V. Arnold:
I showed the picture to my Wife this morning and we both agreed it was an amazing picture as the cat blended in perfectly with the tree trunk. But since this cat is minding it’s own business and not trying to cram “wokeness” down our throats, we simply enjoyed the magic moment in time that the picture captured for us.
Dr. D:
Thanks for providing a link to the article “Why Liberals Dump Their Oldest Friends” by Rick Ackeman GoldSeek. com July 25, 2022.
Thank you D Benton Smith for your wonderful but very trying life story.
After spending the first 10 years of my life I northern Quebec/Labrador, I can relate to the type of wild life you describe and their early fall migration south. The ice too thick to chop a hole in to fish. The strong cold winds that never stop. The only thing missing were the seals.
Great education on cows!
There is only one insect I would consider eating.
In Africa there is a big all green insect about 2″ long. I think we have them here in N. America too. Forget their name. But natives consider them to be delicious. My African mechanics would catch them, whenever I pointed them out, then twist their necks and put them in their pocket to eat at break times. I saw this happen quite a few times. If they ate them, then I would be game to try one!
Just a heads up TAEs.
If you use the word “recession” you will be accused of misinformation!
Liberals are redefining the meaning of the word “recession” so it no longer means what you thought it means.
So we are not in an economic recession between now and November!
Raul:
I have just read a very interesting article title “Why Liberals Dump Their Oldest Friends” written by Rick Ackeman on Goldseek.com July 5th, 2022. I highly recommend you include it in tomorrow’s blog as many TAEs have noticed this too with ex-friends since the pandemic started 3 years ago.
Yes this is a financial site, but this liberal phenomenon occurs ito people n every walk of life.
Rick is lamenting the lost of multiple friends he has known for 30 to 65 years. He asked a really smart friend about why this is happening and his friend told him why. Yes it has something to do with our how our brains are configured!
I am sending this message via Eldon Musk’s StarLink satellite! My son bought a StarLink RV unit which allows him the freedom to move the StarLink unit wherever he goes. Starting on Monday he switches from being a wind turbine technician to becoming a marine engine mechanic at the local marina. He will call the cottage home until about the end of October. After that it starts to get too cold so he will need to find a temporary place on the mainland. He will take the StarLink unit with him, thus buying the RV unit. (I have noticed that RV sales have suddenly stopped.)
Willem:
Yes I agree birds generally only fly in good weather. Even rain seems to ground many birds. Right out in front of the island cottage there is a rock everyone calls “Turtle Rock” because it is perfectly shaped like a turtle’s shell. It is heavily populated by the local water birds. However in heavy winds/rain they are all standing around looking rather dejected and quiet. I think the birds love sunny weather just like we humans do too.
Second day in a row, no news about the “war” in the Ukraine on the Saker, Moon of Alabama, and Zerohedge. Zerohedge did have one story about exporting Ukrainian grain. So the powers to be have banished the war in the Ukraine. Raul obviously didn’t get the memo!
About yesterday’s great photo of a hawk/eagle flying side ways. Notice the bird has it’s head turned 90 degrees so it can keep it’s gyroscope properly orientated with respect to the earth’s horizon. Something human pilots can not do without a gyroscope.
So the Dutch politicians first pass a stupid law about reducing nitrogen. Then if you want to build more housing, then the politicans can say with a straight face, the law says you have to shutdown a farm first. But not any other sources of nitrogen. And nobody even questions the circular logic.
I noticed today that the Ukraine has even disappeared from the Saker and the Moon of Alabama.
I guess they got the message that the Ukraine is no longer news! I think the Russians are still canceling Ukrainians.Build Back Worst
I see the European central bank finally raised interest rates 0.5%. Japan surely follows after the WEF’s Abe warning.
This is likely the first time in your life time when central bankers have started raising interest rate after the world has already entered a recession. Don’t be surprised because the central bankers all have to keep the goals of the WEF’s Build Back Better at the top of their agenda now.
