The price of oil is crashing, which means the market now expects Trump to react to the midterms by surrendering to Iran. I'm skeptical that Trump will react to a humiliating loss at home by accepting a humiliating loss abroad, rather than by lashing out. But we'll see.

The author argued that many US politicians had damaged their careers, party, voters and country, and abandoned their moral and political principles rather than reconsider the US relationship with Israel. They suggested this might be a mental illness. #politics #Israel #USpolitics #US #IL

The primary reason for the ambiguity and confusion surrounding the nature of COVID is that it cannot be understood or resolved through specialized knowledge alone; rather, it requires fundamental scientific thinking, as it is a matter of the utmost complexity. From this perspective: 1. A global pandemic is impossible, given the diverse conditions worldwide and the specific biological characteristics of different human populations. 2. Excessive fear of infections and diseases, coupled with catastrophic expectations regarding the environment, constitutes a form of paranoid psychopathy. 3. Vaccination is not a viable approach for respiratory illnesses, as there are thousands of potential pathogens—unlike the single agents targeted by other types of vaccines. For this fabricated, non-existent "COVID pandemic," only 2–3% of the global population was vaccinated—specifically, those who paid for it. For the rest, the production and free distribution of the vaccine were withheld. How could one possibly envision the entire human race falling ill and subsequently being vaccinated? This is a financial scam. 4. The prevailing theory regarding the immune system is flawed. What is termed an "immune response" is merely a reaction occurring in sick or weakened organisms, yielding only a temporary and indeterminate effect. Robust organisms do not fall ill at all, as they effectively prevent the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms—of which there are thousands, many being lethally dangerous. The body’s primary defense lies in maintaining a standard alkalinity of pH 7.32, a state that depends on respiration and the levels of oxygen within the body. If it drops by even 0.02, acidosis sets in; this is the primary cause of the illness, not the infection. The microflora also serves as a defense, preventing the intrusion of external microbes. 5. The notion of mass infections and widespread illness is a form of psychopathy. The human organism possesses a unique, innate resistance—evidenced by its immense capacity for production—even though, as the most complex entity in the Universe, it is inherently prone to instability. For weak organisms, no defense offers a guarantee, as they produce low-quality, ineffective blood—characterized by a lower count of white and red blood cells and reduced alkalinity. 85–90% of the population is healthy. The remaining percentage—those with weak organisms—fall ill and die as part of the normal, natural mortality rate, which is being framed as "Covid." Healthy individuals do not constitute a medical problem; only the sick do. A further question arises: to what extent does medicine help, and to what extent does it cause harm? It is frequently exploited to generate massive profits—a practice that is both corrupt and immoral. Attempting to treat weak organisms is an unscientific fiction; it is simply impossible. Conventional medical methods cannot cure weak organisms, while strong organisms have no need for medical treatment. The focus should not be on treatment, but on prevention—cultivating and maintaining strong organisms—yet this approach is free of charge and completely ignored. The sole source of a healthy organism is oxygen. Prevention is achieved through breathing exercises. Anything else is pointless and useless. The authorities impose conventional medicine as absolute truth, while dismissing all other concepts of health as unscientific fraud. This transforms conventional medicine into a form of "medical fascism," based on deceptive and ignorant notions of health. Propaganda is being waged against oxygen, utilizing a fabricated and entirely false theory regarding antioxidants and the supposedly toxic effects of oxygen. Without oxygen, the human body is merely dead matter; death occurs within five minutes. Ultimately, all death is a form of suffocation. Sufficient oxygen levels lead to perfect health and peak vitality. If what I say is true, then the entire COVID saga is a manifestation of staggering idiocy and ignorance. This is characteristic of how those in power view life, not just here, but across the globe. Power is not an expression of human intelligence, but rather of the savage, bestial nature of humanity. Formal education is anti-intellectual, anti-scientific, and antithetical to the kind of exploratory, scientific thinking needed to solve life’s problems. It constitutes an act of aggressive coercion—a sadistic perversion directed against natural, healthy thought. It forces the memorization of vast amounts of information, which effectively stifles any capacity for exploratory thinking. This material is uninteresting and tedious; consequently, it cannot be retained and is promptly forgotten. It is part of the authorities' twisted claim to an absolute monopoly over everything—a monopoly on truth itself. Monstrous absurdities and lies are instilled in the mind. This "pseudo-education"—profoundly anti-intellectual in nature—serves to enforce a caste-like division within society: those who possess a higher education degree versus those who do not. Many brilliant discoverers—truly intellectual and educated individuals—either lacked a higher education degree or graduated with very poor academic records. Examples include Edison, Einstein, and Steve Jobs. The formal education system imposed by the powers that be is alien to genius; it hinders, and indeed actively suppresses, its manifestation. In the past, higher education did not exist at all. It is a vile, perverted invention of the ruling establishment—intellectual garbage, mere trash, devoid of any real value. These people scream as if their lives depend on it, hurling false accusations and denouncing the Internet—simply because the Internet has given a platform to "know-it-alls" and stripped the establishment of its monopoly on truth. The Internet is not the source of disinformation, nor is it responsible for a bacchanalia of ignorance and vulgarity. Truth, lies, and stupidity pose no problem for intelligent people, who cannot be deceived; they recognize them in an instant. The Internet serves as a source of endless, truthful, reliable, and vital information, while providing a platform for brilliant minds to communicate with one another and publish their profound thoughts and discoveries—free from the terror of those in power, who are the primary creators and purveyors of lies, ignorance, and stupidity. "Official" science is no more scientific than theology; both serve the same function: the dissemination of lies and ignorance—all while being presented as the sole, indisputable truth. For this reason, the Internet stands as the most brilliant invention in human history—the one that has most profoundly transformed life and offered the greatest opportunities for human development and success.

