<title>Genocide in Gaza</title>
<guid isPermaLink="false">124099</guid>

<description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://robertblinov.net/blog/"&gt;Robert&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In less than a month of active war, Israeli strikes have killed more civilians in Gaza than have been killed in Ukraine in the last twenty. That is more than 8000 Gazans — 3000 of them beïng children. It’s collective punishment, in a nutshell. But &lt;a href="https://www.foreignaffairs.com/israel/what-palestinians-really-think-hamas"&gt;67% of Gazans don’t even trust Hamas&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Israel has the right to punish &lt;i&gt;only&lt;/i&gt; the attack’s participants and masterminds. But it is now bombing areas in south Gaza which it previously designated as “safe” for evacuation!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The whole thing is a deliberate mess.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Net n’ Yahoo knew about the incoming attack but chose to stand down.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Israel helped Hamas amid its founding last century so it would weaken the Palestine Liberation Organisation by competing with it. And indeed, Hamas are doing a big disservice to Palestine’s reputation among the ill-informed.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There are many Jews in the region today only because of preplanned mass migration that began in the 19th century and displaced hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. (Mass migration makes sociëties implode.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Gaza is an open-air concentration camp: it lacks resources, is surrounded by walls, and has its sea access fettered &amp; its skies dominated by Israel.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I pray for peace and foreign non-intervention. Ending all bloodshed is step one on humanity’s path to bliss.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The stubborn will never find a lasting solution to the conflict. But all it takes is to understand that the real god does not have any “chosen people”.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Asymmetric information is one of mankind’s biggest issues. A party with significantly more information about a deal’s object is incentivised to rip off the other. Dentists, real-estate agents, and technicians do this quite often.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Occultism is simply an extreme level of informational asymmetry. Hide the truth about solar cycles, and claim “climate change” for your own profit!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do your own research and share what you find.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Non-instant tax rebates are scams: all they do is replace income tax with inflation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Taxation is a racket by itself; for the boon of mankind it must be abolished.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Uranium shells in Ukraine</title>
<guid isPermaLink="false">121502</guid>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://robertblinov.net/blog/"&gt;Robert&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After hearing about the UK’s intent to supply Ukraine with uranium-filled shells, I first thought that it was fake-news clickbait or satire. But it is true.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Depleted or not, uranium is a toxic contaminant that causes cancers &amp; birth defects, and which takes thousands of years to break down after dissemination. True hellraisers, these so-called strategists.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This latest decision is total proof that they do not actually care about the Ukrainians and their supposed land. The conflict is being dragged on merely to normalise permanent deprivation (and to launder money in the process).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is a part of the 2030 agenda: toxic and infertile soil leads to less available land, which leads to less real food, and thus to having more power over the people, including the ability to push us into &lt;s&gt;smart&lt;/s&gt; &lt;a href="https://robertblinov.net/blog/all/15-minute-cities/"&gt;prison cities&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The warmongers must be stopped before they turn the already enormous suffering, destruction, and death into World War 3.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Bank fees</title>
<guid isPermaLink="false">121803</guid>

<description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://robertblinov.net/blog/"&gt;Robert&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Putting aside &lt;a href="https://robertblinov.net/blog/all/copyrighted-euros"&gt;the issue of centralisation&lt;/a&gt;, cash is quite a good means-of-exchange. Transactions are private by default, work without digital technology, and do not require intermediaries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This latter point is as important as the two former ones. Most banks have a transaction fee that &lt;a href="https://robertblinov.net/blog/all/london-jan-2020"&gt;nearly&lt;/a&gt; always goes unseen by the customer. Using cards instead of cash lets parasitic intermediaries amass money originally belonging to productive men and their families:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="e2-text-picture"&gt;
&lt;img src="https://robertblinov.net/blog/pictures/bank-fees.png" width="2456" height="1528" alt="" /&gt;
