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.

60X increase in athletes dropping on the sports field is just a fluke according to Twitter
The fact checkers say it is just a fluke. None of the incidents were vaccine related. One player may have had COVID before. One player wasn’t vaccinated. So nothing at all to see here. Move along.

Smugsville, an everyday story of vaccinated village folk
VILLAGE life in one of the loveliest counties of England is pretty good. During the lockdowns, the surroundings were a gift, but still a green-gilded cage. Many of its human inhabitants frighten the life out of me. Allow me to introduce you to the tip of the iceberg.
Joyce and Ken, childless, retired and very fat, live comfortably and peacefully in a pretty cottage. They’ve worked hard, seen the world and enjoyed life to the full. Passing the time of day one sunny morning in April last year, I comment that lockdown is a tragedy for the young.
‘It seems so hard that they should have to give up their lives,’ I say.
‘Oh, I don’t know,’ says Ken, puffing as he staggers towards his garden gate. ‘Children are resilient. It’s the only way we can stay safe.’
I fail to bite my tongue.
Angela, sprightly in her late seventies, enjoys excellent health. She and her husband Gordon sensibly downsized into a small, manageable house that they built a few years ago. They sold their family home exceedingly well to Colin and Pam.
Kindly Colin gets stuck into village life. He likes to mention the Victorian pile in which he and Pam raised their children. He refers to the West Midlands public school they attended. ‘Facilities second to none,’ he says with awe.
I comment that it is a shame the children who should be enjoying those lovely playing fields and art studios now are all in solitary. Pam shrugs happily. ‘Can’t complain about this weather though, can we?’

Christmas beckons, and Euro Grinches, ready to steal the splendor and glory of the season abound. In this Christian calendar we are in “Advent” for a few days yet, waiting, awaiting…and not the recent panic porn stats or what they might foretell re the lapsed state of our civil liberties.
Fear and anxiety have become default settings, and they are destroying people’s souls, their wits, their very sense of self. It is heartbreaking to see people pining for the simplicity of being able to move about, be with friends, celebrate eking out a survival, affirming togetherness, singing however imperfectly those yuletide songs of joy.
Contrasted with this are the constant threats of lockdowns, the “15 million jabs to freedom” that curdled into mocking nothingness, this recurringly sad, silly, perverted psychological shell game, dangling freedom, and pulling it away. Abnormal and anti-life, and we wait for the next “dispensation” from these ghouls and scavengers.
Want to end the pandemic as someone said? If feeling ill, get some Vitamin D and Zinc, some chicken soup, rest for several days, do not take a frigging test, and keep the television “porn” off. In 99.6% of cases, you’ll rebound, and have robust natural immunity thereafter.
sorry mike.. no yodelling
Nice:
Has a new Testament been released in which “doubting Covid” and the Commissar of Covidstan, Ursula von der Leyen, is against the law? And her medical degree hails from where? Free speech can be trammeled, experts shunned, but chasing people with spike protein injections, switching between ice creams and internment camps as incentives, is fine, as we veer between Kafka and Kubrick.

BTW – kubrick is the guy who faked the moon landings and confessed to it
Kubrick also made Dr. Strangelove as well as Eyes Wide Shut.
That docuflic you are citing was a mockumentary.. this has been explained to you several times already. Nevertheless, that big rotating sphere (ft. 3D topography) they trained on looks ~1:1 to the “live feed” later released footage anyway. So, in summary you are as often partly right but for the wrong reasons..
I never for once thought that that confession was by the real Stanley Kubrick. It was a passable impersonation, but there was nothing to suggest it was the real Stanley.
If it was anywhere, the real Stanley’s confession on the moon thing was The Shining. I’m only saying “if”.

I love denial-non-denials couched as questions thrown back at the questioner.
“In Case You Still Needed Proof That Stanley Kubrick Didn’t Fake the Moon Landing:
His daughter calls conspiracy theories “a grotesque lie.””
Well, there you go!
What more proof does anyone need?
Can we get a fact checker site to prove that’s not Stanley in that video and even if it was that he didn’t mean what he said — or better yet – he never actually said any of that … and we are just hearing things…
so many denials and reverse denial in OFW that i usually forget what the original ‘denial’ was all about.–or lose track of which denial thread it is.

UK: Being Vaccinated DOUBLES the Risk of Getting Omicron
An interesting post on substack today mentioned a brand new and interesting data set: the UK Coronavirus Infection Survey from Dec 21. My quick post will take a slightly different take on the data, that is nothing short of shocking but completely agrees with what is happening in Denmark.
https://igorchudov.substack.com/p/uk-being-vaccinated-doubles-the-risk
norm .. if you get 4 shots what quadruples the risk?
Data set is incorrect in that 25% of the population being unvaccinated is wrong, Its actually more like 50%. The 25% only refers to those eligible for vaccination.
The fascinating figure is that maybe 30% of London’s population is still free range organic.
With the high % of African and Asian immigrants it seems most plausible to me – they quite rightly don’t trust whitey with a syringe.
I don’t trust whitey with a syringe either.
Eddie Jackson was down with that too.
The funny thing is, Tim, that the NHS propaganda ads aimed at convincing British blacks to get jabbed are full of sleek smiling Indians – they can’t seem to find any black doctors to do them.
Now, I’d certainly be wondering just why those Indians would ever care about me…….
At this rate, I’ll have to become a Rasta.
Yes, it’s incorrect but OurWorldInData shows the UK to have 69% vaccinated with at least 2 doses. So it’s more like 30% unvaccinated or with only one dose.
Horrific

