Is there an “Oktoberfest”-style even scheduled for Seoul?

I see Namhae has something…

BTW, one can be against Putin and corrupt Ukrainian leadership at the same time…

I do feel sorry for the people that the leaders of these two countries are needlessly killing.

Good grief, setnaffa… I am starting to suspect you ARE a Russian bot.

Four posts on the open thread?

Anyway, while all you guys were fluffing each other’s dìcks, or whatever vaxtards do when they aren’t fretting about climate change, we just took a giant step towards WW3…

…with Zelensky signing an application form for NATO.

What?

I’m no geopolitical expert, but I am going to throw out a guess that Russia might feel threatened by this… and might respond accordingly.

Between pipelines and NATO membership, they might be butthurt enough to dust off some of those hypersonic.

But none of that is important.

I am more interested in the applications form.

I once thought you had to be a country with diplomats and stuff.

But it turns out you can drop by a NATO office and get an application form.

Along with an application fee of 25 dollars and two passport photos, you can be a NATO member.

An attack against one is an attack against us all.

I applied last year when there was only a 20 dollar fee.

So, I was at an ATM when this skinny pulled a knife and told me to gimme all your money, muthfukr.

I evoked Artical 5 of the NATO charter and within 10 minutes, a NATO ready response team with close air support arrived.

I have canceled my AAA and can’t say enough good things about this NATO thing.

Plus, I get 5 bucks for every new member I recruit… ya know… just in case you feel you need a bit more NATO in your life.

Just read the Ukraine was denied entry into NATO.
Thank Holy Christ.

I can’t be a Rooskie. Bot or otherwise. Failed the language school exam in Basic.

However, I did think Putin, shirtless, riding a grizzly (bearback) was less ghey than anything SCOAMF has ever done in his life, so there’s that.

Democrats used to promise nice things. Now they just mumble incoherently and create offortunity for memes like SponngeBrain CrappedPants and his Boy Wonder…

Liz, I am going to guess if you wait a few days, you are going to see the games start.

NATO doesn’t “deny entry”.

There are 30 members who have to agree.

Like we just saw with Turkey, different countries will be:

“We support Ukraine’s inclusion into NATO to act as a restraint on Russian aggression.”

To…

“We, we may not be able to agree with Ukraine joining the alliance unless we get (insert demands here).”

This may intentionally drag on to provoke Russia.

Whatever the case, much of the response will be greatly done in the background.

If America wants Ukraine in NATO, they will be quietly offering advanced fighters and such at reduced prices to any holdouts.

If America wants NATO at Russia’s doorstep, they will buy it. If America wants disorder, they will create it.

Confirmed case of (covid vaccine induced) encephalitis (and myocarditis), fatal. In autopsy report.
https://www.mdpi.com/2076-393X/10/10/1651

Conclusions:
Numerous cases of encephalitis and encephalomyelitis have been reported in connection with the gene-based COVID-19 vaccines, with many being considered causally related to vaccination [31,38,39]. However, this is the first report to demonstrate the
presence of the spike protein within the encephalitic lesions and to attribute it to vaccination
rather than infection. These findings corroborate a causative role of the gene-based COVID-19 vaccines, and this diagnostic approach is relevant to potentially vaccine-induced damage to other organs as well.

Well, I had a medical journal article that was rejected. Autopsy report linking the vix to encephalitis (and myocarditis but we knew that).
Scotland is now investigating infant deaths that have more than doubled in the past year.

Let’s see how two year old predictions are coming;

– covid came from a lab. (has gone from “no, you racist” to “uh well maybe”)

– many “covid deaths” will turn out to be exaggerated for political purposes. (most of them under 60 who were healthy)

– Ivermectin and HCQ can theoretically fight covid if government and pharmaceutical companies will allow its study and use. (realworld use verifies this)

– Putting covid-positive people in nursing homes with the only really vulnerable population is brilliant financial strategy but not good public health management. Nobody will be held responsible for this murder. (verified)

– the vaccine cannot work. (verified)

– the government / pharmaceutical companies will be pushing unlimited boosters. (verified)

– the Safe & Effective vaccine is not effective (verified) and not safe (looking more like that).

Is there any prediction from two years ago that has not come undeniably true or been increasingly backed up by circumstantial evidence?

And what is the future prediction?

This may take years or decades to notice but there will almost assuredly be undeniable long-term effects on the health of a percentage of the vaccinated.

The Real Science indicates there are many pathways for problems when artificially flooding the body with spike proteins:

– brain dysfunction
– heart damage
– reproductive damage
– immune system damage
– cancer potential
– developmental problems in children

The fact that we have been told intentional lies about this inspires an even lower of level of confidence.

– the spike proteins just stay in the arm muscle (they don’t for many, most, all?)

– the spike proteins dissappear quickly (nope)

– spike proteins aren’t in breast milk (they are)

Soooo… will we see more real research?

This study is based off an autopsy privately paid for by a family. That is a rare case compared to all the studies paid for by organizations with a strong political or financial incentive to push a pro-vaccine narrative.

(It doesn’t inspire confidence when emails between researchers discuss the results they need to find if they wish to keep their funding)

So let’s keep an eye on this.

When you are ready to…

– be actually protected against covid… not the sniffles but the upcoming deadly strain. (Coming once the dynamics of the current strains are fully worked out and deemed safe to manage).

– destroy any spike proteins that may be lurking around damaging your precious cells

– reverse some of the damage the spike proteins have already done to your body (still in development)

…ask about my price list.

