“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. […] The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.” - Eisenhower
This is just ideologically ignoring that there are distinct-dimensions in the proper question:
IF you’ve got cancer, THEN does it make sense to stop “funding” your immune-system, because the ( 10% when you’re healthy, probably 25% when you’re sick, or more ) fraction of your calories which are going to violence ought be going, instead, to comfyness??
Idiocy.
Survival IS a basic-need, as Maslow understood, & exactly as enforcement is a basic-need within your organism, it also is within countries.
And between them.
“serial-murder, treason, terrorism, etc, all just need to be made to be nice, & we’ll compromise with them, & everybody will be happy”
( I’m NOT accusing you of having spoken that, but it’s a fundamental idea behind the utopian non-reality that your, & Eisenhower’s, ignoring-the-different-dimensions-of-requirement is doing ) ignores that diversity-of-intent is an actual thing, & it ignores the greatness of that diversity.
Yes, some people actually butcher others for fun.
NOT enforcing against that, is morally criminal.
Yes, some factions, including countries, butchers others for fun/gain/profit/kicks/whatever.
NOT enforcing against that is also morally criminal.
Yes, WE ( all of our countries ) have committed evil, through our means, economic, through weapons, through selective-legislations ( ask the Indigenous people about that, sometime, if you’ve balls enough, oh readers, & the state-sanctioned slavery of Africans was only a subset of the world’s slavery that the West was profiting from, including slavery of the Indigenous people in parts of the Americas ), & countering that means enforcing accountability on our own institutions
( good fscking luck accomplishing that: Rule Number Zero in institutions is NEVER tolerate accountability, & once that’s done, then never tolerate responsibility is the next rule ),
& that requires ACTUAL Journalism, which no longer exists, among our world ( only ideological parodies of journalism remain, now. Sad as all fscking hell. “The Elements of Journalism” now in its 4th edition, NEEDS to be made a high-school requirement, xor our civilization won’t have enough leverage to be able to survive The Great Filter, this century )…
but to declare that simply deeming all military/enforcement spending to be fundamentally contrary to social-support/education/etc, is DISinformation.
Whether an organism needs an immune-system or not is dependent on its context.
Whether a country needs military-investment is dependent on its context.
NOT an ideological-belief ( either militarist or utopian ).
Ukraine’s need for military is not an ideological delusion: it is survival-requirement.
When Trump declares war on Canada, so as to take-possession of the entire-continent for himself, Canada’s need for military will be identical to Ukraine’s: extinguishment is the only alternative to fit fighting survival.
IF Trump gets through Canada ( he’s getting old: there’s a time-limit on his life ), then Putin & Trump are committed to butchering the hated woke EU.
There are many right-wingers working to butcher the EU from within, as Millei is in the process of butchering Argentina from within…
Those who are waging negative-sum-game ( mass-shootings are negative-sum-game, competitive-narcissism is zero-sum-game ) so that they can enforce that the “woke” are ALL butchered, lost, destroyed, shed, … are warring for their ideology to be the final “ruler” of the world.
It is ideological/“religious”, not objective, the real war we’re waging.
ClimatePunctuation, however, couldn’t care less about such ideologies: it’s still accelerating, & all the bullshit “consensus” that that isn’t happening is just helping obliterate more future-lives, a greater percentage of humankind. ( much of India, California, Texas, Saudi Arabia, etc, ought be uninhabitable before the end of this century: Trump’s rampaging of Canada will be goaded partly by the continuing acceleration of ClimatePunctuation )
Once our world has divided into the 4-ish alliances/empires that are the max this world can sustain, in WW3, then the REAL beat-down will begin: a whole-planet deathmatch, beginning in the early 2030’s. Only 1 alliance/empire/faction will survive, … IF any do …
NOT fighting for our lives IS obliterating our future-generations: obliterating THEIR lives, for sake of our complacent “status quo will save us” non-effort.
Anybody who pushes nonviolence against cancer/ebola/marburg/rabies/etc should be considered to be lethally-incompetent, at best ( how many lives did Typhoid Mary indirectly-destroy? There IS reasponsibility in both action & in inaction! ).
The same for any who advocate appeasing/accommodating those who are investing-in & are committed-to the annihilation of civil-rights from this planet, no matter what their “colors” or “stripe” or “flag” or ideology/prejudice/“religion” be.
Feel free to deem me evil for any/every point I put in this comment:
I expect that there will be either 0% survival of this century by our world’s humankind, … xor there will be between 1% & 2% survival, IF some faction grows enough spine to evolve, fast, relentlessly, endlessly, until surviving The Great Filter becomes for them possible.
