Good read with a handful of source links.

Quote:The food transition, the energy transition, net-zero ideology, programmable central bank digital currencies, the censorship of free speech and clampdowns on protest. What’s it all about? To understand these processes, we need to first locate what is essentially a social and economic reset within the context of a collapsing financial system.

Writer Ted Reece notes that the general rate of profit has trended downwards from an estimated 43% in the 1870s to 17% in the 2000s. By late 2019, many companies could not generate enough profit. Falling turnover, squeezed margins, limited cashflows and highly leveraged balance sheets were prevalent.

Professor Fabio Vighi of Cardiff University has described how closing down the global economy in early 2020 under the guise of fighting a supposedly new and novel pathogen allowed the US Federal Reserve to flood collapsing financial markets (COVID relief) with freshly printed money without causing hyperinflation. Lockdowns curtailed economic activity, thereby removing demand for the newly printed money (credit) in the physical economy and preventing ‘contagion’.

According to investigative journalist Michael Byrant, €1.5 trillion was needed to deal with the crisis in Europe alone. The financial collapse staring European central bankers in the face came to a head in 2019. The appearance of a ‘novel virus’ provided a convenient cover story.

The European Central Bank agreed to a €1.31 trillion bailout of banks followed by the EU agreeing to a €750 billion recovery fund for European states and corporations. This package of long-term, ultra-cheap credit to hundreds of banks was sold to the public as a necessary programme to cushion the impact of the pandemic on businesses and workers.

In response to a collapsing neoliberalism, we are now seeing the rollout of an authoritarian great reset — an agenda that intends to reshape the economy and change how we live.


Shift to authoritarianism

The new economy is to be dominated by a handful of tech giants, global conglomerates and e-commerce platforms, and new markets will also be created through the financialisation of nature, which is to be colonised, commodified and traded under the notion of protecting the environment.

In recent years, we have witnessed an overaccumulation of capital, and the creation of such markets will provide fresh investment opportunities (including dodgy carbon offsetting Ponzi schemes)  for the super-rich to park their wealth and prosper.

This great reset envisages a transformation of Western societies, resulting in permanent restrictions on fundamental liberties and mass surveillance. Being rolled out under the benign term of a ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’, the World Economic Forum (WEF) says the public will eventually ‘rent’ everything they require (remember the WEF video ‘you will own nothing and be happy’?): stripping the right of ownership under the guise of a ‘green economy’ and underpinned by the rhetoric of ‘sustainable consumption’ and ‘climate emergency’.

Climate alarmism and the mantra of sustainability are about promoting money-making schemes. But they also serve another purpose: social control.

Neoliberalism has run its course, resulting in the impoverishment of large sections of the population. But to dampen dissent and lower expectations, the levels of personal freedom we have been used to will not be tolerated. This means that the wider population will be subjected to the discipline of an emerging surveillance state.

To push back against any dissent, ordinary people are being told that they must sacrifice personal liberty in order to protect public health, societal security (those terrible Russians, Islamic extremists or that Sunak-designated bogeyman George Galloway) or the climate. Unlike in the old normal of neoliberalism, an ideological shift is occurring whereby personal freedoms are increasingly depicted as being dangerous because they run counter to the collective good.

The real reason for this ideological shift is to ensure that the masses get used to lower living standards and accept them. Consider, for instance, the Bank of England’s chief economist Huw Pill saying that people should ‘accept’ being poorer. And then there is Rob Kapito of the world’s biggest asset management firm BlackRock, who says that a “very entitled” generation must deal with scarcity for the first time in their lives.

At the same time, to muddy the waters, the message is that lower living standards are the result of the conflict in Ukraine and supply shocks that both the war and ‘the virus’ have caused.

The net-zero carbon emissions agenda will help legitimise lower living standards (reducing your carbon footprint) while reinforcing the notion that our rights must be sacrificed for the greater good. You will own nothing, not because the rich and their neoliberal agenda made you poor but because you will be instructed to stop being irresponsible and must act to protect the planet.

Net-zero agenda

But what of this shift towards net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and the plan to slash our carbon footprints? Is it even feasible or necessary?

Gordon Hughes, a former World Bank economist and current professor of economics at the University of Edinburgh, says in a new report that current UK and European net-zero policies will likely lead to further economic ruin.

Apparently, the only viable way to raise the cash for sufficient new capital expenditure (on wind and solar infrastructure) would be a two decades-long reduction in private consumption of up to 10 per cent. Such a shock has never occurred in the last century outside war; even then, never for more than a decade.

But this agenda will also cause serious environmental degradation. So says Andrew Nikiforuk in the article The Rising Chorus of Renewable Energy Skeptics, which outlines how the green techno-dream is vastly destructive.

