No politician wants to tell us the real story of fossil fuel depletion. The real story is that we are already running short of oil, coal and natural gas because the direct and indirect costs of extraction are reaching a point where the selling price of food and other basic necessities needs to be unacceptably high to make the overall economic system work. At the same time, wind and solar and other “clean energy” sources are nowhere nearly able to substitute for the quantity of fossil fuels being lost.
This unfortunate energy story is essentially a physics problem. Energy per capita and, in fact, resources per capita, must stay high enough for an economy’s growing population. When this does not happen, history shows that civilizations tend to collapse.
Politicians cannot possibly admit that today’s world economy is headed for collapse, in a way similar to that of prior civilizations. Instead, they need to provide the illusion that they are in charge. The self-organizing system somehow leads politicians to put forward reasons why the changes ahead might be desirable (to avert climate change), or at least temporary (because of sanctions against Russia).
In this post, I will try to try to explain at least a few of the issues involved.
[1] Citizens around the world can sense that something is very wrong. It looks like the economy may be headed for a serious recession in the near term.
Consumer sentiment is at an extraordinarily low level, worse than during the 2008-2009 great recession according to a chart (Figure 2) shown on the University of Michigan Survey of Consumers website. According to the same website, nearly 48% of consumers blame inflation for eroding their standard of living. Food prices have risen significantly. Over the past year, the cost of car ownership has escalated, as has the cost of buying or renting a home.
The situation in Europe is at least as bad, or worse. Citizens are worried about possibly “freezing in the dark” this winter if electricity generation cannot be maintained at an adequate level. Natural gas supplies, mostly purchased from Russia by pipeline, are less available and high-priced. Coal is also high-priced. Because of the fall of the Euro relative to the US dollar, the price of oil in euros is as high as it was in 2008 and 2012.
Many other countries, besides those in the Eurozone, are experiencing low currencies relative to the dollar. Some examples include Argentina, India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Turkey, Japan, and South Korea.
China has problems with developers of condominium homes for its citizen. Many of these homes cannot be delivered to purchasers as promised. As a protest, buyers are withholding payments on their unfinished homes. To make matters worse, the prices of condominium homes have started to fall, leading to a loss of value of these would-be investments. All of this could lead to serious problems for the Chinese banking industry.
Even with these major problems, central banks in the US, the UK and the Eurozone are raising target interest rates. The US is also implementing Quantitative Tightening, which also tends to raise interest rates. Thus, central banks are intentionally raising the cost of borrowing. It doesn’t take much insight to see that the combination of price inflation and higher borrowing costs is likely to force consumers to cut back on spending, leading to recession.
[2] Politicians will avoid talking about possible future economic problems related to inadequate energy supply.
Politicians want to get re-elected. They want citizens to think that everything is OK. If there are energy supply problems, they need to be framed as being temporary, perhaps related to the war in Ukraine. Alternatively, any issue that arises will be discussed as if it can easily be fixed with new legislation and perhaps a little more debt.
Businesses also want to minimize problems. They want citizens to place orders for their goods and services, without the fear of being laid off. They would like the news media to publish stories saying that any economic dip is likely to be very mild and temporary.
Universities don’t mind problems, but they want the problems to be framed as solvable ones that will offer their students opportunities for jobs that will pay well. A near-term, unsolvable predicament is not helpful at all.
[3] What is wrong is a physics problem. The operation of our economy requires energy of the correct type and the right quantity.
The economy is something that grows through the “dissipation” of energy. Examples of dissipation of energy include the digestion of food to give energy to humans, the burning of fossil fuels, and the use of electricity to power a light bulb. A rise in world energy consumption is highly correlated with growth in the world economy. Falling energy consumption is associated with economic contraction.
In physics terms, the world economy is a dissipative structure, just as all plants, animals and ecosystems are. All dissipative structures have finite lifespans, including the world economy.
This finding is not well known because academic researchers seem to operate in ivory towers. Researchers in economic departments aren’t expected to understand physics and how it applies to the economy. In fairness to academia, the discovery that the economy is a dissipative structure did not occur until 1996. It takes a long time for findings to filter through from one department to another. Even now, I am one of a very small number of people in the world writing about this issue.
Also, economic researchers are not expected to study the history of the many smaller, more-localized civilizations that have collapsed in the past. Typically, the population of these smaller civilizations increased at the same time as the resources used by the population started to degrade. The use of technology, such as dams to redirect water flows, may have helped for a while, but eventually this was not enough. The combination of declining availability of high quality resources and increasing population tended to leave these civilizations with little margin for dealing with the bad times that can be expected to occur by chance. In many cases, such civilizations collapsed after disease epidemics, a military invasion, or a climate fluctuation that led to a series of crop failures.
[4] Many people have been confused by common misunderstandings regarding how an economy really works.
[a] Standard economics models foster the belief that the economy can continue to grow without a corresponding increase in energy supply.
When economic models are designed with labor and capital being the important inputs, energy supply doesn’t seem to be needed, at all.
[b] People seem to understand that legislation capping apartment rents will stop the building of new apartments, but they do not make the same connection with steps taken to hold down fossil fuel prices.
If efforts are made to bring down the prices of fossil fuels (such as raising interest rates and adding oil from the US petroleum reserves to increase total oil supply), we need to expect that extraction will be adversely affected. One article reports that Saudi Arabia does not seem to be using recent record profits to quickly raise reinvestment to the level that seemed to be required a few years ago. This suggests that Saudi Arabia needs prices that are quite a bit higher than $100 per barrel in order to take significant steps toward extracting the country’s remaining resources. This would seem to contradict published reserves that, in theory, take current prices into consideration.
Reuters reports that Venezuela has reneged on its promise to send more oil to Europe, under an oil for debt deal. It wants oil product swaps instead, since it is lacking in its ability to make finished products from its oil itself. It would take a long run of prices much higher than today’s level for Venezuela to be able to sufficiently invest in infrastructure to do such refining. Venezuela reports the highest oil reserves in the world (303.8 thousand million barrels), even higher than Saudi Arabia’s reported 297.5 thousand million barrels, but neither country can be counted on to take major steps to raise supply.
Similarly, there have been reports that US shale drillers are not investing to keep production growing, despite what seem to be sufficiently high prices. There are simply too many issues. The cost of new investment is very high, outside of the already drilled sweet spots. Also, there is no guarantee the price will stay high. There are also supply line issues, such as whether appropriate steel drilling pipes and fracking sand will be available, when needed.
[c] Published information suggests that there is a huge amount of fossil fuels remaining to be extracted, given today’s level of technology. If we assume that technology will get better and better, it is easy to believe that any fossil fuel limit is hundreds of years in the future.
The way the economy works, the extraction limit is really an affordability issue. If the cost of extraction rises too high, relative to what people around the world have for spendable income, production will stop because demand (in terms of what people can afford) will drop too low. People will tend to cut back on discretionary spending, such as vacation travel and meals in restaurants, cutting back on demand for fossil fuels.
[d] How “demand” works is poorly understood. Very often, researchers and the general public assume that demand for energy products will automatically remain high.
A surprisingly large share of demand is tied to the need for food, water, and basic services such as schools, roads, and bus service. Poor people require these basics just as much as rich people do. There are literally billions of poor people in the world. If the wages of poor people fall too low relative to the wages of rich people, the system cannot work. Poor people find that they must spend nearly all their income on food, water and housing. As a result, they have little left to pay taxes to support basic governmental services. Without adequate demand from poor people, the prices of commodities tend to fall too low to encourage reinvestment.
The majority of fossil fuel use is by commercial and industrial users. For example, natural gas is often used in making nitrogen fertilizer. If the price of natural gas is high, the price of fertilizer will rise higher than farmers are willing to pay for the fertilizer. Farmers will cut back on fertilizer use, reducing yields for their crops. The farmers’ own costs will be lower, but there will be less of the desired crops grown, perhaps indirectly raising overall food prices. This is not a connection that economic modelers build into their models.
The lockdowns of 2020 show that governments can indeed ramp up demand (and thus prices) for energy products by sending out checks to citizens. We are now seeing that the approach seems to produce inflation rather than more energy production. Also, countries without energy resources of their own may see their currencies fall with respect to the US dollar.
[e] It is not true that energy types can easily be substituted for one another.
In energy modeling, such as in calculating “Energy Return on Energy Invested,” a popular assumption is that all energy is substitutable for other energy. This isn’t true, unless a person accounts for all of the details of the transition, and the energy needed to make such a transition possible.
For example, intermittent electricity, such as that generated by wind turbines or solar panels, is not substitutable for load-following electricity. Such intermittent electricity is not always available when people need it. Some of this intermittency is very long-term. For example, wind-generated electricity may be low for more than a month at a time. In the case of solar energy, the problem tends to be storing up enough electricity during summer months for use in winter. A naive person might assume that adding a few hours of battery backup would fix intermittency problems, but such a fix turns out to be very inadequate.
If people are not to freeze in the dark in winter, longer-term solutions are needed. One standard approach is to use a fossil fuel system to fill in the gaps when wind and solar are not available. The catch, then, is that the fossil fuel system really needs to be a year-around system, with trained staffing, pipelines and adequate fuel storage. A modeler needs to consider the need to build a whole double system instead of a single system.
Because of intermittency issues, electricity from wind and solar only substitute for fuels (coal, natural gas, uranium) that operate our current system. Publications often talk about the cost of intermittent electricity being at “grid parity” when its temporary cost seems to match the cost of grid electricity, but this is matching “apples and oranges.” The cost comparison needs to be in comparison to the average cost of fuel for plants producing electricity, rather than to electricity prices.
Another popular assumption is that electricity can be substituted for liquid fuels. For example, in theory, every piece of farm equipment could be redesigned and rebuilt to be based on electricity, rather than diesel, which is typically used today. The catch is that there would need to be an enormous number of batteries built and eventually disposed of for this transition to work. There would need also need to be factories to build all this new equipment. We would need an international trade system operating extraordinarily well, to find all the raw materials. Likely, there would still not be enough raw materials to make the system work.
[f] There is a great deal of confusion about expected oil and other energy prices, as an economy reaches energy limits.
This issue is closely related to [4][d], with respect to the confusion about how energy demand works. A common assumption among analysts is that “of course” oil prices will rise, as limits are approached. This assumption is based on the standard supply and demand curve used by economists.
The issue is that the availability of inexpensive energy products very much affects demand as well as supply. Jobs that pay well are only available if inexpensive energy products can leverage human labor. For example, surgeons today perform robotic surgery, requiring, at a minimum, a stable source of electricity for each operation. Furthermore, the equipment used in the surgery is created using fossil fuels. Surgeons also use anesthetic products that require fossil fuels. Without today’s fancy equipment, surgeons would not be able to charge nearly as much they do for their services.
Thus, it is not immediately obvious whether demand or supply would tend to fall faster, if energy supply should hit limits. We know that Revelation 18:11-13 in the Bible provides a list of a number of commodities, including humans sold as slaves, for which prices dropped very low at the time of the collapse of ancient Babylon. This suggests that at least sometimes during prior collapses, the problem was too low demand (and too low prices), rather than too low supply of energy products.
[5] The International Energy Agency and politicians around the world have recommended a transition to the use of wind and solar to try to prevent climate change for quite a few years. This approach seemed to have the approval of both those concerned about too much burning of fossil fuels causing climate change and those concerned about too little fossil fuel energy causing economic collapse.
A rough estimate of what the decline in energy supply might look like under the rapid shift to renewables proposed by politicians is shown in Figure 6.
If a person understands the connection between energy consumption and the economy, such a rapid drop in energy supply looks like something that would likely be associated with economic collapse. The goal of politicians seems to be to keep citizens from understanding how awful the situation really is by reframing the story of the decline in energy supply as something politicians and economists have chosen to do, to try to prevent climate change for the sake of future generations.
The rich and powerful can see this change as a good thing if they themselves can profit from it. When there is not enough energy, the physics of the situation tends to lead to increasing wage and wealth disparities. Wealthy individuals see this outcome as a good thing: They can perhaps personally profit. For example, Bill Gates has amassed about 270,000 acres of farmland in the United States, including newly purchased farmland in North Dakota.
Furthermore, politicians see that they can have more control over populations if they can direct citizens in a way that will use less energy. For example, bank accounts can be linked to some type of social credit score. Politicians will explain that this is for people’s own good–to prevent the spread of disease or to prevent undesirables from using too much of the available resources.
One way of dramatically reducing energy consumption is by mandating shutdowns in an area, purportedly to prevent the spread of Covid-19, as China has been doing recently. Such shutdowns can be explained as being needed to stop the spread of disease. These shutdowns can also help hide other problems, such as not having enough fuels to prevent rolling blackouts of electricity.
[6] We are living in a truly unusual time, with a major energy problem being hidden from view.
Politicians cannot tell the world how bad the energy situation really is. The problem with near-term energy limits has been known since at least 1956 (M. King Hubbert) and 1957 (Hyman Rickover). The problem was confirmed in the modeling performed for the 1972 book, The Limits to Growth by Donella Meadows and others.
Most high-level politicians are aware of the energy supply issue, but they cannot possibly talk about it. Instead, they choose to talk about what would happen if the economy were allowed to speed ahead without limits, and how bad the consequences of that might be.
Militaries around the world are no doubt well aware of the fact that there will not be enough energy supplies to go around. This means that the world will be in a contest for who gets how much. In a war-like setting, we should not be surprised if communications are carefully controlled. The views we can expect to hear loudly and repeatedly are the ones governments and influential individuals want ordinary citizens to hear.
BOMBSHELL: Psychotherapist Mattias Desmet Failed to Report His Own Mass Murderer Patient
https://2ndsmartestguyintheworld.substack.com/p/bombshell-psychotherapist-mattias
This exemplifies how sophisticated the PR machine is … chess games within chess games within chess games…
Is any of that article real? Is Malone a false actor — is the author of that SS false?
A small observation:
Even if he’d killed a hundred people himself, that wouldn’t invalidate the observations Desmet has made about the masses getting hypnotized into complying with the Covid program.
Just as Henry Kissinger’s role in the torture and killing of millions of people and the destruction of entire societies doesn’t deflect from his excellent advice that the West should make the effort to get along with Russia.
Now, in Desmet’s case, if this story is true, since the crimes his patient confessed to him were in the past, and he judged that the patient was no longer a danger, my understanding is that he was not at liberty to report the confession to the authorities. So he acted according to the ethical dictates of his profession and to the law.
Actually, I am not a legal professional and I have no knowledge of Belgian law whatsoever. But I assume they have laws about this sort of thing even in Belgium, and if it becomes clear that a psychiatrist has broken such laws, they will get their collar felt.
“The mass psychosis concept not only sees the ‘masses’ or the people as originating totalitarianism, mostly on their own, but the concept also calls for letting off those who are pulling the strings behind the scenes on a global scale.”
When I listend to Desmet, I had a similar feeling. But in the end Desmet says, the masses have a blind eye and those, who impose lockdowns know that. Or did I get that wrong? And why does this calls for letting off those that pull the strings?
I don’t see that a mistake by Desmet in psychotherapy could discredit his theory about mass psychosis. In fact, the accusation is an argument ad hominem.
My issues with all of this are :
1. There is near consensus in the anti vax community leadership that this is a WEF production to cull / enslave us. Obviously a cull collapses everything so that is illogical. And the US is injecting the military — why would those in control do that? Utter nonsense. Unless of course they are using the fake wounded bird strategy to keep the interloper away from the chicks…
2. All of the leaders of the movement reject using violence to oppose what they claim is a regime intent on murdering and enslaving us. They urge us to instead keep trying to bring the CovIDIOTS around to help them escape the cult…. obviously that is not working and will not work.
I left a comment on Desmet’s essay asking him ‘what about the American Revolution?’ That surely would be considered a successful revolution…. and it involved plenty of violence…
No response.
Some of the leaders might be false actors pushing group-think on the others… I can see how a message of non-violence would be embraced — let’s all just keep pounding away on SS and avoid violence — and believing that this strategy will win the day… because promoting violence is likely to require the ultimate sacrifice…
Who wants that when one believes victory can be achieved without going to prison or being shot dead.
The PR Team has done a great job … a mass uprising would likely prematurely collapse BAU and we’d get ROF.

