Older VW Rabbits have small diesel engines.
Spider’s Web, I was hoping someone would mention the older VW Rabbit. I drove a white Rabbit in Connecticut, and on below-freezing days it wouldn’t always start–or at least not right away. I don’t recall how I finally got it running–or hopping–when I needed to go somewhere.
These days my two feet serve as four tires. My “engine” never freezes where I live now, though sometimes it gets a little overheated on a humid, hundred degree Fahrenheit August day in Houston!
Homemade Alcohol as a Fuel to run your car, heat your home, and cook your food
(It can be very cheap to make, and it burns very clean unlike other fuels.)
I encourage people to watch this video clip (and follow the other links).

I thought that this guy had a cool, large scale set-up.
Alternative Fuel-Ethanol Distillation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X_rNsjyj8U
Actually, most modern cars do not need “adjustments” to run ethanol mixed with gasoline. …if I am not mistaken, I think most modern cars can perform on a 50/50 mix with no problem because of sensors, while some cars are made to run on a much higher mix of alcohol.
Lawnmowers and small engines will clog if run on alcohol, because the alcohol will loosen the tars and gums which are found in gasoline.
Personally, I don’t like the sulfur in diesal.
I’ve talked to guys who did the vegetable oil for diesal. One guy used an old water heater. It seems like a good way to also make soap.
Even used vegetable oil from restaurants seems pricey to me.
Vegetable oils have gone up in price quite a bit;, some with supply chain issues. The underlying crops have also risen.

Brad, Thanks for the post!
I bought David Blume‘s hardcover book Alcohol Can Be A Gas around 2007-2008.
You are correct in what you say. Blume talked about the experience in a video, but here it is in print. The incident set him back financially because his book was tied into the Public Broadcasting series and he had to fight to get the book rights.
QUOTE
“When the energy crisis of 1978-79 struck, Dave started the American Homegrown Fuel Co., an educational organization that taught upwards of 7000 people how to produce and use low-cost alcohol fuel at home or on the farm.”
“KQED, San Francisco’s Public Broadcasting System station, asked Dave to put his alcohol workshop on television, and together they spent two years making the ten-part series, Alcohol as Fuel. To accompany the series, Dave wrote the comprehensive manual on the subject, the original Alcohol Can Be A Gas! Shortly after the first show aired, in 1983, oil companies threatened to pull out their funding if the series was continued. KQED halted the distribution of the series and book (see this current book’s Introduction for the whole story).”

Brad, Power to your friend!…that is part of us moving towards a more decentralized future.
Energy – Solutions
Every person in the world utlizes energy.
Without a doubt, energy sources can be a viable, exchangeable commodity.
Whether it be firewood or other forms of energy, I think there is a lot of opportunity for those who have a decentralized mindset.
Saw Dr. Strangelove, loved it. Didn’t expect to laugh that much at the movie. After learning the truths of the past by researchers like Corbett, Grove, and more, I feel it made the humor hit extra hard. It really shows just how fucked up the system is and how stupid the people working to keep the system afloat are. Also now I can finally understand the connection between Dr. Strangelove and current political personas that Corbett constantly made over time. The operation paperclip reference is fun, the fluoride is hilarious and truthful at the same time in the movie, and the pure stupidity of everything is brilliant. Fun stuff.
Does anybody know how to view the “pie ending” to Dr. Strangelove? That’s the original ending for the movie before Kubrick scrapped it after JFK got shot.
I’m on an off obsessed with Kubrick and have just got Dr Strangelove to rewatch, partially as it’s so relevant to current events. I found this video about the ending which is useful and describes how you can see it – (which is not easily). https://youtu.be/09GzTO6cFvI interesting also because I’m also on and off obsessed with the jfk assassination and this is what provoked the change in ending.
Dear Corbetters,
I hope you are doing well given the level of worldwide insanity which we are being forced to witness. JC’s jaunt out of “news” and into an artistic space is a lovely example of maintaining mental/emotional health in these times.
I too am shortly to give a pause to the Ukraine situation. Its pretty clear where it goes from here, with the terms of settlement now the only unresolved matter. (i.e the USA/Globalist community are now so alarmed by the geoeconomic ramifications of what they’ve done that they are wholeheartedly looking at the 3-D space and could not give two gnats arses about what happens in Ukraine).
I’ll be publishing an extended piece on Tor, of all things, in about two days hence. Why? Well, given the censorship and extreme level of opinion corralling happening in “the west”, I think the time is opportune. As a Tor advocate, JC and I disagree on some matters of “Tor” and this will be a nice opportunity for you to take differing perspectives into account. On this, JC and I are in unison: read widely, consider, make your own choices!
The article will feature and provide source links to an eclectic collection of little known but very important characters from the last quarter of the 20th century. Communities of cryptographers, software “freedom” advocates and a new generation of programmers armed with increasingly powerful computers loosely interact, culminating in Crypto-War I, in which the radical cryptographers and coders win a Pyrrhic victory. The name drops will include, David Chaum, Matt Blaze, Richard Stallman, Moxie Marlinspike, Whitfield Diffie, Martin Hellman, Ron Rivest Adel Shamir and Ian Goldberg along with other even *lesser known* people like James Ellis, Clifford Cocks and Malcolm Williamson.
So, that article is coming, but it is really a preface to a couple more articles in which Tor will play a role, and these next articles are about community care. This first will describe the level of surveillance being used by substack, to inform my readership of it. Its not that bad compared to the nasties like Google/Amazon, but I feel its important to inform the readership. The article after that will actually be a “solutions” type episode in which I’ll be offering some command-line tools for GNU/Linux people. Yes, I’ll be offering my own code/tooling.
I’m looking forward to all of the above, following what JC will be up to, and what you all have to say in this month’s Open Thread.
Be aware, investigate and inform!

PS: I shall “reply” to this post with a link to the Tor article when it is published. Feel free to disagree and shoot down all errors I make. 🙂
When you cover Tor cover Jacob Appelbaum. Tor is a military operation started by Naval Intelligence.
Appelbaum was a military contractor for Tor and their spokesperson.
I do hope you will take a critical look at Surveillance Valley and the good work done on the Pando website.
Tor more and more looks like a kettling psyop and if it is and was, how many people were drastically affected by it?
Hi weilunion,
Part 1 does not cover Jacob Appelbaum. His ejection from TorProject is a controversial topic involving claims of sexual abuse. This diverts from the purpose of the article, though I personally find the topic interesting. One of Jacob’s advocates has been Suzie Dawson, who herself was hounded by the New Zealand secret police, before fleeing to Russia.
Surveillance Valley does not feature directly (Hi In-Q-Tel!).
Again, the topic is Tor and to help people understand what it is (that will be part 3, a technical deep-dive), what its ideals and purpose are, and from where it comes. Most of these topics are addressed in Part 1.
If the topic is Tor, then the topic is the US military and Board of Governors that is a CIA front organization that backs and funds Tor. Among others.
I read part one and the following:
“The question of who uses Tor invites an important question. Imagine that you are the USA’s Naval Research Lab attempting to develop a covert communications channel between soldiers/operatives “in the field” and services provided on-line by the USA’s military. If this “covert channel” is only used by USA military/spy personnel then as soon as it is discovered, everybody using it is immediately fingered as such.
This problem is solved by opening the tool to the wider public. Now the “covert channel” is a “public channel” and is composed of military, civilians, and all walks of persons making the job of “fingering” much, much harder. The observers need to actually do work to sort the unimportant from their intended targets.
One could jump to conclusions and say “that is why the Naval Research Lab’s open sourced the project”, which may be true. It does not, however, refute the observation. An effective covert channel is far better protected if it is suffused with “innocent” traffic, placing the burden on the observer to distinguish.”
This is Dingledine’s rap since Yasha outted him and it has not changed. It is nothing new.
The fact is that Tor was started by the military and remains a military contractor.
Appelbaum was paid $90K per year from the Board of Governors to pitch it.
Anyone who uses it must go into it with the idea that they probably are being monitored.
And again, the matchstick men who promoted the network have many, many questions to answer and play a grand part in the story as you allude to with Cypher Punks.
I will await part two where you deconstruct many fears held by millions around the world.
Thanks for your work.
Hi weilunion,
Thank you for reading the article, and identifying areas that you found of interest. I am most pleased.
The article is “in defence” of Tor, and I use my editorial ability to give this slant to the article. However, I am interested in well founded accusations to question the legitimacy of the project organisation. You identity one which I raise, and well done. It is a valid concern. I minimize it by argument, but it is not erased. I hope you can see that I am attempting, despite my editorial influence, to be somewhat balanced.
As for your remarks, I would first like to ask exactly who this “Board of Governors” is. Please provide a reference. I am NOT asserting that what your claim is false. I would like to learn more. So, thank you in advance for any details of source documentation on this body and particularly its actions.
You state:
“The fact is that Tor was started by the military and remains a military contractor.”
which is a fact. I will be addressing this common criticism of Tor in Part 2.
You also state:
“Anyone who uses it must go into it with the idea that they probably are being monitored.”
I disagree with your implication, not its absolute truth. The “absolute truth” is that every single network, globally, is being monitored. The question is which are more difficult to monitor? This will become explored in parts 2 and especially, 3. I am sorry to make you wait and I hope it is worth your while.
Again, thank you for your engagement, and I am sorry to make you wait for parts 2 and 3. 2 should be out late next week. Its actually ready to go, but it is important for me to let part 1 breathe a little, before the follow up is published. By the publication of 2, 3 will be ready, and again I’ll give a little air to 2. So, it’ll be out around Sat next week when 3 comes out.
Then we can really get down to business and argue about technology. The political considerations are important and relevant. In the end, its the technology that either conforms to TorProject’s stated political goals or not. The tech is the bottom line.
So, thank you for engaging with the article.
Did you watch the first 26 minutes of the video source?
Regards,
2-D / YesXorNo
Whether we can argue about technology will be a test of my writing skills. I am attempting to explain all of the complexity of Tor’s network operations for a non-technical audience.
I am enjoying the challenge, and in the end my readership will be the judge.
Again, thank you for your engagement. I look forward to your future comments, and will respond.
“THERE’S BEEN A LOT OF SPECULATION—and no small amount of hysteria—about what President Trump may do with Voice of America and its parent federal agency, the Broadcasting Board of Governors. Reports in Politico and The Washington Post implied a takeover plot is afoot for Trump to mold VOA to his own purposes, as if POTUS has no other channels with which to communicate to global audiences.”
https://www.cjr.org/opinion/broadcasting_board_of_governors_house_trump.php
I will let you take the time,2-D, to investigate the Broadcasting Board of Governors ties to the CIA.
It has little to do with Trump and more to do with psyops here and abroad.
It is they that give money to Tor. And that is extremely dangerous but accounts for much of what was done on behalf of Tor.
Always follow the money.
Even before that, 2005, Tor was busy setting up their system in Iraq. And they were funded then by the military industrial complex.
Sure, Soros is all over. He too works with the CIA. That is fact. That he was a Nazi is fact too,but I digress.
Soros is like NED. He is the private philanthropic part of the global transnational corporate system. Working for the CIA can be done in the capacity of a appendage. But no one as powerful as Soros can fall far from the CIA tree.
The CIA is the praetorian guard for the global transnational corporate system.
weilunion,
Aaaah, the Broadcasting Board of Governors. I am familiar with them (VOA, RFE/RL, etc.). They seem to form a triumvirate with NED and USAID as publicly declared civilian organisations to help the CIA operations people, with the BBG leading the propaganda arm to promote colour revolutions.
Of course, the CIA is allowed to run foreign influence operations. However, domestic operations are strictly prohibi… Oh, Operation Mockingbird. The Church Committee investigations were quite revealing.
The not-so-funny thing about CIA operations people is that they’re so compartmentalized or full of cool-aid that they consider themselves patriots rather than minions for the trans-nationalists. Or maybe they don’t care and are drunk on power.
You are quite right to point out that BBG and Soros are all over the funding for TorProject. Addressing this fact in my narrative on Tor is a challenge. I shall revisit it and unify the funding bodies under this BBG umbrella (Soros + State Dept + VOA etc.). It is a useful collective identifier.
Thank you again for your input.

2-D / YesXorNo
“Anyone who uses it must go into it with the idea that they probably are being monitored.”
Sure,like substack people kettle themselves for they get de-platformed and there is always some in the front or back alley waiting.
Tor is voluntary. If one needs privacy why play around? Don’t use the computer.
But most need a computer.
Nothing on the computer will ever provide privacy. If one wants to get the best there is, understand that it is not fool proof.
If part two is out, and I cannot find it, please post it for us to see.
To quote the last two sentences of the article itself:
“This article will continue in Part 2 where common arguments to not use Tor are deconstructed, and a testimonial from the author outlines why he uses Tor.
This will be published in the coming days.”
2-D / YesXorNo
Part 1 of what will be a 3 part article is published:
https://yesxorno.substack.com/p/society-and-technology-what-why-how
Part 2 will address the usual arguments to doubt the technology of Tor, or its funding or its staff and/or background. That will be out in a few days.
Please feel free to check my sourcing. If you can spot any errors, I would be most grateful to hear about them.
Investigate, and make up your own mind!
No errors in sourcing.D-Chess. What many want to know is the history of its funding, year by year and by specifically whom.
Some of us know.
Most do not.
We need a published forensic audit.
But without a full disclosure of who funds Tor, its connections to the military, what Tor promises to deliver remains out of context.
I will await part two as you mention.
I will say: Everything is known and there is no encryption in the world that cannot be untangled and broken.
The answer is not to look for anonymity on line; that is fighting Windmills.
We must clearly admit what you said the Cypherpunks understood, that the internet,like a hammer can be used to build a house or break your head.
Thus, the internet, as a tool in the tool chest of the means of production, is owned by the ruling class.
To play cat and mouse with them seems to me a waste of time.
They must be expropriated. How, remains to be seen. But the Cypherpunks proved to be right.
Thanks
Hi weilunion,
“No errors in sourcing.D-Chess.” Given your comments to date, including the above, I gather that you have knowledge on this wider topic. Thus, I take that statement as a very high compliment, and thank you for it.
“What many want to know is the history of its funding, year by year and by specifically whom. Some of us know. Most do not. We need a published forensic audit.”
This is referenced in part 2. But, you can be Jonny on the Spot, if you wish. As a 501(c) TorProject is required to publish its funding. It is here:
https://www.torproject.org/about/reports/
Go create the forensic report you desire and PUBLISH it!!! You get editorial control. Make your argument!!
“I will say: Everything is known and there is no encryption in the world that cannot be untangled and broken.”
Bruce Schneier (another “insider”) has stated that military intelligence is generally about 30 years ahead of public tech. I think he’s over stating just a little; 10 to 20 years seems more likely. But, this implies that the USA military have operational quantum computing which can instantly break Diffie-Hellman type encryption. Daniel Bernstein and others are working on “Post-Quantum” (PQ) cryptography, and they know what the NSA (operation Bullrun) has done to weaken standards published by NIST. However, the current public tech for PQ requires masses of resources to run and is still early in development. Thus, Tor aren’t using it yet as it will pretty much bring the network to a halt.
“The answer is not to look for anonymity on line; that is fighting Windmills.”
Okay. I’m not going to die on this hill, but I’m happy to make an effort. There is no “civil society” when the overlords know everything about everyone. There are other strategies than trying to preserve what little promise the Internet had in its early days.
But, we’re both using it. Right now.
So, I am going to keep fighting this windmill, which is entirely the purpose of this article. In the end, its tech. Let’s have fun once part 3 comes out.
“… How, remains to be seen. But the Cypherpunks proved to be right.”
No. The CypherPunks got some things right, and others wildly wrong. Watch the Marlinspike video.
Again, it is a pleasure exchanging ideas and discussing the article with you, weilunion. I look forward to the next installment.
Regards,
2-D / YesXorNo
Hi weilunion,
I have included a limited funding report in part 2, as you requested.
US govt agencies, including Soros, are all over the place. I still dont think it tells one much, but data reporting is useful.
If you wish to do this yourself, I’ve given you the link. Total funding is near the top of each of the 990 reports. Funding sources are in Section “O”.
Have at it.
/2-D
Thank you first of all, for your civility. Secondly, for the subject matter and debate.
Yes, I have immersed myself pretty well in this subject.
As an activist from the 1960’s, we always knew we were spied on and informed on.
This went with the job and nothing has changed other than the stakes.
The ruling elite own all the means of production globally and this of course means communication.
I would venture you are right that intelligence, be it private or public, is light years ahead.
Again, I do not blame the ‘hammer’ or the technology I blame the use of the hammer, who owns it and who controls decisions surrounding it.
Technocratic fascism, the stage of late stage fascism which I believe we are in, will continue to produce technology far beyond human comprehension.
Five G is just one example.
And it does not look like there are any world wide or even national movements worth their salt.
Reminds me of one of those old electric ping pong machines with the silver ball bearing.
Eventually I see nation states as mere vassal states in the transnational global capitalist order that is being served and prepared as we speak.
No, there is no public commons if everything is known.
I am afraid the enclosure movement in England in the 17th century that gave rise to industrial capitalism and the neo-enclosure movement, still ongoing, have rendered the public commons extinct or soon to be.
Without the public commons we have private market man and the privatization of every aspect of daily life to the point each movement, subtle or non, is nothing more than an exchange value.
It means the end of say, the library where I send me e-mail from, will be boarded up or replaced with a private cyber cafe.
Do let us know when part three reveals itself and be well.
weilunion,
I emerged from a recent medical emergency with some new understandings. One of these was that life is too short to be spent arguing with people. Very little product comes from it, apart from stroking one’s own ego. I have committed myself to constructive debate, where disagreements are welcome and one may learn from one’s interlocutor.
There are two key elements: respect and compassion. Respect for those who engage in constructive debate, and respect for oneself to disengage from non-constructive debate. Compassion is one of our species most powerful capacities, and is to be widely employed in social interaction. It checks emotional stupidity and facilitates wider understanding.
It is exchanges like ours that motivate me to write, and to strive to improve.
Thank you for divulging some personal information. It helps me to understand the world view which you offered. If you were “an activist from the 60s” you’ve had a few more decades to develop wisdom than I. I have just begun my 6th decade and hope that I am now sufficiently developed to be able to hear the wisdom on offer.
I share your concern for transnational power structures. I am particularly concerned about the loss of the commons. For this I do have some power, and since my “9/11 : A Limited Theory” article (2021-08-31) all pieces are published under CC-BY-SA 4.0. The move to declaring creative commons and it coinciding with this article is, coincidence. In retrospect, it seems appropriate. Serendipity at work.
I spent some time yesterday revisiting part 2 or the Tor piece. I have added a brief funding analysis, as mentioned. I have also added a section on “Threat Modeling” or “Threat Assessment” to explain my usage of Tor, its purpose and limitations. I very much look forward to your comments on any aspect of the article, though especially this section.
I expect to publish part 2 on Wednesday or Thursday, and will update this discussion as soon as it is published.
With thanks for the respect you have shown me,
2-D / YesXorNo
Sadly, Part 2 has reached about 4500 words, which I’ve learned is a bit too much for many. Thus, the article will now have 4 parts, separating part 2 into parts 2 and 3. However, I will publish 3 rapidly after 2, as it is quite short.
This is all a consequence of my revisit to part 2 to incorporate the financial analysis and adjustments to the “Why not use a VPN?” argument. It required more clarity.
Lastly, will come the technical annex, part 4. As promised, I will update this comment sequence upon each publication.
Regards, 2-D
Mark Twain said, “Never argue with a fool. Onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.”
You have one quite a bit of work and should be quite happy it.
There is so much more we do not know.
I would recommend Dave Emory and Spitfirelist.com for a nuanced commentary.
One does not have to agree with Dave in order to appreciate the 43 years of work he has done.
I am like you, I have no interest in Facebook arguments or online banter.
I am glad I could be of help and will look or your work!
I have written seven books and millions of words on the internet. No more. The repeal of the Enlightenment, underway, and the return to serfdom and pre-literacy has left me undercut by history.
But I am happy that there are those of you that are finding your voice and encourage you to continue.
Now, they even tell the reader how long it will take to read and article and if it is more than a minute or two, we are out of luck.
Note weilunion, we have reached the “indent” limit, and no more “reply” buttons are forthcoming. We have broken corebettreport!
TeeHee.
Thank you for the Mark Twain quote. His one-liners are piercing.
As for sites, like Medium, informing me of reading time, I get the idea that they think they’re being helpful. But, it merely re-inforces the sense of helplessness and “no time”. Its all crap. You have whatever time you make (to paraphrase Withnail from the classic film).
New discussions need be made as we’ve hit the wall here!
Dear Corbetteers,
It is gratifying to see an increased interest from this community in my “laying out the background” Part 1 article on Tor. The history presented with its references would, I hope, be enough to engage your interest. The article is essential to what will be more contentious in parts 2 and 3.
For now, the surveillance goons at shitstack inform me that the Corbetteers are being outdone in excess of 9/1 by direct contact.
There are no battle lines drawn. There is just a discussion awaiting your engagement.

