Samo Burja looks at Gobekli Tepe, a 12,000 year old neolithic Site, highly organized, made of stone, which predates the current estimates of large scale agriculture, which could have fed enough workers to make it. It was a big, long term, well organized construction project. How did this happen?
Samo posits that our main resource, for many millennia, has been our organizational talents, and that we should see our species more clearly in this regard.
Our assumptions about ourselves may be in error, so we would mis-project our future performance in hard times. We should seek to know ourselves well.More quick facts about Gobekli Tepe:

Since the very start of the great pandemic of 2020, something about the public health response didn’t feel right. It was clear from the measures that were enacted and from measures that were not enacted that their purpose had little to do with public health. Instead, they seemed to further a different agenda. Soon we learned that this was all connected to World Economic Forum’s hugely ambitious Fourth Industrial Revolution or the Great Reset. But the agenda and the steps taken seemed rushed, panicked and frankly, hopeless.
Many of the solutions and technologies that would need to be rolled out and ready to use turned out to be non-existent or only in conceptual stages of development.
As months went on, the events proved this impression correct as we watched the authorities muddle through, destroying their own credibility in the process. In a very recent interview Dr. Rainer Fullmich stated as follows: “We have a whistleblower and she told us that the original plan was to roll this out in 2050. But then those who are involved with this got greedy and pulled things forward to 2030 and then to 2020 and that’s why so many mistakes are happening.”
I do not believe that the people involved with this got greedy — I believe that their concern is with the fragility and imminent demise of the financial system which is their key mechanism of control over all the levers of influence in society. The implosion of that system would also jeopardize their position of power, so they rushed the Great Reset right off the back of the 2020 pandemic to try and front-run the collapse and give themselves an iron-fisted control of things ahead of the unfolding crisis…

That’s is all they can do in the structure they have composed.
They can hurt us worse, right away, if we resist bleeding.

Photo of Jenny in the Yoakum garden yesterday morning between rain showers is included.The blame for the “Great Reset” needs to be squarely placed on COVID before the “reset” is felt, so it can proceed as planned.. John Ward elucidates.
This development was inevitable, because the ‘It wuz de covid wot dun it’ masquerade stood far less chance of flying if “authoritative” sources were saying that SarsCovid2 was no longer a serious threat. It is imperative for the directors of this sham that Covid19 should resurge and create a completely related dip in investment confidence prior to global disaster, not afterwards.
At the American Institute for Economic Research site yesterday I read this quote:
“Covid19 hit a robust, many would say healthy world economy”
The AIER is one of the oldest and most respected nonpartisan economic research and advocacy venues in the world, founded under FDR in 1933. But that statement ranks among the greatest lumps of blue blithering codswallop I’ve ever read. It. simply. is. not. true. But I think we’re going to see a lot more rubbish on that scale; it is interesting that already, the business media are predicting massive inflation and counter-productive interest rate rises as the inevitable result of ‘panicky covid expenditure by politicians’. Same word – ‘panicky’ – in the mix, and I’ve seen it three times now in four days. Build Back Better. The Great Reset.
The Covid factor. Greatest threat in peacetime history.
therealslog.com/2021/05/16/the-covid-power-the-fa-cup-glory/Whitney Webb lays out specific agreements and terms between western central banking and social media regarding the very important management of perceptions during the upcoming financial collapse and reset. COVID-done-it, of course, but the triggering spark will be organized crime or state level cyber-attack/hacking by Lee Harvey Oswald or Castro’s Cuba...
In November 2020, the World Economic Forum and Carnegie Endowment for International Peace coproduced a report that warned that the global financial system was increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. Advisers to the group that produced the report included representatives from the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, the International Monetary Fund, Wall Street giants such as JPMorgan Chase, and Silicon Valley behemoths such as Amazon.
The ominous report was published just months after the World Economic Forum had conducted a simulation of just such an event—a cyberattack that brings the global financial system to its knees—in partnership with Russia’s largest bank, which is due to jumpstart that country’s economic transformation by launching its own central bank–backed digital currency…
The report then ominously concludes that “one thing is clear: it is not a question of if a major incident will happen, but when.“
The report’s authors argue that, “in the event of a crisis,” such as a devastating cyberattack on the global banking system, “social media companies should swiftly amplify communications by central banks” so that central banks may “debunk fake information” and “calm the markets.” It also states that “financial authorities, financial services firms and tech companies [presumably including social media companies] should develop a clear communications and response plan focused on being able to react swiftly.” Notably, both Facebook and Twitter are listed in the report’s appendix as “industry stakeholders” that have “engaged” with the WEF-Carnegie initiative.
The report also asserts that premeditated coordination for such a crisis between banks and social media companies needs to take place so that both stakeholders may “determine what severity of crisis would necessitate amplified communication.” The report also calls for social media companies to work with central banks to “develop escalation paths similar to those developed in the wake of the past election interference, as seen in the United States and Europe.”
Of course, those “escalation paths” involved wide-ranging social media censorship. The report seems to acknowledge this when it adds that “quick coordination with social media platforms is necessary to organize content takedowns.” Thus, the report is calling for central banks to collude with social media platforms to plan out censorship efforts that would be enacted if a sufficiently severe crisis occurs in financial markets.

