There is a rail strike on Saturday 8th October in the UK. Perhaps someone should mention this to the organizers!
Thanks for that Figmund – once the solar flare MPSK mentioned hits us and we revert back to worshiping Ra, should come in handy!
Gonzo Lira Lives!
He was released by SBU and just made a video with Alex Christoforou. Thank God for one less tragedy in this war.
Gonzo mentioned his tweet about the following still missing/killed/abducted in Ukraine:
“You want to learn the truth about the Zelensky regime? Google these names:
Vlodymyr Struk
Denis Kireev
Mikhail & Aleksander Kononovich
Nestor Shufrych
Yan Taksyur
Dmitri Djangirov
Elena Berezhnaya”May more good souls be found safe and sound and may we bring an end to this senseless US/UK/NATO sponsored killing.
I do not (and have never had) twitter, youtube, facebook (meta?) and so am (thankfully) blissfully unaware of the level of discourse found on those sites, only occassionally viewing a series of tweets from investigative journos and talking heads.
I’m unsure if my comment regarding Assange’s fate laying in the hands of UK Home Secretary Priti Patel could be misconstrued as as judgement on her “based on my own non-factual mindset”. If it could be interpreted as mere opinion with a slight embellishment towards tragicomedy, I can rectify that with “facts”.
This yt clip from BBC question time sees Patel arguing the case for capital punishment to return to the UK statute books as means of a “deterrent” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_DrsVhzbLzU
It just gets worse and worse. Assange at the hands of Priti Patel… If she had her way Assange would just be hung without trial. We’re done. Finished.
The British public are generally so apathetic they did nothing to even defend their own rights during covid, what hope do we have of a critical mass stepping upto the plate when the wikileaks founder gets extradited?
“The Blue Bird” is a lovely piece of artwork I had never seen before. Thanks for the “artucation” as usual Ilargi. The yawning pelican bookends today’s debt rattle nicely. What greedy buggers pelicans are!
“what an amazing bird is the pelican,
It’s beak can hold more than it’s belly can”Imagine training a pelican to catch fish like the traditional Chinese train cormorants… No fishing boats, nets or trawlers needed.
That is so sad. RIP Gonzalo Lira. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.
He had muy grande cojones made of steel. An intelligent and inspiring fellow who will be missed.
A kullervo – thanks for the laugh! Armed-to-the-teeth Amish, eh?
Ilargi – yes, prayers for Coach Red Pill. He has done a courageous job in reporting on events from Kharkov/Kharkiv.
War is so completely senseless it is beyond measure. Bloodbaths of suffering for absolutely nothing. There is no moral of any kind other than avoid war. This was the story passed on to me by my grandparents.
Eva Bartlett (Canadian journalist) Patrick Lancaster (American reporter) and Maximilian Clarke (British reporter) are all doing good work reporting news in English while Gonzalo is MIA.
Around the time of the Syrian conflict I had numerous online conversations about war. One was with a member of the UK Green party whose response to UK involvement in Syria was to arm the KDP with stinger missiles.
War in the hands of politicians becomes just another abstract notion of bean counting bureaucracy. The last people who should be in charge of anything to do with conflict are politicians. The military have a conflict of interest despite them being best equipped to strike, their whole purpose is to bomb, blitz and barrage the enemy into oblivion. Not a particularly good strategy to building any lasting peace. With crooked politicians and trigger-happy military in full control, we are up the creek without a paddle.
We have a West which has long past having any moral compass. Siding with Kolomoyskyi’s puppet who partners with Nationalist killers and heralds Stephan Bandera as a national hero for Ukraine puts Western nations in a particularly ominous spot. We deserve worse than a few nukes should the US/UK/Europe/NATO and its willing partners continue on this path. Scenes like those from Mad Max will greet us with open arms for many future generations by beckoning such moral degeneracy. The Russians are not to be messed with but they do not commit Genocide. That is the territory for Right Sector, Azov Battalion and Svoboda.
TAE community – Whaddya mean? That you all won’t participate in the two-minutes hate? How else can we instigate thoughcrime charges against you all, for not hating Putin and the Russians?
Get with the cult and be peace loving and happy (like Dr. strangelove) Here, take this experimental shot! Adopt a child from a country needing democracy (like Ukraine) and allow the state (and Disney) to train them to be a good LGBT/unicorn loving servants (or die naked in the rain, your choice 😉
Mark Crispin Miller as usual has posted very thorough analysis of the propaganda at work and how the media have been twisting the narrative to suit their agenda.
