As a seasoned HVAC technician for 42 years I can tell you that the end of this cozy period of life in America is winding down. The comfort of Air Conditioning is becoming more expensive than many can afford.
I also get to go into houses, offices, restaurants, ect. and peek at people's lives and living conditions behind closed doors. People are broke. The money is not going far enough.
The electricity cost is supposed to go up again close to 40% in our area.
Later this year the foreclosure/evictions will escalate.
Anyone who's says everything is, or will be just fine is more full of shit than a septic tank.
Most people are that full of shit nowadays regardless.
Dr Kevin McCairn joins Maria Zeee with a high-level science presentation, with lots of electron microscope images of the mysterious white rubbery clots that morticians began discovering in the bodies of people all over the world after the COVID-19 injection mandates.
In Dr McCairn's analysis, these strange white clots are infectious amyloids and he hypothesizes that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein present in both the 'viral agent' and the injections is a broad-acting amyloidogenic attack weapon.
He says the narratives about "viruses aren't real" and "the shots are full of nanobots" are being seeded by the perpetrators, who want to distract you from finding the data, "That they fired toxic amyloids at everyone. There's no little nanobots. I've shown that – I've scanned [with an electron microscope] dozens and dozens of vials. There's no graphene oxide. Nothing, OK? It's the toxic products of these programs that have done this. There is scientific data that you can follow, it is reproducible.
"We've got to find a solution to the amyloid problem and people have been trying to that for decades and we haven't made much progress."
He tells Maria Zeee:
"The important thing people need to take away from this interview is that these misfolded peptides, we now know are implicated, not just in neurodegeneration but also cancer.
"Because of this particular peptide being a blood peptide, it's going to be tied to cardiovascular and thrombotic events.
"And the disease burden – again, this is for somebody designing a weapon – it's dispersed, chaotic and most people are going to have a job tying it back to something as abstract as what I'm showing you on the screen, here."
Amyloids are formerly healthy proteins that have become degenerate and that are deposited as plaques in the brain, causing dementia.
"So the shape dictates the function in biology and the shape, here is radically wrong...You're looking at a very, very pathological, sick form of protein."
Dr McCairn cites the paper published last year, "Fibrin drives thromboinflammation and neuropathology in COVID-19", by Jae Kyu Ryu et al., which he encourages everyone to read, although it is highly-technical.
He says that what this paper is saying is, "That twisted peptide that I just showed you is attacking the brain, kind of in line with the hypothesis that you're dealing with these amyloidogenic attack weapons.
"And the way to do that, in this instance is a broad-acting weapon that's acting as a protein that's in very, very large amounts in the blood that is...able to cause inflammation in the brain and presumably...be seeding more amyloid into the brain.
The image below repeats the image above with inset electron microscope images from the above paper of human blood plasma. The image on the left shows normal fibrin, which looks smooth, next to an image of blood plasma that's been exposed to the spike protein that is a feature of both the SARS-CoV-2 virus and of the COVID-19 injections, in which the fibrin. The fibrin of the exposed blood plasma has similar nodules to those seen in the electron microscope image of the COVID clot tissue.
The next question is, "Is it capable of seeding and catalyzing an amyloidogenic cascade?" and he says the preliminary data says there seems to be something we should be looking at, right now.
McCairn says that, "The fact that this is being ignored by authorities is very disturbing, because...so many people have been exposed...that I would say that all the blood supply is probably contaminated, with respect to hospitals, etc.
"And what would it mean, with respect to [potential COVID amyloid] transmission between person-to-person?...It's likely to come down to tissue exposure. I don't think just bumping into someone is going to cause the transmission chain to continue."
When I lived in NZ ... my firewood guy told me he gave a break to pensioners and the poor on the wood price... that would be well pre Covid -- 2016 or so...

