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.
GVB also suggests that we may not even need a ‘Bossche Mutation’ aka Human Mareks… to Raise the Ruckus…
That the damaged immune systems of the Vaxxers eventually fails and the common cold kills them — essentially they have the immune system of an 80 yr old in a home for the aged…
How about this for a one two heavyweight punch to the face of the Vaxxers:
1. They all have wrecked immune systems… the more shots they took the less protection they have … but even those with only one shot are flying blind. This is why they are getting sick all the time…
2. The Bossche Mutation emerges… Bossche Mutation meet nearly 6B Vaxxers with little or no immune function. Recall how with the hottest strains of Marek’s ALL chickens died within a week or so… the chickens did not have ruined immune systems… so they could survive the less lethal Marek’s strains…. not so with the Vaxxers.
See how I have evolved UEP … creating a marriage of the wrecked immune systems + the Bossche Mutation … how cool is that!

More on Money put EVs from Ford. From solar panel plant in Buffalo to Li battery plant in Elizabethtown KY, etc.
https://www.frontpagemag.com/electric-cars-are-bankrupting-the-auto-industry/
Golly! “Ford’s investment in Rivian’s electric cars can’t be helping. Last year the startup electric pickup truck maker was spending $220,000 to make the electric vehicles that it sells for $81,000.”
Youch! Im seeing these trucks everywhere now. I wondered how they were doing it.
Didn’t Ford sell their stake to fund their own EV development?
Ford has been building electric cars for a quite a few years (with a long hiatus until a couple years ago). The Mustang and now Lightening are probably the notables, but like all big EVs… they have issues.
Unless an inexpensive (wont happen) solid state battery (maybe?) comes around, I just don’t think these things make much sense for anywhere but mild places powered by hydro or nuclear.
It would be better if cars had 1/8 the battery weight and cost for 100km travel instead of 500km, and then have batteries where power can be dropped off for credit, and stored for a very long time, and be available even if the power goes out

An anti-vaccine video on YouTube. Sort of cute, actually.
Video below:
Biden to CNN, USA is running out of ammo
USA is out of shells and ammo to send to UKR, so it is reduced to sending illegal cluster bombs to UKR.
This is the first time that USA has run out of weapons in a modern war.
USA produces around 30,000 155mm shells per month – what is mainly used in the UKR conflict – which is nothing like enough to keep up with UKR demand of likely 100s of 1000s of shells per month.
USA has already pulled out all of the stoppers for a year to double production to 30,000, and significant increases are years away.
Europe produces a paltry 4000 shells a month, and it is not even remotely a serious player in wars.
Russia started the UKR conflict with much bigger stockpiles of shells, and its production is multiple times greater.
Russia produces 100s of 1000s of shells per month. USA estimates that Russia produces 3.5 million shells per year and that is increasing and may even double.
The USA has basically already lost what is basically an artillery war in UKR.
Cluster bombs are not only highly unconventional and controversial, they are not at all designed for the use that UKR needs.
Russia has much bigger stockpiles of cluster bombs, and if it came to it, Russia could use them to devastating effect on approaching UKR columns in its ‘counteroffensive’.
So, USA has run out of the key weapon in a war for the first time in its history, and its capacity to produce them is effectively gone.
USA has effectively lost the UKR proxy war.
That is the first 7 mins of the vid.
(I always said that USA and Europe/ UK simply lack the productive and energetic base to compete in war with Russia, let alone China, and that USA hegemony is over. Service economies may be ‘big’ in dollar terms but they are completely useless in wars. The decisive shifts toward ‘complexity’ (services) have already taken place over decades, and the West really has no one else to blame, because the situation was always liable to come to this point. The West totally talked itself into ‘history is over’ when the Berlin Wall fell, and assumed that all countries were bound to settle peacefully into the USA economic and geopolitical world order. They were warned at the time that sort of thing tends to be said whenever a power is briefly dominant. So here we are.)
Alexander says that the USA has effectively Lost the Ukraine war, because it is out of the weapons used in this war.

The systematic support of the good is the work of the church. It clearly is not being done by politicians nor by corporations.
From the headings:
Vigano Exposed: Financial corruption in the Vatican. Vigano also confronted sexual abuse by Pope Francis and others.
The talk starts out:
“For two years, we have been witnessing a global coup d’état in which a financial and ideological elite have succeeded in seizing control of part of the national government, public and private institutions, the media, the judiciary, politicians, and religious leaders. All of these, without distinction, have become enslaved to these new masters, who ensure money, power, and social affirmation to their accomplices. Fundamental rights, which were until yesterday presented as invaluable, have been trampled underfoot in the name of an emergency.
Today, a health emergency; tomorrow an ecological emergency; and after that, an internet emergency. This global coup d’état deprived citizens of any possibility of defense. Since the executive, legislative and judicial powers are complicit in the violation of law, justice, and the purpose for which they exist.
It is a global coup d’état because this criminal attack against citizens extends to the whole world with very rare exceptions. It is a world war, where the enemies are all of us, even those of us who have unwittingly not yet understood the significance of what is happening.
It is a war fought not with weapons, but with illegitimate rules, wicked economic policies, and intolerable limitations of natural rights. Supranational organizations, financed in large measure by the conspirators of this coup d’état, are interfering with the governments of individual nations, and in the lives and relationships of billions of people. They are doing it for money, certainly, but even more so, in order to centralize power, in order to establish a planetary dictatorship. It is the Great Reset of the World Economic Forum; the Agenda 2030 of the United Nations. It is the plan of the New World Order in which a universal Republic enslaves everyone and a religion of humanity cancels out Christ.
In the face of this global coup d’état, it is necessary to form an international anti-globalist alliance which gathers all those who want to oppose this dictatorship, who have no intention of becoming slaves to a faceless power, who are not willing to cancel their own identity, their own individuality, their own religious faith. If the attack is global, the defense must also be global.
I call upon rulers, politicians and religious leaders, intellectuals, and all people of good will, inviting them to unite in an alliance that launches an anti-globalist manifesto refuting, point by point, the errors and deviations of this dystopia of the New World Order and proposing concrete alternatives for a political program inspired by the common good, the moral principles of Christianity, traditional values, the protection of life, and the natural family, the protection of businesses and work, the promotion of education and research, and respect for creation.

