“Double Inflation” is Coming

America was, as of the last day of August, just over $86-billion short of having a $33 TRILLION-dollar National Debt.

In our reader comments, several readers questioned, in effect, “How can a country with a (claimed) Gross Domestic Product of $23.32 trillion – making debt 141.1 percent of GDP – stay in business?”

A few readers, including a dear friend, a leading engineer in his field, who I worked with on something we called the Mazurok-Ure Correlation (an 83-year currency cycle in 2001) explained in an email that it’s not such a big deal in globalist terms:

“It’s small potatoes considering Japanese national debt.

“As of March 2023, the Japanese public debt is estimated to be approximately 9.2 trillion US Dollars (1.30 quadrillion yen), or 263% of GDP, and is the highest of any developed nation.”

HECK, we still have a LONG way to GO!!!!!!

When I was in Japan 4 years ago, exchange rate was 100 yen to $1 USD.  A Burger King meal cost around 1200  yen.  Getting off the plane seeing those prices, somewhat of a shock.  However, after 3 days paying living expenses, prices seemed normal, not out of place.  Cash withdrawn in local currency from an international ATM, boatloads of yen came out (income), when spent provided a reasonable standard of living.  Numbers don’t matter as long as income/expenses provide an affordable standard of living.  There is a catch-22!  Need stricter control over citizens how their money is spent to ratchet up the GNP ratio.

Can US debt go that high?  Don’t think so.  Japan has strict control over its citizens, they work like indentured slaves not tolerated in the US.

Already at 124% (or 141% as of this morning – G) a lot of social unrest is going on.  Pushing debt limits harder requires more control, if not implemented, translates into social unrest.”

Which gets me to the math operands of World War 3 – The Manufacturers Resource Wars – which will likely include?

Inflation Mechanics (1)

Let’s back up, a bit.  To the Monetarist’s view (Austrian School) which goes to the idea that the “value” (and sometimes pricing of a Nation’s currency is roughly “Amount of GDP produced divided by number of fiat ducats in circulation.”

Whether it’s Yuan, Federal Reserve Notes, Bitcoins, or wampum.  Doesn’t matter much to the discussion here.

Where we are as a Country right now is on the knife’s edge of rolling over into hyperinflation.  Which is why World War 3 (the MRW) is so critical.

Simplifying: $33-TRILLION of Debt Requires – and we’ll cite the average recent yield on the 30-year bond as our basis   –4.3% for our calculations:

Interest on National Debt: $1.419 Billion

What are the odds that the Private Sector Workers in America  – all 161,484,000 of us, as of Friday’s Employment Sit. report – will be able to pay an additional $8,887.48 EACH in order to just cover the debt for the year at prevailing interest?

About zero, frankly.

Where does the money come from, then?

Welcome to Double Inflation

I’m sure you know how the “magic of compounding interest works.  It’s what my little day trading hobby is based on.  In August, my (wild-eyed) gambling made 5-percent.  Which sounds piss poor.

\Except\  If you can do that reliably 12-months in a row, it compounds to an annual rate of return of 79.58 percent, following?

The “moral hazard” the government has gotten us into is?  Next year the debt burden (just to keep the debt from compounding) will be even higher.

At some point – fearing the peasants at the gates with pitchforks – the Power Elites will have no choice but to “Burn Down the World” to cover up the Economic Crimes Against Humanity.

The required rate of inflation ahead may be estimated as the existing interest rate on the National Debt PLUS the Shortfall in current accounts.

Thus, Treasury Yield at 4.3 plus pending tax increases that will cover perhaps 20 percent of current interest – leaving the unpaid portion of interest at 3.6 (which will compound on us) – means actual “double inflation” to plan for will be on the order of 7.9 percent. Actual plus unpaid increase debt.

Wild-eyed speculation?  You bet.

/Until/  That is, we open the last CPI report (here) and see if there is anything actually up about 5 percent over the last year (because the inflation kick is just beginning):  Well, yes, shelter costs were up 7.7 percent.  Transportation Services were up 9 percent.  And there were other strong sectors, as well.  Not to mention Services were up 6.1 percent and even basics like Food were up 4.9 percent overall. Cheaper at home, but up more than 7 percent eating out.