Given inflation has destroyed the value of pensions... I wonder how these folks are doing now... they must be dreading the start of winter
Injecting adjuvents under the skin is one of the wery stupid thing this human ape do. out of many others. No other mammalian animal is this stupid as this ape. But a minority are advanced thinkers but the dumb ignore them.
Our fate was firmly set when our ancestors became bipedal, thus freeing their hands. This is the original sin, the rest followed.
Once we didn’t have to knuckle-walk, we could start using our hands to shape the world around us. In tandem, and to accomplish the increasingly sophisticated tasks our hands and digits were now handed, our brain size mushroomed—and intelligence followed.
The use of fire, wheel, nails e.t.c., are all spring from that seminal change in our physiology.
In fact, I claim (with strong evidence that I’m not going to lay out here) that bipedality is indirectly the cause for switching from hunting-gathering to agriculture.
The best explanation I’ve encountered as for why we became bipedal is ‘The Aquatic Ape Hypothesis’ by Hardy and Morgan.
One part of the human brain (the cerebral cortex and the ability to invent things, plan, navigate, organize, think etc) evolved too quickly for our primitive hardwired limbic system to handle. We can make rockets and computers, but our core brain is still mired in our territorial instincts which are the source of conflict for all living things, even those of own species vs other species. Get food and resources now.
It is the survival instinct to acquire food and natural resources even when one would think that a highly evolved brain would recognize resource limits and the perils of population growth (even wolves limit the size of their packs depending on available resources. Alpha males decide who can mate.) Lions, birds, reptiles, amphibians all guard their territories, and sometimes will fight to the death to protect it. Event plants have evolved to compete for sun and nutrients against other plants.Even the lowly coral invertebrates ( came before terrestial plants) instinctively throw out stingers to ward off other corals that would occupy the best sunlight and currents on the reef.
The white race with all its "intelligence" invented essentially all the modern tools. Nevertheless whites constantly fight against whites, just like American Indian tribes fought and butchered each other. Technology, in the very long run, can NOT overcome resource depletion on a finite world.
In college I read a paper titled "The Evolutionary Advantages of Being Stupid." Seals traded off intelligence via smaller brains because a smaller brain required less oxygen, thereby allowing them to dive longer and deeper, to get more food and evade predators like polar bears waiting for them to pop up at the breathing hole in the ice.
So now where does all this "AI" fit in? If you follow the trend, it will only increase the disparity in human survival. Many will get dumber as all survival skills are lost. There will be a short burst of dependency enabled by our political system of ("Democracy" ) or rather soon to be mob rule, before the resource piper comes calling and culling.
"The ability to comprehend; to understand and profit from experience" - otherwise known as common sense, sadly lacking today. I know PhDs as stupid as ever can be. Specialisation of our modern world has killed the supreme advantage of a dialectic polymath.
"Jack of all trades, master of none" is a figure of speech used in reference to a person who has dabbled in many skills, rather than gaining expertise by focusing on only one. The original version "a jack of all trades" is often used as a compliment for a person who is good at fixing things and has a good level of broad knowledge. They may be a master of integration: an individual who knows enough from many learned trades and skills to be able to bring the disciplines together in a practical manner. This person is a generalist rather than a specialist. This is the commonly understood meaning of this phrase, however the entire adage reads "Jack of All Trades, Master of None, is better than being a Master of One", which reinforces the thought that a generalist has more value than a specialist."

