Pondering,
I have long wondered how people might join life-forces outside of the top-down economic model, which now dominates.
Is there an app for that?
This week I have had long talks, serious talks about our world, with good old friends of like mind, and others of like mind, more recently met. It's been spontaneous.
Getting fired in the garden on Monday did open that door, and I did announce it in public on the blog. It was all quite satisfying, and we all had the same things on our mind.
The current power elites in finance, government, media, and especially the spook-world need to stay in power through the coming economic transition out of the exponential-growth economy.
That is a transition out of the last 300 years of western economy, which is already way more than most people know. It is basically all that anybody knows, and it has all been an anomaly. The anomaly happened due to discovering a lot of free-energy and metal ores that worked well to exploit free energy and metal ores, which worked well...
That is in terminal decline now. The production of useful things with energy and mineral resources has been such a good production engine that it has been able to carry a whole lot of non-productive humans and even counterproductive and destructive humans.
What a marvelous mule! The mule has been fed worse and less, and is covered with leeches and ticks now. It is weakening.
The leeches and ticks have a plan to lighten the mule's load by getting rid of the guy with the cart and the feed bag. That guy might be us.
That's my analogy, and I'm sticking to it. The plan the leeches have might work for the lifespan of a leech, or maybe not quite that long.
What are the details of the leech's plan?
I don't know, but the number of humans the earth can sustain long term keeps being quoted as half a billion to a billion.
That's redundancy for nine out of ten of us. Time seems short. There is a sense of urgency all around.
Usually, big wars are used to kill off a lot of the population, but not 90% of the world.
That would destroy all of the stuff, too, and the leeches need the stuff to survive.
Some kind of a controlled cull, fast, but not too fast, with some control elements, can be provided with pestilence and famine, without war. Wars need to avoid destroying critical infrastructure and resource access. Resources can be put into mothballs, as war did to oil under Iraq and Libya.
Global digital currency can cut any person out at any time, causing a one-person-famine. That is ideally targeted.
What is necessary is to maintain fealty to the owners. If the owners hold the key to life itself, which might be the treatment for the latest mortal threat, then they can eliminate those who do not comply. They can maintain control.
Who lives compliantly under those conditions?
Maybe not pilots for Southwest, and nuclear physicists at Los Alamos. Maybe not Chicago and LA cops.
I won't bend that knee. I won't betray my patients.
Can I live without complying with the imposed conditions? I can live today.
I am preparing for times of irregular food and irregular fuel and irregular utilities.
Money looks like it is going to break again, and there are fights over what the fix will be.
Those money-fix fights go on for decades in history. Whoever makes the money at the end is the winner.
Sometimes money is gold and or silver. It could be oil or coal or gas or wheat.
It can only be Bitcoin if there is a "World Wide Web".
A lot of partisan actors can take down the WWW these days.
What is up with these excess deaths of healthy young people in the western world this year?
There are more heart disease and cancer deaths than there should be.
It's not just COVID, and drugs and suicides and car accidents.
Jim Kunstler wonders, too:
The public’s view of this panoramic debacle is apt to flip starkly in the days ahead as five years of mind-fuckery ends in this national drunken driving incident. China may postpone the Evergrande unwind a few weeks longer, but its economy is foundering on the more fundamental energy quandary — it doesn’t have enough fossil fuels to run the joint — and there’s no prospect the situation will improve, meaning that the world will get less of all of the stuff that China was making. In short, Globalism is winding down, and standards of living are sinking with that. The capital markets are gravid with terror over it. Meanwhile, the West is seeing the first signs that the Covid-19 vaccines it went cuckoo for may be producing a strange phenomenon of “excess mortality” around the world. Suspiciously higher rates of heart attacks, vascular disorders, cancer, and other bad stuff. It’s downright spooky. In Scotland, for instance, the vaccination rate is 87 percent and weekly deaths are up 30 percent. Pandemic reporter Alex Berenson said on TV that non-Covid-19 deaths were significantly higher everywhere, and he mused out loud that there was some connection between this and the vaccines. Uh oh.
Social media, network media, and legacy print media do not want that story getting around. Some of the most deranged Wokesters across this land greeted the debut of the mRNA vaccines like a holy jubilee of salvation (and still do!). What happens in their psyches when the darn thing bites them in the ass? There’s a fair chance we’re going to find out, and soon.
Celente says this is going to end badly, and he’s talking about “the greatest financial crash in history.” The little guy, meaning “We the People,” should prepare, and time to do that is running short. Celente says, “Prepare for the worst. If the worst doesn’t happen and you are prepared, you lose nothing. If the worst happens and you are not prepared, be prepared to lose everything. We are in a place that no one could have invented in early January 2020. You could not make this story up. . . My biggest fear is they take us to war.”
Florida Gov. DeSantis calls special session to ban COVID-19 vaccine mandates
Texas Governor Abbott signed an executive order forbidding vaccine mandates in Texas on October 11. It became a kind of law, with up to $1000 fine.
The Federal Vaccine Mandates are not yet law and can be attacked legally as soon as they are declared to be OSHA requirements.
Texas Senate Bill 51 would have put more teeth in Abbott's executive order, but did not quite have enough votes to pass, and the special session has ended.

What the British are saying is they are now finding the vaccine interferes with your body’s innate ability after infection to produce antibodies against not just the spike protein but other pieces of the virus. Specifically, vaccinated people don’t seem to be producing antibodies to the nucleocapsid protein, the shell of the virus, which are a crucial part of the response in unvaccinated people.
This means vaccinated people will be far more vulnerable to mutations in the spike protein EVEN AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN INFECTED AND RECOVERED ONCE (or more than once, probably).
It also means the virus is likely to select for mutations that go in exactly that direction, because those will essentially give it an enormous vulnerable population to infect. And it probably is still more evidence the vaccines may interfere with the development of robust long-term immunity post-infection.
The titans of global capitalism are exploiting the Covid-19 crisis to institute social credit-style digital ID systems across the West.
The death by starvation of Etwariya Devi, a 67-year-old widow from the rural Indian state of Jharkhand, might have passed without notice had it not been part of a more widespread trend.
Like 1.3 billion of her fellow Indians, Devi had been pushed to enroll in a biometric digital ID system called Aadhaar in order to access public services, including her monthly allotment of 25kg of rice. When her fingerprint failed to register with the shoddy system, Devi was denied her food ration. Throughout the course of the following three months in 2017, she was repeatedly refused food until she succumbed to hunger, alone in her home.