&lt;div class="e2-text-caption"&gt;&lt;i&gt;y&lt;/i&gt; = 100% × (100% − 2%)&lt;sup&gt;&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;, &lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; being the number of card transactions&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The banking cartel dreams of a cashless society because it will enable free reign over transaction fees, and thus the acceleration of the transfer of wealth. The Italian bank-terminal mandate and cash-transaction cap must be abolished.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Avoid banks whenever you can. If withdrawing cash, use the ATM twice to drive up the statistics: for example, withdraw 100 € two times instead of 200 € at once.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is a surprising admission of the truth: central banks are the only ones allowed to &lt;s&gt;counterfeit&lt;/s&gt; dilute currency value by increasing its supply.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Remember: when the money isn’t scarce, everything else is.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Environmentalism has been hijacked</title>
<guid isPermaLink="false">121923</guid>
<link>https://robertblinov.net/blog/all/environmentalism/</link>

<description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://robertblinov.net/blog/"&gt;Robert&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eliminating waste and pollution is a noble cause. But environmentalism today has been almost completely taken over by climate alarmists. They are quite the hypocrites — yelling about rising sea levels while buying beachfront property.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Quoting Carl Sagan, we live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Global warming&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m not worried about rising temperatures. The extent of Arctic sea ice is the highest in decades. Antarctica just had its coldest winter with more ice than ever. Natural disasters are less frequent, and deaths related to them have fallen from 500 thousand a year in the 1920s to 14 thousand a year now. The weakness of the latest solar cycle might actually lead to global cooling.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;About half of today’s land-surface temperature measurements are fraudulent: they are taken next to airport runways with hot jet engines and tarmac. TV channels are manipulating viewers by spicing up temperature colors: I’d expect that Birmingham black to visualise 45 °C, not just 33!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="e2-text-picture"&gt;
&lt;img src="https://robertblinov.net/blog/pictures/temperature-colors.png" width="901" height="483" alt="" /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But if Earth is actually warming, it’s a good thing: 10 times fewer people die from heat than from cold. Sweat is a blessing: it excretes toxins, increases blood flow, and opens up the skin. I want extra summer!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chemtrails, sun-blocking, and similar geoëngineering must be banned constitutionally.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;b&gt;C&lt;/b&gt;arbon dioxide versus actual pollution&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is no historical relationship between atmospheric CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and temperatures on Earth. Atmospheric &lt;b&gt;C&lt;/b&gt;arbon dioxide is in fact at a 300-million-year record-low because of natural fluctuations in the Sun’s energy output. Today it makes up just 0.042% of Earth’s total atmosphere.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Earth was way more biodiverse when it had ten times today’s CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;. An atmosphere richer in &lt;b&gt;C&lt;/b&gt;arbon leads to plants producing more &lt;b&gt;O&lt;/b&gt;xygen, and forests and grasslands spreading to places previously too cold to support them. It would also mean more food for everyone and a subsequent drop in poverty. Greenhouse growers buy CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; generators to double plant growth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cow farts cannot be worse for the environment than factories spewing chemical waste all day. Besides, the world-round cattle population has fallen by at least 100 million over the last 30 years, and this did not stop greenhouse gas emissions from going up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;C&lt;/b&gt;arbon is the foundation of organic chemistry and a building block of life. Something we emit when breathing cannot be bad for the environment. Restrictions and taxes on CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; emissions must be banned constitutionally.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The real problem is actual air pollution, which kills 7 million people every year. Particles less than 0.1 micrometres in diameter — especially from diesel fuels — cause premature births, asthma, cancers, and mysterious illnesses. Boogers of a color other than white are a sign of dirty air.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fireworks frighten birds and animals, while contaminating air and earth. Banning them, along with limiting car use in cities, will largely solve noise pollution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Clean spring water should be easy to access straight from the tap. It’s scary how a tiny minority of people using Teflon pans for the last 30 years made rainwater no longer drinkable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Free markets and the role of government&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is sensible to minimise waste, pollution, and plastics. But rarely should something be done at all costs: absolutist approaches almost always lead to disasters. Good transitions are Tarzan-like: not letting go of the old before the new can replace it. Every policy decision must go thru a cost-benefit analysis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Clearly-defined property rights can help reduce pollution: a property owner has a natural incentive to take good care of his land. A neighbor’s cigarette smoke reaching my house should be considered a property violation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most environmental calamities have been caused by governments and corporations. That’s why BP coined the term “climate footprint” in 2005 to try to pass its responsibility onto the individual. Big Energy uses another trick too: taking bribes to consider corporations users of 100% “clean energy”, thus turning regular people into users of “dirty energy”. The artificial legislative construct of limited liability lets companies destroy the environment for a fixed price — it must be abolished!