don’t think about is that the military of many different countries has been very much aware of the potential conflict situation that is now occurring. They are aware that a “hot war” would require huge use of fossil fuel energy, so they have been trying to find alternative approaches. One approach military groups have been working on is the use of bioweapons of various kinds. In fact, some groups might even contemplate starting a pandemic. Another approach that might be used is computer viruses to disrupt the systems of other countries.
Needless to say, the powers that be do not want the general population to hear about issues of these kinds. We find ourselves with narrower and narrower news reports that provide only the version of the truth that politicians and news media want us to read. Citizens who have developed the view, “All I need to do to find out the truth is read my home town newspaper,” are likely to encounter more and more surprises, as conflict situations escalate.
Chip Shortage Forcing Farmers to Plan Ahead
The biggest factor impacting the ability of U.S. farmers to produce the food we need has nothing to do with the weather, the markets, trade, regulations, or disease. The worldwide shortage of computer chips will impact all aspects of agriculture for the next two years and beyond. Almost every piece of farm equipment, like most everything else in our lives, needs a computer chips to operate. Due in part to the Covid 19 Pandemic, there is a massive worldwide shortage of chips; and the industry is unable to meet the skyrocketing demand. Industry sources say the current shortage will not be resolved until sometime in 2022.
Meanwhile, farm equipment manufacturers have halted shipments to dealers because they don’t have the chips to put in the equipment. Reynolds Farm Equipment, one of Indiana’s largest John Deere dealers, says they are unsure about when thy will receive the new equipment that is on order. Bane Welker Equipment, which handles Case and several other brands at their dealerships in IN and OH, are urging customers to plan ahead. They indicated that not only have combine, planter, tillage, and tractor sales been impacted, but even ATV supplies are limited. Parts, even non-electric parts, are also in short supply because the manufacturers of those parts use the chips in the manufacturing process. As farmers integrate technology into all aspects of the farming process, these highly sophisticated semi-conductors have become the backbone of almost every farming operation.
https://hoosieragtoday.com/commentary-chip-shortage-forcing-farmers-to-plan-ahead/
The whole Great Re-set – the digitisation of everything – is based on readily available chips…… oops!
I see that up close, one has to wonder how long a $.5M planter will last with all the hydraulics, air, and electronics being literally dragged through the dirt and dust. It is incredible to see planting done within less than 1 inch of previous tillage and fertilizing over large fields, but in front of the planter is a $.5M plus tractor.
This stuff is not easy to maintain.
There is nothing on dealer’s lots, empty.
Dennis L.
Oxen, horses and ploughmen could put up with any amount of dirt and dust.
Great care had to be taken of the animals, not so much of the men – and all reproduced to provide their replacements.
The ploughs themselves were made mostly of renewable local materials, with very little iron needed.
Local repairs were easy enough.
Modern complex machinery is just a short life-span rubbish heap waiting to happen. Like Hitler’s tanks when the fuel and ammo ran out.
It is hard to maintain the green revolution if the machinery needed for farming cannot be purchased. Breakdowns will become a disaster for the production of grain and other crops.

Matt Hancock, the UK Health Minister, and Covid Jester-In-Chief, certainly gave the whole game away there, I’d agree.
Does he look like a sincere man leading the fight against a terrifying threat, desperately pleased to see that poor old man saved from a horrible end?
He looks like one of the parents from Sandy Hook—Robbie Parker. If those tears were sincere, then Matt Hancock is not the kind of person who should be leading this fight. We need people with stiff upper lips. The average traditional hospital matron would do a far better job.
Arnie has some wise words for him.
Matt Hancock is not crying, he is laughing. He clearly cannot believe he and the govt are getting away with such tripe, and briefly lost control.
Funny how this went on for years but nobody leaked it…

That every person (even people I know) who has taken the Covid jab…. at some point … gets very sick… then dies….

That those who refused to take the jab would be rewarded with private jet travel… a home of their choice in every country around the world … and an annual expense account of 20M $$$…. inflation adjusted each year. As a bonus … let’s throw in immortality
Unfortunately, we really don’t know 100% that we are correct. It may be that the two strategies are approximately equivalent. We need to know a great deal more. Dr. Fleming may be right about the virus being lab made, but exactly what happens in the future is not for us to know. We can think we know, but it may be that we are overlooking part of the way the overall system works. The effect of the injection may dissipate quite quickly, for example. Or those who are unvaccinated may “catch” something from the vaccinated.
Quite so, Gail.
We must juggle hypotheses, reserve judgment, and observe……
Unfortunately ‘shorting’ the vaccination by refusing to be vaccinated is very unlikely to generate any sort of return (assuming the vaccination is a sinister plot – and how can it now be when they are vaccinating children… babies even… as well as people who have recovered from covid)….
In fact, refusing the vaccination might result in one surviving the Extermination … and having to suffer through starvation – violence – rape – cannibalism — and for those that survive all of that — death by radiation sickness….
We had to know that Peak Oil would not be allowed to pass … without some sort of intervention.
Surely that was obvious all along?

Worse Than the Disease? Reviewing Some Possible Unintended Consequences of the mRNA Vaccines Against COVID”
https://ijvtpr.com/index.php/IJVTPR/article/view/23/34
This link was posted recently. It is written by two people who do not seem to have credentials as medical doctors. The journal is only two years old. It is an article for “preaching to believers.” It is not likely to be read by those who are at all skeptical.
Hmm… i dont recall posting that… or reading it… hijacker?
Perhaps someone else posted it. It is not a bad article, but I had hoped for better credentials of the folks writing it, and perhaps placement in a journal of longer standing. I noticed that the journal has a Creative Commons “Share and Share Alike” license like OurFiniteWorld.com.
And now for the good news
PRINCESS Michael of Kent is unwell with blood clots after having two Covid jabs — although no link has been established.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/14968095/princess-michael-of-kent-blood-clots-two-covid-jabs/
I feel sorry indeed for any low-pay worker who has been forced into being jabbed by their employer, or the uneducated and naively trusting who cannot imagine that the medical authorities would betray them and authorise a dangerous ‘vaccine’.
But, at this stage, any well-off, educated, person with the leisure to investigate the matter more or less deserves whatever happens to them.
Despite the censorship, the necessary info is still out there – and basic reasoning suggests the folly of taking these treatments without full, extended trials.
Even governments are having to admit the clot problem while minimising it; and that they cooked the books last year in tallying up ‘Covid’ deaths.
There is no excuse not to smell a rat.
When I read about Royals having taken the covid shots I get confused. The elite must be a very exclusive club if the Royals aren’t in it and, if they are in it, why are they taking the shots?
At first I thought they were just vitamin B injections. but after the Duke of Edinburgh died, I put that down to the knock on effects of the shot.
But it’s not just the Royals, I’ve seen Elton John, Michael Cain, and Arnold Schwarzenegger all touting the jab in public service ads. In Arnie’s case, he says, “Come with me and live!” If I had his attention, I would tell him, “Arnie, you were good in Conan, but these days you’re just a ridiculous girly man!”
Arnie showed his true colour: yellow.
Muscle men are rather gay, are they not?
Ferocious axe wielders like us,Tim,are lean and hard: ‘Tough as leather, hard as steel, and as fast as a rat’ – as old Adolf truly said…..
Xabier, right an all. People tend to have an image of us being broad muscular and wearing a balaclava-like mask like the executioner who sent Sir Thomas More on his way. But the truth is a lot more prosaic.
I have wielded an axe for thirty years, and it is a very pleasant pass time in the cold weather. And like you, I sometimes imagine somebody’s head is on the block. 🙂 But this year I seriously overdid it. I’ve been in agony for the past month with swollen neck muscles and headaches. I’m just about over it now, but I’ll be cutting back on the chopping from next year.
What I’ve learned is that there are only two kinds of logs: those that split easily with a pleasant sound, and those that refuse to cleave and send the energy of the blow back up the axe and into the arms and shoulders of the axe wielder. From now on, I’m planning to leave the latter to the chopping machine, at least while BAU lasts.
not a good idea to let Mrs T have a go
“after the Duke of Edinburgh died, I put that down to the knock on effects of the shot.”
Eh? The DoE had been looking like a walking corpse for YEARS! Probably it was all that blood of virgins that he’d been drinking.
We may conclude that some royals are expendable? Minor ones are two a penny, really.
I also thought that the Royals would be the last people to get blood clots. Doesn’t hemophilia RUN rampant in that family?
I do hope she recovers. Back in the sixties, the Kents came over to our school to give away prizes. I got a science one picture book about how we were going to go to the moon and beyond. So the Duchess and I go back a long way.
Jokes aside, I too hope she recovers and……becomes a prominent Anti-Vaxxer. That would be perfect.
Viruses can enter through the eyes… so even if a mask helped … what about the eyes?

Have a read through Bossche https://www.geertvandenbossche.org/post/predictions-on-outcome-of-mass-vaccination-during-a-pandemic-of-more-infectious-sars-2-cov-variants
Doesn’t matter if everyone gets vaccinated…. but the goal is to get as many done as quickly as possible — EVEN THOUGH THE VACCINES DOES NOT PREVENT THE SPREAD OF COVID….
Therefore …. one has to assume there is another reason for this rush to vaccinate… I think Bossche will be proved right at some point.
As increasing vaccination rates will result in a gradually expanding reservoir of asymptomatic viral spreaders, the benefit of reduced disease and hence, viral shedding in vaccinated elderly (or otherwise vulnerable subjects) will be countered by enhanced spread and breeding of more infectious variants in less vulnerable, asymptomatic subjects. The higher the vaccination rate, the more the latter effect will outweigh the benefit of vaccine-mediated reduction of immune pressure exerted by the vulnerable part of the population.
The higher the vaccination rate, the more vaccinees will serve as asymptomatic carriers and hence, the faster the S-directed immune pressure will shift to the RBD (1) of the virus, thereby resulting in more efficient reproduction of vaccine-resistant immune escape variants.
At this stage, full- blown lockdowns may have to be imposed as a last resort.
It is reasonable to postulate that for any given population, the time of occurrence as well as the height and breadth of this wave will primarily depend on the rate and speed of the mass vaccination campaign and – to a lesser extent – the level of infection prevention.
Based upon the above reasoning, it goes without saying that especially enrolment of youngsters in mass vaccination programs will expedite propagation and dominance of more infectious variants, including such that are vaccine-resistant.

