It’s Come to This

All dissipative structures, built to dissipate energy gradients in fulfillment of the universal entropy mandate, are themselves subject to return to their lowest energy state or dissolution. There is no avoiding it. Even financial success, although perhaps guarding against a premature dissolution, has no power in the end. Statues, names on buildings, photographs, digital files etc. and other memorabilia are also subject to disintegration. Rising up against equilibrium is a temporary condition as the universe is always pulling in the opposite direction and the universe sets the rules.

All of the religious insanity and appeal to the mystical is only another attempt to foil the inviolable decree of the universe in which life and order are only granted for a short time and only if it pays for itself in entropy produced. Desperate dissipatives that lie, cheat, steal, murder, politick, grandstand and otherwise compete for energy (wealth) to stay above equilibrium, for a short while, is the natural order (or disorder) of things. No doubt humans will destroy themselves and everything around them in a panicked attempt to keep their heads above the equilibrium water as the fossil fuel gradient becomes insufficient. Many, coddled in a time of abundant surplus energy are far too trusting, taking untested, “warp-speed” vaccines in response to mask, lock-down and various propaganda fear campaigns orchestrated by a malevolent, traitorous government composed of greedy, gelatinous, glad-handing and unscrupulous puppets. Unwary people will lose the battle for existence to those that deceive, enslave and murder on a whim, or in the current environment, to those hatching carefully planned and deceitful operations aimed at “cleaning-up” humanity.

“This won’t hurt a bit and besides it’s all for the greater good. God bless your little heart – you’re going to need it when the myocarditis starts.”

You trust your mommy don’t you?

You trust the doctor don’t you?

You trust the government don’t you?

They don’t have any “dissipative” ulterior motives do they?

  1. I tried to read JHK a couple of times yesterday. I could never quite get through the bit.

    I have to admit that there is a lot of fishy business surrounding the “vaccines”, has been from the start. But with the information available to me, that’s about all I can say. I can’t make the jump from an increased death rate, to a scheme for mass population reduction, by a cadre of mysterious elites, by way of a janky poisonous vaccine.

    I do think that many of the more prominant vaccine pushers have their dirty fingers stuck in a pie of greed, control, deceit, megalomania and blame shifting I have to think that “they” will stop pushing them in the near future. The whole issue will be overcome by events, and largly forgotten, in next few years. I guess.

    I’d like to be wrong. I’d like to see someone be held accountable for something. But that is not the order of the day.

    1. Most people don’t perceive the impending cessation of growth and the collapse of the Western money system which is reason enough for the unscrupulous to make a genocidal vaccine system a feature of our existence. They’re dissipatives and especially greedy ones that will refuse to reverse the wealth pump to support useless eaters. They would much rather kill the useless eaters than support them when energy levels are diminishing. Maybe when Putin liberates the West and storms the Pfizer and Moderna Zyklon-B factories we’ll find out who is responsible.

  2. Does KY allow recreational marijuana sales? I kinda doubt it. This was something of an issue in “progressive” states for a long time. I’ve been kind of neutral on the subject. But I have seen people essentially get their life ruined over a pot bust. Confiscated property and all that. I’ve always thought that was wrong.

    CT will start recreational sales on Tuesday of this week.

    I used to go up to MA to buy some on occasion. I haven’t in quite a while. When MA first started there was one or two outlets. There would be lines around the block to get in. The last time I went up to Holyoke MA to buy some, must be about two years ago at this point, there was like a a pot shop on very other block. Take your pick.

            1. Yeah my flight over there was seventeen hours from Houston to Taipei, then another four and half hours from Taipei to Bangkok. Twenty-one and a half flying hours to get there. Flying back it was four hours from Bangkok to Taipei and then thirteen hours from Taipei to Houston. Only seventeen flying hours to get back, much easier. It has to do with flying against the wind on the way over there and with the wind on the way back.

              The Russian’s are lucky to be in the same hemisphere and the furthest to the east in Europe. Makes it only around 9 hours flight time. I’m going to assume that aviation fuel is also cheaper for them too, at least on the way over.

And some day, it will get that energy.

