the motherwefers attempts to corral us is akin to herding cats which is why they probably will ultimately fail;

This article in the Atlantic by Director of the National Institutes of Health, Francis S. Collins, should interest us.

Not for its utterly predictable and easily debunked attempts at gaslighting about what the early days of “covid” were “really” like (the terror! the deaths! the hospitals like war-zones ! oh the humanity!).

No, what makes it interesting is the question in its title-

Why Didn’t Facing a Common Enemy Bring Us Together?

This is a respected mainstream authority in an establishment journal making two important admissions.

1 – that “covid” was anticipated to unite us

2 – that it failed to do so.

The first one is obvious – I mean, in his own words, “covid” was expected to “bring us together” – be a big global(ist) kumbaya moment. It was expected to be the trigger for humanity to put aside its differences in the face of a terrifying “common enemy”.

Yes, we were expected to cry with one voice, – we will lock ourselves down! Yes, we will wear face masks! Yes we will be injected with untested experimental compounds and endure empty food stores and invasive testing, QR codes and enforced medical interventions – to save us all from something much much worse!

This, of itself, isn’t really new information of course. The signs were all there very early that this was where it was intended to go. Does anyone remember ex-Prime Minister Gordon Brown in March 2020 saying the quiet part outloud WAY too soon and telling people “covid” inexplicably required a global government to deal with it? (our emphasis)......more......

timing is everything as we sit here waiting for the great fall; 

They already are in motion. If you’re looking for a date I can’t tell you. Remember, the objectives are the same, but plans, well, they adapt. They exploit. Watch how this fiscal cliff thing plays out. This is the run-up to the next big economic event. I can’t give you a date. I can tell you to watch things this spring. Start with the inauguration and go from there. Watch the metals, when they dip. It will be a good indication that things are about to happen. I got that little tidbit from my friend at [REDACTED]. NOTE: At this point, my contact asked me to reserve further disclosures until after the inauguration.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I posted the above information almost 14 years ago. Patience is not one of my stronger points and I never would have believed we would not have had to endure tyranny for so long. The time that we have all been given to prepare was either wasted or a Godsend for those with ears to listen and eyes to see.

If you have any sapience, you know the price of gold has exceeded expectations. The actual increase is 27.6%. The metals did not dip but the banks that manipulated gold and silver have lost their control. Even with 200 paper ounces of gold per physical ounce sold and 400 paper ounces per each physical ounce of silver sold, the prices are still too low.

So what is happening and is the price of precious metals an accurate reflection of the collapse of the US dollar?

There comes a moment in the performance of the Marionette when the strings become visible.  Once you see those strings, you can never return to that moment in the performance when you did not see them.

In the bigger picture challenge for Brian Fallon, this visibility always represents a risk.  Yes, people can see the strings and it doesn’t matter who tries to hide them, even Oprah Winfrey.........more......

 mr peters tells some tales about the time before things got like they are;

This is another chapter in the Before Time series of articles (here’s the last one) written by those who experienced those times for the sake of the edification of those who are too young to have experienced them and so have no knowledge of how things were, once.

My parents bought their first house in 1969 – in Stamford, CT. It was a split level in a nice suburban neighborhood, sitting on about a half-acre of land. They paid about $33,000 for it, equivalent in today’s devalued currency to about $300,000. I decided to check what the old house would cost today.

First, though, how about what it costs to not be evicted from it, today.

According to the latest public records data I could find, the annual property tax on the old house is currently $10,530. In other words, three years of property taxes on the old house in our time amounts to as much as my parents paid for the house back in the Before Time of 1969. In inflated-equivalent currency, it would come to about $2k per year, if my parents had been obliged to pay this rent (on top of their mortgage) with 1969 money. In five years’ time, they’d have had to pay a third again in rent – which is what “property taxes’ amount to – than they paid for the house.

As in the whole thing.

But they didn’t have to pay that much because it was 1969 – the Before Time – and both the taxes on the house and the house were affordable in those times.

Neither are today...........more..........

 its gonna be getting more wacky as this progresses;

And Russia is fighting an existential war for the survival of the Motherland – what it has done repeatedly over centuries.

This ain’t no party
This ain’t no disco
This ain’t no fooling around
No time for dancin’

Talking Heads, Life During Wartime

First we had action: President Putin – cool, calm, collected – warns that any attack on Russia with long-range NATO missiles will be an act of war.

Then we had reaction: NATO rats scurrying back to the gutter – in haste. For now.

All that was a direct consequence of the Kursk debacle. A desperate gamble. But the state of things in the proxy war in Ukraine was desperate for NATO. Until it became crystal clear it’s all basically non-recoverable.

So there are two options left.

Ukraine’s unconditional surrender, on Russia’s terms, tantamount to NATO’s complete humiliation.

Or escalation to all-out war (italics mine) with Russia.

The U.S. – but not the UK – ruling classes seem to have registered the essence of Putin’s message: if NATO is at war with Russia, “then, bearing in mind the change in the essence of the conflict, we will make appropriate decisions in response to the threats that will be posed to us.”

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov was ominously more precise: “The decision has been made, the carte blanche and all indulgences have been given [to Kiev), so we [Russia] are ready for everything. And we will react in a way that will not be pretty.”

NATO de facto at war with Russia

For all practical purposes, NATO is already at war with Russia: non-stop reconnaissance flights, high-precision strikes on airfields in Crimea, forcing the Black Sea Fleet to relocate out of Sevastopol, these are only some instances. With “permission” to strike as far as 500 km deep into Russia, and a list of several targets already submitted by Kiev for “approval”, Putin has clearly stated the obvious...........more......

The British Prime Minister and NATO Secretary General Say Putin’s Red Lines Can Be Ignored Because He Never Enforces Them

“There have been many red lines declared by Putin before, and he has not escalated.”
— NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg

Paul Craig Roberts

As I warned would happen, Putin declared wolf so many times no one believes him when he is finally serious.

Except perhaps the US military. The Pentagon seems to have told the White House and Secretary of State to stand down from approving use of long range missiles to attack Russia.

Otherwise we are on the verge of nuclear war.

The irresponsible recklessness of the White House and Secretary of State Blinken should frighten every American and result in turning every Democrat out of office in November and in the termination of the presstitute media, a collection of liars extremely dangerous to the continued existence of life on earth.

But watch insouciant Americans vote for Democrats who have led the world to the brink of nuclear war. Watch them continue to absorb CNN lies, read the NY Times, and listen to NPR. People removed from reality cannot survive.

 this kunstler friday nails it;

If anything like civil war ignites in this country, the sides will not be the political Red and the Blue but the sane and the insane. Now it happens, unfortunately, that the insane are driving the engine of government. They have been at war with the people of this land for years, depriving them of livelihoods, stuffing them into prison, breaking the social contract, wrecking the country’s relations with the rest of the world, and belaboring the peoples’ minds with one insulting absurdity after another.

      They comprise a bizarre coalition of the permanent bureaucracy, the Democratic Party, and the news media. The permanent bureaucracy includes its own machine for making war on citizens: the intel blob, whose tentacles reach into other agencies: Homeland Security, the State Department, the so-called Justice Department, the Pentagon, the myriad Public Health offices, and the shadowy clique that stands-in for a disabled president in the White House.

       You can tell they are insane because they are driven by a single motivation: to remain in power for no other purpose than to escape responsibility for their many crimes against the people. This is insane behavior because it depends on the proposition that reality does not matter, that reality is optional, that there is no such thing as truth, and if it happened to exist, to be a thing, it would have no greater value to the human project than its opposite, untruth...........more........
