    Okay so don’t jump on me for calling this one out a bit. I’m not in anyway suggesting that things weren’t/aren’t dangerous in theses storms. I’ve been looking for and unable to find any winds at the surface that are cat 3 intensity.
    From wiki: “To be classified as a hurricane, a tropical cyclone must have one-minute-average maximum sustained winds at 10 m (33 ft) above the surface of at least 74 mph (64 kn, 119 km/h; Category 1).[1] The highest classification in the scale, Category 5, consists of storms with sustained winds of at least 157 mph (137 kn, 252 km/h). The classifications can provide some indication of the potential damage and flooding a hurricane will cause upon landfall.”
    There used to be transponder info from the planes that fly through these things. I don’t see that anymore, even on Levi’s Tropical Tidbits. Where did they go? Searching the wind speeds at ground level I can’t find anything above cat 1. These wind speeds that are being publicized are well above 3 meters. I also see in this mornings live news coverage a much lower surge height. As I alluded too yesterday in order to get these surge heights you need these high wind speeds to be close enough to the ground to build up the sea levels. The surge is more in line with cat 1 style and this has the reporters seemingly baffled. There seems to be more flooding from the intense rain fall. The severe wind damage that I’ve so far been able to find is from the tornados that the storm touched off. Fear porn, fear sells and helps to keep everyone off guard, or should I say on guard for the wrong things. Squirrel gotta go!

    Red we both know the most damnable lies is a half truth. I completely accept that all televised media is to some extent fear mongering. I apologize to you personally if what i wrote yesterday was taken as an attack.

    Knowing you are being told a half truth requires one to be more diligent not less. When a large population lives in an area that is one to seven feet above sea level every large tropical depression needs to be taken seriously. Selling bullshit to sell bullshit is the media model. A person who lives in the midwest or in Canada can easily discard the fear porn. A person who lives on the coast of Florida would be injudicious to discard every broadcast off hand as fear porn.

    Skin in the game. How has this storm affected you?

    “Austria Faces Political Deadlock As Federal President Resists Giving Victorious FPÖ A Mandate To Form A Government

    Winning = Losing. Backsies! Now we need to vote again and keep voting until you get you get it right. …That is, until I win, then we stop voting. Right?

    “America’s Homeless Population Reaches Record High Under Biden-Harris Admin

    It’s almost as if someone is coming in and taking all the housing, staying in all the 5-star hotels n stuff.

    “Asked by the show host about which country is America’s “greatest adversary,” [Kamala] responded, “I think there’s an obvious one in mind which is Iran. Iran has American blood on their hands.”

    What American blood? Nothing even comes to mind. Like, what? When? Who? They probably killed fewer people all year than Kamala killed last week in Tennessee. As the article says, she’s now channeling her inner Cheney.

    60 Minutes: Why not? One edit is good as another, right? This is discussed in Newsrooms all the time, or was a generation ago. That goes to: if you have evil intent, no rule is going to work.

    Note this Meme is legal in California, since it doesn’t use AI to deceive.

    “Megyn Kelly: “Here is what actually happened”

    Yes, but nobody cares. They only care if it affects them. It finally has cut through layers of PMC insulation, making them feel teeny-bit-less-safe in their districts, gated communities, and islands, so now it matters. Until then, every American coast to coast could drop dead and they’d not only be happy, they’d consider it a moral good.

    “The media doesn’t want you to see 275 linemen being housed for free by President Trump”

    Remember the scandal? So he can do this as a private citizen, but it was illegal as President?

    “the “shrinking trust horizon” was first defined by Nicole Foss right here at TAE at least ten years ago.”

    Yes and in those exact terms.

    This was my core misunderstanding. Not that banks wouldn’t steal, governments wouldn’t bail, the problem was that the PUBLIC would go “Hey, this is bulls—t”, and respond. But they’re all on Zoloft and microdropping acid, so no. 20 years later, adding 20 more years of non-stop frauds and oppressions, raw open fascism, World War Three, no drop in the Trust Horizon at all, or not that matters, like sell their Tesla and buy gold. They still get up every day and pretend to believe everything. WE are the ones who stop it. Like the gated PMCs, they’re insulated, their card works, so why worry?

