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

Good refresher course.
Almost half of babies born in Belgium in 2020 are of other origins. It seems that the grandparental generation did not have many kids. Belgium has been below replacement fertility since 1975. A 2020 TFR of 1.54 would seem to be the lowest ever. It also seems that the kids of incomers (with Belgium citizenship?) also have low fertility, which is a pattern seen elsewhere. The population is pretty stable (11 million) but it is ageing (25% over 60 in 2017), so it is probably going to need more workers for economic and fiscal reasons – unless ‘The End’ comes first.

> Half of the newborns in 2020 had a mother of Belgian origin
Half of the babies born in 2020 had a mother of Belgian nationality and origin, the Federal Planning Bureau said on Friday, which is based on data from Statbel, the Belgian statistical office. Almost 23% of newborns in 2020 had a Belgian mother of foreign origin and almost 25% a mother of foreign nationality.
Higher fertility in non-Belgian women
The average number of children per woman in 2020 was 1.54 but it varies according to the nationality and origin of the mother. Thus, mothers of Belgian origin and nationality had an average of 1.38 children, Belgians of foreign origin 1.58 children and women of foreign nationality 2.05. “From a historical point of view, the average number of 1.54 children per woman, recorded in 2020 for the entire population, is rather low,” comments the Planning Bureau.
The age profile of women of childbearing age also differs
The fertility rate is linked to the age of women, notes the institution, and non-Belgian people are more represented in the 25-35 age group where the highest fertility rates are observed. Among Belgians of Belgian or foreign origin, “it is the oldest and youngest age groups respectively which are the most represented, precisely the age groups which are characterized by the lowest fertility rates”.
Women of foreign nationality in 2020 represented 16.5% of all women of childbearing age but 24.9% of births, adds the Planning Bureau.
These data are based on the first statistics published at the beginning of the year by Statbel on the composition of the population in Belgium by origin, specifies the Planning Bureau.
“non-Belgian people” that is now Belgian people” who may or may not have been born in Belgium. All nations with overly harsh capitalist systems are unable to reproduce and require replacement citizens from outside the nation.

Copper inventories are nearing depletion

Copper’s Role in Growing Electric Vehicle Production
According to the article:
Average Copper Content in Pounds
Hybrid Electric Vehicles 85 pounds
Plug-in Electric Vehicles 132
Battery Electric Vehicles 183
Perhaps we are kidding ourselves about a changeover to electric vehicles, if copper is in short supply.
Perhaps the changeover is not meant for the unwashed legions.. in their sheer numbers..
that would be the only thing that makes sense from one perspective but can the system find equilibrium at some lower level of population? it would be one thing if the plan was for electric vehicles to co-exist with internal combustion ones but it sounds like the auto companies are going for the full monty. I’ll see if I can roust up the number of battery-plants in the usa already in motion and planned. It’s a ridiculous number last I heard.
If the general plan (or last minute re-adjustment) is to keep on having some sort of industrial civilization you need:
– rat race ongoing (managerial and upper caste) getting EVs
– restricted high speed (~10-30% energy savings)
– internals offshoot and or re-purposed for home renewables
..
.
all extending “the emergency period” a bit..
The unwashed needed category (not UBI-ed or AI-ed off) could hop on train and last mile electric bikes etc..
For an observer all of the above is perhaps already unfolding.
agreed, it is unfolding and even when one is really close to it there’s a chance of missing the big picture. We lived in the Domain in North Austin, a proto-type for sure. A big commercial, retail, and residential cluge with car-traffic from all over making walking about dangerous. Residents knew how much less they were driving themselves due to the convenience of everything being a short walk away and mine was down to 1,000 miles a year. But I don’t know that they’d necessarily extrapolate that to anything but pissing in the wind considering the Austin population explosion and ever-present city-wide traffic jams. You’d need 50 Domain’s to make a dent in Austin’s problems, if that were any solution. I suppose people can be shoe-horned further into things, but I doubt the infrastructure requirements are going to be doable; so, it’s probably going to look quite messy and ad hoc whatever form it takes at large.
Energy Crisis Great Reset- Steve St. Angelo interview
From introduction: How gold and silver is vital, if energy is headed toward an energy cliff
Gail,
Have you given any thought to what might become trusted media of exchange, in an energy constrained world? Aside from gold and silver.
Can’t speak for Gail, but I’ve been stacking Tuna cans
This is correct. In prisons, canned mackerel is normally accepted as currency. Although IMHO in climates that support milk operations the basic unit should be a jar of ghee, given the importance fats have in human nutrition. Not very portable, and cattle people would become the new money changers, but the value is real now.

It is the end products (like food) that are mostly missing. Thus, using cans of tuna for trade would seem to work, at least until the tuna cans run out. I am not optimistic about making an economy with inadequate end products to actually work.
People seem to think that the end of the world is temporary… how odd.
Canned food, beef jerky, pemmican, alcohol, cigarettes, ammunition? Just a few ideas.

Planning for increased costs on dairy farms in 2022
As we approach a new year, now is an opportune time to evaluate the financial health of your farm business. Input costs have been increasing and knowing your financial and physical numbers is key to helping you plan for the future. Figure 1 highlights the changes in costs of key farming inputs between August 2020 and August 2021.

IKEA owner to raise prices amid supply chain challenges, warns increases could last far into 2022
According to Inter IKEA Group’s financial summary for fiscal year 2021, the company has struggled to keep its warehouses and stores stocked amid a “steep increase” in raw material costs driven by transport and labor shortages. Inter IKEA Group noted that it spent 250 million euros to mitigate its supply chain disruptions during fiscal year 2021.

It helps to trace the battery end of flashlights on milk cartons, then cutting around the circle, then inserting the flashlights, bulb point up to ceiling, into the hole. It works like magic, and you don’t have to hold it manually.
I would also recommend keeping the car gas tank well above halfway, never any lower than 3/4 way full.

The collapse of complex societies
As some of you know, one of my expertise is complex systems, specially cascade dynamics and failures. You know the easiest way to make a complex system crumble into oblivion is the following. Make the cost of producing energy/resources higher than what they give. (EROI)
“Expensive and failing energy supply makes production and function of a complex society harder, inflation shortly follows, then low yield of food, and everything that entails. Signaling from 2 MONTHS ago, this outstanding podcast episode quite tells you the story of how Europe would freeze the coming winter, how energy would get more expensive, and specially how the green policy virtue signaling is basically a societal suicide.”