Once upon a time ... I would regularly gather and drink coffee with retired professors from elite US universities... all of course PHDs... sometimes their ex colleagues would drop by....some of them were holding the distinction of emeritus...
Anyone ... I raised the issue of oil depletion around about the time conventional oil peaked... all rejected the thesis that oil depletion was a problem or would ever be... even after I informed them that roughly 1/3 of all oil is not burned rather it is used to make all sorts of mission critical products including fertilizer...
Attempting to explain to these donkeys why price is paramount... I asked them -- if it gets to the point where we have to use one barrel of oil in the process of extracting one barrel of oil ... will we still extract that barrel of oil.
It was when Fast Eddy began to emerge from the primordial ooze and wastelands of idiocy... setting out on a path to great arrogance and disdain for these cockroaches.... I soon after this moment stopped attending these gatherings and eventually lost all contact with The exalted PHDs. Nice enough fellas ... but one can only tolerate so much stupidity....
Nice list Eddy. But that first one's in a class all by itself. A million plus years of using it finally culminated with Sapiens being thrust into the nightmare of full consciousness around 200kya... the rest of human history is irrelevant from that point on.
RE the nightmare of full consciousness: consciousness is a mental factor that takes part in the perpetual process of craving, clinging and aversion due to ignorance. Duḥkha ("suffering", "pain", "unease", or "unsatisfactoriness"; the Sanskrit word doesn’t translate well into English) arises when one identifies with consciousness.
The ego (a Latin word translated into “i am”) is a cognitive illusion. Some illusions (such as belief in an individual “self”) seem to be necessary, while one purpose of life is to identify and discard unnecessary illusions. Given that an immortal and eternal supreme being or supreme intelligence or creator of all things exists — while also acknowledging that there are many who (existentially) don’t accept this “given” — what am “i” to this creator? “i” might be this creator’s child or “i” might be doomed (fated, destined) to eternal damnation or “i” might be nothing. Only the creator knows for certain.
Yes Gary, thank you. When I was born, later I asked why? I was given great gifts FOC, and an amazing material form. But I hadn't asked to come here on Earth so I was not part of the equation. I was born in 1944, and 'suffered' the deprivations of post-war UK as my parents were poor in goods but rich in mind.
I later figured out that maybe the reason was a learning experience for my 70 odd years Earth Walk. I felt that I had come from another planet (I named it ZOB) based in the Sirius constellation. I discovered my Creator at the age of 7 years, and chose to reside in His house (Psalm 91)
I have been blessed ever since, never rich, but given enough. I am not anxious, because the birds don't sow or reap, but our Creator feeds them. [Matthew 6:25]
You consciously and conscientiously and intentionally chose to reside in your Creator’s house (according to Psalm 91). That’s quite the inspirational testimony, AP. Thank you 🙏
Can’t help but find the idea that the moment we gained consciousness was the moment of our damnation to be fascinating. Desperate to bypass barriers we were never meant to cross if not considered even existing would only kick the can down the road and snowball.
The list is endless... essentially every invention since fire ... would be on the list... diesel is definitely one of the game changers... synthetic rubber is another monster
Surely this would alert the average moron to the fact that everything in the news is fake...
Jeff Bezos is quietly building Amazon Helios, a nuclear fusion project set to redefine global energy markets. According to Wall Street legend Whitney Tilson, this breakthrough could deliver virtually unlimited, cost-free energy—crushing oil, gas, and coal. “We’re talking years, not decades,” Tilson warns, calling it “bigger than AI, bigger than the Industrial Revolution.”
