[See the full post at: Debt Rattle November 17 2022]Ukraine: Nazi Salutes all around. Heil!
(Jimmy Dore)I particularly love the soccer stadium of 40,000 people with the sig heil salute. Stay Classy, Biden. You Blue Hairs: never change. Supporting literal Nazis with their heart, soul, and blood. In a country it’s unsafe for blacks to work in because: Racism. Ethnic cleansing.
So is $40 Billion really enough support for them? If they sig heil by the 100,000 and hate blacks, shouldn’t we really give them $100 Billion? $200 Billion? Ah Democrats: Party of the KKK since 1865. Opening slave markets and promoting genocide worldwide.
Fairness? USA Today gives another tongue bath to Pence. Only 50 GOP House opposed war at all. Certainly the last RINOs have not been purged.
“WEF’s Klaus Schwab Gives Speech to G20 on the “Need to Restructure the World”
Who is this guy that he gets to tell the G20 what to do? The NY Longshoreman’s Union doesn’t get to speak. Why this joker?
“Biden on Democrats’ Effort to Codify Roe v. Wade: ‘I Don’t Think There’s Enough Votes’”
52 years in a row! Too soon? Gooooo Democrats! “We care so much™” Roe = Top Priority! “When have we ever lied?™”
FTX by Armstrong. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/cryptocurrency/ftx-crypto-implosion/ He immediately stops talking about Bankman and picks up how MF Global was equally stole money, equally collapsing, equally donors to the DNC, and equally were allowed to do whatever they wanted, against every law. Corzine went on to become a Obama fundraiser to rousing cheers and no discrediting at all. …But that’s true of all fundraisers. If you don’t steal at least a billion dollars now, you’re a nobody. Or kill 100,000 people, like Obama or Fauci. That’s true currency too.
Who was MF Global illegally re-routed by the NY Judge to protect? Why Gislane Maxwell’s father, of course! The pretty-much official-reality Mossad agent. NY saved all his former London banks and Companies, at American taxpayer expense.
“It doesn’t matter who bombed Poland, because Russia bombed Poland.” – Olaf Scholz, translation.
Yup, Don’t burden me with facts and evidence, I wouldn’t follow them anyway. My mind’s made up.
“Great wrap up of massive Russian missile barrages dismantling Nazilensky’s electric grid.even as Ukronazi fanboys have said for six months that Russia is ‘running out of missiles’”
Chilling. Makes me sad. Don’t get into wars, they are very serious business indeed.
“Stocks Sink as Yield Curve Tumbles to Biggest Inversion in 40 Years”
Most economists are unsure if there’ll be a recession. …That we’re already in. While Amazon lost a trillion dollars. Tesla lost half a trillion. Evergrande isn’t paying. And FTX lost $60B.
“This lesson should have been long learnt since the downing of #MH17.”
I agree. If you know anything about MH17, and apply a minute of common sense, this statement stands out.
1) Everything Ukraine says is a knowing lie.
2) Everything the media says is a knowing lie.“It’s not clear this is [the] same missile that struck Poland,”
Slow walking the painfully obvious, another tactic. Because Me = Good, You = Bad, Presumed guilty until they prove a negative.
“ Zelensky Doubles Down on Poland Missile (RT)”
Such desperation shows they’re clearly winning. Russia is turned back and Ukraine will occupy Moscow to Vladivostok soon.
“Zelensky was quick to blame “terrorist” Russia for what he described as an attack on NATO”
Because words have no meaning, generally States cannot be terrorists. They are war mongers. An “Attack” must by definition be intentional. It must also be relevant, as with a Russian car accident in Berlin. And when Russia attacks NATO, you won’t have any doubts about it or miss it. This is perhaps the greatest crime, similar to the Western hyperventilating about everything from “Violence” to “Rape”. When disagreeing in a college debate is a “mass attack,” and being a bad pickup artist is rape (Cuomo), what you’ve really done is water down the word and meaning itself. That is a direct attack on every person who actually was raped. So congratulations for attacking the weakest, voiceless, and most vulnerable. Stunning and Brave. So proud. I see the same with “PTSD” for people who’ve had to choose a different pudding, or sit with someone they don’t prefer. “Obsessed”, “Victim” “Hate” “Racism”, practically none of these words are used correctly, and each a specific attack on those who were and are experiencing real, actual problems and not imaginary ones. Hollow, narcissistic adult toddlers in Depends.