  7. “Spotlight on China” is laying it on pretty thick as the dissipative, dead wood is thinned out a bit. You have to keep “pandemic” in people’s minds until they’re incarcerated in the “vaccine system.” That’s what happens at the crematorium, the universe reclaims the energy it let you borrow to do its work, your body. It’s a win-win because you get to burn some fossil fuels too. At least the molecules are organic and potentially recyclable. What’s with those oversized coffins? Surely they don’t burn those. I don’t think I would bury one either for the slow subterranean burn. People might have to live in those before its all over. Put some air vents in that, a small solar heater, LED, a big comforter, pipe in some Muzak, close the lid and you might have a right nice microclimate.

  14. I think the fear induced hysteria was whipped-up intentionally to usher-in the vaccine program. If anything, there seems to be too little hysteria regarding the excess deaths. The virus has evolved to mimic human tissue epitopes so it’s not recognized by the immune system. That makes it extremely difficult if not impossible to create a vaccine against it, even with AI etc. It might be that a certain amount of autoimmunity death is acceptable. But if the vaccines are in the least effective, why are vaccine recipients more likely to repeatedly contract Covid? My feeling at this point is that the more times you are vaccinated or catch Covid the more damaged you become and the less likely you are to repulse future infections. A downward spiral. What should cause more hysteria is that we have crackpots like Biden, Trudeau, Trump, Boris Johnson and Macron at the steering wheels in the West with the WEF pulling their strings.

  18. This video is good so you can understand the dynamics of your own vaporization.

    The Sun releases the equivalent of 8-9 trillion megatons of TNT per second but by the time some fraction of that hits the earth it’s only good for warming things up a bit, getting organisms to pop-out of the land and oceans, create air and water currents, illuminate things and do a lot of evaporation. That was good enough for several billion years. Why would evolution use the RNA/DNA of cells to create a second tier RNA/DNA which is the foundation of the human technological civilization? Because the human, equipped with new tools for carving things up, could begin to consume the body from which it had just emerged and would be driven by technological competition to consume it faster and faster to stay ahead. (Nations and tribes are mostly separated by differences in language or information as a result of evolving in relative isolation in the past. They are quasi-species in the technological system.) That’s where we are now, chimps that are mostly identical in cellular DNA that find separation based mostly upon differences in language, a feature of technological evolution. Due to leaky DNA-equivalent information like stolen plans, several of these different quasi-specie nations are also equipped with nuclear weapons for fighting over who will consume what remains to be eaten of the natural world and non-organics to be incorporated into the technological corpus.

    I have to kind of think, if there is some plan or way to reduce the pressure, by the release of some janky virus and follow on vaccines, which I don’t really think there is, I’d have to buy into it. When wide scale famines start to hit industrial centers (USA, Western Europe, Japan…), and I believe this is coming in the relatively near future, I guess we’ll find out, if the big bombs will be released that is.

    But maybe Europe, Japan, S.Korea, Africa, Etc…, will be allowed (forced)to starve first. That would be my plan, if I was in charge, but I’m not. If I was in charge the USA would have been rebuilding its industry over the last 30 years, not shipping it over to China. This what happens when you put the fucking bankers in charge. Oh well…

    10C warming locked-in

    “New research from eminent climate scientist Prof James Hansen and colleagues suggests a planet killing event. This is based on current CO2 levels in the atmosphere, not on future emissions. ‘Eventual global warming due to today’s GHG forcing alone – after slow feedbacks operate – is about 10°C.”

    Read the full paper here:

    ABSTRACT
    Improved knowledge of glacial-to-interglacial global temperature change implies that fast-
    feedback equilibrium climate sensitivity is at least ~4°C for doubled CO2 (2×CO2), with likely
    range 3.5-5.5°C. Greenhouse gas (GHG) climate forcing is 4.1 W/m2 larger in 2021 than in
    1750, equivalent to 2×CO2 forcing. Global warming in the pipeline is greater than prior
    estimates. Eventual global warming due to today’s GHG forcing alone – after slow feedbacks
    operate – is about 10°C. Human-made aerosols are a major climate forcing, mainly via their
    effect on clouds. We infer from paleoclimate data that aerosol cooling offset GHG warming for
    several millennia as civilization developed. A hinge-point in global warming occurred in 1970
    as increased GHG warming outpaced aerosol cooling, leading to global warming of 0.18°C per
    decade. Aerosol cooling is larger than estimated in the current IPCC report, but it has declined
    since 2010 because of aerosol reductions in China and shipping. Without unprecedented global
    actions to reduce GHG growth, 2010 could be another hinge point, with global warming in
    following decades 50-100% greater than in the prior 40 years. The enormity of consequences of warming in the pipeline demands a new approach addressing legacy and future emissions. The essential requirement to “save” young people and future generations is return to Holocene-level global temperature. Three urgently required actions are: 1) a global increasing price on GHG emissions, 2) purposeful intervention to rapidly phase down present massive geoengineering of Earth’s climate, and 3) renewed East-West cooperation in a way that accommodates developing world needs.”

      When Ellul’s work first began to be published in United States in the 1960s and 70s, his readers fell into two camps – his sociological fans and his theological fans, each often unaware of Ellul’s ‘other side’. For Ellul, the separation was deliberate. Science should not be confused with theology and vice versa. The business of sociology is to analyze the causal chains that determine our lives. It cannot provide, in itself, the way to freedom. Necessity is the product of the sacralization of society which seduces humans into embracing our utopian hope that technology can fulfill our wildest hopes and dreams for the good things of life. So enthralled, we become blind and unable to challenge its determinisms. We seek the wonders produced by nuclear power and end up threatened with global annihilation. We seek the abundance technology can produce and end up with global pollution and global warming. Such is the paradox created by our utopian hopes.

      What The New Demons does is demythologize modern technological civilization by noting its similarities to pre-biblical ancient societies. The response to the powers of technology is analogized to the sacral awe attributed to the powers of nature in polytheism. The function of politics is analogized to the function of ritual in polytheistic societies; conforming people to a sacred social order. And the function of mass media is analogized to the materialist/consumerist elements of polytheistic myths that invoke the gods to bring prosperity and the acquisition of the goods of life. Finally, Ellul adds his “Coda to Christians” where for the first time in his sociological writings he suggests that the answer to these paradoxes must come from outside the sociological frame of reference — in a theology that offers an apocalypse of hope, desacralizing “the sacred heart of a technical universe” and initiating a cultural revolution which liberates us from the sacred and sanctifies or makes holy the world we live in.

      They are the “Science” and the technology, the modern God. Fauci said so. Besides the most holy jabs, I think there are more sacraments to come. Maybe a sprinkling of holy glowing radioisotopes. In my mind I see this book laying in the middle of a rubble strewn street with burnt edges, it’s pages blowing in the wind. There are no longer any humans to read it. They didn’t read it when the cancer was only in Stage 2.

      1. I shall savour the futilty of Ellul’s prescriptions for spiritual renewal as I read, although I doubt he’d be surprised at the trajectory of the last 50 years. Dreams of total renewal have mostly led to slaughter on a larger scale than usual anyway….

    It also helps being able to repair or re-bind them. A nice element of surprise in seeing what turns up, too. Must be dull to be able to order new whatever you want.

      1. It’s not a musty shop, although the business dates from the 1890’s: the Keynes brothers bought their books there as students and later.

        The truly musty dusty one was a threat to health in the winter,but I enjoyed chatting to the owner over biscuits: it died with the internet, as book orders even from the College across the street came by email!

        The owner is triple-injected and oddly enough terrified of sudden death, which actually happened to his father when young – he nose-dived into a pile of books. If he goes, the business dies with him. I warned him gently, but he didn’t listen, wanting to go on holiday.

        There used to be a bookshop from the days of Lord Byron, gone about 20 years now, like all the old old businesses.

        Mobile phones, fashion and restaurants rule.

        Even the impressive bank where Wittgenstein stashed musical manuscripts closed, but it did at least become a College library. The designs of those old banks alone are a testament to a vanished real prosperity.

        When I arrived as a student in the late 80’s there were many more real, non-chain bookshops and it felt like an ancient University town, at least in the main street; not so now.