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Government agencies should be required to assess critical habitats affected by their projects and always choose the most environmentally-friendly option.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The EU plans to exempt private planes from jetfuel tax despite them emitting the most pollution per person. Government employees except for the president and a few key ones should be obliged to fly only commercial; this will also reduce corruption.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The EU is also now forcing manufacturers to use USB-C as their devices’ charging port. I doubt that this will help the environment in any way: some upgraders will now have to throw away existing chargers and buy new ones. This law is also an infringement on freedom that will raise production costs and stifle technological progress.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today’s financial system is a wasteful scam of pointless public companies, stocks, derivatives, and banks. It requires constant economic growth (which is impossible) and prints endless money to make prices go up forever. ESG ratings are not about corporate responsibility, but about woke greed. Taxes, inflation, and patents disincentivise innovation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;GDP shows not the true wealth of a nation, but its reliance on the external economy; absolute self-sufficiency has a GDP of zero. Two quarters of negative GDP growth does not imply recession.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s time to switch to hard, disinflationary currencies like Monero: their appreciating value incentivises buying only high-quality, long-lasting, and useful items. The world will become a cleaner and healthier place once the economy of single-use crap declines.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Electric energy&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Renewable energy is a nonsensical term. The sun may always be around, but solar panels and windmills need materials to be built. Moreover, solar and wind farms take up lots of land and destroy its landscape. The German Green Party invades forests to replace trees with windmills — clown world at its finest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rapidly changing energy production methods is wasteful in itself, as it requires manufacturing thousands of solar panels and windmills. Manufacturing &lt;i&gt;one&lt;/i&gt; EV battery requires digging up 226,000 kilograms of the earth’s crust for metal-processing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nuclear power is the most energy-dense fuel of all, is quite cheap, and saves lives by avoiding pollution that would have come from burning coal. Infinite nuclear energy means infinite fertiliser, food, productivity, and opportunity for an even larger population.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The cruel Klaus Schwab and his Young Global Leaders of course desire the opposite — energy scarcity — to amass more control and win the spiritual war. Energy independence is a national security priority; European nuclear power plants should be restarted as soon as it is safely possible to do so.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The chance of a nuclear-plant accident happening in peaceful times is yoctoscopic: today’s plants are built unlike Chernobyl. Should we strive to abolish hazards completely, we should start by dismantling all nuclear weapons.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hydro and geothermal are also good energy sources. Solar energy makes sense at the level of individual buildings — but installing panels should never be mandatory! Using rainwater as greywater in individual buildings makes sense too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mainstream soyentists call petrol “dinosaur sauce”. But I find the abiotic origin theory to make more sense: it says that petroleum is formed by magmatic &lt;b&gt;C&lt;/b&gt;arbon reäcting with &lt;b&gt;H&lt;/b&gt;ydrogen beneath the earth’s crust. If this is correct, the peak-oil narrative will be defenestrated and fuel prices will fall. Using petroleum for energy is fine if done without excessive pollution, fracking is okay if local communities support it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Biofuel is made of viable crops. Its low energy density is never worth the rise in food prices.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The city of Augsburg is switching off façade lighting on historic buildings and evaluating the shutdown of some traffic lights, while France is turning off street lights completely and limiting illuminated advertising at night. I support these initiatives: they will save taxpayer money and improve citizens’ eyesight &amp; circadian rhythms. I would even take them a step further by banning fluorescent lighting in government buildings and public spaces.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is sensible not to condition air in the summer and not to heat homes too much in the winter: large temperature differences between the indoors and outdoors are bad for health. But such restrictions should never be forced upon people (looking at you, Spain).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Plastic&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Plastic is a petroleum-derived industrial material that was never intended for day-to-day use and only became widespread because of corrupt scientists. Bisphenols, PBDEs, phthalates, microplastics, and other forever-chemicals are messing with our hormones and making us sick.