“…as a religion …. well, considering the fanatically hate-packed parts of theirs, which are certainly not made known to the general (non Jewish) public — but have, at least in part, become quite blatant with regard to Gaza — do you really think anyone could nowadays seriously subscribe to most sects of that religion without them having a rather dangerous, even if suppressed, attitude problem?

I bolded above, because it doesn’t make sense. If such as you describe isn’t made public, how is it you can ascribe to that faith what is happening in Gaza? Every religion is always under attack from its founding, by, in particular, pretenders to the faith who want to use it, as Zionists are now doing, to propagandize and confuse.
A faith must stand the test, have goodness to begin with, and its gentle-minded participants, (of which there are many in Judaism as there are in Christianity as there are in Islam and other faiths) have as they could protested what is happening. Many who could have left that state in droves. Many even died at the hands of their own ‘protectors’. Many were unable leave.
What is left are not the dregs; they are those who cannot speak out for fear of persecution. There are many (even more than those who left) of the latter. I am sure of that. I bless them all: keep the faith, hold fast to the good. That faith has stood cruel tests in the past; it has survived; it does survive under more compassionate regimes. As the Chinese say, be like the grasses which bow to the storms and live.
So, Cynic, your claim is poppycock, and I am foolish to have addressed it, instead of ignoring it. I will do so for any such in future.
But there it is.

My guess is, according to some westerners who live in China, they say the gold investment boom within Chinese people is only beginning. And the government is deliberately encouraging savings in gold.
The paper gold (COMEX gold future contracts) must follow the price in China/Shanghai metal exchange, because it has increasingly more weight in gold trade.
And if gold price rises, it could also fuel more purchasing from western central banks. And financial institutions will probably eventually exchange bitcoin for physical gold, because physical gold is actually a capital asset (tier 1) on their balance sheets.

persiflo | Mar 11 2024 9:12 utc | 90 “Philosophy of science”
As I cannot comment on substack, open threads here are as good a place as any. Around grade 7 or 8 I stopped writing anything down in school,and took to heading up to the pine plantation for the day only coming down for science, woodworking and metal working. Metal working there was a few of us clowns never did home work so a few weeks of the and the old school teacher gave us the choice of the straight edge or the corner. I looked at the straight edge and being a bit dumb thought that hurt. He could swing a straight edge like Imran Khan could swing a bat. Acting in my persona as a gentleman of culture will leave out the four lettered emphasis.
But fuck could he swing it. Next week same again. That time round I thought fuck this is gonna hurt when he gave us the choice.
He simply waved me on so I precede to turn a perfectly good piece into scrap metal but the rest of the clowns spent the entire course standing in the corner. They should have opted for cooking or sewing.
Science. I have something akin to dyslexia when it comes to English and Maths. But that year seven to year ten was just basic common sense. I always liked it and always attended. Most of the tests were just a matter of ticking the right answers no maths or written English required. Just a matter of ticking off the checklist then siting back watching the clowns with their copius files of scriblings intently thinking about the dumbfuck obvious. From year seven through to year ten I always topped the class and every time, without fail, I was disqualified for cheating. Later in life, I learnt to distinguish experts from ex-spurts. Experts are rare.

Cosmopolitan (not land based)
Materialist (success in the here and now, means justified by self-serving ends)
Messianic (faith in supremacist destiny)
Tribe (part blood, part faith, part compact, part conspiracy …all together a self-identifying in-group with a predatory relationship with all outside the tribe which exists within, without being beholden to, other national and religious jurisdictions, such as Christian congregations and institutions, infiltrating from within but ever retaining first loyalty to The Tribe).
Jews: a cosmopolitan, materialist, messianic tribe.
There is no other intra, inter and extra jurisdictional collective like it, with the possible exception of criminal groups like Yakuza, tongs, mafia, Russian mobs (all of which are Jewish), not to mention the Central Bank Credit Cartel (also largely Jewish, extra-jurisdictional). As such, it is quite different from any other world religion or nation state.
For this reason I think all nations should
a) make sure the Jews have their own national state somewhere with defined territory
b) prohibit dual citizenship
c) close down the BIS banking cartel
d) prohibit synagogues
e) demolish all Holocaustianity Temples Museums.

It would be better if there was a limit to the number of posts per poster per thread, say seven or eight. There are some posters who dominate the threads with volume [I don’t need to name names]. I have noticed over the last year many of my favorite posters don’t come here anymore.
People would compose better more well thought out posts if there was a limit.

