DFT – Russia Benefits From Growing Gold Reserves

DFT – German Housing Is Collapsing

DFT – China Decoupling Not An Option – EU Trade Chief

DFT – US Corporate Bankruptcies About To Hit 13 Year High

DFT – Ukraine’s GDP Jumps Sharply Their GDP is up sharply anon. In the report, the Hooker sector, the Child-organ-supply sector, and the Homosexual Comedian sector are booming, just overflowing with income, as is the Cocaine sector, and the Body-Bag and Funeral Services sector. Of course all of it is being led by the Grift from the West sector. There was a decline in the big-titted male tranny sector however.

Another anon commented on the traffic, but it got transferred to trash in the last couple of days, where I had to pull it out. Reposting just so people understand how prevalent this is in America, and how some of us enjoy real fun on our highway drives, as random Americans we have never seen before turn into Agent Smith all around us, with the sole goal of fucking with us:

I love in a smallish metropolitan area on the east coast, with one major two-lane highway leading in and out of town, which I use to commute to work. I am often subject to what I’ve come to recognize as harassment from my surveillance apparatus, with the intent of amygdala hijack so that I arrive home and am mean to my family. Or, I am crazy, and America is full of rude jerks. Maybe all three.

As I would like to get home as quickly as possible without getting pulled over, I am often forced into the fast lane where, on days where they’re harassing, I end up having to go much faster than I’d like to go, with units driving aggressively behind me, and using a temporary merging lane to pass me on the right and cut me off (using the small reactionary gap in front of me), which sets me off (I suppose anybody paying attention while driving would be set off, seeing that I was keeping the pace in the fast lane, and it is insulting to be passed on the right in that situation). I almost always encounter them later when traffic has thinned out, driving slow in the fast lane, where I either pass them on the right (sometimes they play glownigger games and speed up so that I have to drive ridicously fast to get around them, but not always) or follow.

If, on those days, I decide I’m just gonna go slow and stay in the right lane, traffic will slow to sometimes 20 mph under the speed limit, and I can’t do that, I just can’t, so I get in the fast lane and play the game. It amazed me before I realized what’s happening that people ostensibly commuting home at 5pm are in absolutely no rush to the extent they would drive 10-20 mph slower than the speed limit. I could understand if they were 107 years old or something, but these people are usually middle aged and driving the same Subarus and other crossover SUVs that vehicle surveillance uses (in my experience). I am being herded into the fast lane so I can be screwed with.

I just wanted to chime in on this to aid others in the pattern recognition, so that hopefully others can use logic to put down the animal brain that gets triggered and logically keep oneself in a controlled state of mind, so that they don’t get home and be a bear to their dear family.

Would-be RFK Jr. assassin already out on bond.

From the comments, a link which had been thrown into trash, which I had to pull out – a dump on “Boneface” the neonazi government informant who was at a rally in Florida. Notice, these are all criminals, who the cops cannot touch, who are a genuine menace to everyone. Innocent guys who just happen to be around him end up beaten unconscious for no reason. But he is out there floating around because he is in the network. You look at this guy, and the people this organization was running in Kenosha against Kyle, and you can see, this is a criminal conspiracy of the first order. It is interesting to think, the itinerant amateur porn star who fired his Glock in the air at Kenosha, the crazy Pedo who almost killed Kyle, the skateboarder who caught a 5.56 to the chest, Gaige Grosskreutz who was rolling with his 9mm and nearly got Kyle, Boneface, they would all have a sort of camaraderie, all being in the network. And there are a lot of them out there. Also interesting is this guy was constructing a Memorex connection between Ukraine and Nazis. Ukraine wants that meme out there, to hide something.

The San Francisco government is knowingly and deliberately allowing a major fencing operation to buy and sell stolen goods just one-and-a-half blocks from a police station. A situation like Portland, and the Police have been barred from taking down the criminals. Cabal is tight on funds, and either cannot afford to pay the massively expanding domestic network, or is not willing to take the risk of exposure necessary to move the funding to them. But what Cabal can do is use government authority to prevent local PD from enforcing the law, and allow the ground assets to simply take what they want. So they have told their ground assets that they can pay themselves by just stealing what they want, and Cabal will make sure they get their money, and the Police leave them alone. This is now a Civil War between two factions. The only thing about it is, one side has no idea it is being waged, or that they even have an enemy. We should do something about that.

