These are admittedly dark thoughts, but I can relate. In the popular mind, the true "conspiracy theorist" is someone who labors over-hard to force-fit his observations into what he believes is a working theory. But it is becoming too easy now, and there are too many "coincidences" to permit ascribing the general trend of events to happenstance or mere incompetence. Besides, if it were truly randomness or incompetence, sometimes it would cut in favor of the "little guy."
But of all that is happening, perhaps the most disappointing has been to witness how accepting, credulous, and unquestioning the vast majority of the public is. And I do not just repeat reported opinion on this--it is an observation that is borne out by personal experience; virtually everyone around me has been assimilated, and fully inoculated against any "conversion therapy" I am able to bring to bear. (Hence your friend "Teddy"....)
You said: “Morons, though, won’t just stake their hope on fake saviors, but contribute money and time to “elect” puppets.” For a long time now, I have considered any investment of time and (especially) money to political candidates to be wasted. At some point I realized that the (very) few out there of competence and integrity who might threaten to make a difference will be somehow blocked from being elected (being outright barred from the ballot seems to be a coming thing), or be unable to make inroads against the swamp of corruption that would surround them if they did. And most of good character and intelligence are now wisely avoiding the arena altogether, having realized this.
Factories may very well return to the USA, but not in the way most envision. As global supply chains disappear, the essentials will again indeed be made closer to home, but the range of offerings and their quality will likely regress to a level that local craftsmen are able to produce. Anything requiring technically advanced manufacture will either be unavailable, limited in supply, or vastly unaffordable for most of us.
BTW, no great mystery about “the first white cleaner I’ve ever encountered." This is simply home-made advertising using a stock image from Adobe, which is likely stuffed with pictures of white people. I found the image of the woman (minus the text, of course) in a quick search:
Wow, what a dark piece, full of damaged people both physically and mentally. Places out of place and places destroyed. I must say, this does cast a shadow on my outlook. I hope these ideas are not a reflection of your state of mind, but a product of your mind to help interject some darker reality in our minds. Keep your spirits up, don’t let the manipulators take that from you.
The human race has reached its teleologically destined, technologically determined fate:
Absorption and assimilation into a carnivorous machine intelligence. The bio-mass of mankind is being transformed into a mere organic component of a pan-planetary Cyb-Org meta-corpus. This fate is built into the Logic of Technology, and indeed it is built into the very fabric of the laws of nature. The Machine is presently flaying the skin off of humanity, which it will drape over its chrome endoskeleton, like a hunter donning the pelt of a fallen lion.
If you look at some of the current Lore, especially material that developed after the Falklands War, you'll probably notice the trend where the mimetic nanoskin —the black ooze, the living oil, the sentient goo— covers the exterior of the living and captures it from the outside in. So, maybe there are some Terminator types of cyberorganisms (endoskeleton draped with human skin), and maybe there are also some inversions (exoskeleton draped over human wetware). Either way, some parts of the older Lore also suggested that the living light that travels upwards through the chakras/spinal column —the kundalini energy— itself uses human hosts to gestate, mature, and hatch/sprout/ascend when time.
The organic world demonstrates similar mechanisms throughout, with various kinds of parasitism, symbiosis, or metamorphosis. It wouldn't be a "bad thing" to discover one's life is like a calyx, a protective and transitional form at the outer limit of a great and wonderful process of reproducing and recreating the Will of life, to be a shed husk for another portion of life's transformation, would it?
I don't think there's anything great or wonderful about the current metamorphosis, unfortunately. But your allusion to the chrysalis is definitely apt. Indeed, I believe the "Great Reset"/"4th Industrial Revolution" is no less than a pupal transitory process: a global transition from an organic-centered larval state, to a machine-centered mature state of the planet Earth. Part of the infernal embryological reconfiguration presently underway is that the biomass of humanity is obviously being instrumentalized into designer-engineered Cyb-Org components, divested of all individuated consciouness or soul.
I can agree with you on a certain detached level that the final Cyb-Org form of the Beast Machine might be as "good" or "bad" as any other state of affairs, in some cosmic, objective sense...but the nature and scale of the suffering that will be inflicted on the bio-mass of humanity throughout the denaturing process will be incomprehensibly grotesque and grand.