    So considering this was well known 20 years ago, was already discussed as imminent or past tense 10 years ago, that timing this is going to be somewhat…challenging. Human capacity for denial is infinite until the Repo man comes. So like how all markets “Live in accounts” (duh) then “All things will crash”…goldbugs have been saying that since 1971, 1979, 1985, 1994, 1999, 2001, 2008, 2020, and everyone who said it died of extreme old age while nothing happened. So be careful. And explain.

    Her response is always either laugh inanely, talk about her mother, or blame Trump.”

    Ackshully…that sounds like every AWFL PMC I know. VP of sales, Window Teller at the DMV, every one of them. Why didn’t you tell me I needed to get Form 811.b LAST time before I stood in this line again? Laugh inanely/ it’s your mother/ Trump’s fault. Yup. And why? Because it works. If you say these magic words you don’t need to assemble Boeing MAX correctly, they’ll let you go. I’d use them too! (Except that I’m a man and we constitutionally are incapable of behaving that way. But I would WANT to. Really hard!)

    “• US in Dangerous Hiatus Amid Biden’s Lame Duck Period – Jeffrey Sachs (Sp.)

    You mean the Biden since 1990?

    ““I hope for rationality by the next government, because we need a completely new foreign policy,”

    Apparently Sachs is a slow learner and needs to die to make room for someone who pays attention. “Next” government? There is no Next government, there is only the UniGovernment, the eternal bureaucracy, WE JUST SAW that the President can do nothing, enact nothing, no one will obey ANY orders, and he can’t fire them. That was YEARS ago, maybe as far back as 1959 when Ike told you? Then we got a nifty public display soon after?

    Not only IS there no “rational government” IT’S IMPOSSIBLE FOR THERE TO BE ONE. How many would you have to fire? 90%? Since when this happened, they all agreed and played along.

    “Netanyahu is not Israel.”

    Great but terribly long interview with Nostradamus expert Hogue https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DI8QlJMKpIc asks a far more interesting question: since Israel as a Nazi apartheid state is about to cease to exist, what happens next? That geographic location will still exist and be governed by someone. (Note of course that my saying that means I’m pro-Israel, right boys? You will now forget I ever said that…and have said that again every week for years, Three…two…one…Poof, I never said it! Because hate! How will I hate if I don’t make things up about other people and my allies? Hate: Feels. Just. So. Good!!!)

    Of course it’s really hard to just…imagine, on a blank sheet of paper what happens next to the Levant. Why don’t we start with some fundamentals then? They are Semitic peoples. Wait: the Palestinians are Semitic peoples, and a very few of the Jews are, but most of the People, and their government, are actually Khazarian, that is Eastern European whites with no Semitic blood or…so it might seem, claim. Why?

    What was the Claim, the whole religious premise for the nation, since Balfour and before? That the “Seed of Abraham” would be as many as the stars and occupy, own this specific geographical location he prayer-walked. Right? Okay, two problems: One: THEY’RE NOT THE SEED OF ABRAHAM. They are the Name-stealers. PRETENDING to be so, wearing the Jews like a skin-suit, to be discarded like a lizard tail, all killed if things go bad. How exactly is Kazakhstan the same as Israel? So wouldn’t the Seed of Abraham and the promise go to Semitic People instead? Who are they?

    Problem two: They are. Let’s just presume you can say such a thing, God can do such a thing, make such an eternal promise, and it matters. I don’t have a witness and notary to that contract so it seems fishy to me, but fine, that’s the basis of the state right? Its founding myth? The Promise was to the Seed of Abraham. Great. Sold!

