I frequently write that the world economy is, in physics terms, a dissipative structure that is powered by energy. It can grow for a time, but eventually it reaches limits of many kinds. Ultimately, it can be expected to stop growing and collapse.
It seems to me that the world economy is showing signs that it has reached a turning point. Economic growth stopped in 2020 and is having trouble restarting in 2021. Fossil fuel energy of all types (oil, coal and natural gas) is in short supply, relative to the world’s huge population. Ultimately, this inadequate energy supply can be expected to pull the world economy toward collapse.
The world economy doesn’t behave the way most people would expect. Standard modeling approaches miss the point that economies require adequate supplies of energy products of the right kinds, provided at the right times of day and year, if they are to keep from collapsing. Shortages are not necessarily marked by high prices; prices that are too low for producers will bring down the energy supply quickly. A collapse may occur due to inadequate demand; in fact, such a scenario is described in Revelation 18.
As strange as it may seem, we may be approaching what some of us would think of as end times, if our economy collapses for lack of cheap-to-produce energy supplies. In this post, I will try to explain what is happening.
[1] In some ways, the self-organizing economy is like a child’s building toy that, with the use of human energy, can be built up to higher and higher levels.
The economy is gradually built up by the addition of new customers, new businesses and new products. Governments play a role as well, adding new infrastructure, laws and taxes. Adequate wages for employees are important because, to a significant extent, employees are also consumers of goods and services made by the economy.
Adequate energy supplies of the right types are terribly important because every process used by the economy requires energy, even if the only energy used is electricity to light a light bulb or operate a computer. Heating and cooling require energy, as does transportation.
Human energy is an important part of the economy, as well. Humans eat food to provide them with energy. An individual human’s own energy output is relatively tiny; it is about equal to the output of a 100-watt light bulb. With the use of supplemental energy of various kinds, humans can do many tasks that would not be possible otherwise, such as cooking food, creating metals from ores, heating homes, and building cars and trucks.
The economy cannot “go backwards” because, if a product is no longer needed, it will no longer be produced. The economy represented by Figure 1 is in some sense hollow inside. For example, once people started using automobiles, buggy whips were no longer made. If cities went back to using horses as their main means of transport, we would need manure removal services. These, too, would be missing.
[2] Another way of thinking about the world economy is that it is somewhat like a rocket that needs fuel. It also has waste outputs. Both of these limit the growth of the world economy.
The economy uses a wide array of inputs. At the same time, it produces a whole host of undesirable outputs. Inputs need to be inexpensive to produce, or citizens will not be able to afford the goods and services made by the system. The waste outputs cannot become too significant, or they can lead the economy to fail. In fact, with the world’s growing population, we seem to be reaching many limits with respect to both inputs and undesirable outputs, simultaneously.
[3] Strangely enough, the major energy limit that the world economy is hitting seems to be “energy prices that do not rise high enough for producers.”
This energy limit is exactly the opposite of what most people are looking for. They assume that “demand” will always rise. In fact, the cost of production of energy products keeps rising because the easy to produce energy products are produced first. It is the market prices that energy products can be sold for that do not rise adequately.
When we trace the problem back, we discover that the problem with prices arises from the equivalence between producers of goods and services and consumers of goods and services indicated on Figure 1. In order to have enough “demand” to keep energy prices high enough for providers, it turns out that even the very low wage people in the world economy need to be able to afford necessities such as food, water, clothing, basic housing and transportation. In fact, if the cost of extracting fossil fuels rises too quickly because of depletion, or if the cost of getting renewable electricity into a form in which it is useful for society rises too much, there may be a situation when even a price based on full demand from all consumers is too low for energy producers.
Let’s define “return on human labor” as what a person without advanced training can earn by selling his physical labor as unskilled labor. Rather than dollar or euro terms, wages need to be thought of in terms of the physical goods and services that these wages can purchase. If supplemental energy per capita is rising rapidly, the return on human labor tends to rise. This happens because with higher energy consumption, humans can have more tools and technology requiring energy at their command. For example, the period between 1950 and 1970 was a time when energy consumption was rising rapidly. It was also a time of rising standards of living, even for workers without advanced training.
The world economy can be expected to run into a major problem once supplemental energy consumption per capita starts falling because then human labor is necessarily less leveraged by fewer machines, such as trucks and airplanes. In total, fewer goods and services can be produced.
If energy supply is inadequate, businesses often find it advantageous to substitute computers or other machines for some work previously done by low paid workers. While these machines use a little energy in their operation, they do not need food, housing or transportation the way human workers do. With fewer actual workers, demand for finished goods and services tends to fall, pushing commodity prices, including those for fossil fuels, down. This further adds to the low-price problem.
It is the lack of jobs that pay well that tends to hold down commodity prices below the prices producers require. Ultimately, it is the lack of sufficient jobs that pay well that tends to bring the whole economy down. Most researchers have missed this important point.
[4] In the period leading up to collapse, wages fail to rise with the cost of required services. This leads to increasingly unhappy workers. Healthcare costs and college costs are especially problematic, because their costs have been rising faster than costs in general.
Figure 4. Illustrates the issue that seems to be occurring:
When energy consumption per capita is growing rapidly, the economy adds items that were not previously considered necessary. Instead of a basic education for all being sufficient, advanced education (often paid for by the student) becomes necessary for many jobs. Healthcare costs keep rising rapidly, making it more difficult to make wages cover all necessary expenses (Figure 4).
We can see additional evidence that workers have been tending to get poorer in recent years by looking at the trend in the number of light vehicles purchased. With rising population, a person would expect the number of automobiles sold to increase, year after year, if citizens found their incomes as adequate as in the past. Instead, we see a pattern of falling automobile sales, practically everywhere, starting well before 2020. For example, peak light vehicle sales in China occurred in 2017.
[5] An increase in debt can temporarily be used to hide both inadequate inexpensive-to-produce energy supply and inadequate wages of workers, but we seem to be reaching limits using this approach to hide energy problems.
The last time the world had relatively stable low oil prices was in the years prior to 1973. As noted previously, low energy prices tend to make finished goods, such as homes and cars, inexpensive to buy and operate. Thus, they tend to be affordable.
The big issue if oil and other prices rise very high is that the selling prices of goods and services tend to rise too high to be affordable to consumers. The workaround that was developed to fix this unaffordability problem was to change the economy to use more debt. To be affordable, interest rates had to fall lower and lower. Peak interest rates occurred in 1981; they have been trending downward since then.
If debt at ever-lower interest rates is available, assets such as homes, farmland, factories and shares of stock become more affordable, allowing prices of these assets to rise. Owners of these assets feel wealthier. In fact, they may borrow more money against the inflated price of these assets and use this money to buy more goods and services made with commodities, thus helping to raise commodity prices. The lower interest rates make the purchase of automobiles more affordable as well, helping to raise the price of commodities used to make and operate automobiles.
There is a limit on how low these interest rates can go, however, especially if inflation is a problem. Current interest rates seem to be down near where they were during the Great Depression of the 1930s. This suggests that the economy is truly doing very poorly.
Today, Brent oil prices are about $69 per barrel. This price is not high enough for producers to want to prepare more fields for drilling. As far as I can see, the price needs to be up in the range of $120 per barrel, and stay there for many years, for oil producers to consider putting major effort into developing more fields. Natural gas and coal have similar low-price problems.
While governments cannot seem to be able to fix the low-price problem for fossil fuels, they can find ways to pay their citizens money for doing nothing, or next to nothing. These payments will add to a government’s debt, but they don’t really produce more goods and services. What these payments tend to produce is inflation in the prices of goods and services that are available.
Over time, we can expect the lack of growth in energy supply to lead to an increasing number of broken supply lines. Without long-term high-price guarantees, producers will not be willing to increase production. Without adequate fuel supply, an increasing number of products will disappear from the shelves of stores. A smaller number of people will have jobs, especially jobs that pay well. The economy can be expected to head in the direction of collapse.
We can think of debt as a promise of future goods and services, made with future energy production. If energy supplies are rising rapidly and can be expected to continue to rise rapidly in the future, this promise can be expected to hold. Of course, if energy supplies start falling, all bets are off. Supply lines are likely to break. We consider money and other securities issued by governments to be a “store of value,” but, if there is little to buy (for example, all international flights are cancelled and automobiles of the desired type are permanently out of stock), its ability to act as a store of value will start to disappear. If the economy collapses completely, neither stocks nor bonds will have value.
[6] Nothing happens for a single reason in a self-organizing economy. Lack of energy affects every part of the economy, from jobs to finished output, almost simultaneously.
In a self-organizing economy, everything is interconnected. Inadequate energy per capita leads to low selling prices for commodities of all kinds. Inadequate energy per capita also leads to low wages for workers, low benefits provided by governments, and uprisings to protest these low wages and benefits. These uprisings began in 2019 or even earlier.
The unhappiness of workers leads to the election of increasingly radical politicians, in the hope that something can be done to fix the problems. There are basically not enough goods and services to go around, but no one wants to admit that this could be a problem.
[7] Citizens cannot imagine a declining and eventually collapsing economy. Businesses, governments and individual citizens all demand “happily ever after futures.”
If there is a history of growth, nearly everyone is happier if forecasts pretend that economic growth can continue forever. Newspapers want such stories, because this is what their advertisers, such as automakers, want. Automobiles need to be usable for a long period in the future. Universities want favorable forecasts because they want their students to believe that their degrees will have great future value. Politicians want a story of growth forever, because this is what voters want and expect. They have come to believe that governments can save them from all problems; there is no longer any need for religion.
As energy supplies get scarce, the rich tend to become richer and the poor tend to become poorer. François Roddier explains that this is because of the physics of the situation. Wealthy individuals and corporations discover that they have a rapidly growing ability to influence the narrative provided by Mainstream Media. If influential citizens and groups want citizens to hear a “happily ever after ending” to our current problems, they can make certain that this is the predominant narrative of Mainstream Media. It is only people who are willing to hear sources outside of the mainstream who can learn what is really happening.
The fact that the world economy would run into energy limits about now has been known for a very long time. For example, US Navy Rear Admiral Hyman Rickover talks about the close connection between energy and the economy in this 1957 speech. He points out that the world is likely to run short of fossil fuel by 2050. Later modeling documented in the 1972 book The Limits to Growth indicated that the world economy was likely to collapse in a similar timeframe. The modeling done in that analysis considered rising population relative to total resources, without looking at energy resources separately.
[8] It is easy to create models that predict growth will continue forever, even if the physics of the situation says this is not possible.
Economists provide their work to politicians. They certainly cannot provide forecasts of a coming calamity such as economic collapse. They also are unaware of the physics of the situation, even though many researchers have been writing about the issue from a physics point of view since at least the mid-1980s.
Economists have chosen instead to make models that assume no limits are ahead. They seem to assume that all problems will be fixed by innovation, substitution and the pricing mechanism. They produce forecasts suggesting that the economy can grow endlessly in the future. Based on these forecasts, they provide input to models that reach the conclusion that amazingly large amounts of fossil fuels will be extracted in the future. Based on these nonsensical models, our problem is not the near-term limits that we are reaching; instead, our chief problem is climate change. Its impacts occur mostly in the future.
A corollary to this belief system is that it is we humans who are in charge and not the laws of physics. We can expect governments to protect us. We don’t need any outside help from a literal Higher Power who created the laws of physics. We need to listen to what the authorities on earth tell us. In fact, in troubled times, governments need more authority over their citizens. The many concerns regarding COVID-19 make it easy for governments to increase their control over citizens. We are told that it is only by following the mandates of governments that we will get through this strange time.
With nearly everyone on board with the idea that somehow the story of near-term collapse must be avoided at all costs, every part of the economy bases its actions on the narrative that the world economy is voluntarily moving away from fossil fuels. In this narrative, renewables will save us; electric vehicles are the way of the future; the world economy can continue to grow, but in a new way.
In fact, we are colliding with resource limits, right now. This seems to be what produced the bizarre situation experienced in 2020.
[9] As 2020 began, many sectors of the world economy were squeezed simultaneously. With limited energy resources, large parts of the economy needed to be cut back. The self-organizing economy acted in a very strange way. Shutdowns supposedly aimed at stopping COVID-19 from spreading acted very much like energy rationing, without mentioning the world’s energy problem.
Several years before 2020, it should have been clear that the world economy was doing very poorly based on the continued need for very low interest rates (Figure 7) and Quantitative Easing. China, in particular, was doing poorly, as indicated by its low sales of automobiles (Figure 5). Of course, China doesn’t broadcast its problems to the rest of the world, so few people were aware of this issue.
China had been able to boost the world’s per capita supply of inexpensive-to-produce energy by ramping up its coal production after it joined the World Trade Organization in 2001. (Note the world ramp-up in coal, starting after 2001, on Figure 9.) Unfortunately, because of depletion, China’s coal production since 2013 has been close to flat. Furthermore, China had had a big recycling business, but discontinued it effective January 1, 2018. Discontinuation of this program was necessary because oil prices had fallen in 2014 and had never recovered to their former level. With low oil prices, most recycling in China made no sense economically. The loss of jobs from recycling and cutbacks in coal operations no doubt contributed to the declining sale of vehicles in China.
In the years before 2020, another big issue was that the wages of many workers were not keeping up with the rising cost of living. Figure 4 illustrates this issue for the US. The problem was especially acute for lower wage workers. During this period, the prices of many commodities were too low for producers. This led to layoffs and low wages for workers.
In early 2020, the world became aware of a new coronavirus that had been identified in China. The response to this new illness was very strange, compared to how previous pandemics had been handled. The response looked a great deal like intentionally scaring people (especially older people) into staying at home. If this were done, much less oil could be used. Natural gas and coal consumption could be reduced, as well.
This story is perhaps not so strange if we look at it in context. On January 8, 2020, I wrote that we should be expecting recession and low oil prices in 2020. I included this oil price chart.
On January 29, I wrote, It is easy to overreact to a coronavirus. In this article, I pointed out that the economy already seemed to be headed in the direction of recession. Shutdowns would only make the problem worse.
Politicians choosing to shut down their economies in early 2020 were likely not aware that the real underlying problem within their economy was inadequate availability of inexpensive-to-produce energy. They were aware that China had decided to shut down part of its economy, so perhaps there might be some usefulness to such an action. Local leaders outside of China knew that their own factories were underutilized. If their own factories could be shut down temporarily, perhaps they could operate at closer to capacity, once they reopened.
Furthermore, a shutdown would give an excuse to keep workers protesting low wages inside. After the shutdown, there would be an excuse to raise the debt level, perhaps keeping the financial part of the economy going for a while longer. So, a shutdown would have many benefits, apart from any potential benefit from (sort of) containing the virus.
It became apparent as time went on that the vaccine story for COVID-19 was playing multiple roles, as well. The healthcare industry was becoming very large in the US. In fact, the size of the healthcare industry was beginning to interfere with the economy as a whole (Figure 4). Furthermore, manufacturers of medicines and vaccines were having problems with diminishing returns because the big, important drug finds had been discovered years ago. It was becoming difficult to profitably fund all of the research needed for new drugs.
Behind the scenes, the vaccine industry had been working for years on creating new viruses and preparing vaccines for these same viruses. The theory was that the same approaches that delivered vaccines might be helpful in treating diseases of various kinds. Vaccines might also be helpful in responding to bioweapon attacks. If drug manufacturers could market a blockbuster vaccine, the manufacturers, as well as the individuals holding the vaccine patents, could become rich.
The US was not alone in the research with respect to viruses and vaccines for these viruses. Many major countries, including Canada, France, Italy, Australia and China had funded this research, partly through their budgets for health research and partly through military budgets. There was virtually no chance that anyone would figure out the source of any problematic virus because so many major countries had had a part in funding this research. If citizens could be convinced that the virus was extremely dangerous and mandate the use of vaccines, the vaccine industry could greatly profit from vaccine sales. The vaccine could be created and marketed quickly because all of the research (but not enough testing) had been performed earlier.
A great deal of planning had been done before the pandemic appeared, based to a significant extent upon what outcome vaccine makers would prefer. Johns Hopkins University completed a SPARS Pandemic Scenario in October 2017, rehearsing responses to a pandemic. A training exercise called Event 201 was held on October 18, 2019, for the purpose of training high level government officials and news writers what their responses should be.
The sponsors of Event 201 were “The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.” The latter two organizations are representatives of the very wealthy individuals and very large corporations. The primary interest of these organizations is enriching those who are already wealthy. The World Economic Forum is known for proclaiming, “You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy.”
As time went on, it became very clear that the true nature of the COVID-19 epidemic was being hidden from citizens. It was, and is, not a terribly dangerous illness if it is treated properly with any number of inexpensive medications including aspirin, ivermectin, antihistamine and steroids. In fact, the severity of the disease could also be lessened by taking vitamin D in advance. There really was not a great deal of point to the vaccines, except to enrich the vaccine manufacturers and those who would benefit from the sale of the vaccines, including Anthony Fauci and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
It also became clear that the vaccines don’t really do what a person might expect a vaccine to do. They do tend to stop severe illness, but taking vitamin D in advance would provide pretty much the same benefit. They don’t stop COVID-19 from circulating because vaccinated people can still catch COVID-19. The vaccines seem to have any number of side effects, including raising the risk of heart attacks.
The historical period most similar to the current period, in terms of shortage of energy supply, is that between World War I and World War II. At that time, the Jews were persecuted. Now, there is an attempt to divide the world into Vaccinated and Unvaccinated, with the Unvaccinated persecuted. When the economy cannot produce enough goods and services for all members of the economy, the economy seems to divide into almost warring parts.
We are basically trying to deal with an energy scenario that looks a lot like Figure 8, and the self-organizing economy comes up with very strange solutions. If people can convince themselves that it is OK to ostracize the unvaccinated, then maybe the move down the collapse will go more smoothly. For example, the military can be cut back in size by dismissing the unvaccinated, without admitting that with current resources, there is a need to reduce the size of the military.
Europe is the part of the world where the push for vaccinations is now highest. It is also in terrible shape with respect to energy supply. By ostracizing the unvaccinated, European countries can attempt to cut back their economies to the size that their energy supply will support, without admitting the real problem.
[10] The world economy is increasingly acting like economies that have collapsed in the past. In fact, there seems to be a connection with some of the strange statements from the book of Revelation.
We are living in a world now in which even if there are temporary price spikes, there is little chance that fossil fuel providers will ramp up their production. In order to ramp up supplies, they would need to start several years in advance, preparing new fields. Oil, coal and gas prices have stayed so low, for so long, that there is no belief that prices can rise to a high enough level and stay there, as the fuels are extracted. Thus, the fossil fuel will stay in the ground.
At the same time, it is becoming increasingly clear that renewables cannot be depended upon. In fact, low generation of electricity by wind turbines is part of the reason Europe is having to import the large quantity of natural gas and coal supplies it now requires. There is concern that rolling blackouts may be necessary during the winter in Europe, if not this year, sometime in the next few years.
It is becoming increasingly clear that the future energy scenario will look something like Figure 8, causing world population to fall dramatically within the next thirty years. This is the kind of situation most of us would associate with collapse. I think of it as being equivalent to end times, since our modern civilization will be disappearing. It is possible that there will be a remnant of people left, but they will be living a much simpler life, without fossil fuels or modern renewables.
There are several parts to what is happening that remind me of Old Testament writings in general, and of the book of Revelation (from the New Testament), in particular.
First, the willingness of the ultra-rich to look out for themselves and keep what look like perfectly good, cheap cures for COVID-19 from the world population seems to be precisely the kind of despicable behavior that Old Testament prophets despised. For example, in Amos 5:21-24, Amos tells the Jews that God despises their prior behavior. In verse 24 (NIV), he says, “But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!”
As I noted in the introduction, Revelation 18 talks about lack of demand being an issue in the collapse of Babylon, and presumably in any future collapse that occurs. Revelation 18:11-13 reads:
11 The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes anymore— 12 cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble;13 cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and human beings sold as slaves.
The need for vaccine passports in some countries reminds a person of Revelation 13:17, “they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.” In fact, people in Sweden are getting microchip implants after its latest COVID passport mandate.
Some people believe that Revelation 12 describes the Antichrist; that is, the polar opposite of Christ. Before the world comes to an end, Revelation 12 seems to predict a great fight against this Antichrist, which Christ wins. I could imagine Anthony Fauci being the Antichrist.
We are not used to living in a world where very little that is published by the Mainstream Media makes sense. But when we live in a time where no one wants to hear what is true, the system changes in a bizarre way, so that a great deal that is published is false.
It is disturbing to think that we may be living near the end of the world economy, but there is an upside to this situation. We have had the opportunity to live at a time with more conveniences than any other civilization. We can appreciate the many conveniences we have.
We also have the opportunity to decide how we want to live the rest of our lives. We have been led for many years down the path of believing that economic growth will last forever; all we need to do is have faith in the government and our educational institutions. If we figure out that this really isn’t the path to follow, we can change course now. If we want to choose a more spiritual approach, this is a choice we can still make.
‘The ritual humiliation of children [in Germany] who are asked to go to the front of the class and state their vaccination status daily, those who are vaccinated are applauded.’
Journalist Alex Story reports on coronavirus restrictions in EU countries.

