Most people have a preconceived notion that there will be a clear winner and loser from any war. In their view, the world economy will go on, much as before, after the war is “won” by one side or the other. In my view, we are basically dealing with a no-win situation. No matter what the outcome, the world economy will be worse off after the fighting stops.
The problem the world economy is up against is the depletion of many kinds of resources simultaneously. This depletion is made worse by rising population, meaning that the resources available need to provide an adequate living for an increasing number of world inhabitants. Because of depletion, the world economy is reaching a point where it can no longer grow in the way it has in the past. Inflation, food shortages and rolling blackouts are likely to become increasing problems in many parts of the world. Eventually, the population is likely to fall.
We are living in a world that is beginning to behave like the players scrambling for seats in a game of musical chairs. In each round of a musical chairs game, one chair is removed from the circle. The players in the game must walk around the outside of the circle. When the music stops, all the players scramble for the remaining chairs. Someone gets left out.
In this post, I will try to explain some of the issues.
[1] In a world with inadequate resources relative to population, conflicts are likely to become increasingly common.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict is one example of a resource-associated conflict. The allies underlying the NATO organization have chosen to escalate the Russia-Ukraine conflict, in part, because the existence of the conflict helps to hide resource shortages and accompanying high prices that are already taking place. No matter how the war is stopped, the underlying resource shortage issue will continue to exist. Therefore, the conflict cannot end well.
If sanctions lead to less trade with Russia (or even worse, less trade with Russia and China), the world economy will have an even greater problem with inadequate resources after the war is over. In fact, many parts of the current economic system are in danger of failing, primarily because depletion is leading to too little energy and other resources per capita. For example, the US dollar may lose its reserve currency status, the world debt bubble may pop, and globalization may take a major step backward.
[2] There is a huge resource depletion issue that authorities in many countries have known about for a very long time. The issue is so frightening that authorities have chosen not to explain it to the general population.
Mainstream media (MSM) practically never mentions that there is a major issue with resource depletion. Instead, MSM tells a narrative about “transitioning to a lower carbon economy,” without mentioning that this transition is out of necessity: The world is up against extraction limits for many kinds of resources. Besides oil, coal and natural gas, resources with limits include many other minerals, such as copper, lithium, and nickel. Other resources, including fresh water and minerals used for fertilizer are also only available in limited supply. MSM fails to tell us that there is no evidence that a transition to a low carbon economy can actually be made.
[3] The big depletion issue is affordability of end products made with high priced resources. The cost of extraction rises, but the ability of the world’s citizens to pay for end products made using these high-cost resources doesn’t rise. Commodity prices do not rise enough to cover the rising cost of extraction. When this affordability limit is hit, it is the resource extracting countries, such as Russia, that find themselves in a terrible situation with respect to the financial well-being of their populations.
The big issue that hits because of depletion is a price conflict. Businesses extracting resources need high prices so that they can reinvest in new mines, in ever more costly locations, but consumers cannot afford these high prices.
In a sense, the higher cost is because of “inefficiency.” As a result of depletion, it takes more hours of labor, more machine time, and a greater use of energy products to extract the same quantity of a given resource that was previously extracted elsewhere. Growing efficiency tends to help wages, but growing inefficiency tends to work the opposite way: Wages don’t rise, certainly not as rapidly as prices of end products.
As a result, commodity exporters, such as Russia, are caught in a bind: They cannot raise prices enough to make new investments profitable. The problem is that the world’s consumers cannot afford the resulting high prices of essentials such as food, electricity and transportation. Russia reports very high reserve amounts, especially for natural gas and coal. It is doubtful, however, that these reserves can actually be extracted. Over the long term, selling prices cannot be maintained at a sufficiently high level to cover the huge cost of extracting, transporting and refining these resources.
The success of a country’s economy can, in some sense, be measured by the country’s per capita GDP. Russia’s GDP per capita has tended to lag far behind that of the US (Figure 2).
Russia’s inflation-adjusted GDP per capita fell after the collapse of the central government of the Soviet Union in 1991. It was able to grow again, once oil prices began to rise in the early 2000s. Since 2013, Russia’s GDP per capita growth has again fallen behind that of the US, as increases in oil and other commodity prices again lagged the rising cost of production. Given these difficulties with depletion, Russia is becoming increasingly unwilling to ignore poor treatment it receives from Ukraine.
There may be another factor, as well, leading especially to the escalation of the conflict. The US seems to covet Russia’s resources. Some powers behind the throne seem to believe that Western forces supporting Ukraine can quickly win in this conflict. If such an early win occurs, the aim is for Western forces to step in and inexpensively ramp up Russian resource extraction, allowing the world a new source of cheap-to-produce fossil fuels and other minerals.
In this context, Russia launched an attack on Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Ukraine has presented Russia with problems for many years. One issue has been transit fees for natural gas passing through the country; is Ukraine taking too much gas out? Another problem area has been the rise of the far-right Azov regiment. Russia has also expressed concern that NATO has been training soldiers within Ukraine, even though Ukraine is not a member of NATO. Russia doesn’t want military, trained by NATO, at its doorstep.
[4] World economic growth very much depends on growing energy consumption.
There are two ways of measuring world GDP. The standard one is with the production of each country measured in inflation-adjusted US$, with the changing relative value to the US$ considered. The other approach uses “Purchasing Power Parity” GDP. The latter is supposedly not affected by the changing level of the dollar, relative to other currencies. Inflation-Adjusted Purchasing Power Parity GDP is only available for 1990 and subsequent years. Figure 3 shows the high correlation between energy consumption and PPP GDP during the period from 1990 through 2020.
The reason for a strong association between GDP growth with energy consumption growth is a physics-based reason. Producing goods and providing services requires the “dissipation” of energy products because the laws of physics tell us that energy is required to move any object from one place to another, or to heat any object. In the latter case, it is the individual molecules within a substance that move faster and faster as they get hotter. The economy is a “dissipative structure” in physics terms because of the need for energy dissipation to provide the work needed to make the system operate.
Human beings are also dissipative structures. The energy that humans get comes from the dissipation of the energy found in foods of every kind. Food energy is commonly measured in Calories (technically, kilocalories).
[5] World economic growth also seems to depend on factors besides energy consumption.
The fitted equation on Figure 3 (the equation beginning with “y”) implies that GDP is rising much more rapidly than energy consumption, almost twice as rapidly. Over the entire 30-year period, the actual growth rate in energy consumption averages about 1.8% a year. If energy consumption growth had really been 1.8% per year, the fitted equation implies that growth in GDP would have greatly sped up over the period. (In fact, the growth rate in energy consumption was falling over the 30-year period, but GDP grew at closer to a constant rate. In terms of the fitted equation, these two conditions are equivalent.)
How can GDP rise so much more rapidly than energy dissipation? There seem to be several ways such a higher rate of increase can occur, on a temporary basis:
[a] A worldwide trend toward an economy using more services. The production of services tends to require less energy consumption than the production of essential goods, such as food, water, housing and local transportation. As the world economy gets wealthier, it can afford to add more services, such as education, healthcare, and childcare.
[b] A worldwide trend toward more wage and wealth disparity. Such a trend tends to happen with more specialization and more globalization. Strangely enough, a trend to more wage disparity allows the world economy to continue to grow without adding a proportionately greater amount of energy consumption use because of the different spending patterns between low-paid workers and high-paid workers.
Analyzing the situation, the world is filled mostly with low-paid workers. To the extent that the pay of these low-paid workers can be squeezed down, it can prevent these workers from buying goods that tend to use relatively high amounts of energy products, such as automobiles, motorcycles and modern homes. At the same time, growing wage disparity allows the higher-paid workers to be paid more. These higher-paid workers tend to spend a disproportionate share of their income on services, such as education and healthcare, which tend to consume less energy.
Thus, greater wage disparity tends to shift spending away from goods and toward services. The main beneficiaries are the top 1% of workers (who buy mostly services, requiring little energy consumption), rather than the remaining 99% (who would really like goods such as a car and their own home, which require much more energy consumption).
[c] Improvements in technology. Improvements in technology are helpful in raising GDP because technological improvements tend to make finished goods and services more affordable. With greater affordability, more people can afford goods and services. This effect is favorable for allowing the economy, as measured by GDP, to grow more quickly than energy consumption.
There is a catch associated with using improved technology to make goods and services more affordable. Improved technology tends to increase wage disparity because it nearly always leads to owners and a few highly educated workers being paid more, while workers doing the more routine parts of processes are paid less. Thus, it tends to lead to the problem discussed above: [b] A trend toward wage and wealth disparity.
Also, with improved technology, available resources tend to be depleted more quickly than without improved technology. This happens because finished goods are less expensive, so more people can afford them. Once resources start getting exhausted, improved technology can’t fix the situation because resource extraction costs are likely to rise more rapidly than can be offset with the impact of new technology.
[d] A worldwide trend toward more debt at ever-lower interest rates.
We all know that the monthly payment required to purchase a car or home is lower if the interest rate on the debt used to finance the purchase is lower. Thus, falling interest rates can make paychecks go further. Both businesses and citizens can afford to purchase more goods and services using credit, so the overall level of debt tends to rise with falling interest rates.
If we are only considering the period from 1990 to the present, the trend is clearly toward lower interest rates. These lower interest rates are part of what is making the GDP growth higher than what would be expected if interest rates and debt levels remained constant.
[6] The world economy now seems to be reaching limits with respect to many of the variables allowing world economic growth to continue as it has in the past, as discussed in Sections [4] and [5], above.
Figure 6 shows that there have been two major step-downs in world inflation-adjusted per capita PPP GDP. The first one occurred in the 2008-2009 period; the second one occurred in 2020. Figure 7 shows the sharp dips in energy consumption occurring in the same time periods.
In 2021, energy prices started to rise rapidly when the world economy tried to reopen. This rapid rise in prices strongly suggests that energy extraction limits are being reached.
Another clue that energy production limits are being reached comes from the fact that the group of oil exporters, OPEC+, found that they couldn’t actually ramp up their oil production as quickly as they promised. Once oil production is cut back because of inadequate prices, it is hard to get production to rise again, even if prices temporarily rise because the many pieces of the chain supporting this extraction are broken. For example, trained workers leave and find jobs elsewhere, and contractors go out of business because of inadequate profits.
If we think about it, Items [5a], [5b], [5c] and [5d] are all reaching limits as well. Item [5d] is probably clearest: Interest rates can no longer be lowered. In fact, nearly everyone says that interest rates should now be raised because of the high inflation rates. If interest rates are raised, commodity prices, including prices for fossil fuels, will fall.
With lower fossil fuel prices, there will be pressure for oil, gas and coal producers to reduce their production, even from today’s lower levels. Because of the tight connection between energy and GDP, lower energy production will tend to push economies further toward contraction. Of course, this will make resource exporters, such as Russia, worse off.
As the world economy enters recession, we can expect that Item [5a], the shift from goods toward services, to turn around. People with barely enough money for necessities will reduce their use of services such as haircuts and music lessons. Item [5b], globalization and related wage disparity, is already under pressure. Countries are finding that with broken supply chains, more local production is needed. In the US, recent wage gains have tended to go to the lowest-paid workers. Item [5c], technology growth, cannot ramp up as resources needed from around the world are increasingly unavailable, due to broken supply chains and depletion.
[7] We are likely facing a collapsing world economy because of the limits being reached. Adding sanctions against Russia will further push the world economy in the direction of collapse.
Many sources report that Russian exports of wheat, aluminum, nickel, and fertilizers will be “temporarily” disrupted. A few sources note that Russia plays an important role in the processing of uranium fuel used in nuclear power plants. According to the Conversation:
Most of the 32 countries that use nuclear power rely on Russia for some part of their nuclear fuel supply chain.
We have become used to efficient air travel, but sanctions against Russia make this less possible, especially for flights to Southeast Asia. A Bloomberg article called Siberian Detour Requires Airlines to Retrace Cold War Era Routes gives the example of direct flights from Finland to Southeast Asia being canceled because they have become too expensive and are too time-consuming with the required detours. It becomes necessary to fly indirect connecting routes if a person wants to travel. Many other routes have similar problems.
US President Joseph Biden is warning that food shortages are likely in many parts of the world as a result of the sanctions placed against Russia.
According to a video shown on Zerohedge,
“It’s going to be real. The price of the sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia. It’s imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well.”
If the world economy were doing well, and if Russia were a tiny part of the world economy, perhaps the sanctions could be tolerated by the world economy. As it is, the Russia-Ukraine conflict acts to hide the underlying resource shortage problem. This is possible because, with the conflict, the resource shortages can be described as “temporary” and “necessary” in the context of the terrible things the Russians are doing. The way the West frames the problem provides a scapegoat to deflect anger toward, but it doesn’t fix the problem.
Russia started out being very disadvantaged because commodity prices, in recent years, have not been rising high enough to ensure an adequate living for Russian citizens and high enough tax revenue for the Russian government. Adding sanctions against Russia will simply make Russia’s problems worse.
[8] There is little reason to believe that Russia will “give up” in response to sanctions imposed by the United States and other countries.
The attacks by Russia of Ukrainian sites seems to be occurring for many related reasons. Russia can no longer tolerate being inadequately compensated for the resources it is extracting and selling to Ukraine and the rest of the world. It is tired of being “pushed around” by the rich economies, especially the United States, as NATO adds more countries. It is also tired of NATO training Ukrainian soldiers. Russia seems to have no plan to gain the entire territory of Ukraine; it is more of a temporary police action.
Russia’s underlying problem is that it can no longer produce commodities that the world wants as inexpensively as the world demands. Building all the infrastructure needed to extract and ship more fossil fuel resources would take more capital spending than Russia can afford. The selling price will never rise high enough to justify these investments, including the cost of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Russia has nothing to lose at this point. The current situation is not working; going back to it is no incentive for stopping the current conflict.
Russia is in some ways like a heavily armed, suicidal old man, who can no longer earn an adequate living. The economic system of Russia is no longer working as it should. Russia is incredibly well-armed. The situation reminds a person of the story of Samson, in his old age, taking down the temple of the Philistines and losing his own life at the same time. Russia has no reason to back down in response to sanctions.
[9] Leaders of the world, including Joe Biden, appear to be oblivious to the situation we are facing.
Leaders of the world have created ridiculous narratives that overlook the critical role commodities play. They seem to believe that it is possible to cut off purchases from Russia with, at most, temporary harm to the rest of the world economy.
The history of the world shows that the populations of many civilizations have outgrown their resource bases and have collapsed. Physics points out that this outcome is almost inevitable because of the way the Universe is constructed. Everything is constantly evolving, even economies. The climate is constantly evolving, as are the species inhabiting the Earth.
Elected leaders need a story of everlasting growth that they can tell their citizens. They cannot even consider the physics-based way the world economy operates, and the resulting expected pattern of overshoot and collapse. Modelers of what are intended to be long-lasting structures cannot accept this outcome either.
Limits which are defined based on affordability of end products are incredibly difficult to model, so creative narratives have been developed suggesting that humans can move away from fossil fuels if they so desire. No one stops to think that economies cannot continue to exist using a much lower quantity of energy, any more than an adult human can get along on 500 calories a day. Both are dissipative structures; the ongoing energy requirement is built in. Factories close when electricity, diesel and other energy products are cut off.
[10] The sanctions and the Russia-Ukraine conflict cannot end well.
The world economy is already on the edge of collapse because of the resource limits it is hitting. Intentionally stopping Russia’s output of resources like fertilizer and processed uranium is certain to make the situation worse, not better. Once Russia’s output is stopped, it is likely to be impossible to restart Russia’s production at the same level. Trained workers who lose their jobs will likely find jobs elsewhere, for one thing. The shortfall in output will affect countries around the world.
The United States dollar is now the world’s reserve currency. The sanctions being applied indirectly encourage countries to use other currencies to work around the sanctions. There seems to be a substantial chance that the US economy will lose its role as the center of international trade. If such a change takes place, the US will no longer be able to import far more than it exports, year after year.
A major issue is the huge amount of debt most countries of the world have. With a rapidly slowing world economy, repaying debt with interest will become impossible. Debt defaults will further wreak havoc with the world economic system.
We don’t know the exact timing of how this will play out, but the situation does not look good.

