It ain't just the West. Morons are everywhere, the more educated the merrier.

When my greatly unlamented highly-educated late ex-father-in-law built his dream house in a place far, far away, he included no fireplaces because electric heaters were *better. * In a place with regular load-shedding in winter for hours at a time. Though it wasn't like our winters, it can get mighty cold in houses built to keep out summer heat.

Whenever it got unbearable for me, I'd walk down the street to the relatives who had, you know, buckets of charcoal burning in their hearths. (Disputes between provincial governments ensured that their province had no gas pipelines. Propane was used for cooking in wealthier houses.)

I guess the whole purpose of higher education has been to breed common sense entirely out of the population. Project seems to be going nicely.

A combination of higher "education" (really indoctrination) along with a steady stream of propaganda from the government, MSM, and entertainment have completely eliminated critical thinking among the masses.

Because critical thinking is a White trait, and that's racist.

I've lived with and near extremely poor South Asians, and it only takes a little of things going wrong to utterly destroy their lives. This is a crime against humanity and the gibbets can't be high enough. Let's hope for all our sakes that the European farmers are fighting back in time.

Leftism is a crime against humanity. It has not only murdered some 250 million souls and impoverished and displaced countless millions more, it has destroyed every economy and polity it has ever infected, from American colonial villages to major cities and entire nations.

It is societal poison. We will never be truly civilized until it is generally seen for what it really is and eradicated.

Let's hope the Sri Lankans will learn from their misery, and that the Dutch (and other northern European) farmers triumph over the globalist swine that rule them.

Haha, yep. I think those who survive higher education with their common sense intact are probably the only ones who really receive an 'education'.

The real question is: how much of this deliberate or is it truly just incompetence? Two years ago, I would have blamed this disaster on bumbling idiots but now I have a hard time believing it is not intentional.

What I have observed is that the front pieces in all the governments seem to be dumb and incompetent like pResident Brandon, who now has much greater deficits than just being dumb and incompetent while the ones actually calling the shots (both senses of the word) are behind the scenes. SO, the only thing I can conclude is that it all is deliberate and the bumbling idiots are the cut outs we are all supposed to blame while the, so called, Masters Of The Universe get away scott free with their crimes.

There is far, far too much lockstep coordination between almost all nations for this to be incompetence. Incompetence would be random, some countries going one way, other countries going other ways, no coordination. No this was planned. Listen to Archbishop Carlo Vigano:

"“I call upon rulers, political and religious leaders, intellectuals and all people of good will, inviting them to unite in an Alliance that launches an anti-globalist manifesto….”

"...For two years now we have been witnessing a global coup d’état, in which a financial and ideological elite has succeeded in seizing control of part of national governments, public and private institutions, the media, the judiciary, politicians and religious leaders.

All of these, without distinction, have become enslaved to these new masters who ensure power, money and social affirmation to their accomplices.

Fundamental rights, which up until yesterday were presented as inviolable, have been trampled underfoot in the name of an emergency: today a health emergency, tomorrow an ecological emergency, and after that an internet emergency..."

"...The multiple Vatican endorsements of the criminal mass-vaccine campaign confirm the full adherence of the hierarchy to the globalist Vulgate, without taking even the slightest account of the serious critiques of the so-called vaccines…

The Pontifical Academy for Life is no exception. It has become an organ of Neo-Malthusianism, even to the point of declaring that subjecting oneself to inoculation with the experimental drug is an act of love and a moral duty, incontrovertibly denying not only the evidence of the facts but also the existence of a global plan that has deliberately caused this psycho-pandemic in order to bring about a ruthless reduction of the world population (especially the elderly) and impose forms of control and restriction of the natural rights of citizens...."

Endless thumbs up for your comment. Absolutely love Vigano.

For those interested in all things "Papal" there is an obscure book called Windswept House which is based on real events. It's very long, and hard to find but well worth the read. It was written in the 90's and has lines in it that you will hear on the news today. Very... disconcerting.

remember that this started under trump. I disliked the man so much I did not pay much attention at who came and went, but was made aware of NO doctors at all going to the wh.

