A THOUGHT (the source? hello somebody?) drop this thought (a msg?) on a thought-form (that’s me)
*** Self-Reflection from NOTHINGNESS is ultimately a mechanism of creating the illusion of “I am what I believe” and “I believe because I want to believe”. ***
*** Self-Reflection (aka I am) from NOTHINGNESS (aka the void) is ultimately a mechanism of creating the illusion of “I am what I believe (aka a narrative)” and “I believe because I want to believe (aka ego)”. ***
*** (I am) from (The Void) is ultimately a mechanism of creating the illusion of “(a narrative)” and “(an ego)” ***
That’s you me them the unknown – 4 species of Star of This Creation of ‘Reality Show’!
That’s all folks!
That is ALL there is to ALL ‘REALITY’… sad or funny?!
“The man who never alters his opinions is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind.” Blake.
If you substitute “beliefs” for opinions, you have, in a nutshell, the same truth. One’s beliefs cannot be static, though for many remain fixed to the point that they become angry if they feel challenged/threatened and are prepared to fight and even kill for them. Life however, is dynamic, and every single experience, even the banal and mundane, adds to the Soul’s ledger of experiences and transforms the individual as a centre or conduit of love. When we begin to put love first, we find it to be a fragile thing, easily lost. When we learn the secret of love; one gets love by giving it, life becomes transformed.
We then realise that the subjective self needs to be controlled and our efforts should go there. When one begins to control his subjective self, and act out of love or charity toward all of life, he/she begins to experience a different reality. One might say that one has “drunk of the waters of life”. He or she may have experiences of a deeper nature that amount to knowing. Knowing is beyond mere belief, but can neither be defended, nor proven, only demonstrated.
‘sad or funny?!’ Funny and sad enough, as in the lands of the garb of goodness anger lies submerged, indignation, rising from the depths in defense of the realty of what I am, my only own I am, fooled in the madness of a vein phantom, forgotten and left behind. So sad, so funny !
Was it Funny, Was it Sad ?
by ioan
I don’t feel bad, I don’t feel good
I do not laugh, I do not cry
Like clown who makes a parody
about the things in sky
And, taking from my pocket,
instead of fatty wallet,
the garlic and a slice of pie,
some salt, a gun and bullets.
Where’s the poison ?
Ah !…the water!
Not for free, with reason,
Water of Life, embedded in Death ?
Shaking the living
shaking the deaths
Here, take some garlic,
a slice of pie with honey,
Or, take the gun, sounds funny
But don’t forget the salt
when you look at vault
Don’t remember? That’s your bad
was it funny, was it sad ?
Another very good poem ioan, You remind me of my inner self.

Take care!
at times funny, at times sad
sugar or honey, perhaps a tad
bitter or sweet, drink it down
two left feet? wipe off that frown
join the dance, enter the fray
the night is young, so is the day
humility tastes salty like tears;
and freedom awaits after all those years

There IS before thinking, which is only a reverberation of that which IS is structured; two miracles which are , but cannot be explained.
If there IS and it IS, there is no NOTHING on the same plane and NEVER was because that which IS is so outside of time by necessity unless it’s not the first one, in which case we move to that first one which by necessity is ONE in it’s essence.
How do we measure ? Why can we measure at all ? Upon what is it resting that first metronome – that first measure ?????
But here it IS without a doubt and without a thought !
@HDan
This discussion has been going on for ages and it totally warrants a good and deep thinking…
as oppose to the current ‘legislated’ version of education ‘how to be a good slave’…
—> Anyhow I need to ask if you are religious by any chance?
I am most happy to further the discussion but I dont want to touch any nerves or disturb your peace, your sense of reality and your constructed ‘world’.
The deconstructionist approach, which probably will come in to play, will be brutal, most of the time bloody painful.
Most are not willing. I respect that :)
I did it to myself and I ended in NOTHINGNESS as a Nothing, not even a holographic shadow.
And I can prove to you you have no freewill too. ZERO!
So let me know, if you have some time, and we can probably continue in the new cafe just out :)
Pls do be well
@? Yes let’s take it this investigation further between us two, deconstruct as brutal as you can !
First: Yes I am religious in the sense that there is a first creator or generator, something different from nothing which effected this world into being.
Of course from your post it is impossible for me to deduce your starting point(s), I see it as kind of poetic allegory.
But now to the case itself:
You arrive at the conclusion that there is zero free will – which I can follow to a point and acknowledge. I cannot know whether I have a free will, I rather believe it based on my (necess. very limited) experience.
If I have no free will, it makes only sense when we leave time behind and move to the plane where it is merely a dimension of the whole ‘object’ – placing oneself outside the physical universe we experience. On this plane – based on the assumption the object runs for infinite time (this includes the possibility of either parallelisms or infinite sequencing with state transfer (via any kind of processing algorithm) into the next sequence), then indeed ‘free will’ of the sub-objects within go towards zero over time.
I have no problem at all with this – I am part of an unfolding process anyway – the freedom I experience within then is akin the performance of a musician in an orchestra which plays from script and improvisation which we know works perfectly well if the craftsmanship is developed to certain levels.
The fact that I ulitmatly have no free will in no way limits my experience. On the other hand if I had complete and total free will, then obviously I would be the only one in town or more precise the void – a very frightening thought for me, I would need to be GOD for which I feel very, very much ill equipped, Sartre experienced the same.
But anyway in both cases there is nowhere any nothingness in sight – sitting in a cage – or drifting in an endless void is basically the same but it is not nothingness.
Nothingness precludes (falsifies it a priori !) this conversation, any meaning, any reasoning and of course any form of existence.
At the end one has to decide what meaning one can put into that which is (including outside, inside) basically a belief towards a fullfillment coupled with the ecstacy of the becoming OR on the other side, nihilism – no meaning, no sense at all.
Obviously, I prefer the first one.
The point is not whether one believes – because finally nothing can really be proven – but instead what to believe.
Just some sidenotes (which from my pov shouldn’t be the subject of our further investigation) to highlight some connections to the real:
The Western audience has been f..k..ed over so hard, that they for the most part are nihilists – a perfect starting ground – to create Beasts and Monsters, insatiable in their desires and their rage against anything that is.
The religious are hated because the puppet masters screwed religion up so hard, all the while themselves being ardent believers of Satan (which the audience cannot see, must not see, even in plain sight), really a great pas de deux ! If it weren’t so sad, one could really, really laugh at it !!!
But times are changing fast the truth cannot be hidden forever to much is still in place, the Vedas are inscribed into the russian language and cannot be purged unless the Russians are purged, bad luck I suppose !
Russia is the key !
A 2-hour long documentary about the new Silk Road in two parts. The documentary makers followed parts of the road and parts of the belt.
First part is from China to Pakistan
Second part is from Kyrgyzstan to Duisburg
I liked the detail of it, but there is this underlying tone of China fear, so, it sometimes feels like propaganda. Instead of pointing out things like modernization of say an area as simply that, they question China and what China is doing and there is this underlying blame. The second part is better regarding this aspect.
Nevertheless, very interesting and such a massive initiative.

An article on the inaccuracy of breath testing machines in drunk driving cases.
https://www.zerohedge.com/health/drunk-driving-and-fake-science
This is just the tip of the iceberg. There is a similar pseudoscience in drug testing. In the last few years before I retired from the practice of law, I handled appeals of people “convicted” for driving while on drugs or alcohol. There existed a presumption of guilt throughout the system. Pseudoscience was used to legitimate convictions – even as to people who were just tired due to lack of sleep and showed no signs of intoxication. It was frightening to see just how vulnerable the average citizen was to an unjust conviction.
In Australia as far as I know. The breath test is only an indicator and must be validated by a blood test to be admissible in court. Correct me if I am wrong? Lab blood alcohol analysis is not pseudoscience.
In the United States they rely on Breath Tests alone.
Even worse (in the absence of breath tests) they rely upon the opinions of police officers.
Drunk Driving prosecutions are often kangaroo courts.
That is so wrong. Breath tests are not reliable at all.

Paul I love you man!!! Thanks for showing me all those Russian girls! Love it! Worth all the 48min!
Just as they have no idea (still) what is SCO about,
they are not getting what BRI is really about – it truest potency!
They still think the world (must) runs according to their western idiot-logy and humanity must be bound by the western accounting system, the western tax law, and the western idea of “money”.
Maybe some of you in USSA, if you have dim view of the western future, should also learn from all those young guns of Russia in the documentary. Maybe just maybe.
There was a time chinese went everywhere – first to survive, then to do business, and to lay down roots.
The other option is – dead man don’t talk back.
The entire USSA culture is plunging into the silent pages of history. In less than 50yr after the ‘Reset’, it could well be the dark past nobody want to be associated to, so nobody talk about it. And soon, they will get what they did to other cultural heritage that they attempt to silent and eradicate, they will be forgotten.
Anyhow, just my unfounded imagination.
But I still love my russian babies :)
p/s Culture is the most powerful weapon on earth. USSA was glorious not because of the tech or money but of its culture and the lives the ppl lived back then. Confucianism, in its thuosand year unbroken lineage, again proves that! Thats why the dumb boys are fated to be ‘forgotten’.
Pls do be safe there, you, your family and your cultural group
Thanks Paul. The doc/vid was impressive in giving an on the ground view of Russia- China econ cooperation that bypasses the Western “Deep State” hegemonic approach to such. Yeah, the ladies were attractive too! When, not if, the deep state is taken down, humanity can progress to a situation where we are not threatened with destruction for simply wanting to experience some joy as a human. I can dream. I can hope. No dream; no hope;? All is lost. Most on this site are not lost.
steve
Agree Steve, America to me represents the deep state and shadow government, which I believe is rotten to the core. We are on this planet to live a human experience. However China and Russia I believe are competing for their flavor of the New World Order and there is also a dark side to both.
Yes, Mike, The NWO/DS is global. It’s not a “country” but a thin layer of control in the main facets of human endeavor. The “rules” only apply to those not at the “top”. I believe it was Voltaire who said “To learn who rules over you, simply see who you are not allowed to criticize”. Our visible rulers are funded and controlled by those we are seldom allowed to see yet alone criticize.

Paul
Thank you for posting this…what a fascinating video…can’t wait to view the followup episodes.
Ahhh!…peace, harmony and mercantile cooperation between superpowers…something the Hegemon simply can’t stomach. Bring it on!

ABC news killed a story connecting Epstein to the Clintons. They have an ABC news anchor on tape saying quote – unquote, “We had everything.”
https://www.rt.com/usa/472660-epstein-abc-coverup-exposed-veritas/
I think what is happening here is if one gets dirt (illegal or suspicious activity), on the gvt, then the gvt goes over your files and if not squeaky clean (and whos is), you get prosecuted first and by the time you get out of jail you’ve had enough time to rethink your case and quit trying or head over seas and throw a couple fake news bombs.
I cant recall to many who have won a case against the gvt especially when it comes to fraud or even irresponsibility to any degree. This seems to be the pattern of choice when it comes to gvt officials as far as I can tell.
ABC is really in a jam here. They have been caught in a cover up. Probably the rest of the corporate media will downplay it. But the information is still out there and enough people now know about it.
Today, ABC said that they had been planning a news series on Epstein and will continue going ahead with it. My guess is that what actually happened was this. Once ABC got caught in the cover up, they tried to make it look like they were just taking their time doing “good journalism.” They were not “hiding” anything, just doing thorough journalism. When that “series” finally comes out, it’ll just be a whitewash. “Epstein was a pedophile,” “he got caught and committed suicide,” “there is no hard proof of him having a connection with intelligence agencies,” “allegations that he had dirt of prominent figures is nothing more than the fantasies of ‘conspiracy theorists” and so on.
In short, a classic “limited hang out.”
Had to give up on ABC once Koppel retired and Jenner passed, I found I had no more clout and then the democrats filled the vacuum and brought home to roost the repetitive insanity narrative, I just couldn’t take it anymore, sold my stock and wrote off the losses.
According to this article, the person who leaked the tapes had once worked for ABC. That is apparently how they got the tape. That person later moved to CBS. After the tape became public, ABC informed CBS of the identity of the leaker was “as a matter of courtesy.” CBS, in turn, just fired the whistleblower.
If this is all true, it means that ABC and CBS care more about protecting pedophiles than reporting news.