This forum is not about consciousness. I am very much into this and anyone who is interested, can send to my GMail (chngtg)
Whatever that we read from the internet is just from the internet. Right now, it becomes very evident that what is being put on the internet is not the true situation.
I have been thinking hard about it about all this news feed. What if these are just feeds from the Matrix?
In a sense, they are just feeds from the Matrix.
The controllers of the Matrix decide what to feed the consumers of the information. This may be fact or fiction, and often it’s a mixture of both. The controllers also decide what not to feed the consumers. So the latter only get “all the news that’s fit to print” or “all the news that’s printed to fit”.
The Matrix must present a facsimile of reality in order for its version of events to be accepted as reality by its target audience. There’s got to be enough verifiable fact and enough plausibility in the feed to entice the feeders to swallow it.
It’s a bit like that Chinese baby food that Eddy mentioned. It has to have a certain amount of actual baby food in the mix to get the babies to eat it.
How one perceive the world depends on one’s reality that is being presented to him/her. For simplicity, I will refer to this person as a “him”. I am pretty sure there are no “sexist” people here on OFW. Man and women are “created” unequally so that they can combine to work synergistically to raise a family.
A person who is born and raise in his hometown and never left home will have a different worldview than the one who had traveled far and wide. The person has no right to dictate to others what is right or wrong but this is what is happening now.
Western developed countries have substituted their beliefs and culture with science and now “The Science”.
In my little reality here in Penang, we are fortunately to have an infusion of east and west. We have an infusion of technology and science (now similarly Penang is infected with “The Science”) and culture and traditional beliefs. Penang has attracted a lot of foreign tech corporation since 1970s where Intel, AMD, etc set up their first overseas plants in Penang.
One real story as related to one of those pioneers. One of the large semiconductor factory wanted to expand and the local contractors built a long wall. It was perfect but the next morning, the wall was slanted/tilted and it was torn down again and rebuilt. Same results the next day. The managing director, who is an American (since it is an American company) was furious that the local contractors cannot do a good job (even though the whole factory was built by local contractors).
A few times, someone suggested that we should do a prayer to appease the local spirit. Of course the white guy from America, who is based on science is totally skeptical and played along. So, there was a small feast and some prayers were made.
The wall was made and guess what? It was straight the next day and it was still straight 40 years later. Can science explain this?
In Japan, even in cartoons like those from Studio Ghilbli, there are spirits everywhere in the world. In Japan, they respected the spirits and coexist harmoniously.
Although I am engineer by training and thoroughly science-based, most of us in this part of the world believe in things that science cannot explain. It is part of our culture and beliefs. It coexists in our community.
Governments have tried to convince people for quite a while that they (+ science) have solutions to all of our problem. It is becoming increasingly obvious that this is not the case. I expect that there will be a resurgence in thinking about religion. We, as humans, need a solution to our problems, long-term if not short-term. It is becoming obvious that we are being misled about the availability of solutions here on earth.
Science never has the solutions to problems; maybe you were thinking about technology? Science increases our understanding of a particular situation.
“Here on earth”? Are there solutions elsewhere?
Religion will never give us solutions to physical constraints but some people’s interpretation of their particular religious teaching (aka opinions) may offer them some solace.
Mike, that was a classic strawman attack. You paraphrased Gail’s point to the point where it was no longer the point she made.
Gail wrote the equivalent of “governments + science don’t have all the answers.” That’s a fair paraphrase of her point.
You restated that “as science never has the solutions to problems,” which was a total mischaracterization of her actual point. You are abusing her with your rudeness and taking advantage of her goodwill and kindly nature.
People like you should be sent to bed without milk and cookies.
I’ve been reading your comments for months, and it pains me to have to say it but it has become obvious that you’re not contributing anything meaningful here.
mike is only useful as a punching bag… I cannot recall him ever making a memorable comment —well except The Comment… that one is kinda like Maradona’s ‘hand of god’ … never to be forgotten…
hahahahahahhahaha… I wonder how it feels to have zero intellectual respect yet continue to post and demand it — on OFW… you’d think after awhile you’d realize you are out of your depth… but that would take a bit of intelligence to realize that…

