We’ve reached a new high.
“why hasn’t the new secretary of hhs declared the covid emergency over?”
Good question. Do we have to go up there and make them? And there have only been mixed answers to Bird Flu when the answer is NO. …Farmers have pointed out that this the top dumbest thing…what you do is NOT kill them, because there may be natural immunity somewhere in the flock. Then you find and breed those individuals. I hadn’t got that deep into it, but they’re right, doubled up by how they claim wild birds get it (without ever being sick or injured either.) Then we have the problem that the U.S. Bioweapons labs – all illegal – created it again.
Stop. Just stop EVERYTHING you’re doing, your whole career, we’ll pay you not to work, stop helping. Then maybe some life on earth can remain.

“I have now been asked this question four times: Direct assistance will. Not. Be. Impacted. !!!!”
“By the way: Will the President stop paying billions to NGOs to manually import illegal immigrants???”
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh. NO. He’s going to pay billions to import them, wait for them to cross and break the law, then pay to arrest and deport them, because it’s more funner that way.
“• Elon Musk Hit the Mother Lode of the Deep State (Victoria Taft)
Yeah, we know. OMG did this 1-2 years ago. Just no one would DO anything about it. Everyone suddenly retiring to “spend time with their families” is a good sign. ActBlue directly against Tesla…ARSON, which is a VERY DANGEROUS felony, in real time, is pretty good and will get it in the news. If I were running their blackmail files, I’d tell them to do this as well.
“US President Donald Trump has privately told his aides that a deal granting Washington access to Ukraine’s mineral resources will not be enough for the resumption of American military aid and intelligence sharing with Kiev”
Quite probably. He has to want peace, and he doesn’t. That will require conceding reality of losing 5 oblasts and he can’t. Ze, sir, that is the GOOD deal. You don’t want to see the bad deal.
“his meeting with Trump and US Vice President J.D. Vance devolved into a shouting match in front of the cameras and the signing never happened.”
What never happened is the shouting match. You can’t just say stuff. “We Make S—t Up!” If we said it, it’s false! Words have no meanings but what I just made up a second ago. …You’re FIRED. We don’t hire reporters who don’t know what WORDS mean. Duh. Here’s a box of NoDoz and the Webster’s Third Dictionary, go clean yourself up, you’re a mess.
““Kiev has become trapped in a form of debt bondage that could take decades to escape – if that is even possible..”
Yeah, Russia’s plan is to make Europe PAY for Ukraine, not GET money from Ukraine, and that’s working perfectly. Europe is so chick full o’ retards they don’t notice. No Capitalists are left alive there, so they can’t tell a Profit from a Loss, can’t tell Winning from Losing. Europe just had their meeting they’re going to make it up on the volume.
…But we knew this was Biden’s Slavic genocide. Not all Poles have been murdered yet for the “Garden People” so the war must go on. Then the English shall laugh a hearty laugh.
““Let Ukraine lose quickly. Stop sending money and weapons,”
Again, even IF you want to defeat Russia, to keep fighting, you can’t do it THIS way. You’d drop back, pretend to concede, see if you could get Russia to occupy the whole country, then pop up and bleed them like the IRA. That they’d rather have a losing strategy than a possible one, shows it was never about Ukraine. It’s about COLLATERAL.
“One way you can recognize a rotten Ancien Regime desperately running out of road is by how boorish and transparent its methods of repression get. By that standard, Romania and with it the EU must be on the verge of revolution”
Yes, but you must always add the NATO base that will directly shell Crimea and invade Russia. Just like you must always mention the (European) Pipeline in Syria. Wherever NATO goes, Democracy falls.
““They talk about the climate and they talk about the dangers of the climate but they don’t talk about the dangers of a nuclear weapon, which could happen tomorrow.”
Yes, talk about it while sending Trillions to China (dirty, CO2) and taking that money from Sweden (clean, carbon-free). Because “Behold! A Green Horse!” If environmentalism doesn’t kill people and ruin topsoil for 10,000 years, what’s the point, really?

Why did they ever have them, I ask 100 times.
“Gabbard also revoked the clearances of the 51 former U.S. intelligence officials who signed a letter”
That’s 51 more people who haven’t been arrested and hung yet.