They are kept in line quite well by the CCP…
I ve seen a video of a young German in China saying noone there ever had covid. In Germany and Austria nearly everyone, vaxxed or not, is cured. Strange…
I remember that when Covid-19 started it happened that scary images and videos of people collapsing in the streets for the virus were circulating a lot through internet.
I wonder if that may be a similar scheme to prepare people’s mind.
Who knows…
My ex business partner’s wife is from Shanghai – and they tell her the food situation that we are seeing when lockdowns hit is real. People panic buy cuz they know the delivery vans are not very reliable + they deliver pretty basic stuff

Hepatitis B is a nonliving virus particle. A discussion about it was not included in the original book published in 1984 because it was not routinely administered at that time.
This shot is now routinely given to babies within 24 hours of birth. This is insane. The idea of injecting this stuff is to have B-cells in the body create serum antibodies. Guess what, the B-cells in newborns can’t do that. The ability of B-cells to communicate with T-cells and make functional antibodies is not possible until between the ages of 9 and 12 months! Why are they doing it then? In my opinion, it is to indoctrinate you into believing that this procedure is normal to “protect” your child on day 1, and have this ideology follow you for the rest of your life.

Yeah, that’s just a coincidence because it’s been proven that the vaccines are safe and effective.
Amazing how they can just spin that without throwing up.
On ESPN sportscenter the other night. They talked about a fairly young top NFL ex who recently “died suddenly”. And it was so strange because they didn’t know exactly what to say. Since they couldn’t put the blame on “his battle against cancer for ex”. And he was under 50. It was like they didn’t know how to rationalize his death to visibly show sorrow. Since it was labeled basically “mystery”.
Just bizarre. and cringe.
Your first graph covers “fossil fuel energy” but then you talk about “energy”, your first graph needs to include all energy (fossil fuels, nuclear, hydro, new renewables, biomass) otherwise it is a misrepresentation.
There very well may be an economic crash in 2022/2023, caused because of the Fed’s very late response to inflation and Europe cutting itself off from cheap Russian fossil fuel energy. Not peak fossil fuels or peak energy,
Fossil fuels are the basis for pretty much all of the energy types we use. Beyond fossil fuels, there is controversy as to what is counted, and how it is counted. If fossil fuels stop growing rapidly enough, the other energy types cannot possibly pull us along.
This is a chart prepared by the IEA showing energy types by source, according to their way of counting:
https://ourfiniteworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/IEA-World-Energy-Supply-by-Fuel-through-2019.-png-1024×576.png
Wind and solar, plus other energy types (designated as “etc,” but probably including geothermal energy) comprise the tiny little yellow sliver of total energy supply. If we look at the amounts involved, we find that “solar, wind, etc.” amount in total to 2.2% of total energy in 2019, which is the last year that they provide amounts for. It is also the only type of energy that is growing rapidly, at an average of 7.8% per year over the 29 year period, presumably because of the big subsidies and the many “renewable mandates.”
But, in 25 words or less, it is not getting anywhere, in terms of providing much of the energy the economy needed. Hydro is shown at 3.6%.
The group “biofuels and waste” is growing at a slower rate (1.5% per year average over the 29 year period from 1990 to 2019) than total energy supply (growing at 1.8% per year over the whole period). pply (2.7% per year). Biofuels would include ethanol and biodiesel. It would also include wood from trees, and animal dung being used as fuel. None of these things ramp up, because they compete with other uses for land. Waste is waste from our industrial society. Without fossil fuels, it will quickly disappear.
I would need to write a post to explain more fully. Wind and solar, because of the bizarre pricing scheme for wholesale electricity necessary to encourage wind and solar, seem to push nuclear out. They are not very helpful at all.
hahaha… nice chart… green groopies will hate you for that
Peak CHEAP energy.
CHEAP is the key word… lots of oil could be extracted if the economy could handle $200 a barrel oil.
Notice what 4x pricier gas is doing to Europe?
“It is surely self-evident that the economy is an energy system, not a financial one. But material prosperity isn’t a simple function of the quantitative availability of primary energy. Rather, the flow of economic value generated by the use of energy divides into two streams.
One of these is cost, meaning the proportion of accessed energy that, being consumed in the access process, is not available for any other economic purpose. This ‘consumed in access’ component is known here as the Energy Cost of Energy. Material prosperity is a function of the surplus energy that remains after ECoE has been deducted from the aggregate (or ‘gross’) amount of energy available.
Rising ECoEs affect the energy-prosperity dynamic in two ways. First, they reduce prosperity by decreasing the quantity of surplus energy available. Second, they make it ever harder to strike prices which meet the needs of both producer and consumer. In this equation, prices are an interface between producers’ costs and consumers’ prosperity. As costs rise and consumer affordability diminishes, aggregate supply starts to contract.
ECoEs have been rising over a very extended period, driven primarily by the effects of depletion on fossil fuels. Quite naturally, we have used lowest-cost resources first, leaving costlier alternatives for a ‘later’ that has now arrived.”

the world industrial economic system summed up in just 4 words.
Thanks Norman! Good material for a Koan.
An equally big issue is population rising too high for energy resources. The needed surplus energy keeps rising to match the ever-growing population.
Time to call time on delusion
It would be a good idea if, whenever anyone suggests a financial ‘fix’ – rate rises, rate cuts, QT, QE, debt-funded tax cuts, more debt – we were to ask them to explain how these measures are going to deliver cheaper energy.
This situation doesn’t leave us entirely powerless. We should, for instance, have long since embarked on energy efficiency measures, including the provision of public transport as a counter to the diminishing affordability of cars. Nuclear power offers some scope for supply relief, though it isn’t going to rescue us from energy deficiencies.
But no workable amelioration measures can be crafted whilst our appreciation of the situation remains faulty.
The reality is that we need to concentrate on how to allocate and manage deteriorating prosperity. This has become a less-than-zero-sum game. We should not delude ourselves into believing that we can help some without taking from others.
This becomes a political choice and, many might say, a moral one. Social cohesion depends on facing this reality, and there’s no mileage in denying it, or trying to wish it away by proposing financial gimmicks that can’t work.
Tim is delusional… he refuses to accept this is the end of everything. Or maybe he does … but tries to leave his readers hopeful.
I would like to think that Tim Morgan’s optimism is grounded in reality. I would much rather continue to play the game of musical chairs—which is what deteriorating prosperity sounds like—indefinitely, than to have to face the collapse, the fall at the end of the decline, the Seneca cliff, the abyss… But I rather suspect Tim Morgan’s optimism is misplaced. The balloon is going up. The ship is going down. There aren’t enough lifeboats to accommodate all the passengers. There are no safe harbors to row toward. And on top of all that, Liz Truss is willing to press the button.

General summary of found tissue damage
In the secondary examinations of more than 51 in connection with Covid “vaccinations” deceased we have found the pathohistological phenomena listed below – not found in all deceased and in various forms. Analog findings could also be collected on biopsy preparations:
– Vascular wall inflammation of smaller vessels in the sense of endothelitis, especially in heart, lungs and brain, up to vascular obliteration
– Vascular wall inflammation and texture disorders of large vessels (arteries
and main artery (aorta) with lymphocytic vasculitis, perivasculitis and
medianecosis. These can lead to cracks in the vessel wall (dissection) with bleeding
between the layers, but also to breakthrough bleeding (perforation) from the the vessel
– Vascular lumen constrictions and obstructions due to atypical thrombus formation and
vessel wall thickenings caused by incorporation. Typical thrombi contain red blood cells, platelets and fibrin. In the case of post-Covid ‘vaccinations’ however, other substances are apparently involved, we suspect that these are misfolded proteins related to prions – amyloid-like substances
– These “spike amyloid deposits” are found not only in fully formed thrombi, but also in vascular walls – with endothelial damage. Probably these amyloid-like deposits derive from the partially similar vaccine-induced spike protein (so-called functional amyloid). The problem is, that these proteins can not be reduced by the body, this results in a relationship to a known rare, in chronic inflammation observed disease – amyloidosis
– Inflammation of the heart muscle, predominantly lymphocytic. Lymphocytic inflammation are found in autoimmune or viral inflammatory processes, in contrast to granulocytic inflammation, which would be found after a heart attack
– Lesions of lymphatic organs (spleen and lymph nodes), in which we have found signs of activation with the formation of pseudolymphomas but also depletions-
phenomena (“depletion” of lymphoid tissue by lymphocytes-
overactivation depletion). A case of a malignant

Thank you very much indeed: Jessica Rose has discussed amyloidosis, too, as no doubt you are aware.
Yes, that’s why I posted it here. I cannot say I understand what they talk about. That much that I understood is, that Jessica sees the possibility of an amyloid production as the consequence of a chemical reaction, Arne points towards the spike protein and months ago Sucharit had expressed concerns that the thrombes are made from debris of the endothelial cells that are expressing the spike and then are destroyed while the antibodies are “trained”. I think perhaps all could come together.
Arne is a retired university professor of pathology with a lot of experience and he is qualified as an expert witness. So his findings are proof.
What I don’t understand is if what he found is expressed only in some people, or after some batches or if it is a general consequence of the injection that is just expressed with gradual differences?
In some reports about side effects we can learn that the inflammatory markers in the complete blood count plus some detailed analysis of interferon gamma and IgG4 show irregularities. Shouldn’t there be a connection?
These conditions don’t sound like anything anyone would want to have.
Yikes!
Anyone who’s been jabbed is well and truly spiked!
Unless they got the saline.

Strangely, it happens that in Israel: “All pregnant people should test for HIV/AIDS, not just those at high risk – Ministry of Health”
Is there any connection with what many researchers say…. ?
https://www.jpost.com/health-and-wellness/pregnancy-and-birth/article-716446
People must believe that HIV/AIDS can now be transmitted to people through normal activities, if their immune system is sufficiently damaged by the vaccine.
I thought that the problem was that the immune system of a person with multiple boosters started acting as if the person has Acquired Immune Deficiency. But this condition was not something that would transfer to a baby. It doesn’t really involve the HIV virus, as far as I know.
The most satisfying outcome would be one where all the injected contract AIDS
Given the negative connotations of that disease…
Get a grip, folks.
“Since 1995, CDC has recommended all pregnant women be tested for HIV and, if found to be infected, offered treatment for themselves to improve their health and to prevent passing the virus to their infant.”
“The chance that HIV infection will be transmitted from an HIV-infected pregnant woman to her child can be reduced to 1% or less. This is possible because better medicines are available to treat HIV. But first, the pregnant woman and her doctor must know if she is infected with HIV.”
https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/group/gender/pregnantwomen/opt-out.html
Whilst it may indeed be just a regular announcement, there is – certainly for the adenovirusvector-jabs a proven link to increased susceptability for HIV. below some further nuggets of “fire” that goes with the “smoke” reported here.
1. Use of adenovirus type-5 vectored vaccines: a cautionary tale (increased HIV risk)
https://www.thelancet.com/article/S0140-6736(20)32156-5/fulltext
2. SARS–CoV–2 Spike Impairs DNA Damage Repair and Inhibits V(D)J Recombination In Vitro
The paper is retracted, but possibly still relevant as i found the explanation for the retraction too vague.
Note the recombination inhibitance & DNA repair inhibitance would have wide ranging effects on both cancer rates, cancer surveillance and general immune functioning that would be very bad and possibly (likely ?) lethal for many people. If true it would show up as cancer and autoimmunue diseases (so HIV-like). Considering many critical body tissues & their cells regenerate anywhere from every few months to every few years this could truly be a “candidate-apocalypse” mechanism.
https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/13/10/2056
3. Intracellular Reverse Transcription of Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine BNT162b2 In Vitro in Human Liver Cell Line
The paper shows that reverse transcription occurs. This molecular mechanism reverses the mRNA back into DNA: more broadly stated the molecular pathway to integrate the “spike” in the cell genome has started up, unfortunately the paper has not sequenced the genome to verify if it truly gets integrated in the cell-line DNA.
The parallels with HIV are not mentioned in the paper, but are worth exploring and considering: HIV is a single stranded RNA virus that uses reverse transcription to revert to DNA once it has infected its host cells (mainly immune system cells, CD4 etc..). HIV THEN FIRST INTEGRATES IN THE CELL GENOME and then -sometimes after a certain latency period- the cells starts producing HIV copies… eventually destroying the level of immune cells circulating.
https://www.mdpi.com/1467-3045/44/3/73
The CDC is – sadly- not a reliable source of information anymore. The reality is that both mRNA and adenovector are biotechnologies which original purpose was gene-therapy. Both are now pushed into widespread use as vaccine technology. The reason was that they tended to trigger the immune-system which mostly prevented the gene-editing as i understand it – though not always. They have been working for decades on these technologies, but even so i’m highly doubtful that the full scale & depth of what they are doing remains poorly charted.