        2. Once in Brighton, over twenty years ago, I passed a dusty and unpromising storefront with books, decided to go in there and found the bibliomaniac’s paradise: a 200m2 warehouse crammed with shelves with books on everything from art to zoology , and at ridiculous prices.
          I seriously wondered if Brighton was the Purgatory where all the rejected books in the world go, waiting for a second or third chance. I arrived at Heathrow with 12 kilos of books that aroused the suspicion of the customs agent, who scrutinized them thoroughly in search of drugs or bombs, incredulous that anyone would want to take home the likes of Robert Graves or Robert Frost.
          Meanwhile, my bibliomania has improved a lot, and today more books leave my house (some through the chimney) than those that enter.

  37. The ATP in the human body can be thought of as an analog to water vapor in the atmosphere, molecules temporarily suspended at a higher energy level through agitation by the Sun (indirectly for ATP via photosynthesis and glucose) poised to fall back to earth as they release their temporary energy gains. The rain will flow into rivers and then to the lowest point or sea by gravity while the human will take a more circuitous route in search of food, striving desperately to avoid their own final resting place by recharging their ADP to ATP. Unfortunately many starve while others step on their bones en route to their next meal.

    If given a choice, I’m not sure those that have passed would choose to be resurrected back to what is in effect a bloody energy battleground populated mostly by greedy and merciless dissipative competitors (reference current pharmaceutical genocide and Ukraine war as examples). Better to stay comfortably below ground detached from the muffled struggles, screams, tears and disappointments found above, brought to us by evolution’s extremes. Better yet is to not “be” at all.

    And it all finds its origin in the electrons of molecules shaken out of their comfortable orbits by the Sun’s radiation which subsequently release that energy as they return to lower energy states. A rain storm or a human searching for food, one relatively simple and one relatively complex (DNA), are cousins in the dissipative phenomena active in the liquid and gas layers surrounding the terra firma of the Earth. It becomes more and more apparent that humans, even along their technological tangent, are nothing “special” in the Universe, but are simply more complex mechanisms for the release of temporarily trapped energy of the Sun.

Leafing through the poems of Wilfrid Owen the WW1 poet, I came across one on just that theme: contemplating a newly-dead – but not too mangled – comrade, he asks why all the trouble of evolution, the long slow climb, why create a creature like Man at all? hat purpose can it serve? War being just a more vivid and accelerated version of the endless churn of birth and mortality.

Nature wants to build something, build anything, something rigid and bereft of surplus energy. Or even better, a dissipative structure that is always using that structure to fight for energy to release into the void. Hence, the dead comrade.

The portion of the genome where the rRNA are produced in number, the nucleolus, doesn’t need to teach them how to read information and slap together amino acids, it’s built into their electromagnetics. But the human cannot rely upon electromagnetic bonding. Their brain must be prepared to use information. The spoken language comes naturally, but the written takes more training. They must also become adept at using their hands and having hand-eye coordination while overall developing an analog model of the world. Then they can do meaningless, mindless repetitive work just like their cellular RNA equivalents.

In the past, anything standing in the way of more growth and loan-making was eliminated, communism being an especially negative force. But see how they brought China around to capitalism and growth. Even the recalcitrant Russia was brought into their capitalist fold. Now it seems that anyone that can potentially lay claim to their accumulated wealth is to be eliminated.

      A typical gambit was to throw a budget, or a project, out in front of the elected body. If it got a pass, and they usually knew what skids to grease, then great, they got what they wanted. If not, and things went somehow awry, they had plenty of targets to point their fingers at. Meanwhile, they, the bureaucrats, would go about thier business, maybe wait for the next group of Polls to be elected. They were (are) very good at playing the game, lot’s of practice.

    3. There are three levels of “state”. The public state that everyone thinks is in charge and that we ostensibly vote for. This includes the unelected bureaucracy. The security state with the central node of that being what’s called a foreign intelligence agency but is really more of a state sanctioned mafia. This institution is probably where the mass media is centrally conducted from in secret. Lastly there is the deep state, which is centered in finance capital, although it inolves all other types of capital as well. Banking magnates run the deep state, presidents and prime ministers are intermediaries between the real ruling order and the sheeple.

