ParticipantI am “impressed” (/s) with how Zerohedge has been destroyed. It used to have dubious articles but a thriving comment section, then the Jews (disguised as Google) who now “own” that corp decided that they should censor the comments section; the result was thousands of commenters being banned, eradicated.
Now the comment section is like listening to a teenage girls’ changing room; unfulfilling. I guess that is how the Jews keep us under the whip, reading ((their)) media, ((they)) ban all interesting people until all the people worth reading have gone.
Now it is the Tyler Jew-lovers (Trump the Jew lovers) shit hole, of no value to anyone, except ring worm.

Participant…..the American side must take responsibility for the war it started and fueled..”
Trump is ‘mediating’ Nothing.
The “Empire of Lies” is a loser of wars as an offical policy.
Because war is just a racket to a mafia.
Winner get to dictate terms.
Russia is a Winner
The US, with Trump as it’s mouth piece need to admit not only defeat but admit they started this war to steal Russia’s assets.
In front of the whole World.
But Trump’s america first mindset prevents him from doing so.
So Russia will just continue to grind the fake state of “Ukraine” into dust.
It’s not a hard concept to grasp.

Participant@TDK: Thanks for the Eton-accented-AI-narrated video yesterday, which is different from what I had found, yet bears the same title and subject matter.
Michio Kaku: “AI Reveals Voyager’s Terrifying Image Of Who’s Sending Data”
I, again express my interest in the possibility that advanced interstellar AI used V-Ger-1 as a conduit to pass an A.I. Koan to NASA’s quantum-AI, whiuch perplexed NASA’a quantun AI to the point of dysfunction, whereupon the human support crew shut it off.