/Hysteresis/  We could have a book-length conversation about the propagation speed of price increases.  With shelter prices up 7.7 year-on-year, workers are gunning for pay increases that will come to at least that much – after tax take home.

But everyone is working an angle on this money stuff. Like in the recent UPS contract.  The Company was citing “almost $200,000 a year for seasoned drivers.”  But the only way they got to that was by including medical, retirement – in short anything they could lump in to make the drivers seem greedy.

Only right on this Labor Day that we should pause for a few minutes and consider our lot in life.  (Plus play my favorite Lab song on YouTube).

 Wars are expanding because demand has reached consumer saturation.  We knew it was at hand when public storage units popped up and people began to “rent housing for shit they don’t use anymore.”

Crazy is here, crazy is now.  Wars are to empty out the arsenals and get a fresh slew of orders in hand to the Death Industry in order to bolster GDP.  Otherwise, we drop into financial collapse when the world comes knocking wanting fungibility for all that paper we’ve been littering the world with.

I hope this explains my recent manic interest in getting the fall garden in.  If it’s not clear, some additional headlines offer guiding context.

 Papering Things Over

War not going well?  New attempted Ukrainian landing in Crimea crashed: Four speedboats sunk – Heavy shelling of Ukrainian bases in Kherson.

Easily solved: Fire the military.  Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy: defense minister Oleksii Reznikov will be replaced this week.  And now military service is being required up to age 50 and down to 17.  Check this, too: Zelensky causes global shock: He recruits HIV-positive, people with neurodegenerative diseases and mental illnesses – He asks for 160,000 refugees back. Not much about this on cheerleading corporate media in the once free press here, is there?

G20 – Slow to Go:  US Prez Joe Biden Says He Is Looking Forward To Visit India, Expresses Disappointment Over Xi Jinping’s Absence At G20 Summit.  Xi is staying home to get ready to take over Taiwan when the typhoon debris is cleaned up.

Storming is norming – conforming?  US: Storm at Burning Man festival causes chaos, closures, flooding; Strands over 70,000 at Nevada.  Perhaps to be renamed Drowning Man?

Financial Outlooks

Our decision to remain on the sidelines over the holiday is looking promising.  Dow futures were showing higher and Asian Markets Rise As US Jobs Data Ease Rate Pressure On Fed.

Somewhat more worrisome is that BTC is under $26,000 as of this morning, but hype is always in the wings: JP Morgan Predicts SEC Will Be Forced To Approve Bitcoin ETF (bitcoinist.com).

Around the Ranch: Mulch Gulch

The stand-up seeding tool worked out perfectly and the Fall Garden was planted on schedule Sunday.  This morning, after Chinese food for breakfast (chicken pot stickers, anyone?) off to mulch cardboard and toss on straw.

Came around to planning for the addition or a “vermin proof building” as a late fall project.  Because I want to get some chickens going in the spring.  Nothing like em for keeping the critters out of the veggies.  And there is nothing quite as good as a farm-fresh egg.  (They’re also a lot more yellow than store white eggs.)

After the mulching, I’ll be adding more green peppers to the lean-to greenhouse off the music studio.

Where…and this is kind of interesting – the best place (dark and cool) for sprouting mung beans- is in operation again. Nothing like bean sprouts and stir-fried oyster sauce beef with sweet and sour dressing on the salad…yum!

Only takes 10-minutes a day to sprout beans.  Three rinses in cool water.  All you need are some sprouting trays (like these) and bean seeds (try these).

One thing you can do to help bulk up your sprouts?  I took one of those half-inch thick plastic cutting boards and made tray-sized weights to put on the sprouts. The harder the sprouts have to work, the more they bulk up.

The twice a day rinsing keeps the sprouts wet and washes off enzymes that slow their growth.

Simplest ways to use them?  Toss a handful in an omlet (foo young style) or stir fry in a very hot skillet and finish with a drizzle of low-sodium soy sauce.

If you are into prepping and you’ve got some seeds and gardening tools set aside, remember sprouting is a dandy “bridge food source” until you can get your own new crops up.  seeds to sprout are also some of the most nutritious things you can eat.

