[See the full post at: Debt Rattle October 11 2022]Energy is the ‘master of the universe’, contrary to what Wall Street bankers, politicians and economist think and say.
1959 was quite a good year in England; rationing was largely forgotten, bomb sites were fewer in number, much reconstruction had been completed, industry was back on its feet, and consumer goods were starting to become available.
However, people were rather shocked to discover how far ahead of Britain/US the USSR was in the space race.
And in 1959 they had little idea how quickly it would all turn to custard just 14 years later.
I do occasionally leave the village, and on one fairly recent excursion saw the following amusing sign: “Kiln dried firewood’.
I did not enquire, so cannot say whether the water in wet logs is driven out using electricity or natural gas.
All good stuff: chop down trees using petrol-driven chain saws. Cut into lengths using petrol-driven chain saws. Split the rounds into fire-size logs using petrol-driven splitters or electrical splitters. Take the wet logs to a depot using diesel-powered vehicles. Dry the logs using electricity or gas. Deliver the logs to consumers using diesel-powered vehicles. Or invite customers to collect their ‘renewable energy’ using trailers pulled by petrol-powered or diesel-powered vehicles.
And everyone involved in the process is kept alive via industrially-produced and industrially-distributed food.
Sometimes burning coal is actually better than so-called renewables. And I hate having to say that, since I hate the mining and burning of coal. But coal does have an incredible ‘energy density’ – which is why it triggered the Industrial Revolution.
In ‘Return to Olduvai’, Richard Duncan speculated that Industrial Civilisation would collapse around the year 2030 as a consequence of losing the ability to maintain electrical grids.
It could be well before 2030 for Ukraine, Sri Lanka, Lebanon….
Richard Duncan : Olduvai Gorge – Civilization ends when Electric Grids Permanently Fail
Putin , “When we send our missiles to bomb you it is a Special Military Operation , when you strike back at us it is terrorism.” What a vast masturbator.
153… slipped finger
22022022. I just noticed that is the date of the SMO starting in the non-US format, and palindromes are appealing to me.
Everyone should have known communism was not going to work. I mean, there were so many red flags.
I can’t believe they’re still at it: UK, Germany, printing “subsidies” for residential natural gas. Okay, great! The people finally get something other than war (because of the war). Problem? There are say 100k “Units” of gas in all Europe. That has to be divided between them. If they 2x the “money” available for it, they 2x the price. And there are still 100k “units”, no additional gas.
So you CAN cause inflation, even hyperinflation, and you STILL can’t heat houses.
This is not rocket science. …Unless Germany and UK are unfairly stealing their ration of gas from Italy and Spain?
I guess I should add, in a “normal” subsidy (if there is such a thing) raising prices would then increase supply using a thing called “Capitalism” that Europe has outlawed. They would get the gas from “Gas Wells” and suppliers like Russia whom they have outlawed. Then the high prices would ration stupid uses, where reducing use they have outlawed. That’s why they have the subsidy: so you can keep using without rationing, even if you’re one Al Gore in one of his many 5,000sq ft houses.
“France to Spend €100 Billion to… Fight Inflation” I say keep going. You won’t learn until they float the next Assignat.
10-year bumping back on 4%, making a nice continuing chart that needs confirmation breakthrough.
US$ approaching the long high of 120. Europe (and the UN) literally attacking us and the Fed because “we all need to devalue in unison or there’ll be inflation”. No, YOU’ll have the inflation you asked for. We’ll just have reality be obvious and admitted for a change.
I think that means we’re headed in the right direction, and it’s having a deep effect that is too late for them to divert from. In other words: Davos is screwed. Their plans to take over the world and run it from the UN with Eco-fascism is unworkable. However, we still need the long, deadly march from Normandy to Berlin. I suspect they’ll get it in, get their 3 1/2 years of Tribulation before it all blows to h–l on them. That’s an Israeli-Euro prophesy not an American one. They’ve already killed more people than ever in history in just 2 years and no one notices, they demand it, eager for more.
“This Is Serious”: Jamie Dimon Says S&P Could Shed Another 20%, Warns of US Recession In 6 To 9 Months”
And who will survive? Where will global capital flow?
Look at it this way: What does Dow, Gold, Bitcoin look like not here, where they’re flat to down, but in Pounds, in Europe? Yeah, that’s a 30% rise in BTC for them though a big zero for us Americanos. It looks like an AWESOME investment. These perceptions matter, strangely, because if you’re in England, Japan, Canada, you can spend that ‘perception’ in real dollars.
“PayPal Stock ‘Fined’ 6% after Flood of Users Cancel over $2,500 ‘Misinformation’ Debacle”
This was fun: PayPal says they reserve the right to “Fine” you (their words) $2,500 for ANY bad words on ANY platform, anywhere, at any time, or in real life, at their sole discretion, with no process or appeal. And they’re not a court, where the word “fine” means something. That’s not the funny part. The funny part is, they said releasing this was “an accident” (an accident? You create grave, long-winded press releases for things you have no plans on doing, like your policy concerning PayPal use among Sasquatch?) No, the FUNNY part is, their statement on misinformation…is misinformation. So should they fine themselves 10,000 times and give the money to US? I think so. Cue the lawsuits.
Who is “Disinformation” to Chad at Twitter? Oh, you know, Doctors, Nurses, Pharma Execs, State Surgeon Generals… All things “Not Us.” All things “not Ego”. All things “Not Profit”.
It shouldn’t have to be said, but it seems the internet is saying blowing the bridge is a serious business, connects Russia to critical Crimea, etc, etc. Are we being real here? They JUST took 4 whole STATES and have a 100-mile wide land connection to Crimea. They have no need of the bridge at all, really, since clearly they have a stake in the ground in keeping the whole land bridge and don’t need the sea bridge.
I’m sure bridges are very nice, direct route East, biggest in world, record time, all that, but really?
It’s a war: barely worth keeping it functional except as a backup route.