      The system is fundamentally a con artist system. Nothing is what it really appears to be. Perception is constantly manipulated and reality is hidden. The history of the nation is false and misleading. Lots of layers of complexity to hide what’s really going on underneath, just like in money laundering.

      The existential problem for the bankers is worker’s consent, so class warfare. In a perfect world there would be no need for worker’s consent. With fusion energy and A.I. you can remove workers and use the limitless energy to power robots. No need for pesky things like a high standard of living for workers who are destroying your environment and protesting against your quest for full spectrum dominance.

      With capitalism the main means of keeping the domestic population pacified is with endless distractions. Watching sports and entertainment. Silly political drama. Sex and drugs. Celebrity gossip. Chasing all sorts of material things you don’t really need, helping to distract attention away from the ruling order and provide capitalists with an added opportunity to profit from the distraction. But the world has limits to growth and this system of providing endless material distraction has reached it’s limits. So how else are you supposed to keep the population in line? I suppose we are seeing that plan unfold before our eyes, the great reset. No more mister nice guy.

In addition to the mass slaughter of chickens because of the bird flu, even though the bird flu is all over the place in wild bird populations, there was yet another mysterious fire at an egg plant in Connecticut. The Deep State also seems quite adept at starting fires in Russia.

    I’ve also been watching the current Netflix series, “The Last of Us”, about a fungal pandemic that ravages the world. I think it’s the most shameless Deep State production yet with plenty of quarantine zones, infected zombies, special testing devices, gratuitous homo sex, etc. The two gays featured in episode three even commit suicide because of an illness unrelated to the pandemic fungus. Only the Zionists could have funded something like that. Some say that the perpetrators like to warn people of their plans in advance. One character asks how the fungal pandemic spread so rapidly and another character says they “it was in the food that everyone ate.” The entire series seems to be an exercise in predictive programming. It’s been reported that the chicken feed readily available at large suppliers like Purina are interfering with egg laying. Could they seed something like the flour supply with some particularly nasty, engineered Mucor sp. or Aspergillus sp. spores? A little finisher for those already immunocompromised by Covid and the “vaccines”? Theoretically, yes they could and the fungal spores are highly resistant.

    It is so vast – an attack from every conceivable angle, an up-turning, subversion and corruption of everything – that even a sober account with solid evidence would sound insane.

    Moreover, anyone being introduced to it would probably reject it, lest they go mad themselves.

The ceremonial ant mounds that humans cooperatively built in early civilizations focused authority sufficiently in a priestly class to get things done like roads and other infrastructure of ecosystem plunder. Plenty of humans were sacrificed to those Gods that inhabited the heavens, which at that time were fuzzy enough to hide their real celestial and orbital identities. “Oomph, ungawa, the Gods have spoken. We need more jaguar skins, delicious meat of pygmy, beautiful feathers and young girls here at the temple. Now get busy or be struck down by the wrath of God.” And so it was for many years until the people realized they were being played.

    2. It makes me think of Issac Newton, arguably one the smartest people who ever lived. Anyhoo, I guess that when he wasn’t busy devising the calculus, and figuring out laws of motion and gravity and such, he was busy speculating and losing money in various markets, and dabbleing in occultism.

    1. “What hasn’t changed is humans are still running Wetware 1.0 which has default settings for extremes of emotion, particularly manic euphoria, running with the herd (a.k.a. FOMO, fear of missing out) and panic / fear.”

      When you’re on the left, ascending side of the bubble graph all you can see is the continuous growth and good times. The descending side is hidden from you. For all you know it doesn’t exist. It feels good emotionally to think that “the price of houses always goes up” or something else emotionally satisfying. Even on the other side of the graph people might still be looking towards the former peak and say, “Well look, it’s not so bad, prices will go up again.” But the descent continues back to the mean which, in the case of civilization, will likely be determined by the amount of sunlight that can directly or through biomass be fed into the dissipative structures which will have new climate change stresses put upon them. Civilization might settle somewhere below the long-term mean with ninety-nine percent less people and no houses at all, at least in their current form since we’ve already stripped away much of the vegetation and soil that were going to fix the carbon into some glucose for us and our food chain to eat. Newton should have invested in the East India Company instead of tulips. I wonder if Stephen Hawking had a Beanie Baby collection.