OK, back to micromanaging myself – the topic for Peoplenomics this week,.. ShopTalk Sunday is here if you missed it.

  1. Good one as usual. My financial advisor does not agree with all of my near future concerns but he does cocnurr we are heading into less than happy times so we parted last week to for the time being to meet semiannually.
    Work in the garden hoop house and the big in ground beds were first on the list. I found evidence of digging in a couple of the freshly planted tubs and later spotted chipmunks scurrying about. Out came the Victor M156 rat traps to set in and around the tubs. The body count this morning is at 6. Diana thinks I should live trap them and release them out in the woods. No, I have better things to do with my time. She says I am mean. She has called me worse.
    Good work on your garden and plans. Looking forward to following along.
    God willing and the creek don’t rise.
    Stay safe. 73.

    • Actually, the creek on our seasonal branch is gone until a week from Thursday with (real) rain is forecast. In the meantime, though,. we are not party to “navigable waters of the United States.” No Coastioes allowed at the Ure’s joint!
      Still, a USDA dam grant to put in a 5-acres pond is tempting – stock with talapia and such.
      But that’s like inviting a camel in for a nightcap, lol…

      • Heck with that pond. Swimming pools in barns. There is a fellow in Iowa I believe raising fish and shrimp in his barn. Been on my wanna do list for quite a while.
        Didn’t I use to see an Oil rig fellow on here doing that before? In recycled hot tubs or something.

        • I have friends who are raising Tilapia in a large greenhouse with shade cloth covering. Their ‘ponds’ are blue plastic Behlen stock tanks about 3′ deep by 10′ diameter. They stumbled on a cache of them at a junk yard and picked up the lot for a song. Many had forklift holes punched in them, so they’re using those as raised gardens.

        • G is right – used defective plastic vaults from my brothers funeral home. AND….used hot tubs because they are FREEEEEE! You can also snatch up lots of above ground pools in the winter, many with working pumps. If nothing else, torn pool liners are great to line raised gardens with, if you do the waist-high kind for no bending…
          Oilman2

        • Swimming pools in barns? Wouldn’t there be an issue with light for the fish? I don’t know, but where I am, every covered place, barn, shop, storage, etc., is at a premium. I suppose he actually has a “spare” barn.

        • Speaking of indoor pools, the lady up the road from me who built the Olympic-sized pool with a basement underneath has now built a building over it:

          Lean-to, interior (not pressure-treated or exterior) studs, sills, plates, rafters, particle board sheathing with a Tyvec wrap. It is getting six casement windows down its east side only (pool is oriented N-S). The pool’s apron is concrete and about 6′ wide, all around the perimeter; the “building” uses the outer perimeter of the apron as its footer.

          NOBODY uses interior lumber to shelter an indoor pool. The moisture will completely rot such a structure in about 6 years. The apron is not wide enough to even support a Chaise. The erection of the facility and structure is slower than I could do it, at my age, and working alone. The owner had 2000 gallons of “pool water” trucked in, but no more. I figure that’s enough to get the deep end wet, to about 4″. Now, she’s having steel crash barriers erected, two deep, around the pool area.

          This gal is older than Methuselah, was married to a real estate mogul and had $20 mil in her bank account when I was tooling around the country, fresh out of college and pretending to be a musician. She could snap her fingers and have an enclosed pool done, and done properly, in two weeks. All this adds up to a safe-room / fallout shelter hidden under her pool (but y’all has done already figgered out that’s where my headspace be…)

          I DO SO wonder about the timing of her project, though…

      • I raised tilapia.. red claw fresh water lobster and crawdads. shrimp (prawns) easy to raise .. if you get tanks put a nursery at the bottom six inches high.. quarter inch mesh across a frame a few pvc pipes at rhe bottom..this gives the babies a place to hide make it two level then the bottom level 3 inches from the bottom the top level has 1 inch mesh ..
        I used a bucket filter.. great system and an aerfor..
        I raised them for five years.. the problem I had was.. they becamepets.. I couldn’t harvestthem..
        I used the water on the ggarden.. flipper when I gave them away was roughly ten pounds..and about 2 ft long bug girl..there was over fifty babies about an inch long I had a couple of suckered fish to ..
        of the rabbits .. we still have princess beautiful rabbit..my little Dr. Doolittle made friends with a wild bunny..he could call her and if she was in earshot she would come running to him..damdest thing you ever saw.. at 3 he would stand out and yell jack I have a juicey carrot for you and there she would be..boo still lives in the back yard..

