René Magritte Youth 1924 • Why Women Should Vote for Trump (Tiffany Marie Brannon) • The Collapse of Kamala Harris (Hammer) • The Three Layers
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle October 19 2024]
History. It’s what never happened. It’s now like a Choose Your Own Adventure novel! By Winston. You never know what already happened next.
“Trump Brutally Roasts Dems; Schumer Shocked, Kamala ‘No Show’ At Al Smith Dinner
He’s such a Hitler, they’re all in the same room together, perfectly safe, and Chuck Shumer is laughing. Added this headline because apparently the pressure they’re putting Kamala under is causing her to have a nervous breakdown. That’s what “Not a Natural” means. Also why they went into the Booth and pulled Kamala from the Fox interview — not the hard time limit. She was just getting pointed and eloquent, discussing how people shouldn’t be jailed for their political views, but I think they saw that as, “if she goes emotional, she may break down and break out.” Lashing out, screaming, throwing things or whatever it is she does.
I guess I’ll add then, that Trump IS a natural, it IS his personality to talk to people, plan, and do work all day. Therefore when he has to do twice as much of it as President, he won’t have a nervous breakdown. You’d think that would be easier to find, and easier to bend, but it’s not, and now you see what the puppet-handlers are up against. They have to pick a Ze or a Sarah Palin or Bachman.
“America’s National Security Is Far Worse Off Than Four Years Ago
By every metric, the CCP is flexing its strategic muscles by expanding its nuclear arsenal and strategic reach…Very classic, U.S. pulls out of all treaties, adds all bases and weapons, and when that doesn’t work (that’s considered a baseline with us) WE LITERALLY TELL THEM WE’RE ATTACKING. Genius! The when any poor country goes, “Well, guess I better stock some rifles then” we call belligerence when they have THEIR army in their OWN country. …Like we did with Russia in 2021, remember? Russia was training Russians in Russia for the Russian army, how dare they?
Yup, they’re all insane, and we’re fighting them too. It’s just that fighting someone who sleeps in the same house as you is different than fighting someone you can safely leave the barracks, and come back for R&R.
“Israel Already Requesting A Second THAAD Missile Defense Battery From US
Yeah, but do we have two? Or any missiles for them? (A: Not really)
“Communism Failure: Cuba Paralyzed By Massive Power Blackout
I guess we’ll never know since we illegally embargo them all. If it works so badly, why are they there 80 years, and why don’t you leave them to collapse on their own? Like Vietnam, oops. Who is booming. Why? Like Iran, they want to lock up all their resources in a pantry and NOT use them. This is HOW they do that. Nothign to do with anything else. That is to say, they know it doesn’t work, but it does hurt everyone, which is the point. When we need Cuba’s stuff, “Suddenly!!!” yeah we have a JCPA with them, normalize, and the join the system. Then the 100 years of oil suddenly goes on market.
Example: We were fighting Russia for Communism. Evil Empire. As Armstrong says, Russia fell and a day later we were still fighting them when they were no longer Communist but Capitalist. Uhhhh, not a genius, but does that demonstrate it was never about Communism for us? It was about power and stealing?
“NATO Membership Or Nuclear Weapons: Zelensky Stuns Allies With Demand
Which nuclear states suffered? None except Ukraine… Who gave up their nuclear weapons?”His opening negotiation is that he will join NATO tomorrow, then NATO will attack Russia the next day and conquer Russia to Vladivostok to get all Ukraine back. ….By adding American nukes then presumably using them. Thanks! I was more covering the headline: Ukraine WAS safe. The DID give up their nuclear weapons and all agreements were honored although they were a criminal s—thole, a burden to Russia, and attacking or even shelling Russians against all human rights. That agreement held IF THEY WERE NEUTRAL. The new Ze/Azov government specifically said they were getting nukes and using them. Russia asked, “For realsies?” Yes for real, so they invaded as that treaty was broken.