Pepe Escobar explains why Henry Kissinger must have lost the diplomatic plot...
At a recent forum in Arizona, referring to the festering, larger than life Sino-American clash, Henry the K. said, “It’s the biggest problem for America; it’s the biggest problem for the world. Because if we can’t solve that, then the risk is that all over the world a kind of cold war will develop between China and the United States.”…
Kissinger added U.S. policy toward China must be a mix of stressing U.S. “principles” to demand China’s respect and dialogue to find areas of cooperation: “I’m not saying that diplomacy will always lead to beneficial results…This is the complex task we have… Nobody has succeeded in doing it completely.”
Henry the K. actually must have lost the – diplomatic – plot. What Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov are now involved in, full time, is to demonstrate – mostly to the Global South – how the American-enforced “rules-based international order” has absolutely nothing to do with international law and the respect of national sovereignty...
Mr. S., in a quite intriguing fashion, seems to be expressing the collective views of a number of extremely qualified people. Right from the start, he points out how Henry the K.’s observations explain today’s Russia-China-Iran triangle.
The first point that we make is that it was not Kissinger who created policy for Nixon, but the Deep State. Kissinger was just a messenger boy. In the 1972 situation the Deep State wanted to get out of Vietnam, which policy was put in place as containment of communist China and Russia. We were there based on the domino theory...
The Deep State wanted to achieve a number of objectives in approaching Chairman Mao, who was antagonized by Russia. It wanted to ally in 1972 with China against Russia. That made Vietnam meaningless, for China would become the containing party of Russia and Vietnam no longer meant anything. We wanted to balance China against Russia. Now, China was not a major power in 1972 but it could drain Russia, forcing it to place 400,000 troops on their border. And our Deep State policy worked. We in the Deep State had thought it through, and not Kissinger. 400,000 troops on the Chinese border was a drain on their budget, as later Afghanistan became with over 100,000 troops, and the Warsaw Pact had another 600,000 troops...
So where does Kissinger in Arizona fit in?
Now, Kissinger reflects the Deep State angst on the Russia-Chinese relationship and wants this split up for dear life. This is interestingly covered here by Kissinger. He does not want to tell the truth about balance of power realities. He describes them as “our values”, when the U.S. has no values left but anarchy, looting, and burning down hundreds of cities. Biden hopes to buy all these disenfranchised masses as money printing goes wild.
So we are back to Kissinger shocked at the new Russian-Chinese alliance. They must be separated.
Now, I do not agree with the balance of power intriguers in that morality or noble values should govern international relations, and not power. The U.S. has been following balance of power dreams since 1900 and now it faces economic ruin. These ideas do not work. There is no reason the U.S. cannot be a friend of Russia and China and the differences can be worked out. But you cannot get to first base as balance of power considerations dominate everything. That is the tragedy of our time.
http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2021/05/12/insider-view-tragedy-of-us-deep-state/The Jeff and Bill(s) Club: (There was this other Bill, too…)
A former Jeffrey Epstein insider claims that Bill Gates was a regular at the notorious pedophile’s $77 million Manhattan townhouse, where Epstein held “men’s club” – type gatherings for his closest pals.
For Gates, “Going to Jeffrey’s was a respite from his marriage. It was a way of getting away from Melinda” according to one of two insiders, who came forward to the Daily Beast to break what we’re guessing is the first rule of elite pedo-lair club...
According to the report, Gates and Epstein traded advice over their respective problems, while Gates ” met a rotating cast of bold-faced names and discussed worldly issues in between rounds of jokes and gossip—a “men’s club” atmosphere that irritated Melinda.”