that report has a smell about it
GB news has a far right reputation—Nigel Farage is on it, which should set off alarm bells
Does the smell remind you of your bloviating on this page?
it reminds me that others say the exact opposite
it is good to have opinions on both counts
that way I stay grounded, balanced—and able to think constructively without undue bias
thanks
Norman, the BBC had farage on for over 4 years(when it suited that brand of division). Did that “set off the alarm bells”?
As for the “smell about it”, maybe you have become so accustomed to the manure the BBC liberally spread, that any other smell is bewildering.
It may well be untrue, but it is being reported in Germany, so your stance, a bit like your sense of smell might be a bit off.
“There are teachers who call up children individually and ask about their vaccination status: Those who are vaccinated receive applause, those who do not have to justify themselves. Adolescents remind their classmates of their “social responsibility” by mistakenly assuming that it is they who have a responsibility for adult society, not for them”
https://t.co/T7rzHV6Ehy
Farage set off alarm bells the moment I heard him speak
i don’t think i was wrong–i wasn’t the only one–he whipped uphysteria over Europe , aiming at the lowest common denomitor–we want our country back—stuff like that. He was ‘mates’ with Trump in the creepiest obsequious manner—that set off louder alarm bells.
Anyone who sees Trump as a ‘friend’ is misguided, to say the least—I don’t think we can have any doubt about that?
as to the humiliation of the child in class–possible–i would need extra checks–i couldn’t find any–maybe you can
healthy kids – covid vaccines — WHY?
Apologies for the reply above rather than below. No option to reply to your comment.
Norman, you haven’t answered.
Did you treat the BBC with the same contempt for all the years they had him as a regular and did you question and demand extra evidence of their output as you are now of the other lot?
It’d look rather hypocritical to honestly answer no, don’t you think?
On a lighter note, I see you’re exercise routine is making you a rising star in the over 60s personal trainer world.
EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 60
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.
With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute and then relax.
Each day you’ll find that you can hold this position for just a little bit longer.
After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato bags.
Then try 50-lb potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute (I’m at this level).
After you feel confident at that level, put a potato into each bag.
Farage grew in my consciousness as the UKIP thing grew
The BBC allowed him to put across his view, as they balanced him out with other commenters, It is their universal policy to allow divisive viewpoints as long as they don’t infringe the law.
he ranted mainly on the subject of UKIP–it was obvious he was an idiot—I honestly didnt think the UK would be so collectively stupid as to leave the EU
Farage had a louder mouth than i credited him with.
He was, and is, an attention seeker

