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.

Excellent article as always Gail. I agree with you about interest rates. The debt load debt interest needed to deal with inflation would take a huge cut in all tax revenue?

Hey norm – yesterday we read about a 2 month year old dying an hour after the jab – heart attack.
Why do you think that baby needed to be injected?
Is it because you want them to be sacrificed on the Covidian Alter because you believe they can infect you?
Why norm?
Not responding to this clearly indicates you agree with it.
But you know providing your actual reason would immediately add scum of the earth to your already pathetic reputation on OFW.
You are a vile creature …
The whole thing is indefensible. Of course unless a person loves to carry the governments water. Rule of thumb is as a person becomes a senior they tend to believe and trust government.

Most of the other options were around 40 bucks a kg… they had some fish that I have never seen before for 20… I asked the guy what it was and he said it’s from the carp family – they are raised by Chinese people in their backyard and fed sewage and human body parts (from all those culled dead Chinese no doubt)…. don’t buy that he said – ‘that’s for the proles’
Yes, Notice fresh produce veggie and fruits are doubling in price here in South Florida..
This is only the start….people in the store are complaining ….

Just recently I decided to replace the lead acid batteries on my system, they were still working fine but not being sure of the near future I didn’t want to be caught out needing new ones and there being none. The batteries have worked with out a hitch for 17 years and probably had a couple more in them.
WOW! Thats the best I ever heard. Previous to this best i ever heard was 14 years on a remote cabin seldom used.
Could you give us some more information on system loads and batteries?
Generally my experience with a normal household- washing machine- fridge- well pump- a decent 2 K watt array and eight utility grade L16s will last about six years. The high grade batteries like rolls 6500 are much better but cost much more. Its not uncommon for the first set of batteries to last much less as people dont consider their batteries at first when consuming power. To get to eight years requires really babying the batteries running gen set for power on cloudy days IMO. I d really like to hear the specifics of what created this performance. If the batteries were backup that whole time Id like to know what charge settings were because I would consider 17 years longevity a fantastic performance for lead acid batteries even if not used. The 14 year person lived in Canada. It appears that cold storage helps battery life in a backup capacity. Do you live in a cold place?

WHO calls on countries to bring back mask rules as Covid ‘runs free’

YES! and more lockdowns please
“Fresh surges of Covid infections show the pandemic is nowhere near over, the World Health Organisation’s chief has said, warning the virus is running free.”
It’s clear that this is happening because there just isn’t enough mask wearing worldwide. Never mind cutting-edge experimental gene therapy injections – the solution to the COVID-19 scamdemic is to get more people to strap thin fabric over their mouths.
Billions of dollars in mask sales for 3M which they’re all invested in. Gotta keep that gravy flowing.
Henry Kissinger says WW3 will begin by mid-August
US, allies teetering on brink of military confrontation with Moscow, says diplomat
MOSCOW, July 12. /TASS/. The United States and its allies are teetering on the brink of an open military conflict with Moscow, which would be fraught with nuclear tensions, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement on Tuesday.
“After provoking an escalation of the Ukrainian crisis and unleashing a violent hybrid confrontation with Russia, Washington and its allies are dangerously teetering on the brink of an open military confrontation with our country, which means a direct armed conflict between nuclear powers. Clearly, such a confrontation would be fraught with nuclear escalation,” the statement reads.

Thanks! I can see how what Henry Kissinger says can be interpreted as an escalation [2:00] of the current Ukraine conflict, “no later than August.” Earlier, about [1:40], he talks about an upcoming battle which we cannot afford to lose.
Escalate in August — fire the nukes in September… good idea – best to end this before winter — otherwise lots of folks suffer and free
or figure out the fuel tank is empty.
Kissinger was quoted as saying: “Round and round, attack, attack, like angry ants, mad with the smell of gasoline. In the tanker, that’s where they keep it. Thousands of gallons, much as you want. lf anyone’s gonna get in there, it’s gonna be you.” to a group of senior NATO advisors
Hmm… may be he was trying to take a leaf out of Barbara Tuchman’s famous tome published exactly half a century ago – The Guns of August. That might explain the reference to WWI.
If Nato has agreed something with China, India or even with Iran, plotting behind Russia, it could be winning.
If so, for us it is also assured experimental jab treatments, QR, remote controls for a long time.
On the contrary, if China, India, Iran will not sit on the fence, this battle could be catastrophic.
It also depends which side will Turkey be on.
In any case it is an unpleasant situation for everyone.
Who can be safe?

Maybe neither them.

As the paper says, “We are the science experiment. Are you ok with that?”
Injecting people with harmful things is problematic.
I’m fine with being in the control group.
norm is keen to volunteer for the experiment
At Norm’s age, it may actually make sense to volunteer for the experiment. Risks are very different for people over age 85.
Even most old goats survive covid — unless norm has all sorts of other diseases (I’m not talking about the stuff he contracts from SS Sindy…) then he is at very low risk from covid.
One could excuse him for being ignorant of that and shooting up the first time…
But now we know that most of the people in hospital and dying are multi-jabbed…. so only a fool would continue to inject.
The experiment has failed norm — did you not get the memo?

