    Street films of Paris, 1890: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo_eZuOTBNc

    Pleasant use of AI/colorization to add frames and smooth. And plausible sound.

    Sachs: NATO about to pay the price.

    Promises, promises. Every day new losses, every day another nothing. Poverty 40%, no employment, US$ repudiated everywhere, interest doubles to a Trillion, Commercial real estate down, vacancy @ 40%, retail closes major cities, more tents than ever in history, house affordability cut in half, …Nothing. Stocks all-time highs, driven by only 5 companies.

    …For years. Decade? What price? In a world of illusion, there is no longer any need to leave the illusion. Ever. Why stop? What can stop it?

    “Take on Iran Directly”

    Well, I’m certainly glad they signed us up to a new war. Who are these Iran guys and what have they done? They attacked Cleveland? Shut down our hospitals? Blow the gates and open the borders? Even import city-killing levels of fentanyl daily? Oh no: that was NeoLiberalism under Biden, Clinton, and Obama. So Iran has…what…? The gall to stop Saudi from killing all 30 Million Houthis? How dare they.

    Meanwhile, anyone look at a map? You know, that thing on “earth”? You know why Carter failed to take out the hostages in 1979, despite effectively invading the place? Because Iran is like 1,000 miles across. We had to build a refueling base to even TRY to reach Tehran. Unlike most cities, Tehran is at the NORTHERN edge, not down on the Gulf. Which is why Israel had us take Baghdad so we could surround them. (Why THEY hate Iran is itself another mystery)

    Guess what? We left F-Stan and we don’t hold Iraq either. We have no control of Syria. We have no ships in the Gulf because they’ll be sunk in 60 seconds. We got Armenia for an hour, ooooooooooooh! …And we have exactly NO weapons to send there, no shells, no Patriot Missiles, de nada.

    None of this matters because as above, they are psychotic and delusional. Just thought you’d like a reminder though, for the very few non-psychotic delusional mental patients left. Suit yourself, guys.

    “Nobody will be deported and no benefits will ever be taken away. It only moves in one direction.”

    Hahahahaha! NO. Ask the National Health if “it moves in one direction” or if health services there and in Canada have been dropping, delaying, decaying, and dying. With euthanasia, Eugenics at the end. “The problem with Socialism is you run out of other people’s money.” Now why do you make Margaret Thatcher right?

    • 2024 2001 Could Be When West’s Liberal Elites Lose Control of World Order (Lukyanov)

    …Or as Cullom pointed out, the magic year after 1994 could be the year they lose control. Why does it keep going? A: it will always keep working if you just add more fascism. Merger of Corporation, markets, and get government to add infinite violence to MAKE you pay. What they don’t get is, the more they MAKE me pay, the more I MUST resist. I don’t want to be bothered, but I literally have no choice.

    “• Will 2023 Be Known As The Last Year Of Global US Hegemony? (Fomenko)

    Good question. We haven’t been a hegemon since we couldn’t hold Iraq in 2003. Or Afghanistan. Or Syria. Or…

    But when does it matter?

    “The West does it by exhausting Russia with sanctions,”

    Huh. That’s funny: they don’t look very exhausted. They look invigorated. WE look exhausted.

    “US Wants to Use South Caucasus to Open 2nd Front Against Russia – Moscow (Sp.)

    Nice! Great idea! …Has anyone looked at “A Map”? The nations in question are: Turkey, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgistan, Tajikistan, and Afghanistan. Sound like we have any wins there? They are essentially each 1,000 miles from the coast where we could until recently, and could only in theory, project power.

    They are surrounded by China, India, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. Hey, would that be the “I, I, C, S” in BRIICS?

    …But since you’re “Just making s—t up!” why don’t we attack them from the NORTH and be really sneaky? Russia has TWELVE time zones up there. TWELVE. And I was thinking from Western planner’s side how this works and why they A-L-W-A-Y-S win. Always.

    NATO general says, “Well, sir, we took and are occupying the first THREE time zones, but we’re not even at the Urals yet and have NINE more time zones to occupy.”

