    “Fire At New Zealand’s Largest Egg Farm Kills 75,000 Hens Amid National Shortage

    What are the odds? Died of coincidence.

    “Neo-Nazi Couple Arrested For Alleged Plot To ‘Completely Destroy’ Baltimore”

    25 of 28. Great headline, a city’s a big place, what were they going to do? Release fentanyl (too late)? A Dirty bomb? Nope, they were just going to shut the lights off. Huh? Yup, I’m sure the power company has never seen a damaged substation before and everyone in the city would die, die DIE! I tells ya! You know, it’s one thing when white trash neo-Nazis are f’ing idiots – you expect that. But it’s another when every police, reporter, and commenter is. What. The actual.

    Upcoming? The FBI will have known all about them, all their friends will be FBI, and will have sold them the goods for free. The FBI else where is still saying “NeoNazis dun it” when they have no suspects and no leads at all. (Checks clipboard) “Today’s Enemy whut dun everything is…”

    “Putin: What is the problem with “Empire”? They think they are so powerful, that they can afford mistakes.

    That is, the point of power is to protect you from consequences. But if you’re an idiot nothing can protect ‘you’ from that. ‘You’ may not be the individual, but your nation, your collective.

    Twenty THOUSAND Poles? PLUS everybody else? (Another 20,000?) Although it makes sense, that’s way higher than I had it and will later support that Russia fought all NATO combined, headed by Nazis, just like in WWII.

    And now Nazis with chemical weapons, backed by the United States. Well I feel safer already!

    Note: it’s not THERE. You’re not “Next”. You are past tense. After realizing the gravity of the Fentanyl, the bad water, food poisoning, Glyphosate and others, they kept doing it. Like Australian aborigines, they have been running a full scale extinction campaign on their own people here in America. It’s what Nazis do.™

    Sounds like Estonia and Lithuania will cease to exist, having been invaded and conquered by Ukraine. Problem solved.

    “• India and Russia Ditching Dollar In Energy Deal – Novatek (RT)

    Yet it doesn’t matter. Nothing will ever matter again.

    “Doctor Doom’ Says US Dollar Reign Is Ending (RT) “

    Yes, but it falls LAST. But even the Euro hasn’t collapsed yet, Euro banks and European politics, and all that will take some time. They are wrong about the Yuan, if it’s even the Chinese goal which I doubt, the world doesn’t need ANY reserve currency. It’s not an economic requirement, it’s just a symbol of empire. Probably one would appear of some sort, but for the time we are in a “MultiPolar World” there cannot be one, as that is the #Opposite of MultiPolar. It’s enough that the US$ becomes one of many, and its privilege is erased.

    “Welcome to the [Debt] Death Spiral (John Rubino) “

    Never seems to matter though. Like Covid it’s all a matter of belief and they’ll believe anything rather than change, it seems.

    “A stunning percentage of those young people without children now never intend to have them.”

    As above, direct genocidal attack on their own people, approved by everyone. Closing the collapse gap with the Soviet Union and for the same reason: we are a centrally planned Soviet State. Life expediencies dropped 10y in USSR? We can beat that, We’re #1!

    Soviet, what? You exaggerate in Capitalist-run America. What did he just say? There are no free markets in America and no free market pricing. Nothing is “Capitalist” when there are no markets and no “market economy.”

    I don’t see how Steyn can be responsible for the network, but if so it will change contract law sharply in this new era. And remember, they are the Kings of retroactively “finding” things you said a lifetime ago then prosecuting it. No one is safe. You’re Next.

    “the once highest-paid federal U.S. government employee is charging up to $100,000 for speaking engagements.”

