James McNeill Whistler Symphony in White, No. 3 1867 • Ukraine Bits: Russian Artillery – Counter Attacks – New Missile Systems (MoA) • Biden Ad
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle May 31 2022]Get ready for a lot more of this –
“Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS)” – would be funny if it weren’t so tragic.
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/woman-31-who-went-gym-27098878
From the Guardian: “They don’t have any way they can tackle this problem.”
They are tackling it right now! By they I mean TPTB. Billions were going to be returned to the earth this decade with or without “their” help and “they” know it. TPTB were afraid without their help it would be them along with the rest. They don’t realize that with their help it is more likely they will helped along too!

Get ready for a lot more of this –
The fallout from this Covid catastrophy (vaccines + big pharma + medical professions) will be with us for at least a generation (I think longer)…
The saddist thing was the complete failure of critical thinking skills exhibited by the majority of the world’s population…
…which is to say that the majority do not understand the term; “critical thinking” and the responsibility it entails…Sad warning: this is long. It may be my longest ever. May break into parts. Sorry, stopping WWIII does that to a guy.
“The Atlantic”: As Safe and Effective as a news source as Moderna is as a vaccine. (Banned in 7 countries).
WHO Treaty. As long reported. No one believed it, ‘cause: reasons. Anyone who repeated what they wrote so was unhinged, and probably a domestic terrorist on an FBI watchlist. And probably are today, AS they attempt to enact it. It’s a front-page headline conspiracy theory. Front page, but still untrue. These do not conflict nor cause distress in the population in any way. Why should it? It won’t if you just “Do what you’re told.” Believe whatever you were last told, in this case.
“Mastercard CEO: SWIFT Payment System May Be Replaced by CBDCs in Five Years”
Tracked central bank digital currencies. Don’t they know that’s an unhinged conspiracy theory? There’s one of these every day now. Like vaccine microchips being offered for sale by Pfizer this week. It’s a conspiracy theory AND a thing you can buy online now! True = False.
“This delay action should allow for time to build a new force of 100,000 new troops”
He’s right: that is a good way to communicate to bloodthirsty NeoCons, who are inbred morons dense as a rock, that they’ve lost. If it takes 100,000 men to MAYBE keep fighting, well, we don’t have 100,000 new men. Unless you’re sending the Poles, and don’t think they haven’t thought of it.
“President Joe Biden told reporters at the White House on Monday that the U.S. won’t send Ukraine rocket systems that could possibly reach Russia.”
That’s a lie. He said it: it’s a lie. Speaking = Lie. If you’re standing on the border and can throw a Bandy Ball into Russia, then the rockets would reach, wouldn’t they? So they’re long-range heavy missiles that are short range. They go one mile? A bullet goes one mile, you have to be far further away from the enemy for that to work. Does the reporter ask? Hahahahaaha! Of course not! Didn’t you see them threaten to expel the Africans if they ever asked a question again?
“In terms of a possible ban on semi-automatic weapons, Biden said, “The Constitution, the Second Amendment, was never absolute,”
Two lies in one sentence! First, “semi-auto” would essentially be “All weapons”. Everything but muskets. Even revolvers are one pull, one bang, same as everything else. So he’s not infringing on 2A, just outlawing every weapon made in the last 100 years. Or 200: original lever-actions are from 1820, although they weren’t full production until the removable magazine of the Spencer in 1860. Guns almost as old as Biden. So “Shall not infringe” except against “Everything.” The usual.
Second, 2A WAS absolute. John Hancock owned WARSHIPS. Congress paid big money to private owners of warships. And the cannon-mortars that could level a fort or a whole city. I remember people – veterans clubs – owning cannons and howitzers and Sherman tanks, although they obviously didn’t target practice with them. You can own a WWII warplane, bomber, etc today. Blackwater runs around with the same.
Would we have to pass an amendment to remove nuclear arms? Probably. But Switzerland is our military model and they “own” or have access to, ALL standard military gear. Grenades, mortars, body armor. If it worked, why doesn’t Switzerland have the highest gun crime in Europe? It’s illegal to have a standing US Army. There has to be an ratified Act of War and a callout of troops. Like every other law, we ignore it and never passed any Amendments.
In any case, can Joe point to either the Constitution and tell me “What shall be infringed”? Besides “everything”?
