A common belief is that if the world does not have adequate energy, the result will be high prices. These high prices will allow more fossil fuels to be extracted or will allow renewables to substitute for fossil fuels.
In my view, the real issue is quite different: Inadequate energy supply of the types the economy requires can be expected to affect the economy in a way that causes it to become “unglued.” The economy will gradually fall apart as infighting becomes more of a problem. Goods won’t necessarily be high-priced; many simply won’t be available at any price. Political parties will fragment. Conflict within countries, such as the recent Wagner conflict with the military leadership in Russia, will become more common.
It has become fashionable to use models to predict the future, but simple models do not consider real-world dynamics. They don’t consider the importance of already existing infrastructure and the types of energy products this infrastructure requires. They don’t consider the importance of continuing food production. They don’t consider the dynamics of “not enough goods and services to go around.”
In this post, I will look at some pieces of evidence that suggest we should expect the world economy to become unglued as limits are hit. A corollary is that we cannot expect a transition to a world powered by renewables to work.
[1] It is easy to show that the energy supplies of a finite world will eventually fall short.
Anyone can model the energy supplies of a finite world as a bucket of sand and a scooper. If the scooper is used to remove the sand from the bucket, it will eventually become empty. If we start with a larger bucket of sand, perhaps the process can be delayed. Or, if we use a smaller scooper, the process will be delayed. But the result will be the same.
Back in 1957, Rear Admiral Hyman Rickover of the US Navy gave a speech in which he said,
For it is an unpleasant fact that according to our best estimates, total fossil fuel reserves recoverable at not over twice today’s unit cost, are likely to run out at some time between the years 2000 and 2050, if present standards of living and population growth rates are taken into account.
In this speech, Rickover pointed out the importance of fossil fuels to maintain our standard of living and to win wars. It was clear to the military that fossil fuel energy supplies were tremendously important in preventing future problems for the economy.
[2] History shows that economies tend to grow and eventually collapse.
Economies tend to operate in cycles, as illustrated in Figure 1.
The eight economies analyzed by Turchin and Nefedov moved into a new area or acquired a new energy resource. These economies tended to grow for a long periods, well over 100 years, until the populations hit the carrying capacity of the available resources. These economies were able to work around these resource limits during a period of Stagflation, which typically lasted about 50 to 60 years. Eventually, the problems became too great to be overcome. A Crisis Period of falling population and GDP, lasting 20 to 50 years, typically ensued.
[3] The world economy today seems to be following a similar cycle based on its use of fossil fuels. In fact, we seem to be in the Crisis Period of such a cycle.
Today’s fossil fuel-based world economy started growing at varying times, in various places around the world, becoming well established by the early 1800s. It seems to have hit a Stagflation Period between 1970 and 1980. Recent patterns in oil supply per capita, interest rates, and debt levels suggest to me that the world economy has entered the Crisis Period of the current cycle.
To me, oil supply, particularly crude oil supply, is exceptionally important in keeping the economy growing because it is heavily used in producing the food supply and transporting it to market. In fact, it is heavily used in transportation of all kinds. We can see what is going wrong by looking at the trend in crude oil per capita (blue line on Figure 2).
On Figure 2, a line is drawn at 2005, when many people believe that peak “conventional” oil was reached. The line at 2009 points out the long-term slide in oil consumption per capita between 2005 and 2009, related at least in part to the Great Recession of 2008-2009. There was another steep drop in crude oil per capita in 2020, and this drop has not been made up. Cutbacks in drilling and low oil prices suggest that per capita consumption may never recover to the 2018 level.
US interest rates over time indicate a clear up and down pattern, with increases to 1981, and mostly decreases since then (Figure 3). Raising interest rates is like putting brakes on the economy because it makes monthly payments on loans higher. Lowering interest rates is like pressing on the accelerator.
The US was in a Stagflation Period after 1980. Lower interest rates helped push the economy along, at least until they could go no lower. The first place falling interest rates stalled was in 2008, when they hit zero for the shortest-term debt. About the beginning of 2021, interest rates started to rise, to try to stop inflation.
At the same time, the US’s ability to add to debt, except US government debt, seems to have stalled about 2008 and again in 2021.
The combination of Figures 2, 3, and 4 suggests that the world economy has been on shaky ground since 2008. The US economy has been operating with incredibly low interest rates. If the world loses the ability to hide energy problems behind ever-lower interest and ever-higher debt, (particularly government debt), many parts of the economy could start coming apart.
[4] The world’s total energy supply must increase at least as fast as population to keep the economy growing and away from collapse.
A couple of years ago, I did an analysis of the growth in energy consumption compared to the growth of population over the period 1820 to 2020. I found that when energy consumption was rising faster than population, there tended to be a rise in standards of living. When energy consumption grew only as fast as population, problematic things (such as wars and governmental collapses) tended to happen (Figure 5).
On Figure 5, the sum of red and blue areas represents world energy consumption growth by 10-year periods. The blue areas represent population growth percentages during these 10-year periods. The red area is determined by subtraction. It represents the amount of energy consumption growth that is “left over” for growth in standards of living. When growth in energy consumption was inadequate, wars tended to take place, and the collapse of the central government of the Soviet Union took place.
We are now at a point where energy consumption may decrease dramatically in future years, especially if we attempt to convert to a system based on intermittent wind and solar. The drop in energy consumption, relative to population, would likely be far worse than any situation we have experienced in the past. Besides being inadequate in quantity, wind and solar are not adapted to handling our most basic need, which is for providing the inputs farmers require to provide us with food.
[5] A key to understanding the role of fuels of the right kinds is understanding the physics-based way that the economy operates.
The economy is very much like the human body. The operation of both is governed by the laws of physics. The human body needs to consume a variety of food products. Alternative foods can be substituted, but the overall quantity of food needs to be sufficient for the population and their level of activity.
Likewise, the world economy requires a variety of energy products to operate. Substitutions can sometimes be made, but the overall quantity must be sufficient to support the activities of the economy, including providing adequate food and water for the population and ways to transport these items to the population that needs them.
There are other similarities, as well. Humans start out as small babies. Eventually, humans grow old. In the years leading up to death, they often become frail. The cycle downward at the end of an economy’s life is somewhat similar. Economies, even the world economy, cannot last forever.
[6] To build and maintain cities, it is necessary for energy to be easily storable.
In his book, Against the Grain, the American political scientist James C. Scott points out that in order for governments to grow and to provide infrastructure for cities, it is necessary to tax farmers. Grain is ideal for this; taxing a root crop such as sweet potatoes does not work well. Root crops are hard to see when they are growing. They also are harder to transport and store.
Clearly, farmers must have a surplus of storable energy to make cities and good roads work. They must be able to produce this surplus energy in a sufficiently profitable way that governments can tax it and use the proceeds for the benefit of the overall population.
I think that excess storable energy is the true “net energy” that some authors write about. A city cannot operate only when the wind happens to be blowing or the sun happens to be shining. Everyone would clog the roads at the same time, trying to get to a job that might last only a few minutes. Even today, if a city is to have electricity when it is needed, even in winter, there needs to be a storable supply of fuel to provide this electricity. Batteries cannot provide this level of storage; we would run out of materials.
Cities are essential for the sharing of ideas and for the operation of major industries.
We can have an economy of hunter-gatherers running on intermittent energy alone. We might even be able to have cities based on stored grain, as civilizations did in the past. But the population would need to be far less than today’s 8 billion.
[7] Both energy density and storability are needed if the world’s population is to be fed.
A farmer needs machines that are not so heavy that they will sink into the soil. Soil compaction is also an issue with heavy machines. If soil is compacted, water cannot make its way through the pores properly. Rain will tend to run off, causing erosion, instead of sinking in, to provide longer-term benefit. Soil compaction is already a problem with today’s large machinery. Less dense fuels, or the use of heavy battery packs, will make the problem even worse.
Energy dense fuel is also needed for the transportation of food. In fact, energy dense fuel, such as diesel or jet fuel, is used in nearly all of today’s very large vehicles. Heavy vehicles operated in situations that require very large bursts of power especially need energy dense fuel. Examples include semi-trailer trucks, buses that drive up steep hills, airplanes that need bursts of power to take off, agricultural vehicles that might get stuck in mud, and vehicles used in construction and road making.
Trains operating on smooth tracks, with limited gradients, don’t need the same bursts of power, so they are sometimes electric. Boats don’t generally need large bursts of power, but boats generally use an energy-dense liquid fuel to propel them on long journeys. Storing enough electricity in batteries to power such long journeys would be impractical.
The recently published 2023 Statistical Review of World Energy (now produced by the Energy Institute, instead of BP) shows that the heavier, more energy-dense types of burnable oil have been falling as a share of the world’s oil supply.
These heavier grades are the ones best suited to essential future energy needs, and they seem to be depleting the most quickly.
[8] Added complexity is deceptive. It looks like it can save energy, but it tends to increase wage disparities and makes the overall system more fragile.
Added complexity for an economy includes changes such as more built infrastructure (roads, dams, bridges), larger businesses, more specialization of workers, more international trade, and longer supply chains. It is easy for modelers to assume that these changes have no energy cost, but in reality, they do.
Changes enabling growing complexity go hand in hand with more debt and more financialization of the economy. With greater complexity, owners and managers of businesses, as well as highly trained workers, tend to receive a disproportionate share of the wealth. This means that little is left over for non-elite workers. These wage and wealth disparities lead to the unhappiness of the lower-paid workers. This is especially the case during economic downturns.
With added complexity, the system becomes more fragile. Supply lines become longer, so missing parts are more likely to be a problem. Repair parts for wind turbines may become unavailable, for example. The US grid would need massive improvements to handle the proposed increase in wind and solar power, and the demands of EVs. All of the simultaneous commodity demands may become too much for suppliers to meet.
Even changes in financial systems could be a serious problem. With the conflict over the SWIFT money processing system, will one group of countries start using a different financial exchange program, such as Iran’s financial messaging system SEPAM? Will Western nations find themselves cut off from purchasing inputs they depend upon?
[9] Modeling underlying the analysis for the 1972 book The Limits to Growth shows that (total materials required for reinvestment each year) as a percentage of (total economic output) is an important limit.
Somehow, the economy must provide enough goods and services both for the needs of the current members of the economy and for the investment needed to keep the system operating in the future.
The economy is squeezed in three different ways:
- The population keeps growing, and each person needs food, clothing, and a variety of services.
- Resources of all kinds (not just fossil fuels) become more difficult to extract due to depletion. More of the output of the economy needs to go into investment, just to get the same quantity of copper, lithium, nickel, and minerals of all kinds, including fossil fuels.
- With the rising population and increasing resource use, pollution becomes a bigger problem. Mitigation efforts lead to a need to use more resources to keep pollution away from humans.
To keep the system operating, we cannot spend very much on the combination of resource extraction and pollution control, or there will not be enough resources left to meet the needs of the growing population.
This combination limit tells me is that a rapid transition of any kind toward any new energy type, even toward the use of “green energy,” is not likely to work well. There is a reason why past transitions to new energy types have been very slow. The economy cannot invest enough without starving other parts of the economy.
Some people have interpreted this combination limit as an Energy Return on Energy Investment limit of perhaps 10:1, but it seems to me to be a far more serious limit than this. At a minimum, all types of resources, including those for backup batteries and additional long distance transmission lines, must be included in any calculation for renewables.
Also, to keep the system operating, any shift from fossil fuels to renewables cannot have a delayed payback period, relative to fossil fuels, or the huge up-front investment will become a problem. The up-front investment in renewables will be higher, but there will not be enough output to support the economy. The “real” economy does not operate on an accrual basis; people need to eat every day, and aluminum smelters expect to operate every day.
As I mentioned previously, renewables aren’t really helpful for growing food. Nor are reliable enough to power aluminum smelters, so there is a real issue as to whether they should even be considered as possible substitutes for fossil fuels. They are simply add-ons to the fossil fuel system to avoid having to talk about our fossil fuel supply problems. Reframing the issue as “wanting to move away from fossil fuels to prevent climate change” saves having to talk about the inadequate fossil fuel supply problem, and the fact that fossil fuels are what make today’s lifestyle possible.
[10] Energy prices must be both high enough for producers to make a profit and low enough for consumers to afford goods made with these energy products.
It is the conflict between the needs of consumers and producers that tends to bring fossil fuel energy production down. Consumers say, “We can’t stand oil (or natural gas or electricity) prices this high, and demand that politicians hold prices down.” In fact, this just recently happened in Australia with natural gas prices. Without an adequate profit motive, drillers cut back on drilling and production falls.
Renewables have gotten mandates and subsidies, especially the subsidy of going first on the electric grid. It is these subsidies and mandates that have made investments in wind turbines and solar panels attractive. Once governments have more financial problems and these subsidies disappear, owners are likely to stop making repairs to these systems. They will not last longer than fossil fuel-based systems, in my opinion.
[11] Conclusion: We are in uncharted territory.
I mentioned that the Great Recession of 2008-2009 seemed to mark the beginning of the downturn. More financial problems are no doubt ahead, but other kinds of strange events may also occur.
It seems possible that Covid, its vaccines, and the restrictions in 2020 may even have been part of the “ungluing.” Self-organizing physics-based systems act strangely. World oil supply started declining in 2019. Militaries around the world have been concerned about fossil fuel limits for many years. Militaries have also been deeply involved with germ warfare. Economies around the world were experiencing financial problems. The shutdowns conveniently reduced demand and prices for oil, while giving economies around the world an excuse for more debt. The problems were kicked down the road until 2022 and 2023, when they reappeared as inflation.
We can’t know what lies ahead, but it may be very strange, indeed.