When using tor browser one will have a IP associated with different countries. If the country is Germany any video that discusses vaccine injury or Ivermectin it is not viewable on bitchute. “illegal in your country incitement to hate”.
WTF? Now information about your own health is “incitement to hate”?
The solution of course is to just come in under a different IP associated with a different country.
This is of course authoritarian censorship. And its not just in Germany.
The primary methods are of course outright censorship by the MSM and social media. The secondary methods of authoritarian censorship that has occurred suddenly and without much warning constitute.
1.Fact checking- anything they dont want you to see is false.
2.Innuendo- “thats a white supremacist website” The stink of that assertion is so deplorable that most will not go anywhere near that website. A less slanderous method of censorship “thats a far right website”.
3. prolific use of trolls online asserting no think is best- to better get around and stuff.
Using one and two basically most information that creates cognitive dissonance can be avoided. These two methods create a environment where one can simply discard information that comes from any source other than the MSM. Doesn’t matter if they are a brown Nobel laureate from Bangladesh if they are on “that” source they are grand wizards in the KKK. And why are they on “that” source? Because they are not allowed- openly censored on the MSM and social media. Its a tidy package indeed nicely sidestepping the first amendment. A nice bit of spices added to the meat and potato of outright censorship of the MSM and social media.
It achieves exactly what they want a discussion of the issues that are just the issues they want with polarization and identification with “right” or “left” conditioning used to blind people to all other issues. The issues themselves are rendered irrelevant to the source. And all non censored sources are “bad”. What they dont want above all is the people unified with a identity outside of the polarized identities they have created. Its very effective, look at Norman a obviously bright chap, his grandchild soon to be injected and him applauding it. This is impressive conditioning in that it is able to overcome even parents love for their children. Very impressive and terrifying. Hey it even works for me. Accuse me of being a white supremacist and I will STFU. That accusation is so insulting to me being a caring giving person who deplores racism. Anyone who knows me and knows my actions who accuses me of it is no longer a friend. Censorship achieved. Of course actions are irrelevant too right? This of course is the epitomy of racism but that doesnt matter just what box you are placed in.
And a new paradigm openly proposed. “dangerous” information must not be allowed. Constitution a tool of oppression written by slave owners. First amendment the foundation of a fair and equitable society in the trash can. VIVA la new slave masters. All in the name of “justice”.
not quite sure where your thread is going. Or what some of it means exactly.
my youngest g/child is 30.
i let them take responsibility for my ‘greats’–i have nothing to do with it. I fear for their future—who wouldn’t at the moment? Ido know that they are secure and well care for.
i try to fact-check from 3 sources if something is important enough to warrant it.–if i cant find three sources, the doubt remains.
take the ‘report’ of a kid being put outside at school as a ‘covid risk’–hyporthermia etc etc.
my checks showed up no report of it anywhere else. (OK i might have missed something)—but if it was true–i would have expected the mainstream media to have been screaming about it for days.–i haven’t seen anything.
Take ‘millions of dead and maimed”–i hardly ever come across a single corpse lying in the street around here. Yet ‘millions of dead and maimed’ is repeated time and again.
As to my judgement of Farage–a notorious loudmouth here in uk. To watch him in a state of obsequiousness towards Trump was stomach turning. And revealing.
Trump doesn’t ‘do’ friends.
he just does them over. That much is clear.
If GB news hires Farage, then they are of the same ilk. I watched a few minutes of it the other night–
One of them was describing ”your child being held down and forcibly injected” Exact quote btw. Telling people what they want to hear.
Hmmmm–thinks I—where have we heard that before? Nothing of the sort is happening here, or elsewhere I suspect.
But it feeds the egos of plotmongers here and elsewhere to say it is. It feeds certain OFW egos to keep repeating it ad nauseam. That is their problem, not mine.
GB news is feeding people the stuff they are desperate to hear.—Certain commenters on OFW do exactly the same thing.
I write stuff on here so that it’s clear to me. Which is the purpose of writing this.
If folks say they like it–that’s good, but it’s an ‘extra’, it means i’m getting through to people.
—if they don’t, that’s good too— my ego isn’t so fragile as to need propping up by sycophants all the time. I don’t fly into a state of online road rage if someone has a different point of view.
I learn a lot from opposing points of view.
You won’t answer Eddy’s WVK question, but how about your opinion on these:
1) Is it ok for people to be fired from their jobs if they do not get vaccinated?
2) Is it ok for people to be unable to attend nightclubs and festivals (for now) if they do not show a vaccine passport?
3) Is it ok to ban unvaccinated from international travel?
my main concern about eddys question is repetitive strain injury–but i need as many replies from him as possible, in order to reach comment parity, as per my bet for February 2022.
Method in my madness you see
I list his question under the ”Have you stopped beating your wife?’ parameter. I try to offer reason above the level of a 5 yr old’s tantrum.
Every comment eddy makes makes him look dafter than the previous one. I’m OK with that. Anyone agreeing with me invites eddys invective—thats good, it tells me I’m right.
As to the other points, vaccination is working. There are faults and problems of course, and no medical intervention is 100% ‘safe’–no medic will tell you that it is. They are certainly not going about it the right way–leaving half the world unvaccinated is madness. Using vaccination to make vast profits is obscene.
But we now treat our planet as a superstore where everything is for sale. Very few realise the extreme danger that puts us all in. Instead the ranting goes on about a virus which, I think, is part of the defence mechanism against our predations.–i’ve explained that elsewhere.
The profits accrued over the last 2 years would pay for the vaccination of everyone.
Governments by and large have no more idea about what to do about it than you or I do.
On your specific points, my broad answer is yes.
I now ask you a question–would you sit in an enclosed tube for 10 hours with 300 people, knowing one of them had covid? You may have fits of rage on OFW–but I know the answer to that I think.
Or would you remain the close contact with a work colleague under the same circumstance? No, you wouldn’t.
there is no ‘plandemic’
no plot to cull 90% of our numbers. (we will do that anyway as a collective effort)
no suppression of information.
Fauci is not a Chinese agent (or something)
Bill Gates is not planning world domination by injecting us all wwith iron filings.
there are no ‘millions of dead ans maimed’ people littering the streets. (not where I live anyway)
I’ve laughed at all the above on OFW, and enraged a lot of people. Tough.
The most dangerous spread of infection is social media itself.
You can check on OFW archives. Early 2020 we were being told that covid was just the flu.
WVK?

Does anyone know why norm is refusing to answer MVK?
Feel free to provide your theory
Good questions, Yorchichan.
Norman is part of the problem. A very small part, but there are millions of people of the same view and with the same breathtaking ignorance. It’s the banality of evil all over again. Let’s end other people’s freedom to on the alter of my germophobia. He’s another bloody Ester Rantzen.
The really ironic thing is that he actually believes all the bovine excrement and things the jabs will keep him safe, when the plain truth is that he’s being primed for vaxtermination. Each shot, each booster, will do a bit more damage until …. bang.
I heard today about a friend of mine in a nearby town aged sixty-five and a bit chubby. He took his two doses of Pfizer in July and September. Now he’s in hospital and has had his gall bladder removed. Just the latest in a list of coincidences that have robbed a dozen people I know personally of their health or their lives this year. Yet I only heard of one person who died of COVID-19 and they were suffering from terminal lung cancer when the bug struck.
fits in with that puncture i got on the way back from the covid clinic
if i hadn’t ignored eddys advice about getting vaxxed–i would have saved myself the cost of a new tyre
WVK? Everyone wants to know norm
noooooo
i have inadvertently discovered the formula that takes me to comment infinity
and as an unexpected bonus
every comment makes you look even more of a fool than folks knew you were
which is saying something
Why bother with this rubbish – just answer WKV.
norm is one of billions of … ________s.
Tim Groves, I also have a friend who, post jab, had to get her gallbladder removed. Now she has pancreatic cysts to remove as well. But she’s ready and set to get her latest booster. I notice that when I recommend that she (and another friend) stop with the boosters, I get no response.
Maybe you can ask her if she wants your shots too?
BTW I was told earlier that when getting poisoned in NZ you have to provide ID and your health number… so that 10 shots in a day thing looks to be BS…
It’s probably J’ASSinda trying to convince people the jabs are safe… if someone can get 10 and not die…
Since they feel that the jab is good and saves lives, they also must believe that denying it to a child is wrong. The problem could be that they believe in what the MSM is telling them.
Whether the puncture is jab-related, or the result of the lamentable state of the roads in your part of the country, I couldn’t say, But as I mentioned before, another of my friends drove into a concrete utility pole that she didn’t see because the sun was in her eyes, not long after getting jabbed. And I’m provisionally putting that down as a vaccident.
But looking at this thing from another angle, by remaining untainted, I have a 99.9% chance of surviving an encounter with COVID-19 and a 0.0% change of suffering a vaccine-related adverse effect. I think those odds are significantly better than the jabbed have.
The UK is officially currently 23.8% unjabbed, 76.2% at least one dose, 69.4% at least two doses, 33% booster. On December 10, there were 58,184 new cases, 48,503 (seven day average) and 120 deaths (119 seven day average). The boosters are not preventing this rate of carnage from happening. If limiting infections and deaths is the aim, the strategy of bullying the non-compliant is backfiring badly.
If you put Draconian restrictions on a quarter of the population on the basis that they are unclean and untouchable, this measure will cause everybody in the country a great deal more pain. The blowback from the outcasts and the lepers will affect everyone negatively. But that’s fine if you can’t see that. Just keep moving in your current direction and reality will bite back soon enough.
i also recognise and agree with your final paragraph Tim
we are in a mess of our own making but i try to take a much wider view on it
few grasp my intention.–but that is of no concern.
I’m looking at a much broader spread of pain—covid is in itself insignificant, which is why i ignore some of the sillier comments on it. Answers would be pointless.
We hold onto the fantasy that if (in some way as yet unproven) we ‘fix’ covid, all will be well
it won’t.
covid has perhaps accellerated the crunch factor which would have hit us maybe 10 years hence. maybe less
so many unknowns and variables.
Covid revealed the knife edge weve been living on, forced a least some of us to face facts—instead of ‘conspiracies’. But some cling to their conspiracies, because they are easier to deal with than facts.
2 years ago–covid itself was a ‘conspiracy’–nothing more than ‘flu’
now the same people tell me that covid has been ‘created’ to deliberately cull our numbers. They are the same people who insisted on all those other ‘conspiracies’ back down the years—we don’t need to go into all that daftness again, now do we?
What covid (rightly or wrongly) did was disrupt our energy flow lines—everything from visiting theatres, to holidays–to freight and goods movement—and everything in between.
in effect our ability to convert energy into wages.
Which happens to be the bottom line of any civilisation.
Which happens to be the meaning of my broader take on all this.
But we are OK–everything ‘seems’ to be getting back to normal—and maybe it will—or maybe not ‘quite’.
Our notion of ‘infinite prosperity’ has been shown to be a mirage–but one that everyone still believes in.
This ‘disruption’ will make the next much easier–and the next.
Think of the energy-stone skimming across a pond–each bounce gets less until—–
People are seriously scared because any fool can work out what that means.
frightened people do silly things—they elect crazy leaders. The UK left the EU and got Bonkers Boris. Trump might get 2024—then what? With the economic system in a tailspin (not enough oil) by 26, Trump declares ‘a state of emergency’–the rest I leave to your imagination.
And everyone is worried about covid.
Hold the Line. Reject the Mass Poisoning.
That’s a lot of words considering you still fail to answer the question.
Did you Norman treat the BBC with the same contempt you now treat the other lot, for the open mike they gave farage for multiple years on their most prominent political programs?
If you didn’t, that shows a huge illogical bias on your part
norm – WVK?
And Farage is entertaining … in a good way
I wasn’t trying to catch you out Norman, I just want to understand your position. Answering “Yes”, as you did, does make some sort of sense if you believe your government means you no harm, if there really is a pathogen with a high mortality rate and if vaccines really are proven “safe and effective” against this pathogen. If any of these are not true, answering “Yes”, makes little sense. Given the vaccines don’t reduce transmission, answering “Yes” to any of my questions is nonsense.
Would I sit on an aeroplane knowing another passenger had covid? Yes, I would. I sit in an enclosed space with dozens of other people on most days and some of them are inevitably ill. I don’t care. I have a fully functioning immune system and If it is not sufficient to protect me, so be it. Likewise, I would work in close contact with a colleague who had covid. I would prefer people not be selfish and not travel/work if they were very ill, but this is often wishful thinking.
Yorchichan,
“Given the vaccines don’t reduce transmission”. That’s not a given. This and this are both preprints but please present your evidence of your “given”.
You can sit next to COVID-19 cases, that’s up to you to decide whether you might catch and suffer badly from the virus but would you sit next to someone else or enter a crowded room/plane, if you were COVID-19 positive? Is there anyone you would try to protect from contracting the virus from you?
Mike, I’d never know for sure if I was covid positive because I would never submit to a test. If I feel too ill to meet other people I stay home. If I don’t feel too ill, I go about my business.
Same as ever was.
I don’t have time now to look for evidence of vaccines not reducing transmission. Maybe later.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8554481/
“However, this study unfortunately also highlights that the vaccine effect on reducing transmission is minimal in the context of delta variant circulation.”
Hi Mike,
Singapore. 83.4% fully vaccinated. 10.9% boosted. Fully vaccinated past 75% on August 21. Boosters began to be given on September 28.
A major wave of cases and deaths began in September and is still continuing.
There’s been a very strong correlation in Singapore between increasing vaccination and increasing case numbers. Were you aware of this when you wrote your comment but decided to post it all the same? Or were you ignorant of it?