Pipeline, blown by “Washington”? Not so much. So we have a terrorist group blowing multi-billion dollar infrastructure, threatening the whole world, probably killing tens of thousands, far surpassing 911 and…nothing.
Covid Booter shots refused: You know, the shots that don’t stop Covid and don’t stop the spread.
Obviously they don’t like that because the Doctor saying it is Black. Must. Stop. All. Black. People. They must. Obey. White Karen. Biden decides who is Black or not, and you ain’t Black, Jack! (no, literally, Joe said this.)
If Webb is right, would YOU negotiate peace if you were Putin? Why? They are “Not Agreement Capable”. The last two times they lost they threw a coup, then spent 8 years training a Nazi army of racist civilian killers (not an exaggeration). And you’d stop now for why? So they can re-reinforced Azov again? So you can just let them keep your $800B dollars they stole? They’re not giving it back, they’re “Not agreement capable.” They still have Ukraine, Libya’s, and Venezuela’s gold.
Kunstler: “Maybe we’ve had enough of romancing death.” Nope. Love it more than ever. It is our one true love and sole desire.
“shows beyond any doubt that West has now set a course on total terrorist warfare.”
Nope: the word “Terrorist” like the word “Racist” now means all things, all nouns, verbs, adjectives, all math and all human actions in all time and space. That is to say: it means nothing. Thumbs down on Twitter? “Terrorist”. Vote against Joe Biden (while creating a worldwide nuclear holocaust and the end of humans on earth in a fiery, flesh-melting radiation)? You’re a Terrorist.
Definition: Terrorists create “Terror”. That is to say, as a tactic they are dead-useless, accomplishing nothing, because otherwise, their tactic would be called “War”. Their tactic is ALSO dead-useless because YOU have to be a milksop, crying, whining p—-y, who is afraid of life and everything in it. That is YOU are WILLING, ready, anxious even, to experience “Terror” and get your Woke points on in the Woke Olympics, having hurt your feels. Because YOU having “Terror” is an INTERNAL PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE, which is controlled by YOU. Not them.
None of this is “Terror”. At all. It isn’t randomly blowing up a school bus of children, holding them hostage then killing them one by one to wring it out as long as possible. –And if you were an Indian, you’d know it’s just a war, they’re just planning on killing your children anyway, someday, because that’s what “They” do, and today is just that day, and a good day to die. There is no “terror” in that, there is only inevitability. Because “they”, the dominant culture, just steals, attacks and kills ALL things (all things “Not them”, not “ego”) because that is what they do. So when your sworn enemy, who attacks and kills things every day, finally gets around to your town, your Indian school, your kids: that’s just war. No terror involved. And there’s no advantage, because only IF you fall into fear and abandon all your cultural principles does it matter if they’re trying to kill you – and your kids – AGAIN. If you are you, and have your principles, and don’t join cultures that kill everything they’ve ever met, then how can you fear? You simply respond because you already knew this was coming, and coming for 30 years. You just had a little off-base R&R first.
Cutting your phone lines, not shipping those extra Twinkies, is not “terror”. Likewise, cutting your petrol is not “terror”. Cutting your Ukrainian Starlink is not “terror”. Cutting your natural gas is not “terror.” It’s war.
So we have a War on Infrastructure, worldwide. And that is a War on all Civilians and Humans, worldwide. They are killing humans, maximum, because they hate all humans, maximum, and want all humans to die, maximum. Have you not read their papers? Then read their headlines: if all humans don’t die, RIGHT NOW, the Earth will burn up and vanish from it’s orbit around the sun, and then how will I golf on my favorite private course in Tuscon? I mean: Priorities, people! Let’s blow some s—t up right away! As many kids as possible! Let’s Light up some cities, man! (misspelled it yesterday) Nuclear exchange forever! When do we want it? Now!
Okay, again, don’t let them float this word like “hate speech” “misinformation” or “terrorism” then expand it’s meaning to all items and people in the universe. Words have meanings. This word is being as misused as saying you want a “Watermelon” when really you meant “Respiration”.
Worldwide War on Infrastructure. = Worldwide War on Humans. And a war against Life itself, on earth, in all forms. And all #Logos. Now what religion is that? What god? Yes, it sounds like I’m exaggerating when I say it, but I’m not. Deduce for yourself from their most vigorous actions.
“Yes, this is Satanism against any sort of Spiritual Tradition.” From the next article. It sounds strange when he, they, say it, but what other accurate definition and conclusion could one draw?
“I thought I would die long before it would happen, even if it did happen. I was waiting for the end of the world and now hope has been given us.”
Yeah, me too waiting for any such speech at home here. Except “We’re arresting Hillary” speech. But that means we would have to ACT on such empty words and they haven’t. And Putin has only a leeeetle bit. Because he will ask YOU to act, and die, for it.
“Ukraine Halts Electricity Exports to EU (RT)”
Because nobody will tell the truth AND every reporter and Western person is a drooling moron, I can’t figure out what’s happening. But this response is beginning to make sense. Who is attacking? Europe and NATO. Why? Because without killing, dismantling, and selling off Russia, they collapse. Therefore, attack Europe and not Ukraine or whatever chihuahua is ankle-biting. How? By letting them die from non-bombs, economically.
“exactly as were two airliners aimed at the Twin Towers. Those were all…… terrorism.”
No they were not. Because I was not afraid, and also didn’t care. So a building catches on fire in NY somewhere? Happens every day. Fewer people died than die in traffic accidents. The only risk for such an astonishing non-action, and non-attack, was if we were to overreact. And thank God Osama wrote that his whole intention and war-plan was to make the U.S. overreact, destroy all our own laws and values, and bankrupt ourselves, so clearly we could avoid it. Right?
It’s not terrorism if you’re not afraid. Man up, Daisy-Mae. And it’s not an “Attack” if if hits useless objects of no military or economic relevance, and therefore an organism as large as the United States is almost perfectly unscathed, as if a hive had lost two soldier bees. Get a grip. They did not, because they are not men, and also not Americans. They are men-shaped, General shaped objects like Milley is, deserving neither thought nor respect.
