Emotionally unstable?

Trump describes his arraignment: “When I went to the courthouse, which is also a prison in a sense, they signed me in and I’ll tell you: People were crying. People that worked there.”

“S Korea Will Lend 500,000 Artillery Shells To Shore Up Drained US Arsenal, Help Ukraine”

Excellent. Now when they start the war in Taiwan, S. Korea will be helpless too! #Winning! Note they did this AFTER finding out the U.S. is spying on them. So, really putting their foot down, as they said they didn’t want to give shells AND didn’t want to get involved in Ukraine.

“Agenda 2030” “Inventory Plan.” What is that? That’s the 1930’s “Technocrats”, the “Technocracy” and “Technocratic Elite.” It’s Plato’s “Philosopher Kings”. What is it? It’s the Soviet Union. Now that didn’t work then, but their conclusion was that they just didn’t have the technology to do the INVENTORY ENOUGH, match up Central Planning Production and Demand. With computers, with AI, they won’t have 10,000 too many tractors and kill everyone this time. So? Not to be stopped, for 50 years they invested in the “Inventory Systems” and “Inventory Plans” like Amazon, that are adequately computerized and connected. Only THEN, can we have full and complete, working Communism, and peace and prosperity at last.

…Where – I – own all the factories and fly for shopping in Switzerland like Ze’s and Macron’s Wives, while YOU own nothing and live in a 15-minute city concrete high-rise, eat bugs, and have no outlet but VR glasses all day. Well, I mean, we’re the Philosopher KINGS for a reason. WE know best. We are saving the whole PLANET. Sure you won’t deny me a little private-jet shopping in return, right? And your third daughter.

Strategic Command apparently doesn’t know how electricity works? Imagine grabbing that live wire in a suit of plate armor.

“The Hegemon, under its self-concocted “rules-based international order”, essentially never did diplomacy.”

Nah, America did at one time. All Empires did, that’s how they get started taking over from the previous one. We may have lasted longer than most in trying to be good. Who knows? –They had to deceive the American people foremost and that always meant having to paint on the appearance of being good. Slowly being aware of existing divisions leads to using divisions, then enhancing them, then creating them out of nothing. But this can only happen with a SECRET State. “The very act of secrecy is repugnant to a free Democracy” – Kennedy, because how does Congress keep tabs on it, and how do the people get properly informed to vote? FF>> The End. The Secret State, the Spies, the Secret Police ALWAYS destroy their host nation. Always. One of the few truisms in history.

In our case, worse: All Secret States in most countries have united to work against all the PEOPLE in the host nations, and worldwide.

“US Admin Losing Trust Among Its Intelligence Community – Seymour Hersh (TASS) “

We see this in the NS2 leak and the Ukraine Readiness leak.

Musk exchange is pretty interesting, less salacious than the headlines, but also more deep and “banality of evil” about how “We all just know.” We know, we got the memo. You didn’t get the memo? Yes we all know this now. Elon: “How do you know? What event happened to change that?” Reporter and Everyone: “No event. Nothing happened. We all just know it changed because nothing changed.”

Okay then! What are you supposed to SAY to that, as Jb and I say sometimes?

There is no evidence because it’s clearly past discussion. Why are you a Twitter denier? Um, because BBC made up everything they’ve reported, every day since the Iraq War and probably before? You’re literally a mentally-ill crazy person, but being such won’t believe me when I tell you there’s no dragons in your closet and Vladimir Putin isn’t under your bed.

“Mr Musk refused to accept there was more hateful content on the platform since he took over.”

Got it in one. This is exactly the point. “Refused to accept” a thing no one can give evidence for. Therefore Elon is both crazy AND dangerous. Everyone knows you accept all conclusions without having or providing evidence first! No really – I can only WISH this were hyperbole. This is hourly, every day, all year for 10 years now. Slowly phasing in for 20 or 30.

“Some outside experts disagree”

As Elon said, Yeah, and? “Somebody’s always saying something.” Oh no: the fact of someone SAYING something makes it real! …Well, only if it’s something I LIKE. Actually, that’s democracy. It was up-voted, therefore it is true. 51% just voted it was.