Can we focus on the fact that most deaths and hospitalizations in the UK involved full vaxxed MOREONS… and why the UK govt has now stopped publishing that data?
Ahhh… if people saw the data it would encourage vaccine hesitancy…. right?
Umm… but…
Nope. Gail did say governments, you’re right, but she added science in parens. I didn’t mischaracterise her point because I was responding to part of the statement, not the whole statement. You seemed to mischaracterise my statement as some kind of characterisation of Gail’s comment (or part of it) but that is just not true.
Regardless, do you disagree with what I wrote (pretend it isn’t a reply to another comment)? If so, why?
Gosh, if you think my timid response is rude and abusing, you ought to try reading a few other commenters here but thanks for reading my comments. It’s appreciated.
Mike, do I disagree with what you wrote?
Let’s see. You made three statements and asked three questions.
I don’t disagree with you asking questions. They were all valid questions and your spelling, syntax and punctuation were perfect.
That leaves the three statements:
(1) Science never has the solutions to problems
I disagree with this, certainly. Although you may quibble about the meaning of the verb “have”. People have discovered things using the scientific method. These discoveries can be described as things that science “has”. If we have a problem and we look to science for a solution, or employ science to seek a solution, we made find a solution to our problem that science “has”.
(2) Science increases our understanding of a particular situation
I agree with this in part. It is possible to use science or the scientific method to increase our understanding of a particular situation, but this path doesn’t necessarily lead to improved understanding. Sometimes science and scientists get things wrong. Using a flawed paradigm or theory as a guide can lead us astray.
(3) Religion will never give us solutions to physical constraints but some people’s interpretation of their particular religious teaching (aka opinions) may offer them some solace.
I disagree with the first part of this statement.
Religion, however it is defined, is in the business of giving solutions or pointing the way to solving all kinds of problems. Whether the solutions work or not is another matter.
Take the well-known Muslim proverb, “if the mountain won’t come to Muhammad, Muhammad must go to the mountain.” The physical constraint on the movement of the mountain is neutralized by the movement of the Prophet, peace be upon Him. Neat!
I have a bunch of screwdrivers. They are excellent for screwing in all sorts of screws and also for unscrewing them.
But they are useless for screwing in nails or unscrewing them.
I use a hammer for hammering in nails and a nail puller for pulling them out.
Different tools for different tasks, Mike. Religion is an invaluable useful tool for humans to live well. That’s why it has evolved over aeons as a human extension. People who reject its wisdom and rebel against the Creator are not doing themselves any favors in the long run.
Solutions to physical constraints? Like how to get a woman with a size 44 waist into a size 28 dress? Neither religion nor science will solve that one without a lot of dieting.
Nice to know you agree with at least some of my comment, Tim.
With regard to science not having solutions, you seem to agree wholly with my position as you have to rely on a way of thinking about science to think that science “has” solutions. Of course, people can use science to come up with solutions but science is about understanding not application of that understanding.
I agree that scientists sometimes get things wrong but that doesn’t invalidate what science is about.
As far as religion is concerned, a muslim proverb is not religion. Different tools for different tasks? Yes but that is no justification for just using any old tool to solve a problem. You have to use a tool that is designed for the task or that can be adapted to the task. That, in no way, suggests religion can solve our problems. Many things can be used for useful means or destructive means and religion has been used for the latter in the past.
It seems that our ‘problems’ are located and have their meaning in the context of the earth. It is hard to see how they could have a ‘solution’ out of that same context.
Part of the ‘problem’ may be expectations about this world and how it works. It is what it is, and in that sense it does not have any inherent ‘problems’. Whether people can reconcile themselves to the world is another matter.
Most Romans did not believe in an afterlife, and the Stoics taught that “a good death would be characterized by mental tranquility, a lack of complaining, and gratitude for the life we’ve been given. In other words, as the final act of living, a good death is characterized by acceptance and gratitude.”
Some might say that it does not really matter how people die, so much as how they live, and even that ‘matters’ only in the sense that it matters to particular people, and then only for a time. Obviously it is up to persons how they personally approach such matters.
I am certainly not going to argue with people about how they ‘should’ die. I am pretty sure that is a personal matter. Whatever works for people. I tend not to preach ‘death’ at them either. Let them enjoy life while they can.
It is all good.
There is something to be said for ‘dark ages’
you would certainly make an excellent witchfinder general eddy
surplus humankind is the problem

we have also created gods to whom we look for salvation

“they had better do it,
and decrease the surplus population.”
Norman, are you always this dismal?
Or do you ever think to yourself,
“What a wonderful world!
…… Oh yeah!”?
of course i do Tim
and i can quote Dickens, Housman, Kipling, WS, endlessly, and revel in it, and write verse that people tell me they enjoy reading, in different genres to this.
but if you can show me the error of ‘surplus humankind is the problem’ then i would be delighted to know about it.
i defy anyone, (well almost anyone) to read this, also from A Christmas Carol, without a shiver running up their spine:
”The boy is Ignorance. The girl is Want. Beware of them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased.”
a bumbling amateur writer like me, draws inspiration from such mastery of words.
We have created our images of God. This in no way negates the very real possibility of a true God being behind the continued creation of this Universe. In fact, a true God may be providing the power the Universe needs to expand and continue. We have our own view of how the Earth’s systems should behave, but this view is not necessarily correct. Science cannot correctly forecast how self-organizing systems will work.
God doesn’t give us perfect answers, but quite a few religions have come to the conclusion that there is some type of life after death. This life after death almost certainly does not happen on this Earth. It may not even be in this Universe. The form of life after death may be quite different from what we have now.
Some sort of ‘God’ or ‘Higher Power’ may or may not exist.
It is probably better to speak of a ‘real God’ than a ‘true God’ as ‘truth’ is the accordance of propositions with reality. Objects are neither ‘true’ nor ‘false’, they ‘are’ or they ‘are not’.
There are different scientific theories about whether the expansion of the universe involves the creation of energy, or whether energy is just transformed into new forms (the first law of thermodynamics), like potential gravitational energy into positive energy (or whatever).
If more energy were produced, then that would not prove a God, it would just be a fact that more energy were produced by the expansion of space. There is no pre-existent syllogism into which that would fit that would conclude a ‘God’. And it certainly would not make so a host of preconceived propositions about what a ‘God’ would entail.
Whether science can fully understand self-organising systems or not also does not prove a God.
And the existence of a God would not necessarily entail an afterlife, which is conceivable with or without a God.
Religionists tend to try to use the supposed ‘gaps’ in science to ‘prove’, or at least find a space for, a God, but it does not really follow. Science could be entirely comprehensive and there could still be a God. Or science could be limited, and there were still not God.
Religion is a matter of ‘faith’, as is an afterlife. They cannot be proved. Certainly the inability of humans to construct complete proofs would not itself be a ‘proof’ of a God.
That seems to be the situation, and I accept it.
Some things just cannot be proved or disproved – an infinite number of things that the human mind can conceive. We cannot ‘prove’ that an undetectable host of unicorns does not dance at the bottom of the garden every night. The undetectable is beyond proof, but that does not imply that it exists.
It is all good.
Any evidence that that 40 year old story is actually a true description of events then? And what do you mean by science can’t explain it? Was there any reason proposed for why the wall slanted overnight? Did anyone see anything? Was the third attempt done differently (apart from the prayer)?
Mike, I recommend that you get stoned as soon as possible. This may open some new channels in your mind.
LSD seems to be a good choice.
Nah, I prefer to think clearly and about reality. If you prefer not to, that’s up to you.
Curiouser and curiouser!
From Mark Crispin Miller’s latest roundup of recent clot shot related deaths: “Note the death, in Russia, of ultra-nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky—recipient of eight COVID shots since August, 2020—after “a serious and prolonged illness.”
Eight COVID shots?!. He should have been well protected. Perhaps Putin did it?

My, my. He gassed the train and shot up the commuters in NYC.
> Brooklyn shooting: 16 injured, including 10 shot, at New York subway station
Five people were in critical but stable condition, the fire department said at a briefing
Ten people were shot and a total of 16 injured in a subway shooting in New York City on Tuesday morning, a New York fire department spokesperson (FDNY) said.
Five people were in critical but stable condition, the FDNY said at a short lunchtime briefing. Six more suffered smoke inhalation, cuts from shrapnel and injuries related to panic, officials said.
The New York police commissioner, Keechant Sewell, said no one was considered to have life-threatening injuries and that the shooting was not being investigated as terrorism.
A suspect, described as a short and heavy set Black man wearing a gas mask and a green construction vest, fled the scene, authorities said.
Authorities earlier said “several undetonated devices” were found at the scene in Brooklyn, though police later said none were “active explosive devices”.
At the press briefing, Sewell said the gunman put on a gas mask and pulled a gas canister out of his bag. The train filled with smoke and the gunman began shooting, aiming at people on the subway and on the platform to which the train pulled up.
Earlier, a New York fire department (NYFD) spokesperson told the Guardian that at about 8.30am, firefighters responded to a report of smoke coming from the D, N and R lines at the 36th Street station in Sunset Park in Brooklyn. Firefighters arrived to find multiple people shot and “several undetonated devices”.
Officers were searching for the suspect, the NYPD spokesperson said.

“A suspect, described as a short and heavy set Black man”
Putin in blackface?
It was a mostly peaceful massacre.
A description likely to offend all four subgroups….
short,
heavy set,
black,
man..
How heighest, fattist, racist and sexist by the witnesses!
#Defundthepolice
Where are these fellows when you need them … like at the ottawa protests?
Instead of randomly shooting people why not go out a hero…???
Fascinating to watch the slow motion collapse of a civilisation such as the USA. How is that diversity working for you now guys? 8.5% inflation. “Bring to me your huddled masses ….” Why? They can’t afford to eat or have shelter over their heads.
The USA was a great idea back in the 1800s. C’est la vie and pass the Oreos.
According to David in the we have 10 more years of BAU……while all the other countries fail
Tell me please. When your president Biden is giving public addresses do they suit him up in Huggies or Pampers to save the country embarrassment?
I wanna see a Black Mirror episode where Biden gets ____ by a pig. PPV
Putin was sighted running away from the scene with a gun in hand. Brave Azov Nazis tried to stop his getaway and then dispatched medical aid to the victims.
And Covid mRNA jabs to solve some emergency situations…
Falseflag anyone? The video has people walking around the dead staring at their mobile phones:) Seriously, does anyone believe any of this shit?
yes it does look a bit off… ya’d think that if someone was opening fire on the subway … it would be complete bedlam….

