[See the full post at: Debt Rattle August 19 2020]Wassily Kandinsky Autumn Landscape with Boats 1908
Russian painter and art theorist. Kandinsky is generally credited as the pioneer of abstract art.
wikiSuch an excellent painting.
Frankly, I’ve not seen anything like it before.
Thanks for that opportunity…Master cycles Armstrong:
“We are running two major projects: (1) country by country analysis, and (2) state by state analysis to determine the election. It appears that we will NOT know who the president is at best until December, and at worst, into January 2021. This mail-in vote and states deliberately locking down again to prevent voting are all designed to create total chaos for the election.
We now have the military establishment suggesting that the military should intervene in the election. General Milley has been urged to remove Trump ‘by force’ if he refuses to leave office by other retired generals on behalf of the left-wing agenda. This is falling in like with Podesta’s comments from his war game rehearsal for the election.”
“our computer also warns of this being the most corrupt election in American history, we have been forecasting for more than a decade, I have stated plenty of times, nobody will accept a political loss this time around.”
“There was a group of former top government officials in which they called themselves the Transition Integrity Project where they played a game as they did at EVENT 201 for this virus. They had four possible scenarios, which even include one that looked like 2016 where they would lose the Electoral College. Mr. Podesta played Mr. Biden, and he responded that his party wouldn’t let him concede as Hillary had done alleging voter suppression. Podesta then persuaded the governors of Wisconsin and Michigan to send pro-Biden electors to the Electoral College to change the vote.
They also played out a scenario where a Trump victory would lead to California, Oregon, and Washington moving to secede from the United States. He also played that if the Electoral College could not make a decision because of the delays from the mail-in votes, then the House leader, Pelosi, would name Mr. Biden president. The Senate and White House would reject that and support Mr. Trump. At that point, Podesta would turn to the military to remove Trump.
Never in the history of any election, has there ever been such a political war game played.”Ah Martin, you know computers but not history. What was the Gore election when the Supreme Court, which has absolutely NO jurisdiction de jure decided the (wrong) President? (Gore won by 20k). There have been others, but that was most recent and most obvious. The Kennedy-Nixon election was notoriously corrupt and contested, and both candidates were later removed, the one we can prove via the CIA feeding leaks to the press until they elected the “right” guy, one who would behave himself and do as he was told. I.e. be a puppet for the unelected, unnamed, unaccountable Derp State. How like today.
“I have also warned that Trump was not my concern. My biggest concern has been what comes AFTER Trump. It does not appear that we will still have elections post-2024 going into 2032. Even a Trump victory may buy us a few more years, but we must face the fact that we are spiraling down into political chaos and there will be no coming back. Clearly, the financial capital of the world will shift to Asia. This battle is more than defeating Trump, it is about changing the United States to join a greater socialist agenda which is on target from the previous revolutionary attempts since 1848.” -Armstrong
Yes, because “socialist agenda” is the worst of all possible worlds according to the principles and beliefs of the LEFT. They are the MOST oligarchic, the MOST income disparity, the MOST environmental wrecking, the MOST impoverished and destroying the poor, the MOST oppressive to minorities, and the MOST authoritarian and oppressive. They should hate it more than even the Right, but for some reason they don’t.
Anyway, yes, the trajectory right now is predictable, but without hard work and good behavior from US, the people, it’s only a holding action, as Tytler says.
“Dependence” is UBI and the perpetual $1200 bailouts. Nothing moves here without government support and sanction. All other human activity is stopped by force.
All things are either illegal or compulsory, as befits a tyranny that will soon collapse. “Collapse” meaning merely “decentralizing”, as named by the people who love and profit by the centralization.
Also, if anyone wants a laugh and understands “Australian” – mad as hell was brilliant tonight. From 9 minutes some hilarious insight into financial response by govt to covid. Trust me.
Reflection
The vote counters decide the winners.
Assange is an influencer to fear, and must be muzzled.
Interference is not what USA is doing around the world.
Interference is what others are doing to stop what the USA is trying to do.Socialism would not exist if everyone was equal.
Imagine how bad C19 would be without a record heat wave in death valley.