Repeating myself, since it appears to be constantly forgotten. There’s stupid, antagonize Russia stupid, then “Land War in Asia” stupid. Ukraine is all three. But that’s okay, half of all prostitutes in Europe are now Ukrainian, as part of “The Garden’s” new slavery and human trafficking industry.
“New Claims That 10,000 North Korean Troops Are Being Sent To Fight Ukraine
I have not a clue why anybody cares about this. So? We’re in Ukraine to the tune of 30,000 minimum, probably 250k minimum with all our “Advisors” and Blackrock guys. We probably had 10k in our bioweapons labs alone.
So what if NoKo was there? I don’t even understand the premise. Also, and I need to keep reminding, ALL territory Russia is fighting in is RUSSIAN provinces. According to their Constitution. So we can’t have Russian army, with Russian guests, in Russian territory now?
I guess the NoKo thing is just “We made NoKo soooooper-skary, like “The Thing”, so we get our rocks off shrieking like little girls on a roller coaster about everything they do.
We talk about socialism and health care often here:
Any questions? That system may work elsewhere (oh wait, no it doesn’t on any size over a million) but it never works here as our government can’t be trusted. You have to know Americans. I hear a new story daily about some new scam, all ADDED by, for, and because of government. Bought Social Security supplemental? Yeah, it doesn’t cover anything, oops! It just re-covers the base you don’t need. Are you a retiree? Yeah, every thing is out of network, since you’re either in the North, or on Florida half the year. …We don’t provide plans that cover both places, so our coverage is the same price, but services are cut in half! Yay! …These are not scams, thanks to the complete merger of State and Corporation, they’re all laws, legally passed! (And still fraud)
Now why you no want government to do even MORE health care? Hasn’t it been great already? Didn’t we prove ourselves for 10 years and THEN fire every doctor or nurse who wouldn’t participate in Nuremberg experiments? C’mon. Tis but a scratch compared to what we have planned. We haven’t even set up auto-suicide centers for kids like Canada has. Put a nickel in the gumball machine, get a free cyanide pill. We have one in every Canadian Tire and TheBay nationwide.

We have to have a world wide nuclear exchange that topples empires instead over one pointless, unimportant person. Logic!
Babylon Bee: “EXCLUSIVE: 11 Findings From The FBI’s Investigation Into The Trump Shooting”
What report? There has been no report at all. Therefore, what assassination? Oh and: Which shooting? Can it be a “Conspiracy Theory” when there’s no official story and never will be?
“Kimbal Musk explains how SpaceX had to fight the US military to allow them to launch satellites for cheaper prices.”
That’s because they’re not Capitalists. Any Capitalist knows you can get richer and make more money with better customers by lowering the price and selling more satellites overall. That’s why we have two cars in every garage, which the Democrats don’t want either. They want a car to cost $70k and you take an Uber.

“• Harris’ One Answer To Bret Baier That Americans Just Don’t Believe (JTN)
As I said, all she has to say is: “Look, this was a very tough and serious decision. There’s a lot in it. Would the markets crash? Would Russia invade Poland? Would China take Taiwan? Yes, we chose to keep it going maybe longer than we wanted.” Etc. …Now all those things are false of course, but it would SOUND serious and Presidential. Who runs Kamala?

“prompting accusations of misleading editing to make the sitting vice-president sound … coherent”
I think we know where we are when they put together sentences with those words.
““There must be an end to the ideological disease if the world is ever to establish lasting peace.”
True, but they don’t want peace, and peace is bad for business. Well…their business anyway. When you live for trafficking Ukrainian children to be murdered, shutting off your supply crushes profits.
“the Western political elites are so ingrained with arrogance and ideological animosity towards Russia, it is hard to see how they will sober up”
They will need to be smacked sober. They need an event they categorically lose that scares the pants off them, makes them resign in shame, make all history take notice, yet also doesn’t cause a nuclear war. That’s threading the needle.
““..it is currently considering whether sales from his other businesses, namely SpaceX, Neuralink, xAI and The Boring Company, should be included in determining potential fines against X.”