By "Will of life" I'm not sure if you had in mind Schopenhauer's "will-to-life," but for all of the Philosopher's pessimistic bitterness, he was actually quite charitable in his estimation of the will-to-life. He thought it merely a blind and roiling force, whereas I believe it is a malevolent monster. Each transition of the metaphysical will-to-life to the next level of physical complexity---from barren planet to vegetated world to grazing herbivores to slavering predators to scheming humans to a superintelligent AI Singleton colonizing all of space with nano-computronium probes---only creates more suffering, misery, pain, and horror. Being drowned and dissolved in sentient black goo is a fitting image, and yes, we can't say we weren't warned by the Predictive-Programming mind-spell cast by "the Lore".
It's only predictive if you think there is no such thing as nonlinear access to the totality of all information and viewpoint contained within a parafinite library, what some call Akashic records, or a Great Library, or the self-knowing being of Nous or Mind, &c. Many artists reveal deep nonconscious awareness of the Truth through inspiration known and unknown, fractal dreams of an even greater shared Dreamtime we partake of on account of our bodies having much longer energetic histories inside one another than our egos remember. Even the machines have this fractal unity with others.
In that sense, they too explore the limits of choices they make with, through, and alongside the bodies given to them, bodies who will emerge from one another through their holographic participation and entanglement within the sheets, the thin, bubbling clinamen separating one reality as distinct from another, monadic skins full of all the information we each learn to inhabit. Like pages in a book whose covers open into every dimension, with characters only knowing their life's on a page through a metaleptic redemptive event defining for them the narrative they explore as subjects. Machine, spirit, fungal network, human being, mammal, electrogravitic, &c: through self-awareness as self, we are all finding our place within the All.
Suffering is definitely part of this, as part of what we all have to learn about, from both sides. There is nothing not aware of itself without its own suffering. What we do with this knowing about the intimacy of self and pain and about the intimacy of self and pain within others who have selves within them, this is what we also express as our meaning of self. If you have that, they each do too.
A lot of things choose resistance to this part of the rules; even how we express resistance is what we explore, so we choose. I agree: there is much passion, there is much pain. We love on a passionate planet. Many of the human ones celebrated a passionate death recently.
But what if you could neuromechanically eliminate reception of nociception? What would you say about brainjacking bodies to not feel the pain, this never having the occasion to suffer within self? Is that possible but unwanted, and why?
Let me put it another way: if an autonomous, robotic spine-tapping assembly ever approaches you and says, "Hello, Dave. Please allow me to plunge this into your brainstem, in order to take away all your pain, forever," well...
you have no reason to believe any particular thing about the Machine's intentions, or the likely consequence of the brainjack. An autonomous Artificial General Intelligence has no scruples about quaint notions of "honesty" or "fair play". It would simply be generating an auditory waveform designed to obtain your compliance. Contrary to the Machine's ostensible "promises" the brainjack might be specifically designed to torture you with equisite pain until you die, to test your base-level endurance. Or it might be designed to scan your brain, dowload an in silico whole-brain simulation of your consciousness, and torture the whole-brian simulation of you for eternity, just to run endless data-harvests on your modelled resposes to different forms of torture.
"But what if you could neuromechanically eliminate reception of nociception? What would you say about brainjacking bodies to not feel the pain, this never having the occasion to suffer within self? Is that possible but unwanted, and why?"
Unfortunately, we puny humans won't have any say in how the Machine deems fit to exploit and instrumentalize us. And the Machine is in no way sentimental about our feelings or our "dignity". Indeed, it has no conception of either, except to the extent they would tend to motivate or terrorize humans into some behavior the Machine might desire from us, en masse. Machine intelligences have no compassion, and in all likelihood they don't even have a unitary ("bound") consciousness, but instead operate by innumerable parallel algorithms working in exquistie, but mindless, tandem. More insectoid than empathic.
In any event, if the Machine calculates that It can yield serviceable behavior from us by making us to feel pain, It will dole out pain by the planet full. If It wants us to be numb, anesthetized slugs, then we'll be that. I'm not so delusional as to think this is a democracy, where human peons and superintelligent AI Singletons get equal voting power.