    What good does his money do him? “Do you feel in charge now?” Reminds me of the old saying “These guys won’t be able to walk down the street.” Like Moosilini. All of Congress, now with $1M more of my money separating them from me. (It’s not enough)

    Reminds me: since I can walk into the house of the Congressional Speaker, 3rd in Line, What was going on with ol’ Paul? When I apologized, I wasn’t giving him a free pass, just that the camera showed his very weird statements were true. What probably happened was they are in fact gay lovers. But walk 10 miles in the rain with a backpack and break in just because of a bad breakup? Even for a crazy guy? How about this: Pepe was the guy in the car with Pelosi’s DWI. After a sex-n-drug bender, probably with underage. Nancy pays him $10,000 to shut up about it. But being Nancy Pelosi, then refuses to pay. Pepe can’t get ahold of her, Paul says “he doesn’t have the money” as he’s obeying locking out the peasants and pissants because Nancy’s mad about the exposure, not the sex, drugs, or kids, and would kill him. Pepe then decides to f’ing camp out at the house to make his point. That’s why they were calling “Capital Police” to find her. That’s why Pepe wasn’t worried because they’d never dare exposure.

    But he said “don’t f with me or I’ll hit you with a hammer.” Paul f’d with him, the police showed up, and when he realized he was about to get tagged, he therefore hit him with the hammer. Which is keeping your word, better than 99% of other Americans around here, although that was a dumb plan from a dumb person.

    Moral: if you’re going to screw over gay lovers, this is what you get. The DNC approves of destroying all vulnerable gay men as a matter of course to protect rich, powerful CIS heteronormative white guys. It’s what they do.™

    That’s just a crazy myth, which is why it is reported by the WSJ for decades.

    “MTG gave it a good go, [with questioning] but she will get nowhere with this,”

    She should cut off funding, refer charges. Since the DoJ only harasses political opponents since 1900, she can refer them to her state Attorney General. Will she? No because no one is serous yet. A clown country cannot take anything seriously. They would rather die.

    “The other advantage of the war is that the monitoring of spending evaporates and money suddenly starts moving to the great reset projects.”

    Yes, the system is collapsing of compounding interest, LeGuard had it so Powell would obey the WEF, pile on ESG, print the required $100 Trillion, and keep the transition. Powell said “I don’t see that in my Congressional mandate anywhere” and she choked a hairball on camera. If the Fed “disinflates” they collapse. They were doing this that caused the seizure in Sept 2019, “Then a miracle happened”. Powell has to obey Congress, and picked up again after. Then the WEF started the $150B (Official) war. I believe it is this (unlimited) money that is propping them up still, although the Fed is still tightening and the Pentagon is giving no (real) weapons. Still, it’s not tight enough to break them, they are no doubt human trafficking the Ukrainian women in the confusion as well as the Arms. We’re at a standoff for now with pressures on both sides. Powell doesn’t want to hike and get blamed. Putin doesn’t want to sweep over and get blamed. “It’s not who wins or loses but where you place the blame.” They all need the “Right People” to get blamed.

    They will not throw everything at China as they do not want nuclear war,”

    I don’t see how we could have ANY war with China that isn’t immediately essentially nuclear. We’d shoot them with what? Point our 9MM Sig over the Taiwan Straits? As with the Abe article, clearly the intended for Japan to be sucked in and fight China to the last man over Taiwan. That still wouldn’t take long and it still would go “nuclear”, fast. Maybe with balloon bio-spraying the nation to extinction in 30 days. Why not?

    He told me he’s had “bronchitis for 5 weeks, and I can’t get rid of it”.
    He confirmed that he was “boosted”.

    Military Op from the get go.

    In a time of war, it is far better to severely wound, debilitate and incapacitate the enemy than simply kill them.
    It consumes far more resources.
    Doing it slowly, over time, with multiple modes of biological attack is even better.

    The death-vaxxed are bodies on the battle field – and they don’t even know it.

    Bullshit indeed, but the comments below the line are hilarious. Last time I looked there was almost universal disbelief at the garbage propounded within the article itself.

    Seems like critical mass has been reached where people feel able to call out the Covid BS without fear of being buried under a great steaming pile of Pro-Vax comments. There just aren’t as many Vax Fanatics out there, ready to leap to the defence of the official narrative as there used to be.

    Today’s blog title is a pun, “Latypova Iceberg” https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/latypova-iceberg

    A lot of today’s content is provided by Sasha Latypova, with a high level Pharmaceutical manufacturing background, and more from links she has provided.
    The “unsinkable” control-narrative of global elites has hit an iceberg of cold facts. The band on deck continues to play waltzes, but not everybody is dancing.

