    We need a system that causes proactive consequences for politicians from the policies they want to enact. If they want to drop meat-supply by a third, then they will have to restrict their meat-consumption to two-thirds of the median consumption for at least three months first.

    Never miss an opportunity to make fun of Chicago and their failing failures of fail. But speaking of their shooting: “We’re Witnessing a Stunning Breakdown of Law & Order, and the Overwhelmed Police Seem Powerless to Stop It”

    Chicago had 400,000 police calls they didn’t respond to. In case you were wondering about Bob. 90% of murders aren’t solved, most aren’t pursued. If you wonder why he thought he’d get away with it.

    Oh, and he passed a background check. So I guess the play now is they no longer have time for the long game. They are going for all guns, right now, or nothing. No rules, no background checks, just outlawed right now. Like in NY. You can have them, IF you’re a party member AND if you never take them anywhere they are useful.

    “Putin’s Fridge!” Remember the old “9-11, Buy an SUV or the terrorists win!!!” Same thing. So, smarty-pants, where are you going to get the new fridge? China? Where did you get the steel? Mariupol’s Azovstal? “Dump it” to where? China’s steel recycling? So. Unbelievably. Supernaturally. Dumb. AND it’s less environmental to replace before necessary, AND the new one will last half as long, AND it needs chips from Taiwan that can’t be repaired.

    “..capitulating to the West is no option for Russia, at this point. Things have gone too far.”

    Um, we don’t capitulate to losers. Who utterly lost. And have no army. And no credibility among their own citizens (<40%). I mean, is this a charity? Where after Russia takes the whole country they just donate it back to the EU, who is a broke, diseased, drug-addled, violent, abusive, raving street-bum?

    Lira’s video:
    “The Dutch are incredibly easygoing, incredibly patient, and also immensely rational.
    The Dutch Farmers have now shut down 80% of the country.
    If they are protesting to this level, the government must have gone crazy (because the people aren’t)
    Also the borders between Holland and Germany.
    The idea that there could be enough nitrogen to shut down 1/5 to 1/3 of all farms is crazy.
    This is evil. I used think these people were stupid. This is beyond stupid. This is evil.
    They think the people are the enemy and they want to destroy the enemy.
    The people are with them.
    Complete media blackout.

    I’ve always been skeptical there is this New World Order, the WEF, and these master puppeteers…because there is so much stupidity going on it’s just that. But now, I’ve reevaluating if it’s just stupidity…”

    While calling us crazy because we could see more, or somehow fell into clearer positions than you. We’re hearing that a lot, suddenly, everywhere, not just from Lira. It was always clear to some of us, for whatever personal situation, that this was true, and most of us had to have this same threshold realization he/they are having.

    ““And I can’t understand this without reference to non-human, no-material reality. In other words, I actually think this is a Satanic attack on humanity. And I’m not a woo-woo person. I never talk about this stuff in public but I think we have to face it. These are meta human powers, I think we’re up against.” https://www.lewrockwell.com/2022/07/no_author/we-have-entered-the-last-stage-of-tyranny-dr-naomi-wolf/

    They say this. And why? “These people are so evil and their attack on humanity and on the West is so comprehensive … I’ve looked at this attack on us for the last two years from every level and it’s so global in scale, it’s so well-coordinated, it’s so kind of demonic in its imagination; so comprehensive – and I also have studied politics and history my whole life. In no other circumstance – not even in Nazi Germany’s ascent – have I seen such a supernatural amount of coordination…”

    Actually Nazi Germany was more similar than she’s saying, but also the Nazis were an occult religion specifically channeling occult, dimensional forces and weren’t secret about it. The Brill maidens figure pretty quickly, and their use in advancing technology. Remember, WWII started with recruiting horse and mule brigades, and ended with jets and A-Bombs. Both German. B1 flying wing stealth bombers. German. What is that, “The greatest trick the devil pulled is to make people think he doesn’t exist”? And so with atheism, spiritualism, that further out thing the ignorant call “magic”, or the “occult” at the same time that the same atheists measure that your consciousness is affecting experiments and have to keep Quantum computers in a lock box to prevent the contamination of the intent and consciousness on physical reality, that doesn’t exist?