Overall conclusion:
Covid-19 vaccination campaigns that are rolled out in the heat of a pandemic will inevitably breed variants that are more infectious and ultimately become resistant to vaccines. The smaller the population and the faster mass vaccination campaigns are rolled out, the faster infection, morbidity and mortality rates will rise. Based on how the pandemic is currently evolving in a number of smaller countries/ islands (e.g., Seychelles, Maldives, Bahrain), it is reasonable to assume that over the next coming months, or weeks, several other countries are going to show a dramatic increase in these rates as well.
First you say the vaccine kills directly. Now, as the mass die-off you predicted fails to materialize, you say the vaccine spreads the virus. The very same virus you said was a hoax. Nice trolling.
He’s merely quoting Vanden Bossche here. Please try to pay attention.
PS. The vaccine does kill directly. On the US Government’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) there were 4,434 reports of death from Covid-19 vaccines through May 10. But that doesn’t mean all these deaths are attributable to the vaccines. Obviously somebody who was going to die of a heart attack anyway but took the vaccine and then died did not die of the vaccine. It was just a coincidence. But many of the deaths reported were unambiguously the result of the jabs.
However, even more troubling, most adverse events including deaths are not reported to the system. By some estimates it catches only 1% of the total. Also, people who have experienced adverse events and tried to report them are on record as having experienced VAERS “bouncing” their applications, and doctors are on record as saying the same.
So the VAERS system is not a very effective means of recording vaccine deaths and injuries, but a mere indicator of what the scale and breadth of the problems might be. As for what’s actually happening to the vaccinated, neither governments nor pharmaceutical companies are monitoring that in a comprehensive fashion. And that should alarm any reasonable person.
According to various new sites, to date about 1.34 Billion vaccine doses have been administered. Widespread adverse effects would be impossible to hide. Even by our gifted elders.
Now, I hasten to add that eventually everyone vaccinated will die – no exceptions. So there’s that.
As for your “merely quoting” comment – I’m sure you can do better.
I’m sure you can too.
I don’t think he can, actually. I reckon being an annoying anon is just about all he’s good for.
Case history:Cambodia
First Covid-19 vaccinations: Feb. 10, 2021
First Covid-19 death: March 22, 2021
Total Covid-19 vax doses to date: 2,082,202
Total Covid-19 deaths to date: 154
Everyone, pick a country, do your own research and share it with us. Because every country is epidemiologically unique, which makes tracking of patterns and effects of diseases fun!
>>Widespread adverse effects would be impossible to hide.
I am not sure about that. That figure of 4,434 reports of death from Covid-19 vaccines quoted by Tim, I am guessing there are more than 10 times that amount of non-fatal side affects, and some of them are pretty nasty, we have seen people with uncontrollable shaking (in the USA, mRNA jabs) and the health system is not interested in helping them.
If you are looking for evidence of widespread adverse effects in the MSM you will not find it because they don’t report on such matters. Quite possible that adverse effects are widespread, but no-one is collecting the data. If anything, the MSM is repeating the message jabs are safe, all is well.
I just had a look at Eudravigilance database for Europe, more than 11,000 deaths have been reported so far.
5757 from Pfizer
3158 from Moderna
2106 from AstraZeneca (which gets all MSM attention as the”possible” troublemaker).
I say nothing … expert vaccine maker Bossche says… Mike Yeadon former scientist respiratory Pfizer… Byram Bridle viologist university of Guelph says…. may others say…. but they are afraid to go public because they lose their careers.
Let’s repost this … and dedicate it to the CovIDIOTS:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/qlnmKcLYmvKM/
Why a 100% vaccination plan?
It’s not a medical imperative at all, but about large-scale financial and social engineering, just as almost useless masks and distancing were about de-humanising, dominating and dividing us.
‘Vaccines’ lead to ‘vaccine passports’, which lead in turn to Digital ID, CBDG’s, ESG social credit and resource rationing – all these need 100% take-up.
This in turn enables data harvesting for general AI (leading to the ‘Singularity’, which they do believe in); and the impact investment bond market and Techno-Totalitarian state of course require 100% participation.
And, in their view, only a society and economy structured on this new model can possibly compete with China for remaining world resources to further tech innovation, and any possible expansion beyond the Earth..
Depopulation would be another reason – almost certainly secret mass sterilisation, if nothing more immediately brutal.
Oh my goodness me, the Tories are continuing with a ‘have a mouth off and do what you like’ approach to geopolitics, over the NI Protocol.
That approach, in the waters around Jersey earlier in the month, led to all Jersey fishermen getting banned from French ports – and it is not much use having more fish if you can sell none.
EU has made it clear that it fully expects Tories to entirely abide by the Brexit agreement to which it signed up, and that any violations will be punished through EU mechanisms to which it also agreed.
TP is headed for sanctions on UK exports to the EU over NIP – on goods exports, services (80% of UK economy) were excluded from EU access, along with financial services in the ‘oven ready’ Boris deal.
It is difficult to see what the TP hopes to gain from this lark – and the conclusion seems to be that it has not got a clue what it is trying to do, or how geopolitics work. This is frankly embarrassing.
> Boris Johnson’s Brexit trade deal risking political stability in Northern Ireland, says minister
…. Despite the EU making clear throughout negotiations that maintaining the integrity of the single market was a red line for Brussels, Lord Frost accused the 27-nation bloc of taking an unnecessarily “purist” approach to maintaining the customs border in the Irish Sea created by Mr Johnson’s deal.
European Commission negotiators have offered to drop checks on food products travelling from the mainland to Northern Ireland if the UK aligns itself with EU plant, animal health, environment and food safety rules.
But Lord Frost has resisted this gambit, which would tie the UK’s hands in trade negotiations with countries like the US. Instead, he said today that it was for the EU to “stop point-scoring” and “find a new approach and new solutions” to resolve the situation.
Article 16 of the Northern Ireland Protocol allows either the UK or EU to withdraw from provisions in the agreement if they threaten serious and lasting “economic, societal or environmental difficulties” in the province.
And Lord Frost left no doubt that the government is considering activating the article – which would allow Brussels to respond with “rebalancing” measures, which could include tariffs on UK exports….

USA faces isolation at UN over Israel. That is particularly embarrassing for USA as it is trying to rally a faction within the UN against China.
> Isolated Biden in bid to forge UN consensus on conflict
The UN security council will meet in open session on Sunday to attempt to salvage a common position on the new conflict between Israel and Hamas after a week in which the US has faced isolation in its efforts to defend its Israeli ally.
The US mission has blocked a consensus council statement and took advantage of special rules in force during the Covid pandemic to put off the open meeting. Other council members wanted the session on Friday. The Americans had proposed Tuesday but were ultimately pressured into accepting a weekend meeting.
Overall, the UN has come out of the week looking sluggish and hamstrung while people were dying in Gaza and Israel. At the same time the Biden administration has lost a substantial amount of goodwill as its promises to put multilateralism and human rights at the centre of its foreign policy were perceived – by rivals and allies alike – as having substantial loopholes when it came to Israel.
“We hope that the US in the security council will live up to Biden’s pledge that ‘multilateralism is back’, and that they will agree to a joint statement,” a UN diplomat said after a week of frustration. “But so far the council is silent despite bombs and rockets killing innocent civilians.”
The US alone blocked a council statement on the worsening situation in the region at closed-door meetings in New York last Monday and Wednesday, and it was alone again when it opposed holding an open session on Friday, as proposed by Norway, Tunisia and China.
Preventing a meeting was an unusual step which in more normal circumstances would be put to a procedural vote – one that the US would almost certainly have lost. Virtual sessions during the Covid pandemic, however, have to be agreed by consensus.
The security council statement proposed at the beginning of the week was a call for de-escalation and an end to acts of provocation. It also included an expression of “serious concern” over evictions of Palestinian families in East Jerusalem, pointing out many of them had lived there for generations.
As the pressure built on the US as the week progressed, Turkey and some Arab members began pushing for a UN general assembly meeting where the US would not have a veto and would be able to muster only a handful of votes among the 193 members.
According to diplomats at the UN, the US mission, led by ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, had been in favour of a security council statement but had been overruled by Washington. However, the prospect of a demonstration of US isolation at the general assembly, on a scale reminiscent of the Trump era, helped bring the White House and state department around to accepting an open meeting.
“They were advising Washington that if they don’t have this meeting on Sunday, if you block too hard and say no to everything, it will go to the general assembly, and the numbers there are not good,” one UN diplomat said.
Steadfast support for Israel has been a consistent US policy at the UN through Democratic and Republican administrations. The Obama administration’s decision to abstain in a vote condemning Israeli settlement-building in its last weeks in office is now seen as an anomaly and not a direction Biden seems likely to follow….

China is leading calls for the UN to take a leading role in a proper solution for Palestine, which maximises USA embarrassment. USA has forfeited all credibility on ‘human rights’ over that issue, which completely undermines its ability to take the ‘moral’ high ground against China, its emerging economic and geopolitical competitor.
> US on opposite side of international justice over Palestinian-Israeli conflict: Chinese FM
…. First, Wang said, the root cause of the deterioration of the situation is that for a long time there has not been a just solution to the Palestinian issue.
Especially, in recent years, the Middle East peace process has deviated from its original track, the UN Security Council resolutions have not been earnestly implemented and, in particular, the Palestinian right to build an independent state has been continuously violated, adding to the plight of the Palestinian people, which has led to the intensification of the Palestinian-Israeli confrontation and repeated conflicts, Wang said.
As has been proven, Wang noted, without a just settlement of the Palestinian issue, Palestine and Israel as well as the Middle East will not be able to achieve true peace.
Second, Wang said, what is pressing now is the ceasefire and cessation of violence, and the Security Council has the responsibility to seek early de-escalation.
China, as the president of the Security Council for May, has pushed the Council to hold two emergency consultations on the Palestine-Israel conflict, and has drafted a press statement, in a bid to guide the Council to take actions, he added.
But regrettably, the Council has so far failed to reach an agreement, with the United States standing on the opposite side of international justice, Wang said, urging all members of the Council to shoulder their due responsibilities and make effective efforts to maintain regional peace and security.
Third, Wang said, an ultimate way out of the Palestinian issue lies in the implementation of the two-state solution. China will host an open debate on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict at the UN Security Council Sunday, and expects all parties to make a unified voice on this issue.
China holds the opinion that the Security Council should reconfirm the two-state solution and urge Palestine and Israel to resume peace talks on the basis of the two-state solution as soon as possible, Wang added….
https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202105/1223552.shtml
With the Jews (who are mostly Democrats) and the “Evangelical Christians” (who are mostly Republicans) supporting Israel over Palestine, it is hard for US politicians of either party to give up support for the Jews.
Happy Sunday 😀 Morning to Every Living Thing….

Delta Airlines CEO Ed Bastian said in a CNN interview that all new hires will be required to be vaccinated for the coronavirus.
Why it matters: The decision makes Delta the first major U.S. airline to require vaccines. The company said that more than 60% of its employees are vaccinated and it wants “to help maintain this trajectory.”

