I plan to write a new post in a few days. For now, I will just leave an open thread.
I hope everyone has happy holidays of whatever type you celebrate. This is a good time to be with family and friends.

Insurance CEO says deaths up 40% among working age people, and it’s not just COVID
The head of OneAmerica insurance said the death rate is up a stunning 40% from pre-pandemic levels among working-age people.
“We are seeing, right now, the highest death rates we have seen in the history of this business – not just at OneAmerica,” the company’s CEO Scott Davison said during an online news conference this week. “The data is consistent across every player in that business.”
OneAmerica is a $100 billion insurance company that has had its headquarters in Indianapolis since 1877. The company has approximately 2,400 employees and sells life insurance, including group life insurance to employers in the state.
Davison said the increase in deaths represents “huge, huge numbers,” and that’s it’s not elderly people who are dying, but “primarily working-age people 18 to 64” who are the employees of companies that have group life insurance plans through OneAmerica.
“And what we saw just in third quarter, we’re seeing it continue into fourth quarter, is that death rates are up 40% over what they were pre-pandemic,” he said.
“Just to give you an idea of how bad that is, a three-sigma or a one-in-200-year catastrophe would be 10% increase over pre-pandemic,” he said. “So 40% is just unheard of.”

“Fuellmich: It’s a coordinated effort or else they wouldn’t do it in a synchronized way, first by BioNTech Pfizer, then Moderna, then Jensen. They’re doing it in a highly co-ordinated way so they will not interfere with each other. Each one of them is doing their own experiments within an experiment. All of the pharmaceutical industry knows it. They all want to be part of it, including the Paul Ehrlich Institute, so it’s just a matter of time until all the others join in and make it even worse because it is easy to extort those already committing the crimes, so that others will be admitted into this mass serial killing.”
“Fuellmich: This makes it easy for any lawyer in this world to show intent. It is inescapable – from these graphs, you can show intent. They are deliberately using different dosages, co-ordinated with each other so that they won’t interfere with each other in order to try and find out what kills the best or maims the best.”

Jessica Rose suggests that Reiner is being a little optimistic in this instance: the original data on lots and batches being too incomplete, corrupted and unreliable to make a really firm scientific case, although she suspects that something of the kind is possible and has no doubt as to the dangers of the pseudo-vaxxes. The various reporting systems are so constructed as to obscure more than they reveal.
I don’t really believe this article.
Hanlon’s razor is an adage or rule of thumb that states “never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”
Things go wrong in processing. This provides a natural way that some vaccine batches can turn out very badly.
And equally, a ‘production fault’ can be used later as cover for experimentation and deliberate variation in vaccine contents.
Unfortunately, we are now at the stage of having to assume both a lack of integrity and also complete indifference to any harm caused, on the part of Big Pharma, and the regulators.
However it is best to be cautious regarding all hypotheses, even when we know that we are dealing with liars and frauds.
So far, an ‘experiment within an experiment’ while not implausible is unproven, and perhaps may never be.
Prior to 2020, the pharmaceutical industry, including vaccines, has been very tightly controlled in terms of manufacture. There is no precedent in the industry for anything near this level of stupidity, incompetence, or accident. If we were to accept it was stupidity, then the jab manufacturers would have quickly realized there were no consequences for their mistakes. And if they knew that, why would they spend money to try to produce their gene therapies? They could put anything in the vials they wanted.
Hanlon’s razor also reflects an inherent bias: that somehow stupidity is more common than malice. In my experience, especially in infectious disease epidemiology, both stupidity and malice (conscious complicity with bad scientific practice) are common, with malice possibly more so. What basis is there to suspect stupidity is more common than malice? That assumption seems to me to be at odds with most human experience. I think Hanlon’s razor ultimately is a psychological defense for people who don’t want to consider that others — especially powerful others and the government — could have ill intent.
Vaccine Injured Pilot Reveals: “There Are Pilots That Are Going To Work With Crushing Chest Pains”
American pilot Greg Pearson, who became injured after receiving the COVID vaccine, recently revealed a shocking truth in a interview with Real America’s Voice.
Pearson said that ‘vaccinated pilots are a flight risk’ as some are going to work with “crushing pains in their chests and heads.”
His revelation comes after US Army whistleblower Theresa Long testified late last year that she had to ground three out of three pilots in one morning due to vaccine injuries.
Pearson got the COVID shot against his better judgment because of an employer mandate. He was forced to go to the emergency room shortly after as his heart began pounding ‘out of his chest’.
“I went to the ER where they quickly hooked me up to EKG IVs, did blood work quickly and determined that I was in atrial fibrillation. It’s the major cause of stroke.”
I could have stroked out at 100 feet while trying to land an airplane. I could have just pushed down on that stick before the person next to me could do anything. [Then] it’s all over for a lot of people.”
What Pearson then revealed was truly shocking, saying that he knows of several active pilots who are injured by the jab but stay quiet out of fear of losing their jobs:
“There’s a number of pilots out there who are fearful to come forward and speak… They are fearful of retribution.
There are guys that are going to work with crushing pains in their chests and their heads.
They’re scared that they’re going to lose their careers.”
https://thecovidworld.com/vaccine-injured-pilot-reveals-there-are-pilots-that-are-going-to-work-with-crushing-chest-pains/
It gets even better. Under current FAA regulations, “vaccinated” pilots shouldn’t be receiving their medical certificates, clearing them to fly:
“Do Not Issue. AMEs should not issue airmen medical certificates to applicants who are using these classes of medications or medications:
“FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved less than 12 months ago. The FAA generally requires at least one-year of post-marketing experience with a new drug before consideration for aeromedical certification purposes. This observation period allows time for uncommon, but aeromedically significant, adverse effects to manifest themselves. Contact either your Regional Flight Surgeon or AMCD for guidance on specific applicants or to request consideration for a particular medication.“