Clown World… extra insane
The White House has put out a warning for BA.5 and wants all Americans to get boosted. Get boosted with the same crap that didn’t work the 4th and 5th time. As comedian Ron White used to say: “You can try but you can’t fix stupid”.
Plus,the whole “selling point” of the mRNA “platform”, as it were, was that is was supposed to enable quick updating. So how come that’s not happening?
Not that you’d want to inject yourself with it either way, it’s just funny how they don’t even care about keeping their story straight.
I remember that selling point, how they made it in a few hours, but now they don’t update it. Best answer I could find was that it’s patented intellectual property and if they change the formula they have to re-patent it and that takes a long time. That sounds plausible but I wonder what’s preventing one company from making a new & improved version to sell more boosters unless there’s also issues with liability. Then I start to wonder if maybe these jabs don’t have anything to do with c19 and they’re working perfectly as designed so no reason to change them.
Sinking into the depths of depravity….
Now, the company is now shuttering 16 locations in major cities over incidents related to drug use and ‘other disruptions’ in its cafes, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The company on Monday announced that it would be permanently closing six stores each in Seattle and Los Angeles, as well as two in Portland, OR, and single locations in Philadelphia and Washington DC by the end of the month.
The move comes after workers reported incidents involving drug use by customers and members of the public – which, logically, comes after the company’s 2018 virtue signaling campaign which eventually included the installation of needle deposit boxes at various locations after employees signed a petition demanding the company do more to protect them.
Last month, Schultz told the NYTimes that increasing threats to public safety and an expanding mental health crisis have made it challenging for employees to manage stores under open bathroom policies. He said the decision was an “issue of just safety.”
“We have to harden our stores and provide safety for our people,” the CEO of America’s largest coffee chain said. “I don’t know if we can keep our bathrooms open.”

Total production for OPEC for the 2nd quarter 2022 is 28.624 million barrels per day. This compares to 28.358 million barrels per day for the 1st quarter of 2022, an increase of 266,000 barrels per day. This is not very much, compared to increases in previous quarters.
Also, on a quarterly basis, Saudi Arabia amounted to more than the entire increase. Saudi Arabia reported producing 10.484 million barrels per day in the 2nd quarter, versus 10.164 barrels per day in the first quarter of 2022, an increase of 320,000 million barrels a day.
Last evening, Happy Motorist posted a comment, alleging that Saudi Arabia is buying large quantities of Russian oil, with Egypt as an intermediary.
https://ourfiniteworld.com/2022/07/05/why-raising-interest-rates-to-reduce-inflation-may-work-out-very-badly/comment-page-7/#comment-376850
The translation from the Greek seems to say, “Total power generation and shipping fuel deliveries to the kingdom are expected to reach around 9 million barrels in June, the highest since November 2020, according to industry and Vortexa data.”
Nine million barrels in June is equivalent to 300,000 barrels per day, for 30 days. A person starts to wonder: Is Saudi Arabia’s recent increase in production truly real, or does it include the 300,000 barrels per day that was purchased from Russia, assuming the story is true.
The increase in OPEC’s oil production seems to be going very slowly, even with whatever padding is going on from Russia.
Very interesting Gail, especially in light of the repeated claims (e.g. Porkin’s Policy Review interviewing Yemen specialist, mid 2018 I believe) that Saudi Arabia has been laundering large amounts of Iranian oil via Yemeni intermediaries to cover their decline, and this is widely known about in Aden and Sana’a.
If true, as I believe it is, Saudi Arabia is in decline and it’s covering it up via such laundered purchases and tactical straight reserve draws-downs when Iran, and now possibly Russia, cannot provide enough to meet their demand.
Does anyone have insight on how they would blend these crudes to pass them off as Saudi Arabian? Or would they likely be doing this for refined products only, like deisel?
I hadn’t heard about the purchases from Iran. Do you have any links relating to this?
I am sure all of this is very confidential. Apparently Saudi Arabia has a lot of tank farms, both at home and elsewhere, to store oil that has not yet been sold. They also own ships that can hold excess oil that has not been sold.
I suppose with some planning, it might even be possible to mix types of crude oil, to provide a type that could pass for a particular type, such as “Arab Medium.”
Isa Blumi writes about it, but search engines aren’t bringing this material up like they used to even in 2018.it was discussed in detail. Also in a Russian publication of news on the war in Yemen, but it will take me time to find.
This is a link to the first of a 2 part interview Porkin’s did with Isa. They are 2 hours each and in one of them he discusses the oil in Yemen for about 40 minutes from memory. I don’t have time to re-listen, but he briefly touches on it at the end of one of the parts, perhaps someone could find the timestamp while I look for his articles on the weekend.