An advisor to the Kremlin “We are at war with the West”
The problem is that Russia can’t win a conventional war against NATO. This is going nuclear at some point.
The advisor seems to read OFW.
Very interesting interview. The person being interviewed thinks that Russia will be pushed more toward China. He points out that Russia can get along without Europe as a customer better than Europe can get along without Russia’s fossil fuels. NATO is a real problem for Russia. He thinks that the Russia-phobia that is being promoted in Europe and elsewhere is a huge problem, not unlike the anti-Sematimism before World War II.
whatever resources Russia has, they are of no value unless they can be sold and converted to something else.
China’s ability to do so is limited. Russia’s ability to extract and deliver elsewhere at below market value is also limited.
China must produce and export—just ‘production’ isn’t enough (they filled their cities with empty skyscrapers as a case in point.)
mars or moonshots might be good for national pride–but it won’t fill bellies.
If Europe is economically devastated, and cannot ‘produce’… ie convert resources into goods people want— Russia’s resources will stay in the ground. No one wants Russian goods.
Not that any of this will matter much.
Men’s actions are driven by pride and the certainties of the day, which is what drives Putin right now.
“whatever resources Russia has, they are of no value unless they can be sold and converted to something else.”
What are you smoking? Russia can use the resources itself! They are one of the most self-sufficient major nations (food, energy, industry) on the planet and are going to be more-so.
all forms of currency represent a token of energy availability
Wages are only created when one form of energy is converted into another
But conversion, by the fixed laws of physics, is dissipative.
(the energy in a gallon of petrol, converted into forward motion, loses about 90% efficiency in doing so)
so if resources are converted into ‘products’ then there must always be more (ongoing) energy made available (to the population in general) with which to support the currency that is being used to buy those products. —ie to create real wages. (just printing money doesn’t work)
Russia cannot indefinitely extract and consume within itself, because it would submerge itself in unusable ‘stuff’. Chinese skyscrapers are a perfect example of this,
This is why 56% of the Russian economic system is dependent on selling energy elsewhere. If using it ‘internally’ was such a good economic idea, that is exactly what they would do.
But they don’t. I’ve tried to explain why. i could be wrong of course.
the other 46% of the Russian economy is kept viable by the selling of fossil fuels as well.
a nation cannot continually extract–consume–create its own stuff within itself, other than as an agrarian economic system
It may well be that Putin has figured out the above too, and is trying to push outwards to avoid implosion. Russia is a cold country. When the oil finally runs out, it isn’t going to be a very pleasant place to be in winter.
“a nation cannot continually extract–consume–create its own stuff within itself, other than as an agrarian economic system”
Norm, why not? This is what the world has been doing?
it only appears as if we have been successfully doing that.
starting 8/10000 years ago the world created an agriculture economic system, the critical factor about it was that it was self limiting.
ie—humankind could not grow faster than the plants we lived on—we could only sell and profit from the products of the land—grain, meat, clothing timber and so on.
we couldn’t ‘clear fell’ an entire forest in a single year, and sell/burn the timber…..there would have been no market for it.
so apart from the import/export of a few high value items, eg wine and spices, nations mainly remained as self supporting entities.
The fizzing fuse was that we had created money—energy tokens–as part of the economic system.
so when somebody lit a fire under a steam engine, we found that stuff could be created at a faster and faster rate, provided we supplied the fuel to keep the boilers going.
which we duly did.
coal mines, then oil/gas fields fed the great engines, churning stuff out at a rate that could only be consumed by selling it around the world, for hard cash. No one nation could produce/sell/buy/recycle its own stuff forever.
Wars became a good way of consuming too.
the faster we produced stuff, the more money flowed in, the higher went the wages, to pay for more oil coal and gas.——-and of course more ‘stuff’.
Money became the fixation, and a few became billionaires. (most stayed poor).
This has gone on for the last 300 years. (not 10k years)
but there is a teensy snag to it all.
It can only move forward, it cannot remain static. Our enegry tokens can only be supported by ever-increasing inputs of fuels, because we must produce more this year than last year in order to stay economically solvent.
if we produce less this year than last year, then we must ‘borrow’ money in order to support our expected lifestyle. (the politics of the ponzi scheme)
In other words we fool ourselves by going into debt, thinking that things will be ok ‘next year’.
They would, were it not for the fact that we can no longer afford to buy the stuff we make. (the energy involved costs too much)
So we borrow still more money to pretend otherwise.
This answers your question about what the world has been doing.
Unlike Ivan I agree with your analysis except for the part about putin, which implies some sort of shortcoming within natural law; how else should the events of mankind be driven other than mankind himself? there is no other way. I understand the ruefulness regarding the consequences but not the dynamic itself. And the “pride.” I don’t see that. Something had to give did it not?
Fascinating insight from Norman there. I don’t know how he manages to read Putin’s mind. Oh, I forgot. Great minds think alike!
4 years ago i said Putin was taking an aggressive stance—but I take your joke about reading Putins mind.
But do read on and feel free to interject where I’m wrong?
Putin is a man, like every other. but with more power than most. Many men are consumed with self pride’ to the detriment of people and nations they govern.
That has been a problem for millennia. it is a form of mental instability.
Some men have the driving urge to control others by whatever means is available, convinced of their infallibility.
Dictators can never have ‘enough’ (read your history books)
Therefore they must expand. But no one nation can support such self-aggrandisement.
He cannot be seen to fail or compromise, that would be weakness)–in that respect his mind is an open book. Most minds are, if you take the time to look.
Hi t.ler knew his war was over by 1943–he too couldn’t back down. His pride wouldn’t let him, so millions died unnecessarily.
Trump lost his election…he still can’t back down and admit defeat.
Every dictator (and wannabe) functions in the same way. They hear only what idiots want them to hear. Trump needs be constantly told the election was stolen.
Maybe you can see similarities and also recognise such traits closer to home—but that is for you to decide.
It doesn’t require ‘mind reading’.
Thanks, Norman.
Were I think you are wrong—not that I accused you of error—is in assuming that you have the faintest idea what’s going on in world affairs or Russian affairs in general or President Putin’s motivations or mental state in particular.
In this you are far from being alone. It’s a very common trait for spectators to think they know more than the players or the referees, umpires and linesmen. But we don’t have a clue—not me, not you, and not Noam Chomsky—we really don’t.
Some commentators do have a bit of clue about some of what’s going on with the Ukraine conflict, and I suspect Scott Ritter is one of these illuminati. But the people who really do have more than a clue are not telling.
Thinking we have a pretty good grasp about what’s going on when a little bit of reflection and commonsense should convince us that don’t have enough facts and data to support such a stance is an example of the Dunning–Kruger effect.
This short video explains the phenomenon pretty well.
Tim
i make no pretence of understanding ‘world affairs’
no one does
what i offer is the certainty that dictators have used the same playbook for 000s of years—maybe with the odd page added or deleted according to circumstance.
they use that playbook because it’s the only one there is.
ie:-
1—grab power from a (somehow) weakened state
2– Immediately hire a praetorian guard/secret police who’s existence is entirely dependent on you staying alive
3… Kill off or neutralize any opposition, and make no secret of it.
4—make sure your immediate supporters know they can loot the country in return for loyalty.–hence the oligarchs.
5—neutralize the media.
6—Make sure the ‘masses’ are convinced their problems are someone else’s fault.–propaganda.
7—start invading adjacent territories to justify that
The above isn’t a matter of understanding ‘world affairs’—it’s a matter of knowing the function of the dictators mind.
overlay the above list on any political dictatorship of the last century, and let me know how it fits. And if any of it doesn’t fit.

Conceited comment; par for the course.
Such certainty is breathtaking!
not sure if that comment was meant for me—if it was, please point out out where it’s wrong
In related news, China is four times as big as Europe in population, and more than twice the economy. But apparently it can not absorb productively the resources that Europe uses. I wonder also what is this european productivity Norman speaks of. Most factories are now closed, the crisis of natural gas is particularly acute because euros use russian gas to stay warm and cook.
European productivity is, for example, german engineering—which the world seems to want
I don’t think most factories are closed—yet. But they obviously will close if this goes on.
looked at overall, what we seem to be on is the final downhill slope of the energy cliff, with everyone trying to grab a last foothold in detriment to everyone else.
that is a far far bigger looming catastrophe than Putin and the Uktraine
Well, you would be wrong. In Italy they started closing in 1992. This used to be the fourth economy in the world.
i dont know the circumstances/numbers of factories closing 30 years ago—it would be pretty tenuous i think to link them to what is happening right now
Who thinks that Russian actions depend only by Putin and not by ruling Russian class (supported by majority of Russian population) is misleading oneself.
the record is very clear Student
numerous opponents of Putin have found themselves dead—you can check that for yourself.
The wealth of Russian oligarchs is in the personal gift of Putin himself–you can check that too
as to the Russian people–they are sliding back to the era of Stalin or worse. They are being fed propaganda, which cannot survive over time.
Putin isn’t entirely stupid, he can read the future sans oil, and knows the inevitability of it.
He is stupid in thinking Russia can come out on top in any global economic/social catastrophe
Vlad the Impaler aka Gasputin, is a six-cylinder Karla-Moscow-Centre trained hood if ever you saw one! His body count must be almost as long as Bill and Hillary’s. Isn’t that right Connie?
i dont think bill and Hillary were bumping off many senators were they?
I dont recall Hillary leading rallies in chants of ‘lock him up’ eiether—thought thought might have been a good idea come to think of it
He knows it so well, you would think he is here. Tell us which shelves are empty in Russia, Norm.
I appreciate you general line of argument here, norm, but what makes you think Putin actually and stupidly overestimates Russia’s future when acknowledging that everything that comes out of his mouth is PR? And what makes you think that in a global catastrophe some countries won’t fare relatively better than others – for a while at least. It’s common sense to me that any nuclear armed and nuclear powered country will fare relatively better or everyone loses.
the dictator is first and foremost concerned with self preservation
as we all are–mostly.
the dictator just works to a different scale than the average joe
refer back again to hit..ler—in just 12 years he destroyed his own country in order to hang on to power at any cost, he was a criminal staving off due retribution—even with the russians banging at his bunker door, he was still issuing orders to non existent armies.
He cared nothing for Germany’s future, and said so.
Putin will have the same thought processes.
If he was concerned about the Russian nation, he would not allow it to be looted.
Trump had the same outlook—he just didn’t get into full dictator mode. He certainly tried. He would have had no problem in finding people to do his dirty work.
But nation-looting has been in full flight since the early 19th c ——–USA–Europe, Africa Asia—have all been stripped for profit with no thought of future.
as to ‘nuclear’—any nation using nuclear weapons will destroy itself.
on nuclear power, that wont be much good, because nuclear delivers electricity, whereas a modern commercial economy requires the production and exchange of ‘stuff’–(wages again)
all this will function at different time rates of course, some will fare better than others, but only for a short time.
Or the whole thing might collapse very quickly, and very messily.
we are talking past each other norm. maybe when we get to know each other better we can try again.
ok
keep in reading touch
Ask norm about this
Could be Putin is just playing the we do not want nukes 5 min fly time to Moscow game not vast global end of the world anything.
Putin is just taking his lead from the dictators playbook
a chancer
sematimism sharing a fractal with edumacation, from the hostess with the mostest. coming at you from the deep.
Does he get asked why – instead of fighting a ‘war’ in Ukraine — Russia doesn’t just throttle back the gas tap for a few days … impose some conditions that must be met before it gets turned back on full…
Funny that.
Meanwhile they blast a few old buildings with nobody in them … then continue blasting away at the roofs and walls (while the drone films). cuz.
Maybe the orders were fire all your rounds at the enemy before you come back to base. So they fired all their rounds.
Makes perfect sense.
Demographics may play a larger role; Russia has been dying for many years, this was published in the 1980’s I think, maybe Foreign Affairs or even HBR.
Europe is a basket case demographically, bunch of old men bickering about who will pay for their diapers.
Europe was invaded, whatever by Muslim countries not that long ago. Please don’t start looking at me strangely, but I see some positives to that culture compared to Western Culture. We have become hedonistic and it seems much of it is among the 1% who are supposed to be the leaders, at least put up a front of propriety.