From the article:
For those who want the tl;dr version of the Joe Rogan/Dr. Robert Malone podcast interview, this was posted on Zero Hedge.
——————————————————————————————————————————
Malone, an expert in mRNA vaccine technologies who trained at UC Davis, UCSD and the Salk Institute, was suspended by Twitter with no explanation on Thursday. It appears he’s preparing to sue, as Alex Berenson is currently doing.
Dr. Malone discusses his suspension from both LinkedIn and Twitter for the crime of promoting “vaccine hesitancy.”
He argues that if the risks are not discussed, informed consent is not possible.

Twitter is in no position to judge Dr. Malone. If he, as inventor of mRNA vaccine technology, is concerned, we should all be. If Big Tech and Big Pharma have another perspective, they’re free to voice it. But censorship of whistleblowing experts must not stand. #RestoreMaloneNow https://t.co/XcjUmSqNIC

The suspension came after Malone was vilified by a hit piece in The Atlantic which was funded by Facebook and Johnson & Johnson.
“Three days before this thing came out, the journalist – he previously publishes on ‘woke’ issues on the topic of higher education. He’s clearly hired. And they explicitly say the article was funded by the Robert Boyd Johnson foundation and the Zuckerberg-Chan initiative.
…
He was totally obsessed. ‘Robert, why are you saying these things? You must have some financial incentive. There must be some reason you’re doing this’ – and I told him repeatedly, ‘because it’s the right thing to do.’
I think I’m the only one who has been involved deeply in the development of this tech, that doesn’t have a financial stake in it. For me, the reason is, because what’s happening is not right. It’s destroying my profession. It’s destroying the practice of medicine worldwide … I’m a vaccinologist. I spent 30 years developing vaccines. A stupid amount of education learning how to do it, and what the rules are. And for me, I’m personally offended watching my discipline get destroyed for no good reason at all except, apparently, financial incentives, and – I dunno – political ass-covering?” -Robert Malone
Dr. Robert Malone provides Joe Rogan the details behind the Atlantic attack article that Facebook and Johnson & Johnson funded.

“Our government is out of control on this,” Malone continues. “And they are lawless. They completely disregard bioethics. They completely disregard the federal common-rule. They have broken all the rules that I know of, that I’ve been trained for years and years and years. These mandates of an experimental vaccines are explicitly illegal. They are explicitly inconsistent with the Nuremberg code. They are explicitly inconsistent with the Belmont report. They are flat out illegal, and they don’t care.”

Malone then explained to Rogan how the Uttar Pradesh province in India crushed Covid with early treatment that included ivermectin, however he claims that the Biden administration met with Modi and a ‘decision was made not to disclose the contents of the treatment.’

They then went deeper into the topic of ivermectin and early interventions in general. According to Malone, “There are good modeling studies, that show a half a million excess deaths have happened in the US, through the intentional blockade of early COVID treatment by the US Government.”

They then discussed the case of a 14-year-old girl who was injured by the vaccine, yet the incident was reported as a stomach ache.
“This young woman who was listed as having a stomach ache, when in fact what she had was a seizure. And she’s now wheelchair-bound with a nasal-gastric tube. One of 1,000 subjects.”

Towards the end of the interview, Malone gets even deeper – suggesting that people are living through a mass formation psychosis – drawing parallels to 1920s and 1930s Germany, where “they had a highly intelligent, highly educated population, and they went barking mad.”

Lots of sad stories. The thing that stands out for me is this part:
Why doesn’t he have a financial interest if he has patents on the tech?
I imagine probably expired – think he did the research at Salk & private firm in late ’80s & early ’90s – derivative patents on current products stop paying royalties when predecessor lapses. That is why big Pharma reformulates & combines drugs when go off patent – they can patent the “new & improved” & sell at high $ while bully/prevent or decline to produce “generic” off-patent.
or he sold/assigned to his private employer or some other firm or perhaps a pharma company sponsored the research…as an employee of a firm he may not have had any financial rights other than his salary and he is simply named on the patent – counts as an academic “publication”. Most institutions now take the lion’s share of patent proceeds.
University of Floida learned via Gatoraid – the professor that developed back in 70’s got most of the proceeds – by the mid ot late 90s when I left there all patents applied for by professors or graduate students/researchers underwent prior review by administration & if there was any revenue potential the University retained rights to majority of revenue.