“Trump Shreds Four Former Presidents, Hillary Clinton (CB)”
Conservative Brief obeys all the Leftist adjectives and all the Left’s talking points. Which side are they on here? Trump must always “tear into”, “Rail against”, etc. You’re a journalist, therefore the only word we use is “Mr. Trump ‘Said.’” Except in unique conditions, any other presentation is propaganda. And you’re propaganda-persuading AGAINST yourself. What sense does that make? If you’re going to be an Activist, not a journalist (crazy, I know), then at least be an Activist for the right side. Very standard, which is why the Republican Party should and needs to be erased. Happily, all sides agree on this goal.
“Americans today are more likely to believe in witches, ghosts, and astrology than to trust the federal government.”
Yes, and along with the fantasies they print at real – that any statement by any government should be credited at all – there are probably more people who believe in Flat Earth than there are KKK members. Or them and the Nazis combined. Or even what we used to call racists, back when words had actual meanings. That is, people who admit, are proud to be racist, and wouldn’t stay in the same room with other races. If you poll on that right now, no one will admit it, so there are probably fewer “racists” in America than transgender people. Want to test me? Look it up.
Assange “But federal agencies are creating trillions of pages of new “classified’ secrets each year.”
Yes, because they “Classify” everything. For no reason. They just don’t want any oversight, and don’t want you to look at it. No one reviews if if SHOULD be classified, ever. No one de-classifies. No one gets clearance and reads it to get oversight (like Congress). That is, the bureaucracy is an unaccountable, unelected government unto itself, who is a foreign occupier against YOU, against The People. The DGAF government. Pay me. Shut up or I’ll arrest you. Worse than pre-revolutionary France.
From the Internet:
“with allies like the USA, who needs enemies? And being the US’s ally also means you’re stuck being enemies with the US’s enemies. So you’ve got an ally that doesn’t treat you like an ally, and a bunch of enemies you didn’t make mad at you because you’re allies with the US. It’s increasingly hard to see the advantage…”
Good way to put it.
Polemos, strangely, after dead-on 222222 for the war — and these guys love their numerology and astrology — I am seeing them reliably report it as 2 – 24 for some reason. Do they think we didn’t notice? Or notice why? Why’d you change it, who are you covering up for? Stranger than just letting sleeping dogs lie.
Okay, let’s get the manufacturing consent and framing out of the way first AFKTT.
The cutting down of a tree is the first cut in the process of docking so is of no use in splitting them into two actions unless you want to proceed to tell me how many of these cutting downs will then happen to said imaginary length. Is it ten or 100? How long is the tree? You haven’t specified so it is meaningless except as an abstract “petrol was used in the making of this firewood”. Also you say the wood is green? Says you. Not mine, dried dead in the sun on it’s own with nothing to do with me.
You have ignored that coal can’t be dug up in your back yard and can only be used once.
ONLY USED ONCE.
Trees literally fall down and die begging to be used. Trees grow out my back door – I didn’t move to a coal mine. They can be grown for free and make oxygen and shade and fruit. Are you anti-fruit?If ya don’t want to cut down the tree or use petrol pick up sticks.
If the fire isn’t burning efficiently enough for you build a rocket stove they are 10 times more efficient than a conventional wood burner.I’m trying real hard to not be disrespectful but you’re arguments are conceptual and not practical.
So you are annoyed at the use of fossil fuels being wasted to yield REPLACEABLE BTU’s but are in favour of massive inputs to USE ONCE on non-replaceable BTU’s of energy.Forests keep growing and growing and growing and growing.
I was at a beach today in the Cooloola great sandy national park. Giant bone-dry, dead hardwood Eucalyptus and Corymbia/Lephostamon, all heavily leaning backwards away from the dominant south eastern prevailing winds, tell the story as they stood underneath the canopy of coppiced newer trees (mostly brushbox).
The story goes like this.
Up until the early 1800’s when the local aboriginal people were wiped out by small pox and a touch of intended English genocide they lived in a fire-scape of subtropical coastal heath and mixed vegetation. To live there, they had to get meat (create grass out of forest for marsupials – thus burn new growth and suppress tree growth) and save themselves with adequate fire-break and low-fuel systems. Alternatively they could just die in a wildfire. Ah choices… so hard.
Then they get killed anyway – at least at that time.
Undergrowth rages back in their absence, all fire-loving. Banksia, callistemon, acacia, lamandra, cassuarina, calitris etc.
It all burns and finally releases massive germination of seed set from the ancient wind-shaped hardwood mother trees
Millions of young trees germinate up the coast all competing and creating very straight trees now the wind is gone. (they create their own wind break)
The best out compete the worst and then the loggers arrive in the early 1900’s and take out the big trees.
Now we have 50 years of no burning. No more logging but all coppice over the top of old grey long dead trees and holiday makers and tourists.
Those trees gunna burn again my friend and I’d rather manage it in my fireplace than lose a tonne more towns like we did a few years ago.Unless of course you are a fan of releasing ridiculous amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere via uncontrolled wild fire.
You have a lot to learn about firewood.
VietnamVet posted the following situation summary at the very end of yesterday’s stuff, and it occurred to me that many readers might miss it for that reason. The easy fix is for me to just do this. . . .
“There is no doubt that WWIII between the Russian and Western Empires has started. The conflict is escalating and is probably approaching the “no holds barred” stage. There is no diplomacy. There is no way out. One side or the other will lose, or everybody loses in a global nuclear war including China that is the last functioning Empire left.
Ukraine is carrying the war to Russia now. Russia must mobilize and create a new Red Army to defend of the Motherland. The Western Empire is so wrapped up in money, individualism and profiteering that they simply do not see the energy shortages and the collapse of the financial debt pyramid coming this winter. The West has nothing to mobilize. Industry is gone or shutting down due to energy shortages/high prices. Westerners are overweight, sick, and broke. The only alternative to the looming use of tactical nuclear weapons is an armistice and DMZ. The current politicians who got us into this mess are not going to get us out of it. All I can do, personally, is vote against all incumbents in this November elections.
