    NHS disruption driving rise in heart deaths, charity says.

    “In August, Phil Moore, a former professional skier, had a heart attack as he was walking to his car after a shopping trip. The 50-year-old from Kent said: “It came on very suddenly, with no warning, and I felt very, very sick.” ”

    You can catch a whisper of what else is going on if you listen to the frequent rants heard from the managerial class these days about how young people just don’t want to work any more.
    Talk to the young people in question and you’ll find that quite a few of them are working very hard on projects of their own. What they’re not willing to do is waste their lives working in abusive and humiliating environments to make someone else rich, in exchange for rock-bottom wages, no prospect for advancement, and no benefits worth mentioning. That their reaction comes as a surprise to anyone is a good measure of just how detached our society’s comfortable classes have become from the reality their preferred policies have created.

    There it is in a nut-shell……….abuse, no benefits/healthcare worth a shit!!! Or anything else for a decent retirement life…

    I left, and I retired at 62 with sufficient SS for a decent, respectable life abroad…
    I was a master machinist and treated like garbage…

    My revenge is living well with good healthcare, and having $500 to $1,000 in my pocket at any given time…

    MUSK COULD HAVE IT ALL!

    If Musk is successful in opening up Twitter he could look to do the same in other areas.

    What if he started a Youtube equivalent which does does not demonetise users or ban videos.

    What if he starts a Facebook equivalent which does not censor or ban users.

    What if he starts a Paypal equivalent which does not steal people’s money or ban organisations.

    What if he starts a Patreon equivalent which does not ban users.

    He may [initially] not have a great many content providers but they could each attract large followings making them commercially worth much more than the outlay in costs.

    “Poland Begins Construction of Razor-Wire Barrier along Border with Russia’s Kaliningrad”

    But walls don’t work! …As Pelosi himself showed. They don’t work if you drive them over, pay them a quick $50 and let them in.

    And as with all walls worldwide, I bet we’re paying for it.

    “Portland Facing Homelessness ‘Catastrophe’: Mayor – Council working on five-point plan to help the estimated 6000 people living on the streets”

    So 1 in 10 people in the city are homeless? In a cold, rainy place? How did THAT happen? Sounds like however that happened, it didn’t used to be and we should make it UN-happen. But don’t you know if we went back to the 50s we’d have to un-invent light bulbs and use candles too? That’s just logic! (Left Logic)

    “No, There Will Not Be Any “Pandemic Amnesty” …Because they’re still requiring vaccines and expelling scientists.

    There was some good news though: CBDC Central Bank Digital Currency, which they pick some poor country nobody’s watching as their little hamster experiment, (Sri Lanka) they picked Nigeria to force the CBDC down our throats. The Nigerians, having been screwed by these people for 200 years, rejected it soundly and immediately. The Banker-Government merger was very surprised: “Hey! Why no one trust us???” How Dare You. Although we’ve been screwed even longer by the same people, the West are a bunch of naive brain-damaged toddlers in comparison, but still it doesn’t look good for them. As they have NO alternative but truth (Hahahaha, just kidding: never happen), they will probably try to FORCE it (because they know no actions or methods BUT force) will totally screw up everything, destroy and dissolve the economy, and STILL lose, because they are losing losers who lose. Bitcoin exists. Why would we trust Janet Yellen and The Bernank instead? Because of his shiny Nobel? The guy who started the most wars this century got a Peace Prize, so the guy who got the economic prize for inflation did…what?

    Like everything, have to endure. Perennial as Grass. Get new tires, keep cash.

    Speaking of not enduring, seems the Red Hats held off the collapse and dumped it on the Blue Hats, Ha ha! …Except now the Blue Hats have ALSO held off the collapse and if the Red Hats get in can pull the plug and blame the new Republican Congress. Oh well. Investigations commence. Still, did any of us anticipate this in ‘99? 25 years ago? Is their ability to suspend math and reality in fact infinite? You’ve got to wonder sometimes. Another .75% hike, no collapse.

    How many mines? If you really loved the earth you would open all those mines. Mommy, why do you hate the earth so much? Level all the mountains, fill all the valleys, turn the world into a desert and call it “Peace”.

    Stossel, 60,000 miles. That is probably not true. I think environmentalists would prefer to also remove the Nuclear from that math. So 80,000mi? When do the batteries need replacement with a lithium recycling we don’t have? And you’re also paying for the all-asphalt roads and the unfathomable diesel equipment keeping them smooth and operational.

    Only conservation can help this. Use less. Reuse and Make it do. Do without. Localize. Happiness that way lies.

