    As disingenuous as Professor Oster’s plea for amnesty was, I appreciate it for the resulting discussion making it clear that the national Covid dialogue is no longer dominated by “deflationista-ism”.

    Realized what the Amnesty article was: if your entire plan is to cause a civil war, war and strife by lies worldwide, this is a pH test strip to see how mad the minority is. Are they mad enough to kill the majority yet? And by attacking them, be wiped out? If not, how many more of their children do we have to kill before they are? What if we call them Rednecks, close their hospitals, and drop 30,000 deaths of Meth and Opiates on them?

    Again, you see there’s no Left or Right but Insiders and Outsiders: if we fight, they win.

    NASDAQ down to 10,000! Wait: isn’t that high? It was 1,800 in 2009. Not really: it was just 16,000 10 months ago. I’m sure the loss of another $30B in stock value won’t be a problem. Ask Credit Suisse and the SNB. No problem!

    10-year bounces off 4% on its rise higher to 6%. (or a meltdown; probably both)

    Yields obviously flip, but it’s not like anybody doesn’t know we’re in a recession.

    Euro bounces off $1 and down to past .95. It has been $1.60, so half off! Buy today!

    “UN Security Council Votes Down Probe into Biolabs in Ukraine”

    There’s 49 labs of unregistered biowarfare? We must never, never look.

    As said, “There’s no proof” of the “Unsubstantiated” “Allegations”. …Because we will never, never look.

    WEF #1. Banks of England, #2. Lords of England #3. People of England? Who?

    “San Francisco DA Won’t Release Police Bodycam Video, 911 Calls from Paul Pelosi Attack”

    Yeah if we did that an innocent gay guy who was being railroaded/assaulted by Paul Pelosi might go free. Can’t have that. Ask Fauci what to do with the gays. Ugh. Can we just stop and have the truth for a change? Wait, are conservatives allowed to support self defense for minorities? Yes, there is no other kind; we’re all a minority of one. Please be armed too. Against your government. Who is against transparency and honest justice everywhere.

    “Pfizer, Audi, Mondelez Join Growing List of Companies Pausing Ads on Twitter”

    This has nothing to do with Musk: they’re broke. Therefore we only circle money en familia, and do not lose money outward to non-familia groups.

    “Republicans and Democrats Agree to Not Claim Election Was Rigged If They Win” –BBee

    Glad we can all agree on something. Democrats now saying China, Iran AND Russia will all be choosing the 2022 election. …Which is why we must MUST not use photo ID and/or paper ballots.

    $2.5 Quadrillion Disaster Waiting to Happen – Egon von Greyerz (USAW)”

    What von Greyerz misses with the rest of us is that, the “Quadrillion”, that is, the MONEY system exists and depends on rules. But when you own the law and the army, there are no rules. Therefore there is no money system, it’s an “I do what I like” system. That’s why it hasn’t collapsed in the last 20-30 years. We say it depends on “Faith and Confidence” without fully realizing what that means. Bernays has allowed them to keep faith with double-speak that would tear your head off. With theft and poverty of you personally that a blind bat would notice. So whenever they have a problem it’s simple: add more violence, add more fascism. Add more lies and propaganda. Clearly the people love it more than life or love, more than logic and their own minds, so that is the “Disaster” that “Happens” and does not appear in the (non)”Money” system instead.

    My deadly lack of foresight was to never believe people would accept, tolerate, and love such hardship, murder, violence, and illogic, being unable to imagine or tolerate such things myself. On the contrary: they LOVE it. Love, love, love it, and worship anyone who gives it to them. Sacrificing me on behalf of proven psychopathic liars is but the work of an instant. No-choice, no-brainer.

    “• G7 to Set Fixed Price on Russian Oil (RT)”

    Cool story bro’. Except Saudi Arabia is off the ranch.

