Waiting for the results of the U.S. electiont feels like circling in a jet for hours waiting to land, at the risk of being diverted.

Travelling to Toronto around 1976 to visit my parents, the plane landed at Montreal but could not take off again due to a snow storm.

We passengers were put on a bus, with ill-fitting doors, to shiver our way for six hours down to Toronto.

At least we knew we'd make our destination eventually; the skies were still free. In this election, the outcome, even when one of the candidates declares victory and the other concedes, is far from certain.

About Kamala Harris the less said the better. If she is installed, it will be as a candidate with a legend more opaque than the shadowy elitist Barack Obama.

Clowns to the… Jokers to the…

Outrage from stage left, entertainment from stage right. My favourite was Joe Biden calling the opposition's supporters garbage. The White House altered the presidential record to soften his words.

They have worn out the word Orwellian. And then Donald Trump turned up in a bin man's reflective vest, sitting atop a garbage truck.

Gotta give props to Trump for doing four rallies a day. Voters were stentorian, 75 million voting by Nov 4th — and yet the campaign was unsatisfying.

The amount of impedance, resistive and reactive, is ohminous (irresistible pun).

Despite the high jinx, the deep state grumbled in the background. The most notorious war hawks of the early 2000s — Dick Cheney, the McCain family, and a daughter but not George W Bush himself — lined up behind the Democratic party.

The war tendency likes any horse, so long as it’s Trojan.

Yet much was NOT discussed, topics flew under the radar, while the press did its best to distract us with identity politics and pure invention.

There was nothing, for example, about the life-transforming, socially cataclysmic events of the past five years.

Trump was not held to account for the Covid response and the "safe and effective" — not even by Joe Rogan.

In my opinion his compliance and silence is due to the fact that the Covid response was a project of the military, which created and deployed the vaccine, but you are entitled to yours.

Is Trump controlled? The Dems have spent nine years digging for dirt, finding fewer weaknesses than in the average person — and why would he give up his retirement to stay in the race as he has done since 2015?

Yet it feels wrong to wade into partisan politics when the technocrats are open about their intent to dispense with politics. One Google founder says AI will make voting redundant; Yuval Harari says free will is a myth.

Better focus on artisan politics, than partisan.

Digital nirvana

The trouble with war as a political issue is that it’s always "over there."

Trump has promised if elected to end Ukraine's war with Russia, but the country would likely remain militarised.

Volodymyr Zelenskiy and his British handlers plan to turn Ukraine, said Max Blumenthal, into an “ethno-nationalist, Spartan, hyper-militarized bastion, armed to the teeth by NATO, existing for years in a state of permanent war against Russia, and we, the taxpayer, nothing we can do about it.” Zelenskiy in April 2023 said:

“We cannot talk about being a Switzerland of the future but we will definitely become a big Israel, with its own face. We will not be surprised to have representatives of the armed forces and the national guard in all institutions, supermarkets and cinemas. There will be people with weapons. I am sure that our security will be the number one issue in the next 10 years.”

Such a state clearly would brook no opposition or dissent. Zelenskiy has banned his political opposition, amounting to 11 political parties, on the pretext that they have ties to Russia and has shut down much of the media.

Degrowth and war

Remember, too, that Ukraine is a testing ground for the World Economic Forum's model of social control. Ukraine and South Africa were the first countries outside of China to launch digital ID and social credit.

The methods by which we wage war abroad eventually come home, to be imposed on the domestic population.

We have discussed war in many notes; no need to repeat comments here.

There was no discussion of the Net Zero agenda. I refer not to climate science but the response which is "hoist with (its) own petard."

Who can point to a plan to save humanity? There is a gaping hole where there should be a whole-of-society strategy to transition to lower energy use.

If you look the proposals to reduce energy consumption, it leans heavily on halting travel and imprisoning people within 15 minute zones.

C40 Cities is the globalist project to tackle climate change. On reducing energy consumption it says: "share good practices on water management... provide guidance to improve energy efficiency in buildings... local use of low emission local heating and cooling systems." [1]

Simply put, that's a joke. If the climate emergency is a fraction as bad as they claim, that is a lame response.

At least Maui, Hawaii residents experienced those "good practices on water management" when the county restricted water to fight the wildfires on the grounds of equity.

The deputy director of water management, M. Kaleo Manuel promotes an holistic “One Water” approach in which water is revered, not used. Water requires “true conversations about equity,” he said in a 2022 video.

We live in a wondrous time because we are able to weigh these technocrats' words, in real time, against their actions. This gives us the power to pin politicians like butterflies to a board and confront them with their own actions, contrasted with their words.

But we did not. Why is that?

A genuine transition to low-consumption society would require a bottom-up, grass roots, whole-of-society effort: imaginative, and ground breakingly inventive.

What we have instead is a process, driven by a clique obsessed with shoe-horning reality into models. They impose standards which are simply labels, so they can box-tick their targets and claim to have met managed outcomes.

This recalls the scientific absurdity of the Soviet bureaucrat Trofim Lysenko who believed he could teach wheat to grow in winter. He framed his ideas in Marxist terms to gain political protection and used this power (1920s-1960s) to silence critics and send rival scientists to the GULAG.

Lysenko’s victims — in an eerie and ironic inversion — were the early geneticists, and tens of millions who died in famine. Wikipedia says Mao Zedong adopted his methods starting in 1958, with calamitous results, contributing to the Great Chinese Famine of 1959 to 1962.

As we shall see, without free speech there is no scientific research. The ominously numbing phrase, "the science is settled" has become not just a guide to medicine or the weather but an instruction on the virtue one must signal to be accepted in society!

We ignore this human experience — for it is not dry history — at our cost. We let XR have the stage, while Extinction Rebellion whips up an emotional response, (mis)directed at CO2.

Carbon is essential to the financialisation of nature. Poorer countries will be able to put their forests into a contract to offset polluting or carbon-producing activities by the rich.

Pirates of the Caribbean

Then they'll be able to borrow against these forests. But woe betide if they default on those loans or fail to fulfil the contract in any way. The carbon brokers will sue; the banks running the carbon market will foreclose, the asset will be seized.

The rich who control or invest in manufacturing will, through this process, get their hands on new colonies as surely as they did during the days of European Empire.

This is one reason we see NATO expanding into the South Atlantic. It already has Colombia and Brazil on board, Argentina is next.

This is not "climate denial" or political point-scoring; it is well-intended question, given we have been told since the 1970s that the world will end every 10 years. If it is an existential crisis, where is the plan to move the population to sustainable living?

Remember the Covid response was imposed within a month, with identical language, by leaders around the world, while in many countries legislators were sent home, paid bonuses to stay safe and say nothing.

We saw governments in lock step on Covid yet where is the similar response to floods in the Carolinas and Valencia, where bodies still under the mud. People pelted the Spanish prime minister with mud, forcing him to flee, complaining of government inaction. [2]

Greater good

What kind of greater good is imposed on humanity without debate, as if the universality of the act is justification enough? This is the essence of totalitarianism.