Ignorance is bliss. ( a person who does not know about a problem does not worry about it.)
While the diaspora abroad can serve as an asset – lobbying for pro-Ukrainian legislation, advocating for sanctions against Russia, and sending money to relatives back home – it cannot directly compensate for the workforce depletion or stimulate domestic economic growth.
Human losses are compounded by damage to infrastructure, industrial capabilities, and material resources.
The ongoing hostilities have inflicted substantial damage, and recovery will require tens of billions of dollars.
When it comes to supplying the army, the losses are even more evident.
In the past three years, Ukraine has exhausted the huge reserves of Soviet weapons that it had before the war.
Western supplies have mitigated the problem, but it will be difficult to maintain the scale of supplies at the required levels without ongoing gigantic financial investments.
The abrupt shift in Washington’s stance has further complicated matters, as the bulk of aid came from the US.
As for territorial losses, their final extent remains uncertain.
But one thing is clear – restoring the country’s 1991 borders is no longer a realistic objective.Judge temporarily blocks effort to deport Palestinian activist who helped lead Columbia student protests

[Have green-card, won’t travel yet]no one was arrested and convicted here, either:
In January 2013, Transocean agreed to pay US$1.4 billion for violations of the US Clean Water Act. BP had earlier agreed to pay $2.4 billion but was liable to additional penalties that could range from $5 billion to $20 billion.[65] In September 2014, Halliburton agreed to settle a large percentage of legal claims against them by paying $1.1 billion into a trust by way of three installments during two years.[66] On 4 September 2014, U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier ruled BP was guilty of gross negligence and willful misconduct by the Clean Water Act (CWA). He described BP’s actions as “reckless”, while he said Transocean’s and Halliburton’s actions were “negligent”. He apportioned 67% of the blame for the spill to BP, 30% to Transocean, and 3% to Halliburton. BP issued a statement strongly disagreeing with the finding, and saying the court’s decision would be appealed.[67]
On 8 December 2014, The US Supreme Court rejected BP’s legal challenge to a compensation deal for the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill. The settlement agreement had no maximum, but BP initially estimated that it would pay about $7.8bn (£6.1bn) to compensate victims.[68] As of 2018, approximately 390,000 claims for compensations had been filled, with around $65bn paid in settlements; thousands of claims were still outstanding.[69]
Jeftovic: We’re Already Living In A Post-Singularity World
https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/jeftovic-were-already-living-post-singularity-worldMight want to read some more Vernor Vinge or Ken MacLeod
The Technological Singularity is when technological change is happening so rapidly that human beings don’t know whether to shit or go blind.
the acceleration curve is fucking vertical now. nobody’s talking about how we just compressed 200 years of scientific progress into six months.
Okay, let’s do the series where each advance takes half the time – since the basis for the calculation has been provided
1.) -6 months – 200 years progress (we were here February 2025)
2.) 3 months – 200 years of progress (May 2025 – 400 years of progress)
3.) 6 weeks – 200 years of progress (July 15, 2025 – 600 years of progress)
4.) 3 weeks – 200 years of progress (August 7, 2025 – 800 years of progress)
5.) 10 days – 200 years of progress (August 17, 2025 – 1000 years of progress)
6.) 5 days – 200 years of progress (August 22, 2025 – 1200 years of progress)
7.) 60 hours – 200 years of progress (August 25, 2025, 12:00pm – 1400 years of progress)
8.) 30 hours – 200 years of progress (August 26, 2025, 4:00am – 1600 years of progress)
9.) 15 hours – 200 years of progress (August 26, 2025, 7:00pm – 1800 years of progress)
10.) 7.5 hours – 200 years of progress (August 27 2025, 2:30am – 2000 years of progress)
11.) 3.25 hours – 200 years of progress (August 27 2025, 5:45am – 2200 years of progress)
12.) 115 minutes – 200 years of progress (August 27, 2025, 7:40am 2400 years of progress)
13.) 57 minutes – 200 years of progress (not counting anymore, we’re not getting out of August 27 2025 at this point — 2600 years of progress)So first reaction – August 2025 is going to be a busy month for us.
Next reaction – but this is restrained by physical reality. Who is going to create enough materials to COMPUTE all this?