Funny it was to watch the reports of the suppression of Ronan Farrow’s work on Harvey Weinstein, and the suppression of the ABC investigation of the Epstein scandal and see that the bosses suppressing the journalism were all Jewish human beings, no doubt acting from that grand old group defence tendency known so well from history. Oddly enough, no presstitute noticed, or dared say so.
Cultural alert From Looneylandia: It is about to get crazier re the Mormons slaughtered by drug gang (?) in Mexico.
Supposedly the women were raped (?) big probable exaggeration on that. It sounds more like how Mozgovoi was taken out only less professionally done.
And, oh, it might have been mistaken identity? What does that mean—that they really meant to kill a convoy of Mexican women instead? ( Not that Mexican women would ever be driving alone without male support and protection in that area).
The question now is if the Mormon church with all its tentacles into the INS, US military, and government bureaucracy ( the last ambassador to Russia was Mormon) will let what is a dissident sect of Mormons hang out to dry . And will these dual citizen Mormons in Mexico arm themselves and fight back? The Mexican government has frowned on that and actually come into a town to disarm citizens fighting drug gangs.
Yep…legal gangs and illegal gangs in a failed state on our border. And, it is the venal ruling upper class of Mexico and not US bombing etc. etc. that did that to its own nation and people.
Oh this has the potential to get very, very messy. Let’s see how the bleeding heart Red Guard liberals who so love MS-13 come down on this issue. Those with White skin privilege deserve to die? hmmmm.
Culture wars in America. I have a friend who offered to stand with me holding a sign on Veterans Day.. Hers will be less political : .It’s OK to be Green. I was laughing as I told her –” As long as you don’t use the now-banned meme of the hand sign for OK but maybe on the other hand you should do so.
geopolitic? — or globalization . . .
What is the BRI?—is it the swashbuckling stride of the imperial stormtroopers of trade and infrastructure development, throughout a post-colonial wasteland, or just a freshened take on the tawdry globo-banker rapine. Maybe, it is more than all of this, and it is the fruition of a half-century of venture capital stage-setting and disinhibitioning of the now ripening planet, of a planet hungry to bite the shiniest hook.
It seems often overlooked that China is not simply filling an imperialist vacuum, but is pumping this conceptual void to the brim with its little red faced buddha-belly-dolls (this is an attempt at an euphemism for something to do with a philosophical system). So how is it that the collective, not-China world, of under-developers is so ready to suck eggrolls rather than yankee-eggs? Who is responsible for this highwater mark of universal Chinese trustworthiness, and the prevailing unquestionable prestige they enjoy if not the Westerly colonialists, by default. But, strange to think, this growth, a cosmic metamorphosis of planetary dimensions, really, has occurred under the eye of the West, and hand. The West divested, and re-invested, and invests! Yes, the BRI is as funded by the global bankers and their lackeys as any world-shaking project of anytime.
China is the newface of global conquest, repackaged and re-branded for broader consumptions.
There is a massive difference between Hegemony or Imperialism that wants to own the world and is a hold-over of colonialism with all its ills, and Development. China has filled this niche before, long before any of us were born. They did not go out for conquest of lands then, and they are not into conquest of lands today. They are certainly not developing and exporting ‘democracy’, but rather strengthening and positioning other countries to grow. But, they cut a hard bargain and the countries that they work with have to perform. If not, China takes the infrastructure and will manage it themselves until the other country builds capacity. They are not Santa Claus at all.
Of course they’re not, but everywhere you can see Santa Claus clothes made in China…
But who grows the cotton? :-)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7wlmByH70g
The stated goal is one world economy; presently, this goal is being pushed to a foreseeable fruition by a milliard santa’s elves. Ten years ago this present reality was an agenda item, now it belongs to the “deal with it” category of bend or break.
I think it is not one world economy, but more multi-lateral, in other words, it is not ‘beggar they neighbor’ strategy. Rather, if the neighbor grows the cotton, and the next neighbor does textiles, to use the strengths of both to make those Santa Claus clothes. And goods move without taxation across borders.
Sour Grapes are Sour Grapes whether they dress themselves as a cat…..a mouth…..or Dennis O’Leary.
Inside joke, Puss.
Just as opinions should not remain the same, as Dimitar points out……neither should the economic platforms from which humanity exists.
Eurasia has a right to develop and it will!
You have a right to be left in the dust, if that’s your choice.
Let’s see what Africa and South America decide re: BRI offers of first class infrastructure.
For once they will have a choice!
Bro, thier decission may not be what one might expect, a betting man says with first class infrastructure comes first class debt and all the malades and trappings of a first class world. Not that I would denie them or anyone else thier God given right to live in a first class material world. The grass may look greener, but it all needs to be mowed just the same.
@Bro 93
I don’t know whether there is a rascist hierarchy in chinese culture, what I know for certain is that the chosen ones definitely have one, brown and black people are placed at the very bottom – thus the Agenda 21 of the UN to make ressource extraction in Africa as risk free as possible, naturally, unnecessary personel for it’s extraction, processing and shipping should not be there at all – simple risk statistics and economics. We know these people think thoroughly, don’t we ?
Already in the seventies we were thaught how the black people there reproduce at fantastic rates, yet 40 years later Africa is still a sparsely populated continent less then half of Europe BUT a fantastic cocktail of raw materials and fertile soils second to none, and a non existing ecologic footprint (when compared to the US or Europe) – even their oil consumption is a joke…BUT of course AFRICA is the problem, one hears at every corner here in the West, grim faces all around on that topic….
here I am at seventy-eight;
morning coffee, I’m never late
dressed in my best,
forget about the rest
the world is at peace
for a moment at least…
forgotten to take down my hat
forgotten even my glasses
that’s right, just look at my head
it’s time to shake up your asses
…cause, time is the game
whom else to blame ?
Salt*
Bitter on my tongue, sour the taste;
The hand once dealt, gone to waste.
But sweet, the gain of time’s defeat,
And tender the rest for overtired feet.
The salt of the earth and the salt of the sea,
Is the taste on my tongue and the taste on my knees.
The salt I have left is the salt I will give,
To love as you love and live as you live.
The taste of humility, the taste of tears,
The nectar of Soul and the fruit of years;
All the provision you need ever make –
When there’s nothing to seek, there’s nothing to stake!
Sour on my tongue, bitter the taste;
The hand once dealt, gone to waste.
But sweet the gain as time departs
And tender the rest for weary hearts.
The salt of the earth and the salt of the sea,
Is the taste on my tongue and the taste on my knees.
The salt I have left is the salt I will give,
To love as you love and live as you live.

How's Trump's Trade War? Is he winning?
Bacon Levels In US Cold Storage Surge To 48-Year High
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/bacon-levels-us-cold-storage-surge-48-year-high
Cold storage facilities across the US have just hit record-high levels of pork bellies, the cut of the pig used to make bacon, reported Bloomberg.
Much of the oversupply problem stems from farmers' increasing herd sizes ahead of a possible trade deal that was expected to occur earlier this year.
Farmers across Central and Midwest regions were desperately trying to increase herd sizes and or fields planted of corn and soybean because President Trump kept touting imminent trade deal in the press.
What the farmers didn't realize is that there was no trade deal at the time, and the impending trade deal comments were only to boost the stock market. What this created was massive misguidance by the government that has led to shocking oversupplied conditions.
According to new US government data published last week, there are more than 40 million pounds of pork bellies in cold storage facilities across the US. Hog producers, listening to every trade headlines from the Trump administration, quickly expanded herds through spring and summer with the anticipation of an imminent trade deal with China. US herd levels rose to 7.7 million heads as of Sept. 1, a level not seen since 1943.
US tech companies to lose $40 billion as China’s Huawei takes its business to Europe.
https://www.rt.com/business/472643-huawei-europe-us-ban/
In an interview with AFP, Huawei explained that the decision was a direct result of Washington banning American companies from selling technology to the group.
According to Huawei, there will be consequences for American companies such as Qualcomm, Intel, Micron, and Google.
Huawei usually spends over $10 billion a year on semiconductors, spare parts, and services for its smartphones and network equipment.
The company is increasing its procurement in China, Japan, and Europe to make sure its production chains remain unbroken, said Ernest Lin Zhang, president of enterprise activities for Western Europe at Huawei. He added the US ban has little impact on 5G-equipment supplies, while Huawei “no longer has any American product.”
In mid-October the company reported that it had supplied over 400,000 5G antennas worldwide to about 60 clients, more than half of them in Europe.

It is funny that that melanoma gets pinned on sun exposure, when it seems likely that that electromagnetic fields play a role.
This is somewhat circumstantial, but I got it years back spending hours working on electronic music and playing theremin. I know of a college acquaintance who had melanoma after working a summer on bumper cars at an amusement park. I am not an epidemiologist, but Sam Milham is. Btw, the epidemiologist that fingered tobacco but gave microwaves a clean bill of health, got knighted by the Queen.
And Huawei, ZTE et al will ensure that they produce their own micro-chips and operating systems so that future European treachery, on orders from the USA, doesn’t catch them out. Notice, too, how African Swine Fever has NOT afflicted the USA, the country that deliberately infected Cuba with the disease in 1971.
I have heard the Huawei issue is really a technology spy war. Israel’s Intel, produce CPU’s containing a secret embedded CPU running on Linux which operates as a back door to Israel. It can’t be turned off. The latest Huawei mobile phone does not have Israeli embedded spyware, which is why Google has withdrawn support. I assume China deploys their brand of embedded spy chips so you now have a choice. It would be nice if Countries simply mind their own business and work on improving living conditions and life style for its citizens. What a complicated world we live in.

There are more people in Bangladesh than in Russia.
But with breakthroughs in space science…a colony on the moon…..Mars…once 1g constant acceleration gets scientists there ….in 2 weeks..in simulated earth gravity en route……instead of health destroying months in transit to and from.in ..no gravity…no acceleration (chemical propulsion is “so yesterday’s tech”……)….the Far East of Russia …and even the north……will be far more habitable…. once that New Economic Platform for Mankind…that I was telling Sourpuss about….is accomplished fact.
Then you just need a general living standard whereby people can hop on those 300 mph BRI trains and take more time off in Syria, Turkey, Spain, etc a bit more often.
But I don’t know. I saw some crazy Alaskan lady that maintained a warehouse with a forklift at an airstrip in the far north….solo. Just her and her dogs and the radio. And an occasional bush pilot visitor for an hour or so. When she got her time off she did NOT fly to California or Mexico.
Oh no. Her idea of a vacation was to pack her dog sled and head into the bush for 10 days of camping and hunting. And get away from that damned radio…and the people bothering her over its speaker.
Sue’s been doing it for years, one hardy woman, ex soldier I think. Looks like she picked up a small cabin in the woods not to far from the ‘strip’ and I believe that’s where she vacations. Mind you, what’s not scripted these days? Except the cold, thats real. Life Below Zero dipicts life in a place where the only main concren anyone has is staying alive and collecting material things like meat on the hoof and wood for the fire. I like the indiginous part where they way of the elders are passed to the children. Worth a watch if you have some down time.