You probably already know this, however.
In 2016, during the height of the shale oil mess, the Saudis publicly stated that they planned to trade its oil economy for something else in 15-years. I took it like the quote from the “Godfather Part II” movie, where Michael tells Kay that “the family” will be legit in 15-years. “Good luck with that,” I thought.
In 2019, the Saudis told Wall Street how they were going to have their oil operations audited for the first time ever, in preparations for a sale. That never happened. Wall Street speculated that the audit (if it ever took place), would have revealed how Saudi Arabia was running out of oil.
Now the latest news about Saudi Arabia importing Russian oil. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Saudis were augmenting their declining and diminishing oil capacity with sanctioned Russian oil. Sanctioned Russian Oil.
With Biden on his way to the Middle East to beg the Saudis to increase their supply of oil to the United States (and the West), what if Saudis agree, but the oil is Russian oil? What if, to augment their supply of oil, the United States violates its own sanctions to get it?
Wouldn’t that be like negotiating a trade deal with Hitler, and then Hitler sticking it to you?
I am guessing that when Saudi Arabia said it was going to move away from oil in 15 years, it could see the handwriting on the wall that it needed to move away from oil in five to ten years, because depletion was a big problem. Of course, it couldn’t say this; it had to give a number of years to move away that might sound sort of do-able.
the sad sick joke about ‘moving away from oil’ is that all the ‘moves’ require moving into projects and activities that themselves require cheap surplus energy in order to be sustainable.
And that can only derive from fossil fuels
The Saudi ‘lifestyle’ requires excess to extremes. Other nations have the same problem.
This cannot be, and the Saudis (et al) are not going to be very pleased about it
“The Saudi ‘lifestyle’ requires excess to extremes.” The only way extreme lifestyles are possible is with extremely cheap energy.
that was exactly the point i was making
this the extreme danger we face–that people will not accept that ‘cheap energy’ is no longer available.
if it is not available, then there has to be a ‘conspiracy’.
this is why i kick against the ‘conspiracy culture’–whatever it’s based on.
Covid is a trivial nuisance when compared to the energy crisis, and the chaos that is going to bring, covid has been the tripwire that exposed our weaknesses in the energy culture that we have created and live in.
our excesses are going to be taken away.
Self-organizing systems look like conspiracies, but they are not. It is just the way that things work out. Everyone has similar motivations and it looks a whole lot like a conspiracy, but it isn’t really.
well Gail, you and I have exchanged points of view on this over more years than I care to remember —i wish you’d pass a note to that effect to Eddy and his cohorts. (no one is conspiring to bump off my g grandkids)
We are facing catastrophe the likes of which none of us can begin to imagine.
Covid looks like it has been the tripwire–(that no one spotted in the undergrowth)
the only thing that’s now missing is the date
10 years ago I forecast mid 2020s, right now it’s looking scarily accurate.
Why are they injecting babies though norm… what purpose can that possibly serve given the injection does not stop a baby from getting covid — and not a single healthy baby has gotten more than a sniffle from covid.
Help us to understand this norm… please help us…
We are begging you …. we are too stooopid to work it out without your help
They conspire … but they are there because the system requires the conspiracy that they create to fulfil on the self organizing system… what must happen will happen … the people who appear to be controlling it are actually not in control… it was inevitable that they and their ideas would rise to the top … there might appear to be other choices… but there are not … only the pre-ordained course of action was an option … anything else is ‘unnatural’ therefore not possible
Kinda like communism … it defies the laws of human nature therefore it will always be opposed and was always bound to fail… we can point to specific people who were in leadership positions who made decisions that toppled the USSR — but they only rose to those positions and were able to push those policies … because the self organizing system required that to happen… if they had not pushed those policies they would have faded into oblivion and someone else would have.
Funny how the year, 2030, keeps popping up. And not in a good way.
yes I do see 2030 mentioned a lot lately. 😉
(the minds of ten fingered ten toed people seem to gravitate towards round numbers, in base 10 of course)
I am pretty sure that Mr. Joe Biden is going to have a cup of tea with MBS and talk about the great investment possibilities in
NEOM
https://www.neom.com/en-us
because Saudi Arabia is now transitioning it’s economy to world leading innovation, sustainability and recreation.
It will in 15 years for sure look better than a simmilarily ambitious project that was started in 2009 called MASDAR in the VAE.
Here is a (german) article:
https://www.biorama.eu/masdar-city/
You do not need to read it fully but might want to. A glimpse of the satellite view comparison between plan and reality suffice.
Masdar is currently scheduled to be finished in 2030. Finally.
Not mentioning that I fully agree that Saudi Arabia is depleting its oil, I was thinking that probably Saudi Arabia – at the moment – is secretely importing Russian oil in order not to deplete too fast its reserves, helping from one side US, from another Russia and from last side helping itself to postpone its ruin.
That way Saudi Arabia could work like a sort of Switzerland of oil, where money enters dirty from the back door and goes out clean from the front one.
Oil laundering LOL
So, are Russia and Saudi Arabia counting the same oil?
Perhaps.
I expect that pinning down where a fuel is really produced is difficult.
Specially when they don’t want anyone to know cuz that would alert the Hordes to the fact that Putin isn’t the problem
7 minute mark he says SL went cold turkey on petro chemical fertilizer and switched to organic – causing crop yields to drop up to 25% – requiring the importing of rice.
I call bullshit on this.
When we launched our Doomie Project in Bali – I hired an NGO that was focused on helping rice farmers convert from chems to organic inputs.
For 200 bucks a month we got a full time trainer who spent 3 months with us going through everything ….
He specifically told me that they were working with some farmers who wanted to revert to organic because the price of chems was wiping them out… he SPECIFICALLY TOLD ME – that it takes years to revert due to soil damage … so what they would do is convert small strips at a time — otherwise the farmer would have NO crop at all… it had to be gradual … so obviously that would take quite a long time to convert an entire system of paddies.
If SL shut down chems completely – which is what has been asserted — they would be experiencing Holodomor right now – they’d be selling body parts on the street.
We are being lied to

