person of the year 2022: a no-brainer for idiots. We predicted it on 17 may 2022....AS USUAL TIME MAGAZINE FALLS INTO THE SLOP. IN 1936, HITLER WAS ON THE FRONT COVER AND BY 1938, HE WAS THE PERSON OF THE YEAR. HOPEFULLY, ZELENSKY WILL VANISH IN THE SAME MANNER AS HIS IDOL (HITLER/BANDERA) BEFORE HE SETS THE WORLD ON FIRE. LET’S NOT BE COY ABOUT THIS TURD. HE HAS PUSHED NATO TO START WW3 WITH RUSSIA. HE HAS PUSHED NATO TO USE NUKES AGAINST RUSSIA. PLEASE!
NOTE THAT TIME MAGAZINE HAD TO TART THE COVER UP WITH A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE TO PUSH THE POINT HOME, JUST IN CASE A SIMPLE PHOTO OF VOLODYMYR WOULD NOT SUFFICE.
strikes in the UK and other energy crisis......UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said he will support “tough new laws”targeting labor actions, even suggesting an outright ban on walkouts by certain employees, after thousands of emergency workers announced upcoming strikes demanding pay raises amid soaring inflation. Addressing MPs on Wednesday, Sunak warned that a wave of imminent strikes in multiple sectors, including healthcare and public transit, would cause major disruptions, saying he is prepared to do “whatever I need to do” to prevent work stoppages in vital industries.
the EU good kind.....EU nation MP hires witch aide Many warlocks and witches are actively involved in Latvia’s politics, the witch insists... Latvian MP Nataļja Marcenko-Jodko has hired a prominent local witch and ‘healer’ as her aide, official data on the website of the country’s parliament – the Saeima – shows. Her name is Sanita Petere, but she is more commonly known as the “White Witch.” Latvian media outlets reached out to the witch herself for comment, with Petere insisting that the country’s parliament was just the right place for a woman in her line of business.
das atomik boot....The defence ministers of Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States have met for the first time, endorsing a “pathway” to deliver nuclear-powered submarines. Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles met with US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin and British Secretary of State for Defence Ben Wallace in Washington DC under the AUKUS pact announced by then-prime minister Scott Morrison in September 2021. In a joint statement, they said the three nations “reiterated their shared commitment to the partnership and reviewed progress on identifying a conventionally armed, nuclear‑powered submarine for the Royal Australian Navy”. The statement expressed confidence the leaders of the three countries would make an announcement early next year. They also agreed plans for joint military exercises in 2023 and 2024.
pig's farts.....National Cabinet is to consider capping the gas price at $12 when National Cabinet meets Friday. At that high price, the government is gifting super profits to the gas cartel at the expense of Australian customers and industry. A price of $7, new research shows, still leaves solid profits for gas producers. Is $12 the gas cartel number? Rex Patrick writes. National Cabinet will meet this Friday to discuss putting a $12 per gigajoule price cap on gas. But a new report released by the Institute of Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) shows that the right price for a cap is $7 dollar, not $12. The research will be released today.
the sorrow of soros' manipulations...Billionaire George Soros has financial ties to at least 253 media organizations worldwide, helping him to mold public opinion and insulate himself from criticism, a new study by a conservative US watchdog group has found. The 92-year-old, America’s biggest donor to Democratic political candidates and leftist causes, has built connections with press outlets and activist media organizations by bankrolling them through his not-for-profit groups, the Media Research Center (MRC) reported on Tuesday. The recipients of Soros’ money reach readers, viewers and listeners in virtually every corner of the world and in many languages.
unhealthy FBI......Last Friday, Elon Musk dropped the "Twitter Files" bombshell via journalist Matt Taibbi. He detailed how Democratic operatives and FBI execs censored the "laptop from hell" story and Team Biden's political opponents prior to the 2020 election. "The first batch of the Twitter Files proved that Twitter executives helped Joe Biden cover up the fact that he lied about not knowing anything about his son Hunter's business dealings. In fact, he not only knew about those dealings but was involved in them," Hans Mahncke, a US investigative journalist and co-host of "Truth Over News" on EpochTV, told Sputnik.