China Demographics: What if the Chinese population is actually 1 billion and not 1.44bn!? What if Beijing has totally overestimated the birth-rate in china and totally underestimated female infanticide? (This could be like Russia in the mid-80’s when their economy was found to be much smaller and weaker than people thought. Some fascinating work behind this. In 1995 data was 850m going to to 950/1bn for 2020. Assumed now to be 1.44bn imminently. There is some fascinating analysis I am told corroborated by 3 independent sources. The 1st based on Salt consumption. The 2nd Moscow academy of scientists (as credible as MIT, Oxford etc) data skewed on double-counting for justifying higher regional govt spending. The 3rd data point from NASA using night pollution and using this to estimate GNP. Then there is the dark-web data-base that alludes to formal census and Govt work (now denied) of <1bn. You may ask SO WHAT? : well what if this is a centralised economy that might simply be believing its own garbage that has been over building infrastructure & housing. Go around the major cities at night and there are way too few lights on in major apartment blocks. Whatsmore ask anyone who has ever seen or experienced crowding like you would in New Delhi, Sao Paolo or even Oxford street on a Saturday afternoon. Chinas’ empty cities seem to be the reality few are talking about anymore…(Thx M Latham/ Commodity intelligence). As an aside: see the latest Singapore Population data from 2022? Births were down 8pc YoY to just 35k. Deaths up a whopping 10.7% YoY; highest No since 1960!
I have heard stories before saying that China’s population has been over-estimated. I hadn’t focused on the fact that it could be as low as 950 million.
I have been in both India and China (China more than India). The standard of living in China seems to me to be an order of magnitude higher than in India. China has a lot of high-rise homes built out of concrete, with flush toilets and air conditioners in the windows. The impression in India is far different. These are photos I took in India.

On India’s multilane roads, the lane markers seemed to be only “lane suggestions.”
China, in contrast comes across as a lot closer to Europe or Japan in standard of living (particularly in the big cities). China also has a lot of big fancy roads.
The new Energy Institute 2023 Statistical Review of World Energy gives the Energy Consumption per Capita of China to be 111.8 gigajules per capita. If the population is really 950 million instead of 1.44 billion, then the gigajoules per capita would be about 168. In comparison, Japan’s energy consumption per capita is reported to be 143.9. Japan’s energy consumption per capita was as high as 177.2 in the year 2000. Thus, China’s energy consumption per capita now may be as high as Japan’s was a few years ago.
India’s energy consumption per capita in 2022 is 25.7, in comparison. When I visited India in 2012, India’s energy consumption per capita was 18.9 gigajoules. So compared to China’s energy consumption per capita now of 168, the 2012 amount is very close to one tenth as high.
China has done an amazing job of pulling itself upward. If we look at historical data, China’s energy consumption per capita in 1991 (25.6) was about the same as India’s is now. But this was done with a combination of debt and cheap coal. The coal is now depleting.
In fact, we have no way of knowing for sure the value of the world’s population. Even accepting the official data from China and India, it is hard to believe the accuracy of the censuses of countries like Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Bangladesh, DR Congo, Philippines, Ethiopia or Egypt, in which supposedly 1.4 B people live. Is it believable that the population in Africa has increased by 500M in the last 20 years? Maybe not. It’s believable that the governments of semi-failed states like Angola, Mozambique or Somalia are capable of carrying out accurate population censuses in very extensive territories and with terrible roads? I doubt it. So world population numbers are anyone’s guess, and undoubtedly inflating that number has some advantages, for example, for the overpopulation narrative (and with this i’m not denying that this is a real problem, unlike others like globalworming).
the basic world economic problem is very simple to understand:
In order to function, we must produce more next year than this year, forever.
This is wrong. It may be true that the financial system will collapse without growth but the physical economy still exists. It may be true that no one gets to retire without young to pay the bill. That is the way it has been for billions of years. The old will work until they(we) die.
Lower population is good. Less load on the environment, more resources for nature. A cleaner quieter live for all.
”the way it has been for billions of years”
that is literally none-sense.
our modern economic system,,,ie the one where we must produce more next year than last year has existed for only 300 years—or examined more rationally, not much more than 100 years.
reduce the population by 90% by all means, but that takes us back the living condition of pre-1700.
we cannot support a modern lifestyle with a population that low.
And no—- “AI” will not deliver anything
In terms of biology all life had to feed itself or die. For billions of years there was no social security.
i foolishly took it as read, that ‘economic problem’ meant in our modern context