    “Russian MP Urges Doubling of Military Service Time (RT)”

    Authoritarian. They deal. Lira’s take – because Russia keeps sloppy records and doesn’t actually know how many guns, tanks, etc they have (possibly on purpose), is that he feels they’ve called up way more than 300,000. Maybe 500,000. Their people records are as sloppy as their equipment records, and who would be able to tell? I mean, can I count them?

    Sidebar: another story from all the griping videos of Russians being “conscripted” (actually re-activated, same as the U.S.) complaining about not having gear: one thing the West doesn’t see when forwarding those videos is them griping about the MISSION. That is, the necessity of fighting in Ukraine. I don’t know how you measure such a thing accurately, but that’s also my impression.

    “.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..”

    Look under Hunter and Pelosi’s bed. They’re broke and have to pay off their blackmail rackets.

    Speaking of the election and frauds therein, Biden is now stumping for SAFE Blue districts: it seems they’ve abandoned the swing areas and have retreated to the core. This Red tsunami where NH flips and they go 54 Senate can’t be effectively or plausibly stopped, that’s why they will shut off power and never finish counting.
    “Report: Water Pipes So Excited For Midterms They Could Just Burst!” –BBee
    Excellent excuse for the military to step in. Why? Because if it’s not totally new, historic, over-the-top, never-forget event, no one can point to it and say “never again”…one generation before starting all over again.

    “GOP Rep. Asks Musk about Twitter Censorship of Hunter Biden Laptop Story (ET)”

    Note purchase and events too late for the election. Because the real trouble comes after, when it’s not counted and decided for months or a year?

    “DOJ Mulls Special Counsel Investigation Should Trump Run Again (JTN)”

    They did this already. But because: Trump, everybody lost their minds and doesn’t remember. Bernays works like a charm and everyone begs for more.

    “ New York Judge Appoints Monitor to Oversee Trump Organization Dealings (JTN)”

    Yes, but the White Hats are going around Trump and decided that years ago. Trump is now kingmaker and they need to keep the idiots busy chasing their tails by waving the laser pointer around. …Literally. You remember that “Cat Pointer” press conference they had around the time of SharpieGate? Yeah, “Sharpiegate”; that doesn’t dilute the gravity of Watergate at all that we’re at the point where using a MAGIC MARKER is the same impeachable severity. “Trump: Impeached for using the Wrong Pen!” Never knew they were so serious about that #2 pencil. Ah Washington and Jefferson would be so proud of what we’ve become.

    Tulsi has said she has formally asked the WEF to remove her as she was never associated with them. They have not. That seems likely, but I have not looked into it fully. Similar with Putin. If you attend ANY meetings, they call you a member. If I visit an AA meeting, am I an alcoholic? You can’t trust anything said by known liars or narcissistic sociopaths. They are well-aware of saying things to play any side to advantage if it aggrandizes themselves. So between the two: known liar and unknown liar, you pick the known liar?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sputnik_V_COVID-19_vaccine

    Am I crazy here? What Pfizer or AstraZeneca? And Russia shut down antivaxxers? I disapprove, but it’s their country and Russians are in favor of authoritarianism in general. They have a word I forget at the moment, but Identical to monarchism. They need a guy at the top, and he does have too much power, so we complain, but the only thing worse in a country with 12 time zones is to NOT have too much power, squabble endlessly, and get nothing done. Whatever. The people’s attitude to that is “Meh, they say a lot of things, so if I don’t wanna, they’re too far away and can’t make me”, which is similar to the Yanks. Pressure relief valve is same model, different location.

    I thought the Russian Dating-for-heat site was hilarious. The commercial isn’t FOR you, in the West, or England. If they showed actual England, cold and wet, Russians would think it was summer and not perceive the cold without snow they don’t have.