No finer example is how the BBC has gone from this (2018 – Newsnight On Patrol With Ukraine’s Far Right Militia)
To this (2022 ‘Children’ written in Russian near theatre bombed in Ukraine)
So much can happen in 4 years… (Like COVID-19, duh!)
As Gerald Celente has said for many years now “when all else fails, they take you to war”. Well, it has all failed – QE/Market rigging, Afghanistan/Guantanamo, Negative interest rates, Brexit, Trump and lastly the pandemic/great reset. The only thing they have left is to distract us all with World War 3!
What an incredible time. Totally surreal. Props to Illargi for keeping on (hope you’re feeling better). What a time to be alive.
So amongst the continuation of the real-life instigation of Vonnegut’s Suicide booths (minus the Sisters of Mercy) We now have proof that the legacy media were asleep at the wheel (or worse) regarding Biden’s Laptop. We still have the unanimous backing of the West supporting Neo-Nazi’s in Ukraine. World War 3 on our doorstep all because Nuland, Clinton et al have a hard on (make that a strap on) for Putin.
Legacy media should be disarmed, discharged, dismantled, dismembered and then destroyed. And do it quickly. Before the neocons nuke this planet in a hasty fit of rage, believing themselves justified by their phony press propagandists and willing, docile and consenting populace.
What do I know? I just checked investopedia again and the opening decription of SEC form 25 states: “is the document a public company must file to delist its securities under rule 12d2-2 of the securities exchange act 1934″
So yes, it could just be the ‘0.25% notes due 2022’ listed on Pfizer’s SEC document as securities and not the entire company listing, as claimed.
@farmer mcgregor
I have no specialist knowledge on the subject, just a laymen’s observation.
The Securities and exchange commission does deal with commodities, bonds and other assets or debt instruments. My suspicion that it may be something more substantial than what the associated press are putting out is that SEC form 25 specifically mentions this action de-lists the company and the company can continue trading in the pink sheets (without reporting requirements) The term “de-listing from the stock exchange” is fairly hard and fast. There is no grey area (for example, a bond or debt instrument would not require that the company delists. That term is all-encompassing).
I found the news of Pfizer being de-listed interesting, so I had a look at the SEC form 25 that is linked in the twitter thread.
It appears that Pfizer applied for de-listing on the NYSE sometime in 2018. The date of Pfizer’s de-listing was 7th March 2022. It takes 90 days for the de-listing to take effect. This means, in around 3 months, Pfizer will have effectively removed its investable assets from the NY stock exchange. Investopedia has further information on the implications of form 25 on businesses.
I’m still reeling from Nuland’s “admission”.
Smarter people than I have looked at this staged exchange between Rubio and Nuland. It’s looking like a repeat of Syria except we are knee deep in mRNA psyop, psychotic trump-hating, anti-Russian, foaming-at-the-mouth madness. At least seen through the desperate behaviour of seemingly “normal” people (I had assumed family members, collegues and random stangers passed for this) Not so. If you do not hate Russians then I WILL GET MAD and accuse one of not caring about the innocent children being slaughtered. I’m left scratching my head wondering when I became an inmate to the psycho ward.
They don’t even need a prompt it seems. Is performative art a latent natural talent to a percentage of the population? We seem to be surrounded by aspiring actors in a play called “Lost The Plot” . It comes straight out of a bargain basement sale bucket next to slasher flicks and b-movies with actors you never heard of.
I had given humanity more credit in its ability to tell right from wrong, truth from lie but we are dumber than we look (and that is saying something for a hairless, upright ape with prominent probocis)
Regarding 33, yes it was because he left on 3/3 and had seat 33, invoice for pcr test was at 3:30, activation code ended 330. Bunch of coincidences for sure.
I’m definitely having “The War You Don’t See” Deja vu here. Flashbacks of Iraq in the footage Lez has provided.
This version of J.J Johnson’s ‘Lament’ fits the mood as I see it.
Gary Thomas – Til we have faces (1992)
The Celente video “from the front line in Ukraine with Russell “Texas” Bentley is definitely worth a watch. Thanks for sharing this in yesterday’s debt rattle.
Alongside the opening statement from John Mearsheimer and the information from Intel Slavia Z, I would have to agree with Oroborus about the Bitch Slap being delivered to the Neo Cons in Washington right now.
China just started asking questions about the Ukrainian biolabs. The rumour is that they were weaponising biological agents to specifically target persons of Russian ancestory. This would seem to align with the ideology of the Azov battalion.
