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.
can’t they just cremate her and move on?
No. There will be a big ceremony in London where The Kings of the Earth reunite to mourn the passing of one of their own.
Then they will reunite again for the Coronation of the new King… King Charles the Turd… sorry the Third.
Depending on the shedule… The Kings of the Earth may also have to skip over to Japan for Shinzo Abe’s funeral which is pencilled in for Sept 27.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/sep/06/japan-state-funeral-shinzo-abe-opposition
The peasants are bitching over how much the funeral will set them back… more than 10 million pounds… so imagine the outrage when the commonwealth peasants get the bill for the Lizard Queen’s special memorial month or whatever. You know they’re going to milk this for some time…
And then realise how useful all these gatherings of The Kings of the Earth might be to their opposition or the true masters of this world…
The same applies to all other such gatherings such as the UN general assembly, the Davos crowd, and the World Government Summit in Dubai, or the death of the current pope…
If the true PTB want to drastically rearrange the chairs on the sinking ship… I’m sure they could arrange for some mythical fireballs to “accidently” fall on one of these gatherings… space debris and such… and proclaim that prophecy has been fulfilled and a “Messiah” has arrived to put things rights with the world.
You should listen to the ramblings of the “tribal high priests”… they are 100% convinced this narrative will play out in one way or another and they are hell bent on making it happen.
Funnily enough, I was watching The Medusa Touch last night. Where’s Richard Burton when you need him?

“This makes a lie of the government’s repeated statements saying that the vaccinations prevent you from being hospitalised and dying. They may not prevent you from getting Covid, and that’s for sure, because most people who are getting Covid are vaccinated. But this also shows that it’s a lie that people are prevented from going to hospital and are prevented from dying. These government provided facts show that 75% of the people who are dying are vaccinated in some way. And almost 40% of people who are dying are boosted for goodness sake. And 60% are either boosted or double vaccinated. This is terrible, and this is a tragedy, it shouldn’t be happening, and it’s time for the government to own up and admit the facts and stop pretending that this isn’t the case.
This whole vaccine programme has been a disaster. It’s a disaster here in New Zealand, and it’s a disaster all around the world. It’s about time the government owned up and admitted that things are not as they said they were, that the vaccine programme has been a disaster and the vaccine programme appears to be causing people to die as well, not just from covid, but from other diseases as well. There’s a whole lot of unanswered questions here and the answers need to be given. It’s time to own up. It’s time to change the direction of this ship. It’s time to confess that they made it wrong and they need to put it right and own up that this vaccine programme is damaging and hurting a lot of people here in New Zealand and around the world.”

Why anyone would go to a “Chain Store” to have a medical procedure is beyond me.
This post is meant for Yorchican who mentioned that he has to time to do email conversations on simulation theory.
This is what Yorchican wrote :
I feel he needs to define more clearly what he means by being in a simulation and what difference it makes. Doesn’t being in a simulation suggest our reality is similar to a higher reality, and I see no evidence for that. Higher realities are unknowable.
My response :
Anyone playing a simulation computer game knows that the scenarios are limitless, and the end result of a simulation is a function of initial boundary conditions. Tough questions, especially related to non-linear and non-science-based scenarios can be answered by running a simulation.
Klimate (sic) can be modeled as it is science-based but humans are not. The movie “Serenity” (2019) is a must-watch if you want to know what a simulation is. In this movie, a young boy ran a simulation on what will happen if a step-father mistreats his biological mother. In the simulation, the man killed the evil step-father. So, this boy ran out (in real life) and killed his actual physical step father.
On a very high level plane, you can only find answers if you run simulation to answer questions like
1. What if you have a planet with infinite resources and humans are to exploit it?
2. What if the planet has finite resources but humans are extremely smart and clever?
3. What if the planet has finite resources but humans are being dumbed down 10% per generation?
4. What would humans react if aliens land on earth?
On a micro level, questions like
1. What would happen to the world is Trump won the second term?
2. What would happen if humans realized that the vaccines are deadly (as people fall ill and die in large numbers)?
One can run simulation many times with different starting conditions and getting different results.
The reasons why I am inclined towards the simulation theory is
1. I have way too many personal experience that happens to be much of a coincidence
2. One physicists says that 30 physical constants like the Planck Time, if it is off by a little, earth would not have appeared. So, 30 constants? Seems totally impossible.
3. Speed of light is a constant no matter how looks it in any direction
4. It is possible to explain all the unknowns and mysteries with a simulation theory including the Mandela effect, ancestry issue which is not possible for humans to have ancestors.
5. The double slit experiment makes not sense
There is a hypothesis known as brain-in-a-vat. You can look it up and read if you are interested. What we see, hear, smell, touch and tastes are electrical signals interpreted by our brain. If any part of the brain is damaged, the results may be different. Perhaps we are nothing more than a brain in a vat full of liquid with wires coming out from the vat?
This is a good summation of some of the main reasons for suspecting we may be living in a simulation. I don’t subscribe to that view, or rather, I am agnostic about it. We don’t know what our physical Universe is ultimately based on. It may be “it from bit” as imagined by physicist John Wheeler, or it may be turtles all the way down.
“What if, at its heart, the universe is not a collection of particles, forces and fields but rather a collection of bits?” Here’s a rather eclectic lecture by Richard Harvey.
Tim… when you are ready, you will accept it. When you are not ready… you will not. It cannot be forced
Isn’t this more or less full circle to Genesis? God made man in His own image, most computer programmers are men, damn, feminism takes a hit. CTG, better watch your six.
Dennis L.
If a description of the medium/machine/entity which this so called “simulation” run on doesn’t make any sense to a limited hooman intellect, one is forced to abandon “understanding”.
Because these simulationistas associate everyday computation and virtual reality “world” to how the “simulation” of ultimate reality is performed.
This is a fallacy.
To perfectly simulate anything an astounding amount of computation is required. Simulating the most trivial chemical reaction requires a mammoth machine. Now extrapolate to simulating the whole goddamned universe or just the subjective/objective experience of it would require an “ordinary” computer to be unfathomable size.
It seems like the only reasonable way of running the “simulation” is by embedding the computer within the simulation itself. I.e. the universe is a computer performing computations with, on and of itself.
A self referential mode of computation and existence.
I just think of it as the Universe (manifestation), the Tao (computation/time) and evolutionary process (physics, mutation, “program”).
The same is true for a conscious embodiment in the universe, where the self (your feeling of being aware) is a referenced instance of the minds own computation. I’m sure you can spot the eternal self reference/recurrence in that statement. Your mind is thus faced with the following realization in childhood.
This is a self referential process with an embodiment.
Or what people in everyday life call “I”.
“2. One physicists says that 30 physical constants like the Planck Time, if it is off by a little, earth would not have appeared. So, 30 constants? Seems totally impossible.”
and yet here we are, and you wouldn’t be here to make that observation if those 30 constants were not in place.
therefore, this is one of an infinite possible universes where the “constants” could come out exactly right.
only in an exactly right universe could there be intelligent beings who could state that they needed their home universe to be exactly right.
so the chance that humans appeared in an exactly right universe is 100%.
the chance of intelligent beings in any other of the infinite possible universes, if the particular universe doesn’t have exactly right “constants”, is 0%.
we’re here, so it’s not impossible, it’s 100% probable.
Probability theory and everyday life teaches us that every effect that happens got a probability of zero, or infinitesimal.
But yet it happens and obviously something’s gotta happen. Otherwise we wouldn’t be here as observed.
The problem with the simulationistas is that they don’t follow it through to the Ultimate Conclusion, but rather hand waving it in. Which is dishonest.
They’ve gotta explain a few things:
1. What is the medium/machine running the simulation
2. For what reason is it being run
And no hand wavy projections from hooman tech and antics will cut it.
I wish you good luck.
Ah yes, it is turtles all the way down then.
Dennis L.
I propose that which what we observe/perceive/experience is in fact turtles all the way down to the background noise floor (quantum effects/randomness) of our minds (and the universe in extension).
There is such no “levels” of turtles. Totally self referential systems are perfectly self contained within themselves as an Escher painting.
But that is neither to say that supreme beings doesn’t exist, nor is it a claim that “aliens”/“ancients”/etc. didn’t kickstart life on earth and meddled with primate genomes giving rise to the rapacious primate for their own (heavenly, foolish, absurd, etc.) reasons.
The antediluvian “ruins” seem to indicate that shenanigans and antics happened on earth for a very long time before the “flood” wiped the slate clean.
Aliens, unlikely. Hoomans, likely. All retch and no vomit, certainly.
There is a Higher Power, somewhere, making things work as they should. The Higher Power only provides guide rails within which things must happen. We have some free will, as well. When we have more energy at our disposal, we seem to have more “free will” to expand science, education, government and its programs, healthcare, recreation and many other things.
But ultimately the laws of physics prevail. If there isn’t enough energy of the right types available, relative to population, the whole system tends to collapse.
“3. Speed of light is a constant no matter how looks it in any direction”
Is that true?
From 9:50 in the below it’s argued otherwise.

