Thanks for the well wishes. Have a few more weeks before the chemo leaves my body. I’ve been on a lot of steroids and have put on 20 lbs. and have a bit of a moon face going, so time to get those out of my system as well. Fortunately, I was able to keep the majority of my workouts intact. I think that helped a lot, certainly a lot more than people might know. I believe there’s something about getting your heart pumping and increasing circulation. I have no proof, just a hunch.
As with all major events in our lives, we hope that there is a purpose or reason for why we need to go through certain things, something to learn about ourselves. God had some lessons in this for me, a change in the way I think about certain things, myself, and those close to me. I hope that the lessons will stick, and I don’t disappoint. 🙂
Now, the big question is how will my hair grow back? Will it be curly? Red? I guess some people’s hair comes back different. 🙂
I strongly suspect she is wrong or just lying. China had decades of very good years even more than the USA had from 1945 to 1975. We created 350 million new middle class people there and they built up their military and today is considered the worlds second biggest economy after the USA. So they are going into a transition with a loaf under each arm, like the USA did after 1971.
After the idiots running America started giving our jobs our jobs away after 1970, they made us survive by creating unneeded work like the environmental protection agency jobs and all kinds of dumb ass jobs that created NOTHING of value. like tax supported solar and EV cars. The USA (and gold) are finally getting better since 9/11/01 tipping point.
I remember when all our machine shops started closing up around our 1970 peak prosperity here. People losing jobs started selling used cars or going into gov’t jobs or retail jobs, which were ok until the growing poverty here got bad enough and taxes high enough, to get Trump elected, and he’s helping the transition back to what we were before 1970. Hopefully they didn’t start too late.
But things that have to happen, eventually do happen, like the end of Chinese production and the beginning of US production of things that have value. I was in manufacturing since 1962 and I considered manufacturing like legal counterfeiting. We are not allowed to make $100 bills, but we are allowed to make things that can be exchanged for $100 bills or worth $100.
Carney is certainly a breath of fresh air compared to his predecessor. Not difficult
He has decided to put some of his beliefs aside for the benefit of reshaping Canada.
Canada is a small country of only 40 million people. Compare this to the trillions of dollars of resources.
The future can be very exciting for all. The short term will be very challenging but trade diversification is job one now. We were caught flat footed when Trump illegally reneged on his own free trade deal. This deal the (paraphrasing) “greatest free trade deal ever negotiated by any US president in history”
Wheat and soya exports are already picking up here as customers look for more trusted suppliers.
That Moroccan scam was never going to work…….first off the Sahara is almost as bad as the North Sea, for a hostile environment ..it is constantly shifting and would cover the panels over time…secondly the resistance moving electricity that far, would probably mean you couldn’t boil a kettle, with what came out in the UK.
Israel took a much bigger beating than they allowed to be reported. I think they HAD to agree to the ceasefire, because they couldn’t stop the onslaught and as you say we are running out of ammo for them.
Otherwise, they would continue to bomb, there is just no way in Hades that Netanyahu would take orders from Trump. If he’s hellbent on war, he’s going to pull the trigger anyway. They just bombed southern Lebanon a couple of days ago, but hopefully he’s sane enough not to use nukes.
OTOH, time is getting short, and the Lord will move the chess pieces however he wants.
Canada is in deep trouble. It will be interesting to see how the vote for secession goes in Alberta and Saskatchewan. They hold all the cards for Canadian energy. Carney is the worst of the worst Globalists. They have destroyed the white nations of the west. I haven’t given up on us just yet, but I think we can be expecting a false flag blamed on the Iranians anytime now in an attempt to get WWIII going, especially after the Ayatollah’s “FATWA” order.
It won’t be long now the carbon credits system will be installed (Carney and his buddies will make a fortune) and you will be eating bugs once your credits are used up (oh and no more foreign holidays if you want to eat – no more flying).
This should wake a few people up – only a few though – oh – and I don’t agree with his prospects for crypto (the internet will not be free soon so good luck using it).
Nahhh … that will never happen here … Trump is a nice guy … right?
People are dumbed-down, drugged, and delusional.
They will awaken when forced to eat bugs because all their money has been stolen by cabal parasites.
