Hi,

First of all, I love all the ”Stalins war” pieces here. Thank you all for presenting it and researching it way better then I did years back from this period of time in the war between ”Germany and Russia”. In my mind it was way more then that as you can read below.

I have read a lot about WWII. Later it expanded all the way to Napoleon and then some. My absolute non scientific history conclusion (since not a certified historian) is that it is a religious war waged for centuries now between them. Not only with armies but also financial, civilisational and of course propaganda wars among things. By both! sides to be clear. New in this war seems to be massive biological warfare and all the results, effects and so on of that.

For all the research I did on it I never found a really good source that summarises all the wars or many of them that have been waged between Europe and Russia since basically forever. The Saker has given some hints at it but never sources nor writes lenghty about it.

I find this weird since so much is written and talked about, for example, Muslim Christian wars (all kinds of wars thus, not only military).

If someone here has a book(s) (s)he can recommend on that theme, I be glad to read that and then read that(smile). This because I think that all /most wars between Russia and Europe have been about way more to it then that single war they were fighting at that moment has been told. For sure (in my mind) since Napoleon.

Of course thoughts on the theme are also welcome!

To be clear, I do not want to make this a vax or not debate. I want to point out that there is a ONE big inconsitancy between what the interviewer (the Saker) states and asks in this interview versus what he does on his site. That one thing being injections (aka vaccinations)

Conspiracy theories, lovely stuff. I lived long enough to learn that conspiracies are everywhere. From the very simple, telling my girl, really, I dont like to go to your friends party, as you know, I hated the last two. Ill give her a call telling I am not well, send her a card. Can you confirm to her I am really am in no shape to come to her party? Sure, will do if you come to the next one again. Simple conspiracy and she will believe it.

The friend will utmost likely believe that conspiracy and considers it fact. After all, Ill be coming to her next party. Even if she doesnt believe it, the friend has all the incentives to play along.

That is how I approach most conspircacy theories that are more complex then that example. My favorite conspiracy theory turned fact is the Manhattan project. A couple of hunderd thousand were involved and almost non knew the whole picture before they died (and I am sure some parts of it are still unknown).

That there are government based conspiracies is a fact. I seen many exposed eventually. Even ones I considered to be quite unlikely. That made me doubt in the ”conspiracy theory likelyhood model” I developed. To super summarise it;

– Most likely a conspiracy since all or most alleged participants in it have the means and motive to keep it hidden. The countours of it are quite visible as well if you connect the dots.
– Medium likely, some of the alledged participants have opposite interests but the rest of the above is there. After all, the bennefits could more then offset their losses (or good old blackmail)
– Very unlikely but not totally dismissable. Example of that one. Here in Holland for 15! years it was alledged that our IRS was targeting so called subsidy frauds and destroying their lives in tens of thousands of cases. Turned out there were ”hidden” incentives. So after 15 years, destroying tens of thousands of families it all turned out to be true. For the ones wanting to know what they were, the politicians wanted to test AI and subsidy frauds prevented would be a good cover (I fell for that one). Also turned out that there were hidden incentives at the IRS for workers that held their ground against people that claimed they were wrongly treated. If you read between the lines, a case can be made the media was told, ignore this or you wont get new ”leaks” and other juicy stories.
– Last are conspiracy theories that are so far out that I wont look at all. Like the earth is flat or we are ruled by alien reptillians or there is planet X that will destroy us.

Well, that is my 2 cents. Thanks for reading and wonder what your thoughts are on this controversial topic dear reader of this comment.

@The Real World

Let me try to answer this part of your post;

”I’d like to know the answer to that also. Additionally, has anyone seen any info about whether the body, once healed from an actual case of Covid (not a fake test and no symptoms), ceases to have those spike proteins any longer? Or is it not known yet? If they retain them, would that be the reason some experience long Covid symptoms?”

To be fair, this is only anecdotical on the spike protein part.

To be clear, Covid is a blood issue (and arteries). Not a respetory illness.

An cullegue of mine gotten Covid, he is early 60 and in perfect health. He first was placed on at home extra oxigen and had to spend a night in hospital. His experience was that it was an issue of getting the oxigen spread in his body.

This was enhanced by the fact that after he was dismissed from hospital, feeling fine and then went for a walk on the beach. He collapsed and had super sore calfs for 2 (or was it 3) weeks.

