Russia’s attack on Ukraine represents a demand for a new world order that, over the long term, will support higher prices for fossil fuels, especially oil. Such an economy would probably be centered on Russia and China. The rest of the world economy, to the extent that it continues to exist, will largely have to get along without fossil fuels, other than the fossil fuels that countries continue to produce for themselves. Population and living standards will fall in most of the world.
If a Russia-and-China-centric economy can be developed, the US dollar will no longer be the world’s reserve currency. Trade will be in the currency of the new Russia-China block. Outside of this block, local currencies will play a dominant role. Most of today’s debt will ultimately be defaulted upon; to the extent that this debt is replaced, it will be replaced with debt in local currencies.
As I see the situation, the underlying problem is the fact that, on a world basis, energy consumption per capita is shrinking. Energy consumption is essential for creating goods and services.
The shrinking amount of energy per person means that, on average, fewer and fewer finished goods and services can be produced for each person. Some countries do better than average; others do worse. With low fossil fuel prices, Russia has been faring worse than average; it wants to remedy the situation with long-term higher energy prices. If Russia can start transferring its energy exports to China, perhaps the new Russia-China economy, with limited support from the rest of the world, can afford to pay Russia the high prices for fossil fuels that Russia requires to maintain its economy.
In this post, I will try to explain what I see is happening.
[1] It appears that Russia now fears that it is near collapse, not too different from the collapse of the central government of the Soviet Union in 1991. Such a collapse would lead to a huge drop in Russia’s living standards, even from today’s relatively low level.
If we look back at the Soviet Union’s energy consumption, we see a strange pattern. The Soviet Union’s energy consumption rose rapidly in the period after World War II. It became a military rival of the US, as its energy consumption grew in the 1965 to 1985 period. Its energy consumption leveled off before the central government collapsed in 1991. In fact, energy consumption has never gotten back to its level in the late 1980s.
[2] The thing that seems to have been behind the 1991 collapse is the same thing that seems to be behind Russia’s current fear of collapse: continued low oil prices.
When we look back at inflation-adjusted oil prices, we see that a long period of low prices preceded this collapse. These low prices were harmful in many ways. They reduced funds for reinvestment, which led to the collapse in oil supply. They reduced the funds available to pay wages. They also reduced the tax revenue that the Soviet Union could collect.
I believe that these chronically low oil prices ultimately brought down the top layer of the government of the Soviet Union. This is because of the physics of the situation. It takes energy to provide the services of the top level of the government. As the total energy that could be purchased by the system fell because of low prices received for exports, it became impossible to support this top level of governmental services. This top layer was less essential than the lower levels of government, so it fell away.
In recent times, there has also been a long period of low prices, since about 2013:
Unless this pattern of low prices can be reversed quickly, Russia as a political entity could collapse. Exports of all of the goods it now produces would likely fall.
[3] While oil prices depend on “supply and demand,” as a practical matter, demand is very dependent on interest rates and debt levels. The higher the debt level and the lower the interest rate, the higher the price of oil can rise.
If we look back at Figure 4, we can see that before the US subprime housing bubble popped in 2008, inflation-adjusted oil prices were able to rise to $157 per barrel, adjusted to the 2020 price level. Once the debt bubble popped, inflation-adjusted oil prices fell to $49 per barrel. It was at this low point (and correspondingly low prices for many other commodities) that the US started its program of Quantitative Easing (QE) to lower interest rates.
After two years of QE, oil prices were back above $140 per barrel, in inflation-adjusted prices, but these soon started sliding down. By the time oil prices dropped to $120 per barrel, oil companies started to complain that prices were falling too low to meet all of their needs, including the need to drill in ever less productive areas. Now we are at a point where interest rates are about as low as they can go. Short-term interest rates are near zero, which is where they were in the late 1930s.
The quantity of funds in people’s checking and savings accounts is at an extraordinarily high level, as well. This is partly because of the availability of debt at these low interest rates.
Thus, even before the Ukrainian invasion, oil prices were raised about as high as they could go, through low interest rates and generous debt availability. With all this stimulus, Brent Spot Oil prices averaged $86.51 in January 2022. Even now, with all the disruption of the attack by Russia against Ukraine, oil prices are below the $120 threshold that producers seem to need. This price issue, plus the corresponding low-price issues for natural gas and coal, is the problem that Russia is concerned about.
Prices for imported coal and natural gas have bounced very high in the last few months, but no one expects these high prices to last. For one thing, they are too high for the European manufacturers that use imported coal or natural gas to stay in business. For example, producers that create urea fertilizer using natural gas find that the price of fertilizer produced in this way is way too high for farmers to afford. For another, the electricity produced by burning the high-priced natural gas or coal tends to be too expensive for European households to afford.
[4] The fundamental problem behind recent low oil prices is the fact that the current mix of consumers cannot afford goods and services produced using the high oil prices that producers, such as Russia, need to operate, pay high enough wages, and do adequate reinvestment.
When the price of oil was very low, back before 1970 (see Figure 3), it was relatively easy for consumers to afford goods and services made with oil. This was the period when the world economy was growing rapidly, and many people could afford to purchase automobiles and buy the oil products needed to operate them.
Once the cost of oil extraction started rising because of depletion, it became more and more difficult to keep prices both:
- High enough for oil producers, such as Russia, and
- Low enough to make affordable goods for consumers, as was possible prior to 1970
To try to hide the increasingly difficult problem of keeping prices both high enough for producers and low enough for consumers, central banks have lowered interest rates and encouraged the use of more debt. The idea is that if a person can buy a fuel-efficient car at a low enough interest rate and over a long enough term, perhaps this will make the vehicle more affordable. Similarly, interest rates on home mortgages have fallen to very low levels. All of this, plus the fact that debt is used to finance new factories and mines, leads to the relationship we saw in Figure 4 between oil prices and debt availability, related to interest rates.
[5] No one knows precisely how much oil, coal and natural gas can be extracted because the quantity that can be extracted depends on the extent of the price rise that can be tolerated without plunging the economy into recession.
If prices of these fossil fuels can rise very high (say, $300 per barrel for oil, and correspondingly high prices for other fossil fuels), a huge amount of fossil fuel can be extracted. Conversely, if energy prices cannot stay above the equivalent of $80 per barrel oil for very long without a serious recession, then we may already be very close to the end of available fossil fuel extraction. Both oil and gas producers and coal producers can be expected to go out of business because prices do not leave a sufficient margin for the required investment in new fields to offset the depletion of existing fields. Renewables will falter, as well, because both building and maintaining renewables requires fossil fuels.
The amount of resources of any kind (fossil fuels and minerals such as lithium, uranium, copper and zinc) that can be extracted depends upon the extent of depletion that the economy can tolerate. Depletion of any kind of resource means that a bigger effort (more workers, more machinery, more energy products) is required to extract a given quantity of each resource. It is clear that the entire economy cannot be transferred to the extraction of fossil fuels and mineral resources. For example, some workers and resources are needed for growing and transporting food. This puts a limit on how much depletion can be tolerated.
What Russia (as well as every other oil producer) would like is a way to get the tolerable oil price up significantly higher, for example, to $150 per barrel, so that more oil can be extracted. The hope is that a Russia-and-China-centric economy might be able to do this. Ideally, the tolerable maximum price for coal and natural gas would rise, as well.
[6] Europe, in particular, cannot afford high oil prices. If interest rates are increased soon, this will make the problem even worse. China seems to have definite advantages as an economic partner.
Europe is already having difficulty tolerating very high prices of imported natural gas and coal. Rising oil prices will add even more stress. Central banks are planning to raise interest rates. These higher interest rates will make loan payments more expensive. These higher interest rates will tend to push Europe’s economy further toward recession.
Given the problems with Europe as an energy importer, China would seem to have the possibility of being a better customer that can perhaps tolerate higher prices. For one thing, China is more efficient in its use of energy products than Europe. For example, many homes in the southern half of China are not heated in winter. People instead dress warmly inside their homes in winter. Also, homes and businesses in northern China are sometimes heated with waste heat from nearby coal-fired electricity plants. This is a very efficient approach to heating.