ParticipantThe first step is to imagine things can get better. That’s often the hardest.
“”We Study Fascism…We’re Leaving The US”: NYTimes Runs Video Of Yale Profs Fleeing To Canada
Yayyyyyyy!!!!!! Finally a Liberal who can keep their word! So happy!
…Moving to a nation that has no free speech and arrests and debanks you for protesting. Especially if you’re a Sihk and wear a turban. No true Canadian is brown, Trudeau says.
“U.S. blueprint to drag Russia into a costly war, published by RAND Corporation in April 2019.”
Mention it all the time. And the $6B that made sure Ukraine was not a legitimate country, which toppled their legally-elected democracy.
What level? A: There’s no such number to wake people back to reality. The world may never know.
Bonus: they then call it a Conspiracy, when 100% of it was right out in the open, reported, printed and signed.
Speaking of, that was “Adam Ruins Everything” with Tim Pool yesterday which made some small splash, I think mostly because Tim lost his temper. And Adam was Insufferable. What did we find though? He doesn’t know what he knows, before he knows it, because he both knows and doesn’t know. This used to be a mystery but we’ve all got a handle on Woke Mind by now. Tim brought up the “Very Fine People Hoax” as a long list of things people/media missing, and Adam goes “Yup, that’s true, know all about it”. Time says, “Yes it’s been openly debunked for ten YEARS and is now even in Snopes” and Adams says “I don’t know anything about it, I don’t live in your weird media bubble.” The Media bubble of Snopes? Adam-whose-show-is-to-inform-and-debunk everything?
He JUST SAID, previous sentence, he knows all about it. Next sentence, “I’ve never heard of the Trump/Nazi statement before, this is the first time hearing about it, ackshully.” Yeah for like an hour with subjects like this. Why? Because Tim fences this all day so even though he’s trying to be judicious, he just instinctively knows how to get Adam to line up two opposing frames into one snapshot like this. Adam I presume is never challenged, hasn’t been in years, so he didn’t realize any humans on earth still asked questions and debated facts.
Perhaps this means we’ve built, are building antibodies to this behavior, because, Ackshully, it’s kind of amazing we all took them at face value, in good faith arguments up til now. When they clearly show they’re not, they’re OppositeLand all over, in every word. Maybe we, good people, can’t digest/process raw nonsense accurately? It tends to bounce off we call “The Benefit of the Doubt”? Whatever it is, it’s fading. “They can’t REALLY be that evil” , ackshully.
Bring that up not because new, it’s the SAAAAAAAAAAAAAME thing, but because the change is we’re done. Like the Shiloh donations. We done. We out.
You can’t just say a thing and its opposite anymore. You can say it, but nobody’s listening.
“• Kiev’s Backers ‘Frustrated’ By Trump’s Stance On Ukraine Talks (RT)
Why would I care again? I can’t see you from my house, I don’t care what happens to you. That’s called “Minding your own business” or in legal terms: Sovereignty.
“• US Opposes ‘Endless Negotiations’ On Ukraine – Rubio (RT)
I’m not sure why we care about this either. Every day they talk, they lose. Every week they drag it out, more territory is lost. So drag it out forever, you’re only hurting yourselves.
“if diplomacy had been permitted by Washington in early 2022 instead of being sabotaged.”
You mean, “Sabotaged by ENGLAND”? BoJo say?
“the American side must take responsibility for the war it started and fueled..”
Welp, all the geniuses say too late for that, it’s Trump’s war, he planned, started, funded, wanted, and owns it. So! No peace then, I guess! War until the sun burns out I say! …Or maybe you could NOT do that, blame the person who made those decisions (Blinken/Biden) and just say “It’s the previous administration”? Ya know, as opposed to killing another million men, and having a worldwide nuclear exchange? Like, a Politician blaming the other guy???? I never heard the like! Can you do that? JHC.
It’s not Trump ending the war, he needs to drag all of US over to ending the war. That’s who he’s talking to. “Us” not being the people who never wanted or cared, but like the Beltway, the Media, etc. Insiders.
“Kiev negotiators eventually admitting Ukrainian capitulation means a NATO capitulation and an Empire of Chaos capitulation. That’s the ultimate anathema for the US ruling classes.”
Yes, THEM, not us. And it’s not “US” ruling classes, it’s the “West” and not even them as citizens in Poland don’t want this either. It’s EXCLUSIVELY the Lettermen, CIA, MI6, WEF, EU, And your Linsday Grahams, Blackrock, Lockheeds. Rachel Maddow and Katherine Maher. Hardly anyone. You could put them all in a high school gym and gas them. Nothing to do with us, we’ve been voting against them since Nixon. THIS IS WHO HE HAS TO JAM MEDICINE INTO. You’re going to take this spoonful if I have to hold your face and pour it in. Not us. Da kidz. We’d have Luigi hold them down and help.
“• What Does Russia Have To Gain From The EU Now? (Bordachev)
I’ve been interested by the argument that Europe is a s—thole and nobody would want it. There’s nothing there. Like the “White Island” argument, there’s something to it. “But didn’t the USSR want Europe in 1960?” NO, they did not. We were given the underlying meta-assumption that they did and would have, but that’s only near the truth, it was not the truth, and the Real Truth matters. If they didn’t want it even then, they want it a lot less now. They want it to be NORMAL. Stop putting up walls. But Europe are racist colonists, they can’t help themselves.
“Trump’s Middle East Theatricals Were All About Putting Bibi In His Place (Jay)
People are coming around to agreeing on this. Yesterday, “Trump had negotiated a mega-pan hostage release” probably took a lot of time, effort and was proud of it. Hearing of this, Nutsy bombed the remaining hospital into rubble, sabotaging the release.
Do you see why Trump is pissed now? This isn’t like a new thing, but “Not even this???” Really, Bibi? And you think I’m going to be friends after this? Bibi then says “He doesn’t own the votes in the Senate, I do: suck it Orange Man”. Hey is that a GOOD idea, or a BAD idea, you think? Word on the ground is the same, they’re in zombie suicide-cult mode, incapable of action. It appears Israel will cease to exist since in so much shock they can’t respond. Their actions are hebephrenic, incoherent. Like I said last year.
“we [the Republicans] had always been “war and peace,”
You mean like how Nixon was the Peace President? “Tin soldiers and Nixon’s coming”? “We make s—t up!” We just SAY Republicans do this. What was the last war Republicans started? Bush. Even Lincoln, even Korea, all Democrat. Dropped nuclear bombs on Civilians: Democrat. Gassed Bonus Protestors: Democrat.
“• Moody’s Delivers First US Credit Rating Downgrade Since 1917 (RT)
Extraordinarily bizarre. Okay, so WHAT, specifically, catalyzed this? Surely there is an event, a threshold that was crossed? Nothing I’ve heard of. If anything it’s gotten slightly better if theory (slashing spending) if not in fact (Not passed by Congress yet, may bait/switch to military). No measuable fallout from Tariffs yet, although that may occur.
So: “We Make S—t Up!” That the whole PURPOSE of being “Authority” – to make stuff up that isn’t true and have it accepted and obeyed on your namesake alone, contrary to all reason.
Back up: now SHOULD this be done? Probably since 1980. Even the Clinton budget 1999 was a total sham. Okay, and if you remove UST’s from AAA, then Europe falls where? Junk Bond status in comparison? So…when can we expect you to review Germany, a nation with no economy, and rate them as bankrupt? If Germany is Bankrupt, what is Greece?
Back up and look left: Armstrong says debt will shift from Public (Trust) to Private (faith). No one will trust governments, though why they ever did since 1910 is a mystery.
“Biden’s DOJ – Merrick Garland was AG In Name Only for a Specific Reason (CTH)
Demonstrating again how complicated this s—t is.
“DARES Dr. Fauci and Rochelle Walensky to take all 72 childhood vaccine doses on stage”
We’ve already seen they believe and also don’t believe everything. We keep finding new ways of demonstrating it. So taking 72 at once isn’t safe? Safe as Water, like Round-Up. If they’re safe, it’s safe to take 72, or 172, right?
No one can maths anymore: the same crew shivering in seizures in the corner over RFK rounding up and gassing Autistics (any girl who ever watched “Star Wars”) and that there was a single case of measles in Texas, well compare the body of maths: All diseases plummeted due to clean water, sanitation, and refrigeration, AND THEN the vaccines came out. …Which is hard to believe, but there are the numbers. We know, what 10,000 kids “injured” in all types from vaccines? 10,000 guaranteed harms. Vs FIVE measles cases? Which number is larger, 10,000 or 5?
Worse, when we had a 20(?) person outbreak of measles at Harvard – le plus maximum uber vaxx ground zero – it was because they’d had the shots like 5 years before, in high school. Sooooo….your vaccine causes 10,000 injuries AND you need to give it <5 years? So you have a 10,000 x 25 (Average Mortality age /5) chance of injury? For just this one? Yes, add them up and you get a de-facto guaranteed of all-persons injured, always, 100% because you bought just that many lottery tickets.
That’s even IF they do everything they say, and we’re only at commonly-accepted injury rates. Right? I’m not making this up, this is their data + 5th Grade math.
“”The formulation [for mRNA injections] was chosen [in] the full knowledge it would accumulate in the ovaries of girls”.
And worse, the girls believed EVERYTHING. Still do. If there were any chance at a minimum it should affect the guys, as fewer of them trusted it. Worse yet, no one will believe it, ’cause they don’t wanna. It’s too mean. The only facts are nice facts now.
“REMOVE the current CDC recommendation for pregnant women, teens and children”
Like Trump in Ukraine and Gaza, it’s not about the thing – it’s about selling it TO YOU. If you already were on board, he could just do it. It’s because all these…power people…won’t admit and will lose their minds and start shooting – and HAVE, already – that he needs this long wind up and pitch while people are dying. YOU are the problem, not them. In fact, YOU could have already not taken it, because it wasn’t required and indeed was illegal. Both the war and the drug. YOU didn’t do that. YOU won’t do that now. So they need to soft-sell to get THEM there.
…And of course that’s over the quite opposite screaming from us on this side, who daily say “arrest someone already” for example.
The People. Are. The Government. Not “Them”.

