For Vagabard and all those desperate Israel hangers on. This clip is the ultimate in terrified blockage of any view that detracts from the Zionist psychosis:

“Here’s the news from Gaza … but who believes the terrorist input from terrorists who terrorize! What can you do to heal Palestine?”
“Well we need to get help …”
“Stop evading the question! Fucking Hamas bastards! What do you say?”
“Well ….”
“Shut up you bastard! Fucking Hamas beheading their own babies! Fucking fucking fucking!”
Fortunately I’m not on ‘x’ so I’ll have to let the psychosis continue. The soap & water is thatta way ==>
The psychosis is non-stop and not being on x won’t help you.
James Corbett joins Paul Brennan on ”Reality Check Radio ”
ironic that something called Reality Check Radio with investigator journalists James Corbett have never got off there fat lazy a£$ and spoken to real people in the low paid, disabled, poor category of society.
The U.K and Austraila and USA have had CBDC under the umbrella name called food vouchers for the last 15/25 years. Infact the U.K has had milk vouchers for poor children since the 40’s.
U.K Tory government now wants to go further than it has already gone in 14 years and have PIP payment paid as CBDC.
CBDC’s and the other forms of digital payment systems are completely flawed as they rely upon the availability of electrical power and a network to operate on.
So what happens when the power is out for a day, a week, a month or more potentially.
see the Carrington Event:

PS We are in the solar maximum of this 11 year solar cycle…
Of course CBDC’s (Central Bank Digital Currency) represent the latest offering in the Satanic Oligarchy’s total control grid. CBDC=Control Banking Destroy (real) Currency.
NO CASH=NO FREEDOM
BOYCOTT THOSE WHO DO NOT ACCEPT CASH AS “LEGAL TENDER”!!!
The entire transhumanist / metaverse crack pipe dream relies on an endless amount of electricity and infinitely functional hardware without the need for maintenance by human operators. Among countless other inanities…
New technology will link all the Blockchain chains, be they CBDCs, capital markets, Etherium and other “autonomous” chains,….. Focusing just on CBDCs is naive.

For the individual, CBDCs are the most important and dangerous of any financial system.
As I commented in my ealier post to Bryan, the progtammabjlity makes these instruments far more dangerous.
Of course, they’re going to be sold on convenience, security etc. and, of course people will buy into it.
It will probably work on a bonus/malus scheme where you get bonus points for being green for example and points decucted for ungreen activities.
This will all be fun to start with, a bit like green shield stamps.
Until that day when you try to book that trip of put that fuel in your car.
And there’s no stamps left.

Politically, this misjudgment may have been their most
devastating mistake, leading to their downfall (and in
the long run, the downfall of the entire white race).
Swedes still cultivate a peculiar tradition named
ox dance. In Germany called Rüpeltanz (Rüpel =
lout). Somewhat reminiscent of “finger-pulling”.

The “downfall of the white race” is another preposterous racialist fever dream. Western white cultures are facing the consequences of 1000 years of imperialistic colonialism combined with mass genocide and wholesale looting. Did you think they would get away with it?
The core of the problem is the eradication of indigenous (so-called “pagan”) western culture and replacement with the Abrahamic poison.
What you’re looking at now is a state of decay and disintegration that can only bring about a rebirth- but if you insist on racialism, the whites are looking pretty frail and driven insane by power, and unlikely to make it through tough times!
The root problem for all things NOW including CBDCs, is no matter how the elite frame these proposals-that-are-slammed-down-Humanity’s-throat these policies solely serve the profit growth of the top 5% while harming and victimizing the bottom 90%. For the central banks and all the banking systems to perform as a service to Humanity they must be socialized to public control so whatever they do serves society’s needs, not the elite. The FED is a public-private-partnership, in other words cloak privatized, serving the FIRE (finance, insurance, real estate) sector. CBDCs will make us remote control serfs. The same applies for the wars, the poverty, the artificial conflict of defunded societies with it’s crime, homelessness, pollution, social friction, classism, racism and surveillance police state to keep the plebs authority-less. And then just look at what meatbags the Uniparty has to offer as king: two old, too stupid, too corrupt and senile-psycho fools tottering… Read more »
Like him or loathe him, Tucker Carlson just gave the Australian media a serve of shit salad.
And you can feel them squirm:

Boris Johnson, London and the UK get a serve as well.
I squirm that supposedly awake people believe this horseshit.
Tucker with his proudly double vaccination logo on his website and twitter account and facebook.
That CIA Tucker that makes the media squirm. 😂
that worked for fox news. 😂
Well, he ain’t talkin the walk then.
His remarks about vaccines at this talk contradicts that logo.
So what gives?
I reckon he’s just a vain fool anyway. Russell Brand had him dumbstruck.
BTW, I couldn’t see any vaccines logo anywhere.
What gives?
Any prediction by nature is a distraction of the solution, which is being in the stillness of NOW.
The mass training our collective Minds are getting now through the created fear waves of 9/11, WMD, Covid, CO2 and now WWIII is to start discarding these false negatives in favor of looking and finding positives. The stillness of NOW, without desires, wishes or even trying is a big door opening.
Why so much paranoia about an acronym “CBDC”? Why is so much antipathy being foisted upon letters: do ‘we’ honestly think previous forms of ‘money’ set us free? And why can we not link previous forms of capital and currency with the destruction of soil fertility and the uncertain future of food—as per the previous two weeks of ‘reality check’ and ‘#solutionswatch’? In any truly solution-oriented reality-check, money and land are inextricably linked. The biocapacity of the land is the limiting factor of the amount of money as credit that can be advanced. So said the Physiocrats with their Tableau Economique, but Classical, and most especially NeoClassical Economics, deliberately departed from ecological delimitation with their ‘labour theory of value’. Provided with sufficient or unlimited capital (K) then labour (L) can produce infinite “subjective” value… in theory… if and only if the labourer does not need to eat and capital can… Read more »
You’ve completely missed the point.
Nobody I know has any problem with digital currency per se.
You can stuff your Applemac with as much funny munny as you like. Your loss.
Wha I do have a problem with is PROGRAMMABLE CBDC.
And, make no mistake, it comes as a package
Was it the odious Von der Leyan or the odious Legarde who even admitted when questioned about the ECBs dogital Euro that there would inevitably be an ‘element’ of programmability built into it.
“Programmability”? You completely miss the point if you cannot see that our entire lives are programmed by capital production. We all work for programmable Number and every choice we ever made was predetermined from before birth. The ideology that there is something ‘new’ under the capital sun is so ludicrous, especially when predicted for more than 150 years. My point that the imposition, invasiveness and imperialism of capital accumulation as our bodies stands in real world relation to the actual means on modes of our metabolic reproduction alienated from the Rest of humanity and from the land. Only now do we get indignant when the means of or extended social reproduction impinge on our wealth, our health are we moved to even register the indignity we have imposed on the supermajority of our own species for centuries. Did you read our social history? Even the sanitised version of historicity cannot… Read more »
So in short, we are powerless to change anything and are now powerless to stop ourselves from disappearing up our own arses. And it only serves us right. Meanwhile all those other nations we dispossed are also going to disappear up their (or possibly our) arses too. After all, there’s nothing left. No more hydrocarborators or whatever.
Good to know!
No, the exact opposite. The choice is always ours to make, but we have to make it collectively. The emerging ideology of a top-down hierarchy that everybody seems predetermined to make is a disempowering fallacy. From Aristotle; we formed political affiliations (like household estates, villages, city-states as the “polis of the political“) in order to secure the ‘good life’… by reducing Other human potential to the “bare life minimum” by successive collective choice… (oikonomia as political association cybernetics, political ‘master’ science or ‘man-management’ by democratic choice.) The whole “fear and anxiety” ideology focused on acronyms (‘CBDC’, ‘H1N5’…) bears no relation to the really-real determinative consumer choices we are making right now as an extended political economic metabolism… the global “body politic” (corpus politicum) in which we are embedded as bodies… by choice. Yet, we did not exactly choose this scenario to our own satisfaction, we inherited an ossified set of… Read more »