There are 4000 Spent Fuel Ponds Around the Globe…
If you don’t cool the spent fuel, the temperature will rise and there may be a swift chain reaction that leads to spontaneous combustion–an explosion and fire of the spent fuel assemblies. Such a scenario would emit radioactive particles into the atmosphere. Pick your poison. Fresh fuel is hotter and more radioactive, but is only one fuel assembly. A pool of spent fuel will have dozens of assemblies.
One report from Sankei News said that there are over 700 fuel assemblies stored in one pool at Fukushima. If they all caught fire, radioactive particles—including those lasting for as long as a decade—would be released into the air and eventually contaminate the land or, worse, be inhaled by people. “To me, the spent fuel is scarier. All those spent fuel assemblies are still extremely radioactive,” Dalnoki-Veress says.
It has been known for more than two decades that, in case of a loss of water in the pool, convective air cooling would be relatively ineffective in such a “dense-packed” pool. Spent fuel recently discharged from a reactor could heat up relatively rapidly to temperatures at which the zircaloy fuel cladding could catch fire and the fuel’s volatile fission product, including 30-year half-life Cs, would be released. The fire could well spread to older spent fuel. The long-term land-contamination consequences of such an event could be significantly worse than those from Chernobyl.
http://science.time.com/2011/03/15/a-new-threat-in-japan-radioactive-spent-fuel/
Japan’s chief cabinet secretary called it “the devil’s scenario.” Two weeks after the 11 March 2011 earthquake and tsunami devastated the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, causing three nuclear reactors to melt down and release radioactive plumes, officials were bracing for even worse. They feared that spent fuel stored in pools in the reactor halls would catch fire and send radioactive smoke across a much wider swath of eastern Japan, including Tokyo.

The Chernobyl accident was relatively minor, involved no spent fuel ponds, and was controlled by pouring cement onto the reactor. This was breaking down so a few years back they re-entombed.

I seem to remember watching two different videos that stated millions, maybe tens of millions, of citizens in China own empty flats that are worth, on paper at least, the equivalent of 1-2 million dollars. But their income is no better than ours. All built on debt that cannot possibly be paid back. Reminds me of the insanity of the rising stock market prices in the USA during the roaring 20s, that lead to the crash of ’29. Not that I was there, but John Kenneth Galbraith wrote an excellent book on the subject. History repeats itself.
I talked to people in China about the impossibly high prices of flats, especially in big cities like Beijing. This is a big reason why families don’t have more children.
Bribery of officials has historically been very common. I know that there was some attempt at a crackdown, but I don’t know how much the bribery issue has gone away. With bribes, some people can afford these high-priced flats.
The Potemkin Economy … is on the verge of imploding … the Ghost Town binge is exhausted
GVBs prediction for an autumn emergence of the Bossche Mutation makes sense … they are barely able to hold the system together now

It’s as if I am already dead.
I knew when I left Canada in March – it was likely the final time I would visit.
BTW – we have a guest bedroom in a dark corner of this house … it is in a part of the house that we don’t bother to heat because normally that area is not used… sometimes I will sleep there … I have the deepest sleep filled with endless dreams… I refer to it as The Dream Room … I had a mate visit a couple of months ago and he mentioned that he’s never had such deep sleep and vivid dreams…
I may sleep in that room tonight. I am hoping to dream of SI Swimsuit models…
Poignant. We have two rooms with beds and I divide my bed time between them. I’m glad that others have dreams that they like. I tend not to have those in any large numbers (but it could be much worse). The morphine they gave me in hospital for pain made me see very strange and undesirable things. And no swimsuit models.
M Fast keeps asking me why I sleep in that dark cold room … not sure what her reaction would be to ‘cuz I want to dream of swimsuit models’… she’d probably think I am extra f789ed.

Rest easy Edward, Canada is a communist crap pit at this point. I only talk candidly to a handful of people here now. They are completely freaked out by what we are collectively observing in the general population (literal insanity).
As this collapse deepens the cold here will begin to exert its toll and the reality of what this country really is (Sasquatch and Bear domain) will “educate” modern Canucks (kill them that is).
I suspect New Zealand is as behaviorally destitute as Canada, but overall its warmer at least.
Much warmer… an Otago winter generally resembles spring … in Canada … I don’t think I have ever seen a minus temp during the day.. we might get two dustings of snow a season and it melts by lunch
The thing is … they are too dumb to properly insulate their homes here…

Apologies if you’ve seen this already. It’s a prank video call with Christine Lagarde. She thought she was talking to Zelensky.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0TKiItrCeE
If you watch from 15 minutes in, she says that in October they will make moves to begin a digital euro. She says they have to move fast in case corporations like Amazon and Facebook start off a rival digital currency.
She also says that she doesn’t think people will object to a digital euro because cash payments above 1000 euros have already been outlawed.
Christine Lagarde, one of the chief nodes in the selfish organizing system. Another Selfish Organizing theory comes true: Central banks will set lower limits on cash transactions to encourage the use of digital currencies. “Move fast” could mean “Accelerate.” Someone who wants to move an agenda through quickly to avoid without having to make concessions or explain problems to the opposition is employing “Acceleration.” You’ll never get someone whose identity, livelihood and/or reputation depends on the narrative to politely admit that a problem exists. You need a wrench in the gears to stop acceleration so the other nodes can identify, study and address the problem. It’s all good though. We got a new puppy. Life goes on!

People fear AI will kill humans. Maybe the way it really goes is the AI of the army of the west fights the AI of the army of the east. The war intensifies and ever larger AI army/air force/navy/subs are built on both sides. The war effort displace services to humans like food, housing. We have seen that no one in the west can stand against the neocons, who ever they are. Likely the rage of war will infest the east in the same way. The AIs will have no ill will to any human they will just take all resources to fulfill their mission win the war but keep it sub-nuclear because that would be [a word wp puts into moderation].