A Generation of Idiots and the Tools We Worship
By Danny Weil
Worshiping the ‘tools’ we as humans have been able to manufacture within a framework of ‘predatory capitalism’ will have far reaching results that the world cannot really even imagine, although Einstein tried:
“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones” (ibid).
Oligarchies and the forces of production in the hands of a few
The superiority of the forces of production and their concentration in the hands of a few predatory oligarchs out to make nothing but money under the auspices that property is wealth, has now arrived.
The pictures tell a thousand words and as we see the destruction of human interaction in favor of artificial intelligence we witness the rise of the “idiot” that Einstein so clearly warned us about.
https://www.opednews.com/articles/2/A-Generation-of-Idiots-and-by-Danny-Weil-Capitalism_Class_Einstein_Jobs-141222-244.html
Yep.
“”Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights”.
Thanks for the link.
Part 2 of the “About Tor” series “Refutations: Deconstructing Arguments Against Tor” has been published:
https://yesxorno.substack.com/p/about-tor-refutations-deconstructing
Its a little earlier than I was anticipating. However, I was so encouraged by weilunion’s engagement that extra effort was applied. The major part of that effort, with weilunion’s nudging, has produced a much better article, with more nuance and better sourcing. I found sourcing that I had no idea about!
I thank weilunion again for his encouragement.
I hope you find the article stimulating. I can inform you that my final conclusions were not where I expected them to be, which is quite refreshing.
As with the last article, I am most happy to engage in constructive dialogue regarding the article’s contents.
Lastly, I feel that this was an article I was meant to write. I have the historical understanding and field knowledge to be able to engage the topic. This combination of attributes is quite rare. I hope I have made the topic comprehensible and interesting. If I have failed, I would very much like to know where it can be improved. I will be paying close attention to comments here, and thank you in advance for any to come.
Part 3, my testimonial on why I use Tor, will be coming out in a few days. That will complete the non-technical sections of the greater article. Then its down to brass tacks.
Peace be with you and your communities,
2-D / YesXorNo
Dear Corbetteers,
Part 3 of the “About Tor” series “About Tor: Testimonial: Why do I use Tor?”, a Testimonial and political opinion section, has been published.
The piece moves from summarizing what has been discovered to a personal testimonial in which Mr. Limited Hangout “Snowden” makes an appearance. My knives are briefly directed towards Omidyar. Some more personal history ends with some principled positions.
From there, the article concludes with a view of the Internet from a Tor “user” perspective, and moves on to more political topics like information control.
All 10 000 odd words of all three parts of this polemic, or analysis, are there for you to use over the coming Easter Weekend to avoid your painful Aunt, or Uncle, or Brother or whatever.
Don’t do that.
Choose social engagement, instead. The articles will still be there later.
Have a lovely break,

Dear Corbetteers,
I hope you have all gained as I have from my social interactions during the Easter break.
The last component, part 4, of the Tor series has been published. There is very little politics here. Its a technical article delivered for a non-technical audience.
https://yesxorno.substack.com/p/about-tor-the-closet-under-the-staircase
I hope you find the article informative. My advice is to read it, but also watch for updates. I have already directly contacted the lead architect of Tor and asking him for correction of any errors in the article. Should there be any, they will be clearly noted in the Publication/Update history and as updates the text. I preserve my errors, and add updates around them to correct them. The same process will be used. Author accountability.
The intention of this article is to provide a deep description of how Tor works for a non-technical audience, and I value more than anything else its technical accuracy. It has taken weeks to produce, and I am proud of it.
I stake my claim that this is the most comprehensive article written on Tor’s operations for a non technical audience, ever.
Peace be with you,
YesXorNo
Dear Corbetteers,
While obtaining very useful commentary from one member of the Tor community, I was also sucked in by an information (political) operative. It has been a joy to not only expose their handle, but more importantly their methodology.
The article is titled: Infiltration: Dumb as a Door Nail. The subtitle hints at history “Still being fed by Mockingbirds”

To current ukraine events i was surprised about Scott Ritter´s neutral view,
good listen with Alex Thomson, a former GCHQ sowjet focused, this talk was at Fuellmichs friday session which he still does to fight the lies about covid etc
https://odysee.com/@Corona-Investigative-Committee:5/Session-98-Scott-Ritter-Odysee:4
The Ritter interview was very interesting. Thanks for that.
A really good interview with Scott Ritter. Interesting. Was glad to hear the information about cell phone use behind ‘enemy lines’ talked about. A few videos I saw of Ukraine soldiers removing phones from the pockets of dead Russians and calling their families, was pretty bad…until now we know it was a farce.
Scott Ritter is not neutral. He claims that under Article 51 of the UN Charter Russia had a right to ‘invade’ Ukraine.
He has made this argument many times.
Scott has a big ego, but he’s probably correct.
Yes, agreed he is arrogant and full of himself.
It is hard to judge.
Purposeful censorship and rally round the nation state flag.
Economically it will back fire.
That the U is supporting and training and arming Nazis is already known throughout the world: Azov Battalion, C14, Right Party, Sleboda etc.All Bandera fascists.
More than half the world,including China and India will pay for oil in rubles. That is like half the world. Africa and perhaps Latin America may follow.
Sanctions only heightened the fall, and perhaps this is what a controlled economic demolition looks like.
Hard to tell.
But Russia must den-Nazify as must the US.
March 24,2022 was the end of Bretton Woods.
What emerges,of course, is a stronger Yuan and Rupee.
For Empires there is grasp and there is over reach.
Here, it is obviously the latter.
Yes. Most of this, with a zillion references, is covered in my article of a few weeks ago.
https://yesxorno.substack.com/p/from-kiev-via-brussels-to-washington
Ritter is basically quoting the Russian President who invoked Article 51. I agree that Ritter is a little egotistical. He is, however, attempting to provide a counter-narrative to the idiocy being produced by western politicians and the media. There is some value in this.
The BEST article I’ve read is by an ex-NATO military analyst:
“Former NATO Military Analyst Blows the Whistle on West’s Ukraine Invasion Narrative”, Jacques Baud, Scheer Post, 2022-04-09
https://scheerpost.com/2022/04/09/former-nato-military-analyst-blows-the-whistle-on-wests-ukraine-invasion-narrative/
This does not cover the financial aspects, which IMHO, are the really big picture. These are covered in the second half my piece and supported by many a reference, including both articles and interviews.
Of recent note is the removal of Imran Khan as Pakistan’s Prime Minister as the USA continues its attempted “peeling away” of the SCO / BRI / Eurasian Economic Union. The public outpouring of support for Khan in Pakistan was quite a sight to behold. The game is not over.

On the flip side, Scott Ritter might have pedophilia tendencies for more than a decade if this article is true. The fact that he was recruited into intelligence more than a decade before he was arrested for masturbating online to what he thought was a child fits into a normal pattern of recruiting people which sexual disorders into intelligence so that they can be compromised and controlled.
To be fair, even with this article’s negative reporting, it still shows he has a consistent history of being anti-war. It’s just that he is an easily compromisable person. So I won’t want to put too much trust in his words, unless he matches each fact he presents with evidence.
IMDB says Oliver Stone created a documentary called “Castro in Winter”. I’ve tried several search engines but I can’t find a way to view or download it.
How can I obtain “Castro in Winter” ?
Have you tried pirate bay ?
I think it’s still up and there is terabytes of junk up there, though I kinda avoid it for fear of getting malware
I checked various torrent aggregators, but this documentary is nowhere to be found on there.
I found some unedited bits on gooTube but struggling to find it in it’s final form. Longest bit I’ve found in 34mins. Interesting nonetheless. It looks like OliverStone.com is down or gone completely. I wonder if that was by his choice. Seems unlikely especially with recent attention over the Ukraine film.
I use the Linux OS and put https://www.oliverstone.com and got 502 Bad Gateway. I tried on a new window and got Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead. Websites prove their identity via certificates, which are valid for a set time period. The certificate for oliverstone.com expired on 5/31/2019. Error code: MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT. Wonder what happened?
Someone didn’t pay their bills.

This strange phenomena you refer to is completely new to me. As a dad of a homeschooled child I am curious even if understandably out of the loop. Do you have a link that gives more information in a balanced “unwoke” way? If there is an article that is balanced about such an issue, that is. Or is it just a matter of searching the internet and reading anything no matter the source or perspective given the topic?
I haven’t had a chance to find aforementioned link, however I think it was probably a Q4C episode 🙂
Not this little frog
If your interest is purely as a dad you can’t go to wrong with Abigail Shrier who is very normie friendly.
You can see her do talks on YouTube, and if I recall she was on Joe Rogan and conservative think tanks… she knows the nuts and bolts of how this stuff goes in real life and families.
She is passing herself off as a conservative, and being Jewish will understandably go into the background funding or politics.
Do NOT underestimate the power of social media… I do not care how smart it good your kid is the mobile phone that has internet allowed is a weapon of mass destruction. There are literally hundreds of groomers leading kids into this online.
As a former atheist libertarian I can assure you the worst warnings the most nutjob religious right wingers put out in the 90s has come to pass.
Stuff I was lol’ing about is PUBLIC POLICY…most people really do not understand that its already too late to fix.
I know teachers who won’t put their kids in public school
In at least somewhat sane world “furry protocol” would be the title of a porno movie.

as previously mentioned many times in CorbettReport comments
https://www.corbettreport.com/march-open-thread-2022/#comment-132427
The Alex Stein “free Krispy Kreme donuts with proof of Vax” video clips haunt my dreams. One day, Alex had a bad case of Vax-caused diarrhea when he claimed his free donut.
The person in that chat room couldn’t be too good at math. If a fraction of the subscribers that James Corbett had on gootube alone supported his work at the minimum dollar a month he could have earned a fairly decent living. I expect and fervently hope that he has done substantially better than that.
As to his content. I know that he has addressed that very thing in a video somewhere in the past but it would take someone like HRS or Corbett himself to come up with a link.
But if memory serves. James explained that he doesn’t have any so-called sources. He relies on what is available to anyone online.
James puts in a a lot of time and effort into connecting the dots. And he is pretty damn good at it.
I agree, I give a buck a month and I have never watched let alone subscribed to him on gaytube. He may have help with his research but every single thing he reports is referenced in his show notes. And yes people send him info all the time, he constantly refers to members pointing out stuff and asking questions. He has even devoted entire episodes on how to effectively research. How is he “controlled” do you think he’s holding back info? If he is controlled I bet his handlers are pissed.
Jen
“….but get pushback from randoms online when I share your material and they claim “controlled opposition”…”
Ask them what they have done to expose the truth or alert people to what’s going on.
You will probably hear crickets or a FlatEarth screed…..at the end of the day it does not matter unless your putting your faith in a person rather than hearing, checking and judging what they say
Tina
Do you have a link to this story on a news site?
I did a search and found no actual news coverage of that story. If that is true then I would expect at least some dinosaur media coverage and did not find any.
Duck – i did a search on brave for “wisconsin school district furry protocol” This is the first I’ve heard of furries rights. omg really???? lol multiple items popped up – not the dinasaur medias you may be looking for, a couple from garien.com; couple from twitter & gootube; even one from the daily beast; even a nytimes search engine blip that states the furries dont get their glass boxes….no, I didn’t click on any and read them. still in a state of wft w this one….
HRS – the alex stein link was hilarious! Thanks.
the general referances to lizard kids makes me think of theories from David Icke…..
garden
I ask because when I looked at the links they were pretty much all the same story… the internet CopyPastes the same story- i think maybe its an automatic thing now.
If Fox news passed up such an obvious tidbit I think it may not be true.
It looks like the story is untrue, thankful

Just wondering what others think about the Zeitgeist Series and the zeitgeistmovement.com, which pops up when I am watching a video. I just watched the second zeitgeist movie, possibly of 2009, and found it eerily similar to the WEF 2030 Agenda. It seems a precursor of what is happening today, regarding social reset and technocracy as the solution. There are about four zeitgeist movies in all and the bloggers’ comments are that they are awakened by them. Quite recently, I watched an expensive, lengthy, free online summit of 7 -10 days which talked about world issues, need of social justice etc. and then unexpectedly, out of context, on the second last day, brought up the WEF 2030 Agenda as the solution. Also, we have been receiving numerous free, lengthy summits with good subject matter and some advertising at the end. However, since hosting services are expensive, I wonder if third parties are offering subsidies etc. to encourage online services and courses and the closure of small businesses. I wonder if others have also experienced this onslaught of free summits. T.Y.
– Zeitgeist –
In late February 2022, James Corbett briefly discussed the Zeitgeist Series.
Interview 1701 – Resistance and the Future on Revelations Radio News
https://www.corbettreport.com/interview-1701-resistance-and-the-future-on-revelations-radio-news/
I personally liked the very first Zeitgeist film as a dissemination piece, but I did not care for the stuff that followed.
Thnx for the link.
Lumen
Zeitgeist is pro Technocratic propaganda, with a good dash of New Age satanism thrown in.
Not surprised it’s pushimg NWO solutions since NWO types and fellow travelers have been behind most cults and social movements of the past hundred years…its just that most fizzle out or stay fringe. The hippy moment, sexual revolution, music industry, generations of TV programming, even some of the in internet subcultures are all manufactured.
It’s just the usual PROBLEM REACTION SOLUTION.
We’ve been their puppets all along. Thnx for the info.
Blackpilled said something along g the lines of the people who were NPC followers before are getting to be actual NPC level puppets what with the electric propaganda of today.
Normal people just need to work harder to keep our minds clear…
Hello everyone,
I thought after all these years I would do some shameless plugging of my art over here. Was fortunate to be part of the Corbett Report Truth Music back in 2015, and would like to present my music : https://jasonkohnen.bandcamp.com/
There is a selected works compilation offering a free/pay as you like introduction. Enjoy and be safe!
Jason
Jason, being a metalhead I don’t know much about electronic music, but Amzha is a work of art bones to balls. The truth is silent and as such it needs its messengers.
His stuff is not all electronic, it’s very varied, you might enjoy some of it.
If it wasn’t obvious from my comment, yes I very much like the compositions from this author. At least those that I have perused, can’t comment on the rest, obviously.
Ah is Amzha one of his too? I didn’t see that one. I was really impressed with some of the electronic ones being more into that than some of the doomcore doomjazz stuff even though I used to be in a noise outfit and various other bands Im a bit more chill now. Like that there are other people out there doing diverse or eclectic music and genres. Something for everyone almost. ??
Hey, Mr. Chairman. I have kept adding various bits and pieces over the years to the last truth music podcast.
https://www.corbettreport.com/truthmusic2019
Not many authors willing to stick their neck out, it seems. Eric Clapton, Ian Brown and I think the neinzih nein luft baloon woman are the only ones that come to my mind when we’re talking about countering the covid mass paranoid psychosis.
Hi! Really like your mixed works – it gives an overview of all the different styles and genres you do, you’re really prolific. Love that first one on there, meduxae? And the glowstix and the dubby ragga stuff is relatable being a 90s teen in uk.
I started a band camp recently bc I was planning to put my new work about current events there, I was halfway through an album and my old Mac died completely. I’m hoping to retrieve the data. Got my old work on soundcloud, it used to be good on there.
My truth music plug… a pretty old song (don’t like to think how old) about technocracy Kinda inspired by terminator and mashed with the Iraq war which we had just protested against, it has samples from the news around then in it.
GrimWar (a play on Grimoire)
https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/DRcB282vUD77Lie47
And a song about Divide and Rule also from a while back has real instruments in which is weird for me.
Divide and Rule/keep it together
https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/vu3PFok4rgadUMfY7
These are simple or minimal electronic songs made on very basic equipment in my cellar probs before I even had internet and it’s probably a bit lossy and needs turning up. It is what it is now. It’s not all like this. Some of my work is very daft and all definitely more art therapy than music.
Cheers
I have heard of concerns about the health effects of breathing in the exhaust of biodiesel made from genetically modified oil … or maybe it was the pesticide residues. Sorry… I can’t remember the source or the details (it didn’t apply to my life), but it was somewhat recently (within the past few months or so). It’s something to keep in mind and to be aware of.
I recently listened to this Feb 11, 2022 podcast about trying to get the evidence from September 11 to a grand jury: https://thewhistleblowernewsroom.podbean.com/e/the-whistleblower-newsroom-government-argues-to-take-away-us-citizens-first-amendment-right/. With these kinds of legal distortions and contortions, I can’t help but wonder if there is any hope of any good coming through the courts. The huge costs and time and money are outrageous… and for what…? I’m not saying it shouldn’t be pursued, but the system is corrupt beyond belief.
They serve a Spiritual Master while wants them to create a Beast system….maybe most of them don’t understand that but even in a pure materialistic sense most of them don’t know what the agenda is-just their own little part.
Climate change lies is a great topic to cover in detail. Once again their computer models are wrong. They can’t even get them to reflect observation. This is an important topic. Taxing us for our footprint on Earth isn’t about saving anything. It’s about more bilking the public for the oligarch’s coffers. Blocking the sun is the dumbest thing I’ve heard yet. Spraying chemicals – well we all know what that does to further poison life. Electric cars use oil, natural gas and nuclear power to charge toxic lithium-ion batteries that threaten to destroy the ocean floor. …and much more fraud upon the earth and the people that needs to be told…

Ha…I recall that playing Sim Earth I boiled the Oceans off a ton of times. I wonder if they are using the same climate model ? Lol
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SimEarth
Hmn… actually
“..Lovelock expressed that SimEarth’s simulation has ‘a degree of realism’ despite it being “little more than a game”, and he expressed that he hadn’t seen or been involved in any computer simulations of nature on the scale of SimEarth at the time, noting that many professional climate models at the time didn’t take clouds, the ocean, or biology into account.[6]…”
The Shadows are scared but have most of the power and money. They don’t like this TRUTH getting out, it’s too dangerous for them.

They have already created their own 5G network that is hardened against solar flares and hacks. The rest of us will have to go back to pigeons.