There are lots of very light cases, but virtually no deaths.

Another cold rainy day for Melbourne.
In Nathaniel Hawthorne’s book House of Seven Gables, near the end of the book this passage is mentioned.
“The son of the executed Matthew Maule, while building this house, took the opportunity to construct that recess, and hide away the Indian deed, on which depended the immense land-claim of the Pyncheons. Thus they bartered their eastern territory for Maule’s garden-ground.” ”
tl,dr, the family in the story effectively exchanged a huge territory, as big as an eastern US state, to a fking house which is the base of this story. The family dies out, its final survivor marrying the narrator, a lowly photographer.
In a sense, United Kingdom’s foreign policies since 1700 have bartered the possibility for a Spacefaring, post-Singularity, Galactic civilization for 6 billion Third Worlders who are, I have to go say, good for very little. Its inability to compromise and not meddle with European affairs only strengthened Asia which will strangle any possibility for the advancement of civilization once for all.
All these British landowners will eventually look like the elites in Delhi in a century, for their ‘troubles’ of messing up western civilization.
damn, giving away space faring and the singularity is big.
ha ha, too bad, we’re not going “to the stars”!
“… which will strangle any possibility for the advancement of civilization once for all.”
good foresight there, k, you now see that there is NO possibility.
good job.
please stay consistent.

An interesting finding regarding the uniqueness of our solar system and our g class stars main sequence evolution is that our system is far more metal rich than most other star systems and our sun has more metals in it than most other stars period. There has always been speculation the local system evolved form a supernova remnant, but it appears our metal abundance may have required a particularly type of nova involving the collision of two neutron stars. It seems it is predicted as such supper massive objects merge into a new single gravity well and their matter falls onto each other, it reignites a heavier type of Staller fusion, Normal stellar fusion of course finishes once iron is fused in the core, because so much input energy is required to drive fusion further and the weight of the Star under it’s own collapsing gravity can’t drive it, so the Star is out of fuel. Neutron stars in a neutron to neutron star collision have both already under gone a previous nova and their matter is (electron) degenerate, but when this stuff falls onto its equivalent more energy can be briefly generated, astronomers now believe such events are the cause of the phenomenon known as a magnetar which are known to generate extremely powerful magnetic fields and are very rear.

http://www.astronomycast.com/2022/05/ep-644-is-earth-normal/
Bottom line is, the conditions for life as we know it may not be as widely distributed among the stars as we’d hoped and even if we ever could travel to other systems; we had better make sure those systems are metal rich and at least as rich as our sun as a selection metric. We might also be better off fully utilising the metal, mineral and water abundance of our own solar system to create additional habitable zones within it well before we ever try to venture out. I don’t even know if this is possible. We haven’t really been out of our own planetary gravity well or perhaps fully contended with how to manage the radiation out there. It is important to have a vision for our collective future and still think we should try
Interesting. Your comment reminds me of the book Rare Earth: Why Complex Life Is Uncommon in the Universe by Peter Ward and Donald Brownlee, first published in 2000.
The front runners for the next British PM include Sunak and the Iraqi guy who replaced him, plus a Nigerian.
That is the end of centuries of killing Europeans.
I read an analysis that the British strategy of the Great War was correct because killing all these people brought victory.
Victory for whom? India? Africa? KMA.
A British defeat in the Great War would not have been catastrophic, and would actually have been more beneficial since it would have kept most of its empire to this day. Germany would have taken the loss of its colonies as a fait accompli and concentrate more on the east, and Britain would have suppressed the Irish rebellion and other colonial unpleasantness instead.
British policies for centuries led to the wanton destruction of Europeans to the degree that Europe is about to be overwhelmed by Africa, and Britain itself by India. A job well done.
Europe has become very non-European in recent years, as an increasing number of outsiders moved in. You list leaders that are non-European.
Perhaps the same thing is happening in the US, but it is less obvious. We started off with quite a mix and we keep adding to it. Mostly, we don’t see Indians or Chinese or even Mexicans in top leadership positions. We see political appointees who seem to have very little knowledge of what they are doing, and ones with strange sexual orientation. But these issues don’t have to do with them being immigrants.
RUSSIA Switches Off NORD STREAM Gas Supply Causing MAJOR CONCERNS in GERMANY
45,011 views · 8 hours ago