Dependency on debt does strange things to an economy. (So does depletion of minerals of all kinds.)
Eventually policy-makers turn the dials to 11 and nothing happens. Their supposedly god-like powers are revealed as mere trickery once the real-world intrudes. What were taken as strong signals turn out to be noise.

More bad news about the Chinese economy:
https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/china-export-growth-plunges-sparking-global-growth-fears
Reportedly China still pumping out solar panels (75% of finalized panel production in the world) and I wonder if this is due in part to maintain “full employment,” even if produced below cost?
Prices for fixed 100 watt solar panels like Renogy and HQSC have remained remarkably flat over the past several years, and no surge in prices for lithium batteries, as a slew of consumer solar powered battery units have come on line. I wonder how long it will last? These are being heavily subsidized I am sure. Just bought 2 Bluetti B300s to add to the 200ACMax. Ordinarily I would wait another two or three years, but I am now facing the theoretical dilemma of whether I should get them now while the USD still has value and the prices are cheap and are available, or face the prospect of waiting and “saving” my money in 4% money market accounts and risk losing it to inflation or outright foreign exchange futures or unexpected non availability if trade gets shut down. Either way, I probably won’t use them, and will leave them for my daughter, so at least she can not be accused of being the self centered hypocrite like her dad who has in fact purchased what will be a big F U upon humanity down the road when these things have to be disposed of in the burgeoning landfills. My building anger overwhelms any sense of conscience I used to have.
But in my admittedly twisted mind, these are the choices I make based on this wildly distorted, corrupt, debt ridden, currency debasement in the context of stealth decreases in energy, water, and natural resources and an absolutely parasite ridden government.
Issues we all wrestle with to some degree, Hubbs.
‘Hell is empty and all the devils are here!’ And to some degree we have to be ‘devils’ too in making our short-term survival choices and participating to any degree in this often grotesque and surreal ‘real life’.

Here’s some info on the guy Janet Yellen just met with
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbOALJIaB_U
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s visit to China takes place this July. Many media outlets predict she will meet with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng. As Xi Jinping’s close ally, he replaced former Vice Premier Liu He. Traditionally, this position is the equivalent of the U.S. Treasury Secretary, in charge of China’s financial policy. This has raised concerns about China’s economic recovery, as the vice premier has a notable track record of building a ghost city in Tianjin.
It does look like a problem. Keeping demand for new buildings up requires a growing population of people who can afford the buildings. With a shrinking population, there is definitely a problem. The cost of building goes up with coal depletion also.
This YT channel is full of detailed reporting on China. Here’s a good example on what’s happening in the EV space.
It sounds like far too many EV cars are being produced, relative to demand. The inventory of unsold cars is growing; manufacturers are having problems with far too low prices.

Interesting. If they manage to convince court to look for some evidences they might have a good chance. This might have an impact on other European courts.
This is like Spain, where a politician or other official accused of lies or corruption will counter with a charge of ‘impugning their honour’ or some such thing.

This blog is commented by those who are kinda older, but respect on the older pop will probably disappear fast as resources dwindle.
Some people say ‘they spent their entire life for that’. I say, ‘Yes, their lives were wasted for nothing.” They will be deemed worthless.
In the old days, the experience of the old was respected. Now it is worth nothing. Of course some older people in this blog will try to refute it but I think their experience will actually be detrimental for resolving this crisis.
Long ago, I considered a hypothetical where the cities have to empty so that more farming/cultivation must be performed, and I pondered how much land/effort would be wasted just building fences.
On my 10ac, I have chickens & goats on my paddocks and my neighbour mows his vast front yard, And I marvel at the requirement of private property to maintain skin-in-the-game far far more than an urban person is aware. And I also marvel at the potential that all these neighbouring fallow paddocks (aka lawns) require collective management to feed multiple households far more than non-urban people believe.
So the worthless argument ‘they spent their entire life for that’ is a fearsome condition because it cuts in every way as there is a scramble for certainty. The feudal is a credible fear because the person who socially acceptably wins the ‘I present and I make certainty’ game (for there can be no trust in institutions all those old people made) becomes an institution unto himself. Feudalism may not be the only move on the chessboard, yet the master’s table is already set where the master could be seated.
the problem with self subsistence from the land, is that the vast majority wouldnt have a clue how to do it–me included
i asked a farmer friend of mind, who’s cows always look in show condition—how you know if a cow is ok?
Answer–you just look at them—something beyond the average skill
then if you grow food—you have to store it to last till next harvest
It’s true and having dabbled most of my life with gardens and a few years with chickens, I tell people it’s a lot easier getting to know the experts and lend a hand if you can. Or, better yet, live near an operation like this one. They even serve lunch to the locals.

I have hundreds of cows (and bison)….I look at them all the time….
They tend to stay alive
I am glad I have above average skills in something.
All those years in higher edumacation and it has come to this lolololol.

luckier still if we get to use it
A century of false dreams is over as NATO fails to find any resolutions.
It is back to the bad old days of feudalism, no social mobility and everyone knowing their places.

This is not really a surprise. All of the countries had different ideas for success.
@Kulm Feudalism is not a natural state before any more sophisticated other forms of governing. In Europe it was established in the moment when the trade of metals allowed a surplus in agriculture a much as protection of the routes. During the Völkerwanderung was no central power and neither before. In Asia there is the idea that irrigation needs lead to central powers. Greece and Rome we could discuss. The Vikings as seafarers did not need any central administration, so that’s not a good explanation.
Assumed the present fossile based civilisation breaks down, why should a Middle Age structure establish? This structure is based on the old shifting cultivation farmers. These do not exist today.
I am not so convinced, that, when the authority of the states break down, the old families are prepared to jump in, neither Harry nor Elon nor Hunter. And I doubt that any warlords will move around as landsquenets, because they would have to invent the technology first. Bow construction is not trivial, especially when you cant distinguish yew from spruce…
All the old crafts require an attitude and an intelligence which is the embodiment of centuries of experience: in both the materials and local conditions.
Learning book restoration from a teacher trained in the 1940’s, himself taught by those trained in the 1890’s, was eye-opening.

Good fortune to know a master craftsman. That must have been something to work with him. I’ve been around the wood side of the equation a bit, photo shoots, sanding, pounding pegs in timber-frames, but nothing like that. I enjoyed collecting stories a long time ago from old guys who were grown men in the 1930’s. Woke up one morning and wrote these lyrics in a flash of remembrance. It goes like Jimmy Dean’s song Big Bad John. This is how he told it to me.
Every mornin’ at the shop, you’d see him arrive,
Slide-rule in his pocket, and a gleam in his eye,
Ready to work transformin’ steel,
Into engine blocks and fenders and wheels.
No one knew where Frank learned his trade,
Came outta that Depression, ready made,
Didn’t act tough, wasn’t one bit proud
Stayed to himself, didn’t run with the crowd.
They called him a ‘boomer’, that man knew his stuff,
When it came to things like metal in the rough,
He could measure and figure like Pythagoras himself,
His calipers would fly when he took ’em off the shelf.
Well they sent him plans from Washington D.C.,
And he marked ’em up in red for them engineers to see,
That ya couldn’t build a crank, the way they’d figured out,
And when he sent ’em back, they just wanted to shout
At old Frank
So, they flew on up to Flint, to rattle his cage,
Read him the riot act and threaten his wage,
Frank was really patient as he tried to explain,
That a weld on them two parts was completely insane
You see, crank and counterweight were always cast together,
For the simple fact any torque they could weather,
We’re not talkin’ cars, these went into PT boats,
And those had to keep movin’, as well as stay afloat.
Frank told ’em what would happen, when them welds came down the line,
He’d hit ’em with his hammer and crack ’em every time,
But arrogance wouldn’t listen, over-ruled his sage advice,
And in the end a lot of sailors, paid the ultimate price.
Now you know the story, right from the horses mouth,
‘Bout how all them PT boats went south,
Things look good on paper, but truth will have its way,
When experience tells ya different, listen what its got to say.
Old Frank
I liked that very much, hillcountry. The ‘gleam in the eye’ is just right!
Yes, it was a great privilege and one I fully appreciated. He was amused by the little notebook I initially took to lessons:
‘Put it away and just watch!’ So I did just that.
I’m much more proud of learning such a craft and having taken it to a high level than all my degrees and the academic prizes I won, etc.
Such a great, ancient tradition. leading in an unbroken chain through the monasteries to ancient Rome. Participating in a tradition, handing it on, is a consolation for the brevity of life.
The area where we live had little wireless radiation until 2016, when 4G/LTE networks were installed on Samos and many new cell towers were built, from which time insects and birds began to decline noticeably. A tipping-point was reached in the summer of 2021, after the installation of a new 5G cell tower directly opposite the land. This cell tower is part of a new 5G network on Samos.
Since July 2021, when the 5G network on Samos went live, insects on our land have declined between 80-90% depending on species. All orders of insects are affected. The cause of these insect declines can only be RF radiation from the cell towers. No pesticides are used in this area and nothing else can account for the sudden, severe drop in the number of insects in this place since July 2021. Small mammals, especially rodents, are also declining rapidly. 5G frequencies appear to be the main cause of the most recent insect declines, which are happening all over the island.
The consequences of these declines will be far-reaching: this will affect wild plant diversity, agriculture and beekeeping. Worse, they may lead to crop failures and mass bee colony collapse respectively. Insect-eating birds will decline dramatically and may go extinct.
Frequency (i.e., wavelength) appears to be a more important factor than signal strength (power) in insect declines. Greece is using the 0.7 GHz, 3.5 GHz and 22.5 GHz bandwidths; the last of which is often classed as millimeter waves. Wherever 5G signals are present, insects have declined, whether these areas are near to or far from cell towers. Samos is rapidly losing most of its insects including its pollinators.
https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/5G-causes-massive-insect-declines-on-Samos.pdf
My husband says, “But 5G concentrations are going to be in cities. Isn’t that going to affect insect populations, by itself?”
‘Wifi Refugee’ by Shannon Rowan details a much wider spread of 4G/5G infrastructure than I had previously imagined. That’s not to mention the low-altitude satellites.
Samos is an interesting case, having only 31,300 residents as of 2021. The paper cited seems like a slam-dunk cause-effect timeline.
I do read contrary views on the overall insect situation such as

It’s a bit of bunk, how long have the military been operating much more powerful mmWave transmitters? (Radar)?
I reckon it’s all the Tryhards and MOARons that commute by carz and airplanes that splats a whole lotta insects. Most of them are probably drawn to those by the CO2 emissions.
I wonder how much mmWave the sun spews out compared with some pesky mobile tower or wifi hotspot?
Not a lot of course. The black body spectrum declines fast both in the IR and UV. The underlying idea, of course, is that micro waves excites metastable states of organic molecules. That is certainly true. What is more controversial, but possible, is that metastable states affect the bio-chemistry of biologically important molecules.
I’m not claiming that shoving a mmWave transmitter next to a beehive would do it any good, so is putting your head inside a microwave oven, however, let’s put everything in perspective.
What kills more insects do you reckon:
1. The usual road, or,
2. A 5G cell tower
There are about 400k cell towers (of which half is 5G) in the US. 3.9 million miles of roadway, of which 3 million miles are rural roads, and some 300M cars.
Now do the thinking for yourself of what is actually killing those insects.