“Great solutions to the predicament would be greatly appreciated.”
fortunately paradoxes don’t exist in reality, or it wouldn’t be reality.
Great Solution ?
I have it.
Do a big Manhattan Project, give people like Elon Musk life-or-death powers over the general population, limit all non essential economic activities and concentrate on future projects.
Even if that is done today, I am afraid the threshold of success might have passed.
For all Elon’s talents, he is incapable of contravening thermodynamics.
Tim Morgan is sounding more and more like me. In fact, quite a few people are seeing serious problems ahead.
He’s like norm – he regurgitates OFW… he’s just smarter than norm… so it’s not as obvious
In these circumstances, it’s not unreasonable to assume that public dissatisfaction is likely to worsen, fostering increasing suspicion that the system is somehow loaded against the “ordinary” person.
This suspicion might or might not be well-founded, but it should not induce us to believe that governments have answers which only malign intent prevents them from enacting.
And they will be very very angry … and they will skin alive the Elders
Tim appears to understand that BAU is dying – and why … but he seems to not be able to come to grips with what that implies… or maybe he does but he prefers to feed his readers hopium… in the form of some sort of BAU lite system…

A strength of this place is the open discourse with a simulacrum of diversity. Personally, I don’t so much learn from most here as get various ideas to see in scernarios.
I stole that idea from Shell oil who was using it many years ago, HBR. Did any of you know bacterial endocarditis secondary to dental procedures was debunked about that time in HBR? Mayo presentation confirmed that drift in a recent presentation, forty years later.

So, Boris had illegal mass booze ups in no. 10 during lockdown, while people’s loved ones died alone in hospital, and their family were not allowed to visit them, and he barefaced and repeatedly lied to parliament about it. Presumably he will have to go. The British public shows no inclination whatsoever to forget and forgive that. He is irrelevant to the situation in the Ukraine, so I do not see how he can hide behind Putin’s skirts.
> Boris gets away with Partygate for now… despite being FINED: PM and Carrie get penalty notice for birthday party along with Rishi Sunak – but Tories so far REFUSE to pull the trigger and force Johnson out because of the war in Ukraine
Partygate: The Prime Minister and Chancellor Rishi Sunak are among a tranche of 30 more fixed penalty notices dished out by Scotland Yard today. It means Mr Johnson is the first serving Prime Minister to have been found to have broken the law while in Downing Street. The news will place huge pressure on the PM, who has faced calls from opponents and within his own party to resign if sanctioned. He has resisted giving a definite answer. Questions will also be raised over his honesty towards MPs. Last year he told the Commons that ‘all guidance was followed completely in No 10’. (Daily Mail)
Once again the reaction is wrong.
Instead of “He broke the rules, punish him”, the correct reaction should be “Oh, it was all a fraud? Great, now we can relax!”
When the first railroad from St Petersburg to Moscow was built, local landowners ‘lent’ their serfs to do the labor.
Nikolai Nekrasov, the Tupac Shakur of the day, wrote a poem about it. tl,dr, the serfs are paid very little (payment already made to their owners), and at the end of the construction, their pay (which was to be paid at the end) was all deducted through the baths they had used after a hard day.
So these serfs have to walk back to their home, hungry and penniless.
Alexandr II, eager to impress the West, freed the serfs. So the trans-Siberian rallroads had to be built by prisoners who did not have to be paid. German PoWs did a lot of construction in Siberia after 1945.
That’s how infrastructure is built. If someone drops dead, no compensation, no restitution of whatever kind. Just buried there. If someone is injured, no need to evacuate – the person is just set aside to die, and if he complains too much, a few blows to the head quiets him forever.
Colonialism significantly reduces the cost of everything, including energy costs.
The pay gap between an exec and a laborer in 1930s Japan was about 1000 to 1. Even that was too expensive so it imported Korean laborers virtually for free. As a result Japan built an empire from nothing.
Basically Colonialism significantly lowers the cost of labor, and minimizes the overhead, facilitating civilization.
What you are describing here, Kulm, is the world operating without huge excess energy. True? Do you imagine we will return to this model?

Barbara Tuchman’s “Guns of August” might have been the most harmful book ever written. Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring is not too far behind but that did not end the world.
If Kennedy didn’t read Tuchman’s book, nukes would have flown, and USSR would have been history. USA would have been hurt, but at that time USSR lacked the power to destroy USA once for all.
That means the end of Third World empowerment, and continued cheaper extraction of resources with virtually nothing going to the resources.
The key is gaining 50 years for the Singularity, etc, to be enabled. If Civilization can maintain itself until 2075, on the expenses of the poor, the unwashed and the less gifted, we will get there.
However Kennedy reading Tuchman’s book might have cost the one chance humanity had for reaching the Next Level of Civilization.
According to Wikipedia,
I am sure that the book did not touch on the energy story underlying World War I. We have a similar energy story, actually a much worse energy story, that we are contending with now.
Hidden History by Docherty et al. is very good, a framework, perhaps useful in looking at today’s issues.

Again I have to rehash the point I had against Dr. Firth.
Dr. Firth praised the British soldiers who ‘did their duty’, such as Chucky Fitzclarence at Gheluvalt, who prolonged the Great War by 4 years.
I said they f’ked up and I stand with this view.
The deaths of the Great War, (significantly) partly because of those at Mons and Brigadier Chucky, could not be replaced by the addition of 5 billion Third Worlders.
What is left of Mariupol.

> UKR attempt to break out of #Mariupol. About 1500 soldiers involved acc to Rus sources. The attempt was blocked, part of the Ukrainian military was destroyed, part surrendered. /RUS MOD/
> Ukraine officials fear Mariupol will fall to Russia
A report by the Ukrainian military predicts that the Russian army is on the verge of taking the port city of Mariupol, with local forces running low on ammunition, giving Russia a land corridor between Crimea and the territories in the Donbas region where Russia is to focus Phase 2.
Imagine if Russia had given the Giant Middle Finger to Victoria Nuland or her Neocon hubby Robert Kagan. Russia, should have gone in and taken back the parts of Ukraine they are now fighting for. The problem boils down to is that Putin wanted to be friends with The West as he even applied to be part of NATO at one time and was at Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum in Davos.
Yes, presumably that nonsense is over. Russia has had enough of the West, and it is pivoting toward Eurasia, particularly with its “comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era” with China. Putin and Xi are pretty tight now, and they see the future in that context.
It seems likely that the global economy is somewhat fracturing into two distinct blocs between the Atlantic and Eurasia, with Russia firmly in the latter camp. It is quite possible that fracturing will intensify if China looks at Ukraine and decides that the time is right to take Taiwan.
Russia was pressurised to begin the special operation now, as Ukraine was massing forces to retake the Donbass. China may have more leeway to choose its time. It may not see AUKUS as a serious threat in the Pacific, but China may see a Russian victory in Ukraine as the ‘moment’ that it cannot pass up.
Arguably the West has played its hand really badly toward Russia, and it has missed whatever chance it had to integrate Russia. USA has treated Russia as a ‘foil’ in Europe, to give some supposed purpose to NATO, and to reinforce USA hegemony in Europe. Especially now. Europe stands to be the big loser in that, but they have made their choices, so they can have no complaints.
It remains to be seen what retaliatory measures Russia will take against ‘hostile countries’ for the sanctions that they have imposed, and the military support that they have given to Ukraine, once the war is over. Russia may be in no rush to cut supplies to Europe, but ‘payback’ may be coming over the decade.
“Yes, presumably that nonsense is over. Russia has had enough of the West,”
Maybe, maybe not. If Putin really had his fill of the West he should have ended the Ukraine war weeks ago. Instead it appeared he was trying to appease the West by showing a compassionate approach to the War. The main objective of war is to kill people and break things as quickly as possible. By allowing the Ukraine war to drag on, Putin allowed the West to control the agenda, calling Putin a war criminal, thug, dictator etc., who should be taken out by his own people (insert Sen Lady Graham).
He allowed the West to supply arms to the Ukraine Army, who are made up of neo-zatzi’s who hate anything that’s Russian.
The compassionate approach is to save money on rebuilding later, and also to minimize hatred whipped up by the 8 years media campaign. It is not to please the west.
Why is he injecting russians just like all other countries?
Why is he feeding Europe gas at full throttle?
Asking for norm (cuz norm cannot think to ask such good questions)
This is reminiscent of the lesson that Hitler failed to learn at Dunkirk when he let the British escape, thinking that the British would understand that Germany did not want war.
Disappointed.
And then when he urged the British not to wage a war from the air against civilian populations.
Again disappointed.
And then when the Normandy invasion came Hitler declined to use German’s stock of 30,000 tonnes of gas against the invading armies of the East and in the West because he knew of its horrors from WW1 and because Germany was signatory to protocols forbidding its use.
This was a mistake – a dreadful, sentimental naivety – when facing an enemy that couldn’t wait to use nukes against civilian in Japan and whose Eastern ally’s policy was “R4pe and r4ape and r4pe again!”.
The City of London and Wall Street only understand one thing: Force.

There is no point in going to Ukelele — finding combat is like finding needles in hay stacks… there are over 20M people in the country – with mobile phones… and if they cannot find anything to film… then how would I? I am not a magician

I understand that he was feeling a little under the weather so decided to go to his favourite dog meat restaurant for a bowl of chow chow and noodles… and then he fell dead from the wuhan flu .. on the street… yep … nothing suspicious here right? Just like there’s nothing suspicious about a dead man coming back to life.
hahahaha you can fool most of the people most of the time… it’s easy.

Does look like a war zone to me, Fast Eddy …
I see a tank firing shells into an empty wrecked building… now why would they do that?
Where are all the people from those buildings – where are the dead bodies — where are the combat videos — why did they shoot up residential buildings in the first place…
Of course there has to be some wreckage… for the photo opps… how about just choosing an old decrepit housing estate and smashing it up …
Better question – why are their videos of ‘dead bodies’ coming back to life???? If there is a war then surely there would be plenty of dead bodies to film?
toldya
eddys crisis actors
Budget for crisis actors was used up … or maybe they were too concerned that the crisis actors keep getting caught on video rising from the dead…. so the director just said — no need for the crisis actors… just fire some shells at an empty wrecked building… no need for fake dead bodies… we are only trying to convince MOREONS… they will believe whatever we tell them
always good to know these things eddy

