Best to not be around women at all.  That's why God made porn.

If you want a kid just make sure that the wife will be better off with you as a free man* and reasonably happy, and choose a jurisdiction which is not so 'progressive'.  That probably means waiting until you are old and rich.

(*) That might be one of the reasons that God made Bitcoin

Not surprising.  These 'non-profits' tend to profit by paying their executives gigantic salaries.  Also in the case of outfits like UNICEF I'll bet that their policy directors take a lot of under-the-table money from the dynastic wealth families who are big into eugenics.  Crypto that never gets converted (through the USD system) would be great for maintaining opacity in their operations.

I've been one of the loudest voices here for not using BTC for buying trinkets when it can be done with fiat or some crap crypto that nobody cares about (e.g., most of the 'alts'.)  That is not to say that I am against small spends.  Only in cases where the spends are embargo'd by the international banking cartels.

Again, BTC when entrusted to anyone, and especially the likes of BitPay, is not Bitcoin.  It defeats the whole point.  I would (but don't) use BitPay in the same way I use the banking system; trust them with nothing I cannot afford to lose, trust them with no transactions that I don't want spied upon by corp/gov, minimize the amount I pay them in fees, interest, etc, and maximize the pain I make them  feel (making them file SARs and such.)

I'm doing all right, but thanks for your concern.

Most of my greatest successes have been doing things, and looking at things, differently than the 'herd'.  I do try to 'give something back' for ethical reasons.  Also, to a degree, to protect my own skin.  I could easily be mistaken for one of 'them' when people's eyes are finally jolted open.  I want it on record that I did what I could.

By the way, I have no problem whatsoever 'thinking objectively and questioning myself'.  A decade ago I was just like you.  Not surprising;  life-long indoctrination by the same basic group who did you.  Only through the aforementioned process did I make what seems to be a 180 degree course correction.  It's actually not exactly what it seems, but is significant.

There are only a certain small group of people who have any chance of 'running the country'.  All of the people in this group will do exactly what their controllers tell them to, and the plan is to nose-dive the United States into a mountain at an opportune time.  The controller's plan is to pick up the pieces and re-build to suite their agenda.  It's called 'creative destruction.'

Get out before the crash.  Go back after...at least if there is some hope at that point of re-building on some of the founding principles of the country.  There may or may not be;  that part is difficult to predict.

This is all just theater.  Trump want/needs to be booted.  He's playing the crazy card to give his 'enemies' as much ammunition as he can.

I told you all way back in 2016 before he was seated that Trump wouldn't do a 2nd term and didn't wish to.

The most interesting hypothesis I've heard is that this is a way to get one of the Kushners in.  Either Jarred or Yael.  Basically Trump leaves, Pence takes over and makes a Kushner VP (which no Dem would go against) then Pence leaves and bingo.  Chabad-Lubavitch has the U.S. Presidency...more directly than ever.  Just like the predictive programming shows:

You really need to understand who the 'change agents' are and what, exactly their end-goal is.

Actually, most 'change agents' are themselves clueless pawns.  You really need to look to a relatively high level to see the big picture.  Much work is done through so-called 'NGO's and 'public/private partnerships'.  Look into the funding of these to unravel the thread.

On a personal level, once you see the big picture and the trajectory you will be better prepared to make good multi-decade choices which will give you the quality of life you think you want.  And take sides politically at some level if you choose to.  It is perfectly possible that most people will choose the 'managed human habitiat' option (and later the 'singularity' stuff.)  I would just say that people should realize that there is deep marketing science used by those pushing this option and it is almost certain that there is a degree of 'bait and switch'.  Probably a huge degree of it.

It's kind of a fact that you are unprotected against most of this stuff because, contrary to the initial assertion promised by 'doctors and scientists', vaccines generally do NOT confer life-long immunity.  The next shoe to drop is force-marching EVERYONE into the clinics for the rest of their lives for their 'boosters.'

I hope I didn't concern you with this new information about your vulnerability.  Don't worry; you are pretty safe anyway because most of the diseases are very rare and no big deal.  The scare tactics you hear are mostly just marketing hype.

Some of these 'trivial childhood right-of-passage' illnesses are more serious when contracted as an adult, but in the 1/100,000 chance that you do get one somehow, there is a very low chance of it causing you any lingering problems.  You are VASTLY more likely to have a debilitation life-long auto-immunity related problem from all the vaccines you got.  About 70%+ of the highly vaxxed people do eventually.

