Elio Ciol Via Portica, Assisi 1958 • Trump Is The Only One Who Can Bring Peace To Russia, Ukraine – General (JTN) • DeSantis, Dark Brandon, CNN
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle October 9 2024]Hmm fear porn is flying high on this one. Not saying it won’t be bad however I’m thinking they’re pumping up the intensity of this storm to cover the fact that the infrastructure is in really bad shape due to lack of regular maintenance. Looking at Nullschool the highest surface wind speeds I can find right now is 107
km/hr. The surge will be bad no doubt but cat 5? Maybe at the upper levels near the jet stream.Red have you every looked across Tampa Bay? or looked out to the Gulf from the shore in Biloxi?
The wind does not hold a candle to the power of water.
Biloxi after Camille and the Gulf Coast from Navarre to Destin after Opal tell the tale.just the first ten minutes of the Rogan podcast with the Means is quite enlightening.
Calley Means states people “are starting to wake up”. Mr. Means is of course speaking of the Professional Management Class. if you have ten minutes to find out how psychologically captured the high IQ segment of US culture is this is your chance. wait for the “doing the right thing” comments concerning the opioid problem and the right people in the rooms making the decisions.the United States has a sizeable group of citizens who have spent years in disciplined environments and hundreds of thousands of dollars each to learn how to fuck you over. and they are GOOD at fucking you over.

Kamala, 60 Minutes: Okay, now who leaked this and why? With full text and video? And how often has that happened in the last 10 years? Seems amazingly timed so “our” side can “win”.”

Knowing this would come up, didn’t add to yesterday. The only important people are in the Middle East. We are only allowed to fight for the Palestinians or we’re bad. However, if we fight for ourselves, our own children, in Sioux City instead, we’re “Neglecting” them and that fight. Egypt, France, Italy, Indonesia, China, Taiwan, they all get to ignore that fight: No problem! But when two kids are killed, one in Gaza and one in Topeka, we are villains if we focus on the one here, and work the fight here. No, we have to go halfway around the world, then turn AROUND, face BACK this direction, and fight the same people/system. See? That’s just good and sensible tactics, right? Who‘s with me?
Every American that dies: who cares? Every other person who dies: Crisis! Yup, and WE’RE the bad guy when YOU do that, you people of other countries. Why not? Same as when they in the 12 Blessed Cities say every Red county should die. When you call for genocide like that, it makes YOU good, moral, and right, and the undermensch worthless, violent, and wrong. That’s okay: nobody dgaf what you think anyway. Americans act like you don’t exist because while you’re sitting around criticizing, we’re busy fighting over here. Someday after we win, you’ll tell us how you were fighting all along. Sure pal. What you were fighting was us fighting the real enemy.
“Trump Is The Only One Who Can Bring Peace To Russia, Ukraine – General (JTN)
That’s silly: nearly ANYONE can bring peace there. Cletus and BillyBob on a 4 day drunk could do it. Why? Nobody DGAF about Ukraine. What we payin’ them fo’? I could drink another two days on their dime: sold. Bye.
Also why we don’t need Trump and nothing would happen if he were gone. Except we might get more violent.
““And so for Kamala Harris to try to say that my sole focus on the people of Florida is somehow selfish, is delusional,” said DeSantis. “She has no role in this.”
Um, newsflash: as I say every day, the VICE PRESIDENT HAS NO POWER. None. Zip, zilch, nada, nein. So is she trying to say she’s run a coup and she’s running the country, without enacting the 25th? All reporters: same thing. Don’t know 4th grade Civics. Well, no surprise I guess, as they’re all illiterate. The readers then read this story and ALSO don’t notice.
Biden then draws attention to it and dares her to 25th him. Oh, like Trump said they would? Four years ago?
Trudeau said “there is no reason anyone in Canada should need guns in their everyday lives.”
While walking around with an multi-armed detail for years, as well as everywhere in Parliament, government buildings, and as a child. Is that what we call “Everyday lives”, sir? Ever been North of 60, guy? We don’t need guns, I’ll stand behind Justin when that Polar Bear appears!
““..the truth is both parties signed off on a budget deal earlier this year that increased funding for the new mission authorized in 2023 for FEMA..”
For Senator that voted against FEMA – how rude! — maybe you should note that none of that money went to FEMA and therefore was never going to her Florida district anyway, hurricane or not. Like, that is in the news TODAY, right now. True = True but also = False. It’s happening but also Not Happening. Pick one.

