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.

Moderna to release Omicron vaccine in early 2022
“The company said it would still be working to develop an omicron-specific booster, however, with the shot expected to advance into clinical trials in early 2022.”
“To respond to this highly transmissible variant, Moderna will continue to rapidly advance an omicron-specific booster candidate into clinical testing in case it becomes necessary in the future.”
“As the coronavirus continues to evolve, Hoge said it is possible the company could develop a vaccine that targets three or even four strains of the virus in a single shot. This year’s flu shot, for example, contains four influenza strains.”

So they made a 100% lethal version of SARS in 2007…
“We adapted the SARS-CoV (Urbani strain) by serial passage in the respiratory tract of young BALB/c mice. Fifteen passages resulted in a virus (MA15) that is lethal for mice following intranasal inoculation. Lethality is preceded by rapid and high titer viral replication in lungs, viremia, and dissemination of virus to extrapulmonary sites accompanied by lymphopenia, neutrophilia, and pathological changes in the lungs. Abundant viral antigen is extensively distributed in bronchial epithelial cells and alveolar pneumocytes, and necrotic cellular debris is present in airways and alveoli, with only mild and focal pneumonitis. These observations suggest that mice infected with MA15 die from an overwhelming viral infection with extensive, virally mediated destruction of pneumocytes and ciliated epithelial cells. The MA15 virus has six coding mutations associated with adaptation and increased virulence; when introduced into a recombinant SARS-CoV, these mutations result in a highly virulent and lethal virus (rMA15), duplicating the phenotype of the biologically derived MA15 virus. Intranasal inoculation with MA15 reproduces many aspects of disease seen in severe human cases of SARS. The availability of the MA15 virus will enhance the use of the mouse model for SARS because infection with MA15 causes morbidity, mortality, and pulmonary pathology.”

Omicron as a Bioweapon: Thoughts and Implications
https://igorchudov.substack.com/p/omicron-as-a-bioweapon-thoughts-and
I just had omicron it was nothing but a pain in the A$$. More scary stories from people trying to spread fear…..I did have Covid a year ago though…
good for you.
you are probably in the best case scenario, where you haven’t damaged your immune system with toxic “vaccines” but have a good natural immune system to fight off infections.
HOWEVER:
how about this future scenario?
start with double jabbed people, and of course that means damaged immune systems from the Alpha-variant “vaccines”.
wait a few months, and then jab them with the NEW Omicron-variant “vaccines”.
people who only have Alpha antibodies will be trying to fight off the mRNA production of Omicron.
what fun that should be!
I think this might become a mass health catastrophe.
but, we are not sure.
the only way to know is to try it out.
c’mon BigPharma, get those NEW “vaccines” into arms so we can see the results.
early 2022 it looks like.
Happy New Year to all the jabbed!

Interesting article. While Omicron could be an accidental lab release or an intentional vaccine release, it also could be an intentional release of a bioweapon. We don’t know at this point what such a bioweapon is supposed to do. There are many possibilities.
Hello Gail, this subject is really interesting. I’m almost sure you have already seen it, but please let me indicate that a flow comments have been given about this subject also here:
https://ourfiniteworld.com/2021/12/03/is-it-possible-that-the-world-is-approaching-end-times/comment-page-23/#comment-335592
As you can immagine, I bring it to your attention, because I’m interested to hear your considerations when they will arrive. Maybe we will know something more about this development in the next days and weeks.
if one came to define the word ‘weapon’ it can only be an ‘object’ that is controlled by and used in an offensive manner by one individual or group, against another individual or group. (this is my definition–so subject to scrutiny btw)
this definition fits a club or an atomic bomb
if a weapon is devised and used that will inevitably affect everyone in equal measure, it ceases to become a ‘weapon’ and becomes a liability (the atomic bomb cannot be used because lethal retaliation is certain. M.A.D.) The cost of maintaining MAD is a liability.
There is always the chance that some crackpot will get his hands on one and use it of course.
Same applies to a virus—releasing it would have to have a ‘purpose’, but no purpose could be defined.
China could not release it on America, because if the $ economy collapsed, so would China’s.
Bezos couldn’t release it to ‘reduce the global population’ because his lavatory wouldn’t flush.
Sorry to disappoint all the conspiratoholics.
Maybe we are thinking of the story wrong. Maybe the people letting loose of the strange viruses are thinking of them more as potential medical saviors, rather than biological weapons. Or, maybe the release of the biological weapons is (repeatedly) accidental, because there is no way that the research labs can, in fact, maintain control of the viruses.
It appears that the search for what might be “biological weapons” and vaccines to control the them is pushed from many directions. With more people in the world crowded into smaller spaces, there is more of a need to control viruses. This is especially a problem for soldiers on boats or airplanes; it is also a problem for tourists and businesses people on boats and aircraft. The push for more research in this direction also comes from the publish or perish nature of universities and the need for ever more growth from the vaccine/biological treatment industry.
The articles from Harvard to the Big House are about vaccines that were made from “live attenuated viruses,” that, after a point in time, “de-attenuated,” even though this was not the expectation of the researchers. The Harvard to the Big House articles point out that viruses travel in swarms. The mix of viruses in the swarm can change remarkably. An attenuated virus swarm can emphasize some portions of the swarm that (at least at that time) have far milder symptoms. If conditions change, the mix within the swarms can change remarkably and de-attenuation can take place.
With live attenuated polio vaccines, the de-attenuation process has taken many years. There are now outbreaks of polio, indirectly resulting from the vaccines that were intended to stop the outbreaks. The de-attenuation process doesn’t necessarily take many years. It could happen in quickly. It might even be involved in vaccine reactions as well as different versions of the virus that we keep encountering.
Rather than thinking of the situation as a conspiracy, we should be thinking about researchers from many countries working together for what they assumed was the common good. They wanted to make attenuated versions of viruses that would provide immunity, without making people sick. In theory, they could release the attenuated versions of viruses, without people knowing about it, and prevent more serious versions of the illness. Or, they could make vaccines for the viruses, and make money.
What we are finding out from all of the bad reactions to the vaccines is that the vaccines are not really working as planned. Som de-attenuation may already taking place. Omicron is very different from both the Wuhan version of the virus and the delta version of the virus. One view is that what we are seeing is not the result of a conspiracy; it is the result of a failed attempt to save the world from undesirable viruses by making attenuated versions of them. No one considered the possibility that attenuated versions of viruses would not stay in their chosen form very long.
i’ve said many times
that the world might–just might–be an aware entity, in a sense that we (as part of it) cannot understand or be even fully aware of.
As every living thing carries a defence mechanism against anything dangerous to itself
and humankind has shown itself time and again willing to destroy its own habitat, it seems to me that viruses such as this one, and previous ones have been released to protect the Earth itself, against us.
viruses spawn ‘zoonotic’ diseases as they jump to humans when humans trespass to deeply into animal territories, and crowd them in unnatural ways.
This latest one has disrupted our predations in ways that no one anticipated. We were ‘too smart’ to be stopped by lifeforms we could not see.
Yet our ‘working functions’ have been disrupted, and no longer work as they used to–ie producing profits pay and pollution—all of which are destructive to the living environment on which we depend–and which all species that share this planet depend.
the extinction rate of ‘lesser’ species is accellerating, crowded off this planet by the exponential growth of ‘us’.
Maybe covid is a kind of global guardian, . Who knows?
certainly, if we try to carry on with e insanity of BAU then we are definitely finished.
covid might just save us from ourselves.
Yes could be possible. It doesn’t even have to be “aware” – just a response to environmental limitations on expansion of life. Liberation of carbon by humans when it was relatively low in accessible environment – may on geological timescale enable greater quantities of life than if had remained locked in subsurface – doesnt mean we get to participate but necessary for future life.
Harvard2bighouse talks about convergent evolution – example of the conditions are similar in two locations on opposite sides of globe – only two places have nearly identical snakes genetically -no path for migration. Distinctly evolved Florida Sturgeon and Russian Sturgeon different evolutionary paths/ancestors suprised that able to compatible for cross fertilization.
or psyco/socio paths were evolvd as a necessary part of our purpose – to achieve Carbon recovery. Conspiracies were/are required to achieve maximum energy dissipation and preparation for the next cycle of life. Maximum Power from natural systems is obtained from oscillating non-linear systems – boom/bust growth/collapse it is natures modus operandi and we are its slaves.
I posted figure last night – ~20% China gdp derived from 25% of domestic energy embodied in products to the world. US & EU are approx 1/3% of those exports. So cutting off US & EU only lose 8%. Looks like you may be overestimating a impact of a pull back from US EU during a measured slow down of economies and depopulation – China can increase its energy available per capita by reducing exports to US EU. If drop the dollar and yuan becomes World Currency or significant part of World Currency then they may use the printing press to smooth over economic disruption given adequate energy supply to maintain necessary physical production.
The only thing they really need from US is food – and they already own a good part of those production systems particularly high energy density pork protein – low cost to transport – what is left of US energy when shale bottoms out – US wll have to focus any remaining domestic energy on food production and that will be only thing (other than uranium from weapons decommisioning aka Soviets 1990’s) that will be able to trade to obtain yuan for many imports US will requires from rest of world.
China also certainly has it within its control to rapidly reduce the per capita portion of its “portfolio” (if it hasnt already) certainly speculation that many more killed by Covid than acknowledging and certainly more capable of a North Korea style control of resources that might be demanded by changes in Global Trade to maintain a energy/capita average necessary to sustain some part of existing structures.
if resources are ‘controlled’ in a ‘N Korean’ style, then those resources will be ‘used’ in the same way
ie to maintain an ‘elite’ in a position of power based on the grinding subjection of everyone else.
But this is exactly what the ‘elite’ want, I hear you say.
OK
now look at the state of N Korea, and ask if such a ‘world’ would be sustainable, except in the very short term. possible in theory–but not in practice.
everyone wants BAU–but that isn’t possible in an authoritarian state
the bigger the state gets, the stronger has to be the control aspect
that just gets too top heavy in the end
Re China – my reply was in regard your assertion that US collapse would lead directly to China collapse – China appears to be in a dire energy situation comparable to US – but much of this is pass through energy- significant import of primary energy is exported back out as products to EU US & Japan – they have physical manufacturing capacity already built so perhaps ability to scavange/debt default/reuse as production decrease (much like US oil shale has produced while not paying back debt essentially catabalizing existing infrastructure)
US EU exports only about 6-7% Chinas GDP but uses >8% of their domestic energy to produce. China has available energy/capita by reducing exports so could potentially afford to lose some economy of scale in production without disproportionate effect whereas loss of supply chain in US EU have major impact on their economies.
US billionaires need China so capital will fly if need to survive or will redirect ag land to support China with what remains of US. China already owns US pork production chain and other ag assets. Remaining american might be able to become de-facto Chinese peasants meantime dont hold out much hope for overpopulated UK once energy supply from continent is cutoff – no potential for any significant food production there.
the major proportion of the economic world is interlinked
currently the USA is the major player in that system. China, Russia, EU are also major players
take out one and it weakens the rest—impossible to forecast the result because chaos makes people react in peculiar, usually violent ways.’
you are quite right about uk though–sans energy 67m people cannot feed themselves
WVK?
Yep, as the Greek_duo explained recently: China, Russia, and now India all holding hands are going parallel, basically leaving the legacy play-field for good.
From that one could extrapolate, that in practice means gulag EU and civil war (hot-cold?) in the US.. as these places go starving under.
Sort of rehashed – replay of Byzantium v2.0 as in after the fall of W Roman Empire period..
Interesting big picture illustrations of some energy flows for global economy
Embodied energy in export/import product flows: (~2005 it think)
https://www.sankey-diagrams.com/wp-content/gallery/x_sankey_213/gea_report_embodied_trade_sankey.PNG
references 2012 GEA Global Energy Assessment report, but I couldnt find the figures in Researchgate pdf
China has increased outflows since then but not too much – US Europe ~ 30% of Chinas exported product embodied energy.
Found report that looks at China export embodied product 2000-2014 – US EU down slightly in 2014 compared to peak 2006ish but rest of world taking up slight slack. China getting 20% of GDP from 25% of their domestic energy consumption (down from 28% GDP from ~37%Energy peak ~2006)

