US writer Michael Hudson has published many books on the fate of nations, especially due to economic and financial mismanagement, which is one of the principal causes of collapse. In a recent paper at Unz.com, he gives a detailed historical argument, going back to the falls of ancient Greece and Rome, documenting the role placed by debt-based economics and oligarchical control. America epitomises both of these ills, and thus is following in the path of ancient Rome, with inevitable collapse, especially as countries move away from subservience to the US dollar. However, Hudson seems to think that China is immune to these financial diseases, when in fact Chinese financial institutions are just as fragile as their Western counter-parts. In any case, more solid food for thought.

I am very pleased with the  results of a recent Yahoo/YouGov poll, which showed that Trump voters are in favour of secession, the breakup of America with a Great Divorce from the Democrat/Left. Around 33 percent of Trump voters in red states said that they would personally fare better if their state “became an independent country;” 29 percent who believed that they would be “worse off” after secession and the remaining 38 percent were either unsure or saw themselves faring “about the same” in a newly independent state. It is early days yet, and no doubt after the next round of electoral fraud, the numbers supporting secession will grow. It is a pity that the wheels turn so quickly, but it is what it is.

I am paying close attention to statements being made by Russia that may indicate an escalation of the Ukraine war into a larger, open NATO vs Russia war. Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has a few days ago, turned up the heat: “After provoking an escalation of the Ukrainian crisis and unleashing a violent hybrid confrontation with Russia, Washington and its allies are dangerously teetering on the brink of an open military confrontation with our country, which means a direct armed conflict between nuclear powers. Clearly, such a confrontation would be fraught with nuclear escalation.” I do not think that this is all just nuclear bluff, since as nuclear war expert Dr Peter Pry has pointed out, Russia does not have any more the Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) doctrine as part of its strategy, but instead believes that with its nuclear superiority, a nuclear war is winnable. It may also launch a limited number of nukes to escalate to de-escalate, to show that it means business. See where this is going to?

This sort of pointless woke research that wastes taxpayers’ money, no doubt goes on right throughout the university system of the West. Much work in the Humanities and Social Sciences, so called, is now geared around politically correct themes, that serves the purpose of justification of the present multicult regime. Thus, the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) granted New York University (NYU) over $40,000 to conduct a three-year research project on why children “favour Whiteness and maleness over other identities.” Does this research even need to be done, since it is pretty clear that the results are going to confirm the leading question, which states that it is a fact that children favour whiteness and maleness; initial questions set the agenda of research. And is it? In the age of the gender agenda, that is surely an open question. It may be a case of garbage in, garbage out.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), is the principal government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S., but has an under-reporting factor between 41 and 100, according to various authorities. New data shows a total of 1,341,608 reports of adverse events following Covid-19 vaccines were submitted between December 14, 2020, and July 8, 2022. The data included a total of 29,460 reports of deaths — an increase of 187 over last week — and 243,466 serious injuries, including deaths, during the same time period — an increase of 1,566 compared with last week. Of the 29,460 reported deaths, 19,066 cases are attributed to Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine, 7,770 cases to Moderna and 2,563 cases to Johnson & Johnson (J&J). The numbers go up steadily each week with no end in sight.

I have been saying for some time that the masks are ineffective protection against Covid, well-supported by evidence summarised in numerous articles at the blog, and by a research bibliography published by he Brownstone Institute, that we re-published a few weeks ago. However, beyond all of this, masks have come to serve a social psychological purpose, of distinguishing at sight the in-group of the Covid cult, from the out-group of Covid vax dissents. Of course, that has broken down now with the mask mandate being dropped, no doubt to be put in place again at the drop of a hat, as seems to be unfolding in New Zealand now. As well, there has been psychological research from Japan that indicates that people come to be dependent upon masks, and continue to wear masks because of anxiety. There has, indeed, been no shortage of anxiety associated with the Covid plandemic.

Apparently, the public only gets to see some of the bloopers made by President Joe Biden on a good day, as a team of aids work tirelessly on damage control. Speeches are limited, as old Joe is having problems with the teleprompter now, even reading out the stage directions. Still, he can still read, which is something. Even The New York Times, as summarised below is starting to get worried about their golden boy. We should recall that the Left wanted to use the 25^th Amendment against Donald Trump, who looks like a Sir Isaac Newton compared to Biden.

