  1. From a local level here in Massachusetts the death toll is ramping up. This month the BCH transport team picked up FIVE pediatric cardiac arrests in ONE day. That’s a record for even a cardiac ICU doctor. They all had three things in common: unremarkable past medical history, cardiac arrest, and the bioweapon. Of course, none of it is reported. Just from what I’m seeing on the ground, I would say the under reporting factor of 41 is reasonable.

  2. 45:20) Jonathan Weil article re: stablecoins: “Lending their own coins to customers” – How’s that any different from FTX?

  3. 42:20) Catherine, what was it about “the change in their settlement position” wanting to settle your case in 2006 that tipped you off that they were planning to “pull the plug on the housing bubble?”

    1. I would have had a much stronger case after the market tanked. So it would be worth much more and the corporate media might get interested and then blow it up. At which point it was worth many millions.

  4. 37:31) “small range fire power” took out power substations in NC: This will lead to a precedent as elites are predicting 5G towers will be taken out (as has already happened). What the precedent will look like, we will have to wait and see.

  5. 33:33) SPACS – What does de-SPACing mean? I notice companies recently taking this turn.

  6. 21:25) Sam Bankman-Fried (“Freed”) may truly not know how the money was transferred or when because he is simply a front man. FTX is way too big for this kid. It’s way over his head. It’s likely his parents were more deeply involved than media is telling us and “signed off” in Sam’s stead. He was arrested to keep him from testifying (because it would be found out that he doesn’t know anything) and now his lawyers are putting in a 2nd request for bail now that the coast is all clear. It’ll be interesting to see if bail is granted.

  7. 14:13) “free flow of ideas” to “fight a war in Ukraine:” John smartly points out Russia has not declared war. I’m wondering if the elites are clearing out Ukraine to take it over and planning to rebuild it while taking control of the “food basket” both to provide for their own purposes. Putin and Zelensky are dancing the same dance. It’s unlikely Ukraine will be destroyed.

    1. Catherine, (1) 3:19) Great chart! It’s interesting that you mention Raytheon is the weather warfare company. Good to know! (2) 10:30) Which Ukraine 2030 video were you referring to with John? I expect it will explain what elites are planning for Ukraine.

  8. John Titus: Please watch WAG THE DOG over the holidays. It is a MUST SEE! And keep in mind it came out in 1997!!!!!! You could say it’s the “HOUSE OF CARDS” for media. And it’s brilliant!

  10. 1) Meme with the dorky “luckiest man in the world” guy who just won the lottery and his new Vegas showgirl girlfriend: prototype for Sam Bankman Fried.

    2) Janet Yellen “We [the Fed] have no @#$÷©% idea what we’re doing!”

    3) Massa Trocity be de boss man. We does what he say.

    4) As JT also implies, I maintain little expectation that serving military will not get mRNA by hook or crook, via other “healthcare” or blood transfusion. It is the lynchpin of this phase of human control.

    5) In a similar fashion, your mutual fund will be unable to shield itself from cryptocurrency whether directly or through securities who have it.

    Cheers!

  11. I have a comment about the Japanese clip that you played. I lived in Japan so I have some insight into what is happening and their attitude towards vaccines. So to put it into context -Many years ago the Japanese had a vaccine not made in Japan given to their citizens and it caused meningitis in their children many children. Because of this the government of Japan was sued by citizens. This changed everything as far as vaccines go in Japan. The Japanese are very particular about which vaccines they give their children and they do not give them on the same schedule as we do in the US and also they do not like giving any vaccines that are not made in Japan or scrutinized and tested in Japan first before giving them to their citizens. They have learned their lesson and that is why the man was so upset because he was scolding the government and the people saying did we not learn our lesson that vaccines are not made in Japan and not tested thoroughly by our own country and should not be given to our citizens. So look it up meningitis in Japan and how the government had to pay money and many children were harmed and some died. Carolyn

  13. BRAVO to the Japanese public health specialist. smiling now. how can I get a link to that clip?

  16. Catherine is right in thinking that the territory of Ukraine is being emptied of Ukrainians. In the middle of the war, the Ukrainian government has the time to conduct “economic reforms” and is selling agricultural land, which is the best in Europe, to foreign investors.