Did they though? And what happens next? So they do that, every ship is sunk, and we have to send Venmo donations to get our soldiers back from Syria in a city bus. …If we’re lucky. So then “of what kind of war dost thee speak?” I don’t know that everyone is 100 years old now and thinks if there’s a war, we’ll win, place or show. We won’t. Soooo….what’s up Doc? If we have a war we won’t win, place, or show in, then it’s a war we’ll lose in 6 hours. There is no manufacturers in America, sooooooo…we will not continue this war. Even if we had men, which we don’t. Therefore, the only POSSIBLE outcome is the end of the U.S. Empire and the withdraw back to our borders. …Which everyone says is a bad thing. “Iran war, oh gosh darn it, it would restore the U.S. as a nation and end military adventurism, let’s avoid it at all costs.”

““At the end of July 2024, the giant BlackRock, the world’s largest investment fund, posted unprecedented losses, seeing $1.7 trillion go up in smoke within a few months..”
Brings up this immensely complicated article by Luongo, which is itself the shortest highlight reel he could make.
BlackRock is the Nazi Central Bank. He touches on this some, but specifically to attack and raid, end Liz Truss, for no particular reason. Saying that as it demonstrates how capricious they are about minor things and depose world leaders at will. …Right Draghi? How’s the view from Athens on that?
Meanwhile, Dimon is poking Mr. Fink in the eye and daring him to squawk. But that’s not real. All people = same people. JFK is the same as Pol Pot, the same as Eisenhower, who is the same as Stalin, who is the same as Patton, who is the same as Putin, who is the same as George Galloway, who is the same as Starmer, who is the same as Ron Paul. It’s all one big club, right? Dimon = Fink = Leguard = Powell = Elvira Nabiullina. One club you all say.
When I put it that way can you grasp how dumb that sounds? Use your head.
It’s not one big club. At a minimum is a number of smaller clubs you’re also not in. And they are all fighting among themselves. Welcome to history. When the second man was born, this started and hasn’t stopped since.

I love Hudson’s take that the USA backed the wrong horse and may change its mind to back the Arabs instead, it is so stupid that only a very old man would still think that way. And his suggestion that everything will change under Trump is hysterical, he seems to forget that Adelson, his funder, is a Zionist and you can bet all his other funders are Zionists. But, fun to hear two old men yabber, even if one is an amicable Jew.

The broken window fallacy states that if money is spent on repairing the damage, it is a mistake to think this represents an increase in economic output and economic welfare.
If money is spent on repairing a broken window, the opportunity cost is that individuals cannot spend money on more productive goods.
The broken window doesn’t increase overall output – it merely shifts an economy from productive output to trying to maintain the existing situation.
It is irrelevant who is in charge of the economy

“..the truth is both parties signed off on a budget deal earlier this year that increased funding for the new mission authorized in 2023 for FEMA..”• How FEMA Got Into The Illegal Immigrant Business (JTN)
—————-
Abruzzo told the Miami press on October 10, 2023: “I am proud to show solidarity with the people of Israel and make Palm Beach County the first county in the nation to increase its investment in Israel Bonds following their declaration of war against Hamas.” Six months later, Abruzzo attacked critics of Israel in the Democratic party as it began the presidential election campaign. “Do I hear, especially from the far-left wing of my Democratic party, concerns about investing in Israel? Yes. Are the public leaders in D.C. of the Democratic Party condemning support for Israel? Yes. . . But I would say to them, we’re not going to be deterred. They need to back off and we need to stand united with our greatest ally, Israel.”
At the same time Abruzzo has claimed: “everything I do financially is, down to the penny, putting personal feelings aside,” Abruzzo said. “None of my purchases was done for a political purpose whatsoever. It’s the dollars and cents and getting the most we can for taxpayers. It’s all economic driven.”
“to increase its investment in Israel Bonds”