The New Normal – Pandemics of the Vaccinated?
Are we beginning to see further evidence of ADE or OAS occurring in the UK data?
https://nakedemperor.substack.com/p/the-new-normal-pandemics-of-the-vaccinated
The more we vaccinate, early data suggests the more likely we are to encounter omicron cases.
And an orally-administered live-attenuated virus and quasispecies mutant swarm beginning to deattenuate far faster than it was supposed to and overheat its hosts with infections would also explain the CCP’s insistence on collecting anal swabs. This method seems to be the only way to accurately detect asymptomatic infections from discharged hospital patients, which is likely related to the fact fecal samples reveal much more about the composition of the quasispecies mutant swarm: Yielding more inactive virus, capturing far more genetic distance, and showing a much wider range of mutations.
And so the CCP’s insistence on anally swabbing absolutely everyone, and especially kids, is almost certainly due to the fact that this is the only way to accurately track the shape of the quasispecies mutant swarm, and prevent it from deattenuating enough to become even more virulent than it already has in much of the world.
However it’s not just all of this logistical and technical evidence that supports to SARS-CoV-2 being a once-attenuated SARS-like LAV making its way back towards its original V-1000 form, an enormous amount of molecular evidence leans that way as well.

Thanks for the link – his older wordpress site has some entries that explain more of his background and how he got to where he is.
Apparently he also wrote a book in 2011 on Terrorism as before his fall he was a Counter_Terrorism analyst
As always hard to tell if real of just part of the “simulation” or an intelligence front putting out alternative narratives.
He has some very interesting and compelling ideas.
His theories on evolution in the rising Himalayan plain in the vicinity of geothermal vent, correlated with a 50 year dark winter due to eruption of Yellowstone Caldara around 2m years ago as alternate theory for bipedal and other human capacities is quite the read.
Pulling from creation myths, exploring the diving response relationship to brain developement, mans relationship with snakes and our codependence on canines for our survival once we left the plain – integrates seeming disparate information into a narrative that leaves one with quite a different view on the world
His swarm theory (and use of return of polio from the dead as confirmatory example of process) will give Fast Eddy much delight! A much more plausible or clarified explanation of how a Marek’s type condition may ensue than given by others such as Bossche. Certainly a relatively “Unknown Unkown” being made known with potential Black Swan ramifications.

This article is dated April 1, so has been out a while.
It becomes clear that the author of this article, and other Harvard to the Big House articles, is Karl Sirotkin, whom he refers at the unemployed ex con who wrote the first peer reviewed article linking the virus that causes COVID-19 to gain of function resources. His last biological training was a high school AP biology course. This is a link to the article, which he wrote with his father.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC7435492/
One point that stands out in the article:
“. . . coronaviruses have been seen as a viable vector for an HIV vaccine for years – a project with hundreds of millions of dollars dangling over it.”
(In fact, I remember hearing this reason for the gain of function research, quite some time ago.)
Another,
“. . . it should be noted that in 2018, the esteemed scientific journal Nature – which has published numerous articles speciously claiming this virus is definitely natural – was revealed to have buckled to censorship demands from the Chinese government, killing over 1,000 articles to placate their Chinese partners.”
Another,
“Oddly, not a single American legacy media outlet linked the COVID-19 outbreaks on mink farms across multiple continents to the fact they’re an overlapping species with the lab ferrets especially used in the vaccine-related gain-of-function experiments which lead to a moratorium against the practice in 2014. Certainly, the dire economic circumstances of American journalism overall and the absurd amounts of money pharmaceutical and defense companies stand to make from gain-of-function research has nothing at all to do with this comically willful blindspot, as American journalists happily stenograph away and write only what the people who own them allow them to write.”
Another,
“Perhaps it’s a good time to point out that HIV, which began to emerge in the early 1950s, has never been confirmed as a natural zoonotic virus, and there’s been long-standing speculation that its emergence was due to a batch of experimental polio OPV vaccines known as CHAT gone wrong. Fittingly, the particular strain of live-attenuated polio virus which became known as CHAT-OPV actually got its name from an infant child living in an institution for retarded children in 1957, who wasn’t exactly able to give his consent for the medical experiment done on him that lead to that LAV.”
Another,
“Instead of contaminated CHAT-OPV batches, they suggest that the accidental serial passage of SIV-infected cells between random patients that was amplified by the widespread use of unsterilized needles throughout Africa in the 1950s.”
The article is close to 18,000 words long, so takes a long time to read. These comments don’t go to the end.
Yes Dan Sirotkin (Harvard2bighouse) is a very interesting read when you get past the anger/emotionalism and the obviously fact that his typing/editing/proofing doesnt keep up with the speed of his brain. Pulls together many disparate threads.
Strong opinions but clear he has invested much thought – spent his time in prison much like an academic sabbatical devoting his time to lots of reading of research papers along with tutoring disadvantage, low functioning fellow inmates. The link that you posted earlier today to his older wordpress site has a copy of his statement of remorse submitted at a sentence reduction hearing & he mentions that his incarceration was due to some kind of sexual misconduct but no details.
Believe was orginally focused on immunology selfeducation so as to explain immune response role in racism (havent read his writing on this) but with Covid redirected his focus and prior counter-terrorism education/prof career experience into expoloring Virus Origin story in collaboration with his father (Karl). Karl, the retired father, was instrumental in designing variant tracking database system used worldwide to classify/track viruses; background microbilogy professor in Tennessee and then Los Alamos researcher.
Thanks for the additional information. I guess I got it backward. Dan is the son; Karl is the father.

Germany’s RKI urges contact restrictions and closures to combat Omicron
Germany’s Robert Koch Institute (RKI) released new recommendations on Tuesday for measures to slow the spread of the Omicron wave of Covid-19, urging “maximum” contact restrictions and essential travel only.
The RKI said Germany was at the beginning of a new Covid wave fuelled by the more transmissible Omicron variant.
Health experts in the public agency for disease control recommend measures to be taken “immediately” and into next year.
“Although the Omicron wave is still in the early stages in Germany, a look at other countries shows that that this variant is likely to lead to a wave of infections,” said the RKI, adding that the variant is “easily transmissible” even in fully vaccinated and recovered people.
The RKI estimates that Omicron will become the dominant variant “by the beginning of January 2022” and estimates tens of thousands of infections every day. Currently, it is doubling in Germany roughly every three days.

Maybe their strings have been pulled to make for an even faster collapse than would have happened if they had been semi-rational with regard to Solar/wind/Nuke etc.
Perhaps the dissipating structure is driving insanity in those regions that have little future use – dropping off a net high rate consumer to preserve the remaining structure – the main part of the hurricane with reserves of energy continues on its main course while energy depleted (relatively speaking) bands that cannot be maintained at their current energy level are cast off to wither away on their own semi-isolated path.
My impression is that Russians are there, waiting and watching us, stupid Europeans.
They are very good Chess players and this is a good moment to use this ability.
Yes – in another comment (or perhaps a draft I didnt post) I liked the anology of Nordstream 2 just being a sacrificial Rook that Russia put into play – never with the intent of using but simply to delay/buy time allowing them to maintain relationship while they built/rebuilt their infrastructure and relative independence prior to pulling back on supply to europe. Its the US’s move – they/we have pushed back on NS2 with greed in our eyes to market our gas as LNG to EU – dont think in US interest to do so but I am sure we will divert/waste energy needed hear to continue trying and do so.
Well, if that it is true, it would be a triple flip of cleverness.