How much longer will NFL teams, EPL clubs…continue to defy gravity?
perhaps discretionary sectors will follow the pattern of countries within the Core or the Periphery.
NFL EPL are in the sports Core.
WNBA MLS beach volleyball etc these could be proverbial canaries in coalmines.
something to watch for, if the smaller weaker leagues begin to collapse in the next few years.
the net decline of energy resources is slow enough (for now!) that the big ones NFL EPL etc should be hanging on through this decade perhaps a bit longer.
Yes, plus NFL/EPL are global brands like Apple or Nike….they might hold their ground, even as other circuses fade away….
I am curious how generational change will interact with resource depletion…..
Fauci/Gates/Powell/Biden/Pelosi…NFL…NBA…..EPL….rock music….
Are we approaching some kind of socio-cultural seneca cliff?…to go along with the energy seneca cliff?
Good question. It is clear that for some continental big names (Juventus, Inter, Milan, Barcelona) we are already in the new era. The EPL is surviving longer because London is the world’s most important money laundering center, and football was always about money laundering, so having an EPL team is a stronger laundering system.
Interesting!
Before it was just about recycling, with several power groups participating, mafia and industrialists in the continent. Eventually it became about financial shenanigans, marking players to market for tax purposes and other tricks. With the economy going down, teams backed by oil or the car industry (like Inter and Juve) will find themselves no longer being big. To be big today, you either have a Russian oligarch at the helm (they are recyclers extraordinaires), or some sheiks looking to avoid the fate of Bin Salman’s cousins.

Chinese property debt repayment problems will be terrible for China. Many people in China have their savings locked up in unoccupied condominiums. Not only do the developers have problems, but the prices of condominiums may come down from the very high levels, meaning that people’s savings will fall.

Whistleblower warns baffling illness affects growing number of young adults in Canadian province
Several new cases in New Brunswick involve caretakers of those afflicted, suggesting a possible environmental trigger
A whistleblower in the Canadian province of New Brunswick has warned that a progressive neurological illness that has baffled experts for more than two years appears to be affecting a growing number of young people and causing swift cognitive decline among some of the afflicted.
Speaking to the Guardian, an employee with Vitalité Health Network, one of the province’s two health authorities, said that suspected cases are growing in number and that young adults with no prior health triggers are developing a catalog of troubling symptoms, including rapid weight loss, insomnia, hallucinations, difficulty thinking and limited mobility.
The official number of cases under investigation, 48, remains unchanged since it was first announced in early spring 2021. But multiple sources say the cluster could now be as many as 150 people, with a backlog of cases involving young people still requiring further assessment.

Official German Government data suggests the Fully Vaccinated will develop Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome by the end of January 2022
https://dailyexpose.uk/2022/01/02/german-gov-data-suggests-fully-vaccinated-developing-ade/
The article says,
“German Government Data for the alleged Omicron variant of Covid-19, suggests that most of the “fully vaccinated” will have full blown Covid-19 vaccine induced acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) by the end of January 2022, after confirming that the immune systems of the fully vaccinated have already degraded to an average of minus 87%.”
I think I would be more cautious in my assessment of the situation.
The vaccinated could be more vulnerable to COVID variations, but not to other diseases. Or the COVID variations could be becoming so mild that becoming more vulnerable to them may not matter much.

Totally forgot about the anti-viral action of Willard Water.
“Ranchers claim that cattle who receive Catalyst Altered Water in their drinking water are less fretful, utilize their feed better, and suffer from less illness. A kennel specializing in racing greyhounds reported a stubborn virus was cleared up using the water, putting their dogs back in the winner’s circle, and that aggressive dogs settled down and stopped getting into fights after receiving the water.”
Aqua Vitae: The Story of Dr. John W. Willard and his Breakthrough Discovery: Catalyst Altered Water by Roy M. Jacobsen (1987; page 3)
60 Minutes did a show in 1980 on Willard Water’s interesting properties.
Check out the mans burned legs at 4:22 It was a welding accident that ignited his polyester coveralls which melted onto his inner thighs.
The 60 Minutes crew went back 3-months later to see them healed.
triple bang for your buck if Willard Water is anti-viral on top of everything else it does
A must-have for the bug-out bag. At one ounce of concentrate to one gallon of water dilution, it’s a lightweight addition.
Non sarcastic question: Where do you go when you bug out? Seems one is closer to being a refugee; you are not welcome on my farm, so keep on bugging.
Dennis L.
Indeed, having a “bug out bag” is the most extreme form of false security and bad advice one can have short of your house burning down, otherwise giving one the impression that he can escape what awaits. The worst situation one can ever be in is that of a refugee.
Forver Autumn. Beautifully sung by Justin Hayward, narrated by Richard Burton, Written by Jeff Wane.
“This was no disciplined march. This was a stampede. Six million people, unarmed and provisioned, driving headlong. It was the beginning of the rout of civilization. The massacre of mankind.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=re3Fydx17Gg @05:38
Oh, that’s ok, fair question; the way I view a bug-out bag is it’s in your vehicle mostly, useful for whatever, whenever, wherever. It’s not really about a destination, so bug-out is probably not the best term for it, connoting as it does leaving somewhere. Now, it might travel with me for various reasons to a neighbor’s, or to a parcel of land to camp on in an emergency, or to a shelter or simply be of assistance to someone broken down along the road. The potential is all of those circumstances and more. It’s just planning ahead; a useful collection of non-perishable items. Mine weighs over 50 pounds and has shoulder straps, but it’s easier to carry it with a sturdy pole and two guys. I’m always picking up small items to add to it. Worth a last minute grab if something like a Boulder situation happens, although here it’s more tornado danger occasionally.
per the Willard Water aspect of the thread: I’d used it on the burns of friends and families a few times, second-degree and sunburns. But it wasn’t until I resolved a nasty third-degree burn on myself that I really understood why I had wanted to keep it close at hand over the many years since first encountering it circa 1990. It was always in my truck in a spray bottle. Perfect to have on hand to relieve someone’s pain under any circumstances. Doc Willard was reported to have experimented on this aspect himself using a soldering-iron to induce the burn. I didn’t know Doc, but I know his first distributor, who confirmed that legendary tale.
Can you summarize how you make this water? Does mineral water and its ions have some of the properties of this thing?
Sorry for bustin’ your balls, HC. I know what you meant and you’re right. Of course a travel bag is probably a good idea if you are going on a long trip, expecially if in freezing weather, etc. But even Willard Water probably best be kept at home.
No problem man, and I agree on refugees and false hope. Great video composition and song to accentuate the point. It’s a first for me hearing Justin Hayward sing.
Only 10% of those with asylum status in UK are unemployed, which is more than twice the level of those who come here for other reasons, but it is still not that high. Unemployment is at historically low levels in UK and the job market continues to expand. The problem now is more one of labour shortages.