Hi everyone,
I’m wondering if the “vaccine” makers have stopped putting graphene in the “vaccines.” I haven’t seen any info on that, or if they’ve presented their excuses for putting it in there in the first place. Same questions about AIDS virus in the “vaccines.”
Thanks for info on this subject.
Anciana
Yes, thanks. I’ve seen that HIV is unrelated to AIDS. AIDS itself is real, though. I was living in San Francisco when AIDS hit the city very hard. Whether it’s a virus or something else, I don’t know, but whatever it is, reports are saying it’s in the scamdemic “vaccine.”
I’m still wondering about the graphene — the killer ingredient in the scamdemic “vaccine.”
Miasma scamdemic? What is that, if i may ask?
Jeff Berwick thinks the financial chaos will happen in the Shemitah year–Sept 2022. https://dollarvigilante.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Shemitah-Trends.pdf . Perhaps, their cyber atk will happen then–cyber polygon.
I don’t know if you heard about what the EU is going to do–must use QR codes to use ATMS. Also push for digital IDs and VX passport end of 2022/2023: https://www.globalresearch.ca/mandatory-vaccination-eu-just-went-through-under-radar/5776115. So cash will lose its value so you will be forced to use the digital currency. That is what happened in the EU. Currencies like Lira, Franc lost their value. They had to exchange their cash to the Euro in a certain time frame. If they didn’t, they lost their value.
Meat will be banned in USSA in 2024. It makes sense as they want to get us off meat so we will eat their lab grown meat:https://www.globalresearch.ca/united-states-ban-real-meat/5776170
Food shortages are being engineered now example using “bird flu” to kill chickens. “When you control the food, you control the people.” Ice Age Farmer who you can find on Bitchute and on Telegram discusses this.
In regards to Cryptos, Catherine Austin Fits doesn’t advice for it. See Planet Lockdown video. Said said they stand for “crypt.” She also said, your $ is on THEIR servers. How are they different than our fiat dollars? Not backed by anything. When they do their cyber atk(cyber polygon), they will use that as excuse to have internet IDs. How will you use cryptos then? Max Igan said due to these, he recommends getting out of them by end of 2024.
“….Meat will be banned in USSA in 2024….”
PRETTY SURE thats a prank 🙂
“….The U.S. ban is slated to take effect April 1, 2024..”
Though I bet they WISH they could do that 🙁
Maybe if we have a big enough war they could but short of that the public chimp out would dwarf anti-lockdown or BLM protests and meat producers are still a decent sized lobby not easily kicked to teh curb that fast.
I found a ton of almost word for word the same article but no gov source that I could find for the announcement…..hmn now I think about it I bet that article got auto copied “dead Internet” style
I downloaded the pdf on the EU vaccine passports and got google translate to convert it to English… I only had time to scan it but it just looks like regular the regular E-passport junk
Truth Seeker, at the end of the USA banning meat article, there’s this:
What a relief! No mandated happy cricket meals yet. But the links therein pointing to local food sources are essential all the same.
Haha…. the test if we read to the end of the article 🙂
Confusion will be our epitaph
There is this
https://www.corbettreport.com/survivalcurrency/
My understanding is that the Germans had a lot of local currency during the hyper inflation.
” I also found this interesting article (http://www.wakeupfromyourslumber.com/node/6720) about Hitler breaking away from the International bankers and creating his own currency based on an hour of labor, which dragged Germany out of the horrible financial situation it was in.”
This is just another fascist lie. Hitler and fascism were/are globalist projects. Fascism is globalism.
To make Hitler out as a good man taking his people out of the global order is par for the course in the age of confusion.
Globalism is fascism. Fascism is globalism.
You live under it.
“….Hitler and fascism were/are globalist projects. Fascism is globalism….”
Yes, as is socialism.
She is right. No personal escape from the hideous social nightmare. Only organizing with others do we stand a chance.
Everyone is looking for the recipe whereby they do not have to ad the egg.
Doesn’t work like that. Hard work is needed to bake a new cake; or in the alternative you will have a new cake with the same frosting.
Notsee Germany had quite a lot of industrialist support an was bankrolled up the wazoo. What was used to prop up the terrain during the 20 year armstice between the great and the excellent war was the crippling debt a.k.a. war reparations.

“…the 20 year armstice between the great and the excellent war…”

For anyone who is looking into getting a bit more online privacy, rather beginner friendly this ep of Higherside Chats discusses the matter
https://www.thehighersidechats.com/gabriel-custodiet-privacy-personal-security-freedom-in-the-digital-dystopian-age/
Thanks for sharing. Gabriel Custodiet also hosts The Watchman Privacy Podcast.
For those who would benefit from taking an online privacy course, “Privacy Action Plan” is offered by Glenn Meder. It is a stepwise method of implementing privacy that is designed to help even those technically challenged.
I wonder what we will do when a digital ID or biometric ID is required to go online. Has anyone looked into the P2P network option? How private will that be?
Everything is known. they know everything about us and we nothing much about them. You do not escape the monopoly capitalist panopticon by using encryption.

“..they know everything about us and we nothing much about them…”
If we know nothing about THEM it’s because we don’t look….most of what and who they are is public information.
If they know everything about US it’s because we put everything out into public in return for convenience and services…. you can keep most of your info private and make it mostly useless.

Hey, that’s pretty cool.
Thanks.
I’m still not buying Russia and China being part of the WEF plan to rule the world. Real power comes from the military or the militarization of things that should never be used to kill, such as CBR. Russia and China have the world’s strongest conventional militaries and considering their restraint toward the Ukraine and Taiwan, I don’t see them using their militaries recklessly for the glorification of Klaus Schwab.
posol
Its probably more like The Godfather or the Sopranos… they will go along with the WEF as long as the people running those countries benefit from it.
The second that it doesn’t benefit them AND they can act without getting smushed they will backstab each other…. its lucky for us that a House Divided cant stand for long

I thought that the concepts relayed in the following interview put things into perspective.
Interview 1714 – Iain Davis on the New World Order and How to Oppose It
https://www.corbettreport.com/davis-newworldorder/
For example:
Russia, China, Opec and other nations Moving Towards a MULTIPOLAR ‘Fair World Order’
We live in a synarchy. Do look it up.
And that synarchy is global and represents concentrated wealth and power.
A strategic reason for Putin not wanting Russian military to invade Ukraine recklessly is because there is a need to drag out the show. There are so many NWO policies to implement, both by the West and by Russia, u can’t just finish the show too fast. There is only so much changes the people can stomach in their lives. Also, they need to wait for the slow bureaucracy to play out, especially in Europe, and for markets to respond.
Also, as a former superpower, if it were to use full force, the Nazi troops will be decimated and the show would look very fake as there will then be no one to fight against. Hence it became more of an onus for the Nazi troops to kill their own population to keep up the impression of a large scale war rather than the fact that only small scale conflicts are really allowed to take place.

EXCERPT from article…
At an October Midland school board meeting, an eighth-grader said she was “confused, as a student, why kids are walking around acting like cats and dogs.”
Speaking at about the 1:30-minute mark, she described a student who walked around the school with a long cat tail, cat ears and little bells that jingled everywhere she went.”
“I was also walking down the hallway three weeks ago when a boy wearing dog ears barked at me and my friend as we passed,” she said, adding the boy left the school building on all fours.
“I don’t understand why these kids are acting so un-human and not happy with themselves,” she said. “These things just made me feel uncomfortable and so unnecessary as to why they’re barking at me, and it’s very distracting during school days.

The video of the girl is quite possibly a joke, like THIS guy and his lizard daughter

We should always be careful of DISinfomation…. tell people this kind of BS story and when they find out it’s not true they won’t believe you when you tell them true stories like the dad arrested for calling out the school board for covering up how a trans raped his daughter in the schhool bathroom or how a woman was raped by a transwoman in a UK hospital women’s ward and was gaslight for a year after police were told No Men were on that ward so no rape was possible.
Duck,
I posted Alex Stein and his lizard daughter up above days ago, prior to your post about Alex. So, I guess you are not paying attention.
On the girl, you can see her at the Midland Public School school board meeting in the video. People clapped.
Many people before and after her talked about diversity and inclusiveness which is Midland Public School’s “vision”. See their vision statement which I posted.
Thus, diversity and inclusiveness are an emphasized aspect of this school district…probably to the weird end of the spectrum.
(Masks were also a big issue by speakers.)
It is silly to think that the girl’s talk before the school board was a hoax. The audience certainly was on-board with her. She was an 8th grader who told about incidents at her school. Her parents had to drive her to the school board meeting.
(It should be noted the time-stamp of 2021.)
Duck, Don’t give me this “We should always be careful of DISinfomation”.
What I posted was a well sourced and easily viewed piece of information, along with quotes.
It was a news piece(s) that I posted.
I did not interject my opinionated ascertainment as a statment of fact (which, by the way, you yourself often do as a reply to people’s comments, and many times without sources.)
“…opinionated ascertainment as a statment of fact (which, by the way, you yourself often do as a reply to people’s….,”
Yes, I am opinionated.
However i will certainly give sources when asked and I gave them here.
I know you posted the Stein stuff, though TBH I only remembered after after I posted the link. I would have mentioned it had I thought sooner.
Either way the point is that doing such hoaxes is now a thing people can see and copy from the net…as to the reaction of the people ?
People reacted to “Incubator Babies” too but that did not make it real…and what about that Holly greig story which also turned out to be a nothing…? Or the Hamstead hoax? Plenty of People got plenty upset over that pile of nothing so yeah, people lie all the time
As to the perverse desires of the average school board sure I can imagine them doing such things HOWEVER
The lawmaker who MADE THE CLAIM PUBLICLY and the district BOTH DENY that it is happening
In my shallow search there is NO news outlet reporting it as fact
I COULD BE UTTERLY WRONG but right now it looks like pile of BullShit designed to make the repeating person look like like a crazy.
You post a lot of good stuff, btw, but the furry story is neither well sourced nor easy to find proof of and its main creator appears to have retracted it…. hoax or DISinfomation
Duh?!
You completely missed the point.
You, in your “authoritative demeanor” of “…opinionated ascertainment as a statment of fact” insinuated the claim that I had posted “DISinfomation”.
That is a bunch of crap, and you know it. I posted a MSM article excerpt with the verifying video footage sourced from the school board.
That is all it was…Information. Duh?!
I am not talking about the generality of “furry claims” in that comment. I had posted an article with information,
…and here you are making a strawman argument. Geez!
I’m done on this topic with you.
Many times on some of these threads your comments are useless blather.

Summary from Children’s Health Defense; original article in Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/ninabambysheva/2022/04/05/elizabeth-starks-lightning-labs-raises-70-million-to-bitcoinize-the-us-dollar/?sh=28e3d9817e25
Elizabeth Stark’s Lightning Labs Raises $70 Million to ‘Bitcoinize’ the U.S. Dollar
Bitcoin developer Lightning Labs raised $70 million from early investors in Tesla and SpaceX to help turn the first major blockchain into a network capable of transacting trillions of dollars in volume annually, making it a competitor to the likes of Visa.
While bitcoin is conducting $50 billion in volume daily, the public network is only capable of handling a few transactions per second, compared to Visa’s 65,000. Since 2016, Lightning Labs has been working to fix that problem by developing the Lightning Network, a so-called layer-2 solution that sits on top of the bitcoin blockchain.
With the investment, the California-based Lightning Labs plans to build out Taro, a protocol that, it hopes, will open Lightning Network to assets other than bitcoin, including stablecoins and fiat currencies. “That’s really significant because the potential here is for all the world’s currencies to route through Bitcoin over the Lightning Network,” Elizabeth Stark, CEO and co-founder of Lightning Labs, told Forbes ahead of the announcement.
Another scam. Stay away from bitcoin it is a psyo-op
Hi Alex. We all have experience talking to people who basically decide that they will do something but then run into an inner conflict (due to not really wanting to do it) which results in anger/confusion (due to a lack of understanding).
This time just the topic changed.
Gates and the Chinese are the biggest owners of American farmland.
I appreciate you sharing that anecdote Alex.
It is worthwhile to record these personal stories.
It’s crossed my mind that if James was offered an ungodly amount of money and fame from team controllers with the stipulation to support the team, he’d consider it. My hope in humanity is that he’d reject it.
The current situation here in the USA is that we don’t have rights when emergency powers are created. These powers are created just like our money, out of thin air. It’s pretty obvious that the “team” is trashing the world to build consensus for the new system of total population control.

” This crisis is not like anything we have seen since President Nixon took the U.S. dollar off gold in 1971 – the end of the era of commodity-based money. When this crisis (and war) is over, the U.S. dollar should be much weaker and, on the flipside, the renminbi much stronger, backed by a basket of commodities.
From the Bretton Woods era backed by gold bullion, to Bretton Woods II backed by inside money (Treasuries with un-hedgeable confiscation risks), to Bretton Woods III backed by outside money (gold bullion and other commodities).
After this war is over, “money” will never be the same again…”

“I wonder if this is part of World War 3. I wonder if this is a ploy to deceptively snarl supply chains across the globe.”
Remember back at the beginning of 2020 when China released all these weird videos of people falling flat faced in the streets from Covid along with draconian lockdown enforcement actions and spraying foggers in the streets?
China set itself as a role model for the world which most nations mimicked in some way.
It is my opinion that China is deliberately trying to shape behaviors and economies around the planet. It is World War 3. I believe that “Art of War” type tactics and strategies are being used. But on their face, these strategies are not recognized for what they really are.

…A 40-foot container from Shanghai to Los Angeles slumped 3.2%, from $9,112 a week ago to $8,824 this week.
The benchmark transpacific route is down more than 30% from the September peak of $12,424 but still five times higher than in April 2019. [GRAPH]
The market for ocean freight is cooling because of the disruptions in China. Ahead of the lockdowns, we described demand would sink for container ships. We outlined once factories reopened, another shipping crisis would materialize:…
…What comes next is a giant backlog of Chinese products that will need to be shipped to the US. Once China reopens, US importers will be racing to secure containers, which will drive shipping rates higher. That should result in a tsunami of freight that will clog up US West Coast ports and may induce even more supply chain-related inflation.

Michael Senger’s Snake Oil: A Review
https://www.eugyppius.com/p/michael-sengers-snake-oil-a-review?s=r
EXCERPTS
…There was, without a doubt and in the earliest stages, a kind of lockdown cabal, a small group of people in different countries who worked to bring some simulacrum of the Hubei response first to Italy and then to most of the globe. An insidious, coordinated information campaign accompanied their efforts, and this should warn us against easy assumptions that they had good intentions.
On social media, a swarm of manipulative pro-lockdown accounts promoted containment and attacked any prominent politician who tried to steer a moderate course. Michael Senger was among the first to point out that this campaign was operated, in part, out of China. His crucial September 2020 article on the Chinese promotion of lockdowns on social media for Tablet Magazine won him wide renown…
…Xi fed the world bogus medical advice calibrated to increase SARS-2 mortality…
…(Senger:)”Lockdown was never about a virus. It was about sending a message: That stripped of all disguise, the illusion of virtue, competence, and commitment to human rights among the western political class was nothing but conformity with easily-subvertible norms and institutions passed down by prior generations.”…
…Senger is surely right about the extensive influence China wields across western political, media and academic institutions – much of it hidden or unexplored. For many key lockdowners, though, precise China ties remain obscure, and I think we will have to consider that at least some of them had other motivations…
…modellers like Neil Ferguson, on the other hand, have personal and professional motivations. Virus panic is how scientists like them get funding and become important. Of course, Senger would counter that China knew this and exploited these professional concerns, and he’d be right….

Having suddenly and ultra-aggressively turned on it people with the most draconian restrictions of any nation in the world so far since COVID arrived on the scene in some Wuhan bat-soup, this week has seen the proletariat starting to fight back as food shortages hit and life inside their apartment prison cells becomes unbearable.
The CCP demanded “Control your soul’s desire for freedom. Do not open your window or sing,” after Shanghaians began to scream for help.
Bear in mind that COVID deaths, according to official CCP sources, remain non-existent – even as case-counts soar (and there are few headlines about over-crowded hospitals). [CHART]
So why did Xi go full Fauci-tard? Why, after two years of ‘control’ did the politically-troubled leader of the un-free world suddenly decide to unleash hell on its citizens (and at the same time promise RRR cuts to prop up asset markets)?