Central bankers play a critical role in achieving Build Back Worst. Raising interest rates is supposed to fight inflation. But rising energy prices has been driven not by rising demand but by the WEF reducing energy supplies. Rising interest rates do however reduce energy demands by reducing economic activity. Like all good little communist, first they destroy the existing infrastructure, so they can Build Back Worst.
I don’t think I have to tell you who Build Back Worst are targeting.
A few months ago I noted that a major MSM reporter penned an article explaining why Trudeau needed a new jet. Well, lo and behold, Justin has a brand new big foreign made jet! I guess a Canadian made Challenger jet just wasn’t good enough for Justin to fly in. So being the climate change hypocrite that he is, he has greatly increased his carbon footprint!
As a hypocrite, Justin also doesn’t believe he needs to obey his own mask rules requiring all Canadians to wear a mask, while riding in a train.
I am still waiting for the US army to kick out their unvaccinated soldiers. They have already taken such steps against all unvaccinated National Guard soldiers. The reason the US army will do so is because the unvaccinated army soldiers are considered politically unreliable by the deep state. These army soldiers need to be purged. This all goes back to what Obama started, in 2008, purging the US army’s officier Corp of politically unreliable officers and only promoting politically correct officers.
That the US army is having trouble recruiting new cannon folder will be viewed as signs of success by the deep state. They don’t want to recruit loyal patriots. Thus the extensive background checks.
Failure to retain (purging) existing soldiers again is viewed as further sign of success. Afterall the army is viewed by the deep state as a serious competitor to their future designs. I think it isn’t an accident that all of the western countries have been deliberately reducing the sizes of their militaries, even as most of their populations have increased.
Since the weather is nice and warm, Biden will use it to declare a climate emergency so he can stuff the ballot boxes in November again!
Since Joe wants higher energy prices, why did he venture to the middle east to ask them to increase oil production? Afterall joe is doing his very best to shutdown US oil and gas production!
Right now the USD is considered strong as measured by the USD index.
Most of the USD index consists of the Euro and the Yen.
Both the Euro and Yen have fallen greatly as the US Fed has started raising interest rates above zero while the central banks of Europe and Japan are trying to keep interest rates below zero.
Naturally the Euro and Yen have started falling being sacrificed by their central banks determination to prevent their interest rates from rising.
Would you consider the USD to be strong, solely based upon the increased stupidity of other country’s central banks exceeding the US Fed’s own stupidity?
Right now you can buy an ounce of paper gold for $1,700 USD, down from $2,000, and an ounce of paper silver for $18, down from $27.USD. Good luck trying to buy real gold or silver at these low paper prices!
Obviously somebody doesn’t believe the USD is strong or they would gladly sell you their real gold.
It is very clear why Abe was killed by the globalist.
His death is also a message to other leaders who might oppose their agenda.Zerosum:
My idea of camping/glamping is in the lobby of the Hilton!
Currently enjoying some very nice hot days at the island cottage!
I am still waiting for the US army to commit hari-kari by dismissing their unvaxxed soldiers while they are having trouble recruiting new soldiers.
These last few days Germ sure has been on fire. The covid vaccine war is still doing it’s deadly work. For most people, they have no idea there is a covid vaccine war raging.
Isn’t it amazing how the climate fight against carbon has now silently slipped in fertilizers to it’s hit list and nobody seems to have noticed this addition. Is oxygen next on the WEF’s hit list?
On July 4th, my 93 year old aunt, living in Ottawa, died. Her funeral service at her church could not be scheduled until 3 PM August 6th, slightly more than a month from now. I believe this is the third service to be held at the church that day.
This just goes to show that the dying business, per Germ, is booming because more people than normal are now dying from the vaccines. From what I have observed, most people are completely clueless that death rates are now higher.
My entire family is currently at the cottage, enjoying the short Canadian summer. That of course includes my daughter’s pet dawf Dutch rabbit, Moki. This is her 7th summer here at the cottage. I built an 8 foot wide by 16 foot long and 6 foot high walk-in enclosure to protect her from any wild animals such as ccoyotes, raccoons, mink, foxes, hawks, and owls.
