It is incredible that the basics in life, which regular people routinely had and enjoyed with primitive technology and fewer resources than exist today, are now prohibitively expensive for all but the upper-middle class and above. Your example of dog ownership is a good one.
What happened? All those progressive do-gooders claim to care so much for the "common man" yet demand that the common man adopt their "best practices," which mean a burdensome regulatory state that only large businesses can navigate with their lawyers and lobbyists, meaning you now have to pay corporate America for something that regular people used to just do for themselves. Either that or rely on government assistance.
I think the coming social and economic upheavals will give our species a much needed opportunity to reflect on some big-picture issues. We're like a patient who gets on medication for a heart problem, which then causes side-effects, so he gets on another medication to treat the side-effects from the heart medication, but then the second drug also causes side effects requiring yet another drug to control, and eventually, the patient is on a whole cocktail of medications, when all he really needs is to go on a diet, get some exercise, and lose some weight to get his heart condition under control.
Forget progressive do-gooders...they are following orders or hunting for opportunities.
The underlying issue is that regulation is a weapon to suppress competition. Monopoly capital (multinationals) seek to consolidate market share, so they suppress competition by driving up regulatory costs which they themselves are able to pass on to consumers. In addition, de-skilling people or restricting autonomy creates lucrative markets for 'professional' (meaning licensed) service provision. This applies across all areas of life.
Another awesome piece. Have you read Alasdair Macintyre? He's a neo-Aristotelian. He argues that we live today in a moral post-apocalypse because we have forgotten the basic telos of morality, we use the words, but don't know what they mean.
When can we immigrate to Barsoom, it's going to hell on Earth
First I've heard of him. I'll need to look him up.
Barsoom is currently hiding behind a hyperspatial cloak, in order to avoid getting flooded with migrants from Earth's teeming multitudes. Mars is a wasteland, we swear.
Elon wants to take us there. Maybe he's a Thern. The Therns managed to screw up Barsoom, too. Anywhere we go we need to fight for what we want. Nothing is free,
"Our betters have conferred, and decided that since we keep outsmarting Malthus, we shall simply no longer be allowed to use our smarts" Indeed. One of the most influential books on my intellectual journey to the here and now was Joel Salatin's "Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal." It was painful to realize the extent to which the managerial elite (I had previously though government, but managerial elite is more accurate) fuck everything up with their stupidity, condescension, and graft. The Malthusian narrative that seems to be animating an acceleration in their irredeemable retardation is completely exasperating. I have faith that reality will ultimately assert itself, but in the meantime the thought of these morons getting chubby at the declining standard of living of the middle class as evidence of the prophecy they are actively promulgating is absolutely maddening. If only they could use their right hemispheres...
Well, we're dissidents so of course its all upside for us. We are the natural enemies of the managerial class. For them, it is mostly if not all downside. We have incompatible values, and as you've indicated, they are cunning. The horrific end game they hope to enjoy (you articulate some of it here, but someone just shared a disturbing article with me that does a good job of outlining what some of these retards look forward to https://www.theguardian.com/news/2022/sep/04/super-rich-prepper-bunkers-apocalypse-survival-richest-rushkoff) would not be as rewarding for them as the painful process of learning how to become a competent human being in the long run. All we can do is work to help facilitate them learning this the hard way. Unfortunately, this is probably the only way they CAN learn trapped by their egos with unparalleled certainty that they are the very best mankind has to offer. In reality, as you probably agree, they can't really be considered fully realized human beings. They are very much like children. That isn't to say they aren't formidable adversaries. You know, I think they're a lot like child soldiers. You might be tempted to underestimate or pity them, but they are nevertheless exceedingly dangerous. Perhaps more dangerous than adults by being utterly impervious to moral reasoning.
I think of them like gators. I don't hate a gator for being a gator, bit I'm not gonna stick my head in its mouth. Reason I go with a belly crawling reptile instead of an immature human is that I very much doubt they're capable of maturing. Best they can hope for is that when the dust settles, we keep some of them around in captivity to study, and maybe for kids to gawk at. Rejoining the human race is probably not in the cards for most of them, at a biological level ... 'paths are just wired too differently.
