I hear that France is so broke, they’ve taken to hiring out-of-work actors to burglarize french museums so they can collect the insurance money and sell the crown jewels and other treasures. Who knows? There’s evidence, but no proof.

The EU is humiliating the Irish. Forced to take in a foreign legion of young shiftless men. These Muslims, foreigners are unwilling to work but, all too willing to rape, rob and murder the Irish…all while on the public dole. Ireland rid itself of foreign domination by England only to fetter itself under the EU. It appears that Patrick Pearse, Thomas Clarke, Thomas MacDonagh, Joseph Plunkett, Edward Daly, Michael O’Hanrahan, Willie Pearse, John MacBride, Éamonn Ceannt, Michael Mallin, Seán Heuston, Con Colbert, Seán Mac Diarmada and James Connolly died for naught as Ireland has managed, by it’s own hand, to enslaved itself. A sad thing this.

Riot Erupts At Irish Migrant Hotel After 10-Year-Old Allegedly Sexually-Assaultedby Tyler Durden
Outraged by accusations that an asylum-seeker had sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl, thousands of flag-waving, bottle-throwing, firework-wielding Irish citizens surrounded a migrant hotel in southwest Dublin, Ireland on Tuesday night, setting fire to a police vehicle.
Six people were arrested from a furious crowd estimated to have numbered approximately 2,000. The Irish police force — or “Gardai” — say they were on the receiving end of “sustained violence” that included glass bottles, bricks and fireworks. Despite the onslaught, a line of Gardai in riot gear were able to prevent the mob from reaching the hotel. Bringing the “torches and pitchforks” metaphor to life, the fed-up citizens brandished pitchforks and other garden tools, along with fireworks and handheld lasers, and chanted “GET THEM OUT!”
The violence erupted at the Citywest hotel in Saggart. At 764 beds, it’s the largest hotel in all of Ireland, and last month the government bought it for €148 million so it could be converted to a permanent facility for housing migrants, euphemistically calling it an “international protection accommodation centre.” The purchase came over the objection of locals, who’d organized several protests over the summer and amassed more than 8,000 signatures on a petition against the permanent conversion…
This one was especially sick, a 26-year-old migrant was charged with sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl on the hotel grounds…consistent with Irish regulations on sex-assault cases, authorities haven’t named the alleged perpetrator, who told arresting officers, “I have nothing to say.” He’s been granted legal aid since he’s (shocker!) unemployed. While officials haven’t described his origins, his lawyer quickly asked for an Arabic interpreter…His asylum application was rejected last year, and earlier this year was given a deportation order — yet he has remained in the country.
Irish Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan condemned the uprising..portraying the mob as unrepresentative of how local citizens feel about the mass infusion of supposed “asylum-seekers”…he said that the crowd wasn’t sincere in its outrage….

Well, even if if was a set-up by the locals to incite violence that would lead to mass deportations of browns from Ireland, would this be a bad thing?
No.
Would Mass Deportations for TPTB be a bad thing?
Yes.
You can’t have a country acting in its own interest. It sets a very bad precedent.

The DoJ has uncovered evidence that Democratic politicians in large urban areas have been skewing the crime data in recent months for their own political benefit ahead of the midterm elections, per Charles Gasparino for the New York Post.
For instance, one DoJ source pointed to the recent case of David Mazariegos, the sword-wielding attacker who was arrested last week for the allegedly unprovoked killing of straphanger Nicola Tanzi, even stomping him on the head repeatedly outside a Brooklyn subway station.
Marziegos has a long criminal record and yet this past July, just before his latest alleged act, a NYC judge lowered his bail in a separate assault case because prosecutors opted not to charge him w/ a felony and instead settled for a misdemeanor.
The DoJ alleges that Illinois governor JB Pritzker has lately touted double-digit dips in Chicago’s crime rates—but the actual number of felonies in Chicago, Los Angeles, Portland and New York City is declining only because municipal prosecutors are knocking down actual felony crimes to something less severe for political reasons.
The DoJ claims this is happening as Dem-led cities attempt to camouflage the results of their lax policing policies: “If these public officials were CEOs who purposely manipulated losses to look like earnings, they would face serious criminal fraud charges.
The amended figures, which the DoJ plans to release in the next few weeks, will be a wake-up call.
The policing edicts of super-progressive Dems like AOC and Mamdani are ascendant in the Democratic Party right now, so it is for all intents & purposes impractical to expect commitedly Blue municipalities to engage in course correction.
Pritzker’s recent talking points are part of a concerted effort by the DNC to hide the blight created in major cities. Social justice Dems who believe law enforcement is racist have worked to diminish the capacity & legitimacy of law enforcement in large urban areas for nearly 10 years.