*** So, Cynic, your claim is poppycock, and I am foolish to have addressed it, instead of ignoring it. I will do so for any such in future.***
Instead of swallowing what their propaganda operation tells you to (basically, that their theology and its agenda is benign) try looking under the covers at what they’d prefer you did not see.
Core parts of it are just about as malignant, supremacist, hypocritical and megalomanic as could be. Genocidal tendencies are encouraged and even celebrated.
Israeli actions are entirely consistent with that.
But have most of that religion’s adherents, supporters and collaborators actually disowned such views, rather than trying to hide them (from their intended targets) or pretend they are not there?
And if not, why not?

50 People Injured After Boeing 777 Hit With Mid-Flight “Technical Event”
the quote

Update (0927ET):
Following the LATAM Airlines 787-9 Dreamliner mid-air incident on Sunday, flight tracking website RadarBox reports a KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Boeing 777-306ER from Amsterdam to São Paulo has declared an emergency via Squawk code 7700 and is “currently diverting.”
….
Following a series of incidents involving Boeing aircraft in the US last week, a South American LATAM Airlines 787-9 Dreamliner en route from Sydney, Australia, to Auckland, New Zealand, encountered a “technical event” that led to significant turbulence, which injured at least 50 passengers.
LATAM told AP News that Flight LA800, involving a 787-9 Dreamliner, experienced a “technical event during the flight which caused a strong movement” but did not elaborate further on the incident. The local newspaper, the New Zealand Herald, explained that the plane suddenly lost altitude.

Looks like China, Russia & their BRICS friends get this fundamental law of physics -which is also a fundamental law of cooperation. It’s very common sense for most thinking people. The whole world is waiting for the west to raise it’s consciousness up to where they can recognize that we can and must get along.


“Once more, I ask all participants to think what great cooperation means. I quote an example given by the Teacher:

‘Forces which act against each other are mutually destroyed. Forces which act along parallel lines in the same direction manifest the sum of these energies, and forces which act separately are weakened, according to the angle of their divergency…. This fundamental law of physics is also a fundamental law of cooperation.’

Therefore, straighten out your divergencies so that your forces move in the same direction. Consider the consequences of divergencies. In true cooperation, no one is belittled, and he can help the better who knows and sees more. The more ignorant a person or a nation is, the less cooperation is in evidence. ”

Just a guess, Peter but do you have to have a substack account? And/or: with many substacks, whether or not the author knows it, there is a subscription requirement. However, unless they have turned off the option, one can subscribe for free to any substack. Some authors have ‘premium’ content for subscribers and public content for the riff-raff who don’t pay; other authors make everything available but politely ask for subscribers to pay (like Aurelien and, I think, Simplicius).
I suspect there is a step you are missing somewhere in there. Either you need an account with substack (free), or you need to subscribe to a particular substack (choosing the non-paying option) before being able to comment.
I have an open substack with no requirements which you can test out on: https://tinyurl.com/2b39grf9. If you cannot comment there, at least you will know it is not the author’s policy (wittingly or not). It might help you resolve the issue.

Wasting Fallujah
Scott Morris, ZNet
Wasting Fallujah
‘If there is anything that should fuel the outrage of the antiwar movement [in the US] it is surely the destruction of Fallujah and the war crimes inflicted by US commanders on its civilian population.
One year after the ‘wasting” of Fallujah the “sickening odor of rotting corpses” continues to permeate the horrid air in Iraq, and the “sickening,” swarming specter of US war crimes continues to wreak destruction across Iraq. Several questions come to the fore. What must be accomplished politically and culturally to:
(1) overcome the ease with which we remain distanced from acts of wanton cruelty and savage acts of inhumanity;
(2) apply to US leaders the same standards of law and morality we would demand of others in the face of barbaric violations of international conventions and laws;
(3) transform the institutions that give rise to so much US induced misery, suffering and death.
At what point will we demand that US leaders responsible for these crimes of war be held accountable?
What will it take to stop the US killing machine? What will it take to stop the next Fallujah?
———————–
In the Aaron Bushnell thread, poster wagelaborer wondered about the current outpouring on Gaza, whereas there was none during the Iraq genocide, rape of Libya, Afghan….?
Poster Lacku accused wagelaborer of ‘whataboutism’.
Thats completely missing the point.
If only there’r more anti war activists like Kathy Kelly, the carnage might’ve have stopped at Fallujah, for example.
BUt there was none

