    Yale- the incubator of the deep state, affirms bad things about the spike from the “vax”.
    What a wonderful place to inject the economy with post “vax” care!
    China, in response to tariffs[?], says new floo come your way soon.
    Market drops.

    Lather rinse, repeat. Lather rinse repeat. Lather rinse repeat……

    On a wonderfully fun note, my husband just watched a couple of robins catch and eat tiny minnows at a nearby waterway. Wow!

    I guess I should refresh before I post.
    That’s the three most contested making it in.
    I’m pretty tickled.

    Kash Patel is in.

    A really savvy businessman- due diligence and such-
    Takes pride that no one ever pulls the wool over his eyes.
    So when he finds that he’s been fooled he doesn’t like it much;
    And when it’s used for blackmail- then it really gets a rise.

    It’s seems it’s always personal to those in seats of power.
    A reckoning is coming soon, revealed each hour by hour.

    A digital addition to the year you say you are
    Evokes a happy circumstance- you’re a one day super star.
    So happy birthday, T-Bear, hope you had a smile or two-
    May Clotho spin a lot more yarn ahead of all you do.

    It’s long past time to start issuing bars of gold coated in tungsten.

    WES- I am convinced red squirrels live in a quantum universe, and can be here and there at the same time.

    High of -3F tomorrow. Two days ago we had two dozen robins at the bird bath.
    -15F tonight; -18F tomorrow night. I’ve got freeze dried mealworms for them.
    February. Hmph. Even the chickadees have stopped singing springsong.

    Hard to sink a pontoon, WES.
    Things do roll off the deck from time to time, though.

    Hush, y’all! Next thing you know, there’s gonna be a “honey” bar on the futures chart.

    in reply to: Debt Rattle February 16 2025 #182406

    Yeah, and what color is honey???
    GOLD. : )
    Honey, in fact, is one of those things I can afford to stock up on. I can affirm that if you have an infection, honey- especially manuka- is an amazing antibiotic.

    those darned kids (little baby goats with stitches)

    Gold is the only thing that can sit in a hole for 2000 years and when you dig it up, it’s as beautiful as the day it was buried.
    The alien overlords have been using us to mine it because they need it for some thing or another. Our programmed love and hoarding of it creates easy pickings for ET. I believe that on Sept 10th, 2001, they were loading it onto a spaceship from a basement in the WTC. As of late, they have been to London…
    (Winky face. Sarcasm. Satire.)

    In short, I don’t have an answer.

    DBS: But we fight wars now at the pleasure of those that enjoy spilling blood for fun and profit. What makes you think they wouldn’t keep doing so?

    John Perkins (economic hitman) said his company took orders from the World Bank, USAID, and the Treasury Department.

    Efficiency is the enemy of redundancy. Redundancy is the friend of resilience.
    Electrical power grids should be resilient. Political power grids?

    The blob seems extremely resilient, so I suspect there’s a lot of redundancy. It may even enjoy being the whacked mole.

    RFK, jr confirmed makes me pretty happy.
    I spent the whole morning watching Benz on Joe Rogan. Almost the whole page today can be explained by what he discusses.
    Populism, judge seeding and shopping, censorship lockstep, music and “revolt”…..

    in reply to: Debt Rattle February 12 2025 #182098

    April may be cruel, but February sucks. It’s waaaay too long and this year (here) it’s silly cold.

    in reply to: Debt Rattle February 12 2025 #182097

    Oh yeah- the Mule was sterile. That’s why he was the mule. A would-be monarch/tyrant/emperor/lame duck with no heirs.

    If there’s one thing I have learned about investing, it is that what is NOT discussed at this time is a trade worth investigating. And that living a life of doing that makes one a VERY boring person.

    All personal gold sits on the seabed near coastlines, in deep rapid rivers, and in bottomless lakes. : )

    Whenever I think I would like a lot of gold, I see myself as those characters in stories who drown because they cannot let go of the weight. Or die in the fire trying to collect it. Or kill to protect it.

    A world where gold is acceptable tender again is delightfully optimistic. Before we get there, we’ll have to go through the period of “psst! that guy paid in gold. Follow him home.” Or, “Did I say one coin? I see you have two coins. I meant two coins.”

    If tech continues, bitcoin, etal, is one thing. But lab diamonds expend a lot of energy and you get a really useful product that -if cut nicely- is also a delight in a sunbeam.
    Russia and China make lab diamonds and thus have unlimited access to the best machine cutting tools for the finest CLOCKWORK available, which cares not a whit about EMPs.

    Carbonated ceramics plus microtech, and diamond machining and parts. Screw the wifi world.
    One millimeter high Faberge eggs, anyone?
    Oh- and lab diamonds mean the best scalpels ever for everyone.

    mpsk over and out.

    Mike Benz and Catherine Fitts bring out the cynic in me today. Civilization seems to be on the wrong track.
    “Doing lots of different actions to cancel [the social engineering nonsense] is so delighting Trump’s supporters that they have failed to notice the shredding of the Constitution…”. (Fitts, from John Day’s reference above.). Squirrels rule!
    That, followed by Benz reading the US version of 50 ways to kill your “lover”.