      I think all of the debt and printed money makes people expect the altitude to increase forever because, after all, it’s a “thirty-year” bond.

    “The entirety of my work is to show that the current plan (green energy) is not a very good one. Who I’m really talking to are the people that control our society. And I’m talking about the banking sector. They’re interested in two-percent growth per annum or don’t bother coming. I actually heard them say that. Alright, and they believe anyone’s money is as good as anyone else. They will not move on change until they can say show us how to make money out of this or show us how to destroy a competitor. I actually heard them say that. They believe that the fallback position is the green transition, but because they haven’t done it yet, they’re still doing the ICE system, and they haven’t done it yet, they actually haven’t worked-out that there are some practical limitations that really needed to be addressed.”

  52. It seems that both organic and rRNA humans spend a lot of time and energy building and occupying cells connected by distribution infrastructure. Why is that? I seems more important at the level of the organic cell where levels and numbers of molecules cannot be allowed to vary from an ideal. The metabolism must be enclosed. And also it is a space managed for homeostasis. I suppose too that the technological cell serves similar purposes providing a controlled environment for metabolism or work. Inside the cells humans can work on the information and come-up with new ideas for products and ideas for the growth of new cells. What for? Probably for no other reason than there is a continuous supply of energy for dissipation for those that do. Any long interruption in the dissipation of energy and you disappear from the scene or fall off the stage into death or extinction. And humans have evolved to mostly be in cells. That’s why people busy themselves building cells, planning new products and working in cells, because their cut of the energy flow can supports a home cell and provides food for all their little homey organic cells. Even the farmer works in a cell on wheels.

    The little RNA in organic cells began creating multicellular organisms that needed distribution and waste disposal systems. And then after billions of years of relative ecological stability, due to a confluence of repurposed organs, the human organism was selected by evolution to inhabit its own cells and use an additional set of information. The technological cells, full of bustling human RNA, spread everywhere. The new technological enzymes or tools produced by the cells and their humans worked wonders at digesting the natural world and in accessing the energy rich deposits from days gone by. More cells, more distribution and more complexity was invented, like pet rocks and doggie sweaters, anything to get a cut of the energy. And then it became clear that creating all of those cells that provided support for all of those people may not have been a very good idea, especially since the energy it depended upon was limited.

    And then there was not enough of a cut of energy for the average human RNA to afford a home cell or a car or food. They loaded everyone down with glucose receptors but there was no longer enough glucose in circulation. Cells began to die or go bankrupt. RNA that spent their whole young lives in the nucleolus preparing for work and wishing to create more lucrative complexity, had nothing to do. The lights went out and the homeostasis thermostat no longer worked. Leaders wondered what to do with all of the excess human RNA and the dead cells that soon littered the landscape. And just as all seemed lost a virus was born and many of the RNA began to wither and die and their cells were put out of business and more glucose receptors were handed-out for free. But unfortunately the leaders put the final nail in the coffin by trying to establish a surveillance and control system that would monitor every RNA and every cell and organelle, an incredible addition of complexity right when it was completely unaffordable. And then the lights went out for good and the remaining organisms were once again on even footing in a recovering ecosystem.

Even though we are capable of building a broader awareness of reality, most people will be totally caught by surprise as the starvation commences and will be busily at work when the heart stops and the glucose/oxygen stop arriving at the office/factory door.

The universe doesn’t allow them to stay in an excited state and the biochemistry of plant cells pinball them through various molecular machinery to maintain the order that is itself. When the electron is finally settled and the initial visible light energy is exhausted as infrared waves, the cell has among other things created more fuel, glucose and later ATP. But even though the electron has reached a new ground state and infrared has been radiated, some of the energy is stored for a further journey to the ground state, notably from ATP to ADP.