Once upon a time, someone said that Social Security was going to go bankrupt and the system was going to collapse. The plan was to have it collapse under a non-traditional candidate, so that neither political party was harmed. I believe the collapse was supposed to happen under Trump, but was somehow waylaid.

They have been saying that in Belgium for 60 years, and it is still going. Of course the system there works completely different.

You made the comprehensive case, SmithFS. Since you wisely point to evil and demons, it is clear there is only one effective path for us all: DOWN ON OUR KNEES. Seriously. Not just talking about it. Not just a few muttered prayers to the "big guy" upstairs, but serious prayer time + fasting. Dust off the Bible. Read the four Gospels. This is the sort that CAN be driven out by prayer and fasting. Serious fasting, as in bread and water for a day, one day a week. As the Veggietalians remind us: "God is bigger than the boogeyman." This is do-able, folks.

There is a kind of intentionality that exists in the vacuum of moral abdication. I don't need to intentionally solve for ways to lead you to ruin and death, but I can ignore the consequences and costs of my actions (and inactions) as I operate within the morally elastic Machiavellian zero-sum defect-defect paradigm for personal gain at any cost, and pretty much accomplish the same outcome for you because the System not only allows for this abdication, but it solves for it.

I don't need to know if there is a lair in a volcano where the globohomo cabal plots our end over caviar and kids. But I know that pretty much every decision made by the ruling class is contrary to my beliefs and detrimental to my people and way of life.

And every edict handed down is enforced both passively and enthusiastically by the minons of the administrative apparatus - as well as everyman protecting his paycheck or status just the same.

So the question of intent is a good one but also less important than the resulting actions and their impact on our lives. There is a war on us. Perhaps it's just a clown car full of retards, and psychopaths or perhaps it is a limousine full of evil geniuses coordinating a global financial collapse and depopulation effort to turn us all into peasants. I'm gonna send a Javelin down range either way because both are packed with TNT and headed straight toward my family.

I have to give el gato big props on this point. No idea how he maintains his sunny optimism that all the chaos and evil he correctly identifies is somehow mere stupidity, blindness, incompetence, and random. To me, there is no question that the chaos and destruction we're seeing is exactly what the Oligarchs intend. What I'm trying to decipher now is their next move to get from the collapse they're engineering to the Globaltopia they've written about openly for decades.

(Incidentally, that's not a bad analogy to think of this like a demolition of a building. A building isn't just knocked down haphazardly. The engineers study it and figure out exactly where and how to bring it down. The bigger the building the more careful the planning. None of us would look at a large demolition and think,"How could these engineers and city officials be so stoooopid, putting explosive charges at key support points and wiring in lines that could set off the charges? Dont they realize that they're going to collapse the building? "

Why yes. Yes they do. That's the point. We may not understand why they want to destroy our building or what happens after that, but no rational person could see the preparations for the demolition and think it's accidental or coincidence or incompetence.

Much of what we see is courtesy of Blackrock/Vanguard. They, on behalf of the real share owners, vote those shares as Blackrock/Vanguard sees fit regardless of the wishes of the real share owners. That gives them power over many publicly traded companies board of directors. They were able several years ago to get a number of greenie directors on Exxon's board. The board caused the company to reduce investment in future oil fields, even divesting in several promising ventures. The result is now apparent in not investing in drilling and exploration.

Banks were also swayed by arguments about high risks in funding future oil ventures removing loans deemed risky. Again lack of money forced reduced investment in drilling and exploration. There is a lag of years between investment and revenue flow.

The lack of investment starting several years ago created oil shortages in the US now. We are pumping at max but that doesn't account for growth in needs. And government policy has made that situation worse. Limiting leases and pipeline builds reduces capacity growth in oil meanwhile alternative green solutions can't possibly fill the gap. When the sun doesn't shine or wind doesn't blow capacity is limited and we lack to practical storage capacity to store excess on sunny windy days. While Li-ion storage may be OK for cars, it cannot be practical for utility scale storage and the R&D for alternatives has been limited.