    “US Struggling to Trace Arms Given to Ukraine – WaPo (RT)”

    Such astonishing infantile thinking on this, Americans say “why can’t we put an Apple Tag on them?” O M G. Because then Russia could track every weapon from SPACE? Not like we don’t know there is infantile, suicidal, non-thought here, but sometimes… This is what happens when you loose the dogs of war, people.

    “He added that it would be even “fairer” to transfer the property to the “defenders, who risk their lives on the frontline”

    Like this. Don’t start a war if you don’t want what happens after.

    “Germany’s Position In America’s New World Order (Michael Hudson)”

    “Theirs is not to reason why–
    Theirs is but to do…and die.”

    “Germany has become an economic satellite of America’s New Cold War” … which is itself a satellite of Europe, London, and the WEF. …Or did you think West Virginians WANT to fight 140 nations worldwide?

    What is the express goal of the WEF? “The middle class will own nothing…”

    “the US is no longer much of a nuclear threat either. Putin barely hinted at this,”

    Considering we’re using 70 year old planes, 50 year old tanks, and our nuclear computers use 8” floppy disks, this is highly likely. Among the many, MANY things nobody bothers to ask and find out, nuclear weapons don’t/can’t just sit in the silo, but need constant, regular, expensive, high-tech re-fitting. Considering the rest of the whole military, I have to doubt this is being done or done correctly, so they’re probably bluffing and half our nuclear silos aren’t ready and operational. More probably our subs are tho, which are adequate and more likely to be used.

    This is a different line than Orlov is saying, as Russia is using exclusively their 3rd- tier equipment in Ukraine so as to anticipate NATOs invasion from Poland and Lithuania (this is being set up now), and to deny them a peek at these weapons and the tactics of their use. But Russia is using only S-300 in the theatre, and now have S-600 anti-air units in beta. I’m sure they could shoot down sub missiles designed in the 70s, but I’m also sure no one wants to find out and lose Archangel over it.

    I was thinking the Diesel “shortage” is a pre-release story, a story “plant” because they are arranging for an actual diesel shortage or covering for one they feel is inevitable. I take this line of thinking for granted when the long term average is 35 days and it drops to 28, but it may bear mentioning here. So who has all the diesel they could ever dream of? Ukraine of course! Our 51st State and Capital City.

    But here we go, probably they will arrange an actual shortage and put the gas lines on camera nationwide. THAT is the communication, not that the shortages are inevitable or anything. They are quite clearly avoidable, and we are purposefully causing them. Same as Europe pulling the meter off the house and complaining it’s dark inside.

    Investors in Facebook parent company Meta are reportedly growing dissatisfied”

    Facebook is a CIA department masquerading as a company. So…if Facebook, Amazon, and Twitter are collapsing, doesn’t that suggest the CIA and Lettermen have run out of money and power? We cut off their drug and money laundering money, and now the bottom of the barrel is seen. That’s why they NEED to sell all those (our) weapons to criminals in Finland. To raise money to defend the Mafia HQ.

    “So we’re asking, how much profit do they need before they’ll release those bloody redacted pages?”

    …That we paid for. Remember how they were going to provide vax for free as we paid for it? But I was thinking with MissTruss, that any 10c Hacker can get into her non-secure, #AntiSecure Apple account and read her texts. Every secret service can. She can. So the government is wide open and transparent to EVERYONE.

    …Open to Everyone EXCEPT the people. Who pay for it. A perfect representation of #OppositeLand. WE are supposed to be the only people who DO know, so we can make decisions, have discussions and vote correctly. We are they only people who can’t know and in fact will be arrested and held without trial for asking.

    …They’re perfectly transparent all right. Or at least their villainous plans are.

    “Died Suddenly” the Author/Movie of “Julie and Julia” at 48 for cardiac arrest.

    “Kids don’t want to work”

    Actually, they don’t want to be treated like s—t for a task that has no meaning but hamster farms and paving more farmland for nail salons. Since the outcome of working and not working are exactly the same (FROM each according to their ability; TO each according to need), why bother? I agree. It’s those who don’t do this that are the patsies and idiots. Anyone who works around here must be a moron.

    Yes, they are NEVER going to finish counting. Because they already anticipate they can’t cheat their way in even with 2020 levels. Biden also is confirming this is the thinking.

    Putin is running the WEF to destroy the West middle class to plan: Sure, this would be the same plan as having the U.S. lose this (nuclear) WWIII as Hillary promised us, in order to have abject poverty, desperation, and ruin. That would handily hide the 6-sigma vax deaths. That is their express goal, stated many times. But I don’t think so, and I don’t think Putin knows it, even if the WEF does use him or the chessboard this way. Should keep an eye on it. Intentional or accidental doesn’t matter much to me.

