In the dark age hovel, I work hard to reduce plastic exposure. I've discussed the "free" municipal wood chips I get for the garden. I got about 100 gallons this week and hand sifted it. This is the plastic (and a bit of other trash) I removed:

There is more plastic contamination in the environment every year, and more plastic being measured over time in human brains, testicles, placentas and other organs. This municipality is better than most as far as keeping the plastic out, but they aren't good enough.

Here's a potential explanation for the above contained quote. It can't be ruled out and the issue is still a mystery.[/quote]

To me, it's not that mysterious, except we don't know what percentage of the problem comes from where. Drug residues might be responsible for 2 percent of testosterone decline or 98 percent, we don't know. I'm exaggerating because it almost certainly has to be much more than 2 and much less than 98. But it's not insignificant. He says drug residues can't be filtered out. Any organic chemical can be removed to below detection limits with the right kind of filter. It was initially thought that there weren't filters that could remove PFAS but it's been shown that there are. The cheap filters can remove some but not enough to be effective. If they are drinking bottled spring water as they say, they should be drinking it out of glass bottles. The micro and nano plastics in plastic bottles might be as bad as the drug residues. There really is no escape, just reduction.

FullMoon and tim, you are both right in saying that we have been and are at war with China, and it's been going on for a long time. A couple related thoughts that come to mind. We're used to discussing the four horsemen as if they are separate things - war, pestilence, famine, death. What's different now is that governments have the ability to inflict pestilence and famine through deliberate actions rather than nature being the means of unleashing it. So to discuss pestilence and famine or even weather changes as if they are always acts of nature and never acts of war isn't correct. Some people seem to be stuck in the mindset that, for example, the Wuhan virus originated from a bat when it's pretty obvious that it originated from a lab. Also, that China (or any nation state) could inflict a thousand cuts through asymmetric war and, after doing that, try to knock us out through direct war, either conventional or nuclear. Even people who recognized the thousand cuts strategy fully expected direct war. But as decline accelerates and things become more unstable, that might not be necessary, or even possible.

For sure they're doing as much as they can. But probably so is Russia and everyone else including guess who, yes it's us. They don't have so much money and personnel to do nothing. Undermining the enemy is perhaps very much in their line of work. Both adversaries like to paint themselves as the aggrieved within their own countries. And paint the opposing side as the aggressor. We consider their aggression as disproportionate to our own. And it is but they have much greater stressors towards their existential survival. Ours are more superficial.

For anyone who hasn't seen some of Charlie's worthwhile exchanges on his tour.
He was a remarkable person and his works and reasons for death are worth considering. For he seemed to want to live as Christ taught. And because of doing so apparently had a change of heart about his affiliations. He had spoken about his fears of getting killed. I won't mention the name but the guilty are apparently known.

We're used to mostly seeing nation state versus nation state war. The main issue with it is that it's really hard to organize and sustain when the world is on the downslope. They're slugging it out in the Ukraine and every mile is painful. I don't keep up with it very much. Granted, they can let the nukes fly and just see where the dust settles. But I get the feeling that Civil War would be easy at this point. Maybe China really will do something soon. But after doing nothing last year it feels to me like their opportunity slipping away.

I have come to view world events through the lens of China conducting asymmetrical warfare on its enemies. Everything from the mRNA shots, to the social media movements dividing this country, to the fentanyl drug crisis when viewed as weapons of war makes sense to me.

The statistics of all of these are leading to a decrease in China's future enemies. Push global warming theory on your enemies and get your enemies to deindustrialize and thats less future enemy infrastructure that will have to be destroyed in a kinetic war. Push far left ideological ideas on your enemies youth to confuse them, get them unable to understand gender in a time when they are vulnerable and you decrease your future enemy population. For every less child born because of far left ideology whether that be feminism, transgenderism, etc. is one less future enemy soldier that China will have to fight one day. If in the process China was able to instigate a civil war in its enemies homeland, so much the better.

The fentanyl drug crisis is really just China doing to the U.S. what the Western world did to China during the Opium Wars.

[quote]Unrestricted Warfare: Two Air Force Senior Colonels on Scenarios for War and the Operational Art in an Era of Globalization[1] (simplified Chinese: 超限战; traditional Chinese: 超限戰; lit. 'warfare beyond bounds') is a book on military strategy written in 1999 by two colonels in the People's Liberation Army (PLA), Qiao Liang (乔良) and Wang Xiangsui (王湘穗).[2] Its primary concern is how a nation such as China can defeat a technologically superior opponent (such as the United States) through a variety of means.[3] Rather than focusing on direct military confrontation, this book instead examines a variety of other means, such as political warfare.[4][5][6][7] Such means include using legal tools (see lawfare) and economic means as leverage over one's opponent and circumventing the need for direct military action.[8][9][10][11][/quote]

China is in full war mode but they don't want to use military means because it's too risky. Having us destroy ourselves is much easier. we also know that there's organized groups trying to do NWO stuff and whatnot. But collapse should be swift and remarkably damaging so that everyone ends up with less. Those preparing at whatever level just want to have that they need. We peasants hope for food and water but those pesky domineering types probably want to keep their fortunes somehow.

[quote]Taken together, these reactions appear to be enough to touch off revenge killings or outright revolution.[/quote]

It's definitely a tinder box. And has been for a while. The whole world is on edge and violence is increasing rapidly. We know that and prepare accordingly. But it's not fun or easy to see it falling apart in real time as you as everyone here haa discussed since it seemed a somewhat distant event which is now very close.