Yes, but: Delta added it will not implement a mandate requiring current workers to be inoculated.
What they’re saying: “Any person joining Delta in the future, we are going to mandate to be vaccinated before they can sign up with the company,” Bastian told CNN on Thursday.
“You probably will not be able to fly an international flight if you are not vaccinated because it’s going to be mandated by local authorities in order to get in the country that you’re vaccinated,” he added.
Give it up already the Elders mandate everyone gets it..step up and take it like a man.
this is the same Woke Delta which was so horrrrrified that GA had passed a voting law requiring a valid ID. Woke Delta of course requires an ID to fly on their planes. As for required vaccination, other airlines may not be as amazingly woke as Delta.
Is that the same GA that limited the number polling places in urban areas (where Ds dominate) to ensure very long lines for voting and banned giving voters in line water? Also, the same GA that rejected student IDs for voting while allowing gun permits? That GA?
Ano, you really are a troll.
Why don’t you state your position? Are you against voter id? Are you for needing ID to board an airplane?
And please take your fake dem-rep debate somewhere else.
A Timeline of “The Great Reset” Agenda
If you are World Economic Forum (WEF) Founder Klaus Schwab, you attempt to sell your vision of a global Utopia via a Great Reset of the world order in three simple steps:
Announce your intention to revamp every aspect of society with global governance, and keep repeating that message
When your message isn’t getting through, simulate fake pandemic scenarios that show why the world needs a great reset
If the fake pandemic scenarios aren’t persuasive enough, wait a couple months for a real global crisis to occur, and repeat step one
It took Schwab and the Davos elite about six years to watch their great reset ideology grow from a tiny Swiss seed in 2014 to a European super-flower pollinating the entire globe in 2020.
The so-called “Great Reset” promises to build “a more secure, more equal, and more stable world” if everyone on the planet agrees to “act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions.”
But it wouldn’t have been possible to contemplate materializing such an all-encompassing plan for a new world order without a global crisis, be it manufactured or of unfortunate happenstance, that shocked society to its core.
“In the end, the outcome was tragic: the most catastrophic pandemic in history with hundreds of millions of deaths, economic collapse and societal upheaval” — Clade X pandemic simulation (May, 2018)
So, in May, 2018, the WEF partnered with Johns Hopkins to simulate a fictitious pandemic — dubbed “Clade X” — to see how prepared the world be if ever faced with such a crisis.
A little over a year later, the WEF once again teamed-up with Johns Hopkins, along with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, to stage another pandemic exercise called Event 201 in October, 2019.
Both simulations concluded that the world wasn’t prepared for a global pandemic.
https://www.globalresearch.ca/timeline-great-reset-agenda-foundation-event-201-pandemic-2020/5745205
A couple of months! David had me convinced we had some time….I thought we had a couple of years! I better hurry up!
maybe a couple of decades! who knows? what seems to be happening is that the Great Reset is all talk and no action. The Not So Great Reset isn’t going anywhere right now. The lockdowns+vaccines hasn’t moved the reset needle one bit. Now maybe just maybe the mid term and long term effects of the vaccines will be world changing, but I doubt it. A few million deaths from long term effects will not bring about a world changing economic reset………………………………………………… All talk and no action.
the great reset puts a concept into the minds of unthinkers, that somehow, in ways still to be invented, the function of humankind can be ‘reset’ to some bygone era, then everything can just start over and we won’t be aware of much change to our current way of life.
Much like resetting the odometer on a car—-ooo look!!, this car as only done 1000 miles—when in reality the engine is shot, the brakes don’t work and the wheels are falling off after 250000 miles.
But somebody has reset the odometer—so that makes everything ok—that is the concept of the ‘great reset’
There can never be any reset action.
This is a planet.
It will ‘reset’ itself yes, but not until it’s done another 50 million whirls around the sun.
I somehow doubt if that will include us.
good. I would add that even in the short run, the world economy will not be reset by the sheer will of Klaus and company. They must be in denial of how networked the world economy is. It’s mostly self-organizing, and small groups of humans can nudge it slightly, but there is no way than can do a managed reset. All talk and no action.
Great analogy Norm.
Yes but now when you pull back the curtains and open up! You are going to have to “show” something…..and that is where the problems lie right now…..there is nothing to show…..all the numbers are bad…..maybe if no one test drives the car they won’t know that the engine is shot and the brakes are bad? I find that highly unlikely……countries like israel now and are starting to make moves……China next?
Restarting this whole system seems like it will crash before it gets too far…especially when you start driving that car that has been leaking oil on a long trip! Thats if the transmission can even still shift gears
“And for my next trick,” says Dr. Schwab, I am going to veeset the deckchairs on the Titanic. By 2030 you vill all live in steerage, but you vill be happy!”
The reset my not be a reset, but it is definitely coming. The income and standard of living of 90% of the population of most Western nations is being reset as we speak. A lot of promises made to a lot of people are not going to be honored. The Brits in particular can look forward to diminished pensions, purchasing power, and NHS services. A serious cancer, heart, liver or kidney operation delayed for a year is often an operation denied.
How does one reset the world without cheap energy? Reset to …. Ground Zero?
Pediatricians primed to lead Covid vaccination efforts as kids become eligible
Now that both the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have green-lighted Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine for emergency use in kids ages 12 to 15, pediatricians will soon find themselves on the front lines of the country’s vaccination efforts, playing an essential role in communicating to parents the safety and importance of getting their kids the shot.
That’s a tall order for pediatricians who say they’re facing skyrocketing vaccine hesitancy among families.
“It’s not like I can just send out a big message that says, ‘Everybody get your flu shot!'” said Dr. Natasha Burgert, a pediatrician in Overland Park, Kansas, and a national spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics. “It’s hard, especially for those of us who are communicating with these families every day.”
While it’s true that young people are not likely to get very sick from Covid-19, they can still harbor the virus and spread it to others. As of May 6, more than 3.8 million cases of Covid-19 had been reported in children, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. That’s about 14 percent of all U.S. cases.
Still, according to a recent pollfrom a research consortium called the Covid States Project, nearly half of surveyed parents said they didn’t plan on getting their kids the Covid-19 vaccination. Many of those opposed to the vaccine cited worries that the shots are not safe.
It’s pediatricians who must address those concerns.
https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/pediatricians-primed-lead-covid-vaccination-efforts-kids-become-eligible-n1266876
And they can still harbour and spread it to others after being vaxxed….
And STILL… the sheep cannot smell the wolves….
And still….
the naked Emperor here is the big lie or deliberate misconception of these experimental treatments as a vaccine. the bottles are labeled vaccine, but the fine print tells a different story. everyone falls for the label, because they want so bad for it truely to be an effective vaccine, and we can all return to normal. Goebbles would be so proud.
Goebbles might have been proud, but Dr. Mengele would have refused to continue the vax program on the grounds of medical ethics. “In za interests of scientific progress, I might do a series of inoculations on twins,” he would say, “but I draw za line at genocide.”
uhm, you “could say” that the experiments Mengele did should have imroved the German race. It is not clear, if the vaccines can “imrpove” a population…
Maybe it just depens on the point of view.
(cough, cough, only thought experiment here…)
The same line over and over “nearly half of surveyed parents said they didn’t plan on getting their kids the Covid-19 vaccination.” … it’s always contrived that less than half of all a given population would abstain…reality is … more like 99% of parents would not give their kids an untested potential lethal injection.
If they were informed as to the true risk vs benefit.
Bobby, you are an optimist.
I bet a vast majority of people can be “encouraged” to give their kids the untested gene therapy.
Yes, they may grumble online but when the schools requires it, they will relent. Most parents (in US at least) are much too selfish to care about their kids.
Langley-area man loses 2 metres of intestine after a blood clot following his AstraZeneca jab
A formerly healthy 43-year-old father from Langley — who is in hospital recovering from complications following a blood clot — is warning others to watch for signs of trouble after receiving an AstraZeneca-Oxford COVID-19 vaccine.
Shaun Mulldoon and his wife Tara say that doctors confirmed to them that he’s a victim of the rare but dangerous syndrome linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine. The clot in his abdomen will leave him with life-long effects after two metres of his small intestine was removed.
Health officials said Thursday at a man in his 40s in the Fraser Health region is one of the two British Columbians known to be affected by the syndrome, but health authorities will not comment on individual cases.
Shaun Mulldoon believes he wasn’t adequately warned of the vaccine’s risks or protected from them.
The AstraZeneca-Oxford COVID-19 vaccine has been linked to vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT). Symptoms include severe headache, pain, swollen limbs, nausea, vomiting and shortness of breath.

Building crisis looms as dwindling supplies bring sites grinding to a halt
Shortages, delays and soaring prices caused by Brexit, Covid and the Suez blockage are holding up projects across the nation
By tradition, the wits of every construction apprentice are tested with two errands early on in their career: to ask the foreman first for some tartan paint and then a long weight.
The joke is ringing even more hollow than usual on building sites across the UK, where firms needing essential building supplies are facing some very, very long waits. The British building industry is in the midst of a supply crisis. From roof tiles to steel, timber to insulation, paint to kitchen sinks, products are scarce – and when they can be found, they’re expensive.
Timber costs 80% more than it did in November, steel joists are more expensive because iron ore has gone up by more than 80%. Soft wood is up by almost 100%. Aluminium is up by about a quarter. Copper is up 40%. Plastics up 60%. Paints are up by about a third.
A combination of Covid and Brexit has caused the crisis, while delays to global supplies caused by March’s Suez crisis have not helped either. They are affecting projects big and small, across the country.

This is the UK version of the problem. I suppose some version of the problem exists everywhere. Between this problem and rising interest rates, the economy will be badly squeezed.
Individuals aged 18 and older in Buriram province deemed by the local authorities to be at risk of COVID-19 infection who refuse to get vaccinated, will be penalized, according to a provincial order published recently.
Buriram Governor Thatchakorn Hatthathayakul urged every individual, aged 18 or more, living or working in Buriram, to submit their COVID-19 risk assessment form and apply for vaccination through the publicly available channels by May 31st.
The channels include door-to-door approach by public health volunteers, online registration or personal visits to hospitals or health offices in the province. Failure to apply by May 31st is liable to one month in prison and/or a fine of 10,000 Baht.
If, during the application process, health officials or officials from the Disease Control Department find that the applicant is deemed to be at risk of getting infected, they can order them to get vaccinated at a specific venue and on a specific day.
Those who refuse to receive vaccine jabs, as ordered, may face a maximum fine of 60,000 Baht – 20,000 Baht for a violation of the Communicable Diseases Act and 40,000 Baht for a violation of the emergency decree – and/or two years in prison.

