  1. The CBDC is a version of coal script. JIm Willie called it the Scheisse dollar years ago without knowing how it would actually manifest.

  2. Pharmageddon: AFGHANISTAN PRODUCES 90% of the world’s illegal opium, the tacky gum harvested from poppies that can be turned into heroin. In recent years Afghanistan’s opium business has grown larger than ever before. In 2020 poppies covered more than three times as much land as they did in 1997. Interesting how this corresponds with our occupation. I work with Veterans and a young Veteran told me he spent time guarding a poppy field. He didn’t understand why. He had serious PTSD, depression, anxiety, had lost buddies, and is now unable to work due to his mental health. A travesty. This ‘poppy’ side of Afghanistan is never in the news. Is anyone connecting the dots to Pharamgeddon?

    1. Yes, we covered a lot when we first went in – one of our goals was clearly to increase poppy production and run significant poppy production from there. This is one of the reasons I assume we are leaving corporate mercenaries in control – that and valuable natural resources. Joseph thinks it is likely they have moved some poppy production to Tasmania.

        “about half of the thousands of tonnes of poppies that are grown every year to make these pharmaceuticals are grown in our good ol’ Apple Isle, Tasmania. It’s a fascinating story, because it’s a trade that was allowed by regulators in the US – and some would say outright encouraged … US court cases have revealed that J&J developed a new type of poppy in the mid-1990s that maximised production of thebaine – a poison when ingested – but which made the production of oxycodone and hydrocodone far cheaper than before. Lobbied by the drug companies, US authorities eased once strict controls on pharmaceutical opioid imports and production. Farmers competed for prizes – including luxury cars – to produce the strongest poppies.”