If Bezos controls the world’s cheapest energy source, does that make Amazon more powerful than governments?
Why are we so destructive, jet intelligent? How do you square that circle? Is it possible that we have two brains? A Darwinian brain that uses genes to survive and a social brain that uses language understand? Guess which one is the richest and guess which one is the happiest?
We are a defective species.. a glitch in mother nature... an aberration.... a FUCK UP.
Some have suggested we came about for the purpose of releasing trapped carbon to feed the plants... now that we have accomplished that mission ... mother nature is giving us a send off funeral
<begin quote> To the Native American, the word "medicine" means more than a substance to restore health. It refers to a vital energy force available to all who call upon it — and also means "knowledge". This practical handbook of shamanic self-mastery offers a distillation of the ancient shamanic truths of the Native American, blended with wisdom derived from the East and from Europe. <end quote>
I'd write a sci fi novel ... perhaps it would be a sequel to The Road... humans survive... and anyone who tries to innovate ... gets hacked into pieces and fed to the dogs... but I can't be bothered...
We need firewood and shelter and clothing much more than we "need" love and companionship. In northern Europe you wouldn't survive a day without those in the dead of winter.
The premise is false; most of us are not intelligent. A relatively small number of people came up with the core technological innovations that propel society. Perhaps the world would be different if only the smartest propagated.
If one cannot accept the premise of this article ... and I can guarantee you most of the fellas with higher education would reject this outright ... then one is not intelligent.
They may be good at math or whatever... but they are dumb as fuck
Keep in mind 'intelligence' as defined by them ... correlates with higher income... higher income fuels the destruction of the planet and the species
My comment that "the premise is false" referred to Geoffrey's statement that "we [are] so destructive, [y]et intelligent", nothing to do with the article.
I would expect within days ... max weeks.... the toxins should arrive at your location
Only a total fucking idiot would prep....
If you don’t cool the spent fuel, the temperature will rise and there may be a swift chain reaction that leads to spontaneous combustion–an explosion and fire of the spent fuel assemblies. Such a scenario would emit radioactive particles into the atmosphere. Pick your poison. Fresh fuel is hotter and more radioactive, but is only one fuel assembly. A pool of spent fuel will have dozens of assemblies.
One report from Sankei News said that there are over 700 fuel assemblies stored in one pool at Fukushima. If they all caught fire, radioactive particles—including those lasting for as long as a decade—would be released into the air and eventually contaminate the land or, worse, be inhaled by people. “To me, the spent fuel is scarier. All those spent fuel assemblies are still extremely radioactive,” Dalnoki-Veress says.
It has been known for more than two decades that, in case of a loss of water in the pool, convective air cooling would be relatively ineffective in such a “dense-packed” pool. Spent fuel recently discharged from a reactor could heat up relatively rapidly to temperatures at which the zircaloy fuel cladding could catch fire and the fuel’s volatile fission product, including 30-year half-life Cs, would be released. The fire could well spread to older spent fuel. The long-term land-contamination consequences of such an event could be significantly worse than those from Chernobyl.
Japan’s chief cabinet secretary called it “the devil’s scenario.” Two weeks after the 11 March 2011 earthquake and tsunami devastated the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, causing three nuclear reactors to melt down and release radioactive plumes, officials were bracing for even worse. They feared that spent fuel stored in pools in the reactor halls would catch fire and send radioactive smoke across a much wider swath of eastern Japan, including Tokyo. Source

