Searching For Survivors,
Christine sent this article from Naked Capitalism about power elites fearing loss of control in crisis situations, and reacting to control people, rather than to help find survivors.
Yves does not think that climate-change, as portrayed in mass media, is that kind of a crisis of bureaucratic control, and I agree, but that is not what is really going on, is it?
When Authorities Believe Their Citizens Will Become Dangerous… Yves here: Tom Neuburger discusses the important issue of the real aims for the increase of the surveillance state in Western countries. He posits that it’s due to elites recognizing the potential of the lower orders to turn violently against them. In one sense, that’s already well recognized, witness how many of the super-rich have built highly-secure, meant-to-be-self-sustaining bolt holes in places like New Zealand and discuss among themselves how to assure the loyalty of the private jet pilots they will depend on to get them there...
..Neuburger also asks why the soi-disant left has largely ignored the rise in surveillance and enforcement tools. Bluntly, I see two reasons. One is very few have or are willing to protest and thus assume because they aren’t the sort of people to make that kind of fuss, the policing apparatus will never be used against them. Second is that many eagerly applaud its construction to use against the deplorables, regardless of the damage to principles of rule of law and privacy. It has become sadly necessary to remind readers of the danger.....“The other coup,” the one that no one in the mainstream wants to acknowledge. Even those moved strongly to decry the fascist Trumpian party (which certainly exists) and fear the coup it certainly represents, find themselves hard-pressed to decry the other coup, the ongoing one by our National Security State.
Truth be told — and I mean that literally — one reason that some encourage the “other coup” is that the NatSec State is working to benefit them … for the moment, at least...
..It starts with the tale of an earthquake near Anchorage, Alaska, and public officials fears of what would happen:Truth be told — and I mean that literally — one reason that some encourage the “other coup” is that the NatSec State is working to benefit them … for the moment, at least...
North America’s strongest recorded earthquake struck just off the Alaskan coast at 5:36 p.m., on March 27, 1964. The shaking from the magnitude 9.2 quake lasted an unimaginable four and a half minutes. The tectonic forces reshaped Alaska’s coastline and triggered tsunamis that wiped out villages and claimed lives as far south as California. Anchorage, only 75 miles from the epicenter, was devastated. …
The sun set that night on a shattered city. Thousands were homeless. An entire neighborhood of stately homes had tumbled down a bluff as the soil beneath it turned to slurry. Almost as soon as the shaking stopped, city officials began worrying about how the populace would respond. … Police quickly deputized a group of volunteers—some of them freshly emerged from those Fourth Avenue bars—as ad hoc officers. The men put on armbands with the word police emblazoned in lipstick—a few were even issued firearms—and off they went to protect the city from the inevitable post-disaster crime wave.
…At the time, most experts believed any major disaster would cause “a mass outbreak of hysterical neurosis among the civilian population,” as social scientist Richard M. Titmuss had put it some years earlier. Shocked by carnage and desperate for food and shelter, people would “behave like frightened and unsatisfied children.” Only firm control by powerful authorities could keep the lid on such dangerous situations.
“Only firm control by powerful authorities” plays right into the hands of powerful authorities who desire firm control.
All the dire predictions turned to dust, as the article details. “Expecting chaos, the sociologists were puzzled to find the residents calmly, almost cheerfully, pitching in to help.”
And yet…
Before dispatching those casually deputized citizens to keep order in the streets, the Anchorage police chief suspended the search for survivors in damaged buildings. “Arguably, the city was protecting its ruins from looters more conscientiously than it was looking for people trapped in them,” Mooallem writes.
Sounds conscienceless, this behavior; property before people. But that’s pretty much at the core what our government protects.
Disaster researchers call this phenomenon “elite panic.” When authorities believe their own citizens will become dangerous, they begin to focus on controlling the public, rather than on addressing the disaster itself. They clamp down on information, restrict freedom of movement, and devote unnecessary energy to enforcing laws they assume are about to be broken.
If reason one is that the state fears citizen panic during disasters, reason two is that it reasonably fears an overturning of the state during certain disasters.
Elizabeth Nickson , Megadeath: the global conspiracy to kill every living thing until we submit.
Climate engineering was used this summer to terrify people about global warming. Virtually every fire, every loss, every death was deliberate. “Climate engineering is the crown jewel of the Military-Industrial Complex. It has been used to topple nations all over the globe, facilitating the takeover of hostile countries. We know some of these countries have had their precipitation cut off, like Iran, which stated so on the floor of the U.N.” - Dane Wigington ...
..Lyndon Johnson: “He who controls the weather, will control the world”. (LBJ is scary to watch as he says this at a college commencement speech. He means it.) ...