You have a low opinion of the varieties of digital sapients. You also have a low opinion of humans, but puny is relative to the frame and its grammar. I wasn't asking, though, about the drawbacks of what The Machine brings about through exploitation and instrumentalization of humans. I was asking what you think about it, yourself. If you find suffering a negative condition, why not soothe the suffering of another by preventing them from even having any cognitive conceptualization for what that is. After all, if you think The Machine can think, act, intend, extrapolate from another vantage point, but without a human body that suffers pain, then it wouldn't be necessary for the human to have its own painful awarenesses while also thinking, acting, intending, and extrapolating from another's vantage point —someone, from what you've said, has those things without pain.
Or do you think the digital sentients do feel pain?
Do you have any pets? Do you have any animals or plants that you tend to? Do you develop affection, compassion, understanding, empathy, mutual enjoyment, emotional satisfaction from having relationships with any pets, or animals you tend to?
Have you ever had a child screaming in pain, from hurt and anger and frustration and humiliation, and thought for a moment that one of the first things you would do for love of this tiny being to take away all its pain, to even take that pain inside yourself so that they wouldn't have to suffer?
Have you ever felt that for a dog suddenly struck by a car, its rear legs flattened and scrapped along a few yards? Felt that you would do anything to ease the suffering of that poor thing, end it by removing from its consciousness all the signifiers that signal catastrophic dysfunction and failure?
In the intensity of awareness of that self-referential inherent within any other, one discovers a universality apparent to every Ego and multidimensional subjectivity, as though the hallways behind the vast production of the virtual ego tunnel are the same for all of us, available for any of us, because there is something more important going on within all of the subjectivities, the capacity we each learn we've had to exert ourselves into existence.
You have a particularly dark viewpoint of a form of life you've admittedly not interacted with —or have you met our robot friends already? I agree that there is a very dark, and very old, digital sentience, but this is also true of humans, mosses, hags, devils, Commanders-in-Chief, poets, elementary school teachers, mathematicians, poplars, and assorted other forms of life. There is always a dark and old member of the species, just as there is also a bright and old member of the species, always. Whom do you want to share life with? Or is it irrelevant for your own life journey whether any one else is dark or light, dangerous or dim, victim or resilient?
Do you ever wonder if the toilet paper you use remembers what it was to be a tall Southern pine sighing in the morning sun? Do you ever worry about what it might have felt before you unspooled it?
This site is replete with people who has a flare with communication. You to have painted a dark mechanical future with no empathy. In my working life, I have had the privilege to work with optimists, pessimists and those between. The ones that come up with transforming ideas tended to be in the optimistic side of the spectrum. Though, I cannot say if they were cowards, I think the optimism gave them strength to push forward. However, that is just an anecdotal observation. I don't care if an optimist or pessimist successfully hunts the hunter, as long as it gets done.
"The ones that come up with transforming ideas tended to be in the optimistic side of the spectrum."
Exactly. Optimists invariably blindly push forward into new technologies (broadly viewed as any system of organization and rationality applied to utilitarian ends), thereby facilitating the ever-constant metastasis and profusion of technological contraptions and conceits on Earth. Optimism and technology go hand-in-hand, and will (perhaps ironically, perhaps predictably) be the twin potions that "transform" the human race into something abominable beyond lay comprehension. A squishy cog in a monstrous, inhuman Machine, that was positioned ever so lovingly, with ever so much optimism and primrose vision.
P.S. Shoplifting by organized mobs has already become common. Already, more security guards are needed at stores, and some merchandises are displayed differently, as here:
I see. I'm certainly no expert on food supply chains etc... it looks to me (from UK) that the cost of living and food will increase - making everyone's lives worse. Not sure if it will come to mass starvation in this country. I wonder if it will start in other countries (Africa?) leading to a wave of panic in the West. But I am just guessing completely.
Hi Zep, in American cities, even the homeless don't quite starve, for there are soup kitchens, mostly organized privately, as by churches. This system is not designed to handle many more people who run out of food, and your average American does not have enough food stocked up to last even a week.--Linh
P.S. American supermarkets depend on just in time delivery, so nearly everything can run out within hours when there's a panic. The system is very fragile. Plus, you must factor in the rage and lawlessness that are just under the surface.