Keeping warm has become less of a problem as the high latitudes have warmed so much more than the rest of the planet, as predicted in the 1890s by Arrhenius. They had a genuine heat-wave in Alaska this year.
apparently no one saw this coincidence
a coincidence? Apparently Chemist and nobel price winner Svante Arrhenius (1850 -1927)( son of Svante Gustav and Carolina Thunberg Arrhenius) was one of the first ones to mention rising earth temperatures due to Co2
Thunberg ? !
It’s been mentioned here. So what? Hereditary devotion to the science and the facts, that’s all.
Keeping warm, less of a problem……………you live there, or you got that info from a scientist in Florida? And heat waves do happen, just like ice storms, and cold weather in the southern midlands with snow and ice covered crops………….even here north of the 49th, in the warmth of mid autum, the farmers are on the fields harvesting crops with two inches of snow on the ground. And for heavens sake, grab a map dude, Alaska is a shit speck compared to the rest of the Northern Hemisphere, really, an Alaskan heat wave is the hairbringer of a warming planet? btw, how long is a genuine heat wave? We got our heat wave in September, it lasted all of three days!
There were heatwaves in Europe, too, with record temperatures aplenty. And last summer here in Austfailia, record heat, across the continent. And, globally, which is what matters, July was the hottest month ever recorded, and September and July the hottest such months ever recorded. And the last five years were the hottest five years ever recorded.
Alaskan ladies will have trouble getting away from it all, safely, as the permafrost and glaciers rapidly melt, with outburst floods from melting glaciers a particular threat. Might meet up with some thawed corpse riddled with anthrax, like the unfortunates in Siberia, or a methane explosion from thawing organic matter.
Not to worry – nobody lives permanently in the high latitudes there and it is ‘settled science’ from Nasa Earth Observatory that certain areas during the Maunder Minimum showed warming. This includes and I quote:
“Nearly all other land areas were also cooler in 1680, as indicated by the varying shades of blue. The few regions that appear to have been warmer in 1680 are Alaska and the eastern Pacific Ocean (left), the North Atlantic Ocean south of Greenland (left of center), and north of Iceland (top center).

“predicted in the 1890s by Arrhenius”
Now we need to believe predictions from the 1890’s and not take cognizance of any new science?. There are even new icecore studies.
Truly, take a look at new science and not predictions from the 1800’s. Gosh, from then to now we’ve discovered DNA, RNA, mapped the genome, we’re going to space, we have satellites, and the researchers that go to those high latitudes usually go in some kind of ‘flying vehicle’, like bushplanes, helicopters and such. We have advanced Mulga.
In the 1890’s we had the first gas powered vehicles stumbling forward a few yards, and also The Great Blizzard, in the US. 1899’s Great Blizzard affected the South more than the North, -61º F in Montana and -47º F in Nebraska. Washington D.C. had over twenty inches of snow falling, with New Jersey reaching an astonishing thirty-four inches. New Orleans was iced over, as were parts of the Mississippi River.
Jeez, predictions from the 1890´s – I shake my head.
The predictions start, really, from the discovery of the greenhouse effect by Foote, Tyndall and Fourier from the 1840s. The science has advanced, and only reinforced and validated the original findings, and, in no way, refuted them. But those scientists no doubt never thought that the fossil fuel industry and Rightwing ideological fanatics would finance a movement to deny and refute science, in the interests of profit, and thereby utterly betray the Enlightenment and the scientific revolution.
So, from that I gather that you reject Einstein’s theorems from 1905, his so-called annus mirabilis when he publish four papers that revolutionised our understanding on the photo-electric effect, Brownian motion, special relativity and mass-energy equivalence. So long ago.
Phil,they claim 11,000 scientists signed that thing but forgot to check their list.
11,000 scientists yes:
1500 PhDs, 2 pensioners? 974 students, 26 BScience, 740 postdoc, 40 teachers, 60 curators, 40 compSci, 268 engineers, 300 lecturers, 600 doctors, 1400 “researchers”, 75 psychologist’s, 29 CEOs?,
** 6 climate scientests, 1 IPCC author.
Scroll through – there are Pensioners, Not Applicable, Sales Assistants, etc.

Here is where they asked for signatures and the lists are not available – you can click for the lists of names – not there.

Also, they ‘partially’ disclose their donors – and The Worthy Garden Club partially supported them. Click on that, and you go to a blockchain site.
And check their list of work, and it is only the various warnings through the years. There has been many.
Make of it what you will. I think they are creating a ‘headline’ without substance as the story about 97% of all scientists .. (uhm, no change that, all publishing scientists, uhm, no change that, all climate scientists and so it goes on with changes in the previous ‘headline), well, the story of 97% of all scientists is now absolutely debunked.
This will be an interesting ‘headline creation’ to follow. This morning early in the UK, Australia followed with their papers making this headline public, and now even Bloomberg — same headline, basically the same article – spreading around the world .. all the presstitudes and msm hungrily lapping up this headline.
We’re seeing a ‘thing’ here – its probably because Trump just formally gave the notices to withdraw from the Paris agreement.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/formal-u-s-withdrawal-from-paris-climate-agreement-looms/
All I said was that the 11,000 scientists’ opinions are backed by the science, the observations from reality and every single Academy of Science and scientific society on Earth and 99% of actively researching and publishing climate scientists. Now why would such an observation be deemed unacceptable?
Actually, Mulga, they are not scientists, they are psychotists, using scientific fraud. CO2 causes global cooling. That is a fact. Volcanic winters have resulted from volcanoes releasing CO2. CO2 is a coolant. The fraudsters proclaim that the volcanic winters were caused not by CO2, but by sulfuric ash, which results in global warming, as proof of my theory, see what happens when you strike a match made of sulfer and witness the exothermic reaction, and see what happens to the temperature in a small space if you place a block of solid CO2 in it, also known as dry ice, but, i do support renewable energy, but oppose the Paris Accord, and would like small DC renewable energy plants owned by the neighborhoods.
Andrea, unfortunately just about everything you say is incorrect. That CO2 traps heat in the atmosphere is very basic science. Volcanic winters resulted from the injection of sulphates into the stratosphere, causing global dimming, by reflecting solar energy back into space. CO2 has no role in it. May I ask, Andrea, why you believe that your ‘theory’ is correct, and climate science, the work of 200 years and tens of thousands of scientists, is incorrect?
Population decrease is absolutely essential, but as the scientists stated it must be humane, therefore gradual, which can be achieved through female education and emancipation, poverty eradication and freely available contraception. The alternative, seemingly favoured by anthropogenic climate destabilisation denialists, is a rapid and horrific Malthusian collapse as the planet’s life-sustaining biospheres fall apart.
“Population decrease is absolutely essential, but as the scientists stated it must be humane,”
Y’all happy to have a scientist saying who lives and who dies, who may have a child and who not? Humanely those decisions will be made for you, of course. Let’s ’emancipate’ the women by educating them when to have babies and when not. Let’s directly interfere in the natural process of mating of humans and multiplying, which is a religious tenet. (OK there are reasons for that).
China now is deeply regretting their one child policy because they skewed their population to a terrible degree.
Can you see where this goes to? This is why these nutty climate activists never speak about the peace, because they are content to have people killed by war. (Humanely of course).
Sickening, I tell you.
The growth of world population is already decreasing and estimated to reach a peak and thereafter decline. Of course the fastest growing areas are still the poor countries, so just guess where the ‘humane reductions of human populations will take place. / start sarc ..Those damn brown people! / end sarc
These poorer people still live on the average 7 years less than the global average
Take a look – at least the UN can count. That is one thing they do well.
https://www.un.org/development/desa/en/news/population/world-population-prospects-2019.html
This clear meddling in human populations by bureaucrats and so-called scientists sickens me. The clear pushing of extinction rebellion talking points here sickens me more. The breakdown of the human touchpoint with its creator is troubling in the extreme.
I wonder why I bother. But you, naturally, deliberately misrepresent what I said, in the Most flagrant manner, as is typical of denialists (please keep comments civil. Mod.) As I actually said, population reduction Must be gradual, but not too gradual, and humane. The alternative, as I have mentioned often here, is a Malthusian collapse as rapid anthropogenic climate destabilisation and the other facets of the ecological Holocaust cause a sudden and horrific Malthusian collapse, as agriculture fails, and weather and climate disasters befall us all. No doubt exacerbated by war and terror, mass migration and the spread of diseases.
You’re just projecting. By ‘humane’ I mean humane, ie made easy and beneficial. Why you are outraged by female education baffles me. It won’t be scientists determining how many children a woman has, but her and her partner, family and community. By humane I plainly mean making sure that children survive and that families can nurture them well, ie the usual methods. It’s far better than the Malthusian end that will occur if the denialists continue to prevail.
So what do you think an ideal human population would be? One billion, two or ten? The more the merrier?
Well, while citizens of Canada thought they were democratically electing a government to provide us with a platform for the future of Canada, it turns out that a bunch of top CEO’s did it for us. From the Business Council of Canada:
https://twitter.com/BizCouncilofCan/status/1189983375731384320
I guess they were too busy with this to, like, officially start a political party and run for office. Why do that when you can just construct an alternative governance structure quietly behind the scenes and just lobby it into fruition??
Heil! (no offense intended to the German Sakerites)
To my prior comment about Canada’s CEOs deciding how Canada should be governed: in like manner, I suppose the people of Canada could decide how these corporations should be governed. Oh wait, but that ist verboten. I mean, not competitive, anti-prosperity…
OK, so why would this make the Canadian news? Theories, anyone?

On the Finnish media and political landscape.
He says he greeted the motorcades of both Putin and Trump when they met briefly in Helsinki with large signs that made the Alt Media News.in the US…or so he claims.
Interesting that more than half his subscribers seem to be Americans….who call him “patriot”….admire his attractive Russian fiancé….and want to learn Finnish words.
So far so good. I’ll try to meet up with him again….and learn more about him and his soon to be wife.