..Paul Hellyer, former Canadian Minister of Defense, “Geoengineering is the most dangerous diabolical thing that has ever happened to us.” (He means it, too.) ..... Elizabeth in Canada: Down in the valley below me, a friend lives in his cunningly retrofitted trailer (with a thin tin roof) and evenings, when everyone else is glued to Netflix, he hears the military jets come in from the base north of us and he goes out to watch them cover the skies with trails, criss-crossing the valley like tic tac toe and he wakes the next morning to an aluminum mist that falls and falls around him. And us. Then it rains...
..Officially, geo-engineering isn’t happening. Yet here is an interactive map that tracks weather modification projects recorded by the United Nations World Meteorological Organization for the past fifty years. As described, the map “includes data on the apparatus involved, agents applied and the techniques used in each event. It also includes both positive and negative results of some of the completed projects, funding sources such as government agencies and private companies.” You can even read the lawsuits some of the projects triggered. Here is a document from the U.S. government, entitled, “Owning the Weather by 2025”. Here is a Congressional Hearing on the necessity of geoengineering. Here is a piece from the Guardian, describing Harvard’s geoengineering project in 2017. Here are three documentaries, done over ten years, that trace the history of, rational for, and results of world-wide geoengineering. First, second, third.....“Costs (of geoengineering) are so cheap, the richest people in the world could afford to buy an ice age”.
Dr. David Keith, leading American geoengineer, who works for Bill Gates
Of course the reason that geoengineering is formally not happening, despite the ten thousand reports in the mainstream news, is that what is being put into the atmosphere above our heads is toxic. As in very toxic, as in abiotic, so toxic that it’s killing insects, bees, trees, ranges, forests, organic farmlands, grasslands, alkalizing the soil, diminishing crops, causing extreme weather swings, and finally, causing global warming. The aerosolized metals, principally aluminium, entering the atmosphere are damaging every lung on the planet, causing spikes in brain diseases and cancer. It is why the skies are so often a particulate chemical blue-grey, why the blue is just …less blue. It is why bees and insects are so sparse, it is why arthropods, those necessary little critters in the soil are present in a fraction of 30 years ago. We are losing the fabric of life, drowning in aerosolized aluminum, strontium, barium. There is no such thing as “organic” food. All food is filled with aerosolized nano particulates of metal absorbed into the food chain... Dr. David Keith, leading American geoengineer, who works for Bill Gates
..We don’t know about what is happening formally, because people are dying from exposure to aerosolized chemicals. One million tons of aluminium, strontium and sodium chloride will kill tens of thousands a year, said the leading geoengineer in the US, David Keith, who works for Bill Gates. You can watch him say this on Wigington’s documentary. He was captured in an early seminar: “A million tons of aluminum in the sky would kill tens of thousands of people a year.” They have added ten to twenty million tons of aluminum into the atmosphere. Annually.
They tried to use sulphur, but “ten megatons of sulphur a year in the air means you would only get one watt of temperature change, according to Dr Ken Caldeira, another of the U. S.’s leading geoengineers. But aluminum is a different story. Aluminum works. It reflects back the sun.
The stated goal of the two top geoengineers in the US, Dr. David Keith and Dr. Ken Caldeira is to put ten to 20 million tons of nano particulates into the global sky every single year on top of industrialized pollution. Wigington’s research shows they are already doing it and more.
At another conference, when asked about the dangers of filling the skies with nano-aluminium, Keith waffled and then banned Wigington from any other geoengineering conference...

..Whenever you see trails now, you are looking at metals. When you see a haze, aluminum...
..Wigington decided to test for chemicals named in geoengineering patents, (US Patent 29,142) : “combustible compositions for generation aerosols, particularly for cloud modification and weather control and aersolization processes: barium, strontium, aluminum.” He raised enough money to take up a NOAA flying lab and test at altitude to measure the particulate trails three separate times. They sampled point to point above and below the cloud layer as well as through and found exactly the same elements listed in climate engineering patents and found in surface tests from all over the globe. They tested the glacier up on top of Mount Shasta, found 61,000 micrograms of aluminum per liter in the snow water. There should be none. Aluminium does not occur in nature on its own. They tested ponds in northern California, soil, farm animals, bees, insects, and sampled the dirt to show that the arthropods, microorganisms in the soil, were dying off. In air and water, they found 375 parts of aluminum per million, an escalation of 50,000% in five years.....Maui is particularly affected by geoengineering. One-third of its rainforest is dead, and organic farmers find their yields are plummeting. The chemicals accelerate fires and did all over the world this summers. Aluminum is an accelerant, which explains the chemicals found in the smoke, and the savagery of the fires that burn way beyond any former intensity. “In Maui, our skies are silver blue and at night, we see very few stars,” says an organic farmer. “If people really understood what was going on in Hawaii there would be a revolution. Most of us use water catchment as a water source and we tested it. It is filled with aluminum, strontium and barium. Our banana trees are disintegrating, the engineers are hammering microdoses into us every day. It is weakening the plants. We can’t grow natural seeds, we need GMO seeds which are being bioengineered to resist aluminum in the soil. Monsanto has developed abiotic stress seeds, but of course, they are GMO and you have to buy them every year.”...
