One last report before I take a break from writing and get back to the routine of research and review. Most of you are aware of the rampant mass formation psychosis that is gripping and thrashing the world, but are you also aware of what the psychotic delusional “fix” is that everyone has glommed onto as the solution for their overwhelming problems of lonliness, disconnection and chronic hyper anxiety?

What crazy falsehood have they set up as an object of worship that NO ONE CAN BE ALLOWED TO CHALLENGE?

Well, I’ll tell ya, but I’ll probably get “cancelled” for saying it. It’s money.

And the psychosis which preceded THAT psychotically false obsessive belief, was the dingbat crazy notion idea that your “self” was the only thing of value that mattered (and thus served above all else) and that your “self” was not RIGHTFULLY SUBORDINATE to God. Truly nutso. Just ask one of them. They’ll tell you the same crazy thing that makes no sense whatsoever : that there is no Creator of the creation they’re living in.

Iran is now using the term “Zionist Entity” rather than the word Israel. I like it because it’s accurate and does not remove the possibility of the survival of a nation of that name (but not Zionist or exclusively Jewish owned and operated). Accurate, but not catchy or easy to roll off the tongue. We’ll just have to wait and see if it catches on.

[Oroboros]

to put Lloyd’s saga into perspective:

17 year-old Juliane Koepcke was sucked out of an airplane in 1971 after it was struck by a bolt of lightning. She fell 2 miles to the ground, still strapped to her seat, landed in the tree canopy and survived after she endured 10 days in the Amazon Jungle.

Out of 93 passengers and crew, Juliane was the only survivor of the LANSA flight 508 crash that took place December 24th, 1971.

Neither, when the mouth-breathing crayon-munchers suggested it, the Larry Johnsons at the CIA said, “It won’t work at all, but make Russia strong, independent, and end U.S. hegemony as as Empire”, and Trump said, “Done.”

Because it takes about 100 years for anything to sink into their ant-like chitinous skulls, the next admin saw how it didn’t work, made Russia stronger, and so deca-tripled down. We’re on Sanction 14, right? “Revenge of Segal” “Death Wish 11” sanctions?

Putin’s message to the west w/ Jeffrey Sachs

The Duh’merican public is so willfully stupid and unsophisticated it would take a hundred years of actual education and profound study for even the slightest whisper of a chance of a hint for a little awareness about an accurate picture of world affairs to emerge in their tiny Attention Span Deficit consciousness.

And that’s being extremely generous.

forthright answers!?!?!?

The government of The Russian Federation was spooked when they learned the CIA was spying on United States citizens. This perspective is novel, to say the least, the fact is a man named Snowden has refuge in The Russian Federation for more than ten years.

Were one a judicious and disciplined human being known for courage, honor and duty and donned the atire of a court jester – a fool, he would remain a judicious and disciplined human being.

On the other hand if a court jester – a fool were to don any costume other than his normal attire he would remain a court jester – a fool.

[D Benton Smith]

Covertly messing around with another country’s internal affairs (which is NOT the same thing as merely spying upon what that other country is secretly up to!) is an actual hostile act of war, plain and simple. Clearly it is not a friendly act, and just as clearly it is done IN OPPOSITION to what that other has decided to accomplish what it feels it must in its own interests. In other words, it is by its very nature AGAINST that countries’ perceived best interests.

Putin is telling the West to stop doing that. Stop deliberately trying to do things that the US KNOWS to be against other countries’ self determined efforts to do the best thing for itself and its population. The West, of course, wants nothing to do with ceasing or desisting, because it knows damned well what it is doing, and why. It WANTS to take the other country as an overt act of aggression, and doesn’t care a fig about whether the victim likes it or not. The US will stop when it is MADE to stop.

Carlson may be a rookie, neophyte, beginner, newbie, and starry eyed idealist all rolled into one, but he is no fool.

