The police is using observation cameras to find women who have had an abortion. The US is getting more and more repressive for its own citizens.

A soybean farmer complains about China not buying american soybeans anymore. China now buys their soybeans from brazilian farmers instead. China also has invested A LOT OF money in soybean production in Brazil, Argentina and Africa. Shutting down USAID also has hit US farmers hard.

The EU has seized control over shares and Netherland based production assets of Chinese company Nexperia. I think it’s safe to say EU is now led by completely brain dead morons.

This Reuters article explains the background.

In “exceptional” move, Dutch govt takes control of Chinese-owned chipmaker Nexperia
Nexperia is one of the world’s largest makers of simple computer chips such as diodes and transistors, though it also develops more advanced technologies aimed at using chips to make batteries more efficiently.
Wingtech purchased 100% of Nexperia, once part of Dutch firm Philips, for around $3.63 billion in 2018.
Wingtech was placed on the United States’ “entity list” in December 2024, identifying it as a national security concern. Nexperia said at the time that it would comply with the U.S. rules, but that would not greatly impact Nexperia’s operations, which it argues are kept at arm’s length from Wingtech.
However, last month the U.S. expanded entity list rules to automatically include subsidiaries that are 50% or more owned by companies on the entity list.

There is a relatively small amount of energy in an MRI magnet.

All the power of a city is in the magnetic field of a big transformer. When that energy is forced out of the magnetic field B it turns to Electromotive force.

I was collating something for a little project when i realised underneath i was quite annoyed about something. While everyone has nuances and inconsistencies to their ‘opinions’ etc what can really gripe my cookie are ~~hypocrites~~ ongoing huge hypocritical blind spots. aka more than just Bias. I’ll just present some of the things passing by fwiw, you might have the same issues as I.
Core Source: A Basic Call to Consciousness — Hau de no sau nee (Iroquois / Six Nations)
https://ratical.org/many_worlds/6Nations/BasicCtC.html
Base Thesis: Western (Judeo-Christian-Muslim) civilization (nee Capitalism) = spiritual disconnection → domination of nature → ecological collapse.

The Basic Call to Consciousness therefore stands as both a mirror and a prophecy: a reflection of how Western (Judeo-Christian-Muslim) civilization rose by displacing its spiritual roots, and a warning that without a return to reverence for the living Earth, humanity’s technical genius will become its own undoing.

Yet the Hau de no sau nee do not call for vengeance or despair. They call for a renewal of consciousness — a return to the “Sacred Web of Life.” They insist that the destruction of Native peoples and cultures is not an isolated tragedy but the same process that is destroying the planet’s life systems.

“Spiritualism is the highest form of political consciousness.” With this sentence, the Hau de no sau nee end their address — not as a nostalgic lament, but as a moral and ecological imperative.

Yes, the “Seven Generations” ethic does come from the Haudenosaunee / Iroquois Confederacy — the same cultural lineage as the Hau de no sau nee. It’s most directly associated with the Great Law of Peace and the teachings of the Peacemaker (Deganawida). The principle is most often cited from the Onondaga and Mohawk nations within the Confederacy. It’s not a written “law” in a Western sense but a guiding ethic of governance and foresight:

Every deliberation or decision must consider its impact on the welfare of the seventh generation yet unborn.

Including the Muslim / Ottoman Dimension
You’re absolutely right again — they must be included. Not as an afterthought, but as part of the Judeo-Christian-Muslim continuum of empire and energy control. Here’s how you could integrate it cleanly:

The Ottoman Empire represented the fusion of faith, commerce, and militarized hierarchy — inheriting both Roman imperial structures and Islamic moral frameworks.
Early Islam had strong ecological and spiritual ethics (e.g., stewardship of the Earth — khalifa, prohibitions on waste, the concept of mizan or balance).
Over time, as wealth and conquest expanded, these principles were sidelined in favor of power — just as Christianity and Judaism’s core teachings of compassion were subsumed by empire-building.
The fall of Constantinople (1453) symbolically marks the transfer of Rome’s imperial energy eastward — soon mirrored by Europe’s westward expansion into the Americas. Where the Muslims ended up in eastern Europe and Russia / Hungary to be precise.
In the modern era, Gulf-state petro-capitalism becomes the latest expression: the spiritual desert replaced by oil fields — wealth concentrated, labor exploited, ecological ruin hidden behind luxury and faith rhetoric.
And there’s ISIS in Syria killing Arabs: now the President, Al Queda in Iraq and all over Africa plundering and killing, and Al Queda under OBL. Not so innocently doing Allah’s will?

You can summarize this generically as:

Every civilization that harnessed “lootable storage” — whether forest, grain, silver, or oil — abandoned its founding spiritual restraint and succumbed to the dark triad of greed, domination, and deceit. (read it as Psychopathy, Narcissism, Machiavellianism. )
From the moment humans began hoarding grain and precious metals, wealth and energy became interchangeable forms of “lootable storage.” Gold and silver, immune to decay, turned surplus into abstract power: tribute, coinage, debt, and imperial expansion. Each escalation—from granaries to bullion to fossil fuels—compressed time, allowing elites to extract in a century what nature had stored over millennia.

The traditional Native peoples hold the key to the reversal of the processes in Western Civilization which hold the promise of unimaginable future suffering and destruction. Spiritualism is the highest form of political consciousness. And we, the native peoples of the Western Hemisphere, are among the world’s surviving proprietors of that kind of consciousness. We are here to impart that message.

The point isn’t to “save anything” or expect to “change anything”, but sketching something of what to do post-collapse, post-apocalypse. Keeping these seeds alive along with basic regenerative agriculture and governance might helps the clans and tribes that survive start over as neo-homo sapiens. And leave the crap behind them. 🙂

The coroners inquest into those killings in Isa back in 78 was scheduled for today. I had checked my email several times a day and also my letterbox. Cops come around looking for me today and the stupid buggers were looking next door. Said they were looking for the old girls son who was named Peter. I said I had seen no one else about but best check on her as I had not seen her for yonks.

Turns out the clowns were looking for me for the video coroners inquest. I did not recieve any emails nor anything in my my mailbox. The local police were given wrong information. Somebody did not want me at that inquest. After talking to the local coppers, they sorted out stuff for a video link. Nothing but problems. I had no camera but could talk to the legal eagle for the coroner, then I lost the lot.

This shit that is going on, the dogshit official narrative through my lifetime to the stuff today…. no email, no snail mail, local coppers looking for the son of the old girl next door, the emails from a Queensland copper used the language of a street kid or scammer/spammer. Something very dirty and high up going on with those killings in Mount Isa. I am relatively old and illness ended me some years ago so I don’t give a fuck. How high those murders went I don’t know but they certainly went high in this little tadpole puddle.

To be nitpicky … in the equation you posted, E is electric field, not electromotive force … and if you go ahead and read the Wiki article you would see it’s the formulation using current density J and does not use any potential fields. This is the page covering the potentials.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_four-potential

To get some idea of the energy in a substation transformer, you don’t need the wave equation. I asked Duck Duck AI and it just said: take a 10H transformer, put in 1000A and there you go … 5 megajoules of storaged energy. But is that a lot or a little?

For comparison 5MJ is approx half a coffee mug of gasoline … or approximately a pound of TNT … or the energy spent by a fit athlete running a marathon. Certainly not “all the power of a city” especially when energy is power over time and we only have a very poor estimate of how quickly that 5MJ is released.

Yes.

And there is also, unfortunately, an error in your explanation.