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are meant to lightly live next to nature, and not in a densely-populated industrial wasteland. Avoiding “soakproof paper”, polyëster clothing, synthetic tyres, wood glues, chemical-laden fabric softeners, and all other plastics is much smarter than buying an EV “to save the planet”. I own only 20 things made with plastic — 20 too many.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The same governments that couldn’t stop screaming about the environment led an epidemic response that created loads of waste in masks, gloves, bags, tests, and vaccine vials. To this I say: governments must be banned from using plastic in non-critical situations. Fake grass should be banned completely.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Better ways to build things&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Environmentally-friendly objects are frugally designed with universality in mind, and thus cost little both to buy and to maintain. They don’t need constant cleaning &amp; lubrication, and instead resist erosion, self-heal, &amp; generally become better with age. They are easy to repair, often without special tools. They honor their material by avoiding dyes and embracing natural forms. Stapleless staplers are a brilliant item designed to avoid depleting resources.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I avoid buying whenever I can, and instead build, borrow, or rent. If buying is inevitable, used items are worth taking a look at: preowned classics are better than unproven novelties; old does not mean obsolete. I use everything that I own, even every corner of every sheet of paper!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Appropriate technology is smol-scale and not organisation-dependent. Mechanical devices such as counterweights, pedals, magnets, and simple machines are more reliable than electricity-consuming alternatives.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Speaking of electronics — buried components, omnipresent glue, and proprietary screws are a disgrace. Devices with interchangeable parts allow upgrading without replacing, either via hot-swap modularity or custom improvements such as retrofitting. Refinement culture has a certain charm to it. I like the concept of scavenger electronics: building tech with spare parts lying around. Openly available schematics allow more people to repair instead of discarding and replacing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The best packaging is as little packaging as possible. It is beautiful, reusable, and easy to open.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Localising production will reduce transport-related pollution, reliance on the failing global supply chains, as well as the impact of foreign crises. Countries should strive to have vast resources (including sovereign fishing waters), zero debt, and no need for imports. Exports are okay, but they should not be the economy’s backbone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recycling is a last resort, a sort of defeat in fact. Most unused things can be kept and turned into something else: old computer chips make for nifty fridge magnets. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dying in nature should not harm it. Compostable (not simply biodegradable) items are great as long as they do not self-destruct while in use.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Natural conservationism&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The term &lt;i&gt;conservative&lt;/i&gt; derives from the word &lt;i&gt;conserve&lt;/i&gt;. Real conservatives protect the environment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Good knowledge of biology and ecology is a superpower. Nature should be left alone when it does not threaten our infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As such, natural extinctions and wildfires exist to rejuvenate Earth. Stopping them from happening only creates imbalances.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Banning hunting endangered species makes each kill more profitable, bringing the animal even closer to extinction. If the ban is strictly enforced, people will find similar species to poach, creating more endangered species in the process.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Putting plants in solo pots makes them lonely, because they lose the possibility to exchange substances thru their roots.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Food&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eating an animal means killing that animal. But being vegan and vegetarian is still deadlier than being carnivore: birds are shot to protect crops, insects are pesticided to produce oat, moles and frogs are killed by plowing fields, habitats are destroyed by flattening rainforests to plant avocados, and thousands of other animals are massacred to operate soybean farms. It’s easy to cause collateral damage when one does not witness the impact that his decisions make. PETA — People for the &lt;i&gt;Ethical&lt;/i&gt; Treatment of Animals — &lt;s&gt;kill&lt;/s&gt; euthanise animals when running out of place to keep them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Being vegan and vegetarian is wasteful, too. A single glass of almond “milk” takes 61 litres of water to produce. Monocrop farming takes up lots of land and destroys its &lt;b&gt;N&lt;/b&gt;itrogen-rich topsoil. Mesopotamia, Ancient Greece, Ancient Egypt, the Roman Empire, and Imperial China all plowed their way to demise.