Pablo Picasso Rest 1932 • Trump Asks Russia To Spare ‘Surrounded’ Ukrainian Troops (RT) • Putin Calls For All Ukrainians In Kursk To Surrender
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle March 15 2025]Canada is using the trade war to win an election. Seems smart when the Liberals have nothing else except Trudeau’s legacy. Yet the Canadians are stupid?
Maybe Donald could have not shot his mouth off about the “51st state” nonsense. Perhaps he could have held off his tariffs until after the upcoming federal election. Carney does appreciate the lifeline Trump threw him.
Remember the BEFORE and AFTER pictures – the fat guy and the thin guy. The Before and After pictures of Canadians politicians look like this:
Before the election: Beat the war drums, the spirit of 1812 is back!
After the election: Quietly sell out anything the Americans want.A shame this was all too complex for Team Trump to understand.
As you sit back and take in the daily avalanche of theatrics, ask yourself, who ‘s running this shitshow? It’s not the puppets and muppets, freemasons all, bloviating and gesticulating, playing out their dismal roles. $ runs the show and controls all sides of the back and forth game of false reality. All roads lead to 1. A technocratic totalitarianism. A jew zoo, where you better fucking believe 2+2=5.
“New border numbers are in!”
Great, now we’re 20 Million deportations short of a load. Home prices can drop shortly while wages rise.
(Said like Peter Faulk. Oh, btw, one note: If home prices drop the entire worldwide economic and financial system will instantly collapse. Sleep tight!)
Actually, speaking of that, whut. How do I get into this, v. complicated. Okay, Income tax is taxing INFLATION, it taxes EXPANSION, the false complaint we’re Capitalist at all, and that Captialism requires 3% compounded on a finite planet. No:, our fake, debt-based BANKING does that. Same thing. But we are IN that banking, and as always found, there is no escape, which is why they cause a democidal world war to re-set. “The Great Reset”. “Build Back Bitter.”
Okay, what if you DON’T want to collapse? What if you DON’T want to murder 6 billion people, just can’t find the time? …Well, you’re not an environmentalist, that’s for sure. I mean, you don’t want to murder everyone you’ve ever met? How heartless! Don’t you CARE??? Only truly loving, caring, special people kill 6 billion others.
Okay, what we have is…the economy needs to SHRINK. Ta-dah! That’s my magic. Okay, like breathing in, breathing out, once on debt-compounding you can only breathe IN, INFLATE, and never out. You breathe in, consume, until you burst like Mr. Creosote. IF you want to FIX the system, the Central Bank-Debt-War system, that MUST end in nuclear conflagration, you MUST contract again. There MUST be cycles again, economic cycles, business cycles.
…Well for one thing you MUST get on a gold standard and off debt-currency. No one’s done that before. Then you MUST let the stock market fall. And all that is leveraged on DEBT. But the debt is TOO HIGH. It can’t keep going, but can’t drop as any contraction will contract to the bottom, like popping a balloon!
Next problem: there is no MONEY – at all – when that happens. It’s debt-based, remember? If the debt vanishes, the money vanishes!
Next problem: Since all taxation is based on expansion and inflation, if there is a contraction, ALL TAXES VANISH. They’ll be a pittance of what’s necessary to survive. Government fails, Tren MS13 take over = Max Max.
So EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF THE ENTIRE MODERN WORLD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AT ONCE.
OR WE ALL DIE. …No pressure!
Okay Docktor, whaddya got? First, currency. We’re going to need 2-3, more currencies, all competing, which can move us from debt-based WHILE the debt-based still exists. Oh wait! We have crypto.
Two, we have governments, bonds, debts, all based on inflationary debt-currency. Oh wait! We have plans to ADD gold back INTO our bond structure, and also issue TREASURY money that isn’t Fed money, and solid, based on the U.S. and our standing assets. Huh.
But this will still collapse all REVENUES. Globalist Dr. Evil still wins. Nope! If we remove INCOME TAX, Capital Gains, and swap in with Tariffs, as a necessary requirement of how we taxed BEFORE the debt-based Fed money.
But wouldn’t we have to radically reduce the size of government which both has to stop compounding and actually shrink? Oh Wait! Funny you should say that, I’ve heard there’s this initiative in government to go cyclical and not linear and radically shrink government and its duties right now. And that WILL collapse spending, borrowing, which WILL cause these other problems/collapses. But that was happening anyway, so no problem.