“the global “body politic” (corpus politicum) in which we are embedded as bodies… by choice.” Really “by choice”? As workers, we are limited – to say the least – by our consumption options. “we inherited an ossified set of collective choices” This describes an unavoidable activity. We always “inherit” these “collective choices”. But are they “choices” at all? The “overdeveloped world” is certainly on the verge of a massive reduction. But it isn’t geared to any paradigm that will benefit the masses. The “elimination of their human potential and dignity… to suit our choice and desiring-consumption”? As so often in cumbersome (but superficially impressive) sentence construction, it is often difficult to determine what pronouns refer to (the “their”). But the general tone of your vitriolic comments is to denounce the victims here. “Our” choice? Do we produce in accordance of our genuine desires? Who determines these constantly trumpeted “desires”?… Read more »
What? If we cannot make any distinction between what is really-real–like bodies and the hundreds of millions of tonnes of material we consume globally–and abstract entities–like corporations, money, and the dreaded ‘agenda’–then we cannot begin to pin language down to anything substantive. And if we cannot think of what is happening in the real world in concrete terms, then to what does language refer? It is an age old problem that gets little traction here, but the inherited paradigm–call it Cartesian, dualism, ontological idealism or whatever–is completely false in every possible way… but that never stopped anybody spouting verbiage about top-down causality and lizard hierarchies. Everybody wants to blame some imaginary and inexistent other rather than look at the aggregated amount of stuff we consume as everyday consumer living. What we consume is the problem, not the imaginary phantasms that everybody confects. It is our consumer lifestyle that causes poverty,… Read more »
So a bizarre defensive dance into epistemological twaddle followed by more fury at some mysterious “we”. So what are YOU doing Bryan to contribute to this indefinitely sustainable paradise of utmost Spartan depletion? You’re certainly not abandoning your computer.
Pending.
What ?
You completely failed to engage with what is currently happening right now in order to blether about “funny munny”… I’m talking about actual material (concrete) flows and biophysical logistics we are already in the stream of as embedded and embodied an extended socio-ecologic metabolism (Stoffwechsel) of commodity circulation (a term I have defined and linked to elsewhere)… which basically equates to the stuff arriving in the various ports of the overdeveloped world (to develop our social appetites further) which means our consumptogenic demand is already exceeding the earth and its Unpeople’s ability to supply us is overstretched; which is one of the meanings of impending metabolic rift. Compared to which ‘CBDC’ is an abstract ideological acronym amounting to an extension of credit to consume the remains of the earth’s ecology. So ‘we’ can talk for days about ‘H1N5’, the ‘WEF’, and ‘Ceebee Beebies” for days like they are an actual… Read more »
If you’re talking about Empire, which I think you are, what reperations do you think we should make ?
You will be aware that ‘levelling up’ is straight from the global communist playbook and last time I checked that’s all been a tad discredited.
A better description would be ‘levelling down’ where you give away your personal wealth to soothe your soul but, instead of some magic Robin Hood system, some bastard in the middle nicks it all.
By all means give your money to charities involved in this kind of work.
At least you’ll be sure their CEO sleeps very comfortably.
Degrowth is levelling down, and levelling up for the Third World as soon as we stop extracting our surplus from them. Which you must know I’ve said a thousand times before. It is not about charity, it is about making substantive changes in the organisational behaviour of society… changes that been made patently clear that nobody actually wants to make. Fair enough, but it is the elaborate charade we go through that still intrigues me. What is so radically new about ‘CBDC’ that has gor eveybody so hot and bothered? As I said: intrusion, invasion and imperialism are what we do to feed ourselves, but that never bothered anybody. The way we have treated the rest of the world is morally evil, but it barely registers any emotional response. We do not care one jot about how may nonwhite or white people we kill, or how many species we make… Read more »
Is this normalizing it before the roll out of the above.??
It seems to be common now to be locked out of the online banking app or issues logging in.
Before ICT became common, all major establishments familiarised us with the counter-top and other signboards that said “Computer system down”. That was 40-50 years ago.
I used to listen to Corbett a little. But, sorry, man. So I don’t know what he said, sorry, man, but anything issued by central banks certainly isn’t a good thing and is in consonance with the total global control and governance project taking place while the frogs sit in their little pots boiling away. It’s kind of like the earlier article on AI and how not to believe anything anymore, I think we can cut to the chase and just say, fuck that, hell no, and shove it up your arse. Abolish central banks, hang the MFers operating them, and create just and free societies across planet earth. Amen and power to the people.
Good quote.