    …Abraham had TWO sons you dips—ts, Issac (Israel) AND Ishmael. Two. WHY is the promise only relevant for one son and not the other? Okay, now you’re adding that the Seed of Abraham has claim to the land, but ONLY THROUGH SARAH? Where’s that in the Torah? Sara defied God and the angels and collapsed her faith, WHY should Issac be the primary son? If anything, he was second-born AND born out of Sarah’s faithlessness. Certainly the MUSLIM line feels Ishmael is the primary son. Okay, why not BOTH? Call a truce you ninnys, like Jacob and Esau. You’re BOTH the seed of Abraham.

    See the problem? Okay, ALL of Israel was settled improperly, against God’s every law, in so many ways. Thou Shalt not Steal. Thou Shalt not Murder. But it wasn’t the Khazars, since they’re not God’s people by blood in the first place. They’re blood-impostors. Same discussion was had with Paul and the early church: don’t you have to be Jewish in line and circumcised, etc? I think these are dumb arguments, just saying they’re legal, and they’ve been going on for 2000 years and more. They’re not MY arguments: I don’t believe them. THEY do. So follow your own rules, myths, and beliefs.

    What does that tell you about what happens next for Israel? Well, they did bad behavior, that means to God they cannot inherit, and need to atone and make amends. What’s more, we have the equal ownership of ALL Semitic peoples, but possibly NOT outsiders and colonists from NE Europe. So does a “One-State” solution sound more possible now? When Israel ceases to exist, why SHOULDN’T the Semitic brothers take it and live there equally, now that they’re both free from colonist impostors from Europe?

    Yeah, everything would be different, but what KIND of different? As they are now, they’re not going to fit into becoming Turkey, Ottoman again. Not run by Jordan, etc. So it makes cultural sense they would remain their own place and nation. But a nation that rejects the sin they’ve been doing and therefore merges together into one, all having been brought low, and so be aligned together. No criminal leaders from above, just this dusty farm and our work. You and me, Right?

    Repeat: ““Netanyahu is not Israel.” And he’s POLISH. NE European. Not Semitic a bit. Run a DNA test and show.

    For the article, how does that work? You dummies, it’s not 1979, America ain’t doin’ s—t. We can’t. Trump can promise anything he wants since we have no capacity to make anything happen. When this collapses, he’ll have to say “Aw shucks, pal, we’re kind busy over here at home with a US$ at 30c, and no military/manufacturing base. Guess we can’t make you any dem Patriot missiles, durn it.”

    …Or is your thesis that the U.S. right now IS and CAN do this, and ALSO that no collapse or change will happen? Not even when the US$ tanks? Americans won’t stop money flooding to Ukraine and Aviv when they’re dying like rats at home AND the Federales got no money to keep us down no mo’?

    Use your head.

    The whole country is recognizing and is aligned or turning against the Vichy Occupation, colonization. Sending troops to Iran is like boarding U.S. ships and conscripting the men for the King’s Navy; (1780-1812) you might get away with it for a while, but not all that long. In this case, every ship would ALSO be sunk, so it won’t matter.

    ““If, as I believe, the US is defeated, NATO will disintegrate and Europe will be left free..”

    Huh, wrapping my mind around that statement. Well, if you think Europe is occupied by their own AntiDemocratic Vichy Occupation, then yes. But those people are clearly in the WEF and EU Commission with Der Lyin’. Der Lyin’ is by definition not elected, she is appointed. Against the will of every European.

    “• Refusal to Buy Russian Energy Endangers EU’s Economic Growth – Orban (Sp.)

    Yes, but they didn’t refuse: they’ve been buying more than ever, just lying about it, so it’s all okay then. You see, it’s not okay to cheat on my wife, but if I LIE about it and deny it, then it’s all fine.