But wouldn’t that cause the Stock, Crypto markets to also fall? Funny you should say that, YES. By coincidence, that’s happening right now. Although we haven’t hit a debt-run, margin-call event right now.
But if debt-money falls, wouldn’t we also see gold rise as a solid money replacement? By coincidence, yes, gold has happened to double here and is finally attracting the attention of the public.
But wouldn’t this collapse the economy?
Aha. No. This does NOT have to collapse “The Economy”, that is Main Street. Because We all need to do, make, buy, and eat, what WE were already making, buying and eating. Except that we’re doing it ourselves instead of having others manufacture for us. What do you think “The Economy” … of Main Street … looks like with 99% of all things in China re-shored here? Might be a job in Muncie Indiana? All money created is going ONLY to Wall St and speculation, almost nothing to economic activity. You can cut off the printing and the Stock market which is already entirely divorced from reality.
So do you catch the over-arching re-structure of the entire global system here? That we CAN transition into this now, with SOLID money, HARD money, which causes DEFLATION, DROPPING prices, and yet not POP the government and the entire society? Banks can back with XRP and gold reserves and not new, expanding loan books? That in a HARD MONEY case, home prices can FALL as well as rise without everything melting nuclear?
…Because they used to. All this USED to happen, before 1915. Back with, I dunno, random example, President McKinley, who I’m sure no one has ever heard of or talks about, right?
This ain’t no CBGBs, no pleasure cruise, this ain’t no foolin’ around. I ain’t got time for that now.
No one’s done this before, ever. What I’m saying is, it’s POSSIBLE. For the first time since they jammed us in here and hit nuclear war age, we can possibly, potentially, leave without the world turning to ash and the Elite Cockroaches winning. You’d have to do these massive, hidden, boring structures exactly as we’re seeing now.
…And a major one is taxation, moving from Income and Capital Gains to Tariffs.
How do you expand infinitely on a finite world? A: You don’t. Stop.

“• Trump Asks Russia To Spare ‘Surrounded’ Ukrainian Troops (RT)
Very silly, but LOOK AT HOW FAR TRUMP HAS MOVED THEM IN ONLY 10 DAYS. They started with nothing, and not an inch of ground. They’re already on no NATO, conceding 1/3 of the country. This is how to negotiate. They have to SEE it, then see it your way, the reality, then come to it of themselves, talking to themselves, making up fake stories and justifications to themselves, to sell it to themselves. He’s just leading them to water.
Btw, Nixon having a great time with Medvedev. “We will hunt down every terrorist, and kill every one of them ruthlessly and methodically.” That is, Putin is the Diplomatic, logical Russian expression. Medvedev has taken up being the EMOTIONAL, Klingon one. (Trek ToS was based on Russians – Klingons, Chinese -Romulans, Japanese – Vulcans, West – Crew; this isn’t a secret) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfJzMDQvGN8
So Putin NEEDS to say this. Both to the Ukr, to the West, and to those trapped in Kursk. That they will all die horribly, with great joy on their faces when killed to a man. Putin needs to say this too…through Medvedev. …Because THEY attacked US? Because THEY were just fine, and starting the war, killed +200,000 Russians for NOTHING??? F—k yes, we’re pissed! F you and the horse you rode in on, I wish every one of you were dead. …Quite appropriate. Don’t start wars. You idiots.
Now you STARTED the war, KILLED 200,000 men, INVADED Russia, and you’re like “Hey how about we call a little time out and negotiate. Let’s just let bygones be bygones and you can trade us from Kursk to the Donbass Front. No hard feelings, right?”
What the Literal F—k Is WRONG with you people??? NOOOOOOO. No on no. http://www.no.com. Nyet. Never. Die in a hole, we will light your bodies on fire, then burn you a second time. NO.
But THEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY are the ones taken leave of their senses. Ukraine, Britain, Europe. THEYYYYYYYYYY are the ones who need to know, to have “Reality” descend upon them again. BY CONSEQUENCES.