12 Numbers That Show That We Are Getting Dangerously Close To An Economic Crash As The Fall Of 2022 Approaches
#9 One recent survey found that 3.8 million Americans believe that they could be evicted from their homes within the next two months.
#10 According to the National Energy Assistance Directors Association, approximately 20 million U.S. households are currently behind on their utility bills.
#11 The Dow Jones Industrial Average has fallen for three weeks in a row. We also witnessed this sort of a gradual slide just prior to the big crash of 2008.
#12 In August, a whopping 2,150 corporate executives sold off shares in their companies. Are they trying to cash in while they still can?
Viewing the great energy crisis in UK, I am not surprised at all that the autmun booster will reduce the population significantly.
The more stressed a population is, the bigger the impact of any stress on it.
Uh oh. It turns out that Europe’s gas storage isn’t going to be much use.
Five days prior, seemingly trying to get in front of this news item, Europe announced their Natural Gas storage was 80%+ full which means absolutely nothing in Natural Gas world. You need pressurized flows of pipeline gas to push the stored gas through. Natural gas provision is dependent on pressure in the pipeline. This is not hyperbole. Gas doesn’t go through a straw on its own, and you cant use other gasses to push it through the straw without diluting it.
Isn’t that what turbines are for?
A what gas storage capacity does the turbine not have the capability to charge the lines with pressure?
When a turbine works in water it pushes water through the turbine with water. which creates pressure. If you don’t have gas in the pipeline then what’s going to push the gas in the storage tank? Meaning a spinning turbine has to move something to create pressure. You could use another gas, but it would be dilutive.
When I look up How Natural Gas Pipelines Work, I find:
https://pstrust.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/2015-PST-Briefing-Paper-02-NatGasBasics.pdf
I know that natural gas pipelines always use electricity or natural gas to move the gas in this way. This is probably where the turbines are involved. But I don’t know about natural gas in a storage area. It would likely have difficulty getting out, if it didn’t have something pushing it. But I don’t know about that part.
Withnail…. I agree with you totally that pressure is required to move the gas along pipelines.
I do think there are pumps along the way to get gas from A to B and not relying only on NS1 for the pressure. However, viewing that stoopit (sic) humans are (i.e. putting the generator in the basement of Fukushima), I am totally not surprised if the pumps are not working effectively.
The other concern that Gail brought up is that these pumps require electricity. It does not work if there is no electricity.
Some houses heat by electric. Some heat by gas. Right now, both electricity, gas and even to some extend, petroleum (diesel, petrol, etc) are in short supply.
Add in the complex financial system…

(Trasporto Europa)
Italian gas storage is almost at 80%. but it is good for only 20% of Italian consumption.
https://www.trasportoeuropa.it/notizie/energie/lo-stoccaggio-del-gas-al-79-serve-solo-al-20-dei-consumi/
The article does not technically explain why this happens, but the elaboration is from ISPE, so it is very reliable.
My guess is that this probably happens for various reasons, two could be:
1) electricity is also produced through gas, so the priority part goes to power plants.
It is more dangerous to ‘turn off’ the Society from electrical side (food storage, light, telecommunications etc.), than to stay in the cold.
However, one should not forget that with gas normally in Italy one cooks (and makes shower), so the problem it is not ‘only’ about staying in the cold 80% of the time.
2) In addition, probably, even if Italy fills 100% of its storage, that storage would not cover Italian self-sufficiency.
Probably ‘the system’ has been always relying also on a constant flow of gas through the pipelines and suddenly interrupting the way the system goes puts ‘the system’ itself in great crisis.
Maybe Gail has some comments about.
The picture is worrying.
Storage for natural gas is normally used just to “top off” what is available from pipelines and LNG. The cost of storage is basically an overhead cost. The current pricing system for electricity doesn’t build enough into the rates for such storage. This is why the quantity of storage tends to be very low.
Thank you.
It seems that this stored gas may not be much use. The pressure of the pipeline will be too low to use most of it without more gas flowing in from Russia.
The storage is meant to increase the flow of gas, not completely subsitiute for it. So I suppose most of it will just stay where it is unless or until more gas from Gazprom comes back.
I seem to remember James Kunstler in “The Long Emergency” saying that letting the domestic gas grid empty out is a major disaster and that they will close the electric power stations first to avoid this if at all possible.
I once spoke to an older gas engineer servicing our boiler and he said it would be a very long process to recharge the gas grid if it ever emptied and that basically the gas companies had very few employees left with any experience of the change over from town gas when this was done progressively across the country over a period of years.
He also said, that when he started his apprenticeship with the gas board, he was told that the North Sea had
so much gas it would never run out in his lifetime or that of his children.
I think I mentioned this before. A few years ago a district in Glasgow had its gas supply cut off, a broken pipe or something like that. Affected a few thousand houses. In order to re-connect a residential property, a qualified gas engineer must be in every house / flat to prevent possibility of gas leak / explosion. I seem to remember that the necessary few hundred engineers were brought in from the whole of the UK, and it took a week or two to reconnect all households. A city would take months, or longer, to reconnect all households, and ‘cities’ – doubt they would get reconnected.
Thanks MoO – that seems to chime with what he said – it would take years for the whole gas grid to be dealt with even if we could rustle up the expertise. I suspect the reason our “leaders” do not seem to be panicking about what seems to me to be an existential threat is that they are completely energy blind, stupid, economists or as Gail says, they just can’t, even when they know
I have heard that reconnecting homes after a cutoff is a major problem. That is why businesses are cut off from gas before homes (at least in the US), when gas demand is too high for the system. (This typically happens when it is very cold outside.) Schools are closed, and manufacturing plants are closed first, to reduce gas usage. Part of Massachusetts have had this problem in the past because both electricity and home heating use natural gas, but pipeline supply is not necessarily enough at times of peak demand.
“He also said, that when he started his apprenticeship with the gas board, he was told that the North Sea had so much gas it would never run out in his lifetime or that of his children.”
Could he have been correct in this assertion?
Perhaps the North Sea has a lot more gas (and oil) than is currently being admitted to?
Probably lots of both remain — slight problem — how to extract it at a reasonable cost.
This is awesome. I like how the guy is such a globalist he has to say “in some geographies” instead of “in some countries”.
https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/wef-orders-journalists-to-cease-and-desist-exposing-their-secret-agenda/
Well spotted, Kim!
‘Geographies’.
Such an Illuminati-ing turn of phrase…..
Well, I have a country, a pais, a patria: it’s the land under my feet which I paid for and will own until I die.
I can understand why the World Economic Forum doesn’t want their agenda discussed widely.
This is more fakery — it creates the perception that they didn’t want any of this discussed – even though WEFers including Claws Snob have discussed it endlessly.. he even stated they have people in place in every government…
You can see how ordering people to ‘stop exposing the secret agenda’ makes people believe the Great Reset is the actual plan…???
Honestly in my surrounding, you cannot have a serious debate or discussion with anyone who has been vaccinated. In fact, it gets worse over time. It might be due to the vaccine itself (??). Cannot stay on topic, digressing, rubbish suggestions, etc.
It is seriously lonely. The way Norman writes, it is identical to what I am seeing here. The plus point for Norm is that he is old. What I am experiencing, they are not old.
I think it has always been like this. Only that it is part of “normality” and we dont notice or think about it.
I’d agree, it’s all perfectly normal: we just didn’t notice because everyday life does not consist of the serious discussion of important topics requiring reflection and independent thought.
So, most people we thought were reasonably intelligent get exposed as mere empty vessels.
Almost all CovIDIOTS I know are boosting .. I know of maybe two who are off of it because they are mates of my mate with the wrecked heart. They are afraid…
Most are digging in hard on their delusional thinking… and dismissing/ignoring the injuries and deaths
And yes norm is par for the course.. too bad he won’t go on record informing us why he continues to poison himself with this garbage…
It would be fascinating to hear his explanation.
My general impression is that the vaccines have had a somewhat favorable impact on the 85+ group, even if they were worse than useless for other age groups. If this is true, Norm’s action makes perfect sense.
When I look at the data, however, it looks like results vary quite a bit by country.
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/excess-mortality-p-scores-projected-baseline-by-age?country=USA~DEU~GBR~ITA
In the earliest cases of Covid, older folks were vastly over-represented. Once the vaccines were given, this effect started to become lessened. It is not clear that this is because of the vaccine, however. The most vulnerable patients had already died in the first round. So it could be some of each. Also, the virus was gradually producing less severe illness, with or without the vaccine.
In the chart above (which is hard to read, with the UK, Germany, Italy, and the US all shown), Germany had remarkably fewer deaths among the elderly in he first round of cases than the other countries. More recently, it has tended to have more deaths among the elderly.
The thing that is disturbing is that all causes of death remain generally above the baseline for all age groups. Even now, with all of the vaccines given, all causes of death remain stubbornly high, for essentially all age groups. The US has recently had a temporary lull in excess deaths, primarily because of below-average deaths for the 85+ age group. Perhaps they died off earlier?? But the UK and Germany have recently been reporting high excess deaths among the 85+ group. So the vaccines are not proving as effective as hoped on an all cause of death basis.
https://goldenageofgaia.com/2021/03/03/israeli-health-ministry-pfizer-vaccine-killed-about-40-times-more-elderly-than-the-disease-itself-would-have-killed/
That being said, who am I to stop anybody for jabbing themselves to death?
The elderly were put to death using various drugs including RemDEATHisNEAR and Midazolam… the purpose of this was to drive up the deaths (while lying and saying the young were as at risk as the old disease bags)….
To generate fear…
The fear was leveraged – along with restrictions — to encourage the uptake of the Death Shots.
The death numbers were gamed from day one — therefore pointing at lower deaths now in the elderly is in no way an indication that the vaccines provided any benefit to them.
They can’t very well keep murdering tens of thousands of old disease bags now that most people are fully injected… otherwise the MOREONS will work out that the injections are not working.
norm – say thanks for Gail for trying to answer on your behalf.
mummy mummy … can you answer for me … the bad boys of OFW are bullying me again!!! Pathetic
I had a discussion with a vaxxed about the point if there might be something in the vax affecting the brain. The toxoplasmosis parasite is doing so by changing the dopamin levels. There is the idea running around that this might be possible with modRNA, too.
He seemed to be interested in the beginning, then he said, there is absolutely no necessity to assume that.
We laughed a lot!
One of my big concerns at the start of the mRNA injections was the potential for prion disease. From memory, mouse models showed that this would happen 18 – 24 months post injection. So maybe now we are starting to see the signs of it emerging in some individuals.
There were 150 cases of CJD identified in France following the jab which led to a paper identifying a prion sequence in the mRNA injections.
I hold out some hope that most will be OK due to poor transfection rate from mRNA into spike protein on cells. But we shall see.
See norm.
Very interesting, thanks!
AstraZeneca was admitted 30. Dec. 2020 in UK and 29. Jan. 2021 in EU. Pfizer 2. Dec. 2020 in UK, 11. Dec. 2020 in USA, 21. Dec. 2020 in EU.
If we say injections started in January 2021 we should see cases between July 2022 and February 2023.
Symptoms:
– difficulty walking caused by problems with balance and co-ordination
– slurred speech
– numbness or pins and needles in different parts of the body
– dizziness
-vision problems, such as double vision
– hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren’t really there)
Does this equal to ‘long covid’?
I don’t discourage the injections… that is futile… + I want to see what happens as people inject the Super Booster….
You know how kids dissect frogs while they are still alive? It’s like that but instead the humans suffer.. frogs never hurt anyone
And Hoolio is back up on the ironing board… what’s with that?
Why bother trying to discuss it? People made their choices. Best thing to do is agree to disagree and move on. I avoid the subject best I can and that has worked fairly well. Nearly everyone I know is jabbed and so far all of them are fine. The danger of both the vaccine and of covid is exaggerated from what I’ve seen. Just enjoy the BAU life while it lasts. These are the good times.
Exaggerated??? hahahaha more people of working age have died in the US alone in a single year that died in the entire vietnam war because of the injections hahahahaha
There have been more deaths and injuries from this vax compared to all vaxxes since the beginning of time
well CTG, at least I don’t subscribe to the notion that we are all part of a simulation.
On or off OFW, I discuss stuff that is going on all around us right now, most seem to agree we are in a mess, one way or another.
But trust me, I never, ever suggest that we do not exist at all, and that we are part of a galactic computer game—or whatever.
You’ve brought up that notion lots of times, on and off OFW, –you may recall that I’ve respected that as ‘your opinion’ and never contradicted it. (none of my business) It would have been bad manners to laugh during face to face conversations, despite, at times, me wondering what you were going on about. re ‘simulations’.
I do not doubt your intellect CTG, But as you have now chosen to include me in ” rubbish suggestions”, you must allow me to ridicule such a crackpot concept. No wonder you are lonely, with ideas like that.
Have you considered joining the flat earth society??–I’m sure you would be welcomed with open arms.
The concept that vaccination affects mental agility reflects on your mental agility CTG, and is utterly ludicrous.
Try to stop falling down eddys rabbit hole. You do yourself no favours.
We have no doubt about your intellect either norm… it barely exists
See how Norman changes the subject again in an attempt to not answer a straightforward question.
Character assassination, ridicule AND unsolicited advice, ALL in one short, sharp sarcasm-laden package.
Well done, Norman. You are a class act.
Please give my compliments to the geek who programs your avatar.
word association … norm:
pathetic, worn out, old, diapers, Super Snatch, illogical, boosters, spiked brain, attic, basement, delirious, delusional, dementia, degraded, hopeless, boring, repetitive, plagiarism, dull, humourless, confused….
well Tim
if you subscribe to the belief that we don’t exist at all—as CTG does, (other than as a simulation) who am i to offer conflict to such powers of reason?
Based on some comments you make, such a concept would make perfect sense.
I fact, that the only way that your comments would make sense I think. That your thought processes are directed by a force beyond your control. (and by definition, mine too of course).
Thus your controller (we each have one) directs you to find fakery in everything—hence, moonloonery, JFK, UFOs, WTC, global warming, and all the rest of it.
While my controller directs me to think the opposite.
Which of course would add much mirth to the beings who are running this earth-game.
If you are to dismiss CTG’s theory then you will need to explain how we came about in the first place.
Now this is a question I do not expect you to answer
Someone who believes humankind does not exist at all, tells me that I am mentally deficient? Ridicule? You cannot be serious?
And i am supposed to accept, unconditionally, the notion that vaxxing somehow affects mental acuity?
Because you tell me it does?
All my comments in this context are reactive Tim, they are never proactive. You will have been too eager to leap to your keyboard to notice that I think.
Read back before you press ‘post’—there’s a good chap.
( I always do btw)
As the fascinating link you attached on another thread, where the ‘intelligence officer’ stirs up JFK again, and UFOs again. Here we go again.
Funny how these guys retire then write a book.
Using material, that if it really was secret, they would be unable to use.
The vax gives you an excuse – take it.
eddy
only this morning i received a covid 19 vax booster invite
wadja think?
are they out to get me? Is it a plot by ‘the elders’?
i await your expert advice on this matter—i wouldn’t like my intellect to be further diminished
on the other hand, if i am only a simulation anyway–whats the point?
But norm … you just had your 5th… do ya think it’s too soon for the 6th????
Well… ok… just do it… Safe and Effective right?
But be sure to Just Say No if it goes … sideways.. and they offer you RemDeathisNear… you call FE if they try to force that on your good self.
BTW – they stopped messaging and calling me with ‘We noticed you’ve not had your Covid vaccinations – call ____ to book an appointment’ — after I called ____ (big mistake providing a telly number huh)… and fired a load of dynamite down the line exploding it in their faces…
Nope they don’t call old Fast no more… and they’ve worked out to remove my number from the spam list.
Word on the street is that the asylum has an entire ward filled with hotline ladies, doctors and nurse who’ve been accused of mass murder by FE and are now…… mentally ill.
Fast Eddy — feeling so good about this — called the asylum the other day and enquired about naming rights to the ward — specifically asking – how much $$$ would you need to rename that floor The Fast Eddy Insane Asylum for Covid Vaccine Mass Murderers (with severe mental illnesses).
Fast Eddy? FAST EDDY???? shrieked the lady. Then she covered the phone but I could hear her say ‘it’s Fast Eddy…’ then in the background I could hear a chant of ‘kill kill kill’… growing louder as the Mentally Ill gathered in the lounge…
‘KILL KILL KILL’…. then I could hear what sounded like a riot … smashing windows and furniture…more screams of KILL KILL KILL … (I thought I heard anna’s voice…)
Then I could hear the guards arriving and shouting at them to stop… and the batons cracking bones as they herded the Mentally Ill … back into their cages (where they belong)…
Then the singing lady came with her banjo and a one a two a one two three four … altogether now …
I’ve been workin’ on the railroad
All the livelong day
I’ve been workin’ on the railroad
Just to pass the time away
Can’t you hear the whistle blowin’
Rise up so early in the morn
Can’t you hear the captain shouting
“Dinah, blow your horn”.
F789 off… we don’t want to sing .. we want to Kill Kill Kill said one of the … Mentally Ill doctors… ya we don’t wanna sign no more said anna? F789 off and die.
Then I could hear a loud rattling metallic sound… as if hundreds of Mentally Ill people were… grabbing the bars of their cages… and shaking them violently….
Hello… hello? Are you still there? I was just asking how much to…. click.
Well that’s strange — why would they hang up on the gift horse.
Perhaps I will call back later… when everyone’s calmed down
At least you could be a somewhat entertaining “simulation”, or embodiment of evolutionary process for once in a while.
No hate, just sayin.
Classic master suppression “technique”.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_suppression_techniques
“The master suppression techniques is a framework articulated in 1945 by the Norwegian psychologist and philosopher Ingjald Nissen.[1] These techniques identified by Nissen are ways to indirectly suppress and humiliate opponents. In the late 1970s, the framework was popularized by Norwegian social psychologist Berit Ås,[2] who reduced Nissen’s original nine means to five, and claimed this was a technique mostly used in the workplace by men against women. Master suppression techniques are defined as strategies of social manipulation by which a dominant group maintains such a position in a (established or unexposed) hierarchy.”
Simply claim that the master suppressors are mentally ill.
Which is true by any metric.
They’ve got a desire to impose their narrative on others. A typical monkey business 101 “tactic”.
It is the ultimate “cope”. A lowest common denominator for the clinically insane.
Fucking loonies and their egotistical fantasies, cope and hope.
🤢🤮
what you are experiencing CTG, is people disagreeing with you.
It happens all the time. (The subject of disagreement is irrelevant)
Some people accept that as ‘normal’ (which it is of course)
It drives others into an unreasoned rage…(as on OFW)–how dare you disagree with me? You must be a pedophile.
Or maybe you think that is ‘normal’. I assure you it isn’t.
It has nothing to do with disagreeing — you’d have to respond to disagree.
Norm, I have decided not to discuss “serious stuff” with you because you aren ot focused on the questions ask. I tried to engage you over the last few months but to no avail. I ask A, B and C and you talked about energy, energy and energy.
So, what is there to discuss?
Me Too!
I realized that norm is unable to engage in any sort of serious discussion or debate…
That’s why I mostly focus on very base topics with norm … including Super Snatch… norm’s ongoing fascination with all things pedo ….interspersed with taunts about the ‘Safe and Effective’ injections…
Notice how norm diligently responds to all of these topics? Clearly this is where his interests lie.
If you stay within those parameters … frustration and disappointment will be avoided.
CTG
There are numerous problems that beset us right now.
If you can extract one that doesn’t link back to energy depletion, usage, shortage, conflict or something on similar lines, i would be interested to know about it. This is why my replies, in basic terms, revert back to that.
we can’t escape it—-we do not live in a money economy, we live in a surplus energy economy. (to plagiarise Tim Morgan).
We are in serious trouble.
Calling it all a hoax, conspiracy and all the rest invites my ridicule. It’s worth nothing more. Endless Covidrama diverts attention from our main problem.
i wasn’t aware that you had tried to engage with me directly on certain matters. I have no recall of that at all.
if you had, i know that i would have responded, i always do. Though I don’t read or engage with every comment thread on OFW, so chances are I missed something.
In any event please accept my apology for any misunderstanding in that respect.
Adverse comments by me are invariably reactive, never proactive.
huh?
CTG has berated you multiple times for not responding to his questions … and you are claiming you didn’t see any of that????
Never mind … we are in mourning over the Death of a Parasite. hahaha