“He’s against banning TikTok.” Amazing add. Now we know he’s evilly-evil! The TikTok Bill was going to be the most instant totalitarian foray ever passed by man, outpacing the Reich by leagues, and if Elon’s against suppression of all human rights, well that just proves how evil he is, doesn’t it?

I don’t know what drives this mindset. Somehow all the Peasants think that if they empower the Warlords THEY will become warlords and eat at his table when nothing could be further from the truth. They ALWAYS put Antifa, the Brown Shirts first against the wall. But as the PMC/Laptop Class, PMC being “Professional MANAGERIAL Class”, they are in fact the Mandarins, the middle managers, of whatever Khan swoops in from Mongolia. A long family history of this, making them the only ones in America still affording $500k McMansions, actually support this ridiculous, illogical view.

So the more their neighbors are destroyed, the better for them, although that’s never a conscious decision. We the rest of us just know they’re not trustworthy.

“because Ukraine kept sending soldiers into the meat grinder”

Lira’s roundtable premised this wasn’t any master plan on the part of Russia. They were on the Front, and realized, as a larger premise, they needed to call up and therefore train 300,000 troops. The Front would have to stall, and if not to just drive to Odessa, they would have to fall back to better waiting positions in Kerkov. The only people who had readiness was still Wagner. Now as that front existed, Ukraine kept making this area active. Russia kept winning there, inasmuch as you have a “Front” somewhere, and the balance of men/losses was favorable. So they merely kept using what was working as long as Ukraine would accommodate them and never change tactics, and Ze made it easy to sell since he publicly stated his battle plan: Never surrender, therefore always throw more men into a location that was 20:1 favorable to Russia. Okay then.

This is far more plausible. Not to say what they say on a daily basis, that it’s a choice, a strategy, all that, isn’t TRUE. But don’t slide sideways into thinking some Russian Planner arranged it back in 2018 and rolled it out of the playbook.

This goes to the more important issue: Russia can Change on the Battlefield. The standard Army wasn’t working as well, perhaps because they were also selling info to the Pentagon on the side. So they injected more into Wagner who was working pretty well. The tank tactics up north weren’t grand, and the Ukrainian people gave less support than expected, even in the Russian East. They adjusted.

I said last year Russia is doing “X” and wiping out Ukraine, so Ukrainian military needs to adjust to find a winning pattern. They haven’t. Not once. Not only have they not, they’ve actually doubled on the tactics that lose the most. So therefore, they will lose. I actually can’t understand this, like Ireland could change, ultimately defeat the British. The Viet Cong could. Fanatics are brilliant at maximum effort, and they know their end goal. All that was on their side. But their “Glorious to Ukrainia” involves “Charge of the Light Brigade” every day? Polish-style? …What the actual…?

They are not serious people. They are mentally ill, and will lose. Deservedly. And books of Military history will say so.

“The Pentagon has gamed out four “wild card” scenarios that could affect the conflict in Ukraine, including the sudden deaths of the president”

Great Pentagon Planning: “And then a MIRACLE happened” and we won! Yeah guys, what if an asteroid came down and hit only the Kremlin? Wouldn’t that be great? Wouldn’t we win then?

…Any of you ever play Monopoly with spoiled rich kids? Who start losing? Yeah, it looks like this.

White House Stenographer. Is this what they’re up to? We could feel they were leading out line for the Joe Biden hook operation. I’m sure there’s more than this, but this feels like the first volley.

“where Cohen is expected to serve as a key witness”

You mean the lawyer already convicted of lying before court and Congress?

“Capitalism has always been about the accumulation and the concentration of wealth.”

Okay, interesting premise, support it.

“Marx and Engels first described that phenomena in their 1848 Communist Manifesto. Thomas Piketty…”

Arg!!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaand there you go. There is no economic theory but Marx. No one refers to anything but Marx. But in so doing they pick up some of Marx’s biases. As they’ve never encountered anyone or anything else, they think this is normal “just the way things are.” Like, it’s economic math, indisputable. We don’t even look at it or examine it, pass right over.