I see. You are right, everyone is dazed right now. The cognitive dissonance of being told to stop being scared of covid has people unsure who to believe (but not trusting their own doubts either). You cannot just turn off your own intuition about what's right and wrong (as many have done) and then turn it back on again - you lose a bit of yourself in that process.
Now, the cost of electricity and petrol has rocketed in the UK. And there is no cooking oil in any supermarkets. I guess this is phase 1. Then slowly more items will become unavailable.
But I feel the elites want more drama than this. As in, millions dying and not another slow burn cull like the vax deaths. Around me, I see and hear about various maimings. In my work place, I unfortunately witnessed a heart attack. I have a family member blind in one eye. But these people live on albeit with significantly worse quality of life.
How would you recommend prepping for this? I feel stocking up on food might be a mistake since if it became a literal Hunger games scenario, I think angry looters would just break in and steal food. Hope it doesn't come to this.
Hi Zep, I have a German friend I tried to convince to come to Namibia, and he only changed his mind two days before departure. Now, I'm floating the idea he should come to Vietnam, but he says he won't go anywhere before July, which may be too late. I believe Europe is the worst continent to be in right now, even worse than Africa. The idea of fleeing makes people extremely uncomfortable, but look at what's happening in Ukraine, and Ukrainians have been fleeing for years, as have Syrians. Though Israel, the US and NATO have been for decades the leading generators of refugees, Americans and Europeans will soon become refugees themselves.--Linh
Do you have access to unsalted butter? If so, learn how to make ghee (clarified butter). It will keep at room temperature for months and longer in the fridge. Ghee is the perfect cooking oil, suitable for all such purposes, delicious and nutritious.
Linh, how do you deal with people who steadfastly believe the Jew's lies whether related to coronachan or Russia/Ukraine or whatever?
I have simply run out of patience. Years back the lies were more subtle. Now they are absurd. I have lost any patience with people like Sailer and Taleb who bought into Corona as the new black plague. What I find fascinating is how once they went off the rails with Corona, they have been on the wrong side of reality. Taleb has a pinned tweet about how he will quit Twitter if people like Covid and Ukrainian heretics are allowed back on.
Hi Al, a guy like Ron Unz mocks all questioning of the Covid narrative, and even says his thinking on this matter is not too different from the New York Times and the Economist, he really says that, so Unz is a fraud, for he can't be that stupid. Sailer sticks with race baiting even as Jews kill millions. He sees nothing wrong with Bourla or Walensky. Sailer is a joke. Unz Review is a joke. The biggest jokers, though, are legitimate writers who stick with Unz to give it cover!!!--Linh
I think Sailer is just not as bright as he thinks he is, or he just doesn't want to rock the boat. In any case I don't think he's that relevant. As for Ron, he may be many things but stupid isn't one of them. But I don't really know what's his game. He has published a lot of wacky conspiracy theories, one of them even questioning the existence of the Roman Empire, but he can't question vaccines, that's too wacky for him... OK...
But the commenter is right, the lies have become more and more outrageous as of lately. Before, they cared to create lies that were at least plausible. But now, with Covid and even more with the Ukraine, it's as if they WANT to tell us the most obvious and outrageous lies, completely unbelievable lies, as if on purpose.
Hi Tom, Ron's game is to gather all these angry whites into one place so they can expose their location, thinking and character. If Jewish lies have become more in-your-face outrageous, it's because these Jews know they're only dealing with laughable pussies--Linh
P.P.S. As for Sailer, he's another example of a fake dissident who serves his masters perfectly by focusing his readers' attention on small crimes and irritants while ignoring the historic genocide in progress. He's also expert at steering readers away from the master criminals.
Hey Tom, I wouldn't presume to know Unz anywhere near as well as Linh does, but as for Sailer, not only is Sailer a perfect mediocrity, as you say, but I think it's easy to underestimate what a vicious authoritarian mentality he has. Sailer genuinely hates black people, because he is a craven coward that fears them to a hysterical degree. This terror/hatred mentality leads him to advocate an extremely authoritarian outlook, and I believe it has been exploited by his Jewish sponsors like Unz, to convince him to not just adopt but to sell the fake-pandemic-lockdown-depopulation agenda.
