Any theories on why Hezbollah hasnt attacked? IDF is grinding on, seems to be going about as expected. From a strategic point, I don’t see an advantage in waiting to start a real second front.
Ignoring the aggressive pressure put on the Israelis – both US policy and Bibi – what off ramps are there? How can Israel scale back their response to Hamas and still save face?
@JSR – I think the more angry the masses are, the more scared they are. Being scared, we will accept more restrictions in the name of safety.
@Mr House. No disagreement on that front, though I would argue that the current level of indentured servitude is a feature not a bug. And in the theme from Bishko’s quote, its all part of the cycle driving more power into fewer hands.
Bishko – I think we are further along the timeline. In the U.S. (and much of the west), I would say we reached apathy in the 2000’s. No real push back against the Iraq war, little support for movements like Occupy Wallstreet or against the fraud and self-dealing of the 2008 financial collapse and bailout. A greater share of populations on are some form of government assistance and have been for generations in certain segments. As far as bondage, in the US there are debt slaves of many types. Student loans and medical debt are two of the bigger one.
Just my opinion, but perhaps its optimistic as we are closer to a spiritual awakening
@DBS – Is all of this banking crap over the weekend the Big One or not?
I say no, but it is one step closer. The general population (at least in the U.S.) is too complacent right now, there needs to be more emotional build up, like the BLM riots, before we get to the Big One.
@MPSK – turbo cancers are a feature not a bug, right? Seems like this could be used to explain the cancer spike from Vaxx, plus disrupt the supply chain again (will they outlaw all chemicals being moved by rail?) and it disrupts the food chain as all livestock and crops will be deemed unfit for human consumption.
Anyone have a good sense of the pressurization issue facing European natural gas? Ive read a few pieces that seem pretty straight forward, and multiple comments here. Generally, without incoming gas, that in storage cannot be displaced to points further down the pipeline. Figures suggest that Germany has say 90% of storage capacity filled, but will have significant trouble actually ‘pushing’ that gas to homes, factories etc.
Where i get confused is why this isnt a bigger deal? Is there actually a simple, already in place technical solution (e.g. storage has floating roofs that will compress)? Seems one way or the other its a big enough story that it should either be debunked or flagged as something that is being worked on.
All the recent talk of the ‘success’ of Ukraine’s counteroffensive reminds me of the charge of the light brigade, immortalized by Tennyson. An example of how history rhymes -same opponent and roughly same geography. Will the result be the same?
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!” he said.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.“Forward, the Light Brigade!”
Was there a man dismayed?
Not though the soldier knew
Someone had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
Rode the six hundred.Flashed all their sabres bare,
Flashed as they turned in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wondered.
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right through the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reeled from the sabre stroke
Shattered and sundered.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell.
They that had fought so well
Came through the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!For me, one of the most important lessons from going to church was the concept of gratitude (the other dogmatic parts of religion never really took). I think the simple act of expressing thanks before a meal seems to be in contrast to the materialistic, instant gratitude we are told to want and expect. Perhaps the coming hardships will serve to remind us to be grateful for even the smallest things in life.
Thank you RIM, as well as the community here, for giving of yourselves, sharing your views and providing a great example of what community can be. Not only has this place been an oasis of sanity for the past 2.5 years, I credit you all with keeping the clot shot out of me, possibly saving my life.
Last night John Day posted a few links that got me thinking about the next stage of events.
https://jessicar.substack.com/p/do-the-covid-19-injections-contain
They are both good articles (not necessarily new for readers of TAE), but what they are convincing me of is the intended malice. The first points to the fact that those jabbed but still alive will likely develop cancer and other serious health problems. Even if only affecting 10%, that would be 25 million in the US. The second shows that the data is concrete and that the government knows this.
I’ve been ‘optimistic’ (for lack of a better word), that the last two years are best explained by greed. Pharma, media, politicians, etc. were all making money through selling fear and vaxxes. Do not ascribe to malice that which can be explained by greed. But the data is screaming that the vaxxes kill and that those in power know. So even if it was an ‘oops’ initially (idiot sons of idiot sons doing what they do), the continued push must be to cause harm.