Here is similar sankey diagram for oil trade (also mid2000s i think) pre-shale oil – may revert somewhat toward this as shale declines really kick in over next 6-10 years if things hold together that long.
https://www.sankey-diagrams.com/wp-content/gallery/x_sankey_213/gea_report_oil_trade_sankey.PNG
was looking for Coal & Gas trade or net Global FF trade but havent discovered yet
Create Sankey diagram in excel – have not reviewed:
https://youtu.be/_Ckc7X0Gg-Y
I looked at the first chart. It is clear that the US, Europe, and Japan are the major energy recipients; China and Russia are the major energy exporters.
Australia must be too small to have arrows of any kind added to it. It exports a lot of raw materials and imports a lot of finished goods. Africa is probably similar.
I had to stare at for a moment until wondered what the little box & circle down in the Indian Ocean are – they lumped “other OECD” (by color coding) looks to include Canada, AU, NZ, Norway, Iceland & Turkey
Arrows quite large to US & EU in the Oil chart also.
Looks like not much discretization/lumping required to get a much better picture of the world. The embodied energy picture is told by lumping into only 9 countries/regions/groups while the oil picture is told with 12.
The insights gained from sensitivity/”what-if” from LtG World model (and that is the purpose not an exact path or forecast) are bases on a totally lumped models w/ average conditions and assumes/requires relatively uniformity. We know that is not true; there are significant non-homogenities in population density, energy resources, per capita consumption & production, birth/death rates etc.
Others are certainly aware:
“This suggests that, contrary to what is assumed in World3, resources are not distributed equally amongst people. It may be worth researching whether incorporation of a distribution effect improves the model. Given the major income and wealth inequality in the world, I have interpreted both CT and BAU2 being the closest fits, as that both scenarios will play out in the upcoming few decades; the high-tech solutions and moderate welfare decline of CT will befall on the rich, while the effects of the pollution crisis and collapse in living standards of the BAU2 will be borne mostly by the poor.”
from: Update to Limits to Growth: Comparing the World3 Model With Empirical Data, 2020
https://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/handle/1/37364868/BRANDERHORST-DOCUMENT-2020.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y
and the effort to go from a model of one world to a model with 10-12 sub-unit linked models would not seem to be a huge effort; certainly not a computational problem and given large datasets an easier task than faced in 1972 to estimate rate functions and auxilary parameters. Some effort would be needed to guesstimate the hysterisis for declining resource availability (materials/rate function follow one set of curves in an ascending direction, but have a different rate curve when going in the decending directions – this is a major characteristic of charging cycles for different types of batteries for example) Certainly would expect a hysterisis for degrowth/collapse rates as compared to growth rates for a declining dissapative structure.
There will be a game of musical chairs as world resources dwindle and may not necessarily be won by those currently with the most complexity but heavily reliant upon imports of energy. The game may be rigged – those with significant exports & reserves beyond that needed to maintain their more modest per capita/needs of current organizaton may not be required to get out of their chair when the music plays – they will let all the others march for the empty chair.
I wouldnt put it past that obviously very political Norweigan to actually be working against the best interests of the world – he seems to have steered the rest of world into policies detrimental (solar investment, windmills) while leaving Norway in a relatively good position. Certainly if he isnt there are others of means who may be.
A discretized model that looked at how to manage capital extraction from US & EU before cutting them off would be an interesting exercise – Is there a region or alliance of countries that could then continue to maintain current or managable per capita energy & resource levels thus avoiding/delaying the fall down the ladder. How many body parts can the leper lose or have amputated (fingers – Venezuala, Lebanon etc; gangrenous legs US EU) and still survive.
While the success of such a scenario may seem doubtful and acknowledging the low probablity of success (especially given the US military proclivities/insanity) that doesnt mean that those with excess power might not be thinking that way and attempting to steer. Certainly there are many countries or even individuals that have the resources to model such discretized scenarios to gain insights into a strategy to achieve a “slowly and then all of the sudden” (Hemmingway?) removal of energy depleted countries in a managed “surgery” over the next 10-20 years; From their perspective, what do they have to lose by trying??
Thanks for your analysis of what has been posted. I had taken only a brief look at one piece of it.
Your analysis pretty accurate to me. There are so many interconnected linkages and so many parts that are hard to model that it is highly unlikely that the model could be made to give an accurate representation of the situation. But it might be good enough to give some insights regarding what might happen, and it might be something that some people would try to look at (whether or not it provides reasonable indications), in the hope that it might give some insights.
I am afraid that what happens is in many ways like an avalanche. It happens slowly at first, and then the system suddenly gives way.
California’s regulators unveiled a proposal to change the net energy metering plan for California about a week ago. I don’t know what chance it has of actually being enacted as proposed.
An article on utilitydive.com is titled, California’s proposed net energy metering update could hit distributed solar hard, industry warns
According to the article:
The website of the regulators has an article on this as well: Modernizing California’s Net Energy Metering Program to Meet Our Clean Energy Goals
According to it
This is a link to the Net Energy Lookback Study, done by a combination of three consulting firms to
figure out how much residential customers really should be charged.
https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/-/media/cpuc-website/divisions/energy-division/documents/net-energy-