So why read the rest? I now know they’re going to say the breaking of the law, the ending of all property rights is a foundation of Capitalism, while the solution is going to be by handing MORE power the exact same government who is bribed, breaks the law, and ends property rights for others. Except THIS time, they’ll do what the POOREST people say, instead of those who are rich, powerful, and well-known. …Yeah, sure they will honey. Sure they will.

Let’s be more productive: what would NON-Marxists say? 1) You should follow the law? 2) Bribery should be arrested? 3) Monopolies that allow such billionaires shouldn’t be allowed as they are antithetical to competition? Monopolies can and should be curtailed by Sherman Anti-trust and tax laws which are overwhelmingly punitive to small business – the only net-net employers, but far more fundamentally by erasing the concept of “corporation” as a common entity. It didn’t exist and used to require an act of Legislature to get a business license which would prove to the people what social good you would provide to get this undue advantage. 4) and most obviously, it’s illegal government-run money power that lets Home Depot borrow money, run everyone out of business, never make a profit, and continue in that manner for lifetimes. It’s that money-power that first TAXES half the working income, then INFLATES the remaining half at even a 2% compounded. Stealing 75% of all normal persons’ money before retirement. Probably far more as the tax-half would be compounded. Hey does that lead to some “Income disparity”? GE and Amazon pay zero tax, but we’re discussing the money-power who directs ALL activity away from individuals and TOWARDS friends and family, until all 10 richest Zip Codes become D.C., displacing even Manhattan, Westchester, and Greenwich.

The list is longer than an encyclopedia, but there are four easy adds to help return the system to something vaguely resembling “Capitalism.”

“Someday, I hope that we’ll have leadership at the CDC that is not corrupt” …Adding Pfizer and the FDA.

Yes, they are all GOVERNMENT. But you can’t just get rid of government, boycott them, cut off their money like you can a dangerous soft-drink company. Who would you ask to do that? The Government? “Yes, sir, please go disband yourself, we’ve determined that you are evil.” Government: “No thank you. And P.S. you’re under arrest.”

Seriously? Am I going to go my whole life before people can manage to give up on the “government protects us, government can fix it”? It would seem so. Now is SEEMS like hyperbole when I say they actively kill and sell out everything they touch, but we’re 20 years after Tech Bubble, 9-12, 20 years since $6Trill war, complete gutting of all America, 15 years since ‘08 MERS, Madoff, the SEC, the CFTC, the $23 Trillion bank bailout, where $700B would have bought out and paid off every mortgage in America.

There is literally no scandal that can break through, no sub-group of black homeowners that can get screwed out of a lifetime of mortgage payments, etc, that can make people say “Hmmmm. I’m beginning to suspect Daddy may not have my best interests in mind.” He seems to keep sneaking into my sister’s bedroom every year or so.

I have to say that as there seems to be no level of offense I can give that will make people’s mind-gears engage.

The FDA, CDC, EPA, SEC, CFTC, ALL EXIST TO PROTECT CORPORATIONS. In fact, they’re all paid for BY the Corporations. (SEC, etc with “fines”, profit-sharing the public theft). Therefore if you want to disarm the CORPORATIONS, you need to disarm the “government” that they wholly own. (and take a different route.)

Guar – closest to the European Auroch.

Kultsummer, yes, you’re right I hadn’t thought of that. It seemed so locked up from the mine face right to the Soldier, that it seemed all “Military”. But no, even so, it’s entirely private hands. They may keep good tabs on it, but who’s checking if Roy’s Shell Shop sold 2/3rds of their bombs to drug cartels? Or not. Who tracks? And that’s of course beyond the Blackwater angle which is entirely out of hand.

Oh and while I think of it – the 2030 inventory plan is sooooo dumb because you can only count your stock on shelves or inventory if it is dead. static. controlled.
Nature and life creates seeds and storms and earthquakes and acne and psychos and octopi. It all keeps changing. Am I the only one who thinks these technocrats need to drop some acid and get a fucking clue. It is a hologram. We are perceivers not objects. IMAGES CANNOT THINK.
Only true spirit using mind can think.
Sure it can think it is a president or a prostitute but what has no real form cannot be measured and agenda 30 is for scared babies who won’t grow up and smell the coffee.