Global debt levels are expected to continue rising in 2025, driven by government borrowing and corporate debt issuance. Here are some key trends to watch:
– Record-high global debt: The total global debt stock surged past $320 trillion in 2024 and is projected to climb further.
– Higher borrowing costs: Refinancing risks are increasing as interest rates remain elevated, making debt more expensive for governments and corporations.
– Emerging markets borrowing more: Debt in emerging markets is approaching $105 trillion, with government borrowing accounting for a significant portion of the increase.
– Shifting investor landscape: Central banks are reducing their holdings of sovereign debt, while households and foreign investors are taking on a larger share.
– Climate-related financing: Governments may need to borrow an additional $38 trillion to meet climate and sustainability goals by 2028.
While debt levels are rising, the ability of countries and corporations to manage their obligations will depend on economic growth, inflation trends, and investor confidence.
Do you think rising debt is a cause for concern, or just part of the economic cycle?Managing global debt requires a mix of economic policies and financial strategies. Here are some key approaches:
– Fiscal consolidation: Governments can reduce deficits by cutting spending or increasing taxes to stabilize debt levels.
– Debt restructuring: Renegotiating repayment terms can help countries manage their obligations more effectively.
– Financial repression: Keeping interest rates artificially low can reduce the burden of debt over time, as seen in post-war economies.
– Debt-for-environment swaps: Some nations exchange debt relief for commitments to environmental protection, promoting sustainability while reducing financial strain.
– International debt relief programs: Initiatives like the HIPC (Heavily Indebted Poor Countries) program support struggling economies by forgiving or restructuring debt.
With global debt projected to exceed 100% of GDP by 2030, balancing economic growth with debt sustainability will be a major challenge.

ParticipantHimself it was who wrote
His rank, and quartered his own coat.
There is no king nor sovereign state
That can fix a hero’s rate;
Each to all is venerable,
Cap-a-pie invulnerable,
Until he write, where all eyes rest,
Slave or master on his breast.I saw men go up and down,
In the country and the town,
With this prayer upon their neck,—
‘Judgment and a judge we seek.’
Not to monarchs they repair,
Nor to learned jurist’s chair;
But they hurry to their peers,
To their kinsfolk and their dears;
Louder than with speech they pray,—
‘What am I! companion, say.’
And the friend not hesitates
To assign just place and mates;
Answers not in word or letter,
Yet is understood the better;
Is to his friend a looking-glass,
Reflects his figure that doth pass.
Every wayfarer he meets
What himself declared repeats,
What himself confessed records,
Sentences him in his words;
The form is his own corporal form,
And his thought the penal worm.Yet shine forever virgin minds,
Loved by stars and purest winds,
Which, o’er passion throned sedate,
Have not hazarded their state;
Disconcert the searching spy,
Rendering to a curious eye
The durance of a granite ledge
To those who gaze from the sea’s edge.
It is there for benefit;
It is there for purging light;
There for purifying storms;
And its depths reflect all forms;
It cannot parley with the mean,—
Pure by impure is not seen.
For there’s no sequestered grot,
Lone mountain tarn, or isle forgot,
But Justice, journeying in the sphere,
Daily stoops to harbor there.Astraea – Ralph Waldo Emerson