    So the real mental Maginot line of defense and control is that there is no magic, no spirituality, no god, no demons. …Or aliens, or trans-dimensional critters of some sort, however you want to name these same things the same way everyone has recorded them steadily throughout all human history. I don’t care WHAT you call them: just when 100% of all humans before us said there is something, that you don’t say “But we’re better than all humans ever, smarter than all humans ever, and gosh darn it people like us” Why not stay open to that things are possible, While your quantum physics and actual, physical daily quantum computing say and demand and prove that this is real? Because you think science and computer admins are doing all this to pull your durn leg? We publish papers on Physics but are only kidding?

    Well at least we’re getting somewhere with it. It’s hard to fight an enemy when everybody denies BOTH that there is a fight, AND that there is any enemy. It would be worth it just to settle that.

    I’m a bit agnostic on it. There’s plenty enough evil for humans to get up to without needing to hypothesize an outside, non-human force. But that is what THEY say. That is how THEY act. Not me. So THEY believe it, and again, aren’t all that secret about it. And who should know better what they do? Me? Or them? Why in my position of no information shouldn’t I generally believe what they most clearly tell me exists? And clearly indicate their lives are like? Until proven otherwise? In any case, most of this doesn’t matter at my level, so long as THEY think it exists and it creates THEIR behavior, that’s all I need to know, predict, and confirm. So long as they think there are underpants gnomes and behave accordingly, then I can predict their behavior accordingly, which is my only practical demand.

    And this IS what they believe, say, act, and print. This outside force is their god, and they obey its un-human commands. You can see it in their actions every day of every week of your life.

    We know this because they LOSE money, go around money, refuse money, blow money to accomplish these other ends. Conservative media is the fastest-growing, THAT is where the money is. They refuse it. Twitter is a money furnace: they shovel BlackRock’s money and power into that furnace by the trainload. It’s not about money. Although it’s mostly about control, it’s not even that. Holland is LOSING control with these actions – very obviously – not just now, but will risk control, capture, and all oligarchic power decades into the future. They don’t care. They don’t care therefore something larger is driving them.

    Countries will not just “be compliant”. Countries do and always have, just say “We ain’t paying.” In fact as Adam Smith wrote, that’s the ONLY thing that ever happens: nations ALWAYS default, they NEVER pay. So why not now? Start early. They can switch alliances and always have, they can tell the IMF or even the U.S. Army to go f– themselves because apparently the Army couldn’t defeat Rhode Island. The IMF is a nobody. So you can’t tell me “They can’t.” They can, always do, and always have. BlackRock is a zero if everyone ignores/sues them. They have no power but what you comply with. And all those things are not happening, yet anyway. Why?

    Nobody’s being blackmailed, there are no Blackmail-ers, and yet they act against their own and their nation’s interest every minute of every day forever. Or would it be more logical to suppose that, in the human world, in human history, there IS such a thing as blackmail, and therefore Blackmail-ers who have specific plans of self-interest.

    Let’s end with this instead: The events in Holland, like so many worldwide, REVEAL THE EVIL, and THEIR EVIL PLANS. As I’ve said so many times, we’ve said for 70 years this is what they wanted, what they published but no one would believe the people WHEN THEY WROTE IT THEMSELVES. It takes empty shelves and idiotic, unnecessary death to clue-by-four these knuckleheads into believing what is obvious. Therefore, the ONLY way to stop them is to do this: have them overreact, too fast, and reveal themselves and their published, open intent to kill all humans in Holland, Europe, the U.S. and worldwide. Only then can the people react and respond seriously and accurately. And so we are. They tried every other way, but the people wouldn’t have it, so we have to try this way, which is now working. Even in patient, logical, Holland.

    A contradiction at the heart

    Two protests took place in Britain yesterday. One involved a piece of petty bourgeois performance art in which “Just Stop Oil” protestors glued themselves to an artwork at the National Gallery in order – via some unknown mechanism – to bring an end to the oil age. The second involved a more economically grounded disruption of the motorway network by truckers and farmers who have seen their standard of living crushed by rising fuel prices.

    Ordinarily these kinds of events would quickly pass as the establishment media found other, more salacious issues to distract us with. There is though an unlikely coincidence between the two protests insofar as both involve oil. The first concerning a frankly insane demand that the UK economy cease using oil and oil products immediately, the second being concerned with the economic damage being wrought by unaffordable oil… which might suggest that the Just Stop Oil protestors should be careful what they wish for.

    There is a contradiction here too.

