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.
Trading Suspended; Ronshine Auditor Resigns: Evergrande Update
(Bloomberg) — China Evergrande Group and its other units were suspended in early Hong Kong trading Monday, according to exchange filings that didn’t give reasons for the halt. The Paper reported Sunday the developer will sell a 30% stake in a Nanjing property company. Elsewhere, Ronshine China Holdings Ltd. said it’s unable to publish its audited full-year results by a March 31 deadline after the resignation of its auditor.
Land Sales Slump in First Two Months (8:15 a.m. HK) Chinese local governments’ revenue from land sales contracted 29.5% in January-February from the same period a year ago, the biggest slump for the period since at least 2015 when comparable data began, data from the Ministry of Finance showed Friday. The figures underscore the impact the continued housing slump is having on government finances at a time when local authorities are under enormous pressure to bolster economic growth by spending more on infrastructure. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. estimates that combined income from land sales and property-related taxes from the real estate sector shrank by 23.5% in January-February from a year ago, versus a 0.4% gain in December.

Shhhh, Doctor Kory said Congress secretly took Ivermectin.
theegg.house/dr-kory-reveals-several-members-of-the-congress-have-secretly-used-ivermectin-in-covid-19-treatment/
Critical care physician and leading Ivermectin advocate, Dr. Pierre Kory, recently revealed on social media that many members of Congress were already given the highly controversial drug, Ivermectin, as part of their COVID-19 treatment plan. He added that they successfully conquered the virus without ever being admitted to a hospital.
On October 7, Kory tweeted that between “100-200 United States Congress Members (plus many of their staffers & family members) with COVID .. were treated by a colleague over the past 15 months with ivermectin & the I-MASK+ protocol.”
Odds of ending up in the hospital are next to 0 for healthy people …
Yup we are living in a world where it’s “rules for thee and not for me”. But that’s okay because hospitals are told to give Remdisivir aka death is near instead of safe and effective alternative treatments.

Bosschy is not commenting on these developments… but I suspect he is watching this horrified….
Nobody including Bosschy wants to acknowledge the intent — they prefer to try to convince themselves that governments are making yet another terrible mistake…. to think otherwise (in spite of the evidence) = the deepest despair.
Not seeing much of that 2019 Covid Vaccine story in my journey around the substacks and telegram… biggest story in history being ignored… the implications are too grim… people are trying to unsee it ….cuz it is proof that this is no mistake
It’s reminiscent of the people in the Soviet Union thinking:
‘It’s just these local bosses putting us through Hell,but if Stalin knew he’d sort things out, he’d stop it!’
It’s no mistake, how can it be?
It’s necessary to come to terms with reality: that governments, the health bureaucrats, Big Pharma, are all colluding to make people sick in huge numbers, and put them through horrible and unnecessary deaths.
Sure, no doubt because they realized they borked their economies. These incompetent leaders think you can stop-start the global economies with a light switch. It doesn’t work that way does it?
Large scale economies are like steering a large cargo ship. When you steer the ship the course of the ship takes place a mile or so away. What governments are seeing now is that the lockdowns wrecked their economies. It just took a couple of years before the politicians realized hey, no ones making any money and we need revenue to keep running our governments.running.
But they continue to push the boosters knowing they are making the situation worse…
If there was not sinister intent then now would be the opportunity to claim victory.
Remove all restrictions. Open borders completely.
End the injections — because we won – Omicron is nothing so no need for more injections.
Nope. Inject the children. Move to the 4th or 5th shot… keep the ad campaigns running non-stop. Keep the propaganda machine pumping out the message.
No way in hell this is about saving economies… we on OFW know BAU was done in 2019. The reason for the CovCON is because it was about to blow up. The people running this shit show will definitely know that and more.
This is the kill shot. Get as many injected CovDIOTS infected as possible. For the purpose of encouraging mutations

Feel sorry for the average working person…it was brought out that because of the real estate meltdown of 2009, home construction cut back and Now 4 million houses shortage.
Just had a guy at work purchase a $450,000 house …says that prices will go up
another just bought a beach condo and a young guy is looking to buy that just transferred in to the area.
All I see in my area being constructed are Apartment buildings…
We have buildings being built near us that are not really apartment buildings. They consist of six bedrooms with adjoining bathrooms, plus a common kitchen and living room. Bedrooms are rented out separately in these units.
These are really a newly built version of shared apartments that have been available in big cities. Young people who could not afford an apartment of their own would rent a bedroom in a shared apartment building.
I understand that in China, some of the jobs for young people getting a university degree come with a space in a shared apartment, somewhat of this type. I don’t know how many are packed into an apartment. I know that college dorms in China (6 to a room, I believe) are much more tightly packed than US college dorms.
Sharing a kitchen is something you simply don’t want to do after the student years, how awful. As you say, fake ‘apartments’.
English rural workers often lived in cottages which shared a kitchen and a wash-house at the back, the cause of endless feuds and arguments.
hahahahaha

A growing battle over carbon capture and climate change riles Iowa
Carbon capture projects have sprung up around the country as a way to curb greenhouse gases. Opponents say it’s a false solution and a waste of money.
In September, Bonnie Ewoldt and her husband received certified letters from a company called Summit Carbon Solutions telling them that their 170-acre soybeans-and-corn farm in Crawford County, Iowa, was in the path of a pipeline that would carry carbon dioxide from ethanol plants across the Midwest to an underground storage site in North Dakota.
They’d never heard of such a thing.
We just thought it was ridiculous,” Ewoldt, 76, recalled.
A retired high school teacher and former local newspaper columnist, Ewoldt began researching the project online.
Summit had pitched the $4.5 billion pipeline several months earlier as “the world’s largest carbon capture and storage project,” saying it would help Iowa’s ethanol industry remain viable by lowering its carbon footprint as the country races to curb the effects of climate change. But first, Summit needed to bury the lines beneath thousands of parcels of privately owned property, mostly farmland.
Ewoldt worried about her farm being damaged, or losing its value. And she saw the project as a violation of the deep emotional connection farmers have to their land. She became an anti-pipeline activist, writing letters to Iowa newspapers and organizing an opposition group of fellow farm owners.
She is now among hundreds of holdouts who have formed an alliance with some environmentalists who say the pipeline project plan is unsafe, pointing to a 2020 leak at a carbon dioxide pipeline in Mississippi that sickened dozens of people. Summit says the pipeline will be safe during construction and once it starts carrying carbon dioxide, which will be in a purer form than the Mississippi pipeline.
The opponents also argue that the pipeline — one of dozens of carbon capture projects that have launched in recent years, backed by billions of dollars in federal subsidies — will do little to fight climate change.
Two more companies have announced plans to build similar pipelines in Iowa, making the state a focal point in an escalating battle over carbon capture, an old technology that has largely been used to squeeze more oil out of the ground but is now being promoted as an environmental cure.
There are only 12 such projects operating commercially in the United States, but, fueled by a blast of federal subsidies, there are 85 in development, 51 of which were announced in 2021 alone, according to the Clean Air Task Force, a nonprofit that advocates for the expansion of carbon capture.
Hey, I’m enjoying the freak show….
Both of the planet’s poles experience extreme heat, and Antarctica breaks records
March 19, 20228:29 PM ET
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
They are opposite seasons. You don’t see the north and the south (poles) both melting at the same time,” Meier told The Associated Press Friday evening. “It’s definitely an unusual occurrence.”
Earth’s poles are undergoing simultaneous freakish extreme heat with parts of Antarctica more than 70 degrees (40 degrees Celsius) warmer than average and areas of the Arctic more than 50 degrees (30 degrees Celsius) warmer than average.
Oy..still like my idea of building amega ac to Kool things off by nuclear generator
Everything I have seen says carbon capture and storage is only a ‘feel good’ approach. Trying to set up carbon capture and storage requires a lot of up front fossil fuel use. Furthermore, on an ongoing basis an increased amount of fossil fuel use is required to try to capture part of the CO2 that is emitted and store it. Then there is the issue of actually keeping the CO2 underground, without it escaping. If it accidentally escapes (even a few hundred years later), the escaped CO2 stays low to the ground and tends to smother whatever humans and animals live in that area. If nothing else, there are huge liability issues, trying to use such an approach. And CO2 stored underground tends to react with water to produce carbonic acid. It is not inert.

” you are talking about a massive humanitarian crisis that resulted from the suppression of early effective repurposed drug treatments.” (IVR & HCQ)
Exactly! Many people cannot believe this, however. Healthcare soul not deviate this far from what is right.
I couldn’t see any reference to that study I linked to.
Just keep digging…..
You know what emergency drug is in the contect of clinical trial? For one c19 triql we just get protocol update. The emergency drug to be used is IVM.
Analyze it as you wish. I am out of this discussion
Thanks, Genomir. A few words speak volumes.
mike – since you are so famous here in NZ – everyone I ask ‘do you know mike’ says – oh ya of course he’s our Nobel Laureate… I wonder if you could be the spokesman for Remdesivir?
You might start taking it now as a preventative measure because as we know – people who are fully jacked on the vax are in great danger https://www.headsupster.com/forumthread?shortId=1537
You could even do a music video – similar to this

try opening your mind a bit – please read/comprehend at least the bold below
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0171298521000395
Antigenic sites in SARS-CoV-2 spike RBD show molecular similarity with pathogenic antigenic determinants and harbors peptides for vaccine development
From Conclusions:
“..Due to the presence of antigenic sites with molecular similarity with antigens from different pathogenic organisms, parasites and virus, it can not (NSP60 assumed correction) be ruled out that COVID-19 patients may possibly suffer multi-organ failure as these pathogenic antigens are well known to cause serious damages to different vital organs of human body such as liver, kidney, blood, stomach, heart and bones. This is also clearly evident from complex etiology and pathophysiological outcomes (clinical features or symptoms) as observed in COVID-19 patients. Common in all seven antigenic sites predicted in SARS-CoV-2 was the presence of antigenic determinants from Mycobacterium and Plasmodium antigens suggesting that antimalarial and anti-TB drugs and vaccines could be a good treatment options for COVID-19. Besides this, anti-leprosy, anti-lyme, anti-plague, anti-anthrax drugs/vaccine etc are also expected to be beneficial in COVID-19 treatment. Moreover, individuals previously immunized/vaccinated or had previous history of malaria, tuberculosis or other disease caused by fifteen microorganisms are expected to display a considerable degree of resistance against SARS-CoV-2 infection. The possible explanation is that the memory B or T cells previously generated by the microorganisms (in context here) would get activated again upon SARS-CoV-2 infection (long-lived immunity to reinfection) because of the similar antigenic specificity and due to presence of common antigenic determinants in both. For some of the pathogenic antigens, whose antigenic determinants were predicted similar to SARS-CoV-2′s antigenic sites, very limited information was available in literature regarding their function…”
Now one possible leap of logic forward is if multiple pathogen antigens from Covid may inspire autoimmune response causing multiple organ failures may not be the best idea to inject mRNA into body/bloodstream (by passing initiation of innate immune response) and turning cells all over your body/ogan systems into long term (180 days and counting) antigen factories for multiple pathogen’s antigens resulting in multiple possible presentations of symptomology based upon historical exposures (noin-linear complex systems beginning point very important and difficult not predictible outcome – butterfly flapping wings and all that) – Benefit risk unknowable/unquantifiable apriori for mRNA – also impossible apostorie id data mangled/hidden – existing drugs better understanding and known risks
try opening your mind a bit
mike? hahahahaha.. never…
What can I say… sometimes I forget my meds and the naive eternal optimist erupts – Engineers always want to fix things, even maladjusted bots like Mike – FE helps to keep that suppressed when I cant stay supplied such that I am a properly cynical realist…perhaps it was the flurry of suggestions that we must be nice to our neighbors even if they are closet advocates for Crimes Against Humanity (oops did I say that…) where are those other pills…..
Hey, nostraightpath60, I was just linking to a study that saw no benefit. Personally, I was holding out hope for ivermectin but I haven’t seen a large scale RCT yet. The Oxford Principle study included ivermectin but has yet to report. https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2021-06-23-ivermectin-be-investigated-possible-treatment-covid-19-oxford-s-principle-trial
Hopes for the mRNA injectables live on despite horrific statistics out of places like the UK and Israel and blood-curdling (literally) anecdotes from all over the place. Now the vax pushers are fifth booster will see everybody all right. Apparently, hope springs eternal.
And yet, here in NZ, the vaccinated are about 5 times as likely to require hospital level care for COVID-19 at some point as those who’ve been boosted. 2.7 times as likely as doubly vaccinated.
5x worse for the vaccinated? It’s that bad? Wow
Perhaps the other way to look at the comments section is that is a representation of the pressures of collapse. Everyone reacts differently to that pressure. It does seem like there is more pressure these days.
I agree…..and it looks like the psychological pressures aren’t going to ease anytime soon…
The closer we get to Total Collapse (and the CEP) the more FE posts … cuz he’s so excited…HE is actually shuddering with anticipation
It’s kinda like the two dogs in the morning … they race down the stairs and wait at the door literally shaking … cuz it’s Rabbit Time!… Fast likes to work them up into a frenzy by shouting ‘where’s the rabbit – where’s the rabbit boys — go get the rabbit!!!’…. once they are beside themselves … Fast opens the door and they madly race out to give chase…
Hoolio is by far the faster dog — he probably red lines at about 50 km per hour… he can outrun the rabbits so the only way they escape him is if they dart into a hole … the problem we have now is too few rabbits… he’s been killing a lot of them … and the two dog patrol is terrorizing those that remain… the only time they come out of the holes now is at night…
Perhaps you need to slow down your comments. We don’t need so many of them.
Notice how a some OFWers are being triggered as the case is made for extermination….
We can thank Igor for his incredible work in that area — along with our good mate Bossche … over the past few days it’s become very difficult to hold a valid position that this is not an extermination plan…
Everything the Elders are doing points towards a Final Solution… I really like that video of the covid vaccine labelled 2019 hahahaha… that’s like a dagger through the heart of hope.
Hey norm – why was their a covid vaccine before there was covid? And why did the chicken cross the road? And why inject the children hahahahahaahaha… poor old norm… his brain is stewing in the Pfizer Juice hahahahahaahaha… like a punch drunk boxer ‘e is now.
Just because FE has been correct all along about the CEP and now we can see that the final phase is baked into the cake —- the knives are out….
Nobody likes a messenger who tells them they are about to be wiped off the face of the Earth…
Alas they are punching a 200 metre tall armoured giant… ooh ouch ouch … hahaha… oooh … haha… again ..and again .. ouch! hahaha…
Fast Eddy is here… to deliver the play by play …. HE is gonna guide you into extinction … why are you guys so mad? Lighten up… take a Xanax…. it’s not as if there is anything you can do about it…
hey norm … about that Covid thing… I’d like to endorse innate immunity — you know – that thing that you used to have before you f789ed it up with the injections — ya the thing that stops viruses from killing you .. fights off cancer etc etc etc…
Yep – it’s working very well for FE — it says thanks for the extra boost from the Hydroxy and Vit D and C…. and the Killer T Cells are telling FE that today is the day to ease back into some HIIT exercise… time to roll out the rower …
Oh and mike… FE needs to get HIS endurance up … cuz word is the vax passports are to be dropped in a few weeks… and FE will be back on the ice… it likely won’t be for long because DC will arrive sooner than later… but like you keep telling us … ‘gotta get around’… no harm done mike… no harm at all…
I don’t post often but I do hope Gail doesn’t start restricting posts. FE is a valuable poster to me. When he was gone for a year this forum was not the same. The whole crux of Gails writings is industrial civilization is in collapse. So what we want to know is who, what, where, when, and why is this going to happen. FEs comments go to the heart of this. Keep posting FE.
who is this FE person?
and does he know how much wood Woodchuck could chuck, if Woodchuck could chuck wood?