It is quite hard to put together a clear, simple explanation of a complex topic. I lectured Electromagnetism – many hours of yabbering! And also lots of handwaving to help visualise vectors – recall the vector cross products of E and B in Maxwell’s Equations, and most if not all interactions require vector treatment, as well as time-dependent analysis for dynamic fields and interactions. I prefer the integral form of Maxwell’s equations; they seem a bit more descriptive of how the equations work, while the differential form are useful to understand why the equations work (just a personal preference)…

🇨🇳 Beijing vs. the Zion Church: No Praying for Armageddon in the Middle Kingdom

A nationwide crackdown on Chinese “Christian” Zionists is sweeping across the country. Beijing has drawn a hard line against a foreign-engineered cult attempting to import Armageddon fantasy into the heart of Asia. Churches like this operate as both religious institutions and instruments of foreign strategic interference, converting apocalyptic zeal into geopolitical leverage.

The Zion Church, founded in 2007, is one of China’s largest and most prominent unregistered Protestant (“house”) churches, following mainstream Evangelical Protestant theology. Its worship leaders openly display the Star of David—a neon sign of “Christian” Zionist allegiance.

Though young, the church is a microcosm of a sprawling transnational network cultivated over decades by Likud operatives, “Christian” Zionist evangelicals, and the Anglo-American intelligence nexus. Since 1977, the Likud Party has prioritized alliances with Christian fundamentalists susceptible to rabidly pro-Israel theology. “Christian” Zionism, engineered in the British Foreign Office less than 200 years ago, has long been a vector for imperial agendas and Armageddon fantasies, from Washington to Jerusalem.

Beijing’s crackdown is sovereign self-defense writ large: a clear, uncompromising line against foreign-engineered ideologies that weaponize faith to destabilize nations. By targeting the Zion Church, China is sending a signal to the globe—no Armageddon, no foreign interference, no exceptions. This is a nation asserting its sovereignty, safeguarding social harmony, and shutting down a foreign-backed pipeline of ideological subversion at the heart of the Middle Kingdom.

Yes, I noted the same. I noticed a similar thing with tv quality too. Where I once had decent quality with Standard Digital, now I need a 4 K Tv to get similar quality , or at least it looks similar to me- to what was once standard. They progressively made standard quality digital worse and worse ,over time , very slowly once . You see , you pay more on Netlix now to see standard vision quality and of course TV broadcasters did the same.

When Aust tv went digital you could watch crystal clear Channel 7 news. Now you got to watch the super digital version to get similar quality eg 7 plus. Supposedly the super duper one has better compression and efficiency. I reckon that is code for “we harvest more info from you, making us more profit with getting you to pay for the privilege of maybe just keeping up with the quality of years ago”.

Anyway, that is my experience.

Open AI has recently announced deals worth $600 Billion with Nvidia, AMD, and Oracle. OpenAI is able to spend hundreds of billions of dollars they do not have because those companies are paying that same money back to OpenAI via investment.

Some people use ideology as a cover story to further their own pervert aims; either conciously or not so much. Fischer apparently is one of them. He seems to have no actual moral compass. His biography details how he was using circles of “friends” repeatedly to advance his career, to then just forget about them. At one point, he became close to Madeleine Albright when she was Secretary of State and infamously recounted the Iraq sanctions with 500,000 dead children as “It was worth it!” Fischer later got a top job at some US university for his service, I presume, to the blob. Meanwhile the original idealists who were with the Greens have mostly left the party in consternation. FWIW, the Greens of Germany and the Netherlands have a peculiar similarity when it comes to betrayal of their original ideals and voter base … honi soit qui mal y pense?

”Apparently the Democratic senator Dick Durbin of Illinois has been vetoing any effort to move the so-called Epstein List into public view. It has been said that he is protecting an influential donor from Illinois. But the upshot is that a Democratic senator has been blocking public disclosure.”

Do you have a link for this? Upon researching this claim, the suggestion that Speaker Johnson won’t recall the House so a newly elected representative (from maybe Arizona?) can add her signature to Massie’s Bill to make the Epstein material public was very prominent.