mike cannot respond to this just as he and norm are unable to explain why children are being injected with the vaccine.
Hi Mike,
Funeral director John O’Looney of Milton Keynes is convinced that the vaccines are killing and injuring large numbers of people. And he’s got decades of experience in dealing with stiffs. His business has never been so brisk.
https://rumble.com/vqcjyr-uk-funeral-director-provides-an-update-on-his-clients.html
Yorchichan, thanks for the link to a study which suggests the reduction in transmission might be minimal. However, I do note that you excluded the sentence prior to the one you quoted. The context is, “This study confirms that COVID-19 vaccination reduces the risk of delta variant infection and also accelerates viral clearance in the context of the delta variant. However, this study unfortunately also highlights that the vaccine effect on reducing transmission is minimal in the context of delta variant circulation.” Unfortunately, the study didn’t give a reason for the latter opinion or show data to support it. Indeed, the study was centred on household contacts and, indeed, found a lower SAR for vaccinated contacts than for unvaccinated contacts (25% versus 38%) and also a lower period of peak viral load in vaccinated individuals. The notion of “minimal effect” seems to be related to the fact that many infections actually occurred out of the household (genomic testing showed that some infections were not caught in households).
But it does offer further food for thought, so thanks for that.
Artleads. Yes, I’m sorry to hear about you friend losing their gallbladder. It is, unfortunately, one of the possible serious side effects of these jabs, and was noted as such in the Pfizer trial documents.
People who aren’t open to acknowledging what’s really going on will have endless rationalizations. Regarding the jabs, they can ignore the truth that the shots are poisonous, but in the end they will have to deal with the consequences of ignoring that truth.
WVK?

Microscopic Analysis of COVID-19 ‘Vaccines’ Reveals a Highly Sophisticated Bioweapon
http://stateofthenation.co/?p=100413#more-100413
“Spike proteins may actually be parasite eggs.”
It’s truly amazing what people come up with. Even more unbelievable, that other people will actually believe this nonsense.
Yes – almost as amazing as GP/ER Physicians that send a presenting Covid case home w/o any other advice or any therapeutics but rather with:
“Come back when you are having difficulty breathing”
Have you done a look-see at the following – this shows that if you wait to do something about your covid until go to hospital it may be too late.
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1039677/Vaccine_surveillance_report_-_week_49.pdf
Since they have all kind of problems defining how many people are unvaccinated and rates/100k are very sensitive to denominator and what actually is a Covid Case – given many unvaccinated will not present for at test – I have decided we will only count a CASE as someone who presents & is hospitalized.
So if we are looking for the Truth – Lets look at some rates of death for these kinds of “cases”:
computed from data in Table 10a & 10b
(Note Dynamic changes on downside of a peak – so since old case deaths lag new case presenting or new hospitalization it turns out we get more dying than new hospitalizations but without hard dates for each case/death all we can do is relative compare of snapshots. Assume similar dynamic relationships for these lumped snapshots of recessional curves)
Age group v60d/vh v28d/vh uv60d/uvh uv28d/uvh
80+ 1.50 1.16 1.09 1.00
70-79 0.89 0.72 0 .63 0.58
60-69 0.50 0.38 0.38 0.32
50-59 0.21 0.17 0.26 0.21
sample calc (I lump unidentified w/ the unvaxed)
80+ hospitalized 1318total – 211unvax hosp = 1107vaxed hospital
28d death 1502total – 212 unvax 28d= 1290 vaxed 28d death
1290/1107 = 1.16 v28d/v hosp
212/211 = 1.00 uv28d/uv hosp
So for 60 and above better survival for unvaccinated once enter hospital
for 50-59 begins to look like the vaccinees have a slightly better survival ratio but then we don’t know how many of them died/injured from the vax to get that slight benefit and that are not included in these numbers
I guess a more proper way to do this is to build the time series for each of these categories and then perform a correlation analysis at different lags to find lags that give maximum correlation (yes statistical/operational hydrology training can be reapplied – Pretty sure actuaries have some training in statistical time series analysis that might also be applicable – but dont try and convince Anna of that) then using the “optimally” lagged series a running ratio or avg & distribution of ratios could be determined (might even be able to do some significance test of difference of the means at that point) Proper sync/correction of the data of course would result in a ratio under 1 and eliminate the possibility of a result that looks like more dying than coming into hospital
As an aside – did not look at a Scotland report earlier to day they noted their numbers for covid mortalities were accumulated by date of death registration (which averages 3 days after actual death but “legally” can be up to 8 – assume the family registers at all) so not sure any of UK death numbers have dates on true date of death.
It is indeed truly amazing what people come up with Anna, although I’m not so sure it’s even more unbelievable that people believe nonsense.
Would people spend the effort/energy, if they didn’t know there were literally continents full of the gullible?
Below is a great example of how you can tell people one thing, then flip flop and they don’t even raise an eyebrow, let alone realise they’ve been royally duped.

anna … was the shock treatment .. unpleasant?
I heard it’s like sticking a knife into a live power socket… is that true?
And what about the fact that the vaxxed can spread covid just as easily as the unvaxxed….

Do you remember norm?

The UK Health Safety Agency – has a whole 4pg section on Pregnancy in this weekly update (Jan-August data) – Conclusion no difference stillbirth, prematures, percent live births – some slightly wider confidence intervals on Vaxxed w/ very tiny tendency to premies but given different populations targeted for vax no identifiable significant difference.
They still pushing – Recommend vax for pregnant – I don’t know how can do that – haven’t shown any proof of harm/reduced birth rate in unvaccinated for going without – thought always if uncertain or no benefit then not give something to pregnant woman. Must be sure of overwhelming benefit.
While I trust UK data more than CDC (they do publish data showing vaccinated getting infected & dying) still not sure some sleight of hand not going on.
Like reaction to something from weekly Case tables:
In New Cases table 8 column for Unlinked population – approx same magnitude as Unvax pop.
When you go to Hospitalization Table 9 & Mortality Tables 10a,b there is also a column for unlinked population numbers in each. These counts are essentially zero/rounding errors in comparison to Total or Unvax population numbers.
My cynical, flippant retort is shows “best way to avoid hospital or death from Covid is to not be linked in their database” – much better efficacy than vaccine and almost zero chance of death.. lol
Or guess should just put all those cases into the unvaxxed column – obviously if had been vaxed they would be in the database, right – this would cut case fatality rate for unvaccinated in half (same for hosp/case rate) again very cynical, but then again they are determining rates/100k using an unvaxxed population estimated by difference using two different database of total population and subtracting #vaccinated puts most error into smaller unvaccinated result.
Also the N-antibody from donated blood info is interesting ~ 35% population estimated to have infection. Seems like could use follow-up sampling of N-antibody tests some n number of days after a positive Covid test as quality check to confirm actual # of cases and cull false positive tests.
There’s a lot of this going around.

Demaryius Thomas had been suffering seizures for over a year. His family speculated that a seizure while showering resulted in his death.
It’s always sad when something like this happens. Were seizures caused by a long-standing health issue? Were they the result of something which occurred during his football career? Or, based on the fact that he’d been suffering seizures for over a year, was this health issue a result of having had Covid before vaccines were available? In that respect you could be right. Covid can cause major damage for even athletes. We’ve already seen that in their hearts and lungs.

Anyone read this? Can give your comments?
This is good summary article of where things stand with failing vaccines. Very easy to read, clear, comprehensive – Includes mention of Sweden study, mentions Scotland, Israel has quotes from Bossche, Berenson, Yeadon. Along with good textual summary includes three short video clips – Bossche and two Israeli news clips that show officials acknowledge that many vaccinated are getting sick & dying.
Here is good excerpt of what Yeadon had to say – I have added some parenthetical bracketed { } comments:
While some are concerned that blood IgG antibodies fall with time, I am not convinced that this is a relevant measure,” Yeadon continued. “Respiratory virus infection begins in the lungs and nasopharynx. Neither are protected by blood antibodies, which are molecules too large to diffuse into airways tissue. What protects against infection and initial viral replication is secretory IgA antibodies and T-cells in airways, neither of which have been studied in any efficacy trial. {This explains why Vaccinated still getting infections}
“The empirical data are very worrying. In most countries now, high fractions of the population have been vaccinated. If the Swedish study is a guide, we should anticipate seeing this immune erosion more widely. The most concerning aspect of that study is that those most in need of protection are those in whom immune erosion is most marked: the elderly, males, and those with comorbidities……” {When I have looked at mortality breakdown still >25% deaths in 85+ & seems like males almost 2X female}
“…It’s long past time when known safe and effective drug treatments be used as the leading response to symptomatic infection (antivirals, corticosteroids, anti-inflammatories).” {Bossche has also stated this in his Omicron Tsunami essay – only way to go from pandemic to endemic is to provide massive simultaneous prophylaxis & early treatment – otherwise new Omicron targeted vaccine may develop variant that will overwhelm vaccinated children & early adopter adults with naive/out of date innate (nasopharynx) defenses}
“In this way, we don’t expose entire populations to experimental medical interventions when only a very small fraction of the population are at notable risk from this virus, which, all hype aside, is by no means exceptional in its lethality compared with numerous others such as seasonal influenza.”
In spite of the obvious … i.e. that this is a coordinated extermination policy being run by every government on the planet… these guys are missing the big picture.
Yes we know what they are doing will end in catastrophe — but they still give the benefit of the doubt and call it a mistake
This very obviously is NOT a mistake. It is being done on purpose.
The reason they cannot accept that is is not a mistake is because then they need to understand ‘why’…. and because they are unaware or reject the Limits to Growth story and that we are on the precipice… they will continue to beat this dead horse and blubber on about trees.
It is good theatre though — and Fast Eddy is happy to play along and pretend that HE is incensed by what ‘they’ are doing … when actually HE believes what they are doing … is necessary.
Thanks for the summary and notes!

Effectiveness of Covid-19 Vaccination Against Risk of Symptomatic Infection, Hospitalization, and Death Up to 9 Months: A Swedish Total-Population Cohort Study
To me, vaccines are like distractions of the real problem. Like crypto currencies are to fiat money.
When you have weekly headaches, you should start looking for the problem instead of taking aspirine again.
Watching a dog or a horse will teach you more than reading Fauci’s memoires.

