Thanks for the “Capricornia”. Great tune while I never heard of the band before.
One think that I may add that all (8 mm) films are proverbial footage of their parents if not grandparents.Negative connotation, as reaction to this new lunatic plan, is on 15 minutes instead being clear that problem is restricted or forbidden movement beyond 15 minutes range. In addition to a small comment that I placed yesterday, one more time: there is nothing wrong and it is actually beneficial to have most of the basic needs covered within that range.
To crank a car, again, just you forgot the carton of milk is becoming evidently more and more ridiculous.15 minute city
Every ancient city in Europe that we “fall in love with” is “15 minute city”. All the basic groceries shopping is at walking distance. That may include local barber/hair dresser, baker and meat, pastry and coffee shops. Which, by the way, is not too different than concept that Ottomans had in Balkans and elsewhere, where smallest residential district in order to have it’s own name must have a Mesdžid (modestly built mosque), bakery and the barber shop. Homes with the walled courts and gardens provided the basic vegetables and fruits and means to keep poultry. All other major shopping took place in the city center market place and is associated as being “special event”. Pretty much in tune with current thinking of what the meaningful life is, expressed in the comment sections.
Being forbidden to venture beyond the 15 minute range is a new concept and totally different story.Graph of correlation between GDP and population income in the US, from 1900 to present is telling story of the “theft”. It started in the 70’s where, unlike before where the two appeared pretty congruent, the former took at almost 45 degree upward trajectory while the latter barely budged at about 7-8 degrees. We are talking about “38 degrees” , if you will, of massive theft from the workers.
In it’s late-stage accumulated contradictions of capitalism (Marx again), which is NOW, it is becoming more apparent and the working class in the USA are going: “Wha….who…what!!!”DBS (from yesterday)
I’ve never read any Marx.
Followed by:
That’s why “profit” is theft.
Well, you just (pretty close) quoted Marx.
Bit of art trivia for this Friday for those interested in art..
In the Church of Gesu in Rome there is a large canvas with scene of “Deposition” painted by the Bosnian artist Safet Zec.
He is secular Muslim who left the country marred in civil war and lives near Venice in Italy.
Just a prep studies, as shown at the beginning of video, are tour de force of contemporary realistic painting.
Formidable size canvas had it’s partial trip via Venice canal to it’s final destination.
Church itself is a sample of clear departure from Renaissance style and is considered as the first Baroque structure.
https://vimeo.com/105437972My reply did not go through so here it is again:
@hb-jbkultsommer, what point are you making though?
My puzzlement with your obsession with the Marx/comm taking over the US would be a good start.
All former socialist countries in Europe by now pretty much adopted Western capitalist system.
They dealt or may be still dealing with the remnants of an old system obligations like pensions. Transfer of former government owned production facilities was usually associated with shady privatization deals. New owners are pretty much in full sync with the Western oligarchs so, all in all, the new system is not socialist/communist any longer.
Now, if you or Dr D would stand at the street corner somewhere in the Budapest, Prague, Belgrade… and start giving a speech how the Marxists and communist, just like in the US, are taking over their countries you would not end up in the gulag but would definitely be institutionalized in mental health facility.jb-hb
That was early on – 20’s and 30’s – later, sending people to concentration camps was essentially administrative
“Later”, oddly, lasted until March of 1953, more or less, while the system continued into late 80’s.
Post revolutionary “clean-up” in 20’s, with momentous zeal, was similar to post French revolution and often associated with personal vendetta that was resolved under the cover of a new “law” put in place. Nothing new under the sun.
Carnage in 30’s was under the conductor stick of Stalin, also well documented way how to get rid of potential rivals throughout the history. Power for a psychopath is no guess game.
You love to live in the past, like in that movie “Midnight in Paris”.
To be an adjutant to Tsar Nicholas II? Car driver of archduke Ferdinand?
Ah the joy!COMMUNIST RULES FOR REVOLUTION
The list was aimed, as it appears to me, for the Western audience, since all the Countries that were communist became that in old and boring fashion way – rugged revolution. No Club 54 for them. I can imagine the price of Soviet porn, if existed, that it would have commanded now days!
Some other snippets:
Promotion of athletics. What’s wrong with that?