If California can get its rate problems at least partly fixed in 2022, perhaps the silly idea that net metering is fair to utilities will go away.
When you see the injections effect people like Casey Hodgkinson taking their muscle control the official diagnosis term is bells palsey. If you observe the brain is randomly executing common muscle movements randomly. It reminds me somewhat of a roach when bug spray is sprayed on it. Its clear that the injection is powerfully effecting some aspect of that humans neurological system or perhaps brain function. And no one finds this profound neurological effect not ordinary? No one questions what the injection actually is, its purpose or why it is so powerfully acting in this manner? Ignoring the horrific toll this is taking on the humans that get to live with this doesnt what we are observing raise questions from a science standpoint? Why is scientific curiosity not piqued by these powerful and bizarre “vaccine” “complications”? Are we really going to ignore our observations by placing them in the box of “bells palsey” complication as if that explains what we are observing?
A couple of months ago I happened to listen to a NPR radio show. They were discussing “anti vaxxers” a underclass that I apparently belong to so I listened with much interest. They were discussing “what the anti vaxxers will do when child vaccination begins”. “we know what to expect lots of videos of twitching children”.
So if the injections are harming people in a bizarre fashion involving great cruelty it is unreasonable to inform people about it?
This is absolute propaganda/conditioning preparing people to disregard what they are actually observing. The powerful and horrible “side” effects of the injection raise common sense questions about its nature,purpose and safety. What we are observing is completely outside of our experience that we associate with vaccines it SHOULD horrify people and raise questions. These maiming catastrophic side effects were known and propaganda/conditioning was and is being deployed to indicate to people that they should disregard the warning bells and distress that they feel upon witnessing these horrific effects. This propaganda is an attempt to quash human compassion, empathy, and observation that something is very out of the ordinary. I would call it dehumanizing conditioning, demanding defacto approval of the suffering caused by the injections.
Sad nz just announced they are bringing forward the drug attack on children. They have tightened up the border again as well. Forget about coming to this sad backward toilet of a country. Very hard now.
Sheep-like people of nz make it easy for the politicians to do what they like.
You ask an older NZer — do you think that all those years of the farmers getting on top of the sheep ‘like that’ might be harmful to society… and they says ‘in’t no harm in thit … we jist havvin a bit of fun that’s all’
Now the hens are coming to roost with all that cross breeding… over the years the DNA of the sheep shed and mixed in with the human population and now look at the mess…
Did I mention that Fast Eddy was recruited to come to NZ??? Yes sirreee — he didn’t pay a cent to come in… they gave him the key to the country… why? Isn’t it obvious… they needed Pure Breeding Stock with an Ultra High IQ…
Fast Eddy gets regularly deliveries of fresh meat to his barn to partake in his stud services… HE’s lost count of how many he’s mounted up on … but don’t think it’s Heaven on Earth… the vast vast Vast majority of them are Big Ol Hogs… Plough Hauler types… cuz that’s mostly all we got here.
Things are pretty desperate but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

The advance-conditioning was clear when they said that the vaxx side-effects could be ‘no walk in the park.’
So, when people felt really rough after dose 1, they concluded that all was OK and ‘it’s working’. I’ve even seen comments in which people worried that they felt nothing – ‘Will I still be safe, is it working?’!!’
They know all the psychological buttons to press.

“When do they realize… it’s not going to work?”
When their backs are up against the wall and it becomes a matter of life or death. That’s usually when people lose it. More and more are starting to figure out that they are being lied to and those in control don’t care if they get injured or die from the drugs they call vaccines.

Geert says the Omicron Vaccine will be the one to trigger Mareks’s.
Omicron: 3 vaccine doses are not enough to stop the new COVID variant, warns BioNTech CEO
“A new Omicron vaccine”
“The German company is already designing a coronavirus vaccine adapted to the new variant, using Omicron’s spike protein and its 32 mutations as an antigen. Sahin announced this should be ready by March.”
““We remain on track with our 100-day target, which means we should be able to deliver our first suitable vaccines to Omicron in March, subject to regulatory approval,” he said.”
https://www.euronews.com/next/2021/12/20/omicron-3-vaccine-doses-are-not-enough-to-stop-the-new-covid-variant-warns-biontech-ceo
Yes, considering that, at the moment, Omicron doesn’t seem to be serious and seem to have similar symptoms to the ones of an influenza (flu), it is very strange create a 3 doses vaccine for that kind of disease.
The impression is that they are not creating something good.
From your link, Moderna says its booster works reasonably well against Omicron; the German company that works with Pfizer says that that three doses aren’t sufficient to give immunity against Omicron.
As if French President Emmanuel Macron didn’t have enough on his plate, a rumor that was once dismissed as a conspiracy theory dreamed up by the far-right media is picking up new steam.

