Collateral damages are unavoidable.
Peace will arise from the rubble of destruction.
The world, (WEST/NATO), is disarming. It is shipping armaments, ammunition and fanatic war mongers to Ukraine for destruction and recycling.Floods occur primarily in flood plains. They’re called flood plains because millions of years of seasonal flooding creates plains. Flood plains become very very wet when flooded. If you don’t like being wet then don’t go to or live in or build on a flood plain. If you don’t mind taking your chances (because there are many advantages to living there, too. Like ample water and fertile soil) then go for it & good luck to you and yours.
P.S.
I have experienced up close and personal TWO such events (even got my ugly mug in the local Daily AND the N.Y. Times because I looked so pathetically flooded) . I rather enjoyed the whole thing, even though it cost me about $20 Grand and was REALLY hard work !! It floods. There is a great photo op for the media. It goes away. Life goes on.Historical Mind Fuckery:
Our masters keep imposing new laws and taxation burdens to better control us.
People often wonder when will this break and come to an end?
I think of what happened to Rome.
Rome’s masters did exactly the same thing.
They constantly increased the burden of taxes and laws on productive people.Then one day Rome supposedly fell
However the next day Rome was still there.
So what really fell then?
The burdens of supporting all of Rome’s laws and taxation!
Do you think it is possible life in Rome might have improved for productive people there after?Did the barbarians really cause Rome to fall?
Or did civilization drive out the barbarians out of Rome?
Just asking!I think you just hit the nail smack on its head.

According to CDC, WHO, because China ended, zero covid, means 100% of China will get covid-19, before end of jan., because they got no immunity, (even though it has been replaced by omicron variant 1.5 which give a drippy nose), and the next epidemic will come from China.“Could we have some anecdotal comments of hope?”

It’s clear that the ladies, adorned with fine clothing (and parasols to protect their complexion from the harsh sun), were not there to receive instruction, but to observe the curiosity of a man living in a jar. His reality and character were light years from the follies and vanities of his curiosity seekers.
It’s hard to know who the man really was based on the limited anecdotal evidence that has been passed down, but I’m guessing he could give anyone’s egoistic house of cards a thorough thrashing and have it begging for mercy.
Luckily, we’ve outgrown the primeval days of ancient Greece, where wisdom schools competed with one another in attempts to find the surest path to a sterling and indestructible character. Today, the best minds are trained in ivy league schools on how to program supercomputers to front-run and spoof trading on Wall St exchanges. To commit fraud and plunder the less connected. We’ve come a long way, baby.
Poor Diogenes, he would’ve starved to death in D.C., and then shot in the head to ensure that no more embarrassing truths escaped his lips…Think Julian Assange.

“Could we have some anecdotal comments of hope?
Never forget that hope was the greatest of the curses of Pandora’s Box.
Hope: the irrational desire for outcomes that do not match current circumstances or reality, and often with respect to matters we have no control over.
Hope: a psychological method for avoiding action that can change circumstances.

Planetary Overheating causes Climate Instability and wild extremes of weather.
That’s why Planetary Overheating is so dangerous.
Been thinking a bit more about this weird phenomenon that has manifested on TAE.
If it’s to do with ‘vaccines’, participants are really keen on scientific data, scientific analysis and scientific conclusions.
But if it’s to do with Planetary Overheating via CO2 emissions, the same people attempt to discredit scientific data and scientific analysis and attempt to tear-down scientific conclusions.
Weird beyond belief.
But there’s nowt queer as folks.
Schumacher argues [in A Guide for the Perplexed, 1977] that the evolutionist doctrine starts with the perfectly reasonable explanation of change in living beings, and then jumps to using it as an explanation for the development of consciousness, self-awareness, language, social institutions and the origin of life itself. Schumacher points out that making this conceptual leap simply does not meet the standards of scientific rigor and the uncritical acceptance of this leap is, for Schumacher, completely unscientific..”
It’s admirable to admit uncertainty, especially these days, when there is so little of it around. I wonder what flora thinks.
Excessive combustion of fossil fuels of all kinds is already the least of humankind’s problems, and is about to become no problem at all.
@AFKTT
That seems the wrong way around to me.
All it is scepticism at proposed human intervention in complex systems to solve an apparent problem, where the intervention might make things worse or may not be needed at all. Or the apparent problem is being used to push other things through.
Problem – proposed solution- skepticism
Global warming -‘green’ energy, techno utopia etc – are we sure about all this?
COVID 19 – Gene therapy – are we sure about all this?
If you’re merely standing in the town square shouting about the end times, good for you, but it’s not helpful to anyone else. Stand witness to your apocalypse I suppose. The rest will get on with life.