…The actions China has taken to implement this round of lockdowns have been dystopian and Orwellian, to say the least.
For example, according to the NY Times:
~~~ all international flights to and from Shanghai have been halted
~~~ many roads to the city’s two airports have also been closed
~~~ the government performed P.C.R. tests on 25.67 million people
~~~ the government has not allowed residents to go to grocery stores
~~~ the government has put together tens of thousands of cots in two convention centers as quarantine centers – but they don’t have showering facilities
China is also, once again, sealing people in their homes. Videos on social media “show trapped residents howling and screaming from inside high-rise buildings at night,” The Independent wrote this week.
According to social media posts, the city is even using drones to try and calm the nerves of angry residents.
“Please comply [with] covid restrictions. Control your soul’s desire for freedom. Do not open the window or sing,” this drone is reported to be saying…

There are a innumerable disturbing things about the dystopian way this alleged outbreak is being handled, but none more pressing is the question of why it is being handled the way it is…

It’s simply doesn’t make any sense – even for China…

Cargo backlogs in Shanghai a precursor to global port congestion as COVID crisis drags on…
…most goods booked on outbound vessels are stranded at warehouses because shuttle trucks can’t make pickups or deliveries.
Truckers require special permits, which are only good for 24 hours, as well as negative COVID tests to get in and out of the city or enter certain zones, according to logistics providers. Checking COVID certificates has led to huge traffic jams at the port.
The French logistics provider Geodis reports that truck drivers in the Shanghai area are being forced to wait up to 40 hours at certain highway entrances. Trucking rates have soared because of the limited supply, and shippers are waiting three to five days for cargo to get picked up, according to San Francisco-based Flexport.
Reduced manufacturing output, along with limited truck access to the port and airport, are causing a significant drop in air and ocean export volumes. Less demand is translating to lower freight rates.
In response to the lack of labor and cargo, air carriers have announced widespread cancellations, and some ocean carriers are skipping Shanghai port calls.
Several shipping lines have also begun offloading refrigerated containers at other ports along their voyage because the storage area with electric plugs is too crowded in Shanghai. Customers face extra port fees and delays routing the cargo to its intended destination. Maersk, the second-largest container vessel operator, said Thursday it has stopped accepting bookings to Shanghai for refrigerated cargo, some types of gas and flammable liquids.
More omissions are expected and liner companies may temporarily idle vessels or cancel some outbound Asia sailings altogether, according to Crane Worldwide Logistics and other service providers….

Why I believe a freight recession is imminent
https://www.freightwaves.com/news/why-i-believe-a-freight-recession-is-imminent
EXCERPTS
Last week, I published an article entitled “Just 3 years after 2019’s trucking bloodbath, another is on the way.”
For anyone who lived through the trucking debacle of 2019 – when carrier after carrier suddenly shut their doors – the thought of experiencing that again is truly frightening. After all, we lost some very large carriers during that period , including Celadon, Falcon and NEMF, just to name a few. In addition, we lost thousands of small and mid-sized trucking companies. In addition, major 3PLs conducted aggressive reductions in force.
The article stoked controversy. Some disagreed with my call and voiced it directly to FreightWaves or on social media.
First off, different opinions and disagreements are part of a healthy market. When I started FreightWaves in 2017, the goal was to create transparency in the freight market, much like you see in the financial markets. In order to accomplish transparency, there needs to be an open dialogue between those of us interested in the direction of the freight market…
…Trucking has always been volatile. It is one of the most fragmented markets on the planet, with few barriers to entry. Carriers come and go. Booms are followed by busts. The typical trucking cycle is three years and usually what kills it is oversupply – too many trucks chasing high-paying spot freight and high load volumes.
The problem is that capacity expansion always continues well past the peak and can even continue for a time after the market has entered a recession. In the bloodbath of 2019, the peak of the market took place during the second quarter of 2018. However, it wasn’t until September 2019 that the number of new entrants into the trucking market peaked.
FreightWaves always calls market moves early
At FreightWaves, our business is benchmarking, analyzing, monitoring and forecasting freight markets. And much like financial market information services providers, having the freshest insights into the market is incredibly important to our success.
FreightWaves tends to call inflection points much earlier than other industry observers. It’s a big part of the value we provide our audience and clients.
(…continued…)
(…continuing…)
On Feb. 27, 2020, we warned that the freight market was about to see a massive disruption due to COVID, and that it wasn’t factored into historical data or market sentiment. This was two weeks before the “NBA and NHL moments,” when those sports leagues called off their seasons. At that point, most believed that the U.S. would avoid disruptions from COVID. Unfortunately, two weeks later, the worst health crisis in modern American history began.
That’s the disadvantage of looking strictly at historical data and shows why having the most up-to-date data in the market is critical, particularly in a market as volatile as the trucking freight market.
As I wrote back then: “The coronavirus is a black swan event not reflected in historical data. These unforeseen events make it clear why near-time data is crucial for freight operations.”
It turned out that FreightWaves’ analysis was correct and anyone relying on historical data or data without context was going to be wrong.
Throughout the COVID disruption, FreightWaves continued to provide real-time data and to analyze the trucking market with the freshest perspective on what was happening. This real-time analysis provided insights that were unmatched and unlike any in the history of the freight industry – government agencies, financial institutions, multinational corporations, and transportation providers all relied on FreightWaves to keep them informed during a confusing, dynamic situation.
In the trough of the COVID shutdown, we called for a freight bull market – and nailed it…
…This is exactly what happened. Almost to a ‘T.’…
…But I have confidence in our analysis. I wish the answers were different. I would prefer to say the U.S. trucking market was robust and the expansion will continue throughout 2022. But I can’t. Since I wrote the piece about the bloodbath, FreightWaves SONAR’s tender data continues to reinforce the perspective of a declining freight market.
Tender rejections are the best indicator into real-time supply/demand in the truckload sector. The data comes from actual electronic load requests – “tenders” in the truckload contract market.
A high rejection rate means that trucking companies have more options to choose from. A low rejection rate means carriers have fewer options in freight to pick from. Since this measures actual load activity and not load board posts or searches, it tells us what the market is actually doing.
(…continued…)
(…continuing…)
And since it measures the willingness of carriers that are contracted to accept or to reject a load they have a contracted rate for, if the rejection rate declines, it suggests capacity is loosening.
At the start of March, the rejection rate was 18.7% – today it sits at 13.90%. Even though it has only been a week since I wrote the “bloodbath” article, the rejection rate has fallen another 1.3%. The last week of March is normally one of the best weeks of the year for carriers, but this year it has been one of the worst.
Just wait for April… [SEE GRAPH]…

…even more worrisome is that the operating expenses of carriers are at much higher levels than before COVID. FreightWaves estimates that operating expenses for nearly all carriers have surged by as much as $0.38 per mile over pre-COVID levels. This calculation only includes maintenance, insurance and fuel costs.
The calculation does not include driver wages or equipment purchase/finance, which could nearly double the increased amount of operating expenses.
If a trucking fleet were to start up today with an employee driver, its operating cash expenses would be as much as $0.72 per mile higher than a trucking fleet that was started in 2019….

Walmart offers $110,000 salary to new drivers amid trucker shortage
https://archive.ph/rajuS
FULL article
Walmart (WMT) is driving up pay for its truckers.
In a blog post Thursday, the nation’s largest retailer announced it will be increasing starting salaries for its freight drivers to between $95,000 and $110,000 a year, up from an average starting salary of $87,500, according to a Walmart spokesperson.
“Drivers who have been with Walmart longer can earn even more, based on factors like tenure and location,” the blog noted.
The push comes as supply-chain problems further exacerbate an already troubled trucking industry. The American Trucking Association estimates the nation is short about 80,000 drivers.
Walmart has hired 7,000 drivers for its internal fleet during the past two years, while last year hiring 4,500, which is the most in the company’s history, said a spokesperson.
Walmart has also launched a “Private Fleet Development Program,” a 12-week program taught by established Walmart truckers to train new drivers.
The company is also paying for supply chain associates in the Dallas, Texas, and Dover, Delaware, areas to earn commercial driver’s licenses (CDL), which typically cost between $4,000 to $5,000, in order to become professional Walmart drivers.
So far, Walmart has moved 17 workers from its warehouse operations to its training program, with aims to add “400-800 new drivers this year.”
The White House is also trying to address the driver shortage. The Biden administration recently hosted truck operators, drivers, economists, and other experts at the White House to raise awareness about the challenges facing the industry and to tout the administration’s “Trucking Action Plan,” a 90-day effort to help bring more truck drivers into the industry.
“Trucking moves about 70% of all the goods in this country, and truck drivers are facing real challenges,” said Biden.

Freight Market Crash Indicators – What’s Happening to the Trucking Industry?
(7 minutes)
https://youtu.be/Sr7rWEbM93Y
DESCRIPTION
Is the freight market crashing? What are the most reliable freight market indicators of market demand? In this video we’ll explore the possibility of a freight market crash by looking at tender volume, tonnage, and tender rejection rates.
Having just closed out the 1st quarter of 2022, we had a pretty disappointing month of March. Normally, March is a very strong month, especially toward the end of the month because of the generally anticipated volume boost, sales, and inventory reductions with shippers stocking shelves for the summer.
Instead, this year we saw spot rates falling and volume dropping. There are several reasons for the trucking market crash being experienced by truckers all over the country. One reason is the spot market oversupply of trucking capacity, otherwise known as having too many trucks and not enough freight.
Consumer spending is also shifting from products and goods to services, travel, and entertainment. We saw this a couple of years ago as well and it also the freight market crashing. Something else that we have this year that we didn’t have in the past is extremely expensive gas which is leaving a whole lot less discretionary income that consumer can spend on products.
Inventories are simply too high and purchasing is slowing down on both the consumer and institutional levels. This leaves the freight market with too many trucks and not enough freight. This might seem counterintuitive but it actually make sense. If people aren’t buying products, then inventories don’t need to be replaced and will remain high. There is product available but it doesn’t need shipping and this is why our rates are plummeting.
Something that many new truckers are dealing with, are very high operating costs. I’ve spoken with truck drivers who have operating costs of $2.50 per mile which in my opinion is way too high…
…Furthermore, the surge of new entrants continues which drives rates further down. New companies don’t have much of a choice and brokers know this so they push these truckers to take their cheap freight…
Declining freight rates, tender volume, and high fuel cost plus large loans taken out by new trucking companies does not help one make money or even just stay afloat….

Freight Recession Confirmed? Crashing Truck Sales Show US Growth In Jeoaprdy
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/freight-recession-confirmed-crashing-truck-sales-show-us-growth-jeoaprdy
EXCERPTS
The recent Op-Ed by FreightWaves CEO Craig Fuller warning about an imminent freight recession sparked a tidal wave of selling, but in retrospect, Fuller was spot on. As Bloomberg’s Simon White writes, real economic activity in the U.S. is slowing sharply, and “this is showing up in lower demand for new trucks and autos, and a tailing off in freight volumes, leaving transport stocks facing more downside.”
As White picks up where Fuller left off, heavy truck sales in the U.S. are a “very good leading indicator of economic activity, with 65% of the dollar value of North American freight moved by trucks. But new truck sales have been falling sharply, now at -23% on an annual basis. New auto sales are falling at a similar rate. Truck and auto sales combined are falling at a rate previously only associated with recessions. [GRAPH]
That said, White cautions readers that “before you enter your equity sell orders, this is not a recession prediction. Recessions are signaled by a rapid regime shift across many areas of the economy and markets, and there is no sign we are in the process of this happening.” Nonetheless, this sharp decline in vehicle sales shows slowing growth is in the mail.
There’s more: freight volume growth has also been slowing….

Truck drivers are facing another bloodbath
A key trucking rate has tumbled by 37%
https://www.freightwaves.com/news/truck-driver-bloodbath-reacts-4-2022
EXCERPTS
… The indicators are worrisome
Demand for freight has undeniably slowed. And, at FreightWaves, we believe a recession in trucking might be next…Dry van rates have tanked by 37% from Dec. 31…Another indicator of a downturn is the drop in contracted loads rejected by carriers…
… Demand for random crap softening amid influx of driving capacity
If your high school economics education was as prestigious as mine, you know that high supply or low demand leads to decreased prices. Right now, there’s both an increase of supply (truck drivers) and decrease of demand (loads for drivers to move).
The supply of truckers is way up. Thousands of new fleets are registered each month in the U.S., and it’s reached a fever pitch in recent months. In February alone, a record 20,166 trucking companies entered the market. (Keep in mind, the typical trucking company is very small; 89% have one to five trucks.) …
…Meanwhile, demand for truckers has softened. Consumers are slashing their spending – particularly when it comes to buying more and more stuff…And those who are still spending are increasingly going to restaurants and concerts instead of, say, buying lots of stuff from Amazon…
…Return of the bloodbath?…
…It’s all reminiscent of the 2019 trucking bloodbath (which I wrote about quite a bit at my old gig at Business Insider). In 2018, trucking was booming. Drivers were receiving record-high raises amid a capacity shortage that year. Many joined the industry. Unfortunately, demand for trucking services sank at the same time. That’s a very short explanation for why 1,100 trucking companies went out of business in one year….

RE: CANADIAN TRUCKER FREEDOM CONVOY

TRUCKERS WERE RIGHT: Freedom Convoy protest was legal, judge says, and Ottawa is now being sued
https://farmersforum.com/truckers-were-right-freedom-convoy-protest-was-legal-judge-says-and-ottawa-is-now-being-sued/
FULL article
MONTREAL — The Canadian government trampled on fundamental human rights with its COVID restrictions, then overreached on dealing with the Freedom Convoy and must now answer to numerous lawsuits, including one by a former premier, says a well-respected constitutional lawyer.
Speaking on Montreal lawyer Viva Frei’s Youtube channel on March 25, Keith Wilson noted that the mischief charges against his client and convoy leader Tamara Lich, will not be successful. She counselled truckers to move in order to comply with police demands, not to block emergency lanes, he said.
Wilson is also a lawyer for former Newfoundland Premier Brian Peckford, who is suing the federal government for breaching the charter of rights by preventing unvaccinated people from leaving the country or getting on a bus, train or ship.
“Obviously we are going to be able to establish Charter breaches,” Wilson said, adding that the government restricted mobility, security of the person and freedom of conscience.”
Wilson said he would not be able to live with himself if he hadn’t helped the Freedom Convoy when he got the call for help from the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms on Feb. 1.
“I have been so concerned about the direction of our country,” he said. “I have been so fundamentally concerned about the trampling of civil liberties and the lost of rights and the overreacting to COVID. I have been so concerned about the future for my children, deeply, deeply concerned, and was inspired by what the truckers were doing.”
Wilson also clarified that the Freedom Convoy protest was not illegal at any point, even though Prime Minister Trudeau called it illegal, and big media went along with it.
In fact, an Ontario supreme court judge sided with the convoy. When an injunction against honking horns was declared, the court also stated that “provided the terms of this Order are complied with, the defendents and other persons remain at liberty to engage in a peaceful, lawful and safe protest.”
(…continued…)
(…continuing…)
Reality on the ground was often not being reported. While Ottawa police often announced they had made a number of arrests during the Freedom Convoy protests, they never mentioned that many incidents were called in by truckers after people slit their tires or cut gas lines, Wilson said. Police also negotiated with truckers as to which streets they would be allowed to block during the protest. When things heated up, the police blocked off Laurier Avenue to prevent east-west traffic flow even though there was not one truck or protest vehicle on that street.
The attorney general’s reason for freezing bank accounts was based on an affidavit by a police officer who based his testimony on what he read in the news, Wilson said, adding that courts don’t rely on third-party hearsay.
“It’s that ridiculous. We ran into this problem of circularity all the time, of media saying something, police then saying, well the news is saying it, then the media saying, well the police said it.”
Wilson is already seeing some early confirmation that the truckers and their supporters have been slandered. Barry MacKillop, deputy-director of FINTRAC, the federal organization that goes after terrorism funds and criminal money-laundering, told the Commons finance committee that there was not a shred of illegal activity associated with the trucker convoy.
Said MacKillop: “There were people around the world who were fed up with COVID and were upset and saw the demonstrations. I believe they just wanted to support the cause. It was their own money. It wasn’t money that funded terrorism or was in any way money laundering.”
Wilson said that there was nothing to justify using the Federal Emergencies Act. “This is government writing a blank cheque over your rights and your life… this was a retaliatory measure by an authoritarian petulant child prime minster lashing out.” [END]

I have witnessed a notable increase in concerns in those close to me (and many acquaintances) regarding people feeling helpless in the face of the hazards posed by the proliferation (and unpredictable nature) of sources of ionizing radiation and artificial EMFs (given the precarious situation in Europe and the proliferation of 5G tech in urban areas). As someone that also sees the inherent dangers of these realities (and someone that is always seeking to facilitate people being able to access increased levels of health sovereignty) I decided to do a deep dive into what solutions Nature offers us in this plight (from a dietary approach). This substack post (linked below) is focused on a solutions based approach to these hazards that can empower individuals to be able to look to ‘nature’s medicine cabinet’ and make choices to protect themselves and their loved ones from forms of radiation that can harm the human body in this time of uncertainty. https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/turning-to-mother-natures-medicine?s=w&fbclid=IwAR2oXLco5ylbfxvTNsp0l3FiOI0AwIpLTLEMDXgisgMhh0N7eWUflXSk2EI
I will also share another post when I have time regarding techniques for cultivating medicinal and nutrient dense foods (in a range of different living situations/climates) so that those who are motivated to take action can break away from depending on centralized systems, starve out the corporate parasites in Big Ag/Big Pharma and also be in a better place to weather the storm ahead.

The lawyer seems to be surprised by the “slow courts” yielding “slow justice”. Slow justice is no justice at all, one does not need a law degree to know that.
Have a separate “constitutional court” isn’t a resolution of that issue, either. In my neck of the woods that type that type of a court is full of ex politicians, for example, becuase politicians choose the composition of the court.
While in the Austrian example we have seen judgements of such courts completely ignored. When they play ball their decisions are used to reinforce the narrative. When they do not they get memoryholed.
Another important aspect they touch upon in the interview: lack of responsibility in the collectivist mindset. Everyone and noone made the decision. Various gumbent entities are responsible for various actions and nobody is responsible. Claims can and are made without proof and there is no need for proof, feeling and believing is enough.
All of that works great, untill it gets to any sort of a reasonable court.

mkey,
Thanks for this video.
I agree with you. The system itself makes true justice untenable.
At best, there may be occasions of short-term relief through the courts.
News from Switzerland: the “Swiss vaccination boss” had been kidnapped “by a corona skeptic”. The kidnapper released his victim on the same day. Last Wednesday, the kidnapper was killed in a shootout with the police:
https://eueditorial.com/reports-german-kidnapped-swiss-vaccination-boss/
James warned us in September about false flags, based on a warning of the Swiss intelligence service that vaccine infrastructure might become a target of terror attacks:

https://web.archive.org/web/20220103214119/https://www.straitstimes.com/world/europe/switzerland-warns-of-terror-attacks-on-covid-19-vaccine-sites
Whether this is a false flag or not, the purported connections of the perpetrator to the “conspiracy scene” is the perfect opportunity to treat anybody not in line with the covid narrative as a potential terrorist:
“The motive for the kidnapping is apparently unclear. However, the newspaper reports on connections to the conspiracy scene. According to this, the German founded a company in February 2020 together with a man who appears publicly as a supporter of the “Flat Earth” theory.” (quoted from the first article above)
As expected, mainstream media commentaries blame anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists for the incident:

I wouldn’t worry about Wikipedia. No serious person would put much credence in it.
But Rob, I just watched a Ice Age Farmer video where Christian is talking about the push to eradicate backyard chicken farming and he goes on to reveal that a scientist is getting a lot of attention for modifying the so-called H1N1 bird flu virus so that it is much deadlier to people. All with the funding of The B and M Gates foundation of course.
What’s your take on this?
Here’s the video

Just noticed that Christian posted a follow up to yesterday’s video.
FMR CDC DIRECTOR: BIRD FLU IS THE REAL PANDEMIC – C19 WAS JUST PRACTICE
https://www.bitchute.com/video/V0WC6lXclThg/
Do they need an actual virus to make this hapen? I don’t think they do. They can research, they can yap about researching and when the time comes they can just choose some common symptopms and declare people diseased or dying of whatever. We have been there 10 years ago and I would notbbe surprised if we go back. PCR, mass bird execution, injections et all.
mkey: “Do they need an actual virus to make this hapen? I don’t think they do.”…
robster: “Yep, most people are still ignorant enough to believe that paathogenic viruses actually exist.”
OK let’s open up this can of worms again, because I for one have not got it all sorted out yet.
1) Why have the CDC, the NIAID, Ralph Baric, Shi Zhengli et al been falling over each other to do virus research and patent their findings for more than 20 years, on SARS viruses? I mean what are they ‘wasting their time’ on it for if there is nothing to see?
2) Why are companies such as Arbutus Pharmaceuticals and Acuitas Therapeutics ‘wasting their time’ inventing, marketing and selling a product that allows mRNA vaccines to function?
3) Why is everyone talking about Spike protein, cleavage sites, ACE-2 receptor, ADE, gain of function etc.?
4) Is there such thing as a bio-weapon? If not, why are there so many bio-weapons labs cropping up all over the world? Are they just playing games there and wasting their time, or pretending to do something important?
“Ah, so you still haven’t made up your mind on pathogenic viruses? 😉 ”
Correct. I’ve mentioned this a number of times here, I’m still sitting on the fence about it. However I admit I am very much seduced by the terrain theory and would like to jump off the fence onto their side. 🙂
“1) It makes good money, doesn’t it? Virology is also a fundamental building block for eugenics, as this is the reason vaccines exist – and we know vaccines kill, they do not heal or protect.”
It makes good money in the sense that governments are more than willing to spend taxpayer’s money to fund this ‘research’ and create bogus ‘vaccines’ to fend off these ‘viruses’.
“2) Again, good money and prestige…”
The reason I mentioned those two companies is that a) they speak the same language as Moderna, Pfizer etc.
b) Moderna and Pfizer admit that they weren’t able to deliver their ‘vaccines’ into our cells with the technology they had. The two Canadian companies I mentioned developed technology that allowed the ‘vaccines’ to function as desired.
I wouldn’t say their employees are useful idiots. They are each doing their part to develop technology that serves a certain purpose.
“4) I guess it depends on your definition. The media carefully constructs an image of such labs being related to virus research…”
I hear ya’ about the definition of a bio-weapon. You are right. It’s very important how we define it.
I would like to limit them for the purposes of our discussion to the following:
‘Any combination of man-made component PLUS natural (biological) component that is capable of being transmitted from person to person and causes illness/disease or death in those people.’
Notice I DID NOT MENTION VIRUSES!
“Perhaps you’ll find criticalcheck wordpress com/2021/12/15/dna-discovery-extraction-and-structure-a-critical-review/ interesting, though I doubt you have the openness to even ponder and consider the critiques mentioned here. Let’s see.”
I do have an open mind as I mentioned at the start. I did read the article you referenced above. Although in my first degree, B.Sc. I majored in Biology (genetics) and studied the subjects of DNA, RNA and chromosomes etc., I don’t believe that they are necessarily the structures and mechanisms that make up the building blocks of life.
“Note: you are asking “why” questions assuming that if the topics questions are not true, otherwise things would be different…
Perhaps it’s time for you to research the dark and sinister forces that come after the money and power/control motives, even after eugenics. Those forces are fundamentally ant-human, or even anti-life. Have you looked into that topic yet? “
Yes I most certainly have looked into eugenics!
We live in times when developing a reciprocal relationship with the land where we live is of paramount importance. There is no elected official, institution, guru, priest or any other external force or individual who can do this for you.
When we engage in Reciprocity with Mother Earth and then pass on the gifts she shares with us (in nutritious food, knowledge and heirloom seeds) we nurture the cycle of gifts to flow and grow exponentially. In doing so, we not only increase the resilience and health of our households and communities in the present, we also ensure a brighter future for those who will call this place home after we are gone.
Another one of the beautiful things about investing in the Earth (through gardening and saving seed) is that we are always gifted more than we need for ourselves. Thus, an investment in the Earth compels us to share the abundance with our neighbors and the communities we are a part of. This means increasing the resilience and prosperity of the communities we live in through creating decentralized regenerative food systems.
The need for a decentralized movement aligned with truth, integrity, symbiosis, compassion, courage and the regenerative capacity of the Earth is Dire. Look around you, fascistic censorship of pertinent scientific data runs rampant on the internet, the consolidation of wealth, farm land and seed companies into the hands of a tiny minority has exponentially accelerated in the past year, propaganda is being prolifically disseminated through news media, “entertainment” programs, the government and all over the internet, lockdowns are forcing/intimidating many to live in stagnant ‘bubbles’ (which is crippling their innate immunity and health through atrophy on many levels) and forcing countless small businesses to go bankrupt, the central banks are pushing for a “cashless” globally centralized economy and our national governments (working in collaboration with trans-national corporations) exerted pressure on countless millions to take dangerous experimental injections (made for profit and funded by mentally unhinged psychotic humans).
Do not despair my friends, the night is always darkest right before the dawn and these behavior patterns I described above are those of mentally unstable humans desperate to maintain their crumbling empire. Even though they stop us from boarding planes, going to concerts, shopping at local stores (and perhaps will even even block the highways) we will never submit to their intended tyranny over our bodies. We can embrace the wisdom of the way of the Satyagraha warrior and apply it to our modern day ‘victory gardens’.
(continued in another comment)…
We will peacefully and joyfully resist their desperate move to justify the existence of their corrupt empire through creating regenerative oasis’s in each of the communities where we live. We will accomplish this through planting regenerative gardens, creating natural medicines with plants/fungi, creating regenerative initiatives (that offer outreach programs to help the young and vulnerable in our communities find their footing) setting up “food is free project(s)”, “seeds are free projects”, helping each other through challenging times through compassion, kindness, understanding, love, collaboration, symbiosis and moral courage. We will show the oligarchs that we can thrive and exist in peaceful symbiosis with Mother Earth, each other and our fellow non-human beings without their corporations and corrupt degenerative government systems.
We will create such abundance and emergent resilience that it will spill over into the neighborhoods and communities around us, sending ripples out that shift the tide from fear to hope and render their toxic centralized systems of dependence and oppression obsolete to one day leave them behind.
It is for times such as these that Gandhi used Satyagraha – the force of truth to resist unjust laws and empires peacefully and non violently. In nature one of her most innate truths and constants is her irrepressible capacity for regeneration. We can align with this innate facet of the living planet that sustains us and become irrepressible as well.
In order to see a new civilization and way of living take hold and begin to become the norm we must cut our ties to the old ways and begin to live a new way. We must remember what our ancestors were wise enough to understand and forge a close knit relationship with the land we live on. Mother Earth can provide us food, medicine and wisdom on our path to create a brighter future. And it can begin with something as simple as humility and a handful of seeds.
(continued in another comment)..
In truth, even if “Sustainability” was not a term and set of institutionalized practices that is being weaponized in 4IR/”Great Reset” psychological warfare campaigns and oppressive laws, being “sustainable” is not enough. If we want to leave a world worth living in for future generations we have to move beyond sustaining ecosystems with current practices and into ways of living that regenerate.
Over the past 5 years I have been working to create a ‘toolkit’ that can offer empowering knowledge, techniques and perspectives which can help people to embark upon the path to resist and dissolve the “NWO” described in the comments above.
I sought to learn from historical examples of regenerative cultures and aspects of societies (such as the Edo period of Japanese culture, the pre-colonial ways of living of some peoples in what is now called Canada and the Aborigines of what is now called Australia) and then apply the viable solutions those examples offer in a way that is augmented by modern science and techniques.
In my book “Recipes For Reciprocity: The Regenerative Way From Seed To Table” I will be offering helpful tips and techniques for beginners (as well as advanced gardeners) that can help you build good soil with onsite materials, cultivate resilient and productive crops through companion planting, preserve your bountiful harvests through low tech and reliable ancient food preservation methods (such as lactic-acid fermentation) and save seed so you can perpetuate the cycle of abundance.
Recipes For Reciprocity is a distillation of a wide range of topics I have studied and techniques I have practiced in the garden for years concentrated into a single book. I created it so people can benefit from having a holistic and practical gardening/recipe book on hand that will help them be prepared for challenging times and also increase their quality of life in the best of times (while simultaneously enabling them to give back to the Earth).
I will be providing instructions so that each reader can engage in the sacred (and practical) act of Reciprocity (by learning to use kitchen waste and yard debris to build valuable living soil through composting). As we use our time to give back to the Earth in this way and sow seeds in the rich earth we are in turn gifted an abundance of delicious and nutritious food that serves to increase our longevity, resilience and quality of life.
