It has recently become clear to me that heavy oil, which is needed to produce diesel and jet fuel, plays a far more significant role in the world economy than most people understand. We need heavy oil that can be extracted, processed, and transported inexpensively to be able to provide the category of fuels sometimes referred to as Middle Distillates if our modern economy is to continue. A transition to electricity doesn’t work for most heavy equipment that is powered by diesel or jet fuel.
A major concern is that the physics of our self-organizing economy plays an important role in determining what actually happens. Leaders may think that they are in charge, but their power to change the way the overall system works, in the chosen direction, is quite limited. The physics of the system tends to keep oil prices lower than heavy oil producers would prefer. It tends to cause debt bubbles to collapse. It tends to squeeze out “inefficient” uses of oil from the system in ways we wouldn’t expect. In the future, the physics of the system may keep parts of the world economy operating while other inefficient pieces get squeezed out.
In this post, I will try to explain some of the issues with oil limits as they seem to be playing out, particularly as they apply to diesel and jet fuel, the major components of Middle Distillates.
[1] The most serious issue with oil supply is that there seems to be plenty of oil in the ground, but the world economy cannot hold prices up sufficiently high, for long enough, to get this oil out.
As I frequently point out, the world economy is a physics-based system. World oil prices are set by supply and demand. Demand is quite closely tied to what people around the world can afford to pay for food and for transportation services because the use of oil is integral to today’s food production and transportation services.
Heavy oil is especially involved in this affordability issue. As oil becomes “heavier,” it becomes more viscous, and thus more difficult to ship by pipeline. If oil is very heavy, as is the oil from the Oil Sands of Canada, it needs to be mixed with an appropriate diluent to be shipped by pipeline.
Heavy oil often has sulfur and other pollutants mixed in, adding costs to the refining process. Furthermore, heavy oil, especially very heavy oil, often needs to be “cracked” in a refinery to provide a desirable mix of end products, including diesel, jet fuel, and gasoline. This, too, adds costs. Otherwise, there would be too much of the product mix that would be like asphalt. Also, as noted previously, even if the costs of production are high, the selling price of diesel cannot rise very high without raising food prices. This tends to keep the prices of heavy crude oils below those for lighter crude oils.
Many people believe that the high level of “Proved Oil Reserves” worldwide makes it certain that businesses can extract as much oil as they would like in the future. A major issue is whether these reserves mean as much as people assume they do. Oil reserves of OECD countries (an association of the US and other rich countries) are likely to be audited, but reserves of other countries may not be. Asking a relatively poor oil-exporting country the amount of its oil reserves is like asking the country how wealthy it is. We should not be surprised by fibbing on the high side. The problem is that the vast majority of reported oil reserves (85%) are held by non-OECD countries. These reserves may be significantly overstated.
Also, even if the reserves are fairly reported, will the country have the resources to extract these reserves? Venezuela reports the highest oil reserves in the world thanks to its heavy oil in the Orinoco Belt, but it extracts a relatively small amount per year. An October 2022 article says that the country is waiting for foreign investment to expand production.
Going forward, oil companies everywhere need to worry about broken supply lines for necessary items, such as steel drilling pipe. They need to worry about finding enough trained workers. They need to worry about the availability of debt and the interest rate that will be charged for this debt. If private oil companies look at the true prospects and find them too bleak, they will likely use their profits to buy back the shares of their own oil companies instead (as is happening now).
[2] While oil producers can crack heavy oil to make shorter hydrocarbons in a way that is not terribly expensive, trying to make near-gasses and light oils into diesel becomes impossibly expensive.
It is easy for people to assume that any part of the oil mix is substitutable for another part, but this is not true. Cracking long hydrocarbon chains works to make shorter chains, but the economics tend not to work in the other direction. Thus, it is not economically feasible to make gasoline into diesel (which is heavier), or natural gas liquids into diesel.
[3] If there is inadequate oil supply, the impacts on the economy are likely to include broken supply lines, empty shelves, and inflation in the price of goods that are available.
If there is not enough oil to go around, some users must be left out. The result is that some of the less profitable consumers of oil may file for bankruptcy. For example, the Wall Street Journal recently reported Trucking Giant Yellow Shuts Down Operations. This bankruptcy makes it impossible for some stores to get the merchandise that would normally be on their shelves. As a consequence, it makes it likely that some replacement parts for automobiles will not be available when needed. There is a workaround of renting another vehicle while a person’s car is waiting for repairs, but this adds to total costs.
This workaround illustrates how a lack of adequate oil can indirectly lead to higher overall costs, even if the oil itself is not higher-priced. The need to work around supply line problems tends to lead to inflation in the prices of goods that continue to be available.
[4] The fact that the quantity of oil that could be affordably extracted was likely to fall short about now has been known for a very long time, but this fact has been hidden from the public.
In 1957, Hyman Rickover of the US navy predicted that the amount of affordable fossil fuels would fall short between 2000 and 2050, with the amount of oil falling short earlier than coal and natural gas.
The book The Limits to Growth by Donella Meadows and others, published in 1972, discusses the result of early modeling efforts with respect to resource limits. These resource limits were very broadly defined, including minerals such as copper and lithium in addition to fossil fuels. A range of indications were produced, but the base model (based on business as usual) seemed to show limits hitting before 2030 (Figure 1).
Since the resource limits include minerals of all types, these limits would seem to preclude a transition to clean energy and electric cars.
Educators, advertisers, and political leaders could see that discussing the oil problem would cause economic suicide. What would be the point of buying a car, if a person couldn’t use it for very long? Educators felt that students needed to be guided in the direction of hoped-for solutions, no matter how remote they might be, if university programs were to remain open.
Politicians and government officials wanted to keep voters happy, so the self-organizing economy pushed them in the direction of keeping the story from the public. They tended to focus on climate issues instead. They added biofuels to stretch the supply of gasoline, and to a lesser extent, diesel. They also increased the share of natural gas liquids. The selling price of these liquids tends to be quite low, relative to the price of crude oil.
They started providing reports showing “all liquids” rather than “crude oil,” in the hope that people wouldn’t notice the change in mix.
[5] The world’s number one problem today seems to be an inadequate supply of Middle Distillates. These provide diesel and jet fuel.
Diesel and jet fuel provide the big bursts of power that commercial equipment requires. Many types of equipment are dependent on Middle Distillates, including semi-trucks, agricultural equipment, ocean-going ships, jet planes, road-making equipment, school buses, and trains operating in areas with steep inclines.
Because of its concentrated store of energy, diesel is also used to operate backup generators and to provide electricity in remote areas of the world where it would be impractical to have year-round electricity without an easily stored fuel.
In Figure 3:
- Light Distillates are primarily gasoline (78% in 2022).
- Middle Distillates are diesel (82%) and jet fuel/kerosene (18%).
- Fuel Oil is a cheap, polluting, unrefined product. If environmental laws permit, it can be burned as bunker fuel (used in ships), as boiler fuel, or to provide electricity.
- The Other category includes near-gasses such as ethane, propane, and butane (58%). It also includes some very heavy oil used as lubricants, asphalt, or feedstocks for petrochemicals.
Until recently, it has been possible to increase diesel production by refining an added share of Fuel Oil. Fuel oil is quite heavy (barely a liquid), so it is well-suited to be refined into a mix that includes a large share of Middle Distillates.
Now we are running short of Fuel Oil to refine for the purpose of producing more Middle Distillates. The Fuel Oil that is still consumed is used in what I think of as the poorer countries of the world: the non-OECD countries (Figure 4).
Poor countries tend to value “low price” over “prevents pollution.” It is likely to be difficult to get these countries to move away from the use of Fuel Oil.
[6] Countries around the world are now competing for Middle Distillates to maintain the food production, road building, commercial transportation, and construction portions of their economies.
Figure 5 shows that since about 1983, consumption per capita for both Light Distillates and Middle Distillates has been generally slightly growing. Growth in usage tends to be higher for Middle Distillates than Light Distillates. The total quantity consumed is also higher for Middle Distillates.
The dip in consumption per capita in 2020 is much more pronounced for Middle Distillates than Light Distillates. For Middle Distillates, the change from 2018 to 2020 is -16%; the change from 2018 to 2022 is -7%. The corresponding changes for Light Distillates are -11% and -4%.
The difference in patterns in Light Distillates and Middle Distillates is not surprising: Gasoline, the main product of Light Distillates, has been the focus of efficiency changes. It is also possible to dilute gasoline with ethanol, made from corn. Voters in the US are particularly aware of gasoline availability and price, so politicians tend to focus on it.
Diesel and jet fuel, made using Middle Distillates, are less on the minds of voters, but they are probably more important to the economy because people’s jobs depend upon the economy in its current form holding together. Inadequate Middle Distillates leaves empty shelves in stores because of broken supply lines. It also leads to inflation of the type we have recently been experiencing. Indirectly, lack of Middle Distillates can lead to debt bubbles collapsing, and to problems of a different type than inflation.
Up until 2007, Middle Distillate consumption was generally increasing for both OECD countries and non-OECD countries. The Great Recession of 2008-2009 particularly affected OECD countries. European countries found their economies doing less well. For example, less diesel was used to operate tour boats carrying tourists; a larger share of available jobs were low-paid service jobs.
The year 2013 was a turning point of a different type. The consumption of non-OECD countries caught up with that of OECD countries. While non-OECD countries might like to maintain their rapid upward trajectory in the consumption of Middle Distillates, this no longer seems to be possible.
[7] Under the Maximum Power Principle, the physics of the economy pushes the economy toward optimal low-cost solutions, especially as the quantity of Middle Distillates approaches limits.
The economy, like every other ecosystem, operates under the principle of “survival of the best adapted.” In terms of the sale of goods, this means that the lowest-priced goods will tend to win out in a competitive environment, provided that they are of adequate quality and that the makers can earn an adequate profit in making them.
Furthermore, the makers of the goods must earn a high enough profit both for reinvestment and to pay adequate taxes to their governments. Payments of taxes to governments are essential; otherwise governmental collapse would occur due to the growing debt that cannot be repaid.
If inflation becomes a problem, rising interest rates would tend to push governments with large amounts of debt toward collapse because they would become unable even to make interest payments from current income.