You're in America. The raiders where you are will have guns. They might still have some fun with machetes with the wounded, once they overrun your village.
How did you figure that out Einstein? Americans are not the only ones having guns. And yet you label me as a moron. Get the fuck out of here you stupid fuck.

“However, many of the radioactive elements in spent fuel have long half-lives. For example, plutonium-239 has a half-life of 24,000 years, and plutonium-240 has a half-life of 6,800 years. Because it contains these long half-lived radioactive elements, spent fuel must be isolated and controlled for thousands of years.” Source
It does not matter how remote you are, the jet stream and ocean currents will circulate these toxic cancer-causing substances around the globe. They will be picked up by convection and pour deadly rain on your crop and water supply.
I don't know eddy. But I bet you can. You seem to be obssesed with it. Or maybe yours it's a little small tiny wiener which needs a magnifying glass to look at.
Regarding “how each of the innovations listed below has not lead us to the precipice of extinction”: how long have there been prophets of doom announcing “The End Is Near” aka the end of the world?
Let me put it this way ... a way that even an average 7 yr old could understand...
We feed 8B+ people only because we have petro chemical fertilizers and pesticides which need affordable petro chemical inputs...
These inputs are finite... and we are into deep depletion on these affordable inputs... in fact we are desperately STEAMING OIL OUT OF SAND...
Conventional oil production peaked nearly 20 years ago, we have been desperately cannibalizing nuclear war heads to fuel reactors, and shale oil production is now declining. Renewable energy is nothing more than a mirage of hopium.
The fourth horseman of the apocalypse is now mounted - natural gas production is contracting.
We can see the EU ... UK ... and New Zealand unravelling before our eyes (for those of us that are not blind - and stupid).... because they are into severe depletion ... in the case of the EU and UK they are importing expensive LNG to stay alive ... but that is causing them to deindustrialize ... it is causing an endless recession... NZ is even more fucked cuz they cannot import LNG... way too expensive given their location
The only mentally ill ones are those that took the shots and the idiots stillthinking this is about oil, climate change or some magnetic poles shift. It's about your soul.
I was curious about this parade of sensational prophecies - and the inevitable disappointment that followed the "due date" when the sun rose and the butterflies fluttered by as always - perhaps triggered by that hilarious episode in SIX FEET UNDER with the fundy woman driver. As usual, Wikipedia (now complicated unnecessarily by its morphing into "Wikiwand") did not fail me: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/articles/List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events
Very obviously she is near death... now try to predict the exact moment that she is going to die.... could be in an hour... could be in a few months... she might linger for a few more years...
But without a doubt ... she is gonna die ... soon...
That is our civilization ... predicting the exact date of collapse is just as difficult... as with the fat loser who is being fed meds to keep her alive... the central banks are throwing everything at delaying the inevitable
Dr Kevin McCairn joins Maria Zeee with a high-level science presentation, with lots of electron microscope images of the mysterious white rubbery clots that morticians began discovering in the bodies of people all over the world after the COVID-19 injection mandates.
In Dr McCairn's analysis, these strange white clots are infectious amyloids and he hypothesizes that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein present in both the 'viral agent' and the injections is a broad-acting amyloidogenic attack weapon.
He says the narratives about "viruses aren't real" and "the shots are full of nanobots" are being seeded by the perpetrators, who want to distract you from finding the data.
Chip us and do what? Who do you think would enforce anything in a collapsing society? How would the chips function with no or intermittent electricity?
Chip me all you want, If I'm hungry enough I'm raiding Walmart.
Yeah. I’m more interested in the human fallibility part of the equation about near-term human extinction, about a devastating human population crash, about “we are at the precipice of extinction”, about “The End (of the World) Is Near” than I am in the various ingenious abilities of prophets (to foretell the future) part of the equation.
"A cauldron of boiling oil at the bottom." You got that part right. It's coming. For both the injected morons as well as soulless idiots that will take the chip while schadenfreuding about countless deaths and having visions of cannibal hordes.
The only retarded thing is being able to see through the injections, most of the lies, the coming crisis yet stopping there and not asking any questions about the spiritual element in all this. Also, believing in darwin and lieosaurs. The sheep have no working brain. The have an excuse for not seeing it. You have one. Such a pity. I guess selling your soul to satan is what dooms you.
"The earliest use of fire goes back as far as two million years ago, while a widespread way to utilize this technology has been dated to about 125,000 years ago."
Hey Eddy, I always date full consciousness back to 100k-200kya. Just curious where you got the 125k figure from... because I'd have no problem believing that date. Thanks.