So Blackrock looses 1.5 trillion dollars but no explanation of how they managed to do this!
I guess it isn’t enough to matter?
Oh yeah, Blackrock owns the media!I found this simple explanation. (Above my pay grade.)
Does it end with the US imploding under the weight of dollars returning home, after being rejected by the Global Majority?
Posted by: Jeremy Rhymings-Lang | Oct 8 2024 17:37 utc | 32
Nope, absolutely zero chance !
That’s old gold standard, fixed exchange rate type thinking that no longer applies. That thinks a collapse would happen. Bretton Woods ended in 1971 Jeremy.
That and there is hardly any returning anyway as the vast majority already sit in the FED in security accounts. If everybody just dumped them or returned them as you say. Then they would just sit in reserve accounts as $’s instead of a Treasury bill or note.
China has all of these $’s sitting in their reserve account at the FED. After selling American’s goods and services.
What do they do with these $’s ?
After China buys the US goods and services they need with them and after exchanging some for Yaun to pay their export workers what do they do with them Jeremy ?
They swap the $’s for a bunch of US treasuries.
So rather than sit in a reserve account at the FED they sit in a Security account at the FED. A Dollar account with Time and a coupon attached.
So now they decide to dump all of their US treasuries ( sending the $’s back to America meme) what happens ?
They just sit in a reserve account at the FED instead as cash. The reverse happens of when they swapped cash for a US treasury.
Now what are China going to do with these $’s in their reserve account at the FED ?
1. They can spend the $’s on US goods and services.
2. Invest in America as FDI – Foreign direct investment and all that entails.
3. Or they can exchange them for other currencies
4. Or buy more Treasuries
That’s it that is the only choices they have. That’s the only choices anybody has that holds $’s at the FED.
If they choose option 3 – exchange them for other currencies in a floating rate environment, you need a buyer and a seller or the exchange won’t take place.
So if China wants to for example swap
$’s ——–> Euro’s
Then need other people wanting to swap
$’s <——-Euro’s
What’s just happened ?
The $’s haven’t moved they are still in a reserve account at the FED. All that’s changed is the ownership tag. The name on the reserve account has changed. From China to someone else.
None of this collapses America. In fact it makes the $ stronger as all of these $’s are taxed out of the system and makes them scarce. They also probably sell more US goods and services as others try and get rid of their $’s.
So zero chance of US imploding under the weight of dollars returning home. As they move from treasury accounts held at the FED to reserve accounts at the FED hardly anybody even notices.