In this self-organizing economy, buyers of goods don’t know or care much about the lives of the workers in the system. Optimal low costs of manufacturing in a world market might mean:
- Manufacturers have access to very inexpensive energy sources and use them.
- Pollution control is ignored to the maximum extent possible, without serious harm to the workers.
- Governments provide very little in the way of benefits to citizens, such as health care or pensions, keeping the cost of government low.
- Workers can get along on relatively low salaries because little heating or cooling of homes is needed.
- Workers don’t expect private vehicles, recreational activities, or advanced medical care.
Because the economy favors the lowest cost of profitable production, a person would expect that warm countries that use oil sparingly in their energy mix (India, the Philippines, and Vietnam, for example) would have a competitive edge over other countries in manufacturing.
In general, a person would expect non-OECD countries to outcompete OECD countries, especially if cheap fuel for manufacturing is available. The lack of cheap fuel is increasingly becoming a problem in many parts of the world. Coal used to be cheap, but its price can now spike. Natural gas prices can also spike, especially if natural gas is purchased without a long-term contract. Electricity using wind and solar tends to be high-priced, too, when the cost of transmission is included.
[8] The Maximum Power Principle seems to be pushing the EU away from diesel.
The EU has a serious oil problem. It has essentially no crude oil production of its own. Furthermore, oil production in Europe outside of the EU (mainly the UK and Norway) has been falling since 1999, greatly reducing the possibility of imported oil from this area (Figure 7).
Under these circumstances, members of the EU found that they needed to import nearly all of their oil, and that most of this oil needed to come from outside Europe.
When I look at the data regarding the types of oil the EU has chosen to consume (nearly all imported), I find that it uses an oil mix that is unusually skewed toward Middle Distillates and away from Light Distillates. (Compare Figure 8 with Figure 3).
Part of the reason the EU uses this skewed oil mix is because it has encouraged the use of private passenger cars using diesel through its tax structure. Underlying this tax structure was most likely an understanding that Russia, through its exports of Urals Oil, which is heavy, could provide the EU with the mix of oil products it needed, including extra diesel.
The EU has recently cut off most oil imports from Russia as a way of punishing Russia. This cutoff is being phased in, with most of the impact in 2023 and later. Thus, Figure 8 (which is through 2022) shouldn’t be much affected.
China and India are now buying most of Russia’s exported oil. These countries tend to use the oil more “efficiently” than the EU. In particular, they do more manufacturing than the EU, and they have far fewer private passenger cars per capita than the EU. Furthermore, the EU powers quite a few of its private passenger cars with diesel. If diesel is in short supply, efficiency demands that it should be saved for uses that require it, such as powering heavy equipment.
Because of the efficiency issue, I doubt that the EU will be able to continue importing as high a diesel mix in the future as it has been importing up to now. We know that Saudi Arabia cut back its oil exports by 1 million barrels per day, as of July 1, and this cutback is continuing into August. Russia is also cutting its production by 500,000 barrels a day, effective August 1. If oil prices rise again, I wonder whether the EU will be forced to cut back on its oil imports, essentially because of the Maximum Power Principle.
[9] The substitution of electricity for oil so far has been mostly in the direction of replacing gasoline usage for private passenger automobiles. Substitution of electricity for Middle Distillates would be virtually impossible.
Middle Distillates are largely used for the tough jobs–jobs that require big bursts of power. Electricity and the battery storage required for electricity are not adapted to these tough jobs. The vehicles become too heavy, especially when the big battery packs that would be required are considered. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that battery-powered commercial trucks can cost more than three times the price of diesel-powered trucks, a hurdle much smaller private passenger automobiles don’t face. The wide diversity of types of heavy commercial vehicles would be another huge hurdle in trying to substitute electricity for diesel.
Oil is a mixture of different hydrocarbon lengths. Substitution of electricity for one part of the hydrocarbon mix, namely for the Light Distillates, is not very helpful. Oil companies need to be able to sell all parts of the mix in order to make their extraction efforts worthwhile. If oil companies find themselves without buyers for most Light Distillates, they would have difficulty recouping their overall costs. There would be a possibility of oil production stopping. Without oil, farming would mostly stop. Road repair would stop. Today’s economy would come to a halt.
Of course, as a practical matter, the vast majority of the world will pay no attention to mandates that all private passenger automobiles be EVs. Buyers in most parts of the world will make decisions based on which cars are least expensive to own and operate. As a result, there is little chance of private passenger cars being completely replaced by EVs. Instead, EV mandates in some countries may somewhat reduce the selling price of gasoline worldwide because these drivers are no longer using gasoline. With lower gasoline prices, non-EV’s are likely to become cheaper to operate in countries where they are permitted, boosting their sales. This is an effect similar to Jevons Paradox.
[10] There are many related topics that could be addressed, but they will need to wait until later posts.
A few of samples of other issues:
[a] The world economy is tightly networked together. Inadequate oil supplies per capita tend to push the economy toward forced reduced activity, as was the case in 2020. Oil prices likely won’t rise a whole lot higher, for very long, if the economy is forced to shrink.
[b] Inadequate oil supplies per capita also tend to cause fighting among countries. OECD countries seem to over consume, relative to the benefits they provide to the rest of the world. Perhaps some grouping of non-OECD countries (or parts of countries) will take over in leadership roles.
[c] The self-organizing economy has different priorities than human leaders. All ecosystems in a finite world go through cycles. As conditions change, different species are favored, and new species emerge. Humans have a strong preference for recent conditions that helped humans thrive. Humans need a religion to follow, so leaders have created environmental sin to replace original sin. The catch is that ecosystems are built for change. Pollution can be viewed as a type of fertilizer for different types of species or recent mutations to thrive. Higher temperatures will have a net favorable effect for some organisms.
[d] If a local economy chooses to increase energy costs by taking steps to reduce its carbon footprint, the main impact may be to disadvantage the local economy relative to the world economy. If total energy costs are higher, the cost of finished goods and services is likely to be higher, making the economy less competitive.
[e] I expect that the members of the EU and other rich nations will be the primary countries pursuing carbon reduction technologies. Poorer economies may pay lip service to carbon reduction, but they will tend to focus primarily on increasing the welfare of their own people, whether or not this requires more carbon.
For example, in 2022, China accounted for 66% of global EV sales (5.0 million out of 7.7 million), thanks to subsidies that China made available. China no doubt had many motives, but one of them would seem to be to stimulate the economy. Another motive would be to increase the total number of vehicles in operation. The majority (61%) of electricity generation in China in 2022 was provided by electricity coming from coal-fired power plants, based on information from the Energy Institute. I would expect that more Chinese vehicles manufactured and placed into operation plus more use of electricity from coal would lead to a greater quantity of carbon emissions, rather than a smaller quantity.
How Long Do EV Batteries Last?
With proper care and good habits, an EV’s battery should hold up for a long long time.
BY WILLIAM WATTSPUBLISHED: AUG 18, 2023
If you are contemplating buying your first electric vehicle, you may be wondering how long you can expect the battery to last and how much it will cost to replace.
We’ve been conditioned to ask these questions by our experience with other battery-powered consumer goods. The batteries in our cell phones, laptops and cordless power tools all seem to degrade long before the rest of the device, and the prohibitive cost of replacing the battery encourages us to opt instead for replacing the device entirely.
But a car is the second largest purchase most Americans will ever make, after the homes they live in, making frequent upgrades infeasible. And no one wants to be locked into a years-long loan on an asset that may lose a significant portion of its functionality as soon as–or before–it’s paid off. Unlike cell phones, cars are also expected to retain some value after their first owner moves on, and to live for decades with second, third or fourth owners.
The good news for prospective EV buyers is threefold. First, in contrast with most consumer electronics makers, automakers have a vested interest in ensuring battery life. The average EV battery should outlast not just its warranty but also the rest of the car. Second, there is a lot you can do as an EV owner to protect the health of your battery. Third, the resilience of a well cared-for lithium battery gives you real options after your warranty runs out.
Although EVs are still relatively new and the battery repair and resale markets are still fledgling, you can bet that the surge in EVs and EV mandates will feed a significant servicing and recycling economy. That means falling battery prices, cost-effective repair alternatives, and your ability to recoup some resale value after your years of good battery hygiene.
EV Battery Warranties and Durability
EVs sold in the United States typically come with battery warranties that cover the first eight years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. The fine print varies, but generally for the covered time period, the warranty guarantees retention of at least 70 percent of original battery capacity.
Automakers have instituted these requirements even though, contrary to popular misinformation (see here, here, here and here), EV battery durability warranties aren’t yet mandated by either federal or California law—the EPA’s battery durability rule isn’t quite final and won’t apply to EVs until model year 2027, and California’s new Advanced Clean Cars II regulations instituting an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty minimum (similar to the state’s long-existing 10-year/150,000 battery warranty requirement for hybrids) start at model year 2026.
To put all this into perspective, the standard powertrain warranty on a new internal-combustion engine (ICE) vehicle–covering all the vital components that get the wheels turning, from the engine and transmission to the driveshaft and differentials–is only about five years or 60,000 miles.
Considering the battery represents 30 to 40 percent of the production cost of an EV, you can be sure manufacturers are careful to design batteries to last at least that long.
OR Eight years ….my car is 10 years old and only has 55,000 miles on it..
I can the fluids often and expect it to last another 10 years or until they stop selling gasoline at the pump…
Latest is EVs cost same or more to refill charge as an ICE engine..
It’s a scam….never mind the time and anxiety of always watching the bar
Better to own an electric scooter…
I bet cities make scooters and ebikes free some day. My city has them everywhere, but nobody hardly uses them. And are expensive. Like 9 bucks an hour to rent.
I thought I once read about a city in Australia they are free. Not sure.
What amazes me is that these companies have been able to raise so many Bills… they are a disaster…
I suppose MOREONS with Money believe they are the future… hint: they ain’t
My experience with Toyota Camry is 107K miles and dead, seems to be about 10 years per memory, your mileage may vary.

