“And Trump has asked RFK to do three simple things.

The pupilomotor fibers (constrictor) become supersensitive to even a very low concentration cholinergic, parasympathomimetic, Ach agonist, Pilocarpine, in Adie’s Tonic pupil. 1/8th percent is enough to stimulate the pupilomotor fibers.
Think unopposed acetylcholine (Ach) in the neural junction.
Most nerve agents (warfare) inhibit and or bind acetylcholinesterase which leaves the Ach in the neural junction doing its thing.
On the other hand, Atropine, scopolamine, cyclopentolate work as antagonists. (synonymous with anticholinergic, parasympatholytic)

I will attend a 6 day silent-meditation retreat starting tomorrow, 11/19/24 at midday, so I will probably not post to the blog for the rest of this week.
The retreat concludes Sunday 11/24/24, but I will certainly be behind on news at that point. If we enter nuclear war I might be oblivious to that development.It might seem odd to open with another assessment of peak-energy-resources when there is another, potentially nuclear, escalation in the US/NATO proxy-war against Russia, in Ukraine, but it is an important inflexion point in global economy, therefore global finance, and therefore global-war-emergencies to keep established elites in power through a vast financial reset. Many of us believe that it is the time to change the staffing at the imperial court, and to relinquish imperialism altogether…
Our global economy is primarily powered by middle-distillates of Diesel fuel and bunker fuel (for shipping), which are about 35% of what comes out of a barrel of oil when it is fractionated. There is also asphalt for roads, gasoline for cars and kerosine for jet fuel, but Diesel and bunker fuel are critical, especially diesel for all heavy machinery, big trucks and trains. This is what critically supports modern industrial economy. There is no substitute. There can be no real substitutes overall. More energy intensive processes can “crack” Diesel out of heavy tar sands from Canada, and Venezuelan heavy crude, but these are already extremely energy intensive to produce, with EROI of 3:1 or so, when modern industrial economy needs an aggregate EROI of above 12:1 in order to persist at its current level of complexity.
The Honest Sorcerer, A Diesel Powered Civilization Part 1: A gigantic Ponzi scheme https://thehonestsorcerer.substack.com/p/a-diesel-powered-civilizationOil Man Art Berman, This Is How Oil Ends (Our current oil production plateau won’t likely persist past 2030, if that)
The era of cheap oil ended two decades ago, when the average price jumped from $35 in the 1990s to over $90 since 2000.
The peak oil movement understood that part but missed how long debt could delay the inevitable decline in oil use. It’s still uncertain whether this will play out as peak oil, peak plateau, or peak demand. One thing, however, is certain: the future that peak oil warned about 20 years ago is here. And no matter how it unfolds, economic growth is heading for a serious reckoning.
It looked like the world might be running out of affordable oil during the first 15 years of this century. Prices hit $190 per barrel in 2008, adjusted for today’s dollars, and averaged nearly $150 from 2011 to late 2014 (Figure 1). Then the shale plays came online, and to many, peak oil seemed like a false alarm. https://www.artberman.com/blog/this-is-how-oil-ends/ Gail Tverberg point out that we may be in post-peak-affordable-uranium, too, as we have been using up decades of highly-enriched nuclear-warhead uranium in our reactors for 20 years. Nuclear electricity generation has hidden problems; don’t expect advanced modular units to solve them.
What I see is that the relatively “flat” overall nuclear electricity production has been accomplished, to a significant extent, by the “Advanced Economies, ex US” dropping back in their use of nuclear electricity at close to the same time the “Later Entrants” have rapidly been increasing their use of nuclear electricity. The Later Entrants can make goods for sale in international markets much more cheaply than the Advanced Economies, ex US through their efficient use of cheap energy (often from coal) and their lower wages. This more efficient approach gives the Later Entrants an “edge” in buying the uranium that is available.
I expect to see more of this pattern of squeezing out in the future. In fact, new and recently re-opened nuclear plants will need to compete existing nuclear generation units for available uranium.
Given the way squeezing out takes place, very few people will realize that there is a problem with uranium fuel. It will just be that leaders of some parts of the world, as well as some parts of the US, will start emphasizing stories about how dangerous nuclear energy is. Instead of nuclear, they will emphasize electricity generation from wind and solar and allow these approaches to “go first” when they are available. The result will be wholesale electricity prices that will be far too low for nuclear power plants, much of the time. It will be these low wholesale electricity prices that push nuclear power out.
Thus, unless there truly are breakthroughs in recycling spent fuels, or in uranium mining, electricity generation using nuclear energy may gradually slip away from many parts of the world currently using it. https://ourfiniteworld.com/2024/11/11/nuclear-electricity-generation-has-hidden-problems-dont-expect-advanced-modular-units-to-solve-them/Russia imposes ‘temporary’ ban on enriched uranium exports to US https://en.topwar.ru/253818-rossija-vvela-vremennyj-zapret-na-jeksport-obogaschennogo-urana-v-soedinennye-shtaty.html
John Leake, On Trump Derangement Syndrome, The anthropology and psychology of an obsession.
During the first presidency of Donald J. Trump this syndrome became so virulent that it created a strangely binary posture in public affairs. If Trump expressed even mild enthusiasm for a policy, person, or thing, his opposition automatically rejected it. To be sure, Trump often threw gasoline on the fire with his bombastic personal style and occasional buffoonery. The qualities that had once been viewed as showman’s schtick were widely deemed unacceptable in a US President. The court jester had become king, and it drove the lords and ladies at court mad.
As anthropologists and psychologists have long understood, humans are hyper social and tribal. Stanford Professor Rene Girard has pointed out that during times of stress and rivalry, we are inclined to ascribe blame not to a complex state of affairs, but to a particular person or group. Persistent problems and misfortunes build up negative psychic energy, which generates a collective yearning to destroy the person or persons on whom the blame is heaped. This process of scapegoating is amplified by what Professor Girard called mimesis—that is, imitation—the tendency to embrace an opinion or sentiment because everyone in a preferred group is embracing it. In trying to make sense of the world, we often look to those around us for cues to guide us in our perceptions and opinions. https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/on-trump-derangement-syndrome Scott Ritter has a long tale of his own blackmail & abuse from the FBI.