I don’t see how any of this will be rebuilt. Much like Syrian refugees, many Ukrainians displaced by the war will likely never go back
again that is a single decrepit housing estate (was probably abandoned or scheduled for demolition)..
Does anyone know why the tanks are firing rounds into the buildings – there is clearly nobody inside any of them… just for fun?
And there are no bodies – zero bodies… no video of injured people being dragged from the buildings… and why would they be blowing up residential buildings – I thought the Russians were only selectively targeting so as not to kill civilians… so where are all the civilians running from the buildings with wounds?
Or just for the photo opp — for the drone that is hovering above the ‘battle’ … seems to be working … it is so easy to convince people… they even believe the Pfizer was made to help them — so they inject it hahahahaha
This is not a real war — it’s cover — to distract the MOREONS from the worsening Covid situation as the mutations grab hold …
BTW – isn’t it odd that they said Omicron was mild — it is anything but – hospitalizations and deaths are off the charts… but most countries are relaxing their restrictions… of course China has been nominated to ensure people remain somewhat fearful so they continue to boost (dummmb f789s)….
The MSM is full bore Ukelele — I’ve never seen the MSM so obsessed with presenting fake news… well maybe Covid… this is absolutely epic lie after lie after lie…
But it is working — Covid is in the backseat… as the MOREONS are distracted by a ball of yarn called Ukraine..
Then BAM – one day … Devil Covid will hit. Until then … give the MOREONS another lolly to suck on … and make sure they don’t get wind of too many vax injuries… cuz we need them to keep injecting…
Not that the injuries will have much influence on the Pro Vaxxers (professional vaxxers… these are the really hard core ones who see themselves as professional – they get paid in donuts rather than cash … but in their minds they are professionals… right norm?)
I pity those who are still blind and chasing the riches that they will get if they are smart and hardworking. At the same time, neglecting family and loved ones.
How does it feel to realize that the riches that one chases is nothing more than illusion
“If women didn’t exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning.”
Aristotle Onassis
CTG, does this help in understanding the predicament of the male?
Dennis L.
The drive for wealth seems to be related to men’s drive for sex.
Before the use of fossil fuels allowed heavy work to be done by machines and computers, women found their earning power to be much less than men. They needed a mate, whether found by their parents or attracted in some other way. Females had a strong need for a mate who could provide both for them and for their children. Thus, women strongly preferred men who would be expected to be good “providers.”
The studies I have seen indicate that, looking at the past, a far higher percentage of females are mothers than the percentage of males who are fathers. The Old Testament view of marriage seems to have been “one man and as many females as he could support.” Indirectly, this situation seems to be the way things worked out around the world. (Allowing only one man for each woman is a way of slowing population growth, because the poor cannot afford children.)
The men who became fathers in the past were the men who were most able to earn a good living for a family. This would seem to go along with how a dissipative structure would be expected to work. The genes of these men would disproportionately be passed on to offspring.
Fertility rates in Britain seem to be reverting toward that pattern. The article speaks of women, but people do tend to marry within their socio-economic peer group, so presumably the same is true of men.
Both partners are ‘bread winners’ these days, so the ‘selection’ of the successful for breeding is perhaps amplified.
This is after 200 years of industrialism however, during which I suspect that the opposite has been the case, and the lower classes have been more fecund (a good word).
> More than half of babies are now born to middle-class mothers, show figures
Jan. 2022
Marking a major milestone, more than half of all babies born in England and Wales last year were to middle-class mums.
The figures, drawn from Office for National Statistics (ONS) data, fly in the face of received wisdom that well-educated women are driving fertility rates down by choosing a career over parenthood.
In reality, the birth rate among women at the very top of the employment tree – in the best and highest-paid jobs – is twice the average of all occupations.
But the number of births to women with poorer employment prospects appears to be falling hard and fast.
The data reveals that from 2011 to 2019 the share of births to women in ‘higher managerial, administrative and professional’ occupations – who make up the top three of nine ONS employment tiers – grew from 45.2 to 49.3 per cent.
The proportion has been steadily rising by about half a percentage point a year, indicating a real trend and not merely statistical ‘noise’, and means women in middle-class occupations are likely to have last year accounted for more than half of all births in England and Wales for the first time….
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10456215/More-half-babies-born-middle-class-mothers-figures.html
Interesting perspective. The experience in sad new zealand is somewhat different. Many men who become fathers are on welfare. Their children are born into poverty and bookless homes. Many become addicted to meth before they even finish high school. It’s unlikely that they can read or write.
Look at Ardern’s kid – the mother is a junkie/former DJ.. and the father is a drug dealer… he’d be pim-ping her out if she wasn’t so meth-scrawny with the face of a donkey….
The child will be saved from a very grim future … by the CEP.
Chasing wealth in order to get pussy is one of what biologists call a secondary or opportunistic mating strategies.
I wildflock my little bighorn Soay sheep. No castration, all animals in together all the time. Leading up to the rut the alpha male establishes his dominance. He gets to have 24hr consorts with ewes as they come into heat, inseminating her many times and thereby likely assuring his paternity. Since, as with humans, sheep synchronize their ovulations in the name of maintaining genetic diversity, there are plentiful opportunities for the other males to pursue secondary mating strategies, which are also meritocratic. The human male chasing of excess money for pussy is a lot less meritocratic because the hierarchical structure within which he chases is anything but meritocratic.
sometimes theres a sligthly different slant on it
the human female also chases ‘money’ because it gives her offspring a better survival advantage
hence bimbos with ugly footballers or billionaires
Thanks for completing the circle. Indeed, females require reliable material protection and security under natural law. Females chasing males who chase money in order to chase females makes money make the world go round. It’s not a long-term reproductive strategy, it’s a short-to-medium term one, because it’s triggers the aforementioned devolution away from meritocracy. Nobody gives a damn about the seventh generation that comes out not knowing whether they’re boys or girls and what to do about it.
What I meant – it is such a pity that there are people who could not understand/believe or just think that there is no future in terms of what we are facing.
They are working hard to get a lot of money for future comfort (for himself or the family). So hard that he neglect the family in the pursuit of riches.
When all this comes crashing down (or due to vaccine injury), how does he feel about it?
I doubt he even realize that the end is already here.
** Like a broken record, I have already said that after a lot of deep thoughts, unlike 2007 or 2016, I see there are no solutions moving forward. It is just “a matter of time”
Why because you believe that this is not going to play out much longer?
I stopped that around 2009… and I made it clear to some people that I was bucket listing …
One friend has intimated that I made a good decision and he plans to do the same now that he’s had this CovCON wake up call… sad to say … he’s left it a bit late… there will be no second chance…
Vaccine is linked to long-term child heart problems, but still the jabbing goes on
“AN American follow-up study of children suffering the heart muscle inflammation myocarditis after having their second dose of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine was published in the Journal of Pediatrics on March 25 this year.
The research at the Seattle Children’s Hospital looked at 16 males, with an average age of 15, three to eight months after their initial diagnosis with myocarditis a short time after vaccination.
The authors used electrocardiograms (ECG) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) scans to examine abnormalities in the heart such as myocardial scarring, fibrosis, strain, and reduced ventricular muscle extension, which can be associated with reduced capacity to pump blood and increased risk of heart attack.
They found that although there was some measure of resolution after three to eight months, most subjects still had some persistent abnormalities.
‘Although (initial) symptoms (such as chest pain, and exercise intolerance) were transient and most patients appeared to respond to treatment (solely with NSAIDS – non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs – such as ibuprofen), we demonstrated persistence of abnormal findings on CMR at (three to eight months) follow-up in most patients, albeit with improvement in extent of LGE.’
LGE is late gadolinium enhancement, a measure of the heart’s capacity to pump efficiently.
The authors warned: ‘The presence of LGE is an indicator of cardiac injury and fibrosis and has been strongly associated with worse prognosis in patients with classical acute myocarditis.
‘A meta-analysis including eight studies found that presence of LGE is a predictor of all-cause death, cardiovascular death, cardiac transplant, rehospitalisation, recurrent acute myocarditis and requirement for mechanical circulatory support.’
For those who wish to review a detailed evaluation of this study by a medical (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smKDRiiVIpY)expert, you can watch this video.
Here in New Zealand, the latest Medsafe Adverse Effects Report #41 lists 12,000 people who have experienced chest discomfort and 6,000 shortness of breath (all ages) following mRNA vaccination – both classic symptoms of myocarditis.
The authors of the Seattle study concluded: ‘In the cohort of adolescents with Covid-19 mRNA vaccine-related myopericarditis (a complication of acute pericarditis), a large portion have persistent LGE abnormalities, raising concerns for potential longer-term effects.’”
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/vaccine-is-linked-to-long-term-child-heart-problems-but-still-the-jabbing-goes-on/
The WSJ has a big article titled
Covid-19 Vaccines Carry Low Risk of Heart Conditions, Studies Find
Cardiac risks including myocarditis were higher following Covid-19 infection and non-Covid vaccination than after Covid vaccination
So, if it is possible to find something worse to compare the problem to, then, by comparison, the vaccine is better. It depends on how the story is spun.
This article was brought to you by Pfizer, a WSJ Tier One sponsor.
‘Mercenary troops from various Countries are surrendering in Mariupol to Russians forces’
WWIII is already there.
We just have to hope that will not escalate.

Anyone got more videos of Peru and SL… much more action coming out of those not at war countries
I look forward to the trials, of those whom the Russians spare.
Mercenaries deserve an immediate bullet in the head as far as I’m concerned – but of course they are probably regular armed forces from NATO members.
Boris should have put on some body amour and gone to their rescue, along with the Defence minister who said he would ‘kick Putin’s backside’….. where is that brave man now?
The NATO officers/ officials do not seem to have got out of Azovstal, so we may see them paraded on TV with the Azov forces when Russia enacts war crimes trials, which presumably are coming. It will be a major propaganda coup for Russia.
It seems that several copters have been sacrificed in attempts to extract them, and boats too. Azov forces are said to have hijacked a Bulgarian boat, but presumably they will not be slipping any NATO officers/ officials out that way. The port is now under Russian control.
Mirror posted a link to this video yesterday, featuring Scott Ritter.
https://youtu.be/w5RKNoIhE40
In this video, Ritter says that Russia is expected to win an upcoming battle in Donbass.
I don’t like the character assassination route, and I think Ritter is credible on this matter, but he is also a convicted sex offender. Some speculate he was set up by the government. In a crazy world, what can we ignore?

“Hello,
I’m JAsIrX and I will share with you some documents downloaded after hacking Britam Defence server. Its website is located on the Malaysian server. I found bugs in the website with same ip and uploaded web-shell through this site. Then I hacked plesk parallels control panel and gained access to Britam Defence mail accounts and website directory.
Leaked documents: – Contracts copies with signatures – Private email correspondence – Personnel data, etc.
Britam Defence is British private military company, operates mainly in the Middle East. It killed Arabs in Iraq and plans to invade in Iran and Syria. Look through leaked documents carefully. CW means chemical weapon, g-shell is short for a gas shell I guess.
Help to distribute this info and let other people know about the threats. Thank all
Critical Emails
The most incriminating document was an emails, “Syrian Issue.eml”, Email purporting to have been from David Goulding, the Business Development Director to company founder, Philip Doughty:
“We’ve got a new offer. It’s about Syria again. Qataris propose an attractive deal and swear that the idea is approved by Washington. We’ll have to deliver a CW to Homs, a Soviet origin g-shell from Libya similar to those that Assad should have. They want us to deploy our Ukrainian personnel that should speak Russian and make a video record. Frankly, I don’t think it’s a good idea but the sums proposed are enormous. Your opinion?