However, those who have refused the vaxx seem to be the sort that will cause the most problems for The Great Reset – don’t tread on me, second amendment supporting types. If you were going to cull the population, wouldn’t you need to get rid of the folks that own guns and don’t trust the government rather than having them be the ones left? This leads me to believe that the next move has to be pretty big in order to keep the trouble makers squarely under their thumb.
There are several big milestones this fall that will put real pressure on those in charge. First is the US midterm elections and predicted ‘red wave.’ I’m less confident this is a real concern for them as republicans taking congress could just be a smoke screen for the Uniparty. But winter is coming and there isn’t enough energy to heat homes in Europe (and possibly North America too). That cant be hidden by fake politics.
Perhaps the biggest pressure will be people waking up to how terrible these vaxxes are. We all know people who have had serious side effects and study after study is showing how widespread this damage is (second link above says 1 in 250 Brits died within 60 days of vaxx). Eventually the data will become undeniable to the middle third (those vaxxed but not ‘true believers’). The timing of this wakeup call is unknown, but I think there is less than 12 months shelf life.
To me, this all suggests that the next form of control will be even bigger than what we’ve seen to date and will come this fall as ‘they’ need to be fully in control when the energy shock starts killing people. TPTB will need to get ahead of these failures in order to maintain the controlled demolition. There is also pressure from the winddown in Ukraine, energy and food costs, FBI politization, a likely stock market crash, etc.
Thoughts?
@Rototillerman
Thank you for both the time and knowledge you shared. These links are a great help and I appreciate the way you approached the argument. This will definitely help my son and I’m sure there are others on here who will benefit as well.Request for help
My son is starting 1st grade in a week and his pediatrician has recommended the vaccination for him. My wife (vaxxed) and I (unvaxxed) are divided on the issue. In her mind, a medical professional recommending it (and saying that they arent seeing side effects) outweighs what I say. He had covid (omicron in Jan) though no symptoms, only way we knew is we all had it and got tested.Can anyone help point me to studies from respected journals like BMJ, Lancet, etc, that show the risks and/or similar arguments against vaxxing kids?

I think this video does a nice job of discussing several of the themes that get covered here and, at least to me, does a good job of showing to what end we are headed.
it also is shedding from the vaccinated into the environment making it impossible not to be exposed to this poisonous allergen.
The idea of shedding by the vaxxed has been around probably since the start of the vaxx campaigns a year ago – are there any scientific papers that support this claim? Even if not, as there is much that ‘science’ refuses to look at these days, how would shedding work? Is it common for people to shed through respiration things that are in their bloodstream?
@Mr House- I think one plausible move for the narrative is to start blaming vaxx adverse reactions on Omicron. Omicron is so subtle you don’t know you have it until you have a heart attack.
@Maxwell Quest – I agree with your sentiment and often have similar thoughts, though the overwhelming darkness of the times we find ourselves in is sometimes greater than my ability to stay optimistic. This is a gift, if nothing else it awakens us to that which is important.
Lord give us the strength to encounter that which is to come
May we be brave in peril,
Constant in tribulation,
Temperate of wrath,
And of all changes of fortune, and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving to one another.
– Robert Louis StevensonIn case anyone is interested, here is the summary of the just released OSHA ETS coivd mandate

I feel lucky to have stumbled upon this community. Cheers to Raul for working to keep us informed and providing a platform for us to connect.
Thanks Trivium. Any supplements you’d suggest for bio-copper? I get your point about eating right from right sources.
Be careful with zinc, but do consider it; it keeps the virus out of your cells.
What is the risk with zinc?
Lets say Las Vegas came up with a new way to gamble – bettors could place wages on drugs in early stages of FDA testing similar to betting on horses. The drug that won the “race” was the one that 10 years later proved to be 100% safe.