So the saga here, the SLOG, is to have TRUMP ask, PUTIN be diplomatic, and then he turns to Europe and says, “Well, sorry boys, I did my best. You see how it is.” In order to get EUROPE out of the rabid psychosis they’re trapped in and recognize THEY’VE LOST. They have no cards. Timing is good, all planned, to have this fall now.
Unfortunately as a MILLION men have died, headed to TWO, the Idjits who PLANNED all this are still slapping each other on the back with NO CONSEQUENCES. All those who planned Kursk and bombing the nuke plant there, all still going around to meetings as if this was still the greatest plan ever, not one fired, much less discredited, their town and children set on fire with white phosphorous and their nation overrun and put to ruin, with no power, their children missing and probably in a rape camp looking for scraps. NO CONSEQUENCES for Britain, Brussels yet. And I aver, that it is IMPOSSIBLE for them to see reality EVER, but certainly not until some consequences fall on them. Even a placid WWII Nuremberg won’t do, I see that now. It won’t be a lesson to others who come after. I now see why they round up their whole family and chop them apart in front of them, then AFTER they watch and you torture them a while, execute the leaders. NOT for those guys. Like Vlad the Impaler, AS A MESSAGE TO OTHER INVADERS. So maybe, — Just Maybe – they can REMEMBER next time.
Anyway, Trump is sure asking. AS IF anyone actually believes anything will happen. It won’t. And it’s not supposed to. It’s to cattle-prod them into the chute to force the EXPERIENCE on them. Otherwise, they’ll just keep wiggling out of facing REALITY again, like the weasels and eels they are. How do you reach a crazy man? Like the Joker, if you shoot him, he laughs.
““After all, it’s Russia that’s winning the war in the battlefield, not the U.S., the – already fragmented – NATO, and much less Ukraine.”
Nothing will survive here. Look at the language though: Our “Russian, American PARTNERS”. He’s part of BRIICS PARTNERS. The U.S> has already flipped, already allied with Russia, on, say, buying Nordstream and running the contact point with Germany such that Europe won’t dare bomb it again. Because they’d be bombing US. Russia sells gas, we get a security markup, and hold Europe hostage with it. Hardeee, har, har, har.
We are allied with Russia. Past tense. Against Europe, past tense. They are only just now finding out.
Witkoff: so is Trump delaying or is it really Europe? Well, he’s in no hurry but if Europe would sign it would just be over. So Europe is the delay here, reality has to sink into their knuckleheads.

Immensely long article, on how Canada becomes a State: https://barsoom.substack.com/p/maple-maidan Again, I think no, but I’m beginning to question, as he keeps being direct about it.
From Lutnick here. If we shut them off, we get hurt, sure. No question. Canada ceases to exist. Like they become GDP of Norway, but with 30 million people to split it between. CAN they recover? Sure, everyone CAN. But that’s like 20-40 year’s work to do that. Not just that, the entire MENTAL structure of Canada would have to undergo a revolution. Like be very serious, very hard-driven people, very untrusting, independent. Armed.
Again, let’s pretend England leaves behind the Anti-Colonies in Canada, as a means to control the former colony. England is getting the money that Canada is getting from us. Seeps through, back-door that’s how the modern Anglo Empire operates. And we’re at war with ENGLAND. See: Carney. So true or false, put that in your understanding when looking at it.
Tariffs and “Respect” are really: “Reality”. That is, he keeps escalating if they do. To express POWER. But is he escalating ABOVE his, above U.S. power? No. You can’t escalate beyond your real power, that’s called “bluffing”. So Trump is “escalating” to our ACTUAL power. That’s just not being a chump, being who you are, as powerful as you are. So what’s the harm? We’ll all stop lying and be who we actually are at the levels we actually are?

Multiplication trick
I think that there are some specific reasons why this is not generally taught.
(1) This trick does not explain what is happening — it can be followed while having no understanding of the underlying math. As such, the novice can get the correct answer, but will not achieve mastery. (A similar thing happened last year when tutoring my son with math — he needed to do long division with polynomials. He didn’t know how to do long division, period. I insisted on teaching him long division for ten minutes before applying it to polynomials.)
(2) Calculators! The reason for using the trick is to speed the human computation process. Prior to the use of calculators, tricks like these would be a godsend. Now, we simply outsource the task to a machine. The tricks are never taught to most people.