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cows, on the other hand, are upcyclers who turn greens inedible by humans into our most bioavailable and nutritious food, while their poop regenerates the soil. They, along with other ruminants, have the organs to eliminate heavy metals, carcinogens, pesticides, glyphosates, and other poisons they’re exposed to. Pigs are recyclers who turn what we don’t eat into something we do. Humans can digest almost all animal parts; the few outliers can be used as quality material.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, animals don’t want to be eaten: they defend themselves by kicking, biting, or running away. But they know we will eat them anyway: their breeding habits and evolutionary development “priced in” many of them being hunted by us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Humans are not meant to digest large quantities of plants: phytochemicals inflame us when we try to. Plants also often contain pesticide and glyphosate residues. Veganism leads to infertility, disgusting skin, and weakness in joints. The best way to receive plant nutrients is thru other animals breaking them up for us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="e2-text-table"&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;b&gt;Animal&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stomach pH&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Herbivore&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;4...6&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Omnivore&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;3...4&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Carnivore&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;~2&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Human&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;1.5...2&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Humans are not meant to eat insects, either: we cannot digest chitin, a polysaccharide that they contain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Something that we have been eating forever cannot be the cause of new diseases. Hong Kongers eat the most meat per person and have the longest average lifespan. Indians eat the least meat per person, yet 20% have diabetes and 25% die of heart disease. Satiety, the precaution against overconsumption, is felt only when eating proper foods.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Animal-based is based. Meat was the driving force behind mankind’s brain development. Key nutrients such as vitamin B12 are not found in non-animal products. Our genome, cheekbone, and teeth were designed for meat, and not sweet soft foods; we ate only animal products for 2.5 million years before agriculture came about 15,000 years ago. Modern fruits, vegetables, and grains were created by people crossbreeding them:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="e2-text-picture"&gt;
&lt;img src="https://robertblinov.net/blog/pictures/crossbreeding.png" width="2536" height="1342" alt="" /&gt;
&lt;div class="e2-text-caption"&gt;Image by Kevin Stock&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The agricultural revolution led to nutritional deficiencies, followed by a rise in epidemics and dental disease. Even worse, it concentrated control over the food supply in the hands of a few. This statist non-producing elite then prohibited the lower classes from hunting and made them dependent on wheat &amp; rice, turning them into docile slaves. Greek royals died 5 to 7 centimetres taller than peasants.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;People in decentralised hunting-gathering tribes were happier, freër, better-looking, and healthier than those in states. Gyms exist today only because we abandoned their lifestyle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am noticing a similar “revolution” today: governments and corporations are creating supply shortages to influence what we eat. Northern Ireland aims to reduce its population of sheep and cattle by one million for “climate targets”. Governments of the Netherlands, US, and UK are paying farmers to shut their businesses down. Canada and the Netherlands want to mandate reduced fertiliser usage — something that recently led to Sri Lanka’s collapse. The Chinese government warns about the US military weaponising and dispatching “super-insects” to cause deliberate famines in rival countries. The mainstream media is talking about bird flu, which happens to be detected by the infamously erroneous PCR tests. Oxford University and Imperial College London promote phasing out eating beef and lamb because cLiMaTe cHaNgE.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eating synthetic meat is far worse than eating vegetables. Fake meat is a subversion of reality, a lie. It is unnatural in the original sense of the word: &lt;i&gt;against nature’s intent&lt;/i&gt; (for us to eat actual meat). And, of course, its ingredients are no good either: Beyond Burgers contain the machine lubricant canola oil. Lab-grown “milk” is anti-natural at its finest. Genetic engineering can cause unexpected mutations in an organism, which can elevate food toxicity. Do not let the bugmen fool you: no lab will ever produce anything as healthy as a cow can.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Countries should follow France’s lead and ban calling vegetarian products &lt;i&gt;sausages&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;steaks&lt;/i&gt;, going even further to establish legal definitions of the terms &lt;i&gt;food&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;water&lt;/i&gt;, and &lt;i&gt;milk&lt;/i&gt;. Restaurant menus with ingredient lists should be required to mention all ingredients. The rights to grow, raise, process, barter, trade, sell, and choose food without government interference should be enshrined in the constitution. Food security is national security.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regenerative farming is the way to go: it means animals not having constant access to the entire pasture, and instead grazing in a managed way — having adaptive access to smoller paddocks. It leads to healthier animals, more microbial diversity, fewer parasites, increased rainfall absorption, and a better wildlife habitat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;True prepping is more than stockpiling: it means owning an untaxable and unseizable ranch homestead with many animals and a nearby water source.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is nothing wrong with fast food if it is quality food. It takes less than fifteen minutes to cook a delicious steak.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="loud"&gt;“Climate change” is no crisis. Tyranny and propaganda is.&lt;/p&gt;