    As this was discussed, I believe the Russian vaccine is (Very) different, using their technology. China’s is also very different, but uses the classic attenuated virus method. So it’s quite likely NEITHER is deadly at all, as they produce NO spike proteins in the body. This is an artifact of US calling mRNA a “Vaccine” when it isn’t at all, and WE had to redefine that word, and Science, to call a hawk a handsaw. “What is a Rose by any other name?” Well it ain’t a cabbage, don’t bite down hard.

    Genius continuation by AFKTT about the oil used to dispose of oil (plastics) AFTER their use. Doesn’t that suggest it might be more ecological NOT to trash it on a garbage truck, train, and barge? To leave it on the street to actually save the earth? If it starts piling up, maybe people would learn something about all the short-term crap they’ve been buying, in addition to harboring diesel for better use on farms. I wonder how much it is, but price is suggesting like the plastic junk creation, the cost is ASTOUNDINGLY low. More’s the pity, in a way. A world where it isn’t is a world more enduring and valuable, where you must choose your purchases carefully and give thanks for them.

    Ohio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davis%E2%80%93Besse_Nuclear_Power_Station

    Davis–Besse was expected to close in 2020 as it is no longer profitable to run when competing against natural gas plants. However, Ohio House Bill 6 was signed into law in July 2019 which added a fee to residents’ utility bills that funded subsidies of $150 million per year”

    Capitalism! Where the government MAKES you pay money to private corporations! After PAYING the corporation to build the plant. …In this case, might have worked though. Imagine the plant shut down and gas goes 10x. Unstable. Reminds me I heard of nuke plants, they actually X-ray all these pipe parts to look for erosion because they’re under such high pressure and the risks are higher than other plants. Weird and expensive, but not really compared to running a station that size.

    There is a picture of me shelling black-eyed “peas” in my dia de los muertos regalia on all saiints day.
    The selection I put together yesterday for “Spotting Enemies” has some content included here today, also previously. I’ll omit some, but painting the picture is an important part of this. https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/spotting-enemies

    This collection of linked articles seems to be identifying the enemy of non-elite humans.
    Is the “best defense” “a good offense” or is it “Invisibility”?
    I think I’d like to be invisible to enemies. It leaves a lot of flexible options.
    This invisibility of our collective enemy is structural. There are confusing and opaque systems.
    We are bled, but can’t see how. It’s just how things are.
    We are told that there is a very tiny subset of people that owns almost everything, but it’s wrong to name anybody, maybe even “racist” sometimes.

    Zero Hedge has the spectacular quotes in bold, but includes the whole interview transcript at the bottom. Roubini sees multiple interlinked threats to global economy, global warming from fossil fuels, very high debt, rising inflation/stagflation and the dependence on critical global supply chains. He thinks computer chips are more economically essential than oil. I disagree, but Taiwan makes 50% of global chips and 80% of “high-end” chips.

    ​ ​In fact, these foundations and investment funds are the richest families, and many stay forever hidden, with the exception of the few. Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, George Soros, the Clinton’s, the Bush’s, the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, and others are known, but most are not. Vanguard is a private corporation, and does not disclose its shareholders, so they can hide in plain sight; never divulging their ownership of the world. All of these players are directly and indirectly connected with each other, and the top few pull the strings of the planet’s economic systems.
    ​ ​Yes, Gates, Soros, the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, the Royal Families, the Vatican, the top-level Zionists, the Morgan’s, the Bush’s, the Clinton’s, Klaus Schwab and the WEF, the UN, and many others are known, but many of the most evil and powerful controllers remain hidden in the shadows, while they manage all global networks. These are the owners of the rest of us, while their pawns in governments around the world due the bidding of their masters.
    ​ ​Most today think in terms of politics, and believe that politicians and the state players are in charge. This is idiotic nonsense, as the ‘covid’ hoax revealed. Virtually every country on earth acted in concert, and in the exact same manner at the same time. This would be not only absurd, but a complete impossibility unless a top-down conspiracy were in place, and being guided by the very few. Nearly every country in the world destroyed its own economies, its own citizens, and mandated similar if not identical policies meant to take total control over entire populations. If a large portion of the masses cannot understand the scope of this madness, there is no hope for humanity, for this world is now under the thumb of the few most powerful, who own and control most all the monetary systems, assets, land, medical care, pharmaceuticals, ‘education’ facilities, travel, banking, lawmaking, enforcement agencies, militaries, media, and have the ability to alter the psychological makeup of those they do not purposely murder by injection, torture, or starvation.