Covid: Scotland facing ‘tsunami’ of Omicron cases
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-59610582
“Scotland is facing a “tsunami” of Omicron cases, with the variant likely to replace Delta as the dominant form of the virus within days, Nicola Sturgeon has warned.
The first minister said the 110 cases that have been recorded in the country are only the “tip of the iceberg”.
And she predicted that a new wave of the pandemic was about to begin.
She also announced changes to self-isolation guidelines, and urged people to cancel work Christmas parties.
Ms Sturgeon said that, from tomorrow, all household contacts of any Covid cases should isolate for 10 days, regardless of vaccination status and even if they initially get a negative PCR test.”
>> regardless of vaccination status
Nudge nudge, wink wink. Get your next equally useless booster or several now. And die. Please.
>>and urged people to cancel work Christmas parties.
We are having our team (less than 10) Christmas night out tonight. At least two have cancelled.
I prefer smaller groups anyway.
Christmas will involve a bunkering mentality with people locked at home — unwilling to see anyone without a vax passport …. eating dry turkey wide-eyed with fear and loathing …

“In central Massachusetts, the UMass Memorial Health System is, once again, completely overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients.
Q,“We, right now, have more patients in the hospital, overall, than we have had at either of the two peaks previously. You come in one day and you say this is the worst we’ve ever seen it and you come back the next day and it’s even worse. This is very concerning, what’s going on right now,” UMass Memorial Health Care President and CEO Dr. Eric Dickson told during an interview ABC News Wednesday.
Shocking, considering the high vaccination rate in Massachusetts.”
It will be entertaining to see the burnout and stress causing disease in these vaxxed workers!
I was surprised to learn that Massachusetts is sort of in the middle of US states in terms of hospital beds per capita, at 2.3 per thousand.
https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/rankings-and-ratings/states-ranked-by-hospital-beds-per-1-000-population-2.html
The World Bank has some statistics by country.
https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.MED.BEDS.ZS
The overall level for the US (in 2017) is giving as 2.9 beds per 1,000.
The UK seems to have about 2.46 hospital beds per thousand.
Australia supposedly had 3.8 per 1000 in 2016.
Austria is reported to have 7.3 beds per 1000 in 2018.
China has 4.3 beds per 1000 in 2017.
Germany has 8.0 beds per capita in 2017.
Poor countries often have very low beds per capita. For example, Uganda has 0.5 beds per capita.
Gail – the county I live in has 0 hospital beds per thousand. I live in Cooper County MO, our formerly county hospital was sold to private interests decades ago, then went bankrupt.
Bankruptcy of small hospitals seems to happen more and more.
Very interesting Gail, thank you.
Italy has 3.1
but being, actually, a sort of default State, it cannot fills them, otherwise medical expenses go too high.
Therefore it is better to keep out people from hospital – even temporary or just for peak periods – than running the risk to go near full capacity.
Then, if you make some multinational companies earn good money, it is possible that they will be so kind to park their money in your national huge and unsustainable debt, to avoid default and avoid politicians to go home.
There has been a general tendency to decrease the number of hospital beds in the last thirty-forty years.
Portugal had 396 hospital beds per 100,000 inhabitants in 1985 and 350 in 2019 (this despite the fact the population has increased in those 35 years).
In other countries this decrease is even more pronounced: Italy 830 – 316; Spain 456 – 294; Sweden 1460 – 207.

Yes, but look at the sleight of hand: slipping from “Covid” to “more patients in the hospital overall“.
good catch “more patients … overall” If the vax die-off picks up we will see much more of that careful wording.

‘Propaganda: the Doom of the Western Empire’
(The devil’s finest trick is to persuade you that he does not exist.” Charles Baudelaire’)
[…] ‘With the Soviet Union spiraling down into a crisis from which it would not survive, its propaganda system revealed its limits. It is the basic problem of censorship: if you have to suppress contrasting opinions, it means that you have something to hide. The Soviet public understood that very well and it maintained a healthy dose of skepticism toward anything that their government was telling them. They still do. In the West, instead, the propaganda system evolved into a more and more sophisticated instrument that even managed to elevate itself into a ‘non-propaganda’ system by abandoning censorship. In this way, it managed to convince most people that propaganda did not exist in the West (the devil’s finest trick, according to Baudelaire).’ […]
https://thesenecaeffect.blogspot.com/2021/12/propaganda-doom-of-western-empire.html
” it managed to convince most people that propaganda did not exist in the West ”
This has been going on for decades of course. Only the Russkies do propaganda, not us. I tend not to discuss CV19 with anyone except my kids, 16 and 20, they seem quite open to the occasional bit of news. If I ever mention to anyone else that just maybe the BBC News is a bit bias, I am risking summary lynching. The general population of the UK are so gullible, and convinced that they are right.
It is a very sad moment for our lifes.
It is not possible to discuss with some relatives or friends, otherwise the discussion turns violent.
The funny thing is that they say that they follow Science, but the ones admitting possibility of some doubts are us (and Science is actually based on constant questioning), while the ones saying that there are no doubts are them.
They are dogmatic and they shout if something different is said than what they say.
I hear you Student, but look on the bright side…Gail has provided this forum and given us the leeway to talk about this stuff, even though it’s not exactly finite world issues.
God bless you Gail.
Everyone I know has been jabbed and now they are on to the boosters. I just don’t talk about it. No point. The jab can’t be un-taken.
In my experience, a lot of people have reluctantly taken the jab….pressure from work, pressure from family, wanting to travel or have a social life…some hoped that taking the jab would bring an end to this whole drama….
The best you can do is have a defence….explain why you are not taking it….it’s just a weird time….let’s hold onto our sanity!
You are right JonF, thank you.
Yes it’s hard when someone close to me announce they are going to get booster shot I just say are you sure about that? I have lost a few friends over it when I would push harder. Same with our energy crisis… they think I am paranoid. On the contrary I listen to all sides before I make my judgment. I have studied solar and batteries and wind farms etc… I used to think that was answer too! CoMe on nuclear fusion! Our last hope! Unless we have another 10 years left of BAU then maybe something else will come up.
I see oil being the biggest problem in the near term; if this omicron doesn’t work and keep everyone scared then the economies will try to take off but without enough re investment into oil it won’t happen.
If they are dead set on it why discourage… as dunc is fond of saying … it’s a great way to improve the overall gene pool…
Right dunc?
We will get a chance to see whether our biggest problem is oil, or coal, or natural gas, or failing debt, or lack of DEF, or broken supply lines in general.
People have tended to be concerned about oil, because we ran short of it in the1970s. We are running short of coal that can be extracted and shipped easily too, as well. Coal is the number two energy type, after oil. Its relatively lower cost is important for keeping manufactured goods and electricity low-priced.
I recommend bringing a Glock to the discussion — alternatively a sharp knife — if it turns violent it’s best to be ready
If a relative insists on a vax cert to attend a family gathering over the holidays I recommend a drive by… maybe wait till they are having dessert?

” if you have to suppress contrasting opinions, it means that you have something to hide.”
Great point!
pretty clear Gail has nothing to hide 🙂
Gail, in comparison with our current situation, with this Bardi’s article I see either a similarity with: a) the situation before WWII in Germany, where – due to economical crisis and scarce resources – Jews became the group to ostracize and also b) a similiarity with Soviet Union collapse, whose group of States separated because of low prices of energy, respect what was necessary for producers.
I think you are right.
I have been commenting here for months…! and having my comments thrown in willy nilly…..is almost akin to censorship! Especially when others can comment about hanging people and posting with glee pictures of dead children without hesitation!
Sorry. I have been trying to do Christmas shopping and other things. It has been hard to keep up with deleting inappropriate comments.
We can invent reasons why the comments stay up long enough for the OFW Core to read them … then delete them the next day… I think that arrangement … will work for everyone
Now when will J’ASSinda do the right thing and hang herself?

Please let me say that we have to be patient.
I think Gail is making an extraordinary and overtime work during this period.
My impression is that this blog is receiving many comments and discussions lately in very short time in comparison to the past.
I’ve seen that the number of comments is increasing in a very short time for every article, while in the past it was not so fast, although many comments arrived anyway.
So, thank you very much Gail for your hard work and, for us, let’s be patient.
At the end of the day, we are only guest in someone’s else home here 🙂
Rage against the Machine!
LONDON (AP) — A British appellate court has opened the door for Julian Assange to be extradited to the United States by overturning a lower court ruling that found the WikiLeaks founder’s mental health was too fragile to withstand the American criminal justice system.
The appellate court ruling handed down Friday is likely to be appealed.
A lower court judge earlier this year refused an American request to extradite Assange to the U.S. to face spying charges over WikiLeaks’ publication of secret military documents a decade ago. District Judge Vanessa Baraitser denied extradition on health grounds, saying Assange was likely to kill himself if held under harsh U.S. prison conditions.
The United States appealed, challenging the notion that Assange’s mental health made him too vulnerable to withstand the U.S. judicial system. Lawyer James Lewis said Assange “has no history of serious and enduring mental illness” and does not meet the threshold of being so ill that he cannot resist harming himself.
U.S. authorities have told British judges that if they agree to extradite Assange, he could serve any U.S. prison sentence he receives in his native Australi

>2% of our population cannot maintain a high technology system like ours.
On the contrary.
The world was perfectly fine when about 100 million people provided all the work in the civilization around 1913, which produced great culture, technology and other advancement
Frankly speaking, at least 1/3 of the world’s pop is unnecessary. If they disappear without a trace, the world won’t miss them too much.
Harvard and the world’s top institutions do not enlarge their enrollment just because population grew. The number of valuable people are absolute, not relative.
If, say, we cut the bottom 90% of people from existence we save more than 90% of remaining resources, although I am afraid the damage has been already done.
The space debris created to broadcast things in, say, Chinese, Malay or Swahili could have been saved by not developing these regions, for example.
I don’t think your assertion is really true. The economy needs to keep growing. If we cut 90% of people out, we eliminate 90% of “demand.” We no longer need nearly as many homes or schools or teachers. We need lots and lots of people to repair roads and pipelines, because nearly the full amount of these are still needed. Overhead for most businesses becomes way too high relative to sales, because the number of customers drops. Economies of scale tend to disappear.
Gail, yes and no. If 90% of population is removed you are right the whole length of a transmission line still needs to be maintained. What would have to happen is a reduction of the number of transmission lines. That is some areas will need to be removed from active civilization support. Maybe between the Rockies and the Mississippi. In areas that are being supported where three transmission lines run side by side two of the three can be abandoned.
Returning most of the land area to nature is explicitly in the published plans of the ruling class.
Ed, I live in the middle of Missouri. My mother, who will be 79 years old next week, grew up on a farm on the northern edge of the Ozarks. Her family was in an area that was one of the last to be electrified. She had to do her studies by oil lamp until her teens, and the family did not have indoor plumbing until she married and left home. She had a rather spartan upbringing. The area is still rather out of the way, and probably would be the one of the first to lose its first world amenities in the coming collapse.
Also, I would like to add, a huge amount of land where my grandpa’s farm was has been bought up by the State of Missouri, and added to the purview of the state Conservation Department, so yes, Ed, a lot of the land in that area is being returned to nature already.
“the whole length of a transmission line still needs to be maintained”
No. I would think the length will be shortened and only the most efficient and cost effective would remain. As population expands, you have to climb higher up the tree to harvest the enery/resource. When it declines, then you have less up keep, although no doubt there is a relative loss in efficiencies of scale. But a new equilibrium has to be established.
Gail seems to get caught in a circular catch 22 argument. The whole system, from health care workers, teachers, roads, pipelines, and roads contracts, cutting costs as the population declines. Yes fewer people to buy things to support the current level of production- which is why production has to fall.
yes you are right…..if this was 1919 but it is not! Your government would fail. There would be no checks from the government. There would be no pension….no roads….No police! I know I have a fair amount of people that I would like to get revenge on……..going down swinging…