    UTH, look at the recent movie “Tin Man”, which is today’s allegory of Oz. The backers clearly knew what the system is today and made today’s allegories in the same way. And it’s a good miniseries. Note as in the Original, what destroys the wicked witch, a cult ancient beyond knowing? Silver. In this case moon silver, not shoes. What does the silver destroy? Gold. But I specifically think of the punishment of Tin Man, the police, to have to watch his country be raped and killed over and over again for 100 years, while he can do nothing about it. It’s on Prime, and has their own version of Alan Greenspan!

    Jb-hb Corporations are incapable of thinking rationally at all, in any way right now, even to preserve themselves. I doubt it has to do with compliance. My guess is the Universe is trying to tell you something: now is not the time for “jobs”, as the entire economy is about to dissolve into a hustle. Without working banks, how can they cut a paycheck? Although you can get a job, might go to Taco Bell, then use your other hours to promote yourself and your own work privately.

    Other than that, you don’t need opportunities at 70 jobs: you only need but ONE job: the one right job for you. It seems that job isn’t the one you expected and were applying for so far.

    That last paragraph from CTH perfectly sums up what’s going on.

    “The World Economic Forum (WEF) was created to use the same fundamental associations of government and corporations. Only this time, it was the multinational corporations who organized to tell the government(s) what to do. The WEF was organized for multinational corporations to assemble and tell the various governments how to cooperate with them, in order to be rewarded by them. Corporatism was/is the outcome. The government is now doing what the multinationals tell them to do, and in return the multinationals install the compliant politicians.[..] What results is a slightly modified definition of fascism: “…A massive multinational corporate conglomerate; telling a centralized autocratic government leader what to do; and using severe economic and social regimentation as a control mechanism; combined with forcible suppression of opposition by both the corporations and government.”

    Here’s the Schwabster himself saying basically the same thing:

    “There is a clash between the state capital and the capital of interested parties. I believe that the future belongs to the capital of interested parties, not the state.”

    Arterial Shower of Blood Clots for “Neon Deion”

    When a blood clot lets loose on the arterial side of the circulation and lands in a vascular bed servicing an organ, a process called ischemia sets where the organ or a region of tissue is deprived of oxygen and vital nutrients. There is very little time before injury and then often permanent damage occurs. This is best exemplified by an embolic stroke.

    In top hospitals there are “stroke teams” that rush in and try to make decisions based on rapid tests and apply interventional procedures and or clot busting medications within minutes. The speed at which medical response teams act is similar to trauma surgery. Because the mRNA and adenoviral DNA COVID-19 vaccines install the genetic code for the coronavirus Spike protein, which causes blood clots, doctors are fielding a new variety of arterial embolic syndromes in addition to stroke.

    Ursula Von Der Leyen doesn’t exactly lie. She just fails to tell the truth about ‘our values’, that the values she and her gang thieves and liars are fighting to preserve and promote are: corruption, lies, subjugation, theft, murder with impunity, inequality, inequity, rigged ‘elections’ (or no elections at all), bureaucratic unaccountability, looting and polluting the commons, and monetistion of everything, all of it backed up by endless money-printing that devalues all the fiat currency in existence.

    Eugyppius and Head Girls. The 8th grade cool lunch table tyranny.

    “Alas, Emily Oster’s proposal that we just forget and forgive the pandemic insanity of the past few years has pleased no one. This is partly because her op-ed is tone deaf and stupid, of course, but it’s probably also down to Emily Oster herself, and a growing cultural exhaustion with the kind of person she represents. Oster is, in the terminology of Bruce Charlton, an almost archetypal Head Girl—the typical “all-rounder” who “performs extremely well in all school subjects” and “is excellent at sports,” while being “pretty, popular, sociable and well-behaved”:

    The Head Girl will probably be a big success in life, in whatever terms being a big success happens to be framed …. But the Head Girl is not, cannot be, a creative genius.

