  What If There Are No Solutions? Charles Hugh Smith The unencumbered realist concludes that there are no solutions within a status quo structure that is itself the problem. Realists who question received wisdom and conclude the status quo is untenable are quickly labeled  pessimists  because the zeitgeist expects a solution is always at hand --preferably a technocratic one that requires zero sacrifice and doesn't upset the status quo apple cart. Realists ask "what if" without selecting the "solution" first.  The conventional approach is to select the "answer/solution" first and then design the question and cherry-pick the evidence to support the pre-selected "solution." What if all the status quo "solutions" don't actually address the real problems?  This line of inquiry is strictly verboten, for there  must be a solution that solves everything in one fell swoop . Examples of this approach abound: a  one-size fits all  solution

T he COVID phenomenon cannot be understood without understanding the un-televised 2019-2020 unprecedented financial collapse threatening the entire global financial system. The Covid-19 Pandemic story makes little sense when viewed through the lens of health, safety and science. Viewed through the lens of money, power, control, and wealth transfer, however, then all of it makes perfect sense. The lockdowns, mandatory muzzles, anti-social distancing and the plethora of additional measures did nothing to protect or improve public health- they were never designed to do so. The numerous mandates birthed by the onset of the Covid-19 scenario were all designed to deliberately break the global economy and crush small businesses as well as break people’s minds, will and the social fabric, in order to “build back a better society” that conforms to the dystopian visions of the psychopaths waging this class war. The desired result is a billionaire’s utopia, in which they will own and control the

The good old days of another MMS/3i's failed attempt "Occupy Wall Street" ! "Zero Hunger" is one of the 17! I've always said that the only way to achieve this goal under the MAIN SYSTEM we support is to CULL all the hungry MMS/3i's... And in the Netherlands They are going for it using the "Climate Change" and "Sustainability" slogans to try and do it. Lets wait and see if the MMS/3i's from there can actually do actions that really matter!

In the asteroid belt that lies between Mars and Jupiter, there is an almost unfathomable amount of resources waiting to be utilized. As Statista's Martin Armstrong details below,  according to data from  Wired and Valerio Pellegrini ,  the asteroid 'Davida', which has a diameter of 326 kilometers, has been identified as the  most valuable asteroid  in the belt, with a resource value estimated to be some 27 quintillion (26,990,000,000,000,000,000) U.S. dollars. It is a carbonaceous chondrite asteroid, and contains water, nickel, iron, cobalt, nitrogen, ammonia, and hydrogen. You will find more infographics at  Statista June 30 marked  Asteroid Day , a UN-sanctioned global awareness campaign with the mission "to inspire, engage and educate the public about asteroids opportunities and risks."  While the risks to Earth and all life on it are clearly not to be disregarded, the potential to increase the resources at mankind's disposal - and reap the financial reward

The Time of Our Time James Howard Kunstler Let’s face it: most people will not read Justice Alito’s carefully crafted arguments about what the constitution says or doesn’t say about abortion, or the meaning of “ordered liberty” through our history. We do not live in history. We live in the time of our time. And, until just recently, this has been a time that discarded former modes of conduct between men, women, and children as inconvenient to the presumably greater project of self-actualization. To  be-all-that-you-can-be  is a stirring notion, and it seemed to work nicely within the colossal techno-industrial armature of the past century, with all its inducements to thrive personally, at least for the comfortable elites who pulled the levers of that system — though not so much for those below caught in the gears, who produced children despite all the novel means for avoiding it. For the fortunate, motherhood became just another “no” box to check off, while fatherhood merged into the o

It will FAIL, like everything else! Biden, G-7 Will Ban Russian Gold Imports Having sparked hyperinflation in European gas prices and record energy costs around the globe with their poorly conceived and implemented Russian energy sanctions which have backfired spectacularly, allowing Moscow to reap  record energy export profits  and China and India to buy oil far below spot prices while leaving US motorists paying record prices at the pump, on Sunday the Biden admin alongside the G-7 announced that  they will ban Russian gold imports to "further impose financial costs on Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine." The import ban will apply to gold leaving Russia for G-7 countries for the first time, and will be codified by the US Treasury Department on Tuesday.