Lie! implied by these two former lies, lies all the way down: The shooter DID have gun control. He DID have an FBI background check. The police WERE there – you know, the reason “we don’t need to defend OURSELVES” anymore? Since in NYC, CA, and now TX, gun control totally, completely didn’t work, what we need is MOAR. …Oh, and to stop with force, tazers and handcuffs, the parents who would have gone in with a gun as for 55 minutes new shots kept going off and new children kept phoning in.
“there’s simply no rational basis for it in terms of self-protection, hunting.”
LIE! So you’re planning on using a musket, a non-semi-auto, to stop gang violence into your house? 17 bullets seems really, really too few in the situations where that happens. And it does, HereLetMeGoogleThatForYou.com. That’s “Self-protection”. THERE IS NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO HUNTING. The PEOPLE are the government. Therefore, the PEOPLE are the Army. They are protecting themselves from, and hunting, Tyranny. Ask Hamilton.
But if it’s Biden all day, it’s lying all day and I don’t have time.
“Why “Cancel” Russians? (Milacic)”
They were going to invade and STEAL everything and kill everybody instead, duh. And liquidate the nation, sell it to Europe. Like they did and coo about in the 1990s. Putin put a stop to it and made them an equal nation, which is why they hate him so much. It’s all about theft and murder. The odd part is, they’re such morons they continued to just assume they could do this through the whole 2000’s, 30 years to today. Cheney was red-faced screaming they needed to nuke Russia by 1999 at least, and he was right. A bloodthirsty maniac and war criminal, yes, but not wrong.
“The Age of Exterminations VIII – How to Destroy Western Europe (Ugo Bardi)”
We specifically killed 200,000 German men in prison camps at that time. Another of our genocides. Now there are a lot of factors when everything’s been destroyed, but “you’re supposed to be the good guys” when you don’t intentionally plan and execute this? We had just firebombed all the civilians in Dresden and nuked two cities indifferently in Japan. Then we killed 200k civilians in Germany at a go among others. So when did this change from “The Good War”? When did we change from “The Good Guys”? What is that quote about fighting the monster?
RaboBank, following the “common knowledge”. Of idiots who don’t know any facts. Okaaaaay, starting, “Larry Freedman, “Professor Emeritus”...of somewhere, they don’t say.
“The prudent assumption for now is that this is not a short-term emergency but, for those countries supporting Ukraine, a long-term commitment, that there is no easy diplomatic fix, and that Ukraine will keep on fighting for as long as it takes to regain its lost territory.”
Yes, very prudent of the experts to decide that the only outcome is for Ukraine to utterly defeat Russia. …Eventually. Maybe in a thousand years. They’ll wear them out, who knows? That’s what all self-respecting “experts” say. Again, I quote them because they are the Western common knowledge and common opinion.
Next genius? “This war is just getting started”. Funny, that’s not what Kissinger says. Do you know more than he does?
Next genius: “Yet Andrew Michta, Dean of International and Security Studies, tweets:
“As the brutality of Russian war against Ukraine increases, many among Western elites increasingly argue that Kyiv should agree to a cease fire in place to end the carnage. To advocate this is strategic myopia of the highest order, for such a [cease fire] would be tantamount to Russian victory… Too many Western governments seem unable (unwilling?) to recognize that we are at an inflection point in history that happens in four/five generations. This is potentially a system-transforming war.”
Michta is not alone in geostrategic circles in arguing that a Russian Donbas win would cement violent border change as the new global normal,”Unlike the last 20 wars the U.S. fought, of course. We’re in Syria RIGHT NOW on top of the oil and changing the borders. Illegally, as illegal as every day the last 10 years.
Anyway, conclusion is that we can NEVER cease fire. Ever. We can ONLY escalate war with nuclear powers who can vaporize us. You know, and keep doing it every. Single. Hour. Until they DO vaporize us. That’s Schmartz!!! It’s common knowledge vaporization is the only way!
We MUST cause nuclear Armageddon because “Western unity may still be undermined by such Russian tactics” Tactics such as “Winning.” That’s what happens when you’re stupid and you “lose”, Europe, U.S.
Throwaway line? “as Russia flattens most of the Donbas with artillery” No. Donbas has THEIR people. Russians. They WANT Donbas. Intact. It has like, coal and schnizzel. And steel and stuff. So they DID NOT BOMB IT. But facts? Who cares? We have as little to do with those as possible. Russia is flattening the Ukrainian ARMY, not the Russian people. Duh.