All who reject that axiomatically put me in the dangerously-mentally-ill or the evil category, & that’s fine.
I expect there to be about 8 billion fewer humans left alive by 2090.
All the ideological “you have to be in this ideology, pushing this group’s dominion of our world” … or that, … or the other … they’re all idiotic, in my view: like idiots fighting-over which deck-chair won’t drown, while in the sinking of the Titanic.
Totally-wrong frame-of-reference.
Species-extinguishment’s the proper frame-of-reference.
Ideological-dominion cannot win, without snuffing this world’s humankind.
Only hard-objectivity/global-(not-ideological)-pragmatism can win The Great Filter.
& nobody’s accepting the evidence’s framing of it that way.
Exactly the same as nobody is accepting that the proper framing of all the geopolitical major-players is in the 3 kinds of “games”, positive-sum games ( win-win alliances, none of which are visible in the world, to me ), zero-sum games ( competitive-narcissism, which is presumed by default to be the only game in the world by us, for some delusional “reason” ), & negative-sum games ( mass-shootings, genocides, what Putin, the Republican Party, Millei, Orban, Musk, & many others are doing only matches this, or a mixture of this & zero-sum game )… nobody is accepting the correct-framing, so therefore everybody is “not seeing the forest for the trees”, & losing their perspective in the political-details…
& that is much of why I don’t believe that more than 2% of humankind CAN survive this century, now…
IF you won’t know that the thrumming in the rails is the oncoming train, AND you’re sitting on the tracks holding your sprained ankle, howling for attention ( ideological-conforming/belonging/dominion, remapped ), THEN getting splatted throughout the sky is Universe’s right to enforce on you, right?
IF, instead, you realize that the 200mph train’s coming barely in time for most of you to survive getting out of its way, but all your friends die, aerosolized by the impact… that isn’t on Nature, that’s on you, right? The telegraphing of what Nature was about to be doing was happening within your awareness’s reach, but it was your belief that was vetoing it, right?
The geopolitical-shitshow we’re embedded-in was set up centuries ago.
Our preventing this specific demise of the US of A would have required that education be nationally-organized/funded in the US for … an entire century?
Read Kahneman’s “Thinking Fast and Slow” & understand that Kahneman & Tversky’s “System 1”, the imprint-reaction system, IS ideology/prejudice/“religion”'s basis.
Read “Top Brain / Bottom Brain” & understand that “System 1” is lower-forebrain.
Then understand that upper-forebrain requires LOTS of training to get it operating, its being allowed to “vote” in our world is dependent on its relative strength, compared with lower-forebrain, & that the 1st thing that Lenin, Rupert Murdoch, the Republicans, cults, religions, etc, ALL do, is they eradicate considered-reasoning from education, so as to prevent considered-reasoning/critical-thinking from gaining control, ever again…
It’s FAR too late to save the US of A’s life, now.
It may be too late to save humankind’s life…
Pretending that “there will be time: Universe will pause & wait for us, because it revolves around us!” as we’ve been doing, means that, at this point in our evolution, we may deserve Universe’s extinguishing us: if we WON’T think, then natural selection ought clean our kind off from the map.
Let some actually intelligent life evolve, instead.
Yeah, I’m getting bitter, in my old age, but humankind’s WON’T think galls, & being gaslit about it, on top, only galls more.

Trump’s been committed to ditching NATO & allying with Putin, his sponsor/mentor, for years.
There’s even a bill on the table, now, called NATO, about the US ditching NATO.
Chopping social-systems will please, but NOT appease, Trump,
& it won’t change his strategic-course, to ditch NATO & piecemeal butcher it, taking Greenland as a means of strangling Canada completely, then waging war against Canada, because Canada stands in his way…
then once Canada’s down, destroying the hated woke EU in a pincer between Putin & him,
so that in the end, only Putin, Trump, Millei, Orban, etc, get to be “kings” over the butchered West, & unlimitedly unaccountable…
It isn’t a zero-sum-game they’re playing: it’s a negative-sum-game ( mass-shooting, except through legislations, instead of bullets, killing entire-populations, not mere-individuals ),
& the longer it takes for people to grok that, the greater the percentage of our countries’ lives they’ll succeed in shedding.
So, once the US has ditched NATO to partner with Putin, Orban, Millei, etc…
WILL THE REMAINDER OF NATO SMARTEN-UP AND GET READY FOR THE BEING-RAMPAGED THAT WE’RE GOING TO BE SUBJECTED-TO by Putin+Trump+Orban+GlobalRightWing??