China also uses more coal in its energy mix than Europe. Historically, coal has been much less expensive than oil. What is needed is a low average price of energy. A small amount of high-priced oil can be tolerated in an economy that uses mostly coal in its energy mix. When all costs are counted, wind and solar are very high-priced energy sources, which contributes to Europe’s problems.
In recent years, China’s consumption of energy products has been growing very rapidly. Perhaps, in the view of Russia, China can use high-priced fossil fuel better than other parts of the world.
[7] Russia realized that the rest of the world is utterly dependent upon its fossil fuel exports. Because of this dependency, as well as the physics-based connection between the burning of fossil fuels and the making of finished goods and services, Russia holds huge power over the world economy.
The world economy should have known about the importance of fossil fuels and the likelihood that the world economy would face depletion issues in the first half of the 21st century, ever since a speech by Rear Admiral Hyman Rickover in 1957. In this speech, Rickover said,
We live in what historians may someday call the Fossil Fuel Age. . .With high energy consumption goes a high standard of living. . . A reduction of per capita energy consumption has always in the past led to a decline in civilization and a reversion to a more primitive way of life.
Current estimates of fossil fuel reserves vary to an astonishing degree. In part this is because the results differ greatly if cost of extraction is disregarded or if in calculating how long reserves will last, population growth is not taken into consideration; or, equally important, not enough weight is given to increased fuel consumption required to process inferior or substitute metals. We are rapidly approaching the time when exhaustion of better grade metals will force us to turn to poorer grades requiring in most cases greater expenditure of energy per unit of metal.
. . . it is an unpleasant fact that according to our best estimates, total fossil fuel reserves recoverable at not over twice today’s unit cost are likely to run out at sometime between the years 2000 and 2050, if present standards of living and population growth rates are taken into account.
I suggest that this is a good time to think soberly about our responsibilities to our descendants – those who will ring out the Fossil Fuel Age. Our greatest responsibility, as parents and as citizens, is to give America’s youngsters the best possible education [including the energy problem of a world with finite resources].
Many people today would conclude that world leaders have done their best to ignore this advice. The likely problem with fossil fuels has been hidden behind an imaginative, but false, narrative that our biggest problem is climate change caused primarily by fossil fuel extraction that can be expected to extend until at least 2100, unless positive steps are made to hold back this extraction.
In this false narrative, all the world needs to do is to move to wind and solar for its energy needs. As I discussed in my most recent post, titled Limits to Green Energy Are Becoming Much Clearer, this narrative of success is completely false. Instead, we seem to be hitting energy limits in the near term because of chronically low prices. Wind and solar are doing very little to help because they cannot be depended upon when needed. Furthermore, the quantity of wind and solar available is far too low to replace fossil fuels.
Few people in America and Europe realize that the world economy is entirely dependent upon Russia’s exports of oil, coal and natural gas. This dependency can be seen in many ways. For example, in 2020, 41% of world natural gas exports came from Russia. Natural gas is especially important for balancing electricity from wind and solar.
North America has historically played only a very small role in natural gas exports; it is questionable whether North America can ramp up its total natural gas production in the future, given the depletion problems being experienced with respect to the extraction of oil and the associated natural gas from shale formations. Continuously high oil prices are necessary to justify ramping up production outside of sweet spots. If drillers consider long-term prospects for oil prices to be too low, the associated natural gas will not be collected.
Europe is especially dependent upon natural gas imports (Figure 9). Its imports of natural gas exceed the exports of Russia and its affiliated countries in the Commonwealth of Independent States, referred to as Russia+ in Figures 8 and 9.
Without the natural gas exports of Russia and its close affiliates, there is no possibility of supplying adequate natural gas exports to the rest of the world.
Diesel fuel, created by refining oil, is another energy product that is in critically short supply, especially in Europe. Diesel fuel is used to power trucks and farm tractors, as well as many European automobiles. An Argus Media report indicates that Russian supplies account for 50% to 60% of Europe’s seaborne imports of diesel and other gasoil, amounting to 4 to 6 million tons of fuel per month. It likely would be impossible to replace these imports, using supplies from elsewhere, without bidding the price of these imported fuels up to a much higher price level than today. Even then, countries outside Europe would be left with inadequate diesel supplies.
[8] Russia’s attack on Ukraine seems to have been made for many reasons.
Russia was clearly frustrated with the current situation, with NATO becoming increasingly assertive within Ukraine itself, even though Ukraine is not itself a NATO member. Russia is also aware that in some sense, it has far more power over the world economy than most people realize because the world economy is utterly dependent on Russia’s fossil fuel exports (Section 7). Sanctions against Russia will likely hurt the countries making the sanctions as much or more than they hurt Russia.
There were also several concerns that were specifically Ukrainian giving rise to the attack on Ukraine. There had been long standing conflicts about natural gas pipelines. Was Ukraine taking too much natural gas out as a transit fee? Was it paying the correct fee for the natural gas it used? Ukraine also seems to have mistreated quite a few Russian-speaking Ukrainians over the years.
Russia has become increasingly frustrated with the small share of the world’s output of goods and services that it receives. The way the economic system works today, those who provide “services” seem to receive a disproportionate share of the world’s output of goods and services. Russia, with its extraction of minerals of many kinds, including fossil fuels, has not been well compensated for the great wealth that it brings to the world as a whole.
Over the years, Russia’s great strength has been its military. Perhaps Ukraine would not be too large a country to do battle over. Russia might be able to eliminate some of its irritations with Ukraine. At the same time, it might be able to make changes that would help to raise what have become chronically low fossil fuel prices. The sanctions that other countries would make would tend to push the required changes along more quickly.
If the sanctions really did push Russia down, the result would tend to push the whole world economy toward collapse, because the rest of the world is extremely dependent upon Russia’s fossil fuel exports. In Figure 1, the laws of physics say that there is a proportional response to the quantity of energy “dissipated”; if a greater output of goods and services is desired, more energy input is required. Efficiency changes can somewhat help, but efficiency savings tend to be offset by the higher energetic needs of the more complex system required to achieve these savings.
If energy prices do not rise high enough, we will somehow need to get along with very little or no fossil fuels. It is doubtful that renewables will last very long either because they depend upon fossil fuels for their maintenance and repair.
[9] If higher energy prices cannot be achieved, there is a significant chance that the change in the world order will be in the direction of pushing the world economy toward collapse.
We are living in a world today with shrinking energy resources per capita. We should be aware that we are reaching the limits of fossil fuels and other minerals that we can extract, unless we can somehow figure out a way to get the economy to tolerate higher prices.
The danger that we are approaching is that the top levels of governments, everywhere in the world, will either collapse or be overthrown by their unhappy citizens. The reduced amounts of energy available will push governments in this way. At the same time, programs such as government-funded pension plans and unemployment plans will disappear. Electricity is likely to become intermittent and then fail completely. International trade will shrink back; economies will become much more local.
We were warned that we would be reaching a time period with serious energy problems about now. The first time came in the 1957 Rickover speech discussed in Section 7. The second warning came from the 1972 book, The Limits to Growth by Donella Meadows and others, which documented a computer modeling approach to the problem of limits of a finite world. The Ukraine invasion may be a push in the direction of more serious energy problems, emerging primarily from the fact that other countries will want to punish Russia. Few people will realize that punishing Russia is a dangerous path; a serious concern is that today’s economy cannot continue in its current form without Russia’s fossil fuel exports.
Please focus on 2nd column from the left and what we see is again, while there was a clear trend in decline across the prior weeks in terms of infection in vax and unvaxxed, we are seeing in this week (week 11) that the infections are increasing in the vaccinated with 3rd dose. Is this an increase that will be stable and be seen across coming weeks?
This is alarming if so and catastrophic for it may well be that there is not only resistance to the vaccinal Abs that set free the INNATE Abs to regain their functional capacity to eliminate/sterilize the virus, but it may be that the OMICRON is now gaining resistance to the INNATE Abs. This is a nightmare situation to a virologist if I am reading the data correctly. We may have vaccinated too long using a non-sterilizing vaccine that not only drives natural selection to select fittest variants for the future, but we are damaging the INNATE immune system. Our innate immunity is under attack now.

