Long past time to remember that simple word No and relearn how to mean it, through our individual actions and human agency. The ability to say and mean No has been unrelentingly programmed out of us plebs by elite promotion of the endlessly easily and permanently offended. Don’t bother engaging- just ignore them.

The One who created the universe, who revealed himself to mankind through his Word both written and incarnated in the person of Jesus.

The God whose name is I Am.

The ONLY God who acknowledges that we cannot reach him, and so came himself to us. No other God has ever done this. No other God allowed himself to be tortured, humiliated, and hung on a cross for mere mortals. Only our God, the God who lives.

Oh, you mean the mish-mash of several ancient pantheons, from Ugarit and onwards, which was known as Mithra and which the jews when they gradually became monotheists claimed as their one true god, El (or Al, not easy to transcribe from those old languages), which originally was a water-and-rain god, understandably important in that region. Oh, and also Shamash of course, and lots of bits and pieces of the babylonian, egyptian and greco-roman panthens too.

No shipping?!!!

No shipping.

I mean, shipping has been happening since man’s earliest days.

I guess that the globalists in the US don’t want any bananas for breakfast or morning coffee. Oh, I guess the coffee can come by llama up from South America. My bad.

But no more paper imports from Vietnam, no clothing from Bangladesh or Taiwan.

But, if no shipping, then, {gasp} no oil! I mean, we can’t pump it here, so it will have to come

From the Middle East.

And I don’t know what the poor Brits will do, being that they’re on an island. Definitely no coffee or bananas or even chocolate for them.

Seriously. These people are, so arrogant. May God strike them down.

This has nothing to do with climate change. The current World Government (Davos Gang of Psychos) energy plan is a blatant and obvious scheme of energy rationing, forced energy poverty, using various devious means, like foisting useless wind & solar power down our throats. The thing about rationing is that it should be applied equally, not one group, namely the poor and middle class must ration and the rich don't need to. So either EVERYONE rations including the Aristocracy with their giant fuel guzzling yachts, mansions & private jets or NOBODY should ration.

If this really was about reducing emissions (hint: it isn't). There are far more rational and vastly more effective ways achieve that goal:

#1: remove the roadblocks against nuclear power production and expansion

#2: is quit building wind & solar which just vastly increases energy inefficiency

#3: is remove all preferential discriminatory subsidies given to the political favorites, like wind & solar, and not given to political pariahs like nuclear, hydro, ultra-supercritical coal and extreme efficiency CCGT.

#4: Use a revenue neutral carbon fee and dividend to shift the cost of emissions to those (like Davos Psychos) who cause the most emissions and reward the poor and middle class who produce the least emissions, this is done in a transparent, automatic and natural way.

#5: Replace the idiotic Carbon Credit, Net zero, Carbon Trading, Cap & Trade, REC's etc with the above CF&D. All the various Carbon Credit scams do is funnel incredible government guaranteed profit to the energy glutton rich all paid for by the energy frugal poor & middle class, while doing zip to reduce emissions, except by forcing energy poverty upon the poor & middle class who can't afford the high energy prices that the Carbon Credit scams create.

The trouble is, just as with COVID, these policies are not based on any data, but on a giant state of mass hypnosis. There is no data showing that people will improve greenhouse gases if they forego meat--the greenhouse gases produced by all of animal agriculture in the US is 3.5% of the total. There is no data showing that meat is unhealthy and plants are healthy--just the opposite in fact. Focusing on meat distracts attention from the vast amounts of carbon produced by industry, which elites do not want to curtail. If we forego meat, they can produce fake meat and sell it to us for a profit. The whole climate policy argument supposedly supported by "science" is anything but scientific; it has been completely corrupted by globalist corporations and the billionaires who run them, just as pharma has corrupted public health. As many have pointed out, electric cars do not save any carbon, nor do they improve pollution. Wind and solar are completely incapable of taking over the world's energy needs, even if we all cut back. It is all bright green lies used to shift power to unsavory billionaires.

Properly raised pastures ruminant animals are actually carbon-sequestering machines. As they eat the forage, the forage roots sink deeper into the ground, sequestering more carbon. The plants are fermented into glorious meat. The animals’ manure fertilizes the forage and encourages further growth, aka carbon sequestration.

