Based on the recent valuation of Twitter at USD44 Billion, and considering there are 200 million active users, the price is roughy $220 per user. Elon Musk has effectively paid enough to have sex with each and every one of Twitter users (street price), but those users (despite being used) will not see this money; Twitter shareholders (the pimps: Vanguard, Blackrock etc) will. Or did he just buy your soul? 🔥
Inflation is not an organic, unavoidable consequence of “the market”; it is a policy decision. It is always intentional because inflation is a transfer of wealth from the entire economy to the banks… but first some basics. There are only two parameters that control inflation: a) the total volume of trade in a given period of time b) the total supply of money in the economy that is available to consumers. A third theoretical parameter is the velocity of money, but the changes in velocity are negligible in any relatively stable economy. In simple terms, the entire supply of money “chases” all the goods and services in the economy. If the same volume of money chases fewer good, prices go up. If more money chases the same supply of goods, prices go up. Assuming that the rate of consumption remains constant or growing, and there is significant price inflation, this unequivocally proves that banks are issuing more credit, therefore charging more interest. All the money in circulation with the exception of cash is just someone’s debt to the banking system, which attracts interest. It follows that all inflation under zero or positive growth is the gross profit of the banks. Banks decide how much and under what conditions they will issue credit, and bank credit is the M3 money supply (the money you “keep” in your bank account, which is 98% of all money in use, is made by the banks, at interest).
Causes of Inflation
CPI/Inflation is an aggregate measure for the entire economy, with only some “volatile” goods excluded. Let us assume a fixed amount of money in circulation. If, for example, the price of fertiliser goes up because of military conflict in Ukraine, this means that more money is directed towards buying fertiliser, leaving less money for other goods and services, and thus lowering the prices of those other goods and services. The net effect is still zero overall inflation. For inflation to rise due to supply chain issues there must be a disruption to all core supply chains, not just one. Covid restrictions have achieved that, but there is also an inexplicable policy shift among international shipping companies or seaport authorities to slow down supply chains. Even local supply chains are still inexplicably restricted. In addition, the glowing real estate prices force buyers to borrow ever more money to own a home, which has a direct effect of inflating the money supply: 98% of money in circulation is bank credit that someone took out and spent, but no matter where in the economy this money is, it attracts interest payable to the banks. This second factor is definitely a bank lending policy decision, with the loan guarantee scheme by the Government adding fuel to the fire. Everything is set up to justify a rapid increase of interest rates; again, this is a policy decision to decimate debtors, and the government, RBA or the banks are not telling the truth about the real reasons inflation is high. They are doing it, and they will raise interest rates, and anyone with debt will suffer like in the Great Depression. It will be slaughter… Unless there is another agenda, monetary substitution with a new sovereign currency, but we wont know until the day this happens.

Why would anyone invest hundreds of hours of their time to create content and grow a community on a platform that can lock you out at a drop of a hat if they dont like you. Twitter cannot be trusted.
Compliance with vaccine mandates is a blood bond, a collective crime of acquiescence to the removal of the right to free medical consent from our children and future generations, and if this moral wrong is to be normalised for the future generations then those who teach children must be themselves guilty but in denial, must be complicit but believe that what they did was right, so that they themselves will want to normalise their crime to evade the realisation of guilt and the associated liability.
This alleged plan neatly fits the hypothesis that both EU and Russia want to exterminate ultra-nationalists in Ukraine (incite them to suicide by Putin), because the ultimate agenda is to split Ukraine in half: the western part to be reunited with Poland (and so automatically becomes a part of EU), while the eastern side becomes Russia. Sounds like EU and Russia made a secret deal, because Ukrainian nationalists stood in the way of creating the ultimate economic union, combining the technology and management of the EU with Russia’s resources. And the key to the puzzle is again supplied by Henry Kissinger: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/henry-kissinger-to-settle-the-ukraine-crisis-start-at-the-end/2014/03/05/46dad868-a496-11e3-8466-d34c451760b9_story.html
Persuasive Action (Vaccine Mandates)
Consider formally asking your Employer/Institution/University/MP what steps have they taken to eliminate the risk of harm posed by their acquiescence to the removal of the right to free medical consent from their employees/members/students/constituents.
If the relevant institution has mandated vaccines on their own initiative, you could reword accordingly, for example: ‘I understand that the University requires that all employees and students must be vaccinated against Covid-19 to access the University facilities/sites. What steps have you taken to eliminate the risk of harm posed by your removal of the right to free medical consent from your students and employees?’