    BTW if they’re going to do something: crash the market, collapse Ukraine, Nuke or scare the pants off the West, THEY’RE ALREADY VOTING. I mean, the election isn’t next week, thanks to “Election year” the election is ALREADY HAPPENING. Now obviously, most of the votes come in election night, but note this. I feel like the posture is: what WILL happen, out there in the…what? Election is tomorrow, kids. No time for nothin’

    “• Russia Could Seek War Reparations From Ukraine (RT)

    This is actually true. It’s never mentioned but all Eastern Europe was paying reparations to Russia under the Iron Curtain for decades. I think some still are. It’s never said, because, like Russia fighting almost the whole, and winning the war, with one pimple of Brits on the side, it would express and support that Russia was the victim of WWII, they were the ones attacked and suffered. They were the ones who won. So it can’t be mentioned in Cold War Europe where we’re trying to wrest the Eastern Bloc away that Romania, Poland are paying very fair, legal, and large reparations for what they did to Moscow.

    Now consider the article in that context. Yes, Russia can get reparations and probably will.

    “• US Global Economic Share Dips Below 15% For First Time (Sp.)

    Are you kidding? 2/3 of our GDP is bond-kiting.

    “• US Spending on Mideast Conflict Tops $22 Billion in One Year (Sp.)

    Yes but we’re always arming both sides, so it’s fair and logical. Saddam, with our chemical weapons, was fighting Iran, with our F16s. We then armed Kuwait who fought both.

    “• Israel Seeks To Fix 2006 Failures, While Hezbollah Lies In Wait (Mehdi)

    Not sure how they do it or why, but Lebanon always destroys Israel. Every time they try. Don’t mess with the Lebanese, they are very serious people.

    “• Israel’s Collective Punishment Turns the World Against It (DeMartino)

    Great! Glad we’ve gotten to this point and discussion. So we can’t collectively punish people for actions? Like we don’t punish Jews living in Spain for the actions of an elected leader 500 miles away? Sold. Oh wait: we LIKE collective punishment now and it’s a GOOD thing? Make up your mind. If you collective punishment, then Israel can too, right?

    “• Iran ‘Fully Prepared’ For War – FM (RT)

    How does Iran fit into the future and the Cousin-Brother settlement that will eventually happen in Israel? Note, the eschatology of these stories and religions perfectly allows that THIS is not the WWIII, the End Times, the Armageddon. They could perfectly come to peace and do that 100 years from now. In fact, the prophesy is “there will be no walls, it will all be in peace” when that happens.

    “• US Antitrust Officials Consider Google Breakup As ‘Trustbusting Era’ May Return

    Google’s going to sue themselves? They are the fully-merged government.

    “Crypto.com to sue the SEC came after it received a so-called Wells Notice from the regulator, “

    They’re the government, they harass everybody they can to get bribes. It’s called “Extortion” and is a feature of mafias.

    “50%….a totally deficient immune system,”

    Show me. You’ve been saying it, but I don’t see it. Don’t be as fact-free as the other side.

    “Eva Vlaardingerbroek”

    Why do they hate native peoples so much? Why do they hate strong women?

    “Where were you?”

    Same as MLK: only love him when he’s dead. Before then he was an a-hole, a minute later he’s a Saint! Magic! After we’ve stolen all the stuff, suddenly we’re just chock full of caring! Of course the ad doesn’t point out that they’ll all be shot if they get mouthy. Ask NC what happens. Ask the other 49 states about Fentanyl if they vote wrong. That doesn’t let you off the hook, but it DOES mean you can tell your kids, “Hey bucko, if I’d been making a mess like Assange was, you wouldn’t be here: we’d all be dead. I’d be murdered in 100 days.”

    Is this a joke? We all just have the Feelz and no strategy? Never actually lifted a finger so we’d find out? Wow, you really ARE removed from reality! Must be nice.

    TBOC no offence taken mate. I’m merely saying that the criteria for classifying a storm at certain categories isn’t being adhered too. The wind speeds for a cat 3 are between 178mph and 208mph sustained for one minute at 30 feet above sea level. It wasn’t a half truth it was a total lie. At no time in the two days before land fall and right up to and including at landfall it never achieved the necessary criteria to call it anything other than a cat1. The press gets its info from the government environment department. How are they calculating this now as compared to yesteryear?