    The conversion of ATP to ADP serves many energy requiring metabolic needs. A major one is muscle contraction in which ATP is converted to ADP in synchrony in the contraction of muscle fibers. Overall, the contraction of muscle fibers cannot be occur without a goal, a goal that emanates from the brain. The primary goal must be to acquire energy, mostly through the ingestion of tissues of other animals to create glucose to reset ADP to ATP at the mitochondrion. There is no choice. Life is a constant feeding and replenishment cycle and human behavior is no different in essence than the electron taking a circuitous route back to its ground state. The human is specified to walk the earth searching for energy to serve its own cellular needs. If the human behavior fails to eat, then the body will consume its own capital of tissues before death.

    And that is why the human experience is one of greed and self-promotion. It’s not really a choice, but a feature as each human dissipative structure pinballs through life from one location to another, working the technological machinery and working other humans and animals so that they may eat again. And this is also why humans are so intent on saving wealth, so as to never run out of the essential energy. Evolution and the universe wouldn’t have it any other way. The base human wealth of carbohydrates is seen as interchangeable with the wealth of hydrocarbons since the latter is a coequal fuel in the human technological system. The human RNA eats carbohydrates and the technological system eats hydrocarbons, many of which are expended to foster the production of an adequate supply of carbohydrates. It’s been posited that ten calories worth of hydrocarbons are used to create one calorie of carbohydrate.

    The technological system in which humans are enmeshed uses hydrocarbons instead of carbohydrates to drive its processes. The technological system must also constantly search for hydrocarbons and through their combustion, similar to muscles, things are moved. Gases expand, pistons move, crank shafts crank and wheels turn. Much of the movement is dedicated to producing and delivering hydrocarbons to the human RNA that work within its cells and to maintaining homeostatic environments for them to reside. One particularly important hydrocarbon is diesel (C16H34). It makes all types of things move like trucks, trains, tractors and even ships (bunker fuel) and of course its cousins, gasoline and aviation fuel, create much more movement, although somewhat less productive. The carbohydrate glucose (C6H12O6) is the ingredient for making ATP which in turn makes humans move.

    All of the movement of humans and technology can be thought of as a complex circuit running from the Sun, through the earth’s biosphere and back into space. The fossil fuels had acted as a long-term capacitor which is now being depleted by the human RNA with their technological tools. The circuit back into space is finally completed. As the capacitor is depleted so too will be the amount of technological mass that can be moved around (factories, cars, tractors, trucks, trains etc.) and human acquisition of carbohydrates (proteins and other nutrients) will no longer be adequately supported. There may even be an intentional effort underway to collapse the system to allow a provisioning of a much smaller population with an equally small hydrocarbon and carbohydrate budget. It’s hard to imagine what this might look like, but the World Economic Forum has provided some hints with 15-minute cities, own nothing and be happy and absolute control of individual energy production and consumption. The free-wheeling days of growth and consumption are coming to an end and as Bill Gates said, “They won’t do it voluntarily.” I think he’s right about that since the human dissipative is programmed by evolution to want and compete for more and any impediment is seen as a threat to life and liberty. Since the changes will not be readily accepted, they are being imposed. However, that doesn’t mean they won’t be resisted at each step along the way or that the entire “Great Reset” program won’t fail. Either way, there is failure of one sort or another in civilization’s future simply due to lack of energy and the decreasing productivity of technological, hydrocarbon agriculture.

    1. This article gets kind of strange near the end, blabbering on about phonecians/babylonian bloodlines and other stupid shit. Most of it is interesting but apparently conspiracy theorists like to mix in fantastical bullshit with serious topics. I don’t know why. It’s like their mind is so open their brain occasionally falls out.

    Miles Mathis is weirdly lucid and not lucid at the same time. He sometimes has a very sharp understanding of the nature of the western ruling order and notable events. Then he strangely peppers his articles with his bizarre belief that the phonecian navy is behind it all for the last 3000 years. He also see’s old world family ties everywhere which seems accurate sometimes and other times very long-winded.

    I guess that’s the price I pay for going down the “conspiracy theory” rabbit hole.

    None of his articles are energy or overshoot aware but still interesting for a curious cat like me. I have to filter through his stuff because a lot of it is ridiculous.

    1. Tracing such far-stretched genealogical ties and concluding they mean something can lead to lunacy: for instance, I’m related by marriage to the descendants of Christopher Columbus, who built one of the grandest palaces in 19th century Madrid and were painted by Goya. Similarly, my family shared a common ancestor with the Plantagenet dynasty in the 10th century.