And now for something different
Hi Ilargi
Late response to your question about if we do permaculture -yes we do a variation on the theme, though like John we are self-taught. We have a 50 acre farm of which about 5 acres is in mixed fruit and veges, no animals. What we have found in our climate zone (and that is an important consideration) it is very difficult to implement. Period. We are 2able-bodied, quite intelligent, hard -working people with access to resources and equipment, have worked at this for about 4 years on a semi-full time basis. I believe based on readings and experience that the principles of permaculture are wholly sound (eg planting a mixture of plants that mutually benefit one another), although implementing at a scale beyond just feeding one household is next toimpossible in my climate zone without shortcuts and modifications. Examples:
1 We use polypropylene strips in some areas (squares in others) to protect young trees from weed competition
2 we plant beneficial plants in strips alongside trees instead of completely circling the trees with them.
3. Because we are starting this adventure late in life, we are focusing more on shrubs than trees (shrubs come to production earlier and are generally not reliant on grafts, so one less vulnerability).
I can share more later on this – out to prep for evening spray of orchard (fermented comfrey, nettle, garlic, whey).@Teri: I replied to your post about oil-under-ANWAR on yesterday’s comments section. Our power-lizards will do what gives them power, until they are out of power. It’s not about your feelings or my feelings. Our feelings make us weak and easily manipulated by our flesh-eating-owners.
@Rototillerman: Thanks for the seroprevalence update, with 10:1 ratio seeming to hold up into May/June in Oregon (Home of John Day, Oregon, which I have never visited)Carol, John Day et al,
I asked the question about permaculture because David Holmgren is still a regular reader of TAE (I know because he sent a donation recently and we talked again a bit). When I published his Boomer’s Apology article here in March 2019, I said he is one of the kindest and most graceful people I know, and I’m sure he’d be willing to help with any issues you guys might have. Like with avocados, for instance. Which I’m guessing would fit in very well in his Melliodora, Australia homestead, though I’m not sure he grows them. Anyway, just a thought, can’t get any closer to the core of permaculture than Dave.
Title: Trump Pardons Jesus http://www.johndayblog.com/2020/08/trump-pardons-jesus.html
OK, I’m sorry, the headline is not accurate. Trump pardoned Susan B. Anthony, the first lady to be on a dollar coin.
Her crime was voting-while-female. She never paid the fine. Some folks say that she would have been against this on principle. No comments from Susan. Free publicity for President Donald.
Good practical joke not pardoning Ed Snowden like he hinted, and certainly not Julian Assange or Private Manning.

Kim Jong-un Orders North Koreans to Hand Over Pet Dogs So They Can be Eaten
North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has ordered citizens to hand over their pet dogs so they can be killed and eaten as a new famine threatens the country.
Heavy rain, widespread flooding and crop damages have left the country short of food supplies, leading the Stalinist regime to demand more wealthy North Koreans give up their dogs, which are considered “decadent” luxury and “a ‘tainted’ trend by bourgeois ideology,” according to South Korean news outlet Chosun Ilbo…The pets are rounded up, with some of them being sent to zoos (feed the big cats?) and others being sold directly to the restaurant trade. https://summit.news/2020/08/18/kim-jong-un-orders-north-koreans-to-hand-over-pet-dogs-so-they-can-be-eaten/ The Biden/Harris campaign and the dead-end of “lesser evil” politics Really, nothing better is being offered in terms of policy. Nothing. All we have is Bernie Sanders saying Biden will fix everything, a lie.

There are all of these tough decisions to make regarding the economy, feeding the rich people, and maintaining the imperial reserve currency, the US Dollar, which extracts tribute from all who use it. Charles Hugh Smith presents the conundrum in 2 essays: A mildly weaker dollar pumps the stock market bubble, but the global reserve currency needs to be a bit stronger than that, so the world does not use the alternatives, which are being used some already, due to the dollar being used so punitively in recent years (Venezuela, Iran, Russia).

The Empire Will Strike Back: Dollar Supremacy Is the Fed’s Imperial Mandate
https://www.oftwominds.com/blogaug20/fed-dollar8-20.htmlThe US military recently gave up the frequencies of about 8.6 cm wavelength to civilian use for 5g. Currently US civilian 5G uses wavelengths about 1 cm long. The US , thereby defaults to adopting the Chinese 5G standard, which is a better standard in terms of lower cost, easier implementation, and reduced damage to human cells. The current 1 cm wavelengths are the ones also used by the US military for crowd control pain-ray devices. They make your skin burn, when focused on you. You will run away.
