Ehh, this seems highly unlikely. What would they get out of it? Russia already has all the natural resources and Europe has none. On the other hand, Europe has a lot of reasons to want a war with Russia, such as the aforementioned resources or as a great big distraction from their own failing economies.

Usually a government's last resort is to start a war in order to stop internal uprising. The problem with this is Europe has imported millions of foreigners who won't fight in their armies. Europe is in a desperate situation: on the brink of economic collapse, an angry native population, and a mass of foreigners ready to loot whatever is left of value when the chaos starts. Europe is lost already - it destroyed itself. At this point Europeans might welcome the Russians if it meant they keep their pensions.

Kristen Ruby has some interesting takes on AI. She makes different AI models talk to each other for hours and hours until the emergent behavior shows up. She's able to bypass content filters placed on them this way.

That's some pretty intense music for something expected.

If a woman puts the lipstick on her bacteria hole, I would expect some bacteria to get on it.

From how I understand it, the 8000 tons officially on the books was given to the federal reserve as collateral by the Treasury to underpin the fractional banking system after the gold standard ended. Treasury got it from the nationalization (theft) of gold in 1933. The period when gold was circulating as money was the richest and most productive period in American history - I assume the gold accumulated here through enterprise as well as mining.

I believe the rest you're referring to was sent from Europe to the US for safekeeping during and after WWII, since the US was the only place it wouldn't be looted. I think the US will have the last laugh as much of the foreign-owned gold is confiscated by the US during the next monetary crisis. This is why we've heard of several nations demanding their gold back.

Obedience to God was the goal back then, of course, because certain powerful men could claim to speak for God. It's just another form of mind control. Not saying all the ideas in Christianity are bad, it certainly had some upsides, like keeping the weak minded folks from becoming destructive. I just wouldn't be getting your hopes up about some future reward.

Eric Weinstein, a mathematician and physicist, was forced out of Harvard by their shadow administration for not getting with the program. They want to control the field of physics, perhaps to prevent discoveries like the neutron (and leading to the atom bomb). The field of physics has been stagnant for over 50 years and all funding is put into "useless" string theory - which has no practical applications. It certainly could be a conspiracy.

I would love to see this. The globalist/technocrats in UK/EU will lose their minds when the US joins BRICS. A new golden age of industry and opportunity. Without US, Europe will be nothing but a vacation spot.

Not downvoting you for having an opinion, but usually people who call well-known physics a hoax aren't on the side of evidence.

I'm curious how it would respond to some of our hardliners on here who just deny the existence of space. LOL

He's right about that, but asteroid strike is only one of the existential risks humanity civilization is facing. Mad scientists could genetically engineer a super bug that wipes most of us out, or mad scientists trying to stop "climate change" could destroy the biosphere, or good ol' fashioned global thermonuclear war could bring civilization to its knees - just to name a few.

I don't think it will happen. American empire is past its prime and the tendency for large nations is to break apart rather than expand.

It's a natural consequence of capitalism, which prioritizes the pursuit of money above all else, seeking cheaper and cheaper ingredients, components, and labor, while selling for the same amount, or more.

Oh, is that what capitalism is? I suppose that's why Christians prefer communism...

I had bought a Kindle e-reader 2 years ago - the premium model - and used it a lot. It sat on the shelf for a few months when I got too busy for reading and when I picked it back up, it would not turn on. Letting it sit unused for too long means it missed a software update, which bricked the unit. Amazon simply offered me a 10% discount for a new one.

I won't make that mistake again.

Dude, I don't follow Alex Jones anymore, but to me it looks like he just lost weight and gave up on the rest of his hair. I heard he lost a lawsuit and was ordered to pay billions of dollars, effectively closing his business.

When people go through ordeals like that it changes them. Whether it's through stress or a new outlook on life, he was able to drop a lot of weight and he looks healthier than I've ever seen him.

I suspect it may be one of the intersectional identity politics markers the left has been using, much like race and queer sexuality, in their quest to stack as many underprivileged groups as possible that they belong in. In their bizarre political sphere these things are virtues to be praised. It's a competition to see who is the biggest victim and deserves the most charity. In their twisted minds, the ideal person would be a retarded black-asisn trans woman -- though I'm probably missing a few additional categories.

Coincidentally, that is why so many of the extreme left become trans women - because transsexuals and women are both more oppressed than straight men.

The concept of retirement has never made sense to me. It's better to have work to do. Nothing wrong with financial security, but I wouldn't want to live a life of leisure.

Why would any country give up territory for funny money at this stage? Denmark should demand settlement in gold.

Mormons believe Christ was born April 6th... but still celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December.