Gail, I think you had it right, in one of your comments below…when the world changes, the comments will change….
FE is a bellwether…a barometer…..if peace and love and sanity broke out worldwide tomorrow….I’m sure that he would comment much less….
We’ve had 2+ years of psychological warfare…the crushing of open debate….all societal institutions look to be compromised…inflation…shortages…increasing govt overreach….
With no end in sight…and nowhere to escape to.
I think that the calls to ban FE are a reflection of this….people, in general, are anxious and exhausted…whereas FE is energized….different reactions to the same pressures…
FE’s black, bad-taste, humour does of course often go too far , but his real offence in the eyes of the would-be censors is that he invariably pricks the bubble of their pretensions.
The ideal combination is black humour + good links.
You’re right Xabier….no one is better at pricking these bubbles than FE….a joy to behold!
Fast Eddy is quite delighted with the overall situation.
Happy Equinox,
-“FE is totally disruptive.
-The social group is structurally deficient in its tolerance of FE,
-Jesus was not all about unlimited tolerance.
-what’s needed is more genuine commenters to start saying the same thing.
-Gail has allowed her website to turn into a mental hospital,
-The comments section is a cespool, (..hey Bevis, he said cesspool he, heh, heh..)
-Sometimes your deep philosophy loses me, same with the Scottish stuff.
-Human groups function by getting rid of members who are a hindrance to the functionality of the group.
-So let us stop with that nonsense right there.
-FE is a pulse of life on a forum that could otherwise be a hangout for the walking dead.
-No one is forcing anyone to read anyones comments. Get it?
-I would never recommend anyone come here to read Gail’s excellent posts because they might by chance see the comment section.
-Blow if off, move on, most of us already know who we are going to read.”
Great stuff for a sunny Sunday. Hahahahah. FE bad!!! ..heh, heh,heh…
FE stir up sh*t….heh,heh.
Thanks Gail for providing a place for some observations from around the world.
Thanks fellow OFW earthlings for your updates.
I like when FE posts graphs and tables of cv stuff.
Too much of doctor x says DC, morons die,
Value news on dose five coming!
It doesn’t work that way – Fast Eddy will do what Fast Eddy pleases — I have pretty much zero control over HIM so to expect that you can influence HIM — is wasted breath
It does appear that Fast Eddy’s misanthropic tirades of the past couple of days have triggered a few people… silly human lovers … hahahahaha
I have been traveling and have a lot of catching up to do. It also happens to be my birthday. I am busy with a lot of things today.
My impression is that there is not enough “real news” for people to be writing about. They are worried and taking it out on each other. We hear two (or more sides) of every story, and we aren’t certain which side is correct.
Once there is more real news, the comments will change to report more on such news. It may be that those from Britain will no longer be in the comments. If there isn’t enough electricity for people in Britain to be hanging around the internet endlessly, there needs to some excuse to get people off the site.
If there isn’t enough electricity for people in Britain to be hanging around the internet endlessly.

Happy Birthday Gail. Thanks for sharing your impressions. I appreciate your fair treatment in this open forum.
Pennsylvania Power & Light just cut its dividends in half which accounts for a good chunk of my Dad’s retirement income. My Dad inherited the PPL stock and a family cabin from my grandfather. I remember someone posting here about the old tradition of children taking over a family business or property in return for repayment of the value to support the elders. Dad just put me on the deed of the cabin with the agreement that I will make up the difference in his quarterly dividend. Thanks for the opportunity to learn and share!
You are welcome!
Hippo Birdy Two Ewe Gail!
Cheers to Gail…. The Dame of Doom!
Happy Happy Happy Birthday Gail!!! Hope you had a great one (other than this little feisty debate)
Maybe we can all be good boys & girls & in honor of Gail’s Bday give it a break. Cease fire! If Russia can sacrifice their own to try to avoid killing civilians, we can find a way to peacefully hold our fire for the rest of the Bday and allow a peaceful travel recovery period 🙂

OFW’ers would have had a big cake made, and had eddy jump out of it as a big surprise
I vote to send a piece of cake to Nadal… it’s his day… he should have cake.
Ok so if it’s more serious than gas…. who is going to donate their heart for the transplant?
We want to think positive but hope for the best plan for the worst — right?
I heard that in China they sell the hearts of those who express dissent… and are put in gulags… they are extreme wokies in China… we are not quite there on OFW yet so nobody can drug any of us and remove our hearts by force — and donate to Nadal…. so it has to be voluntary…. but if nobody offers is it ethical for Nadal to buy a heart on Ali Baba?
I have a new episode for Fast Eddy’s Black Mirror… in this one you have a tennis star who rejects a vaccine and is banned from tournaments… his main competitor who is fully vaxxed ridicules him.. taunting him with ‘get vaxxed and you can play otherwise leave’
The competitor crashes out with a vax induced damaged heart — he pays some mafia people to kidnap the unvaxxed player — bring him to Shenzhen where they cut his heart out and replace the heart of the damaged player… and he returns to action a couple of months later winning the french open.
Happy Birthday Gail, thanks for your wonderful work!
Happy Birthday, Gail! I wiah you health and happiness 🙂
Happy BD Gail. Hope you take some time to rest and relax and enjoy some peace and good company.
I hope you had a good birthday Gail! Wishing you many happy returns
Not only might we not be in the comments Gail, we might well have moved on from this world.
I have to say I’m worried abut the potential for violence in the cities if food becomes very hard to get in early 2023.
Congratulations Gail!
Gail, your website probably is sadly about to get withdrawn from the UK anyway, certainly in its current comment format. The imminent Online Safety Bill very much looks like the end of ‘unregulated’ and ‘unchecked’ social formats.
You may recall that I warned about the Bill some months back, and that my warning was generally pooh-poohed on ‘moralistic’ grounds. Obviously that does not change reality.
It is now clear that the media platforms like WP will themselves be legally responsible for violations of the forthcoming Bill, and they will face humungous fines and the imprisonment of UK executives, so there is no way that they are going to risk websites with comment policies like on here.
Any websites that want to maintain access to UK readers probably need to seriously consider reform now, because the websites will simply be withdraw them from the UK. WP will take one look, and choose not to risk huge fines and imprisonment.
It is hard to see how you could maintain anything like your current policy, and maintain access to the UK. So, it may be a lost cause anyway, but it may be worth thinking about now because it will affect the long-term accessibility of your site in the UK. Maybe UK readers are not worth changing things for, anyway? The world is a bigger place.
No one else is liable to give you a heads up, so this may be the last one that you get before the Bill kicks in. You obviously have my sympathies with whichever course you choose, and it would be a real shame to lose you to the UK. So let me say thank you, now, it has always (or nearly always) been a pleasure.
> This is the end of free speech online
This week the long-awaited Online Safety Bill was published, which aims to make the UK the ‘safest place to be online in the world’ – in other words, the country with the most strictly regulated and censored internet of any liberal democracy. This mammoth piece of legislation was five years in the making, and those five years show. The bill is vast in scope, and terrifying in its implications for free speech.
Most significant is the ‘duty of care’ the bill imposes on social-media firms. Tech platforms will be legally required to prevent users from seeing both illegal content and ‘legal but harmful content’.
What actually constitutes ‘harmful content’ has yet to be revealed. If the Online Harms White Paper (published in 2020) is any guide, then this is likely to include content which might cause psychological harm, disinformation and trolling or harassment.
Once this list of harms is approved by parliament, the culture secretary will have the power to add more categories of harm, and firms will be required to report new ‘emerging harms’ to Ofcom, the UK’s communications regulator. So we should expect the bill’s censorious remit to expand over time.
Firms which fail to comply with the new duty-of-care requirements, or are obstructive or provide false information to Ofcom, can be fined up to 10 per cent of their annual worldwide revenue, and platform executives can be sentenced to up to two years in jail.
As if Big Tech were not censorious enough, the Online Safety Bill adds a further commercial incentive to censor. Firms are not going to risk fines to protect the free expression of Gary from Sidcup or Jemimah from Penge. The bill means that platforms, when confronted with content that might possibly edge somewhere near the threshold of ‘harmful’, will censor it first, and ask questions later.

