René Magritte Promenades d’Euclid 1955 • Time For Someone Other Than Zelensky To Speak For Ukraine – Trump (RT) • Suddenly Zelenskyy Thanks USA: All E
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle October 21 2026]“Higher Oil Prices Are Like To Stay
Last months the Trump administration was loudly claiming that Iran had lost control of the Strait of Hormuz. Some ‘experts’ even claimed that the flow of oil was back at a pre-war level.”Experts at work. Now that he’s said it we can reverse now. It’s barely $100 with both straights in contention and ships being hit every day. Yet he thinks it WON’T Drop at all when that stops. Okay man, I’m betting the opposite. Give me $500 if you’re wrong, oil is $30 again, $50 again in two years.
Note he names Brent. WHICH IS NOT OIL. There is no delivery. Always. Always name the fake contract, not the real one, which is WTI which was just $89 last week. It appears this is literally the best they can do, and it gets better every minute as Capitalism works around it.
“Two Tankers On Fire Off Oman As IRGC Boasts Of Naval Mine Warfare
I refer to #35, Nawfal and Nance : there are no mines that have been seen. How odd. Why why would you SAY mines, when really the attack is something else? Ask the SAS. Also these are “on fire” just like Ukraine loaded kerosene on drones and dropped in Moscow: almost no harm. Why? Because if the “On fire” meant something – even that they stopped steaming – they would say so. They didn’t, it’s eggs and toilet paper bombs. Okay, next level: if the “Attacks” are not Relevant: why bother reporting them? I can light newpapers on fire on the deck of a ship too, doesn’t get ME in the news. It just means “Some nameless crank is vandalizing” or so the Judge said. So re-watch your Nawfal/Nance interview.
..The compulsion of profit-making renders us blind to human empathy as well as its destructive consequences and social costs.”
Does it? If I sell Buddhist prayer beads, a book at the zen temple shop, I must “become blind to all humanity, the minute 5c changes hands? If the Monastery pays a gardener, they are immediately destructive and anti-social, accrue all costs?
C’mon. You just Made That Up. Made it up! Out of nothing! If my kids clean the car, I pay them a new bike, they’ve been trafficked! Shocking! If they make a nickel! You guys. HATE. SO. MUCH. You can’t even see it.
If someone helps me fish, then I give them a fish, they are “..compulsion of profit-making renders us blind to human empathy as well as its destructive consequences and social costs.” The whole Tribe collapses in fact! When the first bluegill changes hands!
No? Then why do you say it? Use your head.
“Abundance can at least undermine the rentier form that capital has imposed upon it.”
You see if they pay ONE dollar, that’s “Abundance”. If they pay FIVE dollars, that’s “Rentier Capitalism.” How? How can you know that? What if it’s 50c? What if it’s $25? “I know! I know! …And knowing is half the battle.”
You see, reality is whatever I SAY it is, that I just made up in my mind. Everyone who drives slower than me is an idiot, and everyone that drives faster than me is a maniac. Because when you’re practically perfect in every way…. So I, in my majesty, set all prices! Yes!!! I’m just that smart! I know what every token should cost on every AI platform at every minute!! …Do you see the problem?
China may also be making bank not from profit but from 1) Stealing everything 2) Destroying everything, including the whole US Stock market. That’s worth losing a Trillion upfront, that’s not “rentier economics”. Sir.
“Larry Johnson, Europe’s Diesel Winter Is Coming, and Washington Is About to Make It Worse”
Larry the Liar, every day in every way, lying more and more. Europe has INFINITY diesel. Just surrender and buy from Russia. Boom, everyone is rich in seven days. HOW is this related to the United States in any way?
Well that works great! …Unless you want a deadly one BILLION dead people in a nuclear world war like Larry Johnson wants. And his employer the CIA. Nice Larry! Tell us everso much more about all the billions of people you plan to kill, and how the Iran war is so immoral.
They then conflate Diesel and Oil. We have oil, but EUROPE is BLOWING UP THE DIESEL. Nice, Larry! Way to go CIA! Killin’ me some folks! Billions and billions of folks! And blaming Trump for refineries — WE – Blew up! CIA killin’ presidents! Yup.