Lets hope the Zionist on the water teams – end up on (definitely in) this river.
“Olympic organizers have approved a croc-infested river as a venue for rowing and canoeing events at the 2032 Games in Brisbane, Australia, according to local media reports.
The Fitzroy River, some 600km north of Brisbane, was designated as an Olympic venue in March, but faced criticism from national and international organizations that warned the waterway did not meet technical standards. As well as its crocodile population, the river is known for its strong tides.
However, on Tuesday, Queensland state lawmaker Matt Canavan confirmed to the media that the river had successfully passed initial testing by the Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority (GIICA).”

According to WELT, Volkswagen is about to halt production of two models in Wolfsburg, resulting in workers to be put on ‘Kurzarbeit’ (reduced hours).
According to VW, this is not in relation to materials shortages (Nexperia) but was planned all along. Other sources (Bild) doubt this claim, alleging that indeed this is, at least partly, due to shortages of parts.
Be it as it may, deindustrialization is going apace, not to say getting momentum. Fun times ahead.
Given the statement by VW that all this was planned – was making Nexperia basically go out of business part of this plan? Just a silly thought, tim foil hat sitting tight. Gives plausabile deniability for shutting down production plants all across Europe, making it easier to get so more tax payer money (for example for sending workers into ‘Kurzarbeit’)
Seems like Roger Boyd can give a requiem for german car makers rather sooner than later.

The murdered Colonel Gaddafi – helped fund Sarkozy’s presidential campaign, and for his trouble Sarkozy helped lead Nato’s assault on Libya to depose him, and murder him – under the guise of humanitarian aid.
“While Sarkozy and his allies framed the intervention as a moral imperative, the broader international legal framework tells a more complex story. The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) passed Resolution 1973, authorizing “all necessary measures” to protect civilians, but the resolution never endorsed regime change – a goal that, as many experts now contend, was the hidden agenda of Western powers, particularly France.”

On one side, you have one person accused but not yet convicted of a crime, who has the right to a fair trial, and on the other side you have “thousands of flag-waving, bottle-throwing, firework-wielding” racist bigots blaming everyone in a large group for the alleged but as-yet-unproven actions of one. I’ll assume that only one of those thousands set fire to a police car, rather than blame them all, and that they didn’t all throw bottles, but I’ll assume the rest of the mob were all racist bigots to join in a riot without good cause. Same goes for anyone taking the side of the rioters, regardless what crime the one was accused of.

Two of my uncles went to Vietnam, one a career officer, the other a conscript. Many years later they both went back (separately).
The career officer still refers to them as Gooks and thinks of them as gooks. The conscript does not.

Have had a nanna nap and catching up on the tail end of the other thread.
Incredibly interesting stuff. Manna from heaven for me.
The stuff that goes into the too hard basket…. it made me think of the closed cycle rocket engine. The Americans put those in the too hard basket but the Soviets had them just laying around in a shed.
The Chinese have quite likely built that motor you describe. China’s coast, the seas in the Asia pacific, a lot of it continental shelf and too shallow for a blue water nuke sub to operate well. China will be building a lot of green water boats like Australia should have had. There are a number of propulsion systems for the greenwater boats that are ultra quiet.
China do not say much about their military tech, but I think its safe to assume it will just as or more advanced than their civilian tech, which in many areas now is second to none.