How serious is Europe’s natural gas storage shortfall?
Europe may not have enough natural gas in storage for the coming winter; close monitoring of the situation will be essential.
https://www.bruegel.org/2021/12/how-serious-is-europes-natural-gas-storage-shortfall/
This is indeed a very fine article. I had not focused on the fact that EU 27 natural gas production could be ramped up in the winter, and thus it could be used as a substitute for storage. Figure 4 shows this. (You have to hover over the chart to figure out which year is which. 2020 and 2021 are at the very bottom in terms of production.) My guess is that it is the natural gas in Netherlands that could be ramped up and down, not the others. Natural gas production from Netherlands is being lost.
It is not clear to me that this loss of ramping capability, and the fact that more production is going off line, has been adequately taken into account. The range of outputs could be worse than forecast.

Hello first day of winter! No Gas – EU will act like it belongs to them and Russia must sell even when having met contractural requirements…just because their Wokeness deserves it. Very short-sighted, EU being cut off from RU gas was discussed as a possibility since 2012 or before – ignore a problem long enuf well….Well this is where US is supposed to step in and ship LNG to EU – hmmm dont really see that happening
Putin pretty crafty.. expense on a Nordstream 2 never to be used still probably less than economic damage avoided over the last 10 years by pacifying the EU and taking that time to build up his own countries infrastructure and alliances. Gives up a rook to put the EU in check.
I would guess current projections of existing Oil Gas Coal declining resource production curves without counting on any new discovery through 2030 have been monitored to ensure would still meet internal energy consumption of Russia & select allies through at least 2030

Maybe someone can be interested to know that our friend Ugo writes also on the following blog.
The article wants to give some words of calmness and common sense to Italian people, in the midst of this total madness spewed by the Italian media during these days.
In case, you can find it here:
https://www.theunconditionalblog.com/il-covid-19-si-trasmette-via-aerosol-quali-le-conseguenze-per-controllare-la-diffusione-dellepidemia/
One thing Ugo says is
” closed environments are the place where there is the greatest risk of contagion. Knowing that the virus spreads like an aerosol, it is clear that plastic barriers are useless: it would be like trying to stop mosquitoes with walls. For the same reason, distancing at home is also of little use. The best thing, however, is to keep the rooms well ventilated to disperse the viruses outside. This, moreover, is a good thing in general, as even our grandmothers already knew.”
He talks a little about masks, and the controlled studies that would be needed to see whether they really are beneficial.

Maybe we may speculate that the nastiness stuck in that locale?

“China is experiencing a slow-motion economic crisis that could undermine stability in the current regime and have serious negative consequences for the global economy.

My dream is that China experiences mass uprisings and the CCP members are taken to the tops of skyscrapers in Pudong and hung with ropes long enough that their heads tear from the bodies…
Then piles of tyres are set on fire and their kids thrown on top.
Also, “it is difficult to escape the conclusion that China’s economy is systematically weakening and that Mr. Xi’s new priorities offer little hope for a quick turnaround.”
I am afraid he is correct.

Rough sleepers to be offered accommodation for Covid jab in race to tackle vaccine hesitancy
Government announces a £28 million funding boost for councils as part of its Protect and Vaccinate scheme
Rough sleepers will be offered accommodation for getting a vaccine this winter, in a race to tackle pockets of hesitancy across the country.
The Government has announced a £28 million funding boost as part of its Protect and Vaccinate scheme. The extra money will see mobile clinics set up, outreach work in shelters to inform people about the dangers of the virus, and money given to councils to provide safe accommodation.
It comes as the NHS is working around the clock to deliver booster jabs to ward off the threat of the omicron variant and improve vaccination rates.
The Government hopes that offering accommodation post-vaccination will improve uptake, as some rough sleepers are hesitant about side effects when living on the streets.
Prof Jim McManus, the president of the association of public health, welcomed the funding. “It’s important to get people off the streets when they have a vaccine, in case they have the normal flu-like reaction. Trying to keep yourself warm, when your body is having an immune response to a vaccine, and when you’re in the freezing cold, is awful,” he said.

It goes in the same direction of asking mandatory vaccines for entering euthanasia programme in Germany, or being allowed to be in queue for a transplant in Canada and so on.

“Prepare for lack of electricity” in 2022 says Foxconn founder
The founder and director of Foxconn, the world’s largest contract manufacturer of electronics, Terry Gou, has said that “there will be a shortage of electricity in the next year.”
Gou added that “people should not complain about the future lack of electricity.” Instead, they should “prepare”.

My guess is that a nuclear plant was the one that failed last summer, since it is the one whose production is down. Renewables ex hydro (mostly solar) amounted to 3.7%.
Few semiconductor in the next months/years.

Australia to scale up urea manufacturing capability in ‘short-term’ fix to AdBlue shortage
Australia is set to scale up the manufacturing of a key diesel exhaust fluid ingredient vital to keeping the country’s freight and logistics sectors on track.
The federal government and fertiliser manufacturer Incitec Pivot have struck an agreement to significantly increase the local production of urea, used in the diesel exhaust fluid AdBlue.
The company will design, trial, and, once tests are successful, scale up manufacturing of significant quantities of technical grade urea to supply the domestic market.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-12-20/australia-urea-local-production-adblue-shortage-crisis/100713728
Sounds like a great idea. Australia might even create a little for export.
How does the emissions system know is has AdBlue in it and not say blue coloured diesel? Is there a very simple trick to defeat the emissions system?
MishTalk’s Mike Shedlock has some new rules:
Testing the masses for Covid is worse than useless. Standing in line spreads it.
The number of Omicron asymptomatic cases tells us that isolation is not the answer either. People not realizing they have it now spread Omicron like mad.
We need to accept a fair percentage of the people simply will not get vaccinated.
Given the vast majority of severe complications happen in the unvaccinated group, we should not let them clog up the hospitals.
Hospital priority should go first to those with a booster, second to those with two shots, third to those with one shot, and last to the unvaccinated, with exceptions for those under the age of 12.
If the unvaccinated don’t care, we should not care about them. Nor should insurance cover them.
Finally, at long last, it makes sense to say “No worse than the Flu, at least for the vaccinated.” More accurately, for the vaccinated, it now appears to be “Nowhere near as bad as the flu”.
hahaha… he’s a fat old f789 vaxxed to the hilt … so expected… and a MOREON.. and frightened.
If these statements by Mish are true, then he is not as smart as I thought, although I tend to look at most lawyers, politicians, economists, moneychangers, financial planners, bankers, realtors among others as the parasitic load borne by the productive menbers of society. A fractional reserve, fiat/ debt based monetary system is the ultimate enabler, now on steroids becasue of the internet. Fiat currency temporarily disquises or distorts the true value of things -like energy for example, and facilitates enormous wealth extraction and transfer.
So while you are busy growing food and providing for these parasites, they are freed up to steal from you.

hmmm still no mention of those UNAPPROVED potentially life saving/healthcare system deburdening options of out-patient therapeutics or prophylactics
at least hospital administrators will be happy with their cashflow
Of course, nasal swabs may not tell very much. But the 500 million tests (more than one per US citizen) will keep people busy, whether or not they tell much.

