Are we headed for very high energy prices? Or, are we headed for a financial system that starts falling apart? The whole economic system may change remarkably. For example, what many people thought was money, or a promised pension plan, may not really be there when the time comes to get value from it. Shelves in stores may be empty when it comes time to make a purchase.
Most people do not understand that the world economy is a physics-based system, powered by energy. If the energy is suddenly much less available, there will be a huge problem. The world economy has been powered by a rapidly growing supply of energy for over 200 years.
My concern is that the current attempt to bring inflation down will lead to falling energy supply and a world economy that is rapidly changing for the worse.
Everything I can see says that world leaders are not able to face the possibility that the world is already running seriously short of oil and coal. Future supplies are likely to be much lower, and much more expensive, if they are available at all. Other energy types (including natural gas, nuclear, hydroelectric, wind and solar) are simply add-ons to a system built using coal and oil.
Current world leaders do not realize that the energy situation is very much like the water level in Lake Mead. Looking at it from the top, there still seems to be water there but, in fact, the required depth is lacking. Water for watering crops will soon be exhausted. The world’s energy supply is not a whole lot different. The supposedly proven reserves do not tell us anything at all. It is the amount of fossil fuels that can be affordably extracted that is important. We have already exceeded the amount that can be affordably extracted. If central banks cut back future energy supplies using higher interest rates, we can expect to encounter major problems going forward.
In this post, I will try to explain some of the issues involved.
[1] The amount of energy the economy requires depends very much on population. The greater the world population, the more oil is needed for food production and transportation. Non-oil energy is a bit more flexible in quantity than oil, but the total quantity of energy per capita needs to keep rising to prevent very adverse outcomes.
Figure 3 highlights the fact that the period of Rapid Energy Growth between 1950 and 1980 was a period of unprecedented growth in per capita energy consumption. This was a period when many families could afford their own car for the first time. There were enough employment opportunities that, quite often, both spouses could hold down paying jobs outside the home. It was the growing supply of inexpensive fossil fuels that made these jobs available.
If a person looks closely, it is possible to see that the 1920 to 1940 period was a period of very low growth in energy consumption, relative to population. This was also the period of the Great Depression and the period leading up to World War II. Sluggish energy consumption growth at that time was linked to very undesirable socioeconomic outcomes.
Energy is like food for the economy. If energy of the right kinds is cheaply available, it is possible to build new roads, pipelines and electricity transmission lines. World trade grows. If available energy is inadequate, major wars tend to break out and standards of living are likely to fall. We now seem to be approaching a time of too little energy, relative to population.
[2] Recently published data through 2021 indicates that energy consumption growth is not keeping up with population growth, similar to the situation of the 1930s. This says that the economy is doing poorly. Supply lines are broken; most jobs don’t pay well; many goods that normally would be available aren’t available.
Figure 4 shows that the year with the highest per capita energy consumption was 2018. This agrees with other information such as automobile sales.
For example, the number of automobiles sold seems to have peaked back in the 2018 period. China and India are both reporting fewer automobile sales recently. The economy was already sliding into recession in 2019. The 2020 shutdowns hid the very poor condition the world economy was already in. If people were forced to remain in their homes, they could not take to the streets to protest their poor wages and pension plans. The shutdowns helped give the impression the world economy was doing better than it really was.
Figure 4 shows that even with the bounce back in 2021, total energy consumption per capita is still below the 2018 and 2019 values. This contrasts with the situation that occurred after the 2008-2009 Great Recession. By 2010, per capita energy consumption was back above the 2007 and 2008 values.
[3] We can look back and see how rising interest rates were used to slow the world economy in the 2004 to 2006 period, and how different the economic situation was then compared to now. Even with the rapid growth the economy was making at the time of the interest rates increases, the result was still a deep recession in 2008-2009.
It is clear from Figure 4 and Figure 6 that between 2001 and 2007, the quantity of energy consumed per capita was rising rapidly. This was the period shortly after China was added to the World Trade Organization. Manufacturing was rapidly being moved to China. China’s demand for energy products of all kinds was rising rapidly. As a result of this greater demand, oil prices were increasing between 2001 and 2007. To try to reduce inflation, the Federal Reserve raised target interest rates in the 2004 to 2006 period and gradually brought them down, starting in late 2007.
There are two things that are striking about this earlier situation:
- The world economy (as shown by rising energy supply) was growing much more rapidly during the 2001 to 2007 period than it is in 2022. All the world economy is trying to do now is get back to where it was before the 2020 shutdowns, in terms of energy consumption per capita.
- Eventually, there was a bad reaction to the higher interest rates of 2004 to 2006, but this did not come until 2008-2009. This was a much longer lag than most people would expect.
Now, in 2022, we cannot get energy consumption per capita up to the 2018 and 2019 levels. There are many unfinished automobiles, waiting for missing parts. Appliances of many kinds are not available without a long wait. Fertilizer is often not available. Broken supply lines leave many store shelves empty. It is not that demand is unusually high; it is the supply of the energy products we need to grow food and to transport many finished goods that is not available.
Raising interest rates is a way to reduce the demand for finished goods and services, such as automobiles and appliances, if the world economy is growing very rapidly, as it was back in the 2001 to 2007 period. If the problem is an inadequate supply of finished goods and services (due to broken supply lines and low wages for workers), then raising interest rates is entirely the wrong medicine. It will cause even fewer automobiles and appliances to be made. It will cause many current workers to be laid off. Such an approach, when the world is trying to deal with too few workers, will tend to make the situation worse, rather than better.
[4] The trend in fossil fuel supplies is concerning. Both oil and coal are past peak, on a per capita basis. World coal supply has been lagging population growth since at least 2011. While natural gas production is rising, the price tends to be high and the cost of transport is very high.
Most energy charts are similar to Figure 7, showing energy consumption on a total product supplied basis, without reference to the size of the population using those resources.
Figure 7 indicates that coal supplies are, in some sense, the most troubled of the three types of fossil fuels. In the 2001 to 2007 period, China was able to ramp up its manufacturing using coal, but eventually those supplies ran short. In fact, coal supplies around the world started running short. Instead of telling us about the shortfall in production, we started hearing a story that sounds a lot like The Fox and the Grapes of Aesop’s Fables: Coal is a horribly polluting fuel which we don’t really want anyhow.
To understand how these quantities correspond to the world’s rising population, it is helpful to look at consumption divided by population, shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8 shows that oil consumption per capita was relatively stable up until 2019. Then, it suddenly dropped in 2020, and it has not been able to fully recover from that drop in 2021. In fact, we know that as oil production has tried to increase in 2022, its price has risen further. Of the years shown, 2004 was the year with the highest oil consumption per capita. That was back at the time that “conventional” oil production peaked.
Figure 8 shows that the peak production of coal, relative to world population, was in the year 2011. Now, in 2022, the least expensive coal to extract has been depleted. World coal consumption has fallen far behind population growth. The big drop-off in coal availability means that countries are increasingly looking to natural gas as a flexible source of electricity generation. But natural gas has many other uses, including its use in making fertilizer and as a feedstock for many herbicides, pesticides, and insecticides. The result is that there is more demand for natural gas than can easily be supplied.
[5] Governments and academic institutions have gone out of their way to avoid telling the world how important energy of the right types and in the right quantities is to the economy.
Politicians cannot admit that the world economy cannot get along without the right quantities of energy that match the needs of today’s infrastructure. At most, a small amount of substitution is possible, if all the necessary transition steps are taken. Each transition step requires energy of various kinds. For example, a small amount of intermittent wind can be added to the fossil-fuel generated electricity supply, if care is taken to ramp up fossil-fuel generated electricity to offset the lack of wind when there is a shortfall in supply. Otherwise, battery or other storage is needed for the wind energy until the wind energy is truly needed by the system.
Thus, most people today are convinced that the economy doesn’t need energy. They believe that the world’s biggest problem is climate change. They tend to cheer when they hear that fossil fuel supplies are being shut down. Of course, without energy of the right kinds, jobs disappear. The total quantity of goods and services produced tends to fall very steeply. In this situation, there is likely not enough food for all the people in the world. War is likely to break out over limited resources.
[6] Once the economy starts heading downward, it is not clear that the economy can ever “catch itself” and start back on an upward path again, even for a short while.
Back in 2001, the World Economy was able to get a “bail out” from China’s rapid growth in coal production, but as we have seen, world coal production is no longer growing as fast as population.
Back in about 2010 and 2011, growth in US crude oil from shale formations was able to temporarily bail out world oil supply, but now this is also failing. Also, even the recent “growth” shown is to a significant extent from the completion of “drilled but uncompleted” wells started earlier. Eventually, there are no more “DUCs” to complete.
In fact, despite all of the supposed high reserves of many kinds around the world, there is little evidence that the Middle East, or anywhere else, can actually raise production much higher.
Once the economy starts shrinking, debt defaults are likely to become a big problem. Banks will find their balance sheets impaired. They may be forced to close. Citizens with deposits may find that only part of their balance is available to spend.
Government programs will necessarily be forced to cut back to match the energy supplies that are available. For example, if road paving material is not available, roads cannot be repaved. If fuel cannot be found for school buses, students may need to learn at home.
Governments at all levels have promised pension plans. In fact, many employers have promised pension plans. Without a growing supply to cheap-to-produce energy, these promises are meaningless. Somehow, governments will find it necessary to cut back on their promises. Perhaps, Social Security and Medicare programs will be handed back to US States to fund, to the extent that the states have funds for these programs. Governments around the world can expect to face similar problems.
With less energy supply available, the whole world economy that we know today seems likely to start falling apart. Fewer goods will be available through international trade. It is cheap energy that has allowed today’s economy to function. Once this cheap energy is depleted, the world economy will need to shrink back in many ways, at once.
We don’t really know precisely what lies ahead, and perhaps, this lack of knowledge is for the best. We cannot even imagine a world economy changing rapidly for the worse.