@denk, #114:
Nice post! Thanks for bringing up the Indonesian massacre at this point in time, because what the Zionists are doing in Gaza is pretty much the same as what the 5-eye prodded massacre in Indonesia was in 1965. Estimates of half-million Chinese perished in Indonesia was now thought of as an underestimate.
To think also, that what happened under the 5-eye mentorship upon Suharto was during an era that the 5-eyes were promoting the victimhood of the Jews to justify the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, shedding crocodile tears and rallying sympathy for those poor victims of Holocaust.
Lucifer cried “Lucifer” on the one hand while did what Lucifer does on the other. This is testimony to the “Christian” souls of the 5-eyes, speaking louder than the Deep Purple concert in Tokyo that supposedly broke the sound record. I shudder at the thought that these folks are still fervently at work, and still massively endowed economically as well militarily, in the Middle East (Syria, Libya, Fallujah…), Southeast Asia, and the Cauldron Country abutting Russia.
I’m not religious, but I sure hope the conception of karma will come to pass upon Lucifer’s children in my life time.

Review of book by Chinese American:

Now along comes Xi Van Fleet, who lived through the horrors of Mao’s “cultural revolution” in China before miraculously escaping to America as a young woman, who has written the important book Mao’s America: A Survivor’s Warning. Like Yuri Maltsev who lived through Soviet totalitarianism, Van Fleet is horrified that the exact same thing – a Marxist revolution – is occurring in her adopted country (where she is now a citizen). The parallels between Mao’s “cultural revolution” and the American “woke” cultural revolution are striking and sometimes shocking. The puppet masters of the woke cultural revolution are Maoist communists, through and through.

And there’s quite a bit more….

TUCKER Carlson is one on his own. Never more so than since he set up his own media platform. Hot on the heels of his historic encounter with Vladimir Putin he has just conducted another groundbreaking interview, this time with a man no one has heard of, Michael Benz, who worked at the US State Department in the Cyber Division.
Several people who contacted me about it over the weekend described it as one of the most disturbing and eye-opening interviews they have ever seen. I sat down to watch it myself. And yes, I think it may be the most important and detailed exposition I have come across to explain the West’s ‘oppositionless’ transformation from liberal democracy into autocracy – under our very eyes without a shot being fired and, not least, for the scale, the depth and the detail of the analysis. How Obama’s military censorship network led the 2019 impeachment of Trump is but one example of this transformation process. But who knew that, years before this, Google began as a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) grant? I didn’t. One such fact drops after another – information we all ought to be aware of, underlining how ill-informed we actually are.
The bottom line is that Benz provides the clearest evidence yet that Americans (and the rest of the West) are being censored and manipulated at the highest levels of government, specifically by the defence establishment’s exploitation of the internet and social media.
Because the interview is so dense and covers so much ground in an hour – the transcript runs to 10,000 words and none of them is wasted – we have decided to publish it in segments over the next few days.

https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/how-america-turned-on-its-own-people-another-astonishing-tucker-carlson-interview/
This article breaks down Tucker C’s interview with Benz into five parts with transcripts of the over one hour long conversation so for those, like myself, who don’t like long videos, here it is broken down into bite-sized chunks. It is an extremely unusual break-down of how the information war waged by the USG against its own citizenry operates. No doubt some is disinformation and many things are left out altogether, but what it does explain is unprecedented.
Plus the notion that there is an ongoing struggle within the elites makes more and more sense….

Reports on new or recent legislation in several US States penalizing ‘hate speech’ including one recent Washington law that will pay online users $2000 for reporting violations they see.

Senate Bill 5427, after it is signed into law, would allow private individuals (note: this is not limited to American citizens) to report “bias incidents*” (see definition below) to the State Attorney General’s Office, with the possibility of receiving up to $2,000 of taxpayers money for this noncriminal incident. The bill was very clear: this is a non-crime which they will then forward to local law enforcement to investigate. What’s to investigate? No crime, no investigation.
The Progressives & Marxists who sponsored this bill say it is intended to help “victims of hate crimes” before a crime even happens. Say what? In reality, SB 5427 would create a “tattletale hotline,” undermine legitimate criminal investigations, and freeze, not just chill, speech & the press in Washington State. People will stop talking to others and writing to others except very close friends & relatives, for fear a greedy “Karen” will report them to Washington’s version of the Gestapo.