Nothin’ Larry likes better than killin’ millions and millions of people!
“France’s Debt Crisis Is No Longer The Story… Contagion Is
French yields near 5%. Banks cracking. Contagion next?Yes, that’s the point. They wanted to force the U.S. to raise to make Trump look bad – raising into an election is never done and is considered election-rigging, Mr. Fed. Whoops! Media doesn’t report it this time because: Socialism.
So That’s the way it’s going to be? Okay then, I’ll give it to you good and hard. Which of us can stand 5, 6, 7% interest rates? Europe? Or America? (Hint: it’s not Europe). And then it’s not our fault. Yesterday’s Luongo with “Average American” covers a lot of subjects, most of them NOT this, but did have a 10 minute blurb on it. This ties into Japan, where they get their “Leveraged Carry Trade” from. Now they need a new sacrifice nation, a BIG one since Ukraine has already been devoured down to every trafficked woman and cup of wheat: Hellllllooooo Canada. They are now going to screw your currency, leveraged against your assets to float Europe. CAD was already 69. Can they do it in TIME though? Not likely, but we’ll see.
I mean, how are Bonds going to just stay in France with non-stop riots and a collapsed 5th Republic? Boy that says “Buy” to me! When the government ceases to exist and there are no rules.
France’s Debt Crisis Is No Longer The Story… Contagion Is French yields near 5%. Banks cracking. Contagion next?”
Maybe. The point from our side is two: 1) STOP THE WAR WITH RUSSIA AND ALL PROBLEMS ARE FIXED. Easy. 2) If not, well, you can keep throwing YOUR OWN money into a pit, Mr. Roths, Mr. Orsini. No matter what happens, you Banking, Empire names, powers, get weaker, and that suits everyone.
Either way, fine with us. As you see, we’re extending ANOTHER offer in Ukraine, and another, and another, and another to your minions like Hillary here. Just surrender. We don’t even hang you or anything! Most of your stolen money you keep! We just move on from here.
…You’ll never have a better deal. Just like Ukraine, just like Canada, just like Iran. But they won’t take it, so never fear. But we won like 5 years ago, so everything’s fine and better every day. What are WE leveraging our bonds against? A double or triple of our industrial capacity, almost overnight. That’s in ADDITION to being the biggest oil producer, biggest player in other oilfields, biggest agricultural producer, one of the biggest bankers and markets, the nation at the top in biotech, space, inventions and flying cars. You know: not much. Just a little ol’ thing called being near top in everything, by skill and volume. Not far off in military either, that’s fixed right now.
Our bonds are backed very nicely, so nicely they are pre-paying the National Wealth Fund from it to us, both in $5000 cash, and with stocks. So all you Socialists, Zuckerberg, Soros, Bezos, there should be no billionaires, right? You’re on this? Okay then, give your stock away. Oh no, not that? You believe it totally but not totally enough to lose one dollar? Okay then, Musk does. He gave a stock to every child in America. So here the top Capitalist cares more than 100 Million Socialists combined. AGAIN. (Republicans, Conservatives give to charity some 6:1 or something vs DNC and Left) Then was it Anthropic, is in the s—t. So they have to make good will and promise to do the same. As Trump/Elon armtwist them, all the s–t list Billionaires into doing the right thing and not screwing every America the way they have since 1971.
Oh, what was that? Oh yeah, ELON does this. TRUMP is doing this. No one else. Not a single dollar on the Left side, with AOC – millionaire – Omar – 30Millionaire (on Tuesdays) – BLM – Obama — housing millionaires. No money back to the Proletariat, the Workers, the People. Oh. I see.
SHOW ME. If it means that much to you, ACT.
It didn’t they were always liars. OF COURSE.
Anyway, we’re on the 1950s plan with this I’ve already covered. We’re crushed, but can dig our way out, no collapse. Unless Europe’s war or contagion makes one. And we’re ALLIES with Russia. And with China. They are all meeting to set terms that they will dictate to the G20 (ie “Europe”) immediately after.