During the pandemic, the Fed bent over backwards to bail out corporate America, including by buying corporate bonds and bond ETFs, including ETFs that focused on junk bonds. And it cut its policy rates to near 0%, and it bought trillions of dollars of Treasury securities and MBS over a few months, flooding the economy with what would ultimately be $4.6 trillion of insta-liquidity that went chasing after everything, and of course, now we have inflation.
So the Fed is now doing the opposite: interest rates are over 5% and QT marches on. And you’d think this rapid tightening – the most rapid in 40 years – would have a more serious impact on financial conditions and on bankruptcy filings.
And it’s sort-of astounding — I mean, nothing astounds us anymore here, but still — that the financial conditions are still so loose, and that corporate bankruptcy filings haven’t shot higher.

I suppose the issue is that inflation-adjusted interest rates still aren’t very high. Also, lenders are pretty willing to make loans, even to those with poor credit. And there is quite a bit of pent up demand, after not being able to buy goods. Furthermore, oil prices aren’t all that high. WTI $73.20. Jobs are readily available, although often not very high paying.
Economic data look very good also in Europe. This is an interesting point in relation to Gail’s article. We should see more bad data, right?
Allegedly, the European states have invested 2.000.000.000.000 EURs to compensate the Covid measures. Perhaps these payments are identified as GDP growth and the credits are somehow hidden. To figure this out is beyond my horizon.
Talking about models, it would be interesting to discuss, if a structural recession as a consequence of resource depletion would be visible in our macroeconomic data. If we invest more into exploration, production and transport it will currently increase GDP, though the ‘energetic productivity’ or the EROI declines. It may be the case that the more we are reaching limits of growth, our economical data look even better. But – behind my horizon!
Maybe we’ll go out on a high, Jan? That would be most welcome.

On June 15th, a new paper was published in BURNS, the Journal of the International Society for Burn Injuries, and it described a medical who-dun-it, a baffling mystery. The paper was titled “The Seven-Fold Rise In Incidence Of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome & Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis: Associations With Covid-19 And The Vaccine.”
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) is a rare, serious skin condition that causes the top layer of skin to die and slough off (shed), and often also affects mucous membranes, like the lining of the mouth, eyes, and the genitals. Ouch. Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) is a very similar, related term describing more severe cases where over 30% of the skin is detached.
SJS/TEN looks a lot like third-degree burns, such as caused by boiling water, often over a person’s entire body. It is considered life-threatening, and requires immediate, emergency treatment.

One issue is whether people will even believe the connection of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome to covid or its vaccine.
About a month ago, a close relative of mine came down with what was initially diagnosed as Stevens-Johnson Syndrome while this relative was being treated with multiple IV antibiotics for an abdominal infection. I had never heard of the syndrome before then. This relative is multiply vaccinated and around 70 years old.
When I ran across this article, I sent a link to him. He told me that the specialists he saw decided that it was “only an allergic reaction.” The specialists he saw switched IV antibiotics. They also prescribed an oral antihistamine and a steroid creme for the rash. In fact, he is still on the antihistamine, several weeks later. (Perhaps the steroid creme, too. I didn’t ask.)
I am sure this relative could not imagine that his vaccine might partly be to blame, and his doctors couldn’t either.
I know someone who was perfectly healthy – took shot 2 >>> heart damage … told it was ‘pre-existing’ …. ok… takes booster >>> hand goes number the same day… told maybe the vax… progresses to a terminal neuro disease… told not the vax… cuz it doesn’t cause that…
I heard she’s just been fitted for an electric wheelchair and is going downhill fast…
You wanna bet she’ll take another booster if offered….

What would it help to know the skin issue was induced by a toxic injection? There is no general de-vaxx-treatment, except perhaps Natto. So at the end every doc will have to look for a symptomatic treatment.
If this skin issue comes from a bad batch, it would be interesting to make some tests to potentially find more until now hidden damage as precaution and for early treatment. Higher inflammation rates for example could be compensated by a diet.
But we dont have the proceedures nor payment take overs nor will the patient be interested. So the best the doc can do is say, you are fully protected, eat a lot of sugar, dont move and watch more TV. The placebo effect has more benefits than most medical treatments.
Getting enough sleep has more benefits than many medical treatments, except with aggressive infections, of course.
And then it is essential for convalescence once ‘cured’.

An eye-popping new study published in May in the Journal Nature titled, “Risk Assessment Of Retinal Vascular Occlusion After COVID-19 Vaccination.”
Retinal vascular occlusion occurs when a blood vessel in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, becomes blocked. It’s a sort of tiny blood clot. In serious cases, it leads to vision loss or blindness. In mild cases patients have floaters, burred vision, light flashes, and/or eye pain.

My email re a traffic offence:
It is our understanding that the police have been mandated to take the Covid injections so therefore it is pertinent to my hearing that the NZ police release full details of the officers vaccination status – specifically how many injections had he received by the date of the incident – and are these all Pfizer brand injections.
We would also ask if the officer has had a recent eyesight examination.
If you are unwilling to disclose the injection information then I would suggest you withdraw the matter effective immediately.

The evidence for the prosecution, if required, will be the visual observations as per the officer’s notes.
To suggest the officer is going blind due to the COVID 19 vaccination is outrageous. The officer’s medical status is a private matter and has no bearing on the issuing of the above infringement notice.

