This vaccine induced spike proteins outcome is really going to be sad to watch.
What we don’t know yet is how long the vaccine induced spike proteins will remain in the body.
Will the human body’s natural immune system eventfully be able to regain full control, stopping the reproduction of spike proteins, and start repairing the damage done?
If not, then how quickly will the vaxxed start dying off?
Will we start seeing average life expectancy fall soon?
So many questions and concerns with all governments hiding everything they can so we can not find out the truth.Zerosum:
American officers are very definately running this Ukrainian war. Things are going very badly for them too.
First the US didn’t expect to totally lose the war in the air, to the Russians. That means no planes or drones. Right now the Ukrainian army is 100% dependent upon US satellites and US drones flying along the western Ukrainian land border and off the Black Sea coast, to serve as it’s eyes and ears.
The US has never fought a war without total air superiority since WW2. Russian mobile air missile defense systems totally dominate Ukrainian air space. Nothing can fly without being shot down. (Except that bird that pooped on joe!)
All along the Donbas front the Russians maintain total electronic warfare presence such that phones, radios, and GPS don’t work within 24 kms. Russian electronic warfare is so intense that it is able to blow the fuses on Ukrainian artillery and mortar rounds, hundreds of meters up in the air, before they land!
Ukrainian artillery has no chance against Russia’s artillery. Unless Ukrainian troops start surrendering they will be slaughtered. The neo-nazis will make sure nobody surrenders.
Yesterday the Ukrainian army had a very bad day.
First, the Russians fired some missiles killing 1,100 Ukrainians.
Second, a 1,000 Ukrainian marines surrendered in Mariupol at one of the 2 big industrial plants.
Third, the Russians are pumping water down the air ventilation shafts for the 24 km of tunnels and bunkers underneath the neo-nazi held steel plant. If the noe-nazis block the ventilation pipes they will all drown in 2 days. If the neo-nazis don’t block the ventilation pipes they will all drown in 2 days. Same outcome, either way.
Fourth, the 2 US generals trapped in the tunnels don’t need to worry about drowning. The neo-nazis have been ordered to eliminate them, since dead men tell no tales.Since the Ukrainian War began, the US has lost more aircraft in the US (due to vaccine injuries and politically correct woke pilots) than Russia has lost over the Ukraine.
So this morning I wake up to discover, that as an investor, I am a psychopath!
I have invested in many things such as my education.
Now I will freely admit I mostly learned just enough to be dangerous!
My company provided me with an electronic meter and I was responsible for ensuring it suffered no harm.
Everything I did required at least 2 meters.
So I bought a second meter to make my life easier.
One boss said I couldn’t use my personal meter to set up company equipment.
It was against company policy.
Being a field service engineer, I was always far from Milwaukee.
So I just didn’t tell him which meter I used in my work.
If the company meter ever got damaged, there where many forms that had to be filled out.
However, if I got electrocuted there were no forms to be filled out.
Luckily I never had to fill out any forms.
Clearly I am a psychopath!So NATO to span both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and become NAPTO!
Biden going to meet India’s Modi. Hey joe, you know that Trudeau by any chance? Him dress funny!
Modi will ignore him like everyone else in the white house does!So BoJo met Z in Keiv. No he didn’t. It is a 7 hour train ride from Warsaw to Keiv or 14 hour round trip. They met on a stage set in Poland. BoJo the clown and Z the puppet!
My One Tree Maple Syrup Operation:
Sad to report my maple syrup operation was sanctioned by spring about a week ago. Old Man Winter has forsaken me! Nights in Toronto are no longer falling below freezing.
I boiled my last litre of sap tonight.
I believe I collected about 31 litres of maple sap since late February yielding about 3/4 of a litre of maple syrup after boiling it down 40:1.
I learned a lot more about when maple sap flows and when it doesn’t flow.
I really enjoyed this activity as it helped me pass the winter better.
I will definately do it again next winter!Zerosum:
Those were the motor stages of the missiles you see on the ground. The motor stage separates from the warhead once all the fuel is used up. These are old Russian missiles that the Ukraine inherited from the USSR over 30 years ago. Russia no longer uses these missiles as they have much better ones now.
