Many countries have assumed that natural gas imports will be available for balancing electricity produced by intermittent wind and solar, whenever they are needed. The high natural gas import prices recently being encountered in Europe, and especially in the UK, appear to be an indication of an underlying problem. Could the world already be hitting natural gas limits?
One reason few people expect a problem with natural gas is because of the immense quantities reported as proven reserves. For all countries combined, these reserves at December 31, 2020 were equal to 48.8 times world natural gas production in 2020. Thus, in theory, the world could continue to produce natural gas at the current rate for almost 50 years, without even trying to find more natural gas resources.
Ratios of natural gas reserves to production vary greatly by country, giving a hint that the indications may be unreliable. High reserves make an exporting country appear to be dependable for many years in the future, whether or not this is true.
As I see the issue, these reserves are unlikely to be produced unless world oil prices rise to a level close to double what they are today and stay at such a high level for several years. I say this because the health of the oil and gas industries are closely intertwined. Of the two, oil has historically been the major profit-maker, enabling adequate funds for reinvestment. Prices have been too low for oil producers for about eight years now, cutting back on investment in new fields and export capability. This low-price issue is what seems to be leading to limits to the natural gas supply, as well as a limit to the oil supply.
In this post, I will try to explain some of the issues involved. In some ways, a dire situation already seems to be developing.
[1] Taking a superficial world view, natural gas seems to be doing fairly well. It is only when a person starts analyzing some of the pieces that problems start to become clear.
Figure 3 shows that natural gas supply has been rising, year after year. There was a brief dip in 2009, at the time of the Great Recession, and a slightly larger dip in 2020, related to COVID-19 restrictions. Overall, production has been growing at a steady rate. Compared to oil and coal, the recent growth pattern of natural gas has been more stable.
The quantity of exports of natural gas tends to be much more variable. Figure 4 compares inter-regional trade for coal and natural gas. Here, I have ignored local trade and only considered trade among fairly large blocks of countries, such as North America, Europe and Russia combined with its close affiliates.
If a person looks closely at the growth of natural gas imports in Figure 4, it becomes clear that growth in natural gas is a feast or famine proposition, given to upward spurts, dips and flat periods. It is my understanding that in the early years, natural gas was typically traded under long-term contracts, on a “take or pay” basis. The price was often tied to the oil price. This generous pricing structure allowed natural gas exports to grow rapidly in the 2000 to 2008 period. The Great Recession cut back the need for natural gas imports and also led to downward pressure on the pricing of exports.
After the Great Recession, natural gas import prices tended to fall below oil prices (Figure 5) except in Japan, where stability of supply is very important. Another change was that an increasing share of exported natural gas was sold in the “spot” market. These prices fluctuate depending on changes in supply and demand, making them much more variable.
Looking back at Figure 4, natural gas exports were close to flat between 2011 and 2016. Such flat exports, together with falling export prices in the 2013 to 2016 period (Figure 5), would have been a nightmare for oil and gas companies doing long-range planning for oil exports. Exports spurted upward in the 2016 to 2019 period, and then fell back in 2020 (Figure 4). All of the volatility in the growth rate of required new production, combined with uncertainty of the pricing of exports, reduced interest in planning for projects that would increase natural gas export capability.
[2] In 2021, quite a number of countries seem to be ramping up natural gas imports at the same time. This is likely one issue leading to the spiking spot prices in Europe for natural gas.
Now that the economy is recovering from the effects of COVID-19, Europe is trying to ramp up its natural gas imports, probably to a level above the import level in 2019. Figure shows that both China and Other Asia Pacific are also likely to be ramping up their imports, providing a great deal of competition for imports.
It is no surprise that China’s natural gas imports are rising rapidly. With China’s rapid economic growth, it needs energy resources of whatever kinds it can obtain. Natural gas is cleaner-burning than coal. The CO2 emitted when burning natural gas is lower, as well. (These climate benefits may be partially or fully offset by methane lost in shipping natural gas as liquefied natural gas (LNG), however.)
In Figure 6, the sudden appearance and rapid rise of Other Asia Pacific imports can be explained by the fact that this figure shows the net indications for a combination of natural gas importers (including South Korea, India, and Taiwan) and exporters (including Malaysia and Indonesia). In recent years, natural gas import growth has greatly exceeded export growth. It would not be surprising if this rapid rise continues, since this part of the world is one that has been increasing its manufacturing in recent years.
If anyone had stepped back to analyze the situation in 2019, it would have been clear that, in the near future, natural gas exports would need to be rising extremely rapidly to meet the needs of all of the importers simultaneously. The dip in Europe’s natural gas imports due to COVID-19 restrictions in 2020 temporarily hid the problem. Now that Europe is trying to get back to normal, there doesn’t seem to be enough to go around.
[3] Apart from the United States, it is hard to find a part of the world where natural gas exports are rapidly rising.
Russia+ is by far the world’s largest exporter of natural gas. Even with Russia+’s immense exports, its total exports (about 10 exajoules a year, based on Figure 7) still fall short of Europe’s natural gas import needs (at least 12 exajoules a year, based on Figure 6). The dip in Russia+’s natural gas exports in 2020 no doubt reflects the fact that Europe’s imports fell in 2020 (Figure 6). Since these exports were mostly pipeline exports, there was no way that Russia+ could sell the unwanted natural gas elsewhere, lowering its total exports.
At this point, there seems to be little expectation for a major rise in natural gas exports from Russia+ because of a lack of capital to spend on such projects. Russia built the new Nord Stream 2 pipeline, but it doesn’t seem to have a huge amount of new natural gas exports to put into the pipeline. As much as anything, the Nord Stream 2 pipeline seems to be a way of bypassing Ukraine with its exports.
Figure 7 shows that the Middle East’s natural gas exports rose in the period 2000 to 2011, but they have since leveled off. A major use for Middle Eastern natural gas is to produce electricity to support the local economies. Before the Middle East ramped up its natural gas production, much of the electricity was obtained by burning oil. The sales price the Middle East can get for selling its natural gas is far below the price it can get for selling oil, especially when the high cost of shipping the natural gas is considered. Thus, it makes sense for Middle Eastern countries to use the natural gas themselves, saving the oil, since the sale of oil produces more export revenue.
Africa’s natural gas exports have fallen, in part because of depletion of the early natural gas fields in Algeria. In theory, Africa’s natural gas exports could rise to a substantial level, but it is doubtful this will happen quickly because of the large amount of capital required to build LNG export facilities. Furthermore, Africa is badly in need of fuel for itself. Local authorities may decide that if natural gas is available, it should be used for the benefit of the people in the area.
Australia’s natural gas exports have risen mostly as a result of the Gorgon LNG Project off the northwest coast of Australia. This project was expected to be high cost at $37 billion when it was approved in 2009. The actual cost soared to $54 billion, according to a 2017 cost estimate. The high (and uncertain) cost of large LNG projects makes investors cautious regarding new investments in LNG exports. S&P Global by Platts reported in June, 2021, “Australia’s own exports are expected to be relatively stable in the coming years.” This statement was made after saying that a project in Mozambique, Africa, is being cancelled because of stability issues.
The country with the largest increase in natural gas exports in recent years is the United States. The US is not shown separately in Figure 7, but it represents the largest portion of natural gas exported from North America. Prior to 2017, North America was a net importer of natural gas, including LNG from Trinidad and Tobago, Egypt, Algeria and elsewhere.
[4] The United States has a strange reason for wanting to export large quantities of natural gas overseas: Its natural gas prices have been too low for producers for a long time. Natural gas producers hope the exports will raise natural gas prices within the US.
Natural gas prices vary widely around the world because the fuel is expensive to ship and difficult to store. Figure 5 (above) shows that, at least since 2009, US natural gas prices have been unusually low.
The main reason why the price of natural gas dropped around 2009 seems to have been a ramp up in US shale oil production that started about this time. While the main objective of most of the shale drilling was oil, natural gas was a byproduct that came along. Oil producers were willing to almost give the natural gas away, if they could make money on the oil. However, they also had trouble making money on the oil extraction. That seems to be the reason why oil extraction from shale is now being reduced.
Figure 8 shows a chart prepared by the US Energy Administration showing US dry natural gas production, by type: non-shale, Appalachia shale and other shale.
Based on Figure 8, the timing of the ramp up of natural gas from shale seems to correspond with the timing in the drop in natural gas prices. By 2008 (the first year shown on this chart), gas from shale formations had risen to well over 10% of US natural gas production. At this level, it would be expected to have an impact on prices. Adding natural gas to an already well-supplied market would be likely to reduce US natural gas prices because, with natural gas, the situation isn’t “build it, and demand will come.”
People don’t raise the temperature to which they heat their homes, at least not very much, simply because the natural gas price is lower. The use of natural gas as a transport fuel has not caught on because of all of the infrastructure that would be required to enable the transition. The one substitution that has tended to take place is the use of natural gas to replace coal, particularly in electricity generation. This likely means that a major shift back to coal use cannot really be done, although a smaller shift can be done, and, in fact, seems to already be taking place, based on EIA data.
[5] The reason that limits are a concern for natural gas is because the economy is very much more interconnected, and much more dependent on energy, than most people assume.
I think of the economy as being interconnected in much the same way as the many systems within a human being are interconnected. For example, humans have a circulatory system, or perhaps several such circulatory systems, for different fluids; economies have highway systems and road systems, as well as pipeline systems.
Humans require food at regular intervals. They have a digestive system to help them digest this food. The food has to be of the right kinds, not all sweets, for example. The economy needs energy of the right kinds, as well. It has many kinds of devices that use this energy. Intermittent electricity from wind or solar, by itself, doesn’t really work.
Human beings have kinds of alarms that go off to tell if there is something wrong. They feel hungry if they haven’t eaten in a while. They feel thirsty if they need water to drink. They may feel overheated if an infection gives them a fever. An economy has alarms that go off, as well. Prices rise too high for consumers. Or, companies go bankrupt from low market prices for their products. Or, widespread defaults on loans become a problem.
The symptoms we are seeing now with the UK economy relate to a natural gas import system that is showing signs of distress. It is pleasant to think that the central bankers or public officials can fix all problems, but they really cannot, just as we cannot fix all problems with our health.
[6] Inexpensive energy plays an essential role in the economy.
We all know that inexpensive food is far preferable to expensive food in powering our own personal economies. For example, if we need to spend 14 hours producing enough food to live on (either directly by farming, or indirectly by earning wages to buy the food), it is clear that we will not be able to afford much of anything other than food. On the other hand, if we can produce food to live on in 30 minutes a day (directly or indirectly), then we can spend the rest of the day earning money to buy other goods and services. We likely can afford many kinds of goods and services. Thus, a low price for food makes a big difference.
It is the same way with the overall economy. If energy costs are low, the cost of producing food is likely low because the cost of using tractors, fertilizers, weed killers and irrigation is low. From the point of view of any manufacturer using electricity, low price is important in being able to produce goods that are competitive in the global marketplace. From the point of view of a homeowner, a low electricity price is important in order to have enough funds left over after paying the electricity bill to be able to afford other goods and services.
Economists seem to believe that high energy prices can be acceptable, especially if the price of fossil fuels rises because of depletion. This is not true, without adversely affecting how the economy functions. We can understand this problem at our household level; if food prices suddenly rise, the rest of our budget must shrink back.
[7] If energy prices spike, these high prices tend to push the economy into recession.
A key issue with fossil fuels is depletion. The resources that are the least expensive to access and remove tend to be extracted first. In theory, there is a great deal more fossil fuel available, if the price rises high enough. The problem is that there is a balancing act between what the producer needs and what the consumer can afford. If energy prices rise very high, consumers are forced to cut back on their spending, pushing the economy into recession.
High oil prices were a major factor pushing the United States and other major users of oil into the Great Recession of 2007-2009. See my article in Energy, Oil Supply Limits and the Continuing Financial Crisis. In part, high oil prices made debt harder to repay, especially for low income workers with long commutes. It also made countries that used a significant share of oil in their energy mix less competitive in the world market.
The situation being encountered by some natural gas importers is indeed similar. Paying a very high price for imported natural gas is not a very acceptable situation. But not having electricity available or not being able to heat our homes is not very acceptable either.
[8] Conclusion. It is easy to be lulled into complacency by the huge natural gas reserves that seem to be available.
Unfortunately, it is necessary to build all of the infrastructure that is required to extract natural gas resources and deliver them to customers at a price that the customers can truly afford. At the same time, the price needs to be acceptable to the organization building the infrastructure.
Of course, more debt or money created out of thin air doesn’t solve the problem. Resources of many kinds need to be available to build the required infrastructure. At the same time, wages of workers need to be high enough that they can purchase the physical goods they require, including food, clothing, housing and basic transportation.
At this point, the problem with high prices is most noticeable in Europe, with its dependence on natural gas imports. Europe may just be the “canary in the coal mine.” The problem has the potential to spread to other natural gas prices and to other fossil fuel prices, pushing the world economy toward recession.
At a minimum, people planning the use of intermittent electricity from wind or solar should not assume that reasonably priced natural gas will always be available for balancing. One likely area for shortfall will be winter, as well as storing up reserves for winter (the problem affecting Europe now), since winter is when heating needs are the highest and solar resources are the lowest.