‘chemical weapons attack’ hahahahahahahaha
https://news.sky.com/story/war-in-ukraine-uk-working-urgently-to-verify-reports-of-possible-chemical-attack-in-mariupol-12588373
In February there were 404,030 cases among the unvaccinated, but in March this fell to 258,357 cases. Whereas the triple vaccinated suffered 752,126 cases in February, but in March this increased to 1.01 million.
If you thought the vaccine prevented both infection and transmission then you really have had your head buried in the sand and fallen for the lies hook line and sinker, but surely if the vaccine is effective it should at least reduce the risk of infection? The data above suggests it increases the risk of infection, and further data from UKHSA confirms it.
The following chart is taken from page 45 of the Week 13 Vaccine Surveillance Report and it shows the case-rate per 100,000 among the unvaccinated and triple vaccinated. The only age group where the case-rate per 100,000 is lower among the unvaccinated is the under 18’s, and about 95% of them are not even eligible for a third dose.

Fake news norm?
In all, between 28th Feb and 27th March, there were a total of 1,486,973 Covid-19 cases recorded across England, and the triple vaccinated population accounted for an astounding 1,011,153 of them, whilst the not-vaccinated population accounted for just 258,357 cases.
Overall the vaccinated population accounted for 1,011,153 cases, meaning they accounted for 83% of all Covid-19 cases between 28th Feb and 27th March 22. But something strange is happening here, because in the space of 1 month, cases among the unvaccinated have fallen by 36%, whereas cases among the triple vaccinated have increased by 34%.
https://dailyexpose.uk/2022/04/12/distracted-boris-kyiv-fully-vaccinated-92-percent-covid-deaths/
Official data published by the UK Health Security Agency confirms the fully vaccinated population accounted for a shocking 92% of all Covid-19 deaths across England throughout March,but what’s even more shocking is that 82% of those deaths were among the triple vaccinated population.
But something even stranger than this is also occurring. Covid-19 is currently on the rise again across the UK, but the data confirms cases, hospitalisations and deaths are only rising among the triple vaccinated population, whereas they are declining significantly among the unvaccinated population.

At this point of time, with all the “awareness”, “knowledge” and “discussion” that we have here on OFW, if one still cannot look at death head on and know that it is a predicament (without any solutions), then one can leave for hopium-filled websites.
It must be like 10 times I have said that some people can see it coming decades ahead, years ahead or months ahead. Some people don’t even know that they have been hit. That is why you have people saying “He cried wolf and has been wrong for decades”. This is also another group of people I don’t wish to interact. i would rather watch paint dry than debating this group of people

Disturbing! The rich would like to control the rest of the population.
They already do
True, but even more so.
the rich would like to go on making more money
but to increase ‘capital’ it is necessary to destroy the planet we live on
but the rest of us also require planet-space.
this doesn’t equate with the overriding desire to increase personal wealth.
thus the consumption of the unwashed masses must be controlled, otherwise the gains in capital of the already-wealthy will be impeded.
unfortunately no one has pointed out that wealth-increases can only be derived from the input of the rest of us.—ie ongoing uncontrolled people engaged in planet-destruction.
but such destruction will destroy the wealth base of the wealthy as well as everybody else.
is this why i am not an ‘elder’?
That sums it up very nicely…Like how the. Wealthy get us peasants hooked in the matrix.

The disastrous decision to rush into organic farming
Economists say a government decision last year to ban chemical fertiliser and make Sri Lanka the first country to farm organic-only was disastrous.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-04-12/inside-sri-lankas-worst-economic-crisis-in-history/100975192
This stretches believability. The grass farmers for grazing indicate that their land needs years to get over the fertilizer addiction, and that is including the feces the grazing animals deposit. But cold turkey, without a feces plan? Vermiculture? Radical composting?
Animal sacrifices? Biochar?
The “we were told” part is too unbelievable. Pilot study? Regional roll out? Sounds more like blaming increased hydrocarbon costs on “going organic” but still getting that “Great Leap Forward” attrition by increasing rice production targets.
It’s work to do regenerative farming, and I am starting out, and it takes time just understand the complexity that taking none of the short cuts implies. With a gallows humour, I consider the Creator’s curse on Adam, and I laugh to myself that I am living the curse. But cold turkey for a nation without institutional supports, that juices all of FE, Extinction Precede Him, talking points.
We get a chance to see how poorly a sudden transition to “no fertilizer” would work out.
Today’s “organic” in rich countries uses plastic sheets, irrigation, and lots of supplements. Also tractor for working the soil and planting. These would not be available without fossil fuels.

Wow – these are official government numbers….
norm —- do you dispute the numbers?
norm?????

NORM!!!
The father-in-law of a friend was forced out of his home by social services during the ‘Pandemic’, only to fall sick there with a respiratory infection which they called of course Covid, and which they failed to treat effectively, and so he died, probably Midazolamed…..
Dark things took place in those care homes. .
Class war. The war on children – is part and parcel of the war on humanity.
Children/youth of ruling classes and wealthy ride horses, play outside, study music, arts, etc.
Children/youth of middle and working classes, as well as those impoverished, become increasingly addicted – and bonded – to tech.

What is going on in Alberta and British Columbia?
From Stats🇨🇦 data, excess deaths in ages 0-44 as of Dec. ’21 are MORE THAN 70% of expected deaths, since accelerating in Jul ’21.
This is the real “tsunami of death”, and a public health emergency that must be investigated ASAP.
https://twitter.com/rubiconcapital_/status/1513654807168524291?s=12&t=VuEa0MY6u5XOfsQlMB8RGg
Apparently Alberta and British Columbia have been seeing a huge spike in deaths in ages 0 – 44 year olds, since July 2021. This reminds a person of the big spike in deaths that US insurers reported, in a similar period. The latter would include somewhat older individuals.
hahahahaha…. matrix!

OPEN LETTER to All Members of the FDA Vaccines Committee
MHRA
UKHSA
JCVI
Sajid Javid
No. 10 Downing Street.
I am writing following the announcement of the policy ‘offer’ to vaccinate children aged 5-11 with the covid vaccines.
There is no justifiable case for this. For this cohort, it represents only risk with no possible benefit. Children of this age do not need to be vaccinated against covid as the disease carries an overall statistically zero risk to them.
There is no long-term safety data attached to these injections. To use them on young children, with so many life years ahead, is medical and policy recklessness. In allowing this to proceed, you are all failing in your duties as regulators and those in charge of public health.
There are already very worrying signals in the short and medium term data (e.g. incidence of myocarditis, particularly in young boys).
We urge you to cease this roll-out with immediate effect. Please refer to this series of Open Letters for further details of the concerns raised by many highly qualified healthcare professionals:

FE, I thought that you think that you deserve to be exterminated?
So why do you not just get on with it and end yourself?
ADB!
I am happy to be exterminated but I am in no rush … killing a single person is of no use anyway… we are adding hundreds of thousands of newbies every day… offing me is pointless…
It needs to be 8B… everyone needs to be exterminated…
I want to enjoy watching the MOREONS squirm as the vice tightens and they unhinge.
Watching is my thing.. I love chaos. I love danger. I love violence. Specially when it involves MOREONS hahahahaha
I am a MOREON Voyeur hahaha
you love BS
and produce more with every word you utter and every step you take
but i can certainly believe that watching is your thing.
> I love danger.
Oh yeah? Then go to Ukraina, enlist and show us.
i second that.
i know someone who has gone and done just that—cut his teeth driving an ambulance in syria in that war.
a very brave and determined young man—someone worthy of eddys mockery no doubt
still—not much danger from eddys crisis actors is there?
How does one join the Russian military hahahahaha… to fight the Nazi menace?
toss out mockbait
eddy snaps it up
M Fast won’t allow that … just like she vetoed my Afghanistan trip (that was on but then they attacked the Serena Hotel in Kabul and killed some folks… https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-26675253… she withdrew all support — even though I urged her to think of the life insurance pay out).
If I could rewind to 25 when I’d definitely have gone with war photographer… some would choose rock star… pro athlete… business tycoon… but me … I’d ask to be war photographer…
Cuz. I like to watch. And I enjoy the rush of adrenaline. Nothing makes you feel more alive than when you are watching Chaos. And Mayhem. Up close.
For those who says this to you “Since you are against population increase, why don’t you kill yourself?”,…
I am way past the point of interacting with these people. These are the same people who
1. Thinks green energy works
2. Klimat change is caused by humans and it is an issue
3. Electric vehicle is the way to go
4. Mask up to save others
5. Take the 20th shot
6. Stand by UKR
Perhaps they are NPCs
The MOREONS are fun to toy with .. cuz they are MOREONS… they flail away like a 90 yr old woman trying to fend of a Mike Tyson rape
The problem CTG is that generally speaking we tend to take a part of the truth and make it the whole truth…hence your list…
I’ll not debate you or heaven forbid Fast Crazy, I mean Fast Edwin.
That’s the human condition and the dilemma we find ourselves circulating.
At this stage, as Gail has repeatedly pointed out, we are close to the outcomes regardless of our thoughts or actions.
Best to savor the precious times we still have with friends and family.
I’ll do do after I put my green energy to work …. .
Herbie, I raise a glass of Whiskey and drink to that.
I am savouring everyh moment in my life. I don’t regret or curse. I don’t bother but look forward to the greatest show ever.
As Freya Stark put it, we are booked in seats on a train the destination of which we cannot choose or alter, so it’s perhaps best enjoy the view through the window…..until the crash.
Ok who’s left to alienate … Tim … Xabier… Gail… CTG… keep going!!! hahahahahahaha
Hahaha.. are you drinking heavily?
Mirror — you are exhibiting great angst on OFW … as we approach Extermination .. the kitchen is getting much hotter… it’s a veritable pressure cooker in OFW now…
We’ve got Gerard over there unhinging and blaming FE for being the messenger of doom… and in the other corner you are throwing hay makers at everyone ….
This is exactly how I expected things to go … people are starting to go insane hahahaha…
Meanwhile the schools are advising 12 yr old girls to buy cucumbers and ask daddy about his boners… and a man with a dongle is competing against women swimmers and destroying them…
Maybe we can let Hoolio run in the 100m against humans? Whippets can run over 50km per hour… Hoolio will win by at least 40 metres hahahahahahaha… Hoolio World Champion!!!