It’s a wonderful process. And no crop land is required. So no fertilizers. No water runoff from the fields. No shipping of the grains to the animal farms for feed.

Exactly. Cows are part of the carbon cycle. Industry is not.

The pubic has largely figured out that all of it is a scam. The problem is vested interests within the public because about 50 % of GDP in western countries works for govt. Another large % works for the large corporations. Those who have spoken out are either retired or close to retirement age, so the threat of firing is not there. The other grouping that has spoken out is private business. Regardless, everyone is concerned about privacy. The freezing of bank accounts is a problem. I do not think the Nigel Farage situation has been "resolved" despite the British govt owning 39 % of Nat. West. We need solutions.

This is fast approaching a tipping point in our favour. The West is NOT China. We have a long History of Judeo-Christian Values and The Rule of Law.

Didn’t synchronization already take place for the past 2+ years though? Serious question, not being confrontational @ all. I was most horrified by that synchronization & mass compliance globally

Thanks for asking ! There is a difference between synchronization and mob rule. What we have been experiencing is scapegoating by a stupid and sometimes vicious mob who fell for the bait set up by the elites. The unvaccinated are the CONTROL GROUP which destroys The Narrative. Hence the threat to the elites. I have also Posted the Del Bigtree speech on this Commentary Section. Please listen to it. Synchronization is different. It is the concept of a spark of Light becoming stronger. The video I have Posted explains it beautifully. There is a Phase Change when the audience is clapping which is very discernible. As the spark gets stronger, ORDER is maintained. If you have ever watched a vicious mob, they are also focused when they are going after a scapegoat. There is order also. But the key difference is that they are TAKING LIGHT without earning it. A murderer takes Light without earning it. The spark that grows brighter on the other hand, is GIVING LIGHT and illuminating everything around it. We are giving Light at the Quantuum Level of Reality. That is the key difference.

I watch Del’s Highwire every week, he’s my hero!

But when the “scamdemic” reared, no one had voted or advocated for it (other than our “betters” when they realized or had planned all along to use it as an excuse for all of the tyranny later). Certainly later, mobs jumped on the blame-&-demonize-the-UNvax’d.

We need to radically decentralize everything, because the communist model they are pushing requires the centralization of infrastructure. energy, banking ... This means weaning people off the Nanny State and making govt as small as possible - about 30 % of GDP, rather than the current 50 % model.

More like billions will have to die. Just listen to what the Malthusian Club-of-Rome Bankster Overlords are saying. They are foisting their nutball anti-human, neo-feudal, energy & food poverty agenda against the 99% of humanity, causing misery, death and dramatic population reduction, while maintaining an Aristocracy who live in the lap of luxury. Listen to this arsehole, former director of the Club-of-Rome, Dennis Meadows:

" Depopulation: "I Hope It Can Occur In a Civil Manner"

"The World can support something like a billion people, maybe two billion"

" i know in one way or another it's going to come back down so i don't hope to avoid that, I hope that it can occur in a civil way "

(i.e. Plandemic and deadly forced vaccines, energy & food poverty):

https://rumble.com/v14uz0z-depopulation-i-hope-it-can-occur-in-a-civil-manner-club-of-romes-dennis-mea.html

The interesting fact about these Malthusian dogma Psychos is they refuse to debate with anyone with a contrary opinion. Like their statements are from God himself. I'd like to see this Meadows charlatan debate Patrick Moore, Bjorn Lomborg, Steve Koonin, Alex Epstein or Michael Shellenberger. They would beat him up so badly he would be running home crying for his mommy.