VPN
I’d also shift to substack… there is a paid option on there as well — might be able to fund an OFW empire.
There are ways around that..some people now have to VPN to get to Russian sites because of Hedgemonic & Toady’s (EU/NATO) sanctions. If wordpess censors than may need alternative publish…if going to submit to tyranny & censorship then might as well go get your 4 doses of the vaxx next week to catchup/comply and call for hanging of protesting truckers. When the Jester is no longer welcome in Court then you better start sucking up and kissing king’s ass and other parts ehhh?! Gail could start preaching that ” renewables are gonna save us”..would be so many people here then that FE would OD from all the bolivian he would take trying to dismiss them all. Can’t stand the Jester’s heat or ignore him then dont belong in Court!
No point in trying to conform to the UK muzzle. Sorry to see you go Mirror and Taxi Driver Guy.
It may be that the media platforms will just remove the problematic websites completely. They tend to be very sympathetic to regulation polices, and they often go beyond what local laws demand, anyway. It may be that WP, FB, Tw, and others will internalise UK standards and employ them in the USA and elsewhere too. I would not be the least bit surprised. They may consider it to be the easier and anyway preferable option. In which case, Gail would be deprived of a platform, and it would be lost to all of us. It would be a real shame.
Mirror, It is certainly concerning that the freedom of online speech we’ve come to enjoy and to expect is now in the crosshairs of totalitarians and busybodies almost everywhere. If I loose access, I will simply spend much more time reading good books, and probably the quality of my reading will improve.
I assume you are an inveterate reader yourself, and so you will get by even if the entire spectrum of very amusing and addictive online political forms disappears and we are reduced to gardening and cookery blogs and fashion influencers performing on TikTok.
But thanks very much for the heads-up about this new UK legislation. As a Brit, I really despise what the country has become, and now we have the looming prospect of being ruled by King Charles the Third. That will be the final straw and the nation will fully enter the post-modern/post-industrial/post-scientific/post-liberal (in the Victorian sense) period that I like to call the Endarkenment.
Take care everyone, it used to be only schizophrenics thought that the walls were spying on them!
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FOFFsItXEAMRv9m.jpg
Thanks Ed, but I hardly ever post anyway. There are far greater losses. Apart from Mirror, who you mention, Harry, Minority, Norman and Xabier spring immediately to mind, but I’m sure there are many others.
To be clear the website is not being removed from UK. It is the citizens of UK that are having their ability to read the website removed.
So just an openVPN towards Japan or Korea, which have free vpns (no userid-password required) is all that Mirror or Minority need. And Japan at least is not going down the path described by Mirror.

OFW is highly regulated that is why it is no full of spam and ads and people calling each other rude names.
Obviously the regulators will take a look, as they will, and decide that for themselves. They will be trained professionals who will be trained on how to evaluate the status of a website. The British State very much means business with this Bill, and the civil service will take steps to train and to employ competent staff to get the job done in an effective manner. The state totally wants to do this, and it will do it effectively. Be in no doubt about that.
If there was enough energy left… eventually all dissent would be eliminated…
Holding up a blank piece of paper would be considered treason (it was in revolutionary Russia and it is now in Hong Kong).
If a MSM outlet dared to publish this (I have tried to buy ad space in the key MSM in NZ … rejected) https://pdfhost.io/v/nvrgA~sEJ_VAERS_Heart_Damage_V8 heads would roll.
Too funny after you asked for OFW to exclude Mr Ed.
Universe of wonder.
Take a look in the mirror, mirror
Under the terms of this proposed UK censorship, even the simple truth – fully backed with credible evidence – will be deemed ‘harmful’ if it contradicts the official narrative, so there is no way that any independent commentariat will survive under the new regime.
Totalitarianism and dictatorship pure and simple.
Before that happens let’s hope Vlad says well… f789 it … launch everything.
Even if the world was not ending — I’d vote to blow it to bits rather than live like a zombie.
Okay, something a great deal simpler.
Recent auction of a JD, 1999 tractor with 600 hours, final bid was around $160K, original cost in the $80Ks. It is not tier four, three, two or maybe even one; easy to repair, maintain.
Has gold gone up that much since 1999? If one can find old machinery of a sort that will have value and make money… That stuff is going up too. Not all that glitters is gold.
Dennis L.
Interesting point. Probably much easier to keep in repair than the new tractors.
Has gold gone up that much since 1999.
31st December 1999 – Gold USD 288
19th March 2022 – Gold USD 1925
668 % increase in price.
Thanks, I was too lazy to look that one up.

Black Rock needs to corner that market and push the prices up 4x
Then their CEO Finkstone can be invited onto CNBC and be feted — and offered Jim Cramer’s grand daughters — the 3 of them jump in the limo and are escorted to the studios of Por n hu b (which is now bigger than Apple Tesla and Samsung combined)… to film an episode of the Wildly Popular — CEO Sleaze…
This is the pay per view program that is watched by nearly 2 billion MOREONS each paying $100 a pop (a pop hahaha)…. it’s a 50/50 share with PH and the CEO sharing the proceeds…
Later that evening (after the audience reloads)… it’s Ms Teen Po r n St ar… another PPV property of PH… here we have perfectly normal well-raised 16 year olds who just happen to be smokin hot… enticed by Big Big Money to perform in a p r n gig…..
The way it works is the audience — using the PH app — commits to a prepay on the PPV — should the girl be willing to commit… initially its only a few thousand dollars — and most of the girls say Eeeee Uuuuuu…. gross…. but each week as the numbers mount … hundreds of thousands… then millions … and so on ….
And the girl is followed in real time as she discusses this with her boyfriend (but Jim – think of all the stuff we could buy with that money!) … her friends urge her to ‘just do it’
The PH execs and marketing people know how to work an audience… the girl is featured in alluring photo shoots in skimpy outfits… the data folks are measuring the uptake on PPV commits and are drilling down to the fine details …
Guys — we need more sky blue outfits… the comms were off the charts with that last one… that chat room monitoring software indicates hair tousled is in demand … let’s try that — what do the comms say team — comms are surging … great GREAT!
Let’s try some se xy dancing … not too sleezy though… the comms usually drop on that — we’re not a f789ing p or n show here are we …. ya they want the girl next door / sl ut …. that drives comms… ok ya – let’s get her out at the club with her friends… a little faux lessie action — try that — comms are busting loose on that… great great …
It’s all very scientific…

Ok – why inject the children norm?
I own two 50+ year old Fergie 135 tractors for exactly that reason; I can maintain them with very few tools, plus they still make new parts for them. I can run them on used engine oil that comes from these modern tier 1/2/3 machines because the oil is so much ‘finer’ these days.
I did, in a previous life, own some million dollar machines back in the day that would come to a complete halt if some minor contaminant would enter the fuel injection system.
Most of my vehicles come from the late 1980’s early 90’s; anyone remember what a carburetor is?
OFW is not a safe space.
‘Human groups function by getting rid of members who are a hindrance to the functionality of the group.’
Do I ‘hear’ Group-Think mentioned in OFW?!!
And thats why OFW is interesting. The wokesters out there have banned any questioning of ‘The Science’ whether is be the miracle of renewables, Biden, Nato, Big Pharma, Big Finance etc etc.
Those that are a hindrance to the narrative have to seek refuge outside the ‘functionality of the group’.
Tough place full of outcasts…and then along come the wokesters…
That is a straw man. If you think that you can base the functionality of a social group on straw man arguments then you are going to be severely disappointed. All that you will achieve is group failure.
FE is totally disruptive. He imposes his views on everyone else, and attempts to shut down any perspective but his own. He boasts of his list of participants that he has driven off the website.
That needs to end. He needs to be kicked off in order to facilitate the expression of other points of view. Otherwise other participants simply leave, or do not join in the first place.
The social group is structurally deficient in its tolerance of FE, and it is hindering the attainment of the objectives of the group by repelling other participants. That needs to end.
“FE is totally disruptive. He imposes his views on everyone else, and attempts to shut down any perspective but his own.”
He does not. He has his opinions and others voice their’s as well. His opinion is in polar opposites to Norm, Mike and Duncan, Anna. They still post or can post if they want.
That is the beauty of OFW. You can choose to say what you like including the Moon Landing was fake, Covid vaccines injure and kill people. Others can choose to say the opposite. I don’t stop reading comments made by Mike, Norm and Duncan or Anna even though at times I don’t fully agree with them. Sometimes I do agree with them.
You just have allowed Fast Eddy to crawl under your skin and prefer he just went away. There are others who enjoy his comments and banter and no, i’m not wanting you to leave or to stop commenting.
This place does just fine with self moderation.
“FE is totally disruptive”
And we go now to our war correspondent for a reaction from Fast Eddy:
https://youtu.be/vRp7tYWnJJs
Ain’t no f789ing napalm in Yookrain — is ‘er…
FE is cool!
Coal burning, Canadian, hockey player
Hey guess what – I am gonna try burning blue gum … dumped 16 cubes of it out back the other day…. not because of concern for the environment … rather if we have to shift into the cottage due to Devil Covid and the End of the World … the fire only burns wood… so it’s a bit of a hedge.
Mike Dunc, Anna, myself et al put across ‘opinions’ which conflict with others. Some may be valid, some not.
what we do not do is scream irrelevant abuse and obscenities at those we disagree with.
If a person of a female persuasion on OFW disagrees with me, I do not inform her that she is ‘fit only for the streets’.
that, Rodster, is not banter.
FE is the lowest of the low, and he should have been gone a long time ago. There is absolutely no excuse for the failure to do that. Anyone who disagrees is not fit to be on the internet either.
The supposed ‘friends’ of ‘free speech’ often do far more harm to it than its professed enemies. Likely because they tend to be the types that normal society tends to eliminate, anyway.
So all of their dysfunction floods out, and then the authorities have all of the excuses that they could ever need to shut down free speech.
It is hard to see how the measures that are now to be taken by the British State are not justified, mainly by the people who profess to support ‘free speech’ and then do everything in the power to undermine the case for it.
Let us not pretend that Gail has done the argument for free speech any favours by allowing the likes of FE to act in that way. Like many others, she has prepared the ground for the complete loss of free speech in the UK.
In a world were up is down and 1+1=7 …
Being designated as the lowest of low can only be taken as a massive compliment…
Fast Eddy has no interest in accolades and such a blatant attempt at sycophancy will not help your cause.
But it was a nice try.
so by shutting down free speech she would have saved free speech.
nice logic MOTL.
Have to say I much prefer Eddie’s rants than your long postings on all things British.
As I have said before there is an arrow key that works well.
So get a VPN and we will still see you or bye bye it was nice having you along.
There’s more to this than meets they eye…
If Mirror wanted to censor out FE (or just avoid him) he can do as FE does to some when the comments pile up too high – search the username and mass delete. Mirror is on FE’s list for that treatment specifically because he drones on about that UK stuff…. dull dull dull…
Mirror (and others) cannot handle the truth – and the get angry when it’s force fed to them… and now they are beginning to sense that FE has been delivering a little bit too much truth for their liking.
I suspect Fast Eddy taking an early victory lap celebrating The End of Humans has ruffled a few feathers… but Fast Eddy would respond with :
One particularly horrific experiment Fauci’s NIAID apparently paid for involved locking beagle puppies’ heads in boxes with sand flies, which were given hour-long intervals to feast on the poor dogs’ faces. Weary of the suffering dogs’ helpless cries, the experimenters arranged to have them “de-barked” – a barbaric procedure known as a cordectomy.
Fast Eddy has been kind enough to survey the audience asking if anyone believes that humans are not deserving of extinction – and why.
No takers.
Mirror – did you miss that? If you are going to rain on Fast Eddy’s Extinction Parade you can at least attempt to respond.
Dedicated to Mirror and his followers (very danceable)