Joe Blogs …says Germany relies on Russia for 40% of it’s supply …
Maybe Germany should sign another non aggression pact with Russia…it worked before..
Joe says it’s going to be devasting to the world economy….lots of industries will shut down..
That should make Greta Happy…How DARE They!
Will will make it past 2023!? Lord help us…oh that’s right …he’ll be BACK
At the moment we have a scheduled (!) 10 day maintenance.
A “what if” consideration on any cause is no longer worth any mental efforts.
Joe Blogs doesn’t understand how tight world natural gas supplies really are. And how crazy the idea of moving away from Russian’s natural gas supplies really is.
The cost of natural gas is mostly the cost of delivery. If a delivery system is there, and the gas is really there, a country pretty much needs to use it. Of course, with depletion, the natural gas may not really be there, even if a new pipeline has been built.
Building a new pipeline is a great way of creating stimulus jobs for a country, whether or not the pipeline is ever used for anything. If Germany paid half the cost of the pipeline, so much the better.
Sometimes I wonder if North Stream 2 will be the only pipeline to supply Germany, because probably Russia could stop using North Stream 1 forever, as it goes through what will rest of an enemy Country: Ukraine.
North stream pipelines do not go through Ukraine.
Trump said Germany is dependent on Russia but in reality it was dependent on Ukraine.
You will need to explain that, as it is common knowledge that Ukraine is dependent on Russia for its gas supply.
Full of misinformation. Doesnt explain why European countries have been cut off by Russia (they are refusing to pay Gazprom Bank in Moscow which is the same as refusing to pay).
Doesn’t understand the main problem with LNG, he thinks the main problem is regasification. The main problems are it’s very expensive and there isn’t enough of it.

Sure it is….maybe it’s because we are burning it all as fast as we can…Right Edwin?
The U.S. utility industry’s shift from coal and toward renewables likely will be unaffected by a recent Supreme Court ruling limiting the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to force fossil-fuel plant shutdowns.
Activists have denounced the ruling, arguing that it’s a blow to the battle against global warming. But, writes Morgan Stanley analyst Stephen Byrd, “We see minimal change to utility capex [capital expenditures] or clean energy growth plans.”

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies tumbled on Tuesday as investor sentiment soured—and analysts are now eyeing another precipitous drop.
The price of Bitcoin BTCUSD –2.60% fell 5% over the past 24 hours, plunging through the key $20,000 level and hovering around $19,500. The largest crypto made significant gains with a rally into last weekend, changing hands as high as $22,000, but has since fallen back. Now, the $18,000 bottom that was hit in the trough of a selloff in mid-June is in sight.

Nigeria swings to solar as diesel costs bite
Tue, July 12, 2022 at 7:39 AM
However, it’s not fossils fuels but solar panels that are powering the aerators and freezing equipment at this $100 million facility on the outskirts of Nigeria’s commercial capital Lagos.
It’s one sign of how businesses are looking for alternatives as the cost of diesel soars.
Christian Wessels is the president and co-founder of Daystar Power Energy Solutions, which has just finished installing the shrimp farm’s 2MW solar power plant.
“We are at the beginning of what is nothing shy of a power revolution of turning to more renewables.”
Daystar, which is also building a 6MW plant at a factory in Lagos, says they’ve seen an increase in demand driven by the rise in diesel prices.
Nigeria has a sclerotic national grid delivering 4,000 MW at its peak.
That leaves businesses and citizens heavily reliant on diesel-powered generators.
But Daystar Chief Commercial Officer Victor Ezenwoko says the price of diesel – which is not subsidized like petrol – has this year more than doubled to 800 naira a liter, or around 1.9 dollars, in some places.
Most of that increase came after the start of the war in Ukraine.
Ezenwoko says, as businesses try to cut costs, Daystar is expecting to double its solar installation capacity to 48 MW next year.
“So right now it is a game of trying to also manage expectations with customers and let them okay, there is a bit of a backlog but we are trying to see how we can accommodate, and who knows, maybe that 24MW may end up being 30 this year.”
However there are some difficulties in a country where solar penetration is estimated to be under 2%.
The Ukraine conflict and lockdowns in China this year have disrupted global supply chains.
And delivery times for some equipment have risen from three months to nine months.
Hahahaha…sure the shrimp will wait 9 months…no problem
Maybe it will be possible to install enough solar to charge everyone’s phone. I doubt it can do any more, however. Job? Raise food? Lights for schools? Pave roads?
Cool – so they will run coal power plants so they can have juice when the sun doesn’t shine – like Germany does — and they’ll pay some of the highest electricity rates on the planet.
Congrats!