Reply to your /moveable-feast-cafe-2019-10-29/#comment-715471 which was a response to a query about “Have you found those sources for an expected very cold north hemisphere this winter we talked about in the last cafe?”
“Farmers Almanac (don’t laugh at me, I am a farmer) predicting cold cold cold – “Our extended forecast is calling for yet another freezing, frigid, and frosty winter for two-thirds of the country,” shares Editor Peter Geiger, Philom.”
https://www.farmersalmanac.com/extended-forecast
This is sales page, an advert, to entice people to buy the book. They also say there:
“The biggest drop—with the most freefalling, frigid temperatures—is forecasted to take hold from the northern Plains into the Great Lakes.
The Northeast, including the densely populated corridor running from Washington to Boston, will experience colder-than-normal temperatures for much of the upcoming winter.
Only the western third of the country will see near-normal winter temperatures, which means fewer shivers for them. Find out how cold it will be where you live!”
But on this page:
https://www.almanac.com/old-farmers-almanac-2020-winter-forecast
“In the U.S., prepare to shiver with below-normal winter temperatures from the Heartland westward to the Pacific and in the Desert Southwest, Pacific Southwest, and Hawaii but above normal winter temperatures elsewhere. The cold will continue through Valentine’s Day—providing the perfect excuse to stay indoors and snuggle! But be warned: Winter will not be over yet!
For some parts of the country, frigid and frosty conditions will last well into spring, bringing little relief to the winter-weary. “This could feel like the never-ending winter, particularly in the Midwest and east to the Ohio Valley and Appalachians, where wintery weather will last well into March and even through the first days of spring,” says Almanac editor Janice Stillman.
As winter melts into spring, temperatures will warm up in Alaska and the eastern two-thirds of the Lower 48. A searing summer will bring “scorching” temperatures to the High Plains; “sizzle and drizzle” from the middle of the country eastward to the coast; and “wicked hot” weather to the Northeast.
In Canada, temperatures will average above normal everywhere except southern British Columbia which will bear the brunt of winter’s chill, with colder-than-average temperatures that include occasional face-freezing frigidity in January and February. Of course, normal-or-better winter temperatures still means cold. It’s winter, after all!”
Very different forecast.
A quick web search of my own brought up this, along with the almanac link above:
Winter Outlook: Warmer than average for many, wetter in the North
https://www.noaa.gov/media-release/winter-outlook-warmer-than-average-for-many-wetter-in-north
“The 2019-20 U.S. Winter Outlook | December through February
Temperature
The greatest likelihood for warmer-than-normal conditions are in Alaska and Hawaii, with more modest probabilities for above-average temperatures spanning large parts of the remaining lower 48 from the West across the South and up the eastern seaboard.
The Northern Plains, Upper Mississippi Valley, and the western Great Lakes have equal chances for below-, near- or above-average temperatures.
No part of the U.S. is favored to have below-average temperatures this winter.”
You listed several links before the almanac one, characterizing them as:
“(These guys play with words – read them carefully – they’ll word-salad all around the issue)”
“(Electroverse should be read with caution as they are ‘pole shift’ adherents)”
“(I’m not sure on their time scale there and still trying to figure it out to verify their data – they’ve been around for a long time)”
If the site is untrustworthy, why bother with them? I didn’t bother looking at those ones. I may check the info you listed after the almanac site at a later time, but probably not, given what you posted before it.
vot tak, it is so crazy in this climate change narrative, that nothing can clearly be trusted, excepting actuals, but even the actuals get rewritten in the climate records. Forecasts are only accurate 3 days in advance, loses more accuracy 5 days, and then loses more. My comments were more to tell you ‘which side of the fence’ the various sites are – I usually look no more than 3 months in advance and then I don’t trust what I see. I look at monthly actuals from climate4you.com
Noaa is specifically involved in climate data falsification, yet, for 3 day hurricane forecasts, they are about the best one can get. Yet, with all the hurricane models, they will also tell you that the end forecast comes to the skill of the individual hurricane specialist.
These guys (although I don’t agree with them on their pole shift stance and neither do I agree with them on their poolitics), collect actuals. So, it is easy to reason if there is record snow and record cold temperatures over most of the US, that there will be record low temperatures. So, they write about it, the facts are there, but obscured because of their political stance.
https://electroverse.net/in-the-last-30-days-the-u-s-set-7112-new-all-time-low-temperature-records-vs-just-the-1605-max/
It is not fashionable to talk about cold these days, because of the global warming narrative. So, it is very hard to find a reliable message and narrative, but reliable data can be found. So, one has to split mostly the message from the data and kinda learn to read that cold is actually the ‘new hot’.
There is a whole lot of obfuscation and falsification going on – either in the narrative, or in the data.
In this article linked below, William Engdahl provides a very good overview of the changes in solar activity called the Grand Solar Minimum or the quiet sun. The effects of this reoccurring cycle include extreme weather and climate change which has many severe impacts including diminished global food production.
Excerpt
If astrophysicists’ predictions are accurate, and we soon will know, we are in for a long series of extreme weather events and climate changes globally over the coming decades until perhaps 2055, owing to the onset of what is being called a new Grand Solar Minimum beginning around 2020, the conjuncture of an 11-year series of declines in sunspot numbers with longer wave 100 year or longer cycles. If this is so, the extreme weather events from volcanoes, ultra-severe cold waves across the Midwest USA growing regions, severe heat in other places, volcanoes and earthquakes, could be a pre-taste of what is coming. Along with that could come shortened growing seasons around the world and harvest failures.
https://www.globalresearch.ca/are-we-blocking-out-sun/5692152
The ‘Grand Solar Minimum’ is just the latest denialist fantasy. If the current low level of solar activity is more than just the regular eleven-year cycle (Cycle 25)reaching its minimum, and we are in for something like a new Maunder or Dalton Minimum, then we might see a slow-down in climate destabilisation, but not a reversal. Indeed, with greenhouse gas levels increasing in the atmosphere, with emissions still rising(particularly of methane, thanks to fracking), with the effects of emissions in the last few decades not yet fully affecting the climate, with positive feed-backs like increasing megafires, dying forests, warming soils and seas emitting greenhouse gases, and melting permafrost and submarine clathrates emitting CO2 and methane, we will see any reduced solar activity imaginable, simply overridden by the heat-trapping effects of greenhouse gases.
Saving the rain forrests and preventing further deforrestation is the most efficient thing that can be done to help stabilze the environment, and will also produce the most immediate results.
Saving forests, and re-planting them, is definitely required. However we also need to cease emitting greenhouse gases as soon as humanly possible, we need to restore the albedo in the Arctic, by restoring sea ice cover, sequester carbon in soils through regenerative grazing and organic farming, and somehow resore mangroves, kelp forests and sea-grass meadows, for starters. We absolutely must do them all.
Ok. You have obviously been joking all along. Very funny. As soon as we stop breathing, eating, going to the bathroom, and kill everythung alive we can eliminate greenhouse gasses, oh no, that would interfere with your other plans. I will stick with planting trees and hoping for DC power plants in neighborhoods that recycle the waste from biomass in addition to other green energy.
Andrea, everything I mentioned increases biodiversity and Life on Earth.
Electroverse, a fringe of the denialist fringe, is speaking, if their assertions are even true. of the US in one 30 day period. No-one believes that the increase in global temperatures must be uniform, everywhere, or the science is disproved, but denialists. The global climate is destabilising, so, while average temperatures will inexorably rise over decadal periods, there will be outbreaks of cold.
The cold outbursts in the northern hemisphere have been explained by science. The high latitudes have warmed more than lower and mid-latitudes, and temperatures been ‘amplified’ there. The albedo flip from white, reflective, sea ice, to dark, heat-absorbing, sea has worsened the situation, and as a result the jet streams have been deranged over the northern hemisphere, and the polar vortices that keep cold air in the Arctic, and warmer air out, have also been disturbed. This cold air has ‘escaped’ from the north to bring cold to North America and Eurasia, while warm air has entered the Arctic, causing massive ice melt in Greenland and rain over the North Pole, plus high latitude wildfires. Nothing to be frightened of there-just science and catastrophe.
Mulga, It appears that many of these distubances are occuring as a result of undergoing a polar reversal, which we are overdue for, and has been demonstrated by increased seismic activity the last couple of years, especially in the ring of fire.
Of course, NASA and the governments wouldn’t want anyone to know about it. They are actually slow, but cause tectonic shifts, and changes in land masses. People frequently survive the changes in land masses, since they occur over time, and not always suddenly, but unfortunately, there are also casualties, and some shifts can be sudden.
Great new CrossTalk tonight on the US Deep State:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQW5wd1eN5E
I’m not exactly a tv person, but the interesting thing is that the MSM often reflect what we as ‘peons’ are supposed to believe. We are fed with hazy words like ‘climate crisis’ (warming? dare tell that to Midwest farmers), ‘inclusivity’, ‘gender neutrality’ and more snowflake buzz words.
And then this. Yesterday I noticed that in *all* tv commercials I saw mixed couples (white and coloured). In reality that is just a few percent of the population, I don’t care, when people are happy that’s completely ok for me. But we are almost force-fed with this concept. Why?
What’s behind this? I’m aware that this is a sensitive subject, but let’s dig a littlebit deeper in the rabbit hole. Now look at some excerpts of speeches of Nicolas Sarkozy. He tells the public that ‘interracial breeding’ is needed, and ‘it’s not a choice, it’s an obligation’, and that eventually the State will intervene to force it (how, exactly?). Hilarious is that he excludes this for Arabs in fear of ‘violence’. Now, is this racist or not? And I can hardly believe that he said this openly, but he did.
Look for yourself (english subtitled): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8yaiN6ew_g
At least he said it openly: the Elite wants to engineer a kind of ‘mocca race’. That is imho even beyond Nazi ideology, but quite in line with the ideas of the in the EU adored Richard Coudenhove-Kalergy. Do we think that the mass immigration from Arab and African nations is a ‘coincidence’ (of which, following practical reality, about 90% will stay on social security their whole life)? And that the negativeness about traditional concepts like ‘white’, ‘western’, ‘Christian’ are a coincidence?
However, I fear that this ‘idea’ will hopelessly fail. It could even be a prelude to civil wars. I’m not so positive about the future anymore, we are led by people with truly insane ideas.
Cheers, Rob

As I said, ‘hybrid vigour’ is good for all species, and we all come from Africa and once had darker complexions. Moreover, mating and child rearing are still voluntary processes, more or less, so why all the fuss?
Mulga – please re-read the moderation policy here at the Saker site. If you break the rules then your comment will either be sent to trash for the Saker to make the final decision or edited to remove any rule breaks. You are allowed to freely discuss your views but not to attack others. Mod.
I’m curious who or what MM was attacking here. Seriously, if a post like that can be considered an attack, what here isn’t an attack?
( I wasn’t on duty for that comment.But I think there was more to the comment that was removed.If not and the MOD was concerned the entire comment would have been sent to the Saker for review.But instead it appears the part that didn’t violate the rules was posted,MOD.)
It was probably my first comment there, which was more ‘robust’.
re in the magazine ,Military History Jan 2020 is an article titled,” Pocketful of Death” about ethnic cleansing on Serbs by Croats as Canadian UN “peacekeepers” sat by. Of course the article is a bit muddled and the obligatory sentence blaming both sides is thrown in but this one paragraph tells it all.. Page 31
” the front lines had been restored, but the buffer zone had been depopulated. The diplomats had allowed the Croats to delay their withdrawal, and the Croats used the time to put the Medal Pocket to the torch, rendering the Canadian -led Operation Harmony, literally and figuratively a Pyrrhic victory.”
( I would change that last phrase to “a bloody waste of time and lives.” ). This phrase “putting to the torch ” involved polluting wells, burning haystacks, destroying equipment and killing people.
Very grim but,. hey, medals were issued by UNPROFOR.
The lads were being mortared by the Croats at Medak Pocket. They returned fire, the first Canadian combat since the Korean War. A personal friend gave the order to return fire. The resulting investigation cleared him and his men as it was a case of self defence. Kinda hard to save anyone when you trying to save yourself. The boys were there on a peacekeeping mission (not combat) to save the Croats from the Serbs. Nice friends, eh!
The policies of the West today as far as the Balkans are concerned, are those of Hitler in WW2. Greater Croatia, Greater Albania, Greater Bulgaria. No Serbia, no Macedonia. As in the case of Croatia against the Serbs, it’s said that the Nazis + Mussolini, were horrified at the atrocities committed by the Albanian divisions in Serbia/Kosovo/Macedonia. After it was over, the Albs. were terrified that their would be retribution from Serbs and Macedonians, but Tito apparently prohibited any such ‘reparations’. As always, it appears that “those who put themselves in the service of the Devil” get a free pass.
About a year ago, I dived into the climate change business. I had a sense that this topic was going to explode into our consciousness. Well, it did. In addition, I wanted to figure if we should change any of our own small farming or big gardening that we do. Years ago with the first IPCC reports I was interested but when I saw the data being changed and manipulated, I lost interest. So, about a year ago I started looking at it again – just to at first bump into the serious politicized polemic, contentious claims and continual fighting.
So, I had to first figure out what the politics was all about, before I could find clean data to make up my own mind in relation to our own future planning. So, now, I’m done with all that. Here are my few conclusions.
(Just put it in your pipe and smoke it .. no need to start hollering and screaming if you don’t like it – these are my conclusions fwiw and you don’t have to believe them – if you don’t like them, feel free to say so but no hollering and screaming).
What I have after all this study, is a good list of open source materials as to where to find technical studies on the topic (and it is not Google) and a bunch of reliable scientists in a twitter stream that is not public. So, I feel I can get a quick overview whenever I need it.
So, conclusions … as there is something else I want to move on to.
So, the main issue with climate change is .. does the climate change. Of course the answer is yes.
1. So, we have the global warming crowd and they say no matter what we do, we’ve made our earth warm and no cold is going to change that. We have to almost start living like cave dwellers with no modern conveniences. This goes even to a worse idea, that the earths population has to decrease (which it is doing all by itself anyways), we’re all going to die in a spectacular type of species extinction very soon now and so on.
I do not subscribe to this warming model. The reasons are more or less simple – something like species extinction belong at least in studies of the end times or eschatology, the theory is spread by fear, the theory is used to bamboozle kids and have kids put pressure on parents and the economics is just wrong and based on resource extraction and hysterical humans begging governments for help or dictating useless solutions.
2. There are those that subscribe to a model of a new ice age, or some kind of climatic minimum. They do all the same things as the 1st category, excepting that there are positive things happening here, people are growing food, becoming more resilient, they encourage observational science and they don’t scare the kids. In the main, this group of people believe and act as if they have some smarts and can live with a changing climate. They are die-hard preppers and will probably save our food sources in a climate emergency, because we sure won’t get seeds from the seed vault in Svalbard.
3. Then, this 3rd idea I have not seen too much of. And this is more or less where I feel comfortable. Climate is changing (solar minimum and relative position of the earth to the sun and solar system). In this category I would say that climate will change, we will get cooler but things will not be as we know them. Greenland may go green again rain may start falling in the desert again, i.e., a complete and different view and perhaps a new picture that we do not expect. Climate problems will be dealt with by humankind with a combination of science and rediscovering old methods that worked in the past. This goes together with the end of the Kali Yuga and hopefully an earth renewal cycle starting again.
So, there are the ideas and in my view the 3rd one is more likely. This then answers my own questions on changing what we do on the farm, or not. Yes, changes are necessary, a little bit more of indoor growing constructed so that one can either use lights, shade from the sun, or deal with cooling, or in a way control the growing conditions a little better. This will include some robotics and my husband has been literally salivating to build some. Of course, good electricity is necessary and I’m in any way just sheer weary of solar systems as they are today. Solar is not a solution to climate.
Next on my never ending list of studies – GMO’s
The science has changed, climate change will force new ways of dealing with food, genetic engineering of both plant and animal (and human too) is becoming almost a kitchen science and is easily done by normal people with a bit of equipment and a bit of knowhow.
I am truly horrified at genetic engineering of food sources in order to patent and own that food source. Even more horrified at the lab grown foods or meat gristle stuck together with meat glue, that are now front and center on supermarket shelves. But my own feelings will not change the fact that this is happening more and more. So, I’m going to look into it .. the whole concept of bio-hacking and try to formulate what I can live with, what is ethical and what is not, and what I absolutely cannot live with. I hope the universe grants me time to do this research because there is a long list after that. Learning Sanskrit is on my list, but perhaps it is overreach :-)
Regarding GMO’s, I have a hunch that their promotion is, in part, meant to divert attention away from widespread genetic damage caused fluorides in phosphate fertilizers — part of propping up the myth of man’s godlike control over nature. The green revolution is yet another example of future faking
GE crops are mostly related to Roundup spraying, and glyphosate will prove, as independent scientists have been saying for decades, to be the greatest and most destructive pollution disaster in history. Glyphosate not only sterilises soils of that biota that ensures its fertility (particularly in concert with another catastrophic poison-the neonicotinoids)but also deranges and destroys our gut flora, so essential to health. Oh, and cause numerous cancers like lymphoma. How good is that!
Don’t forget the proprietary adjuncts so called “inert ingredients” in Roundup such as arsenic which aren’t even labeled. Consider the chemical structure of glyphosphate itself, it even looks like genetic damage.
Adjuvants, chimmy, if you’ll pardon the pedantry-and if I am correct in this context. It’s the correct term in regard to vaccines, which are stuffed with them, many kept secret for ‘commercial’ reasons, including, in one case, glyphosate itself. How good is that! Those in Roundup do appear to make it more toxic than other glyphosate products. The now sadly defunct Institute for Science in Society ran articles outlining glyphosates manifold dangers and toxicities for years, but the power of the denialist industry created by Monsatan and its stooges kept them suppressed, even now as far as Austfailians are concerned.
Maybe you can add 2 more things of the agribusiness mafia. Dark forces that definitely need some light.
– They force farmers to use their patented seeds only. Backed up by shady law enforcement, most probably through extensive lobbying and bribing.
– More and more they are buying exclusive exploitation rights to water sources, bottle it, and sell it for ridiculous prices. Water sources should be public possession imho.
They are one of the reasons (there are more) of the war in Syria, where they have forbidden GMO’s. So did Venezuela.
Btw, did you know that GMO’s are allowed in the UK, but absolutely forbidden in the UK Parliament? Shhhht ;-)