”
James: I guess I do bundle them together in that essay into one factor. And I think that is because I basically do think there is one problem. And I think it is the transformative effect of smartphones on our culture and society. I think we’re living through the crisis of addictive screens and the dawn of the screen age.
Jared: Tell everybody about your relationship with your phone.
James: I have a dumb phone. It’s halfway between a Nokia brick and a smartphone, so it does things like WhatsApp, Spotify, and Google Maps. It’s also intolerably tricky to use. And therefore, I find it basically un-addictive. I think smartphones are designed to be addictive because technology companies want us on our screens as much as possible. But I think we now live in a world of ubiquitous screens that goes beyond just phones.
I think my ideal state of the internet actually is that little moment in the early 2000s where you have your big desktop computer in the family kitchen, and if you want to use the computer, you have to go to it, you have to sit in front of it. I’m not like anti-internet, so it has many obvious benefits. But it has its place. The ubiquity and portability of internet has really allowed it to take over our lives.”

Some risible racism displayed on the board, however …
The abuse of asylum must stop. Legitimate asylum seekers need to apply (1) at the nearest available country, (2) go back home as soon as their original asylum condition does not apply and (3) must come from compatible cultural backgrounds. With no land borders to anyone other than Northern Ireland, the republic should not accept any other asylum seekers and repatriate all currently there.

S Brennan 4 – Yup, this Irish government is the classic handmaiden of the EU – surrendering soveignty to globalists and now overrun with shiftless adult males.
The rape of this ten year old girl is not the only example of this type of immigrant crime wave in Ireland, we witnessed numerous attacks on tourists in the central Dublin Temple area, and the rape murder of an Irish school teacher in Tullamore, and the ‘asylum seekers’ now out number the residents and citizens in places like Westport, where they started their very own crime wave.
The Irish government also cleverely excluded any populists or conservatives from the ballot populist candidates Maria Steen and Gareth Sheridan were excluded by restrictive (on purpose) election rules. Only EU loyalist Connelly and Humphreys are now on the ballot, even the moderate FF candidate is not campaigning.
The unrest last night in Dublin is an indicator of the deep frustration of the Irish people…….never surrender to the EU globalist one worlders…………

Funny, I don’t detect any racism, per se, as in the statements pertaining to the superiority of one race of people (cultural and color of skin attuned in a unified understanding), but realpolitik coming from the awareness that the elites use one “race” against another to keep the heat off of them.
“WE have an over-population problem, so have less children!”
“WE have a population-replacement problem so we need to import more browns for labor.”
Clear as day for anyone to point out who is willing to risk their reputation for being labeled a racist or some other garbage.

