    “In a little over five months in 2022 until June 7, with very high vaccination coverage, Australia has recorded more than almost three times the total number of deaths with and from Covid compared to the previous 22 months. The figure is more than twenty times higher for New Zealand.”

    This whole covid-19 virus/vaccine episode, is an excellent example of the total failure of critical thinking by the majority of humans…
    The tripwire for this failure was/is fear.. so excellently played by all the powers with financial rewards waiting in the wings…
    Fear usurps reason almost every time…
    We pay the price for this failure to think!!!

    Concerning ZH’s breadbasket of the world, Id like to know where they got those numbers for the pie chart?
    If you go here:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_producing_countries_of_agricultural_commodities

    The Ukraine does’t show up very often on the lists. For the cereal production it shows up only once in third place for buckwheat. I don’t get the gaslighting that is so easily contested. Looking at world trade of grains for some decades now due to knowing that shortages would come at some point regardless of our present situation. I know WIKI isn’t all that reliable so we can go to the UN’s FAO and see this:

    “World trade in cereals is expected to fall to a three-year low estimated at 463 million tonnes, 2.6 percent below the 2021/22 level. This anticipated decline reflects a likely contraction in global trade of coarse grains and wheat, while prospects for rice remain positive. The FAO Cereal Price Index averaged 173.4 points in May, reaching a new all-time high and 39.7 points (29.7 percent) above the previous year’s value. Tighter supplies and market uncertainty, especially for wheat, maize and barley, as well as rising energy and input prices, will likely keep world cereal prices elevated, at least through the first half of the 2022/23 season.”

    https://www.fao.org/worldfoodsituation/csdb/en/

    No mention of war anywhere in the short report which was released on 03/06/2022.

    HULL, UNITED KINGDOM — Cargill has announced it will close its rapeseed crushing plant in Hull, United Kingdom, by the end of the year, citing “current market conditions.”

    The plant has daily capacity to crush 750 tonnes of rapeseed.

    Cargill has operated the facility since acquiring it from Croda Premier Oils in 1985. The facility closing will impact 36 jobs.

    While rapeseed planted area in the UK is expected to increase in 2022-23, it is still well below historic levels due to the loss of pesticides, yield issues and volatile input costs, according to April’s report from the Foreign Agricultural Service of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).

    Planted area is forecast to increase 17% from the previous year to 359,000 hectares, but is still down from the high of 756,000 hectares in 2012.

    “For Europe, the loss of Russian barrels creates a significant feedstock deficit which will need to be backfilled from elsewhere. European refiners will likely increase purchases from the Middle East, West Africa and United States, as well as local North Sea barrels, raising prices for these grades and further incentivizing Eastern buyers to increase Russian intake. Similarly, the loss of Russian products, most notably diesel will create further inefficiencies in trade. At this stage it is unclear how much Russian diesel might be diverted to markets such as Latin America and Africa, however what is clear is that Europe will have a significant deficit, not all of which can be served by increases in regional refining activity, pointing to steep increases in imports”, Gibson noted.

    Tanker Market in Changing Tides

    I see no mention of the fact not all oil is created equal. Simply switching the supplier doesn’t work for refineries. The chemical composition is different from source to source requiring changes in the processing and additives used. So importing more fossil fuels means already distilled products from who knows where. Good news if you own tankers. Lots more long distance contracts coming your way.

    Bitcoin and ETH? You ain’t seen nothing yet. These are assets that are capable of going anywhere. Still waiting for the buy. Expect they will A) Knock out massive BTC fund margin call and steal his coins. In fact, this may have been the point of the rigging. B) Coinbase and Binance ALREADY stopped outflows with the usual trollop about “server errors”. But only 100% of the time like clockwerk. C) Test run on stable coins complete, take out a bigger one, possibly even Tether. D) Outlaw all crypto competitors to the Fed using the SEC, which laws are written up and waiting on desks right now. I haven’t got a feel on whether the banks will release their own (fake, non)coin Ripple/XRP instead, driving crypto holders on the ranch and into the corral, but it’s a good thought.

    Anyway, crypto is doing what it does, and general stocks and bonds are no different. It’s pretty amazing that A) Powell managed this with .50bp, while 20% behind the curve. B) Nothing in Europe or China has blown up C) with an instant dollar shortage faster than in world history, the USD and USD strength has not gone up more. Both USDX, and US$ vs Commodity prices, you see. I might expect US$ to tread water right now while the rest-of-world sank with 20% inflation, but that has markedly not happened. That means something. If commodities are a “Commodity currency” then that currency is the only one strengthening, indicating the rotation of the system to a new center/reserve currency.

    Anyway, got to be placid when this happens, unless you wanted to go all-in on reverse QQQ or crude oil and wheat, there was no place to “Save” your money. Although US$ is “dropping”, it’s obviously not dropping as fast as the Dow, S&P, Naz, BTC, Emerging Markets, and immediately upcoming right now, housing. You need that US$ to have something to buy the bargains with after the front edge of this storm.