XOR are we going to sit on our hands waiting, denying right to our country’s deaths, resonsibility for our own survival??
Humankind may-well deserve extinguishing, if humankind won’t do what it needs to do, to survive…
Orban needs to be removed from the EU, and from TrueNATO.
Yesterday.
This has been true since it became obvious that he was Putin’s agent/representative, a few years ago.

There is a dead-simple concept that humankind has been ignoring.
The SPEED of climate-change is following a curve similar to a bell-curve:
it was at zero.
it will, in the end, in the new climate-equilibrium, be zero.
Between, however, it will accelerate until it reaches a peak-speed, & then slow-down to the new climate-equilibrium.
Obviously, we’re still in the accelerating-part of the curve.
Obviously, if the past accelerating-curve is matched by future decelerating-towards-zero duration, then the total planetary-heating we’re in-for is MUCH more than what “consensus” “science” asserted.
Equally obviously, it’ll accelerate faster & faster until it reaches its peak-acceleration, & then it’ll slow in acceleration until the peak-speed-of-change is reached, remain there for awhile before beginning deceleration…
This simple, basic concept, that the general shape of a ClimatePunctuation is roughly bell-curved for speed, should identify the minimum-magnitude of change, for all…
So should the powerlaw underlying the change, which shows that for the current CO2 we’re aiming at a minimum of +6C, but when methane is included, then we’re aiming into a minimum of +9C.
No, MSM isn’t going to be either honest or proactive,
so just expect more incredulity, more normalization-of-disinformation, more “the evidence contradicts the valid-model” “science”, & more … essentially, filibustering to prevent any competent mitigation.
The bell-curve-shape of the speed-of-change & the powerlaw underlying the planetary-equilibrium-temperature are both profound, don’t care who says what, & work.
They’re trustworthy…
The disinformation-pushers, however, profit in social-status from what they’re doing, so that’ll continue, until the very end.
Here’s the powerlaw without including methane: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature19798
When I added-in the methane, & the proper timescale for adding it in is 12y, apparently ( presume that we’ll keep adding more & more of it, too, as that’s what the evidence declares ), which makes it much more significant than I’d thought… ( methane has a short halflife in the atmosphere, so the longer you measure a particular input’s effect, the weaker it gets. That means, though, that the ever-increasing amount we’re measuring in our atmosphere is directly due to ever-increasing amount of methane-release, not to accumulation-of-previous-releases. )

Someone pointed-out to me that when the police declare the value of siezed-drugs,
it is significantly to their political advantage to misrepresent the value as being MUCH higher than it actually was…
Therefore I’d legislate, to prevent that corruption from having any home, that police could identify the mass, & the grade, of whatever they’d seized, but not the “value”, so as to make it so that they didn’t even have any motivation to lie ( thereby saving them from some bad karma )…
However, this valuation looks backwards?
( mind you, I’ve no actual idea how much the stuff is worth, on the streets )
$132_000_000 / 2_400_000g = $55/g
that doesn’t seem right, if it’s uncut?
( ttbomk, it’s nearly-impossible to get clean drugs at the end-purchase: they’re ALWAYS cut with SOMETHING…
I remember some years ago, the police were warning people out on the West coast of North America, that there was some … perhaps cocaine? … going around that was killing people because it wasn’t cut, so everybody was getting the dosage wrong… )
Anyways, this is just a public service announcement to say that EVERY time you see such a statement by police, a mass of drugs, for some specific “value”, please do the calculation yourself, & see if what they’re saying even makes any sense…
In this case I think they were undervaluing the stuff, but that’s just a guess ( as I’ve no actual idea what drugs go-for, to the end-user, or at any stage of the chain, actually ), & maybe my impression that cocaine was a $100/g drug is just some impression I got from 1980’s movies?
Entirely possible…

As predicted years ago.
Trump is Putin’s ally, not NATO’s.
This was forseen by some YEARS ago…
As I’ve said before, they’re committed to destroying all the “woke” countries in a pincer between Putin & Trump,
& that’s why Greenland is required, so the US can do to Canada what Russia’s been doing to Ukraine, & once Canada’s destroyed, then the hated-by-them-both EU can be destroyed.
It’s a strategy, & it will succeed unless the TrueNATO countries SMARTEN UP SHARPLY, QUICKLY, which looks to not be going to happen…
Whatever.
There are other worlds in endless-stream-of-universes: our continuums/souls will just do it again, on another world, after obliterating this “Garden of Eden” world, right?
whatever.
Watching humankind “prevent” snuffing-of-humankind is like watching a junkie’s life be obliterated by whatever junk they’re addicted-to.