I’m not an advocate for crimes against humanity. Please stop with the false accusations. This is a common theme for many commenters here. Try commenting without flinging insults and false accusations. It would be a much more useful debating platform, then.
So you dont blame the unvaccinated for burdening the healthcare system?? You deny being an advocate for denial of human rights of the unvaccinated (because under informed consent they have the right to refuse experimental drugs)? You deny encouraging the follow of orders of perceived authorities (now accused of Crimes Against Humanity”) to follow arbitrary “APPROVED” “NOT APPROVED” (even when prior extensive testing & safe use) and deny promoting prejudice against those who are not so indoctrinated?
FE has a posted article about filing re Crime Against Humanity against the authorities you advocate following.
Of interest:
n Point 43 she argues, “When the heads of the Ministry of Health as well as the Prime Minister presented the vaccine in the United Kingdom and began the vaccination of United Kingdom residents, the vaccinated were not advised, that in practice, they would be taking part in a medical experiment and that their consent is required under the Nuremberg Code. This as a matter of fact is a genetic medical experiment on human beings performed without informed consent under a severe and blatant offense of the Nuremberg Code.”
In addition, Rose argues under Point 44 that there is an obligation for alternative treatments to be discussed, including the risks and benefits of such alternatives. She notes that these were never discussed despite the fact alternative treatments have been proven to be safe and effective “with up to a 100% success rate.”
A key principle of the Nuremberg Code requires that a scientist must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill, and careful judgment required of him that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject.
In Point 46, she argues, “It is known that the mRNA ‘vaccination’ treatments have caused the death of many as well as injury and severe damage (including disablement and paralysis) after the ‘vaccine’ was administered. Despite this fact, the government did not instruct the initiation of an investigation into the matter. It is also questionable that given the experimental nature of these vaccinations, that there are not any full reports available of the numbers of dead or injured, as may be expected in such a medical process for the benefit of the public participating in the experiment.”
You condone and encourage others to have experimental gene therapy “vaccines” knowing that they have killed and injured others and you seek to dismiss those who would look to alternative after weighing the benefits & risks.
At Nuremberg those who “went along to get along” and “just following orders” were found guilty right along with those at the top. So whats it going to be Mike – you still ADVOCATING for “going along to get along” you still going to ADVOCATE for denial of alternatives to the vaccine – you still going to implicity blame the unvaccinated for the overwhelming of the hospitals and deaths cause by the vaccinated and ADVOCATE for denial of human rights and equal treatment of the unvaccinated.
Come on lets hear you deny that you advocate for any of those things – if so then lets hear you ratify the human rights principals espoused above and condemn the way that you and all the other lab rats have been treated.
I don’t advocate any of the things you say that I do. I do think that the vaccines have killed a tiny fraction of those who’ve been vaccinated, certainly not all of those deaths recorded in VAERS and similar databases (such incidents need investigation and such investigations declare very few are likely to have been vaccine related). I regard most vaccines (I haven’t looked into every brand) as safe as most other types of vaccine and I regard that, from the data, they have reduced deaths and serious illness as well as slowing the spread. I don’t regard anyone, not even Trump, as being a moron for deciding to be vaccinated. But I don’t advocate for anything you claim that I advocate for. Indeed, I see more advocacy here for rejecting the vaccines and most other government policies than for following those policies. If you don’t want to get vaccinated, that’s your choice and you have to accept the consequences if there are any.
You’re perfectly entitled to disagree with any of this but please don’t hurl insults and unfounded accusations in doing so. What do you hope to gain by doing so?
War Criminal!
Who votes to hang mike? (that’s rhetorical of course… everyone except norm dunc and anna dissent)
So you are more than happy for unvaccinated to have unfettered access to hospitals and not be blamed or falsely vilified as placing an undue burden on the healthcare system? or is that a consequence of the decision and they deserve to be denied service (if so then Advocating for a human rights violation)
So its ok to kill a tiny number for the”greater good” ?(even if they are little kids who would be perfectly fine without being experimented on) Doesnt sound like complying with good faith of ending the experiment and/or looking at and fully informing about alternatives (but ok to gin up fake studies regarding the alternatives so big Pharma can keep making money) Sounds like Advocating to mandate/continue an experiment known to kill subjects (and without adequate prior informed consent) (you do know other drugs have been pulled for many fewer deaths or injuries)
Keep denying Vaers is real – even when all prior evaluations have said bias is always toward underreporting by 90% – never overreporting.
You obiously dont belive in precautionary principle or hippocratic oath to do no harm – dont get to choose to mandate sacrifice some to save some others – sounds like you Advocate to ignore reports to Vaers – they cant be believed – but will believe the Pharma companies that have multiple convictions and fines for fraudulent marketing of their products.
We aren’t talking about “most vaccines” – we are explicitly concerned with an experimental gene therapy (loophole defined as “vaccine” doesnt meet classic definition) that bypassed adequate safety testing & quality manufacturing standards and has been less than transparent in tracking injuries/deaths (experimental status continues but not collecting data?). It has been given and now mandated in many places without informed consent – so you aren’t advocating or supportive of mRNA COVID “vaccine” mandates?
What do I hope to gain – not looking to gain – just not going to stand by and watch whole class of people be marginalized and dismissed for asserting their right not to be experimented on. Certainly not be blamed/scapegoated for problems that are to a greater degree caused or allowed to happen by those who “go along to get along” and the leaders they follow.
Many Germans/french/poles/checz… went along and complied with Nazis so that life was easier – better to allow the jew to be their focus (no im not jewish) They didnt care – no need to stand up for injustice – believe the authorities even when they are evil.. its safer – be a “good citizen” and believe all lies without question and dismiss all counter evidence out of hand. But someday they eventually get around to comin after those who “go along to get along” – so I guess im trying to save your soul, or short of that get you to keep your smugness, projection of superiority, naive(?) acceptance of corrupt authority, and delusion of model citizenry to yourself!
And let me add.. mike is a 100% MOREON…. when I think of the word MOREON I think of mike..
In fact mike and MOREON are interchangeable…. they are … sinonims.
nostraightpath60,
I’m not happy about anything to do with this pandemic. I’m interested in is looking at the science and the data, basing my opinions on those. I am very uncomfortable about alienating those who decided against the vaccine but I do also hear the hospital nurses who are run off their feet treating unvaccinated cases, primarily (though vaccinated also, of course). However, I don’t, like some here, pretend to know the answer to all this. Some restrictions do appear to have helped but the course of the disease in some countries seems to defy explanation.
I’m not advocating anyone to take the vaccine or not take the vaccine but I would ask them to keep an open mind, think critically and stop taking information only from sites that seem to fit with their current opinion.
You are happy injecting yourself with boosters so you ‘can get around’

