Zerosum:
In a former life, after being in mining equipment, I used to work for a plastic injection molding equipment company located just north of Toronto, where I still live.
They made the molds and injection molding equipment for 2/3s of the world’s plastic bottles. Coke, Pepsi, etc. Plastic drinking water bottles were a big part of the business.
After the plastic bottles are made, they are supposed to sit for at least a week to let most of the gases (90%) escape before they are filled with a drinking fluid.
I knew many of my fellow service reps preferred drinking tap water over bottled water! So do I! It is safer!

Israel will be an interesting lab experiment to watch since they will be the first country to max vaccinate their population.

Do you remember who in congress opposed President Trump shutting down flights from China?
Do you remember the federal judge shopping to oppose canceling Chinese Air flights?
Do you remember who opposed using malaria meds?
They are the ones who brought us to where we are today!
My take is the US’s virus response was a rehearsal for stealing the presidential election.
They both use the same methods, 100% control of all; political actors, communications channels, deep state actors, and the justice system.
You will never see an investigation of the virus response any more than you will ever see an investigation of election fraud.
I remember the first time they locked down an entire city for no good reason, other than they could. It was after the bombing of the Boston marathon. How quickly people forget.
What I don’t get is if you knew ahead of time your military base was going to be bombed, wouldn’t you just leave the base, returning after it had been bombed?
That the base commander didn’t do this, shouldn’t he be courtmarshalled, instead of being awarded a purple star?Zerosum:
Sparkle Socks has set up Chladni plates at all of Canada’s international airports to create standing waves of $880!
Canadians returning to Canada by plane are electing to pay a $880 fine, walkout of the airport free to go home and get on with their lives, rather than pay $2,000 per person to be imprisoned in a hotel for a minimum of 3 days if they test negative and 14 days if they test positive.
So freedom is being sold in Canada for $880!
That makes perfect sense! It is all about the money!
PEEL Region. Oh my God! That is where I live!
So I am supposed to put my 2 kids in cages?
But … there is a slight problem with this stupid plan!
They are nearly 21 and 25 years old and they are bigger than my wife and me!
I am more worried that they might get the idea of putting the old folks in cages instead!
I am going to go back into my cave and hide!About kangaroos. They are big buggers too!
When I was working in Australia for a year, my car was equipped with plastic front bumpers which were rated “good for one roo”! Most Aussies had steel bumpers good for unlimited roos!The basic therory of the front horizontal bars was to throw the hit roo over the hood of the car.
Some of my co-workers worked up in Queensland so on weekends they would head to the coastal beaches. Then on Sunday night they would head back inland to the coal mines. Nathurally the curious kangaroos are attracted to the headlights!
One poor fellow hit a roo at 100 km/her and ended up with a big red in his front seat. Though technically dead, the roo proceeded to kick the living daylights out of the driver with it’s two big hind feet!
Due to the rather high numbers of costly roo encounters, an accountant in Milwaukee sent a memo to the service engineers in Queensland requesting that they stop hitting roos!
I never hit any roos nor did I even come close to either. I did this by not driving at night.
Back in the early 1980s when I first arrived in Sydney, I remember see bumper stickers saying “pEat Kangaroo Meat! 50,000 Americans Can’t Be Wrong!” This was in reference to a California restaurant chain called “Jack-in-the-Box” that went out of business after getting busted for selling kangaroo meat!
I am sure by now joe has already forgotten about the Crimea!
Interesting how the MSM can’t stop talking about Trump. Must have something to do with their ratings! joe is so popular that he doesn’t even move the MSM’s needle!
Don’t you just love how “green” bitcoin is! All that energy wasted on something that is not real!
As for John Durham doing a report, Barr clearly said he was not doing a report!
Durham was supposedly doing an investigation, not a report!
We have no evidence that Durham actually carried out any investigation.
Just like the guy before Durham, never did an investigation.cloudhidden:
Thanks for the link. I visited the website. Ivermectin seems to be called Stromectol. Is that what you ordered? In 6 or 12 mg pill size? Thanks.
So they have only measured the Atlantic Ocean currents since 2004 but they can tell us the world will soon come to an end! Yeah, right!
Dr.D:
Nancy is just going to ignore the law.
The $15 minimum remains in the bill.