So with Ze here. He’s trying to pretend there’s a war and Europe is being attacked – even Ukraine. No, if Russia was attacking Ukraine, there would be 10 seconds, 10 mushroom clouds, and 10 years of silence. London likewise, and all the Scottish sub bases. Boop: Gone. So in a real sense Russia truly IS not at war yet. They haven’t declared one, so there’s that as well.
Ze: stop attacking all people on earth and reason itself, these things have consequences. But that’s what Nazis do.
Oh and Ukraine, the world’s top killer of Poles, is demanding all this of Poland, poste haste. Chop chop, you Untermensch. Don’t make us come up there with cattle cars again.
“My staff was unsuccessful in getting me linked up with General Gerasimov,”
That’s because Russia only talks to real and relevant Generals, not useless posers.
“Polish General Roman Polko said that the country’s air defenses should assume responsibility for part of Ukraine’s territory,”
No, this is a different thing. Poland is annexing their part of Ukraine as predicted. First as a “Security guarantee” then later, since they’re already running the place, as a permanent feature. The UN will of course approve of this future referendum vote. So this is a trial balloon, but like everywhere, “Poland” is not one thing, but comprised of factions. This general feels go forward. Other parties, and even the people, may not want to adopt the world’s largest population of violent, seig heiling Nazis.
“Berlin had proposed to help Poland patrol its airspace,”
We remember how they “helped Poland” by moving their army in there last time. But Germany doesn’t have an army anymore, just untrained men in a junkyard, so nothing to worry about. Therefore “What help”? What would Germany send? Moral support? They already refused to send multi-billion Euros that were long owed.
“Identified it as a S-300 air defense missile, with Poland calling it “Russian-made”
Yes, and the planes that hit the Twin Towers were American made. Your point?
“ Poland Wants Russian Oil Despite EU Embargo – Kommersant (RT)”
“Russiaphrenia: the Madness Edition” We are both at war with them, and close trading partners. This makes sense when you realize nations have been subjugated to corporations, but presently are near equal size and coexist. –The goal of course is for corporations to supersede government and the corporate-government merger with unaccountable monopoly corporations as the senior partner. Google and Facebook. Look into Senator Blowhard’s history, then tell him how to vote. If the citizens don’t vote with adequate enthusiasm, they are fired and their bank cards shut off.
“the EU and the UK may not survive next winter, 2023-2024, without Gazprom.”
I don’t think I can stand another year of this. It needed to be over, oh, maybe 1995? When Bill had Alan print a million trillion dollars and rig the gold price to win the election?
“ Eurozone Facing Deep Recession – Economists (RT)”
No it’s not: we just re-defined all the words and lied about the numbers. Easy! Poof! No recession, everyone’s fine. Those French women are protesting for nothing!
“an abrupt end to Russian gas imports, and the need to provide financial support to households and firms struggling with the energy crisis.”
Every day, in every way, I get dumber and dumber. Again, and 10,000 times again, MONEY WON’T HELP if there is no supply. It can make the price of oil go infinite though.
What they’re doing is starting a subsidy for space-blaster rays. In fact, we printed enough that every Ralpie can afford that Red Ryder space-blaster ray. …One problem though: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SPACE BLASTER RAYS. They don’t exist, we didn’t land on Ewok and make a trade agreement, there is zero supply and doesn’t look to be any in the future.

“Chairman Xi dresses down Justin from Canada publicly, in view of cameras and microphones.”
Yes, but why? What’s really going on? No offense, but Canada as presently constituted is a nobody. They have no relevance, even their former moral relevance. They’re hardly even a colony of the Crown. Maybe Xi is annoyed Canada is not HIS colony, under HIS police and interference, as the Han believe is inevitable and right?
“the NY Times on Monday published a cowering puff-piece which mentioned exactly none of the major accusations against the well-connected Democrat mega-donor.”
1) It was the NY Times.
2) They were lying.Gosh people are slow learners.
“ SBF’s support of Democratic candidates to the tune of $40 million, … may have been done with “stolen customer funds.”
May have? And like Corzine of MF Global not only does it, has the DNC connections cover it, not only isn’t arrested, but actually continues on as a major Obama fundraiser? Yeah, that’s probably SBF’s future: DNC Chairperson.
“FTX Collapse Dooms Founder’s Effort to Prevent Another Pandemic”
…He prevented the first one? Did they do this like Obama did, by erasing and not replacing all the nation’s masks, then outsourcing ALL pharmaceuticals to China, who is our named enemy? If we get in a war, we won’t have insulin and antibiotics, yet you somehow claim you’re serious. About anything.