“🇨🇳🇷🇺🇺🇲 And so China joined in. After the official statements of the Russian Defense Ministry about the Pentagon’s military biolaboratories in Ukraine, the Chinese Foreign Ministry called on the United States to explain the presence of such facilities in Ukraine and publish information about the viruses that were studied there.”
@Dimitri -Thanks for the news link and further info. If true then Zelensky’s regime is illegitimate in the eyes of the West and Biden’s administration is likely implicated as well. Let’s see what proof comes forward. At the very least we should be sharing those sources which are disregarded as “Propaganda” by either side. Being neutral is impossible without this information which is prejudiced by the demonisation and censorship in western press.
Who needs the Black Death when you have CNN willing to direct forces to blow up the Chernobyl Sarcophagus? Such level-headed and considerate use of force in the region… All to further their (Ukraine’s) right to sovereign democracy eh? 😉
I had a look through the biological agents listed in the Ukraine document from the biolab. There seems to be no mention of Yersinia pestis, the bacteria which causes plague. Neither anthrax which was intimated the lab also was using. The agents listed are rather generic and would be used for research in lots of places legitimately (dhiptheria, e.coli, pnuemonia) If they were using agents which violated article 1 then it seems that they were doing this covertly and left no paper trail. Unless I missed something out, which is certainly possible.
A note on comments. Of all those reading the site, a smaller proportions read the comments. Of these, an even smaller number are registered at the site and have left comments before. The unspoken majority are still there. World events like those that we are going through have a “chilling effect” on free speech and democracy. I would argue that this is by design but this is rather difficult to prove.
Most folks who are working are just too busy to dedicate a moment to comment. I was a frequent visitor to TAE for many years. I did not register and post a comment until the lockdowns guaranteed I could not go to work. The spare time afforded me the luxury of registering at the sites I had gained valuble info and analysis (in contrast to the propaganda narratives so often banded around by the MSM).
As work returns to a vast number of those worldwide, just as the escalation of war in Ukraine, time is up for a lot of those with time to comment (myself included) I am overwhelmed with work and can barely keep up. I do not have kids. I feel for those with children as for most with the extra dependence of a young person in this environment would not afford a moment to spare.

Ps I remember a time prior to 2013 when there would barely be 30 comments a day and news was relatively benign (islamic state, arab spring, afghanistan, peak oil, GMO’s, GFC) How times change. This is a sad statement and to reminisce those days, sadder still.
I can confirm RT.com is not accepting connections from UK. If you get the home page, once you click a link you hit website protection and from there are unable to progress. Denial of Service protection to be specific.
This means that the UK is not blocking the pages but the RT servers are not permitting access, as a precautionary measure.
The last I saw anti-russian propaganda this bad was back in 2014/15 amongst the Syria offensive. Banko Spirito Santo went down. Obama put money into Africa. I remember those days.
Is it me or does it seem like Western nations do not command the same level of international respect as they once did? /s
Picasso today is interesting, also for its date. Abstract notions of time, space and form can be traced back earlier than we believe they existed in the sphere of public knowledge. Just like “science” or even concepts of contemporary civilisation, we are not “advanced” or pioneering as much as we think we are. Check yo ‘self, before you wreck yo’ self.
Thanks for sharing your musical self-expression Oxy. Like so many visiting here, I also benefit from a deeper and more critical look at some of the geopolitics being played out at TAE. We entered the twighlight zone during the last two years so I am also grateful for you all.