tee heee 🙂
“We may have vaccinated too long using a non-sterilizing vaccine that not only drives natural selection to select fittest variants for the future, but we are damaging the INNATE immune system. Our innate immunity is under attack now.”
that needs a slight clarification.
not “our innate immunity”.
The innate immunity of the Jabbed is under attack now.
let’s watch for many comments below from the Jabbed.

the science of VAIDS is quite fascinating.
I would think that the Jabbed would be very interested in this topic, and would make numerous comments about it.
alas, the opposite is true.
perhaps it’s because the long term studies of the toxic vaccines still have about 8.5 years to go.
so maybe others are being more patient than me, and are holding back on commenting.
though already the science looks very solid:
triple jabbed = VAIDS.
The reason they avoid it is that they have seen photos of AIDS sufferers… and they will lose their minds if they have to face the fact that injecting the experiment … will ultimately result in:

VAIDS is a good outcome — why – because it means the CovIDIOTS don’t get an easy way out ….. they get to suffer … and because they are MOREONS they have no idea that it was the injections that did this to them…
And then BONUS for the Pure Bloods… we can taunt and laugh at the CovIDIOTS cuz they are weak and sickly and cannot retaliate …. hahahahahaahahahahahahaahaha
We can also say to them — with a look of concern on our faces — too bad you injected shit into your bodies that was not tested — and dismissed the possible side effects….
For me personally … I remember the one guy trying to recruit me for hockey tournament for 35 and ups… I declined due to the vax requirements… he said – why don’t you just get the jab — I said — there are no safety studies so no can do … (the tourney was of course cancelled hahaha)…
When he gets the VAIDS do I remind him of that conversation????
We need to stay away from this diseased animals … stay far far away…. and if that means no VIP lounge then so be it… Those festering sores that ooze stench filled puss… are highly HIGHLY contagious …
Invest in a flame thrower… very effective in cauterizing those sores and at the same time exterminating VAIDSies. hahahahaha

“World War Z” is coming! Prepare for the Zombie Apocalypse!
What happens after HIV Seroconversion? After HIV Seroconversion comes the “Latent Phase” where the body is actively building up viral load while remaining asymptomatic & spreading the love! That’s right… ASSYMPTOMATIC!
But aren’t we entering the 6th COVID wave now? Many would claim that the pandemic is fake. However, in Western countries they are removing mandates and opening up communities despite rising infection rates in Germany, UK, France, Italy. This contradictory narrative is being done to either instill fear and have more people run to get the third booster or its being done to spread Omicron into the population… probably both!
So why are government officials removing COVID restrictions now, when they know the 6th wave is descending upon us? An HIV infected patient is most infectious post seroconversion while they remain asymptomatic. That’s why government officials have opened up everything; removed testing and masking mandates, yet still enforcing vaccine mandates. COVID-19 has now become weaponized with the vaccinated super-spreaders transmitting “HIV-like viral particles.”
And they will use this “Seroconversion Phase” to implement mandatory vaccination and the police state they want. There is nowhere to hide from what is coming.

Right! A person can live without a new set of clothes or a new piece of furniture.
Motya, located off the coast of Sicily have identified that an artificial lake was a sacred pool aligned with the stars.
Motya, known today as San Pantaleo Island was a Phoenician port founded during the first Millenium BC in the Stagnone Lagoon between Drepanum (modern Trapani) and Lilybaeum (modern Marsala).
Archaeologists excavating a 2,500-year-old artificial basin, once identified as a military harbour called a Kothon during the 1920s is actually one of the largest sacred pools in the Mediterranean. The pool was added around 550 BC when the city was rebuilt after an attack by Carthage as a centrepiece of a massive religious sanctuary aligned with the stars.
Professor Nigro from Sapienza Università di Roma said: “For a century it was thought Motya’s ‘Kothon’ was a harbour, but new excavations have drastically changed its interpretation: It was a sacred pool at the centre of a huge religious compound.”
Previous research had found a Temple of Ba’al on the edge of Motya’s Kothon, rather than the expected harbour buildings. This unexpected discovery prompted the reinvestigation of the Kothon starting in 2010.

Latest from Saker:
Next, I don’t see any other way to stop the US+UK+PL to intervene other than by means of a Iskander/Kalibr strike not “just” upon any target in the Ukraine, but also strikes on whatever NATO facility is central to the current war preparations by NATO, including locations in Poland , Romania or anywhere else in Europe.
I hope that I am wrong and that the US+UK+PL are not as terminally blinded by their hatred of Russia as to risk an actual full scale war in Europe.
But I have to admit that this hope is small and getting smaller by the day.
It is therefore quite possible, maybe even likely, that in the not too distant future we will see US and Russian military personnel meeting in combat. If that happens, not only will the risks of a fullscale nuclear war go sharply up, but it would place me personally in an impossible situation: I would be a guest of the USA (“Green Card” – I only have a Swiss Passport) while my country of ethnic origin would be at war with the USA.
Here I will only repeat the quote by Putin which I mentioned the day before the Russian special military operation: “if a fight is inevitable you should strike first“. In plain English this means that if the Russian come to the conclusion that the US is engaged in a “Desert Shield” type of operation (claim to be only defensive while preparing for months for a fullscale ground invasion) then you can be sure that Russia will strike EU airports, seaports or any other facility used to prepare an attack on Russia.
In fact, if the US/NATO do decide to attack Russia, this will be the final, nuclear, end for the western civilization as such. After 1000 years of genocidal imperialism, one could be forgiven for thinking that this could be a fitting, just, end” in the “chicken coming home to roost” kind of karmic justice.