How on God’s Earth could that possibly be legal? If they sue Bank of America, they get to take all Berkshire Hathaways’ other companies too? Oh yeah: THERE’S NO RULE OF LAW. That’s why. “You had money, I wanted your money, so I took it. Make me.”
Mercator Projections: I guess no one keeps globes in schools anymore. Clickbait on “Why every map you’ve seen” Me? You know every object I’ve ever seen? Who are you, Mark Zuckerberg? And “Why THEY are lying to you.” Who is “They” though? WERE they lying? Sounds to me like you’re a moron who was such an uneducated pinhead you didn’t realize what a Mercator Projection was. …Because you’ve never seen a map, because there are SCORES of other map styles, all equally common. Etc. That is, not “All maps lie.” You are lying RIGHT NOW by saying that. Google Earth, one of the most common maps on earth, zooms out to a globe.
So: telling me who I am. Telling me you’re an authority. And telling me that everyone but you is a liar. Huh. Wow, that sounds like 3 out of 5 for being the Leader of a Cult. Shut up and tell me how to join.
Conclusion: I. Hate. Clickbait. Is it like IMPOSSIBLE just to pass information without adding this standard boilerplate overhead of lies and condescension? The world may never know.
Florida: Any issues when you jam all the deer and all the panthers in the same slot together? This cutting of areas by roads have been an issue of environmentalists for years, and even to the Indians and the railroad. No solution: I’d say go back to local communities, leading heavily on railroads. We’d also save +50% of all oil use. But that would move us back to 1950, and of course we’d have to put in those extra drinking fountains and all beat our wives, so it’s clearly impossible.
The Tiffany Marie Brannon article made a lot of good points, some of which I wasn’t even aware of, so I guess I should take back what I said about this election being about a rebellion of men. Even when I originally said that, I didn’t mean a rebellion against women in general, just a certain subset of women who I strongly believe have lost their perspective.
Who would have thought that in America, where about 80% of people believe in God, despite what BtJ says, the election would birth a new cult? We have the church of Trump and all the sinners willing to worship him and his apostles, Musk, Rfk jr, etc. When Trump is elected, it will be time for church building .., Americans are morons.
I’m an affluent 30-something divorced, white, childless, American woman with multiple postgraduate degrees, and a busy career.
So you can’t even evaluate a man well enough to be your husband, or you are too fucked up to make a relationship work … but you are proud of it! Now you are telling people that you can evaluate Trump? Fix your own problems you slack cunt.

Narratives Meet Reality https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/narratives-meet-reality
Surplus Energy Economics, The coming shock, FACT, PERCEPTION AND A LOOMING CRISIS
There appears, in short, to be a quickening in the pace of change, even if we can’t always pin this down in terms of data or happenings.
Another way to put this is that, whilst most economic facts change only gradually, perceptions and sentiment can evolve very rapidly indeed, and seem now to be doing exactly that. This is very largely a bottom-up process of changing perceptions which hasn’t – yet – started to influence financial market sentiment.
Just as there are the two economies of the material and the monetary, so there are, at any given time, two futures. The first is the one that we can calculate and project, if our methodologies are effective.
The “second future”, which may be very different from the first, is the future of perception, which is the shared expectation of how events will unfold.
The key to effective investment and strategy isn’t entirely, or even mainly, the ability to predict factual outcomes, but to anticipate how sentiment – the markets’ equivalent of popular perception – will evolve over time. The secret of effective government lies in steering the collective perception in ways that conform to your objectives. [“Noble Lie”, Plato]…
..Dominant groups – which, according to choice, we might term ‘the establishment’, ‘the powers that be’, ‘the elites’ or ‘the technocracy’ – have, until quite recently, been very successful in selling their narrative to the public.
At the heart of this narrative is the transition from climate-harming fossil fuels to renewables, a transition which will take place at no net economic cost. The shorthand term for this process is “sustainable growth”…
..There comes a point, though, at which excuses start to wear thin, and “sheer bad luck” starts to sound remarkably like “the dog ate my homework”.