Oh dear, there goes my plan to flee to Thailand with my family (assuming we could get there) when the pressure to vaccinate in the UK can no longer be resisted.
Unfortunately, there will be no refuge unless Collapse intervenes and brings it all tumbling down. Which looks quite possible.
They have already shown us just how callous and ruthless they can be in this first stage.
Making the firm determination to resist at quite literally any cost brings a wonderful sensation of peace and full personal autonomy.
But I’ll get back to you when I’m under house arrest, starving and all services have been cut off….
You know how evil guys in movies always say: I will make you pray for death!
This is the global version – I am really praying for fast collapse to save us from the evil.
Seems people are having a hard time wrapping around the CEP.
It is not evil. How can compassion be evil? (unless the MSM says it is …)
Hands up who wants to be alive when the oil stops flowing – and the power goes out — permanently… and the starvation and violence begin.
FE, I do want to be alive when the system goes down.
Life is tragic and I don’t expect it to be any other way.
But to take the easy way out is just not me.
Sorry if I misjudge you but I am starting to form this image of you as a sensitive guy that prefers the delusion of CEP to the reality – reality that you are well aware of but still hope “someone up there” will take care of.
That would explain your emotional reaction to any disagreement (even if I agree with everything else except the fact that the oligarchs are good people).
Who would have thought that you are an idealist!
I’m not inventing the CEP to make myself feel better…..
You need to re-think the fact that there is a forceful campaign to inject 8B people with an experimental ‘vaccine’ when there is no benefit to the vast majority of the 8B.
It’s not likely to turn out to be an IQ booster shot.
Yes, this looks very coercive. As bad as blue state America!!
Thailand had Covid licked when it started its “vaccination campaign” in early March this year. Then, like just about every other country that began jabbing people, the numbers shot up. From literally zero daily cases on March 8 to over 4800 cases at the peak on May 7
And then there’s Cambodia.

Yorchichan, I hope you are feeling better these days. I have a friend currently in hospital with the bug, and he says the experience has drained him of energy. he can only stand up for five minutes at a time.
Thank you Tim, I have never felt better. At 56 I am now stronger than I have ever been before. Amazing what a good diet can do. I wish I’d had the knowledge I have now when I was younger.
I hope the health problems you were having a few weeks ago are now resolved.
Tim’s problems stemmed, it seems, not from suspected Covid but from being too much of a Viking.
Mighty blows from his axe sent juddering shocks through his body, temporarily upsetting all sorts of internal balances.
As a fellow axe-wielder, it must be admitted that it’s possible to be too manly by half, and every now and then one must take a break and drink a gallon or two of ale (or whatever one can get in Japan) and tear off the odd roast leg of lamb as a dainty snack to recuperate…..
and don’t forget hairdressing with axes needs practice too
I’ll bear that advice in mind, Norman. But a sickle and a basin on the head is the best way to get that medieval peasant look.
For the past forty years Mrs. Tim has cut my hair, and very professionally too, as she was Vidal Sassoon trained. But if she gets bored doing it, I intend to give myself the Yul Brynner look with a clipper.
well—as long as she wasn’t trained in the Kirk Douglas viking ladies hairdressing school, you should be OK
I see Tim as more of a ninja assassin than Viking warrior. If his katana don’t get you, his deadly wit surely will.
He’s sharp, our Tim, I give you that.
Boom, boom! (Basil Brush, reference for non-Brits).
Kids should stay masked in schools despite new rules for vaccinated adults: CDC
Sorry, kids, no bare faces for you.
Schools should continue to require face masks “at all times, by all people in school facilities” for the rest of the academic year, according to updated CDC guidance issued Saturday.
But coming after the agency proclaimed this week that adults vaccinated against COVID-19 can safely ditch their face coverings, the unchanged rule threatened to add even more confusion as the nation grappling with a hodgepodge of mask messages.
Strict rules requiring mask use and physical distancing should remain in schools nationwide “regardless of the level of community transmission” of coronavirus, the CDC insisted.

Space Force CO Who Got Holiday Call from Trump Fired Over Comments Decrying Marxism in the Military
A commander of a U.S. Space Force unit tasked with detecting ballistic missile launches has been fired for comments made during a podcast promoting his new book, which claims Marxist ideologies are becoming prevalent in the United States military.
Lt Col. Matthew Lohmeier, commander of 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base, Colorado, was relieved from his post Friday by Lt. Gen. Stephen Whiting, the head of Space Operations Command, over a loss of confidence in his ability to lead, Military.com has exclusively learned.
“This decision was based on public comments made by Lt. Col. Lohmeier in a recent podcast,” a Space Force spokesperson said in an email. “Lt. Gen. Whiting has initiated a Command Directed Investigation on whether these comments constituted prohibited partisan political activity.”
Lohmeier’s temporary assignment in the wake of his removal was not immediately clear.

I hope many people will watch this 50-minute interview with Dr. Dr. Richard Fleming, a Texas-based cardiologist and researcher who explains to Del Bigtree about how the SARS-CoV2 virus is definitely a bioweapon that is a product of research in China and elsewhere that was funded by the US Government.
The really nasty bit of this virus is the gain-of-function spike protein that contains at least three inserts deliberately placed there in the lab to achieve that holy grail of mad virology, gain of function.
“They changed five nucleotides in addition to taking to the spike protein of one virus and the backbone of another. And of those five, the fifth one had to do with the envelope, and we know that envelope has a great deal to deal with this virus being able to infect the brains of people, (Think mad cow disease!) in addition to the spike protein. … In fact, the first notation of a gain of function for SARS-CoV2 dates back to 2006, when a Chinese lab combined hepatitis C virus, HIV, SARS-CoV1 and SARS-CoV2 .”
Besides Anthony Fauci, Dr. Fleming names Shi Zenglhi (the Chinese batwoman), Peter Daszak (the Btitish zoologist who is currently celebrating the British teenagers are now eligible for jabs), and Ralph Baric (the American immunologist and epidemiologists) as among the mad scientists who’ve worked to unleash this frankenvirus on the world.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/qlnmKcLYmvKM/
Wow! Sounds like quite the video. Hopefully I will have time later today to watch it. It is a wonder that this stuff is not showing up in the main street media.
That sounds like fear tactics to me….be very afraid! get your shot! This virus will make you have mad cow disease….This virus is made to make people die etc….. I had covid and it is just like the flu….maybe a little harder but still…. Yes maybe it was made in a lab but I think we have the ability to fight this naturally
He isn’t advocating getting vaxxed. He has planty of very credible things to say. He is no slouch as he changed medicine with the fleming method.
In 1994, Dr. Fleming presented to the American Heart Association his “theory” that cardiovascular disease was due to inflammation. What was theory in 1994 has become well known fact for decades and was highlighted in 2004,with a feature on ABC’s 20/20 News.
Patent # 9566037 was issued to Dr. Fleming on February 14, 2017.
The Fleming Method patent (FMTVDM) covers ALL methods and devices able to measure metabolic and regional blood flow differences. This breakthrough made it possible to differentiate functionality of tissue, tissue types as well as non-tissue, and the measurement of treatment response using all isotopes, enhancing agents and devices capable of detecting and measuring isotopes.
Developing technology that disrupts the methods of conventional medicine is not always welcomed. Especially when that technology would half the revenue a $20 billion nuclear isotope industry. When physicians bring innovation to medicine, complaints to medical boards often follow along with court cases, which is why it’s called, “Disruptive Technology.”
Sam, I’m glad your run in with Covid wasn’t too bad. We need to hear testimonies like yours in order to dial down the fear level.
But as Niko says, Dr. Fleming was not saying the virus will make you have mad cow disease. My take was that, if anything, he was cautioning that taking the vaccine may be worse for your health than contacting the virus.
I’ve now heard or read several people who know far more about virology than I do saying that there is a part of the spike protein that has been altered in the lab and that MAY work like a prion in the brain. If there is any truth in this, it’s certainly a reason not to have billions of “designer” spike proteins flowing around in the bloodstream, from whatever source.
I thought this video was good. It is a difficult subject, however. After reading enough about the subject and watching enough videos, I can see how what Dr. Fleming says fits in with the rest of what is being said. It helps to have background in this, to (sort of) understand what Fleming is saying.
One thing Dr. Fleming says is that he will be giving a 3 to 3.5 hour talk on June 4, talking about what can be done to mitigate any of these things we are dealing with. Thus, the fear factor should not be as high as people probably have. It sounds like he believes that not only are there ways to cure COVID-19 outside of the hospital, but there are ways to mitigate the bad effects of the vaccines.
It doesn’t sound to me like Dr. Fleming is fear mongering. We have been dealing with fear mongering with respect to COVID-19 for over a year, now.
Oh ok maybe you are right. It was the correlating this virus with “Mad Cow” that set me off. I have heard people using fear tactics of what the virus can do to you long term to make them take the vaccine…
Nothing can be done.
I had a discussion with someone earlier today and they are desperate to get the jab… even though they realize it does not stop them from contracting covid…
This was a healthy guy – mid-50’s…. yet he’s fearful of dying…
Even if you point out that only around 400 people under 60 in the UK have died from or with Covid.. he’s still willing to accept the risks both short and long term.
The ship has sailed…. and without a doubt we already have enough rats injected to achieve whatever the goal is….
You cannot fight something when the entire world leadership – MSM – and the Elders …. are aligned against you….
And if they are then you have to assume that whatever their plan is…. it’s in everyone’s interests not to fight it
We are way to many people and we are out of oil.
One way or the other — we are all going to die very soon.
She will get us all killed when the vegans eat bags of truck delivered greens chock full of bioweapons. Stay away from stress when The Oil Apocalypse is well under the way? Who is she kidding.