That’s a red herring, Mirror, proffered by the politicians.
The UK government pretends to want to ‘protect’ us from nasty things online.
But,in reality, they plan to outlaw the truth, and those who speak it, so as to force-feed us with their lies.
They would do this even if everyone on the net were a snow-white lambkin.
None of hose canceled on FB, twitter, YT, etc, over the last two years ever said anything crude, offensive, harmful or untrue.
Mc Cullough, Yeadon, Bridle, Bossche, etc, are models of intelligent, civilised rectitude – it did them no good and they are now persecuted pariahs.
There is something to be said for civility and respectfulness, however my grandma always told me “sticcks & sotne may break your bones but words will never hurt you” (at least if you dont let them)..seems nowadays reality is so distant that no comprehension of sticks & stones but word well those are the be all and end all of woke existence.
norm enjoys the attention.
There you go again norm degrading street h oo kers…
You do know that most of them were born without the advantages that you have — maybe mother was a junkie… papa might have had a thing for his daughter… maybe she’s re t arded….
End of the day everyone’s gotta eat… it’s not a great job … but better than cleaning toilets no?
How dare you insult anna like that! There is nothing wrong with the street corner… as long as nobody forced someone to be there… it’s gotta be their choice (maybe they enjoy the thrill of getting into the back seat with a stranger?)
Reminds me of those doctors who are with the truckers… they keep saying how the truckers are heroes — then insinuate that they are stooopid useless fools with dirty finger nails… yet they are making a stand… look here — the lowest of the low are fighting back…
See what I did norm. You could never do that – even if I tried to teach you
when i unravel the wordpuzzle that forms your comment, i’ll get back to you eddy, re learning anything from you
Actually, Norman, you are not being at all truthful.
You mock people as ‘mentally ill’, ‘anti-vaxx’, ‘CT’s’,etc, and on one occasion you wished me dead ‘to make way for someone more useful’.
I think we can define all those comments as abusive to those who hold different positions.
Water off a duck’s back as far as I am concerned, but you said it.
Your pose of moral superiority compared to FE, or anyone else, has no foundation – rather like your pretensions to reason and logic.
Xabier
I don’t keep a record of everything I’ve said on OFW–and we all say nutty stuff on here
But ‘wishing someone dead’ is so far outside my ‘scheme of thinking’—it’s always possible that your interpretation of something i said left you with that impression—hard to say, as that would not have been my intention. If i inadvertertly slipped up, and gave that impression then i sincerely apologise.
that kind of sentiment would, i think, have been more the province of our unclad emperor, not me.
He can safely be defined as having ‘something mentally wrong’, when any contrary point of view is classified as a se xual abberration. (Including mine–se x dol ls etc. Maybe you consider that ‘normal adult discussion?)
I dont pose ‘moral superiority’ to anyone, other than your emperor above. In that respect it would be hard not to . I reverse insults, as a way of dealing with them.
you have never read swearing or obsceni ty from me, because i don’t think or speak that way in RL, Not being pompous—-It literally never crosses my mind so certainly wouldn’t do it online. (this is what makes me doubt the ‘dead’ part.) Not sure what CT is?
as to vaxxing, you might notice that my mockery is aimed at those who insist that insane doctors are stalking my g grandkids, or metal objects are sticking to skin, or Fauci is working for the chinese—or the risks of getting a flat tyre on the way from the clinic. To vax or not is up to the individual
Keep in mind this is Nadal Day on OFW – so it would be in poor taste to wish him dead.
It’s ok to celebrate his heart damage and hope that he has a massive heart attack (a la shane warne) at some point …
But for now we want to wish him well and hope that he lives for at least a week so he has ample opportunity to consider his ….situation … and what caused it.
That will allow us to enjoy the dopamine from the Schadenfreude… but like all good drugs that wears off and we’ll need to move on … so at that point who gives a f789 about Nadal… he’s had his moment of fame on OFW… and we collectively hoof his carcass under the bus (along with Celine)
And we wait for the next famous person to provide us with more dopamine.
Kuntsler says the heart damage is amping up big time and we are looking at 3x last year’s numbers if we can keep this up … that past year as been a Bumper Crop for ShadenFREUD… so we should be seeing a good drip feed of famous vax injured men and women … maybe we get a child star or two given we are hitting the 5+ crowd…
I wonder if this is the year we see betting lines on famous people dying or being maimed… being able to bet on Lebron or Clooney or Beyonce crashing out adds a whole new dimension to the CovCON…
Two shots of dope — 1. a famous person goes down (ahhhh feels good!) and 2. you had a 1000 bucks on that happening and the pay out pays out 10k…. (ahhhhhh…. Grrrrreat!)

hmmmmm
wishing dead, is very much your area of thought process eddy
it certainly isnt mine.
never has been, in any context
For the misanthrope a maimed human from self injury is virtue.
For the humanoid chauvinist (all) lives matter and is virtue.
I’m not sure Mother Earth gives a rats rear end of rapacious primate virtuous ego stroking.
However, edgy stuff is curious. Bland self righteousness is boring.
What you suggest surely sounds a lot like “socializing”. I.e. formation of a herd with its groupthink. And wasn’t “diversity” a good thing just a few posts ago? Perhaps not good enough to paint it with broad strokes?
We’re in dire straits and have to pretend otherwise? Because social cohesion of exactly what? Fantasy and delusion doesn’t seem very “cohesive” as compared with coming to terms with the ugly truth and acting in objective reality instead of wallowing in fantasy. There is no such resilient group that can’t handle the misanthrope.
It wouldn’t surprise me if 90% of the OFW clientele would love to have a beer or two with FE just for the shits and giggles. After all; George Carlin and Bill Hicks didn’t do their routines before empty seats and nobody forced anyone to watch the comedy, rather people PAID for getting their rear ends handed to themselves.
People take words and uttering way to seriously. It is the Precious Snowflake Syndrome (PSS). Cognitive dissonance occurs when the immovable object of Ugly Truth clashes with the unstoppable Egotistic Fantasies projected by industrial civilization onto its delusional embodiments.
I just think of it as the slap of Satori. Suck it up or ignore it. How hard can it be? If it strikes a nerve; then perhaps it is good. No?
Speaking for myself: As long as the Effortless Egos isn’t projecting their fantasy straight up my face I’m a cool cat.
But I get it; they’re so immersed in a delusion that they’ve gotta be naturalized into another paradigm, and slapping down the truth “crash boom bang” is too disruptive for the princesses.
The cringes though.
🤢🤮
Fast Eddy accepts that there are other points of view — but unless they are expounded by individuals on OFW who are deserving of respect — they are of no value…
The odds of a MOREON stating something of value on OFW is less likely that me looking out the window and watching Superman fly past.
the only people worthy of eddyrespect, are those in unquestioning agreement with you eddy.
the rest are the focus of a buse, usually of an irrelevant, often of a se xual , very unpleasant nature.
but i acknowledge your need to say such things, it supports a very fragile ego.
something i do not suffer from
Incorrect.
e.g. Recall that Fast Eddy initially bought the CovCON… then Tim and others pointed out a few problems …combined with inconsistencies in the narrative — and Fast Eddy came to his senses.
Tim was indeed the earliest Truth-teller here: his fine senses smelt a rat early on, all the way from the seclusion of rural Japan.
I was certainly a victim of the ‘a terrible pandemic is inevitable’ brainwashing we’ve all been drip-fed for years, although – thankfully for my tattered self-respect – I didn’t panic.
But did I buy it without question? Certainly!
I woke up fully only in September 2020.
And I roll about laughing that I was among the very first to wear a mask here, so bloody funny…..
We bought a box of N95 masks in NZ and couriered them to HK hahaha… cuz they couldn’t get them there… hahahaha
This is very very funny
https://youtu.be/zExMNEWscpM
Mirror. I totally agree!
Correct, if you agree with the “official sponsored narrative” and reguritate what is being said then the wokesters will love and embrace you. The moment you question or counter the government sponsored narrative, you are told to stop it.

Hello Gail congratulations on your birthday, We would almost forget it in all the squabbling about the guests you invited to your party. Whether you still find it a fun party is questionable. But here, as with cockroaches, they check in but they never check out.
Good way of describing the problem.
WordPress does allow limiting the number of posts per day. It applies to all. Maybe 10 would be a good first test of a limit.
I think it is worth a shot. A person can post something and make several comments. I think 10 would even be enough for Harry. I do enjoy his updates, and appreciate that he just provides a blurb and then a link for further info.
We should make an exception for Harry, because his news updates are very dear
Let’s not forget about Michael the Covid Bad News merchant…. anyone delivering bad news is most welcome on OFW
Oh my … has FE exceeded his quota???? It’s only 1010am…. my pants are on fire .. my pants are on fire!!!
Random comment time… (because)…
Fast Eddy is a voracious listener… HE doesn’t read (forgets how)… anyway — HE just started on a new book (it’s not really book … it’s a digitized thing that exists on the interweb… )…
So far so good – a couple of chapters in
The Poison King
The Life and Legend of Mithradates, Rome’s Deadliest Enemy
Should we start a book club? Kinda like Oprah….
What books are the other OFWers reading/listening too.
The Limits to Growth by Meadows, Randers, Behrens
A World Made by Hand by Kunstler
I just got Agamben’s book, “State of Exception”. I’m not sure why. I’m just a few pages in, going “uh huh, uh huh, yep, uh huh, okayy..” A lot of erudite analysis.. not sure whether there’s to be a resolution.
Skipping to the back (spoiler alert), it’s all a fiction.
===
The state of exception has today reached its maximum worldwide deployment. The normative aspect of law can thus be obliterated and contradicted with impunity by a governmental violence that—while ignoring international law externally and producing a permanent state of exception internally—nevertheless still claims to be applying the law.
Of course, the task at hand is not to bring the state of exception back within its spatially and temporally defined boundaries in order to then reaffirm the primacy of a norm and of rights that are themselves ultimately grounded in it. From the real state of exception in which we live, it not possible to return to the state of law [stato di diritto], for at issue now are the very concepts of “state” and “law.” But if it is possible to attempt to halt the machine, to show its central fiction, this is because between violence and law, between life and norm, there is no substantial articulation. Alongside the movement that seeks to keep them in relation at all costs, there is a countermovement that, working in an inverse direction in law and in life, always seeks to loosen what has been artificially and violently linked. That is to say, in the field of tension of our culture, two opposite forces act, one that institutes and makes, and one that deactivates and deposes. The state of exception is both the point of their maximum tension and—as it coincides with the rule—that which threatens today to render them indiscernible. To live in the state of exception means to experience both of these possibilities and yet, by always separating the two forces, ceaselessly to try to interrupt the working of the machine that is leading the West toward global civil war. (6.10 p.87)
US has always thought itself the exceptional country; Saint Obama even used that phrase
Or we could just go to 0?
Every heard of search >> delete? Is that beyond your pay grade to figure that out?
I would like to express in general my point about this subject of asking Gail to limit posts or expression of anyone.
In my view we are all guests here and I think that it is unpolite to ask the author to limit someone, first because Gail manages very well on her own her blog, second maybe the one asking to limit someone is the exactly the one considered to be limited by the person concerned, third I’ve personally found interesting posts coming from the most diverse people.
Maybe about this subject the following quote can be useful to anyone, including myself:
“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?”
Jesus was not all about unlimited tolerance. He had his own ideas about the objectives of his social group, and he selected participants on the basis of whether they would facilitate or hinder those objectives. That is how all human social groups ‘work’, and otherwise they do not work.
Jesus was absolutely willing to take physical action to eliminate persons that he considered to be an hindrance to the objectives of his social group. Indeed it got him killed in the end. His ‘redemptive sacrifice’ was the culmination of his elimination of the hinderers of the sought functionality of his social group.
The entire story of Jesus is about how he intervened in the social group that he considered to be structurally deficient in its tolerance of participants who hindered the functionality of the social group. The outcome, through his personal sacrifice, was the reformation of the social group through its anewed institution.
Jn. 2
> 14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.
17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
Jesus seems like the guy who could have abstained from heavy handed rough and tumble? Perhaps it could have spared his own rear end by not inciting violence and exclusion on the behalf of social cohesion in his newfangled sect? Yes, who knows, perhaps the acolytes could have been more diverse and expressive that way?
Indeed; how about a bit of Wu Wei? ☯️
I.e. chopping the wood along the grain instead of brute forcing a generic template behavior that doesn’t exactly “ring” well for particular embodiments of the Tao?
Social cohesion is a mutual tradeoff and integrity for each other. Playing games and silly shenanigans is a particularly uncalled for, irritating and pointless tactic.
How about operating with clean intent, keeping shit straight forward instead of projecting perplexity that just end up being interpreted as BS which ended the ‘man’ nailed to the cross instead of becoming a sage.
Just sayin’.
In the mean time:
🪵🪓💧
I didn’t mean to disturb Jesus in this situation, I just wanted to quote a wise phrase independently by who said it.
Ya and Jesus was a Messiah too!
Hey Mirror – how about for our next episode of the Final Solution…
We play this music in the background as we follow Grim Reaper George who was formerly the town mayor … as he hunts children in the neighbourhood to stew in The Big Pot? (the Big Pot was featured in an earlier episode – it’s like the hearth — everyone gathers around the Big Pot cuz they are hungry — and each day it’s a surprise… some days there are rats being stewed… another day might feature a scrawny dog… on the Jackpot Days – it’s a child)…..
Today George finds a mother hiding in a cellar with her last remaining child… is it ok to watch what George does to the mother before he drags the child by the hair back to the Big Pot where he slits its throat before tossing it in?)