Aspnaz:
I have also come to realize that Covid was but just a sjingle step in a process to deprive us of our freedoms. Digital currencies are another such step in which Canada is taking the lead in.
Russian Artillery
One thing that I would like to touch on is Russian artillery. Russia’s military is geared up for a contential war. You can trace this feature back to WW2. That how Russia finally beat Germany.
Today US artillery is no match for Russian artillery. US artillery is not designed to fight a contential war. The Russian’s new artillery can shoot farther, faster, and more accurately, period.
So going into phase 2, we are likely to see Ukrainian forces in the Donbas cauldron crushed. Yes these are the Ukraine’s best equip troops having 8 years to dig in. So these battles will initially be big artillery duals.
Also there are no big cities for the Ukrainian to hide in, in the Donbas region. I believe many of the small towns occupied by Ukrainians in the Donbas are largely empty of Russian speakers too. So expect these towns to get flattened, especially after what happened in Mariupol.
The US satellite and drones flying along the Ukrainian border and Black Sea, will be the “”remote” ears and eyes for the Ukrainian’s old Russian artillery, since the Ukrainians have completely lost their eyes and ears (no drones). Russia’s eyes and ears will dominate the battlefield in “real” time.
Russian artillery will be very concentrated. It will sadly result in a complete total slaughter. Once the Ukrainians have been routed, Russian armored forces will move in to finish off what is left of them.
Surrender, I believe, is no longer an option. Too many Russians have died from the initial go slow approach. Ukrainians are killing all Russian POWs. The Russians are no longer willing to suffer high casualties anymore. This is the sense I get from what I have been reading.
Dr. John Day:
So far the US has denied a US General has been captured in Marupol. But of course, we won’t know until it has been officially denied! Yes he has a mistress!
Just a few more juicy rumors to throw out there for your viewing pleasure! It seems the general has trouble keeping his you know what in his pants! He has a travelling Ukrainian “wife” code named “Klute” (Jane Fonda movie ’71?). She serves as his translater. Just before the Russians invaded, it was noted that she had arrived in Marupol! Naturally the Russians quickly surrounded Mariupol thereafter!
Now there are rumors the general has been captured by the Russians. But who knows?
One thing that is probably true is that a large number of Nato people are trapped in Mariupol. Russians have intercepted 6 different languages via radio so far. Numbers range from 20 to 100 to 250. We do know Marcon fired his top intelligence official over the failure to get French military out of Mariupol. Marcon also desperately tried to set up an escape corridor with Putin too (obviously forgetting what happened in Syria).
Since there is plenty of smoke, there is likely a nice warm BBQ fire somewhere in Mariupol!
Special Prosecutor Warning!
Whenever you hear a Congressjonal critter cry we need a “special prosecutor”, you need to become suddenly very, very, cynical.
Appointing a “special prosecutor” is a dirty rotten trick congress repeatedly plays on Americans. Why would Congress be so anxious to appoint a “special prosecutor”? It is because a “special prosecutor” has to report everything he does to congress, so congress can front run the evidence to ensure nobody ever gets prosecuted! That is the “Why”!
What congress does not want is an ordinary DofJ prosecutor who doesn’t report to congress! Congress wants total control!
Special Prosecutor John Durham appointed by deep state Bill Barr
Now as for toothless Special Prosecutor John Durham. You see he is not allowed to prosecute anybody in the government! We all know 99% of the real criminals were all in the government! You know like Hillary!
So who is left for Durham to prosecute? Maybe Sussman. But everybody is saying “No” you can’t prosecute him because he has connections to too many government people. So Sussman will probably escape too. This is to be decided shortly by a carefully selected court judge, of course!
This political legal theatre is completely rigged!
TDK:
Sylvia Jones is sadly my Ontario member of parliament.
I already wasn’t going to vote on account of her support for the vaccine mandates. Now I have a second reason not to vote. Since I won’t be voting neither will the other 3 members of my family. I will make sure I am safely at the cottage and not able to vote.