Not entirely new, but made me think:

These pretty teachers, sleeping with students, has always felt weird. Girls want power, authority, manliness, guys their girlfriends will be jealous of them having. A 12 or 13 year old pimply, skinny kid, for these pretty girls, it feels off. At least in a nation where we are all individuals, finding our own way. But suppose I told you the honeypot is one of the most powerful, and most often employed techniques in intelligence, and there are lots of females raised in intelligence families, for which it is a normal operational technique to bang a target, any target, and they are not bound by taboos? What if I said, US domestic intelligence, has an entire national division, which runs intelligence operations  in the schools, has a dedicated unit in each and every school made up of adults who are watching every child, devoted entirely to knowing, building files on, and controlling the development of children. It is deciding who will succeed and who will not, and intervening, even using child spies embedded in the school, who are the children of parents who are civilian informants themselves, to intervene in the development of children? What if I said one established technique we know it uses frequently, is the covert provision of pornography to students it wants to alter the path of, by exposing them to sexual stimuli? What if I said there are many female teachers in these schools, who are domestic intel agents, covert spies, and they will do as command tells them? If all of that is true, on a national level, millions of students, hundreds of thousands of teacher-spies, and intel is in the schools targeting kids, it uses sex to derail them, and it owns female teachers, might the proliferation of these cases, and the intel op reaching some sort of apogee, be related? I do not know exact statistics and cannot judge probabilities, but it seems they might be related.

A Fairfield father says that a federally funded health clinic operating within Lawrence High School provided his minor daughter with a baggy of pills of the prescription anti-depressant Zoloft without his knowledge or consent. Intelligence is operating in the schools to control what kids succeed and can rise in society. And those adult intel operators running those ops, will have their own kids in the school, in competition with the other kids whose futures they are trying to suppress – competition for valedictorian, college admissions, positions on teams and squads. It is a Civil War already. An unknown, shadow Civil War in which only one side is fighting, as the other has no idea it is going on. But it may come into the light in the near future, and I will bet the other side will decide to fight, once it knows.

Anthony Fauci was the highest paid government employee ever because he volunteered to oversee our bioweapon’s program development of new bioweapons in Ukraine, despite the risk of committing a death penalty offense under the Geneva Convention. Interesting explanation by RFK Jr. One thing which hits me. the switch to mRNA vaxxes might be related to this massive push into biowarfare. I do not know exactly how, but there would seem to be a few possible ways which jump out at me to use mRNA in biowarfare, just up front. mRNA production of cell surface proteins might have some role in mediating the infectiousness of a virus. If we could transition the globe to mRNA vaccines, it would open a security hole in every nation’s biosecurity. Suppose we wanted to kill Russians with a targeted bioweapon. If they are using mRNA vaccines, we can use traditional intelligence techniques to swap a sequence at the manufacturer, and get them to unwittingly give their people an mRNA vax which causes the production of a specific protein, which will turn into a cell surface protein ligand. Now their people are the only ones in the world with this protein on the surface of a large number of their cells, especially in the liver. Now modify a normal flu vaccine to dock better on cells with that cell surface receptor, and while not every cell will express that protein, enough probably will to give the virus a faster head start in their people, allowing it to get ahead of their immune system, and probably specifically target the liver. And then there are the ways mRNA vaxxes alter immunity, by acclimating the immune system to certain proteins. If you could get an agent in the vax manufacturer, you could swap in the sequence of a cell surface protein on, say, an adenovirus, and now in a few years, Russians will have immune systems which shut down when they see a virus, thinking it is a part of their own body, and a cold virus which does nothing to us, will kill all of them, because their immune system will not fight it. That is just what I see in two minutes of looking at it casually as a non-specialist in immunology. A specialist with years to look at it, and a detailed understanding of the finest points of the molecular biology of immunology, they could see a hundred different ways, probably far more brilliant. I don’t know, but it is interesting Fauci was so tied into our bioweapons programs, and he was so integral to, and dead set on, pushing mRNA vaxxes. They actually took the pandemic all from CDC and put it under him. There is something ominous there.