DBS how many episodes did Carlson host on Fox News? What is his family background?
I respect your opinion, our opinions differ. I am old enough to remember the day Walt Kelly published his famous cartoon regarding the environment. I understood the environment he, as a veteran of the US armed forces, was referencing. Nothing has changed in the United States since the cartoon was published except we are “another day older and deeper in debt”.(Merle Travis -Ernie Ford)

ref: Carlson
Anyone in his socioeconomic condition that believes they can pull the no one messes with a “Biden” schtick is a court jester.

Anyone in the age of instant communication that believes the 85% +- of the world not a product of western education believes a history of being a host on FOX news lends them some credibility is a court jester.

Anyone who forfeited their first amendment rights for thirty pieces of silver, regulary delivered, is a court jester. Relinquishing the right of free association for job security and political advantage is the mark of a fool.

Anyone who willingly lies about the need to murder children to keep the United States of America safe is a court jester. Anyone who lies and says that, starving, poisoning, maiming and murdering children, does not happen by refusing to report conditions accurately is a fool and a water carrier for the likes of Hillary or Pompeo.

There is a difference between being clever and having a high level of intellectual capacity. There is a difference between presenting yourself as having had a road to Damascus moment and having that moment.

I will never accept that murdering more than a million human beings in the last twenty three years has been in the interest of “We the people”. To be blunt, I will consider anyone who takes the position the foreign policy of the United States over the last forty seven years has been anything but malicious and murderous a court jester. Chess board or not.

I guess I’m doing a little bit better than two (and I’m grateful) , because I think I have three such people, who I can talk with fully, frankly and openly without inciting a riot). So, I really do get what you say about “speaking to the ether”.

My views on Tucker are more generous to him than yours, but almost every estimate I make of another human being is subject to instant recalibration if they show true colors different than the colors I previously saw in them, Tucker included.

You may have forgotten this battle:

The Energy Policy Act of 1992, passed by a Democratic Congress and signed by Republican President George H.W. Bush, set the maximum flow rate for showers at 2.5 gallons per minute. Now the Trump administration has increased that rate, which Trump calls inadequate to wash his “beautiful hair.”

From democrat heartland … https://theconversation.com/in-a-last-minute-rule-change-the-trump-administration-rolls-back-water-saving-standards-for-showerheads-145278

Yes, the USA “Land of the free” has had a law in place for 25 years that restricts the flow through your showerhead to 2.5 gallons per minute (2 gallons per minute in California). So, instead of the municipality building new reservoirs, or even restricting your household water use, the law comes into your home and tells you how you can use water. How intrusive is that? Where is the freedom in that? Signed by George W, Trump wanted to repeal it.

I did not realise until doing some research that Americans basically are not allowed power showers; wow, what a bummer.

The reason I got into this is that I am considering what changes we have to make to our power supply if we were to move our appliances to electricity – this is just research, we have no intention of doing this. The power shower runs off a gas bottle and, when turned up, can run two showers simultaneously, delivers over 8 gallons per minute. Now I have to consider how to get that 8 gallons per minute into electricity, which would mean something like a 26kw on-demand water heater.

A 26kw appliance in any country could only be driven by an industrial supply, meaning a 3-phase supply which is not even available to many USA households. It is available where I live, although the price of heating water by electricity is way more expensive than heating it by gas. And have you seen the price of 3-phase water heaters, they are ridiculously expensive compared to a gas bottle heater.

I don’t know how this rule impacted water consumption in the USA, but it seems to me that the USA uses a lot of water, but obviously not on plebs having showers (1 gallon = 4 liters):

The average domestic water use per person in the U.S. was 98-US-gallon (370 L) per day in 2005,[73] and 88-US-gallon (330 L) per day in 2010.[1] This is about 2.2 times as high as in England (150 Liter)[74] and 2.6 times as high as in Germany (126 Liter).[75][76]

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_and_sanitation_in_the_United_States.

Investigating this whole area made me realise that freedom in the USA is not what it seems. Instead of the government building new infrastructure to deal with the demands of its people, it instead interferes in how the people live, trying to restrain their behaviour. I wonder how much water is used by industry, by golf courses etc, I bet their processes are not as micro managed as the average person’s shower time.

