Sad. But sadder still, most of the vaxx injured would prefer to suffer, even die, than find out the truth and demand justice (complete with bloody heads on pikes displayed in front of government offices).
A sizable percentage of human beings just never show up for their own lives. I think the jab will be a self-inflicted genetic window which will cull those in the herd who rely primarily on an external locus of control, and leave the few who have a primarily internal locus of control. It’s going to be brutal, and too bad because it’s also so unnecessary. But it’s also the price we pay for the ease of the masses to coast on the primrose path created by the ruling parasites, while the minority who put the effort into questioning their realities, consistently get kicked to the curb.
"...never show up for their own lives" is a very nice turn of phrase. Leads me to contemplate the way that citizens are in effect "institutionalized" in many countries from kindergarten onward - and thus come to expect that such concern (ha) will extend to the horizon. Why think for yourself when government will not only do it for you but a actively discourages, or punishes, aberrant thinking? Check out Chinese Skynet, where your face is discreetly scanned several hundred times a day, wherever you happen to be, and all entered in a database: what you bought, ate, saw, said and complained about. Showing up for your own life in such an environment can be tricky or worse. Want to sidle off for a bit of smootchy-smootchy somewhere? You may pull it off but the Big Eye in the sky will be a voyeur. A time will come before long when we will yearn for, pray for, that blast of solar flare that will frazzle all their surveillance hardware, and burn the memory banks clean. The well-educated, trained barnyard animals will of course panic at this, as they've become so comfy in their cyber-servitude.
No solar flare is needed for this. They launch satellites and surveillance satellites into low Earth orbit until the conditions for a Kessler syndrome are met. After that, there will be no satellites in low Earth orbit for several generations.
Maybe they have figured out to make it work on a BAU lite level with less people ... that would be nice given the Unvaxxed are the Winners and that makes me a winner.///
Your point is valid. Still, why would the Elders commit suicide? Fighting to the bitter end is part of human nature. Perhaps they have a contingency plan that is unbeknown to us? Since the beginning of the Covid operation, things don’t make sense, and every time I try to put the puzzle together, there’s a piece that doesn’t fit.
Maybe they plan to live in underground bunkers safe from the spent fuel ponds... but if you were a highly trained special forces tasked with protecting them ... or you were a chef in the kitchen... would you not grab them by the scruff of the neck and throw their asses out the back door and cook for yourself?
I reckon they don't want to be skinned alive... interestingly ... I introduced a friend (average income fella) to another friend (senior guy in an investment bank ... big income fella)... and the low income guy made some disparaging remarks about the $$$ guy saying what can he possibly do to be paid so much more....
What's up with this ... Berman recently changing his tune and insisting we have 60 yrs of reserves... (after apparently be summonsed to Washington for a chat)...
There is no way in hell that some parts of the world hold together if the OECD nations crash and burn...
Surely she must know that 3rd world countries are growing food using petro chemicals.... that will no longer be available... I have mentioned over the years on OFW that when I lived in Bali ... the rice farmers were in despair when oil prices blasted off because the cost of chem fertilizers was wrecking their profit margins...
Could this be why all the honchos across the planet got on board for the Death Shot campaign... of course it is ... they didn't all suddenly turn into Pol Pots...
Advanced Economies Are Being Pushed Toward Financial Collapse
Each economy can be encouraged to grow in two different ways: (1) Through more debt, indirectly adding to more “demand” for finished goods, or (2) Through added supply of inexpensive energy products. Adding debt to pull the economy forward seems to work well if there is not a problem with hitting resource extraction limits. Once an economy starts hitting resource extraction limits, however, the added debt partly adds inflation, rather than finished goods and services, to the output mix. Thus, the debt approach no longer works well.
The world as a whole is now hitting resource extraction limits. Not only do individual citizens become unhappy with the higher inflation level, but investors demand higher interest rates for lending. This higher interest cost becomes a huge problem for the Advanced Economies that already have very high debt levels.