    Moscow has described the last point as direct participation of the US and its allies in the conflict, which would require an adequate response. Russia has since updated its nuclear doctrine accordingly.

    Further to the psychopathic ravings of Matthew Brodsky yesterday, it appears that the IDF have decided to follow his advice and open fire on UN Peacekeepers in Lebanon. It would appear that Netanyahoo has resolved to double-down on his mission to make Israel even more of a global pariah state than it already is. When peacekeepers from Ireland etc. start coming home in bodybags things might get a little ugly.

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/10/10/israel-iran-war-hezbollah-lebanon-latest-news1/

    Two United Nations peacekeepers were wounded on Thursday morning when an Israeli tank fired toward an observation tower at their headquarters in Naqoura, reports Ben Farmer from Beirut.

    “The injuries are fortunately, this time, not serious, but they remain in hospital,” a source told the Telegraph.

    The attack has caused diplomatic consternation, with Italy, which leads the UN mission, summoning the Israeli ambassador on Thursday afternoon while Ireland has called the incident ‘intolerable.’

    Israeli soldiers also fired on a UN position in Ras Naqoura, the source said, “hitting the entrance to the bunker where peacekeepers were sheltering, and damaging vehicles and a communications system”.

    The source said the headquarters of the peacekeeping mission, called UNIFIL, and nearby positions have been “repeatedly hit”.

    In a later statement, the UN accused Israel of deliberately firing at security cameras on the perimeter of one of its positions.

    The United Nations has around 10,000 troops in the country from 50 nations, including several hundred soldiers from Ireland, as they monitor the ‘Blue Line’ between Lebanon and Israel.

    ​Ugo Bardi, The Age Of Exterminations (II) — How to Exterminate the Young
    ​ The power of propaganda is immense. It is so strong especially because people don’t realize that they are embedded in it and the things that propaganda makes them do look like the most natural and obvious ones. It was Baudelaire who said, “the devil’s best trick is to convince people that he does not exist.”
    ​ So, here is a story of a triumph of propaganda: how it convinced most Italians in 1914-15 that it was a good idea to go to war against their neighbors, the Austrians in one of the greatest follies of history, what our ancestors called, rightly, “The Great War.”
    ​ It all started when, in July 1914, a Serbian madman shot an Austrian Archduke. That caused the Great Powers of the time to attack each other in a sort of large-scale domino game. Austria attacked Serbia, Germany attacked France, Russia attacked Austria, and more.
    ​ And Italy? It is a story poorly known outside Italy, but interesting for many reasons. Italy at that time was a nation of peasants, its economy was weak, and its military power limited. Sometimes, it was called the “proletarian nation,” in contrast with the Northern “plutocracies,” Britain and others. Italy was poor, but secure inside its borders: protected by the sea and by the Alps. No need to go to war against anyone.​ https://www.senecaeffect.com/2021/09/the-age-of-exterminations-ii-how-to.html

    ​ John Helmer on Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov’s recent clarification:
    ​ The Russian history of end-of-war negotiations for the capitulation of Germany and for the World War II peace settlement requires it to be understood now: it was the Red Army’s defeat of the enemy on the battlefield all the way to Berlin which preceded and which was the precondition for the paper promises and pacts offered to Moscow by those allies whom Joseph Stalin understood to be permanent enemies of Russia — the United States, United Kingdom, and France.
    ​ Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has just spelled this out in an especially timed essay published on October 2.
    ​Those lessons are being repeated now because they apply with equal force to the end-of-war negotiations with the US in the process nicknamed Istanbul-II.
    ​ For Russian decision-makers in Moscow, and for the Russian people across the country, there can be no long-term security for the country without the military defeat of the enemy on the Ukrainian battlefield, capitulation of the Kiev regime, and withdrawal from Ukrainian territory of its US and NATO allies.​ https://johnhelmer.net/what-is-russia-deciding-for-terms-to-end-the-war-in-the-ukraine-gorilla-radio-explains/

