The problem with gold is that the way to achieve central bank money debasement include neutralisation of those who need to stockpile gold.
And during that fight gold does not help a lot, since those who is behind central bank money debasement did everything to make nearly impossible to use gold as a mean of money saving. You will inevitably loose part of gold value at the moment of buying and at the moment of sell.
Useful skills (in making real things) and knowledge (of how real things works) is safe heaven for money, not precious metals or anything else.
Precious metals is worth something only if there exists a persons who wish to own and stockpile them. Of course, presious metals have their own value too, but it is a very specific thing - either it is a luxury, that will be barely needed in times of crisis, or electronics plating that is too thin to be something noticeable on the gold market.
In case of real crisis, it would be really hard to use your precious metal savings. Just imagine a real situation - you have gold and need potatoes, farmer have potatoes and need spare parts for tractor, mechanic have spare parts for tractor but need replacement carbide cutters inserts for his lathe and so on. And there are no anybody who really need gold. Why do you think that you will get your potatoes in exchange of gold, and if you do, how you will convince farmer to accept your gold?
Gold is weird thing - most people can't use it, and it only needed by elite. If elite is exterminated, then who will need that gold and why do you think it will worth anything?
To be more clear, replace gold with another precious metal, say, osmium. Elites don't collect osmium, so, suddenly, there is no any money properties in osmium. You will never exchange it for something. And it is not different from gold in terms of chemical nobelity. Gold have current value only because there exists those who want to collect and own stockpiles of gold. In situation when nobody will want it, gold value will be as value of low quality soft and weak stainless steel, not higher.
The problem of the West (Western elites, to be correct) is not in weapons, aggression, games, whatever. The Western elites problem is that they absolutely can't understand anything that is not follow their idea of society structure, layout and way of doing.
They absolutely can't understand Russia, they don't understand China, they can't understand any other country that is different to the West.
Yes, they are very dumb, and become angry and violent when they meet something they don't understand. And always try to destroy that. But since they don't understand what they want to destroy, they eventually get their asses kicked again and again.
IDK what to do with completely dumb, but highly aggressive idiot that trying to destroy everything he don't understand. I don't see any options except total extermination or total isolation from the world.
In any case, this shit would not be stopped until Western elites will be neutralised by whatever method. It is essential condition for the humanity survival and development, may be not sufficient, but absolutely essential.
Of course, other elites are definitely not a nice guys, but at least they are not behave like dumb idiot, and are able if not understand, but at least not become shit crazy if something in other country is different from their moral, political or social conceptions.
Yandex is Google of Netherland. Suddenly.
And blur TelAviv and other Israel towns satellite images just like Google.
We seem to disagree about certain things but it is nice to have an actual intelligent discussion here.
I like it too.
As for the Laser, I still conjecture that it was not "out of the blue" but was an evenly ruin of known principles that was made at precisely the time that the knowledge and technology required became available...
You almost here. Laser is a consequence of fusion of different things that are available at the time - knowledge, technologies and curiosity.
was also theorizing the basic concept of lasers in the early 20th century
The basic concept you mean was not about lasers at all. Einstein can't even imagine that thing. The same concept is behind luminiscence and other stuff.
Also, the properties of laser beam was not predicted theoretically, they was figured out only after discovery.
But to make one, the advances in electronics were also required
Electronics is not a requirement for lasers. Some lasers even don't use electricity at all.
but there was a clear build up to the technology and nothing anomalous about the progression.
Exactly. The trinity of knowledge, technologies and curiosity worked out pretty well. And guess what? Thigs that born from that trinity added to that trinity. So, number of combinations of obtained knowledge and available tech to explore become larger, and different "laser-like" inventions and discoveries should appear with growing rate, may be even exponentially.
But they are not.
why do you choose the 1970's when all the breakthroughs you cite occurred before the 1970's?
Did you read my post I linked to about 1970? If not, shortly - I think, that around 1970 those who ruled that world make a decision to shut down scientific progress among many other things they changed significantly. If you like, it could be some "agreement with reptiloids to screw humans in exchange for unlimited power over people" or whatever theory you like.
Are you mixing up scientific advances with economic and social policy change?