Ed,
I scan them, don’t read them for the most part, many times more like a rant. Every so often even a rant might have something. Some of the references are interesting, but too many diminishes the actual content for me, seems like that of a fruitcake.
I was a very good boss, as long as someone did their job I didn’t tell them how to do it. The job here is maintaining a site for free discussion; no reason to let anyone get under your skin, use the scroll slider, next.
Gail does fine, let her do her job, or perhaps start a different site?
Dennis L.
If your gonna limit number then have to limit length…that would put Mirror in a tough spot with her lengthy posts..and then you need to implement a haughtyness (sp? who gives an F) index and comprehensiveness requirement…cant be spouting Nietzche or Freudian or Sagan or Malthusian psychobabblictic & cryptic phrasing without making sure that all of the audience is at the same level or that isnt explained at the level of a Kindergartner – because we all know that all that is important in the World should have been learned in K . Must limit yourself only to those thing that would exist in the World of Idiocracy – “Brawndo – it has electrolytes and is good for everything” – what else does the World need? Certainly not will to power or whatever (seeing as how nobody not even Niettzche knows what that really means)
The WordPress site doesn’t allow limits that I am aware of, other than a limit on the number of comments in a thread. There is no “per day” limit that I am aware of, in the “regular” WordPress site.
Some people indirectly use WordPress software, on sites that have their own separate programming. A limit on the comments of a particular person might be available in such an arrangement. The use of such an indirect use of WordPress software is a more expensive alternative. It requires a lot more administration to keep it working properly, because WordPress is only a base. Every times WordPress makes a change, programmers need to fix the site so that the add ons keep working properly.
It is possible to always moderate the comments of a particular commenter.
It is possible to alway moderate the “first” comment of a commenter. If a person uses a new VPN address each time, the commenter is considered “new.” I use this type of moderation to try to cut down the number of commenters who are trying to disrupt the site.

Rising female particitpation as the solution for the workforce decline in Japan
https://econimica.blogspot.com/2022/03/viewing-potential-us-employment-growth.html
“Looking at the widest possible Japanese labor force, 15 to 74 year-old male and female participation levels. Again, the spike in participation since 2012, particularly among females.”
“US young adult population has essentially not grown since 1980, with only a minor uptick and peak in 2013. The young adult population will likely be in secular decline from now forward. US births (regardless legal status of parents) peaked in 2007 and have steadily been declining from ’07’s 4.3 million annually to 3.5 million in 2021. This continually smaller cohort will be replacing the larger previous cohorts and the young adult feeder population will likely only continue to shrink.”
MG,
The most precious thing in the world is a child, it is the future of those fortunate enouth to have one. Farming out parenting, i.e. childcare does not seem to work very well here in the US.
Dennis L.
Most young people feel that they need to keep working to have enough to pay for a reasonable standard of living.
In fact, I decided I needed to work part-time to supplement my husband’s earnings, after my children were born. My part-time earnings were high enough to allow me to hire someone to take care of my children while I was away and still come out substantially ahead. Most women can’t do this because of the high cost of child care and low part-time wages.
Which is a good reason never to accept being tied down to a woman that isn’t competent/useful in society. Shit’s getting more expensive by the day.
Can she get the job done and ship with no drama?
If no. GTFO princess.

Russia said that they would support the Asian economies
Half of Russian exports go to Asia today. They are planning to increase their exports to Asia.
High energy prices are shutting down European industries…while Russia is bombing Ukrainian industrial production. Demilitarisation. Denazification. Deindustrialisation.
Is China financing the war?
War? There’s a war?
The rest of the world doesn’t need Europe. It has overused its resources for too many years. “Services” aren’t what the rest of the world is looking for.
The ageing world needs more and more services. Like your ageing body and brain.
Republicans, who refuse to support even the mild climate policies favored by European and Canadian conservatives, also shoulder the blame for the wreckage of U.S. policy. It was President Donald Trump who scrapped “energy independence” for “energy dominance,” framing fossil fuels not as a necessary evil but as a positive good. But Democrats are in the governing majority today, and Manchin leads the Senate’s energy committee, so it is their job and his, at least in theory, to govern.
The most likely outcome is that nothing changes. The United States will take its oil and let it fetch the highest price on the world market. The dissipation of America’s natural resources will continue, and we’ll muddle through, safe in the belief that nothing too bad could really happen. We might be all right for a while, until we aren’t.
….
This failure isn’t just bad news for energy prices; it means that America’s broader position in the clean-energy transition has deteriorated since the war in Ukraine ramped up. The United States once flattered itself with the notion that it could compete with China to become a clean-energy-manufacturing powerhouse. This would have always been a hard goal, given China’s considerable head start and its massive scale: In 2021, China’s EV sales alone were more than one-fifth of the size of America’s entire car market. But it will be impossible if American companies cannot benefit from the industrial support and consumer-side subsidies meant to help them catch up with global competitors.
American firms may not even be able to get the raw materials that they need to compete anymore. Although pilloried as little more than a “big gas station,” Russia is a major supplier of copper, platinum, and other minerals needed for the energy transition. (One Russian company, for instance, produced 17 percent of the world’s Class I nickel, the type used in EV batteries.) Whatever their merits, the West’s sanctions have sent the price of these metals soaring worldwide. Retaliatory sanctions could eventually make it impossible for American and European firms to buy these raw goods.
That’s the Plan Stan..phase One…mission accomplished…

Herbie,
I have tried renewable energy in the real world with real dollars, it does not work AFAICS.
There was a fellow in the eastern US who tried to store solar as hydrogen in old propane tanks, actually had fuel cells. I looked at the cost of the fuel cells, huge; migration of the hydrogen thru the old propane tanks must have been a pain to say nothing of embrittlement.
Not to be a spoiled sport, I have considered sealing one or two old silage towers(Harvestore) for pumped storage, solar to do the pumping. Ah, need a great deal of storage. There is a small, abandoned dam near me, did some calculations and approximated about five hp., Gail has something is the flow being variable. Winter in MN does some interesting things to water in pipes, etc about January.
If anything worked better than coal it would have been done already.
My solution, move all industrial production to space, need heat, fly it by the sun, drop any waste while going by, life on spaceship earth. Open to other suggests, strongly reject massive die off.

Oh, Dennis, I agree with your stance. I just post these clips for general interest on the public policy in political opinion.

Farming and building your home..
Not a pleasant life at all and it was indeed a daily grind…
At my age crossing my fingers the road has enough length for the can to be kicked for another decade. By then I’ll be in my 70s and it won’t matter
Actually, 🙀 surprised how well things have held up till now.
Remarkable the mindset of folks I encounter…
Most shrug it off and remark.. they’ll think of something or will have different technology , ect ect.
When I interject a FE comment, its generally is ignored or subject is changed.
Most have complete faith in the System and believe it will provide for them as promised.
As Gail has pointed out…too many promises that can’t be met.
If only America would have followed Germany’s lead America could have the most expensive electricity in the world hahahahhaha
That is precisely the problem!
“We might be all right for a while, until we aren’t.”
No energy policy in America is sad. But it continues the trend since Carter in 77-81
Hi Gail,
A few people have said this before: Is there any way of limiting FE’s comment volume? E.g. N comments per day, where N is a smallish no?
The repetition and vitriol is now beyond tedious and for me lowers the value of the blog.
I don’t bother commenting much if at all these days because of that very reason. The comments section use to be a place of informed discussion and debate, without all the ridiculous ‘stuff’ FE contributes (along with a few others).
My suspicion is that many that would have thought Gail’s needed further study, now dismiss this place as just a mix of cons.piracy nuts and move on. Gail’s message gets lost in the many useless rants.
I don’t bother reading most of the comments these days as there is mostly no point….
i’ve tried pointing it out–what’s needed is more genuine commenters to start saying the same thing, not just yawning and going elsewhere
Norman,
Why leave? Blow it off.
Dennis L.
This is what the cowardly norm will do when he gets that vaxinjury…
He’ll blame his departure on FE or someone else who refers to him as dull and repetitive…
Rather than acknowledging that he messed up and blew himself up.
Humans do not just ‘blow’ things off. Your time as a ‘boss’ obviously gave you zero skills in human management.
Retired comfortably at 55, yourself? If it works I see no reason to make it personal, it is business. Emotion makes for very poor decisions in my experience.
Dennis L.
I too have avoided commenting because of Gail’s toleration of FE’s antics (but keep reading mainly for Harry McGibbs). FE has to be some sort of bad actor (although I do wonder why Russian trolls would think moon-landing denialism would make their other causes more plausible).
This goes well beyond simple rudeness–one regularly comes across racist or anti-Semitic content that could have been taken right from Stormfront. In fact, it has occurred to me to wonder whether Gail quietly cheers FE’s extremist views. (Her explanation is that she is too busy or old to moderate the comments.) I discovered the site when Gail was featured in some respectable news source, but I doubt this could happen today, thanks to the radioactive nature of such commentary.
I read an anecdote somewhere about a bartender who pointed to two newly-arrived customers and told them “No. Get out.” When another patron asked why, the bartender said something along the lines of, “You couldn’t see it from your angle, but they were wearing Na z i stuff. If I serve them, then they’ll bring their friends, and pretty soon this will turn into a Na z i bar.”
So, Gail, what kind of bar are you running here?
its a fact that conspironuts attract a lot of squirrels
I don’t get why one commenter you don’t like would **prevent you from commenting**.
Plus, haven’t you heard? We’re all supposed to be supporting the Azov battalion now.
Roll with it.
It’s not just FE, although he obviously has more of an influence. It’s the overall tenor of the comment section.
Yes it is filled with Ubermensch (and a few umberwomen)… I can see how that would might trouble some folks. Considering commenting would no doubt be quite daunting when in the presence of giants… the self doubts ‘am I worthy?’ … but not for norm .. and definitely not for mike – mike just keeps on chugging along…
(sigh) “Mensch” means a human being, not a male specifically. The plural of “Übermensch” is “Übermenschen.”
Hoolio is a super dog … he can outrun a rabbit… caninemensch?
We hadn’t notice you were missing … just like the others who indicated they’ve stopped commenting. Nobody ever says hey what happened to that Hideaway guy?
But they do mention Robert Firth. His absence is noticed. And he was a big FE fan… big fan.. in fact we traded autographed photos a few months before he left us. Big hole in OFW .. big hole… Hideway gone? Hadn’t noticed…
Yet there are still 6000 comments per article… Like I said … we hadn’t noticed you’d gone missing … perhaps you need one of those SOS beacons…
OFW is the best it has ever been.
its always good to have that reassurance eddy
I agree. It’s off topic and incessant. I like it when blogs apply a rule of thumb that a no one should more than 5% of all comments.
Comments like “Hahahahaha more MOREONS dead!!!” don’t add value after the 1000th time.
Gail has allowed her website to turn into a mental hospital, and I do not think that she has what it takes to turn it around. It is basically a write off.
The comments section is a cespool, but her content is great.
Thanks for contributing a profoundly insightful one-liner into the cesspool.
Come on Mirror, personal judgment, it is not a mental hospital, it is our world. Sometimes your deep philosophy loses me, same with the Scottish stuff, other times it is of interest. Not a big deal.
Dennis L.
I never, ever harass or troll other people or try to shut them down because they have a different perspective to me. Because I am civilised, I have confidence in what I write, and I have some self-dignity. That is the difference between me and FE – and some others on here. I am satisfied with the way that I have conducted myself on here, and I would never confuse myself with other people and with their personal faults.
Great to have you here, something is better than nothing, this is what we have. Enjoy the best, ignore the rest and be happy.

