Interesting opening. The worse place on the planet is those sterilized hospitals! The best is a natural garden.

For those with less time start minute mark 7:20 and get through the farmer story.

La France c’est moi, moi je suis la France....it used to be and it almost sounds like another absolutism I’m the science and when you attack me you attack the science. This French revolt is in full support of the younger generation, the students the coming generation of entrepreneurs and they see no FUTURE with or in President Macron, the inflation, the economic deterioration, the pensions, the loss of power, presence and economic interests in Africa taken over by Russians and Chinese....difficult if not impossible for Macron to hold on to his elective power, 63 arbitrary 67% not in support of him.

Macron is a reusable Rothschild property. He is going down for this act, but it will not mean the end of his life of service to the family.

He followed orders.

It's France I'm worried about.

Their cookie jar is already empty, and the people don't know it. They are about to be blamed.

Blame is not in their genes, they will empty the jar through the bottom, the French are too much hedonist to suffer needless and feeling guilt about it. From de Sade to Madame de Pompadour, the cancan, folie bergères, French kiss, the sexual revolution, the haute cuisine, the Statue of Liberty not?….they are resilient I can guarantee they’ll reinvent themselves as many times as needed without the Rotchilds and without Macron. Vive La France

The French aristocracy differ from the French workers, don't they?

They are separate worlds, life in the country is very different from Paris which is like another country. Working class is now due to the inflation having hard times, still enjoying their good wines, good cheese and keep their smiles. Macron and his vassals I don’t see them smiling as in the beginning of his presidential election, and I would extend that too to for instance Harari, Schwab, Joe, Tedros, also sour and hard faces all the way down like Turtles. There are still living Gods in France and you can live like them, 😉

The Guardian may have been targeted by the UK security services, but it is its current ownership, namely by US neoconservatives, that predicates its virulence, its globalist hatred and its contempt for human values. It has actually spawned a website, off-guardian.org, which was founded by those repeatedly censored at the Guardian's website for expressing freedom of thought. As someone who suffered similarly, I have supported OffG through reading it, contributing BTL comments etc.

No-one any longer has any expectation that the Guardian will ever return to its founder's beliefs. It is a foreign-owned propaganda vehicle and will likely remain thus short of 'nationalising the Press' i.e. kicking foreign owners out.

Agreed. I post things from Off-Guardian sometimes.

Addiction to growth. Infinite growth. In that sense, there is no difference between a Japan or What Nation Have We. Yes the Japanese did not go extinct. They colonized everything around the island including China (for almost 200 years)

Do continue to watch Japan. Japanese, even in industry and government, are generally faithful to the interests of Japan, unlike what we see in the US and Europe currently.

I am sorry to not be able to give some definitive link to that effect.

I lived there for 3 years.

Hi John

We have no evidence to back that claim sir "Japanese can work together for the good of society. "

When did they last time?

Also addicted is a fairer word in this context, and it's not the japanese only.

Anyone in any country will burn more energy once it's made readily available at a cheap price.

Since Japan is an ex-imperial power, that privilege was granted to the Japanese decades ago.

Food is a necessity. Addictions are not necessary for life.

Oil allows about 50-90% (calculations differ) of us to live through modern agriculture, food processing and transport, powered by oil, and fertilizers made largely from natural gas.

During the period of the warlords, Japanese forests were severely depleted. Japan has worked together for hundreds of years to steadily rebuild them, creating a lean, spare and efficient aesthetic of constructon in the process.

Hi John

"Japan has taken an independent energy policy pathway, though reservedly so..." Yes indeed, however we must not forget that it's still a totally energy addicted society, much like China, India, America, Europe and the rest of the world. One way or another, the oil and gas will flow through and through, whichever policy or new slapdash mandate, Japan may embrace, in this period of late-capitalism, where almost every developed nation is in deficit and running on borrowed energy or time - Including Russia.

"Energy fed" might be more apt than "energy addicted".

The Japanese can work together for the good of society.

Keep an eye on what the Japanese do.

I had a conversation with an acquaintance a few days ago as to whether US could become a rebellious society again. I waved my hand over the retirees in the restaurant and said they will agree to anything to keep the payments coming. They are used to doing nothing. The old guy sitting next to me at the counter just slouched down wanting to avoid even the thought.

Think solar panels on the roof as a first passover once this one world government kicks into high gear.

It is harder to live without water and gas than without electricity.

Narrowing of choices.

I stayed at camp for 10 days without any power and used about a half gallon of water a day. After a few days everything slows way down and a routine is established. This became peaceful and I didn't want to end it.
