  1. "I'll give another perspective, perhaps even more scary than keeping away from the white-coats; food, water, money and energy. Once these are fully controlled by the cabal - outlined in the first paragraph - it is game over. " yep..... its basically "money" , cause that is what determines who controls everything else . (its all monopoly money, of course . i'm sure people like Catherine Fitts can explain in depth how its all done. ) . As for food, the problem is two fold . 90% of it is just manufactured, processed junk Problem : People WANT it ! yes, they are addicted to the sugar and carbs and bad oils, etc . But, again, they are ADDICTS at this point and if offered fresh veggies and organic meat , most would still opt for mcdonalds. They just don't care ! and the few that do care , well...Problem 2 : prices for good food are like 3 times as much . as well as limited supply . That fact always makes me shake my head in wonder at the population enthusiasts who scream : " bs. there's plenty of everything for twice the number of world inhabitants . " . Also, good food has to be cooked ! who has time for that ? pffffttt. "we are the many, they are the few " . In numbers of BODIES, we are definitely the number . And ever growing . But, just look around . Those bodies are just getting bigger and fatter and more unhealthy , and dare i say ....lazy (unhealthy people will be such) ..... and stoopid . Daily Cynic . (ask not what the world can do for you . ask what you are willing to do for yourself )
  2. Thank you . I have just changed my previous example of optimism and replaced it with this hum dinger ! ***** And , before anyone throws darts at me..... I can proudly say that i believe I , little ole me, can take solace that I am indeed weakening the empire **** read more , click here, subscribe , be a lifetime member to my subsract : The Daily Cynic .
  3. They were going to tackle him....... but he raised the white flag
  4. To the OP . I (and a few other "nut jobs" ) do believe much the same as Mr S. Mump . The many different symptoms of "long covid" require a strong belief by the sufferer that allopathic protocols often cause more harm than good . And , if then one decides to go an "alternate route" ..... it is a tough road, no doubt. Involving a total dedication to alter lifestyle, diet, searching for what is really happening with ones body.... and sticking to a health/ supplement based protocol . So..... if that statement above is one you do not agree with, or even suspect might be correct ...... then by all means go to the mainstreet doctor of your choice. He or she will tell you that "internet wackos" don't know anything . (even though some of the wackos are ... or were.... highly respected experts in their fields relating to "viruses" and vaccines.) reading materials (research) as well as personal anecdotes can be provided by S.M ...... and others here (residing in the "Off the beaten track" forum )
  5. i doubt he will learn . the hardcore here will be on their deathbed saying. "if only i had taken that 7th booster " . why they bother to troll here really shows their derangement on all matters not agreeing with there programming.
  6. yes, i would consider paying ..... for sure if i used it a lot ( but i don't really) . However .............. if you go to https://alter.systems/ i believe you will have the 10 free queries , as it resets after a certain time ( less than 24 hours ) . I have used it many times (around 10) , but noticed the last 2 times the time was lessening ( which i questioned as shown in my comment today to you ) . I forget what the cost is for paying customers, will have another look, and think about it. Just wondered if you had done so . i agree, their answers are MUCH more along my needs than chatgpt or google ai , thats for sure
  7. Red P........... i really like the alter system AI ...... until my "free" usage began to dissolve faster each time . here is a snapshot : The faster drain isn’t a malfunction — it’s because each message now includes more background and reasoning than the first ones did. Would you like me to show you how to estimate remaining free usage per message so you can gauge how many long Q&A rounds you’ve got left? if you were an actual person...... i would disagree with your answer because i just asked a simple question but the points deducted were 2 Fair point — and you’re right to notice. A “2‑point” drop can definitely feel off when you only asked a short question. Here’s what’s actually going on behind that small-looking exchange: I then i gave a mild sarcastic reply ....... and got ERROR ! hahaha do you still use them ? free is quite limited
  8. What are the 8 signs of the end? 1 What Are the Signs of the End Times? Religious deception. Wars and rumors of war. Famines. Pestilences (disease epidemics). Earthquakes. Signs in the heavens. Persecution of the followers of Christ. Lawlessness. Social media posters with thumbs down signs emblazoned on their foreheads
  9. "While working in GSK’s QC department about 25 years ago, I witnessed extremely rigorous quality-control practices in the vaccine industry. Even the slightest contamination with barely detectable amounts of residual ‘naked’ DNA originating from cell culture was taken very seriously and prompted additional purification efforts. Those times are clearly gone! Criminal companies like Pfizer have exploited-without any scruples-the corrupt mindset that has gradually infiltrated increasingly conflicted regulatory agencies over the past two decades. Making or keeping people healthy has long ceased to be the primary goal of our healthcare system and of the private and public institutions that were once committed to it. The only remaining objective is to make shareholders ever richer. Directly or indirectly bribing regulatory authorities is a strategy many pharmaceutical companies do not shy away from as it quite evidently yields substantial returns." Geert Vanden Bossche
  10. I agree , though everything is also a matter of "degree" . Having lived 70 years ago, I feel qualified to anecdotally say : I wish those days were here again . Even back then I had an anti-big brother attitude .............. but it sure was easier to find hiding places and feel some independence .