    Always the way: when prices are low, nobody has any money. When they’re high, they’re too expensive to afford. So you need the money BEFORE, because no bank is going to give you credit at the bottom. …You’re not in The Club. They give that only to registered Cantillion Card Holders, like Pelosi and Hunter’s prostitutes. Since I’m just as happy with beans on the wood stove, my life is easy. Since I mostly bought them before all this, it’s also cheap.

    “Biden Admin Quietly Urging Companies to Purchase Russian Fertilizer”

    Why not? He doubled Russian oil imports and has no shame while letting Europe twist in the wind.

    “FBI Warns It Won’t Tolerate “Violence” Amid Supreme Court’s Abortion Ruling”

    Huh. That’s weird. They expect the violent far-right to be mad that abortion is illegal? Or maybe they can admit the Left is who will burn down the country again. If they “won’t tolerate it” are they planning on ever arresting anyone? Or just letting them all go like the last 3 years? How about a group who claim to be “revolutionaries” and whose slogan is “Burn it all Down”? Who shot Congress and showed up to kill a Supreme Court Justice? Should we look into a group like that, or what? Nah.

    “Could America be Facing a Food Shortage?”

    No. It would be a food distribution problem. But then, it usually is. Just like with money. Break the money system and the cooperation machine breaks down. Unneeded goods pile up, necessary goods are ignored while people who do nothing get rich, and people who work go hungry. All from removing an honest money system.

    “An armistice would allow Ukraine to deny that it had given up claims on territory held by Russia.”

    Well that’s nice. Except Russia isn’t negotiating and won’t do it. No doubt the US will have the UN and Ukr sign something Russia never saw or agreed to, and call it another treaty. …That the UN and Anglos will ignore like all the others.

    “a stupefying level of incompetence in the American intelligence community”

    Another “Intelligence Failure.” Like Libya, Syria, Iraq, 9-11… Okay, fine. YOU’RE FIRED. Your department will be liquidated and rolled over to the people who DID see it. No? How many “failures” for how many decades do you get? Well, all of them, forever. Forever wrong, never in doubt and always profiting.

    “The United States has committed to deliver…”

    But the United States is an appalling bare-faced liar and has not delivered. Nor will they. Like Pharma, it’s enough to write the check to corporations; they don’t actually deliver the goods. Do work? What’s that?

    “Ukraine needs 1,000 howitzers, 500 tanks and 1,000 drones among other heavy weapons,

    Sure, pal. ‘Cause tanks grow on trees, and we’ll just go down to the tank orchard and pick some. How many parts do you think a tank has? Are some of them made from nickel and titanium? Maybe you think Israel or someone would like to give away their entire tank force and sit naked before their enemies instead?

    “we literally walked away from a win thanks to Cronkite and the stupidity of the American people buying his bullshit.”

    Cronkite went on to the Press Corp and was thanked publicly by the oligarchs for his complete cooperation from them. It’s a well-known quote, kind of like the WEF meetings. There’s probably a videotape as well. They needed the U.S. bankrupt and off the gold standard (for no good reason/for any reason) in order to get us ON a Wall Street Contillion standard. Nixon complied, although it could have been anyone, eventually, unless they “scatter the CIA to the winds” as his predecessor vowed. Anyway, once the mission was accomplished, the war could end. Nevermind about “Tin soldiers and Nixon coming” since we’re doing CSN this week. They’re of “Crooked-mind thinking”. Whatever they are doing, wherever they are going, they cannot do it straight. So whatever they’re saying, it’s not what they do. The only purpose of speaking is to lie.

    “The US Is Still Importing Russian Oil Despite the Ban (FC)”

    They’re super-mad because this means Americans aren’t being killed. It also means something else: the center is not in control. They say all kinds of things and none of them happen.

    “Bank of Japan buys all government bonds, and it’s still not enough.”

    If I’m not mistaken, that is now complete and pure MMT. Their economy has been on the skids non-stop since “Die Hard” in 1988. I guess we now know if FDR’s “New Deal” would have worked if they had just done it longer. Done more “helping”. Nope. They had to blow up every other factory on the face of the earth with actual atom bombs to get out of the monetary crisis they themselves created with crooked, unsafe money and the erasing of the gold standard.

    people suffering vaccine injuries to that of returning veterans with health issues after the Vietnam War.”

    No, Gulf War Disease is the almost perfect correlation. It may have been caused by rushed vaccines given against anthrax, etc we suspected Saddam might use. …Because Rumsfeld sold him the anthrax, and most of their other chemical weapons of mass destruction. He sold them to use on the Kurds, our allies.

    “his faith in the scientific and medical community has been badly shaken by his experience”

    Shaken but not stirred. He still goes to them for answers and believes whatever they say. Heck, I don’t know anyone who WAS cured by the medical community, but I’m an American. They both only prescribe symptom suppressors for long-term profit, and the patient won’t obey the doctor’s recommendations anyway. …So the doctors don’t bother to tell you to exercise, lose weight, lay off the Type II foods, etc.