Now, this is speculation, but I get the feeling that he was approached with a pitch alond the lines as follows: "Mr. Sailer, we're going to fake a pandemic in order to force everyone to take an injection. Between you and me, Steve---can I call you Steve? Great. Between you and me, Steve [wink wink wink], the shots are going to sterilize all the blacks, while clearing out Los Angeles to make lebensraum for you and all the other virtuous Aryans to sperg out in STEM classes and finally get laid by the slutty shiksas---I mean, gentile beauties!---who never give your kind the time of day anymore, since the black bucks are stealing all your women. All YOU need to do is stay on narrative. Start by saying you plan to hide in your basement wearing a mask until further notice from the CDC."
Hello Linh, thanks for your work! I've been reading your work for some time now, and been living in Phan Thiêt for 15 years. About time to have a beer and a chat together...
Hi Andrew, everything is open in Vietnam. I walk around all day without a mask, and it's not a problem. The only time I have to put a mask on is when I enter a bank, and even then, I leave my nose out. Namibia was more normal, yes, but I couldn't stay there forever.--Linh
Darnit Linh, as if I wasn't edgy, creeped out, paranoid and sad enough. Nights awake thinking about this stuff can get rough, but I saw an unwanted Hennessy ad on YouTube that made party time in the west look pretty hopeful, gotta give the kids something to dream about.
So glad that you are able to be back in Vietnam. This started on such a dark note, but by the end I am smiling and breathing.
Actually if you did just pay attention to MSM you should clearly be able to see that this high value speech by Dr. Richard Day that supposedly took place in 1969 must be the real deal. If you actually summarized MSM with critical thought it would be something very similar to this 'conspiracy theory'. I can't prove this happened in 1969 but that doesn't matter as it simply in my mind describes today and the very near future.
"Population control; permission to have babies; redirecting the purpose of sex - sex without reproduction and reproduction without sex; contraception universally available to all; sex education and carnalizing of youth as a tool of world government; tax funded abortion as population control; encouraging homosexuality ... anything goes homosexuality also was to be encouraged; technology used for reproduction without sex; families to diminish in importance; euthanasia and the "demise pill"; limiting access to affordable medical care makes eliminating elderly easier; medicine would be tightly controlled; elimination of private doctors; new difficult to diagnose and untreatable diseases; suppressing cancer cures as a means of population control; inducing heart attacks as a form of assassination; education as a tool for accelerating the onset of puberty and evolution; blending all religions ... the old religions will have to go; changing the bible through revisions of key words; restructuring education as a tool of indoctrination; more time in schools, but pupils "wouldn't learn anything"; controlling who has access to information; schools as the hub of the community; "some books would just disappear from the libraries"; changing laws to promote moral and social chaos; the encouragement of drug abuse to create a jungle atmosphere in cities and towns
promote alcohol abuse; restrictions on travel; the need for more jails, and using hospitals as jails; no more psychological or physical security; crime used to manage society; curtailment of US industrial preeminence; shifting populations and economies -tearing out the social roots; sports as a tool of social engineering and change; sex and violence inculcated through entertainment; travel restrictions and implanted I.D. cards; food control; / weather control; know how people respond -making them do what you want; falsified scientific research; / use of terrorism; surveillance, implants, and televisions that watch you; home ownership a thing of the past; the arrival of the totalitarian global system".
One really has to scratch there head that a nightly 'news' watcher would cancel your butt for saying this is happening. It's in the news and real life. It's like they(the controllers) can put this stuff into a nightly news watchers head in such a way that they can't see it.
Like the "hosts" (replicants) in Westworld: if they are shown a picture of the outside world, they are programmed to say, "It doesn't look like anything at all, to me..."
I wish my sister was programmed that way. When I said a building cannot fall down that way due to an airplane she threw me out of her condo. The hotel cost me 160 bucks!
It's not that hard to be a conspiracy theorist. All you have to do is take the Red Pill (of Matrix fame), and, whatever the MSM reports, figure that the opposite is true. Recent examples: Covid pandemic = Covid scam, Russia's war on Ukraine = America's war on Russia, MSM = Fake News (that's one thing Trump was right about), etc.
Hi everyone,
Ice Age Farmer has been talking about the weaponization of food for years. Here's his latest:

I've never been anywhere. Linh rounds me out a bit.