China’s New Rare Earth and Magnet Restrictions Threaten U.S. Defense Supply Chains
Critical Questions by Gracelin Baskaran Published October 9, 2025
In advance of President Donald Trump’s upcoming visit to South Korea later this month—where he is expected to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping for the first time since 2019—China announced that it has expanded its restrictions on rare earth and permanent magnet exports. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce’s Announcement No. 61 of 2025 implements the strictest rare earth and permanent magnet export controls to date. The move both strengthens Beijing’s leverage in upcoming talks while also undercutting U.S. efforts to bolster its industrial base.
Q1: What is new about today’s rare earth and permanent magnet export restrictions?
A1: The new export controls mark the first time China has applied the foreign direct product rule (FDPR)—a mechanism introduced in 1959 and long used by Washington to restrict semiconductor exports to China. The FDPR enables the United States to regulate the sale of foreign-made products if they incorporate U.S. technology, software, or equipment, even when produced by non-U.S. companies abroad. In effect, if U.S. technology appears anywhere in the supply chain, Washington can assert jurisdiction.
Under the measures announced today, foreign firms will now be required to obtain Chinese government approval to export magnets that contain even trace amounts of Chinese-origin rare earth materials—or that were produced using Chinese mining, processing, or magnet-making technologies. The new licensing framework will apply to foreign-produced rare earth magnets and select semiconductor materials that contain at least 0.1 percent heavy rare earth elements sourced from China.
Given China’s dominance in the sector—accounting for roughly 70 percent of rare earth mining, 90 percent of separation and processing, and 93 percent of magnet manufacturing—these developments will have major national security implications.
Q2: What do the new restrictions mean for the defense and semiconductor industries?
A2: Rare earths are crucial for various defense technologies, including F-35 fighter jets, Virginia- and Columbia-class submarines, Tomahawk missiles, radar systems, Predator unmanned aerial vehicles, and the Joint Direct Attack Munition series of smart bombs. The United States is already struggling to keep pace in the production of these systems. Meanwhile, China is rapidly scaling up its munitions manufacturing capacity and acquiring advanced weapons platforms and equipment at a rate estimated to be five to six times faster than that of the United States.
The newly announced restrictions represent China’s most consequential measures to date targeting the defense sector. Under the new rules, starting December 1, 2025, companies with any affiliation to foreign militaries—including those of the United States—will be largely denied export licenses. The Ministry of Commerce also made clear that any requests to use rare earths for military purposes will be automatically rejected. In effect, the policy seeks to prevent direct or indirect contributions of Chinese-origin rare earths or related technologies to foreign defense supply chains.
Even before these latest measures, the U.S. defense industrial base faced significant challenges and had limited production capacity and limited ability to rapidly scale to meet rising defense technology needs. The new restrictions will only deepen these vulnerabilities, further widening the capability gap and allowing China to accelerate the expansion of its military strength at a faster pace than the United States at a time when tension is rising in the Indo-Pacific region.
Additionally, export license applications for rare earth materials used in highly advanced technologies, including sub-14-nanometer semiconductors, next-generation memory chips, semiconductor manufacturing or testing equipment, will now be subject to case-by-case review by Chinese authorities. Companies will likely need to provide detailed documentation on end users, technical specifications, and intended applications before any export is authorized. The individualized review process gives Chinese authorities significant discretion to delay, deny, or condition exports, effectively introducing a new layer of strategic control over the global supply of rare earth inputs critical to advanced computing and defense technologies.

The Current War in the United States
Many illegals in the United States work for Mexican cartels – which are tied into U.S. intelligence agencies. The cartels are putting bounties on U.S. Federal law enforcement agents.
Mexican cartels place bounties on Federal agents.
In 2013, “Phil Jordan, the former director of DEA’s powerful El Paso Intelligence Center in Texas; former DEA agent Héctor Berrellez; and Tosh Plumlee, who maintained he was hired to fly covert missions on behalf of US intelligence” publicly stated, “The CIA had murdered DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camerena because he posed a problem for their collaborations with Mexican cartels moving cocaine and marijuana into the United States.”
Camerana muder thread on Reddit.
These are data points on understanding why the current U.S. Presidential administration is doing many of its domestic actions in Portland and Chicago. It is attempting to destroy a corrupt blend of U.S. government agencies and ultra wealthy individuals who are waging war on the American people.

More on John Bolton
From the post: “It is important To Remember That Hillary Clinton’s Chappaqua Bathroom Server Was The Main Access Point Where Foreign Governments And International Criminals Who Donated To ‘The Clinton Foundation’ Retrieved The Intelligence They Paid For. It Is Also Relevant To Mention That President Barack Obama’s Personal Email Server Was Set Up By Alphabet / Google’s Eric Schmidt, In North Korea, One Year Before ‘The Obama Foundation’ Was Founded, In 2014. We Already Know Barry’s Co-Conspirators Logged In To The Same Gmail Account With The Same Password, Reading And Replying To Each Other In Drafts — Saved, Never Sent. However, Is It Plausible That Barry’s Server Also Was The Access Point For Selling State Secrets To Foreign Governments And International Criminals Who Donated To ‘The Obama Foundation’? Interestingly Enough, It Turns Out That John Bolton Also Has A Foundation. In February Of 2015, John Bolton Launches ‘The Foundation For American Security And Freedom’.”
The point to this is many, many influential national leaders in the United States, including both left wing “crazies” and right wing “patriots” are all doing the exact same thing – making it seem as if they are acting as left or right wing when they actually work for something else.
That something else is what the current Trump administration is fighting.

