Previously Burned, Charles Hugh Smith sets the tone, as faith in institutions has been strip-mined for profit, and the cookie-jar is full of IOUs. Widespread trust in monetary transactions with strangers allowed modern industrial economy to become real.
I am hopping on my 1 speed today, for a 24 mile ride. 1 hour each way, but a nice route just for bikes, mostly. Wishing you and me, a safe ride. We are all Palestinians now, no matter where we are, eh?
Thanks Dr. John for this collection of articles about things that interest me. Sorry for this long comment.
My sympathy for the Gazans has been expanded to include the Houthis, who are actually trying to do something to stop the Gazan genocide by Israel. They are showing up everyone else.
I also appreciate the discussion of the ways in which the WEF is controlling the message to scientists and non-scientists with their ownership/control of medical journals and their recent targeting of “misinformation” and “disinformation” in favor of their preferred censorship — it would not do for the plebs to learn the truth, they might actually protest. And thank God that the WSJ and the NYT no longer “own” the news!
I can agree that all nations should withdraw from WHO. I made a timeline of key COVID events, I cannot find that WHO did us any favors. It squanders our money and tells us fairy stories.
And what in hell is a black swan event? I never heard that phrase until this last month. Somebody is trying to scare us. Oh gee, they’ve just spent the last 4 years scaring us. Yes, our financial system is FU. Is anyone in government planning to fix it? Or are they leaving it out there to scare us with.
It seems to me that if the HHS had to partner with the DOD in order to permit manufacturing pharmaceuticals, then we have a convoluted and money-wasting bureaucracy in place - one that should be replaced.
Oh goody! NATO is planning to go to war with Russia. Just what we needed.
Is anyone really surprised that Israel’s neighbors would develop trigger fingers? For how many years has Israel pissed off its Arab neighbors? Is it really odd that said neighbors might want to retaliate? And how like the USA to attempt to manipulate the “failed” Middle East states. Insults are our finest product.
What in hell is the European Union doing by agreeing to attack Yemen “to secure merchant shipping in the Red Sea”? Isn’t that what “military action” means?
Alastair Crooke explains why an authentic “two state solution” for the Palestinians is incompatible with Zionism. Fascinating! That is not a flattering assessment of Zionism, perhaps it should be retired.
I have to agree with you on “The fraud of Western powers is spectacularly exposed and has become untenable.” I for one do not want to be a citizen of a nation that practices global hegemony. I like the USA, I just am not into global domination. Do we really need to tell everybody else what to do?
Thank You, Susan. "Black Swan Event" means rare and unforeseen. All swans were long believed to be white, until there was a black swan. Rare, but real.
I think "the fraud of western powers..." quote is credited to me unfairly. I do a lot of cutting and pasting, but italicize what I cut and paste to mark it as what's down at the link.
I am glad that you are finding this useful. I seek to be of service to thinking people.

My bike is a fixie. It gives me more of a workout going uphill.

Big read John. I’m exhausted
You'll recover.