Promotion of democracy. They never did – it was always proudly stated that there is one and only system to be obeyed.
Now, there is that Tweeter entry right above – the polar opposite of the “List”.
The way some are capable to consolidate the two is nothing short of miracle.At Kunstler’s blog, at comments, one is asking Jim to provide him with PO Box address so he can send him postal money order as a support and appreciation for his bi-weekly writings. The way he explained, he does not want the domestic spy agencies to associate him as a supporter of host’s potentially controversial writings.
At replies to that trembling post nobody was appalled, yet. I was not sure weather to laugh or cry.Powerful poem – “democide”
Entire poem and especially this line is something for Dr Mattias Desmet lovers to ponder about:It was not spontaneous mass hysteria.
@jb-hb
With loss of one income, married couple sits in the kitchen and acknowledges the problem. That does not mean that they want their kids to “disappear” or, God forbid, that they were newer born.
Sample parabola should be easy to translate to the current global issues.
Something will need to give or crumble since we live in the monetary system that requires endless growth. We can not support that model and laugh on “Walmart people” at the same time. Or to scold on “Bullshit jobs”, term that David Graeber introduced us to, that are the only mean for existence for millions of people but created to support the mentioned economic model nevertheless.
Personally I would settle if people would stop throwing garbage just to about anywhere. It is easy and “free”.
My take.Listening to Jim at USwatchdog, I could not resist to Naomi Wolf’s apology.
So here it is:
https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/dear-conservatives-i-am-sorry
Compared to her berating of Twitter employees it seems odd to me, and rather sad:
https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/oh-ok-its-over?s=rUS is psychotic society. Watching absolute human wretches becoming insanely rich in just about any scheme, educated and smart, but not nearly as payed I guess, could not resist to a pull of power and money. As to answer Jim’s question as how in the world that she ended to be associated with Clinton’s shenanigans in the first place.
In another words, do be in rush too declare anybody as a hero.Yugoslavia.
Right after the Tito’s death country was swamped with “individuals” from the US that are suddenly immensely interested
in just about anything “Balkan” (read, probably, CIA assholes).
It is a long story, one of those was in our apartment. His interest, and apparent thesis, was Economy of Bosnia and Herzegovina between the two wars. He, “David”,ended up drinking with my father, an retired officer of YU-army. Both of them drunk bullshitting and not understanding the word that each was saying – an alcohol was unifying factor. Not to say that CIA pos ended dead drunk and unmovable for the following day and good part of the night. My father was worried as what was wrong with him..
True story.

Your YT post about Depleted Uranium describes how Col Douglas, happy smile contributor at the top of today’s blog, achieved a “swift victory” in both the Iraq and Kosovo. It would be impossible to believe that he had not known what kind of ammo is used and that soldiers under his command are equally exposed to it’s effects. Labeled a “star colonel” at wiki-pee and raking good $$ as war commentator by downgrading his own army, in a way, and glorifying the opponent is my view an act of treason, even though he’s right.https://www.shorpy.com/node/27010
Today Shorpy site batch offered this. People on the photo (or that era) would hardly have a need, or at least not in the capacity that we do, to visit the TAE. We, I think, congregate on this site and similar others, because there is a profound sense that “things are not right” out there. There is a hope that through the host’s offering(s) and even more so visitor’s comments that some kind of consensus about the predicament and possible solutions that may be reached.
Our opinions are expressed in various writing skill levels,although I would like ti point out that that hi or low skill level comes at the expense of something else that the person is good at.
One thing is for sure, we are all capable of posting a simple question to someone of opposing view. If that question does not get answered directly, given the limits of writing debate, than, I think, the discussion goes nowhere.

I’m Socratic about that sort of thing, in that I know that I know nothing.
So since you can not disapprove it, you simply do not like what the article claims?
Good reason to “roll your eyes” while reading it.Oh, and I am not an expert of the topic,but you are.
So, for the third time, enlighten me on where is he wrong?@DBS
…..Or it does NOT deserve to exist, in which case we should immediately assist each other in dropping dead……
Where that came from? Elite acknowledged the resource / energy / garbage problem and wants to do that, not the guy who sees the same problem and is sounding the alarm.