      • George…don’t know about Texas, but here in Louisiana, if the gov’t has any part of putting in a pond it would be legally open to the public. We checked this out and as tempting as it is, decided to foot the bill ourselves and stay private. Don’t need no strangers traipsing through the place to go fishing.
        About chickens in the veg garden–might think twice about that–they love luscious ripe produce. (So do wild birds, possums, coons & rabbits) Ducks, on the other hand would work. Let the chickens work the compost pile and clean up the garden between plantings.
        Plan on making the chicken coop snake-proof, too. They love eggs. Nothing like reaching in to gather an egg and meet with a 4′ long Blue Runner. Ordinarily, they are shy but sometimes not. I’ve had face-offs with the shed’s resident BR that’s allowed to stay so as to deter mice.

    The world needs a game changer to reset the current crazy paradigm we live in.
    Several days ago I alerted you and your readers about a new energy technology.
    Since then I have been researching the inventor and his device. The man is Malcolm Bendall who has a background as a mineing Engineer in Australia. This appears to be true as I found a tv interview of him and and an associate talking about a new mine that was being opened in a remote part of Australia. That interview was about ten years old. So the man has a verifiable history.
    The other important fact is that this inventor is not soliciting money from the general public. There is a Foundation and partnership to provide funding for research and development of his work.
    Also important he has verifiable working demonstration units of his invention.
    While the initial research was done in the Maldives to avoid confiscation by the Deep States of western nations he now may have moved to an industrial park in Australia.
    In addition he has secured patents on his invention.
    So is it a hoax, a scam? I do not believe so. If it is he’s spending a ton of money to do it and he could easily be proved to be wrong on his research.
    There are several YouTube video that can be viewed about this subject. I will list the main three.
    The original Joe Rogan 15 minute video of 8 months ago. Go here:
    http://www.strikefoundatio.earth/ and click on “introduction to the inventor”.

    On YouTube:
    “understanding plasmoids in an electric and plasma universe” on the YouTube channel: see the pattern.

    On YouTube:
    “the Bendall Turbine-plasmoid generator (Strike Foundation)”.
    YouTube channel: Vladislav Donets.
    This video will show a plasmoid generator running and being measured by 3rd party investigators.

    This invention is the game changer the human race needs. It solves the energy crisis and a host of other technical problems.
    Let hope the elites don’t try to confiscate it!

    • At this point in Time, looks like “they” are too busy consuming Ure Children..the PTB..used to be?

      https://southfront.press/britains-prince-andrew-accused-of-sexual-abuse-during-visit-to-ukraine/

      – to be worrying bout Us slaves getting anything.

      The above linked story IS WHY – all those pols(You know the Names) and assorted other low lifes/aszHoles been flocking to the most corrupt place on planet.

      Its the Moose, quarterbacking for SARMATta U.

      “Natasha, we must help the Moose!”

      • hmm..could it be the business models..
        trillions of dollars laundered.. number one child trafficking..number three human trafficking..over 30 illegal bio warfare labs illegal organ harvesting .
        the list is huge..
        dies that story about the pedophilia surprise you.. but..like all the rest it’s considered fake news put out by russians to discredit the honorable …

      • Boris Badenov,

        Wow, that’s one tall tale from the Crimea? Prince Andrew couldn’t even get an invite last June from the King to participate in the Order of the Garter Procession at Windsor dating to 1348 and King Edward III.

        The nearest essence of the prince that apparently reached Ukraine recently was the Royal Navy Sea King helicopter that he flew in the 1982 Falklands War according to “The Express”. It and another, retired perhaps since 2015, were sent in response to President Zelensky’s request for air assets. I understand that one RAF Sea King example remains available to view at the RAF Museum in London.