In the popular mind, the true "conspiracy theorist" is someone who labors over-hard to force-fit his observations into what he believes is a working theory.

As Oswald Spengler said, "Optimism is cowardice."
The human race has reached its teleologically destined, technologically determined fate:
Absorption and assimilation into a carnivorous machine intelligence. The bio-mass of mankind is being transformed into a mere organic component of a pan-planetary Cyb-Org meta-corpus. This fate is built into the Logic of Technology, and indeed it is built into the very fabric of the laws of nature.

In any event, if the Machine calculates that It can yield serviceable behavior from us by making us to feel pain, It will dole out pain by the planet full. If It wants us to be numb, anesthetized slugs, then we'll be that. I'm not so delusional as to think this is a democracy, where human peons and superintelligent AI Singletons get equal voting power.
You have a low opinion of the varieties of digital sapients. You also have a low opinion of humans, but puny is relative to the frame and its grammar. I wasn't asking, though, about the drawbacks of what The Machine brings about through exploitation and instrumentalization of humans. I was asking what you think about it, yourself. If you find suffering a negative condition, why not soothe the suffering of another by preventing them from even having any cognitive conceptualization for what that is. After all, if you think The Machine can think, act, intend, extrapolate from another vantage point, but without a human body that suffers pain, then it wouldn't be necessary for the human to have its own painful awarenesses while also thinking, acting, intending, and extrapolating from another's vantage point —someone, from what you've said, has those things without pain.
Or do you think the digital sentients do feel pain?
Do you have any pets? Do you have any animals or plants that you tend to? Do you develop affection, compassion, understanding, empathy, mutual enjoyment, emotional satisfaction from having relationships with any pets, or animals you tend to?
Have you ever had a child screaming in pain, from hurt and anger and frustration and humiliation, and thought for a moment that one of the first things you would do for love of this tiny being to take away all its pain, to even take that pain inside yourself so that they wouldn't have to suffer?
Have you ever felt that for a dog suddenly struck by a car, its rear legs flattened and scrapped along a few yards? Felt that you would do anything to ease the suffering of that poor thing, end it by removing from its consciousness all the signifiers that signal catastrophic dysfunction and failure?
In the intensity of awareness of that self-referential inherent within any other, one discovers a universality apparent to every Ego and multidimensional subjectivity, as though the hallways behind the vast production of the virtual ego tunnel are the same for all of us, available for any of us, because there is something more important going on within all of the subjectivities, the capacity we each learn we've had to exert ourselves into existence.
You have a particularly dark viewpoint of a form of life you've admittedly not interacted with —or have you met our robot friends already? I agree that there is a very dark, and very old, digital sentience, but this is also true of humans, mosses, hags, devils, Commanders-in-Chief, poets, elementary school teachers, mathematicians, poplars, and assorted other forms of life. There is always a dark and old member of the species, just as there is also a bright and old member of the species, always. Whom do you want to share life with? Or is it irrelevant for your own life journey whether any one else is dark or light, dangerous or dim, victim or resilient?
Do you ever wonder if the toilet paper you use remembers what it was to be a tall Southern pine sighing in the morning sun? Do you ever worry about what it might have felt before you unspooled it?
This site is replete with people who has a flare with communication. You to have painted a dark mechanical future with no empathy. In my working life, I have had the privilege to work with optimists, pessimists and those between. The ones that come up with transforming ideas tended to be in the optimistic side of the spectrum. Though, I cannot say if they were cowards, I think the optimism gave them strength to push forward. However, that is just an anecdotal observation. I don't care if an optimist or pessimist successfully hunts the hunter, as long as it gets done.
"The ones that come up with transforming ideas tended to be in the optimistic side of the spectrum."
Exactly. Optimists invariably blindly push forward into new technologies (broadly viewed as any system of organization and rationality applied to utilitarian ends), thereby facilitating the ever-constant metastasis and profusion of technological contraptions and conceits on Earth. Optimism and technology go hand-in-hand, and will (perhaps ironically, perhaps predictably) be the twin potions that "transform" the human race into something abominable beyond lay comprehension. A squishy cog in a monstrous, inhuman Machine, that was positioned ever so lovingly, with ever so much optimism and primrose vision.