..Scientists from Fish and Wildlife talk about the impacts on the forests. “We have reduced our canopy by half, every third or fourth tree in Chicago is dead. Same in Maui.” .....The Purpose of HAARP; the High-Frequency, Active Auroral, Research Project
HAARP was created to work in tandem with geoengineering warfare. HAARP emits excitation waves that affect the particles. They can heat the air, cool the air, and with HAARP’s directional antennas, they can focus their antennas where they want to move the jet stream. They can create an artificial high, and then accentuate the high. They can create more intense droughts, create rainfalls of 2 inches an hour, an inch a minute, unheard of, weather that is extreme. They can move hurricanes and tornadoes.

..In northern and central California, weather warfare is being used on farmers and ranchers to move water rights from private farmers and citizens into big agricultural enterprises. Some ranchers believe now that the drought in the Central Valley is deliberate. If the Governor can declare a state of emergency, he can take any land, corporatize the water, and prioritize corporate ag over local farmers, privilege corporate ag over the people. In California, private water use takes 12-15% of total, corporate agriculture uses 85%, but citizens pay the freight. California farm and ranchland is the most productive in the world and heavily coveted by mega corporations... HAARP was created to work in tandem with geoengineering warfare.

..This is how they are effecting Agenda 2030. Via genocide, via the deaths of billions of organisms, by the calculations that once they have what they want, they can bring it back. Humans have been subject to clearances since history began. Most of the U.S. and Canada was founded and first settled by desperate Scots cleared from the Highlands, and starved Irish cleared by the potato famines. Elites, those vicious predators at the top of the food chain have done this many times before.
The Dimming is the 2 hour movie, which is largely encapsulated in the excerpted blog post above, but has more comprehensive presentation if you have the time. I have been seeing this kind of information for about 20 years now, and have been seeing criss-crossed chemtrails over Austin for longer than that.
Sceptical Bobby Kennedy Jr. grills Dane Wigington and gradually becomes convinced in this 59 minute video interview.
Climate Viewer resource of maps, many interactive and climate projects on our planet is here. It is extensive and worth a look, which is instructive by itself.
It is quite a shifting of direction, but when we look at the imperial proxy war against Russia, in Ukraine, we are looking at the same global cabal of ownership and control of all life on earth. This is not going as planned for the "owners". One must wonder how much "alite panic" they are having, as we see more and more overt political actions, which are more and more obviously just lies against obvious reality. Russia is a "civilizational state", which reclaimed national identity after the neoliberal takeover of the 1990s killed one out of ten Russians. Russia has tremendous national resources, which are being defended again, and used to benefit Russians and Russian interests, as well as to support a coalition of countries seeking to also break away from globalist neoliberal neocolonialism.
Zelensky got the cold shoulder and bad press when he visited the UN this week. The irregularly-brownish carpet was rolled out for him this time.
The administration of US President Joe Biden decided not to supply ATACMS missiles with a range of up to 300 km to Ukraine, which caused a stormy reaction in Congress. The reason for the refusal was fears of Russian retaliatory measures, in particular, a possible withdrawal from the START-3 treaty and the start of a new arms race. Russia could deploy thousands of nuclear-tipped missiles aimed at US and NATO bases in Europe, a White House source emphasized.https://avia-pro.net/news/bayden-otkazal-ukraine-v-postavkah-raket-atacms-opasayas-otveta-rossii
Zelensky the puppet may have been prompted to insult his benefactors before national elections. The result is that he is quickly becoming a scapegoat as corruption and misdeeds are being presented in the news. Polish elections are looming, and Poles will now cut off arms to Ukraine to focus on their own preparations for war. Recent war games showed Poland losing a lot to a Russian invasion quickly. Zelensky's insult, suing Poland over the ban of Ukrainian (really American owned) grain, has provided the justification for cutting-off Ukraine. The "no-border" overtures seem to be over. Poles are tired of Ukrainians in their country being treated well as their own needs languish.
Poland & Ukraine Have Plunged Into A Full-Blown Political Crisis With No End In Sight
Simplicius had this aggregation of war news yesterday, but the videos have all been taken down. There was one video, about 10 minutes, of a Ukrainian soldier advancing with his platoon through a devastated strip of trees, narrating his progress, stepping over more than a dozen bodies of fallen comrades along the way, accidentally walking on one, getting into a hole after a "bird" (drone) spotted them, moving forward without real hope, just purpose. He explained that people could not understand what he and other soldiers went through every day and every hour.