<description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://robertblinov.net/blog/"&gt;Robert&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s about to be 2022. Whatever. We should not change our actions just because of an arbitrary new beginning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The changing of years is, however, a great time to look back and reflect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://robertblinov.net/blog/all/2021/"&gt;I did not expect&lt;/a&gt; freedoms to erode so much in 2021.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In January 2021, Big Tech &lt;a href="https://robertblinov.net/blog/all/tech-companies-ban-trump-and-co/"&gt;deplatformed&lt;/a&gt; the sitting President of the United States. In December 2021, it is deplatforming anyone who questions the mainstream narrative on the China Virus and &lt;a href="https://robertblinov.net/blog/all/covid-vaccines/"&gt;injection safety&lt;/a&gt;, including &lt;a href="https://infowars.com/posts/robert-malone-inventor-of-mrna-vaccine-tech-banned-by-twitter-for-exposing-risks-of-covid-19-vaccines/"&gt;an inventor of mRNA technology&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Italian state of emergency has been extended three times just in 2021, with it now being prolonged until April 2022. This is madness since there is no emergency, while the disease &lt;a href="https://vladimirzelenkomd.com/treatment-protocol/"&gt;is very much treatable&lt;/a&gt;. If a government gains extra powers during a state of emergency, it will extend the state of emergency indefinitely.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To enter Italy, a regular Italian citizen like me needs to take a Covid test, fill a form, call the local health service, spend ten days in quarantine and take another Covid test. To enter a museum, one needs to also wear a mask and have a &lt;a href="https://robertblinov.net/blog/all/1984-green-passes/"&gt;Soylent Green pass&lt;/a&gt;. Wealthy non-citizens like Elon Musk are exempt from this tyrannical palaver.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Within just a year, the democratic Italian Republic became less free than the authoritarian state of Russia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Analysing this nonsense led me to an awakening, the Great Awakening:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://robertblinov.net/blog/all/1984-technology/"&gt;Apple is horrible for privacy&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://spectator.org/fauci-killing-dogs/"&gt;puppy-murderer&lt;/a&gt; Fauci &lt;a href="https://odysee.com/@johnstossel:7/paul-vs-fauci:c"&gt;funded the Wuhan lab&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://iteroni.com/watch?v=puqaaeLnEww"&gt;warned about the plandemic back in 2017&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://fee.org/articles/physicians-say-hospitals-are-pressuring-er-docs-to-list-covid-19-on-death-certificates-here-s-why/"&gt;hospitals have been incentivised to kill people&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3043740/"&gt;ivermectin is a miracle drug&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://iteroni.com/watch?v=rQmqVVmMB3k"&gt;vegetable oil is poison&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://banned.video/watch?id=616e27a3e8c9e3044dea98b7"&gt;raw eggs are wonderful&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;sleeping on the floor is healthier,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://banned.video/watch?id=6182943ec1526b2b32741040"&gt;just a few investment firms engaged in &lt;i&gt;crony&lt;/i&gt; capitalism own most of the world’s companies and want to reset society to become almighty&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://banned.video/watch?id=61ca830dd7f5f63c315cdc14"&gt;blood-sucking pedophiles in positions of power want to end humanity under the pretext of environmentalism just because they worship satan&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many people who fell for the mainstream lies are subject to Stockholm syndrome and some even to schadenfreude — pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. It’s a hard to shred a narrative when lots of time, money, thoughts, and emotions have been invested into it. I’ll be honest — I fell for the lies myself and only really woke up in July 2021. It’s normal to make mistakes — don’t let them define you. Acknowledge the reality, think critically, and constantly question yourself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Two years ago I would have migrated to a country which has solved most of the problems present in my current one, &lt;a href="https://robertblinov.net/blog/all/im-happy-when-others-reify-an-idea-of-mine/"&gt;to save time&lt;/a&gt;. But changing jurisdictions is no longer viable, as all countries are more or less unfree. Those that are still considered somewhat free today will find it easy to become part of the ever-growing unfree club. Try to remain in your country and do everything to save it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We must do whatever it takes to regain our freedoms. Not only those lost in the last two years, but those lost in the last hundred. The evil masterminds must be arrested in droves — hate them at least as much as they hate you. Until that happens, do not comply with doltish rules and do not finance the turncoats.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Prepare for the worst possible scenarios, whether it’s a market crash, cryptocurrency ban, the invasion of Taiwan, a nuclear or neutron explosion, autonomous drone insects, a fake alien invasion, or something completely unimaginable. It’s a fun activity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="loud"&gt;The charming rays of our happy smiles will lead us to victory. Have a happy and successful new year!&lt;/p&gt;