From Google Translate:
The article gives an example of a 102-year-old, with COVID. The person’s 80 year old child was not able to care for the person at home, and the person could not be transferred to a nursing home.
Brian May, triple-vaxxed, goes to a birthday lunch with a small circle of of triple-vaxxed mates, picks up a dose of COVID-19, says it’s like the worst flu ever, and then implores his fans to get vaxxed, because:
“I can’t emphasise to you enough: This is not the response that my body would have made on its own. It’s making this response because I’ve had three Pfizer jabs.
“And I beg you, and implore you, to go and get jabbed if you’re not already. Because you need the help.”
https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/brian-may-covid-vaccine-jab-b973040.html
Brian, a vegan, had a heart attack, almost died, and was fitted with three stents in May 2020, and then took his doctor’s advice to eat some animal protein such as eggs and fish after that.
+++++
He later told The Times that fallout from his heart attack has proved difficult to overcome.
“I’ve had complications due to the drugs I’m on, one of which was a stomach explosion that nearly killed me,” he said, before noting that he had few reasons to think he was a candidate for a heart attack before the episode.
“The heart attack was a symbol of an arterial disease, but I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t have high cholesterol and I was exercising through the tour, so why did it happen? At least I now have a heart that is working far better than it was.”
May had stents implanted in three congested arteries. In his initial revelation about the procedure he explained that he was actually “very near death” due to the blockages.
+++++
A 63-year old 40-year Vegan friend of mine on the Isle of Wight recently told me she had a stent put in, and she she was as surprised as Brian was. “If it can happen to someone who eats as healthily as me can get heart disease, it can happen to anyone!”
Perhaps changing from butter to margarine and and from lard to vegetable cooking oil isn’t necessarily a smart idea? Or perhaps once we have so many miles on the clock, these things happen regardless?
In any case, while there is a broad consensus about some very unhealthy diet aspects, such as trans fats, corn syrup and loading up on sugary treats; there is still plenty for the experts to argue about over what constitutes a healthy diet.
stress…
What a fool.
Embarrassing.
Plus, he won’t be able to go to Rod Stewart’s triple-vaxed Xmas bash now. I was looking forward to him being there and reading about it in People magazine.
Virtue signalling is bad for your health
I see a little silhouette-o of a man…
Fruitcake. He should let his guitar do the talkin
As Mike Yeadon observed, a good musician but, sadly ‘he can’t think’.
The assumption made by these idiots is that without the vaxxes, they’d have ended up on a ventilator and then in a coffin, ergo the vaxxes ‘saved’ them.
Like many a well-qualified academic, he probably thinks of himself as an intellectually advanced human being because he has a PhD. But they are rarely able to truly ‘think’.
What amazes me is that whenever public figures are diagnosed with COVID-19 after getting the injections they continue to argue in favor of the injections. They make no public declarations of having reasonable doubts, that they’ve begun to question the safety and efficacy of the injections (an entirely natural, logical response), or simply that they wonder why they caught COVID-19 after getting “vaccinated.” Instead, they always come off as hubristic know-it-alls, pushing the “vaccines” on their fans and followers with unfailing zeal.
“I can’t emphasis to you enough: This is not the response that my body would have made on its own. It’s making this response because I’ve had three Pfizer jabs.”
I completely agree! It wasn’t the response that his body would’ve made on its own; that his natural immune system should’ve been allowed to make on its own, as nature intended. Instead, it was “the worst flu ever” for him.
I had the same sarcastic “I completely agree!” response to that paragraph about “this is not the response that my body would have made on its own.” He delivered a killer line that would a standup comedian would have killed for.
I’m leaning to the opinion that May is another intelligence asset with a role to play and that what he’s saying about the jabs is scripted. Quite a parade of rock stars and TV and Hollywood celebrities have been paraded in front of the general public giving advice and getting people emotionally involved, and I think they are all in on it!!! Apart from Ted Nugent, Eric Clapton and Van Morrison, that is.
I tell you, it is sometimes difficult to sleep at night with my level of suspicion.
Gosh, Tim, sounds bad: I bet you even see patterns moving in the bedroom wallpaper sometimes…..
For us ant-vaxx, mentally-ill CT nuts (thanks Norman) life is like a perpetual Poe horror story.
No wonder Fauci wants to put us out of our misery.

And it is not something weird.
When I talk with someone about some products I would like to buy, I then find in the websites I look advertising about the products I was talking about.
I think it is something related about the microphone which cannot be disconnected.
So it is better to close it in a box, sometime.
I agree, Tim. All of these outings of rock stars, TV and Hollywood celebrities has left me feeling even more disinclined to support their so-called “art” (which is increasingly appearing as propaganda for its place and time).
I’m convinced Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson lied during a lengthy instagram post about he and his family getting COVID-19 from “close family friends.” The pause and smirk on his face said it all, in my opinion.
These outings also reveal to us the extent of what was once well-hidden power. This hidden power is, for reasons unknown to me, reveling in its own coming out party these days.
From Webster’s 1828 dictionary:
“APOC’ALYPSE, noun apoc’alyps. [Gr. from to disclose; and to cover.]
Revelation; discovery; disclosure. The name of a book of the New Testament, containing many discoveries or predictions respecting the future state of Christianity, written by St. John, in Patmos, near the close of the first century.”
I figure “Apocalypse” is an apt word for the times we’re living through.
“Revelation” may also work, although being on the receiving end of disclosure and communication from a supreme being would be taking things up a notch:
“REVELA’TION, noun [Latin revelatus, revelo. See Reveal.]
1. The act of disclosing or discovering to others what was before unknown to them; appropriately, the disclosure or communication of truth to men by God himself, or by his authorized agents, the prophets and apostles.
How that by revelation he made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in few words. Ephesians 3:3. 2 Corinthians 12:1.
2. That which is revealed; appropriately, the sacred truths which God has communicated to man for his instruction and direction. The revelations of God are contained in the Old and New Testament.
3. The Apocalypse; the last book of the sacred canon, containing the prophecies of St. John.”
“I tell you, it is sometimes difficult to sleep at night with my level of suspicion.”
Tim, say no more. I came to believe that most of the super famous actors and singers are masonic assets, at least judging by the absurd number of times they are photographed making recognizably masonic gestures. I know it because there are people who have taken the trouble to collect hundreds of photos where all kinds of stars display these known gestures, and to scroll these images it in fact jaw-dropping. What some whistleblowers claim, in short, is that nobody can reach the highest levels of show business without signing a pact of adherence to, say, an anti-Christian religion. But of course you know all this. Interesting stuff I think.