I think some could come around, or at least be integrated into society with sufficient cultural constraint to limit their worst impulses. This is speculative, but when in doubt I like to err on the side of optimism.
Pray for a mild winter my fellow ehuropeans... or throw down your governments. I hear in Netherlands they made progress and Schwab's sock puppet minister of agriculture had to resign.
I pray for a really harsh winter. Blackouts. Food shortages. Gasoline rationing. Nothing, but nothing, wakes people up as pain does. Most of the ones awake on the scamdemic are the ones that had to suffer in one way or the other because of it. The high-middle class and low upper class still had it way to good during the last 2.5 years. These are historically the part of the population that can lead a successful revolution. But they need to suffer first or at least feel sufficiently threatened. Once they see that their standard of living is under attack, they will be able to put two and two together and maybe start acting.
The circulation of elites is made possible when elements of the elite decide that change is inevitable and they calculate that it is in their interest to lead the change. There is no way of knowing when this will happen or what might be necessary for it to occur, though it is important to think it all through.
A crisis will surely bring some to their senses...but others will get nastier and more dangerous. Pain wakes people up, but it is distributed very unevenly. Do not assume anything. My assumption is that a shit-show will not bring out the best qualities of the mass-leadership class that form the sub-oligarchy.
They better plan on planting the farmland and feeding the damn refugees to the hogs, so there will be plenty of bacon to go with the oats, cabbages and turnips...
Let the old world commit suicide. The real shame is the innocent people who’ll get hurt along the way. The future looks, to me, far more alive than the present.
In a rare exception to our dystopian world, the Fauci puppy mill in Virginia was finally shut down by the Humane Society and 2,000 Beagles were freed. While most needed urgent medical care, many were distributed to Rescue centers throughout the southeast. The demands for the abused and neglected pups exceeded the demand, apparently. I tried to get one from Chattanooga and another from Raleigh, NC. In my home town, the local animal shelter is giving dogs away to anyone who wants one.
Correction: 4,000 beagles. All were removed starting mid July & they picked up the final load last week.
Here in the US there is a shortage of dogs in the north & a surfeit in the south. So there is a whole business around transporting the homeless up here.
Adoption prices range from $150 to $450, varying by dog's age, any medical or special needs, & the shelter. The transport, food & meds, & facilities don't come free!
The biggest problem I see is its largely pit bull mixes & they get adopted out to inappropriate people. "The party of science" insists that temperament is 100% handling, that they are sweet, safe family dogs & that a couple hundred years of selective breeding for dogs that kill dogs couldn't possibly result in a dangerous, heritable gene set.
Note in the interest of disclosure: My sr dog & I were attacked by a pack of large, unsupervised, aggressive dogs. I was able to drive off the 2 labs, but the pit went right around me & after my dog. It was horrific, eyelids torn & bleeding, the whites of his eyes were sheets red from internal bleeding. But he somehow freed his face from her jaws & was able to fight back, outsmarted her, grabbed her by the throat & pinned her.
For 10 years he was cautiously friendly to other dogs. Now, Gracie, my lab that he raised from a pup, is the only dog he allows within 10 ft.
I'm not the same either. Nothing like finding yourself on your hands & knees, in the road, trying desperately to free your dog's face from a pit's jaws.
As a dog lover, mom to 6 rescues and someone who was bit and attacked by one of my own, I feel for you and your pup. An untrained and uncontrolled dog is a danger to everyone. I wish everyone, including my neighbors understood this.
It's a huge rescue effort on their part. Not my fave rescue, but credit where it's due! They're actually rehoming them all over the country. A number of shelters in Maine just started receiving some. As far west as CA, OR & WA. Middle of the country. Pretty much every part of the country has stepped up.
Lunar saved me when he was a puppy & a neighbor's dog started to attack me. He was running away, turned at the top of the hill behind our house to see what was happening. Saw the dog start to launch at me & next thing I know a shrieking yellow blur flew down the hill & launched Homer's shoulder. Ran him right off our property, stopped at the boundary wall & ran back & forth on our side, baying at the top of his lungs. I'd just rescued him a month earlier, so ~7 months & less than half the attackers size. Black mouth cur. Herding/farm dogs that hunt boar & bear. I pulled him from a high kill shelter down south. (Shhh....he's an illegal alien up here!)
I had to save my little dog from a pit. I was able to lift it up by the neck before it got a grip on my pumpkin. Sprained a finger that will never be the same. It was worth it.