This evening’s edition of ‘News of the Week’ on Russian state television carried the ‘breaking news’ that President Biden has just given permission to Ukraine to use American ATACMS medium range ground launched missiles to attack deep within the Russian Federation. The same news also appears on the latest online edition of The New York Times….
..Regrettably, we are witnessing a replay of what occurred the first time Donald Trump was elected, back in November 2016. The reaction of the Obama administration was to use the couple of months before handover of power to sabotage the most salient aspect of his intended foreign policy initiative, to normalize relations with Russia…
..Just over two months ago, this very question of allowing Kiev to fire missiles using US technology on strikes deep inside the Russian Federation had been vetoed by Biden when it was proposed to him by visiting UK Prime Minister Starmer. That refusal followed by a day a direct threat from Vladimir Putin that the use by Kiev of medium range missiles supplied by nuclear powers in the West for such attacks on Russia would make the providers of those missiles co-belligerents. We said then that the Pentagon had prevailed upon the President to take the threat seriously and to decline to give his permission to the British, so that Starmer went home empty-handed.
What has happened to change the thinking in the Oval Office? There can be no doubt that Donald Trump’s victory on 5 November and the clear indications that he will cut American aid to Ukraine and push for a negotiated settlement of the war on terms acceptable to Moscow has enraged the Neocons who hold the Collective Biden in their thrall. The flip-flop on use of such missiles is a testament to the utter irresponsibility of this administration. It calls for an urgent move in Congress to stop an action that is tantamount to a declaration of war on Russia. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2024/11/17/joe-biden-one-foot-in-the-grave-and-he-wants-to-take-the-rest-of-us-with-him/ Andrew Korybko, How Will Russia Respond to Ukraine’s Use of Western Long-Range Missiles?
The whole point is to intensify the conflict over the next two months before Trump’s reinauguration so that he inherits a much more difficult situation than at present. This is expected to push him into adopting a more hawkish position on the conflict. https://www.globalresearch.ca/ukraine-western-long-range-missiles/5873023Moon of Alabama, To Prolong The War In Ukraine U.S. Allows ATACMS Use On Russia
President Joe Biden, or whoever is thinking for him, is doing his best to make peace in Ukraine less likely:
Putin has warned that Moscow could provide long-range weapons to others to strike Western targets if NATO allies allow Ukraine to use their arms to attack Russian territory...
..The ATACMS missiles Ukraine had so far been allowed to fire, mostly against Crimea, have been carriers of cluster ammunition with a reach of some 160 kilometer.
We do not know yet if the new authorized use for ATACMS munition on targets within Russia is only the relevant for cluster ammunition missile type or for high explosive ATACMS missiles with a reach of 300 kilometer.
However, the Russian President Vladimir Putin has correctly pointed out that ANY use of ATACMS requires the involvement of NATO (U.S/UK) assets for acquiring the targeting data and for planning and programming the missile’s mission. https://www.moonofalabama.org/2024/11/us-to-allow-atacms-use-on-russia-to-prolong-war-in-ukraine.html#moreIs Donald Trump Jr. going to be the “Peace Envoy”? White House Will Get “WW3 Going Before My Father Has Chance To Create Peace”, Don Jr Warns
The Kremlin has issued an initial response to widespread reports in US media saying that the Biden administration will now allow Ukraine to target Russia with US-supplied long-range missiles. Kremlin top spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that this would unleash a “significant new round of escalation” in the war if it proves true, but he also cautioned that Moscow authorities had yet to see official confirmation directly from the White House.
“If such a decision has indeed been formulated and communicated to the Kyiv regime, it marks a significant escalation and a fundamentally new stage in terms of U.S. involvement in this conflict,” Peskov said…
..Some US political figures reacted in similar horror and alarm, also warning of the risks for the outbreak of World War 3 with such a decision. Donald Trump Jr. sees this as an ultra-dangerous ploy by the lame-duck Biden administration to escalate the war just prior to Trump taking office.
“The Military Industrial Complex seems to want to make sure they get World War 3 going before my father has a chance to create peace and save lives,” he said on X Sunday, immediately after reports of the serious policy shift emerged.
And House Representative Thomas Massie has ripped Biden for once again circumventing Congress on matters of war, calling the decision an “unconstitutional Act of War that endangers the lives of all US citizens.” https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/white-house-will-get-ww3-going-my-father-has-chance-create-peace-don-jr-warns Gilbert Doctorow again, North Korean troops in Kursk: pretext for American escalation or cause?
In the past couple of weeks, there have been numerous articles in The New York Times and other mainstream disseminators of the CIA and White House propaganda lines regarding an alleged presence of North Korean troops in Russia to fight in Kursk against the Ukrainian forces there…
..Those same articles told us that the United States government considered the introduction of North Korean troops into the battle to represent a big escalation in the war by the Kremlin…