“Sputnik V” Is the Model Great Reset Drug With the Most Obvious Direct Ties to the World Economic Forum
Vladimir Putin and Klaus Schwab go way back.
In January of this year, Putin gave a keynote (virtual) address before the World Economic Forum. The theme of the January 2021 forum: “The Great Reset.”
Beginning his speech with a warm “dear Klaus,” Putin recalled how he first met Mr. Schwab in 1992 and since then had regularly attended events organized by the Fourth Industrial Revolution visionary.
Putin used his address to urge for “expanding the scale of [COVID] testing and vaccinations” across the globe—policies that have ushered in worldwide medical apartheid.
Echoing the sentiments of western leaders, Putin also argued that the global economy would need to be rebuilt from the ground up by central banks:
[T]he key question today is how to build a program of actions in order to not only quickly restore the global and national economies affected by the pandemic, but to ensure that this recovery is sustainable in the long run, relies on a high-quality structure and helps overcome the burden of social imbalances. Clearly, with the above restrictions and macroeconomic policy in mind, economic growth will largely rely on fiscal incentives with state budgets and central banks playing the key role.
The Russian president has repeatedly stated vaccination should be voluntary—but his personal opinion has had no impact on actual policy. All 85 regions of Russia now have decrees requiring certain segments of the population to get the shot.
On December 17, Putin voiced support for a nationwide QR code law—one of the most unpopular pieces of legislation in recent Russian history. The introduction of digital health IDs would in essence make vaccination compulsory for those who want to partake in life’s most ordinary activities.
In late November, after the health ministry approved “Sputnik-M”—Russia’s COVID shot for ages 12-17—Putin suggested authorities begin “thinking about” vaccinating children starting from the age of two. How many two-year-olds have died from COVID in Russia? (Trick question: the Russian government doesn’t disclose COVID-linked deaths by age group. In fact, the Russian government refuses to publish lots of highly important COVID-related data, including statistics on post-vaccination side effects. Why?)
https://anti-empire.com/sputnik-v-is-the-model-great-reset-drug-with-the-most-obvious-direct-ties-to-the-world-economic-forum/
hm, someone is being played.. but who by whom..
only the future would answer that question properly (in few next yrs and decades)..
Putin is playing the ‘good king but bad ministers’ game.
If it all goes wrong, he can blame them……….
I used to think well of Putin but after this he is just one of the gang.
This operation will involve resource catalogs and Russia will be the largest player by far.
Yawn, gossips, innuendo, .. unless Russian living standards (relative to contenders) start to drop off, hard(er) depop materializes.. for real etc.
Even if you run govs with certain patriotic twist, you still face parallel and or already disciplined bunch of lieutenants / oligarchs structure, they are simply needed (or not worth removing) to run things.
Hockey mate Pfizer Heart Update – ACC has informed him that vaccine injury claims take ‘2-9 months to process’…. so assuming someone is unable to work …. how do they live?
I have called and got a manager – nothing can be done – they have it in their fine print – 2-9 months for treatment injuries…
We left it as follows:
You know what – this country is a joke – ACC is a joke – the government is a joke – Ardern is a joke – and YOU are a joke.
And hung up
Canadian divorce courts come down hard on anti-vaccine parents who deny COVID-19 pandemic
In a pandemic, conflict about vaccinating children can be “significantly polarizing,” according to a judge of the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta.
That is especially true when the opposing parties are parents with shared custody asking a court to break their deadlock.
The Alberta judge’s mid-December decision to let a mother vaccinate her two children without the consent of their anti-vaccine father illustrates what has become the usual judicial response.
One parent wants to vaccinate their child in a pandemic. The other denies the pandemic even exists. One parent follows provincial public health advice. The other claims pandemic information from the government is propaganda, and demands to put the pandemic on trial.

Exactly. I’m full of friends vaccinated who had recently Covid and some of them had to wait up to 4 weeks to become negative again on a test for Covid.
So, the vaccine is what caused them to test positive?
Or they caught COVID after being vaccinated, and remnants of COVID seem to be hanging around indefinitely?
CEO of New York’s Largest Hospital System Says ‘No Crisis’ Despite Surging COVID Cases
The CEO of New York state’s largest hospital system urged people to stay calm amid the surge in coronavirus cases while appearing on CNN Tuesday.
Michael Dowling, CEO of Northwell Health — which serves New York City, Long Island and Westchester County — told CNN that while the area’s positivity rate is rising, it does not automatically mean an increase in hospitalizations.
Dowling said that as of Tuesday, hospitals in the Northwell Health network were still managing the case increases.
“We’re doing very, very well. Very manageable. There’s no crisis,” he said. About 460 COVID-19 patients are in the hospital system, less than 10% of its overall capacity, Dowling said.