norm don’t think those obscene thoughts about celine … she’s been damaged… that’s the las thing on her mind as she rhythmically thumps….
Vegan diets tend to be constituted by a large fraction of carbohydrates, at least from what I have seen. This leads to two things, you eat more meals per day which increases insulin levels and carbohydrates increases the insulin level much more than an equal amount of fat. Insulin is a pro-inflammatory hormone. Decades of exposure to high inflammatory levels will take its toll, cardiavacular disease, alzheimer, arthritis etc.
Moreover, eating is just another word for absorbing parts of the outside world into your organism. Eating is necessary but it comes with a price. There’s a lot of pro-infammatory processes going on to digest food, beside insulin we have antinutrients, gluten etc. That’s why it’s unhealthy to eat all the time, in usa the average number of meals per day have doubled since 1970, in europe we may be somewhat behind, but it has been increasing here as well. This is why intermittent fasting appears to be long term beneficial. Eating fat makes it easy to cope with two meals a day. If you are into carbohydrates you will likely find it harder to cope. Vegetarian seed oils are more or less all pro-inflammatory, traditional fats all look like they are the best bet in the end. If I were a vegan I would eat plenty of coconut, avocado and olives, then maybe it would be acceptable.
I find it interesting that the opposite of the official dietary advice holds true. That is, fat is better than carbohydrates and saturated fat is better than polyunsaturated fat. If I were into conspiracy theories I would have connected it to the corona. When things start to look bad, that is in the 1970-ies, prime the population with bad dietary advice. Release the virus when things look terminally bad. A population with high levels of inflammation will be affected by even a milder virus. In between these times you earn money on selling crappy food and crappy medications for curing the symptoms caused from crappy food. An unhealthy population would also be easy to control through the medical establishment. Maybe far fetched…
Very interesting comment. Everything you said confirms what I’ve heard from reliable sources elsewhere, and your tentative venture into speculation makes sense. If hidden powers HAD conspired to make the population unhealthy by deliberately giving them bad food choices and lifestyle advice, they couldn’t have done a better job.
However, it could all be put down to commercial interests wanting to make money. You are a mega-corporation overseeing the growing of all those industrially farmed vegetables, far in excess of the demand for them. So you process them in unspeakable ways into various products to sell for a profit—such as oils and margarine and corn syrup and peanut butter—and add additives to make them tastier and more addictive and to stop them from rotting, and make a profit out of the deal. That’s a perfectly good financial motive.
But then again, we have huge corporate groups that make the foods that make people ill and that also make the pharmaceuticals to treat the illnesses created by these same foods. There’s a perfectly good financial motive for doing that too.
When you have an economic system in which businesses are allowed to raise pigs, cattle and chickens under the sort of conditions we needn’t go into here, and few people bat an eyelid, it is tempting to ask “what evils aren’t they allowed to engage in? Why not factory farm other people too?
If there is such a thing as “the elders” I guess a conspiracy like that wouldn’t be unlikely. But as you say corporate interests could explain it as well. I just got suspicious from the fact that the recommendations are the opposite from healthy regarding carbs and fats. Given the suspicious background of the corona virus you can’t trust anything anymore.
Excellent reply. You need not fear any Marek, which is an effect that hits populations with marginal immune systems. A good immune system will always win because it is able to adapt over a time scale of one day, whereas the virus still takes of order 100 days to evolve.
And carbs (and vegetable oils!) are the reason we have a world full of degraded IS. Now I am working manually on my project and need some carbs, so I eat some fruits as well, and peanuts. Otherwise my standard diet is (in Japan) bone broth, butter or tallow, fish, meat and fermented vegetables (which have no sugar left, and much of the inflammatory proteins gone).
drb,
Are you familiar with Professor John Yudkin?
If I remember correctly, he was the Chief Medical Officer in England back in the 70s.
He released a book back in 1972 called “Pure, White and Deadly” outlining the evils of processed sugar.
And like the truthtellers of the today, he was ridiculed, marginalised, condemned to professional obscurity….
If sugar looked like what it does to you, no one would ever eat it.
One of my heroes, no doubt. A principled and bright man.
I own this book. It’s a good one.
Thanks for your insights. Do you have any sources that list which foods are best on an anti-inflammatory basis, and which are worst?
If a person looks at studies of vegan life expectancy compared to other diets, the vegans never come out very well. People whose diets include a lot of minimally processed fruits and vegetables, plus eggs and perhaps some fish, come out better.
I think that part of the issue is that quite a few vegans are very thin. Mortality tables show a J shaped mortality curve. While having a BMI over 30 is bad, there is also a problem with a person’s BMI being too low. I am not sure whether 20 is the cutoff, or something a little lower than that.
One problem with low BMI is that the person has little “reserve” to fight off any infectious disease that comes along, or any physical injury, or rounds of chemotherapy for cancer. Another problem is that low BMI people seem to have more problems with secondary infections after surgery or after a viral infection.
Perhaps we can conclude that a person needs to get enough calories from the food that they eat. This generally requires eating some animal products besides plant products.
Try ginger and turmeric. This is a pretty good combination to either add to foods or drink as a tea. Both are high in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties such as gingerols and curcumin. Curcumin is known to be high in anti-inflammatory properties.
A good fruit option would be tart cherries or tart cherry juice. The benefit here is that tart cherries are high in melatonin.
The idea I’ve developed is that we are truly omnivorous animals and we need to eat various food and mix them.
The less they are artificial, industrialized and sophisticated, the better it is.
Try not to be fat, neither thin.
Do excercise, but not too much.
In medio stat virtus 🙂
Sorry if I appear too simple.
Wise words, Student. And isn’t wisdom invariably simple?
A bit of everything, and the best and purest you can buy, certainly spreads the risk.
I also believe in listening to the inner voice which sometimes says ‘Steak!’ or ‘Liver!’ or ‘Salt!’ and ‘Cream!’ or ‘Brandy!’.
Getting very sick with a bad chill once , having sat for hours waiting for a train on a freezing platform, I simply drank off a whole bottle of really good red wine and woke up the next morning fighting fit.
Would a doctor have ordered it today? I doubt it. But they used to…….
No lists. I try to keep it simple. Traditional fats are better than carbs. Vegetables are generally good, fermented even better as it destroys antinutrients and sugar. Meat is generally not bad, though industrially produced likely contains a lot of crap, charcuterie products contains a (mildly) carcinogenic preservative.
I bake my own bread 100% whole grain and sourdough, simpler to bake than other breads, you only have to mix the ingredients, of course much tastier as well. The sourdough destroys antinutrients and gluten (although gluten is not destroyed 100%). Three days fermentation are optimal from a health perspective, but then it gets really sour. I believe half the time is good enough and I prefer the taste. Plenty of butter and cheese or mackerel on the slices.
Many spices and berries are rich in antioxidants, turmeric is popular. Vitamin-C is also a powerful antioxidant.
Usually I skip breakfast, I only have breakfast occasionally in order to be socialise with my family. A good amount of lunch. Never really hungry at supper time. Often homemade saurkraut with olives and plenty of olive oil. If I have appetite enough perhaps a slice or more of sourdough bread.
How does one integrate High Grade Bolivian Blow into this dietary plan?
Do you think that it might be good to have a Bolivian Blow Fast maybe one day per week? Blow is a fabulous appetite suppressor.
Thanks!
Pizza is an excellent anti inflammatory .. but it has to be quality pizza… not Dominos
I’m sure Brian May will be happy to hear this. But remember, before you prepare yourself a delicious homemade vegan pizza, first you have to catch yourself one prime-quality vegan, and preferably an organic one.
The munchkins are as I type raising the dough in the dough machine in preparation for a pizza fiesta …

