Damaging kids is probably the goal, not the unintended consequence.

Many many years ago when I was in college, we happened to live near the border where the drinking age was 18 instead of 21, so we would often go down to the bars. I got to witness first hand how hyper inflation ripped a society apart, and destroyed everything. Middle class, gone. Since all new money comes into the economy through government, freedom gone. Stable contracts and getting things on credit, gone. Millions of desperate families who turned to begging, or whoring. Family, morality, and culture gone. Charity and church, decimated. Farming, which relies on credit and stable interest rates, decimated. Factories which rely on stable financing, contracts, and interest rates, decimated. Banks, decimated. The only people who did well had investments and assets outside the country.

Maintenance for simple things like cleaning, painting, building repairs, auto repair, was pretty much tossed aside, and everything was left to fall apart, everything became dirty.

Most people I meet are stupidly surreal and have no idea what's coming, they even cheer the stimulus checks. I would strongly recommend that people petition their state government to re-monetize gold like their lives depend on it, because it probably does.

I've actually had parents tell me that if they took their kids out of school, they might not be properly educated and learn anti-social behavior. HEAD SMACK!!!

Also, without market accountability, any centralized entity is doomed to fall to the left. The left are experts at co-opting centralized power and control for their bidding. In the past, the only thing that kept them in check was real market accountability. Once you get rid of that, the whole structure starts to crumble.

The thing is, they have lost all accountability to the market. First, they hire SJW's straight out of college, who have no idea how to create value and wealth in the real world. Then they rely on regulations that do nothing to enhance their product, but do everything to limit competition and innovation. Finally, the CEO's make most of their wealth, not by producing product, but by stock buybacks financed by the federal reserve at 1% APR financing driving up their portfolios.

Half of corporate USA is doomed. It won't be long before they are getting their ass kicked by millions of competitors using home made robots to compete with them out of their garage.

While we're at it ...

  1. They must declare that those protesters on Jan 6 were peaceful protesters and not terrorists in any way, and anybody not convicted of a violent felony must have their record cleared.
  2. Impeachment of Roberts on the court, and Biden, Kamala, and Pelosi need to be on the table, hearings at the very least must be mandatory.
  3. We need to create more red states to permanently secure the senate, a lot more red states. There are plenty of counties to choose from.
  4. The court must be required by law to give prompt and prudent "standing" and hearing to election fraud cases, and must hear "moot" cases too.
  5. A process must be put in place so any county can switch which state they wish to be a part of with the states approval, and a 2/3 vote.

So I guess the problem is that the water, instead of being just plain H2O, in a tiny percentile of the water the hydrogen has one or two extra neutrons making it have a high probability of radioactive decay. (about 3 grams of the 800000 cubic meters of water) Since chemically it acts like water in every single way, except that the hydrogen's extra neutron makes it a tiny bit heavier, that means that it is insanely hard to filter it out from the rest of the water. The neutrons have no special electric or magnetic charge to chemically interact with any filtering or chemical mechanism.

In distilled water, this decay wouldn't even be an issue, but in salt water there is a tiny chance that the decay can hit other atoms and create radioactive iodine (I think it's iodine?) that is poisonous to people. However, the truth is that the ocean and all people are constantly being bombarded with radioactive neutrons from the sun, and that all soil and water has a tiny percentile of material that is radioactive anyhow. So in this context, the water being released is radioactive, but the amount of radioactivity is basically background noise compared to everything we interact with on a daily basis anyhow. The ironic thing is that the radioactive exposure we get from trace elements burned in coal straight from the ground is more than we will ever get from nuclear, so it's a moot point anyhow.

Yeah back then, if you didn't listen to the priest, you would burn in eternal hell, today if you don't listen to the "scientist", you and your children's world will burn for the rest of humanity with climate change.

This is a classic information war, and nothing is new. They're trying all the control and manipulation tactics that have been done before. One thing I've come to accept about information wars though is that unlike conventional wars they don't have a clean ending, they just tend to slowly burn out. Even today, the guilt complexes from that era linger on. These battles will probably linger on and on, and play out over and over again and again all over the world. But at least at some point, most reasonable people will be able to toss aside their garbage and move forward economically in spite of them. The old US banking cartel is on the verge of collapse, once that happens the flood gates will open.

First, make sure all your property and assets are secure, hopefully you don't have complicated arrangements like a shared lease or a shared credit card or bank account. Get that taken care of first.

Second, don't play games, don't let a doomed situation linger on, don't do "paybacks", don't stoop to her manipulative level. If it's over then it's over, break up with her by phone, and not in person, imho phone is better than letter because you know she hears it from the horses mouth, don't be vile either, just say you are breaking up because it's not yours and you can prove it, and that's it. Don't be some place she can find you for awhile, in case she looses it.

We need not only self sufficiency, but radical decentralization. These massive centralized corporate structures just don't work anymore in the information age. Look as Coke, why do you need some mega hyper centralized super corporate entity to make soda water mixed with sugar and syrup? Water and c02 is everywhere, sugar syrup can be brought from a million different producers.

In fact, even better would be if every net dollar they pay, counts as a vote.

I look at this period similar to the protestant reformation. It used to be that bibles were copped by hand and only %2 or so of the population could write, so they were extremely expensive, only the elite had them, only the elite controlled them. But then cheap paper came about, and the printing press, and soon everybody had bibles, and they would learn to read them, and find out that the elite were doing just the opposite of what was written, and they revolted. From that moment on, you had constant wars between religions, and churches doing all sorts of crazy fear mongering and guilt trips and such to maintain control over the people.

Today, we are in the information age. They are losing control over the media, they are losing control over the vote, they are losing control over the education system, they are even losing control of the money, which is information about value over time and value relative to other things. They are guilt tripping and fear mongering everything. This puts the elite in a bind, because controlling people with direct physical force is 10x more expensive than controlling them with information. There is no easy way to put the cat back into the bag.

This is why I think we are winning. We are here despite all parts of the system being completely against us. They can't shut us up, they can't shut us down, the more they try the more they fail. Their hatred and mis-information didn't stop Trump from getting record popular support, and from all of us knowing that the election was rigged. Their news apparatus keeps doubling down, and keeps losing money, meanwhile the alt media has never been larger or more popular.

The problem is that there is so much social bullshit that I could never trust any convention today to give us more respect for freedom in our constitution than was already set up 200+ years ago.

The only exception being, if they just shut down the federal government, and make every state independent nations.

Gotta admit, never thought I'd see the day where I would see the Russian News about the USA as more trustworthy than the US news.

IMHO, only people who pay more net taxes to the government than they get in benefits or from state related employment should vote.

If only they had socialism for the rich, but didn't put in a bunch of taxes and regulations designed to fuck over everybody else, (and now closures) it might just be bearable.

One thing is for sure. We need to get off the government money, and tax system at all costs. If we don't find a way to get off this merry-go-round, we're doomed.

It's true that Bush presided over the bailout, but it's also true that Obama openly supported the bailout just as much, so we know this was going the same direction either way.

Of course he does. Is there any large institution anywhere, that the socialists have not tried to co-opt?
