South Atlantic Anomaly
Credit: S. L. Snowden

The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA, the large red area in the image) is a dip in the Earth's magnetic field which allows cosmic rays, and charged particles to reach lower into the atmosphere. This interferes with communication with satellites, aircraft, and the Space Shuttle. While there are theories as to why this occurs, the geologic origin is not yet known.

ESA - Swarm probes weakening of Earth’s magnetic field

20/05/2020

Over the last 200 years, the magnetic field has lost around 9% of its strength on a global average. A large region of reduced magnetic intensity has developed between Africa and South America and is known as the South Atlantic Anomaly.
...
It has been speculated whether the current weakening of the field is a sign that Earth is heading for an eminent pole reversal – in which the north and south magnetic poles switch places. Such events have occurred many times throughout the planet’s history and even though we are long overdue by the average rate at which these reversals take place (roughly every 250 000 years), the intensity dip in the South Atlantic occurring now is well within what is considered normal levels of fluctuations.

At surface level, the South Atlantic Anomaly presents no cause for alarm. However, satellites and other spacecraft flying through the area are more likely to experience technical malfunctions as the magnetic field is weaker in this region, so charged particles can penetrate the altitudes of low-Earth orbit satellites.

PREPPER'S CORNER: WATER

Storing water inside your vehicle involves quite a bit of decision making.

A quicker method is to pack a "lunch bag" with a few healthy nonperishable snacks and a quality thermos filled with pure (filtered) water. When you return home, simply take the bag inside. Just drink the thermos water and replace it with fresh water the next time you go out.

If you are driving into the "boonies", the tips below will give you quite a few ideas to keep you alive if stranded or help others who are in distress.

Coast Guard approved water packets are a good addition to your med kit as they can be distributed individually (no containers needed).

Biden Plans Expansion of Feds' Army of Snitches in 'Dollars for Collars' Program | The American Conservative

MAY 10, 2021|12:01 AM
JAMES BOVARD

DHS will be ramping up a war against an enemy which the feds have never clearly or competently defined. According to a March report by Biden’s office of the Director of National Intelligence, “domestic violent extremists” include individuals who “take overt steps to violently resist or facilitate the overthrow of the U.S. government in support of their belief that the U.S. government is purposely exceeding its Constitutional authority.” Perhaps like setting up a private informant scheme to evade constitutional restrictions on warrantless surveillance?
...
But, as the Intercept reported in 2019, “Who the Justice Department decides to prosecute as a domestic terrorist has little to do with the harm they’ve inflicted or the threat they pose to human life.” But that claim is belied by the FBI’s beloved “informant loophole.” As Trevor Aaronson explained, “FBI agents must obtain supervisory approval to enter a group or gathering using an undercover agent, and to obtain that approval, the FBI must have a ‘predicate,’ or a factual basis to suspect criminal activity. But neither supervisory approval nor a predicate is required if the work is done by an informant, creating a loophole that allows the FBI to investigate Americans for virtually any reason.”
...
Informants have become far more perilous to freedom and decency since the 1970s thanks to the Supreme Court effectively defining entrapment out of existence. Almost anything an informant or undercover government agent does to induce someone to violate the law is considered fair play.
...
The Biden administration is considering unleashing a new surveillance program at a time when Americans have no idea how many federal agencies are already spying on them. Yahoo News disclosed last month that the Postal Inspection Service is running iCOP —the Internet Covert Operations Program—to sweep social media and other websites searching for any “inflammatory” postings on topics including protests against COVID lockdowns. Postal inspectors got access to private messages on Parler and Telegram, presumably with no search warrant.

A groundbreaking work of investigative journalism, The Terror Factory: Inside the FBI's Manufactured War on Terrorism exposes how the FBI has, under the guise of engaging in counterterrorism since 9/11, built a network of more than 15,000 informants whose primary purpose is to infiltrate Muslim communities to create and facilitate phony terrorist plots so that the Bureau can then claim it is winning the war on terror.

Insider View: The Tragedy of the U.S. Deep State — Strategic Culture

Pepe Escobar
May 12, 2021
Pepe Escobar explains why Henry Kissinger must have lost the diplomatic plot.