Sri Lanka’s embattled president was stuck in his own country on Tuesday in a humiliating stand-off with airport immigration staff blocking his exit to safety abroad, official sources said.
Gotabaya Rajapaksa has promised to resign on Wednesday and clear the way for a “peaceful transition of power” following widespread protests against him over the country’s unprecedented economic crisis.
The 73-year-old leader fled his official residence in Colombo just before tens of thousands of protesters overran it on Saturday and wanted to travel to Dubai, officials said.
But immigration officers were refusing to go to the VIP suite to stamp his passport, while he insisted he would not go through the public facilities fearing reprisals from other airport users.

Dr Peter McCullough: The Pfizer “vaccine” reverse transcribes and installs DNA into the human genome. https://t.me/robinmg/21499
That’s why lipid nanoparticles should be the greatest cause for concern. Their job is to break down barriers like the blood-brain barrier or the placental barriers as well as other natural barriers in the human body. The theory being that this ingeneous medical advance allows medications to reach difficult areas. In very specific and even rare cases, this might make sense… as a last resort… in order to save someones life from a degenerative disease or a tricky tumor etc. But to inject a whole population with such ingredients is to witness genocide in real time. If the gene modification is true (only in subjects that recieved the trial) and if they survive the trial beyond the trial period (which could last many years) then they would be GM humans. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the main reason for this spectacle more than the UEP. Transhumanism being tested in real time before our eyes. The data being collected will be used to tweak for the next round.
My take is that this is a function of “Unrestricted Warfare” as written by two Chinese colonels in 1999. The Chinese Communist Party would have known the “vaccine” platforms the west were developing and how toxic they were to humans (noting that the Chinese did not deploy a LNP/mRNA platform). They then scared the western population by showing videos of people collapsing in Chinese cities and bribed the leadership of western countries to deploy this technology. The result appears to be plummeting birth rates (check out Igor’s substack). If true, it is a master stroke in military strategy but deeply devastating for western nations.
The evidence certainly points to this. Don’t know why more people can’t see it. The internal strife in China looks to be more political in nature than anything to do with false positive PCR tests which have been thoroughly debunked over the past two years and yet people still refer to these numbers as if they mean anything. The whole world is completely and utterly insane. Mass psychosis due to false beliefs has always been a major issue for this species. And when resources become scarce, the gloves come off. I’ve heard troops are amassing in South America. Tensions are building around Turkey. China is imploding. African and South American nations are like tinder ready to ignite at the slightest spark. I have to admit, I get excited when I hear these reports. It’s not because I take pleasure in watching people suffer. I just think… finally! Some action! Like I’m watching a movie with a really slow second act waiting for the fireworks. If what you say is true… the real life spectacle is like a Mexican standoff with everyone pointing very powerful weapons at each other. And everyone knows that there’s not enough to go around. So everyone is now in a situation where they must strike first or be the shmuck that did nothing to survive. When the smoke clears… one player may remain standing, or several, or none. An ally may stab another in the back to win the game. But all of them are thinking this. I’m not convinced that nukes or bioweapons are actually feasible options for any of the players or even if they relly work as portrayed in the advertising material. But jabs… a masterstroke indeed.
mRNA by moderna was developed exactly as directly targeting cancer cells (possibly finding them for their membrane structure). It also was thought to alter the DNA of these cancer cells so that they self destruct albeit I think that a cancer cell is already in some sort of self destruct mode. I am pretty sure that if you search for it that lipid nanoparticles are considered not a good thing for general application as was mRNA.
Genetic experiments is the thing Todd Callender (?) ia about for the lawsuit with the US Army. Also Dr David Martin is on that road.
And then we have the generational infertillity experiment (unconfirmed still) on top. It will take a generation to decide on that.
It is so devastating. And it gets worse by the day for what is being tried to figure out what happened on that “crime scene”.
We may never get around to prosecuting and hanging the perps for the worst crime in history. It may be that we have other fish to fry as things continue to fall apart. On the other hand, many believe that we’re being played on the energy front also. I don’t want to inject hopium into the conversation. That would be rude. But there is a lot of info pertaining to hidden tech and shadow-banned patents that is worth researching and keeping in mind when looking at what’s unfolding. The globalists are following a script. The MSM is following a script. The entire alternative media slushpile including pundits on Substack are IN ON IT! They ALL hit their marks and bleat the same talking points and repeat repeat repeat until everone GETS it. Classic propaganda 101. I thought more people here would be able to see this but obviously not. FE parrots medical propaganda all day every day. You are NOT helping FE. You’re just part of the problem. Suckered into the game just like everone else. It’s ALL a HUGE distraction. Something is bubbling up under the surface. I wouldn’t be surprised if the punchline (after much tribulation) is a false messiah of some kind. Alt tech patents get released. And whovever’s still standing gets to live for another hundred years cause Globbly Wobbly was a hoax too.
Did you hear that a guy invented an engine that can run on water? Ya – and Exxon bought him out for 250M and hid the formula in a safe.
Just before we collapse they are going to ride to the rescue with this incredible invention
Lipid nanoparticles don’t belong in humans, certainly not on today’s huge scale without a huge amount of testing. Too many things could go wrong. There is a good reason for the blood-brain barrier and other barriers.
This does not concern norm in the slightest.
Right norm?
Inject this into babies – right norm?
My understanding is that they were developed to try to get chemo into the brain to kill brain tumours.
Transhumanism is not possible unless it can occur without the existence of BAU – cuz BAU is on the precipice of implosion.
Let’s not rule out David Icke’s theory that we are ruled by lizard people — they may have an agenda that does not require BAU — perhaps they have some magic energy source from the planet Zeon … and they are going to import all the other lizards and we’ll be their compliant servants…
Anything is possible.
I lean towards the mass death being caused by the injections >>> extinction.
But if the facts change — I will quickly revise the UEP
I just think it’s healthy to keep a door open into the unknown. Who knows what lies beyond. Everything that’s unfolding is waaay too much like a movie script. Almost as if the very elderly elders are massaging reality to fit a self-fulfilling prohecy. One where they get to be the heroes when it all turns around in the final act. I know we’re mostly doomers here. But I wouldn’t rule out a plot twist. It’s been known to happen. Right now… I’m somewhere between face ripping and space lizard from planet Zeon intervention. Either way, I find it all very exciting.
I wouldn’t miss it for anything … I wouldn’t trade experiencing this for being born 30 years earlier and dead already.

