    This video is a tribute to Procopius, his work, and all similar important histories quietly shuffled away or proactively hidden. One can’t help but notice countless parallels with the collapse of Rome and our own degenerate, prideful, ignorant and forgetful age, and important related lessons.. let’s not turn our heads.

    1. @Sandra, Camille Paglia’s SEXUAL PERSONAE reports that sexual decadence, gender confusion, and transgenderism have historically accompanied decaying societies.

      1. May be time to stop tweeting, and do more on land lines and good old fashioned letter writing!

      2. It’s not over until it’s over… and even then it may not be Over.

        1. You can use that as a marker. a marker that tells you that US is a dictatorship already. There are many other markers that tell the same thing.

          1. Ozymandias
            By Percy Bysshe Shelley

            I met a traveller from an antique land,
            Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
            Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
            Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
            And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
            Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
            Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
            The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
            And on the pedestal, these words appear:
            My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
            Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
            Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
            Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
            The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

  2. Guys we’re witnessing probably the biggest pump and dump yet this morning in crypto space. Any thoughts?

    1. I reckoned that Tether was a huge threat to Bitcoin as soon as it was announced. And there was a high probability of scammieness sometime along the Tether line.
      So, no surprise that the BTC price got hammered as a result. A big surprise though, that BTC dropped so much.
      Another question is whether the troubles in Tether and other crypto (ex BTC) are over.

    2. At least BTC looks like trading, while US stock market looks like computer generated graphic. No way you get a straight line for months with real trading; even with computer/algo trading. The only way you get that graph is with computer trading if all computers are controlled from one place.
      Why bother pretending there is a free market in an unfree country?

  3. John Titus-
    I found the Conservative Treehouse article “Beyond a Slush Fund, Biden $33 Billion Ukraine Package Includes $8.8 Billion to Establish State Dept Global Disinformation Bureau, and International Civil Asset Forfeiture” here:
    https://archive.ph/z64Gi
    It was archived with 368 comments posted, which are also archived at that link. I made a PDF of the article in case this goes down.

  5. I know the lone star tick story sounds fanciful but it’s nothing new, I personally know people who have had this happen to them – it’s a symptom of lyme’s disease and can be addressed with the correct treatment. There’s been a lot of issues with Australians getting this and the medical profession refusing to acknowledge the existence of ticks that can cause this in Australia, despite people exhibiting symptoms. Encounters with these parasites are rare thus the rarity of this disease (such rarity would not be the case if it were explained by widespread chemical use or other such factors for example), and people who have suffered from this can literally pinpoint it to the day they got the tick bite. There’s lots of research by alternative practitioners in the US about it. I wouldn’t be so quick to discount.

    Now whether these ticks could be deliberately circulated in order to create a widespread meat allergy to fulfil green agenda? Sure, that is possible.

  6. Love the upbeat beginning of this week’s Money and Mkt report!! Catherine I found your comment very interesting as regards hacking. This can be very possible relative to vital infrastructure systems such as electrical grids. Attached is an article regarding the fire here in Laguna Niguel Calif. today which mentions the following:
    “Our information reflects circuit activity occurring close in time to the reported time of the fire. Our investigation is ongoing,” the utility said.
    Various utilities’ electrical equipment has repeatedly been linked to the ignition of disastrous California wildfires, especially during windy weather.”
    So Cal Edison is the Utility “probing” to source the cause of this blaze.

    1. Same in the U.S. If you look closely when John enters the URL there is a tilde (`) at the end of the URL. He sees the tilde and tries to remove it but removes the “k” in “ukraine” instead. Oops!

    2. Thanks. We have it now. If you look at the source materials, I think we should seriously drill into what is going on with the international civil asset forfeiture plans.