    ​ ​How the US gov’t built a shadow structure that enabled COVID vax ‘bioterrorism’​ , Sasha Latypova​
    ​ ​‘Congress and U.S. Presidents legalized and funded the overthrow of the U.S. Constitution… through a massive domestic bioterrorism program relabeled as a public health program… on behalf of the World Health Organization and its financial backers,’ writes legal researcher Katherine Watt.
    ​ ​Editor’s Note: This article is the fourth of a series on the role of the U.S. government in orchestrating a bioterrorism attack upon their own citizens utilizing “biowarfare agents” marketed as “COVID-19 vaccines.” The prior three articles can be accessed here, here, and here. ​
    ​ With exceptional detail and comprehensiveness, a paralegal researcher and journalist from Pennsylvania has documented the extensive “pseudo-legal” structures put in place over decades which allowed the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to execute its “COVID-19 vaccine” bioterrorism attack upon its own citizens, killing and maiming many thousands with complete impunity.

    The Federal Reserve Cartel – Eight Families own the USA #BIS, IMF, World Bank​ , Herland Report, linked by Sasha Latypova
    ​ ​They are the Goldman Sachs, Rockefellers, Lehmans and Kuhn Loebs of New York; the Rothschilds of Paris and London;
    the Warburgs of Hamburg; the Lazards of Paris; and the Israel Moses Seifs of Rome.
    ​ ​Many of the bank’s stockholders reside in Europe.
    ​ ​The US government had a historical distrust of BIS, lobbying unsuccessfully for its demise at the 1944 post-WWII Bretton Woods Conference.
    Instead the Eight Families’ power was exacerbated, with the Bretton Woods creation of the IMF and the World Bank.

    Why Are They Doing It?
    “Going Direct Reset” explained by Catherine Austin Fitts​
    “Why is DOD (US Government, all Western globalist governments) acting against the people, killing and injuring the population”? The answer is largely in the creation of money. This story is not about how much money someone has right now, it is about who can make more of it at any time. The US Government and its Department of Defense specifically cannot account for around $21+ trillion as of several years ago…
    ..Importantly for the “owners” (of the money source), this is also about the restructuring of their out-of-whack balance sheet, i.e. the out-of-control liabilities. This is not only about the retirees in the Western countries that have been lulled into fat stupor by promises of socialist utopia, although obviously, they are a large group of creditors. Every person regardless of age is a “claim on assets” in the form of usage of the dollar supply (or whatever succeeds the dollar). Incidentally, that’s why the push for life expectancy curtailing “vaccinations” is so massive in the West and seems much less so in Africa (they are not worth that much per head in dollar terms).
    ​ ​The current war on the people is part of the restructuring that the globalist “owners” (owners of the central banks) are attempting – going direct reset and attempted CBDCs. This is also the fight over whose fake digital token is going to be the “global reserve”, and so we have the US fighting the Euro zone and Russia and China in various stages of economic/bioterrorism warfare progressing to kinetic war. While Russia and China and the Euros are also frantically restructuring their balance sheets by murdering and terrorizing their own citizenry.
    ​ ​In order to succeed the owners need to install a global system of totalitarian control through various technological surveillance means, reduce the population, and utterly impoverish and terrorize the survivors. I personally believe they will not succeed because they do not have the tech they claim (they lie about that a lot) and will not be able to bridge it in time before the situation totally unravels.

    On the Question of Social Security as “Entitlement”​ , Sasha Latypova​
    ​ ​Don’t shoot me or be disappointed in me, I am only a messenger… I grew up in the country where many things were guaranteed by the government, a very large, very powerful one that still owns 1/6 of the Earth surface, and vast, vast resources that come with it. Anyhow, the government lasted 70+ years, had great technological achievements, won a major war, was in many ways quite formidable. The following things were absolutely, definitively, 100% guaranteed and absolutely free because all of us “paid into the system” by our collective earnest labor:
    Free education, including higher education;
    Employment;
    Childcare;
    Housing;
    Medical care (and dental!);
    Retirement!!!
    Other ancillary benefits like vacation places (modest, but hey, free stuff!)
    ​ ​Until none of this became available. In a matter of DAYS. I am not kidding or exaggerating.
    ​ ​What happened to the retirees that were counting on those retirement benefits? Nothing over dramatic but they died. My grandparents and other people’s family members, they simply could not comprehend what happened to all the stuff they believed so hard in and worked for, and they gave up and were no more.
    ​ ​If you think this cannot happen to you, you are a fool. That’s my message. Whether it is called “entitlement” or “I deserve it because I paid into the system” –
    ​ ​ I don’t know. The people who have already stolen it from you do not care what it is called.