This is the point that has now been reached…
,,What should concern us is how far outcomes will diverge from the “authorised version”, and what the consequences of this divergence might be.
The short answer is that this “authorised version” cannot be delivered, that the economy is destined to shrink rather than grow, and that a severe correction must take place in a financial system predicated on the contrary assumption.
The central plank of this “authorized version” is fundamentally flawed, because, whilst climate change is a very real menace, a transition from fossil fuels to renewables will result in a smaller economy.
The characteristics (and especially the energy-densities) of renewables are inferior to those of oil, natural gas and coal. Transition to lesser-density energy inputs truncates the productive-dissipative process, resulting in reduced economic output.
One misperception here is that we have some kind of “free choice” between the “progressive” adoption of renewables and some kind of “Luddite” insistence on the continued primacy of carbon energy.
In reality, no such choice exists. Renewables are indeed the future, but it’s a poorer future, not a more prosperous one.
Depletion of fossil fuel reserves has long been driving a critical metric – the Energy Cost of Energy – relentlessly upwards. The inferiority of their inherent characteristics means that renewables can’t stem, let alone reverse, this prosperity-eroding uptrend in ECoEs.
The failure of this core transition promise is becoming progressively more evident. Domestic energy costs aren’t falling, but rising, as we shift the balance of supply towards renewables…
..What’s particularly interesting (in Fig. 1C) is the way in which, whilst the downturn in per capita discretionary affordability has already happened, we’re only now approaching the inflexion-point in the aggregates…
..The authorities can’t possibly sit back and watch this happen without trying to fix it. Discretionaries account for a very large proportion of the world’s equity and debt capital, the owners of that capital are often very influential, huge numbers of jobs are involved, and the public are going to resent losing products and services often long taken for granted…
..The current combination of circumstances compels decision-makers to pull monetary levers, even though the material cannot be reinvigorated by the monetary. As mentioned here before, the banking system can’t lend new low-cost energy or other natural resources into existence, and central bankers can’t conjure them ex nihilo out of the ether, any more than technology can bend the laws of physics. The validity of money depends on a determination not to let its supply out-grow the underlying material economy…
..Fundamentally, money has value only as a “claim” on the material, and the creation of excess claims must lead to value destruction, to the extent that the aggregate of claims is perceived as “value”.
It is, of course, a myth that value destruction occurs when bubbles burst. The reality is that the bursting of a bubble reveals value already destroyed during the period of malinvestment in which the bubble is inflated.
“Malinvestment” means putting capital into entities and projects destined to fail. Malinvestment is taking place at epic scale in the economy of today. Governments play a part in this every time they try to encourage, say, tourism or “tech”, when they should instead be prioritizing essential infrastructure…
..Historians of the future will ask why, for instance, housing prices are at near-record highs in a disintegrating British economy, or why so much capital continues to be channeled into the “T4” discretionary sectors of “travel, toys, trinkets and “tech” at a time when the discretionary affordability of the average person is already declining…
..It’s notoriously difficult to time the moment at which a bubble bursts, a challenge made harder by the axiom that “when everyone rushes to the exit-doors, those doors get smaller”.
For governments, and perhaps for private individuals and businesses as well, the most sensible preparation for the coming bust would be to taper or desist from malinvestment. Another term for this is the adoption of solutions of quality, now that solutions of quantity are ceasing to exist…
..But market changes are products of changes in sentiment, and these are likely to be connected to a shift of popular perception away from the “official narrative” of growth restored by transition, technology and monetary innovation. https://surplusenergyeconomics.wordpress.com/2024/10/15/291-the-coming-shock/Colin Todhunter looks at Bayer/Monsanto attempts to “modernize” Indian agriculture through poisons and fertilizers, routing profits to themselves as long as farmers exist.
