Food bank …
FAST FOOD
Remember: ZH said they would halt rate increases in September 2022 …
(they were wrong then)
(I still think there’s a good chance they’re wrong here too)
Well, this is fun … (MOON SHOTS)

Implode or Explode — https://planetarystatusreport.com/?p=5669
Implode vs Explode is NOT all or nothing, it’s always a hybrid.
Implosions: tend to be less catastrophic in terms of EXTERNAL war, and more catastrophic internally.
Explosions: tend to be bad internally, but as bad or even worse in terms of neighbors.
Short, incomplete, list for discussion.
*** empires can also be destroyed by BIGGER empires … “consumption” or “subsumption” … this is a different topic …
- Explode: Austro-Hungarian
- Explode: Ottoman Empire
- Implode: the USSR
- Implode: the Spanish Empire
- Explode: Alexandrian Empire
- Implode: Roman Empire (multi-century implosion)

Hypothetical 2024 …
one more reason 2024, as years go, seems really hypothetical … lawsuits.
- people are losing jobs
- people, because of the built in fasting, are starting to think a little clearer
- people are hiring lawyers to sue the FUCK out of hospital systems

What I’ve said …
This is what I said in 2015, basically during a lunch conversation with other computer programmers: https://planetarystatusreport.com/pdf/20160729_Odds_Of_Survival.pdf
There’s too much fear mongering, too much manipulation, not enough good information. That’s where we’re at … I saw someone on social media posting some more fear porn today, a new thread, and it made me want to outline PRECISELY my position:
- TPTB are managing a fuzzy event which was/is expected to occur in a five year window, starting in late 2019.
- BEST CASE: the “fuzzy event” is the collapse of the USD/Petro-Dollar empire … this will likely trigger a worldwide depression lasting a few decades. It will be pretty bad, but not the end of the world. Just really fucking horrible. I think a worldwide famine is baked into the cake for the best case.
- WORST CASE: something, I don’t know what for sure, so bad that you’d gaslight billions of people for 3+ years using multiple high intensity military psychological warfare operations. The flavor of OP? – trauma based, mainly. As such, it’s a GOING OUT OF BUSINESS sale, setting fire to the restaurant, cover the escape and final thievery … and then what? – the elite are safe in their compounds, and the rest of us likely battle each other for scraps until something more awful than starvation kills us.
YOU ARE NOT POWERLESS – I’ve also said this.
YOU CONTROL your fate – even as a Christian, knowing GOD has a PLAN, I believe this.
And the ONLY WAY to manage the worst parts of what I describe? – liberty.
Liberty is not the “nice to have” later …
Liberty is how we avoid, possibly, an extinction level event.
Tyranny? – this is how the human race dies … not with a bang, but with a whimper.
But what WE DON’T NEED is more bullshit fear …
I don’t know for certain what is going on …
And, I could be wrong …