And again, I stress it–Petro Yuan is one thing, Ruble-Rupee in Russia-India trade is the whole other story altogether, same as Ruble-Yuan in Russian-Chinese one. USD dominance is being annihilated as I type this. And I can only quote Michael Hudson who himself admitted that he didn’t expect this implosion to develop with such a lightning speed. As you know, I am on record–physical economy and its main derivative, state of the art military, is what only matters in real world. The next step, which is already in progress is demolishing any remaining reputation of all Western “rating” agencies and other institutions which exist only for confusion of people around the world in regards to fast declining and unsalvageable Western economies. Obviously operation in Ukraine will be used by the combined West for covering its own utter economic and foreign policy incompetence, which started to manifest itself long before Russia started to deal with Ukraine up-close and personal, but then again–did you expect anything else? I didn’t.

Yes, perhaps living in the region where one does, one is impressed that we have to resist that peculiar, unappealing tendency (perhaps simply due to pride and spite) to assume that the diminution of that region necessarily involves the diminution, or even demise, of all other regions. You will observe it, again and again, from certain quarters. It is their own psychological response, rather than informative of the reality of the situation. It probably ‘worked’ for them, in some sense, in the distant past, but not necessarily now. Set breeds can be constrained to the point of useless, unavoidable reflexes that appear again and again. Never take them as a standard of anything, always focus on the reality.

Certain quarters are producing an idiotic narrative that no special operation is taking place. Frankly it is an embarrassment to live in the same society as them. It is just as embarrassing as the UK MSM propaganda. The rest of the world should treat it with the contempt that it deserves.
By special operation .. do you mean war?
Or do you mean false flag special operations meant to create the perception of war?
I really enjoyed that clip of the clown standing beside the mostly intact missile that was conveniently placed on the curb and was still smoking … that was fantastic theatre hahaahahahahaha (cuz that’s what missiles do — they fly at the twice the speed of sound — the war head explodes – then the rest of the missile falls to the ground fully intact .. and smoking hahahahahahaahaha)

THE OIL LOCKDOWNS ARE COMING!
“The IEA’s plan to curtail oil demand includes lower speed limits for cars, urging people to work from home, placing occasional limits on car access to city centers, making public transport cheaper, encouraging carpooling, and greater use of high-speed rail and virtual meetings instead of air travel.”

There are loads and loads and loads of freelancers who are attracted to war like flies to shit — and they are the ones who take the biggest risks — cuz the MSM guys refuse – or are not allowed to because it’s too dangerous.
So the freelancers go where no man will go — right to the front line hoping to snap the pic that gets them a full time stringer gig… they are either young and invincible — or just don’t give a f789…
I could easily hire get someone to go into a war zone and pay them $50 a photo – and they’d be ecstatic… (there are websites to find people like this)…. but for some reason none of these people have made it into Ukraine… very very strange given how easy it is to enter…
Make them find the “action” themselves.
How about a slinging a Javelin on their shoulder and ask them to walk to the outskirts of Kiev in search of russkie tanks to “pop”.

From 2020: Neighborhoods where stores were destroyed become food deserts overnight
In many neighborhoods that have seen looting and vandalism over the past week, residents are now left with few — if any — grocery stores, pharmacies and other essential businesses. Which is made even harder by the fact that lots of stores are also closed because of the pandemic.
There’s a 6-mile long commercial corridor in South Minneapolis called Lake Street, and it has been destroyed.
“We no longer have pharmacies in our community,” said ZoeAna Martinez, who works for the Lake Street Council, a business association. “We no longer have gas stations as well. Our largest grocery stores are also gone,” Martinez said. “Right now, our community, we live in a food desert, which happened overnight.”
In Minneapolis and Saint Paul, hundreds of businesses have been damaged or burned to the ground. The same has happened in cities around the country.

The light at the end of the mRNA vaccine tunnel looks more like a train every day
We need to talk about South Korea.
Through 2020 and 2021, South Korea chased zero Covid with strict border controls, aggressive testing and tracing, and a vaccination campaign that reached nearly its entire adult population with mRNA (and some DNA) shots.
The country didn’t quite get to zero. Infections and deaths rose slowly last year. But it came close enough that the usual highly credentialed public health experts held it up as a light among the nations.
Here’s Devi Sridhar – once the world’s youngest Rhodes Scholar, today a “personal chair” in Global Public Health at the University of Edinburgh Medical School – telling the world in November 2021 how super-duper-good South Korea did:
https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/the-light-at-the-end-of-the-mrna/

Truman’s folly of saving a few thousand “American Lives” and not destroying North Korea is paying off quite handsomely now.
North Korea, whose resources were surveyed for the last time in 1940s by the Japanese, has the rare earths and uranium (which was used to build the first Soviet A-bombs since they had been smeltered by the Japanese to use for their own nuclear research) , to fuel the West.
In my opinion, the lives of 50,000 US rednecks were not worth the resources of North Korea which would have saved the West from Russian bullying.
It seems as if it is the relatively undeveloped countries that have the resources remaining.
And they know it. Weakened by inflation and Covid, the wests time is up.
Do we really believe what is said between Putin, Macron, Erdogan, Biden etc etc that is being spoonfed to us? Do we?

Mark Ruffalo, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Stiller and more stars sign letter protesting Canada Gas Pipeline
Three actors join long list of celebrities fighting against The Royal Bank of Canada
By Janelle Ash | Fox News
More than 65 celebrities, including Mark Ruffalo, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Stiller, Scarlett Johansson, Taika Waititi, Jane Fonda, Susan Sarandon and Robert Downey Jr., banded together to send the letter to City National Bank’s parent company.
City National Bank has been dubbed as the “Bank of the Stars” and acquired the Royal Bank of Canada in 2015.
Some of the celebrities mentioned filmed a video together to raise awareness, using the hashtag #NoMoreDirtyBanks.
Right now, major banks like the Royal Bank of Canada are financing a fracked gas pipeline bulldozing through the land of the Wet’suwet’en nation in Northern British Columbia, Canada.”
He went on to say, “The Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs never consented to this pipeline construction through their terrorities, which would risk the sacred headwaters of the Wedzin Kwa River, but here’s where it gets complicated.”
The Supreme Court of Canada recognized Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs as rightful title holders of the land, but corporations still get away with consulting only ‘elected leadership’ put in place by the colonial government.”
In a statement to Variety, which published the letter as an ad, Coastal GasLink stated: “Since the beginning of the Project, Coastal GasLink has sought to engage and consult with the Wet’suwet’en Houses through the Office of the Wet’suwet’en and the elected leadership. We want to listen and seek meaningful ways to address interests and concerns including ensuring the pipeline is built under the Morice River using the safest technology available.”
“Coastal GasLink recognizes that Indigenous reconciliation and addressing climate change are essential to creating a better, more sustainable world,” the statement added. We would encourage everyone interested to take the time to understand all the facts and the important role Indigenous communities have in developing and building the Project.”
The Royal Bank of Canada hasn’t responded to the video or the letter.
We don’t need it at all…I’ll take cold showers here in South Florida without my gas water heater!
Sustainable, unless a person stops to think that we need oil to run our economy.
“A World Food Programme (WFP) official said on Friday that food supply chains in Ukraine were collapsing, with a portion of infrastructure destroyed and many grocery stores and warehouses empty.
“”The country’s food supply chain is falling apart. Movements of goods have slowed down due to insecurity and the reluctance of drivers,” Jakob Kern, WFP Emergency Coordinator for the Ukraine crisis, told a Geneva press briefing by videolink from Poland.”