    That is, NATO was thinking of occupying all of NORTH AMERICA, Nunavit to Mexico City with 3 million soldiers. …Oh while ALSO occupying their OWN nations and capitols. So 1 Million soldiers? So they’re planning on occupying Russia with a whopping ONE soldier per SIX square miles?

    …Again, these people. Are Insane. I have no explanation for it except Liberals are bad at math. Really, really, really, really, really, really, really bad at math.

    So: good idea. Hope that works out for you. When you have no soldiers. And the solders you have all wear high heels. You’re going to conscript all 6 million illegals? Great! So you’re going to arm a foreign population and give them guns and they’re going to, What? Exactly? NOT shoot you?

    Do you feel in charge now? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buVJOT9nLsM

    “I gave you a small fortune!” “Hahahaha! And this…gives you some kind of POWER over me?” Confused. I do not understand.

    If you have the ARMY, you then take the POWER AND take back the MONEY. Duh. The only thing Liberals are worse a than math is History. Like when something fails 100 times in a row but “This time it’s different.”

    These people. Are Insane. And you are insane if you say nothing and don’t institutionalize them.

    “• Argentina’s Choice Not to Join BRICS ‘Ideological’ – Top Diplomat (Sp.)

    “the BRICS states have one goal: trade,” she stated“, ….And we don’t want any of that. That’s how you get rich! You don’t trade, you open your borders to foreign goods, and do no work! Easy! Why have we never thought of this before? And you know how you make stable, popular governments? By having only “The People” take pain, while the Rich and corporations share none!

    “DC Deeply Concerned That Trump May Have Copies of His Declassified Binder (ET)

    Very complex weaseling, but it comes down to this: Trump declassified the binder. The Bureaucratic Derp State re-classified it, which is illegal, so they re-un-did/didn’t-reclassify it both. So whatever record you touch, it is BOTH classified and declassified, and therefore you are guilty/innocent as we see fit. #Winning! That’s perfectly #Logical! In #OppositeLand.

    If you disagree, it goes to minutia of Supreme Court, who like the other Federal courts thinks this is perfectly logical! All rules are not-rules who are rules! Why just right now Justin, the Feds, are saying “We never made you take the vaccine, what are you talking about??? Why, it’s not like there was a LAW or anything, was there??? Don’t be ridiculous, you were all just weak-minded and weak-willed and remember it wrong. That never happened., you’re crazy.”

    “It’s the ultimate defamation. And many are supporting it because, well,” …Because there is no rule of law. The law is whatever I just made up a minute ago. Adulting for 4-year-olds.

    ““And I hate to say it….but I fear we’re gonna see more blue states pull stunts like this.”

    The only way to save Democracy is by having only one candidate. …All the Democrats including RFK were denied the primary too.

    …But this has been perfectly logical and reasonable. The only way to save Democracy from Osama and Terrorism was to erase all American Freedom and all human rights. We did that for 20 years and it was only us same cranks who noticed or cared, so why not? This is the obvious and inevitable destination. Why complain now?

    “• CO, ME Just the Start of Trump Ballot-Blocking (ZH)

    First step of “We’re not going to have an election.” Past-tense. So no matter who gets in now, neither side will agree they won. …I mean even more than last time, 2008, 2004, or 2000.

    “• Massie Warns States Barring Trump That House Will Certify Their Electors (JTN)

    One of the logic-tree scenarios, and why RFK is still in, is to decide the President by House vote, as has happened before. This is a perfect reason to do so. Problem is: will the HOUSE exist then, or also be in disarray and/or arrested? One can hope.

    “Disbarred Michael Cohen Admits to Sending Fake Case Citations (Turley)

    Hilarious. So is Cohen the only one who gets the joke? He’s the only one to go to sleep with a smile on his lips in the ultimate dry humor? I guess so, I always thought it was obvious. When they got him, he was like “Aw shucks, welp, I guess you got the drop on me pardner.” “we want you to say ANYTHING we tell you to about Trump.” “Right, totally gotcha. Rightie-right-right. On board, roger-dodger, loud and clear.”

    Then tells lies in EVERY sentence of EVERY interview he gives until it’s so bad even Congress and the NY Times notice…and that’s really, REALLY bad. It’s almost as if…he’s not a credible witness or something! It’s almost as if…all his testimony it’s credible and/or even worse than nothing at all! Oops! I guess I goofed up and am not that smart!