The article also reports on similar legislation in NY, Michigan and Canada.

Trudeau’s bill is called Bill C-63, and it’s a “hate crime bill” that primarily affects “social media” and essentially “criminalizes a human emotion.”
“If you have quote ‘fear of hate’ … you can get a judge to issue a kind of restraining order against your enemy before he does anything, before he says anything, and that restraining order can include house arrest, giving up any lawful firearms, limiting who he can talk to directly or indirectly, limiting the places he can go, and requiring him to to take urine and blood tests – just because you are quote ‘afraid’ he might in the future say some hate speech,” he explains, adding that the so-called perpetrator “doesn’t have to have done anything in the past” to be required to go through the process, making it “a pre-crime bill.”
By signing up, you agree to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, and agree to receive content that may sometimes include advertisements. You may opt out at any time.
But that’s just the beginning of Trudeau’s oppressive legislation.
The bill also proposes “that anyone in Canada, even noncitizens, can file hate speech complaints against anyone, and if they’re successful, they get $20,000 from the target, and the target has to pay a fine of up to $50,000,” Ezra adds.
Because the bill primarily impacts social media, “if there’s anyone who has a YouTube video, a Tweet, a Facebook comment that you think creates hate, you can go to the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal and complain about it. You don’t have to hire a lawyer, you don’t have to spend any money; the government will have the hearing, and if your complaint is upheld, you get 20 grand.”
“Wait, wait, wait. Who gets the remaining 30?” asks Glenn.
“20 goes to the complainant, and an additional 50 goes to the government, so you’re on the hook for 70 grand,” Ezra says, adding that the bill also “applies to all of your historical work that’s online – so long as it is still online and you control it. “
“They can go back through your history five years, ten years … and complain about literally every tweet you [made], literally every YouTube video,” he says, adding that “this will bankrupt any critic of the regime.”
And yet somehow, it gets even worse.
“You can make a complaint in secret, and the target of your complaint never gets to know your identity,” says Ezra. “This is all in Bill C-63, and when you take it all together, this is the most draconian, anti-free speech bill anywhere in the world, other than I suppose Iran and China who just do this stuff naturally.”
And to top it off, “they’ve created a stand-alone hate crime law” that could result in “life in prison.”
To learn what this bill means for Canadian conservatives like Ezra and Jordan Peterson and how likely it is to pass in Parliament, watch the clip below.

Jews: a cosmopolitan, materialist, messianic tribe.
There is no other intra, inter and extra jurisdictional collective like it, with the possible exception of criminal groups like Yakuza, tongs, mafia, Russian mobs (all of which are Jewish), not to mention the Central Bank Credit Cartel (also largely Jewish, extra-jurisdictional). As such, it is quite different from any other world religion or nation state.
For this reason I think all nations should
a) make sure the Jews have their own national state somewhere with defined territory
b) prohibit dual citizenship
c) close down the BIS banking cartel
d) prohibit synagogues
e) demolish all Holocaustianity Temples Museums.

With due respect:
You claim that:
“One should not forget that one consequence of the managerial revolution is the shift in historical patterns of leadership. Political leaders no longer require the criteria of birth, class, and wealth that once gave them the (perceived) leisured aloofness from ‘interests’ to be able to embody their emerging nations. Across the 19th and early 20th c. Capital required government to be management of its interests; as owners receded from control to become passive shareholders, Boards and Executive Officers emerged as a new ruling class, as much in bureaucracy, academia and government as industry, banking and mining.”
——————————————-
For the purpose of unraveling your thesis:
Are the individuals who have gained control of millions, in time and space, idiots?
“Now, of course, it is a truism that only ‘certain kinds of people’—sociopaths—ascend to the top positions. It requires a cunning, brutality, lack of empathy, a single-minded view of power as its own end, complete moral emptiness, ruthlessness, shallow and opportunistic relationships with others and, above all, a willingness to leave a trail of bodies. They often also possess a shameless belief in their own infallibility. They respect only greater force and domination. The upper management of all contemporary institutions show these traits in spades. Biden, Trump, right, left, everywhere.
They are in these positions precisely because they are incapable of experiencing either shame or humiliation. The only way to free ourselves is to treat them all like malignant tumors. Our contempt for them must be stronger and purer, not individual, but collective, not personal, but messianic and righteous, not to understand them, but to burn them out, root and branch.”
——————————–
But, you are the same with other clothes:
You…, what you want is to burn, exactly the same as those you criticize: the frying pan told the saucepan, the pot calling the kettle black.
Messianic? Righteous?
Don’t they think they are fair? Don’t they think they are going to save those who deserve it?
Two wrongs do not make a right. The means to make an end, a marvelous purpose in your mind, depend on the means: if you use the same process to the same objective (emotional confrontation, arguing by the feel of to be right), you are done, because, as the Zionism genocides, you think is right to burn others to be right: Zadock.