Not sure why this would be given there is barely a war going on in the country.
More likely what we are seeing is a powering down of BAU and the supply chains…. as we prep for DC and the Great Starvation.
Collapsing food supply sounds very worrying.
“Russia’s energy clout doesn’t just come from oil and gas – it’s also a key nuclear supplier.
“As Western nations look for ways to reduce their reliance on Russian oil and gas, another aspect of the Ukraine crisis has received less attention: Most of the 32 countries that use nuclear power rely on Russia for some part of their nuclear fuel supply chain.”

“Uranium Prices Are Through the Roof as the War Shifts Thinking on Nuclear Power…
“”…there are “signs a few countries in Europe may shift their stance on nuclear power and maintain existing reactors longer, or possibly build new ones sooner as they look to diversify away from Russian [natural] gas.””
https://www.barrons.com/articles/uranium-prices-spike-as-war-shifts-thinking-on-nuclear-power-51647505802
It is impossible to ramp up uranium production quickly, just as it is impossible to ramp up fossil fuel or nickel production quickly.
Any idea how it would likely affect nuclear energy in UK and western Europe?
Perhaps the impact would not be right away, because plants have stored uranium supplies. But eventually (year or two) there would be a problem with inadequate fuel for nuclear power plants.
I can imagine someone trying to substitute inadequate fuel for adequate fuel, when adequate fuel isn’t available. That wouldn’t work.
Not much for the countries that cuts a deal with the russkies.
Uranium can be smuggled with ease, say compared with FF’s that is a bit more bulky per unit of energy delivered.
A years worth of fuel for a nuke could be trucked from Russia to, say Sweden or Finland overnight.
Good luck tracking that truck.
For this blockade to “work”, the nuke power plants and processing facilities must be under scrutiny.
Russia is involved in the supply of uranium for nuclear reactors.
Over 40% of uranium mining is done in Kazakhstan. Then
The more one goes into details of the problem and the more one understands that we should all have convinced Zelensky to accept a neutral Ukraine….
Is he interested in things called people?
He seems to have the highest-paid gig ever in show biz.
“The International Energy Agency has called for member countries to adopt “emergency measures” to cut oil demand in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, including driving restrictions, lower speed limits and curbs on air travel.
“Fatih Birol, head of the energy watchdog, on Friday warned that such steps might be necessary because “oil markets are in an emergency situation . . . and it may get worse”.”
https://www.ft.com/content/a5df06cf-a11c-42bd-81b5-5e30ec3a64aa
No kidding! Oil consumption needs to be cut back dramatically, to match what is really available. This is especially the case in Europe.
“OPEC+ continues to under-produce quotas…
“The International Energy Agency, which predicted the oil market was set for a 700,000 bpd supply deficit in the second quarter from potential Russian disruption, assessed that OPEC+ was producing 1.1 million bpd below target last month…
“Only a handful of OPEC+ countries have the capacity to raise output in a meaningful way, namely Gulf producers Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.”
https://www.reuters.com/business/opec-compliance-rises-136-february-sources-say-2022-03-18/
The IEA was forecasting big increases in oil production this year, but there was little reason why such an increase could actually take place.
And the raising of output in a meaningful way is just wishful thinking. In fact the output of certain Saudi key fields could go to zero rapidly.
Not even the public antics of Fat Boris is going to change that one!

Albania to impose food price controls
TIRANA (Albania), March 18 (SeeNews) – Albania’s government will set up a board that will set maximum prices of basic food items in order to prevent unjustified price hikes related to the war in Ukraine, the prime minister’s office said.
The government will cancel the licences and confiscate the supplies of businesses that will defy the price control measures, the prime minister’s office said in a statement on Thursday .
The board will comprise government officials, wholesalers, retailers and representatives of food supply businesses.
“The profit margin should be frozen to the point it is sufficient for you to continue operating, without encountering difficulties in paying the same monthly salaries to your workers and keep your daily activities running,” prime minister Edi Rama said in the statement.
https://seenews.com/news/albania-to-impose-food-price-controls-777605
Price controls unfortunately discourage farmers from using fertilizer and other high cost inputs.
Price controls discourage nearly everyone from doing anything at all, as far as one can see.
I live in Albania and his idea is terrible. He should have subsidized the food prices. He doesn’t want to do that because he would have to cut taxes or government spending. By the way, I opened a blog in Albanian on Peak Oil ten years ago and spread the word but very few were interested in the topic, until now. We are better positoned to weather the storm because we are more rural, and our main crop is olive trees. They need less fertilizer, less irrigation and the product (oil) is longer lasting than grains. We may need to follow the ketogenic diet (based on fats) for some months to survive if starvation comes.
Interesting to hear about Albania, thank you.
Fats are essential, as you say, and can store very well.
I’ve notice from civilian accounts of WW2, and the Russian Revolution, that people were OK as long as they had access now and then to fats, and just a little meat, however bad and inadequate their daily diet had become.
English peasants used to fill up on dumplings, made with beef fat and flour, and thick slices of bread smeared with the same.
A good stock of vitamin pills to make sure one’s teeth don’t loosen from malnutrition would also seem to be a good idea.
Vitamin C can of course be derived from rose hips, made into a syrup.
A person definitely does not want too much iron in the diet. Iron in quantity tends to come from red meat. Donating blood tends to get rid of excess iron.
Donate??? DONATE????? hahahahahahahahaaha….
I will SELL my Pure Blood… nobody gets it for free hahahahahaahhaahahaha
The easiest and only source of meat and a bit of fat during the revolution was children… also they did eat the dead … but they preferred to snatch kill and eat children…
I would imagine they would have more tender meat — eating some gnarly old geezer like norm would only be for the truly desperate
Doomies should make sure to have a Le Crueset slow cooking post…. and a very hefty cleaver for hacking through thigh bones ..
This is the perfect gift for any prepper — you can’t go wrong

According to a telling of the real life event that was basis for Moby Dick apparentl/y better to go cannibal sooner rather than later – lost at sea in lifeboats the surviving sailors waited until all stores of body fat were gone to consume those less fortunate – the harvested protein was fat free and thus not biochemically accessible/digestible without some internal or injested fat to accompany and so the “sacrifice” provided no useful calories – I guess the other option to early harvesting of a shipmate prior to fat depletion would have been to use the corpse as bait and gone fishing? (maybe start with just fingers & toes as a trial before going whole hog?)
Organ meats?
There were protests before the prime minister’s office and he did what communists like
to do: control prices. He won’t lower taxes because tax income is forwarded to oligarchs in concession contracts. Poor people will starve. Fortunately we had good olive oil production in the last two years, there is plenty of oil sitting unsold in the rural areas.
The idea of nuclear war does not make sense. Who will nuke what? Nuke against military targets or against cities? What advantage could possibly be gained?
A nuclear explosion could be an accident.
Gail, that’s a good one…I have a favorite saying after my big toe was accidentally crushed by a thoughtless co worker..
“You can’t take back an accident”…
I believe we have been close a number of times to such an event.
From invading animals to a faulty computer chip worth less than a dollar, the alarmingly long list of close calls shows just how easily nuclear war could happen by mistake.