Mike, since the official human trials don’t end until 2023, it’s likely that a significant fraction have been given saline placebos. Remember all the instances of “oops, we gave you saline instead of the real jab”?? That is completely crazy and imo un-possible if the “vax” were a real vax.

“If you were in hospice and had already been given a few weeks to live, and then you also were found to have COVID, that would be counted as a COVID death. It means technically even if you died of a clear alternate cause, but you had COVID at the same time, it’s still listed as a COVID death. So, everyone who’s listed as a COVID death doesn’t mean that that was the cause of the death, but they had COVID at the time of the death.” Dr. Ezike outlined.

> US has already lost AI fight to China, says ex-Pentagon software chief
Nicolas Chaillan speaks of ‘good reason to be angry’ as Beijing heads for ‘global dominance’
The Pentagon’s first chief software officer said he resigned in protest at the slow pace of technological transformation in the US military, and because he could not stand to watch China overtake America.
In his first interview since leaving the post at the Department of Defense a week ago, Nicolas Chaillan told the Financial Times that the failure of the US to respond to Chinese cyber and other threats was putting his children’s future at risk.
“We have no competing fighting chance against China in 15 to 20 years. Right now, it’s already a done deal; it is already over in my opinion,” he said, adding there was “good reason to be angry”.
Chaillan, 37, who spent three years on a Pentagon-wide effort to boost cyber security and as first chief software officer for the US Air Force, said Beijing is heading for global dominance because of its advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning and cyber capabilities.
He argued these emerging technologies were far more critical to America’s future than hardware such as big-budget fifth-generation fighter jets such as the F-35.
We have no competing fighting chance against China in 15 to 20 years. Right now, it’s already a done deal
“Whether it takes a war or not is kind of anecdotal,” he said, arguing China was set to dominate the future of the world, controlling everything from media narratives to geopolitics. He added US cyber defences in some government departments were at “kindergarten level”.
He also blamed the reluctance of Google to work with the US defence department on AI, and extensive debates over AI ethics for slowing the US down. By contrast, he said Chinese companies are obliged to work with Beijing, and were making “massive investment” into AI without regard to ethics.
Chaillan said he plans to testify to Congress about the Chinese cyber threat to US supremacy, including in classified briefings, over the coming weeks.
He acknowledged the US still outspends China by three times on defence, but said the extra cash was immaterial because US procurement costs were so high and spent in the wrong areas, while bureaucracy and overregulation stood in the way of much-needed change at the Pentagon.
Chaillan’s comments came after a congressionally-mandated US national security commission warned earlier this year that China could surpass the US as the world’s AI superpower within the next decade.
Google’s self driving car ……
What has Google accomplished in AI really?
Heck, what have the Chinese accomplished in AI?
Chief Software Officer ….. “everything is a software problem”.
This guy is evidently a honey trap to focus attention and drum up crescendo for new budget spending for future “defense” activities in that desired area.. It’s like “oh the Soviets are coming with super silent subs and orbital death star complexes – lets fork out few more trillions..” etc..

I have faithfully served 33 years as an American Airlines pilot and flown over one million people safely all over the world. As an AA 787 Captain, I am threatened to be terminated on November 24th all because of a so-called mandate for a so-called vaccine. I have never felt so completely betrayed and am anxious to join my fellow pilots in this fight. Good for the brave, Southwest Airlines pilots!

I can tell you, as a retired flight attendant, I have worked a few “work to rule’ slow downs, they ARE effective. A glass (when we used to have glass) breaks in the galley…can’t just clean it up at the gate. No, no, rug has be changed out, maintenance has to come, someone has to sign-off logbook, flight is delayed, crew goes illegal, etc,,, this is how it works. You are following the strictest interpretation of the FAA rules. I am beyond THRILLED to see these pilots do this. Selfishly, I don’t want to fly with a blood clotting pilot. Sudafed used to be one of the few “allowed” meds- now a shot with UNKOWN substances and short/long term effects are perfectly fine? Hard pass. Even though I worked for a competing airline and still have flight benefits, I will gladly join their picket line if they strike. And I am not at all pro-union. Bodily autonomy HAS to be the red line.
Good luck with your booster Norman. Its apparent the first two haven’t destroyed your writing skills just yet. Dont you know this is like vegas? Your real lucky if you get to quit while you are ahead.
Send em to school what do they do? Tear out the pages of the books and eat them.
Which version of the experimental gene therapy “vaccine” are you getting injected into your body or do you not care?
I genuinely cant imagine any circumstance where I would voluntarily walk in to a facility and have a experimental drug injected into my body. The last time I got vaccinated was a long long time ago. I dont even know what it was i was getting injected with so i guess im part MOREON too. I started feeling woozie and said i best sit down for a bit. Next thing I knew i was in a strange room with a nurse shaking me with a scared look on her face. But it dint hert me nun. HA! The funny thing is… I only needed that one shot and was protected. How odd.
That however was a real vaccine (I think) you know the old school ones that made a less dangerous version of the disease so your bodies natural immune system would create antibodies. Yes back in the day that is what vaccines were Virginia.
Strange times, jj. Anyway, you know that blowup doll that Normal keeps boasting he has? Well, he was worried he would get the lurgy, so he forcefully vaccinated her against her will. Sadly, she burst. Our Normal is now in mourning after the loss of his plastic partner. Never mind. I’m sending him one of these dolls as a consolation:
I wonder if blow up dolls can feel sad?

I bet she’s hoping norm doesnt return from the clinic…
I heard on Jerry Springer that dunc is getting it on with norm’s girl behind the scenes and when the doll gets the life insurance cash they are going to make a run for the Bahamas…

It’s your own fault, Normal. You were the one who told us about your doll. You were warned that the jab might kill her. And it did. Hang your head in shame, Normal! How many more dolls have you murdered in this fashion? You blowup doll serial killer, you!

just back from clinic, covid booster in one arm–flu jab in the other, bulk discount day apparently
anyway—i was a bit concerned about the bodies lying in the clinic car park–when I mentioned it, i was told not to worry about it, as they were not real people, only crash dummies they had used to practice injection techniques on.
fair enough–i thought.
then of course, bearing in mind all that i had learned on OFW–i asked a few other questions:
Are you , or have you ever been involved in mass murder.? No the lady said. (looking at me a bit funny)
Are you working for Bill Gates to cull humanity? Certainly not she said. Who would pay my wages if I did.? Seemed reasonable. (by this time Id seen her nodding to two large security guardettes.) They didn’t look as if they were about to engage in a Monday afternoon of fun and frolics.
Then what about iron filings in the covid mixture? I said. By this time the guardettes were standing either side of me, ready to pin me down if i put up a struggle over being injected. One I could have handled, but two at my age might have been a problem.
the thought of being held down, while a young nurse sat on my chest to inject me would have been appealing, but i was in a hurry, so i just rolled my sleeves up instead .
she looked disappointed.
I went in the store next door afterwards. Coming out the alarms went crazy. I was arrested for shoplifting but they found thing.——- Still not sure about those iron filings.
WOW – 241 shots at Mengele’s today.
Some guy I know who snorts quite a bit of coke said he was getting the jab because it can’t be any more dangerous than what he puts up his nose every weekend (he said that…really)
Let’s flip that around:
Why don’t you ring up ‘the guy’ and get a Value Pack — I’d go for the one that has coke – heroin – speed and meth… with some bonus weed… then call up the delivery people and get some pizzas and fried chicken + a Big bottle of cola….
Then you and your gal can have a Big One…. don’t worry about the possible effect on your health from all of this … why would you?

