Corporatocracy - an economic, political and judicial system controlled by corporations or corporate interests. Run ultimately by the billionaire/trillionaire aristocratic elites.
That they pollute the environment, poison the food supply, corrupt the money supply, propagandise the media/entertainment and now inject us with experimental toxins all for personal profit is pure evil.
What hope is there for such a world when most of its people see so little? And what future for people like you who see so much?
Good morning! I've been listening to that Bailey, Cowan and Kaufman interview on Rich's last post and they all sound very believable. They don't know what could be causing the contagious element. It needs more study.
I still think a contagious element or common external factor is involved somehow in the spread that we see. I prefer them to say they don't know rather than make up random stuff that may or may not be the case.
Why aren't they dead yet? You mean, they are exposed in the hospitals but aren't dying from exposure? Well, they would say their protocols save them. But I guess if there is no virus. No spread huh.
America has not been capitalist in a long time. Markets are so distorted by regulations (73,000 pages last I heard), taxes, subsidies, social engineering, false information and kickbacks, plus the usual war-for-profit. Hell, you think a true market economy would pursue wind and solar farms? Would anyone have taken these poison jabs? I rest my case.
Yup I so agree. We have fallen into crony crapitalism. When was the last time you saw the Anti Trust guys issue a ruling NOT in favor of centralization and consolidation, either horizontally or vertically.
Agree, agree agree. The regulations and the tax code are written by the industries themselves. You cannot have the fox guarding the henhouse, but that is exactly what the last 20 years have brought.
There have been some spectacular failures of solar as per Jeff Gibb's movie Planet of the Humans. But I'm definitely a fan of such resources if done well. I think what should happen is that we should reduce the footprint of the car on the planet so as we can use oil for what we have no replacements for currently (farm machinery, big trucks, aircraft, shipping) and therefore the reserves of this resource might last long enough (a few hundred years maybe) for our species to come up with some alternatives. Same perhaps with coal.
I have never believed in the peak oil theory. In the Rawlins county region of Kansas they had wells that were considered played out and capped in the late 1930's. In the 1990's they tested the wells and began producing hundreds of barrels a day of crude. In addition a man discovered a microorganism that turns plant waste into crude oil. The U.S. Navy bought the patent. I don't think that oil is a finite resource.
Still a few questions there though. First of all burning oil smokes up our cities and causes health issues for the inhabitants. Secondly what is plant waste? If it's our trees not so great. If it's rape seed well there's an opportunity cost there for our species, maybe food. If it's food waste then that's an incentive for that waste which is already high and should in fact be addressed so that it's lowered. I saw a statement to the effect recently that we throw out enough food to feed 12.5b people a year. In other words they seem to be saying that we waste 60% of our food.
I never got into peak oil either but surely the tarsands, fracking indicate that we are actually running low on easier to extract oil resources.
As I understand it, and I will admit that I am not an expert on this, any plant waste from yard clippings and autumn leaves to trees was used to make the crude.
The inventor used a microorganism to convert the waste into crude oil as a result of trying to reduce the amount of plant waste going to landfills.
I own a diesel pickup. I have used vegetable oil to run it. In fact vegetable oil was used in the original diesel engine.
To your first question, I agree completely that the byproduct of the use of refined fuel is not healthy. Industry leaders were forced by the government to do something about it. The result was the catalytic converter but the dirty little secret is that the converter just changed the pollutant to one not measured, aldehydes as an example.
Tarsands are not that hard to refine and are economically viable.
Fracking is just another example of ingenuity. The huge amounts of oil in Northern Alaska can sustain us for the foreseeable future but the government has so far removed it from being permitted by regulations.
I share your desire for a better environment and as a Libertarian believe that if you harm someone you compensate them, but I don't know what mechanism you would use for the compensation.
Converting rape seed to oil is a fossil fuel intensive activity which results in something that emits about 1.2 x the amount of CO2 as fossil fuel itself. If you want to say you don't believe in CO2 = climate change then it still applies in resources used to produce say one barrel of rape seed oil you need 1.2 barrels of oil.
Sure, there is. While I don't know how practical/economical as yet, solar can electrolyse water to generate hydrogen. That can make methanol for fuel cells, or ammonia for an IC fuel.
"Left and right in some ways are constructs designed to keep you away from conversing with each other. Much like masks are designed for the same. Or the 2 metre separation rules. These are fundamentally anti-human policies."
Yes this! Beautifully said.
I believe the 2 metre separation rule has to do with our energetic fields, maybe from our hearts. (sorry I'm so vague!!)
I once went into the tiny Co-op I do some of my shopping at. (maybe a year ago) The young woman who I had not met before who was working there pulled her mask down when she noticed my upset. I'm easily readable.
I started out as a Democrat. My parents were Democrats. My mom was an election judge and everything was done according to the rules.
I took on more responsibility in the party and got to know the upper level party folks and discovered the depth of the corruption in the party.
I quit and joined the Libertarian party and never looked back.
I carried petitions for ballot access and ballot initiatives and wrote letters to inform people of the availability of another choice. They told me that we would never have ballot access, but we are on the ballot in all of the states.
I can't accept things as they are because I do have a child and now she has a child. It's hard to be realistic and not be cynical
The reality of the two-party system is that the Democrats fund libertarians to siphon off Republican votes, and the Republicans fund green party candidates to siphon off Democrat votes. These votes are wasted for each party, you'd have more impact joining the one that better reflects your beliefs and then trying to shape it from the inside. It's just the reality.
That's the goofiest thing that I have read in a very long time.
Democrats are not funding the Libertarian party. They are as afraid of the Libertarian party as the Republicans are. If they supported the Libertarian party, they would not ban our candidates from debating. What do you call it when we have a candidate who is on the ballot in all of the states and campaigned more than Joe Biden and drew crowds bigger than his?
That's what the Democrats want?
LMAO
They are funding our success?
Wow, just wow.
This B.S. about shaping the party from the inside is an amusing statement. The leadership of the GOP is there because of seniority. Nothing is going to happen to the people who make the decision.
That's the reality.
With the way the Democrats are going, they may be the new third party.
Voting for Mittens Romney accomplishes nothing worthwhile. A protest vote is far more productive. Yet Hatu does not allow any protest against unopposed candidates. (Mike Lee is probably not an actual protest vote as Libertarians, etc. could probably legitimately vote for him. He even voted against the $40 billion aid package for Ukriegen, pissing off the Despicable Noose.)
I don't. Mostly because it requires swearing oaths (except in North Dakota) to accept the alleged results, etc., but also because it's fraudulent. You can prove you "voted" (doublet for "vow"), but not for what (except in West Virginia). I'd tried to keep my comment halfway in normieland.
Because the governors who control Hollywood, music, art, science and literature want to turn everything into 'modern' crap and pervert the young. The brainless whores who sing are peerage brats. No one gets into the industry without being related to someone rich and elite already. The poor beginnings stories are fake.
Is there a date on this.
Take a break slandermen it's only 24 hours. Smell the roses. Don't break any chicken's legs.
My blog needs a rest.
Nice comment post Slander.

