The years between 1981 and 2020 were very special years for the world economy because interest rates were generally falling:
In some sense, falling interest rates meant that debt was becoming increasingly affordable. The monthly out-of-pocket expense for a new $500,000 mortgage was falling lower and lower. Automobile payments for a new $30,000 vehicle could more easily be accommodated into a person’s budget. A business would find it more affordable to add $5,000,000 in new debt to open at an additional location. With these beneficial effects, it would be no surprise if a debt bubble were to form.
With an ever-lower cost of debt, the economy has had a hidden tailwind pushing it long between 1981 to 2020. Now that interest rates are again rising, the danger is that a substantial portion of this debt bubble may collapse. My concern is that the economy may be heading for an incredibly hard landing because of the inter-relationship between interest rates and energy prices (Figure 2), and the important role energy plays in powering the economy.
In this post, I will try to explain my concerns.
[1] Ever since civilization began, a combination of (a) energy consumption and (b) debt has been required to power the economy.
Under the laws of physics, energy is required to power the economy. This happens because it takes the “dissipation” of energy to perform any activity that contributes to GDP. The energy dissipated can be the food energy that a person eats, or it can be wood or coal or another material burned to provide energy. Sometimes the energy dissipated is in the form of electricity. Looking back, we can see the close relationship between total energy consumption and world total GDP.
The need for debt or some other approach that acts as a funding mechanism for capital expenditures (sale of shares of stock, for example), comes from the fact that humans make investments that will not produce a return for many years. For example, ever since civilization began, people have been planting crops. In some cases, there is a delay of a few months before a crop is produced; in other cases, such as with fruit or nut trees, there can be a delay of years before the investment pays back. Even the purchase by an individual of a home or a vehicle is, in a sense, an investment that will offer a return over a period of years.
With all parts of the economy benefiting from the lower interest rates (except, perhaps, banks and others lending the funds, who are making less profit from the lower interest rates), it is easy to see why lower interest rates would tend to stimulate new investment and drive up demand for commodities.
Commodities are used in great quantity, but the supply available at any one time is tiny by comparison. A sudden increase in demand will tend to send the commodity price higher because the quantity of the commodity available will need to be rationed among more would-be purchasers. A sudden decrease in the demand for a commodity (for example, crude oil, or wheat) will tend to send prices lower. Therefore, we see the strange sharp corners in Figure 2 that seem to be related to changing debt levels and higher or lower interest rates.
[2] The current plan of central banks is to raise interest rates aggressively. My concern is that this approach will leave commodity prices too low for producers. They will be tempted to decrease or stop production.
Politicians are concerned about the price of food and fuel being too high for consumers. Lenders are concerned about interest rates being too low to properly compensate for the loss of value of their investments due to inflation. The plan, which is already being implemented in the United States, is to raise interest rates and to significantly reverse Quantitative Easing (QE). Some people call the latter Quantitative Tightening (QT).
The concern that I have is that aggressively raising interest rates and reversing QE will lead to commodity prices that are too low for producers. There are likely to be many other impacts as well, such as the following:
- Lower energy supply, due to cutbacks in production and lack of new investment
- Lower food supply, due to inadequate fertilizer and broken supply lines
- Much defaulting of debt
- Pension plans that reduce or stop payments because of debt-related problems
- Falling prices of stock
- Defaults on derivatives
[3] My analysis shows how important increased energy consumption has been to economic growth over the last 200 years. Energy consumption per capita has been growing during this entire period, except during times of serious economic distress.
Figure 4 shows the amazing growth in world energy consumption between 1820 and 2010. In the early part of the period, the energy used was mostly wood burned as fuel. In some parts of the world, animal dung was also used as fuel. Gradually, other fuels were added to the mix.
Figure 5 takes the same information shown in Figure 4 and calculates the average approximate annual increase in world energy consumption over 10-year periods. A person can see from this chart that the periods from 1951-1960 and from 1961-1970 were outliers on the high side. This was the time of rebuilding after World War II. Many families were able to own a car for the first time. The US highway interstate system was begun. Many pipelines and electricity transmission lines were built. This building continued into the 1971-1980 period.
Figure 6 displays the same information as Figure 5, except that each column is divided into two pieces. The lower (blue) portion represents the average annual growth in population during each period. The part left over at the top (in red) represents the growth in energy consumption that was available for increases in standard of living.
Figure 7 shows the same information as Figure 6, displayed as an area chart. I have also shown some of the distressing events that happened when growth in population was, in effect, taking up essentially all of energy consumption growth. The world economy could not grow normally. There was a tendency toward conflict. Unusual events would happen during these periods, including the collapse of the central government of the Soviet Union and the restrictions associated with the COVID pandemic.
The economy is a self-organizing system that behaves strangely when there is not enough inexpensive energy of the right types available to the system. Wars tend to start. Layers of government may disappear. Strange lockdowns may occur, such as the current restrictions in China.
[4] The energy situation at the time of rising interest rates in the 1960 to 1980 period was very different from today.
If we define years with high inflation rates as those with inflation rates of 5% or higher, Figure 8 shows that the period with high US inflation rates included nearly all the years from 1969 through 1982. Using a 5% inflation cutoff, the year 2021 would not qualify as a high inflation rate year.
It is only when we look at annualized quarterly data that inflation rates start spiking to high levels. Inflation rates have been above 5% in each of the four quarters ended 2022-Q1. Trade problems related to the Ukraine Conflict have tended to add to price pressures recently.
Underlying these price spikes are increases in the prices of many commodities. Some of this represents a bounce back from artificially low prices that began in late 2014, probably related to the discontinuation of US QE3 (See Figure 2). These prices were far too low for producers. Coal and natural gas prices have also needed to rise, as a result of depletion and prior low prices. Food prices are also rising rapidly, since food is grown and transported using considerable quantities of fossil fuels.
The main differences between that period leading up to 1980 and now are the following:
[a] The big problem in the 1970s was spiking crude oil prices. Now, our problems seem to be spiking crude oil, natural gas and coal prices. In fact, nuclear power may also be a problem because a significant portion of uranium processing is performed in Russia. Thus, we now seem to be verging on losing nearly all our energy supplies to conflict or high prices!
[b] In the 1970s, there were many solutions to the crude oil problem, which were easily implemented. Electricity production could be switched from crude oil to coal or nuclear, with little problem, apart from building the new infrastructure. US cars were very large and fuel inefficient in the early 1970s. These could be replaced with smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles that were already being manufactured in Europe and Japan. Home heating could be transferred to natural gas or propane, to save crude oil for places where energy density was really needed.
Today, we are told that a transition to green energy is a solution. Unfortunately, this is mostly wishful thinking. At best, a transition to green energy will need a huge investment of fossil fuels (which are increasingly unavailable) over a period of at least 30 to 50 years if it is to be successful. See my article, Limits to Green Energy Are Becoming Much Clearer. Vaclav Smil, in his book Energy Transitions: History, Requirements and Prospects, discusses the need for very long transitions because energy supply needs to match the devices using it. Furthermore, new energy types are generally only add-ons to other supply, not replacements for those supplies.
[c] The types of economic growth in (a) the 1960 to 1980 period and (b) the period since 2008 are very different. In the earlier of these periods (especially prior to 1973), it was easy to extract oil, coal and natural gas inexpensively. Inflation-adjusted oil prices of less than $20 per barrel were typical. An ever-increasing supply of this oil seemed to be available. New machines (created with fossil fuels) made workers increasingly efficient. The economy tended to “overheat” if interest rates were not repeatedly raised (Figure 1). While higher interest rates could be expected to slow the economy, this was of little concern because rapid growth seemed to be inevitable. The supply of finished goods and services made by the economy was growing rapidly, even with headwinds from the higher interest rates.
On the other hand, in the 2008 to 2020 period, economic growth is largely the result of financial manipulation. The system has been flooded with increasing amounts of debt at ever lower interest rates. By the time of the lockdowns of 2020, would-be workers were being paid for doing nothing. World production of finished goods and services declined in 2020, and it has had difficulty rising since. In the first quarter of 2022, the US economy contracted by -1.4%. If headwinds from higher interest rates and QT are added, the economic system is likely to encounter substantial debt defaults and increasing breakdowns of supply lines.
[5] Today’s spiking energy prices appear to be much more closely related to the problems of the 1913 to 1945 era than they are to the problems of the late 1970s.
Looking back at Figure 7, our current period is more like the period between the two world wars than the period in the 1970s that we often associate with high inflation. In both periods, the “red” portion of the chart (the portion I identify with rising standard of living), has pretty much disappeared. In both the 1913 to 1945 period and today, it is nearly all the energy supplies other than biofuels that are disappearing.
In the 1913 to 1945 period, the problem was coal. Mines were becoming increasingly depleted, but raising coal prices to pay for the higher cost of extracting coal from depleted mines tended to make the coal prohibitively expensive. Mine operators tried to reduce wages, but this was not a solution either. Fighting broke out among countries, almost certainly related to inadequate coal supplies. Countries wanted coal to supply to their citizens so that industry could continue, and so that citizens could continue heating their homes.
As stated at the beginning of this section, today’s problem is that nearly all our energy supplies are becoming unaffordable. In some sense, wind and solar may look better, but this is because of mandates and subsidies. They are not suitable for operating the world economy within any reasonable time frame.
There are other parallels to the 1913 to 1945 period. One of the big problems of the 1930s was prices that would not rise high enough for farmers to make a profit. Oil prices in the United States were extraordinarily low then. BP 2021 Statistical Review of World Energy reports that the average oil price in 1931, in 2020 US$, was $11.08. This is the lowest inflation-adjusted price of any year back to 1865. Such a price was almost certainly too low for producers to make a profit. Low prices, relative to rising costs, have recently been problems for both farmers and oil producers.
Another major problem of the 1930s was huge income disparity. Wide income disparity is again an issue today, thanks to increased specialization. Competition with unskilled workers in low wage countries is also an issue.
It is important to note that the big problem of the 1930s was deflation rather than inflation, as the debt bubble started popping in 1929.
[6] If a person looks only at the outcome of raising interest rates in the 1960s to 1980 timeframe, it is easy to get a misleading idea of the impact of increased interest rates now.
If people look only at what happened in the 1980s, the longer-term impact of the spike in interest rates doesn’t seem too severe. The world economy was growing well before the interest rates were raised. After the peak in interest rates, the world economy generally continued to grow. As a result of the high oil prices and the spiking interest rates, the world hastened its transition to using a bit less crude oil per person.
At the same time, the world economy was able to expand the use of other energy products, at least through 2018.
Since 2019, our problem has been that the total energy supply has not been keeping up with the rising population. The cost of extraction of all kinds of oil, coal and natural gas keeps rising due to depletion, but the ability of customers to afford the higher prices of finished goods and services made with those energy products does not rise to match these higher costs. Energy prices probably would have spiked in 2020 if it were not for COVID-related restrictions. Production of oil, coal and natural gas has not been able to rise sufficiently after the lockdowns for economies to fully re-open. This is the primary reason for the recent spiking of energy prices.
Turning to inflation rates, the relationship between higher interest rates (Figure 1) and annual inflation rates (Figure 8) is surprisingly not very close. Inflation rates rose during the 1960 to 1973 period despite rising interest rates, mostly likely because of the rapid growth of the economy from an increased per-capita supply of inexpensive energy.
Figure 8 shows that inflation rates did not come down immediately after interest rates were raised to a high level in 1980, either. There was a decline in the inflation rate to 4% in 1983, but it was not until the collapse of the central government of the Soviet Union in 1991 that inflation rates have tended to stay close to 2% per year.
[7] A more relevant recent example with respect to the expected impact of rising interest rates is the impact of the increase in US short-term interest rates in the 2004 to 2007 period. This led to the subprime debt collapse in the US, associated with the Great Recession of 2008-2009.
Looking back at Figure 1, one can see the effect of raising short-term interest rates in the 2004 to 2007 era. This eventually led to the Great Recession of 2008-2009. I wrote about this in my academic paper, Oil Supply Limits and the Continuing Financial Crisis, published in the journal Energy in 2010.
The situation we are facing today is much more severe than in 2008. The debt bubble is much larger. The shortage of energy products has spread beyond oil to coal and natural gas, as well. The idea of raising interest rates today is very much like going into the Great Depression and deciding to raise interest rates because bankers don’t feel like they are getting an adequate share of the goods and services produced by the economy. If there really aren’t enough goods and services for everyone, giving lenders a larger share of the total supply cannot work out well.
[8] The problems we are encountering have been hidden for many years by an outdated understanding of how the economy operates.
Because of the physics of the economy, it behaves very differently than most people assume. People almost invariably assume that all aspects of the economy can “stay together” regardless of whether there are shortages of energy or of other products. People also assume that shortages will be immediately become obvious through high prices, without realizing the huge role interest rates and debt levels play. People further assume that these spiking prices will somehow bring about greater supply, and the whole system will go on as before. Furthermore, they expect that whatever resources are in the ground, which we have the technical capability to extract, can be extracted.
It is important to note that prices are not necessarily a good indicator of shortages. Just as a fever can have many causes, high prices can have many causes.
The economy can only continue as long as all of its important parts continue. We cannot assume that reported reserves of anything can really be extracted, even if the reserves have been audited by a reliable auditor. What actually can be extracted depends on prices staying high enough to generate funds for additional investment as required. The amount that can be extracted also depends on the continuation of international supply lines providing goods such as steel pipe. The continued existence of governments that can keep order in the areas where extraction is to take place is important, as well.
What we should be most concerned about is a very rapidly shrinking economic system that cannot accommodate very many people. It seems that such a situation might occur if the debt bubble is popped and too many supply lines are broken. There may be a time lag between when interest rates are raised and when the adverse impacts on the economy are seen. This is a reason why central bankers should be very cautious about the increases in interest rates they make as well as QT. The situation may turn out much worse than planned!