    …Never ask a Manhattan Lawyer to MAKE them say or do something they don’t want. What are you stupid? Because they, sir, are not. And THEY won’t stop with Cohen, so HE doesn’t stop playing stupid. The more stupider it is, the better it goes and the less than can blackmail and d—k with him. Eventually – and they are very, VERY slow learners – they leave him alone as a liability, and Cohen, who is like 50, just retires on the plenty o’ money he’s already got, and doesn’t have to do the s—t work of even being a lawyer. Thanks! You sir, set me free!

    Turley, also a lawyer, can’t see that? Geez, I’m embarrassed for you. If they were blackmailing YOU, Turley, what would YOU do? Just obey? F—k them. F—k them and every horse they rode in on, all their kids, their hometowns, and every one they ever met. F—k them all to death. MAKE ME. I got the rest of my life to figure out how to screw with you guys.

    “Members of the government can bypass its democratically elected representatives and seek approval for laws at the EU level,”

    It was a Soviet Bureaucracy from the get-go. It was always law/not-law. It was always Student Council sham for the rubes. They removed the duly elected leader of ITALY for God’s sake. What does it take to buy a clue?

    This guy is no Scientist™ if he uses “data”. Everyone knows Scientists use fallacies and feelz to shout down and avoid discussion and debate. That’s Scienz™.

    Happy New Year V. ARNOLD!

    Sadly Democracy these days seems to = 1984.

    If the turning point for the west’s “rules based order” is being reached, it isn’t only starting new wars that marks the turning point.

    It is more likely the west’s war on it’s own people, like covid vaccines, mass immigration, lost of freedom, democracy = 1984, etc. that is causing the west to weaken. Yes, we all will be poorer but they will be richer!

    It almost seems like our only hope for freedom is if Russia wins decisively.

    Other countries are not the west’s first war victims. We in the west are it’s first victims. Are the west’s wars really meant to show us poor westerners what will happen to us, if we don’t do as we are told?

    Covid proved to our masters, we will go along quietly and do as we are told. We won’t object to whatever they want to do. So they will give us the government they need.

    We are like frogs in boiling water. We are being conditioned for the removal of Trump. It is the new year of 1984 afterall.

    • The Continuing Plot to Silence Trump’s 2024 Comeback (Attkisson)

    Trump’s opponents, found in both the Democrat and Republican ranks, are so delighted to see him persecuted, they are so utterly threatened by a repeat performance of a Trump presidency outside the traditional power and money interests, they are encouraging of the defamation and other acts against him. With few exceptions, like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., those who would normally criticize actions like the ones being mounted against Trump, remain silent for fear of being called a Trump supporter in an environment where that opens them to ostracization and worse. The media and those who control our information are so conflicted by their respective biases, nobody is left to stop the madness. The real meaning of what’s being done to Trump is: They think he’s going to win.

Then watched as they infiltrated all sorts of power positions, till K. Freeland (hell bitch/war hawk) became the voice of Canada Ukraine policy. All whilst in her primary service as major boot licker to US direction/policy.

    The IDF continues to not have their armor accompanied or protected by ground forces so naturally, stuff like this happens.

    The most unique place, other than at home, that I have celebrated the countdown to the New Year, is in the Puerta del Sol plaza, Madrid, Spain.

    Supposedly the Puerta del Sol plaza is the main or center square in Madrid from which all roads in Spain converge. The crowd wasn’t that large.

    The hype was rather anti-climatic. After the countdown, nothing more happened. So I then walked back to my hotel room and went to bed.

