  1. They turned our power off for 6hrs, 15 minutes today, 11:45 AM until 6:00 PM. Reason: Power shortage.

    It would be nice to let one know ahead of time.

    War time.

      1. Last year a large airline came in and stole a contract from a small airline in the valley. The small airline flew a small passenger jet that seated 12 passengers. The large airline was flying this huge jet(for the area) which held probably over 100 passengers. Funny, when I flew the small airline there were 4-6 passengers. When I asked others about the number of passengers they always said 2-4 passengers were on board. Well, this week the large airline cancelled all flights and will not fly to the valley — pilot shortage is the excuse. The locals gov made a big deal about how wonderful to have the larger capacity and the new contract. I knew it was a bad deal at the time…more scams du jour.

        Now, no flights. Not that I was going to fly anyway…not safe.

  2. Inquisition has reached East Europe too.

    Now you get banned for telling that ‘hoarding cash is not a good idea because governments can print as much as they want.’ – was considered trolling; or maybe it was the post ‘printing money is equal to stealing your savings’ that triggered the lemmings.

    On an UK forum telling ‘Let’s not give government more powers they have already too much. people should be responsible for their action we do not need government to tell us what to do’ was considered ‘insensitive’ for some reason. banned. This was not about covid. somebody wanted government to ban sport betting.

  3. Ongoing research into possible UKR/Khazaria senarios, https://home.solari.com/coming-up-money-markets-report-march-3-2022/#comment-28603

    New Yoichi Shimatsu series combines history, analysis, whimsical musings and censorship-confusing steganography. His Covid series started in Jan 2020 and remained relatively self-consistent over 25 articles in 2020-2021.

    Part 2: https://rense.com/general96/ukraine-doomed.php
    “riots in Kazakhstan were nothing more than a minor annoyance for the Russians and Chinese who are protecting the region’s oil reserves from the Rothschilds and other piratical crooks .. China, with its vast financial reserves, high-tech manufacturing capabilities and, if required, a 2-million man army

    … Many of those fleeing the conflict are not even natives but hustler “refugees” from Africa and the Arab world … it is safer for citizens of Ukraine to keep their children tucked in a crib at home rather than risk abduction … to train another generation of spies, agents of influence, mercenaries and prostitutes for the next cycle of imperial war and mass destruction … it’s safer to keep one’s children at home, even if the apartment block is at risk of a stray bomb. For a child, early death in war is preferable to a short life of sadistic …”

    Part 3: https://rense.com/general96/fake-ukraine-narrative.php
    “.. attention needs to be focused on the plight of uninformed Ukrainian civilians seeking refuge among their NATO neighbors. Packed trainloads of panicked mothers and children are venturing unprotected and without awareness of the far greater risks to their children in Eastern European havens of pedophile abduction rings … The main culprit enticing innocents to their doom are the self-serving NGOs, so-called charities complicit in every recent war, exploiting the Ukrainian crisis in order to embezzle millions … These poor downtrodden masses of women and children are nearly all unfamiliar with English, French, German or nonnative tongue other than Russian. Why would the parents risk abduction of their vulnerable children in NATO-region Eastern Europe..”

    Part 4: https://rense.com/general96/diary-of-a-madman.php
    ” to ensure that the contestant from Kiev, let’s leave Kyiv to the purists, survives the snockering of century, the match must end in a surprise draw, with emphasis on surprise or the fans will riot against a fix. It ends in a photo finish as you and Putin yawn and keel over exactly at the same moment … After the draw, a rematch will be scheduled for super-profits for your new tag-boozer team, ensuring eternal peace and prosperity for your nations’ tycoons and mafiyas … you and the Vlad just might become the best of frenemies, meaning it’s back to business and corruption as usual for partners in crime … Postwar reconstruction and economic recovery will be tough .. After returning home with your winnings, the Western European and “neutral” Swiss bankers from Zurich will come knocking at your door for repayment of loans.”

  4. Biden considering a ban on Russian oil imports. And supposedly, Russia is considering cutting off natural gas to the EU as retaliation.

    That would mean energy could get very expensive in the west.

    However, energy in Russia could be cheap with the excess supply. (Should they not drastically cut production.) That could put them in a position to manufacture and produce goods at a lower cost.