Well up until this year that also kept the chipmunks at bay too. The chipmunks pose no danger to Moki, except, if they can, they will just eat her out of house and home! You just can’t keep her bowl of food full as the bold little chipmunks will clean it out in just a few minutes! Well it seems a wooden piece of Moki’s cage, lying on the ground, rotted and the chipmunks quickly discovered this and then staged “a break and enter” operation!
I am pleased to report that the 2 local chipmunks are now again very frustrated chipmunks because they can see and smell Moki’s food bowl but can’t partake of it’s riches! Moki is now back to her usual business of digging new tunnels in the sandy soil, something she can’t really do back home in Toronto due to the thick and dense clay soil.
Last Friday, all day, and all night too, Roger’s our phone/internet provider was down for at least 18 hours. Another reason why Roger’s should not be allowed to buy and merge with Shaw Communications. Roger’s needs to invest more in insuring their systems becoming more reliable instead of buying out their competition.
Per Russia, almost 7,000 mercenaries flocked to the Ukraine to fight Russia. Just under 2,000 mercenaries have managed to leave (escape alive) the Ukraine. Just over 2,000 mercenaries have been killed. That leaves just 3,000 mercenaries left in the Ukraine.
Ukraine commanders have a huge incentive to kill off their highly paid mercenaries, not report their deaths, so they can continue collecting the mercenaries’ paychecks!
A little war isn’t going to stop the Ukrainian’s black market!
For the Dutch farmers, the Dutch gov has now authorized the police to shoot the farmers in their tractors. So the Dutch gov has now crossed this Rubicon. Vilolence is now OK.
Freezing BDutch farmer’s bank accounts cannot be very far behind. I just hope Dutch farmers have taken notes on what happened in Canada and prepared accordingly. Their leaders will be soon arrested and jailed.
I saw where some Dutch under cover police dressed up as farmers and infiltrated a protest. Then they began trying to turn the protest violent. The peaceful protesters saw this and confronted the undercover police, forcing them to retreat to a police van for protection, but not before pulling out hidden police batons.
Hopefully the Dutch farmers succeed where the Canadian truckers failed. But I doubt it. It is probably already too late.
One thing the Ukrainian do every time they retreat is abandon all their wounded (and dead) to the Russians. I suspect this reflects the Ukrainian’s lack of medical help within their own ranks and the fact that the Ukrainians know the Russians are more capable of assisting the wounded. It also likely reflects on the very poor state the retreating Ukrainian urvivors are in too.
Recently I saw some huge Ukrainian casualties figures of about 5,500, likely from a city the Russians took recently. About 2,000 were killed and about 3,500 wounded.
The recent closed cauldron has shortened Russian frontlines from about 78 miles to just 25 miles. Since a battalion usually covers about 3 miles of front line, this frees up about 15 battalions for 2 weeks of rest. So maybe we will see a lull in the Russian attack?
The Ukrainian gov has issued orders that all draft age men are not allowed to leave the cities, towns, or villages where they live. They have also demanded Nato round up all Ukrainian men in Europe and send them back to the Ukraine. More recently they have issued orders saying draft age Ukrainian women are now not allowed to leave their regions. All of this is obviously designed to make rounding up new cannon fodder easier, for the still in control, Nazis.
Clearly fighting this war to the last Ukrainian is becoming inceasingly more difficult. The Ukrainian cannon fodder that couldn’t escape the country, has often gone into hiding. I suspect the Ukrainian women will soon be joining their hidden men folk. Then who will be left to keep the hidden fed?
Sadly it looks like the Dutch farmers protest is going to end exactly the same way Canada’s trucker freedom convoy did.
TAE:
Some very good thought provoking comments today. Sobering and sad thoughts about the covid vaccine war on us little people too.
Since 2014 the US/Nato’s military strategy in the Ukraine was to establish fixed lines of fortifications so the Russians would bleed themselves to death attempting a frontal assault. (The French tried that in WW2 too.)
The Russians responded to this by moving armored forces forward until resistance is encountered, then pulling these forces back out of harms way. Then they proceed to shell the encountered line of resistance until they are satisfied resistance has been largely crushed.