A plague species, despite common belief, rarely dies off because of a lack of food, as shown in Dennis Chitty’s book, Do Lemmings commit suicide?: Beautiful hypotheses and Ugly Facts.
https://www.nhbs.com/do-lemmings-commit-suicide-book
We show all the classic signs of being a plague species and appear to be following the well trodden route of catastrophic decline, witnessed in the rise and fall of every plague.
“An evolutionary adaptation that increases a species’ ability to
harvest energy from its environment becomes a lethal handicap
when the birth environment of that specialisation disappears.”
Our genes gave the hairless chimp a much needed advantage, but that advantage also came with much danger, so a hidden kill switch was not just part of the package, it was the very thing that allowed our rise.
Take away the mysticism, observe without the noise and you will see little difference from any other mammal in the decline stage.
Still, it was fun sitting on the peak for a short time. Enjoy the ride down and try not to let the stress build too much. It really is the killer.
Marek’s disease has plagued the chicken industry, it causes $2 billion in losses annually for fowl farmers across the globe. The virus attacks the brain, spawns tumors in the birds and comes in different varieties or “strains”, which are classified as “hot” or “cold” based on their brutality.
Andrew Read, who co-led the study, had heard about the severe effects of the hottest Marek’s strains before his lab started studying the disease about a decade ago, but even he was surprised when he finally saw the virus in action.
“With the hottest strains, every unvaccinated bird dies within 10 days. There is no human virus that is that hot. Ebola, for example, doesn’t kill everything in 10 days,” said Read, who is an evolutionary biologist at Penn State University.
In recent years, experts have wondered if leaky vaccines were to blame for the emergence of these hot strains. The 1970s introduction of the Marek’s disease immunizations for baby chicks kept the poultry industry from collapse, but people soon learned that vaccinated birds were catching “the bug” without subsequently dying. Then, over the last half century, symptoms for Marek’s worsened. Paralysis was more permanent; brains more quickly turned to mush.
“People suspected the vaccine, but the problem was that it was never shown before experimentally,” said virologist Klaus Osterrieder of the Free University of Berlin, who wasn’t involved in the study. “The field has talked about these types of experiments for a very long time, and I’m really glad to see the work finally done.”

The C130 air force transports from Stewart Air Base are flying continuously day and night over my house. I would say about 100 flights per day over the last three or four weeks. Something like 2000 flights. There is no shortage of aviation fuel. What are they bringing to Germany/Poland?
Perhaps NATO exercise “Air Defender 2023”? Could be a cover of course…

Fast Eddy you are right. There is some thing wrong with the Ukraine war. Russia says it knows where all the command and control centers are. It says if you strike Crimea we will destroy ONE command and control center. Why not destroy all the command and control centers now? Not a real war. A play to distract the space aliens?
Russia harasses US killer drones in Syria. Why doesn’t Russia shoot down US killer drones in Syria? More clown world. Eddy what say ye?
I dunno why not… I can’t think of a good reason … same as I can’t think of a good reason why Pooty doesn’t throttle the energy flowing to NATO Europe…

The Russian embassy to Austria said, Russia wants to demonstrate, that they fulfill contracts. The longtime head of OMV Roiss, respnsible for a lot of contracts, have publicly warned that Austria may fall short in one year. I doubt, that it is only a staging.
And they’ve used up all the ammo that NATO has in the warehouses… hahahaha… f789 off and die… that is obviously impossible and ridiculous …
Where’s the ‘Rolling Thunder’… where’s the footage of a totally destroyed Ukraine — surely the scale of the battles would be epic…
Utterly totally absolutely f789ing ridiculous.
This is fake. As fake as the correspondents in full battle gear with the Ukeys going about their daily business in the background.