This is the regenerative way from seed to table… and I invite you all to take this adventure with me. We can make this world a more beautiful, honest and free place one regenerative garden (decentralized food production system) at a time. You can learn more about my soon to be published book here: https://recipesforreciprocity.com/
I like how you think and thank you for your work!
For decades I’ve been going down the trial and error road with my gardening and medicinal herb education with bits of information gleaned here and there from others and realize now how much time I could have saved by learning more and experimenting less.
Of course I suppose that applies to just about everything I’ve ever done.
Nevertheless, I’m glad you’re compiling the knowledge in a book. Volume one I presume.
I’m also glad to see such a resurgence in interest in getting back to the wisdom of our ancestors lately. Its encouraging.
I wish you the greatest success and blessings in your endeavors.
Hi Steve
I appreciate the thoughtful comment sorry it took me so long to respond.
I would be happy to share what I have learned if it can help, if you have any specific challenges you are trying to solve (in your gardening endeavors) feel free to reach out and i`ll share what has helped me along the way (if I feel I know of relevant solutions).
I like to experiment and dive in ‘hands first’ my self too, it results in some fantastic failures sometimes but I embrace the learning curve and then augment the direct experience with some reading/communicating with experts and then forge ahead.
Yes, I am very excited about my soon be published book. It is about 444 pages long and packed full of techniques for optimizing efficiency and productivity in existing gardens as well as setting up new ones from scratch. I do intend on writing other books on related topics (such as applying permaculture design mentality to herbalism/natural medicine and off grid survival techniques) but this book is intended to be a holistic ‘seed’ that contains everything required to scale up and perpetuate the abundance that can result from putting the ideas, techniques and perspectives shared in it’s pages into action (so I do not think I will make an official second volume).
Thank you very much for your well wishes, if you would like to stay in touch via email you can get ahold of me at recipes4reciprocity@gmail.com or you can sign up for my new newsletter on substack here: https://substack.com/profile/43807786-gavin-mounsey (I will create a post when my book is published on there).

https://odysee.com/@ClassicMoviesSeries:c/The.International.2009:a
Inspired by the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) scandal of the 1980s, the film raises concerns about how global finance affects international politics across the world. Production began in Berlin in September 2008, including the construction of a life-size replica of New York’s Guggenheim Museum for the film’s central shootout scene. The film opened the 59th Berlin International Film Festival on 5 February 2009.
The film follows an Interpol agent and an American district attorney who jointly investigate corruption within the IBBC, a fictional merchant bank based in Luxembourg. It serves organized crime and corrupt governments as a banker and as an arms broker. The bank’s ruthless managers assassinate potential threats, including their own employees.

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, often referred to as The Guggenheim, is an art museum on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the cylindrical building, wider at the top than at the bottom, was conceived as a “temple of the spirit”.

I gotta admit: the showdown at The Guggenheim was something else. It fits the bill of an “action” film overdose.
If you want to cut to The Guggenheim, start around 1:07:00 as the “good guys” tail a top-grade assassin. (It is interesting to note that Chase Bank and Citibank are in the background during the tail.)
Here are some excerpts from this fine film.
mkey, Thanks so much for putting those QUOTES out there!
When watching the film, they raised my eyebrows.
The IBBC is a bank. Their objective isn’t to control the conflict…
it’s to control the debt that the conflict produces.
You see, the real value of a conflict, the true value is in the debt that it creates.

“What if Austin were Kyiv? Map shows how Russian invasion of Ukraine, war zones can hit close to home”
https://archive.ph/R3Guc
EXCERPTS
1. Moscow is about 470 miles away
Russian President Vladimir Putin, and his seat of power in the Kremlin capital, sits only 470 miles away from Kyiv. If Austin were Kyiv, the distance between the two capitals would like driving to northern Arkansas…
2. Odessa to Odesa
If Texas were overlaid onto Ukraine with Austin and Kyiv as the common point, Odessa in West Texas, a key shipping point for livestock and oil production, would be about 480 miles away from its namesake on the Black Sea coast.
According to the Odessa chamber of commerce, the origins of the Texas oil town’s name has multiple legends attached to it but “there is one record … that the founding promoters named Odessa in 1884 for Odessa, Russia, wheat distribution center of the world, because the local terrain looked like good wheat country.”
Odessa is Ector County is about 293 miles west-northwest of Austin, while the port city in southern Ukraine is about 272 miles due south of Kyiv…
5. Texas vs. Ukraine
Austin and Kyiv share some similarities beyond being seats of government. Both were founded on rivers: Austin on the Colorado, Kyiv on the Dnieper — one of the longest rivers in Europe. Both are nearly the same size in area: Austin is about 326.5 square miles, and Kyiv is about 324 square miles.
But before the Russian invasion, Kyiv was home to about 3 million people, compared to the almost 1 million that live in Austin…
8. Battle for the East
The Donbas is a region in eastern Ukraine that has been home to Moscow-backed separatist groups, mostly Russian speakers who have been waging an insurgency since 2014. Donetsk and Luhansk are the main cities in two breakaway regions within the Donbas.
If Austin were Kyiv, the breakaway regions would be in the Gulf of Mexico, but on land about as close as Baton Rouge, La., about 390 miles away, or as near as Oklahoma City, which is about 360 miles away….

i-911 Easter Numerology
Christine Lagarde gave a coded speech to the National Press Club on the 15th January 2014, in it she revealed the date for Brexit (28/9/08 + 7 Years, 7 Months, 7 Weeks and 7 Days) to arrive at the 23 June 2016. I believe she later gave the date for the end of economic growth when she invokes the G7 and G20 for that year, 2014. Get your calendars out! 20/7/2014 + 7 years, 7 months, 7 weeks and 7 days gives Easter Sunday 2014. I pray I am wrong, but we are all aware how devoted the Elitists are to the goddess Ishtar (from the polar configuration of the planets). Is this the date for i-911?

LVMH Eyewear Virtual ‘Try-on’ Tool Draws Biometric Privacy Suit
https://archive.ph/7quGf
FULL article
Luxury giant LVMH’s North America unit was accused in a lawsuit of unlawfully collecting biometric data about shoppers who use its online tool to virtually “try on” sunglasses and frames.
The company “collects detailed and sensitive biometric identifiers and information, including complete facial scans, of its users through the Virtual Try-On tool, and it does this without first obtaining their consent, or informing them that this data is being collected,”
according to the proposed class-action lawsuit filed Friday in Manhattan.
Representatives of Louis Vuitton North America Inc. didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
Shoppers looking at sunglasses or frames on LVMH’s website are offered the option of using the Virtual Try-On tool.
The tool turns on the customer’s webcams and creates a live video of the person wearing the eyewear they selected.
The data collected by the tool is translated into computer code and sent to an outside server, where it is collected and stored, according to the suit.
The complaint cites the Illinois Biometric Privacy Protection Act, which prohibits collecting and storing biometric data without consent and carries fines of $1,000 to $5,000 per violation.
The case is Theriot v v. Louis Vuitton North America Inc., 22-cv-02944, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

EU Investment Groups Worth $140 Trillion Urge For Stricter Corporate Climate Change Disclosures
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/eu-investment-groups-worth-140-trillion-urge-stricter-corporate-climate-change-disclosures
EXCERPTS
Investors managing a combined $140 trillion have come together to put pressure on corporations to disclose their plans on how to deal with climate change in the future.
Investment groups have combined not only to seek out more disclosure about adaptations to climate change, but also to demand that companies meet pledges to become carbon neutral by 2050, Bloomberg reported Monday morning.
The groups, called Responsible Investment and the European Sustainable Investment Forum (sigh), are urging that the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive require companies to prepare “transition plans”.
They made their request known “in a letter to Mairead McGuinness, the top financial services official at the European Commission,” Bloomberg reported.
The letter says these plans will provide investors “with the tools they need to finance the net-zero transition” and that they should extend “as a bare minimum” to companies who have said they would be carbon neutral by 2050, the report says.
The EU parliament is currently working on legislation to provide investors with more transparency as to environmental, social and governance risks that companies may face. Coming disclosures will identify what climate scenarios company plans are based on and assumptions that companies are making.
Recall, back in February, we published a piece from contributors at The Epoch Times called “ESG Investing – The Great Wall Street Money Heist”.[LINK]
ESG refers to the Environmental, Social, and Governance risk theoretically embedded in a business. However, while ESG investing is about taking these risks into account in investment decisions, these are all the things NOT on a company’s balance sheet or earnings statements. Such is the inherent problem…
…Following the financial crisis, ESG funds had roughly a ZERO market share of total assets under management. Today, ESG-labelled funds in the United States exceed $16 trillion.

I remember the era and the State Fair.
One evening with my family, there was going to be a donkey with rider jumping from a high platform into a pool.
I was watching intently with the crowd.
There was a drumroll and then ‘Bang’ with a clash of cymbols.
The lady in front of me fainted on top of me, knocking me flat onto the grimy asphalt.
My Mom starts griping at me: “Get up off the ground!”
I missed the whole jump, but my brother filled me in on the details.
My brother and I each spent about $1.50 with a dime per play on the Midway.
It was a “turn the crank handle crane” enclosed in a glass box. We wanted the pocket knife which was among the treasures. Never got the knife…just lots of “almosts”.
It took a lot of empty coke bottles being returned to the store at 2 or 3 cents each to make $1.50. We would collect them while walking along the side of the road where people had thrown them out the car window.

Giant Robot Catches Unmasked Travelers At Dallas Airport
https://www.activistpost.com/2022/04/giant-robot-catches-unmasked-travelers-at-dallas-airport.html
EXCERPTS [IMAGE in article]
Yes, those 7-foot-tall machines at Dallas Love Field are watching you. They want to make sure you’re wearing a mask if you’re boarding a flight or not parking too long at the curb if you’re picking up a returning traveler.
Love Field is testing two Security Control Observation Towers at the airport, one near baggage claim and another near security checkpoints, to figure out whether robotic assistants can both help customers get around and warn passengers who are breaking rules. The robots can also call airport security and operations in case more help is needed.
While not quite RoboCop, the machines, nicknamed SCOT, were installed a month ago to “determine if they are capable of efficiently supplementing current airport operations,” said Love Field spokesperson Lauren Rounds.
The robots look like many other kiosks at the airport with a touch screen, including way-finding information, maps of parking garages and directions to ride-hailing and shuttle pickup. But SCOT is much smarter, capable of detecting what people are wearing and even whether they’ve got on a face mask.
Airports have been at the forefront of technology, including facial recognition and other biometrics, for years, a trend that worries privacy advocates who say there are few, if any, laws or guidelines about how emerging technology should be used. Amazon took criticism in 2019 after testing its Rekognition technology with police departments before deciding to ban law enforcement from using it two years later.
But private businesses and airports have been more aggressive, and the COVID-19 pandemic has spurred more emphasis on touchless interactions using computers. Fort Worth-based American Airlines uses facial recognition for some customers to check bags and airports such as DFW International Airport partner with the U.S. State Department for facial recognition technology for incoming passengers.
Surveillance technology hasn’t stopped progressing because the rest of the world was in the midst of a worldwide pandemic. In fact, more and more institutions and companies are using artificial intelligence to monitor spaces, said Adam Schwartz, an attorney for digital privacy rights group Electronic Frontier Foundation.
“It is concerning that an airport has installed a new system of artificial intelligence,” Schwartz said. “It raises a lot of questions about what that technology is doing.”…. [story continues at MSN Dallas Morning News ]
Dr Ardis has a lot of very good reasons to go down the remdesivir rabbit hole and I have an elder friend who was given this without informed consent – thankfully she recovered from her respiratory infection – so I do pay attention to new ‘news’ about this EUA drug and watch for long term side effects in my friend. I do honor his mission, tho have had skepticism around going from a D.C. to capitalist. I do remember Bing Lui (being suicided?) The link was provided to me by a ‘reputable source’.

I think what is going on is like an onion. You got to peel back the different layers to see what is really going on with USSA losing its petrodollar/reserve currency status. Why is Europe sabotaging itself by getting rid of nuke energy thus being more dependent on Russian energy/gas–thus destroying our petrodollar system?” Bans on nuclear energy and natural gas development are hindering Europe’s ability to become energy independent. Europe does not depend on Russian gas due to a coincidence, but because of a chain of mistaken policies: banning nuclear in Germany, prohibiting the development of domestic natural gas resources throughout the European Union, added to a massive and expensive renewable rollout without building a reliable backup. Solar and wind do not reduce dependency on Russian natural gas. They are necessary but volatile and intermittent. They need backup from nuclear, hydro, and natural gas for the security of the energy supply. Dependency on these backup sources rises in periods of low wind and little sun, just when prices are highest…..If Russia sees that European governments ban nuclear power, prohibit the development of indigenous gas reserves, intervene in imports, and add massive CO2 taxes, Russian authorities will know that there is no competitive alternative and that European industry and consumers will collapse due to the rising cost of energy” https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Environmentalists-Are-Crushing-Europes-Energy-Independence-Ambitions.html
It is clear that USSA and West are sabotaging their countries by taking the experimental MRNA vax. I include Israel in this as that country is the highest vax country, but Palestians don’t have to take it there. Similarly, in the USSA, thousands of illegals are entering the USSA untested and unvaxxed. If you walk from Mexico to USSA, no tests or vax required–different if you fly! If this was really a pandemic, they wouldn’t have this policy. What these policies indicate is get rid of people in the West who know freedom and replace them with dependent immigrant population who dont know freedom or our Constitution.
If the Biden administration carries through on its plans to revoke Title 42 next month, illegal immigrants from countries around the world will have drastically unfettered access to the United States. Thus furthering destroying USSA.
Look at the Green agenda. This will sabotage the West by limiting carbon. China has corner on raw earth materials–so we will be dependent on them.
China isnt requiring their population to take dangerous MRNA vax. Why? So West has to take this poison, but not China? https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/02/know-dont-china-not-administered-single-mrna-vaccine-1-45-billion-citizens/

Biden Says Putin Committed Genocide in Ukraine
(90 seconds)
https://youtu.be/jRLqAxIhBpA
Biden is trying to blame high oil and gas prices on Putin. Repeatedly in his speeches. Everyone who has been following prices knows that oil and gas and food prices were sky high well before February 24th, 2022 when Putin invaded Ukraine. And Biden has been wrestling with the supply chains since he came into office.
But now, suddenly, Putin caused all this trouble.
They needed a cover for their energy transition/digital transformation fallout. Putin is the cover.
Only the most obtuse may be buying what this demented old puppet has to sell.
Now that I’m a Corbett follower, I can read an article like this and all the red flags jump out at me. It’s early, and I can’t think of the right words to describe it, so take a look at this. https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/in-wake-of-brooklyn-subway-shooting-mayor-adams-says-nyc-has-been-exploring-technologies-to-keep-people-safe-in-subway-system/ It’s interesting how they even include ‘opposition’ to the idea of secret metal detectors and tons of cameras .We know that this is not just going to happen, it’s already happening. Also, have a look at a company called Purple. Their website is quite educational about all the ways they are gathering data from us legally without us even knowing it.
Pkadams, thanks for sharing.
“We’re going to explore new technology to make New Yorkers safe, and we believe we have a technology that we can use in a subway system that many passengers are not even going to be aware that they’re walking past. A device that can could detect weapons and we’re excited about the possibilities,” Adams said.
‘Excited’ is not the word I would have chosen.
However, It sounds like NYC needs to address the current tech issues. The article concludes…
“Meanwhile, there are still lingering questions about why the cameras at the three stations on the N line were on the fritz and not transmitting video. Lieber said there was apparently a server problem, which technicians had been working on the day before.”
Seems just A LITTLE suspicious, huh? What a convenient coincidence! This was the first I heard about faulty cameras on the N line.
There’s a lot of bizarre, distracting stories floating around lately. Normally I wouldn’t suggest conspiracies here that have such little documentation and evidence, but given the NYC headlines over the last week, perhaps there’s something to this. Prepping the population with predictive programming? Maybe the deep state really is planning something terrifying? I’m always suspicious when future dates are given. But I’m going to share this anyway because supposedly a false flag is predicted for this Monday, 4-18 in NY.
Be warned, it’s likely dis-information. Feels a little Q ish to me.

From a Christian viewpoint, Satan is the ruler of this world and much of the evil that is done is by people that are demonically controlled. The Bible says that Satan was cast out of heaven, he hates that God created mankind, and his only Goal is to destroy us. Also, he knows that God has said he will destroy this world with fire when Jesus returns, after the judgment of all people, and then replace it with a new heaven and earth. Satan is not all-knowing, or all-powering, or in all places at once, like God. So he makes mistakes. But he is powerful. The evil that you see happening, it will culminate in a one world government with one allowed non-Christian religion. After the Anti-Christ takes power, he will proclaim peace and safety for three years, then he will change his mind and declare himself God. Before this happens, a new Jewish temple will be built in Jerusalem because that is necessary for the prophecy to be fulfilled in which he sets up an abomination in the temple. Hope this helps explain why they are willing to set up such dangerous technology. By the way, destroying the family is the first step and as you can see that is well on it’s way.
Pkadams, you might enjoy the book I just finished.

https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/ukraine-war-how-to-avoid-global-food-crisis-by-ngozi-okonjo-iweala-2022-03? Since we know that this is not ‘new information’, as in they didn’t suddenly discover that Russia and Ukraine are big producers of wheat and sunflower oil, I can’t help but think that by NOT doing anything about Putin’s explicitly stated plans to invade Ukraine, they WANTED this to happen. In other words, since the WTO and other world leaders knew that this would happen, but didn’t try to stop it, it’s hard not to think that they want mass starvation in poor countries OR a reason to massively intervene in more countries to ‘save’ them. Just one step closer to a global govt.
pkadams says:
“they WANTED this to happen.”
I agree completley.
“They” want to wreck society.
All this chaos and turmoil for the average person is by design.
It is intentional.
Once a person recognizes this, then “Their” nonsensical actions, policies and “official narratives” become more clear and crystalize their real agenda.
“…hard not to think that they want mass starvation in poor countries OR a …”
Instant Refugee Crisis… which strengthens the Ruling Class in 2 ways.
1) The flight of the best workers leaves the Home country weaker and easier to buy up cheap
2) Mass migration is good at weakening receiving nations since it lowers the price of low skill labor and diverse populations are far less political or socially involved …far easier to rule over.

You should look at Chris Knowles blog, TheSecretSun.
His take on MKUltra is that it was about Entity Possession rather then mind control and he makes an argument that at least portion of the Trans thing is about that, Angelic and demonic beings are most often considered genderless or gender fluid(succubus/incubus) … his take on how Jung was the true source of the MK projects to reshape the world from the ground up is also pretty interesting.

“….P.S. Anyone got any ideas for keeping blood pressure from plummeting without medications..”
NOT a doctor but drinking more tea or coffee, eating more salt and wearing compression socks are all recommended by “the internet” 🙂
Also says drink more water, which is the least likely to do any harm I guess.
Debra! I laughed on your last paragraph when I read it!
I’ve been wondering about you…not knowing if you left us.
Thanks for checking in.
Enjoy your family time. I like hearing that aspect.
When drinking water, minerals are extremely important. Especially salt and magnesium.
Hi Debra.b
Regarding blood pressure- lemon essential oil will regulate blood pressure as needed. Also rosemary essential oil to treat low blood pressure. Avoid lavender and ylang ylang (they lower blood pressure and heart rate inducing relaxation).
Regarding oxygen- sandalwood and frankincense essential oils are oxygenating. Eucalyptus, peppermint and cinnamon oils aid the respiratory system and reduce inflammation.
Electrolytes in water for dehydration.
Hope that helps. I’m a big believer in natural remedies. I like DoTerra oils best because they are pure and therapeutic grade, though can be a bit pricey.
Keep up that sense of humor. May you have happiness, healing, and peace during your recovery.
As EMFs are destructive to all that lives on this planet, especially with the advent of 5G and the upcoming 6G and 7G, how is it that the “elites” think they can escape this? When push comes to shove, their children will be infertile as well, they will get Alzheimer’s as well, they will get nasty cancers as well…
One element of this discussion that I have never seen mentioned before is this.
Folks like Schwab and Soros and Gates aren’t exactly spring chickens.
They know their days are getting more and more limited.
Inside their satanic DNA and blood I’m sure they’d love to see most of the population of the world eliminated before they go themselves!
Happy Easter to all. Largish post follows as two ‘replies’…..
Humanity is under attack on many fronts and has been for decades for the purpose of transforming global society from being nation-oriented to a global, uni-polar, top-down governing structure. In order to achieve this goal all elements that make up a healthy society, such as spirituality, culture, economy, family and identity have been under sustained attack for decades, targeted for destruction to make way for the new global regime. This process is currently in train and is now well advanced such that now humanity itself is in grave danger. For the sake of future generations I suggest that the source of power for these attacks be removed.
Here are some links that explain the global financial system. IMO these links also describe that source of power:

https://rumble.com/vro3oe-the-money-masters-pt.-2-remastered-2022.html
We need to extinguish the power that energises bad actors to perpetrate their crimes against humanity. To do this I am convinced that we need to ditch the current financial system. I feel sure that once this has been accomplished and a new people-oriented system is in place seemingly unrelated problems, denied their power source, will simply evaporate without intervention.
Here are some thoughts regarding a new financial system:
• current financial system allows expression of power of ruling class to the detriment of humanity
• creation of nations’ currency as debt by private actors is immoral and insane and is tantamount to a nation RENTING its money supply
• the people should OWN their money supply not RENT it
• financial power has corrupted all corners of global society and all governing structures therefore change has to come from the people and not from “authority”
• this problem is very urgent – the very existence of humanity and what it means to be human is now in great and immediate danger
• many if not all problems facing the world originate from the ruling class expressing their power through the financial system
• we need to research and try to improve on attempts in history to claim financial sovereignty
• we must make the old system redundant
• new system not owned by any one entity – belongs to the people – no figurehead to target
• aim to become universally accepted in as short a time as possible so as not to give the enemy time to mobilise
• should be scaleable
• must be stable
• should be protected from contamination by the current system (manipulation by big players to destabilise etc.)
I know! Easy from my armchair, not so easy in real life, but I had to say something in the hope I will stimulate conversation. Hopefully more to come. Good wishes all….
Scrip or self issued credit checks almost all the boxes as you layed them out.
I disagree that we need one universal/global system. When the time comes, exchanges will take care of interoperability. Fragmentation is good.
I also don’t think the new system has to obsolete the old one. It just needs to work in parallel with it and be as compatible as possible. It should also augment it where need be; for example, it would by its nature be sanction proof.
The most important aspects of instituting such new systems are two: guns and balls. Balls to use guns when the new system is declared illegal as it surely will be.

Second, we should implement last year’s global tax deal. Some 137 countries—representing nearly 95 percent of the world’s GDP—have agreed to rewrite the international tax rules to impose a global minimum tax on corporate foreign earnings and to partially reallocate taxing rights from countries where companies are headquartered to those where they sell goods and services. This tax deal is necessary to end the race to the bottom in corporate taxes and to reform profit reallocation rules that, by demanding a physical nexus to a taxing jurisdiction, no longer reflect modern economic realities. By ensuring that profitable corporations pay their fair share and operate on a level playing field, the deal will provide governments around the world the resources they need to invest in their people and economies.
Third, we must ensure the IMF has the tools to fulfill its role of financial firefighter in the face of modern, potentially more frequent, global crises….
Why the Vaccinated Are MUCH More Likely To Support a No-Fly Zone in Ukraine…

You might think the number of COVID vaccines a person has taken has nothing to do with their support for NATO military intervention in Ukraine…
UNLESS something else is going on.
Could it be the same people susceptible to media fear propaganda about COVID are just as taken in by the propaganda that says the US should be involved militarily in Ukraine?
mkey, Ditto to your reply to Mal on ideas for a new monetary system, “Fragmentation is good.” And “must be sanction proof”.
Re: needing guns and balls, I don’t have any balls but I do have some hefty breasts. Does that count?
In a pinch, hefty breasts will do just fine.

Small educational videos about photoshopping.
While in the background there is a weird broken relationship story.
It is a good idea to make educational videos about something,
while telling a different story.
It does not need much acting nor much research. Just one topic at a time.
It could be anything, like: “you suck at piano”.
It gave me some ideas about my own series:
“You suck at science”, where I explain the different ways
you can fraud in science.
“You suck in psychology”, to explain manipulation and gaslighting.
Using different titles of course.
Another funny series would be: “Bill Gates working on the new stuff”.
I hope it inspires some people to make their own funny series.
These are quite good. Devil on the desktop on a few videos certainly left an impression on more than a few people.
Agreed – quite good!

Don’t worry James you didn’t miss it because there was nothing to miss!
Vinnie is spreading a bit of misinformation in the ‘This Boy’ post.
You caught his goof on John’s age.
He also goofed on producer Martin’s dropping the sound level at the start of each verse.
There is no clash between John’s chords (Maj) and the vocals (Maj7) !
You can clearly hear both the guitar and the vocals.
A Maj7 chord and Maj chord go together perfectly. It is used all the time in music,
especially classical music.
What WILL clash is a Min 3rd and a Maj 3rd as well as a Dom7 and a Maj7.
Vinnie isolated the Maj7 note and the Maj note (root) and played them together to demonstrate
their clashing (D note and C# note). When you play those two notes in isolation they will clash.
But that’s not what happens in the song. Full chords are being played and sung.
All is good (at least in this song). 🙂

I’m not going to sugar coat this. I’ll come right out and say it. If you have cardiovascular problems, prone to strokes, are syncopic and experiencing respiratory distress after the jab, you may want to close your eyes while reading this. Here it is: Everything we’ve been told is a lie. EXCEPT, the James Corbett documentaries, articles, reports and lectures. Oh yeah, and taxes. They weren’t kidding about that.
A shocker, huh. Except for Corbett Report subscribers. Of course, James would always caution everyone to do their own research because there might be a one million squared chance he made a mistake. For those new to the CR, the best investment you could make, in addition to precious metals, farmland, plenty of food/water, a bunker, body armor, weapons, ammunition, and a few rocket launchers, is to become a paid Corbett Report member. James will undoubtedly deny it, but not only does he have an eidetic memory, when he is not being an ideal father and husband, in his limited spare time, he travels the globe astrally. He knows when you’ve been sleeping, knows when you’re awake. If you’ve been watching porno he won’t tell anyone. He’s not here to judge. That’s the kind of guy he is.
Once a subscriber you can post to the forum and read informative contributions from people not like me all over the globe. A dollar a month doesn’t sound like much, and it isn’t, but James is still accepting worthless fiat currency for a wealth of information one rarely finds in one convenient location. If you’re a cheapskate/hoarder, you can still download all of James’s documentaries for free. There is no pay wall. James doesn’t believe in walls. If you have a wall, don’t tell James because he will tear it down. Except if it’s being used to enclose exotic wild animals. Which you shouldn’t have anyway. Find a place with room to roam like the Rothschild estate and set them free. Or truck them over to the Bank of International Settlements and turn them loose.
I hope this information has been useful and you have decided to subscribe, buy or make a Corbett Report T-shirt, order some CDs, or if you’re a senior such as myself, have found a specialty shop that will make a Corbett Report bib to wear when dining out. I wish you all well, which won’t make a damn bit of difference if you continue eating sugar, white flour and vegetable oil. But do the best you can with what you’ve got. Remember: The Corbett Report community is alway here to provide a false sense of security. Try to be happy. If you feel miserable, take off the mask, find a Freedom Cell near you, hug everyone, meditate, write a book, start your own website, and if all else fails, if you’re near the Amazon, ask around about a safe and effective ayahuasca ceremony. That’s all I have to say. Oh yeah, one more thing…junk your TV.
Thank you for the chuckles – I want more. Wish I had your knack for writing.

“The West Needs WWIII” – Martin Armstrong Warns
“There’s No Return To Normal Here”
(One hour interview)
https://usawatchdog.com/the-west-needs-wwiii-martin-armstrong/
WWW zerohedge.com/geopolitical/west-needs-wwiii-martin-armstrong-warns-theres-no-return-normal-here
[This is an easy-to-grasp listening podcast as one does chores.]
Armstrong brings up May 9, known as Victory Day for Russians for their remembrance of their defeat of Nazi Germany. An event could be triggered in light of this date.
Armstrong explains, “What they are trying to do is deliberately poke the bear…”
“They want Russia to do something. . . . This thing with Russia is the same thing all over again. Unfortunately, we are headed for war.”
“They are increasing the pressure on just about everything under the sun. The West needs World War III. They just need it.”
Martin Armstrong discusses the economic scene:
“The real problem here is they went to negative interest rates in 2014 in Europe. They have been unable to stimulate the economy, and Keynesian economics have completely failed…”
“I would say this is mismanagement of government on a global scale. The problem is that central banks have no control over the economy.”
“Add to this, this type of inflation is substantially different than a speculative boom. This inflation is based upon shortages. These morons with covid… with lockdowns, ended up destroying the supply chains…”
“So, what we have with Europe, with its negative interest rates, they have wiped out all the pension funds. They need 8% to break even, not negative rates. There is not a pension fund in Europe that is solvent at this stage of the game. . . . The European government is collapsing. If they end up defaulting, you are going to have millions of people down there with pitch forks storming the parliament. So, to avoid that, they need war…”