Your wife might shed spike protein after vaccination, but not virus.
I’m not sure how much spike protein gets shed.
Nobody who has that information (Pfizer, et al) is sharing it.
It is clear that people who get vaccinated can get more than one kind of allergic or immune system reaction.
Those who have had COVID tend to get more, but many people will already have potential triggers to other elements of the vaccine than the spike protein, also.
I have been advising people against a second shot in circumstances like this.
It’s unnecessary and it may provoke an even greater adverse reaction upon the second challenge to the primed immune system.
It’s really better not to do it again.
(If she is convinced to accept it, anyway, she should dose with antihistamine, like levocetirizine 5 mg twice (more) per day for any such reaction. Have it ready.)@Phoenix Voice:
The receptors that are relevant in the case of Blood Type A, are the associated proteins in the lung, not the one that shows on the red blood cells. The red blood cell blood type testing is a marker for the lung vulnerability. The lung cells of blood type A people are easier for SARS-CoV-2 to invade.
This means they get COVID pneumonia easier, not that they catch COVID easier.
Take vitamin-D. Work on stopping it in the nose.@Absolute Galore:
The specific antiviral activities (multiple) of ivermectin are a separate matter from whether the innate-immune-system response is effective at preventing systemic illness, which is what protects about 81% of people.
Your sister should assure vitamin-D adequacy by taking 5000 units/d long term, and if just beginning, taking 10,000 units per day for the first 2 months.
There is more than one prophylactic protocol for ivermectin, but weekly seems to be ideal. Every 2 weeks is almost as good.
Start with 1 mg per 11# body weight on days #2 nd #2, then take that same 1 mg per 11# once per week after that.Another scientific nugget, “8th Day Treatment” A conventional approach to early treatment is to suggest that intervention in the first 3 to 5 days is key to curbing the progression of the disease. Here, what Dr Chetty indicates is that there is a second and maybe even more important window for implementing early treatment, which is not mutually exclusive from the first window. It’s to aggressively begin treatment on the eighth day of the disease, with corticosteroids and anti-histamines, if the patient has not fully recovered yet from the disease.
This symptoms oriented approach to treating COVID-19 helps to address the complex issue of risk stratification, and to answer the question of who to treat and who not to treat. For Dr Chetty, the severity of COVID-19 is likely related to a hypersensitivity reaction to a previous exposure to SARS-CoV-2 or a similar virus, rather than just age or presence of comorbidities.
According to Dr Chetty, this explains why there are younger people suffering from severe forms of the disease in the second wave of the pandemic. But this also provides for a therapeutic solution: even if no early antiviral treatment was given at first symptoms, or such anti-viral treatment did not prove effective, it’s still possible to treat aggressively the disease, on the eighth day, at the very beginning of the inflammatory phase, with a cocktail of corticosteroids and antihistamines. In most instances, this 8th day treatment can still be done on an outpatient basis… “Very early on, I understood that the dyspnea that sets in seems to have a specific time in the disease. It was very quick in onset, there was differences in speed and severity, but it always seemed to present on the 8th day.”
“Some of the patients recovered by the 7th day and had none of the symptoms that occurred from the 8th day onwards.”
“From very early on, I was of the opinion we were dealing with some kind of hyper-sensitivity reaction. … Quite early on, I started steroids and patients improved … and then I attempted antihistamines.”… “Irrespective of that improvement, there were patients who developed dyspnea on the 8th day. The dyspnea that developed had no bearing on the severity in the initial 7 days.”
“I had patients that had a sore throat on the first day, it resolved on the second, they spent the rest of the week perfectly fine, engaging in strenuous activities. And then on the 8th day, they started to notice in the morning the onset of dyspnea, and by the afternoon, were completely breathless and showing drops in their oxygen saturation.”
“I started to treat this as an hypersensitivity reaction. I found that the antihistamines, particularly antihistamine 1 & 2 blockers, for the respiratory and gastro-intestinal tracts respectively, showed great benefit, immediately.” … “My work showed that we are dealing with a bi-phasic illness: a viral illness during the first 7 days, and on the 8th day, some sort of trigger of hyper-sensitivity, that leads to a release of mediators, histamine being one of them.” …
“My protocol quickly evolved to include ecotrin/aspirin and montelukast” “With hyper-sensitivity, the most important thing is to start treatment early. The longer you leave it, the cascade of mediators will result in other sequalae and culminate into a cytokine storm.”
“But like with other hyper-sensitivity reactions, if caught early, they are easy to cut in.”
“So my entire focus became the eighth day. When patients came into my practice, I would Interrogate them about the onset of the symptoms, the exact day they started feeling unwell.” … “That allowed me to run certain testing, to see if I am dealing with a complete switch on that day. The common blood tests that I ran are CRPs and Interleukin 6. I found drastic changes from the 6th day to the 9th day. It showed something was happening at the time that was showing a spike in these inflammatory markers.” https://covexit.com/the-8th-day-therapy-for-covid-19/Pursuant to the blood type debate that didn’t happen recently:
Prior research has shown that the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 facilitates cell entry through
interactions between ACE2 and its RBD, the protein on the surface of the virus that binds to
host cells and is responsible for infection. In this study, the investigators hypothesized that
the SARS-CoV-2 RBD might interact with other molecules, including blood group antigens.
“It is interesting that the viral receptor-binding domain (RBD) only really prefers the type of
blood group A antigens that are on respiratory cells, which are presumably how the virus is
entering most patients and infecting them,” said study author Sean R. Stowell, MD, PhD, of
Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.