Boris may be on his way out. The latest survey shows the Tories way behind in the traditionally Labour voting ‘red wall’ seats that they took at the last general election and which they would likely need to retain to survive the next.
Labour is still projected to need SNP support to form a government, which would entail an independence referendum in Scotland. Polls likely will change, but the maybe 55 SNP seats provide quite a wide ‘window’ for that scenario to play out.
It does not seem to be particularly clear how any new Tory leader could change course.

> Boris Johnson enters the New Year 16 points behind Labour in Red Wall seats he needs to retain to win the next election, bombshell poll reveals
Boris Johnson enters the New Year 16 points behind Labour in a bombshell Mail on Sunday poll of the seats he needs to retain to win the next Election.
The Deltapoll survey of the 57 constituencies the Conservatives gained in the 2019 General Election puts Labour on 49 per cent and the Conservatives on just 33 per cent.
The poll also puts Sir Keir Starmer’s party ahead in national voting intention, with Labour on 40 per cent and the Tories on 35 per cent.
If the results were repeated in a General Election it could lead to the loss of more than 100 Tory seats – enough to put Sir Keir in No10, although without a clear majority.
The findings come as Tory backbenchers are increasingly discussing whether to force a leadership challenge by sending letters calling for a vote to Sir Graham Brady, the chairman of the Conservatives’ backbench 1922 Committee.

In medicine, the catch word was “meaningful use” for an MD (soldier on the battle line) who had to follow bureaucratic guidelines to justify a medical decision based on a bean counter’s determination whether it was cost effective treatment. The mantra: “ Cutting costs and quality care.” We’re going to cut costs and yet provide quality care.”
So that administrators, corporates and shareholders can rake in obscene profits at public expense.
In reality: “Meaningless use.”

I am not sure that you understand what is going on, and none of that seems to hit the mark.
The British state was the agent in those continental wars. The working classes, the bulk of the population, had no votes in those days. Their role was to fight in those wars, not to decide on them.
The British state was, and still is, a geopolitical capitalist state that pursues its financial interests, both in the metropole and through its geopolitical strategies.
The domestic population was, and remains, ordered to the agency of the British state, and their ‘patriotism’ facilitates that, it does not, generally speaking, impede it.
The British state does very well out of its labour expansion, and indeed it entirely relies on it to grow GDP, to accumulate capital and to maintain the capitalist system, especially in view of the collapse in productivity growth.
British society is a capitalist society, it is not an ‘ethno’ society in the way that you seem to imagine. Its politics reflect that.
On the one hand, you see the ethnic British (rather than the British state) as the downfall of the continent, and on the other you want to preserve them. Only you can vouch for the coherence of your aspirations.
Other of your statements smack of plain nonsense.
Your post would be illegal in UK, especially in so far as it advocates domestic terrorism. As such it does not really form a part of the societal dialogue.
I am not sure what you are trying to achieve with that post, or why, but it does not seem to be particularly well thought out. The ‘far right’ generally does not seem to understand what is going on, and those sort of outbursts are liable simply to get people arrested.
Bravo, Mirror.
I can imagine meeting Kulm while riding a train in the days of the Raj in North West Frontier Province. He would have been allowed to freely make such outbursts in those days without fear of anything worse than a good thrashing by anybody he offended, and in any case nobody would have taken him seriously because he was only a foreigner. Happy days, Sahib.
From Paddy Docherty Historian Of Empire:
In North West Frontier, the characters are actually fleeing ‘British’ territory – they are escaping part of the British Empire over which control has been lost. This may not be intentionally symbolic on the part of the filmmakers since it goes completely unremarked and unexamined. This simple fact, however, seems very revealing at a time when decolonisation was beginning in earnest.
Although the film abounds with simplistic tropes and imperial certainties, these are also challenged. Lady Windham at one point voices the clumsy kind of arrogance that scriptwriters typically give colonial ladies: “half the world mocks us, and half the world is only civilised because we have made it so”. This statement is, however, countered by Van Leyden, who also later tells Lady Windham that he is not anti-British, “I merely sympathise with small minorities fighting the aggression of big nations…”

