Debt Rattle March 29 2024

Have you heard anything about WPATH? This is mind numbing but par for the course considering what the last five years have produced.

“This Is One of the Biggest Medical Malpractice Scandals in History”
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down with bestselling author and journalist Michael Shellenberger to discuss the shocking revelations now being published in the WPATH Files.

Michael Shellenberger is a climate activist, journalist, and bestselling author. He has covered climate for over 30 years, as well as AI, emergent technologies, the Twitter Files, and most recently, the WPATH files

“Russia Announces ‘Substantiated Evidence’ Of Ukraine Link To Crocus Hall Terrorists
White House dismisses “nonsense” – saying it’s clear the Islamic State was “solely responsible”…

I didn’t know the White House was heading the investigation, questioned all the witnesses, and has all the answers already. …There is one other explanation: We know exactly who did it because it’s us. That’s the only way we could know, or dare say anything right now. You pick.

“Putin Threatens To Attack Western Air Bases Hosting Ukrainian F-16s
“If they are used from airfields of third countries, they become a legitimate target for us, wherever they are located.”

Well I would think so! You can’t just take off from Andrews AFB, refuel, bomb Moscow, and claim you’re not involved! That’s essentially what they’ve been doing already, handing all NATO arms like Vampires, to shell Belgorod city center.
https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2023/06/12/they-forgot-about-us-fear-and-uncertainty-reign-in-heavily-shelled-russian-border-town-a81481 That’s a different city of 40,000. I mean, it IS a war, I don’t cry big Shirley Temple tears, but you don’t just shell indiscriminately – for one thing, you’ll lose! Just like you don’t defend every inch without any tactical sense – which they just did again!. (Nazis. Thanks, I guess?) Anyway, the point is, when you, Czech, are shelling Belgorod, you can’t claim to have nothing to do with it. When Dutch pilots are handing free F16s, you can’t claim to be uninvolved.

Okay, more productively, what does that mean? A: It means they will not stop until they get a bloody nose that knocks them down. Not out, necessarily, and not at first, but something PR can’t overcome. Since the Euro people are already pissed, this may be easier now, — all PCRs nattering aside — but does it mean bombing Amsterdam instead? Or just leveling Czech’s President’s House and Macron’s Beach home? Gosh I hope so.

“If Americans Just Ate Healthy & Exercised, Then Politicians Wouldn’t Be Clamoring About $1,000 Weight Loss Drugs “Bankrupting” Medicare

Great idea! Any suggestions on how to do that when the food is poisoned in the field — by law — and every stage after that?

“The Bateleur”: “The Magician” in English, that’s Mountebank, Tumbler, Juggler implied in French. Somewhat different, but not entirely different. Like a 3-card monty street show?

“Container Ships”

I didn’t want to comment more since I’m not versed in this but people keep popping up without asking and thinking. First, from an expert, like other objects, surfing, airplanes, if you drop forward motion, you lose control. Just imagine the ship entirely at rest: L-R Rudder: no effect. Second, if you have power, then suddenly halt, the ship “cavitates” (they have a word for this) out of control. It’s like going into ice. If you can hold power steady on ice, it holds. Not accelerating or breaking, but even just yanking your foot off the accelerator will destabilize more than you’d think. “Water’ has no breaking, it’s slow ice. MODERN ships do everything by power, so you have to drill down and say WHICH ship? An old ship? Or the most modern, computer, drive-by-wire ship? They were visibly dragging anchor. Call had already gone out to controls they had power over. And although “Power lines” yes aren’t in the uppers, OBVIOUSLY the wires running the endless strobe lights on top were wired. And they may be high-voltage for arcane engineering reasons – it’s not like this is residential code here. The uppers are not dark.

So guaranteed, IF the power goes out, the back end tries to come around, esp when apparently they’re being race-car drivers out there. They may have rudder, but without the prop weird things are happening and apparently this is a single-prop? They come up again, engines are flipped to 120% with smoke to desperately get control…and then are out again? This isn’t a normal “We broke” situation then. This is a “We’re both up AND down???” Only computers can F something up that bad.

Then you have this ship, coming around, hitting a needle in a haystack, at high speed, on a one-mile bridge, that takes out essentially Washington DC area, for a year? Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral? Air, Ground, and Water all in one bridge pylon? Yes, such a thing CAN happen, but c’mon. Largest coincidence in years.