    Modern society is run by Head Girls, of both sexes … Modern colleges aim at recruiting Head Girls, so do universities, so does science, so do the arts, so does the mass media, so does the legal profession, so does medicine, so does the military…

    The Head Girl can never be a creative genius because she does what other people want by the standards they most value. She will worker harder and at a higher standard in doing whatever it is that social pressure tells her to do – and she will do this by whatever social standards prevail, only more thoroughly. …

    We live in a Head Girl’s world – which is also a world where creative genius is marginalized and disempowered to the point of near-complete invisibility.”

    I just tried to “recommend TAE and Of Two Minds on my Substack blog.
    Substack “can’t find” either of them. It’s a self-enclosed system.

    Questions from last night’s comments.
    “What is reality?”
    “Who can you trust these days?”
    Everybody is working on it here, but it doesn’t seem to translate well to others.
    Still … lots of trying.

    I like that “head girl” read on things. It looks like the reason why educated white women in America had the highest uptake of “COVID vaccines”.
    They were the target demographic for the campaign, because they are the “managers”.
    “Mean girls” sometimes, as we now know. Bad-Mommies when they are stressed-out …

    50% myocarditis on MRI in elite athletes … That is extremely important.
    Let’s look at testicles and ovaries now, can we?

    I know, it’s all good that our human numbers recede to that of a few centuries ago, and this is the only way we can cooperate. In the dark. It’s all quite well-meaning and “There Is No Alternative”.
    I have a vague, gnawing sense of dis-ease, though …

    The Head Girl can never be a creative genius because she does what other people want by the standards they most value.

    I went out with a head girl during the lower and upper sixth, she was only head girl during the upper, and my sister was head girl of her school the subsequent year. One thing they both had in common was that the teacher that managed their boarding school house absolutely loved them. The relationship had been built up over the junior, middle and then senior years. In both cases the teacher manager of the house put them forward for the position. One thing they both had in common was that they were both very popular with fellow pupils but, their loyalty was always to the teachers, not to the pupils, and the naughty pupils knew that and would avoid them. They could be friends with a fellow pupil and then be quite ruthless in turning them into staff when they did something wrong. On the other had, they could be very caring of their fellow pupils when someone was in need. Of course, throughout they were loyal to the staff, always very loyal to the staff and always very compliant, attending the religious events etc that happened in school.

    Hey Aspnaz, if your sister went to boarding school, are you also a boarding school survivor? I only managed one year myself (thank God!).

    This book by Nick Duffell is really interesting. Not everyone who goes to boarding school end up a sociopath, but far too many do, and then they become CEOs and politicians!

    Wounded Leaders: British Elitism and the Entitlement Illusion: A Psychohistory
    “Political leaders in Britain are consistently drawn from a class born to be educated away from their families in institutions – elite boarding schools. This has a direct effect on their ability to love, to relate, to make good judgments and to develop the necessary leadership qualities for today’s world.
    In this controversial and highly acclaimed book, the author guides the reader along the elite path through boarding school and Oxbridge to government, unpacking what he calls the Entitlement Illusion.
    Central to the illusion is a uniquely British phenomenon, an industrialised process for turning out servants of the Empire that has been unwilling to change with the times. It was deified in the Victorian Rational Man Project and normalised by the British public, who still buy into the trance. Up to date evidence from neuroscience shows what a poor training for leadership this actually is. “

    Multinational Advertisers Begin Pulling Out of Twitter (CTH)

    I am reminded of a victorian-era mystery I read long ago. One with the typical drawing-room denouement at the end.

    With all the suspects present, the hero runs through all the clues, solves the mystery by thinking out loud, as they would in a Dorothy Sayers or Agatha Christie book… only to come to a startling conclusion. EVERYONE ELSE in the room was in on the murder. As he reaches the correct conclusion, they all rise up and kill him together.

    It’s amazing to see, openly, how many corporations don’t exist anymore for their ostensible purpose – soap, toilet paper, cars, whatever. This is a declaration that the exist first as political entities. Or they collectively exist as A political entity, perhaps.

    They’d rather pull ads than tolerate free speech?

    Their openly stated prioritization is that they would rather disenfranchise you than sell to you.