thanks, we like his style. After brutalizing my wife and mother-in-law yesterday with that excruciatingly boring Malone-Rogan video on suggestion of a friend, we need a fresh start.
Yes, Cole’s communication style is the antithesis of Malone’s….
Malone’s better in print, he can be quite concise and punchy then.
On the on hand we have the constant repetition of simple brain-washing mantras by the Cabal – ‘Safe and Effective’, etc; and on the other highly intelligent, informative, but far too long discussions by the good guys.
The side of truth needs to learn some techniques from the behavioural scientists and propagandists.
Yes, the “good” guys are still learning the ropes….they need 3 chords and the truth…not prog rock opera….
Malone has improved a lot….he needs an interviewer to help him….set a tempo…phrase the questions aptly…interject to get him back on track….
It’s been fascinating to watch….all these boffins…. attempting….on the fly…to distil complexity down…. into simpler takeaways for the everyman….

Hi All, you should find a way to follow this interview or ask someone to translate it.
It is an interview of the famous Italian scientist Joseph Tritto, president of the World Academy of Biomedical Technologies.
In this interview he explains various arguments of the pandemic and the current vaccines.
He talks as an insider of that business and he says he knows many aspects from the inside and also many scientists involved in that sector who are the direct actors.
As a short summary:
it has been released a bio-weapon and it is not clear who did it.
The bio-weapon comes from Whuan thanks to the long interaction through the years of various scientists from various Countries (and the Whuan lab has been developed thanks to the contribute of various Countries).
It exists also a ‘mirror’ Chinese lab in Harbin.
But also other labs make similar research in other Countries such as US and others.
The purpose is to create a bio-weapon and the relative antidote.
The virus went out before the antidote was correctly created (and it seems it came out a little bit early).
But the objective may be: to destroy the economies.
The problem of this pandemic is that the world followed the way the army wanted to react to a bio-weapon, but with some antidotes not yet ready or better with antidotes made with technology that is not fully managed and known by scientists.
Some of this technology is known, such as the fact that immunization coverage made by mRNA so-called vaccines degrades quickly and that the human immune system is weakened by these so-called vaccines (they are actually antidotes, not working well) and it is not clear when the immune system will come back to its normal function after this ‘treatment’ (of course also not clear what will happen in the mid-long terms).
That’s why ‘vaccinated’ people suffer Covid easily (in comparison to not vaccinated) after the coverage is decreased and that’s why vaccinated continuously need boosters.
The problem with this virus is that it quickly develops being a chimera virus which changes and can fuse itself with other viruses.
Omicron is now probably fused with an influenza virus and it was expected to arrive late (in may 2022), bio-weapon scientists didn’t expect such an early arrival of Omicron.
To solve the danger of this virus we should tackle the mechanism of the enzyme called ‘furina’ which is also the distinctive feature that clarifies that the virus is man-made.
I guess that no black helicopters will arrive here, because the interview is fully available to the world and you can find here.
The interview contains also other very interesting explanations and I warmly suggest you to find a way to listen to it:
So omicron is another lab-made virus. I am afraid we will need a translation.
There are services that first transcribe spoken word in one language; then translate it into another language. I am afraid we need something like this.
“They were still wearing their masks underneath (their chin). They were belligerent. I was staring daggers that usually works with my sons, not so much with the Russian junior hockey team,” Scherf said.

Question:
Robert Malone says on Rogan he does not get any cash from the the MRNA tech that is being used to inject the CovIDIOTS.
He says he has patents for the tech.
Why is he not receiving any cash?
we heard about 5 major glitches in the matrix there
one being, Malone said he knew about the Chinese using HCQ as early as anyone in the world, but as if he hadn’t just said that, (plus he buys in to people dropping in the streets over there) he’d have us believe that a world-traveled guy like himself, with connections coming out the wazzoo, he couldn’t get his hands on HCQ when he came down with a life-threatening case? Nah, that don’t add up. Knows all about Zelenko too, but couldn’t get his hands on HCQ. Bull….

Indonesia Bans Coal Export as Widespread Blackout Risk Grows
Jakarta. The government has prohibited coal exports in January, citing worries that insufficient supply at domestic power plants could result in widespread blackouts, a senior energy ministry official said on Saturday.
Indonesia relied on the fossil fuel for its power generation, with around 60 percent of its power plants drawing energy from coal. To ensure domestic supply, the country imposes a domestic market obligation (DMO) policy. It requires coal miners to supply 25 percent of annual production to state-owned utility Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) at a maximum price of $70 per metric ton, around half of the current global market price.
The policy seeks to maintain a 20-day coal supply for local power plants, or around 5.1 metric tons. But, as of Jan 1, local coal miners only meet less than 1 percent of the required supply, Ridwan Jamaluddin, the director-general of minerals and coal at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral resources, said in a statement.
“Why is exporting prohibited for everyone? We can’t help it, and it’s just temporary. If the prohibition is not implemented, over 20 power plants with a combined capacity of 10,850 megawatts will be shut down,” Ridwan said in the statement.
“If no strategic actions are taken, a widespread blackout is possible,” he said, adding that the government planned to revisit the ban after Jan 5.