What these dimwit moronic birdbrains don't know or know and pretend that they don't know is with nuclear energy, fission or fusion, energy is effectively unlimited. In fact just the Earth's fission resources would power 3X our current World energy consumption for about 100Myrs at a very low cost and negligible emissions. When you have plentiful energy, you can recycle everything, including water. The only waste will be about 4000 tons of radioactive waste per year, which can probably also be recycled. That's why these Bankster Club-of-Rome grifters despise nuclear power so much (and spend $billions/yr to stifle it). It blows away their degrowth, resource limits dogma. Look what their paid stooges state:

" Complex technology of any sort is an assault on human dignity. It would be little short of disastrous for us to discover a source of clean, cheap, abundant energy, because of what we might do with it. "

Amory Lovins, Rocky Mountain Institute

" The prospect of cheap fusion energy is the worst thing that could happen to the planet. "

Jeremy Rifkin, Greenhouse Crisis Foundation

" Giving society cheap, abundant energy would be the equivalent of giving an idiot child a machine gun. "

Prof Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University

" A massive campaign must be launched to restore a high-quality environ­ment in North America and to de-develop the United States. De-development means bringing our economic system (especially patterns of consumption) into line with the realities of ecology and the global resource situation "

Sounds about right. I hesitate to make such gloomy predictions, but it's vital to come out of the closet with them, at the expense of freaking people out. One doesn't want to resemble the Extinction Rebellion crowd, but the sooner the writing on the wall is read out loud the sooner some sort of debate might occur. I am not sanguine tho. It's easy to believe that universal mRNA vaccination, for instance, is intended to depopulate 'in a civil manner'.

Jesus, "Everyone knows they are right". Dumbest statement ever. Like who? Oh, I know, Bankster Rent-Seeker, Malthusian, Fascist, Elitists and their minions. That's about it.

"Book, limits to growth". Dumbest book ever. Limits of what? Energy? Food? Land area? Mineral Resources? Population. Idiots know close to zero about how economies work, that's why every projection they ever made has been not just wrong, but so far off that they look like complete imbeciles.

In fact the only resource you fundamentally need is energy and we have a 100Myrs supply accessible on the Earth's land area = uranium & thorium. And much, much more on the Asteroids, Moon & Mars. And then there is fusion, a vastly larger energy resource. If you have energy you don't really need anything else. So limits to growth is utter nonsense.

In reality what you can have is various limits to the RATE OF GROWTH of various economic inputs like energy or mineral resources. You can't change resource availability instantly. It takes years to ramp up production.

And I don't know anyone talking about the cretin's unlimited growth fable. We are rightfully seeing population level off, peak children has already been achieved, population will peak at ~10-12B by end of the century and then decline. That's a good thing. And it has occurred due to prosperity, pensions, healthcare, education, technology. We need INCREASED prosperity not idiotic delusions of limits.

Limits to non-renewable resources? Again zero understanding of the science. All resources are non-renewable. So? I explained about the ONLY fundamental resource needed, energy, above.

AI/robots? That adds to the sustainable level of population. It doesn't reduce it. Machines have been taking jobs away since humans started farming. Just a front end loader replaces 100 workers with shovels. A modern industrialized farm replaces hundreds of farmers. So. That's nothing knew. All this has been happening while population has rapidly INCREASED.

Medical singularity??? What are talking about? More nonsense.

Pollution? Pollution is less not more. You really don't know history do you? And it is easy to continue reducing it. In fact it is the same Bankster Overlords and their moronic Malthusian policies that are causing most pollution. Not hard to fix that. Pollution is wasted resources.

Lots of people will change their behavior without thinking it's a choice. I fly less because when I left Europe for Mexico, Air France and the whole system were so abusive and dishonest, I realized travel was too risky.

We all need a bit more villager common sense in our fine cities.

My friends up in Swat, they had electricity, and those three-bar heaters. But the power went out all the time. Whenever it did, they brought out the kerosene lanterns and the charcoal braziers. Phone lines in those days were of course of the old-fashioned kind.

Where I'm living now, in a lovely building in a town that pretends it's a city in a NE state subject to the brutal vagaries of weather, power goes out, I'm fucked. Can't even make a cup of tea. Phone's a faux landline. Yeah, I got a cellphone for emergency purposes. So long as the power comes back before the battery runs down, it's all good.

In regard to the broader perspective of your post, seems to me that feudalism really has never gone out of fashion, in the hearts of our betters.

And thank you for the entirety of that Nietzsche quote. I'd quite misunderstood his intent before this. He'd nailed it, absolutely.

