    @Veracious Poet: I agree with you about the extent to which the daily discussion around here seems to have gone downhill in quality in recent months. At least deflationista’s reliable shrieking, hectoring, and braying served to remind us why we resisted and opposed the Covidian Cult narrative!

    “Progressive” Democrats Formally Retract Call for Diplomacy in Ukraine”

    Well that figures. Antiwar for 24 whole hours. Until the twitter bots said they were out of the cool girlz club. Guess we gotta go murder some kids now! I know what you did last summer.

    But that’s okay: they’re also for any and every violence in Israel, so…

    “Vitrenko explained that “about 40% of the power generation plants were destroyed” by recent Russian airstrikes.”

    I have not heard that. I heard the took out the distribution, so as not to have to rebuild the expensive generation plants later. Not that “The Plants” aren’t out, but hitting the outgoing substation is different.

    I can’t credit Webb on this. Doesn’t look like peace to me and I need more confirmation.

    “ Exposure of Ukraine’s ‘Dirty Bomb’ Plans Caused Stir in Kiev – Russia (RT) “

    Let’s rephrase the Bomb thing this way: Ukraine is losing the war and is out of men and guns. The only way to stall the newly 10x Russian invasion and save Odessa…and not be landlocked with half of Europe under Russian control…is to turn part of the coast into a no-go zone. Because it’s like a game with specific goals: when Russia reaches Odessa, the war is over. Only cleanup remains. They’ve chosen which area they want to sacrifice to “save Ukraine” by stopping Russia from reaching Odessa. Ze must destroy Ukraine to save it. Are other nations at war any less crazy? Not really. Those three parameters are perfectly logical.

    Does that whole thing make sense now? As opposed to Russia…doing something…cuz PutinPutinPutin?

    So…looking at arms sales, it’s like they’re directing all the world’s money to another part of the Mafia operations. First, family needs money, gets the mayor to funnel $200Billion to the bookies. Like the 1B covid doses for 100M people. People get suspicious, that catches on, and so they move the money over to the construction racket. Now twice as much, twice $200 Billion. That’s the Arms producers in the MIC. Doesn’t matter! It’s all circling back to the same family, the same Mafia, the same enforcers, rackets, and Capos. So what’s next?

    Arson probably. Burn down all the people’s houses, rob them first, collect the insurance. In a collapse and a war on the people. A few holdouts die. Classic mafia shakedown. So who else have they decided to hand multi-billion no-bid contracts to lately? ESG is sort of a sideline, organic and not taxpayer money and doesn’t count.

    Anyway, when there isn’t a dirty bomb because of the searchlight-making media exposure, everyone will say they were making it up.

    One tidbit they had but can’t be confirmed: UK DefMin flew to DC personally. Rather than use a SCIF? So we have no secure communication between allies that close now? …Possibly not. The rumor was that someone had infiltrated the communications of that level and that’s how the dirty bomb plan was exposed. …Or so they made them THINK that’s how it was exposed. Note: if the Pentagon is the one fighting Blinken, it’s child’s play to infiltrate your own SCIF in your own routers. Then to stop the war, they leak the info. This is all above-rumor, practically no evidence, but it was said and is interesting.

    “the Russian allegations appear to have fallen on deaf ears, with Ukraine dismissing the claims as absurd,”

    As Ukraine is shelling a live nuclear plant for a month, invade it twice with heavy weapons and men, and the UN can’t figure it out. Yeah, totally cra-cray. The end of all logic and reason in the West that they can believe this.

    Ritter, etc seem to think the UN or West have meaning or are at all relevant here. They’re not. The audience to the bomb PR campaign is the Global South. The UN is already a lost cause and has been for years, at least since 2014 when they approved all genocides, but also in Syria, where they loved invasions, murders of everybody coast to coast, stealing oil across an open desert, and endless high-power weapons to next-level terrorists. After making up chemical attack frauds and stamping their approval. Since the UN, NATO, and West are the ones who invented the plan and approved it, they are in favor, fund, and fabricate global nuclear terror and the use of WMDs on civilians – and have for decades in voluntary wars of aggression – why would Russia warn THEM? They are establishing if this happens, the Global South and 7B people should side with BRICS and ring-fence the WMD-using Colonial aggressors as a pariah zone. More for me! Brazil can then NOT be colonized and spend their own money being prosperous at home instead. Win-Win.