Scotty Kilmer I believe Corolla the best model…have a coworker with a Corolla with 450,000 miles on it and still solid.
Mostly original …
The write up sounds like it was written by someone selling EVs.
If you have a hybrid, and the extra battery wears out, you can still drive the car without the battery. This is a big plus.
A big issue is limited battery material in the world. Everything I have seen says that it makes a lot more sense to use the limited battery material that seems to be available in hybrid cars, rather than in plug-in EVs. The saving in oil, relative the available battery material, is greater.
The EVs depend upon having charging stations set up, and greater electricity generation to power these stations. This is especially the case when buyers live in apartment buildings. I don’t see this happening. In nearly all (or all) OPEC countries, electricity generation has been flat or falling for years–certainly on a per capita basis. All of the generation capacity is going to the “power” countries of the world–the non-OECD countries.

EVS are for MOREONS https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/family-ditches-electric-truck-on-drive-from-winnipeg-to-chicago-after-charging-troubles/ar-AA1f4ZFe
The thing is … the MOREONS never think to search for the negatives before they buy one of these contraptions… and then they get wacked with huge unexpected costs.
Trusting cnnbbc is what defines a MOREON… they end up paying the price…
It is difficult to believe a charging network (a) will ever be built and (b) have enough electricity available to do the charging people expect.
Wind and solar are not adding much, other than headaches. People are being fed a wishful thinking story.
“If you have a hybrid, and the extra battery wears out, you can still drive the car without the battery. This is a big plus..”
Nope, not in my case, stopped and I use Toyota service on a regular basis.
New one, 2022 gets 50+mpg, old 2007 33+mpg, they did something right.
Dennis L.
If EVs do not sell as many units at forecast, then that means secondary servicing and recycling industries may not be able to ramp up sufficiently to make them profitable through economies of scale.
don’t have a fender bender or you may have to replace the whole battery. I predict that the whole ev racket will fall apart within 5 years. Insurance will be the killer.
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas emitted from both natural and human-caused sources.
https://www.space.com/climate-change-termination-event-end-ice-age
A dramatic spike in atmospheric methane over the past 16 years may be a sign that Earth’s climate could flip within decades, scientists have warned.
Large amounts of methane wafting from tropical wetlands into Earth’s atmosphere could trigger warming similar to the “termination” events that ended ice ages, replacing frosty expanses of tundra with tropical savanna, a new study finds. Researchers first detected a strange peak in methane emissions in 2006, but until now, it was unclear where the gas was leaking from and if it constituted a novel trend.
“A termination is a major reorganization of the Earth’s climate system,” study lead author Euan Nisbet, a professor emeritus of Earth sciences at Royal Holloway, University of London, told Live Science. “These repeated changes have taken the world from ice ages into the sort of interglacial we have now.”
…….Human emissions soared in the 1980s with the expansion of the natural gas industry and stabilized in the 1990s, Nisbet said.
But in late 2006, something “very, very odd” happened, he said. Methane started rising again, but there was no dramatic shift in human activity to blame — and researchers were left scratching their heads. Then, in 2013, Nisbet and his colleagues realized this rise was accelerating. By 2020, methane was increasing at the fastest rate on record, he said.
“It looks as if there’s a big, new methane source turning on,” Nisbet said.
A flurry of studies since 2019 has linked the strange spike to soaring emissions from tropical wetlands, predominantly in Africa. A “significant change” in tropical weather ascribed to human-caused climate change has led wetlands to get bigger and more plants to grow there, thus leading to more decomposition — a process that produces methane, Nisbet said.
In the new study, published July 14 in the journal Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Nisbet and colleagues compared current trends in atmospheric methane to the abrupt phase of warming during ice age terminations.
“The closest analogy we have to what we think is happening today is these terminations,” Nisbet said
Yes, we are in a terminal state of Hospice care…
Methane is part of the solar system, Uranus and Neptune are full of it, albeit some what colder than earth.
We learn to live with it and move all manufacturing to space, moon, whatever; it is not worth the risk.
Dennis L.
Of course, NASA is on it with the Artemis project….
Should be in place in a few decades or so….
There seem to be a lot of theories out there.
We seem to behind schedule to get back to an ice age. How does that factor in?