    2. For what it’s worth, I openly opposed the Ukraine fraud from long before the hot war started, for the VERY REASON that it was CITIZENS who would suffer, not the actors who portray heroes in the conflict. I am part Ukrainian by heritage but I do not “Stand with Ukraine” like all the fools who jumped on the bandwagon. It’s my cousins who would be killed and driven away from this true cradle of civilization.

    3. Well, if they are selling this land to foreign investors it will be interesting to see what they do when Ukraine is fully occupied by the Russian army, which is a scenario that, especially since Merkel’s gloat that she never had any intention to support Minsk, is increasingly likely, as Russia now considers the West as impossible to trust.

      1. Well, lets see. I assume the people who intend to create a new Ukraine have a deal with Putin as to where the Russian lines will shift – and did so before this started. If I were the Russians, I would not want responsibility for the entire Ukraine which has a very low per capita and now will require significant investment.

        1. Yes, that seemed very plausible to me up to about a month ago, why would Russia want to deal with the cost of reconstruction and the difficulty of maintaining governance over a likely hostile population or segment thereof? However, while recognizing that all of this is based on pure speculation on not enough information, a partial incorporation of the territory of Ukraine would require that some kind of buffer zone negotiation would be needed to guarantee Russia’s security…say between the new border of Russia on the Dnieper and possibly including Odesa and what is now Western and parts of central Ukraine… and whatever is left of new Ukraine. The “rump state” scenario. But if the Russians have lost complete faith in the sincerity of the West in any negotiation, why would they trust that this buffer zone would be maintained, and why would they want to leave any part of Ukraine able to reconstitute their ultra-nationalist agenda? Which is a polite way of saying that killing ALL of the soldiers and members of the power structure there, destroying all of their military equipment might appear a better goal. But who knows, so many factors involved!

  17. To add to my prior comment, I just tried to pay another utility bill by dialing the ‘Pay by Phone’ number on the bill. It goes through the account information, tells me they service charges a fee and then says Press 3 to use the service. I press 3 and it loops to the main number that asks if I have an emergency, pay a bill, etc. but reminds me that I can do lots of simple things online. I select pay a bill and It loops back to where I started. I thought I did something wrong so I go through the entire process again, only to be looped back to the main number who then tells me to connect to where I started! Is this deliberate incompetence to force people online?

    2. Why did it take five months for the IRS to process my tax return filed in paper form? Why self-checkout machines in my grocery store do not issue cash anymore, as they used to do? Have they received the same memo?

  18. Another mechanism they’re using to force people onto their digital platforms.
    I just tried to pay a bill by phone, as I’ve done in past. A message said. “Due to an ongoing 3rd party issue with their payment service they can’t take payment. While we expect this service to be restored soon, it may take several weeks. In order to avoid late payments you can make your payment online.”
    All of this is supposed to be convenient but by the time I finish one call I could have written 5 checks and balanced my checkbook at the same time.
    To pay, I had to go online and use a credit card because I forgot my password and to use Bank, one had to login and create an account…?

    2. Writing a check or a money order to pay a bill is my way to send the same kind of message as “paying cash” as often as possible. I think it’s really important to do what we can, in large of numbers as we can, to avoid the trap which is:
      CONVENIENCE = SLAVERY!