So where does Kissinger in Arizona fit in?

Now, Kissinger reflects the Deep State angst on the Russia-Chinese relationship and wants this split up for dear life. This is interestingly covered here by Kissinger. He does not want to tell the truth about balance of power realities. He describes them as “our values”, when the U.S. has no values left but anarchy, looting, and burning down hundreds of cities. Biden hopes to buy all these disenfranchised masses as money printing goes wild.

So we are back to Kissinger shocked at the new Russian-Chinese alliance. They must be separated.

Now, I do not agree with the balance of power intriguers in that morality or noble values should govern international relations, and not power. The U.S. has been following balance of power dreams since 1900 and now it faces economic ruin. These ideas do not work.  There is no reason the U.S. cannot be a friend of Russia and China and the differences can be worked out. But you cannot get to first base as balance of power considerations dominate everything. That is the tragedy of our time.

A Society Based On The Social Credit System Is Closer Than You Think | ZeroHedge
FRIDAY, MAY 14, 2021 - 07:00 PM

No one wants to pay higher taxes so that those who do not want to work can squander welfare benefits. But knee-jerk reactions that lend support to schemes like this will ultimately lead to a social credit system, UBI, and financial allotmentt entirely controlled by the government. Implementation of these schemes is likely not only in Australia but across the world.
...
The UBI, of course, is an old idea and one so old that philosopher/activist Bertrand Russell even discussed it. The UBI, cashless society, and social credit system will soon combine to create the largest, most effective police state ever known to man. A society where any criticism or resistance of the government will result in an immediate shut down of credits and the trespasser being frozen entirely out of society.

It may feel good now, but soon it won’t. When it no longer does, well, you were warned.

⬆️ Remember that old Dr Who episode from the late 1970s? (Tom Baker 1974-1981)

The Doctor goes into a booth to get some cash with his "card". Next thing you know, he's trapped inside and the police are on their way.

"You are a fugitive...!"

[The Doctor, Leela and company are hiding in a corridor. A figure approaches]

The Doctor: A Sontaran. 
Leela: What are these Sontarans?
The Doctor: A race devoted to perpetual war. 
Leela: Then I shall kill him.

...

MANDRELL: Work? Work, Cordo? Nobody works here. We go into the upper levels and steal what we need. Aye, and kill for our needs when necessary.
(A woman grabs Leela's costume.)
VEET: This skin, it's real skin!
LEELA: You touch me again and I'll fillet you!


Leela of the Sevateem is a fictional character played by Louise Jameson in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. She was a companion of the Fourth Doctor and a regular in the programme from 1977 to 1978.

oftwominds-Charles Hugh Smith: The 'Take This Job and Shove It' Recession

Conventional economists, politicos and pundits are completely clueless about the unraveling that's gathering momentum beneath the superficial surface of "reflation" because they don't yet grasp we're entering an unprecedented new type of recession: a 'Take This Job and Shove It' recession which is unlike any previous downturn.
...
What the chattering class of apologists, toadies, lackeys, factotums and apparatchiks missed about the pandemic lockdown was the tidal change in perceptions of work and life enabled by a withdrawal from the deranging frenzy of work: once people had time to reflect on their lives, mortality, goals, identity and the soaring costs and dwindling rewards of their efforts to "get ahead" via slaving away in a dead-end job / career, the tune that began to haunt their subconscious ruminations was Johnny Paycheck's timeless classic, Take This Job And Shove It (2:31).

Album: Take This Job and Shove It (1977)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eIjEauGiRLo

The reality that wages have stagnated for the past 50 years is finally sinking in, and people are responding accordingly.
...
While the apologists, toadies, lackeys, factotums and apparatchiks serve their neofeudal lords for pennies tossed in the sawdust, the most productive workers are melting away. Nobody dares mention the number of physicians and nurses who are leaving America's sickcare system; once again, the pandemic served as a catalyst for action to be taken on long-simmering frustrations.
...
The danger to the state is not who rebels but who opts out. Outright rebellion suits the state, as it can turn its monopoly on force on the citizenry. But when those keeping everything glued together have had enough and find a way to quit, the entire system starts unraveling in ways the state is powerless to stop.