I believe that if we sit with this for a while, understanding the result of a technology with which we are familiar (the calculator), we can make educational decisions that reflect our understanding of what is being taught (how to think!), available technology (which makes obsolescent some forms of thought), and wisdom that comes from life experience.
Yesterday, my daughter was retaking a math test because she was not satisfied with her initial score. She has a math learning disability, and therefore leans heavily on a calculator for some aspects of algebra. A setting changed on her Texas Instruments (TI) calculator while it was in her backpack, and the factoring capability she relies on was not calibrated as it needed to be. No adult instructor in the “learning center” where she was taking the test had a clue about how to help her with her fancy TI calculator. They offered her a Casio calculator, but they didn’t know how to get the Casio calculator to display factors. She went to an expert math teacher who was on her prep hour and available. This math teacher understood what my daughter was wanting from her TI calculator, but explained that she had no idea how to fix the setting on the TI calculator — this teacher was only familiar with the school’s fancy Casio calculators! Eventually, my daughter found where to change the setting, made a lucky guess on what it should be, and was able to use her calculator again.
I don’t have time to fully flesh out where I am going with this right now — perhaps I’ll write it all out this evening — but the irony! A math-whiz teacher can’t suss out an unfamiliar calculator? What does this say about people in general, the state of education, and how all of this intersects with technology?
When a “Coalition of the Willing” smacks up against an army of the capable the outcome is as predictable as gravity.

Yet another open letter to Socialists
Socialists, I have an innovative concept for you. Stick with me for a minute here. I know this may seem to not compute at first.
Real pragmatism is most Pragmatic™.
It may SEEM like dishonesty, word-salad, gaslighting, and so on is a superpower, a cheat code you could use and others cannot, but what if doing real actual things in actual reality is an even HIGHER cheat code?
For example, you put so much effort into Cloward-Piven making government NOT work, such that the people who want to shrink the thing you like – The State -are making it work for its intended purpose way better than you, the people who LOVE government. It’s to the point where you’re openly, actively resisting making the State function.
So you thought that underhanded destruction would get your way, when that destruction DISCREDITS THE STATE more than anything. What if you did a Long March Through The Institutions where you constantly did what DOGE is doing? What would that look like, hundreds of thousands of Socialists embedded in the system ruthlessly eliminating waste and corruption, making sure to deliver the services they were trusted with? People would say hey, The State is the most awesomest thing ever, give them more money, give them a bigger slice of the GDP, we DEMAND it!!!
You’d have been there decades ago if you had even just TRIED.
But NOW everybody hates you. Knows you’re purposely cloward-pivening everything into uselessness and anti-society, anti-actual community (as opposed to Community™) actions WORSE than mere uselessness. Stirring up hate across every cross-section of society to Fight Hate™. You’ve been so obsessed with your primitive, superstitious Papal dispensation to do any evil that you forgot that making things actually work is what actually works.
I know that sounds complicated and like I need to write a 1,000 page book where I establish a whole new vocabulary with double triple new meanings for old words in order to explain it to you – like wait, how would that WORK? No sir, things working is what works. You’re going out of your comfort zone, but don’t be scared. Give it a minute before you demand the standard socialist word salad.
So you took over the institutions and then DIDN’T do a tour de force – see? see how good it is when The State does all the things? Nah, what’s the use, right?
What else? You indoctrinated quite a lot of trust fund babies and other elites, such that they were able to destroy beer brands, razor brands, entertainment conglomerates, etc by making them promulgate the latest cutting edge Socialism. You were able to make entire countries known for their industrial capacity destroy that capacity on the basis of the latest, most advanced Socialist ideas. You had control over not hundreds of billions of dollars, but trillions on a yearly basis.
Why didn’t you do something COOL, like buy a bunch of scrubland in Oklahoma and make an entirely new Socialist City? To show how well it works?
You wouldn’t have even had to make it REALLY work, you could have just kept funneling the Billions we know they stole/wasted into it. Just keep supporting it year after year at a total loss. Just lie, say see! The Socialism is working! Pictures of people using flying cars, wearing futuristic all-white outfits, basically Bladerunner but inside an Apple store.