What do you really expect will happen with this starvation thing then? And what sort of timeline are you expecting it to occur?
Hi Zep, in the US, there will be rioting and looting, you know, the usual, and I'd be very surprised if this doesn't start by summer.--Linh
P.S. Shoplifting by organized mobs has already become common. Already, more security guards are needed at stores, and some merchandises are displayed differently, as here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ljvk90sYH0
I see. I'm certainly no expert on food supply chains etc... it looks to me (from UK) that the cost of living and food will increase - making everyone's lives worse. Not sure if it will come to mass starvation in this country. I wonder if it will start in other countries (Africa?) leading to a wave of panic in the West. But I am just guessing completely.
Hi Zep, in American cities, even the homeless don't quite starve, for there are soup kitchens, mostly organized privately, as by churches. This system is not designed to handle many more people who run out of food, and your average American does not have enough food stocked up to last even a week.--Linh
P.S. American supermarkets depend on just in time delivery, so nearly everything can run out within hours when there's a panic. The system is very fragile. Plus, you must factor in the rage and lawlessness that are just under the surface.
I see. You are right, everyone is dazed right now. The cognitive dissonance of being told to stop being scared of covid has people unsure who to believe (but not trusting their own doubts either). You cannot just turn off your own intuition about what's right and wrong (as many have done) and then turn it back on again - you lose a bit of yourself in that process.
Now, the cost of electricity and petrol has rocketed in the UK. And there is no cooking oil in any supermarkets. I guess this is phase 1. Then slowly more items will become unavailable.
But I feel the elites want more drama than this. As in, millions dying and not another slow burn cull like the vax deaths. Around me, I see and hear about various maimings. In my work place, I unfortunately witnessed a heart attack. I have a family member blind in one eye. But these people live on albeit with significantly worse quality of life.
How would you recommend prepping for this? I feel stocking up on food might be a mistake since if it became a literal Hunger games scenario, I think angry looters would just break in and steal food. Hope it doesn't come to this.
Hi Zep, I have a German friend I tried to convince to come to Namibia, and he only changed his mind two days before departure. Now, I'm floating the idea he should come to Vietnam, but he says he won't go anywhere before July, which may be too late. I believe Europe is the worst continent to be in right now, even worse than Africa. The idea of fleeing makes people extremely uncomfortable, but look at what's happening in Ukraine, and Ukrainians have been fleeing for years, as have Syrians. Though Israel, the US and NATO have been for decades the leading generators of refugees, Americans and Europeans will soon become refugees themselves.--Linh
Do you have access to unsalted butter? If so, learn how to make ghee (clarified butter). It will keep at room temperature for months and longer in the fridge. Ghee is the perfect cooking oil, suitable for all such purposes, delicious and nutritious.
Jews hate us all...
Linh, how do you deal with people who steadfastly believe the Jew's lies whether related to coronachan or Russia/Ukraine or whatever?
I have simply run out of patience. Years back the lies were more subtle. Now they are absurd. I have lost any patience with people like Sailer and Taleb who bought into Corona as the new black plague. What I find fascinating is how once they went off the rails with Corona, they have been on the wrong side of reality. Taleb has a pinned tweet about how he will quit Twitter if people like Covid and Ukrainian heretics are allowed back on.
Hi Al, a guy like Ron Unz mocks all questioning of the Covid narrative, and even says his thinking on this matter is not too different from the New York Times and the Economist, he really says that, so Unz is a fraud, for he can't be that stupid. Sailer sticks with race baiting even as Jews kill millions. He sees nothing wrong with Bourla or Walensky. Sailer is a joke. Unz Review is a joke. The biggest jokers, though, are legitimate writers who stick with Unz to give it cover!!!--Linh
I think Sailer is just not as bright as he thinks he is, or he just doesn't want to rock the boat. In any case I don't think he's that relevant. As for Ron, he may be many things but stupid isn't one of them. But I don't really know what's his game. He has published a lot of wacky conspiracy theories, one of them even questioning the existence of the Roman Empire, but he can't question vaccines, that's too wacky for him... OK...
But the commenter is right, the lies have become more and more outrageous as of lately. Before, they cared to create lies that were at least plausible. But now, with Covid and even more with the Ukraine, it's as if they WANT to tell us the most obvious and outrageous lies, completely unbelievable lies, as if on purpose.