“US officials use the “politically correct” rhetoric of multipolarity and multilateralism,”
Yes, but to be fair, they were speaking, so they were lying.
“Firm commitment that the fighter jets will not be used against America’s allies.”
Unlike NordStream II, which was definitely bombed by our allies. And the 2016 Turkish coup, definitely run by our allies. And the colonial extraction of all Greece and Cyprus, definitely done by our allies. But you get the point.
But why would Erogan want a jet from 1976? Does he want some Sopwith Camels to go with that?
“Sperm Counts Plummeting Dramatically – Faster Than Previously Thought (EHN)”
Yup, big coincidence. It came from nowhere. It means nothing. Nobody cares. Yet somehow was in all the White Papers of all the WEF/Rome NGOs going back 50 years. Well, my work here is done! As Bill Gates says, “If we could only vaccinate Africa, we could really bring the population down.” When he says this, everyone nods their heads: How DARE you criticize or suspect Bill Gates! Don’t you know he’s rich? And isn’t even a programmer, much less a doctor or scientist? Why, he’s practically an expert!
“Did you have confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters inside The Capitol”?
Let’s see: they had the head of the Proud Boys: an FBI informant. They VP of Oath Keepers, an FBI informant. Ray Epps, an FBI informant and paid provocateur. As well as people the booth who hit the button for the magnetic lock on the 2,500 pound doors. Oh and 13 of the 15 Whitmer conspirators.
And both AOC and Pelosi both said they knew ahead of time.
I do not find this suspicious at all.
Buffalo gets 3 feet of snow. But I thought there was only drought now? If we report the drought, then we have to report the rain, don’t we? Or do we just lie to ourselves all the time now?

Chinese President Xi Jinping has publicly dressed down Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for leaking the content of their meeting to the media.
Done for a reason, embarrassing Turdeau is not a reason, so we have to wonder why this happened. Is China up to something that it should not be doing and is threatening to wash the Canadian dirty laundry in public? Xi planned this, not because he was annoyed, he has dealt with similar wankers to Turdeau before, so this has a meaning and my guess is that it is a warning, maybe directly to Trudeau’s boss.

IWK health center is not alone in seeing massive increases in myocarditis in young people. My own surveys clearly showed at least a 10-fold increase in myocarditis rates once the vaccines were introduced. That’s an increase from the rates under COVID only. My survey showed only a 10-fold increase because most people reported seeing zero cases before the vaccine so it skews the numbers.Any doctor who tells you that the rates of myocarditis are lower with the vaccine should be reported to their state medical board for spreading misinformation.
The CDC claims that the risk of myocarditis is only “slightly elevated.” How do they explain this 100X increase? I don’t know. They block my emails now and ignore my phone calls. Fortunately, I can buy billboards to communicate with them to let them know about serious safety signals.
This article is more evidence that the COVID vaccines are a disaster and should be halted immediately.

The Poles seem to hate Russia even more than the Ukrainian Nazis. I can understand them hating Communist Russia but I have no idea why they have a hatred bordering on insanity for the current regime.
They are willing to support the Ukrainian Nazis who venerate those responsible for the murder of 60,000 Poles in WWII.
When these missiles fell their first thought was to try and invoke war between NATO and Russia even before any investigation had been done! [Hence the ‘insanity’ comment.]
I would not be surprised to find out that Ukraine fired the missiles deliberately in order to create an escalation.

GOP Wins House … And Celebrates With A Hunter Biden Press ConferenceGet Ready, Folks
The bullshit has already begun.The GOP won the House yesterday, and the first order of business is to tee up the Hunter Biden “investigations.”
At 9:30 a.m. ET, the incoming chairmen of the House Judiciary and Oversight committees will hold a press conference on Capitol Hill to preview their bogus probes into the President’s son.
Let me repeat: These are the new chairmen of two major House committees, not some fringe backbenchers angling for airtime.
The culprits are Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and James Comer (R-KY). But it’s not just them. It’s the whole right-wing apparatus rolling out the B-E-N-G-H-A-Z-I playbook.
It was on full display on Sean Hannity’s show last night. First, presumed incoming Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) had his own segment talking up various investigations of the Biden administration. Then Jordan and Comer immediately followed with their own lengthy segment on the Hunter Biden nonsense.