Re: biolabs

Mankind owes an explanation to itself: why are there so many humans that feel utterly at ease doing R&D with the sole purpose of maiming, handicapping and/or outright kill other humans, and why the humans that somehow find this to be an abhorrent pursuit do exactly zilch about it? And why are so called “democratic” governments – you know, rullers elected by the people (LOL) – packed with people of the former persuasion?

kultsommer,

polemos mentions that I may be arguing from a “I got mine, you get yours! We’re out!” mindset when addressing problems facing us all. My post – at some length – addressed that in some depth.

So you reply to that post “explaining” to me what used to be possible for americans and is no longer possible for many americans, wrapping it up with

“Well, that kind of opportunity and life is forever closed for many.
Blame the Marx if that makes you feel better.”

I just got done telling you I expect to be dumped into an open ditch as my retirement plan, amongst other things. Yet that’s what you REPLIED TO.

You SEEM to be re-positioning me as One Who Needs To Realize And Is Out Of Touch before implying I am in a dream world, have my priorities wrong, regarding Marxism.

You’re arguing in extremely bad faith, implying I am 180 degrees opposite MY OWN post you are replying to. Unlike every argument AFKTT confronts, this one is implicitly ad hominem. An ad hominem strawman at that.

Marxists don’t know how. They are historically incompetent. Every time they get to run things on “scientific materialistic forward-thinking” lines is a disaster.

(for example: Freaking out from realizing the farmers are “evil landowners,” liquidating them, replacing them with proper city proletariat who do not know how to farm, then confiscating the harvest to re-distribute it on equitable, New-Thinking, materialistic lines and everybody starves to death)

Their pattern is typically to fail, then blame failure on anyone opposing (or imagined as opposing/ruining their big-brain plans) Persecuting, jailing, killing otherwise productive useful people in their society. Shortly thereafter, they shrug, resort to stealing property and slave labor. To fulfill their vision of paradise for the downtrodden.

That’s really, really bad news. ACTUALLY, not hypothetically. Over and over again, observably. Along with an INCREASE in disparity of wealth and DECREASE in social mobility. And your reply to me implies that marxism is a separate and irrelevant issue to declining living standards??? Nothing but nuclear war will decline them further.

It is very much NON negligible that there’s also an underlying worldview to Marxism. Particular ideas about what reality is, what life is, what humanity is. It cannot but inform every move to address reality and humans. And it is toxic. An INDIVIDUAL buying into it will be made unhappy and have their time and energy sapped by a parasitic memeplex. Same happens to societies.

In this case, we can see that the same blob that brooks no discussion let alone argument regarding things like ginormous monopolies, the end of free speech, war, poisonous injections ALSO promulgates and brooks no discussion let alone argument regarding multiple variations of corrosive demoralizing current year marxism. The current blend is even WORSE than previous ones, as it labels whole swathes of humanity as subhumans and is based on a recursive insular mystery religion function.

When people complain about Capitalism, they are often pointing to MONOPOLY (which is a disease that kills capitalism). What’s the solution to monopoly? MORE monopoly. Fuse those corps and govt into each other just like marx said. Part of the Inevitable Progressive Conditions of Historicity.

Dr D
Ten Men, 1 Trillion… tells the story.
You think that “Marx” will take away your retirement.
I think that “10 men” will take mine.
Whos’ pocket is emptier?

You think that “Marx” will take away your retirement.

Gee you totally don’t argue from implicit evocative re-framing imagery at all.

Since the Marxist downward progression is (a kind of inevitable progression of conditions! ha!):

Failure > Blame others, persecute them > Steal stuff > Slave Labor

lt IS step #3 after all.

Not a bunch of wild eyed marxists in a room secretly plotting against a particular person’s retirement as you portray – placing a tin foil hat on Dr D’s head for him as you type.

But with everything getting stolen, retirement being a subset of everything, yeah Marxists would gladly steal it once they reach step 3.

TAE is showing all the secret.

what’s so great about civilization?