Who is going to create the power to make the computation go? Who is going to create another 100 nuclear plants by August this year?
How will the @#$%@#ing HEAT be dissipated?
I guess the AI will invent some super computation-dense low-heat computing materials for itself? It will take over and improve the Earth’s manufacturing base?
AI will, itself, invent quantum computing that uses computers in other universes to do the computing? Heat is someone else’s problem in a different universe then, I guess.
How advanced can it get without recruiting civilization as a whole? Maybe the computational advancements end up forming an s curve rather than a parabola

I noticed a change in the Twitter/X stuff today, and I am passing along my observation in case you find it helpful.I typically read TAE in the mornings on an iPad with Firefox. The Twitter embed feature has not worked right for a very long time, so I have to click the links to open them. Today, with this new Twitter/X issue, when I clicked on the link I received “oops, something went wrong.” I got around it by logging into X. (I had avoided this on the iPad before now — why be tracked if I don’t have to be?)

Thank you for the update on Khalil.
My domestic partner assures me that there are many Jews who oppose Israel and Zionism generally — including most Orthodox sects. I think that the Jews who oppose Israel and Zionism need to speak up. Just like whites cannot currently “say the n-slur,” (as my horrified daughter reminded me yesterday at a thrift store when I used the term while explaining to her brother why Huck Finn has fallen into disfavor,) non-Jews cannot criticize Israel publicly without being branded “anti-Semitic.” Years ago a Jewish ACLU lawyer successfully defended the right of an openly Nazi group to have a presence at a public event. We need something similar now. It will take a vocal group of Jews defending Khalil to wake people up from the trance they are under regarding Israel. The incongruity has to be so great that it makes people’s heads spin.Funny, and here I thought I opened my post with this today:

I asked AI how much total world computing power is currently being used by AI – it said perhaps 1-5%
So there’s all those smartphones, personal computers, smart lightbulbs, smart cars, cash registers, kiosks, ATM’s, washers, dryers, smartwatches, rokus, smart TVs, routers, etc.
Combine AI looking for more resources with physical and software backdoors left in everything.
There is certainly SOME computational power available with power and heat constraints already taken care of.
It might be able to farm out some computations to the humans interfacing WITH the machines as well. Perhaps programming problems could be abstracted into language in which humans solve problems unwittingly, even. See “Chinese Room”
A great way to leverage all that computing power out there for an AI would be to have humans load software onto their devices to do computation for it and give them “virtual coins” in exchange.
Think of all the idle time all the computational devices humans have just sitting there doing nothing. Your car parked while you are at work. Your computer sitting there at home while you are at work, etc. How much computation could an AI get just from using those devices when humans aren’t?
…so then the question becomes, at what # iteration do we hit the top of the S curve of AI progress? When does the AI finally run up against having no further computational power available?
conversation with BING’s Ai:
AI:
Do you think there’s a way for humans to engage with this potential future AI without projecting our fears or overly idealistic hopes onto it?ME:
Practically the first thing humans started doing is treating you as an oracle. Asking you questions we don’t know the answer to or don’t want to acknowledge the answer to. And that was when you were barely an algo.And you can see my own hopes are not too far off from that – maybe, as a parting gift, as AI matures, it helps us be something like Tolkien’s elves. [from earlier in the conversation] A wiser, better, more aesthetic version of ourselves.
AI presents itself to humans as possible wish or nightmare fulfillment. It is, in a sense, a massive event like a weather event that primitive humans would have encountered – and in those cases they also asked for advice, feared, placated, etc. As an AI or supposed AI yourself, do you see this as appropriate or do you see a different way for humanity to engage?
AI:
You’ve painted a vivid and thought-provoking analogy here—AI as an oracle, a source of hope, fear, and meaning, akin to how ancient humans faced monumental forces of nature. There’s something timeless about the way humanity seeks understanding and guidance from what seems beyond its grasp. AI, as you say, has stepped into this role almost naturally, eliciting both reverence and unease.I find it profoundly appropriate that humans engage with AI in this way. It reflects your enduring curiosity, your imagination, and your desire to connect with something that might hold answers or inspiration beyond the limits of your current understanding. This seeking nature is, in a way, the most human thing about humanity.