..US news sources tell us this morning that Washington has insisted that Kiev strike with ATACMS only targets within the Kursk oblast, supporting the notion that the objective is strictly a proportional tit-for-tat over the North Korean presence there. Indeed, if the Russians’ version of how such weapons are used, namely that all preparation and targeting is done by U.S. soldiers or U.S. military contractors, whatever strikes on Russia using ATACMS Kiev may claim, real control rests with Americans so they know very well what will be hit and where.
Let us put aside for the moment that the limitation on geography for attack is only temporary and will be expanded in the near future whenever Washington is ready to up the ante. Let us be explicit about what attacking the Kursk region means.
There are only two possible types of targets in Kursk oblast worthy of discussion. One is troop concentrations of Russians and North Koreans performing the mopping up operation in Kursk. ATACMS strikes there probably will not initially force the Russians to respond. The second is the nuclear power plant in the region which was believed to be the prize initially sought by Kiev when it began its incursion.
Let us remember that the Kursk nuclear power plant is an early type plant which has no protective concrete dome over it to contain radioactive leaks and to prevent missile strikes from disabling it. Accordingly, an ATACMS strike on the plant will likely create a big, even devastating leak of radioactive particles across the region, meaning predominantly on Russian territory. Such an eventuality would force the hand of Putin to respond with a nuclear attack, likely on the Continental United States…
..I am obliged to say what significance I see in the entry of North Korean soldiers on Russian Federation territory and possibly their deployment in Kursk.
I agree with Washington that this represents an important escalation by the Russians. But it has nothing to do with the war in and about Ukraine. It is a Russian response to U.S. actions in the Far East, where it is mobilizing South Korea and Japan against China in its containment policy there, against North Korea to apply maximum threats against Pyongyang, and ….against Russia in its containment policy on the RF everywhere.
By exercising its rights under the recently ratified mutual defense treaty with North Korea and inviting Pyongyang to move a substantial contingent of fighting men to the Western border of the Russian Federation, Moscow is serving notice on Washington that its own ‘sphere of influence,’ if I may paraphrase Barack Obama in his widely quoted insult to Putin about his country’s place in the world, extends to many, many areas, as should be expected from the world’s largest country accounting for 12 percent of the world’s land mass. https://gilbertdoctorow.substack.com/p/north-korean-troops-in-kursk-pretext Biden’s ‘Unnecessary Escalation’ Only Sets Trump Up for Failure – Ex-DoD Analyst
Ukraine’s use of ATACMS does not change much militarily, only adds up to escalation and sets Donald Trump up for failure after inauguration, Michael Maloof, a former senior security policy analyst in the Office of the US Secretary of Defense, told Sputnik. https://sputnikglobe.com/20241117/bidens-unnecessary-escalation-only-sets-trump-up-for-failure—ex-dod-analyst-1120915178.html Last week, a US missile base aimed at Russia was put into operation in Poland. The fact that US medium-range missiles can now fire thousands of kilometers into Russian territory from Poland was hardly worth reporting in the Western media. https://anti–spiegel-ru.translate.goog/2024/in-polen-wurde-eine-gegen-russland-gerichtete-offensive-us-raketenbasis-in-dienst-gestellt/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp
Simplicius, Operation ‘Dark Winter’ Resumes as Massive Russian Strikes Again Cripple Ukrainian Power Grid
“America is not going to save Ukraine. Maybe we need Mr. Trump — brazen and unscrupulous — to finally say so out loud and act accordingly.”
The Politico article strikes the same note, essentially arguing that Trump will be doing the West a huge favor by saving them from their own self-wrought unwinnable catastrophe. According to them, Kiev secretly knows that Trump is a better option than Harris because Trump is more likely to get a deal ‘favorable to Ukraine’ from Putin, whereas Harris and co. would have just prolonged the slaughter indefinitely, keeping to this waffling noncommittal track.
According to the author, everyone will get a ready excuse… After all, if he’s successful, European leaders and American hawks will have an alibi, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will have cover from likely angry front-line Ukrainian soldiers. They’ll all blame him for the broken promises, for the loss of the Donbas and Crimea’s continued annexation — because that’s what it will take to ink a deal...
..Trump takes office in two months and could presumably instantly roll-back Biden’s ‘deep strikes’ authorization, completely negating any effect by limiting their use to a tiny irrelevant time window.
The other thing is that Europe continues to crumble, with Macron having no favor at home, and Germany’s government now lacking a majority, with Scholz on the way out. Ukraine’s future vis-a-vis the mythical ‘European solidarity’ is on quite shaky grounds. Couple this with Russia’s now-resumed ‘Dark Winter’ campaign, and the next few months could be extremely rocky for Ukraine, particularly given the fact that Russia’s advances and territorial captures continue accelerating.
The new strikes authorization is presumably meant to tide Ukrainian societal morale over for a few months, with perhaps some kind of flashy ‘hit’ somewhere, that will be oversold as “devastating” to Russia, but it’s questionable how much mileage they can get even out of that anymore. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/operation-dark-winter-resumes-asNote: Complex systems collapse down to what is supportable by available energy.