I reprint below, verbatim, a recent comment by you:
>>>Russia’s attack on Ukraine represents a demand for a new world order that, over the long term, will support higher prices for fossil fuels, especially oil. Such an economy would probably be centered on Russia and China. The rest of the world economy, to the extent that it continues to exist, will largely have to get along without fossil fuels, other than the fossil fuels that countries continue to produce for themselves. Population and living standards will fall in most of the world. <<<<<<

Then, when CNN, BBC, MSNBC, etc. sound the alarm that there’s a new deadly COVID-19 variant on the loose we’ll know to immediately inject ourselves, whether we’re at home, at work, at school, or at the grocery store.

“The neon shortage is a bad sign. Russia’s war against Ukraine has ramifications for the chips that power all sorts of tech…
““These basic materials — parts of the supply chain — there’s so many tiers down in most supply chains that people don’t think about it,” Willy Shih, a business administration professor at Harvard, told Recode. “That’s a function of the complex web that we have woven over the last couple of decades.””

https://pulsenews.co.kr/view.php?sc=30800024&year=2022&no=249180
I can see why. It is difficult to see how any local production of rare gases could arise, even if a tariff protects against low-cost imports.
It seems refining rare gasses is straight forward. Liquefy air then raise temperature to boil off the various fractions. Just takes lots of energy.
Ha ha Neon shortage a ‘bad sign’
A society that is not very complex probably doesn’t use much helium. We are moving in that direction.
A broad class of quantum computers need liquid Helium to function. It is used as a refrigerant to reach temperatures near absolute zero.
When they work, would it make more sense to put them in deep space, close enough to zero Kelvin?
Dennis L.
In space behind a sun shade is a good start 2.7 degrees . Then need to get to 0.001 degrees
No shortage of helium, sun is full of it, simple trip. Wonderful, ecological gas, release it and it floats off into space, probably steady state.
We as humans are not done, it is a phase change; all is well in the universe. Think of plate tectonics, serious rearrangement, it all worked out pretty well.

There are definitely limits to aid to the poor.
We will need to get away from the feed all idea to a system of select a group to save and feed the selected group.
Such an approach will be a hard sell, if people understand it.
Agricultural peoples worked things that way, and probably hunters, too: in a real crisis, certain sexes and ages would get priority for food, the rest get less or next-to-nothin – dying first if the crisis was prolonged. .
This was accepted, however, because it was both the tradition – submitted to by all – and patently sensible in times of scarcity.
Equal shares for all leads to community death.
English peasants organised themselves like this as late as the early 19th century.
Raiding neighbours to get hands on their stores was, of course, another option in tribal times.
Makes one consider becoming a medicine man, they always were old in the movies, didn’t get hit by many arrows.

Not too late to re-train, Dennis….
Human relations will get interesting when there is not enough to go around, and then the principle of ‘selection’ will kick back in.
Ultimately humans will have to make value judgements about who lives and who does not.
Then we are likely to find out what people really ‘believe’, and what they are really willing to do to make it so.
Those who keep insisting that ‘all humans should die’ are liable to find themselves pretty high on the list.
Those ‘pessimists’ have volunteered themselves, they would be the most ‘disgusting hypocrites’, and value judgements would be made about their moral cowardice.
History has a way of ‘doing its thing’.
“Those who keep insisting that ‘all humans should die’ are liable to find themselves pretty high on the list.”
Yup, too many bad vibrations. One of the Viet Nam era movies had a crusty character saying that prior to battle.

Doge much snowflake? Oh noes!
I don’t think the world is in need of pretentious optimists that can’t face a few one-liner ugly truths. No?
Still wanna persist in your egotistic fantasy when IC wraps up for this time in the perpetual wheel of folly? Of course you do. 👍
And as we know a Hollywood movie is an accurate description of reality when push comes to shove.
/s
No; one cannot make value judgements based on the words of others. Those could have been spoken/written with insincerity, jest or in frustration. Can’t handle it? Scroll past or just walk away from the source. I do it all the time with self entitled princesses that perpetuates the egotistic fantasy straight up my face.
There is only one reliable way of determining if someone got intent behind the words and that’s through the actions IRL.
Observation is such a powerful antidote against BS and egotistic fantasy projection of how the offending “persona” should reflect yourself.
I think “we” had enough of that for a few centuries now. Yes?
Truth is only revealed from temptation and their observable outcomes.

All else in is basically projections from self entitled hypocrites. Or in simpler terms.
Pure bovine manure.
Maybe that is what is going on with the self organizing we live in.
Dennis L.
It is not organized by itself. Nature is “organized” by the laws of physics and evolutionary process – which is governed by physics.
In that sense the whole universe is self-organizing which makes the statement whimsical.
Would you consider the connecting rod and piston in a tractor engine to be self-organizing as to enable the conversion of fossil fuels to work? Or is it intentionally designed according to thermodynamic principles of heat and work, and built to achieve exactly just that?
It is all process with intent. The appearance of it being self-organizing “magic” is an inability of the mind to grasp complex systems.
It is really hard to take the Guardian’s cluelessness seriously.
Maybe the Guardian should urge politicians, MPs and other readers to exert pressure to stop the conflicts in these areas, which are creating the emergencies. They could pressure the USA to give back Afghanistan’s money so the country could feed itself.
They could publish a list of SANCTIONS on countries and individuals fomenting conflicts and hiding their stolen assets in offshore havens.
Bandaids just will not work.

““Lebanon faces food crisis with ‘no wheat orders since Ukraine war began’.”
Maybe the USA and European countries should have thought of this before it provoked Russia into this defensive war. But those countries wanted and want a bigger war. Anything to bring Russia to its knees. All else is “acceptable” collateral damage.
The war is because the bourgeois ‘liberals’ just ‘care so much’ about ‘human rights’ and human welfare. At least that is what the Daily Mail keeps saying.
These are still early days into the rupture of the globalised economy, and it does not look like it is going to work out very beneficially for the world’s poor.
But, it is because they ‘care so much’. /s
They have Think Tanks that think of everything .. and they war game everything… they obviously knew what would happen if they went to war…
So they didn’t go to war.. but they need the war as an excuse to power down cuz BAU is in its death throes now.
Everything is a matrix.
Not a big surprise!
Not enough grain to go around is a huge problem!
I was asked to comment on if there was an exodus of high level staff from international corporations in Hong Kong during the 2019 protests. When I said the data we are privy to did not indicate that — and commented that it’s not that easy for someone in one of these roles to just get up and leave (e.g. a partner in a law firm…) and find a new job elsewhere.
The journalist found two people who were leaving – both plebes (if I recall one was a teacher) and ran with the story of an exodus
It’s all fake.

Are we suddenly encountering the backside of these COVID injections and the original MO, to weaken the immune system to make people more susceptible to other infections and cancers? The original SARS- COV2 and the mRNA injections are the set up for the real strike by “secondary” processes- easier to cover up.
Cherchez le HIV genome sequence insertions into the spike protein!
It seems so. The most recent “unadjusted” data shows vacxed with 3-4x the infection rate of unvacxed.
“This is data from an unimpeachable source: the UK government in its week 32 to 35 report for 2021. Look at the rates per 100,000 for doubly vaxxed vs. unvaccinated people for age ranges 40 to 80. Yup, you are more likely to be infected if you are vaccinated in each sub-range within 40 to 80. So there is no age confounding on this data. It’s simply impossible to explain. It shows why vaccine mandates are making you more susceptible to infection for people 40 to 80, not better.”