We need a National MOREON Day on OFW.
eddy
for national moron day
you will carry the banner at the front of the parade
i promise not to rain on it.
much
Don’t you think that Nadal should be given the honour?
am not a sporting type
in my mind such honours go to the most deserving
Mirror, I enjoy your philosophy posts, but what you say above isn’t true. I’ve seen you try to bully several other commenters, telling them whether they “may” or “may not” reply to you. You have your own demons, different to FE’s.
I suggest we not throw out any babies along with the bathwater. Plus, if it is so terrible, why do you spend so much time here?
We’ll need all the babies we can get soon …. for the Big Pot.
I must train Hoolio to catch babies and bring them back without eating all the good parts like he does with the rabbits…
Seriously — he literally brings back the head and front paws… with a scrap of fur attached to the back legs… all the innards are gone … we will need the innards to keep our iron levels high.
Imagine if he came back with an infant in that state… M Fast would be horrified.
hahahahaha a mental hospital!
Brad Pitt plays Fast Eddy? Oh yes oh yes!!!
https://youtu.be/CWIktZwmJPM
Yeahh.. I’m envisioning more of a Jack Nicholson…
How about Brad’s looks crossed with Jack’s madness…
Raphael Nadal’s well-being is on my mind this morning …. I hereby declare this Get Well Nadal Day on OFW… let’s first have a moment of silence in honour of Mr Nadal — everyone pray that he doesn’t have a massive heart attack (like Shane Warne)…………………………………………………….. (Hoolio get the f789 back in here)…oh sorry…………………………………………………………………..
Ok enough of that … how can we honour Mr Nadal … I know… let’s lower the OFW flag to 2/3’s mast… after all he’s still alive so we’re not going to half….
And let’s dedicate this day to Dunc Norm and Mike… and call it No Harm Done… today there will be no snide remarks .. no hard questions (like why?)…. today we will have a detente…
We need to ensure DNM have the entire day to reflect on what almost certainly has taken down their fallen hero…. the lead spokesperson for CovIDIOCY on the planet
‘If you are vaccinated you can play’: Rafael Nadal short on sympathy for Djokovic
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/jan/06/rafael-nadal-novak-djokovic-australian-open-tennis-vaccinated
How about — if you are unvaxxed… you can breath… and therefore you can play.
The detente begins … NOW.
What you then have is censorship or cancelling an individual. That’s what is nice about Gail’s website. There is a balance. When comments are “over the top”, sure that’s when they get deleted.
The best advice is to just ignore the person if he or she irks you. Silencing a person is not the way to go. We have too much of that today when someone doesn’t agree with another person’s views.
Before this thread started on Fast Eddy, he made 75% of the comments on the visible comment section. It’s not censorship to limit all commenters to 5% of the total, it’s the same rule for everyone.
It is not reasonable to expect Gail to constantly count up everyone’s posts and to take steps to limit them. Human groups do not function in that way. The authority in the group will take ‘targeted action’ in order to keep a social group functional, because those are the tried and tested tools that are available and that are practical.
Human groups function by getting rid of members who are a hindrance to the functionality of the group. It is not reasonable or practical to expect them to function in any other way. That just leads to disorganisation and group failure. All human groups have the choice to preserve themselves and their functionality or to fail. If they take the necessary steps then they have some chance of success. Otherwise they fail.
Notice how anna and dunc are extinct…. and that pedo guy who taught children to ‘sail’
Fast Eddy exterminated them
Remember the DelusiSTANIs? Fast Eddy genocided the entire race. Once in awhile we see some fossilized remains… and FE takes a sledge hammer to them.
All is .. as it is meant to be … Fast Eddy is .. eternal …
Fast Eddy’s goal is total domination – HE will not rest until he posted 137% of all comments on OFW
I’m intrigued; how does one go beyond 100%?
Tell me!
When I figure out how to do that … you will know.
like so many guys, eddy has this ‘dom ination’ fixation. Particularly about the opposite se x.
Scared stiff of any wo man he sees in any position of authority. (or knowing more than he does)
then he goes down the med centre, roiling inside about some imagined ‘trangression’ on their part. (Trying to ki ll him usually)
The girl behind the desk rolls her eyes when she sees him come in.
In his mind, he’s yelling at them. Whereas in fact he’s doing just what some 18 yr old receptionist is telling him to do,—‘go away and stop being a nuisance’ (Much the same as OFW in fact.
M Fast is in a position of great authority
like me, you seem to have discovered:
”i reaally wouldn’t do that if i were you”
is usually all that stands between you and catastrophe
the gentler sex are so much better at the survival business
I have read from other posters (besides FE) on this site that a certain group of individuals i.e. Non-Vaxxed who are deemed low intelligence because they don’t believe in The Jab should just all die.
Those person(s) should not be silenced either. That is their view and they are entitled to say. I don’t agree with it but I just move on.
I am not sure if the people those want to silence others know the gravity of our situation we are facing. At this late stage of this cancer, are there any solutions to our predicament? Can we unskilled milk? Are we going to squabble over cancelling individuals when things may took a turn for the very worse anytime? To me, it is like “mommy …mommy … Billy hit me on the head” and we wait for mommy to take action.
I think humans are just not fit to inherit this world.
Things are regressing from the absurd into atrocious and people whine about some over the top comments that doesn’t appeal to their effortless egos.
The whiners usually can’t write anything of curiosity. That’s what self entitled princesses busying themselves with egotistic fantasy becomes. Bland. Mediocre. Uninteresting. Boring.
Yes, it wouldn’t “hurt” to have some perspective.
Well put.
Dennis L.
The whiners usually can’t write anything of curiosity.
Exactly.
Recall a few months ago a whiner insisting that we focus our comments on energy … and stop the CovCON discussion….
As if we are circus animals — here to perform the tricks that the audience of nobodies wants to see.
Those who contribute nothing … who post banal bullshit .. never an insight .. never an amusing anecdote demanding to Fast Eddy toe their line — as if they are what makes OFW OFW…
Well guess what — those of you moaning and whining are superfluous to OFW… you add nothing .. if the lot of you left nobody would notice… and you know it… you know it… but like the Woke brigade of MOREONS who have overrun the universities you are drunk on yourselves..
Limit FE.. stop FE.. censor FE … Kill Fast Eddy???
Ya kill him .. so that you pathetic donkeys and can resume your inane discussions without FE interrupting your Diarrhoea and exposing the lot of you for what you are … mediocre.
What’s the strategy here – take down FE — then go for the other Core members – pick off all the meat till all that is left is a heap of bones bleaching in the sun? Then pat each other on the back when you post more regurgitated garbage?
Poison on the all giants of OFW and declare yourselves kings?
Good luck with that. We will crush you.

Well, having to go through the “CovCON” dry coughing in my bed struck the nerve of truth.
But as for the actual science of Covid/viruses and the anthropology of self-injury, it’s all very curious on how people will come to terms with the evolutionary trap they volunteered for.
I’m already observing real people working in the field mitigating the awful truth that is dawning on the subjects. Which is compassionate. 👍
After all; the seven stages of grief will manifest in one way or another for all of us.
“I’m already observing real people working in the field mitigating the awful truth that is dawning on the subjects. Which is compassionate.”
Kowalainen, can you talk a little more about this?
Anyone know the opposite of compassionate?
You in the back… what’s your name — My name is Fast Eddy.
Fast Eddy please go ahead …
The opposite of compassionate is Schadenfreude.
Very good Fast Eddy – can you use it in a sentence.
When I read about the MOREON Nadal injecting the experimental substance then mocking Novak, then watched the press conference where Nadal was experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath, I was overwhelmed with Schadenfreude.
Excellent Fast Eddy. You are the class super star. Come get your free lap dance coupon.
I get the sense that a few established/MSM channels are explaining the science behind the vax in terms of its possible side effects without the vitriol and unnecessary projections of imminent suffering and death from having a compromised immune system. That just causes anxiety on top of the virus and threat of WW3.
It is the sort of thing cancer patients are being explained by oncologists. The suck of immunodeficiency isn’t so bad if it can be explained by someone who claims to be vaxed and knowledgeable within the field.
It seems genuinely compassionate.
It is good.
OFW is of course another beast altogether. Personally I think people accessing this type of content should be vetted as to be sufficiently grounded in objective reality. I.e. filtering, or ratings as with movies.
That is the crux of free speech in a society which breeds precious snowflakes popping Xanax and getting their egotistic fixes on instagram, dating apps and tinder.
Yeah, I’ve got little patience for those who want to project the vax up my rear end by being in my face or ear.
And I’m not considering the usual narrative peddlers that can be muted out and ignored by the scroll wheel or remote control.
Rather it is the ‘in your face’ BS projections that Grind my Gears™.
Imagine some halfwitted effortless ego that tries to nag you into an evolutionary trap. GTFO!
CTG,
Any idea of what group best survived the end of the Roman Empire? Slaves, owners, citizens? I don’t have a clue.
Yes, we re fit to inherit this world, must sometimes frustrate God when we insist on doing it our way, but don’t I recall we were made in His image? Work in progress? Yes, progress, like that idea.
Dennis L.
“Perfection” is a bit dull, isn’t it? Why do you think the “fallen ones” were cast down to earthly realms?
A few outrageous and controversial schmucks must surely be essential for the Tao/Brahman/God to express itself to the fullest?
No; I’m not religious.
Evidence is my gold standard. All else is a cleverly crafted hoax/fantasy/hallucination/fallacy.
No one is ‘entitled’ to anything, and certainly not to express themselves on all platforms, unless the social group, and particularly the authority within the group, says that they are ‘entitled’ to anything. That is simply how human social groups self-organise.
Humans do not self-organise through absolute tolerance, because that does not work. The social group, and its authority, always looks at what facilitates the objectives of the group. That will always entail curtailing behaviour that is a hindrance to the objectives of the group.
The alternative to that is failure, which is why no human group self-organises in that way. Human groups self-organise in certain structural ways because that is how they function and attain their objectives. Organisation involves organisation, and the alternative to that is not ‘self-organisation’ but failure.
Functional humans will simply detach themselves from failing structures that lack structural organisation, because they know that they are structurally deficient and therefore incapable of achieving their objectives.
Successful functional organisation self-reinforces, and so does structural failure. The tendency of social groups without sufficient organisational structure will simply be to exclusively gather disfunction, because all of the functional types will simply go elsewhere. The structure then fails.
That is simply how humans, and their social tendencies, and their group structures, have evolved. Those tendency have to be ‘worked with’, they cannot be ‘bypassed’ in some ‘ideal’ way, because the world is what it is, humans are what they are, and their social groups function in the way that they do.
The only choice that humans and their groups have is to work with the world in the way that it works, with humans and the way that their social groups work, or to fail. It simply is not realistic, or reasonable, to expect them to function any other way, because they simply do not.
“No one is ‘entitled’ to anything, and certainly not to express themselves”
In an open and free society, they certainly are entitled to express their views whether you agree with them or not. In today’s society they get cancelled and silenced just as you are proposing. Expressing views counter to “group think” you are cancelled and silence. That’s a pretty crappy world where everyone thinks and talks the same.
Oh yeah, that’s George Orwell’s 1984, wasn’t it?
There is no ‘free and open society’ in the world that allows everyone to post anything that they like on any platform that they like. Human societies simply do not ‘work’ like that. That imaginary society does not exist and it never will. If that is your idea of ‘freedom’ then you are going to be severely disappointed.
If you want to express yourself then you either get your own platform, or you find one that is willing to allow you to publish on it. But you have no ‘right’ to insist that they do. It is up to the authority of the platform to make those decisions. So let us stop with that nonsense right there.
If people get ‘cancelled’ on platforms then it is because the authority of the platform has taken a decision to do that. That is how they function in a ‘free and open society’. It is the only way that platforms can function, which is why they do function in that way.
Like all human social groups, they have to make decisions, and enforce them, about whether members facilitate the functionality of the group or hinder it. It they hinder it, then they have to be got rid of. That is how it ‘works’ in all human groups, including platforms within a ‘free and open society’.
You have a very poor and narrow minded view of an open and free society. I guess we all have to agree with you and not question anything you say.
Do point us to this ‘free and open society’ where you can demand that all platforms publish your expressions. You simply have not got a clue what you are talking about, and you can try to dress that up with all of the grand phrases and personal accusations that you like.
“Do point us to this ‘free and open society’ where you can demand that all platforms publish your expressions.”
I guess it’s more like humans being a work in progress. They go in different directions. Some directions are fatal, some can save them for another day. The fact that some of us have strongly opposing ideas that we are allowed to express symbolizes a conditional “free and open society” in the present. It seems as valid and wise as a countering notion that it is not valid, and has no right to exist. It exists, and is worth defending.
Mirror, your analogy makes no sense at all. OFW is not a nation, it is not a community, it is not even a group. It’s a blog where a set of INDIVIDUALS can express themselves freely.
I like to see OFW as an ethereal republic of anarchists, who by definition are people who defy all authority. And then you wanted our kind hostess to act as commissar of opinions here, soviet or fakebook style, stipulating what could and couldn’t be discussed and in what way.
But If the discussion here were subject to rules, etiquette and comunication protocols, OFW would not be the space of freedom that it is, but just another one of those anodyne forums in which the course and flow of communication are controlled from above. And of that there is yet more than enough in this stupid world.
If you dislike the participation of certain commenters here, you just have to scrol down. That’s all. To ask for someone’s expulsion is simply pathetic, and even unworthy of you.
Call it a Roman Coliseum … one of the gladiators is about to lose his head and he calls out to the Emperor — can you please expel this guy with the sword?
The emperor would surely burst out in laughter sparing them both.
*LOL*
*Did you hear that; WTF did he just say?*
Promoted to the court jester the next morning.
🤣👍👍
I would appreciate such a reduction as well
Fast eddys comments are one of the few things that bring a smile to my face nowadays. I scroll past many of them. I dont read every comment. I scroll scanning for content of value read what i sieve out. I have a unusual sense of humor and fast eddys style matchs that sense of humor. I imagine many people scroll past my comments too. Its no big deal. This place was like a librarian staff meeting without FE.
Oh but you aspiring censors are just too silly.
If you don’t like FE – or anyone else for that matter – just scroll on.
Gail’s content is superb, and that is really all that matters.
Foolish comments, or wise, (or pseudo -wise like poor old Norman) the machine of global extermination set in motion by the great Cabal in 2019 grinds on regardless.
CARPE DIEM!
But FE does not just ‘scroll passed’ other people, he attempts to impose his views on everyone else, and to shut them down, through outright abuse and confrontation. He even makes a list of people that he has forced away from contributing to the forum, and he prides himself in adding further posters. He is a major hindrance to the functionality of the group, and he needs to be got rid of. That is how human social groups function. Gail has banned him several times before, for good reasons, and she needs to trust herself, and simply get rid of him. My vote is 100% to just permanently ban him.
those who demand free speech as a right, are always the most demanding that it should be denied to others
It’s a lot of scrolling, to sift through his commenting from the others. A person only has so much time in a day for such a thing
On the plus side, I’ve often got quite a few very good and informative links from FE’s comments which I certainly wouldn’t have found otherwise.
In many ways he’s quite as useful as Sir Harry, our own ‘Eye of Sauron’.
Thanks Xabier. FE is a pulse of life on a forum that could otherwise be a hangout for the walking dead.
lol
not the cabal again
am desperate to find out who those guys are
They tell you who they are!
You’re simply not listening.
well i wish they’d shout louder
if you know, take pity on a poor old git and tell me.
somehow these ”well known mysteries” that everyone knows about, always pass me by.
i am beginning to to suspect that the ‘great cabal’ is just one of them—one of those things of ‘common awareness’, but where getting to the central ‘tenet of knowledge about it (or them) carries all the frustration of cutting custard into slices,—with exactly the same result.
you are obviously far more aware of ‘the cabal’ lidia, so tell me who they are.
I need to know.
But i rather suspect that it will remain a ‘secret’ known only to an inner circle of cognoscenti.
prove me wrong
Sounds easy … but Fast Eddy is working on a ratio — he aims for one powerful insight — one humorous comment – and one link to an article out of every 5 posts… so that’s two throw aways…
If Fast eliminates the throw aways that means he has to bat 1000… i.e. every swing has to be an out of the park home run… sheesh even Sammy Sosa on Steroids was only batting 300 and change….
Do you know how much pressure that would put on Fast Eddy???? HE cannot always be in the Zone… HE cannot always be ‘On’…. the strain will be too much … yes … too much …
And remember – Fast Eddy is not getting paid for this … if we put him under too much pressure HE’ll lose his mojo and go into a major batting slump… a reduction is not an option …
HE says feel free to search Fast Eddy – Delete —- HE blows you a kiss and says HE won’t miss you ….
or eddy could go round in every decreasing circles, and thus disappear in the traditional manner
Good morning to you too norm… it’s another fine warm day here in Queenstown… I hope everything is fine in the UK… I feeling pretty good .. hoping to get back on the ice in April… did you know that squeezing a … tennis ball… strengthens the forearms and improves ones shot? Might do some of that today…
What are you up to?
kind of you to be concerned about my health eddy—am touched
did my fast mile + in the pool, as i try to do at least 4 days out of 7
i get old gits rate at my health club.
Fred – Here is the thing with your request which by the way always comes up in some way in every comment section I have ever seen.
No one is forcing anyone to read anyones comments. Get it?
All comments begin with someones handle. You don’t like what they say…don’t read it…how hard is that?
If your request is acted on, which many comment moderators do, it then becomes a worthless echo chamber or as I like to say a big circle jerk.
By the way many of you who are asking for censorship are those whos comments are often innaine and/or ignorant and I skip over them automatically.
I don’t think anyone suggests he should be cancelled, just limit the number of posts (anyone) he can post as a guest I don’t have a problem with the topics he chooses or his point of view, but it needs to be toned down.
I would never recommend anyone come here to read Gail’s excellent posts because they might by chance see the comment section. ANd that is sad.
“they might **by chance** see the comment section”
OMG!!
AVERT YOUR EYES!!!
If someone in this day and age doesn’t know how the Internet works, I personally can’t be too concerned about them.
Gail is responsible for her posts; commenters are responsible for their comments.
All this hand-wringing just seems silly concern-trolling and -frankly- undermining in and of itself.
If someone is dumb enough to shun Gail’s essays because they don’t like some random commenter or another, then that is their problem.
Gail can be the new Larry Flynt hahahaha
Purveyor of doom po rn.
We are seeing 6000ish comments per article…
FE can write whatever content he wants. Some of it is useful and I check it out, but the vitriol and repetition are for me counter productive.
I’m not trying to censor his content, but I’d certainly be happy if he was granted less scope to be a domineering a**hole. I don’t enjoy being around people like that online or IRL and it stopped being funny a while back.
However it’s not my blog, so it’s up to Gail.
Now look what you’ve done .. Fast Eddy is upset… I think he’s crying… what’s that Fast … ah ok …
HE says HE’s not crying … HE’s laughing so hard HE’s tearing up … HE also says to say that HE thinks HE’s being more than fair… HE says try having an HP of 1500 — and being surrounded by nearly 8B MOREONS and at best a few dozen High Enders here on OFW….
HE’s asking if you think that Justin Bieber is pleasant?
eddy capping himself makes all other comments irrelevant
It would be nice if WP allowed collapsing comments down to the persons name only on a name by name basis. One could click on the name and expand the comment if one wanted.
Isn’t this starting to sound a bit like college campuses? At least we don’t shout people down, they really aren’t disruptive here other than taking a bit time to scroll. I don’t see a problem, as mentioned earlier, I don’t read many of them.
I suppose the same thing could be said about my solving earthly problems by going to space, no one thinks that one will work, quietly ignored. I know they are far out, but.
I did make frequent comments about inflation and did suggest the stock market might make more sense than gold or dollars. Look back one year, two years, etc. So far so good.
Dennis L.
It would take the fun out of it… kinda like knowing what Santa had for you in advance…
Random is good — you get a box and excitedly open it — (even though is smells like old man and stale shi t) — and you groan in disappointment but outwardly you express fake glee… on to the next one … ah this makes up for it … we’ve got Lastcall in the box… and here we have Xabier…. and Harry… oh what’s this .. smell a bit off… it’s mike.. on to the next one… ah it’s JMS … and so on …
We had a member who was disruptive at meetings and intimidating to other members especially newcomer women. We held a group conscience and invited the problem member to state his case. Multiple members from other meetings attended our group that evening and shared stories about the problem behavior of this guy.
I suggested that senior male members (good old boy network) were picking on this guy who was a minority, disable veteran with obvious mental health problems. The veteran would then take out his frustration on female members or do outrageous things to attract attention and the cycle would repeat.
Thankfully we had group guidelines that helped us to take action. In the end, we gave him a year off with the opportunity to return to the group to be reinstated depending on his behavior. Since then he has continued to be a nuisance at other meetings.
My observation is that this fellow is a challenge that can be met with community guidelines. The fellow is someone with contrarian views some of which I agree with but tends to post low quality material to get a reaction from the opposition. Instead of voting with their feet or scrolling through, the opposition engages with this fellow who may be mentally ill and uses his content to attack reasonable arguments. The fellow has something to teach us and we can grow as a group by posting material relevant to the topic of the host without attacking weaker members.
I especially relished his series on how all the moon landings were staged events and how this can be transposed to other issues put forth by the🥸Elders…
I couldn’t get enough and am disappointed he has😃stopped