Noirette:
Thanks for the reminder there are no free elections anywhere. France, Canada, US, UK, etc.
Guess I will have to repeat this. Nobody can beat Russia! Russia is simply too vast a territory for anyone to conquer! While you are in Russia, beating the crap out of some Russians, olde man winter will be beating the crap out of you until you die! If the cold doesn’t get you, then the spring and fall mud will!
Russia, Russia, Russia! Mother Russia!
One day I was sitting in the operators cab with my Russian drill crew plus my interpreter. We had lost electrical power, a rather frequent event in mines. So all we could do was wait until power was restored shortly. To help past the time, my drill crew began having a rather lively debate! Soon my usually quiet interpreter was drawn into the lively debate!I also noticed she was turning a bit red too. This lively debate went on for some time. Finally my interpreter turned to me and said the drill crew where having a debate about whether I should marry a Russian woman! The final verdict was No! The reason given was because the drill crew didn’t think I was tough enough and they were afraid if I married a Russian woman, she would be able to beat me up! I am forever grateful for their wisdom!
Instead I married a 1/2German//1/4Scottish//1/4Welch woman! It is the last quarter that I have to watch out for!
Like Father, Like Son.
So Justin Trudeau is banning foreigners from buying Canadian real estate for 2 years.
Maybe Justin forgot about what his father Piere did in his day? A special 10% foreigners tax!
Remember how that turned out?989
Central Banks are set up for the sole purpose of financing wars. It is no coincidence that the US Fed was set up in Dec 1913, just months before WW1 started.
It is no coincidence that Britain became a world power shortly after setting up it’s central bank in the late 1600s.
Some folks need to wake up about Russia! No country on earth can fight and win a conventional war in Russia. Russia is too vast a territory for anyone to conquere. Only the Russians know the lay of their land. They can retreat forever! How long can you stretch your supply lines? No country on earth could survive a nuclear war better than Russia. So thinking a conventional or nuclear war can beat Russia is totally insanity! Russia is simply unbeatabe! Genghis Khan, King of Sweden, Napleaon, Hitler, …… US!
(P.S. I have been in Russia. It is simply impossible to fight for more than a few months of each year! For 9 months of the year the Russians will merely watch you fight to the death with Olde Man winter! Oh, yeah, try moving in the spring and fall mud!)So “woke” Trudeau wants, what is left of Canada’s ever shrinking military, to wake up! Yes, he appears to be throwing them some “woke” crumbs. Actually those “woke” crumbs are really meant for his liberal party members to partake of, not the military. Naturally there will be no accountability for how these funds are spent. The Liberal Party’s favorite indoor sport is “graft”.
So the WEF crowd are going to take over the world by totally crushing all of us peons with inflation and shortages of energy and food, served with a big side dish of “zero freedom”. Like Roman Legionaires paid in worthless copper coins, I won’t fight for you!
So Canada is going to develop a central bank digital currency to protect Canadians! Trudeau/Freeland.
Another nail in the coffin of freedom.
Neither unvaxxed Australians or Canadians are allowed to leave their counties. I suspect it is the same deal for unvaxxed New Zealanders too.
Another nail in the coffin of freedom.
Marupol:
Yes, we know there are still some Nato people trapped in Marupol.
Five (+ 2?) Ukrainian helicopters shot down with four escaping, so far. First try with 2 helicopters. One shot down, one escaped over sea. Second try, both shot down over sea. Third try 5 helicopters land in Marupol. On take-off two shot down, three escape. One shot down over Russian controlled land, with 2 Ukrainians surviving. One an intelligent officer the other the gunner. From this three different foreign badges recovered. A green beret with pin assumed to be French Foreign Legion but green beret made in Germany so could also be German. (Possible fourth try, both shot down over sea.)
Speculation: Three helicopters escaped likely with valuable personal.
The west side of Marupol is now fully covered with manapods so more future attempts are highly unlikely.
Russians have brought in eight old 240mm mortars. These hurl city blockbusters. Great door knockers for deep concrete bunkers too.