norm – kids – vax – why?
Gail,
I keep saying, it is not the population but the distribution. Also, it is the education, social intelligence and many other things which determine necessity.
Guess: we have too few women who are capable of being good mothers, hence growth is limited in areas not always appreciated. “The hand that rocks the cradle guides the nation.” Also, there are too few men capable of doing the male job of providing for and keeping safe the family.
Dennis L.
Dennis,
Maybe the distribution problem is unavoidable – remember John Colhoun’s mice experiments? Even though space, food and water were plentiful, the mice tended to crowd into the same areas to live and taking cues from each other , they tended to want to feed in the same spots at the same time.
This relentless population/resource pressure led to all sorts of dysfunctional behaviours…fertility declined and the population eventually dwindled to nothing.
It would be interesting to see what happened in Colhoun’s experiment if the older rats were culled.
Given the current labor shortage which seems real, perhaps there are too many people who really don’t or can’t help others and are a burden to all even when spread evenly over a population.
I don’t know, but something is not working.
Dennis L.
Dennis, if I recall correctly, you live in MN also. I would love to return to work, as I was forced into early retirement. I am highly skilled and could work in a number of fields that are in need. However, I will not vaccinate or wear a mask. As I work with children, that is not tolerated here. My retired husband would be happy to work part-time…same issue all over again. Many jobs no longer easily filled ( bus drivers, substitutes at school) were formerly filled by retired workers in need of income. I think we are a larger part of the missing “hole” in labor than is usually accounted for.
in 1913 the surplus energy available was coal, lighting was gas, from coal, and oil. Advanced technology was pretty much the steam engine.
if you research your social history for the period, youll find basic living conditions were abysmal for the people who delivered that energy base.
My grandparents lived it–I knew what their cottage was like. Awful–yet normal for the standard of the day.
not enough people existed to support sophisticated technology that was necessary for medical care– as an example–
if you expect ‘modern lifestyle’ you have to supply the manpower to support it, and to make use of it in an ‘ongoing’ way—you can’t construct a transport system for just a few thousand users. doesn’t work like that.
Robots?–forget it. Robots are energy consumers. They contribute nothing except infinite consumption.
Robots have colonized the moon and will develop efficient solar energy transference not necessarily in that order and they already live in your computer they can do anything there they developed the cryptofusion most won’t want to come out until its safe on the moon oh yeah which does not exist because FE and everything is a projection and the robots know bro they know they are helping us now helping usher the meat into the cave where we be powered on warm and safe to dream up shit like this and im not even an exaflop.

middle symptoms
low symptoms
We now know there is not risk of transmission from people with no symptoms that was a Fauci myth from AIDs time and again from early CV times.
The science says the vax does next to nothing. It may help the vaxxed die less often during the three months it is active. So lets follow the science and treat the two groups equally until there is a reason to believe otherwise.

The next Irish GE is on or before Feb. 2025, which may give Scotland a chance to have its independence referendum first.

> Support for Sinn Féin hits new high according to latest polls
Sinn Féin have climbed further ahead of Government parties in the latest Irish Times/Ipsos MRBI opinion poll.
As reported in the The Irish Times, support for Sinn Féin has risen by three points to 35 per cent since the last poll in October, meaning the party’s popularity has risen to a record level.
The latest results put Mary Lou McDonald’s party 15 points ahead of Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, which are both at 20 per cent.
Gail, regarding your question in the title of this post, “Is it possible the world is approaching end times?” I do not think so. The world is going to keep going for a long time. The human system is going through a turbulent time, however, there is a path forward.
It may be good for your to spend some time with younger people, as outlook tends to depress with age as a natural consequence of the lifecycle and, in your specific case, your reading patterns and analysis.
Most of human history has been characterized by very high infant mortality and high incidence of fatal disease. Famines are cyclical. Yet humanity has survived. Some people will struggle in some places, however, I think most people will be okay if the system is intelligently managed and people understand there may be some supply challenges.
I had thought about calling the article, “Is it possible that the world economy is approaching end times?”, but decided against it. Perhaps that would be a more accurate statement of the situation. Of course, without the current world economy, the lives of the vast majority of us would somehow cease.
I know that evolution of pre-humans toward becoming human beings seems to have started about 2 million years ago, when somehow pre-humans first learned how to increase the food supply in ways that allowed the brain to grow bigger and teeth and guts to grow smaller. According to one researcher, this may have been accomplished by harvesting marrow from the thigh bones of already dead animals. Along the way, a portfolio of other techniques were added, mostly centered around human’s control of fire. Being able to cook food was a “game changer.” Being able to make better tools helped as well.
Through this very long period, ice ages came and went, and humans persisted. Hunting (probably mostly fishing) and gathering persisted.
I would agree that there is a substantial chance that humans will persist. Whether they will persist at a level above hunting and gathering is not clear to me, however. Hunting and gathering is the approach that has worked for a very long time. Any level of complexity above this takes a great deal of self-organization to work. Even hunting and gathering is not at all easy. It requires large areas of land with suitable climate for humans to live year around. This land must have an abundance of plants and animals. With all of the damage humans have done, it is not clear there is a lot of this left.
my assessment of the 312 years since the industrial revolution began, is that this is the period of the supernova of human existence:
“a brief flash of heat and light, then we sink back into the darkness whence we came”.
seems to conform to the laws of physics somehow,in earth history terms, it has been no more than the blink of an eye–maybe we should bear that in mind.
Quite so, Norman.
And industrial civilisation is also the ‘super nova’ of terrestrial planetary energy dissipation, at least thus far, the burning off of ‘fossil fuels’ mainly that have accumulated since the Devonian Period (419.2 million to 358.9 million years ago). The planet has been preparing this ‘flare up’ for a long time. If we are going to emphasise the cosmic laws of physics then it would be congruent to take the wider, cosmic temporal and ‘teleological’ view too.
All that is ‘really happening’ is that the cosmos is forming ever more complex dissipative structures to concentrate and to dissipate energy. ‘All reality is will to power.’ And that is the story of organic planets, the same as stars – and cultures and civilisations with their economic societies. The same is true of species and persons. ‘Reality’ is white dots in the sky while the odd planet turns green to do the same ‘job’ with energy (and even that is perceptual).
The concentration of power entails a certain ‘ordering’ of entities that can give an impression of ‘means and ends’ (which concepts are imposed on the data), but the ‘real’ process itself is the concentration and dissipation of energy. ‘All reality is will to power’. Power concentration and dissipation is itself the ‘end’ in so far as there is one (which there does not seem to be, as that would imply some sort of ‘intentionality’, which would seem to be a naive projection of subjective structures onto reality – ‘will’ in the place of simple tendency).
Our perspectives tend to be human, in the same way as all species tend to see things their own way – so we tend to see it all as if it is all about us. And AGW perspectives are anthropocentric too, about what ‘values’ we propose as ‘important’. The planet is an endless flux, and climates, ecosystems and species come and go all the time. It is no ‘massive deal’ to the planet.
Our metabolic speed of perception makes ‘things’ (as if they exist) seem to be ‘constant’, but there is no ‘essence’ (esse – being) to ‘things’ but ‘becoming’. Everything is in state of development, a process of becoming what it is not. There is no real, lasting stability, ‘equilibrium’ – or ‘aim’ at any end ‘type’. (Types strengthen and weaken, they come and go, the same as species and everything else.)
So, it is just the planet ‘doing what it does’. It ‘is what it is’. Industrial civilisation and AGW have no inherent ‘meaning’ beyond what we project into them. Stars burn and then burn out. The odd planet turns green, species come and go, energy gets concentrated from the star and dissipated, and eventually they end too. Life here has maybe a billion years left, and the earth will be absorbed by the sun in about 7.5 billion years.
That is the ‘big picture’ of ‘what happened there’. We tend to think that it is all (including what we do) all about us, but that is just an interpretation.
I agree with you. Everything is always changing.
We see things in a way that will make them fit in with our ideas of creating large structures that will last 50 or 100 years or more. We want everything to stay constant, so our fixed investments will have adequate value. But it doesn’t really work that way.
As Heraclitus said some 2500 years ago:
“Nothing endures but change.”
and maybe the most dangerous part of all–in human-time terms, is the collective thinking that it is all subject to god-law, not cosmic law, and that if we placate the gods, it will somehow ‘work out’ just fine
WVK?
Unless you are into Hindu philosophy, what do you mean by this “cosmic law” that everything is supposed to be subject to? You’r not one of those people who think it’s turtles all the ay down, are you?
No, we will move onto fusion, and after that zero point energy and dilithium crystals. Hubbert and Sagan both said we would move onto fusion. I want my fusion. I want more. I’m entitled to fusion. I deserve more. I demand it. Where is my fusion? Where is my more?
It’s just 30 years away, like it was in 1960.
KVW – kids vaxxed why?
“in ways that allowed the brain to grow bigger and teeth and guts to grow smaller”
Low IQ and obesity continue to correlate. Big ‘guts’… There seems to be a vicious circle with lower childhood IQ (age 7) correlating with adult obesity, and high body weight in turn faster ageing the brain.
Perhaps the underlying evolutionary pattern is that lower IQ persons would be less capable of constantly securing fresh food and so their bodies stored fat. Or perhaps adaptation to agriculture with its carbs have lowered IQ. Or perhaps HG/ farmer genes/ types have got nothing to do with it. Hard to say.
https://psychcentral.com/blog/how-obesity-affects-the-human-brain#1
> Does IQ Level Determine Body Weight?
Statistically significant correlation between excess body weight and lower IQ level has been demonstrated in multiple studies. What was not clear for very long time is the direction of causality. Does the excess body weight cause the decline in intellectual capabilities? Or maybe people with lower IQ level are more prone to become overweight?
Although some earlier studies concluded that lower IQ level might be caused by obesity, the most recent prospectively longitudinal studies show that this is not correct. These studies demonstrate that one of the risk factors for obesity is lower IQ level.
A meta-analysis published in 2010 summarized 26 different studies on this topic. The main conclusion of this analysis was that there is a strong link between lower IQ level in childhood and the development of obesity in adulthood.
In one Swedish study involving 5286 males the IQ level was tested at the age of 18 and again at the age of 40. At each testing, the BMI of participants was also evaluated. The results clearly show that individuals with lower IQ level have higher BMI.
Another study performed in New Zealand included 913 participants. Their IQ levels were measured at the ages of 3, 7, 9, 11 and finally at the age of 38. This study also concluded that lower IQ level in childhood leads to obesity. People with lower IQ level at the age of 38 were more obese than people with higher IQ level.
Over 3000 people were participating in a study conducted in the Great Britain. The subjects were followed for more than 50 years. Their IQ levels were measured at the age of 7, 11 and 16. At the age of 51, their BMI was measured. Their results show without any doubt that IQ level at the age of 7 can predict higher BMI at the age of 51. Also, the results show that BMI grows faster after the age of 16 among people with lower IQ level.
Another study conducted in the Great Britain involved 17,414 individuals. The IQ level was assessed at the age of 11. BMI was evaluated at the ages of 16, 23, 33 and 42. The results of this study also confirm that lower childhood IQ level leads to obesity in adulthood.
“Low IQ and obesity continue to correlate.”
I think it depends on the economy. In modern economies with many processed foods, and many poor people with little time, I think that poverty and obesity tend to correlate. IQ tends to correlate with both as well. There may be some feedback loops making these correlations worse. For example, obese people tend to have huge health problems. Health problems interfere with their ability to work, and creates some of the problems we are familiar with. Also, fresh fruit and vegetables are expensive and may be in short supply. The poor often are cut out from buying many of these.
If we look at India, Bangladesh, and Yemen, I would doubt we would see the same correlation. Poor people can’t afford food.
Dopamine receptors are perhaps also a part of the picture. It may be general brain health/ functionality, which underlies general IQ (g factor) that is not affected by education (/ age).
Ibid. > Apart from structural changes, obesity can also change the way our brain works. Dopamine is one of the neurotransmitters which is involved in reward circuits and motivation. One study concluded that concentration of available dopamine receptors in the brain correlates with BMI. Individuals with higher BMI have a lower concentration of available dopamine receptors that may lead to a lack of pleasure after eating normal size portions and the urge to eat more to feel satisfied.
This view was confirmed by another study which analyzed the response of obese people to milkshakes during a period of time. Their response was analyzed using functional MRI. The measurements were repeated half a year later and showed that brain response was a lot weaker in people who gained excess body weight between two measurements. The researchers concluded that obese individuals feel less satisfaction when eating in comparison to lean individuals, due to a lower concentration of dopamine receptors in the brain.
I suspect that obesity is related to a general deterioration of the physiological type under industrial civilisation – the collapse in the infant mortality rate, health care, hygiene etc.
Studies suggest that IQ (g factor) has declined by the equivalence of 15 IQ points in Britain since the Victorians – and it is falling elsewhere in NW Europe too.
The increase in obesity may correlate with that decline.
Nature will find ways to repair itself. ‘The Lord giveth and he taketh away’, as the Bible would put it.
Starve the obeast!
And the number of the obeast is 666 kilocalories at each sitting?
The correlation between Stooopidity and MOREONS is 100%.
Speaking of this .. norm – KVW?
Correlation is not causation. What grows a big, functional brain is meat. People eating high carbohydrates will be obese and have a small brain. A famous study about B12 in vegans had a shocking side results: the brains of all the vegans in the study were smaller than all the brains of the omnivores. In other words the biggest vegan brain was smaller than the smallest omnivore brain. If interested I can find where it is discussed (of course not in a scientific journal, no).
anna eats bananas … what would that do to a person’s brain.. oooooo ooooo oooooo
Meat certainly contains a lot of brain nutrients. The deficit is in vegans. I am not sure that there is any evidence, or suggestion, that the same issue is linked to high carbs or body weight for meat eaters. They still eat meat.
I wonder what norm and dunc eat?
Sorry Cato, most can’t look straight at it. It’s remarkable that this made it into the marginal mainstream.