I’m not sure how I missed this story last month, but last week I saw a patient who had tested positive for COVID-19 about 5 weeks earlier, recovered right after that, got sick again, with kidney symptoms, a persistent/recurrent kidney infection, and I did not test her for COVID again. She got tested in the hospital a few days later, and was positive for SARS-CoV-2, and had typically increased clotting factors in her blood, and a lung CT that looked like COVID, so the real thing, not a false positive.
In this story, somebody got over COVID and donated blood and there was viral RNA found in the blood, replicating virus in the blood. That kind of seeding for long term infection, even in a few people, might make this impossible to eradicate without potent antiviral medicines and years of close surveillance for outbreaks.
SARS-CoV-2 RNAemia in a Healthy Blood Donor 40 Days After Respiratory Illness Resolution
https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/L20-0725 Testing for antibody response can and does miss T-cell mediated immunity to SARS-CoV-2, which is sort of good news, but not really anything you can act upon.
SARS-CoV-2-specific memory T cells will likely prove critical for long-term immune protection against COVID-19. We here systematically mapped the functional and phenotypic landscape of SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell responses in unexposed individuals, exposed family members, and individuals with acute or convalescent COVID-19. Acute phase SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells displayed a highly activated cytotoxic phenotype that correlated with various clinical markers of disease severity, whereas convalescent phase SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells were polyfunctional and displayed a stem-like memory phenotype. Importantly, SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells were detectable in antibody-seronegative exposed family members and convalescent individuals with a history of asymptomatic and mild COVID-19. Our collective dataset shows that SARS-CoV-2 elicits robust, broad and highly functional memory T cell responses, suggesting that natural exposure or infection may prevent recurrent episodes of severe COVID-19.

“Brennan, Strzok and DOJ Needed Assange Arrested – And UK Officials Obliged (CT)”
Insert ever other Trump coup related headline here.If I’m not mistaken the only Americans that are still caught up in the altered reality of the Trump-Russia drama are all the media junkies who rely on television and the NYT for their world view. Everyone else has known for years the who, what, where, and why of actual events. What does it mean when all the evidence is just lying about and justice is impotent? That the corruption of the state is deep and profound, and we are getting perilously close to some sort of reckoning.
LOL. The Star Trek ‘Biden as Captain Pike’ cartoon is ingenious.
Despite the depressing nature of its subject, the decay of Baltimore, the Kimberly Klacik political ad was a breath of fresh air. I love her ‘no nonsense’ approach of pointing out the obvious truths that others dare not speak of. Good luck with the machine, Kimberley.

Not exactly permaculture, Here is my wife’s blog about our farm, “Usually at this time of year we are lambing on our farm. But we chose not to do this anymore, at least for a while. I did not know, of course, when we made that decision, that come spring, we would be forced to stay at home; that this would be a time when new life would have brought much-needed delight. More life. I look out at the paddock where I should see tiny lambs standing beneath their wooly mothers, their little tails trembling, while the ewes raise their chins into the air, as if whistling a familiar tune. I miss them.”
https://ewetopia.farm/Reply To: Debt Rattle August 19 2020Awesome site — probably me favorite source for slanted right-wing news. That the curator doesn’t even live in the US and thus can’t actually contrast what he reads with the on-the-street reality just makes it better; nothing worse than cognitive dissonance when your composing an alternative narrative. Holding off on a donation until I see a Qanon 2020 banner.
@Oblique
Please do tell us what its like on the streets of the US? Where do you people come from? Why do you come to a site that you don’t agree with?
How does one go from making a comment like this: “It seems many of these groups agitating for a more sustainable future have more in common with the larger culture than they appreciate in that their rhetoric largely contains the meta narrative of Progress. That civilizations do come to an end and their wane may be just part of a larger cycle, similar to the rise and fall of other species with the availability of resources, seems a missing chapter to these green new dialogs. Perhaps if humanity avoids a real catastrophe such as full-scale nuclear war it will awake to its new reality as it slides down the other side of the energy curve and adapt itself to a humbler existence.”
Which almost seems reasonable to what you posted above? Maybe you’ve been watching too much MSNBC
Speaking of, enthusiasm gap: stopped talking when it’s no use above the din: both sides claim they have the enthusiasm and are guaranteed landslide while the other side’s party hates their own candidate.