      It’s fair enough to say that they enjoyed varying degrees of power and owned land for a thousand years at least. None of that makes me royal, grand, or any part of an inherited cabal dominating world history – I Just offer it for illustration.

      These links are simply commonplace among the comparatively small historic landowning class.

      Once you extend the dragnet, as the loonies do, beyond that class you get utter nonsense like William marrying Kate because she is, secretly, ‘one of them’ on the basis of an 18th c ancestor having been the cousin twice removed of the bastard younger son of minor gentry who bedded a milk maid. It’s all tosh.

      I’m certainly not benefiting from the Luciferian Masonic Globalist Phoenician mafia as far as I know, except from being an average spoiled citizen of the West who got some nice crumbs from the pie, soon to be cut off.

      But then, I would say that, wouldn’t I………..?

    1. How did the bankers let that one get away? Maybe because Cuba didn’t have enough resources to fight over. What if the Cubans of Cuba lived like the Cubans of South Florida? They would probably be a lot happier for a while. Cigars for everyone. The only way Fidel could remain in power and retard consumption for the dissipatives of Cuba was by force. Dissipatives will always vote themselves a better life.

      1. Part of the deal for ending the Cuban missile crises was that the United States would not invade Cuba, that’s how they got away.

        Cuba had enough resources to fight over them the first time around in the 1892 Spanish-American war. I mean we invaded Grenada in the 1980’s and they don’t have shit. I’m sure we would fight over any sandbar in the ocean.

        Castro didn’t really retard consumption they just ran out of oil. Cuba had a Soviet subsidized supply of oil in the beginning before they collapsed and it all dried up. After that Hugo Chavez came to power in Venezuela in the late 1990’s and saved them with another subsidized supply. The problem was they were too industrialized in their agricultural mode of production because they were copying the energy intensive Soviet model which was very wasteful. Same thing happened to North Korea too but without any Venezuela to save them and with catastrophic results. Eventually Cuba will run out of oil when Venezuela does unless the Russians want to subsidize them again.

        The rationing system that communist countries create are terrible for commercial growth and efficiency but are actually quite resiliant when it comes to crises. America and Britain rationed food during World War 2 and it was actually less wasteful if not monotonous.

        The Cubans of Cuba were living in a mafia state before Castro. Thanks to Castro the mafia moved to Los Vegas and the CIA drug supply now moves through Haiti and Central America along with all of the cartel and gang violence. At the end of the day Cuba is a safer and more stable country than most other Carribean, Central, or South American states. They are not any poorer than Guatemalans, El Salvadorians, or Hatians and still have better healthcare, education, and labor rights.

        Women can also abort their fetus’s, use contraception, and birth control now that they’re liberated from the regressive Catholic Church. Sometimes it’s a good thing to oppress religious institutions since they would oppress others in turn. In El Salvador women have been sentenced to prison for miscarriages on suspicion of illegal abortions. In Cuba you can abort defective fetus’s including down syndrome ones. It helps to reduce healthcare costs, something they won’t be doing in Florida.

        In Cuba, a parent’s decision to disown an LGBT child is considered domestic violence and punished accordingly. Same sex marriage is legal. Prostitution is legal.

        Some people consider humane and rational laws essential to a better life. I was born and raised in Saudia Arabia. It was a rich country with public beheadings, religious police, women head to toe covered, death penalty for drugs, and five times a day public prayer. Having all that cheap subsidized fuel at the gas tank didn’t make expatriates want to stay any longer than they needed to, although admittedly they did go there to work for good pay. The only people who liked it were religious fanatics, which is what Catholic Latin America is full of.

        There isn’t even enough electricity for surveillance cameras and cell phone towers. It’s the Carribean, how bad can it be? In any case all goverments exist on their own might. Might makes right is no different any where else in the world. At least their vaccines don’t cause heart attacks.

      White man bad. And her doctor told her she needed one more booster because it would be terrible if she caught Covid with her heart condition. Later the funeral director said, “What a shame”, as he closed the lid on the lifeless corpse.