I am often around in remote Alpine areas and I see an insect life like on an Indian bazar at prime! But – these areas are not only without any telephone connection but also free of Glyphosate…
As much as I understand, Glyphosate kills bacteria that higher organims need for survival.
Well, there no Hypers with their paraphernalia of projecting “success” and convenience near by, apart for some crank turning and oat churning rapacious primate that accidentally might swallow an insect while huffing and puffing up the gnarly ascends.
Yes it happens to everyone. Got myself the WEF protein supplement completely by accident a couple of weeks ago while turning the cranks, cookie hole open and all. 🍪 🕳️
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jul/13/missing-russian-general-with-links-to-wagner-boss-is-resting-says-official
A Russian general has said he has been fired as a commander after telling Moscow’s military leadership “the truth” about the dire situation at the front in Ukraine as tensions in the Russian army grow in the aftermath of the Wagner group’s short-lived mutiny.
Maj Gen Ivan Popov, who commanded the 58th Combined Arms army, which is fighting on the front in Ukraine near Zaporizhzhia, said in a voice message that he had been fired after he brought up problems on the battlefield, including the lack of counter-battery fire as well as deaths and injuries the army was suffering from Ukrainian attacks.
Without naming them, Popov appeared to attack the head of the army, Valery Gerasimov, and the defence minister, Sergei Shoigu, two of the country’s most powerful military men, accusing them of stabbing the country in the back.
“As many commanders of regiments and divisions said today, our army was not broken through the front, but our most senior commander hit us in the back, thus treacherously beheading the army in the most difficult period,” Popov said.
Popov added that he faced a choice with his superiors “to keep quiet and be a coward or to say it the way it is … Due to this, the seniors likely felt some danger in me and instantly, in one day, put together an order to the minister of defence and got rid of me.”
The open criticism of the military leadership by a senior Russian commander is rare and will dent the sense of unity that the Kremlin has been eager to project following the Wagner chief, Yevgeny Prigozhin’s abortive rebellion.
=========
My take: we’re into the stagnation and stalemate stage of the war now. Notice how any time a Russian general is killed, allegedly by the Ukrainians, the Russians fire off another tirade of missiles at one or more Ukrainian cities. So where are we now? “Going nowhere”, for the time being, I’d say.
There have been a lot of allegations on this site that this war is not being fought to actually win. It is being fought to keep the other side from winning using ancient technologies.
If you want to negotiate a contract, it is a good idea to think of a win-win-solution, if you dont want to use brutal force. If you need to get more players on the bus, this might lead to win-win-win- or win27-solutions. When you now look back on this construction and ask: Cui bono? there will be 27 wins, installed by a bunch of capable diplomats, – the wins do the bono! Usually analysis ends, when one, two bonos are mentioned. Armament industry can make money! Oh, really? Whom could Blackrock take on board?
A cold war does not consume much energy. They neednt sell arms, in which a lot of energy is stored like in tanks, if they make them light and intelligent like drones. A cold war allows both sides to implement any time travel- and consume-restrictions. When oil becomes too cheap, they can start a maneuver for mitigation. Sum it up and it reduces the demand of energy. On purpose? How can I know what someone hides?
I would say, it is very, very, very unlikely to think of a win27-solution and get by chance as sideeffect a reduction of energy demand! I would always expect, someone started here…

They say you are what you eat, and NP’s favourite food is chicken. So when the Boer war broke out, he volunteered to join the Royal Regiment of Cowards.
Wrong war. My understanding is that Norman was in the Sudan, and bravely fighting the Fuzzy Wuzzies.

No, she’s just baffled in general and was looking for an explanation. I didn’t offer her one. I chose peace.

This situation on Samos is likely a mine-canary signal, as is the 8x increase in thoroughbred horse deaths and seabird deaths as reported by Arthur Firstenberg at https://arthurfirstenberg.substack.com/
I’ve commented on this a couple of times in the past, saying that I hadn’t noticed any insect declines in my part of the Satoyama.
This year, I have to say that things have changed. There has been a noticeable dearth of insects in this valley, including mosquitoes and sand flies, which normally make it an ordeal to venture out at this time of year. This year, however, I’ve been out weeding and grass cutting and tree pruning for hours at a time in a short-sleeve t-shirt and getting very few visiting pests and even less bites.
There seem to be less bees and wasps around too. And I found two wasp nests under the roof of outbuildings that were started and then abandoned earlier this summer.
I’m not sure why. But I can report that in my personal experience there is an unmistakeable decline in flying insect numbers. I just hope there will be enough around to feed the birds.
i find the lack of insects scary too
i’ve hardly seen a butterfly this year, very few flies on window panes , no moths in the evenings
if you’ve seen the same problem where you are i think we can safely say its more than ‘fake news’
its the little critters that support us.
indeed… we lose the pollinators and we’re done
Swarms of flies have been seen around NP when his carer collects him from the Twilight home. But his senses are dimming now, and he neither sees nor hears them.
Not that you’d expect exotic butterflies in the grim post-industrial wastelands that NP inhabits. It gets a bit exotic when his carer takes him out, though. He gets stalked by hyenas, attracted by the stench, and flocks of vultures are seen to perch on nearby walls and fences, just waiting for him to drop. It’s just like one of those scenes from “The Birds”. Scary.

It’s very much the case in my area of Michigan. I’m out walking 6-10 miles a day and it’s rare to get a bite from anything. Drove up north recently and whereas in the past decades one would have a windshield full of large bug splats, now it’s very minimal.
thats usa, uk and japan
all showing the same thing
it will be interesting to get comments from elsewhere
i can recal when driving at night was like driving through a snowstorm
British Columbia.. I just went on a 1000km drive from the coast to the Cariboo region. This is the start of Summer, following a short spell of rain.
The windshield has exactly one splatted insect on it.
We spend at least one day of the week on a hike deeper into the forests. They are quiet, they are no longer rain forests, and they are not healthy.
I found this speech made to the UN by Rosalind Peterson of Agriculture Defense Coalition in the early 2000s.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/hQrpURxN9Xq1/
Peterson believed it was a big part of the problem. Today, GeoEngineeringWatch.org has picked up the gauntlet.
Here in northern rural Alabama We have no shortage of insects. Tons of wasps and bees. I have noticed the fireflies seem less this summer. Mowing the pasture shitloads of bugs.
I do believe there will be “reservoirs” of insects left until the great collapse…at least hopefully. Then they can repopulate the land maybe.
Almost zero fireflies here in New York. Used to be hundreds in the yard.
I seem to have seen considerably more butterflies here in southern England in the past years, due to the warmer temperatures. And they are of the more beautiful species too.
The other side of the coin is that I get more flies in the house when I open the windows.
You know those photos of starving kids in Africa… with flies all over their bodies…
It’s the same with Super Snatch … it’s the Fester .. that filthy diseased rat nest … that attracts them … she can’t even be bothered to brush them away
Chris Martenson remarked about the “winshield index” and how there are now a lot fewer bugs being crushed against his windshield when he drives through New England during the summer.
However, I sure don’t see any decline in the number of cockroaches. Interesting that they are unstable when walking on smooth floors. If they fall over on their backs, they can’t right themselves. They have long legs but their bodies have a deceptively low flat profile so they are more resistant to squashing than you think.So if I see a dead one, it’s been on its back. But if they are alive and upright, it will take me at least three stomps to get them because I usually walk barefoot in the house and unless I crush them squarely under the heel or on the ball of my foot, and not under the arch, I have to make repeated stomps to get them.
My daughter is terrified of them. I tell her if you see one crawling around you have to strike aggressively, ruthlessly and quickly before they disappear into the cracks.
And speaking of cockroaches, off to the range today for some practice with 20 gauge, 9, .223, 7.62 x39, and .308.
Rather the same here in Eastern England, despite so many tempting flowers in my garden, wild and cultivated, for the epicure bee of discerning taste.
I would say that last year I would see 5 bees at work where now I find only 1 or 2 at best, so no steady and industrious hum.
House flies just as numerous though. Bird population healthy, and looking plump.
Bee populations will recover — once The Problem … is exterminated

Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, points out all F16s can carry nuclear weapons. He say Russia will have to consider every F16 a threat to Russian strategic interests. NATO says it will send 100,000 troops to Poland if Poland is attacked.
I would say if those 2000 loads of F16s, cluster bombs and other goodies are being stored in Poland there is a good chance of Poland being missile attacked.

It’s a good think the Fed has decided to force energy prices lower… as we know high energy costs fuel inflation … which is still red hot
https://wolfstreet.com/2023/07/12/core-services-cpi-cools-to-still-red-hot-6-2-core-cpi-to-4-8-plunge-in-energy-prices-pulls-down-overall-cpi-to-3-0-food-prices-stabilize-at-very-high-levels/
The reason that the CPI increase is lower is because energy prices are lower. But oil prices can’t keep falling. (They are back up, a little now.) When the negative change of energy prices is stripped out, the inflation level is still high.
Another issue is health care costs. The costs had been estimated too high last year. They are re-evaluated every 12 months, and the adjustment fed in over a 12 month period. The new adjustment effective for October will likely be in an upward adjustment instead, because they follow a pattern of too low, too high, too low.
McCarthy wasn’t the only person Smug reported, not by a long shot.

Aha… the vaccines prevent long covid!!! They don’t prevent Covid — only Long Covid.
hahahahahahahahahaha (I almost sh it my pants laughing so hard)
“Post-Vac Syndrome,” which is basically Long Covid for the jabbed. While some vaccinees have surely sustained neurological damage, Post-Vac Syndrome is very suspicious for the way it supports the official safe-and-effective narrative. The reasoning seems to be this:
1) Covid is dangerous even to young and healthy people primarily because it entails substantial risk of Long Covid.
2) The vaccines mostly prevent Long Covid, though in a few rare cases they can cause an essentially identical Post-Vac Syndrome.
3) Because the young and the healthy risk Long Covid-like symptoms with or without the jabs, and the jabs prevent more Long Covid symptoms than they cause, even the young and healthy should be vaccinated.