(With Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State overseeing the efforts of USAID, the Clintons’ importance to the recovery could not be overstated; Bill’s appointment meant that “at every stage of Haiti’s reconstruction—fundraising, oversight and allocation—a Clinton was now involved.”

    “Head Girl” is the perfect name for her because she does not use her head (mind, intellect) to counter-balance the overactive feeling and doing aspects of her personality.

    Corporate America (in the late 80’s) used to love her as she would produce stellar results (perform above all expectations), build inspired/winning teams, recruit good people, and consistently beat quotas and other milestones. She was a champion of her ideas because seeing/knowing/feeling the future were available to her and implementing plans was her strength – she always new the best way forward! High standards and expectations (for her to meet/exceed) were the wind beneath her wings (hahaha).

    The rift arose when she wanted access to the C-suite during the TQM and leveraged buyout days. TQM had potential for positive change but the C-suite’s heart was never truly in it. The LBO’ s – the destruction of productivity, the waste and insanity of it all was too much. This Head Girl could not keep her mouth shut. In the end, she just had to let it go – the first of many wake-up calls. More importantly, the blossoming entrepreneurial world was calling.

    The very few who stayed in Corporate America sacrificed their values and voices to stay, many of them remained in key support positions. I am certain that PC’s and even “causal Friday” killed a key aspect of the way we worked and opened new doors; eventually working outside the office became a thing. But like everything else, Corporations only did what was best for themselves even tho it might have looked like “liberty” from an employees perspective.

    Head Girl’s power today is due to social media and the tools that give her a voice. Thank you Mr. House for the additional articles arising from the Amnesty ashes. This is getting interesting. May the momentum continue!

Without working banks, how can they cut a paycheck? Although you can get a job, might go to Taco Bell, then use your other hours to promote yourself and your own work privately.

    That is kind of my thinking – that we are headed towards a stage at which “work” at a “job” could be headed for a wall that will convert it into squandered time. Earn some money so it can go poof in inflation or a bail-in?

    Say you’re a guy with a lifelong furniture-making hobby. If you spend your time on making furniture in your garage and the currency collapses or your bank account disappears, the furniture will at least still be furniture.

    I post these musings for anyone in a similar situation. IF I get a job, my priority is to make it permanent, not temp working, and remote.

    Permanent because bureaucracies like to establish “gating” rules. You remain grandfathered into your old cellphone plan UNTIL you switch to a new phone, then their system forces you to change plans to change devices. It’s the same logic everywhere. If you are constantly passing through gates, you will hit the “update” rather soon. If you pass through a gate and then sit there, entrenched, you may very well still be subjected to capricious bureaucratic rules, but you avoid the gating feature.

    Remote because it has become clear, jobs are now something to hold over one’s head. I’m not going to have a job take up all my time AND pin me down to one location. If I need to GTFO I don’t need “but then you’d lose that JOB” And I’m not keen to be physically present for any HR related “trainings.” I had 3 remote “trainings” with a live Ibrihim X Kendri in 2020 and the one blessing was that I could keep my camera off, mic muted, and give no traction to anyone for imagined attitudes, reactions etc. A corporate job with a physical office is a permanent continual liability.

    Anyway, yes, I do have my own work I’m doing while I apply for 5-10 or so jobs a week. I’d recommend anyone in a similar situation do some kind of work of their own and not simply hold their breath while job searching. Particularly, think of work you can do that is still worth something (that cannot be retroactively wiped out) even if something significant happens to the currency, the banking system, etc. And that could even be just higher inflation.

    But it just seems strange, spooky. An ocean of job listings, new ones continually coming out, more than I can keep up with. You might think OLD jobs might be left posted by lazy hiring managers and perhaps the economic environment is changing, so they just really aren’t looking for workers anymore? …but no, I am always filtering my search for jobs posted in the past 2 weeks or less. I find more acceptable jobs posted SAME DAY than I apply for.

