This is a chart of Earth's magnetic field strength over the last 18,000 years.
I assume folks here know how to read a chart...
https://blossom.primal.net/15e3e91f5f4999daeb2b8412d27937a7436c9a548ffcf483d79876b580e4dd6b.png
Earth's magnetic field strength may not be as weak as it was during the Younger Dryas catastrophe, but the rate of collapse is greater.
This tells us 2 things. The first being that Graham Hancock is full of shit. The root cause of the Younger Dryas event was no extraterrestrial impact, although it may very well have a role to play.
Something much bigger is at play.

You have to place your body into a condition where there is zero insulin in your system.
You need to turn off the action of PKA (Protein kinase A). This is what keeps stem cell activation from happening, and so you need to get those levels down as close to zero as possible.
Once activated, they will continue replicating new stem cells for months if you take care with your lifestyle choices.

What, you think people can't naturally activate their adult stem cells? Do you think such a mechanism doesn't exist because you have never heard of it?
Ask yourself... If they cannot be activated naturally, then why the heck would they be there in the first place? The human body does not carry around freeloaders because of social justice.

- reply

There are ways you can activate your own adult stem cells, have your body eliminate underperforming (senescent) and malfunctioning (precancerous) cells, and even reconstruct telomere sequences in your DNA (linked to aging).
But because these mechanisms are built into your body, and activating them costs nothing, the medical system will never promote it.
This rabbit hole is much, much deeper than most people who are already down the rabbit hole even realize.

Did the new global currency system sneak up on you like a tidal wave?
Until now, assets held on blockchain protocols were confined to those platforms. These isolated liquidity pools could only be traversed using clunky exchanges.
A new layer is rolling out next month (June 2026) which will allow instantaneous and unlimited flow between protocols via Digital Liquidity Tokens.
DTCC will be tokenizing all assets on earth. Every commodity (e.g. Agrotokens), every living thing, every natural resource, every machine, computer, and person. All tracked and traced in real time, controlled and managed via smart contracts.
$300 Billion in assets will be managed in the soft launch. The official go live is October 2026, and the expect to be managing $30 Trillion in 3 years time. $75 trillion in tokenized equities is also earmarked for onboarding which makes the $30 trillion target very conservative.
Now you know why Tether is buying and holding more Gold than China.
ETH, XRP and XLM appear to be the first candidates for onboarding.
The ultimate goal is to have over $450 Quadrillion in tokenized assets under real-time management with near real-time transactional settlement.

2026-05-23 12:40:34 UTC

Tokenization of everything is well underway.

I was 24 when I decided to go to university and start a new line of work. I chose computer science because my friend was doing it and it looked interesting.
Up until my first semester I had never even owned a computer, and I failed my way through high school math.
I graduated and got my first software job when I was the same age as you. I moved quickly through the ranks not just because of my aptitude, but being older, I carried an air of legitimacy and life experience that had more technically experienced coworkers look to me for leadership.
I really started making money when I started my own consulting firm. Nobody asks a 30 year old consultant how many years experience they have. I would walk in, listen to the technical team, listen to the management team, and most of the time I would reiterate what the technical team told me, but with an authority and confidence they did not posess.
And I would recommend this course for you if you have good critical thinking / common sense skills.
My father went back to school at 50 to retrain as an architect. When he graduated, he immediately started his own firm. Nobody ever challenged his credentials or experience. And he had more work than he could ever handle.
And this is your market advantage being 30. Use it well.

It is a Canaanite alter for human sacrifice located in Beersheba (modern Israel).
This isn't common knowledge, but ancient alters of the same design have been found in North America.
One of these is located on Jekyll Island, off the coast of Georgia.
Jekyll Island is the location where the Federal Reserve entity was created by the financial wizards in 1910. That would be the number 11 in Gematria (Jewish mystical numerology).
In this Kabbalistic system, 10 is perfection and represents God. 11 is the crown of impurity. Of man's will over God's will.
You can go there and visit the house where the Federal Reserve was created. It's a tourist attraction.
What they don't tell you is that house was built over the top of the Canaanite alter, and it is still in the basement to this very day.
Regardless of whether or not it's all mumbo jumbo, these very powerful people are extremely religious. They absolutely believe this stuff, and that is why things always happen on specific dates and times. Why streets, buildings, and even data centers have specific and non-random locations, alignments, and symbolism.