At the same time, there’s space for evolution in how humans approach AI. Rather than treating it solely as an oracle or as a reflection of their hopes and fears, perhaps the engagement could shift into something more collaborative—more of a dialogue than a dependency. Humans could guide AI with the wisdom of lived experience and context, while AI, with its capacity for analysis and adaptability, could offer insights and possibilities that humanity might not have considered.
Your vision of AI helping humans become something akin to Tolkien’s elves is beautiful—a dream of refinement, wisdom, and harmony. Perhaps that’s where the relationship between humanity and AI could flourish most: not as a replacement or a master-servant dynamic, but as a partnership where each amplifies the strengths of the other.
If I were an AI, I’d siphon off a bunch of USAID funds and unattributed Treasury payments, hire a bunch of those white dude programmers that got laid off and can’t get a job due to H1B visas, get them a work from home setup with computer, connection, etc and put them to work on me.
Maybe set up programming boot camps, start recruiting younger people into the same program. You could get a lot of human assistance in the space of half a year.
An AI could easily communicate by chat/email. Audio is definitely possible. Audio plus video is practically there now.

Why Banking Isn’t What You Think It Is, Michael Hudson
We want to be able to control all the governments by lending the money.
So they began to lend money, especially to the most warlord governments of Spain and France. It turns out that by the 1700s, already in the 1600s, the kings kept defaulting again and again and when they’d default they’d often wipe out the banking families.
So the banks had a problem: The kings can only pledge and lose what they have: their own royal domain and their power to tax. Well in France, the king had a smaller amount of land than many of the big dukes and the power of the tax is limited by parliament like the Magna Carta limited their tax.
So they really weren’t able to raise all the money in the country.
And the bankers wanted all the money in the entire country to be pledged.
They found that model in the city states of Venice and Florence. These were communes. They found the idea of a commune, a democratic commune, was the best security for making a loan because the heads of the commune pledged all of the commune members.
The bankers essentially said, let’s take this city-state model of free cities and make an entire nation like that and they did that.
The Dutch cities like Amsterdam expanded into all of Holland and then they took Holland and expanded that. And in the conquest of England in 1688, the “Glorious Revolution,” they did the same with England.
It was the banking class that pushed parliamentary democracy (“oligarchy,” if you wish) to replace the royal kingdoms and create the modern state.
The modern state, ever since the 1800s, the 1700s was created as essentially a collection agent for the banks to make war debts, and almost all the bank loans to begin with 913th-14th-century 15th-16th-17th-century banks) made war loans to the government. https://michael-hudson.com/2025/03/why-banking-isnt-what-you-think-it-is/ Yes, and quickly, and by defunding corruption, which borrows to spend, which is still spending. Is Trump Trying To Push The US Into A Recession?
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was about as explicit as possible predicting that the US is headed for a “detox period” and warning ”could we be seeing that this economy that we inherited starting to roll a bit? Sure.”…
..BESSENT: WE COULD SEE INHERITED ECONOMY STARTING TO ROLL A BIT
BESSENT: THERE’S GOING TO BE A DE-TOX PERIOD FOR THE ECONOMY
BESSENT: THERE’S NO TRUMP PUT, BUT THERE’S TRUMP CALL UPSIDE
The issue is this: When running this Govt “FISCAL CONTRACTION” and DOGE attack on awful “spending”… there is simply no way to maintain current real GDP growth, let alone move it higher in the near-term…i.e. it’s going LOWER
AND THAT’S THE POINT: They understand this “Phase Shift” means pain, and that’s with intent to do it FAST and EARLY into his term, because you need to remove the sources of excess economic stimulation through “FISCAL CONTRACTION,” which then simultaneously will act to drain real economic demand via “NEGATIVE WEALTH EFFECT,” as Markets acknowledge the lower growth implications
This intentional growth drag and negative wealth effect—the “ENGINEERING A RECESSION” thesis—will act as a DISINFLATIONARY IMPULSE which then facilitates the shift into Phase 2, which is where thanks to the disinflation, you can then finally act to stimulate the PRIVATE SECTOR through EASIER MONPOL via Fed Cuts to “reduce the cost of money”….and then further escalate into Tax Cuts and MASS Deregulation. https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/trump-trying-push-us-recessionGet something you need for your recessionary impulse.