He lists the devastating environmental impacts of an even more mineral-intensive system based on renewables and warns:

Quote:“The whole process of replacing a declining system with a more complex mining-based enterprise is now supposed to take place with a fragile banking system, dysfunctional democracies, broken supply chains, critical mineral shortages and hostile geopolitics.”

All of this assumes that global warming is real and anthropogenic. Not everyone agrees. In the article Global warming and the confrontation between the West and the rest of the world, journalist Thierry Meyssan argues that net zero is based on political ideology rather than science. But to state such things has become heresy in the Western countries and shouted down with accusations of ‘climate science denial’.

Regardless of such concerns, the march towards net zero continues, and key to this is the United Nations Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development Goals.

Today, almost every business or corporate report, website or brochure includes a multitude of references to ‘carbon footprints’, ‘sustainability’, ‘net zero’ or ‘climate neutrality’ and how a company or organisation intends to achieve its sustainability targets. Green profiling, green bonds and green investments go hand in hand with displaying ‘green’ credentials and ambitions wherever and whenever possible.

It seems anyone and everyone in business is planting their corporate flag on the summit of sustainability. Take Sainsbury’s, for instance. It is one of the ‘big six’ food retail supermarkets in the UK and has a vision for the future of food that it published in 2019.

Here’s a quote from it:

Quote:“Personalised Optimisation is a trend that could see people chipped and connected like never before. A significant step on from wearable tech used today, the advent of personal microchips and neural laces has the potential to see all of our genetic, health and situational data recorded, stored and analysed by algorithms which could work out exactly what we need to support us at a particular time in our life. Retailers, such as Sainsbury’s could play a critical role to support this, arranging delivery of the needed food within thirty minutes — perhaps by drone.”

Tracked, traced and chipped — for your own benefit. Corporations accessing all of our personal data, right down to our DNA. The report is littered with references to sustainability and the climate or environment, and it is difficult not to get the impression that it is written so as to leave the reader awestruck by the technological possibilities.

However, the promotion of a brave new world of technological innovation that has nothing to say about power — who determines policies that have led to massive inequalities, poverty, malnutrition, food insecurity and hunger and who is responsible for the degradation of the environment in the first place — is nothing new.

The essence of power is conveniently glossed over, not least because those behind the prevailing food regime are also shaping the techno-utopian fairytale where everyone lives happily ever after eating bugs and synthetic food while living in a digital panopticon.

Fake green

The type of ‘green’ agenda being pushed is a multi-trillion market opportunity for lining the pockets of rich investors and subsidy-sucking green infrastructure firms and also part of a strategy required to secure compliance required for the ‘new normal’.

It is, furthermore, a type of green that plans to cover much of the countryside with wind farms and solar panels with most farmers no longer farming. A recipe for food insecurity.

Those investing in the ‘green’ agenda care first and foremost about profit. The supremely influential BlackRock invests in the current food system that is responsible for polluted waterways, degraded soils, the displacement of smallholder farmers, a spiralling public health crisis, malnutrition and much more.

It also invests in healthcare — an industry that thrives on the illnesses and conditions created by eating the substandard food that the current system produces. Did Larry Fink, the top man at BlackRock, suddenly develop a conscience and become an environmentalist who cares about the planet and ordinary people? Of course not.

Any serious deliberations on the future of food would surely consider issues like food sovereignty, the role of agroecology and the strengthening of family farms — the backbone of current global food production.

The aforementioned article by Andrew Nikiforuk concludes that, if we are really serious about our impacts on the environment, we must scale back our needs and simplify society.

In terms of food, the solution rests on a low-input approach that strengthens rural communities and local markets and prioritises smallholder farms and small independent enterprises and retailers, localised democratic food systems and a concept of food sovereignty based on self-sufficiency, agroecological principles and regenerative agriculture.

It would involve facilitating the right to culturally appropriate food that is nutritionally dense due to diverse cropping patterns and free from toxic chemicals while ensuring local ownership and stewardship of common resources like land, water, soil and seeds.

That’s where genuine environmentalism and the future of food begins.

So, I won't go into great detail on this one myself but there is rumblings of "an event" happening. Judgement? Rapture? Lots of theories but it appears there is an expectation of something coming. If you want to go down the rabbit hole, just search for the topic on youtube.

Be ready and have your lamp oil stocked up just in case.

Tyson Foods is facing boycott calls for planning to hire 52,000 migrants to work at its factories after firing American Blue Collar Workers at other plants.

