Need A Much Bigger Lie

Incredulous,

Gail Tverberg, the World Economy Needs to Simplify
Economic growth and added complexity sound like they would be good, but at some point, the combination gets to be too much–simplification is needed.
Too much of the world’s income starts going to non-working individuals and to high-earning workers in privileged fields. Ordinary working citizens start to say, “Wait a minute, there is not enough left for my everyday expenses. The system needs to change.” Elections lead to the selection of politicians who want war, or who want to overturn the current system...
..In this post, I will try to explain a bit of the underlying problem and give some hints at what the simplification might look like. Part of the problem is too little energy supply. This is a problem that cannot be told to the public; it would be too distressing. In this post, I present the result of a recent academic study that has attempted to recalibrate the findings of the 1972 Limits to Growth study with updated data. https://ourfiniteworld.com/2024/12/04/the-world-economy-needs-to-simplify/

I think 2024 was the new 2019, myself. The Honest Sorcerer, What A Year 2024 Was Simply put: there is no such thing as an “energy transition”. It’s a myth. All proposals, from wind and solar to hydrogen, depend on minerals mined, delivered and refined by using these polluting fuels in copious amounts. As soon as the extraction of fossil fuels begin to decline, you can bet that the production of solar panels and wind turbines will eventually follow suit. And since diesel fuel is also used to grow and deliver crops, the question whether to burn it to mine minerals for EV batteries, or use it to grow food to prevent hunger will resolve itself rather quickly. And only when you add our propensity for war whenever resources grow thin, you start to really appreciate the relative peace and calm we have today.

What a Year 2024 Was

So I have to guess that nuking the inauguration on January 20, 2025 would get rid of Trump, Vance, Musk and all the rabble-rousers against the "deep state"? Jeffrey Prather: Drone sightings a DISTRACTION from the Deep State’s plan to use suitcase nukes Former Soviet Lt. Gen. Alexander Lebed's claims in 1997, stating that around 250 suitcase nukes were created by the Soviet Union with 100 missing, still resonate through intelligence circles. The potential for these devices to be used to destabilize the new administration is a serious security concern. https://www.naturalnews.com/2024-12-27-prather-drones-distraction-deep-state-suitcase-nukes.html

This is the case, which I have posted before, in the context of Gaza findings, for a novel and small neutron-bomb type device using deuterium-doped enriched-uranium. Is 'Israel' using small nuclear weapons in Gaza and South Lebanon? Dr. Christopher Busby is part a mixed crew of investigative reporters and commentators from Lebanon and some film-makers investigating "Israel's" use of enriched uranium in strikes on Gaza on Lebanon, and aim to follow up on the strange illnesses that are appearing on the battlefield... ..'Israel' in Gaza: 'Red Mercury'. Dr. Christopher Busby In 2021, a scientific report in the prestigious journal Nature confirmed what I had been saying since 2006. "Israel" has, since its attacks on Lebanon in 2006 and those on Gaza in 2008 and 2014, used a new nuclear weapon, one which kills with a high temperature radiation flash and with neutrons. This weapon, which leaves an identification footprint, but no fission products like Caesium-137, we now know was also employed by the USA in Fallujah, Iraq in 2003, and previously in Kosovo also.
The residues, inhalable Uranium aerosol dust, together with the neutron damage to tissues, cause a range of serious and often fatal health effects that puzzle doctors and defy treatment. Without knowing what caused such effects, which often mimic other illnesses or result in fungal infections that kill, doctors are powerless to help and just watch the exposed individuals die. https://english.almayadeen.net/articles/analysis/is--israel--using-small-nuclear-weapons-in-gaza-and-south-le

John Helmer had this story, mostly introducing the documentary and analytical work of nuclear scientist Christopher Busby.
NEW EVIDENCE THAT ISRAEL IS USING A NEW URANIUM WEAPON – MAKE THAT THE NEUTRON BOMB
The neutron bomb was invented in 1958 by Samuel Cohen of the Livermore Laboratory of California and then RAND...
Abstract
Since 2003 measurements made by Green Audit in Fallujah, Iraq 2003, Lebanon 2006 and Gaza 2008 have provided unequivocal evidence of Uranium residues which show anomalous Uranium U-238/U235 isotope signature ratios. Results from independent laboratories in Europe and the UK, using different techniques, revealed the presence of enriched Uranium in biological materials and environmental samples including soil, bomb craters and air (as recorded in vehicle air filter dust). More recently, 2021 results published in the journal Nature, show that Uranium enrichment levels in background samples from Gaza have been increasing markedly since 2008. Since enriched Uranium is an anthropogenic substance which does not exist in nature, the question arises as to the source, in the weapons employed by the USA (Fallujah) and Israel (Lebanon, Gaza). It is proposed that the only logical answer is that a Uranium-based weapon exists that produces U-235 by neutron activation and has been deployed. Such a weapon must be some kind of neutron bomb...
..Conclusion and further investigation.
An inevitable deduction from the consistent findings of enriched Uranium in samples from Gaza, Lebanon and Iraq, is that a neutron weapon of some kind has been employed since the second Gulf War, and possible before then. This is an Israeli (and US) secret weapon, as was reported by Robert Fisk in The Independent in 2006 [7]. The increases in congenital effects seen in the Fallujah population [8,9,10] and also in Gaza [20,21] can plausibly have resulted from exposure to neutrons as well as to the Uranium particulate aerosols. The weapon is ideal for armies employed in methodological destruction both of fighters hidden in urban environments (where neutrons pass through walls) and for any state which has the aim of destroying the civilian population using a genetic mutation weapon (cancer, fertility loss, birth defects). It is, however, a nuclear weapon, and those deploying it are using a nuclear weapon against civilian populations as part of a project to destroy an enemy state population without acknowledging this. This is a war crime. https://johnhelmer.net/new-evidence-that-israel-is-using-a-new-uranium-weapon-make-that-the-neutron-bomb/#more-89018

​ Sasha Latypova, A. Toynbee "Universal States: Ends or Means?" Excerpts from "A Study of History", abridged, illustrated, chapters 32-33. There is a misunderstanding, usually divided along political party lines, about the United States and other nominally sovereign independent countries of the world. Typically the “leftists” call them “democracies”, while the conservatives in the US counter this with “we are a constitutional republic, not a democracy”. Other groups decry the corporate form of the US government. I think trying to pinpoint the ill invariably misses the point, as any state will undergo all of these forms before a given civilization ends.

According to Toynbee, a “universal state” is the last phase of a society before extinction. This doesn’t mean people go extinct: they don’t disappear as a group, however they may be reduced in numbers. We are talking about the concept of a “state” in this case​.

The plant was privatized in 2004 by Transnistrian officials and later sold to a Russian state-owned company. Moldova doesn’t recognise the privatisation...​ ..Transnistria, which broke away after a short war in 1992 and is not recognised by most countries, also declared its own state of emergency in mid-December in case the region does not receive gas supplies.
