That Arizona drivers license in Apple Wallet is scary. Like CBDC, what's to say AZ asks Apple to 'block' your drivers license if you do something like criticize the wrong people. This is just more digital tyranny.

Yes, that is what it is!

Jesus Matt, don't you know CDBC is just Conspiracy Theory

I am going to assume you are being sarcastic...but WEF acolyte Trudeau just proved that conspiracy theory when he shutdown bank accounts across Canada. It's a fact now! :-)

It's OK Matt, you assumed correctly 😁. Little Castro sure is a peice of shit isn't he. Don't worry, there is a very special place in hell for shits like that.

But what's funny is that the existing pipelines of gas are still running... They were excluded from the sanctions. The big story they pushed was that nord stream 2 is shut down. But it was never put into service. So, in effect, nothing changed supply wise.

So is this just to build fear? 25C is 77F, which is not anything extreme at all. Heck, I run my ac only on super hot days at around 80f and it's fine.

And if you have been to Europe before the 90s, air conditioning was very rare, even in hot Spain! I asked why. The biggest reason: energy cost. After the 2000s, ac was more widespread.

True. I visited Hungary in 1998 with no AC and it was the hottest summer in 50 years. Just had to take a cold shower before bedtime to drop my core body temp.

I get the heating/ gas connection by the caption of the photo says "air conditioning". Does Italy get electricity from Ukraine's nuclear plants? I find that hard to believe. Looks like typical European leaders making the most of the crisis to hoodwink the people - again. The European elites were entirely gleeful at the way the US handled the COVID crisis. They were like, "phew" thank God America isn't being all 'free' and 'brave' again!

"Italy puts 25C limit on air conditioning as Ukraine crisis forces energy rationing" https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/20/operation-thermostat-italy-limits-air-conditioning-amid-energy-crisis-fears

My suspicion: This is all part of the "Earth is in Crisis!!!!!!!!!!! IS it? And if it is, is it maybe due instead to Glyphosate and other toxic synthetic pesticides everywhere, and the fouling of the water supplies, and oh, hmmmm, maybe a little 5G thrown in, along with the 4G and 3G, and... And, and, and, but, but, but, it's because of ENERGY USAGE!!!!!" (Not war, of course, or fake pandemics, or just plain BS.) I think it maybe should be TESLA coming back on a cloud, to educate us about that FREE ENERGY he could just suck right out of the air with his little machine... Jesus can come too, if he wants to.

77 ‘ when it’s day in day out hot.

Especially in Rome.

I live in Italy and I'm really worried about the direction this country is taking . It's not called Draghistan for nothing !

Expand full comment

Indeed. Italy (it was under the technocrat Comte I believe?) started the lockdown in Europe and are now about to launch a new phase of the program with Draghi. It's very scary. I live in France, I guess we are next.

LOL good motto and thank you always! That typo though was something I realized all on my own, like a second after I hit "send" :)

so running the ac makes you a warmonger. of course, keeping a cool head makes everybody bellicose. silly me for not thinking of that

i think you should call your next band operation thermostat

Expand full comment

Ha. I will stick with "Tessa Makes Love"!! But yes, they always create arbitrary associations (like the one you mentioned, running AC = bad citizen who supports a bad war). They are shameless!

cool then i will take that bandname!

Soon Italy will ration sex......

It has already been tried in the UK in 2020!!

In NSW Australia in early 2021 our dept of health advised MASTURBATION instead... I kid you not.

This is the first I’ve heard of sex rationing in a western country. What did they do exactly?

It won't make a difference, they have 0 or 1 baby anyway per couple.

Energy rationing. Energy rationing is the wave of the future. Our whole technological society runs on oil, and before the end of the century all the usable oil will have been extracted. That means the population will fall to somewhere between 0% and 10% of its current levels. That's why the Power Elite is so keen on managing the die-off. They want to be among the cohort that survives.

Something we are not being told may fill in the gaps-- In response to western powers imposing sanctions on Russia (essentially attacking directly the ruble by confiscating all Russian assets held in USD), Putin tied the ruble to gold bullion and is now refusing to accept payment in dollars (calling them "worthless as the messages in Chinese fortune cookies"), for its' natural gas exports to EU. European countries desiring to purchase Russian natural gas must now pay for it in rubles or gold bullion.

This imperils the USD as the reigning global reserve currency. Huge amounts of EU-owned USD being forced to convert into rubles will flood world markets with unwanted dollars. I am no economist, but this is likely to trigger either a slow or fast collapse of dollar purchasing power both domestic and worldwide. One way to slow down this collapse would be to slow down the purchase of Russian natural gas by EU member countries.

This is bad, folks. Many countries of the world have grown sick of USD hegemony pushing them around for several decades now. They are likely to jump at any chance to take a swing at the wobbling prize-fighter-bully "USD" and help level out the playing field. Soon there may be no more "1st world countries" as we've come to know them.

Extra hot summers kill off more elderly…

Why is Italy the test site for all this crap?

Many and different little acts of compliance are demanded. It's the compliance training that's important. We will all have to lock-step to respond to crisis again soon. Look at Shanghai. They are in serious civil-defense-training mode. The threat comes from anywhere, be constantly anxious.

25 degrees Centigrade is 77 degrees Fahrenheit. That isn't even close to air conditioning temperature, that is a miserable night's sleep.

The US's NATO puppet states in the EU are committing economic suicide at the behest of neocon warmongers in Washington like Vicky Nuland and Jake Sullivan, ideologues who hate Russia and are trying to destroy it with an unnecessary and prolonged war in Ukraine. I will never understand why Europe dances to the music of immoral bastards like these two in the American war party.