You had ALL they needed to DO the socialism, but you just ruined things and complained. Hell, you could have FAKED the Socialism and that would have had an actually-pragmatic public-relations effect, wouldn’t it? (no, we prefer spoke in wheel. shake fist at sky. damn you capitalism!)
It’s exactly the same problem as women being mad at men for Womens’ Basketball and Soccer not being a huge success. 50% of the planet’s population is women, but it failed commercially — men’s fault. HOW???? Women could not or would not make womens’ basketball and soccer a success by participation — they wanted the men to watch THEIR womens’ sports FOR THEM to make it a success, which they “failed” to do.
It’s the same with Socialists. Undermine institutions and government, sure. Indoctrinate people that Socialists should dominate institutions and government, sure. Make the actual institutions and government work? Do a case study, a proof of concept project, that works? No.
you keep indoctrinating while not doing it yourselves because in your hearts, you believe you cannot do it.
This is why you keep seeking out access to capitalism and capitalists while indoctrinating – you are hoping someone else, someone capable, will do the Socialism FOR YOU0. Just pour your complaints and wishes and ideology into everyone everywhere and, as if it is one giant universal complaint box bob, surely SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE will get the message and do the thing.
So when you get serious and try to do it yourselves, you announce “This is The Real Socialism! We’re really doing it this time! Pinky swear THIS is the real one” and it fails horribly. Or you do this futile thing where you ruin everything, make everyone hate you, while complaining and demanding someone else, someone competent, do it for you.
I’d like to offer you a way out. Competency is both intimidating and difficult to conceptualize at this point due to the degree to which you’ve made your own vocabulary monumentally confusing.
YOU say families are socialist. Clearly, if you try to do a mix, like, “What if I did 30% Family Socialism and 70% The Real Socialism™,” you’ll fail, because in no time, you’ll be purple-haired and noseringed lecturing The Family during Thanksgiving on how they need to Do Better™ while Cloward-Pivening™ the household finances to Break Down The System of Oppression™.
You are a threat to yourself and others. You need to put yourself into receivership. You’re like the screwup friend who is finally told to just join the Army because they’ll make you keep a schedule, eat regular meals, get exercise, learn a few skills, and most importantly learn discipline, like making your bed every day. YOU agree that you cannot do it.
You like Family. You say Family is Socialism. Well, we are that thing you like, aren’t we. You JUST said so.
So just join a 10-child Catholic family and just do what they do, live as they live, say the things they say, believe the things they believe. Families are the socialism that has worked for as long as there has been hominids. But remember that you believe that you have to be MORE than merely an Ally™. Simply serving Family in all ways, saying only things that promote Family will not be enough -you must be, you already acknowledge, you need to be MORE than an Ally.
Meet your new Overlords, Socialists. Your new teachers. Once you have copied their Socialist success, gone to church every Sunday, learned your Catechisms and so on, you’ll be ready to spread your success to other Socialists who haven’t figured it out yet.
NATO LIES
This might be a good time for NATO Sec.-Gen. to explain what NATO is all about.Are they really a defense alliance?
Then why are meddling with Ukraine, a country that is not a member?
The argument that strengthening Ukraine means weakening Russia does not count:
As long they are not under attack, any initiative must be consider aggression and not attack.What was NATO’s business in Afghanistan?
In Libya?
In Syria?
None of these countries attacked NATO members.And what is NATO’s business with China and Taiwan?
Trump made clear that if Europe sends soldiers to Ukraine, and if those soldiers get attacked, their country can not call for Article 5-assistance.
Why does Trump have to say that, why is the NATO Sec.-Gen.silent on this topic?Why does the NATO Sec.-Gen. not have anything to say on NATO’s failure to prevent the war in Ukraine?
After all, NATO’s defense spending is several times that of Russia.
After all, NATO has been moving forces closer and closer to Russia’s border, not least in Ukraine.
NATO holds nuclear exercises every year, NATO has held several large excises in Eastern Europe, just before the war.
Yet, none of this posturing has deterred Russia from invading Ukraine.And none of the preparations NATO has made since 2014 has put NATO into a position to help Ukraine stop Russia in its tracks, swiftly after the invasion.
Quite the contrary, just as in Afghanistan, NATO is about to lose another war.How about NATO Sec.-Gen. stands up and explains what NATO is all about.