Steve Kirsch has developed an analysis published by the Covid critical site, Expose. Either the UK Covid vax stats are “garbage,” or the vaccines for ages 10 to 14 need to be stopped immediately. First, Kirsch points out a statistical/mathematical problem in the data: “We see that the all-cause mortality (ACM) rate for ages 20-24 is reduced by a factor of 2 (compare G21 vs. G28). That’s impossible! The vaccine isn’t a fountain of youth. It is only claimed to reduce death from COVID, not eliminate deaths from all known diseases.

According to the unvaccinated Row 21, only (43/378) = 8.3% of the deaths are from COVID. So, if you have a PERFECT vaccine, ACM can only go down by 8.3%. It cannot go down by 50%.” Hence it is most likely that here is a problem with the data set, and the data is flawed.

If this was not so deadly, one could imagine a children’s cartoon being made of it, as lonely warships follow each other. But this is communist China in the real world, and that means using military might for intimidation. The Minister for Defence, and Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles, did not elaborate on the report that HMAS Parramatta was shadowed by a Type 052C “Luyang II” guided-missile destroyer and a Type 093-A “Shang II” nuclear-powered attack submarine, in international waters on its way to perform military exercises with the Japanese navy. Pretty obviously the message here was we could sink your totally dated war ship any time we like. And, it is probably true, too.

A Harvard Law School instructor has tweeted that the conservative Supreme Court Justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that legalized abortion on demand in the U.S. “should never know peace again. “It is our civic duty to accost them every time they are in public. They are pariahs. Since women don't have their rights, these justices should never have a peaceful moment in public again.” This story, ironically broke at the same time that socialist Democrat AOC, was complaining about harassment as a comedian had trolled her on the steps of the Capitol Building, saying in jest that she was sexy and had a big “booty” even though she supports abortion. So, why isn’t the recommendation to accost the conservative justices in public, not intimidation and harassment? Well, it is, and recommending it is incitement to harassment.

Elon Musk, who has just had his 10^th child born, is attempting to wiggle out of the proposed Twitter sale, on the grounds of undisclosed bots everywhere, something one would have thought would have been checked out in the early stages, but it is probably 4 D chess, maybe to lower the share price of twitter and get a better deal, I don’t know. But I do know that there is a pattern with Elon. He embraced Bitcoin, then said that it was no good, leading to a fall. Elon seemed to support Trump, but then said that Trump needs to go. Trump called him out as a bs artist. Indeed, the finest there is in the corporate rest room!

While there is a lot of bad news out there today that wee need to confront, let us start the ball rolling with some good news. We all know that France’s President Emmanuel Macron's ruling party lost its majority in elections last month. Now the true worth of having an independent voice in  parliament is being shown. The French National Assembly rejected Macron’s  proposal  to give the government powers to demand travellers show proof of vaccination or a negative Covid-19 test when entering France, a covid passport.

The pieces of the grand gothic picture of evil need to be put together so we can see the full agenda. As noted by Dr Mercola, the Green agenda is being used to shutdown conventional agricultural resources so that insect protein is put before the Populus, with only the rich being able to eat  normal meats. The fuel and energy crisis, also artificially produced by the globalist elites, serves the same purpose, to deprive the ordinary people of the use of cars, unless they can somehow afford, at a time when most of us can barely make it from week to week, an electric car. It has never been shown how the energy grid will cope with everyone, hypothetically, having an electric car, and with sky rocketing electric prices, it is clear that the ordinary person will have to take public transport or walk. Yet, cities have been built around the car, and doing activities such as shopping will become extremely difficult and time consuming. But, as outlined by Daniel Greenfield, that is the grand plan. For ordinary  people, as part of the Great Cancellation, the final act of the globalist tragicomedy, is the end of cars.

With the Covid vax cult being the dominant religion of the present Leftist regimes, and but one plank of the Great Reset New World Order, it is amazing to see a celebrity stand up to this tyranny. World number one tennis great,  Novak Djokovic, has said: “I’m not vaccinated and I’m not planning to get vaccinated,” Djokovic said at the Wimbledon Championship, “so the only good news I can have is them removing the mandate green vaccine card — or whatever you call it to enter the United States — or exemption.” Australia’s Covid elite were shown up by Djokovic, to be jokes really. Now the US is showing its absurdity worrying about a low-risk individual like Djokovic, while trillions of illegals, future Democrat voters in the great socialist welfare state, pour through an open southern border. The US fights to protect the Ukraine’s border, so to speak, to the tune of untold billions, but leaves its own back gate open, deliberate of course, since the potential voters coming in will help ensure ongoing Democrat dictatorship. If this is not a grand conspiracy, I will eat a dozen syringes of Covid vax goo, so long as sugar can be put on top!