How Markets Really Work: You walk into a saloon. Three men are playing cards at a round table. One chair is empty. You ask if you can join them. Yes. You sit down. You are dealt in. You win the first round. They deal again raising the anntie. You win again. Another round is dealt with a rising auntie. You lose. More rounds are played until you lose all your money. Out of the game, you go to the bar for a stiff drink. You observe another fellow enter the saloon. He takes your empty chair. First he wins, then he too looses all his money. He joins you at the bar. Now you know the market is totally rigged! The three card players are working together to separate you from your money!
Three Wall Street bankers are showing a new client around NYC. They brag about how much money they are making. They stop at the NYC marina, each pointing out their big yachts. The client asks where are their client’s yachts?
In the goode olde wilde west days, if you had a serious dispute with a neighbor, you hired a six gun. You then hoped your six gun was faster than your neighbor’s six gun. In today’s uncivilized world, you hire a lawyer and hope your lawyer is more crooked at bending and twisting the law than your opponent’s lawyer!
My Wife mentioned that Putin’s face appears more swollen or rounder and she is wondering if he might be suffering from thyroid cancer as he has a doctor with him 24/7. Some are saying he looks tired.
I would think waging an unwanted war would be stressful enough to make one very tired too.This Ukrainian War to the last Ukrainian.
This slow war has some rather unique features to it.
Since the Ukrainians are not going anywhere, the Russians can take their sweet time about this war.
The Russians are invading with less than 1/3rd of the defending force.
With so much time, the Ukrainian Prez has been making a grand propaganda tour of the world via Zoom.
Ukrainian’s Hollyweird producers have been busy planting fake false flags that keep falling down!
Russia’s go slow war gives Nato more time to win the propaganda war.
The Ukrainian army is losing the ground war, but this doesn’t matter.
The Ukrainian army having no eyes or ears of their own, now rely 100% upon Nato’s eyes and ears.
The Ukrainian government and army are being 100% remote controlled by Nato controllers.
Ukrainian artillery depends upon Nato to locate Russian targets!
Natio has been very busy flying drones 24/7 all along Ukraine’s land and Black Sea borders.
Nato is only interested in winning the propaganda war, the longer the better.
Nato considers the Ukrainians to be all expendable!
Russia is trying to get as many Ukrainians to surrender rather than kill them.
Nato won’t let the Ukrainians surrender.
The Neo-Nazis in Marupol are slowly but surely being reduced.
Nato is forcing people in the west to pay the price for this war that Nato started.
Everybody “thinks” the next Russian objective, is finishing off the Donbas cauldron.
There are no “Troy Ounces” involved in any of the above!
This isn’t your Dad’s war!About them ounce thingys:
Yes, I really screwed up my ounces which is embarrassing considering I have probably seen and handled more gold and silver bars than the average bear! I have even worked in an underground gold mine too. And all of the copper mines around the world I worked in, also mined some gold as a by-product too.
Should I bend over?
Dora:
Your comment about the elites needing tons of men to fight future wars verses now trying war without men.
After WW1 France found itself to be so short of men of fighting age, verses Germany, that it seriously influenced their military thinking during the inter war period from 1919 to 1939. France’s falling birth rate during the inter war years, meant the French military could not count on births to replenish the lack of men.
This is the main reason, I think, the French settled on a defensive war strategy for the future. In theory you need less men to defend and more men to attack. Thus building the Magnot line all along the French/German border, made sense.
In addition to static defense, the French strategy also called for mobile armored units. The shortage of men influenced the design for 3 man tanks instead 4 or 5 man tanks. The French wanted tanks that required less men to operate.
So even after WW1, the elites in France were already thinking of how to fight a future war using less men and more equipment! They just didn’t get it quite right, despite having mechanized the French army to a much higher degree than the Germans.
This paying for gas in Russian Rubles thingy &is quite simple really.
a) Europe converts Euro to Rubles, then buys gas with Rubles
b) Europe buys gas with Euros and Russia converts Euros to RublesWhat is the difference?
a) can not be sanctioned
b) can be sanctionedIt just puts funds in a bank where the West cannot seize it!