    That could open the door for them to negotiate trade deals with say China and India?

    Meanwhile, everyone in the west will suffer with higher prices.

    I’m not sure how likely that scenario can play out. But is it in the realm of possibility?

    1. Gas is now over $7 a gallon in some gas stations in LA. It is not possible, it is. Now.

      2. 2$ per liter in Romania. Up to 3$ in some EU countries.
        Yesterday evening the roads were blocked by cars waiting in line at gas station. There are 2-3 cars anytime at a gas station near me. Yesterday there were over 100.

      3. Sorry! I should clarify. I was meaning the possibility of Russia getting trade deals with other countries to manufacturer goods? Since energy should be much cheaper there. (provided they don’t drastically cut production.)
        I know a lot of countries would fear possible sanctions from deals with Russia.

        1. The Russians won’t start manufacturing themselves. They will sell cheap energy and raw materials to China, who in turn will produce and then supply Russia with manufactured goods, all the while using the Chinese yuan and prototyping the digital yuan in international trade as a way to bypass the US financial system. A kind of dress rehearsal.

          The legacy media is trying hard to sell the idea that China will suffer somehow. From an economic standpoint, just not seeing it. They have a captive seller for their energy needs who currently has no other options. They remain the largest manufacturing power in the world. This situation benefits China.

        3. Some scenarios are explored in this translated article with Moscow talking points, http://johnhelmer.org/on-the-economic-war-front-the-new-tributary-system-the-russian-kowtow/

          ‘Stopping oil supplies to the United States and the European Union in the first stage will cause a global shortage of black gold. Then the global restructuring of the market will begin. Russia will send all its oil to Asian markets in order to maintain export volumes. And those suppliers which were on the Asian market will send their oil to the European and American markets to replace Russian raw materials. But while this redistribution of oil and supplies is happening, there will be a shock on the world market and gas prices will soar to $150-$200 per thousand cubic meters’, says Yushkov.

          This will affect not only the global energy sector, but also the entire global economy. ‘With such oil and gas prices, it will become generally unprofitable to transport many goods by sea or over long distances, because the cost of delivery will seriously increase, the freight rate for tankers will become more expensive,’ the expert of the National Oil and Gas Company notes. The problems with supply disruptions and rising food prices which the world has faced during the pandemic may not seem like problems at all compared to what might come next in the world.

          Stopping gas supplies to Europe is even more disastrous in terms of consequences for both sides. Russia will not be able to transfer West Siberian gas, which goes through pipelines to Europe, to other markets. There is no gas pipeline for such a volume to China or other Asian countries. To send gas by sea by tankers, it needs to be liquefied, but Russia does not have so many LNG plants for this, or gas carriers too. This means that Russia will have to stop production. ‘In the western direction, if without Turkey, there is about 150 billion cubic meters of gas from Russia. Where will we put so much gas if we don’t supply it to Europe? Nowhere. We’ll have to stop lifting the gas. This means that the world market will lose these volumes, and immediately there will be a large deficit of gas in the supply-demand balance of the European Union,’ says Yushkov.

          ‘No matter what anyone says, Europe will have nowhere to take such volumes of gas from. The world is not able to increase production by 150 billion cubic meters. Europeans will try to switch to other energy sources. An attempt to switch to coal will fail, since Russia is also the largest supplier of coal to the EU. The Europeans will try to launch everything that is possible: all the shut-down nuclear power plants [to reopen], the closed coal deposits in Germany and Poland.’

          … when there is an economic war, cars, flights abroad, are no longer needed, and basic needs like food, light in homes, and fuel come to the fore. And Russia is provided with all this, unlike most countries of the world and Europe. The availability of a resource base allows us to set up any form of production, though it will take time and organization. But at least that is real, whereas without raw materials any industry becomes useless,’ Ananyev concludes.

    1. Our experts were commenting a video game on TV presented as real video from Ukraine. In the studio was even an expert from Defense department. Not a joke. The game used was ‘Arma 3’.

      The more and more what the variant presented in “The Unseen Hand by Ralph Epperson” makes sense. It explains both, the Covid and Ukraine war. 40y old book.

      1. Yes, the Israeli’s posted video of a Star Wars movie construing it as war footage. Not surprising.

  7. Things are closing up, the Fed is hiring multiple cash counters per location.
