Excellent post, and an important point.

And (as you know, I'm sure) the ECONOMIC inefficiency is only part of the problem -- the energy cost to harvest the oil is an even more important factor.

When it takes two barrels worth of energy to harvest one barrel of oil, there's not much point in continuing.

Yikes. Precipice incoming? Or just a preview of a wider event a bit further down the road?

Thanks! I never saw them live, and they're not bad (so many groups were) even out of the studio.

I LOVE the energy in the second half of Freebird; the much slower introduction doesn't work for me partly because it's NOT hi-energy but also because the lyrics are about being someone who sleeps around constantly "and this bird will never change."

So I start my copy of the song at 4:06, when things start moving and most of the lyrics have run their course.

I came of age in the 60s when casual sex was becoming the norm, and biologically / evolutionarily it's understandable that we'd have BOTH the urge to sleep with as many partners as possible (ancestors who did so have more little near-copies of their DNA alive today) AND the urge to bond with someone for life, be faithful, expect and need to have the PARTNER be faithful, and so on.

We have instincts for both promiscuous behavior AND monogamy.

People are different in their assessment of the value of each approach, and of course a large number of men and women partake of both -- they marry but continue to fool around.

I can usually ignore the lyrics of a song as long as they're not truly malicious, but I'm a bit conflicted about this one despite still enjoying the music and the energy of the piece.

Not for me. Using a VPN, maybe that's the problem.

That looks about right . . .

The entire Great Awakening is necessary because almost none of us are sick and corrupted enough to even imagine how sick and corrupted those who "rule" us and most who run things behind the scenes actually are.

Normies get a lot of negative ink here (and for good reasons) but beneath the cowardice, herd-mentality, and other flaws, there's an underlying sweetness and decency to many of them.

This list is maybe the most persuasive and fantastic group of deltas I've seen yet. Thanks for posting!

To paraphrase a common saying:

Once is happenstance.

Twice is coincidence.

Third time is suggestive evidence.

Fourth and later times are increasingly strong proof that Q has an actual plan and is carrying it out.

Nothing says "We're completely above-board" like asking a judge to hide the evidence until after you've died of old age.

That's a good one.

I LOVE Kari Lake and I almost always enjoy seeing a non-insane person showing a sense of personal style, but to me, those don't look like pants but more like a giant leather compression bandage.

Congratulations on your case moving forward, Kari, and best wishes for a very positive result. Sincerely.

Hooray! Better artificial voice tech should lead to better-sounding book narration, etc.

Eeek! Voice scams will become even more common.

I wondered about that group, Wictor and the Cates brothers, as well, first on Twitter and then at Mastadon. I've come to believe they probably were just being truthful about their beliefs, although I don't think we can ever know another's motivations for certain.

Like a lot of us here, I too had a similar change of perspective, in this case about Trump himself: I knew little about him when he announced for the Presidency, and a flamboyant, wealthy celebrity who enjoyed showing off how rich he was didn't seem promising. I wasn't a Trump-hater but WAS concerned he'd be just another RINO warmonger and big-government pusher. His speeches and debate responses began to change my mind on that, but it really wasn't until I got to see what he was actually DOING in the White House that I understood how lucky we had gotten.

LOL! Best laugh of the day so far.

That could actually be useful. In the meantime natural supplements and foods have long been known to protect against radiation damage in humans and animals.

For example:

EDTA, a cheap over-the-counter supplement, has been used for decades to remove heavy metals, such as lead, from the body. I haven't seen (but haven't really looked for) any studies using EDTA to specifically remove plutonium or uranium from the body but they certainly ARE "heavy metals." I took EDTA for years in a formula with garlic and had no negative side-effects whatever. There are cautions for heavy use, especially with infusions.

Various chelating agents have been studied for removal of uranium and plutonium for some time; see Chelating agents used for plutonium and uranium removal in radiation emergency medicine from 2005 for some information.

More -- in this case, one example of MANY showing that antioxidants and other supplements can help prevent damage from radiation:

Rationale for using multiple antioxidants in protecting humans against low doses of ionizing radiation in the British Journal of Radiology, also from 2005.

That article includes (among other things) the following information:

Vitamin A and NAC (N-acetyl-L-Cysteine) "may be effective against radiation-induced carcinogenesis"

Alpha-lipoic acid "lowered lipid peroxidation among children chronically exposed to low doses of radiation in the area contaminated by the Chernobyl nuclear accident"

β-carotene (beta-carotene) "reduced cellular damage in the above population of children"

"A combination of vitamin E and α-lipoic acid (alpha lipoic acid) was more effective than the individual agents"

"β-carotene also protected against radiation-induced mucositis during radiation therapy of cancer of the head and neck"

"A combination of dietary antioxidants was more effective in protecting normal tissue during radiation therapy than the individual agents"

Even a quick search (at a decent search engine like Qwant for instance) will bring you LOTS more material on the topic.

At some point, "military is the only way."

Is that point coming soon? Will it mean bypassing the corrupt DOJ for military tribunals? Will it be something else entirely?

Like any good movie, the twists and surprises keep coming.

If you want to try to rub your lack of morals in our face; then we have every right push our values on you.

THAT's a bucket of cold water on the Woke agenda. Should be one of our rallying cries. Great line, HenryTheRed.

Yes! She's terrific.

Much of what is detailed in this post will be studied for centuries to come.

We are living in epic times, truly.

EDIT: Thanks for the fabulous overview, SuqamisLostPassport.

Not true. I personally know libs who have awakened, along with plenty of former normies of various political stripes.

Among my favorites in the public sphere is Steve Kirsch, a vaccinated normie tech millionaire who has become an incredibly prolific truth machine about the COVID "vaccines" and the lies and subterfuge used to push them and to hide the truth about them.

Many will never wake up and we all see seriously damaged propaganda victims who are rabid cult-liberals. But not everyone needs to wake up for this country to turn around.

Terrific page, including the old GAW post.

I don't think so. We'll need the full power of the Executive Office / White House to finish things up (not that I expect things to actually be FINISHED in 2025; major operations finished maybe but there will be much work to do for a LONG time).

Trump will be back in the White House after the 2024 election if not before.

I didn't expect this to get much interest, but it's something that may have big effects in the world, and gives another reason to reduce the level of evil we are carrying while we still can.

From Bill Joy's famous Why the Future Doesn't Need Us (2000):

The 21st-century technologies—genetics, nanotechnology, and robotics (GNR)—are so powerful that they can spawn whole new classes of accidents and abuses. Most dangerously, for the first time, these accidents and abuses are widely within the reach of individuals or small groups. They will not require large facilities or rare raw materials. Knowledge alone will enable the use of them.

Thus we have the possibility not just of weapons of mass destruction but of knowledge-enabled mass destruction (KMD), this destructiveness hugely amplified by the power of self-replication.

I think it is no exaggeration to say we are on the cusp of the further perfection of extreme evil, an evil whose possibility spreads well beyond that which weapons of mass destruction bequeathed to the nation-states, on to a surprising and terrible empowerment of extreme individuals.

Note: the essay was published in Wired on April 1, 2000, but it's definitely not a joke. And honestly, I'd say his prediction has already come true. Considering the on-going "vaccine"-enabled genocide, can you disagree?

LOL!