Boosters now available for EVERYONE in Israel… not only available… REQUIRED hahahahaaha
Later this month the government will begin enforcing new rules requiring people to get a booster shot of the Covid-19 vaccine or present a negative test if they want to go to restaurants, bars or other indoor entertainment spots. The boosters are needed to keep “Green Pass” Covid passports valid, which authorities view as an effective way of nudging as many people as possible to get a third shot of the vaccine to boost immunity and reduce the virus’s spread through the population.

https://dontforgetthebubbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Needle-damage.png
The more dementia-norm denies that the more everyone is going to say … you misremembered norm… you were the one who posted that blow up doll and told us how happy you were…
Don’t you remember that? We do.
And the more you insist…well the more we’ll remember it
We told you not to get the injections
remember all OFW stuff is archived
Feel free to dig through the archives… everyone knows that you posted shots of you dancing with the blow up doll… we know what we know
How are you feeling – any shooting pains in your chest?
Oh btw – the woman I mentioned the other day who has had sharp chest pains since getting the second Injection … has since seen the doctor and the diagnosis was … drum roll please…………..
Anxiety.
Yep … she’s go anxiety. I am sure he has anxiety – who wouldn’t — if after getting a ‘safe’ injection … you started to get sharp pain in your chest.
My wife asked her if she was experiencing these pains before the vaccine and she no – it all started after jab 2.
eye rolling time
So you are not feeling so good?

How are you feeling though norm? Any chest pains?
If so don’t worry – it’s just ‘anxiety’ (brought on by the chest pain but hey… it will go away)
i am touched by your concern eddy
no one—not even my (real) gf has enquired so much about my health.
Call me an old cynic, but could it be that if this thread was taken up by one of my executors (after my demise) you could stand on your barstool and shout (in caps of course) to all and sundry:
I told you so???
I am still swinging weights at the gym, but will update you if anything untoward should occur
But how are you feeling?
well–as you have warned about so often—i anticipated pains in my chest due to vaxxing, but that did not occur, because the two guardette-bouncers at the clinic did not have to forcibly hold me down, and that rather yummy young nurse did not have to sit on my chest to give me the injections
pity–i was looking forward to that part.
so other that that, i have feelings everywhere in my body
This is a very recent video. This is a little of what the news clip says:
Whilst McCullough – who is a major player in medicine in the US – may not realize that what he is observing is the roll out of the CEP….
But going off the reservation like this — he understands that there is no point worrying about his career — he knows we are facing an epic catastrophe….
A catastrophe so massive and so complete — that it’s worth destroying everything he has accomplished throughout his life. Likewise Bossche.
Effectively what they are doing by committing to this cause – is rubber stamping the CEP.
If they understood what the CEP is — and why it is necessary — they would stop pushing back.
The would know that the CEP is a good thing .. and that any attempt to overturn it is bound to fail – and needs to fail.
Under no circumstances will you see FE protest however if someone tries to force FE to be injected… (because He cannot risk vaccine injury or death)… He would resist that.

Residents of Halba in the northern Akkar province protested at the regional office of the state-run producer Electricite du Liban (EDL). In nearby Tripoli, angry residents blocked roads with cars and burning tyres after power cuts worsened water shortages.
“There is no fuel and limited generation, so the variation in frequency is ruining the grid,” Marc Ayoub, energy researcher at the American University of Beirut’s Issam Fares Institute, told Al Jazeera. “It’s happened about 16 times over the past two weeks because generation is too little compared to what is needed for the grid to reach stability.”

Airline Pilots Revolt Against Mandate By Calling Sick – 1000’s of Flights Cancelled

Explaining why might give others unacceptable ideas
The UK is facing an uncertain winter with the spread of coronavirus and the flu, the head of the Health Security Agency Jenny Harries has said.
People are at “more significant risk of death and of serious illness if they are co-infected” with both viruses, she told the BBC.
She said: “It’s a more uncertain year but I certainly would be encouraging everybody to go and get their vaccine.”
More than 40 million people in the UK are being offered a flu jab this year.
For the first time this includes all secondary school children up to the age of 16.
The over-50s and younger adults with health conditions are also being offered a Covid booster jab this autumn and winter.
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-58862920
Interesting .. so they are wanting to mass vaccine not one but two leaky vaccines … sounds like a great idea!
BTW – they primarily vaccinate at risk people with the flu jab and pre season … because vaccinating the entire population while the flu is raging would create dangerous mutations…
More population wide experiments!
A woman working in a retail store in Auckland’s north shore says she is facing more abuse than ever before during the latest lockdown with customers threatening to attack and kill them regularly.
The retail worker, who wanted to remain anonymous, says they were already dealing with abuse during the first lockdown but this time it’s significantly worse.
“Even before COVID-19 or between the levels it was something we, unfortunately, were used to and we have learnt to brush it off our shoulders…But it is worse than I have ever, ever seen it.
“This time around people just don’t care, they’re not patient, they are fed up and they just don’t care.
“We probably get 80 customers a day who haven’t made an order [online] and have just shown up and around 70 percent of them are irate.”
She says customers are angry they can’t enter the store and have to shop online under alert level 3 restrictions and are taking it out on the staff, even though they have no control over it.
“I’ve been told to kill myself, told they’re gonna burn the place down and kill me. We have been called f***ing useless multiple times daily.
“Told to get f***ed. Flipped off. They hang around outside the doors with their arms crossed waiting for us to leave the building and when we do they yell even more abuse,” she says.
The woman says she’s never had to call the police because of threats as much as she does currently.
“We all have to leave through the back car park which is barricaded so if they are waiting for us we can see and we won’t leave. When customers are here and they haven’t taken no for an answer they will hang around at the door and when other people come to collect their order we have to explain, ‘We are really sorry but we have to wait a moment until the police arrive and move the abusive customer along’.

Tell then to go to the houses of the politicians.
Serious revolutionaries go after the offspring….
Some might call that extreme… some might call that … an excellent chess move.
It would also be hugely entertaining to watch mummy squirm… imagine the anxiety when the post man arrives with a small package….
We are living in times unlike those in recent history. The closest thing in the past was the World War I, World War II, and Depression era, especially in Europe and Russia. There truly were shortages. People were angry and worried, I expect. Jews were the outcast group then.
Now angry shoppers take their unhappiness out on store clerks. No wonder it is difficult to hire help.
Just a comment about the ‘character’ of individuals: As we see now we are living in a time where the masses (seem to) clamor for totalitarianism. Why can the masses not see that they are being useful idiots, ‘riveting the chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers’ to paraphrase Jefferson? It is easy to dismiss them as morons or idiots for stupidly accepting the narrative fed to them by those who wish them to go along with their agenda. (This is not a comment on the mindset of the elites/managers or the politicians/media that enact the dictates given to them, this comment is about the vilification of the masses that go along with them)
The vilification of people as idiots or morons seems to fall into the ‘simple solutions for simple minds’ paradigm; reality being much more complicated. I have watched a couple of the interviews with Dr. Mattias Desmet, some that were posted here, and they were quite illuminating. In addition Dr. Robert Sapolsky’s book Behave: The Biology of Humans at our Best and Worst is quite relevant to this subject. While some have suggested that the fear of death is a primary motivating factor behind human actions, Dr. Sapolsky says that are actions are influenced by:
“. . . blood glucose levels; the socioeconomic status of your family of birth; a concussive head injury; sleep quality and quantity; prenatal environment; stress and glucocorticoid levels; whether you’re in pain; if you have Parkinson’s disease and which medication you’ve been prescribed; perinatal hypoxia; your dopamine D4 receptor gene variant; if you have had a stroke in your frontal cortex; if you suffered childhood abuse; how much cognitive load you’ve borne in the last few minutes; your MAO-A gene variant; if you’re infected with a particular parasite; if you have the gene for Huntington’s disease; lead levels in your tap water when you were a kid; if you live in an individualistic or a collectivist culture; if you’re a heterosexual make and there’s an attractive woman around; if you’ve been smelling the sweat of someone who is frightened. On and on. . . .”
As most of these influences are unconscious; it really calls into question the notion of free will. Do people know what they are doing and why? Most likely not…It reminds me of the Buddhist notion of anatta – no self, and dependent origination – nothing arises without a cause. Sapolsky says that we have the idea that there is a little man or woman at the center of each of us that makes independent decisions regardless of how our biology or environment is influencing us – unfortunately this doesn’t appear to be the case.
It is more like we are observing a play; we act a part, others act their part, events and circumstances swirl around us and all we can do is observe – consciously or unconsciously – we just observe. As Desmet said, we should speak up of course, but we should find a place to get out of the way until this totalitarian fever blows itself out….
People used to have the church and their family to give them guidance on how to live. With all of the energy the world has had, it has become increasingly secular. Everyone does their own thing. Except this isn’t working either. People want stability. Politicians want order. Totalinarianism seems to fill the bill.
One of the interesting things to come up from the Chris Chan community is that several normally-irreligious Kiwi Farms commenters have expressed the wish that Chris would have stayed active in his church, because at least they would have reinforced basic moral principles like “Don’t have sex with your mother.” Instead, Chris adopted a worldview in which he himself is the deity of a cartoon multiverse. And he raped his elderly mother.
I’m leaning towards determinism, but it’s hard to prove either way. For me, (to have) ‘character’ means being able (or inclined) to make independent choices (as opposed to just follow the orders), and/or to have endured hardship without succumbing, thus becoming more ‘resillient’ and gathered confidence to deal with future hardships.
So ones ‘character’ is only known after the fact. As is any other piece of information we gather. Stuff happens in the world and we piece the puzzle together and discuss what should have been done instead, hindsight is 20/20. But the way history unfolds can only happen the way it does, so there’s the determinism again.
Thanks for the recommendation … next up as Fast Eddy continues to expand his knowledge database even though he will soon be dead.