The propaganda here is incredible: I look at the newspaper headlines in the supermarket, and they are trying to present her as a Messiah.

No, by Easter…..boom, boom!
OK. Details are in. GBP120billion to subsidize. Here are some problems
1. Once that money is created, it will make GBP worth even less since this is direct money printing (so called “borrowing”)
2. With just 1 day of storage for gas and UK has to buy electricity from EU, do es UK even have enough to use this winter? i.e. it does not matter how expensive it will be if there is no supply
3. Buying electricity from EU, assuming, it is available, will EU take GBP as a payment ? USD or EURO? Haha.. converting from GBP to Euro will cause a big problem
4. Subsidizing means no one will be thrifty.
I think this is definitely desperation.
There are so many comments in ZH that if the West apologize to Russia, then all will be fine and dandy. I doubt so.
1. Energy prices still high in Asia (see my other comments).
2. Japan is still not open to tourist. So is China. COVID? come on… I am not a child.
3. I think the energy problem is really getting out of hand and the natives are restless.
Seriously I think WEF is nothing more than a smokescreen to distract the masses. The politicians (lower level) must have miscalculated how serious it is. The “elders” perhaps know that it can be a problem but since there is no way to resolve this issue, they just come out with COVID, lockdowns, UKR, etc.
Welcome folks, end game is here. UK is f678ed. So is EU.
Trillions In “Liquidity Support Is Going To Be Needed” As Swiss, Finns Join Europe’s Bailout Brigade

2. With just 1 day of storage for gas and UK has to buy electricity from EU, do es UK even have enough to use this winter? i.e. it does not matter how expensive it will be if there is no supply
The gas we buy is regasified in the UK and sent to Europe where they have storage.
The problem we have is that without Russian gas pressurising the system, we might not be able to get any gas at all from Europe this winter. So our gas would be stuck in storage there.
We could be in pretty big trouble at this point. I know I depend on gas to get through the winter.
For cooking, butane gas cartridges are still reasonably priced, for use on a camping stove – and they are dirt-cheap still.
A hot water bottle or two can make all the difference to comfort, it’s quite surprising.
The worst thing about NS gas is that it’s made everyone rather soft – and include myself in that up until a few years ago.
Thick woollen shooting socks are the warmest around, and if you can get them cotton country shirts with a fleece lining are fantastic for keeping heat in – not expensive either.
According to the article:
“‘We’re not going to allow them to charge you anymore for your energy on a per unit basis, and what we will do as Government is to foot the difference.’”
This sounds like opening up the printing press. Does it work for a little while? Does the UK pound drop correspondingly? Does it add more pressure to the very poor countries (like Sri Lanka) that cannot do the same thing?
nation after nation has printed money to buy energy (the energy form itself is irrelevant).
it has never worked.
How much energy prices have gained in the last year:
➡️ European natural gas futures: +335%
➡️ Asian LNG spot: +255%
➡️ European coal futures: +180%
➡️ Asian coal spot: +157%

Superfit Scots doctor dies after having heart attack while swimming in loch
Mike Wilson, 46, was training for a triathlon when he had a heart attack and died at Lochindorb in Grantown-on-Spey.
A superfit Scots doctor died after having a heart attack while swimming in a loch.
Mike Wilson, 46, was pulled from Lochindorb in Grantown-on-Spey at around 12.55am on Thursday, August 18. It’s understood Mike, known as Kippy to pals, was training for a triathlon when he died.
The dad-of-two was reported missing as emergency services were called out to search the water, but he was later pronounced dead at the scene. Mike, from Aberdeen, was a doctor at Dr Grays Hospital in Elgin and leaves behind his heartbroken wife and two daughters.
https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/superfit-scots-doctor-dies-after-27891460
UPDATE: Mike Wilson was swimming and the loch ness monster emerged from the water gave him such a shock that he SADS’ed
The family asks for donations to the SADS fund. They don’t know what the funds will be used for because there is no research being done into preventing SADS because they have no idea what causes it.
It is now the leading cause of death everywhere.
“at Lochindorb in Grantown-on-Spey”
That was part of my playground when a teenager. Lochindorb is about 10 miles from Grantown by road, slightly less as the crow flies.
There is a ruined castle still in pretty good condition (for a medieval building) on the island, home of the Alexander Stewart aka ‘Wolf of Badenoch’ (1343 – c. 20 July 1405), “who was the third surviving son of King Robert II of Scotland”. He was a typical noble of the time: “Alexander married the widowed Euphemia I, Countess of Ross, but they had no children. He did have a large family by his longtime mistress, Mairead [pronounced marry] inghean Eachainn. Alexander was Justiciar of Scotia for a time, but not an effective one. He held large territories in the north of Scotland before eventually losing a large part of them. Alexander is remembered for his destruction of the royal burgh of Elgin and its cathedral. His nickname was earned due to his notorious cruelty and rapacity, but there is no proof that it was used during his lifetime.”

Anyway, another young-ish person has gone to meet their maker.