OMG, we wont survive the alien invasion unless we have a 1 world government!!!
and all get vaccinated against the virus the aliens carry
If so, it would probably kill us before we’d even met up with them…damn!
Unfortunate for them,too, as highly evolved beings – such as us lot here on OFW – would have a thing or two to teach them.
I’m feeling particularly advanced today. Millions of years of evolution from a squidge of nothing have done their job.
“Aliens” are pretty far down my list of most likely explanations for this phenomenon.
Helicopters on Mars…. UFO’s are real….. take their minds off the wolves….
What do you say when meeting a ‘Grey Alien’ for the first time?
‘Put some bloody clothes on, that thin, lanky, body is disgusting! And a mask would be a welcome addition, too. Ever looked in a mirror on your planet? !!’
It’s all so disappointing.
Couldn’t they least pretend that Tolkein’s wise elves exist – much more pleasing!
If these crappy joy-riding aliens are real, I’m out of this Universe – it’s beneath me.
‘MOREONS’ hahahahahaha

Isn’t a vaccine certificate requirement a de facto HIPPA violation? In theory, even if the government or corporations can coerce you into getting a vaccine in the first place, which is a whole separate legal issue, do they have the right to keep you on a data base which requires public disclosure of your medical treatment and diagnosis?
What comes into play now are the recent laws established around data privacy in general. I believe these have more clout and are taken more seriously since the hippa rules have been all but thrown away.
All personal data is private and protected under new laws. That includes your medical data. No requirement to disclose why you don’t wear a mask etc. Even admitting that you have a medical condition is giving away “data” that can be used against you by police enforcers, hackers, big data, government.
We have discrimation laws, the constitution guaranteeing individual rights, bodily integrity etc. At the moment these institutions are still in place but have not been applying the law. At the moment governments, media, and Big Pharma are applying coercion on steroids but even that is losing steam.
Instead of becoming more dictatorial, I think they will be swept aside to give populations a false sense of victory. The replacements will then guide people in the originally intended direction having gained their respect.
But since these policies are based on flawed “data” the more likely outcome is still descent into absolute chaos as all the parts begin to fly in different directions.
I suspect data privacy will be the least of our concerns at some point.
Hilarious: you may be an ‘unwitting asset of Russia’ if you use your brain to explode the Covid pandemic hysteria.
People who think they are smart for regurgitating propaganda – he puppet masters must be delighted with their work!
Door-to-door jab ‘hit squads’ to fight Indian Covid variant: Ministers hope targeted vaccine drive can halt rise of ‘more infectious strain’ by fighting vaccine hesitancy in hotspots Bolton and Blackburn
Ministers plan to vaccinate entire households where Indian variant takes hold to stop Covid spreading
Ministers are sending in Army to help with drive to target multi-generational households in affected areas
More than 4,000 people were vaccinated by Covid ‘jab bus’ in Bolton, a worst affected areas, yesterday
Boris Johnson warned the Indian variant poses ‘risk of disruption’ to the end of social distancing on June 21
Ministers are cautiously optimistic that targeted vaccinations can arrest a surge of the Indian variant and stop it from derailing Boris Johnson’s roadmap out of lockdown.
Door-to-door Covid ‘hit squads’ are heading to Bolton and Blackburn, where the strain is at its most virulent, to focus on areas with the greatest ‘vaccine hesitancy’.
Entire multi-generational households will be offered inoculations.
A Government source said: ‘In jabs we trust.’
Mr Johnson will proceed as planned with tomorrow’s reopening of pubs and restaurants for indoor dining, but has warned that the Indian variant poses ‘a real risk of disruption’ to the end of social distancing on June 21.

The political fragmentation of UK continues unabated, with different regions on wholly different trajectories, as the Tories contemplate calling an early general election.
Tories are set for a massive majority of MPs in England, while SNP would take every seat bar one in Scotland. To some extent, the party configuration in England is accentuating the divergence. The ‘left’ in England has been splintered since the SDP (Lib Dems) was formed back in 1981, giving TP a clear run for a majority of seats there. In Scotland, it is the Unionist opposition that is divided into three parties.
This is just about the worst possible scenario for UK – Tories and SNP are like polar opposites. LP continues to dominate the Welsh parliament, and well, what can one really say about NI?
> SNP would win 58 of 59 Scottish seats in a snap General Election, poll finds
THE SNP would pick up another 12 seats and the Tories would secure a landslide majority over Labour if Boris Johnson called a snap General Election, a new poll has found.
The survey of 14,000 people carried out after the local and regional elections across the UK, found the party would take its number of MPs from 46 to 58 – leaving just a single Scottish MP who is not from the SNP.
The results showed the Tories would secure a 122-seat landslide majority, up from 81 today, over Labour and win 23 more “red wall” seats in the Midlands and the North of England.
The poll put the Tories on 43%, more than doubling their lead over Labour from 5% before the elections to 13%.
“The Conservatives now have a double digit-lead over Labour, and could be on course for a landslide majority. A divided opposition with votes split between Labour, Lib Dems and Greens pretty makes it easy for the Conservatives to win.
“Only in Scotland and Wales, where the Conservatives are not the largest party, does their winning formula break down.”
https://www.thenational.scot/news/19306065.snp-win-10-seats-tories-win-majority-labour-general-election/
Indeed a different trajectory for Scotland as its well down the path to full National Socialism.
Grow up.
Here, I don’t like the sound of that their Sturgeon Youth movement.
https://www.amazon.com/SNP-Scottish-National-Arthur-Donaldson/dp/B07H35PP6P
Grow up.
Were they off to meet the local priest to be diddled in exchange for lollies?
The photo was not taken in Scotland, and it has nothing to do with SNP.
And we do not do religious sectarianism in Britain. I am guessing that you have NI ancestry?
15% of NZ is Irish ancestry, and they likely have a dim view of some of what you are pushing on here.
Keep sectarianism out of Britain – we do not want it!
If you personally do want it, then I suggest that you let your local Irish know – if they do not already.
“as the Tories contemplate calling an early general election.”
I doubt the Tories are so stupid. They already have an excellent majority and can do anything they want. I’m sure Boris remembers what happened when Theresa May called a general election unnecessarily. Theresa May – and then again she May not – as I used to tell myself, in the days when she was trying and failing to get Brexit done. Not that I ever wanted Brexit to be done.
An early or a later GE would be a gamble. The Telegraph outlines some of the thinking around a snap May 2023 GE. The new poll suggests that SNP is unlikely to lose seats, however.
> The Budget lays the ground for an early election the Tories may regret
…. But the second wave has changed all that, having doubled the Covid bill to a crippling £350 billion. So we can forget about quickly repairing the lockdown damage and moving on: the costs will now dominate Budgets for the rest of the decade, if not longer. The austerity that Johnson has promised not to repeat now looks unavoidable, with plans to spend £17 billion less on public services than was envisaged this time last year. Hardly the formula on which elections are won.
But the Sunak Budget – which can be summarised as “spend now, pay nothing until 2023” – could have been designed for an election held in the May of that year. It is divided into Biblical-style fat years – the splurge now – and then the lean years, coming in the form of huge tax rises that will continue for the foreseeable.
Until May 2023, the experience of most people will be of economic boom and retail therapy. The economy is expected to surge 7.3 per cent next year, a post-war high, driven by a nation of frustrated shoppers who take two years to spend their lockdown savings. If the recovery goes better than predicted (as Sunak privately expects), the full tax rises starting in April 2023 might not be needed at all. But delay the election until May 2024 and the post-retail glow fades. As will the growth: it’s projected to be 1.9 per cent that year.
And now there’s a new argument: the Tories want the vaccine project to still be in voters’ minds. This is what seems to be driving the opinion polls now: a success that is, increasingly, supplanting the memories of failure.
[Other considerations: Do an election while LP is stuck with Starmer; SNP might lose seats in a snap and ease pressure for indy2; get rid of Boris after election.]
…. If anything, the question is whether he can leave an election as late as May 2023. Sunak’s tax rises certainly will be biting by then – and there may be difficult questions about whether re-elected Tories would offer anything other than sweat, tears and tax.
Hopes of a decent recovery very much depend on the ability to exit lockdown and make proper use of the vaccination success. There’s a very real possibility of this being botched. The risk travel and workplace restrictions last long after the virus is a serious threat – in which case there may be no boom on which to capitalise.

WTF! 8-month-old from NY is youngest COVID vaccine recipient in the world
An 8-month-old baby boy from upstate Baldwinsville, NY, is the youngest person in the world to receive two doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
Vincenzo “Enzo” Mincolla got his second jab Wednesday as part of a clinical trial being conducted by Upstate Medical University, Syracuse.com reported.
The hospital is one of four sites in the US testing the Pfizer vaccine in children under age 5. The US is the only country conducting such tests right now.
The federal government approved Pfizer’s shots for kids as young as 12 on Wednesday.
Enzo is one of 16 infants at the four sites participating in Phase 1 of the trial that includes kids ages 6 months to 2 years old.

A baby doesn’t have the ability to make their own antibodies, they have a naive immune system, their thymus has not developed the capacity. That’s why babies drink colostrum. They need their mothers immune system to support their own. Vaccines fir babies are insanely and evil
150,000 Londoners peacefully demonstrated in solidarity with Palestinians today, sending out a clear message that London does not support Isr/eli aggression.
> Thousands of pro-Palestine protesters including Jeremy Corbyn march on the Israeli embassy in London
…. Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told the crowds international action provides ‘succour, comfort and support’ to those suffering in the conflict. Crowds chanted ‘oh, Jeremy Corbyn’ and threw roses as he took to the stage.
Other speakers outside the Israeli embassy were Labour MP Zarah Sultana and rapper Lowkey. The names and ages of the children killed in the conflict were read out, followed by a minute’s silence.
People were told to move further down the road as a matter of crowd safety, and there were cheers as organisers told them the turnout was ‘the biggest pro-Palestine demonstration since 2014’.
Organisers said demonstrator numbers were estimated at 150,000. Coloured smoke was set off along Kensington High Street and some demonstrators climbed on to buildings and bus stops.
Among the buildings to be scaled were the offices of the MailOnline, where protesters climbed on scaffolding and set off fireworks.
It comes as thousands of Palestinians have been forced to flee from their homes after a week of sustained conflict.