Now. And in the future? Why do we need NATO, and what does NATO need to look like to do its job?Posted by: Marvin | Mar 15 2025

Ask an expert, to forecast you future
For positive and negative population projections, you can refer to the work of Adrian Raftery, a prominent statistician and demographer who has contributed to probabilistic population projections for the United Nations.
His work explores both optimistic and challenging scenarios for global population trends.Additionally, the United Nations Population Division regularly publishes reports like the “World Population Prospects,” which provide a range of projections based on different assumptions.
These reports are widely regarded as authoritative sources for understanding future population dynamics.1 https://www.demographic-research.org/articles/articlesbyauthor/1565

The Cost Of Security: The Impact Of Higher Defense Spending On Debt-Laden Nations
by Tyler Durden
Saturday, Mar 15, 2025 – 06:20 AM
Authored by Robert Burrows via BondVigilantes.com,In an era of rising geopolitical tensions, many nations are ramping up defence spending to bolster security. However, for countries already burdened with high debt, this creates a fiscal dilemma: how to fund military expansion without worsening financial instability.
Nowhere is this debate more pressing than in Europe, where Germany—historically the continent’s fiscal anchor, undertook a historic change to its fiscal policy.
The burden of debt and defence
An increase in defence spending presents a strict trade-off for heavily indebted countries. Governments must either:Raise taxes – politically unpopular and potentially damaging to growth.
Cut other spending – risking social discontent as welfare programs, infrastructure, or education suffer.
Borrow more – worsening fiscal deficits and increasing interest costs.
Many western nations, including France, Belgium and the UK, already have debt-to-GDP ratios exceeding 90%, a level often associated with slower economic growth and rising debt-servicing costs. Higher interest rates make borrowing more expensive, meaning every additional dollar or euro spent on defence further strains government finances.
Germany, with its historically cautious fiscal approach, has long provided Europe with a sense of stability. But if Berlin abandons its “Schuldenbremse” (debt brake), the consequences could ripple across the entire region.
Germany’s debt brake: The last fiscal anchor in Europe is creaking!
If Germany does abandon its debt brake, two major risks emerge:
Loss of fiscal discipline across Europe
Germany has historically been the economic stabiliser of the eurozone, often pushing for fiscal restraint in countries like Italy, Spain, and France. If Germany embraces deficit spending, other nations may follow suit, leading to a more relaxed approach to debt across Europe.
This could weaken confidence in European government bonds, raising borrowing costs for highly indebted nations.
Increased risk of inflation and market instability
More deficit spending will likely fuel inflationary pressures
Investors will demand higher yields on European sovereign bonds, putting additional strain on public finances.
A fractured European fiscal policy could weaken the euro, making imports more expensive and eroding purchasing power.
What happens next?
Tighter monetary policy: If increased government spending fuels inflation, central banks may be forced to keep interest rates higher for longer, slowing economic growth.Greater EU fiscal integration: If Germany relaxes its debt rules, there may be renewed calls for collective EU borrowing (like the COVID recovery fund) to share the burden. Will the Europhiles finally get their wish, or will we see a slow Balkanisation of Europe as high outstanding debt forces countries’ hands?
Market reactions: Investors could reassess European sovereign risk, leading to rising bond yields, particularly for countries with weaker fiscal positions. This could introduce a new level of uncertainty and volatility into the European market.
Ultimately, while stronger defence capabilities are necessary in an uncertain world, the financial cost could be as destabilising as what is raging on Europe’s doorstep.
If Germany, Europe’s traditional fiscal anchor, shifts toward looser debt policies, the eurozone could face a new era of fiscal uncertainty—one that challenges the economic stability of the entire continent.
For now, the fiscal boost will be seen as a positive, higher growth, higher inflation and a stronger euro.
Also, don’t forget that it’s not just Germany increasing spending. Spain, Italy, Belgium, and Portugal need to increase defence spending considerably from here, which should fuel growth and inflation further.
The UK is in a similarly challenging position. The UK government must carefully navigate its foreign policy to maintain strong economic and security ties with both Europe and the US, balancing conflicting interests. It seeks close trade and regulatory alignment with the EU to protect economic and financial stability while avoiding commitments that could constrain its post-Brexit sovereignty.