Because science and technology makes people free. Today, to create everything you need for decent life, you need less than a dozen man-hours a week. When you have free time, you get an ability to self-develop, think about what's going around and all that stuff. And you will inevitablyl come to conclusion that you don't need elites. So, to prevent that, elites not only defeloped a system for extracting that free time from people, but also prevent further scientific advaces that could suddenly make elites ways of opression not just ineffective, but completely senseless.
Something like that.
Didn't see, but I think it is possible. The idea of virtual president and other politicians of Russian Federation was even a part of plot in popular "Generation П" novel by V.Pelevin long ago. A couple years ago even a movie by that novel was filmed with same thing in plot. So, it is not something new at all.
However, the theory that there are clones or actors that plays the role of Putin is much more popular among Russian conspiracy theorists.
As for me, in the past I was into that theories, but now I think that it absolutely does not matter, if Putin real, CGI, clones or actors, because it does not matter who you see on TV, only whose orders are carried out and with what results.
Isn't this that Diia app where you already could snitch on neighbour that is not enough enthusiastic about Ukrainian government?
Expect 'pro Russian rebels' to suddenly rise up all over Europe,
It will be interesting to look at it, but it is unlikely. To effectively interfere with internal politics you need instigator with perfect local language, good knowledge of local nuances, huge organizing abilities and stable financing. Hardly those that fleed from Russia have that properties.
Probability that Europeans will flee to Russia is much higher. :) After banning Shengen visas for Russians in Europe, Russian authorities recently simplified visas for Europeans.
Crimean Peninsula style.
Crimea always had overhelming Russian etnicity. There was no need for any Russian intervention, especially when dumb US puppets in Ukrainian government prohibited Russian language and education. After that complete stupidity Crimea loss was inevitable.
Also, don't underestimate political games.
EU demanded an electricity from France, since France is 70% nuclear and barely depends on EU sanctioned Russian fuel.
France have no any desire to share electricity with EU, since it will be necessary to resolve upcoming heating problems.
So, France unroll a fake narrative in MSM that NPPs are in bad state, need mintenance, there are no profit and so on as a reason for denial of EU demands.
It could be as simple as that.
As I understand, there is no common country-wide electric system, it is more state-wide separate nets. Also, powerhungry industries that could stabilise energy consumption is closed or relocated abroad.
IDK, but in Russia nuclear power plants are more than profitable, even with our relatively low electricity prices. Pure total profit of Rosatom from its NPPs electricity is around $10B a year. There even new reactors and power plants rising here, and there are plans to reach 25% of nuclear power in all electricity to 2035. On average, NPP full investments return period is 25 years with investor profit at 10% per year on top (I mean investor will receive 10% of profit a year in addition to investments return during that time). On average, 1kW of nuclear power electricity in Russia cost ~$3K. Yes, it is not a cheapest energy source possible, but perfectly affordable, accounting power stability and no need for permanent fuel supply lines as for combustion power plants or specific landscape as for hydropower. You will pay around same $3k per 1kW if you want a reliable diesel or natural gas backup generator that could run for a week non-stop. Even shitty home grade Generac backup generators cost ~$1k per 1kW and they can't run for weeks. I will instantly pay $3k/kW for personal backup generator that will have reliability and stability of NPP, and need for refueling once in 5 years of runtime.
May be there is something wrong with France and its politics of maintaining and supervising NPPs, and not with nuclear power plants profitability?
even if he did oppose them he would have a hard time doing it overtly.
There are no any technical problems, f.e. to kidnap Klaus Schwab and other well-known NWO cheerleaders, put them in some old-style KGB prison and torture until they tell everything about their real masters and their real goals. That confessions alone will change a lot.
Only thing needed is a political will of Russian authorities.
Or he could be acting the part of Eurasian against Oceana.
Only if Eurasia have exactly same real goal as Oceania.
Either way, it doesn't seem to be in his interest to be anything other than an oligarch.
Exactly. It is a big mistake to suppose that he is sovereign ruler of sovereign country who really do everything to make his country and people thrive. It is just like think that US administration somehow concerned about prosperity of US as a country and all Americans.
Obviously one of them. In his "fucking over NWO" you will not find a single real action against any of NWO institutions - UN, WHO, WEF, IMF and so on.
If you want, you could see it like different colors of same NWO to create illusion of choice. In the best case you will be able to choose between
- Western NWO: mandatory praising perversions, satanism, and all other liberal shit, you can criticize public politicians, but can't criticize system.