I am afraid the world we will be seeing more coal exporting countries limiting or stopping exports of coal completely. We seems to be at “peak coal.”
Canada in full blown Commie Dictatorship
Pastor Artur Pawlowski and his brother David were arrested again, just moments ago — the government just won’t leave them alone.
It’s becoming an international disgrace.
How ironic — just a few hours ago I wrote to you telling you that Pastor Artur Pawlowski was the 2021 “newsmaker of the year” for the persecution he suffered.
Well, 2022 isn’t even a day old, and Pastor Artur is back in the news again.
Not by his own choosing — but by the choosing of the abusive, intolerant, anti-Christian, punitive government of Alberta. They’re furious with Pastor Artur.
As you know, he scored a major court victory against them where the draconian sentence against him was suspended.
The government had asked that he be banned from travelling (to stop him from giving speeches) and that he be forced to read out government propaganda at the end of every sermon, media interview or Facebook post where he disagreed with the government’s views on the lockdowns.
None of that has anything to do with public health. All of it is a political punishment for a political prisoner.
Pastor Artur had that abusive sentence “stayed” in an emergency court hearing. And it looks like the government exacted their revenge for that on him today.

New Zealand yoga industry suffers as anti-vax sentiment co-opts wellness industry
Many know Wanaka, a picturesque tourist town at the foot of New Zealand’s Southern Alps, for its most famous tree.
The willow, which blooms uncannily from the glacial lake as if floating on water, represents different things for different people. For some, the miracles of a divine nature, for others, a marvel easily explained by science.
In the last several months another unlikely phenomenon has taken root among its residents.
Three weeks ago, in what many local patrons describe as a “sudden move,” three of the town’s four yoga studios simultaneously said their final namaste and closed their doors.
“The last time I went there there was nothing at the class to suggest things were changing, and then I went online to book my next class and found out I couldn’t do that,” said Judith Cullen, a local Tarras resident who had been enjoying yoga as an important part of her routine.
The three studios decided that they were unable – or unwilling – to operate under Aotearoa’s “traffic light” system, which requires teachers and students alike to be double vaccinated.
“Our studio is all about inclusion and if we can’t include everyone, we’ll include no one,” said the owner of one of the three to shut its doors.

Mandatory Employee Vaccines – Coming to A State Near You? (UPDATED)
The chart below – current as of December 30, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. (Central) – provides basic information on vaccination mandates issued at the federal and statewide levels. It covers directives that affect public or private entities as employers.
This chart also includes information about state responses to the vaccine-or-test emergency temporary standard (ETS), which was released on November 4, 2021 by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). That information will be provided only for states that have workplace safety and health programs approved by OSHA. States with approved plans are required to adopt standards that are at least as effective as (even if not identical to) OSHA’s standards.

Our Relationship With COVID Vaccines Is Just Getting Started
We probably will need additional shots. But just how many depends on our immune systems, the virus, and how often they collide.
Walter Barker has, since the fall of 2020, had five doses of COVID-19 vaccine. He’s already starting to ponder when he might need a sixth.
Barker, a 38-year-old office worker in New York, received his first two doses a year ago, as part of an AstraZeneca vaccine trial. But the shots, which haven’t been authorized by the FDA, couldn’t get him into some venues. Sick of having to test every time he went to a Yankees game, Barker nabbed a pair of Moderna injections in the spring. Then, when the government urged boosters, he figured he’d “rather be safe than sorry,” especially because of his Type 2 diabetes—a risk factor for severe COVID. That was vaccine No. 5. Plus, he told me, he’d also caught the actual virus between his AstraZeneca and Moderna shots.
Now Barker’s steeling himself for the possibility of “a new booster or two every year.” Inklings of such a policy are already starting to appear. Israel is debating whether to offer fourth shots to higher-risk groups, including people over 60 and health-care workers. Some physicians are arguing that certain Americans should dose up again as well. And vaccine makers have long insisted that we’ll likely need annual shots at least. Given the clip at which the coronavirus seems to change, “I do think we’ll have to keep updating the vaccine,” Katie Gostic, an infectious-disease modeler at the University of Chicago, told me.

the myth of Progress, the modern religion of Progress, is devolving into the mass formation psykchosis which has been big news recently.
and that combines well with the fact that the more “modern” the medical progress, the more billions that the medical industrial complex reaps.
and combines well with the atheeist agggnostic Powers That Be who have little regard for human life such that if tens of thousands of plebs die, it’s no reason to discontinue the “progress” of the medical industrial complex.
it’s very stooooopidly arrrrogant for these medical elites and their journalist elite enablers to think and write from the point of view that the modern medical industrial complex “knows” better than the many million year evolved human immune system.
as others have suggested, the imminent (decade or two) collapse of IC will bring this arrrogant follly to an end, though these miseducated elites will never realize the depth of their moreonic huuubris.
I would guess…that in a post-IC world….these modern tyrant-nerd types don’t survive childhood….
thanks for the overview – I got an image there of Sisyphus rolling a giant virus up a mountain of industrial-debris; piled-up high like some nightmare junk-yard; spike proteins getting stuck and breaking-off in metal crevasses; a punishment for the persistent hubris.