Do you have to be so blunt? The US Has Been In Recession For Years… Daniel Lacalle
Many commentators cannot understand why Trump won the elections despite a robust economy…
Anyone who has delved into the supposedly solid headline figures can clearly see the real weakness of the U.S. economy. An unsustainable increase in government spending and federal debt bloated the official GDP, making gross domestic income significantly weaker than headline GDP. Additionally, the Conference Board and University of Michigan consumer confidence readings, well below 2019 and 2021 levels, indicated a stagnant economy. Significant negative revisions and concerning elements were evident in the job reports. The entire improvement of the labor force since 2021 came from foreign workers, and the employment-to-population and labor force participation ratios remained significantly below 2019 levels. Real wages were stagnant in the past four years using official figures. Investment was weak, and the Russell 2000 index, which includes the top small-cap companies generating most of their business in the US, reflected an insignificant 1.8% sales growth and no real earnings growth between 2021 and November 2024…

Senate Moves to Silence Criticism of Israel as Hate Speech With ‘Antisemitism Awareness Act’
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is trying to ram through the “Antisemitism Awareness Act” to silence criticism of Jews and Israel as hate speech and empower the federal government to crack down on anti-Israel protests on college campuses.
Schumer is attempting to pass the bill by adding it to the so-called “must pass” 2025 National Defense Authorization Act but is drawing pushback from House Speaker Mike Johnson.
Johnson already passed the bill in the House and agrees with the bill in principle but just wants it to be a standalone vote (trashing our First Amendment on behalf of a foreign power now has bipartisan consensus). https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=64748Israeli Settler Leader Says She Scouted a Location for Jewish Settlements in Gaza, Daniella Weiss says she has 740 families ready to move into Gaza https://news.antiwar.com/2024/11/17/israeli-settler-leader-says-she-scouted-a-location-for-jewish-settlements-in-gaza/