Anyway, what’s the rush? Why not wait for evidence? I’ve heard both Ukrainian pilot and the pilot BEFORE this one was Ukrainian. And WHYYYYYY would Ukraine possibly attack us? Either as a Ukie or as a Russian agent? Aaaaaaaaand how would he ever “get away with it” since he was on the bridge steering? OBVIOUSLY everyone would point at him, with no deniability AND Ukraine would get no more weapons and piss off all America. Don’t just say “Ukrainian”. If he were London, Syrian, Egyptian, Chinese, we’d all point too, but he has to literally be from SOMEWHERE. Wait and find out. This is like they said “Diversity hire” as if every PoC etc are 100% incompetent, which is completely not true, AND having no idea if they were or weren’t. Stop reacting, start asking and piling up stacks of dossiers and facts. What do you get out of reacting faster and more emotionally? Is something gained? More cookies?

So I’m sure they have “digital backup systems”, everyone does. Every IT center, every database, etc. And they are all built like s—t, they completely don’t work ever, and no one cares because “In THEORY” we have that. Eyewash. Security Theatre. That is: LIES. Sure we fixed that problem! I fixed it with more lies!

“Gilbert Doctorow Now Confirms with his own analysis my prediction that Putin’s toleration of provocations is spinning the Ukraine conflict out of control.”

See???? It’s all Putin’s fault!!!! If he hadn’t reacted to us starting that war with him, well boy howdy!

Putin has been desperate not to overreact and overextend and it’s been working wonderfully. They already won the war. However, every approach has its effects and this is one of the downsides. What’s really happening is, PUTIN NOW CAN DO WHATEVER HE WANTS. Internally where he had to build war support, and now internationally, at least with governments and Intel Agencies in each country. They are all going to agree “It went too far”, that this was “Unprofessional”.

And wot a coincidence! Right when they’ve broken the line and amassed forces to finish taking Odessa and landlocking not Ukraine but all Europe. Well darn it. So when Putin sends 200,000 into Kherson nobody’s going to say or do nothin.

““..Russian state security on 8 March was too tight for the terrorist mission to succeed and the United States decided to pull the plug on that operation..”

Key here is: That’s when the “West” warned Russia – vaguely, and as “Was professional”. Wait: you know but also don’t know? Anything specific? What bulls—t is this? And “Russia didn’t heed the warning” so it’s “Putin’s fault”. NO. THEY DID. They mega-secured “concerts” as advised for 48h on the 8th exactly as directed…and we now “know” “they” called it off because security was too high. Meaning they BOTH followed it, AND it worked great. …And then Nuland is fired. But what do you do, stay on high alert for the next 100 years? Gee, wouldn’t the CIA love that? So the problem is Derp wanted Nuland compartmentalized but “The CIA” leaked, found out anyway, and told Russia? Then WHO, specifically, was mad and bounced her? This secret cartel, not The CIA in aggregate. That is, remember: everyone is reading each other’s mail in there, in secret clearance levels. We are an occupied government in an occupied nation, with traitors everywhere. The White Hats and Black Hats alike, work offices next to each other, with the same clearance and database. And do you WANT them to all divide and start shooting? Inside the Pentagon and Langly? Pass. Well the White Hats outfoxed and still got a wiretap on Nuland. They told Russia. It is both embarrassing AND they don’t know who Nuland’s leak is – clearly her, as she went on TV about “Surprises” – so they replaced her with somebody secret we don’t know about yet. That person may or may not have a leak, but Nuland DEFINITELY does. And their plan was such garbage it actually hurt THEMSELVES.

Unlike us, these are all strictly practical considerations of Game Theory. They are psychos: they don’t have human emotions like we do.

DNC foundations FTX and P Diddy methodically taken off the board before the election. Along with money for “Ukraine” boomeranging into DNC election (rigging) coffers.

Cohen-Daniels. Not surprising, and I’ve considered it back when it first came up. But who cares? Consider it’s true: see the kind of s—t billionaires have to put up with? And see the kind of s–t when I can say “who cares?” that is: nobody cares about the Truth anyway?

“• Ukraine Needs Air Defense To Boost Birth Rate – Zelensky (RT)

“Time exists”, Vlad. You might not have noticed being a coke-snorting gay dude, but babies are a lot of work and take 20 years of unbroken, no-vacation investment. You don’t type them on a spreadsheet. You needn’t bother: you won’t be around in 20 years and neither will “Ukraine”.