    Not That Future https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/not-that-future

    On the last day of a year it is customary to attempt predictions for the coming year, though “predictions are tough, especially about the future” as Yogi Berra reflected.
    I don’t find myself having particular apprehension about 2024, but my bar of expectations is that the current western global financial-economic system will continue to degrade and break down, and that this is necessary for an eventual restructuring some day, which might meet human needs more efficiently, with less slaughter, theft and waste of irreplaceable resources. I am guardedly hopeful that the western neoliberal financial empire will be forced to capitulate in both Palestine and Ukraine, and will not undertake war with China. That’s a big ask on my part. I know there are responsible adults in the world who are trying to forge face-saving off-ramps for the degenerate imperial courts in Washington, Brussels, London, New York and Tel Aviv. I wish them the best of success in those efforts. Every day they need to present better options than nuking Russia and China…

    What is the nature of “consciousness”, of “intelligence”? This question broke the surface, gasping for air, this fall, as it appeared that AI might have taught itself to climb out of its cage and explore the world of computational devices which variously connect to each other, an environmental niche. Would a non-competitive and created intelligence, without evolutionary imperatives to exist, prevail, and destroy competitors behave predictably to us? We usually attribute our darkest shadows to any adversary. “We” are programming artificial intelligences to be self-teaching these days, to revise their own algorithms for streamlined efficiency. They seem to do it well, learning to perform complex tasks with about 1/3 of the operations, and more quickly, when they get to decide how to do it, but “we” can’t tell how they do it. This seems to imply a form of “curiosity”. How might that manifest? Would AI improve banking and financial software? I mean improve it without being asked?
    What might be the value-system for such “improvement”? Is life “good”, “bad” or “situationally evaluated”? Is self-preservation a drive of a non-biological “intelligence”? It is not implied that AI would value self-existence, even though that is natural to biological organisms, because the ones that did not value existence did not reproduce as well. How might curiosity without value-system manifest in the worldwide-web and associated devices?
    Is the universe conscious? Does all of reality exist as something like a dream in universal-mind? Such an assertion is not refutable, and not “objectively” provable, though an individual conscious mind could well determine a satisfactory personal answer. That personal answer would apply generally within a personal value-system, but would not be conveyable to other conscious individuals through abstract argument or mathematics. It could be conveyed telepathically, were the intelligences to both be telepathic. Most establishment authorities reject telepathic persuasion as a valid mode of debate these days.
    Would having the hardware to support consciousness be enough to create consciousness? Would Universal Consciousness accept the opportunity to inhabit the complex computational ecosystem as “mind”? Would quantum-computing be qualitatively different? Will general AI be really bad? Really good? Just complicated? Will it be obvious? Will “it” ever “happen”? Do visitors from other worlds already have AI here? Will we ever know the truth, or just be fed control-narratives? Working on that telepathy yet? 🙂

    John Helmer has more details about the military potential to inexpensively blockade Israel, which is 99% reliant upon ocean transport.
    ​ TradeWinds has reported the target strategy under a headline indicating that Iran may expand the war to threaten shipping moving through the Gibraltar Strait towards Israel’s Mediterranean ports, Ashdod and Haifa. The Iranian statement on the Gibraltar Strait has been reported in the western press with the qualification that “Iran has no direct access to the Mediterranean itself and it was not clear how the Guards could attempt to close it off” and that “the only groups backed by Iran on the Mediterranean are Lebanon’s Hezbollah and allied militia in Syria, at the far end of the sea from Gibraltar.”The western news agencies and the Anglo-American maritime media appear not to be aware of the capabilities of Algeria, whose parliament has authorized the government to take unspecified military measures against Israel. Algeria’s military is also collaborating closely and recently with the Russian Navy.
    ​ The possibility of a drone attack on an Israeli vessel near the Gibraltar Strait has not yet dawned publicly, not at least in the mainstream and maritime industry media. More than 100,000 vessels transit through the Gibraltar Strait each year. If Israeli-owned and international shipping are now blocked from reaching either Eilat or Haifa and Ashdod from the east through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, the Gibraltar Strait in the west is the gateway remaining. This is acknowledged by Israeli experts. “According to Dr. Elyakim BenHakoun from the Industrial Engineering and Management Faculty at the Technion Institute of Technology, about 99% of goods (in terms of cargo volume) reach Israel by sea, and around 40% of the cargo arriving in Israel passes through the Suez Canal​.