Thinking of the lady that M Fast spoke to the other day who’s all jacked up on jabs and has myocarditis — and wasn’t even aware of it…
I asked M Fast about this and the woman has had the chest pains for nearly a month now — she’s mid 30’s and fit…. and it did not occur to her that it was caused by the jab – even though it started the day after jab 2…
She only pieced it together when M Fast mentioned what happened to our friend in HK..
And she seemed unconcerned about it saying ‘I should get that checked out’…
Can you imagine taking any other injection or drug and you started having sharp chest pains and NOT panicking… and not going to the ER — but instead ignoring the pain and hoping they go away.
Hahahahahaha… this is beyond ridiculous.

At least two more years until collapse.
I think collapse is a process. We are already in it. It likely will get worse over time.
The likely process of collapse should exhibit which graphical forms? This is something I think you, GT, could assess beyond anyone. What is shrinking is merely systemic accommodations. Humans are the concordant and contrarian entities that perpetuate/antagonize this rollycoaster and these efforts to modulate during systemic infarction is all the evidence a mind requires to assert intrinsic design failure. This edifice will succumb to ideological malfeasance before any cherry pushes THE BUTTON. This is why BOTH EXTREMITIES wish to eliminate history and PLAY AGAIN.
This is the chart that Ugo Bardi has up on his website:
https://ourfiniteworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/senecacliff.jpg
He quotes Lucius Anneaus Seneca (4 BCE-65 CE) as saying, “It would be some consolation for the feebleness of our selves and our works if all thing should perish as slowly as they come into being; but as it is increases are of sluggish growth, but the way to ruin is rapid.”
He also says, “Collapses are not a bug, but a feature of the way the universe functions and we have to live with them.”
https://thesenecaeffect.blogspot.com
The Seneca Curve is basically similar to the outcome of the Limits to Growth Model. With the whole economic system as complex and interconnected as it is today, it would seem as though the economy could collapse more quickly than smaller, more local civilizations.

https://www.france24.com/en/asia-pacific/20210912-why-china-is-developing-a-game-changing-thorium-fuelled-nuclear-reactor
“There’s another advantage for China: this type of reactor does not need to be built near watercourses, since the molten salts themselves “serve as a coolant, unlike conventional uranium power plants that need huge amounts of water to cool their reactors”, French newspaper Les Echos noted. As a result, the reactors can be installed in isolated and arid regions… like the Gobi Desert.”
“they should implement reforestation”
In the main, people are too stupid for that. Geoff Lawton’s “Greening the Desert” project failed because, once given back to the goat-herders, they couldn’t think of anything better to do but turn their goats out on it. Gnam gnam.
His subsequent project secured private ownership and was doing better last I checked (some years ago).
Dear PTB, I have asked you repeatedly to lower the population from eight billion to one hundred million. This panic to surveillance state is not contributing. We need weaponized Ebola or Marburg. The longer you wait the more the biome is damaged and lost.
We need to get back to our historical population of 1-5 million, but let’s skip that near extinction 65 million years ago.
1 Billion? lol!
one billion! I said 0.1 billion
1-5 million would have been prehistorical, wouldn’t it? Around the time of Christ world population was probably around 100 million.
And long before that, at the dawn of history in Mesopotamia and Egypt, they were able to build extensive irrigation systems and put huge areas under agriculture and had such a big surplus population that they were able to construct huge pyramids, hanging gardens and the like.
P.S. include me and my family in that 100 million, not the other more ons.
It would be wise to include OFW regulars as they are well adjusted to the NWO from years of thinking about it.
Maybe only the younger people from OFW. The small population needs people who are young enough to do hard labor and to have children.

URGENT: A Southwest Airlines pilot explains why you will not hear anything about vaccine mandates from his union – and why Southwest has more flexibility than it admits to stand up to the White House
Alex Berenson
Oct 10
The pilot emailed following the first Southwest post today (and provided his SWA ID to prove his identity). He asked that I paraphrase the email.
Essentially, the union cannot organize or even acknowledge the sickout, because doing so would make it an illegal job action. Years ago, Southwest and its pilots had a rough negotiation, and the union would not even let the pilots internally discuss the possibility of working-to-rule (which would have slowed Southwest to a crawl).
But at the moment the pilots don’t even have to talk to each other about what they’re doing. The anger internally – not just among pilots but other Southwest workers – is enormous. The tough prior negotiations notwithstanding, Southwest has a history of decent labor relations, and workers believe the company should stand up for them against the mandate. Telling pilots in particular to comply or face termination has backfired.
https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/urgent-a-southwest-airlines-pilot/comments
We’d do well to think about this. I live just where a main highway meets a local dirt road. For safety reasons when I occasionally work on the roads, I do so more on the dirt road.
I did some hard work on both roads between yesterday and today. I use a (decades-tested) paper-pulp base that can combine with very hardening agents. It acts as an almost free source of energy, and my labor energy is volunteered. To level the fill, I depend (for the mainroad) on the abundant through traffic running over it. On the dirt road I use my own car to roll and level it.
If we use cars systematically, and have local, county or state agencies control traffic, I could see this work being scaled up to provide more jobs (or fill in where official workers go absent). My approach is lower tecch, cheaper–I could see a new class of workers charging much much less–and it removes mountains of paper from landfills. This approach could be one of numerous ways to create new employment.
Dear Ed, we’ve figured out that the most effective way to lower the population to the level that you desire, is to allow the ecosystem to collapse first.

“A little slow today tonight isn’t it Lloyd?”
My report:
Was getting ready to visit my longtime college wrestling teammate in Schenectady, NY tomorrow with a stop on the way to Buffalo from here in western NC when I got a call this morning saying he didn’t feel “safe” with me visiting since I had not been vaccinated even though I had COVID over a year ago. He said he had been vaccinated twice earlier this year, and had a reaction of some sort after the second one, but is waiting to get his booster. (Moderna). I could sense in his voice how anxious he was and suddenly did not want me to visit because I had told him yesterday I not been vaccinated since I now had natural immunity. I thought nothing of it when I told him.
I tried to tell him that since he had been vaccinated but that he had never had COVID ( or at least had never been tested or gotten sick), he was actually more at risk of spreading the spike protein disease, not me, and that I would stake my life on it that he could not give it to me. He was more concerned about catching it from me. My daughter is also unvaccinated because she was a PCR confirmed case along with the typical signs and symptoms of COVID last year. Her required tests every two weeks at NC State have always come back negative, as I would expect since acquired natural immunity means you have the two features of immunity: 1) No viral particles in your body, and 2.) therefore being sterile, you can not transmit it. PCR doesn’t test for T -Cell immunity or early on antibody titers which naturally subside anyway. I tried to inform Hal that since the vaccines deliver such a narrowly focused “immunity” he was the one more of a risk of transmitting it to someone else, and that I was not worried one little bit about catching it from him. That was not enough for him. FE is right. The world has taken leave of its senses.
In other news, I see how Duke Energy has the capability, I guess from a monitor on its electric power panels in the laundry room to break down my “Energy use by category” in addition to the total combined power consumption read from the outdoor meter in the apartment complex. These panels were installed by GE 15 yrs ago…. or were they replaced before I arrived her 4 years ago? The monthly breakdown of the categories on my colorful “Home Energy Report” for September are: Kitchen $11.00, Lighting $10.00, Electronics $5, Laundry $3.00 (pU, I stink) and Always On $1.00. Average annual YoY energy use 286 kwh, with an efficient use average in comparative apartments of 1,032 KwH. Where do they get this kind of data? So if my lighting percentage goes up, they will send the DEA breaking down my door because I will be presumed to be growing mushrooms under the lights?
I have always conspiracy-theorized that TPTB want to get everyone on these kinds of monitored meters just as they would like to get everyone on digital currency. It’s about control. But before that comes the need for information. E.g., Gun registry before confiscation. Also EV vehicles, as controlling /cutting off power needed to recharge EVs would be more effective in restricitng travel via a flip of a grid control switch compared to controling gas can collection for an ICE vehicle. I guess I am a little anal/paranoid as I will be transporting four full 20 L Nato jerry cans with me on the trip in case they decide to shut down the pipeline again, LOL.