“We are going to make it very clear that this is now an investigation of President Biden,” Comer told Hannity about their focus on Hunter.
Media coverage of these manufactured scandals is so painful to watch: taking them seriously, amplifying the bogosity, making them part of the national political agenda. For our part, we’re going to be vigilant in telling you a toxic circus has come to town without trafficking in elephant manure. Onward.
————We read that they’ve discovered a vaccine for fentanyl. I didn’t known that fentanyl is a microbial pathogen. Not only is this in sync with the ongoing dissolutions of meanings (like male/female, which are currently blended in incestuous semantics), but I can hardly imagine what the Davos Overlord camp will make of it:
A Vaccine Against Deadly Fentanyl Might Be Near
” “Our vaccine is able to generate anti-fentanyl antibodies that bind to the consumed fentanyl and prevent it from entering the brain, allowing it to be eliminated out of the body via the kidneys. Thus, the individual will not feel the euphoric effects and can ‘get back on the wagon’ to sobriety,” Haile explained in a university news release.
“The team has tested the drug on animals but plans to start manufacturing a clinical-grade vaccine in the coming months and to start human trials. However, research in animals does not always pan out in humans.”
While Davos et al hardly concern me of themselves, for I see them as straw dogs in an ill wind, what the article describes makes a fellow want to line hisd chapeau with tin foil.
***
As for Polish hatred of Russia: I suppose this is nationalist of me to say, but Poles seem to have a knack for blaming their problems on Russia.
***
AH, tin foil hats…
Technically, I suppose it is a vaccine:
“a substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases, prepared from the causative agent of a disease, its products, or a synthetic substitute, treated to act as an antigen without inducing the disease. “every year the flu vaccine is modified to deal with new strains of the virus” ”
But it’s really just genetic mayhem disguised as therapeutic medicine.
But Poland did give us Gene, so there’s that:
One thing Justin and Trudeau senior both achieved in common, was to wear out their welcome mat all around the world.
The only reason Trudeau senior was in Cuba is because he wasn’t welcome anywhere else!
Justin has managed to duplicate this feat too. Nobody in the world wants Justin visiting their country if they can help it.
So little potato got publically embarrassed on the world stage. He is an idiot afterall.

Endemic corruption is like endemic disease. It’s not special anymore. And because it is not esspecially remarkable anymore it becomes “just one of those things” , and disappears into the swirling mudpie slush we call “Normal”. It’s not a “nice” thing to exist, of course, but it is “just one of those things” that exists despite our personal preference that it not. So what becomes of that corruption in the minds of the people who live under it?
Poof! Gone! We stop seeing it. We stop seeing corruption for what it simply is. And what it IS is totally unacceptable under any circumstances. Corruption, by definition, is that which is deemed by the people to be totally unacceptable under any circumstances. That’s what a law or moral code clearly expresses within it’s own statement of law. But wait! If people are ACCEPTING the “unacceptable” then that means that it wasn’t REALLY unacceptable at all in the first place! Something can only be one or the other. It’s either acceptable or it ain’t.
Yet that’s the way it is with central banking and government (of every and all kinds), who are thoroughly and completely corrupt in every way. They control and rule the world. To control both the medium of exchange and the governing apparatus of a society is to control that society. Period. Full stop. End of sentence. Mic drop. No further explanation is necessary for any except the most irremediably stupid or naive.
When you get to cut the cake AND be the one who decides who gets the pieces, then that cake is YOURS, bro.
So it is with central banking and government, who are joined in their mutual interests and who are in full collusion AGAINST the people to whom they are CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED to serve.
But then again, it is endemic, isn’t it?
Now that the House GOP are going to investigate Hunter Biden and Dr. Fauci, neither of these two need to worry any more about ever being criminally charged with any crimes.
This is the whole political purpose of the investigations. To clear them of any criminal wrong doing.
Why misinformation on CO2 yet again, RIM?
Current atmospheric CO2 is not 400 ppm. it is close to 420 ppm, having gone through the seasonal decrease due to photosynthesis. Atmospheric will significantly exceed 420 ppm in May 2023, as industrial emissions continue to exceed nature’s capacity to remove CO2 from the biosphere.
Next May’s atmospheric CO2 will be about 193 ppm above the 800,000-year long-term average of 230 ppm, i.e. up by 84% on that baseline, and up from the pre-industrial level of 280 ppm by 143 ppm, i.e. up 51% from that somewhat elevated baseline.