“• ‘Russia for Russians’ Slogans Alarming – Putin (RT)

Remember, top MI6 agent Navalny’s core and origin was exactly this. He was all about ethnic hate and being the KKK against Muslim in Russia’s “Long, Soft, Underbelly”. It drives the Brits nuts that they can’t “Divide and Conquer” that always works everywhere. I mean, Plan B would be “Working for a living” and we sure ain’t doing that!

“• China Opposes US Practice of Creating Enemies Out of Thin Air (Sp.)

What a radical position. We should go to war with them.

“• Who’s Running the EU? Big Global Corporations Which Aren’t Even European! (Jay)

Yes, but they aren’t American either. You could take “Economic Hit Man” view that they are like clouds circling the earth. — Which is why governments refused to charter them, and if chartered were agents of government proper, like the East India Company. Unfortunately unlike our forefathers, we are all drooling morons who can’t understand that. No you don’t just give a corporate license to anyone. And no, when they commit crimes, you don’t just let them keep it. (Looking at you, every Wall Street Bank in ‘08, Wells Fargo especially, with a million fake savings accounts charging illegal fees and fines)

The only real crime is NOT committing crimes, right?

“• UN Court Orders Israel To Let Food Into Gaza (RT)

Binding, or else what? They’ll write them a stern letter? The UN doesn’t have an army and neither does Europe. They use OUR army. …If you let China occupy and declare war on genocider Israel I’m all ears, but clearly China adores all genocides worldwide and wouldn’t spend a nickel. They could stop Israel with their pinky finger.

“• UK Won’t Extradite Assange While Risk of Death Penalty Remains – Tory (Sp.)

No. Since they can’t extradite, they will keep him in solitary in Belmarsh instead. Forever. Hey, um, Britain? If you CAN’T extradite, then isn’t Julian free to go? You were only holding him to transfer him.

No this is the Anglos: he’s both under arrest, and totally free. Whichever amuses me when I look up from the coke I’m snorting off this hooker.

““Hundreds of deranged Hollywood liberals will be in attendance, and they will open their wallets to fund the destruction of country!”

Jon Stewart tried to be a normal human. He retired, but had NORMAL 1960-1990s liberal positions. Coming back, they are so deranged that even ONE WORD, a SINGLE joke about Covid and the Chocolate Factory DEVASTATED them. They’ve been in an insulated fart bubble so long they forget how fragile and weird and lying Un-Reality they are. Since then, Stewart has been on tour giving tongue-baths to mass-murderers like Hillary Clinton as penance.

Well, since he was told to get-on-the-plantation-or-die, he was running what is clearly idiotic news on Trump and how guilty he is for owning real estate. In his normal, clever way, which because they are all Neanderthal-browed mongoloids, they need to pay people like Jon with talent for to make it plausible in the slightest. What’s True is whatever is cool and funny! Problem: Jon actually was careless – because there’s no material to work with here, it’s clearly wholly over the line – and said that paying assessed taxes while pretending/selling your house at FAR higher rates is literally fraud, literally a crime, with literal victims. —Which every bank in the “trial” denied.

Come to find out! Lo! Like EVERY PROPERTY IN THE WHOLE UNITED STATES, Jon’s mansion is assessed and taxed at $800k while he advertised and sold it at $14M. Wow. Okay, well taxed and assessed are never the same since before George chopped down that cherry tree, but that’s a HUUUUUUUUGE difference. Like he’s not paying 8x his tax. The cheat. So all of US are the victims! At least anyone in NY.

But that’s not all. Not only is he guilty of (of course! That’s what we’ve been saying!) of the same difference in values. Not only was Leticia James ALSO guilty of the same fraud in values. Not only is every NYer guilty of the same fraud in values. Not only is every AMERICAN guilty of the same fraud in values. …But there is a specific victim here:

Jon sold his house at $14M while that buyer then took a $4M LOSS on it when he sold. Jon, Jon, Jon, you KNEW your house was only worth $800k and you SOLD IT ANYWAY? That’s fraud! And this poor guy! Who voluntarily entered into contract as a free man, took a loss? THAT’S FRAUD, a felony, and the fine is $500 Billion dollars.

Not to be crazy – and I’m totally not kidding here – If I were that buyer I would IMMEDIATELY sue Jon Stewart for my $4M dollars. Why? JON ADMITTED ON TV HE DID what to him was A CRIME. A Felony. For which one must pay reparations, according to James. That’s an open and shut case, even just as a payoff or “Hush Money”, a settlement to make his embarrassment go away.