Hat tip to Rosa Koire.
We have a village well that’s under village management. The board is gung ho about smart meters. The ease of using them–just drive by and have TOTAL data on the house meter roll onto your computer as you pass by. (5G might be involved but I’m not sure). Meanwhile, people and their devices might increasingly fall prey to that level of data collection themselves–but don’t tell anybody that. So the old way of reading meters was hideously difficult and expensive. One solution I can imagine would be to ensure that each house has 1000G water catchment and fill those up for a flat monthly fee. No meters. When pigs fly the board will get around to even giving that a second thought. In similar vein, I try, and recommend, keeping ICE vehicle topped up. No, you’re not paranoid at all.
Hubs, configure your router to transmit only ip dresses in custom MAC table. That way no internet of things appliances with internet embedded can transmit to the external world.
FE, I have to concur that brain horsepower does really matter specially if you try to talk to people. I have given up in explaining to people so that they understand
Fun with CovIDIOTS:
1. Always tell them how disappointed you are that Singapore and Israel who vaxxed early are seeing record spikes in infections and that the CDC has admitted the vaccines don’t stop you from getting covid… no need to admit being aniti-vax… just plant a nice seed in their minds (create anxiety … >>> anxiety = misery)
2. Invent multiple people that you know who has been vax injured…. personalize the story rather than point to the faceless VAERS … create a cousin … a friend or two … they’ll never ask for details… they won’t want to know…. again anxiety = misery
3. My favourite is to create an uncle who is a doctor — or even a virologist… if you want to be cheeky you can say Byram Bridle is your uncle on your mother’s side… and say that you spoke to him and he is advising to wait on taking the vaccine because it was invented in a matter of months and there is no long term testing … hard to argue with that… again it’s all about sowing uncertainty… stress… leading to misery.
Those were your instructions, Comrade Eddy. You weren’t supposed to post those. It’s like reading the stage directions out loud.
I am sorry FE, in my place here, talking to a wall is better as I can perhaps try to hear an echo

Alcohol abuse in the elderly group on the rise:
https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2021/09/experts-note-rise-in-alcohol-use-among-older-adults/
Rising alcohol use among older adults
“Alcohol use in older adults has been trending upward over the years, particularly among women. One epidemiologic survey determined that in the United States between 2001 and 2013, among people 65 and older, the rate of alcohol use disorder increased 107 percent. The University of Michigan’s 2021 National Poll on Healthy Aging found that although the majority of older adults surveyed were drinking alcohol at low to moderate levels, there was a subset of older adults exceeding the recommended guidelines for alcohol use. In particular, 20 percent of respondents drank alcohol four or more times per week; 27 percent reported having six or more drinks on at least one occasion in the past year; and 7 percent reported alcohol-related blackouts.”
The recovery community had a decent transition to online and hybrid meetings during the pandemic. In rhe beginning, I was on an accesibilities committee in a US state capitol and we helped to reach out to treatment centers and other institutions about online meetings. Struggling to find or maintain recovery for the first time or after relapse during a time when it was easy to use the virus as an excuse to isolate and drown sorrows is a common story these days. With all my questions surrounding the lockdown and vaccines and experiences with agitprop and targetting I have to admit that my participation in personal recovery has changed. However, I have found some relief gathering with sober people outside formal meetings. One of the most important things to do if you’re struggling is to ask for help, find some humility and be open to istening to people’s experience, strength and hope. This attitude can also be helpful in duscussing outside issues that affect the global community.
There are an awfully lot of older adults who are alone most of the time. Enforced shutdowns added to this problem. I imagine the loneliness adds to the tendency of some to use alcohol as a solution.
The energy crisis of Poland:
https://youtu.be/rkl-ul23UmM
https://www.politico.eu/article/poland-carbon-price-conundrum/
“The EU’s Emissions Trading System is aimed at putting a price on CO2 emissions to encourage investment in low-carbon sources of energy. With the price of a ton of carbon topping €60 — 12 times more than four years ago, that price signal is becoming increasingly painful in Poland, which generates about 70 percent of its electricity from highly polluting coal.
It’s causing squeals of complaint from Polish utilities and worry from politicians who fear the impact of rising power prices.”
No nuclear power, no alternative for Poland.
If I were in Poland, I think I would think about leaving the EU and its Emissions Trading System. Let countries without coal stay in.

– Year of disruption ahead for Britain’s food, fuel, gas and labour markets, ministers fear (ministers = senior politicians)
– Shipping crisis set to last for at least six to nine months, with global logjam hitting Europe
– Couple of sub headlines about CV19, re economic pain of applying more lockdowns this winter

‘But a senior government source said questions over storage were “a complete red herring” and ruled out increasing capacity in future, telling i: “We would be moving in the opposite direction to the rest of the world if instead of decarbonising we started storing more gas” ‘.
I wonder if the senior government source is an economist?
2/ “Johnson urged to maintain Government’s fracking ban.”
As mentioned elsewhere, fracking currently banned in the UK due to earthquakes. The gist of this article is propaganda from the fracking industry to bring back fracking. Example:
‘But Katherine Gray from UK Onshore Oil and Gas said that the looming [gas] crisis was a “bizarre state of affairs” when gas beneath Northern England and the Midlands could “meet the UK’s demand for 50 years” ‘. Reminds of the coal below the North Sea, which allegedly could also meet our needs for 50 years. Except we don’t extract any coal from below the North Sea, and never will.
3/ “Slaughterhouses report CO2 shortages again”
“Slaughterhouses and meat processing plants across the UK have begun to report shortages of carbon dioxide once more, i can reveal, meaning that pork could soon start disappearing from supermarket shelves”.
Pork is currently cheap in UK supermarkets, I don’t know how the pig farmers make any money.
The article does not explicitly say what is the cause of the current shortage, but hints:
“It [shortage of CO2 nationwide, UK] comes after two fertiliser factories in northern England, responsible for 60% of Britain’s CO2 supply, paused production in September after soaring natural gas prices meant CO2 manufacture was no longer viable.
The Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng was hailed for averting chaos in the food sector as he secured a deal a week later with CF Industries, which runs the two factories, to reopen its Billingham plant for a three-week-period. However the British Meat Processors Association said it had received no updates on whether the contract would be renewed, with the deal due to expire on Tuesday”.
One plant, for three weeks? Sounds like a plan to ensure shortages.
I remember the Winter of Discontent. The NHS hospital porters were on strike. The fire brigade was on strike, and the army stepped in with their Green Goddesses (green fire engines). Even the grave diggers were on strike. Our Normal, here on OFW, is very old now. What would happen if he died unexpectedly, as the advert says? I asked Normal for a comment. He replied: “Sheesh!”
It seems like people in the UK will soon want to migrate somewhere else.
Clif High makes extreme claims on Chinese food production, down 30% in 2020, down 50% in 2021. Does any one have data on Chinese food production?
Reliable data on Chinese food production is very difficult to get hold of. The CCP invariably lies about anything negative occurring in China. What tends to be reliable is data on the amount of food they import, and earlier this year they were importing grains at record levels. 30% last year maybe, seems a bit high though. 50% this year, I doubt it. China-in-Focus has not mentioned any catastrophic food harvests this year (last year was another matter with the flooding and typhoons). Did he give reasons for a halving in food stocks for this year?
Corn harvest was going to be excellent but last minute rains have dampened that prospect:
“Heavy rain across northern China this week has delayed the corn harvest, submerged fields in water and raised concerns about the quality of the crop in the world’s second largest producer, analysts and farmers said on Friday.”
https://www.reuters.com/world/china/heavy-rain-hits-china-corn-harvest-raises-quality-concerns-2021-10-08/
China seems to have an amazing list of problems.
This is very true but USA more or less in the same boat. not exactly the same problems but similar or other issues on systemic level. Perhaps USA is in more dire situations because:
– the industrial base and production capacity has been shrinking for 30 years and what is left is not enough to support the population without international trade
– USA does not have direct control over its monetary policy the same way China has (command economy/monetary autharcy)
– China is more or less very homogeneous in terms of ethnicity and USA is fracturing along ethnic (and not only ethnic) with increasing speed
– USA is very polarized in political terms (even inside the 2 parties) and party supporters are ready to gun out the other side
– USA populace has no experience in dealing with any kind of real hardships in the last ~70 years while chineses still has strong memories and instincts from such situations
– In case of revolution USA is in worse position given that americans are the most heavy armed population and it would be extra hard for army/MP to restore order. chinese populace is not into guns and rarely some ordinary citizen posses a gun (and PLA and the CCP have fresh experience in stopping revolutions).
This is not comprehensive comparing, just some arguments from the top of my head which I think give clear outlook to possible trends.
The US will collapse first.
It’s amazing how many problems you end up having when you try to manage everything.
I found an article from Sept. 29 by Bloomberg called, World Food Costs at Risk of Soaring as China Faces Tough Harvest

Hey Harry… any good news? Sort if miss good news… like some sunshine and rainbow skittles? Seems that if MSM is getting more gloom, then it is really gloomy….
How about this, CTG?
BBC radio had a piece today in which an avuncular doctor advocated getting some house plants, to feel better and beat all those toxins in enclosed spaces.
That’s quite feel-good, isn’t it?
But don’t forget to get the vaxx too……
The BBC is a reality-free Neo-Fascist zone these days.
There are not enough resources for everyone, I am afraid. The “green pass” is a way to cut some people out from using the resources.
And to convince the reluctant ones to get injected…. I wonder if once they pluck most of the high hanging fruit then few that remain … get parked in quarantine camps….
At that point when it hits majority it actually doesn’t matter: quarantine camp, lower rations, extra levies / sanction / taxes / forfeitures, .. assuming slow progress of die-off or mental decline and such effects..
But in scenario of more rapid depop, and elites retreating into their MIC/CoG enclaves, the refusniks will be left to their own devices aka without support in the wild out there.. why expend any resources on them..
Green pass sounds like a disaster for a lot of people.
Among the protesters were members of extreme right-wing groups who extended their arm in a ‘Roman’ fascist salute.
Yes of course… they are fascists… and some of there were snorting blow too!
“[This was] an attack on democracy and on the world of work that we are determined to repel,” Maurizio Landini, secretary-general of CGIL, said in a statement. “No one should think they can take our country back to the Fascist years.”
Hahahahahaha….
At what point do protesters embrace fire and commit to a We Burn You Burn (literally) strategy…
This could take us in an interesting direction with martial law rolling out to deal with such an outcome.
I doubt it will come to this.

In fact cinda did not promise any such thing… she only said ‘you will only be able to fly international on Air NZ come Fed IF you are vaxxed’ The desperate CovIDIOTS interpret that as ‘if you are vaxxed you can fly overseas without quarantine on the way back’
Hope is a cruel mistress….