    • unfortunarely that’s not new…
      in 1978 a gent drove from Texas to Washington DC on ten gallons of gas..every major network followed him on his televised journey.. to sit in front of congress.. he was promptly arrested and the car impounded..
      the magnetic motor generator..

      https://youtu.be/g59cGTswGCI?si=0l35gcEP0iESoXOW
      the technology is out there..just like greenscaping, CO2 filters and solar towers .. air wells etc.
      it doesn’t fit in the business model of stuff big buck billies pockets.
      the hummingbird generator.. they had demonstration of it on front of congress..was going to give them to anyone wanting one free of charge..the only thing they wanted was the money from all unused power Boughton back by the utility companies.. they chased him out of the usa..
      so far the only one that has been able to use one of their devices is those that build one for themselves.. the plasma reactor if you check it out every car manufacturer and every branch of govt has one patented..
      the Bloombox from bloom industries.. they were going to sell them to the general population because the US Gov’t had pulled their funding.. they immediately refunded them..
      https://youtu.be/zxyKlTDHAyU?si=y6LvsZmltMu6Ning
      seriously the technology is here.. what needs to change is the business model ..until then CO2 will continue to be an issue and our grid will be vulnerable food resources will continue to dwindle. water will continue to vanish from our aquifers..

  3. “Numbers don’t matter as long as income/expenses provide an affordable standard of living.”

    exactly..it’s only a number!
    when it gets hairy is both sides have to be equal to maintain velocity.. to little water on the table and the noodle sticks to the table.. to much and the noodle gets mushy and falls apart..
    if it’s shoved in a box it’s not moving..the same thing with gold ir silver pretty but you need someone that wants it . in our area of the wastelands. there’s what 4 or maybe three. shizt gets real would they value that over food.
    the average wage here is 12.50 to 16.. per hour.. average low .. ( LOW ) income rent is 6 dollars an hour car payment is 3 dollars an hour etc etc.. add it up it is an unbalanced scale. the only thing that’s keeping it up is the use of… PLASTIC… the tax burden is unsustainable to the average laborer..
    those at the top of this pile shove it in mattresses and boxes etc. the Weimar depression and every other depression followed a similar path..those that survived it die off then there’s time of plenty people get use to their abundance and forget what’s happened previously.

  4. “Economic Crimes Against Humanity”

    It depends on who you are. Imagine the grand baby playing in the pool right now because granddaddy worked at GM and got the whole of America to bail their pension system.

    If you are tooling sales rep, your year was made the other day –

    “DOE offers $15.5 billion to retool existing auto plants for EVs.”

    The highest paying job at the car lot is probably Finance Manager. “C’mon in and roll your negative equity….”

    • Giving away our money for a technology with only very limited use and an insufficient fox uniformed grid? Who are these assholes?

      Coming for our generators, gas stoves, can’t refill the SPR…why they’re just crazy as fuck and expect taxpayers to go along while the blow up the economy?

      Another Dept will do $10-billion for pronouns and gender change, next?

        • They won’t be giving away our great grandchildren’s money, since most of us won’t be having them. We can have kids, but we can’t make them have kids or their kids have kids if the immediate kids should actually have some. The birth rate for Americans is in the toilet and going down more. Vaxxing an entire generation of kids and young adults certainly didn’t help.

          I have no idea who will get that debt, but it won’t be me or my kids.

          In a somewhat allegorical way, it reminds me of “Childhood’s End”, by Arthur C. Clarke.

        • @Mike

          “The birth rate for Americans is in the toilet and going down more. Vaxxing an entire generation of kids and young adults certainly didn’t help.”

          Don’t forget the current fad…

          People who change genders lose the ability to reproduce, and over 99% of them also lose the ability to climax, thus adding greatly to our population slide, and removing the principal incentive to try to reproduce.

          Most kids and idiots say TickTock(sic) is harmless. I say it is both insidious, and very aptly named…

  5. “ My financial advisor does not agree with all of my near future concerns but he does cocnurr we are heading into less than happy times … “

    Of course financial advisors are reading the tea leaves through rose colored glasses and putting a pinch of sugar over the bitters of reality. If they didn’t, they’d be out of a job as folks would pull their money away from them to invest in more meaningful things … like … ummm … personal survival.