This 5,000 Rubles for a gram of gold thingy.
– This current deal only applies between the Russian Central Bank and Russian banks until June 1st when the 5,000 Rubles per gram of gold price will likely change to reflect the gold market on June 1st.
– This deal is to protect domestic Russian banks, refineries, and gold mines in case the West tries to manipulate the gold market like they did with oil in the past. Gold has remained about $1920 since.
– There are 28.35 grams per Troy ounce of gold. So the current price of gold per ounce is 5,000 Rubles x 28.35 = 141,750 Rubles.
– For a 80 Ruble/USD exchange rate; 141,750 Rubles ÷ 80 Rubles/USD = $1771.88 USD. At that low price no sane Russian is going to sell their gold to the Russian Central Bank!
– So before a Russian would consider selling their $1920 USD ounce of gold to the Russian Central Bank, the Ruble’s exchange rate would have to strengthen to below 73.83 Rubles/USD. (The math; 141,750 Rubles ÷ current $1920 USD ounce of gold price = 73.83 Rubles/USD)
– As for the London/Chicago paper gold markets, it appears to be business as usual. One does have to wonder if they have already sold future Russian gold mine supply that they are no longer going to get due to sanctions. But then again they are pretty good at selling gold they don’t have!V.P.:
Gun control laws are a big asset for armed criminals.
They know their prey are unarmed and easy pickings!
Like Chicago!It isn’t the same in Houston!
There the prey are assumed to be armed!Michael Reid:
My brother (UofW) did a work term with Alcan in Kitimat, B.C. The power plant had a battery room so they could restart the water powered turbines should they all go down at the same time. They used lead batteries that required distilled water top ups. Since these batteries were really old, they wanted to replace them. After studying all options they replaced them with the same style of lead batteries!
P.S. We sure haven’t been getting very many sunny days!
Pondering the WEF’s fatal weaknesses.
I have already mentioned the lack of energy as the first fatal weakness of the WEF’s plans to control the world.
A second fatal weakness of the WEF’s plan is that only the wealthy countries have the luxury to implement the WEF’s foolish Build Back Better agenda. Wealthy countries are the minority in this world. Poor countries vastly outnumber the wealthy. Poor countries simply don’t have the money that the WEF’s would need to implement their plans in these poor countries.The WEFers remind me of the fatal weakness of communism. Communists assumed people would work hard for other people!
But just to hedge my bets on these bat shit crazy WEFers, I hope Putin throws a left-handed monkey wrench into their well laid out plans!
I also hope “socks” Trudeau’s latest WEF’s plan to cut Canada’s emissions 40% below 2005 levels by 2030 speeds up his own demise!
Killing bankers:
That Britain’s parliament was debating various means to kill bankers in 1720s, the timing seems about right. I believe that would have been just a few decades after the central bank of England was established. That means there were still a few alive that understood the evils of Central bankers. Sadly we do know, of course, the central bankers won that debate.Even some of the founders of the USA fully understood the evils of central bankers. But in the end US bankers won, even if it took them another 200 plus years to do so, overturning the US constitution.
Calvin and Camping:
I knew a father who dragged his family camping everywhere. Today none of the grown kids want anything to do with camping! Funny that!
My Father, by the time I arrived in this world, however had had the joys of camping completely drummed out of him by years of rough bush camping up north during WW2 with no netting or insect repellent. Camping was not a safe topic to mention around my Father!When I was travelling the world, I prefered camping in the lobby of the Hilton!
Now I prefer camping at the island cottage!Seabirds:
Now that hot water is inspiration driven by sheer desperation!
Maybe that is the backup plan for when the sun doesn’t shine in Germany!A little Dr. D here.
Russia:
So the G7 and Nato sanction Russia saying the Russians can’t use dollars or Euros. Russia is banned from buying or selling in dollars or Euros. If they have any dollars or Euros, they are now worthless!Logically Putin calmly solves this problem by saying Russia will now buy or sell in Roubles instead.