As I’ve written yesterday:
“Blame the Marx if that makes you feel better”.

kultsommer – if you’d like to stop hiding behind re-framing evocation and evasion, anytime is a good time to state your case.

Shall I guess?

1. Marxism isn’t happening, you’re imagining it
2. The Marxism that is happening is inconsequential
3. You’re imagining it and are a conspiracy nutjob
4. You’re silly to object to the marxism that is happening

Gee, did you miss 2020 when 2 organizations rioted for 100 days straight in america’s 50 largest cities
—flying the exact marxist flags from the 20’s/30’s
—clamoring to defund the police just like they did in poland, lithuania, latvia, estonia in the 30’s/40’s
—established marxist CHAZ/CHOP communes in all the major cities (not just Portland)
—proclaimed openly to be trained marxists
—said on their website that they would dismantle capitalism and the american family verbatim?
—vandalized, besieged, and even burnt down government buildings?
—police told to stand down by Governors and Mayors
—Let go by DA’s funded for that very purpose
—pallets of bricks etc magically appearing where needed
—masses of people flown/bussed various places

Current intersectional “theory”/marxist critical “theory” is a clear retrofit of Marxist concepts of False Consciousness of the working class – we know because the inventors TELL US

Did you notice that 2 books introducing fischer-price versions of this theory became best-sellers, and from there became overwhelmingly standard doctrine in corporations, NGO’s, governments, K-12 schoools, and universities?

Did you notice millions of people having to go through multiple required trainings on these concepts?

What did Ibrahim X Kendri say he WANTED from this school of thought? What’s the goal? In his own words, a council, neither elected nor appointed by elected officials with power over both government and business. (soviet is the word for council in Russian – Cosmic Coincidence. Councils were the preferred tool in 20’s marxism and beyond – Cosmic Coincidence)

You didn’t notice Councils for “safety, inclusion, DIE, etc” popping up everywhere for everything, in CHURCHES everywhere?

You didn’t notice the messaging being pumped into every corporate, govt, ngo, and education controlled medium? News, advertising, entertainment? You didn’t notice?

You didn’t notice the banners on every website, the billions being pumped into it?

I begin to think you are engaged in projection.

Perhaps YOU are comfortably retired or in some other reasonably secure situation. Perhaps YOU see current, momentary benefit to going along with the Current Thing because YOU’LL be gone before the worst inevitable results begin to hit AS THEY ALWAYS HAVE when these ideas reach a critical mass.

You can wear the pin with the moral message on your lapel, sing along to Imagine in your car, because you got yours? Is that it?

Trump, after murdering General Qasem Soleimani for the tribe, obviously got a taste for blood and went for the big one, the mass slaughter by vaccine.

Lets not forget Donalds dropping of the M.O.A.B. on Afghanistan. I neither supported or voted for either of the two ‘Evils’.

Former Afghan President Hamid Karzai criticized the mission. “This is not the war on terror, but the inhuman and most brutal misuse of our country as [a] testing ground for new and dangerous weapons,”

https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/trump-drops-the-mother-of-all-bombs-on-afghanistan

Apparent that a majority of Amuricans, at least the ‘swing voters’, vote for Evil. “I’m voting for the lesser of two evils” sums up the despicable Nature of US citizens that casually vote for Evil which they openly acknowledge. A nation who’s leader is decidedly evil before they take office clarifies the broad spectrum mental illness of a murderous Nation. USA ! USA !

Speaking of Soleimani, Where in the world is Michael D’Andrea aka “ayatollah mike”? Forced early retirement huh ? haha

At least Trump did not mandate the death shots, but they will eventually try to pin it all on him. Biden and Democrats severely f’d up with their mandates, and they will pay for it eventually one way or another.

…

Pharma Board of Directors meeting-
“ok folks, we’ve got TOTAL liability immunity for our product that provides no immunity. So we injure and kill millions, to save none, and we make Billion$! How’s that next Plandemic plan coming along? Now more importantly, did we decide on Lobster or Crab for lunch? Meeting adjourned.”

