James Howard Kunstler, the author of The Long Emergency, Too Much Magic, and The Geography of Nowhere will describe how the American people’s consensus about reality was broken and how we are likely to recover from the civilizational problems that broken consensus entailed.
Mr. Kunstler will argue that there is a pernicious group psychology at work that proceeds from the terror of losing the comforts of modern life as our techno-industrial economy enters a state of collapse. That collapse is being provoked by very real on-the-ground reordering of resource access, especially fossil fuels, and the interplay of that with the perversities lately introduced into the global scaffold of finance and credit.
Political opportunists have taken advantage of this collective state of mind to seek ever-expanding powers of surveillance, censorship, cancellation, and juridical harassment in an increasingly malevolent campaign to retain power. It has become a collective control neurosis, growing worse as events and circumstances actually spin out of control.
The fact is that power is inexorably devolving downward. Our federal government grows increasingly ineffectual, untrustworthy, and impotent, while states and great cities also fail politically and financially. The macro trend in the big picture is deep economic contraction, re-localization of decision-making, and the re-scaling of all our activities, including manufacturing, commerce, finance, and technological enterprise.

I’m convinced that the Great Lakes region will be at the center of an internally-focused North American economy when the hallucination of oil-powered globalism dissolves. Places like Buffalo, Cleveland, and Detroit will have a new life, but not at the scale of the twentieth century.

James Howard Kunstler is the author of The Long Emergency, Too Much Magic, and The Geography of Nowhere, plus the four-volume Word Made by Hand series of novels dramatizing the post-collapse American scene, plus a score of other books. His political blog, Clusterfuck Nation, comes out Monday and Friday mornings at www.kunstler.com. A selection of those blog-posts from 2017 to present, was published in Nov., 2023, with the title CrazyLand. He lives in the upper Hudson Valley two hundred miles north of New York City.

In 1966, Kunstler graduated from New York City’s High School of Music & Art, and attended the State University of New York at Brockport, where he majored in theater.
After college, Kunstler worked as a reporter and feature writer for a number of newspapers, and finally as a staff writer for Rolling Stone. During the 1970s and 1980s, Kunstler worked “a lot of odd jobs, from orderly in the psychiatric wing of the hospital, to digging holes for percolation tests in housing subdivisions”.
In 1975, he began writing books and lecturing full-time. Kunstler’s blog states that he has lectured at Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Dartmouth, Cornell, MIT, RPI, and the University of Virginia, has appeared before professional organizations such as the AIA, the APA, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Kunstler lectured on topics related to suburbia, urban development, and the challenges of what he calls “the global oil predicament”, and a resultant change in the “American Way of Life.” He lectured at the TED Conference, the American Institute of Architects, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the International Council of Shopping Centers, the National Association of Science and Technology, as well as at numerous colleges and universities, including Yale, MIT, Harvard, Cornell, University of Illinois, DePaul, Texas A & M, the USMA, and Rutgers University.
As a journalist, Kunstler wrote articles for The Atlantic Monthly, Slate.com, Rolling Stone, The New York Times Sunday Magazine, and its op-ed page where he covered environmental and economic issues. Kunstler is also a supporter of the movement known as New Urbanism.
His career peaked with the popularising of the concept of peak oil, for which he was a prominent spokesman, such as in the 2004 documentary The End of Suburbia. His 2005 book The Long Emergency became an oft-cited reference for the predicted imminent collapse of human civilisation. However, oil supplies increased due to fracking, and the collapse did not happen during the timeframe Kunstler predicted.

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are often depicted as sentient agents poised to overshadow the human mind. But AI lacks the crucial human ability of innovation, according to findings published in Perspectives on Psychological Science.
While children and adults alike can solve problems by finding novel uses for everyday objects, AI systems often lack the ability to view tools in a new way, researchers at the University of California, Berkeley concluded. Read more here.

One year ago, the appearance of OpenAI’s ChatGPT set off an AI arms race among Big Tech companies. Now it also has corporate America scrambling to reengineer key business functions, with machine learning playing a central role. Amid a fog of AI hype, however, the application of the technology in business is still very much a work in progress. While many efforts remain in the realm of R&D, some intrepid companies are helping push AI toward paying dividends in the near term. More here.

The year 2030 is shaping up to be the endgame year for a multitude of major globalist projects, which include humanoid robots that will replace much of the human labor force, both blue-collar and white-collar.
Communist China says it plans to begin unleashing its own humanoid robots, one of which is called GR-1, as soon as 2025. GR-1 will supposedly be so advanced as to render many human workers obsolete. Read more here.