Inevitable, depressing, pointless…
Oh, sure, it’s possible that the addict in question might somehow change & fight-for-their-life against their unconscious-mind’s obliteration-addiction, but is it likely?
not.
Then Carney is naive to the point of being a possible-liability, strategically…
Trump fundamentally/ideologically NEEDS the woke EU broken/destroyed, & only between a Putin + Trump pincer can that be accomplished.
Using Alaska & Greenland to sever ALL Canada’s trade, allows Trump to then become king of the entire continent, & then the Putin+Trump pincer can destroy the EU,
… leaving Putin & Trump the only remaining “kings” of the West.
THAT is the unconscious-goal that will be controlling our futures ( given that it has the civil-authority to enforce its will on the world, to the US military’s extent ).
Nevermind the scrambledness of Trump’s conscious “strategy”, pay attention instead to the underlying, UNconscious strategy, & then you will see what’s really going to be ruling this world…
Unconscious-strategy e.g: Hamas had no conscious strategy in attacking Israel that Oct day ( it was a tactic without strategy ), but they definitely had an unconscious strategy:
to prove, through Israel’s rampaging genociding of Palestine, that Muslims have to not care at all what “deterrent” that Israel has, only ANNIHILATION of Israel can be tolerated…
Anddd… Israel took the bait.
Hook, line, sinker, even the fishing-rod they ate…
Should be ?within a year of 2028? … when Israel gets annihilated.
( the annihilation of Israel predicted in the Christian bible, Matt 24, iirc, refers to this specific event, btw: its “footprint” in humankind’s unconscious is big, same as the rest of the species-extinction events are, or near-extinction, if some fraction of humankind survives this century… )
Anyways, that’s how unconscious mind’s strategy works: MAKE the myth it is identifying-with, be forced into enactment, because G-D will ( of course… ) obey our “entitlement”, and remove all accountability or responsibility from us, “the chosen”!
( yeah, I’m bitter & cynical, now: I’m old )
All the apocalyptic-“Christians” are unconsciously working to make their unconscious-myth become the world’s ONLY frame…
Same with all, of all cultures!
We’re no different from them, in that…
( the brilliant psychological-insight in the Christian bible, using the term “behemoth”, or herd-beast, to identify our unconscious-mind’s herdbeast-nature … how many people admit, nowadays, that that’s fundamental in human-nature?
yet the evidence is all-pervading! “fads”, “fashion”, “mobs”/stampeding, etc… we make ourselves incompetent when we ignore evidence’s Truth… ).
Anyways, I’ve predicted ( couple months ago? ) that there’d be a kind of Putin/Trump/Netanyahu alliance, as their values are fundamentally the same, & now Trump’s interfering in Israel’s internal affairs to prevent any prosecution of Netanyahu…
yeah, it’s all fitting into a coherent image, more & more…
Remember the different-scale of the unconscious-progression, though:
the back-and-forth, the friends-enemies-friends at the personal level is just local-turbulence.
The real world-shaping is happening at a deeper, more-fundamental, level.
Trump & Musk are going to be collaborating, later, in destroying the viability of all “others” ( for their definition of “others” )… just wait a few years…
Same with Trump & Putin…
etc…
You will see, when WW3 begins, in the early 2030’s, only ?4? major alliances left, on the planet.
Globalization, but taken to the fatal degree ( due to deranged “values” that humankind “couldn’t afford” to correct, in the past, now having the technology to extinguish our species, completely, if its ego doesn’t get to be “god” ).
Watch, through the next few years, as humankind becomes sooo polarized, that our world gets turned into a kind of cartoon of hell.
As-in cartoon-evil leaders ruling their territories, & cartoon others ( either hapless, or overwhelmed, or clean but “good is not soft” https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GoodIsNotSoft for that concept ) competing against them…
Most of the world is too corruption/ineducation entrenched for it to be able to choose adapting/evolution, so … most of this world’s population will be gone ( unless all of it’ll be gone, the only real alternative ) by the end of this century…
Status Quo is just a mirage, now.
The Great Filter, when the ideological-toddler world-species has full world-ecology-butchering capability, & factionally uses it to enforce that each faction’s ideology be “the only Lord!”… butchering all “others”, but whole-planet-scale, everything, all at once, deathmatching until only 1 faction is left alive…
People wonder why the galaxy seems silent of civilizations…
The Great Filter would certainly explain it, wouldn’t it?