    What mind-fuckery they can do with the SUPER BOWL.
    I just watched a Kansas City guy do a friendly tap on the helmet of the Eagles guy as he went in for the touchdown.
    Hmph.
    Chat GPT advertised afterwards.

    in reply to: Debt Rattle February 9 2025 #181829

    I picked up a dead wild turkey a month back. I always wanted to feel how much they weighed. (A lot!)
    I must have died from bird flu, though, because seeing DOGE in action is a little bit like heaven.

    I usually have the Super Bowl on to watch the (once) high class ads, but rumor has it that this year the ads may be more interesting than usual.

    I’m guessing that Chemonics pretended to be shipping drugs (NO! You can’t open that container or you’ll ruin the drugs!) when in fact it was shipping those palettes of cash we heard about.

    A poster over on zh linked to this snippet of JFK, Jr reading a bit of poetry written by 9 year old Monica Lewinsky.
    Hmmmmm. Pizza?

    in reply to: Debt Rattle February 7 2025 #181653

    WES- I f I am directed to a ZH page from another site, the comment section is always closed. If it opens from the headlines page and the X panels don’t show, the comments are usually closed. Either way, a refresh of the page brings the comments (and the complete X panels) back up.

    On a different note, I just got back from the local Walgreens where they were offering “FREE” covid shots. There were about a dozen people in line- mostly youngish- and I wanted to yell out: “Soylent Green is PEOPLE!!!”
    But I didn’t. At least none of them were wearing masks.

    The Dodecanese island area at app.36.5 lat and 25.5 long is GOING CRAZY with earthquakes.

    The ones in charge- there’s nobody who loves them.
    Their public lives provide the proof you need.
    Their greed and lust for power is all that moves them-
    So take them down in public with good speed.

    If one betrays their uniform of trust,
    A trial for their betrayal is a must.

    in reply to: Debt Rattle February 6 2025 #181599

    And if in future times I am betrayed
    By those I trusted (they were kith and kin),
    I’ll cut my ties and wander off, dismayed-
    And live a life forgiving of their sin.

    Psychology perfected? Minds made rotten.
    I hope the future won’t see it forgotten.

    in reply to: Debt Rattle February 6 2025 #181595

    We all need buffers in the winds
    That spin and twist us ‘round,
    And sweet forgiveness that rescinds
    The pride that had no ground.

    These last four years? I shouldn’t dare relive them.
    But those I love? I certainly forgive them.

    in reply to: Debt Rattle February 6 2025 #181590

    jb-hb: My “twaren’t me” was my first post since the 3rd- in response to seeing my handle. You name me out of nowhere.
    I always read your posts. You possess great wisdom and experience, and convey it well.

    in reply to: Debt Rattle February 6 2025 #181559

    In case it was missed, the poem was about Trump having allll the dirt on everyone. Panama papers, etc., Epstein stuff, Diddy stuff, Weiner’s stuff, Clinton’s stuff, that Belgian stuff, stuff we don’t even know about- I think this is why I have read that that Gabbard and Kennedy and Patel are likely to be confirmed.

    More’s coming, because Trump’s axe is sharp already, but he’s looking for an edge where a handkerchief dropped on it slices in two as it falls.
    He’s pissed.
    One nation under blackmail.

    Here’s a less ambiguous last line:

    The lesson is clear, when they thought they had won, they shouldn’t have acted so smug.

    I kind of like the ambiguity, though.

    in reply to: Debt Rattle February 6 2025 #181546

    Twaren’t me, jb-hb.

    On a completely different note….

    If you had in your hands the most valuable things that a mistreated fellow could hold-
    With the power to use them however you like on the people that called you a thug-
    Would you jiggle the strings to make enemies dance? Would you snicker and make them all fold?
    The lesson is clear: when you think that you’ve won, you shouldn’t be acting so smug.

    Brennan and Bolton have been humiliated. They burn, as Dulles burned.

    I forgot to mention the lyrics above are partial. Full lyrics here.

    WES- hahahahahaha!

    It just seems pertinent, somehow.

    “The Future” (1992)
    by Leonard Cohen

    Give me back my broken night
    My mirrored room, my secret life
    It’s lonely here
    There’s no one left to torture
    Give me absolute control
    Over every living soul
    And lie beside me, baby
    That’s an order
    Give me crack and anal sex
    Take the only tree that’s left
    Stuff it up the hole
    In your culture
    Give me back the Berlin wall
    Give me Stalin and St. Paul
    I’ve seen the future, brother
    It is murder

    Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
    Won’t be nothing
    Nothing you can measure anymore
    And the blizzard of the world
    Has crossed the threshold and it has overturned the order of the soul
    When they said repent repent
    I wonder what they meant
    When they said repent repent
    I wonder what they meant
    When they said repent repent
    I wonder what they meant

    Give me back the Berlin wall
    Give me Stalin and St. Paul
    Give me Christ
    Or give me Hiroshima
    Destroy another fetus now
    We don’t like children anyhow
    I’ve seen the future, baby
    It is murder
    refrain.