Maui, WTF is going on?
I don’t think this is a fair analysis. (I didn’t listen to all of it, however.)
The fellow in charge of setting off the siren said that it was part of a system to warn about tsunamis. FEMA and others were far more interested in that kind of disaster than a fire. The written material that went with it said that the people were to head for the hills, to avoid a tsunami, if the siren went off. But that is where the fire was.
The written material also said to turn on radios or TVs, to find out more about what was happening. Turning off the electricity would have cut off people from finding out what little was known about what what going on.
There was also the issue that authorities said that if they shut off the electricity, they would shut off pumps needed to transfer the water to where it needed to be. Firefighters would have had an even worse time trying to put out the blazes, without the electricity.
I think that a big issue was “not enough money (or resources) to do everything.” Also, too much non-native grass that easily went up in flames. And too much spending on wind and solar, without a focus on the real problems in Maui. Wind and solar add more electricity transmission, which is a major source of wild fires, so it is going in the wrong direction.
Putting transmission underground can prevent wildfires, but doing so is horribly expensive.
But don’t they have that system where they send a Eeee Awwww message across the mobile phone network when there is an ’emergency’
I remember being in Canada 5 yrs ago — and a kid was abducted — and every mobile phone in Ontario went EEEeee Awwwww at 2 in the morning — to alert everyone to this missing kid … as if the world depended on finding the little brat…
Here in NZ they test the thing every 6 months… I have worked out how to turn those alerts off.
Apparently they did send some messages out in Maui.
I have a neighbor who was over there during the fire, helping with her grandchildren. Since she got back, I have only conversed with her by text message. She and her husband seem to have the family of five from Maui staying with them. When I am able to talk to her in person, I will find out what their experience was. I understand that some cell service was out and some electricity service was out. It may have been different for different parts of the city.

IgG4, on the other hand, responds to allergens. If you get stung by a bee for example, your body might react with IgG3 or other antibodies and cause you to have an allergic reaction. To avoid this, your body learns how to recognise relatively insignificant foreign objects by switching to IgG4. Instead of increased inflammation to fight the foreign object, your immune system recognises that this is nothing major. Long term exposure, for example in bee keepers, produces this response. Immunotherapy also works this way by training your body with the foreign object you are allergic to until it is trained to produce an IgG4 response.

This article is by Dan Sirotkin, who was serving time in prison at the time some of the first Covid things came out. His father Karl would make copies of academic articles and send the to him. Karl was involved with this enough to under stand what was going on, as well. The two of them put together the peer reviewed article which is linked to at the beginning of the linked article.
Dan seems to be as concerned as Geert Vanden Bossche about the long term outcome of the virus that causes covid. He says “live-attenuated vaccines that have the propensity to revert back to invincible highly-pathogenic chimeras that blow through vaccine-induced and natural immunity alike.” This is very close to what Vern says above.

Celia Farber was writing on her Substack today about the Karen Kingston affair and she noticed how some people, who should know better, don’t always report other people’s words accurately.
I think the following is very observant of her, and very good advice for all of us.
The difference between light and dark, good and evil, runs between words, rests upon words—sometimes one.
Stick close to people who are able to reproduce to the letter what a person said, without bending it to their own view of the world. Conversely, avoid people who don’t take listening and hearing seriously.
As aside:
Listen to what Warren Buffet, shaped like a Beatrice Potter toad but with none of the charm, had to say, about “mankind” and our future.
The enemy’s use of language is always diseased—opaque, cloudy, worrying, incoherent, royal, and frankly stupid.
Judge people by their listening skills, as well as their re-quoting skills—there will be icebergs of distortion in the ocean crossing ahead.

Major ‘Population Correction’ Coming For Humanity, Scientist Predicts
Today, there are around 8 billion people on the planet.
That sort of growth is unsustainable for our ecosphere, risking a ‘population correction’ that according to a new study could occur before the century is out.
The prediction is the work of population ecologist William Rees from the University of British Columbia in Canada. He argues that we’re using up Earth’s resources at an unsustainable rate, and that our natural tendencies as humans make it difficult for us to correct this “advanced ecological overshoot”.
The result could be some kind of civilizational collapse that ‘corrects’ the world’s population, Rees says – one that could happen before the end of the century in a worst case scenario. Only the richest and most resilient societies would be left.
“Homo sapiens has evolved to reproduce exponentially, expand geographically, and consume all available resources,” Rees writes in his published paper.
What’s more, our proposed solutions, such as switching to renewables don’t actually address the problem of exponential population growth and in fact further contribute to the excess consumption that goes along with it.
https://www.sciencealert.com/major-population-correction-coming-for-humanity-scientist-predicts
Here the paper
https://www.mdpi.com/2673-4060/4/3/32
From the paper;
Why Is Nobody Listening?
In light of the cascading hard evidence, it seems fair to ask why the mainstream media do not report on, and most ordinary people have never heard of, overshoot. Much of the reason may be simple denial, but part of the problem may well reside in cognitive incompetence. H. sapiens evolved in simpler, more slowly-changing times that posed relatively limited challenges to the evolving central nervous system. We operate with what are still essentially Palaeolithic brains: modern humans are painfully short-sighted [26], tend to think in terms of immediate cause−effect relationships and respond to problems in simplistic, reductionist ways (think ‘dematerialization’). This cognitive mode was adequate in pre-agricultural times. However, in recent centuries, cultural evolution (e.g., the emergence of multi-layered cultures, global institutions, and near-magical technologies) has outpaced bio-evolution [27,28]. Our brains are arguably ill-adapted to the pace of change and compounding complexities of the human-made Anthropocene—we have rendered ourselves cognitively obsolete [29].
Perhaps the most obvious example is the global fixation on climate change as the existential threat facing civilization. The media may be temporarily side-tracked by the recent pandemic, regional famines, the growing refugee crisis, or the Russo−Ukraine war, but the focus is still on one isolated issue at a time. Rarely do the media, even serious analysts, and certainly not most politicians, connect the dots to see these issues as springing from a common root in overshoot.
Even the term poly-crisis (many parallel related problems) does not quite cut it. MTI peoples simply do not ‘get’ complexity; nor do they comprehend the lags, thresholds, and unpredictably discontinuous behaviours of overlapping complex systems under stress from overshoot [30]. This is crucially important if only because, while no major symptom of overshoot can be adequately addressed in isolation from the others, addressing overshoot directly would reduce all important symptoms simultaneously.
And then there’s aberrant mouse utopia type behavior as a result of overpopulation. The world has gone mad. Or back to the line in the song by the Doors, featured in the film Apocalypse Now, and cited recently by FE but overlooked.
“ And all the children are insane.”
But if you point this out to others in the general population the attitude is it applies to others and not themselves. What I hear most times are remarks like …there is still plenty of room ….or as long as you can afford to raise them …famous men like Mick Jagger, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino are role models ..
Doubt population control will ever be effective …at least not in a managed intentional method like UEP