Yeah. But five of them were single malt.

In sad new zealand the new year is celebrated in the traditional ways:
Murder:
https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/127421608/two-groups-clashed-before-manukau-velodrome-death-police-say
and suicide:
https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/127422114/sudden-death-in-remote-marlborough-sounds-location
The general feeling is that 2022 will be a bumper year for both. nz excels at both but the true figures are hidden by the government and the not-free press which is government controlled.
For example a popular suicide method in sad nz is to park your car on a railway track. The corrupt government calls these accidental deaths. Like the car stalled on the tracks.
Whew! I am lucky cos I am in happy nz.
In happy nz you spend your capital gains on a new boat/car/SUV/caravan/holiday
In happy nz you get a jab or 2 or 3 to get along ala Spike
In happy nz you think Jabcinda has done a great job
In happy nz you see the destruction of the natural environment for green energy as progress
In happy nz you trust ‘The Science’
In happy nz you trust the fourth estate
in happy nz you walk the govt plank thinking its a magic carpet to the future
Mmmmm… on second thoughts maybe I am in Alice’s Nowhereland; neither happy nor sad but expecting the Bad and wondering how long before Omnicron is used to further abuse our democratic ‘rights’…..whatever they were outside of the fossil fuel binge we are just exiting.

maybe a repeat? but this is “good”:

anyway:

adios, Carlos!
may be a comedian doing a skit but it’s still “good”.

This is Soooooo…. Good! I almost wish I had FB with a 1000 friends so I could share it
hahahahaha
At this stage, if you don’t laugh at their misery, they will still laugh at you being pureblood and dirty. So why not just laugh at them? Do you think they care a single iota on you laughing at them? I think they don’t even understand they are being laughed at.
Exactly because that’s how the Woke crowd operates. They giveth but can’t take it. So in the immortal words of Fast Eddy, I say too, Carlos: tough sh*t and buh bye. 😜
This guy took the booster.
You are kidding us.

My eldest daughter (mid twenties, slim and fitter than average) had to get the Vax to work and got the Astra zennica one to avoid the MRNA. No problems for both doses however her Partner had 24 hours of pain in his previously injured back and skin too painful to touch. Last week My Daughter was stung by a bee, unlike previously she started to react to it badly, eventually going to hospital and needing 3 shots of adrenalin and then having to take steroids to calm the immune response down. While it is how allergic reactions seem to happen, I am wondering about the claim that Vax supercharges your immune system and if this is the case will there be a lot more people with severe reactions to stings and bites?
Maybe so.
My landlady took the vaccine. Later on she took the booster and now she’s severely ill and can’t leave her house.
Tell her to get an electric wheelchair
Slip a note under her door I TOLD YOU SO hahaha
Anecdotes like yours are really building since the booster campaign: this is why the online censorship will tighten.
People who sailed through doses 1 and 2 (with maybe only the 48-hour fever that ‘showed it’s working’) are often falling down hard at dose 3.
And yet aren’t the boosters only meant to be 1/2 doses? If so, even more alarming.
At this point in time i would guess many more vaxxed that I know than unvaxxed. We have to respect their right to choose what they put in their bodies if we have any expectation of them respecting our self evident right to put what we choose in our bodies.
It must be awful to have a VAX injury. Now you are abandoned by the medical services because they cant admit that vax injuries exist! Have your landlady contact FLCC to find a doctor that is willing to fulfill his oath by treating her. She needs to realize she is not alone and just suffer with her injury untreated. There is going to be vax injuries and they will need to be treated.
On the other hand, bee stings and wasp stings can “supercharge” the immune system all on their own. Often the first time someone is stung by a particular species, the inflammation is mild, but if they are stung by the same species at a later date, the reaction can be life-threatening.
sorry to hear that… odd as it might sound, a D-cell fence-charger might help next time… the technique is to shock repeatedly, maybe ten or twenty small jolts in a circle around the edge of the sting every hour or two… it’ll cause a muscle-twitch for sure, but it’s not too bad on the low-power setting… it’s presumed to do something like causing a change of the shape of the venom-protein-antigen to modify immune response… that’s one theory to explain the empirical results… have seen it close-up my brother’s necrotic brown-recluse wound… he’s got photographic evidence of that episode… worked on me for a nasty cat-scratch infection, go figure… it will definitely reduce the length and severity of chigger reactions from personal experience… I’ve read reports of snake-bite rescues with this technique in Arizona… found the idea in an old Dr, Douglas newsletter… if I can find the original on-line I’ll post it
So was it combo of ~low voltage and amperage (given the D-cell batt input) vs high end fence chargers? Perhaps they don’t make this anymore..
The one I have is a Zareba B10LI – uses 4 D-cells – label says: up to .25 joule output – up to 10 miles
Has a Hi – Lo switch on the back

End to fossil fuel financing
The federal government announced at COP26 this year that it would stop new direct public finance for coal, oil and gas development by the end of 2022 and shift that investment to renewable energy projects.
The United States, United Kingdom and 21 other nations also joined the pledge.