IMAGINE we were living in medieval times…. and you’d been invited to a royal banquet. 👑 🍷 🍲
The ones in charge were extremely keen to get you to drink the wine. They were very insistent. 👀
You’d probably assume the wine was poisoned.
“Drink this wonderful wine.”
“No thank you.”
“Be a good guest! Drink the wine. We uncorked it especially. It’s a beautiful and rare vintage.”
“No thank you. I appreciate the offer though.”
“Drink the wine. It’s very expensive but you can have a glass for free, and we’ll give you an extra plate of supper.”
“No I’m fine as I am.”
“Drink the wine and we’ll feed your entire village for a week and reduce your taxes.”
“Wow all that for wine? What’s in it? Still, no thank you.”
“We’ll make you a Duke.”
“Very generous but no thanks I’m content in my home.”
“You are not anti-wine are you????”
“No I just don’t feel like drinking this wine this evening.”
“Drink the damn wine or we’ll stop you working.”
“Eh?”
You notice they’re getting desperate now.
“We’ll ban you from markets.”
“Wow your tone has changed.”
“Now you need to drink 3 glasses or we’ll stop you riding your horse or seeing your family for the next year.”
“Wait, what? 3 glasses? Can’t see my family?”
“Did we say 3 glasses? We meant 3 bottles.”
“3 bottles?”
“Yes…every few months we want you to drink 3 bottles of this particular wine we’ve prepared indefinitely for the next years.”
“Years??”
Yes, or we’ll try you for treason.”
“Ok what is IN this damn wine that you are trying SO HARD to get everyone to drink it?”
“We can’t tell you. Trade secret.”
“It’s poisoned isn’t it?”
“No..it’s…ummm…it’s just really really good for you. It’s um, special healing wine.”
“Then why all the threats?”
“We just need you to… I mean we strongly encourage you to drink the wine so you don’t miss out.”
“But the Earl drank a glass and collapsed.”
“Unrelated.”
“No…like he was fine then had a glass then keeled over…he’s still on the floor writhing. Look at him! His face is blue and he’s clawing at his chest.”
“Coincidence. Guards…please escort the Earl to his chambers. He’s had too much wine.”
“I knew it was the wine! What about the rest of the court? Half of them also collapsed after the wine.”
“Those guests got ill from something else. Probably the chicken.”
“All at the same time?”
“You sure do ask a lot of questions! Guards! Guards… get this man his wine.”
“I don’t want it. What if something happens to me after drinking it?”
“We’re not liable for that.”
“Not liable for the wine you produce? I definitely don’t want it.”
“Drink your wine so everyone else doesn’t get a hangover.”
“Huh? That makes no sense. Maybe if they didn’t keep DRINKING they wouldn’t get HUNGOVER in the first place?”
“Look at these paintings of people drinking wine all over the gallery. Look how happy they look.”
“Paintings? Look, I don’t drink wine. I don’t want the wine. Even the idea of drinking this wine leaves a bad taste in my mouth.”
“Ah no matter if you don’t want to drink it.”
“Ok good. Let’s drop the subject now”
“You don’t have to drink it. We can pump it directly into your veins. You won’t even have to taste it”
“Wait, into my veins? Are you serious? I don’t want your damn wine!”
“TAKE THE DAMN WINE NOW! WE’VE ALREADY PAID FOR A WHOLE CRATE FOR EACH MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY! WE’VE SIGNED AN ONGOING CONTRACT WITH THE VINEYARD! ANYONE WHO TALKS BADLY ABOUT THIS WINE WILL HAVE THEIR TONGUES CUT OUT! PEOPLE WHO ARE NOW DRUNK ON THE LAST BATCH WILL BE RECLASSIFIED AS SOBER AND MUST DRINK THE NEW BATCH! AND WE WANT YOUR KIDS TO DRINK THE WINE TOO! EVEN YOUR BABY. SWAP HER MILK BOTTLE FOR WINE! SHE’S OLD ENOUGH FOR WINE NOW! AND YOUR PREGNANT WIFE! SHE NEEDS IT TO KEEP HER HEALTHY! EVERYONE DRINK THE WINE!”
Nice! And it could go on:
“Okay, I’ll drink the wine but Your Majesty must drink with me.”
“Oh, I already drank it.”
“No, I insist, I want to toast with my beloved king, Besides it’s bad manners to drink alone.”
“But wine is bad for my stomach, end my personal physician recommended I only drink one glass a day.”
“OK, I’ll come back tomorrow so we can have a glass. From the same bottle. See you.”
“Guards! Grab that man and drown him in a barrel of wine NOW!”

Biden’s clean car rule points to tenuous path ahead for climate change action without Congress
Ben Adler
Ben Adler·Senior Climate Editor
Tue, December 21, 2021, 4:27 PM
Environmental advocates were bitterly disappointed on Sunday, when Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., announced that he wouldn’t provide his crucial vote for Build Back Better, President Biden’s omnibus spending bill that contains $555 billion for fighting climate change. But they were greeted the very next day with welcome news: The Environmental Protection Agency finalized a rule that will require manufacturers of cars and light trucks to decrease their greenhouse gas emissions.
Under the new rule, auto manufacturers must cut vehicle emissions between 5 percent and 10 percent from 2023 to 2026. In 2026, cars will be required to get 40 miles per gallon.
These twin developments foreshadow what may be the future of climate change action for the duration of Biden’s time in office: using the power of the executive branch to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Good luck with that!!
Like 40😇💣🙈mpg going to help stop it….lol

How Does Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 Affect the Brain and Its Implications for the Vaccines Currently in Use
by Philip R. Oldfield, Jennifer Hibberd and Byram W. Bridle
“This mini-review focuses on the mechanisms of how severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) affects the brain, with an emphasis on the role of the spike protein in patients with neurological symptoms. Following infection, patients with a history of neurological complications may be at a higher risk of developing long-term neurological conditions associated with the α-synuclein prion, such as Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body dementia. Compelling evidence has been published to indicate that the spike protein, which is derived from SARS-CoV-2 and generated from the vaccines currently being employed, is not only able to cross the blood–brain barrier but may cause inflammation and/or blood clots in the brain. Consequently, should vaccine-induced expression of spike proteins not be limited to the site of injection and draining lymph nodes there is the potential of long-term implications following inoculation that may be identical to that of patients exhibiting neurological complications after being infected with SARS-CoV-2. However, further studies are needed before definitive conclusions can be made.”

War Criminal Tony Blair: Preparation for fourth Covid jabs needed to ‘stay ahead of curve’
The report emphasises the need for a strong “infrastructure” for future vaccine rollouts, noting that the speed at which the booster rollout has taken place is slower than the original two jabs because of a smaller national effort.
It calls for a “command and control” structure that could be rolled out in future, providing a “coherent public-health emergency operations centre” when required, as well as a “well-established system of Covid passes”.
It also calls on the Government to campaign to convince unvaccinated people to get jabbed, particularly the over-50s who are at more risk of hospital admission from Covid-19.
The report recommends the Covid vaccine is rolled out to five to 11-year-olds in order to lessen the impact of Covid on their education, and says that saliva-based PCR testing could be used in future, as it is less invasive than current test kits.