Anyone with a guitar collection like James is all good.
Hey James!
Any Japanese Strat copies in that collection?
Not necessarily. In the past I’ve known a few people with great guitar collections who were pretty f***ed up.
Maybe they were collectors rather than players Sal.
I’ve only got 7 guitars at the moment’ Last night I put a set of Gotoh Schaller M6 clone machine heads onto my latest acquisition, a Washburn Oscar Schmidt acoustic with quite a good sustain. I sanded the bridge saddle about 2mm likewise the nut about 1mm, after measuring the string height to neck and guitar body, and now it plays quite reasonably.
The only strat-like thing I have is a black Ibanez Roadstar 2 1985 which will do most things a strat will do. It’s Ibanez’s strat copy. I let go of the best guitars I had. 52 Les Paul Gold top $90 from an NY pawn shop in 1967, and a 57 Les Paul Custom 3 PAFs nickel and abalone, Bigsby. $900 Australian, 2 months on the Melbourne Grant’s Standfast whisky bottling line. Shit, sounded and played like a dream Don’t ask.
I have three Ariel. A Godin semi acoustic, a Gibson 339, which I will probably sell, and a J45, which has become a body appendage.
I’ve owned a few others, but when I first picked up the J45 and started playing, I was hooked. The bottom end feels almost spiritual to me.
Those Folks who work at Gibson acoustic factory are craftspeople of the highest order.
Cheers🎶
Guitars for me were like girlfriends, they came and went and eventually I found what I wanted. My ’87 Takamine Jumbo Acoustic w/cedar top and my G&L Legacy Strat. Oh ya and a short scale Jag Bass for spanking it once and awhile. Guitars are like girlfriends they need love and attention…
As a friend used to say to me;
‘You’ve gotta play them in Johnny’
A guitar harem n’est ce pas, one for each day of the week?!…:)
ooo look its the anti-corbett posters . Edgy..!
Corbett gets the prime-time Friday night slot…
… Israel-bashing will have to wait for a more opportune time
Hardly any Israel-bashing.. when articles written by authors on this site are retracted and a big public display of never again to written by the site.
(Simon elmer for example)
That would be considered a very pro Israel stance.
Out of interest… Whats your thoughts in the massive demonstrations over there regarding Netanyahu coalition government before the Oct 7 happened.
The protests were primarily to do with the proposed judicial reforms, as opposed to being against the Netanyahu government per se. The extent to which Government legislation can be subsequently overturned by the Supreme Court. Perhaps similar to the way the House of Lords in the UK can hinder legislation from the House of Commons.
I have mixed views on it. There do need to be some checks and balances on Government legislation, and yet at the same time, if all legislation is questioned/overturned then what’s the point of an elected government?
Some related the proposed reforms to increasing the rights of ‘settlers’ over Palestinians, although the extent to which the Supreme Court has ever blocked such legislation is questionable.
In short, it’s a valid question. The protests were valid. The optimal relationship between Courts and Government is certainly a matter for due consideration and public concern.
Corbett makes my skin crawl
There’s an ointment for that.
It’s called Tolerance.
Why?