This is where things get esoteric. The system we have is a manifested reality that is entirely held together by human perception.
This is in essence, spell craft. Curiously, the folks who created and perpetuate this illusion are often termed "financial wizards", which is indeed what they really are.
Not only have they manifested their will into reality by imposing it upon unwitting participants (since reality is co-created), but the physical tokens used to cement this reality incorporate actual sigil magick (the use of symbols and icons).
These wizards have a spiritual belief system and are deeply adept practitioners in this technology which most people think humanity abandoned during the rationalist movement.

Because the US does not own its own currency. The Federal Reserve does. It is a private banking cartel, and no more federal than federal express.
They create it out of nothing but a computer key stroke, and lend it to the US government at interest.
Woodrow Wilson, the president who allowed this to happen, figured out the scam only after the damage had been done. and he deeply regreted it for the rest of his days.

If we look at historic cycles and assume the records about them are accurate, we see a pattern of behavior emerge which can be modelled and predicted.
Human nature never changes. It locks in the cycle.
If we look around, it's abundantly clear that we are certainly not in the expansion phase of the cycle. That was last century. So we know we are somewhere after that.
Civilizations peak and sustain for a while after expansion stops. It's not a sine wave type of function. It's more of a phase transition function.
For example, civilizations don't grow, sustain for a brief period, and then steadily decline. They expand rapidly, sustain, and then suddenly collapse. It may take 200 years to expand, but the collapse only takes a decade. The Roman empire is an excellent example, and Martin Armstrong has written tomes on historical examples of the civilization cycle.
The point is, we know it's a cycle, it's not linear, and it's not symmetrical. We cannot halt or reverse the cycle because that would require a fundamental change in human nature. the best we can do is influence the trend, and in this case, engineer a controlled collapse.
It appears this is what the controlling class is attempting to do. The whole Great Economic Reset thing from the WEF is clearly an attempt to navigate the collapse phase so that they retain continuity of power into the next cycle. They are clear it's not a restart, or a reboot, or a reorder. Words are very important. It's a reset, meaning the old is gone forever and is replaced with something entirely new. The language they use in relation to their reset reinforces this. And their goal is 2030.
That is just one globalist plan of many which are addressing a major shift in how humanity exists and functions, and the others have a similar target timeframe.
Now let's perform a differential analysis by observing what is Not happening.
If the West was in expansion phase, or was about to experience a major step up in growth, then investment would be going into preparing the infrastructure to accommodate this growth. but the opposite is happening.
Bridges, highways, rail systems, buildings... all are falling into such poor disrepair that many are no longer salvageable. Lots of talk about huge expansions in green energy, datacenters etc, but zero action or even talk about obtaining the huge amount of resources like Copper which are essential for the infrastructure.
This apparently short sighted and foolish lack of planning and build out makes sense when the folks running the show know that it won't be needed.
Did you know that during the covid lockdowns, over 2 million shipping containers vanished globally? While all the stores were shut, rail was hailing like crazy. Where and what were they hauling? Nobody can say.
A plausible theory I have heard is that all those shipping containers went underground while the world was watching Netflix.

Western civilization (an aggregate of societies that are centrally controlled) has passed the point of fixing as most people consider fixing.
Civilizations have a natural cycle, and part of that cycle is decline, collapse, and renewal.
We are in the early phase of collapse. 5 years from now it will be obvious to everyone.
The best ordinary folks can do is put as much distance between themselves and the system as they can. Be as non-reliant as possible. Build a local community / tribe.