    But again, the point here is The UN is irrelevant. Ceased to exist. Has no meaning. Stop thinking about it. But they won’t. Every day I hear how Russia is the USSR. Like: you guys are pundits! How can you stuck persistence of vision for 30 years after something is no more, has ceased to be? STOP.

    “The Pentagon chief spoke with Minister of Defense Alexey Reznikov to “reaffirm the unwavering US commitment to support Ukraine’s ability to counter Russian aggression,”

    …But we’re not in the war. So our “Commitment” means nothing then? Because we didn’t take action? Or it DOES mean something, and we’re “in the war.” Pick one.

    “Biden today: The pandemic is a “global health emergency”
    Biden literally last month: “The pandemic is over”

    I have no explanation for this. Everyone nods their heads and defends their side to the death! Stupid “other side”! What’s wrong with “Them”? I don’t care about that, people disagree, only that a thing and it’s #Opposite can’t both be true and maybe we should notice that. The end of Logic and Reason itself among the People is far more disturbing. That is the end of #Science.

    “ IEA Warns of ‘First Truly Global Energy Crisis’ (RT)”

    Speaking of “End of logic”. There is no crisis. It’s not a crisis when I refuse to go to the gas station and pump the gas they are happily selling to me, with a credit card I happily have. The only crisis is a mental health crisis that I refuse to go. And the mental health crisis that everyone plays along that my make-believe is real and doesn’t slap me out of it instead.

    “The German economy has already been destroyed by the war [in nearby Ukraine]”

    Again. Not by the war. Just as they claim “Covid” destroyed business, learning, and mental health. No: your irrational, unnecessary, and counterproductive LOCKDOWN did that, and that is just as all data up to that point, every expert ever asked, predicted it would. But we reversed all the experts of 50 years and did it anyway. Same with “The War” destroyed Germany. How? Germany’s not in the war.

    No. THEIR EMBARGO, and REFUSE to eat the energy they must have or die, is the reason they are destroyed. Clear, obvious, indisputable national suicide. Because of a war somewhere else that never touched them.

    No one notices. Just like Covid. …And I don’t think that’s the right parentheses to add there. He did not specifically say “[In Ukraine]”. Because it wasn’t the war in Ukraine that killed them, it was the direct attack by the United States on Germany that killed them. An open act of war by the Anglos, which will probably kill a million + or so, far beyond 911. That’s “the war” and why he phrased it this way.

    “ MSNBC Legal Analyst Declares Trump Could Be Charged with Manslaughter (Turley)”

    So silly it doesn’t bear comment. The end of logic and reason. So Trump has a duty and committed murder for failing to act, but after a week of warning the people actually in charge and with authority: the Pentagon, DC Mayor, Pelosi, they do NOT have a duty to act and did NOT commit murder. And whose murder? Babbitt’s? No one else died in the “most deadly attack in America ever, bigger than 911 and Pearl Harbor combined”. No one noticed. Doesn’t matter. Because that’s #Reality and therefore have no contact or engagement with that.

    “NY Supreme Court Reinstates All Employees Fired for Being Unvaccinated (Fox)”

    If you have two years and several million dollars, you too can buy justice. This only restores damage to par. Okay, now pay reparations for Civil Rights abuses at several million a piece. Nope: next minute, the judge never ruled this. We keep going and do it again.

    Switzerland bought 36 F-35 jets. I’m sorry Noirette: your nation will be completely defenseless soon. Hope you kept those iron bicycles and SIG 550’s because you just lost the air.

    If Redneck’s entertainment is to get their goat, it’s working like a charm. And all he has to say is, Russia isn’t perfect. However, what’s your prediction for what will happen if Escobar and Lira are all wrong?

    A short imaginary conversation with God.