Not exactly.  Back in the 1980's when the FBI was less corrupt and people sometimes did real science, they did a study to try to come up with an effective way to address the 'gun problem' since shootings were getting more common.

The study basically showed that criminals NEED guns in order to protect themselves against other criminals who they come in contact with frequently in their line of work.  For this reason they will never be dis-armed, and if their weapon of choice was somehow rendered unavailable they would 'upgrade' to a more deadly one.

The common sense solution was to make it very much more costly for criminals to use guns against non-criminals in the course of committing a crime.  The idea is that innocent bystanders will be at less risk and they getting shot will be more rare.

This policy went into effect and gun related crimes have been declining ever since (with some minor blips corresponding to general economic conditions.)

In my area, breaking into a house and stealing an ATV won't probably even land you in the country jail for more than a few hours.  Breaking into a house at stealing a gun will get the entire law enforcement spectra to go after you and if they catch you you'll do years in the pen.  This because the criminal touched a gun in the course of committing  the theft.

Most criminals in my area are smart enough to leave their guns behind when they go out to burglarize.  And, since probably 90% of homeowners are armed and ready, they are also super careful to only break into houses when the owner is not home.

I'm perfectly compfortable to be on the non-vaxxed side in the real-life experiment to see whether 'loving big brother' contributes to passing on one's DNA or not.  I and my family are not putting ourselves into the loving arms of corp/gov.

Really, I just came here to pass on another chart that I just ran across:



Like so many other 'vaccine preventable illnesses', the chart shows that the introduction of the vaccine didn't correspond to decline of the infection rates.  If anything the vaccine seemed to give the poliomyelitis organism another bite at the apple and a second wind.  Not surprising that the vaccine strain itself, or a mutation of the vaccine strain, is about the only thing people in most countries get any more.

Edit:  Oh ya, the polio vaccination campaign also gave the SV40 cancer virus a shot at nearly 100,000,000 American peeps and a lot more people than that around the world.  In other news, oncology (cancer medicine) is one of the biggest sources of medical-industrial profit these days.  Just sayin'

That diagram shows part of one cycle.

Any Communist from Marx on down will tell you that Capitalism is a necessary stage in political development.  It's the stage where shit that is worth stealing is created.  Then Communism steals it.  Then Communism collapses and you get an Oligarchy.  The former Soviet Union is the best example of of what is nearly a full cycle.

The idea behind United Nations 'Agenda 21' is to concentrate the peeps into extremely dense areas and keep the resource producing areas strictly off-limits.

By consolidating the peeps they are much easier to manage and control, and the out-of-pocket expense per head of keeping them is much reduced.  Not unlike 'factory farming' of hogs.  A hog's lifespan is optimized to achieve the highest efficiency, and pharmaceuticals are key to various kinds of operations.

A side benefit of compacting people into limited space is that you can propagandize them into believing that there is 'overpopulation' and present yourself (the ruling class) as the savior who will 'save the earth' as justification for your station in life...as the 'visioners'.  People who have not traveled much and only watch mainstream media will eat it up.  We see that in the various comments here.

I spent my first year of life in such a dwelling (U.S. state of Alaska).  Part of the reason people built that way was that one could shit through a hole on the back porch and it fall right onto the beach.  Same with trash.  Twice a day the tide would come in and wash everything away.  The other part of the reason was that the terrain was very rugged so building a platform over the beach was a way to achieve a level elevation.

The funny thing about your picture is that in the background one can see a huge amount of dry land seemingly without a soul on it.

I would suggest that TPTB have engineered an artificial scarcity of dry land through various 'land use planning' and what-not.  Happy days for the real estate barons who heavily fund and thus guide various aspects of the 'green agenda'.

Happy days also for the landless bureaucrats TPTB hire who get to play like they actually own something by telling others what they can and cannot do with the land they pay taxes on.

Charts have been posted a number of times on this thread showing that mortality of most of these supposedly 'vaccine preventable' diseases declined dramatically before the vaccine was even developed.  But after nutrition and sanitation improved.

Also showing that things for which there never was a vaccine such as Scarlet Fever totally disappeared while things like poliomyasis seem to be being kept alive by the vaccines themselves.

Vaccines actually look a lot like snake-oil without needing to squint to hard.

In my observation, most Filipinos do NOT live with a 4 hour jeepney ride every day.  Just like in any country, some people choose to live in densely populated areas like metro Manila.  They both reap the rewards and suffer the consequences of their choices.  For people who live in free countries and who have freedom of movement it's a little bit disingenuous to live in a big city than bitch about overpopulation.