You have to like this guy. Broad and up to date intelligence for his fellow man – it’s not looking good for Isreal right now. (will they use nukes?)
The West is running out of missiles, and they will need a lot of silver to make new ones. So the cabal will do everything they can to hold it back. It won’t work anymore with investors scooping up all the available physical silver remaining now.
The silver chart looks great. (Wave IV off the April low complete?) A close above $36 today is a significant buy signal. A close just below $36 is still a buy signal.
undersea cables was sparked earlier by the ZH article on the Moroccan solar farm for the UK being cancelled. The maps showed the cable going close to the Spanish and French shores rather than straight across the Bay of Biscay. The reason I found was that dangling a cable in three miles of water makes it too heavy. Bearing in mind it has to pay out at an angle you might have four or five miles of cable, many many tons, just hanging off the back of the boat and it would snap. They can lay aluminium cored lines deeper than copper ones for that reason.
Like I thought we probably would this am. We’re up about 2/3% in the early going. The dollar is down a little after the weak bounce Friday, rates down a couple bips. Hard to say if it will continue this way. Looks like the dollar wants to move up in the last hour or so.
Oil and Bitcoin flat. SM roaring ahead. Hard to imagine what that will look like when the Fed finally cuts. Probably a monster rally.
PM shares are steady.
I thought we’d be looking at a big dump last night. Glad we’re not, but there’s always time for that.🤔
That one in Iceland in 73 looked really bad and did swallow up homes but got the cattle out but then sadly no plans to where it could go had to put them down. I don’t know exactly what they did. I wonder if they could blow a path and down from the top of the volcano making a part lower where the overflow can follow down since it doesn’t blow up.
I wondered if custom and Pele had something to do with it. Other than they cannot control her lol If they know there is a path the lava goes guess just don’t build anything there. You know a lot more about them than me and never had a geology or any other kinda class on earth other than going to the beach with a few of them once and was interesting. I also won the bet as it was a northern Calf point Reyes beach with great white warnings no surfing and cold that it’s not gonna stop the surfers they’ll be there. And they were in their set suits. I saw a part of the land where it was moved and crossed in another direction over another peace of land. The epicenter of the early 1900 San Francisco quake.
I’m so clueless about it I don’t know what happens beneath where it comes from if it will leave a empty space someday or if thats just part of the missing space in my brain or if the core will cool at some point over it.
Past attempts to divert lava flows have been spectacularly unsuccessful. Army tried bombing a flow of Mauna Loa approaching Hilo, with no effect. There’s just too much, too viscous, too hot. Damming it up with rock pile walls is only a small diversion. Lava flows around the wall and engulfs it anyway. At this point the government will not allow any attempts to divert lava flows because they have been proven pointless.
Understand that the entire southern half of the Big Island is composed of lava rock from Mauna Loa. So yes, there are quarries that bust up the rock for gravel road building. Large boulders used for seawalls, etc. The entire terrain here is like broken or poured concrete!
The northern half of the island around Mauna Kea is much older decomposed lava that forms good red soil for farmlands. Where you do find rocky materials from Mauna Kea, they are soft and crumbly, eons old and decomposed.
As for energy, yes! There are geothermal wells in the east rift zone just five miles from my home where the wells have tapped into old lava pockets that are still molten hot. They tap the high pressure hydrogen sulfide gas bubble and circulate the heat to turbines before re-injecting it back into the well. 20-25% of the electricity for this island is generated at the geothermal plant.
Hawaiian Electric once had dreams of exporting our geothermal to the neighbor islands, but inventing high voltage cables that would withstand the deep ocean pressure between here and Maui is a problem that has not been solved yet.
Might be signing out soon but does Hawaii make use of the lava. Like roads buildings, gardens, energy, glass? That bad one that destroyed those homes although in a bad area, have they used technology to divert the flow away from populated areas?
In Iceland they used diversion like digging paths and barriers and sea water also to slow the flow for time to dig diversion paths. One actually made the bay better because the new land blocked the wind.
Sunday noon Hawaiian time, and nobody is here. But if you are quick, you can catch a live eruption of Kilauea Volcano spewing 1,500 ft fountains of lava. Sometimes these eruptions only last a matter of hours, sometimes for a day or so. Good luck!
