That is true, still they bought tonnes of actual gold. Western nations have been selling gold like there was no tomorrow while banks were selling and buying paper gold as if it were cakes keeping the prices low.
At some point someone is going to demand their gold and there won't be any gold I think this is already the case as you have to wait months to get your order of the metal.

It's not perfect but the cons are extremely exaggerated. And the amount of nuclear waste generated by industry and healthcare are severely under estimated.
So not using nuclear power while having to deal with tonnes of nuclear waste anyway is dumb.
Depends on what you want to do with it, if you want to use it for some sort of power generation yeah LNG and hydrogen is a losing proposition.
if it's for production of plastics and other chemicals, getting it in liquid form might not be so bad.
You are right in that we should just get our own gas, the Netherlands should just reimburse the people who get their homes damaged from the fracking and just go full bore for a couple of years while we transition away from gas for heat and other energy. They still have the infrastructure in place but are in the middle of shutting it down for political reasons.
Having said that, I'd just open nordstream 2 buy cheap Russian gas but scrap gas as an intermediary for the energy transition and hasten it's phase out to a decade instead of 2050 in favor of nuclear
No blood clotting was one of the first weird symptoms seen in hospitalizations of coof patients. I remember reading about it. Blood transfusions not running trough because they simply clogged up And my neighbor a doctor a lung specialist telling me about a young athlete losing a leg back in May of 2020 because of blood cloths in the hospital she works at.

So Blood clotting was a problem from the beginning. It was rare in women though.
And if covid was the thing they tried this with they managed to depopulate europe where you were basically forced and half the US while the rest of the world keeps breeding like rabbits as they didn't have the money to get the vaccines.
Squeeze your enemy and your allies dry and make all the money rebuilding after they destroyed them selves.
Worked wonders in 39-45