Blackhawk Rotor Wash Assault https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/blackhawk-rotor-wash-assault
I’m not alone in thinking that we are seeing vindictive attacks by an outgoing political elite, “The Imperial Court”, if I might apply that label. This frustrated rage might be typified by Hillary Clinton’s assertions that “propagandists” need to be jailed, and that if social media won’t “moderate content”, then “we lose total control” as well as John Kerry’s frank explanation that “the first amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to hammer disinformation out of existence.” https://www.zerohedge.com/political/hillary-clinton-desperation-warns-well-lose-total-control-if-social-media-stops-censoring
This imperial court is used to deciding to kill lots of people to achieve desired objectives, and they are feeling very strongly about the objective of staying in power. They stand to go to court and prison, and to have things done to them, which they do to others. This feels Existential to them… I don’t think they will leave any power-cards unplayed. They control the military, covert-operations, and a lot of instrumental players at all levels of state and local government.
Civil-war is a scenario we have heard a lot about in recent years, but there need to be two groups willing to kill each other on a massive scale, and most people really don’t seem to want to go there. People are uncertain of what is real, and don’t want to get manipulated to their own detriment again.
The Owners who the Imperial Court serves are also in a tight-spot, which is getting tighter as the financial Ponzi schemes they have been running in the US, Europe and western global-finance are all getting thin on assets to hypothecate for leveraged-loans. That process has to keep expanding or collapse, as described in “BOE Needs World War Three” https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/boe-needs-world-war-three
The Central banks, regional banks and Too Big To Fail Banks in various jurisdictions are all directly threatened by a loss of faith shooting through the derivatives markets and causing all assets to be grabbed by somebody-somewhere, who holds a derivative option on them when the music stops. This will not be possible to unwind, because the derivative bets exceed the physical assets in value by some large multiplier of hundreds, thousands or more. World War Three Emergency Powers are desired at the top of the hierarchy to sort out all the competing claims on physical wealth, or the power-hierarchy could collapse. I’m personally ok with that option, but facing physical reality before the crash would be able to reduce the severity of the reset through practical negotiations, after determining the overall facts of physical economy, and the many assertions of finance. “Losses to notional wealth” would have to be “assigned” within a society through political process, which would tend to make the small-holders more whole, as it is their life-support, and to enforce largest losses on the largest financial “players” in order to preserve societal cohesion and function.
It’s like the “monkey trap” where the monkey can’t decide to let go of the sweet rice in the coconut with a hole that lets a hand out, but not a fist, so the monkey gets killed.Initial, short video: An unidentified Black Hawk military helicopter deliberately blasted a volunteer supply depot in North Carolina with rotor wash.
Rotor wash from Black Hawk helicopters is very well understood, and its destructive force has been repeatedly documented in multiple military actions abroad. In Mark Bowden’s book, Black Hawk Down, he relates how Black Hawks operating over Mogadishu frequently enraged the local residents by causing significant damage to their property, blasting debris into their eyes, sucking infants out of their mothers’ arms, and even ripping corrugated steel roofs off their homes. https://petermcculloughmd.substack.com/p/blackhawk-helicopter-damages-supplyUpdate, longer video: Watch: Black Hawk Helo Wreaks Havoc On Civilian Hurricane Outpost
The pilots of what appears to be an unmarked Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter generated a massive downwash, also known as rotor wash, that sent tents and aid flying in all directions at a volunteer supply zone operated by private citizens in western North Carolina.
This action by the helicopter pilots is up for debate, with many on X believing this was an intentional act of sabotage by the federal government.
There are no official statements by local, state, or federal governments about the incident. Flight tracking data shows that the Black Hawk is military-owned.
That the Black Hawk approached and hovered directly over the volunteer supply zone certainly raises questions about the mission of this chopper; especially in light of the fact that many residents, officials, and private citizens point out the government’s apparent efforts to block or intercede in rescue efforts outside of FEMA’s control. https://www.zerohedge.com/military/did-govt-black-hawk-helio-sabotage-western-north-carolina-supply-zoneA different chopper, even bigger: Video: Nat’l Guard helicopter destroys hurricane relief team’s gear, injures 3: Report
A disaster recovery team director recently claimed that a National Guard Chinook helicopter flew “way too low” to the ground near the team’s project in North Carolina, reportedly resulting in 3 employees being hospitalized and over $100,000 in damages. The report comes as the Biden-Harris administration is facing criticism over its response to Hurricane Helene.
In a now-deleted post on LinkedIn, Kory Roger Kappes, director of Large Loss – SERVPRO Disaster Recovery Team, said, “Welp… I’ve debated if I should share this or not. But Friday our team and man-camp took a huge hit. A National Guard chinook helicopter was landing next to our project, like the other 100 helicopters we’ve seen this week, and they decided to ‘buzz the tower’, if you will. Coming in way too low and destroying all of our tents, awnings, our lunch, and damaging multiple trucks, trailers, campers, and much more.”
Kappes claimed that the disaster recovery team had to send three of its employees to the hospital and that the team’s campers and gear sustained over $100,000 in damages.
“When confronting the Senior Officer in charge, we were basically told ‘oops, our bad, and see ya,’” Kappes wrote. “I asked for names and was told to kick rocks. All I had was a tail number from the aircraft.”
“Thankfully, my father whom is retired military, knew who to call immediately. Within 30 minutes the National Guard and the FAA had contacted me. And a public affairs officer stopped by our site later to apologize and give me the information to file a complaint and claim.” https://americanmilitarynews.com/2024/10/video-natl-guard-helicopter-destroys-hurricane-relief-teams-gear-injures-3-report/FEMA Helicopters Block Greenville Airport Runway, Banning Aid Deliveries to Desperate Locals
One witness on the ground described the scene: “Yesterday, they flew in over 30 planes with supplies for those in need. But today, FEMA flew in 10 helicopters and blocked the runway here at Greenville Downtown. They’ve taken over, and it’s outrageous.”
Video footage from the airport shows several FEMA helicopters parked on the runway, with no sign of movement or efforts to assist in transporting relief. “The helicopters are just sitting there, doing nothing. Meanwhile, thousands of pounds of supplies are sitting untouched,” said another frustrated volunteer who had been working to organize private aid efforts.
FEMA has reportedly taken over one of the hangars as well, further limiting operations and the ability of private pilots to continue their missions. “They’re halting the aid deliveries when every minute counts,” the volunteer continued. “This is about saving lives, not bureaucracy.” https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/fema-helicopters-block-greenville-airport-runway-banning-aid-deliveries-to-desperate-locals/Private Helicopters Deliver over 500,000 Pounds of Supplies to North Carolina
Local news reports that Savage Operations Center, a volunteer group organized by Adam Smith, is now running dozens of helicopters to deliver aid to residents trapped in the Appalachian mountains.
“The people of Swannanoa, Bat Cave and Chimney Rock are going to be here, and they’ll still be rebuilding their lives and trying to rebuild their homes and trying to figure out what’s next,” Smith said.
“There’s homes that are washed out, people have lost their lives. There’s a lot of people left with nothing, there’s a lot of displaced people. the big challenge now, moving forward, it’s not so much the rescue, it’s how do we find a place for the displaced families?” …