    Meryl Nass MD, ​ (So much of medicine lies in using what is discovered to work. Once a medicine is “approved” for one indication, it is almost never put through the long and expensive process to approve it to treat another condition that it has been found to treat well. There’s no payout to justify the expensive studies.)
    The FDA Succeeded in Interfering with the Practice of Medicine/ WSJ Op-Ed
    A little-noticed provision of the omnibus spending bill gave the agency power to ban off-label use of approved therapies.

    ​Letters From The Underworld, Sasha Latypova​
    In late 2020 a collection of documents – approximately 900 pages from Pfizer’s “vaccine” Chemistry Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) section of the regulatory submission to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) were leaked and sent to a number of journalists. The documents also included email exchanges from some of the reviewers and senior executives at the EMA. The leak was covered in the British Medical Journal who were able to confirm that the documents were authentic. I received these documents from a colleague about a year later, at the end of 2021, and I read and used a lot of them in my analyses. I have seen many R&D related documents from Pfizer in my professional work, so I can also confirm that these leaked ones were highly consistent with typical Pfizer documentation. The EMA did not deny the authenticity…
    ​..​Here are the emails indicating that the Major Objections were formally written up and subsequently disregarded by the EMA since the product was shipped commercially just a couple of weeks later. The conditions of the CMA were never fulfilled.
    ​ ​This confirms what we already know – neither the EMA (nor the FDA, Health Canada, MHRA or other regulators) had any real authority over these products or impact on whether they were going to be deployed on unsuspecting public. It was all theater from start to finish..​.
    ..I counted approximately 70 different individuals mentioned throughout the leaked document and emails, who facilitated this tragic charade – the “approval” of of the most lethal product ever unleashed on the largest number of people, resulting in unprecedented death and injury toll worldwide. Perhaps, with a few exceptions, most of them were deceived in 2020 and did not understand that they were participating in a war crime and signing off on a deadly fraud. I believe most of them do know by now, I hope they are sufficiently horrified at what they have enabled, and I hope these people step forward as whistleblowers and start talking.

    ​ ​How to nullify criticism of the vaccines​ , ​A World Health Organisation guide
    ​ ​The document, titled Vaccine Crisis Communication Manual – a step-by-step guidance for national immunization programmes, was produced in 2022 by the WHO European office with the stated aim of supporting countries ‘in effectively responding to events which may erode the public’s trust in vaccines and authorities that deliver them’. The manual offers detailed recommendations about how those in authority should respond to a ‘vaccine crisis’ (defined as any occurrence that ‘will most likely or has already eroded public trust in vaccines … and may create uncertainty’). The explicit, overarching goal is to ‘rebuild trust in vaccines’.

    “Neo-Nazi Couple Arrested For Alleged Plot To ‘Completely Destroy’ Baltimore”

    This has all the makings of a FBI entrapment/false flag operation.

    No one knows who has been shooting at electric substations but most have occurred in relatively rural or suburban areas. Never letting lack of knowledge get in the way, a news report this week and posted on Drudge reported that “experts” believed it was white extremists/supremacists. Really? Why would white supremacists want to disrupt electricity distribution? Why isn’t it extremist leftists eco-terrorists who want to bring an end to our use of fossil fuels?

    Lo and behold, mere days afterwards, we have a breaking story that two white supremacists want to shut down Baltimore’s electricity – a whole city, with lots and lots of black people in it! Imagine! OMG, the threat is real!

    The Feds are prepping some new initiatives with this, G+d knows what they are, but I doubt we will have to wait long to find out.