Trying to leave out what y’all already saw…Matt Taibbi follows up with what appears to be the complete victory of the deep state, upon obtaining ownership of the free-press, or imprisoning those not-for-sale:
Fast forward seven years. Julian Assange is behind bars, and may die there. Snowden is in exile in Russia. Brennan, Clapper, and Hayden have been rehabilitated and are all paid contributors to either MSNBC or CNN, part of a wave of intelligence officers who’ve flooded the airwaves and op-ed pages in recent years, including the FBI’s Asha Rangappa, Clint Watts, Josh Campbell, former counterintelligence chief Frank Figliuzzi and former deputy director Andrew McCabe, the CIA’s John Sipher, Phil Mudd, Ned Price, and many others…
After the Capitol riots of January 6th, the War on Terror came home, and “domestic extremists” stepped into the role enemy combatants played before. George Bush once launched an all-out campaign to pacify any safe haven for trrrsts, promising to “smoke ‘em out of their holes.” The new campaign is aimed at stamping out areas for surveillance-proof communication*, which CNN security analyst and former DHS official Juliette Kayyem described as any online network “that lets [domestic extremists] talk amongst themselves.” (*Formerly, “freedom of speech”)
Reporters pledged assistance, snooping for evidence of wrongness in digital rather than geographical “hidey holes.”
https://taibbi.substack.com/p/reporters-once-challenged-the-spy-a32Pepe Escobar on Ukrainian situation. [Zelensky, Talk To Putin!]
Leaked info on the closed-door meeting between Blinken and Comedian-in-Charge Zelensky is no less than incandescent. Blinken seemed to have read a no holds barred riot act.
Here are the guidelines. All Ukrainian state corporations must be controlled by the proverbial “foreign interests”. So board majorities must be either foreign or 5th columnists. The entire anti-corruption vertical drive must also be foreign-controlled. Same for the judicial system.
Andriy Kobolyev – an American asset – must be reinstated as head of Naftogaz. Zelensky moved mountains to get rid of Kobolyev.
Blinken demanded a massive push against every Ukrainian oligarch, so that huge chunks of Ukrainian economy are transferred to – who else – foreigners. Same for land privatization.
Somewhat hilariously, Blinken warned that Russian troops might invade Ukraine. In this case, Zelensky can count only on huge political assistance, not military. So Zelensky in fact was ordered to stop asking to join NATO and cease provoking Russia, as President Putin, who already drew red lines, could make a “drastic decision”.
Blinken demanded that American assets should be untouchable by Ukrainian law, and named honored figures of civil society. Maidan cookie distributor Victoria “F**k the EU” Nuland, also in the room, drew up a list of The Untouchables, and Blinken met with them separately.
Finally, the giant ghost hanging over the whole trip to Kiev had to make itself known. In practice, Zelensky was invited to turn in everyone in Ukraine who helped bring information about Hunter Biden to the media via Rudolph Giuliani.Making the world safe for the Devil.