Omicron is Not Normal
Everything suggests this variant was leaked from a laboratory engaged in gain-of-function research.
https://eugyppius.substack.com/p/omicron-is-not-normal
On the same path are the speakers of this well known alternative Italian tv, who at time 16.30 and on, they say that Omicron has been probably lab created in order to ‘vaccinate’ against the virus the world thus ending the pandemic.
The purpose is to give to Covid vaccines the success of this reduction of danger of the pandemic and the trasformation of the virus into endemic.
All the media will say that it will be achieved thanks to the vaccines.
Actually, for the speakers, the real objective is not to go on endlessly with the pandemi, but to introduce digital passports to control population and it is almost done…
Digital passports will be never withdrawn and in Europe are bynow normal.
Please see, try with subtitles:
I’m strongly doubting that omicron is aimed at ending the pandemic…
Yes, this point is completely under discussion at the moment, my friend.
Have a nice evening.
When anyone release something in the wild, the effects are generally not know. How many times have humans carried out “biological solutions” on invasive species and it did not work? Plenty.
The idea that some “white hat” releasing this virus to stop the pandemic, to me, is pure BS. The government has tasted the power it wield over the people and will not give up. They have gone too far to do an “about face” on the draconian measures and they are not going to say “All back to normal, we are unrolling the vaccine passports”.
Actually it is the same of what the speaker mentioned above said in the video.
The purpouse would be to demonstrate that the vaccines have stopped this pandemic, passports will stay here forever because they will reignite the fear with the next pandemic or influenza virus.
But now they need to take the podium.
Bear in mind they are promising a ‘universal’ coronavirus vaxx for mid-2023.
First, they will credit vaxxes with halting the pandemic.
Then, they will use that to justify compulsory injection with the universal vaxx as ‘a precautionary measure’ regardless of any pandemic situation.
‘Omicron’ gives them the pretext to go crazy with jabbing, being so ‘highly infectious’ etc.
Both pseudo-vaxxes and ‘passports’ will be cemented into daily life.
There are no ‘white hats’……..
The water problem is tied in with several other issues that are changing our world.
Covid-19 and Global Warming, with its associated rise in sea level, are related to attempts to address the problem of reduced supplies of fresh water.
A commenter on another website referred to a paper that claimed that, back in the seventies, after LIMITS TO GROWTH came out, researchers were trying to develop gain of function abilities for viruses to be able to increase the melting of ice. The virus somehow bypassed the need for latent heat in the melt water. The idea was to increase the melt rate of glaciers in the Himalayas to provide fresh water to the growing Asian population.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/himalayan-glaciers-are-melting-at-furious-rate-new-study-shows-11639994402
The lab was lax in their security protocols and they allowed some of the virus to escape. There is also some speculation that it was purposely released in the Artic by some Russian Oligarchs who hoped to profit from the perception that the ice is melting, therefore the Earth must be getting warmer.
The global warming hoax was initiatied to cover the accidental release by the research lab as it was discovered that the virus that melted the ice also caused a severe form of influenzas that was contributing to many deaths around the world. They were trying to make the fossil fuel industries the boogey man to cover up their fatal incompetence in lab procedures.
The Russian businessmen were supporting the “Global Warming” scam in hopes of increasing the value of their northern properties. If they could get the gullible international investors to believe that what is now snow fields for eight months per year is going to be viable farm land in the warmer world, then the price will be many times what they paid for it.
The Libtardarians jumped right on board with the GW hoax as it gave them an excuse to protest and parade around with signs putting down the envied oil industry. The GW hoaxers with northern properties funded studies at Universities and of course the researchers jumped right in line, along with the solar panel and wind mill bunch.
In 2019 an imminent financial crisis was hidden by this handy virus that got the name “novel corona virus”. It later got the name Covid-19 and became the excuse to shut down the world economy before it collapsed under the absurd practices of the world’s economic magicians.
Response to water shortage takes many turns.
The link to the paper did not work.
Perhaps some of this is your own creative ideas.

The additions of Edmonton, Montreal, Ottawa and Columbus to the list of teams sitting at home means nearly one-third of the NHL is currently sidelined by the pandemic’s latest wave fuelled by the fast-spreading Omicron variant.
The league issued a statement Monday with a line that’s been repeated over the last week, indicating the decision to shutter the Canadiens and Blue Jackets was made “due to concern with the number of positive cases within the last several days as well concern for continued COVID spread.”
https://www.ctvnews.ca/sports/canadiens-oilers-senators-and-blue-jackets-sidelined-by-covid-19-concerns-1.5714450
I have read that most of the NFL players with covid have zero symptoms… no doubt same with the NHL…. of course most people who get covid don’t get covid at all… cuz the tests are flawed.
But when you shut down pro sports leagues… that’s great PR for the omicron.
Riots are erupting all across Europe. In Great Britain, more protests are breaking out over lockdowns and restrictions. Crowds are starting to clash with the Police. It’s all going as I expected. Meanwhile the POS Prime Minister BoJo supposedly had some Christmas partying going on while he told the Plebs they needed to obey the restrictions. They even have signs of Klaus Schwab reading “he wants you dead”. Eventually people are going to lose it. This is turning into the European Spring.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10323957/London-Covid-19-protests-turn-violent.html
It’s being suggested that the ‘protesters’ who clashed with police in London were not all that genuine.
Most interesting is that the BBC managed somehow to avoid reporting on the latest very peaceful march, which was huge.
Impressive that people are getting out there – useless as it is – as the weather here is dire.
I do wish there was a way to bet on the chances of lockdowns … I’d have 3 private jets by now …

Quebec shuts down schools, bars, gyms and more as COVID-19 case counts soar
Quebec is closing schools, bars, gyms and movie theatres as public health officials race to slow the spread of the Omicron variant.
Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé said in the face of the variant, which appears to be doubling its spread every couple days, the government had to take action to prevent the health-care system from being overwhelmed.
“The epidemiological situation is critical. The community spread is astounding,” said Dubé during the Monday news conference, appearing from home alongside public health director Dr. Horacio Arruda and Daniel Paré, who is in charge of Quebec’s vaccination campaign.
“Our health system is already in crisis … and things aren’t getting better. Hospitalizations and intensive care unit admissions are on the rise.”

As reported by Der Spiegel, “Federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach (SPD) fears that the number of infections will rise sharply due to the new Omicron virus variant. “I assume a massive fifth wave,” said Lauterbach when visiting a vaccination center in Hanover.
Lauterbach further declared “We have to assume that the wave of omicrons that we are facing, which in my opinion we cannot prevent, will be a massive challenge for our hospitals, for our intensive care units, but also for society as a whole.”
The health minister further claimed that Omicron cannot be “got under control” with a double vaccination alone.
“We mustn’t be lulled into a false sense of security,” he said, urging that a “massive booster campaign” is needed “boosting several million people a week”.
Lauterbach added that he intends to try “by all means” to make the vaccines compulsory.

History repeating itself. Any posters from Germany who care to comment?
Karl Lauterbach is a mentally unstable type. Look at him, listen to him.
The man is supposed to care about people’s “health”? It doesn’t get any more grotesque than that.
You just have to be ashamed of your own politicians. It’s all a shame what kind of crazy people get into the first row.
This is the bitter price to pay for media democracy.
I look forward to seeing 5 yr olds cuffed and dumped into prison… They need to start building more prisons…
An Irish grandmother who violated the nation’s mask mandate is to spend Christmas behind bars after being sentenced to a year in prison.
Margaret Buttimer, a 66-year-old grandmother, will spend this Christmas behind bars after being sentenced to one year in prison for violating Ireland’s mask mandate, with six months of the sentence being suspended.
The grandmother was initially imprisoned last week after breaching her bail terms by going Christmas shopping, having been ordered to stay away from stores.
According to a report by the Irish Examiner, Buttimer was sentenced after being found guilty of not wearing a mask in a restaurant.
The judge presiding over the case made reference to what he called the grandmother’s “absurd selfishness” and “willful disregard of others”.
He also refused to hand down community service to the woman, claiming that it would be contradictory to do so as she was engaging in “persistent community disservice”.
The 66-year-old now has multiple convictions for breaching public health guidelines, having been jailed twice for her actions.
Buttimer had no previous convictions prior to the pandemic, according to the Irish Independent.

The Irish love to drink and fight. Ireland has been, like nz, pursuing a dysgenics program in their case for centuries. The smartest guy in the village always became a Catholic priest and his genes were removed from the population. Thus IQ declined for centuries and only varied when English Lords using their right of prima nocte boosted the IQs for the population but only fractionally.
The Irish are known for their stupidity and such is proving the case during this pandemic.
Conversely, in Jewish communities the smartest guys became rabbis and the most desirable mates and produced children often in large numbers. Jewish IQs have consequently risen over the centuries to the point where Ashkenazi Jews have the highest IQs of any ethnic group in the world around 115 on average.
That’s a very good summary explaining how the Elders came about and why almost everyone else is an animal in their barnyard…
I should imagine the message here is: if granny can be sent to jail, anyone can. Do as you are told or else.