Joe Biden receives new COVID-19 vaccine and flu shot. I am so relieved, and happy! A little disappointed he did not get the RSV, Diptheria, and HPV at the same time though. Seems a little Vax-phobic.

NYC man, 76, washing his car pummeled by armed thieves before getting his ride stolen: NYPD.

The East Village has gone south. Residents and retailers in the liberal Manhattan bastion are fed up with its ever-growing population of unhinged vagrants, random street crime — and the city’s laissez-faire attitude toward both. Remember back when politicians acted like they were worried about what the people thought of them, and they were afraid if they didn’t please the people, they would not get re-elected? Now, they do not even pretend they have to worry about an election. The streets are covered in shit, homeless drug addicts are stoned and wandering around everywhere, stores are closing because of the rampant shoplifting, crime is off the hooks and their response is to eliminate bail and get more criminals on the street. They are not even pretending there are elections. The nation was taken over, and we no longer elect leaders.

The New York Police Department (NYPD) is implementing a new security measure at the Times Square subway station. It’s deploying a security robot to patrol the premises, which authorities say is meant to “keep you safe.” I will bet NYPD is not allowed in there under some flag surveillance has put over the area, kicking them out. The robot is the only way they can get any eyes in there. I think local PDs know something weird is out there, but they do not really understand what it is, or how big it is, or how bad. Hard to think NYPD would see almost 71 cops killed on 9/11 and another 241 dying of illnesses from working the pile, let alone Miosotis Familia’s story,  and not declare war on the surveillance. Cop story a friend once told me – a cop from one large department patrolled his area of operations, which took him through a smaller village department’s jurisdiction. A Village PD cruiser actually pulled him over for speeding in the village, and ticketed him. He mentioned it to his Lieutenant, and the Lieutenant, knowing there was no gas station in the Village boundaries, knew of one which was close to the border. The next day, he hopped in a marked unit with one of his patrol guys, and cruised out and set up on the road leading from the village to the gas station. They caught a village cruiser traveling to get gas there, pulled it over for an hour and wrote it like 20 tickets while they made the cops sit inside, for just asinine shit. Cops have loyalty, and do not like their people being fucked with. If NYPD knew the truth, I think every surveillance unit would have a target on its back, and making ticket quotas would not be so onerous for patrol, nor would they feel bad about it. But somehow they have kept the cops in the dark, and for now, local PD is helpless to reign in the destruction of the nation.

Daughters of the American Revolution causes revolt by allowing transgender members. You can see, how if this organization is not running with a dedicated counter-intelligence element, it is, no doubt, going to get infiltrated, taken over, and subverted. You live in a nation with the enemy all around you. You have to act like it, and try to keep them out.

NASA appears to be jerking around Congress on UFOs, sending people with no knowledge of it into hears to tell congress they have no knowledge of it.

Truth:

But I would also politely say you should arm up. Kyle Rittenhouse is alive because when the evil this thing employs came for him, he could blow smoke, and a lot of it, and do it well. By 2024, there will probably 10-15 million illegals that just came in, and maybe 20-30 million who ere already in. Within that will be a large number of MS-13, Salvadoran Pride, Cartel Sicarios, Haitian gang members, and petty criminals like you saw in Kenosha, drawn from all over the world. I don’t think they were brought here to peacefully protest for liberal values. My guess is if Trump wins, within 24 hours you will see action starting, and it will signal a Civil War beginning, where the other side will be mostly foreign direct action forces that are being imported now for that day.

