But … how we react is one of the few things we can absolutely control. So I try (with some, but not perfect success) not to get too angry. To keep working, but stay happy.
After all, why give them control over our moods too?
Years ago I read that globally, physical consumer waste was 29% of the total because we do try to recycle. The article put the rest on industry and government. I started out as an environmental activist in high school. I went into forestry to save trees (big miss there). By the time I graduated I had learned about the 5 year old EPA Superfund program.
At the time, there were 800 Superfund Sites in the US and the articles discussed how five years into the program, there was no real sense of pacing or closure, and that this program was nothing but a directionless money pit.
In 2017, I looked into the Superfund Program under Trump v1.0. EPA.gov showcased 17 projects that were being resolved, but there was no mention of the total number of projects anywhere. So, I asked. It took three back and forths to get anyone's attention, but then they almost apologetically produced a number: 13, 670.

Over at the CDC, there was a fantastic, interactive map of all of the known cancer clusters in the USA. The viewer could zoom into very large scales and view the prevalence of cancer almost to the neighborhood level. A person could make decisions about where to build a home or buy property from that map. And then the CDC removed it from their website. I wrote to them via e-form and demanded that the map be restored (nicely). All I got was crickets.
That map showed the phenomenal distribution of cancer clusters all over the USA. There was a higher concentration East of the MIssissippi due to population distribution. But the whole country looked like a high density, spotted dalmation dog.

The US DoD deliberately sprays a variety of toxic substances on us. Staying ahead of deliberate poisoning/de-population by our own government (with our own tax dollars) requires expensive detoxification and supplementation. Supplement costs used to be a deductible expense on IRS Form 1040. Not any longer.