At the same time, it prioritises a deep security and economic partnership with the US, aligning on defence and geopolitical strategy, even when American policies diverge from European interests. This balancing act requires diplomatic agility to avoid being caught between two major allies with differing trade, defence, and global governance priorities.
With the tectonic plates shifting, time will tell how this all unfolds.
The multiplication trick only works if the first two digits sum to 10 and the last two digits are the same:
(10a+c)(10b+c) = 100ab + 10ac + 10bc + cc
= 100ab + 10(a+b)c + cc
= 100ab + 100c + cc
= 100(ab+c) + ccA trick of limited use

Dr J , Freemasonry is talmudism for the goy, but you already knew that, shitforbrain, pompous, serial talkin jew motherfucker that you are. Verbosity, your specialty, doesn’t imply intelligence, it implies the opposite. I notice you like starting fights instead of letting people speak their minds. Ever finish a fight, dickhead?
Ed Dowd today, “Capital Gains on stocks are 25% of tax revenue.” I knew it was high, but not that high. They are really taxing INFLATION. You print money, digit go up, tax digit. That is, Coca Cola is the same company but worse, yet the stock value rises. Nothing was created…YOU ARE TAXING STANDING ASSETS. …Just as they are saying they want to do for a “Wealth Tax”. Tax Bezos for the VALUE of Amazon stock he holds and hasn’t sold. It’s simple to see just a year or two of that and ALL Means of Production will be in the hands of the State.
But Tax revenue COLLAPSES if the Market collapses. Unemployment go up. Huh. What a dia-lemmmma. IF ONLY all these nations would piss us off and go tit-for-tat on tariffs, golly we could raise tax revenue in a hum-dinger of a Recession, eh? Welp, too bad no chance of that I guess we’ll just have to die.
ALSO if housing prices fall…which they are now. Rents are already falling as people self-deport, and that is “DEFLATION”, in CPI accounting. (Powell can hold, crush Europe then print mad without causing ‘inflation’)
What else? EUROPE is doing the same. They’re saying, “You’re not Taxed Enough Already” (T.E.A) you turning white and having your heat cut off the dole in Newcastle. So have WE got a deal for you! Because we need weapons in a purely voluntary war, with no one attacking us, and we can’t win, what we’re going to do is STEAL all your “Unused Money”. That is, all European “Savings”. Helllllloooooo Cyprus! “Member? Member berries?
Okay, um, that sounds like THEFT, like I NEED that savings, that’s why I saved it, and like I won’t get it back. ALSO, newsflash, there’s no such thing as “Unused money” you psycho Ursula. WTF do you THINK money is doing in the bank and why isn’t it there on hand when I ask? BECAUSE IT’S LOANED OUT, and IS working, you retards.
“As if I had the money back in a safe. The money’s not here. Your money’s in Joe’s house…right next to yours. And in the Kennedy house, and Mrs. Macklin’s house, and a hundred others! Why, you’re lending them the money to build, and then, they’re going to pay it back to you as best they can.” George Bailey, It’s a Wonderful Life.
Sooo, if you wanted a clue of money fleeing T.F. out of Europe and paying $5M for an overnight visa, there you are. Not yet, but I’d be getting the paperwork. At the same time, what’s going up? German Stock Market. Oh yeah. Like for reals? Or for Zimbabwe?
NATO = EU army. That’s why. But you already knew that.
Celtic: yes I already knew that. But I’m just pointing out the logical problem. If it’s the Jews, it’s the Jews, if it’s the Whites, it the Jews, if it’s the Blacks, it’s the Jews… See the problem here? Not that that can’t be true, but really? If that were true, you’d at least need to explain it better to persuade people. I’m not convinced.
Why? Well if this were at all true, then they are the master race indeed, superior to us in every way! Therefore it’s only logical to bow down to them and get out of the way!

I wonder what currency is used to pay those two manks for such unAmerican nonsense.
permanent resident (Green Card holder), you have the right to:
Live permanently in the United States provided you do not commit any actions that would make you removable under immigration lawWork in the United States at any legal work of your qualification and choosing. (Please note that some jobs will be limited to U.S. citizens for security reasons)Be protected by all laws of the United States, your state of residence and local jurisdictions
permanent resident, you are:
Required to obey all laws of the United States and localities;Required to file your income tax returns and report your income to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities;Expected to support the democratic form of government (“support” does not include voting.