People who have “possible, probable or confirmed monkeypox” are being told they should isolate at home, as long as they remain well enough.
Those with lesions and scabs are advised to avoid all contact with others, whether or not monkeypox has been confirmed. Those who test positive for the infection should avoid sex while they have any symptoms, including early signs, such as include headache and fever.
Anyone with unusual rashes or lesions is still advised to seek advice from NHS111 or a sexual health service.

I am witnessing mostly in women, debilitating back pain, severe weakness in upper extremities, tremors, and unsteadiness. Occasionally accompanied by UTI. Onset post experimental jabs x 2. They then consemted to a third jab. Also witnessing a whole lot of cancer. Two out of six have already died. So many elderly are blaming their poor health on aging. Perhaps this is true, but many of these people were gardening, playing sport and “living” prior to their injections and now do not leave the house! A question.

Do not trust any physician or nurse in the USA / Canada as we are all under a formal gag order from the CARTEL. If we provide TRUTH by informed consent, we deviate from the CARTEL’s narrative they will remove our licensures and certifications.

I was walking today and I had one of those big thoughts pop into my head that said: “What happened with the childhood hepatitis outbreak?” And my brain’s answer was: “Monkeypox”. CBS news reported on this 2 days ago on May 28, 2022, and they report on a child case study and talk about the symptoms and her transplant surgery. By the way, one of the things I learned in my PhD program was that liver transplantation requires life-long immuno-suppressive drugs. LIFE. LONG.
8 hours of surgery to replace her liver and 90% of it was damaged. 90%. This family they report on also had a baby that died of SIDS. Poor family. They are struggling to understand with what’s going on. … I am terribly sorry for posting this photo, but this is indeed many people’s realities now and I think it’s important that others know.

Not me, I am afraid.
Electricity is just a medium. It is not a source of energy. You can even say that petroleum is also a medium. It does not matter if you are believer of abiotic oil, crude oil was “created” by “something” and crude oil is a store of energy for future use.
Whenever a medium is use, there is a loss. It is not 100% perfect. Assuming FF is made from the ancient plant matter, FF is nothing more than stored sunlight. Burning FF to generate heat, there is a loss of (efficiency of conversion). You don’t have an choice but to burn to get the energy out. If you use FF to burn and cook food, you get the end result (cooked food) immediately without any intermediary. You burn FF to boil water to turn the turbine to generate electricity where it is transported long distance so that you can cook your food from the electric stove. The efficiency is so horrible that I am not surprised, if the total energy loss is >60% as compared to you taking a small lump of coal and cook the same food over the coal fire.
As this is invisible to us on this efficiency thing, no one cares. It is like the truck drivers delivering food where food does not come from farms but in a supermarket. The longer the supply chain, the more invisible it is.
Imagine the my horror of someone putting up an array of solar panels, converters, batteries, electronics, etc so that he can set up his electric stove to cook. Is it simpler to just use a solar cooker?
https://www.homesciencetools.com/article/how-to-build-a-solar-oven-project/
Yah… not high tech enough. My dad used the following phrase to describe this insanity : “Pulling down your pants to fart”.
Humans have reached that stage. It is now paying the price for its folly.
A fart is more efficient the closer the nose is to the bungholio…. the intensity is much much greater
“… there is a loss of (efficiency of conversion).”
“As this is invisible to us on this efficiency thing, no one cares.”
I can’t speak for any other sim, but yes, I don’t care.
the conversion losses didn’t stop IC from forming.
and don’t stop bAU from continuing today.
and shouldn’t stop bAU in the Core at least until 2030.
it is what it is.
it will be what it will be.
que sera sera.
Simpler but less convenient. Using solar/battery/inverter someone can cook food and make hot tea when it’s dark or cloudy using energy stored in the past. That’s why solar panels/batteries/inverters will outsell solar ovens as long as it’s available. All about having dispatchable energy at ones fingertips instead of waiting around to capture flows in realtime.
the point CTG is making is that electricity cannot produce food
cooking it is not the same as supplying it
Why?
Food energy.
Energy can be arbitrary converted.
Of course there is conversion losses, but such is any thermodynamic process.

Saudi Arabia may raise July crude oil prices for Asia
SINGAPORE, May 30(Reuters) – Top oil exporter Saudi Arabia may raise prices of all grades of crude it sells to Asia in July following strong refining margins for gasoline and jet fuel, while expectations of a rebound in China’s demand also supported prices, trade sources said.
The July official selling price (OSP) for flagship Arab Light crude could increase by $1-$1.50 a barrel from June, six refining sources said in a Reuters survey.
Three of the six respondents expect Arab Light’s July OSP to be raised by more than $1.50 a barrel while forecasts from the remaining people were between 85 cents and $1.40.
July OSPs are rebounding from sharp cuts seen in June but would still be off record premiums posted for May.
The Saudi price hikes are expected to come after spot premium for July-loading Middle East grades strengthened this month as gasoline cracks in Asia surged to all-time highs ahead of the peak U.S. summer driving season.

We need heavier oil to mix with US-produced light oil. We can’t use just our own oil. We need to export some light oil and import some heavier oil to get enough diesel and jet fuel.
These increases must be relative to a benchmark for a grade. It doesn’t look like Saudi Arabia wants to sell more oil, right now.

A fit and healthy young woman died in her sleep without warning.
Catherine Keane’s housemates didn’t think much of it when she failed to come down for breakfast at the height of the Covid pandemic last summer.
The 31-year-old and her pals were all working from home in Rathmines in Dublin, and so their schedules were no longer as rigid.
However, by mid-morning they were a little concerned and sent her a text and when there was no response checked her room, reports the Irish Mirror.
They found Catherine had passed away in the night.
It was later determined she’d died from Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS).
SADS is a condition where someone dies suddenly and unexpectedly from a cardiac arrest, but the cause of the cardiac arrest can’t be found.