The law is what Nancy says it is!Regarding Trump giving up on releasing documents. He didn’t give up! Barr torpedoed him!
Remember Barr secretly appointed Durham as special prosecutor just before election?
That meant nobody had to listen to or obey Trump anymore!
And so they (CIA, FBI, Joint Chief of Staff, etc. all) ignored Trump’s requests for the documents to be released!One of the top 10 companies John Day list, I believe controls the company that holds title to all of the US’s listed stocks!
I am not surprised by joe’s governments behavior.
If you had just stolen the election wouldn’t you keep lots of troops on hand? Check.
Since you know you are not the legitimate government wouldn’t you suppress all opposing voices? Check.
Wouldn’t you try and exert maximum control over all aspects of society? Check.
Wouldn’t you want total control of all forms of communications and media? Check.The beat goes on.
It is only a matter of time before the people become disgruntled with joe.
As things deteriorate the people will start blaming joe.
Then the people might remember joe isn’t their legitimate president.
Then joe becomes “not my president”!
Oh, yes! Trump not my president!Dr. D:
Regarding Kagan and people “not” being willing to pay the price for empire. This happen to Britain after WW2!
After WW2 ended Britain elected a new peace time Labour government, throwing out Churchill’s war time government. Since Britain was broke, a secret empire policy was devised by this new government to try and keep it’s empire.
It left all the British troops, especially the airforce, stationed in Britain’s colonies in place, only demobilizing it’s European troops. The colonial troops were naturally not informed of this policy of course!
It didn’t take long for the colonial troops to notice that they weren’t going home too. It wasn’t long before the conscripted citizen solders went on strike! The strike spread quickly to nearly all of Britain’s overseas military bases! The top brass called it a mutiny, arrested, and threatened to execute ring leaders, badly over playing their hand!
Then supporting strikes started happening in Britain eventually forcing the new peace Labour government to back down and start bring the colonial troops home.
After 6 long years of suffering to win WW2, the British people were in no mood to pay the price required to keep Britain’s empire! Shortly there after Britain granted independence to most of it’s colonies bring the mighty British empire to a sudden end!
It was Kagan be dammed!

It wouldn’t be hard to sneak into the White House and micro-chip joe because Obama had the White House bugged before he left!
The two financial articles flagged for our reading pleasure present “almost” two opposing views of our current economic situation.
Jim Rickard sees a long economic depression of slow or no growth.
Michael Burry sees a crack up boom ending in hyperinflation (a recession/depression usually soon follows).Both scenarios are possible.
We could even see both. If we follow the 1920s/1930s scenarios we will first see a crack up boom followed by a long depression. Barry followed by Rickard.
It is also possible we just see Rickard’s long depression only.
One thing we do know is that each new dollar of debt now produces less than one dollar of new growth. In other words a dollar of government spending now only produces a multiplier of less than one or a fraction. Each time the government spends a dollar the multiplier fraction gets smaller and smaller.
We have now reached the time where governments must continually spend more money just to keep the economy from collapsing! If the government were to only spend the same amount as last year, the economy would start contracting!
A normal healthy economy does not need government spending to grow. So clearly the government has interfered in the economy so much for so long that the private economy is so badly distorted that it is no longer able to grow. An example of this is “financial repression of interest rates”, denying the market place a signal on the price of money. There are no longer any free markets left!
Notice we now hear terms like crony capitalism, privatize the profits and socialize the losses! We know this isn’t capitalism at all!
The danger of governments continually borrowing and spending more is at some point people start losing trust in the government’s money. Look for currency markets to see it first. The problem is nobody knows exactly where that point is! It is like predicting which snowflake causes a avalanche!
One thing we do know for sure is government borrowing and spending has started going up exponentially!
That semts up both Burry’s and Rickard’s scenarios.
I don’t like either option. I also don’t like the MMT option either. There are no good options left, only bad and worst.
The problem of suing someone is usually the discovery process.
Dominion has probably solved this problem by judge shopping with a little help from the deep state.
That MyPillow’s Mike Lindell has the evidence I have no doubt.
Being able to introduce the evidence into court is 100% in doubt!
The deep state judge will rig the law so that Dominion is protected from the truth!