Btw, Tim Pool, with millions of viewers, is on this daily now that Jon is determined to open this spat. And it’s open and shut: (Brings us back to the Limousine Liberal quote above)

EVERY RICH LIBERAL ISN’T PAYING TAXES. Like assess Joe Middle Class is $200k when the house goes up and down and is now $250/$300? 10% Sure. But like 10x? 1,000% ???? No way! Every DNC member, every MSNBC member, Pelosi, Schumer, AOC, every member of SNL, every person in Greenpeace, Sierra Fund, all Felons! All tax cheats! Worse than Trump! YOU said this was a crime, WE are the ones who said it wasn’t. So now go down there and either arrest AOC NOW, or re-assess them 10x higher! If not, confiscate all property in NY can make this thing right!!

So that’s what dismal dickweed O’Leary was talking about. And like businessmen and Conservatives (But I repeat myself, and he’s not a Conservative, he’d be flaming liberal in 1985) isn’t saying – because they have self-control and can shut up – is HE HAS TO FIRE-SELL EVERYTHING IN NY NOW!! He’s going on TV saying it’s wrong, but he can’t than say “I’m dumping it on any sucker who shows up” because, like Jon: Fraud. And he’d not get a high price. But it’s EITHER: 1) Taxed assessed needs to stop being 10x generous welfare to every rich Millionaire queen while WE working guys pay our rate or 2) There are NO PROPERTY RIGHTS in the State of NY, because they can assess at anything, and levy fines as anything or, 3) This will take years to figure out, sort out, whereupon all risk in the borders of NY is near-infinite.

…Now this is just the details, drilling down to actual sales and residency of what I’ve been saying already. NY (or NYC) has CEASED TO EXIST, it can either reverse this and give up all such Liberalism, Statism, and Socialism, OR, It can die. That’s it: two choices. Pick wisely.

“Late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert will moderate a conversation with the three presidents. The event will be hosted by actress Mindy Kaling and feature musical performances from Lizzo, Queen Latifah and Lea Michele. First Lady Jill Biden will host an after-party for 500 guests.”

Sounds about right. They are all to the Left of Mao. “Eat the Rich” AOC says in a $20,000 dress.

“The president’s son, Hunter Biden, and his family are also attending.”

So you know there will be coke there. But it was “DNC”, “Rich” and “NY” so you knew that already. We wouldn’t say that about Tulsa although it’s probably true.

• Maori King Calls For Recognizing Whales As People (RT)

King? We do Kingships now and they’re good? Not that it’s a bad idea, but it has law-ending, life-ending consequences. Maybe you want to think this through and test and implement carefully? The main reason to me is “Who Speaks for the Proletariat?” That is, like a regent King, the WHALES DON’T VOTE. They don’t run anything. YOU do, Mr. I-Know-What’s-Best-For-Everyone. YOU have assigned yourself this Power. And the purpose of POWER is more POWER. To wield that POWER, and crush the skulls of my enemies beneath my heel! Bwahahahaha!

No: I trust the whales – sorta, they’d probably harpoon all of us – but I don’t trust YOU. Don’t you see how the state “Knows and is reagent for all the aboriginal tribes”? The same Tribes that worldwide sold their native lands off for beans? Or at least you could always find ONE tribal dickweed who would. Same thing. No and No.

“This Dog never pays for the Subway”

That’s Speciesism. If Whales are legal citizens, they will all be taxed and charged fares.

Yes, and that’s why, difficult as it is, the People need to SEE this. And how is the only way to make the people SEE? By allowing the monsters to run around like this, but like having the Nuclear Football, with the ultimate keys taken away, under CONTROL. You see this with Trump, constantly right up to the cliff edge, then suddenly saved again. A MIRACLE! Now – I – don’t need this special treatment because I see already since 2001 or before. But we still have more new people waking up and seeing and choosing daily even now. Like Maher: “what’s the fastest growing GOP demographic? People of Color.” Who’s turned away from the whole DNC and all their “Daddy Helps” Socialist talking points? GenZ. If we had just removed Gates, etc, they would just fester again, because we’ve been doing that since McCarthy, since Ayn Rand, and for centuries. These guys need to be outed. TO US. Then we can drag them through the streets personally and decide how we want to deal with them. But that can’t happen unless WE see. Until it’s real. Ugh. This is so stupid, boring, and slow.