“The Great Global Warming Swindle” caused controversy in the UK when it premiered March 8, 2007 on British Channel 4. A documentary, by British television producer Martin Durkin, which argues against the virtually unchallenged consensus that global warming is man-made. A statement from the makers of this film asserts that the scientific theory of anthropogenic global warming could very well be “the biggest scam of modern times.” According to Martin Durkin the chief cause of climate change is not human activity but changes in radiation from the sun.

US National Debt Surges $116,000,000,000 in August As Heritage Foundation Warns America Risks Reaching Point of No Return

Debt is downgraded because the borrower is waving red flags. In the case of the U.S., we have over $32 trillion in debt and are currently adding trillions per year. Total annual interest payments alone on that much debt costs us about $1 trillion—more than the entire Defense budget—and spending keeps growing. That is a recipe for insolvency and eventual default.”
Congress and the White House need to immediately get their financial house in order. If they don’t, we’ll be right back on the inflation roller coaster with more hidden defaults on U.S. debt.
That will mean even higher yields, which leads to higher interest payments, which means even faster growing debt, and so on—a veritable death spiral. Time is running out before we reach the point of no return.”
We already past that point so e time ago and waiting for the fan to do it’s job

The Amboy Dukes was an American rock music band of the late 1960s and early 1970s from Detroit, Michigan, best remembered for their one hit single “Journey to the Center of the Mind.” The band went through a number of personnel changes during its active years, the only constant being lead guitarist Ted Nugent. Bassist Greg Arama died in 1979. The group contributed to the foundations of heavy metal and progressive rock.

Increasing the population density always leads to conflict and war.
If heaven exists, it does not look like a place where the people are forced to adapt to such threat of scarcity.
The mass shootings are nothing else than the reaction to high population density.
A lot of people needs to be eliminated and the best way is via transmissible diseases, which reduces the number of unfit individuals who live in the high density population conditions.
so far that “best way” is not working.
I predict world depop beginning in 2024, probably due to slightly higher death rates and slightly lower birth rates.
due to the 4 Horsemen:
disease, famine, war, and vaccines.
I agree.
What shooting are we talking about?
Where weapons are easily available, like in the USA, such things happen often.
But that is not natural selection, natural selection is disease resistance
Rwandans didn’t need very sophisticated weaponry…
When you own a weapon, but you live in a high population density area, your weapon is useless vis-a-vis the nature.
When you have a weapon, you can kill the disease in you only through suicide.
That way, having a lot of cheap energy and having a high population density means no safety against transmissible diseases.
The mass shooters usually commit suicide after a mass shooting, as their act is against the laws of the wild nature.

Well, that would not be hard if one compared the risks vs benefits of “traditional” care to this cheap, drug.
Trust in my opinion has always been based on three common tents:
1. If I say I can do it, I am competent to do it.
2. If I can do it I will do it to the best of my ability regardless.
3. If I cannot do it, I will not lie and say I can, when in doubt, refer it out.
As a nation, my country US, is in danger of losing the trust of the world; this is no small thing. Make too many bad decisions regardless of 1,2,or 3 and people walk away, they cancel you.
The Covid fiasco was not good for my nation and that will have consequences.
There is an upcoming meeting regarding BRICS and finance. Exchange of currency is not that big a deal anymore with the internet, connectivity and modern programs. The programs will make transparent many transactions and will cause trust to be evaluated in a different light. If BRICS works, we in the US will have to face a changed world.
The US had a narrative regarding its military and weapon systems; they have been tried in battle against a strong adversary. It appears as though the outcome will not be welcome to the “West.” One, two, three or a combination of all three?
I posted regarding “kids” not wanting to die for the old men. Perhaps the “old men” have lost trust by their offspring. Or, what if they have few or no offspring? Fabric of the universe had a saying, “blood is thicker than water.”
Bumpy road ahead. Starship continues, launch upcoming, hope. It’s always 80/20, wish they wouldn’t round up 19.1 to 20, too damn close.

I read another study like that, from Thailand, I think. The conclusion stated something like “no difference in clinical endpoint was observed” … but the clinical endpoint they were testing was hospitalization. However, 70% fewer people died after being hospitalized and they somehow didn’t mention it, because it wasn’t the “endpoint” being measured. Totally ridiculous. The data was right there in the table.
I am afraid ‘”trust” is what is going away.
I think the BRICS plan will take time. No immediate change this next week.

They talk about this in “The Dangerous Mind of Donald Trump,” in how all it took for good people in those camps (doctors, guards, the people in the war machine that would never have willingly taken the positions in those camps, but ESPECIALLY the doctors) to go along with the amoral lot was some alcohol and/or long conversations to make their job of persecution seem right. Not something they’re doing, but a service to country, so don’t think about it.
And it doesn’t take as much alcohol, if any at all, when what you’re doing is telling fibs (knowingly or unknowingly) instead of murdering people. Just a couple pats on the hand and some blanket statements about how, “it’s a good thing in the long run,” and to “not worry about it, just do your job,” but especially “you do this for me, and I’ll take care of you handsomely!”

“The vice-chairman of the Council for the Development of the Digital Economy under the Federation Council, Senator Artem Sheikin, said that Russian schoolchildren from September 1 will begin to learn the basics of using UAVs.”