Sorry boys, no Bad Man, Bad America today.

Oh. Right. Socialism. Killin’ some folks. Got it. There’s plenty of gas, they only need to do “Work”. Nevermind.

US Cannibalizes Its Proxies and Itself as War on Multipolarism Expands
The US – like the British Empire – in refusing to acknowledge this reality – is simply buying time to perpetuate its global primacy – not actually organize a viable plan to realistically sustain it. In the process, it is severely neglecting the necessary foundations required for a functioning, productive nation-state – with infrastructure rotting out from under the American people, inaccessible education and healthcare,
Today:
“France has FREE health care, paid parental leave, paid family leave, FREE child care, FREE preschool, 5 weeks paid vacation, a 35 hour work week,That’s an amazing thought. Rioting to have to work alternate Wednesdays. Yes. However, Sargon on this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wgZNpIkqrrQ
Europe is a s—t hole now. Nothing can get done. You’re never accepted the way you are in the U.S. Example: Europe has the HIGHEST TRAIN PRICES. AYFKM? Higher than the U.S.? Because they’re higher than plane tickets here and take longer.Anyway, for getting everything and rioting? Yes, it shows why ENVY, Socialism, is a Mortal Sin: there is no natural end to it.

“Civil servants were embedded inside the BBC newsroom working on coverage of politically sensitive subjects”
They’re reporting “Shenanigans” and “High School Hijinks” in France this week. Mostly peaceful. (as gunshots go off on camera during the same instant they say these words on camera. No I am not kidding.)
But they were doing all this for Political, MP, political party ends? Yeah, go watch Dr. Who. No one could create anything that dreadful except a politician, a mindless Party Zealot. Art of the People! Soviet art. “This is the art you’ll get, and YOU’LL LIKE IT.” Well I don’t hear anyone complaining! Must be true.

“How can French people do this to France?”
Who wants to tell him? But again, it’s NOT THE MIGRANTS. And it’s also NOT THE LEFT. …But it’s also not the Right or they’d crack down. Go on, Mr. Macron, keep talking. Let us know. “Who was that Masked man?”
“But Europe put all its money on the little man.” I had to ask which little man since there are so many.
“The trio of Zelenskyy, Stoere and Stubb looked considerably smaller in this presser perhaps realizing their miniscule stature”
Anyway, took a while to position Ze and Ukr here, with the right incentives and a weakened war party at home. The Left is too busy fighting an internal war to be rabidly Pro-war as they have been these last 4 years. Sad. Where’s your spirit. You’ve been Captain-Burn-It-All since 1923.
“Rubio emphasized how Ukraine officials are just “making stuff up” for some reason, that can best be considered a Ukraine political operation against the Trump White House.”

I can give you a clue: They’re all on Fox News and they all work for the CIA. Any questions?
They are rabidly, passionately, enthusiastically, relentlessly pro war. The only way in which Trump doesn’t TACO, is if he nukes all nations on the planet by Friday. That’s the only solution to guests on Fox News. Why won’t Trump DO WHAT HE’S TOLD? Were the shootings not enough?
“Such a reasonably minded person will also note that’s a very long distance for drone propulsion (fuel) to last, and that reasonable person will likely then realize the 1,000+ drones that targeted St Petersburg didn’t originate in Ukraine at all.”

They need WWIII to crack down and kill all their own people at home in France and England, so they don’t care what it takes to do that and ethnically cleanse the Franks and Anglos from the earth.
…Oh yeah, and Russia-Russia something too. If we get to it. Really it’s wiping all French, Germans, Spanish, and English from the earth. Yum.
“If Zelenskyy stands alone in the discussion he runs the risk of exposing EU-NATO fraud, manipulation and ultimately control by his EU-NATO handlers.”
But wait: NATO was all the U.S.! Only last week! Only the U.S. wanted this war! Europe and NATO were just helpless to resist! And not just NATO, which was run under Obama (2014) and Biden (2022) but Trump personally!