And at any time before then, it could be revealed to the nation that people all over the country have some sort of foreign intel force targeting them and their kids, even in the schools, and watching them inside their houses, in which case things will kick off early. It will not just be that they do not want to give up the domestic surveillance op – they cannot give up that op. Because if it is revealed, they cannot face what would come after. They will prefer war to preserve it, compared to its removal and exposure, and facing what the nation will demand be inflicted on them, which will basically be the law for treason against America. At the end of the day, Kyle Rittenhouse’s event was an attempt by a foreign direct action force recruited in America to assassinate an innocent American kid, to serve a foreign interest’s desire to overthrows our elections. The people who tried to kill Kyle, were a covert force of direct action foreign agents put together in America to kill Americans in hopes of subverting our elections for a foreign power. An unbiased view, I think, will call that treason. I do not see how anyone attached to that escapes it, because they all knew on Sept 12th, 2001 what they were serving.

Bill Clinton, Mobileye co-founder launch $1 billion climate fund to invest in green companies. The Clinton Money Machine is back in business, apparently. Notice, being plugged into Cabal, Clinton can pull strings to get these companies Tesla-type funding from government, so the companies, which will be getting government money, will see their stock prices rise, and they can then even contribute some of the funding to the Clinton Global Initiative for charity purposes.

Disney fired hundreds of employees in China earlier this year, days before CEO Bob Iger was scheduled to meet with Rep. Mike Gallagher (R., Wis.), chairman of the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party. Sounds like maybe an American company might get a lucrative partnership with China, and the unspoken arrangement could be giving the CCP intel access to all the data the company has on its American customers, by opening a Chinese office and hiring local Chinese who can then “steal” the customer files. We may all have pretty good files in the CCP archives, depending on what services and apps we have made use of.

A state of emergency has been declared in Eagle Pass, Texas where thousands of illegal aliens have been crossing the border since the weekend after members of the Biden administration cut up lines of razor wire that had kept the illegals out of the country. They felt it was too hot to leave the migrants on the other side of the razor wire, so they cut it all open to let them into the country.

And if they are off the books on the work, they will probably have no taxes coming out of that, and I will bet the government aid is not taxed either. That is almost 130K per year with no overhead and after taxes. Work hard anon, those grades are what will determine if you are able to make lots of money.

Trudeau pledges $650 million more in military aid to Ukraine.

Volodymyr Zelensky has been told that he must not insult Poland amid a growing spat between the countries, which one expert told Newsweek is being driven by the upcoming Polish election.

I cannot find the RIA Novosti article on this, though given how pozzed Google is, that is not unusual, and Russian MOD has yet to release evidence, which you would assume they would, so this is unconfirmed at this point. However this appears a genuine Sputnik news site, which is probably almost as reliable, reporting the rumor so far:

Scouts of the Russian Armed Forces destroyed a Leopard tank transferred to Ukraine with an entirely German crew consisting of military personnel of the German Armed Forces, a commander of a reconnaissance group operating in the Zaporozhye direction told Sputnik.

“The mechanic of the tank was seriously wounded, and the rest were killed. […] When he woke up and saw us, he began shouting ‘nicht schießen’ [no shooting],” the group commander said, adding: “He said several times that he was not a mercenary, but a soldier of the Bundeswehr.”

If it is real, it just broke, so the evidence would probably be a day or two away, as Russia would want to be sure. And even if true, it might not come out, as I think Russia wants to wear NATO down, and deplete its arsenal a bit longer, so triggering a shutdown of all NATO support to Ukraine is not in Russia’s interests at this point. Has anybody seen the crash site of the F35? Do we know it crashed in the US? I mean could they have thrown that pilot out a prop plane with a parachute, and had him land and call 911, claiming he had an “aircraft failure,” but there was no plane to crash, so that is why they created a story where the crash would be nowhere near? It seemed unusual to not lead the plane to a safe place, and point it down to bail. Just leaving it cruising along at 2,000ft, bailing, and not having any idea where it was going sounded strange. Maybe that plane is really down in Donbass, and Russia has spirited it away, and will not say anything just to keep us doing dumb shit like that? We might see a lot of weird military training accidents costing us military equipment in the coming year. They are terrified the election will be a couple of weeks off, and Russia will suddenly take off the gloves, and march into Kiev, making Biden look like an even bigger failure. That fear could provoke some very stupid decisions.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Saturday that the United States and other allies of Ukraine are “directly at war” with Moscow. The danger is Ukraine does something stupid, like a 9/11 scale attack on Moscow, using US weapons.

