Re; yuval harari border theory… I’m assuming that this means that his home is open to anyone who breaks down his doors/windows… Perhaps some of those that his tribe has been bombing for the last few months — decades? If he is not permitted to leave the house due to the “invaders,” I am sympathetic if he decides to attempt to break out.
With respect to the JAMA study on children 5-17… A person can save themselves some time by skipping to the conflicts of interest section. Once you see all the conflicts, you can completely discount the study.
Why I didn’t get the jab… After spending 100’s of hours researching the topic, I just decided to flip a coin. Heads, I don’t get jab, Tails, I don’t get the jab.( For background see Jimmy Dore on Scott Adams; Scott Adams claims that “anti-vaxxers” simply flipped a coin and got lucky)
There seems to be a trend amongst normally critical thinking folks to ignore Overshoot… The models developed by Meadows etal have been proven to be remarkably accurate. Direct observation of all current data confirms the same. One can question the motives of those who funded the Club of Rome study, but you would have to be living in a Hopey hole not to be aware that we are in Overshoot…
@TDub
I would recommend RFK Jr’s latest: A Letter to Liberals: Censorship and COVID: An Attack on Science and American Ideals (Children’s Health Defense). The kindle edition is $3.99 and has live links to all the data. It’s a quick read and was published only 6 days ago so it is up to date through June 2022 or so.From Amazon’s intro:
Kennedy invites readers to look at the data in order to answer questions such as:
Did COVID vaccines really save millions and end the pandemic?
Why were the lowest COVID death rates in countries and states that relied on therapeutic drugs, and in countries with the lowest vaccination rates?
Did vaccines prevent infection or transmission as officials promised?
Why do COVID vaccines appear to show “negative efficacy”—making the vaccinated more susceptible to COVID.
Why does the most reliable data suggest that COVID vaccines do not lower the risk of death and hospitalization.
Should government technocrats be partnering with media and social media titans to censor and suppress the questioning of government policies?
And why have so many liberals abandoned fundamental Constitutional principles in their headlong rush to embrace pandemic policies pushed by captured bureaucrats, feckless politicians, a compromised news media, and Big Pharma?
In his November 2021 book The Real Anthony Fauci, which sold over 1,000,000 copies, Kennedy made predictions that have matured from “conspiracy theories” to proven facts. Among these:
Masks Are Ineffective and Dangerous
Social Distancing Was Not Science-Based
School Closures Were Not Science-Based
Lockdowns Were Counterproductive
Vaccinating Children Causes More Harm and Death Than It Averts
Officials Wrongly Used PCR Tests to Justify the Countermeasures
COVID-19 May Have Come from Wuhan Lab
Natural Immunity is Superior to Vaccine Immunity
Kennedy throws down the gauntlet for the kind of vigorous scientific debate that liberals have long stood for and strives to ensure that unbiased honesty and well-researched thought is brought to bear on one of the most important and still unfolding chapters in human history.https://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/digital-text/11717443011/ref=pd_zg_hrsr_digital-text
@John Day “Rapeseed is what they (mostly) detoxify to make “Canola oil”, which is a confabulated name.
It is also linseed-oil, a perfectly good wood-finish.” If I am not mistaken, linseed oil — aka flaxseed oil — is a product of the flax plant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linseed_oilShould be scraped, not scrapped… It should be mentioned that the clover means no mowing… If things really get tight, I will simply till in the clover and plant with edibles.
@John Day We planted clover in the front yard of our .27 acre suburban home (homes built between 1910 and 1994, so not your standard burb) in NW Spokane. (The back yard is all garden.) I rented a Toro Dingo for a 24-hour period and scrapped all the sod off and then created rolling hills (mimicking the nearby Palouse) with the sod and covered them with the soil that was available. It took 8-10 hours and the Dingo burned through .8 gallons of diesel. I thought the fuel gauge was broken until I topped the tank off before returning the Dingo. I get mixed reviews on the clover — people either love it or hate it — but the bees love it.
Re: All studies are misleading…
A little humor… Many decades ago, I was a real estate representative for a well-known fast food chicken company. The story at the time was that a competitor had paid $25,000 for a demographic study that revealed that blacks like chicken. For whatever reason, the company’s founder showed up at the board meeting when the results of the study were revealed. Reportedly, he said something to the effect that he could have saved the company the $25,000. Jesus Christ, he said, I and everyone else could have told you that blacks like chicken… I’m sure repeating this story makes me a racist.
Non sequitur: I would be interested in knowing the background of TAE’s deflated poster. A poster at PeakProsperity.com by the name of Doug has a very similar aversion to anything that challenges the elite narrative. He has indicated that he was a long-time federal government employee and that reveals volumes about his personality. I wonder if the deflated one is also a long-time government employee. Perhaps he/she/it is Doug?
The primary point of Stephen Roach’s commentary is that Globalism is wonderful. I used to follow SR as a real estate investment manager 25 years or so ago and found his commentary to be more forthright than others in the institutional real estate field. Unlike Stephen, though, I left corporatism — thanks to living frugally — and have been able to read widely enough to know that Globalism has tremendous flaws.