Then Russian armored forces move forward to take the encountered line of resistance. If resistance is still stiff, the armored forces pull back again and the shelling resumes. If resistance is weak the armored forces move forward mopping up any remaining resistance. There is very little direct soldier to soldier fighting involved.
This Russian strategy greatly reduces Russian casualties while greatly increasing Ukrainian casualties. The key to using this strategy is to give local Russian commanders all the time they need to fight each battle they face. Notice Russia has set no rigid timelines to achieve their goals. Russia has deliberately choosen to fight each battle slowly.
If a given battle is deemed too costly to attack directly, then the Russians flow like water toward weaker areas to attack, often leaving strong points to collapse on their own, after being surrounded.
The strategy around Kiev and particularly Karkow was first move quickly toward these 2 cities, then slowly retreat away from the 2 cities. This has had the affect of drawing Ukrainian forces defending the 2 cities out of the cities into the open countryside and small towns/villages where Ukrainian forces have been very badly mauled by Russian shelling. Expect Russian forces to move forward towards Karkow when the timing is right.
There certainly seems to be a method to Russia’s madness! However the US/Nato strategy has simply gone up in smoke! What were they thinking? They certainly were not thinking the frontline Ukrainians would be busy selling western military equipment to the Russians for cents on the dollar!
Maxwell:
When younger, I used to have dreams of free falling down to earth. Then just as I was about to crash land, I would suddenly wake up in bed with , one hell of a jolt! Never did figure out the meaning of these dreams. Not sure why the issue of wearing a parachute never came up.
V.P.
The problem for me is my soul can dream up more projects to do than my poor old body can ever find the energy to do! Sign of old age!
Armenia Pereira:
Well Canada has Justin Trudeau.
Does Portugal have anyone as clueless as him?
I remember Portuguese Judges ruled against covid vaccines.
No Canadian judge has ruled against the covid clotshot!
All the Portuguese I have ever met have had their heads screwed on correctly!Zerosum:
The last that I read, Nato’s rapid response force never even reached 5,000!
I don’t think Nato could even field a 300,000 strong army!
So Nato’s 300,000 rapid response force must be just a virtual force!Red:
When it comes to Canada’s population, Trudeau is two-faced.
Trudeau says he supports unlimited abortions for women.
Trudeau actively supports unlimited immigration to increase Canada’s population.
Is Trudeau really supporting women?V.P.
My Mother was a nurse but her views of the medical profession were tempered by her experiences.
Unfortunately your experiences with the RNs in your family are also shared by me.
They are all too eager to help Dr. Fauci inject his evil vaccine into their fellow citizens.I see Trudeau is doing his best to spread covid by spreading his arms around other leaders. Clearly he is trying hard to hide the fact that he is considered the least powerful and the most incompetent leader at the G-7 meeting. Notice nobody bothers to invite Trudeau to come and visit their country anymore. Trudeau has worn out his welcome just like his old man did too. Certainly Trudeau won’t be getting an invite, any time soon, from the new G-8!
The Ukraine must be winning the war so greatly that they now need to resort to bombing their own empty shutdown shopping centers to prove Russia is losing the war! Three new Ukrainian brigades that had just completed their training got canceled at each of their 3 training centers by Russia. Sadly these canceled Ukrainians never even got a chance to be shoved into the frontlines to serve as cannon fodder. It is hard to believe the Ukraine has so much cannon fodder.
Sadly, the vaccine war on the people of the west rolls on, unabated, claiming more and more victims every day.
This was no accident.
It was planned and approved by the elites.
Notice how overboard the prime ministers of Canada, Australia, and New Zealand behaved.
They all tried to force the vaccines on their subjects.
Trudeau is still keeping restrictions on unvaxxed Canadians for refusing to get vaxxed.Joe isn’t too worried about the November 2022 mid-term elections.
The federal government has taken active control of all state election commissions.
In November Americans will find this out.
But it will be too late to do anything about it.How do I know FDR planned Pearl Harbor?
FDR knew battleships were old dinosaurs (but good bait) and aircraft carriers (plus submarines) the new rulers of the seas.