Let’s summarize:
The thing is … when GVB first warned of the leaky virus >>> deadly mutation … I did some research .. and found that he was not pulling this out of his hat…
http://epidemics.psu.edu/articles/view/leaky-vaccines-promote-the-transmission-of-more-virulent-virus
https://www.healthline.com/health-news/leaky-vaccines-can-produce-stronger-versions-of-viruses-072715
https://www.futurity.org/viruses-leaky-vaccines-968692/
Or shall we go to the mother load — and search Google Scholar for many scientific articles on this topic… page after page discussing the risks of deploying leaky vaccines during pandemics…
https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=leaky+vaccines&btnG=
The flu vaccine it is given prior to the flu season — essentially they are making a guess re the strain of flu that is anticipated… they do not mass vaccinate during flu season because of the risks of causing mutations and we could end up with a never ending flu — notice how Covid never ends…. and there is the chance of an extremely deadly variant emerging…
None of what GVB is saying is speculation — none of this is original thought from him…
Leaky vaccines are not deployed during a pandemic for very good reasons. They do not want to risk generating a Marek’s level mutation that kill huge numbers of humans. Simple as that.
Yet what have we been doing — spending tens of billions on ad and pr campaigns to encourage 8 billion people to mass vaccinate during a respiratory disease pandemic — using a leaky vaccine.
This has been reinforced with a wide range of coercive measures to force the reluctant to inject the leaky vaccines – during a pandemic
Extreme fear has been used including murdering people with Remdesivir and Midazolam and claiming these deaths were caused by Covid — for the purpose of trying to convince 8 billion to inject or end up gasping for air on a ventilator…
They admit not testing for transmission — so they lied when they said get your shots you won’t get covid https://twitter.com/Lukewearechange/status/1463932846570192901 (the Vaxxers are the ones getting Covid over and over…)
Then they said it would prevent severe illness… we know that is a lie as it is the Vaxxers experiencing severe illness and death from Covid…
They said the vaxxes saved tens of millions of lives… another lie https://metatron.substack.com/p/the-covid-vaccines-saved-millions
Let’s be clear – they were not mistaken… they lied… and they continue to lie.
The goal has been to get as many humans to inject the Rat Juice during a pandemic…
What other reason can there be for wanting to do this … other than to cause endless mutations and ultimately a Marek’s type mutation that tears across the planet and smashes into nearly 6 billion Vaxxers who also have damaged immune systems?
They know exactly what they are doing — GVB’s mistake is continuing to believe they do not and that he can use scientific lingo to show them they have made a colossal blunder.
I assume he is holding onto that belief because to acknowledge that they have intentionally done this know the outcome — is to fall into profound despair.
It is to accept that every country on the planet is engaged in annihilation of the species… and that there is no way of stopping this.
>> I did some research .. and found that he was not pulling this out of his hat…
He is pulling it out of somewhere else.
Perhaps you can find research that indicates deploying leaky vaccines during a pandemic carries no risk?
Pulling it out of norm’s arse doesn’t count
Norm, there’s no research on it because it’s a stupid idea. Every leaky vaccine deployed, of which there are many, is proof that leaky-vaccines don’t carry some huge risk of a Marek’s-like pandemic.
How many copies of GVB’s claptrap have you purchased? You should seek a refund.
dunno who what GVB is
dont include me in your rantings
Let me help you with this … read the part about deploying leaky vaccines during pandemics.
They do not do that — that is why the flu vaccine is deployed before flu season.
The reason is that they don’t want to cause the virus to mutate… you know – like how covid is endlessly mutating and surges year round including during summer months.
Do you need me to explain this as if I was addressed a grade 3 class? Will that help you understand?
We only have to wait until early autumn for notorious GVB’s predictions to be vindicated or thrown on the manure pile. Ten more weeks, or twelve, tops.
If the latter, Belgium’s greatest virologist’s book will be in the “remaindered” books, right next to Hillary Clinton’s latest opus, and with a big 70% discount sticker on the cover, and he will have to go back to neutering cats and giving dogs their annual rabies shots.
But I’m sensing he will be proved at least partially right. A lot of people I know are complaining of colds that won’t go away, and it’s the middle of summer. And they are all serial jabbees.
>> We only have to wait until early autumn for notorious GVB’s predictions to be vindicated or thrown on the manure pile.
Huh?? It’s been almost 3 years since the vaccines were introduced. Did GVB originally say it takes several years? No way!
Why do you only look at his latest prediction that it’ll happen in a few months and ignore his prior 3 years of failed predictions?
I should remember to ** Never argue on the internet ***, but I can’t help myself.
How long did it take before Cassandra was right?
Can you explain why they are deploying a leaky vaccine during a pandemic?
And why Covid never stops?
“Can you explain why they are deploying a leaky vaccine during a pandemic?
And why Covid never stops?”
They aren’t and it wasn’t, as you answered hours before the asking Eddy.
“I don’t know anyone – or anyone who knows anyone – who died from Covid…
I know loads who have Vax Injuries”
As there was no pandemic(see above)and whatever people have been injected with, certainty wasn’t a vaccine and is highly likely the cause of all new ailments(see above), you can stop freaking out about that weirdo’s ravings.
You might also want to consider, that out of all the injections, that all different types of livestock receives, it took 50 odd years for a single worry, in a single type of bird, to be noticed.
Your not a chicken Eddy(please let the weirdo know, it might soothe his troubles), you have nothing to fear.
Your hyperfear looks strikingly similar to a programmed addiction. I’d advise massive doses of the real world and no more than an hour a day with the screen(no moving pictures allowed).
Now now norm… you can’t fool Fast by using a different handle.
If there was no pandemic why did you inject 7 shots of the vaccine that didn’t stop the pandemic?
We have quite a few norms on OFW these days — one dimensional types — without vision
I have a question too. Why don’t you look into his failed predictions and explain to the rest of us how they failed?
That is what true intellectuals who want to make points that make a favorable impression on other people do. That is what Huxley did to Wilberforce at the Oxford University Museum and Sagan did to Veilokovsky at Madison Square Garden. It was brutal and bloody, but what can I say but “Welcome to another edition of Thunderdome.”
Why are you giving me this homework, when you seem to think it’s important to set the record straight, whereas I don’t?
It irritated me that some people posted were posting predictions of doom by Guy McPherson and Peter Wadhams a few years ago. So, do you know what I did? I’ll tell ye! I’ll tell ye what I did!
I checked up on their past predictions of doom and listed them in the comments here for all to see who had eyes to see.
It was a slam dunk, to tell the truth. A home run. No contest. The records of both men at seeing into the future were and are, in a word, pathetic. As seers, they are a pair of Nostradumbasses.
But my setting the record straight didn’t cause them stop predicting and it still doesn’t stop their fanboys from occasionally posting their latest predictions, projections or prophecies as if they retained a shred of cred.
So I can see where you may be coming from. You may be as irritated by GVB’s predictions being posted as I was about the predictions of the above-mentioned doomporn merchants being posted.
However, I am not familiar with how much of a failure GVB has been as a prophet so far. I don’t recall him saying we were all going to be dead before Christmas, or that we were going to have so many millions dead by any particular date. All I am familiar with is that he has warned constantly that it is a terrible idea to mass vaccinate people during a pandemic and that he fears this will lead to a catastrophe of some kind.
I haven’t noticed that he’s been proven wrong about this by subsequent events. He may well have been. But you are the one making the claim, so according to Marquis of Queensbury rules, you are the one who has to bear the burden of proof in documenting the validity of the claim. In short, the onus is on you.
All GVB has done is re-state the science — and the science says One Shall Not Deploy Leaky Vaccines During a Pandemic Because That Shall Cause Mutations and Risks Creating a Deadly Mutation.
e.g. Marek’s.
The thing is …
The naysayers might support their position by finding info that indicates we do deploy leaky vaccines during pandemics and support that with research that indicates this does not cause viruses to mutate.
Perhaps they could show us that this is wrong:
Antigenic escape, immune escape, immune evasion or escape mutation occurs when the immune system of a host, especially of a human being, is unable to respond to an infectious agent: the host’s immune system is no longer able to recognize and eliminate a pathogen, such as a virus. This process can occur in a number of different ways of both a genetic and an environmental nature.[1] Such mechanisms include homologous recombination, and manipulation and resistance of the host’s immune responses.[2]
Different antigens are able to escape through a variety of mechanisms. For example, the African trypanosome parasites are able to clear the host’s antibodies, as well as resist lysis and inhibit parts of the innate immune response.[3] A bacteria, Bordetella pertussis, is able to escape the immune response by inhibiting neutrophils and macrophages from invading the infection site early on.[4] One cause of antigenic escape is that a pathogen’s epitopes (the binding sites for immune cells) become too similar to a person’s naturally occurring MHC-1 epitopes, resulting in the immune system becoming unable to distinguish the infection from self-cells.
Antigenic escape is not only crucial for the host’s natural immune response, but also for the resistance against vaccinations. The problem of antigenic escape has greatly deterred the process of creating new vaccines. Because vaccines generally cover a small ratio of strains of one virus, the recombination of antigenic DNA that lead to diverse pathogens allows these invaders to resist even newly developed vaccinations.[5]
Some antigens may even target pathways different from those the vaccine had originally intended to target.[4] Recent research on many vaccines, including the malaria vaccine, has focused on how to anticipate this diversity and create vaccinations that can cover a broader spectrum of antigenic variation.[5] On 12 May 2021, scientists reported to The United States Congress of the continuing threat of COVID-19 variants and COVID-19 escape mutations, such as the E484K virus mutation.[6]

Self-organizing systems behave strangely.
Maybe the overall plan (of God, or the self-organizing system) is to reduce population in line with what energy supply can support. The oligarchs will fall, just as others do.
The self organizing system also regularly extincts species….
Indeed it does
https://tinyurl.com/mwavbyf9
I doubt it is an annihilation of the species. The deagles list indicate that and some facts known about the official ingredients of the shots.
The problem is that we dont know at all what was in the shots. We can see some statistical data going up and some we have anecdotical proofs. A Binary Poison is thinkable.
If we bring it to the point: We dont know what was in the vaxx, we know it was probably not what had been claimed (the colour problem). In fact it might have been anything.
What we really have as hardfacts is, that institutions, governments and producers have lied and have not done their work. Governments have restricted human rights with no justification.
So what we really have as hard facts is a break down of the national states and its institutions. Call it an infiltration, corruption, whatever, but the state was neither able to protect citizens according to guaranteed rights, nor prosecute any violators. That’s what the state is for!
Nobody is discussing the consequences, but they will show effect sooner or later.
Consider what happens if Deagle is correct… think about what wiping out all but 500M means for the supply chains and the food supply.
Ya really think that a pile of f789ing stones in the middle of nowhere are a clue to what they are up to. Wow. People will believe anything (except the truth of course)
An excellent concise summary of the unquestionable hard facts of the matter, Jan.
To which I would only add that those same states are now openly planning, in the WHO treaty and IHR amendments, to do the same again, and worse – the permanent de iure abolition of the duty to respect human rights.
So here we are: our governments are, now, our proven enemies.
And we are absolved, therefore, of all duty of loyalty and obedience.

“The Wagner mercenary group is completing its handover of weapons to Russia’s regular armed forces, the Defense Ministry said on Wednesday, more than two weeks after the group STAGED A BRIEF armed mutiny.”