Ketogenic diets are very anti-inflammatory as long as they aren’t constructed around vegetable oils and other processed foods.
Most seeds are inflammatory, and thus basically all grain based foods are inflammatory. There are things you can do like soak them or sprout them that make them less inflammatory tho (soaking oats overnight before breakfast is a very traditional way to produce something healthier). Sourdough bread is a big healthier than white bread or whole wheat bread because it is slightly fermented.
And as others said in this thread, fermented vegetables are the healthiest way to eat them. Things like Natto or Sauerkraut are quite healthy. Fermented dairy is also quite healthy, either as yogurt or kefir.
Thanks!
Agreed. And time restricted eating (TRE), plus other fasting methods, seem to be quite beneficial. I have tried TRE several times and it does improve the arthritis in my hands, though other people don’t seem to see the same benefits.

“Ketogenic diets are very anti-inflammatory as long as they aren’t constructed around vegetable oils and other processed foods.”
I agree, ketegenic diet look like the the best diet. 100% whole grain sourdough bread may be considered a vice.
Sorry I should’ve finished the entire comment before replying:
“Perhaps we can conclude that a person needs to get enough calories from the food that they eat. This generally requires eating some animal products besides plant products.”
Animal products also provide you with a lot of vitamins and minerals that vegans don’t get in sufficient amounts, like fat soluble vitamins (D3, K2, &c.), B vitamins (B12 esp.), and minerals that are inhibited in absorption by phytonutrients (Iron, Magnesium are two big ones).
Yes everything you said here about diet and inflammation is correct, Christopher.
It is related to the v!rus. I think it’s still an open question if it goes so far as to make the population sick to be open for this type of dep0pulation scheme. However the basic incentives have been there from big Pharma, big industrial food, scientists that produce “objective studies” for funding, and captive regulatory agencies.
A sick population is profitable, easy to control, and continues having lower willpower to purchase even more unhealthy food, medicine that treats/maskes symptoms without curing anything, and even things like more consumer products.
“Looking at the impact of increasing uptake over time, a rapid booster program would likely enable control with minimal public health safety measures by end of March,” the modellers wrote on December 17.
“The epidemic peak could be delayed with public health safety measures until the boosters kick in, allowing the program to have greater impact.”
The modelling has been given to federal, state and territory leaders ahead of their national cabinet meeting on Wednesday to discuss boosters and public health measures.
Oh i see… so lockdown asap until March — but they always lie about that so let’s say June? Ya June sounds reasonable… 6 months in lockdown + boosters with the same shit that failed already

Omicron cases could hit 200,000 a day next year without tougher restrictions, Doherty modelling warns
The Doherty Institute modelling predicts that without low-to-medium restrictions such as density and visitor limits, waning vaccine protection against the Omicron variant puts Australia on track to hit about 200,000 cases a day by late January or early February.
The modelling also assumes that, in addition to being much more transmissible than the Delta variant, Omicron causes equally severe disease, stating that “all international modelling groups are using this conservative assumption”. This is despite early data out of South Africa suggesting Omicron may be less severe.

Well then… how about more boosters + a nice big fat Lock Down!
Apparently if you beat a dog he just lies down and gives up… not sure why anyone would beat a dog… dogs are exceptional animals… oh right Fauci likes to torture dogs… if there is a hell then there will be a spot for him … remember that scene from 1984 where the guys head is put in a cage and hungry rats are let in 🙂
F#%K modeling and the modelers; both need to be confined to a safe space where they won’t be allowed to inflict massive damage via public policy.
Given that most of the pro athletes testing positive have 0 symptoms I am thinking these are false +.. and that most of these numbers in the general pop are false positives…
False or not .. the lockdowns etc… are real… the fear … is real… the boosters… are real… the heart damage … is real
It is the first time daily cases have reached the 3000 mark anywhere in Australia.
Hospitalisations again increased today to 284, up from 261 yesterday.
There are now 39 patients in intensive care.

For Dr. Don Vinh, an infectious diseases specialist and medical microbiologist at the McGill University Health Centre, the booster campaign isn’t so much about stopping Omicron’s spread as it is protecting people from the worst effects of COVID-19.
“The strategy to prevent hospitalizations is going to be through boosters,” he said.
If you have two vaccine doses, get a third, he said. And if you’ve only had one, or none, get more, he said.
Furness believes that having three doses of vaccine will help us fight the virus down the road, even if it won’t save Canada from Omicron in the next month.