    “I work with technology and have a science background, so I understood that with a new product, new technology, there could be some things we don’t know about,”

    So he wanted to be in the experimental rocket on the launch pad when Bugs Bunny lit the fuse? I guess you don’t really understand technology at all. Schmartz guyz usually don’t. The government then lied, ignored, covered it up to destroy your life? I guess although working with technology, you don’t understand government either.

    “ January 6th Committee Chair Says No Criminal Referrals Will Be Made (RS)”

    So many crimes were committed, we couldn’t find any. Again. (Mueller is coming.) They can’t have criminal referrals since that would mean they have to present legal evidence and the cases would fall apart in public. All innuendo and feelz.

    Hey, is this why we have warrants, due process, speedy trials, and a jury of our peers? Maybe somebody’s seen this sort of thing before.

    “Capitol Police Debunk Jan. 6 Panel Allegation about GOP Lawmaker (JTN)”

    “Arrest that man!” Everyone in Congress just ignoring us and arresting each other. Of course, the DNC has tried to impeach every President since Eisenhower. It’s just what they do. Most actually brought a motion day after election. “Anyone not willing to accept the election results is a threat to democracy” – HRC, a month before not accepting the election results for 4 years straight and even now.

    “will have no effect on … voters, other than to make them feel persecuted,”

    D.C. is now openly and daily attacking and insulting just the normal working American. Arresting and investigating them all often enough. How long do you think that leaves “consent of the governed” once you do that? Ask the CCCP.

    “but that Metropolitan Police officers had supplied security for the meeting.”

    Yes, the purpose of the police and the FBI is to assist in felony crimes. In this case, suspected bribery and prostitution, with a known or suspected child trafficker. Two words: Jimmy Saville :

    As I’ve quoted the long law last year, making something secret in order for the government not to be embarrassed and cover up fraud, theft, and crimes, is ALSO a crime. You can’t “National Security” me. I paid for that.

    “The wider the gap becomes between the ideal and the real, the more the proto fascists, who look set to take back the Congress in the fall, will be empowered.”

    Huh? I’ve heard this new phrase elsewhere, now that “Super-Maga” got laughed off the stage. So these are fascists with SMALL government, no police powers, no censorship, black gun rights, gay marriage, and no foreign wars? Strange kind of fascists, as that’s 100% the #OppositeLand of what “Fascism” means.

    Repeat after me: “Fascism is large government. If government lacks power and centralization, it is not Fascism.” Since that’s the entire GOP platform: low taxes, small government, you’d think they could notice and put this to rest after 30 years. N O P E. We don’t care if it’s true. It’s better if it isn’t true!

    No matter what happens, like giving gun rights to the people and not the state, it never matters. That’s reality. We only deal with visions in our minds that I just made up a minute ago.

    “ Sunday Shows Don’t Cover Attempted Murder of Supreme Court Justice (ET)”

    Yes, but an unhinged leftist tried to murder someone. That’s just a “Dog Bites Man” story, a “Sky is Blue” story and deserves no special note. And we approve. Right? Is that not what they’re saying?

    Proud of Yourselves? (Kunstler)”

    Hate to say this, but Drag Shows are to me the modern Blackface Minstrel Shows. They are a bizarre parody of what it is to be a woman, as they misunderstand it so, so badly. So when a woman wears pants, does she become a man? Is that how this works now, because we passed that line 100 years ago. Misunderstanding it so badly, thinking that “woman” is made entirely of lipstick and heels, says to me you’re both immature and deeply disturbed. And maybe that’s fine for you, and although you won’t return the favor, I won’t stop you. Maybe this is your way of learning that “clothes do not make the man” and imagining and imitating women still lacks the inside part that makes you actually a woman. Understanding that, perhaps you can move on.

    You did see that case in Texas where a teacher took a student to drag, and sat him next to a pedophile, right? That’s why we need sign-offs for that sort of thing. I mean adult teachers taking children to bars as if they’re on a date. LGBTQ writer and advocate, also teacher, but I repeat myself.

    Women harvest DNA. Yes, that’s why it’s so intimate, and sex is not bodily, it’s spiritual. You cannot just undo it and move on. I mean, if you’re an unfeeling psychopath, maybe, but it’s hard to make yourself one. Also why, although that’s also true for men, it’s much more true for women. In addition, women keep the DNA of their children, so they also are forever intertwined. Thus Mother Mary and her son, gaining a doorway to heaven when he ascended there. People do or say or believe things we don’t understand. Maybe later we come up with theories that can understand them.

    That sex is sacred and irreversible might be one of them. Not to be trifled with, or mocked.

    Yes Dr,D the digital currency thingy isn’t the holy grail of finance. It’s one more run on the unwary pie in the sky crowd. Which seemingly is most in the west. So are we to power all the infrastructure required to run this scam or plant some veggies? You know all the mines and transport needed to build all the hardware needed to run this particular old scam. Phones, power lines, roads and trucks and ships not to mention sever farms that aren’t going to run on non-renewable renewables, i.e. solar panels and turbines. These farms have big diesel generators for backup when the main lines go dark. The batteries in these places aren’t for storage as they are kept charged by the grid and are used to run the inverters so as to keep the sine wave stable. The grid power is dirty power, (sine wave fluctuations), which is harmful to sensitive electronics.