    The ancient power grid is the Achilles’ heel of the digital surveillance and control grid, including any planned rollout and use of CBDCs. Apparently production time for replacement of large transformers is about 2 years, and no one in the US makes them. Har! Western Civ: We just figure out how to skim off existing gigs, we don’t actually incur the costs of maintaining the goose that lays the golden eggs!

    The other heel of Achilles is the production of semiconductors, largely centralized in Taiwan, which have to be replaced every so often. Google says the average life span of semiconductors is 3 years, which is obvious BS, I’ve been using the same desktop for five, the cheapo simple ones in my car have been going for years and years, so it’s probably closer to 10 years.

    The cost to harden all significant substations and production facilities would cost billions, you wonder what’s stopping them since they conjure billions overnight for aid to Ukraine, but as noted above, we don’t take care of anything, our politicos, multinationals and oligarchs just ride the wave of skimming off of whatever there is.

    Maybe they want some PR cover to go bust heads of uppity white people who aren’t buying the NWO, let them eat bugs plans they have for us. Who know? Time will tell.

    ​ ​Escalation to World War III and the British establishment​ (More about the “owners”. Thanks Eleni.)
    ​ ​UK’s leading establishment figures are gung-ho promoting World War III. What’s behind the agenda?
    ​ ​To be sure, we are not talking about the actions by British people or the legitimate institutions of their government. Rather, we are talking about a cabal that has operated British secret diplomacy and intelligence agencies in pursuit of the imperial agenda. Its objective is conquest and subjugation of nations for the benefit of the banking cartel based in the City of London and on Wall Street, and to the detriment of everyone else, at home and abroad.​..
    ​ ​The real war is people vs. the banks, and it is now
    ​ ​To prevent another great war from breaking out in Europe, we must clearly identify the prime movers behind the escalation of hostilities and their motives: they are the networks of the empire’s vested interests, and the ultimate beneficiaries of war and subjugation of other nations. When we trace the system of incentives that catalyzes wars all the way to their origins, they invariably lead to the international banking cartel.
    ​ ​The fact that Britain is the host to the financial parasite that is the City of London, and that she is incurably hostile to Russia, is not a coincidence. British establishment’s obsession with destroying Russia is today the most dangerous force facing humanity, capable ultimately of ending it. As Lord Acton said, “The issue that has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the people versus the banks.”

    Jim Kunstler sort of reviews Dmitry Orlov’s book:
    I commend to you Dmitry Orlov’s seminal work, Reinventing Collapse: The Soviet Experience and American Prospects, Revised & Updated. For anyone out there not paying attention the past thirty-odd years, Russia, incorporated as the Soviet Union, collapsed in 1991. The USSR was a bold experiment based on the peculiar and novel ill-effects of industrialism, especially gross economic inequality. Alas, the putative remedy for that, advanced by Karl Marx, was a despotic system of pretending that individual humans had no personal aspirations of their own.
    The Soviet / Marxist business model was eventually reduced to the comic aphorism: We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us. It failed and the USSR gurgled down history’s drain.
    ​ ​Russia reemerged from the dust, minus many of its Eurasian outlands. Remarkably little blood was shed in the process. Mr. Orlov’s book points to some very interesting set-ups that softened the landing. There was no private property in the USSR, so when it collapsed, nobody was evicted or foreclosed from where they lived. Very few people had cars in the USSR, so the city centers were still intact and people could get around on buses, trams, and trains. The food system had been botched for decades by low-incentive collectivism, but the Russian people were used to planting family gardens — even city dwellers, who had plots out-of-town — and it tided them over during the years of hardship before the country managed to reorganize.
    Compare that to America’s prospects. In an economic crisis, Americans will have their homes foreclosed out from under them, or will be subject to eviction from rentals. The USA has been tragically built-out on a suburban sprawl template that will be useless without cars and with little public transport. Cars, of course, are subject to repossession for non-payment of contracted loans. The American food system is based on manufactured microwavable cheese snacks, chicken nuggets, and frozen pizzas produced by giant companies. These items can’t be grown in home gardens. Many Americans don’t know the first thing about growing their own food, or what to do with it after it’s harvested.