In a joint statement released last week, OpenAI head Sam Altman and “Godfather of AI” Geoffrey Hinton warned that the existential threat of artificial intelligence (AI) to humanity is real.
Even though Altman, whose firm created ChatGPT, and Hinton are both profiting from AI, they admit, along with more than 350 other prominent figures, that AI could end up killing off most of humanity in the coming years. More here.

CORONA VIRUS – (COVID-19)
|
|
|
|
David Martin said that the virus called “coronavirus” was first described in 1965. Two years later, healthy British military personnel were infected with coronavirus pathogens from the US — “as part of our biological weapons program.” In 1992, Ralph Baric at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, took a pathogen that used to infect the gut and lungs and altered it with a chimera to make it infect the heart, causing cardiomyopathy. In November 2000, Pfizer patented its first spike protein vaccine. Martin explains why there are HIV fragments in COVID vaccines. The COVID shots were 19 years in the making by the time they were rolled out. Martin exposes more outrageous COVID crimes that include collusion, racketeering, criminal conspiracy murder that are ongoing.
All-cause mortality in the ages of 18 to 55 is now 40% higher in the people that were injected with a biological weapon. David Martin is a regular speaker at TransitionTalks and we expect him in Berkeley Springs in the 2nd quarter of 2024. Read more here.

In Nordic countries like Sweden and Finland, no deaths of children were reported even though they were not required to wear face masks.
Wearing face masks to counter COVID-19 provides no significant protective benefit to children, with kids facing potential developmental challenges from masking, according to a recent review of multiple studies.
The review, published in the BMJ Journal on Dec. 2, investigated the effectiveness of wearing face masks in children during COVID-19. Out of the 22 studies analyzed, 16 reported “no effect of mask wearing on infection or transmission.” While the remaining six found a protective association between mask wearing and transmission, these studies had a “critical or serious risk of bias.” Overall, “we fail to find any evidence of benefit from masking children, to either protect themselves or those around them, from COVID-19,” it stated.

At an International Crimes Investigative Committee (ICIC) session held earlier this month, a handful of experts on the subject, many whom you well know, discussed the matter of personality changes that have occurred in people who got “vaccinated” for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). Attorney Dr. Reiner Fuellmich interviewed Prof. Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, Prof. Dr. Karina Reiss, Dr. Naomi Wolf and Dr. Peter R. Breggin about various matters concerning COVID jabs, including what they are really for, what they are doing to people and what future vaccines will look like based on the emerging mRNA (or modRNA, according to some) technological framework.
Dr. Wolf, an author and journalist, talked specifically about the post-injection breaking of people’s will and what it looks like in the current state of the world. Dr. Breggin expanded upon this by highlighting the disturbing parallels between the effects of mRNA on the human mind and lobotomization practices of old. Read more here.

Is there a single health problem that isn’t caused by the COVID-19 vaccines? After three years of mass experimentation with these mRNA injections, there seems to be no limit to the type of adverse events that are recorded in pharmacovigilance systems around the world. There is much research on COVID vaccines causing myocarditis — a form of heart inflammation — but the inflammation does not end there.
Now, South Korean researchers are finding a causal link between COVID-19 vaccines and a host of blood disorders, inner ear diseases and musculoskeletal issues. Read more here,

This study, authored by medical leaders including Laura Korb Ferris, MD, and Todd Thames, MD, evaluated the impact of the DermaSensor device on PCPs’ skin cancer diagnosis and management. The study involved 57 U.S. board-certified PCPs who collectively completed over 5,000 assessments of skin lesions.
This recently published utility study follows a recently published preceding clinical study, which was conducted to determine the standalone performance of the device and was recently published by the American Academy of Dermatology2. The device, which employs elastic scattering spectroscopy (ESS) and machine learning, was found in this utility study to significantly improve PCPs’ referral of malignant lesions to dermatologists. This companion study was conducted to provide clinical evidence for European regulatory authorities as well as initial effectiveness evidence for the FDA. The device has been under review by the FDA since early 2023; it is not currently available for sale in the United States. Read more here.

Australian researchers are putting together a supercomputer designed to emulate the world’s most efficient learning machine – a neuromorphic monster capable of the same estimated 228 trillion synaptic operations per second that human brains handle.
As the age of AI dawns upon us, it’s clear that this wild technological leap is one of the most significant in the planet’s history, and will very soon be deeply embedded in every part of our lives. But it all relies on absolutely gargantuan amounts of computing power. Indeed, on current trends, the AI servers NVIDIA sells alone will likely be consuming more energy annually than many small countries. In a world desperately trying to decarbonize, that kind of energy load is a massive drag. More here.