Russia, the United States and China have all built new facilities and dug new tunnels at their nuclear test sites in recent years, satellite images obtained exclusively by CNN show, at a time when tensions between the three major nuclear powers have risen to their highest in decades.

Re: Cabal infiltration of schools

The awful, inevitable logic of AC’s statement above is so obvious now it feels like a very real violation of all decency and trust. Cabal can’t NOT do this. If you believe or just suspect that our politics and big business are controlled by elites that cheat, thieve and exploit, then you cannot seriously expect that they graciously wait until we’re all adults to take advantage of us. For the same reason our children and their schooling is so important to us – their wellbeing, socialization, emotional development, education, life path impact – Cabal, in its satanic logic, must be there to disrupt. And it’s not just the teachers or principals. Sports coaches and school nurses have personal and influential relationships with students. Skepticism/healthy paranoia, particularly of those we’re always taught to trust, is an essential life skill to teach your kids. Q was right.

It is sad, because if all Americans would have just held loyalty with each other, I would bet every one of us, surveillance included would be vastly richer, we would all have rewarding relationships with real friends, and we would all be free and have privacy. But the world is just not designed for that. “

Utopian thinking. The world is NOT built on Utopian thinking—but on the Wisdom of the Lord—Life is War. This “free and have privacy”, thingy—Utopian. The World does not allow Utopianism. The world operates on the Natural Law–and one of those is “Life is War”—yet this country was built on Utopian thinking.

Free Speech was only created to destroy Christendom. When that job become completed–it is time to destroy Free Speech. So the whole of the “Enlightenment” is fake and gay–the Whole of the “Enlightenment” was a psy-op, a misdirection. Life is War means that one has to live in a Tribe for only the Tribe offers protection to the evil in the world. Foolishly, the Europeans both Monarchs and the hoi poi bought into the lie–so are now destroyed. Lies destroy. Lies kill.

Cabal goes after the administration and particularly the Human Resources of any governmental office. They want people on the government payroll, meaning they want you paying for their foot soldiers. Most government employees learn quickly that if they don’t play along they will face career difficulty. Nearly everyone above lieutenant in the fire service has done cabal errands. It’s the way to progress up the ranks to captain and beyond. Same with school principals and administrators.

ANY local government employee who attempts to be your friend is looking for intel and hoping to move into a position of influence and a source of trusted recommendations. They will patiently do this for years in order to win your trust.

In the Metro area where I live, a fire chief in a pretty well off suburb committed suicide a number of years ago. No apparent problems, no more stories, just found hanging in the fire station. I had a real strong inkling — more of a gut reaction — that he’d been murdered. There was no big stir over this, no follow up story… nothing. This is an area where 3 suburbs over, in a more urban and older area, there were big fires that took out large obsolete structures that occupied very valuable and well-located properties, which were promptly blessed with expensive new replacements: modern, up to date, the whole nine yards. Never heard a public comment or question about either event. In years past, tongues would wag about “Amish lightning.” Surely it would take at least some collision with elected officialdom to push such an agenda. An honest man in the wrong spot might find himself in a precarious position, with his toes unable to touch the ground.

I don’t really comment much but your anon is just a bad driver around bad drivers.
If you’re getting passed on the right, you have enough room to be changing to the right lane. By “keeping pace” on the left, you’re merely contributing to creating gridlock in the left.
Even worse, catching up to cars that have passed you. Shows anon will actually speed up a lot more when traffic thins out, only to slow down a lot when he reaches the next cluster of cars and contribute to another clog.
How to solve?
-Drive with cruise control. Never go past your limit to “catch up”. Mind you this might not be the posted speed limit. You’ll be astonished how variable people speed are and how someone tailgating you will panic slowdown once they realize they zoomed past you with a “challenge”
-If you can change to the right lane, always do it and give the guy behind you a chance to pass. You can always move back when they zoom past you.
Fun experiment to do to show speed is subjective (ie people are reacting to you). On a (hopefully quiet two lane highway), if there’s a guy in the left lane who refuses to yield, stay on the right side, a bit behind the blind spot. He’ll probably match your speed if you try to pass. So, let go of the accelerator. No braking, just a subtle slow down. Left lane boy will usually match you slowdown. Feel free to overtake

This was very interesting to me. I think the guy’s estimate of CHN phys gold is fairly accurate. And if so, then global Central Bank holdings of phys gold are at 1965 lvls. And haven’t been this high since then.