While one could spend a lot of money shopping on-line for prepping books, there are some good introductory sources, such as those offered for free by Mike Adams at Natural News.com and his associated news blogs. Dr Mercola has also addressed this personal prepping issue, and it is something that we hope you all deal with, since we have seen what happens with the lockdowns, and indications are things will get worse, either through a new round of lockdowns, and/or resource shortages. But, no need to panic, simply start stockpiling extra items at each shop. This is probably the only way to go now for most of us, with inflation eating away at our meagre financial resources.

The present situation in the Netherlands, perhaps more important to European food resources than even the Ukraine, needs to be seen in the context of what is as multi-faced attack upon food resources, under in the guise of saving the environment, something which has to be done as a matter of life or death. The Netherlands, for example, intends to halve its nitrogen and ammonia pollution by 2030, which will require reducing the number of livestock by 30 percent, and perhaps more. Many farmers will be driven out of business, their farms bought up by members of the Great Reset, globalist super-capitalists, as we are seeing Bill Gates do in the US with his congoing acquisition of masses of prime farm land. You can be sure he is not engaging in such buy ups to produce cheap food for the poor and homeless of America. Indeed, these elites are heavily investing in artificial meat, lab produced pseudo-food, and it is clear that people will only eat this mess, or even worse, insect protein, if meat is scarce. That is the agenda, as I see it behind this. Thus, it is no coincidence that food processing plants are being burnt down across the US and Europe.

It is fair to say, that for countries with a written constitution, including both Australia and the US, most people love it, or at least respect it. That is, those who are not on the Left. For the Left, as seen with the radical wings various indigenous movements, the constitution represents genocide, since the settlers are defined as conquerors, and hence all that they have by way of symbols and culture must be deconstructed by the Leftist rainbow knights. Hence, the Left/diverse attacks upon both the 4^th of July and Australia Day, and the drive to change the Australian constitution to give an “Aboriginal voice,” actually to soon become a third chamber of parliament, championed by the Left and multicults, who see this as increasing their power. It is unlikely anything will be done to improve the plight of outback indigenous people, while the urban white elites prosper. This all needs to be seen as part of the ongoing cultural war, which has taken a backstep during the Covid plandemic, but it still grows like all cultural pandemics.

It is like DDT before it, as Monsanto’s glyphosate has come to  be sprayed as much, due trod the fact that it complements the genetically modified crops that can survive glyphosate, while the weeds die. Consequently so much of this chemical has penetrated the food supply, and thus into humans, that according to one study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention program, this weedkiller, linked to cancer has been found in 80 percent of the urine samples of children and adults. Glyphosate is an active chemical in the weedkiller, Bayer’s Roundup, widely used in agriculture, including home gardens. “Bayer was subjected to pay $10.9 billion in 2020 to settle thousands of US lawsuits claiming Roundup causes cancer. At the time, Bayer had come to terms with about 75 percent of the 125,000 filed and unfiled claims. Under the agreement, the company agreed to pay $8.8 billion to $9.6 billion to resolve the litigation, including an allowance to cover unresolved claims. Bayer’s further agreed to pay $1.25 billion for future litigation.”

It makes one concerned, especially for children, how much toxic chemicals they are going to absorb over their lifetimes, however long that may be.

Adam Van Buskirk, “Collapse Won’t Reset Society,” argues with two examples, the Black Death in Europe and the collapse of Nazi Germany, that social collapse is not as devastating as collapse theorists think. My point here is not to argue against that, which I think is dead wrong, and that his examples are simply not cases of the sort of collapse seen in say the fall of ancient Rome and Easter Island. Rather, what is interesting is that Van Buskirk shows that during the time of the Black Death English society did not lockdown, courts still operated, with some closures, and universities remained open. And the Black Death was, unlike Covid, a real plague. There was obviously no Great Reset agenda operating then!

What does one make of the recent public service announcement from New York, that offers advice on what to do in the event of a nuclear strike? The video by a trendy young lady says to basically take shelter, keep away from windows and wait for the authorities to come save you. Mike Adams takes this apart, which is not hard to do, since all the structure for support appealed to in the video may have been nuked. What is odd is that the authorities put out this modern day “duck and cover” video, so they are expecting it. But, it won’t do any good.