Dear Mr. Varadkar,
I am writing on behalf of poor old Mother Reilly, who your judges have banged up for a year for not wearing a face diaper.
Mother Reilly was merely expressing her fundamental rights to freedom of religion, freedom of expression, freedom to breathe, freedom from unnecessary coercion, and freedom from government interference.
Please send her home to her family as they need her to help out with the potato planting and as there will shortly be an urgent need for available prison cells to hold the perpetrators of the COVID-19 scandemic and vaccicution terror campaign. As with hospital beds to patients, there never seem to be enough prison cells in relation to the number of criminals who need to be put behind bars.
As a gay man, you should be particularly wary of governments using pseudoscience to stigmatize people and incarcerate them on the basis that they spread disease. Given a change of government, the fate of the unmasked today could easily be that of any other innocent group tomorrow.
Your sincerely,
Etc. Ect.
PS. If masks and jabs actually work to protect the maskee and jabbee and if anyone who wants to avail themselves of these protections may do so, then there is clearly zero reason to stigmatize, criminalize and terrorize the unmasked and unjabbed. And if masks and jabs actually work to protect the maskee and jabbee… I’ll let you work that one out for yourself.
And if masks and jabs DON’T actually work to protect the maskee and jabbee… I’ll let you work that one out for yourself.
Gasoline is rising so fast that gas stations here have taken to raising prices mid day, instead of overnight
So, late at night pulled in a food/gas Chevron station and saw the price for reg advertised as 3.31 a gallon…Now I put mid grade in my car and went in handed the clerk my money and pressed mid grade. $4.41 a gallon!!!!
The highest I ever paid for a gallon and I know it’s cheap compared to Europe.
Anyway, I posted before about trading the IC car with an electric scooter…
Seems that may be prudent as a backup first choice if we have availability issues!!

Here where?
The Pacific Northwest, USA
What is the underlying issue (given that crude oil prices have dropped over the last few weeks).
I think that, while we tend to think about oil as a global market, it is very heavily influenced by local infrastructure and demand. The PNW gets a lot of its oil via badly aged pipeline from Alaska through Canada, and via tanker. And inflation has been very generally high here, I don’t know why. I visited the northeast a few weeks ago and was surprised that we’re now on par for prices
There was also recent story of California slowdown of oil imports from SA because of port congestion – West coast has almost totally independent refining/distribution from rest of country so imagine this supply slowdown also a big part of impact on pricing. Any impact refined products from infrastructure damage recent BC flooding?
The pipelines run through BC, so that would make sense, and port havoc could be affecting tankers
But if you look at the price of oil, it has been falling recently. WTI is at $68.66; the current Brent price about $71.83.
True, but in the context of the past few years that still seems high, though I know it’s less than producers need
Stunning data about vaccine failure from Ontario, Canada
https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/stunning-data-about-vaccine-failure/comments
The gene jabs seriously compromise your immune system and has no element of the corona virus in it to initiate immunity so it is not a surprise that those injected would be more susceptible to the virus.
It is an awfully strange result, I will agree!

This Latina doctor wanted to spark trust in the COVID vaccines. So, she enrolled her babies in a clinical trial.
Adrianna Rodriguez, USA TODAY
Mon, December 20, 2021, 6:00 AM·4 min read
Alicia Carrasco could feel her arms getting tired from the weight of her 1-year-old son, Joaquín. She looked over across the room at her husband who was holding the baby’s twin brother, Nico.
The boys clocked a low-grade fever earlier that morning. They were fussy and tired, and refused to leave their parents’ arms without a tantrum.
On days when her sons get sick, Carrasco is normally filled with worry. But this day she was relieved, because it meant their little bodies were likely building up immunity to protect them against COVID-19.
“I felt guilty over how happy I was that they got sick, but now it’s a huge weight off my shoulders,” she said.
There are no authorized COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S. for children younger than 5 years old. But kids like Carrasco’s twins and 3-year-old son, Matías, who participated in Moderna’s trial, are helping to change that.
The twins received their second jab a few weeks ago, and Matías is scheduled to get his next shot in a few weeks. Velocity Clinical Research, a clinical trial site organization, enrolled about 650 children at four locations across the country.
A quarter of the children received the placebo and the rest were vaccinated with 25 micrograms of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine. No one knows for certain which they were given, but Carrasco is confident the sudden fever she saw in the twins is a sign they were jabbed with the active vaccine.
“They were definitely sleeping a lot more the next day, fussy and had spiked fevers,” she said. “Nothing major, and it went away 36 hours after the shot.”
Carrasco will find out for sure when the trial ends next year or a vaccine for their age group receives emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration. Once that happens, trial participants will be unblinded and can choose to get vaccinated if they got the placebo.
As an internal medicine physician and chair of the Scarce Resource Allocation Committee at the Boise VA Medical Center, Carrasco has felt the full brunt of the virus. She longs for the pandemic to be over, and saw the opportunity to enroll her children in a clinical trial as another way to be a part of that effort.
Wonder if we will hear if anything not good happens?
Of course, if it does, it’s not the vaccines fault…no

“The Omicron Fake-out” by JHK https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/the-omicron-fake-out/
‘Kind of looks like an off-ramp from the Covid-19 mass formation psychosis nightmare. Of course, the last thing the authorities want is an end to the pandemic panic.’
“Omicron is all they have left, and it’s not much to work with. ”
I doubt that. We know that there are so-called ‘vaccines’ for SARS viruses going back at least 20 years. So this grand-plan has been a loooooong time in the making. I would be surprised if they did not have an Ace or several up their sleeves. Like another virus, not a mutation, a completely new one. Perhaps economic or financial Armageddon. That has been a long time coming too. It is not like we have not been warned of recent about these threats.
Don’t forget Bill Gates recently warned terrorists may release small pox. So thats now in play too.
Everything that has been done over the last 2 years has had the net effect of making the population less healthy than when this thing began and back then the gen-pop was already very unhealthy so of course people are going to be getting more and more sick and dying.
Correct. If anyone thinks this is just going to fade away… they would need to believe that 1. we are not running out of cheap energy (quickly) and 2. that covid was not a black op from the get go.

Detectorist finds 10,000 Roman coins in Huntingdon hoard
By Katy Prickett
BBC News, East
hoard of almost 10,000 Roman coins has been found in two pottery containers, nested inside each other “a bit like Russian dolls”.
They were discovered by a metal detectorist in a field near Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, in spring 2018.
All the 9,724 coins were made of base metal and were probably hidden at a time of turmoil in the wake of the 3rd Century breakaway empire.
The “muddy hoard” was taken to the British Museum for conservation.
coins date to AD251-74 and are believed to have been hidden in the wake of the reconquest of the breakaway Gallic Empire.
It had been established in AD260 and ruled Britain, Gaul (roughly modern-day France) and Spain until Emperor Aurelian reunited the Empire in AD274.
Now the hoard has been declared treasure by Cambridgeshire Coroner’s Court, it is awaiting independent valuation.
Two Cambridgeshire museums have expressed interest in acquiring the hoard.
These were debased double denarii of copper alloy with a thin silver wash to give the appearance of silver which quickly wore off the surface.
Imagine today’s many stackers and peppers are doing the same in their yards and such..
Same will happen…buried and never be reclaimed by their owners left in the ground from whinch it came!