    Vanguard and Blackrock Own the Entire World: We Are Already a New Global World Order in the Making



    Michael Hudson draws an interesting historical parallel to the Roman Pope declaring “primacy” and declaring the Orthodox Church at Constantinople, and all of the ancient Patriarchs of Jerusalem and other sites to be null and void, not “Christian”. At this point he declared that all earthly kings must subjugate their power and their kingdoms to the head of the Roman Catholic Church, himself, and pay tribute. The tribute was necessary to carry out wars of conquest against dissenting Germanic kings, and the Crusades/conquests of the Holy Land. When the conquests against “the other” finally failed, the Papal-authority scheme collapsed. One can see the similarities to the postwar hegemony of the US, taking up “the white man’s burden” from the British-Empire, and now suffering humiliation in Europe, after the humiliation in Afghanistan. Where Hudson speaks of “America”, my mind substitutes “neoliberal globalists”.
    One might hope that history plays out more expediently this time. They say history is moving faster these days.
    ​Michael Hudson, Germany’s Position in America’s New World Order
    U.S. President Biden and his State Department spokesmen have explained that Ukraine is just the opening arena in a much broader dynamic that is splitting the world into two opposing sets of economic alliances. This global fracture promises to be a ten- or twenty-year struggle to determine whether the world economy will be a unipolar U.S.-centered dollarized economy, or a multipolar, multi-currency world centered on the Eurasian heartland with mixed public/private economies.
    President Biden has characterized this split as being between democracies and autocracies. The terminology is typical Orwellian double-speak. By “democracies” he means the U.S. and allied Western financial oligarchies. Their aim is to shift economic planning out of the hands of elected governments to Wall Street and other financial centers under U.S. control. U.S. diplomats use the International Monetary Fund and World Bank to demand privatization of the world’s infrastructure and dependency on U.S. technology, oil and food exports.
    By “autocracy,” Biden means countries resisting this financialization and privatization takeover. In practice, U.S. rhetoric means promoting its own economic growth and living standards, keeping finance and banking as public utilities. What basically is at issue is whether economies will be planned by banking centers to create financial wealth – by privatizing basic infrastructure, public utilities and social services such as health care into monopolies – or by raising living standards and prosperity by keeping banking and money creation, public health, education, transportation and communications in public hands.
    The country suffering the most “collateral damage” in this global fracture is Germany. As Europe’s most advanced industrial economy, German steel, chemicals, machinery, automotives and other consumer goods are the most highly dependent on imports of Russian gas, oil and metals from aluminum to titanium and palladium. Yet despite two Nord Stream pipelines built to provide Germany with low-priced energy, Germany has been told to cut itself off from Russian gas and de-industrialize. This means the end of its economic preeminence. The key to GDP growth in Germany, as in other countries, is energy consumption per worker.
    These anti-Russian sanctions make today’s New Cold War inherently anti-German.

    Thanks Jeremy.

    ​ Dmitry Orlov assures us that M.A.D. is back in force, and protecting all of us, in this world of completely-rational decision-making by rational decision makers who are really all-in-the-same-boat with the rest of us, and would prefer to lose their power and privilege than to risk nuclear annihilation.
    ​ ​The Russian nuclear sub Belgorod recently sailed off into the blue, causing a bit of a panic within NATO. It carries a number of the new Poseidon nuclear-powered drone torpedos, which are all about the number 100. Each of them carries a charge of 100 megatons. Poseidons have almost infinite range, move at around 100 km/h at a depth of 100m (three times deeper than any nuclear sub) and when detonated near an underwater coastal ridge can raise a 100-meter tsunami. Just five of them are sufficient to demolish both costs of the US and all of Northern Europe. These would be underwater nuclear tests conducted in international waters—antisocial, yes, but not exactly direct nuclear strikes on anyone’s territory, so hardly a casus belli. And the ensuing tsunami? Uh-oh! Oopsie-daisy, sorry about that! Nobody is going to write “in case of tsunami destroy Russia” into the US nuclear doctrine. Best of all, Poseidons can lie in wait for years, surfacing periodically to receive new orders. But if Russia is destroyed they will rise up and destroy the rest of the world world, because “What use is the world if there is no Russia in it?” (V. Putin)
    ​ ​We can be sure that the Russians won’t launch a nuclear war because it’s risky and they don’t have to take that risk in order to win. We can be sure that the Americans won’t launch one because it would be suicide. And so we can all sit back and relax while the “Putin’s nuclear blackmail” narrative-mongers bark their stupid heads off.