Tyson Foods Getting Ripped For Firing Americans and Hiring Illegals

https://www.allsides.com/news/2024-03-15...g-illegals

Quote:Tyson Foods is facing immense criticism after selling out the American people in order to hire illegal immigrants.

Just days after firing over 1,200 hard-working American employees after shutting down its Perry, Iowa pork facility, the popular food processing company announced that it has partnered with a nonprofit refugee group and will now hire thousands of migrants instead. 


TYSON FOODS FIRES AMERICANS FOR ILLEGALS

According to Bloomberg, Tyson Foods has created a database of tens of thousands of migrant workers that they plan to replace American workers with. They even recently had a job fair for them while Tyson's former workers in Perry, Iowa are jobless. 
If that wasn't enough - Tyson Foods has also set aside millions of dollars that will be used to pay the migrants' legal bills, as well as provide housing, on-site child care, transportation and even paid time off to attend court hearings! 
I'm sure the 1,200 workers that make up Perry's 8,000 population would have enjoyed those perks.


What we have here is another example where it's becoming more beneficial to be here illegally than as a U.S. citizen. Whether it's New York migrants receiving up to $15,000 prepaid debit cards per year (paid for by the American taxpayer) or repeatedly being protected from going to jail or even being arrested thanks to cities like New York, Chicago and Los Angeles's ‘Sanctuary city' laws - America's priorities seem backwards. 

In recent months, even liberal mayors like NYC's Mayor Eric Adams publicly came out and admitted that the current influx of illegals is unsustainable and that it would ‘destroy’ the city.  His words, not mine! 
Make no mistake about it, there is an underlying movement happening here that is both political and economic. There is now a concerted effort to overflow the system with migrants - so much so that they will have to be given eventual voting rights simply because there will be too many of them. Meanwhile, economically, thanks to policies like Tyson Foods, the middle class is being squeezed out.   At the same time, taxes are going up to subsidize the whole thing.
According to an Economic Policy Institute analysis, nearly 50% of America's labor market growth came from foreign-born workers between January 2023 and January 2024.

In response to Tyson's decision to sell out American jobs, the hashtag #BanTyson is trending across social media with many saying that they will not buy products from any of their brands. 

I stumbled across this Youtube channel called Nemo's Dreamscapes that has 5+ hour music vids (a few short one's) best described as ethereal, aesthetic, classy vintage, nostalgic, fantasyworld music from 20's, 30's, 40's and it sounds like it is coming from another room with relaxing rain and thunder sounds. Good for bedtime or just relaxing.

Quote:White supremacy was the number one domestic terrorist threat in America until it was toppled by parents at school board meetings, Catholics praying in front of abortion clinics, and now Christian nationalism. We've already seen from the Twitter files how heavy a thumb the federal government had on social media platforms like Twitter. But now the feds are going after sites frequented by gamers, who are the next domestic terrorist threat.

This "Disinformation Primer" from the GAO warns that "problematic information" regularly originates from networks of alternative sites and anonymous individuals who have created their own "alt-media" online spaces: Reddit, 4Chan, Discord, and "gaming sites." To users, these spaces "enable them to collaborate and validate their own interpretations of the world that differ from "mainstream" sources.

The government has become obsessed with "disinformation" to the point where it set up a Disinformation Governance Board. There's the accepted "mainstream" narrative, and then there are "interpretations of the world that differ from 'mainstream' sources."

This is what the government is monitoring: your gaming chat while you play Call of Duty.

I am of the opinion that a fact is a fact regardless of how you arrived at that conclusion and I am irritated at how "science" seems to have the final word on the facts.

The term "science" gets used all the time when people want to present solid facts, but facts stand alone without science needed to prop them up. Political propagandists love the terms "science" or "scientific" when trying to shut down debate with "the facts", but science is merely an investigative method, one of many.

Why is it that science must come around and place its stamp of approval on the facts that have always been facts long before people developed the scientific method? Common sense (not so common these days) has always known the simple fact that what goes up must come down, yet it took an apple to fall on Newton's head for "the science" to catch up with that fact.

Don't get me wrong, I believe that science is a good thing if properly used to determine facts, but I get pretty perturbed at people who use the word "science" as if that proves something without debate. It gets so loosely used all the time that unless something is verified by "the science" it is merely an opinion. If you produce some evidence that refutes a given "scientific fact" (remember that the word scientific is not that same as science itself), then your source is pseudo-science or worse racist.

So, while science is good it is too often used politically by way of "scientific facts", facts that were always facts but are now claimed as something science gave to us. It has gotten so bad that it has become a feature of our culture now and is used in common everyday language.

Sometimes we need to be reminded of how untrustworthy TPTB in government actually are.