I thought that headache thing was a combination of grape varietal, and the application of oak.
The alcohol extracts chemicals found in grape skins, stems, and the oak barrels (tannins, histamines, and quercetin).
Quercetin interferes with the body's breakdown of alcohol, and can result in acetaldehyde build up.
So, a full bodied, high alcohol cab sauv that has had had extended fermentation on the skins, and then had extended aging in new oak is more likely to give someone a headache than a riesling.

That's a classic textbook bug you learn to test for in software developer class. And as a developer, it's edge cases like this you are always thinking about.
Similar to testing strings containing apostrophes when handling apostrophe delimited strings. Or semicolon delimited name/value pairs containing semicolons.
I wonder if this code was machine generated. There is a bug bounty bonanza right now due to machines creating bugs that are traditionally rare because the human developers had those fail points hammered into them as junior devs.

Forgot to mention. The fluid was transmission fluid. It gets pumped into a section of the radiator to keep it cool. Very odd timing it would start leaking right after I replaced the fluid...

All of a sudden, my vehicle has started leaking oily fluid.
I was worried that one of the plugs hadn't been tightened enough and had come loose, but no, it was coming from the bottom of the radiator.
I crawled underneath and there are two small tubes coming out of the bottom of the radiator, and fluid was leaking from where the rubber tube meets the metal connector.
I changed the rusty clamp. No dice. So I pulled out the hose and replaced it with a section of straight hose since the actual part isn't available. Still no dice!
So I lay there with a bright light and my glasses on, and I found a pin hole in the metal connector right where the rubber ends!
Luckily for me, my replacement hose is a few inches longer than the original, and I was able to push it over the top of the pin hole, and double clamp it. No more leak :-)

My car needed a transmission fluid change. If anyone has been through this experience, it's bloody expensive.
So last weekend I attended YouTube university and did it myself.
I got a bluetooth enabled OBDII device and a free app on my phone to access the vehicle sensors (there is a temperature sensor inside the transmission). I also got a little hand pump for transferring the fluid.
A few tool bits I didn't have, and it was as easy as changing oil. Did the differential oil at the same time.
Saved myself at least $500.
So this weekend I did the other vehicle, and saved another $500.
It took some research to find the correct fluid for the vehicle, and learning the correct process. Some nervous moments, and some application of common sense. But now I've done it, doing it again will be really easy.

Old enough to be an adult with kids.
Luckily for them, I had already dug into enough safety study data to realize that they are never tested on infants for ethical reasons.
Safety is therefore implied from adult test subjects.
So I dug into infant immune system research and very quickly discovered that they're structured and behave very differently from adults.
Then I discovered that the only reason they administer them to infants and toddlers is for administrative convenience.
So we hit pause until the kid's immune systems matured. And in the meantime it became clear that these things are not at all just what they present themselves to be.

Everything is an offer.
We are enslaved over time by repeatedly accepting offers until we become reliant on the one making the offers.
Freedom is having the ability to choose. Take the offer or walk away.
The most dangerous thing people can do is walk away from the king. They know it, and the scariest thing a person can do is work towards a position where they can do so.
But with freedom comes responsibility, inconvenience, and work. We must each assess where the balance is for us. This system does have great benefits, but at some point the cost is not worth it.

I've worked in tech start-ups most of my career, and this is a rarely talked about conditions that I have seen emerge in non-technical founders.
It starts with "fake it till you make it" which is somewhat necessary for your CEO to do in the early days.
Then they start believing their own jazz hands are magical.
And before you know it, their grip on reality starts slipping. You notice them lying when it isn't necessary or even advantageous to do so.
And as trust evaporates, they become paranoid, controlling, and their decisions become increasingly irrational.
Founder's syndrome. It's real, and it all starts with lies.

An X class flare launched directly at earth in the wee hours of the morning. And as it did, an even larger plasma filament intercepted the eruption and swallowed it up.
Such amazing resolution and beautiful! https://blossom.primal.net/b50367916c6f3cb82f2fde42f644adac4ac5c978a6086d40497ea15316496a30.mp4

Yeah. Gold is for war. Crypto is for flight.
In other words, gold is the money of last resort when no trust exists between parties in a transaction. Or even in the transactional capacity.
But you can't get the hell out of dodge with a pile of gold. When people flee war zones, tyranny, oppression, or persecution, crypto is the best option.