“a Donbas ‘win’ may offer Moscow a face-saving way out: Putin might then declare a unilateral ceasefire”
Uh-huh, sure. And then he’ll give away freeeeee gas and wheat to everyone, forever and ever. ‘Cause you called him a Nazi and will imprison him in the Hague forever. He’s going to keep giving the fortune of Russia to you so he can sit at the table with the popular girls and shop in Switzerland. “Unilateral” means “YOU LOST.” If you lost, Putin doesn’t need to save face.
RaboBank “experts” (never trust them with your money) “Germany’s economy minister today bewails that the EU united stance is already “crumbling”, as Europe yet again fails to take any immediate action on energy that would stop Russia fighting *now*, when it counts, because Europe wants to fight this economic war painlessly.”
“Painlessly”. Wow. Okay, we just shut off all oil, all gas, all commodities for all Europeans forever. Decades at least. OR start a Third World War immediately with NO d—n army, no air force, no S400s, and no hypersonic missiles. In fact, since pain is no issue here, I suggest we attack them with sticks and stones. Starting with Finland, since they’re so hot.
We’re equal opportunity, so march every man, woman, and child in all Finland to the border and ATTACK! All 5 Million of them, half the population of Moscow. They’ll be blown up in 30 minutes and we can move on to Sweden, Right? Right? This is what everyone wants, experts, RoboBank, all banks, “Experts”. This is their well-thought out, measured, responsible advice. That’s so we want to prove “Russian tactics” don’t work, that they’re wrong and we’re RIGHT. We need to have mindless, unwavering “Unity”, so we can throw one nation, one civilization, one people after another into annihilation and extinction.
So we can be “Right.” That’ll larn ‘em.
“There is no bread in the shops of most Finnish cities. People say there is no gas in bakeries to make bread.” Can you hear me now? Is the clue phone breaking through this is not a game?
Next Idiot Genius? “Moreover, Secretary of State Blinken does not want to call a Cold war a Cold War, with all the associated policy shifts.”
Um, RaboBank? WE’RE FIGHTING WITH OUR SOLDIERS AGAINST RUSSIA IN UKRAINE RIGHT NOW. And Heavy Weaponry. That’s not a “COLD” war. Duh. Let me speak moron for you:
IT IS WORLD WAR THREE. Now knock it off while you still can.
Continuing experts elsewhere, this time Bill Blain: “There is no doubt the Russians have taken a pasting in Ukraine as a result of flawed intelligence, the corruption of the FSB” Really? No doubt? I HEAR this all the time, but with no supporting facts ever given of any kind. That makes a guy sort of sus. I learned the repeated casualty numbers on all Western media were just “estimates” entirely fabricated by the “17 Intelligence Agencies” that have been wrong about everything since Vietnam but certainly RussiaRussia. So: no casualty reports, or at least not compared to what they expected. Does anyone know what they DID expect? What did the FSB expect? If they’re corrupt why were they only corrupt for 4 weeks last month and not now or before? Bueller?
“The pendulum is swinging to Moscow. After their initial surprise, befuddlement and lack of a war-plan, the Russians now see a way to win.” -Blain
Uh-huh. Because they attacked without a war plan and without expecting to win.
“If they can keep Ukrainian defending forces pinned in place on the Donbas lines, then there is the possibility of encircling them to win a massive propaganda victory.” -Blain
IF? This was day one. The massing of these forces to commit genocide is what started the war. The “possibility”? They’ve been encircled for 3 months. Russia is so “encircled” them that they’re nearly in Odessa on the Romanian border. A “Propaganda” victory? By erasing almost the entirety of the Ukrainian army? …But not an actual victory, only bragging rights.
That’s three lies per sentence. 29 words. And he’s not a disinformation propagandist, but just a guy. Common knowledge. Intelligence of the West.
“The Russians don’t care whether Ukraine retreats or suffers a battlefield defeat. It’s all about the optics and the narrative.”
Great! Then Ukraine should just PRETEND Russia defeated them, let them gain the win, and pop up tomorrow with the full army totally intact in Russia’s rear! Because Russia doesn’t care about REAL armies, right?