Russian Lancet kamikaze drones wreak havoc in the ranks of the Ukrainian Army! -Russia throws Army of 25,000 UAV operators into battle (video)
Russia is preparing a total strike force of 180,000 drone operators!
In a decision which is expected to radically change the course of the Ukrainian – and any other war – the Russian military leadership took. According to information, Russia is preparing an army of drone operators which will amount to hundreds of thousands!
In fact, the Russian military leadership is preparing the first Army of 25,000 drone operators! By 2030 this number will jump to 180,000 and with them hundreds of thousands of drones of all categories will be produced!
According to the Russians the Geran-2 (Shahed-136), Lancet and FPV have changed the course of the Ukrainian war. Special mention is made, as you will read, of the Russian Lancet drones which have proven to be extremely effective.
“The Lancets have emerged as a leading anti-artillery system,” say Russian military sources.
Ukrainians are already facing serious problems. According to a high-ranking Ukrainian officer, at night, the flight of Russian drones is detected exclusively by a characteristic sound, without visual contact, which makes it very difficult to impossible to destroy them.
Army of thousands of Russian drone operators!
More specifically, after the start of the Russian “military special operation”, there was a severe shortage of personnel (operators and miscellaneous personnel) in the field of unmanned aircraft in the Russian Federation.
The press service of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science told RIA Novosti that this issue will be resolved thanks to the training of specialists at various higher educational institutions.
Students will be taught not only to pilot (control) UAVs, but train a large number of designers, engineers and production personnel.
The department specified that tens of thousands of Russians will receive the required training in this area.
By 2025, 25,000 students will receive appropriate education, and in 2030 there will be about 180,000 of them.
The vice-chairman of the Council for the Development of the Digital Economy under the Federation Council, Senator Artem Sheikin, said that Russian schoolchildren from September 1 will begin to learn the basics of using UAVs.
In the Russian Federation, a unified educational space for the training of specialists has already been formed.
It should be noted that a week ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin during the Forum of Future Technologies “Information and communication. Quantum World” demanded that the national plan for the development of unmanned aerial systems be approved before September 1 and also that this sector be made a priority in the budget for 2024 and the planning period until 2026.
In June, the Russian government approved a strategy for the development of unmanned aircraft in the Russian Federation until 2030.
According to the document, in the next 6.5 years, a whole economic complex should be created in the Russian Federation related to the creation and operation of various civilian UAVs.
The Lancet reaps Ukrainian targets!
According to Russian media, Russian kamikaze drones of the Lancet family have acquired the nickname “worker bees” of the Russian Armed Forces.
The Lancets continue to methodically destroy the artillery and other weapons systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In addition, the frequency of use of these stray munitions by units of the Russian troops is steadily increasing.
Russian military sources are constantly releasing videos of the use of Lancets.
The first video shows the detonation of a camouflaged Italian FH70 155mm howitzer.
The second video shows the destruction of the American M109 155 mm self-propelled guns.
The third video shows the process of destroying a 155 mm M777 along with the ammunition depot in a forest plantation.
I don’t quite believe this. 25,000, maybe. 180,000 sounds like way more than the number of drones to operate.
Large numbers of drones are likely the future of war, and if war is widespread, the future of humanity is underground.
Underground is away from temperature extremes. There may be a reason for underground living.

Not all soldiers are on the front all the time. Let’s say half.
In the past all soldiers had rifles. Now all will have drones. Some flying, some on wheels, some on treads, some water surface, some sub-surface. Why have a human walk to the front and stand up and point a rifle and pull the trigger. Better have them sit in a concrete bunker and control a drone that advances, aims a gun, and pulls the trigger. Or, fires a small missile, or a flame thrower, or grenade.
The US uses humans in Las Vegas to control their drones in Pakistan bombing weddings. The signals transmitted by satellite.
Will the Russians be able to move the controllers 1000 miles away from the front. Say by using relay planes? They can use land lines but they can be bombed by the enemy. Better use a multi-pathway network i.e. the internet.
Can Russia and China use the internet to control drones in LA, DC, and NYC? Like those web sites with camera that let users point the camera?
I think I would title this article, Offshore Wind Is Having Huge Problems.
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/uk-annual-renewable-energy-auction-may-go-no-bid-offshore-wind-power
For the first time since the UK’s annual renewable energy auction began almost 10 years ago, the system for awarding subsidies is seeing no developers bid for offshore wind power this year as a result of rising costs, according to a new report by Bloomberg. . .
The results of the auction will be announced next month, but Bloomberg writes that “the funding on offer this year may be too little to attract any bidders”. . .
The winner of last year’s auction, Vattenfall AB, has shelved a project for a 1.4 gigawatt UK wind farm claiming that “the development is no longer viable after costs for the technology soared 40%”. They would have provided power to 1.5 million UK homes, the report says. . .
the issue we laid out was that offshore wind currently costs about two to five times more than onshore wind. . .
This month has seen a disastrous number of canceled and abandoned offshore wind deals which “erased billions of US dollars in planned spending” in the final week of July alone, according to Fortune. Spanish utility Iberdrola SA agreed to pay $48.9m in fines to cancel a wind power contract off the coast of Massachusetts. In Rhode Island, Danish developer Orsted A/S’s bid to produce offshore wind power was rejected due to rising operational and development costs.
The article points back to an earlier Oil Price article:
https://oilprice.com/Alternative-Energy/Wind-Power/There-Is-A-Financial-Crisis-Brewing-In-Offshore-Wind-Energy.html
Salt water is very corrosive.
and if you have ever visited a wind mill plant, the mills need a lot of service. I visited one in 2008, and figured within an hour that this would never work.
One person I talked to in the wind industry told me, “These wind turbines run on replacement parts.”
& then there’s getting up in one of those towers, & doing heavy repairs …
In the wind, no less.
This is a major problem, I understand.
Like the Golden Gate Bridge — they continually re-paint it with corrosion-resistant paint, to stand up to the wind off the sea.
yes but the symbolism is POWERFUL … the MORE-ONS drive past a wind farm and see these majestic giants with their gently turning blades and they see ‘the future’…
Look how clean! How Silent!
And they continue to report to work — to school – to invest… cuz the future is wonderful… eternal prosperity…

World wheat exports by country, 2021:
https://oec.world/en/profile/hs/wheat?yearSelector1=2021
Ukraine was almost 10%. With fertilizer access reduced globally and Ukraine’s exports diminished, this year’s harvest is going to be reduced. I guess that will kick in to food pricing next year? I’m not really sure how much 2022 exports were already reduced on account of the war, but I’m guessing less than this year, because the scale of the war increased only gradually and now Odessa is blocked.
As last year there are mitigating circumstances. Russia has produced a big crop for a second consecutive year. So Russia’s exports will increase some.

I’m looking at a national satellite-based fire mapping service and most look sort of as you would expect, randomly spaced fires in a given area:
https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/wildfire/#@=-121.007,48.014,14
But a few have very clear array patterns to the fire locations:
https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/wildfire/#@=-119.978,49.035,12
https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/wildfire/#@=-117.731,47.547,12
I am wondering whether the even spacing is an artifact of the location-tracking by the satellite. The tin-foil-hat explanation is that these are being set with space-based assets, like Keith’s space-energy, but for less noble purposes.
Interesting. But wouldn’t the US be better off burning the russian taiga?
Assuming it’s not an imaging artifact, it could be blowback/retaliation or it could be intentionally self-inflicted. A lot of the US events appear to me as self-harm.
Definitely the US is self harming. But not intentionally I think. It is just a bunch of Harvard brats with no idea about life taking wrong turns. It is possible that it is an imaging artifact, in that if there is only one fire in a pixel it is placed at the center of the pixel (creating the lattice effect you noted).
Dryer areas? Or areas serviced by electric power lines?
The areas I posted do not have power lines and I don’t know why dryer areas would be arranged as rectangular arrays in the forest.
The rectangular spacing of the fires is shifting towards random arrangement over the same area, presumably as the fire moves. There is still some grid visibility in this one, but it is falling:

this is potential evidence in favor of organized arson.
Yes, although now with drones, even just one person could do a lot of damage with low risk of getting caught.
You had me thinking. If I wanted to start fires on a grid a directed energy weapon (a microwave beam) from a satellite would be ideal. You can not do it with a car in a mountainous area because roads twist and turn.
But I wonder if it is really possible. The weapon needs to point to a spot for long enough that the spot catches fire. with satellites moving at 8 km/sec you may be limited to one fire per pass. A drone dropping capsules that catch fire on impact is probably best, but I doubt it has the 100% efficiency apparent in those grids.