Not sad at all. World population has to be reduced by 50% or more, in order to maintain the current energy use per capita for the next 30 years (that is, avoiding a decline in our standard of living). Bring the population down to 1-2 billion, and we have enough energy for the next 100 years. Hurry up vaxxies!!!

A Horrifying Breakthrough in the WHITE FIBROUS CLOT Saga
And now we come to maybe the most important and scariest test results of all. There is a subset of amyloid proteins called “prions.” Prion diseases are a group of fatal neurodegenerative disorders caused by the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the brain. These proteins, known as prions (short for "proteinaceous infectious particles"), are resistant to conventional methods of sterilization and can cause widespread brain damage.
Greg asked Richard Hirschman to send multiple samples of the white fibrous clots to Dr. Kevin McCairn, a distinguished neuroscientist in Japan who has spent his career studying the effects of amyloid proteins on patients suffering from Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia. Greg asked Dr. McCairn to check the white fibrous clot samples for the presence of prions.
First, Dr. McCairn performed Raman spectroscopy which demonstrated clear signature peaks consistent with β-sheet-rich amyloid fibrils, particularly in the amide I and III regions (typically around ~1,660–1,670 cm⁻¹ and ~1,240–1,300 cm⁻¹, respectively). This confirmed the results of the prior Congo Red and Thioflavin-T tests performed on the clots.
Then, in March 2025, Dr. McCairn performed a Real-Time Quaking-Induced Conversion Test (i.e., “RT-QuIC Test”) on 3 different white fibrous clot samples to determine the presence of prion-like seeding activity. All 3 sample clots tested “positive” for prion-like seeding activity!
So what does all of this mean for the world?
In terms of the amyloid clots, the micro-clots that block arteries and small blood vessels can cause silent hypoxia or organ dysfunction in, for example, the brain, kidney, or heart without an obvious thrombosis being detected. In terms of the white fibrous clots/macro-clots, these can cause obvious strokes and heart attacks.
In terms of prion diseases, neurovascular or neurodegenerative disorders may arise, and do so more quickly than the decades that it usually takes for these disorders to manifest. For example, neurovascular disorders such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI), brain fog, tremors, and behavioral changes may arise in younger people. And more serious neurodegenerative disorders such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, Parkinson’ disease, and Alzheimer’s-like dementia can occur in younger people as well.
The common trend in British infrastructure over the last half century has been to trade resilience for profit. So, it is little surprise to find out that the electricity network operators have put paying dividends ahead of making timely upgrades to essential components within the system. And something similar seems to have been occurring at Heathrow airport itself. The electricity supplier for the area, Scottish and Southern Electricity have hit back at the airport operator’s claim that when North Hayes went offline, the supply to the airport was lost. Rather, supply was rerouted almost instantaneously through two nearby sub-stations at East Bedfont and Longford.
This has raised concerns about the airport’s investment in suitable back-up generation (which would have provided a buffer in the seconds during which the mains supply was rerouted) with online speculation suggesting that diesel and gas generation on the site had been cut below the minimum needed to avoid a shutdown of the kind that occurred last week. Certainly – and ironically – the 10MW biomass generator will not have helped as it cannot run without an external electricity supply. In any case, the airlines whose flights were diverted, cancelled or delayed are already hiring the best legal teams money can buy, and will be focussing on any cuts or maintenance failure which may have left the airport vulnerable to this kind of disruption.
The broader concern though is that this may be a system feature (albeit a highly publicised one) rather than a bug. That is, the practice of neoliberal economics at the organisational level is to put dividends and managerial salaries ahead of all else within an organisation. And this process has a particularly hard impact upon system components – like electrical transformers – which are relatively robust. That is, while an organisation has no choice but to replace fragile system components, it can get away with neglecting components whose lifespans run to several decades. Most of the UK’s nuclear reactors, for example, will reach their safe operating limit (60-years) within the next three years. However, given the UK Grid’s current inability to balance supply and demand, we will most likely follow Belgium’s and France’s example and find ways of keeping the reactors running while crossing our fingers and hoping nothing goes bang, at least until the half-built Hinkley Point C reactor comes online.