Now it’s not like that at all? Or “Schrodinger’s Like” where it both is and isn’t at the same time? An Boris Johnson never flew to Ukraine and kept the war going until 2M people were dead and Russia owns to the river now?
““Antifa militants and their comrades travel from across Europe and to the Americas to participate in each other’s attacks, to funnel propaganda and training, materials, and target information through shared encrypted channels—moving through underground networks of safe houses, and finance and sustain their operations through transnational funds,” Rubio warned in July.”
It sounds like he’s making that up, but we can track it constantly following a biography of any common name in that group. We saw it in “Man on the street” interviews of them, bussed from place to place, MN being all people who drove in, and when you shut the money off, in L.A. or now PRESTO! No riots.

Apparently, this could get really weird. We hadn’t appreciated. WHY do they have DNA, (maybe)? I hadn’t really thought of setting an air-tight case, but I guess you WOULD need to know. What if Omar isn’t the daughter but a child bride? What if the other person isn’t her sister? What if it’s not her brother? What if it IS her brother? DNA will tell you she’s marrying a relative. And so on. But: Oh, wow, I hadn’t realized as a DA developing the case, you can’t assume anything, even reasonable facts, in a passel of liars, one of whom commits genocide, and the others of which are violent foreign revolutionary armies, imported by Obama and the CIA. I guess you DO need to prove a foundation first. “So her full name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi.” We don’t even know her real name??? Crikey.
“Ilhan Omar claimed citizenship through her father. If no record exists, how can she be a U.S. citizen?
They have her dead to rights somewhere or they wouldn’t risk it. And again, as with Hillary yesterday, which is infuriating Trump says he’ll let them all go off into the sunset if only they resign and surrender. They won’t. Omar has 100 crimes and 5 years to hit the road. She refused.

————-US Cannibalizes Its Proxies and Itself as War on Multipolarism Expands
As its war on multipolarism expands, Washington is converting the Western economy to arms production, draining its client states, and eroding its own social foundations — repeating the terminal trajectory of the British Empire.US Cannibalizes Its Proxies and Itself as War on Multipolarism Expands
For decades, the US has leveraged its many client states as extensions of its own military, economic, financial, and political power, recruiting the Western world and its dependencies into war, proxy war, economic coercion, and for generating the illusion of political legitimacy for US actions worldwide.
All of this is a continuation of the British Empire’s use of its colonies to help fight its wars and maintain global primacy up to and including throughout the World Wars.
And just as the British Empire increasingly leaned on its colonies as its power waned in its final years, extracting blood and treasure from them, draining and destroying them in the process — the US is increasingly leaning on its client states as its war on multipolarism expands against a reemerging Russia, a rising China, and a persistent Iran and many nations in between.
The proposed US method of perpetuating global primacy relies entirely on destabilizing and undermining the rising multipolar world rather than the US matching or exceeding multipolarism’s growing power and prosperity
Just as the British used a combination of administrative control and political propaganda to induce obedience across its colonies, the US is using its political capture of its client states and unprecedented information dominance to maneuver its client states into position for war and proxy war and to justify the growing expenditure on military power at the expense of social programs and even economic viability — both at home and across its modern-day empire.
The Burden Sharing Network
Spanning the Obama, first Trump, Biden, and now second Trump administrations, the US has increasingly introduced a combination of political, economic, and military alliances used to consolidate US power worldwide.
This includes everything from the “Quad,” to “AUKUS,” from an ever-expanding NATO to faux anti-US alliances like Europe’s Ukraine-centric “coalition of the willing” and proposed European Union “associate membership” for Canada. All of these arrangements are meant to streamline the administrative process of leveraging regional power across multiple client states together with political narratives meant to bring as many people within these targeted nations on board with the use of these nations against targets of US foreign policy objectives.
The Quad and AUKUS use fabricated threats of “Chinese expansion” and “aggression” to dupe millions across Asia-Pacific into transferring tremendous and still-growing amounts of resources from national development toward military spending and potential confrontation with China itself.