& I don’t expect more than a tiny fraction of humankind to be able to survive forced growing-up…
Back to Carney, though…
All you have to do, to see Trump’s true-nature, is to map his 1980’s location on each spectrum/dimension of human-evil, & contrast it with today’s location on the same spectrums:
- narcissism
- machiavellianism
- sociopathy-psychopathy ( he has openly-admired Putin’s automatic murdering of others, within the last few years, can’t remember who reported that, sorry… )
- nihilism
- sadism
- systemic-dishonesty
- ideological-contempt/prejudice-hatred
So, if you do that, you discover that on ALL dimensions of human-evil ( that I currently know-of, the psychology-profession acknowledged “Dark Triad” being only 3 of those dimensions, obviously ), Trump has moved deeper into darkness…
Why bother ignoring that?
Why not accept that that’s accelerating?
& there is a consequence of it accelerating, too…
Trump won’t tolerate his rule to be pruned by any “Constitution”, so therefore he HAS to throw the US of A into war, of some kind, to such a degree, that the Constitution then is obliterated from constraining him.
Canada is his only geographically-usable target, for the scale of war that he requires.
Remember what Russia did to Ukraine, in Mariupol?
Trump’s going to be doing to Canada what Putin did to Ukraine.
2028-ish, -/+ 1y.
The escalation ( world-scale ) isn’t going to magically “just calm down”, it’ll keep escalating, even if it has to change-form, or change-focus, or change-direction, in various ways, at various times, but the fundamental unconscious-tantrum-pogrom, aka myth-enactment, that humankind is beginning to make real, will exterminate nearly-all of the human life on this planet by the 2080’s, when it’s done… ( at best ).
Status Quo won’t “protect” us any-more than it did the poor millions who got dragooned into WW2.
It’s deja-vu all over again.
Stop mistaking the local-turbulence for the underlying-current!
Carney’s getting that wrong, now.
That will begin costing lives, here, in less than 3 years, & keep escalating until either Canada or the US is completely destroyed ( or both…
When you throw ClimatePunctuation into the mix… much of the US is going to become uninhabitable, later this century, & that’s another force making Trump have to butcher us: lose much of California & Texas to heat, & … you have to expand your northern-territory, don’t you?
Comforting naiveness doesn’t protect: it’s too-often fatal. ).
_ /\ _
There is a direct powerlaw relationship between CO2 & Earth’s stabilization-temperature…
There’s a gotcha, though:
Methane is about 82.5x as potent as CO2, at the 20y scale, & it’s up, too…
Remember that scientific-paper which was held-back/suppressed until sooo many had vetted the math, that then it was allowed to be, but was attacked by many, yet-still?
It stated simply that methane lost through leaky shipping ( of methane ), etc, was sooo harmful, that there wasn’t any way of justifying continued methane-usage…
The current planetary-equalization-temperature, given the chemical composition of the atmosphere, is over +8C.
All the models which contradict that, & which simultaneously contradict the actual MEASURED temperatures in the still-accelerating punctuation-between-temperate-planet-and-hot-planet-equlibrium-climates, are wrong, no matter how “politically established” they are.
Feynman was right: “the exception proves the model/rule/theory IS WRONG.”
At +4C, India becomes mostly-uninhabitable. China has ZERO problem with that.
California, & Texas, & Saudi Arabia also become nearly-entirely uninhabitable ( think 50+C temperatures, throughout most, in the hottest summer days ).
+9C is where we’re currently anchoring onto, and at this point it’s just nihilism ruling the world, lording the final “days” over the subjects-of-the-“titanic” regime, narcissistic authority-over-others, consuming all they can, while crashing the world-“ship”…
Saudi Arabia, obviously, will simply take whatever other-territory it needs: it is a kingdom, not a civil-rights regime.
Who will Texas war against, to take territory permanently from them, when Texas is becoming uninhabitable?
Somebody, certainly…
Whom will the US of A take/destroy/possess, when climate-punctuation is forcing them from their established location? Canada.
Do you see part of why Trump is committed to butchering Canada from Canadians, now? It’s actually a SURVIVAL OF THE US strategy, though that isn’t his personal motivation: he just wants to be ruler of a continental-empire, then butcher the hated woke-EU, with Putin, so they can rule the entire West, unfettered…
Criminally-negligent own-species-icide, is what humankind’s doing… for sake of … distractions, ideologies, & other “political” drugs/delusions…
===
Here is the paper which ignores the methane, including only the CO2 ( of the part that I read, of it, at least… )
https://www.nature.com/articles/nature19798
Adding-in the methane puts planetary-equlibrium-temperature, on the numbers I ran a year or 2 ago, between +8 & +9C.