Supposedly that’s how Actor Ray Liotta checked out. But come on, we all know the vaccines are 100% safe and effective. He probably from stress knowing he took the vaccine at least that’s what doctors tell us.
Since Feb 2022, I have decided to shut off my the part of the brain that deals with sanity and logic. One of the main reason for that after thinking long and hard, I come to a conclusion that nothing is real. How can a pregnant lady avoids all forms of alcohol, medication and gladly take 2-3 jabs, have a miscarriage and feels nothing (i.e. no big deal)? Is that “normal” ?
Every single thing that I encountered from government policies, social norms, behaviour of people to interaction with family members is totally extraordinary. How can it be common across geography, culture and religion? How come it affects people who are not watching videos, read the news or being brainwashed?
I have stopped reading blogs of Kirsch, Chudov, Boriquigato, etc What they write are based on facts but they keep banging on “why people cannot understand?”
“Government gives money to the poor people to fight high cost of living”. How real can we get? How come no one questions?
There is indeed a “helping hand” for the Creator in closing down this modern human civilization.
Oh yes the pregnant ladies are highly educated and knows a lot of pregnancy and motherhood. Go figure! No I don’t accept brainwashing because these are the same people who can see through government stupidity. They know about propaganda by the government and try to resist them but will gladly wear 2 masks and take 3 shots.
They had a mind-job done on them. They were hypnotized. Deep routed fears were tapped into. Group behavior mechanics did the rest.
This will all be restarted again in the fall because now the biological robot NPCs are programmed to obey at the snap of fingers.
It feels as though we are at a point where we must question our own sanity and logic. Is everything we consider a reality about resource and energy constraints just the ranting and raving of mad people – Gail being our insane priestess ?
I am constantly amazed at the lack of thinking by people about basically everything. It can not be that those that are ignorant, deluded and in denial can be right and to infinity and beyond is true.
Can it?
Never underestimate how truly stoooopid a MOREON is…. they might look normal .. act normal.. most are polite… they can carry on conversations… but they are stoooopid dunces…
In fact I’ve found myself on a few occasions having a discussing with a MOREON … and thinking this person seems like they might not be a MOREON… have I won the lottery? … but then I’ll bring up a topic that tests them… and every single time (except once) I found that I was disappointed…
Silly me – there are 8B people on the planet and the non-MOREONS are probably less than 10,000 — possibly less than 100… the odds of actually encountering a non-MOREON in real life…. like I said – more likely to win the super jackpot in the lottery…
Assume every person you meet is a MOROEN… and you will not be disappointed
nikoB, it is either “you question your own sanity” or “you think totally out of the box” like “Can it be real?” I mean a high level executive, fully informed, highly educated, reads a lot, skeptical on many things especially government related but believes in the vaccine and took the vaccine while pregnant. However, she does not touch a drop of alcohol. I am sure there are thousands of these people around.
All of them from all around the world? From Japan to Singapore, India, UK and USA?
Do you question your sanity or sanity questions you?
I know, CTG, I know.
A friend – ditto highly educated, rich and successful, etc – who has often in the past expressed horror at the number of annual deaths caused by medical negligence, is deeply cynical regarding politicians, and has much experience of corporate skullduggery at a high level – just rushed to get injected, and then a booster in order to go on holiday.
And that despite knowing of one (elderly) death immediately post-vaxx, and one close friend ending up in hospital with a clot after injection!
Very much a TV/MSM consumer, though.
One can’t say they don’t know any history: one of the few people with whom one can talk about Mao, Stalin and Hitler. But they still haven’t made the connection.
There are two matrizes at play here.
One with a rule “actions have consequences” and another one below that tries to make it look like actions have no consequences.
Go to court to stop this mess: no consequences
Edward Snowden? no consequences.
Maybe they are even “competing” ? hehe…
Strange! Interesting way to hide the problem.
Japan consumers wait months for washing machines, air conditioners
Appliance shortage drags on amid chip crunch, China lockdowns
TOKYO — Home appliances remain in short supply across Japan due to the global semiconductor crunch and supply chain disruptions tied to Beijing’s zero-COVID policy, as companies that have resumed production at factories in China say it will take time to reach normal operations.
“Delivery delays began to emerge in May, and we have been telling customers that they will have to wait one to two months for delivery,” said a sales staffer at an electronics retail shop in Tokyo.
Microwaves and rice cookers on store shelves carry signs saying that new orders are suspended due to a halt in shipments. Some appliances already owned may be difficult to repair because parts no longer are readily obtained.
Washing machines are particularly mired in short supply. One retailer website shows that 70% of the 40 drum-type machines listed are out of stock, with tags saying “items will be shipped as soon as they arrive.” Some machines, including those from Hitachi and Sharp, are scheduled to ship in August or later.
About 30% of refrigerator models also are cold out of stock.
Air conditioners are feeling the heat as well. Supply was already unstable due to the chip shortage, but the approaching summer season has made the problem clear.

I expect that there are still a lot of slow deliveries here in the US, as well.
Primary school children in Wales could be offered EDIBLE INSECTS including mealworms and crickets as scientists urge the next generation to embrace eco-friendly meat substitutes
While chicken nuggets and chips may be the current favourites at the school canteen, scientists hope to trump this with a new kind of ‘tasty grub’.
Researchers are planning to feed bugs like house crickets and mealworms to children between the ages of five and 11 from four primary schools in Wales.
They are also planning to serve up ‘bolognese’ made from insect and plant protein, and potentially encourage them and their parents to move away from meat.
The project, led by academics from Cardiff University and the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol), will also involve surveying the primary school children to find out their attitudes to environmental issues and how they translate into views on the food they eat.
From this they wish to find the best way of educating the younger generation and their families on the environmental and nutritional benefits of edible insects, and in turn cut global meat consumption.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-10867737/Scientists-plan-feed-primary-school-children-crickets-mealworms-make-UK-greener.html
Perhaps this is is, “If there isn’t other food, what can these children eat?”
‘Let them eat insects’ (and stop whining)
I will eat insects rather than eat grains, sugar, or vegetable oils. They are nutritious and easy to digest. In fact, I would rather eat insects than many non-fermented vegetables. The problem is that they are trying to substitute meat with them, and they do not have the essential fats and retinol that meat has. But insects can be a significant fraction of a healthy diet.
Not so fast guys:
https://scienceinfo.net/eating-insects-help-the-human-brain-evolve.html
You could argue that eating is a cultural thing. newborns being some sort of “blank slate”-concept. I mean, ok, go for it. Im ok with roasted chicken.
One thing as far as I understand is pure plant based nutrition is only possible as long as you can get the most rare nuts and stuff from the most exotic places in the world.

New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern to meet with Biden, discuss combating online radicalization
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who successfully oversaw the implementation of gun control measures in her own country, will meet with President Biden on Tuesday at the White House to discuss a range of issues, including countering “radicalization to violence both off and online.”
Why it matters: This is the first time a New Zealand leader has visited the White House since 2014, with Biden and Ardern slated to discuss their bilateral relationship, their shared vision for the Indo-Pacific region, and the climate crisis, according to a statement from White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
They will also discuss the need for “countering terrorism and radicalization to violence both off and online,” Jean-Pierre said.
https://www.axios.com/2022/05/29/ardern-biden-meet
Funny … after my multiple calls to the Ministry my internet went down … am using mobile data on a tether… could be a coincidence… not sure when the technician will come
This is not funny at all!
The Ardern is a firm defender of the misinformation idea that has no base in science from what I conclude from the works of Shannon and others..
Also what I read today is Canada is about to restirct firearms.
I do not say that a firearm is a “solution” but it sometimes makes an argument.
Also in Austria they created additional legislation today for the COVID Pass that is enacted but currently (!) the COVID Pass is not in use…
“They” see it as “We are not there yet”
My fellow friends see it as “let’s wait and see”
Have fun with that!