    ​ Cynthia Chung explores the history of Fascism as the preferred governance form of Central Banking, through the world wars and the intervening financial crises in Europe​, which facilitated the rise of hypnotic fascist leaders in times of national fear and crisis. She then follows the British Empire as embodied in the City of London, and satellite financial power centers, as well as their action centers, the IMF and World Bank. Shinzo Abe was a skilled Japanese nationalist diplomat and politician who did not want to sacrifice Japan to the globalist plans.
    Why Shinzo Abe Was Assassinated: Towards a ‘United States of Europe’ and a League of Nations​
    This is not an unexpected outcome for Japan but has been in the works for the last 50 years as a policy outlook of the Trilateral Commission (though is not limited to this institution). It is in fact the League of Nations’ vision that has been on the wish list of those who began WWI in hopes that the world would accept a one world government of regionalisations in service to an empire. It is what orchestrated the Great Depression to again attempt an implementation of a League of Nations outlook through the rise of a “National Socialist” brand of fascism seen in Italy and Germany (which would not have been possible without an economic crisis). And it was what launched a Second World War in a desperate attempt to forcefully implement such a vision onto the world…
    ..Count Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi would write in his other autobiography “An Idea Conquers the World”:
    “The use of mass hypnotism for propaganda purposes is most successful at times of crisis. When National Socialism made its bid for power, millions of Germans had been thrown completely off their balance: middle-class families had sunk to the level of the proletariat, whilst working-class families were without work. The Third Reich became the last hope for the stranded, of those who had lost their social status, and of those rootless beings who were seeking a new basis for an existence that had become meaningless…
    ..“The [Trilateral] commission was co-founded in July of 1973 by David Rockefeller, Zbigniew Brzezinski and a group of American, European and Japanese bankers, public officials and academics including Alan Greenspan and Paul Volcker. It was set up to foster close cooperation among nations that constituted the three-block architecture of today’s western empire. That ‘close cooperation’ was intended as the very foundation of the empire’s ‘three block agenda,’ as formulated by the stewards of the undead British Empire.”
    Its formation would be organised by Britain’s hand in America, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), (aka: the offspring of the Royal Institute for International Affairs, the leading think tank for the British Crown).
    On Nov 9th, 1978, Trilateral Commission member Paul Volcker (Federal Reserve Chairman from 1979-1987) would affirm at a lecture delivered at Warwick University in England: “A controlled disintegration in the world economy is a legitimate object for the 1980s.” This is also the ideology that has shaped Milton Friedman’s “Shock Therapy”.
    In 1975 the CFR launched a public study of global policy titled the 1980’s Project. The general theme was “controlled disintegration” of the world economy, and the report did not attempt to hide the famine, social chaos, and death its policy would bring upon most of the world’s population.
    ..The reality of the situation is that no nation is expected to survive this stand-off.
    It is not about the western bloc against the eastern bloc. It is about the ruination of all nations and the formation of one empire, or if you prefer the wording, one world government. Again, this is the League of Nations vision that has been the wet dream of a very small grouping since the First World War. https://thesaker.is/why-shinzo-abe-was-assassinated-towards-a-united-states-of-europe-and-a-league-of-nations/

    ​ Thanks Eleni: ​Indian refiners ditch dollar to pay for Russian oil in UAE dirhams
    ​ ​Indian refiners and traders are concerned they may not be able to continue to settle trades in dollars, especially if the price of Russian crude rises above a cap imposed by the Group of Seven nations and Australia in December.
    ​ ​That has led traders to seek alternative methods of payment, which could also aid Russia’s efforts to de-dollarise its economy in response to the Western sanctions.
    ​ ​Previous attempts by Indian refiners to pay traders for Russian crude in dirhams through Dubai banks failed, forcing them to switch back to the U.S. currency.
    ​ ​But India’s top bank, the State Bank of India (SBI), is now clearing these dirham payments, the sources told Reuters, providing details of transactions that have not previously been reported.
    ​ ​The SBI, which has overseas branches including in the United States, did not respond to requests for comment.

    Why Wealth, Fame and Power Are A Bait & Switch Con

    No matter how much food you have, or how good it tastes, you can only eat one meal.