This excerpt from his article should concern you more than “monkeys in savanna”:….Peter Coy defines natural hydrogen as a “Gold Mine of Clean Energy Hiding Under our Feet…..
@Noriette
Beginning of the video brought memories of 1994 Winter Olympic games, figure skating contest where on American side there was that great idea of winning by braking the knee cap of the rival, while true winner was Russian Oksana Baiul,
I believe that most of us remember that dark blotch in the history of US sport.
BTW, before the games Oksana practiced in the ring with semi-melted ice, given the state that Russia was at the time.Maybe the most galling thing about these pretentious self proclaimed brainiacs is that they don’t actually know what the fuck they’re talking about,
Not a word to disapprove what Bardi had written other than disseminating the “wisdom” highlighted in bold, which reveals that mindless hatred goes beyond and is not triggered by the writings in this particular article only.
It is well documented as wide brush seething hatred for anything intellectual, “bookish” or “theoretical” that plagues the country.‘More masks than jellyfish’: coronavirus waste ends up in ocean
I In his arguments with AFKTT, jb-hb had stated that:
“Human existence and activities are nature.”
Something to that effect.Re: European combustible engine ban.
Luxury car makers want to exclude E-fuel from the ban.
On general Google search page, in that quick Q&A column, one will find both:Fuels are produced with electricity from renewable sources, water and CO2 and are a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.
The e-fuels production process is inherently inefficient, converting at best half of the energy in the electricity into liquid or gaseous fuels.
Latter was the one that I suspected as true, all along. Just as with solar and wind excluded from the fairy tale is the energy required for production of “apparatus”.
Just a test to see if the vax-injury theme can be posted without the TVASF sign-off,

“Two Laughing Boys….” Hardly a worthy customers. As most of his other subjects.
Over-toted fuzzy camera obscura had no ability of a “screen shot” as to catch momentarily expression on human face.
However. Hals did produce work with enough “juice” in it to be deemed as “true art”, whatever that is but defined with “one knows when he sees it” (to use famous quote by the judge in 60’s describing porn).Bland appearance of art work today has that unmistakable feel of an illustration that was flourishing in the mid years of the last century – decorating posters, magazines and the book covers.
That Canadian prepper (and not all but some others with “set up news operation”) is coming with ever more bombastic click-bite titles, just to have entire presentation with endless: “I am not saying that will happen but, guys, blah, blah…. ”
I confess I did not even bother to click on this one.I say it all the time. You did notice that government (system) collapsed and vanished 35 years ago, right?
There.
You said it.Then in 1991, 8 years later, communism hit the wall, …….
Aside of big possibility being labeled as a”looser” (by the measures of the system, not by me) phoenix’s recommended lifestyle is a death blow to the one that rely on (mindless) consumerism and unlimited growth.
Birth Rates Plunge in Heavily Vaccinated Countries
While true there is another aspect of looking at things. Last week end I was in the local mall. While my wife was checking for her “beauty necessities” i stepped into the Home Furnishing Store near by – the type with a lot of imports. In nearly deserted mall one of the few stores clinging on and even had a some customers and mostly couples. What caught my attention was the site of really young, almost teenagers. The way they were contemplating items in the store confirmed that there is a high level of commitment between them. Which brought me to sad thoughts as of what future lies for them?
Their marriage, vax and reproductive ability status becomes increasingly meaningless in the grand scheme of things that are unraveling. Just look how the “agenda” is still marching on and pretends that conversation with Bourla, during his hasty walk and hiding behind woman companion in Davos never happened. That his researcher literally revealed obvious criminality, which is not limited only to medical mafia. Atop of that we have a broken finance, problematic energy supply, resources depletion. Then there is possibility of war that some entities are itching for. In another words “interesting, but not prosperous, times lay ahead and hardly the inspiration for the desire to have an offspring.
All contrary to TVASF‘s relentless drum beat that un-vaxed are somehow exonerated from the troubles ahead. They do have, OK, “some advantage” which may disappear in the light of things that I mentioned.
Hope that I am wrong.@WES
My Dell-Chrome has no issues with TAE, other than acting “reluctant” to load as of recently. Other than web search I use it for all my e-mails too, since my work-horse computer I keep off-line.