    When you make money off of other peoples money, you better have some happy, optimistic talk in your suit pocket.

  6. Good luck raising backyard chickens.
    Cracked corn makes for rich yellow yolks,
    maybe flax seed for omega enriched eggs.

  7. SIT-UP! everymorning..

    George “chickenman” Ure !

    hmmm any relation to Philip Chickenman Testa of Philly mob fame ? https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Philip%20Testa

    If my memory serves correctly – I think Chickenman ran afowl of the Pagans MC and got his ass bloed-up wit a nail bomb. Last thing that went thru Phils mind were his feet and hands.

    Quick notes yard birds – need some kinda overhead cover from Raptors. Redtails got my last 2 – dumb ass German Shepherd – Sarge, wacked the 1st one accidentally.
    He laid in front of that dead bird, staring at it forlornly for a good 15 minutes, till I came out to back yard, surveyed the crime scene, picked up dead chicken and whomped Sarge backside his neck for trying to paw the poor bird, dumbass!
    Fox, Coons and great Horned Horney Owls will attack at night – Ure Chickens gonna need some sort security.
    Secondly, yard birds will eat Ure Maters – the bottom halves. They look just perfect, at a glance, till you inspect em, only to find the yard birds done ate Ure maters. Yard birds will eat anything they can reach in Ure garden .
    Thirdly is the cold winter months, when snow and ice is on the ground, and Ure yard birds are huddled up against the sliding glass doors to the patio/deck. Yard birds never stop pooping, so much so its even on the fresh laid eggs. But hay, Im sure someone utilizes “chicken fertilizer” out there in the boonies, for something?..

    Go you chicken fat, GO! https://youtu.be/IeA2OBEApnM?si=EvtNrxElV4jCBS5P

    • Chicken fertilizer done great on Papa’s Hawaiian Chilli pepper ‘tree’… as George will attest with his blistered mouth.

      • I raised quail one year.. the problem with quail is they will trip you.. always under foot..turkeys are one of the meanest nasty and not a nice pet..ducks and geese were clean endearing and friendly..geese are territorial and protective..sitting out with coffee..they will come up to you for treats.. lay down right next to your chair.. but if you don’t belong..Watch out they will chase you away..

        • The old saying about “slick as goose poop” is not a joke, it’s a warning. Very few things in the world are any slicker than goose poop.

        • “The old saying about “slick as goose poop” is not a joke, it’s a warning.”

          the only thing I can think of that is slicker Olefart.. and I thank my lucky stars.. is that COWS can’t fly LOL LOL LOL

    • My former engineering boss once told me: “Old age and treachery will beat out youth and enthusiasm every time.”

      • Absolutely ..I totally see that just look at our administration.. as he gets older his questionable and possible corrupt I’ve activities seems to escalate.

  8. “Numbers don’t matter as long as income/expenses provide an affordable standard of living.”

    Not completely true.

    We have to understand, Japan only exists as a viable economic entity because of the United States and its “conspicuous consumption.”

    The same goes for virtually every other nation on the planet, regardless their political or economic system.

    WE are the express train. If we shut down, or go off the rails, the entire world starves — 8 billion hungry, pissed-off, and scared people does not a good time make.

    The reason the commies and fascists are trying so hard (and finally succeeding) to bring the United States down is once we fall, no other nation or sociopolitical, economic entity of any kind can stand.

    The reason a nuclear war will be necessary, is there isn’t room to bury the 6 billion dead bodies, and still leave room for crops & photovoltiacs. An atomic incineration is the quickest, most-efficient, and most-elegant means of disposal of a vast number of useless eaters and corpses, which suddenly need to be disposed of…

        • RUM WINE..

          tasty.. rum was the cheapest drink and used as a bartering tool…

          6 gallons of filtered water
          1 inch cinnamon stick
          4 lbs brown sugar
          1/2 gallon of molasses low silver
          3 cardamom pods
          4 cloves
          1 orange chopped
          1 lemon chopped ( the kids tell me my rum wine is to citrus)
          12 cherries
          1/2 cup of raisins
          take a gallon of the water heat it up mix in the sugar molasses and spice bundle raisins Citrus etc.
          put it cook it then put it in your fermenter add the distilled water to the six gallons..pitch your yeast ferment..
          rack and enjoy with your warm bagels and cream cheese

        • Oh.. there are some recipes that say juniper berries to..2000 years bc juniper berries were considered medicine and their use of it as a bitter in their recipes..Oh I forgot the star anise in the recipe..
          now gin is more of a peppery drink using juniper berries .. meads from the Vikings uses a lot of juniper berries.. add a few if you want a more Roman rum beverage.. also used in red wines..