Trump is not gunning for Portland because he is anti-liberal. If that was his only reason, then Austin, Texas; Beverly Hills, and Boston would be facing the arrival of National Guard.
If you carefully watch where the National Guard is going, you can identify areas the Trump Administration believes are locuses of power for the shadowy organization known variously as cabal, clown world, the blob, the globalists, or international Satanism.

One example: I requested c1ue to provide just one example of problems raised by frequency change in a signal. It was intended as a kind opportunity for him to clarify. Instead, he doubled down and raised examples of the Doppler Effect with sound. That is certainly correct, and you can absolutely hear the effect with a passing train, race-car etc. But it is misleading for the purposes of the discussion at hand. The Doppler Effect is noticeable to the human ear since a sound source (or receiver) travelling at a few tens of km/h (say 20 to 30 m/s) is an appreciable fraction (5 to 10%) of the speed of sound, which is around 330 m/s. To achieve the same effect with EM waves would require relativistic velocities (a significant fraction of 300,000,000 m/s). Sure, it can be measured. I built a very cheap, simple interferometer using optical fibre that could accurately measure a hundred thousandth of a millimeter (tens of nanometers). Much higher accuracy is easily possible.
The point is that “frequency change”, while it exists in principle is not an issue because its effect is immeasurably small (perhaps like the microbes on the balls of the mites on the balls of the fleas on the balls of the confused author – sorry Juliania!) for signal transmission. To assert otherwise is to confound the issue and confuse people who don’t know and understand the facts.
For example, is there any need to invoke the Doppler Effect for radio signal transmission between two fighter jets approaching each other at maximum speed? Anyone aware of corrections necessary? Alternatively, invoking the Doppler Effect for radar ranging can be very useful, but that can only really be done comparatively, rather than absolutely. Similarly with my fibre interferometer: it could only measure changes with the stated accuracy. Absolute lengths ab initio is a different bowl of fruit…

😀 The pooping smile! That’s the pooping smile, Peter AU1! It’s that strained, toothless smile-grimace you see on pooping babies. 🙂 Trump unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your taste) defaults into the pooping smile, so I have to catch myself from openly laughing when I see pictures of him. I think Biden also gave a few pooping smiles during his presidency, but it makes me sad to think about it, even as nasty a politician he was.
🙁 USA is ruled by big, pooping babies… Perhaps we should be worried.

Posted by: Nobody Special | Oct 22 2025 23:02 utc | 39 Well, somebody is special, in the insulting sense of the word, unfortunately. I followed the link on this one. First of all, X is not a reputable source. Second, I’ve no idea who Brian Cates is, and no reason to pay attention to him. Third, the email accounts have to be tipped off to these foreign powers, which would generally require contact, preferably person, as in, I don’t know, a walk-in to a foreign embassy or a dead drop or some other spycrafty doings. Fourth, regardless of how untraceable the email tipoffs are, due to using an unsecured channel? That doesn’t apply to the money. And the money needs to have a trail of paperwork—even cash has to be laundered. An electronic funds transfer that doesn’t leave entries isn’t even a transfer! Lastly, you’re not even thinking if you don’t consider alternatives. For example, Bolton could be dropping hints to family and friends for simple insider trading. Or, this is a farrago of false claims, exaggerations, out of context tidbits and simple-minded hysteria shamelessly hurled by sycophants currying favor with tin god Trump.
Avoid this poster’s comments, I think.