    A man is sitting alone and lost in thought, trying to come to grips with the sometimes terrible things going on in the world around him, both distant and very close. He feels profoundly confused and hopelessly distraught, and in the depths of that despair he has the thought, “If I believed in a God of some kind then the way forward through this living hell would be much easier, or at least bearable with the belief that better things were ahead. But how can I believe in such a miraculous invention when there are no miracles or Divine Signs to verify the theory? If I saw some real confirmation with my own two eyes this problem would not be so difficult. If I could just see or touch some unambiguous sign or miracle then that would do it. I would know it was true instead of depending on a vague faith or adopted and perhaps delusional ‘belief’ . So, God, if you’re there, give me a miracle, show me a sign.”

    God only knows why God would answer such a dumb prayer, but He did, and the answer was , “So you’re sitting there smack in the midst of the greatest of all possible miracles, surrounded by a myriad of completely verifiable real evidence of My existence, and you want more signs and miracles? Giving you more of the same, to be ignored the same, will not make you less blind and ignorant. You don’t need another miracle or sign. You need to wake up. Your awareness of the Universe I have created are sign and miracle enough, and the only hints you really need or are going to get. But I will give you some free advice. Start using that awareness to experience what is, and what’s going on all around you, and don’t quit just to avoid a little discomfort or outright pain from time to time. Follow this simple advice and things will work out fine, eventually, but ignore it and there can only be Hell to pay.”

    Dr. D, you’ve expressed doubts about the End of Energy narrative for some time. Have you been to Gail Tverberg’s site ourfiniteworld.com (I know Raúl’s linked to it before)? Do you think her argument/analysis-synthesis is off, or are you coming at this from a different angle regarding refining/consuming of energy?

    I find it difficult to accept that it’s not the case —to use the metaphor— we’re using emulsified water to flush and pump out the last of the peanut butter from the jar, when we’ve spent so many years easily dipping our finger to get at it. I can accept the idea that it’s about monopolization of the reserves (I’m familiar with the scuttlebutt from geologists and engineers who say the vast and deep and filled reserves are sat upon by tyrants and transnational corporations [same thing?], as well as the more fringe Lore that what we think are ‘fossil’ fuels are not really fossils at all, but something alive and born), but that kind of argument still embraces the reality of scarcity, just recasting it as a matter of intentional design rather than material reality. But you’re consistent, so I’m curious what you know that I can learn.

    Also, in light of my other comment in the earlier Debt Rattle regarding a Sudden Vanishing of influential people:

    ZeroHedge reposted a Paul Joseph Watson (yes, really) piece citing a Reclaim The Net warning based on a PredictWise paper. That paper says

    PredictWise has created scores on 13 issue preference clusters and 7 value-frame, or psychometric clusters. All clusters are scored using more than 350,000 survey respondents and more than 30 Million behavioral data points. On the survey side, we model scores on clusters via a Bayesian latent variable model, developed by PredictWise, of the components in any given cluster. The multi-item measures and the strong signal from more than 30 Million data points increase the accuracy of these models far beyond typical support models. We then project the model coefficients onto the voter file, using, amongst other features, individual-level covariates: age, gender, race, education, party identification, household type, urbanicity based on cell-phone ambient data, and location. We make full use of the probability models on the file, ensuring that each individual will get a score reflecting his or her exact position. The end result is a continuous score for each cluster ranging from 0 to 100 for every American represented on the file. All scalars are scaled to mean ~ 50, sd ~ 20, and we recommend a rank-order-based (as opposed to a cardinal) interpretation of raw scores.

    They also market themselves as having successful clients; here’s one story:

    Presidential election years make it difficult for campaigns to cut through the advertising from the top-of-the-ticket and the many super PACs supporting the campaign. This is especially difficult for court races, even those running for the top court in a state, the Supreme Court. In 2020, PredictWise was asked to build a custom digital audience that would increase digital yield using programmatic ads. The opponents of PredictWise’s client had ruled poorly on a victims’ rights issue capping damages. By looking at PredictWise persuasion scoring, we developed a universe of nearly 1 million likely voters who could be persuaded by the issue and matched nearly 900,000 voters within the audience of having at least one digital identifier.
    The result – Due to customization and a warning being placed on the ads, nearly 80% of the custom audience watched the digital ad in its entity. The client went on to win the Supreme Court election and was the only red-to-blue flip in a Trump won state in 2020, but more importantly, creates a block to overturning recent redistricting reforms made by citizens.