Tonia Buxton [UK], who until yesterday I had never heard of but she is a TV presenter, says her mother-in-law was killed by the lock downs, although it sounds like the main culprit was her GP (General Practitioner, the doctor you go and see at your local clinic). GP refused to see her, A&E (Accident and Emergency) were too busy to see her, and she died of ovarian cancer, it sounds like never having seen a doctor. I used to think from personal experience this (worse-than-useless GPs) was just a Scotland thing, but seems England too.

Yesterday the BBC announced the death of Steve Bronski, aged 61, a member of one of my favourite bands from the 1980s, Bronski Beat. The BBC avoided mentioning cause of death, whilst the Gaurdian newspaper stated “No cause of death was given”.

I kid you not … when I was writing that story about the uni hazing and ball room dancer I was thinking about another incident in the pub …
I’m with a couple of the guys and for some reason someone at another table started up an argument with one my mates… and this was when Bronski Beat had that horrible yet popular song …. and the guy kinda looked a bit like the lead singer … so my mate was taunting him with ‘come on Bronski beat … watcha gonna do Bronski beat’…. cooler heads prevailed…
I even googled to see what that song was … and to recall what the singer looked like (you can see why the bar guy unhinged when my mate taunted him with Bronski Beat hahahaha)

And then within 5 minutes I land on your Bronski Beat comment
CTG – this MUST be a simulation — this is otherwise impossible
Either that or Fast Eddy has received another signal that HE has an important role to play in the CEP…..
FE, we are in a simulation. I have plenty of proof. What you have for Bronski Beat is known as synchronicities. Too many statistically impossible things happening in a short period of time
i think that your ‘proof’ CTG may be gained by inviting people to ‘prove’ that we are not in a simulation.
which isn’t the same thing at all
Unfortunately Norm, no one can prove that you are NOT in a simulation
that was my point CTG
people insist that god exists
precisely because no one can prove that he doesn’t
I’ve not had a very clear sense of it till last night (or early this morning). I was having this ghastly dream…where everything was in grainy black and white. Goons pointed “guns” at people but never fired. Still there were dead people on the ground. You almost knew you were dreaming, but couldn’t change the script. It’s as though the script had petered (run out of juice) to the point of this dreary horror from which there was no escape. Then one got up and there was no pain. Everything was in color, but you felt that that, too, was not real.
And then during the first lockdown Fast subscribed to Les Mills classes online … just after lockdown .. Fast and M Fast went to town for lunch after doing a class.. and Fast says to M Fast I wonder what the Les Mills instructors do on weekends… do they go on drunken benders or pop pills and snort blow … and M Fast says .. I doubt that… they are probably very healthy people…
Anyhow… we eat lunch and are walking back to the car … and we cross paths with the woman in the red

Fast Eddy is seriously beginning to believe these are signals… from the Higher Power… and that HE has been chosen for a special role in the CEP…. HE is being prepped for the role of Messiah… HE is waiting on the call from their agent to begin the negotiations….
I am afraid not, Fast Eddy. More humility is required.
You gotta think big…
CTG what do you think … is FE the Messiah? Do the Organizers have big things in mind for FE?
That Boris is popping out kids might indicate that even national leaders are not aware of the CEP… of course it could mean that there is an alternative to the CEP.
I am going with the former because there is no civilization after peak oil…. perhaps they are being told that there is some Great Reset planned… that we need to reduce population dramatically otherwise we go extinct. And that they get spots for their families on the life boats?
Doctors are generally smarter than politicians and they have been for the most part captured…
Snooki replied to your comment
Oh man, yes, my aunt… 🤦🏽♀️ She even went out of her way to write me to say she was glad Italy mandated vaccines to work (regardless of your profession, though, of course, politicians were excluded) and she inquired if I had resigned from my job yet. WTAF. A lawyer. And staunch defender of ‘My Body My Choice’ in terms of Roe v. Wade. Under what legal precedent would mandating an experimental product – with death (and other severely debilitating illnesses) as known possible side effects- be defensible?
Note – politicians in the US are also exempt – not sure about elsewhere… perhaps promised spots on the (non-existent) boats? You’d do just about anything to secure those spots….

Court-Ordered Pfizer Documents They Tried To Have Sealed For 55 years Show 1223 Deaths, 158,000 Adverse Events in 90 Days Post EUA Release
The Most Shocking Document Release Of The Last 100 years
Celia Farber
Dec 6
Dear readers of my Substack, I want to tell you urgently that I am sitting here, as shocked as I can remember being, since I began reporting on pharmaceutical and government/ pharmaceutical predation in 1987/1988, at a rock magazine called SPIN. I’ve spent most of my life shocked, often disoriented, wondering if I can believe my own eyes, and trying to square the countless attacks on my own sanity with what appears to be the impossibly dark truth. For years I processed the relentless violence as some kind of possibility that I had missed something. I don’t anymore. Everybody who has failed to oppose this is complicit in mass murder. There are not “two sides.” Pfizer itself can explain exactly why all the people dropping dead have died, but they felt it should be hidden for 55 years, so they could continue to murder and maim without interference. The mass media is the engine of the catastrophe, the sine qua non.
Most smoking guns are not really smoking guns, but this one is.
A group called “Public Health and Medical Professionals For Transparency Documents” sued the FDA for the release of Pfizer’s documents concerning adverse events from their Covid “vaccine”, which Pfizer fought to have concealed 55 years, but a courageous judge ordered them released anyway.
My God.
In the 90 days following EUA release of the “vaccine” they recorded 1223 deaths, and 158,000 adverse reactions, including fetal deaths, spontaneous abortions and more. They call this, in their encrypted, trans-human Pharma-lingo, the “post marketing experience.”
Anybody who tells you these “vaccines” are safe is somewhere between hypnotized, dishonest, and malicious.
As these Pfizer documents lay bare, our bodies are nothing but their field of sadistic experimentation, their wealth gain, their total self-appointed right to destroy life, while raking in billions, maybe trillions, and even guilt-tripping their endless victims for not promoting “vaccines” once they have been crippled. Even the dead are expected to promote vaccines from the grave, via their surviving loved ones.
Yet you are an “anti-vaxxer.”
And this is a fate worse, they make clear, than death.
But no need to believe “anti-vaxxers” anymore—here’s the data from Pfizer, of everything these predators have “observed” in their victims, whose lives they are ostensibly so insistent upon “saving” and who were healthy before the shots, but spellbound by fear, and sacrificed by an unspeakably cold-blooded media:

https://www.trtworld.com/magazine/lebanon-s-meltdown-drives-evictions-it-s-only-going-to-get-worse-here-52435
20litres translates into ~200mi in low speed (non hw) traffic in the latest hi tech gasoline econobox carz, which one could assume are not prevalent in Lebanon at the moment. So, I gather their older fleet must be way less efficient, say 1/2 – 1/3 of that range. And that’s very short distance allowance after-all if you will.. and understandably most people can’t blow half the min wage on it anyway.. Hence, we can guesstimate that former ~middle class can afford now only few dozen miles per month.. That’s for sure killing all sorts of economic interactions, and it’s a process so it will likely get worse..
The situation gets worse and worse in these poor countries!

Why we are giving covid vaccines to healthy young children.

WVK?
Just learned that my friends 28 year old son is on sick leave. His muscles started aching and lost their power. For over a week he had to have help to go the bathroom and a month and a half later he can only manage short walks.
He was a healthy young man until this set in, two weeks after his second “vaccine”.
Coincidence my as s!
My next door neighbour is a builder 55 years old. Work hard, play hard kind of guy. His work van would even disappear most weekends. He lived for his multiple foreign holidays every year. Never knew him be sick in the five years since he moved in. He agreed with me from the start that covid was nonsense and vaccinations unnecessary. We used to talk a lot. But whaddyaknow, in the summer he went and got the shot so he could continue to holiday in the sun. When he told me, we had a minor falling out after I said he shouldn’t have done it and he wouldn’t be able to travel for much longer anyway. We avoided each other after this.
Maybe three months ago his work van stopped leaving his drive. I knew he was ill because I could hear his wife and daughter in the garden discussing him being in and out of hospital, and when I heard him over the fence he coughed a lot and his voice sounded broken. His work van started leaving daytime again about a month ago. But I never saw him again in person until last weekend when we met as he was putting up Christmas decorations on the front of his house. He looked a changed man. His skin had turned yellow and he looked frail. We chatted in a friendly fashion for ten minutes, but in order to avoid further conflict I did not ask about his health. But let’s just say I have my suspicions as to the cause of his sudden lack of well being.
This is a hilarious story. I am so glad it turned out badly for him. You must feel pleased that you have been vindicated
If it’s vaccine induced liver damage, he should feel special. Only 80 cases of jaundice on the MHRA yellow card reporting scheme..

I wonder how this will play out. Will someone come up with a computer patch that will allow the trucks to do without the DEF, or what?
Same issue applied to Europe a couple of months back. Only one factory and it had closed down due to gas prices I think.
Presumably they’ve found a workaround.

Lots of good news again today, Harry!
Or are you only picking out all the best ones?
Tim, I always focus on what I think are key areas of risk and vulnerability. Here’s one especially for you:
“Japanese Firms Facing Strongest Cost Pressure Since 1980.
“Japan’s price index of corporate goods rose 9% in November from a year earlier as the pace of gains accelerated from the previous month, according to a report by the Bank of Japan on Friday.”

Interesting, seems like real inflation (industrial not merely RE, ..) after a noticeable delay (and precursors in 2.5-3rd world) is finally about to splash down into the core as well.. Thanks.