“Russian foreign intelligence chief Sergei Naryshkin said on Wednesday that he and CIA counterpart William Burns had discussed “what to do with Ukraine” in a phone call late last month, Russia’s TASS news agency said.”
https://english.alarabiya.net/News/world/2023/07/12/Russian-foreign-intelligence-chief-held-phone-call-with-CIA-head-to-discuss-Ukraine
Also the ‘Jerusalem Post’ talks about that: https://www.jpost.com/international/article-749808
How about east of the river to Poland and west of the river to Russia?
Here comes the latest statement of WHO (https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/new-covid-19-variants-giving-xbb116-or-arcturus-a-run-for-its-money/ar-AA1dA6wJ):
“The observed heterogeneity in variant circulation dynamics, as well as the lower rate of morbidity and mortality, can partly be attributed to population immunity resulting from vaccination and prior SARS-CoV-2 infections”.
Finally, they talk about ‘population immunity’ instead of ‘herd immunity’! For those who are feeling confused, population immunity refers to the suboptimal immune pressure highly C-19 vaccinated populations are now collectively placing on the vaccine-induced mechanism preventing viral virulence (and, therefore, severe C-19 disease).
In other words, population immunity does not eliminate the infectivity of the virus like herd immunity does; instead, it puts selective immune pressure on the virus. Selective population-level immune pressure on viral neutralizability triggered the emergence of highly infectious Omicron descendants whereas current immune selection pressure on viral virulence will trigger the emergence of highly virulent Omicron lineages (“HI-VI-CRON”)!
This situation is beyond concerning because the WHO lacks an understanding of the immunological dynamics triggered by its mass vaccination program and therefore recommends new vaccines that – no doubt – will prove totally ineffective.
It will only take the emergence of a new variant with the ability to evade the virulence-inhibiting mechanism currently protecting C-19 vaccinees for people to realize the incredible level of incompetence of this ‘institution’.

We are all basically assuming that the UKR conflict will not ‘progress’ into an All Out War between Russia and NATO members that is waged across Europe, and that will draw in China and USA in Europe and the Pacific (and others), basically another world war….
but it would not exactly be the first time that Europe has done that sort of thing to itself and the world.
My money is on Russia and China if that happens. China may even do what USA did in WWI/ II and sit back until both sides are exhausted and then roll in and take over. It is sitting back now.
Hopefully it will all stay non-nuclear or there really is not point.
> Putin’s Aide Warns ‘World War III Getting Closer’ As NATO Nation Arms Kyiv With SCALP Missiles
Russia’s former President Dmitry Medvedev has warned the NATO nations of ‘World War III’ if they continue to arm Ukraine with military weapons. This comes after NATO denied Ukraine NATO membership but promised continued arms support. Watch this video to know more.
It is pretty clear that the West cannot win, following its current path. It can anger Russia, and it can use up old weapons, that is about all.
Mirror is right. The final winner may not be Russia or the US. It could be China, or a different group of Allies probably including China.
Let us hope the effort does not lead to WWIII.
Then again, this could be another stage in an incredibly intricate and deliciously cunning clandestine (and did I mention “sinister”?) plan by the devious and inscrutable (insert name of preferred villain here) to deceive, dethrone, demoralize, destabilize, devastate and destroy all the major powers, rule the world, and laugh maniacally.
I have not ruled out space aliens.
that would answer a lot of questions about OFW inmates ed

And then … silence… forever… adios human species… thanks for releasing all the carbon!!!
I’m not so sure.. yes there is never a winner but the U.s has been able to fight a war without losing any men . That’s valuable intelligence of how your equipment and enemies work. China …. Blah … blah blah they are a paper tiger with lots of problems housing!!! Real estate!!
I don’t know Sam. Look back on everything the west has done.
We’ve shown ourselves as liars and thieves.
We’ve shown our military hardware as inferior.
We’ve shown that we struggle to produce without the very people we demonise.
We’ve shown again that we’ll do anything to get others killed, no matter which side.
We’ve destroyed much of our own economies in the process.
The rest of the world has taken note.
The only thing we have learnt, is that we are inferior in every military sense.
This bloke explains it very well and is very amusing(also very sweary)

Horrific UKR manpower and heavy equipment losses in the first month of the ‘counteroffensive’ and for no gains.
Russia must be like, ‘whatever you want to do!’
If Russia responds in kind to USA cluster bombs, then the toll is liable to rise.
> Big Win For Russia; ‘Ukraine Loses 26,000 Fighters, 3,000 Arms In Counteroffensive’ Despite NATO Aid
Russia’s Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu has revealed Ukraine’s massive losses in counterattacks. According To Sergei Shoigu, Kyiv lost over 26,000 fighters and 3,000 pieces of armour in its counteroffensive. The Ukrainian army started its much-hyped counterattacks against Russia on June 4. But unlike the expectations of the West, the offensive failed to show any results. Watch this report for detailed data on Ukraine’s losses.
I like the phrase “so-called counter-offensive.” US admits the results are “disappointing.”
Norman Paggett, judging from a response of yours a day or so ago, you might not have read this link with an attached, scholarly article. I trust you’ll be able to find it, since I don’t claim to be adept at research. I’m simply sharing the information, so folks can take it or leave it. I think that is still allowed.
https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/jul/05/industrial-revolution-iron-method-taken-from-jamaica-briton?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other&fbclid=IwAR0MBAtD_9nDJE0r8O4rvwvk3oNsU0G8fWqcEvKELBAfHD-793lZE6mAcME
thank you very much for that Artleads—I hadn’t seen the piece in the Guardian. I’m involved in some research at the moment in the origins of iron production and use.
The problem I have with ”using scrap iron” (and I would be happy to be corrected on this) is that it is necessary to have ”iron” lying around, in order to have ”scrap iron”
ie—iron has to have been smelted somewhere previously.
I may be wrong, but I dont think Jamaica has the necessary resources to produce iron from scratch—other than the trees to charcoal method.
Slaves taken from Africa, would very likely like have brought iron making technology with them, but that would I think have relied on using charcoal as a heat source—which had been around for 3000 years or so.
The Hittites used it around 1500bce—maybe earlier.
The “industrial Revolution” wasn’t brought about by the use of iron per se—it was kicked off when iron was produced cheaply in vast quantities using coke.
I know Cort’s process—called ”puddling”–he could well have pinched that fro elsewhere. It did vastly improve the structure of iron at that time. Puddling removed impurities and made better weapons. But it wasn’t the origin of the Industrial revolution. And it was superseded by other iron and steel production processes.
I think its a bit of a stretch to link it to talk of reparations.
You’re welcome. I don’t talk about reparations myself (although that gets me rather isolated). The British shipped iron products to Jamaica–thus, maybe, the iron “scraps.”–but I have very little knowledge about iron in the 18th century. (I have experience with British mid nineteenth century shipped from Britain. I think you’re in a good position to talk with the authors involved and let us know what comes of it.
the reparations thing is i think insolulble
the Berlin confereence of 1885 simply divided Africa up between European states, to avoid fighting over it…
Britain took the biggest slice but all the others had a hand it it–then Spain messed up the Americas, leaving basket case ex colonies.
Africans were entirely responsible for selling their own people to the slave shippers.
No white man would have dared go into the hinterland to capture slaves. Why does no one mention that?
Why is it never mentioned that African slave traders raided the coasts on England an Ireland to take slaves well before we started doing it.
Slavery was a thing of its time—Might as well seek damages from the Romans!–or the vikings for that matter
What did the Romans ever do for us?
I doubt if the authors of that article would take any notice me me anyway.
When you say Africans invaded British shores, which Africans do you mean? The Arabs did a lot of enslaving of black Africans. (Quite cruel too). But I’m not here to point fingers at the rotten human condition. I instead use my optimism to at least try to deal better with it during a critical moment. To each his own.
the ones who took english slave were North Africans, Barbary Coast peoples
But it was africans who mainly caught and sold other africans–we just provided the ships mainly
Right now, Nigerians are looting their own country to get rich from oil—leaving most people there still in poverty
its the same motivation i think
“we just provided the ships mainly”
And the market. Don’t forget that Norman. As you might say, you can have all the slaves in the world, but without someone to sell them to, they are worthless.
You might want to expand our role somewhat.
agreed—the market for sugar and cotton
but the trade was to a certain extent triangular
iron goods—guns etc–were shipped from here to africa—just as oil is shipped out now, and returned as cars etc, the trading system is very similar
and our looting of africa is what is now responsible for mass migration from there to europe
It’s known that NP keeps a workforce of pygmies in a large Tupperware box at home. Modern slavery, you see.

well done

keep at it—you’ll get there if you stick with it long enough

norm … you are garbled… try again
NP, Everybody in the West throws African culpability around. The term Africans has become a euphemism for black, sub Saharan Africans. Is that because the West sits on such a firm foundation of black African slavery? You conveniently neglected to distinguish North Africans who DID (by your account) invade the British coast and take Britishers as slaves. And you pay no price for alluding to African slavery as an entirely black phenomenon.

The valve gear of the steam machine was invented by a working boy that wanted to go and play with his friends. The UK seems to have a tradition in this!
Also prove that the self-proclaimed elite is none. God distributes intelligence over rich and poor, old and young.
there is very little innovation that does not rest on the shoulders of someone else.
Iron smelting has been around for 000s of years
but the industrial revolution was kicked off by the sudden availability of cheap iron—nothing else
that was the single factor that changed literally everything.
I have heard that many innovations in the energy industry require gradual scale up, typically going through four different levels.
First, there is the first scale model in the lab. Then the new approach is ramped up in progressively larger installations, to figure out what new problems need to be addressed and to try to get implementation costs down. All of this typically takes 10 years or more.
edison had his ‘lightbulb’ moment
but without glassmakers, precision metalworks, wiring producers etc—it would mean nothing
Good points!
Well put.
It was inevitable that any innovations at that time would come from the lower class, which was huge and would obviously contain some very bright people with curiosity and drive.
The aristocracy and upper middle class were mostly intent on either living off their estates and investments – agriculture and mineral exploitation in the case of the aristos – or getting a nice little official or socially respectable commercial position such as lawyer, merchant, or govt. official/politician, and, of course, the ultimate parasitic occupation, functionary in the official Church.
Doctors were not socially respectable – not until the 20th c on the whole – nor were engineers: nowhere near the prestige they came to enjoy last century, when they were deemed to be, with social scientists, among the builders of a progressive Utopia.
Ironically, we can now view – in the light of the last three years – many medical professionals as being of dubious integrity,acting as unscrupulous and avaricious parasites and potentially a great danger to one’s health.
Why Syndicates Trend to the Extreme Over Time

In a different direction, our family group in Minnesota is getting so large that we discovered that we quickly overwhelm the staff of restaurants in the area. We went out to eat last night, and the woman in charge of the Perkins restaurant that we went to came and told us that we would could not all eat at the same time, because it would overwhelm the kitchen staff (which were few in number). There were lots of extra tables, but the kitchen staffing level was far below what was needed to provide food service for the number of people who came.
This evening, we will have between 25 and 30 people, so our leader suggested that this evening, we have a choice between pizza and Subway take outs, instead of going to a sitdown restaurant. Another question is where we eat these things together.
The concentration goes to the cheap food that can be prepared in advance for any number of people, with varying food requirements.
Not a family outing, Gail: more of a tribal invasion…….
We are moving to a different location tomorrow, midday, that is set up to accommodate large groups. There will be more coming for the weekend. It was set up for church groups, but they also take family groups.
Did blacks learn how to melt iron in Africa to make their spear points on their own? (I have an adult metal spear and a youth spear from when I was in Tanzania and Southern Africa, but know nothing about the source, whether this ability came from European colonizers and was copied or what.)
My understanding, based my very little knowledge , though is that Sub Saharan Africa was a genetic backwater of stagnation of widespread hominid speciation. The fossil records we have suggest there were many branches off the genus Homo, all of which went extinct except for Homo sapiens. But the blacks in Africa it is theorized would have remained stagnated for hundreds of thousands of years in absence of any new selection pressures. It was the migration out of Africa, maybe to the Middle East and from there to Europe which was the spark that resulted in “ higher intelligence” in Caucasians.
As far as I am aware, the sub Saharan blacks had not even invented the wheel and ox cart when the European settlers arrived to colonize. Even the Northeastern Asians, who have reportedly higher average IQs than Caucasians, had only invented gun powder and paper, although their astrological prowess deserves some further investigation. This may have paled compared to the Middle East, which was the launching point for the Caucasian race, which may have combined with some H. neanderthalis to form some hybrid vigor with H sapiens as far as intelligence. I think Europeans still carry 3% Neanderthal DNA. Sub Saharan blacks have zero. Afro Americans on average I have read somewhere, on average have 13% Caucasian genetic admixture which may have raised their IQs from pure Sub Saharans.
But then again, there were no environmental pressures for sub Saharan blacks to have to evolve higher intellect/ inventiveness/ technology such as farming or advanced tool making. Those capabilities must not have offered a reproductive advantage for the hunter-gatherer existence in sub Saharan Africa.
But this niche skill to recycle and purify iron may be analogous to the Asians’ ability to utilize technologies that have been invented by Caucasians of European decent. These abilities may involve two different kinds of intelligence : that of inventiveness vs that of learning to utilize and improve upon existing technology.
They talk of the Age of Iron in West Africa from the 6th century on.