What does Glorhea mean?
Rich's substack?
I've given him a 24 hour break. Told him to go and smell the roses and leave the chickens alone.
Heee's baaack. 😁
Did Rich gag you? ☹️
Two fish and an elephant
I thought it might have been Afrikaans for something. Thanks.

Just pretend it's french.
😁
Yes, but you expect the bad guys to lie about contagion and covid.
Honesty about not knowing something is important.
There is no science anymore. At least, not in the mainstream.
America has not been capitalist in a long time.

Yes, it would. Wind for extremely remote sites where grid electricity is impractical/impossible. PV power is sometimes quite economically practical.

My whole body let go and softened.
It's been a dastardly plan.
I started out as a Democrat. My parents were Democrats. My mom was an election judge and everything was done according to the rules.

This Libertarian has no use for the two faced liar mittens. In fact I have yet to talk to another Libertarian who supports mittens and Ronna
I had difficulty wording that. You suggest it still need revision?
I don't. Mostly because it requires swearing oaths (except in North Dakota) to accept the alleged results, etc., but also because it's fraudulent. You can prove you "voted" (doublet for "vow"), but not for what (except in West Virginia). I'd tried to keep my comment halfway in normieland.
I'd just as soon not base contracts on prohibited black magic.
Why are so many heavy metal songs about governments and power as well as death, violence and general destruction, especially of the self?
Bet you weren't expecting that reply.
Because the governors who control Hollywood, music, art, science and literature want to turn everything into 'modern' crap and pervert the young. The brainless whores who sing are peerage brats. No one gets into the industry without being related to someone rich and elite already. The poor beginnings stories are fake.
Are you drinking?
Who do you have in mind, Slandermen.
So much nonsense. Yet the above tract is more or less right on the money.
Money corrupts.