    The New Cuban Missile Crisis That Isn’t

    ​ ​Those behind a major drone attack on the Russian naval base in the Crimean port city of Sevastopol made active use of a UN-brokered Black Sea grain corridor, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement after studying the wreckage of the unmanned combat vehicles.
    ​ ​The ministry’s specialists retrieved the navigational modules of the drones destroyed by the Russian warships and naval aviation, the statement said, adding that the Canadian-made devices stored data on the vehicles’ path to their target.
    ​ ​Most of them were launched from the Ukrainian Black Sea coast, not far from the port city of Odessa, the Russian military said. “The naval drones were then moving within the security zone of the grain corridor before changing course and heading towards the Russian naval base in Sevastopol,” the statement said.
    ​ ​Navigational data from at least one naval drone shows that it was launched from a sea location within the grain corridor security zone, the ministry added. According to Russian specialists, it might have been launched from a civilian vessel chartered by Ukraine or its “western backers” to transport Ukrainian agricultural produce.

    ​ “Fool me once”? I suspect that Russia has a countermeasure if Ukraine/UK/US/NATO pull the same trick again.​
    ​ ​Russia sa​ys​ it has agreed to return to the Turkey and UN-brokered grain deal to allow for the continued export of Ukrainian grain through a Black Sea ‘safety corridor’.
    ​ ​Moscow said it has returned to the deal after receiving assurances that Ukraine will not use the maritime safety corridor for military purposes. Russia’s Defense Ministry confirmed it has received “sufficient” guarantees from the Ukrainian government that it will demilitarize the humanitarian corridor, following last week Russia saying its ships had come under drone attack.
    ​ ​”Russia considers that the received guarantees are at the moment sufficient and is resuming the implementation of the agreement,” the ministry said. The vital deal is set to be renewed in mid-November after nearly 10 million tons of grains and other foodstuffs have been sent through it since it was implemented in the summer. Russia announced it had pulled out on Saturday, resulting in a diplomatic scramble to find a way forward.

    ​Russia openly derides this “tabloid press” story.​ That’s not a refutation. Presumably, they have their own sources so they don’t have to believe or disbelieve it.
    ​ ​The computers at GAZPROM, which recorded the minutes/seconds the sensor alarms went off, all use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for the time stamps.
    ​ ​Exactly one minute after the alarms went off at GAZPROM, iCloud records of Prime Minister Liz Truss iPhone, show that she used her iPhone to send a text message to Antony Blinken, US Secretary of State. The message: “It’s done.”
    ​ ​The iCloud computers also use Coordinated Universal Time for message time stamps. So although Russia and the UK are in different time zones, UTC proves that it was literally ONE MINUTE after the GAZPROM pressure sensor alarms went off, that Liz Truss sent her text message to Blinken.

    ​ ​Russia sa​ys​ it has agreed to return to the Turkey and UN-brokered grain deal to allow for the continued export of Ukrainian grain through a Black Sea ‘safety corridor’.
    ​ ​Moscow said it has returned to the deal after receiving assurances that Ukraine will not use the maritime safety corridor for military purposes. Russia’s Defense Ministry confirmed it has received “sufficient” guarantees from the Ukrainian government that it will demilitarize the humanitarian corridor, following last week Russia saying its ships had come under drone attack.
    ​ ​”Russia considers that the received guarantees are at the moment sufficient and is resuming the implementation of the agreement,” the ministry said. The vital deal is set to be renewed in mid-November after nearly 10 million tons of grains and other foodstuffs have been sent through it since it was implemented in the summer. Russia announced it had pulled out on Saturday, resulting in a diplomatic scramble to find a way forward.

    ​Russia openly derides this “tabloid press” story.​ That’s not a refutation. Presumably, they have their own sources so they don’t have to believe or disbelieve it.
    ​ ​The computers at GAZPROM, which recorded the minutes/seconds the sensor alarms went off, all use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for the time stamps.
    ​ ​Exactly one minute after the alarms went off at GAZPROM, iCloud records of Prime Minister Liz Truss iPhone, show that she used her iPhone to send a text message to Antony Blinken, US Secretary of State. The message: “It’s done.”
    ​ ​The iCloud computers also use Coordinated Universal Time for message time stamps. So although Russia and the UK are in different time zones, UTC proves that it was literally ONE MINUTE after the GAZPROM pressure sensor alarms went off, that Liz Truss sent her text message to Blinken.