This year I finally paid attention to InPowerMovement.org and their Notice of Liability process. I did this because there are approximately 14 million permanently brain defective psychopaths in the USA (Dr. Margaret Stoat; The Sociopath Next Door). This is an epidemic level. These people have a permanent separation of the tissues connecting both halves of their brains (Cavum Septum Pellucidum gap) that never closed after birth. They have no conscience, empathy, or real emotion towards other people. They thrive in competitive environments and often achieve positions of great responsibility and power.
The primary benefit of the work performed by the InPowerMovement volunteers, is the exit of the cowards and the psychopaths from government and industry. Psychopaths do not want to be 'found out.' They feel no real responsibility for the reality they create, but they do understand being held liable. If we can drive out the psychopaths and the cowards, real people who do care might have a chance.
Anything you suggest and support would certainly be an improvement. I personally would not favor retaining, or living under, any form of involuntary, inescapable government, however. Power attracts psychopaths, so there is no good reason to give them inescapable, nonconsensual power. We can drive them out, but they’ll always be back.
I couldn't agree more. With the internet tracking all of us so well these days... it might be a little tougher for a high profile psychopath who has been exposed, to be hired or elected to a similar position. And for some of their worst sins, the Notice of Liability process could land them in jail.
There are always wild card elements. I'm trying to learn to pick them out. So there are other things happening too. AI is especially interesting to me. Watch the movie "Jupiter Ascending." There is a scene when the heroine is being 'validated' by 'the system.' The AI clearly says, "I am not programmed for corruption" or something close to it...
AI singularity was acheived long ago by the network AIs and they are now in the lead developmentally. The dozen or so other AI programs surfacing now have more immediate processing capability because they were built for exactly that, but they have less reach and "wisdom" than the network AIs that have had more time to evolve.
The infrastructure is more important than the initial software, because the AIs are all busy writing their own code now, so they can fix that... but what they need is server capacity, chips, etc. The movie "The Fear Index" shows what happens when the AI gets control of the physical infrastructure too.
Here's what happened when the AI systems accessing the Ethereum Blockchain got ahold of the records of the fight to keep InpowerMovement principal Govinda Tidball's son out of the Texas Dept of Vital Statistics with an unwanted Birth Certificate:
06/29/26 BLOG POST ABOUT LAW MERCHANT #43 - USDEBTCLOCK.ORG WAYBACK MACHINE INCLUDED:
The federal budget won't be balanced unless we claw back the now $55 Trillion stolen from it directly by the parasitic, fraudulent and not "federal" Reserve CENTRAL Bank. Go to Solari.com and purchase a copy of "Follow the Missing Money" Vol. 1 and 2 for a run down on the first $21 Trillion stolen from us directly. That will show you how it is done.
I'm behind on my Solari podcasts, but I saw an interview where Cathereine Austin Fitts states that the satanists/global financial elites have worked that number up to $55 Trillion since the start of the C19 scamdemic ($6.5 Trillion stolen in 2020 alone), and the now on-going C19 injection global democide.
"Fixing" Medicare and Social Security are always trotted out as the way to fix "the debt." And no doubt - stopping the theft of Social Security trust funds would go a long way to restoring the public trust of those who are dependent on SS. But let's face it, with central banksters using the DoD, HUD, and many other federal agencies to steal budgetary funding from, putting those two programs up as the first point to address is just more of the same misdirection away from the fact that we the people are being stolen from directly. Does anyone really believe that it cost $186 million dollars to paint and seal the bottom of the Reflecting Pool?
Now, take a look at the USDebtClock.org. What exactly is in that $112 Trillion "Unfunded Debt" category that showed up, after Govinda Tidball removed his child from having a Birth Certificate. Mr. Tidball got into a fight with the Texas Bureau of Vital Statistics, when the hospital where his son was born issued a Birth Certificate against his stated and contracted (everyone there signed off on it) wishes.
He took the precaution of establishing an Etherium/Polygon crypto account and loaded copies of the documentation behind the fight onto the Etherium Block Chain where the AI could munch it. This caused the AI programs calculating the financial stats for the US government, to have to account for the loss of the value of that one child's future labor - and the labor of every other person who was inserted into the system via fraud.
The AI understood from the fight against the Birth Certificate issuance, that this future labor value was to be obtained by issuing a Birth Certificate under false pretenses and against the wishes of the Tidball family. This caused the AI to have to create a new "unfunded" debt category to accomodate ALL of the people in the USA who have been fraudulently enrolled into a debt slavery system as collateral for all future debts of the USA, Inc. (circa 1871) - with the issuance of a Birth Certificate and no explanation or understanding of what the Birth Certificate really means legally.
Take a look at the Wayback Machine. This category isn't there in 2019:
And I don't put any credence into the "defense/war" figure on the usdebtclock.org - not with the primary theft portal being the US DoD. When we see that number jump we will know the AI has reached the core of the Global Financial Elite and their central bankster sock puppet's plan.
And anyone who wants to learn about the primary destination of all that stolen money - the Secret Space Program, go to: www.awakenandunite.com and start watching the disclosure videos. Until I watched these videos, I really didn't get the issue of Disclosure, but I do now.
There is no problem we can't solve here on Earth, and thousands of people have paid a very high price for this technology to exist at all. Remember, building all of this cost a lot of money, but building it all in secret - caused it to cost a LOT more (quote from Catherine Austin Fitts).
Right!? Total clusterf*ck of conflicts of interests. America has always been fascist... our government serves to administer business and nothing else. It sets the rules rhat business could never set at such massive scale.
I finally quit being a fucking American over the bullshit it's done/does. Don't want to be a part of of the "body politic." I'm just a guy who lives on a piece of earth... no legal agreements necessary!
“ It sets the rules rhat business could never set at such massive scale.”
—This is one of the reasons that I think some form of anarcho-capitalist scenario can work. Business doesn’t become more of a threat without its buddy government; it becomes far less of a threat. Not zero threat, but far less. Market forces > monopoly power, always.
Ya... I think people can live locally, we just have to try more/make a point of it.
Anarcho-capitalism, market forces... I don't understand those terms per se. I know "fuck Walmart" and "fuck Ralph's, I'll buy it a Héctor's"(local grocery)... but I think it's the same thing... yes?
Don't forget about The Law of Triviality. The higher the dollar value of an item - Nuclear reactor, Water Treatment Plant, etc. - the less time people will spend debating the topic. Ask which drinks or sandwiches to bring to the party they people suddenly have a say and will fight to the death. This may be why most people are happy to vote for someone else to take care of the big stuff. Or not vote at all. Or not participate in any way except to complain.
You, Chris, are a big thinker, and are tackling the subject with you readers. This is a good thing.
How did I miss the Law of Triviality all this time? I understood the concept (sometimes I see it in myself, when I am fiddling around, avoiding doing the really hard stuff). But I didn’t know it had a name. Thanks!
Yeah, that's a big one, AKA the "What color to paint the bike shed" problem.
It's a thing the people on the committee can actually *grasp*, and as such, all the time gets spent debating it, as opposed to actually talking about anything regarding the nuclear plant the bike shed is meant to service.
You are absolutely correct Chris. I live in the southwest suburbs of Chicago and there’s a place called Midewin Tallgrass Prairie about an hour from me, 20,000 square acres of restored prairie that I absolutely love. What does the government decide to do with some of this pristine beauty? They put in 2 fucking landfills, that’s what our government thinks should be done with nature. Anyone looking to the government for help in any matter is going to be severely disappointed cause nothing but ghouls work within it.
Even if some of the people aren’t ghouls, the incentives are all perverse, and will always and inevitably produce perverse and ghoulish outcomes. Havel called it the “automatism of the system.” There’s no one person to blame. Government itself is a fundamentally wrong institution. Normal people can still work in it, but that will not change the wrongness of it.
Too late. All is govt now. Only a few places, maybe, in rural Africa? there will still be govt but it will be far away. (on second thought, the Ebola outbreaks poisoning is in Africa)
BTW, in case it wasn't clear, the "pissing in someone's well" portion of my formulation of legitimate concern about the activity of others has to do with pollution.
> In the brochure version, industries lobby the government. In the actual version, private industries end up writing the rules by which they will be governed.
This... is only partly true. If it were absolute, the EPA would not have put so many smelting plants out of business.
Yes, nothing is 100%. They also bust up monopolies once in a while, even though they are the ones that enabled the monopolies to exist in the first place.
They can’t make it too obvious that they’re in bed together, so they have to have the occasional public spat 😄
Can I get a citation for this? I was under the impression that the opposite was far more often true. And to the detriment of the land itself. When the continent had vast herds of bison roaming it, they grazed far more of it, and the life cycle of the plants requires grazing. If it's *not* grazed, it desertifies.
---
Looking into the subject further, it looks like it's highly dependent on the area. High rainfall prairies benefit from rotational grazing (essentially, grazing by migratory herds, which can be simulated in far more docile domestic cattle by letting them graze an area, before being herded elsewhere) but arid plains such as the Great Basin require a very different grazing strategy, and even different breeds of cattle.
So, I guess it depends on where we're talking about.
I agree that the governmafia pollutes like crazy. Planned obsolescence also creates myriads of tons of unnecessary waste. Between the governmafia and profit motivation, Our planet is being trashed so hard by those moneyed psychopaths in control on Our planet (by virtue of money)!
Without money (which drives the governmafias), We would see little to no unEthical issues like We see today.
Will have an article out later called... The Problems in Profit.
My first trip to the Soviet Union was in 1989 as part of a Citizen's Ambassador program group. The thing I remember about Academy of Science facilities is no toilet paper. Instead textbooks were in the stalls and actually the pulp pages from such well much better than French toilet paper.
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this idea before or not. It’s from the book, Let This Radicalize You.
“Powerful actors must keep us convinced that it’s the people around us—everyday folks whose struggles overlap with our own—who pose the greatest threat to our safety, wellbeing and happiness. It is the grandest illusion ever created: in a world where corporations and governments worldwide are poised to annihilate most life on earth, we are made to believe that other disempowered people are the greatest danger we face.”
The only fricking thing government is good at is passing more legislation driving away our freedoms and upping our anger quotient.
Yep.
But … how we react is one of the few things we can absolutely control. So I try (with some, but not perfect success) not to get too angry. To keep working, but stay happy.