JHC on a pogo stick, how do these statements come out of the mouths of breathing adults?!? Is it only the Anglos who have a core reality composed of pure fantasy, fiction, and falsehood? God save us.
Back to reality: “Without Russian and Ukraine food exports, famine is pretty much nailed on, triggering political upheaval, and critically for Europe (Greece, Hungary and Italy) a renewed refugee crisis.”
Yeah, one THEY CREATED. RUSSIA IS SELLING THE FOOD. We won’t take it. The West is Embargoing them and PREVENTING the food. That and Ukraine is so idiotic and irresponsible (cue the stupid Ukrainian jokes) that they LOST ALL THE MINES IN THE BLACK SEA. Which are floating everywhere, landing in civilian towns in Turkey, waiting for ships. So yeah, no break from Lies. With every sentence, every word, every person. Even when they don’t mean to.
I have this weird fantasy it didn’t used to be this way. That yeah, people lied, but not EVERY WORD. Otherwise, we wouldn’t bother to speak, bother to listen. And we did used to do that. Listen. Communicate, I mean.
“Six Million Britons Could Face Power Rationing If Russia Cuts Supplies”
We’re going to keep killing poor Britons until Russia surrenders! The true psycho ex-girlfriend method.
Continuing WWIII: “Iranian Military Base Attacked With Drones ‘Launched From Inside Iran’” Golly, whomever could that be?
A rundown of the NY Times OpEds and the West surrenders: https://consortiumnews.com/2022/05/27/the-new-york-times-shift-on-victory-in-ukraine/ “Russia remains too strong.” ““The United States and NATO are already deeply involved, militarily and economically. Unrealistic expectations could draw them ever deeper into a costly, drawn-out war…” Russia is bankrupting a broke NATO, EU, and US. “Closing the Collapse Gap”. “if Russia is “too strong” to be defeated in Ukraine, it is too strong to be brought down as a superpower.”
“will the neocons in charge give up and move in a reasonable and peaceful direction as the Times editorial demands? This is a fantasy of the first order. …hawks such as Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Under Secretary for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan have no reverse gear; they always double down.”
Good, then we’ll remove them for being failing failures who failed. Again. And protected from the consequences of their actions. By privilege. Again. Injustice. Again. Illegal actions. Again.
“Biden Administration in No Rush to Help Ukraine Negotiate End to War (Jacobin)”
Sure! There are still some Ukrainians Biden hasn’t killed yet. More work to do. Busy busy busy! Note “Jacobin”, however. As every word is a lie, “we are deeply implicated in this war — we can’t pretend we aren’t.” Sure we can: we ARE! So a better headline is “What the heck is the US doing lying about being involved when literally everyone on earth knows we are, and are completely discrediting themselves with such stupid, obvious lies? We on the far-left expose them because we’re anti-war.” You see, THAT gets to the bottom of it.
“the second-highest-ranking Democrat in the House, declared that “we’re at war.”
You see why you look so, so stupid if you “Pretend we aren’t”? And so, so stupid if as a journalist you report this as a possibility, an option we still have? Again, they think lies = Reality. Say it: it becomes real. “Name it and Claim it” the Olsteen church says. God is your Sugar Daddy. He obeys on command.
“Azov Battalion Drops Neo-Nazi Symbol Exploited by Russian Propagandists (UK Times)”
As above, the Anglos don’t care about reality. If they are ACTUAL Nazis, or ACTUALLY winning. Only about “Signaling”, Propaganda. Belief. They’re a religion. P.S., it’s not “Neo-Nazi” it’s literal, original Nazi, because the Avozs are not “Propaganda” Nazis but literal, actual Nazis. And the UK Times are literal, actual Liars.
“Putin Ready to Facilitate Export of Grains from Ukraine (AlJ)”
All the have to do is pay. But they won’t. They will kill 100M, including every poor Briton first. The Economist promised.
““GasTerra has repeatedly urged Gazprom to respect the contractually agreed payment structure”
Contractually agreed? Keeping your word? After 30 years? After stealing $300 Billion dollars? Hahahahaha!
Moving on to the rest of the world:
“How to Cut Crime in the Murder-Capital of America” Jackson, MS.Reverse everything you did to get here. Oh wait: anything but that. I want drugs, immorality, and selfishness, total lack of family, abandon all lessons of history and no reversion to self-defense AND low murders. We’ll hire police! Who are ALSO immoral, corrupt, and won’t do anything. Sorry: doesn’t work that way.