Kiev’s forces wanted to destroy the Kursk nuclear power plant, Sergey Naryshkin has said
British and American spies helped Ukraine develop plans for blowing up the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, which would have plunged Europe into another radiation nightmare, the head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), Sergey Naryshkin, has said.
Ukrainian troops crossed into Russia’s Kursk Region in August, but were stopped short of the nuclear plant in Kurchatov. Speaking at a meeting of intelligence and security principals of post-Soviet states in Astana last week, Naryshkin revealed the West’s disturbing plan for the facility.
“According to intelligence obtained by the SVR, the planned terrorist attack included taking and mining the Kursk NPP,” he said, according to remarks made public on Monday.
”Had they been able to carry it out, Europe would have faced an environmental and humanitarian disaster comparable to Chernobyl,” Naryshkin added. https://swentr.site/russia/605375-kursk-nuclear-threat-svr/The CIA hasn’t seen any evidence that Iran is building a nuclear weapon, agency director William Burns told a security conference on Monday.
“No, we do not see evidence today that the supreme leader [Ayatollah Ali Khamenei] has reversed the decision that he took at the end of 2003 to suspend the weaponization program,” said Burns. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/no-evidence-iran-pursuing-nuclear-weapon-cia-director-saysIran earthquake sparks speculation of covert nuclear weapons test
The possibility that Iran carried out a nuclear test is being discussed at high levels in Tehran amid Israeli threats to bomb the Islamic Republic’s nuclear infrastructure
On 5 October 2024, a 4.5-magnitude seismic event occurred in Iran’s Semnan province, sparking speculation that Iran has tested a nuclear weapon for the first time.
Such a seismic event is typically the result of an earthquake, but speculation has arisen on social media suggesting the event was instead an underground nuclear test carried out by the Islamic Republic in response to Israeli threats to bomb Tehran’s nuclear energy and oil facilities.
According to Iranian sources speaking with The Cradle, the possibility that a nuclear test was indeed conducted is being discussed at high levels in Iran.
Syrian sources speaking with The Cradle in September predicted that Iran would seek to develop breakout nuclear weapons capability in response to Israel’s assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. https://thecradle.co/articles/iran-earthquake-sparks-speculation-of-covert-nuclear-weapons-testRon Paul: American Neocons Get Their Iran War As Congress Sleeps
Over the weekend, the Commander of the US Central Command (CENTCOM), General Michael Kurilla, arrived in Israel to “coordinate” with the Israeli military and plan a military strike against Iran. Think about that for a moment: one of the highest-ranking officers in the US military is planning a war in a foreign country against another foreign country which will be fueled by American weapons, American intelligence, and American tax dollars.
Did that foreign country – Iran – attack the United States or threaten Americans? No, it did not. What did Iran do to warrant a CENTCOM commander bringing the weight of the US military into play to plan a war – possibly WWIII? It retaliated against Israeli airstrikes including the assignation of a Hamas leader, Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/ron-paul-american-neocons-get-their-iran-war-congress-sleepsIsrael Mulling Attacks On Iran Energy Sites Despite Biden Objections
According to the latest from Axios: “Netanyahu refuses to approve Defense Minister Yoav Galant’s trip to Washington planned for tonight until a he gets a phone call with President Biden and until the Israeli cabinet approves the response to Iran’s missile attack”, according to a source with knowledge of the details.
The New York Times reported Monday based on Israeli officials that a significant counter attack is still coming, and it is expected to target Iranian military sites. The fresh report also lists as likely targets Iranian intelligence sites and officials’ offices or headquarters. President Biden has warned against striking Iran’s nuclear sites, and even days ago backed off the idea of hitting energy and oil facilities. Thus a ‘debate’ has still been raging internally as both sides are said to be coordinating the response. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/biden-literally-bribing-israelis-us-taxpayer-funds-not-hit-iran-nuclear-sitesJim Kunstler: Like a Prayer “Whether it’s Facebook or Twitter or X or Instagram or TikTok, whatever they are, if they don’t moderate and monitor the content we lose total control.” Hillary Clinton
Why exactly Hillary Clinton would be dumb enough to come out on every news channel and Internet site on Gawd’s green earth to declare the end of free speech throughout Western Civ might remain one of those abiding mysteries of history. Bad timing doesn’t begin to explain it. What does explain it is the psychotic desperation of her party now that the days to election dwindle down and the pathetic figure they “nominated” stumbles from one campaign blunder to the next, and the whole sick crew behind her entertains dark visions of courtrooms and prison cells — including, by the way, her cohort in nation-wrecking Barack Obama…