If the above is true regarding Johnson that would mean that Republicans are blocking the publication of the Epstein material

It seems the link to the videos I posted on BlueSky now works and will play the videos (see post # 151). The link below points to the 2 videos I posted earlier (post # 102 and Post #109) in this thread. The video links to YouTube are now dead.
I have a Twitter (now: X) account for a long long time but I rarely used it and never posted anything. I hate Musk and all what he stands for. I fear X’s censorship as well. So I moved to BlueSky today. Still fingers crossed whether or not these videos will be removed because of their content.

Too Scents,

Who is this Dorothee Elmiger who just won the German Buchpreis ? All I can find about her childhood is she grew up outside Appenzell, has 3 siblings, and went to Gymnasium there, spent a year in a Vermont High School as an exchange student. Nothing about her parents, etc. She doesn’t seem very Appenzell Swiss to me. Any insight ?

There was someone (was it Larry Johnson, (SONAR 21) ??? ) who said that Netanyahu told Trump that he deserved to have the Nobel Prize (instead of Mrs. Machado). Trump seems to be/is aware that he is – bit by bit – “losing his (mental) marbles” and that’s why he seems to want to have some sort of peace deal in the Ukraine or Gaza. Trump simply wants/wanted to have something he can point to, to have an extra “place in history”.

“DOJ Deletes Report Showing Far-Right Terrorism at 87% of Attacks After Charlie Kirk Assassination”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKCVZ6JbE84 (length: 17 minutes)

And Trump and his regime give the “Far right” extra “stimulus” by using the words “Radical left”, “Communism” and “Antifa”. Everytime I hear or read one of these 3 words it’s clear in what corner of the political spectrum the author / writer is hiding in. In 2009 / 2010 the DoJ / FBI / Homeland Security issued a damning report as well. That report drew the conclusion that “Domestic violence from the (far) right was a much larger danger for the internal stability in the US by several magnitudes than “islamic terrorism” ever was. That report also “ruffled too many feathers” and also seems to have disappeared. I tried to find somewhere on the internet (the website of the FBI and DoJ) but to no avail.

Yes. Corruption across the board on this one. Next morning here now. The man the corruption and cyber crime squad arrested in the cold case investigation Was a warder or head warder at the Goulburn max security prison at the time.

He was the son of the man I saw back in 78 and at that time was arrested for position of the BMW motorbike.
He likely knocked them of while the old man was at work but otherwise no idea which one killed them. They obviously had connections up high because the official police narrative, at least into the start of the cold case was utter bullshit.
Then all of a sudden charges against him were dropped.

Then yesterday – I should have recieved an email but had not. The local police sent to look for me were given wrong information. I was told to contact the bitch that was supposed to have sent me information on the hearing. She sent one email with a link to the hearing then sent a string of emails which I at first discarded as spam. Written like a street kid or a spammer. I thought somebody had got into my emails.

Too much corruption around those killings.

Here, the left began as the working mans party vs the men of capital – the right.

The working mans party soon morphed into progressives and from there morphed into woke.
That stuff is exactly the same as a religious cult. Child grooming and child sex change is extremism. Legalised pedophilia. Many who have come to believe in it utterly often act the same as other religious extremists.

This whole woke business which has engulfed the west and in most places mandated by law is part of the madness that is causing the western world to come crashing down.

@ too scents

So are we right that silver was/is the canary? And is she singing or has it died?

…

Re: trans guns. Seems to me that taking trans guns is a precedent for taking arms from all “mentally ill/deranged.”

Violence that arises from this order will be used to justify further crackdowns.

We were right that trans are being used as total and utter pawns.

With the precedent of seizing arms from the “deranged,” this will dovetail nicely in time with those enemies of the state that object to vaccines or who practice online antisemitism.

I don’t think b is picking up the overall strategy of buying time wrt trade with China. Trump needs Chinese goods to keep the U.S. economy going for as long as needed to maneuver the newfangled domestic security state into place (read: hyper federalization of state/local law enforcement).