Some say that Homo Sapiens is a GMO project……. citing the Bible. .”and they took the daughters of men” and its references to Nephilim.
The story goes that these visitors tired of doing the required gold mining themselves that they came here for….and went looking for some earth creatures that could be jazzed up genetically …..to be their slaves/miners.
Enki (or was it Enlil??) was a geneticist, the story goes….and found suitable bipeds in Africa and Genetically Modified Homo Erectus (GMHE) to produce Homo Sapiens…..but that it was something of a rushed panicked job as the lower ranking Annunaki assigned to the mines………….were at the point of revolt.
Others call it a botched job…..but our egos are more mollified by the “Crown of Creation” idea.
Prometeo (briefly here a couple of years ago) was extremely resentful of these Annunaki (sons of Anu… who only came to earth a few thousand years later…to try to straighten out the mess..)…and felt that if left alone, we’d have enjoyed A Paradise…Just As We Were Supposed to Be..if Enki or Enlil hadn’t messed with our DNA.
My business partner disagreed, because he likes to win.
He didn’t consider “scratching our asses on the African Savannah for a few hundred thousand more years”….to be a “winning plan” at all.
I am familiar with the story, but there are a lot of conflicting stories.
The Playing God With DNA Story is quite old….and the NWO psychopaths are still at it if the story is true. I don’t know whether it is true or not….but I have heard that “the elites” believe it to be true….and that they have more of the Annunaki DNA in them than the rest of us, making them superior, and “born to rule”.
If that’s the case it doesn’t matter what you or I believe or don’t believe on this score, because, one way or the other, we have to deal with………. What THEY believe.
As they evidently take those beliefs rather seriously.
If GMOs and the Luciferian Control Freaks behind Monsato (now Bayer……so the Operation Paperclip researchers may conclude the project has just “gone home”…or back where it started….) do us all in, blame Enki. Or was it Enlil??
Nah…come to think of it, why takes chances of blaming the wrong brother!?
Blame ANU!
“The Acorn Doesn’t Fall Very Far From the Tree!”
Genetic manipulation of indigenous primates. Yep. It was Enki I believe. We had to start somewhere. So did the Annunaki. I’m good with it. Our “Gods” have gods who have gods who have gods…………………..
The facts are simple. In the last 200 years the global climate has experienced the greatest forcing of greenhouse gases, in extent and rapidity, in planetary history, as far as we know it. This has occurred because of human activities, mostly the combustion of fossil fuels, but also including deforestation and other effects. This forcing even exceeds those caused by massive vulcanism as in the Siberian and Deccan Traps.
The Siberian traps are linked, with ever increasing confidence, to the End Permian ‘Great Dying’ the worst mass extinction event in planetary history, when c.90% of terrestrial and 95% of aquatic species died out. The science today posits, with increasing confidence, that the initial forcing of increased CO2 levels caused by magma igniting vast coal seams in what is now Siberia, caused the release, through initial warming, of methane in frozen submarine clathrates, which pushed the world into a ‘hothouse Earth’ state, where the oceans warmed, stratified, de-oxygenated and the oceanic circulation broke down, leading to anaerobic conditions which saw anaerobes produce vast quantities of deadly hydrogen sulphide gas, that erupted from the seas, spreading death-the Canfield Ocean disaster. With the current forcing much greater and more rapid than at that time, we can fairly confidently expect a similar fate, particularly as the most recent climate science, and the irrefutable evidence from reality, shows that the ‘climate sensitivity’ to increased atmospheric greenhouse gas levels is higher than feared. And no amount of denialism, or diversions to paranoid political delusions can change that scientific reality.
And in much less time than that cancer has ravaged peoples lives and drove the cost of insurances through the roof, most people can live normal lives during a climate change event, but their lives are turned upside down trying to manage a cancer event. Cancers will be the downfall of the human race long before climate change is.
Excepting that all of this science, this whole theory with its assumptions is now being called into question more and more. The earth is not a greenhouse – there is free flow of air. The initial studies were done in greenhouse (encased in glass cubes) conditions and is still only theoretical, a hypothesis, and also old. Its just old.
New study, that can be repeated which should be so from scientific sources.
Published recently in the journal “Environment Pollution and Climate Change,” was written by Ned Nikolov, a Ph.D. in physical science, and Karl Zeller, retired Ph.D. research meteorologist.
The prevailing theory on the earth’s temperature is that heat from the sun enters the atmosphere, and then greenhouse gases such as CO2, methane and water vapor trap part of that energy by preventing it from escaping back into space.
That theory, which underpins the anthropogenic global-warming hypothesis and the climate models used by the United Nations, was first proposed and developed in the 19th century.
However, the experiments on which it was based involved glass boxes that retain heat by preventing the mixing of air inside the box with air outside the box.
…………………………
If correct, the implications of the discovery would be enormous, multiple scientists told WND.
For one, it means the climate projections used to forecast warming doom and justify a wide range of policies are completely wrong.
That is because they were produced by computer models built around a “physically deeply flawed concept, the radiative greenhouse theory,” said Nikolov, who works as a federal scientist but did the new study completely on his own time.
“The foundation of the greenhouse theory was born of an assumption, it was never shown experimentally, and our results show this is completely wrong,” Nikolov said. “Our study blows the greenhouse theory completely out of the water. There is nothing left.”
While describing himself as a “flaming, bleeding heart liberal,” Zeller noted that this should all be about science, not politics.
“This climate controversy is costing billions, making the wrong folks rich, and keep us from solving real environmental problems,” he explained.
…………………………
This is not the only scientific paper:
In 2009, for example, Gerhard Gerlich and Ralf Tscheuschner published a paper titled “Falsification of the Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics” in the International Journal of Modern Physics.
They wrote that the “atmospheric greenhouse effect” that “is still supported in global climatology” basically “describes a fictitious mechanism.” The second law of thermodynamics, they said, shows that “can never exist.”
…………………………
With a little sweat which I don’t want to expend now, I can haul out a massive body of research that rejects the theoretical AGW premise. It is still only theory, a hypothesis. The newer science actually performs the necessary experimentation in laboratory conditions.
There is no ‘free flow of air’ where it counts-into and out of the Earth system. The planet eceives a certain quantum of energy from the Sun, which must be balanced by re-radiation back into space, or the planet will heat up, or cool down, catastrophically if the imbalance persists long enough. At present the increase, most thanks to the capture of energy in the lower atmosphere by greenhouse gases, is something like 0.8 watts per sq. metre, which builds up over time, and has resulted in 150 zettajoules (10 to the 21st power) of energy being sequestered in the oceans, which absorb 90% of this excess energy, over the last 200 years.
The greenhouse effect is just a theory. All science is just a theory, but theories become more accepted and understood with time, and nothing in 170 years has refuted the science. It has only become ever stronger and better understood, and never refuted. As for the pseudo-science you quote, well, what are ALL the Academies of Science and scientific societies and 99% of active climate scientists besides these ‘geniuses’, I ask you? And the reference to money is particularly laughable as fossil fuels represent the greatest pile of filthy lucre in planetary history.
I observed that your excursions into ‘research’ are refuted by real research, by real scientists, following the scientific method, being peer-reviewed and revised, backed by observations. The role of solar radiance is minuscule compared to the greenhouse gas forcing of increased atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases, and is backed, irrefutably, by observations of rising global temperatures, growing megafires, melting sea ice and ice-caps, montane glaciers and permafrost, and the mass death of trees, creeping desertification and the derangement of the hydrological cycle, including increased atmospheric water vapour, itself a powerful, if short-lived, atmospheric greenhouse gas. At our current rate of ecological devastation, ‘preppers’ and everyone else are doomed to five to ten degrees Celsius increase in global average temperatures by 2100, or, probably, ecades earlier, and that will cause a mass extermination event worse than the End Permian ‘Great Dying’.
Above I should have aid that ‘…the role of CHANGES in solar radiance is minuscule..’. Oops.
Apparently, one can now order Nick Kollerstrom’s Who did 9/11: a view from across the pond from Amazon. Strangely though, there are no reviews and my review disappeared into the ether. Perhaps Amazon is banning it by not banning it, cause being banned by an obvious intelligence front is a major selling point in certain circles. I ordered mine from alternate vendors linked at Unz along with a book on the Leo Frank case as well as a book on a historical episode that I do not care to mention at the moment.
Moths will be attracted to the flame, I guess.
If you search author and title a page appears and it seems that you can buy it. If you search author only it does not show up. If you search subject it does not show up. Perhaps I am speaking only for myself; an algorithm conceivably could decide who gets to see what.
My copy arrived today I am about sixty pages in. I would definitely say that it stands head and shoulders above the other books on the subject. So thorough, so grounded and honest about what is known and not known that it obviates the need for otherwise laudable works such as Judy Wood’s work which does a good analyzing what is observed before going into what she thinks could have effected this. Where the author goes and where he does not go is a strength of Kollerstrom’s work Clear presentation, so far nothing that I hadn’t heard or read before, but I am only sixty pages in.
So Amazon blocks this book, and let David Ickes 900 page tome–won’t be reading– slip through. Perhaps lizards really do rule the world.
@ chimmy
Hi Chimmy! I’ve just finished David Icke’s 900 page “Trigger – the lie that changed
the world – who really did it and why”. Nothing at all in it about reptilians. I give Icke’s deep unending research, analysis, journalism, and writing a standing ovation. The book has lots of “time lines” that simply are impossible.
Part one, the first half of the book totally demolishes the official story. At the beginning Icke said he only intended to update an older book he had written about 911. But as he got deeper and deeper into newer evidence, the book got longer and longer. It’s 900 pages because it is VERY, VERY highly detailed. He is very clear about what he is certain of and can prove, much of it, and what he suspects but can’t prove. The military basically stood down until it was all over. How that happened is a story itself.
The Navy Jets scrambled from Virginia weren’t told that the threat was in the District of Columbia, and headed out to sea, as was their usual practice. On and on it goes. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staffs didn’t know what was happening because he said he didn’t have his cell phone with him. Huh?
So much fascinating data that I hadn’t seen before. For example, I hadn’t known that Lufthansa Airlines removed American made autopilot/avionics packages when Lufthansa learned that back doors into those flight systems made it possible to gain control of their aircraft and flown as drones from the ground. Lufthansa replaced the autopilot/avionics packages with another vendors equipment. Which company got the contract for back door flight control systems. The connections and names are interesting
Prior to 911, the USAF fitted a number of 757 or 767 tankers with those specific systems and tested them as drones. 911 was very much like the planned “Operation Northwoods” to use a CIA drone disguised as a U.S. flag carrier to be blown up over the Cariibbean in an attempt to blame it’s destruction on Fidel Castro’s Cuba, thus a reason for a military invasion of Cuba. That’s the plan that JFK scuttled and fired Allen Dulles for, with the stated intent to “break up the CIA into a thousand pieces”.
As an aside, Allen Dulles, who though retired as CIA chief, stayed present as chief intimidator to witnesses during the Warren Commission Investigation (Coverup). Allen Dulles, also was very deep into the shadow government that controls much of the world today.
It’s worth reading the book just to get a sense of what goes on at Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado where “discussions” were being made about what to do while one of their radar guys was hollering “Get rid of the God Damned (radar) simulations. We can’t tell what’s real and what isn’t”. While reading the book, I sometimes had to get up and walk around to grasp the enormity of what I was reading and calm down.
So much amazing data in the book, such as the sworn statement by the County Coroner in Pennsylvania who was intimidated by the FBI to sign death certificates without being allowed to see any bodies. And about the firemen’s dismay at the lack of wreckage at the supposed Pennsylvania crash site, and the witnesses of airborne explosions that said there where small white jets with twin engines in the tail at the time. Later, when shown pictures, they were able to identify white A-10 Wart Hogs that were flying in the area when they heard the explosion/s. The wives that supposedly were called by their husbands during the so called Pennsylvania highjacking said that the calls were unusually calm, considering what was being told to them. Most said it was as if a script was being read. One woman heard someone in the background say “Good job”. The FBI was deeply involved in the coverup by destroying information and intimidating people. Icke clearly states that there were also honest people in the FBI trying to do the right thing and being blocked at higher levels.
The same with the NTSB. This is the first time the NTSB has done an aircraft accident investigation without actually identifying the aircraft involved by parts serial numbers and registration and maintenance records. There is no proof that the airplanes that left the gates were in fact the airplanes that were crashed. Parts have serial numbers and serial numbers are recorded in maintenance records as equipment is replaced. Why did the NTSB not bother with the first basic step of an accident investigation? What airplane, what model, what serial number, what registration number? Nada! Why?
I hadn’t known that during Pres. George Herbert Walker Bush’s presidency, he brought 4000 Iraqi military personnel into the U.S. Icke suspects, but can’t prove that many of those Iraqi’s were used later as fake Muslims who were all over the U.S. making lots of memorable nasty scenes to attract attention while being certain to leave copies of the Koran wherever they went. A Mohammid Atta seemed to be all over the U.S. prior to 911 and when Atta witnesses were shown pictures of him, it wasn’t the Mahommid Atta they thought they knew. The real Mohmmid Atta had military ties elsewhere but also had training on USAF bases and some strange connections. If I remember correctly, Icke suspects that Atta, like Lee Harvey Oswald, thought he was “one of the boys” but was in reality being set up for the blame.
Icke presents both sides of the evidence and arguments for nanothermite vs. Judy Wood’s pulsed weapons theory of the twin towers destruction, but lets the reader make up his own mind.
The second half of the book is “who ‘done’ it and why”. When the pieces are all laid out, with the obvious motive (an excuse to start an endless war on terror) to destroy half a dozen middle eastern nations, and the many players involved, the puzzle is incredibly clear and ugly.
In defense of David Icke, I dismissed him as a nutcase about 30 years ago, as many others did. However, much of what he said has since been corroborated by many others and much of what he said would likely happen, is indeed happening. I read his previous book, “Everything you need to know, but were never told”, another almost 900 page tome. I’m 82, a retired airline captain, reasonably sane and intelligent and must say that his warning at the beginning of that book was true for me. To quote: “If you manage to finish this book, you will never experience the world as you do now”. Well, that was/is true for me. It made me rethink many things that I assumed I knew and thought I understood, and I’m pretty well read. That book also caused me to read some of the books in his long bibliography for more evidence. He expects he will be again castigated for Trigger. The truth is very ugly and uncomfortable. Icke has well explained and used the Matrix movie as an example of the managed perception we have all been conditioned with. If perception is managed, behavior follows. The Trigger is one of those book that will help people step out of the Matrix of managed perception and assumptions.
The best to you!
Barry, Icke has some strange theories but I like to believe the Queen is a Lizzy for sure ;-)
But he is generally plugged in. His huge speeches are sometimes available to watch, and those are really interesting and truly energetic. I like what he says, and the work that he did to expose the main pedofile ring in the UK.
Thanks so much for the book review. I’m not going to read the book as I don’t want to get into those details because of other things to do .. but your review is greatly appreciated.
@ Amarynth
Thanks for your kind and supportive comment. Yes! The entire Windsor bloodline. On the surface, “reptilians” or “shape shifters” seems like nonsense. But when one considers, as Icke does, that the brain is a decoder of electromagnetic wave-form frequencies into our perceptions (scientifically true), and that humans are only capable of decoding a very, very tiny band of frequencies in the very small light spectrum, plus modern scientific evidence of sub-atomic physics and the various theories about the holographic nature of our perceived “reality”, there is obviously much more going on than we normally perceive.
The first time I heard about shapeshifting was from the accounts of the recovered CIA MK-ULTRA sex slave Cathy Obrian in “TRANCEformation of America”. At the time I thought her experience of shapeshifting elite politicians was preposterous. But no more. Once Icke brought it out in one of his first books, he was surprised to be deluged with people all over the world confirming his claims. Which lead him further down the rabbit hole of endless worldwide research, from ancient histories onward. Of course he was excoriated for it and still is. But he’s one of the few on the planet who dares tell his truth with no fear of the consequences.
There is one handful of websites I visit daily for what seems to really be going on in the world. The Saker’s is one, David Icke’s is another. I value both.
The best to you!
I seem to recall that there are some strange lizard/reptillian references in Prokopius’ Secret history and the notion seems to gell with what Girard called “the dissolution of difference” the crisis phase of mimectic rivalry. There are a lot of strange things but what to make of them isn’t clear. Seraphim Rose, for example, doesn’t dismiss ufo’s and aliens, but interprets them as a (bad) spiritual phenomenon. Thanks again for your review.