I have just spent the weekend with my fully vaxxed family, all of whom bet their lives that the “horse” they chose will end up being fully safe, no side effects, etc. And not 97% safe, but 100% safe. Ignoring whether the vax provides protection or not, how are people so blind to the fact that there is no long-term safety data and that they are literally betting their lives here?
Below is what I think the near term time-line looks like in the U.S. and would appreciate anyone’s additions or edits. Bottom line, things go off the rails around December.
1. Layoffs and firings will accelerate into December, largely due to the existing federal contractor mandate that has a Dec. 8th deadline. While OSHA hasn’t released rules for the rest of us, these will likely add to the number of unemployed. Additionally, think of those that leave willingly (e.g. early retirement) knowing that the mass reduction in force will make their job satisfaction tank.
2. Inflation continues to increase as we are seeing a lack of goods, not just too much money chasing things. Food and energy will particularly increase as we head into winter. We are already seeing this and there isnt additional supply to come online, so situation will get worse.
3. Supply chains will continue to deteriorate as there are few truckers, people working in warehouses, etc. Add rising fuel costs and many must have goods will just become unavailable, despite the price.
4. Deaths in September were around 5x what we saw in the same period a year ago. December is when we start to see the peak of seasonal colds, so expect December’s numbers to be off the charts with mass hysteria following. This will add to the other issues as fewer people working (sick or sheltering at home).
All of these seem to me to feed each other, creating a cascading event. I think the logical move by .gov will be to issue a passport here in the US as this will (temporarily) solve several problems; 1) keeps the narrative going that all of our misfortune is from the unvaxxed; 2) takes some pressure off of the supply chain as unvaxxed wont be allowed to shop, so less demand for goods; and 3) facilitates a roll-out of the booster program. Passport expires within x months of your last shot, get the booster or no passport enabled privileges.
Thoughts? Its pretty dark, though ithink that is our reality. Anything additional that would fit in here? Any suggestions for best steps to take now to prepare?
From Aesop, 2600 years ago:
A gaunt Wolf was almost dead with hunger when he happened to meet a House-dog who was passing by. “Ah, Cousin,” said the Dog. “I knew how it would be; your irregular life will soon be the ruin of you. Why do you not work steadily as I do, and get your food regularly given to you?”
“I would have no objection,” said the Wolf, “if I could only get a place.”
“I will easily arrange that for you,” said the Dog; “come with me to my master and you shall share my work.” So the Wolf and the Dog went towards the town together. On the way there the Wolf noticed that the hair on a certain part of the Dog’s neck was very much worn away, so he asked him how that had come about.
“Oh, it is nothing,” said the Dog. “That is only the place where the collar is put on at night to keep me chained up; it chafes a bit, but one soon gets used to it.” “Is that all?” said the Wolf. “Then good-bye to you, Master Dog.”
Better starve free than be a fat slave.
Chess can be a great metaphor for life, conflict, etc. I believe we are now entering the middle game where both sides trade pieces hoping to reach the end game with a strategic advantage.
We must trade space for time as the more time we allow them, the more likely they will make a fatal mistake.
Breaking news, which doesn’t seem to be breaking given its importance, the US government entity OSHA just sent its mandate recommendations to the white house for their approval. While entities like Southwest Airlines have been effected by the federal contractor mandate, this one covers all companies with more than 100 employees- (apologies for the CNN link, though seemed appropriate given the topic is propaganda) – https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/12/politics/covid-vaccine-rule-large-employers-biden-osha-omb/index.html
Not sure how this effects those outside the US. But to those in North America, now is the time to stock up on food and fuel as the supply chain is going to fall apart. Expect to hear about those racist domestic terrorists who wont do as they are told and take the clot shot. If not for them….
@phoenix
Thank you for your suggestions, helps me realize there are more options than i was considering.I lived in Arizona for about 8 years, split between Tucson and Phx, and would gladly move back, but my wife is not a fan of the heat!
While Sweden and Denmark are flagging the issue of jabbing those under 30, Pfizer is working to get approval in the US for jabbing kids as young as 5. I don’t see any reason why they wont get approval, just look at the ‘debate’ over boosters.