    No matter how far you go or how fast you got there, wherever you are you are still just there.

    No matter how many rooms you own, you can only be in one of them.

    No matter how luxurious your surroundings you can only experience what you can perceive and evaluate.

    No matter the amount of fame you desire the fame you receive can never exceed the amount of fame that you truly believe is deservedly yours. Other people have got nothing to do with it, because they can’t do your believing for you.

    No matter how powerful others contribute to making you powerful personally, your personal power consists only of what you yourself have the power to do.

    No matter how long you live you are only as alive as you’re actually living.

    re: 15 minute cities

    Why can they never think of anything to do FOR people, to make it fun, awesome, convenient, helpful? Always a punishment.

    I remember coming across Spanish superblocks and being excited – they’re really doing it! Modifying cities to make people happier and just as a consequence, driving less… but no, then I found articles of people protesting what was happened. Various heavy-handed stupidities being forced top-down on inhabitants.

    This stupid utopian city (below) a Billionaire is planning. Gonna be 5 million people, they say. We’re going to have 15 minute neighborhoods. 5 minute.

    Gah. How big is an urban area 15 minutes walking time across? 5mph x 0.25hr = 1.25mi.

    Okay, and given half a century, you STILL can’t figure out how to create individual 1.25-3mi 15 minute neighborhoods where people actually live? Can’t make it work anywhere? Can’t just build them out in a cellular fashion, with the first ones showing such success (for the people living there) that everyone demands to adopt them? MONKEYS can universally adopt washing radiation-poisoned fruit because it works, but nowhere have billionaires done such a competent proof of concept that everyone is convinced and adopting it?

    No, we must all hold hands and do it together for it to work for the first time. We want small 1.25-3mi neighborhoods so therefore we need universal top-down centralized control and giant projects. We’ll force it instead of making it work first.

    no, no, don’t build a new utopia in the ruins of Detroit with tons of trees and permaculture. Build another Phoenix in the desert. (ever see Tank Girl?)

    Ron Unz.com lost the plot beneath his unsuccessfully hidden contempt for “anti-vaxxers”. It’s interesting Unz et al accuse the anti-vaxxers of the same hysteria and hyperbole that the covidiots like Taleb, Fauci, Birx, Gottlieb employed to promote the non-crisis from its inception. Why wouldn’t they expect folks to fight fire with fire? Is it the psychopath’s total lack of insight?

    Ukraine – summary from various things I’ve read in the Open Ukraine thread at MoonofAlabama, zerohedge comments, etc

    –There are Russian forces reportedly fighting IN Bakmut
    –some progress nearby – villages taken, claimed mini-kettle encirclement forming (locations mentioned – Artyomovsk, Krasnaya Gora – earlier posts indicated fighting for them, most recent claim taken and that only a few dirt tracks now give communication to Bakhmut, so they are claiming it is effectively kettled it seems)
    –vague noises about Ukraine using chemical weapons?
    –several recent failed recent attempts by Ukraine to attack across the lower Dneipr?
    –more stuff about women, 16-17 year old boys being conscripted?
    –small-arrow attacks and increased artillery along a wide front? “Artillery duels are taking place along the entire line of contact”
    –a claimed failed missile attack on Moscow armed with a large antipersonnel warhead?
    –drone factory in Latvia mysteriously catches fire

    All rather pro Russion sources, so keep that in mind.

    I would guess the reason for Western heavy equipment coming in dribs and drabs is that it isn’t really a matter of limited equipment being sent, but volunteers being found to operate it.

    double-checking sitreps from yesterday on south front, when fighting for Ivanovskoye & Krasnaya Gora were reported – which occupy the southwestern and northern access to Bakhmut – it is conceivable that the virtual-encirclement rumor is true. Maps show them very close yesterday. No new sitreps for today yet. Quite a lot of area behind Bakhmut that would still be under Ukranian control, but apparently just farmland, not seeing anything like decent road or rail from the satellite map when I pan around.

    Wow, so they may be finally moving past Bakhmut. Took quite a while. Longer than Alexander took to change Tyre from an island into a peninsula.