    ‘US has no plans to withdraw from Syria or end sanctions’: Official
    Despite claiming its presence in Syria is solely to fight ISIS, US forces​ ​maintain regime change policies against Damascus and illegally loot the country’s oil
    ​ ​US troops in Syria are preoccupied with their persistent and illegal oil-looting operations, the latest of which took place on 26 October. Lately, Washington has even stepped up its looting of Syrian oil in order to alleviate the man-made energy crisis it faces, as well as to ease the effect of the latest decision by OPEC+ to cut output production levels.
    ​ ​According to the Syrian Oil Ministry, US forces have stolen more than 80 percent of the country’s daily oil output.

    CEPI: The Vaccine Cartel’s SPECTRE
    The Global Pandemic Response was a Business Plan
    ​ ​On October 19, 2019, the Johns Hopkins Center for Public Security, in collaboration with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum, conducted a Pandemic Simulation Exercise.
    ​ ​”The center’s latest pandemic simulation, Event 201, dropped participants right in the midst of an uncontrolled coronavirus outbreak that was spreading like wildfire out of South America to wreak worldwide havoc.”​ …​
    “The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) supported the manufacturing of the vaccine candidate for the Phase 1 clinical trial.”
    NIAID’s March 16, 2020 announcement signaled that Dr. Fauci’s institution and CEPI were initiating their business plan of developing the vaccine solution instead of the repurposed drug treatment solution. Treating COVID-19 simply wasn’t in the business plan. This explains why Gates and Fauci and friends weren’t interested in the potential value of repurposed drugs such as hydroxychloroquine—an old generic drug that costs approximately $6.00 for a 5-day therapeutic course.

    Short list, according to TAE

    worst enemy is reality itself.

    1. Western countries are waging an information war not only against Russia but also the entire international community,
    2. Germany and other NATO countries have been told to impose trade and investment sanctions upon themselves
    3. France has a nuclear fleet of 56 reactors. Currently, only 31 units are reportedly operating
    4. Talk to the young people in question and you’ll find that quite a few of them are working very hard on projects of their own. What they’re not willing to do is waste their lives working in abusive and humiliating environments to make someone else rich, in exchange for rock-bottom wages, no prospect for advancement, and no benefits worth mentioning. That their reaction comes as a surprise to anyone is a good measure of just how detached our society’s comfortable classes have become from the reality their preferred policies have created.
    5. Lack of transparency and accountability to taxpayers creates a new tyranny,

    Amnesty:

    Did you notice the “amnesty” lady SPEIFICIALLY said “we can factor out malicious misinformation spreaders” in any amnesty, forgiveness, live and let live decisions?

    So her article is certainly NOT a request for forgiveness.

    It is ALSO not a plea for dropping any of the things she could have asked forgiveness FOR. No suggestion to stop nor undo.

    Her article is best understood as a plea for TARGET PRIORITIZATION.

    Translation of her Amnesty article “Right now, we need to concentrate all efforts against ‘thought-leaders.’ We can circle back around to everyday normies at a later time. Redouble our efforts on anyone we’ve labeled ‘malicious misinformation spreaders‘”

    How else do you interpret an article that offers to stop nothing, undo nothing and declares “misinformation-spreaders” to be exempt from any amnesty?

    like everything in opposite-land, the article calls for not letting anyone get away while saying the word amnesty. A prominent, renowned doctor losing their accreditation at almost the same time as the article being published is telling.

    The “amnesty” article is saying No Mercy. In response to, at this very late date, a doctor’s life being ruined, it brings up amnesty and says “Not for THOSE guys” Because somebody might look up and say “Why the heck are we still coming after this dude NOW?”

    I’m particularly interested in this “amnesty” given my own personal situation.

    I was let go by my ginormous employer in April for not divulging my experimental injection which does not vaccinate status. I had worked fully remote for over 2 years. The company exempted all retail employees from the requirement. They fired remote people with no workplace to go to in their entire state. The HR lady who announced the requirement said it was being done “For Clarity”

    In April there was already PLENTY of information showing the ineffectiveneness and unsafety of this thing. I figured this must be the tail end of the panic. I gave it a few months to let things blow over and started applying for jobs in late July.

    Over 70 applications. The only interview I got was with a 50 person company with no government contracts.

    I had a fairly low level job. The kind of job that grinds through employees, has a high turnover. I’m just a peon, but my resume is kickass FOR the peon position I am trying for. I’m well spoken and do well on aptitude tests.

    I’m not talking about getting a job here, I’m talking about getting an INTERVIEW. 70+ jobs that I have painstakingly researched to make sure I was a good fit for, cover letters tailored to the specific position, etc.

    The 50 person company had a ton of applicants vying for one position. I made it through 3 levels of interview before I didn’t get the job. They seemed to think fairly highly of me – they asked me to apply again if another position opens up.