I've noticed common sense deficit in PhDs too. It's possibly related to common experience deficit?
Yes - agreed
Excellent Hubbs, thank you and I concur. History is cyclical, what goes around comes around. Humanity in 2025 is facing its greatest challenge of all: depopulation by death jab: https://austrianpeter.substack.com/p/the-financial-jigsaw-part-2-preface?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Nice list Eddy. But that first one's in a class all by itself. A million plus years of using it finally culminated with Sapiens being thrust into the nightmare of full consciousness around 200kya... the rest of human history is irrelevant from that point on.
RE the nightmare of full consciousness: consciousness is a mental factor that takes part in the perpetual process of craving, clinging and aversion due to ignorance. Duḥkha ("suffering", "pain", "unease", or "unsatisfactoriness"; the Sanskrit word doesn’t translate well into English) arises when one identifies with consciousness.
Yes Gary, the key is to control the ego: https://www.simplypsychology.org/psyche.html
Only by deferring to a Higher Power, and His Will, can one abandon ego and follow our Creator's will. https://austrianpeter.substack.com/p/bible-research-intelligent-design?r=hhrlz&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true
Thank you for the link to the Austrian Peter Substack.
The ego (a Latin word translated into “i am”) is a cognitive illusion. Some illusions (such as belief in an individual “self”) seem to be necessary, while one purpose of life is to identify and discard unnecessary illusions. Given that an immortal and eternal supreme being or supreme intelligence or creator of all things exists — while also acknowledging that there are many who (existentially) don’t accept this “given” — what am “i” to this creator? “i” might be this creator’s child or “i” might be doomed (fated, destined) to eternal damnation or “i” might be nothing. Only the creator knows for certain.
Yes Gary, thank you. When I was born, later I asked why? I was given great gifts FOC, and an amazing material form. But I hadn't asked to come here on Earth so I was not part of the equation. I was born in 1944, and 'suffered' the deprivations of post-war UK as my parents were poor in goods but rich in mind.
I later figured out that maybe the reason was a learning experience for my 70 odd years Earth Walk. I felt that I had come from another planet (I named it ZOB) based in the Sirius constellation. I discovered my Creator at the age of 7 years, and chose to reside in His house (Psalm 91)
I have been blessed ever since, never rich, but given enough. I am not anxious, because the birds don't sow or reap, but our Creator feeds them. [Matthew 6:25]
Blessings
AP
You consciously and conscientiously and intentionally chose to reside in your Creator’s house (according to Psalm 91). That’s quite the inspirational testimony, AP. Thank you 🙏
Can’t help but find the idea that the moment we gained consciousness was the moment of our damnation to be fascinating. Desperate to bypass barriers we were never meant to cross if not considered even existing would only kick the can down the road and snowball.
that is the day we were evicted from the Garden . . . . .
All good FE, as a short summary. You might have mentioned diesel though: https://www.britannica.com/technology/diesel-engine The inventor died in suspicious circumstances - I wonder why? https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/when-inventor-diesel-engine-disappeared-180960635/
And don't forget the Dogon tribe! https://www.ancient-origins.net/myths-legends-africa/dogon-s-extraordinary-knowledge-cosmos-and-cult-nommo-0010059
Well done FE, thanks for the memories :-)
The list is endless... essentially every invention since fire ... would be on the list... diesel is definitely one of the game changers... synthetic rubber is another monster
Surely this would alert the average moron to the fact that everything in the news is fake...
Jeff Bezos is quietly building Amazon Helios, a nuclear fusion project set to redefine global energy markets. According to Wall Street legend Whitney Tilson, this breakthrough could deliver virtually unlimited, cost-free energy—crushing oil, gas, and coal. “We’re talking years, not decades,” Tilson warns, calling it “bigger than AI, bigger than the Industrial Revolution.”
If Bezos controls the world’s cheapest energy source, does that make Amazon more powerful than governments?
Why are we so destructive, jet intelligent? How do you square that circle? Is it possible that we have two brains? A Darwinian brain that uses genes to survive and a social brain that uses language understand? Guess which one is the richest and guess which one is the happiest?
We are a defective species.. a glitch in mother nature... an aberration.... a FUCK UP.
Some have suggested we came about for the purpose of releasing trapped carbon to feed the plants... now that we have accomplished that mission ... mother nature is giving us a send off funeral
We aren't intelligent. These inventions were all a terrible mistake.
E=mc2 is intelligence!
Yep. Discoveries about quantum mechanics are intelligent also. This book — https://books.google.com/books/about/The_Medicine_Way.html?id=TWFIOAAACAAJ — also is intelligent.
<begin quote> To the Native American, the word "medicine" means more than a substance to restore health. It refers to a vital energy force available to all who call upon it — and also means "knowledge". This practical handbook of shamanic self-mastery offers a distillation of the ancient shamanic truths of the Native American, blended with wisdom derived from the East and from Europe. <end quote>
We don't need quantum mechanics.
I'd write a sci fi novel ... perhaps it would be a sequel to The Road... humans survive... and anyone who tries to innovate ... gets hacked into pieces and fed to the dogs... but I can't be bothered...
We need food and water. love and companionship - little more W: https://austrianpeter.substack.com/p/the-financial-jigsaw-part-2-localisation?s=w
BUT we "want" much more and this is what drives our world. And as Xerox taught me in the 1970s, "WANT IS STRONGER THAN NEED".
https://www.incenteev.com/en/blog/spin-selling-the-method-that-revolutionized-rank-xerox-xavier-guerin/
We need firewood and shelter and clothing much more than we "need" love and companionship. In northern Europe you wouldn't survive a day without those in the dead of winter.
Well that's just not true. Need trumps want.
And it did what exactly to make anything better?
It's just a lie.
Darwin was one of the biggest liars and manipulators of all time.
True and his father.
The premise is false; most of us are not intelligent. A relatively small number of people came up with the core technological innovations that propel society. Perhaps the world would be different if only the smartest propagated.
If one cannot accept the premise of this article ... and I can guarantee you most of the fellas with higher education would reject this outright ... then one is not intelligent.
They may be good at math or whatever... but they are dumb as fuck
Keep in mind 'intelligence' as defined by them ... correlates with higher income... higher income fuels the destruction of the planet and the species
Therefore they are the stupidest of morons
My comment that "the premise is false" referred to Geoffrey's statement that "we [are] so destructive, [y]et intelligent", nothing to do with the article.
Go join the club of Rome. They embrace the same view of the world over there.
You think 8.2 billion naked apes consuming resources is sustainable?
You'll find out it wasn't when the machetes start swinging.