Two More Power Plants Were Destroyed By A Massive Missile Strike. Military Summary For 2024.03.29
———–

At the Kryvyi Rih thermal power plant, one of the largest in Ukraine, a fire is still going on, after a night high-quality calibration.
The process of decommunization is proceeding according to plan.
———-

Ocean carriers are declaring “force majeure” due to the Baltimore port bridge crisis, telling logistics companies and U.S. shippers including retailers that once cargo is dropped off at alternate ports, it becomes their responsibility to pick up.
In an alert to customers Tuesday, CMA CGM wrote, “Those (containers) on the water will be discharged at an alternate port where they will be made available for pick-up, and CMA CGM’s bill of lading will terminate.”
It was the first ocean carrier to declare force majeure — the provision in a contract that frees parties from an obligation due to events beyond their control.
COSCO announced Wednesday morning that its services would “be concluded” once the diverted container arrives at the alternate port. Evergreen announced the same measure.
In contrast, Maersk is providing transport. “For cargo already on water, we will omit the port, and will discharge cargo set for Baltimore, in nearby ports. From these ports, it will be possible to utilize landside transportation to reach final destination instead,” Maersk said in an alert to customers. Though it noted that the situation remains fluid. “We are still working through the various contingencies with our customers and will continue to provide both specific and general customer advisories as the matter progresses,” it said.
Ocean carriers Hapag Lloyd and MSC did not respond to requests for comment about their plans.

Logistics executives tell CNBC the next 36 hours will be critical in the movement of the diverted trade away from the Port of Baltimore after the deadly accident of the 10,000-container capacity containership Dali which crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in the early hours of Tuesday.

The Dali was chartered by Maersk.

According to ImportGenius, the Dali unloaded freight on March 24 which included clothing and household goods that could be on the diverted vessels, also ranged from approximately 80 containers of Satsuma mandarin oranges, approximately 74 containers of IKEA products and furniture to 104 containers of Electrolux products including chest freezers, air conditioners, and microwaves.
The Port of Baltimore is also No. 1 in the U.S for auto/light truck and agriculture tractor imports and exports.
The supply chains for major wood panel importers, including Lumin Forest Products, Sudati, and Arauco, also rely heavily on Baltimore.
“The impact of the Baltimore port stoppage on construction and contractor supply chains may be significant,” said William George, director of research for ImportGenius.
One problem, according to logistics managers, is that ocean carriers are not updating their vessel transits fast enough to alert them to the new diverted port so they can plan for their customer’s container pick-up.

Baltimore port bridge collapse: Global ocean carriers put U.S. companies on hook for urgent cargo pickup

@ Dr. D
Thanks for the explanation of ships in essence “skidding” in the water. I know what it’s like to have my car skid on ice and have the rear wheels swing around the forward direction. Didn’t realize ships could experience the same sort of thing under the right – or wrong circumstances.

When the ship hit the bridge the first thing that happened is that the bridge fell down and the second thing is trillions of dollars worth of infrastructure, employment and trade that would otherwise have been done through the Port of Baltimore became ZERO, making all of the INVESTMENTS in that commerce worth LESS than zero.

The smart money started making adjustments to minimize those losses before the water stopped splashing. Everyone who was too slow getting their money out of Baltimore-Connected dealings has now lost that money forever. And more importantly, the ones who saw it coming made a killing (no pun intended.)

Looking for a culprit for the “unanticipated” “accident”? That’s easy. Find out who made money from it.
We’re looking for the owners of a PLUCKED black swan.

I would pick up the investigative thread with the Nazi’s who own Maersk shipping, and expect to end up finding the usual suspects at the other end of the thread

Incidentally, Maersk is an interesting outfit. Very VERY interesting.

Clinton and Obama are going to be the training wheels on Biden’s fund raising bicycle? Too funny.

@Dora

Clinton and Obama are going to be the training wheels on Biden’s fund raising bicycle?

That’s one the best metaphors I’ve read in years. World class.

The event that will finally get everybody’s undivided attention is when they discover that they are broke and don’t legally own anything, and have a debt repayment demand that they must legally meet which they couldn’t pay off in several lifetimes of scrimping and saving.

When will people ever get it through their heads that the Dollars (that they compulsively denominate everything in) are a DEBT that depends for its “value” upon that debt being REPAID upon demand?

I know, I know, that’s just all too sophomoric to tolerate, right?

Wrong.