> EU agrees to partial ban of Russian oil; US won’t provide missiles capable of striking Russia: Live Ukraine updates
European Union leaders reached a deal late Monday on a sixth sanction package that would include a partial oil embargo against Russia after resolving an objection from Hungary.
During a marathon meeting in Brussels, the EU members agreed to an embargo that covers Russian oil transported by sea, allowing a temporary exemption for imports delivered by pipeline.
EU Council President Charles Michel said on Twitter the deal covers more than two-thirds of oil imports from Russia, “cutting a huge source of financing for its war machine. Maximum pressure on Russia to end the war.”
The package had stalled in recent days as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban repeatedly claimed his nation’s economy would shatter without oil from Russia, which supplies 60% of Hungary’s oil. All 27 EU countries must agree for the package to win approval.
As a landlocked nation, Hungary is not impacted by the ban on oil brought in by tanker.
https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/05/30/ukraine-war-live-updates/9992994002/
At least the EU folks had the good sense to allow “a temporary exemption for imports delivered by pipeline.”
Hopefully, most of the tanker oil that is being embargoed can find different homes, elsewhere. China and India were mentioned recently, I believe.
“EU Council President Charles Michel said on Twitter the deal covers more than two-thirds of oil imports from Russia…”
2/3 of Russian oil to the EU?
please be true, please be true, PLEASE…
and soon? please be true…
this would be a great experiment in how truly out of touch these globalist EU so-called leaders are in regards to energy issues.
are the WEF the Woketard Elite F789ers actually pushing around the EU?
please be true…
I like to watch.
This is unbelievable.
> EU, resolving a deadlock, in deal to cut most Russia oil imports
BRUSSELS, May 30 (Reuters) – European Union leaders agreed in principle on Monday to cut 90% of oil imports from Russia by the end of this year, resolving a deadlock with Hungary over the bloc’s toughest sanction yet on Moscow since the invasion of Ukraine three months ago.
Diplomats said the agreement would clear the way for other elements of a sixth package of EU sanctions on Russia to take effect, including cutting Russia’s biggest bank, Sberbank (SBMX.MM), from the SWIFT messaging system.
“This immediately covers more than 2/3 of oil imports from Russia, cutting a huge source of financing for its war machine. Maximum pressure on Russia to end the war,” he said.
Two thirds of the Russian oil imported by the EU comes via tanker and one third by the Druzhba pipeline. The embargo on seaborne oil imports would therefore apply to 2/3 of all oil imported from Russia.
The embargo would encompass 90% of all imports from Russia once Poland and Germany, which are also connected to the pipeline, stop buying it by the end of the year.
The remaining 10% will be temporarily exempt from the embargo so that landlocked Hungary, which was the main holdout for a deal, along with Slovakia and the Czech Republic, which are all connected to the southern leg of the pipeline, has access which it cannot easily replace.
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/eu-pledge-support-ukraine-not-ready-with-new-russia-sanctions-2022-05-30/
I presume that Europe will quickly figure out that cutting oil imports from Russia by sea creates a disaster for Europe.
Anything with an “end of the year” deadline can be easily withdrawn before then.
it adds up to a ban of about 1/3 of total EU oil imports:
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/31/oil-prices-eu-russian-crude.html
“Oil prices jumped after EU leaders reached an agreement late Monday to ban 90% of Russian crude by the end of the year.
Roughly 36% of the EU’s oil imports come from Russia, a country that plays an outsized role in global oil markets.”
but it must be admitted that the timing of the EU is quite impressive.
banning the oil by the onset of winter.
freezing in the dark, maybe?
“cutting a huge source of financing for its war machine”
is pure BS.
If it is a machine it need steel and oil. Russia has that. I doubt you can build a war machine with Euro bills, but I am not into that stuff.
Zerohedge has a relevant article on how Pakistan is on the verge of economic collapse and its significance in the emerging global depression at https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/pakistan-verge-inflationary-collapse-pleads-larger-imf-bailout :
“Beyond the threats associated with sinking economies and regional conflicts, the IMF has become the go-to loan shark, circling struggling nations when it smells blood in the water. As more and more countries face declines associated with inflation/stagflation, it is not conspiratorial to suggest that the IMF greatly benefits. As the world breaks down, more nations become beholden to the IMF debt structure until eventually they are owned lock, stock and barrel by a handful of banking elites.”
IMF. = International Mafia Fund
It is a depressing world we live in. The IMF issues you mention remind me of Michael Hudson’s writings about how the rich nations, in general, have been treating the poor nations. Any positive cash flow seems to go as debt repayment to the rich nations.

> Johnson’s lurch to the right adds to momentum for leadership vote
Several Tory MPs believe the 54-letter threshold has been reached and that a challenge to PM could be mounted as soon as next week
Boris Johnson’s lurch to the right after Partygate is fuelling even more anger among rebel Tory MPs, with momentum now building for a leadership challenge next week.
Conservative whips spent the first day of recess anxiously phoning round the parliamentary party to shore up support for the prime minister, as three more MPs called on him to resign, including Jeremy Wright, the former attorney general.
Several Tory MPs told the Guardian they believed the threshold of 54 letters withdrawing support for Johnson was close to being crossed – or may have been already. This would trigger a secret ballot on whether they still have confidence in the prime minister.
It is understood that Sir Graham Brady, the chair of the 1922 Committee, will have to use his own judgment about whether to announce the milestone being passed straight away if it occurs while parliament is off this week, or wait until Monday, when the House of Commons returns after the Queen’s jubilee celebrations.

Another true story.
My mother needed her electrician and called him on the phone.
After long calls his wife picked up the phone.
‘sorry, my husband had a stroke, he is at the hospital, he had a surgery’.
They met at the ‘vaccine camp’ to have the second dose.
My mother is 82 and he is 49.
My mother after the second dose had Covid-19, infected by my sister who was vaccinated too, with two doses.
it is unclear if the electrician also had the third one.
Of course the argument of adverse reactions is off-limits with my mother, we talk of all the rest.
Have a nice evening my friends
Update by another familiar. He had three doses.
The denial, the inability to calmly discuss, and the continued adherence to a diabolically bad protocol is the most unbelievable part of this entire situation.
The more schooled and conceited and embedded the cult member the greater the cognitive dissonannce…the discomfort in social situations when anything regarding the tsunami of bad health outcomes, including being sick with the disease, raises its head is palpable. Hence avoid discussion of all adverse events; ‘sudden, unexpected, sad, peacefully..all terms used in obituaries instead of dealing with the truth. Kids’ sport events have always had the odd heart attack, didn’t you know, and don’t get me started on how dangerous those referee whistles are!
‘According to this theory, when two actions or ideas are not psychologically consistent with each other, people do all in their power to change them until they become consistent. The discomfort is triggered by the person’s belief clashing with new information perceived, wherein the individual tries to find a way to resolve the contradiction to reduce their discomfort.’
The thing is…
We are rank amateurs in this game… and we are up against the professionals — the PR Team has the best of the best on board — top psychologists, ad and marketing people … they’ve been formulating this for many years now … and they know all about Pavlov and the dog….
And to top it off… they have the MSM machine on their side + social media — and they are blocking all attempts to counter the narrative….
It is virtually impossible to turn a CovIDIOT… I mentioned that I was on DM with a hardened CovIDIOT whose business was destroyed by the lockdowns (he runs big events)… he had time on his hands so the discussions were endless… but there was no way to turn him …
At one point when he was sending me the usual scare photos from the MSM — I said to him — bro – of course a few young people are dying – hundreds of kids die each year from the common cold and flu… it happens… this is no different … You know that by participating in this be sharing this stuff you are committing financial suicide? As long as people believe this is something that is not primarily killing people who were already near death – guess what – no events for you.
That did not turn him. He no longer communicates with me — and he still cannot run events because there are limits still in place.
Hopefully the electrician survives so he can have more boosters — it will be so much worse for him if he is unable to take more boosters. (see I can try to be a CovIDIOT)
Recurring blackouts will entail periods without refrigeration and air conditioning. Food spoils rapidly especially when the ambient temperature is high.
For many people, it will be difficult to cook during these periods, as well. It becomes difficult to keep an adequate food supply. If electricity is off, tap water will be unavailable where it needs to be pumped upward, such as in high-rise buildings, contributing to the problem.
People with intermittent electricity usually cook with some form of gas, or with fuel such as coal, wood or animal dung. We need to be thinking about which alternative we might use.
That is one of the reasons why I have been stocking up on cooked canned foods as well as peanut butter. They have several years of shelf life.
You don’t think people will come and take that from you?
I don’t broadcast what I have.
They’ll be going house to house…. keep in mind the worst of the lot will be the gangs of former military
I recommend not lighting a fire – chimney smoke will give you away.
How far are you from the nearest nuclear power plant?
Pressure cooked food, especially meat, has the energy requirement for cooking, 90 minutes worth, already factored in when you later have to open the jar, only needing perhaps to just warm up the contents. You don’t want to have to be hauling and splitting wood to fuel the cooking source while food and water are already in short supply. Electric stoves are huge energy drains that will suck your batteries dry in very short order if you are relying on solar. Which is why I went on a canning spree a year and a half ago to pressure cook as much chicken as I could pack away while the natural gas was still cheap. People thought I was nuts. Well, maybe I still am, but time will tell.
Finding jars and lids quickly becomes a problem, if very many try to do it. World supply chains are needed.
Storing up food might give you a little extra time. You will also need other things, including fresh water and (in some parts of the world) a way to keep warm. Transportation would be helpful as well.
I should really post a pic of my russian stove, which warms the whole house but has a nook where you can stick a pot for soup or slowly cooked meat. Plenty of birch trees all around and you load it once or twice a day. It is made by about 1000 bricks and is 8 feet tall, so it retains a lot of heat through the night. You can get a good idea of these beasts by googling “large brick russian stove”. The bricks are made here using local clay.
Aren’t you going to boycott that Russian stove in order to sanction Putin!!!? You Monsteurrr!!
Looks good – you can probably fit an entire body in there for roasting…. just hack it to pieces first
Looks great. I’m a little envious 🙂
I’d like to address the mental issues associated with collapse…
Only a truly remote doomie would not be found by the hordes and overrun …. they will come.. to where the food is (if UEP fails).
You will remain in severe isolation … try a few days with no internet — after being addicted to always being able to communicate and research on demand. I get very frustrated when the internet is down… that would lead to severe depression if it was a permanent thing.
You think life is pointless now — try it when there are zero little joys in life — rather it’s just one endless list of drudgery … washing clothes by hand — chopping and hauling wood by hand — fighting to grow a crop — then eating root vegetables in the winter…. it will only get more difficult … the slightest injury can end your life…
You are.
I also started canning and jarring last year within my means. In particular, baked beans, mackerel and herring, chickpeas, kidney beans, lentils, chicken, beef and pork, peanut puree and various fruits and vegetables.
Pasta and rice anyway in larger quantities.
Most of it is edible cold or only needs to be heated briefly. When I look at the price increases in the last 3 months, this was already a very good investment.
Also things that are at least a few months durable like oatmeal, almonds, walnuts I have enough in stock. So one has already times some months “save”.
If necessary, I could so also still vacuum to extend the shelf life.
For the water supply I have two different water filters.
The biggest problem here is probably the heat.
The heating depends on gas (and electricity to keep it running).
Just in case, I have at least invested in thermal underwear, new sleeping bags, good wool blankets from the army and a few hot water bottles.
Two power stations with about 600 Wh (net) each are ready.
These are at least a few things that can be done and are still rather in the “low budget” range. They give you the feeling to be at least somewhat prepared in case things should really go downhill so soon.
Even if you figure out how to cook – there will soon be no food.
People seem not to understand that collapse is permanent — the supply chains rupture and that’s game over (see Korowicz)…
The doomie people seem to think they just have to survive for a short period of time then everything returns to semi-normal.
That is delusional thinking
Well, If collapse would be in October I would have 7 months without anything(?). In May next year the first edible plants wake up. Everything else you can work it out with your community later. If they did not rip your face before that…
Fuel pond payloads will arrive much sooner than that … do you know how far you are from the nearest nuclear power plant? It will have multiple spent fuel ponds
checked:
In my main wind direction there is no nuclear power plant less than 2000 km.
Great – I am sure the plumes of radioactivity won’t drive that far…
Oh wait ….
Estimates of the cancer burden in Europe from radioactive fallout from the Chernobyl accident

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8707407/
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ijc.22037
The thing is …
Chernobyl was a reactor issue – and choppers dropped tonnes of cement onto it stopping the radiation from escaping…. if not it would still be spewing … I wonder what 40 years of spew would do to the cancer rates in Europe??? Any idea?
As we are aware – “To me, the spent fuel is scarier. All those spent fuel assemblies are still extremely radioactive,” Dalnoki-Veress says.
http://science.time.com/2011/03/15/a-new-threat-in-japan-radioactive-spent-fuel/
I’m sure you’ll be fine… even if you are surrounded by nuclear power plants – as long as they are all 2000km from you there will be no impact. 2000km is the magic number (I just made that up … but trust me …)
You see what I am doing here? I am slowly building a Mass Psychosis to make you believe you will be fine.
It’s similar to the mass psychosis that we have been provided with that makes most people believe we are transitioning to a renewable energy world… it makes them believe they will be fine.

