The national (aka sovereign) debt of a nation-state is the shared responsibility of all of its citizens. It’s pretty sobering figuring out the totality of the debt divided by the number of taxpayers.
The sovereign debt of the US Treasury has been increasing since its currency was privatised in 1913 and its purchasing power reduced by 99% due to inflation.
The commercial banks in the US such as Bank of America, Citibank, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo et cetera create 98% of the US money supply as interest bearing debt out of thin air every time they make a loan. As the principal of the loans are repaid, they are required to delete it back out of existence, but they get to keep the interest, that also has to be created as debt, the major cause of inflation of the currency.
Officially China used to hold more but about 10 years ago, they slowly reduced their holdings. However, I have read that China uses Belgium to purchase some US Treasuries to obscure China's holdings.
Interestingly, both China and Japan hold over 250 billion of US agency bonds (e.g. Fannie Mae) each. For some reason, foreign holders of US agency bonds don't get discussed much.
this spring I've seen a whopping 2 bees so far. one honeybee being eaten by a shiny jumping spider (sad, that) and a bumblebee pollinating my strawberries.
I am not sure I have seen a living bee in about one year or more. Neither Las Vegas nor anywhere in Thailand has a winter hibernation cycle per say though sometimes a cold snap in Vegas will take them out for a few weeks. The bee numbers are absolutely way down everywhere I've travelled...
disturbing. there did seem to be less bees here last year. birds too.
there were also less mosquitoes than usual though, which I'll never complain about a reduced quantity of. and considering the government has been spreading GMO mosquitoes via multiple drops in Hawaii and Florida, I'm extra glad to see less of that particular type of parasite.
I keep my yard as pollinator friendly as possible, to the point the City harasses me about vegetation height, so I should be getting plenty of insects and those that feed upon them here.
hoping the bee count increases this spring though, not a big fan of hand pollinating my fruits and vegetables
Thanks for that link. It's fascinating that Pope Francis chose a simple coffin instead of the more elaborate traditional burial rites. Could it be guilt over sanctifying the jabs for his 1.3 billion followers, some of whom might have even been coerced into getting them due to this?
So happy to hear you're finding solutions to your headaches!
I no longer sleep on an earthing bed mat after a commenter elsewhere on Substack provided much caution. My foot has remained pain free. The mat certainly helped that condition improve beyond anything I expected. I've just received and have started sleeping with a Schumann Resonance generator. Feeling very well with two herbs Dr. Corrin and Geneva (both Substacks) have recommended.
I think bees are very much affected by EMFs.
Liked free speech, spiritual AF, and people/animals/things/etc. which save us. So true, Amy!! I've been without cats since moving to my current location (all died natural deaths), but I sure do miss them!! I'm governed by an HOA here and am waiting until I move.
The spiritual AF is interesting for me now. I don't have many interactions with society and people these days--since Covid "reset" a great deal in my life. So, peeling off that onion layer is a mystery.
You folks look happy! Be well and prosper as Spock might say.
We're trying our best despite the circumstances. Regarding the earthing bed mat sometimes things that promise relief only work for a short period of time. But we all are drawn to easy fixes over much more difficult internal work I suppose.
I want to get my mother a new kitten now that both of her older cats have died off. For that matter I desperately miss my cats and dogs. Often it's those little things that make a big difference...
LOL well it's a photo of a bee I suppose. Mostly I was digging into the veracity of the 60% collapse in bee colony numbers this year. It sounded like an alarmist fear mongering headline so I wanted to make sure it wasn't just fear porn. Unfortunately it does not seem that it is, which led me to muse about how few bees I ever see anymore. Just a few days ago in the camp bathroom a long abandoned bee hive fell from the rafters on the ceiling down to the floor. It was clear that it hadn't been used by bees in years.
This has led me to more general musings about the number of insects I see overall. I haven't really noticed a reduction in ants or millipeds, say but the flying insects, all of them from beetles to butterflies to bees are rarely seen anymore...
My psychologist neighbor used to have several beehives on his four acre property in Westchester County NY and collected several pounds of honey every year. Then about ten years ago all his bees died. I told him that it was because his wife had used round up on their relatively small lawn to control weed infestation, but he did not believe me. He also thinks that CO2 is a poison gas that causes global warming.
However, as you know, without CO2 all photosynthesising plant life would die off.
Since life began on earth about four billion years ago, plants and animals have co-evolved together in a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship. Warming of the oceans precedes CO2 increases in the gas atmosphere, since CO2 is less soluble in warmer water.
Also by strange coincidence today I was stung by a wasp as I opened my bedroom window. Luckily I had a tube of cortizone-10 ointment handy to dull the pain.
Thanks for the suggestions. I read Kyle Young's article regarding orbs which covered the levitation of bees and scarabs. My guess is that this property would make them more affected by electromagnetic phenomena such as EMF...
After a gap of nearly 20 years, I got to visit my brother and his wife. They are jab believers, and still love their microwave. (I had to find the following link on Yandex. It no longer exists elsewhere).
I’m thrilled you got to see your family members. I have been pondering my daughters smart phone and especially ipod usage. I fear that they won’t listen to me…
Nice photo of you two.
Thanks. :-)

The rot goes deep.

Inflation-bearing interest on the debt are the banks’ assets. Either that’s upside down or I don’t know what direction right side up is.
And just when you think it can't get worse, you see Japan with a 263% of debt to GDP ratio.
Japan has been under the control of the central banks since the end of the Second World War, no?
I assume so and they are now holding over 1.1 trillion dollars of US Treasury bonds. That easily makes them the largest holder of any foreign country.
I assumed (probably wrongly) that China held more than that in US Treasury bonds.
Officially China used to hold more but about 10 years ago, they slowly reduced their holdings. However, I have read that China uses Belgium to purchase some US Treasuries to obscure China's holdings.

not many flowers yet though.

There was also something about him simplifying the various rites following Benedict’s death

Google on Juneteenth. Google on Easter.
Perfect.
By strange coincidence I saw a bumble bee for the first time this year today on my property.
By the way, the photo of the bee above is not a bumble bee.

About those headaches. I haven't read this but you may find it helpful.
Perhaps even a saving grace.
Butterbur and Feverfew for Migraine: What the Science Really Says.

Speaking of bees, been reading of their decline for around ten years now.
And a little known factoid: Bees can't fly but can levitate. Even travel in a straight line for long distances up to 30 mph with a 30 mph crosswind.

The first one forgot to mention that Jesus is also coming out of retirement sometime soon.
After a gap of nearly 20 years, I got to visit my brother and his wife. They are jab believers, and still love their microwave. (I had to find the following link on Yandex. It no longer exists elsewhere).

Here is one quote from that article- Microwaving your food causes...
- A higher percentage of cancer cells in the blood;
-Degeneration of the immune system and the body’s ability to protect itself from malignant tumors;
- Digestive system disorders and gradual destruction of the digestive and excretory systems;
- A statistically higher incidence of stomach and intestinal cancers.
I am glad you are finding headache relief, Amy. Microwaves and people sure are a bad combo.
I’m thrilled you got to see your family members. I have been pondering my daughters smart phone and especially ipod usage. I fear that they won’t listen to me…
Glad to hear about the headaches. You guys are looking happy!
It wasn't the Jews. It was actually the Italians.