I would say that the problems the country has do not stem primarily from over-population.  More from distribution of wealth issues which themselves spring from power balance issues.  Corruption has a lot to do with it it appears to me, and more critically, people's tolerance of it.  There are other things as well.  One of them the 'crab mentality' issue which has been mentioned before on this board.  The peeps grab the nearest person to them to drag them down just like crabs, and inevitably that is someone in their own category.  Support your fellow citizen in their efforts instead and see what happens to the society.

A bigger issue yet is 'brain drain'.  Hopefully with a stronger sense of nationalism more people will stick it out in The Philippines, or at least be more likely to come back eventually.  As I see it The Philippines has suffered vast damage from a campaign of 'demoralization' which is a Soviet term for a long running psychological operation to get the population ready for a revolution.  Who, if anyone, ran such a putative campaign and for what reason is unknown to me.

If low population density was the key to happiness the Mongolians would be a lot better off than they are.

I personally have never shopped at Amazon.  This is specifically because I don't like Bezos and don't wish to support him.  In the free market system I don't have to support people who I don't like and to a lesser degree, policies which I don't agree with.

The draw of socialism/communism with it's centrally planned economic activity model seems to be that people with unpopular ideas which don't work for shit can still maintain control through what is effectively extortion and racketeering of the populous.

Lot's of Californians already moved into their cars.  The power embargo shouldn't hurt them much.

This sounded just like something I would write.  Upon re-reading it, I see that indeed I did write it!  Lol!  Oh well.  You got a lot of merit points before I realized.  Quoted above for posterity.

Like a good 'anti-vaxxer', I made sure my kid got BCG (Bacille Calmette-Guérin) vaccine at birth.  I researched it.

BCG uses an old technology which I agree with based on my knowledge of physiology, and research indicates that not only is it somewhat effective (against TB) if given at a very young age, but it actually negates the brain damage caused by the much newer HBV that 'they' now insist to give on the first day to every baby born.

Unsurprisingly 'they' are trying to deprecate BCG vaccine as much as possible and it is only given in specific regions (where they simply cannot argue that tuberculosis is not a problem.)

If you dare:

http://vaccinepapers.org/wp-content/uploads/BCGhepB-vaccines.pdf

Shaw and Tomljanovic made a very slight error in one of their papers.  I don't recall the exact details.  I think they shifted an age cohort without a proper explanation.  I don't remember if it was this paper, but from 'our side' it is best to avoid use of their work when possible.  There is a growing mass of information from others who've not made such a mistake.

The thing is that the pro-vax side can use the most basic and crude forms of fraud and their work will be lauded.  More importantly, the 'better' the fraud the more funding they can expect going forward.  Same as with global climate change fraudsters.

'Our side' doesn't have this luxury.  Quite the opposite.  The one thing 'we' have on our side is truth, and good science will almost always reward that...after a few decades...  The power of 'the truth' is the basis for the attack on real science by the likes of Big Pharma and the Greenie crowd.  But 'we' have to be extra super careful to do everything perfectly.  Even then we'll be smeared, but the smear can be wiped clean and eventually the other side sustains a hit for it.  Clever people on the truth side can bait the fraud side into attacks which will backfire on them because, in point of fact, the fraudster side 'scientists' are sell-outs and often because they are simply not very smart.  Cannot make it doing real science.

The fraudsters have the government and the entire mainstream media behind them (since the same group of people own both) so even when 'the truth' wins, most people don't know it.  But then again, most people are fairly useless sheeple class and what they think they know doesn't really have much of an impact on the real world.  When it comes to vaccines, the sheeple class will damage their kids upon demand by corp/gov, and their kids will end up as stupid as they are.  It's sad and it will have a negative impact on society, but it's not probably the best battle to fight right now.

For the fun of it, let's play this one a few moves out:

 - About 300 fires are started from people using their generators.

 - Generators are outlawed for safety and 'carbon footprint' reasons.

 - The most downloaded app is the one that helps people narc on their neighbors for doing bad things (like running a generator.)

 - <stuff, stuff stuff>

 - Everyone pays higher prices for energy.


I considered buying some property in the Santa Cruz mountains one time.  It had burnt a few years prior.  Cause of the fire?  Someone's solar panel.

One thing I've learned in researching this 'eco' stuff:  The eco crowd loves fire and the 'change agents' who make things happen use it regularly to achieve the kind of 'revolutionary change' that they've been indoctrinated into believing in.  The funny thing is that the people who are actually planning what get's burnt next are basically real-estate developers who have insider information about how various 'city plans' are going to come together a decade down the road.
