https://russia-insider.com/en/sanctions-shmanctions/ri22214As most of you know, I’m a Russophile, but my reservations as an American are; will the U.S. stand for second fiddle (so-to-speak)? I have my doubts and that bodes much trouble afoot; coming soon, our way…
The U.S. has stated directly; they will accept no challenge to their hegemony; bad moon rising…
We’ll see…How did we get here, Ilargi? I keep telling you: the inevitable result of a global culture based on belief in the concept of exchange. Can you ‘hear’ that now? Or will you continue to repeat the same question? And the “Either we stop this” bluster too? How are we going to “stop this”? Would it help for me to repeat it for you? Or shall we distract ourselves with bubbles and central banks and rumors and … ? Or maybe just ‘enjoy’ the ride.

I keep telling you: the inevitable result of a global culture based on belief in the concept of exchange.Please elucidate; the concept of exchange, as you understand it.
There seem to be many iterations of said concept.
So, your interpretation, would be most welcome.The bullies have got the system set up so that the victims will allow the system to continue.

Indeed.
Separately, If any readers here suffer from chronic pain, stem cell therapy appears to produce nothing short of miracles for many people:
There are several more installments coming at the parent website in the next several days.
Sorry, that link went nowhere. They required sign-up before 24-hour, restricted viewing of each of their videos, and I’ve lost track of the sign-up link. Here is where they sell the entire set:
The tone throughout is a bit apprehensive, but stem cell therapy stands to obviate $hundreds-of-billions in less effective medical and pharmaceutical treatments.
The best I can do for now:
Jeff Hayes and “The Healing Miracle: The Truth About Stem Cells”
Well, I’ve cluttered up this comment section already, so why not a little more. The manifold testimonials in the first six video segments are astounding, but that link casts doubt on the whole shebang. Didn’t mean to shoot my credibility in the foot. I’m learning — slowly — maybe.
I have been catching up
” they do not want jobs or industry in the U.K. at this time: they want desperation. Maybe later, with the right concessions. This has been true for decades, so let’s not blame Brexit.”
Dr D,
Quite correct. They have sold their own country for a handful of shekels. I once worked for what was then the largest manufacturing plant in London (Acton) – Lucas/CAV (1974) – and it is now prime real estate.
Finally, here is the first stem cell episode. It represents a “loss leader item,” as the subsequent episodes required an earlier sign-up.
If I understand correctly, embryonic stem cells cause cancer, but amniotic stem cells and umbilical stem cells do not. Most patients use autologous stem cells derived from their own adipose (fat) or bone marrow, without an intermediate step involving preservation (freezing).
I just have to say, the search engines at YouTube and Amazon are feeble at best, and possibly nefarious. Either way, both are frustrating.
confiscate the pitchforks and guillotines from the citizens
The Cobblestone Is the Weapon of the Proletariatolo530,
Nice reference. A peasants revolt, huh?
What happened to true statesmen and women running for office, and the citizenry having the savvy to vote them in?
Reminds me of the ox being led around by the nose. If that ox only knew it had the brute strength to overpower and maul its taskmaster.
V Arnold, the concept of exchange is that something of value given to another *must* (with exceptions that we mostly ignore) be “balanced” or reciprocated with the receipt of something of “equivalent value” [sic]. The belief is multi-layered. It begins with the above and extends to a complex web or subsidiary beliefs about supposed value, timing, penalties for failure to comply, INCENTIVES TO EXPLOIT AND CHEAT, and much more. The key to having insight is to ask “Why?” (I recently saw reference to the 5 “Why”s on Wikipedia. Haven’t checked it out yet, but I suspect it’s relevant.) The answer I found is that the belief is just a belief, not human nature, not required by anything other than belief, not an unavoidable physical (as in “physics”) limitation, but A CHOICE. Individual choice? No, it’s a group choice. Not something we’re particularly adept or familiar with, aside from various charades like voting. Nevertheless, that’s what it is. So if we see it for what it is and understand it’s implications (so obvious once we look for the connection), then we can DISCUSS WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. Proposal: end the belief. Discuss. (I won’t hold my breath. No doubt there’s something else that’s much easier to complain or argue about instead.)