Pearl Harbor was the trap. Battleships the bait. Cutting off oil to Japan provided the motivation.
So once the war in the Pacific started, why did Japan invade Hong Kong, then Indochina and then go all the way to Burma/India border?
Answer: To cut off all avenues of US military aid to China!
Hong Kong finally cut off the last remaining sea link to China.
Indochina cut off the sea/rail links to China’s interior.
In Burma, Japan tried to cut off the Burma sea/road link to the deep interior of China.Most people don’t realize this basic fact of the Pacific war ⁿntil they look at a map and try to figure out how the US would supply China and how Japan would try to stop the US. Then everything starts to make more sense!
I am back at the island cottage as my son is enjoying 2 weeks of vacation after working up north on Manituilan Island in northern Lake Huron. I try to drop in every evening to the TAE to see what is happening.
Yes the badness about the horrible effects that the vaccines have done keeps coming out of the woodwork along with more government efforts to suppress such knowledge. The one question I have not seen an answer to is whether the negative effects of the vaccines are permanent or whether over time the natural immune system will regain it’s former functional status?
Certainly the vaccines where a great economic success adding to GDP in the same manner as breaking windows does. The vaccines more than paid for themselves in reducing government pension payouts by killing off present and future pension recipients.
In corrupt Ukraine there is a connection between these two random statements. Ukrainian commanders under counting their dead, particularly foriegn mercenaries. Ukrainian troops complaining they are being left at the front without any officiers to lead them.
Ukrainian officiers certainly believe in not letting a good crisis go to waste. Ukrainian commanders are certainly leading their men. But just not in the manner you would expect. By under counting their soldier’s deaths, commanders continue to collect the dead soldier’s pay. This scheme only works however, if the commander avoids accidently getting himself killed.
One way to speed up the ollection of such monies, is to quickly kill off the mercenaries under your command. Often mercenaries are being ordered into forward positions when there is a general retreat. An example of this is ordering mercenaries to hold a town across the river and then blowing up the last remaining bridge, leaving the trapped mercenaries to their fate with the Russians. As such, the supply of new mercenaries has dried up!
Once the Ukrainian commander has collected sufficient monies, he can then leave retiring for parts unknown.
As always corruption rules in the Ukraine! A war certainly isn’t going to stop the corruption!
V.P.:
The word “Bigot” was introduced into the English language by a certain Frenchman Mr. Bigot located in Quebec City when it fell to the British. His behavior ensured New France fell.
Let’s do a little math OK?
Russia lobbies 50,000 152 mm artillery shells every day at the Ukrainians.
The Ukrainians lobby back 5,000 artillery shells back at the Russians every day.
The Ukrainians can’t throw artillery shells as far as the Russians can.Prez Z says they are losing 100 killed a day.
The pentagon admits 200 Ukrainians killed a day.Per Prez Z, it takes the Russians 500 shells to kill 1 Ukrainian!
The US says it is taking the Russians 250 shells to kill 1 Ukrainian.Based upon WW1 & 2 experiences, big artillery is far deadlier than that!
If it takes the Russians 100 shells a day to kill 1 Ukrainian, then 500 Ukrainians are dying every day.
What if the Russians only need 50 shells a day to kill 1 Ukrainian? That is 1,000 dead Ukrainians a day.
This old math is awful.Here is how Canada’s trudeau is handling the captured Canadian General in the Ukraine. They are simply throwing him under the bus by only now deciding to charge him with sex crimes. Since he isn’t here to defend himself, coward trudeau is feeling real brave.
I am sorry to have to report that the supply chain for “Quick Start” has been broken for over 6 months now. If you know anything about starting small motors, then you know what I am talking about! Per joe, it is all Putin’s fault!
Have you noticed this year that there is very little sweet corn on the cob available? And what little is available is rather pricey.
Been driving around the rural countryside lately? Noticed anything unusual about the farm fields?
So Dr fauci and friends are giving Pfizer unlimited legal protection from being sued by approving the clot shot to kill kids. Sick sick sick.