Bayer’s ‘Backward’ Claim: A Bid to Reap Control of Indian Agriculture
Bayer’s approach to agricultural development involves promoting a model of industrial agriculture dependent on corporate products, including its toxic chemicals and genetically modified crops, and advocating for precision, data-driven agriculture that relies heavily on its proprietary technologies and software.
Simon Wiebusch, Country Divisional Head of Crop Science for Bayer South Asia, recently stated that India cannot become a ‘developed nation’ with ‘backward’ agriculture. He believes India’s agriculture sector must modernise for the country to achieve developed nation status by 2047.
Bayer’s vision for agriculture in India includes prioritising and fast-tracking approvals for its new products, introducing genetically modified (GM) food crops, addressing labour shortages (for weeding) by increasingly focusing on herbicides and developing herbicides for specific crops like paddy, wheat, sugarcane and maize. https://www.globalresearch.ca/bayers-backward-claim-control-indian-agriculture/5870374Paul Craig Roberts, How Do We Get Off the Road to Armageddon?
Two days ago on October 14 I posted my column about a new US Department of Defense Directive, 5240.01, that radically alters the relationship between the US military and American citizens. In the new directive issued one month prior to the election, the US military is authorized to intervene against American citizens and to use deadly force against Americans… I asked why such a drastic reformulation of long established policy unless the Democrats were setting up a coup in place of a lost election…
..Those patriots who see Trump as America’s savior should be alarmed by his response. In a Fox Business interview on October 13, Trump was asked if he anticipated any chaos following the announcement of the election results. Trump said not from his supporters, a surprising statement if the Democrats steal the election. Trump thought that Kamala’s loss could result in disturbances from the woke left-wing, but “it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military.” So here we have it: Trump has bought into Directive 5240.01. https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2024/10/16/how-do-we-get-off-the-road-to-armageddon/@RIM: The options bar with “B”old, “IMG”, etc populated for me this morning and I could post an image (above).

Lip Reader Deciphers Biden-Obama Grumpy Old Men Chat
On Wednesday afternoon, cameras caught President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama having a ‘vigorous’ discussion while attending Ethel Kennedy’s funeral. Kennedy died last Thursday at the age of 96 after having a stroke the previous week…
..On Thursday, the NY Post reported that they hired a professional lip reader to decipher what was said. Hilariously, the parodies weren’t too far off!
President Biden griped to former President Barack Obama that “she” is “not as strong as me” — with Obama agreeing “that’s true” — in a stunning off-mic conversation deciphered for The Post by a professional lip reader.
The apparent candid assessment of Vice President Kamala Harris’ standing going into the Nov. 5 election occurred Wednesday afternoon as America’s two most recent Democratic presidents conversed at Ethel Kennedy’s memorial service in Washington.
“She’s not as strong as me,” said Biden, 81, according to the translation, which was produced by analyzing the on-video lip movements during the discussion.
“I know … that’s true,” the popular former president agreed, adding, “We have time.” “Yeah, we’ll get it in time,” said Biden. [Huh?

2 days ago: ‘Israel can always rely on German arms deliveries’: Scholz, Senior officials in Berlin have come under fire for saying Israel ‘has the right’ to kill civilians
“Israel can rely on our solidarity – now and in the future,” he stressed.
Scholz’s speech came one day after opposition leader Friedrich Merz called on the chancellor to explain why Berlin “just recently” started approving export licenses to send German-made munitions to Israel “at very short notice.”
His statements came a few days after German daily Bild reported that since March, Germany had not approved “a single license for arms exports to Israel.”
According to the sources who spoke with Bild, the freeze on arms supplies was decided by the Federal Security Council at the behest of Minister of Economy Robert Habeck and Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.
In response to the report, Habeck’s office stressed that Berlin employs “all means” to “strengthen Israel’s self-defense.”