Now, of course, the numbers are worse…

… shruggeth …
EITHER a portion of humankind is going to evolve, fast, relentlessly, drivenly, for most of this century,
XOR The Great Filter will force-extinguish this world’s human-category kind from Universe.
I believe that that same species-“puberty”, aka The Great Filter, controls ALL such populated-worlds, forcing maturation-or-extinguishment on every last one. Given the ratio ( who WON’T tolerate change/growing-up, and if it means killing the world, then they’re going to at-least be the rulers of the destruction-of-our-world, breaking evolution from having its transforming our world, … vs … all who honestly-will evolve, no matter what it costs us ) on this world, I’d be surprised if more than a small percentage of worlds which reach the Industrial Revolutions survives the subsequent Great Filter…
when … when adult-technology combines with animal/tribal/political population who now utterly-dominates their own ecology:
in the previous condition, nature always recovered, this unconscious-assumption is sooo ingrained, that unconscious-mind WON’T ALLOW that consequences/accountability COULD EVER touch it, … & it’s willing to kill the entire world, to prove that it “doesn’t have to” grow-up/change: unconscious-ego, is “god”, in its own “reality”…

If nothing-else, it certainly is educational to be caught in a world that is devoutly deranged, ideological, rejecting empiricism for “religious” ( political ) reasons, even to the point of everybody must die…
good motivation to break the reincarnation-prison that “life” is, the perpetual cycle of getting-caught-in-messes, life after life after life…
Not compatible with the New Age religions, that view, obviously…
but when you’re on a bus being driven by a murderous gang of drunks, & you can’t break their control of the vehicle, then crashing is inevitable…
one becomes tired of reincarnation, after it has abused one enough…
The Nature paper’s the single most-important document in the whole climate-issue: powerlaws rule nature, & discovering what the powerlaw is that relates atmospheric-CO2 to planetary-equilibrium-temperature discards all the bullshit-models ( seriously: leaving-out Greenland ice-melt until the 2020’s, & wondering why there’s “The Cold Blob” all around Greenland, & why the oceanic-predictions don’t work right… that isn’t science, that is politics! ),
but until the methane also is included, even this paper/model is mis-assessing, significantly.
The more people who get the underlying-powerlaw, who get the law ruling this planet’s punctuation-between-temperate-to-hot-climate, which has only begun, the better.
The stuff about reincarnation, … it was reincarnation-memories which broke all the Abrahamic-religions, for me: evidence broke the ideology of those religions, falsifying them all.
Took years to adapt-to, so-great a worldview-change… but changing one’s worldview when evidence falsified it, that is Science.
I’m only leaving the re-incarnation stuff in, because among White culture, such truth isn’t usually spoken, & if anyone needs that perspective, to break the assumptions/ideology of Western habitual belief, then maybe just seeing a different perspective will give them some leverage, so they can then do their own learning, on their own, through the meditation-experiments, the inner-yoga experiments, the deepening-of-one’s-Self, until ego is dissolving, & Soul/Continuum is awakening…
Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, eh?

Not only I wouldn’t be surprised if it was his idea, outright,
I’d be surprised if any other person in the entire Liberal party had anywhere near the international-financial fight-smarts that he’s got.
Experience-induced-understanding & experience-formed-instincts are Kahneman1-mind ( lower forebrain ), so they are programmed in through seas of imprinting…
It’s like the difference between someone who has the idea of martial-arts going up against somebody who actually-trained for decades: the difference-in-effectiveness is significant.
I know the everybody-the-same socialist-idealists have a religious-problem with Carney because of his career, & his being rich compared with us, but … real competence isn’t in everybody, & if the reward-system doesn’t reward excellence/accomplishment, … then it won’t produce that.
The reward-system in Communist countries rewards non-responsible, non-accountable, party-authority, right?
& that is the result it produces.
I expect diversity-of-intelligence, diversity-of-experience, diversity-of-potential to produce outliers, if the “market” of individual-human-development is working right
( unlike the naive-socialists & the communists, who hold that it isn’t equal-validity among diverse people that we have, rather it is identicality we supposedly have … or the fascists, for that matter, with their “supremacist” delusion disallowing all other peoples from having potential/validity of their own… )

Majority-governments … that’s when we need Journalism-with-teeth, to make them more accountable, like minority-gov’ts are, right? : )
( too damn bad the other federal parties are either corrupt ( the right ) or foolish ( the NDP’s weird mixture of accuracy & delusional-idealism ) … Canada’s nearly-bankrupt, thanks to the Liberal Party’s last few decades ( a male version of Kathleen Wynn’s government, has Justin Trudeau been? ), & if we go bankrupt, then we ARE annexed by Trump, helplessly.