<link>https://robertblinov.net/blog/all/covid-vaccines/</link>
<pubDate>Fri, 29 Oct 2021 15:39:50 +0500</pubDate>

<comments>https://robertblinov.net/blog/all/covid-vaccines/</comments>
<description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://robertblinov.net/blog/"&gt;Robert&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vaccines are supposed to give a person immunity without causing illness. Any serious side-effects experienced at a large level make them pointless: the cure must never be worse than the disease. As of October 25, 2021, Taiwan has had 847 Covid deaths, but &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="https://medicaltrend.org/2021/10/10/taiwan-death-from-covid-19-vaccination-exceeds-death-from-covid-19/"&gt;more than 865&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; vaccine deaths.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, and Johnson &amp; Johnson are not your friends. In 2009, Pfizer paid &lt;a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao/ma/news/Pfizer/Pfizer%20-%20PR%20(Final).pdf"&gt;the second largest healthcare fraud settlement in history&lt;/a&gt;, amounting at $2.3 billion, while Johnson &amp; Johnson &lt;a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/johnson-johnson-pay-more-22-billion-resolve-criminal-and-civil-investigations"&gt;the third largest&lt;/a&gt; at $2.2 billion in 2013. AstraZeneca &lt;a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/2010/April/10-civ-487.html"&gt;paid $520 million&lt;/a&gt; in a similar case. All of these companies were indicted for making kickbacks to advance their interests.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The following slide appeared for a split-second at a US Food and Drug Administration conference in October 2020:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="e2-text-picture"&gt;
&lt;img src="https://robertblinov.net/blog/pictures/vax-side-effects.png" width="1024" height="574" alt="" /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let’s analyse a few of these side-effects.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Myocarditis.&lt;/b&gt; The UK’s Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation &lt;a href="https://gov.uk/government/publications/jcvi-statement-september-2021-covid-19-vaccination-of-children-aged-12-to-15-years/jcvi-statement-on-covid-19-vaccination-of-children-aged-12-to-15-years-3-september-2021"&gt;has said&lt;/a&gt; that for a million double-vaccinated among those aged 12 to 15, there will be 15 to 51 myocarditis incidences, but &lt;i&gt;only 2.54&lt;/i&gt; fewer admissions to intensive care units. While an admission to the ICU is not a death, there is no such thing as light myocarditis — more than 50% of patients &lt;a href="https://ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.1161/circulationaha.105.584532"&gt;die within 5 years&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Given these statistics, I am disgusted by the FDA’s Eric Rubin declaring that the safety of the vaccine for 5–11 year olds (!) will be determined only once it is given to them:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="e2-text-video"&gt;
&lt;video src="https://robertblinov.net/blog/video/eric-rubin.mp4#t=0.001" width="1280" height="720" controls alt="" /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Autoimmune disease.&lt;/b&gt; As crazy as it sounds, the AstraZeneca vaccine appears to &lt;i&gt;weaken&lt;/i&gt; the natural immune response to Covid after just 4 months unless a booster is taken (see page 10 of &lt;a href="https://robertblinov.net/misc/covid/sweden-study.pdf"&gt;a study conducted in Sweden&lt;/a&gt;). Vaccine surveillance reports by Public Health England also state that immune systems &lt;a href="https://banned.video/watch?id=61703cfd6978e80911d833df"&gt;are weakened by Covid vaccines&lt;/a&gt; in the long run. This means that endless boosters will be necessary not only to fight off Covid, but &lt;i&gt;to simply live&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know a person who felt better than ever after receiving his Pfizer shot. I also saw a person collapse within quibis of vaccination. Using the same dosage for different body types may not be a smart idea.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As for the Russian Sputnik-V, it does not seem to be very effective against Delta. I personally know more people who caught Covid with Sputnik-V than those without it. This includes one person who was admitted to an ICU and nearly died with Covid just two months after his jab. The EpiVacCorona vaccine &lt;a href="https://themoscowtimes.com/2021/03/26/russias-second-coronavirus-vaccine-triggers-antibodies-studies-say-after-controversy-a73372"&gt;is a scam&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Antibody-dependent enhancement.&lt;/b&gt; The monkey-virus-coronavirus stew that causes Covid does not give up easily, unlike smallpox. When fighting off antibodies, it often mutates into a more potent version of itself. The super-cold currently being witnessed in the UK is likely caused by antibody-dependent enhancement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Covid deaths among the vaccinated should be considered vaccine deaths, as the vaccine did not do what it was supposed to. Severe post-vaccination adverse events are at record highs &lt;a href="https://t.me/disclosetv/4645"&gt;in the EU&lt;/a&gt; and in the USA.