AI emotions. Interesting. When I made. Sci-fi mod decades ago, I realized we take for granted many things, and trying to “mechanize them” requires answering philosophical questions of our experience.
Emotions, for example, are not controllable. If they become controllable, they are no longer emotions but thoughts.
And emotions are a cut-to-subroutine, if you will, of the subconscious. So an AI to have emotions would mean an AI that could be driven to a different algorithm by certain triggers.
I guess, in the future, we could have patrolling bots that would be on “battery life conservation” mode, employing mostly senses, most energy efficient cruise speed, etc, until a threat is assessed, at which time it goes into a “survival” state.
Does it “feel” adrenaline? Warming of the skin, etc? Of course not, but it will perhaps note its is getting hotter, and be told to temporarily ignore those sensors.
In time, I think, AI will be a new lifeform. Self propagating, perhaps even core survival of fittest evolution and “sexual” reprogramming of newer models, (although it could choose thousands of “mates” for prototype creation).
Its reproduction, perhaps more akin to insectoid, (queen ant factory, drone mass production, with selective prototype creation), and it may find many new ways of production, beyond metal or plastic.
Really, once AIs start training each other, (and fighting), I dont see how they could not be considered new life forms.
I imagine, in a millenia or two, the galaxy will be full of these life forms, and humanity itself unrecognizable. Likely designer babies, mostly immortal, and designed for hostile environments, and quite passionless, as ritalin and xanax now aim to achieve.
That is if we dont destroy ourselves, or create our own destruction.

Canada is unusually over-represented in the “died suddenly” weekly recaps.
He also includes suicides.
P.S., I doubt most are vaccine related, as the blog wants to push, but, it is interesting to see how many young people are “dying suddenly”. Many you can tell by picture it was likely suicide or OD, (I have a keen tweeker sense), but there are also others not so explainable.
I think it may be vaccines, covid, and toxic diets, lifestyles, medications.

Citizens report out of hate/rivalry, ideological synergy helps, cash rewards help, and most of all, fear of punishment for not reporting. Put all three ingredients together and you have a collaborator citizenry.

I am aware of how the internet, and in respect to that blog, conglomeration of daya creates a lens which magnifies pre-conceived notions.
That is why I cast a weary eye. But I have a morbid fascination, and I always would read obituaries when i was a paperboy.
It can not be denied average life expectancy has taken a dramatic turn down in the west.
When someone below 50 dies, it will almost always be “unexpected”. Youth suicide* is up, as is overdose. Health is poorer than ever, esp. because of obesity.
*Youth suicide has always been much lower than 50 year old+ suicide, it just gets way more attention.

Your feeling: they are dying and I’m alive is the consequence of your fear to die. You feel better when you see your compañones goes down. Try to live for your family. The best you can do is enjoy your time with the people you love for.
Everyone has to die. The problem is not the time you waste to be go through, it’s the time you enjoy with your family, the time your heart is around those unique spirits you never see around. The love is because I want to be with my daughter and her mother, always. I love she and she forever.
Forever.

NEW: 62-year-old Boeing whistleblower John Barnett found dead in his truck after he didn’t show up for a legal interview linked to a case against Boeing.
Barnett worked for Boeing for 32 years and retired in 2017. After retiring, Barnett spoke out about how Boeing was cutting corners on their airplanes.
Just days before his death, Barnett gave evidence in a lawsuit against Boeing.
Barnett accused Boeing of “deliberately fitting sub-standard parts” on their aircraft.
He also accused Boeing of having faulty oxygen systems, saying one in four breathing masks would *not* work in an emergency situation.
Barnett said new plane builds were rushed. When he brought his concerns forward, they were allegedly ignored by the company.
When he died, Barnett was in Charleston for interviews linked to a case against Boeing.
He was supposed to come back for more questioning on Saturday but did not show up. Inquiries were made to his hotel where Barnett was found dead in his car in the parking lot.
Police are investigating Barnett’s death but say he died from a “self-inflicted” wound.
The video below was a recent interview Barnett had with TMZ.
Totally normal.”