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/gold-standard-back-brics-intro-gold-backed-reserve-currency
So it is officially announced. So will the West “do something” which the whole world will regret should the West did it?
The big issue with a gold-backed currency is the fact that the amount of gold doesn’t escalate much, and so it is hard to provide enough money for a growing economy. An economy that has level investment tends to decline, because of diminishing returns. Also, population often grows. The amount of goods and services provided needs to rise with population. It is hard to do that with a gold-backed currency.
Maybe this new currency only is used for international trade. If so, it tends to cut it off, over time.
I don’t think the economy can or should grow. A program I could understand would be a gradual removal from an oil economy. (Very simple mind here.) I guess that would mean a a gradual dwindling of a coal economy.
A question (among many related) is whether “we” can return to an early 19th century urban world. Bridges and train stations were being built with cast iron. So were the rather heavy and complicated machines. A very much smaller population that the break in growth would enable would have relatively more land to grow (or harvest) food than now.
Slaves in the Caribbean developed ways to make pure iron from iron scraps.
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/07341512.2023.2220991?fbclid=IwAR0_qsdbalAjgeFnEMmtLEHk39OQLFyWculdjwvHRoz-IlndGRANz89SJCY
Much of the world’s economic system will center in Africa, btw. Lots of space there for all sorts of people.
I agree with Art. The economy will not grow as the energy supplies in Eurasia will not grow. So a gold backed currency should work just fine this time around. I always held that Eurasian integration will be a miserable affair, but not as miserable as NATO decline.
no ”economy” can grow without surplus energy.
in past times, one king might capture another kingdom, and thus enslave that population,
but that is short term, because the ‘surplus” dies out eventually, so ‘growth’ only lasts for about one or two generations.
don’t see how you can make ”pure iron” from iron scraps
you have to have iron available to start with
then cut down trees to make charcoal to process it.–that in itself is self limiting surely?
I don’t expect that we can have any new kind of infrastructure built because of the difficulty in getting enough fossil fuels to produce the infrastructure, including everything that goes with it.
It really is necessary to build up from a small beginning. Once failure starts, it is pretty much impossible to do enough to mimic what was done in the past.
I just hope that the existing infrastructure will not crumble in the coming decades
It won’t if it’s maintained.
Hello Gail, Perhaps that is the underlying motivation. Reduce trade and so reduce oil consumption.
I expect trade will indeed reduce, so maybe that works.
but what happens when that reduction in trade takes away your job and wages Clayton?
1) Clayton grows and defends food
2) Clayton dies
3>) Clayton goes plundering.
A bad guy sticks a knife in Clayton… guts him … then roasts him… while the bad guy waits for Clayton to crisp… he ra>>>pes Claytons grand daughters.
Is that too R Rated – do I need to sugar coat?
Clayton is retired. The owners have no concern for me or other regular people, it’s just business as the movie line goes. Best of luck everyone.
i am retired too—apart from OFW’ing and other mischiefs.
trouble is
our wages still depend on the labour of others
Not only the retirees depend on the work of others including a functioning financial sector but also does oil production. To reduce trade with the aim to reduce oil production will work, of course, but for how long? The state can take over oil production as national and military priority. But when this is done a lot of the national and international supply chains are gone. Of course mechanics and engineer can create the needed spare parts from scratch. I am doubtful about cables, hosepipes and computers. And what about smartphones, pizza service and schools for the oil workers and their families?
Norman, I am sorry, time to stretch your muscles again, get a spade and prepare the ground for beans and potatoes and get some hens.
Prepare for a Super Fent Moment
The value of the gold simply changes as economies grow.
It is a gold backed currency.
The gold itself is not the value but the basic symbol of the value.
Its scarcity is precisely what allows it to be used in that way.
And not for the first time.
It is necessary to change the relativity of the currency to gold to do this.
It is a lot like ancient Rome diluting the amount of gold in their coins, back the empire collapsed.
“Maybe this new currency only is used for international trade.”
The guys from “the Duran” discussed this issue in the following video:

What you will see is, in my view, an example of a sort of Nèmesis (gr. Νέμεσις, lat. Nemĕsis)
Italian medical personnel, who sponsored experimental vaccinations in the past, now, when it comes to adverse events for important people, are being blamed for liability of some other mistake, when in fact these health problems are adverse reactions from double or triple experimental vaccinations.
Here’s the news:
“Fabio Attilio Cairoli, the manager who died on his yacht in Giglio: He had felt ill, but the Hospital had discharged him. Manslaughter investigation opened. The man, 58, head of ‘Igt’ and ‘Global Lottery’, fell ill Saturday night. Also a Shingles diagnosis.”

It happened in the past, in my view, a similar thing with young singer Michele Merlo; his father thinks that doctors could have saved him, rather than realizing the fact that his son had an adverse event from Covid jab.
”Michele Merlo, brain hemorrhage triggered by fulminant leukemia”
”his father: doctors could have saved him”

If the doctors have malpractice insurance, I am sure the malpractice insurers would be unhappy.
At the point I think that for insurers is more convenient admit that it is an adverse event from Covid jab (for which they are not responsible) or say that it is something like fortuitous event
or force majeure, I don’t know the exact definition in English.
I don’t think that they are so stupid to cover health problems which are with high probability caused by the jab.
Wasn’t there a case – in France ? – where the fact that the vaxx taken, and which undoubtedly led to the severe injury/death, was experimental was held by a judge to negate the insurance claim?
Wonderful times , as ever, to be a lawyer!
I would have to side with the judge. Taking part in a medical experiment is not covered by insurance.
I also like Buffet who owns insurance companies who let everyone know damage due to nuclear war is NOT covered.
The good thing about them not covering vax injuries causing death … is that the family is forced to face that apparently … it was the vax.
Hahahahahaha… I can see them now … thrashing about like this

This article about the future of farming and health in the Netherlands is interesting.
“Farmers are warning that if the EU Nitrogen rule will be forced for the ability to grow vegetables and fruit, it will be impossible to continue farming. This year the use of certain crop protection spreads has become restricted in the Netherlands while other countries are allowed to use it. A 40 percent reduction in yield is expected.
The only way out for farmers seems to be to accept the offer by the government to sell their ownings for 120 percent of the value with a restriction not to be allowed to start another farm within the EU area.
A transition to ‘Food is Medicine’ initiatives is a strong promotion for the necessity to eat fully plant-based (vegan), bio-engineered food, lab-grown meat, and novel foods like edible insects. Fresh whole foods from farmers will be replaced by products derived from vertical farming, food grown in laboratories, and innovative Food Hubs.”
https://brownstone.org/articles/the-future-of-traditional-farming-and-healthcare-in-the-netherlands/
Like the fake food hub being set up at Oxford University , Mrs S: they say the aim is to produce food ‘like you brew beer’. The bitch who developed the AZ vaxx is involved, I believe.
That the health of the general population will be even more imperiled, with all profits going to the owners of the patents of the pseudo-food slop, is entirely coincidental. It’s to ‘fed the world’ – of course it!
Alas, I don’t believe this is really only a smokescreen (like EV’s etc) to divert us from the UEP, and they do mean to keep a good many of us ‘alive’, if one can call it that. At least for a time…..
The only question now is: when does the next shoe drop? I would say they can’t move until the various vaxx super-factories are up and running.
Damn the people constructing them, the idiots! Like setting up your own gibbet….
People will not put up with it.
“Despite increasing awareness of the impact of eating red meat, there seems little appetite at present for government intervention to support people to eat less. This is the finding of our new research published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology, and is in contrast to policies targeting healthy diets.
Fewer than half of a sample of the UK public expressed support for any of six policies to reduce meat consumption in the study, conducted with colleagues from the University of Cambridge and Aston University. Banning advertising and increasing the price of meat were the least supported while running a media campaign or adding ecolabels received greater backing.
Similar policies aimed at reducing the consumption of alcohol, tobacco and snack foods were supported by the majority of participants in previous research, suggesting that targeting meat is a particularly sensitive issue.”