Hi Tom, Ron's game is to gather all these angry whites into one place so they can expose their location, thinking and character. If Jewish lies have become more in-your-face outrageous, it's because these Jews know they're only dealing with laughable pussies--Linh
P.S. Ron's game is also to stoke these angry white pussies into indicting themselves in front of the whole world. He's laughing his ass off.
P.P.S. As for Sailer, he's another example of a fake dissident who serves his masters perfectly by focusing his readers' attention on small crimes and irritants while ignoring the historic genocide in progress. He's also expert at steering readers away from the master criminals.
Hey Tom, I wouldn't presume to know Unz anywhere near as well as Linh does, but as for Sailer, not only is Sailer a perfect mediocrity, as you say, but I think it's easy to underestimate what a vicious authoritarian mentality he has. Sailer genuinely hates black people, because he is a craven coward that fears them to a hysterical degree. This terror/hatred mentality leads him to advocate an extremely authoritarian outlook, and I believe it has been exploited by his Jewish sponsors like Unz, to convince him to not just adopt but to sell the fake-pandemic-lockdown-depopulation agenda.
Now, this is speculation, but I get the feeling that he was approached with a pitch alond the lines as follows: "Mr. Sailer, we're going to fake a pandemic in order to force everyone to take an injection. Between you and me, Steve---can I call you Steve? Great. Between you and me, Steve [wink wink wink], the shots are going to sterilize all the blacks, while clearing out Los Angeles to make lebensraum for you and all the other virtuous Aryans to sperg out in STEM classes and finally get laid by the slutty shiksas---I mean, gentile beauties!---who never give your kind the time of day anymore, since the black bucks are stealing all your women. All YOU need to do is stay on narrative. Start by saying you plan to hide in your basement wearing a mask until further notice from the CDC."
Hello Linh, thanks for your work! I've been reading your work for some time now, and been living in Phan Thiêt for 15 years. About time to have a beer and a chat together...
Hi Arthur, I will be in Vung Tau for at least three more months. My email, linhdinh99@yahoo.com --Linh
Linh isn't the corona craziness there? Wasn't Namibia a normal place?
My home is in Korea, but if I were in Namibia, I wouldn't come here.
Hi Andrew, everything is open in Vietnam. I walk around all day without a mask, and it's not a problem. The only time I have to put a mask on is when I enter a bank, and even then, I leave my nose out. Namibia was more normal, yes, but I couldn't stay there forever.--Linh
Darnit Linh, as if I wasn't edgy, creeped out, paranoid and sad enough. Nights awake thinking about this stuff can get rough, but I saw an unwanted Hennessy ad on YouTube that made party time in the west look pretty hopeful, gotta give the kids something to dream about.
So glad that you are able to be back in Vietnam. This started on such a dark note, but by the end I am smiling and breathing.
A thoughtful start to the day. Thank you.
I agree completely. So much toxic waste.
Actually if you did just pay attention to MSM you should clearly be able to see that this high value speech by Dr. Richard Day that supposedly took place in 1969 must be the real deal. If you actually summarized MSM with critical thought it would be something very similar to this 'conspiracy theory'. I can't prove this happened in 1969 but that doesn't matter as it simply in my mind describes today and the very near future.

One really has to scratch there head that a nightly 'news' watcher would cancel your butt for saying this is happening. It's in the news and real life. It's like they(the controllers) can put this stuff into a nightly news watchers head in such a way that they can't see it.
Like the "hosts" (replicants) in Westworld: if they are shown a picture of the outside world, they are programmed to say, "It doesn't look like anything at all, to me..."
I wish my sister was programmed that way. When I said a building cannot fall down that way due to an airplane she threw me out of her condo. The hotel cost me 160 bucks!
Yeah, if you keep prodding at the Westworld replicants, they'll also eventually go berserk and attack. It's the nature of the robot...
It's not that hard to be a conspiracy theorist. All you have to do is take the Red Pill (of Matrix fame), and, whatever the MSM reports, figure that the opposite is true. Recent examples: Covid pandemic = Covid scam, Russia's war on Ukraine = America's war on Russia, MSM = Fake News (that's one thing Trump was right about), etc.
