Quote"You do realize there are three letter government agencies that can already cancel your credit cards any time they want.  Don't you?"
always gets ignored.  It mystifies me that the truly paranoid never consider that shit already happens.  It always is in a future and never right now to them.

Which is why many people who are at-risk of being targeted for investigation by the FBI, DEA, ATF, IRS, NSA, CIA, INS, TSA or BHS keep a substantial amount of money in CASH in Safe Deposit Boxes or buried in one of the National Parks off the main trails and keep the lat/lon of the location in a file encrypted with GPG4USB on a MicroSD card in a waterproof capsule they store in their Prison Wallet.  Not only your Credit Cards can be stopped, but you bank accouunts and stock trading accounts all can be frozen in a matter of seconds leaving you only with the money you have on you if you need to skip town.

This of course is the reason for numbered Swiss Bank Accts, Cayman Islands Accts and why many held very high hopes for Crypto as a means for having stored money Da Goobermint can't touch if you run afoul of their approval of your activities.  Of course, folks whose activities include things like Drug Smuggling and Weapons Trafficking have a lot to worry about in this regard, so most people tend to believe if you are just a nice law abiding citizen you have nothing to worry about, but sadlly that is not necessarily true.  Mistaken Identity and Identity Theft can be a problem, and targeting for political purposes is most certainly possible also.  J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI was well known for making miserable the lives of anyone he disagreed with politically who had even limited notoriety.

Crypto has turned out to be not so great and Gold can be problematic due to the fact any transactions over I think $600 have to be reported to the IRS.  Offshore bank accounts can be hard to get the money from if you don't have a functioning bank acct here to transfer money to.  So, CASH remains King as the money safety valve in the world of plastic and digital currency that has evolved.

Cash itself can be a problem to work with except in small transactions of say <$10K, but once you wanna buy something bigger than that it can be difficult to pay cash.  If you walk into a Porsche dealership and wish to pay Cash for a 2023 Porsche 911 which retails around $300K, I'm pretty sure a call will be made to the local cops on the high probability you are a drug dealer. lol.  Same thing buying a house, I'm not sure walking into a closing with a briefcase with $500K in it to buy a McMansion if it is that easy to just hand over the briefcase and get the Title signed over by the seller without having bankers and lawyers all hovering around.

In any event, I have never had that much surplus money around to need to bury it or use a safe deposit box, but I have always recommended all Doomers keep a few grand in cash around for emergencies.  On occassions all the cash machines and store POS registers all suffer an outtage, having cash to buy your smokes is essential.

I asked WHD to name an eco-socialist and he never did so I will.


In the video JBF makes an excellent point that one reason ecology is always a back-page item, is because socialists invented the concept.

JBF gets no argument from me on that.

I did in fact - every moron who utters the words "climate crisis" when what they really mean is, I want control over your life and to depopulate the planet.

The only thing worse than capitalists devouring the biosphere is socialists who talk about saving the planet when what they really are advocating for is genocide.

No, genocide has the-ide suffix, like fratricide, suicide and homicide.  It requires killing people.

Depopulation as it is currently operating is  lowering the birth rate below replacement level.  No killing required.

This is neither a capitalist or socialist phenomenon, it's a biological one and no goobermint of any flavor has found a means to stop it.

Everybody has their own pet theory on why this is happening across so many different countries all at the same time.  Personally, I think it's basically economics, kids just cost more than most people can afford to pay, or want to pay.  There really isn't much reward for it anymore either.  Used to be kids were parents insurance policy for when they got old.  Now, kids either disappear and move away, or they are a continuing drain well into their 20s and 30s.  So why go through all that sacrifice when you can live better without them?

Well,  50% of the Meatsacks populating the planet are always below average intelligence, by definition.  That never changes no matter how many stupid people you kill off. lol.

Now, just for argument sake, say we pulled Thanos out of the MCU to snap his fingers while wearing the glove with all 6 Infinity Stones and instantly vaporize everybody with an IQ below 100.  With Earth's new population of 4B people, the median score is again 100, by definition.  Just it is a smarter 100 than the prior test done with 8B people.  It is not clear however if either 100 score is smart enough to eliminate stupidity.

From my own admittedly skewed perspective, I have found just about everyone I ever met with an IQ of 100 to be pretty stupid. Starting around 110, I find some people who are not stupid, they just don't test well.  At 120, about half of them are smart, then about half are stupid but test well.  Starting around 130, you rarely find a stupid person who can generate a score that high.  At 140, everybody is smart, unequivocally.  You just can't generate a score that high without being very smart.  So, if I was doing eugenics based depopulation selecting for smart people and making absolutely sure no stupid people sneak in and stay alive, I would probably put the cutoff score at 135.  That is exactly the 99th percentile score, coincidentally.  1% of the population makes the cut for eliminating human stupidity.  Fortunately for me, I make the cut with plenty of room to spare.  ;D  That would cut the population from 8B to 80M, and would be a really roomy earth where everybody could have a nice big chunk of land to live H-G, Permaculture, or techno Aquaponics powered by all renewable energy, your choice of Xanadu.

All that being said, stupidity isn't the proximal problem with the population of Homo Saps right now, it's demographics.  Way too many old folks, too few children and too few homo saps of breeding age.  So, if you were to bring in Thanos for a genocide based solely on age distribution, he should snap his fingers and vaporize everyone above the age of 40.  That knocks off 3B people and allows you to reset social security and medicare liabilities to 0.