    Ralph Porzio, the Judge now in the news for ordering NYC to reinstate the unvaccinated sanitation workers, won his seat in 2019 as a Republican. Notice the language here: the opponent of their client “had ruled poorly” on one case and so thanks to their own input, their client now “creates a block” to “overturning recent redistricting reforms made by citizens,” a completely separate issue from the issue in the poor ruling. Their client is no longer a client but now another instrument in a larger political dynamic, one PredictWise wants to participate within. Ralph Porzios of the world, don’t rule poorly again!

    Look at PredictWise’s previous clients. Consistently leaning into a technocratic demographic masquerading as a political party, right?

    PredictWise also markets its dashboard app, called there Signal. Clicking over to their website, the first thing I notice is the first thing they want me to notice, their marketing slogan: “Take back control of your audiences.”

    Not “Liberate your clients to follow their wishes” or “Reveal the hearts of the people you serve” or “Find out what your audience truly desires.” No. They are selling their product to people who want to control their audiences. And, importantly, take that control back —having already lost it, that is. And with that control you now “take the wheel of the solutions that best fit your audience needs.” PredictWise puts you in the driver’s seat, making all of your audience just the passengers —or the cargo.

    Let’s leave it as an exercise for the reader to follow where the CVs of Tobi Kontizer and David Rothschild take one.

    At one point, you could use FitBit or Strava data in the heatmaps to figure out where the special military operators were out, doing laps and routes in their routines. For a price, a political campaign can figure out the smallest, most economic means of creating maximal electoral effect. Transnational criminal organizations are the ultimate in free market campaigning: what’s the cost in doing business these days? Where do my competitors hang out and whom with? What’s the smallest, most economic means for creating maximal disruption in the lives of my competitors?

    Imagine if the revolutionaries —not the Resistance or the Clintonian Indivisibles, but the genuine revolutionaries with today’s version of tri-pointed hats— also had access to such analytical tools for discerning how to disrupt the already fragile political ecosystems. What might such a guerilla insurgency look like if the autists came down from 4chan and started building virtual machines like PredictWise sells?

    @ Polemos
    Whether there is a man-induced climate change or not – folks from the North claim that winters are cold, if not colder, as ever, while folks from temperate regions claim, justifiably, that winters are exceptionally mild in past few decades. That is beside the point. Behind the “anger” on climate-change activism – which is equally annoying for just being represented by the brat Greta, there is really, the baby cry for energy intensive life to continue unabated.

    The US-uk-isr, NATO adherents, will continue to poke the Russian Bear, measuring the provocations, dialling them up, then down, escalating, then running scared, in a deathly back ‘n forth dance.

    The *dirty bomb* as a provocative false flag floated by Ukraine to be blamed on Russia is a step too far, it had to be dialled back.

    Ukr. oligarchs and the Gvmt., goosed by US-NATO controllers, still don’t quite capt what they are to scream about, etc. but louder, more extravagant, demanding, is the way to go!

    The amount of graft, corruption, financial transfers, is opaque, and is covered up by all the parties. War is a profitable biz, and it is justified by whipped up hate, while some make out like bandits…etc not flash news…

    Looking back into the past…In 2014 Bald n Brankrupt went around some parts of the Ukraine.

    In 2014 the Ukrainian part of the Donbass erupted into war. Separatists from the Lugansk and Donetsk regions took up arms and took control of Ukrainian towns all along the eastern region of the country. Eventually they were pushed back until they controlled just the cities of Lugansk and Donetsk and some surrounding villages. I went off to visit some of the towns that the Ukrainian army had re-taken along the front lines to see how life was progressing and to hunt for the ultimate Soviet mosaic…

    The UN needs to be publicly humiliated and then torn to pieces.