Extremely sick and sadistic medical torture is taking place in America, which I happen to be an extremely unfortunate victim of, with either RFIDs, sensors, microchips, or microphones illegally implanted in my ears and nose while unconscious in a hospital. Directed energy weapons specific to a radio frequency in these devices and smart energy meters, referred to as death meters by ex FBI agent Ted Gunderson, and cell phone towers are being used for this horrrific dystopian Orwellian real life nightmare, verified by http://www.ICAAT.org International Center Against Abuse of Covert Technologies run by anaesthesiologist Dr.John R. Hall of Austin Texas, ( not me specifically) suggesting that 300,000 Americans have now been subjected to this Joseph Mengele style medical torture. It is like rape that never ends, raped by an anonymous and disgustingly monsterous wild boar. I do not support any political candidates and have not voted since 2016 and will not vote because I do not believe that there is a single candidate running for any office worth supporting. I have a neq zero tolerance policy regarding politics. This country has turned into nothing but a corrupt wasteland and those who rush to the defence of corrupt politicians, are not helping matters. Less corrupt than the other simply won’t cut it. This country is in a silent civil war of fantasy verses reality, the Mad Hatter Tea Partyers verses the Boston Tea Partyers, (not to be confused with the astroturph movement hijacked by David Koch.) There will be hell to pay and a day of reckonning to come for what this national insane asssylum has done to the world, and its own law abiding citizens! It is simply a matter of time. So if any one is looking for certainty, count on that!
“So if any one is looking for certainty, count on that!” Are you sure ??
I remember reading once that rose oil and perfume were so valuable that they were uses for trade/barter, they even grow in desert like conditions, I have seen this with my own eyes, their tap roots descend so far down.
“For millions of years flowers have been producing thorns. For millions of years sheep have been eating them all the same. And it’s not serious, trying to understand why flowers go to such trouble to produce thorns that are good for nothing? It’s not important, the war between the sheep and the flowers? It’s no more serious and more important than the numbers that fat red gentleman is adding up? Suppose I happen to know a unique flower, one that exists nowhere in the world except on my planet, one that a little sheep can wipe out in a single bite one morning, just like that, without even realizing what he’d doing – that isn’t important? If someone loves a flower of which just one example exists among all the millions and millions of stars, that’s enough to make him happy when he looks at the stars. He tells himself ‘My flower’s up there somewhere…’ But if the sheep eats the flower, then for him it’s as if, suddenly, all the stars went out. And that isn’t important?”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
Yes. Unfortunately, I am certain. It may not happen immediately, but it will. Iceland is the worlds oldest democratic country of 1,200 years. America has not behaved like Iceland. America has behaved like an emboldenned, war-mongering, rapacious tyrant and our economy is literally hanging on by a thread, despite what anyone is willing to admit to.
Andrea, how do you know that you have RFIDs, sensors, microchips, or microphones illegally implanted in your ears and nose while unconscious in a hospital? How exactly do these devices harm you or torture you?
Random Person, it took me a while to figure out that RFIDs, Microchips, sensors or microphones were illegally implanted in me while unconscious in the hospital. I awoke with execruciating and unnatural loud tinnutus that was like a screaching dental drill, initially, until my phone was hacked, in June of 2017, at which point someone started using directed energy weapons on me, which at the time, I did not know were DEWs, and initially thought that there were loud protests taking place somewhere. When I found out that other people didn’t hear these loud, repetive, non sensical chants, threats, sexual harrassment, i had learned about DEWs. In an attempt to sleep, since the extremely loud noise resulted in sleep deprivation, I lined a moving box with tin foil, thinking that i could place my head in it with the botyom open, free to toss and turn, since metal is supposed to block DEWs, i figured, since Faraday cages are used to prevent elctric frying in an EMP. When placing my head in the box, the spund became much louder, and was bouncing off and reverberating off of the inside walls of the box, at which point, i realized that these devces were inside of me. I also had an EMF meter and a Stingray surveillance bug detector stolen from my home, evidently to prevent me from figuring this out. The Stingray was returned broken, but the EMF meter was not. Also, when my grandfather had a polyp removed from his nasal cavaity, he started having seizures afterwards in the mid 90’s, and suspect that it was also done to him, because he had never had seizures, they started after surgery, snd he told me that he thought that it was caused from the surgery, somehow. I also recalled reading about Magnus Olsson, who is mentioned on the ICAACT website. So, that is hiw I figured it out.
As far as it coming from the cell phone tower, it was coming from that direction, and my dog suddenly started staring at it, who also had an RFID from the “humane” spciety, and ad for the smart meters, anything with a motor, or even faicets emit these noises, which must be specific to a low frequency RF from a device implanted in me since no other people hear it. Smart meters, surprisingly are not grounded, and EMFs can jump to metal piping, the pipes being the conductor. I called We Energies and complained that my appliances were all singing and they told me to buy new ones, which I was not stupid enough to do, and hear it from neighbors air conditioners as well.
Wow that’s terrible. Do you think you could have them taken out? I see you’re in Wisconsin so maybe you’re an American without health insurance. I would guess that the kind of ear nose throat examination and treatment you might need could be very expensive.
Although, it must be hard to trust doctors due to your ordeal. They would probably prescribe you a lot of expensive medication with nasty side effects which I suspect you wouldn’t tolerate. I hope you feel better though.
Anything to make a buck and kill off the witnesses. Snake oil salesman. Its even on their logo.
Considering that it was a doctor who did it to me, and that a highly degreed anaesthesiologist was unable to alleviate the suffering of the victims, my guess would be no. Frankly, I would be concerned that they would either murder me, or do some other sick and disgusting experiment on me. I notified everyone and everyone refuses to afmit to, acknowledge, or do anything about it. Kind of like expecting Joseph Mengele patients to go and trust a doctor in Germany. Until charges are brought against these montrous beasts, we are not safe.
This is a strange occurrence indeed, perhaps in your past you were subjected to loud noises somewhere or at sometime and they were stored some place in your brain just waiting for the right moment to come out.
Like my old man had a small dog that barked loudly w/o reason for quite a while. Now that the dog has passed he still hears loud barks during the night while in a deep sleep, not all the time, but enough to question where this noise is actually coming from, I told him it was all those stored up Bailey barks he had to endure while enjoying the pleasure of the dog for 14 years. The mind works in strange ways that even paid professionals go into denial about on a regular basis.
Everyone has experienced loud noises. These are chants that are often absurd and there is scientific proof to back up my claims by ICAACT.org, but for whatever reason, you seem to prefer to manufacture another reason, without any proof, or even knowing anytjing about me. That’s perfectly alright. I live in America. I’ve not only grown accustomed to that, but have come to anticipate it.
I was just saying, just like I know that a scientist is nothing more than a failed engineer, proof that.
Definitely disagree with you on that one. There are some who are primarily conceptualists that theorize over nasic observations, and others that develop things that are needed. They are equally important, but most now are not scientists, but psychotists that resort to fraud and evil and grotesque experimentation, with devices and weapons develiped by greusome and grotesquely minded engineers. All do not fall in those categories, in my view, but that is debatable. Some people would prefer a simple life like the Amish, and in many ways, I would prefer that, well actually more like Ralph Waldo Emmerson.
Well I do have to agree that the Amish way of life is the only way of life if one wants to survive in the long run, but in the short run, insanity rules.
Andrea, Catherine Austin Fitts did some searching and interviewed someone else that is also a Targeted Individual. CAF has spoken about this kind of electronic harassment a few times. Here is the link to her original work and this individual, from Germany has 2 websites that deals with this isssue. Perhaps you can find some information and direction there.
Good luck.