Did you see the jaw-dropping article by of all people Naomi Wolf? https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/dear-friends-sorry-to-announce-a?s=r Yeah, now that she can see raw evil, coming, on purpose, she turns to God. Capital “G”. THAT is when these things start to be taken seriously. THAT is when it can change. Hey, maybe it’s not God. I think it is, but why not? IT DOESN’T MATTER. This is what history says you have to do to right the ship. By righting the only thing you have power over: YOURSELF.
“Greece Alerts Its Tankers in Gulf after Iran Threatens More ‘Retaliation’ Seizures”
The rest of the world alerts their tankers every day since the Americans exist and are now thieving pirates. “From the Halls of Montezuma/to the Shores of Tripoli…”
Why? They’re broke. Powell’s rates are now tightening dollars worldwide. The world reserve currency. You see why we shouldn’t have one of these? If you have a world system, it needs to be neutral and objective, otherwise actions to take for your domestic economy conflict with actions needed for the world’s economy. Banks in China have frozen, we’ll see what happens with that. House mortgage originations plummeted day 1, which will take out home values. Credit cards are falling fast. If more money isn’t being borrowed, that’s deflation or at a minimum, dis-inflation. Prices will lag money supply, but it does.
Global Financial Crisis 2.0. Surprised it took this long but they know what they’re doing: these things always happen in the Fall.
What month did the ’08 Crisis start? “Subprime is contained” “The Greenspan Put”?
“Subprime is contained” January, 2008.

September 15, 2008: After the Federal Reserve declined to guarantee its loans as it did for Bear Stearns, the Bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers led to a 504-point drop in the DJIA, its worst decline in seven years. To avoid bankruptcy, Merrill Lynch was acquired by Bank of America for $50 billion in a transaction facilitated by the government.[120] Lehman had been in talks to be sold to either Bank of America or Barclays but neither bank wanted to acquire the entire company.[121]

Bernanke requested a $700 billion fund to acquire toxic mortgages and reportedly told them: “If we don’t do this, we may not have an economy on Monday.”…Quoting “We were hours away from the collapse of the financial system” said a Congressman on TV.
“September 29, 2008: By a vote of 225–208, with most Democrats in support and Republicans against, the House of Representatives rejected the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, which included the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program. In response, the DJIA dropped 777.68 points, or 7%, its largest point drop in history. The S&P 500 Index fell 8.8% and the Nasdaq Composite fell 9.1%.

The New Deal ended the Depression, but for some reason not until 1945 when we had nuked the whole rest of the planet’s industrial base. Oh well!
March 6, 2009: The Dow Jones hit its lowest level of 6,443.27, a drop of 54% from its peak of 14,164 on October 9, 2007, over a span of 17 months, before beginning to recover.
May 20, 2009: President Obama signed the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009.
…Immediately, no one was arrested. And no one has been since. Banks got the biggest bonuses in world history following the taxpayer bailout. Assets were transferred from the people to the insider corporations. Record black homes were foreclosed.
May 2010: The U.S. Senate passed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
Aaaaaand was immediately ignored. Nothing changed and no one was arrested.
This was all so successful that:
November 3, 2010: To improve economic growth, the Federal Reserve announced another round of quantitative easing, dubbed QE2, which included the purchase of $600 billion in long-term Treasuries over the following eight months.See? $700B here, $600B there, pretty soon you’re in Powell territory.
May 2012: The Manhattan District Attorney indicted Abacus Federal Savings Bank and 19 employees for selling fraudulent mortgages to Fannie Mae. The bank was exonerated in 2015. Abacus was the only bank prosecuted for misbehavior that precipitated the crisis.

August 2012: In the United States, many homeowners still faced foreclosure and could not refinance or modify their mortgages. Foreclosure rates remained high.Note, we are now FOUR YEARS after the crisis. Everything they’ve done is still failing. …Or working, all those foreclosures transfer wealth FROM the people TO the insider corporations.
September 13, 2012: To improve lower interest rates, support mortgage markets, and make financial conditions more accommodative, the Federal Reserve announced another round of quantitative easing, dubbed QE3, which included the purchase of $40 billion in long-term Treasuries each month.