Spike protein enters all organs:
“Herein, we show that (SP=”Spike Protein”) had a body-wide biodistribution, slow regional elimination, except for the liver, which showed an accumulation, and differential organ uptake. SP uptake was highest for the lungs and this was followed by the kidney, heart, and liver, but lowest in the brain. SP was present in the choroid plexus (CP) but there were no detectable SP levels in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Thus, the brain vascular barriers were effective in restricting the entry of a viral protein (SP) into brain parenchyma and CSF in young healthy mice. Also, SP was present in the salivary glands, duodenum, and spleen.”

While there is SARS-CoV-2 multiorgan tropism in severely infected COVID-19 patients, it’s unclear if this occurs in healthy young individuals
Confirms the Japan biodistribution study, and what I’m seeing with my own two eyes.

Spike therapy injections have the full capability to eviscerate the cardiovascular system, cause hepatic failure, cause autonomic dysfunction, etc. This is a very sophisticated bioweapon IMHO.
There’s a preprint that also shows the suppression of JAK, multiple interleukins, and tnf-a. The consequence – cancer. Seeing that these mRNA injections suppress all of these at one time, it’s also an accelerator of stabilized cancers. Especially blood cancers.
It’s hard to imagine a more dangerous bioweapon that works so subtly.
The spike protein damages endothelial cells in blood vessels, suppresses the innate immune system, doesn’t even protect against the virus it claims to, can also encourage cancer development (see also innate immune suppression/destruction), can cross the Blood Brain Barrier to cause neurological dysfunction, and it specifically gets into the testes/ovaries to possibly cause reproductive issues.
It’s like a sci fi novel!!! Except that it’s actually happening inside of the CovIDIOTS hahaha who begged to be injected with the ‘experimental’ garbage…
But it wasn’t experimental .. Fauci made in many years ago — hahahahaha… for the purpose of Killing in the Name of…
There are people on this site who read this information … and then they go and put MORE of this stuff into their bodies…
They also read that the Fauci lied when he said the vaccines would stop you from getting covid … and they go and put MORE of this stuff into their bodies…
They also have access to that interview with the statistician from the UK who says the government is lying when they claim the vaccines stop you from getting severely ill … and they go and put MORE of this tuff into their bodies
They see that governments have slashed the time between shots in half … because they work so well… and they go and put MORE of this tuff into their bodies
They see the epic injuries and deaths caused by the injections … and they go and put MORE of this tuff into their bodies
There has to be something with these people… it goes beyond being a MOREON… it goes beyond StOOOPidity… is it brain damage? Were they born with something missing in their head (e.g. common sense)…
Seems a lot like the “Double Think” that Orwell described in 1984 really.
It is quite remarkable. If I would share these news with other people they would be ignored as evil fake news.
I had a look at the interview with the UK statician yesterday, that was quite a remarkable amount of mistreating of data he could prove. Stupidity or plain lying behind it? I will share the interview with a couple of actuaries I know, let’s see how they react.
You have to remember that at one time people threw their children into volcanoes, or cut their hearts out on altars.
We moderns think we are smarter than people who lived 2000 years ago, but this proves we aren’t.
The Scandinavians and Celts would expose children to test their fitness. They had limited resources and only the ones that were strong were worth raising.
One also wonders if the Scandinavians preferred male children like in most societies and that’s why vikings went after women from Ireland and Scotland, etc.
Jeez… if I had allowed myself to be injected and I read that… I’d be sick with worry that I’ve wrecked my body …
I’d be walking around in a daze muttering — what have I done… then I’d go mad and scream ‘out out damn spot!!!’ … before climbing on the roof with a rope and hanging myself…
It’s just too creepy thinking of what’s going on inside my organs… I couldn’t stand it.
norm – more boosters!!!
When i was at the vaccination centre i was talking to the nurse who administered the injection and she told me an interesting story of a guy who had been caught taking vaccinations for other people apparently he was up to his tenth when they caught him
Adonis … you need to think on your feet… you should have ran for the hills knowing that this is possible… or maybe they are just making it up having read about the guy in NZ who got 10?
Or maybe there no guy who got 10? Who knows… don’t ask me… I don’t have access to the files…
On the bright side – you are still alive… you have bought yourself some time …
On Saturday go to skid row… find a bum… bring him home for christmas dinner … give him some presents… get him wasted… then put him into a wheelbarrow and roll him down to the nearest 24 hour clinic…
Inform them that he’s your brother and he’s an anti-vaxxer .. that you got him drunk like a pig… because you wanted him to get the vax so bad…. see if they can give him your second shot + the booster… maybe you slip them a 50 and they’ll get the second booster in as well… explain to her – when he’s sober this will be impossible to Now is the Time to Strike (while the iron is Hot!).
Yes yes… the nurse will bleat — while the iron … is … Hot!! YES – YES both of you shout … while the iron is … HOT!!!! hahahaha
Once the deed is done you hug the nurse and dance round and round and sing Old Lang’s Eye… pinch her but… then turn the wheelbarrow around and sprint back to the Fiesta…
I am offering you a legitimate and ethical way out of the injections… but I cannot force you to drink … you need to take the bull by the horns and Make it Happen..
Skid Row… you know … where all the homeless people are with the low IQs… bottom dwellers….
Or you could ring norm?
It is the highest number of daily Covid-19 infections recorded in any Australian jurisdiction.
Hospitalisations for Covid have risen to 302, up from 284 in the previous reporting period.
There are 40 patients in ICU, the highest level it’s been at since 11 November.
Yesterday, NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard revealed close to 1,400 healthcare workers were furloughed due to Covid-19.
He reiterated his calls for people to get a vaccine booster shot, calling it a Christmas gift “to yourself and a gift to the community”.