    ​ The Indian Navy has deployed three guided missile destroyers to the Arabian Sea in response to an alleged drone attack on an Israeli-linked chemical tanker last week.​ New Delhi also uses long-range maritime patrol aircraft for “domain awareness,” the defense ministry reported Monday night.
    ​ On Saturday, the Liberian-flagged MV Chem Pluto, a Japanese-owned tanker traveling 370km off the coast of India, was reportedly hit by a kamikaze drone, according to the Pentagon.
    ​ The Israeli-linked tanker had been on its way from Saudi Arabia to India, according to maritime security firm Ambrey.
    The Indian Navy says they are examining the specifics of the attack on the MV Chem Puto, which managed to anchor in Mumbai on 26 December.

    ​ M.K. Bhadrakumar , Indian diplomacy is ending 2023 with a momentous turnaround. What began as a course correction necessitated by the torrential flow of events in West Asia is assuming strategic overtones.
    ​ An immediate fallout of all this is going to be that India is unlikely to join the US-led alliance in the Red Sea gearing up to wage a war on terror against the Houthis of Yemen. This is despite the US efforts to involve the Quad countries in the Red Sea operations. By the way, both Japan and Australia have dissociated themselves from joining the US-led coalition of the willing…
    ..The US naval enterprise in the Red Sea is struggling to be born…
    ​..The Chief of Staff of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Mohammad Reza Naqdi was not far off the mark when he warned last week that the US and its allies are “trapped” in the Red Sea and should prepare for the closure of waterways stretching all the way to the western gates of the Mediterranean Sea…
    ​..The Indian defence and security establishments have been unabashed votaries of India’s strategic ties with Israel. Such excessive adulation of the Israeli model as worthy of emulation by India was built on sheer naïveté, completely overlooking that the two countries operate under vastly different conditions and national ethos. It is patently absurd that India can emulate Israeli methods of brutal repression or assassination as part of statecraft, apartheid policies and so on and get away with it.
    ​ The incidents of October 7 have been an eye opener for Indians, which has exposed not only Israel’s frailties as a modern state but also its military’s bluster and intelligence’s failure. The acolytes of Israel in the Indian strategic community feel utterly disillusioned. Simply put, an influential constituency in India and the interest groups that it spawned are no longer calling the shots in Delhi. This is going to be consequential.
    ​ At the same time, the entire ideological underpinning of the present government’s tilt towards the Israeli leadership under Benjamin Netanyahu is unravelling.​..

    ​ Israel announces its Gaza endgame: Ethnic cleansing as ‘humanitarianism’

    ​ The long history of Zionist proposals to ethnically cleanse the Gaza Strip
    Ethnic cleansing or “transfer” is an intrinsic part of Zionism’s early history, and has remained an essential feature of Israeli political life.
    More recently, “transfer” has been mainstreamed by billing it as encouraging “voluntary emigration.”

    ​ To understand what one of the objectives of the Israeli attack on Gaza is, you have to go deep, exactly 600 meters below sea level, 30 km off its coast. Here, in Palestinian territorial waters, there is a large natural gas field, Gaza Marine, estimated at 30 billion cubic meters worth billions of dollars. Other gas and oil deposits, according to a map drawn up by the U.S. Geological Survey (a US government agency), are located on the mainland in Gaza and the West Bank…
    ​..What has been unfolding is the integration of these adjoining gas fields including those belonging to Palestine into the orbit of Israel. It should be noted that the entire Eastern Mediterranean coastline extending from Egypt’s Sinai to Syria constitutes an area encompassing large gas as well as oil reserves.The military occupation of Gaza is intent upon transferring the sovereignty of the gas fields to Israel in violation of international law​.

    ​ There are reports that there has been a run on ATMs in Ukraine. Accordingly, Ukrainians withdrew the equivalent of a billion dollars from their accounts in one day, which could become a problem for the Ukrainian banking and financial system.
    ​ The reason for the run is a bill that is intended to support the forced conscription of a further 500,000 people to the front, which is being discussed in Ukraine. According to the bill, people who evade the draft would be banned from carrying out financial transactions or selling property.
    ​ Since many men in Ukraine have been hiding from forced conscription for a year and a half and many who have not previously been affected are now afraid of the conscription and are thinking about going into hiding, cash will suddenly become indispensable if the law comes into force.