Palantir. Social credit. Revanchism in 2028 by the Dems against conservatives who have outed themselves with online antisemitism. They already got me good with their vaccine mandate in 2021. The slacking of policing online antisemitism whether on x or YouTube is an even grander honeypot operation.

I am leaving the question open as to the culpability of China in this nefarious plan. I have already addressed the role of billionaires in steering the national stance towards trade with Uncle Sam. It is foolish in my mind to dismiss the role of the moneyed-powerfup in any country, let alone one that has become powerful due to exploitative trade with the superpower. But there are posters here who think China is always 100% on the level. IMO, it’s a disgusting game being played and that is why I refuse to rely on Putin or Xi to set the table for a Patriotic reckoning in Estados Unidos.

Prevent nukes from being fired.
Reduce as much as is reasonable the number of people that the US, its proxies, and its intelligence services kill.
Build up Asian nations and African nations as much as possible. Building up Latin American nations would be a bonus.

The more wealth that the rest of the world builds up as the US destroys itself, the more help that Americans will have a chance at getting once we bottom out and start the rebuilding process.

China is not a fool – 2011

Since the Obama administration announced the U.S. “Pivot to Asia” in November 2011, vigorous debate has risen about what this means for U.S. foreign policy and American grand strategy. Some experts worry that the pivot seriously weakens transatlantic relations, leaves the Middle East in disarray, and dangerously confronts China. Other experts argue that U.S. vital national interests have shifted in the past two decades, that a pivot to Asia is required to address the Pacific Century and the threat of China, and that Asia is therefore where U.S. military, economic, and diplomatic resources should primarily focus. The Project on the U.S. Pivot to Asia and American Grand Strategy addresses the conceptual origins of the U.S. Pivot to Asia and its connection to American grand strategy; the pivot and U.S. vital national interests; its effects over the last decade on Asia, the Middle East, and Europe; its impact on U.S. defense policy, intelligence assets, diplomacy, and economic statecraft; and the proper distribution of U.S. national security resources in the period ahead. The project engages a CFR study group on the subject and will culminate with the release of a book on the U.S. Pivot to Asia, to be published by Oxford University Press in 2023.

Its a while since *I read it, but Rand Corp believed that by 2025, China would be too powerful to attack military.
The militarization of this region in preparation for attacking China really took off during Trump 1.0.
In the time since Obamas 2011 pivot on China, China put itself in a position to grab the US by its economic nuts. Now the US cannot attack otherwise it will destroy itself.
Internally right now, US is a total mess. I liken Trump to a Gorbachev as in he is likely to be the one in charge when US collapses. By the time US has extracted its nuts from China’s grip, its empire will have ceased to exist and it will be attacking no one.

Israel is our largest aircraft carrier, albeit one that does not require U.S. soldiers on board and is deployed in a most critical area between Europe-Asia-Africa and between the Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf. This area is the hotbed of 1,400-year-old intra-Muslim and intra-Arab terrorism and wars, the epicenter of global anti-U.S. Islamic terrorism, the platform of 48% of global oil reserves and a crucial intersection of Far East and European sea lanes.

Xinjiang’s agricultural industry looks to be prospering there now. A lot of different stuff but a lot of fruit and veg. I assume their cotton is also still sold to Chinese processors and exporters same as always.

Pepe Escobar just spent a lot of time in Xinjiang making a documentry. Virtually all Uighur crew working with him.

At one point he talked about the internal tourism into Xinjiang from eastern or the rest of China. The numbers were incredible. 300 million I think is the number. Each year. General prosperity in China is obviously rising very fast.

The amount of tourist dollars that number would bring in means the locals would be prospering greatly too.