EU Plans Now to Actually Pay Companies to Slow Down Production. Where Will the Madness End?

403 🙊 🙈 forbidden..with lots of what seems Russian and English
The Ministry of Health (MOH) in the past week has just radically changed the way they are coding the data on Covid infections, hospitalisation and deaths.
Before this adjustment, they withheld the data for one day and have now come out with a completely different set to present to the nation.
1. All partially vaccinated are now moved into an unvaccinated category. Two days before the withholding of statistics, unvaccinated infections were 50,000 then suddenly went up to 64,000 approx. Partially vaccinated last week days ago were 14,185 infections.
2. They are also reporting under 12 years of age as one group, whether vaccinated or not, instead of reporting the category as “not eligible for vaccination at the time of infection”. Now, of course, approx 25% of children 5-12 years are vaccinated but presumably, they do not want to compare their numbers to the unvaccinated children.
3. Hospitalisation with Covid is now being called hospitalisation for Covid. They’ve taken about 40% of the hospitalisations out now. Now there are only around 8,000 hospitalisations instead of 14,000 previously reported. This is more realistic.
4. However, magically in one day, there were suddenly 100 more ‘unvaccinated’ people in ICU care than they had before.
The MOH hasn’t been able to ‘adjust’ the deaths other than shifting the partially vaccinated out and putting them into the unvaccinated category. It still looks severe for vaccinated and boosted.
82% of deaths overall still are vaccinated or boosted.
In the last 14 days, a rolling day average of 83% of deaths are boosted.