        • If you like a cracker spread..
          wash and clean the left over yeast cake..
          take one cup of sesame seeds blend to a powder mix in 1/2 cup of coconut oil 1/4 cup of the cleaned yeast cake
          2 tsp of apple cider ( vinegar with mother)
          1 tsp cinnamon
          1 date blended up
          1/4tsp smoked paprika
          salt to taste…

          now I can tell you I don’t eat it..but someone from down under would jump at it lol lol

    • I shudder to think that you are probably right. But that probably dooms the rest, also. What is the half-life of a radioactive body?

      • The area around Chernobyl is like the Garden of Eden, and the folks who live (and farm) there do not glow in the dark.

        I don’t know who all is lying, or is misinformed, or stuck in an “anti-scientific-method” narrative, or is just plain ignorant, but I have seen enough over the years to make me doubt the nuclear “experts” regarding how well, and how quickly the Earth recovers from a random radiation dump.

        Has anyone EVER measured the amount and level of radioactive ejecta from a pyroclastic, volcanic eruption?

        I didn’t think so…

        • they do take readings around volcanic sites..the thing is.. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO TELL YOU…
          the last report I had read on fukishima was the specialist that was complaining about them being quieted about the severity..
          Having worked day labor digging hot dirt next to a tank at a reactor and not being told that our job was to dig the dirt and scoop it in the bucket..they didn’t tell any of us that it was a radioactive cooling tank spill.. One of the gents is still alive that I worked with that I know for sure.. his grandson is our roto rooter guy.. we didn’t know until after the job and was having an adult beverage when I asked the guys why they had protective suits on.. ( we were not offered any thing of that nature.. just a shovel ..including our bologna sandwhiches eaten at the pit site.. I would have still done the job.. but it would have been nice to have had some sort of idea what we were up against)
          If there was a bunch of missiles flying in our direction at this very moment we would not know about it.. the simple reason is MASS PANIC and what would that do.. not a dam thing.. it is up to each of us to stay informed..

      • Phytoremediation…
        That was how they cleaned up radioactive contamination around Chernobyl and considering there are tens of thousands of polluted sites across the United States in need of cleanup before they can be used for housing or anything else—including military bases, power stations and industrial sites—and billions are spent each year in efforts to clean up toxic soil, the time for phytoremediation is here.

        According to researchers from Colorado State University, hemp is extremely effective in removing from soils the toxic element cadmium—which is convenient, because cadmium contamination is everywhere. It’s seen in fossil fuels, old-school pesticides and many other byproducts of human civilization.
        hemp is one of the best plants to use in phytoremediation, despite other plants being slightly more efficient.

        Best of all, hemp used to remove cesium or cadmium from the soil can then be put to use—burnt as fuel, converted into oil for lubrication or other industrial purposes, used as insulation, paper or construction material—particularly if the end product uses the stalks or seeds and not the leaves, where the most heavy metals appear to accumulate after being removed from the soil.
        a sustainable plant that can be used in making construction materials..2 by 4 plywood etc..
        once legalized farmers can start growing field of hemp to be made into just about anything ..
        the list of useful products is to big to list here..those that use it for recreational purposes will anyway..legalize it regulate it like we do alcohol and utilize it for all the potential products and medications..

        • When you consider that should someone spill a 1oz jar of radium paint, by current EPA/NRC regs, an area 600 meters in diameter would be required to be cleared, and made a habitation “dead zone” for 150 years,* I question whether “radiation pollution” is pollution at all.

          *Got this straight from the mouth of a FEMA HAZMAT dude but never checked its veracity, but still… Even if he was jerking my chain, it’s still an illustration of the bilge water proffered as information.