If you have the time and the inclination, read The Gay Science in its entirety.

Nietzsche wrote his works around one central thought or idea per work, so the whole text is him circling that idea like a wolfpack cricling a herd of caribou, until pouncing on the weak links and removing, in the long run improving the herd and themselves.

As for power, perhaps you should consider investing in a mini-stove from BioLite? They have models weighing just a few kilos which also converts heat to electricity, enough to charge a phone or so.

Now that I've got that whole quote as the sort of meat I'd want to dine on, I think indeed I should read that book.

As far as that BioLite stove? You don't realize the diabolical thoroughness with which they've ensured all means of survival are denied us. That would likely invalidate my lease; the "fire safety" system here includes not only fire alarms but sprinklers not only in every room, but in my clothes closets too, and since I've lived here, tenants have set off the system three times and flooded not only their own apts. but the entire line beneath them, and the hallways on each floor had to have the walls pulled off so the interiors could dry out. I've been extremely extremely relieved none of them lived above me.

But I'm sure gonna recommend it to relations and friends who'll really be able to benefit from it.

If I'd never spoken with you before, I'd answered "Pull the other one, it plays Judas Priest", but seeing as such insanity-safety (insafety? safeanity?) is de jure, de facto and de rigeur here too I'll just cry a little into my bowl of filmjölk and rhubarb mush (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filmjölk).

Nietzsche is good fun, often deceptively easy to read. "Also Spracht Zarathustra" is a real head-trip; first time I read it, it felt as if I had been trying to track all the ants running hither and yon on top of an anthill, using only my eyes.

Another good one, sadly often passed over nowadays, is Alfred Jules Ayer and his "Language, Truth, and Logic". To quote wikipedia, " Language, Truth and Logic brought some of the ideas of the Vienna Circle and the logical empiricists to the attention of the English-speaking world." Since it's from 1936, it should be available online for free, legally, somewhere.

I am late to realize I should be creating an archive of your remarks.

First month I was in this apt., in the dead of winter, the bulb in my floor lamp imploded. Black singed glass and a lovely plume of smoke, and I ran around opening every window (world-record speed if only it had been recorded) and hoped I had enough credits on the good-deed side.

I had bought myself a lovely little toaster oven, since it seemed to me if everything was electric I might as well have a small appliance as well as the regular stove, and every time I made toast, the sprinkler head in the kitchen began winking ominously. So I now make bad toast in the regular oven and count myself lucky to be able to eat some even in a degraded form. For obvious reasons I have not attempted to make toast using the broil function of my oven.

You must understand that the geniuses who designed this building made an open-plan galley kitchen (of decent size I concede), dining room and living room. The windows are at the far end of the living room. There are no windows, or outside-vented exhaust, in the kitchen. Just one of those little exhaust-fan thingies with a filter leading nowhere, underneath the microwave (instrument of the devil!) affixed above the stove.

Now, the 2 bathrooms, on the same axis (I guess that's how one would say it) as the kitchen, i.e. one to the left of the dining room, and the other abutting the other side of the pantry wall) each have outside-vented exhaust fans. But the genius architect didn't think one in the kitchen was necessary?

Otherwise, this is a lovely place to live.

The way would be for humans to feel it in their hearts; that there is a better, simpler way to live that honours the planet and human joy.

As I'm sure you and many others have, I too have had my fair share of meetings where one is supposed to brainstorm and hammer out a campaign, a programme or somesuch. Always progressive in that way that makes actually fulfilling them impossible due to the goalposts being undefined or even undefinable. So, I thought I'd ride the coattails of your post and quickly go through the 17 points up there. Also, caveat: Specific numbers and greater would require actual research, so I'll stick to the principles instead.

1: impossible due to poverty being a relative concept. Abject poverty can be relieved virtually overnight, relative can't. It can only be gradually removed by ensuring there are always profitable work (which is easier to achieve by dropping taxes for the lowest income brackets, perhaps even to zero, than with welfare checks) even for those with least ability to compete in the labour market. What is being prepared intead, in action if not intent, is a society with at least 1/3 on perpetual generational welfare.