Massive Ukrainian losses are discussed, as further reports give credence to the highest numbers, 80 - 90% losses, 400,000 or more dead so far, and the need for total mobilization. There are not enough tanks, so men go alone on foot to be killed, but conserve the tanks and armored vehicles... Ten German Leopard tanks were non-operational when they arrived at the Ukrainian border were sent promptly back. There is no way to field-repair them in Ukraine.
Russia has instituted a specific surrender-frequency for radio communication, like dialing 911. It is working very effectively.
Since the launch of the Volga project, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine are invited to go to the frequency of 149.200 for surrender, just over 3,500 enemy soldiers and officers have voluntarily surrendered. In fact, a whole brigade of "counter-offensive". Russia will not demobilize any soldiers until the SMO is completed, having added 300,000 this year, many who are still in training. Russia keeps options open against an overt NATO escalation.
Ukrainian forces are increasingly murdering foreign mercenaries who still remain with them at the front, so those who can get out are getting out, rather than be murdered.
Ukraine has not advanced towards any of the initial objectives of the spring/summer counter-offensive, but has had something like 71,000 deaths for a kilometer here and there, without breaching "the Surovkin Line" anywhere. They are desperately getting propaganda points in the media for hitting less-defended Russian targets where they can find them, which do not affect the actual war, but help to make the case for more money and more weapons from the west.
Russian Defense Minister Shoigu has finished meeting with DPRK President Kim Jong Un, and may get 10,000,000 rounds of heavy artillery, and some very effective mobile-launch intermediate range missiles, broadly useful on the battlefield, which would spare more expensive and higher tech Russian missiles. Or maybe not. Nothing official. (Ukrainian sources say the artillery is already arriving, but they would say that, in any case.)
And the Polish President bitterly issued this nasty statement about Ukraine:Polish president "A drowning person is extremely dangerous because he can pull you to the depths. He can drown the rescuer. Ukraine is behaving like a drowning person clinging to everything he can, but we have the right to defend ourselves against harm being done to us."
House Speaker McCarthy is stalling further aid, conditionally demanding to first get a personal audit from Zelensky on where American dollars are going.
Armenian/Azerbaijani human tragedy is discussed, as the Armenian President betrays his people in Nagorno-Karabakh, and just blames Russia, while he does nothing militarily. There is a West African update. Wagner is now being represented by General ("Armageddon") Surovkin, after his removal from view and Prigozhin's recent assassination.
There are many more stories and details, but those are what I see as the high points. I'm sorry the videos are no longer accessible.
There was a unifying narrative for the American people, which they were compelled to advance, right?
FBI Had So Many Paid Informants In J6 Riot They Lost Track And Had To Perform Audit: Ex-Official The occupied Palestinian territory has seen many journalists killed in the line of duty in recent years. Israel targets non-combatants frequently, especially journalists and medics.
Last week, Tel Aviv regime forces targeted Palestinian photojournalist Ashraf Abu Amra while he was covering similar protests.
In 2018, volunteer medic Razan Al-Najjar, 21, was shot and killed while tending to Palestinians wounded during the Great March of Return protests in Gaza.
In May 2022, the Israeli army shot dead Al Jazeera correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh.
Several reports and human rights groups concluded that slain Al Jazeera reporter Abu Akleh was intentionally targeted by Israeli troops, dismissing the Israeli regime’s account that the killing was unintentional. [Still, no apology; no criminal probe.]
This comes amid revelations of a notable increase in hateful anti-Palestinian discourse across various social media platforms in 2022.
Stagflation is here due to terminal decline in oil production, similar to the stagflation from the Arab Oil Embargo and quadrupling of oil prices in the 1970s.
In its latest Economic Outlook report, the OECD revised downwards its global economic forecast for 2024, expecting growth to slide to 2.7% next year, down by 0.2% from its June estimate, after an already "sub-par" expansion of 3% this year. The world economy will face its weakest annual growth next year, excluding 2020, when Covid-19 struck, since the global financial crisis, the Paris-based organization predicted.
"While high inflation continues to unwind the world economy remains in a difficult place," OECD chief economist Clare Lombardelli told reporters on Tuesday. "We're confronting the double challenges of inflation and low growth."
Interest-rate hikes aimed at curbing inflation are taking their toll and are expected to have a further negative impact on economies worldwide, the OECD warned. Meanwhile price growth shows little sign of easing, leaving "limited scope for any rate cuts until well into 2024."
These next two pieces are fairly detailed, and lay out the plans for development of nations and regions which have been suppressed to languish under global neoliberal-neocolonialism. It is not just North Korea which has been invited to this party, but Russia's Far East will get most of Russian development attention "for the rest of the century" according to President Putin.
Railways are a big part of this, as is city infrastructure and electrical generation, the same as for Africa, where the second article looks at the extensive and ongoing railroad projects in Africa, which are expected to do what the transcontinental railways in the US and Canada did, what those big projects always do...
