we desperately need a recalibration in the energy-cost-of-energy equation and a willingness to accept lower profits at least in the short run. there are a ton of deposits out there which will require some investment to access (we were told the falklands war was over strategic territory...um, ok). there are also new reserves coming on line in places that were mapped exhaustively for decades (san diego, gaza and chinese coast). i think fossil fuels are largely a myth: oil is generally abiotic and the second most common liquid on earth.
i get the sense that most of the trillionaires' wealth has been gambled away via a ponzi scheme of worthless derivatives. so most of those dynastic assets have been whittled down to property, yachts, hot cars and private planes. and those in the know desperately want to get their trillionaire status back.
that's why the cabal is so desperate to create natural asset capital so they can continue to have fun in the casino. they're going to weaponize the arguments to end the fed, and the need for an asset-based currency in lieu of the current fiat system, to suit their goals. meanwhile, the bitcoin bros (who also know that their holdings are ultimately worthless) will try to sell the more gullible and digitally-addicted among us on the idea of farming their own data. easier to sell social credit score and prison planet with a carrot than with a stick

In 2002, along with fellow Dominican nuns, Sister Carol Gilbert and Sister Jackie Hudson, Platte breached an intercontinental ballistic missile facility in Colorado. The three poured blood in the shape of a cross to remember victims of war. Then they rapped on the blast lid with a household hammer. The small hammers do not damage such massive weapons in any significant way. The three were accused of preventing the United States from attacking its enemies or defending itself, which is the definition of sabotage.
Just like Rice’s group and many other Plowshares activists, the three nuns carried rosaries, Bibles and other objects in small black bags. Explosives experts, however, thought they might have bombs. Attack helicopters swooped in as they sang and prayed. Police pointed semiautomatic rifles at them and shut down a nearby highway. This was an unusual reaction, since Plowshares protesters are usually stopped and arrested with far less fanfare, and it may be why the prosecutors won a sabotage conviction.
Rice’s prosecutors brought up Platte’s case during her trial, in which she and her companions were also convicted of sabotage. However, two years later an appeals court overturned it, admonishing that “no rational jury could find” they actually injured the national defense.
In the past week I have had one piece of evidence that 'prices are going back down'. My annual car insurance premium dropped very significantly indeed.
It's just one thing, but hopefully it will be a sign of other prices dropping too.

When the derivatives-casino crashes, the losses need to be assigned to the gamblers, not retirees and normals.
debt slavery for millennia

It is ironic that America who has ignored the two nations with whom it shares a border is . . . finally having trouble with those borders.
Dr. John, you sir are working too hard!!
Thank You, Sister. I am a driven-man these days, which is nothing really new.

"Talkin' 'bout my generation..." or a little bit older, but they were my inspiration after 1968.

You may have entered a lower risk category, Rhys.

It's possible, but going from 59 to 60 is hardly a dramatic shift, I would have thought.