In a stunning 46-page legal filing to the International Criminal Court on December 6, an intrepid attorney and seven applicants accused Anthony Fauci, Peter Daszak, Melinda Gates, William Gates III, and twelve others of numerous violations of the Nuremberg Code. These included various crimes against humanity and war crimes as defined by the Rome Statutes, Articles 6, 7, 8, 15, 21, and 53.

Seriously — after reading that who would boost boost boost? You’d really have to be stuuupid.. or brain damaged … or brain damaged because you did something stuuuupid – like boost hahahahaha
I really don’t get it — every time I see this nonsense I think – surely the MOREONS are going to see through this – 4 shots now in Israel — because 3 worked brilliantly!!! I keep thinking – they’ll say enough is enough… but nope … they can’t want for more boosters hahahahaha…
Jeeezuz… petrol fight anyone?
Wow! I am not sure how far this legal filing will get, but it is worth a try.
LOL They are off again. Mr Frost has gone, and Liz has stepped up. They had better hope that they EU sees the funny side of this nonsense. And they just could not wait until after Christmas.
> Liz Truss threatens to rip up Ulster deal if EU insists on ECJ judges getting final say in trade rows
Liz Truss warned Brussels that she will rip up the Brexit deal for Northern Ireland unless Eurocrats strip European judges of having the final say in future trade spats.
The Foreign Secretary said Britain’s position on the Northern Ireland protocol ‘has not changed’ after talks with European Commission vice-president Maros Sefcovic.
‘We need goods to flow freely between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, end the role of the ECJ [European Court of Justice] as the final arbiter of disputes between us, and resolve other issues,’ she said.
‘If this does not happen, we remain prepared to trigger Article 16 safeguards to deal with the very real problems faced in Northern Ireland.’

In the last few weeks, I have become increasingly convinced that Kremlin has unfortunately made a decision to invade Ukraine later this winter. While it is still possible for Putin to deescalate, I believe the likelihood is now quite low. Allow me to explain why:
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1473362460673515527.html
No surprise here. Russian’s A2/AD is excellent, but may not be able to counteract missiles 12 minutes away from Moscow. They have to do it. And Western elites for all intents and purposes appear to need a war, since many things are not going their way in the West. To their favor, such a war will probably see bombs come down on NATO military installations in the Baltics, Poland, and Romania as NATO is pushed back 1000 km. US military presence in central Asia will rapidly go to zero. There will be a ready made explanation for next winter’s long European blackouts which would have happened anyway.

> European gas prices shoot to new high as energy crunch worsens
‘Astounding’ rally comes after flows from key Russian pipeline stop and buyers rush to secure supplies / Gas prices climbed 20 per cent in the UK on Tuesday to a record 450 pence per therm
European gas prices have surged to new record highs as flows from a key Russian pipeline stopped, spooking buyers that have been scrambling to secure supplies during a deepening energy crunch.
Gas for delivery in Europe next month, which was already trading at record levels, jumped more than 20 per cent on Tuesday to close at €181 per megawatt hour.
After four months in which waning confidence in Russian supply had already pushed wholesale gas prices to their highest in history, the latest price rise threatens to drive up energy bills further for households and industry across the continent and add to inflationary pressures just as temperatures are forecast to drop.
In the UK, where more than two dozen energy suppliers have already gone bust this year, prices climbed 20 per cent on Tuesday to a record 450 pence per therm.
“These are astounding moves,” said Tom Marzec-Manser, head of gas analytics, at consultancy ICIS, adding that traders were racing to close positions ahead of Christmas with “so many risks on the air”.
Wholesale European gas prices are up more than 800 per cent in 2021, initially driven by resurgent global demand and competition with Asia when governments relaxed coronavirus restrictions earlier in the year.
The latest price rally came after flows through the Yamal-Europe pipeline, one of the three routes that Russia’s state-owned Gazprom uses to supply natural gas to north-west Europe, stopped as temperatures plunged in Moscow and Gazprom decided not to book export capacity.
…. More than a third of the EU’s gas supplies come from Russia, but this year inflows have fallen. Gazprom has declined to sell additional volumes to Europe beyond those covered by long-term contracts, while letting its own storage facilities in the continent drop to unusually low levels.
Gazprom lifted exports slightly in November and added some supplies to its own storage sites, but levels remain well below where they were in 2019 and 2020. Some traders fear that a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine, which hosts one of the other main pipelines into western Europe, could disrupt supplies even further over the winter.
Some European politicians and industry experts have accused Russia of withholding supply to press EU leaders to approve a controversial fourth pipeline, Nord Stream 2. Gazprom has dismissed the allegation and repeatedly said that it has met all of its contracts with European buyers….
Just Nuke It!
NZ has been designated third world target as US/EU’s stand in second for any nuclear dueling between US & RU