This remarkable increase is almost entirely due to the desequestration of previously sequestered carbon in order to power industrial societies.
With such a massive increase in one of the factors that controls the average temperature of the Earth, it is hardly surprising we are witnessing planetary meltdown, exemplified by the huge loss of glacial ice almost everywhere, loss of sea ice and rising ocean temperatures. This overheating currently manifests in places where humans live as extreme climate instability in the form of severe droughts, severe inundations, melting of permafrost, uncontrollable forest fires etc..
There is a karmic payback emerging, as the US, the nation that most vigorously championed rapid depletion of energy resources and no action whatsoever to reduce industrial emissions now faces collapse from climate instability and severe drought induced by excessive carbon dioxide emissions that result from ‘lifestyle choices’ and political corruption going back to the mid nineteenth century.
Black Friday approacheth, when the mall gets mauled:
“Current atmospheric CO2 is not 400 ppm. it is close to 420 ppm, having gone through the seasonal decrease due to photosynthesis”
I guess the producer of the dot diagram above just couldn’t figure out how to represent 0.2 of a dot – they’re already pretty tiny.
At some point, a tiny increase in CO2 will be the straw that broke the camel’s back.

So it is with central banking and government, who are joined in their mutual interests and who are in full collusion AGAINST the people to whom they are CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED to serve.
But then again, it is endemic, isn’t it?
So I suppose this all leads to the rather pivotal question of what exactly IS corruption anyway? That’s surprisingly easy. Corruption is any act, or arrangement of actions, by one or more people which attempts to extract from the common good /common wealth MORE than they contributed to the common good / common wealth.
Remarkably, voluntarily giving MORE than one takes out never becomes an issue. Surplus can either advance the society, or be wasted back into entropy or lay around cluttering the place up until someone puts it to use. When we voluntarily give more than we get it’s not a problem. In fact, we usually feel proud of ourselves for it.
But attempting to take out MORE than was put in and the consequences are grisly. Basically, that item which was taken had to come from somewhere, and the somewhere that it came from was thereby robbed. Sufficient amounts of robbery can be fatal, and often are. In all sane societies robbery is unacceptable. So is murder.
Perpetrators of this robbery (whether merely attempted or actually consummated, the results are much the same) are trapped by their own misguided delight in the belief that they are “winning” by taking all of the stuff that other people have made. They know exactly what they’re doing. Indeed, they literally measure their success by the quantity of what they steal, and they believe that anyone not wise to that grim “fact of life” is a fool who deserves to lose whatever is stolen from them.
I reckon that evil LIKES being evil, and the stature it gains them, because all that loot proves to their crippled minds the superiority of lies and cheating over the truth and justice. Can’t get much crazier than that.
Anyway, my point is that the “synthetic archetype” of such personalities enjoys telling victims what is being done to them and what worse things will come next, because such brazen effrontery displays (once again) the impregnable power and overall general superiority of evil over good (to their fatally short-circuited algorithmic way of thinking).
They believe their victims are trapped and helpless, and they delight in knowing that the victim knows it, too. By the perpetrator’s twisted logic this injustice proves their point, and they crave that reassurance so compulsively that they require nearly constant reminder.
“They” (the synthetic archetype mentioned earlier) believe ultimate power is within reach and will soon be in their grasp. That self-deluding feedback loop is almost impossible to interrupt, until the UNIVERSE does it for them by demonstrating that the laws of Universe (i.e. Truths) are absolute, including the one that truth works better than lies in navigating through the Universe.
Lies are an inescapable dead end because they are, by both fact and definition, that which is NOT aligned with reality, and will thus always lose any contest against the reality of what actually IS.
That wall is where this tragicomedy must and always ends. That which is IS and that which is not, is NOT. Those who try to take more than they give are simply, tragically, wrong. But they won’t believe it until reality teaches them the lesson.
One of you good engineers or money wonks out there please correct me if I’m wrong.
Doesn’t Bitcoin (or ANY digital store of value) essentially reside on computers which in turn depend on the continued operation of the World Wide Web of networked computers, which in turn depend upon the continued generation of really BIG quantities of carefully directed flows of electricity?
So what happens if there is a serious interruption or capture of the network or sources of electric power generation? Even if the interruption was relatively brief would it not result in quadrillions of money units instantly vanishing, going away to wherever errant electrons go when the lights flicker out?