    So I’ve puzzled over why a small company with a MORE rigorous process and higher standards would be the ONE entity that gives me an interview vs the ginormous corporate entities that just need to shovel humans into multiple open positions like cannon fodder. And every single position I have applied for is 100% remote. To hopefully avoid a replay of April.

    Having watched our current president talk about creating a LIST, I do start to wonder.

    Surely occupying me with some crap job 40+hrs a week is preferable to me having all the time in the world to do anything I want, think about things, etc? Maybe the concept is that the Gulag is now everywhere rather than a specific location. Gulag in place. Or I’m supposed to get so mad I do something evil and foolish?

    My wife still views the firing as something I did to her as opposed to something that was done to me or to us. I’ve pointed out she VOTED FOR the dude who openly promised to do this to us. lol that does not go over well at all. The 70+ non-replies mean, to her, that I am doing something wrong and should just get a temp position. Ah yes, just maintain this level of employment uncertainty indefinitely as a way of life.

    In one of the last team meetings, a coworker proposed – vociferously and at some length – that the unvaxxed should be made to wear “special clothing” ….”for safety.” I barely restrained myself from asking, for the sake of environmentally conscious action, if entire suits of special clothing was wasteful and a brightly colored arm band or badge might suffice. Nobody objected. The leadership present on the call did not lift a finger to stop nor refute her rant.

    What do they even mean by amnesty? It appears to consist of NO concrete actions nor statements other than who, on the opposing side, doesn’t get to have it. Oh, amnesty? Really? Oh, so I get my job back with back pay? I can at least get A job maybe? This amnesty stuff is great news.

    from Moon of Alabama

    The United States on Wednesday accused North Korea of covertly shipping a “significant number” of artillery shells to Russia to aid its war effort in Ukraine

    Oh no! People shouldn’t sell weapons to nations active in this conflict! That would be wrong!

    The White House’s national security spokesman, John Kirby, said that it was unclear if the artillery munitions, which are being transferred through the Middle East and North Africa, had reached Russia. The United States does not believe that the additional weapons will alter the trajectory of the war.

    It’s definitely happening, but don’t worry. It has no effect. It is useless.

    Additional weapons will surely turn the tide for Ukraine (as we have assured you in wall to wall 24/7 repetitive messaging for 8 months) but additional weapons cannot be useful to anyone else.

    B goes on to show, with a map, how there is a rail line directly connecting the two countries.

    But if Bad Stuff goes through the middle east and north africa through intermediaries, even though it is totally useless, that’s way more spooky. People shouldn’t be big meanies. Not even totally ineffectually. That’s a rule. (unless it is us)

    @jb-hb: am appreciating your extremely sensitive and careful analysis of the “amnesty” article.

    Original thinking with this comment: “Her article is best understood as a plea for TARGET PRIORITIZATION.”

    Regardless of the reason (accidental release, f-up, intentional release), it should be considered a “canary” event – for what lies ahead. In Opposite-Land – there is no amnesty in the amnesty article; this presents a dangerous landscape for the real priority targets.

    Sorry to hear of your challenges finding decent work. Being very good at what you do is rarely valued and or appreciated at this time, so perhaps re-prioritizing expectations relative to reality would be the right exercise?

    Kudos for staying positive.

    @jb-hb: Very interesting take on the “amnesty” article. I had to go back and read it again, and I now see what you’re suggesting.

    I pulled the plug on my own job a bit earlier than I had planned (I’d had enough!), and thankfully I missed the big changes that came in the office when the virus hit. A few of my colleagues who were still there told me that virtually everyone not in a physical occupation was put onto remote work (I would have been one of those working remotely), and that lasted for almost two years. Nothing was ever said about requiring employees to get the jabs. Pretty amazing considering that the company in question is a major California public utility.

    Incidentally, I worked under contract at various utilities on stints lasting anywhere from 1 to 3 years for over 15 years before taking a permanent job again toward the end of my career. It was a lot of moving around, and for the first 5 years I only saw my wife & daughter for a long weekend every 3 or 4 weeks. I understand why that wouldn’t be anyone’s first choice.

    Midwest Doctor’s first paragraph:

    One of the challenges I find with most forms of media is that the creators of it are continually seeking to manipulate you into adopting their position. For this reason, I greatly prefer written content as opposed to audio or visual content as it is much easier for me to rapidly filter out the manipulative rhetoric built into what I am reading. Similarly, this is why, to the best of my ability, I try to avoid inserting manipulative language into my writing (as best as I can I try to follow the Golden Rule and not to do things to other people I don’t like having done to me).

    I have stated exactlythis on this very forum at least once in the past. It is refreshing, and a bit vindicating, to see others organically arrive at this point of view. My wife can’t unsee it, now that I’ve clued her in, and she’s suddenly reading more books than ever!

    @V Arnold re: machinist

    In a healthy society, you’d be treated like royalty. Instead, you get your legs broke and get chained to your workstation. I have had a very good boss for 20+ years. However, even he has to ‘screw me over’ sometimes or he can’t stay in business. I’ve never been very connected to The System. I’m edging closer to cutting those last ties.

    Some hope – I’m seeing smart kids everywhere. They are grasping for knowledge, quite frustrated with the systemic blunting to which they’ve (we’ve all) been subjected. I think some things have been unleashed that don’t bode well for totalitarianism. It feels like a Fahrenheit 451 moment.

    Helmer:

    A new report by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) reveals that the Ukraine has become a thieves’ paradise in which corporate loan defaults are written off; embezzlement from banks is not traced; the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) no longer audits the country’s bank liabilities and reserves; and the IMF admits it cannot tell how much of the $35 billion in foreign cash grants and loans promised to Kiev has been disbursed, or to whom.

    “Disbursements of all committed funds over the remaining months of the year is urgently needed and will make a difference,” declares Kristalina Georgieva (lead image), the IMF Managing director since 2019, “especially in light of the recent horrific damage to energy infrastructure.” Georgieva was speaking in Berlin on October 25.

    … rest at:

    It gets worse.

    Another unrelated paper has pinpointed further spike-only damage — that is, harm to the body that comes from the spike protein specifically, not requiring the rest of virus. This one is very nasty, in that it implicates all of the jabs, including the non-replicating ones such as NovaVax, and the location of said potential damage is the brain.

    As with the heart, damage to the brain does not heal. Your brain can “rewire” around damaged areas in some cases but the damage itself is permanent.

    I’m a little embarrassed, but let me spell it out – I’m applying for virtual call center jobs.

    Job availability has NEVER been a factor in my job search. For all intents and purposes, there are infinite jobs. I can never get to the end of them.

    The bottleneck that limited me to 70+ thus far were the job listings themselves. Hundreds to thousands of corporatespeak gibberish words. An investigation to parse out the words, research the company, figure out 1. what does the company actually do 2. what do they want me to do for them. 3. what sentence-fragment contradictory to the searchable fields in the job listing shows it’s not a good fit? Where, with what phrasing, has a vax requirement been hidden? I don’t run at windmills, I toss all those aside.

    The listing typically takes you to a website where you need to rebuild your resume from scratch to fit the website form (they won’t take your pdf instead) questionnaires, multiple assessments, virtual recording-based interviews talking to a machine. There’s the cover letter to compose once you figure out who they are and what they want from you. All for a virtual (remote) call center job mind you!

    So to recap – infinite jobs, peon jobs, awesome resume FOR the peon position (and I AM a peon, so that makes sense…), patient and methodical with all the hoop-jumping, bottom feeding, infinite jobs.

    In the McCarthy era, there was blacklisting of celebrites. But they didn’t blacklist people loading packages into delivery trucks, people answering phones, people doing data entry, pet-manicurists, etc. I think it behooves everyone to keep in mind the combination of pettiness AND seriousness in play here.

    Get serious. Make sober, intelligent judgements on what would be pointless, stupid, petty, unreasonable, profitless to do that could nevertheless be done that may affect you. The underlying value system that might be bringing that on. Even if it FEELS as though it is unreal, like a tv show or sports event signifying nothing but eliciting strong emotions. Get serious.

    Consider this thought experiment. Drunk people don’t behave properly. However, if you ask a drunk what a reasonable sober person would do, they CAN tell you most of the time. Weird, right? I experimented with this myself back in college and found that, as an arbitrary act of will, I could do the reasonable thing if I modeled what a sober person WOULD do and was determined to do that.
    Interesting.

    Today, it is as if we are drunk. Whatever I see or think, I FEEL as though it is just another ’08. I FEEL it is as if I am evaluating a TV show or sports event I dislike. As ramped-up as my outrage might get over it, in some sense, I ask, am I actually taking this in as reality or a kind of dream parallel to reality, lining up with it but somehow not actually the thing itself? They can’t be serious. It would be petty, wasteful, counterproductive, pointless? Who the #$#& am I to bother over?

    So bring your emotional determination into the intellectual plane. If you’re drunk, what would a sober, wise person do? If you feel a sense of unreality and absurdity, but intellectually know, then what would a person who intellectually knew that did NOT feel a sense of unreality do? You can model that.

    So, just my own two cents and field report. Maybe I just suck at job searches. But I suspect there’s insight to be gained here, as to where we are really at right now.