China is collapsing… how do I know? Just look at the US dollar. It’s the canary in the Global coal mine. There is a scramble for dollars to cover defaults. The disconnect in the mainstream financial media today given what I see reminds me of the summer of 2008 before the collapse. Then as now folks seem to think the worst can’t happen. We have world leaders resigning left and right. The complacency is mind boggling.

Same thing for Fauci.
In Italy we didn’t have any politician of the parlamient with adverse events or sudden deaths.
Only politicians of the low level had that.
In my view, this story is only to reinforce the current updated scripts:
1) vaccines prevent serious disease (and only rare adverse events)
2) Paxlovid may not be the best treatment, but it works against Covid-19 (and no adverse events). ”Ok, it has some problems of re-infection, but you can take it. Trust us”.

“Why The Labor Shortage Isn’t Going Away” by CHS
http://charleshughsmith.blogspot.com/2022/07/why-labor-shortage-isnt-going-away.html
“Take a glance at the chart below showing how the population of the U.S. changed between 2010 and 2020. (Chart courtesy of @Econimica). America’s population expanded by 22.5 million, but of this net increase only +1.2 million were under the age of 55; the vast majority– 21.4 million –were 55 or older. ”
This is a big part of the problem. This is happening in Europe and China too, I am sure.
Also,
“young people are awakening to the wretched reality of an economy rigged to protect insiders and enrich the already-rich. If you set out to design an economy that was optimized to protect insiders and reward the already-wealthy, you’d end up with the developed-world economy.”
Furthermore,
“The fantasy that robots will do all the work is deflating. We were promised 100% fully autonomous self-driving cars by 2018–look, no steering wheel!–and here we are.”
Whilst these general trends are true, the shortage of staff, at least here in the UK, occurred almost overnight. Pre-CV19, I don’t remember staff-wanted signs everywhere. But they are certainly there now.
Yes… but Crypto was the relief valve… if one is smart and hard working with a bit of luck — one could still get rich…
I am not convinced about CHS reasons for the shortage or workers, at least not here in the UK and unless I missed it, he does not provide much in the way of evidence to support his arguments.
For sure, leaving the EU hurt the UK bigtime, in terms of people willing to work for s*1t wages. I think lots of East Europeans, mainly from Poland (all supermarkets here have a section specially for Poles, every city has a Polish food shop or several), left when the UK went independent from the EU. For many, they had no choice but to leave. Some of our friends went back home, most did not.