From Reuters
The Trump administration is considering a plan to curb a dizzying array of software-powered exports to China, from laptops to jet engines, to retaliate against Beijing’s latest round of rare earth export restrictions, according to a U.S. official and three people briefed by U.S. authorities.
This will accelerate an already underway process by China to rid themselves of reliance on Western technology….and it will not restore the rare earths for military gear that the West wants, regardless.

Peter – my lovely wife is onto me like a seagull on a hot chip. She saw straight through the ‘paint drying’ scam, and kindly re-organised my painting sequence so I didn’t waste so much time. She is sooo helpful…
But I am allowed to sit at the computer while eating my lunch; so I’m chewing realll slowww…
Very short summary: I had decades of dizziness, blurred vision, hearing problems. Difficult to diagnose. Your experience rings a bell…
You may like to look at this description from the Mayo Clinic:
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/menieres-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20374910
Cause unknown, no cure, but treatment and management can bring great results.
Meniere’s Disease is often accompanied by Nystagmus. This causes blurred vision through uncontrolled small movements of the eye, dizziness/vertigo and difficulty with night vision.
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22064-nystagmus
https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/nystagmus
The dizziness made me feel crook in the guts all the time and I lost interest in food. The upside is that management can be really beneficial. I now go many months with no vertigo or nystagmus.
It is a matter of personal choice to find the balance between the possible benefits and the ‘cost’ of management.
If this is useful, we can discuss in more detail or find alternate means of communication. Over to you, and I hope your spine has ceased tingling!

Thank you, suzan. We too have had a month’s extension on the season, but I’m grateful for the cooler nights and mornings, as is my garden. Finally the marigolds decided to bloom into a display for me just as my few saffron crocuses awaken. The latter often have slumbered through drier falls but this has been a wet one and they love it. I can’t say my veggies have loved summer — even the kumi kumi squash only flowered magnificently and refused to set fruit till it cooled off. I managed to get only two of their delicious offspring.
And yes, I am not bothered, just charmed to be remembered by those among us who know so much about how the world works. You should have heard my dearly beloved uncle in the cowshed berating his similarly beloved cows. They were named for his female relatives, and he didn’t hold anything back. We kids sat nearby on the cowshed rail dangling our toes in the watering barrels. PeterAU1 reminds me a lot of my uncle at times, although my uncle never piloted a helicopter. He did use a bike to go bring in the cows though.
My sheep farmer uncle often got angry with us, which was different — but even he had earned my respect, though he scared me. One time he took me with him to find and skin a dead lamb while his amazing dog kept the desperate mother at bay, then the live orphan lamb I was holding got dressed in the skin, and the mother accepted it. Wow. Thank you, Uncle John.

In the town of Erding, Bavaria, Germany, the police shot a soldier of the Bundeswehr.
In southern Bavaria an exercise between the German military and civilian forces took place yesterday.
A unit of the military police opened fire with exercise rounds on the civilian police, because they thought they were part of the exercises – which they were not.
The civilian police returned fire with live ammunition and wounded one of the soldiers.

Activists Who Disarm British Nuclear Submarines Win the Alternative Nobel Peace Prize
STORYOCTOBER 12, 2001
While the world’s attention is focused on Kofi Annan and the United Nations for receiving this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, The Swedish Parliament recently announced the recipients of the “Alternative Nobel Prizes,” The Right Livelihood Award.
This year the award was given to liberation theologian Leonardo Boff of Brazil, Gus Shalom, the Israeli peace group, and the Trident Ploughshares of Britain. Trident Ploughshares is a disarmament group whose members have pledged themselves to disarming the British Trident nuclear weapons system through open, non-violent direct action. As British planes and submarines participate in the US attack on Afghanistan, the award could not come at a more appropriate time.