“We have no doubt that the US, under the guise of ensuring global biosecurity, conducted dual-use research, including the creation of biological weapons components, in close proximity to Russian borders,” Kirillov told lawmakers.

Moscow raised concerns over a network of secretive US-funded laboratories in Ukraine in the early weeks of the conflict, and has frequently made public evidence about the program ever since. The US government confirmed the existence of the labs last March, but insisted they were neither illegal nor intended for a military purpose, despite the fact that much of their funding went through the Pentagon.

Now wasn’t one of Hunter Bidens business in UKR to plan and predict the next viral biological threat to humanity? What a coinkydink. Vaxd cultists suddenly dropping dead, must be the cult, not the vax- lesser of two evils and all.

Karl Marx described the industrial capitalism of 1848 Europe pretty darned well, but…​
​ ​The world we live in today, of government sectors taking up a large part of the economy, setting tax policy, free trade agreements and regulation, was not a world that Marx would have seen.
​ ​Why I think this is significant, is that the 1980s saw a turn to pro-capital policy, while it recalls the globalization period we saw before World War I, the reality is that we have never seen a pro-capital era AND a large government era before. In the pre World War I period, with the notable exceptions of organizations such as the East-India Company, business and government were largely separate. It was only in reaction to the Great Depression did government policy and industry begin to work together. The pro-capital turn in policy in the US in 1980s, was not a return to neo-classical economics that existed pre 1930. It was taking the infrastructure that was pro-labor, and turning it to make it pro-capital. Any policy that promoted growth in the value of capital, and the growth of wealth was smiled upon. Free trade agreements, the opening up of capital markets, deregulation, lower tax rates, anti-union policies, immigration, lower tariffs. Privatisation of various assets with natural monopoly tendencies have also favored capital over labor. The continual extension of patent life fit into this pattern.
​ ​This trend has had two effects. Labor and wages have seen little real growth (as this would have had a negative effect on profits), and policy making has focused on raising the value of capital. Using Federal Reserve data on net worth, and comparing to GDP, we can see that net worth in the US relative to GDP has risen from 320% in the late 1970s to a peak of over 600%​ (Debt/wealth doubled compared to “economy”.)

Consciousness of Sheep, Counterfeit World, Part 3, Hubris
​ ​Miniaturisation and mass consumption in the twenty-first century have given the appearance of technological progress to the point that communist activists and fascistic technocrats put forward the same techno-utopia in the form of Fully Automated Luxury Communism or The Fourth Industrial Revolution – differing only in whether we mere peasants get to be ruled over by the self-identifying vanguard of the proletariat or a bunch of technocratic gauleiters led by the world’s favourite wannabee Bond villain (Klaus Schwab)​.​
​..​This mismatch between the sales pitch and the reality, partly explains the political chasm which has opened up across the western states – one which largely explains the 2016 votes for Brexit and Trump – between so-called “Virtuals” and “Physicals.” Virtuals tend to be university-educated metropolitan dwellers who spend most of their working hours in front of screens. Physicals, in contrast, work in the kind of occupations which require getting dirt beneath one’s fingernails…
..A large part of the support for some kind of Green New Deal comes from the usual suspects in the energy and banking and finance sectors… and for much the same reason – they expect to continue to enrich themselves on government subsidies, ESG consultancies and Ponzi carbon trading. The only surprise here being the manner in which so many self-identifying activists have taken on the role of useful idiots in promoting this final corporate feeding frenzy before Planet Earth is finally exhausted. But for the technocratic priesthood which drives policy across the western states, the proposed non-solution to climate change is an ideologically-driven attempt to digitise the physical world out of existence… it is about using technology to replace the real world – including those pesky Physicals – altogether. The drawback though, is that the proposed fourth industrial revolution only exists inside the heads of the kind of ungrounded Virtuals who fly into Davos on private jets to lecture the rest of us about carbon footprints. That is, the technologies either don’t exist in the real world, or have yet to make it off the test bed.
The give-away can be found in the absence of infrastructure…
..You may breathe a sigh of relief that Elon Musk is never going to install a computer chip in your brain. And it is for the same reason that you can’t buy the promised fridge which automatically orders food from your local supermarket… the infrastructure doesn’t exist. The same goes for genuinely renewable energy technologies and driverless cars. Wannabe global Führer Herr Schwab and his followers might have wet dreams about imposing authoritarian rule over the world population using social credit scores and programmable Central Bank Digital Currencies. But the infrastructure not only doesn’t exist, but it never will…
..The illusion – for that is all it is – which we are being sold is little more than the digital version of the eternal life that humans have pursued ever since we began to notice that our days on this planet are numbered. It is largely a geek version of the cosmetic medicine industry’s claim to offer us – at huge cost – the façade of eternal youth…
..The same goes for the proposed Great Reset. Not only will the digital technology fail to deliver – because what is promised won’t work in the real world – but it will destroy all that we previously had in the attempt.​ (er, grow vegetables)​