Norman correctly points out that Anthony Fauci doesn’t have a TV show.
Although he has had a lot of cameo rolls in other people’s shows.
More interestingly, he has a very informative and not at all hagiographic book about him, The Real Anthony Fauci by Robert F. Kennedy Jnr., and there’s also a movie of the book.
This video is nearly two hours long and it’s about much more than Fauci, although he is one of the stars, of course. It’s a historical record of what has gone on a what has gone wrong in medical treatment as well as in larger society, particularly in the US, and this is because Fauci and RFK are both Americans.
This video is free to watch for a limited period. I think this link will be good for another five days or so.
https://rumble.com/v373ihr-rfk-jr.-anthony-fauci-nih.-fda-cdc-covid-pandemic-mrna-depopulation-who-fra.html
Ive already quoted some RFK jr waffle a while ago
I dont need to regurgitate that
I hope you enjoy the movie, Norman. One of the main targets of of your bile, Dr. Sherri Tenpenny is in there at 54 minutes talking eruditely about what mRNA does in the body. Mike Yeadon, Bob Malone, Pierre Kory, and Mark “Krispy” Miller and Dr. Mercola also make appearances. Tiffany Dover takes a fall, as do dozens of athletes on the field.
And Kary Mullis, the Nobel Prize-winning inventor of the polymerase chain reaction (BCR) technique, tells use precisely what he thinks of Fauci, and it isn’t pretty.
But in my opinion, the biggest star of this movie is Cynthia Farber, who takes a detailed look at Dr. Fauci’s history going all the way back to the AIDS pandemic, when apparently he orchestrated essentially the same game plan as he did later for COVID, of promoting the idea a novel deadly disease with a scary acronym, rubbishing any effective treatments for the condition that were not patentable, then repurposing a failed failed cancer drug that was highly toxic and recommending that be given to people who tested positive under a sham PCR test and were otherwise healthy and symptomless, and in many cases forcing parents to medicate their young and healthy “HIV positive” children to death.
Celia, RFK Jnr. and others also point out that besides being the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for 38 years, Fauci was allowed to own patents on many of the drugs that his agency recommended and in some cases mandated, which raises serious conflict of interest questions.
Fauci also seems to have been partly responsible for funding “gain of function” research abroad, following Obama’s ban on conducting such research in the US, that may have lead to the release of this “novel coronavirus” (or not, as there may be no such virus) that has led you to play Russian roulette with your immune system five times so far. But perhaps you lucked out and got the saline, while Bamba and Parky got live rounds?
You don’t seem to know any of this stuff about Fauci and about the history of medical and pharmacological malfeasance and chicanery, presumably because you are willfully ignorant and proud of it. But nows your chance to grab a bag of chips and a pint of Newcastle Brown Ale and enjoy the movie while tending to your sadly neglected education.
And Kary Mullis, the Nobel Prize-winning inventor of the polymerase chain reaction (BCR) technique, tells use precisely what he thinks of Fauci, and it isn’t pretty.
Did he not get the death penalty for it, shortly before covidmania was launched?
bile on tenpenny~`?
she advertised metal sticking to her skin
somebody dusted her skin with flour
no more stickies
tim—the woman is a charlatan—thats not my opinion—i just repost stuff from other sources—tenpennys record is available for everyone to look at
your desperate need to de-tarnish her reputation says it all about you—revocation of her license was the decision of the state med board
if you think i was responsible, or if i’m making it up for some reason—please say so.
very odd
I take it this is your definition of mudslinging?—You thing tenpenny is a medical wonderwoman–i merely point out evidence to the contrary.
Doubtless, a lot of the videos or anecdotes shared online showing metallic objects sticking to injection sites were due factors unrelated to the shots, such as sweat, adhesives, or static electricity.
But for all we know, sweat, adhesives, or static electricity may have been in some of the shots. Do you know what was in the vials you allowed yourself to be shot up with?
As for Dr. Tenpenny’s claims, I haven’t studied them. BUT, and this is a BIG BUT, you have just claimed above that “she advertised metal sticking to her skin”.
Since Dr. Tenpenny is a notorious hardcore anti-vaxer who would never willingly take a COVID-19 shot if her life depended on it, she could not possibly have claimed that the stuff in the shots was making metallic objects stick to HER arm.
So I respectfully suggest that you’ve misrepresented whatever it was she actually claimed.
Do you have a link to what she actually said, or to a video of what she actually said? If you could share that, and if it bothers you what she said, we could talk about it and I could tell you whether I think she was correct or not to claim what she claimed. Not that you are interested in what I think of anything.
As for the “charlatan” claim, that’s quite a slur.
I wouldn’t call a doctor a charlatan just because they made certain claims about metallic objects sticking to people’s skin that I thought were false. Once you start off down that road, almost every practicing GP could be outed as a charlatan because they push statins and antidepressants on their unsuspecting patients and often make them more ill in the process.
So if I was going to use that pejorative at all, I would save it for the really serious cases of people who cheat on the world, such as Anthony Fauci, a man who by some accounts has the deaths of millions of people on his hands, or even if he hasn’t, has certainly demonstrated himself to be a very slippery character.
I know you are a bit of a Fauci fanboy, but JFK Jnr. wrote a big book about Fauci’s MO that has totally trashed his reputation as a decent human being and that book has become a best-seller.
So if it is inaccurate and contains libelous statements, Fauci would have good cause to sue Kennedy for tarnishing his reputation. But Fauci, interestingly, has been surprisingly meek and mild.
And Kary Mullis, the inventor of the PCR test, also famously said that “Fauci’s a fraud, a charlatan at best.”
I’m not sure which is the more effective healer, but If I was ill, I know I would much rather be treated by Dr.Tenpenny than by Dr. Fauci.
Norman, you are a serious offender at getting your facts garbled, and you seem totally unbothered by that. Even when caught out and corrected, you don’t apologize. The best you can manage is a grudging admission coupled with a statement that the details don’t matter. It’s all a bit of a shambles, isn’t it, Norman? Your facts just aren’t very reliable.
More perhaps to the point, a healthy society that is sticking to the values it declares will openly debate whatever claims about these drugs. Instead it started early with suppression of info about vit. D and/or ivermectin and/or hydroxychloroquine, medical careers ruined and scientists dragged to court, heads of state dying, millions threatened with job losses.
And all this to defend a vaccine which is clearly correlated with an uptick in mortality in all developed countries, starting exactly at the time when the mass vaccination started. Norman seems to be OK with this, which is why I try to interact with him.
“not to interact with him”
I wonder how many people this information will actually reach. The view will be, “This is too strange to believe.”

How did the moon buggy fit inside the early spaceship going to the moon?
It’s science: George Jetson folds up a flying car so a moon buggy is easier.
It’s even easier for Felix the cat.
The diagram here is not very convincing; a video would help.

See mars rover that moved at 4.2 centimeters per second.
Hahaha…. amazing how they go from unfolding it in a rendering but don’t show how it got to be in it’s final state…
Kinda like the UKEY war… almost no vids of the fighting… Styrofoam War …
Maybe the buggy is like one of those folding bikes?
You’ll like this one I recently came across (2:28).
“If you really took your finger and poked hard at it, you could poke right through the outer skin of the spacecraft. It was about the thickness of two layers of aluminum foil. ”
“You were reasonably cautious that you didn’t jab any pointed object through.”
Not obsessively cautious, mind you.. just reasonably cautious.