That’s now a long-term, un-ending bailout of the exclusively wealthy at $480B/year PLUS the base bailouts of $600B/year.
And here we are today. Tens of Trillions every year, transferred the the rich forever.
What’s the point of posting photos of empty grocery shelves? 20% of the population know – or suspect – we are in a slow moving economic collapse. The other 80% don’t want to know. So why try to change the minds of people who wallow in their ignorance? They don’t deserve your help. Why try to help people who have shown by their past behavior that they will not change their minds no matter what? I ask once again: what’s the point of posting photos of empty shelves?
Based on the replies coming from Finland, it appears it’s fake news! Yes the other side lies all the time. We do have truth on our side. That doesn’t mean our people will tell the truth all the time. Human being lie and manipulate. it’d be neat to belong to a club – 20% of the population! – in which everyone is a noble soul who never lies or exaggerates. Fact is(including those at this site) 99.9% of these people are total strangers.
I work in a grocery store. Except for that toilet paper nonsense 2 years ago, we have not had empty shelves. Yes there’s products we can’t get at times. Whiskas cat food was unavailable for 6 months last year. My favourite porridge has been unavailable for a couple of months now. Those are empty spots, not empty shelves.
I’m not saying this isn’t happening elsewhere. I have no first hand knowledge that it’s happening. I must go by that or what trusted friends tell me. I’m not sure how many of those I have left. if I did the math I suspect over 80% of my friends got vaxxed. A number of them still choose to wear masks. Trust is breaking down fast. That doesn’t mean I’m going to blindly accept what total strangers say, even when what they say fits my future expectation. Makes more sense to believe my own government(which can make me an offer I can’t refuse) than some guy supposedly in a store in Finland.
Yet the toilet paper thing is revealing. It displays how quickly store shelves can empty. I assume 20% of us are aware of this. The other 80% will find out the hard way.
@ Dr. D
It can’t be GFC 2.0 because 1.0 never ended and started causing trouble again in Aug – Sept of 2019. Perhaps 1.0 never existed because it was just a continuation of the dotcom bust?
Dr D, not too long. I treated it like a glass of Shiraz and took my time and savoured the complex overtones.
Between now and the end of this year a whole lot of reality (EROEI) is going to wash over many aspects of peoples lives.

I guess on a practical level I should mention my prepping is centred around firewood and infrastructure (think moving water around and building). Wood stove = heat, hot water, food, ash, fertilizer, bottling, drying, charcoal, etc. Fun
I’m glad Nicole and Raul’s work on trust horizon is getting attention – it always struck me as really important and came as no surprise to find Holmgren’s writing on walkable streets is themed similarly.

Agreed, not too long… and nice timeline on the never actually resolved financial crisis. I’ve read we’re just now seeing the impact of Covid stuff… the war spending, embargoes, etc hasn’t flowed downstream. Yet.
Bill Blain, ha! He has his moral NIMBY outrage when someone tries to smear cream on his “Norman Rockwell, quaint village”… waiting for him to short wheat futures and lead a demining flotilla in the Black Sea.

When we bought our house in Illinois, we planted a lilac bush in the past owner’s dog’s favorite spot to pee. It grew from one foot to ten feet in three years.

I’ve decided to put a positive spin on everything, so instead of calling the coming global food situation famine or starvation from now on I’m not going to call it Culturally Mandated Fasting.
@Dr D: yes painful, yet essential timeline. Thanks for the detailed look back. Since nothing was fixed and the looters not held accountable, it was set up to be continued. All the same players raping the other classes at a pace and to a degree rarely if at all comprehended/understood by the victims. The current level of USA Inc. desperation (failure), seen across all issues – is ramping up. Nothing can/will stop or hide the greatest transfer of wealth ever seen from imploding! A sad warning Hobbes.
I did see the jaw-dropping article by of all people Naomi Wolf. The conclusions are mind-blowing, and there are more to come. Let the internal revolution and subsequent dedication to life/TRUTH reign in the Hearts of All.