      1. Definitely! However, in July I had thousands of $$ of checks stolen from a USPS blue box. The crime has been rampant all over the US but a huge percentage, I recall over 80%, happened in the Philadelphia area. Personally, I think it’s the USPS in cahoots with the Banks. I had 2 separate mailings stolen. They call it check washing. All the checks were then deposited to accounts via cellphone apps. Ironically, all of the thieves deposited to Bank of America. They desperately want to get rid of USPS / snail mail. My Bank told me to stop using mail and use digital, like online or pay by phone. My response was, “Why?! This whole crime was digital! If they had to walk up to a Teller this never would have happened!” They didn’t know what to say so they blamed it in the USPS. One would think with all the surveillance they’d have captured the crimes on video. So, I’ve been using the phone and hand delivering checks. It’s all very inconvenient.

        1. One thing I’ve done and you might consider depending on cash flow is to prepay bills and run a positive balance. If cash ever disappears overnight, or we have a bank freeze or bail-in etc. it would be nice to not have to worry about having to figure out what to do at a moment’s notice. The electric company and phone bill are both OK with having a positive balance. Also can reduce the number of checks you have to write.

          1. That’s a good idea. Usually the recommendation is to hold on to your money, but in this climate, that’s a really good idea. Thanks.

  19. Catherine, I’ve noticed you have recently started mentioning “training” when you talk of gun ownership. Really good move! Some people just go out and buy a gun thinking “it” will protect them. Responsible gun ownership includes training with your gun and everything that goes along with it (including securing it from kids). People should look for a shooting range, indoor or outdoor. I’ve seen families bond over the shooting sports. It accommodates all ages. I’m just a fellow shooter who has benefited from ranges and shooting clubs, including A Girl And A Gun. Grandma-age shooter now 🙂

    1. Yes, training is so much of what makes gun ownership work. Have to prepare, including think through and understand how to handle a situation.

  20. As usual, great discussion between you and John.

    I do not believe the official narrative about the substations either. I worked in Energy sector for years. My theory is that the lockdowns were about installing “infrastructures,” including, not only international crime syndicates to takeover the Hospital infrastructure, but also to install massive telecomm and energy substations. I was an essential worker and commuted between NW Phila / MontCo and Central/Northern NJ and saw the Police and Fire ‘protecting’ the Utility workers. This occurred all over the I-95, 276, and 202 corridor as well as Monmouth County corridor.

    During 9/11, when I worked in Energy sector I was on a ‘special project’ industrial park near PHL. It was gated but they left gates wide open. While the TSA was frisking innocent civilians the cargo trains going up and down the Northeastern corridor were completely unsecured snd unprotected. Keep in mind Boeing is located near there as well as other manufacturers. It was amazing to me that not a single person was concerned about the security of the trains.
    One night I was leaving and a white pickup truck filled with men came charging towards me. I ran back in to get Management. Turned out they were Canadians looking for work. Not a security person in sight on the premises but thousands of them in one place a few miles away. It’s all theater. What an easy target to bypass, right?

    Ripple is definitely the Banks infrastructure for CBDCs. It’s not really a coin as much as a platform/infrastructure.

    Any time I see Rockefeller Foundation, B&M Gates, and Johns Hopkins I know it’s a crime spree. They need to be held accountable. The cleverness is so incredibly sinister. I hope it fails.

  21. Looking forward to your concept of the three biggest stories of the year. Perhaps you could get subscriber input by putting out a poll of the ten biggest stories. This could be like the movie scores from critics versus audience ratings. The reason I suggest this is I would vote #1 for the current release of the unredacted twitter files as my top story of the year.

  22. I love the theme “Fairytell Inflation” and the overall show was upbeat in your voices. The stories are out of this world.

    My Fairy story line would start with : George Soros cannot fund any more NGOs because…. I really do not care why just PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!

    Thanks for the snowflakes in the background also makes me feel like Christmas even though I live in TX and will not see snowflakes ;-0

    Merry Christmas to All!

    Melissa

    1. Thanks, Sarah. The color experts always tell me I should wear bright colors: Red, hot pink, royal blue. But I am investment banker so I always want colors that do not grab attention. December is the exception!