A subject brought up on occasion:

Science, so might not be appropriate for some
You go fishing for reasons for people not want to like you. How about laying off remarks such as, “Science, so might not be appropriate for some.”
in certain cases, it might be better to say the laws of physics (and common sense) don’t apply to some.
Especially since the cited paper is not science. The authors did not perform a single experiment, which is the antithesis of science. They did a “meta analysis”, which means they put other people’s work into a computer, which of course will produce whatever the programmers want it to produce. Not surprisingly, given the source, they found HCQ didn’t work.
Thanks for pointing that out, Robert.
Duncan and Norman, what a tag team. Seriously.
In addition to some churching, you guys need some sciencing up.
We are on the Earth
And turning recklessly
I never felt so free
It’s the science
That kills me.
This article is called:
“Mortality outcomes with hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine in COVID-19 from an international collaborative meta-analysis of randomized trials”
It concludes:
“We found that treatment with hydroxychloroquine is associated with increased mortality in COVID-19 patients, and there is no benefit of chloroquine. Findings have unclear generalizability to outpatients, children, pregnant women, and people with comorbidities.”
This clearly is not a study of whether these drugs, in the right quantities, with the right other drugs or supplements, are suitable at early stages of COVID-19, for the purpose of keeping people out of the hospital.
The real issue is keeping people out of the hospital. It is too late for many treatments after the patient has deteriorated to this point.
Oh yes, that kind of “science”… Everything is perverted nowadays
Exactly. And did you notice how many authors the paper needed? To do what? Half a dozen data entry clerks could have keyed in the relevant information; four or five tame IT hackers could have programmed the computer to spit out the “analysis” the editor of Nature wanted. So why this overkill?
Of course: to persuade the readers that this was science, not propaganda.
Always remember: “Nullius in Verba”.
What was it used in combination with? My understanding is that HCQ does not work in isolation and needs to be taken with other treatments, such as zinc, to be effective.
Good point. HCQ+Zinc, early in the disease, before hospitalization. The HCQ is a low dose.
If you read the article, you would know this is delusion.
And if you were less of a troll, you wouldn’t use an inflammatory word such as “delusion” in place of any of a slew of simpler and less emotive and more appropriate words such as “mistaken”, “wrong”, “incorrect” or “not true”.
Gail, the best way to take HCQ is on the rocks with gin and a slice of lemon, preferably while seated on a wicker chair and listening to the singing of the caged birdsat Raffles.
No one drug including vaccines is a cure. A multi drug and vitamin approach is what is required. Something that boosts the immune system, something that stops viral replication, something that removes inflammation and something that deals with or prevents thrombosis. Time for you to step up to the real level of research in the science rather than dumbing it down to a basic science level you seem to be only capable of perpetuating Dunc. Your blatant partisan stance is tiresome especially to those of us who don’t reside in the US.
One thing is obvious:
Treatment is never ever mentioned in no article what so ever in the MSM
It is controversial because it requires a medical professional to assist and monitor the development closely together wth the patient.
That sort of “self management” is completely against all odds of a “managed society”.
https://aapsonline.org/covidpatientguide/
It is much harder for the health care system to make money from self management. The fear factor is likely to disappear.
Gail,
Sincerely asked: If self management worked, would obesity be cured?
I did this sort of thing for forty-one years as a dentist, it is easier to deal with issues secondarily to their occurrence and then modify behavior, some will over time change behavior, some will not. It is a very subtle process.
Fear? I am not sure that makes us change our directions very easily. Sex is dangerous, it is still going on last I heard. STD’s are rampant, many have no cures, still the beat goes on so to speak.
Health care is part of a societal system, physicians do not operate in a vacuum, some are in it only for the money, but most are not; being a professional is a wonderful thing, seeing treatments work is personally rewarding. Perhaps one has to do that sort of thing over a period of time to understand it. Being called “Dr.” is nice, it is earned, it is a step up from “hey you.” Reputation is something worth maintaining. One can make more money in business if that is the game.
Many times those around the professionals are those most interested in the money, wives marrying physicians are a good example. As residents go through their training, the further along the more it is open season on a future pay check earned by other than medical talent. The corollary is getting laid as a physician is easer than as a plumber. The world is an interconnected system so I have been told.

I think the big issues are fighting the American diet and fighting the standard American lack of exercise. As long as the culture is geared toward sitting around watching the TV as much as possible, eating foods that are clearly not good for you, and driving everywhere, it is hard to get anyone to “act differently.” In fact, I am not sure that the health care system has clearly worked out a list of what people should do. It may vary somewhat from person to person.
I know I lost weight and changed my health considerably years ago. Doing that involved reading books rather than talking to a physician. I suppose that was self-management, but it was really a tip-off that we have to eat different types of food. Exercise is helpful as well.
ya but most people are as we know —- MOREONS…..
nicely put Dennis
Imagine how easy it must be to get laid if you are Bill Gates!
Bees love honey.
If they admit there is any other kind of treatment, they can’t justify their “emergency use” which lets them get away with literal murder.
Many thousands dead so far from the EGT Experimental Gene Therapy.
Lidia,
Respectfully asked, who is they?
Medicine is the practice of medicine, if nothing different is tried blood letting could still be a treatment of choice – it did not work well for George Washington.
Covid is a virus of uncertain origin, we are learning; treating someone and having them die can me mentally traumatizing, being on the wrong side of the group can be very hard on a career. This is basically how we as humans behave, we are groupies in many respects, it is part of us. Put in twenty years of training, have a family, responsibilities, going against the trend can be mentally challenging for anyone.
It will work, it mostly always has and as of yet, nothing has really significantly diminished our numbers.

Physician, heal thyself. Which is exactly what Dr. Lorraine did.
So she’s the only kind of doctor i’ll trust and see if i ever get sick.
Ross Horne was a retired Qantas airline pilot who came to very similar conclusions. After he retired in his mid-50s, he spent years researching ‘health’, and what caused disease and good health (something which most doctors never do, not in any detail anyway – Ross wrote about this). I read his ‘The Health Revolution 4th Edition’ way back in 1987/88. It was a best-seller in Australia at the time. Ross died a few years ago in his early 80s, but THR 5th edition is available online:
https://archive.org/details/TheHealthRevolutionFifthEdition/mode/2up
He subsequently wrote ‘Improving On Pritikin – You Can Do Better’ (1988), which was more about the politics of health, and how the modern health system is more about making money than health. Also available online:
https://ia800302.us.archive.org/24/items/ImprovingOnPritikinYouCanDoBetter/Improving%20on%20Pritikin%20You%20Can%20Do%20Better.pdf
For thoughts on the role of exercise in good health, see chapter 11 – “Second Thoughts on Exercise”. An interesting read at the very least.
I didn’t know this author. I browsed the book and got interested. Ross Horne seems to have the kind of knowledgeable, logical and nonsense mind that I appreciate. I think I will wish to read it from end to end. Thanks!
The truth is probably somewhere in the middle between what Lorraine Day is saying and what conventional physicians are saying. Lifestyle factors make a huge difference in all kinds of diseases, including cancer. But these are not the whole story.
We know that people do not live forever. People have accidents that eventually kill them. Their bodies degrade, as they get older. Some of this can be slowed by proper diet, exercise, and staying away from harmful chemicals, but some of it cannot.
Dr. L. Day was a traumatologist and saved many lifes in the operating room. If I had an accident or got shot, I would resort to conventional medicine without hesitation. But if I got sick, I would like to be 15,000 miles away from the nearest allopathic doctor, since these don’t cure anyone, they just suppress symptoms. At least that’s the opinion of Dr. Lorrain (and many others) and i trust her because… she managed to heal her big ugly tumour without chemicals nor chemotherapy.
The science is pretty clear now that cancer is a metabolic disease that results do due damage to the mitocondria. All other genetic changes are a secondary effect. This can be cured or suppressed through natural means, or combo with medical interventions if the damage and cancer has not spread too far. One just needs to know the science. this video is a good primer.
Thanks, nikoB. I saw this reference on OFW before, but unfortunately i’m a microbiology illiterate, and can’t really follow Dr. Seyfrieds’ explanations in that video.
The interview below seems to be (i just heared half of it by now) much more within my pay grade, but likewise elucidative. Thanks!

Thanks JMS. Just trying to get the message out that we can all help ourselves in what most would consider a dire situation.
Unravelling the complexity of a pandemic shaped by mass vaccination. What does it tell us?
Conclusion:
Whether ‘home-made’ or ‘foreign’, vaccine-resistant variants are highly likely to cause more (severe) disease in vaccinated as compared to non-vaccinated subjects. This is because the latter may still dispose upon a fully functional arsenal of CoV-nonspecific Abs provided they are seronegative for CoV-derived S protein. As a result, vaccinees will soon constitute the predominant source of Sars-CoV-2 infection and cause a dramatic surge in viral infectious pressure. As pre-symptomatic vaccinees will increasingly serve as a reservoir for Sars-CoV-2 infection, non-vaccinated persons should refrain from mixing with vaccinees.
As patients with severe Covid-19 disease need hospitalization, circulation of vaccine-resistant variants is not only going to overwhelm the health care system but also pose a tremendous risk to all health care workers as the vast majority of them have already been vaccinated. Consequently, health care workers as well will be much more susceptible to contracting Covid-19 disease caused by vaccine-resistant variants.
https://www.geertvandenbossche.org/post/unravelling-the-complexity-of-a-pandemic-shaped-by-mass-vaccination-what-does-it-tell-us
Sucharit Bhakdi still does some interviews in Germany. He talks about the situation in Germany.
What he says concerning VDB (cite from my recall):
“The vaccine makes no sense in the first place as the vaccine is in the blood stream and the virus comes through the lungs. So the vaccine has zero effect because the vaccinated body is prepared for an attack in the blood stream but not from the lungs.
Primary for that reason, the vaccinated can not have much of any pressure for the evolution of the virus because all the virus related stuff is happening in the lungs and not primary in the blood system.”
I am not fully convinced as we saw that the spike protein causes problems in the blood stream. Anyways.
The spike protein is the vaccine.
The virus is airborne.
I think this at least makes some difference that we must keep in mind.
Putting out moar (hat tip to Fast Eddy) fear is not very helpful. Some maybe but I prefer to keep my stress levels down 😉
As I keep saying, “We will see.” Maybe Geert Vanden Bossche’s theory is right, and maybe it is not.
There are quite a few ways that the current “vaccines” could be problematic. Bossche’s theory represents only one of these ways.
Robert, I guess the people of Palestine have lived on the land “forever”. Rulers come and go…farmers tend to stay with their land. They have been Palestinians, Jeews, Muslim Arabs and what ever…while the only thing that really matters is their olive garden.
Thank you, Yoshua, and I agree. Except for one small problem:
https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/over-100-000-olive-trees-uprooted-by-israel-since-2010/2082497.
An act, by the way, that their own holy book prohibits, even in time of war.
Destroying olive trees is terrible. The Palestinians have been given little water, and they experience” frequent electricity outages. The Israelis are not being “good neighbors,” at all.
is it me, or does the Gaza/Israel problem remind anyone else of Warsaw during WW2?
The idea was to ethnically cleanse Warsaw, Eastern Europe was to provide Leibensraum.
This is looking like the same thing
It’s exactly the same thing.
Which some would say is ironic… but I see as a perfectly natural impulse afflicting most organisms on this planet.
Lebensraum was also grabbed by Russia back in the day. And China is now seeking to be the next big grabber.
Israel will most likely not succeed in their lebensraum ambitions.
Much better neighbours than the Brits/Americans were to the native tribes of the americas….
Palestinians are living it up by comparison!
A little bomb here… a little genocide there… what’s to complain about?
Didn’t fact check, but if true, maybe things are not as bad as we might think. Elon seems to be on a roll and literally blasting off. From Tim Morgan’s latest comment section.
“Some food for thought. Elon Musk’s SpaceX has already reduced the cost of reaching Low Earth orbit by a factor of 20 over the Space Shuttle and his new fully reusable rocket will reduce it by a factor 1000 overall.
http://m.nautil.us/issue/100/outsiders/the-profound-potential-of-elon-musks-new-rocket
Space travel is set to become cheap. It is difficult to overestimate the potential importance of this development. It is entirely possible that human resources will evolve beyond the limits of our single, burned out little planet.”
My meme is mine the moon, get the waste off the earth before it ever gets here; put it on the dark side if need be, out of site, out of mine(not a typo).
We can vote on where to drop the refined metals, consider a remote island in the Pacific, incoming FE? That certainly would end the debate on whether or not we have been to the moon.
Dennis L.
Dennis I am not sure what planet you are on but here on earth we have reached our limits. Elon Musk is a con man who is trying to sell a product “buy this product! it will make you smarter younger and more handsome!!!! Space travel will not be “cheap” ! There is no free lunch…..we have to pay for the shutdown and that will be in the form of a great hyper inflation followed by a great depression….if we make it through that then we might,,,,,might…be where you are talking about. With a great depression comes less revenue taxes etc….
Sam,
Thanks for the note, no arguments, we have made it this far, we will make it the rest of the way. His rockets are going up, they have been to the ISS and returned, I give it some time.
Think in wealth, not so much cash flow which is a liquidity problem, Elon is not alone, Chinese are investing heavily it would appear.
There will be bumps, but some will make it, thus it has ever been.
Denns L.