“U.S. dollar will get stronger initially and not weaker”
“This is all deliberate.”
Many Corbett Report Members have mentioned Martin Armstrong on past threads.

I had an old Mercedes diesel which I ran on filtered oil from local restaurants. The conversion had already been made when I got it. That was 11 years ago, not long after I first moved into my off-the-grid home. It was quite a chore to filter the oil and to pick it up locally. I sold it in 2014, as a pickup truck or SUV is more practical out here on rural dirt roads.

Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki pulled after 8 innings with chance at back-to-back perfect games
https://archive.ph/7i3d3
EXCERPTS
Four days after Clayton Kershaw being pulled following seven perfect innings caused an uproar, a 20-year-old Japanese phenom who pitched a perfect game in his last start was removed after pitching eight perfect innings.
Roki Sasaki, who struck out 19 while achieving perfection in his previous outing, struck out 14 on Sunday while incredibly pitching another eight perfect innings. But his day ended with a 101 mph fastball for his final strikeout at the end of the eighth, as he was pulled after 102 pitches with his Chiba Lotte Marines and the Nippon-Ham Fighters tied 0-0. The Fighters ultimately won 1-0 in 10 innings.
Sasaki, whose perfect game last week was the first in Nippon Professional Baseball since 1994, has 56 strikeouts against only two walks in 31 innings this season.
“This was so exciting, I don’t have words,” the Fighters’ Chusei Mannami, who hit the winning homer in the 10th inning, said of Sasaki, according to The Japan Times. “Our guys just hung in there, and we kept saying on the bench let’s get something going.”
“[Sasaki] is just too tough. The way that forkball drops? Forget about it.”…
…Foreign-born players who are younger than 25 years old and have fewer than six years of experience are subjected to international bonus pool restrictions. So until Sasaki reaches those thresholds, he’d have to settle for a relatively small contract if Chiba Lotte were to post him….

Monmouth University law class tries to save Armando Galarraga’s (almost) perfect game [circa 2010]
https://archive.ph/0k47A
EXCERPTS
It’s one of the most infamous mistakes in sports history.
Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga was denied a perfect game in 2010 when an umpire erroneously ruled that the 27th batter, with two outs in the ninth inning, had beaten a throw to first base.
The umpire and the batter both admitted the call was wrong, but Major League Baseball’s commissioner refused to overturn the umpire’s decision and award Galarraga the 21st perfect game in the sport’s 134-year history.
Support to overturn came from the White House, the governor of Michigan and all corners of the media.
Add a new group to that list: 16 members of a Monmouth University “Law and Society” course and their professor, retired New Jersey Superior Court judge Lawrence Jones, have submitted an 82-page document to current MLB commissioner Rob Manfred that makes a case for Galarraga’s addition to the list of perfect games.
Galarraga, who is now retired from baseball and living in Texas, was so touched by the effort that he conducted a Zoom meeting with the students to tell his story and express appreciation…
…The perfect game is one of the most hallowed achievements in sports — there hasn’t been one in 10 years, although Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw was on his way there last week before his manager pulled him after seven innings out of concern for his arm.
In Galarraga’s situation, the classy way he and umpire Jim Joyce handled the mistake provided an enduring lesson in sportsmanship…
…“It’s a great job by them,” he [Armando Galarraga] told the Asbury Park Press. “They saw something not right and they want to prove a point. I think that’s good. That’s what leads to progress.”

“Why are some people not listening to logic, reason or evidence and making decisions based on emotions or media gossip.
“We analyse all the elements involved in reaching people from cognitive dissonance to story telling. We explore how we absorb information, how our perceptions can be altered (with or without our consent) and how we can best protect ourselves from unwanted outside influences.

AlienScientist and Aidan Monaghan debunk 9/11 POD theory and Judy Wood
(One hour 16 minutes VIDEO)(Nice visuals for that era)
http://911blogger.com/news/2013-01-08/alienscientist-and-aidan-monaghan-debunk-911-pod-theory-and-judy-wood-published-jan-8-2013
9/11 Researcher Aidan Monaghan helps me to debunk the POD/Missile/drone swap theory, and discusses other 9/11 misinfo and disinfo, some of which is covered in his new book “Declassifying 9/11” (an excellent compilation of Government Documents regarding 9/11 obtained from FOIA inquiries and revealing the holes in the official theory). We also discuss other disinformation that has been persistent within the 9/11 Truth Movement such as “No Plane” / “Hologram” theories and the DEW Demolition Theory of Judy Wood.
This newer version was uploaded to correct some mistaken attributions to Pilots for 9/11 Truth as the original source of the POD misinfo. P4T have never endorsed the POD theory, and this mistaken attribution was the result of a film by Dave von Kleist which falsely labelled Glen Stanish as a “Founder of Pilots for 9/11 Truth”. Also Glen MacDonald was never a member of Pilots for 9/11 Truth.
I was not aware of the original source of this information, and could not find that information through my own research prior to the original release of this video. Only after Rob Balsamo of Pilots for 9/11 Truth brought this to my attention, was I made aware of these facts. I apologize for the confusion and mistakes as well as any unintended blame I may have directed at the P4T organization.
It is now my belief that this original film promoting the POD theory by Dave von Kleist was a disinformation propaganda piece, and I unfortunately swallowed that poison pill… I am hoping that in 2013 we can purge more of these “poison pills” from our system, including the Judy Wood disinfo, and lead the 9/11 truth movement closer to Truth and Justice for the 9/11 victims and their families.
~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~
Aidan Monaghan is a well-respected researcher with an expertise on planes.
He did a lot of FOIA requests. A search on 911blogger will bring up some stuff.
The conversation mentions the slime-ball Morgan Reynolds. A person cannot discuss Judy Wood without knowing about Morgan Reynolds, his background and what he eventually did in the movement.
In the very earliest days, the North Texans for 9/11 Truth group had him speak at an event. The rearview mirror of that event was like ugly roadkill as Reynolds later caused all kinds of grief with his disinfo-infiltration.

The WTC Leaseholder and His Associates That Cheated Death on 9/11: Was it Coincidence or Foreknowledge?

Kevin Ryan –
Another amazing coincidence related to the WTC
http://911blogger.com/news/2008-01-06/another-amazing-coincidence-related-wtc
There appears to be a remarkable correlation between the floors upgraded for fireproofing in the WTC towers, in the years preceding 9/11/01, and the floors of impact, fire and failure…
That was an interesting conversation, but I found they glossed over and completely missed some of the most salient points:
– roadrunner effect, disappering wing: no mention
– possibility of missiles being used: no mention of many early witnesses, even reporters, stating they saw missiles. Stuff like that speaks volumes against a monolithic conspiracy, a subject often tackled by our host here
There are TV news recordings of such reports, hopefully not all memoryholed. After a while on that day, the TV news show anchors “corrected” reporters calling in about the missiles with the “consensus” version of the story, “confirming” that planes were in fact used
– plane speed: how fast could the planes fly to be still sufficiently manouverable AND to be speedy enough to penetrate a steel encased building? These two are diammetrically opposed conditions.
The point made about how we don’t really know how fast was this something cruising is well taken, but, again, how fast does this plane need to go to suspend disbelief?
I remember TV people “explaining” how the plane could do what it did because of the speed. That was avery strong motive to up the speed. How fast did it fly?
If one were to swing a steel encased building toward a stationary, levitating plane, how fast would the building need to be swung at the collision point for the plane to be swallowed whole? Physics says these two things are basically the same, a plane hitting a building or the other way around, thanks to the conservation of movement
– “energy” weapons: it’s very naive at best to think that we know about techologies the gubment has under its belt. Be it advanced weapons systems or visual obfuscation devices. We ought to err on the side of caution and assume they are running circles around us, as usual
– “free energy”: this is just more naivety on display from the show host. The ONLY thing that’s keeping us in the oil paradigm is the slave mentality. It’s all about keeping people boxed up, in constant fight or flight, kill or starve mode.
Continued reliance on oil has no relation to available technologies. None, and no relation should be assumed.
From a more esoteric, ritualistic perpsective, a parallel could be drawn to mindless leeches sucking the lifeforce out of their mother.
An unwitting ritual participant is still a participant.
There is a lot of background information surrounding most of the aspects which you bring up. A vast number of hours have been spent addressing those issues, and the information is available.
Ditto what HRS said in his reply to you.
“– roadrunner effect, disappering wing: no mention” <sic>
I’m surprised that after 21 years you haven’t been able to solve that part of the 9/11 puzzle.
Here’s a hint: perspective.

Aidan Monaghan is a tireless 9/11 researcher of almost 2 decades. He has a degree in Electrical Engineering and had a career in “Electrostatics”!
He’s been conducting data collection from the government via the Freedom of Information Act requests that have yielded the 9/11 Truth Community a treasure trove of valuable data proving the official narrative of 9/11 can’t possibly be true.

Electrical Engineer tracks down the answers to questions that most of us wouldn’t even think to ask:
~~ What were the capabilities of the GPS guided autopilot flight control systems on Boeing 757/767’s navigation prior to 9/11? How about its performance on 9/11?
~~ What was the capability to remotely deliver flight plan waypoints to aircraft flight management systems before 9/11? And what was the history of remote “backdoor” accessibility to Boeing flight control computers?
~~ What was the significance of 9/11 flight transponder activity of the highjacked aircraft on 9/11?
~~ What is the significance of United Airline flight 175’s observed and measured performance prior to impacting WTC 2?
~~ What is the significance of the extreme and low-visibility weather the day before 9/11 on the alleged hijacker’s hoped-for outcome?
~~ Is the publicly released American Airlines #77 Flight Data Recorder an accurate record of the flight that hit the Pentagon?
~~ What was the flying capability of the alleged hijackers? Could they have flown the profiles on 9/11?

U.S. and European sanctions over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have cut several major banks off from SWIFT.
But Nabiullina told parliament Monday that 52 institutions from 12 countries are participating.
Until recently, the list was posted on the central bank’s website.
“Under the current circumstances we decided not to disclose on the website the list of companies connected to the system,” the press service said. “The users of the system can still see the list.”
Russia set up the system in 2014 after the first waves of sanctions over Ukraine. Nabiullina told legislators Tuesday that the central bank will continue its push to add new members, according to Interfax.
“Until there was such a threat of being cut off from SWIFT, foreign partners weren’t in much of a rush to join, but now we expect their readiness to be greater,” she said.
The list of participants is only one of several items that have disappeared from the central bank’s website in the weeks since the invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, which triggered sanctions on the Bank of Russia itself.
On Tuesday, the central bank said that it will no longer publish quarterly data on the schedule for repayments of foreign debt. Previously, it suspended release of some detailed information on its reserves.

Russia makes ‘digital’ rouble, home-grown credit card push
https://archive.ph/oChWn
EXCERPTS
(Reuters) – Russia said on Thursday it plans to have a “digital” rouble capable of making international payments ready by next year and also wants to expand the number of countries that accept its Visa- and Mastercard-style banking cards that are administrated by the central bank.
With Western sanctions cutting off Russia from large parts of the global financial system, Moscow is looking for alternative ways to make key payments both at home and abroad.
The country’s central bank governor, Elvira Nabiullina, said the bank plans for real-world “digital” rouble transactions to be possible next year, and that the digital currency could be used in some international settlements.
“The digital rouble is among the priority projects,” Nabiullina told Russia’s lower House of Parliament. “We have fairly quickly created a prototype … now we are holding tests with banks and next year we will gradually have pilot transactions.”..
…Some central bank experts have also suggested the new technologies mean countries would be able to deal more directly with each other, making them less dependent on Western-dominated payment channels such as the SWIFT system…
…Nabiullina also said Russia aims to extend the number of countries that accept the central bank’s MIR banking cards, an alternative to Visa Inc and MasterCard Inc which have joined other Western firms and suspended operations in Russia.
MIR and China’s UnionPay are among the few options left for Russians to make payments abroad since Russian banks were isolated from the global financial system in response to what Moscow calls its “special military operation” in Ukraine.
Efforts by the West to close possible routes for circumventing sanctions continued on Thursday.
The world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, said it was deactivating the accounts of Russian nationals and companies based there that hold the equivalent of more than 10,000 euros ($10,900)….

Indonesia palm oil export ban
https://www.dw.com/en/indonesia-bans-palm-oil-exports/a-61566183
The article is written for propaganda believers and brain dead, for others it makes no sense whatsoever.
“…[the ban] was necessary to bring down the domestic price of cooking oil as demand exceeds supplies.”
What??!!…the largest world producer of palm oil doesn’t have enough oil for domestic market?? Ok, let’s assume this is journalist’s error and it’s about world market shortage.
“Indonesia’s government had previously required producers to reserve stocks for domestic use, but this did not succeed in bringing prices down to an affordable level for the country’s households.”
Some have been asleep in high school when The Law of Communicating Vessels was on schedule.
“We know that this is not going to be the best result,” Indrawati [finance minister!!!] said. “If we are not going to export, that’s definitely going to hit the other countries.”
And what about Indonesia, he should supposedly care the most??
They are just fucking swimming in pools of cash and they will be just nice and dandy.
Some countries, Moldova, Hungary, Serbia put ban on some grain exports.
zerohedge.com/commodities/indonesia-bans-edible-oil-export-sparks-mayhem-global-food-crisis-ahead
This makes some sense, feed your own peons first.
But what will Indonesia do with all that excess palm oil? Feed its peons? Oil from breakfast to dinner? And there will still be enough to lube them to be sodomized by their government.
In the mean time globalists are so good and reasonable (again), you have to love them.
“At this week’s International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank meetings in Washington, policymakers expressed concern about possible food shortages due to the war in Ukraine.”
A myriad of sanctions are just precision weapons that will hit just damn russkies, actually Putin’s third eye. Why talk about insane tits for tats while there are kardashians, love islands, smiths…
“World Bank president David Malpass urged countries to avoid hoarding food stocks or implementing export controls.”

The microchip implants that let you pay with your hand
https://archive.ph/0Sjeo
EXCERPTS
Patrick Paumen causes a stir whenever he pays for something in a shop or restaurant.
This is because the 37-year-old doesn’t need to use a bank card or his mobile phone to pay. Instead, he simply places his left hand near the contactless card reader, and the payment goes through.
“The reactions I get from cashiers are priceless!” says Mr Paumen, a security guard from the Netherlands.
He is able to pay using his hand because back in 2019 he had a contactless payment microchip injected under his skin.
“The procedure hurts as much as when someone pinches your skin,” says Mr Paumen.
A microchip was first implanted into a human back in 1998, but it is only during the past decade that the technology has been available commercially.
And when it comes to implantable payment chips, British-Polish firm, Walletmor, says that last year it became the first company to offer them for sale.
“The implant can be used to pay for a drink on the beach in Rio, a coffee in New York, a haircut in Paris – or at your local grocery store,” says founder and chief executive Wojtek Paprota. “It can be used wherever contactless payments are accepted.”
Walletmor’s chip, which weighs less than a gram and is little bigger than a grain of rice, is comprised of a tiny microchip and an antenna encased in a biopolymer – a naturally sourced material, similar to plastic.
Mr Paprota adds that it is entirely safe, has regulatory approval, works immediately after being implanted, and will stay firmly in place. It also does not require a battery, or other power source. The firm says it has now sold more than 500 of the chips.
The technology Walletmor uses is near-field communication or NFC, the contactless payment system in smartphones. Other payment implants are based on radio-frequency identification (RFID), which is the similar technology typically found in physical contactless debit and credit cards…
…[Book author]She says that implanted payment chips are just “an extension of the internet of things”…
…[Nada Kakabadse] “There is a dark side to the technology that has a potential for abuse,” she says. “To those with no love of individual freedom, it opens up seductive new vistas for control, manipulation and oppression.
“And who owns the data? Who has access to the data? ….
Paul Joseph Watson has a few video clips.
One video shows how a chip is implanted on the nails with a manicure.

What in the ever-loving fuck is going on in the Ukraine? I just browse /pol/ threads all day, and then I post that content on the Media Monarchy discord server. There’s so much goddamned dis and misinfo re: Russia, there tank losses, there casualties, the state of the Ukrainian forces, Javelin and other material support from Western nations to the Ukrainian military. What the fuck is going on over there, James, or anyone? For realz…
Is it in the bag for Russia? Was this a devastating blow in many respects to their military and troop morale? My feeling with both of those questions is a somewhat hesitant ‘yes’, however I could also be being influenced by propaganda (which is the story of my life, I suppose).
Cheers.

“..hat in the ever-loving fuck is going on in the Ukraine? ….”
Russia has the advantage but is either unable or (more probably) unwilling to smash resistance by using FAEs to level the cities.
The US is planning to bleed Russia and fight to the “last Ukrainian”
The grain will not be exported from Russia or Ukraine (if Ukraine plants any) so for prices will go up…German aldi chain just hiked by 50%.
France will have to steal the elec6from Le Penn and may have more riots (like pre covid) because of gas shortages later on in the year but they do have lots of atomic power
Germany will suffer worse.

It’s a shit storm.
Of course russian army is bleeding, but ukrainian a magnitude more. I’ve seen several videos with huge thermobaric explosions over ukrainian positions…hell on earth.
But actually, this is a war against all of us. Its deadly rhythm section started two years ago and is grinding with death beat non-stop, just melody changed recently…beat is the same.

Biodiesel might degrade rubber. There is a lot of rubber parts in a car. In case of a problem they will have to be replaced with substitutes made of silicon rubber.

An after thought from my comment about minerals: “Especially salt and magnesium.”
I know that you have various body issues, including swallowing.
Sea salt (or somewhat toxic refined table salt) is mostly sodium chloride.
The body uses chloride for hydrochloric acid in the stomach to aid with digestion.
Hydrochloric acid is very acidic (pH level 1-2).
For most people with ordinary conditions, this is part of the normal, healthy body functions. In fact, Doctor David Brownstein has a book “Salt Your Way to Health”, and encourages people to eat a lot of salt. (Iodine also)
I wanted to mention this data, because I am not your Doctor nor anyone’s Doctor (except for me personally.) You have some unique conditions which only you have insight on, and so I wanted to be sure you had this data.
So, like
my son and his father arrived on the 20th from France to visit me for 7 days.
They brought with them a TV series called Station Eleven.
Yes, ok, as you may know, it’s all about a flu pandemic that kills off 99% of the human population. Everyone, running around in masks, new civilization and all, nothing surprising there.
But what was odd to me was that they found nothing interesting or comment-worthy about the fact that such a book, (that my ex reportedly had read during the first lockdowns), was adapted as a series and broadcast during the last months…
The idea that Hollywood might be working to impact people’s perceptions for social engineering or political reasons,
is just not worth discussing and belongs to the realm of uncouth, eye-rolling paranoid conspiracy theory,
no longer impacts me the way it used to with fiery indignation, fascination, exasperation and wide-eyed bewilderment.
But I still do find it…I’ll confess, a tad worrisome and annoying. A bit isolating, as well.
Nothing to see here folks, move along…
anyhow…
They have been on that kick for a while….
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivors_(2008_TV_series)
“..Sue Hogg, an executive producer at the BBC, was inspired to remake Survivors following the recent increase in concerns about future pandemics and diseases such as SARS.[7] It was decided that the show would be a re-imagining of the 1970s material made by BBC …”
Sorry if you feel isolated, that’s what they want people to feel so we shut up and there is never an example of non compliance for the normies.
https://www.corbettreport.com/tsa/
Yes, you’re right of course Duck, there’re tons of series and movies about viruses decimating the human population… It’s just entertaining to wonder about things like predictive programming and the impact media has on “the recent increase in concerns about future pandemics and diseases such as SARS” rather than just the other way around. And it’s occasionally satisfying, if not a little embarassing after the fact, to publicly whine.
So, tell me: how did you get two full links posted so quickly without loitering a little in the moderation queue first?
“..And it’s occasionally satisfying…to publicly whine…”
Don’t be embarrassed, I whine all the time in real life. No One with a TV is happy when I’m around snarking at the show.
On moderation, don’t know…. I suspect that the system is more picky about certain domains like YT or something?
Infectious disease is a rather common theme and I’d say part of zeitgeist, but the part I find interesting is the reason as to why would someone read such a book during lockdown.
yes, my reaction as well but the explanation I received was that it was a book that was being discussed online in the comments section of a popular French online programme about media, so more and more people began reading it to participate in the discussion.
So there’s an obvious example of how media orients people’s preoccupations rather than the opposite. Constant symbiotic back-and-forth flow between … the conscious and the subconcious…
I remember asking anyone who would listen a few years back if they thought it was weird there were so many zombie movies about infectious, apocalyptic viruses … what it would reveal about society… how preoccupations emerge…
Must be fortuitously convenient for the upcoming bio-medical police state being slotted into place to have all these terrifying images of virus-ridden zombies lurking, ever present in the corner of our collective subconscious…
I woulda thought the creation of a zeitgeist bears occasional examination… dunno…
I loved asking my poor uni students these cliché questions and then contradicting them…

“….remember asking anyone who would listen a few years back if they thought it was weird there were so many zombie movies about infectious, apocalyptic viruses … what it would reveal about society…”

Have you seen any Hollywood movies about HAARP technology or chemtrails?
I don’t believe I have…
None that I know of mention these but in passing. Maybe some x files episodes covered these topics in more detail, they covered pretty much everything.
The effect of massive implementation of 5G is a preoccupation that exceeds the boundries of conspiracy minds… and yet I don’t see lots of movies about that… can’t even think of one actually… there must be at least one…
and going back to chemtrails… there could be a cool Three Days of the Condor-style thriller that unfolds… the guy who works at the airline company, little by little, discovers that tanks are being affixed to the planes or starts noticing the streaks in the skies, the tic tac toe grids, the weird fibrous fluff that falls to the ground and fills tree branches (I have photos of this), the clandestine lab tests revealing toxic levels of barium, strontium etc and since we’re preoccupied with diseases, Morgellons that starts forming on people’s skin, inside their bodies…
gotta go make breakfast now

Notice the Covid-19 positivity rate in the Unvaccinated (6.9%) compared to those who had a third shot (17.1%).
Thus, this could demonstrate that a person is almost 2 1/2 times more likely to get Covid-19 if they had a booster shot.

QUESTION for CORBETT-IERS
Asking everyone….. do you notice actual shortages where you are?
Are we getting faked like with the Great Toilet Paper Psyop? (Every shot on TV talking about it had a person walk by with a cart piled high)
Food shortage should start in about 3 months,not yet.
North Texas
We have no shortage of actual basic food….there are spaces in the aisles and weird specific items like brands of cat food or brands of clothes soap can’t be found.
Duck says:
”North Texas
We have no shortage of actual basic food….there are spaces in the aisles and weird specific items like brands of cat food or brands of clothes soap can’t be found.”
I notice the same in North Texas grocery stores.
Of course, prices have been edging up over the past few years.
Very, very rarely do I shop for things other than food. A couple months ago, I finally broke down and bought a new ‘basic’ coffee maker and the price was in-line.
Of course, I have all kinds of stuff…especially hardware, tools and gardening things.
Gardening:
This year, I refused to buy the potted small nursery plants. The nursery plants are a much, much higher cost. At $5 for the smallest tomato starter, I ain’t gonna do it.
I have old seed stock, and plus I am using grocery store vegetables (their clearance in produce) for seeds.
I may break down and buy some organic potting soil for my stack of old pots when I get to that point in my list of projects. Maybe buy a butterfly bush as the season progresses.
The North Texas intermittent rains have been good for my yard and garden areas. I rent a small duplex.
A few years ago, from 12″ cuttings-twigs, I started some Mulberry trees. They are 6 feet tall now. I recently transplanted one to the front and it took nicely. I will do the other in the back soon. The peach tree already has ‘baby’ peaches. I have a plum, pear, apple and pomegranate tree also. I’m hoping my olive trees will come back after the freeze. …all this on a very small plot. Blackberry vines are coming up now. The garlic keeps propagating (use it to deter pests). Strawberries and Onions are fine. Ate some asparagus last week. I plan to do some cuttings on a goji berry plant this year, and cuttings from some other plants. Lots of herbs. The peppermint and oregano are going to town right now. Lots of alfalfa in the back yard for the soil health.
I’m a “minimum maintenance labor” type gardener, especially in the back. You won’t see neatly tilled rows at my place.
Late winter, I put up some more bird houses. Very near my front door, the bluebirds are extremely busy with their young. It is amazing to see their acrobatic flying. I try to keep the sparrows away because they are an invasive species and antagonistic to native birds.
At sunrise every morning, 20 feet from my desk which is near the back porch screen door, a male red headed house finch repeats its song over and over.
https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/House_Finch/sounds
Sometimes when I play this, the finch will fly over and do its tune.
I’m glad I don’t have a Mockingbird nesting near my windows. Sometimes, they can go on a tirade of tunes way before sunrise.
The catnip near my back door attracts the neighbor’s cat. We are friends and ‘talk’. Sometimes, it follows me like a dog around the yard.
– Sparrows –
Just like I mentioned above, sparrows are an invasive species and antagonistic to native birds.
They killed the young bluebirds this weekend, and also took over another bluebird nest on my property.
I am concerned about the red headed house finch family. I think they are living in another birdhouse on my property. But sometimes I hear the sparrows flocking over and giving them grief.
I got my BB gun cocked.
An interesting choice for a mainstream headline…

High-fructose corn syrup is also unhealthy for Coca-Cola’s bottom line right now

A cheap raw material no more.
High-fructose corn syrup — long a cost-effective sweetener for sugary drinks — appears to also be unhealthy for the bottom line of soda giant Coca-Cola (KO).
“We are closely monitoring further pressure in some inputs such as high fructose corn syrup, PET, and metals, along with wages and transportation as they impact us, as well as our bottling partners,” Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey said on the company’s first quarter earnings call Monday.
The inflationary group of important raw materials caused Coke’s non-GAAP gross profit margins to drop 90 basis points in the quarter compared to a year earlier….

Twitter’s Top Lawyer Breaks Down In Tears During Musk Takeover Meeting
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/twitters-top-lawyer-breaks-down-tears-during-musk-takeover-meeting
EXCERPTS
Twitter’s top lawyer, Vijaya Gadde, reportedly broke down in tears during a virtual meeting with the company’s policy and legal teams to discuss the ramifications of Elon Musk’s purchase of the social media platform.
According to Politico, “Gadde cried during the meeting as she expressed concerns about how the company could change,” and “acknowledged that there are significant uncertainties about what the company will look like under Musk’s leadership.”
Having been with Twitter since 2011, Gadde was the key executive in charge of ‘trust and safety, legal and public policy functions’ – described by Politico as the company’s “moral authority.”
Gadde holds one of the most controversial positions at Twitter: Her teams decide how to moderate content. That’s made her a target of right-wing criticism, particularly when Twitter blocked the distribution of a New York Post article about President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, in 2020. She faced a renewed wave of criticism after multiple reports confirmed she was behind the decision to ban Trump from Twitter. —Politico
In other words, Gadde is likely the exec who signed off on ZeroHedge’s February 2020 ban for speculating that Covid-19 may have emerged from a Wuhan Lab, and President Trump’s January 2021 ban in connection with the capitol riot.
She has shepherded Twitter through some of its most contentious political battles, including the decisions to remove all political advertising and to boot former President Donald Trump from the platform in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack on Capitol Hill — a position that has earned her devoted fans within Twitter, as well as a large contingent of right-wing critics.
But as news of Musk’s official takeover broke, policy and legal employees fretted at the meeting about what his leadership could mean for Twitter’s carefully crafted online speech rules, including its policies against hate speech, misinformation and even political advertising. —Politico
She played a ‘leading role’ in the negotiation between Twitter and Musk, according to the report….
The people running Twitter are nothing but the slave class… like t he Janissary slave army or the straps of the Persian empire they have nothing without the system-only they are weaker, more disgusting and less useful.
That said, the Twitter fight is probably just billionaires fighting over who’s gonna program the normies. Won’t help truth minded folks either way, I suspect
Good news…

Russian Hackers Are Targeting Europe’s Renewable Energy Infrastructure

EXCERPTS
~~~ Putin’s war in Ukraine has forced much of Europe to look for alternatives to Russian fossil fuels.
~~~ German wind power firms are now being targeted by Russian cyberattacks.
~~~ Reports of attacks on U.S. and international organizations by Russian-backed ransomware group Conti are on the rise…
…Earlier this month, Conti, a group that declared support for Russia at the start of the war in Ukraine, claimed responsibility for the attack on Nordex.
The cyberattacks on Germany-based wind power companies began on the day on which Russia invaded Ukraine—February 24.
Turbine maker Enercon GmbH announced a massive disruption of the satellite communication following a cyberattack on a satellite that day.
“Communication services provided via the satellite went down at almost exactly the same time that Russian troops invaded Ukraine,” Enercon said last week in its latest update on the cyber incident. Around 30,000 satellite terminals used by companies and organizations from various sectors were affected across Europe, including 5,800 Enercon wind energy converters (WECs) in central Europe with a total installed power of more than 10 gigawatts.
“The incident is suspected to have happened in connection with the Russian war of aggression, the disruption of the communication to the WECs is collateral damage,” Enercon said, noting that “There is no risk to the WECs and never has been.” …
…In late February, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said in an alert that “Conti cyber threat actors remain active and reported Conti ransomware attacks against U.S. and international organizations have risen to more than 1,000.”
“A portion of actors involved with Conti ransomware are based in Russia and some criminals operating from there already have documented ties with Russian intelligence apparatus,”….