Failure need not be so dramatic, of course. The recent RAAC concrete scandal, which has forced schools, hospitals and other public buildings to close, stems from the same process of failing to maintain or replace ageing structures. RAAC used in the 1980s and 1990s was known to have a short lifespan but was mostly left until it failed before anyone acted. A similar process is developing on Britain’s roads, where decades of neglect are coming home to roost in the form of dangerous potholing resulting from no, or at best cheap, repairs being carried out where full road resurfacing is warranted… cheap repairs (mostly a man with a bucket of asphalt filling the hole) serving to make the damage worse in the long-term.
Britain’s water and sewage system is fast becoming a basket case for the same reason. The privatised water companies have a bad reputation for using borrowed money to pay salaries and dividends rather than maintain and upgrade the network to meet the needs of a growing population. With the result that rivers and beaches which had among the best water quality in the world back in the 1990s are now routinely flooded with sewage every time it rains. And, thankfully less commonly for now, even clean drinking water is no longer guaranteed as a result of compromised infrastructure.
Perhaps the biggest – and mostly overlooked – problem in years to come, however, concerns the 50-year shelf life of concrete structures. Construction carried out on the cheap – as a large amount of Britain’s was back in the 1960s and 1970s – is susceptible to the process of “spoiling” aka “concrete cancer” caused by corrosion and expansion of the reinforcing steel. Where this is visible, remedial measures can (but cost pressures may preclude it) be taken. But spoiling is most often invisible and only becomes apparent when a structure collapses. Certainly, cash-strapped Britain is in no position to carry out a replacement of the bridges, motorways and buildings constructed using reinforced concrete in the boom years of the 1960s and early-1970s… structures, that is, that are now at risk of collapse where unseen spoiling has eaten them away from the inside.
US lawmakers moved Tuesday (Apr 1) to rename the street next to Hong Kong's Washington office after Jimmy Lai, the pro-democracy media owner jailed as China clamps down in the financial hub.
A bill introduced in the House of Representatives would erect the street sign "Jimmy Lai Way" on a stretch alongside the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Washington's bustling Dupont Circle area.
Add to that the polluted air and the poison the masses eat and drink every day et voila, there it is. Too many people are depressed and need chemicals to make life bearable, chemicals that most probably help them to shorten their lives.
As Hannibal would say; "I love it when a plan comes together"
Yeah. SUGAR! A few months ago I met a very nice girl; no more single life in my inverted reality but the way she keeps adding sugar to everything she drinks, I wonder when I'll be single again. I tell her it is poison but she won't believe me. It amazes me how most of the population has no fucking clue that the food they eat is killing them. Oh, she was also forced to take the shot, so eeuh yeah. Read some books about 'loving without attachment", they'll probably come in handy.
Very dismaying to read about the potential of shedding. No one has yet determined how close you need to be to a vaxxee (think focky-focky) but the entitled pride of the unvaxxed (me included) will get severely dented if indeed we can pick up those dazzly spike proteins from the waitress or the guy next to us in the elevator or our own beloved child.
In my opinion it is most likely just fear porn and used to further the divide between jabbed and non-jabbed. Either way, I don't really care much about it. When my time comes, it comes.
I mean if she's not overweight with it it's not the end of the world but obviously it's not a great habit. As for the shot, it's not a topic I would discuss. Most people are normies and they took it, doesn't mean they are bad.
Hehe, I talked with her about both issues. I can't keep silent when I see something that is bad for someone I care for. I know the limit of my control (read; I know I have very little control) so I don't get upset if people ignore my advice. In the end it is their life, so it is up to them.
Laz Ellison & his friends will save all of you, honest he will because he said so & Trumpy supports him so it must be great. Not cheap though but oh the humanity. He & his cobbers just need a little bit more time to arrange ALL of the DNA samples collected over the years from the stupid bastards into his really cool centralized database. When you go for your checkup, even when your just feeling a bit asymptomatic, they'll test you, find something wrong & then cross reference from the big database & personalise a jab just for you, sweet. Too easy Laz come & get us, we deserve it.