We absolutely cannot afford any more financial mismanagement from the feds.

What is coming is the 2nd Depression, not a mere recession.
I don’t know when it is hitting, with Trump being fueled by destructive-chaos itself, but the economic-bubble we’ve been living-in HAS to pop, & when it does, it’ll take 3y to bottom-out, & when that happens, Trump is going to use that economic-hardship to finish eradicating the Constitution from the US of A’s real law.
the plummet begins sometime this-year, I’ve been expecting it for months & months…
but which Trum possessing the US it simply can’t be delayed much longer…
so the 3y bottom-out of the global economy happens in 2028, when Trump needs it to happen, for his finishing his highjacking of the US.
seems to give the right gist of it…
Essentially, IF you have an economy in-which there are 1M people & 1B dollars, & 1-day’s food costs $2,
BUT you then double the amount of money in the economy,
THEN suddenly 1-day’s food costs the same fraction of the total-amount-of-money-in-the-economy, but the number-of-dollars changes, because the relative-value of each dollar has been diluted,
so what had cost $2 / day for food, NOW it costs $4 / day for food.
Inflation.
I’ve read that the total quantitative-easing done during the Biden years amounts to multiplying the amount of US-dollars by 10x.
Which means that each $ should now be worth only 1/10th of what it did at the beginning.
but it has been “held back” by many many many players…
Market-correction has to happen, sooner or later.
All the bogosity in our economy cannot self-sustain perpetually.
Unfortunately, the longer that actuality is fought-off, the greater the hardship when it bites.
So, … probably famines, for many populations, in poorer areas…
Humankind’s choice, obviously…
As was pointed-out in the original Depression:
you can’t start any business because there’s no credit available.
You can’t get credit existing, because there’s no businesses being started.
Catch-22.

- according to those headlines, above, in the condensed-version of the story, what the Zionists are doing to the entire Palestinian population is somehow “not” execution?
& yes, I know that Islamists & Zionists are now competing to represent ideological-rabies through butchery-of-others, but the Zionists definitely are winning, according to rather alot of evidences, including the most-successful extermination-campaign against journalists waged since Hitler/Stalin…
- I’ve seen reports that China used executions to convert unwanted minorities into profitable body-parts…
China simply doesn’t provide reliable statistics, and they apparently had an actual quota system for executions ( like 10k/y, to feed the medical-tourism industry, a few years ago, was what reports were saying )
- We’ve all seen video, by now, of US police executing people in “self defense”, like a man explaining that his ID is in his back pocket, then being told to get it, then being shot 4 times for doing-so… with his girlfriend beside him, & her small child, too…
Do those executions count in these statistics?
Apparently not…
Only formal executions count?
I don’t accept that only “formal” executions really are executions.

Trump & Putin are committed to DESTROYING the hated EU between a pincer of Putin + butchered-Eastern-Europe & Trump + butchered Canada & Greenland.
THEN they get to be the only “kings” ruling the remains of the West, until they die.
They’re narcissist-nihilists, as all “mass shooters” are: they’re just committing their “mass shooting” through legislations, & hitting entire populations with what they’re firing, legislatively.
Pay attention to the fact that the woke EU is competing against both of them for world-significance AND doing-so with anti-Putin/Trump values.
Canada & Greenland stand in the way, that is all, except for the wealth that Trump would gain, through claiming it as his new-possession of the US.
Destroying the EU, though, that’d be “priceless” to them…
No more competitor!!
So, the fascists can make civilization “dance to their tune” even without actually doing anything…
Which demonstrates that they have been allowed too-much power, already.

IF you’re using Google, then it’s probably systematic algorithmic-bubble:
I saw some article which showed what Google was showing different people, for the same search, and it was sickening how polarized the extremes were through Google.
I now use DuckDuckGo.com unless it simply isn’t finding what I’m trying to find, & only then do I cross over to the machiavellian-search side, for a search’s results…
Algorithmically-enforced polarization of humakind, into the only-ideological-terrorism-REMAINS … extreme … is certain, now, for this world.
But at-least money will have been made, while contributing to the extermination of this world’s people, so there’s that, I guess…
/s
bitter sarcasm, at that…
Intentionally enforcing ideological-polarization is contributing to genociding.
& ought be dealt-with exactly as such.

WHEN the US of A’s Civil War Part2 begins, it’ll be simultaneous with the US’s waging war against Canada.