“5. The double slit experiment makes not sense”
Would it make sense if all matter had at least some level of consciousness?
https://youtu.be/A9tKncAdlHQ
“Would it make sense if all matter had at least some level of consciousness?”
In every attempt of measuring a property of the universe by the use of a devise(measuring instrument, hooman senses) will interfere with the measurement.
This is because the machine doing the measurement is acutely part of the universe in the strictest of sense. There is no true separation, however it can be almost arbitrarily differentiated up until the Planck scale I reckon.
All matter and field in the universe is instantaneously coupled by the property of being embedded, that is, referenced by all other matter and field.
The nature of the “referencing” give rise to the physical constants and effects. Take for example the electron (or proton) which self referential sentences (crudely) can be approximated to:
“I shall oppose sharing space with myself to the point”
“I shall be attracted to my opposite”
Thus an apparent electrical field forms surrounding the point, which enables its expression to propagate as a matter of interaction with “empty” space itself.
You get the idea.
☺️
Thanks for your thoughts K and I do like this bit
“All matter and field in the universe is instantaneously coupled by the property of being embedded, that is, referenced by all other matter and field.”
And that would make this bit logical.
“This is because the machine doing the measurement is acutely part of the universe in the strictest of sense.”
I’m not comfortable with the constants and believe Sheldrake raises some issues with that which demand further (first link).
So basically we’re still about here😉

Yes, which is why it is so insanely difficult to reach beyond basic concepts and it is how science gets bogged down in simpleton complications and it results as another epicycle (particle).

I understand what a simulation is. My point is that to say we are in a simulation implies that the reality in which the being(s) that created us exists is similar to our reality. I believe this is unknowable. It’s ok to theorise that our reality was created by another intelligence, but you cannot say anything about that intelligence or its reality. Therefore you cannot say we live in a simulation, only that our universe was purposefully created. To say we live in a simulation is anthropomorphising the creator(s), it seems to me.
To simulate means “to imitate the appearance or character of something”.
A simulation means (a) an imitation of a situation or process; (b) an action of pretending or deception; or (c) the production of a computer model of something, especially for the purpose of study.
For there to be a simulation, there must also exist an original something that is being simulated by means of the simulation; and there must also be an entity that is performing the simulation.
If we are part of a simulation, living inside a simulation, we can have no knowledge of what is outside of the simulation or of the entity performing the simulation.
This situation seems to me to be analogous to living in a world or a Universe created by a Creator or God, running according to God’s Purpose or Logos, or the Laws of Nature.
By alluding to the idea of the Universe being a simulation, CTG seems to be promoting something similar to the traditional idea of the created Universe without referring to its Creator.
The simulation meme is another gaslighting tactic employed by the same creatures simulating money.
I would agree except that the well documented ancient view of world and its structure supports simacrulum concept…… that and all the huge holes in the ground the parasite class has dug all over world to escape “ something” ( some in exactly the wrong places lol).
My namesake culture knew reality sure enough and they got hammered for the knowing of it.
Even 18th and 19th century astronomers knew something was up in the
“ inner solar system”.
Vulcan is real and it ain’t no planet. We will get a real close look at it very soon. It doesn’t like the money changers either lololol.
They were likely living the antediluvian “BAU” and then a few comets slapped down on earth causing the flood of mud, clay, and ash from volcanic eruptions.
There is no “tunnels” but rather buried, calcified, fossilized, imprinted old structures and mines. For sure, some likely took to the “bolt holes” (refugias) trying to escape the planetary upheaval.
Hypers gonna hyper in perpetuity, ad nausea, all retch and no vomit forever and ever and ever and ever in the eternal recurrence of the myopia of ordinary. Let’s sing along:
YOLO!

We have simulations for everything including ants. Perhaps home sapiens are just like yeast for the creators..
One should look at the big picture and id that person is truly the one to be enlightened, then he will proceed to do more research on this topic….
No enlightened person claim being enlightened. Thus no one and everybody is enlightened.
Enlightening is not a “thing” or a “goal”. Rather it is a process.
But I digress. Back on topic, please describe for me:
1. Who and what is running the “simulation”
2. Why is it being “run”
No analogies to hooman antics and technologies in your explanation of 1. and 2. Explanation only accepted in exquisite detail, compact and on the point.

Occam’s razor would suggest that all results of all simulations are already known for trillions of years. Any quantum computer has all solutions ready before being asked.
ok, let’s dig some deeper here:
Any Quantum Computer has any result available from the get go.
The question is, how much time it takes to program the quantum computer. I have successfully finished “Programming quantum computers I & II” and I would say it is quite complicated to get “a result”.
It is somewhat similar to AI : You need a certain amount of time to program any AI with data. You could double or quadruple the data stream of course but you need to have the data stream in the first place meaning you will have had to record it in real time.
So beyond Goedel here you could prove that we are in some sort of a simulation programming/data gathering environment but not the simulation itself. For example we see no simulation “reprogramming”.
This place is based on actions and consequences. These things need some time to play out.
It could be that we as players or NPCs are put here for “temporary activity”. Many spiritual traditions speak about “a learning experience”, Yes, I am a witness.
Something like a measurement instrument.
It was fun in some instances but in the end I must repeat myself:
“It must have been clear for trillions of years” and a trillion years is for all practicality nothing.
To learn more about really big numbers that do not even get close to our small universe bubble, I recommend learning about ridiculously big numbers (course):
I don’t buy into this theory — when complex issues are involved — assume the explanation is likely to be the most complex…
For instance … Covid Injections… it ain’t corruption stooopidity or incompetence… it’s UEP…
And let’s rewind back to where this all started — GFC — the assumption was again stoopidity — corruption — incompetence… the easy way out.
I recall thinking soon after — hang on — why would they burn their house down — there has to be a better explanation …
And of course there was — and it is a very complex explanation
F789 Oxcam or Oxfam who whoever came up with this nonsense.. It’s bull shit.
These philosophical ideas have been debated forever and (like most of philosophy) turned out to be a bunch of nonsense.
What you are describing is the weak anthropic principle: we are here because if the universe was different, we would not be be here. Isn’t that amazing?
Douglas Adams says it better.

Also, if you have a chance, try to read older books. You’ll see that every generation has some similar idea. During Newton’s time it was “clockwork universe” (kind of a simulation with cuckoos), later it was robots, then computers.
TL;DR: we are not special. We are not good enough to figure out the universe but some of us are arrogant enough to think so.
and after the nuclear bomb it was a big bang theory.
And with Christianity/Islam came the acceptance of creation myth (Big Bang).
All but imaginary conjecture.
A temptation for the feeble minded seeking meaning and purpose within the confines of mindless process.
As if existence and it’s reasoning, subjective and objective qualities isn’t good enough. But rather conveniently swept aside as something “obvious” (myopia of ordinary). No, it is a goddamned miracle of life and mindless process.

This is related to gas storage that we have discussed. I think this is a serious matter because it can be misleading, and it may be done intentionally or unintentionally.
Alex – I would not quote MSM (for your case, you quoted Reuters). I have no respect for any MSM as they have shown time and again to twist facts to support their agenda. See the “safe and effective”. The worst that can happen is “half truths” where there are truths and lies in the same article. This is similar to the pricing of items in a supermarket where some of cheaper than competitors and some are not, and the buyer would just buy them since “he is already there in the supermarket and he is not going to another supermarket to buy others which are cheaper there”. In other words, the lies, mixed with truths will be taken wholesale as “truth”
I stand corrected if there are real engineers who are working on gas and pipelines, especially in Europe. As I was taking a hot shower (yeah just woke up from an air-conditioned bedroom), I was “enlightened” by my hot shower. My hot water heater is electric. It is a tank with an inlet pipe and outlet pipe with a heating element. It has no pumps and the water pressure from the inlet pushed the water out at the outlet. I can have a very large tank say 1,000 gallons but without the pressure of the inlet pipe, there is no hot water in my shower. I can still say that I have 1,000 gallons of hot water but it is of no use to me unless I find a way to pump the water out of the tank. That means I must connect a pump at the outlet of the water heater to draw water out. It is a lot of work to hack the wall and the install the pipes. Now, think about the work required for gas pipes for the whole country, it is just not possible.
Water cannot be easily compressed but gas will. So, pressure is very important.
As far as I know, natural gas burns but a mix of natural gas and atmospheric air explodes. So, any “container” must contain only natural gas. It cannot be topped off with atmospheric air.
Read the link here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas_storage
What Gail said is correct, gas storage is to smoothen the flow of the natural gas. It is not meant to be drawn for a long period of time.
A container will either contain some gas or in vacuum. So, I think when they say the storage is 80%, I think that the pressure in the container is up to 80% of the max pressure limit. It might not be related to “how big is the gas volume in storage”. The usage of pressure as proxy is good enough since the assumption is that the flow of gas will not stop.
The caverns used to store natural gas can be stored up to 18MPascal in pressure as per one study in China. How much gas can be drawn out until the pressure in the cavern equals atmospheric pressure? My guess is that it will not be a lot.
So, it could be that when leaders say the storage is 80% full, it is correct if the gas pumped into the chamber is 80% of the upper spec limit for pressure. If the demand for gas is high in winter, some gas from the storage will be used to maintain the pressure across all the gas pipes in the country but eventually the storage will exhaust and it has to be filled again.
Similar to my hot water tank, I can have a 10,000 gallon 70°C hot water but it is of no use to me if the water pressure from my water mains is zero.
This is similar to the pricing of items in a supermarket where some of cheaper than competitors and some are not, and the buyer would just buy them since “he is already there in the supermarket and he is not going to another supermarket to buy others which are cheaper there”. In other words, the lies, mixed with truths will be taken wholesale as “truth”