    Picture of kitchen-cabinet reinforcing and installing project progressing @ Homestead Yoakum, some stories you may have seen and others you have not – https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/which-came-first?s=w

    This article from last summer looks familiar, but it may just be the meme that is familiar. The meme is that some crisis was needed to justify directly pumping trillions of dollars into global finance in 2020. This was already the case in September 2019, when the US Fed. pumped trillions of dollars into the overnight-lending “repo-window”.
    The biggest banks in the world could no longer trust each other overnight with T-bills as collateral. COVID was convenient, and all the planning was at the same time. See 2019 timeline in article, which is well documented. Thanks “Clueless Honky”.
    A SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY: SYSTEMIC COLLAPSE AND PANDEMIC SIMULATION , Fabio Vighi 8/16/21 (excerpts)
    Joining the dots is a simple enough exercise. If we do so, we might see a well-defined narrative outline emerge, whose succinct summary reads as follows: lockdowns and the global suspension of economic transactions were intended to 1) Allow the Fed to flood the ailing financial markets with freshly printed money while deferring hyperinflation; and 2) Introduce mass vaccination programmes and health passports as pillars of a neo-feudal regime of capitalist accumulation. As we shall see, the two aims merge into one.
    In 2019, world economy was plagued by the same sickness that had caused the 2008 credit crunch. It was suffocating under an unsustainable mountain of debt….
    ..The repo market meltdown of September 2019 must be placed within this fragile economic context…
    .. In financial markets powered by cheap loans, any increase in interest rates is potentially cataclysmic for banks, hedge funds, pension funds and the entire government bond market, because the cost of borrowing increases and liquidity dries up. This is what happened with the ‘repocalypse’ of September 2019: interest rates spiked to 10.5% in a matter of hours, panic broke out affecting futures, options, currencies, and other markets where traders bet by borrowing from repos. The only way to defuse the contagion was by throwing as much liquidity as necessary into the system – like helicopters dropping thousands of gallons of water on a wildfire. Between September 2019 and March 2020, the Fed injected more than $9 trillion into the banking system, equivalent to more than 40% of US GDP.
    The mainstream narrative should therefore be reversed: the stock market did not collapse (in March 2020) because lockdowns had to be imposed; rather, lockdowns had to be imposed because financial markets were collapsing. With lockdowns came the suspension of business transactions, which drained the demand for credit and stopped the contagion. In other words, restructuring the financial architecture through extraordinary monetary policy was contingent on the economy’s engine being turned off. Had the enormous mass of liquidity pumped into the financial sector reached transactions on the ground, a monetary tsunami with catastrophic consequences would have been unleashed.
    As claimed by economist Ellen Brown, it was “another bailout”, but this time “under cover of a virus.” Similarly, John Titus and Catherine Austin Fitts noted that the Covid-19 “magic wand” allowed the Fed to execute BlackRock’s “going direct” plan, literally: it carried out an unprecedented purchase of government bonds, while, on an infinitesimally smaller scale, also issuing government backed ‘COVID loans’ to businesses. In brief, only an induced economic coma would provide the Fed with the room to defuse the time-bomb ticking away in the financial sector.

    A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Systemic Collapse and Pandemic Simulation

    Consciousness of Sheep writes…
    For as long as climate change was off in the distant future, governments have been able to trade warm words for concrete action. In a similar vein, a certain kind of green politician has been able to trade on the pretence that ending fossil fuel use would come at no cost. Meanwhile, the diesel fuel kept the arteries of the global supply chains flowing even as ever more coal and gas supplied the heat and power for the technological engines of economic growth…
    ..Well, that future has arrived, and the eco-austerity is only just beginning. Nevertheless, it is already creating big political waves. We might, for a while, get away with the myth that what is happening is all the fault of “Madman Putin” – but that narrative gets very old very quickly for households forced to choose between food and warmth in the depths of winter. And as Helm points out:
    “All of this matters because it means that the current price shock is not temporary, even if the gas price falls back. We are not going to get out of gas anytime soon. Indeed with the extra demand for electricity for transport, the digital technologies and heating too, the problem will get a lot worse before it gets better. The cost of energy will keep going up, and the energy strategy and other net zero problems will contribute to this rise in costs. Whilst the public have been led to believe that net zero is a free lunch (or at least a manageable 1% of GDP or less), it is very much not so. Important and worth doing, but a much bigger cost of living rise than our leaders, and the campaigners against climate change generally, would like us to believe. They fear scaring the horses, but they cannot stop us being confronted with the cost.”

    The recent announcement by Daniel Ortega, the president of Nicaragua, that he will be allowing Russian troops, ships and planes into the region for humanitarian operations will certainly upset the current mainstream narrative that Russia has been “isolated” from the rest of the world by Western sanctions.

