Pray for Daddy Warpig

My old GamerGate colleague is fighting cancer. Best wishes and sincere hopes for his full recovery.

I’m asking for prayers from anyone willing to do so, because I was diagnosed with metastatic Pancreatic cancer on Monday. I’m going into surgery on the 29th. Anyone who could pray for me, I would be so very grateful.

No idea if he’s vaxxed or not, and I really don’t care. He’s always been one of the good guys.

KABOOM!

And there goes the global economy.

Britain faces longest recession in a CENTURY: Bank of England delivers grim forecast for the economy as it raises interest rates by 0.75% to 3% – the biggest increase since the 1980s – sending the cost of mortgages soaring by thousands.

During the pandemic house buying boom in 2020 and 2021, interest rates reached record lows with some deals priced at below 1 per cent – but now the cheapest fixed rate mortgage deals are now charging more than 5 per cent.

The average borrower coming off a two-year fix will see their rate rise from 2.43 per cent in November 2020 to 6.47 per cent.

You can safely expect the Fed and the European Central Bank, among others, to swiftly follow suit. And while 3 percent doesn’t sound like much, it’s enough to detonate the ability of the highly-leveraged to service their debts.

Buckle up. This is going to be a very wild ride. Because the rise in interest rates isn’t going to end here.

That Pretty Much Sums It Up

We covered this on the Darkstream last night. There was never any reason whatsoever to believe that Elon Musk – a ticket-taker par excellence – had any intention of standing up against the Prometheans and their determination to control the mainstream media Narrative, which now includes Twitter, Google and Facebook as well as the older organizations like ABCNNBCBS, the NYT, and the wire services.

But the speed with which Musk bowed down before those he serves was a little startling, even for those of us who had zero faith in his intentions. Considering how bad his public behavior is, one hesitates to even try to imagine what the information harvesters must have on him concerning his private conduct.

That being said, it’s still nice to see there are some positive consequences of his takeover of Twitter.

Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk plans to lay off about half of the social media company’s employees in an effort to cut costs, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday, citing sources. According to the report, the cuts will affect about 3,700 of Twitter’s 7,500 staff. Employees being let go will reportedly be informed of the decision this Friday.

The UFO Disclosure Campaign

Rumors are heating up that the US government is in the process of coming clean on the existence of extraterrestrial life and unidentified flying objects:

Dr. Garry Nolan, an immunologist at Stanford, who recently stepped into the ufological arena after claiming to have analyzed alleged UFO remains. As we reported not long ago, during an interview with Tucker Carlson Today, Dr. Nolan discussed his thoughts on the Unidentified Aerospace-Underwater Phenomena (UAPs) and whether or not the government possesses technology that originated from another planet. In addition, Dr. Nolan discussed his experiences working with the government and analyzing and studying people who came too close to UFOs.

He stated during the interview that individuals involved in the recovery of UFO debris and subsequent secret government programs would soon come forward to reveal what they know, putting an end to one of the biggest cover-ups in modern history.

When you say that the government has been involved in a cover-up, do you think they’ve been hiding it all this time?” Coulthart asked.

“Oh yes. I know it’s a fact because I’ve spoken to important people who are about to come out and whistleblow on it,” Nolan replied.

“And there has been an active cover-up. Just look at what the Department of Defense (DoD) recently announced. They announced an office to study the phenomenon. Putting money aside, they say they will start the study from 1947.”

“Which is incredible. That’s the date of Roswell,” the interviewer said.

“Yes, 1947. And we want a list of every operation they did to misinform and misinform the public,” Nolan said.

A recent law passed by the U.S. Congress may have influenced this statement by the Stanford professor. It grants a kind of amnesty to officials, military personnel, and government contractors to provide information on UFOs without fear of legal consequences or reprisals.

Whether these rumors are true or not, what will be will be. I don’t really care because it’s always been entirely obvious to me that extraterrestrial life exists due to a) the size of the known universe, b) the panoply of historical anomalies, and c) the interaction between the natural and the supernatural. I’m not going to bother to explain my thinking now because anyone who can’t follow the logic won’t follow the logic and I just don’t care what anyone else happens to think of my conclusions.

And that’s not the interesting aspect of this rumored disclosure of a decades-long – and probably centuries-long – coverup as far as I’m concerned anyway. For me, the more interesting aspect is the way in which it would conclusively disprove, yet again, the retarded, but commonly-held idea that conspiracies involving large numbers of people are impossible due to the inability of people to avoid inadvertent disclosure to the public.

One would have thought that the success of the Manhattan Project, which involved 130,000 people working in 30 different locations over four years without anyone learning about its purpose would suffice to disprove the Impossibility of Conspiratorial Secrecy argument, but since a) it lasted only four years and b) it took place during wartime, most people erroneously discount the obvious falsification. That will not be possible in the aftermath of the disclosure of a successful 75-year UFO coverup.

Trust Not in Ticket-Takers

Elon Musk bows down before the one he serves.

Elon Musk didn’t let the responsibilities of becoming CEO at a third major company curb his Halloween spirit this year. Fresh off of a $44 billion deal to buy Twitter, Musk showed up on a red carpet in New York City in what appeared to be a “Devil’s Champion” costume alongside his mother, Maye Musk. Musk on Monday evening attended model Heidi Klum’s Halloween bash on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. AbracadabraNYC, a New York store that features the costume online, shows a list price of $7,500 for the “armored” red and black outfit.

Now, for the love of all that is Good, Beautiful, and True, can we PLEASE stop waxing enthusiastic for every wicked creature who happens to show signs that his commitment to evil might be slightly less than 100 percent? How many times do we have to go through the same old stupid routine?

This isn’t that hard. Evil is not good. And because evil has rival factions, not everything that opposes one evil faction is good.

Dr. Doom Confirms WWIII

It’s rather intriguing to observe that economist Nouriel Roubini, the man who most famously predicted the financial crisis of 2008 – as did Steve Keen and I – is now also in agreement with me that WWIII has already begun and that the global economy is going to bifurcate:

Last week, the New York University professor was interviewed by Der Spiegel and listed some of the world’s most acute problems.

Recalling a recent event hosted by the International Monetary Fund, he referred to historian Niall Ferguson who “said in a speech there that we would be lucky if we got an economic crisis like in the 1970s — and not a war like in the 1940s.”

When speaking about major global threats, Roubini mentioned the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, adding that Iran and Israel are “on a collision course” as well.

“I read that the Biden administration expects China to attack Taiwan sooner rather than later,” the economist said, summarizing that “World War III has already effectively begun.”

The rivalry between Washington and Beijing is driving tension to a large degree, Roubini noted, adding that the US has banned the export of certain semiconductors to China and is pressuring European nations into cutting trade ties with the country on national security grounds. He believes that a breakup of the globalized world is looming.

“Trade, finance, technology, internet: Everything will split in two,” he predicted.

It was not clear if non-allied nations would pick the US side in the confrontation, he said. “I asked the president of an African country why he gets 5G technology from China and not from the West. He told me, we are a small country, so someone will spy on us anyway. Then, I might as well take the Chinese technology, it’s cheaper,” the economist revealed to Der Spiegel.

There simply isn’t any reason for any self-interested third party to choose the side of what Vladimir Putin describes as the Second West. Unlike the USA, which has been attacking countries, undermining their currencies, and murdering their leaders for decades, the Chinese are mostly content to simply do business with other countries. And while that may change, and the massive Chinese diaspora is not exactly popular in countries such as Indonesia, Australia, and Canada, the fact is that the Chinese track record concerning foreign relations is considerably better than that of the USA or of its representative in Asia, Japan.