Yeah, the spine has stopped tingling. I have just woken from a nanna nap and having a few cups of coffee before I start to rehydrate.
I had a look through your links and pretty sure I dont have that. At the start of this illness I had the Blastocistis bug.
That’s an opportunistic bug that a lot of people have in their gut and gets out of control when another illness strikes. It blocks the uptake of molybdenum in the gut which is required for the metabolism of four chemical groups found naturally in food. Nitrogen, Sulphur, complex sugars/carbon, …. I cant remember the other element at the moment. But through research I tracked it down and nailed. Only one place in the world that treats that bug. Center for Digestive Diseases in Sydney. They had worked out a concoction of three different antibiotics that will kill it off.
That cured the issues related to molybdenum deficiency and I had hoped that would fully cure me but it did not.
It was about eight or nine years into the illness and I read an article in the ABC news about and Australian medical researcher who had isolated or recognised mammal allergy caused by tick bite. It looked like what I had so did some dietary testing and sure enough that was what I had. A complex sugar found in mammal products, the immune system starts reacting to it. Marrow bone soup ill bring me out in hives real good.
That particular sugar, the digestive system dose not produce and enzyme to digest it. A bug in the human gut, the large intestine actually produces the required enzyme. 75% of the bodies immune system is in the large intestine.
It also triggered some other food intolerances that I suspect I have for life into overdrive. Four chemicals found naturally in foods and it took me 18 years from the start of the illness. Citric acid and saturated fatty acids are the big ones and that instantly wipes out a huge amount of foods. All fruit and veg out. Anything containing saturated fatty acids out.
Immune reaction to chemicals in food causes gut stasi – the large intestine basically becomes paralyzed.
Doctors which I have spent a lot of money on and took a lot of shit from over the years have proved useless as tits on a bull and I refuse to see them any more.
There is a couple of nutrient mixes that can be bought over the counter from chemists. Ensure and Fortisip. They both contain canola oil for the two essential fatty acids. But canola oil also contains a chemical that occurs naturally in many seed and nut oils. I just call it E471 as its also made synthetically as an emulsifier in manufactured foods. A combination of two glycerides. That'[s a really strong trigger of hives for me.
Walnut oil is very high in the two essential oils, low in saturated fats and does not contain the E471 combination of glycerides. I by that from Omega farms in Manjimup WA.
Since the tick bite, apart from straight out digestive intolerance, saturated fats started triggering very strong histamine headaches. Similar to what is termed migraine headache. Before I knew how to deal with them, they were pretty bad. Always behind my right eye. Recovering once the had eased off after 12 to 24 hours, my cheek would sometimes feel like it had been hit by a baseball bat. I didn’t nail that one until around the time I went down. 18 years since the onset of this illness first triggered by tick bite till I had nailed the last one.
Those 18 years have been a long hard road. Now I experiment a bit with citric acid and saturated fats and still retain some form of gut function. But generally I eat bugger all and drink a lot.
Have made a protein based nutrient mix with balanced minerals and most nutrients apart from the essential vitamins. They are only available in bulk packs of the separate vitamins and have a short shelf life.To purchase all the required vitamins like that may cost 10 or 20 thousand dollars and they are only good for six months so I don’t bother.

Nave just been scanning the media. Every time I think the west has dropped into the very depths of insanity, it digs down deeper.
It looks like the Europeans are going to go ahead with the theft of Russian assets to try and stave of their economic misery just a little longer and the Americans again behind strikes into Russia. Medvedev had a bit to say about that.
The Americans want to attack China so we have now embarked on that exercise in insanity, but the Russians are not letting go until they get the mutual security proposals or simply create their own security at the expense of western security.

Most likely Trump threw the Eurotards a bone by ‘cancelling meeting with Putin’ after the Eurotards agreed to commit collective suicide in a trade war against China.
Yes, Trump may have cancelled meeting, but Trump also said in the press interview they are just ‘selling weapons to Nato and it’s not really up to us how they use them’.
The eurotards think Tomahawk is the final boss of gamechangers, undefeatable champion. I guess we will just have to see how the Tomahawk wunderwaffe plays out over the next few weeks. I think this time we may be off to the races if Russia decides to sink some Eurotard navy ships in response, or hit a manufacturing plant here and there in the event wunderwaffe achieves something.