    I’m trying to keep an eye on Sri Lanka, the recipient of humanitarian oil-relief from Russia, and maybe more as the summer progresses. Andrew Korybko
    Sri Lanka’s Principled Neutrality Ensured Its Survival In The Economic Crisis Thus Far
    Shortly after, it was revealed that it purchased a 90,000-metric-ton shipment of Russian oil in order to restart its refinery, after which Prime Minister Wickremesinghe told the Associated Press in an exclusive interview this weekend that he’s interested in buying more from it if he can’t find other suppliers and is also exploring the purchase of Russian wheat too.

    Russia is apparently able to project force in Syria now. When Russia says “unacceptable” it means “Russia will not allow more of this”.
    Russia Issues Unusually Bitter Condemnation Of Israeli Attack On Damascus Airport
    Following the Friday pre-dawn raid, ostensibly against Iranian weapons shipments and assets according to Israeli reports, Russia’s Foreign Ministry on Friday evening slammed the— “vicious practice” of Israeli strikes on civilian infrastructure, which it said were “provocative” and “in violation of the basic norms of international law.” …
    The statement from Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said, “We are compelled to reiterate that the ongoing Israeli shelling of the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic, in violation of the basic norms of international law, is absolutely unacceptable.”
    It continued: “We strongly condemn Israel’s provocative attack on the most important object of the Syrian civilian infrastructure.”
    “Such irresponsible actions create serious risks for international air traffic and put the lives of innocent people in real danger.”

    The Israeli military’s Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi made a series of chilling threats to Lebanon while talking at Israel’s first National Conference on the Home Front on June 12.
    In his speech, Kochavi detailed the Israeli military’s strategy for responding to an attack that Hezbollah could launch from Lebanon.
    “We will deal very big strikes in the war, but we will warn the residents and allow them to leave the areas. I say to the residents of Lebanon: I advise you to leave, not only at the beginning of the war, but from the beginning of tension and before the first shot is fired. I advise you to leave those areas because the attack force will be unimaginable like you nothing you have witnessed before,” Kochavi said.
    Kochavi vowed that the Israeli military will target any rocket launcher or headquarters of Hezbollah, even if they were hidden in residential buildings.
    “Every target associated with missiles and rockets will be targeted in the next war,” the military leader said. “A house in which a missile is located or located near a missile, an activist who deals with a missile, a command headquarters that deals with a missile, or electricity connected to a group of missiles – all of this network will be hit on the day of the war.” …
    ..Kochavi threats appear to be a direct response to a recent speech by Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, in which the Lebanese leader warned Israel against extracting gas from the disputed Karish naval field.
    The Lebanese-Israeli dispute over Karish heated up earlier this month when the Greek-owned Energean Power FPSO [Floating Production Storage Offloading] reached the field to extract gas. Lebanon claims that a part of Karish is within its exclusive economic zone.
    With the lack of any real progress in the US-backed talks on the demarcation of the naval borders between Lebanon and Israel, the two countries may be on the course for a military confrontation.

    Georgia avoids risk of new conflict by not giving weapons to Ukraine — defense minister (Georgia is promised NATO membership “some day”.)
    Georgia is giving no weapons to Ukraine to insure itself from the risk of a new conflict, Georgian Defense Minister Juansher Burchuladze said in parliament on Thursday.
    “That we don’t give Ukraine weapons – we believe we are defending the interests of Georgian citizens and insure Georgia from the risk of a new conflict,” he said.

    Ellen Brown usually writes about healthy, non-parasitic banking models and practices, but she presents this good advice. Vegetable gardening is complicated by lots of things and critters that you have not thought much about, unless you have been doing it.
    Get started. Do the homework. Work out the kinks.
    The Food Shortage Solution in Your Own Backyard
    ..Permaculture is a gardening technique that “uses the inherent qualities of plants and animals combined with the natural characteristics of landscapes and structures to produce a life-supporting system for city and country, using the smallest practical area.”
    Russian families have shown the possibilities, using permaculture methods on simple cottage gardens or allotments called dachas. As Dr. Leon Sharashkin, a Russian translator and editor with a PhD in forestry from the University of Missouri, explains:
    Essentially, what Russian gardeners do is demonstrate that gardeners can feed the world – and you do not need any GMOs, industrial farms, or any other technological gimmicks to guarantee everybody’s got enough food to eat. Bear in mind that Russia only has 110 days of growing season per year – so in the US, for example, gardeners’ output could be substantially greater. Today, however, the area taken up by lawns in the US is two times greater than that of Russia’s gardens – and it produces nothing but a multi-billion-dollar lawn care industry.

    Teasing the Donkey is safer than poking the bear.

    So I was talking with a friend (an old geezer like me) who has a military background and I said I had posted a typo mistake about the artillery rounds Russia uses a day in Ukraine. I said a thought it was 500,000 rounds but it’s ‘only’ about 50,000. He said 50k per day is still an ungodly amount of hellfire to be under.

    I asked what he thought the Russians would do as they pushed farther east into central and western Ukraine, to de-nazify the place.