Hypothesis: Voter Fraud is a persuasive tool designed to facilitate popular acceptance of Digital ID. They will make sure that the biggest perverts, traitors and scoundrels (who are carefully selected for their aberrant tendencies to humiliate you) will keep winning by voter fraud, until you submit. After that, votes will no longer matter; their sole legal function will be is to document your consent to delegate your speck of sovereignty to the rulers, and thus justify their authority over you (‘for the greater good’).
In times of great change humans tend to impulsively react rather than act consciously towards a rational aim. We fear losing our bearing, our conceptually fixed points of reference that gave us the stability of value and meaning. Our propensity to be traumatised by radical change and to react impulsively to this perceived existential threat (it is an existential threat to our self-image constructed in terms of the normalised past) makes us susceptible to manipulation, because it motivates us to act now, to fight or to run, to respond as if we were drowning, rather than calmly observe and understand the unfolding change. A robust response to radical change must also involve observing and trying to understand the aspects of ourselves that are threatened by the change. Why are they threatened? Why should things that happen externally threaten what we are to ourselves, the integrity of our Self. Are those aspects perhaps deficient, defective, aliens to us; imaginary appendages that did not belong to us in the first place but we took them for our own, because we were conceited, deluded, mistaken, lazy, therefore already lacking self-integration. A Sage one said: that which endures though change is real, that which is subject change is not. Without a permanent part of the Self there would be no continuity of our being, and without continuity of being there would be no being, because being is conceivable only in time, as something that lasts over a duration. We must therefore be clear, discover which aspect of ourselves is permanent, the thread on which all the changing aspects of being are still attributed to the same Self. In times of stability and order only a handful of Sages were motivated to pursue this challenge, but times of great change force all of us to see ourselves for what we are, if we are anything at all. On the other side of a painful process of transformation we might just be grateful for that opportunity. That which is permanent need neither fight nor run.
Discrimination against “trans” (male) athletes in female sports is justified and necessary for females to be able to safely compete in sports at all. Sports Categories are meant to discriminate, in the right way. The inclusion of “trans” athletes in female sports is discrimination against females.
I don’t care what metaphysical, religious beliefs people have. The only standard that matters to me is whether their actions and reasons for action are rational.

There is only one true logic, the logic of sense vs nonsense. This logic is inherent to humanity, the principle that makes us human, and we are all capable of it. We obey it whenever we think, we affirm one logic even when we explicitly deny it, but nobody is adhering to it perfectly. The underlying rules of thought were first discovered and formalised by Aristotle. Non-western traditions were not conscious of the rules of sense but exercised them only ad-hoc, partly intuitively, partly by trial and error, and consequently all traditional systems built on this incomplete understanding contain fundamental errors, literal non-sense, which is to say, many apparent truth-claims in these traditions actually mean nothing, which in turn may explain the philosophises of non-thought, zen, maya, true self, moksha… all which which are practices of negation of meaning. God/Logos is one because truth is one, because Logic is one. This emerging awareness was no doubt the primary cause of monotheism, which of itself was a revolutionary shift in human consciousness.
The West is a state of mind, not a place, not a tribe, not a race; it has begun, more or less with Socrates but became fully demarcated only with Aristotle, whose discoveries in logic have achieved philosophical maturity only with the humanist ethics of Kant. The West was a cultural revolution like no other in human history. We may now be at the threshold of another revolution, involving the integration of logic/Logos with spirituality.
This will drive the prices proportionally higher, so people will pay the same in inflation adjusted money and the only change will be that government will be effectively your landlord, forever, and they will set the terms, subject to change without notice. If the interest rates would then go up, you will still end up owning nothing…
You cant make houses more affordable by inflating the currency. It amounts to chasing your own tail.
“Some experts fear that the chemical could be absorbed through children's skin, causing long-term health issues.
'Children can actually absorb enough methanol through their skin to be toxic,' said Dr Gregory Poland, an infectious diseases doctor at the Mayo Clinic, to the Globe.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 15 cases of methanol poisoning associated with the use of hand sanitizer in Arizona and New Mexico last year.
Four of the patients died, and three had permanent damage to their vision.”

Fear has a limit.
The politics of fear, otherwise known as terrorism, is a strategy aiming to traumatise a more numerous and nominally more powerful demographic in order to achieve domination. Fear has a sensitisation limit beyond which it no longer works; it no longer weakens the opponent but makes him fearless. Moreover, whereas terrorism dehumanises the terrorist, the terrorised who becomes immune to fear does not bear the same moral liability, which in turn makes the terrorised both morally and strategically superior to the terrorist. The consequence is of course that terrorists, irrespective of their intelligence and tactical sophistication, ultimately lose. Modern governments seem to be acutely aware of this risk. They want to use fear because it galvanises power and endows an unmatched degree of mass control, but they are careful to pull back just in time, try to ‘make friends’ again with the victim, before the psychological reversal can occur. This calculated behaviour is the hallmark of psychopathy, which is characterised by instinctive awareness of the point at which the predator begins to lose control over their prey.

The US Supreme Court overturning the 50yo precedent that abortion is a legal right is too well timed with the debate on vaccine mandates to be just a coincidence. This is no doubt an intentional exercise, a lesson in logic, a crash course in political consciousness. There are of course fundamental differences between the right to free medical consent and the right to abortion on demand, but these are beyond the cognitive resolution of the unthinking followers of the manufactured trends and talking points of the day. https://philpapers.org/rec/KOWAP