A California man who said he wanted to fly to the edge of outer space to see if the world is round has died after his home-built rocket blasted off into the desert sky and plunged back to earth. “Mad” Mike Hughes was killed on Saturday afternoon after his rocket crashed on private property near Barstow, California. Waldo Stakes, a colleague who was at the rocket launch, said Hughes, 64, was killed. The Science Channel said on Twitter it had been chronicling Hughes’ journey and that “thoughts & prayers go out to his family & friends during this difficult time.” “It was always his dream to do this launch,” the Twitter message said. Hughes also was a limousine driver, who held the Guinness world record for “longest limousine ramp jump,” for jumping 103 feet (31 meters) in a Lincoln Town Car stretch limousine, at a speedway in 2002.
Maybe Fast Eddie can join the Flat Earthers
i keep wondering if said fellow is sober when he posts
That would only backfire if the group made the wrong decision …
And in any event the board would end up stacked with The Core — you know – the people on OFW who make all of the useful comments… and they support Freedom.
Go to Twitter if you seek censorship. Or Facebook – FB even has a nifty widget that allows you to report anything that is not woke enough for you — and FB responds very quickly suspending accounts.
Enjoy your echo chamber.
Fast Eddy is here to build a Cult of Personality .. HE has not time for this nonsense

As of 2018, there is a surgeon in NZ – Dr Rita Yang, who performs public funded or private (self-funded) surgeries. These include penectomy, vaginoplasty (penile inversion or Sigmoid colon technique) for trans women and transfem people. For trans men and transmascs, she preforms metoidioplasty, and phalloplasty. She can provide testicle implants, erectile implants, and urethral lengthening as required.
She has trained internationally with top surgeons in several countries, and has very good surgical outcomes.
Dr Yang also performs private top surgeries, breast augmentation, facial feminisation, thyroid cartilage reduction or augmentation, hair transplant, gluteal augmentation, lipofilling, liposuction, and pectoral implants.
Dr Yang operates in Auckland and Wellington

if there is one immutable truth that i have learned through life’s interactions
it’s that they who bring s .e. x into every aspect of so called adult conversation and exchange, are those who have come to know their own inadequacies i that respect.

nobody can improve on your record there
Warning that Australians could need FIVE doses of a Covid-19 vaccine to be considered fully protected – and the people who should ALREADY be getting four jabs
Australians could need up to five doses of Covid-19 vaccine to be fully jabbed
Immunocomprimised patients already recommended to receive four doses
ATAGI says it’s monitoring international data from countries requiring four jabs
Almost 60 per cent of eligible Australians have had three doses of the vaccine
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10520621/Australians-need-five-doses-Covid-vaccine.html
The good news is that the more people get sick from the injections … the more they are gonna want more injections… cuz it would be worse if they weren’t boosted.
Is this brilliant — or is is just the production of most people being MOREONS?
norm – what do you have to say?
Quite jaw-dropping: not just the number of jabs but that they expect a whole country to be dumb enough to take them.
An expectation likely to be fulfilled, one supposes, given their track record over the past year.
It will be interesting to see if that happens. Most people here in OZ I know who are vaxxed have no intention of getting boostered.
I sincerely hope that you are right.
Surely the Aussie worm must turn at some point….. but will it then be stamped on?
They are sorting according to IQ… the semi MOREONS took one shot… and dropped out and so on until you get to the Hyper Super Extreme MOREONS — these are the ones that will take as many shots as they are told to…. (or until their hearts explode)…
This is all for posterity … for the museum that is being built by the Pure Bloods to demonstrate to their strictly limited offspring (gotta keep population under control post Cull)…. the range of stoooopidity of those who existed in the billions before the The Great Cull was enacted… (the defining moment in human history when the imbeciles who caused the Overshoot were eliminated)….
The Pure Blood children (all fathered by John Galt aka Fast Eddy – and born of very fit and also hot Pure Blood women – all the plough hogs were exterminated…) will marvel at the profound stupppidity of the Ultra Mega Super Extreme MOREONS who took All the Shots on offer (by the end of the CovCON it was 7)… and ask — Dad — how is it that someone would put this shit into their body — one shot is insane but 7?
And Fast Eddy would explain — you see Pre Cull — there were barnyard animals and circus animals… they were able to perform tricks — but they were brainless imbeciles — aka MOREONS… they believed we had been to the Moon (the children laugh hahahaha… did they really? Have they not seen American Moon???) … they believed in things like WMD in Iraq… that the US government was not orchestrating 911 and so on — really Dad – wow they were very stooopid!!!
Yes they were extremely stooopid — but there was a core of Great Minds — and Fast Eddy was the ring leader… HE (I) even provided them with proof that the injections were meant to exterminate them… but they only got angry and rejected the data — they rejected the data? Wow… that is really stooopid!!! Yes — and then the Great Cull happened and that’s what we celebrate each year — along with Fast Eddy’s birthday on Dec 25.
One child then asks — Dad – what’s a Tee Vee? …Oh that’s a long story … let’s discuss that over lunch…
As they walk passed the coffins of norm and mike… looking grey and waxen in death as they did in life… embalmed with the Pfizer Covid injection juices… that preserve them for all time… as a reminder and a warning .. of what happens when MOREONS ran the world… they gaze at the solid gold plaque mounted above the coffins etched with :
never again. NEVER. AGAIN.