    ​ Biden Holds Phone Call With Netanyahu On Iran Strike Plans After Gallant Trip Blocked
    ​ President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are holding a crucial phone call Wednesday morning focused on Israel’s plans to strike back at Iran for the Oct.1st ballistic missile attack, which saw some 200 warheads launched, many of which hit targets on the ground including key airbases.
    ​ It marks the first call since Iran’s attack, and also the first between the leaders in two months, and comes as Washington has signaled it is deeply worried that a bigger regional war could break out if Israel’s retaliation goes too far. The call is scheduled for 10:30ET. NBC is reporting that Vice President Kamala Harris will join the call.
    ​ The call comes amid some internal Israeli drama, given the open spat between Netanyahu and his Defense Minister. Netanyahu has forced Gallant to cancel a planned trip to Washington. It was set for Wednesday, and he was to meet with counterparts in the Pentagon about “ongoing Middle East security developments,” a Pentagon statement had indicated.​ https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/biden-holds-phone-call-netanyahu-iran-strike-plans-after-gallant-trip-blocked​

    ​ “No,” Starmer replied bluntly. “But it is a really serious point. Banning all sales would mean none for defensive purposes.

    Has Iran Just Tested a Nuclear Bomb? Rodney Atkinson
    ​ Two disturbing news items out of Iran suggest that Iran may already have a nuclear bomb capacity.

    Secondly, a source in the Islamic republic said in a private conversation with an official close to Khamenei that​:

    ​ USN Ret. Admiral Cem Gurdinez, Israel’s Air Defense and the Weakness of the U.S. Navy. “Damage Control Project” of Commander of the U.S. Naval Forces
    ​ In June 2023, the American Congress approved the naval target of 381 ships. In addition, it is aimed to have 397 ships by 2053. However, today, in order to complete the 381 ship target by 2030, a 20% budget increase is needed, which is not possible under today’s debt stock burden.
    ​ Today, the backbone of American naval power is nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSN), other than nuclear aircraft carriers and ballistic missile submarines (SSBN).
    ​ However, today, nearly 40% of submarines are under repair and the delays in repair are enormous. If aircraft carriers operate in waters close to the continent – for example, in the South or East China Sea – they are likely to be hit by hypersonic and ballistic missiles. In short, the US is unprepared for a major power conflict which is developing.
    ​ If a conflict with China were to break out tomorrow, the American Navy would have very little chance of winning because it is not ready. The logistical difficulties of building and sustaining American naval power in the short and medium terms are incredible. If the problem of replenishing existing weapons and ammunition stocks is added to this, the seriousness of the situation becomes apparent.
    ​ According to former American Undersecretary of the Navy Seth Cropsey, if the US does not increase the production of the weapons it will need in the Indo-Pacific, especially hypersonic cruise and ballistic missiles and short-range anti-ship weapons, it will lose a war for Taiwan in weeks. In its current state, the US Navy cannot maintain its bases and allies in the Indo-Pacific Oceans and its transoceanic logistical support line.
    ​ The parameters of the US​SR-USA balance in the Cold War and today’s US-China balance are extremely different. The USSR could not defeat the US because the American Navy’s enormous size of 600 ships confined the Soviets to the continent and weakened them. China, on the other hand, is far more advanced at sea than the US naval power today. China has the advantage in terms of both its geographical location, naval power and number of anti-ship missiles. The conditions are more in its favor than ever to bring this to a dynamic conclusion. The US is weakening its power in the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf because of Israel. China, on the other hand, will use every opportunity to protect and develop its own geopolitical interests, especially in Taiwan and the South China Sea, as long as the Israel-Iran crisis continues.​ https://www.globalresearch.ca/iran-israel-tension-weakness-american-navy/5869826

    Media aftermath of Milton is a bit weird as well.

    “MASSIVE crane FELL into this ONE BUILDING!!! The CORNER is motherfucking MASSIVELY DAMAGED!!!” Wait, who left a crane fully upright to fall over in a hurricane they knew were coming? Let’s look at the Hurricane Damage which is this one building corner from 1,025 angles.