First, thanks for seeing if India can send some calcifediol.
Second, here is an excerpted summary of a link posted yesterday:Ed Curtain puts a face on perspective, as the Wars Against Terror come home to turn terrorized Americans against each other. (Let’s don’t, ok?) Thanks Jeremy. The executive director of the U.S. cover story – the fictional 9/11 Commission Report – was Philip Zelikow, who controlled and shaped the report from start to finish.
It is even less well known that Zelikow, a professor at the University of Virginia, was closely associated with Condoleezza Rice, George W. Bush, Dickey Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Brent Scowcroft, et al. and had served in various key intelligence positions in both the George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush administrations. In 2011 President Obama named him to his President’s Intelligence Advisory Board as befits bi-partisan elite rule and coverup compensation across political parties.
Perhaps it’s unknown or just forgotten that The Family Steering Committee for the 9/11 Commission repeatedly called for Zelikow’s removal, claiming that his appointment made a farce of the claim that the Commission was independent.
Zelikow said that for the Commission to consider alternative theories to the government’s claims about Osama bin Laden was akin to whacking moles. This is the man, who at the request of his colleague Condoleezza Rice, became the primary author of (NSS 2002) The National Security Strategy of the United States of America, that declared that the U.S. would no longer abide by international law but was adopting a policy of preemptive war, as declared by George W. Bush at West Point in June 2002…….The Biden administration has directed its resources inward toward domestic “terrorists”: that is, anyone who disagrees with its policies. This is especially aimed at those who question the COVID-19 story. Now Zelikow has been named to head a COVID Commission Planning Group based at the University of Virginia that is said to prepare the way for a National COVID Commission…. Zelikow, a member of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s Global Development Program Advisory Panel, will lead the group that will work in conjunction with the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security at the Bloomberg School of Public Health… Zelikow’s involvement, among other things, suggests we are in the second phase of a long war of terror waged with two weapons – military and medical – whose propaganda messaging is carried out by the corporate mainstream media in the pursuit of the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset… Please do not recall The Nuremberg Code. Especially number 7: “Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability or death.” (my emphasis)
“Now is the time to just do what you are told,” as Anthony Fauci so benevolently declared… We are now in a long war with two faces. As with the one justified by the mass murders of September 11, 2001, this viral one isn’t going away.

