The Last 8 Books I read on Famine

10 October 2022
London, England
Mind Burst, Sans Edit

Famines that happen to illiterate people get less attention. Presumably because they are illiterate. Entire civilizations arrive and vanish leaving no more trace than a grasshopper. If only trees were big enough to catch people in sap we could have more idea how our ancestors dressed, or did not dress, and what was left in their stomachs.

Most famines, pandemics, and wars, leave no more evidence than an average wave crashing on an average beach in some far off place in space, and time.

A relative handful are written. We write far more about war than about pandemic and famine. Perhaps because there is glory to be had in war while glory in pandemic might — just might — be shared by a single courageous researcher such as John Snow.

In war, there is Glory. Medals. Parades. Statues. National Anthems. But we never hear about Yellow Fever in the American national anthem. Though Yellow Fever and its siblings shaped America as much as any war, by far. I could mount a sound argument that Yellow Fever shaped current America more than any specific war including the Revolutionary War, Civil War, or both World Wars.

I could easily mount that argument and might just pass the cross-examination of serious historians. The argument being that Yellow Fever alone — no mention of small pox, cholera, and on — was as important to the current American condition as any war. Maybe, maybe not, but the argument would be sound and it would withstand much abuse and pokes and prods and I guarantee people would come through that trial realizing how important Pandemic, such as Yellow Fever, has been in shaping the entire world.

—my apology for not editing any of this…i must rush to write this due to some incoming calls—-

Likewise with famine. I’ve read hundreds of books on war. About 60 on pandemic, 20 on famine. Despite that famine and pandemic are easily as important in human affairs as war, and in fact these three things cannot be separated. The Bible itself makes that clear. So this is not some new discovery. This is old wisdom. There is a reason these old Holy books last so long and its not due to leathery covers.

Interestingly, the thing that led me back to paying close attention to the Bible is due to reading so much other work. And then realizing someone wrote down the essence far more poetically, more succinctly, so long ago, in another language. The Four Horsemen.

I can go on for hours trying to explain the essence of things that were written in mere sentences so long ago. I read 80 books on pandemic and famine, hundreds on war, to basically come to the same conclusions our elders wrote down.

How did I know in January 2020 we were in grave danger of severe famine? And I started yelling daily since then? Was it from reading all these books and running off to wars and troubles all over? Not really. It came from just understanding the simple truth of the Four Horsemen

That said, you can gain a tremendous amount of knowledge that will be helpful in the coming decade by reading just five books on famine. These are the last eight I read. I include WHEN MONEY DIES because this book on economics, or whatever it was really about, doubles as an excellent book on famine. There are a lot of lesson from WHEN MONEY DIES. All of these lessons contain tons of lessons, and you will see a lot of surprises that will become extremely helpful in 2023/24, and more.

READ UP…and get your network reading and discussing lessons.

I got to hit these calls. I was just pulling these titles together because Steve Bannon asked a few hours ago but I got sidetracked. Better send to Steve and hit the calls.

Study to win.

MAGA "Make Another Globalist Avatar"

Maybe the “lunatic” was a former Trump supporter who lost a child to Trump’s money-jab. I do not know. Do you? What’s his name?

Millions of us warned Trump to back off the death jab. He told us in Trump-speak to go to hell.

Trump, Harris, Biden, Obama, Clinton, RFK, Carter, Woodrow Wilson, all globalist avatars. All traitors. Heavy in Democrat-roots.

Kissing the Poison Toad

You are at war. Information war and psyop are the highest forms of warfare.

In 2007, President Bush invited the top military bloggers to a meal. I quietly refused. In the politest of ways. It was noticed.

During the 2007 fighting, my readership and war influence was greater than the next ten combined. Because I lived in Combat. They lived at home. The analysis differential spoke on behalf of going there and doing that. There simply was no comparison. A platoon of skateboards versus a single F1.

During their 2007 meeting, I was back in Iraq in combat. The period of heaviest US casualties of the war. My work did not benefit from the analysis of state-at-home bloggers.

Washington Post and others noticed, and a few mentioned the oddness of my absence. —-

The main cheese of recruitment are MICE = Money, Ideology, Coercion, Ego. Most bloggers easily fall for E. Ego.

Those who sat with the President were never trusted again. Not be me, anyway. Active mistrust was planted. They E-cheesers openly reprinted ...

Announcers more interested in the feelings of the losers and winners than they are in analysis.

It is the catcher’s responsibility to make sure the infielders know where to throw the ball if it is hit to them, especially in this two out situation when the decision means play another game or sit on your hands until spring training 2026.

For anyone who believes the super hyped up story that some scruffy kid from Florida did this, I will nominate you for the When Will You Ever Learn Prize.

At least there is comic relief. They named him Jonathan Rinderknecht.

Cooties Kill
Beware of Lice — the Government, and Typhus

29 March 2023
Yonezawa, Japan
Mind Dump, sans edit

This is important.  I am in a rush to meetings so this is sans edit:

I am in Yonezawa.  Scene of great historical famine.  I have come  by bullet train to study famine and a man named Yozan Uesugi.  Yozan was adept at spotting famine in advance and getting his people through famine.  

This morning, I write from a small Japanese cafe.  On breakfast menu is akadewa "tea".  A bean tea that I am drinking.  This tea was used during the great Tenmei Famine.  Encouraged by Yozan Uesugi.  Yozan.  The people still drink the tea and have many other "famine food" items on local menus. 

Now in 2023, conditions for global famine are growing.  Japan is at great risk.  