Somehow, these folks think that complexity has no energy cost. They are mistaken.
We can understand why the government of Netherlands is having problems.
Dutch government ceased to be last week. Prime minister Rutte is on his way out.
Elections in november will result in a stalemate. Nothing will change, except for the kicking the can further down the road. Like there are no urgent problems to solve #energy #nordstream #winter
The fall of governments are but minor perturbations on the great sunami wave of Collapse….
Most Dutch really haven’t got a clue.
I hope they take matters into their own hands and start growing proper and healthy food… not that supermarket junkfood
Weren’t they among the pioneers of high-density factory farming in Europe?
I knew someone who told me that her mother had almost married a rich Dutch farmer in the early 1960’s, until she saw how atrociously he treated his animals. Married an engineer instead.
Yes – Dutch glasshouse tomatoes taste even worse than UK glasshouse tomatoes.
All the Dutch vegetables and fruit are completely tasteless.
I now get my produce delivered from a local farm. The difference is astonishing.

Already happening in my clinic that I work at. Usual death rate of our chronically ill patients is 4 per year over the past decade. In the past 9 months 18 have died. Hospitalization rates of our once stable chronically ill patients is also going bananas – usually 1 would need to be admitted to hospital approximately each month. Today 5 of them were in hospital. Our clinic is getting very quiet. It has taken this amount of death and sickness for a few staff to start asking questions. Also, never in my 30 year career have I had 4 colleagues lose a parent within the space of a few months.
The body count is slowly but surely increasing.

The video linked to at the end is an Ed Dowd video, talking about how absenteeism and lost work is much worse in 2023 than it was in 2021 and 2022. He believes that people at work are likely functioning at less than 100%, adding more stress to the system.
I almost wonder if the data Ed Dowd is looking at is wrong for some reason. But I suppose people who were working at home for a year plus, who are now forced to come back to the office, could decide to stay home more. They might even be sick more, if their immune system is damaged.
M Fast works in a business with about 40 people… there are multiple people off sick most days.
One of them is very pissed off and blaming the Rat Juice… she regrets taking it and says she seldom used to get sick and now it’s just one illness after another.

This chicken vaccine makes its virus more dangerous
Science Jul 27, 2015 3:01 PM EDT
The deadliest strains of viruses often take care of themselves — they flare up and then die out. This is because they are so good at destroying cells and causing illness that they ultimately kill their host before they have time to spread.
But a chicken virus that represents one of the deadliest germs in history breaks from this conventional wisdom, thanks to an inadvertent effect from a vaccine. Chickens vaccinated against Marek’s disease rarely get sick. But the vaccine does not prevent them from spreading Marek’s to unvaccinated birds.
“With the hottest strains, every unvaccinated bird dies within 10 days. There is no human virus that is that hot. Ebola, for example, doesn’t kill everything in 10 days.”
In fact, rather than stop fowl from spreading the virus, the vaccine allows the disease to spread faster and longer than it normally would, a new study finds. The scientists now believe that this vaccine has helped this chicken virus become uniquely virulent. (Note: it only harms fowl). The study was published on Monday in the journal PLOS Biology.
This is the first time that this virus-boosting phenomenon, known as the imperfect vaccine hypothesis, has been observed experimentally.
The reason this is a problem for Marek’s disease is because the vaccine is “leaky.” A leaky vaccine is one that keeps a microbe from doing serious harm to its host, but doesn’t stop the disease from replicating and spreading to another individual. On the other hand, a “perfect” vaccine is one that sets up lifelong immunity that never wanes and blocks both infection and transmission.
It’s important to note childhood vaccines for polio, measles, mumps, rubella and smallpox aren’t leaky; they are considered “perfect” vaccines. As such, they are in no way in danger of falling prey to this phenomenon.
But the results do raise the questions for some human vaccines that are leaky – such as malaria, and other agricultural vaccines, such as the one being used against avian influenza, or bird flu.
Marek’s disease has plagued the chicken industry, it causes $2 billion in losses annually for fowl farmers across the globe. The virus attacks the brain, spawns tumors in the birds and comes in different varieties or “strains”, which are classified as “hot” or “cold” based on their brutality.

All that is required in Ukraine is to continue to increase the order of magnitude of young fighting age ‘stupid white men’ killing each other until their numbers on each side of the conflict become insignificant on the world stage to statistically or militarily matter.
As an aside ‘War’ is very ‘profitable’ too. Lol
Let’s throw in cluster bombs to both speed up and prolong the process. Wonder how many were mandated to take the rat juiced too to participate or remain in service.
Do you not wish to be entertained, according to your lifelong programming? It’s just a game, so let the games begin! The stage is set.
Let the lead n needles fly, double jeopardy (for the double stupid participants tricked into the arena of war); plus the uranium depleted munitions will finish the job and persist longer than the slain.
If any of those suckers make it back from the ‘kill box’, they’ll be maladjusted, infertile war traumatised drones, It could be called a new ‘Military type Chicago Syndrome’. They’ll be welcomed back hero’s or shamed vanquished foes, just to witness the final ‘transition’ of their once mutually homogenous nations and all they thought they were fighting for.