Interesting to see the spirit of ownership over what we can do speak above that of the PMC micro-management of all of those doing it. Perhaps the success of us as a species (let alone ‘nations’) rests in getting our hands and feet dirty, being in touch with nature and the planet. It is messy but feels worth it and I can see more meaning in my actions providing I am acting as a ‘custodian of the soil’. I seem to be channeling the ‘TAE of old’ in this section of my post. I am also feeling somewhat nostalgic this evening…
Best to all (including Bosco)
On the subject of ‘Count Zero’ (congrats – or should that be commiserations? zsum 😉
I always liked this song by Public Enemy – She watch Channel Zero
The woman makes the men all pause
And if you got a woman She might make you forget yours
There’s a 5 letter word To describe her character
But her brains being washed by an actor
And every real man that tries to approach
The closer he comes He gets dissed like a roachI don’t think I can handle
She goes channel to channel
Cold lookin’ for that hero
She watch channel zeroTwo, seven, five, four, eight
She watched she said
All added up to zero
And nothing in her head
She turns and turns
And she hopes the soaps
Are for real, she learns
That it ain’t true, nope
But she won’t survive
And rather die in a lie
Falls a fool, for some dude, on a tubeI don’t think I can handle
She goes channel to channel
Cold lookin’ for that hero
She watch channel zeroThanks for the kind words Bosco, glad it gave you a chuckle. Have enjoyed reading your (and all other commenters) contributions to the comment section recently. There is a lot going on. Twitter closed down anonymous scrolling sans app/account just before Inspector Trudeau closed in on the truckers. How I find the time to have a shave, shower & shit and keep up with everything else is a fackin mystery…
Don’t give up the fight
Set to Frank Zappa’s ‘Camarillo Brillo’
“He had that Castro castrato
Voicing from outside his head
Safety Minister Marco Mendocino,
Read out edicts just like Castro said
He ruled the filthy towers of mordor
And half the fascists in quebec
In his office, Schwab had built a backdoor
And turned Canada into a wreck
He said he was down with Obama
And he could paint a mean blackface
And carried on without a comma
“Conservatives must be displaced”He had a dog for a pet
And an amulet
And he was son of Fidel
But he wasn’t done yet
He had gray-green skin
A doll with a pin
I told him he was a cunt
And that he wouldn’t win”Etc
The large amounts of people who did get tricked into being vaccinated will support the banning and cancelling of the “unpure”.
So it’s to unfold with a minority of obedient facists, stripping the rights of the people who refused to take the experimental shots. Seems likely to backfire, in my opinion. Not wise, but then history proves ‘civilisation’ (those claiming to represent the status quo) to be folly, time and time again.
You are free to express your opinion Deflationista; as is Neil Young.
I was merely expressing my own.
Thanks to TAE reporting the news and the public forum here, we are all able to do so.
That’s what freedom looks like.
If I, as a supplier of goods address the shop owner, and I say to you: forbid selling my competitors wares else I shall not supply my goods to you; does this make me a Prohibitor of my Competitor being able to bring his product to market? Or am I merely a man of action, with the courage of my convictions to prove so in the marketplace?
Does not understanding cause-and-effect make one immoral? Or are those who aren’t moral more likely to misunderstand cause and effect?
Tune in next week when we discuss if water is wet
Re: preserved eggs – I’m not a fan but this Chinese recipe is a good way to keep them
Excellent work with The Great Reset Flowchart the other day Maxwell Quest! I liked the original one (pushback – no – so sorry, too late) it was the human aspect there that made me laugh. The amended version is more like their diktat – cold, authoritarian and inhuman. A geniunely realistic visual of how reptilian minds think.
Comment section has been on fire of late – it is hard to keep up. Great contributions from all.
Gene Wilder at his best as Dr. Fronkenstein
@phoenix – I always recommend new brewers to start small. All you need is a syphon, fermenting bucket, sanitiser, long plastic spoon, bottle capper + crown caps (along with glass bottles) and a can of hopped malt extract (Coopers kits are good) Once brewers get the concept they can move on to all grain and hops and start boiling + cooling their own recipes. It’s a lot like cooking. Except it takes a month to see if it tastes any good.
Potable water from the tap is already treated with chlorine (bleach) so a little more of the same will work to keep it bug-free.
Interesting fact, the chemical reaction of sulphite neutralises chlorine from tapwater. If your homebrew tastes bad because of high levels of chloramine, a pinch of k-meta to standing water in the fermenter (at least a few hours before pitching the yeast) can improve this particular flaw considerably.
Sulphites smell like pungent onions – yuck! Don’t breathe in the “aroma” unless you like bad coughing with watering eyes. It disperses with time in the water you add it to.
Yes, table sugar is needed when other sources of sugars (maltose, fructose etc) are not available. You add sugar to a beer or wine kit to begin with although it robs the beverage of body so if you prefer a full-bodied beer (or glass of red) malt/malt extract (or pure grape concentrate) yields a better final product.
I love gardening and growing my own food. I’ve not been able to do it since I moved out of my parents house in the 90’s. Hopefully one day in the not-too-distant I can get back to tending a vegetable patch again. I fondly remember standing opposite the plum trees while fruit bats would fly between me and the over-ripe plums. Some crazy little mammal creatures that we share this amazing planet with!
I’m finding any detour from paying too much attention to the horrific realities we are facing a welcome one. The serenity prayer has been in my thoughts regularly for the past 10 years. More so even more recently. I hope it gives the good folk here at TAE as much peace of mind as it has given me.
Thanks to Illargi for your continued good efforts (and sharing great memes – we all need the laughs!!)
Best wishes all