Gary Curley runs the Sligachan Hotel on Skye.
In 2019 his business would have 45 to 50 staff at this time of the year, but it currently has just 33….”
I am wondering if the other main reason for the shortage is due to people either ill or having cv19. But I have seen zero evidence to support this.
I found myself standing next to a restaurant owner and his chum (a hairdresser) chatting in a shop: he said that staffing was very difficult indeed, having gone from 40% E. Europeans to only 10%.
No mention of illness as a problem, just no applicants for posts.
All the pubs and bistro pubs here seem to have ads for staff, at all levels.
This is how bad the US economy has become:

Cable TV, nada… remember when there were no commercials on cable…now can’t enjoy stations like AMC American Movie Classics that had none, went to so called intermission break and now total commercials every 5 minutes…sure Ill pay for that…pleaaase
Yes the cable first boasting no commercials, hence the reason to pay for the service, then introducing commercials, then having them all the time just like TV stations, has been a real card trick. And they expect you to keep paying for the privilege of cable!
What they started doing is putting a graphic overlay in the corner while you watched a program. This is effectively a commercial.
I have noticed they are making the graphic overlays larger and larger. I have never paid for cable.
Ditch cable.
Exactly! +++++++
“And as a reminder, the so-called strong consumer is draining savings at an almost unprecedented pace, while relying on credit cards to cover the soaring cost of living.”
“Stankey warned that he expects higher bad debt and slower payments to continue, and that while customers are eventually paying their bills, they’re “less timely.”
17% inflation is quickly “draining savings”.
debts on credit cards are quickly piling up.
“But wireless has long been considered an essential service, even for low-income Americans…”
if so, then consumers will be reducing or eliminating other services which are discretionary.
and reducing or eliminating higher level essentials, and moving towards lower level essentials.
this is all very predictable.
another year or two of 17%ish high % inflation will severely damage discretionary sectors and higher level essentials.
que sera sera.
I refilled my husband’s Tracfone over the phone (their web site rarely functions for this purpose) and noticed a new message or option having to do with “government benefits” and “government-provided” pre-paid cards.
Like with health insurance/pharma, the people who are priced out or who opt out of these “services” will end up footing the bill anyway as our tax dollars go to prop up these industries, with the .gov becoming their biggest client.
That should be a very concerning trend!

I am amused that so many people believe the PTB are intent on destroying the economy cuz…
So let me get this right – these people who fly in private jets.. eat the finest foods… drink the best of the best wines… stay in the Presidential Suites… have access to fresh hot meat (sometimes underage meat)… and so on …
Want to destroy the world cuz they want to …. control us???? They lose all the perks (cuz destroying BAU means no private jets etc…) — where’s the upside here?
Duh.
I agree that the powers that be would be harmed. But how do you account for their actions, which clearly are intentionally harming the global economic and social order? If all they need for the UEP is the jabs, then why do all the rest?
All the rest is either fake (eg Great Reset) to keep the hordes from working out that they are about to be fed into a meat grinder…. or aimed at convincing them need to get injected
Remember it’s a numbers game – the more injections the more mutations… the more VAIDS… the sooner UEP can finish up and we end this shitty nightmare situation we are living in.

Fast Eddy, come on – I thought you have a 1000 IQ?
The name of the game is resource limits. In this game of musical chairs, the oligarchs intend to remain on top and they are willing to climb on a mountain of skulls to do that.
What makes you think they would lose their privileges if half of the world dies? Even the greediest of them does not need 1 billion underage girls (or boys) – a couple hundreds are enough.
Why do you keep repeating already disproven predictions and refuse to change your mind? In that respect you are no different than Norm.
If you look at history, you can find many, many examples where the rich and powerful sacrificed millions of people for made up reasons (or no reason at all). Most of the time the rich did not lose their privileges when they did this. Did Stalin suffer because of the Holodomor?
So the root of your belief in UEP is that somehow, if parts of the world collapse then everybody dies. Doesn’t that sound ridiculous? Even if the empire collapses, there are plenty of places for the rich to survive in style – or even better they can become despots over tiny countries, wouldn’t that be something?
First thing that comes to my mind when I read this…
Clueless.
Then I thought hang on we can do better than that…

To use a cell phone, you need to have (1) cell phone (2) cell phone towers (3) cables connecting to various cities or countries (4) electrical power
Who are creating, maintaining them? The plebs and not the oligarchs.
To make sure that the cell phone towers work, you need to have the people and the equipment. The chips in the equipment can fail and just one failure may be enough to bring down the entire cell phone tower.
The chip has to be made in a fab. The fab needs rare earth and many other minor stuff.
Who is doing the mining? Who is going to plant the vegetables/wheat ?
Plebs.
I always find it interesting that people cannot connect the dots. Their idea is
1. Only X% of the population are left behind after the cull. The “X” is any number that you can put in.
2. They will have a great life enjoying the conveniences with the masses to bother them.
sigh….
no different from those who took the jab and say “it could be worse”
Good points!
CTG,
it seems you and FE overuse the argument from incredultiy.
Just because you think this way, does not mean that the oligarchs share your thinking. So maybe they BELIEVE they can enjoy life with only X% of the world left. It does not matter if it’s possible or not – if they believe it they will work toward that goal.
Unlike you and FE with your advanced intelligence and modesty, I prefer to look at history.
The world did not collapse after the great plagues – in fact the reduction in population helped trigger the renaissance.
At least you are trying to debate, unlike FE that I am sorry to say, I realize now it’s just a troll.
One interesting commonality to all the most extreme conspiracies is that people supporting them are incredibly naive about human nature.
You and FE prefer to believe that our leaders are so nice they will commit suicide and compassionately kill everyone instead of seeing us suffering. Given humanity’s bloody history and the psychopaths in charge, do you realize how stupid that is?
More Dunce Kruger happening here… aka cluelessness…
You are but an ant … attempting to challenge Giants…
Absolutely.
One of the reasons I avoid the anti-Covid organizations is because inevitably they end up being just another flavour of MOREON…. they can see that the injections are a scam… but then they’ll launch into all sorts of other BS that has been fed to them by the PR Team ….
One that some believe is that we are being chipped by the injections and 5G towers will provide the mechanism for controlling the zombie hordes (keep in mind the PR Team will be behind many of these theories… as they deflect from what’s really being done)
A bit one I hear is —- it’s a mass cull…. there’s a lot of this on the SS’s… to which I respond with — if mass cull then the supply chains collapse and we starve. Some of them understand that…most just go silent…
Then they’ll flail around a bit and grab onto some other nonsense…..
Anything but ‘we’re running out of cheap energy’ — most won’t go there… cuz they know that = death. Anything is better than death … a global Orwellian state is actually an acceptable alternative — cuz that means their kids get to live — and although it will be grim … we’ve overturned Orwellian states in the past… So they can maintain hope.
Extinction doesn’t sell particularly well. They will resist accepting that this is our fate to their very last breath.
Fast has fallen into the UEP troll trap.
I am happy that there are still some grownups here but Harry Mc Gibbs obvously has left us.
This of course is of no concern for the UEP troll.
I have to admit at being naive enough to still hope for polite debate – especially since we agree on 99% of the issues.
I know that we hit limits and the world is in the process of collapse.
I know that oligarchs are incredibly powerful.
I just disagree with FE that they are nice, loving people that are trying to spare us (and themselves) from suffering.
Apparently that tiny disagreement is enough to trigger trollish responses from Eddy instead of a debate.
BTW, I read FE’s long post that he links to sometimes. The post describes our predicament perfectly but nowhere in it he gives any support for his UEP.
So given the dire situation that he describes, can we imagine alternative “solutions”? I can, he apparently cannot. I believe the rich might be dumb but for sure they are not nice – even if the world is going to hell, I guarantee you they will kill their own families as long as they can stay alive for another minute.
Note the CEP has been changed to UEP…. but there is an element of C in what they are doing.
Consider this :
“The global economy was facing the worst collapse since the second world war as coronavirus began to strike in March, well before the height of the crisis, according to the latest Brookings-FT tracking index. “The index comes as the IMF prepares to hold virtual spring meetings this week, when it will release forecasts showing the deepest contraction for the global economy since the 1930s great depression. FT.com https://archive.ph/UUfl2
When they saw that BAU was quickly running out of road — they could have avoided being skinned alive when the global economy collapsed into darkness… by having a much simpler plan which involved abandoning the masses by swallowing Fentanyl… (Mithridates did similar when faced with capture by the Romans…to avoid torture and much suffering before being executed – he killed his harem girls wives and family).
But instead they have dedicated decades to formulating a plan that reduces ROF to a bare minimum… 8B will go to their graves with barely a whimper… I doubt there will be much in the way of murder, rape or cannibalism….
There have been many dedicated men and women who have architected UEP – they have toiled in obscurity since perhaps the 1970’s… to try to prevent the biggest massacre in the history of the world.
They will not be recognized for their great service in exterminating a vile species (that deserves ROF if you consider what we’ve done to other species)….. by the the Nobel Prize people….
So let me take this opportunity to award these anonymous faces with the Fast Eddy Peace Prize.
And let’s also take a moment to recognize the Elders —- how easy it would be for them to walk away from this mess — but nope — they are desperately still trying to get the lethal injections into more arms — including babies — imagine how hard it must be to have to watch this slaughter — having to be constantly reminded of how much worse it would be should they fail.
The kind Elders… the compassionate Elders …