Three S9 bitcoin mining rigs will be deployed to run 24/7 in a closed environment on a private network operated by the Information Technology Solutions Department Data Center located at Fort Worth City Hall.
The S9 bitcoin miners were donated by the bitcoin and blockchain advocacy group, Texas Blockchain Council. The donation has formally been accepted today.
“With blockchain technology and cryptocurrency revolutionizing the financial landscape, we want to transform Fort Worth into a tech-friendly city,” said Mayor of Fort Worth, Mattie Parker.
“Today, with the support and partnership of the Texas Blockchain Council, we’re stepping into that world on a small scale while sending a big message – Fort Worth is where the future begins,” Parker continued.
The program starts with only the three machines so the city of Fort Worth can monitor performance, energy requirements, and familiarize itself with the process of bitcoin mining over a six-month period.
Fort Worth estimates that the individual energy required to mine bitcoin from each of the mining rigs will be equal to that of a household vacuum cleaner, according to the release. This nominal energy-usage is expected to be offset by the profits obtained from mining bitcoin….
Two Texans…
23-year-olds Brent Whitehead and Matt Lohstroh made $4 million mining bitcoin off flare gas from oil

Incredible story about 23-year-old Texans who made $4 million last year and projected to make $20 million this year. How? – By mining Bitcoin from flare gas off of oil drilling.
From side gigs in lawn care and landscaping to the startup, Giga Energy Solutions, a company that mints bitcoin from stranded natural gas. Oil ad gas companies have typically struggled in the past when they’ve hit natural gas formation while drilling for oil.
They have a truly incredible story in my opinion when it comes to finding allies in Upstream Data with the founder, Steve Barbour, and Adam Ortolf.
Lee Bratcher, president of the Texas Blockchain Council, sees the environmental advantages along with the efficiency of mining what would be otherwise wasted material.