Wikipedia has the goods on gas holders:
A gas holder or gasholder, also known as a gasometer, is a large container in which natural gas or town gas is stored near atmospheric pressure at ambient temperatures. The volume of the container follows the quantity of stored gas, with pressure coming from the weight of a movable cap. Typical volumes for large gas holders are about 50,000 cubic metres (1,800,000 cu ft), with 60-metre (200 ft) diameter structures.
Gas holders now tend to be used for balancing purposes to ensure that gas pipes can be operated within a safe range of pressures, rather than for actually storing gas for later use.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_holder
Do note that if a container full of gas is evacuated or used, what is going to fill in the void? It cannot be a vacuum as the cause of the container will be huge. It has to be the same type of gas so that it is not contaminated. If the same type of gas is not available, can the container’s gas be used?
i reckon it will be pretty cool to die… we get to see what’s on the other side… and if there’s nothing .. oh well
*cost, not *cause
Just too many technical difficulties
These gas holders, which used to be built in pairs or triplets in every town with a large enough population to make them worthwhile, and often dominated the townscape, would maintain the gas under pressure by means of the weight of the roof and wall, which in some cases would bend and like a concertina to raise or lower the roof as gas was produced or consumed.
Regardless of the system, these structures employed a variable storage volume that could be adjusted according to the amount of gas stored, thereby maintaining the pressure. So no air and no vacuum was employed.
This well known pair of gas tanks was demolished in NY in July 2001 in what some people have suggested was a preparatory blast ahead of the Twin Towers, which went down in September of that year.
“…rather than for actually storing gas for later use.”
So the point is?
“Natural gas is stored in large volumes in underground facilities and in smaller volumes in tanks above or below ground. The United States uses three main types of underground natural gas storage facilities: depleted natural gas or oil fields, salt caverns, aquifers.”
https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/natural-gas/delivery-and-storage.php
good links.
from the CTG wiki link:
“Base gas (also referred to as cushion gas): It is the volume of gas that is intended as permanent inventory in a storage reservoir to maintain adequate pressure and deliverability rates throughout the withdrawal season.
Working gas capacity: It is the total gas storage capacity minus the base gas.
Working gas: It is the total gas in storage minus the base gas. Working gas is the volume of gas available to the market place at a particular time.
Physically unrecoverable gas: The amount of gas that becomes permanently embedded in the formation of the storage facility and that can never be extracted.”
so the “cushion gas” is the permanent amount that keeps the reservoir at 100% natural gas with no contamination.
this seems to say that the cushion gas is somewhat higher pressure than just baseline atmospheric pressure.
so it appears that 100% full means maximum pressure for the reservoir, and 0% would not be zero pressure, but would mean the pressure has dropped to the minimum level where no more gas can be let out, because the reservoir is down to the minimum “cushion gas” level.
cool stuff.
who knew?
1. “I would not quote MSM (for your case, you quoted Reuters).”
Are you disputing that (some) gas pipelines can switch to reverse flow? That would be really funny. Already in 2014, Slovakia delivered gas to Ukraine through reverse flow during Ukrainian gas crisis. You can find it in any information source matching you taste.
2. “So, I think when they say the storage is 80%, I think that the pressure in the container is up to 80% of the max pressure limit.”
You think wrong. When they say the storage is 80%, it has the most straightforward and most practical meaning, i.e., the effective storage capacity is filled to 80%.
“We use two metrics to assess working natural gas storage capacity: design capacity and demonstrated peak capacity.
The design capacity metric is a theoretical limit on the total amount of natural gas that can be stored underground and withdrawn for use.
Demonstrated peak capacity, or total demonstrated maximum working natural gas capacity, represents the sum of the largest volume of working natural gas reported for each individual storage field during the most recent five-year period, regardless of when the individual peaks occurred.”
https://www.eia.gov/naturalgas/storagecapacity/
3. “…gas storage is to smoothen the flow of the natural gas. It is not meant to be drawn for a long period of time.”
Either you provide a link supporting this claim, or I’m calling BS.
4. “…but eventually the storage will exhaust and it has to be filled again.”
Shocking.
5. “Similar to my hot water tank…”
As you have mentioned yourself, water is incompressible. No relevant similarity here.
6. “I was “enlightened” by my hot shower.”
Perhaps you misinterpreted the sensation?
Alex, like what people do if they are interested, do your own research and do your own conclusion. It is just purely lazy, physically and intellectually lazy to just provide you with links.
When I was interested in resource depletion, internet was still at its infancy with dial up modems. Nope, it was a lone journey that one has to take to be enlightened.
Campbell has a new video looking at excess deaths. It starts at about 1 minute in. Due to YouTube limitations, he is very circumspect, but the data is compelling. There is the observation that covid should have eliminated many of the most vulnerable from the present cohort and reduced excess deaths. That has not happened.
The excess deaths are much discussed on this site and belaboring serves no one, but things are being noticed.

Lastly a note on life and how it is lived: it is very messy but goes on. We do not all die at once, we do not all make dumb mistakes, and sometimes God puts his finger on the scale and luck does come into play.
Life is going as it should, that is not always as we would like; our job is to adapt, evolution has worked that one out. Think of some of the “misfortune” as a test, look for a window and forget the doors, fly through and accept wrinkling the wings a bit. Try not to look at the closed door and keep asking God to open it.
As Cambell said today, “Long live the King.”
Dennis L.
It seems like the countries that John Campbell is highlighting all use quite a bit of the mRNA vaccines. Perhaps we don’t have as good data in the “poor” countries that tend to use other vaccines.
Early studies showed the mRNA vaccines seem to lead to excess deaths.
There is the tale of Ishi, the last Yahi. Long story short, he was thought to be the last of his tribe. Later studies proved that he was even not the last of Yahi; he was a product of a Yahi and a Wintu (a tribe still existing). The Winto and Yahi intermarried often but seems Ishi’s parent, having lost anyone in the tribe to mate, intermarried into the Wintu.
Ishi spent his last days in the custody of Dr. Alfred Kroeber. He later married Theodora Krocaw, a divorced mother of two, and had a daughter named Ursula who is better known as her married name Le Guin.
Although Le Guin’s mother never really met Ishi, she told Ishi’s story to her daughter often (and later wrote a book on Ishi called Ishi in Two worlds), Ursula Le Guin used Ishi’s motive sometimes in her books as well.
In one of her short tales, she wrote that there is a town whose people live in prosperity and happiness, but there is a child who is tied down in a chain, subject to all ridicule and treated as a pariah until it dies, then is replaced by another child (usually an orphan or a poor child sold by its parents) and so on. That is necessary to maintain the town’s prosperity for some reason, and she asks is it justifiable to mistreat the child just because the town can keep its prosperity.
I say, yes. I would be the first to kick the child’s head if it keeps civilization going.
In fact, if 90% of the people have to live like animals so the rest can advance civilization to the next stage, so be it. One has to do what is needed to advance to the next stage of human existence.
Keep Calm with the Hilarity of the Singularity
“That is necessary to maintain the town’s prosperity for some reason, and she asks is it justifiable to mistreat the child just because the town can keep its prosperity.”
For what reason? Isn’t it merely a savage superstition? The Ainu of Hokkaido, used to capture baby bears (brown bears, close cousins of grizzlies). They would raise the bear in a cage until adulthood and kill it in a ceremony, if I remember correctly. That made some sort of sense to the Ainu. Were they prosperous? Were they civilized? These are meaningless questions without an appropriate context to frame them in.
“if 90% of the people have to live like animals so the rest can advance civilization to the next stage, so be it. One has to do what is needed to advance to the next stage of human existence.”
90% of the people DO live like animals. They can hardly hold a knife and fork, let alone eat peas with chopsticks!
I suspect you wouldn’t recognize civilization if it kicked you in the head. You sound like a cheap imitation of the late Duke of Edinburgh, who may yet come back to haunt us a deadly virus.
The ‘next stage of human development’ is within, not without.
The Kingdom of God is within us.