Updated 11:02 a.m. ET
The marching orders from the Biden administration in November had seemed clear — large employers were to get their workers fully vaccinated by early next year, or make sure the workers were tested weekly. But a little over a month later, the Labor Department’s vaccine rule has been swept into confusion and uncertainty by legal battles, shifting deadlines and rising Covid case counts that throw the very definition of fully vaccinated into question.
The spread of the highly transmissible Omicron variant has seemingly bolstered the government’s argument, at the heart of its legal battle over the rule, that the virus remains a grave threat to workers. But the recent surge in cases has raised the issue of whether the government will take its requirements further — even as the original rule remains contentious — and ask employers to mandate booster shots, too. The country’s testing capacity has also been strained, adding to concerns that companies will be unable to meet the rule’s testing requirements.
“My clients are totally confused as, quite frankly, am I,” Erin McLaughlin, a labor and employment lawyer at Buchanan, Ingersoll & Rooney, said on Saturday. “My sense is that there are a lot of employers scrambling to try and put their mandate programs in place.”
No company has been spared the whirlwind of changes in the last week, set off by the spike in Covid cases that have, in some instances, cut into their work forces. Then on Friday, an appeals court lifted the legal block on the vaccine rule, though appeals to the ruling were immediately filed, leaving the rule’s legal status up in the air. On Saturday, hours after the appeals court ruling, the Labor Department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration urged employers to start working to get in compliance. But OSHA also gave employers some leeway, pushing back full enforcement of the rule until February, recognizing that for all its best intentions the rollout of the rule has been muddled.
This is getting good…popcorn time
Seems companies are educating their workers on the Booster…I mean Boosters
With PCR testing and genetic tracking and identification of mutations applied this entire “pandemic” could have been replicated almost every year or certainly every few years over the last 50, 100, 1000 years.
Very true.
A utterly terrifying, once-a-year, Winter of Death event!
It can perhaps avoid talking about the troublesome problem of not enough fossil fuels.
I am seeing the end of FF as the only way to end vax forever and for a never ending series of variants or new diseases. The only way to kill the pharma monsters is to run out of FF. Hurray for collapse, we are saved.
Natural disasters, too, Ed: let the insane bastards fall into great cracks in the earth, be consumed by rivers of lava……
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, who recently said he would not reimpose a statewide mask mandate, said Sunday it was important for lawmakers to lead with facts rather than fear in an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press.
“People just don’t react well to this ongoing environment of fear for two years. Let’s lead with facts,” Polis said.
He urged people to get a third vaccine dose in order to reduce the risk of contracting the new Omicron variant.
“Three doses of the vaccine are needed,” Polis said. “I have young kids, they have the DTaP [Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis] vaccine…it’s three doses of that vaccine to be effective, so I wish they’d stop talking about it as a booster shot.”
He also said that free at-home testing is available in the state and that over 1.2 million Coloradans have received a testing kit. He added that cases in the state have been going down for “several weeks,” but that Omicron could thwart this progress.
“We peaked in October, early November,” Polis said. “We had a lot less hospitalizations than we did a few weeks ago. Now that could change on a dime we know with the Omicron variant.”

The full Monty of pressure is building for a mandate of three to be fully vaccinated
Here, the sinister Prof. Spector is referring to 3 vaxx shots as ‘the full course’.
I think his Big Pharma handlers will need to have a word in his ear: ‘only 3 a full course, what are you thinking of professor?!’
Pathetically, most of the people leaving comments under his videos seem to think he is an honest broker and objective.
A truck driver that transports goods from the USA to Canada says that due to laws coming into affect beginning of January, thousands of truck drivers (15% of the total) will no longer be delivering cross border because of a vaxx mandate. They would rather not drive than get vaxxed.

WARNING FROM A TRUCKER! THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET REALLY BAD IN CANADA
https://www.bitchute.com/video/b9-kQx23mzk/
This sort of reminds me of the EU not wanting natural gas through Nord Stream 2 pipeline, unless it meet certain demands they are making. Doesn’t Canada realize that it doesn’t have a whole lot of “bargaining chips”? If there are fewer truck drivers going to Canada, Canada will have a lot fewer goods coming to it. It will probably be harder to get goods made in Canada out. Canada’s standard of living will necessarily fall.
Canada will have to go to a war time rationing and government prioritization of what gets imported.
… with the unvaxxed receiving no or fewer rations?
of course, this is all their fault, they should pay the price.
Yes, it is a very good comparison.
It is like a farmer receiving water from a river coming from another farmer who decides to close the flow unless the other farmer will change his behaviour.
The owner of the source will just give water to someone else.
It is a self destroying behaviour due to the fact that Europe thinks to be very important just for its hystorical heritage, maybe Canada as a similar attitude.
This is consistent with Gail’s thesis, demand destruction secondary to supply destruction.
Corollary: what is the price of something which is not on any shelf?
Dennis L.
However it will succeed in forcing hundreds of truck drivers to get the vax. For everyone that doesn’t ten will. It has nothing to do with sound economic policy.
“For a detailed technical description of this you can read through Seneff’s paper, but the take-home message is that COVID-19 shots are instruction sets for your body to make a toxic protein that will eventually wind up concentrated in your spleen, from where prion-like protein instructions will be sent out, radically increasing your risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases.”
https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2021/12/20/unintended-consequences-of-mrna-vaccines.aspx?ui=16be86d4b60cd177bee965d048abec76b7a1010e6e8d073904424fe5a5f7374c&sd=20211214&cid_source=dnl&cid_medium=email&cid_content=art1HL&cid=20211220&mid=DM1070516&rid=1355755587
It is hard to get people to believe these things. They assume that if doctors and governments are telling them to get these shots, they are safe and effective.
YES!!! Without OFW I would have without a doubt believed the announcements on TV that they been approved and are safe and effective against COVID-19
They did not mention the fact the serum was experimental and approved only because of emergency authorization.and have multiple side effects that could be deadly or health destroying and no recourse to go to court against the drug manufacturers.
To this day, nothing of that sort is being mentioned at all.
Shameful …
There are a spattering of articles about issues with blood clots and such but they are very rare and the benefits outweigh the risks.
One co worker has parents that are not well in the Caribbean islands and will have to get vaccinated in order to see them.
He knows of the dangers, but seems he has no choice to do so.
I was watching TV and Pfizer is running PR shots of their service to make life better!
All is good in Big Pharma land
I mention OFW and Fast Eddy to my co workers and they say WHO?
Seems FE you are NOT a credible source…
Just wait till the FE Cult of Personality goes mainstream….
Until people have actually encountered medical malpractice – with serious injury as a result – or damaging drug prescriptions – they will tend to be trusting. And the same for the medical profession and hospitals closing ranks top deny their errors.
Nor do they have an inkling of the take-over of medicine by Big Pharma and corporate interests, recklessly peddling the very latest drugs rather than the tried and trusted.
I was thinking today about Jared Diamond’s description of the ‘primitive tribesmen he lived among, always very cautious and wary of possible harm, from other humans, from nature.
Most urban humans of the FF Age, in the rich and peaceful countries are about as trusting as a pet that’s always met with kindness.
Well, they have a new owner now: and he wants chain them up to a tiny kennel, beat them, feed them rubbish and poison them when he likes.
But I’m still astonished that so many have shown so little basic prudence.
Even awareness of how much money there is to be made from this injection programme should have alerted them to possible problems and conflicts of interest, potentially jeopardising safety.
They don’t find it odd that politicians have exemptions….
None of the MP’s at Westminster will have to show vaxx passports……exempt, just like that!
Having a father who was a medical doctor (and concerned about what the other doctors in town were doing) didn’t start me off in the right direction.
Later I ended up working with medical malpractice insurance. I saw the bad outcomes in individual cases. I also saw studies about how frequent bad outcomes were, and how few actually resulted in medical malpractice awards.
I also am aware of how much worse the health of the US population is, compared to that of Europe and Japan, even though the US spends vastly more on health care. Poor diet and lack of exercise are major contributing problems.
Our course, more recently, we have the opioid scandal illustrating what the pharmaceutical industry can do.
gail, maybe this was posted at OFW previously but here is Seneff again drawing a link to glyphosate and ***** – i.e., a poor diet is not the result of freely exercised will but a necessary result of big agriculture:

European Nuke Plants Offline As Power Prices Hit Record
https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/european-power-prices-set-hit-record-high-monday-amid-cold-spell
Can we just let EU freeze to death? Put a fork in it
“… multiple nuclear power plants in France were taken offline due to routine safety inspections that found cracks at one power plant. ”
If one plant is found to have a problem is it normal to take others down ‘out of an abundance of caution?’ Why aren’t these inspected in spring instead of late autumn or are they inspected continuously and they happened to find a problem at the worst possible time? Hopefully they can build them back better if we survive the winter. I wonder if other power plants will have to shut down due to a shortage of coal, gas, or safety concerns. Will I still be able to charge my HUMMER EV electric truck?
The winter is back to Europe again. Prices of electricity are again extremely high in the Nordic countries. Price record in (southern half of) Sweden today, will be surpassed tomorrow at 620 eur/MWh.
https://www.nordpoolgroup.com/Market-data1/Dayahead/Area-Prices/ALL1/Hourly/?view=table
I am afraid I can’t feel very sorry for Sweden. It has pushed its nuclear out by allowing wind and solar the subsidy of going first, and the price paid for nuclear falling as a result. It has not put in required electricity transmission to get enough imported electricity to Sweden (assuming that there is any to be purchased).
In Norway, the government is paying parts of the people’s electricity bill. 50 % of the costs that exceed a ~100 € / MWH electricity price will be refunded to the consumer.
Does anybody have any reliable information about Tromethamine inside Covid vaccine for children?