Indians have considerably worse and more prevalent rates of vitamin-D deficiency than Black Americans!You may recall the Spanish study last year:
Seventy-six patients (45 men (59%) and 31 women) were enrolled in the study and randomized: 26 without calcifediol treatment, 50 with calcifediol treatment (Fig. 1). Mean age was 53 ± 10 (mean ± SD) years, being 54 ± 9 years for men and 51 ± 11 years for women. There was no significant gender difference in age between patients in each group (p = 0.09)…
At baseline, there was no significant difference in number of subjects with at least one risk factor. Patients assigned to calcifediol were slightly (not significantly) older, whereas the control group had a higher percentage of hypertension (Table 2).
Among 26 patients not treated with calcifediol, thirteen required ICU admission (50%), while out of fifty patients treated with calcifediol only one required admission to the ICU, whereas the other patients remained in conventional hospitalization…
Of the patients treated with calcifediol, none died, and all were discharged, without complications. The 13 patients not treated with calcifediol, who were not admitted to the ICU, were discharged. Of the 13 patients admitted to the ICU, two died and the remaining 11 were discharged.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960076020302764?via%3DihubA participant on the C-19D list (Dr. McCullough’s listserv) posted a site for purchase of calcifediol in the US/Canada “d.velop”.
d.velop
Their site is very glossy and does not show a product information level.
We are not their target demographic. I’m sure.
The fact that d.velop is selling calcifediol in the US means that it’s not illegal to do so.I wonder if somebody in India will send it in bulk, and larger doses.
The best I can tell, d.velop are selling 60 pills of 10 mcg each, for about $20 + shipping., which is 3.3 cents per mcg..
Rayaldee, which I just now discovered, is prescription calcifediol in the US. It costs about $1200 for 900 mcg, which is about $1.30 per mcg.Here is some, it it takes…
The Jackpot Chronicles Scenario #4: Atlas Shrugged (Um, ok, but how can you assume there will be a working internet or cryptocurrency under such conditions?)
It occurred to me that I never did finish the final instalment of last summer’s Jackpot Chronicles, wherein I posited four possible post-Covid scenarios...
Under the Atlas Shrugged scenario, deglobalization is just one of numerous motivating factors, but it’s mainly an outcome of a larger dynamic where all non-ruling factions in society lose faith in the prevailing structure of Neoliberal Globalism (a.k.a “Mr. Global”). With Mr. Global’s viability in question, people begin to look for the exits.
This begins to occur on two fronts. What Vilfredo Pareto called “the non-governing elites” begin to realize that the system which used to accommodate them, even rely on their tacit support, is now becoming hostile toward them. At the very least, the ruling elites are undermining their interests. This is part of the dynamic of Peter Turchin’s “elite overpopulation” that we looked at recently.
The other front is the comparatively powerless underclass, which, in pace with Pareto’s Theory of Elite Cycles, lose their moorings and standing within the system they are expected to adhere to. The social contract no longer seems to be a matter of middle-class protections and living standards but instead becomes starkly authoritarian and one-sided. What is clear is that the existing institutions are now functioning to defend the position of the overclass, not to uphold the rights and liberties of the underclass.
The culmination of multiple super-cycles (Pareto’s Elite Cycles, Turchin’s long term dynamics of sociopolitical instability, debt, a Fourth Turning, and a Maunder Minimum for good measure) combined with an accelerated onslaught of technological innovation: Internet, crypto-currencies …biotech? Nanotech? Micro nuke? Fusion? Quantum computing? We have all the necessary components for a complete breakdown of existing institutions and the total loss of legitimacy of the current governing elite class...
In spite of this, Mr. Global’s prevailing policymakers and governance structures will frantically maneuver and spin narratives of fear and fantasy in order to keep the existing system on the rails...
Nation state establishments within the twilight of a declining system should be thinking deeply about their place in the new reality of network states, not pontificating how they will lord over this new landscape. The coming system will be multipolar in not just the geopolitical dimension, but across cyberspace and the network dimensions as well.