    If true, Ukraine has the same problem the French had with Verdun. Germans studied their US Civil War and thus understood WW1 was a railroad war. They hacked off every route into the fortress complex except a single small-scale narrow-gauge line. Just enough to keep the French from leaving Verdun, not enough to supply an attack out of Verdun (the main purpose in creating the fortified region in the first place)

    Russia has not even engaged the main body of it’s 500,000 force. All the main fighting has been done so far with Wagner (50,000+) and the Chechans and Spetsnaz and select paratroopers.

    The Ukronazis and the Empire of Lies Pimps have not even seen the main Russian force in action yet.

    The Russians have gotten this far with just their ‘special forces’.

    The Big Lie that Russia ever engaged in ‘human wave’ assaults during WWII is pure bullshit.

    They very methodically ground down the Wehrmacht and their over rated tanks.

    The Russians by going slow and grinding the Ukronazi bastards down incrementally, don’t produce a giant PR reaction in the Collective West because they have the attention span of small rodents.

    Big Arrow offensives produce Big Arrow PR reactions. Something to avoid.

    Now Napoleon came into Russia with about 480,000 men in early autumn.

    Three months later he struggled across the Polish border with 20,000 men.

    Lost 460,000 men in three months.

    Not even the Ukronazis are that incompetent.

    As Gonzalo Lira puts it, the Russians art form is War and they are very good at it.

    Not perfect, but way better than the ‘Collective West’

    @ John Day​The real war is people vs. the banks, and it is now

    The real war has been between the banks and the people since banks invented fractional reserve banking and charging interest on money that does not exist. For all practical purposes that commenced in the late seventeenth century.

    So-called governments in western nations are simply agents of the banks, politicians being paid to lie continuously to the masses (as are bureaucrats). Economists are the professional liars who invented fake systems to justify and promote looting and polluting the Earth to keep the Ponzi scheme going.

    Therefore, the general populace is at war with all of them -banks, politicians, bureaucrats, economists. And the banks enforcers, the police and private security companies, whose job is to protect the bankers and their agents.

    That said, the politicians, bureaucrats and economists have been playing mind games for such a long time they believe their own bullshit. And the bulk of the uneducated, uncurious populace believes the same bullshit. So they don’t know who the real enemy is. Probably never will.

    It all makes it very easy for the controllers of ‘advanced western [fake] democracies’ to keep promoting the short-term interests of the banks above everything else and to keep lying to the masses until the who fake system collapses.

    Then they will lie about the reason it all collapsed.

    With regard to the temperature graph covering hundreds of millions of years, I wonder what proxies were used to estimate the temperature at various points of time, since there are no actual temperature records before around 1650.

    Whatever the proxies were, we can be pretty sure that by desequestering enough of the ancient carbon via the burning of coal, oil and natural gas, and by converting limestone into cement, industrial humans will rapidly increase the average temperature of the Earth by 3oC-to-8oC, whatever fake systems of ‘carbon trading’, electric cars, biofuels, ‘hydrogen economy’ or any other of the utter nonsense promoted by the bankers and their agents gets implemented between now and when it all collapses.

    AFKTT wrote (and Michael Hudson argues that it’s way older than that)
    “The real war has been between the banks and the people since banks invented fractional reserve banking and charging interest on money that does not exist. For all practical purposes that commenced in the late seventeenth century.”

    Hudson argues that “good news” meant debt-jubilee in the time of Jesus. Governments, which had declared periodic elimination of all debts in the past, had been falling to creditor-regimes, as had happened not long before in Egypt and quite recently (then) in Greece. Galilee was essentially a Greek speaking town in those days. Some of the Jews did not know Hebrew, and were looked down upon.

    what’s an Anoxic Event?
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anoxic_event

    massive amounts of methane hydrate (the stuff Glomar Explorer was supposedly prospecting for) got released, heating the Earth about as much as you could expect it to ever be overheated by atmospheric gasses

    some major planetary ones are:

    Cenomanian-Turonian boundary event
    Jurassic-Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event
    Permian–Triassic extinction event

    What do you see before and after on Earth – massive amounts of life before and after.

    These are bigger events than you envision and look at the results. Or this is the type of event you envision in which case look at the results. The planet covered with life.