    A replacement needs to be formed OUTSIDE the boundaries of the Empire of Lies, and certainly never in NYC.

    Preferably in Eurasia.

    Like BRICS, the core of the Fair World Order needs to have a new image and fresh gestalt.

    The Collective West and the Empire of Lies are like a brothel of dried up, used up old transgender whores.

    The UN is the location of said brothel.

    They’re selling something that nobody in the rest of the world wants.

    Symbolically, the UN is a like a dead religion, nobody can remember it’s purpose except by deducing backwards that it has become the diametric opposite of what it was created for.

    As real economic power shifts to Eurasia and BRICS, the Global South will gravitate towards a new center.

    I have a buddy who moved out to the Ukraine because he loved climbing mountains (not hiking, climbing) and it was a great place to jump out to central Asian mountains. This was just before 2014, and he was there for that, and I’ve lost contact with him, so I have no idea where he is. He let me eat some halva he smuggled over. It was great. One of the things that really stuck with me are his stories about the people around him, how street-savvy many of them are —in the sense of taking advantage of others’ incompetence or gullibility, finding the trick in the scam or the gimmick, making things breaking down work for longer to save a buck, looking for the grift or the incentive. I’m a very naïve and scat-eating grin kinda guy, so I know I could never live there for too long, but he was good at knowing how to hold his own.

    So when I also learn about the larger political contexts for the widespread graft, schemes, criminal networks, gun/organ/sex/bioweapon/nuclear trafficking flowing through the Ukraine, I understand why the money poured into it vaporizes into steam and powers the Engine of War.

    Noirette, thank you for the link to see more of the Ukraine. “You can’t film on the metro.” “I’m sorry! Forgive me!” —keeps on filming, gets caught, waits, does it more. It’s wild that he just stumbles across a used launcher, but maybe it’s just “good vlogging.” Some of those bombed out homes do remind me of places I’ve seen here in the rural South or on HoodTime videos off YouTube.

    John Day, noted and thank you for your service.

    Do y’all ever wonder how Sergei and Yulia Skripal are doing? When I hear accusations about MI6, about projections onto others of crimes against one’s self, dirty bombs, blown bridges, sawn Streams, I think about those poisonings, about the ludicrous lies and propaganda and watching Yulia give that last video before they vanished . . .

    Polemos, that depends. In theory, you can’t have infinite growth on an finite earth. Even if the entire planet were made of oil, we would run out. …Or convert one form of matter to another. So that’s not the issue. And suppose there is abiotic oil. Certainly it seems to be improbably deep under the surface to be dead dinosaurs – like +30,000 feet at Deepwater Horizon. That’s not the point either: it could be too expensive to lift, not energy dense enough, like shale isn’t, or even if both were okay, it may not refill any faster than conventional oil. Even 10x as fast would make it “Nonrenewable” for our human purposes. I’d like to know more about how biotic oil seems to be all over the planet at 30,000 feet, (Brazil’s megafield, off the continental shelf is another one), but that’s not the point either.

    The point is all the oil we KNOW we have. We’re directed by media to turn our attention to everywhere it’s running out, like Saudi. And they are indeed pulling a +95% water cut on Gawar, which is a field so large it takes almost all their other fields combined to match it. Texas was similar, and there doesn’t seem to be much there, and it ain’t refilling fast. But what about the OTHER places?

    How much is in Iran? A: most of it. They’ve been essentially embargoed for 40 years. How much is in UAE? Well, they’re only THINKING about building a multi-decade pipeline through Syria, thus the war. So there must be multi-decades there, and enough not only for themselves, but all Europe. That’s a lot of oil. (And oil products). What about Yemen? You think oil stops at the border and Saudi is interested in embarrassingly conquering Yemen for their camel production? Er…I think not. Untapped oil. What about ANWAR? That’s been shut in 20 years. How about the new Leviathan and other fields off Cyprus and Lebanon? More mega-fields, generational oil. What about Venezuela, which is shut in for poverty, not producing much? There’s reason to think there’s probably oil off shut-in states North Korea and Cuba. Japan thinks there is in the Sakhalin. Certainly there is oil in Sudan, thus the war, and East Africa, thus the war. Angola, thus the war, Nigeria, thus the war…gee there sure seem to be a lot of Americans and a lot of wars wherever oil is found, and somehow the war always STOP oil and prevent the flow, like in Libya, big producer now shut-in.