This video that Herbie posted is entitled: “RUSSIA – Oil & Gas OLIGARCHS DYING in Series of Russian SUICIDES & MURDERS From Start of Ukraine War” and is probably an interesting video to watch. I seem to remember seeing someone in the know suggesting, earlier this year, that Putin might see the current events as an opportunity to ‘sort out’ the oligarchs that he has never liked, and that might be the case.
But…
Here are the titles of some other videos Joe has posted on YT recently:
1/ RUSSIA – G7 Announce OIL PRICE CAP to DESTROY Russian Oil Revenue WITHOUT Affecting Global Oil Price [you must be joking]
2/ RUSSIA Will Lose BILLIONS in ARMS SALES After Ukraine. Despite Putin Claims Of Advanced Technology (haha)
3/ RUSSIA Shoots Itself in the Foot as NORDSTREAM 1 Pipeline to Germany is CLOSED & Shut Down Starts [you must be joking]
4/ RUSSIA Heading for ECONOMIC OBLIVION According to YALE MANAGEMENT Review on IMPACT OF SANCTIONS [you must be joking]
Russians oligarch dying – it might be possible that the West are killing them and hope that people can blame it on Putin….
Dr. Chris Shoemaker: THIS MAY BE THE FINAL TRUTH I GIVE YOU
I only learned 48 hours ago, a certain fact: I always thought there were a thousand, at most 10,000 of these mRNA things going into your body to generate a immune response. E.g in Polio you only need 80 viral entities to produce an acceptable immune response
The number of slippery particles with mRNA spike protein generating crap in them is 43 thousand billion (43,000,000,000,000); that’s how many mRNA blue prints go into everyone’s arm every 3 to 6 to 9 months
Protect yourselves. Don’t take these shots; they’re immune damaging, we all know it

When the jabs came out I listened to an interview with a US-professor for microbiology, I forgot her name. She said, that theoretically it must be possible that the modRNA jumps into the germline and that the seen raise in aborts might be caused by babies with such a grade of genetical damage that they are unviable.
By the way it seems possible that the man made modRNA not only jumps into the DNA and germline but could be part of the DNA of their kids and children’s children.
For me who feels the symbolic aspects very intensely, the word “transhumanism” has gotten another meaning. In know, you all think of a chip implanted into brains, but I see artificial genetical sequences implemented into the human germline. It might cause mutations but will probably just switch off randomly genes, probably genes that help to prevent cancer. We wont get an Übermensch but subhumans, slaves. With artificial DNA, are they robots with a reduced lifespan that should never mix with the healthy ones not to destroy the healthy germlines?
I am an atheist but my whole body screams, how can you do this with God’s creation? The Vatican supports these injections, how can they not see that?
I can just cry, thinking about it.
“I am an atheist but my whole body screams, how can you do this with God’s creation?”
If you accept agency, choice, then it follows that they did it to themselves from various character flaws and mental illnesses.
Which is to say that “god” wants to rid itself of imperfection, or as an atheist; they strolled straight into an evolutionary trap.
One simply can’t exist in an egotistical fantasy la-la Eden land within evolutionary process. Sooner or later a snake is going to tempt you with a ‘poisoned’ apple.
And within temptation is truth.
Our wishes of how things should be cannot override the dictates of “god” or evolutionary process, depending on your perspective.
Rather worry about the living than the dying.
God favors the best adapted.
I am not only worried about the dying, but about the next generation of transhumans with vaccine damage that has jumped into DNA, which must not mix with the genetic material of the healthy for millennia. Subhumans, slaves!
Chimeras of man and virus, whose genetic damage must not contaminate the genome of the ‘pure’ human being, because they will develop cancer soon? Does this not result in a division of the human race into those who descended from the vaccinated and those who descended from the unvaccinated?
Still it is a speculation, but it seems possible.
How can anyone “create” such a thing?
I assume you think it is exactly the same content in each vial?
Let’s not forget the virus either.

Covid-19 Injections in Pregnant Women Lead to 8X Increase in Spontaneous Abortions and 3X Increase in Stillbirths
A retrospective analysis of a vaccine dataset was published by NEJM in June 2021 (https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2104983). This studied 827 pregnancies, 700 of which received injections
The study falsely concluded that there were no safety signals for pregnancy. To find the truth you would need to skip the paper’s text and go to Table 4 (https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2104983) which reveals:
🔺 It’s impossible for spontaneous abortions to occur in (the 700 women injected in) the 3rd trimester so the 104 miscarriages can be all attributed to the 127 women from 1-2 trimester
🔺The correct calculation, removing 700 subjects not relevant for spontaneous abortions (included in NEJM study to hide the result) reveals the rate as a staggering 82%
🔺That’s 8x increase on the 10% normal rate
🔺In the 700 group of 3rd trimester pregnancies, the rate of stillbirth is ~1.5% (norm is ~0.6%). The injected women experienced about a 3x increased rate
https://t.me/childcovidvaccineinjuriesuk/2115
This one is actually interesting. Table 4, if I am interpreting it correctly, does look horrendous indeed.
“A total of 700 participants (84.6%) received their first eligible dose in the third trimester.”
So of the 827 participants, only 127 got the jab in the first or second trimester. These participants would be grouped under “spontaneous abortion” (under 20 weeks) or “stillbirth” (greater than 20 weeks) if the pregnancy doesn’t go to term. Among these 127 women, there were 104 spontaneous abortions.
Only one stillbirth was reported among all 827 participants so that category can be largely ignored during analysis.
The study involved 3958 pregnant and vaccinated participants, of which 827 had completed pregnancy during the trial, of which 127 received their first dose in the first or second trimester, of which 104 were spontaneous abortions (and possibly one stillbirth).
From this data, the Telegram post (or whoever is the original author) concludes that the rate of spontaneous abortion for women vaccinated in the first or second trimester was a staggering 82% (= 104 / 127).
This sensationalist claim uses the same trick as the similar claim we’ve discussed recently (Dr. Kory). The duration of the trial was just 11 weeks, which is less than one trimester (~13 weeks). This means that none of the women vaccinated in their first or second trimester could complete a full term (~40 weeks) during the trial. Consequently, only a small minority of these pregnancies could possibly result in live birth – even if no vaccines were involved at all.
Which means that the ‘staggering’ abortion rate by itself says nothing.
Okay good call. I didn’t see that the data is between Dec 20, 2020 and Feb 28, 2021. Crisis averted!

Germ & Terrain Reality. Is SARS CoV2 real?
Do viruses exist? Is SARS COV2 real? What causes “infectious” diseases: germs or terrain? These are important questions, that must be resolved.
Thank you for receiving this newsletter. We have two items to share today.
Post 1:
The enemies of mankind, the global predators, the perpetrators of covid; would love to see us divided and confused.
Over the last month I have dedicated much of my time to suspending what I thought I knew, and having a fresh open-minded detailed study of these matters. I have consulted with other doctors and scientists. We have met in teams. I have attended lectures, debates, and working groups.
At last, I have strong and confident thoughts on these subjects, that I wish to share with you. Here are my succinct conclusions: https://drtrozzi.org/2022/09/05/germ-terrain-reality-is-sars-cov2-real
Post 2:
Dr Rob Verkerk PhD is a colleague, friend, and health scientist whom I greatly respect. He and I are two members of one team of scientists who have been meeting, studying, and constructively debating these questions. Here are Dr Verkerk’s conclusions presented in a very well organized article: https://drtrozzi.org/2022/09/05/does-the-virus-exist-a-critical-need-for-resolution
“Does the virus exist?” is not high on my list of priorities.
I dedicate this to norm ….
Moderna aims to give investors extra boost with 6-in-1 superjab
“A six-in-one super jab that will protect against strains of Covid-19, flu and respiratory syncytial virus — similar to a cold — could be introduced by winter 2025, the UK boss of pharmaceuticals giant Moderna has said.
Moderna is desperate to convince investors it can sustain sales of its MRNA vaccines as appetite wanes for booster jabs.”

Boosters to Norm is like Viagra to Hugh Hefner
Hefner’s Bunnies were real, so there was an immediate, tangible pay-off for taking Viagra.
But what benefit does poor old Norm get from an injection?
The thrill of courting death or injury. Same reason people play Russian Roulette.

German Economy Minister Habeck says: “we must expect the worst” at the press conference about the country’s electricity security.
And now the interesting part of this.
Germany supplies most of it’s neighbours with electricity.
https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1566828570495836161
Germany has 100 years of lignite coal in open-pit mining, easily to obtain.
I did a calculation some time ago of how much coal the US has. With generous factors for accuracy of stated reserves, cumulative extraction viability, and energy conversion efficiency, the US has something like 60 years worth if it were to transition all energy generation to coal – nothing like the 200+ years often bandied about, and that’s apart from the enormous environmental damage.
So now I am automatically a bit skeptical of coal claims from any nation.
At what price. Did I mention my coal costs increased nearly 25% – in a year.
Lots of oil remains – if only the market could handle $200/barrel.
It can’t
The age of fossil fuels is ending — 8B will soon be on the streets in the dark starving and angry… if UEP fails
It will turn out everywhere that a lot of what was thought to be reserves can’t be extracted and transported without burning too much diesel in the process.
Coal reserves are hard to measure. They always tend to disappear, when companies try to use them. It has to be cheap to extract and inexpensive to ship to where it is needed. There can’t be big, important things built on top of the coal. The price has to be high enough.
Coal production in most parts of the world has started to decline, even with very high reserves. The coal that is left tends to be of very poor quality and far from where it is to be used.
I won’t challenge that … except that lignite is garbage coal.
Can Germany supply the entire world? Maybe they should ring the Chinese and cut a deal to sell some to them?
Lignite is garbage so you have to mine a lot of it. Don’t forget the huge amount of diesel you have to burn to get it.
We are scraping the bottom of the barrel everywhere now.
Can you provide a link please?

This is another “must watch” interview (45 minutes).
John Mark Dougan says: “This is my most powerful interview yet. I took Maria, a fierce liberal, anti-war protester to the FRONT LINES of the war in the Donbass to see things for herself, to speak to the people for herself. This woman, with balls of steel, even walked with me through the streets of Svyatogorsk, with Ukrainian snipers just 200 meters away, to speak to civilians trapped in their basements and bring them food. How much of what she believed was right? Or wrong? This is an interview you must see to believe.”
“A guy who is a counsellor, an adviser to the head of the Donetsk People’s republic. His name was Ian Gagin, and he is a high-rank military official. A very knowledgable person, a very smart guy. He helped us a lot. We ent together to Mariupol to deliver humanitarian help. And during this trip, he went to a school and found a bunch of books there in the school library, and brought those books, and showed those books to us. And this interview was about these findings.
“These books are aimed at children from schoolchildren from probably seven years old until the time they finish school. So they are different levels, starting from just books with pictures because little children, they think in images. They don’t really read much, but they remember pictures. To history books to all kinds of analytical books. So it is that literature that is needed for education, and it is clear that from an early age, IT GETS PUT INTO THE BRAINS OF CHILDREN how we [Russians] are enemies with [of] Ukraine. That we are not brother nations like Russians think, that we have zero common cultural background—that doesn’t exist—that we are enemies, that we [Russians] should be hated, that we are basically being dehumanized in their [Ukrainians] eyes from an early age on.
“And then you see the other side; what is taught to the kids in Ukraine. Imagine seeing that, for someone who went to school and learned there that, well, there was Kievskaya Rus, Kiev Russia; that Kiev is the mother of all Russian cities. There is a stone in Kiev with an engraving on it: ‘from here the Russian land begins.’ You know! And then you see the other side; what is taught to the kids in the Ukraine.”
A thousand apologies!! That first “And then you see the other side…” sentence is erroneously inserted there. She didn’t say it twice.
I’ve been assured many times that Ukraine isn’t a n@zi country and they don’t teach the children to act like n@zis, as can be seen in this proud young man saluting his heroes and before anyone points to the girls, I’m told that in Ukraine they practice the motionless wave.

NATO will ‘teach’ whatever ideology advances its own power, the same in USA and Britain and everywhere else as in Ukraine. Racism/ anti-racism, whatever allows the bourgeois states to advance their power. All doctrines are the same in that regard. It is not something that you are supposed to know, and your mind will probably erase it anyway.
Very true, Mirror. States only stumble across morality by chance….
Im sure any anti-war sentiment here in the USA is now considered dangerous extreme MAGA thinking. Thats the beauty of it because no one knew what the f*** it was anyway even the people wearing the baseball caps. It was created as a vague nebulous concept for a purpose and now its qualities suite it well for another purpose. Brilliant! Anything inconvenient- MAGA. Rodger echo six MAGA status confirmed guns cleared.

“As I examined in the first part of that video discussion, war propaganda stimulates the most powerful aspects of our psyche, our subconscious, our instinctive drives. It causes us, by design, to abandon reason. It provokes a surge in tribalism, jingoism, moral righteousness and emotionalism: all powerful drives embedded through millennia of evolution. The more unity that emerges in support of an overarching moral narrative, the more difficult it becomes for anyone to critically evaluate it. The more closed the propaganda system is — either because any dissent from it is excluded by brute censorship or so effectively demonized through accusations of treason and disloyalty — the more difficult it is for anyone, all of us, even to recognize one is in the middle of it.”

This inflation/deflation thing.
Perhaps it is not inflation of energy, but deflation of monetary assets, including Ag/Au.
What does Europe have to trade for natural gas? German machine tools go mostly to China as I understand it, the other nations, what do they bring to the table? The US brings its own natural gas.
Natural gas still has the same energy content, it is what it is converted to that is the value added. Heating a home for a worker who produces nothing does not add value for the seller of natural gas.
Could it be what we are seeing is an elimination of layers between the consumer and producer of natural gas? What do those layers add?
There seems to be a great deal of make work, ultimately someone with resources doesn’t wish to pay for that. Can those who add value in excess of the cost of natural gas go their own way? Musk states the state has a monopoly on violence: if there is no money for the violence does it effectively cease to maintain the issuers of currency?
Does HR add much value? Would anyone miss it if it went away? We have a self proclaimed “radical” city in the US which is having water problems. What value does the organization provide to the citizens? Maybe nothing of value. If there is no water, nothing is produced, how do the city officials go about their radical programs? No water and people will simply move away; one becomes an official of a ghost down.
UK is going to have an economic crisis we are told. Who pays the officials? If there is no velocity, there would appear to be no skim internally and no takers for paper externally. Bummer.
Interesting times. Looking for comments, please feel free to poke holes in arguments.