Now the G7 finance ministers say Russia can’t buy or sell in Roubles but only in dollars or Euros! It seems the WEF crowd suddenly realized that trading in Roubles would destroy their long standing Build Back Better carbon tax “world control” scheme!
P.S. Putin please save the entire world by trading in Roubles only!
Covid:
The very best thing about the covid vaccines is that the WEF are eliminating all of the stupid people who trust their governments. These people are now dying off, all alone, in silence, one by one. If you don’t go quietly, you will simply be cancelled. Since those that believe the promises that their government would take care of them, should the vaccine harm them, are dying or already dead, there is no need for the government to rush to compensate them. The government can easily wait longer than you can stay alive. Afterall the government’s original purpose was to kill you, not help you!Only the smart people who don’t trust their governments, yesterday, today, or tomorrow, will now survive! The non-vaxxed will need to carefully select other non-vaxxed partners, or your line will die out. The “natural” law of the jungle!
Michael:
I love your woodstove! You have the glass doors so you can watch the fire without having to open the door to check the fire’s status. This wood stove is of course much more efficient than the woodstoves my Grandmother or my Great Grandmother had.
Also I think their woodstoves were not completely black but had some kind of lighter colored porcelain covering in the front. More feminine colors! The woodstoves also had round plates on top that you lifted up using a wired lifting handle.
I do know they sure used a lot of wood! That was one of my jobs. To get more wood for the woodstove. You know “just in time” wood!
When my Father was courting my Mom on the farm, one of the tests was to see if he could split wood for the kitchen stove! My Father didn’t think he did a very good job of it, but obviously passed the test as far as the women folk were concern! I am sure they were slightly biased!
Michael Reid:
The pictures of what you have been doing look great!
Good to see that your fresh water storage tanks are near your woodstove and up high, where the hot air is, because the stored water can absorb a tremendous amount of heat.
It reminds me of some European stone stoves that contain a very large volume of stone, in the middle of the house, to absorb the heat from the fireplace. The downside of course is it takes longer to heat the place up but then you can let the fire go out at night and the stored heat in the stones will keep you comfortable until morning. In your case the stored water does this for you. So a great way to moderate the temperature swings in your house.
Yeah, cutting your own lumber and then milling is a good winter project! (The saw dust and milled shavings burn well. I stuff them into plastic bread bags to make my own logs that can be easily stacked and stored.) A lot of work for sure and those saw blades get dull too quickly for my liking. Best to have about 3 blades so you don’t have to constantly stop to sharpen a blade in the middle of a project.
Another thing about cutting your own lumber is how you store the lumber after it is cut. Especially if it needs more drying or is green. I would think knowing the rings in the lumber can help you figure out how to tie various pieces of cut lumber together, to counter the desire for the wood to warp. (I use the tree rings at the ends of the boards to tell me which way a deck board should be placed up or down. Will it warp up or down? Warping up bad because it traps rain water.)
I have often used the thin strips, that come from store bought lumber bundles, placed between boards, for air circulation, before stacking them and then tying them tightly together to try and reduce any future warping. A belt strap ratchet works really well for this kind of job since it doesn’t damage the wood so much. Still using top, bottom, or corner wood pieces helps too. Natually I still put any heavy objects I have handy on top of the tied lumber. (If I use ropes, I usually need to drive wooden wedges under the rope to get enough tension.)
Talking of saw dust, when I was a little kid (3 or 4), my Father had a table saw. He built a wooden drawer underneath the saw, to collect the saw dust. I however loved the saw dust to make little roads on the floor with my dinky toy cars and trucks. Naturally my Father got rather tired of constantly having to clean up my messes. So hidden at the back of the wooden drawer he put a wooden block that had to be turned 90 degrees before the saw dust drawer would open. This stumped me for a week or so until a I got desperate for more saw dust!