    We know from US and Russian actions they both believe there is a lot of oil in the Arctic, which we already know from Alaska and ANWAR. …And not too many dinosaurs and algae at the arctic circle, more questions how it got there, but there sure seems to be enough to fight over. More fields.

    And what about Russia? They’re not selling the crown jewels, the last drop of oil. They have plenty, enough to sell as well, and no problems finding more to fill a new and ENORMOUS NordStream2. Which was going to run flat-out for a generation before the West blew it up.

    So as I say, Europe may be so idiotic, so self-destructive, so suicidal as to “Run out of oil” but that’s an active choice. Russia would sell them all they want cheap, and probably fill the United States too. Clearly Russia and Iran alone could fill the world for 40-80 years. …But they don’t WANT that. Because then Russia and Iran would be as rich as Saudi, and buy all Congress and some of the media like Saudi has. No: we need to STEAL Iran and Russia: Saudi and Israel kill Iran; Europe and the US kills Russia. To the victor go the spoils. The spoils of 80 years more oil they put on ice with their Western Embargoes, just for such a time as this for the a-stealin’.

    Now the planet may still run out of oil then, and probably will. But that’s the only time horizon I need to make decisions about. By 2100, we’ll probably have quantum reactors creating zero-point energy, air-wired to your car with TeraGigaHertz transmission, and matter synthesizers as well. 80 Years is enough, thank you.

    And from ONLY what I’ve said: no abiotic, no amazing Gawar-finds like Gull island, no new unexpected oil states appearing in Botswana or Ireland, we already know we have enough oil if the rates stay here. And I think at least some of those happy surprises are likely. What we have is not an “Oil Shortage: but a POLITICAL problem, as oil states like the US, (2nd largest) blow up our competition worldwide, every DAY, for 40 YEARS, started a world-wide unlimited oil war in 2002,(100 years! McCain promised) And are presently blowing up Germany, the size of France, and Ukraine, the size of France, just to keep oil prices and profits high. And the US-Dollar-Oil system humming.

    …But that doesn’t mean WE will get the oil that exists. At war, with political-caused crises, and dissolving our world financial system, it’s actually more likely we WON’T get the oil. Just as we were flooded with oil in the Great Depression and people froze anyway. Congratulations, there’s lots of oil: get a woodstove and a bicycle.

    And I wasn’t being gleeful, I’m dead serious. Train and arm as you can because thanks to us and the corresponding Swiss corruption, you’re headed toward defenseless.

    THE SPIKE PROTEIN’S INDUCTION OF LONG COVID AS A CONSTANT STATE OF “FEAR OR FLIGHT” RESPONSE

    Regarding long covid, perhaps the way forward is ivermectin once per week until ailments are gone. Even then it should be fine as a prophylactic. A way to be worm and scabies free.

    I wonder if my memory will improve as a result. Avoid the mad cow disease, prion illness and other nasty effects by ridding yourself of the spike protein.

    Today I read of another study purporting to debunk Ivermectin as a Covid curative. I linked to this through an article on CNBC, of all places. I haven’t done any kind of a deep dive on it yet, but I’m sure the usual commentators will be diving into it really soon now:

    I’ve noticed in the last few days that the legacy media and the “official authorities” have been taking another run against IVM.

    I guess I projected a little too much of my “inner object state”, albeit a favorable projection, onto you.

    You replied to me: “Dr D Rich, a corollary of the observation, though, is that if we’re still around to notice it, we’re not so influential as to be a threat.”