          The older I get, the less I trust any of it, and the less I trust “experts” to be so, unless their information/opinion is based on actual scientific method and formulated via firsthand field-testing…

    • “Japan only exists as a viable economic entity because of the United States and its “conspicuous consumption.”

      Absolutely the truth.. as long as the numbers flow.. then the paper has value.. like Bitcoin.. it isn’t anything at all.. but as long as people accept it and value it.. it will have value.. it was designed as a way to pass funds or numbers between people secretly.. but as long as people have numbers or keep the flow moving.. it will have value.. With Bric’s.. the minute all the countries that we do business with say.. I am sorry gold or silver backed currency only.. or a pound of peanuts .. nut bucks..
      but if they don’t accept it.. and we don’t have the goods to trade its over with..
      what was it 2010 that a container ship refused to dock without getting gold backed currency to pay for the goods.. suddenly congress changed a few laws.

  9. “the Power Elites will have no choice but to “Burn Down the World” to cover up the Economic Crimes Against Humanity.”

    I believe we are there already…
    I think that they may stop the election.. start Marshall law..
    why would they need to cover over their crimes…they have every agency in the usa covering over them. telling congress to kiss their ass.. it’s pretty obvious that no body gives to nickles about any of it..
    millions of dollars they just forgot they had received.. how many shell companies and how many fake names and thousands of messages and many more that were encrypted..

  10. I was informed by my financial planner that I should make less money for the foreseeable future….

    Now, you can parse that however you feel inclined, but I take it as something very crappistus with the Infernal Rectum Service…

  11. I’m starting my 7th week wearing a crane splint and 11th week not allowed to pick up anything heaver than a piece of paper. I ignored the rules a little to bake pralines, divinity, and pumpkin bread for the county fair. Washing dishes is a heaver task and got my splint wet. I think it finally comes off this week and I’m driving again with or without permission.

    I like my new hand but it is a slow process. My summer garden died and I have a good excuse not to put in a fall one. I’m thinking about getting chickens next year but we have rat snakes that follow the fence lines. I’d like to know how to snake/rat proof a hutch. A neighbor lost 3 fat hens who free ranged. I assumed two legged critters but we do have hawks and coyotes in our area.

      Eleanor,

      Never break the rules!

      Gotti film (1996)

      Aniello Dellacroce:
      I’ve been negotiating all night.

      John Gotti:
      [to Ruggiero] Just take a walk. [back to Dellacroce] Negotiating what?

      Aniello Dellacroce:
      Your f***ing life!

      John Gotti:
      For taking out a f***in’ cokehead?

      Aniello Dellacroce:
      BE QUIET! Sit down. I said, sit down.

      [Gotti takes a seat]

      Aniello Dellacroce:
      You know, I’ve clipped a lot of guys in my life. Close friends. Guys I didn’t know. I didn’t always agree that the guy should be clipped. But I never questioned the orders. And I never went off half-cocked, and clipped somebody I wasn’t supposed to!

      John Gotti:
      Neil-

      Aniello Dellacroce:
      Now, you shut up! You just listen. Big Paul went down to Don Carlo for permission to have you whacked! It came this close. [gestures with forefinger & thumb] I told Don Carlo you were like a son to me. That touched the old man; he told Paul to give you a pass. But if Don Carlo had said you gotta go, I would’ve come here today with these two zips, and you would go. John, you cannot whack a made man on somebody else’s crew! There are rules! You break the rules, and this whole goddamn thing of ours cracks and crumbles! You never break the rules. Capisce?

    • Snake proof? Not likely. However, a 1″ hole drilled low in the sides of nest boxes (in line with each other) and glass or ceramic nest eggs in the nests will trap a snake so you can kill it. He eats a nest egg in one box, crawls through the hole and eats one in the next box, and he’s trapped by the bulges in his gut.

      • I have rheumatoid Arthritis and my hands were badly deformed…fist like. I had all 4 joints replaced with plastic ones. my hand looks lovely, not perfect but much more useful, or at least it will be as it gains strength. I just started strength training today. other hand is tentatively scheduled for around Thanksgiving.