Entire hospital units could be forced to shut because of staff quitting in protest at the government’s order that they must all be vaccinated against Covid-19, a senior NHS leader has warned.
Chris Hopson, the chief executive of NHS Providers, said that at one hospital trust in England, 40 midwives were refusing to get jabbed, raising fears that the maternity unit may have to close.
“Trust leaders are acutely aware that, from April onwards, when Covid vaccinations will become mandatory, decisions by staff to remain unvaccinated could – in extreme circumstances – lead to patient services being put at risk,” said Hopson.

Anthony S. Fauci, the nation’s top infectious-disease expert, said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that “unfortunately” he believes the nation will see record numbers of cases, hospitalizations and deaths.

This is now the equivalent of telling people that the little old Jewish shopkeeper down the road is a terrifying danger to the Fatherland and has to be dealt with.
He might short-change your kids when they buy candies, after all.
This one made me laugh, when someone pointed out that the Big M was, so far, no big deal in Africa:
‘Africans haven’t been vaccinated and they mostly only have natural immunity; but as we all have vaxx-immunity, we have to be much more careful with Omicron’.
How can anyone, even MSM-addled Democrats, swallow this rubbish?

The surge comes as more than 70 percent of people in New York state have been fully vaccinated as of Sunday, about 10 percent more than the national rate. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said more than 94 percent of New York adults have had at least one dose.
Fast Eddy-
How about nesting your comments within other like comments? This comment does not belong here, for example.
I’ll try but sometimes Fast Eddy gets excited and I cannot control him.
I noticed that the WSJ was also reporting Manchin’s lack of support for the legislation. An opinion article viewed this stated lack of support as a good thing. Now, there is no need for an actual vote, to show the Democrats don’t have enough support for the plan. They can get to work sooner on putting together something that might be acceptable to a mix of Republicans and Democrats.
Is it possible there is no money for any of this? This is a policy paper with great intentions but no realistic fiscal way of implementing.
Trillions are very large numbers and that is no sarcasm.
Dennis L.
I think lack of money is a good point. It is also becoming clear that intermittent wind and solar are not going to fix any energy problem, so subsidizing related infrastructure is not helpful.
Have there been any recent (last few years) examples of legislation that is put forward by one party being supported by the other party? From afar, it seems like ne’er the twain shall meet. No doubt, there is some basic stuff, or some emergency stuff (such as stopping the government from being shut down) that will reluctantly get the support of the other side but it seems so painful these days.

The Guardian claims it can be trusted to tell the truth as it isn’t owned by an oligarch.
Quite so: it’s something better than that – a propaganda organ, and happily takes orders and large dollops of cash from HMG and Bill Gates.

Initially, the G supported Julian, published the wiki documents….then the offices get raided…some computers were taken?
The support for Julian didn’t last….in the years ahead there was one sniping article after another…
Do you have any deeper perspective on what went on?
JonF, talking about changes in behaviour, I saw that there was a big change in behaviour after this episode in the relative quoted Country……
It happened beginning of this December…

In some circles in the UK, the Gaurdian is considered to be the public relations dept for the UK security services, in particular number 5.
No need to mock. Sit back and watch them do it all by themselves.

Reminds a person of “Arab Spring,” being repeated.
“The Turkish lira continued its freefall after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan rejected warnings from business about the dangers of recent interest rate cuts and vowed there was “no going back” from his approach.
“The currency, which has lost 50 per cent of its value against the dollar since Erdogan ordered the central bank to start lowering borrowing costs in September, fell to a new record low of 17.5 against the dollar after markets opened on Monday.”
https://www.ft.com/content/1a365ce5-8921-4721-a18a-8b8bfcfd2786
“BUZZ COMMENT – The Turkish lira is doomed while President Tayyip Erdogan and not the central bank determines monetary policy, with interest rates being slashed and lira plummeting…
“There is risk of another flash crash deep into uncharted territory.”
https://www.reuters.com/markets/asia/buzz-comment-turkish-lira-is-doomed-while-erdogan-determines-policy-2021-12-20/
There is no good solution, especially for small countries whose value against the dollar will drop rapidly, if interest rates are cut.
“Pakistan’s gas crisis to worsen as LNG supplier defaults.
“Pakistan can expect its gas crisis to worsen further in the coming weeks and months as the Singapore-based LNG trading company, GUNVOR, has intimated to authorities in the government that it will not be able to deliver its term LNG cargo due on January 10, 2022 by claiming the force majeure.”

“Pakistan’s debt doubled in just three years…
“Shattering the previous record of 10.45 billion US dollars, Pakistan took out 15.32 billion US dollars in new foreign loans in the fiscal year 2020-21, according to a new government report.”
https://www.livemint.com/news/world/imran-khan-govt-doubled-pakistan-s-external-debt-in-just-three-year-report-11639916552100.html
Presumably loans that are not expected to ever be paid back, but just to keep them going until the global financial system is ready for the switchover to CBDC.
I am trying to understand what is happening. According to BP, Pakistan produced 30.6 billion cubic meters of natural gas in 2020 and consumed 43.1 billion cubic meters of natural gas in 2020. It imported 10.6 billion cubic meters of natural gas as LNG, or about 24.6% of its total natural gas consumption. Pakistan’s natural gas production peaked back in 2012; it has been falling since. Thus, Pakistan needs more and more LNG imports to “stay where it is” in terms of natural gas consumption.
Natural gas comprises about 42.7% of Pakistan’s energy consumption. Oil comprises about 26.0% of Pakistan’s energy consumption. Most /all of this oil must be imported, I expect, because it is not listed separately as an oil producer. It also has coal, hydroelectric, nuclear and a small amount of renewables.
Pakistan’s problem is that it cannot secure enough LNG supplies, now. It cannot find affordable supply on the spot market and its supplier that supposedly had guaranteed supply at a fixed rate cannot really import what it claimed to be able to import.
“Gabriel Boric, a former student protest leader, has won the final round of Chile’s presidential election as the Latin American country took a decisive shift to the left after several years of civil unrest.
“Boric secured 56 per cent of the vote in Sunday’s runoff, well ahead of José Antonio Kast, his ultra-conservative rival, on 44 per cent.”

“Brazil has pulled a bait-and-switch that will diminish the country’s already-damaged standing with international investors.
“The National Congress this month rushed to pass legislation to allow the government to avoid paying billions of dollars in precatórios—court-ordered government payments to individuals and companies, many of which were encouraged to do business in Brazil by government pledges of prompt payment.”