http://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/gasoline-prices-soar-after-colonial-gives-no-timetable-hacked-pipeline-restartWith fears growing that the Colonial shutdown could last for much longer than initially expected, with some analysts warning that a 5-day shutdown could lead to sharply higher prices, and the Biden admin activating a state of emergency to make sure that critical gasoline supplies continue to flow up the eastern seaboard, moments ago Colonial Pipeline issued an update on its attempts to restore operations, saying that “segments of our pipeline are being brought back online in a stepwise fashion” and that the goal now is to “substantially” restore operational service by the end of the week.

The Middle Eastern states, divided not by themselves but by the powers that colonised the region, are reorganising themselves according to their own logic. Of course these new alliances are still fragile, but the West will have to deal with them...
These changes, if they can be sustained, will take time. However, the United Arab Emirates and Israel on the one hand, and Saudi Arabia and Iran on the other, are now facing a new question: should they not all be prepared for a new danger: the expansionism of Turkey and Qatar?
This is why the United Arab Emirates and Israel have formed an alliance with Greece and Cyprus, while Saudi Arabia and Iran have entered into secret talks.
http://www.voltairenet.org/article212909.htmlNow it’s no secret that Saudi Arabia is talking peace with Iran and Syria:
This latest revelation and confirmation of Saudi-Iran talks also comes as the Saudis are reaching out the the Assad government in Damascus. Earlier this week on Tuesday multiple international reports revealed that Saudi Arabia’s powerful intelligence chief traveled to Damascus Monday to meet with his Syrian counterpart in what’s being seen as a major step toward detente. The two broke off relations since near the start of the war in 2011, especially as it became clear the Saudis were a key part of the Western allied push for regime change.

We don’t know who the cyber-warriors are.A higher ivermectin dose, twice as high per dose, and for longer:
Dr Vikas Sukhatme, the Dean of the School of Medicine at Emory University, got an article published today in The Times of India, presenting his personal views and not necessarily reflecting the views of the University.“Once you make these two changes, you will find that both fluvoxamine and ivermectin rapidly rise to the top of the list in terms of effectiveness and safety,” he writes.
“Both drugs should be given as early as possible (ideally before symptoms or as soon as possible after first symptoms) and at a sufficiently high enough dose and duration to be effective for the virus variants prevalent in India, which in this case would be 50 mg twice a day for fluvoxamine for 14 days and .4mg/kg per day for 7 days for ivermectin.”

Madamski is of the mind that TPTB are more reactionary than “Illuminated”.
They do have better information, since they are able to pay for it, and especially pay to hose-feed the rest of us bad-information.
Because of information asymmetry, they may look a lot more like they have a long term plan, a grand design.
The Chinese rulers do have 50 and 100 year plans.
5 years seems to be stretching it in the west, and quarterly profits are ingrained.
In the course of life, “unknown-unknowns” pop up, sometimes big ones.
Knowing about a polar reversal starting, and the weakening magnetic fields, and how that affects life forms 5 years before the herd finds out, would be a big information-asymmetry.
There would be no way to know, based on looking at actions of frantic, pearl-clutching elites, trying to cement their reins-of-power, that they were working toward such an end.
They would pull all imagined future wealth into the present, and throw it at whatever seemed likely to serve their near term interests.
That’s not unique.
Maybe they would look at responses to orders, under threat of death. They always do that.
Maybe they would see if they could do more economy with everybody staying indoors mor.
I’m grasping at straws, huh?