The rising percentage of mortgages that last into the pensioners age is rising in Slovakia so much that the central bank of Slovakia must limit the loans for the people over 40.
https://ekonomika.pravda.sk/ludia/clanok/628639-na-dochodku-ostava-s-hypotekou-na-krku-stale-viac-ludi-narodna-banka-obmedzi-poziciavanie-koho-sa-dotkne/?utm_source=pravda&utm_medium=hp-box&utm_campaign=shp_bleskove_spravy
Limiting mortgage loans to people who are near retirement would sound like a sensible thing to do.
At one time, I knew a couple who had trouble with overspending their income. A year or so before they planned to retire, they worked on getting their income up as high as possible, and then bought a house, based on this income.
I lost track of them shortly thereafter. I cannot imagine that this arrangement worked out well.
Au contraire:
A fixed rate mortgage on an appreciating asset is a smart move. Inflation is baked in the cake, it is a way for governments to spend other people’s money; it will never go away.
Liquidity is necessary for the dips; save money, go poor.
Dennis L.
Assets appreciate when interest rates are falling. We have lived in a very special period since 1980.
When interest rates are rising, we can expect that home prices will fall. In fact, if a lot of people are dying, or even simply losing their jobs permanently, the demand for housing can be expected to fall. Without buyers, we cannot expect home prices to be high. If anything is high-priced, it will be food and fuel. People will likely move together into a smaller number of residences of various types. More will be homeless, also.
This is one of the reasons they’re letting in so many “undocumented” – to put upwards pressure on asset prices.
That might be true.
Not being sarcasitc:
Give an example without siting extreme cases where houses have declined in nominal value over the last 100 years.
Unless one is extremely unlucky, it doesn’t happen not because of economics but secondary to printing of money.
Think Berlin, 1945 price of a pile of bricks, price for that pile organized into a home today. That is extreme.
Pretty much a one sided bet: residents of inner cities who have rented are evidence of this, blacks have been left out of this source of “wealth” generation. They couldn’t get credit, redlined. missed out, neighborhood went to hell. Chicken and egg question.
Dennis L.
well i had the experience of being driven through the very best and very worst sides of detroit a couple of years ago
and saw swathes of houses that appeared to have no value at all in the poor district. whole blocks had been removed.
increasing house value would seem to depend on the continued input of available energy by its occupants
ya but why inject babies?
we must believe all the evil things Bill Gates is up to–
Margery Taylor Greene (R Ga) just added to the list:
“You have to accept the fact that the government totally wants to provide surveillance on every part of your life,” Greene said in a rant from her podcast clipped and posted online by Patriot Takes, a right-wing watchdog group.
“They want to know when you’re eating,” the conspiracy theorist added. “They want to know if you’re eating a cheeseburger, which is very bad because Bill Gates wants you to eat his fake meat that grows in a peach tree dish.”
And if you’re not eating “peach tree dish” meat, the government ― of which she is a part ― will find a way to “zap” you into compliance.
“You’ll probably get a little zap inside your body and that’s saying ‘No, no. Don’t eat a real cheeseburger, you need to eat the fake burger, the fake meat, from Bill Gates,’” Greene said.
And I’m the nutcase for saying Gates isnt roaming round forcing everyone to take his vaccines
So I take it, you believe Bill Gates is a good guy? Bill Gates who made a nice investment in BioNTech (Pfizer) prior to the Covid outbreak? The same Bill Gates who believes in depopulation and was trying his hardest to put his competitors out of business when he was running Microsoft. Bill Gates who’s out buying up as much farmland in the US.
Come on Norm, try harder.
Is there a mass psychosis norm didn’t embrace?
But to answer your question, yes, you are a nutcase if you think Bill Gates has good intentions.
Petri dish
The container is named after its inventor, German bacteriologist Julius Richard Petri.
Ask India in particular how they feel about Bill Gates. There are several African countries who are also just as angry with him.
In the mid 90’s the US Dept of Justice which with the aid of then US Attorney General, Janet Reno went after Microsoft, most notably Bill Gates for anti-competitive and bullying tactics in trying to put several internet web browsers, most notably Netscape and search engines out of business.
In many parts of the world he is not held in high esteem.
Well, at least you got plenty of feedback this time, Norman.
I can’t believe the Gates is going to try to make everyone eat meat grow in peach tree dishes. With over seven billion of us, we would rather quickly run out of peach trees.
And could you stop fawning over MTG (Margery Taylor Greene). Jen will be jealous! Marge is purely there for entertainment—a “right wing” controversialist to provide a counterweight to AOC. You’ve heard of bread and circuses? Well, she’s part of the circus.
i would enjoy making Jen’s husband jealous—but that scenario is unlikely to play out.
I wonder if he has a violent disposition. What a way to go.
AOC does at least appear to have a usable brain btw. I don’t think MTG could act as a counterweight to her.
No doubt this will put meat in Eddy’s sandwich
She was a bartender and won some sort of contest to become the D nominee if I recall?
Doesn’t she stand for socialism yet she attended The Met … with half of Wall Street and a boat load of billionaires?
Possibly the most disgusting pig on the planet — right up there with HRC — just that HRC is more cunning (where’s Seth Rich?)
lol–women with strength really make you uncomfortable dont they eddy.
i guess you can’t deflate/inflate then as required?
You’re the one who is shacked up with a blow up doll norm…
M Fast would snap you in two.
isnt that what happened to the sorcerers apprentice?
that didnt end well as i recall
And this is norm’s attempt at a come back…. hahahahaha
Keep trying norm …
Babies – why inject?
There will be no “official cheseburger store” where you can have a monitored transaction for a cheseburger.
If you cook it on your barbecue, that is a different story.
Where there is a problem there always is a solution.
If the people had already gone away from these cheseburger shops a while ago, this situation could not have come this far in the first place.
i agree
fake meat in a peach tree dish is much healthier
Who says you are a nutcase, Norman?
Simply not as bright and well-informed as you think you are – as is usual with people whose self-esteem exceeds their real capacity.
There are, lamentably, hundreds of millions just like you, who after two years of this still haven’t caught on, and never will.
True nutters are a rarer vintage by far!
one of life’s great lessons Xabier–that i dont think has touched you yet—-
one is as good, in whatever activity one is involved in, as someone else says you are.
take your time digesting that.
norm is a Professional Vaxxer – he is very good at getting injected with experiments
norm is also good a regurgitating Gail’s articles.. never does an original thought or anything of interest originate with norm…
norm is widely disrespected on OFW — so is mike… they seem to take pride in that…
i could never take pride in being ‘respected’ by someone who,when confronted with a wall of reason, resorts to crude se xual innuendo to divert attention from is total lack of knowledge of the point under discussion
and who ‘regurgitates’ stuff from 10–20–60 years ago as ‘proof’ of endless plots and conspiracies.(even the latest school shooting was faked, according to eddy)
or who can only resort to rage and faux-obscenity in the face of reasoned discussion which might conflict with his own version of reality.
as it is, one reads casually down the list of comments, noting eddyisms x about 30–with maybe half a dozen from everybody else.
the upshot of such a barrage of nothingisms being, that all those who might have made a meaningful contribution (good or bad) just don’t bother any more.
leaving eddy on his Onassis barstool, certain of his wisdom, by virtue of the fact that there’s no one left to say anything else.
But norm — you are the one who never responds to questions…
Let’s try — why would governments recommend covid injections for babies – when they admit that the injections don’t stop the babies from contracting and spreading covid to at risk people — and they know that babies do not get severe illness or die from covid?
norm is trying to plead insanity — as an excuse…
But X is right – norm is just not that sharp… I’d say norm is about average for a … ___________.
One might say taking 5 shots qualifies for the lower decile but then billions will be joining norm in that club. norm’s just much older than then so he gets priority.
Poor sad old norm… we kinda pity your norm…. but at the same time we are really pleased not to be you… that would really suck…
I’m also very pleased that you’re not me
And my gf is even more pleased.
As she is always saying (particularly when she reads your comments eddy)—those who can……do
those who never stop talking about it….can’t.
You’d give anything to be Fast Eddy though…. hahaha…
No need to respond to that.
it would at least mean that comments would not revolve around self obsession, constant attention seeking, terminal, incurable conspiratitis and self promoted four figure IQs.
the downside would be that my gf would dump me.
I’m not sure if Normal intended his comment to be derogatory or encouraging? (I’m certain the successful NPC breeder is deeply cognitively dissonant, so it goes to show)
🤔
Imma go with the latter.
Why you might ask?
Because!
🥳
I was also offended by some satellite from India filming the moon landing site.
Personally, “India” and “Satellite” should not be words which should be used in the same sentence.
There is something called the Kessler effect. In short, there are quite a lot of space trash out there, which fly very fast and will damage space probes, satellites, and whatnot because they can’t really be stopped with existing tech.
countries with a lot of people but little technological contribution shooting satellites to broadcaast their own programming significantly contribute to the space trash problem.
Do we really need satellites broadcasting Telugu, Malay or Xhosa programs on space? I have to say, no.
Again the lack of planning by the advanced world. If they threatened any country not in the list of the nuclear club shooting satellites with hydrogen bombs, such third world satellites would not have been shot and the world would have more time to prepare against the Kessler Effect.
Well, India is part of the nuclear club, so I guess they are an advanced country, as are Pakistan and North Korea.
It is possible to advance civilization without economic growth.
Much like bastiat’s fallacy, a lot of economic activity is to feed the bloated pop of unnecessariats created because of the world wars.
If the Unnecessariats disappear, sure, there will be a big reduction of economic activity but the resources could be used to fund space and other advanced activities.
I have read quite a few kindle alt history books. In one of the books, the Tunguska explosion in 1909 occurred over London instead, making the United Kingdom unable to jump into the Great War. Long story short , the German Southwest Africa has become a place to shoot spacecrafts to the outer space with a regular shuttle service between Windhoek and Saturn. Of course, what we now would call Namibians disappeared without a trace, with not too many people missing them.
I would rather have a shuttle service to Saturn than Namibians.
that is the world people like Chucky Fitzclarence destroyed. The late Dr. Firth praised the ‘duty’ of such idiots who fought to eventually make the Third World Great Again and i condemned their idiocy. With the rapid accelerationism, such idiotic behaviors will be condemned, and anyone who had helped the Third World, directly or indirectly, will be relegated to the same level with Judas Iscariot and other famous traitors of history.
The bottom (50%, 75%, or 99% – take your pick) would be culled and all available resources concentrated to the top.
You’ve been reading Francis Galton again, haven’t you?
Except a Namibian would find something of a mineral in the desert that would enable space faring in the first place.
BS jobs make a BS world that’s true but that does not apply for “BS people”