Whether all of this really was planned by Blackrock/Vanguard is unclear. What is clear is that they have not acted in the best interests of their real shareholders in trying to force ESG solutions on a world not yet ready for the transition. Trying to hurry investment and invention before it's time rarely works. We are and have been on the technological path to reduced fossil fuel needs in line with dubious climate issues but trying to rush the process is wasteful and fruitless.

Hey I just discovered Slavsquat about a month ago. He does good work and I trust his information. I would have to go back and check but I thought I heard that the situation you referenced is about to change. The banking system is being overhauled due to the necessity of responding to the sanctions, etc. I don’t think I heard it from Slavsquat though. But the COVID thing is a big question mark for me in terms of just how much Putin is enmeshed in perhaps his own version of the Reset.

I watched the debate and was unimpressed with Slavsquat (can’t remember his real name). One can’t deny the wonderful fact that the Russian military, under the Putin government, is destroying large numbers of UkroNazis. For that I am very grateful.

As someone who was in the energy industry for 30 years I can say that thinking we can just shut everything off without stable, reliable alternatives in place is a pipe dream. Sorry to the fanatical green movement, but it's a fact. My opinion has always been, let's use *everything* available and do it right. And American energy companies do it right more so than any other country on the planet. People don't realize that energy companies are some of the most regulated industries in America and are constantly evolving their practices to become "greener" and more efficient. And sorry again, most of what we see coming out of "smoke stacks" at power plants is *steam* from the massive scrubbers we're required to have in this country. Perfect? No. Better than other countries? Absolutely. Better than freezing to death or being unable to cook? You bet it is.

I worry that when that rock bottom comes, the power players will step out of the shadows and they'll use that moment to implement "the only possible solution" ....which is an immediate full transition to digital central bank currency [with digital ID being a packaged necessity].

We saw governments all over the world act in lockstep with each other, on the orders that come from above (not below), so they'll absolutely try this if they can.

Yeah, I have something even more unpleasant to throw at you:

If you are unj@bbed, you CAN get c0vid more than once, even if you have already had it. We had alpha in late 2020, and were exposed to delta. Did not get sick. Now... we both have omicron, which is not a particular walk in the park, at least for us. So as variants appear, both the j@bbed and those who are not will get it. FWIW, my guess is that a variant you're not immune to will appear every other year.

In the end, the j@bbed will eventually die from either the side effects of the j@bs or a variant. The unj@bbed will eventually die of a variant.

See? We're all doomed.

Expand full comment

Not so. Infection prior to having any vaccination in a person without significant “comorbidities“ leads to what is called natural immunity. Natural immunity is far broader in effectiveness than the narrowly focused Covid vaccinations of any type. Why is this? This is because when the body is exposed to the virus it “sees” The entire Covid virus not just the spike proteins antigen on which vaccines are based. The body has a memory and when is it exposed to a “variant“ of the Covid virus it can quickly recognize it and build fast acting antibodies and later cell-mediated immunity.

Expand full comment

Dr. Martin believes the injected are now basically mRNA replicating virus-creating machines and will be producing new variants, each of their own. The unjected need to keep their own immune systems at peak performance - healthy foods, filtered water, fresh air, sunshine, exercise, vitamins and minerals, faith in God, prayer, and laughter - great big doses of humor as often as possible. Hopefully finding like-minded community too.

Haha, well good news for the weekend eh? ...we are all doomed.

Interesting what you say about getting sick with Omicron but not Delta. I remember on the Dark Horse podcast they discussed the fact that Omicron likely came from a lab because when you look at the phylogenic tree [link below] it is a direct ancestor of the original Wuhan strain, which had been out of circulation for a while ...ie, it looks like it was in a fridge in a lab somewhere before 'hitting the market', so to speak. They discussed some of the other alternative explanations for the tree to look this way but none were highly plausible.

Omicron showed up with something like 10 mutations *just* on the spike. If it is a lab product, and the spike (the 'key') looks notably different, then they posited that this was a sensible explanation for why Omicron was busting through community immunity with "breakthrough cases", as the CDC calls them.

I saw the same thing; Omicron is supposed to be a "white hat" release that will stop C0VID.