Colorado firm investing over $300 million for bitcoin mining, hosting site south of Dallas

A public company focused on bitcoin mining and hosting plans to invest over $300 million in a site south of Dallas.
Colorado-based Riot Blockchain (Nasdaq: RIOT) has unveiled a development in Navarro County, located about one hour south of Dallas. It would add to another site in Texas.
This first phase of the new effort in Navarro County will be for $333 million and is scheduled to be invested over this year and into the first quarter of 2024. It includes land acquisition, site preparation and construction of buildings…
…The company, which will use immersion-cooling infrastructure and technology, said the initial effort would be for 400 megawatts of power with room for up to about 1 gigawatt, in the statement. The initial phase is anticipated to bring about 270 “direct jobs,” it said.
There are other efforts with crypto and mining around North Texas. In October, Core Scientific, a blockchain infrastructure and software provider in Austin, announced an agreement with the City of Denton and energy company Tenaska to create a cryptocurrency mining operation. It opened some of its capacity earlier this year. And this week, the city of Fort Worth is launching a pilot program to mine bitcoin.
Riot already has a site in Rockdale, located south of Waco. It’s a few hours from Navarro County, allowing the company to leverage its existing employee base, it said.
With the new addition, “Riot’s developed capacity will total 1.7 GW, establishing the company among the largest bitcoin mining operations globally,” Jason Les, CEO of Riot, said in a statement.

Austin area man offers Elon Musk free land to move Twitter’s headquarters to his cattle ranch

EXCERPTS
After Twitter accepted Elon Musk’s deal to buy the social platform for $44 billion, Jim Schwertner made his own offer to Musk: 100 acres in Schwertner, Texas at no cost.
As President and CEO of Schwertner Farms, he oversees farming and ranching on 20,000 acres of land just north of Georgetown, in Williamson and Bell County [Near Jerrell, TX off I-35]. He told Austonia he thinks Musk is the best thing to ever happen to Texas. He added that a business like Twitter would add a lot of jobs and boost the economy, so giving the land, which is about 75 football fields, to Musk would be a “win-win for everybody.”
“We think it’s a good idea, especially when you’ve got Samsung coming to Taylor,” Schwertner said. “I mean, this area is exploding and we want to be part of this explosive growth.”
Austin’s tech boom has reached just outside city limits with Austin suburbs offering handsome incentives to attract companies. Just recently, data centers have been announced from Meta and Sabey in Temple and Round Rock.
But when it comes to the social media giants in Central Texas, offices like those of Meta and TikTok have been selected in downtown Austin, about a 50-minute drive from Schwertner.
Twitter currently has its headquarters on Market Street, a major thoroughfare in San Francisco near lots of food and entertainment. And while the company reopened in March, CEO Parag Agrawal told employees they’re welcome to work from wherever they’d like, whether it’s in the office every day, at home or hybrid.
Schwertner, who lives in Austin, has watched Musk’s moves with Tesla, SpaceX and the Boring Company locally.
“I just think with all the stuff he’s done, he evidently likes Texas, right or he wouldn’t have moved from California,” Schwertner said. “And I want to be part of his plan if he’ll come visit with us.”…
See above about Georgetown and Jarrell, Texas.
Back in 1972, I was at college in Georgetown for awhile.
I had some good friends from Chile, South America.
Paul had very long dark hair and kind of looked like Che Guevara, especially when he wore that trademark like cap.
One day, we two decided to go on a short adventure. We hitchiked up north on the interstate about 20 miles to the truckstop at Jarrell, Texas for a late breakfast.
We deliberately sat down next to an old dusty, wild-eyed codger at the counter. We introduced ourselves.
His name was Hugh RidingArrow. He told us stories. Now, I’m a bit skeptical about his Texas silver mine story, but we enjoyed the tales.
We all talked for quite awhile with coffee overload. Then hitchhiked back to campus.

My son’s wife’s family has a huge cattleranch just south of Georgetown.
Makes sense for them to set up their own infrastructure-Texas has everything it needs to be a decently survivable country and the DFW area is such a major transport hub, with plenty of people and potential energy,a FED, bankers setting up shop and a eruv. I would not be surprised if the Texas elites break it off into some kind of interdependent area if things go too wonkey in the bigger national scene… I kinda think maybe the elites want a “patchwork” of small, banker controllable mini-states since they spend so much money stoking ethnic tension in the US and bringing non compatible immigrants to Europe.
hmn..
‘…The great bank migration into Dallas-Fort Worth is directly tied to the general influx of people to the area, bank executives say. D-FW had the largest population increase in the past decade of any metro area in the U.S., with a 19% boost that added 1.2 million people, according to the U.S. Census Bureau…..’

You got that right about the huge migration of people coming to Texas. I don’t much care for it, because it changes the native culture of “traditional Texas”.
My son is the overseeing Supervisor of a huge construction project for an investment bank’s new office complex in the north Dallas area. It is pretty massive.
One day, he was outside talking with some of the banking Execs.
One says: “Look at the license plates.” as he pointed out towards the acres of parked cars.
They were all out-of-state plates.

I think, if things dont descend faster, that Texas is going to be as much of a cesspit as California is now in 10 to 20 years.
California is getting ethnic cleansing of blacks by Latinos and I expect we will see Similar ethnic violence all over by then if not before.

Reputed federal informant, whistleblower found dead in L.A. after he’s reported missing

A reputed federal informant and whistleblower who went missing after he was reported to have turned over a trove of secret files about Deutsche Bank was found dead at a Los Angeles school this week, a police official said Wednesday.
The body of Valentin Broeksmit, 46, was found Monday at Woodrow Wilson High School shortly before 7 a.m., Sgt. Rudy Perez of the Los Angeles School Police Department said in an email.
Records of the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner do not list a cause of death. Los Angeles Police Capt. Kenneth Cabrera told the Los Angeles Times that authorities do not suspect foul play.
[ – – – ]
Broeksmit was last seen driving a red Mini Cooper on the afternoon of April 6, 2021, on Riverside Drive and was later reported missing by relatives, Los Angeles police said.
His vehicle was found, the department said, but Broeksmit remained missing.
Perez said Wednesday that he appeared to be homeless.
According to a 2019 profile in The New York Times, Broeksmit was a musician and the son of a Deutsche Bank executive who died by suicide in 2014.
After his father’s death, Broeksmit gained access to his father’s email account and found hundreds of files related to the bank, including board meeting minutes, financial plans, spreadsheets and password-protected presentations, the newspaper reported…
…According to The Times, Broeksmit supplied the documents to journalists and others, including Fusion GPS, the research firm linked to an unverified dossier about Trump, and investigators with the FBI’s New York office.
After a meeting with FBI agents in Los Angeles, the agency permitted Broeksmit to publicly identify himself as a cooperating witness in a federal criminal investigation, the paper reported…
…David Enrich, the Times reporter who wrote the profile, said Tuesday on Twitter that Broeksmit was a central character in his 2020 book, “Dark Towers: Deutsche Bank, Donald Trump, and an Epic Trail of Destruction,” and that news of his death was “terrible.”

Deutsche Bank Offices Raided By Police On Money Laundering Concerns
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/deutsche-bank-offices-searched-authorities-after-bank-reportedly-tips-money-laundering
EXCERPTS
It looks as though Chief Executive Christian Sewing could actually be making an attempt to clean things up at Deutsche Bank, after years of regulatory issues at the bank. In fact, Deutsche Bank headquarters is reportedly being searched at this moment as part of an ongoing money laundering case that it appears the bank tipped off regulators to.
The bank’s offices in Frankfurt are being searched by law enforcement authorities “after the lender flagged potential money laundering,” Bloomberg wrote on Friday morning.
The raid includes officials from the Frankfurt prosecutors office and Germany’s BKA federal police, the report continues. The searches are taking place following the decision by a Frankfurt court, the report says.
Additionally, representatives of financial regulator BaFin were also involved in the search, Reuters reported.
Deutsche Bank said in a statement that the search relates to “reports made by the bank of suspected money laundering” and the bank said it is “cooperation [sic] fully with authorities”. Reuters confirmed that the search was due to a tip from the bank, stating “the search involved suspicious transactions it had itself passed on to authorities”.
“Police officers are present in and around Deutsche Bank’s Frankfurt headquarters”, Bloomberg confirmed Friday morning. However, one witness told Reuters “there was no sign of authorities outside the bank’s headquarters on Friday”…
…Meanwhile, Deutsche has been under the microscope for potential money laundering for years, facing nearly $700 million in fines for trades that authorities said were used to illegally launder money.

Morgan Stanley’s Frankfurt Offices Raided As Part Of Cum-Ex Tax Fraud Probe
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/morgan-stanleys-frankfurt-offices-raided-part-cum-ex-tax-fraud-probe
EXCERPTS
German regulators have been staying busy over the last few weeks.
Just days after we noted that Deutsche Bank offices in Frankfurt were being raided as part of a money laundering probe the bank reportedly tipped regulators off to, it now looks like Morgan Stanley is also dealing with a regulatory raid by German prosecutors.
The Morgan Stanley raid is related to the “rapidly widening” Cum-Ex scandal, which is centered on cross-border tax fraud.
“Authorities are searching a bank and the homes of two suspects in a probe over Cum-Ex and related strategies,” Bloomberg reported Tuesday morning, stating that more than 75 officers were on hand to take part in the raid.
The same report notes that Morgan Stanley confirmed that it had been targeted and said that the investigation relates to a “historic activity” and that the bank is “continuing to cooperate with the German authorities.”
The probe encompasses about 1,500 people from the financial industry and similar raids have been carried out at Barclay’s and Bank of America/Merrill Lynch. Deutsche Bank is also said to face “major repercussions”.
Cum-ex reportedly diverted “at least 10 billion euros” in government revenue by exploiting German tax laws that allowed multiple investors to claim refunds of a tax on dividends that was paid only once, Bloomberg reported.
The practice was abolished in 2012, but the probe continues.

If I may engage in a little fear-mongering by passing on some fear-mongering in the interest of posterity:
Didier Raoult, the doctor who gained world wide renown by generating controversy and ostensibly receiving a lot of grief for championing Hydroxychloroquine to combat Covid
has now been filmed (on April 20th) saying that he’s very worried about epidemics and/or pandemics of deadly louse-transmitted diseases such as typhus arising due to the Ukraine “war” and the expatriation of countless Ukrainians to other countries, as was seen during WW2. He’s urging governments to stock up on two particular types of medecine that escaped ears and comprehension:

Hi Debra. Great to hear from you.
I have mentioned the machine that George Wiseman makes that produces gas from water that I purchased after hearing about it on a Higher Side Chats podcast about a year ago. There wasn’t much response from folks but I thought it might be worth mentioning again in case you haven’t heard of it.
To be honest, I initially thought that there was no way it could be as good as the claims made it out to be so I set about trying to find anything that debunked them. I couldn’t. So I decided to try it for a year and return it for a no questions asked full refund if it didn’t pan out.
Well, the year is over and I’m keeping it.
It’s not cheap. Though I think that you can get a five hundred dollar coupon code from the recent podcast that Freeman Fly did with Wiseman. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-free-zone-w-freeman-fly/id536781652?i=1000556839860
I can’t really diagnose my healing process other than judging by my symptoms and the way I feel generally because I refuse to use the allopathic system.
I am only taking herbs, vitamins and supplements that were recommended/prescribed by my naturopathic doctor.
But based on the fact that I am still able to work full time and take care of all my other responsibilities and the improvement of the obvious symptoms. I am very confident that I am getting better and I attribute it in large part to breathing the Brown’s gas and drinking the water that it was bubbled through.
If you haven’t, I would strongly urge you to research this and learn more about it. Remove the spaces before the word eagle and the dot com in the below link. (Trying to evade the moderation monster)
I wish you the best.

This quotation is from another thread. It gives me the opportunity to reiterate my point.
“ Cu.h.j
“…Making arguments about ideas is a good idea….”
Not always… if the person your you’re discussing ideas with has a goal of causing you harm any idea they bring to the table (even true ones) will be designed to hurt you.”
I know that I don’t write well. I don’t use words well. I suck with punctuation. But does that affect the quality of my thoughts? Is my personhood of lesser worth because the circumstances of my life forced me into work instead of continuing formal education?
If I am told explicitly by someone that they consider themselves to be “my better”, isn’t it a safe assumption that that person would wish to cause me harm? Especially when the same person espouses ideas that would very quickly bring about the end of the human species were they adopted.
Don’t all the eugenics proponents believe that they have been given the right to determine who is who’s “better “? (Or is that whom is who’s better? I dunno)
Isn’t determining the value of another’s life the job of, if not God then that individual themself?
If I have correctly concluded that this person who feels that I am of lesser value than himself because of my life circumstances and has stated that they believe that people should not exist actually does wish me harm. Why would I not also conclude that he feels the same way about a great many others?
Why would I not try to counter that person’s rhetoric in my own clumsy way?
I have never been able to ignore evil when I recognize it. I agree that it doesn’t make sense to repeatedly attempt to engage in polite and civil conversation with those who wish you harm. (Einstein was said to have remarked on the stupidity of repeating one’s mistakes.)
But I also think it is dangerous to ignore them. And I don’t intend to.
I think the way you write is just fine. I am also not a technical writer. Perhaps I am wrong but I do think there is a way to challenge ideas with different ideas.
For example the idea that existence is wrong because of suffering that is a normal part of life even in the best circumstances. I think this is false because it is a denial of nature. Life came about and I suspect that life also exists elsewhere in our universe. I tend to think that nature has a wisdom that cannot be fully understood. Maybe this wisdom is “God” but I can’t prove this.
When people use their ideas to harm others is when there is a problem. For example, how the MSM lies to the public. That is harm. Discussion of ideas to me if that is the intent is not dangerous. What I’m starting to think is that humanity needs to fight back if we are to survive. The psychopaths need to be put in their place, which should be prison or somewhere where they can’t hurt people anymore. This will probably require a significant number of people who are sick of this.
I have been fortunate during my life to be relatively free from suffering to a degree that I would rather not exist. I am glad to exist and live. I have had food, shelter, friends, and relatively good health and I am glad to wake up in the morning.
I realize that not everyone has been as fortunate as myself and perhaps this is not fair. I can understand why a person would be bitter if their existence was more suffering than joy even if this is subjective. But to make the claim that existence in general is wrong because it entails suffering is a narrow point of view. This may be the case in some situations, but not everyone’s situation.
Also, if someone refers to themselves as “better” I would try not to pay attention to it since it’s false. Someone may be a “better” writer or whatever or have knowledge that another person doesn’t have but it doesn’t make them better in a general sense. Perhaps a more skilled writer, but not better. English and literature and analytical writing is not my strong point and neither is philosophy, but I don’t think anyone on here is my “better.” It’s not a precise word to use and comes off as an insult and weakens the persons position IMO.