“learn how to melt iron in Africa”
Nobody really knows. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_metallurgy_in_Africa

In the process of researching for this paper I found why

Keith
the picture on that wiki entry clearly shows the animal skin bellows and the mud and straw furnace
with that setup its possible to produce small scale iron goods, but nothing very complex at all
Well done: “ higher intelligence”
Hubbs
the Hittites in the middle east were said to be the first peoples to smelt and process iron in a purposeful way.
but how and where the idea came from originally is impossible to say
its possible to build a simple furnace out of mud and straw, but then you have ti get the charcoal, the right mix of ore, bellows and so on
how did they figure all that out–just in incremental stages i guess.
I assume they experimented and innovated because bronze just wasn’t cutting it.
Then they forged an empire and made the vassals say Heil Hittites!”
Archeological evidence suggests that iron smelting predates the Hittites by several centuries in ancient Anatolia, beginning around 2000 BC.
Not a lot of people know the following, but now you can join them, and impress strangers at cocktail parties or win points on University Challenge!
The name Anatolia comes from the ancient Greek word “Anatole,” which means “sunrise” or “east.” The Greeks used this term to refer to the region that is now modern-day Turkey because it lies to the east of Greece.
Iron smelting is considered to have been invented or developed “independently” in several parts of the Middle East, but one can imagine camel-riding blacksmiths spreading the technology from place to place, and then in India around 1800 BC and in China around 700 BC. In parts of western, eastern and Southern Africa, iron was being smelted as early as 2000 BC—so much for Africans not being able to invent anything—while ironically, it didn’t reach Britain until around 800 BC.
”iron use” goes back 6000 years
but using/smelting it in a predetermined manner is too vague to pinpoint exactly.
the ”iron age” kicked in around 2000/1500 bce
but archeaologists will argue about that forever—the important factor is scale—you cant mass produce railways lines and steam engines in a blacksmiths forge
Artleads
out of interest I followed up that jamaican iron thing, and found this article on it
https://doi.org/10.1080/07341512.2023.2220991
Vast amount of stuff i ididn’t know–learned a lot from that,
But it was basically a conversion process carried out by slaves who had been ironwokers in African, and it all depended on the wood to charcoal heating process tp convert rubbish iron into top quality stuff by remixing it correctly
Good that you’re following up.
A 100 million dollar German munitions factory is being built in western part of Ukraine. They use the energy from Russian natural gas to power the building of the means of murder to kill Russians. How long will it take Russia to realize meeting contracts is null and void when the other party is killing you and building to kill you even more.
Maybe Russia is trying to keep this to a slow simmer hoping Trump wins 2024 and the war ends.
Can Russia win a war of economic attrition? Can the west keep pumping in weapons? Can Ukraine find bodies to person the weapons? When do the last 10 million men in Ukraine realize they need to leave? When will Russia help build an underground railway to help the poor guy flee? They are slaves. This is a slave war as they all are but this one have 100% kill rate for the slaves.
How about a treaty Poland and Russia. Poland gets a big chunk of western Ukraine and pledges support for Russia?
Russia could turn off the natural gas and bomb the other pipelines into EU. Cut the communications lines into EU. Give boats to Africa to speed influx of Africans into EU. Buy them airline tickets into EU and cash and a smartphone. When will Russia take this war seriously?!
Let them build, but blow it up – with all the trained workers – before it really comes on line? That would be rather elegant.
My wife said the same thing.
Mrs Bärbock will prevent the blow up with some bacon of hope!
@Vilnius
Selensky did not get any Nato-membership.
USA seems to prefer a Korea-like permanent war situation, that does not lead to a WW3.
Video depicting Selensky as UK agent does not get deleted on YT.
The demolition of Selensky and his desire to start a hot WW3 is also an exposing and compromizing of Macron and Leyen, while Scholz acted on the site of the US.
It seems to me, that the US tries to scapegoat criticism to insufficient European political management – which will for sure lead to a rise of the right winged parties and wash the conservatives and socialists away for some years. Perhaps that is a move in preparation of US elections?
Rumours want to know, that Leyen will become the next NATO secretary in succession to Stoltenberg! Does this job grant total diplomatic immunity so allegations of corruption cannot be persecuted? Whatever, it will weaken NATO. Europe does not seem so important anymore…
The lack of a path to membership is not a big surprise. It would have gotten Russia very angry, for one thing.
Today is another day of the NATO meeting. We should be watching for what the results are also.
By the way, I will be flying to Minnesota later today for a visit with cousins and siblings. I will be coming back on Sunday. So, for a few days, comment approval may be a little disrupted. Hopefully, internet connections will work OK.
I think we are both of an age where flying is something of a miracle. The clouds are beautiful from above. Enjoy.

Anyone deal with ongoing symptoms months after vaccine?
i’m not trying to scare anyone or make anyone nervous or tell people to not get vaccinated cause i am still 100% for vaccines and this vaccine since everyone around me but me has been perfectly fine, but it’s been four months since i got my second covid vaccine (moderna) and i have been at the doctors at least 15 times since then! my body is literally falling apart. i’ve gone back and forth from headaches, body aches, somewhat chest pain(which i thought was cause it my acid reflux) but i feel like i’m going back and forth on my body hurting. i’ve been to the doctor. they did a CT scan and it showed normal. i’m so lost at this point. they did blood work and it’s fine. now i feel like my body is going to collapse. i don’t know what more to do. i reported it to the CDC and that VAERS or whatever it’s called. i’m at the point where i’m ready to give up. it’s affected my job and college. i feel like i can’t get the energy to do much and it hurts.
i’ve had a few rapid covid tests done and they were negative so i don’t know what to do 🥺😢 any suggestions will help!!! i’m tempted to go back to the hospital cause it’s getting worse 😪 i just don’t know what more to do.

Interestingly, they haven’t been sick with endless ‘colds’ or ‘Covid’ and this is all coming out of the blue.

Both statements are false.

Does anyone think that that the cockroaches should make critical decisions for a nation?
Before you answer — consider that 6 billion cockroaches injected an untested ‘vaccine’… and when many of them got sick they believed ‘that’s a sign of the vaccine working’
The Men Who Run the World want us to believe we have democracy … even though it is obvious we don’t (I see Trump is again promising to Drain the Swamp… ) because this allows them to pull levers and push buttons from behind the curtain … with impunity… if something goes wrong the mob does not pitch fork them….
The mob pitchforks nobody (remember the WMD war crimes thing?) … instead they vote for the New and Improved Party — they’ll fix it! Hope and Change… Drain the Swamp … of course it’s just more of the same … but it serves a purpose — the steam blows off… then it’s back to business… more of the same
Folks don’t like the fact that the USA USA USA goes to war again and again … imagine if the mob voted on this — the KOOMbaya Party would win… China and Russia would rejoice.. then proceed to divvy up the empire and siphon off all the resources…
And before you know it … America and it’s mates … morph into Somalia…. or Libya… or Afghanistan…
The KOOMbaya party is delusional and it’s members dance around bonfires singing … one of their faves is ‘Imagine’…
Imagine picking through a dumpster for next meal….
Fortunately the Men Who Run the Show … will not allow this to happen … and they are willing to make the hard decisions e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bntsfiAXMEE that are required so that we get to Live Large.
We do love our vacations … and AC…and shiny cars and boats… and heating … and 500 flavours of patata chips!
This is ‘non-negotiable’ Try telling the mob that they have to share … that they need to take a 50% cut in their standard of living…
We are bipolar – we insist on having it all … but we say we want to share… we don’t … and that wouldn’t work anyone – give a inch and all that…. and you are considered weak…
They don’t seem to understand that failure to make tough decisions >>>> much more than a 50% drop… if one reads history one will discover an endless list of powerful cities and nations that collapsed… because they were overrun by more powerful entities…
They made a hard decision offing JFK… as The Economic Hit Man suggests… they will only use violence when all other forms of coercion fail. Clearly JKF pissed them off… they make the decisions … not him. Maybe it was the Vietnam War… or Cuba … or Operation Northwoods… I reckon ON was the final straw — you are vetoing the Chiefs of Staff??? WTF are you thinking … he spit in their faces.
Feel free to disagree with them … but end of the day they will have through long and hard about policy and they are in a better position to make the decisions than any of us .. than any of the cockroaches… (and if they f789 up so what – just call an election!!!)
We like to complain about the state of affairs… but what is the alternative… and so far it’s worked out pretty darn good for us … even the poor live far better than a Libyan …
Some seminal moments that lead me away from supporting the KOOMbaya Party (I was delusional once upon a time)
1. My older brother – when I moaned about the plight of the natives in Canada said – they lost – too bad — they are lucky they were not exterminated cuz that’s what used to happen … (he skipped two grades and is a big out of the box thinker…) — they’d do the same to us if they could. The wheels started to grind…
2. Was reading a book about the history of slavery in the US… at one point do-gooders purchased slaves from the masters and sent them back to Africa – Liberia. Guess what the slaves did upon return? Enslaved the locals…. haha
3. We all know about what the most persecuted folks did when given a Homeland … they returned the favour and continue to do so — to the Palestinians
4. A book about the history of China — after the Opium Wars — a prominent voice stated that feeling sorry for ourselves will achieve nothing — we were weak – they were strong — if not them someone else… we need to become strong….
5. A book about the collapse of the Ottomans… at the end of WW1 the remaining powers were circling the carcass of the empire — fighting to get the most choice morsels.
6. A trip to Kenya — we sit watching an antelope who had just given birth … circled by multiple predators…. as the mother chased off one set of killers… the others would come in behind … trying to snatch the baby… that was a losing battle and we watched as she mourned the death of her offspring…
Photo of the incident – the baby is on the right lower corner https://i.postimg.cc/y8J9HY1m/kenya.png
With respect to Covid and the injection of the Toxic Rat Juice… why would the Men Who Run the World do such a thing — it’s akin to burning down your farm…. what do they know … what do they fear so much that it would convince them they need to call in a massive artillery bombardment on their own position?
Assume they have decided – after much sober thought — that this is necessary
I can believe they tried to kill 50% but they failed. They only killed 0.1% Time to bring in the backup team.
Not at all, Eddy, failed civilisations imploded by themselves! Their models did not meet reality! Being eaten is just a phase. The antilope still gives birth while the lion is under pressure.
An interesting point that Diamond and Turchin do not mention is what happens to the citizens of failing societies? We know from current research that the knowledge about Middle East agrarian technologies came with people and their genetic threads. Obviously they married into the old families.
American and Canadian Natives, Inuit, Aborigines and some European groups, but not for example the Mayas/Incas, are the heirs of the Hunter Gatherers and thus enemies to the obedient, servile and submissive farmers. I don’t know if they have managed to preserve their excellence, but we might need their genetic benefits.
Be aware that between HG and the order established by the Middle Ages, which is not so long, lie a few thousand years of another kind of farmers that are underestimated today, that lived in groups of 100 and on 30-40 hectares land that they gave back to the forests every 30 years. They did not form larger states or nations, those came with trade and metals.
Lot’s of solutions and possibilities, Eddy, that some people might win the next move does not mean they can eat up all!
Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically. The cataclysm has happened, we are among the ruins, we start to build up new little habitats, to have new little hopes. It is rather hard work: there is now no smooth road into the future: but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles.
We’ve got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.”
― D.H. Lawrence
hard to live when the skies are releasing cancerous toxins that get into the water and soil and air… and remain highly dangerous… for decades… centuries even…
Not only did we use our ‘hyper intelligence’ to march up the ladder by farming … we kicked out the rungs below with nuclear energy — ensuring extinction.
This time is different.