That Mike Lindell will lose, isn’t in any doubt!(P.S. If I knew how to, I would provide a link to some evidence.)
Love the Esher cartoon. Showed it to my wife. Then had to explain it!
So not everyone is capable of understanding the cartoon!Zerosum:
Another way of looking at this whole business of creating money out of thin air, is to what great lengths the US government is going to, to hide the obvious from you!
Zerosum:
You are 100% correct that there is nobody with the cash to buy US bonds!
If you look carefully at the 3 things I listed above, you will note that all 3 are tied directly to the US government!
1. The Fed now buys just over half of new US bonds issued by the US Treasury. They create the money out of thin air to do so, or in their more politically correct Fed speak they “monitize” the US government debt. Government spending keeps going up. It never goes down! It can never stop growing!
2. Captive US pension are required by US government regulations to maintain a certain percentage of “safe” US bonds in their portfolios. The amounts required keep rising.
3. Wall Street banks have to buy US bonds to create new derivatives. New derivative are constantly required to manipulate the markets such as keeping US interest rates low, suppress gold and silver prices, etc. This demand never stops because the amount of money keeps growing every day!
I hope you now see a pattern! It supports what you are saying! It is MMT all the way!
Nice picture of a wonderful time of peace in Beirut that no longer exists!
Yes the contrast between the old and the new!Brings back memories roasting lamb on an open fire in the Sahara desert!
In the late 1950s and early 1960s Beirut, Lebanon was a wonderful place.
You could go skiing in the morning then sit on the beach in the afternoon!
All of the Middle East banked and vacationed there.
No more.So now the “Muppets” are evil!
I remember when they banned the Road Runner & Coyote and Bugs Bunny as too violent! Look at how incredibly violent their replacements were!
Andrew Cuomo the same Democrat who tried to empty the New York teacher’s pension fund!
Everything his hands touches, dies!
Zerosum:
Yes, it is MMT time!
They are hoping MMT will releave them of the burden of ever having to pay back what they have borrowed!Zerosum:
In case you are wondering who is lending the money the US government borrows it is now mainly the Fed.
Another large lender are “captive” US pension funds required by government laws to buy US bonds.
Another major buyer of US bonds are Wall Street banks using them to create derivatives.A salt water battery?
I read the brief article , rather short ordeals, and come away with the feeling that this isn’t a battery but rather a power generating scheme.
They imply the requirement for large continuious volumes of fresh water near a large body of salt water.
We tend to think of batteries as self contained units to store energy.
Needing to continuiously pump fresh water in, pump fresh water out, then pump in salt water, then pump salt water out, sure sounds like a system requiring a lot of energy to make it work, not a battery!
The evidence is there for all to see, if only everyone would open their eyes and look!
This crisis was used to drive an agenda of crushing the freedom of the little people.
Little businesses all closed. Big businesses all open. Crushing competition.
Governments increasing their control over their people with lockdowns.
Increasing police powers without oversight nor requiring warrants.
Big tech increasing censorship of information.
Vacinnation passports indicating who is state compliant and who are enemies of the state.The price that governments paid for vaccines is a closely guarded secret because the politicians don’t want you to know how much in kick-backs they are getting!
The more they paid for the vaccine, the larger the kick-back is.
One thing about vitimin D and ivermectin is that it works well against all viruses!
Only the vaccines worry about variants. But that isn’t a bug but rather a built in feature to ensure endless future profits.
If one looks at the power data during Texas’ cold snap it is easy to spot what failed first.
The wind turbines stopped and solar stopped. Green energy failed dropping to zero.
Then natual gas power generation shot up to replace the failed green power sources.
Overall power demand in Texas suddenly shot up.
Then the cold started taking out a few of the non-winterized fossil fuel power generators,
a nuclear power plant, and natural gas pipelines.
Green power was nowhere to be found. It went AWOL.Nothing that happened in Texas comes even close to what happened in Quebec in the late 1990s.
absolute galore:
I studied electricity in early 1970s. In my rather short life, I have seen tremendous improvements in electrical energy use.
Take light. We went from the ordinary light bulb that produced more heat than light to LEDs which produce more light than heat! The same for electric motors! The same for gas engines! The same for computers!
This is what Ivan Illich failed to understand and is one reason why few remember him. He was too rigid.