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The third phase of clinical trials for most vaccines won’t be over until late 2022. Anyone who takes a Covid vaccine today is participating in this third phase. Vaccine mandates and restrictions on the unvaccinated are unethical.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Governments often put optics above right decisions: appearing to be doing the right thing is more important to them than actually doing the right thing. The sunk-cost fallacy comes to mind here: declaring the vaccines faulty would end many bureaucrats’ careers, while locking down in 2021 is pure madness. As a result, for the first time ever, a medicine’s inefficacy is blamed on those who haven’t taken it, and a booster shot is now necessary to be considered fully vaccinated. This is because the original declarations of efficacy were completely wrong:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="e2-text-video"&gt;
&lt;video src="https://robertblinov.net/blog/video/efficacy.mp4#t=0.001" width="1280" height="720" controls alt="" /&gt;

&lt;div class="e2-text-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://iteroni.com/watch?v=TSZMtSPX3iE"&gt;Fraudci in the Hall of the Mountain King&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Governments might also be pushing mandates in return for certain officials receiving big bribes — don’t forget about the decade-old kickback settlements. In such a situation, pharma companies are incentivised not to end their failed experiment, but to make as much money as possible. The government is paying for the vaccines today, but I doubt it will continue to if infinite boosters become “necessary”. People &lt;a href="https://robertblinov.net/blog/all/1984-green-passes/"&gt;must oppose vaccine passports&lt;/a&gt; to avoid their liberties being contingent on paying for a dangerous pharmaceutical product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Quoting George Orwell, the war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Big Pharma and governments are incentivised to have a never-ending, continuously shifting existential health crisis in order to amass wealth and expand emergency powers. Sadly, the price politicians and pharmaceutical executives pay for deception is far lower than their profits.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Contracts with pharmaceutical companies, &lt;a href="https://www.citizen.org/article/pfizers-power"&gt;such as the ones with Pfizer&lt;/a&gt;, state that the companies are not responsible for the consequences of vaccination. Here’s an excerpt from &lt;a href="https://robertblinov.net/misc/covid/albania-contract.pdf"&gt;the Albanian one&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Pfizer, BioNTech, each of their Affiliates ‹...› against any and all suits, claims, actions, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, settlements, penalties, fines, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and other expenses of an investigation or litigation), whether sounding in contract, tort, intellectual property, or any other theory, and whether legal, statutory, equitable or otherwise arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the Vaccine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To find out how safe the vaccine is, ask for life insurance before taking it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What I’ve written is suppressed on Big Tech platforms and never talked about by mainstream media because they are all controlled &lt;a href="https://iteroni.com/watch?v=UNg3Vnfu4Pk"&gt;by the same people&lt;/a&gt; who control Big Pharma — the investment firms Vanguard and BlackRock. In yet another conflict of interest, ex-FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb is now a member of Pfizer’s board of directors. Exiting the filter bubble is essential to know the truth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When those perceived as opposition start agreeing with a premise that one’s logical reasoning fails to reach, one begins to doubt his own sanity and usually gives in. This was demonstrated by Solomon Asch’s conformity experiment:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="e2-text-video"&gt;
&lt;video src="https://robertblinov.net/blog/video/asch.mp4#t=0.001" width="320" height="240" controls alt="" /&gt;

&lt;div class="e2-text-caption"&gt;&lt;a href="http://iteroni.com/watch?v=TYIh4MkcfJA"&gt;Asch conformity experiment&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When a mindless crowd of non-player characters repeating the same thing aren’t enough to uphold the narrative, the evil mastermind brings in crisis actors and creates controlled opposition. Fox News criticises Xiden and wokeness, but will never talk about the results of the Arizona audits. (Its parent company NewsCorp is partially owned by Vanguard.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Covid vaccines were given emergency use authorisation, which is legal only when there are no other cures. But there is &lt;a href="https://vladimirzelenkomd.com/treatment-protocol/"&gt;a Zinc-based treatment protocol&lt;/a&gt; that prevents the viral stew from replicating and kills it within 48 hours. In my personal experience, it worked exactly as promised.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don’t allow others to make decisions about your body. It’s a dangerous precedent that bring us closer to forced kidney donations, abortions, and other experiments on our bodies “for the benefit of society”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Deeply think for yourself before making any life- and body-altering decision. The erosion of freedom occurs only because we consent to it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Why do Chinese copycats trying to pretend they have the real thing always fail so badly? Why do they make it so obvious that what they’re selling is fake despite pretending it’s genuine? To make sure their friends don’t get scammed?&lt;/p&gt;