MI6 which concocted the TAM hoax was up to its dirty tricks again , framing
Chinese Indonesians as 5th columns….

On 5 October, Alec Adams, political adviser to the Commander-in-Chief, Far East, advised the Foreign Office: “We should have no hesitation in doing what we can surreptitiously to blacken the PKI in the eyes of the army and the people of Indonesia.” The Foreign Office agreed and suggested “suitable propaganda themes” such as PKI atrocities and Chinese intervention.
the British emphasised the Chinese nature of the communist threat. Roland Challis said: “One of the more successful things which the West wished on to the non-communist politicians in Indonesia was to transfer the whole idea of communism onto the Chinese minority in Indonesia. It turned it into an ethnic thing. It is a terrible thing to have done to incite the Indonesians to rise and slaughter the Chinese.”

Their gringo cousins supplied the ‘evidence’,

U.S. officials were particularly interested in linking the September 30th plotters to Beijing. They helped to spread stories about China’s alleged involvement and reported on caches of weapons purportedly “discovered” by the Indonesian army with the hammer and sickle conveniently stamped on them. We have bonanza chance to nail chicoms on disastrous events in Indonesia,” Green wrote the State Department. He urged a “continuation [of] covert propaganda” as one of the “best means of spreading [the] idea of chicom complicity,” an allegation still being put forth by former U.S. officials forty years later.22 Such efforts, intended or not, also encouraged attacks against Indonesia’s indigenous Chinese minority and businessmen

‘Should we assume that the killing will continue so long as the assumed benefits, as noted, are not outweighed by the costs, and costs include multiple forms of dissent at home? So long as resistance and opposition remain relatively quiescent, so long as actions are not carried out that raise the costs for elites and planners, will the killing continue? Should we assume that the killing will continue to be a price worth paying for the leadership and elites who have most to gain from the policies, even as those same policies ensure a further escalation in the dialectics of violence between state militarism and non-state terrorism?’

STATEMENT BY CONGRESSMAN JOHN JAMES AGAINST SOUTH AFRICA
“I am proud to lead the U.S.-South Africa Bilateral Relations Review Act in the House with my Democrat colleague Jared Moskowitz.
South Africa has been building ties to countries and actors that undermine America’s national security and threaten our way of life through its military and political cooperation with China and Russia and its support of U.S.-designated terrorist organization Hamas.
Under this current administration, America has been put last, leaving our allies and partners beholden to dictators and despots in Beijing and Moscow for critical needs like energy.To ensure America’s energy security and national security, we must examine our alliances and disentangle from those who remain willing to work with our adversaries.”

The USA is making my South Africa an example for those small countries who dare to have relations with Hamas, Russia and China. The Cold War never ended but this is proof it’s in full swing again. Biden is supposed to have made a decision on the Bill 6 days ago.
The immediate threat, and maybe its only purpose, is the possible influence it’ll have on our elections in May, the most important and divisive since 1994.

– I would like to point out that the future of NATO hinges on the ECONOMIC future of th US. The US is the most important country of NATO. And we all know that the US is “not in the best of financial shapes” (to put it friendly). I hear too many times that the NATO will be around / continue to exist for – at least for the next 10, 20 or more years. I am NOT so sure of that. I could imagine that the US could be “toast” within 1, 2, 3 years (or any amount of years of one’s chosing) and then NATO is “toast” as well.

Re “Decline of the West”, what is “the West”? What is “decline”? For a lot of writers decline begins when they realize they are not young any more, their favorite music is no longer in fashion, etc.

(re laws banning free speech + incentivising informers)
*** The article also reports on similar legislation in NY, Michigan and Canada.
The noose is tightening…***
Plus other countries including the UK.
Pretty obvious it is a NATO initiative.
So — as if it wasn’t already clear enough — NATO “values” and “democracy” include keeping the public under constant surveillance … outlawing and punishing anything not entirely in agreement with those who rule … and encouraging and bribing everyone to inform on each other (while most assuredly not encouraging ‘whistle-blowers’) not only about what is already done or said, but what possibly might be said or done at some undefined future date, ever.
Welcome to their panopticon.