The waiting is difficult.
Waiting for total societal collapse.
I do not wish for it, and wish that i could repair this totally insane society, but cannot.
I am 100% certain that we will aproach total collapse, either by retalition from one of the many countries that we have illegally invaded, one of their allies, or simply as a result of another financial crisis resulting from a mathatically unfeasible economic system.
It is not possible to enjoy anything to any great extent knowing what is waiting in the wings, and that is only more suffering, more chaos, more despaire, more tyranny, and more violence.
Andrea, anthropogenic climate destabilisation, proceeding at accelerating pace, will cause total global collapse within decades. There are myriad other ecological catastrophes, but this is the Big One, I’m afraid.
I fear that you are right on that Mulga, as far as some areas of the world are concerned. This is year zero for Palestine officicially, but it has already happened there with life threatenning levels of nitrates and chlorine. Babies are dying from the heavily bleached sewage that their mothers have been forced to give them and choose to either slowly poison them to death with toxic water, or letting them starve to death. Many other countries within the next ten years will be in the same position. Of course, globalization, free and unfettered trade, and international banking is what created the massive population growth in these areas from industrialization, not to mention Zionism, of course for Palestine.
Andrea, live your life in all the areas that you can live it. Live it to the fullest.
The grief which has not yet come may be avoided.

Thanks. That would be great, but I live in a no go zone. I live in Wisconsin. The whole state is secretly a no go zone, but that’s classified, so you probably don’t know about it.
The grief of the ecological Holocaust, which is here, not yet to come, is unavoidable. Unless you do not care about the fate of Life on Earth.
The best thing to do is plant more trees! Save the world, plant a tree, if you want to hug one, well, it wouldn’t surprise me if someone out here actually sexually identified as a tree in this bizarro world.
I’ve planted a lot of trees, but many are dying. A disease is killing cypresses, and four Leyland Cypresses look stuffed. In the UK, sudden oak death, ash die-back and another disease afflicting horse chestnuts are wreaking havoc. We still have elms, but Dutch Elm Disease is an ever present threat, and a disease that assails Myrtales, like eucalypts, is slowly moving across the country.
You see it in his eyes, in the lines of grief and suffering deeply etched upon his face.

Gabor Maté on the misuse of anti-Semitism and why fewer Jews identify with Israel
Since viewing Gabor’s son, Aaron Mate, as guest on The Jimmy Dore Show on occasion, and discovering the Grey Zone which he and Max Blumenthal evidently run, I have been curious what explains them….. and what accounts for their serious presence in Alt-Media which brings quite a bit more gravitas to the table….than the usual more run of the mill “patriot”……or “progressive”.
I know quite a bit more about that tonight:

One of the most wonderful things about the UK is the fantastic genetic variety that comes out of those Islands. Not EVERY single thing about Empire is negative!
Why, I bet they even have their share of Persian DNA, too!
But something puzzles me:
For example, my online live instructor this week is the Nicest English Lady….surname Carr. A wonderfully charming, kind and gentle person, and highly knowledgeable in her field!
Could it be? Is it possible she and Jimmy Carr………………. share a father??
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPcRHHzGs7E
Jimmy ….Carr….not Dore,,,,,,,On Americans
No, I’m afraid…scratch that idea!…………. Entirely, diametrically opposed English Oaks must be responsible for those two English Acorns……now that I consider the matter more reasonably.
Yes. The British museum is faulous. Great swindle. Too bad that all of Persepolis couldn’t fit in it.
Not only that, but they stole all the T..s!
Just swallowed them right up!
For example your Greek “Beta” in the presence of their discourse…becomes “Be-a”.
I’m not a proper Englander, since a part of my DNA escaped their debtor prisons…..fled a dismal future in a dungeon by hopping on the Mayflower…..indentured for 12 years to an escapee family from those Pirates and Notorious Empire Building Thieves.
So I don’t take T ….er Tea ….Twelve Times a Day with sweet little biscuits.
However, I am practicing T swallowing…and prac-ically have i- down…..when you suddenly arrive….. From Greece is i-?…….elimina-ing B-s!
I don’- mean to s-ing, bu- one more consonan- swallowed…and my American English will sound like Chinese!
We were planning a weekend event. The nice lady from Taiwan suggested a “pa-la”.
“WHAT are you trying to say???” I demanded. “What’s “pa-la”?”
“Pa-La!” she repeated, startled and offended by my rude exasperation.
My question and her answer were repeated 2 or three more times, before I FINALLY understood what on earth she was talking about, after an American married to a Chinese teacher tired of his amusement.
“PoT LuCK:” I finally acknowledged, emphasizing the T-C-K ten times more forcefully than normal and shaking my head. Everyone brings some dish and all share…and I try to figure out what they are talking about.
I can hardly blame the Chinese though: Surely the English are to blame for stealing their consonants, and never really giving them back!
Sort of like Hong Kong……Gibraltar……Las Malvinas (“Falkland Islands”…as though the South Atlantic islands off of Argentina really belong north of Scotland…) etc etc.
But I digress.
Speaking of the British Museum, is the Piracy of Lord Elgin what you are referring to???
On Seeing the Elgin Marbles
John Keats – 1795-1821
On Seeing The Elgin Marbles by John Keats
My spirit is too weak—mortality
Weighs heavily on me like unwilling sleep,
And each imagined pinnacle and steep
Of godlike hardship tells me I must die
Like a sick eagle looking at the sky.
Yet ’tis a gentle luxury to weep,
That I have not the cloudy winds to keep,
Fresh for the opening of the morning’s eye.
Such dim-conceived glories of the brain
Bring round the heart an indescribable feud;
So do these wonders a most dizzy pain,
That mingles Grecian grandeur with the rude
Wasting of old Time—with a billowy main—
A sun—a shadow of a magnitude.
This poem is in the public domain now and belongs to everyone.
Piracy…The Taking
Poetry……The Giving Back
“The science has changed, climate change will force new ways of dealing with food, genetic engineering of both plant and animal (and human too) is becoming almost a kitchen science and is easily done by normal people with a bit of equipment and a bit of knowhow.”
Sounds like you will approach the subject with the same balanced, impartial, scientifically based analysis as you’ve been with global warming related subjects. LOL…
No, I won’t pretend to do any of the kind. I am planning to look into the modern version of genetic engineering, what is being done and add some information on an area that most of us probably lack knowledge, and eventually report my own conclusions as I see them with the data that I used for those conclusions. Nothing new – just a subject change and something that I need to have new information on anyways.
But you can of course to do your own reporting on anything that you like, instead of waiting on me to say what I see. LOL…
You are also free to ignore any of my stuff.
(I do not accept the theory of global warming as it stands today. I am committed to understanding climatic conditions as I think we may be in for a larger change here, and what makes sense to me, is that this will be a cooler climate and changes where we probably do not expect them – this will affect how we grow food and the longer term health and wellbeing of the community around me. Clear now? Its real practical and within my own ability and within what we concern ourselves with on a daily basis. I have no intention to ‘save the planet’ as I think the planet is perfectly capable of saving itself, and if we humans make the right decisions and do the right things, we can go with for the ride. First, is the end of war and a lasting peace.)
You do not accept climate science, but all the Academies of Science and scientific societies on Earth, and 99% of actively researching climate scientists do.
But all Academies of Science in the West are, and have long been, politicized machines. In the science departments, grants rule.
Those of us born into the Academic establishment know this. Half the tricks turned revolve around getting the government to shower you in dollars. Go along to get along is the game.
Most of the best research on herbal pharmacology (one example… in other words, how does Eleuthereococcus work, not “it simply doesn’t work”) is coming out of China, Russia, and so-called “third world” countries where “science” is not restricted in this way. Go to pubmed and do a search on a medicinal plant. The research that does exist in the states is usually biased around getting a patent to for pharmaceutical companies, which often have their logos prominently displayed in and around the building. Dot gov is partnered to dot biz, ’twas ever thus.
Western Academe is intellectually blind to a lot of things. Not that I disagree with your opinion, just sayin’.
I do agree that much Western ‘science’ is hopelessly corrupted, particularly when capitalist interests pay the piper. And that is why, in my opinion, the fossil fuel industry financed anthropogenic climate destabilisation denial industry is so utterly wicked. Orders of magnitude more Evil than those other denialist industries funded by business, that deny the harms of tobacco, asbestos, agri-chemicals etc. And funded to protect tens of trillions in fossil fuel assets, that they value even more than all our children.
amarynth
“Noaa is specifically involved in climate data falsification”
They have? Have you a legitimate* source for this claim?
* IE: not some “gimme gimme money” rightwing nonsense site.
(BTW, my previous comment was a reply to another amarynth comment – forgot to attribute what I had quoted.)
Sorry, cannot give you anything that neatly fits in with your own politics whatever that may be.
As geo-political affairs are opaque, full of lies and obfuscations and sometimes exceedingly difficult and frustrating to get to an analysis, climate science is even more so. I thought I had posted all these links and explained the political nature of everything in this field over all these last long and tedious months.
I think you should go and look for yourself as I cannot drop you a link that neatly falls within your politics.
I get the best results on this topic from startpage.com and for papers and journal publications, I usually search on open access journals. Then, our circle of friends in many many disciplines usually send me stuff if I ask.
I thought I explained that everything in climate is now politicized and highly polarized and even described what to look out for in the links that I gave you?.
So, one either learns quickly to ignore the biased viewpoints and find the knowledge or, you will not get anywhere. In the US sources, it is particularly onerous just to get through. Eventually I found that I have to read while ignoring the bias, and look for real statistics. Read the Chinese Press and follow their research from there, they have major sites dedicated to climate, and sometimes something comes up in the Russian press.
The various data falsifications (3 major ones) are well described from many places, as well as in many formal papers but I did not try to fit things into US type left/right wars and green new deals and other US political crap.
If you are actually serious, good also to search out the Solar Physicists. One name that comes to mind immediately is Professor Valentina Zharkova, but omg, she is Ukrainian (omg, we cannot look at her work can we? because she was born in the Ukraine so she must be suspect no? … anyways, there are other solar physicists that you can follow from there). I have no idea of her politics.
Look at the work of former NOAA scientist, Dr. John Bates (no idea of his politics, I looked at this data).
Also go and look at Prof. Judith Curry, specifically her history, where she explains when and how and why she changed her mind – because of the data (no idea of her politics).
The 3 major falsifications – climategate (go search for the actual emails), presenting climate graphs from the start of a warm period and leaving out the preceding cold period to make a graph appear steep and scary, or accenting the cold period and accenting the warm period in order to display a steeper graph, contrasting climate graphs with different time periods, the hiding of the climate warming ‘pause’ (there is real whistleblowing here, so work your way through the politics). There were smaller falsifications, like extending the land record over the sea in the Arctic, because sea records did not exist.
Search for
climategate
Noaa knowingly falsifying climate data
climate data falsification
hiding the pause in global warming data
data smoothing
and whatever other searches you can come up with.
Be sure to search separately in youtube and in twitter. For a start, it would be good to read all the ipcc releases over the years to get an idea what they say in actuality – kinda a base to work from.
Be ready to search long and hard for a viewpoint that fits your political viewpoint. I have not found one yet, so, I read the journals and the published science and harden myself against both right and left wing nonsense and try to understand climate issues separate from the political issues.
And I am truly done besides calling out junk if I have time. You can go through the various cafe’s for more or less the previous year and find links from there. One day I’ll try and grab all these posts and put them up in the saker.community for a whole record, but, that will wait for now.
You make assertions of dishonesty without proof because the science refutes your position. Climategate was a fraud, as SEVEN investigations proved. You might as well quote the Zionviev Letter or ‘Saddam’s WMD’.
I am really more towards your position on the subject than Amarynth, but really? Come on. “The Science” is not, and has never been, set in stone. Think of how much Science has changed over the course of the last century.
In Einstein’s day, the “Universe” was thought to be what is now known as the Milky Way galaxy. When I was born, antibiotics were thrown at everything including the common cold. Gut bacteria were thought to be nasty, disgusting nuisances, and wanting a “pro-biotic” would get you laughed out of the science “expert’s” seminar.
Really, I think you’re letting ideology get in the way here. Things change, new things are discovered, etc. I by and large am “on your side”, but I have no problem with _anybody_ asking a few questions. You know, “Question More”, etc.
I would like to hear your argument about the politicization of Science in the West for ulterior motives. Do you actually think it doesn’t exist? It’s all around us.
A real debate on the subject of climate change always gets bogged down in people shouting each other down. Personally, I think the notion that human beings, with our wonderful pollution and glorious atomic bomb experiments and fossil fuel extravaganza, are totally not to blame for the environmental chaos, is a little bit arrogant, if not “twee”. But it’s in the spirit of true debate to respect one’s opponent and bring something more to the table than a dressing-down.
I understand being passionate on the topic, but good manners are also helpful if not necessary to save the planet, it says here.
Climate science is basically ‘settled’ as the US National Academy of Science declared, but, like all real science, it is being constantly improved and refined. The chances of it being refuted completely approach zero, and, moreover, the evidence from reality of rapid climate destabilisation is irrefutable. What is more, this is an existential question for all Life on Earth, so we must err on the side of Life protection and preservation.