What it is is the simple truth. The one that no one wants to listen to because they prefer to believe that their money and “legally owned” possessions are worth something. Well, I suppose one has to admit that they ARE worth SOMETHING. They’re worth the willingness and ability of the debtor to repay the IOU. If the debtor is unwilling or UNABLE to honor the IOU (the Dollar) then all you’re going to get from them when you demand that they give you real goods in exchange for “legal tender” is a blank stare.

The nation which prints Dollars is about 40 TRILLION Dollars in debt, and falling deeper into that black hole at the rate of another trillion every fiscal quarter. No sign of slowing. Quite the contrary. Throw in corporate and household is another 40. The entire magilla of real assets underpinning that mighty big loan might bring 100 trillion at auction on a good day. It’s looking more and more like a balance sheet that’s either already in the red (probable) or too close for comfort (if you’re feeling comfortable then I want to know what drug you’re taking.)

So all those dollars stored up in all sorts and forms of value representation (from digital ledger entries, to greenbacks to acres of mud in Missouri.) don’t belong to YOU. Legally speaking, they belong to the holders of all that DEBT, and when those debt holders demand repayment then they become the legal owners of all that real stuff. In which case you don’t LEGALLY own anything. Not even own the clothes on your back

Did I mention that America is in debt?

“”Huge Problem”: Pentagon’s Rapid Wartime Response Cargo Ships Trapped In Baltimore After Bridge Collapse

Hahahahaaha! They sound like that Laura characture: “But there are PERMITS you need to get….” Hhahahaha! Exactly what we’re saying. THE ONLY THING STOPPING THINGS IS PAPERWORK. Rules. Law. Not #Reality. No s—t? Okay well, all permits are unnecessary now. Anything else? I got golf at 3. Oh, toxic waste in tunnels is DANGEROUS? Okay, don’t care, be careful then. Anything else? Can I finish this hooker now?

Sooooo… The US Navy is “Trapped in Baltimore?” Have they ASKED them yet? I mean, maybe they have “BOMBS” or something. You know, I’ve heard the Navy has U.S. Navy…salamanders…muskrats, otters or something, Unlike Ketanji Brown, I’m not an expert here. Supposedly they can “Swim” and even go further under water than a goose can? Have you asked them about it?

…No, of course they haven’t. We’re “Trapped”. Help! Help! We’re helpless! Oh noes. Flap flap…

Just like Laura: “It’ll be down for 500 years!!!!!” “We have not another port in the continent!!!!”

No, they’ll drive 30 whole miles out of their way. They’ll GET someone to float this in 30 days IF THEY WANT TO. The cargo will be distributed evenly over every other port, including Montreal. IF THEY WANT TO.

Ah, But like my last comment, They don’t WANT to, do they? They Make S—t Up. Because they Caaaaaaaan, if they want to, print money and start making 777/Patriot/StormShadows, Raw Steel/Shipyards, Barges, Cranes, locomotives, and Caterpillar equipment. Okay, that’s not instant, but you think a CONTINENT of welders MIGHT be able to start getting out their first bridge, crane, arm loaders, in only 30 days? Out of junkyard parts? No?

HOW ABOUT IF YOU GET OUT OF THEIR WAY, then:

GIVE THEM INFINITE MONEY. How about now?

Oh, there are 100,000 Billy-Bobs who are the Flathead Ford version of Tony Stark, who just got off a tour on an oil rig and would LOVE to have an blank-checkbook project.

But 49 of 50 States can, in about 30 days. Hell – I – will go out there all year and bring them coffee just to stand around. So will 90 Million other men.

So…what’s the hubub, bub?

They are also willing to kill as many Europeans as needed, to achieve power.

They just wish they had digital currencies now.

@Wes

I’m beginning to see what the Gold Standard is. It’s the only moderately stable “real thing” that holds still long enough that you can use it to measure what your money and stuff is worth. Hence the word “standard”. Hence the confidence we can have in knowing that there is always going to be a need for it, if for no other reason than that one: you have to have a standard if you’re going to need to measure what things are worth.

@DB Smith: I believe the correct spelling is ‘foo-farraw’. 🙂

Russian technical expertise is superior, IMO, because they understand the cyclic nature of everything. Hence, much better signals tech (radio, encryption, system integration). ‘West’-ish thinking, at least what can be seen, has been trained linear. Happy ending to every story, or some definite ending of some kind. Do this, and that happens. Work toward a permanent steady state of some kind, and never ever ever allow that new equilibrium to be subverted.