From the Arctic to the Pacific, Indigenous communities have used unique design and building techniques for millennia to help them survive in some of the most challenging environments on Earth.
Now, as the UN World Meteorological Organization confirms that 2023 is ‘almost certain’ to be the hottest year on record, traditional architecture’s potential is gaining international attention – for its potential to allow humans to live in a hotter world but also because it has less impact on the planet.

A study developed jointly by Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) and the spin-off BeDimensional has identified a solution based on ruthenium particles and a solar-powered electrolytic system. Small ruthenium particles and a solar-powered system for water electrolysis can produce green hydrogen more efficiently and cheaply.
The technology, developed in the context of the Joint-lab’s activities and recently published in two high-impact factor journals (Nature Communications and the Journal of the American Chemical Society) is based on a new family of electrocatalysts that could reduce the costs of green hydrogen production on an industrial scale.

The Coastal Virginia offshore wind farm, located between 27 – 42 miles (43 – 67 km) off the coast of Virginia Beach, will be able to produce renewable energy for more than 660 000 homes in the region, and avoid the emission of greenhouse gasses equivalent to removing 1 million vehicles from the road each year, once it becomes operational in 2026.
This new facility, operated by Dominion Energy, will have 176 turbines with an energy output of approximately 2.6 GW, divided into three areas. In each area, the turbines will be connected by inter-array cables to each of the three offshore substations, where the power produced will be transformed from 66 kV to 235 kV. From these stations, the energy will travel to shore via three 235 kV 3-core cables. More here.

SECURITY & THE FUTURE OF WARFARE

The UN is warning that half of the population of Gaza is starving, and they say that nine out of ten people there are unable to eat every day because of the lack of supplies. “The hunger war has started,” Nawras Abu Libdeh of Medical Aid for Palestinians told the AP last week. The World Food Program has said that Gaza is on the brink of famine, and unless there is a sudden halt to the war and an end to the siege millions of people are going to fall off that cliff.

Why has Israel overwhelmingly targeted Palestinian civilians in its attack on Gaza? Israeli leaders have told us repeatedly collective punishment is Israel’s official policy, the current attack has just taken it to the next level.
It is the fifty-sixth day since the Hamas attack on October 7 that resulted in the deaths of about 1,200 Israelis. The ensuing Israeli onslaught has by now killed over 15,000 Palestinians, including over 6,000 children. A negotiated temporary ceasefire, with extensions, has seen the exchange of several hostages between Israel and Hamas, freeing the initially agreed 150 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for 50 Israeli captives, with a few extensions raising those figures to 180 Palestinians and 105 Israelis (and other nationalities). The Israeli bombings have now resumed, with Israel now urging residents in the south of the strip to evacuate (earlier, residents in the north were urged to evacuate south). More here.

Israel Hayom carries a story alleging that Bibi Netanyahu has tasked his closest political confidant, Ron Dermer, with devising a plant that would “thin out the population of Gaza to a bare minimum.” Israel claims it is not ethnic cleansing, but a humanitarian gesture.
Israeli security ministers and military command are now debating about the “day after” in Gaza. There is no clear consensus among them. The Biden administration has expressed clear views that there be no ethnic cleansing, nor displacement of the population in northern Gaza in order to expand the buffer zone. It also is urging a free flow of humanitarian aid. But Netanyahu is resistant due to the constraints of his far-right coalition partners, who hold him hostage on such issues. It may try to deflect American demands with “we’ll try.” Though this means nothing. Read more here.

Tel Aviv has been relying on an AI Program dubbed the Gospel to select targets in Gaza at a rapid pace. In past operations in Gaza, the IDF ran out of targets to strike in the besieged enclave.
A statement on the IDF website says the Israeli military is using the Gospel to “produce targets at a fast pace.” It continues, “Through the rapid and automatic extraction of intelligence,” the Gospel produced targeting recommendations for its researchers “with the goal of a complete match between the recommendation of the machine and the identification carried out by a person.” More here.

Americans today have the “freedom” to be fleeced, censored, wiretapped, injected, disarmed, detained, groped and maybe shot by government agents. Politicians are hell-bent on protecting citizens against everything except Uncle Sam.
“We live in a world in which everything has been criminalized,” warned Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. There are now more than 5,200 separate federal criminal offenses and tens of thousands of state and local crimes. Thanks to the Supreme Court, police can lock up anyone accused of “even a very minor criminal offense,” such as an unbuckled seatbelt. More here.

The government wants us to believe that we have nothing to fear from its mass spying programs as long as we’ve done nothing wrong.
Don’t believe it.

The Committee on the Judiciary and its Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government are empowered by the House of Representatives to examine how the Executive Branch interacts with American citizens and to investigate civil liberties abuses. History has shown how the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), with its vast power to reach into the lives of Americans, has the tremendous potential to violate the civil liberties of American citizens.1 As Justice John Marshall noted over two-hundred years ago, the “power to tax involves the power to destroy.”2 The Committee’s and Select Subcommittee’s oversight demonstrates that Justice Marshall’s warning is as potent now as it was then.

