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.”

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.

The Age of Fear: A Graduation Message for Terrifying Times | By John & Nisha Whitehead
With all that is crashing down upon us, from government-manipulated crises to the blowback arising from a society that has repeatedly prized technological expedience and mass-marketed values over self-ownership and individual sovereignty, those coming of…
...a world turned upside down
The problem with people is that as soon as things "stay the same" for more than five minutes, they project forward that things will continue to "stay the same" right up until the moment they have their world "turned upside down".
Then they change their tune to,
"It's not supposed to be this way!"
We all fall into this trap to some degree. We get used to a routine and go on mental "autopilot" to save wear and tear on the "little gray cells".
This mindset is even recorded in the Bible:
2 Peter 3
3 knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. 4 They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.”
Which scoffers St. Peter roundly chastises in the following verses!
For those with a few miles racked up on the odometer of life, an uncertain future full of inescapable change can be upsetting.
Oh dear! Our plans for a secure retirement are going up in smoke! Where will we go? What will we do?
Humanity periodically goes through catastrophic change and survives as a whole, though individuals do pass "before their time" by human reckoning.
Many deadly plagues have swept through the ancient and modern world.
The Plague of Justinian (15–100 million deaths 541–549 AD)
The Black Death (75–200 million deaths 1346–1353 AD)
The Spanish Flu (17–100 million deaths 1918–1920)
Yet humanity is still here, isn't it?
Every cohort of youth faces the challenges of their time.
World War I
The Great Depression
World War II
Except the near future for all humanity is "upside down world". All who are still in "boots on the ground" mode will get to participate, willingly or not!
We will all face the challenges of the day, not just the young.
Best to learn the forgotten art of helpfulness.
That would be a great start!

DC Mayor Muriel Bowser issued the proclamation on Wednesday, marking December 24, 2020 to be 'Dr. Anthony S. Fauci Day' in the District
Fauci is a long time resident of DC and is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, in addition to being the US' top COVID advisor
Fox News' Tucker Carlson led the charge of outrage against Bowser's proclamation, branding Fauci the 'Patron Saint of Wuhan'
Carlson also sarcastically referred to him as 'Saint Tony' and called him the 'Priest of the COVID cult' who wears a paper mask as his sacred garment
Similar disdain for Bowser’s declaration was shared by users of social media
One user called the idea of Dr. Fauci Day ‘Further proof of left wing insanity...’ while another said 'we already have a savior and his name isn't Anthony'

The hacker group responsible for the ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline that caused fuel shortages in the Southeast US appears to be shutting down after all its recent success, according to WSJ.
The operator of the ransomware group Darkside, believed to originate in Eastern Europe or Russia, has been unable to access its computer systems to conduct cyber attacks. Associates close to the hacking group said it would disband, citing international pressure from the US, said security research firm FireEye.
...
This sudden dispersion of the hacking group is suspicious. Who would disband a hack operation for a measly $5 million - that will barely buy a mansion in the Bay Area.

Although Anthony Fauci and other government employed technocrats have been unable to provide any explanation at all for it, the fact remains that months after Texas and Florida and Georgia have either abolished or greatly scaled back all social-distancing and mask mandates, cases and deaths are generally declining, and total deaths per million (attributed to covid) remain below what we've seen in states with severe lockdowns.

Don't expect the regime to admit it has been wrong about anything. If anything, it will double down on the usual narrative. It's worked pretty well so far.

The ultimate goal of vaccine passports, which are based on the notion of "health paternalism," is to coerce people into accepting injections of the experimental vaccines that have been incessantly promoted by politicians, mainstream news, and unelected medical experts for many months.
However, those individuals that are not persuaded to submit themselves to unwanted medical procedures by sophisticated propaganda techniques will be forced to live a "life worse than death" through the suspension of their freedom, as well as the reasonable enjoyment of their lives within their private spheres.
...
In essence, politicians, in cooperation with their unelected health advisors, have managed to gain control over entire societies and reshape them in a failed effort to achieve the common good, while disregarding centuries of progress made by prominent liberal thinkers when it comes to protecting the rights and freedoms of individuals.

The world's regimes have long been devoted to regulating every aspect of "health" in accordance with what central planners want. The covid panic offered them an opportunity to greatly expand these powers.
⬆️ The failures are becoming so obvious that ever greater force is being applied to make people "comply". This will end badly for the enforcers.