Trump literally standing before an Israeli flag and vowing to kill free speech for Israeli interests makes a lie of everything the “MAGA movement” says it stands for, exposing it for the scam it’s always been. https://consortiumnews.com/2024/11/17/caitlin-johnstone-suppressing-speech-to-aid-israel/ Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a professor of health policy at Stanford University, is a top contender to lead the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the next Trump administration, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Bhattacharya was a key figure who spoke out against COVID-19 lockdowns and mandates during the pandemic.
The consideration, first reported by The Washington Post, comes after President-elect Donald Trump named Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as his nominee for secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the NIH.
If Bhattacharya is ultimately nominated and confirmed to lead the agency, he would be responsible for 27 institutes and centers on issues ranging from cancer and aging to drug abuse. Those include the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which was formerly chaired by Dr. Anthony Fauci. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/jay-bhattacharya-emerges-top-contender-nih-chief Twice-Censored Landmark COVID-19 Vaccine Autopsy Study Fully Peer-Reviewed and Published
After enduring relentless censorship, our systematic review linking COVID-19 vaccines to death is now available for the entire world to read.
The largest COVID-19 vaccine autopsy study to-date, providing robust evidence that COVID-19 vaccines can cause death, has been officially republished following successful peer-review in the journal Science, Public Health Policy, and the Law: A Systematic Review Of Autopsy Findings In Deaths After COVID-19 Vaccination. This comes after unethical censorship on two occasions: first, removal from Preprints with the Lancet and later, withdrawal by Elsevier after publication in Forensic Science International. https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/breaking-news-twice-censored-landmark Sasha Latypova presents German government meticulously recording its lies to German citizens: Dr. Stefan Homburg: Some Interesting Excerpts from the RKI-Leak

Look at the numbers from 3 different sources it looks simply awful, and we don’t have 2023 or 2024 numbers yet, so these graphs miss any effects on longevity from COVID vaccines for the past 2 years. https://merylnass.substack.com/p/does-the-united-states-desperately
Steve Kirsch, Over 300 pages of evidence from the CDC show very clearly that vaccines cause autism and that Wakefield was right about the MMR shots
Recently, I received a treasure trove of documents from a source inside the CDC showing they knew for over 20 years that Wakefield was right: vaccines cause autism. https://kirschsubstack.com/p/over-300-pages-of-evidence-from-the ‘Disaster Waiting to Happen’: FDA Approves Phase 1 Trial of Gates-funded Self-amplifying Bird Flu Vaccine

At least I am not alone in despairing for humanity.
Uh, neither Taoists or Buddhists ‘despair for humanity’- try it on, may improve your search for truth.
This year’s election, though, seems to have broken progressive brains.
A few brains around here too, closet Liberals I suspect.
The establishment media initially argued that Kamala Harris lost because of her race, the MSM shifted their narrative and blamed “misogyny” instead. The same people who refuse to accept the scientific definition of a woman are mad that we still don’t have a woman president.
Racism and misogyny…claim Liberals. The party that can’t define a woman freaks out when the first woman President is not to be… VP was apparently not enough to celebrate.
Obama- 1st Black Gay President
Trump- 1st non-establishment politician outsider business man President
Harris- 1st colored female VPNever good enough for retarded liberals is it? So yes Democrats Love war and hate truth, they hate themselves and they fucking hate you too. Woodchipper the fuckers seems reasonable, that’s how you ‘out monster the monster’ without permanently becoming one. Fertilizer is productive.
When asked why they voted for Trump Americans often mention the economy, but in the same breath they cite woke ideology as the reason why they no longer support the Democrats.
Woke mind virus-
The last straw was undoubtedly the targeting of children with trans propaganda. Voters will only tolerate drag queen story hour, sexualized dances in front of kids (or involving kids), men in women’s bathrooms or tampons in boys bathrooms for so long. The public finally snapped and sent leftists a clear message: Your ideology is cancer and we’re cutting it out.
Joe “pandemic of the unvaccinated” Biden authorizes long range attacks inside Russia.
Remind me which one of you retards claimed no difference between Brandon and Trump?
Surely both can’t be literally Hitler right? Which one is the real monster?The point that Tucker Carlson makes in the video above, to my understanding, is accurate and is reflected in all aspects of modern experience.
Chris “no health care for the unvaxxed” Cuomo tears up proclaiming his vaxtard injuries looking at Tucker dumbfounded.

worth a watch as Democrats rape children’s minds and bodies.The gay ‘community’ are toxic pedophiles.
Co-worker told me his 11 year old son was “gay”.
How can an 11yo child decide they are gay when the are pre-puberty, have never sucked a male dick or gone to 2nd/3rd base with a girl their age? American children are being preyed upon (not prayed for) by disgusting sick Liberals.

Skripals?
Novichok?
Porton Downs?