The Coronavirus & Monkeypox Pandemics, WWIII, and the Food and Energy Shortages all have the same root cause. A death cult that thinks that they will always be safe and wealthy are pulling the strings. Russia is the last source of cheap available energy and resources left. They cannot profit without it.
There are no governments remaining that are run by and for the people.”

———-Dr. D’s dissertation on “terrorism” is on the spot. “The word “Terrorist” like the word “Racist” now means all things.” Since 9/11, the word has become increasingly abused to the point where it is now both alarming and at the same time just tiresome. But one thing I feel pretty confident of is that when two governments are conducting Modern War on one another, neither can really call any action its opponent takes against it “terrorism.”
Regarding the government’s tendency to classify virtually everything, one big reason is usually overlooked–the fact that it is easy. Back in the 70s when I was getting trained by the military in nuclear technology, later subjects did indeed deal with details of the technology that were somewhat closely guarded. But the early part of the training was just math and physics, all stuff that you could easily find in college textbooks. But we were required to stamp every page of notes we took with a rubber stamp “CONFIDENTIAL-NOFORN”. It was just because no one could be bothered to review each page to decide if anything confidential might actually be on there.
“Putin , “When we send our missiles to bomb you it is a Special Military Operation , when you strike back at us it is terrorism.” What a vast masturbator.”
I think you should write a letter to Congress. Or Putin. Or someone. Tell them you don’t like how they’re doing war stuff. Or terrorist stuff. Or something. They’re not boom-booming right, right?
Coming up next: Emperor Kerxes has the sea flogged by whips as punishment for bad weather ruining his nautical military plans:
“Say what you want about Persian King Xerxes I, he knew how to fight a battle. That is to say, he always brought enough men and material to get the job done. Yes, this is the same Xerxes seen in the movie 300, but before the Persian Army could get to Thermopylae, they had to cross the Hellespont, what we call the Dardanelles today. It did not go exactly as planned.
“Like a lot of things the Persian Army tried.
“Xerxes was coming right off of victories over uprisings against Persian rule in Egypt and Babylon and had acquired a massive army, as-then-unheard-of in ancient times. Some 300,000 troops were ready to pour into Greece to avenge the ass-kicking the Greeks perpetrated on Xerxes’ father, Darius. Xerxes was not one to overthink things. The simplest way to get a massive army from one land mass to another was to simply build a bridge and roads to it. Xerxes even had the bridges built in advance so his army wouldn’t have to wait to get to Greece.
“This did not go exactly as the Persian Army planned. Before he and his troops could arrive, the seas swelled up and swallowed the bridges, completely destroying them. When the King arrived, it was just debris. Infuriated with the seas, Xerxes marched out to the sea and whipped it with a chain 300 times as his soldiers watched and shouted curses at the water.”
Forgive us our secrets as we forgive those of our friends and our loved ones.
We only suppose our secrets are hidden from curious eyes.
Let us not be mistaken: all secrets breed lies.Forgive us our secrets as we forgive those of our experts and leaders, who wear them like clothes-
To hide indiscretions; for power; for ill.
Let us not be mistaken: our secrets can kill.1983 (posted at TAE on 2020 mar 25)

Moscow reveals results of new strikes on Ukraine
Russia has confirmed attacks on infrastructure for the second day in a row and says all targets were hit
New missile strikes targeting Ukrainian military command and control sites and the country’s energy infrastructure were conducted on Tuesday, the Russian Defense Ministry reported during a daily briefing.The attacks hit all intended targets and “achieved their goals,” the military claimed.
Earlier in the day, Ukrainian officials and media reported more Russian long-range attacks in a rerun of Monday’s strikes.
Andrey Sadovoy, the mayor of the city of Lvov in western Ukraine, said his city faced another blackout due to the damage inflicted by Russia.
“A missile strike at a critical infrastructure object” had left some 30% of Lvov without power, the official reported on social media. He added that there were issues with the water supply in the city and urged residents to stockpile for possible cuts.
In Vinnitsa Region in central Ukraine, the head of the administration, Sergey Borzov, reported drone attacks on a local power station, but later edited his post to a more neutral report of “explosions” in his region. The operator of the Ladyzhin coal-fired power plant confirmed damage to its equipment in a drone raid on Tuesday morning.
Kiev introduces rolling power blackouts
Reports of Russian missiles being engaged by Ukrainian air defenses came from the regions of Kiev, Odessa, and Vinnitsa. In the Rovno and Krivoy Rog regions, people on social media reported blasts on the ground, presumably caused by Russian strikes.
The barrages came a day after almost all major regions of Ukraine came under a massive aerial assault. The Ukrainian military claimed to have intercepted roughly half of the missiles, but nevertheless 11 key sites all across the country were damaged, according to the Ukrainian government.
Moscow targeted Ukrainian power plants and other critical facilities after what Russian President Vladimir Putin called a series of “terrorist attacks” orchestrated by Ukrainian special services on Russian soil.
The latest of them involved blowing up a truck laden with explosives on the Crimean Bridge, a strategic Russian link. Russian investigators reported on Saturday that at least three civilians were killed by the blast, but the number may be as high as six, given that three people are reportedly still missing, according to the Telegram-based news outlet 112.
Putin said Kiev’s tactics could not be left without a response and argued that Kiev had exposed its energy sector to Russian strikes by trying for months to sabotage key Russian infrastructure.
@ oxy
Key phrase, in my opinion, of AFKTT post was “kiln dried fire wood for sale”, followed by the “list”, that should make one to pause and think what in the world that “we” are doing? You skipped the phrase and decided for vitriol option.
I can not decide but even more annoying than Greta are the folks that think that “old way of life” should continue unabated.Gee and all I was going to say (again) was that the CO2 in the wood was only put there last week and is a net zero.
Still no interaction with that basic fact.
Kiln drying of firewood is most probably turning gold into lead: burn the natgas not the wood and save yourself some trips to the ER with chainsaw injuries. Obviously standard woodburning is NOT bad by any measure, even as they fabricate the “Air quality” and other rot.
The Russian war is again: staging the U.S. to be Russia in 1917. We are supposed to have a lost world war, an internal civil war, kill the King, end the Constitution and install automatic space communism after the Red Bolsheviks (Antifa) murder all the White Bolsheviks (military and the middle class, aka MAGA, aka, “Everybody else who can read”). But you can see although that is “The Plan”, it is not “going to plan” because the Red Hats CAN read. And know history a lot better than their Blue-Hat counterparts who are first against the wall after the Revolution comes. Already BLM approval is in the toilet, and they both didn’t do anything AND haven’t had to fight anything. It was enough they were a) violent, and b) corrupt, to lose support. With everyone, Blue and Black included.
Anyway, this fits in because like Russia 1917, the U.S. will withdraw from the world stage and end empire and that’s totally unavoidable. Thank God. Yes, among other reasons that’s because we have no industry and no bullets, our ships and jets are 50 years old, and we’re an hollow international embarrassment that can’t project power even over Pushtun goat herders, but that’s not the only reason.
Lying, from the Internet:
“when your dominant minority stays in power by lying, that’s a sign that it doesn’t have the strength to rule by force. The more blatant the dishonesty, and the more the minority believes its own lies, the more likely you are to see everything unravel in the fairly short order. The US uses as much fraud as it does because its dominant minority is extremely vulnerable. “
Another report that will go missing in the west
https://southfront.org/another-busy-morning-for-russian-missiles-over-ukraine/
ANOTHER BUSY MORNING FOR RUSSIAN MISSILES OVER UKRAINEThat Russia would take the high road after the cutting off of NS1 and 2, and the blow-up of the Kerch bridge, saying we don’t do terrorism, was a a faint hope on my part.
> They did so for tourist visas and many sanctions, saying this is BS, we don’t act that way…but more of that is not acceptable internally..
When the Kerch bridge was planned and rapidly built, I was a bit dubious about it, it looked like a ‘prestige’ thing in part, and too vulnerable – also not necessary really, if the by-land liaison could one day be assured, which looked to be on the cards. I was imagining alternatives – a floating link – super-duper ferries – etc.
So, Russia sends a series of targeted missiles into Ukraine as riposte for these ‘terrorist’ attacks.
Very few ppl were killed (I read 7; 10..) so there is that. Of course, taking out the infrastructure for electricity etc. ultimately resembles the US, bomb-them-to-bits, in say, Baghdad. Plus, it is presented as a ‘warning’ – a restrained response…More *!* could be forthcoming…
On the surface, what we see is a slow, grinding on, tit-for-tat fight (hybrid asymetrical warfare) with prevarications, warnings, responses and ripostes that occur on different levels, registers — all of them, at each point in time, leading to escalation, seemingly .. inexorably?
As for land control, Russia is the clear winner, which will continue, even maybe be accepted, imho.
The ‘collective West’ – via Zelensky, have stated that no negotiations with Putin can take place. So it is…Do or Die. (Yes, I read that Bolton said Putin should be assassinated.)
I listened to the Duran guy who walks around Greece, and a F. analyst X. Moreau. Both pretty good in their own style.Alex says, wait and see and seemed to hint that the W could, might, back down, they can’t enter into a direct confrontation w. Russia.
Xavier says there is no way back, there is now no way to de-escalate, it is all – out, that is it, this conflict can only be ended, resolved, with a clear winner / looser, submission of the losing party.
What are the alternatives?

‘Key phrase, in my opinion, of AFKTT post was “kiln dried fire wood for sale”
It is encouraging that some people do actually read what is written and do engage their brains before engaging their fingers.
I hope that does not sound patronising.
Time and time again, people who are picking for a fight pick out a few words and use those to engage in pointless arguments.
Picks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
Unfortunately, that is not true, and most people do suffer the ill-effects of badly chosen words fired at them from a young age, sometimes thoughtlessly, sometimes deliberately.
Anyway, I’m sure the government has it all under control via a combination of ‘sustainable development’ and ‘hate speech’ legislation.
A lot of people have a huge lesson to learn about energy. Contrary to popular belief, and contrary to the bizarre theories of mainstream economists and politicians, energy does not magically appear whenever it is required. Nor are the various forms of energy carrier interconvertible. However, all energy transitions (cascades) have one common feature: the final result is low-grade heat, which is unusable and is frequently a nuisance. Every energy transition device is inefficient. Biological energy capture systems and utilisation systems worked extremely well in the past because they had been ‘tried and tested over hundreds of millions of years. What a shame ‘we’ had to mess up so many of them.
I am still amazed that leaves can convert light energy into chemical energy so effectively. I will be encouraging plants around here to do so as long as I am able. And to use whatever energy is available to me frugally.
The government, on the other hand, is committed to wasting energy as quickly as possible, and to causing maximum environmental damage in the process.

When I am at the cottage I burn trees and branches. When I am at home in Toronto, I burn kiln dried lumber.
Why? Because of what is locally available. At the cottage there are always plenty of trees and fallen branches available. In Toronto only kiln dried lumber is locally available, so that is what I burn. I am aware that burning kiln dried lumber is like communist Polish farmers feeding their pigs with bread instead of grain. The irony isn’t lost on me. I didn’t make the rules, I was just born here.
I remember years ago Resources Canada folks having to finally admit burning wood was a renewable “green” energy source, much to their total disqust!
Terrorism was always a stupid word. It’s a word stupid enough to provide the semantic basis for a “War on Terror”. Violence is violence, period, whether one-on-one, many-on-one (our favorite kind) or many-on-many. Reasons may vasy, but killing is killing, maiming is maiming, and kicking ass is kicking ass.
Also, wood is wood and carbon is carbon. In Euromerica, we switched from wood to coal because we’d run out of wood. We switched from coal to oil for similar reason plus the amazing flexibility of utility that petroleum provides. We’re gonna miss that stuff when it’s gone.`
Below is my favorite wood-burning device. Salvaged from a hunter’s cabin left to ruin, I used this to make conductive/convective heat from wood in a way that didn’t all go up into the air above before it could warm my bones a bit when I lived in the woods back in 2016:
“Straussians” is up, but I seemed to be blocked from commenting here at all. I’ll try the old google-blog link
https://www.johndayblog.com/2022/10/straussians.htmlThat worked. Y’all know about my Substack blog. Let’s try a link and excerpts…
Alastair Crooke lays out a contextual framework for understanding current events in the world, from politics, to war to global movements of oil, gas and resources and the collapsing western financial system. Thanks FS.
Why are European Elites being so silent about NATO and Financial attacks on Europe?
It appears that all of the key European bureaucratic elites have been captured by the security-complex with bribes and blackmail. Western media is full of speculation whether, or not, we stand at the cusp of WW3. Actually, we are already there. The long war never stopped. In the wake of America’s 2008 Financial Crisis, the U.S. needed to reinforce its economy’s collateral resource base. For the Straussian current (the neocon hawks if you prefer), Russia’s then post-Cold War weakness was ‘opportunity’ to open a new war front. The U.S. hawks wanted to kill two birds with one stone: to pillage Russia’s valuable resources to reinforce their own economy and to fracture Russia into a kaleidoscope of parts.
For the Straussians, the Cold War too never ended. The world remains binary – ‘us and them, good and evil’.
But the neoliberal pillage ultimately didn’t succeed – to the lasting chagrin of the Straussians. Since 2014 at least, (according to one senior Russian official), the Great Game has moved towards the attempt by the U.S. to control the flows and corridors of energy – and to set its price. And, on the other side, on Russia’s counter-measures to create fluid and dynamic transit networks through pipelines and Asian internal waterways – and to set the price of energy. (Now via OPEC+)
Why is this “WW3”?
In my view it is a world war because it is an existential struggle for existence between a prevailing global economic structure in decline, and efforts by about 75% of the world to replace it with something less brutal and more equitable. The necessity for sustained exponential growth is the final failing of the exponential expansion of debt and debt-based money. The exponential-growth debt-economy was able to grow faster than other models in a time of abundant and inexpensive natural resources where using them faster allowed it to use them faster-er and swamp any slower competitors. On the other hand, Russia is finished with its collapse and has been rebuilding for 20 years. Much of the world, even the House of Saud, is aligning against global neoliberalism, as it appears to be unable to persist without expansion, which is effectively blocked. One prescient financial commentator noted: “Bubbles bursting are not just about inflated prices falling, they’re about the recognition that an entire way of thinking was wrong”. Put simply, did the Straussians adequately think through their recent exaltation of the pipeline disruption? … Curiously, the sabotage coincided with reports suggesting that secret talks were afoot between Germany and Russia to resolve all Nordstream issues and to restart supply...
..The ‘Straussians’ are the followers of Leo Strauss, the leading neo-con theorist. Many are former Trotskyists who morphed over, from Left to Right (call them Neocon ‘hawks’ if you prefer). Their message is a very simple doctrine about the maintenance of power: ‘Never let it slip’; block any rival from emerging; do whatever it takes.
Leading Straussian, Paul Wolfowitz, wrote this simple doctrine of ‘destroy any emergent rivals before they destroy you’ into the U.S. 1992 official Defence Planning Document – adding to it that Europe and Japan particularly were to be ‘discouraged’ from questioning U.S. global primacy...
..Straussians flit easily from U.S. political party to party. They have too their ‘useful’ auxiliaries deeply burrowed within the U.S.’ élite class, and institutions of state power. The oldest and most trusty of these auxiliary forces however, is the Anglo-American intelligence and security alliance…
..The ‘Straussians’ prefer to scheme from ‘behind the curtain’ and in certain U.S. think-tanks…Their alliances always remain temporary, opportunistic...
..The first such important impulse in the current reframing is liberal-woke, activist-driven, social justice-oriented identity politics. Why wokeism? Why should woke be of interest to the CIA and MI6? Because it is revolutionary. Identity politics was evolved during the French Revolution to upend the status quo; to overthrow its pantheon of hero-models, and to displace the existing élite and rotate a ‘new class’ into power. This definitely excites the interest of Straussians...
..Biden refers here, not to generic democracy in the wider meaning, but to America’s liberal-woke re-justification for global hegemony (defined as “our democracy”)…
..The second key dynamic – the Green Transition – is one that co-habits under the Biden Administration umbrella, together with the very radical and distinct philosophy of Silicon Valley – an eugenist and trans-human view that aligns in some respects with that of the ‘Davos’ crowd, as well as with the straight-forward Climate Emergency activists...
..These two distinct, but companion piece dynamics to ‘our democracy’, crossed the Atlantic to burrow deeply into the Brussels leadership class. And, put simply, the Euro-Version of liberal-woke activism keeps intact the Straussian doctrine of U.S. and western exceptionalism…
..The aim of Manicheanism (since Carl Schmitt first made the point) is to foreclose on any mediation with rivals by portraying them as sufficiently ‘evil’ that discourse with them become pointless and morally defective…
..At the tip of the European ‘spear’ reside the Green zealots— particularly the truly revolutionary German, Green Party. They hold the leadership in Germany and are at the helm at the EU Commission. It is Green zealotry fused to ‘ruining Russia’ – an intoxicating mix…
..With Russia weakened sufficiently, and with Putin effected, the vultures would prey at the Russian carcass for resources – precisely as occurred in the 1990s…
..What can the European Green zealots say? They wanted anyway to throw down the pillars of industrialised society. Well, they got it. The Nordstream ‘escape route’ out from economic catastrophe has gone. There is nothing else, but to mumble unconvincingly: ‘Putin did it’. (Note: That’s not an action-plan.)
..What next? The hawks likely will now play their next hand in the high stakes game of WW3 ‘chicken’. The soaring dollar is one vector. The question is who holds the stronger cards? The West believes it holds the Ukraine card. Russia believes it has ace economic cards of food, energy, and resource security – and has a stable economy…
Much will depend on the fall-out from the Bubble burst. As that one commentator put it: “The moment has come for central bankers to tighten and to unwind their various market distortions: The impact has already been catastrophic.”Europe’s Eerie Silence – The Curious Case of the Dog That Did Not Bark
The financial system based on trust that loan-interest will be serviced, or collateral seized, is now completely in doubt. Massive losses must be imposed on entire nations and classes of assets and asset-holders. Killing a lot of people seems unlikely to extinguish enough property-claims, and it also destroys real-property.
One great appeal of the nascent BRICS+ system is the renunciation of $US debt. That chooses who loses, holders of $US debt, which is mainly western-banking-and-finance. Those debts are 75% owed by the west, as well. If the global south and Asia can default and live, then European and English speaking countries, and Japan, will also need to follow suit and join the new financial regime.
That will be a transition of great hardship, like the Russian 1990s, I think.Yes, the link to my Substack blog is blocked. I just tried it again and alone.
I’m moving up in the world. Same content on my Google blog (for now)Pepe Escobar has a lot more to offer than the sensational headline: Terror on Crimea Bridge forces Russia to unleash Shock’n Awe
Russian President Vladimir Putin neatly summarized it: “This is a terrorist attack aimed at destroying the critical civilian infrastructure of the Russian Federation.”
The head of the Russian Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, confirmed face-to-face with Putin that Terror on the Bridge was carried out by the SBU – Ukrainian special services. [Except that maybe it was MI-6 that did it.]
Escobar describes in detail the initial order for Bulgarian explosives, originating in Ukraine, and the transport route through various countries, where packaging prevented its identification. It was apparently planned to explode on Friday October 7, Vladimir Putin’s 70th birthday, but it ran a bit late.
..The driver of the first truck is already testifying. Yusubov, the driver of the second truck – which exploded on the bridge – was “blind:” he had no idea what he was carrying, and is dead…
..The packaging most certainly took place in Bulgaria. That, as Russian intel has cryptically implied, indicates the involvement of “foreign special services.”…
..An assessment received by The Cradle from another Russian intel source is way more intriguing.
At least 450 kg of explosives were employed in the blast. Not on the truck, but mounted inside the Crimea Bridge span itself. The white truck was just a decoy by the terrorists “to create a mirage of cause and effect.” When the truck reached the point on the bridge where the explosives were mounted, the explosion took place.
According to the source, railroad employees told investigators that there was a form of electronic hijacking; the terror operators took control of the railway so the train carrying fuel received a command to stop because of a false signal that the road ahead was busy.
Bombs mounted on the bridge spans were a working hypothesis largely debated in Russian military channels over the weekend, as well as the use of underwater drones. [There is also a rumor and video of missile attack which seems untrue. https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-do-videos-show-missile-hitting-russias-kerch-bridge-crimea-1750364 ]
In the end, the quite sophisticated plan could not follow the necessarily rigid timing. There was no alignment by the millimeter between the mounted explosive charges, the passing truck and the fuel train stopped in its tracks. Damage was limited, and easily contained. The charges/truck combo exploded on the outer right lane of the road...
..”Terror on the Bridge” yielded a short, Pyrrhic PR victory – duly celebrated across the collective West – with negligible practical success: transfer of Russian military cargo by railway resumed in roughly 14 hours.
And that brings us to the key information in the Russian intel source assessment: the whodunnit.
It was a plan by the British MI6, says this source, without offering further details. Which, he elaborates, Russian intel, for a number of reasons, is shadow-playing as “foreign special services.” …
..Americans rushed to establish plausible deniability. The proverbial “Ukrainian government official” told CIA mouthpiece The Washington Post that the SBU did it. That was a straight confirmation of an Ukrainska Pravda report based on an “unidentified law enforcement official.” …
..The face of Russian Shock’n Awe is Russian Commander of the Aerospace Forces, Army General Sergey Surovikin: the new commander-in-chief of the now totally centralized SMO/CTO (counterterrorism operation) …
..Surovikin has been commander of the Russian Aerospace Forces since 2017; was awarded the title of Hero of Russia for his no-nonsense leadership of the military operation in Syria; and had on the ground experience in Chechnya in the 1990s…
..Over 60 percent of Ukrainian power grids are already knocked out. Over 75 percent of internet traffic is gone. Elon Musk’s Starlink netcentric warfare has been “disconnected” by the Ministry of Defense…
..Ukraine is about to embrace nearly total darkness in the next few days. Politically, that opens a completely new ball game. Considering Moscow’s trademark “strategic ambiguity,” this could be a sort of Desert Storm remixed (massive air strikes preparing a ground offensive); or, more likely, an ‘incentive’ to force NATO to negotiate; or just a relentless, systematic missile offensive mixed with Electronic Warfare (EW) to shatter for good Kiev’s capacity to wage war.
Or it could be all of the above.
How a humiliated western Empire can possibly raise the stakes now, short of going nuclear, remains a key question. Moscow has shown admirable restraint for too long. No one should ever forget that in the real Great Game – how to coordinate the emergence of the multipolar world – Ukraine is just a mere sideshow.
https://thesaker. is/terror-on-crimea-bridge-forces-russia-to-unleash-shockn-awe/ John Helmer, at Dances With Bears, has a lot of information about the Ukrainian power grid, which has been disabled several times this year, though official Ukrainian government statistics seek to paint a rosier picture. This grid is completely vulnerable to military attack going into winter.
http://johnhelmer. net/russian-army-fires-old-sparky-us-loses-the-electric-war-in-the-ukraine/ People in England, Scotland and Wales could be in for three hour power cuts this winter if it can’t import enough gas and electric imports from other parts of Europe, the British National Grid has warned. The utility said that the scenario was “unlikely,” but that a perfect storm of Russian gas cuts and a cold snap akin to 2018’s “beast from the east” could result in the rolling blackouts – reminiscent of power outages experienced in the 1970s.

Hedges blow up after risk gauges in Germany’s government debt market exceeded those of the 2008 world crash
NEW YORK – Risk gauges in Germany’s government debt market rose last week to levels higher than recorded in the 2008 world financial crash, as margin calls forced the liquidation of derivatives positions held by banks, insurers and pension funds.
Big institutional investors that spent the past ten years insuring their portfolios against falling interest rates now face massive losses as hedges blow up. A key measure of market risk, the spread between German government bonds (Bunds) and interest rate swap agreements jumped above the previous record set in 2008.
The cost of hedging German government debt with interest-rate options, or option-implied volatility, meanwhile rose to the highest level on record. There’s always the “kinetic option” Biden’s Options To Counter OPEC+ Are Limited
OPEC+ bluntly demonstrated it can do whatever it feels it needs to do to protect its own interest, even if this means going against the interests of its traditional allies, including its biggest one.
As Bloomberg’s Javier Blas put it in a commentary piece after the meeting, “The US and its Western allies need to pay attention. For the first time in recent energy history, Washington, London, Paris and Berlin don’t have a single ally inside the OPEC+ group.”
One might argue that this tectonic change in geopolitics is more important for the future of the world than the war in Ukraine, although these are certainly not isolated from each other.
Saudi Arabia has already stated its desire to join the BRICS alliance in what can hardly be interpreted as anything less than a declaration of support for the Russia/China bloc. Its closest ally at home, the UAE, tends to follow Riyadh’s foreign policy, so it is on board with this distancing from the West and forging closing relations with a symbolic East and a very literal group that represents a substantial portion of global GDP.
https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/Bidens-Options-To-Counter-OPEC-Are-Limited.html Consciousness of Sheep has much more on the implications of the shifting power alliances which may soon cancel the petro-buck.
The political fallout from the OPEC+ decision to cut its oil production target by two million barrels a day – which would leave the world economy around six million barrels a day short of its pre-pandemic peak – is sufficient to push us closer to collapse. The Biden administration, who optimistically believed the President had secured a 200-million-barrel deal with the Saudis to replenish the USA’s strategic reserve, have treated the announcement as tantamount to a declaration of war...
..The Biden administration’s response is likely to be an attempt to implement the No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels – NOPEC, geddit? – Act, which passed through the Senate in May, to bring anti-trust suits against OPEC+ states and to impound their US-held property...
..In 2019 … Saudi Arabia threatened to sell its oil in currencies other than the U.S. dollar if Washington passed a version of the NOPEC bill. Such a move would reduce Washington’s clout in global trade by undermining the dollar’s status as the world’s main reserve currency, while also weakening the U.S.’ ability to enforce sanctions on nation states...
..These latter concerns point to the likely next steps, as it is an open secret that Saudi Arabia is partnering with the BRICS states in their project to launch a new, commodity-backed reserve currency which is expected to encompass a third of world trade the moment it is launched…
..Concern has been increasing this year that OPEC states may no longer have the capacity to raise production. At the very best, the production cut may reflect the $150-$200 oil price which might be required even to maintain today’s level of output for a few more years. At worse, it may simply be the first recognition of an irreversible decline in output which will bring an end to the western parts of the global economy in short order...
..If the 75 percent of the world’s countries which … have been historically exploited by the Western states were to deny those states the energy and commodities they have become accustomed to, then the remainder of the world’s people might be able to grow their standard of living for another decade or so.The EU can censor the whole-world-of-Twitter: How the EU is Forcing Twitter to Censor (and Musk Can’t Stop It)

Again, the alphabet agency says- All votes ‘count’, every election, every time.
Because?
What “good” would stealing an election achieve if “the people”, i.e. electorate, failed to consent to the “government” of your selected autocrat puppets?
For fascism to function & expand, the majority of “the people” have to be hoodwinked into the support thereof…
It’s not the “the alphabet agency’s” fault that “the people” are too stupid to realize that politics is a game of Three-card Monte.
“The people” are sooo busy with the latest tomfoolery of their Collective Eg0ic Madness (e.g. Demorats good! Trump bad! MAGA are terr’ists!), why wouldn’t “the alphabet agency” want to “All votes ‘count’, every election, every time”, when the ‘count’ is rigged? 😐
That “the people” haven’t grokked that the elections stink to high heaven, given the multitude of indications exhibiting that
- REALITY
, when “the alphabet agency” et al. are infamous in their rigging of elections for geopolitical shenanigans, how could anyone blame the consent of tyranny created by “the people” on anyone beyond “the people” themselves?
At this point I personally believe that “the people” want The Empire, how could it be otherwise?
That’s like assigning blame to the gun & ignoring the murdering psycho that pulled the trigger 😐
Oh, wait…
So we have a War on Infrastructure, worldwide. And that is a War on all Civilians and Humans, worldwide.
Because nobody will tell the truth AND every reporter and Western person is a drooling moron, I can’t figure out what’s happening.
“when your dominant minority stays in power by lying, that’s a sign that it doesn’t have the strength to rule by force. The more blatant the dishonesty, and the more the minority believes its own lies, the more likely you are to see everything unravel in the fairly short order. The US uses as much fraud as it does because its dominant minority is extremely vulnerable.“
Within the USofA, the “War on all Civilians and Humans” is multifaceted game gleefully played by the apparatchiks (Autocrat puppets) ~ The War on Poverty, War on Guns, War on Drugs, even the War on Misinformation.
All of these wars further empower + enrich “The Empire”, which “the people” apparently consent to via their nonstop participation as the electorate ~ Even the “Open Borders” charade is part & parcel of the “War on all Civilians and Humans”. Cognitive dissonance is a POWERFUL drug…
“Americans today are more likely to believe in witches, ghosts, and astrology than to trust the federal government.”