Pilots don’t have heart attacks… well didn’t… till the Rat Juice
Another One? Boeing Dreamliner Pilot Suffers “Fatal Cardiac Arrest” Shortly After Takeoff https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/airline-pilot-dies-flight-miami-chile
Pilots had heart attacks before. They didn’t make the newspapers.
Also, airlines are trying to use fewer pilots per plane, IIRC. With two well-trained pilots, a heart attack for one is not a big deal.
It was rare… but it most definitely made the news https://duckduckgo.com/?q=airline+pilot+heart+attack&df=2000-01-01..2019-01-01&ia=web
It’s not so rare now – 3 died in a week…
Pilots are extremely healthy – I used to play hockey with many Cathay Pacific pilots in Hong Kong … and even the ones over 50 were very fit. Commercial pilots are scrutinized and have extensive medical checks on a regular basis – if they fail they are grounded and can lose their highly paid jobs. If their sight begins to go – they are out of a job – if a heart issue is detected – they lose their job.
Hmmm…. the timing is odd… as well as the barrage of collapsing pilots we have seen since the Rat Juice mandates…
The Federal Aviation Administration loosened the requirements that airline pilots must meet for cardiac health because a large number have heart damage caused by the COVID-19 vaccines.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. In October, the FAA widened the acceptable parameters it uses when screening pilots for a specific heart condition, the agency said in a statement to The Associated Press. However, the FAA explained that this change was made in response to new scientific evidence about the condition from its cardiology consultants, not adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccines.

100% of ‘Died Suddenly’ Autopsy Cases Causally Connected to the COVID Vaccine, According to Review

3 – on one team….
Bronny James’s cardiac arrest has again raised the issue of how rare or frequent cardiac injury is in the aftermath of receiving an mRNA vaccine, especially among young males. Last Tuesday was the two-year anniversary of an incident during a bicycle race in Belgium, which might have already settled the issue had it been more widely known.
On August 15th, 2021, Yarno van Herck, a rising star of the Acrog-Tormans cycling team, began having shooting pains in his chest during a junior-division race in the Flemish town of Vorselaar. Van Herck would fight through the pain to somehow make it to the finish line. But after the race, his parents would rush him to the hospital, where he would be diagnosed with myocarditis and admitted to intensive care.
Yarno van Herck was 15 years old at the time. Two days earlier, he had received a first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
Dramatic footage of the young cyclist in obvious distress and incapable of responding to a reporter’s questions can be viewed here from the Flemish regional broadcaster RTV.
But what makes the incident particularly significant is that van Herck was the third member of the Acrog-Tormans junior squad to develop heart problems in the immediate aftermath of COVID-19 vaccination in a period of just three weeks. The summer of 2021 was, of course, the summer of the roll-out of COVID-19 vaccines to younger age groups.
According to the team’s sporting director Jef Robert, three weeks before the Vorselaar incident, van Herck’s then 17 year-old teammate, Joppe Erpels, developed severe heart problems one day after a race and likewise just two days after being vaccinated against COVID-19. Erpels would also be admitted to intensive care. Indeed, his condition was so serious that, according to Robert, there were fears for the young man’s life.

Another acolyte for the Messiah…
A Midwestern Doctor liked your comment on How The Music Video “Vaccine Zombie” Predicted COVID-19.
Yes but exterminating 8+ billion people is not easy — you need to play some tricks on them … But at the end of the day … it is for a good cause
https://www.headsupster.com/forumthread?shortId=220
BTW – I have decided to terminate participation in hockey to protect The Messiah…
Last week during a shinny game (no equipment other than a helmet and gloves) a normally docile player decides to hammer a puck at Fast Eddy … the rules are you do not lift the puck never mind blast it … fortunately it hit the meaty part of FE’s thigh stinging and resulting in some serious bruising … FE unloaded on the guy who could not explain why he did that … almost like he was possessed.. like a Vax Zombie…
Then a few days later someone flips Fast from behind and Fast hits HIS head on the ice… later in the game a player swings a wild stick and spears FE in the mouth… both refs claim not to see it even though the puck was in the corner and the player was swinging at it… Fast unhinged and tried to provoke a Cage Match… but no takers.
Having digested these incidents which are outliers… yet they occurred over the span of a couple of days … and dot connecting with the desperate financial situation… I have determined that there are Forces that are attempting to …. injure.. and possibly kill The Messiah…. to prevent HIM from fulfilling his role…. (I am not sure what that role is but I suspect it is critical… a very important role)…
In light of this Fast has been withdrawn from any activity that might … injure HIM including the hockey …. the convener — who at one point was attempting to coerce Fast into injecting Rat Juice (endlessly suggesting he just get the f789ing shot) — did not respond to the email notification … which is a bit odd… I am beginning to wonder if he is some kinda malevolent Demon from Hell…
Who initially tried to kill Fast with the Rat Juice and is now using his Evil Powers to control the zombies to injure or kill Fast …. a desperate attempt to finish the job … before the Apocalypse Arrives and Fast is called upon to reveal HIS role in all this.
As you know — if it is real — it is not Paranoia… this is very real.
Pray for Fast Eddy – pray that I can keep The Messiah safe from these Demons from Hell.
A wise move ice hockey looks dangerous
once again The Messiah is following my advice.
so then what does that make me?
Guru to the dellusional gods?
anyway, I clearly stated a short time ago that He should avoid getting hit AGAIN in the head.
it’s obvious that He can’t afford to lose any more brain cells.
anyway, is the bloody mouth hit a bit of Schad?
isn’t that the way Schad actually works?
perhaps not, we’re all “family” here, so internal Schad is questionable.
anyway, He may be moving on to Western Australia, so I suggest that He take a looooooong break from OFW until He is settled in WA.
more good advice from me!
and free!
I’m afraid that the only way you are going to protect the Chosen One and his sidekick Hoolio is to keep choosing the next right thing (not feeding your own Ego), align with a different daemon and keep living a cleaner life.
Fast Eddy the 1500HP, hyper-dimensional spirit guide is too distracted by his obsession with Bolivian blow, strip clubs and a cast of imaginary enemies and consorts.. SSS, Yeadon, Tommy, Norm, Keith, Anna, Mike and the Elders.
You may need to change your focus to another type of “inside job…” your own character defects where you may cultivate a vital 6th sense, engage in STO (Service to Others) and perhaps learn how to detect BS, practice discernment and write gentlemanly poetry and prose on the end of more.
But is Fast Eddy a bot? Are we all wasting time on this nonsense because of one rogue programmer searching for clicks and subscribers to crackpot Substacks!?
no, the rantinggs and ravinggs are way too inconsistent for a bot.
it “appears” to be that this one is an actual real life spacetard sciencetard and war-on.
it would be very difficult to achieve such an accurate replication of this kind of low level menttal activity.
😉
You must not be aware … it’s a 1500 HP uber genius mind 😉
No not a bot… more along the lines of a digital Messiah
Or was Fast Eddy sent by the PR Team… to entertain the mob … both on OFW and SS … to chaperon ya’ll into the meat grinder…
The thing is …
That is a distinct possibility… the PR Team is very diabolical and clever
Yes yes whatever…
All Hail Fast Eddy… The Messiah…
It is comedy that will restore sanity and dismantle the narrative.
Doing your own research used to be called reading….

It is easier to mock than try to undo the cult-like adherence to the narrative. Joke about the the injection/green energy/economists/experts/etc etc and often it can be the start of a return to reality for some.
A recent example is where I pointed out the futility of mega solar farms in the desert many miles from anywhere and the problems with dust; when asked how they keep them clean I replied Mexicans with feather dusters. It got a laugh, and led to some further points being landed.
The common theme with the ‘subjects’ who follow the herd is their lack of imagination; they whom are injected are often plodders, the very same who died for King and country, who take one for the team, who believe the Ukie/Moon/911/Afghan etc diatribes, who do the right thing, who go along to get along.
My interest is in getting sheeple to the point where they realise what a stuff up it all has been so they can better fully regret their hollow life.
You’ve been served.
It is a thankless endeavour.
That’s why they are called MORE-ONS
Herd mentality is a strong motivator you dont want to be told by the herd that there’s something mentally wrong with you isn’t that the argument that fast eddy and norm both use on each other that they are mentally ill here is a perfect example of herd mentality