> Europe’s energy crisis is fast turning into a political and strategic disaster
All the fateful consequences of Angela Merkel’s decision to wind down Germany’s nuclear fleet after Fukushima in 2011 are before our eyes
Germany will shut down three nuclear plants forever next week, slashing clean and reliable baseload power in the middle of winter and during the worst energy crisis in Europe since the Second World War.
The three reactors generate 4.2 gigawatts of zero-carbon electricity between them. They are relatively young. Gundremmingen and Grohnde were both commissioned in 1984. Brokdorf in Schleswig-Holstein was state-of-the-art when it was opened in 1986. They could have continued for another twenty-five years or so until Germany’s green infrastructure was in place.
Olaf Scholz’s coalition government is going ahead with this long-planned closure despite pleas for a stay of execution from a chorus of global climate campaigners, including Bill Gates and Jim Hansen, the NASA scientist who first alerted Washington to global warming. Another three reactors will go at the end of 2022.
It is closing good plants just as Vladimir Putin prepares an invasion force on Ukraine’s border, and restricts flows of natural gas as a tool of strategic leverage.
The Kremlin calculus is by now obvious: Europe has manoeuvred itself into such a vulnerable position on energy security that it will have to accept Russia’s core demands, essentially the Finlandisation of Ukraine and certification of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline – on Mr Putin’s monopolistic terms, and in breach of EU energy law and the Treaties.
…. All the fateful consequences of Angela Merkel’s decision to wind down Germany’s nuclear fleet after Fukushima in 2011 are before our eyes: strategic paralysis as Russia attempts overthrow the post Cold War settlement; extended reliance on the dirtiest lignite coal at home; exorbitant energy prices; and the looming threat of blackouts this winter (industrial brown-outs have already begun).
…. The French have their own lesser version of this following the passage of the Green Growth Act six years ago, which stipulates that the country must cut reliance on nuclear power to 50pc of electricity use by 2025 (an odd definition of green). This has led to the premature closure of two reactors at Fessenheim, the final one last year.
Angela Merkel’s decision – allegedly after a bottle of Italian wine one evening with her husband, a quantum chemist – was taken before coherent alternatives were at hand. The political drift ever since has been a textbook case of ideological inertia in the face of changing facts.
…. Yet it is the whole political establishment of Western Europe that is responsible for laying the Continent at Mr Putin’s feet, and for wishful thinking on gas storage. Depleted inventories never recovered fully over the summer, both because Gazprom was holding back top-up flows, and because East Asia was gobbling up the world’s supply of liquefied natural gas.
China saw the danger and gave an order to secure LNG at any price as a matter of regime survival. Europe did not. Its inventories are now critically low.
…. The political class faces the invidious choice of keeping households warm or diverting scarce supplies to energy-intensive companies with subsidies to match. One or other must give.
The UK is of course in the same boat since it has subcontracted its storage to the EU to save a few pennies, which has in turn subcontracted the task to the Kremlin, via Gazprom-controlled sites on EU territory….
Thanks for your summary of some of the reasons why Europe is in the sad shape it is today, in terms of electricity.
I think that may be a misread of the situation. Here is an article which references a couple others to provide a more Russia-centric view:
https://thesaker.is/russias-ultimatum-to-the-west/
Interesting!
“Russia has (for the first time and finally!!) also sent a message to the people of the West. This message can be summarized like this: we don’t want war, but if you insist, we will oblige.
And, for the first time since 1991, Russia does have the objective means to achieve these goals.”
The USA and Europe don’t really have a lot of power now.
Saker and Orlov are Putin fanboys. Can’t trust anything they have to say about Russia.
The Interview below is on the Soviet long range strategy. It begins with an introduction in German, but quickly switches to English after the first couple of minutes.
War is Fun! Killing is Fun! Humans love war.
I like to watch.
This may very well be a correct analysis of the situation.
You can read all the articles of the world, but actually to undestand Russia position about that one needs to think what US would do if China or Russia put troops and missile basics in Messico at the border with Texas.
Where is mike and Anna?

I’m busy getting ready for Christmas. Attending concerts, playing Christmas music, shopping, etc.
Much better than reading the nonsense of Covidiots.
yes, we do know that you carry your papers so that you can pass through all of the checkpoints.
some would call this cooperation with fashcists.
You’r behind the times, David. Anna only needs to flash a smartphone or a microchipped hand at a sensor to enjoy unrestricted freedom of movement in the new Triple-Jabbed Utopia. However, it won’t be too long before celebrating Christmas will knock down Anna’s social credit score, and then the joke really will be on her.
and let’s not leave unnoticed that she has not denied her cooperation with this fashcist system.
I wish people would stop using f@shist when they actually mean “totalitarian”. As if the USSR or East Germany were any better regarding these types of measures. And the Five Eyes’ Governments have been softly totalitarian until now when they’ve found the need to take off the velvet gloves and put on the iron gauntlets.
okay totalitarian works for me.
I like the word “totalitarian” and I think we are seeing the mindset in evidence and some nations/societies are sliding towards it, but I don’t think any of the nations/societies pushing jabs and jab passports are quite there yet. We are still allowed to disagree and object and dissent on this issue, although not without paying a price.
Even the Germans and Austrians, who are being threatened with fines and prison from next February for failure to comply, are not being force-jabbed yet. So I would rate those countries as tyrannies or dictatorships, in that a small ruling group has taken over and is making and enforcing rules that trample over everybody’s fundamental human rights—albeit arguably with the consent of the majority. We might also call them authoritarian regimes.
According to Encyclopedia Britannica:
“In government, authoritarianism denotes any political system that concentrates power in the hands of a leader or a small elite that is not constitutionally responsible to the body of the people. Authoritarian leaders often exercise power arbitrarily and without regard to existing bodies of law, and they usually cannot be replaced by citizens choosing freely among various competitors in elections. The freedom to create opposition political parties or other alternative political groupings with which to compete for power with the ruling group is either limited or nonexistent in authoritarian regimes.”
We seem to be in the twilight of pluralism now. In the encroaching darkness, we can no longer see how far our right to make our own decisions and control our own bodies and our own movements stretches. If you haven’t completed your bucket list, it’s too late now.
authoritarianism, totalitarianism, f@scism, oh my!
and/or…
if we’re in a deepening global corporatocracy, then we need a word like corporatocracism.