I expect to see assets, in general, deflating in value. Debt will be collapsing, and, in fact, pulling asset prices down. In general, the world will be headed for a world in which asset prices are approaching zero and liability prices are headed for zero.
Commodities will still tend to have some value, especially food, water, and firewood. Also, materials to patch existing homes, to the extent that they are falling apart with time.
People with commodities to trade will want to trade with other people with commodities to trade. They won’t want gold for food, they will want water, or firewood, or something to patch a hole in an existing roof. Manual labor to get desired commodities will be in demand. I have a hard time seeing today’s banks being able to withstand the changes.
Strange not yet collapsed
The economy holds together better than any of us would expect. I suppose that everyone is looking out for their own good. Businesses may not be doing very well, but they haven’t completely defaulted yet.
“any of us”?
I’m not the only OFW regular who thought that economic collapse was years away.
I mean, there’s me and… well, pardon my aging memory, there’s me and… you know, that other guy.
anyway, I should renew my membership in the Doomer Club, as I have become much too optimistic.
Marco!
dude, are you okay?
you still have some internet access, so that must mean something?
Hey Marco whats shaking! I thing you summed up in a dozen words every comment for a decade. Ha. Just kidding.
We need to factor in the very nasty men with guns and ammo who will take all the materials and kill anyone who opposes them (and rape the women… of course)

I was chatting to a new neighbour a few houses away: nice chap, about 45, similar interests, already filling his garage with coal, expects the worse, an axe-aficionado, very fit and strong.
And I suddenly thought that if push came to shove he’d have no compunction in stealing food and fuel, or even killing me.
He has a wife and two pretty young daughters to feed: that would be his justification. I’m not family, so why shouldn’t he?
We have to go back to thinking like 1022 AD. Between gangs and neighbours turned feral, it won’t be nice…….
The way I touch base with what is going to happen if we go ROF is I imagine what it would be like if the police and military did not exist – the super markets were empty – and there was no petrol. diesel or electricity.
If I want to to get really real then I will search the news for stories of acts of vicious brutality … and I realize that men like that — and a lot more (even ‘good’ men will kill when they are faced with starvation)… will be rampaging — looking for chimney smoke .. a garden… any signs of life… and they will commit heinous acts.
Then I consider this is as good as it’s going to get — clawing and scratching and battling to survive — for what? It’s not as if surviving the onslaught is enough to make it through to some sort of Little House on the Prairie existence… even if the bad guys disappeared (they won’t) … what sort of life would one lead… the drudgery of washing clothes by hand … cutting and hauling wood … trying not to starve…
Surviving for the sake of surviving… f789 that.
Then there are those nasty ponds of toxic waste — which will spread cancer far and wide.
No .. none of that for Fast Eddy … it’s the Candied Fentanyl… or into the rock cut at high speed.
Fast’s mate who was mandated out of work sent a photo a couple of months ago – he’s building a substantial underground bunker and raised beds… must be just about done now … he is on board with UEP and understands that peak energy is the nature of this beast…
It’s an expected reaction when one expects the worst – but for many reasons … futile… nobody survives this… but if this sort of thing keeps people sane then why not…

After this stagflationary depression ship has sailed and the safty of the harbor is no longer visible, and after several attempts to “stabilize” the monetary system via another round of fiat, QE, or CBDCs or whatever, silver and gold will eventually make a comeback, although only after barter has been established under the table in small, decentralized towns- but not for big ticket items but just daily necessities like food. Big ticket items risk civil asset forfeiture. ventually, PMs will come around, maybe in time for my grandkids. But for the short to intermediate term, I think people may be sadly disappointed. Gail is correct.
Want gold to secure safe passage? How much will it cost? You, “I have only three ounces.” The driver “price will be three onces.” Admit to having ten ounces, then the price will be 10 ounces, IOW, “everything you’ve got.” Yeah, I’d rather have food, water, ammo, propane etc. for the short to intermediate term.
If real estate drops in value and one tries to acquire farm land for homesteading, even if you purchase it from your savings, will the govt even “allow” you to buy it, own it, or, as I posted earlier, will the FED’s Wall Street proxies like Vanguard and Black Rock snap up everything ahead of time to make us all renters who will own nothing -and be very unhappy. Ever try to get a chunk of money like $30,000, from your financial institution? Good luck if you really need it in a hurry.

Even rainwater collection and backyard chickens will be outlawed, which reminds me, I have to get a few 6’x8′ tarps, some PVC pipes and triple elbows to make a rain water collection system. The problem is, you have to deploy it when it rains, and then take it down after rain stops or your collection is topped off, otherwise, if you leave it out, you will be collecting bird poop. And the roof/gutter system, I think I’ll pass on the petrochemical and birdpoop run off contamination.
Perhaps one will live for such a short time the contamination won’t matter so much?
Every mouthful we eat, every lungful we breathe is poisoned now.
Good idea about the temporary tarps, must get moving on that.
There are mechanical do-hickeys that divert the first flush. I haven’t invested in rainwater collection since my property is along a river, but I did invest in a Berkey system + extra filters.. should work on most contaminants (not radiation, pace FE).
You can rig up a toilet-tank-style diversion system when your primary storage is full. In Italy we had a large cistern in a sort of attic that held a buffer of town water, since there had been a history of interrupted water service, and it used that sort of float/valve cutoff.
If you want to use the water for irrigation, all the better if it has bird poop.
I really really really dislike plastic tarps. Not only are they becoming pretty expensive themselves, I’ve had them disintegrate in not much more than a season, and then you have all these plastic shreds all over. I’d try to employ what hard surfaces you can (roof of a small woodshed? porch? chicken coop? car port?).
I have the same response to the materials. But whatever you could cover with tarps, you can cover with taped/glued-together cardboard. Layering with $10/gal childrens’ glue on each side of the cardboard and lining them with tin foil (which is surprisingly cheap still) costs less than the tarps, and stands up much longer term to weather.
Any ideas on how to keep the radiation out?
We are not ready to die of radiation poisoning yet. But we’re getting ready to die. We have to do things in the order that makes most sense.
I would think about buying some lightweight metal corrugated roofing.
You could make a “V” out of the panels and channel the rain into a length of gutter in the middle.
How about a roll of 6mil UV-resistant greenhouse plastic and a grommet kit? Use it for collecting rainwater and for cold frames and hoop houses.
Let’s say you use the cardboard I just described as an armature to sling the 6 mil over…it’s still a lot of work. Even two layers of flattened-out cardboard box is more flexible than ideal. You have to reinforce it with rigid elements like pvc pipes…
I am agnostic on the topic, but there seem to be a lot of incidents which are a challenge to explain:

When the covid crisis was present, the army general Vladimir Lengvarsky specalized in medicine became the minister of health of the Slovak Republic.
Now, with the energy crisis going into more and more serious depths, the liberal partay SaS leaves the Slovak government. The name of Karel Hirman, an energy expert, is mentioned as the new minister of economy of the Slovak Republic, who studied the extraction of oil and natural gas.
https://www1.pluska.sk/gal/spravy/z-domova/demisii-ministra-hospodarstva-prichadza-sok-neuverite-kto-mal-nahradit-sulika/4
https://dennikn.sk/autor/karel-hirman/
“He studied oil and gas extraction.
He worked as a manager and member of the management bodies of several Slovak energy companies and in the Slovak Innovation and Energy Agency.
He managed the project team of the EIB-financed ELENA energy efficiency project at the VÚC in Prešov.
He was an external adviser on energy to the Minister of Foreign Affairs Miroslav Lajčák and Prime Minister Iveta Radičová and, as an energy expert, a member of the team of advisers to Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Hrojsman.
He worked for the weekly Trend and regularly publishes on energy and international security issues.
He is a member of the Board of Directors of the SFPA.
He does business in the field of energy and international trade and is an expert in charge of the energy part of the upcoming pre-election program of the PS/Spolu coalition.”

Analyst Hirman: The EU’s dependence on Russian energy is a myth. There are other options and they are being negotiated
Perhaps a good move. But even those who have been involved with energy supply can miss important point, such as that the reserve numbers cannot really be believed, and that oil prices (and other prices) cannot rise to a high enough level, for long enough, to enable extraction.
But, not for all. There are some whose efforts more than cover the price of gas at almost any price.
This is a time of huge change. Farm Progress Days In Boone IA presented autonomous tractors, electric tractors mentioned by major players including president of BASF – German I do believe.

“Electric utes: The ‘BIG’ problem with EV pickups | Auto Expert John Cadogan”
let me guess… when you try to haul any weight the battery runs out of juice very quickly…
Hilarious!
Remember the clown who was working on the tractor trailer version of this hahaha
“The ‘BIG’ problem with EV pickups”
The Range Specific EV Battery Capacity (RSEVBC) is a problem. Need the usable kWh of the battery. The result comes out to be about 9.0 or 10.0.
If you need a big truck and you need to travel at least 400km,.
EV trucks not efficient at long distance driving as short distances.
Need a huge battery to make this work. But you still have to pull this battery up hills as you drive.
The bigger you make a a vehicle, the higher the proportion of the total vehicle weight that the battery needs to be.
Need bigger tires, bigger structure to make this work–can’t just add a huge battery to a traditional vehicle. So base vehicle is bigger too.
Huge battery will takes up a lot of space.
Roads (especially suburban) not designed for endless hammering by such a huge vehicle.
How do you ever recharge this huge vehicle? Takes too long? Charging stations not designed for.
Where will this electricity come from? Probably from diesel generator. But this makes no sense.
Needs to sell this for $200,000 or so. Objective performance will still be worse than with an internal combustion engine. Cannot get reasonable cost and performance, even if you throw the check book out the window.
The problem with the published reserve numbers is that we have to remember that the shale plays were supposed to make America Saudi America…
Oh .. and when things get really bad… you have to lie

“Wherever you look, the data is so ominous. And what that means in the long term— the myocarditis and the heart attacks and the dropping dead is incessant—from every country in the world, you hear every day there are reports of young people doing normal fun activities; going to the beach, going to the park, whatever—and they’re dropping dead. They’re dropping dead at their desks, at their jobs—podcasters, people on television. We’ve never had so many live broadcasts where people have dropped dead.”
“We’ve already been now a year watching European footballers collapse and die on fields—well over a thousand professional athletes in the past year. And the average, for 30 years, was 29 a year. So, how many people have to drop dead before we say’Gee, there’s something wrong here? I don’t understand why nobody’s questioning this.”
“The problem is that there are still too many people who are willing, seemingly, to show up for the shot…. This is what I don’t understand. It doesn’t seem to be a data argument anymore. All the data that I can spew; all the sources and references. It doesn’t seem to change minds. There is a psychology there.”

Deflationary: Decrease in money velocity, the dead don’t make discretionary purchases.

The dead don’t even buy food.
We might revive old traditions of offerings left at graves, and feasts near family tombs, as an economic stimulant?
Now, that is a positive, always look to the possibilities. Relief of mental grief which is real and economic stimulation in one package. Brilliant, no sarcasm, honoring one’s family is something one does out of respect for efforts of past generations.
Dennis L.
Farmland has plateaued in price, correlation? I don’t think it makes money at this level, but decrease in demand from no matter where is deflationary for this asset. Thanks for that one.
My guess is a decrease in gasoline usage leads to a decrease in ethanol demand, 40% of corn crop goes to ethanol.
Had a farmer in a previous life, president of IA Corn Growers’ Association. Ethanol was big on his list, gave a ready market for corn, cashflow.
Dennis L.
I think a major reason for “pushing” ethanol was to support farmers. This eliminated much of the need to pay farm price support. It also helped with rural votes. It substituted for MTBE as an oxygenate, raising the octane of gasoline. (MTBE tended to pollute water supplies.) Also, it somewhat extended gasoline supply in the US, helping to keep gasoline prices lower. This, of course, would help politicians and their votes.
Ethanol is subsidized with mandates. It is not popular in the oil industry.
But the maimed require a lot of medical treatment… Probably more maimed than dead this go-’round.
More deflation:

Been happening big time in poor countries… men who cannot earn enough – no matter how hard they work — to pay the bills… throw in the towel and do nothing
The wives — because they don’t want their kids to starve… work hard for peanuts… and the husbands thieve from them and blow the $$$ on vices.
“The wives — because they don’t want their kids to starve… work hard for peanuts… and the husbands thieve from them and blow the $$$ on vices.”
Perhaps in your family.
One business we operate is an employment agency … finding work for mostly women from poor countries in Asia … I’ve heard the stories told a thousand times over the years.
And yet you continue to facilitate the process.
We don’t facilitate the process — these are people (mostly women) who have virtually zero opportunities in their home countries so they take jobs overseas as domestic helpers … to support their families.
One way or another the husbands of many of them will not pull their weight… it’s up to these women not to use their $$$ to support vice.
It’s kinda like how it’s a bad idea to give $$$ to a hobo — better a sandwich – they’ll just use cash to get another round with norm’s Super Snatch SINdy.
shh…. don’t tell norm!
This happened to an Iranian friend, who married a black guy here: basically he pimped off her earnings – she had to surrender them all – and spent it on clothes and cologne for himself! Unfaithful, of course.
She had the sense – eventually – to divorce and found a much nicer Hungarian, who loves her and treats her very well indeed.
Life in Iran basically set her up mentally for being treated like dirt as a woman.
Kory’s data simply won’t make it to the MSM: people will only pay attention if they see a ‘Vaccines Kill!’ headline there, not on outlying newer media which they have been trained to dismiss, or may not even know exists.