According to the article,
aussie!
The Aussie Government is going under Chinese style system to track, monitor and control its citizens. And a lot of Aussies are like, “Fair Dinkum!”
Given how things have gone up to now, I wouldn’t be surprised if this situation was to accelerate to the point where there was a massacre in Australia, with police or soldiers killing hundreds of civilians OR ELSE civilians killing hundreds of police, soldiers or politicians.
Think Myanmar. Think Rwanda. Think El Salvador. Think North Korea with sunshine and beaches.
Personally, I couldn’t live under such a system and would go to jail or die before complying with it. And yet, I can’t do either of those things because have to take care of the Labrador. So if it comes here, I’m going to be facing a real challenge.
Meanwhile, my Aussie friend Jack in Japan refuses to own or carry a smartphone. Unlike me, he doesn’t mind getting vaccinated, but without a smartphone he says he wouldn’t be allowed to return to Australia or to function in the country. Jack was a good CNN-watching normie, but the current atrocities are radicalizing him like the Imperial Stormtroopers did to young Luke Skywalker when they incinerated his aunt and uncle.
Tim, I envy you your situation. Japan seems to be unwilling to kills its people. If push come to shove hopefully they will practice Asia harmony keeping and say yes and do nothing.
Tim certainly seems to have drawn one of the long straws in this horrible situation, thankfully.
Western culture is perhaps more drawn to abstract ideals and Utopian plans, which invariably lead to insanity and mass murder.
I was thinking last night while in the VIP room waiting for se xy Cheryl … to make her appearance…
Of how the US and it’s allies turn their PR machine on a well-intentioned leader of a country … who goes against the interests of the Empire…. this machine is able to create or rewrite history – for instance… within a couple of weeks it could have the masses believing Mother Teresa was a wh ore turned pimp… preying upon children… that she did not help the poor but rather exploited them and traded medicine for attractive underage girls and boys… to fuel her pimping operations….
There is no defeating this PR machine. It counts every MSM as an outlet for it’s ‘truth’… and the vast majority of the global population trust the MSM…
Lumumba ran up against the machine … multiple politicians in central and south america… Saddam.. the list is endless… there is no winning.
MOREONS who watch American Moon and still believe we have been to the moon ask – why don’t the Russians expose the lie? The PR machine would spring into action accusing them of sour grapes… and making them look like fools…
Now we know what it feels like to be on the receiving end. And it’s like screaming into a hurricane.
“Kaisa Group Holdings Ltd. said Monday that it has missed payments on various senior notes and that it is in talks for a debt restructuring with bondholders.

“China cuts lending rate as economic momentum falters.
“The People’s Bank of China has cut one of the country’s most important lending rates in a sign that the government is pushing ahead with policy easing measures to counter a loss of economic momentum.”

I also noticed a WSJ article In China, Job Cuts Mount in Sectors Hit by Tighter Regulations
Tech, education and property companies are shedding employees, dimming job prospects for college graduates
Lots of sectors, not just property, are laying off workers, especially high paid workers.
“Nigeria’s crude oil exploration has suffered a setback as the rig count, a global index for measuring activities in the upstream sector, decreased by 38 per cent to 80 in the first 11 months of 2021, from 129, recorded in the corresponding period of 2020, according to the reports of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, OPEC.”

“Libya may introduce contracts with private oil companies that would give bonuses to those that meet targets and penalize those that don’t, as the OPEC member tries to raise output to 1.4 million barrels a day by mid-2022.”

Nigeria’s peak production was in 2010.
This is very nice.
‘I’m transvaccinated’
‘I’m not actually vaccinated, but I identify myself as someone who is vaccinated’
Answering them with their own weapons… 🙂

Just got the 1st pfizer jab very sore arm 8hours later no other symptoms before the jab lhad the juice from one lemon about 40 minutes prior the night i got drunk on scotch whisky and after the jab continued on lemon water i have a large tree at home so i have a good supply so far so good will continue with lemon water forever as the jabs will probably be with us permanenly
lol what a fool
Sorry to hear you had to go down that route Adonis, best of luck!
I’m sorry you were forced into this.
And I hope you don’t get any worse damage than a sore arm.
Please let us know how it goes from here.
My name is Josh. I joined the Army in the hope of playing cat and mouse with ISIS in northern Iraq and harrying the Taliban in the Hindu Kush but for now those dreams have been put on hold.
It was just before half time at Twickers. We were beating the Navy by five points. A brute who had spent four months cooped up in a submarine stamped on my ankle and ruptured my Achilles.
While I recuperate I have been seconded to the Operational Media and Communications Group (OM&C Gp) of the 77th Brigade (Motto: All Art is Propaganda). Our role is to confuse our enemies with propaganda but most importantly to work with the Home Office Rapid Response Unit to counter ‘disinformation’ about the Covid emergency. By this I mean we have to respond to inconvenient facts written about the impact of the virus and heighten the state of fear in the plebs.
You will see on our website that the place is full of intense-looking people, seemingly on mind-altering substances, with faraway looks in their eyes pondering their next cutting comment. They hope that their contradictions will send shivers down the spine of DangerousDave from Solihull, or ValTheRevealer from Beverley, who quoted on Twitter something that Whitty said about the ineffectiveness of masks two years ago.
Aside from the nerdy folk here at Denison Barracks, we have operatives in all the main news outlets. Many of them are well known and are easy for me to spot even though their identities are known only by the top brass. Their most recent order is to demonise the unvaccinated.
I have to say the work is tiresome. Each morning I wade through endless Twitter and Instagram accounts looking for posts that some apparatchik in Whitehall thinks might undermine their obsession with jabbing everyone. I can’t tell you how sick I am of pictures of vaccination cards and videos of cats and dancing nurses.

My ‘zero logic’ Sunday in Queensland…
Got in the lift to go to my car — chatted briefly to a guy who lives in my building about what we were doing for Christmas. I tell him I refuse to prove my vaccine status for the simple privilege of sitting in a cafe or restaurant so will probably have a quiet one at the beach. He grins and tells me he has a fake vaccine passport he’s successfully using. We’re off to a flying start here…
I make my way to the gym, where I attend a class of approx 20 people sweating it out and breathing heavily on bikes for 45mins. At times, even touching the person next to me to due to the proximity of the layout. No proof of vaccine required for engaging in this.
I leave the gym and drive to a coffee shop to get a coffee and breakfast. I’m asked if I’m taking out or eating in. The latter requires my proof of vaccine so I decline and opt for take out. I am, however, allowed to stay standing where I am (inside the same cafe, among the seated patrons) while I wait for my takeout order.
While I’m standing in said coffee shop, the guy serving me (the owner I think) — who seems equally as baffled by the situation — tells me the following:
a coffee shop round the corner got fined $8k yesterday

Dispatch from the Covid propaganda front line

Those finding that no immediate insurmountable reaction had surfaced (the majority) understandably agreed with the government: “What is all the fuss about? Why shouldn’t everyone do this, or be made to do this? It is a social good that will protect everyone”
BUT there is a huge iceberg in the path of the good ship New Zealand hidden under the waves of relief. Thousands are quietly suffering debilitating illness, unacknowledged and in some cases untreated by their doctors. For those who survived vaccination without immediate injury this was not a problem because they didn’t know about it apart from one or two complaints from friends that might just be random coincidences.

Rough ballpark peak ratio ~= 670/140,000 = 0.48% or 1:209 acute short term semi-immediate Deaths
Coincidentally?? that is approximately the same magnitude of number I arrived at when looking at the area under curve from Fenton’s UK paper that corrected miscategorized <28 day after jab deaths for 60yo+
How has this affected New Zealand?
Whilst even the official Medsafe record of adverse effects and the unofficial lists show that the immediate risks of covid vaccination could be as much as 50 – 300 times greater than even the most risky of previous traditional vaccines (such as the smallpox jab), and whilst the long term effects are unknown, 90% of eligible New Zealanders have gone ahead with vaccination having accepted the assurances of safety and efficacy from the government, or having been forced to get vaccinated under threat of loss of employment and freedom of movement.
Feeling the fear of covid that has been generated by reports in the international and local media, most people completing vaccination heaved a great sigh of relief—that is one huge worry off my mind, now I can get on with my life.