For her part, on Monday, the German foreign minister told parliament that Israel has the right to kill civilians. “Self-defense means not only attacking terrorists but destroying them. When Hamas terrorists hide behind people, behind schools … civilian places lose their protected status because terrorists abuse it,” Baerbock said. https://thecradle.co/articles/israel-can-always-rely-on-german-arms-deliveries-scholzIsraeli military uses phosphorus munitions against refugees in Gaza — TV

Fake news reports have claimed, based on anonymous sources, that Iran has delivered ballistic missiles to Russia for use in the war in Ukraine.
Iran strongly denies to have sent any such missiles. Ukraine has not reported the impact of any such missile on its territory . There is zero evidence that any missile transfer has happened.
In September the U.S. and the UK imposed new sanctions on Iran mostly effecting its civil air line traffic. Now the EU is following with similar sanctions. These sanctions are claimed to be in punishment for missile transfers – which did not happen. https://www.moonofalabama.org/2024/10/fake-reports-of-missile-transfers-to-russia-are-used-to-sanction-iran.htmlUS Sends B-2 Stealth Bombers To Hit Houthi Underground Bunkers In War’s First
The Associated Press called it a warning to Iran and noted that while the extent of damage is as yet unclear, “the attack appeared to be the first use of the B-2 in combat in years and the first time the flying wing targeted sites in Yemen.”
Any potential Israeli strikes on Iran are also expected to target underground bunkers which conceal ballistic missiles, possibly with US-supplied munitions such as bunker busting ordinance. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in commenting on the fresh action over Yemen hinted at this.
“This was a unique demonstration of the United States’ ability to target facilities that our adversaries seek to keep out of reach, no matter how deeply buried underground, hardened or fortified,” he said.
Austin specified that targets were successfully struck at “five hardened underground weapons storage locations in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.”
According to more on this new attack against a group seen as Iran’s proxy on the Arabian peninsula, and how it sets up for potential further military action against Iran:
The B-2 would be used in any American attack on hardened Iranian nuclear facilities like Natanz or Fordo given it is the only aircraft in service that can drop the GBU-57, known as the “Massive Ordnance Penetrator.” https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/us-sends-b-2-stealth-bombers-hit-houthi-underground-bunkers-wars-first The GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) is a precision-guided, 30,000-pound (14,000 kg) “bunker buster” bomb used by the United States Air Force. It is substantially larger than the deepest-penetrating bunker busters previously available, the 5,000-pound (2,300 kg) GBU-28 and GBU-37. Due to its size (6 meters length and a weight of over 12 tonnes) it can only be carried by large bombers—for instance, the B-2 Spirit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GBU-57A/B_MOP

Professor Ugo Bardi has a new book out, “Exterminations”, reprising these essays and more: The Age of Exterminations (VI): The Great Famine to Come
The third horseman of the apocalypse, hunger, is traditionally represented with a scale in hand, symbolizing scarcity. Famines are not normally considered exterminations but, in many cases, they have been provoked by human actions…
..In the years from 1845 to 1852, Ireland lost a quarter of its population as an effect of the Great Famine (the An Gorta Mór). In a few decades, Ireland’s population was reduced to 4 million, half of what it had been before the famine.
Was it an extermination? Yes, if you define the term as the death of a large number of people caused by human action (or inaction). And there is no doubt that the Irish disaster was not just the result of the chance arrival of a fungus that liked Irish potatoes.

The reprehensible story behind Shaken Baby Syndrome covering up vaccine induced infant deaths. https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/please-help-prevent-a-medical-miscarriage Texas Supreme Court temporarily stops Robert Roberson’s execution
The refusal by the state’s highest criminal court to consider Roberson’s argument that his conviction relied on a faulty shaken baby syndrome diagnosis, lawmakers said, reflected a breakdown of due process and a failure to implement the junk science law as the Legislature intended.
“This was a pretty clear case where Robert Roberson did not have due process,” state Rep. Lacey Hull, R-Houston, said on CNN on Tuesday. “Texans deserve to know that our justice system is fair and just, and we cannot say that right now.”
Dozens of scientists, medical professionals, parental rights groups, organizations that advocate for people with autism and faith leaders submitted letters in support of clemency along with Roberson’s application.