Canadian government invests $8.5 million in state-of-the-art insect production facility “to support sustainable food production”
“Alternative sources of protein such as insects provide an opportunity for Canada’s agriculture and agri-food sector to more sustainably meet global demand for food.
This investment will allow the company to monitor and grow billions of crickets at a time, producing a nutrient-rich protein for premium health food and pet markets.”
https://www.canada.ca/en/agriculture-agri-food/news/2022/06/investment-in-state-of-the-art-facility-for-aspire-to-support-sustainable-food-production.html
Like over 6 years ago I listened to a NPR Public radio program regarding this very topic…it’s been in the pipeline for many years. Because of natural population growth..sarcasm…the world will need another source of protein, which insects will provide.
As children we raised mealworms to feed to our tropical fish….rodents love them too.
Easy to keep..never tried one though
https://www.fao.org/edible-insects/en/
Trends towards 2050 predict a steady population increase to 9 billion people, forcing an increased food/feed output from available agro-ecosystems resulting in an even greater pressure on the environment. Scarcities of agricultural land, water, forest, fishery and biodiversity resources, as well as nutrients and non-renewable
energy are foreseen.
The Contribution of Insects to Food Security, Livelihoods and the Environment
Edible insects contain high quality protein, vitamins and amino acids for humans. Insects have a high food conversion rate, e.g. crickets need six times less feed than cattle, four times less than sheep, and twice less than pigs and broiler chickens to produce the same amount of protein. Besides, they emit less greenhouse gases and ammonia than conventional livestock. Insects can be grown on organic waste. Therefore, insects are a potential source for conventional production (mini-livestock) of protein, either for direct human consumption, or indirectly in recomposed foods (with extracted protein from insects); and as a protein source into feedstock mixtures.
Since 2003, FAO has been working on topics pertaining to edible insects in many countries worldwide. FAO’s contributions cover the following thematic areas:
the generation and sharing of knowledge through publications, expert meetings and a web portal on edible insects;
awareness-raising on the role of insects through media collaboration (e.g. newspapers, magazines and TV);
the provision of support to member countries through field projects (e.g. the Laos Technical Cooperation Project);
networking and multidisciplinary interactions (e.g. stakeholders working with nutrition, feed and legislation-related issues) with various sectors within and outside FAO .
Glad to see they are doing it
This is like Bill’s farmland purchase… it’s meant to feed the hordes yet another lie about some sort of Great Reset…
It’s probably nothing more than an announcement – just like banning ICE vehicles is nothing more than an announcement … or that the UK has built a depot for flying taxis… but when I try to find it I get nothing more than a website….
It’s amazing what you can make people believe if you control the MSM
Insects are muchly recommended. Consume them in the American style.

Haven’t had a cold in over 20 years. Look out my window and everything’s fine. Supermarkets fully stocked. Deliveries ariive on time. Everyone smiling. People enjoying the heatwave and the beach.
Maybe… just maybe… you’re living in a special kind of hell. Maybe it’s better to just go about your life… instead of “researching” and reposting mostly nonsense about covid and some useful stuff about vaxx toxicity (that the billions who injected are never going to hear about).
There is zero actual scientific evidence that virus particles cause disease, but keep spreading the fear propaganda for the elite and Big Pharma. They love you for it.

that sounds like a rerun of the medical centre ‘encounter’ you were so fond of retelling a year or two back.
until you retold it so often the thread of it kinda came apart at the seams, in a manner of speaking. And became BS.
odd–but my random encounters with people of the female persuasion always leaves both of us with a mutual smile to take away. (as well as more than random ones).

“Ambulance service in ‘critical’ condition as worker brands June ‘worst ever’” – The ambulance service has been described as being in ‘critical’ condition with crews waiting outside hospital to drop patients off for more than day, the Mirror reports.
The ambulance service is in a “critical” condition as crews get stuck at hospitals for more than a day, risking patients’ lives and causing huge delays in 999 calls.
A poll of ambulance services’ longest delays outside overcrowded A&E departments last month revealed that one West Midlands crew was held for 26 hours in boiling heat on June 6.
In London, also on June 6, a crew had an eight-hour, 23-minute wait.
The North West Ambulance service said their longest handover for the first two weeks of June was 9hrs, 16mins.
The Welsh Ambulance Service had a crew waiting for 26hrs, 58mins.
In the Yorkshire region, the longest hospital handover in recent weeks was on June 7 at Hull Royal Infirmary, where a crew stayed for 9hrs, 36mins.
One ambulance service worker, who did not want to be named, said last month was the “worst June ever”.

The following excerpts are from the same play-book where they deny all alternatives to the Convid scam.
‘Your field of study in the Geophysical Institute is solar inertial motion (SIM). Could you explain what it is?
It is a movement of the Sun around the barycentre (centre of gravity) of our solar system. This motion is due to the varying position of the planets, especially the giant planets.
Already Sir Isaac Newton in his PRINCIPIA (1687) intuitively came to the following conclusion: “… since that centre of gravity (centre of mass of the solar system) is continually at rest, the Sun, according to the various positions of the planets, must continually move every day, but will never recede far from that centre.” This effect is not insignificant. The Sun moves across an area the size of 4.3 solar radiuses, i.e. 0.02 AU or 3.106 km. As a coincidence, the average solar speed is around 50 km/hr. Just like the speed of a car driving downtown. The first study about SIM was written by P.D. Jose in year 1965.
‘But how do they explain why every 180 years there is a long-term temperature maximum? How do they explain the significant temperature maximum around 1000 AD, when even Greenland was settled? How do they explain the long-term minima?
They don’t. They pretend it did not happen
Aren’t you sorry that after 20 years SIM is still not in the elementary school textbooks? That klim8 changlings are still explained only by CO2, as if klim8 was influenced by no other factors whatsoever?
Publishing of my (our) articles has always been a bad dream. Some editors rejected our article without review, saying their readers would surely not be interested. Another editor told me, that they would not allow having anything about SIM published in their magazine! I even received a “peer review” consisting of a single sentence: “All articles about solar motion should be banned!”