Restaurant owners in New York City are – yet again – facing closures after the city logged a record 21,908 cases Saturday following SantaCon
Following SantaCon celebrations during the weekend, the city logged a record 21,908 cases – a slight increase over the previous record of 21,027 cases reported the day before – and in response, a host of eateries have closed.
At least 50 restaurants have closed across the city’s five boroughs, including Boilermaker in Manhattan, whose Sippin’ Santa pop-up bar is a seasonal favorite
Contento, the popular East Harlem eatery, shut its doors after a customer who dined there Tuesday tested positive for the virus
Popular Broadway plays such as Harry Potter, Hamilton, and Tina: The Tina Turner Musical, were also suspended
Google revised its vaccine guidelines and set firm six-month deadline for non-vaccinated employees to get their shots
JP Morgan Chase told unvaccinated employees they were banned from entering NYC offices and Goldman Sachs has postponed its remaining holiday parties

2022 and 2023
In recent weeks I have seen an all-white vehicle, something like a hearse, on the streets of Quito. As I say, it is all-white, save the one word: Crematorio (Crematorium), stenciled in black letters on its side. This is something new. I am seeing this crematorium vehicle for the first times, but assuredly not for the last. All of us will be seeing these cadaver collection vehicles. And when the numbers of bodies increase, we will see dump trucks and front-end loaders going around and performing corpse collection services. However, when the numbers of dead mount too high, we may simply see corpses left to rot in the streets. What I mean is: what happens when the funeral home directors, coroners, morgue personnel, dump truck divers, and track-hoe and front-end loader operators fall ill and/or die? Who will scoop up and inter the rotting corpses then? Who will excavate the mass burial pits? Who will circulate through the streets collecting bloated, decomposing, dead bodies?
You? Your friends and neighbors? Will you go around through the streets and collect thousands of rotting, oozing, pestilential corpses crawling with maggots, and haul them away to massive, common grave, burial pits?
I doubt that you will, I really do.
As I recollect, years ago I once told someone in a deep dream that love is one of the most important forces in the Universe. I would go further now and say that love, properly understood, is the glue that holds the Universe together. Sadly, a great deal of this planet’s human population has sunk so deeply into Satanism that a lot of things will be flying apart in the next two or three years. I gather that anywhere from 50% to 90+% of the population are in real danger of dying or being killed by about mid-2024.
The entire global system will soon fly apart, with disastrous effect, because it is not based on love, but on Satanism. It’s failing catastrophically right now. The evidence for that is everywhere, in country after country: rampant crime of all sorts, rampant human trafficking, massive life-destroying drug abuse, a plague of alcoholism, narcotics trafficking, murder, war, environmental and ecological destruction, civilization-ending, economic mismanagement and exploitation, demonic human sacrifice on an industrial scale (abortion, murderous v(@)kseens, warfare). This is just a partial inventory of what is going on, but it suffices to convey the idea. The upshot of it all is that there are going to be a lot of cadavers all over the place. The death toll will be horrific.
https://eventhorizonchronicle.blogspot.com/2021/12/2022-and-2023.html
The corpses will probably be a food source and the leftovers may be burned for health reasons on the street corners. The younger the corpse generally the more succulent. Burning needs an accelerant though. Diesel drenched newspapers inside tyres are a possibility.
I’m sure the local rooks and crows know what’s coming – they look at one with a rather knowing eye these days.
Nearly 700 years since the Black Death, and a thousand since the last great battle here against the Vikings, they must be looking forward to some choice human tidbits.
For my part, I’m investing in a hand-cart, bell, and rubber gloves. …….

“We are aware of reports circulating in social media where an adverse event has a temporal association with the vaccination. This is not indicative of a causal relationship to the vaccine. Causal relationships between AEFIs and the vaccine are established through robust pharmacovigilance examinations that take into consideration global reporting of the adverse event, the background rate for the condition, and safety signal analysis.”
In other words, Ashley Bloomfield wants us to believe that an adverse effect rate 30 times that of the flu vaccine is a coincidence. Yet Hill’s standard criteria of medical causality include repeated temporal association as criteria of greatest importance. He discusses this first in his seminal text still in use today. As Astrid asserts on behalf of MoH, it cannot be reasonably held that such associations are not indicative. As a scientist, the first evidential alert to causality is always temporal association. Of necessity, the association should prompt further investigations.
Scientists then ask questions such as Is the association plausible? Does it occur in different settings? Are rates of occurrence significant? Mandatory reporting is essential. Astrid refers to the need for robust pharmacovigilance; this is the name given to safety and assessment protocols used in drug trials. In drug trials, mandatory reporting is always required. Astrid also states:
Yeadon and Co also forecast, and warned regulators, about the range of likely adverse events, describing them accurately before it all blew up.
They identified the mechanisms, and have been proved right.
Meanwhile, the regulators mostly sit on their hands, tally up the deaths and injuries, and – when feeling particularly creative – doctor the figures downwards…..
So, correlation does indicate causation in this case.
This release presents the association between weekly vaccination totals and all-cause mortality for the 60+ age cohort. We can make this association because of our unique situation in NZ. Protected at our borders, we have a very low incidence of Covid, and therefore, the short-term impact of vaccination on health can be reviewed in isolation from the confounding factors of Covid infections and deaths.
Writing this has been a painful release because it involves personal tragedies affecting families and loved ones. Some of them are not aware of the causes of their loss or, in other cases, have been misled through preventable mistakes of government and civil servants. It has been clear for some time that the rate of adverse effects proximate to mRNA Covid vaccination is unprecedented throughout NZ vaccination history.
Adverse effects reported to CARM are running at 30 times that of flu vaccines. It is also apparent that many of the adverse effects are very serious.
https://www.garymoller.com/post/hundreds-of-deaths-associated-with-vaccination
The article shows a pretty compelling graph of excess deaths correlated with vaccine doses.

norm – what do you see? I am curious… I really am
Yeah, it seems pretty compelling, doesn’t it? But, of course, it’s the old trick of including only some data, and altering the scale to make it look like the correlation is so compelling that there must be causation. However, the author didn’t graph previous years. I looked at deaths for 2019, to get some idea of whether the apparent connection is actually not a connection at all. Data is from the NZ Statistics web site. I don’t have time to do all weeks so just had a look at May, July and September for 2021 and 2019. In 2021, those figures (deaths for ages 60 and over) are 2526, 2814 and 2724, respectively. Seems to be similar to the graph, though exact figures weren’t supplied. However, for 2019, the same months had 2643, 3126 and 2517 deaths, respectively. So it seems that a peak of deaths occurs in July/August usually. Could be because it is the depths of winter here.
I didn’t check the vaccine data but am surprised that there wasn’t an obvious jump for the week ending 16th October as that was when 130,000 vaccinations were given across the country. However, data on deaths shows this is a bogus correlation.
So I think that’s a fail for that story but typical obfuscation.
Why do you waste your time mike?
Everyone knows that you are supporting crimes against humanity and will risk your life to be able to enter the pie shop…

And the OFWers go hahahahahahahaha… hahahahahaha… how ridiculous
There you have it, folks. I show that the correlation graph cherry picked by an author that Fast Eddy linked to, thinking it was absolute proof of a narrative that I’ve repeatedly put holes in, and he had no comeback to my showing it was proof of nothing. Instead, he hurls insults and derision, and expects to be taken seriously himself.
Does anyone else here have anything serious to say about what I’ve shown about the supposed causation that the graph tried to show?
That’s the problem with having zero credibility after that ‘it’s ok to force people cuz I want to get around’ statement …
You were already on the edge but that sealed your fate. You are in the Hall of Shame now.