Looks like the "anti war" Trump admin is readying for a war with Iran right now. Sounds like a fun time, doesn't it? I foresee a lot of desperate flailing as people realize the well is about to run dry.
Japan, actually a quite cold-hearted society in spite of a humanistic overlay, may be a harbinger, as citizens lose interest in making little copies of themselves and end up living alone. COPILOT: 'In Japan, the phenomenon you're referring to is often associated with "kodokushi" (孤独死), which translates to "lonely death." This term describes cases where individuals, often elderly, pass away alone and remain undiscovered for extended periods. It's a growing concern in Japan due to its aging population and increasing number of single-person households.
'Specialized cleaning and rescue units, sometimes called "tokushu seiso" (特殊清掃) companies, handle these situations. Their work involves not only cleaning and sanitizing the affected spaces but also addressing the emotional and social aspects of such deaths. These professionals often work closely with landlords, local governments, and sometimes even the deceased's relatives to restore the property and provide closure.
'The rise of these services highlights broader societal challenges, such as isolation among the elderly and the need for stronger community support systems. It's a poignant reminder of the importance of human connection and care, especially in rapidly aging societies like Japan's.'
I have pretty much lost interest in working ... I have just about delegated everything ... what I am keen on is initiating an endless bucket list tour...
Colleagues said I was a crazy doomer when I cashed in my pension and quit work. They're now wondering [a] how I knew this would happen and [b] whether their pension will exist (or be worth anything) when they retire.
Oh there's a book about that for Eddy's book club.
Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community
Paperback – 15 Oct. 2001
by Robert Putnam (Author)

See all formats and editions
BOWLING ALONE warns Americans that their stock of "social capital", the very fabric of their connections with each other, has been accelerating down. Putnam describes the resulting impoverishment of their lives and communities. Drawing on evidence that includes nearly half a million interviews conducted over a quarter of a century in America, Putnam shows how changes in work, family structure, age, suburban life, television, computers, women's roles and other factors are isolating Americans from each other in a trend whose reflection can clearly be seen in British society. We sign 30 percent fewer petitions than we did ten years ago. Membership in organisations- from the Boy Scouts to political parties and the Church is falling. Ties with friends and relatives are fraying: we're 35 percent less likely to visit our neighbours or have dinner with our families than we were thirty years ago. We watch sport alone instead of with our friends. A century ago, American citizens' means of connecting were at a low point after decades of urbanisation, industrialisation and immigration uprooted them from families and friends. That generation demonstrated a capacity for renewal by creating the organisations that pulled Americans together. Putnam shows how we can learn from them and reinvent common enterprises that will make us secure, productive, happy and hopeful.
The men that run the world also told their agents to promote abortion, abstinence and LGBTQ and whatever with the popes. They also heavily funded the new atheism and feminism movements. Church attendance promotes fertility too.
Sad. But sadder still, most of the vaxx injured would prefer to suffer, even die, than find out the truth and demand justice (complete with bloody heads on pikes displayed in front of government offices).
A sizable percentage of human beings just never show up for their own lives. I think the jab will be a self-inflicted genetic window which will cull those in the herd who rely primarily on an external locus of control, and leave the few who have a primarily internal locus of control. It’s going to be brutal, and too bad because it’s also so unnecessary. But it’s also the price we pay for the ease of the masses to coast on the primrose path created by the ruling parasites, while the minority who put the effort into questioning their realities, consistently get kicked to the curb.
The tables are finally turning, I think.