“You make assertions of dishonesty without proof because the science refutes your position.”
Lucky you, still being allowed to criticize the esteemed elite…
Go to the source Mulga, the emails. Even Google will give you them – I guess I am just returning your solution .. I’m done with this.
The e-mails say NOTHING untoward. It is the fraudulent assertions of the fossil fuel and Rightwing financed industry hacks, refuted as I say, by SEVEN investigations, that falsely create the furore, just like the Ukrainegate nonsense. Concocted out of thin air.
Please stop using capitals – its screaming and breaks moderation policy. Mod.
Sorry, but I was screaming as I typed.
You’re usually screaming.
It’s hard to argue with someone who doesn’t listen to a damned thing you say.
YMMV.
One could also argue, on the face of it, that NOAA at times is simply incompetent.
Around here, they say 30% chance of rain several times a week. Which could be translated as “hail mary pass”, or “we don’t know.” Not that they should know, because what’s really happening is actually called “Global (weather) weirding”. Hailstones in Guatemala in midsommer, that kinda thing.
I can’t imagine the NOAA is any less nepotistic or inbred than any other U.S. govt. department, from the top down, although I confess ignorance on the subject.
Climate and weather forecasts were improving as computer power increased, models were refined and more evidence from reality and more daily and more frequent observations were made, over more of the planet and from space. In other words normal scientific progress. But then anthropogenic climate destabilisation set the cats among the pigeons, and weather and climate surprises are on the increase.
Leaked footage shows US weapons transfer to Saudi-led coalition in Yemen as arms are doled out to jihadists – report
https://www.rt.com/news/472813-footage-us-arms-saudi-coalition/
“Filmed secretly in Yemen at the Saudi-controlled port of Aden, the footage claims to show the unloading of a fresh arms shipment for the coalition in late October, including the familiar outline of an American-made Oshkosh armored vehicle, also known as an MRAP. Yemeni authorities backed by the Saudi coalition have reportedly made a number of arrests in a bid to identify the leaker.
In February, a CNN investigation revealed that US weapons delivered to the coalition were consistently landing with local militia groups, including hardline jihadist factions linked to Al-Qaeda. The new footage, obtained by CNN, might be the latest sign that little has changed on the ground, despite the evidence of illicit transfers.
More recently, US arms supplied to the United Arab Emirates – a major partner in the coalition – were traced to separatist factions fighting in Yemen’s south, which intermittently clash with pro-Saudi forces in the country. While the southern separatists are not on the US terrorism list, the arms only complicate a bloody years-long conflict marked by shifting alliances and a disregard for the laws of war on all sides.
The Saudi vessel carrying the new arms shipment stopped outside of Sudan in mid-September, tracking data shows, but turned off its GPS locator soon after departing the port, only to reappear in Aden in late October, when the leaked footage was captured.”
What, cnn reporting the usa supplying terrorists with arms? Well, not exactly, they are doing what is called damage control. They are saying sweet, innocent uncle sam sold the weapons to the saudis in good faith, while the dastardly saudis went and passed along the arms to the terrorists in defiance of pindo wishes. The cnn story is an attempt to cover up direct israeloamerican support for terrorists.
In reality, what is happening is similar to the israeloamerican wars against Libya and Syria, where the zionazis and their pathetic colonial regimes armed and “guided” the very terrorists they supposedly were fighting a “war on terror” against.
In parallel with the Russian flame thrower deliveries the Saudis should get to grips with those pesky Houthis real soon https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2019/04/10/russia-delivers-flamethrower-systems-to-saudi-arabia-reports-a65185
The Moscow Times? Great reference material, dude.
It’s almost like a little pop-gun goes off and anon goes off to the races, on any subject, and at any time. It’s irritating to run into this kind of buffoonery around here, this place is supposed to have standards and be civilized. This kind of 5-D’s crap looks like a little thing but these people are serious: the last “D” is of course “Destroy”, i.e. to destroy the forum and bring everyone down. Kills the human mind. Go ahead, anon, flame away, you are nothing if not 100% predictable.
Please try and refrain from attacking other commenters. Thx. Mod.

MOSCOW, 10 APR — RIA Novosti. Saudi Arabia received the first batch of Russian heavy flamethrower system “Sun”, told RIA Novosti source in the military-industrial complex.
The contract for the supply systems of the two countries signed in 2017.
As noted in the Federal service for military-technical cooperation, Russia and Saudi Arabia agreed to supply anti-aircraft missile systems s-400 and anti-tank missile complexes “Kornet-EM”, TOS-1A “Solntsepek”, grenade launchers AGS-30 and Kalashnikov AK-103.
Later, the signing of the relevant agreements, has confirmed the service’s Director Dmitry Shugaev.
System “Sun”, developed in 2001 based on the chassis of tank T-72. It is intended for fire support of motorized infantry and tank units, the scrapping of the lightly armored and automotive equipment of the enemy. The system features an advanced launcher, and an automated guidance system.

Original Text: The entire army avoids the enemy, there is no blame for it doesn’t deviate from the normal.
解析：在敵強我弱的情況下，為保存自己，主動退卻，待機破敵。這種以退為進的用兵方法，並不違背正常的用兵法則。
Analysis: In circumstances where the enemy is strong & I am weak, to preserve myself I must actively retreat & wait for an opportunity to defeat the enemy. This is applying the military method of using retreat as advance, which is not contrary to the normal use of military law.
Jul should have run, like the snowman, once the drop was dropped!
(and not linger for the ‘glory’ photos and fans)
But we will see…
if there be other gods for Jul that is stronger than their gods?!
Speaking of the Elgin marbles which a couple of people were above, they have been at the British Museum for 200 years, just how many millions of people have wandered, stood, jostled, and traipsed past these most wondrous creations ? How many Chinese people, and Japanese, and folks from all over the world I wonder.
In the same line of thinking, how many have gazed at them in wonder with seeing eyes, or have ambled past without interest, awe, or understanding ? Does it make a difference to the marbles and to the whole atmosphere?
Does it make a difference to the glory of the sunrise, the rainbows, the oak tree, the flowers at the park, the atmosphere, if people walk past them without appreciation, without seeing eyes ?
Of course many have and do, but sit somewhere there close to the Greek marble statues and reliefs at the BM and watch the passers by, or in the park, and you may know what I mean.
But 200 years without the spirit of human love, devotion and attention is a long time. The worst thing is the expression of sentimentality attached and associated to these things. They are seen for leisure time, but art and nature are not leisure constructs for down time, but life itself. They depend on the open mind/spiritual interrelationships of our consciousness. Not in an arbitrary sense or way, but in an awake way of seeing, listening, hearing, perceiving.
The collapse of nature and social systems is in direct relation to our failure to fully, tangibly, realize the spiritual dimension of life.
Every step towards this will help save the planet. Not more not less.
Another term for preventive war is aggressive war – starting wars because someday somebody might do something to us. That is not part of the American tradition. — Ron Paul