Worth repeating:
“Yeah, now that she can see raw evil, coming, on purpose, she turns to God. Capital “G”. THAT is when these things start to be taken seriously. THAT is when it can change. Hey, maybe it’s not God. I think it is, but why not? IT DOESN’T MATTER. This is what history says you have to do to right the ship. By righting the only thing you have power over: YOURSELF.”I give blood every 8 weeks. The service provider recently re-started antibody testing. Finally got my antibody test result: REACTIVE. Meaning I have antibodies but apparently not in a significant quantity for my plasma to be used as COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma. They used the Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG Quantitative Reagent Pack test. NOTE: I had covid in August of 2021 (Delta was the dominant variant at the time).
@phoenix: your comments in recent days are inspiring. Integrity. You are a courageous Soul.
LOVE to All.
Was gonna post this yesterday (Memorial Day) but after reading the Naomi Wolf piece, I was done….
VP (from yesterday):
“What’s different?
Go ask the Jan. 6 protesters, or the Canuck truckers…”
No, that’s not what I’m talking about at all, they’ll barely make a footnote in a future history book. I’m talking about a
- real
protest.
Imagine those truckers couldn’t pay their mortgages, couldn’t afford diesel for their trucks and couldn’t feed themselves or their kids. Imagine that they blamed their plight fully on government policies. Do you think they’d have sat around singing the kumbaya till the police towed them away?
How a couple of million hangry protesters descending on the capitol and being let into the corridors of power by equally hangry police officers, do you think they would then just walk carefully between the ropes and take selfies from Nancy’s office?
That’s what I mean.
30 May. Russian TV (mainstream) states the Special Operation (Ukr.) is now over, so, maybe it is all of NATO that has to be de-militarized. chooch posted on this in the previous thread, with more detail.) a reminder:

Dr. D’s posts are great but I did not read the last 2, heh, I guess I need a concentration booster…
I performed last night at a local open mic with a musician friend, age 79. In conversation he disclosed that he and his wife (double-boosted, Pfizer,) had come down with Covid around a month ago, but it was no big deal, no fever, they isolated/masked per the current guidelines. He was confident that the mildness was due to his vaccines…I pointed out the many that I knew (myself, others in my household) who had it worse, suggested he and his wife might have cross-immunity, and that most likely it was the mild omicron that had infected them. He also mentioned that a son of a friend, age 40, had “died suddenly” — I pointed out that the latter half of last year there was a 40% increase in deaths among people aged 25-40, and it wasn’t Covid. He blamed it on stress. Since when do people’s hearts routinely stop because of stress? I asked if he was aware that Biden had warned the nation about impending food shortages? No, he was not aware. But he blamed Russia. He brought up how appalled he was with Putin and how wrong it was for Russia to have invaded Ukraine. I asked if he was aware that the ethnic Russians in the Donbas region had been oppressed and then shelled by the Ukrainian military for 8 years, 14,000 dead, and that while Russia was building up troops along the border of Ukraine, that Ukraine was building up troops on the edge of the Donbas region, apparently planning to obliterate the people there? This was news to him.
Bringing up these things seems pointless. At the end of the evening he remarked that he just wanted to spend the rest of his days making music. (Fair enough!). I wonder why I bother. And yet…I listened to day 7 of the People’s Grand Jury in the past week, to Matthias Desmet. He assures us that although we aren’t going to easily convince our hypnotized peers that they are misguided, that assertions contrary to the hypnotizing narrative are what will eventually tear the narrative to shreds. I hope that he is correct. I hope that by bringing up these things that I am helping to destroy this dangerous narrative.
My second song was What’s Up by Linda Perry of 4 Non Blondes. Eight times the song asks: What’s going on?
(Wanna watch? Go here: https://www.facebook.com/azlivemusiccoop/videos/az-live-music-cooperative-open-mic/603435097370670 most recent video at approximately time stamp 3:11:00 — yeah, over 3 hours in.)
Afterwards, several folks came up to talk to me — it seems my plea of “what’s going on?” touched some deep places, with an elderly guy in a wheelchair telling me about his Pennsylvania Dutch friend in elementary school telling him a German phrase that translates to “what the devil is going on?”James Corbett had an hour-long interview with Mattias Desmet the other day:
Jim Jones was Mass Formation Psychosis writ large but applied to a small group.
Now Mass Formation Psychosis is writ invisible but applied to vast swaths of the so called, ‘intellectually enlightened’ Western World.