- Russian NWO : mandatory praising state, your children don't have freak shows and gay lessons at school, you can't criticize politicians but can criticize system.
- China NWO: mandatory priasing collective and uniformity, children don't have freak shows and gay lessons, criticism of both politicians and system is not allowed.
Something like that. All other shit with censorship, propaganda, milking population, property rights denial are the same.
IDK, theoretically, Putin could turn against NWO and even do heavy and irrepairable harm to it, just in second, at least he have access to all necessary resources and power to do that, but I'm in doubt it will happen soon.
Overall, looking at what is unwinding on the West, I think in long run Russian or Chinese NWO is "preferrable", since, at least children will get a chance.
From the point of maximum personal independence from state and not giving a fuck to NWO narratives, Russian NWO is "preferrable". If you are not publicly criticising authorities, many "sins" could be forgiven, so you could have relative personal freedom.
From the point of active resistance Western NWO looks "preferrable", but that will not last long, since most children will be completely lost.
Something like that.
The propagation and amplification of waves in a medium was well known with water and sound a hundred or two years before the laser was theorized
Resonators was known long before too. But nobody before tried to combine that two things and get something completely new. That is the point.
The technology and tools to use this same theory on light simply had not been developed yet.
Nitrogen laser using air (search it, it is simple as fuck device) could have been be made right at the moment when scientists start to experiment with electricity. There is nothing special in technologies of making lasers. Ruby laser could have been made even without electricity at all, just ruby crystal with parallel sides excited with any bright flash.
Out of curiosity, why do you choose the 1970's?
Very short answer - https://conspiracies.win/p/11RNy8tZCy/conspiracy-of-conspiracies/ And it is not only me who noticed that something huge happened around 1970.
interesting how they use bitcoin symbolic to promote their crap. :)
Though, their target audience barely could understand what "cryptocurrency" is, not even talking about differences between BTC and CBDC. So, whatever...
Btw, when we're fiber optic multiplexers invented?
Using of diffractional gratings to mux and demux lights of different colors fall even to 19 century. Fiber optic also used long before networking times, from multifiber flexible image transmitting "cables" to single-fiber applications.
Cellular transmitters?
Transievers of cellular equipment are no different from other transievers. 1G NMT/AMPS and 2G GSM transievers have no specific at all. 2G CDMA / 3G / 4G / 5G transievers was slightly different, due to wide band and channel division technology, but they are no very different from DSSS transievers from late 1940s (yes, it could be hard to accept that digital DSSS is so old, but it is).
every technology is just a refinement or adaptation of previous technology, it is a ladder not a springboard.
No. Back to the laser. There was no any previous device that was somehow similar to the laser at all. There existed separate knowledge of different things that works in laser, but nobody even predicted the properties of laser beams. Same with nuclear reactors, all semiconductor devices, and many other pre-70s inventions and discoveries.
Ladder is what we have now. Only technological improvements, no any new effects, no new principles, nothing. Internal combustion engine in your car use same theory, principles and effects as century ago. All semiconductors "miracle" around is nothing more than miniaturization of pre-70s semiconductor devices. Even in nanometer scale manufacturing process of all that GHz 64bit processors that magnitude orders more powerful than all pre-70s computers nothing new is used.
IDK, if you get the point, but I'm talking about things never existed before. Again with laser - nobody nowhere saw anything like laser beam. And after few scientists mixed some theories, here it is. Same with all other stuff I'm talking about. You will not find anything post-70s that never existed before and come to existence after some scientific work.
I even have an explanation of how that was done - imagine, that some scientists today want to explore some mix of science things that never was explored before. They don't know what they will get eventually (like that laser beam with unusual and unpredicted properties), they even don't know will it work at all. They only suppose that they could find something new and interesting. How do you think, what are their chances to get a grant?
Steam eninges existed since at least Archimedes' time, he made designs for them, yet not until the 18th century did they cause a "breakthrough"
The breakthrough was in using cylinder-piston system to convert steam energy to the movement. Unlike previous designs cylinder-piston system was useable. IIRC it was Huygens at the end of 17 century, who proposed first cylinder-piston design. It was question of only decade when first steam engine that used cylinder-piston design was made and was really useful, unlike that ancient toys.