Urticaria is chronic hives. It is a raise itchy rash that appears on the skin. It ranges from a few millimeters in size to the size of a hand.
Seems these injections can cause just about every disease in the book.
Come on norm … you gotta be experiencing something by now … you can tell us … you can try dismissing it as a non-jab illness… but of course it is the jab that caused it…
Be honest with yourself — and don’t pretend it away – you need to seek treatment.

Careening Towards Grace by JHK https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/careening-towards-grace/
“And yet, that demolition of the global economy proceeds a’pace as, with all demolitions, once things start crashing, nothing will stop it. Supply chains for everything are breaking, with sneaky ramifications. For instance, the ammonia-based chemical additive for diesel fuel used to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from trucks is getting scarce. New EPA rules require computerized sensors in truck engines that register nitrous oxide levels. If they are too high, the sensors automatically cut the engine. Result: trucks stop running. Further result: nothing gets delivered. Furthest result: you starve.
Meanwhile, recall the parting admonition of the late eminent virologist Luc Montagnier, discoverer of HIV, the virus behind AIDS, who, just prior to his death predicted that 100-percent of the people injected with mRNA Covid “vaccines” would be dead in two years. Yes, yes, pretty stark stuff, I know. But that was his professional opinion, and he was at the top of his profession. Forgive me for mentioning it, but there it is, like the proverbial turd in the punchbowl.
I found this post of Kunstler’s especially interesting, because it gives some of the history and interpretation of where things are going. I had missed some of this.
Mr. Kunstler should translate this :
https://www.vedomosti.ru/finance/articles/2022/05/25/923619-test-platformi-tsifrovogo-rublya
hint: making monetary transactions more easy.
Well, quite a double sided sword.
I am not yet decided on that news item but it simply does not feel right.
Don’t they have Ripple ?
The title of this seems to be (in Russian)
The test of the digital ruble platform with real money will begin in 2023
The imposition of sanctions prompted the regulator to accelerate the timing of the introduction of digital currency
Perhaps you are thinking of Dmitry Orlov translating it. He is from Russia. As far as I know, Jim Kunstler is a plain old American, living in upstate New York.
The question is more in the direction of “defender of western civ” with CBDC?
Or; too little, too late herr Doktor.
That is interesting indeed from mr Kunstler. The ‘slowly at first’ part of collapse is catching in on them.
Unfortunately it’s careening at full speed towards the Plebs. Those WEF @sswipes have their multi-million dollar fallout bunkers stocked with expensive wine and caviar.
I suspect James does not believe a lot of this — the Davos gang know the energy situation … and Ukraine is nothing more than cover for the skyrocketing inflation .. the supply chain is being dismantled.. they know there will be no Great Reset… that is also smoke and mirrors….
They are executing the UEP…
This is interesting …. Monkey Pox is a problem for those with AIDS… or anyone with compromised immunity…. and we know the vaxxed have varying degrees of immune system damage…
It makes sense to launch a disease on the CovIDIOTS that disfigures them… all those gross pustules serve a purpose – FEAR — nobody goes near anyone looking like that …. huge numbers die from the pox — ramping up FEAR — no rape – no murder – no cannibalism… just stay at home .. and wait for the food to be delivered….
It’s a bit of good news for the doomies – I recommend you put up a sign at the gate ‘Pox Here – Stay Away’ — the radiation will ignore it .. but the hordes won’t. Nobody wants to eat pustules … if they suspect you have the Pox – they few who might venture out — will avoid you.
Meanwhile, recall the parting admonition of the late eminent virologist Luc Montagnier, discoverer of HIV, the virus behind AIDS, who, just prior to his death predicted that 100-percent of the people injected with mRNA Covid “vaccines” would be dead in two years. Yes, yes, pretty stark stuff, I know. But that was his professional opinion, and he was at the top of his profession.

Haha!
And here we go……
Plans underway to ramp up monkeypox testing if outbreak grows quickly
(CNN)As more cases are uncovered in a global monkeypox outbreak, biotech companies and health officials are looking to make PCR testing for the virus more widely available in the US.
Dozens of public health labs across the country now use a more generalized test for orthopoxvirus, a larger category that includes monkeypox, smallpox and other viruses. Two biotechnology companies, Roche and Abbott, have announced plans to roll out monkeypox PCR tests, although right now, their test kits are for research only.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says it’s exploring ways to get monkeypox-specific testing out to states.
There are already 74 labs across 46 states — part of a network known as the Laboratory Response Network — that are “using an FDA-cleared test for orthopoxviruses,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said Thursday.
Current capacity is around 7,000 of these tests weekly, with the potential to expand if needed.
Dr. Amesh Adalja, senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security at the Bloomberg School of Public Health, said a lot of that capacity “was set up in response to the threat of biological weapons, and smallpox is the most worrisome orthopoxvirus.”

More testing, how surprising.