“The sharp global rebound from the coronavirus recession “appears in danger of stalling” amid supply bottlenecks, surging energy prices and rising inflation, according to an exclusive research for the Financial Times…
“The findings indicate that policymakers will no longer simply be able to boost spending power without serious risks.
““Policymakers in many major economies now face the difficult conundrum of supporting growth while keeping inflation under control, even as they continue to be hit by domestic and external supply disruptions,” said Eswar Prasad, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.
““Additional stimulus measures, especially monetary easing, are likely to yield an increasingly unfavourable trade-off between short-term benefits and longer-term vulnerabilities.””

For a better explanation of what COVID is or isn’t, Postkey sent me this. Dr. Fleming weeds out anything remotely resembling whacky, and presents himself like the scientist’s scientist. He makes no mention of energy, however, and overlooks the overriding energy decline’s requiring shutdowns of economies to obviate flying and keep people off the streets. It’s hard to see how his recommendations for better management of the pandemic can work around this huge missing piece.

This is a video from March 21, 2021. Some of us have seen it before. It is good, however.
Russia has started to fill Nord Stream 2 with natgas for tests and building up pressure in the pipeline.
Russia doesn’t have all the natgas in the world. They can’t fill the pipeline and storage at the same time.
Russia has natgas fields that are expensive to develop? Ukraine can’t afford that natgas. Russia needs a customer who can afford the natgas: Germany.
Russia needs Nord Stream to make those natgas fields economically viable?
https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/nord-stream-2-starts-filling-pipeline-with-gas-tests-2021-10-04/
Putin says that Russia has natural gas fields that are expensive to develop and take long lead times. I think the fairly new Australian natural gas field was somewhat of this type. Putin’s statement is easy to believe. The question is whether any country can really afford high-priced natural gas.
“Putin says that Russia has natural gas fields that are expensive to develop and take long lead times”
The poster child example being the Shtokman gas field. According to Wikipedia:
List of natural gas fields
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_natural_gas_fields
Shtokman is the fifth largest gas field in the world, it really is huge. What makes it different from all the other 21 listed is that while all the others are at various stages of depletion, zero gas has come out of Shtokman. (No. 9 on the list , Groningen in the Netherlands for example, is either shutting down next year, or shut down already. Not due to lack of gas but because the gas extraction is causing earthquakes. The same reason fracking was banned in the UK 2 years go.)
Shtokman sits below the Arctic Ocean, “The field so far was not developed owing to extreme Arctic conditions and the depth of the sea varying from 320 to 340 metres (1,050 to 1,120 ft)”.
Shtokman field
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shtokman_field
Shtokman was discovered in 1988. The market price for gas has never been high or stable enough to develop Shtokman, and even if the decision was taken to go ahead to develop it tomorrow, it would take maybe 10+ years to get the gas to market, in the best of circumstances. Just as Putin states but few in the UK believes. You have to wonder if it ever will be developed. A bit late now.
The old problem of notional ‘reserves’.
If you can’t plough or graze livestock in a ‘field’, is it really one?
Or just waste ground?
We have known about a lot of natural gas potential resources for a long time, but at least at one time, we assumed that the price would never rise high enough, for long enough, to extract and deliver some of the gas to customers. Shtokman field is one example.
This: “In New Zealand, people can drive with open bottles of alcohol in their cars as long as they remain within the legal blood alcohol limit. Women have the highest number of sexual partners in the world—an average of 20.4 during their lifetime (the global average is 7.3).

basically all animal species must conform (to a greater or less degree) to the established rules of the group of which they are a part.
those rules are broadly based on property/ territory , or physical relationships
those who do break those rules are either ostracised or killed
it’s only in the last few years that we’ve been able to relax those rules
From this, I can only conclude that New Zealanders drink and fornicate because they are forced to.
not being a drinking man, i can only agree with the latter
This is a book review by Alice Friedemann of a book called Rule Makers, Rule Breakers: How Tight & Loose Cultures Wire Our World.
It seems like high energy per capita goes with loose cultures. But not exactly.
Also:
‘Tight’ and ‘Loose’? This woman is an idiot. What a level of analysis!
I had a hard time believing that Norway was “tight.” Maybe they were years ago. But with all of their oil, my impression was that things had changed. I think Norway’s secret to low COVID numbers is a high vitamin D level. That may be true in a number of the other countries as well.
Keeping people in their homes certainly hasn’t worked very well most places, in terms of keeping COVID down.
Norway is super tight trust me Im a norwegian living in Norway. Norwegians generally eat a decent amount of vit D contains foods and take cod liver oil. I think we are generally pretty healthy.
Thank you for the reminder. I will add CLO to my shopping list this very instant.

Rather amusing, and perhaps accurate: a Kiwi female friend did describe her home as a land of totally uncultured, promiscuous, drunks.

Ya’ll have learned something new today
From today’s Debt Rattle by Ilargi:
https://swprs.org/the-wef-and-the-pandemic/
The WEF has been involved in the coronavirus pandemic in several ways.
First, the WEF was, together with the Gates Foundation, a sponsor of the prescient “Event 201” coronavirus pandemic simulation exercise, held in New York City on October 18, 2019 – the same day as the opening of the Wuhan Military World Games, seen by some as “ground zero” of the global pandemic. China itself has argued that US military athletes may have brought the virus to Wuhan.
Second, the WEF has been a leading proponent of digital biometric identity systems, arguing that they will make societies and industries more efficient, more productive and more secure. In July 2019, the WEF started a project to “shape the future of travel with biometric-enabled digital traveler identity management”. In addition, the WEF collaborates with the ID2020 alliance, which is funded by the Gates and Rockefeller foundations and runs a program to “provide digital ID with vaccines”. In particular, ID2020 sees the vaccination of children as “an entry point for digital identity.”
Third, WEF founder Klaus Schwab is the author of the book COVID-19: The Great Reset, published in July 2020, which argues that the coronavirus pandemic can and should be used for an “economic, societal, geopolitical, environmental and technological reset”, including, in particular, advancing global governance, accelerating digital transformation, and tackling climate change.
CEP looks more and more realistic every day.
Propaganda + population control in “times of less”.
What not to like? 1984 soft so far.
Wars or revolutions… tough choice for the elites.
The World Economic Forum and the Club of Rome are both European based. I am wondering if Europe’s shortfall in energy reserves underlies their focus on trying to work around problems with more use of control and with renewables. They certainly cannot admit that running short of energy supplies would be a problem.
Of course, the Gates Foundation is US based, as is the Rockefeller Foundation. So perhaps everyone things they can get ahead the same way.
The virus infects stem cells.
Long Covid patients are not getting better, they are getting worse.

Thanks so much for the link. That led me here, to some impressive research for further investigation, on “A SITE OF COVID-19 RELATED HYPOTHESES” :
http://wmcresearch.org/
For example, on cancer :
http://wmcresearch.org/sars-cov-2-and-the-essence-of-cancer/
“It usually takes time. Sometimes years, often months, occasionally weeks. From the first signs to the diagnosis to the harrowing cachexia, weakness and helplessness that advanced, wide-spread cancer inexorably proceeds toward. The awful rowing towards death.
And yet, doctors refuse to believe this is happening. Biosecurity “experts” refuse to acknowledge their supreme failure. Governments unwilling, out of fear and/or desparation, to confront a superpower on its horrific abuses of science and brutal betrayal of humanity.
Enough. Shame on the academics using the very tools of apologetics they despise in the religious, to continue their narratives that this is “just a natural virus.”
IT IS NOT. This is a bioweapon (let’s be clear, SPIKE PROTEIN, the virus is just a distraction) without parallel. This is why China did everything possible to contain it. It is the equivalent of detonating the world’s nuclear reserves. This is NOT an exaggeration.
Perhaps what the governments are now doing is merciful? I do not know. Perhaps they believe it is better to “get it over with” and expose everyone to the now inevitable.
As a wise doctor said to me “every time you get COVID you age 5-30 years.” And so this is why children are, temporarily spared. They can “afford” to shed 5-30 years, a time or two.
For the mechanics of doom, cancers ferment glucose in the presence of oxygen, suggesting that defects in mitochondrial respiration may be the underlying cause of cancer. If SARS-CoV-2 does nothing else, it does this. Mitochondria integrate catabolism, anabolism, and signaling. All these go awry in SARS-CoV-2. Another metabolic hallmark of cancer is involved in severe COVID. Dyslipidemia.
It is time. Time to confront what we are actually dealing with. Time for doctors and governments to come clean, and let the world know. At this point, I believe most would find it a relief. The continual manipulation, lies deceit and trickery are no longer working. For most of us, they never did.”
AND
http://wmcresearch.org/cancer-cachexia-can-appear-before-any-detectable-tumor/
“If one replaces “Tumor” in the attached image with “COVID-19″ one has a clear clinical picture of COVID, and Long COVID. Please read the attached paper. It is paramount.
It is now clear that patients present markers of tissue wasting at a stage in which tumor is not yet clinically detectable.
A genetically modified mouse (Cre recombinase) was able to have cancer cachexia induced through manipulation of KRAS. The major genetic event in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is the activating point mutation of the KRAS oncogene; the KRAS protein becomes permanently activated, consequently maintaining the cellular processes of proliferation, transformation, invasion and survival. I can find no studies addressing k-Ras in COVID-19. Perhaps this is a marker to be investigated.
Cardiac alterations are typical in cancer patients and ultimately results in heart failure and arrhythmia, which are two of the concurring causes of death during cachexia. Both of these factors have been observed in Long COVID.
Another observation in Cancer Cachexia is low Albumin levels. These are present in COVID and have been considered to be a predictor of outcome. Additional investigation into pathogenesis of COVID with particular focus on Spike Protein signaling may provide additional insight into the processes at work.”

http://wmcresearch.org/sars-cov-2-is-an-international-depopulation-bioweapon/
“SARS-CoV-2 IS AN INTERNATIONAL DEPOPULATION BIOWEAPON. IT IS NOT JUST CHINA. ALL “MEDICAL” BUREAUCRATS ARE AGAINST IVM BECAUSE IT INHIBITS THE ACTIVITY OF MICRORNAS. THESE ARE NEEDED TO CREATE/ACTIVATE THE NEWLY CREATED ENDOGENOUS SPIKE PROTEIN FACTORY IN GENETICALLY In susceptible individuals, the virus reverse transcribes itself into DNA. This allows for the continual production of VIRAL FRAGMENTS. It is entirely possible that your body will forever (until you die of cancer, neurodegenerative disease, or clots) produce spike proteins.
It MUST be immediately investigated if spike is being produced in recovered patients. It must be determined if any mRNA/spike protein therapies continually produce S protein. Do they ALWAYS “turn off?”
I FEAR IMMINENT, UNAVOIDABLE CATASTROPHE.”

