It' what I keep saying, and I did not originate the analysis. It was broadly acknowledged by late 2021 as I recall. It was BlackRock's plan from September/October 2019, the "Going Direct Bailout".
I woke last night to Youtube blaring out Kamala Harris' debate assertions and Trump's inadequate replies to her tsunami of repeated lies and psy op claims. Even here in Greece, as with the rest of the world, we know these have long been debunked and / or never happened, for example the Jan.6 "insurrection" broadcast live globally, with police removing railings, beckoning people inside, and leading them around....yes, before the world's very eyes, because yes, the world was interested. Obviously the global audience doesn't matter but it is downright spooky and chilling to hear these malevolent fairy tales re-asserted as fact and to know that American True Believers will stick by them, no matter how false and criminal they know them to be. Worse, enforce them. A VERY scary situation and I wish you luck and courage.
Doctorow writing along the lines that western govts are rational, is not necessarily the way it is. Maybe the US govt still is, really, sort of. But mine, the British one certainly isn’t. There’s always a method to there madness though, and financially they’ve dug themselves, or rather us, a huge loan by underwriting some imf loans to that wretched place. £60 billion I’ve heard. And why is everyone so certain the US navy destroyed Nordstream, the Royal Navy could do it easily. Dambusters anyone?
The other thing is there’s nothing certain about oil being finite, it’s certainly not the way Russia sees it. They just drill a lot deeper which were led to believe only using advanced western tech only they can do. Consumption figures declining in the west is as much a statement of our economies
I think "Abiotic" production of oil seems likely, but it is slow, so yes, there is something deeper, but on a human timeline, it's still quite limited, compared to our exponential growth of consumption. What can be extracted "economically" in an oil-based economy?
There will be a slow drip from some wells "forever", as there is in "played out" fields, right?
We should assume government actions to be "rational", but when they do not fit our assumptions, our assumptions may need revision. I now assume that the owners want to get rid of a lot of us "useless eaters" to conserve "nature" and oil for their own use.
Let’s get this straight. Ohio State’s leadership is now making an institutional decision that employees should not be offerred access to any Covid-19 mRNA vaccine. I am (pretending to be) confused. I mean, if the vaccines could protect patients from being infected by staff members and they were safe to give to staff members, why wouldn’t you do everything possible (like a mandate) to ensure they receive them?
"I will put forward that exponential growth of real economy cannot continue forever in a finite universe, let alone on a finite planet,"
The jury is still out on the finiteness of the universe, it may or may not be infinite. The statement made by greater minds than mine that human stupidity may well be the only thing that is infinite, seems to be about to get proven one day soon. Mushroom clouds anyone?
In his latest interview Michael Bryant joins the dots between the
2019 Repo banking crisis, and the 'covid pandemic' lockdowns.
Seems the lockdown were to save the economy for crisis...

Yes, other analysts have made the same claim. But it needs continued
exposure as the same weapons will most likely be wielded against us
in the future... (In 1938 Orson Welles demonstrated, unintentionally (?),
how mass media could induce the masses into believe something was
happening when in fact that something wasnt happening... Nazi
Minister for propaganda, Dr Josef Goebbels ,was very impressed.)

Thanks Eleni.
1) It's better to be lucky than to be good.
2) Fools, lacking fear, don't require courage, either.

That's rational, right?
Thank you for always ending on a good note!
I try not to be a total bummer.
