Had to buy Red rising now that I read your comment, never heard about it. I recently read Hyperion as well and what made me suffer through the book was all the long ass descriptions of everything. The world is amazing and the story, but I’ll wait a while before I read the others.
Children of Time is amazing! I’ve read Children of Ruin, the second book which is equally as great and just started on the third one. If you haven’t read it, then check out Three Body Problem. I found it better than Hyperion, although very dystopian and kinda sad. Good read though. Thanks for the recommendation.
As the new world order tightens it’s grip, with social credit scores, 15 minute cities, carbon taxes and possible climate lockdowns, how do you stay positive?...
I’m going to be camping for 4 days at a location without easy access to fire (hence no boiled water). As such, I’m going to be packing a bunch of canned stuff for my daily meals. The place is in England, where we’re expecting a few hot days this week and maybe some rain over the weekend....
I highly recommend getting a gas burner, if you are comfortable with it. It’s great for cooking while camping. We’ve recently made tacos and risotto while camping. Also, depending on the brand/model, it works in most weather and you’re not reliant on gathering wood for a fire.
Running it on a Synology, and streaming through a Chromecast. It works great, some encoding issues sometimes and issues with subtitles, but other than that it’s fine.
Oswald was obviously a patsy, and there is also some evidence that he might have been a spy when he was in the Soviet Union. I can’t remember which documentary it was but they went through how when Oswald was back in the US, where he was working/doing socialist stuff there was and FBI building right over the street.
Some people believe that he was a placed agent in socialist organizations to gather information. Him being a “socialist” was perfect for being framed.
If I remember correctly Kennedy denied Operation Northwoods, so I guess they were pissed at him. I’m still not sure if it was the driver who shot him or someone from the grassy knoll.
I haven’t tried it, but I might give it a go sometime. I’m happy with SimpleX Chat for now. Only issue is of course to get others using it, which is basically impossible. A lot of people have adopted Signal which is great, but I don’t like that it is centralized.

James Corbett talks about the Rothschilds and their connection with the federal reserve. Interesting thoughts about the fed, it’s creation and how it works today....
Corbett comments in the video that the story that JFK wanted to make his own currency is a myth (his opinion), but I don’t know. The fact is that it doesn’t really matter, what matters is how we change or react to what the Fed is now. This isn’t just for the US, but also central banks everywhere.
I recently heard a podcast episode on Geopolitics & Empire, great podcast btw, and they were talking about how the central banks themselves are getting so bold as to actually de-bank people, essentially excluding them from society. So, if you have the wrong opinion, like Nigel Farage, then you don’t get to have a bank account and can’t transact in our society.
There are people cheering the de-banking of Farage and the Canadian truckers saying: “they deserve it, they are fascists.” Well, one day their own opinion, or their lack of keeping up with their social credit score / carbon tax, will be their reason for being de-banked.
The point is that we need to think solutions to these local and global problems. I agree, we need a reset, but on our own terms. The globalists want to centralize everything, the answer could then be more local decentralization. I think they won’t succeed, hyper centralized structures don’t work in real life, a one world currency won’t work as there is no one size fits all. How would one type of economy that works in the EU or US, work in the poorest regions of Africa? I doesn’t make sense.

It’s expensive to start a business. You’d need some seed money to start the thing for rent, products, salary and more. If a bunch of people go together, pool their money, sure they might get it to work, but they also share all the risk of failure. Also, who decides if there is conflict? Who has the final say? Not everything can be solved by compromise.