  11. Well, i dare say that "WE" have been on this downward path for a long time. The slide has just steepened over the last 5 years...... and at this point i would say we are neck deep in the boiling soup pot . Still, seems like many just don't feel the heat yet (well, mostly those who have accumulated enough to feel secure in their retirement) . Others might identify with "you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows" In any case ........ I will admit it is hard to be carefree when I can not help but envision a great big soup bone crashing down , and that will be the last ounce of fresh air that I breathe . please contact me by my new identity : gfbbb2026
  12. OMG ! rumak has some competition . didn't know they were letting people with a sense of (original) humor in nowadays . hmmmmm It's ok, i enjoy something fresh , to lighten up these dreary days of kindergarten smears . lost geckos ? work on that one LOL
  13. you probably are on your 5th username . why the need to change all the time ?
  14. absolutely true ....just a fake narrative . these hit pieces are attempts to give ammunition to the trump haters. not even worthy to point out how ridiculous these members are that can't see the game .
  15. Yep... i know one guy that surely lived up to his promise : "Change We Can Believe In" was the primary campaign slogan for Barack Obama's successful 2008 U.S. Presidential campaign." and believe me ......... just look at the good ole usa now ! What a ***** change, indeed !
  16. THIS .... is the truth . People just don't try to understand what "globalism" entails . It takes a lot of work , sorting through the mess that is called "the financial system" . I certainly am not a scholar on that subject . But i am good at putting 2 and 2 together: "Today, Amazon is the third largest company in the world by market capitalisation, after Apple and Microsoft, with a market capitalisation of $1.7 trillion. But BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, controls more than $10 trillion worth of assets. One or another of the Big Three asset managers – BlackRock, Vanguard or State Street – is the largest shareholder in around 88 per cent of S&P500 companies. BlackRock alone is the largest investor in thirty-eight such companies," look kids.... they "manage" everything. And if you don't believe that includes the govt. leaders and banking "institutions" ...... then , ok, just stick with Trump is the problem. Actually , trying to FIX the problem is the problem ! As the trump haters fight the trump lovers....... the real "managers" of zee world play golf and laugh at us over cocktails.
  17. read that very slowly .............. now , think ............... what caused this (and who ...not one person) ........ ok. 2 seconds was enough for you. TRUMP ! really Mike..... what happened to you ?
  18. These posters (and frankly i am surprised that 007 falls in that group) ...... really just listen to the anti trump sources and repeat what they read. Trump has only been in office a little over 4 years , while Democrats held the office for 12 years , continuing the destruction of affordable living for a vast number of hard working people. Ahhh, but the welfare and food stamp and free healthcare recipients celibrate like spoiled kids when the parents are away. The American dream is shattered. Not because of Trump... but the subject is much too large to fit into name calling comments. All in all... its like a fat lady that has taken decades to get to obese status ........ and then she blames everyone else . Corporations (blackrock buying up houses and raising the cost to the common people), corrupt politicians from both sides selling out (its really been a "uniparty" of self serving jerks for decades ) , and a health system that was bad and got worse with obama's fiasco, which increased insurance company profits two fold. You don't fix this kind of FAT in a few months . Actually... a REAL dictator is what really is needed . Get rid of all the crooked judges and govt. entrenched blood suckers . Stop printing money ..fake money.... that is given , yes given, to the banking cartels. On and on ....... 007 should stop with the caricatures and name calling. Read a few conspiracy theory ideas that i would be glad to provide . It really is a bit more complicated , understanding just how "everything got so expensive".