A programming glitch in on country in NY means that ballots can't be scanned by machine, so the exact same Republicans who have been demanding that all ballots be counted by hand rather than machine are now claiming that counting by hand is 'election fraud.' Whichever lie works is the one they use.

MORDOR IN FLAMES Over the past few days, we've been treated to quite a few images worthy of becoming photo of the month from the russian wasteland. For the fifth day in a row, Ukraine has been striking russian oil industry facilities harder than ever. I wouldn't be surprised if we get more footage tomorrow as well. @ October 30 – oil refinery in the samara region. @ October 31 – ufa oil refinery. @ November 1 – kstovo oil refinery. @ November 2 – samara fuel storage and distribution hub (the largest in Europe). @ November 3 – yaroslavl oil refinery. Around 10% of russia's oil refining capacity has been knocked offline in just a few days – and these particular facilities account for that share. As a result, additional fuel sales restrictions have been introduced in the affected regions. Meanwhile, various estimates put the overall share of russian oil refining capacity currently disrupted somewhere between 30% and 50%. This is a constantly changing figure, because the russians fix something, then the Ukrainians come along and smash it again. So, the footage from these attacks is looking pretty damn good, and it immediately reminds me of that story about Budanov reportedly finding out that the USA had struck a diesel deal with russia, getting absolutely furious, walking out of the negotiations and telling the Americans: "we will burn down all those refineries". Budanov himself personally denied these rumours, but I'll personally choose to believe this legend, because judging by what's been happening over the past few days, the story certainly seems to fit. And speaking of the refineries themselves, these are definitely among the more important ones, with substantial refining capacities. Also, take a look at how many separate fire hotspots can be seen in the photographs. The Ukrainians have started attacking these facilities much more extensively, rather than just targeting a single critical point. In other words, they're making a REAL effort to shut them down completely and for a long time. And to achieve that greater level of damage, Ukraine has started carrying out these attacks in several waves of drones. One wave breaks through the protective anti-drone nets, while the next targets critical processing units. And, as I mentioned, the goal is to damage as many complex and difficult-to-repair parts of the refining process as possible. That's the news and some beautiful footage for today.