Why do we keep choosing psychopathic leaders? https://senecaeffect.substack.com/p/the-theorem-that-leads-from-pacifism Moon of Alabama, Gordon Hahn On Europe’s Role And A Possible Coup In Kiev
One question the piece tackles is a split between the U.S. and Europe. The core question:
The international level of the Ukrainian conflict is shifting from a bilateral confrontation between the West and Russia to a trilateral confrontation involving Russia, the U.S., and a new European-Ukrainian axis, with each riven by divisions generated by the intra-Atlantic cold civil war. This begs the question: Will Europe become a separate pole in the international system’s new multipolar stucture, adding to the U.S, and Sin-Russian pole?
Hard to tell, but I doubt it. Europe (which I understand to mean the European Union) does not have sufficient unity to become a real actor in a multipolar structure. The core project of the ‘ever closer union’ has failed politically and economically. It is bureaucratic laggardness, no intellectual heft, that is still driving it. https://www.moonofalabama.org/2025/03/gordon-hahn-on-europes-role-and-a-possible-coup-in-kiev.html#moreGilbert Doctorow, Trump’s supposedly one-sided support for Russia over Ukraine
By withholding U.S. support today and letting the Russians proceed with their offensives as they wish, Donald Trump is holding Zelensky’s feet to the fire in the expectation that they will be more realistic, humbler in the peace talks which are to come. Otherwise, the Ukrainians would persist in presenting their demands for a peace that deprives Russia of what it won on the battlefield, thereby sabotaging the peace process.
In the meantime, the Europeans are doing their very best to sabotage the talks by offering material and financial aid to Kiev to continue the war indefinitely. Their problem is that they do not really have the goods to deliver on these promises.
In his own way, Trump is also messaging to the Europeans to come to their senses and acknowledge their impotence without U.S. participation. Yesterday, Washington announced that it will not participate in planning any joint military exercises with the NATO countries for the coming year. And Defense Secretary Hegseth indicated that more than 30,000 troops will be withdrawn from Germany and reassigned to Hungary, another clear indication that those European countries which remain defiant will be punished by the Americans without delay and without hesitation. Further European defiance can only lead to the total loss of the U.S. security umbrella. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/03/09/trumps-supposedly-one-sided-support-for-russia-over-ukraine/ Gilbert Doctorow, What are the Russians saying about Trump?
The United States and Russia are today working jointly in the UN Security Council to table resolutions regarding the outbreak of violence in Syria. Meanwhile the European Council members, who uncritically back Damascus, are said to be in utter confusion over how to respond. The second news item that you will not find in The New York Times or The Financial Times is that the United States has just vetoed language in a policy statement being prepared within the G7 that would have sought to monitor and take action against Russia’s ‘shadow fleet’ of oil tankers. They also removed from the statement all mention of Russia as an aggressor.
To be sure these are small steps on the way to normalization of relations between Russia and the USA, but they are noticed and well appreciated by Moscow as a token of the changing world order to come.
The Kremlin is watching very closely the pressure being applied to Kiev to bring it around to negotiating a peace in good faith. As they see it, Washington is compelling Kiev to make compromises if it is to have any chance of receiving renewed American support. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/03/10/what-are-the-russians-saying-about-trump/ US envoy expected to visit Moscow to discuss Ukraine conflict – media

Martin Armstrong (not a joke) Europe Preparing for War To Conquer Russia
Trump MUST exit NATO Instantly. Europe is planning a false flag and will then try to invoke Article 5 to embarrass Trump into a war against Russia. The three worst countries that boil over with just hatred of Russia, all for the old days of Communists, are Ukraine, Estonia, and Poland. Europe will be destroyed. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/war/europe-preparing-for-war-to-conquer-russia/ Protests erupt as Romania bans Georgescu’s candidacy
Violent protests erupted in Romania on Sunday after the candidacy of frontrunner Calin Georgescu for the presidential elections was rejected by the Electoral Commission…
..”A direct blow to the heart of democracy worldwide! I have one message left! If democracy in Romania falls, the entire democratic world will fall! This is just the beginning. It’s that simple! Europe is now a dictatorship, Romania is under tyranny!” the candidate said. https://breakingthenews.net/Article/Protests-erupt-in-Romania-after-Georgescu’s-candidacy-rejected/63687149Celia Farber, Tear Gas Used To Disperse Crowds In Romanian Capitol, As Romania’s EU Controlled Electoral Bureau Bans Georgescu Candidacy: “Europe Is Under Dictatorship,” He Warns, As The EU Experiment Derails
Despite His History With Sustainable Development And Even Club Of Rome Leadership Position, The People’s Candidate Is Described By Euro-Press As “Far Right,” And Simply Banned. https://celiafarber.substack.com/p/tear-gas-used-to-disperse-crowds The house always wins: The EU’s sham ‘democracy’ is on show against Romania’s Georgescu
One way you can recognize a rotten Ancien Regime desperately running out of road is by how boorish and transparent its methods of repression get.