There is NO Solution to the Homeless Problem in San Francisco, California Anymore
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_um3a8r3qbM
This is nuts! 17,000 people on the streets here without a plan.
If you’ve ever been to San Francisco in the last ten years, there’s no doubt you probably saw a lot of homeless people. But unless you actually go into certain parts of town, you won’t actually see just how bad the homeless problem is in one of the richest cities in the nation.
And what’s terrible about it is that the city’s efforts aren’t addressing the core root of the problem. And it’s getting worse here, too.
Now I drove all around San Francisco on an early morning in late October in 2021. I had just left Oakland, where the homelessness is also a big problem. There’s 5,000 homeless people in Oakland and that number is growing, too. But over here across the bridge, that number is triple.
Unlike Oakland, here in San Francisco there are a lot of homeless people in the downtown area, but it might not be as widespread as you think. In the nice areas on the north end of town, there are homeless stragglers in pockets, and tents on some sidewalks, and if you walk around enough you’ll see a few people sleeping on benches and in doorways.
Almost 100% of the homeless issue in San Francisco is due to two main problems – drug addiction and mental illness and the cost of living. And to really understand the homeless problem in San Francisco, we can look at two examples of this. One is in the Tenderloin, in the heart of the city, where addiction and mental illness is rampant. And another area is a 15-minute drive outside of town in an area called Bayview where the cost of living problem has reared its head.
This is a growing social trend all over the country….as collapse continues more and more citizens will find themselves without a roof over their head
The Homeless Problem in Washington, DC is Out of Control
108,538 views · 7 days ago
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3GnmxzEUZGU
The homeless scene in DC is something I had never seen before.
Washington DC° has always been a dynamic city with plenty of highs and lows. Just like any other major city, there are some trashed parts of town where people get shot at every night. It’s also becoming gentrified at a rate faster than just about any other place.
For a major US city, it’s VERY clean and safe in many neighborhoods, especially the downtown core in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. But there’s a very interesting and complex dynamic going on here too. Just blocks from the white house are homeless encampments scattered all around a 20 block area.
Now at this point, we’ve become accustomed to seeing tents in our cities. The homeless crisis in our country is getting worse – aggravated by an affordable housing shortage and a spike in drug use and mental illness. The number of homeless people here in DC is second only to New York City on the east coast. There are perhaps 10,000 homeless people in greater Washington, DC. and that number is going up.
But looking around here, you wouldn’t know that. DC’s homeless problem isn’t on display like it is in other major US cities. Sidewalk tenting isn’t nearly as bad on the east coast. That’s because many of DC’s homeless are sheltered. Some live in short term shelters and others stay in low rent motels under government contract. A lot of mentally ill people who are sheltered at night wander the streets during the day, perpetuating random attacks and leaving a big mess in their wake.
DC is building more shelters and affordable housing, and the goal is to get people out of short term models. The city is also working to teach job skills to its homeless. They have a plan to eliminate homelessness by the year 2025, and they’re taxing wealthy residents as a means to get there. I am highly doubtful that will happen, since other cities have declared a war on homelessness, but their problems have only grown. I mean, back in 2015, DC had a plan to eliminate homelessness by 2020 and that never happened. But what DC fears the worst is that its homeless encampments become permanent like those on the west coast.
This city’s homeless encampments are scattered in pockets throughout town. They’ll shut one down only to have another one spring up down the block. The area I focused on for this video was here, just blocks from the White House. Ironically, there are encampments just a short walk from the Federal Reserve.
I spent an afternoon walking around the Capitol Hill neighborhood to capture the scene here, and spoke with many people who live on the streets – again, just blocks from the White House.
The encampment scene in Washington DC is unlike any other I had seen before. It was very surreal and weird
Sure thing Stock Investment Tip..invest in Tent manufacturers
I went outside last night and saw a cat I recognize as clearly in distress. He kept coming up to me and meowing. The cat was a beautiful siamese cat that I recognized as recently belonging to some Kennesaw State University college girls. The young women had come to my door one day, asking for my help in finding him (or her). There are lots of college students in houses around me. The school year recently ended. I wonder if the girls moved out and left the cat. This is a different version of homelessness.
In the 2008 recession, I remember that there were people who moved and left their pets behind. If they didn’t have enough money for everything, a pet was something that could be dispensed with. I am wondering if we are already starting to hit this point again. Dogs would likely be a bigger problem than cats, I expect, because big hungry stray dogs might cause problems.
Yes, was at the Park I visit every day that has a pet area fenced for dogs.
Saw a car pull up and the back door opened and a nice young cat was thrown out in the parking lot and ran away in the bushes…the car sped away….could not find the poor animal…it must of been in panic mode.
Likewise at the airport my co worker feeds cats that are left behind in the parking garage by those flying out, never to return.
Saw a number of loose dogs running around there too.
Most get caught and end up in the county shelter.
Here in South Florida yet to see encampments of homeless folks.
That does not mean there are none.
With the housing crisis here, bound to eventually come.
On my street a nice couple we saw at church had an illness with the wife dying. He sold his house to move to an over 55 Century Village type.
The investors came in and updated everything and now asking $500,000
Crazy money for this average income working class neighborhood..
If they can’t get the price, image will rent it out …
What did you do with the cat, Gail?
cats are edible. we will soon all discover it. only proven mice catchers need to be spared.
Ignored it at this point, and it doesn’t seem to be around now. Perhaps I was wrong about the owner being permanently gone.
Last night, I called the local animal control/shelter, and discovered that they aren’t open until Tuesday because of the holiday in the US today. They put dogs/cats up for adoption. If no one wants them, they euthanize them. If I see the cat again, I will put in a request to them. My husband suggested feeding the cat, to keep it around until animal control would take it, but I haven’t done that.
The cat may be choosing you to save its life by adopting him/her.
I figured that out. If animal control puts him/her up for adoption, I expect that the cat may find a home. The cat is strikingly attractive and hasn’t been stray for long.
Best of luck with it. Around 40 years ago, we had a rabbit, and due to my folly of feeding ideas, the rabbit had a short and miserable life. But recently a friend died and we inherited her cat. It feels like I’m making up for earlier mistakes. He’s not doing badly.
BTW, would animal control call you first before choosing to euthanize?
I don’t know if animal control would call before choosing to euthanize. I doubt it.
I agree with Artleads, Gail. The cat maybe choosing to grace you with its presence in your family. It’s a considerable honor, since Siamese are known to be choosy.
Ir is inevitable that today’s losers will be relegated to tent cities, mobile homes and the streets.
As the economic singularity nears, the entire economic activities will move towards to the top, and those not part of it will be cleaned out.
Soon shooting up homeless shelters and RV parks will be the favorite pastime of the rich kids, just like raping peasants’ daughters was a favorite pastime of the nobles before 1789.
The sun must be shining at MI6 headquarters today huh?
Dott. Fabio Falce during a recent conference of hospital pharmacists has talked about ‘murder done by the State’ about so called Covid-19 ‘vaccines’.
Special strong words have been used about the so called ‘heterologous’ vaccination made with one ‘vaccine’ for the first dose and another one for the second dose.
There were simply no scientific studies about and so it was a true experiment on people..

HERE IS A SIMPLE PROOF THAT COVID VACCINES
INCREASE SICKNESS AND DEATH FOR ALL AGE GROUPS.
EVEN THOSE OVER EIGHTY YEARS OLD.
IT USES EXACTLY THE SAME DATA ONCE
USED TO JUSTIFY THE VACCINE MANDATES
WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT !!!!????
Read about it here: http://www.preearth.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1184
THIS WAS NOT THE CASE 1 or 2 MONTHS AGO BUT IS NOW TRUE.
The data is from the British/English government agency UKHSA (United Kingdom Health Security Agency).
Let’s look at the (covid-19) death data for those over 80 years of age, both vaccinated, and un-vaccinated, from week 3, 2022 (the week of the great fraud) onwards:
The following table has 4 “columns”.
Column 1 lists the period/week of 2022.
Column 2 is deaths among those vaccinated per 100,000
Column 3 is the deaths among the un-vaccinated per 100,000
Column 4 tells the number of deaths saved/lost (i.e, Column 3 minus Column 2) due to the vaccines per 100,000.
week03 39 309 => the vaccines save 270 deaths per 100,000
week04 57 322 => the vaccines save 265 deaths per 100,000
week05 78 326 => the vaccines save 248 deaths per 100,000
week06 103 324 => the vaccines save 221 deaths per 100,000
week07 114 280 => the vaccines save 165 deaths per 100,000
week08 120 243 => the vaccines save 124 deaths per 100,000
week09 120 190 => the vaccines save 70 deaths per 100,000
week10 110 152 => the vaccines save 42 deaths per 100,000
week11 101 141 => the vaccines save 40 deaths per 100,000
week12 90 134 => the vaccines save 44 deaths per 100,000
week13 84 122 => the vaccines save 37 deaths per 100,000
week14…………. they suddenly decided to stop publishing the data.
I WONDER WHY?
So Column 4 is the number of deaths that are prevented for every 100,000 people who are vaccinated. If this number is negative then it records the number of deaths caused by the vaccines (per 100,000 vaccinated).
Graphing Column 4 we can see that as it approaches zero it levels off (from week 10 onwards). This is due to those presenting the data finding some fraud to keep the data positive, or simply making up the data. Anything, to keep the data from proving that the vaccines are killing more than they are saving.
Image/Graph http://www.preearth.net/images/deaths-caused-saved-by-vaccines.png
I must emphasize that the above data only records deaths due to covid-19. It does not record any deaths due to adverse reactions to the vaccines.
Anyway, after manipulating the data for the weeks 10, 11, 12, and 13, the evil people decided that the data was henceforth always going to show that the vaccines are killing more than they are saving, so they stopped publishing the data. To provide an excuse for this they had to arrange for the UK Government to stop paying for covid-19 testing, so that is what they did. In the week 14 surveillance report they state:
“From 1 April 2022, the UK Government ended provision of free universal covid-19 testing for the general public in England, as set out in the plan for living with COVID-19. Such changes in testing policies affect the ability to robustly monitor covid-19 cases by vaccination status, therefore, from the week 14 report onwards this section of the report will no longer be published.”
The relevant data from the reports can be found in the following PDF:
http://www.preearth.net/pdfs/the-vaccines-are-killing-you.pdf
Previously, this very data was used to justify the vaccine mandates. The argument was that the vaccines were saving more than they were killing. This is no longer true. What is now true, is that; The vaccines are killing more than they are saving.
Strange findings for a vaccine that allegedly works.
Gosh they sure rusted fast!
Or maybe they hauled some tanks out of a junk yard and dumped them on the side of the road for a photo op?
It looks like an odd place for a tank battle — and why are all the small trees around the tanks not destroyed?
https://www.scmp.com/news/china/military/article/3179495/russia-runs-out-tanks-will-chinas-military-take-hit?module=lead_hero_story&pgtype=homepage