Letters from his friends and loved ones depicted a gentle man of faith who remembered people’s favorite colors and sent handmade birthday cards to everyone he met. “This man would never harm another person, especially not his small little baby girl!” Manuela Doris Roberson, whom Roberson married in 2022, wrote in one letter. “Robert’s life is worth more to me, his children, his friends and loved ones than all the treasures of this world.” https://www.keranews.org/criminal-justice/2024-10-18/texas-supreme-court-temporarily-stops-robert-robersons-execution Robert Roberson expected to testify in person before Texas House panel on Monday
State lawmakers subpoenaed Roberson the night before his execution, prompting a historic appearance at a House committee hearing.
“For over 20 years, Robert Roberson has spent 23.5 hours of every single day in solitary confinement in a cell no bigger than the closets of most Texans, longing and striving to be heard,” state Reps. Joe Moody, D-El Paso, and Jeff Leach, R-Plano, said in a statement after the high court’s order came down. “We look forward to welcoming Robert to the Texas Capitol, and along with 31 million Texans, finally giving him — and the truth — a chance to be heard.” https://www.texastribune.org/2024/10/18/robert-roberson-texas-house-hearing/Steve Kirsch, COVID case fatality rate (CFR) increased by 50% after they rolled out the jabs in Santa Clara County in 2021 https://kirschsubstack.com/p/covid-case-fatality-rate-cfr-jumped
New paper shows clearly that COVID vaccines increased mortality in nursing home staff
A new paper by Girma and Paton shows a dubious, small short lived benefit in initial vaccination in nursing home residents, but the clearest result was an increase in mortality in the staff.
A new paper by Girma and Paton showed by using machine learning a small but dubious (and short lived) benefit for nursing home residents in 2 of 3 metrics.
But the big news is the impact on the nursing home staff. There, the impact on BOTH covid deaths and all-cause deaths was 100% consistent in all 7 time periods and for each vaccine dose: it always made things worse, and for the primary series, every single one of the 14 measures were highly statistically significant (99% confident). https://kirschsubstack.com/p/new-paper-shows-clearly-that-covidMeryl Nass MD forwards this article: Slovak Government Report Calls for Ban of ‘Dangerous’ mRNA Vaccines, and so does a city in Western Australia https://merylnass.substack.com/p/slovak-government-report-calls-for

Not all caffeine presents itself the same, according to emerging research demonstrating that synthetic caffeine may accelerate aging while naturally occurring caffeine could slow age-related decline…
..The type of caffeine in your coffee may play a role in its protective effect against aging.
About 60 percent of the caffeine consumed by Americans is synthesized in a lab, meaning it doesn’t come from natural sources such as coffee beans or tea plants. Synthetic caffeine is what popular companies such as Pepsi, Coke, and Red Bull add to their beverages to give their drinks an extra kick.
In a 2017 study published in Nutrition & Metabolism, higher caffeine intake was associated with shorter telomeres, a marker of cellular aging, in adults. However, increased coffee consumption was linked to longer telomeres. This suggests that compounds beyond caffeine may provide anti-aging effects.
“On the surface, it might be assumed that caffeine intake and coffee consumption are essentially the same variable,” the researchers wrote. “They are not.” https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/synthetic-versus-natural-caffeine-and-how-each-may-affect-aging Scientists discover “negative time” in bizarre quantum experiment where photons exit atoms before entering

Post Covid, besides people in general acting more retarded than usual, I’ve noticed many people spending so much on groceries and basic necessities that they are approaching the inflexion-point. where they CAN’T have any discretionary spending and Retail in Duh’merica is just going to collapse one fine day in the near future.
Most prices for any products online are cheaper than any retail stores can offer including big box stores.
Retail businesses can barely compete anymore and “customers” are generally tapped out for anything over mere survival.

Steven Hawkings theories include information being a form of energy that can escape black holes. If time is only information, it too may not behave well in a quantum frame.