UK: TROUBLING hospitalization (severity) data (week 35, 2022) following COVID injection; appears that across all ages, hospitalization rate is highest (37.8 per 100,000) when VAXX is within 3 months

Vax less than 3 months seems to work for those 75 and older. This still isn’t helpful for a once a year vaccination, however, even for the 75 and older crowd.

It is better to take good care of your health, maintaining it than to abuse your body and take the vaccine.

URGENT: Deaths are soaring in one of the world’s most highly mRNA vaccinated areas
Deaths in the Australian state of Victoria, where 95 percent of adults have received Covid vaccines and most are boosted with mRNA shots, soared to their highest level in at least 13 years in August – far above the five-year average.
Victoria offers almost unique data: near-real-time reporting on death trends in millions of people who are heavily vaccinated but had little exposure to Covid before being jabbed.
The picture is increasingly grim.
Victoria registered 4,896 deaths from all causes in August, 27 percent above the monthly average of the previous five Augusts. Mortality in Australia typically peaks June through August, the Southern Hemisphere’s winter, but the figure is only the latest in a disturbing trend.
So far in 2022, Victoria has registered 32,533 deaths, 20 percent above its average for the same eight-month period from 2017 through 2021. Victoria has had more than 4000 deaths in five months since February; it crossed that threshold only in seven months in the previous 12 years.
In general, deaths in Victoria have typically fallen in a very narrow band. In each year from 2017 to 2021, the state reported between 26,350 and 27,800 deaths for the eight months from January to August.
Not anymore.

@Ricky
>The real story is “they” have reached a point of advancement (based on our innovations) where they believe they don’t need us anymore. And since they live in a paradigm based on scarcity = fear + greed it’s time to get rid of us.
Whether you like or not, that is the only way to enter the next level of civilization, Singularity and all that. No way to reach there with 7 billion people who are good for nothing. About half of world’s pop, probably more, do not have the skills to survive in a tech based world.
Unfortunately, we are actually farther from this goal in 2022 than 1914. A few morons, including a Chucky Fitzclarence who was praised by the late Dr. Robert Firth for ‘doing his duty’ and ridiculed by me for ‘fucking up the Great War, causing the deaths of millions of Europeans’ killed off 10 million European youths, losses which were replaced by people of inferior stock and , , Asians who don’t have any stake in today’s civilization.
Frankly speaking, billions of third worlders consumed too much resources, for no good results. Any measures now done will be too little, too late.
It is really difficult to have a tech-based world, when we don’t have more than intermittent electricity and international trade is all mess up. I am afraid we are very rapidly moving in such a direction.
Another possibility presents itself: That “they” are killing off the more affluent “middle-class” populations to whom they have enormous financial commitments (pensions, heath insurance, life insurance, etc.) that can no longer be met.
By eliminating two-thirds of the population in North America, Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand—in line with the Deagle forecast, “they” can balance their books nicely.
Control the cash book, and you control the world.
Why are China and India and sout east asia never mentioned when talking about population reduction?
Surely they are set to be the biggest “problem” by far going forward…
Unless they massively collapse into their own footprint too and that is a given… then we’re square.
But I think you’re correct in leaving out Africa (a continent) and it’s ongoing pop growth as I don’t think it will amount to much.
Maybe… (pensions, heath insurance, life insurance, etc.) and healthcare in general… and the police protection racket… can simply be wiped out everywhere worldwide and tell the peasants to manage on their own like in the old days.
To be honest… there won’t be much left to control at this rate. And who would want to control that mess anyway.
Time to slither away to the bowels of the Earth from whence they came methinks.
China and India are New Kids on the Block when it comes to building up pension and life insurance funds. Until very recently, life was very cheap in both places. And their markets have only grown to significance this century. So, I would assume a lot less has been promised or is owed to the citizens of those two countries by the moneymen who run the Global Casino.
In Europe and North America, these businesses have been established for a century or more and were mushrooming as the financial economy continued to expand year over year and decade over decade. There is no more room for expansion and perhaps the necessary cash flow is no longer available.
Also, in India and China, a different bunch of financial interests are in charge of the funds.
The death of Elizabeth Windsor would be comparable to the death of Franz Josef I in 1916.
The Austrian Empire, whether you like it or not, reached a pinnacle of Western Civilization.
I have read Stefan Zweig of The World of Yesterday a few times. He missed what had been lost, thanks to the Georgian Woodrow Wilson who might have caused more damage to civilization than another Georgian (although in a different continent) named Joe Steeleman.
Woodrow Wilson’s insane obsession on democracy, plus the lobbies of the Poles and Czechs who traded the future of humanity so they would have their shitty countries, destroyed the Empire and Vienna has returned to an insignificant town.
UK never did well with a king titled Charles, and ironically the last Emperor of Austria was also called Charles by Woody Wilson. I don’t know whether Charles Battenberg would do better than the previous two Charles Stuarts.
kul,
A guess only. Perhaps we forgive others not because it is worthy but so we can get on with our own lives unencumbered by victimhood or angst over things which were better not to have happened.
All our lives have injustices, that which would have better not done, but past is past, we can only learn and move on. I am becoming a believer in forgiveness not for the forgiven, but for ourselves.
Dennis L.
I agree. Someone does something that seems “wrong.” For our own good, we need to forgive them and move on.
I will never forgive them because their aspirations basically cost the future you are describing all the time.
Although I seem to oppose you sometimes, in spirit I am in the same side of you.
Let’s say there is a rare type of water which is the only solution for a rare chemical problem which could significantly save the civilization. It is only available in that location, where the locals use the water as some kind of health tonic. What would you do?
If I ran civilization, I would clear the location all of the locals so they won’t able to touch it , and take out all the water for scientific use. If the locals die because they cant use this water, too bad.
That’s how I think.
Reaching the next level of civ is not easy. A lot of sacrifices have to be made, and I frankly do not like to see huge opportunities being wasted just because some groups who are not too likely to contribute too much to civilization have to have their way.
Who decides, what civilisation is? You? Kill Bill? What is civilisation for, if it is not the life of the living and the life of the future generations? Is life today is better than life of the Inuits 300 years ago? I understand the idea that the masses bewail those who exploit and enslave them. And sometimes you have to push through something to get a little further. But as a general idea?
Woodrow Wilson was helplessly enslaved to the bankers. He did what he was told. The bankers wanted the great empires broken up, and they used two world wars to break them up. I was listening at the keyhole of my bank manager’s office yesterday and he was saying that the bankers intend to use a third world war, which “they will call the “Third World War” to break up the remaining powerful countries, turn the entire world into the Third World, and bring on a new world order, which they are planning on calling the “New World Order.”
Kulm, a word to the wise: All wars are bankers’ wars.

Norman, it was reported years ago that Betty Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and her eldest son regularly interfere with the workings of government, if any proposed laws got in the way of their financial interests, so very much playing a part in government.
Even the BBC and guardian reported on it, did you not notice?

Norman, it’s on record that they had legislation changed if it interfered with their money making, so the British monarchy played an active part in government any time it suited them.

Most people here don’t know the truth of it and even when you explain they don’t want to hear it. Centuries of conditioning makes people go along with the most stupid things.
Here’s a quick run down from Simon Elmer.
Those who claim the UK sovereign is merely a symbolic roll do not understand or are lying about its true function. No Act of Parliament is law until ‘the King wills it’; and no draft bill affecting his prerogatives or financial interests may even be debated without his approval.
The Crown estate, which is inherited by the sovereign, owns an urban portfolio worth £9.1 billion, 15,500 acres of the Windsor estate, 287,000 acres of agricultural land and forest, 55% of the UK’s foreshore, plus the seabed out to 12 nautical miles – 23.6 million acres in total.
Valued at £28 billion and producing a £312.7 million net revenue profit in 2022 – from which, as a Crown body, it is exempt from corporation tax, income tax and capital gains tax – there is no other organisation in the world that resembles the Crown estate as a legal entity.
The primary result of this investiture, however, is the Crown, which owns all land in the UK. This is leased to the Govt, the Church of England, Oxford, Cambridge and Eton, the MoD, the National Trust, the Forestry Commission, 24 Dukes and several thousand private corporations.
Just 0.3% of the population – 160,000 families – owns two-thirds of the 60 million acres of land in the UK, making us second only to Brazil as the country with the most unequal land distribution in the world. More than a third is owned by the Royal family and British aristocracy.
Those who own it, who inherited it from their fathers and will bequeath it to their sons, are mostly the descendants of Normans, the inbred aristocrats from the 90 or so families that fought at the Battle of Hastings and enforced the feudal system on England when they won.
In the UK, as a result, there is no such thing as ‘publicly-owned land’, which in itself is a misnomer. We are subjects of His Majesty, King Charles III, and since his nominal ancestor turned us into a feudal society, we don’t own a foot of the land we live, work and die on.
The wholesale theft of our land a thousand years ago by the current ruling class represents a level of dispossession unparalleled in our history – with which, nonetheless, the huge majority of the sleepy, docile, subservient and loyal subjects of His Majesty appear to be content.
But whether you’re the new Prime Minister, the Archbishop of Canterbury or a pensioner waiting three days on a trolley in A&E, when you stand, shout ‘God Save the King’ and sing the national anthem, it’s this theft and the system of governance built on it that you’re sanctifying.
Why do the Brits put up with this bs???
Again, centuries old conditioning Eddy.
Also from Elmer.
“In a constitutional monarchy of long-standing the heterogeneous power of the sovereign is so closely connected with homogeneous society that its authority has become naturalised as an unchangeable part of its structure, both immobilised and immobilising.
During a ‘crisis’, however, the force of attraction exerted by heterogeneous forms of authority mobilise homogeneous society toward the restoration of the temporarily broken contact between the masses of the obedient working and middle classes and sovereign authority.
It’s for this reason that the UK has as its Head of State a hereditary monarch who is still wheeled out today at the first sound of grumblings from the unfailingly patriotic and royalist masses, who, as the Jubilee celebrations demonstrated, will fall into line when ordered to.
Just as, in historical fascist states, the Duce and the Führer exerted not just a military authority but also a religious power of attraction over the masses, so the subjects of the UK biosecurity state, in Orwell’s words, have learned to love Big Brother.”
Oh right – MOREONS.

Good riddance. The entire family are basically the Kardashians with a little class. Even Kevin McGuire from the Guardian thinks the Royal family offers so little to the British.
I can only imagine the wave of emotion that will sweep over the USA when Kim Kardashian finally dies.
I heard that Oprah Winfrey is going to be buried in the largest pyramid ever seen on Earth, with thousands of fans buried alive to accompany her in the afterlife
And you get a car! And you get a car! And you…
I wouldn’t be surprised if that actually happens. And the whole world rallies around the project and starts doing mass human sacrifice in her name.
This is how we keep it going folks!

Anti-monarchist Jacki Pickett faced an onslaught from her neighbours in Muir of Ord, a small village in the north of Scotland, after she released a video on social media of her in front of her fish and chip shop celebrating the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Did he mention the Queen is actually a german?
Carnegie Mellon University professor Uju Anya reacted to the news of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II suffering from poor health shortly before her death on Thursday by calling her a “wretched woman” and a “genocidal colonizer” who is “the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire,” adding, “May her pain be excruciating.”
“I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating,” professor Anya tweeted on Thursday. She later deleted the tweet after backlash.
In a follow-up tweet, the professor wrote, “That wretched woman and her bloodthirsty throne have f***ked generations of my ancestors on both sides of the family, and she supervised a government that sponsored the genocide my parents and siblings survived.”
“May she die in agony,” she added.
In response to a Twitter user who wrote, “Why are you wishing our one and only queen Elizabeth dead?” professor Anya said, “I’m not wishing her dead. She’s dying already. I’m wishing her an agonizingly painful death like the one she caused for millions of people.”
I’m not wishing her dead. She’s dying already. I’m wishing her an agonizingly painful death like the one she caused for millions of people.
— Uju Anya (@UjuAnya) September 8, 2022
“This kind of post is not expected from a person of your level. This is not what you say even to your worst enemy,” another Twitter user reacted.
Professor Anya responded by proclaiming, “F**k you and your deference to genocidal colonizers.”
Following the news of the Queen’s death, Anya took to Twitter again to reaffirm that she will not be expressing “anything but disdain” for the “monarch who supervised a government that sponsored the genocide that massacred and displaced half my family.”
“If anyone expects me to express anything but disdain for the monarch who supervised a government that sponsored the genocide that massacred and displaced half my family and the consequences of which those alive today are still trying to overcome, you can keep wishing upon a star,” she wrote.
Even Jeff Bezos seemed to recognize the professor’s tweets were of incredible poor taste.
This is someone supposedly working to make the world better? I don’t think so. Wow.

I think Twitter is wonderful. It must have been very cathartic for the professor, who identifies as Biafran and blames HM QE2 for the three-year civil war fought between Nigeria and the Republic of Biafra, a secessionist state which declared its independence from Nigeria in 1967, to have sounded off like this.
And very satisfying to get a response from Jeff Bezos, who is so busy running Amazon, moonlighting as a taxi driver for people going into space, and doing lots of weight training. Yes, Twitter is wonderful if you want to vent, as long as you don’t make disparaging comments about protected and privileged individuals or groups. It’s a big club, and the Biafran professor is in it, but QE2 isn’t.

Isn’t it convenient to flip the finger of blame?
The slave trade surely was a tango between despots and local lackeys collecting the “produce” from tribal skirmishes.
The professor’s surely living the good ole BAU originating from those horrible Anglo Saxons (+ whitey boi) inventing the steam engine and principles of thermodynamics for analyzing and optimizing them kicking off IC.
Talk about “cultural appropriation”.

Coming back to the gas reserves that EU has. Two commenters here gave good comments that gas lines are pressurized and it will flow from high pressure to low pressure.
I wonder how the situation is now in EU since NS1 has been cutoff and the only way EU can import gas is via LNG. I am not sure if the LNG terminal in USA has been repaired and functional now.
As far as I know, LNG from Middle East seems to be headed to Asia unless somehow EU manage to pay very well.
So, it is technically a very big issue if they cannot find similar gas to pressurize the gas lines. Any storage, be it underground or above ground, the storage cannot be empty as it will be a vacuum inside. If it is filled with atmospheric air, then it will be contaminated.
So, I am not sure how serious this is. Perhaps within weeks we will know.
The last I heard the offline LNG terminal is expected to go online sometime in November. I am not certain that I would expect that exports of natural gas will necessarily ramp up in November, because it is not clear that the US had natural gas to sell as exports.
US production of natural gas is now relatively level with where it was in 2019, before the contraction. It is not rising rapidly. Recent 2022 production is no higher than it was at the end of 2021.
https://www.eia.gov/dnav/ng/hist/n9070us2m.htm
US natural gas imports are at best flat. They are now nearly all from Canada.
https://www.eia.gov/dnav/ng/hist/n9100us2m.htm
Exports have stalled out at about 600,000 million cubic feet of natural gas per month, in the past several months.
https://www.eia.gov/dnav/ng/hist/n9130us2m.htm
Only a little over half of this is as LNG, averaging somewhat a little over 300,000 million cubic feet of natural gas per month.
https://www.eia.gov/dnav/ng/hist/n9133us2m.htm
US working gas in storage is now low compared to the five year average, and prices have more than doubled (both shown in this analysis).
https://www.eia.gov/naturalgas/weekly/
Data is available on exports by country:
https://www.eia.gov/dnav/ng/NG_MOVE_EXPC_S1_M.htm
My impression is that a fair amount of this LNG is already under long term contracts. It may not be available to go to Europe. I haven’t checked on quantities, but the amount the US has available to export is tiny compared to what Europe needs.
https://www.eia.gov/dnav/ng/hist/n9133us2m.htm
This is a recent report on expected export capacity:
https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=53719
The catch, of course, is that the US needs to actually have natural gas to export, for this growing capacity to be helpful.
“Seven floating LNG terminals to come online in time for winter. At least 19 more are planned across the EU.”
https://twitter.com/NafeezAhmed/status/1567818092838805513?s=20&t=vJrsCijCtp0MFUvimo2Wfw
All they need is affordable natural gas to somehow come to these LNG terminals.
This link does not address or mention 19 floating LNG terminals. This sounds like fake news. It also sounds, even if planned, much more difficult to achieve than can be done in several months.
This site has some good charts showing European natgas import flows and storage levels (last updated on Sep 6):
https://www.bruegel.org/dataset/european-natural-gas-imports
Basically, the most important replacement for Russian gas is LNG, followed by pipeline gas from Norway.
Pressurization of the pipelines is not that much of a problem. The pipelines (probably not all yet) can switch the direction of their flow on daily basis, or even more frequently, e.g.:
“MOSCOW, Feb 27, 2022 (Reuters) – Russia’s Yamal-Europe gas pipeline switched back into reverse mode on Sunday morning, resuming supplies from Germany to Poland after short intermittent westbound flows overnight.”
https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/yamal-europe-gas-pipeline-reverts-reverse-mode-after-some-westbound-flows-2022-02-27/
As for the technical possibility of gas storage being empty:
“The pressure of the gas in the storage facility is significantly higher than in the pipeline network in order to be able to store a large quantity of gas in a space-saving manner. The total amount of gas contained in storage can be divided into working gas and cushion gas. The working gas is the volume of gas that can be stored and withdrawn. The cushion gas provides the necessary pressure to allow the working gas to be withdrawn from the storage at high rates even at low storage levels.”
https://www.uniper.energy/energy-storage-uniper/gas-storage-technology (excerpts)
I looked at the Bruegel graphs. They are very interesting. It looks like Russia is losing at least 1,500 million cubic meters of gas (per ??) from Russia on his charts. So far, Norway and LNG have added a little. Algeria is behind as well.
Check valves I would guess.
Dennis L.
Surely they have pumps to pump gas from the storage….
I would expect they also have valves that can be closed upon loss of pressure behind them.
But this discussion is a good one. The optimal scenario is pressurized gas pipelines continually delivering, and a full storage, meaning it is at some intermediate pressure, and then the pumps are very efficient, not having to overcome a large pressure deficit.
The worst scenario is no gas continually flowing through the pipeline, thus no pressure there, and they have to pump only from storage with a larger pressure difference, making the pumping more energy intensive….is less efficient.
Additionally, pumps certainly have specs on what pressure differentials they can operate with….they cannot be unlimited I wouldn’t think.
We need an expert in these gas infrastructures to chime in….
The trouble with LNG-supply to Europe.
– limited number of operational LNG-tankers (just like the capacity of NS1)
– limited number of natural gas-liquifaction plants
– limited number of re-gassification terminals
– part of the cargo is used in propulsion of the tankers
– the tankers have to sail back EMPTY …. everytime
Europe wants to be less dependent on Russia. But is becoming more dependent on LNG-suppliers.
I expect that in addition to this list, is the lack of LNG. I don’t know how long it takes to build up LNG exporting infrastructure, such as new LNG plants, and as you mention above, LNG Tankers, but my guess it is measured in years rather than months. Thus why heads of oil and gas companies are saying there will be major shortages of gas in Europe for 5-10 years. But under the current circumstances, 5-10 years is like a lifetime away. I doubt the extra gas will be needed in 5-10 years. And of course, a recurring theme here, maybe we don’t have enough gas supplies left to increase gas supplies in any meaningful quantity.
Bottom line – this winter is going to be ‘interesting’.
Countries need the natural gas to go into the export facilities that are being built. This will be an increasing problem. My comment above pointed out that I don’t think that the US will have the natural gas it needs to put into the LNG transport that is being built.
I understand that Australia is having trouble keeping its electricity on, with all of its intermittent renewables. It needs more of the LNG it built for export, for its own good. I am not sure of the details, but the way I remember the situation, LNG that is not already committed under long term contract, will go to Australia itself, for balancing its own grid.
On a sidenote, Qatar is a large supplier of LNG. They are hosting the World Cup of football (soccer) this year. There has been a lot of controversy about the slave labor there to build the big stadiums in the desert. It makes sense now that they haven’t been scrapped for another host nation.
It looks like you are a newbie to thermodynamics.
LNG is pretty cold -162 °C.
A Storage tank needs to be insulated but will take in heat.
The heat alone taken in will expand the gas something like 6000 fold.
An LNG tanker for example runs on the gas released alone from the evaporation of latent heat in the tanks.
If you do not get rid of this gaseous phase by pipelining (by natrual pressure) fast enough you need to flare it.
Gas pressure is not any issue with LNG.

“Pre-exposure to mRNA-LNP inhibits adaptive immune responses and alters innate immune fitness in an inheritable fashion”
[…] “The inhibition of adaptive immune responses by mRNA-LNPs is systemic”
[…] “The new anti-COVID-19 mRNA vaccines’ immunological effects beyond inducing certain protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection are poorly understood. Based on our earlier studies demonstrating the pro-inflammatory properties of the LNP platform used in these vaccines, we report that pre-exposure to the mRNA-LNP platform has long-term impacts on both innate and adaptive immune responses, with some of these traits even being inherited by the offspring.”
https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/journal.ppat.1010830
So, the vaccine may harm the immune systems of children (born after the vaccination) of those who have the so-called vaccine.
Double damage. The one who had it and his/her children.
I believe in being positive, but it seems like there are too many issues to deny; something is wrong. A guess, one size does not fit all.
Sort of the same idea, fluoridation. In 1982 or so an article was published in Nature, fluoridation and tooth decay were indeed inversely correlated, but the order was wrong over most of the world, decay disappeared before fluoride. The CDC last I saw almost or indeed yearly reduced the recommended fluoride in municipal water. Coincidence I suppose.

“Putin casts doubt over the longevity of the Black Sea Grain Initiative
Photo of Sam Chambers Sam ChambersSeptember 8, 20220 190 2 minutes read
The future for Ukraine grain shipments out of the Black Sea has been cast into doubt with Russian president Vladimir Putin yesterday questioning the terms of the shipping deal his country struck with its foe in July.
Signed in Istanbul in late July, the Black Sea Grain Initiative is meant to run for an initial 120 days, allowing Ukraine to move cargoes from three Black Sea ports for the first time since Russia invaded the country on February 24.
However, yesterday Putin said he might seek changes to the agreement, suggesting that very little of the exports were making their way to poorer countries, something that has been strongly denied by the United Nations.
In his opening speech at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Putin said he would discuss modifying the agreement to limit grain and other food exports to European countries.
“Only 3% of the grain that is exported from Ukraine goes to developing countries, most of it goes to Europe… in recent decades European countries have acted as colonial powers, and they continue to act like that today,” Putin said, statistics that were quickly questioned by UN officials in Istanbul charged with overseeing the exports from Ukraine….”

Gail,
I have a question for you.
Long, long time ago I said that Norm is a good German. At the time he clearly stated that he supports censorship (so that people are “nice”).
We knew since forever what censorship leads to – mass murder.
You did not post that comment (I assume I was not “nice”?).
Now we see that Norm supports injecting children with poison.
When is it okay to call someone that supports mass murder a “good German”?
Thank you for clarification.

People who happen to agree – sometimes but not always – with FE are not in any way imitating him as you seem to assume.
You should appreciate the aptness of the historical reference to ‘the good Germans’ at least – it makes a valid point about the last couple of years and the growing Totalitarianism we are experiencing and ho may see perfectly happy with it.
if you hesitated before kb banging xabier
you would know that poverty on a national scale invariably breeds totalitarism.
poor people demand their wealth and status be restored, the authoritarian rises up and promises just that.
and they are happy with it.
until the promises are seen to be false
then all hell breaks loose.

EXCESS MORTALITY DOUBLED for Americans Aged 35 to 44
Edward Dowd on NEW DATA From the Society Of Actuaries
Earlier this year, the CEO of a major life insurance company said death rates among working-age Americans had gone up 40% from pre-pandemic levels
A recent report by the Society of Actuaries now reinforces this alarming data
Analysing excess mortality data from the CDC and insurance companies, Wall Street analyst, Edward Dowd found:
▪️In the 25 to 34 age group they saw a 78% excess mortality in the third quarter of 2021
▪️100% excess mortality in the 35 to 44 age group
▪️The age cohort 25 to 44, the millennials, experienced an 84% rise of excess mortality into the fall of 202 (August – October); the rate of change was dramatic. So they’re around 40-50% in the summer, and then this parabolic spike move up into the fall
READ HERE (https://www.theepochtimes.com/84-percent-rise-in-excess-deaths-among-millennials-edward-dowd-on-new-society-of-actuaries-data_4710431.html)
Our World in Data shows data for a wider grouping: Ages 15 to 64. It also shows the big rise in mortality in the third quarter of 2021. Fortunately, recently, when booster usage has been down, the mortality seems to be down.
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/excess-mortality-p-scores-projected-baseline-by-age?country=~USA
yes but the good news is Bidet has order 171 million Booster Shots!!!
And … as we know the spike accumulates — and this Booster is Extra Strength…
Who wants to guess what’s gonna happen in the next couple of months as the MOREONS ram more poison into their deteriorating carcasses????
Ah yes there it is…
NOW – EU will propose a “mandatory target for reducing electricity use at peak hours” in order to “flatten the curve.”
In winter, typically, peak hours are between 6 and 9 am, and again between 5 and 9 pm — before and after work.
@disclosetv
It is hard to get much solar energy in the winter during these hours. Don’t eat breakfast or dinner, or cook it at a different time.
Oh gawwwd… you can’t use solar energy to heat a stove element – that would drain your battery in short order…
When we looked at solar the guy told us not to use anything that involves an element – stove should be gas — don’t use a hair dryer… he also told us to take every appliance possible and convert to another energy source e.g. consider a gas powered fridge
Hahahahaha… solar… hahahaha…. oh right – you can keep the lights on … hahahahaha… 50 grand later… and you can keep the lights on … hahahahaha
Ues- Less.

Same old narrative, now being applied to energy:
‘We’ll try masks and distancing, and lock-down only as a last resort’.
And
‘Just one jab should be enough – if not, it’ll be four!’

Excellent post, Bobby: it succinctly cuts right to the heart of it all, what they are striving to do to us.
An assault from every direction, from every conceivable angle.
And we thought, here in western Europe, that we were ensconced in the so-called Core, to whch the horrors would come later than everywhere else – arising naturally from the process of Collapse, and not augmented by deliberate malice and callous public policy.
Sending whole populations into an endless energy desert, stripped of viable immune systems is mass murder.

Abstract:
Students at North American universities risk disenrollment due to third dose Covid-19 vaccine mandates. We present a risk-benefit assessment of boosters in this age group and provide five ethical arguments against mandates. We estimate that 22,000 – 30,000 previously uninfected adults aged 18-29 must be boosted with an mRNA vaccine to prevent one Covid-19 hospitalisation. Using CDC and sponsor-reported adverse event data, we find that booster mandates may cause a net expected harm: per Covid-19 hospitalisation prevented in previously uninfected young adults, we anticipate 18 to 98 serious adverse events, including 1.7 to 3.0 booster-associated myocarditis cases in males, and 1,373 to 3,234 cases of grade ≥3 reactogenicity which interferes with daily activities. Given the high prevalence of post-infection immunity, this risk-benefit profile is even less favourable. University booster mandates are unethical because: 1) no formal risk-benefit assessment exists for this age group; 2) vaccine mandates may result in a net expected harm to individual young people; 3) mandates are not proportionate: expected harms are not outweighed by public health benefits given the modest and transient effectiveness of vaccines against transmission; 4) US mandates violate the reciprocity principle because rare serious vaccine-related harms will not be reliably compensated due to gaps in current vaccine injury schemes; and 5) mandates create wider social harms. We consider counter-arguments such as a desire for socialisation and safety and show that such arguments lack scientific and/or ethical support. Finally, we discuss the relevance of our analysis for current 2-dose Covid-19 vaccine mandates in North America.
Given young healthy people don’t get very ill from covid (or the flu) that number is wrong… it has to be 1000’s
Increasing talk over the past week on proposals to assist power generation. eg
https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/European-Energy-Companies-Face-15-Trillion-In-Margin-Calls.html
how’s this? There’s talk of putting the “derivative books” of electricity generating companies on the public ticket
Instread of just making the contracts nul and void, the idea is for the taxpayer to pay out the speculators on the other side of these contracts.
YAY! all the way down
this is getting like the end of Dr Strangelove
Surely we can just run up trillions in debt to extract the really hard to get to reserves…
Then dump all that debt in a bad bank instrument… and we’ll be good on energy for a few more decades at least…
Remember – there won’t be any ICE vehicles in 13 years … so that will dramatically reduce our burn rate
Killing self entitled egotistical fantasies surely will reduce the burn rate.
The squirms and twitches will be real.
A slow, obtuse, obnoxious, relentless grind to oblivion.
How happy I feel knowing we’re going out with a wimpier. Yes, it is a perversion I have cultivated over the years from being subject to the Projections of Hyper Tryhards and Hyper MOARons.

USD15trill of derivatives on the EU energy market? meh; a mere soupçon
Pepe Escobar just put out a related anecdote on this
https://strategic-culture.org/news/2022/09/07/germany-energy-suicide-autopsy/
“The whole scam started way back in the early 2000s: I remember it vividly, as Brussels used to be my European base in the early “war on terror” years.
“At the time, the talk of the town was the “European energy policy”. The dirty secret of such policy is that the EC, “ advised” by JP MorganChase as well as the usual mega speculative hedge funds, went all out into what Engdahl describes as “a complete deregulation of the European market for natural gas.”
“That was sold to the Lugenpresse (“lying media”) as “liberalization”. In practice, that’s savage, unregulated casino capitalism, with the “free” market fixing prices while dumping long-term contracts – such as the ones struck with Gazprom.”
hahahaha as Eddy would say. Oh wait … Deusche Bank allegedly is the largest globally systemic institution insolvent. A not insignificant derivatives operator, too
At some point, I am afraid a huge amount of these derivatives will get triggered.
Electricity has been sold with “utility pricing,” and it still is, in some places. With this pricing, it makes sense to put up new nuclear plants, since costs can be spread out over a period of years. But nuclear plants don’t make sense, and fuel storage doesn’t make sense, if pricing is based on minimum costs at a point in time.
Ah ha! It’s not the vaccines after all — it’s vitamin supplements!

Anger in China after footage shows residents in earthquake-hit Chengdu stopped from fleeing due to Covid lockdown

China Megacity Chengdu Extends Lockdown as Covid Cases Rise
Lockdowns becoming more frequent in face of new variants
The Chinese megacity of Chengdu extended a weeklong lockdown in most downtown areas after Covid-19 cases increased, underscoring the government’s commitment to eradicating the virus even as the economic and social costs climb.
Home to 21 million people and the capital of Sichuan province, Chengdu is the biggest city to shut since Shanghai’s bruising two-month lockdown earlier this year. It reported 121 cases for Tuesday, up from 90 on Monday. Authorities said mass testing will continue and pledged to eliminate community spread of the virus within a week.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-07/chengdu-extends-lockdown-in-most-areas-to-curb-covid-spread?srnd=premium-asia
Hmmm… more variants? more frequent? 121 cases???
hahahahahaha… this is excellent!
Can anyone see any sense in zero covid policy?
It means they can never have outsiders come in if they achieve it which I think is impossible just see NZ and AUstralia for that.
Ideas:
1) To suppress dissent in China regarding the property crisis or party politics
2) There’s something about the virus way worse than we know
3) To reduce energy consumption during a time of high prices
4) To damage western supply chains
“There’s something about the virus way worse than we know.”
Whenever a crony club of debauchery and despotism is afraid of something, be certain that it is something that is bad for them and not necessarily for the oppressed.
Have you ever heard of an unvaxxed overall healthy individual suffering from post-covid side effects for any duration of time? However, the vaxxed seem to take the brunt during re-infection.
It is of course bad with a heavily vaxed populace that you depend on for that supply of monies, fine Colombian blow, and snazzy Hyper MOARons from “poor” backgrounds.
Could be lotsa freeze dried and living “nasties” hidden within those temptations. Specially if you’ve been injected with “something” of unknown origins and effects.
5) To further inure the populace to total authoritarian control
To test run highly restrictive lockdowns (and prep their people) in anticipation of Global Holodomor?
It gives China an ongoing excuse to sanction the West by slowing down production and exports of goods to the USA and Europe.
Why would they want dollars or euros now that they can buy oil and gas in their own currency?
It’s more complex than that … China is barely hanging on
Yes I don’t deny there are a lot of problems with energy supply there as well. Which is why they don’t want to use it to exchange for worthless tokens any more.
It gives China an ongoing excuse to sanction the West by slowing down production and exports of goods to the USA and Europe.
I think this is psyops by eithe China or the West… Goods are still flowing…
Made in China goods seem to be in ample supply here – just bought some Kilner-style storage jars in fact.
And I just bought some more.
In fact, nearly ever time I picked up something to look at the label, it said ‘Made in China’. And sometimes the EU.

You’d think norm – who claims to be very clever — might by now work out that he’s been played …. and it’s not a practical joke — it’s life and death
no eddy
If any degree of ‘cleverness’ on my part has been planted in your head, it wasn’t me who put it there. There must have been a vacant space for the idea to flourish.
you are only as clever as other people say you are. Clever people dont need to tell anyone. Their reputation precedes them.
just like the ‘other thing’ really.—you are only as good as someone says you are.
One of life’s great lessons. Probably too late for you to learn it.
You’ve spent too long telling people, They are tired of hearing it.
“If any degree of ‘cleverness’ on my part has been planted in your head, it wasn’t me who put it there.”
I do seem to recall you once telling everybody that you are/were amongst the top 1% (maybe it was 2%) of the most intelligent people in the country.
“you are only as clever as other people say you are.”
Simply not true. All abilities are more intrinsic than that. If you really believed you are what other people say you are, reading some of the comments on OFW would be a soul destroying experience for you. Yet you have stated you are indifferent to the criticism.
that was my IQ when i was 11, and was in response to a specific comment on that subject of IQ—didnt do me any good in life or living. i dont bleat on about my IQ now being in the multi 100s +.
Or that everyone must hang on my every word–or must be a pedophile or some other form of sexual deviant, if they do not. (and that is supposed to be ‘soul destroying?”) lol.
If I had one, I think it could brush off such nonsense.
Or maybe that is your definition of normal??
some adverse comments on OFW?–certainly–but others say the opposite. I follow the Kipling ‘If’ philosophy. None of it matters. I dont fly into hysterical rages over it.
The adverse comments on OFW are from people who also tell me that Bill Gates is injecting people with iron filings so he can track them via 5g masts, there are ‘millions’ of dead and maimed people lying around, or that ‘the elders’ want to exterminate us plebs altogether, 6 moon landings were faked, School shootings/ the Ukraine war are by crisis actors, and (literally) every world event is a conspiracy or hoax.
—–or that we don’t exist at at all—and we are all simulations—to point out just a few.
Now—am I really supposed to take seriously, ‘adverse’ comments from the same sources? Tell me.
Laughter is the only answer to that.
I say stupid things–we all do. I just admit to it.
There are no friends in life, and no enemies, only teachers.
A wise man acts. A fool reacts.
It’s good that you don’t take anything said about you on here seriously. We all should do the same. You do appreciate that many of Eddy’s comments are meant to be humorous? I guess it’s not so funny if you are on the receiving end so often. I once let Eddy get to me. Hopefully, never again. I appreciate all comments posted on here to inform and entertain me, whoever they are from.
Being good at passing exams didn’t do me any good in life either. Twenty some years of education trained me to do nothing except pass exams and led to me being stressed out in various offices for another twenty years. I’d have been better off mentally and financially if I’d driven a taxi straight from University. Not everyone is cut out for a career.
I don’t remember any comments re Bill Gates, iron filings and 5G masts, though I’ve seen some videos. I think the injections are to depopulate the planet. To you, that’s crazy talk. Presumably, you still believe the vaccines are to prevent illness. I’d differ with you on most conspiracy theories, but they are not so important because they don’t directly affect me the way vaccines, masks and lockdowns do. I’m interested in CTG’s simulation theories, but I feel he needs to define more clearly what he means by being in a simulation and what difference it makes. Doesn’t being in a simulation suggest our reality is similar to a higher reality, and I see no evidence for that. Higher realities are unknowable.
you mean when any pearls of eddy’s wisdom are cast before swine (their rightful place usually), immediate accusations of pedophilia are humorous? If offer no opinion either way on vaxxing children. Ah–i must be a pedophile. Do let me in on the joke.
doesn’t affect me—but i fail to get the humour part. You will have noticed that i never under any circumstances reply in kind.
Polite–and with humour if possible. The only way of dealing with silliness and puerile triviality.
or if any woman commenter–and there aren’t many—points out what most of it is utter garbage, she is ‘consigned to the streets’ Humour again?—do tell. Females depart rapidly.
this has been going on for years. I am a casual student of human nature, so just for how long intrigues me. OFW used to be a genuine source of information exchange (check the archives).
people watch eddy’s vomitary, and move on.
I deliberately put myself on the ‘receiving end’ as you put it, because I’m fascinated at just what verbal vomit will be thrown up next.
Eddy is like one of Pavlov’s dogs. I can make him react to order. And do, when i feel like it. his minions bark in reaction.
No one else on OFW refers to themselves in the third person.
Weird
********
and as to my writing style–pompous it may appear, I agree. The reason for that is because I spent 40 years writing straightforward information… No BS or hysteria,. Some of it could result in death or injury if it was ignored. people seemed to want to pay me to do it.

norm… you seem a little paranoid today …
and you didnt paste in the entirety of my IQ comment.
Clever people don’t need to tell anyone. Their reputation precedes them.
Lots of truth here.
And imbeciles often believe they are clever … even when many very clever people inform them that they are imbeciles.
lot of truth there too eddy
glad you’ve been informed
To be fair to darling old Norm, I don’t recall he ever claimed to be clever, although he certainly exudes the iron-clad smugness of those who do, secretly, hold that opinion of themselves.
But he does claim to represent sanity and reason, which is preposterous; and likes to give patronising lectures to the better-informed, which is absurd.
If only he’d kept to his ‘wheels spinning with explosive force’, and ‘the End of More’, we never would have guessed.
We might have yawned, but wouldn’t have grown so exasperated!
“The End of More”? Wasn’t that a swashbuckling historical novel about the last days of Sir Thomas More, the Lord High Chancellor of England who ended up on the axeman’s block?
I enjoyed that one thoroughly.
I think that was ‘The Man for all Seasonings’, Tim: the tragic tale of a humble and pious lawyer lured to the court of Henry 8th by the temptingly rich food, over which he simply lost his head…..
what?–no book crit Tim?
That’s not like you.
surely there must be something in it you can prove to be in error?
Thomas More was fond of burning heretics. He would have fitted in well on OFW
Fast Eddy is only as clever as a 1500HP booster engine will allow him to be.
We know just what form of renewable energy powers the booster.
(there are dark tales of you following bulls around with a bucket and shovel)
and we know just where the booster is mounted, don’t we?
Do boosters save people from getting very sick with Covid? New data from Britain say the opposite.
The mRNA vaccine miracle just keeps getting more special. Don’t blame me; the numbers come straight from the British government.
https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/do-boosters-save-people-from-getting
Now if this came from the BBC … how would norm feel?
The thing is … (or better – the problem is)
norm trusts the government.
there are an awful lot of people who should have been screaming about this the instant it became clear that the vaccines were leaky because this is what leaky vaccines do.
honestly, far more people should have been screaming about the very idea of using a vaccine mid-pandemic to try to stop spread because it’s outright contra-indicated.
but no one wanted to hear this.
and they wanted to see THIS evidence that it was occurring and worsening and that boosters were making it even more pronounced even less.

People that have invested a lot into their career, not only money but also strength, personal relations, wit, should theoretically be less critical to jabs because they trust the system they work in, they don’ t have the time for conspiracy theories, and they have to set priorities to save time. If the jabs contained any bad for the masses, not only a small risk, and that should be necessary to have an impact, if we assume population reduction, we should see a loss of very competent people in science, economy, arts and politics doing very badly.
Is that the case? Did these people get a warning? Did their docs get a different batch?

Switzerland could jail violators of new gas use rules: Report
People who fail to comply with new regulations could face fines or jail time of up to 3 years, reports local Swiss media
“Under Switzerland’s new rules, temperatures in buildings with gas heating systems can be raised to a maximum of 19 degrees Celsius (66.2 degrees Fahrenheit) and water can be heated up to 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit).
Radiant heaters are prohibited, while saunas and swimming pools must remain cold.”

This is stunning! fusion reactors are now 29.98 years away. In a million years, when David will gruntingly acknowledge BAU is no longer, we will achieve it.
the energy input was greater than the energy output…
but they did it for 30 seconds!
has that changed my mind about 2030?
oh no.
never give up, never surrender!
Why 2030? Random number?
“The reaction was stopped after 30 seconds only because of limitations with hardware” … in other words, they ran out of electricity to keep it going. Thats really the other side of this equation, and something which isnt really talked about much; how do we efficiently turn heat back to electricity. Turbines are about the only way to do this at a large scale. Seems a bit archaic.
I skimmed the article, I think it was actually a lack of cooling infrastructure, not a lack of energy.
I have been contemplating Tims posts regarding behavior associated with Norman. I think Tims posts reflect a very high standard so I take his comments seriously.
It is my belief that I have not engaged in some of the more grievous, clearly inappropriate comments made in regard to Norman. I can say at times I have been infuriated by Normans posts regarding them as deceitful. If I have at any point posted something mean or spiteful in regards to Norman I offer my sincere apology for what its worth and will consciously reflect on my posts in the future. I would mention that posts that are mean or spiteful always reflect those qualities in the poster not whom or what the post references. While Normans posts have IMO been designed to portray a incorrect perception he has not reciprocated in the degree of inappropriate comments directed at him and Im afraid I must begrudgingly admit this shows character. The content of Normans posts have been and remain dubious in the extreme. I also find his infatuation with certain posters curious but that is his choice to spend his time in that space. Regardless I think Tims note that some of the posts directed at Norman are clearly totally inappropriate deserves attention rather than just letting them pass with a chuckle. Once again when comments cross the line they reflect the posters issues not what the post references. That doesnt make it OK and Tim is right to mention it.
“I can say at times I have been infuriated by Normans posts regarding them as deceitful.”
“The content of Normans posts have been and remain dubious in the extreme.”
no hate intended, nor insullts, I will just flat out state what I think I’m seeing:
he CANNOT fathom much detail regarding the c19/Jab topic which is too NEW for him, too complex, too much effort required to learn something new.
so he uses techniques to dodge any direct discussion of the topic.
definitely serious defense mechanisms at work, fairly easy to detect since he has repeated the defensiveness/dodging so often and for so long.
so at this point, I’m just giving him a break, since he probably CANNOT grasp any of the basics of the complex mRNA jab topic. (ADE antibody dependent enhancement, OAS original antigenic sin, antibody fixation, VAIDS etc.)
there, Norman, disagree all you want, but that’s how I see it.
Keep Calm and Give Norman a Break
Hey — are you implying that norm is… stoooopid? That he doesn’t have enough grunt upstairs to make it up even the slightest incline?
Perhaps if we simplify our questions and use language an average 7 yr old could comprehend … norm would be able to respond
Then again .. norm might also be suffering from form of … Mental Illness… (compounded by 5 injections of spike) — making it impossible for him to respond no matter how dummmbed down the questions are.
norm – can you try harder please