    He said the Russians in the eastern Ukraine have been fighting with one hand tied behind their back. They had to hold back to avoid civilian causalities and completely trashing the infrastructure. And the chickenshit behavior of the Ukronazis constantly using civilians as human shields and hiding in kindergartens and schools.

    He said once they get into territory where the majority of civilians are Ukrainian, his guess was that they would really take the gloves off and waste any opposition with their short supply chain to their enormous military munition industrial base.

    Unlike the Empire of Lies , who had a 10,000+ mile supply chain in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, the Russian supply chain is incredibly short because the Russians don’t go around the world constantly invading other countries far from their Motherland.

    And he said, speaking of the Motherland, the Ukronazis drafting their women is a sign of utter depravity and desperation.

    In parting he said

    “Ukraine didn’t just lose, it has no future.”

    J.D. read your blog in my mail this morning, cabinets looking good. Permaculture is good, the difference between Russia and the rest of the west is population density. Russia has what 146 million people over 12 time zones. That seems lost on most. Lets look at say France at 65 million or Germany at 84 million both in the same time zone. Most citizens in those two countries live in cities with no allotments to speak of or back yards. I know time zones aren’t equal geographically but it’s mute for this point. “Victory” gardens aren’t going to cut it. It will even be difficult in the states or Canada due to the fact the best growing land is either corporate owned or paved over, think suburbs. Population density versus available land.

    Over at the Consciousness of Sheep a new post is up and states the difficulty of travelling 7 miles. Seven damn miles is an issue for them and it takes the best part of an hour! I know folks in this country that spend two plus hours each way to commute, and longer for some on public transit. This situation is unsustainable without cheap high density fuel. This is of course UK centric but can be applied elsewhere. Any who an excerpt:

    Unravelling begins
    Cast your mind back to the Spring of 2020, and the odds are you will have discovered that, like me, you are not an “essential worker.” Some 60 percent or so of us, it turned out, could sit around binge-watching Netflix all day without the wider world seemingly noticing our absence. Perhaps the most important thing we discovered back then though, was that a person’s importance to the maintenance of our way of life has little connection to the amount of money they are paid. Most of the highest paid people, it turned out, could take a year off and nobody would notice. But the absence, even for a single shift, of many low-paid workers resulted in chaos.

    Essential workers could be excluded from the lockdown measures imposed on the majority. But that was, if you will, a largely manufactured situation. The stagflationary crisis which is just beginning to break over us is a different matter – and it is far harder for the state to shield essential workers from its consequences. This is because the core structure of our way of life – what Dimitri Orlov calls the Iron Triangle – is unsustainable in the face of fossil fuel shortages and ever rising prices.

    One of the defining features of the neoliberal order has been the separation of work from place. That is, people are expected to work somewhere different from the place where they live. And in neoliberal economies like the UK, this can only be achieved through mass car use. Consider, for example, the changes in the small town of Caerphilly at the southern end of the ex-industrial Rhymney Valley. In the early 1960s, the town had been largely walkable:

    Agenda 21 Laid the Groundwork
    In 1992, Agenda 21 was created. That was the genesis of sustainable development. That’s where that doctrine was openly described. The Agenda 21 and the Biodiversity Convention that took place at the same time was the agenda for 21st century.

    As explained by Wood, Agenda 21 was foundational in the sense that laid out all the events being rolled out and changes being implemented today. It’s just that no one was really paying attention to where things were headed, the ultimate implications of it all. Of course, those who did see the writing on the wall were discredited as “crazy conspiracy theorists.”

    “There was a great book released in 1994 called ‘The Earth Brokers.’ The two authors were scholars. They were also the original environmental crowd. They weren’t on our side necessarily, but they went to the Agenda 21 conference in good faith, figuring there was going to be some negotiation to dial back the development that was messing with the Third World and try to get the planet back together.

    They went hoping to turn some things around, and they came away from the Agenda 21 conference completely disillusioned … In that book, they criticized the Agenda 21 process. They started out by saying something like this: ‘We argue that USAID — the United Nations conference on economic development — has boosted precisely the type of industrial development that is destructive for the environment, the planet and its inhabitants.

    We see how, as a result of USAID, the rich would get richer, the poor poorer, while more and more of the planet is destroyed in the process.’ What can we say, but ‘amen’ to that. Here we are today. It’s exactly what’s happened.”

    The Plan to Own and Control All Life
    “The Earth Brokers” also reviewed what they learned from the Biodiversity Convention, which ran parallel with the Agenda 21 conference. It had the same participants, just two different thought tracks brought together at the same conference.

    “They wrote about the biodiversity convention, which has become incredibly important today to the United Nations. They said the convention implicitly equates the diversity of life, that is animals and plants, to the diversity of genetic codes. By doing so, diversity becomes something modern science can manipulate. It promotes biotechnology as being essential for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity.

    They redefined the term biodiversity, for one, but they also said the main stake raised by the biodiversity convention is the issue of ownership and control over biological diversity. The major concern was protecting the pharmaceutical and emerging biotechnology industries. That was their assessment.