  19. Yes dear ! but what ya gonna do when they come for you ? some of us survive hidden in our cubbyholes . as long as the money stays in the family, the rich will get by . Retired folks are dropping like flies. Partly their own fault (no idea how to sustain health) ............ and the other part the big hammer they like to call INFLATION. Don't have a serious health issue.... cause it will throw you in the street . note: "inflation" is the fake money you refer to . note 2 : this is not meant to be a Trump bashing ! maybe ( i still hope for miracles) the chipping away at the foundations of globalism being done will one day bring down the towers . the question i just can't answer positively is : Is this disaster of a world too big to save ?
  20. The world population are basically programmed idiots . They repeat what they are fed, and what they are fed has been controlled by corrupt governments and big media . Even alternative media is just click bait . Serious change not happening. Prices going up ... again. As usual, I am the cynic who can't help but report what seems obvious . I don't know if the "new administration" in the US wants to really change anything, or if its just a game where the blame can always be put on "we have to work within the current system" . pffffft . Well, if that is the case ......... seems like the current system is holding strong . Sure, that just brings cries and taunts of "look how much they've done already" . hmmmm. ok, they closed the border , but 99% still there and getting benefits ! And.... they're gonna build AI everywhere . hmmmm. just how is that gonna work out ? the rich keep getting richer . soooo easy . the other 80% ? in the pot of boiling water. Fox news is almost as bad as the other cr+p . "HEY ! Billions more in tariffs . Trillions! " oh boy. BBC ? ...... don't worry, maybe a scapegoat once in a while, but still the beat goes on. Globalism is alive and well . Now shut up and play with your iPhones !
  21. Warning : talking with the average Thai person (not highly educated with intl. travel experience ) ........ requires understanding that Freud and Joseph Conrad are not subjects they find SANUK . You need to find the third world consiousness within you . hahaha I am well aware that the Farang who seeks intellectual stimulation in a Thai relationship is almost always disappointed ! ( though some here will of course say that their's is DIFFERENT)
  22. More than months, Mr. C . Now then, what else you have to do ? Commit yourself to something other than your addiction to this AN site . I mean, really !! Take the challenge. And... little by little you will see the rewards . Schools for me (thai learning) were mai sanuk . But i did go for a little more than a month. Then studied on my own, the old fashioned way . Flash cards to learn vocabulary. And a simple method (from an old AUA system of books that no longer exist) . Basically, how to make simple sentences. You speak about "intelligence" .... well, surely learning the language is the priority in making this experience in your life a much more fulfilling one. You can always PM me for pointers on what I did . And, really only about an hour or so a day once i had a little understanding of the basics. This is one case where a thai chic might enjoy teaching YOU something . And you can take a break from being an alpha . Nice to show another side sometimes 😉
  23. oh , man......... thank haysus that I am just a simple man . And that the hi so stuff was never my thing . Sure, a nice restaurant once in a while, but i always had my favorite small places where i was known, and the food was fresh . That's how i like my girls.... shy, unassuming , and definitely not expecting me to follow their directions. Diamonds in the rough . I found that girls are most attracted to guys who are SANUK . Sanuk can not be practiced. It is not about telling jokes. It is about being naturally witty . Also, the fact that i was often busy was attractive . Where they could see me in action.. I could not play bass... but as a small coffee shop owner i did show my stuff. After , when i no longer had that shop..... dates were a LOT harder to get . hmmm. speaks volumes. In Thailand in my fifties i also had something i was involved in . Though its "who you are that matters" ....... what you are sure does seem to make a difference. Who sits on the bench.... and who plays... are two different stories.
  24. uhhhhh, i think he was joking Mr. C .......... 🙄🙄
  25. he has mentioned it ... (i will whisper it to you later )