The fuck you society.

Implementing The Final Solution:

I am just waiting to see if the Israelis drive the Gaza Palestinians into the Sinai.
After 100 plus days in Gaza, the Israelis army has proven to be incompetent at mass genocide.
The Zionists politicians and their bankers must be very disappointed by these events.
Killing 27,000 of 1,700,000 Palestinians is more than 1% but a bit short of the required 100% final solution.
Is starvation taking too long?
Since Egypt joined BRICS, maybe the Sinai Peace Treaty is now expendable?

Freedom vs Regulation is maybe the most basic of all our never-ending battles. Want some more civilized comfort? Well it’s gonna cost ya another chunk of freedom. As a dichotomy it’s right up there with truth vs lies and good vs bad. The way I see it, most (if not all) of the conveniences we enjoy as a result of being all collaborative, organized and systematized is just a measurement of much full-on freedom we have yielded in payment.

Satanists reckon they wanna be their own boss no matter what. Me, on the other hand, I see myself as a free-willed voluntary slave of God. Like the old saying goes, “You buys your ticket and you takes your ride.”

Your post on water reminds me of San Francisco forcing everyone to install that low flow toilets!
Only to find out there no longer was enough water flow to keep the sewer pipes from clogging up!
This force the city to install constant water flow into the sewer pipes!
Before the required sewer water flow self regulated itself, throughout the day, by depending upon the number of flushes at any given moment.
The constant water flow has to be set for the worst case, daily peak toilet use, so it is less efficient.
Not only that, before each toilet user paid for the water.
Now the city has to directly pay for the extra water being used!

@low-flow showers

Shower heads for US markets have a restrictor plate installed. Ditto most faucets intended for home install. It’s easy to remove in the faucets, can be trickier in the shower heads. If you order from Amazon, it is very likely (my last 3) the fixture arrives without a restrictor plate… i.e. intended for non-US sale.

There was a time, mid ’70s, drought mitigation was rage. Friends down the street from me were peeing in a bottle (a ‘proto-woke’ family). Bulletins were published about how to put an object in your toilet tank to reduce the amount of water per flush.

Short Term Trust https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/short-term-trust

This article below is like many you have seen, and it is clearly the case, as far as it goes, but what cannot be repaid, or even serviced for interest, will be defaulted upon by some mechanism when others refuse to continue to lend more money to service debt payments. We can see that spending has been “pulled forward from the future” by means of buying-on-credit. We can likely see that the loans can’t be “repaid” for many reasons, and we can see that many nations are servicing their debts by borrowing money to pay the interest.
Lending requires faith that the contract between lender and borrower will be honored. There are many reasons not to have such faith, but one might still want to stay in the game if it would not crash this year, or in the next 6 months, or before one would get a clear enough sign to exit immediately. Many investors have exited, already.
What form(s) will debt default take this time around? It is likely that the complexity of derivatives contracts and asset-“ownership” structures will leave most “holders” of stocks and bonds without a claim which they can actually exercise on a pool of real-wealth which is some small fraction of the claims held upon it.
How will this be managed politically? Will all retirement plans lose everything? The structure would hold them to be mostly unsecured-creditors after the holders of derivatives contracts, and the holder-of-record of the securities they “own”, which means “have an unsecured claim upon financial-returns from”.
When Roosevelt collected all of the gold in America and then devalued the dollar against gold, that was a default on debts. When Nixon took America off the gold standard, that was a repudiation of debt-payable-in-gold, another default. This upcoming debt-default will necessarily be larger, since the economy of the future will be contracting, not expanding, and borrowing has been on a vast scale, never seen before..
In whose hands will the power lie to decide how the real wealth remaining will actually be divided among the many weak and powerful holders of excess-claims upon that wealth.
Soaring debt pushing wealthy nations to ‘fiscal death’ – economist​ , Global borrowing topped a record $300 trillion last year