    So we have a “worker shortage.” I can see things public and private are visibly not getting done when I am out and about in my area. (Trees in the park that fell in a storm in May still lie there in October for instance. Businesses do not pick up the trash on their property. etc) Seemingly infinite job postings, even for remote work. Did we run out of people? Or are we not using the people we have? Did we run out of jobs and the postings are fake? Are winners and losers being chosen and if this results in things not getting done, so be it?

    But whatever is going on, MAYBE I’m being done a kind of favor. I keep grinding away at my own thing while they don’t reply to me.

    One might see the Paypal $2,500 fine for “misinformation” as a way to capture, in the same way that a corporate employer does, people with a “hustle.” Much like Patreon, a convenient payment processor to connect fans direclty to artists, decided they were going to be the artists’ feudal overlords instead. Folks, whatever hustle you do, ensuring diversification of options and resiliency is going to be a constant job. Think of what a stupid asshole would do and be prepared for that.

    re: Germ’s spike-only damage article from yesterday.

    I didn’t bother much about the injection until my employer started making noises about requirements.

    At that point, I DID look into it and my mind was blown. The dangerous thing about Covid was supposed to be the spike protein. And they’re telling me they will inject me with RNA that will cause my body to manufacture that SAME spike protein in larger volumes than the virus would?

    I imagined the following conversation:

    Hi. We’re here from the government. We’ve been having a real problem with people getting burned lately, so we want you to take this govt-issued can of gasoline, pour it on yourself, and light yourself on fire.

    Oh, so this is like a different, special kind of safe fire?

    No.

    So… I’ll be more resistant to fire afterwards?

    No.

    Wait, what’s the difference between getting burnt in an accidental fire vs this fire you want me to set on myself?

    THIS fire has our blessing.

    I know the whacko neo-marxist deconstructionists insist that there is no such thing as a reasonable person, that there is no such thing as common sense, and that words only mean things in terms of other words, but still, for even any 80 IQ person, shouldn’t common sense have made anyone laugh at this proposed solution?

    Set yourself on fire, because we are seeing people getting burned? Flood yourself with spike protein because people are getting hurt by spike protein? It doesn’t even take research, education, intelligence, or anything else to have a common-sense reaction.

    The world (and especially the Western World) is caught in a Monkey Trap. You know what a monkey trap is, right? It’s a hole through which a monkey can just barely squeeze its empty hand to grasp bait inside the trap, but which is too small to let the monkey withdraw its fist clutching the bait. The monkey can’t bring itself to releasing the bait from its grip, and thus cannot get its hand out of the hole, and is thus trapped.

    The bait for us is money (and especially the Yankee dollar). We could free ourselves in an instant by letting go of the money which the elites (who have by far and away most of the money) use to hire as many “dirty-deeds-done-dirt-cheap” as they need or want to keep their boot on our neck . . . or even kill us if they feel like it.

    It’s the money, folks. Plain and simple and ain’t NOBODY gonna let go of their “money” until that money (especially the Yankee dollar) is so fuckin’ worthless that not even the dumbest monkey would want it.

    Oh, the irony! We’re gonna go free in the same moment that we go broke.

    Say, here’s an idea ! Swap your dollars for something (ANYTHING) of real value, and then avoid dollars as though your life depended on it.

    Because it does.

    Thanks for that link, MPSK:
    “Tulsi Gabbard was sent an email in 2015 saying she had been chosen as a Young Global Leader and she sent them a tweet saying she was honored. She never had anything to do with them before or since. But they also posted a picture of her on their website as advertising for their yearly shindig at Davos. The same thing happened to Dan Crenshaw. He never had anything to do with them but they posted a picture of him on their website because at the time he was a hot news topic. So it appears that the purpose of the YGL is to draw more rich people to their shindig by advertising that the rich can meet famous young people in the news. Some chosen as YGL go to Davos and mingle and give talks, others don’t.”