Requires roo much energy and coordination. Too complex to work in a low energy world. Perhaps they think it is ideal but implementable? Nah….
Well, CTG, I am quite sure Hitler was surprised when his all-conquering tanks ran out of petrol.
The thing is, they had a Plan, and put their people into place over the decades; they have sprung the trap, and we walked right into it…….
What harm can they do before it all collapses? A lot.
Personally, if I am to starve, I wish to do so a free man, as I was born – not block-chain-incorporated eating bloody insects!
I see your point, CTG, but then I’m reminded of the absurd continuation of efforts like Bitcoin and Bitcoin “mining.” Too much energy. Too much coordination. Too complex to work in a low energy world. Yet, for some reason, it continues.
Bitcoin just seems to me to be the Nth level of “energy needs to be burned up for no particular reason except to burn up energy”.
Despite the low energy prices in Russia, Russia depopulates fast, because it is not just the energy prices, but the complete logistics of supplying hostile areas, which is a huge energy sink.
The hostile areas will always be supplied from the areas suitable for human species. Russia MUST act responsibly, the same way as Canada, otherwise the mild areas stop to supply the areas like Russia or Canada with the products they need.
The problem is that todays production of high-tech goods requires a lot of subcontractors from all around the world and they are mostly situated in areas with high population density and mild clmt.
High population density in the hostile clmt is simply unsustainable.
The clmt chng makes various current mild clmts hostile, which further wrecks the whole system.
Europe seeks to diversify its energy suppliers in the era of the costly energy. Money can and will be created as needed to keep the system functioning. However, it is true that the instability of the energy prices must be avoided. But how?
Cold countries typically have high energy consumption per capita. This puts them at a competitive disadvantage, if energy costs are high. If a country is spread out, like Russia or Australia, that adds to energy use as well.
Russia’s energy consumption per capita for 2020 was 194 gigaojoules per capita. Sweden consumed 217.8 gigajoules per capita. Norway consumed 356 gigajoules per capita, with its big oil and gas industry.
Germany consumed 145 gigajoules per capita. The UK consumed 102 gigajoules per capita. Spain consumed 106 gigajoules per capita. Italy consumed 97 gigajoules per capita.
The US, with its low energy costs, consumed 265 gigajoules per capita in 2020. Australia’s energy consumption per capita was 218 gigajoules per capita.
There’s an enlightening channel on YT, ‘Yeah Russia’ by a young student from a provincial town in the east. She travels about a bit and it gives a good view of average life I’d say.
That is very interesting Gail.
I think that matching gigajoules per capita and degree of energy independence for each Country, we could understand why some Countries chose authoritarian politics, such strict lockdowns and then green pass.
Because if you see Italy with 97 gigajoules per capita, this Country should have less problems in comparison with others, but politicians decided anyway for authoritarian politics with strict lockdowns and then in second phase with green pass for every worker.
So that probably depends on the degree of energy independency of each Country matched with gigajoules per capita.
For instance, in this website Italy seems to be at the 4th place (if I have undestood correctly the ranking should be in order of energy dependency from more dependent indicated as number 1 to less dependent indicated as number 26).
It says so:
——————-
‘Number 4. Italy
– Annual energy consumption: 1,733 terawatt-hours (17th of 44 countries reviewed)
– Annual energy production: 392 terawatt-hours (36th of 44 countries reviewed)
– Annual CO2 emissions from fuel combustion: 350.1 tons (18th of 44 countries reviewed)
– Electricity generated from renewable sources: 40.5% (13th of 44 countries reviewed)
– Population: 60.3 million
Italy produces only a small percentage of the total natural gas it consumes annually. Much of its natural gas imports come by pipeline from Russia. Though Italy has relatively small proved reserves of crude oil, it is one of the continent’s major refining hubs. Italy imported $35.1 billion of crude oil and exported $13.9 billion in refined petroleum in 2019.
The Italian government has heavily subsidized renewable energy production in the country in recent years, and as a result, between 2000 and 2016, the share of electricity generated by wind and solar climbed from 1% to 18%. Today, renewable sources, including hydro, account for over 40% of electricity production in the country.’

Gail, I think maybe you have better data and you can definitely give a better understanding of all this.
My impression is that energy dependency and gigajoules per capita are in connection with authoritarian politics (or not) of each Country about Covid-19.
Instability of energy prices will not be avoided anywhere except in Russia (and possibly Iran, Arabia, Qatar and a few other places). I agree that Russia will not increase its population, but it will not decrease either. In a simpler economic system Russia is fairly self-sufficient…
Agree, but as seen in recent debate (video link) on worsening Lebanon blackouts they rely on help from Iran sending them huge truck convoys of various fuels. But this “help” is mostly vaporized on “frivolous” activities like youth joyriding around Beirut, and not to starve (cooking, tending small veg farms).. Basically the energy goes to slowing pace of ongoing collapse and providing some fun time to overpop inhabitants.
There is no leverage factor from this energy, tourism is beyond dead parrot there, trade hub gone,”investors” bailed out long ago etc..
In a way Iran is gaining nothing from this, unreliable unstable mess, energy think hole, while much better (at least security coalition) leverage would be sending the fuel to Syria instead.. which I believe they do as well.
lol, that must be a subconscious fart, “energy sink hole” ..
see Lebanon for what it is:
the future for all of us.
Yep, if you digest the key aspects of their ongoing stair case descent it’s very creepy almost to the book exercise – sort of pre warning prelude for all of us..
Although this is still very much an outlier case, basically all ext inputs overdependent enclave, and that’s also why they are joining the ride down with the “first wave” of way poorer 2.5-3rd world countries elsewhere..
dress rehearsal
now all the performers are waiting in the wings
just not quite sure when the show will begin
Seems like the latest update ft. very apt summary: .. it started as 3hrs duration outages only, then it was 3hrs of running electricity per day, nowadays there is none at all..

ps still socially joyriding around, wtf..
The Lebanese ‘joy-riders’ are probably militia members, smugglers – they seem to get the cream of everything in such situations.
They are also known for reckless shooting on the slightest pretext: anger, celebration, just for fun…..
It’s a warning to the Wise Virgins among us to trim our lamps, as recommended by Our Lord long ago ……
Maybe not for you norm… still time to cancel
Ultimatly, but in the near term Lebanon would seem to’ve been expressly targeted, as were Libya and Syria.
Well that did not take long. The Tories are poised to reject the ‘sausage’ offer and to set ‘red lines’ that the EU is very unlikely to meet. A feeling is growing that any concessions by the EU will be interpreted as weakness, and that only a very strong retaliation would be understood by the Tories.
Arguably the EU has already come close to embarrassing itself by conceding any modification to an already agreed deal – and it could now redeem itself by using its ‘sausage’ concession to claim a ‘high ground’ for harsh measures. We will have to wait and see what happens – more next week.

> Trade war looms as UK set to spurn EU offer on Northern Ireland
EU leaders urged to push back against No 10’s brinkmanship over role of European Court of Justice
Fears that the UK is heading for a trade war with the EU have been fuelled by strong indications from the government that proposals to be unveiled in Brussels on Wednesday over Brexit arrangements do not go far enough. The Brexit minister, Lord Frost, will use a speech in Portugal on Tuesday to say that scrapping its prohibition on British sausages to resolve the dispute over the Northern Ireland protocol do not meet the UK and unionists demands. The peer will call for “significant” changes to the post-Brexit agreement he negotiated, including over the role of the European court of justice, something the EU is highly unlikely to concede to.
“Without new arrangements in this area the protocol will never have the support it needs to survive,” he will warn on the eve of a significant move by the EU to resolve the row.
Ireland’s foreign minister, Simon Coveney, reacted with incredulity at the UK’s “red line” and its timing just days before what he said was a “serious” offer from the EU. He tweeted: “EU working seriously to resolve practical issues with implementation of Protocol – so UKG creates a new “red line” barrier to progress, that they know EU can’t move on… are we surprised? Real Q: Does UKG actually want an agreed way forward or a further breakdown in relations?”
…. Mujtaba Rahman, the managing director of the Eurasia Group consultancy, warned in a note to clients on Saturday that the absence of concessions on the ECJ will give Frost the justification for triggering article 16, the mechanism for putting the Northern Ireland protocol into formal dispute process or putting it into abeyance by disapplying the arrangements altogether.
“There is a huge amount of cynicism in the EU about what the government’s actual objectives are. Is it to fix substantive issues in Northern Ireland or is it to keep an ideological fight with the EU rolling because it serves certain sections of the Tory party?” said Rahman. “The French president and the German chancellor and the European Commission president cannot wake up every single day to a new argument with Boris Johnson. At some point they need to send a stronger simpler message. Use of a termination clause within the trade and cooperation agreement itself can be triggered unilaterally and would fully suspend the zero tariff/quota trade deal between the two sides.”
This speaks for itself, and the entire extracts are consult.