So, it’ll be saving Canada’s life, by mitigating the US’s effectiveness…
and with the US waging war against Canada ( & Mexico, Panama, etc… ), Putin will be ( with China’s & Saudi Arabia’s complete backing ) waging war against the EU/rest-of-NATO.
Trump’s a Putin-ally, not a NATO, & that’s been true since the 1980’s.
the NATO bill they’ve now got drafted in the US, in removing the US from NATO isn’t a spur-of-the-moment thing: its roots go back to the Kremlin’s investment in Trump, last-century…
IF by “taking a side” you mean cheering on, from the sidelines, sure, NATO’ll take a side…
however, if by “taking a side” you mean invading, … get real.
WHEN the US Constitution is rendered completely-irrelevant ( 2028, as that’s when the required election would threaten Trump’s kinghood ) by wars against ALL neighbors, & then the CCP can carve-up Asia, & MBS can gain possession of the entire Middle-East, all of Africa, etc… ( I don’t know who gets South America, but it isn’t the West: China’s the one who’s been investing in it, & the oligarchs/far-right have been investing in highjacking it, so it’s a tossup between them, isn’t it? … oh, “Israel” won’t exist much past 2028: Hamas’s brilliant unconscious strategy was to use the life of the Palestinian people as bait, to get “Israel” to display its narcissistic/machiavellian/psychopathic/nihilistic/sadistic/systemically-dishonest/prejudice ( all dimensions that also express through other prejudice-ideologies, including islamism, white-supremacism, etc… ) & once the Muslim world no longer cared if they survived the fight, that ANNIHILATING “Israel” is REQUIRED… then suddenly “Israel” no-longer has any military “deterrent”, do they? “Deterrent” REQUIRES that opponents be deterred, right? Making them into unhesitating martyrs isn’t “deterring” them, is it? “Israel” is sooo completely prejudice-polarized that it isn’t competent to perceive that concept, apparently. So, once that tipping-point is crossed, then “Israel” gets annihilated, exactly as the Christian prophecy declared ( Matt 24, iirc ) )
WHEN the US Constitution is rendered completely-irrelevant, THEN… TrueNATO’ll have sooo many problems of its own, that the US of A will have to wage war on all its neighbors WHILE exterminating civil-rights, leftists, Christians who’re loyal to LivingSpirit, people of all other religions who’re loyal to LivingSpirit, LivingSpirit itself, if they can figure out how, etc…
it’ll simply be nazism, all over again.
Only the appearances will be different.
Will they even have giant murder-factories, as the nazis had over 1000 of?
probably…
A more important question, for the survivors will be: as soon as Putin & Trump drop ( they are old: this will happen to them ), then … will the CCP’s empire step up to be rampaging the remnant of the West?
The correct answer is yes, they will.
Fundamentally, humankind “can’t” tolerate civil-rights to rule over authority, so EVERY kind of authoritarianism is going to try breaking civil-rights from our world, completely.
White supremacism, then CCP authoritarianism… then another, then another… until either humankind’s underlying-nature is force-changed, XOR until humankind’s extinguished…
Some would say that the US of A has been providing aid to the world, all along!
Yes, simultanously with CIA treachery…
As is obvious, ALL our countries have been playing that kind of game!
Some would say that the world, endlessly-helped by the US of A, owes the US of A help in surviving its Civil War Part2…
After all the treachery that the US has enforced so as to prevent civil-rights from having real leverage in the world…
( here’s 1: Afghanistan.
Obama let it slip that there was immense mineral-wealth there…
so, how come the US of A hadn’t helped the Afghani people get a functioning government & economy built on that, instead of having opium remain the spine of the Afghani economy??
Colonialism.
Sad, or what?
Then I found out that it was Carter who obliterated the good government in Afghanistan, so as to prevent it from interfering with the US’s dominion-game…
& these are 2 of the “good guys”?? )
Humankind has NO right to claim, in G-D’s face, that it has “done the right thing”, at any scale, consistently.
Now humankind has to sort itself out.
The US of A has to sort itself out.
If the balance-of-power means that evil wins, then … then humankind needs force-extinguishment, for the Solar-systems, or/and the Galaxy’s sake.
Our factionalism will do the enforcing: no need for any “intervention”, but it’ll be humankind’s planet-scale civil-war.
& deathmatch.
War of attrition.
Either 1 kind survives, or none do.
That is the proper framing, for the entire rest of this century.
The US is just 1 little set-of-battles, not anywhere-near the whole thing of this century’s “force cleaning-up of humankind”.
The US won’t be a player in the mid 2030’s: Trump’s making certain of that.