keep an open mind Eddy
I once wrote a small apologue very much in the same vein.
DIALOGUE BETWEEN MACHIAVELLI AND A DELEGATION OF LAMBS
It is said that once upon a time a delegation of lambs, fed up with the slights, humiliations and insults from the wolves, gathered some pennies and asked Niccolò Machiavelli for a technical opinion.
– Sir, they asked, you say that the freedom of the lambs does not exist, since there’s the wolves. But we were thinking about this: if we managed to drive the wolves out of the city, could not freedom flourish among the lambs?
– Innocent creatures, replied Machiavelli, how could you ever guarantee the expulsion of all wolves? Impossible. First of all, because no one can say where the wolf begins and the lamb ends; moreover, no matter how many expulsions you decree (with what force, is another story), the presence of a single wolf would be enough to rob you of your freedom again.
– But notice, sir, that the freedom of the strongest means the empire of the few over the many. And if freedom is better than servitude, as philosophers say, the ideal would be to make it as extensive as possible.
– It would be ideal, as you say. But ideal, by definition, is that which does not exist, never existed nor, probably, will exist. If you expel the strongest, the least weak among the weakest would still be the strongest, and wolfishly would rise up to return you to the herd of dependence.
– What gives you, sir, such certainty?
— The examples of history, and the nature of wolves and lambs.
– We, however, want to believe that history is not something given, but constructed, sir. And if you yourself say that it is impossible to predict where in us the wolf begins and the lamb ends, that means that our nature is not determined, and if it’s not determined that means it can change.
– None of that. History is determined by natural selfishness and inequality. There are no strong wolves without weak lambs, I grant, but a strong lamb is already a wolf, just as a weak wolf is but a lamb.
– Do you mean that only by force can we, sir, conquer the right to be weak? That if we don’t want to be wolves, we must at least wear their skins?
– No. It’s worse than that, little lambs. It means that only as wolves could you be free, and that the expression “conquer the right to be weak” is a contradiction, designates an impossibility.
– Is there not, therefore, freedom in weakness?
– No, it doesn’t. As sheep, you are condemned to servitude.
– What do you advise us then, Sir, under these circumstances?
– Four hundred push-ups a day.

Encantado, JMS. Encantado!
And you know I think the crafty old Italian would have relished it, too.
You’re too kind, Xabier. Saludos!
I thought FE would like to know the following about cognitive decline:
My dad took the jab 4 times – one original plus 3 boosters. His chess rating has improved now to above 2000 ELO. I guess the vaccine makes you smarter. He is almost 70.
We don’t know, if your dad took any jabs, that is the problem. We don’t know, the authorities don’t know (there have been processes already), Pfizer might know but not say. State of justice 2023. Complete breakdown of state authority, science, law.
The Danish study can be interpreted in many ways. Dont forget, that still five University professors of Chemistry claim in front of court, that the serum must have another colour if it contained the declared ingredients. There is no way to change the color. If they are right, which is very likely, the consequence we must draw is, that the jabs did not contain what was declared.
Congrats to 2000 ELO!
State of justice 2023. Complete breakdown of state authority, science, law.
Yes, exactly.
Truth be told, I haven’t noticed any unexpected decline in my 4x jabbed parents, presently in their eighties. But from this I only conclude that in the vaccine lottery they luckily came out with the winning numbers, ie, the saline ones. Besides, none of my vaxxed family and friends have had worse adverse reactions than an odd propensity for “colds” and “flu”.
I wonder if my country has been selected, in view of the obedience of its Barrosos and Guterres and the sheepish character of its people, as one of those that will have the useful mission of generating the new breed of serfs that a techno-feudal civilization needs!! It would be awesome, and in favor of this happy argument, I can even present Deagel’s forecast, according to which we will only lose 15% of the population. Whoopee!!
The purpose of the vaccines is not to injury… that’s just a bonus if it happens to create more D-Moralization
The purpose is 1. to f789 up the immune system and 2. to generate mutations leading to a lethal mutation.
Don’t be fooled just cuz people aren’t dead
I have yet to find reasons to believe in viral mutations, but I firmly believe that immune systems crippled by injections of toxic products can hardly have a long and prosperous future. In any case, what other species besides jellyfish and bacteria can look forward to a long and prosperous future?
See https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/tthis-chicken-vaccine-makes-virus-dangerous
Yea yea, Marek & the leaky vaccine theory, I know it very well, in fact i believe I was the first to present that link here in 2021. Now I see it as just more promotional rubbish for the pseudo-science called virology. But if you prefer to believe, against all known logic and biology, that dead matter can mutate and evolve, i’m OK with that.
This is a very useful presentation https://drkevinstillwagon.substack.com/p/why-viral-infections-are-necessary
I watched the first eight minutes and heard too many times the word “infection” associated with the word “virus”, besides a notion of “contagion”. Worse than that, I haven’t heard the word inflammation. So I’m already losing interest. I’ll see the rest tomorrow maybe.
Is this then, perhaps, JMS, the most hopeful thing to happen in Portugal in centuries?
I regard the Deagel ‘forecasts’ as just another misleading psy-op and in a way a means of taunting us. The wildly varying % make no sense at all.
But I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you all the same.
Undoubtedly the most hopeful since the find of gold in Brazil! Too bad it’s just a delusion of mine, Xabier.
Like you, I don’t know what to make of Deagel’s forecasts. What i know for sure is that we the people are continually being played, immersed in propaganda 24/7/365. Which of course turns the task of interpreting current affairs into a kind of puzzle within a charade within an enigma within a smoke chest the wind has blown away.
Ah, how hard and foggy is the life of an honest inquirer in a dying world!
I reckon this is mostly correct… Unvaxxed who have had Covid will get sick when the Bossche Mutation emerges… but won’t die from that (otherwise why inject… just ensure everyone gets covid)…
But sick survivors — locked down and hungry… do not cause trouble … during Global Holodomor…
Sounds terrible — but better than Murder Rape Cannibalism Fuel Pond Cancer.
AwakeNotWoke replied to your comment on Excess Deaths & Post-Neonatal Deaths.
The immune systems of those who contract SARS-CoV-2 are already ruined and the more times they contract the more ruined it is. The jabbed just die faster.
Undiagnosed and untreated HIV has a mean incubation period of about 7 years befoe it causes AIDS. We don’t know what the incubation period is for SARS-CoV-2 before it causes AIDS but it’s slready clear that SARS-CoV-2 is far deadlier than HIV. There is long-term rewiring of innate immunity. There’s learned down regulation of Neutrophils and Monocytes leading to enhanced secondary infections, leading to huge sepsis from these.
Properly functioning innate immunity is the only barrier standing in the way of severe disease from infection and secondary infection. If this is being repeatedly downregulated from repeated exposure to SARS-CoV-2’s highly immunogenic spike protein, as appears to be the case, then we are in big trouble. And, with secondary infections in particular, if there’s too much upregulation then the organs will be inflamed to the point of failure. COVID is training the innate immune system to trigger blood clots instead of attacking COVID and other types of infections, before they infect the cells in the organs. Hard wired immune tolerance for phagocytes from repeat SARS-CoV-2 exposure.
Once they develop a paralysis response we open Pandora’s box of opportunistic infections. Thus it appears that we have another disease that destroys the immune system on our hands that is like HIV only much worse. Abstract “Although alterations in myeloid cells have been observed in COVID-19, the specific underlying mechanisms are not completely understood. Here, we examine the function of classical CD14+ monocytes in patients with mild and moderate COVID-19 during the acute phase of infection and in healthy individuals. Monocytes from COVID-19 patients display altered expression of cell surface receptors and a dysfunctional metabolic profile that distinguish them from healthy monocytes.
Secondary pathogen sensing ex vivo leads to defects in pro-inflammatory cytokine and type-I IFN production in moderate COVID-19 cases, together with defects in glycolysis. COVID-19 monocytes switch their gene expression profile from canonical innate immune to pro-thrombotic signatures and are functionally pro-thrombotic, both at baseline and following ex vivo stimulation with SARS-CoV-2.
Transcriptionally, COVID-19 monocytes are characterized by enrichment of pathways involved in hemostasis, immunothrombosis, platelet aggregation and other accessory pathways to platelet activation and clot formation. These results identify a potential mechanism by which monocyte dysfunction may contribute to COVID-19 pathology.” Transcriptional reprogramming from innate immune functions to a pro-thrombotic signature by monocytes in COVID-19

I had a brief (3 second) moment of contemplation after reading this https://igorchudov.substack.com/p/cognitive-impairment-in-adults-what/
And was thinking … perhaps we are being too hard on mike norm keith … they are damaged and in no position to think logically .. yet we (particularly FE) taunts them mercilessly …
Is it fair?
But then… I thought .. Fast Eddy mocks the Paralympic volleyball team that slithers around on the floor trying to bump a ball over a 1 metre high net….
And decided norm keith mike are fair game hahahahaha
The fact that they have minimal cognitive function makes it even more fun + they are on about the same level as a worm … or a tree…they don’t even realize they are being ridiculed and provide laughing stock for ofw (during these very dark … and darkening times)
Their cognitive failure is highly selective: they reject any evidence – even that it is evidence – of a situation which would be too upsetting, even terrifying to face.
In other words the ‘denial mechanism’ which enables us to face life while ignoring the darker side, for the most part. We all share in that to some degree.
The next point is that are suckers for propaganda, and will repeat it almost word for word – that certainly merits ridicule.
And the last is that their type is dangerous to those of us who have remained sane. Not a whisper of protest against mandates and abuse of basic human rights by any of them and their kind.
Madame Fast just walked in … dinner with a couple of colleagues who are Vaxxed… neither is injured but again they are always sick… often severely ill.
Both of them understand the vax is the culprit — both of them believe their immune systems are f789ed. Both are feeling despair.
Too late … the hook is set… now we just wait….
They might recover by taking vit.D and nattokinase and eating a healthy diet. The Weston Price Foundation has a good guide to food. I call it a statement of the obvious but I’ve eaten non-processed food so long I regard that stuff as normal.
My immune system was mediocre before 2018 due in hindsight to a lifetime of vitamin D deficiency, caused by living in the world’s cloud capital (the UK). Colds in most winters. None since then – COVID was barely detectable.
Van den Bosche recommends people like that stockpile anti-virals in good time. He says the minority who avoided the trap should just carry on with life (I paraphrase).
Haha … if I suggest that they will think I am crazy!!!
That would force them to admit the Rat Juice is neither safe nor effective.
+ why would I try to help anyone?
Re The risks of deploying leaky vaccines during pandemics… If you have a couple of months of free time available … here’s a trove of research on this topic…
https://scholar.google.com/scholar?start=90&q=leaky+vaccines&hl=en&as_sdt=0,5
Gail posted an article by a Viago (?????) I cut and pasted it to a friend, thinking I should be honest to a good friend. I said as much. She’s all kinds of degrees vaxxed–the goddam fool–and her brother is hospitalized waiting to probably remove his gall bladder, all stemming from a shot-down heart, (dude used to be super healthy.) She lost her sh*t, and I promised to post nothing like that again.
We are dealing with a controversial subject. Not everyone can believe what is going on.
I might take a pc of paper and write COVID VACCINES DESTROY YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM then tape them on the stalls in public bathrooms.
How f789ing awesome is that.
Hahahahaha … I just ripped my guts laughing so hard… I’m trying to fend the dogs off with one hand before they tear my bowels out the hole — while stuffing it back and taping it closed… hang on … …. …. Hoolio down! …. ….
Ok fixed.
This is just priceless. Proper Hall of Fame OFW comment
Can we get more details – what did you post? Where did you post it? Or do you mean you sent it to your friend?
As I began seeing more and more signs of cognitive impairment following vaccination, I realized that what I observed mirrored what I previously seen with chronic inflammatory conditions such as mold toxicity, HPV vaccine injuries, and lyme disease. Some of the examples included:
•Many people reported having a “COVID” brain where it was just harder for them to think and remember things. I saw this after more severe cases of COVID, after vaccination, and in patients who per the time line developed it from the vaccine but believed it had come from COVID.
•These issues tended to be more likely to affect older adults, but younger ones were more likely to notice (and complain) about them. In the case of older adults, I typically learned about them from someone else who had observed the cognitive decline rather than directly from the individual.
•I saw cases of vaccine injured individuals who had trouble remembering or recalling the word they knew expressed what they were trying to communicate (this is also a common mold toxicity symptom).
•I knew a few people (e.g., friends and colleagues) who told me their brain just didn’t work the same since they’d received the vaccine.
•I saw cases of coworkers demonstrating noticeable (and permanent) cognitive impairment after I’d assumed they’d received the vaccine. Their impairment was never mentioned or addressed (rather the physician kept on working, did not perform as well, and in some cases retired).
•I met significantly injured vaccine injured patients who told me one of the primary symptoms was a loss of cognitive functioning they had taken for granted throughout their life. In many cases following treatment of their vaccine injury, their cognition also improved.
•One of my friends (a very smart immunologist) developed complications from the first two vaccines and based on their symptoms was able to describe exactly which parts of their immune systems were becoming dysregulated. Against my advice, they took a booster and reported they suffered a significant cognitive impairment never experienced before in their lifetime. I feel this case was important to share as it illustrates how an exacerbation of a vaccine injury can also cause an exacerbation of cognitive symptoms.
Note: I also saw significant cognitive impairment occur in individuals who were acutely ill from COVID-19.

Back at the time covid was going around, we certainly heard about “brain fog” as being a side effect. But I haven’t heard much about it since, until now.
Multiple Vaxxers have reported this to me …
But they don’t mention it now cuz it’s normalized… it’s the new normal for them
hahahahahahaha
But we see evidence daily on OFW
One of the students of my medical Prof friend developed ‘brain fog’ and ‘Long Covid’ (of course she is multi-vaxxed too).
Can’t carry on with her chosen career as a surgeon, and so is now editing, WFH, a medical journal.
Personally, I’d love to live in a brain fog; it sounds rather comforting doesn’t it?
I do enjoy an unhappy ending like that! Particularly when it involves someone who surely would know Safe and Effective and Operation Warp Speed should never be used in a sentence
We can celebrate that she will not be getting anywhere near a living patient, certainly!
A waste of a pretty young woman, though.
norm sees opportunity here…
Plenty of SCHAD here https://amidwesterndoctor.substack.com/p/adverse-reactions-to-covid-vaccines
I know someone who went blind minutes after the shot … they kept her seated at the clinic… and 20 minutes later she regained her sight. She was not overly concerned – I suppose she thought this was a sign that the Rat Juice was working.
She was dead on the money there… hahahahahaha
I remember that story: I simply can’t conceive of not being troubled by actually losing ones sight, even if only temporarily!
It’s rather more extreme than going to bed for 48 hrs or a week as some people I know had to do.
Propaganda/behavioural ‘science’ seems to be a great gig if you like turning people into clueless puppets who will poison themselves with a smile.
How utterly f789ing stoooopid low IQ mentally ill r3tarded imbe.cilick … dummmb as a stump … would you have to be … to have believed this hahahahahaha
F789 the vaxxers… I am tired of people making up excuses for them… and I am tired of them telling me that I am an id-iot for not injecting the Rat Juice (for a free donut).
At the start of the vaccine rollout, there were four red flags to me:
• The early advertising campaigns for the vaccines mentioned that you would feel awful when you got the vaccine, but that was fine and a sign the vaccine was working. Even with vaccines that had a very high rate of adverse events (e.g., the HPV vaccine), I never saw this mentioned. This signified it was likely the adverse event rate with the spike protein vaccines would be much higher than normal.
https://igorchudov.substack.com/p/cognitive-impairment-in-adults-what
https://igorchudov.substack.com/p/disturbing-rise-in-cognitive-problems/comments
I recall it was announced at the beginning of the roll-out that the side-effects would be ‘no walk in the park’, but brief.
This was to condition everyone to feel no alarm at being very sick for a few days or even a week or so.
And it worked! They accordingly felt no undue alarm, and even worried if they felt nothing ‘Is it working?!’ Darkly amusing, in a way.
Of course! A lot was clear from the beginning! You dont vaxx into a pandemic, vaxx against respiratoric infections causes mutations, no sterilizing effects, you dont vaxx convalesced people, the study excluded elderly which were in the focus at the beginning, to cause cells to look like a virus obviously causes auto immune reactions, mRNA may jump into DNA, the modified parts of the RNA may cause troubles, the nanoparticles may, the DNA debris, the squalen…
And for this the majorities demanded to stop human rights! An era is over and gone!
An era is over and gone!
It is so sad. I bought in 100%. I thought the enlightenment was Fukuyama’s end of history. So, so, wrong. The struggle bloody of tooth and claw continues.
I never believed in the Enlightenment: my attitude was shaped by reading Beowulf and the Arthurian Cycle of legends – much closer to reality.
However, I can see that if I had been a brilliant scientist and not an historian – or craftsman living in an decrepit attic (hello Norman NOF!) – I might well have been taken in by the myth of Progress, despite the horrors and irrationality of the early 20th c.
lol
for reasons of inadequacy best known to yourself xabier
you chose to define me a long time ago—following the dogwhistle of your mentor i suspect
i merely responded at the same level
i would prefer not to be included in your childish verbal antics, but you seem to have a compulsion in that respect.
Norman: a little advice, mere insults do not constitute an argument.
And all you offer are insults, to anyone who disagrees with you ‘Anti-vaxxer’, ‘inadequate’, ‘conspiracy theorist’, ‘don’t know how families work’, ‘don’t understand women, sex’, ‘you have a saviour complex’, ‘you are asking for a punch on the nose’ etc. All authentic Norman quotes.
It really is pub-level stuff. Although that is not quite right, as some quite bright people go to pubs, a friend of mine, for instance, used to drink with Stephen Hawking.
You fancy yourself as some kind of author, poet and – God help us – intellectual, but I have met builders and craftsmen, housewives, who left school at 16 or 18, who are much brighter than you, pay more attention to facts, and who have better manners.
Now, may we have your thoughts on PROFESSOR Norman Fenton’s careful and well-reasoned work on the ‘pandemic’ and the vaxxes, to which your attention has repeatedly been drawn?
No? I thought not. It would puncture your belief in never being wrong: hence the endless qualifications you indulge in when someone has pointed out how asinine one of your generalisations is. ‘But my statement still stands’, as you always finish.
lol xabier
stick to enclosing words…not creating them
all ofw stuff is archived
all the comments ypu attribute to me have been reactive, not proactive. It is all checkable—in detail. do it.
Easy to take a comment out of context and re-use it. Deleting words to alter meaning–easy to do.
Note–reactive—never proactive.
I do not bring s ex into OFW, because it has no place here—my comments are in reaction to those who do—you can check it out. Similrly–the ‘punch on the nose’ comment was in reaction to such comments, that it would be the response in a RL situation if such a comment was made. Nothing about pdo’s, se xdolls.
“You disagree with me—so you must be a p’do”—does someone of your high academic achievement reall go along with such nonsense?–Perhaps you do.??
‘You belong behind the dumpster” etc etc. Try a few ‘p’do inferences next time youre propping up a bar.–let me know how you get on. (or up)
Such comments come from a sense of personal inadequacy—I do not make them, you have never seen me make them.
You have never read a se xual innuendo posted here by me–no faux ob scenities, no deviant inferences of any kind. I do not use profanity in RL…neither do I in here.—-ever. My use of the English language is on a higher level than that. Every word has its correct usage in its right place.. Think about that.
My comments, at least as far as I know, are not deleted because of their crass content.
I use words in correct context–you might not be aware of how that works. I suspect not
Saying so merely reveals how you cling to your emperors robes.
It reveal your own insecurity xabier–I have said so many times
As to higher education, I have said many times I have no academic background.—yet folks regularly turn up to listen to me talk, and pay to read what I write. And have done for years. Obviously got nothing better to do, Odd that.
As to Hawking–he assured us that we will migrate to other planets.
I say we wont.
Now which of us will you put your bet on xabier?
and as to not knowing how families work
I was you who told me I should tell my grandkids (and greats) about the dangers of vaxxing
they are grownups—they dont want me telling them anything except the date of reading my will. I am just glad they are happy healthy and successful–that’s all you can hope for with kids.
The last thing they want is an old git like me bleating on about anything.
Which, as I said, tells me you know nothing about how families work—that was why i said it in the first place.
God and Fast Eddy are looking down about this fine comment — and smiling.
Anyone who thinks GVB is wrong https://voiceforscienceandsolidarity.substack.com/p/breaking-the-silence-one-final-time only need to speak to some Vaxxers…
They are sick as dogs… infection after infection after infection … when do you remember this happening before?
Their immune systems are smashed. Obvioulsy.
And we have this precedent with leaky vaccines … they even ask in this article….

…. Use of Marek’s disease vaccines: could they be driving the virus to increasing virulence? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15757475/

Surely?
UEP…
“They are sick as dogs… infection after infection after infection … when do you remember this happening before?”
My Mom (73) and my Dad’s girlfriend (73) are both triple rat-juiced.
Mom takes 5000 IU Vitamin D3 for Osteoporosis.
Dad’s girlfriend takes Hydroxychloroquine for Sjogren’s Disorder.
They have both gotten away with just a few mild respiratory illnesses over the past 3 years. Dad’s girlfriend claims her Doctor told her that none of the HCQ patients have died from Covid so far.
Worryingly, 2023 is looking far worse than 2022. We are close to 30,000 excess deaths already this year, compared with approximately 7,700 this time last year.
If we continue at this rate, there will be approximately 70,000 excess deaths this year.

Sooooo EEEEEEEE!!! The roller coaster is picking up speed!!!
Thank God 800 ‘migrants’ drowned before reaching the Shores of Insanity.
How about that?
This is a UK analysis. My impression is that US is not showing a similar pattern.
In fact, in 2023, US deaths reported so far don’t seem to be high.
This is a chart showing month by month differences between UK and US, by age and in total.
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/excess-mortality-p-scores-projected-baseline-by-age?country=USA~GBR
You have to hover over the chart to see which country is which. In 2023, the US seems to be doing quite well (but the US has a big lag in reporting deaths)
This is a cumulative excess mortality chart from Our World in Data, including 2020.

For the UK, the fact that excess deaths are holding at about 10% should be a concern, because it implies the recent excess deaths are still likely around 10% higher than they have been historically.
I have shown quite a few countries in this chart. You can add or delete countries. Of the countries shown, the US is shown to have the highest excess deaths as a percentage of the expected, but this is coming down. US citizens tend to be overweight and otherwise not in very good health (lack of exercise).
US is likely hiding the data.
People are unhealthier in the US so surely the numbers would be much higher proportionately
Also dark skinned people have lower Vitamin D rates and much higher death rates. The US has more dark skinned citizens than most European countries. (Dark skinned people in Africa get more direct sunlight, so they are not low in Vitamin D.