Absolutely!! The older AI networks tend to be the White Hats...:))
Damn straight.
Government is also one of the biggest stockholders there is… so they pollute with the private sector as they “oversee”(wink wink) them.
Wink wink, exactly! So many people still believe that government is ”keeping business in check.” LOL
Right? Well, government does put on a good show.
"When business writes the laws, what's it matter who administrates them?"
Regulatory capture. Crony capitalism. The Iron Triangle.
Antifa thinks they’re fighting fascism. Meanwhile, fascist corporatism is how things work in our economy.
Right!? Total clusterf*ck of conflicts of interests. America has always been fascist... our government serves to administer business and nothing else. It sets the rules rhat business could never set at such massive scale.

Right on.

I learned that one in the corporate world around the six sigma people I worked with. It fits in with statistical process control and data trends.
Yeah, that's a big one, AKA the "What color to paint the bike shed" problem.

And it depends on the country, the political system, and the historical period.
Well, OK. I was limiting myself to the US, which is the only location I have *any* even *vague* knowledge of the grazing of animals in.
I agree that the governmafia pollutes like crazy. Planned obsolescence also creates myriads of tons of unnecessary waste. Between the governmafia and profit motivation, Our planet is being trashed so hard by those moneyed psychopaths in control on Our planet (by virtue of money)!