After great amount of circulating of the table saw and studying of the problem, I finally figured out how this drawer locking mechanism worked! Ah yes Murphy’s Law! I made my great break through on the very morning the local firemen were going around town checking everybody’s basement for fire hazards! When they came, my Mother confidently let the firemen go down the stairs into the basement since my Father had the night before cleaned up the basement
Since it had taken me some time to puzzle out the table saw’s saw dust drawer, there was more saw dust than normal available! I had hit Fort Knots! So I had energetically spread the saw dust all over the basement floor and was busy driving my dinky toys with great abandon, when the firemen came down the stairs with my Mom close behind! Well you can imagine my Mother’s horror to see all of this wonderful saw dust everywhere! The firemen just took one look, laught, and left!
I was never allowed to live down that event!
Maxwell: Good to see Acme Incorporated is still active, at least in the virtual world!
Today’s good news! We are one day closer to using up the last Ukrainian!
It is hilarious listening to everyday Russian soldiers talking on their radios. A Russian commander demands that tank crews get in their tanks and move forward! The tank crews reply we outta f’king gas! If you don’t get us some f’king gas we might as well f’king go home! Commander, mad, says then f’king go home! Then the general over hears the commander, and says get in your tanks and get moving! That’s an order! A chastened tank crew replies but we don’t have any gas! The general explodes and says then buy some dam gas at a local gas station! Or beg, borrow, or steal some gas! The stresses of war!
Yes, the world is going to hell in a hand basket. Situation completely normal! I am more concerned about the path Little Red Riding Hood is taking our hand basket in. She is afterall vaccine injuried and the hand basket might be heavy. Then there is the small matter of the big bad Russian wolf, ever since granny died from the Fauci’s clot shot, the WEF plot might have changed.
It is very gratifying to see that in Europe, Trudeau’s popularity is lower than Putin’s.
Michael Reid:
Work is love made visible. So true!
But work doesn’t have to be labeled as work!
Doing anything that you enjoy counts IMO too!
I have been collecting maple sap but I am enjoying it, so I wouldn’t call it work per say. Focused effort yes! Holding 500 ml of maple syrup gives me great satisfaction!Your collecting firewood might give you great satisfaction such that you look forward to it! It is hard not to love the sight of a cut and stacked cord of wood!
The same for planting and harvesting a garden like Dr. John Day does!Events in the Ukraine are as clear as mud!
The Ukrainians are clearly losing!
The Russians don’t plan on being finished with the last Ukrainian, until mid-May at the earliest.It looks like at least the eastern part of Mariupol has been cleared of neo-nazis.
It is also possible all of Mariupol has been cleared.
Videos of Mariupol show what I thought was happening.
The Russians are now using the low casualty approach to the neo-nazis.
That means doing whatever it takes to kill neo-nazis without getting killed.
The top halves of tall apartments where the neo-nazis were, are totally destroyed.
You fire a rifle bullet, I fire a 120 mm tank round at you. Any questions?
There was a victory parade in Mariupol today.Clearly the Russian meat grinder is slowly but surely working it’s way to the last Ukrainian.
The Ukrainians, using missiles, hit 2 Russian supply ships in a port. One was damaged and left for repairs. The second ship caught fire so the captain wisely opened the valves and sank the ship to eliminate the risk of it exploding. That was today’s Ukrainian victory.
Meanwhile Biden is in Brussels to convinced the European zombies to jump off the cliff instead of walking along the edge!
Nice of the Europeans to remember Trudeau so fondly! At least Europeans are free to say what we here in Canada are not free to say. And Trudeau wants a new jet so he can to travel to countries that don’t want him.
Remember, we are the WEF’s ultimate target!
The US is fighting the Ukrainian War to the last Ukrainian!
Meanwhile the Russians have switched to a low casualty approach to fighting the war.
That does not bode well for the Ukrainian army.
The Russian army has been in the field for a month now.
They have worked out any kinks, and are now acclimated to local fighting conditions.
They are now a well oiled lean and mean fighting machine.
The same can not be said for the Ukrainian army.
Their is no longer any central Ukrainian army command structure left.
There are no Ukrainian army supply chains functioning.
Individual Ukrainian army units are now left to their own devices.
All Ukrainian army units are surrounded and cannot move.