Trump won on a mandate of fighting against the deep state. As Whitney Webb and Chris Hedges clearly points out the tech bros under Trump have expanded it greatly.
It’s being done under the framing and narratives of – fighting against the deep state and fighting for free speech in breathtakingly Orwellian fashion.
Exactly in the same way as they removed many freedoms using the narratives and framing of – fighting against Al qaeda. As they welcome their leader with open arms and put him in charge of Syria.
Fighting against the deep state and fighting for free speech is the new con job. The very same 3 card monte of fighting against Al- Qaeda that was used at that time.

Well Clouds, Sun, Echo:
Propoganda, censorship and lawfare has always gone hand in hand with a he fascist collective wests imperialism through the ages.
Back in the day you could get burnt at the stake for being a heretic! these days many are imprisoned for made up charges without juries – see what they did to Assange and Craig Murray even; see what they are doing to the Palestine protestors, even the child abuse victims and whistleblowers.
I’m not accusing you of being chicken little or the boy who cried Wolf so don’t get me wrong.
Fascism is the modus of tyranny in n which all western Anglo European ‘civilisation’ has been built upon . That is not really very old, not even a score of centuries, compared to what he endures by human civilisations which are now on the way back!
The tyrants you identify are merely dynastic scions of the dynasties that have prospered and driven their master plan to conquer humanity and own all the resources of the Earth. They are the shapeshifters I finally identified in my trek of trying to find out what Money really is.
They claim the invention of it, as a weapon of mass distraction and destruction. They use it to purchase all knowledge and technology and how it is dispensed to the rest of humanity and when.
They were only stopped when their slaves, the Slavs, and hundreds of other EurAsian tribes came together to destroy their empire.
They ran west and decided to base their exiled empire entity in a more easily defensible geography.
That of what is now North West Europe with their backs to the sea.
British Peoples (tribes with their own languages and ‘culture’) were enrolled to serve the ‘entity’ and its invader overlords.
The world empire would not exist without such enrolled ‘tribes’ of Europe through the last two Millenia, would it?
Understand the Year Zero of our calendar – the creation of it , by who, for what purpose – and we finally see the clear truth.
Obscure through centuries and generations on purpose – just as easily as the real daily truth of the here and now is obscured daily!
It’s not that we are idiots it’s because we are raised with daily fairytales and treats to keep us trained like good pets.
Whose pets are we ?
The truth is out HERE – we can cure ourselves with it – by hard facts and dates and names of the villains.
THAT is what they fear the most; that is why their desperation to always control the Narratives.
I suggest that is why infact WE (a handful) are allowed this bar, why b hasn’t been hounded – so they can use us to inform their Grand Narrative manipulations – to the (not quite infinitely) bigger audiences – they message through the mass media.
The couple of billions who they have decided is all they need – the Golden Billion they allow to be their forever servants, producers. Inventors, Entertainers and Thinkers!
Those Villains are very very FEW – shapeshifters who have ruled the creation and destructions of the Collective West.
They prosper by the huge shadows they cast. Making themselves seem like powerful mighty wizards capable of mass murder and terror.
We have no need to be careful because that only commits our future generations to the same and worse slavery and culling as they have become so used to.
Those tribes that came together a millenia ago to eject them from their ivory towers are back again to rid them ones more and this time they are enrolling even more humans, the majority, 85%.
We live in the 15% as their willing supposed advanced nations and peoples of the world excusing the imperialism, colonisation and exploitation of that majority..
We are mollified with our supposed superiority, liberalism, woke smugness and some kind of deluded saviour delusions – including the fucking weather! The myriad of life !
Yet we are feared? We are the only reason they retain any power. What are they going to do?
Arrest everyone? Put us in concentration camps? Or just cull us in the streets with a few deluded jackbooted armed storm troopers in their spodeish brown shorts of fascism?
Fuck them. Do not let them cower us. Stand and fight where we can most of all in OUR OWN MINDS… the truest thing that FDR said our biggest threat is the Fear of Fear or summat line that.
¡ No Pasaran !