    https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/head-girl-corporatism

    ​ Thanks Dr.D. Eugyppius has this insight.​
    Order is imposed in the corporate and government world of bureaucracies by the keepers of order and unifiers of consensus, middle and upper managers of the “head-girl” archetype. Employees are selected and promoted for these personality characteristics of general competence, reasonableness and group-leadership. Originality of thought and independent problem-solving are not desired in hierarchical bureaucracies (or in Medicine these days, as I’ll attest).
    Once More on Renowned Fool Emily Oster, and the Malign Influence of Head Girls More Generally

    ​ Worried that the business won’t be adequately managed by head-girl-squads. Musk assures that it will. Fascism was “stern fathers” last time around.
    ​Multinational Advertisers Begin Pulling Out of Twitter​
    Fascism was traditionally defined as an authoritarian government working hand-in-glove with corporations to achieve objectives. A centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, using severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.
    That system of government didn’t work in the long-term, because the underlying principles of free people reject government authoritarianism. Fascist governments collapsed, and the corporate beneficiaries were nulled and scorned for participating. Then, along came a new approach to achieve the same objective.
    The World Economic Forum (WEF) was created to use the same fundamental associations of government and corporations. Only this time, it was the multinational corporations who organized to tell the government(s) what to do.
    The WEF was organized for multinational corporations to assemble and tell the various governments how to cooperate with them, in order to be rewarded by them. Corporatism was/is the outcome.

    Professor Jeffrey Sachs has long been a neoliberal poster-child (head-girl) for doing-well-by-doing-good. He has recently burned some bridges in the left-liberal camp of American politics, taking a rationalist approach.
    President Joe Biden is undermining his party’s congressional prospects through a deeply flawed foreign policy.
    Biden believes that America’s global reputation is at stake in the Ukraine War and has consistently rejected a diplomatic off-ramp. The Ukraine War, combined with the administration’s disruptions of economic relations with China, is aggravating the stagflation that will likely deliver one or both houses of Congress to the Republicans.
    Far worse, Biden’s dismissal of diplomacy prolongs the destruction of Ukraine and threatens nuclear war. Biden believes that American credibility depends on NATO expanding to Ukraine, and if necessary, defeating Russia in the Ukraine war to accomplish that. Biden has repeatedly refused to engage in diplomacy with Russia on the NATO enlargement issue.
    This has been a grave mistake. It stoked a proxy war between the U.S. and Russia in which Ukraine is being devastated, ironically in the name of saving Ukraine

    ​Moscow says it has firm evidence that Britain’s military assisted with last weekend’s large-scale drone attack on its Black Sea fleet off Crimea.
    Russia said it plans to summon the British ambassador “in the near future” in order to present “evidence” the UK was behind the operation, which had threatened to collapse the UN-brokered Ukrainian grain export deal.
    While Russia has on Wednesday announced it is re-entering the grain deal after receiving “guarantees” from Ukraine and Turkey, it is still pointing the finger at London for sending “specialists” to help Kiev forces launch Saturday’s drone attack…
    ..It should be noted that Russia has also of late accused British special operatives of helping to plan the September sabotage attack on the Nord Stream gas pipelines under the Baltic. The US has rejected these charges as “false claims on an epic scale.”