Ideally for me, all men with an IQ below 135 and all women above age 40 should be vaporized by Thanos.  8)

To add, "smart" people were more likely to take the covid jabs than "stupid" people, so smart can also be quite stupid, and stupid can be smart, depending on how you measure it.

Let the socialists do it and they tend to focus on killing all the smart people who don't need control freaks.

I don't think smart people were any more likely to get vaxxed than stupid people.  Plenty of idiots got vaxxed.  I got it, but only because it was mandatory in the Gulag I was incarcerated at during the 1st wave when it was a panic response.  Actually my facility had a 50% mortality rate right before I got imprisoned there.  That's how a bed opened up.  The guy who was in my closet before me died of covid.  I doubt I would have contracted it with or without the vaxx.  I just don't get viral diseases.

In any event, covid was a tiny blip on the radar of death.  3 million people, maybe.  A nothingburger.

Yes it does, but as I have explained in excruciatingly long and politically incorrect fashion, it's the BIRTH RATE, not the death rate that is causing the population drop rate of change.  People aren't dying all that much faster (yet), they aren't being BORN! .84 births/woman in Korea, 1.34 bpw in Japan, 1.28 bpw China, 1.64 FSoA.  You gotta go to India which is mostly agrarian and the women are barefoot and pregnant to get just over the 2 needed for replacement at 2.02.

Your obsession with vaxx is blinding you to the real problem.  Relatively speaking, more people dying from whatever cause, war, famine, vaxx, fast food etc is a tiny problem numerically.  A birth rate like S, Korea at .84 could cut their population in half in a generation.

Korea could cut their population quickly but Korean top dogs who don't care about population will soon be concerned with the number of men in their standing army.  They will propagandize to have the rate back up.

To increase the German population, the Nazis encouraged their teenagers to have lots of sex.  (which they did when the Russians got there)


The Nazis established two organizations to control and manipulate German teenagers. For boys, they had the Hitler Youth and for girls, they created the League of German Girls. They established both organizations in 1936.

The League of German Girls was the girl's wing of the Hitler Youth. Because of sexual promiscuity, the organization got the nickname "The League of German Mattresses."

From a Medium article, which I no longer have a subscription to.  I can't see the rest.

I think "League of German Sluts" has a better ring to it.

Supposedly this technique has been tried by the Japanese but the teens are not interested in having sex, except with their smartphones.

RE

I want to add a related economic reason why we have the lowered birthrate and population decline:  Women's Liberation.

In the 1970s, women began to move into the work force in droves.  This was explained by sociologists as a Liberation of women from the droll role of being a mother and homemaker to having equal opportunity with men to be Doctors, Lawyers, Politicians, Astronauts...whatever a little girl could dream of for her future could come true.  No longer did she have to restrict her dreams to the fabulous Wedding she would have and glamorous Wedding Dress.

In reality, Women's Liberation was really Women's Enslavement into the Drone Workforce of Capitalism.  Most women did not become Astronauts, they became Bus Drivers, Real Estate sales women and Travel Agents.  They didn't go to work because they wanted to be liberated from being barefooy and pregnant, they went because in the growing Capitalist society it was the only way a couple could afford to buy a house.  You had to have 2 incomes, in most cases.  Unless one person had an Elite level, high paying job like Doctor, to have enough money for a downpayment, the wife had to go to work.  Once they went out, they didn't want to go back.

Although a zillion movies were made depicting the Super Moms who had it all, kids and a fabulous career, the reality was and is if a woman works, if she has time and money enough to pop one new meat package out of her vagina she is doing good.  1 kid instantly wipes out all the economic advantage the couple had by both working, since most of the 2nd income goes to Day Care, Braces, Clothes, Gymnastics or Hockey and saving for the kid's future college tuition.

Women going to work didn't happen just in the FSoA, it happened all over the world, particularly places like China, Japan and Korea, which became the main electronics Factory countries of Capitalism.  For that type of drone production line work, a females finer, smaller fingers were better for assembling transistor radios and cassette tape recorders.  Ever see the inside of an old transistor radio from the days before printed circuits and silicon chips?  All the little resistors and capacitors squeezed together on a bakelite circuit board and wired together with little needlenose pliers.  I made a few Radio Shack project kits for Science Fairs in elementary school.  It is tedious work, and to do this day in and day out 12 hours a day to make radios had to be mind numbing.  Those women were not in the mood for baby making after getting home from work.  Thus, it is the Asian countries that have the absolute lowest birth rates in the world.

Where do they still make enough babies to replace their parents plus additional ones to emmigrate toward the rich low birth rate countries?  You guessed it; countries which still have a primarily agrarian population where Capitalists did not build factories, and where the women are still barefoot and pregnant, and often wearing a hajib.  Muslim countries in the Middle East and Africa, in other words.

Why didn't capitalists put their factories there?  Partially due to political instability and geography, but also because having both the Means of Production AND the Natural resources in the same place would have made those places independent of the trade network and bankers control.  Raping their natural resources and keeping them in perpetual Debt Slavery kept the Capitalist Illuminati rich and powerful, but doing that doomed the Homo Sapiens to perpetual enslavement until all the resources and energy are consumed.

At that point, the current slow depopulation via birthrate decline and gradual shrinkage will turn into a torrent of death and destruction, as Famine, Plague, war & Death consume the planet.

Cometh the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the inevitable result of the Global Conquest of Capitalism, who rode in upon the White Horse, ending with Death upon the Pale Horse, and Hell followed with him.

6 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