    I hoped that my description of a malevolent actor’s intent was embodied in the term ‘deracinate’ as in “uproot (someone) from their natural geographical, social, or cultural environment. I failed and that’s okay.
    The perpetrator’s destruction of the ‘influential individual’ takes on greater meaning to the intended audience as a Demonstration Project. The demonstration project as applied is intended to degrade the audience’s behavior to and opinion of the target. The target in turn is made to distrust themselves which indeed is an insidious introjection of self-doubt and unwarranted self-condemnation.
    Worst of all the target is often made to move from one entry level job to another for example as a supposed manifestation of their lost influence. Double binds, circular arguments and cognitive dissonance all manifest. Their’s is a team sport often taking on magical qualities akin to blackmail or a wicked curse.
    Resistance is difficult particularly when family, friends and employer participate.

    Regarding the “end of energy”, a useful post was put up by a TAE community member a few weeks ago. (Whoever you are, please forgive me for failing to credit you properly.) In the post was a thought experiment where it was assumed that the planet was completely hollow and filled with oil. From there, assuming exponential growth of demand continuing on its present course, oil would run out in 300 years.

    I thought this was elegantly simple, and pretty much removes the need to figure out where oil comes from or how much there is. Even if the planet is completely full of oil already, AND it is all economically recoverable, that puts an outside limit on just how far we as a civilization can go with oil.

    Ukrainians who have fled the country amid Russia’s military offensive should not return home before spring, Deputy Prime Minister Irina Vereshchuk said on Tuesday.

    NATO has stolen your country and you are not welcome there any more…. so read between the lines and don’t make any plans to return.

    FIFY.

    Russia testing the ‘big boy’ nuclear missiles the past week.

    Just making sure they actually work properly.

    They can fired them down the length of 12 time zones to a target, just to confirm accuracy too.

    The excerpt entitled “5 Thoughts on the Globa Dictatorship” by Paul Cudenec struck a strong chord with me, in particular this: “[it] deeply offends my ethical aesthetics of honour, justice, truthfulness and value.”

    One aesthetic he doesn’t mention as such but which is clearly visible in his writing is that of Beauty.

    The various global systems of governance and politics, trade and commerce and economics, media and entertainment, even religion, all strike me as not merely oppressive and polluting and contaminating, as Cudenec writes, but also as Ugly. Simply UGLY. None is a joy to behold nor contemplate; all are to be endured rather than enjoyed; they depress rather than uplift; destroy rather than build.

    The theologian N.T. Wright has I think analysed the situation well. (Please set aside for a moment your scepticism that anything good can come from a theology.) He posits:

    There are seven features of human life, which can be observed across different societies and times. I name these ‘vocations’, though they are often present as inarticulate aspirations and impulsions. We know them in our bones….

    The seven are Justice, Beauty, Freedom, Truth and Power, Spirituality, and Relationships. Our modern word ‘religion’ doesn’t get near this complex of categories, which may be why many today leave ‘religion’ alone. The point about all seven, to put it crudely, is that we all know they matter but we all have trouble with them.

    Source

    Justice? Too little.
    Freedom? Badly eroded.
    Truth? Stands far off.
    Power? Grossly misapplied.
    Spirituality? Flaccid.
    Relationships? Stolen.

    How do we turn this around? I am trying but I can do only a very little.

    We’re also seeing significant global demand for advanced air defesnse systems, especially in Eastern Europe, as the Russians and Ukraine conflict, unfortunately, continues.

    You have to wonder why the CEO of Raytheon would include “unfortunately” in that sentence. The company makes weapons of war, weapons designed to kill people, weapons that increase in demand with the increase in war. Shareholders are profiting off of those wars by profiting off of the lethality of the weapons that Raytheon makes. So why would the CEO describe more demand as unfortunate? It is like an icre-cream manufacturer saying “unfortunately children are now wanting even more ice-cream”. Does the CEO think that this approach forgives the CEO for his role in intentionally producing death? Does this make the CEO innocent, so that he can think that the black jogger who held up his wife at gun point is in some way inferior to her husband? Human capacity for self delusion is amazing, especially when it is your job to do bad stuff.