The strength of Earth’s magnetic field in the past, recorded by rocks and sediments, provides a proxy for past flux of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) to Earth’s surface due to the role of the field in modulating stratigraphic ozone. About 40,000 years ago, mammalian fossils in Australia and Eurasia record an important die‐off of large mammals that included Neanderthals in Europe. In the Americas and Europe, a large mammalian die‐off appears to have occurred ~13,000 years ago. Both die‐offs can be linked to minima in Earth’s magnetic field strength implying that UVR flux variations to Earth’s surface influenced mammalian evolution. For the last ~200,000 years, estimates of the timing of branching episodes in the human evolutionary tree, from modern and fossil DNA and Y chromosomes, can be linked to minima in field strength, which implies a long‐term role for UVR in human evolution. New fossil finds, improved fossil dating, knowledge of the past strength of Earth’s magnetic field, and refinements in the human evolutionary tree, are sharpening the focus on a possible link between UVR arriving at the Earth’s surface, magnetic field strength, and events in mammalian evolution.Well, that messed up a bit in transfer, and would not post the first time.
Space radiation all day, every day would change our patterns of life, and would likely knock out grids, internet and telecom a lot.
Eleni, in Athens, with access to army scuttlebut, says that the Greek military, from her vantage, ALL militaries are expecting massive war/tumult in about 2025.Why?
We know that oil is running low, and so on, and that the western financial regime is running on fumes and hopium (and Fed promises).That does not say “2025” Here is my musing about what may be predictably unpredictable about 2025.
It made me think of magnetic pole flip, as per my NASA friend, Mel, Mel is of the informed opinion that pole reversal has been an increasing concern in NASA for at least 2 decades, and suddenly more so recently.
This was the view in 2014:Scientists already know that magnetic north shifts. Once every few hundred thousand years the magnetic poles flip so that a compass would point south instead of north. While changes in magnetic field strength are part of this normal flipping cycle, data from Swarm have shown the field is starting to weaken faster than in the past. Previously, researchers estimated the field was weakening about 5 percent per century, but the new data revealed the field is actually weakening at 5 percent per decade, or 10 times faster than thought. As such, rather than the full flip occurring in about 2,000 years, as was predicted, the new data suggest it could happen sooner. www.livescience.com/46694-magnetic-field-weakens.html
Everything went silent in 2020 when the World Magnetic Model update came out.

The WMM was developed jointly by the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI, Boulder CO, USA) (formerly National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC)) and the British Geological Survey (BGS, Edinburgh, Scotland).The World Magnetic Model is the standard model used by the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.K. Ministry of Defence, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO), for navigation, attitude and heading referencing systems using the geomagnetic field. It is also used widely in civilian navigation and heading systems. The model, associated software, and documentation are distributed by NCEI on behalf of NGA. The model is produced at 5-year intervals, with the current model expiring on December 31, 2024.

“Regarding increased radiation, that would go along with decreased shielding, [but] it seems that the atmosphere would still provide sufficient shielding at Earth’s surface that humans and animals would not be significantly affected,” she told Space.com in an email. “However, all the effects we currently only see during strong solar/geomagnetic storms would likely increase and occur … during moderate solar activity,” she added. “This includes satellite outages or damage to satellites, increased radiation doses on long-distance aircraft and the ISS [International Space Station], [and] distortions of telecommunication and GPS signals. “Ongoing monitoring of the Earth’s geomagnetic field (which includes the pole) will continue after the WMM release, principally through the European Space Agency Swarm mission, Korte said. But she noted that measuring the north magnetic pole’s position is a challenge. That’s because the pole is located in a remote area and the measurement of Earth’s magnetic field is influenced by all magnetic-field sources — including the magnetic fields found in Earth’s atmosphere (the ionosphere and magnetosphere). “It will depend on the future magnetic field change, which we cannot predict, if another update to the model out of the usual schedule might be required,” she added. The next update to the WMM after this year’s is expected early in 2020, Beggan said. You can read more about the WMM here.
About that lack of harm to animals…
The most recent reversal of Earth’s magnetic field may have been as recent as 42,000 years ago, according to a new analysis of fossilised tree rings. This flip of the magnetic poles would have been devastating, creating extreme weather and possibly leading to the extinction of large mammals and the Neanderthals.