Given how the United States has abused its position as the world’s reserved currency to rob the rest of the world after going on a debt binge, I predict the world will finally smarten up and more countries will sign up to stop using the US dollar. Already, the movement is happening, as over one hundred countries are studying or piloting central bank digital currencies for cross-border or domestic uses. The worldwide movement toward cryptocurrency to avoid US currency manipulations designed to enrich US citizens at the back of the rest of the world is gaining momentum, and it will be in full force after the US crashes a number of large economies in the next few months. That’s when swaths of nations will stop using the US dollar, a fiat currency backed by nothing. This abuse must come to an end.

Has anybody else noticed the level of crazy propaganda surrounding the Nord Stream sabotage?

Today’s propaganda is “the leak has stopped” or the even worse “the leak has been stopped”.

Neither are true.

The direction of the leak has simply reversed.

What used to be high-pressure gas leaking out is now gravity-driven seawater leaking in. This will fill the lowest sections, which is pretty much the entire pipeline. The steel is protected against corrosion. It is unclear how long this protection will last with constant exposure to seawater.

For inspiration, we might look at navy ships,
at the forefront of interest in corrosion protection, and their painting schedules.

Another favorite is, and I quote Time Magizine, “Russia Blows Up Gas Pipelines, Declaring an All-Out Energy War It May Already Have Lost”.

Of all the possibilities, Russia destroying their own pipeline is so ridiculous those suggesting it need kicked in the nuts. Anyone wishing others to entertain this thought will need to provide solid reasons for:

– What does Russia gain from blowing up their own pipeline that turning off the tap does not give them?

– Why hasn’t Russia blown up their pipeline running through Ukraine?

– How did blowing up the pipeline hurt Russia? (This is a control question to see if they are honest with themselves)

Since Russia is about the last choice as the culprit, who are the biggest winners?

USA – now controlling Europe through energy price and availabilty like Russia once did… good job, USA USA USA!

Norway – Filling the energy gap with high prices where Russia once supplied with lower prices… never ask a woman her age, a man his salary, a Norwegian what supports their standard of living via exports

Ukraine and Poland – getting transfer fees that were avoided by undersea pipelines… they never liked that Nord Stream because… of… environmental impact… or something definitely not related to economics

Globalists – the deindustrializtion of Europe and the reduction of the middle class lifestyle in keeping with neofeudalism and the principles of sustainability, environmentalism, equity, etc., of the Great Reset. Wouldn’t that be amazing if this was the first direct action by a non-state player?

Let’s see how long Norway’s pipeline lasts.

There is some truth, some misunderstanding, and some wishful thinking.

“Given how the United States has abused its position as the world’s reserved currency to rob the rest of the world after going on a debt binge, I predict the world will finally smarten up and more countries will sign up to stop using the US dollar.”

Yes and no. If that was easy to do, it would already be done.

The biggest two problems are:
– the current system works and nobody knows what a replacement system would do
– all proposed replacement systems benefit their proposers just as much as the current system benefits America

Sure, America’s system is exploive… but would you prefer the global financial system to be run by Chinese?

Neither does anyone else who is not Chinese.

“Already, the movement is happening, as over one hundred countries are studying or piloting central bank digital currencies for cross-border or domestic uses.”

While the value of cryptocurriencies continue to collapse, we are supposed to believe UgandaCoin is the solution to the US Dollar? A hundred countries are piloting ways to get more taxes and control the population. They have no fantasy their coin will be of much value to settle international debt.

“The worldwide movement toward cryptocurrency to avoid US currency manipulations designed to enrich US citizens at the back of the rest of the world is gaining momentum”

Change “US citizens” to “multinational corporations in on the plan to keep the US dollar central to international trade” and you have me.

“and it will be in full force after the US crashes a number of large economies in the next few months.”

Europe and Britian brought the crash of their economies on themselves, primarily through ridiculous energy, environmental, labor, and immigration policy.

China failed to learn the lessons of 80s Japan.

All nations (Korea) killed their economies with mindless covid policies.

Everyone else is a basket case before America gets involved.

“That’s when swaths of nations will stop using the US dollar, a fiat currency backed by nothing. This abuse must come to an end.”

Protip: they are ALL fiat currencies.

Except… maybe… uh… the gas-backed and gold-bavked…

…ruble?

So, just as those sweet, sweet EVs are really “coal-powered”, All currencies lean on the dollar.

You young computer users don’t know how easy you have it these days…

S-100 Bus
by Frank Hays

When I was young, my friends all worked like fools to get their share

Of an S-100 system, like an Imsai or Altair;

Well the S-100’s still around, I’m very glad to say

But friends, I’m here to tell you that it’s not the same today

.

Chorus: And it’s cheer up, my lads, let your hearts never fuss

When you’re integrating systems for the S-100 bus

.

To tell the truth, the source of all our troubles seems to be

A committee on computers of the I of triple E;

They settled on a standard spec, 696 by name

Now everything is standardized, but nothing works the same

.

They say the 80 boards are way too slow – it’s enough to give you fits

If the 09 isn’t fast enough, then go to 16 bits

68 and z8000 and an 86 as well

And code compatibility goes straight to bloody hell

.

Then add a board for the modem line and one for every port

And a printer board and a keyboard board, and as a last resort

For every problem we will add a board that has the cure

It’s not too damned efficient, but it’s a mother, that’s for sure

.

And when it’s all assembled there’s computer to your choler

It’s nice to have a micro but a mainframe would be smaller

And when they turn the power on, it’s sure to dim the lamps

With plus or minus sixteen volts and fourteen hundred amps

Just finished a great novelization of the 1873 Mackenzie Raid and learned a bit about the US Army’s history.

The author used the term “benzine” a lot as a type of disciplinary action, so I did some research and found this:

https://shareok.org/handle/11244/19631

Doesn’t say a lot; but it completed my understanding of how the word was used.