I have noticed that the major news outlets in the U.S are now talking about recession. That means that it has already started as they are always behind the curve on things like this…..it must mean that we are headed for a big crash! Timbeeer!! How will the FED and government react?? I am thinking that massive spending will create a huge inflation scenario.
of course we are in a recession.
a year ago, official inflation was maybe 2%?
Shadowstats (using more accurate 1980 method) usually has inflation about double the “official” number.
so when 2% was really 4% that was not such a big deal.
now, “official” Feb inflation was about 8% (annualized) and John Williams at Shadowstats calculated it at 16%.
16% inflation surely means the USA is in a recession.
some might ask about TOMORROW?
before tomorrow when the March “official” number is released, it’s already being front run by gov spokesperson that it will be highly elevated.
take that number and just DOUBLE it!
boof!
Thanks David! Very insightful and to the point. What comes next and how much time do we have?
the Core countries endure this innsane (not quite hyper) inflation, most likely “cured” by recession, though every year some get thrown out of the club into the Periphery… goodbye EU?
the Core economies continually self-reorganize, throwing off discretionary sectors, as higher % of money is spent on essentials.
massive high unemployment since discretionary sectors now have more than half of all jobs.
overall, this could be a fairly slow process in some of the Core, since failing bankrupt countries then free up resources for the Core.
insert “life is not fair” right here.
OBVIOUSLY 😉 “we” should be in good shape at least until 2030.
or WW3, so who knows.
What is “good shape “? Every year now seems like 10. The breakdown seems faster than that. Are you discounting interconnectedness? You have been right so far about BAU….or have you??
Will there be commercial air travel in the future?
travel requires 2 things:
purpose and means
decide whether those things will exist in our future—
if they do the answer is yes
if they don’t the answer is no
i had my booster appt letter yesterday eddy
do i risk another flat tyre and go for it?
Is that the 4th or the 5th shot? I keep losing track…
Of course we do know that so far the injections are inviting covid infections hospitalizations and deaths.. but ignore this… do as you are told … at some point if you get enough of the juice in your body… it will start to kick in and protect you ….
It might be the 5th shot… or the 8th … or the 10th… nobody knows – cuz the shots are fully tested.
https://i0.wp.com/dailyexpose.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/image-100.png
4th eddy
but tyres are expensive
i await your advice
Never question the boosters norm .. do what you are told .. even though they are resulting in more infections hospitalizations and deaths (the more you inject) … just continue to ignore the UK govt data … and boost https://www.headsupster.com/forumthread?shortId=1603
If you see dead bodies in the clinic parking lot… ignore that too – that has nothing to do with the boosters…. do what you are told do what you are told do what you are told… the boosters are safe and effective ..safe and effective… do what you are told… be a good citizen…
That is my advice…
when i had my 3rd booster
i was told that the bodies in the car park were overflow storage from the funeral parlour next door
do you think i was being lied to?
How does one differentiate between a MOREON and and a Hyper MOREON….
Easy. You meet someone and you discuss covid … you pretend you’ve had all the boosters and ask them if they have done same…
If they say — I took the first two shots but I am not getting any boosters — that’s a MOREON.
If they say — I am a pro vaxxer and I have had all 4 shots and have pre-booked two more (waiting for the government to tell me what to do)… then you have a Hyper MOREON in front of you.
There is an Super Hyper MOREON category as well… these are special people … you show them this and ask — are you going to get more boosters? And they look at it and say – yes of course I will do what they tell me to do … cuz I don’t want to die from covid… and it would be so much worse if I don’t get all the shots.

Dr Bryan Ardis interviewed by Mike Adams this evening….laying out his case for the origin of c19….
…..snake venom…..the jabs program the body to produce……
https://www.brighteon.com/2b090826-787f-4d03-9f78-a1a80d3fe767
Also interviewed by Stew Peters….covers similar ground but adds additional info:
https://www.brighteon.com/f803eef3-0bd2-4a7d-ae02-183877916a5d
This is incendiary material…..I expect that it will be all over alt-media over the course of the next 24hrs….
Stew Peters interviews Dr. Bryan Ardis, DC. on the whole COVID-19/vaccine episode. Dr. Ardis is supposedly the number 1 doctor Pfizer wants eliminated. (DC is Doctor of Chiropractic; chiropractors are generally not licensed to practice in hospitals. US physicians look down on chiropractors.) Dr. Ardis frame the issue as a war of good versus evil, if I understood Stew Peters’ introduction correctly. There are allegations that Remdesivir (Fauci’s drug) has been used to kill patients. Part where interview with Dr. Ardis begins is about 7:40. I have not listened to the rest of the video.
According to Ardis, covid 19 is a bioweapon derived from snake venom….it’s been added to water supplies around the world…the PCR test is not testing for a virus, but rather the proteins in snake venom….the CDC wastewater testing centres (400 in US)
are the culprits adding the bioweapon to the drinking water….the mRNA in the jabs is from King Cobra venom and is inducing cells in the human body to produce cobra venom….he covers a lot more and in great detail….but this is the gist of what he is saying.
the wilder and wackier the better
Also from the videos:
monoclonal antibodies = anti-venom ….but is also an effective treatment for C19
D dimer test…which has been used to test for micro-clotting….is also a test for snake venom poisoning

Beauchine said:
“When I rounded the corner, I saw my mom and it was like she was like yelling or howling. Her eyes were completely fixed in the open position. Her mouth was stuck in the open position and she had violent tremors that wouldn’t stop. She didn’t understand what was going on. The only way I can put it is a bomb went off inside of her head.
“It was excruciating for all of us. My dad was like a deer in the headlights — a blank look I had never seen before. And I’ve seen a lot of stuff in my life with my job but this was like … a bomb went off in my mom’s head and all of her limbs were convulsing and tremoring.
“It’s like something you see out of a movie. They say with this disease you come to the cliff and it’s just a drop-off and once you drop off you’re able to physically see that dropping point — and you could see it that night.”
Haha, just when you thought the Media was looking out for “Just Looking Out For The Folks aka Bill O’Reilly” it looks like the Biden Admin paid the News Outlets to push positive Mike/Dunce stories about the vaccines.
https://emeralddb3.substack.com/p/fox-news-and-newsmax-took-biden-money?s=r
The title of Rodster’s link is:
Fox News & Newsmax Took Biden Money To Push Deadly COVID Vaccines To Its Viewers
Corporate news outlets did not disclose the money they took to push dangerous drugs to their conservative audience
No wonder people are confused, even conservative people. They think that the reason for everyone pushing the vaccines is because there is very clear scientific evidence in favor of the vaccines. This is not true.
We also have the CDC partly funded by pharmaceutical interests and Tony Fauci from the pharmaceutical industry. Bill Gates is an investor in the pharmaceutical industry.
News media carry corporate advertising to survive: that says everything about their supposed integrity for those who have a brain.
“She lost the ability to feed herself because she couldn’t get the food on her fork to put it in her mouth,” Beauchine said. “It crushed me because I could see in her eyes without us having any convo, the fear and like she was defeated.”
Beauchine said there were no more good days and his mother lost the ability to communicate.
“By mid-end of July my mom was just a complete rigid person,” he said. “Lips stopped moving. She could only get a couple of syllables out. She would almost be falling out of a wheelchair in a forward position. She couldn’t tell if she was sitting up.”
Beauchine said his mother knew from the very beginning her condition was related to the shot.
“We all knew from the very beginning it was related to the shot, but we didn’t know the future significance of how bad this would get,” Beauchine said. “People have bad reactions all the time but you get over them. She didn’t get over them.”
Beauchine said the doctors didn’t know what to do because “it was just so new.”
“Beauchine said the doctors didn’t know what to do because “it was just so new.”
Oh the doctors knew alright to bite their tongues knowing that if they admitted it was probably due to the shot, they’d lose their license to practice.
Remember the scene from Aliens – where Sigourney births that vile thing? This is right up there…
I guess this is what happens when the Pfizer bursts through the blood brain barrier hahahahaha…
Grrrrrooosssss!!!!
What do mike and norm ‘think’… any comment fellas? anna? dunc hahahaha remember dunc? We don’t miss you dunc…
“It was almost like her arm would start jerking involuntarily,” Beauchine said. “Then the tremors moved on to the left leg.”
Beauchine added:
“My mother began to complain that something was wrong with her brain. She said she couldn’t put thoughts together or make sense of things but she could still communicate. Over the phone, you wouldn’t see the altered version of my mom I knew for 44 years.”
Then Carol developed double vision that ultimately led to blindness, and she began to hallucinate.
“She would see herself falling out of the chair and she would physically see herself on the ground,” Beauchine said. “It was weird to understand. She developed a fear of water and would become scared she was near a body of water.”
Doctors believed Carol was suffering from anxiety because of the shot and started treating her for anxiety. Meanwhile, Carol lost the ability to walk.
Beauchine said:
Enough of Harry’s bad news — we need some cheering up hahaha
Beauchine said:
“On March 17, she got her second dose and immediately started having reactions to the second dose. She just had this malaise. She just didn’t feel right and said she just felt ‘off.’ She had what she described as pain and burning at the injection site — like someone was tying a hot rope around her arm. Then she explained it as this numbness setting in around the injection site.”
Beauchine said he and his family members didn’t think it was a usual side effect, but they also didn’t think it was unusual.
“We just thought it was a result of the jab working through the system,” Beauchine said. “Then the numbness spread up through her neck and down her left arm.”
The numbness altered Carol’s hearing and spread “down through her hands” until the left hand lost sensation and mobility.
Beauchine said:
“At this point, it was her entire left arm. She started to develop insomnia. She would go a couple of days at a time without sleep and then she was fatigued. This numbness continued to spread. It went down to her hip and moved to her knees, then the entire left side. You could almost bisect her body and the left side was numb and the right side was normal.”

Except that’s exactly what patriotism is: blind faith in bad leaders. 🙂
Or one might say that the real Patriots would try to get rid of bad leaders…..
… at which point they’d get to meet the new boss, same as the old boss, and in doing so reconfirming the intrinsic fakeness of their patriotism after all.
rinse and repeat.
X, perhaps the art of politics is making something better without demanding perfection of people.
Perhaps a good leader chooses the battles carefully and accepts “Perfection is the enemy of good enough.”

That’s what the coming national socialisms are for, protecting the elders.
yup—gotta look after the elders
i’m elderly—how do i get to be an elder
you don’t get to be an elder. sorry old bean. the vaxxx was your consolation prize.
ive just had a letter inviting me for booster
so i might reach elder status
now all i need is a lottery win to qualify me for promotion to the elite
Why would anyone protect the Elders post BAU — there will be no energy no food no nothing … even if the Elders stockpiled who keeps the guards from shooting them and taking the food?
The system that allows them to run the Empire will be no more
Because they’ve been installed by the elders. The universe isn’t going to vaporize next year. I give national socialism say, seven years lol, then all bets are off. NS is for decommissioning the nuclear power industry, remember? And for the disappearing act of the dastardly elders that pumped and dumped planet earth.
LNG is up 4x due to supply constraints (aka peak gas)… I am paying over 3 bucks a litre for petrol (peak oil)… food prices are exploding along with everything else (and were pre Ukekele)….
7 more years? I guess if they can work out how to replenish the energy sources… sure…
Can you explain to me how you decommission a spent fuel pond while you are at it?
i wish i was an elder
Hey Doomies … check this out — this is what you will be facing when there is no food — and they know that someone has a garden … and a stockpile… the MOREONS know that there will be food in the countryside — they will find you … you know how rats find food … like that…

That two definitely want to abstain from parenthood.
Who needs eugenics programmes when they can have an ‘eco birth strike’?
Something feels fake about all of this … I don’t doubt these two are MOREONS who believe they need to stop the oil… but someone is orchestrating this.
The Elders would not allow MOREONS to do this.