I have a no ban policy... you can even ask him if he can suck his own dick
Yeah he's a complete mong.
I think natural selection would work against it ... one would spend all one's time doing that instead of chasing women.
You'll swing your machete and I will shoot my gun. Good luck!

I would expect within days ... max weeks.... the toxins should arrive at your location
Only a total fucking idiot would prep....
If you don’t cool the spent fuel, the temperature will rise and there may be a swift chain reaction that leads to spontaneous combustion–an explosion and fire of the spent fuel assemblies. Such a scenario would emit radioactive particles into the atmosphere. Pick your poison. Fresh fuel is hotter and more radioactive, but is only one fuel assembly. A pool of spent fuel will have dozens of assemblies.
One report from Sankei News said that there are over 700 fuel assemblies stored in one pool at Fukushima. If they all caught fire, radioactive particles—including those lasting for as long as a decade—would be released into the air and eventually contaminate the land or, worse, be inhaled by people. “To me, the spent fuel is scarier. All those spent fuel assemblies are still extremely radioactive,” Dalnoki-Veress says.
It has been known for more than two decades that, in case of a loss of water in the pool, convective air cooling would be relatively ineffective in such a “dense-packed” pool. Spent fuel recently discharged from a reactor could heat up relatively rapidly to temperatures at which the zircaloy fuel cladding could catch fire and the fuel’s volatile fission product, including 30-year half-life Cs, would be released. The fire could well spread to older spent fuel. The long-term land-contamination consequences of such an event could be significantly worse than those from Chernobyl.

Japan’s chief cabinet secretary called it “the devil’s scenario.” Two weeks after the 11 March 2011 earthquake and tsunami devastated the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, causing three nuclear reactors to melt down and release radioactive plumes, officials were bracing for even worse. They feared that spent fuel stored in pools in the reactor halls would catch fire and send radioactive smoke across a much wider swath of eastern Japan, including Tokyo. Source

I got born and raised much closer to cernobyl than most around here. Everyone is still doing great. Than you.
You're in America. The raiders where you are will have guns. They might still have some fun with machetes with the wounded, once they overrun your village.
How did you figure that out Einstein? Americans are not the only ones having guns. And yet you label me as a moron. Get the fuck out of here you stupid fuck.
Think, if you were a billionaire, fearing losing what you have, and fearing not getting even more? How would you feel facing 7-8 billion apes tracking you down? What would you do?

“However, many of the radioactive elements in spent fuel have long half-lives. For example, plutonium-239 has a half-life of 24,000 years, and plutonium-240 has a half-life of 6,800 years. Because it contains these long half-lived radioactive elements, spent fuel must be isolated and controlled for thousands of years.” Source
It does not matter how remote you are, the jet stream and ocean currents will circulate these toxic cancer-causing substances around the globe. They will be picked up by convection and pour deadly rain on your crop and water supply.

Excellent FE thank you, and I agree entirely. SA at 35 deg S is as best as I can do, but at 80, why should I worry ha ha.
Data? There isn't going to be any 'data' or computers or electricity. Just clubs and rocks and knives and axes and screams.
A fair bit of rape... at least at first... when the fellas realize there ain't no police...

Sure but can you suck your own dick?
I don't know eddy. But I bet you can. You seem to be obssesed with it. Or maybe yours it's a little small tiny wiener which needs a magnifying glass to look at.
Regarding “how each of the innovations listed below has not lead us to the precipice of extinction”: how long have there been prophets of doom announcing “The End Is Near” aka the end of the world?
Let me put it this way ... a way that even an average 7 yr old could understand...
We feed 8B+ people only because we have petro chemical fertilizers and pesticides which need affordable petro chemical inputs...
These inputs are finite... and we are into deep depletion on these affordable inputs... in fact we are desperately STEAMING OIL OUT OF SAND...
Conventional oil production peaked nearly 20 years ago, we have been desperately cannibalizing nuclear war heads to fuel reactors, and shale oil production is now declining. Renewable energy is nothing more than a mirage of hopium.
The fourth horseman of the apocalypse is now mounted - natural gas production is contracting.
https://fasteddynz.substack.com/p/natural-gas-production-is-contracting
We can see the EU ... UK ... and New Zealand unravelling before our eyes (for those of us that are not blind - and stupid).... because they are into severe depletion ... in the case of the EU and UK they are importing expensive LNG to stay alive ... but that is causing them to deindustrialize ... it is causing an endless recession... NZ is even more fucked cuz they cannot import LNG... way too expensive given their location
We are on the edge of a cliff... when the EU/UK get to the no mas point and implode - we all implode https://fasteddynz.substack.com/p/financial-system-supply-chain-cross
What part of this do you not understand? Would you like me to simplify it to a level where an autistic retarded moron could understand?
Except for that dupa Joe Doe 😂.
Seems your take on the world is causing him much discomfort.
He simply proves your point that when it starts unraveling, people ripping each other's faces off will escalate to unimaginable levels.
Joe is busy stretching... so that he can extend his head enough to suck himself off
You have no fucking idea what is coming. Lost your soul long time ago. As well as eddy. This is not about any oil. It's about your soul.
You're just another fucktard that thinks you're a prophet or some kind of messiah or simply a legend in your own mind.
You decide who has a soul and/or who's name is written in the book of life?
Do us all a favor and go load up on some jabs and boosters since they were designed and targeted for useless eaters like you.
Eddy is right. You are mentally ill.
and RE Tarded... don't forget that... and a dunce
The only mentally ill ones are those that took the shots and the idiots stillthinking this is about oil, climate change or some magnetic poles shift. It's about your soul.
Which one are you joe?