    ​ ​NATO escalates (again) and achieves nothing (again)
    But the demonic freaks who run the Hegemony are not demonic freaks for no good reasons. These are the folks who brought us 9/11, the WMD crap and the GWOT! These are the folks who destroyed country after country with truly satanic viciousness.
    These are the folks who ruined and laid waste to every single country they could take control off, the latest being, of course, the Ukraine itself.
    We are dealing with psychopaths who will do absolutely *anything* to stay in power, both on the planetary scale (the Hegemony) or in Washington DC (see video at the bottom of this article)
    Finally, and truth be told, everybody knows. It does not take Liz Truss’ message to Blinken to know who is behind all these attacks and the “plausible deniability” criterion as been made so thin as to become irrelevant. Here are just three examples illustrating this: (there are many more!)
    Russian got the GPS tracking data from the drones which attacked the BSF
    The very visible and obvious Global Hawk monitoring flights over the Black Sea during that latest attack
    US AWACS flights in Romanian airspace during the latest attack
    There are dozens of statements by top Russian officials which clearly indicate that they are all acutely aware of all this. So far, we can make at least three potentially interesting observations:
    Russia is mostly pointing the finger at the UK (and not necessarily because the UK is the #1 evil doer here, but primarily because it is the weakest link in the US-UK-3B+PU “coalition of the willing”, militarily, politically and economically).
    Russia now has enough in theater forces for a combined arms operation.
    Russia is keeping most of her armed forces in a state of high readiness, including all her strategic forces (nuclear and conventional).

    Property rights exist only as they are enforced in the world. $300 billion of Russian-State property was confiscated by the west earlier this year, without any apparent legal process. After recent attacks upon the Crimean Kerch-strait Bridge and upon Russian ships assuring safe-passage, fee of mines, to the grain convoy, Russia nationalizes certain large enterprises in Crimea, “owned” by Ukrainian oligarchs. In times of global conflict, especially a conflict of global-trading rivals, we can expect that owners on the losing-side will be dispossessed in favor of allies of the prevailing side.
    If the BRICS trade regime becomes a full rival to the western $US arrangements, then countries can be expected to default upon $US debts, and to nationalize foreign held assets, like oil-wells and mines.

    ​Charles Hugh Smith: ​
    ​ ​The era of all-powerful central banks is over for a simple reason: they failed: they failed their citizens, their nations, and they failed the world. Their policies have pushed wealth and income inequality to extremes that have destabilized the planet’s social, political, economic and environmental spheres.
    ​ ​As I have endeavored to explain for many years, this is the only possible outcome of central bank dominance. Once Finance becomes the primary mover of everything else, then it distorts everything into a skimming machine that benefits the few with access to central bank funding at the expense of everyone else.​..
    ​..Central bank gaming of Finance is the source of instability. Reining in central banks’ free money for financiers and cronies is the necessary first step to unseating Finance as the dominant force in markets, governance and the planetary skimming machine Finance has created.
    ​ ​Either power is taken from central banks or the vast inequality that is the result of central bank dominance will unravel the entire system. Take your pick, but the distortions are accelerating, and time is running short.’

    (Recently CIA deposed) former Pakistani PM, Imran Khan was shot today at a rally in a failed assassination attempt. He is undergoing surgery for a foot injury. One associate was killed, others wounded, and the gunman was caught and disarmed by those attending the rally. He has confessed and said that he acted alone.
    The rally was in support of early elections. Khan is very popular, including with the Pakistani armed forces. He is expected to be re-elected.
    Khan, a former professional cricket star, is a populist nationalist, not a friend-of-empire.

    ​ Australian raw data, when analyzed, reveals that COVID-vaccination more than triples an Aussie’s risk of catching COVID these days.
    ​ ​From these figures you can see that the total infected population where the vaccine status was known (and eligible) was 267,381+2578+3552 = 273,511. This gives an unvaccinated or 1-dose rate of 2.2%. At the same time the (presumably 2+ dose) vaccination rate of 12+ years (i.e. the same group) was 91.5%.
    If we plug that into our formula above we get a negative vaccine efficacy of 313%:​.

    ​ The analysis showed that mRNA vaccines were associated with 1 additional serious adverse event for every 800 people vaccinated. This would normally have a vaccine taken off the market, and is in sharp contrast to the idea that serious adverse events are extremely rare as federal health regulatory agencies have commonly claimed with regards to COVID-19 vaccines. The authors also found that the trial data showed that the increase in serious adverse events following mRNA vaccination surpassed the reduction in risk of ending up hospitalized with COVID-19.