Interesting that Russia don't have to use nukes to wipe out Queen's funeral. Taking apart the point of such action, I don't think that masters of all that puppets who was at event was there in person. There is no sense in killing puppets because masters will just put another, and there is a large queue of wannabe NWO puppets at the Davos threshold.
The keyword is "nuke", not anything else. Propagandists of both "sides" are obsessed with nukes in approx past month and like to repeat that word again and again. Looks like attempt to shift public opinion to the normalisation of tactic nuke use. You know, they fucked up with virus, fucked up with vaccines, seem to fucking up with starvation, so they looking for other options to fuck up.
So, you realize that precisely describes a telegraph, right!?
Any signal transmitting some data. In the times of telegraph there was no modern concepts of "data" and "digital". Also, information transmitted over telegraph in no way interfere with transmission itself. The concept of data networks managed by transmitted data was created only in 50s.
To me, your definition would suggest that lasers are little more than focused light
No. The main property of laser beam is coherence that gives it all other important properties, including incredibly low divergence you absolutely could not achieve focusing light.
I was thinking additive manufacturing
Additive manufacturing is known from ancient times. Humans build houses with additive manufacturing since the beginning. 3D printer really just automates that process, that is why I mentioned far-stretching. Of course it is not a real breakthrough or discovery, but at least it is some noticeable advance in a technologies of making things. Especially interesting that today 3D printer was perfectly possible with only pre-70s technologies of CNC. But for some unknown reason it was brought to life only in 90s.
Exactly. F.e. beforementioned laser does not exist even in the form of concept or idea before 1954. In mid-60s we already had mass-manufacturing of things that use lasers for one ot another purpose. And that change nearly everything. That is how important inventions or discoveries work. Something that was completely unknown yesterday, change everything around soon after discovery.
You will not find something similar after 70s, despite all technological advances that should make doing such discoveries/inventions much easier. But there is absolutely nothing since 70s. No any device, principle, whatever, that could be named real game changer. No new engines, power sources, tools based on new principles, etc.
Even if you will try hard and allow very far-stretched assumptions, the only thing of similar importance you could find is an idea of 3D-printer. Importance is in that it allowed to create physical parts that was impossible to create using other methods of manufacturing.
The internet is just an evolution of the telegraph
No, internet is evolution of digital data transmission that was invented and developed in 50s-60s.
Quantum Computing?
The proposal is from 60s. Started from "quantum coding" of 1968. All we have now is just techological improvements without any useful results.
F.e. from idea of laser to the mass manufacturing and usage less than a decade passed.
Nano-scale material manufacturing (looking at you graphene).
Humanity using nano-scale materials from the ancient times. Concrete is nano-scale material made with use of cement nano-particles. Artists using pencils create pictures from graphene nano-particles for millenia. And so on. Just there was no need to use that stupid marketing bullshit.
They sure have not stopped but it is nothing like the speed of advances from before.
So name me one that did not yet exist in one or another form before 70s.
Looks like components of regular dust you easily could find everywhere around you.
Why nobody just suppose that manufacturers of not-a-vaccine shit have no any reason to care about quality and purity of the product since they have guaranteed forced purchases with absolutely no liability on? They could just use a water from regular nearby puddle without any consequences at all. As far as I understand the only goal set by those who ordered manufacturing of not-a-vaccines is a delivery of spike protein to subjects. No objective of sterility or purity was set. So no wonder there are a lot of random shit in them.
I am confused, what do you mean no breakthroughs or inventions since the 70's?
Name me a single invention or discovery made after 70s that is similar in significance to, say, laser, semiconductors, nuclear reactors, etc.
In what field, exactly?
In all of them.
Because there have been countless breakthroughs and inventions since then in pretty much every field.
Name me single one that is not just technological improvement of things invented/discoveried before 70s.
In most cases, certainly yes. In rare cases using fiat of another country with deflation could be even profitable.
2% is very optimistic. Infaltion is often hidden in food, goods and other stuff. F.e. you could by a sausage for $1 10 years ago. Today same sausage cost $1.2 and you think that inflation is 2%. But in new sausage you have only 50% of meat that was in sausage 10 years ago, other is soy beans or whatever. So, real infaltion is much higher - at least 7%.