(Reuters) – U.S. power and natural gas prices spiked in several regions on Thursday as homes and businesses cranked up air conditioners to keep cool as a brutal heat wave blanketed most of the country.
In Texas, power demand hit a record high for a third day in a row. In New England, power prices rose to their highest since January 2018.
Electric grid operators across the country said they have enough resources to meet demand. So far they have only taken small steps to maintain reliability, like asking utilities to postpone maintenance on power lines and generating plants.
Several utilities asked consumers to conserve energy and activated demand response programs that compensate homes and businesses to reduce usage.
The United States is expected to use record amounts of power in 2022 due mostly to rising economic and population growth in Sun Belt states like Texas.
AccuWeather forecast high temperatures in New York, the nation’s biggest city, would rise from 95 Fahrenheit (35 Celsius) on Thursday to 98 F on Sunday. That compares with a normal high of 84 F.
In New England, next-day power jumped by 29% to $258 per megawatt hour (MWh) for Thursday, its highest since January 2018. Spot gas soared over 200% to $29.35 per million British thermal unit, its highest since January 2022.
Traders said such high gas prices make it practical for some New England power generators to burn oil instead of gas, something that usually only occurs in the winter.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), which operates the grid for more than 26 million customers representing about 90% of the state’s power load, said power use hit 79,828 MW on Wednesday, its third all-time high in a row.
Real-time prices in ERCOT topped $1,000/MWh for a couple of hours on Wednesday. That compares with a five-year (2017-2021) of $56 at the widely-traded ERCOT North Hub, which includes Dallas.
One megawatt can power around 1,000 U.S. homes on a typical day, but only about 200 homes on a hot summer day.

Some surmise that the reporting is fake….said power use hit 79,828 MW on Wednesday, its third all-time high in a row. OK Boomer

We will see. If the therapeutic is Paxlovid, we will find out whether he immediately has a bounce back, as Fauci did, after the course of treatment.
Yes, you are right.
But also I would like to say that I doubt that he is vaccinated and he is being treated with that medicine.
Same thing for Fauci.
At this point of the Covid story it is also probable that they are just testimonial of the new storyline:
1) ”vaccines prevent serious disease”
and
2) ”paxlovid may not be the best medicine, but it works”