Still not nearly at the historic % of total reserves. Which as the author points out would be somewhere near $8,000/oz.

1965 was when the US began to realize fully it was under attack by DeGaulle and the EU on the currency front. We eventually launched a series of regime changes there and then Nixon went off the gold std and instituted the “petro-dollar”.

In some of his other articles the author makes the point that a return to “backed” currency requires that the participating members have a fairly uniform ratio of the backing asset to GDP. And that this has been happening and a loosely guarded secret. Even the West had been participating.

The price of gold has not responded to this phenomenon yet. And he attributes it to the CBs buying covertly to try and accomplish the redistribution at the lowest possible price.

I think he’s generally correct. And it could be there is global co-operation to distribute phys gold to all nations so that the magic GLD/GDP ratios are hit so that a new currency can be created.

I’d be shocked if there were. That would mean the UKR SMO and BRiCS and everything was a cover. And it either isn’t happening or the million deaths are just “worth it”.

Anyway, the BRICS nations are going to gather phys gold in their CBs at a given GLD/GDP ratio to enabke a new currency. And that will moon the price of phys gold eventually. In my opinion.

In re UKR GDP

Mercouris pointed out that the turbo neo-con Economist published a piece arguing for what is essentially the end-stage Vietnam approach for UKR:

Have UKR build itself up industrially to the extent it can carry on the fight itself. The EU of course should foot that bill. And US withdraws with face.

That’s onviously absurd as UKR has already lost 10% of working males (who didn’t flee) to the SMO. And the industrial base is destroyed. And EU is exhausted.

But neo-cons never let reality stop them.

The left lane is not the fast lane. The left lane is the passing lane. Pass then gtfo. If someone is faster than you, they are, it is childish to be insulted and all of a sudden get your head of your ass to speed up so that they can’t pass you. Surveillance state or no people out there are assholes, just regular old assholes. Especially on the highway. In the 90’s, people knew these rules that made driving the highway bearable. Now, everyone things that left lane is their personal “fast lane” as long as they feel like they are going fast, ooh I’m going so faaaast. Nobody should want to go any faster than this.

On the DFT Ukraine GDP jumps sharply, the article starts with this:

“According to new data released by the State Statistics Service of Ukraine,”

Then you can stop reading. That tells you all you really need to know. Though the next part about the claimed jump being 19.5% is really funny if you are used to handling these types of statistics.

The great Rothbard (well…I thought he was great anyway…) had a fantastic article that told us if we could somehow literally STOP giving ANY statistics to government agencies (and/or somehow make it so the gov agencies can’t generate any statistics themselves either), we could stop gov in its tracks. Think about it: the evil bastards rely on statistics for EVERYTHING. They HAVE to have numbers to prove that their “system” works.

so I am in complete agreement with you…”State Statistics Service of Ukraine”. It’s not just the SS, it’s the SSS.

I’m not so sure. The African government of Zimbabwe has been massively back-peddling. They’re starving because they chased out the white farmers. They KNOW that’s why they are starving. Apparently that government is even preparing to pay reparations for lands seized from whites to try and get them to come back and run the farms. It looks like desperation, and South Africa is not far behind.

Okay, so I’m not going to lay out maps and timelines, so this is a thought exercise.

Okay, first off, there’s different “idea spheres.” The Roman one- the one we are familiar with, the one intuitively correct to us: An All- Father, an All-Creator- of human form, and other representations- guy with beard in sky. He has a family. Everyone is ideal, and comprehensible. Which, really, is a big pitch of Catholicism- God is Ideal, and the world is comprehensible by humans.