It is a paradox that Jack Smith, who in my opinion has less integrity than the infamous Stalinist prosecutor Andrey Vyshinsky who prosecuted Stalin’s show trials of the Bolsheviks, was appointed director of the Justice (sic) Departments Office of Public Integrity. Perhaps recognizing Smith’s lack of concern with justice, Merrick Garland, the worst Attorney General in US history, sicced Jack Smith on President Trump and Trump supporters who attended the Trump rally labeled an “insurrection” by the whore media and Democrat Party.
The way Smith got his convictions was to intentionally misapply law in order to coerce innocent people with a 20 year prison threat into a plea bargain. In other words, by intentionally misusing law he forced people to convict themselves via self-incrimination, which is what a plea bargain is. Read more here.

Promising “exclusive content from the Gaza Strip,” a Telegram channel reportedly operated by a unit of the Israel Defense Forces regularly posts grotesque videos and images that depict the killing and mutilation of Palestinians—often accompanied by celebratory captions and emojis.
Citing an unnamed senior military official, the Israeli newspaper Haaretzreported Tuesday that the channel—titled “72 Virgins — Uncensored”—is run by the IDF Operations Directorate’s Influencing Department, which is tasked with carrying out psychological warfare initiatives. Read more here.

Rishi Sunak is considering limiting social media access for teenagers under the age of 16 to try to protect them from online harm, with reports suggesting a potential ban is on the cards.
The government is considering further action despite bringing in the Online Safety Act, which requires social media platforms to shield children from harmful content or face fines of up to 10% of a company’s global revenue. A consultation would be launched in the new year, Bloomberg first reported, to explore the risks that children were exposed to while using social media. More here,

Following the Wayfair scandal from several years back, another questionable situation has emerged on the Etsy online marketplace platform where users are publishing suspicious listings that some say appear to suggest a pedophilia problem.
Numerous suspicious listings on Etsy are circulating the internet, including one with a “picture of a pizza” listed for sale at $9,000. Said listing reads “delivery instant download,” and in the associated picture, a mobile phone is seen strategically placed inside the pizza box. In case you did not know, the word “pizza” is a pedophile code, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Justice (DOJ). Law enforcement documents and mainstream media articles, including a fairly recent one from The Wall Street Journal, also address the word “pizza” and what it means in pedophile circles. More here.

Sam Ghelli, 23, was ready to quit her previous job when her manager made an impassioned plea. “He was like, ‘How much do I have to increase your salary to make you stay? I want you to stay here,'” Ghelli said. But Ghelli, true to the stereotype of a Gen Zer, stuck to her guns. She was determined to leave the job because the culture at the company was no longer working for her. And, ultimately, her Gen X manager did help her out — by helping her find new roles and hopping on the phone with her now-boss. That might not sound like a typical relationship with a boss you’re leaving. Ghelli, a 2022 college graduate, is one of the Gen Zers trying to reshape work.
The pandemic recession-battered generation has lived through a Great Rethink of work that started right as they received their first offer letters. An economy shaped by labor shortages and the Great Resignation briefly bent to workers’ desires for higher pay, more flexible hours, and people-first policies.

The massive price increases seen in 2022 appear to be the handiwork of companies looking for more profits at the expense of their customers, according to a study.
The study by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) and Common Wealth think tanks looked at 1,350 companies listed on stock exchanges in the U.K., U.S., Brazil and South Africa. It found that major companies in the food, mining, oil and gas, technology, telecommunications and banking sectors leveraged their market power to implement substantial price hikes. This, in turn, ensured that their companies made “super profits.” More here.

A California dog walker had the opportunity to adopt a disabled chicken, and social media loved him so much they’ve sent over 60 pairs of tiny shoes and boots.
The Malaysian Serama breed chicken lost his toes to leg scale mites, a debilitating arachnoid parasite.

A pit bull named Bolo needed just one day with the officers at the Hopkinsville Police Department for them all to fall in love. Now sworn in as the first-ever “Paw-trol Officer” Bolo has found his fur-ever home.
Arriving at the station in Hopkinsville Kentucky as part of a publicity program for the nearby Christian County Animal Shelter, Bolo was only meant to stay for a day and contribute his handsome face to the Department’s social media posts as a means to help him find a home.
“Oddly enough, everybody fell in love with him,” said Police Chief Jason Newby. “So when it came time for him to go back that day, they got him in his cage, and he kind of dropped his head and whimpered, and everybody’s heart melted, and we decided to adopt him.” More here.