"...never show up for their own lives" is a very nice turn of phrase. Leads me to contemplate the way that citizens are in effect "institutionalized" in many countries from kindergarten onward - and thus come to expect that such concern (ha) will extend to the horizon. Why think for yourself when government will not only do it for you but a actively discourages, or punishes, aberrant thinking? Check out Chinese Skynet, where your face is discreetly scanned several hundred times a day, wherever you happen to be, and all entered in a database: what you bought, ate, saw, said and complained about. Showing up for your own life in such an environment can be tricky or worse. Want to sidle off for a bit of smootchy-smootchy somewhere? You may pull it off but the Big Eye in the sky will be a voyeur. A time will come before long when we will yearn for, pray for, that blast of solar flare that will frazzle all their surveillance hardware, and burn the memory banks clean. The well-educated, trained barnyard animals will of course panic at this, as they've become so comfy in their cyber-servitude.
No solar flare is needed for this. They launch satellites and surveillance satellites into low Earth orbit until the conditions for a Kessler syndrome are met. After that, there will be no satellites in low Earth orbit for several generations.
We won't need satellites for much longer. Not an issue.
Might it be possible to slowly cull the population down to a more manageable level?

Advanced Economies Are Being Pushed Toward Financial Collapse
Each economy can be encouraged to grow in two different ways: (1) Through more debt, indirectly adding to more “demand” for finished goods, or (2) Through added supply of inexpensive energy products. Adding debt to pull the economy forward seems to work well if there is not a problem with hitting resource extraction limits. Once an economy starts hitting resource extraction limits, however, the added debt partly adds inflation, rather than finished goods and services, to the output mix. Thus, the debt approach no longer works well.
The world as a whole is now hitting resource extraction limits. Not only do individual citizens become unhappy with the higher inflation level, but investors demand higher interest rates for lending. This higher interest cost becomes a huge problem for the Advanced Economies that already have very high debt levels.
https://ourfiniteworld.com/2025/03/31/advanced-economies-are-being-pushed-toward-financial-collapse/
Something big is definately approaching. You can feel it.
A California quake leveling the coast followed by the Yellowstone caldera popping off would definitely put a hurt on things.
A bleeding from the eyes virus or a Zombie virus?
A nuke getting detonated or several?
A giant meteor slamming into the planet?
A majority of the oil and gas wells suddenly running dry?
Im old and so is a growing amount of the world's population so technically, whatever happens, it will be the second time Dinosaurs became extinct. 😂😂😂
Not sad at all. World population has to be reduced by 50% or more, in order to maintain the current energy use per capita for the next 30 years (that is, avoiding a decline in our standard of living). Bring the population down to 1-2 billion, and we have enough energy for the next 100 years. Hurry up vaxxies!!!

Add to that the polluted air and the poison the masses eat and drink every day et voila, there it is. Too many people are depressed and need chemicals to make life bearable, chemicals that most probably help them to shorten their lives.
As Hannibal would say; "I love it when a plan comes together"

Yeah. SUGAR! A few months ago I met a very nice girl; no more single life in my inverted reality but the way she keeps adding sugar to everything she drinks, I wonder when I'll be single again. I tell her it is poison but she won't believe me. It amazes me how most of the population has no fucking clue that the food they eat is killing them. Oh, she was also forced to take the shot, so eeuh yeah. Read some books about 'loving without attachment", they'll probably come in handy.
Very dismaying to read about the potential of shedding. No one has yet determined how close you need to be to a vaxxee (think focky-focky) but the entitled pride of the unvaxxed (me included) will get severely dented if indeed we can pick up those dazzly spike proteins from the waitress or the guy next to us in the elevator or our own beloved child.
In my opinion it is most likely just fear porn and used to further the divide between jabbed and non-jabbed. Either way, I don't really care much about it. When my time comes, it comes.
I mean if she's not overweight with it it's not the end of the world but obviously it's not a great habit. As for the shot, it's not a topic I would discuss. Most people are normies and they took it, doesn't mean they are bad.
Hehe, I talked with her about both issues. I can't keep silent when I see something that is bad for someone I care for. I know the limit of my control (read; I know I have very little control) so I don't get upset if people ignore my advice. In the end it is their life, so it is up to them.