Stephen now lives in a $2.3 million (according to Zillow) mansion in Connecticut and I am typing this in the cellar of a modest home in the Pacific NW. I would not trade places for all the tea in China.
@Oroboros
“The vast ocean of people throughout history never traveled more than 20 miles or less from where they were born.”The latest book by the late David Graeber and co-author David Wengrow, The Dawn of Everything, have a different perspective on this topic. While it may be true of the modern age — while living on Galveston Island I was told that there were people in late age who had never left the island — Graeber and Wengrow make the case that widespead travel was fairly normal for pre-ag people. I bought the book because Nassim Taleb recommended it and he has not disappointed me thus far…
It’s unfortunate that the host of the Mearsheimer/McGovern presentation was an unabashed Russophobe. He seemed pretty clueless on a number of fronts — including continually referring to Susan Eisenhower as Ike’s daughter. She is his granddaughter.
Dr. D comment qoutation: “Only 40 percent of rural hospitals in Texas offer labor-and-delivery services, and with staffing shortages, many deliver babies only a few days a week. There are 71 counties in the state with no hospitals at all.”
A bit of humor. In the early 80’s, I represented Texaco in West Texas. I negotiated the value of Texaco properties — mainly mineral rights — with local property tax authorities or their consultants. The joke at the time was that in (the ironically-named) Loving county the population remained the same because every time a woman became pregnant, a man left the county. In 2018, the population of the county was 152…
Bosco- re: 5g: Here in Spokane the 5g equipment is located at the top of power poles and can be found about every 4-5 blocks in certain areas. The equipment is brown and resembles large speakers. Very Orwellian. A DuckDuckGo search for 5g coverage maps indicates that 5g is available just about everywhere here in Spokane.
Re obituaries: A friend of mine wrote his own before he died: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/spokesman/name/dandelion-treecraft-obituary?id=6655234
He also scheduled and attended his own wake in the weeks/months before he died. A good time was had by all.Seeing patterns… Over the last day or two I’ve noticed a couple of patterns:
1) The pro “vaccination” articles and Twitter streams linked to reveal how little journalists and specialists know about Covid-19. Two examples are The Daily Mail article from yesterday and a twitter thread of an ER doctor that the resident troll linked to today. Generalists have a much better grasp of the situation.
2) It is hard to understand how those who are pro “vaccination” are being funded. One that I just came across, Medika.life, has no known source of revenue, but yet, they were recently bought out by an entity by the name of Finn Partners. They are also nebulous when it comes to funding. One has to think that they are being funded by Gates etal.My link did not appear in the above comment for whatever reason. Here it is non-live: https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-did-john-stockton-the-most-boring-nba-legend-become-an-anti-vax-weirdo?via=rss&source=articles_fancylink
IMHO it is worth taking the trouble to copy and paste in your browser of choice.
BTW, I noticed that the Daily Beast in another article labeled those who attended the Stop the Mandates event in D.C. as the far right. They obviously didn’t attend the event.
It’s remarkable the divide that Covid has wrought. There is no way that Team deflationista will change his/her/its “mind.”
The vitriol is stunning and I find this article to be a prime example:
The author — and by extension the publisher Daily Beast — manages to deploralize the man, the university, the city, and just about everything else in a very nasty way. It appears that “grifter” is the word of choice for Team deflationista.
Full disclosure: I live in Spokane by choice and was attracted to it because it has many walkable neighborhoods — and relatively speaking — a small number of suburbs.
In response to an earlier comment regarding where the vaccines are made, I’ve read that some of them
are manufactured here in Spokane at HollisterStier.Sand-Puppy (Physician) comment at Peak Prosperity this am:
Reporting Vaccine Adverse Events is NOT Mandatory
1. There is no legal requirement, hospital policy or state regulation requiring doctors to report adverse events following vaccinations.
2. There are no policies that encourage VAERS reporting on any subject at any time or under any circumstances. In my 33 years professional career as a physician I have never made a VAERS report. I confess that I don’t even know how to do this. I have never heard of another colleague who has ever made a report to VAERS either.
—-
There are a number of infections diseases where mandatory reporting to the State Health Department is required: Hepatitis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, measles, TB, etc.
No requirements to report anything about vaccines to anyone.
I wonder how this compares with everyone else’s experience here?
The neighbor (mid-40s) across the street has missed at least 4 weeks of work. According to her son she was hospitalized for a period of time and the doctors would or could not tell her what she had. She had Covid in 2020 and was required by her work to get the jab early on — probably January or February. My brother got the jab and has had a continual headache ever since. I have told him that he should get a D-dimer test and referred him to the Indiana doctor who made the presentation at the school board meeting.
John Day- James Burnham would be proud of what we have today. His fantasy has come true.
re: Geert Vanden Bosscha’s latest
When I link through Safari to the article, the article appears momentarily and then is replaced by this message: “Content cannot be displayed.” I am able to link to it and have it stay up with my Brave browser. Perhaps it’s the result of my Safari browser not being up to date… Or perhaps something more nefarious…
Re: Colonial
Barackfully (hopefully) the news channel that covered the leak in North Carolina are on the scene at the leak monitoring the activity of Colonial. BTW, this was the only site where I saw a link to the leak. The story does detract from the Russia, Russia, Russia hysteria.
Mister Roboto said: “A real chip off the old block, it would appear.”
In the middle of last night I came up with a new saying: “It takes a war criminal to raze a country.”
Society will only turn a corner when the Clintons and those like them are no longer covered by any media.
I guess you missed the ” : ) “… Ironic that I just contributed to the site moments before posting… Perhaps I am mistaken but I got the impression that Nicole moved to a community in New Zealand that was identified somewhere online… Keep up the good work, but don’t expect me to “dim it”. Whatever that means. I will refrain from commenting in the future. Censorship comes in many forms.
Surely the NOAA estimate of 200 million in Kunstler’s piece is incorrect. It would mean that two thirds of the US population could be flooded…
If Nicole had moved to Spokane and bought a modest home, she wouldn’t need so much money. : ) When I checked into the prices of the place she moved to I was shocked. It was at least 3-4 times what my wife and I paid for a nearly self-sufficient property here in Spokane. It seems to me that folks pay a lot of money to be around like-minded folks — and for granite countertops. We have an intentional community here in Spokane and the cost for a home is 2-3 times the cost of a freestanding home that is twice the size…
V. Arnold- Re: flying… I gave it up in 2004. I’m ashamed to say that I flew once a week in the mid-80’s and kept an apartment in both Houston and Dallas. Why? To find sites for a fast food restaurant chain. How crazy is that?
John Day- If you come by here… I tried to post a comment at your blog yesterday and got this response via email:

TheTrivium4TW- I agree that property taxation is a problem. It is ironic that the institutions — religious and educational — that stand in solidarity with the Money Power Monopolist cabal are exempt from paying property tax. “Funny story”: As a property tax rep for Texaco in the early 80’s, I attempted to get a local jurisdiction — Bellaire, TX — to reduce their assessment on an office building. The building was obviously a Class B or C building, but the Bellaire authorities taxed it as a Class A. A property developer with land in Bellaire was having the same problem with a high assessment. He sold the property to a church in vindication… I’m thinking of transferring title to my home to a church with the stipulation that I have a life estate in the same so long as I maintain it.
PlanetaryCitizen- “obstructing justice; violating the emoluments clause; abusing the pardon power; directing or seeking to direct law enforcement to prosecute political adversaries for improper purposes; advocating illegal violence and undermining equal protection of the laws; ordering the cruel and unconstitutional imprisonment of children and their families at the southern border; and conspiring to illegally influence the 2016 election through a series of hush money payments.”
The problem for the Democrats is that Obama is guilty of all of the above as well.
This has probably been posted before…
http://accuracy.org/release/911-whistleblower-rowley-on-muellers-history-of-cover-up/
This is worth a read as well:
We just can’t seem to realize the change that is required… As I posted elsewhere, the figures pointed out by Amy Goodman in her response to the recent government report on Climate Change are ludicrous. A cost of several hundred billion by the end of the century with a 10% reduction in the “economy.” Give me a break. Climate change will cost far more than the wealth of two Seattle men and the economy needs to shrink by at least 90%…
On a related note, I recommend the book Democracy Inc by Sheldon Wolin. Recommended by Chris Hedges during his Jimmy Dore appearance. Speaking of the matrix… a search of Worldcat.org revealed that none of the major universities in the Pacific Northwest have a copy of the book. It’s not as if the author was not well respected and that the book was published by an unknown publisher. The book was published by Princeton University Press. The problem with the book from an establishment perspective is that it is too close to the truth.
Dr. D – Thanks for the link. This is science in the same way that AGW is science. Both theories have merit. I’ll not argue in defense of AGW but I will argue that mankind has made a mess of earth and it has not led to a higher quality of life except in a few cases. Take a look at flightradar24.com. Zoom in, zoom out. This is insanity. Take a look at traffic cams in cities such as Seattle and LA. This is insanity.
It should be noted that the article supports the recent assertion by scientists that Geoengineering will not end well.
Back to the garden for me; one way to mitigate the insanity…
I’m interested in building “a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” One that enables us to shed the “hustler” dominated paradigm that is so well described in one of Morris Berman’s books…
Until the system recognizes “Permaculture” as a word, we probably don’t have to worry about a segment of the middle class bringing down the financial system…
Interestingly enough, I noticed while out walking errands today that a printing company in the neighborhood was missing a few cars from their parking lot. As I walked by the front door, I noticed that the State of Washington had withdrawn their business certification due to non-payment of $47,000 or so in taxes. I wonder if we’ll see more of this sort of thing?