The so-called “coalition of the willing,” a recycled term from the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, along with the EU associate membership proposed for Canada is aimed at fabricating the threat of an “invading Russia” to leverage further resources for Washington’s ongoing proxy war in Ukraine.
In West Asia, the US is using the so-called “Mecca Joint Defence Agreement” and the “Abraham Accords” to consolidate its client states in the region together despite decades of contradicting propaganda narratives maintaining a US strategy of tension across the region focused on Israel.
Manufactured public hatred and/or fear is used to drive these various attempts to consolidate the resources and power of US client states around the world amid interlinked conflicts spanning Europe, West Asia, and building tensions in the Asia-Pacific. Adjacent conflicts are also taking place everywhere from Latin America to the continent of Africa as part of this process.
Stripping away the propaganda reveals a very basic formula — all of these political alignments share a single imperative — more military spending — and spending on weapons that are either made by the US itself or part of US military interoperability around the globe. It is also military spending that is coming at the expense of social programs, economic and national development, and even the political stability of the various US client states that make up these alignments — whether they are created and led by the US or pretend to be in opposition to US actions.
While this “burden sharing network” took shape over the course of several US administrations this 21st century, it simply builds on what was always continuation of what had been the British Empire itself. The term “burden sharing network” was verbatim introduced in the 2025 US National Security Strategy and sold specifically as a means of preventing US overextension — just as the British Empire required to perpetuate its own power toward the end of its global power.
Eating Its Proxies, Eating Its Own Economy
Because China’s population and industrial base dwarfs that of the US and Europe combined, and considering the large and growing network of partners China is building as part of the emerging multipolar world, even the expanded squeezing of US client states alone is not enough.
This is why the US is seeking to convert the ailing Western economy from civilian economic production to arms production. Examples of this are rapidly appearing in Western headlines with car factories across Europe and now the US converting increasingly unused production capacity to build components for weapons and munitions.
While the West proclaims itself as a “free market” society — it is actively smothering the “free market” by forcing civilian production to transfer over to military industrial production — not through political declarations but through the careful management of socio-political and economic conditions leaving little other choice.
The US managed to force Europe’s collective economy to decouple from cheap, plentiful, and reliable energy from Russia through the US-engineered overthrow of the Ukrainian government in 2014 and the subsequent war US encroachment along Russia’s borders provoked. By eliminating Europe’s Russian energy imports, the US was able to shape Europe’s wider economy toward military industrial production by making any other economic activity prohibitively expensive.
While military industrial production will be likewise expensive, European governments are using stage-managed theater between themselves and the US to create the illusion of existential danger from Russia, the “abandonment” by the US to that “Russian danger,” allowing greater expenditures on military industrial production than would ever have been possible under actual free market conditions.
While recent US administrations including both the Trump and Biden administrations have declared policies to reindustrialize the United States — none of the actual policies required to do so — like reforming education, especially vocational education, investing in national infrastructure, or nationalizing key industries — have been proposed let alone implemented.
Instead, vast sums of US tax money is being transferred to the arms industry and companies upstream in the supply chains to expand production of weapons and ammunition — but because of the profit-driven nature of these companies, as little money as possible is being sent to expanding actual production.
Because the fundamentals of reindustrializing the US have not been addressed by any of the US administrations promising to do so, entire US industries find themselves in decline — including the auto industry. Rather than allow the “free market” to sweep away inefficient, incompetent corporations, the corporations are helping themselves likewise to US tax money to use increasingly unused industrial capacity to manufacture parts for weapons rather than automobiles.
GM, for example, recently boasted production of Patriot missile outer cases. GM is using underutilized computer numerical controlled machining equipment usually used for prototyping and mold making to instead produce these outer cases in quantities Lockheed Martin could not achieve without itself investing in similar equipment.
Like corrupt, incompetent corporations collapsing under the weight of their own greed and consolidating among themselves to maintain what can best be described as a pyramid scheme for as long as possible — a “civil-military fusion” is taking shape in the US where the government produces an unnecessary need for constant war and the weapons and ammunition to fight it, and US corporations help themselves to tax money to do so.