  24. Highly recommend “The Bait of Satan” by John Bevere. It’s especially good for these lawless and offensive times.

  25. Americans should ignore the $31 trillion national debt. They cannot stop the printing and spending of fiat currency. Instead, they should exchange their dollars for real assets.

    Exponential analysis must be used in a fiat currency system. Debt inflations should be compared by using doubling times and the rule of 70. The fact that the national debt has doubled in ten years to $31 trillion is expected. The debt grew at 7%/yr. This is much better than 10-12%/yr seen in 1971-1990.

    The US government has never retired its debt. Andrew Jackson pushed it below $34,000 in 1835. Lincoln exploded the debt 42 fold from 65 million in 1860 to 2.773 billion in 1866. Wilson increased it 9 fold from 3 billion in 1915 to 27 billion in 1919.

    1. Hmmmm. “The market can stay irrational longer than you or I can stay solvent”-JMK. We are in an asset bubble right now. Cash may be the best place to be. I would be interested to look at a chart of household indebtedness but the central banks can pull the plug whenever they want. The deficit doesn’t matter as long as there is not inflation. Who are the creditors? Do they have a standing military?

  27. Re: Ask Catherine, PROMIS health questionnaire…
    This is not the first time I have seen the PROMIS name on various health related questionnaires. No need to worry, it’s just our trustworthy NIH gathering data for their friends. Ugh.

    http://commonfund.nih.gov/promis/index

    Here is what they say on the website about Promis:
    The Common Fund’s Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) program created new paradigms for how clinical research information is collected, used, and reported. PROMIS addressed a need in the clinical research community for a rigorously tested patient reported outcome (PRO) measurement tool that uses recent advances in information technology, psychometrics, and qualitative, cognitive, and health survey research to measure PROs such as pain, fatigue, physical functioning, emotional distress, and social role participation that have a major impact on quality-of-life across a variety of chronic diseases. For current information about PROMIS, please visit the HealthMeasures website (link is external).

    It’s part of the commonfund programs. https://commonfund.nih.gov/programs
    Boy, that’s a rabbit hole that will make your head spin.

    I recommend that no one fills out any of these forms. Also I am seeing an uptick in people being offered Apps to help them lose weight or have better mental health. Just say NO to the convenience. If you want to keep a food diary, buy a cheap journal and keep a diary. Then you can meet with your nutritionist or doc and talk about it.

    Alison has an interesting guest article about health questionnaires, data and the change in children’s healthcare. on her site Wrench in the Gears
    https://wrenchinthegears.com/2022/11/22/looking-around-the-labyrinth-in-utah-a-guest-post-about-primary-promise-and-the-transformation-of-childrens-healthcare/

    Remember you are the one paying your doctor. You are in charge. If they don’t understand that, then find someone who does. It takes a while to find a healthcare practitioner or partner you can trust. The ones I trust would never send you home an NIH survey on purpose or give PROMIS your information.
    Have a great weekend,
    Jen

  29. Also, I just read Every Human Intention: Japan in the New Century, by Dreux Richard. The long section on the post-Fukushima review of the Nuclear Energy did not describe any Japanese official or scientist pounding the table the way the doctor you showed did about autopsies.

  31. What happens when a vaccine passport in China changes to “red” status? People nearby have 10 mins to flee from the person, before their “passport” turns red too. These videos belong in a compilation of CBDC passport consequences.

    1. Heard yesterday from a colleague/friend in Shanghai that the traffic light system has been lifted. I don’t have all the details. Seems like there’s still a certain amount of testing, but now people (tested positive) can quarantine at home (rather than be carted away to a camp). This person is extremely relieved.

  33. We just had our propane tank topped off as the driver was next door. So, in order to save the company another drive out to this street we asked the driver if he would top off our tank. He was happy to do so.

    The driver said in passing… “the price is going down. They warned there will be a diesel shortage but there is plenty of diesel out there. I think someone is playing us.”– Out of the mouths of the productive class.