Sachs: Here’s the Truth — It Is the Lack of a Two-State Solution That Most Threatens Israel Israel rejects the two-state solution because it claims that a sovereign state of Palestine would profoundly endanger Israel’s national security. In fact, it is the lack of a two-state solution that endangers Israel. Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian lands, its continuing apartheid rule over millions of Palestinians, and its extreme violence to defend that rule, all put Israel’s survival in jeopardy, as Israel faces dire threats from global diplomatic isolation and the ongoing war, including the war’s massive economic, social, and financial costs…

“All of us in the Arab world here, want a peace in which Israel lives in peace and security, accepted, normalized with all Arab countries in the context of ending the occupation, withdrawing from Arab territory, allowing for the emergence of an independent, sovereign Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital.”
Minister Safadi was speaking on behalf of the 57 members of the Muslim-Arab committee, who are all willing “to guarantee Israel’s security” in the context of a two-state solution. Minister Safadi, alongside the Palestinian Prime Minister, articulated the region’s peace proposal, an alternative to Netanyahu’s endless wars. https://scheerpost.com/2024/10/07/jeffrey-d-sachs-heres-the-truth-it-is-the-lack-of-a-two-state-solution-that-most-threatens-israel/Israel’s Genocide Day 367: Israel orders new evacuations in Gaza, expands bombing on Lebanon
The Israeli ground invasion of southern Lebanon continues to face stiff resistance along the border one week on, while the Israeli army has renewed its assault on northern Gaza, laying siege to Jabalia refugee camp for the sixth time since October 7. https://mondoweiss.net/2024/10/israels-genocide-day-367-israel-orders-new-evacuations-in-gaza-expands-bombing-on-lebanon/Slaughter In Gaza And Lebanon As War With Iran Approaches
Israel appears to have begun its long-planned ethnic cleansing of northern Gaza, with the IDF dropping bombs, issuing evacuation orders for multiple hospitals, attacking civilians with sniper drones, and besieging civilian populations in order to force tens of thousands of people to either move south or die. Israel has reportedly been dropping leaflets on the Jabalia refugee camp ordering people to leave, and then shooting anyone who tries to.
Since the seventh of October last year Israel has committed roughly 100 October sevenths in Gaza; scores of American medical workers who volunteered in the enclave signed an open letter to president Biden estimating the real death toll from Israel’s onslaught at over 118,000. Israel has also committed about two October sevenths in Lebanon during that time.

The substance of the Blinken-approved policy was starkly conveyed by Security Cabinet member Bezalel Smotrich, who later told the Israeli media: “We in the cabinet were promised at the outset that there would be monitoring, and that aid trucks hijacked by Hamas and its organizations [sic] would be bombed from the air, and the aid would be halted.”
State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel told Drop Site News: “The suggestion that anyone at the State Department signed off in any way on attacks on humanitarian workers or convoys is absurd. We have always been clear, including in the immediate aftermath of October 7, that Israel has the right to strike Hamas militants. Secretary Blinken has been equally clear that Israel needs to ensure that humanitarian aid is delivered to Gaza and that humanitarian workers inside Gaza are protected.” https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/blinken-approved-policy-bomb-aid-trucksHezbollah pounds numerous Israeli sites amid aggression on Lebanon