Greta Thunberg and Al Gore react as climate change bakes Europe with record heat
David Knowles·Senior Editor
Tue, July 19, 2022 at 2:32 PM
Greta Thunberg and Al Gore, two of the world’s leading voices in the fight against climate change, reacted Tuesday to the record-setting heat wave and wildfires gripping Europe.
With temperature records being smashed in parts of the United Kingdom and France, Thunberg, the Swedish environmental activist, warned that the worst is yet to come.
Like Thunberg, Gore noted that unless human beings take action to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the consequences of climate change will continue to intensify.
As of Tuesday, at least 1,346 people had died in Spain and Portugal due to the current heat wave, and experts say that figure is expected to rise over the coming days as extreme heat continues to broil places like the U.K., where air conditioning is not common.
The United States tied the record for the hottest June ever documented, and this came after spring temperature records had already fallen in numerous states and cities.
In Austin, Texas, for instance, the average combined high and low temperature for the month of May is usually 76.8 degrees Fahrenheit. This year, a new record was set with an average of 82.3°F. The misery being experienced this summer in states like Texas and cities like Phoenix is hard to quantify.
While climate change skeptics often argue that hot weather is simply what happens in summer, just as winter brings cold temperatures, data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shows that so far this year, record high temperatures have been far outpacing record lows. Since the start of the Industrial Revolution, the disparity of that ratio has widened.
climate activist Bill McKibben observed Monday that as hot as things already are, the La Niña weather pattern currently in place typically causes cooler-than-average summer weather in the western U.S., meaning other summers could soon be much hotter.
Too bad it is changing…the solution the hark about will come soon enough by rapid decline and depletion, followed by financial collapse.
Hope when that happens Al Gore and little Greta express their 😊 Happiness..sarcasm
I agree with Gail 100%…hoping it happens LATER than SOONER…The aerosol masking effect is saving our behinds and we best not stop..
https://insideclimatenews.org/news/15092021/global-warming-james-hansen-aerosols/
Please Eddie get those particles in the atmosphere…
Yes, I’m sure that AL and Greta would be the first to tell you that if you only paid more in taxes, none of this would be happening.
Yeah, and don’t forget …turn OFF the Air Conditioner in the Summer and turn down the HEAT in the Winter…
Of course, THEY need not because they have carbon offsets to keep
.them enjoying BAU!
How DARE THEY!
Feds think you should set your thermostat at 78 degrees in the summer. Ha.
Updated: Jun. 16, 2022, 7:11 a.m. | Published: Jun. 15, 2022, 10:41 a.
By Leada Gore | lgore@al.com
It feels like it’s about 1,000 degrees outside so you head indoors to enjoy the nice cool, air conditioned surroundings.
But is 78 degrees really “cool?”
That’s what the U.S. Department of Energy thinks, at least according to its Energy Star savings program. The department recommends keeping your air conditioner at 78° F most of the time, moving it up at least 7° F if you’re out during the day, before dropping back to 78° F in the evening when you return. Before bed, the agency recommends moving it to 82° F.
The reason for those seemingly hot temps is cost savings. Each degree set above 72 can save up to 3% on cooling bills, the department noted.
“Set your thermostat as high as comfortably possible in the summer,” DOE says on its website. “The smaller the difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures, the lower your overall cooling bill will be.”
Gee, I did not know that ….
Oh jeez… I almost let the fire go out … let me add another sack of coal … I’ll brb.
The Atlanta area is not participating in the hot weather elsewhere today. The high temperature today is only 81 F (or 27 C). We have been going through a rainy period.
Conversely if CNN wanted to prove that we are about to collapse because of abnormally cold weather … they could simply focus on places that are experiencing cold snaps ….
e.g. Cold snap hits Australia, Victoria and Tasmania issued frost threat, coldest morning in years
https://www.news.com.au/technology/environment/cold-snap-hits-australia-victoria-and-tasmania-issued-frost-threat-coldest-morning-in-years/news-story/c2c2a315e3886f7aff1f514c3e86e394
Odd that they don’t make the same connection as when it’s hot. Duh.
https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/cnn-director-on-the-pivot-to-climate
The only adage – you can’t cure stoopidity — applies here
Like Thunberg, Gore noted that unless human beings take action to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions
I guess they don’t understand that doing this would result in Global Holodomor… I am actually all for that cuz then our earth paving would end

I have a friend in chronic pain. He has recently started using Kratom as a alternative to narcotics. Reddit is a mixed bag. Kratom saved my life. Kratom ruined my life. Just thought it interesting.
It appears it works to stop pain but has less addiction potential than narcotics. It also appears that its use is not without risks. Caution indicated.

Just like they, the Russians, said it would.
Mission Accomplished. Europe is now prepped for what’s coming.
When we get to the nitty gritty … and the food vans are coming tomorrow — but the gas is now rationed or cut off.. stay home under a blanket — the gas will be turned back on… just like we turned it back on in July …. oh ya … we trust you … any day now the gas will be turned back on…
Cold hungry miserable hordes… surrounded by soldiers with shoot to kill order… don’t ROF>>>>
Over at the shameless Russian advocate site The sakker the new interview with Putin is posted and he discusses some of the technical issues with delivering gas. It appears CTGs earlier comment was correct they genuinely need that turbine thats in Canada to deliver gas. Not only that but they are going to need other turbines repaired in the immediate future if gas deliver in nord 1 is to continue. Putin also discussed that production of gas and where it is allocated doesnt turn on a dime and they are going to have to make decisions about where the gas they had allocated for nord one is going to go and future production if the process of repairing turbines does not occur. He mentioned they dont just slap these things in they have to be evaluated and tested for function and safety first. He also discussed some interesting things regarding Poland and Ukraines boycott of Russian gas. They can buy it much cheaper from Germany than Russia. Germany apparently has long term contracts locked in at very low rates that Ukraine and Poland dont have.. Russia is willing to honor those rates even knowing that a substantial portion gets resold to Poland and Ukraine but they need that turbine and to rotate others (no pun intended) out for repair.
Over at the shameless Russian advocate site
We also have plenty and plenty of Western advocate sites…..

Extinction is a fantastic solution!

Perhaps with phone, fuel allocation can be done a little more fairly than otherwise.
One issue is who should be eligible. Should people in old people’s homes be eligible? People who don’t own cars be eligible?
Should farmers get more? How much more?
Sorry Gail, if you consider a digital rationing app a solution, we are in deep deep doodoo.
The problem is that the people do not know the reaon for their misery and thus do not come together to implement other solutions to thier problems, like breeding horses etc.
It is a bit late to the show, but going on in the old normal and accepting a digital prison is something we must avoid at all costs!
High interest rates are a way to slow the world economies; slow economic growth less oil and coal…trying to buy more time
If slower growth will prevent crashing the world economy, perhaps higher interest rates can be helpful.
The questions are: How high can interest rates be raised before the world economy crashes? Can some of the world economy continue, while other parts of the world economy continues? For how long?
Goldilocks is so stressed about this she’s taking Xanax
yes – they need to buy a bit more time to allow for UEP to complete…. they have already signed the death warrant of BAU by not fertilizing the crops….
So there’s not a whole lot of time remaining … Q4?

Zerohedge reports:

Oil Tumbles As Demand Falters, Supply Fears Ease
I believe that this is what I think of as Monthly Gasoline Demand in the US. We are given estimates of weekly gasoline demand, as well as weekly demand for other products, such as diesel. These estimates are often quite inaccurate. This seems to be part of what has happened here.
There are many other issues.. One is the EU raising interest rates by 0.5%, lowering their demand. Also, with Nord Stream 1 now seeming to be Ok, there is less likelihood of pressure to burn oil because no natural gas or coal is available.
Interesting in town today, quite a few people people with nasty-sounding coughs, definitely not hayfever.