Just reading your comment filled me with the terror of fearing for your dogs life.
Thank goodness you were able to save your little dog. I've heard some real horror stories...
I took my dogs swimming the other day at a nearby lake. Just as I thought we might spend the afternoon there, someone showed up with a pair of belgian malinois. One was minding his own business, but one barking & growling as they passed by us. The owner had a good hold on him & quietly corrected, but as soon as they were out of sight, I hustled mine to the car. 10 minutes later, at the grocery, I realized I was still shaking.
Any sign of aggression now, my reaction is visceral.
My little pumpkin was also a senior. He didn't live too much longer after our confrontation with the pit. BTW, it occurred on my own property. Miss him everyday.
The herding lines herd cattle in the southwest. The hunter lines hunt bear & boar in the deep south. Both lines are also general farm dogs.
Luna was close to my 1st dog, Jake -- a lab/chow/heinz57 rescue. Luna was ~6 months when I rescued him. He was so terrified I couldn't get him out of the crate. Instead of dragging him out I brought Jake out. He stuck his head in the car, his face in the crate & a second later, Luna came bounding out. It was February & there was a mountain of snow by the driveway. 1st thing he did was climb the mountain & slide down head 1st on his back, over & over. He was ecstatic.
A month later a neighbor's loose lab started to launch an attack on me. Luna, who had been running away, turned, saw Homer drop his hips & growl, & came flying, baying at the top of his lungs. That dog was at least twice his size & he ran him right off our property, stopped at the border wall & ran back & forth along the wall baying at him. He was my hero.
Gracie, my lab, he tolerated as a puppy, letting her crawl all over him, chewing his ears. She's got him running & playing a bit again. And when a huge rottie-pit cross terrorized her when we were on a walk, she was afraid to come back outside later, shaking & depressed on the tie out. Instead of snoozing in the sun like usual, he parked himself in the front yard & kept watch. A bit later, she was ok. She knew -- & I know -- he would die to protect us.
Meanwhile in Canada because of rabies outbreaks in dogs in recent years as of Sept 30 you will no longer be able to import dogs from other countries. So, dozens of brokers posing as rescues are importing them now by the 1000's monthly. Idiots are paying 800-1000 $ for a dog, sight unseen (most with huge medical problems) from the mean streets of Afghanistan or Mexico or the meat markets of China etc like these dogs are even adoptable. What a disaster. People are ridiculous.
History rhyming, if not outright repeating. I've enjoyed a book Alex Jones put out recently talking about things, 'The Great Reset and the War For the World'.
I don't know if he's Mossad, controlled opposition or what have you, but that's beside the point. Many things going on that we don't know, to quote Lynyrd Skynyrd. Here's a quote from Klaus Schlub, fawning over China on page 200:
"Under the leadership of Chairman Mao, from 1949 to 1975, the Communist party of China (CPC) became the lone governing party of the country, ending the political turmoil more decidedly. The CPC founded the People's Republic of China as a single-party state which brought stability to the regime for the price of democratic freedom."
And I'm also praying for Ukraine, ha. Globalist testing grounds and money laundering headquarters, while being scapegoated and dehumanized like the Jews and Russians.
So, who's got the EMP? Whose button works? Any word yet on a bridge back to the 20th century? We've gone too far to turn back now, it seems. I know you probably don't get the reference but I feel like Squidward after he finished his final ride on a time machine. Moaning on the floor, writhing his tentacles...."future...future..."
Also, please don't take the jabs. Don't listen to the mandates and edicts, no matter how many donuts they dangle or free fries de Blasio tempts you with. Despite what this democidcal tripe is saying; https://gh.bmj.com/content/6/8/e006810.
I don't know, fellas. You ever seen 'A Boy and His Dog'? It's a gun and a dog, for me. Too many puberty blockers in the past to even think about putting my atrophied genitals to work. The future looks...bleak. But on we must go. Cheers⚔️ 🇺🇸
I suspect in reality they will hold off from any apocalyptic energy shortages this winter since that might well awake something (no CCTV, no lighting tends to make property crime rather easier for those that are into that sort of thing) and use it as a spectre to persuade the population to tolerate ridiculous energy bills bankrupting some and some businesses. I also think the level of incompetence is so high that the entire charade (WEF etc) might be a ploy to get the global population to accept a lesser version of global tyranny while thinking they’ve won.
Thank you John great Article! my wish as I share your writings is that a person or persons somewhere will read this and other writers sounding the alarm and see the light through well written opinions and get a better understanding of what is actually happening to our future and foster better dialogue between diverse ideologies to bring us closer in understanding.