My estimates
0.5 per 1000 dead by vax
1.5 per 1000 life long maimed by vax
2.0 per 1000 dead by virus in UK
0.5 per 1000 dead by virus in HK
Still want to avoid vax death and maiming unless you are in an extremely high risk group, say over 80 and obese with lung disease. Of course the death rate may be more honestly reported by HK in which case no one needs vax just take the risk.
current deaths per day rate in UK about 1 in 600,000 a tiny rate
Thus, we will be seeing a further increase in cases and deaths. However, this increase may prove short lived, and new variants will take over in some undetermined future time.
The Covid pandemic is far from over and, likely, is still in the beginning stages. The glimpse of the future is in this deeply disappointing and heart wrenching Reddit post:

The trend line says 25,000 in hospital by end of the year.
At some point, all of the money/resources that countries are throwing at COVID becomes unsustainable. Only rich people are revaccinated. Only rich people are hospitalized. No one keeps track of what is happening.
Yes, but the US far outspends other countries on healthcare and it does not seem to work. Health care other than acute is largely the anthesis of good public health; nature has worked that one out.
Who remains standing might be “chosen” for different characteristics than money.
in Canada the health and care needs of the majority of people seems comparable with those in the USA.
In Canada if you get sick you get cared for, In the USA it is a financial catastrophe.
I dont live in either place, just basing that on relatives who do.
same people, so something is adrift there in terms of finance and expected profit
Ba.2 has finally become the dominant variant in the UK and is wreaking havoc, with cases and hospitalizations rising. (as I have demonstrated above, rising almost exclusively among the vaccinated and boosted)

I read this with a sinister smile 🙂
“… Ba.2 has finally become the dominant variant in the UK and is wreaking havoc, with cases and hospitalizations rising. (as I have demonstrated above, rising almost exclusively among the vaccinated and boosted)
… Ba.2 is a more contagious variant. The findings from UK Technical Briefing are indeed alarming:
Ba.2 is 27% more contagious than Ba.1 (page 3)
Persons who had Delta show poor immunity to Ba.2
Persons who had Ba.1 show poor immunity to Ba.2
…The Covid pandemic is far from over and, likely, is still in the beginning stages.”
At last, it looks like CV19 might be getting interesting here in the UK.
It seems like some other parts of Europe are also encountering Ba.2. Doesn’t sound good.
Sounds like we are moving in the direction of the catastrophe that Bossche warned about
The infamous UKHSA Vaccine Surveillance Report started as a great tool by the vaccinators to showcase incredible successes of Covid Vaxx. But, as time went on, success was no longer in the cards, and the reports displayed grimmer and grimmer failure of vaccines in the UK.
As I said many times, the bad news from the UK in no way should be interpreted as the UK being somehow a bad country. To the contrary, the UK had an amazing statistical agency that (up until now) honestly reported the goings in the vaxxed world.
Finally, it seems, just as Scotland did, the UK will discontinue case reports by vaccination status. They gave the lamest excuse of “ending free Covid testing” that somehow makes them unable to add up vaccinated vs unvaccinated cases? Come on.
The so called “free Covid testing” is likely ending for similarly sinister reasons, specifically because they want to downplay cases as they keep increasing in the UK.
Well, these UKHSA reports were good while it lasted. The truthful cases by vaccination status reports, showing the ignominous ending of the UK vaccination campaign, will be available no more starting April.

I suspect these news presenters got a lot more than they bargained for when they asked journalist Laura Logan to comment. This is brilliant.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/yrwD23iIvO3M/
Truly wonderful!
She’s Lara Logan. Sorry for misspelling her name—a South African journalists and a fairly well known face in American TV news, although I doubt Fox or CNN will be asking her on if she goes on sanctifying the Putin devil.
She’s been off the TV screens since last year when she compared St. Anthony Fauci to a N*A*Z*I war criminal, although I don’t know which particular one she was referring to.

Here is a very interesting history of Klaus Schwab’s intellectual lineage and the origins of WEF:
https://unlimitedhangout.com/2022/03/investigative-reports/dr-klaus-schwab-or-how-the-cfr-taught-me-to-stop-worrying-and-love-the-bomb/
Early in its history, the WEF vigorously opposed the Club of Rome and Limits to Growth. So clearly they are aware of the predicament. Does the recent WEF agenda secretly account for limits or does it ignore/defy them as it appears in their public statements?
New world order… when we are obviously on the last legs of our oil fuelled industrial civilization?
And there’s Klaus – looking a bit too much like a James Bond Villain
Did it not occur to people that this is a massive stitch up — to deflect from the real agenda – which is extermination.
No matter how many times people get suckered… they keep getting suckered
I agree that’s possible, whether for the CEP or some other plan.
I’m interested in why you think the bad guys would choose COVID as the route for a CEP (which will surely leave some alive — I’m not aware of any viral pathogen that has taken out a whole, abundant species of animal). Why not something more direct, quick, and presumably total, such as nuclear war? Of course, that could still be coming.
Cuz nuclear war would not immediately kill 8B… it would collapse BAU and the Hunger Games would begin – murder – rape – cannibalism
Devil Covid will spread fast and kill epic numbers – those not dead will hide in their closets and not engage in murder rape or cannibalism – cuz they are afraid of the DC – they will starve to death
My estimate nuclear war will kill two billion within 90 days by starvation. Of course some hundreds of millions will dying instantly or within one month of radiation.
The pope is an idiot saying restart from scratch. Only the lucky few in out of the way place that have something left will continue on.
But they say the pope is infallible!😇
Nukes on their own are not enough… they can be used as a fait accompli or better still .. the icing on the extinction cake… basically to mop up any hangers on once the CEP is in full force…
Billions dying from DC — the rest terrified and locked at home watching CNN terrifying them even more… out of food and boiling leather shoes… then BAM you hid the sad bastards with thousands of nukes… then the spent fuel ponds come into play….
Total 100% Complete – Annihilation. No murder – no rape – no cannibalism – minimal suffering.
And the Elders take a bow … and sink under the waves.
Speaking of sinking under the waves… this is a good listen:

And btw… let me mention again…. similar to Utopia … there was this:
The world’s biggest, most opulent ship sets out across the Atlantic on its maiden voyage. Proclaimed to be unsinkable — and hailed as a testament to modern achievements in manufacturing and transportation — the ocean liner is pushed to its limits in an effort to make the crossing in record time. But a collision with an iceberg and an inadequate supply of lifeboats doom nearly 2,500 souls to a watery grave.
This grimly captivating novella was first published in 1898, 14 years before the Titanic disaster. Robertson’s fictional telling of what befell the Titan features some extraordinary parallels to the real-life tragedy, including the size of the ship, its horsepower, and its route. The eerily prescient tale will fascinate both history buffs and lovers of adventure stories.

From what I’ve read online, mortality from the infection with “natural” Nipah virus among humans who are unfortunate enough to develop symptoms is between 40 and 70 percent. At present, there is no effective treatment, only supportive care. Also, the long-term condition of survivors of the disease is often poor.
To avoid catching it, your best bet is to socially distance yourself from fruit bats and sick hogs—but that’s only common sense.
They’ve been rolling out extermination scenarios (in the sense that you can see the general trend if you look hard) a little too slowly to frighten most of us, but when you put education , political, health care, food/water systems together with a whole bunch of other systems that very few control, it’s hard to see how our core species wouldn’t all be in the bullseye. I can think of other ways to deal with the world’s problems, but Klaus apparently cannot. Somehow, I don’t think he’ll win, but it’s going to take something stranger than I can imagine to outflank him.
“I don’t think he’ll win, but it’s going to take something stranger than I can imagine to outflank him.”