​ ​The Rising Chorus of Renewable Energy Skeptics ​:​​ ​The green techno-dream is so vastly destructive, they say, ‘we have to come up with a different plan.’
For largely ideological reasons many greens and “transitionists” have presented the transition to renewables as a smooth road with no potholes. In so doing they have ignored much basic geology, energy physics and even geopolitics. As a consequence many imagine the construction of millions of batteries, wind mills, solar panels, transmission lines and associated technologies, but they downplay the required intensification of mining for copper, nickel, cobalt and rare minerals you’ve probably never heard of such as dysprosium and neodymium.
One of the great lies of modern technological society is that of endless mineral abundance. Urban consumers, who have little knowledge of energy realities underpinning their existence, have swallowed the idea that digital gadgets and automation will somehow detach society from the physical world and allow us to do more with less, leading to a dematerialization of society. [I feel like I’ll “dematerialize” soon enough, anyway]
https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2023/04/07/Rising-Chorus-Renewable-Energy-Skeptics/

I don’t mean to imply that no new technological innovation is useful, but we should consider possibilities outside of the growth paradigm and vast failure-free infrastructure networks. Solid state batteries have been worked on for decades, and are now operational. Manufacturing them is the big hurdle being undertaken. Toyota is in the lead. These should use less of limited minerals (no nickel or cobalt, for instance), not blow up, and be dependable for over 30 years or 10,000 charge cycles. Something like this could be useful for emergency power at a home or business, and with on-site solar electrical generation.

Solid-state batteries: the new frontier of electrification?

“The four outcomes considered by the DIA are:
1 & 2) the deaths of either Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky or Russian President Vladimir Putin,
3) the removal of leadership within the Russian Armed Forces,
4) or a Ukrainian strike on the Kremlin.”

1) Zelinsky is easy to kill, but is useful to the empire while the empire keeps the “Ukraine will win” narrative, which is increasingly expensive. He would follow orders without being killed.
2) How ya gonna get Putin to die this year?
3) How ya gonna’ remove Russian generals. They learned how to avoid targeting last year.
4) Ukraine striking the Kremlin is US striking the Kremlin. Everybody knows it and Russia already publicly announced how that would be treated.

Still going with re-framing image as part of your schtick. You’re talking to a left leaning atheist libertine and wanting to throw an ol-timey McCarthy frame around me. Roger that this is what you’d like.

“Call me when flags with hammer and sickle are on the Capitol building, crowned with Kremlin-like huge red star.”

Like if you were looking around seeing fascism in action everywhere, worldviews emanating from fascist thinkers embedded in all the institutions – education, corporations, governments at all levels, and ngos, you would say

“Call me when I can see guys goosestepping down the street out my window”

because unless I see people goose-stepping down the street, surely there is no fascism. That’s how you can tell when there is fascism.

“Too many illnesses among the agents”. The complaint in the Prosecutor’s Office of the police union: “Seize the vaccines”

“The leader of the Les Porto union explained that he wanted to present the complaint “because I saw 15 colleagues die from the consequences of the vaccine, all young and healthy“. The document calls for the criminal prosecution of those responsible for the serious events described and, if the link between vaccines and adverse effects is confirmed, the preventive evidentiary seizure of the vaccine vials.”