A buddy shot a moose yesterday, and so I took half the hide and spent a few hours this afternoon fleshing it.

Why only half the hide? Because the last time I tried processing a moose hide it seriously kicked my ass.
Tomorrow I'll continue fleshing, and then I will soak it in unchlorinated water with wood ashes mixed in. It will sit for 3 or 4 days in there until the hair starts to slip, and then I will either make leather or suede by scraping off the epidermal layer with my fleshing knife.

Monday morning and a bear breaks through the screen door of my friends house and goes inside looking for food.
So I get a call: "Hey you want a bear?"
Monday evening I skin and gut the bear. And all Tuesday is spent butchering, making burger, and rendering the fat.
Since then I have traded half the bear meat for homestead raised pork.
My buddy who shot the bear also gave me a frozen 22lb moose neck for my troubles as well.
So far it has been a blessed week for me, and a really shitty week for the bear.

I've been putting this job off, but it couldn't wait much longer as winter is coming.
A month or so ago I filled a 50 gallon plastic drum with old wool fleeces I picked up from a farmer for basically free, and covered it with well water and left it to undergo a natural process called suint fermentation.
Instead of using loads of hot water and detergents to scour the wool, you let microbes and time do the job.
The down side is that it really, really stinks. And today was the day I dove into the tub and pulled the wool out, rinsed it a few times, and then hung it out to dry.
https://blossom.primal.net/69c874986f913f50554209732ac630fe643eb1d47a310ab038caf5c1f3be0d45.jpg
Here is the fetid nastiness. It's grass, sticks, poop, urine, sweat, and hair grease (lanolin) all well fermented by some anaerobic bacteria. It smells worse than it looks.
https://blossom.primal.net/2fdc6b1779b0beb9f4e9029f20cc73fcdff3e0aa0adeff0788452d89ea29e400.jpg
I fished all the wool out, wrung out as much nastiness as I could, and then took it over to another barrel full of fresh water so that I could rinse it.
I did all the wool in two batches, rinsing each batch twice.
Here is all the wool, hanging up on the fence to dry:
https://blossom.primal.net/afa4cebca7b00046a64d82fac831debff6b8c1da7ee6d6d0cf5a1f21f0e098b2.jpg
Most of the smell is gone, and apparently once dry the smell will go away completely.
All that gross water makes excellent fertilizer and so the fruit trees and berry bushes all got a good fall feeding.
One thing I immediately noticed compared to the hot water / detergent method, is the wool is much cleaner. There are no tangles, no residual grease balls, and the wool fibers separate out by themselves which will make cleaning much, much easier.

I was an in-water rescue specialist for a SAR organization when I was younger. I was the one who trained for jumping into the water and retrieving people, performing CPR and any necessary first aid while I was there. Swim through surf onto rocky shorelines to get trapped and / or injured folks to safety etc.
One of the first things that got drilled into us on the medic side was that CPR almost never results in the person coming around like on TV. Your job is simply to keep oxygenated blood circulating until the medical attention needed to revive them is available.
I would have been astounded if you reported pulling an unconscious and non-breathing person out of the surf and had them come to on the beach.
If it's any consolation, there really isn't anything you can do to fuck up in that situation short of doing nothing.

I disagree with this viewpoint.
Initial patents are time limited protection so that inventors can develop their invention and get them to market before the big companies rip the product off.
They aren't cheap, and a permanent patent is typically beyond the affordability of most entrepreneurs working out of their garage.
Cashflow is what kills most young businesses. And sinking thousands into a patent which probably won't offer them actual protection without an expensive and lengthy court case is not a practical option.
What happens in real life is a big company monitors temporary patent applications, and if they want that product, they watch and wait until that patent expires, launch their own version with more cashflow, and sink the fledgling competitor.
Patents are a mechanism to reinforce the monopolistic position big companies have over their chosen markets. At least in the West.