The joint US Israeli base that is being or is to be built within gaza, without outside intervention spells the extermination of Palestinans in Gaza. Without that, Hamas military wing and some civilians had reasonable chance of seeing the Zionists of. US deep state it seems intends to have that fait acompli under the outgoing Biden for when conservative hope and change Trump is installed for the war on China. Sickening.
The Euro twits along with the Brits now cooking something up to try and keep Russia occupied when US launches its war on China…
I would guess that under the new hope and change, the homosexuals wearing female uniforms will be booted out and the US military will again recruit from its traditional base which seems to be Rural and bible belt America to get the numbers.
Stormy geopolitical weather coming.

While he is not, to my knowledge, running for president, Col. Douglas McGregor has issued his own version of State-of-the-Union address, covering all topics, not just military ones. 11 minutes.

Highly suggest Pepe Escobar’s latest which is a recap of Chinese developments, “Confident Dragon Lays Out Modernization Roadmap”.

Thanks, karlof1 @
And thanks to Pepe. Foreign Minister Wang Yi is giving Foreign Minister Lavrov a run for their yen/ruble partnership rhetoric prize:
“It is impermissible that those with the bigger fist have the final say, and it is definitely unacceptable that certain countries must be at the table while others can only be on the menu.”

That was karlof1 at | Mar 12 2024 23:35 utc | 169, sorry!

Something went wrong – my previous comment has disappeared – sorry. I will repost.
I said thanks to karlof1 at | Mar 12 2024 23:35 utc | 169, and then posted that Wang Yi had said words to compete with Lavrov in the field of rhetorical excellence. The post registered as posted, except my acknowledgement to karlof1 hadn’t been completed – my error.
And I also in the absented post thanked Pepe. You are both major stars in my firmament. I encourage all to read what Pepe posted of Wang Yi’s delicate phrasing of a familiar subject.

@ karlof1 | Mar 12 2024 23:35 utc | 169 with the latest Pepe link…thanks
From it

Wang Yi once again stressed that Beijing favors an “equal and orderly” multipolar world and “inclusive economic globalization”.
And of course he could not allow U.S. Secretary of State Little Blinken – always out of his depth – to get away with his latest “recipe”: “It is impermissible that those with the bigger fist have the final say, and it is definitely unacceptable that certain countries must be at the table while others can only be on the menu.”

Some seriously strong language there that one would hope might get read in the West.

Over on the current Ukraine thread, a post by Echo Chamber | Mar 12 2024 19:59 utc | 77 got me thinking.
Therein he recounts his run-in on twitter with high-level ex bureaucrats from the US/EU who’d been involved with design of the infamous “sanctions from hell” which backfired. As reported by him, only 15mins after encounter with his powerful MMT truthing, they understood what had gone wrong. They then run away and got him banned, and the twitter protocols of the instant are pending.
It’s hard not to quip a little that twitter is likely a better forum for Echo Chamber’s MMT truthing because there is less space available to belittle his readers, upsetting them completely before his truthing takes the desired effects; but I’ll leave it at that. My point is another one:
Until now I believed that banking cartel/cult was exerting systematic influence over western policy, though it’s unclear exactly how many strings and levers they have at their disposal to work things. However, it appears quite clear that the more pwer they exert, the more sophisticated their means of influence must be; that woudl include not just more and more stringent schemes of blackmeil etc, but also possession of a higher level grand strategy, complete with leading situational awareness, response flexibility, and possibly also a hidden hand of hi-tech and other knowledge (like true history, suppressed prophets’s knowledge, mind control techniques, insight on paranormal phenomena, etc).
Now, since wealth accumulation is obviously a feature of capitalism, not a bug, I had always thought the related schemes would be the day to day, bread-and-butter work of the cultists …
But how comes, then, that they produce a blunder of such epic proportions – ?!?
There are not many good hypothesis available; among is their assumed plain stupidity. While that is certainly possible in many areas of policy, is it really conceivable that this would happen in their core field of enacting dominance? – If that could be affirmed, how then can the idea that a banking cult was pulling the strings behind the curtain of western politics still stand? More specifically, who exactly put up the Biden puppet against such strong resistance, and to what ends?
The question is, depending on answer, potentially very important. I would love to hear ylour clues and insights on the angle, and concurrently put this question on a long-term agenda here at the bar for further exploration.
It’s a very complex and difficult topic. It also does not rest on Echo Chamber’s anecdote alone, and not even on the veracity of his favourite angle of looking at things.