    “ROOF motherfucking DESTROYED on big arena!!!!” The fabric one? Yes I am shocked as well, truly.

    “MASSIVE STORM SURGE… cars STRUGGLING to get where they are going! WOAAHHHHHHHHH” The cars are struggling – but moving – underneath the 20 foot storm surge you promised? Wait, I can SEE THE SIDEWALK.

    Or they show me a stopsign with the water 3 feet up on it… but I can SEE it is at the bottom of a very substantial hill. Or they show houses that the water came up to …on a river. Yeah, I remember houses having exactly that happen every year on the Fox river in Illinois when it rained.

    National Hurricane Center “5 am EDT – Hurricane #Milton moving off the coast of east-central Florida. Still producing damaging hurricane-force winds and heavy rains. ”

    1. What is it damaging out there on the open ocean?

    2. Can you help me find the announcement you made classifying 56 knot winds as “hurricane-force,” because I’m struggling to find any aircraft or buoy data placing it above the 74 mph to qualify it for a Cat 1 on the Saffir-Simpson scale at that time.

    clicking around, why don’t I see hurricane force winds anywhere at 6am 10/10? Just this one time, a dependable reporting model is off by what, 40 knots?

    They still have trial by jury in NC, I think?

    So they arrest with the expectation they cannot ever get a conviction.

    …so they’re arresting him to tie him up and make him unable to bring more rescue aid. They are arresting him purely to imprison him. Summary punishment without due process, in effect.

    Are state-level law enforcement going along with this? #helping just like the Feds? If not, can’t they shoo off, block, obfuscate, delay, distract the feds to help their own people?

    Are local judges approving this? What’s the state governor doing about Fed interdiction?

    FEMA is now a slush fund for gov. to use at will.

    The assertion that when Israel is attacking Gaza and “Hizbollah’s infrastructure”, when it destroys hospitals, apartments and murders civilians, is an insult to intelligence.

    If/did Iran conduct an underground nuclear test on October 5?
    Does anyone want to verify?
    Will Israel/USA accept this as a deterrent or a bluff?

    In its current state, the US Navy cannot maintain its bases and allies in the Indo-Pacific Oceans and its transoceanic logistical support line.

    Could Iran trade yellow cake to North Korea for a nuclear devise test last Saturday?

    Prev. thread. WES posted:

    One can talk all day about the dollar, the Euro, the pound, the Yen, etc. and how different money/banking systems work.
    But when “TRUST” is finally lost, no paper/digital money/banking system will survive.

    Absolutely. In fact ‘trust’, historically, in many parts of Europe, say 1850 – 1950, approx. used ‘signed chits’ = a piece of paper ripped out of a notebook and stating I OWE X to Y, signed on this day, etc.

    OK in CH it was common, probably less elsewhere, it worked 95% (est.) of the time. One family member I had, b. 1920. was known for signing chits on the paper used to cover tables in restaurants. No problems ever arose. (Of course minor / small loss, distributed around, has to be accepted for that to work.)

    Even today in CH it is possible to get 0% interest loans with a simple promise to pay back, ok, is restricted to particular ppl/situations.

    Remember, the concept of “money” is a creation of the human mind, so it isn’t real. That piece of paper in your hand that you call money, is merely a symbol representing the idea of money. …..Only gold and silver can never lose their “TRUST” factor and are real.

    WES, my friend, I agree with u all the time, so let me argue here. Gold and silver don’t have intrinsic value, only what humans attibute to them. Gold seems like the ‘last rampart’ for store of value. But when ppl don’t have enough to eat, are starving and all the ‘valuables’ have been taken, what happens? Those who do still have some ‘assets’ can’t sell their gold jewels, gold coins (or silver, or antiques, or precious paintings..) in exchange for essential food.

    As happened in Occupied France, Holland, etc. in WW2. The Nazis had no interest in more gold, precious metals, and nor could/would they deliver food in exchange…