    To which, today, we can say, ‘Bingo!’ That is exactly what happened back then, and this is exactly the expression today that we see of the genetic takeover of life on planet earth. They’ve gotten the seeds, they’ve gotten the plants, they’ve gotten the animals.”

    Today, the technocrats are also moving in on the human genetic code. Chief medical officer of Moderna, Tal Zaks, for example, has stated that Moderna, a developer of the mRNA COVID jab, is “hacking the software of life.” He described the human genetic code as an operating system, and if you can change that operating system by introducing a new line of code, or by changing a line of code, you can change how the operating system functions.

    Since 1992, legislation has been created to protect Big Pharma. You could say the 1992 Agenda 21 was a pre-coup. They laid the groundwork back then to protect the pharmaceutical and emerging biotech industries they knew were coming. And, today, the very genetic makeup of mankind is up for grabs.

    Yesterday I was reminded of how profound the differences can be between little boys and little girls. I have a piano student, a girl just turned 6. There is a finger puppet game I play with her to teach her finger numbers for piano. She chose 2 flower puppets. Multiple times throughout the song she found opportunities for the flower puppets to kiss each other. I smiled, remembering the girly things my own daughter did at that age…and how my boys didn’t do those things…although one of my boys at that age loved to dress-up in dresses, and persisted in wearing a gold jacket and silver boots for quite a while. I remember how perplexed I was at the time by my son’s behavior, but decided against tying gender to it. Instead, I called him “a rockstar” by way of explanation. He eventually quit wearing shiny and sparkly clothes, (although I suspect that he still secretly likes the color pink.) He always also had many behavioral traits that are typically considered male. I’ve never observed him deviating from seeing himself as a boy, although I raised him in an environment that did not condemn trans people. I do believe that if I had suggested to him that his “girly” behavior might mean that he was *really* a girl, that it would have been psychologically damaging for him. Children look to parents as guideposts as they make sense out of life. One of the things I’ve learned through parenthood is that, yes, children need choices, but they need developmentally appropriate choices. For the vast majority of children, gender doesn’t fall into the category of a developmentally appropriate choice. Gender is an expression of their genetic makeup. It is wise to accept one’s body as it is, acknowledging that most changes we might do — lose or gain weight, deliberately build muscle, a tattoo or piercing, makeup and hair removal or styling — are cosmetic.

    @phoenix: I definitely respect your approach of absolutely not shaming or punishing gender nonconforming behavior but at the same time not imposing the idea that these dalliances mean that the child may be a transgender. That is something the child needs to bring to the attention of the parent for discussion, and in this day and age, part of that discussion would be making sure they weren’t thinking their gender identity is the opposite of their biological sex on account of SJW zealots planting ideas in their heads at school.

    Canola oil is a vegetable oil derived from a variety of rapeseed that is low in erucic acid, as opposed to colza oil. There are both edible and industrial forms produced from the seed of any of several cultivars of the plant family Brassicaceae.

    Linseed oil, also known as flaxseed oil or flax oil (in its edible form), is a colourless to yellowish oil obtained from the dried, ripened seeds of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum). The oil is obtained by pressing, sometimes followed by solvent extraction. Linseed oil is a drying oil, meaning it can polymerize into a solid form. Owing to its polymer-forming properties, linseed oil can be used on its own or blended with combinations of other oils, resins or solvents as an impregnator, drying oil finish or varnish in wood finishing, as a pigment binder in oil paints, as a plasticizer and hardener in putty, and in the manufacture of linoleum. Linseed oil use has declined over the past several decades with increased availability of synthetic alkyd resins—which function similarly but resist yellowing.[1]

    Linseed oil is an edible oil in demand as a dietary supplement, as a source of α-Linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid. In parts of Europe, it is traditionally eaten with potatoes and quark. It is regarded as a delicacy due to its hearty taste and ability to improve the bland flavour of quark.[2]

    Why do people lie
    Why do people not tell the truth

    Defensive: The most common reason for lying is to self-protect. There might be a real consequence or a perceived one that a person is trying to defend themselves against.

    Vindictive: Some people lie intentionally to cause harm to others because they feel harmed by that person. It is a way of getting back at another person.

    Disappointment: In order to avoid disappointing another person or even themselves, a lie might be told. The uncomfortable feeling of disappointment justifies the deception.

    Manipulate: An abusive person constantly lies in order to continue their manipulation. If the truth came out, the abused might leave.

    Intimidated: Sometimes a lie is done because the person feels intimidated by others. Again, this feeling of inferiority is so uncomfortable that they lie to cover it up.

    Attention-seeking: Unfortunately, there are people who lie just to get the attention of other people. The irony is that most of them don’t know what to do with the attention when they do get it.

    Curiosity: This is a very childlike behavior that some adults don’t grow out of. Instead, they lie just to see what will happen regardless of the harm it might cause others.

    Superior: For those with a larger than life ego and in order to maintain their superiority, they lie to make themselves look better than others.

    Avoid: Some lies are done to get out of trouble or avoid any consequences. This is especially true with children.