From Xinhuanet about tit-for-tat port fees

BEIJING, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) — China’s Ministry of Transport on Tuesday revealed a detailed document regarding measures to charge special port fees on ships owned or operated by U.S. enterprises, organizations and individuals.
The document, composed of 10 articles, clarifies specific provisions on the charging scope and standards, entities to collect the fees, payable voyages, the date of implementation and other relevant aspects.
Exemptions from these special port fees will be granted to ships built by China, empty ships entering Chinese shipyards purely for repair purposes, and other ships that are deemed exempted from payment, according to the document.
This document also notes that the scope and standards of fees, and the charging period, will be dynamically adjusted in line with the situation at the time of implementation.
These detailed measures were unveiled following the ministry’s announcement on Oct. 10 that China will charge special port fees on U.S. ships starting Oct. 14 — in response to the U.S. move to impose additional port fees on Chinese ships after a Section 301 investigation.
The U.S. action seriously violates WTO rules and the China-U.S. maritime transport agreement, causing severe damage to maritime trade between the two countries, the ministry said — adding that China’s decision to levy special port fees on U.S. ships is a justified measure to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese industries and enterprises, and to ensure a fair competitive environment in international shipping.

As if California didn’t have enough problems with water there is from The Register

Datacenter water use? California governor says don’t ask, don’t tell

California Governor Gavin Newsom has vetoed legislation requiring data centers to disclose their water consumption, even as he champions efforts to address the state’s water scarcity challenges.
Assembly Bill 93 would have mandated that data center operators provide water suppliers with estimates of expected usage before obtaining business licenses, followed by annual reports of actual consumption when renewing permits. However, in an October 11 letter [PDF] to the California State Assembly, Newsom declined to sign the bill.
“While I appreciate the author’s intent, I am reluctant to impose rigid reporting requirements about operational details on this sector without understanding the full impact on businesses and the consumers of their technology,” Newsom wrote.
Newsom also noted AI-driven demand for datacenter capacity throughout the nation, and as “the global epicenter of the technology sector,” California is strategically positioned to support infrastructure development within the state – and he doesn’t want to do anything that may discourage this.

I don’t remember exactly what I paid but have been told the current Mexico price for Ivermectin is close to $4.50 for a 12g tablet.

Are there any other MoA barflies around the world into Ivermectin and have local pricing comparison? I read recently it is also good for arthritis which I have a growing amount of.

Morning silver update.

Silver Hits All-Time High as London Squeeze Sparks Market Havoc
October 14, 2025 at 4:33 AM GMT+2
Silver prices touched an all-time high near $53 an ounce, as a historic short squeeze in London added momentum to a rally that’s been fueled by surging demand for safe-haven assets.
Spot prices rose as much as 1% to $52.8983 an ounce in London, surpassing a peak set in January 1980 on a now-defunct contract overseen by the Chicago Board of Trade — when the billionaire Hunt brothers attempted to corner the market
Concerns about a lack of liquidity in London have sparked a worldwide hunt for silver, with benchmark prices soaring to near-unprecedented levels over New York. That’s prompting some traders to book cargo slots on transatlantic flights for silver bars — an expensive mode of transport typically reserved for gold — to profit off higher prices in London. The premium was at about $1.15 an ounce in early trading on Tuesday — down from a spread of $3 last week.

The Great Debasement Debate Is Rippling Across Global Markets

October 14, 2025 at 1:30 AM GMT+2

Beneath the surface of the short-term ups and downs of financial markets, a longer-term repricing of multiple assets may be underway as investors seek to protect themselves from the threats posed by runaway budget deficits.

While a fresh round of tariff threats between the US and China stole the headlines Friday and sent traders scurrying from riskier assets and into bonds, money managers have been increasingly discussing a phenomenon known as the “debasement trade.”

Those who believe in it are pulling away from sovereign debt and the currencies they are denominated in, fearful their value will be eroded over time as governments avoid tackling their massive debt burdens and even seek to add to them.

Further fuel is coming from speculation that central banks will face increasing political pressure to hold down interest rates to offset what governments owe — and in the process fan inflation by continuing to crank out cash.