Trudeau already contracted for eleven doses for each Canadian. There really isn’t going to be a limit.
Just as there is never going to be a “stopping factor” for the number of injuries and deaths.
There really isn’t going to be a limit, *theoretically*.
There is no limit to stoooopidity (technically negative IQ can go to infinity) so ya … no limit to the boosters… other than that they all die.
Maybe it is just graft. Trudeau gets 11x the money for buying 11x the produce. Is anyone monitoring Trudeau and his purchases?

Think the Economy Will Grow Forever? Ask the Romans.
Five minute video on what went wrong in Rome.
Economy gradually was transformed to one that was powered by slaves (300,000) (captured in warfare), and kept operating by a relatively small number of very wealthy aristocrats. The slaves were the equivalent to today’s robots.
At the same time there were many unemployed citizens. In 200 AD, in Rome, there were about 200,000 employed citizens, 300,000 unemployed citizens, and 300,000 slaves.
Rome was growing rapidly. Citizens were in revolt because they didn’t have jobs and didn’t have a purpose to life. Those in charge started the “dole” for citizens and daily shows to keep people entertained. The cost of these games was extremely high. Doesn’t this all sound very familiar?
Yes, not much of a historian but have always wondered what was left after it fell and what skills remained. Everyone did not die, they went somewhere.
Dennis L.
Farmers could move to a nearby area and apply their skills, sometimes. The aristocrats overseeing a huge number of slaves probably needed to find new work.
Some crafts people could continue, if materials were available.
Slaves and unemployed citizens did not have credit at the food vendors. They mostly died I think. Sure in the first wave food warehouses were robbed but then the ships saw the harbor buyers were fleeing along with their gold and turned for other ports.
YES!

For those reading todays posts … Fast Eddy understands that this will cause extreme distress in many OFWers…
Rattling through all the phases of grief in a single day can lead to …… total despair….. (unless… unless you are of the opinion humans are a cancer… in which case today’s revelations will lead to … euphoria hahaha)…..
But those intelligent enough to recognize and accept — we are being exterminated… if you are feeling blue — contact http://www.FastEddyCEPcope.com …
There are people standing by to prescribe Xanax and a rapid courier ready to deliver.
All Hail Fast Eddy – he called this soon after it began… this is… The Final Solution
Now feel free to have a cry… find someone to hug… there is not much time remaining..
And norm – yes you have permission to go to the booster clinic.
hahaha … it gets worse (or better!)…
Covid was engineered to ensure high rate of mutation hahahahahaha
Oh wow — the evidence is overwhelming … Devil Covid is coming…

So, Omicron surprised everybody:
ð The little bugger knew how to read papers & had collected *ALL* published immune-evading mutations of the successive Alpha (UK) – Beta(Where?) – P1 Gamma(Brasil) – Delta(India), and Eta, Iota, Mu (Peru), etc.
25 published mutations, over 39 non synonymous, over total 52 sequence nucleotide mutations.
@Vbruttel: The chance of randomly evolving 25 published mutations is <1 in 10^65. Only scientists making synthetic polymutants or next generation vaccines can precisely copy spike mutations from all other variants and older immune escape papers.

FE – this link was in next comment following your CEP expose responding top Silva’s essay:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0171298521000395
Antigenic sites in SARS-CoV-2 spike RBD show molecular similarity with pathogenic antigenic determinants and harbors peptides for vaccine development
From Conclusions:
“..Due to the presence of antigenic sites with molecular similarity with antigens from different pathogenic organisms, parasites and virus, it can be ruled out that COVID-19 patients may possibly suffer multi-organ failure as these pathogenic antigens are well known to cause serious damages to different vital organs of human body such as liver, kidney, blood, stomach, heart and bones. This is also clearly evident from complex etiology and pathophysiological outcomes (clinical features or symptoms) as observed in COVID-19 patients. Common in all seven antigenic sites predicted in SARS-CoV-2 was the presence of antigenic determinants from Mycobacterium and Plasmodium antigens suggesting that antimalarial and anti-TB drugs and vaccines could be a good treatment options for COVID-19. Besides this, anti-leprosy, anti-lyme, anti-plague, anti-anthrax drugs/vaccine etc are also expected to be beneficial in COVID-19 treatment. Moreover, individuals previously immunized/vaccinated or had previous history of malaria, tuberculosis or other disease caused by fifteen microorganisms are expected to display a considerable degree of resistance against SARS-CoV-2 infection. The possible explanation is that the memory B or T cells previously generated by the microorganisms (in context here) would get activated again upon SARS-CoV-2 infection (long-lived immunity to reinfection) because of the similar antigenic specificity and due to presence of common antigenic determinants in both. For some of the pathogenic antigens, whose antigenic determinants were predicted similar to SARS-CoV-2′s antigenic sites, very limited information was available in literature regarding their function…”
Bolding mine (if successful, lol cant teach old memory impared dogs new tricks)
Was fairly readable – long introduction detailing immune response good as high level comprehensive overview if dont get distracted by all the acronyms and bog down in details. Caveats: Results and conclusions all from computatoinal molecular modeling/searches. Work all by a single author. Not sure if appearance of multiple antigens from other pathogens is unique to Covid-2 or co-inkydink and if you went looking would find the same results in other virus/pathogens??
believe author had a typo/editing oversight:
… it can be ruled out that COVID-19 patients may possibly suffer multi-organ..
s.b.:
..it can NOT be ruled out that COVID-19 patients may possibly suffer multi-organ..
No doubt this is why covid had barely made a dent in Africa.. particularly the places where malaria is a major problem.
Good point!
Some of these places were using ivermectin to prevent illnesses, as well.
Interesting! Thanks!
A recent article on Saker already putting the anticipated next move out there. This time Russia May just HAVE TO.. has no choice but to, Preemptively strike NATO assets in Poland and other Baltic states. Just like with Ukraine, we just can’t blame them. The bear is facing an existential crisis, and we should all support this absolutely necessary next step. And if nuclear war results, well, Russia just didn’t have a choice. Just know this is the dictatorship you support when you dream of it being the clear morally superior side.
I am afraid we will find out what happens next, and it won’t be good.
99% of Ukrainians are innocent victims of this war.
mainly the innocent victims of corrrrupt USA/NATO/EU, but the top level of the Ukraine gov seems to be filled with corrruption as well.
what would be really sad is if the stories are true, that weak corrrrupt Zelensky has enabled the Azov Natzees to murder 13,000 Russian speaking Ukrainians since 2014.
the world will continue its irreversible descent, but will be a slightly better place if/when the Azov Natzees are exterminated.
I bet some of them will survive this war, kind of like hard to kill cockroaches which they resemble.
too bad, this war could have been avoided, but Zelensky is too weak and too corrrrupt.
I don’t see any point in putting blame on Russia in advance of an attack outside of Ukraine which has only been imagined by some blogger.

INSIDER
Afghanistan’s last finance minister who now drives for Uber said America’s fight for democracy and human rights in his home country was a ‘pretense’
Katie Balevic
Sat, March 19, 2022, 2:53 PM
Payenda told The Washington Post that he blames Americans, his fellow Afghans, and himself for his country’s fall.
Payenda drives for Uber in Washington, DC, and teaches at Georgetown University to support his family.
Afghanistan’s last finance minister, who now drives for Uber in Washington, DC, said America’s fight for democracy in his former country was a “pretense.”
Khalid Payenda told The Washington Post he has been haunted by the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban. Among those he blames are the Americans who touted their mission as upholding democracy and human rights in the region.
“Maybe there were good intentions initially, but the United States probably didn’t mean this,” Payenda said.
America withdrew from Afghanistan in August of 2021 after two decades of war.
Several months before the Taliban swiftly seized control over Afghanistan, former President Donald Trump’s administration signed a conditional peace deal with the militant group in February 2020, promising to pull out US troops over the course of 14 months. The deal notably did not include the Afghan government.
The original date for the full withdrawal of US forces in Afghanistan was September 11, the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Meanwhile, in July, President Joe Biden had been rejecting the prospect of Taliban takeover. The forthcoming collapse of Afghan security forces and rapid advance by the Taliban took officials by surprise.
The messy withdrawal from Afghanistan proved to be a low point for Biden. A terrorist attack near the Kabul airport had killed at least 169 Afghans and 13 US service members, marking the deadliest day for US military members in the country since 2011. Days later, a US drone strike intended to prevent another ISIS-K attack mistakenly targeted an aid worker — killing 10 civilians, including seven children.
Biden defended the decision to stay the course and withdraw troops by the September deadline, blaming the Taliban’s success on Afghanistan political leaders who he said “gave up and fled the country.” He later chose to release only half of Afghanistan’s $7 billion reserve funds held in the US to the country for humanitarian aid, as the country began to spiral into immense poverty and Afghans have taken desperate measures to stay alive. The move triggered backlash from critics who said the sum of the money belongs to the people of Afghanistan.
“We gave them every chance to determine their own future. What we couldn’t provide them was the will to fight for that future,” Biden said in an address to the nation on August 16 last year.
Payenda told the Post he blames Afghans as well, but also Americans for giving up on the values that were supposed to be the very reason for their fight.
“We didn’t have the collective will to reform, to be serious,” said Payenda, who became the deputy finance minister in 2016 before leaving government in 2019.
Payenda also said he blames himself, telling the Post that he wished he never accepted the position as finance minister near the end of 2020.
“I saw a lot of ugliness and we failed. I was part of the failure,” Payenda said. “It’s difficult when you look at the misery of the people and you feel responsible.
How many will starve in the coming months??
HOLY F789!

This is really strange. Working on a novel coronavirus vaccine since July 2019? Seems to be for the COVID-19 problem.
It is just a picture of a piece of tape on a cold box. There is no way to know when it was made 2022? or where or by whom.
OK video on NIH
‘He referred to an interesting promotional B-roll video posted by NIH on Jan 30, 2020’
Covid was acknowledged towards the end of Feb in 2020… there was no vaccine
There are two screen shots – both 2019…

https://www.spreaker.com/user/14399013/mccullough-vandenbossche-audio is that it?
It’s on the bit chute……4 parts….nearly 4 hours of material….
My mistake….these are March ’21….March ’22 interview not yet posted.
I think this is 2022… one year anniversary of the Rumble series
https://www.spreaker.com/user/14399013/mccullough-vandenbossche-audio
Yes
Are there any particular parts to listen to?
It wasn’t as good as the earlier one… the first part with Bossche is good – McC discusses treatments (nothing new) — then the last few minutes where they both have a bit of a screech about Devil Covid….
This has to be Devil Covid … the facts and logic point to it… overwhelming evidence supports this as the end game. Nobody wants to go there because it’s too dark… to accept that is to enter into deep despair for most. I know that.
Hey Fat Eddy are your liberal new Zealand friends not around to play with you? Come on boomer tell us why you moved to that crappy country……soon you will be a Chinese slave……Ha! Ha!
That will be hard for a trust fund boy like you!
Sam, FE isn’t a trust funder, and is – if I recall correctly – the son of an immigrant from E Europe to Canada, and made his own money.
He is also not a ‘Boomer’.
Fast Eddy is the descendant of an alcoholic truck driver.
Is that an improvement over an alcoholic carpenter?
We’re all damaged goods.

“Children, elderly people are dying. The city is destroyed and it is wiped off the face of the earth,” Mariupol police officer Michail Vershnin said in a video filmed Friday that was authenticated by The Associated Press.”
hyperbole for sure.
but:
there is news that hundreds from Mariupol have been captured and taken to Russia.
it might mean that many Azov Natzees have been captured and soon will be eliminated.
a little bit of good news today.
I saw the front of one building smashed up .. and a bunch of paper on the street… no dead bodies.. no demolished city …
Then there is that music hahaha…. what a joke
There is no war – there is fake war — to keep the MOREONS occupied while the Final Solution is put in place
Or the less brainwashed and realist view, that Russia kidnapped Ukrainians to take over the border and do with as they wish. As all brutal invaders in the past have done. Maybe they dress them up in flags and force them to cheer for glorious Russiya like the sham that was the stadium rally. Are you so taken in that you think All Ukrainians are nazi’s! They should all die, and this will magically end the nightmare corporatist new world order? Keep dreaming. And being pleasantly entertained watching ordinary poor people have their worlds torn apart.
I find your view to be more “brainwashed” and less realistic.

absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
if Paul does not understand that, have him ask the HP God, who probably doesn’t understand it either, but it’s worth a shot.
The MOREONS are out in force today
How true. I dont think its FAUX. It could be though. Or possibly a limited tactical exchange to get everyone under the thumb and on board with transhumanism and reset. Putin is all about the injections. Bidens all about the injections. Pesky humans with their ideas are the problem creators!