How do we make this happen?
I am calling US Senators/Congressmen on a daily basis stating that the Russian invasion is imminent and that I can see them on the border of Ukraine…..
now I am heading to my bunker….see ya later
I rule that out for now for a very simple reason: a war of that magnitude would distract the attention of the herd from the covid danger at a time when there are still billions of morons to inject. Plus i believe such a double crisis (plandemic + nuclear war) would be too much sand for even the most capacious strategists’ truck (this to use a popular portuguese saying).
Hopefully our soldiers have gotten their booster, so they can stay safe in the trenches.

hahahahahha I guess 20k is the price you pay for ‘being cool’
key a Tesla today
Considering the car was about $100k new and requires a $22,500 battery after about 8 years of usage the price to look cool was a lot higher than that.
Not to mention the interiors aren’t even nice for a car that is 1/4 that price.
How much of that $100k was paid for by an EU virtue signaling government tax subsidy/rebate or outright grant?
It’s similar to the injections… why would anyone buy a car that can needs to be refuelled overnight after a few hundred km of driving… what is wrong with these people???????
Israel is officially starting with the fourth dose.
‘Israel’s COVID team recommends fourth shot for elderly and medical workers.
Israel was the first in the world to provide a third shot and will lead in giving a fourth shot too, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett noted.’
They have just given the third dose in September..
My impression is that they are facing a problem of ADE or OAS in vaccinated people, but of course I’m not an expert about it.
They are so in hurry that they cannot wait the new vaccine for Omicron that it seems to be ready in March..
https://www.jpost.com/health-and-wellness/coronavirus/article-689418
How many guesses that this won’t really work either?
If you can make believe you are a CovIDIOT… it will work… well maybe not 4.. but definitely by the 5th.
A friend just sent me:
“The third dose increases immunity, so
after the fourth dose you are protected.
Once 90% of the population receives the
fifth dose, the restrictions can be relaxed
as the sixth dose stops the virus from
spreading. I am calm and believe that the
seventh dose will solve our problems and
we have no reason to fear the eight dose.
The clinical phase of the ninth dose confirms
that the antibodies remain stable after the
tenth dose. The eleventh dose guarantees
that no new mutations will develop, so there
is no longer any reason to criticize the idea
of a twelfth dose.”
I didn’t know you were friends with norm…
Did he mention anything about why they are vaccinating healthy children????
I’m not completely sure, but isn’t there some trend in your line of reasoning?

A recent study by Imperial College London says there is no evidence Omicron is milder than Delta, but just how severe it is may not be known until mid-January, Imperial College researcher Gary McLean says.
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/458424/omicron-spreads-faster-than-delta-but-definitive-data-on-severity-is-a-waiting-game-researcher
FEAR FEAR FEAR
The severity depends on whether you have been vaccinated with the Wuhan version of the virus first. If not, it is not very severe. If you have been vaccinated, it is more severe.
Where’s the evidence for that?
Many places are starting to show the pattern:

From the Naked Emperor link above:
“So, what does the data from the UK tell us today. Firstly, those who have been infected with COVID-19 and become reinfected are more likely to test positive for an infection compatible with the Omicron variant, compared with those who test positive with their first infections. More shockingly, when you delve into the data itself, THE MORE YOU VACCINATE, the more likely you are to get Omicron.
Look at the table above. As the vaccination status increases, the likelihood of testing positive with Omicron increases from 1.57 in one dose individuals, to 2.26 in two dosed and 4.45 in 3 dosed. Due to the small dataset, this is only a modelled likelihood of testing positive with Omicron. This also means the upper and lower confidence intervals are pretty big. However, the upper confidence interval for boosted individuals is 17.03, which is extremely high.”
Given that Omicron is supposed to be so infectious that everybody is bound to encounter it, If these figures hold water from now on, we could witnessed the spectacle of millions of boosted individuals not being well enough to crawl to the clinic for their next shot.
McCullough says you can’t be reinfected … I am thinking that’s wrong… unless he meant to say only if you are not injected

Give him a break, please. Hasn’t he got enough to cope with?
Poor Adonis has two more: the second shot and then the “booster.” The “booster” will be required soon enough; either employers will require them of their own volition (my employer is about to announce this) or the CDC will change the definition of “fully vaccinated” to include a “booster.”
Two useful mantras:
“I will never be ‘fully vaccinated’ against COVID-19.”
“The only winning move is not to play.”
The thing is… there is no stopping … so unless you are ok with the forever boosters … it’s best not to start…. can’t earn if your body is ruined.. I’m seeing that first hand

Adonis was courageous enough to come out and seek advice and heard many opinions – he made a difficult decision because he was forced by a mandate to do something he wouldnt have otherwise done if he didnt feel any other choice to take care of his family
The system has abused him – he doesnt need it from us and would ask Gail to delete any comment construed as such
But constructive comments like hiring a homeless person (ideally a drug addicted me nta lly re t ard ed homeless person who was thrown out of the house by his wife because he was trying to make it with their daughter.. and beat the wife when she protested) to take the second shot and the boosters — should be allowed…
I am invoking the Machiavelli Principal… which I invented and interpret as… I have to fight Hulk Hogan … we circle each other — he laughs at me knowing he can crush me… he turns his back to acknowledge the roaring crowd believing I would not dare to attack him (and that I am too feeble to do any harm)…
I pull out a knife with a 10″ blade and thrust it into his back right to the hilt… there’s a momentary look of surprise on his face as he turns… and just before he slumps to the ground dead … he moans.. a knife… a knife… that’s not fair.
Yes I say … a knife… f789 you bit ch.
Whatever it takes … to avoid the jabs… be creative….
More like a wish to put food on the table for his family.

