    • China’s Marxist “Profound Revolution” Is Here (Every)

    Authoritarianism ⇒ Healthier society
    “freedom” ⇒ Decadence

    … what a shocker.

    Healthier lifestyles need to be imposed top-down.
    (… what a surprise: what else can the populace do with free will other than to become overweight, dumber and generally obnoxious?)

    More worrying/annoying, IMHO, is the threshold of gullibility that was crossed and stands as a clear point of no return (that will only be solved through violence.)

    @userzeroid

    No worries, no ire from me (maybe because i’m not an expert.)

    Optimists, realists, pessimists, they’re all alike: they gaze endlessly at their belly buttons and cogitate, “what a wonderful view!”

    We all do the same: we spend a lifetime doing our best to satisfy our needs, justify our blunders and boast our petty achievements and then… fear, maybe relief and finally oblivion…

    And if anyone reading this is thinking they did what they did to improve the lives of future generations all I can say to you is you still have a lot to learn.

    Cuban oil, eh?
    Wonder why those pesky communists don’t drill it to their hearts’ content (not to mention why did the soviets skipped the chance)… not even the ‘Muricans did it whilst Cuba was just another protectorate… saving it for future generations, maybe?

    @oxymoron

    One thing which is possible to infer from Rear Admiral Rickover’s speech is that he was not the only one aware of the facts imparted in the allocution:

    But the most significant distinction between optimistic and pessimistic fuel reserve statistics is that the optimists generally speak of the immediate future – the next twenty-five years or so – while the pessimists think in terms of a century from now. A century or even two is a short span in the history of a great people. It seems sensible to me to take a long view, even if this involves facing unpleasant facts.

    For it is an unpleasant fact that according to our best estimates, total fossil fuel reserves recoverable at not over twice today’s unit cost, are likely to run out at some time between the years 2000 and 2050, if present standards of living and population growth rates are taken into account. Oil and natural gas will disappear first, coal last. There will be coal left in the earth, of course. But it will be so difficult to mine that energy costs would rise to economically intolerable heights, so that it would then become necessary either to discover new energy sources or to lower standards of living drastically.
    Rear Admiral Hyman Rickover’s May 14, 1957 speech to the Minnesota State Medical Association (excerpt)

    Preparations have been on the wing at least since the 1950’s…

    Two things TAE Summary left out from the sharp comment:
    1. The entities behind the current events have real power.
    2. They are going to accomplish a global population reduction.

    The only doubt remaining: will a major armed conflict/destruction be avoided?
    If it can, then TPTB have pulled a fast one – chapeau…

    There’s no Covid-19, only fear-laced flu, fear that has been ramped up by decades of indoctrination/brainwashing by the medical-pharmaceutical racket.

    Up until 2019, nobody was afraid of catching a cold, of having the flu: for most it was only a mild inconvenience, a minor upset. Now, at the least flu symptom, almost everyone immediately believes to have caught the Covid and then, automatically, the fear kicks in, working its wonders through the psyche and – spiked by it – through the immune system of those who get sick.

    I’m sorry if I’ve made a dent in your shiny perception of reality (or in your favourite pastime.)

    The Shadow used to have natural outlets (e.g., hunting, the occasional brawls) to exert its tendencies and reset the personality’s stability; nowadays, there’s simply too much Shadow restraining and the Shadow reveals itself mainly through insanity.

    If the main driver of any living species is to replicate itself, who is smarter: the inventor or the fornicator?
    (One thing is certain: the latter is way more eco-friendly than the former and – if statistics is a thing with real-world implications – someone with an overall better sex life.)

    If you got the “jab” then worry about yourself and not about the levelheaded.
    If you didn’t got it, then you are just a stooge.
    Either way, you are a fool: there’s no such thing as “saving lifes”, only vain attempts at postponing death.

    Vaccines are useless.(?)

    “Vaccines are useless for postponing death; vaccines are useful for bringing death forward.””

    There, fixed it for you.

    This dovetail nicely with the Great Reset crew: maybe they’re not that smart but they have enough brains to deal with the mindless populace (and these can never be underestimated – pls cf. Carlo Cipolla’s The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity.)

    Carefully crafted plan or paroxysmal collective madness* – does it matter?
    The real goalposts are unbudgeable, inexorable and were fixed from day one.
    Pain and pleasure are transient, death the only certainty.
    People clinging to the elusive while acting as if the definite doesn’t exist remains an enigma.

    * Unfortunately, madness has become omnipresent on both aisles of the debate, as one can clearly see by the rampant obsession amongst the TAE commentariat.

    Education is progress’s main drive. (False)

    University enrollment has grown exponentially during the past fifty years. During the same period human knowledge has had, at best, an arithmetic progression. Meanwhile, two other things have registered a global exponential growth: debt and fiat currency. Corollary: mass education = massive irresponsibility.
    (Mass education is the paradigm of the law of diminishing returns.)

    Regardless of what you do (ivermectin, vaccines, masks, science, progress, religion), living is hazardous to your health; looking at a newborn child, every mother should ponder this.

    Stick & Carrot = Fear & Hope

    What would you do if you had real power and you knew the remaining fossil fuels are below the ERoEI threshold required to keep civilization chugging along?*

    The plan:
    TPTB are trying to extend homo sapiens sapiens shelf life while preserving as many current civilizational arrangements as possible.
    How?
    By reducing the number of living human beings to what TPTB estimates is Earth’s carrying capacity.
    Why the toxin (spike protein)?
    Because TPTB sees this as the more humane possible way to carry out their intents: after all, convincing people to sterilize/incapacitate/kill themselves by their own volition beats war hands down as another possible solution.

    Of course this is moot if you see TPTB as just another conspiracy theory – you just need to ask yourself: ‘How was it possible to such disparate governments around the world to act in unison?’

    Perhaps hard to accept, but is it so hard to understand?

    From Golgafrincham to Leibowitz… we all die in the end

    Don’t fret

    * Keep in mind that to turn energy production into 100% renewables you need first to use fossil fuels to build the required (as yet insufficient/nonexistent) infrastructure.

    NSW Health Official Tells Australians To Refrain From Talking To People (RT)

    Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant: the portrait of someone who has not experienced a single happy day in her entire life (up until now). Now, she is in a position where she can infect large swaths of her compatriots with her special brand of misery – who’s laughing now?

    Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

    While we, the members of the sanctimonious crowd, kept ourselves intoxicated on our self-righteousness, we left the crooks and other scum of the Earth take over the positions of power, and now we complain… Why? Are we going cold turkey?
    Time perhaps to reassess where to place the blame on and also to reassess the meaning we ascribe to certain concepts, such as coherence.