You're mentally defective.
Thank you for the lovely compliment. 🤗
I was curious about this parade of sensational prophecies - and the inevitable disappointment that followed the "due date" when the sun rose and the butterflies fluttered by as always - perhaps triggered by that hilarious episode in SIX FEET UNDER with the fundy woman driver. As usual, Wikipedia (now complicated unnecessarily by its morphing into "Wikiwand") did not fail me: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/articles/List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events
Have a look at this piece of shit ... https://c8.alamy.com/comp/C0BF8W/miami-beach-floridaoverweight-obese-obesity-fat-heavy-plump-rotund-C0BF8W.jpg
Very obviously she is near death... now try to predict the exact moment that she is going to die.... could be in an hour... could be in a few months... she might linger for a few more years...
But without a doubt ... she is gonna die ... soon...
That is our civilization ... predicting the exact date of collapse is just as difficult... as with the fat loser who is being fed meds to keep her alive... the central banks are throwing everything at delaying the inevitable
It's simply not up for debate that total collapse is coming.

That red bicycle just behind her looks terrified - like it's about to make a run for its life. At a steady 64.5kg. I am god-damned resentful of having to pay the same fare for an air ticket as one of these dugong-in-human-form.

The good old central bankers. I thought you are never going to mention them. The only thing they are after is chipping your low iq brain.
They don't want to chip you - they want you dead.
Why is this so hard to understand for these people?
Dying will come after getting chipped.
Why bother chipping then?
Dr Kevin McCairn joins Maria Zeee with a high-level science presentation, with lots of electron microscope images of the mysterious white rubbery clots that morticians began discovering in the bodies of people all over the world after the COVID-19 injection mandates.
In Dr McCairn's analysis, these strange white clots are infectious amyloids and he hypothesizes that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein present in both the 'viral agent' and the injections is a broad-acting amyloidogenic attack weapon.
He says the narratives about "viruses aren't real" and "the shots are full of nanobots" are being seeded by the perpetrators, who want to distract you from finding the data.

Chip us and do what? Who do you think would enforce anything in a collapsing society? How would the chips function with no or intermittent electricity?
Chip me all you want, If I'm hungry enough I'm raiding Walmart.
Chipping will come before any collapse.
And what would be the purpose of the chipping?
Yeah. I’m more interested in the human fallibility part of the equation about near-term human extinction, about a devastating human population crash, about “we are at the precipice of extinction”, about “The End (of the World) Is Near” than I am in the various ingenious abilities of prophets (to foretell the future) part of the equation.
What does it matter exactly when it happens. It is going to happen just like it always does.
"A cauldron of boiling oil at the bottom." You got that part right. It's coming. For both the injected morons as well as soulless idiots that will take the chip while schadenfreuding about countless deaths and having visions of cannibal hordes.
The chip ... hahahaha Do you not realize how RE tarded that is?
The only retarded thing is being able to see through the injections, most of the lies, the coming crisis yet stopping there and not asking any questions about the spiritual element in all this. Also, believing in darwin and lieosaurs. The sheep have no working brain. The have an excuse for not seeing it. You have one. Such a pity. I guess selling your soul to satan is what dooms you.
You are mentally ill.
Satanists are. And you are one.
A Satanist how?
Oh by lieosaurs you mean you think dinosaurs are fake? What a fucking mongoloid.
As real as the last pandemic. Up with all the boosters, aren't you?
Nope, never took the vax.
The only display of not being retarded in your whole life. Right?
"The earliest use of fire goes back as far as two million years ago, while a widespread way to utilize this technology has been dated to about 125,000 years ago."
Hey Eddy, I always date full consciousness back to 100k-200kya. Just curious where you got the 125k figure from... because I'd have no problem believing that date. Thanks.
I copied and pasted that list from various web sites... so no idea where they got that date from