of racism......This week’s issue [18 November 2022] on the 75th anniversary of the transistor describes a triumph of both basic and applied science. What started out as studies on the fundamental physics of silicon led to the device that makes it possible to read this article online. The coinventor of the transistor, William Shockley, who along with John Bardeen and Walter Brattain won the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics, is correctly recognized as a primary architect of the computer age.
2022: the year america lost all respect*......A few days ago, a terrorist attack took place in the center of Istanbul, Turkey. The details aren't important and I won't tell you about them anyway because I'm not a media whore who empowers terrorists by giving them free publicity. What is important is Turkey's official reaction to the official American condolences that were offered after the fact: Turkey refused to accept them. The head of the Turkish Foreign Ministry, Süleyman Soylu, put it bluntly: We do not accept condolences from the US Embassy ».

the US hypocrisy on the war on "climate".......The world’s first scientific estimate of global military emissions is here: they are not only nearly the same as the carbon emitted from all the cars in the world, but they are also higher than the world’s biggest oil and gas exporter – Russia. Stupendous amounts of carbon dioxide emitted by the world’s militaries are playing a huge but invisible role in driving humanity toward climate catastrophe according to a new report published by Scientists for Global Responsibility (SGR) with the Conflict and Environment Observatory (CEOBS).
the same egoic patternings as humans since the roman empire....I don’t desire a future for humanity like the ones imagined by our culturally designated future-imaginers. I don’t want humans living in Elon Musk Mars colonies or Jeff Bezos space cylinders. I don’t want us to fly out into the stars, to disappear into virtual reality universes, or to move away from our humanness by becoming cybernetic organisms. Not yet anyway. Not for a long time. Not until we’ve done what we need to do here first.

playing geopolitics....MOST WESTERN JOURNALISTS STAY CLEAR OF THE TRUE GEOPOLITICAL GAME BEING PLAYED IN UKRAINE AND TINKLE ON THE EDGES WITH STRANGE DEBATES... LUCKY, SOME PEOPLE LIKE GIRALDI, UNZ, RITTER, ESCOBAR, PILGER AND GREENWALD TO NAME A FEW — ALL serious JOURNALISTS — BALANCE THE VERY SAD NEWS OF PEOPLE BEING KILLED, WHICH FEED THE ANTI-RUSSIAN INTERVENTION IN THE WEST, AGAINST THE HISTORICAL TRIGGERS AND THE CHEATING OF THE AMERICAN EMPIRE IN THIS DREADFUL GAME... WE HAVE STAYED THE COURSE, BUT IT'S NOT EASY... SOMETIMES IT SEEMS THAT WESTERN JOURNALISTS ARE AFRAID OF VOICING AN OPINION FAVOURABLE TO PUTIN AS THEY ALL THINK ZELENSKY IS A GOD (HE IS A NAZI DANGEROUS TURD WHO WANTS NATO TO WAGE WAR WITH NUKES AGAINST RUSSIA). AT LEAST PAUL BARRY RECOGNISES THAT ON OTHER ISSUES SOME JOURNALISTS ARE VERY VERY VERY SLANTED TOWARDS A PARTICULAR WISH LIST.
automated police.....Police in San Francisco can now use robots to kill people. In an 8-3 vote by the city’s Board of Supervisors, the new policy grants the SFPD power to use lethal force via remote controlled robots. According to the police department it would now have the ability to deploy robots equipped with explosive charges “to contact, incapacitate, or disorient (a) violent, armed, or dangerous suspect” when lives are at stake, SFPD spokesperson Allison Maxie said in a statement.
more US secret wars.....U.S. military forces have been engaged in unauthorized hostilities in many more countries than the Pentagon has disclosed to Congress, let alone the public, according to a major new report released late last week by New York University School of Law’s Brennan Center for Justice.

happy new year.......Home owners are being told to brace for even higher mortgage bills in 2023 as the Reserve Bank’s inflation fight approaches a second year. The RBA unveiled an eighth interest rate hike at its final meeting of 2022 on Tuesday, lifting its target by another 0.25 percentage points to a decade high of 3.1 per cent. It capped off an unprecedented run of rate rises that’s seen more than $800 added to typical monthly mortgage bills for millions of households. As RBA boss Philip Lowe warns further increases will be needed to bring inflation down from three-decade highs, economists say families must now brace for at least another $200 in additional mortgage pain.