Would gravity preclude creatures that heavy?
The biggest dinosaur of all time is also the most difficult to pronounce. Weighing in at 100-150 tons, the Amphicoelias Fragillimus lived during the late Jurassic Period. This age was also known as the Tiothnian Period and took place roughly 150 million years ago.
Elephant about 7 tons.
Eddy will freak over this. “You mean thats fake too?”
Hungry Cat,
It really doesn’t make any sense when you stop to think about it. However much you tweak gravity and atmospheric conditions, legs and muscles on something weighing 150 tons…
At least whales have water to carry the weight.
Again… show me the complete bones of the Amphicoelias Fragillimus.
Dennis I want to believe! And sometimes I think maybe just maybe…if the governments would have let a depression happen then yes….but then I read Harry Mcgibbs reports and then I say yes the stories are starting to add up. Its hard to ignore the obvious..Its harvest time…
I know that the Space Solar folks would like to have other groups interested in getting into space, so that efficiencies such as the ones Dennis is talking about can take place.
We don’t think about how important synergies are. For example, the video game makers have needed a lot of computer advances that are helpful to scientists of many types. The fact that there are so many interested in playing video games gives the financial incentives to improve computer technology.
At this late date, when we are already past peak oil, I am not sure that we can count on more and more synergies. Maybe the fracturing that is taking place will reduce synergies, in the future.
And now the incredibly sophisticated hardware known as GPUs (graphics cards) are also used to mine Bitcoin and other cryptos.
Can crypto save the world? Using vast amounts of electricity to create a number that you store in a virtual wallet.
To be fair… not much different to what banks already do and they’re heading more in this direction too. Except trad currency doesn’t require “proof of work” (crunching the algos) to exist. It’s just issued forth using magic.
That is the specialism of my Israeli neighbour, a lecturer at the University.
He told me that the current online-only teaching policy is not going at all well, as he can get no feeling for how well his students are really doing – the exams will tell………
Can only speak for math:
1. Textbooks by Cengage and others are excellent.
2. Answers are available on line in various forms, Mathway will show worked steps of simpler problems, WolframAlpha does it for many more sophisticated problems.
3. MIT has an incredible selection of their courses, many of them now have questions imbedded between lectures, with real time grading.
4. Various Youtube channels are available, not everything is great but blackpenredpen and 3blue1brown are very good, the first for problem sets, the second for animated visuals, probably more in tune with the original derivations of material.
Were I a teacher, I would be concerned, the material is polished, MIT is probably graded by AI, their python course seems that way.
A Ng, Stanford, founder of Coursera and a machine learning course noted that his students liked the idea of being able to replay parts of a lecture; compare this to furiously taking notes and trying to also learn in real time. I take personal notes as it helps me learn, but there is time to skip what is easy and slow down for that which is not immediately clear.
For secondary education, the best students I saw locally were home schooled.
This is a new world, some things will work, some will not, time will tell.

CDC’S NEW UNMASKING RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON BIASED STUDIES
A CNN Report explains the studies behind the CDC’s unmasking recommendations. The bad news is – well, it’s all bad news.
The first bad news is that CDC’s recommendations are not based on studies of the effects of unmasking. At all.
CDC’s initial policy on yes-masking was that 20 layers of cloth were equivalent to the an N95 mask. Then it was changed to 16 layers for a few days. Then a single, paper-thin mask would suffice.
CDC based their latest change on their recommendations re: no-masking on three studies. They did this knowing that the available studies on vaccine efficacy grossly overestimated the efficacy of the vaccines, and that so-called “breakthrough” infections can occur, placing people at risk of true asymptomatic transmission.
Under CDC’s paradigm of “masks prevent COVID19 spread”, this move places people at risk of transmitting the virus unwittingly, even if they are vaccinated, placing people at risk of serious illness and death.
The three studies in question each excluded persons who had had prior SARS-CoV-2 infection, and some reported efficacy ignoring cases that developed COVID19 after the first dose – just like the initial Moderna study that reported 95% efficacy. I had published a revised estimate of Moderna’s vaccine efficacy of around 75%.
Here’s the evidence, directly taken from the studies cited by CDC:
https://jameslyonsweiler.com/2021/05/15/cdcs-new-unmasking-recommendations-based-on-biased-studies/
Have they even managed to prove asymptomatic transmission yet?
https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/27/4/20-4576_article
“The fact that we did not detect any laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 transmission from asymptomatic case-patients is in line with multiple studies (9–11). However, Oran et al. have speculated that asymptomatic cases contribute to the rapid progression of the pandemic (12).”
It sounds like asymptomatic transmission is just speculation…
The article linked above puts in a plug for yet another new treatment for COVID-19, outside of the hospital setting:

UK Clinical Trial Confirms SaNOtize’s Breakthrough Treatment for COVID-19
Patients with a self-administered nasal spray application found to have reduced SARS-CoV-2 log viral load by more than 95% in infected participants within 24 hours of treatment, and by more than 99% in 72 hours
Trial concluded that treatment accelerated clearance of SARS-CoV-2 by a factor of 16-fold versus a placebo
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluated 79 confirmed cases of COVID-19, the majority heavily-infected with the UK variant
No adverse events were recorded in the group
Submission for Emergency Use in the UK and Canada for the treatment and prevention of COVID-19 is planned immediately
This is a strange thing to have in a study linked to by the CDC.
We are running out of sources for the gutsy heavy to blend with the rubbish light that most tight plays produce (posted by Mike Shellman on Oilystuff):
https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/First-Venezuela-Now-Ecuador-US-Refiners-Need-A-New-Source-Of-Heavy-Crude.html
That is a good point. The world needs more heavy sour, but this is expensive to extract and transport. It is among the first to have economic problems when the price of oil is too low.
The article mentions heavy oil from Venezuela and Ecuador. Canada is obviously another place for heavy oil. Biden’s stop to the Keystone XL Pipeline will tend to make growing use of this heavy oil impractical as well.

Bakken needs min of $120 USD per barrel to be viable, before even including investment in new fields.
It’s so bad in general in US tight oil that the “nationalise the oil industry top rpretend and extend” may not even be an option.
Unless a miracle occurs, the USA will be down 6 million plus barrels a day from August 2018 levels by late 2024. Better hope people are still accepting the ponzi $ or it’s Great Reset (aka Western final great bankruptcy) replacement or things will get … jiggy.
When the point of inflection arrives… there is only so much time to roll out a CEP… before 8B people … are left in the dark… permanently.
And unspeakable things happen… in the dark….
Thanks! I know Rune Likvern from my Oil Drum days. I even visited with him in Norway. He usually has good insights.
6 million plus of what? Horse pee good for making rugs?
Perhaps Shale oil was 2/3rds an investment scam and never was a miracle.
Good point SL. The super lights that they are getting out of the plays now are analogous to food fillers in some ways – totally dependent upon the good stuff doing the heavy lifting and provide the calories.
But the psychological impact of those 6 million barrels going … well THAT is significant. Let the “Peak Oil Musical Chairs” begin.
I find this very interesting…..I remember when some political people on here on this site would not admit that shale was a bust because their political team was in power….
I have always thought shale was B.S….now the meme going around is that shale is not profitable because the Saudis dumped so much oil on the market to destroy those companies because Saudis have 100 years of oil(sarc) and can do what they want….etc…
So much mis information……
It’s BS and it’s not BS… it’s not ‘Saudi America’ but it’s what kept us alive from 2008 till now….
It’s what allowed Fast Eddy to get 10 years of full on bucket listing while the doubters kept grinding away accumulating wealth that is going to zero …. I told them they were wasting their time…
Some of them are acknowledging the bucket list strategy and are insisting that once we get past this latest crack up they’ll change gears ….. sorrry folks — there ain’t no second shot at life…. surely GFC should have been the wake up call…
Was it not obvious that nothing was fixed… it was more of the same … only Much MOAR….
Surely that should have made people look for another explanation … and surely such a search would have to land them on the oil story….
But nope – we have plenty of oil…. the world is not ending….
THIS is where Delusion has consequences…. there is no rewind.
Tick tock…. I pity the fools …
I suspect that if the main problem was lack of heavy crude… they bring those countries back online….
Without a doubt the oil problem is far worse than this … and there is no way to mitigate any longer.
This ship is going down…. now do people want to be torn to pieces by the sharks … or take the lethal injection and a bottle of bubbles before peacefully drifting off into blackness.

