Creating a future -- [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 29 Mar '20

29 Mar '20

First, a bite on present conundrums: You can't cuck the Tuck, and Tucker Carlson rips into Western "elites" who sold out our manufacturing base (and therefore much of our employment) to China, from tech to pharmaceuticals and most of everything - even the US military has become dependent on Chinese manufacturing: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/tucker-carlson-us-leaders-have-sold-out-a… The entanglement we/the West, presently faces with China is a result of decades of oligarch gutting of the USA and other Western countries, by literally exporting entire sectors to China, often times along with the actual factories themselves (building, and contents) where Chinese 'engineers' would fly in, measure all the walls, desk and tool locations, pack everything up and ship it to China, and literally re-assemble the result in China, thereafter immediately selling the goods produced straight back to the West, but in this case, using Chinese labour at $1 a day per labourer and thereby steadily eliminating milliosn of productive jobs in the West. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/west-needs-wake-chinas-duplicity Thus the West has been gutted for a few silver coins (to "the Western elites", and cheap(ish) trinkets for the rest of us). Now, we are in a time of reckoning. This time we appear to have may be much less than 10 years - may be a year, may be two? Self sufficiency in food, energy and essential technology (to build houses, transport), i.e. vertical integration, at the national level, and bilateral agreements (entanglement) only where nations have needs they cannot fulfil within their own borders, is a much more stable, long lasting system. Russia has been forced by the Western financial sanctions, firmly into this direction, to a fortuitous and virtuous outcome for Russia, and a great example for the rest of us - we (each nation) need to "clean up our own back yards" so to speak. This "vertical integration" model can apply, at various scales, further down the line - i.e. at the state level, the city level, the community/town/local levels. There is nothing to stop us creating an amazing future for much of the world but for the classic sins (foibles/ passions of the mind/ malaise/ wrong thinkings/ neuroses) of humans - pride, greed, envy, lust, anger, gluttony, vanity, slothfulness, apathy. Each such foible has a natural counterbalance or antidote, for example for lust, the antidote is discernment (discrimination in the old tongue): Just imagine being at a strip club and a gorgeous young dancer of your fancy gets down to nothing, finally flinging their underwear to a screaming crowd of lusty hailers clamouring for that itty bitty piece of cloth which just happens to be a flying ball of chlamydia (and the dancer did not even know at the time). Discernment. Discernment suggests caution, consideration of consequences and the like. - We have a spiritual duty to take a strong stand against morally abhorrent practices such as illicit organ harvesting of political prisoners. - We must remove profit as the utmost pursuit in the minds of Americans ("the American way") and others. - We ought take an interest and have a hand in our own survival - not taking all food and water for granted. This reconciliation with our conscience -is- repentance and is necessary if we are to have a future worth living within - the "mandate of heaven" cannot reign and must be withdrawn whilst base human nature is glorified and upheld, and where those who (at least attempt to) live to a higher ethical standard are vilified, decried and imprisoned! For example we cannot be training and fuelling jihadis for the attempted overthrow of an oil-pathway such as Syria on the one hand, and expect to be relieved of the consequences of such rampant greed and unashamed evil on the other. Vertical integration at the national level could be a start to a reclamation of dignity for all humans. Many will take the microchip in order to receive "free" money to buy food at the supermarket. Many -think- we presently live in this world with an absolute right to various freedoms - to travel, to communicate, etc. Some are so programmed they now think of housing, food, water, transport and even entertainment as human rights - such wrong thinking is of course abhorrent to reason, since receipt without effort implies the enslavement of others to provide such gibs - Ministry speak at its best! If enough of us who see the truth of the beast coming down the pipeline, maintain our awareness of what's coming (the mark of the beast in order to buy or sell anything), and work towards self sufficiency in food, water and energy (for example), and share and grow this vision, we may after two or three generations reclaim the world we presently believe we live within (but appear to be about to lose). Let's make our lives worthy of our own higher intentions.

abundant anecdotes, some humorous, on fear and more, from a Westerner in China - [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 28 Mar '20