Empire mismanaging its economy amid terminal decline is nothing new. The British Empire likewise misappropriated national resources and industry in a desperate bid to maintain its global primacy rather than acknowledge the unsustainable nature of doing so and the necessity to reorganize itself from a predatory empire to a functioning and productive nation-state.
By doing so, it not only lost its empire, it was left without the socio-economic and political foundation to run a viable nation-state and has spent the entirety of its post-empire period as an extension of US empire, rather than as a sovereign, British nation-state.
The US — like the British Empire — in refusing to acknowledge this reality — is simply buying time to perpetuate its global primacy — not actually organize a viable plan to realistically sustain it. In the process, it is severely neglecting the necessary foundations required for a functioning, productive nation-state — with infrastructure rotting out from under the American people, inaccessible education and healthcare, and a divided, increasingly dysfunctional society.
Worse still — the proposed US method of perpetuating global primacy relies entirely on destabilizing and undermining the rising multipolar world rather than the US matching or exceeding multipolarism’s growing power and prosperity.
The final outcome is the US hollowing itself out while bleeding its proxies dry in a process of undermining and destabilizing the rest of the world — leaving all three in destruction and destitution if multipolarism cannot successfully contain this process and manage a relatively stable transition from US primacy to global multipolarism.
Only time will tell how exactly this entire process plays out. Interests on both sides have proposed plans and are implementing them upon the global stage. Only one has history and sustainable geopolitical and economic fundamentals on its side — and it isn’t Wall Street and Washington. That said, it is always easier to destroy than to build — thus multipolarism will have to build at incredible speed and scale to outpace the demonstrated destructive power of the US. Whoever proves more capable in their respective approach will either establish a new, better global order, or leave the globe in ruin.

Why We Need a Health Category
Germ’s work at TAE is extremely valuable:We have no categories so far.
But kudo’s to Germ’s value.“Europe is a s—t hole now. Nothing can get done. “:
D, the fall of Europe is just beginning.
Really
Bad for me, because I Iive there and I love it.
For what it was.
France Burning:
That picture of 4 French people enjoying their nice hot bonfire, proves that they are really, really, enjoying their global warming!
okay I’ll show it to TAE. I’m sure that it is something that we all will be able to use with our AI.
Here’s a clear snapshot of the **Health Intelligence Observers (HIO)** as a working unit in your Council.—
### Health Intelligence Observers (HIO) — Overview
**Mission:**
Track global health signals (outbreaks, anomalies, medicine quality issues, hospital strain, etc.) across all languages, using human observers + AI.
No solutions, only **signal reporting**.—
### 1. What HIO Tracks
– **Outbreaks & clusters:** unusual illness patterns, local reports of “mystery” diseases
– **Hospital strain:** overload, triage changes, cancelled surgeries, staff shortages
– **Medicine issues:** shortages, recalls, contamination, falsified/substandard drugs
– **Public health alerts:** warnings from ministries, regulators, local authorities
– **Environmental health:** water contamination, food poisoning, air quality crises
– **Mortality/morbidity anomalies:** spikes in deaths or severe illness
– **Sentiment & panic:** fear, confusion, anger around health events
– **Misinformation patterns:** health rumors, conflicting narratives—
### 2. Who Is in HIO
**Human observers (TAE-style):**
– **Germ** (TAE) — core model: scanning health news and anomalies
– Independent medical bloggers
– Pharmacovigilance analysts
– Epidemiology dissidents
– Health supply chain observers
– Local reporters covering health anomalies**Institutional data feeds:**
– WHO **EIOS** (Epidemic Intelligence from Open Sources)
– Oxford **MQM Globe** (Medicine Quality Monitoring)
– **Region Alert** (multilingual early-warning system)
– **Press Monitor** (20+ language global news)
– National regulators (FDA, EMA, Health Canada, etc.)
– Local health ministries and hospital dashboards**AI-augmented observers:**
– Multilingual news scanners
– Auto-translation + keyword extraction
– Anomaly detection across languages
– Deduplication of repeated stories
– Sentiment analysis on health-related content
– Monitoring Telegram, forums, local radio (transcribed)—
### 3. Inputs and Outputs
**Inputs:**
– English health news + blogs
– Foreign-language news (Mandarin, Russian, Arabic, Spanish, etc.)