And maybe it will; I don't know. Perhaps if you are unj@bbed and get omicron, you will be OK after and never get c0vid again. Not sure about the j@bbed; they seem to be getting it multiple times.

So... a warning: it starts with either a sore throat or a dry cough. Gradually gets worse. My husband, who had a very hard time with alpha (got pneumonia) got over it quickly. Alpha wasn't as bad for me, but this is lingering on and on and on. It looks like bronchitis, but isn't.

I just feel crappy so I'm doomy today. And... in the end, no one gets out alive.

I suspect (b/c I don't do the test) I had Omicron in early Jan 2022. Had the OG 'rona in Mar 20 and could feel that each was unlike a 'real' cold or flu. I found Omicron milder than OG (which I've had flus way worse, but again, the chest tightening, the weird recurring shivers...none of that was 'normal') BUT had some weird minor lingering effects (buring pain along lymph areas; reynauds in hands).

Point of my post is I took NAC and think that is what cleared up the lingering symptoms; they are gone. I'm sure you know about it b/c you post here, but just thought I'd share what worked for me. Hope you feel better; I enjoy your posts and understand feeling doomy at times.

Thank you Michele, for both the kind words and the advice. I actually started adding NAC to my protocol two days ago; it helped with the chest pain I was having. One 600 mg once a day was OK. I took two and it was odd; it was almost like I was taking pseudoephedrine, but not quite. It also kind of hyper focuses me. Very strange.

My husband did a home test early in the week that came out negative; however, I'm sure it's what we have. I've also talked to other people who have had it that have said the tests won't always detect it. He still has a cough, but that's all. I have a bad cough (bronchitis-like), and random sweats. He had shivers; I don't. Not bronchitis.

Omicron had over 30 mutations! Great read explaining the phylogenic tree and mutations: https://bprice.substack.com/p/lab-leak-20

Thanks Martha, much appreciated, I'll check this out.

Have a great weekend.

What will it take to wake people? Maybe they ought to enjoy the bliss of their ignorance a while longer. The trouble is coming whether they understand it or not.

A snippet of actual real-life happened yesterday with a visit to a resort-area outlet center, could have claimed to be a ghost town. I asked a 20ish employee in one of the stores if this was unusual and she said it was, and that the normal swarms didn't show up on the Fourth either. Curious to get her take, I asked if she thought inflation, with rising gas and food prices, might be to blame, but she claimed wages: "They have to pay employees more." Yikes. (Well, at least no one was wearing a mask.)

It's happening, like dark storm clouds forming on the horizon -slowly to be sure- but it's coming, and coming hard. We've hit the iceberg and there aren't lifeboats for us. Even worse, it is all forethought with malintent.

Climate hysteria was the perfect ticket for the anti-capitalism / liberty crowd who no longer could get traction on the old class struggle meme. Thirty years ago they draped in "green" and continued to take over all the institutions and are now responsible for not only the end stage democracy of universally bankrupt welfare states but peak energy ignorance. The legacy media is now the exclusive media of the epistemologically bankrupt institutional elite and happy-faced fascism which has become much less happy-faced lately. The people's media is now almost exclusively online.

Thirty years ago the German auto workers (union) funded Greenpeace with payroll deductions. Today they get their energy policies from Greta Thunberg and face energy poverty, economic collapse and starvation.

That's why we call Green parties "watermelons": green on the outside, red on the inside and grown from brown pits.

Another parallel with communism: green utopianism (or dystopianism - how many people really aspire to the life of a medieval serf?) only "works" if the whole planet does it. And by "works" I mean, successfully entrenches the permanent rule of the WEFite cult (which is essentially what communism was intended to do). If it's only successfully imposed on a few countries, the massive economic handicap that results enables competitors to steamroll the infected countries.

Hobbes undoubtedly considered "the life of a medieval serf" when he famously observed that life was "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short".

How does life in many of our 'urban hellholes' today differ from the that lived by the poor of Hobbes' time? Assuming the conversion to serfdom under our WEF masters proceeds apace, (as it seems to be doing), will Hobbes not have described the fate of a much reduced future population? .

Hope you’re right.