    Those protestors glueing themselves to a frame. What was the glue made from (animal, vegetable or mineral). If animal then they win no favours with their vegan brethren who abhor horses going to the knackery. If mineral then that means mining ( or drilling for oil) and if vegetable that usually means logging to obtain sap. Plus any posters or flyers for their protest are almost certainly made from petrochemicals. Oh the irony. Hope they starve in the next famine as without oil and gas drilling there will be no food in their metropolis.

    From 2020 and a long read of dot connecting for those with time and interest. It has all of the greats from Macron to Schwab to Greta.

    “With markets in the Global North relatively saturated (with citizenry and state both inundated with debt), the world’s most powerful institutions, amidst a global consolidation of power are seeking to recolonize the Global South. “Tech for Good” is the exponential “scaling up of social transformation in the fourth industrial revolution“, transforming Africa into data colonies that serve the West. Transforming children, people, and all life into data commodities – a new asset class. This is a global behavioural change project, unprecedented in scale, with civil society groups and groomed influencers, having been tasked with replacing societal backlash with social licence.”

    I giggle every time I think of “The Wheel of fortune” in Dutch.

    “But we’re better than all humans ever, smarter than all humans ever, and gosh darn it people like us”.
    CS Lewis called that chronological snobbery.
    On a side note- I open each day with a picture from APOD. They often show nebulas, and describe them as beautiful, but I think an awful lot of them look, well, evil.

    “It’s hard to fight an enemy when everybody denies BOTH that there is a fight, AND that there is any enemy. It would be worth it just to settle that.” This.

    Dutch police last night fired targeted live rounds at a tractor they claim threatened them. Local sources say that is nonsense, there was never a threat. The driver has been in custody ever since. A bunch of tractors are at the station where he’s held, demanding his release.

    He’s all of 16 years old! They fired targeted live rounds at him!The police have large meetings before such events, and the no.1 question is how far can we escalate? Obviously, the answer was live fire was fine. As I said above, the farmers are too popular, and the govt must find something vs that.

    Live rounds fired at kids won’t turn that tide though.

    “…Your old fridge is Putin’s Friend, Dump it!”

    Wow Green Nazi propaganda combined with the Surveillance State.

    The new refrigerators have wifi connections that tiddle-taddle all your fridge habits to Big Brother.

    The fridge wifi connection combined with smart electric meters allows the Owners to not only monitor your energy consumption patterns but switch off your fridge if your deemed a Putin Puppet.

    Two birds with one stone.

    A while back I read a story where a teenage girl got her wifi privileges cut off for some infraction but her boyfriend got her back on the home wifi system through the family’s ‘Smart’ refrigerator’s wifi connection.

    The new pentaquark, illustrated here as a pair of standard hadrons loosely bound in a molecule-like structure, is made up of a charm quark and a charm antiquark and an up, a down and a strange quark (Image: CERN)

    Quarks are elementary particles and come in six flavours: up, down, charm, strange, top and bottom. They usually combine together in groups of twos and threes to form hadrons such as the protons and neutrons that make up atomic nuclei.

    Vaccine mandates may have vanished from Australia for the time being, but there are noises in the MSM about the encroaching monkeypox. There is also an awareness that this latest putative social crippler is spread only by close contact, not in the air, so maybe it’s not so bad. Until our medically-ignorant politicians are convinced otherwise. Stay tuned.

    Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank of Australia recently announced an interest rate rise with more to come. In our over-heated, over-borrowed housing sector, this will push ever larger numbers of mortgage holders off the edge. There are already people living in tents in places like Adelaide, although so far in small numbers. Big things from little things grow…

    At least our agricultural sector isn’t being shut down. Not yet, anyway. Quite the opposite: the NSW government some years back eased up on regulations controlling forest clearing for cattle grazing, and now the iconic marsupial is officially listed as endangered. But koalas are irrelevant to development — as indeed are most other aspects of the biosphere, aren’t they.

    Indeed, it’s not just a war on farming that we’re seeing: it’s a war on the entire biosphere. The human race is being led and deceived into committing slow suicide by habitat destruction.

    “Live rounds fired at kids won’t turn that tide though.

    Agreed. Though live rounds fired back may.

    Cops, Feds, Military had better get their priorities sorted fast. Did they become law enforcement so they can circle jerk all over each other and slurp politicians asses while getting shit on? Cops, CIA, FBI, Military have been total fucking cowards these past 2+years.

