Putin's comments on the developing situation are stunning and clear. From the releases I have read since February '22, the actions and words appear utterly consistent with Facts that can be obtained elsewhere. The NATO side has done nothing but push as hard as possible AWAY from any peaceful settlement and has done nothing other than escalate conflict as much as possible.

Until this week, when the NS pipeline was intentionally destroyed, mainly Russia and people inside Ukraine were the victims of all this. The destruction of the pipeline took away Germany's option to abandon NATO and cut a deal with Russia. Clearly, the US does not want a peaceful settlement, and those behind these actions are perfectly willing to add Germans to the list of victiims.

I would love to see Germany offer to repair the pipeline...

Pipelines are jugular veins and arteries of our current life support system.

This is prelude to mass murder of innocents.

In a dark time, the eye begins to see,

I meet my shadow in the deepening shade;

I hear my echo in the echoing wood--

A lord of nature weeping to a tree.

I live between the heron and the wren,

Beasts of the hill and serpents of the den.

What's madness but nobility of soul

At odds with circumstance? The day's on fire!

I know the purity of pure despair,

My shadow pinned against a sweating wall.

That place among the rocks--is it a cave,

Or a winding path? The edge is what I have.

A steady storm of correspondences!

A night flowing with birds, a ragged moon,

And in broad day the midnight come again!

A man goes far to find out what he is--

Death of the self in a long, tearless night,

All natural shapes blazing unnatural light.

Dark, dark my light, and darker my desire.

My soul, like some heat-maddened summer fly,

Keeps buzzing at the sill. Which I is I?

A fallen man, I climb out of my fear.

The mind enters itself, and God the mind,

And one is One, free in the tearing wind.

Nice passage, but we do all make allowances for our own "madness", do we not?

We do. And there is civilization and not culture. A paradox for we who permit madness. Until recently, say WW1, madness was tightly controlled. I will not go into the concept of neurosis, however it is safe to assert many

repressed insanity as much as possible. In my opinion, despite the insanity of the "Banquet Years" for Europe and the Gilded Age for the states, (insanity for us found in the War Prayer by Twain during the conquest of the Phillipines,)o there was a stigma associated with mass murder. Denial and obfuscation of massacre was important for domestic consumption. By the end of WW2 45 years into Century 20 insanity was amusing and old hat. in 2022 with jests about atomic war we obviously are "over the top. Why or better where are our protests? Once we Levitated the Pentagon. Today who bothers? Making allowances for Macht Politik after 1945 is insane. Many alive today in the West cannot or will not reason about Macht Politik. And here we are. Covid entirely fraud but murder and injury by "vaccine"rather real. The power elite make allowances for their insanity by taking mass murder for granted and coupled to this is zero interest in preventing harm. Imagine anyone for the last 2.5 years asked after knowing otherwise by their skill to take for granted doing harm have them a good life, a highly reputable person like Fauci earning around 13 million for murder making allowances for insanity.

May peaceful means prevail.

Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you for the reports! Just this morning it came to me that this situation reminds me more of Caligula and other mad emperors of Rome era more than the preparation times for world wars. How does one oppose madness? The only way I know is to walk away

It does not look like an easy task to create a functioning military anywhere. Ukraine has to prevent draft age men from leaving the country. And they are supposed to be the most enthusiastic about this whole mess. The madness that has already crept everywhere makes it so that even half-normal people just do not want to participate.

The pipeline cut pretty much sealed the winter electricity brown- and even blackouts here in europe. This will keep normal peeps busy trying to save the water pipes or finding some way to keep warm for city-dwellers. And what advertisement I keep getting on youtube? An EU-we-are in this together-solving climate change-jingle. So they know normal peeps are done with EU and have some serious real-world issues. Only thoroughly mad people would think this could be influenced by pep-talk on a sideshow issue. Compared to this the more lebensraum story was at least feasible. I guess it is chickens coming home to roost-time for europe, at long last. What you done to others and all that.

Thanks Kristina,

It would do all of us good to get your viewpoint as this progresses.

Sleeping bags and warm-layers of clothing are good investments. I know you have these, but you might wear them more than usual.

Please do update us.

I will! I've always loved wool underwear, old houses with masonry stoves and making things myself. Always seen it as a bit embarrassing kind of freakness, but now starting to feel a funny warm current of smugness about it. Nobody is freaking out, yet, but the heating season has not started in earnest either.

I'm embarrassed to note that there are 3 "i"s in Kristiina.

My "i"s are not as good as they used to be.

I have wool sweater and tights for bicycling, which are excellent.

I know what you mean.

Putin is a real leader. He is protecting his turf from American/EU aggression. The democrats/leftists desperately want a nuclear war with Russia to detract attention from their putrid agenda of destroying the country, which is failing. They (WEF, elites) want the great reset and want to blame it all on Russia. Forget the media...they are in the leftist tank of slime.

The kitchen looks highly functional with plenty of room to get things done.

Thanks, it's a real 2-cook kitchen, the core of the house.

Putin deeply desires to be a historically good leader for Russia, I think. He is unusually talented. He is not perfect and has no charisma, etc.

Has WWx just been announced, or has it been going on for a few years now, already, and we're just not accustomed to this form of warfare where most people don't know what's going on, yet?

It’s wonderful to see your and Jenny‘s progress on your house. It gives me hope that some extremely smart and industrious people will make it through these uncertain times. Would love to hear from you.

Hi Julia,

Do check for my emails in trash and spam. Gmail will do that, and from either end, I think.

Dr John I found this man by tracing a link in Ugo Bardi's Holobiont blog. It is pretty far out but would you check it for us please. His page: https://www.youtube.com/c/laowhy86/featured

Hi Mary, I looked briefly at those videos, but I don't watch videos. I have no time. Printed words, well organized, save time and are easy to reference.

The idea of gene-specific bioweapons is nothing new. It is and has long been a specific objective of all of the bioweapons labs in the world. Killing or sickening of selective populations with a forest-fire type weapon that spreads everywhere once it starts provides "targeting".

This is what the US has long done, trying to target Asian (China and others) and Slavic gene-pools.

This is exactly what Russia alleges the US was doing with something like 30 bioweapons labs in Ukraine, and I have no reason to doubt it. Why would they not work on targeting the differences one finds in an "enemy population".

China, Canada and the US were as deeply cooperative as could be in the Coronavirus research until COVID got out. I presume the "practical" Chinese government has funded gene-specific differences in bioweapons. SARS-CoV2 initially targeted human ACE-2 receptors on cell surfaces.

There are some genetic differences in those receptors, especially between men and woman; and children have fewer of them.

It only stands to reason that all national "bio-defense" labs are looking at differences in "races" that might be targeted by an enemy, and when they find them, well, they would see what the enemy-weapon might actually be, so as to defend against it.

They would then have that "weapon", but only as a tool to develop defenses, as they would tell us.

Chinese, as a national group, are pretty aware of "race". They know how to discuss it obliquely. Any intelligent person learns to discuss "race" obliquely, right?

Thank you for your kind words, and for noticing the prepping, not just analysis.

Jenny is my wife of 37 years. Sometimes one of our adult kids might make it into a picture, or our granddaughter, like last week.