When the paint is burned off vehicles very quickly rust within days and these were likely placed there to get them off the road. They did an excellent job of dropping them off because the ground isn’t too torn up. Yeah, I don’t know. Just playing devils advocate. We don’t really know what’s going on. I’m kinda surprised this has dragged on for so long. I thought it would be over a lot faster. Maybe this is going to be another dragged out quagmire of a proxy war. Is there energy for proxy wars anymore? Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia
Let’s be real – those look like tanks that were in the junk yard… and hauled and placed there for a photo shoot.
And if the tanks burned then why is there not rust covering then entire structures? If they burned why didn’t they explode – including all the shells…
I know mass psychosis is powerful so I expect more ridiculous excuses
Correct considerations.
Please consider also that Russians could have put on fire tanks because of mechanical problems or other issues about supplies, in order to avoid that enemies could take them.
Another point is that we are not able from burnt tanks to understand if they were russians of from other origins (for instance old russian weapons in Ukranian hands).
Hospital staff gagged over Covid vaccine injuries
WE ARE becoming more aware of gagging orders affecting reporting of adverse effects following Covid vaccination. Apparently hospital administrators are keen to avoid any publicity that might suggest increased incidence of cardiac events and other vaccine side effects. Their motivations for this are unclear, but we have previously noted a lack of NZ data for specific conditions. I have received a number of anecdotal reports from hospital staff and patients around the country concerning high rates of hospitalisation and death attributable to vaccine injury.
Whilst scare stories of serious Covid infection outcomes are given wide publicity, silencing of hospital staff effectively hides the prevalence of adverse effects from the public. This prevents the public from reaching informed conclusions about the relative safety of Covid vaccination.
A UK coroner’s court recently found that a 26-year-old graduate who died from a blot clot in his brain following an AstraZeneca injection was given incorrect and out-of-date information about the risks – a situation we face in NZ every day where saturation advertising claims safety and efficacy contrary to available data.
Women are being denied informed consent by gagging orders on health professionals and the deliberate withholding of data. In March a paper called Patient Betrayal: The Corruption of Healthcare, Informed Consent and the Physician-Patient Relationship found ‘a significant risk associated with Covid vaccination among women of reproductive age and during pregnancy’.
It also reported that in September 2021 the American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology (ABOG) had threatened their 22,000-plus constituents with disciplinary action, including revocation of licences and certifications if they questioned the safety of the Covid ‘vaccination’. This gagging order occurred in the absence of reliable data indicating safety for pregnant or menstruating women. Such discussions are also deleted from social media platforms.
The unprecedented character and extent of injury to menstruating women was reported last month in a paper called Covid-19 and the surge in Decidual Cast Shedding (DCS). DCS, a synchronised detachment of the entire layer of endometrium from the uterus, is historically a rare gynaecological event, with fewer than 40 cases reported in the medical literature over the last 109 years. The paper reports 292 cases of DCS following vaccination. It appears to be associated with blood changes caused by Covid vaccination, but virtually no investigation has been undertaken until now, despite very high volumes of self-reported menstrual irregularities.
The latest release of Pfizer adverse effects documents on May 2 2022 reveals that between 82-97 per cent of pregnant women whose outcome was reported in the Pfizer vaccine trials lost their babies. (NB 270 women received the mRNA injection during pregnancy but 238 cases were apparently not followed up.) Forty-five per cent of the 270 pregnant mothers reported adverse clinical events, and more than 60 per cent of these events were rated as serious. These are facts which Pfizer withheld from the public until ordered to release them by a US judge.
These recent findings highlight systematic attempts to hide the extent and serious nature of Covid vaccination injury to women. Over the next few months we expect that more scientific assessments will begin to reveal the long-term effects of Covid vaccination, not just for women but for a large range of serious conditions.
Continuing attempts to hide or delay the publication of data or suppress the discussion of scientific findings unfavourable to vaccine safety, and the censure of medical professionals who wish to offer informed consent, amount at the very least to a conspiracy of silence, and at the worst to an attempt to pervert the course of justice.
This is the reason why Pfizer wanted their internal data documents sealed for 75 years. By the time they were made public, everyone would be dead from the causes of the vaccines or from natural death.
then they realized that CovIDIOTS would just dismiss all of this as conspiracy theory and keep boosting so they said f789 it – release the lot now
hahaha Biden is in his own Matrix https://t.me/TommyRobinsonNews/36117
Pfizer’s court-ordered compliance with a FOIA request has resulted in tons of damaging data being dropped every month. Their Covid-19 “vaccine” research, development, and implementation were pocked with warning signs that the drugs were neither safe nor effective.
But the most recent release may be the most damning of all as it not only reveals the drugs are unsafe, but that Pfizer tried to cover it up by manipulating the numbers. It’s so blatant that it’s highly unlikely it was just an error.
Life News reported their study included 270 pregnant women. The first 34 had outcomes reported, but the numbers were so hideous that they did not follow the remaining 236 test subjects. Considering they were on the verge of the greatest pharmaceutical windfall in history, Pfizer decided it was better to run away from a problem rather than reveal it further.
We will never know the outcome of the last 236 pregnancies, but we know based on Pfizer’s reluctantly released data that AT LEAST 82% of pregnant women injected with their jabs during trials had miscarriages.

COVID vaccines may impair long-term immunity to the virus; Research suggests that vaccination against COVID via mRNA vaccines may reduce body’s ability to produce key type of antibody.
Israeli research showed us what we knew that COVID mRNA vaccine is damaging, subverting the immune response (limited production of antibodies to N-protein); South Africa? Portugal? Vax rate vs cases?
https://palexander.substack.com/p/covid-vaccines-may-impair-long-term
The researchers underlying this study showing the impairment of long-term immunity caused by the mRNA vaccine are truly impressive. One is from Moderna. Most are from the National Institute of Health.
Joy.
And if the monkey pox thing turns into a thing and the vaxxed start getting those boily pussy disgusting things on their bodies… I’ll be on that hotline asking more questions…
I want these fools to suffer… I want them to break out in the most vile diseases… I can even pretend there is a God and pray for that —- can someone point me to a good prayer for that??? Is there anything in the prayer book that helps one ask God for Schadenfreude to happen?
The Book of Job should do the trick !

Do you just pass Go and head directly to the nutter asylum and hang out with anna?
And does your mother join you in there? (on soosiside watch of course)
And none of this is questioned or reported by the Media. Instead it’s “get vaccinated and boosted”. It’s down right disgusting the mind f789ery going on.

A DECIDUAL CAST HAPPENS WHEN THE ENTIRE ENDOMETRIAL LINING OF THE UTERUS IS PASSED OUT OF THE BODY VIA THE CERVIX AND VAGINA…
It is a catastrophic gyneacological injury and it is EXTREMELY RARE with only 40 cases ever recorded in medical literature
Quote…
Over the past 109 years, decidual cast shedding (DCS) had less than 40 reported cases in the medical literature. The event had been so rare that there are only case studies and population prevalence data doesn’t exist, according to the research.
IN THE LATER 7.5 MONTHS OF 2021, participants of MyCycleStory.com REPORTED 292 CASES OUT OF 6,049 WOMEN who participated in the survey.

Now that would be rather gross!!!!! EU.
Can it re-grow, one wonders?
Perhaps an indication that sterilisation is the main objective, and the deaths, etc, mere collateral damage?
My money is on it not re-growing… it’s like lopping your pecker off – don’t think that regrows.
The only future for these young girls is working as a drug mules… They have a very large cavity in the abdomen which should be able to hold 3-4 kg of High Grade Bolivian.
By a bizarre chain of reasoning, a neighbour had her daughter vaxxed as she feared that Covid might make her infertile.
Quite brilliant to have harnessed self-protective instincts in the cause of extermination!
She also thinks Mark Carney is a hero, ‘making Capitalism Green……’
In all other respect a wonderful neighbour and decent person.
Can you tell her Fast Eddy said she should do stand-up comedy… she’s got a few good bits of material there — Fast will be happy to contribute….
Mark Carney is a typical corporate guy … non-controversial – mates with everyone but with nobody…
I know a few people like this … they probably wonder why I’m the only person who they can sense does not like them … that never happens to Teflan Joe’s…. In fact I can’t stand them…
This is such a sad development!
We are in year 2 of “a 10 year experiment” and the poor data that can be grabbed by honestly interested people is so devastating!
Fast might say “they are morons”. In a sense yes. In a sense no.
Imagine we had no internet, this would still be completely unnoticed.
The main problem I came across on anothar topic lately that the “strange” mentality of the vaccinated is probably due to the fact that the facts that could be known so far are so shocking (No, the govenment would just not do this!) that their mind has sealed that off for these people. Probably the heavy lid was already put on by the very idea that this catastrophe could have been man made. If you think that through (and sadly some have) it can completely shatter you very understanding of life
Sadly for the people looking at it as best as they can might have undergone a terrible time with this horror and we are still in an evolving situation.
Some had the experience, being an outcast of society, threatened, The vaccine madness horror and the outcasting was double hard for the restistance.
No “normie” was meant to withstand that pressure – the pressure was put in deliberately!
I can imagine that there are just an awful lot of people that will either regret what happened or in some sort start to complain (as far as a terrible sick or dead person can complain)…
Reiner Fuelmich had a intestines thrombosis “victim” live about a year ago. She said:
“I had a short moment where I could have turned around”….
So sad. And so very evil!
Deleting, manipulating, suppressing, hiding information about that is a capital offense and I hope all of you keep records in the millions of that for a time when the tide turns…
A former software devloper is on record on the german TV:
“We are going to vaccinate 7 billion people”.
…do you hear them through your telescoped ears ?…..
“No “normie” was meant to withstand that pressure – the pressure was put in deliberately!”
Yes, this was never about a virus, but always about control.
In my country all the “normies” were told what to do by the gods of science known as SAGE*, but anyone that bothered to look noticed some odd selections as “experts”.
Why so many behavioural psychologists?
And as Mike Yeadon pointed out “I looked up the credentials of all the members. There were no clinical immunologists. No one who had a biology degree and a post-doctoral qualification in immunology. A few medics, sure. Several people from the humanities including sociologists, economists, psychologists and political theorists. No clinical immunologists. What there were in profusion — seven in total — were mathematicians.”
Still, at least we found out how convincing behavioural psychologists, paired with the media are, even when the evidence of peoples own eyes tells them it’s a lie.

Tony Fauci according to reports has never practiced medicine a day in his life. He is a government bureaucrat with evil intentions. Such as funding cruel and despicable animal experiments. Yet those who look up to government as their savior and are convinced they have nothing but good intentions for the Plebs, look up to this evil individual.
Way too many people think that it has been scientists making these pronouncements. The UK models came out first; they had practically nothing to do with the biological science.
The models did have a lot to do with profit and control though, so someone is happy.
Guess who?

I am not sure what to make of this report. It is confusing to find what references he is using. These are two quotes, but I have no idea what “Global Research” refers to:
Hey Dr Mike, are you saying economics isn’t a science? And political science, and sociology?
Outrageous!
SAGE was made up of those who could be relied upon give the required answers – just as Tony Blair went to the one international law academic in Cambridge who was likely to declare the Iraq invasion legal – a customer of mine as a matter of fact, whose lectures I attended as a student.
Indeed Xavier, SAGE(the name alone screams their arrogance), as Simon Elmer details in the articles are about as far from independent as is possible.
Agree – to acknowledge the govt would harm them on purpose would be to acknowledge rule by monsters… and madness would ensure… completely unhingement….
To a lesser degree this is why many will refuse to watch American Moon — they don’t wanna know if they are being lied to … because where do the lies stop….
Not only malevolent, but organised and co-ordinated internationally.
It’s the stuff of madness, the shatterer of all illusions….

Please leave corresponding evidence in the comments. This post could be its own book with a true deep dive. But there is significant evidence for the CZVE hypothesis as well as the possibility that marginalized groups have been euthanized to create fear—perhaps to push people into the arms of history’s largest medical experiment.