To me that showed that spike proteines will disappear from the body since he gotten perfectly healthy after Covid. After all, his case would not have improved if the skike protein disappeared.

hi RoatanBill,

If you think about ”the money question” very deeply you will come to realise that our concept of money is flawed. In Asia and the Middle East they get it. We do not in the west.

In the west debt (currency) is also the way we save. That causes friction, to say the least, between the saver and the debtor. If the debtor fails for whatever reason to meet obligations, the saver is also whiped out. On a micro level that is ok. On the macro level, not so much. Hence the saver countries will have to do everything to stem the failing of debtors. Add the exponential system of interest (0 interest policies anyone?) it will fail. Gold as money will not cure this, at best slow its demise. Gold be the debt. Not a great thing to use gold to say the least.

You might say, but yeah, we have to go without debt thus and go to a debt free system. Sorry, human nature prevents this. Even in Victorian England where they tried that with the horrors of debtor prisons that did not work. So it will defenately will not work today since they were way, way more puritan then we are now. So basically impossible to implement now.

In India and many, many other countries they have a way more pragmatical way that avoids big conflicts between macro stuff. You pay your taxes, bread and so on with fiat. But one never does saving long term in fiat. You save in gold mostly, some silver is still a left over of old systems when silver had no use. As strange as it sounds, useless stuff with limited supply is the best to save in. You do not want to save in usefull stuff since that deprives others of usefull stuff.

The real answer thus is to ”cut up” our concept of money. Spending and short term savings for say a new bike is done in fiat. Long term savings in gold. Cures the ”money issues” we have since at least the Portugese when they had the reserve currency.

Reintroducing gold and silver money will never solve the issue that is there for around 600 years at least. There is a reason no gold money system did survive. So reintroducing one makes no sense. I hope you have some food for thought to reconsider your position.

As far as I can see you did not adress my points.

Let me put my main point that you totally skipped again in the spotlight. If a gold coin monetart is such a great system why did all them systems fail the last 600 years?

Considering your rant you are so close in understanding the concept. Sadly then you turn towards an ideoligy instead of accomodating human nature. You basically state, if gold coin is money government can not cheat money wise. Excuse me for laughing out loud. As I stated, if that was the case we would have a functioning gold based money system. This has been tried for the last 600 years and failed.

What makes you think the next 600 years will be different? You morale? Dont make me laugh. You have no clue on how money works. Let alone human nature.

You seem to really do not understand the concepts of money, currency and related saving stuff. That is your problem but I hope people like you will not make gold debt again. Lets keep fiat debt. Something you seem to dislike and make life of prudent people harder and thus make wall street more powerfull.

Nice article indeed. I would like to make one nuance though. It is a bit hard to wrap your head around it but it is true. The author states

”Think of it like this: If I loaned you $100 at 1% interest– but inflation was running at 8%– I would lose 7 bucks per year, right?

Right. And that’s what the Fed is doing. When interest rates are set below the rate of inflation, then the Fed loses money on every loan.”

The part if you loaned $100 is true. It is not true that the Fed is losing money. All banking is all about nominal rates. If the Fed loans $100 for a year with inflation running at 50% per year and they get back $100.001 it still books it as a profit. If the price of the bond craters, they just hold it to maturity and still (double entry) bookkeeping wise all is fine.

That is also why there must be no deflation at all costs. This seriously screws up the double entry bookkeeping (asset and liability) of (cenral) banks even though it is good for the people like you and me.

Of course for us ”normal people” who save this is a disaster but who cares (besides us)?

I am not sure what point the author wants to make. I hope the point that is being made is that people love ignorance above all. From that flows naturally dependency and poverty. Look around you, people still love it all.

They have no intention at all to become literate, form some original thought or gasp, the idea is horrible, get some understanding how the system works.

I reached my conclusion decades ago. This is exactly what the majority of people want and thus they get is. N need the shed tears about it. It is what it is.

Face it, the majority of people want to be ignorant, lazy and illiterate. If that means being poor and dependent, that is a price they are happy to pay.

As being part of the remaining middle class I am sick an tired of supporting them dragging me down. I salute the rich of not having to support them. I wish I did not have to. I dont care about them. Just as they, rightly I have to say, do not care about me.

They care about free stuff. I care about things they do not care about and stiff on me. Like less freedom, no more privacy, respect, not being exploited and so on. Let them riot if they cannot get free shit on my expense. Let them fix their life themselfs. If they fail, tought shit for them but they wont be missed by me. If they succeed, welcome to real life.
