Things You May Have Missed

Have you noticed these extreme changes / disconnects with reality?

(1) Not so long ago (e.g., during the Trump administration), "isolationism" was a dirty word. But now that the Biden administration wants the US to be self-sufficient in things important to them, isolationism is a good thing. Perhaps that's because the US can no longer compete when the "free markets" are truly free, so we have to isolate our competitors (e.g., China).

(2) The EU is spending lots of money to get ready for a "hydrogen economy", but sadly there is not much hydrogen available to power it. And since they're shutting down all their nuclear plants, they'll have to burn coal to generate more hydrogen  ... which seems to defeat the purpose of changing to hydrogen in the first place. The US is going down similar dead-end paths, too.

(3) Some people are drinking raw milk in an attempt to immunize themselves against avian flu. And of course, "officials" are warning against the practice. However, some of the same officials are still encouraging people to be injected with the very spike protein which causes COVID-19, a practice which does not prevent them from getting or transmitting the disease and which as far as I know does not provide any demonstrable health benefit.

Degrees Of Separation

Yesterday I played a version of the Degrees of Separation game. Here are the famous people I have been connected to in various ways (note I left out the lesser known intermediaries):

One Degree

• Simone Bernard, Director Renens School of Music
• Andree Juliette Brun, concert pianist
• Freylon Coffey, Times Beach chemist
• Erich Fromm, sociologist
• Vil Mirzayanov, Novichok chemist
• John Perkins, the Economic Hit Man
• Hyman Rickover, father of nuclear navy
• Irwin Shapiro, Harvard astrophysicist
• George Takei, actor
• Strom Thurmond, politician

Two Degrees

• Rudy Bozak, audio pioneer
• Pat Buchanan, politician
• Jimmy Carter, US president
• Salvador Dali, artist
• Lewis Farrakhan, leader of Nation of Islam

Somehow, most of them never had a great influence on my life. Easy come, easy go I guess.

Sinking Or Flooding ???

Here are two reports which claim the Indonesian city of Jakarta is "sinking":

https://www.news18.com/explainers/why-is-jakarta-sinking-indonesia-govts-plan-to-build-35-billion-new-capital-nusantara-explained-8872559.html

The MSN report says the sinking is due to "the climate crisis". I believe this claim is misinformation.

The News18 report says the sinking is due to soil compaction from the weight of the city's structures and excessive removal of groundwater. I believe these claims are correct.

Not everything is "climate change". Much of what I would call "the population bomb" is incorrectly labelled as climate related. Whatever the case, the solution is the same - the human herd will be culled. That's why TPTB are releasing deadly viruses, starting otherwise unnecessary wars, and starving us.

And like the helpless cattle we are, we're doing nothing to stop them. Bad on us.