Adonis, if you decided to play such Russian roulette with your health, it was certainly because you felt you had no choice. We live in unique times and are forced to make hard choices, between bad and worse. But I wonder what is worse than,not being suicidal, putting our health at serious risk? Poverty? Is poverty worse than the high risk of a disabling and possibly fatal disease? That’s a choice we will probably all be faced with, sooner or later (For me I decided it long ago: no totalitarian jab ever, rather starve to death.)
All the best.
JMS,
thanks for the wise words.
I agree with you completely.
After living “the american dream” for more than a decade, I had decided some time ago that it’s not for me. I was already following my exit plan when covid came along, so staying unfoxed was a no brainer.
I think lots of people really cannot imagine an alternative to 60 hours workweeks followed by an early grave so subconsciously they choose suicide by pfizer?
The alternative might be going on the street…..
You may avoid caffeine and not put a strain on your heart for a period ..
Just read this tweet
https://mobile.twitter.com/pfizer/status/1331335199502774272?lang=en
Read the posts from those with side effects and having issues!
I’m a coffee drinker and will stop with the caffeine.
Had my second jab on Nov 11th.
Sometimes I can feel my Heart, nothing major yet and seemed more tired.
I don’t know…have an appointment with my Primary Care beginning next month.
He urged me to get the jab. So no use suggest anything wrong due to it.
Monitor it for now.
Probably just getting old
Another option if forced into the jab:
hey doc – I heard lots of people are getting damaged from the jab
nah – it’s rare….
oh ya… are you sure
ya sure
ok – as long as you are sure… cuz I followed your kids to ___ school today … it’s a real nice school… are you really… really sure????
Also from me only the very best wishes. It is a shame to be forced to have this vaccination.
YET ANOTHER crucial global market has gone from glut to shortage at breakneck speed. Last September in Europe it cost €119 ($139) to buy enough gas to heat the average home for a year and the continent’s gas-storage facilities were brimming. Today it costs €738 and stocks are scarce. Even America, which has an abundance of shale gas, has seen prices more than double—albeit from a much lower level—and could see further increases if its winter is a cold one.
something wrong with that number more like $3000 per year
Not sure if anyone’s actually interested in on-the-ground information from South Africa – as opposed to news filtered through western media filters (highly distorted, needless to say) – but locally NO changes (that means; ‘niks’, ‘geen’, nada, zero!, nothing, nil, etc) have been made to current lock-down and/or confinement measures which are presently on the lowest level possible because of ‘Omicron’, while the rest of the world (and a lot of commentators here) seem to be all worked up about it.
For interest sake, I work wit clients on a daily basis in Europe from S.A. by conference call and I’m daily confronted by the ‘crisis’ here regarding this new variant, which I am of course unaware of in reality, but do you think any of these clients want to believe me? What they see on TV is the truth and that’s it. People believe what they want to is something I learned a long time ago, but it’s just being reconfirmed, again.
Few vaccinated seems to lead to many fewer problems with the virus.
norm prefers msm … get with his program!!!
Note – vaxxed are the problem:

Thanks, good to have news direct from SA.
Someone linkd to substack for this fellow because of his systems dynamics /complexity supply chain articles I think. Well also applying himself to Covid – here proposes idea of multivarient swarm appears independent of Harvard2bighouses’ similar thinking:
https://worldedge.substack.com/p/plagued-by-design
He is not a fan of the vaccines as designed, but also has a warning about breakthrough infections
https://worldedge.substack.com/p/plagued-by-design-ii
“For months I said breakthrough infections are silent killers. At the end of this we will see who was right, even if they hide the data as they are doing right now.”
Shows reference claiming increase in under 65 age group of 233% of death within 12 months as a lingering result of a surviving severe Covid19 infection. (Easy to get large % increase in a small absolute number – normal mortality rates for <65 are well below "average" for overall population)
While this adds a little on benefits side for justifying vaccinating under 65yo – seems to me makes much more imperative to go to therapeutics/prophylactics to prevent or diminish severity of infection. Also calls for greater attention to lingering long covid therapies – some of same drugs "unapproved" for primary infection are anecdotally useful in this regard also.
Also has another article advocating very strongly against high carb diet and believes major factor in immune suppression wrt defending against Covid
In Montreal, Mayor Valerie Plante reintroduced a state of emergency as the number of active COVID-19 cases soared to over 8,000 in the city.

hahahaaha
Omicron has largely overtaken the rising wave of infections in the province, even for those vaccinated with both COVID-19 shots. In Ontario, it’s estimated Omicron made up about 88 per cent of cases as of Tuesday.
In response to the variant threat, Ontario and Alberta are speeding up their booster doses for all adults.
Yes cried the CovIDIOTS … give us more of the same failed garbage… for we are Stuuuupid MOREONS… we have hunks of semi live grey rotting meat for brains… we are barnyard animals…
BTW – I am told the one medical clinic in town makes the unvaxxed wait outside hahahaaha…
One of my mates has a tonic for that — you wanna make my life inconvenient … well here’s what he did when told he could not come into pay for a takeaway… he went out and moved his car 200m away … then the lady came out to give him the food and he tooted his horn and shouted ‘its me – I’m over here’ hahahahaha F789 you B-itch!!!
So with the clinic I recommend telling them to call when Mengele is ready for them — then take your sweet assed time walking from the lot (where you have been relaxing listening to music or perhaps a book)… then say ‘oh my sorry it took so long… I had to park so far away’…
And who wants to sit in a room full of Diseased Masked CovIDIOTS who are shivering with fear!
Fast Eddy demands more CovIDIOT suffering stories…. Tim? Michael? Fuel the shadenfroid fire!!!!
Hahaha… someone from BC was just a few weeks ago telling me how it was all returning to normal blah blah blah … and that surely now I’d get the vaccine ‘to be able to travel’
hahahahaha… how many f789ing times do I need to tell these MOREONS .. that we are NEVER returning to normal… before they say hey — I think you are right…
MORE. ONS. MORE Stuuuupid. MORE idiocy… More more more MORE …

Premier Doug Ford can’t get into his home due to protesters, spokesperson says
The Ontario premier’s spokesperson says Doug Ford and his family haven’t been able to get into their house for most of the weekend or Monday due to anti-vaccine protesters outside their home.
Ivana Yelich, director of media relations for Ford, put out a tweet making the claim late on Monday.
Her tweet was in response to another tweet from an account called “Ont. Liberal Party War Room.”
The account had posted a TikTok video in which a woman can be seen inside a car pointing a cellphone camera towards a man in the driver’s seat who asks the premier, “Heading to the cottage?”