28 Mar '20

First, some warm fuzzies, Soul cookies, good deeds, may they sprout :) https://www.zerohedge.com/health/not-all-americans-are-fighting-over-toilet… For some possible insights into human fear reactions ("actions"), journeys of lock down in China, or just a somewhat enjoyable bunch of anecdotes whilst you sip on a Corona with Lyme twist, if you are bored or just want to read something mildly amusing for 15 minutes.. Locked-Down: An American Caught In China During The COVID-19-Crisis Speaks Out https://kunstler.com/other-stuff/essays/guest-post-lockdown-an-american-in-… https://www.zerohedge.com/health/locked-down-american-caught-china-during-c… [tongue firmly in cheek] .. "*Disclaimer: in my case, what I have believed all along is objectively true." Bankrupt shale company trolls their bank :) : Bankrupt Oil Company Trolls Its Banks, Says They May Fail Too https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/bankrupt-oil-company-trolls-its-banks-say… .. In its latest annual report filed late on Wednesday, Bloomberg uncovered that among EP’s list of risk factors the company also included the future of its debtor-in-possession loan which is EP’s primary source of cash, and - in an a delightful case of suicidal snark, the company wondered if that might be cut off, along with funds that would enable it to exit bankruptcy, if its banks were themselves to fail. .. "Although we believe that the banks participating in the DIP and Exit Facilities have adequate capital and resources, we can provide no assurance that all of those banks will continue to operate as going concerns in the future, or continue to participate in the facility." .. Even more amusing, this mini soap opera is taking place as EP tries to put together a new plan to exit from Chapter 11 after creditors Apollo Global Management and Elliott Management backed away from a court-approved plan that would have cut more than $3 billion of debt from its balance sheet; a plan that would need the blessing of its current bank syndicate whose appreciation for such "suicidal snark" may be overestimated. And American consumers are "urged" to keep their money in their banks, for real-ski (this is not a comedy article, though the facts may contain inherent, albeit unintended, humour): "It's Safe!" - FDIC Urges Americans To Keep Their Money In The Banks https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/fdic-urges-americans-keep-their-… https://www.sovereignman.com/trends/fdic-asks-americans-to-keep-their-money… Yesterday the Chair of the FDIC released an astonishing video asking Americans to keep their money in the bank. Accompanied by soft piano music playing in the background, the official said: “Your money is safe at the banks. The last thing you should be doing is pulling your money out of the banks thinking it’s going to be safer somewhere else.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdjzIaEDTnw Amazing. I was half expecting her to waive her hand and say, “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for…” As I’ve written before, there’s $250 TRILLION worth of debt in the world right now: student debt, housing debt, credit card debt, government debt, corporate debt, etc. And let’s be honest, some of that debt is simply not going to be paid. Millions of people have already lost their jobs. Millions more (like the 10 million waiters and bartenders across America) are barely earning anything right now because their businesses are closed. A lot of those folks have no emergency savings to fall back on during times of crisis, so they’re going to be forced to choose: pay the rent, or buy food. The government has already suspended evictions and foreclosures, which is a green light for people to stop paying the rent or mortgage. ... Actually NOT fake news, this is real - Marvel franchise introduces 2 new superheros, literally "Snowflake" and "Safespace"! They're black of course (actually brown): Marvel Introduces Superheros "Snowflake" & "Safespace" https://www.zerohedge.com/political/marvel-introduces-superheros-snowflake-… https://www.sovereignman.com/trends/marvel-introduces-superheros-snowflake-… .. (Snowflake is non-binary and uses pronouns they/them/their.) Snowflake creates icy throwing stars, while Safespace has more defensive powers. Both use “violence to combat bullying,” according to the author. They must also be antifa members if they respond to words and dissenting opinions with violence. https://www.cbr.com/new-warriors-snowflake-marvel-first-non-binary-hero/

Re: The Wuhan Flu can't be a bioweapon
by Ryan Carboni 27 Mar '20

27 Mar '20

There is an extraordinary paradox in early media reports of the Wuhan Flu, the Chinese weren't overreacting, the West shouldn't overreact, hazmat avatars are racist.... There is the potential for some basis to investigate a possible large scale pro-Chinese, pro-virus network of individuals within the West... and ensure that they are employed is positions that won't cause public harm.

The Wuhan Flu can't be a bioweapon
by Ryan Carboni 27 Mar '20

27 Mar '20

The Wuhan Flu can't be a bioweapon, it would be too absurd and stupid for anyone to weaponize a contagious disease when warfare itself is a dissolution of borders where nothing can be contained and everyone can potentially be impacted equally. As a private citizen, I think it absurd that Wuhan, the provincial capital of Hubei, can't be mentioned when their own fellow Chinese in Jiangxi distrust the Hubei police in regulating the flow of people between provinces. To quote Thomas Jefferson: "To give praise which is not due might be well from the venal, but would ill beseem those who are asserting the rights of human nature." I do not think that leadership involves much ability, it is mostly cutting checks and telling people to do the obvious. I do believe in free speech, wherever, including in the bedrooms, but ill-mannered statements on certain topics should be a disqualifier for being in certain positions of trust, or at least require checks against potentially harmful decisions. It is unclear why genuine and valid criticisms of authority has become so scarce. I seriously hate you all, but not in that way, and hope everyone can mutually respect each other.