Laz Ellison & his friends will save all of you, honest he will because he said so & Trumpy supports him so it must be great. Not cheap though but oh the humanity. He & his cobbers just need a little bit more time to arrange ALL of the DNA samples collected over the years from the stupid bastards into his really cool centralized database. When you go for your checkup, even when your just feeling a bit asymptomatic, they'll test you, find something wrong & then cross reference from the big database & personalise a jab just for you, sweet. Too easy Laz come & get us, we deserve it.
honestly, as crazy as it sounds, a portion of people might be sickened by injected 'nanobots'... https://eccentrik.substack.com/p/in-case-you-think-im-crazy-for-the
Looks like the "anti war" Trump admin is readying for a war with Iran right now. Sounds like a fun time, doesn't it? I foresee a lot of desperate flailing as people realize the well is about to run dry.
They can't fight Iran. They can't even bomb Yemen without shooting their own planes down.
Universal health care was always a scam..
Stop playing "Let's Pretend" ..
.. universal death is the undeniable certainty.
Japan, actually a quite cold-hearted society in spite of a humanistic overlay, may be a harbinger, as citizens lose interest in making little copies of themselves and end up living alone. COPILOT: 'In Japan, the phenomenon you're referring to is often associated with "kodokushi" (孤独死), which translates to "lonely death." This term describes cases where individuals, often elderly, pass away alone and remain undiscovered for extended periods. It's a growing concern in Japan due to its aging population and increasing number of single-person households.
'Specialized cleaning and rescue units, sometimes called "tokushu seiso" (特殊清掃) companies, handle these situations. Their work involves not only cleaning and sanitizing the affected spaces but also addressing the emotional and social aspects of such deaths. These professionals often work closely with landlords, local governments, and sometimes even the deceased's relatives to restore the property and provide closure.
'The rise of these services highlights broader societal challenges, such as isolation among the elderly and the need for stronger community support systems. It's a poignant reminder of the importance of human connection and care, especially in rapidly aging societies like Japan's.'
I have pretty much lost interest in working ... I have just about delegated everything ... what I am keen on is initiating an endless bucket list tour...
Just waiting for travel packs to go sale
All else feels pointless... we are so fucking close to the edge now.
What's the point of wasting time working.
"More stuff!!" - George Carlin
Carlin said that when there was still a lot of stuff. He's gone now. So is a lot of the stuff.
Colleagues said I was a crazy doomer when I cashed in my pension and quit work. They're now wondering [a] how I knew this would happen and [b] whether their pension will exist (or be worth anything) when they retire.
I mean do you really want to die in a Zoom meeting? Screw that.
Notice over the last 50 years church attendance declined roughly the same rate as bowling attendance? It's a community problem.
Oh there's a book about that for Eddy's book club.

BOWLING ALONE warns Americans that their stock of "social capital", the very fabric of their connections with each other, has been accelerating down. Putnam describes the resulting impoverishment of their lives and communities. Drawing on evidence that includes nearly half a million interviews conducted over a quarter of a century in America, Putnam shows how changes in work, family structure, age, suburban life, television, computers, women's roles and other factors are isolating Americans from each other in a trend whose reflection can clearly be seen in British society. We sign 30 percent fewer petitions than we did ten years ago. Membership in organisations- from the Boy Scouts to political parties and the Church is falling. Ties with friends and relatives are fraying: we're 35 percent less likely to visit our neighbours or have dinner with our families than we were thirty years ago. We watch sport alone instead of with our friends. A century ago, American citizens' means of connecting were at a low point after decades of urbanisation, industrialisation and immigration uprooted them from families and friends. That generation demonstrated a capacity for renewal by creating the organisations that pulled Americans together. Putnam shows how we can learn from them and reinvent common enterprises that will make us secure, productive, happy and hopeful.
The men that run the world also told their agents to promote abortion, abstinence and LGBTQ and whatever with the popes. They also heavily funded the new atheism and feminism movements. Church attendance promotes fertility too.
