Brilliant as ever John. More and more courageous people to applaud for their perseverance and allegiance to truth and compassion. The unnecessary suffering and death inflicted on good souls by soulless profiteers is sickening.
Tank You, Madhava. I looked at your 9/11 garden-party story, and admired your decision to red-pill your college friends at the reunion. (I cringed a lot.) I was heartened that one friend weighed "impossible" against "unlikely", as Sherlock Holmes would have done.
I got 100 copies of 9/11 In Plane Site https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/911:_In_Plane_Site burned and gave them away as we traveled around the world with bikes and backpacks in 2005-2006 (our family dream) after selling the house and cars. We had a little Apple laptop and would show the video to people at youth hostels where we stayed, giving them a copy if they wanted.
A fine selection of news. The Dr Ruby interview w Sasha L. was revealing in terms of the mechanism of shedding. I have care of a very elderly family member who appears to have a VRE and I started wondering about 6 months ago if the jabs were the cause? Btw - it’s a beautiful picture of you both! Here is a battle cry you might appreciate- https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=89g9yMGFGlM&pp=ygUNQW1hemluZyBncmFjZQ%3D%3D
I think a controlled demolition of the EC, targets an evolving totalitarian structure that is overproducing elites all too willing to trade sovereignty for collective economic, political and military security, which has cost the US $3 trillion since 1997, recycling Europe’s excess production into US treasuries and dollar capital flight into the lion’s share of tourist receipts, and who knows how many hundreds of millions of man hours in US defense contracting (and I don’t mean to reduce that trading sovereignty is a problem in the US also ).
Intergovernmentalism in the European Community has evolved into an economic form of supranationalism with the persona change from Community to (Soviet like) Union, proving to be the single economic rival to US hegemony in the post-Cold War era, especially if aligned with China, see Ronald Leslie Kellar: “EUROPEAN UNION: US HEGEMONIC COMPETITOR”.
It is my opinion that both US and Russian security interests are aligned where EU members must become independent and able to stand on its own two feet and the Nordstream narrative was broadcast to provide cover of this obscure cooperation. Gas traders paying attention to pipeline flows were fully aware of Gazprom reducing and shutting gas flows which commenced in early July 2021, giving US LNG and Norwegian gas enough time to replace Russian gas in Yamal & NS pipelines (systemically critical infrastructure of the global economy—an orderly energy transition).
That article, which I skimmed pretty well, is 6&1/2 years old, and does point out the advantage to Germany of devaluation of the Euro, compared to the Deutschmark, through internal inconsistencies within the EU, beggaring Greece and Germany accepting the credits in increased exports from a devalued Euro, while propping up German and French banks through the fiction that what Goldman arranged for them in Greece was "Greece's fault".
I am not getting the picture you seem to have in mind, otherwise.
I do agree that Russian and US national interests should align well, but those are not usually the interests being served.
There are other ways things could happen with Nordstream with no cooperation between Russia and the US.
Overall, I expect all moves in this current epoch to reduce overall energy use and to impoverish peoples of western nations, whateer overt form they may take.
Your right, the old article doesn't get into the mechanics of competitive currency devaluation by lumping the PIGS into German productivity to manufacture an undervalued Euro at nearly the same time China was brought into the WTO.
US imports from the EU are double that of China imports from the EU. At this point in time, the US has the upper hand over Europe's industry, which makes sense why the US MIC is acting now. The US continues to support select German industry to run record trade surpluses, probably because the US needs the Industrialists to re-shore critical supply chains before an energy crisis materializes.
Western oligarchic structures have much work to do before they can implement any longer-term economic command structures that won't disrupt the liquidity feeding the overly imbalanced rent-seeking market.
My impression is that he was more curve-matching than anything, pointing out what happens with peak temps at the end of a glaciation period, and for whatever reason. I did actually watch and listen closely. The impression I got is that the methane going up as temps peak at the end of a glaciation period is both "effect", as warmer temps release more methane, and partly "cause", but he treats it more as a sign of the recurring event than anything else.
A lot of methane can leak from areas that are being fracked. You smell it, but it does not leak out through flaring. The flaring burns it. We see lots of big, bright flares driving between Yoakum and Austin, going through the Eagleford Shale. Where the shale comes to the surface around Luling, that's where you always smell methane and hydrogen sulfide. It just comes out of the ground, and they do illegally vent the oil wells on weekends when the inspectors don't come out.
I'm not sure how to quantify uncombusted methane release from various natural and human-induced sources. My lived experience around the Eagleford Shale is that most of it seeps up through the ground over a large area, but I don't know how that figures into global totals.
If abiotic oil is correct, and it seems logical to me, and a fair number of oil-geologists, then carbon compounds are pushing to the surface on an ongoing basis and finding volcanoes under the ocean and other vents to the surface.
Again, I am unable to verify or quantify what is going on.
You may have looked at this recently. I posted it last month:

Thank You, I hope that it may be of benefit to people who wonder how to make it through these times where they have become targets for attrition.
A thorough summary. Well done.

Thank You. I don't know of a bad rendition of "Amazing Grace".

We are in post-peak (late 2018) oil now...

Anaerobic bacteria abound in our colons, and in "gas gangrene" and "tetanus" infections.
Whether there is "virtue" in living with a lower burn-rate, I think the practice is useful as fuel availability is in long decline now.