China Slides to Brink of Deflation, Adding Stimulus Urgency
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-10/china-s-inflation-rate-slows-to-zero-as-economic-woes-mount?srnd=premium-asia
China, with all of its manufacturing, gets deflation when the cost of some of the minerals declines. I haven’t looked at the details. Food costs are likely down too, and I know that housing, which had been used to prop up the economy, is definitely down.
The rest of the world depends on China to pull it forward. It is hard to see how China can keep the world economy going forward.
I have a neighbour who owns a contracting business… I can’t recall specifics but he mentioned that he has had to increase his hourly billing from something like $50 to $85 (it may have been even higher…) primarily because he has had to increase wages.
The thing is … businesses cannot go back to employees and tell them they are going to have to take a pay cut…
Inflation for services is entrenched… and much harder to get under control.
The good thing is — energy production costs are going nowhere but up cuz we have burned up so much of the easy stuff… so there is not escaping our fate.
We hang by our fingernails from the cliff edge…

The cycle of energy and water and the population growth
When we add new energy sources, the growing population hits the limits of drinking water availability and the new sources of drinking water (wells, dams) need to be put into place.
When there are no new energy and drinking water sources, the population growth stops.
well, dam it!
the world population has not stopped growing.
all of a sudden I feel quite thirsty.
The drinking water availability clashes with agriculture: you either deplete the drinking water with increasing the agricultural production, or you pollute it with the increasing use of the fertilizers.
and yet even with massive human pollution, the population has not stopped growing.
maybe in the brutal 2030s.
The population growth is stopping, as now the population growth is driven mainly by the ageing into a higher age, i.e. living in this hell on Earth longer.
This summer’s heat waves in Central Europe are here…
The need for air conditioning, which was not needed before, requires more energy.
Has anyone modelled it more recently?
5-10 years ago peak world population was expected to be 10-11 bn. Modellers thought this would then fall.
summer heat is related to milder winters. the reverse is true, Europe is using less energy.
Even in as warm as area as Atlanta, Georgia, more energy is used to supplement heat in winter than is used for air conditioning in summer. Thus, as shift to warmer winters reduces fuel use, even if summers are warmer.
So far, in this area, we have not had a particularly hot summer. My air conditioning use was down in June, comparing to a year ago.
There are a lot of anchient and scientific ways how to deal with agriculture, humidity, rain and water. Forests can even attract and create rain (they emit a nucleus to condense humidity, they mitigate humidity and temperature), intelligent use of arable land can avoid depletion of nutriciants flushed away, and the right plants can even shape the local climate. A lot depends on our actions and which cause and effect relations we are willing to recognize and put into account.
For those who prefer simple explanations: Glyphosate kills all plants except those with a special genetic equipment taken from a potentially harmful bacteria. As glyphosate kills all plants it cannot be metabolized and removed, so it enriches in soil, water and air. This gives a selection advantage for above mentioned bacteria.
As men believe they are not allowed to use their brains God has given them but must obey to the most superiour elders and their never failing wisdom, I guess they will have to suffer all consequences including their own “reduction” until they are able to understand it. The problem is, those that have understood already are oppressed by the obeyers.
Water is not the problem! But it could be fruitful to think about it.
If glyphosate were unable to be broken down, then no plants would regrow in the soil where it accumulates. That does not seem to be the case. I am not advocating for its use, it is just an observation. I use it occasionally on our farm for bad weed infestations.
My understanding is that it doesn’t break down , but rather gets washed deeper into the soil over time
I asked Sage about this, and Sage gave me the “official facts”. Sage is a bit like HAL. It wouldn’t knowingly spread falsehoods. But it might have been trained on false information.
Glyphosate, the active ingredient in many herbicides including Roundup, breaks down in soil through a process called microbial degradation. Microbial degradation occurs when microorganisms in the soil, such as bacteria and fungi, break down the glyphosate molecule into simpler compounds through a series of enzymatic reactions.
The breakdown of glyphosate in soil involves several different pathways, depending on the specific microorganisms present in the soil and the conditions under which they are operating. One common pathway involves the breakdown of glyphosate into aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) and glyoxylate, which are then further metabolized into simpler compounds such as carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen.
The rate of glyphosate degradation in soil can vary depending on a variety of factors, such as temperature, moisture, soil pH, and the amount of organic matter present in the soil. In general, warmer temperatures and higher levels of soil moisture can accelerate the degradation of glyphosate, while acidic soils and soils with low levels of organic matter may slow down the process.
It’s important to note that while glyphosate can break down in soil, the breakdown products and residues of glyphosate can persist in the environment for some time. The potential impacts of glyphosate and its breakdown products on human health and the environment are an area of ongoing research and debate.
Agriculture, due to its large Earth surface impact, does, in general and primarily, more harm to drinking water than industry.
Field Crop Farmers and Lawyers are the greatest scrouges the earth has ever seen. Extermination of them both would serve humankind well in the long term.

Kunstler is fond of saying every thing in the US is a racket education, medical, war.
Better to wound an enemy than kill because a wounded enemy require care and uses resources.
I discovered with insurance the same principle. Payouts are big for disabilities, but generally much smaller in death case. The person doesn’t need medical care or even to eat any more.