2: Same as 1, really. Could be solved overnight in several ways. A good start would be to make domestic food production tax exempt if under a specific (and quite generous) level of revenue/value.

3: Good health is easy. Public healthcare strictly focused on basic health, not lifestyle-related stuff like removing freckles or phalloplasty for the mentaly ill - everything above "keeping people alive"-level is left to the private sector, with zero tax-based subsidies. Well being is a meaningless phrase of the same variety as "pursuit of happiness", you have to be very special indeed to believe that one.

4: Quality education begins with realising what schools are for. Not social engineering but pushing children and youngsters to achieve as much as they apply themselves to achieve. When you arrive in my classroom you are no longer greek or jew or hindu or other: you are my student and I will teach you. That's all. Any other problem, situation or other - talk to the counselor, your rabbi, or whomever - it's not my job and it's not the school's either. Order, discipline, and decorum.

5: Going through the law with a fine-tooth comb to remove all instances of legally mandated discrimination between sexes, and you're done. The rest must be left to people themselves if it's to be achieved at all.

6: Not a problem. Really, it's not. The West only needs to look at how it was achieved a century ago in Scandinavia, and copy that. Getting rid of the capitalist grift and state corruption that gets in the way is the real problem.

7: Go nuclear on the national level. Make domestic alternatives tax exempt. Example: here, we could communally finance a small hydro-electric station, the dam already being in place. It could produce enough for the fewer than 1 000 households in the area, with surplus to sell. So make it tax exempt up to a certain level. The capitalists and taxmen both will still get their Shylock's share, since what we then wouldn't spend on energy we would spend on other stuff.

8: Too vague, much too vague. Also, economic growth is a pointless measurement as it says nothing of the contents of the economy: growing profits from speculation and so on will look like growth, yet nothing of actual, real, value has been produced (no, money even if you call it BitCoin has no intrinsic value, that's why using money to measure economic growth makes one draw the wrong conclusions - goods produced and services rendered have value, depending on the intrinsic value of the goodor service inquestion).

9: Again, make it profitable and easy. Slash copyrights and related IP-laws down to ten years after first sale. Make it 'green' by basing import tariffs on distance travelled, quality of product and the producing nation's environmental protection laws. Want to make more moolah? Offer superior product. I'd gladly pay real money for the kind of drill I could still buy in the 1980s, made in West Germany, rather than paying a pittance for the chinese sh*t they peddle today. And that 40-year old drill designed and manufcactured by white men still works as if new.

10: Gah. Again, remove discrimination from the law. That's enough.

11: Again: Gah! I think my points above covers how to achieve this.

12: And another one. So vague. Impossible to comment on. But the better, more durable and repairable the product, the better for the environement, even if it's a coal-fired engine.

13: Groan. We're into the part of the meeting where the me-tooists and hangers on are shouting their meaningless slogans to show the head witch that they are loya followers. But okay, just to say something, let's punish polluters for real. Give the major shareholders, the BoE ond the CEOs real prison time if their companies violates EP laws in a significant manner, no matter where on the planet they do it. (Guaranteed: not even St Greta would support that, since that could send both her and her parents to prison.)

14: Make fish farming tax free. End of problem.

16: Pretty sure it's "Peace, justice and the american way" that's Superman's tagline. Want peace? Prepare for war. Want justice? Make all legal proceedings completely transparent (yes, we might need to make exemptions for children, molestation and such horrors) and make the offender's registry fully public. Remove prescription. Institute mandatory capital punishment for certain crimes, evidence allowing. The strenght of an institution is based on the accountability of the persons in it - full, personal public accountability. Shouldn't matter if it's a CHAV wth a knife holding up someone behind a pub or a council memeber embezzling funds: theft is theft. First gets you prison and voactional training. Second 5 years labour camp. Third theft gets you the short sharp drop - no matter if you're Gav the Gobber of Glouchester or Lord Ponceival Chinless the fourth.

17: No. That means supra-state level decisionmaking, meaning democracy loses whatever little substance it has left. Which gives us the people only two options: violent nationalism and outright jingoism or knuckling under for ever.

Hope you don't mind me doing like a dough, but this topic is dear to me.
