  2. Also – is this a mystery bird illness or affect of 5G ramping up? We noticed a DRAMATIC drop in almost all birds (90%) from our feeder in Spring – currently only very small sparrows come around now vs. all kinds of birds. Stop filling bird feeders so you wouldn’t notice the dramatic drop off in birds?

    Over the summer, reports of sick and dying birds with vision problems, eye swelling (often with a crusty discharge), and neurological symptoms were confirmed in CT, IN, KY, MD, NJ, OH, PA, and WV. This illness is different from the conjunctivitis condition known as “finch eye disease,” but the exact cause is still unknown. While many songbirds have been impacted, the illness was most common in juvenile Common Grackles, Blue Jays, European Starlings, and American Robins. https://ct.audubon.org/news/feeding-resumes-songbird-disease-updates

    Residents Told to Stop Filling Feeders to Avert Bird Illness
    Connecticut bird-lovers are being asked to stop filling their feeders to help prevent an affliction that’s killing songbirds in the southern and mid-Atlantic states from spreading here. By Associated Press July 8, 2021, at 3:21 p.m.

    The illness that had killed thousands of birds in several states, and had been confirmed as having been detected in Connecticut earlier this month, has subsided to the point where different species of birds can gather again, DEEP said. In Connecticut the death toll has plummeted to 25% of what it was a few weeks ago. Aug 20, 2021 https://www.courant.com

    1. Hello Andrea,

      I live in Santa Cruz and have seen a dramatic decrease of seagulls over the past 3 years. It’s startling to be in a harbor and only count 5 or 6 hanging around. I am not sure if any other CA residents are aware of this but it’s good to acknowledge and take action if possible.

  3. Dear Catherine,
    Thanks for another great weekly report. I would just like to chime in, that btc’s energy expenditure is really small, and that btc is magnitudes more efficient than the alternative. Which is why btc is the future.

    Today’s world reserve currency is the usd. Which is ultimately backed by not the US armed forces, but by the energy expenditure of said forces.
    A simple thought experiment will do. Put all those naval assets in port, and bring the entire thing to a standstill, and watch what happens with the dollar.

    The core of the matter, is that all that energy is spent providing security for the network. For btc, than energy expenditure buys a lot of security for a very small price, when compared to it’s core competition, namely central Bank issued fiat backed by armed forces.

    And believe me, the armed security forces of the global empire burn through a lot more energy than the state if Switzerland.

    Thanks to the security provided by the energy expenditure, you can rest assured that the btc you have “in your wallet”, is safer than a dollar would be in a swiss vault.

    1. My understanding is that btc processes 7 transactions a second, VISA processes 65,000 a second and the Chinese CBD prototype over 300,000 a second. Is that correct?

      I agree when you incorporate the military expenditures the dollar system is hugely energy expensive. Question is why – which gets us back to who is really running things and why so much force is required. That is for another day.

      If btc were to play a meaningful currency role it would also require significant military expenditures. Currently, it is allowed to exist and grow without a great deal of regulatory intervention or support. But that can and will change if it becomes structurally significant.

      But there is an even bigger issue. No all digital system is desirable within the existing governance system. Every effort is being made right now to make cryptocurrencies fashionable and filled with “future.” Which make sense. If I was Mr. Global and printing QE to the heavens, I would much prefer crypto price inflation to food price inflation.

  4. Dear Catherine,

    When you got to the story about WilmerHale lawyers and the World Bank data probe, you were asking who were the names of the WilmerHale lawyers who were involved.

    Looking at the report itself (https://thedocs.worldbank.org/en/doc/84a922cc9273b7b120d49ad3b9e9d3f9-0090012021/original/DB-Investigation-Findings-and-Report-to-the-Board-of-Executive-Directors-September-15-2021.pdf), we see 4 signatories from WilmerHale:
    – Ronald Machen

    Does this connect interesting dots?

  5. Hi Catherine: CNN just announced this morning that Jes Staley, CEO for Barclay’s, will be stepping down. They said that it was due to his former relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. As you most likely know, Staley used to be with JP Morgan. You are so right when you surmise that JPM was, de facto, in business w Epstein.

  6. I think the most likely reason that Colin Powell was announced to have died from “COVID complications” is not because he was vaccinated. He was probably already dying from cancer. I think that instead, they gave special instructions to their people (to not get vaccinated or get the “special/safe” shot), and in order to avoid it being obvious given few, if any, powerful people were being affected, they simply blame any death in their ranks on “COVID complications.” A way of saying, “Look, we are suffering too.” And to avoid possible scrutiny for the low death rate among their ranks.