Alix Mayer is vaccine injured, but not from the COVID vaccine
The COVID vaccines are not the only dangerous vaccines. Would you believe that the entire childhood vaccine schedule is dangerous? You will after you watch my interview with Alix Mayer.
Steve Kirsch
Dec 10
On December 9, I interviewed Alix Mayer, President, Children’s Health Defense, California Chapter.
Hashtag: #covidshotregret | GETTR
She’s vaccine injured from a set of vaccines she took prior to a business trip. She’s never recovered.
Here’s the interview on Rumble.
Key things I learned from talking with Alix:
All the 16 childhood vaccines should be considered unsafe because all the safety data shows that kids are uniformly less healthy after taking the vaccines. However, all the papers published in medical journals documenting this have been censored and the people who wrote them have lost their jobs.
The CDC is supposed to be assessing the safety of the children’s vaccines every 2 years. They have never done this. They even admit it. They don’t have any plans to comply with the law. Nobody is holding them accountable.
There has been a huge increase in autism and other disabling conditions after vaccination. There is no doubt they are linked.
RFK, Jr. has been trying to get a debate with the CDC for 20 years about the safety of the childhood vaccines. The CDC will not debate him. They refuse to be put in a situation where they could be asked questions that they don’t want to answer. Someone is hiding in the shadows and it isn’t RFK, Jr.
Judy Mikovits discovered impurities in the vaccines but they forced out of her job to silence her.
https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/alix-mayer-is-vaccine-injured-but
Great interview. Alix provides a lot of facts.
American kids these days get 72 jabs by the time they are eighteen.
It’s a good thing they are all so safe and effective! /sarc
Not that I’d ever have children… but it would make sense as a parent to opt out of as many of these as possible… some will be required to attend school… but surely many are optional.
Hoolio the skinny dog got a vaccine last week.. and I mentioned we have not vaxxed our other dog since we brought her in from Bali … they said she should get Parvac… I probably wont because she has virtually no interaction with other dogs… (we have rabbit fencing so no dogs can get in + we have turrets around the property with machine guns that are hooked up to motion sensors so if a dog tried to bust in he’d be torn to pieces by 50cal full metal jackets… every so often a sheep triggers the sensors… it makes one hell of a noise …) and if he does encounter another dog it’s likely to be vaxxed…
With children (and in general) f789 everyone else… let them take the injections … Leverage the MOREONS to your benefit….
With dogs … Parvac is over a hundreds bucks so Save the Money! That’s 10 grams of Bolivian Blow.
I think someone else has snorted that already.
I don’t blame him. Imagine trying to carry out the CEP sober!

Eddy so if one is over 80 might be a good idea to get the vax. The second graph is number not rate. All it says is most people are vaxxed.
Seems the jab (or something) is killing those old people… might want to take your chances with covid — most dying are riddled with disease…
If you are a sack of disease who gives a shit either way — death is surely a welcome escape from your misery?
I have ZERO disease – and I have ZERO fear of death — what’s the big deal? On the + side you get to find out if there is anything more to pretty much pointless existence.
Dogs don’t worry about death.

The wilful blindness of our “free press” really is something to behold.
MOSCOW (AP) — “Russia’s top military officer on Thursday sternly warned neighboring Ukraine against trying to reclaim control over separatist areas by force, saying that Moscow will “suppress” any such attempt.”
“The statement by Gen. Valery Gerasimov, chief of the Russian military’s General Staff, comes amid soaring tensions over a Russian troop buildup near the border with Ukraine that stoked Ukrainian and Western fears of a possible invasion.”
“A senior Russian diplomat doubled down on Gerasimov’s warning by saying that the failure to stem the mounting tensions could push Russia and the West to a redux of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis that put the world on the verge of a nuclear war.”
“Gerasimov complained about NATO’s growing presence near Russian borders and the increasing number and scope of drills by alliance troops. He particularly noted an increase in patrol flights by U.S. strategic bombers near Russian territory, saying they practiced launching cruise missiles at targets in Russia.”

Iceland Refuses to Power New Bitcoin Farms Amid Electricity Shortages
Iceland’s largest utility, Landsvirkjun, has been forced to limit energy supplies to power-hungry industrial customers including aluminum producers and fish processing plants. The restrictions have been applied to consumers with curtailable short-term contracts as well. Data centers mining digital currencies are among the affected enterprises and the company has been turning away new bitcoin miners.
Landsvirkjun explained the need for the reduction citing a malfunction at a power station and the low water reservoir levels, Bloomberg reported. The supplier also faced a delay in sourcing electricity from an external producer. The utility announced on Tuesday that the cuts were effective immediately.
https://news.bitcoin.com/iceland-refuses-to-power-new-bitcoin-farms-amid-electricity-shortages/
Interesting! I hadn’t thought of Iceland having an electricity shortage.
The Bitcoin disciples (disclaimer, I own some cryptos) haven’t explained to me how this system is going to sustain itself once all the coins are mined at 21,000,000. We are nearing 20 million now. So the miners get paid in rewards of new bitcoin and fees. I have done transfers and I feel moving some crypto from one wallet to another for 60 to 100 dollars worth of crypto service fees are excessive. The fees are one of the reasons I am convinced that this will never be a viable form of everyday payment. Once the cryptos are mined then the miners depend on JUST fees, so transactions are going to become even more expensive. The fees will have to cover electricity, hardware, profit and admin.
My question is to the people that are supposed to know about Bitcoin is as it becomes more used, static amount of coins that get more and more fragmented, the transactions become smaller but in higher numbers the blockchain and the computing power to keep it running will continue to grow exponentially. What is the business plan to make this feasible as a miner? It will price itself into obsolesce is my feeling.
WE have a cure for the pandemic and have since the begining. Trouble is it only cost 6 cents a pill.

Right !
As the famous line in the Jerry McGuire Movie: “SHOW ME THE MONEY !!!!!!!”
Bill Gates invested several hundred million into BioNTech (Pfizer) and Tony Fauci owns some Covid vaccine patents. That’s a large money haul for both men. That’s why we’ll keep seeing new Boogymen i.e. (variants) popup. A new variant, that’ll take 3-4 booster shots. Big Pharma is staring at a potential multi trillion dollar business. With ZERO liability.
What pandemic?
Looks even easier than that. Blood level vitamin D3 seems to stop the infection before it starts and even when you get it, a level of 50ng/ml D3 level has 0… zero… nada… zilch fatalities on record. 4000 UI in summer, 7000 UI in winter as well as get outdoors and enjoy life may be the simple key that governments around the world will never tell you.
Here is the Dr. Rose Dr McCullough paper on myocarditis events CENSORED off of pub med and other prominent “peer review” publishing. Reason for censorship “we reserve the right” . Isnt the idea behind public peer review of papers that “peers” can see if the paper has validity or not?
Anna this is why we should “trust the science” yes ?Luckily we have just streamlined the process the editors will just disappear papers that are not favorable for the injections.

Some on the ground observations in Penang, Malaysia
1. Just went to the wet market (farmer’s market). Prices are going up by 30-40% just within 1 week. Price controls in place which will in the end destroy the supply chain. Even the seller said to us that it is not possible to sell at $7 if the cost is $8. So, he might as well don’t sell.
2. There are more ambulance sirens lately. Perhaps way too many cardio problems? Perhaps it is due to PPSD (Post Pandemis Stress Disorder) or perhaps it is due to snow shovelling
p.s. do I need to put “/s” since we don’t have snow in the tropics?

Scientists May Have Discovered Why COVID Hits Fat People Harder
https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/scientists-may-have-discovered-why-covid-hits-fat-people-harder
Do you even need a scientist to tell you this? Do we even need scientist at all?
According to the article:
“The science” is going the way of the dollar and the euro….an increasingly worthless currency….
Everything hits fat people harder. Except hunger of course.
My mate’s heart rate is 118 … he doesn’t even hit that when playing hockey … we are off to the hospital….. I’m along to ask why they are doing nothing
Sorry to hear that about your friend, FE. You know they won’t blame the vaccine. It’s 100% safe, that’s what they’ll tell you.
4 hours of tests later… cannot find any obvious damage but concerned about being a pro athlete .. 32 years old .. and having dagger like pain in the heart when walking 50m….
Emerge doc called a cardiologist and we listened … he told him he’s got a pro hockey player with these symptoms but tests are ok — cardio said ‘phone is ringing off the hook with GP’s asking for advice on young men with post Pfizer heart problems’ — he told the doc to prescribe a drug to treat pericarditis… if no improvement within two weeks come back
Then Fast Eddy interjected and asked if this would warrant an exemption on further Death Jabs.. doc said need GP but ya this should get you a request — BUT – the ministry has to approve the request and from what I am hearing unless you are near death it’s going to be rejected….
There was a moment of stunned silence as the 3 of us digested that — then the doc said – I know – it’s not good – and I don’t agree with it – but there is nothing we can do…
Some positives from the day — no obvious damage so the pills might fix it…
And got a message from the young lad… there’s a good chance he’ll be able to land a job that does not require the Death Jab… he’s got another interview tomorrow..
norm – why do healthy kids get the injection?
Try straight lemon juice but from a tree i use it for every ailment from what you’re saying what has he got to lose a mate of mine had a brain tumour i told him to take the lemon he did not listen to me instead listened to the doctors six months later he was dead dead at 44
iN THE EARLY DAYS OF ALL THIS, i READ WHAT SOME THIRD WORLD PHYSICIANS AND “HEALERS” HAd TO SAY ABOUT ALL THIS: Sour substances repel the virus. A highish daily dose of vitamin C has kept me from having even a single cold episode over the past 30-odd years. So, why not add *chewing* the very sour vitamin C tablets apart from simply swallowing them whole? It’s one of my “add ons” for when I’m feeling low. More recently, I add vitamin D for the down feeling. Your lemon remedy sounds good, but maybe “off the tree” is too much? Do you mean a real lemon you can buy in the store?
Lemon juice is real effective at killing bacteria and naturally. If you ever suffer from the runs, take a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice, either freshly squeezed or concentrate. It’ll stop the runs within a half hour.
I’ll be sure to let him know
I also let him know that in this condition that makes us equal on the ice now hahaha…
Fair enough, lemon juice is a great medicine, but quite not for every ailment. I would not recommend as an eye lotion, for instance.
LOL!
Ontario to announce new COVID-19 measures for proof of vaccination Friday
Ontario is dropping its tentative plan to end the provincial vaccine passport program in mid-January and will require all proof of vaccination certificates to include QR codes, CBC News has learned.
The measures are to be announced Friday but a senior government official provided the details in advance.
The reason for only accepting vaccine certificates with QR codes is to crack down on fraudulent vaccine certificates, the source says.
“Officials say the two measures will enhance Ontario’s efforts to get as much of the province’s population vaccinated against COVID-19.”

Eleven of the 12 confirmed COVID-19 cases tied to an omicron outbreak in the East Bay last week are among fully vaccinated and boosted staff members at Kaiser Permanente’s Oakland Medical Center, according to a spokesperson for the hospital.
The initial case was reported to the Alameda County Public Health Department by Kaiser on Nov. 30. Four days later, the department announced a dozen total suspected cases of the omicron coronavirus variant.

“A killer shot killed our beloved son.” Sudden death of an AWF student in Wrocław
On Saturday (4 December 2021), Dawid Akuła, a 21-year-old student of the Academy of Physical Education in Wrocław, died suddenly. According to his mother’s post on Facebook, he died during a football tournament. The mother mentions vaccination against Covid-19 as the cause of death.
– A killer shot killed our beloved son, who was only 21 years old. Our heart is breaking. During a soccer tournament, he died suddenly, fainted, and the resuscitation did not help. He studied physiotherapy for 2 years. They forced this deadly shot on him. Athletic, healthy – writes the mother of the deceased student. – They murdered our child – he adds in another entry. He also asks for this information to be shared widely. David’s sister reports on Facebook that he was vaccinated with two doses because he “had no choice.”