At the museum, a female custodian wearing a (non-compulsory) heavy black mask was slumped in her chair barely awake, looking a very odd colour and unhealthy about the eyes. Case of slow suffocation?
Let’s see how it develops….
The Sickness … is spreading
Imperialism would have denied countries not well known for maintaining their infrastructure from profitting on resources which just happened to be in their territories.
Denying the denizens of territories not well known for their infrastructure is the first step for the advancement of civilization, since it is more efficient and more beneficial to concentrate resources on those who are most likely to advance it
Keeping the natives at 1930s lifestyle and advancing the wealth of the countries better known for their infrastructure would have led to a higher state of being now.
But governments back them thought about shorter term benefits and treated the others too well, and the others are now striking back hard which is why we have this crisis.
Isn’t the percentage growth likeliest to be highest where the infrastructure starts out worst, especially if today’s infrastructure is added?
I think of China. Back when it joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, its infrastructure was not well developed. As it added coal and other fossil fuels, it has been able to grow rapidly.
The wisdom of giving the Shah of Persia and the Ruler of Saudi Arabia giving so much power is backfiring now. Both dynasties started in the 20th century, and were rather powerless against western domination.
The policy makers at that time failed to destroy these sheiks, or at least marginalize them to irrelevance, and made them rich and powerful.
=
Now, both the Mullahs of Iran (who replaced the Shah in 1980) and the ruler of Saudi Arabia are less than enthusiastic about maintaining order in the West, preferring to profit themselves now.
Again the lack of long term planning in USA during the earlier days is hurting Civilization. Instead of driving these countries dry, giving the Sheiks and Shahs just enough to oppress their own citizens and not allowing huge powers, and not giving them to control oil production and costs would have given a big dividend.
If there is a historian after all is over, they will regret NOT being too harsh against these kind of figures. “International Cooperation” is a bullshit word; Chinese Empire did NOT co-operate with anyone. Everyone was China’s vassal, an attitude which still remains as shown in countries which accepted Chinese aid and later had a good taste of Chinese imperialism.
https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/nasas-webb-telescope-suffers-significant-uncorrectable-damage-after-micro-meteoroid-hit
“NASA revealed a micrometeoroid caused “significant uncorrectable damage” to JWST’s mirror segment known as C3, one of the 18 beryllium-gold tiles that make up the telescope’s 6.5-meter wide primary reflector, in late May.”
Mm, ‘kay.
I guess “we” didn’t like what the telescope observed. No?
Lemme guess: The “background” is an endless stretch of galaxies, clusters and superclusters. Forever and ever…
Kiss Big Bang and “modern” cosmology farewell.
🤣👍👍
Here is good advice for you all. Do not put your expensive toys where micrometeorites can wreck them. Funny though that other telescopes (say, Hubble) have been up there for decades, no impacts, this one published stunning (STUNNING!) pictures just last week for the first time, which made the rounds in academia, and now it’s wrecked.
I have to wonder if they can somehow remove that segment, because even with a hole it can reflect, and if the stepper motors controlling it do not function anymore, it is going to look at a different picture compared to the other segments, and mess up everything.
Hubble is in a protective metal tube. Webb is out in the open. They thought the density of micro particles would be lower. Oooppss.
a micrometeorite will easily go through a metal pipe. The International space station needs to fix a leak every now and again. They travel at relative speeds of 30 to 100 km per sec. some 60 to 200 times faster than a bullet.
has anyone on the ISS ever been hit?
I doubt they didn’t bother to measure the micrometeorite density with some cheap rear end plastics and counting the holes after a month or two?
Nah; they didn’t like what it observed.
Big Bang is dead.
Long live Big Bang.
Hubble may not even exist… recall how the NASA engineer says the VA Belts fry sensitive gear?
when a MOREON means “past” but spells it “passed”.
Also most of the early pics were about fine details of nebulae in our own galaxy. Run of the mill astronomy really, nothing in the cosmology field. Sometimes a meteorite is just a meteorite, though I noted how unlucky this telescope seems to have been.
One wonders why the Hubble scope mirrors or lenses or whatever it is that are exposed to endless showers of micro meteors — don’t get smashed.
Oh right Hubble is bullshit – it is not possible for any high tech gear to survive outside of Earth orbit – max 250 miles…
Silly me
And the photos — artists renderings…
If the telescope could observe an infinite amount of stars wouldn’t the sky be white at night?
If “Joe Biden” gets out, Kamala Harris (and her handlers, most likely those who supported Obama) would be starting wars since she is not going to have any power and will do whatever her handlers will say.

Dont matter. Most people regard the “far right” label like the poison skull and crossbones label now. They wont touch it. With good reason. We have clear demonstrations that the “far right” label can be applied to everything from antelopes to zebras. If you touch it it could apply to YOU. But its not just that…
We have been trained well. Extremely well. There is some inconvenient facts out there. Facts that raise questions. Those questions are uncomfortable. Its not just a warning label -taboo material. There is a understanding that certain questions lead to a dissolving of the framework of our perception of reality. There is a great deal of fear for most people regarding that. Its not just a arbitrary “dont go there” label. People see it as a legitimate warning. Regardless of the material it will lead to a dissolving of our framework of our perception of reality. We have been trained to have fear regarding that. We believe it. The warning label is legitimate, the CONTENT of the information is irrelevant, the warning label is in reference to the EFFECTS of the information. WARNING DISSOLVING SOLUTION like “the dip” in rodger rabbit. People our scared of having their framework of perception dissolved. They stay far away from anything with the warning label. They stick with things that are “certified non dissolving”. They do amazing things to stick with “certified non dissolving”. THats why our training- no matter how you regard it- is simply amazing.
Hunter Biden message:
“You’re right Hallie and I find myself… very alone in dealing with rebuilding an income that can support an enormous alimony and my kids costs and myself, dealing with the aftermath of the abduction and likely assassination (that’s what NYT’s suspects) of my business partner the richest man in the world, the arrest and conviction of my client the chief of intelligence of the people’s republic of China by the US government, the retaliation of the Chinese in the ouster and arrest of US suspected CIA operatives inside China, my suspected involvement in brokering a deal with Vladimir Putin directly for the largest sale of oil gas assets inside Russia to China, a tax bill that Eric left hanging over my business and… And Dads running for president.”
Everyone knew Hunter had extremely large foreign interests(china), had substance issues, and payed for prostitutes. I first heard about it on the mouthpiece of the regime NPR about a year before it became clear that Biden Harris were the selection of the smoky back room “nomination process”. Before NPR got their cue they were saying hey hunter bad news he makes Trump look like a school boy, he compromises Biden no way. Then they shut up once they got their cue. Hunters laptop was a martian plant. Oh a Russian plant im sorry. THey freakin impeached Trump for saying he withheld aid from Ukraine but crickets chirp when biden is on tape withholding aid to Ukraine in order to get the Ukrainian prosecutor looking into Burisma and hunter filed as vice president.. Then BRAGGED ABOUT IT ON A TALK SHOW. Talk about cut and dry. Was dirty. Is dirty. And everyone knew
Everyone knew. Everyone. And now. It looks like they might flip the martian plant, conspiracy theorist, far right label designator from on to off leaving us with the manure pile directly caused by their putting their politics ahead of their responsibility as supposed journalists. Who has credibility? The journalists? The clot shot administrators? Im supposed to trust these institutions now? Im supposed to trust the new “selection”? This isnt about the red clown vs blue clown war except that is how these institutions were apparently motivated to forsake their duties. My problem is i believe that justice should be blind. I believe in accountability. I dont care who is who in the red clown blue clown war. Yet these people seem to believe in the red clown blue clown war. GO RED CLOWNS. GO BLUE CLOWNS. MANURE PILE YAY! HIP HIP HURRAY!
What sort of barrel of monkeys gets rolled out of the swamp down I95 next? Can Australia really be that far off? Can Canada really be that far off?
Here is president Joe Biden bragging about getting the honest prosecutor investigating Burisma and Hunter fired by withholding a loan. On video in public. Its short a minute or so.
The tapes of him blackmailing Poroshenko are not hard to find.
The video inquiry alleging treason by Poroshenko in the Ukraine over the incident are not hard to find. Honest Ukrainians were not real happy that their president fired a honest prosecutor because a foreign powers corrupt president was protecting his graft operation in their country.
This was when he was vice president. way way way before “nomination”. Everyone knew he is dirty. Everyone. But the blue clown red clown war is more important. There was no noise from either red clown team or blue clown team. He was selected knowing he was dirty. Because he was dirty. A natural for swamp manure pile burrowing.