Some things always go with Famine.  War, Pandemic, and HOP.  

HOP is the Human Osmotic Pressure of migration.  The tidal push and pull of humanity.  

In famine, most people die not from starvation but from disease.  Diseaes such as Famine Fevers.  One of the most serious famine fevers is Typhus.  Not to be confused with Typhoid.  Typhus and typhoid are entirely different.  Even medical professionals mix the names.

Each morning years I receive daily typhus media updates from Google Net Alerts.  Below is my actual Net Alert from yesterday:



I track Epidemic Typhus because Epidemic Typhus travels with war and famine.  Not to be confused with scrub typhus or murine typhus.  I do not pay attention to murine or scrub typhus.  I pay full attention to epidemic typhus.  Epidemic typhus is spread by head lice and by body lice.  

Epidemic typhus is a no-kidding super-killer when it hits critical mass.  Or, as Dr. Chris Martenson might say, "case case case, cluster cluster BOOM!"  During the last century we seldom see a BOOM of epidemic typhus because.  We see many cases such as in American homeless camps.  And some clusters.  But not many BOOMs at this time.

This is why:

1) Thanks to smart people, we now know lice spread epidemic typhus.  So fight the lice.  Thus Army/ Marines -- short hair.  (Coincidentally, ivermectin is used against lice).

2) Typhus is caused by bacteria that is effectively fought back with antibiotics.  Unfortunately, this is 2023.  Supply chains are breaking down.  And those antibiotics come from drug companies.  Drug companies are openly killing people

These are the two most recent books I read on typhus.  One is from 1868 and might be considered outdated, but it's not.  There is much to learn from old books such as how we still behave in the face of the unknown while we fumble around searching for answers.  We bump into things a lot.  


In famine, most people do not starve to death.  We tend to die from disease long before we burn our final calorie.  

A main culprit of famine death is Epidemic Typhus.  Epidemic Typhus occurs in cold, hot, wet, dry.  Doesn't matter.  The lice live on us.  And they mate like crazy and spread madly.  

Epidemic Typhus is one of the famous Famine Fevers.  Relapsing fever is another.  

Famine Fevers onset usually some months after famine sets in.  

At issue with Epidemic Typhus is that it does not need famine to spread.  Famine only creates conditions for lice to spread.  

Epidemic Typhus has many names such as War Fever, Famine Fever, Ship Fever, Naval Fever, Camp Fever, and Hospital Fever.  This might provide a clue as to how it spreads.

This typhus is found in homeless camps in places like California.  It's there right now.  But is down to the case-case cluster-cluster level only because society has not broken down at this time.  There is nothing on earth stopping another vast outbreak of epidemic typhus -- other than lice control, and antibiotics whose supply, quality, and efficacy, are in question.

This bacteria is endemic to large swathes of earth such as in Texas and can spread as quickly as airplanes fly with body and head lice.

Cooties is an old term for lice.  And so the cooties game we learned to play was survival training.  For most modern children, cooties is just a game.  But in upcoming years those homeless camps and millions of hungry "migrants" will not be a game.  Epidemic Typhus can kill millions.  

The Dutch hate typhus on a deep cultural level.  Dutch even use diseases for curse words.  A Dutch person might say "optyfussen!"  Typhus off!  (If you look up optyfussen online, notice how often typhus is confused with typhoid.)  

Typhus is so under control today that most doctors I have mentioned it know very little about typhus.  I only pay attention because I study war -- and famine goes with war like smoke with fire.  And typhus goes with famine and war...like smoke with fire.

I sense we are heading into a period during which typhus will make a comeback and will kill massive numbers of people.  But people who study typhus even for a couple hours will have a serious advantage.  Beware the Cooties!  

Epidemic Typhus is like a giant mindfield.  But this mindfield is also marked by signs.  Read the signs.  Walk around the mindfield like it does not exist.

Even leftist media admit the homeless camps are typhus camps:


Curiouser and curiouser -- this website below identifies itself as the American Academy of Pediatrics and now recommends not sending home from school children with lice.  Are they going Medieval in creating more Epidemic Typhus?  
I do not find this surprising.  Not surprising because my paradigm is that WEF/CCP are intentionally depopulating most of the world population.  At times when you find yourself astonished, this can be a sign that it's time to reexamine your paradigm.  Surprise is an indicator that a paradigm needs adjustment or even to be thrown out.  Or at least to be recalculated.  By this time, it should be clear that democide is unfolding globally.

The same website promoting lice breeding by leaving cooties-ridden children in school, also promotes death jabs for infants and children: 

 

 
  




In closing, I have some research appointments on famine here in Japan.  This mind-dump sans-edit was sparked by a Texas friend who happens to be in Charlotte, North Carolina.  She remembers our conversation in Texas about lice and typhus.  She messaged this photo today from North Carolina -- which really got me going.  And she found this website:  https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/hair-fairies-opens-newest-location-in-charlotte-300500636.html

In closing....this research is very expensive.  Please support!

Am not out shamelessly raising millions at the big, drunk dance parties.  Seems like every political event I witness, such as Project Veritas in Miamia, or whatever, ends up being big drunken party.  I do not drink, smoke, or any of that.  I only work, and alert about big things in non-flashy ways fueld by tiny funding.  Others raise millions at the drunken bashes and end up in trailor-park fights, or in highly suspicious circumstance and scandal.  I am just a simple war correspondent and researcher.

Thank you for all support -- there are many methods at these two links:
