Why is the economy headed for a financial crash? It appears to me that the world economy hit Limits to Growth about 2018 because of a combination of diminishing returns in resource extraction together with rising population. The Covid-19 pandemic and the accompanying financial manipulations hid these problems for a few years, but now, as the world economy tries to reopen, the problems are back with a vengeance.
In the period between 1981 and 2022, the economy was lubricated by a combination of ever-rising debt, falling interest rates, and the growing use of Quantitative Easing. These financial manipulations helped to hide the rising cost of fossil fuel extraction after 1970. Even more money supply was added in 2020. Now central bankers are trying to squeeze the excesses out of the system using a combination of higher interest rates and Quantitative Tightening.
After central bankers brought about recessions in the past, the world economy was able to recover by adding more energy supply. However, this time we are dealing with a situation of true depletion; there is no good way to recover by adding more energy supplies to the system. Instead, the only way the world economy can recover, at least partially, is by squeezing some non-essential energy uses out of the system. Hopefully, this can be done in such a way that a substantial part of the world economy can continue to operate in a manner close to that in the past.
One approach to making the economy more efficient in its energy use is by greater regionalization. If countries can start trading almost entirely with nearby neighbors, this will reduce the world’s energy consumption. In parts of the world with plentiful resources and manufacturing capability, the economy can perhaps continue without major changes. Another way of squeezing out excesses might be through the elimination (at least in part) of the trade advantage the US obtains by using the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. In this post, I will also mention a few other ways that non-essential energy consumption might be reduced.
I believe that a financial crash is likely sometime during 2023. After the crash, the system will start squeezing down on the less necessary parts of the economy. While these changes will start in 2023, they will likely take place over a period of years. In this post, I will try to explain what I see happening.
[1] The world economy, in its currently highly leveraged state, cannot withstand both higher interest rates and Quantitative Tightening.
With higher interest rates, the value of bonds falls. With bonds “worth less,” the financial statements of pension plans, insurance companies, banks and others holding those bonds all look worse. More contributions are suddenly needed to fund pension funds. Governments may find themselves needing to bail out many of these organizations.
At the same time, individual borrowers find that debt becomes more expensive to finance. Thus, it becomes more expensive to buy a home, vehicle, or farm. Debt to speculate in the stock market becomes more expensive. With higher debt costs, there is a tendency for asset prices, such as home prices and stock prices, to fall. With this combination (lower asset prices and higher interest rates) debt defaults are likely to become more common.
Quantitative Tightening makes it harder to obtain liquidity to buy goods internationally. This change is more subtle, but it also works in the direction of causing disruptions to financial markets.
Other stresses to the financial system can be expected, as well, in the near term. For example, Biden’s program that allows students to delay payments on their student loans will be ending in the next few months, adding more stress to the system. China has had huge problems with loans to property developers, and these may continue or get worse. Many of the poor countries around the world are asking the IMF to provide debt relief because they cannot afford energy supplies and other materials at today’s prices. Europe is concerned about possible high energy prices.
This is all happening at a time when total debt levels are even higher than they were in 2008. In addition to “regular” debt, the economic system includes trillions of dollars of derivative promises. Based on these considerations alone, a much worse crash than occurred in 2008 seems possible.
[2] The world as a whole is already headed into a major recession. This situation seems likely to get worse in 2023.
The Global Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) has been signaling problems for months. A few bullet points from their site include the following:
- Service sector output declined in October, registering the worst monthly performance since mid-2020.
- Manufacturing output meanwhile fell for a third consecutive month, also declining at the steepest rate since June 2020.
- PMI subindices showed new business contracting at the quickest rate since June 2020, with the weak demand environment continuing to be underpinned by declining worldwide trade.
- The global manufacturing PMI’s new export orders index has now signaled a reduction in worldwide goods exports for eight straight months.
- Price inflationary pressures remained solid in October, despite rates of increase in input costs and output charges easing to 19-month lows.
The economic situation in the US doesn’t look as bad as it does for the world as a whole, perhaps because the US dollar has been at a relatively high level. However, a situation with the US doing well and other countries doing poorly is unsustainable. If nothing else, the US needs to be able to buy raw materials and to sell finished goods and services to these other countries. Thus, recession can be expected to spread.
[3] The underlying issue that the world is starting to experience is overshoot and collapse, related to a combination of rising population and diminishing returns with respect to resource extraction.
In a recent post, I explained that the world seems to be reaching the limits of fossil fuel extraction. So-called renewables are not doing much to supplement fossil fuels. As a result, energy consumption per capita seems to have hit a peak in 2018 (Figure 1) and now cannot keep up with population growth without prices that rise to the point of becoming unaffordable for consumers.
The economy, like the human body, is a self-organizing system powered by energy. In physics terminology, both are dissipative structures. We humans can get along for a while with less food (our source of energy), but we will lose weight. Without enough food, we are more likely to catch illnesses. We might even die, if the lack of food is severe enough.
The world economy can perhaps get along with less energy for a while, but it will behave strangely. It needs to cut back, in a way that might be thought of as being analogous to a human losing weight, on a permanent basis. On Figure 1 (above), we can see evidence of two temporary cutbacks. One was in 2009, reflecting the impact of the Great Financial Crisis of 2008-2009. Another related to the changes associated with Covid-19 in 2020.
If energy supply is really reaching extraction limits, and this is causing the recent inflation, there needs to be a permanent way of cutting back energy consumption, relative to the output of the economy. I expect that changes in this direction will start happening about the time of the upcoming financial crash.
[4] A major financial crash in 2023 may adversely affect many people’s ability to buy goods and services.
A financial discontinuity, including major defaults that spread from country to country, is certain to adversely affect banks, insurance companies and pension plans. If problems are widespread, governments may not be able to bail out all these institutions. This, by itself, may make the purchasing of goods and services more difficult. Citizens may find that the funds they thought were in the bank are subject to daily withdrawal limits, or they may find that the value of shares of stock they owned is much lower. As a result of such changes, they will not have the funds to buy the goods they want, even if the goods are available in shops.
Alternatively, citizens may find that their local governments have issued so much money (to try to bail out all these institutions) that there is hyperinflation. In such a case, there may be plenty of money available, but very few goods to buy. As a result, it still may be very difficult to buy the goods a family needs.
[5] Many people believe that oil prices will rise in response to falling production. If the real issue is that the world is reaching extraction limits, the problem may be inadequate demand and falling prices instead.
If people have less to spend following the financial crash, based on the reasoning in Section [4], this could lead to lower demand, and thus lower prices.
It also might be noted that both the 2009 and 2020 dips in consumption (on Figure 1) corresponded to times of low oil prices, not high. Oil companies cut back on production if they find that prices are too low for them to expect to make a profit on new production.
We also know that a major problem as limits are reached is wage disparity. The wealthy use more energy products than poor people, but not in proportion to their higher wealth. The wealthy tend to buy more services, such as health care and education, which are not as energy intensive.
If the poor get too poor, they find that they must cut back on things like meat consumption, housing expenses, and transportation expenses. All these things are energy intensive. If very many poor people cut back on products that indirectly require energy consumption, the prices for oil and other energy products are likely to fall, perhaps below the level required by producers for profitability.
[6] If I am right about low energy prices, especially after a financial discontinuity, we can expect oil, coal, and natural gas production to fall in 2023.
Producers tend to produce less oil, coal and natural gas if prices are too low.
Also, government leaders know that high energy prices (especially oil prices) lead to high food prices and high inflation. If they want to be re-elected, they will do everything in their power to keep energy prices down.
[7] Without enough energy to go around, more conflict can be expected.
Additional conflict can be expected to come in many forms. It can look like local demonstrations by citizens who are unhappy about their wages or other conditions. If wage disparity is a problem, it will be the low-wage workers who will be demonstrating. I understand that demonstrations in Europe have recently been a problem.
Conflict can also take the form of wide differences among political parties, and even within political parties. The difficulty that the US recently encountered electing a Speaker of the House of Representatives is an example of such conflict. Political parties may splinter, making it difficult to form a government and get any business accomplished.
Conflict may also take the form of conflict among countries, such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. I expect most wars today will be undeclared wars. With less energy to go around, the emphasis will be on approaches that require less energy. Deception will become important. Destruction of another country’s energy infrastructure, such as pipelines or electricity transmission, may be part of the plan. Another form of deception may involve the use of bioweapons and supposed cures for these bioweapons.
[8] After the discontinuity, the world economy is likely to become more disconnected and more regionally aligned. Russia and China will tend to be aligned. The US seems likely to be another center of influence.
A major use of oil is transporting goods and people around the globe. If there is not enough oil to go around, one way of saving oil is to transport goods over shorter distances. People can talk by telephone or video conferences to save on oil used in long distance transportation. Thus, increased regionalization seems likely to take place.
In fact, the pattern is already beginning. Russia and China have recently been forging long-term alliances centered on providing natural gas supplies to China and on strengthening military ties. Being geographically adjacent is clearly helpful. Furthermore, major US oil companies are now focusing more on developments in the Americas, rather than on big international projects, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Countries that are geographically close to Russia-China may choose to align with them, especially if they have resources or finished products (such as televisions or cars) to sell. Likewise, countries near the US with suitable products to sell may align with the United States.
Countries that are too distant, or that don’t have resources or finished products to sell (goods, rather than services), may largely be left out. For example, European countries that specialize in financial services and tourism may have difficulty finding trading partners. Their economies may shrink more rapidly than those of other countries.
[9] In a regionally aligned world, the US dollar is likely to lose its status as the world’s reserve currency.
With increased regionalization, I would expect that the US dollar’s role as the world’s reserve currency would tend to disappear, perhaps starting as soon as 2023. For example, transactions between Russia and China may begin to take place directly in yuan, without reference to a price in US dollars, and without the need for US funds to allow such transactions to take place.
Transactions within the Americas seem likely to continue taking place using US dollars, especially when they involve the buying and selling of energy-related products.
With the US dollar as the reserve currency, the US has been able to import far more than it exports, year after year. Based on World Bank data, in 2021 the US imported $2.85 trillion of goods (including fossil fuels, but excluding services) and exported $1.76 trillion of goods, leading to a goods-only excess of imports over exports of $1.09 trillion. When exports of services are included, the excess of imports over exports shrinks to “only” $845 billion. It is hard to see how this large a gap can continue. Such a significant difference between imports and exports would tend to shrink if the US were to lose its reserve currency status.
[10] In a disconnected world, manufacturing of all kinds will fall, especially outside of Southeast Asia (including China and India), where a major share of today’s manufacturing is performed.
A huge share of today’s manufacturing capability is now in China and India. If these countries have access to oil from the Middle East and Russia, I expect they will continue to produce goods and services. If there are not enough of these goods to go around, I would expect that they would primarily be exported to other countries within their own geographic region.
The Americas and Europe will be at a disadvantage because they have fewer manufactured goods to sell. (The US, of course, has a significant quantity of food to export.) Starting in the 1980s, the US and Europe moved a large share of their manufacturing to Southeast Asia. Now, when these countries talk about ramping up clean energy production, they find that they are largely without the resources and the processing needed for such clean energy projects.
In fact, ramping up “regular” manufacturing production of any type in the US, (for example, local manufacturing of generic pharmaceutical drugs, or manufacturing of steel pipe used in the drilling of oil wells) would not be easy. Most of today’s manufacturing capability is elsewhere. Even if the materials could easily be gathered into one place in the US, it would take time to get factories up and running and to train workers. If some necessary items are lacking, such as particular raw materials or semiconductor chips, transitioning to US manufacturing capability might prove to be impossible in practice.
[11] After a financial discontinuity, “empty shelves” are likely to become increasingly prevalent.
We can expect that the total quantity of goods and services produced worldwide will begin to fall for several reasons. First, regionalized economies cannot access as diverse a set of raw materials as a world economy. This, by itself, will limit the types of goods that an economy can produce. Second, if the total quantity of raw materials used in making the inputs declines over time, the total amount of finished goods and services can be expected to fall. Finally, as mentioned in Section [4], financial problems may cut back on buyers’ ability to purchase goods and services, limiting the number of buyers available for finished products, and thus holding down sales prices.
A major reason empty shelves become can be expected to become more prevalent is because more distant countries will tend to get cut out of the distribution of goods. This is especially the case as the total quantity of goods and services produced falls. A huge share of the manufacturing of goods is now done in China, India, and other countries in Southeast Asia.
If the world economy shifts toward mostly local trade, the US and Europe are likely to find it harder to find new computers and new cell phones since these tend to be manufactured in Southeast Asia. Other goods made in Southeast Asia include furniture and appliances. These, too, may be harder to find. Even replacement car parts may be difficult to find, especially if a car was manufactured in Southeast Asia.
[12] There seem to be many other ways the self-organizing economy could shrink back to make itself a more efficient dissipative structure.
We cannot know in advance exactly how the economy will shrink back its energy consumption, besides regionalization and pushing the US dollar (at least partially) out of being the reserve currency. Some other areas where the physics of the economy might force cutbacks include the following:
- Vacation travel
- Banks, insurance companies, pension programs (much less needed)
- The use of financial leverage of all kinds
- Governmental programs providing payments to those not actively in the workforce (such as pensions, unemployment insurance, disability payments)
- Higher education programs (many graduates today cannot get jobs that pay for the high cost of their educations)
- Extensive healthcare programs, especially for people who have no hope of ever re-entering the workforce
In fact, the population may start to fall because of epidemics, poor health, or even too little food. With fewer people, limited energy supply will go further.
Governments and intergovernmental agencies may start to fail because they cannot get enough tax revenue. Of course, the underlying issue for the lack of tax revenue is likely to be that the businesses within the governed area cannot operate because they cannot obtain enough inexpensive energy resources for operation.
[13] Conclusion.
If the world economy experiences major financial turbulence in 2023, we could be in for a rough ride. In my opinion, a major financial crash seems likely. This is could upset the economy far more seriously than the 2008 crash.
I am certain that some mitigation measures can be implemented. For example, there could be a major push toward trying to make everything that we have today last longer. Materials can be salvaged from structures that are no longer used. And some types of local production can be ramped up.
We can keep our fingers crossed that I am wrong but, with fewer oil and other energy resources available per person, moving goods shorter distances makes sense. Thus, the initial trends we are seeing toward regionalization are likely to continue. The move away from the US dollar as the reserve currency also looks likely to continue. Moreover, if the changes I am talking about don’t occur in 2023, they are likely to begin in 2024 or 2025.

Step Ten: Normies start to go after elites in sporadic incidents, one of which either results in, or nearly results in, serious physical harm or death.
Step Eleven: Elites panic, attempt to cover up/shift blame/flee, indictments are issued.
Step Twelve: USD soars as capital flows to the the only “safe haven”, first arrests begin.
Step Thirteen: USD collapses, many elites become poor overnight, alternative stores of wealth soar as many elites frantically attempt to convert their wealth into something portable.
Step Fourteen: The truth finally comes completely out, the West starts the process of rebuilding, elites are arrested or on the run.
Step Fifteen: A new golden age dawns on humanity, started off by a new reality show: “Hunting down our former elites”, participants are rewarded with a cut of the criminal’s ill gotten gains, and their fortunes are used to fund rebuilding.

An alternative end game:
1. Out of nowhere the Bossche Mutation arrives — people start dying by the thousands – then the millions…
2. The herd panics and adheres to total lockdowns.
3. CNNBBC show non stop video of overwhelmed hospitals — bodies lying dead in the hospital car parks — on the streets — with an overlay message – Stay Home – Follow the Martial Law Rules – the food trucks will come.
4. More clips of empty shelves in super markets. No point in going outside stay home.
5. Sirens blare non-stop enhancing the fear. Stay home the food trucks will come.
6. The food trucks don’t come. The pantry is looking bare. CNNBBC – we know it’s difficult but the trucks will be in your area on ____. Guaranteed. Stay home – there is no food in the super markets – the supply chains are ruptured. The government will help you.
7. A few radicals venture out and try to kill cats to feed their families. The snipers shoot them dead – this plays on CNNBBC as a warning to others.
8. The food trucks still don’t arrive. People begin to starve. But they are afraid of The Sickness and the Snipers so they remain locked down.
9. The Booster Vans continue to rumble through every neighbourhood like ice cream vendors… with medics in Hazmat suits injecting more Rat Juice.
10. Civilization ends. Humans go extinct.

People often have difficulty considering ideas that lie far outside of their paradigm, especially when they have no first-hand experience with them.
One of the major difficulties over the past year, with which people have had to come to terms is that of people dying suddenly months after receiving a vaccination. This difficulty is because you must be open to each of the following:
•Everyone who should have been responsible for preventing this (who you have trusted without question for your entire life) failed in their duty to safeguard the health of the people. Beyond the sense of betrayal that comes with this, an even more unsettling question arises—how then do you navigate life and who or what do you trust?
•A ticking time bomb exists inside you which may go off suddenly without you knowing it.
•The fact that it is even possible to create an injectable product that could create this delayed sudden death effect.

This all has to do with the mysterious fibrous clots that seem to be associated with the mRNA vaccines.

This came to mind when I saw one of these freak shows with the cheap chin tattoos… but then I realized I was looking at the Minister of Foreign Affairs and I’m thinking damn… how do I contact that kid… he could be the new PM of NZ…
All he has to do is tranny up and get the surgery and extend the tat too his chin and he’s in like Flynn.

https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/very-urgent-after-four-shots-covid
From the report:
Oh don’t be concerned about this — mice are not humans…you can’t make assumptions
What’s that? They tested the latest Rat Juice on mice and no humans and deemed them safe for humans?
I wish norm could help me connect the dots on the above statements….
At what point do we assume norm … finally got a live round in the chamber?
They mean a collapse in their secondary detoxification. After which anything can happen but some things are more common than others.
If Jesus Christ is a prototype of an unmutated man and religion is about preserving the humanity vis-a-vis the mutations that all species undergo, why should we wonder about the decline of the institutional religions?
How can mutants have an idea of the humanity, if they are no.longer humans, but som new mutations of the humans?
We live in the world full of mutants and zombies who are just some reflections of the humans. The humans who ruled over the nature. Only a few are now able to survive in the harsh natural environment.
The humans have become ridiculous creatures on life support…
Why should a carpenter’s son from 2000 years ago in Palestine be the prototype of the unmutated man?
All genes are mutations, so it seems difficult to see what he is on about lol.
Mutation is a form of change. If we’re doing genetics, a mutation is any change in the DNA sequence of a cell.
Calling a mutated DNA sequence a “mutation” was a kind of shorthand that caught on because it’s catchy, but the primary meaning remains “change” rather than “gene”.
I love the way mutatis mutundis rolls off the tongue.
When pronouncing it, one should hold one’s lapels and strut around in the manner of a barnyard cockerel or a traditional English barrister. Because Mutatis mutandis is legal banter, a Medieval Latin phrase meaning “with things changed that should be changed” or “once the necessary changes have been made”.
DNA sequences, including genes, as well as species, are mutable, or in other words, they have a tendency to change. But if a gene has been passed down without change from one generation to the next, is it still a mutation? Under the original definition of mutation, no. But in modern, or post-modern scientific, or pseudoscientific parlance, where test tube-huggers debate how many genes can dance on the end of a chromosome, there seems to be a sort of apartheid system in place for distinguishing between different genes based on their pedigree.
The Christianity is based upon the fact that the humans were created as something final, at the top of all creatures.
The aim of the religion is to preserve the humans, denying the development of the species. Also, no religion mentions pollution.
The humans were created according to the picture of God. If they divert from this picture, they are no longer humans.
The humans as species are disappearing. That is why there is this idea of the saviour. The idea of following the saviour and try to be like him.
Is there a way out of this mess?
The institutionalisation makes the religions some clubs that require fees. But how can you be saved when you fall into the debts and your church, too?
The idea of paid salvation, various religious duties etc. fails.
and that leads us to an uplifting joyous song:
Glory Hallelujah!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjrN7ZGyd7E&ab_channel=Grimple777
(sorry, not safe for theists.)
There must be some salvation for the weak humans. Every religion starts as the club without the fees, because it addresses the weak humans.
The salvation is demanded. A way out of this mutant and zombie depleted world.
Some higher power that restores the humanity and restores the mutants and the zombies to humans.
How do people (if we can still call us that) ‘try’ to be an unmutated human supposedly like Jesus? Either they are mutated or they are not. If they are not mutated, then how can ‘try’ to be what they already are? And how can they ‘try’ to be unmutated if they have already mutated away from the notional genus? Gene editing? That is the message of Jesus, to get gene edited? Did he reveal what genes belong to the notional genus and which do not? (Asking for a friend who wants to be ‘saved’ lol.)
If the humans mutate and the resource limits put further constraints on the humanity, then resurrection with the new special bodies becomes a better alternative than reincarnation.
Having truly human companions is better than animal and similar companions.
This is how Christianity achieved such a high popularity.
Just considering the historical point of view, reading some books lately, I’ve learnt that there are many historic researches which take in consideration that Jesus was more probably a son of an important family.
He was probably a sort of Rabbi who wanted to reform the Jewish Religion from inside.
For instance it is very interesting to know that around 33 AD Peter went to Antiochia to spread Christianity and during that period there was a sort of ‘incident’ (discussion) between Paolo and Pietro about how to treat not-Jewish people and what kind of rules they should follow.
It is very difficult to imagine that such sophisticated thinkers were just following a ‘simple’ carpenter’s son.
It is very probable that Jesus (as a person in the world. I’m just considering this aspect here) was a well educated person.
And surely a very charismatic person with great property of language.
Education was not for everybody at that time.
‘As Gentiles began to convert from paganism to early Christianity, a dispute arose among Jewish Christian leaders over whether or not Gentile Christians should observe all the principles of the Law of Moses.’
https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incidente_di_Antiochia
(This just with the purpose to enlarge our knowledge)
It is my understanding that becoming a rabbi, in Jesus’s time, was sort of an apprenticeship program. It is believed (at least by some) that Jesus had such training.
Another thing I have heard was that being a carpenter wasn’t the low-level occupation we think of today. Things made from wood were luxury items, affordable mostly by the rich.
That is very interesting. Thank you.
I did a survey of hospitals on January 12, 2023 and got 101 responses.
Only one hospital, The Wayne Center (nursing home) Wayne PA, did they think the booster made things slightly better. In 10 places, it made NO DIFFERENCE. Everywhere else, the reporters believed it made things worse.
In 71 places, they believed it made things MUCH WORSE.
But wait… didn’t the government agencies say it reduces your risk of death from COVID by 10X?

Cut to the chase. Just take a “how’s business” survey of funeral homes to chart the excess deaths. Or ask life insurance companies how their death benefit payouts are doing these days.

I’d like to add to this … why does Steve continue to offer $1M to debate him – he’s done it again on his latest post… why does he not take FE’s suggestion and hire a PI to find Tiffany Dover? https://roundingtheearth.substack.com/p/keep-it-simple-what-do-you-see
I am starting to think Steve is playing a role — and that he is a bit of a … wanker.

Other than Ben’s wife, who’s Tiffany Dover?
Cousin of Bend. Google it

Very damaging to the PR Team… they must insist she is alive but there is no evidence of that
A nurse at a hospital that took a shot on TV to show how safe they were and immediately dropped over dead.
Self assembling nanotech is not a technology that humans have. That is why there is no self assembling nanotech in the vax. There may well be graphene flakes in the vax. It may be detected by radio frequency scanners to tell if a given individual has the mark of the Fauci.
Just my two bits.
I would agree with that, but amyloid clots are a technology humans have.
That sounds like a reasonable position to me too. Graphene electromagnetically moving around and/or assembling together (clumping) due to stimuli also seems reasonable. And it follows that such electromagnetic resonance would be toxic to biology. To what extent that’s out there seems impossible to say given all the noise.

thanks. and for your reply back there. just briefly wanted to reply to your question. The HTOE is just my own framework for the non-public, non-market-based, centrally planned elite redistribution of FF post- peak total liquids. It stands for the Horsetrading Theory of Everything. Sorry you went looking for it lol.
Three years ago it patterned a future wave of manufactured consent for nationalist and anti-marxist socialisms around the developed world, in service of an inverted, if you will, perestroika; away from imperial capitalism instead of towards it; but, nonetheless manufactured by the financial elite in order to best manage industrial collapse.
It foresaw/foresees geopolitical horsetrading of the major FF reserves mainly but also other necessities, that will remain more or less viable at the State -level for another 5-10 years or whatever. It predicted, for example, that Ukraine would be returned to Russia (best farmland pound for pound in the planet, and the Soviet nuclear power industry there is Russia’s responsibility to decommission) partly in exchange for dedollarization and the elimination of the European energy burden placed on it by globalization and partly in exchange for proportionate geopolitical
gains by other superpowers; on the other side of the trade the US will depose the House of Saud, formally or informally, and thereby acquire control of the largest share of Saudi production, since tight oil will largely be toast pretty soon here, and Russia and China will effectively relinquish any say over Venezuelan production and the latter will for all intents and purposes be a protectorate of the US. Two summers ago China was handed Iraqi oil on a platter, and China will have a steady bilateral oil trade with Russia. Iran will be freed to sell oil as it sees fit; all sanctions will be lifted. The US will remove all nukes from Israel and the Likud party will be history.
The HTOE just lets me play king for the day and ask myself what I would do if I was in their shoes. Anyone can play. The answers are obviously regionalization, simplification, and prioritizing the energy needs of the nuclear powered and armed countries.
reante, I’ve been wondering about what the “H” meant..
your analysis does have explanatory power. It can explain why so much of this recent war has seemed wildly fake in one way or another.
Lidia
Thanks for the vote of confidence. Realism imo portends a best case scenario for the next stage of collapse. Go figure, one might think, but collapse is the great equalizer and the elites put their pants on one leg at a time, too. I still consider myself to be in the fast collapse camp. Don’t expect that to ever change.
The Ukie corpses stacked in trenches amongst a Stalingad like landscape don’t look fake.
That is correct, Fred.
thx. Ah, don’t we all like to play the haruspex?
In younger days I’d speculate along the lines of post this landfill sepuku (Fauci Rapture perhaps to bring it up to date)
Once the new civilization gets up, where will its centre be – with a view to moving in first and occupying some strategic position
But faced with the indisputable evidence of one who sold their bitcoins as duds in 2013 I don’t have supreme confidence in my own powers of prognostication
nor a lot of other people’s I might add. But I still wonder, occasionally, what it all might look like.
However, does not your HTOE apply similarly to other essential commodities with repect to off-market sourcing post “whatever”, salt even, depending on how far the unwind of rentier capitalism or whatever we call it goes.
Yeah for sure. the media highlighting the capture of the soledar salt mine imo signaled as much between the lines, moss.
The US is in the middle of a dis-inflation cycle? Coulda fooled me.
Maybe if the cycle goes: dis-inflation/inflation/dis-inflation?
They coulda fooled me, too. I burst out laughing reading that but then that’s on the official CCP English news outlet. I think it’s always worth a read for their mindset and perspective. They’ve been giving the US a lot of stick lately largely about its hypocrisy about its behaviour looting the Third World and military stance. Epoch Times gives us a whole different take on the Middle Kingdom
I’m sure that these numbers have been carefully adjusted. The real numbers are likely less favorable.
Yet one of the less well-known roadblocks for these renewable technologies is frequency control, even though it becomes a critical concern much sooner.
Since the 1890s, electricity networks and devices all around the globe have used alternating current (AC) systems, which means that the flow of electricity in the system is repeatedly changing direction.
In Australia, it alternates 50 times a second, that is, at a frequency of 50 Hertz (in the USA, it is 60 Hertz).
Supplying electricity at a consistent frequency is very important because appliances and electronics on the network are designed for a specific frequency/voltage input. Therefore, they can be damaged by the wrong electricity supply.
As a rule, networks would rather supply no electricity than bad electricity. Automated controls through the electricity system will disconnect the supply if the frequency or voltage is “off-spec.”
https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/renewable-energy-problem-no-one-talks-about
I saw this article too. Frequency control is necessary for wind and solar added to the electric grid–it is not possible to run the grid only on wind and solar because of this problem. This issue tends not to be covered by the press because it is too technical.
That’s right. The grid is built around huge fast moving steam turbines moving at a fixed speed in power stations. It was no problem producing alternating current with that equipment.
A local electrical engineer wrote about this years ago and maintained that as the percentage of rubbish generation increased so did the ‘noise level’ in our domestic electricity supply (deviated from pure sine wave). Further he maintained that not only was this electricity not usable, it was metered and so people were billed for it.
Finally, he maintained high spec electrical appliances had their usable lifespan shortened; just like rubbish food for people.
Probably a little known fact for solar power converters (DC to AC) is that battery back up systems can use frequency control to turn them off when needed. This situation can occur when the grid is down, and, lets suppose the battery BU systems is fully charged. The current from the solar converters has to go somewhere, which could lead to serious problems….like fires and explosions in the batteries…anyway, so they turn the converters off by varying the frequency….they shut them down…
Hence, when the grid is up, and, if the frequency changed enough, you could have hundreds of thousands of solar converters shut down.
This is an exciting time to be alive. We should all be thankful. Across the span of time, how many other generations get experience enormous change? Not many.
Very few generations live through such disastrous collapses.
Statistically we are about average.
That is not contradictory. The number of people in a generation (aka cohort) vary widely. We live at the peak of human population so statistically we are about average.
Using the anthropic principle, some scientists have even suggested that humans will go extinct soon. Think about by reductio ad absurdum: if our species will continue and grow for a long time, our chance to be born NOW (as opposed to 50th century for example) is basically zero. Conclusion: there are not many generations left and the population will crash fast.
Yes, I know this is bad philosophy – but this is the same logic used in cosmology of the big bang. Even physics is collapsing…
The double slit experiment proved we are not in base reality.
“Crazy shit” ( moon is hollowed out spacecraft, UAPs are “real” objects defying physics, Sabes existence, Mandela effect, deja vu, and recurrent cataclysms) all are explained by realizing we are in a simulation.
Wish I knew why?
Is that different from God creating the earth, etc.? Seems like the same story with a anthropomorphic twist. No sarcasm.
Double slit and the like seem to have ended the enlightenment rationalism.
Dennis L.
It has occurred to me.
It also occurs that there are two levels of “Godhead”…… the lesser entity supervising this shitshow (demiurge, Malignant AI etc) and an over arching Over soul (God, Source).
The goals of either are somewhat inscrutable to someone of my pay grade.
Let’s rationalize and simplify the imaginary conjecture into:
Demiurge: Thinking
God/Source: The Universe
Good enough for me, good enough for you, no? Perhaps you want some quantum mechanical “woo” to feel some divinity gives a flying cr@p about you or the rapacious primate shitshow on earth?
I reckon the probability of that being infinitesimally larger than zero.
But hey, I might be wrong. All I need is some irrefutable proof. How about an UFO landing on the front lawn taking me out for a spin to the galactic center and back home?
Right; ain’t gonna happen.
We’re just a bunch of lost rapacious primates on a blue speck of dust in the middle of nowhere failing to comprehend the severity of the situation and rather than doing anything about it, focuses on imaginary conjecture.
If there ever was any “intervention”/“meddling” with the archaic primates, they’re looong gone. Likely they blew themselves into oblivion for absolutely nothing at all.
As father; as son.
Failed species.
It’s bleak.
Let it sink in.
🛸💨💨🌍💥☄️☄️☄️
🤭👍
The rapacious primate is about to go extinct and all it can think about is ringing the bell on Wall St… and buying more sh it at Walmart
Concluding that everything is a simulation just becasue you think you came across something you can’t personally understand is not a rational thought process.
Discarding or shoving phenomena into a box that doesnt fit is at least as non rational although much more common. Most live their life around their phone. Without it they would perish. Others live their life around OFW… Mirror Mirror.
I have largely abstained from the entire Matrix ‘debate’, but I would be happy to offer some clues if you wish.
Simply, if we only encounter this world then how could we speak of any other, or say that it is like this or that, in order to distinguish it from this one, and to claim that this one is not like the ‘real’ one?
I saw someone recently claim that men do not have balls in ‘base reality’ lol. How could they possibly know that?
Nothing can be said about an unknown X, and Y cannot be framed in terms of it. This Y is whatever it is, and there is no known X that can be contrasted as ‘true reality’ so as to cast this one as ‘unreal’ or unlike it.
It is a complete non-starter on basic epistemological grounds. And do not even get me started on the inherent circularity of epistemology.
If we were to postulate the character of an X beyond then we would do so on the basis of the known Y, and not vice versa, and that has always been the procedure of Western metaphysics.
Otherwise, the known Y is all that there is, or at least can be known.
The claim that men have no balls in ‘base reality’ just about sums up Matrix ‘debates’. The whole thing is laughable.
The unknown X of ‘base reality’, if it existed would be nothing but an extremely jarring reality.
One does not simply step out of the “simulation” and expect to grok Ultimate Reality given the constraints as they exist for simpletons in the “simulation”.
It becomes pointless, an exercise in futility and imaginary conjecture leading nowhere, fast.
It is what it is.
In the mean time:
YOLO!
Hypers gonna hyper!
Tryhards gonna try!
MOARons gonna moar!
Aaaannnddd it’s all GONE!
Rinse and repeat ad nauseum in perpetuity.
🤣👍👍
Concluding that “everything” that has been made manifest can only be explained by being located inside a complex artificial construct is a rational thought process.
It explains it all, even if not every detail.
The electrons “ know” they are under observation in the double slit and from 100,000 light years…….
Yeah, this shit ain’t real,….
Even a caveman can see it!
This sort of thing … would indicate simulation … sophisticated computer game
https://t.me/downtherabbitholewegofolks/61743
As would this
https://youtu.be/1zSrs7ohjpA
Huh? Until it can be explained then it can be considered a simulation
No, it is called fantasy, imagination, conjecture.
Nothing at all to do with simulation. By the way; what exactly are “we” simulating? Who and what is running/doing the simulation?
All pointless and baseless speculation.
Life is a fantasy — unless someone can explain how it all got started.
There was nothing — then suddenly there was life.
Impossible no?
Cromagnon, there are a few more “unexplainables” that I can share with you privately if you wish to. My GMail is chngtg.
Have you watched the movie Truman Show? When Truman found something “strange” in his world and he asked people around him, he got the pushback and denial. They more they deny and the more he saw weird stuff, the more curious he was. Until he found the truth. The persistence.
I found that Westerners or western educated people always try to explain things away in a pseudo-logical manner. When pushed for more details, they just go blank and change the topic (typical of an AI?)
The “unexplainables”, when I asked them, so far no one every come back to me, they just “never talk about it anymore”” as though I did not even tell them. Gone down the black hole. No curiousity.
Just like Flat Earth and COVID, the masses or the people you try to explain to them – they are 100% sure that you are wrong. If pressed, they always show one example but disregard the tens or hundreds outside that disproves them. This pattern is so repeatable across culture, geography and religion that I find it interesting. Too interesting. I have a degree in physics and I do a lot of computer programming on my own as a hobby.
The other movie is 13th Floor. You should watch and if you are interested, we can have a discussion

But the same is true of being born in any generation lol. So nothing can be concluded from that. Otherwise we would have been extinct long ago, so absurd. In fact there are more people today than ever before, so there is more likelihood of being born today than ever before.
I do not think that physics is ‘collapsing’ because of such ‘reasons’.
It does not seem entirely impossible that a belief in a final and total collapse has been bred into the West Eurasian psyche through societies that dogmatically imposed that belief. But nothing about history can be concluded from that. Some people incline to think that way: so what?
“The exact details of our social collapse are impossible to predict, but we do know it will be pure hell for those unlucky enough to be alive at the time.”

Hell on Steroids for Doomie Preppers cuz the mobs will head to where the food is and if told no … it’s not difficult to imagine what they will do … of course there will be men of the gun in the mob…
Then there will be the anguish of having to decide what to do when friends, family and neighbours show up – with children — begging for food.
Isn’t it very useful that Fast Eddy has thought these issues through for the Doomie Preppers? Cuz they can’t cuz they are captured by the mass psychosis…
The solution to this is … of course >>> Super Fent. It is the only good solution
Cherry flavoured for the kids … beef flavour for your pets

I’m not going to have someone else change my diaper. I know there’s always the bullet I the head but that is such a mess. And the cops have to investigate if it was really suicide or did someone just try to make it look that way. Big waste of resources.
Superfent is the way to go.

Death is a enormous change too. But everyone gets to experience that so its not “special”. Not everyone gets to be thrown in a leech infested swamp so that would be a most “special” experience.
It’s definitely exciting as we wait on the edge of our seats to see how we call die…
Any American Idol fans out there? How does it compare to the finals?
Thing is with death is that experience ceases. There is nothing to be “experienced” with the lack of “experiencer”.

I am not that fussed about the travel bucket list ending cuz these reports fuel my need for constant stimulation …
They keep me … sane.
Does that make sense?
Yes I understand completely. The Shad is in some ways a expression of the child in us that never got to speak out finally being heard. IMO accepting that inner child is a large part of sanity. A lot of people got tricked into this. I feel no exultation or joy just sadness in the actual suffering they experience but the event itself is gratifying. The person and their suffering is totally separate from the event for me. Does that make sense?
Part of embracing our child consciousness is to realize we are never separate from suffering when it occurs.
My Shad is dedicated more to those who openly mocked or attacked the Pure Bloods as well as medical circus animals who pushed and injected the Rat Juice — than the average MORE-ON who didn’t have the IQ to see through the con.

85 kilometers of range on the WLTP cycle, and we would expect about 50 miles, half what the electric version can do. That’s not especially impressive, but it does seem that the gas engine will be able to let you go much further than the i3 could. Mazda didn’t give a range estimate, but the gas tank is a sizable 13.2 gallons,
20% to 80% charge in 25 minutes( quite a range)
R-EV weighs 293 pounds more than its all-electric twin(So an ICE is lighter)

But there will be obstacles.

It will never be ‘ready’. It is not possible to make batteries with the energy density of fossil fuels. Electric vehicles are just golf carts.
There were airplanes before airports.
Do you own an aircraft? Can you operate one?
I guessed so. Extend the analogy.
👍
With a gas tank of 13.2 gallons, the Mazda sounds like an ICE vehicle, with some add-on capabilities for using electricity as a source for operating the vehicle. If a person really wants an ICE car, but also wants a backup for a little driving nearby if gasoline is not available, I suppose this car would be an option.
This car would not seem to be very dependent on a highway system of electricity charging, since it is quite possible to use gasoline and go. It thus has advantages over a fully electric vehicle that will be stuck if electricity is not available. If temperatures are very cold outside, and the car gets stuck in traffic, the gas tank could be helpful as well.
Nowhere is price mentioned in the Mazda article. If the car is truly inexpensive (which I doubt), and operates as a person expects, I can understand why some people might want to buy one. With all of the complex switching between modes, I wonder if things go wrong.
Its only marginally better than a Prius. Prius did not reduce fuel consumption one iota, in fact there is some data that suggests that the prius encouraged more driving than with a regular car due to the guilt reduction element.
People will drive as much as they can afford based on their discretionary income regardless of cost of gasoline. If gas gets cheaper, they will suddenly drive more. If it costs more, they will drive less. I forgot the name of that paradox whereby the minute you innovate to get cost savings, those savings get thrown out the window as people will consume more of it and you wind right back where you started.
Jevon’s paradox. .

[…] To augment the ongoing manufacturing of new weapons and ammunition, but without delays that could have Ukraine fall behind in significant ways, Washington decided to tap its weapons reserves that it has been storing in Israel.
[…] The Jewish state itself has not supplied military aid to Ukraine, due to concerns that, besides damaging the relationship with Moscow, providing such weaponry would result in it falling into the wrong hands.

More weapons to prolong the Ukraine war. These weapons aren’t going to win any war–just keep it going for a while longer.
Sort of similar to the denial of a certain vaccination problem.

Brian Berletic harps on the fact that there are so many different weapons systems like super heavy super gas guzzling Abrams turbine powered tanks, German Leopard tanks ( 4 man crew as extra man needed as a loader), British Challenger tanks (4 man crew), that parts, training, and coordination on the battlefield will be a nightmare. Those tanks, like Patriot missiles ( whose effectiveness is questionable anyway), HIMARS etc require extensive training and maintenance which means being sent to Poland for repairs. More parts and logistics snafus await. The experienced Ukraine soldiers have been killed. Only fresh green recruits- to run this equipment which is difficult enough while in controlled training conditions. How will they fare when all hell breaks loose in real combat against a better trained, equipped, and organized Russian force?
Russian forces are much better coordinated on land, air, and missile which means the weapons systems not only complement each other’s strengths but their weaknesses as opposed to when used as an isolated weapons system. I.e., an Abrams tank is a sitting duck if it does not have complementary coordinated air support and anti ballistic missile defense.
Ukraine has become a weapons lab for the US and western military industrial complex. The Ukrainians are the lab rats.
And on the other side of the coin ( wars are about resources and money, money, money as Kerry lectured at the WEF) the western powers and NATO know that the Bradley’s and everything else is junk, so they are happy to send it to the Ukraine landfill so that they can make a plea for more money for newer weapons to defend ourselves against the Russian “aggression.”
In a few months when spring returns and the ground returns to mud, it will be too late for Russia to have made its anticipated attack. It sounds like they would like to get a few little hold outs like Bahkmut out of the way so that they will have unimpeded resistance all the way to the Dnieper and Odesa. As the winter window of opportunity narrows, might expect therefore to see fighting in these local areas like Bahkmut to quickly intensify in preparation for the big push.
You’d think that Ukrainians would rise up and throw Zelensky and the western regime out. It’s madness. Negotiation for a truce is the only sensible and humane option.
Yes, expecially because most of the Ukrainians are now abroad and are just watching what will be the result.
In Ukraine there are only some poor civilians who are too weak and too poor to make any act and they just go inside the air-raid shelters when the siren sounds.
Zelensky eliminated opposions, so in Ukraine there are only few Ukranians soldiers and many mercenaries who will fight till someone will say ‘stop it’.
So there is no window for an uprising.
The Houthis dispatched Abrams tanks quite handily using old Soviet era anti-tank weapons.
The human population is like a human body: It suffers from the lack of the nutrients supply or uncontrolled growth.
In the medical terms: the cardiovascular diseases or the cancer.
The assumption that when we live longer, we are also healthier and we can work.longer, is thus false.
The ageing human populations are the deteriorating human populations.
Eating large quantities of processed food is not good for anyone. This is indeed a problem. Lack of fiber. Lack of nutrients.
Also lack of exercise.
The “normal” age mix of human populations would seem to be based on many infants being born, and only the “best adapted” surviving. We humans have done our best to defeat this system. In fact, all along, people would tend to die off as they become disabled. Their lives would not be propped up by all kinds of prescription medicines and replacement body parts. In such a situation, the number of elderly in the population would tend to stay low.
Older people who eat well, exercise and are able to contribute to society are not a problem. It is all of the people who can barely get along that are the problem.
Any ideas on those who are younger with no talents to contribute to the group?
Dennis L.
The system is designed to have quite a bit of person to person variability. One person is stronger. Another has musical ability. The system is suppose to lead to “survival of the best adapted.” Which abilities are favored will vary from generation to generation.
Without fossil fuels, strength and endurance may be more highly favored than today. It is my understanding that black slaves in Cuba were favored because they had the ability to do the work the sugar cane growers needed done.
Human evolution in western societies has come to standstill. It’s not that people born with illnesses or defects who in the past would not have survived, but now are also living long enough to reproduce and pass on these deleterious genes.
I am sure this is reflected in lower IQs that are being reported by researchers. Just as one farmer, thanks to fossil fuels, can feed thousands of people, only a few productive scientists, inventors, and workers are needed to preserve an increasing decaying genetic dead pool. The problem is the masses are so helpless and dependent with no useful skills, they have no chance when the SHTF. It will be idyllic delusion to savage desperation overnight.
It is not only the West, but all around the world….
This compounds our burden of ‘intelligence’… we cannot be both intelligent and stuuuupid
The whole IQ matter again –
Has been proven that IQ levels rose in China IN STEP with increased funding of educational infrastructure.
How is that genetic by then??? But I keep seeing “scientific” people refering to IQ’s genetic causes while omitting this and other things all the time.
WHAT is IQ really testing? The capacity of abstract thinking USING SYMBOLS and no wonder that illiterates or half literates will score low there.
Heck there’s even tests available to exercise so one can elevate one’s score in these tests.
We know there are epigenetic changes (influenced by experiences during the lives of the parent’s generation).
But the genetic clock of mankind runs slowly – three generations in since WWII is NOT enough time to trigger such drastic change as you say.
The higher the IQ … the stuuupider humans become.
We were way smarter (stuupider) back in the day … of course that is when we invented most of the truly destructive stuff — like how to grow lots and lots of food using petro chemicals!!!
We also invented cars and began paving over the planet….
The really good (bad) stuff all happened when the humans were really smart (duuumb)…
All we get now is snapchat.. tiktok… twitter… cryptos…
Maybe there is hope for us after all …
Surprise surprise ! There is now enough evidence gathered from different teams of researchers around the world that the experimental cocktail is purely synthetic. Analysis with a spectrometer showed the absence of phosphorus and nitrogen, which means there’s nothing biologic in it – therefore no mRNA.
What the researchers found was essentially metals – Nickel, chrome, lithium and more importantly graphene oxide.
GO seems to respond to EMFs, with the ability to self assemble into complex structures and dissolve when the source is cut – scary stuff.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/XXX88lUlAY6P/
Video is rather long and presentation a bit lousy, however the annoying music in the BG goes away after 5 minutes. Visually stunning.
This confirms the findings of LaQuin TaCo lumna and others scientists, including a specialist in carbon structures who had an ‘accident’ shortly after releasing this video: https://www.newswars.com/german-doctor-murdered-hours-after-exposing-graphene-hydroxide-in-vaccines-see-video-here/
According to Poornima Wagh, another scientist who claim to have studied with her team more than 2300 vials, all the cocktails have the same composition, only differing in dosage – no difference between them no matter the brand.
I highly recommend watching this interview to anyone https://www.bitchute.com/video/MRT2yqyMeiVR/
So if there’s no mRNA, what is the mecanism of injury caused by the cocktail ? GO is fueled by EMFs to self assemble and create cristal – like structures similar to razor blades that will damage vessels. But what is even more fascinating in a sadistic way is the capability of GO to be used as a medium to carry a ‘code’ and possibly take control of the human brain.

Those are crystals, probably salt – please consult a crystallographer or other structural biologist if you actually believe this nonsense.
You can google staff profiles at research centers (eg. Sloan Kettering, Fred Hutch, etc) and then send whomever a nice email: “I came across these pictures and someone is telling me they’re microcircuits, but I heard otherwise they might be crystals – does this look like something you’re familiar with? etc etc”
Send a few emails and at least one person will probably take the time to set you straight.
Ivanslav;
You keep on refering this to authority. I have posted multiple images of salt crystals. They look nothing like the phenomena noted under microscope in examining the injectable substances. Salt crystals are uniform in their shape and distribution. They look just like what you would expect salt crystals to look like.
Does that mean the images prove self assembling nano technology? No far from it. No matter how much you insist that the thing you witness is a weather baloon doesnt mean it is.
The people examining the injectable substances have decades behind a microscope. They know what salt crystals look like. The observed phenomena is very different than the observed phenomena that you are trying to say it is.
If you think these are salt crystals please provide images of some salt crystals that remotely resemble what is observed when examining the injectable substances under microsope. You cant. Thats because what is observed is not salt crystals.
Because these are DOD OTA contract manufacture substances we have no empiracal information about what they actually are. We have a narrative. Myself Im inclined to believe their is some truth in that narrative. That inclination is called bias from a scientific perspective. The only way to start is to identify the substance. There are various ways to do this IR spectrogram for instance. If only it was that simple. IR spectrogram is a signature a foot print it does not reveal exactly what the substance is and its mechanism for interaction on humans. All this information is valuable in a good faith investigation into the identity of the injectable substances. One might ask why investigations into the identity of the DOD OTA contract substances is illegal in the USA. That you attack investigations into the identity of the substance which is the logical starting point in pharmacopeia brings questions to my mind. You dismiss the observed phenomena as salt crystals and refer to authority without providing the least bit of evidence for your assertions. When confronted with the vast differences of salt crystals under microscope and the images of the injectable substances you continue to strongly assert this is a natural phenomena? Why? You “appear” well educated. If you have any empirical evidence about the identity of the injectable substances that is not just a parroting of narrative I would love to have you present it.
I’m merely pointing out that if you talk to someone that literally makes a career of looking at things like this, you might learn something.
BS. You are refering to autority with a imaginary premise.
“Those are crystals, probably salt – please consult a crystallographer or other structural biologist if you actually believe this nonsense. ”
“Salt Crystals” is the standard cry about this strange phenomena we see in the injectable substances. I have taken the time to review what salt crystals look like under a microscope and posted those images previously. Salty crystals are uniform in their geometry and distribution. They look nothing like the observed phenomena that the injectable substances display under a microscope.
Have you even watched the videos of what people are finding? Do you even know what salt crystals look like under a microscope? My guess is no because the two observed phenomena is radically different. You accuse me of close minded ness and refer me to imaginary authority. It is you is not me that is not willing to engage in a legitimate empirical exploration of what the injectable substances are. My guess is you are entranced by the narrative unwilling to accept any evidence as the consequences to your personnel paradigm would be catastrophic. Quit presenting imaginary authority. You might learn something. Why you react so hard to this evidence is you dont want to learn anything or perhaps this is a area that has validity that you attempt to suppress. Oh but I forgot only doctors are capable of holding knowledge. So sorry mlord.
Norman posts cease. IvanisSlav posts increase. Hmmm.
We need a new plant over at OFW. a reasonable professional authority type that jibes on a side topic but censors “reasonably” on the big one.
“Have you even watched the videos of what people are finding? Do you even know what salt crystals look like under a microscope?”
Yes and yes.
Your suggestion is ridiculous. Hey there MR $150k a year guy could you confirm that there are self assembling nano particles in the injectable substances or are they salt crystals?
Authority no longer is trustworthy and particularly so in this matter. Its a shame. I strongly believe in science and the way it has been used as a control and deception method is discusting. Believe me I wish the pharmaceutical product regulations identifying what the substance had been followed so we knew what this substance is. Without that we have a narrative. In liu of the huge amount of deception that has occurred in reference to these substances I think its silly to assume any part of the narrative is trustworthy. It could be. Or not. The metallic components of the injectable substances confirmed by IR spectrogram remain unexplained as does the microscope phenomena.
Now lets take a look at what the actual microscopic images of the supposed spike protein look like compared to the huge amount of resources spent on “medical illustrating” what the creature from the black lagoon looks like that we have been bombarded with. Creative license another term for deception.

WEF is dreaming!
WEF is a major “pusher” of the nonsense economic theories.
“Professor Rogoff warns that the US government could default on its debt later this year, something which could cause chaos for other leading economies.”
Telegraph article in full: https://archive.ph/G16JL
Central banks risk setting off a financial earthquake with constant rate rises, warns ex-IMF economist
Odds of a major financial crisis are shortening, says Ken Rogoff
Breakneck monetary tightening by the major central banks is nearing a critical tipping point and risks triggering a chain-reaction of financial distress, the world’s leading expert on debt crises has warned.
“The combination of recession and rising real interest rates is very dangerous,” says Harvard professor Ken Rogoff, a former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund.
Prof Rogoff is best known for This Time is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly, a magisterial history of debt delusions co-written with Carmen Reinhart.
He believes it was a minor miracle that the world averted a financial crisis last year but the odds of a major accident are shortening as the delayed effects of past tightening feed through.
“We were very fortunate that we didn’t have a global systemic event in 2022, and we can count our blessings for that, but rates are still going higher and the risk keeps rising,” he told The Telegraph on the eve of the World Economic Forum in Davos.
“The risk of over-tightening by the European Central Bank is nothing less than catastrophic and they need to be very careful. Italy is extremely vulnerable,” says Prof Rogoff. “But this could pop anywhere. Global debt has gone up massively since the pandemic: public debt, corporate debt, everything.”
Bursts of optimism over a ‘soft-landing’ at the end of debt cycles tend to underestimate the potency and time-lags of monetary tightening.
The greatest threat lies in the nexus of undisclosed leverage and liquidity mismatch in the shadow banking sector, which has displaced traditional banking and largely avoided the control of regulators…..
Professor Rogoff doesn’t use the same words I do, but he also sees the current financial situation as being very worrisome. Central bankers “tend to underestimate the potency and time-lags of monetary tightening.”
FAA changed EKG requirements from .2 to unlimited for pilots hearts in 2022.
“In the October 2022 version of the FAA Guide for Aviation Medical Examiners, the FAA quietly widened the EKG parameters beyond the normal range (from a PR max of .2 to unlimited). And they didn’t widen the range by a little. They widened it by a lot. It was done after the vaccine rollout.”
I wonder how many pilots would not pass the old .2 requirement now. I wonder where NFL players are testing at.
This alongside the reports Davos attendees will only accept uninjected pilots for their private jets. Perhaps we ordinary people need three pilots in the cockpit now?
Puzzling that change. Yes puzzling that.

From: The Money Bubble: What To Do Before It Pops (January 2, 2014) by James Turk and John Rubino, pp. 144-150:
[A] “complex system” system, like a weather front, living organism, or pre-avalanche snow-covered mountainside contains numerous parts that do change in response to their communication and interaction. This process can create feedback loops begetting “emergent properties” that differ radically from the system’s constituent parts or its previous state. Think of a tropical depression becoming a Cat-5 hurricane overnight and you have a sense of the power and potential instability of a complex system.
Such systems have some other notable features:
•As they grow larger, the energy required to maintain their stability rises exponentially. Double the size of a complex system and its energy requirements might increase ten-fold.
•They are prone to catastrophic collapse, and this propensity also rises exponenetionally as the system becomes bigger and more complex.
•With a highly-complex and therefore fragile system, small inputs can have exaggerated effects. When a mountainside has a sufficient amount of snow, for instance, a single snowflake can start an avalanche. But the snowflake itself wasn’t special in any way; the system was simply ready to go. As Harvard historian Niall Ferguson explained it in a 2010 Foreign Affairs article, “Such systems can appear to operate quite stably for some time; they seem to be in equilibrium but are, in fact, constantly adapting. But there comes a moment when complex systems ‘go critical.’ A very small trigger can set off a ‘phase transition’ from a benign equilibrium to a crisis …. In such systems a relatively minor shock can cause a disproportionate — and sometimes fatal — disruption.”
•The details of a complex system’s collapse are inherently unpredictable. Set a fire in a dry forest, for example, and the scale of the resulting conflagration can vary from a few square yards to hundreds of miles.
…
This brings us to the point of the exercise, which is that financial markets are complex systems, and today’s global financial system is orders of magnitude more complex — and therefore less stable and more prone to catastrophic failure — than ever before.
…
From here on, the US and the rest of the developed world can borrow as much as they want and the only result will be more debt. Wealth won’t increase, while complexity continues to soar.
…
[S]itting politicians will instinctively delay the inevitable with more debt, which causes the system to become even more complex, requiring even bigger infusions of new money, and so on.
…
When the crash comes it will dwarf what almost happened in 2008 — and what actually did happen in the 1930s.

I vaccinate my dairy stock for leptospirosis, salmonella and bovine viral disease(bvd) and my calves for blackleg and calf coughing virus.I have a closed herd. Other farmers vaccinate for johnes disease, calf scours, Ibr, corona virus funnily enough and many others. Sheep get an 8 in 1 vaccine,plus some others depending on the farm. Pigs get several vaccines. Poultry get vaccines or antibiotics in feed to prevent disease and boost growth. Ireland has a huge livestock industry considering our size, this leads to disease outbreak and spread. I do not know if a herd could get natural immunity with smaller nos. Housing, correct mineral profile etc., I know loses can be painful and costly so most farmers take the precautionary measure as farms have got bigger. Also with the free movement of livestock laws introduced by the EU 20 years ago we droped quarantine rules and brought in alot of livestock disease that way. We had a lot less animal disease previous to this. My vaccines are kept in the fridge and used as needed.
People do not realise the skills involved in keeping a farm viable today with pressures coming come all sides.
I keep cattle, pigs, rabbits, sheep, ducks, geese, chickens and a dog and I don’t vaccinate any of them. NO problems. Maybe you should experiment on half your stock and see what happens. Save you some money. Of course all mine free range except the rabbits.
Thank you for the reply. Also, just FYI, you can reply directly to comments (using the link below each) to maintain clearer context.
Can’t imagine, my farm is grain only, incredibly complex and growing incredibly expensive for the technology.
So many variables.
Dennis L.
Imagine trying to start up a farm, even a small homestead, if you have no experience. At least in the old days, these skills were passed on through the generations. The learning curve and all the failures will be overwhelming for those newbies who try.
Not so difficult — the hardware stores will sell everything you need then you can go to Youtube and learn how to DIY
Dear Gail,
There are roughly 70 million people living in the UK mostly living in large cities or towns. The UK imports 50 per cent of its food. Alot of the imported meat and milk comes from Ireland. One of the reasons London has not left northern Ireland go is it produces alot of food. Ireland imports all of its oil and chemical fertilizer and imports alot of grain to feed livestock.
I am a dairy/beef farmer, without plastic to make silage, vaccines for animal diseases, mineral supplements to maintain health, production would collapse within months, other regions of the world may do better but I know for sure that the UK and Ireland does not have enough interested young people to change to another system of agriculture and feed that no of people. The tory party thought by leaving Europe that they could make new trade agreements and import food from anywhere but that does not seem to be going so well since transport cost ballooned. Now add the sanctions on cheap Russian gas,fertilizer,grain and you probably have a recipe for disaster. Learning the skills of farming takes a lifetime and you would still be learning. The average person from an urban setting would be lost.
Production would also fall if we lost bank credit as alot of farmers have huge debts. I have no idea how things will pan out but risk of big problems seem real to me.
>> vaccines for animal diseases
What diseases do you vaccinate your animals for? Are there any particular pain points about the process (eg. vaccine price, efficacy, frequency, storage requirements, etc)?
To be totally up front, I’m asking out of self-interest as I want to commercialize some technology and vaccine development is one of the prime applications of it. You can do research faster in animals than people (unless you’re Pfizer, then you can do whatever you want to people) so it’s particularly appealing.
Also, vaccines probably aren’t as important for people as clean water and sanitation made most of the difference.
Thanks for your report. Between the credit situation, the oil situation, and the many oil products you are dependent on as a farmer, the situation in the UK doesn’t look good. I wish I could give a reason to say that things would suddenly change for the better.
“This is a crisis in the making. Leaving aside places like Luxembourg the Caymans, the most exposed countries are Ireland, Britain and Holland. British exposure is falling, as the financial sector contracts post GFC and Brexit, but it’s still severe.” ?

https://surplusenergyeconomics.wordpress.com/professional-area/
I totally agreed. In the future we will go to functional breeds only, outdoors only, daily moving, and in my northern latitudes, mostly sheep because cows are too hay expensive. and hay comes from diesel. beef cows will mostly disappear as you pay 6 times more in hay for a kg of beef, compare to a kg of lamb. but many diseases will disappear also.
Cattle are for richer folk, always have been always will be. Especially in hillcountry. Unless your Cro and you got em running from hay. I learned that the hard way. Got out of cows three years ago. Had a Guernsey milker a beef cross and a Murray Grey bull. Still miss em but sheeps and goats it is. Don’t believe in vaccines.
Good on you. Most animal medicines are 1000X more quantified and evaluated for safety both by regulatory and veterinarian boards than the injectable substances however. I wish it was legal for vets to treat humans. They are far truer to the healing compassion aspect of their essence as a rule.

Cows are for milk not beef. Smaller size tradional size cows likely the best option. Cattle is more robust and healthier than sheep. In colder regions cattle seems to have been the first choice, poor or rich. The sami people of Lapland had their cold resistant reindeers, but the swedish and finish farmers in Lapland relied on cattle. Grains don’t grow well in Lapland. Cows give more milk/kg of hay than goats or sheep. Sheep were kept for their wool not for food production.
I believe the Alps relied on cattle as well.
Thanks for the response, Christopher.
The gold standard for a holistic grazier is year-round grazing. Year-round grazing equals no-cost animal husbandry. No-cost animal husbandry is affordable for money-poor folks. Graze cows year-round and you destroy pasture quickly because they are very heavy and even though cowboys try to say that there larger hoofs equal-out the hoof psi to sheeps and goats this false because animals do not walk flat-footed, and on hills, especially walking side-slope, cattle walk on their hoof edges so as to stay upright. Cattle mud can get knee-deep, sheep mud a couple inches.
Like you say, cattle are better adapted to confinement because they’re winter confinement animals. You say milk production is more efficient by weight of hay (and pasture by extension) and that may we’ll be, marginally, but pasturing is much more efficient than haying.
Then there’s ethics/spirituality, which dictates under natural law that animals be allowed maximum freedom of movement within ecological constraints. Confining an animal extensively to barns and corrals and sacrifice zones is a specific cultural practice, to put it neutrally. Do animals get used to it? Sure they do. That’s why dairy breeds of all species are homebodies. But the cattle are still much more confined that they’d prefer to be, and to me that matters. Lockdowns matter to me. And hay comes at a cost, whether it’s to purchase it or to own the much more expensive flatland hayfield.
I cannot see how it is possible that in Lapland wool sheep were only kept for wool and not meat. When wool ewes reliably twin every year for ten years it is impossible to think that the vast majority of rams/wethers were not eaten, and plenty of ewe mutton, too.
Not saying cows can’t be managed well but they seldom are. I even consider the high-density grazing to be abusive animal confinement. It may marginally maximize pasture productivity but it’s objectively a severe outdoor confinement operation in grazing season just as it is a confinement operation in winter. Dumbs down the animals big-time, which is ultimately unsustainable.
Reante, mainly I agree with you. Avoid confinement, graze as much as possible, avoid hay since it is much work etc. Though, I claim, cows are likely more than just marginally more productive than goats and sheep, if you use them for milk.
I live in a farm of southern Sweden, I don’t have any grazing animals beside my geese. But, I plan to get them. Goats are excluded, they would destroy my plantations of nut and fruit trees. At the present my neighbour farmer has his cattle grazing my pastures. I’m looking at the smaller traditional cattle breeds, with weight of 400-450 kg. Likely, less destructive on farmland during winter. But maybe not as good as sheep. These smaller breeds can also better cope with lower quality grazing. This means they can get along grazing for a longer time in the fall or even winter. The grazing quality of the pasture declines rapidly during fall.
In many places of Europe, hay is a necessity , to little heat and sunshine for half of the year. US is extremely rich in sunshine compared to the northern half of Europe, where the sun is to weak to disperse the grey, thick clouds of winter. Hard to get much to graze from the pastures. In Lapland you also have a decent snow cover from fall to spring.
“I cannot see how it is possible that in Lapland wool sheep were only kept for wool and not meat.”
Primarily, sheep was kept for wool, not only in Lapland but in most of Scandinavia. Some places of Norway and of course Iceland kept sheep as an important source of food. Of course, nothing was wasted, so sheep were eaten.
Christopher
Congrats on your farm
Yes I have an 8ft tall deer fence around the orchard so the goats aren’t a concern. Nice job running geese through the orchard. You might even consider going smaller than 450-500kg, and look at the miniature Jersey cow or midsize-miniature, both of which are considerably smaller than the full-size Jersey. They’re becoming very popular in the states. I believe the midsized minis are supposed to be more efficient feedwise than both the full-size and the full minis.
Regarding our continuing cow-goat efficiency debate, I’ve had a very fine Guernsey cow — big framed cows — and some fine goats, all grass fed only, and comparing the hay-to,-milk ratios between the two, purely by feel, I can’t say the difference is notable. But I don’t doubt that technically you’re right. I’ve never been a bean counter. My dairy animals always have free choice hay in hay season because dairy productivity is the most obvious momentum play on the farm. These animals are high-performance eating machines and encouraging that is what it’s all about.
An admittedly important ecological argument against dairy goats is that high
production relies on grass and legumes when goats are really browsing animals. Fortunately on my farm we still have lots of browse for them but all grazing operations move in the direction of grass because browse plants don’t recover from grazing like grasses. So in just a few years we will move away from goats, and two remaining dairy options will be a mini milk cow and bull pair managed carefully on my flattest grounds or milking sheep, which some say have the most efficient all-around
efficiency given their meat and wool production and year round low impact grazing abilities. My nextdoor neighbor has some and I’m watching them. Their milk is supposed to be the easiest to make hard cheese with.
Haying is very important where I am too. Sounds like it’s slightly more important where you are. Getting a mini cow would mean you have a better chance of putting up enough hay for her and the bull with hand tools while still keeping them both in good condition. There’s nothing more wasteful and disrespectful than keeping a dairy cow in mediocre condition. A mini cow in excellent condition will outperform a full-size cow in poor condition and the milk will be of far superior quality, too, as will the manure.
10 million + people in Sweden — most of them have no cows or sheep — what do you reckon they will do when the super markets have no food? And the police have abandoned their posts?
Thank you for your thoughts Reante.
“. Getting a mini cow would mean you have a better chance of putting up enough hay for her and the bull with hand tools while still keeping them both in good condition”
That’s how I think as well. Every year I mow an acre with a scythe. I use the mowed grass as mulching material for my veggies.

For instance, how about the 70%+ thats been vacced, are they included or not in your final count? “10 million +” = no vacc damage. Maybe, you have changed your mind on this.
I guess we will have to wait and see exactly how this will evolve.
Colder parts of the world can only support a smaller number of animals than warmer areas, relative to area. In fact, smaller size seems to be beneficial as well. I know I heard a person from Finland give a talk, saying that draft horses had to be quite small in Finland. Otherwise, they needed to eat so much food that they could never be economic.
Chris
Awesome. I’ll stop preaching to the choir. 🙂
“I know I heard a person from Finland give a talk, saying that draft horses had to be quite small in Finland. Otherwise, they needed to eat so much food that they could never be economic.”
Finish draft horses were also likely often used for agriculture + forestry. I believe forestry horses had to be of smaller size than pure farmland horses. Of course, still big framed.
Learning the skills of farming takes a lifetime and you would still be learning.
I learned recently that chickens do not lay eggs if it’s too cold. One reason for the egg shortage is that it’s become too expensive to heat chicken sheds over winter.
No wonder we have Easter eggs and traditions involving eggs at that time of year since that’s when they would start being available again.
Chickens usually molt round autumn winter and are putting all their resources into new feather production. Hence no eggs.
It’s summer here… and there are egg shortages
Burke’s list of Landed Gentry mentions a few Fitzpatricks. A Lindsey-Fitzpatrick in the county Mayo, a Fitzpatrick who married his daughter to a landed gentry family , etc.
Apparently they were originally based in Northern Ireland.
Actually the stories of your ancestors trying to keep the land out of the riff raff would be quite interesting. Not for the weak of heart. I have my own share of history to tell but am saving them for another day.
Thanks for this report. My sense is that UK is essentially European, like it or not. Still it’s a hard pill to swallow, surrendering sovereignty to an unelected and frankly communistic EU parliament. Here in the heartland US, “they” mostly leave us alone, thus thrive what might be termed traditional conservative European values. Although our best and brightest young people are often drawn to urban centers on the coasts. It’s a complex dynamic.

The RNA for the Spike Protein May Be Retrotranscribing into Our Genes: Long COVID and Sudden Deaths
Houston, We Have a Spike Protein Problem

You don’t say…. they not we hahahahahaha
I ain’t got no spike problemo
“The data itself shows no reduction in covid or death”
The last American vagabond video at 27:57 :
28:00 “These spike proteins cross the blood brain barrier. . . . They have prion disease effects. We are going to see this in about a year and a half.”
39:50: the outcomes of these prion diseases. The data shows that it is a problem for both {the virus and particular the vaccine} ?

Prions are caused by the intelligent body when it finds itself in a very bad situation indeed. They are generated by exosomes which themselves are made by cells. Prions signal for distributed apoptosis of neurons. (Pdf alert):

I am fearful that when this happens the MORE-ONS turn Full-Zombie and they roam about the lands in search of the few Pure Bloods looking to feed on them.
BTW – we have a newly minted C789… ah did I say that? I meant doctor staying in our Outer Shack… from Aussie … got to chatting with her and her Re tar ded partner and the C topic came up … all those nasty lockdowns..
I don’t divulge my Pure Status instead letting them infer I am Rat Juiced (that gives MOREONS comfort)… but I do mention I have many friends with severe heart damage, strokes, blood clots – including 3 fitness instructors and a semi pro hockey player mate.
She says — yes it’s a tough one cuz long covid can also cause severe health problems.
I wanted to say – I don’t know anyone with problems like that nor anyone who has been hospitalized with Covid — but I know many vax injured… but M Fast would berate me for mocking the re ta rds (again)…
So I says ya — but having had Covid … if it’s more of that vs boosters — I’d takes my chances with Covid given the state of my mates.
An awkward silence followed — but hey it’s great to be able to travel again isn’t it!
The moral of the story is — almost nobody is waking up — this woman works in a f789ing hospital (I asked her if they see a lot of vax problems — not really she says…)
They believe — whatever rubbish CNNBBC tells them to believe.
Remember – barnyard animals – circus animals >>> 99.99999999999% of the population fit into one of those categories…
Remember – if you were to suggest to these animals that their intelligence is actually stooopidity because the manifestations of their ‘intelligence’ march us rapidly towards extinction (unless of course they think that extinction is a desired outcome for a species) …. they would think you are f789ing insane and if you pressed them with logic they would definitely get very angry with you (it’s an insult right?)
Is Fast Eddy insane? Absolutely not. HE is not a barnyard or circus animal — that is why HE quite possibly is the first human in the history of the world to state the obvious….
Fast Eddy makes Nietzsche look like a rank amateur
Do not expect much from the animals… they can lay eggs .. and provide milk… and they can perform amazing tricks. But beyond that they are limited… oh they can talk and drive cars. Yippee.
I would think you’d enjoy telling people that they were injected with cancer exosomes that suppress the immune system (detox function), which means causing ‘immune escape.’ By suppressing dendritic cell defferentiation, they suppress the igg3 that results from dendritic cell differentiation, so that the igg4 ‘stand down’ signaling becomes the default.
“Tumor-derived exosomes have been reported to be potent immune suppressors via inhibition of dendritic cell differentiation. Results from a study conducted by Yu et al. in 2007 demonstrated that administration of exosomes caused an accumulation of undifferentiated myeloid precursor cells in the spleen of mice, and in vitro introduction of exosomes to myeloid precursor cells resulted in the blockage of differentiation. This inhibition of dendritic cell differentiation is mediated through the induction of IL-6 by tumor-derived exosomes (85). In another study, tumor-derived exosomes was able to inhibit the differentiation of human monocyte precursors into dendritic cells in melanoma and colorectal cancers. Additionally, these monocytes gained the ability to secrete TGFβ further inhibiting the proliferation of T lymphocytes (86)”

VAIDS
Perfect antibodies can only result from natural infections because the immune system gets to experience all parts of the natural virus and remember it. Even if part of the virus mutates in the future, enough of it can be recognized by the cells of the immune system to protect you from future infections. If that layer of cellular protection fails, the memory to quickly remake perfect antibodies happens so fast in reacting to the infection that you don’t even know you got reinfected. The antibodies will attach to the virus and neutralize it, meaning the virus will not be able to attach to other tissue cells in your body. Your immune cells that are phagocytes will recognize this antigen antibody complex and eliminate them from your body. It is always your immune CELLS, not the antibodies that eliminate foreign invaders.
But most injections do not result in perfect antibodies. That’s because they are injecting protein parts of the virus or the message to make a protein part of the virus. When that part of the virus mutates in the future, the antibodies, and the memory to remake the match to the original unmutated part can end up being downright dangerous. What happens is, the antibodies can attach to the virus particle in a way that signals the immune cells that grab the antigen antibody complex to replicate the virus instead of destroying it. This is called VAIDS, Vaccine Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. It has other names like ADE (Antibody Dependent Enhancement) or pathogenic priming.

I personally hope Fast Eddy’s UEP plan succeed and humans do gain 30 years .
In 30 years, all these wonderful techs to drive humans to the next stage would be largely perfected, even though there are not enough resources now.
Frankly speaking, humanity can have 8 billion people or the next stage of civilization , but not both.
Civilization should have been limited to the upper class of the West(and maybe a few in Japan) in the 1910s , and no more.
I am studying the sears catalog of 1912 and 1922; quite a lot of changes. Mass consumption doomed humanity, especially mass consumption in countries which should never have seen modern civilization to begin with.
If we can halve human consumption within 5 years a lot of things could be saved.
energy production and consumption would need to halve in those 5 years.
Figure 1 shows a recent annual decline of 0.4%
do the math.
The wonderful techs are physics violating. Note how the upper class goes to extraordinary masturbatory levels to justify the enslaving of the rest. their vacuity well described in Hauser’s Man without quality, though Hauser did not make the energy connection. They should be dealt with Cheka style when the times comes, because they can not contribute anything for the future.
I read a boo from some English guy who said if Napoleon won at Waterloo he was still lost, because of yadda yadda and yadda. He , at the end of his book, he cited another English guy who is supposedly living in Paris , writing about how bad the French Revolution was.
That book was written in 2019, I think , when Britain was swimming in the Brexit mud. Instead of going after the elements who were now threatening English unity , they were still upset against France.
Some guy here said England will conquer Scotland if the latter wanted to become Independent. But how about England itself being conquered by the Subcontinent and Africa? Apparently he was fine about it.
An attempt, or quite a few, on Sunak’s life should have been made by now, but there is no sign of him being threatened. Which means England is already conquered. They showed they had less backbone than the dudes who killed Heydrich.
Harry Hewitt did marry a black, and soon I predict the occupant of the Throne will probably show a heavy scent of tan, like William Henry Pratt, son of Sir Edward Pratt and an Anglo-Indian woman, better known as the horror actor Boris Karloff who rarely took color photos until he was very old because he looked like this.

At a different point in the same video, Professor Robert Clancy explains to John Campbell why vaccines against “mucosal infections” (like Covid) work very much differently than vaccines against “measles infections,” so that you get less and less benefit, the more shots you give with mucosal vaccines, but measles vaccines “work.” It is worth listening to. I won’t try to write it down correctly. It is not expressed in terms of IgG3 and IgG4 cells, but rather in terms of how the body responds.
“The Dangerous Decade” – Foreign Affairs magazine, i.e. US government wonks
https://www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/dangerous-decade-foreign-policy-world-crisis-richard-haass
“Iran is putting in place many of the prerequisites of a nuclear weapons program […] It is thus more a question of when, not if, Iran makes enough progress to provoke an attack intended to prevent Tehran’s nuclear capability from reaching fruition.”
… So we plan to attack Iran, apparently.
About six months prior to 911 I read a article in foreign affairs talking about some guy called osama bin laden. I would take their articles seriously.
Irans nuclear program is deep. Its the same problem Russia has in Ukraine. The big birds days are probably over in a world with modern air defense. If you cant get the big birds over the target you cant get the heavy bombs needed to bust bunkers. You see Russia now starting to deploy anti ship missiles designed to bust aircraft carriers in Ukraine. Big missiles with big payloads for bridges and the like. Russia may be coming to the conclusion its going to be a long time before the TU-95s get over target in Ukraine. THey are using them to launch cruise missiles from standoff distance. Its going to be a real long time before you get b-52s over target in Iran.
Its going to take nuclear strikes to stop Irans nuclear program. Its the only ordnance a f-35 can deliver that will get the job done.
Iran will immediately shut down the strait of Hormez and destroy Saudi refineries and export capabilities upon hostilities commencing. BAU ends one to three months after this occurs. Once again the only way to clear all Iranian offensive capability is nuclear. You could probably sink a tanker in the strait with a rusty 12.7 Dshk. Its 18 miles at its narrow point if i remember. With a plethora of drones and probably Russian anti ship missiles Iran doesn’t need rusty projectile weapons.
Oil tankers are not military ships that can take losses. They are not going to run the gauntlet only to have a revolutionary guard come out of a hole and launch a drone. This isnt SKUD hunting even if aircraft could brave Iranian air defense for such a low level target. You cant field F-35s to try to eliminate drones. The only way to stop Iranian capacity to stop Persian gulf oil transit is nuclear strikes.
In many ways Iran already has a power equivalent to nuclear weapons by their geographic proximity to the strait of Hormez and the non military nature of the oil tankers in transit. Iran knows this of course. Their attack on the Saudi oil refinery was a clear declaration.
Ukraine is very concerning. IMO If things go hot in Iran The world will be a much different place very quickly.
Did you notice the dummy target the Iranians were using in the video I recently posted? A naval vessel of some sort complete with a Faux flag of some sort. (pun not intended)
If you really had a depopulation agenda you would cut off world oil transit. Everything stops then. Saudi and Iran oil production going off line simultaneously would make the covid lockdowns look like a rainy day.
You make a lot of good points.
The US will want to use nuclear weapons against Iran, to stop its nuclear capability and prevent it from shutting off the Straight of Hermez.
Of course, the US also has its current commitment to the Ukraine conflict. And, if China attacks Taiwan, It will need to fight back.
The US cannot fight wars on three fronts. In fact, it is having debt limit problems right now. Wars are good for hiding problems at home, however, so that may be the direction we are headed.
Ha! Straight of Hermez;

Cutting off world oil transit would not be a good way for elites to depopulate the world because then the nuclear power industry will lose grid power.
Hmm… no mention of Israel in all this pantomime. Or Turkey? Azerbaijan?
How about this… Israeli F35s launch long range missles to take out Iranian air defenses. B2s go deep and bunker bust some sh*t. Turks move in on the ground.
No nukes will be used. Only large conventional and precision decapitation strikes. War of attrition.
US appearing to be weak is Sun Tsu – weak gov, weak leadership, weak budget, stretched thin, weak military etc.
Appearing weak to your opponents so that they make mistakes, grow arrogant etc, then strike their achiles heal, create internal strife, civil war, revolt etc.
I think the US (or their controllers) have a few tricks up their sleeve yet. Russia, China and associates will be put in their place soon enough. Communism will officially be defeated. A new system will emerge.
The article is not behind a pay wall. Some interesting things it says:
It starts out talking about this being a decade when major things will happen. It says, “the danger today stems from a sharp decline in world order.”
I talked about financial collapse, but a major international war would be in the same category, especially if it involved nuclear. Any of these things could easily be associated with not enough energy to go around.
One reason it gives for this belief is the likelihood of the “sharp decline in world order” is this:
It also makes the point that while America has gotten weaker, some of the rest of the world (especially China) has gotten stronger.
I thought this was an interesting comment:
Another observation:
The article notes that having nuclear weapons now seem to have a deterrent effect against aggression by the US and others with nuclear weapons.
The article goes on to talk about Iran and its nuclear weapons program, and the quite you point out:
“It is thus more a question of when, not if, Iran makes enough progress to provoke an attack intended to prevent Tehran’s nuclear capability from reaching fruition.”
It goes on to talk about America’s role in the future. It says:
Near the end it says:
In my view, without enough energy, governments (in general) are likely to fail. The US government is no exception. An inadequate supply of cheap energy is the reason for both the conflict around the world today and the conflict within the United States.
Maybe not the right forum, man does not live by bread(or oil) alone.

These are going to be stressful times, but mankind has survived them before.
A guess, Nietzsche did not kill God, he killed religion. God(however seen, presented, see Joseph Campbell “Hero’s Journey”) as part of the fabric of the universe stands back and shakes his head, how do they screw this up so often. What is literally killing us is the Burneys induced coveting of thy neighbors stuff so a few can make money selling more useless stuff.
I don’t understand some of the pessimism here, the anger at the human race. Some of the rebalancing is painful, but sometimes if one puts one’s head down, ducks, things do pass over.
Sorry, I will let it go, thanks to all for helping me understand some of this. My bet is the Bible(fill in appropriate book for yourself) will be around another thousand years, Nietzsche will be gone in a hundred; thank God, no more suffering through boring, college lectures.
Can’t resist, pollution will be gone, dropped into the sun from manufacturing in the heavens(ah, I mean space). Covid will be gone, there will be something else, man will still be around.

Man lived through recent ice ages. A person would think that man could live through almost anything.
Everything except spent fuel…
I doubt any of the ice age survivors could have dealt with the double whammy
We don’t really know how bad the spent fuel problem will be, especially for those living at a distance from the reactors. Many people live in high radiation areas right now.
A very underrated person who really changed the human psyche is Albert Schweitzer.
Schweitzer wrote a paper questioning Jesus’ divinity, a revolutionary paper at that time. In fact modernity probably began with him; he , more than anyone else, began the liberal Christianity liberating humans from the divine yoke.
However, he had to endure a torrent of attacks, so much that he just gave up everything in Europe and moved to Africa.
Nihilism versus Reality
From Rupert Sheldrake, The Science Delusion: Freeing the Spirit of Enquiry [NEW EDITION], at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Science-Delusion-Feeling-Spirit-Enquiry/dp/1529393221/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=The+Science+Delusion%3A+Freeing+the+Spirit+of+Enquiry+%28NEW+EDITION%29&qid=1601398776&sr=8-1, pp. 7f.
1.Everything is essentially mechanical. Dogs, for example, are complex mechanisms, rather than living organisms with goals of their own. Even people are machines, ‘lumbering robots,’ in Richard Dawkins’ vivid phrase, with brains that are like genetically programmed computers.
2.All matter is unconscious. It has no inner life or subjectivity or point of view. Even human consciousness is an illusion produced by the material activities of brains.
3.The total amount of matter and energy is always the same (with the exception of the Big Bang, when all the matter and energy of the universe suddenly appeared).
4.The laws of nature are fixed. They are the same today as they were at the beginning, and they will stay the same for ever.
5.Nature is purposeless, and evolution has no goal or direction.
6.All biological inheritance is material, carried in the genetic material, DNA, and in other material structures.
7.Minds are inside heads and are nothing but the activities of brains. When you look at a tree, the image of the tree you are seeing is not ‘out there’, where it seems to be, but inside your brain.
8.Memories are stored as material traces in brains and are wiped out at death.
9.Unexplained phenomena like telepathy are illusory.
10.Mechanistic medicine is the only kind that really works.
Together, these beliefs make up the philosophy or ideology of materialism, whose central assumption is that everything is essentially material or physical, even minds. This belief system became dominant within science in the late nineteenth century, and is now taken for granted. Many scientists are unaware that materialism is an assumption: they simply think of it as science, or the scientific view orf reality, or the scientific worldview. They are not actually taught about it, or given a chance to discuss it. They absorb it by a kind of intellectual osmosis.
*BUT:*
From WWW .PARAPSYCH.ORG Mindfield, Volume 11 Issue 12, “Can Morphic Fields Help Explain Telepathy and the Sense of Being Stared At?”
The hypothesized properties of morphic fields at all levels of complexity can be summarized as follows:
1.They are self-organizing wholes.
2.They have both a spatial and a temporal aspect, and organize spatio-temporal patterns of vibratory or rhythmic activity.
3.They attract the systems under their influence towards characteristic forms and patterns of activity, whose coming-into-being they organize and whose integrity they maintain. The ends or goals towards which morphic fields attract the systems under their influence are called attractors. The pathways by which systems usually reach these attractors are called chreodes.
4.They interrelate and co-ordinate the morphic units or holons that lie within them, which in turn are wholes organized by morphic fields. Morphic fields contain other morphic fields within them in a nested hierarchy or holarchy.
5.They are structures of probability, and their organizing activity is probabilistic.
6.They contain a built-in memory given by self-resonance with a morphic unit’s own past and by morphic resonance with all previous similar systems. This memory is cumulative. The more often particular patterns of activity are repeated, the more habitual they tend to become.
For more on morphic resonance, see https://sheldrake.org
These items only dip one’s toe into the sea of the so-called “paranormal.” They touch the surface of ontology and cosmogony. It is impossible here to delve into these matters; suffice it to say that nihilism is an utterly false intepretation of being.
𝖁𝖊𝖗𝖎𝖙𝖆𝖘 𝖑𝖎𝖇𝖊𝖗𝖆𝖇𝖎𝖙 𝖛𝖔𝖘.
The man of the future who will redeem us not only from the hitherto reigning ideal but also from that which was bound to grow out of it, the great nausea, the will to nothingness, nihilism; this bell stroke of noon and of the great decision that liberates the will again and restores its goal to the earth and his hope to man; this Antichrist and anti-nihilist; this victor over God and nothingness – he must come one day.”
– Nietzsche
Okay, summarize that bs.
I see one point, “this victor over God and nothingness.”
That horse loving idiot; the fabric of the universe was beyond his limited comprehension which was obfuscated by a string of meaningless words.
Finally you helped me understand Nietzsche, he was an idiot, full of sound and fury and signifying nothing. Not unlike some mobs today who gather around self righteous nothingness.
Thanks, said with great sincerity.
Dennis L.
“A guess, Nietzsche did not kill God, he killed religion…. I don’t understand some of the pessimism here…. [nihilism].”
Very briefly, N did not claim to have ‘killed God’, he was talking about the decline of religious frames and narratives in the 19 c. in Europe. He proposed that ‘God is dead’ is a situation that Europe found itself in, particularly among the intellectual classes.
He did not celebrate that, but saw it as a serious situation for a civilisation to find itself in. Not because of the absence of a God, although that is usually how societies do things, but because of the attendant collapse of any clear sense of ‘meaning, value and purpose’.
And that is the sense of the famous passage in which the ‘watchman’ in the ‘market square’ declares that ‘God is dead’ and smashes his lamp to the ground.
On the other hand, N was pretty critical of Christianity, and he urged that this was an opportunity for Europe to reassess its older sense of meaning, value and purpose. It might be fair to say that he leaned toward an Aristotelean teleology and the fitness of the species.
So, ‘nihilism’ and ‘pessimism’ were huge risks for Europe in his view, engendered by the collapse of religion itself and something to be counteracted as a fresh opportunity to reassess life in this world.
I will be honest with you Dennis, I am not convinced that ‘religion’ is anything more than a petit-bourgeois posture for you, simply personal vanity. You are supposedly combative against N, when you do not even bother to understand him, even though he has been explained to you.
Maybe read his The Antichrist and tell us what you actually think of it? It is widely read, so there is little point in acting as if it is not understood.
If you want to set yourself up as a superior thinker to N then you have to actually earn that and not just pretend it?
Otherwise, you cannot address what you do not understand?
worth a read
https://brownstone.org/articles/technocratic-dystopia-is-impossible/
Not really. The writer makes the argument that a society that makes N widgets would be incapable of making fewer than N widgets and distributing them only to the “elite”. The argument is pretty stupid. The only open question is whether a situation like that is enforceable and he leaves it mostly unaddressed.
Economies of scale are part of what helps growth along. Adequate cheap energy is another thing that helps growth along. Needless to say, it is not mentioned in the article.
But taking away economies of scale will make a system work much less well, even without our current energy problems.
The author is taking as a given that sufficient resources exist. If one were to accept that, what is so hard to understand about adapting the current industrial economy to one that is even more unequal?
If you can make N widgets in today’s economy, you can keep making the same number of widgets in the dystopian economy. Nothing has to change except for who gets the output. That can serve as the starting point.
Whether or not the slaves get toasters and white picket fences is irrelevant, what is relevant is whether you can motivate (force) them.
Nice find.

The Case Of The Curious Clots – Chris Martenson
https://peakprosperity.com/embalmers-find-bizarre-clots/
“There’s nothing quite like a shocking bit of evidence to turn a case.
Shortly after the Covid vaccines were introduced, embalmers reported finding not only many more clots in the deceased but strange clots. Long, tough, fibrous, pale clots that some liken to calamari.
Embalmers with hundreds of collective years of experience between them have said such clots, while not entirely unheard of, were quite rare in the past and were constrained to a limited set of areas in the body.
But now? These clots are being pulled out of veins and arteries all over the body.
Moreover, the blood that drains is being described as “dirty,” implying that microclots are gluing red blood cells together into rafts.
In this interview with embalmers Richard Hirschman and Anna Marie Brassfield Foster (both in the film “Died Suddenly”), we hear all about these clots and when they first arrived on the scene in larger numbers.
As well, Tom Haviland conducted a nationwide poll of embalmers and sent me the results to share with everyone.”
From the comments:
“Clots
As a retired RN, if someone showed those clots to me, I would think it was the actual vessel. It doesn’t look like a normal clot to me.
My mother in law received the Moderna Injection, 2 doses. She had a hypertensive crisis after her second dose. It was very hard to control. Her doctor blamed it on anxiety and prescribed a psych drug. She is a happy go luckey person with no history of anxiety. I was shocked when I heard that. During the same year, she had a clot removed from her carotid which was affecting her vision in one eye. She had just had an ultra sound a year or so before and they didn’t see it then.
They may be seeing more clots in imaging and not making the connection.

“A friend is going on a trip – Dr. said get the booster, pharmacist friend said no, Pathologist friend said absolutely not to get
A good friend of mine who I trust with my life (because she saved it once already), is a retired nurse. She is going on a trip this weekend and her Dr. told her she should get the booster shot. Her Pharmacist friend said not to get it and her friend who is a Pathologist said absolutely don’t get the shot. The Pathologist said that she is seeing people of all age ranges with more clots, lots of micro clots, and strange cancers. The pathologist told my friend she hasn’t seen anything like this before. She said that she isn’t the only one seeing the clots, micro clots and weird cancers. The pathologist believe the vaccines are causing the deaths.”

Chris Martenson: “Finally! We are getting perilously (deliciously) close to a breakout of common knowledge. Those are the signs right there. Thank you for relating them.”
I keep picturing the scene in the movie Independence Day where the president asks the alien what they want us to do? They reply “Die, die”.
2023 the war in Ukraine ends with Russia occupying the eastern half like US occupies South Korea and Germany.
Europe learns to make due with less,, Europe becomes poorer.
Asia does fine. Africa does about the same except for South Africa that returns to the stone age.
South America ? continues to be poor with some nice tourist destinations.
North America is finally unified Mexico, US, Canada, Cuba. African and Muslin immigrants prefer settlement in Mexico and Cuba.
China does fine with its partner Russia. China raise the retirement age to 70. Ages 60 to 70 must work half time.
Japan continues to limp along.
Australia and New Zealand die. It is an experiment.
Ed,
Interesting ideas. Since the 1980’s or so it has been known that Russia was done demographically, Zeihan is the latest to note this along with population demographics in China. I am not a fan of Zeihan, have read his latest book.
I don’t know about retirement ages, I am older, like to work, am able to work, I get tired. I have a trainer 3x per week for 45 minute sessions – that takes time from “work.”
Here it is more or less politely listened to, but I think AI will be a huge game changer. We have gone from lisp and deterministic, rules based programming to neural networks(nope, don’t know how they work”).
Complexity does not always mean better; look at the Ukraine. On the farm I have concerns how one keeps very complex machines working. Sprayers can “squirt” individual weeds on the run; lots of dirt on the farm.
Interesting to read your comments.

lisp we are both old 😉

Zeihan is a moron who should try looking at some Russian population charts from today not the 1990s. In 10 to 15 years they will have a lot of 20 to 25 year olds. See for yourself.

Your not wrong. Have a look at his predictions for Russia in Ukraine (from a couple of months ago).

Apparently if they hadn’t left by now (including Crimea) they would be wiped of the map. How’s that prediction looking Peter?
He’s no more than a low level propaganda agent and a halfwit.
My eternal hope is that sad new zealand dies. As a petri dish for the worst failures of diversity the country is descending into a continual nightmare of murder, rape and suicide.
Gone is the relatively peaceful country of ethnic uniformity that existed in the 60s and 70s. The only flies in the ointment were the (not indigenous) savages, the maoris who could largely be managed back then.
Now a rotting smorgasbord of ethnic diversity and crime new zealand is coming apart before our very eyes.
20% of the population are refugees in Australia.
The Chinese own most of the businesses now and the Europeans, some in new zealand for five or six generations, are becoming their lap dogs.
European new zealanders have no pride, no self respect and will fail as a race in that crime-torn land.
And who do you think “occupies” the western half of Ukraine? Israeli development backed US military bases.

January, 2023, Japan began an official investigation into excess mRNA vaccine deaths. Here are two professors speaking out (one, from, fittingly Hiroshima University, home of that other mass death event) on Twitter https://twitter.com/i/status/1607008929430769665 abd Prof. Shigetsoshi Sano from Kochi Univ. https://twitter.com/i/status/1607008954844078080 Says the article, “Prof. Shigetoshi Sano of the Kochi University School of Medicine discussed discovering spike proteins at the site of skin lesions and other skin problems on patients who were vaccinated.
“The spike protein derived from the vaccine was found in the skin,” Sano explained, highlighting a slide showing a bright green region on a lesion made visible by a special dye. Spike proteins are locally suppressing the immune system,” Sano told reporters. “As a result, the spike proteins facilitate in reactivation of the herpesvirus.” The process of the spike proteins degrading in the immune system prompts inflammation throughout the body that also leads to blood clots, Sano concluded.
“The function of the spike proteins to produce adverse reactions is formation of blood clots,” Sano explained. “And even worse, spike proteins can also locally induce inflammation.” Agreeing that a suppressed immune system makes someone more vulnerable to infection, Sano went on to say, “I don’t know if I should say this, but it has been found that vaccinated people are more likely to get coronavirus than unvaccinated people.”
“Sometimes, things that are not good are introduced into the human body. Vaccination may cause our overall immune system to fail to fight against such bad things,” he warned. The doctors’ investigations come as Kyoto University Prof. Emeritus Dr. Masanori Fukushima slammed Japan’s Ministry of Health for refusing to halt its Covid vaccination program, citing data showing a number of adverse reactions and deaths stemming from the jab.”
Is this suspicion of the vax “conspiracy theory” among 120 million Japanese too?
The only first world nations to avoid mRNA Russia and China. Who are the smart people?

Still waiting on the Bossche Mutation … he’s been absolutely correct so far though — endless mutations caused by the Rat Juice… it’s continues to become more contagious .. all we need is the deadly part to kick in
FE, think about it. What if there is really no COVID at all and the whole thing is just a made up she-bang? so, that means there is no “deadly” virus circulating, thus, no deadly variants or Marek’s disease?
Think about it – The symptoms are the same cold and you need to get a PCR test (which is not meant to do this type of testing anyway) to know if you have the COVID. Huh?
We’ll soon find out if that’s programmed into the simulation … it’s of course not real .. but it will feel real when everyone is dying … and we are starving.
I have a feeling that collapse will only happen if the simulation creator allows it to collapse. Nuclear war is too easy. A deadly pandemic is also too easy….
Let us wait and see
Good advice. Live your life. Leave foolish ideas to fools.
Exactly… a plandemic of positive PCRs and propaganda does not an ELE make.