Plausible deniability.
Also, fertility effects unknown. Remember, they did want the jab to be worse (more potent), but settled for (and were allowed to produce) a wider-than-usual range of uncertainty in the active ingredient. This was in the “Broken Bioweapon is Safer” video (found on bitchute iirc), from the “how bad is my batch” people..
I would guess WEF is going with mixed results. Some areas grow and some die. Go with growth policies and hope scheme plan to be one of the lucky areas.
Interesting:
.. and the Central Intelligence Agency sniffed up “the best Germans”.
As Mrs Logan said in the interview shared above:
“The Germans planned for a 1000 year Reich” and they had very powerful supporters on the other side of the planet….
Worth reading, if poorly written.
Kahn was an interesting figure, clearly at a higher intellectual and imaginative level than either Kissinger or Schwab – the latter in particular being entirely devoid of empathy and imagination, a poor imitator and disciple.
He should have stuck to running factories, not ‘imagining the future of humankind’…..
The final quote from Kahn is certainly worth reflecting on.
“Red alert”: Political and military leadership moves away from Moscow – Bad development
Putin cancels Lavrov’s visit to China
There has been intense concern for a few hours now as it seems that immediately after Putin’s speech some kind of “increased nuclear readiness exercise” is taking place in Moscow.
In particular, there is a mass movement of the Russian military and political leadership, which is moving away from Moscow in an easterly direction, mainly to Siberia.
Several planes of the Russian “Special Flight Squadron” dedicated to the transfer of Russian government officials took off.
At the same time, Russia’s elite is leaving the country. Specifically, a mass take-off of private jets from Moscow to Dubai was detected this morning.
Concerns are growing as the Kremlin says “the United States has used nuclear weapons in Japan since World War II and has no right to preach to us.” This seems like an excuse for the imminent use of some chemical and even tactical nuclear weapons .
There are movements that take place and are “extremely rare” and unfortunately do not foretell something good. On the contrary, maybe in the next 72 hours something very unpleasant will happen.

Extraordinary NATO Summit in Brussels, 24 March 2022
https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/news_193325.htm
Well, his speech was a clear and definite departure from the fifth column. He surely knows how to throw me some red meat. Those in said column who have jets jetted out. From now on it’s going to be Glazyev in charge of the economy, sovereign money, and in a month, a basket of currencies (really rubles and yuans) for oil. This should be enough to take the US to the nuclear threshold. Honestly, I did not think he had it in him. We were going to the nuclear threshold all along, the question is whether it is easier to manage within a theater of substantial petrodollar erosion, or with nuclear warheads 12 minutes from Moscow. IMO, the former, specially since there will be elites in the West who prefer life to death.
Nuclear war? That sounds like a temporary solution at best. There would be a hell of a hangover if that happened.
If the west went with the n option, Their own people will KILL them in outrage, especially after punishing the home team with sanctions and co vid b.s all this time. Choose another path.
I understand 30% of USA population don’t mind a nuclear attack?
The elite seem to be leaving Moscow, perhaps concerned about Moscow getting bombed. Strange situation!
Hopefully this is a signal that the Final Solution is very close.
Everything is coming together nicely right now.
BTW – when the Titanic went down … most people initially refused to get into the boats — they could not believe what was happening and preferred to stay on the warm ship rather than be dumped into the ocean in small boats that were uncomfortable … and they could not believe such a behemoth could sink…
There ain’t no boats to get into as this Titanic lists….
And consider the size of this behemoth …. this has the weight of thousands of years of civilization .. of great wealth — of science… of art.. of literature… of medicine … of architecture… of industry…
Bill and Elon and the Pope and the Queen and Justin Bieber and Kim and Paris… and Tom Cruise … and Wayne Gretzky… and Warren and Charlie .. and Klaus… and TruDUNCE…
This is like a 5 billion tonne ship — without boats — about to head straight for the bottom.
Isn’t it epic?
We are in a simulation –

No. Our government is an occupied one.

Just nuke everything… it’s time to go
I totally agree, just get it over with and Nuke the F789ing planet. Humans are a cancer and the Idi.ots and Moreons in Washington deserve to go first. All i’m asking for is a time and date so I can setup my beach chair, put on my shades and wait for the white flashing light. A painless death as it’s over in an instant.
to play Wimbledon in the early 2000s, did Americans have to denounce George the Invader?
Uh no because most of the idiots believed in George… you voted for him too I’m sure
Perversely religious terminology: ‘renounce, recant, repent’ Satan and all his works.
Or end up on the holy bonfire, I suppose!
Going down in an orgy of madness and lies…..
I recall grade 8 confirmation (I went to Catholic School escaping in Gr 9) and the priest asking us if we renounced the teachings of the Devil..
Hahahaha.. what a primitive MOREONIC ceremony… I’d like to do it all over again — first I’d ask what the teachings of the devil were…. I am sure he teaches all the fun stuff… then I’d shout out ‘NO! I embrace the teachings of the devil — hot loose women — surely the devil gets all the best gear so ya I stand with the devil — disco balls and techo and VIP rooms – hell ya… I stand with the devil!’
Murmurings among the others gathered for the confirmation ceremony… a rebellion is brewing … does the devil offer pure bolivian blow — he does I shout… and how hot are the women hollers another – as hot as you like em I say – it’s hell mate — it’s hot hot hot down there… an attractive female and her se xy friends shout – can we dance in hell – of course you can! – can we dance in bikinis? — you absolutely must cuz it’s hot… but there are cool mist sprinklers to cool you off…
We embrace the devil — we renounce Jesus and his bullshit tea parties with scones – we renounce these re ta r ded angels… f789 them all and f789 Jesus… we vote for the devil… we vote for Bolivian Gear and endless rave parties…
Who wouldn’t?…. seriously … who .. woundn’t.

“But the decisions made by our intellectually bankrupt technocracy, and cheered on by a nation of social media fools, over the past six years – starting with the mismanagement of Brexit, followed by the crushing of the economy via Covid lockdowns and restrictions, and now with a package of sanctions that will hurt us far more than the Russians – have now set off a cascading collapse of western civilisation.”
straightforward and clear opinion here.
Europe goes boof!
Great Russian Reset, baby.
There is no way those things were discussed with KSA… we live in a Matrix… the MSM is not telling you the truth … you will never know if Boris even went there let alone what was discussed
There is NO f789ing way he prostrated himself … if anything he went to discuss the next phase of the CEP and get an update on how deplete the KSA oil fields are
To think that the men who run the world are bumbling fools like norm and mike … these authors need to give their heads a shake…. these guys are playing chess games within chess games within chess games…
Just look at how they are running billions around by their noses with this CovCON…
Then there is Russia – is there even a war going on???? Might that not all be for show (ya you gotta make it look real so you missile a few targets…) to distract from the exploding virus situation (despite mass vax rates)…. as they prep for the end game. What sheer genius to make this happen – to get every leader’s support … every MSM outlet’s support… social media on board.. Google… all for what was initially just another flu.