There’s the ideaspheres at the edges of the expanding Roman Empire. The Anatolian plateau keeps trying to keep our attention. All the “Old Gods Coming Back” stuff in the media? It’s never Old Aztec blood gods, or whatever Russians worshipped, or Egyptian gods, outside of cool movies starring Brendan Fraser, or British horse gods, or excitable cannibal Chinese ancestors, or Indian anything, or Persians. It’s always “Babylonian.” Which is ridiculous. They are gross, disgusting deities.

Anyway, first off- that ‘modern Jesus’? with the nappy hair and blunt nose and swarthy skin? That illustration looks a lot like the bust of Socrates posted by Bronze Age Pervert. So, there’s some jealousy and confusion going on, there.

Second, the Romans were pretty practical, boneheaded kind of people. Nobody ever said they were given to flights of fancy. They were farmers. Greeks were the flighty ones. Italy is rocky. They are more similar to the original, quite boneheaded, northeastern WASP farmers, than Southern plantation owners, and both are different than Midwest placid farmers.

So, they’ve got their deities- the big state ones, and the home ones- lares, penates. And now they are losing a war to creepy, commercial North African baby killers. Ones who kill firstborns- presumably healthy babies- in painful ways. The Romans discard unhealthy babies by sticking them out of the way places. So, it’s more a matter of emphasis. And the good Romans are losing to the creepy Phoenicians.

The Romans solution is to import the worship of Persephone and her mother to “distract” the women? Does that make sense to you? Just, hey, let’s invite a Greek (flighty, imaginative) death cult? Just, you know, not really emphasize the ‘death’ part? It’s about mothers and their daughters! Granted, it’s a big religion. But, would you?

The thing is-these people know their way around drugs and biologically active compounds. The religion is from Minoan times, it has all kinds of psychoactive drugs associated with it, which means- you know, other kinds of drugs, usually.

So, did the female death cult priestesses cook up drugs to feed the atheist, male, slave owning guys? Who made their food? Their pious (Greek) wives and female slaves. I’m thinking female slaves were very pro- religious virtue. I mean, Socrates had a famously unhappy marriage.

And if you were a practical Roman magistrate losing an overt war, wouldn’t you maybe want some covert biological weaponry?

And for my “Why Jesus is the only begotten Son of God” – when Greeks came to see him, they expected a wonderworker. He, very casually and very publicly, threw their secret hymns in their face- Unless a grain of wheat…the crippled walk…. Which is how and why their religion pretty much went Christian the minute they could.

And, really, you can see it today. Television has never not had a show about witches, or occult shenanigans. It’s the same distraction. It’s pitched to women.

The thing is: state sponsored import of a religion to ‘distract’ the women. The Rofschild said that’s why they promote Buddhism, a foreign religion- to distract and pacify the population. Influencers always promoted “mindfulness” and “meditation.” It’s never, an hour of adoration at a Catholic chapel, or making sure you read your Bible in a year, or pray with coffee and your daily prayer book. That’s always on blogs of not media-famous people. Kim Kardashian talks about prayer, and it never, ever shows up in American media. You can’t really get more media exposed than her, but I had to go look for the prayer quote. It’s obscured.

I mean, if the Roman state wanted a female cult, why not one of the less strega types? Semele doesn’t kill anyone. She’s the moon. The Romans did not import Jesus. That was slaves going wild.

And: Phoenicians killing off healthy firstborns? That is traumatic. The Egyptians had a temple built for the pharaoh’s firstborn son who died. It perked along for over 500 years. That’s twice as long as the USA has been a political entity. So, even back then, that was considered really bad. Iphigenia’s dad did something kind of black magic to get the whole Trojan War fleet rolling. He paid for it with his life- the girl’s mother kills him. The myths all sort of roll around trying to not get her killed- transformations, willingness to die, substitutions- the sort of thing we cook up about Jesus- some other guy got killed, he didn’t really die, he wanted it- all of which is met point for point in the Gospels.

I think the Phoenicians were revolting, creepy people who showed up willing to do business, and willing to enslave people and kill children, and who knows what else, to get their way. We don’t really have evidence that they married into the locals. It’s always portrayed as them being superior, but I’m thinking- people were disgusted by them? I mean, you’d be pretty cautious about double crossing a guy willing to roast a cute baby to death.