    They better decide quickly if they “serve to protect” the Society and Constitution, or if they are simply cowards for a paycheck following orders. Had one of those cops firing at teenage farmers killed that kid…? There would be a lot of very dead cops right now. Deservedly so.

    What happens when the farmers/truckers/civilians shoot back?

    Of all the tools of coercion available to a government, preventing individuals from freely expressing their thoughts is most dangerous. Denying citizens that most basic societal release valve for pent-up anger and disagreement only heightens the risk for outright violence down the line. Either silenced citizens become so enraged that conflict becomes inevitable, or the iron fist of government force descends on the public more broadly to preemptively curtail that possibility. Either way, the result is a disaster for any free society.

    Politicians and Enforcement had better get it together fast…they are all on very thin ice surrounded by millions of justifiably pissed citizens with everything to lose.

    Netherlands agricultural protests. Hopefully they come to meaningful changes. My home garden has always been an organically grown system, plenty of good and bad outcomes. My paychecks have changed from full blown chemical ag towards a lower chemical input agricultural system, it ain’t easy. Transitioning to the point of ‘sustainable Ag’ is going to take a damn long time with consumer sacrifice on prices and availability, and thus health? Food and petrol have been too cheap for too long.

    I have doubts that natural immunity to C actually happens. My neighbour’s unvaxed fourteen year old boy has had it twice in the last three months . Many vaxed have had it multiple times. The question then is about the accuracy of the tests, I believe that RAT tests are now the standard here. Also the state Gov. is warning that mask mandates are being considered again.

The second involved a more economically grounded disruption of the motorway network by truckers and farmers who have seen their standard of living crushed by rising fuel prices.

    Amongst all the hype about oil there is one actual fact is that is presently being ignored , the undeniable and unavoidable fact that oil and gas ARE finite and will continue to become more and more expensive to the point that they will be no longer economically viable. Climate change is the catchword , carbon is supposedly the problem but the oil and gas and coal are going to run out eventually anyway and with the development of China , India and the rest of the world these resources will dwindle faster and faster.This is the real problem that is now seemingly forgotten about. So either we adapt or we don’t. The ubiquitous automobile will most likely be the first casualty. How and from where are we going to find a minimum of a billion tons of battery materials every ten years and from where is the energy to make them coming from? Thus the WEF statement , “you will own nothing and be happy”. Fossil fuels are running out and all our lives , except for the elites is going to change radically, it is happening right here now already! Australia has signed onto Zero carbon to be accomplished in eight years time , almost none of our autos are electric. Last week the eastern seaboard of the country was having blackouts. Where is the electricity to power all of the cars and trucks and trains to come from? Individual solar systems in homes will take care of some of the cars, everything else? We are facing a crisis and there will be extreme chaos ahead . Starvation is a real possibility. There is no going back to normal , this is a crisis that will be with us all for the foreseeable future , suck it up buttercup!
    Going way back I remember TAE with Nicole was already telling us this but we seem to have forgotten it all and still believe that some how we can continue with the old way of life that cheap fossil fuels made possible. It is over.

    The climate is changing, but that is a natural and regularly occurring cycle with our planet. IMHO, Anthropogenic Global Warning (AGW) has yet to be proven. (See, for instance, the book “Unsettled” by Steven Koonin.)

    I think the whole AGW narrative is intended to frighten the public into embracing the need to move away from combustible fuels. These, as you say, are definitely finite, and we are definitely somewhere on the backside of the Peak Oil curve already.

    I’ve been reading “The Consciousness of Sheep” by Tim Watkins, who also blogs at his website of the same name (which I also follow). I have a couple of minor issues with some of what he says about economics (he is Marxist, for instance). But his insights into energy, the way those explain some of what we are seeing in the world economy, and his general explanation of the way in which it all fits into a “Limits to Growth” framework have altered my thinking about a lot of what is going on in the world.

    After reading the excellent post “How the Left Fell for Capitalism” on “unherd”, I found this gem of a paragraph in a post “The Psychedelic Utopia is a Lie”, also on unherd:

    “I believe loving money is one of the greatest gifts you can give humanity at this time,” said Azrya Bequer, one half of a husband-and-wife duo behind BEQOMING, an outfit earmarked “to serve the 0.1% of the wealthiest people in the world to start making better decisions for our planet and our future generations” — through facilitated ayahuasca ceremonies.”

    The root of all evil. Enlightened.