Indirectly provides some reasons why Vitamin D is helpful.
One section of link:
Expanding treatment options with high-mobility group box 1 proteins (HMGB1)
HMGB1 was first proposed as a therapeutic target for covid in May 2020 and targeted treatments may reduce the risk of severe disease. There is a wide literature of potential HMGB1 inhibitors that might be explored for the treatment of severe covid, long covid and vaccine-related side effects including: dexamethasone, budesonide and salbutamol, vitamin D, hydroxychloroquine as well as ginseng. We would therefore encourage greater focus on HMGB1 to advance approaches to treat severe covid and vaccine-related side effects.
“Perhaps the most insane thing about this tragi-comedy though, is that millions of people still believe that swapping a Sunak, Mordaunt, or Truss for Boris Johnson, or swapping a neoliberal Labour government for a neoliberal Tory one is going to make a blind bit of difference. Involuntary as the process will likely turn out to be, the growing energy crisis means that a decade from now central government will have been forced to shrink back to something equivalent to its nineteenth century size, with the most important day-today decisions having to be taken by local councils as the largest governing units our declining surplus energy can sustain.” ?

The same phenomenon of believing that a new leader will solve most problems seems to occur everywhere.
This article has a link to a video by Martin Lewis, a well known financial adviser in the UK. Martin’s outlook for 1 st October is somewhere between bleak and apocalyptic. As mentioned before, the utility companies in the UK have a cap on how much they can raise prices, and the cap raised 54% mid-April. So everyone’s quarterly gas / electricity bills would have risen by just over 50%. The cap rises again 1st October, and Martin says currently the next price rise looks like it will be 65% minimum. Our last bill was painful, but we could afford it. Many cannot. Another 65% higher? Looks like a lot more people will be either starving or freezing to death in the UK this winter.
The video is only 10 min long, worth watching the whole lot.
Martin Lewis issues stark warning to Tory leadership candidates to act over ‘financial time bomb’

“Every member state should reduce the use of gas … We are asking the member states to reduce by 15% the gas consumption.”

According to Marion King Hubbert the world only had about 2 trillion barrels give or take 10% underestimation or overestimation of cumulative production or whats known as cheap easy oil when it was all gone we would then enter a nightmare scenario probably best known as mad max world i believe there are 3 possible outcomes number one is the elders have a plan which can best be summed up as technology and depopulation will save the day.Number two is the elders have a plan which can best be summed up as technology will save the day without depopulation.Number three is there are no elders and there is no plan to save the day. At the end of the day with number one we may have a chance to avoid mad max world with number two or three mad max world is the end result.My gut instinct is telling me that number two has been chosen so mad max is coming thats what i believe what say you.
I don’t see that at all. I think there is strong evidence that depopulation is in the blueprints. It’s just that biotech does not work and will not work. from now on plan A uses more traditional methods. UEP should be renamed UEH (holomodor).
I am reluctant to include Holodomor in the UEP … the photos of the body parts on offer would freak people out … making it a tough sale
I wonder how much they charged for those parts — I bet they got a big premium for baby meat… they probably sold the entire carcass… I could nicely fit a baby of up to maybe a year into the cooker of my Rayburn…
A bit like suckling pig….
We understand. You need to protect your brand.
Yes I am in negotiations to turn this into a Major Motion Picture… Fast Eddy will be promoting it on a whirl wind global tours… called ‘The I Was Right Tour’
There will be a brief period before the spent fuel ponds go critical to complete the tour….
It will literally coat you an arm or a leg
I’m inclined to agree. That there is no plan at all is inconceivable, and the level of global co-ordination required is not impossible, as the last two years have demonstrated.
A de-population plan, long considered and refined, is a cert, as tech innovation alone can’t work miracles in the face of the energy and resources crisis; but bio-tech can really only deliver slow-motion reduction – anything faster – ie higher than the present 1 in 2000 deaths – and it becomes very obvious murder by poisoning.
They seem to be gearing up now for rather simpler and more brutal methods comparable to the 1930’s and 40’s in the Russian and German empires: reduction by hunger and cold.
However, that still might just be only a transition phase, intended to leave the remaining- still huge – population reeling in a state of vulnerable shock, traumatised and willing to accept anything.
That’s when they will really get to work…..
However, given the colossal scale of this operation, its staggering scope, the inherent weaknesses in all modelling, it could at any time tip out of control, resulting in ‘Mad Max’ despite their best efforts.
Given people lose their minds if the pizza man is late… they’d go completely insane when faced with a Mad Max scenario — imagine if this second the power went down perman
I don’t think it will come to Mad Max because before that happens we will have Soylent Green pizza, “It’s peopleroni!”
Once of friend pointed out…seems we always take the easiest way out. In this case, flying nukes at one another seems how we end it all as Admiral Rickover suggested in a TV interview. After all, we invested heavily in these and can’t resist getting our monies worth
My gut tells me too it will be a fast crash. I think I base it on how I feel about human nature as manifested by our fellow citizens. Remember how antifa types acted when they broke windows seemingly for the fun of it without regard to whether the shop windows they were breaking were actually for a POC. People get caught up in the thrill of destruction, of having control for once in their lives.
People also feel wronged by what they think is an unjust society, and think bringing it down will help. I personally know people like that. Some of them think the the government is holding things back and when gone will release “the people” to a new cooperative arrangement without armies, police etc. Delusions abound!
I think the western US is going to BURN as there are also a lot of people that think if they can’t have a decent life, then no one will. And as Antifa were rumored to have done in Oregon (start fires along the highway after protest events), I would expect more of the same.
It was this kind of thinking that made me give up on prepping 12 years ago and sell the farm and move to Hawaii. And I don’t regret that decision one bit. If anything people are worse now than 12 years ago, much worse..
“If anything people are worse now than 12 years ago, much worse..”
Antisocial media and the spoils of IC surely lured out a primates egotistical fantasies big time. Slap depletion predicaments on top of that hot mess and we’re in for a rough nosedive down the Seneca.
But don’t get me wrong; within its temptation is the truth of a species – Maximizing a primates civilizational pathology originating from archaic wants and desires intertwined with depletion is all good. Monkey business good. ☯️
Amor Fati.
The eternal recurrence.
It’s all good until starvation and violence ensues.
I bet Nietzsche didn’t ponder upon finite world issues crafting the Übermensch. Just didn’t see that one coming.
The mic goes to Mirror.