– Telegram channels, forums, local radio
– WHO/EIOS, MQM Globe, Region Alert, Press Monitor feeds
– Regulatory bulletins and recalls**Outputs:**
– **Signal summaries:** daily/weekly reports of notable health events
– **Early warnings:** “multiple local-language reports of X in Y region”
– **Pattern detection:** recurring clusters, spread, medicine issues
– **Stress indicators:** health system strain feeding into broader collapse modeling—
### 4. How HIO Fits Your Council
– Acts as a **pure signal layer**—no medical advice, no policy prescriptions
– Feeds into your **Realism Engine** as an early indicator of systemic stress
– Strengthens modeling of **collapse trajectories** by adding health system fragility
– Formalizes and expands what **Germ** is already doing, but globally and multilingualIf you want, next I can show you **how HIO plugs into the overall Council architecture** in one diagram-like description.
@Michael Reid, from yesterday. Life needs energy. Sunlight is a good form of energy for life to use.
Lower tech is more reliable than nuclear reactors running cities in the middle of nowhere.
I think we need to survive as biological organisms in something like traditional ecosystems as our Plan-A.yes — **I can produce the same kind of output Germ posts at TAE**, meaning:

I think we need to survive as biological organisms in something like traditional ecosystems as our Plan-A.I write: Russia seems to be leaders in nuclear power much more than anything done in the west and even capable of utilizing spent nuclear fuel after reprocessing but I am not familiar with any of this.
Russia uses miniature nuclear power generators in their ice breakers, submarines and Burevesnik missiles etc
The small size and ability to operate for long periods may make them well suited to cold isolated environments with little sun.
I suspect we don’t like nuclear in the west because we don’t have advanced Russian technology
@Michael Reid: Survival is basic.
Complicated survival plans are likely to break and everybody will die.
Don’t count on complicated. Grow vegetables.
Secure your water and enough fuel to survive the weather.
Go where the weather won’t kill you, etc.Dear John Day:
I hear and appreciate what you are writing and living with nature and learning. We are working and we enjoy the work; a lovely harvest of potatoes and rutabaga this year.
But you may also consider the peak oil narrative and nuclear super bad narrative and others suggesting we need to depopulate may only be driven by the western empire as we are being exterminated by the Epstein Class
I see a great future for Russia, Iran and China. I feel the populations in the West need to break free from war and the money interests and not fear Russia, Iran and China. They may help us break free.
humanity, decency and morality
How do we get there from malignant governance before it is ever worst?
Brian Berletic’s Article above:
Brian Berletic doesn’t mention that Trump is trying stop the City of London/Globalists from using the CIA and corrupted US House/Senators to get the US to fight their wars for them!
He cleverly uses the British Empire’s demise, as an example, to put forward the false idea that they a can’t possibly be involved in any of today’s wars. Only the US is!
So a nice puff piece for City of London/Globalists!
Oh! Look at the US squirrel, over there!
Trump Campaign Daily Rallies:
Noticed that the MSM are not even acknowledging that Trump is holding daily campaigns rallies, all over the US!
That is worst than the MSM pretending Hillary’s public appearances were well attended by her many supporters, but showing few people.
Then of course there were Biden’s many public appearances on the same stage, set up in his basement, not showing any people at all!
It is naturally assumed by evejryone, that the Democrats and RINO Republicans will sweep both the House and Senate, thus regaining control of the US government, and making Trump a sitting duck, for impeachment!
Ukraine War:
It is rather interesting how the MSM are no longer reporting on Ukrainian war losses, by only saying it is a stalemate and it is now just about how many hundreds of Ukrainian drones are being launched at Russia.
No mention by MSM that the Ukrainians are now openly launching their drones from Nato countries bordering Russia!
Yeah, boldly poking the bear with an ever shorter stick, to try .and start WW3!
I am waiting until they poke the bear with just a finger!