My concern is I have a 5 year old son and don’t want him to be a part of this. While my wife and I haven’t discussed our options, a likely path will be a vax mandate to be allowed to be in school. Another way of saying that is noncompliance means one parent would have to give up their career to home school him and even then he would miss out on the benefits of being with kids his age, etc.
Any thoughts on what our options are? What a dark time we live in
Interesting news and interesting that this isnt being covered as big news
There is a saying that “life resembles high school” and that can be an apt analogy for our times, especially the A students vs the C students dynamic.
A students knew the answers and viewed their social rank, in part, based on their academic achievement. Teachers would say x+y=z and A students would regurgitate, understanding and curiosity not required. These kids knew the rules and viewed them as ironclad. Getting As though wasn’t always enough to be part of that crowd; you could still go to the wrong school or have the wrong parents.
C students included those more interested in things outside of schoolwork as well as those unconcerned with teachers’ threats of the importance of their subject. A group more likely to explore outside the boundaries, willing to face the consequences.
Of course there were the school administrators. Very important people. They get to put you on time out and if you really step out of line with the ever present threat of putting strong words in your permanent record. If you were able to get them in your pocket, luck tended to favor you.
The current system rewards the A students via higher socioeconomic status. So when we went into lock down, A students were able to work from home and get into yoga or learn how to bake. C students were the group that were initially laid off. Then hired back quickly as they were essential, and heroes. In the summer of ’20, how many A students ate hamburger helper or worried about being in a crowded factory or restaurant setting in the midst of a pandemic.
Vaccine adoption has been no different. A students were rewarded by obeying authority – in school with good grades and today with corner offices. When the shot rolled out, they were first to get it and thought well of themselves for doing their part.
C students have a lived reality of being fucked by the system more than those above them. They know how much the government has their welfare in mind. So it should not be a surprise that this group has a 30% adoption rate. And those that made a decision for themselves not to take it, are now getting the boot heel. Wanna work? Wanna be able to shop or go to a bar. Wanna be able to feed and clothe your children? Wanna have an existence you fucking unperson?
Today’s A students believe that their manicured lifestyles are on pause because the class dunces are refusing to do what the teacher says. That’s what is keeping them from their privileged lives. What is worse: that authority is pushing this agenda in this fashion or that there are so many who bought it and are now fighting in favor of it.
Perhaps the upside for the C students is those are the ones who had loyal friends in school. Their opponents will cut a friends throat to move up the ladder. We will see which side prevails.
What we’ve got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can’t reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it. And I don’t like it any more than you men.
Is there data to support declined efficacy? For example, does data show breakthrough cases in terms of date since second jab? I don’t think so, and data is fairly corrupt anyways, but hopeful someone here might be able to point to studies that show timeline of decreased efficacy, how they can tell, etc.
Looks like the FDA advisory panel said no to boosters today, which is good, but still goes to a vote within the FDA.
@ Mr Roboto –
Regarding the logistics of getting testing done, I’ve done the math for my area (Denver, CO) and do not see how it is possible here to get everyone tested each week, even as we are a fairly small city
Population of metro Denver is 3.6M
Assume 20% need to get tested (a low estimate) is 720,000
Assume 100 testing sites open 7 days a week (cant find data, but think this number is generous), would need to process over 1,000 patients a day
Open for 12 hours, that’s 83 per hour or 1.4 a minute
Not possibleGiven what our Dear Leader told us just now, I think it is inevitable that we will see a complete shutdown of the supply chain leading to empty grocery stores, no gas at the pump, etc. By Xmas? Sooner?
Logistics companies cant lose a meaningful amount of workers, and you cant hire the gal at Subway to drive a truck for higher pay.
Those who drive trucks, work in warehouses, stock shelves are less married to the status quo than folks with white collar jobs and fancy sports cars. They will say F it.Given what our Dear Leader told us just now, I think it is inevitable that we will see a complete shutdown of the supply chain leading to empty grocery stores, no gas at the pump, etc. By Xmas?