You’ve nailed it.
And the good thing about Hawaii (correct me if I am wrong) is that is has some of the most stable weather on the planet… you never hear about ‘Hawaii is boiling hot’…
Hawaii is a good place because it is not affected by our burning of lots and lots of coal…. anyone who is concerned about ___ ____ing… should just move to Hawaii!
Seriously though – is it a nice place to live — I spent a couple of days there in the early 90’s.. was on a flight through to HK and took a stop — didn’t get to do much … I was staying at a backpackers and a really fit Aussie chick says hey Canadian you wanna go to the beach — I do I says — and we get there and … she takes her top off —OMG this is f789ing heaven!!!
I also remember lots of pineapple plantations on the drive to the beach

Hey does anyone thing there some sort of conspiracy here to hide this increasingly alarming data that shows the vaccines are lethal?
Alberta had been attempting to show real world effectiveness on its website. Unfortunately, this data strongly suggests that the vaccines have negative effectiveness. To hide this problem, the Province of Alberta is switching the data it is showing. It only shows (old) peer reviewed studies which purport to show the effectiveness of the vaccine.

Joe Biden says he has cancer in awkward speech slip up

He’s trying to play the pity card now
Sympathy? Wouldn’t there be general rejoicing?!
Video is not available here. I didn’t really see this in the write-up. I can imagine that Biden meant some sort of non-melanoma skin cancer.
Yesterday I posted a link to the story from ZeroHedge:
“Perhaps Biden’s gaffes (or accidental truth-telling) should be of greater concern as well – as the 79-year-old president said on Wednesday that he has cancer because his mother used windshield wipers to remove oil from their car’s windshield.”
Biden says that his mother using windshield wipers to “get literally the oil slick off the window” is “why I and so damn many other people have cancer.” pic.twitter.com/YIoBlZadRJ

Sorry, I often read the comments out of order, so I miss important earlier comments.
Biden’s statement seems very strange, even if he had left out the reference to himself having cancer.
“Biden’s statement seems very strange”
That’s why it is being said that he is in the mid to later stages of Dementia. Supposedly his wife, Dr. Jill is giving him pills so he can function in public. That is what Tucker Carlson is claiming.
Just looking at the man with the thousand mile stare into nowhere indicates he has Dementia. When my Mom had that in the later stages, that’s what she would do.
His Doctor has said that Joe Biden is not fit to be President, that he no longer has the mental capacity to function as President, which caused Barak Obama to quickly and strongly rebuke him.
Puppeteer Obama is surely going to defend his Puppet, at least for a while longer.
his next Puppet Kameinlast Horris is waiting.
Brain tumour probly…
He told me something I wish to share and for sure cannot name names or the hospitals. He asked the attending doctors in the ER as they knew each other somewhat, and he felt they would tell him the truth for he knew it was linked. He asked if they thought the clots are due to the vaccine. He said in unison, two of them said ‘no’. ‘No way’, they said. Then he said a female doctor at the ER for that shift, knew him and was privy to what had happened and came over and whispered in his ear ‘yes, due to the vaccine, and they are seeing many’. He said the way she had to come to him and tell him chilled him. And she hurried away.

yes, the soviet experience without the booming economic growth, the attendant population increase, and the opportunities for serf descendants. In fact these people are making serfs.

The danger of skipping your Covid booster is rising—and more than 100 million Americans are at risk
Trust us, we wouldn’t lie:
Is there any downside to getting a booster?
After a booster shot, you can expect common symptoms like arm soreness at the injection site, muscle aches and fatigue, says Dieckhaus. Serious adverse effects are extremely uncommon, he adds.
Myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle, sometimes occurs in young men after a Covid mRNA vaccine — but you’re actually more likely to develop the condition by catching Covid than getting vaccinated against it, according to the CDC. Kedl says that if you didn’t experience symptoms after your primary series, you probably won’t from your booster, either.
The good far outweighs the bad, Kedl says. If you’re worried about side effects — or simply experiencing vaccine fatigue — he recommends thinking about how the vaccines have already moved most Americans from panic mode to some level of normalcy.
“It’s good to remember that it’s really the vaccine side of things that have kept us able to operate normally in society,” Kedl says, “It’s made that safe, and continues to make that safe on an ongoing basis.”

I guess they are not aware of the study out of Israel that indicates risk of myo from covid are virtually zero.
I spoke to a doctor at the Wellington protests and he told me heart damage from viruses is extremely rare.
I guess the CDC is not aware of this
Malta has the highest vaccination coverage in the EU, and the highest COVID death rate.

Robert Firth was well out of that Nightmare Island: although it might be vaccination side-effects that got him, of course.

Countries that have not burned coal have almost no cancer. Countries that have burned coal will pay for it for thousands of years to come as the Radioactive Particulate is in the soil. From the soil it gets into your food and dust that you breath in as well as liquids that you drink. “ ?

Our house is two floors — and the pipe from the Rayburn sticks out above the roof — so all of the smoke disperses to the neighbours houses… They don’t notice it or complain because it’s diluted by clean area but it’s definitely accumulating in their soil….
Kinda like how the spent fuel ponds will send stuff far and wide for a very long time for decades post BAU…
Spent fuel ponds are kinda like massive coal powered plants — except that the shit that they spew is far far far more deadly than a bit of coal smoke…. and they take centuries to degrade…
So they just keep on spewing and spreading and getting in the water and soil and food … and voila … Mega Cancer.