No signs of wide spread recognition of the phenomenon among the Sheeple, they’re lapping it up like gravy on the biscuit.
phoenixvoice,
Nice to see you. Your strength reminds me of my grandmother and I hope you live a full life has long has she did.
Can’t stop itching.
A new global Monkeypox tracker shows that there are currently 590 suspected and confirmed cases of Monkeypox worldwide in the latest outbreak. The highly contagious disease has already spread to every continent except Antarctica.
The global dashboard can be accessed at https://monkeypox.healthmap.org/
Since stress affects the immune system, many researchers believe that stress could be a trigger for shingles. Researchers in multiple studies have linked chronic, daily stress, and highly stressful life events as risk factors for shingles.
Deja vu, we just need more testing.
80% of the current crop of “citizens” in North America are so brain-washed & acclimated to the status quo, ie “The System”, that they will blindly follow the mind-fuckery of “The Anointed” right into cages & death…
Hell, approximately 40% are hardcore CULTists that support every diktat of the Party of Chaos carnival barkers, no matter how Machiavellian or culturally insane 😕
The other 40% are full of false pride & fantastical self-image, seeking celebrity and/or other egocentric leaders of their CULT, whose only actions of derring-do involve lying, cheating, stealing & occasional mayhem…
The last 20% or so have at least partial spiritual awareness, with a few seeking to restore the social contract (ie The Infinite’s rule of Natural Law), but all of the judicious minded are TRAPPED in a fascist nightmare, which has grown beyond quashing due to CULTural Mass Psychosis, which is reinforced & expanded daily by broadcast of totalitarian mind-fuckery from “The Owners”, that seek to control “We the People” on the level of farm animals and/or slaves to protect “The System”.
You see “The System” is a death cult that was setup, strengthened & exploited over the last 70+ years to rape, pillage & plunder “enemies” of “democracy”, a fascist maelstrom birthed from the ashes of the Great Depression + WWII, empowered by usurpation/cancellation of the Natural Law Democratic Republic created by the sacrifices of “The Sons of Liberty”, the existence of which today nothing more than a elementary skool myth…
But again, I repeat myself 🙄
There are no saviors coming, no heroes of the “innocent”, at least in any numbers that count, all that is coming is “The Reckoning”, which is already underway due to the CULTists belief they can restore the former “glory” of The System (ie “Change You Can Believe In”, “Make America Great Again”, “Build Back Better”), by starting another World War.
Because the last one was such a glowing success & so much fun for all! 👿
So, in fact, the maltreatment/incarnation Jan. 6 protesters + the repulsion of the Cunuck Trucker Strike IS Prima Facie evidence that the masses will go along quietly to any diktat, the silent majority have spoken!
Have you NOT noticed “We the People” granting nascent approval to “The System”, even in the face of DAILY infanticide, democide & blatant kleptocracy?
Sorry, but these are NOT the “protesters” you’re looking for, it is a despondent fiction created within your mind…
In a couple of days I will be able to say I “have” monkeypox, too! It will actually be poison ivy (from mushrooming), and I kinda like a small bit of it at the end of the season- out of nostalgia, I think.

———@Phoenixvoice: You have good pipes and good vocal chords, especially when they loosened up a bit. Loud and Clear, sister! i have been appreciating your thoughtful analysis. I’m sure I never spent an hour accidentally wiping any device. My defense mechanism is to always know that everything I say on any electronic format is monitored by NSA AI. (I always felt in my heart that my every thought and scheme was perceived by God, so this is actually a much lower bar.)

Vietnam veteran, author, and investor Bob Moriarty discusses the war in Ukraine, how the U.S. has been supporting Nazis since WWII, and that Russia is acting in self-defense. Zelensky is being run by the U.S. and Ukraine will end up being split into three pieces. Everything we’re seeing in regards to the collapsing economy and food and energy shortages is a result of The Great Reset. Bob believes Putin is not going along with the Davos project and that we’re witnessing the ultimate battle between good and evil. America is at the end of empire and we’re experiencing a worldwide revolution as the economy deteriorates which will last for years.

@Veracious Poet
Your calculus is probably the greater likelihood.
Marci Wheeler has a diametrically opposed view to the Sussman acquittal over at her monumental Tower of Babel, er ah, I meant her celebrated blog The Emptywheel.
These days I’m certain we reside in completely different Universes. The dissonance and discord are breathtaking to behold.