We are revolted by people in the news who harm children. I think it’s the same set up. It doesn’t matter if you see an actress in a designer dress with fancy jewelry and heavy makeup if you think she’s willing to kill babies to get that shiny stuff. She becomes horrifying. Or, say, Ghislaine Maxwell. Dresses nice, has many cool talents- flies airplanes, pilots submarines- I mean, she’s practically a real life Bond girl- and she is horrifying because she traffics innocent young girls.

> DFT – Russia Benefits From Growing Gold Reserves

Their mines are still giving up diamonds and their oil fields are still giving up oil. Which they’re selling plenty of, despite the highly-publicized “embargos.”

Meanwhile, the European West has forced them out of the international banking system, made BRICS into reality, and it looks like they’ll have their own version of the euro fairly soon.

Yes, there have been some minor inconveniences, but none of the “sanctions” have hurt Russia appreciably, and each one has left them even stronger.

Putin: “Please, sir, hurt us some more.”

There have been a bunch of news stories about Russia buying artillery shells and other munitions from North Korea and China. “Hurr, hurr, hurr, de Rooskies are on their last leg.”

On the other hand, they’re building a stronger relationship with their nearby allies, and it gives them something to do with all that gold, oil, and diamonds, and it makes that Russia production capacity available for things they don’t necessarily want to share with allies.

Enquiring minds would want to know that those things might be.

The F-35 is fully fly-by-wire, and has “assistive” modes to fly the plane if the pilot passes out in high-G maneuvers. Besides the autopilot, I would expect that it can be remotely piloted if needed. It has all the hardware already; it would be strange that it wouldn’t be configured to do that.

I’m still not clear on why the pilot ejected when the plane was still flying. And for that matter, his duty was to make sure the plane didn’t kill anyone else when it came down; that’s a responsibility I would expect him to expend his life on if necessary. Though what happens reflects current military thinking, then civilian American lives are worth even less to them than enemy civilian lives.

Even with my attitude toward the competence of the Fed and the current military, the level of dumbassery proffered up as an “explanation” is more than I can handle. It’s starting to smell like one of those “any explanation will do, because we’re never going to say anything” scenarios that seem to crop up every month or two. “We already *explained* that the Palestine derailment was due to climate change, what’s your problem?”

“The East Village has gone south”

I’m familiar with the area, which is the part of Manhattan southeast of Union Square. I’ve not been there in years, so I have no idea what it is like now. While I love the New York Post, the newspaper has a consistent history of overstating the crime and squalor in New York, so take the story with a grain of salt.

There is something of a history there. The neighborhood in the 1970s and 1980s was by all accounts a zoo, but some non-conformists who were neither junkies, dealers, or vagrants managed to live there and found it was a place where they were left alone to do their own thing. When Koch was Mayor, a vagrant encampment in Tompkins Square Park was taken down by the police, and in the 1990s the neighborhood was fairly safe but there were still interesting things there. Then in the 00s hypergentrification hit, and going there felt like going to a suburban shopping mall. The Cabal is probably planning another change, but who knows that the newest version of the EV will be like.

We are not allowed to have nice things. You can have an open air drug market in your city, or a Stepford wife shopping mall vibe, but nothing in between. Take your pick.

Via: Daily Mail:
This is the moment over a dozen malfunctioning self-driving cars caused gridlock on a major city street – leaving Texas drivers furious.
Shocking footage from Austin showed around 20 Cruise-operated Chevrolet Bolts causing mayhem on Saturday night.
‘Are you telling me they have no way to get out of this?’ a driver was heard shouting in the video.

It’s not known what caused the traffic jam and why the cars became stuck, but a spokesman of Cruise hinted pedestrian traffic as the problem.
‘Foot and vehicle traffic on the street was heavy. Our cars are designed first and foremost to prioritize safety—and that includes using caution around pedestrians,’ the spokesperson said in a statement.
‘We were able to address it and all vehicles departed the area autonomously. We apologize for any inconvenience,’ the spokesman added.