> EU and UK edge closer to trade war over London’s NI protocol demands
ECJ role in overseeing key part of Brexit deal is a red line, says Brussels, but Frost set to repeat call to remove it
The UK and the EU edged closer to a trade war on Sunday after Brussels rejected London’s demands for a comprehensive rewrite of the Brexit deal’s contentious Northern Ireland protocol.
The European Commission reiterated that it would not agree to remove oversight of the protocol by the European Court of Justice, a UK demand that Lord David Frost, the UK Brexit minister, will repeat in a speech on Tuesday.
The commission declined to comment on Frost’s demands directly but pointed to a speech on October 7 by Maros Sefcovic, its Brexit chief, in which he ruled out renegotiating the protocol. An official added that the ECJ’s role was a “red line” for Brussels.
Sefcovic said in his speech that ECJ oversight came up just once in his meetings last month in Northern Ireland. “I find it hard to see how Northern Ireland would keep access to the single market without oversight from the ECJ,” he told a webinar.
On Wednesday, Sefcovic will publish proposals to drop many checks on goods deemed unlikely to leak from Northern Ireland into the EU single market via the Republic of Ireland.
But around half the customs and health checks would remain, a situation considered intolerable by the UK government and the Democratic Unionist party, which is part of Northern Ireland’s administration.
However, legal experts believe Frost would run into problems in the domestic courts if he tried to use Article 16 — the override mechanism in the protocol — because the EU refused to end the role of the ECJ.
George Peretz, QC at Monckton Chambers, noted that the protocol specifies that Article 16 could only be used where there are “serious economic, societal or environmental difficulties that are liable to persist, or to diversion of trade”.
If it triggered Article 16 over the ECJ, the UK would “face likely defeat in the domestic courts”, he said on Twitter.
That could mean the Johnson administration faces either the possibility of a battle in the courts or the need to introduce new legislation, which would potentially run into opposition from the House of Lords.
It would also face retaliation from the EU’s 27 member states, who have accused the UK of trying to renege on a deal it signed two years ago.
“If the UK chooses a path of confrontation and triggers Article 16, the consequences will be far reaching and felt throughout the UK,” an EU diplomat warned. “It is very disturbing that the UK still does not do enough to implement the agreement and pretends not to have known the consequences of an agreement it wanted, negotiated, signed and ratified in the first place. Friends and allies don’t treat each other like that.”
he Tories are set to invoke article 16 of NIP, potentially this week. They may be constrained by UK courts, as FT indicates, and face retaliations from the EU. In the worst case scenario, the EU would eventually suspend the entire Brexit deal, and trade and supply lines would seize up. It seems very seriously daft.
I will refrain from invoking an ‘epiphenomenal dissipative’ interpretation, at least for now. Clearly, energy flows are subsiding. UK heavy industry potentially faces a shut down this week due to the energy crisis, and falling profitability, which is what the other talk is about – a right mess. Companies are now desperate for government support.
A person might recall that the whole lot of them were comatose on beaches while untold thousands of Brits were trying to evacuate Afghanistan. Catatonic seems to be the new posture – good luck with that. They can all ‘go on holiday’ when the grid shuts down along with the entire economy and the petrol stops pumping. ‘Ahead of the curve’?

> Boris Johnson news – live: UK will override Brexit NI protocol ‘if EU solutions fall short’, as PM on holiday
The UK will override parts of the Brexit withdrawal agreement if upcoming EU proposals amount to “tinkering around the edges”. The EU is expected to announce an end to the so-called Sausage Wars this week with new proposals for the sale of British chilled meats in Northern Ireland, but Brexit minister Lord Frost is expected to ask for further concessions.
A government source told the PA news agency that the UK would trigger Article 16 of the Northern Ireland Protocol – suspending parts of the agreement – if the EU proposals are found to be unsatisfactory.
Labour accused the government of putting its “out of office on” during a string of crises. Boris Johnson is reportedly on a week-long holiday in a luxury villa on the Costa del Sol.
His trip comes as millions of households will see the costs of living rise during the energy price crisis, removal of the temporary uplift in Universal Credit benefits, supply chain issues, and higher taxes from next year.
Shadow chief secretary Bridget Phillipson said: “In the teeth of a crisis of its own making, the Govt has put its out of office on.
“The PM has gone on holiday, no one knows where the Chancellor is, and this morning we understand the Business Sec has entered the realms of fantasy.”
Her comments came after Kwasi Kwarteng, secretary of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), said on Sky News that he was working closely with chancellor Rishi Sunak to help companies survive the energy price crisis.
Cuckoo land!
…. Treasury sources told Sky News: “This is not the first time the BEIS secretary has made things up in interviews. To be crystal clear, the Treasury are not involved in any talks.”
Mr Kwarteng had said: “What I’m very clear about is we need to help them get through this situation – it’s a difficult situation, gas prices, electricity prices are at very high levels right across the world and of course I’m speaking to government colleagues, particularly in the Treasury, to try and see a way through this.”

Anomalies have been reported by people in south-west England over the past week, with one public health official saying they were aware of a “high number” of inconsistent test results, according to reports by the i newspaper.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), which replaced Public Health England at the start of October, said it did not believe there were problems with any testing kits and added that there was no evidence of a new variant.
Dr Zoe Price’s daughter Rosie was one of those who developed symptoms earlier this week. She had positive lateral flow test results, but then had two negative PCR tests.
The 14-year-old later spent a day in hospital after becoming dehydrated as a result of the illness.
Price, an A&E doctor from Bath, told the Guardian: “She became ill on the Tuesday and had a vomiting bug, and I think a few people have started vomiting and being off school. She did a lateral flow, and we thought, ‘It’s not going to be Covid,’ but it was strongly positive. And she did multiple ones, and they were positive, and so did some of her friends.
“Then she lost her sense of smell, which is a classic Covid symptom – but she had a PCR that was negative, her friend had a PCR which was negative, and she went on to have another one which was negative.”
It was only when she was admitted to hospital that doctors gave her a “rapid PCR” kit, which finally came back positive.

Mutations manifesting???
I would wonder whether mutations are manifesting, as well.
X-Men ………
That’s it! We’ve cracked the scamdemic: it’s just like when Magneto created the Mutant Conversion Machine on the island of Genosha with the intention of using it to turn non-mutant humans into mutants. The idea was, if everyone became mutants there would no longer be tension between the non-mutant and mutant populations of the world; peace on Earth would be achieved. The problem, though, was that the mutations generated by the Conversion Machine were short-lived and ultimately resulted in cellular breakdown and death.
In short:
1. COVID-19 injections = Mutant Conversion Machine
2. “Vaccinating” the global population = making everyone the same = peace on Earth
3. mRNA = short-lived mutations that result in cellular breakdown and death
Boom. There it is. Case closed.
Guardian & all the other MSM = 99.9% guaranteed BS. Master’s voice. We can never forget this.
I agree JMS, it’s to be regarded with great caution.
Part of the ‘sick even if the test is negative’ fear narrative. Also note the sick 14yr-old.
We should note the change in the UK from ‘Public Health’ to ‘Health Security Agency’: this implies that if you don’t comply, or get sick, you are a threat to national security….
Let the dying begin….
Easy to see how this could end up with people locking themselves in …
All that is necessary is for this to be real .. and happening on your street.

The use of improper language makes people believe that we are flying to the space and conquering it. In fact, we are navigating in the space like sailing-vessels in the ancient times, as we do not have energy to fly where and when we want.
The same false story is the story of our electric future: we do not have enough electricity to run the cars solely on electricity. So the story is presented like a fight of hydrogen with electricity over the supremacy, when, in fact, there is no fight, there is scarcity of both hydrogen and electricity.
it’s the narrative of Progress.
most living adults have experienced some progress perhaps even much progress.
it’s been a real experience, but because it has been the background base for most of us, it is very common for the average person to not question the continuation of progress, but assume that past progress is the universal norm and that future progress is mostly certain.
since most politicians and MSM members are merely in this “average person” group, not OFW higher level systems thinkers, it is obvious that the belief in progress will persist, and probably past the time when the Periphery has mostly collapsed, oh it’s just them poor folks and good thing it’s not us.
it is what it is.
even when a majority in the Core are collapsing into poverty, the narrative may persist that progress should return soon.
it has begun as a creeping slow decline, and will likely continue on this slow dull downward slog at least in the Core, so we can expect that most people will be clueless as to the permanence of economic decline.
it’s all good, perhaps it should just be accepted by those who see the actual reality, and just make the most of each day, even as the near future will be worse and the farther future will be dire destitution for most people, perhaps by the 2040s for the Core, though the 2030s look shaky at best.
I can see 2022 from my house.
It is almost impossible to be politician without believing in progress. You wouldn’t get any votes.
Maybe there are a few green ones not believing in progress, but most of them do also. The rest lie.

English translation of Putin’s tele-meeting on the development of the energy industry via videoconference.
The meeting was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, presidential aides Igor Levitin and Maxim Oreshkin, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Alexander Kozlov, Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov, Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, Energy Minister Nikolai Shulginov, Head of the Federal Anti-Monopoly Service Maxim Shaskolsky, governors and heads of major energy companies.
Very interesting.
Putin and the other speakers sound very responsible, alongside the crazy things that Europe has done over the years. It was interesting to hear about the available gas fields. They are high cost, hard to develop fields. It took 50 years to develop Yamal. These might take a long time to develop as well.
One of my neighbours (83yo) was very big wig in the martial sports (judo, aikido, wrestling) until mid 90s when he retired as 2nd in cahrge of some kind of international association. Few days ago he was showing me his photo albums (the analog ones with yellowed photos). He pointed to one particular photo where he was standing with the winner of some russian regional tournament (where he was judge) in the 70s. Guess who was the winner
Putin?
Yes.
I was going to guess Steven Seagal.
Segal invited a group of us to his house after a Tibet march.
It was generous, but I don’t think he liked me.
Interesting. Why you think he didn’t like you? Did anything particular happened or it was a general vibe kind of thing.
He could tell I was amused on his Buddhist gig.
And the Prime Minister of Pakistan is a former cricket player.