If you think of the story of the witch hunts of the 16th-17th century in Europe, you may be under the impression that the typical witch was an old hag living in a hut at the margins of the village, alone with a black cat.
But no, that wasn’t the case. Maybe this kind of marginal people were occasionally killed for being witches, but they were not the usual victims. In reality, witch hunting had a strong monetary component and it was often carried out with a view on making a profit on the confiscation of the assets of the victims. They were not poor and destitute women but, rather, members of the growing mercantile class in Europe.
The profit-making facet of witch hunting has been often ignored by historians, but it is being reappraised and highlighted in recent times, for instance by Johannes Dillinger (2021) and by Shmakov and Petrov (2018). Both articles are highly suggested and provide a remarkable wealth of data about the financial mechanism that led to witch hunts: in short, there was no (or very little) witch hunting where the government didn’t allow the assets of the victims to be confiscated. https://www.senecaeffect.com/2021/09/the-age-of-exterminations-who-will-be.htmlFacebook Gave CDC ‘Backdoor’ Access to Help Remove Millions of Social Media Posts

idunno. I’m no meteorologist, but the buoys do not show what I would expect, given the news.
If they’re trashing non FEMA aid sites, stopping volunteers and aid from getting through, and dragging their feet on their own aid, I start to wonder. Would a whole state fleeing northward towards that area tend to put further strain on the situation? North Carolingians and Floridians fighting over the same $750/night hotel room or $250/night parking spot?

This bugged me, so I thought about it quite a bit…
If they choose option 3 – exchange them for other currencies in a floating rate environment, you need a buyer and a seller or the exchange won’t take place.
So if China wants to for example swap
$’s ——–> Euro’s
Then need other people wanting to swap
$’s <——-Euro’s
What’s just happened ?
The $’s haven’t moved they are still in a reserve account at the FED. All that’s changed is the ownership tag. The name on the reserve account has changed. From China to someone else.
If this logic holds true, then stocks cannot go down in value, since there must be a buyer for every seller. No problem because the stock is still there.
1. They can spend the $’s on US goods and services.
So let’s say they buy modest middle class US houses for 5 million each, barrels of US oil for $300 each, stuff like that. Just glad to get SOMETHING, willing to spend extra and outbid more “Reasonable” buyers.
China was more interested in technology and industrial base transfer than stupid dollars. Dollars are a side effect.
So what if China says screw this, we’re buying all the Gold, Silver, and Platinum at 10% above current prices starting now. Rare earth minerals as well. Lumber. Computer chips. Commodities of all kinds. Send all that shit back to China. We’ll be taking all your portable property now, thank you very much.
Or hell, not getting Gold deliveries? Buy all the pawn shops in the US at a 10-30% markup, create a new Starbux Of Pawn Shops and then start buying everyone’s “old gold” at 10-30% markup and send it all back to China on a boat. Who cares? DGAF, we knew what would happen to those dollars anyway. We got your technology. We got your factories. Fuck it, man. Potter’s not selling, he’s buying.
I was just checking with Guitar Center yesterday and an amp that lists on various places online for around $1000-$1200 will get $385 at Guitar Center. And musicians DO go ahead and take that type of offer as they sell old gear and get new stuff. They know they can sell it themselves at around $700, but with infinite possibilities of hassle, fraud, possibly even physical danger. Worth it to get 30-50% the value out of it and move on. Customary.
On, at top post, Disturbing Health Stats.
For sure dire in the USA and elsewhere as well. To take a radical view, from ONE angle.
For Profit Health Care, without any community / state / group / input, legislation, control, to stop wild profiteering, will result in financial exploitation that veers between keeping people alive – so that they continue to pay – and killing them off – because they are no longer profitable.
Insurance, as a middle man, makes out like a bandit, of course.
Meanwhile, the ‘Health’ or ‘Death’ System is supported by all the employees, bosses, investors, regulators, active within it.
Big Med Corps, Big Pharma, are getting paid, doing well, good dividends, etc. etc. They have tons of employees — doing fine, your neighbours!
US Education is much the same. Higher Edu, College in the US — is expensive, paid for, gone into debt for, the aim being ‘getting in with the in crowd’ or ‘accreditation’ for this or that …. then Education becomes a Biz that sells diplomas, awards, etc.
Big Edu has clients it has to pander to, mostly Parents who pay for their Teens, Young Adults, to get xyz experience, etc, so, well, learning ‘whatever’ goes by the board. The clients who pay have demands that must be met.