From Fist-Bump To Fisted: Oil Surges After OPEC+ Agrees On 100Kb/d Production Cut
I don’t think that Saudi Arabia really had the ability to add the 100,000 barrels per day to production.
US Markets will be closed today for Labor Day, I expect.
Guess:
Price is immaterial if there is no oil available. No oil available means the least efficient/most discretionary sectors of the economy collapse. Collapse leads to decrease in money velocity. Inflation was secondary to QE being released into the general economy during Covid as compared to previous releases being in banking sector, read stocks, bonds, etc.
Gold/silver have gone nowhere leading to a guess, deflation. You have been in that camp for a number of years, something like a broken clock and being right twice a day; today is metaphorically your day? As I said, this is a guess on my part, I don’t play an economist on TV let alone real life.
TM has a reference to Bill Blain and GB, Blain thinks the next five days will be critical, perhaps the doomsayers are right this time, clock again.

” Oil Surges After OPEC…”
Brent was about $92/barrel a couple of days ago, now about $95/barrel. Was about about $99/barrel when Russia marched into Ukraine. ‘Surges’ seems quite strong for where the price of oil is at. It went up about 3%. The net effect of the war as of today is a fall in the price of oil.
“The net effect of the war as of today is a fall in the price of oil.”
That is the way it is, I agree.
Perhaps the timing is OPEC+’s reply to G7’s attempt to cap Russian oil prices?
As in “keep dreaming that this is going your way.”
Doge much dream, now doge much disappointed.
Such sad, many cry.

Sorry, the FT article linked above comes up with a pay window link, but the article comes up from Google News.
I understand that the UK pound is doing poorly against the dollar as well:

Sterling’s Collapse to $1.15 Shows UK Market Despair Runs Deep
There are signs of anxiety across Britain’s financial markets
Truss’s policies make UK assets less investible: Mediolanum
The FT article said:
“Dmitry Peskov, Russian president Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, said on Monday Russia’s gas supplies to Europe would not resume in full until the “collective west” lifts sanctions against Moscow.
“’The problems pumping gas came about because of the sanctions western countries introduced against our country and several companies,’ Peskov said, according to Interfax. ‘There are no other reasons that could have caused this pumping problem.'”
I wonder whether Russia will really have the supplies ever to increase the gas supplies to Europe in full. The combination of decline and exports elsewhere may play too much of a role.
I strongly agree on this suggestion. The most probable cause for all this debacle is that the assumed “russian gas” is simply not there.
Another question is about the financing of NS2, which now looks like a complete loss. According to media the NS2 was financed by “German industry”. A large pile of money will have to be written off anyway.
In the parallel universe at one of those high level conferences — Putin’s people met with the EU’s people and the Americans … they agreed we are f789ed because the gas is running short…
They reported this to the Elders … the Elders PR Team and the other minions decided it was time to launch UEP… Putin was always going to play the role of villain in the manufactured war in Uke… Claws Knob the master mind … they were all given final briefings and in Q1 covid was dumped on the world…
If you think there are a lot of people working in the NSA (rumour is around 100,000)… at least as many people are working in the ultra secret organization that is responsible for UEP. There is not a stone they have not looked under as they prepared us for the end of fossil fuels and the collapse of everything.
People have to get over believing in democracy … it’s a mirage… as if the players in the world would ever give up power to MOREONS.
A possible good guess regarding gas supply:
Deflationary or inflationary? If there is not enough energy to run an economy, assets become stranded, money is sunk and can’t come out in an income stream, less cash, less velocity.
I see it in local shopping malls, half or more vacancy, no cash flow, sunk capital. Someone is holding the bag.
Car dealerships: no cars, sunk costs in showrooms, lots for no cars except: large pickup trucks.
Hybrids: supposedly up 32% from last year. Less gas used, higher capital costs. Inflation/deflation? Fewer gallons sold, less road tax, deflationary? Don’t know how that works out in aggregate.
Electrics: if there is no electricity to charge them, sunk cost, deflationary x2. Car is worthless, owner can’t get to work, his/her money velocity goes to zero.
Note on Covid: This site seems to have gotten it right, so what have you done for me today? Old CA saying, said humorously; got it from two real Chippendales (damn, they were good looking, great tan), their mom was a patient, she moved here from south of the border, she actually lived in a trailer park, can’t make this stuff up.

“What Have You Done For Me Lately?”
John Titus strikes again confirming the new QE with evidence now provided by the FED’s own statement.
This pandemic QE is different than the original QEs 1, 2 and 3 and operation twist.
With traditional QE, the FED bought, assets (Mortgage Backed Securities and other toxic debt ) from the BANKS, thus sterilizing these bad assets and getting them off the banks’ balance sheets. Those $$ did not directly spill out into the consumer economy as they were sequestered in the banks balance sheets.
This latest orgy of pandemic QE (Biden spending) was different. The FED in effect bought up bad assets from NON BANKS, only using banks as intermediaries to make it look kosher. This released currency directly into the economy and hence the spike in inflation, if I understand John Titus correctly.
The implication is that the FED has now, through precedent, found a way to acquire assets -just as if it were a BlackRock or Vanguard.
I wonder if the FED is now deliberately orchestrating a crash in asset values so that it and its cronies can snap up assets at fire sale prices- meaning, it is incentivized to crash the economy.
I get it that CBDC offers the FED the ultimate in control over how people are taxed and how they will be allowed to spend their allotted digital currency, but it would seem that the FED and its banks would first like to get ownership of the all the true wealth- the homes, industries, farms, power generation etc. before establishing a CBDC. This current corrupted financial system may be “working” for them…at least as well as anything else they have tried, so maybe they will let it run longer than doomers anticipate, and thus no rush to establish CBDCs, at least not yet.
The Federal Reserve hired Blackrock in 2020 to buy corporate and mortgage-backed bond assets in its behalf. So, you are right. Blackrock, for all intents and purposes, is now a division of the Fed.
This makes no sense
When you have no electricity like what UK and EU is going to face, there is no use for CDBC…
Biden also sent out checks directly to people, postponed payments on student loans, postponed rent and mortgage payments, and made PPP loans to small businesses, allowing them to continue to employ workers that they could not employ without the loans. All of this pumped dollars into the system.
A major question is how long the US dollar can continue to rise, relative to other currencies, because of all of the funds added. At some point, the US looks like it is doing better than the rest of the world. The catch is that the US really depends on the rest of the world. It cannot make its own way forward. The overstretched system has to break.
Gail
I am a subscriber to “Dollar Milk Shake Theory”.
Which basically says the every other currency will crash before the dollar does at which point the system is irretrievably broken.

Oh do shut up, Norman: FE posts utter tosh and interesting links of substance, and we all know how to negotiate that mix.
The balance is in favour of the good stuff, by the way.
We would be more impressed if you would address – honestly for once – questions of substance which have been posed to you, and which you always evade.
sorry
much too busy compiling my mass murder list
(you mentioned writing utter tosh Xabier??)
More evasion, and another weak ‘joke’: how surprising, Norman.
i wasnt joking Xabier
you introduced ‘mass murder’ into all this, not me
If you were joking, you should have said so.
And I could have laughed with you
not at you, like I do with your mentor
Norman, mass murder has taken place, you just aren’t looking in the right direction.
Now, our issue with you is that when questioned as to the justification of injecting minors with repeated doses of inherently dangerous novel drugs – with no clinical justification (the important point ) you never address the issue and take refuge in lame jokes. eg that you yourself are being called a ‘mass murderer’.
Has that clarified the issue, you addle-brained old fool?
well—other OFW’ers seem to think my brain is far from addled.
Still—everyone is entitled to an opinion.
I just use your verbal flailings as a little light amusement Xabier—I have never agreed or disagreed with you on the vax stuff–this for some reason drives you into a frenzy of invective.
(None of which is returned you might notice) At least you dont do pretend cusswords, or sexual innuendo.
Yet.
Nevertheless, I seem to have out-done Herod in the baby killing department, by your judgement—and you are never wrong. Such claptrap has gone on for the last 2 years. It is worth nothing more than a gentle humour.
You will never bring out your level of rage from me. I don’t do that.
You are, like your mentor, basically harmless. I treat you as such.
The mass killing and maiming was dreamt up by you. (again Xabier–your words, not mine) I know not why. If you dont like the words, you shouldnt have used them.
I have never advocated vaxxing, or otherwise, other than for myself.
I allow myself a little fun about Bill Gates and 5 g masts, or ferrous objects sticking to skin etc. And some of the other wacky stuff.
So all this has been fermented in your own mind, which i find worrying, for your sake.
Oh come now norm … the OFWers that matter… (they know who they are…) see you as a clown… because you are … you are completely captured by the PR Team… you parrot what the BBC tells you to parrot.
So.. have you had the 5th shot? Over 75’s are eligible in the UK – righ?
Why would you continue to inject this garbage when we know it does not stop you from getting covid… being hospitalized … or dying from covid.
And there is enormous risk of damage or death from the shot itself.
Use your ‘enormous intellect’ to help us understand why you inject.
i dont need an enormous intellect eddy, when yours is so readily available to draw upon
If I was norm I’d blame Pfizer… otherwise everyone will continue to believe this is a product of lack of horse power…. these issues are beyond his ability to understand.
You know that experiment where you have a large wide container – and a tall thin container … and you fill them with water and ask a child which has more water… they always choose the tall thin one even though it obviously has less volume of water.
It’s like that. norm just cannot understand… he cannot comprehend… the cannot compute.
he thinks boosting is good – even though it is obviously dangerous and useless
This is a cue for me to post some Tosh.
as long as it isn’t the contribution link for the Alex Jones legal fund
Evidence is presented by some of the most prestigious medical and scientific minds in the world. Normans response is to talk about Jones and moon hoaxes. The is dishonest behavior but I dont know if Norman is dishonest. IMO Normans primary communication is do what the government says dont get into trouble with non approved ideas it pays great dividends. I think there is a lot of truth in that communication. IMO Normans dishonest behavior is because he believes his paradigm and part of his paradigm is to discard all things unapproved. Why open a package if you dont want the contents? Norman has lived his life the way he wanted to and has succeeded by the metrics he set. Nothing wrong with that. Thats why I say his behavior is dishonest but he is not. He is being true to the method he has chosen for success. Viewed the other way around people who value analysis more than their personal success shaft themselves. If you condemn Norman you condemn most people.
If I dont want to be condemned then I cant condemn most people. I dont have the skill of placing non approved ideas into the moon hoax box. Thus I can be considered disabled by modern society. If you regard a non approved idea as bait that could be consumed it makes sense to immediately lump something else with it so there is no possibility of being consumed. This is how most people operate and it has served them well. Its the basis of gang mentality and high school lunch room both. Most people stay with high school lunch room protocol their whole life and it serves them well. Whether its the last year of med school or even more interesting a psychologist with a masters high school lunchroom method remains. Their choice. Their body their life. Live and let live.
not altogether sure of the point you were trying to make banned—but I’ll give it a go
On the vax thing, I offer no opinion, either way, other than about such things as Bill Gates injecting people, then tracking them via his 5g masts–etc etc.
If you follow that line of thinking, then there’s nothing i can say. Its your problem.. Some actually believe it though.
On a raft of other stuff that flits across OFW–i read about moonloonery, WTC wackos, Global warming hoaxes–and so on and on.
When the people who present such nonsense as ‘true’, then offer me further ‘truth’ i am inclined to dismiss it all as rubbish, and decide for myself.
But of course refusal to accept ‘truth’ from people who’s ‘truth history’ is somewhat dubious, invites accusations of such weirdness that one can only laugh.
Which of course annoys those same people even more.
As a result, I am currently condemned for being responsible for a death toll of babies that would make Herod blush.
I find such weird thinking fascinating–which is why I tease it out of people.
And I am supposed to take this seriously, stop laughing while typing, and not make jokes about it.
“You have explained the theory behind Why Almost All Humans are Total MOREONS.”
I guess I see it different. Whom am I to judge someones method of making decisions? Often a individuals method of making decisions has produced the results they desire. But even if it doesnt its their choice. Particularly in regard to decisions about their body and health practices!
The other issue is this IMO. Having observed flaws in others decision making process one must realize that their are probably flaws in ones own perception and decision making processes. In fact I consider absolutism- Im always right they are always wrong- to be one of the major flaws of human perception and one that removes us from the PROCESS of discovery. I consider that process of discovery to be very valuable tied in with the concept of continuous improvement. If I am going down the wrong track I want to be able to see that flashing sign not be hung up on the track that has already passed. This process the the process of being open to change , open to revelation open to even divine guidance should it occur in combination with our egos and current way of perception is quite the task! To think that I have mastered it would be contrary to the task itself.
“On the vax thing, I offer no opinion, either way, other than about such things as Bill Gates injecting people, then tracking them via his 5g masts–etc etc.”
Thats not true at all Norman. Whenever good information by people with decades of experience are presented it is YOU who bring up 5g moon hoax totally out of the blue! You just did it in the post above!
“I find such weird thinking fascinating–which is why I tease it out of people.”
Like how you teased a comment out of Xabier who is not prone to below the belt attacks as you have -honestly-noted? Then use it to claim victim status?
Obvious attempts to distract from the real issues except it accents the real issues that someone is trying so desperately to distract. Why? Hmmmm
norm will not be held responsible for anything he says… nor will anyone whose brain is poisoned by the spike… they will plead mentally ill if pressed (and they will win)