There’s your time frame for collapse – before the end of the year
And continuing with the mockery of the thugs on steroids…who shag skanks in toilets at airports… let’s compare salaries:
After landing his own big-money extension in August, Josh Allen is second behind Mahomes with an average annual salary of $43 million. The Buffalo Bills rewarded Allen with a six-year, $258 million deal following his breakout 2020 campaign.
Dak Prescott, who also signed a new deal this offseason, is third at $40 million. Prescott secured a four-year, $160 million contract from the Dallas Cowboys despite suffering a gruesome season-ending ankle injury last year.
Deshaun Watson ($39 million) and Russell Wilson ($35 million) round out the top five.

#1 Handre Pollard.
Club: Leicester Tigers
Salary: £1M
World cup winner fly-half Handre Pollard signed for Montpellier after Rugby World Cup 2019, he was the joint-highest paid player on the planet, along with Piutau. Pollard will slide down the later this year after agreeing on a £600,000 per season move to Leicester Tigers.

Yup. Like bitcoin will replace other fiat currencies. The tulip smells great, until the wasp gets a taste of your nose. Keep a distance.
well given enough time.., as ~younger generations move in (up on the ladder), they take their preferences and biases along..
I am confused. I cannot find the 23 nation pledge this refers to. It would be helpful to know what precisely was agreed to.
All of the publicity about the conference was with respect to how little it accomplished. This is one summary of what was accomplished:
https://ukcop26.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/COP26-Presidency-Outcomes-The-Climate-Pact.pdf
This is the advance unedited version:
https://unfccc.int/sites/default/files/resource/cop26_auv_2f_cover_decision.pdf
I could not find it either. There is a Reuters article that lists Denmark, Marshall Islands and Italy among them, but no complete list.
Look up Glasgow climate pact from Wikipedia that tells enough to understand what was agreed pledged or changed gail
Our only chance are renewable energy it may buy us some more time while the scientists search for a cheap energy source
I wouldn’t count on ground solar, wind, or even hydroelectric to solve our problems. Storage needs to extend from summer to winter. We can’t do that. They cannot allow our current lifestyle to continue.
That’s what the jabs are trying to change our lifestyle
“They cannot allow our current lifestyle to continue”
… but, the predicament is that no one can know in advance if the decline can be managed in any realistic way. It almost seems like every tap-on-the-brakes will exacerbate things. I’m hearing high numbers in the construction trades will not get vaccinated, which puts a whole lot of big projects in a bad place. And if many of those just halt come Spring as a result of non-compliance; who is OSHA going to go after with their beefed-up staffing? That bureaucracy is just a big, dumb hammer looking for nails.
I was hoping at one time that the powers that were, would figure out how to tap the mega-currents of the Aurora Borealis, but upon further consideration, even if they could, that would just extend the plunder of Life on Earth. The Phoenix is likely to burn and not return from its ashes in any civilizational sense.
Not so fast, [collapse proper] is likely many years, perhaps a decade or two away still..
For one thing, we have to go through hands on rationing (local) and barter phase (int) and that’s apparently not here yet for the core parts of the world. Also, people are nudged to use less energy in every aspect, e.g. US car manufs are now adopting the world’s standard of turbo fanned gasoline engines, basically you go from ~2.5l to 1.5l engine displacement with increased efficiency. Plus the closure of leisure activities, hotels etc., home office.. , triage and abandonement of 2.5-3rd world etc
Exactly so.
Well, as the WEF still allows me a garden (but for how long?) and the sun is once again shining with that subtle, golden light of mid-winter I’m off to plant some more fruit trees and bushes.
Some people, birds or insects will enjoy them, if not myself.
I’ve made comments to people before about the .GOV cracking down on home gardens as they negatively impact supermarket profits.
when/where does that happen Adam?
Exactly so, Adam. It is no fantasy.
There are already places where it is not permitted to store water in butts for watering a kitchen garden, and that could easily be extended.
Moreover, the new class of natural resource investment vehicles could be set up to actually own all rainfall.
Sharing/selling of local seeds is also prohibited in some jurisdictions.
Totalitarian means TOTAL control, after all – there is no reason why anything should escape, except collapse of the whole.
makes sense, and it probably will follow that trajectory; unless it occurs like one of those Professor Bartlett trick questions “if the rate of doubling is X, then what time is it ….”
a non-linear collapse and all bets are off on “management”
a simple grid-lock somewhere could trigger that avalanche (maybe)
Correlation is not causation, but there sure are a lot of coincidences as of late.

Brain fog is the seventh most common symptom in the ZOE study.
I think I might have had an Omicron infection. My coworker had a bad headache and a sore throat. I had fever and a headache. My nasal test was negative though. Omicron has an ability to evade the test… especially a nasal test. I had mild symptoms for three days.
No brain fog though…well…I’m always a bit foggy.

Thanks! This is a better link than the previous one.
This link makes it clear that nearly all of the subjects reporting so far have been vaccinated. We don’t have good information on how symptoms vary with the unvaccinated. Also, it is clear that “brain fog” is not one of the top 5 symptoms.