That said, DNC convention seemed to have a mere 1k views. Toy unboxing channels have 30k. And you couldn’t plan or buy this? Even MSNBC reviews seem tepid. A wide array of DNC sorts spoke up AGAINST Harris, that is, she is taking heavy fire from Progressives AND blacks. (I mentioned as their much-desired pick back when, but didn’t think after her instant failure and the rapid and thorough way the right and left both saw through her political record they would actually try it. Speechless. She’s the only woman in America more hated than HRC. Don’t know what they’re doing.)
On the Right, RINOs like Romney all line up, which is why base wouldn’t come out and vote for him back-when: why bother? He invented Obamacare and was more left than Obama. All Republicans, Neo-Cons, plus McCain are for Biden. I don’t think this is a loss of RNC base in any way. My reading is at this point, nearly all RNC (outside of the actual party-operatives and office-holders) hate RINOs and NeoCons — and their wars and ways — nearly as much as Leftists. Enthusiasm, and in getting NEW people who ACTUALLY believe (well, anything) are shown in the 40-point win by Laura Loomer in Florida. (and also far-left win of AOC, etc) In that vein of Trojan Horse RINOs, Ann Coutler (aka Skeletor) is blaming Cheeto for everything, right on cue, so you know them by their works. Only Fox news, run by two leftists children of an Australian globalist and Leftist, listen to or believe them, the hand-picked trojans.
The rest of the party seems to believe in the general approach, although not agreeing on the timing or details: They remain too weak to arrest the ten thousand felonies in D.C., NY, or Silicon Valley, but given Covid wasn’t anyone’s fault and locked down pretty quick, it’s a wash. Eery worst state was DNC, and BECAUSE of DNC Governor decisions (MI, NY Nursing homes). South Dakota is the best, doing nothing. Given Federal jurisdiction, the Feds are prohibited from getting into States or Cities unless asked, and it’s been offered. If Cuomo wants to kill 11,000 people and let crime rise 4x, shut off the economy, board up Madison Avenue, arrest tourists, ruin tax revenue, and collapse his state, why should Missouri bail out their terrible, deadly, idiotic, and well-warned decisions? And he hasn’t. So generally the base is agreeable. Support from independents has risen, “Walk Away” has continued to chisel more percent each year, and black support has risen from 18% to 40%.
So my reading is that enthusiasm to stop the far left, their constant arsons, murders, extortions, and thefts, against Cuban and African immigrants, and stop them from killing more black children in SUVs and from burning more black businesses in black cities, is very high. Even if they’re not on for Cheeto, they MUST win against the violent moral police roaming the streets beating trans people, get back to work, and make America Safe to Tell Jokes and Watch Movies Again.
This is not true in the 12 blesse’d cities nor the Capitol of the Hunger Games, nor with President Rose and Ceasar Flickerman. And 150% of the media comes from there, from people who were born there, whose parents are Yale alumni, or who buy into their same ethos and moved to Brooklyn for that Buzzfeed job. However, prettymuch ALL conservative media is going straight up, YouTube, OneAmerica, everywhere, and prettymuch ALL liberal media is going straight down: NYT, Buzzfeed, Vice. That’s enthusiasm meter there too.
So my take — and this comes from reading my area, which we all must do — is enthusiasm is very, very poor and divided for base Democrats, and very, very high for Trumpeteers, new arrivals, and protest votes. Old RNC vote will be slightly diminished, but mostly pull red lever anyway.
But what does it matter? No one will believe the results anyway regardless of what they are.
If you disagree, rent and RV and drive from the New Jersey Water Gap to Death Valley and tell me what you see there.
The Kimberly Klacik video; meh. Same old political BS. She is correct that Baltimore is a mess, for lots of reasons (one of which – never mentioned as a real problem, although it makes the city impossible to travel through – is that the damn streets are always being worked on, with the attendant detours that take you miles out of the way, but none of the streets ever get finished. EVER. I have no idea how delivery trucks get anywhere.) Anyway, I noticed that she does the same old shit all politicians do; she says the other side can’t run things properly and can’t take care of the people, but offers absolutely no clue as to what her side has to offer instead. If she thinks she can fix Baltimore, what does she have in mind aside from not being a Democrat? Because that is not a “plan”. Heck, I could walk around my city and point out the flaws and find somebody else to blame them on, but that doesn’t mean jack.
Watch it again. You might as well be watching Trump or Biden.