Dr. Horace Drew is an expert on human DNA. His objection to mRNA vaccines was that it will be integrated with our chromosomes through reverse transcription.
His objection against the Astra Zeneca vaccine is that we do not need to have antibodies against a monkey virus and that we will integrate its genome with our chromosomes through reverse transcription.
This is the first time that these two vaccines types have been tried at a large scale on the human population. No one knows what the result will be.
The “advantage” of a vaccine over a drug is that manufacturers don’t have to bother proving the vaccine is safe. All manufacturers need to prove is that they are effective in slowing the bad results from some pathogen. This makes vaccines cheap to produce, but . . .
Mutations of the virus follow the vaccination program? Maybe so. Or maybe they mutate randomly when they have many hosts? Maybe it’s a little bit of both?
The Palestinians are genetically Jews. They were once the Jews of Judea. Rome renamed the land to Palestine. The Muslims conquered the land and forced the population to convert to Islam. Today the Palestinians are killed by genetically Europeans who call them selves Jews.
Yoshua, the name “Palestine” is far older than Rome. It was given to the area by the Egyptians, after the conquests of Tutmoses III. In other words, it is older than the mythical “Exodus”.
A new controversial study from MIT researchers:
https://www.genengnews.com/insights/eminent-mit-scientists-defend-controversial-sars-cov-2-genome-integration-results/
Some concepts go well over my head but here are some clear excerpts:
“we hypothesized that the SARS-CoV-2, which does not integrate into the genome as part of its normal life cycle, could be hijacked by retroviral-like transposable elements and get integrated. This could give rise to long-term expression of viral sequences, detectable by PCR, in the absence of infectious virus”
“A major reason for the charged emotions regarding this study stems from the wider debate about whether mRNA vaccines could similarly integrate into human DNA with potentially deleterious consequences.”
“Young said, “Ideas that do not conform to the current way we think about a process are very valuable in exploring a new understanding. It was not thought that these coronaviruses have the means to integrate in the genome. We are proposing that that can happen by a mechanism that is LINE1/RT mediated. It’s naturally going to provoke some interesting discussion. We welcome that discussion.””
Thank you.

Okay, I will agree with you, put as many as you can in a large, USPS flat rate box and I shall pay postage on this worthless paper for you and recycle it in an appropriate, earth friendly manner.
Dennis L.
I agree largely StarvingLion. Fantastic points.
The only thing that perhaps could change this however is that you assume rationality in the actors. The Emperor has no clothes, yes. But is he willing to start a nuclear war rather than expose his nakedness? These elites have survived the last 500 years by having no real limits, by escalating beyond the point any other sane human would (e.g. WWI & WWII, Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, 9/11) to retain power. We have a psychopathic survivorship bias in their genes now (ref Political Ponerology etc). They are not rational in the way that is often assumed. They ARE rational, but to an algorithm little understood. If they realise Peak Energy and Peak Resources are here, this is the last double down to perversity they have. They are playing for ‘all’ (well, what’s left of it after the excesses and parasitism of the last 600 odd years) or nothing
Interesting times ahead.
Is this really the noblest, most elevated view you are capable of?
Eddy – your first paragraph’s logic is sound but your premise – that the Jews are first nation – – is very unfounded. Israel was never Jewish as such. This is complete fiction.
Begin with the superb scholarship of say Russel Gmirkin, or heck just read Biblical Archeological Review et al to see. Where is their architecture? Their native inscriptions are so rare as to be treated as holy relics themselves. They were one of many people who back filled their foundation story to make it how they wanted it to be.
You have understandably been taken in by the Platonic story tellers, the shadow on the wall. The Elders have been creating stories for much longer than most realise.

Doesn’t matter who was first….
What matters is might. We can moan and wail all we like about fairness… but does anyone think Israel gives a shit? Does anyone think they will take pity on the Palestinians?
Nope. And nor should they. The Palestinians would do EXACTLY the same things to the J.Ews if the tables were turned.
How true, they would be no different if positions were switched.
It’s fashionable now to lament the defeat of the Arabs and Africans in Spain, ‘all the wonderful high culture’, etc: they forget the massive slave raiding expeditions, the decorating of the walls of their cities with Christian heads – in their thousands! – the mass rapes, the castration of captured boys to make eunuch slaves, etc.
Wales to launch pilot universal basic income scheme
Campaigners hail ‘huge moment’ as first minister commits to trials of payments to cover living costs
A pilot universal basic income (UBI) scheme is to be launched in Wales, the first minister, Mark Drakeford, has revealed.
The new minister for social justice, Jane Hutt, a close ally of Drakeford’s, will be asked to work on the pilot.
Under a UBI system, every citizen, regardless of their means, receives regular sums of money for life to cover the basic cost of living. Its proponents argue that it can alleviate poverty and give people time to retrain and adapt to changing workplaces, be more creative and become more active and engaged.
In the build-up to this month’s elections in England, Wales and Scotland, the UBI Lab Network, a worldwide group of activists, researchers and citizens, asked candidates to sign a pledge promising to put pressure on governments and councils to launch trials. Twenty-five candidates who went on to win seats in the 60-strong Senedd signed up, as did 29 in the Scottish parliament.
Earlier this week a Welsh government spokesperson sounded a cautious note, saying: “In principle, the idea of a universal basic income has its benefits. To introduce this in Wales would require an active commitment from the UK government as the welfare system is not devolved.”
In an interview on Friday with Greatest Hits Radio, Drakeford went further. When asked if he would press ahead with a pilot, he replied: “Yes.”
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/may/14/wales-to-launch-universal-basic-income-pilot-scheme
“In principle, the idea of a universal basic income has its benefits. To introduce this in Wales would require an active commitment from the UK government as the welfare system is not devolved.”
In other words, the scheme will pay the Welsh with England’s money. Colour me totally unsurprised.
Probably very efficient, eliminate all social departments, workers, agencies and use something similar to US Social Security. Give basic income to those individuals administrating the programs, equality for all, very simple. What’s not to like?
No sarcasm, the gulf is becoming so great in societies something must be done to hold them together, other ideas?
Dennis L.
Equality of outcome is un-natural, and unjust, and it disgusts any right-thinking person.
We are not equal, and outcomes should not be so.
I say no to equal reproduction but giving the childless food, water, and shelter until they die is OK.

Dear (REMOVED),
I want to provide you some very important information. I’m a committee member within the Liberal Party of Canada. I sit within several committee groups but the information I am providing is originating from the Strategic Planning committee (which is steered by the PMO).
I need to start off by saying that I’m not happy doing this but I have to. As a Canadian and more importantly as a parent who wants a better future not only for my children but for other children as well.
The other reason I am doing this is because roughly 30% of the committee members are not pleased with the direction this will take Canada, but our opinions have been ignored and they plan on moving forward toward their goals. They have also made it very clear that nothing will stop the planned outcomes.
The road map and aim was set out by the PMO and is as follows:
– Phase in secondary lock down restrictions on a rolling basis, starting with major metropolitan areas first and expanding outward. Expected by November 2020. Expected by December 2020.
– Daily new cases of COVID-19 will surge beyond capacity of testing, including increases in COVID related deaths following the same growth curves. Expected by end of November 2020.
– Complete and total secondary lock down (much stricter than the first and second rolling phase restrictions). Expected by end of December 2020 – early January 2021
– Reform and expansion of the unemployment program to be transitioned into the universal basic income program. Expected by Q1 2021.
– Projected COVID-19 mutation and/or co-infection with secondary virus (referred to as COVID-21) leading to a third wave with much higher mortality rate and higher rate of infection. Expected by February 2021.
– Daily new cases of COVID-21 hospitalizations and COVID-19 and COVID-21 related deaths will exceed medical care facilities capacity. Expected Q1 – Q2 2021.
– Enhanced lock down restrictions (referred to as Third Lock Down) will be implemented. Full travel restrictions will be imposed (including inter-province and inter-city). Expected Q2 2021.
– Transitioning of individuals into the universal basic income program. Expected mid Q2 2021.
– Projected supply chain break downs, inventory shortages, large economic instability. Expected late Q2 2021.
– Deployment of military personnel into major metropolitan areas as well as all major roadways to establish travel checkpoints. Restrict travel and movement. Provide logistical support to the area. Expected by Q3 2021. Along with that provided road map the Strategic Planning committee was asked to design an effective way of transitioning Canadians to meet a unprecedented economic endeavor.
One that would change the face of Canada and forever alter the lives of Canadians. What we were told was that in order to offset what was essentially an economic collapse on a international scale, that the federal government was going to offer Canadians a total debt relief.
This is how it works: the federal government will offer to eliminate all personal debts (mortgages, loans, credit cards, etc) which all funding will be provided to Canada by the IMF under what will become known as the World Debt Reset program. In exchange for acceptance of this total debt forgiveness the individual would forfeit ownership of any and all property and assets forever.
The individual would also have to agree to partake in the COVID-19 and COVID-21 vaccination schedule, which would provide the individual with unrestricted travel and unrestricted living even under a full lock down (through the use of photo identification referred to as Canada’s HealthPass).
Committee members asked who would become the owner of the forfeited property and assets in that scenario and what would happen to lenders or financial institutions, we were simply told “the World Debt Reset program will handle all of the details”. Several committee members also questioned what would happen to individuals if they refused to participate in the World Debt Reset program, or the HealthPass, or the vaccination schedule, and the answer we got was very troubling.
Essentially we were told it was our duty to make sure we came up with a plan to ensure that would never happen. We were told it was in the individuals best interest to participate. When several committee members pushed relentlessly to get an answer we were told that those who refused would first live under the lock down restrictions indefinitely.
And that over a short period of time as more Canadians transitioned into the debt forgiveness program, the ones who refused to participate would be deemed a public safety risk and would be relocated into isolation facilities. Once in those facilities they would be given two options, participate in the debt forgiveness program and be released, or stay indefinitely in the isolation facility under the classification of a serious public health risk and have all their assets seized.
So as you can imagine after hearing all of this it turned into quite the heated discussion and escalated beyond anything I’ve ever witnessed before. In the end it was implied by the PMO that the whole agenda will move forward no matter who agrees with it or not. That it wont just be Canada but in fact all nations will have similar roadmaps and agendas.
That we need to take advantage of the situations before us to promote change on a grander scale for the betterment of everyone. The members who were opposed and ones who brought up key issues that would arise from such a thing were completely ignored. Our opinions and concerns were ignored. We were simply told to just do it.
All I know is that I don’t like it and I think its going to place Canadians into a dark future.

It’s not a “leak”. There’s nothing confidential about that document.
If anything, it looks like it was just a recollection of a discussion, and not policy.
The timing is off throughout the document. And there will be no Universal Basic Income in Canada in 2021.
The document means nothing.
Walmart, Costco drop store mask requirement for customers, employees who are fully vaccinated
Walmart said it is offering a cash incentive and the freedom to work mask-free as part of a push to get more of its workforce vaccinated.

Oregon businesses likely will need to review COVID-19 vaccination cards for maskless entry by customers
Oregon businesses that choose to offer mask-free shopping for people who are fully inoculated against COVID-19 will likely be required to inspect each customer’s vaccination card and check the dates of individual shots, a top state health official said Friday.
That’s the protocol the Oregon Health Authority is expected to adopt when it issues written guidance for businesses in the days ahead. Businesses that don’t want the hassle still will be allowed to require masks regardless of vaccination status.
Dr. Dean Sidelinger, the state health officer and epidemiologist, said verifying vaccinations will be key to ensuring the safety of customers and employees. But, he acknowledged, the shift in federal mask guidance marks a “radical change” and likely will lead to some headaches for local stores.
“Businesses have a choice about which system to implement,” he said, “and individuals have a choice.”