If the Technocrat Caste opts out, the private sector loses its tax donkeys and managerial expertise. If what remains of the middle class opts out, what's left of America's civic glue disappears.

If the working poor opt out, the scut work required to provide the upper classes with their comforts will not get done. (Hey, Mr. State Bureaucrat and Mr. Financier, here's a saw and a knife. Butcher your own meat.)

There's only so much inequality and unfairness a workforce can bear, and America is well past that point. To those who claim "people can't afford to quit," just watch. Those who've had enough are finding ways to opt out. There's plenty of woodwork to disappear into.
...
So take this job and shove it, I ain't working here no more. I'm stepping off the rat-race merry-go-round, thank you very much. You can find some other sucker to do your dirty work and BS work, all for the greater glory and wealth of your New Nobility shareholders. I'm outta here. So I won't get rich, that dream died a long time ago. What I'm interested in now is getting my life back and getting the heck out of Dodge as things unravel.

Jeremiah 50 (ASV)

14 Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, all ye that bend the bow; shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against Jehovah.

15 Shout against her round about: she hath submitted herself; her bulwarks are fallen, her walls are thrown down; for it is the vengeance of Jehovah: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.

16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.

The End of Western Globalia? – The Swarm Blog

Romain/ mai 11, 2021/ Finance/

As the economy of the West was hit by several shocks, the Roman Empire got caught in a vicious circle, meaning that wars and defeats led to weaker supply activity in some regions, resulting in economic problems everywhere, budget issues, less transfers to the legions, social unrest, and thus further military defeats, and so on.

The example of the Western Roman Empire is striking, as its collapse also led to a serious decline in terms of technology. Thus, the question is whether it is a relevant proxy for the current Western capitalist empire.

No one knows for sure, but as Ward-Perkins wrote in 2005: “Romans before the fall were as certain as we are today that their world would continue forever substantially unchanged. They were wrong. We would be wise not to repeat their complacency.”

Since it's humans who make up an economy, and humans operate largely out of the fear-greed dichotomy when making financial decisions, it stands to "reason" that those who study such interactions will benefit from viewing them as an organic process!

It’s the Complexity Stupid – The Swarm Blog

Romain/ mars 3, 2021

However, Keynesian models imply a linear and unrealistic vision of the world, while practitioners have to deal with phenomena like nonlinearity or nonstationarity. Said differently, that theory makes everyone think that they can “have control” over the economic activity, which is highly misleading.
...
Why not, but an economy is a nonlinear framework, and growing imbalances may slowly drive the system towards critical points, and thus towards underestimated tail risks. One should remember that even small shocks can lead to large economic drawdowns.
...
Following Bak’s ideas, researchers Jean-Philippe Bouchaud and José Moran released a preprint paper in 2019, studying the structural instability of large economies. Considering an even more complex network of firms, where each company may be connected to the others, they found that the distribution of firm sizes develops a power tail. More interestingly, because of rigidity and heterogeneity, they showed that a large economy becomes highly unstable and vulnerable to even with small shocks.
...
With the rise of econophysics and other interdisciplinary endeavors in economics, curiosity and humility should become the norm among regulators and policy makers, as any attempt to “control the economy” could finally lead to catastrophic outcomes. As Dr Frankenstein would have said to central bankers: “never bet against nature.”

The Rutherford Institute :: The Age of Fear: A Graduation Message for Terrifying Times | By John & Nisha Whitehead |

May 13, 2021

Be a thinking individual. 

Learn your rights. 

Speak truth to power.

Resist all things that numb you. 

Don’t let technology turn you into zombies. 

Help others. 

Give voice to moral outrage. 

Cultivate spirituality, reject materialism and put people first. 

Pitch in and do your part to make the world a better place.

Say no to war. 

Finally, prepare yourselves for what lies ahead. 

The demons of our age—some of whom disguise themselves as politicians—delight in fomenting violence, sowing distrust and prejudice, and persuading the public to support tyranny disguised as patriotism and/or keeping us “safe.” Overcoming the evils of our age will require more than intellect and activism. It will require decency, morality, goodness, truth and toughness. 
...
Wake up, stand up, and make your activism count for something more than politics in a world turned upside down.