The Ukrainian army has very little night fighting capabilities.
For the Ukrainian army, simple things like food and fuel are starting to run low.
The Russians are switching to night fighting operations.
All Russian air operations are now run at night.
No surrender now means slaughter.Good till the last Ukrainian.
Clearly the US has long been planning for the war in the Ukraine. Thus the PR propaganda war right off the bat plus sanctions on Russia.
Russia has had over half it’s foreign reserves seized by the US. Why? There are 2 fractions in Russian government, one pro-west, and the other wary of the west. It appears the woman in charge of Russia’s central bank is pro-west and she is the one who left Russia badly exposed. Going forward, however, she has been “ring fenced” by a new committee made up of the wary. They are now in control of Russia’s economy and many aspects of the Russian central bank activities. The wary are the ones who pushed for oil and gas priced in roubles announced today.
That slow joe has gone to Brussels to declare more sanctions, indicates the US is doubling down again in it fight with Russia and her allies. I see it as a struggle between the WEF crowd against those not buying what the WEF is selling.
The WEF are the ones selling higher energy costs through their Build Back Better scheme. The major flaw in the WEF’s plan is the increased dependency upon uneconomic green energy supplies. The major built in problem with green energy is that it takes more energy to create and then maintain green energy, than green energy produces.
One can only afford to dabble with green energy providing you are enjoying good returns on your fossil fuel supplies and only for as long as those supplies are plentiful. Once your fossil fuel supplies tighten and the amount of energy expended to extract them rises, then you no longer can afford the luxury of dabbling in green energy!
Following the WEF script means putting yourself at a competitive disadvantage with those not buying what the shit the WEF is selling! What the WEF is selling is communism! The fatal flaw in communism is expecting that people will work hard for other people! No they won’t! People will only work hard for themselves!
One of the main planks of the WEF is to drive up energy costs. On Biden’s first day in office he signed an executive order implementing Elizabeth Warren’s energy policy designed to do just that! Plus killed Keystone pipeline too. Similarly Trudeau has implemented policies to slow and stop Canada’s fossil fuels industry. I suspect Australia has done the same. Certainly the EU has done so. There is a pattern here.
In the long run I fail to see how the WEF policies will prevail, simply because they require greater amounts of energy to implement combined with policies ensuring there is less energy available!
We are all going to suffer and pay the price for this fatal political intellectual folly, just like Russia did starting in 1917. It took Russia just over 70 years to hit the brick wall of diminishing returns via greater energy expended for less energy in return.
The question is how long can we last doing this?
Oroboros:
I think by using this hypersonic missile, the Russians were also sending a very strong second message to Nato/US.
Those 30 cruise missiles striking near the Polish border without any warning was the first message (we can jam all of your radars)!P.S. I read that Nato special forces were using their cell phones thus tipping off the Russians to their presence. They would likely know better but probably thought they were safe to use their cell phones.
Did you know that Russian submariners are not allowed to wear modern electronic digital watches because the signals from these watches can be tracked! They are issued special old wound watches instead!
Dr. John Day:
Yes, the Mongolians certainly had an edge on their competition and good communications plus training, would certainly go a long way towards achieving that goal. The Greeks and Romans also usually had good battlefield communications (flags/horns) too.
In more modern times, I credit having radios in each tank for the German’s early WW2 successes, especially against France.
I guess, from time to time, we forget to read history!
One thing I would like to mention is something nobody is talking about in the Ukraine right now. Is the spring/fall mud!
The Germans remember!
If Ukrainian mud is anything like Saskatchewan mud, or Wyoming mud, that means you can not go wondering around the countryside as you please!
No, you have to stay on the highways. You are truly stuck on the highways!
If you pull over onto the shoulder of the highway, you won’t be getting back on the highway anytime soon!
Remember the Russian convoy north of Kiev stuck on the highway?
Yeah, it was the mud and nothing but the mud!
Now some Russians did managed to create log driveways to hide in the forests but even that was difficult!So both the Ukrainians and Russians are stuck fighting on the highways in the countryside. Mud plays no favorites!