    Cover: Some people wear a mask and pretend to be something they are not. To maintain their appearances, they lie to cover up any attempt at revealing the real person.

    Control: Sadly, sometimes it all comes down to control. In an effort to control another persons behavior, a lie is told.

    Procrastinate: Passive-aggressively avoiding responsibilities is procrastination. This lie is more subtle in that the person knows they should be doing something but is intentionally putting it off.

    Bored: Some people like drama in their lives. So they lie to stir it up and watch the reactions of other people.

    Protect: There are some lies that are done to protect others. In some cases, a lie is told to take on responsibility for things they are not responsible for in an effort to help someone else.

    Habit: After a period of time and done constantly enough, bad habits can form. This is true for some lies that are said over and over.

    Fun: Some people lie as their form of private entertainment. For them, lying is fun because they like to watch how others respond.

    Desire: A person who wants a lie to be the truth has a deep desire to believe their misperception.

    Harm: People who want to harm others undecided, lie about who they are and what they are doing. This is a common tactic during the abduction of others.

    Sympathy: Similar to attention-seeking, a person is trying to get empathy from others by lying about a past or current event.

    Lazy: On occasion, a lie boils down to a person being lazy and not wanting to do the work, so they lie about it.
    Indifference: If a point or issue doesn’t matter to a person, they might lie about it and not see anything wrong with their deception.

    Perception: Some people believe their own lie. Their perception of reality is not accurate so in their eyes, its not a lie.

    Elevate: A person might want to elevate themselves to another persons level high morality, strong work ethic, or perfectionistic standards, so they lie to lift themselves up.

    Impress: As a way of trying to impress others and cause a better impression, a person might lie about who they are, what they have done, or where they are going.

    Covet: When a person wants what other have, they covet the item or person and lie about their jealousy.

    Minimize: As a way of reducing the damage, harm, or consequences that might otherwise occur, a person minimizes the truth in their lie.

    Maximize: On the opposite end, a person might exaggerate their lie and make things worse than what it really is.

    Suppress: In an effort to cover up a problem, a person might suppress the truth. This lie is intentional.

    Deny: Not every person who doesn’t want something to exist by denying the reality, is lying intentionally. Sometimes this is an unintentional.

    Hide: A person might hide themselves, others, or things and lie about doing so as a way to avoid accountability. This is commonly done in conjunction with addictive behavior.

    It starts with a VISION for what is possible. With a direction, we can move from the vision to practicality – to designing, implementing, and inspiring.


    @Red
    , high density (population) areas/cities need a different plan, so implement where the land is available – or make land available. US Gov. owns lots of land (Trinity County CA where I live is 82% US Gov/forest lands). Perhaps the opportunity to HOMESTEAD would appeal to the younger generations. US could do it at some scale. Suburbs could eliminate grass/lawns and implement a third plan.

    The article linked below came through following a John Day link (of today). Quotes from the article…we have
    Hippies Revival – Part II for ya:

    “Essentially, what Russian gardeners do,” he concludes, “is demonstrate that gardeners can feed the world – and you do not need any GMOs, industrial farms, or any other technological gimmicks to guarantee everybody’s got enough food to eat. Bear in mind that Russia only has 110 days of growing season per year – so in the US, for example, gardeners’ output could be substantially greater.”

    A Hippies Revival – would not be complete without the energy, practicality, and spirit of INDIVIDUALS who think/live/LOVE differently:

    “As Vladimir’s critical interest in these phenomena grow, Anastasia stresses the importance of the wisdom she offers, offering the vision of an emerging culture re-united with Nature. Letting the children grow up in orchards and gardens full of our love is the key to reclaiming humanity’s Creator role on earth, and this new Age of Co-Creation will be realized when we empower our dreams with the purity of thought that comes from living a natural life.”

    According to JKunstler, we are destined to end up here anyway. So why not build out models for what’s possible now? This vision will appeal to some; thankfully there are many paths to Peace.

    In 1999, 35 million small family plots produced 90% of Russia’s potatoes, 77% of vegetables, 87% of fruits, 59% of meat, 49% of milk — way to go, people!

    LOVE to All.

    @Red
    and Susmarie108: Vegetable gardening, and especially storing what is grown, is so much harder than anybody understands without doing it. Russians keep a lot of potatoes, I think. You have to grow what will grow, when it will grow, tend it without fai, protect it from all hungry critters, harvest at the right moment and store it promptly, well and protected from critters, mold, heat, cold, whatever. It should still be done, but most people concede failure at their first mistake which destroys their first attempt.

    Thanks to everyone on the rapeseed lesson. Used lots of linseed oil in my time on exteriors of buildings. Here on the south shore of Nova Scotia it was mixed with cod liver oil to put on the shingles of the fish stores, back when the dinosaurs roamed. Those would be the buildings on or beside the wharves where the days catch was cleaned and salted down. It was typically cool inside as the were constructed over the water so spoilage wasn’t an issue. After twenty eight days in the salt they could be brought out and dried and would keep for a good long time. How long I’m unsure as there wasn’t any left by the next season. So at least that long.