The problem of solving setting issues on electronic devices, is each one was programmed by a different person.

However your logic will be different, until you have enough experience with their logic to adapt.Another example of a lost skill.

Look carefully at the choice of words used by Putin regarding surrendering and living.
Only the word “Ukrainian” is used.
If you ain’t Ukrainian without a swastika, you are as good as dead!
So no policy change here!
Afterall Putin is a trained lawyer!Wall Street vs Main Street:
Following up Dr. D’s excellent analogy today, I believe a pre 1890 US economy only had about 6% devoted to financing.
Today I think that number runs about 18% or triple.
Some of the 18% could be related to world financing activities.
I suspect most of the 6% to 18% is more likely due to financialization of everything.
None of this really produces anything of value except to bleed the real economy dry.
Wall Street strangling Main Street to death.
Eventfully Wall Street needs to shrink in size for the real economy to grow.Robin Hood Trump is trying to rebalance things toward Main Street away from Wall Street!
From entitled to unentitled.
From rich to poor.
That is what the big sqwak is mostly about.
Sure, you can take candy from a baby, but try that trick with a 2 year old kid!P.S. My Uncle Doctor of CRS fame noted on a visit to sunny England, that there was a family member buried in the same row as the original Robin Hood.
So we likely had an outlaw, to add to a witch, in our family tree.
Feels about right.
I am not exactly an upstanding deplorable!Krusk:
Yesterday I noted that Krusk is the first time the Russians have completely surrounded the Ukrainians and cut off any retreat.
I think we can all guess why just this one time, no cauldron!
The Russians don’t want any of these Ukrainian Nazis to escape alive!
Them being dead will shorten the war too.
People will remember this!
Don’t march on Moscow, if you want to live!Normal Russian army doctrine calls for always leaving an escape path for your enemy.
That doesn’t mean the escaping enemy gets off scot free!
You are allowed to kill as many escaping enemy as you can!
Sun Tui and all that.In WW2 the Russian had to recapture over 1,000 cities from the retreating Germans.
Slowly but surely they rediscovered Sun Tui’s wisdom!
And they haven’t forgotten that painful lesson either.
It is codified in the Russian Army Manual!Timestamp Krainer talks about the great and practical effects of autocrats or dictators.
That’s fine, I understand. Just don’t call it something else is all I ask.
Once again, The US’s 30-day ceasefire proposal is a lie• Russia Needs Permanent End to Ukraine Crisis, Not Minsk 3.0-Style Pause (Sp.)
The US’s 30-day ceasefire proposal “sidesteps” the “root causes of this conflict, (US-led NATO expansion),” with the alliance’s European members being called on to more than double their defense spending, Berletic pointed out.
“US and European leaders eagerly urged a temporary ceasefire and the creation of conditions under which Ukrainian forces could recover, reorganize, rearm, and restart hostilities at a future date with factors leaning better in their and their Western sponsors’ favor,” the former US Marine recalled.
Once again there are urgent attempts to pause the fighting to buy time for the Ukrainians and ultimately buy time for Washington’s proxy war,”
Putin expressed support for a potential 30-day ceasefire in the Ukraine conflict,
but has raised concerns regarding how it can be implemented.
Issues ranging from the fate of Ukrainian troops trapped in Kursk,
to Ukraine’s ongoing forced mobilization,
to monitoring for violations,
and arms supplies to Kiev must be dealt with before Russia agrees to a ceasefire, Putin added.
A signal to speed up peace talks.UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy told the press that Moscow must accept the ceasefire without conditions. (Hehehehe, not very diplomatic)

Veteran Hungarian journalist Gabor Stier agrees. “Orban is saying we have suffered from the war, and now will suffer from Ukraine’s membership in the EU, because the EU will collapse if Ukraine becomes a member.

Signed on Friday, the executive order targets seven federal agencies, including one that provides funding for museums and one that deals with homelessness. It also targets the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which oversees the state-owned Voice of America (VOA), along with Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) and Radio Free Asia, which are separate not-for-profit entities that are also fully funded from the US budget. All three claim to provide unbiased news to audiences in around 100 countries, but are widely seen as propaganda outlets.