The medical metaphor is on point. As above, so below.

Very much so. Shakespeare was wrong, it isn't the lawyers that need killing first. The regulators are far more important.

It's like we pay them to stand in the way and tell us we can't do things. Not for any good reason. Just because.
Pay them very well too.
Getting rid of them is basically all upside.

Pray for a mild winter my fellow ehuropeans... or throw down your governments. I hear in Netherlands they made progress and Schwab's sock puppet minister of agriculture had to resign.
Small victories. Now they just need to bring down the rest of the government and ensure that whatever replaces them repudiates WEFite policy in toto.

Well, we stop organizing on Substack, for one thing. But, yeah...
Yup. Read that today. Unbelievable. They were going to confiscate the farmland & use it to house refugees.
So we can all starve together, singing kumbala.
They better plan on planting the farmland and feeding the damn refugees to the hogs, so there will be plenty of bacon to go with the oats, cabbages and turnips...
What a beautiful way to describe this shitshow!

I used to swim in the sea with my neighbour's golden retriever.
Happy days
I can relate.
My little pumpkin was also a senior. He didn't live too much longer after our confrontation with the pit. BTW, it occurred on my own property. Miss him everyday.
People like that don't deserve dogs.
I hope your dogs are both OK now.
Did you say you have two labs? Which colours?
I have a yellow lab & a wheaten colored black mouth cur. The cur is my "senior" dog, 14 1/2 years. We were attacked when he was 10.
I had never heard of cur as a type of dog before but just looked for it online and they are so handsome.
It sounds like your two dogs have a special bond.
Just read that curs are often used to herd cattle so we don't have much space round here so that might be why I have never seen one before.
The herding lines herd cattle in the southwest. The hunter lines hunt bear & boar in the deep south. Both lines are also general farm dogs.

Your dogs sound utterly fabulous and what great names as well.
To be honest after the last few years I have been so let down by people that I prefer the company of animals.
Meanwhile in Canada because of rabies outbreaks in dogs in recent years as of Sept 30 you will no longer be able to import dogs from other countries. So, dozens of brokers posing as rescues are importing them now by the 1000's monthly. Idiots are paying 800-1000 $ for a dog, sight unseen (most with huge medical problems) from the mean streets of Afghanistan or Mexico or the meat markets of China etc like these dogs are even adoptable. What a disaster. People are ridiculous.
"The tree of life is dying, trim the top 1% and feed the roots'
"By ceasing to serve their function, they have become useless."
Money quote. It's classic projection. They are the most useless eaters of them all. Narcissists need to get out from in front of the mirror!
I think eating bugs is just a proxy to distract us from the extermination of pollinators a third of our food supply depends upon.

Thank you for mentioning this, William. And thank you for another excellent piece, John.
It should give everyone great pause to consider that we're in global lockstep with the 'Zero-Covid' narrative China proposed, (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/08/world/asia/china-zero-covid-explainer.html), when they've done monumentally stupid things like this, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Pests_campaign.
It really is the little things...
History rhyming, if not outright repeating. I've enjoyed a book Alex Jones put out recently talking about things, 'The Great Reset and the War For the World'.
I don't know if he's Mossad, controlled opposition or what have you, but that's beside the point. Many things going on that we don't know, to quote Lynyrd Skynyrd. Here's a quote from Klaus Schlub, fawning over China on page 200:

I mourn for the East. We think we're in Hell, but they're on and have been on another level of cruel and unusual. This is our century of Western humiliation. They're getting us back for the opioid wars with fentanyl. With cheap, blood soaked tech, (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/9006988/Mass-suicide-protest-at-Apple-manufacturer-Foxconn-factory.html) to sedate and stupefy our youth. Lots of spyware in their exports to boot, guaranteed. I can't say I blame them.
Hanoi Jane-esque of me, begging your pardon.
And I'm also praying for Ukraine, ha. Globalist testing grounds and money laundering headquarters, while being scapegoated and dehumanized like the Jews and Russians.

So, who's got the EMP? Whose button works? Any word yet on a bridge back to the 20th century? We've gone too far to turn back now, it seems. I know you probably don't get the reference but I feel like Squidward after he finished his final ride on a time machine. Moaning on the floor, writhing his tentacles...."future...future..."
Also, please don't take the jabs. Don't listen to the mandates and edicts, no matter how many donuts they dangle or free fries de Blasio tempts you with. Despite what this democidcal tripe is saying; https://gh.bmj.com/content/6/8/e006810.
I don't know, fellas. You ever seen 'A Boy and His Dog'? It's a gun and a dog, for me. Too many puberty blockers in the past to even think about putting my atrophied genitals to work. The future looks...bleak. But on we must go. Cheers⚔️ 🇺🇸
I suspect in reality they will hold off from any apocalyptic energy shortages this winter since that might well awake something (no CCTV, no lighting tends to make property crime rather easier for those that are into that sort of thing) and use it as a spectre to persuade the population to tolerate ridiculous energy bills bankrupting some and some businesses. I also think the level of incompetence is so high that the entire charade (WEF etc) might be a ploy to get the global population to accept a lesser version of global tyranny while thinking they’ve won.
We're already at that level now in the UK.
Fucking stupid money
Reminds me of a possible past life when we used to see if we could make anyone laugh with a witticism or joke as we entered the gas chambers.
Fimbulwinter comes. Gather firewood.
Not allowed to burn wood or most types of coal now - smoke free zones you see.
Great article, thank you.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you John great Article! my wish as I share your writings is that a person or persons somewhere will read this and other writers sounding the alarm and see the light through well written opinions and get a better understanding of what is actually happening to our future and foster better dialogue between diverse ideologies to bring us closer in understanding.
That is also my hope, and one of the things I'm trying to encourage with this project.
Great article. The first I’ve read from you, but I’ll be reading more for sure.