There has been plenty of conspiracy talk about possible radiation damage from Cell phones; but, if you do not look for "something" you usually do not find "something!"

Quote:Federal agencies are cancelling research, differing significantly from Europe’s more precautionary approach to cellphones.

Decades of animal research point to serious health risks from cellphone radiation exposure, but examining a possible link stops now.
The National Toxicology Program (NTP), tasked with studying potential toxins, recently announced it would no longer investigate evidence that cellphone radiation can harm animals or people. The move stunned scientists like Devra Davis, a former senior adviser to the assistant secretary for Health in the Department of Health and Human Services, who called the abrupt reversal scientifically unjustified.
There’s “no scientific explanation or justification for this sudden reversal,” Ms. Davis told The Epoch Times.
Unpublished NTP Research Undermines Decision to Halt Cellphone Radiation Studies
The NTP recently claimed that additional radiofrequency radiation (RFR) studies are not planned, stating the research was “technically challenging and more resource-intensive than expected.”

Ms. Davis criticized this decision, noting that technical challenges are not a reason to avoid studying something that appears to cause cancer in animals. “Everything that we know for sure causes cancer in people will produce it in animals when adequately studied,” she added.
Despite admitting to developing a novel small-scale RFR exposure system in 2019 to clarify earlier findings, the NTP canceled further investigations. This system only studied older 2G and 3G devices, not newer 4G or 5G technologies.
Ms. Davis, a former NTP advisor, said she helped recommend smaller test chambers. The agency takes years to plan studies, so scrapping this project is “beyond my comprehension at this point,” given millions of children’s daily exposure, she noted.

In an emailed statement, the NTP confirmed that although work on the small-scale exposure system and accompanying research has been completed, the results will be publicly available and posted on the agency’s webpage only “when internal reviews are finished.” As of this writing, the 2019 research remains unpublished.
Court Finds FCC Illegally Ignored 5G Health Risks
The NTP published results in 2018 from two-year toxicology studies showing “clear evidence” of associations between 2G/3G cellphone radiation and tumors in male rats. Follow-up research in 2019 revealed DNA damage in the brains, livers, and blood cells of exposed rats and mice.
Despite originally requesting and overseeing these studies, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has since dismissed the NTP’s findings, Ms. Davis said.
In 2019, the Federal Communications Commission affirmed outdated 1996 radiation exposure standards for new 5G technologies, which did not even exist then. To justify this, the FDA anonymously produced an unreviewed document in 2020. The Environmental Health Trust (EHT) sued the FCC.
In 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled against the FCC. The court said the FCC acted improperly and illegally by keeping its 1996 wireless radiation exposure limits. The court found the FCC ignored evidence that radiation below its current limits can cause adverse health effects besides cancer, noting that the FCC also failed to respond to comments about the environmental harm caused by radiation.
The court ordered revised standards accounting for EHT’s records on risks to children and the environment.
FCC Let Carriers Abandon Landlines
Since 2019, France has mandated cellphones include warnings to keep such devices away from teens and pregnant women’s lower abdomens because of radiation risks. The European Union also funds extensive research on RFR hazards.
“So why are we ignoring animal study results showing harm?” Ms. Davis said. “There’s only one reason: because there’s so much money involved.”
Landlines offered an alternative to cellphones, but the FCC’s 2019 order let carriers abandon copper lines. Companies like Verizon have begun retiring landlines, leaving consumers with only wireless options.
People can still reduce RFR exposure by:

• Not carrying phones in pockets or bras
  
• Using speakerphone and holding phones away from the head/body
  
• Keeping devices away from reproductive organs
  
• Using wired over WiFi internet
  
• Not sleeping near phones
  

How people in America put up with this crap is beyond me ? The Hur testimony and the reason there was no conviction is because he knew he could not get a conviction in Washington D.C. in spite of all the blatant wrong doing... Biden was working on a 8 million dollar book deal so he needed the documents he unlawfully had in his possession to help with the book..  IMO if you are better off today than you were 4 years ago you must be an illegal alien with a government issued credit card !

Found this short presentation quite interesting. Especially the ancient Londinium "financial document" and the mystic esoteric cult of Mithra artifacts.

Quote:Join us on an immersive journey through the ancient streets of Roman London. We explore archaeological finds that offer glimpses into daily life, from deciphered wax tablets revealing trade dealings to artifacts like spearheads, arrowheads, and fragments of armor. London's Roman history traces back to around 50 AD, when a mercantile trading post was established on a gravel terrace above the river Thames. At the time, this area was a floodplain surrounded by thick woods. But this muddy valley would eventually become one of the greatest cities in the world.