Oh–and to attempt to answer any question put by your mentor, eddy,
would immediately unleash a vomitary of hundreds of addtional ‘questions’, none of which could be answered to eddys satisfaction.
The ‘rage’ of unanswered nonsense keeps fanning the flames of pseudo-indignation, wouldn’t you say?
it certainly does with you.
Wow! There’s quite a gang piling on to attack you today, Norman, isn’t there?. I won’t join them. Five against one is so un-English—not cricket, although perhaps a Rugby scrum.
lol Tim
I like your concept of ‘being attacked’
You mean being attacked by a bunch of party balloons, each one afraid of being deflated by a little prick?
you flatter them, but i guess they need flattery to maintain ego inflation.
Eddy is now reduced to quoting Tommy Robinson, Xabier has me in line for succession to the throne of King Herod, and you expect me to join the Alex Jones appreciation society. I reply, because I am fascinated at the garbage that can be churned out by ‘adults’.
Childlike beyond belief.
I’m laughing to myself (right now) typing this response.
we are hitting the wall of what I forecast 10 years ago. No BS–its all on record.
What little intellect I have, can rest on that I think.
All wars are fought over energy-resources, We are now at the (energy) start of WW3, Whether you recognise that or not, is irrelevant.
To my mind, constant covidrama posturing and pontificating reveals a mindset that is unable to grasp the real problems we are facing.
Look at norm flail … he never was much but now he’s just another brain damaged Pro Vaxxer… like a punch drunk 5th rate boxer…
Now we just wait… till the boosters get norm
c’mon eddy
even you can do better than that
can’t you come up with something original, i would have thought it would be easy, with such a towering intellect.
hardly worth my reply time. (have you checked what Robinson has to say today? )
Norman, I feel I must clarify one point. I am not a fan of Alex Jones but I do appreciate him. I appreciate the fact that he created an entire genre of swivel-eyed loud-mouthed conspiricitheorist shock jockery, and in so doing, he calved out a whole new niche in the independent media for himself, that allowed many others to follow.
When Alex came out in the late nineties, he was called out by William Cooper as an agent provocateur. William, who was a broadcaster who babbled on about secret societies—mystery schools that go all the way back to Babylon—nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more squire, later died in a shoot out with the Feds.
Many people have noticed that Alex Jones is a dead ringer for the late comedian Bill Hicks, and they also note both were Texans, both had the same manager, and Hicks died only a year or so before Jones emerged on the scene.
Others have noticed that Jones is a cartoonish figure with a possibly electronically enhanced barking voice, who is used to “blackwash” the entire alternative media and anyone who doesn’t accept the official mainstream media narrative. Don’t worry Norman, you are not in that group. You’re squeaky clean in that respect.
Others still, have noticed that he never ever calls out the Elders or the Bankers on anything, preferring to blame the Globalists and the Chinese, and that he has always been very generous in his words about the state of Israel. In this, he is all very reasonable and very kosher, don’t you agree?
Some favor him as a strong constitutionalist, a nativist (in the sense of valuing the established cultures and traditions of the US) and a nationalist, as well as a strong critic of many of the the US Federal Government’s policies both foreign and domestic. These include policies that damage or destroy people’s lives in a variety of ways—policies that I would expect any reasonable person to oppose on ethical grounds, such as torture, murder, genocide, etc., and that even people like you would only oppose for the sake of perversity.
Yet others, including his ex wife, have noted that Alex’s website sells dodgy supplements that they wouldn’t give their dog, let alone take themselves.
So there are ample reasons appreciating some of Alex’s stances, and also ample grounds for not being a fan of Alex, which I assure you I am not. I’ve told you this three times now, and I would be obliged if you would kindly do me the favor of accepting that I am sincere in my lack of adoration for the guy, so that you don’t force me to have to repeat myself on this ad nauseam, there’s a good chap.
taking the condescension of your final line, could i ask the same favour?—that i have never advocated or otherwise, vaxxing, other than for myself
i have repeated that ad nauseam–to no avail
otherwise your excuse for the existence of jones, and his ilk, is somewhat circuitous
Why would you still be vaxxing?
https://www.amazon.com/Behold-Horse-Milton-William-Cooper/dp/0929385225
A very poor response, Norman.
And, once again, failure to provide a straightforward response to an equally straightforward question on a topic of great importance.
If you yourself are going to call people who call attention to the situation internet nuts, ‘ranters’ and ‘anti-vaxxers’, if you deny that deaths and injuries are occurring on a large scale to children – in every region for which we have data – you should at least be able to defend your point of view.
Or if you believe that such harms are an acceptable price to pay for ‘the greater good’, you should have the honesty and courage to say so frankly.
Dishing out your usual insults and sneers while failing to engage in reasoned debats is just not good enough, and that’s all you do on this topic.
the only ‘topic of great importance’ Xabier
Is Xabier
Eddy has the same problem.
You constantly reveal that with every comment to me….highly amusing.
I fail to answer your ‘interrogation’ to your satisfaction, (nobody expects the Spanish inquisition)… this insults your sense of self righteousness and inflated importance.
You plant thoughts and create insults within your own mind, to keep the vax thing rolling. –because there’s no other subject you can get hold of.
Ive never advocated vaxxing, or not. This is all a matter of record.
This drives you nuts. I can’t think why.
You have referred to yourself as a Pro Vaxxer.
only for self eddy–just me
taking the last 2 years of vaxentricity, it has been 80% vaxrant—an endless vomitary of vaxxery, for no better reason than if it wasn’t for covid, eddy would have nothing to say.
hence everyone must be stuffed by the vaxidermist in chief , irrespective of inclination to seek discussion on any other subject.
eddy demands that his vaxego must be massaged every few minutes during his waking hours, to make certain that we do not lose the vaxthread as we negotiate the vaxmaze of every vaxthought, and no one gets off vaxtopic on pain of vaxecution, through the fiendish jab-berwock of blunt needles, a deliberately painful reminder that vaxonomy is the fate of anyone who allows his vaxatronic media to be erased.
The vaxalarm is on auto, for when eddy answers the call of nature, to dash back to the screen to reset the vaxcorrect button for anyone straying off-topic. It is rumoured that there is a vaxbuzzer under his pillow, going off at random during the night—that OFW inmates are not discussing covid.
The only known cure is a vaxendectopy.
But there is only a 1% survival rate for this medical intervention.
But norm…. you are the one who is infatuated and obsessed with the Vax!
hahahaha..

Winning!
Thanks for sharing this. If this is indeed the same person than i agree this not a reliable resource.
That said, Ive seen enough more reliable data to continue passing on the mRNA injections…..
It is increasingly a info-wilderness out there. In recently saw a supposedly peer reviewed published scientific article that was aimed at putting to rest reports of increased adverse reactions to these. They focused only on anaphylactic shock – thus excluding a wide Array of other reactions – and basically used a selected group of patiënts for follow-up study, limited in time to injection + a few hours and one invitation for a follow-up interview. This is already not too great, but here are the real kickers;
Exhibit A : at no Point in the entire article do the authors explicitly show if study design is adequate and it’s statistical power tot prove or disprove the tested hypothesis. After digging around it turns out that the study is trying to disprove an effect that only occurs approx. 1 : 5000 using a sample of a only 200 People. Their main
rationale – not explicitly stated to cover for the statistical power ! – was that they selected patients supossedly more likely to have such anaphylatic shock. The Hidden assumptions thus being: their supposed sensitivity is so much higher that it compensates for a shortfall of 10000 ‘s of study subjects. Even if that would not be enough to totally invalidate this study, there is the hidden assumption that patients with increased risk, would now have the same risk with a completely novel mRNA platform. Vice versa increased risk for People not specifically thought you be at risk is this completely scoped out of the study.
Subsequently they use these results to make a wide sweeping conclusie that the injections were safe and well tolerated..even though their study showed a Total of 11pc reported immediate reactions – up from 2pc in literature – in their already limited group , which is swept under the table since they did “not meet anaphylaxis criteria and most were mild and self-limiting”.
This was a Belgian study by Toon Leven published 14 february 2022. The probelm is that People are far more likely to believe Toon than Tommy, whereas both are really rather questionable.
it is the same person i assure you
One does not make a judgement based on “a guy”. Humans have something called “brain” which accordingly is an evolutionary advantage. Use it to determine what you read is believable or not. Dont waste that evolutionary advantage.
if we relate brains to evolutionary advantage, and acknowledge that humankind is headed for catastrophe, which ‘brainy’ species is likely to survive—us or termites or rats for that matter?
@ CTG
A fascinating essay was posted at the Saker.is about China’s almost miraculous achievements in just 10 years. Since your in Asia love to know your thoughts on it? Please
https://thesaker.is/ten-years-of-chinese-research-and-development-2005-2015-the-decisive-decade-to-the-top/
My two cents says that the time-period 2005-2015 was cherry-picked. (in other words, it represents an unusually good period for China.) China joined the World trade Organization in December 2001. The developed countries effectively agreed not to compete with China for manufacturing. A huge share of manufacturing was transferred from rich countries (in the name of preventing CO2 emissions in the local economies). New efficient factories were built, using inexpensive labor and inexpensive coal. China was in a position where it could both ramp up coal use and ramp up debt use, and combine these with its inexpensive labor. It became the factory for the world.
https://ourfiniteworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/iea-industrial-consumption-of-energy-2016.png
The above chart by the IEA gives a general idea of how far ahead of other countries China was in industrial production compared to the US, India, Japan, and Russia, about the end of this time period. TFC is “total fuel consumption.” Based on this chart, China’s industrial fuel consumption was as much as that of the US, India, Japan, and Russia combined at this time!! Europe isn’t shown, because this is on a country by country basis, and even Germany did not make it into the top 5.
By 2015, things were beginning to fall apart for China. Coal production hit a plateau. It has been harder to add more debt. Now, of course, China is dealing with rolling blackouts and people confined to their homes because of fear of a few Covid cases. The value of homes is starting to fall. The developers of the excess homes are finding themselves unable to deliver many of the homes they promised. As a result, people who made the down payments on these homes are stopping their payments. Banks handling all this debt are increasingly distressed. China has major problems today!
China is an invention of the west — a conscious decision was made (and was always going to be made due to choice is not an option) … to offshore manufacturing to offload pollution (the greenies sure were irritating) but more importantly to keep prices down and defeat the unions. $50 brooms don’t make sense.
China was provided with all sorts of tariff advantages as well.
If the west had not designated China as the sweat shop and turned it into a garbage dump … it would still be a poverty stricken disaster.
One would be mistaken for giving much credit to the CCP. They are a bunch of corrupt thugs
Let us say I am a person who has the power to create money or borrow money.

I look good. Don’t I. However, can I actually pay back the money?

Does Saker mention that the Chinese miracle is built on a ponzi scheme i.e. building Ghost Cities.
surplus energy (FF’s) and virtually slave labour
that describes China, but it also describes the UK, 1800s / 1900s

According to the article:
I am afraid this is important. It is likely related to all of the young deaths we have been seeing. Even the preliminary vaccine study of 2020 showed higher mortality in the vaccinated group than the control group because of heart related problems. But no one was looking at that. They just wanted to see if there might be an impact on Covid.

I do not trust ratios with a large “unknown” category.
The numbers are put out by the govt … and the govt lies.. therefore safe to assume those unknowns are vaxxed.
We know VAIDS is real so it makes sense that most ending up in the hospital are vaxxed.
You know we are at the end of the road when charts or graphs shows “Others”, “Misc” or “Unknown” as one of the biggest components and no want wants to explain what those are.
Good point!
specially when they have a history of discarding results that did not support the narrative…

“Pharmacists ‘worried’ about insufficient supply of Covid vaccine boosters” – The Telegraph reports that ahead of the national rollout, the Association of Independent Multiple Pharmacies says chemists do not have enough jabs to meet demand.

PR Team – everyone else is getting it — so should you — don’t want to miss out!
People are just plain stooopid
It works. This messaging that is. My co-workers were very excited when they managed to get their appointment for the coveted jab. They’d trade tips and strategies for elbowing their way to the front of the line. Limited quantities, while supplies last! I didn’t realize these marketing tricks really worked until now. I’m thinking it’s a status thing and those who get it first feel like they elevated their social status which feels good? Or maybe they are really fear for their life and feel like it will protect them? I’m not sure what causes people to do what they do.
This sales technique operates well when selling all kinds of goods.
I’ve used it myself, and have rarely known it fail: it’s like punching a button and Bing!
So tried and trusted that it is taught on sales courses.
Another one is ‘Make the target your friend’.
Well, Big Pharma is our greatest friend of all, saving us from Death, so this makes your hapless colleagues vulnerable to start with.
“Everyone loves a bargain.”
They feel that they ahve somehow beaten the system if they get to the front of the line and then they have bragging rights.
IOW, something to talk about. A subject of banal conversation.
Real conversation would be about the need for and safety of these shots. But that subject is of course verboten.
Early on CovIDIOTS that I know were asking each other – which one did you get?
My sense that Pfizer was the luxury brand…. they’d say in an understated way trying not to brag – I got the Pfizer … of course the bogans in the crowd would flaunt it .. I Got The Pfizer … these would be the same folks who wear designer clothes with the brand name across the front back and sides (Wan Kers).
All a bit odd considering the injections were free… not sure how one establishes ‘superiority’ here…. and of course they are all dangerous hahahaha…
Maybe they think they are James Bond … living dangerously!
You nailed it.
I was speaking to a friend early on and suggesting he wait to take the jab until the govt fulfilled on its promise to remove travel restrictions (quarantines) … because as we have seen they promise the world and usually do not deliver. I also suggested waiting to see if the injections turned out to be safe.
He ignore the first bit of advice — and as for the second — they were told that there was a limited window to get the Pfizer jab — then the only option would be the Chinese injection… so he got two jabs ‘while supplies last!’
He now has permanent heart damage.
The marketing is indeed powerful. It’s the same strategies that are used to sell Ginsu Knives.
Yes, that’s the game:
‘ I went to the vaxx centre, and to my relief they had my injection all ready for me! I’d been rather worried by the news about possible shortages, but now I’m safe – again!’