@russellnblbs: “That seems the wrong way around to me.”
You nailed it.
Afewknowthetruth commented today:
However, when it comes to atmospheric CO2, they go into reverse mode and declare thatiindependent researchers who point out there is censorship and lies must be wrong, and in the latest twist to their distorted logic, even declare that the data, i.e. the actual atmospheric CO2 numbers reported, are fake!
As already commented, Afewknowthetruth had prior commented
If I were to speak totally literally I would have to say more than 90% of what The Empire of Lies say and does is fake or fraudulent or fabricated. The 10% that is not fraudulent/fake/fabricated is more-or-less insignificant.
This was Afewknowthetruth’s response to my observation that when Afewknowthetruth links us to the “actual data” he intends for us to use to infer the truth of Planetary Meltdown, he is linking us to websites managed by institutions funded and maintained and supported by The Empire of Lies.
So, here we are yet again with a curious thing. It is Afewknowthetruth who is telling us that The Empire of Lies is 90% lying to us (after having told us that everything, all of it, is fabricated, false, and fake, he modified this upon challenge) and the other 10% is insignificant. How else are we supposed to take this, if he’s speaking totally literally? Yet, it is Afewknowthetruth who is declaring the data is fake (or insignificant) while also citing that data for us, and then accusing others of being the ones who are calling the data fake.
Cake: hold it in one hand, eat in the other.
The “opposition” to the curious events of the last three years provide explanations of them that are *way* too tidy and image-happy, while not even suggesting organized, real opposition to those events.
When’s the last time you’ve read one of their diatribes that ends with something like “contact me here so we can collectively do something, if we’re in substantive agreement”? I know someone who *did* do that. IOW, their stuff is stultifying doom-porn from yet another angle- as if there was not enough of that stuff on the darpaNet already.
cui bono?
’tis strange.

“The opportunity to settle the conflict “will only present itself once Ukraine stops posing a threat to Russia and discriminating against Russian-speaking Ukrainians,” he said.
Nebenzia noted that “if this result can be achieved through negotiations, we stand ready for this scenario. If not – then our tasks will be achieved by military means.”
Full mobilisation and another year or so to get their shit together might get them back the annexed territory but is that the “end ” of it . Probably not. Good thing Putin , like Merkel has not allowed any other possible leader to emerge or he would be shown the door. There is only Medvedev and he is a Putin clone and bootlicker so it won’t be him. You know Medvedev is the only one who has survived right through from Putin’s election , obviously he is a sycophant.
Humanity Enlightenment argued who owned God. Now we argue who owns Science. IF AI goes far enough, will we argue who owns GodScience?
I notice how most thematically opposed discussion fades from the subject to the manners of its discussants. We seem better at identifying each other’s hypocriticisms than we are at separating fact from fictions.
Lost in his Carbon Cult religiosity, AFKTT simply seems unwilling to recognize that his precious standard-narrative climate “science” is as willfully corrupt and incompetent as the standard-narrative “vaccine science.” Both are terminally politicized, and both have ben falsified by genuine, legitimate, actual-factual scientific refutation. Both are an integral part of the fear-mongering (etc.) manipulations he so abhors.
Every “factoid” AFKTT offers in support of his dogma is either irrelevant, trivial, nugatory, based on false premises, or just flat wrong. Yet he persists in his folly, and demolishes his credibility with ad hominem rhetoric.
Perhaps he is neurotically hungry for something, anything, anything at all, to believe in.
Sad…AFKTT:
First, I agree with most of the same things you do, so we are more a like than different.
I worked in coal mines all over the world building large electric mining equipment.
So I should be considered TAE’s biggest climate change sinner by far!
I don’t think anyone else on TAE even comes close!I come from a cold country called Canada, so naturally I am interested in global warming.
I hate being cold.
Just 15,000 years ago both my house and cottage were buried under a mile of ice.
So I think it is in my best interests to ensure this ice doesn’t come back anytime soon.
Now after 69 years, I am getting a little tired of waiting for global warming to show up!
Actually, I sort of have given up that I will ever see global warming in my lifetime, despite my best efforts.However, your talking about rising CO2 levels, has given me a sliver of renewed hope!
So I am secretly hoping you are right!
So whenever I can, I am creating as much CO2 as I can, even though it isn’t much these days, as I am old.As an ex-coal miner, amoung other career sins, can you explain how all those thick coal seams that I mined, came to exist?
Surely there must have an awful lot of CO2 back then to create all these coal seams?US Army Vet From Iowa Rats Out Ukrainian Corruption
From Larry Johnson’s blog:
“Meet Ryan O’Leary. He currently is in the Bakhmut area of operations fighting under the command of Ukrainian officers. Mr. O’Leary is not happy. He is a 34 year old alumni of Carroll High School in Iowa and a National Guard veteran who served in Afghanistan and Iraq,
Ryan O’Leary reports that his unit is undermanned and lacking in heavy weapons because “they’ve gone missing.” In other words, the weapons are being sold on the black market. O’Leary blames the logistics problems on the corrupt, criminal behavior of his Ukrainian chain of command — from the Major General to his Captain. He specifically calls out a Captain Baroda, noting that Baroda traffics in a host of illegal narcotics.”
Larry figures he signed his own death sentence from utterly corrupt Ukronazi gangsters

He did not seek to eliminate modern technology or technique but sought to change our perception of modern technology and technique to that of a tool rather than regulator of the status quo. Among his most influential books are The Technological Society and Propaganda: The Formation of Men’s Attitudes.
Considered by many a philosopher, Ellul was trained as a sociologist, and approached the question of technology and human action from a dialectical viewpoint. His writings are frequently concerned with the emergence of a technological tyranny over humanity..”
Who coulda ever known? Ellul, Illich, Mumford, Lasch, and Chesterton, to name a few.

Interesting painting. Diogenes seems appropriately grimy, the women clean and neat.
However, according to the cultural norms of that era, for a woman (not a girl) to let her hair down in public was a sign of very loose morals. The other women have their hair decently covered. Was this depiction deliberate on Waterhouse’s part, or did he simply like his model’s hair?
I’m keeping books like Ellul’s The Technological Society. Illich’s Tools for Coniviviality, and Lasch’s The True and Only Heaven close at hand, now.
The opaque-darpaNet “culture”- and whatever entities are pushiing it so hard in an anti-life, anti-human, totalizing direction- need counterweights.