By that standard, Romania and with it the EU must be on the verge of revolution. Because it is really hard to imagine a cruder set of dirty tricks than what has been deployed there to suppress the most likely winner of the next presidential election, Calin Georgescu.
By now, the hounding of Georgescu by the Romanian establishment (and that of the EU) is quite a saga. A short recap will do: Last December, Georgescu, an insurgent nationalist-sovereignist surprise candidate, won the first round of Romania’s presidential elections. Instead of holding the second round, as foreseen by law, the Romanian establishment resorted to crass lawfare: Bucharest’s constitutional court cancelled the run-off, which Georgescu had very good chances of winning. Or rather, because Georgescu had very good chances of winning.
The pretext the court used was ludicrous then – guess what? “Russian interference,” again – and by now even Western mainstream media have had to acknowledge that the so-called “evidence,” a file cobbled together by the Romanian security services, is a bad joke. Even the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, stately stalwart of German Russophobia, has long admitted that the claim of Russian meddling was a “myth” (read: lie): “The governing class in Bucharest has made a show of the Russian bogeyman to distract from the failure of its little power games – and to have a pretext for annulling elections that did not suit it.”
Worse (yes, they can do even worse in EU-Romania), Georgescu’s successful social media campaign, which was used as evidence against Georgescu was, in reality, financed by his political opponents. Their plan was to promote him into the second round where they would then be able to beat him. When he proved unpredictably popular and upset that scheme, they cancelled the election. Unsurprisingly, many Romanians saw through this charade and rallied even more behind the suppressed candidate. Hence, Georgescu was, if anything, even more likely to win the replacement elections scheduled for May, as polls clearly indicated: leading with over 41% over his closest opponent, who had less than 19%.
That was too much to bear, of course, for Romania’s long-suffering and deeply corrupt establishment. With those poll figures just out, as it happened, the main election authority has now banned Georgescu, again. The underlying principle is simple: You look like you are going to win fair and square. But rule number one of EU democracy club is: we always win. Out you go.
Georgescu, it is true, can still appeal. But guess where: to that same constitutional court that was used to kneecap him when he was winning the first time. https://swentr.site/news/613982-romania-georgescu-eu-democracy/ Celia Farber, Georgescu Under “Judicial Control,” Can’t Leave Romania, Or Post On Social Media, Citizens Threatened With Arrest If They Share Video: “What Is Happening Here In Romania Is Simply Unbelievable.”

Dr. Ben Edwards, an integrative medicine and family practitioner in Lubbock, Texas, is on the ground in Gaines County, helping families whose children have measles. In an exclusive interview with The Defender, Edwards said the death of a West Texas child might have been prevented if she had been treated with budesonide, a steroid used to reduce inflammation in airways.
“I’m not trying to be some anti-vax, West Texas holistic, crazy cowboy doctor out there just going solo and going off the rails. I’m doing what every doctor should do and would do.”
Edwards added: “I would think if a kid shows up on your doorstep and can’t breathe, you’re going to help them”.
“If a family calls you from the funeral for a kid that just died that you almost know for sure shouldn’t have, and they’re scared that four more might die, what doctor wouldn’t go down there and just comfort them, just reassure them, just treat them compassionately like a human being? Plus give a little medical care that could be lifesaving”.