    We paid $2.70/gallon in April’22 today we paid $2.40.

  35. Dear Catherine,
    Many months ago, I put a hold on Gavin de Becker’s “The Gift of Fear”. I was the only person with a hold on the book, and it took at least 6 months to get to me. Censorship, anyone?

    Regardless, I’m reading it now. It is fantastic. I’ve ordered a copy for my 15 y.o. niece for Christmas from my local, independent bookstore. It is very conversational AND very effective.

    Thank you for all you do, Catherine. You are a light in the darkness.

    Elisabeth

    1. So glad you like it and are giving it to teenagers. That is a book that can save lives.

      1. Since the late 1990’s I have gifted this book and I also have it in my “essentials every one should read” list.

        So important also see GDB podcast with Joe Rogan posted on Spotify and this wonderful course he has made available free to all https://giftoffear.com/

        Also helped our adult daughter in her teens when she dealt with a controlling and verbally abusive boyfriend and how to get away from him. Plus in her early adult years how to safely get away from a stalker. Pure gold and a blessing to my family!

    2. That book changed my life. I am not fearful at all now that I can discern the incredible difference in fearfulness and the real fear one’s intuition signals.

      Terrific book!

  36. Operation Fox Hunt was officially started in 2014 to repatriate Chinese people wanted by their government. So by 2014 the infrastructure was already well established for such an international undertaking, therefore I would guess laying out this infrastructure took at least 5 years to carry out. So 12-13 years ago, these Chinese police stations were already operational. It seems the response from FBI etc is indignation and feigned ignorance, yet this could not have happened without an official agreement and acquiescence by the host governments. The fact that the Chinese policeman felt so comfortable to send the Dutch police a copy of his diplomatic passport suggests they were not operating in secrecy.

    The existence of these police stations was well known, and people reported this to the FBI and local police over the decade, and I am guessing at a certain point the local police was told to stand down from somewhere higher up.

    I would say the bigger story is not that these police stations are actually operating, but who in our governments gave them permission to have extra judicial access to green card holders / permanent residents and dual chinese citizens. And what was the quid pro quo for this – good deals on police robot dogs or surveillance tech?

    The faux indignation and righteousness of the various govts is silly. It’s like the military being shocked about China having hypersonic missles in 2022. In 2019 a Chinese building brick toy company released an official PLA hypersonic missle launcher model. You can probably even buy it on Amazon, definitely on Alibaba. Guess the DOD should include children’s toys catalogs in their intelligence gathering.

    My guess is the NGO is a front for the release of this information, because inevitably there are two sides to this deal, and no one wants to bring up their own governments culpability.

    The deeper story is that there is a genuine breakdown of relations between the West and China on many micro levels, which is very worrying. Otherwise the Western govts would never have allowed this NGO to go public with this info.

    Although cheap russian oil is helping China, it is also serving as a deflationary force to keep Chinese consumer goods cheaper for the rest of the world. I would guess that with the lockdowns, a large portion of that oil is exported in the form of consumer goods, not staying in China for domestic consumption.

    1. All free media in free countries is censoring news from protests in China. Also from protests in Brazil. I think the same Chinese company counted the votes in USA and Brazil. I have seen some pictures from Brazil and the crowds are huge.
      Not long ago, free media was ignoring protests in Canada. Few years ago, I wanted to visit Paris and somebody told me: ‘don’t go now there are huge protests there.’ Really? In the media they are only talking about 100 people protesting in Russia. I mean in the free media; had to search fakenews media to find out about protests.

    2. Andrzej
      Your reports are very helpful. Hard to see through the noise. In one sense Russian oil is being swung to the Wal Mart wholesale operation.
      Catherine

      1. Here is a link to the hypersonic missle launcher toy, in case it sounded unbelievable, the company name is Sembo:

        https://semboblocks.com/product/sembo-105801-dongfeng-17-hypersonic-ballistic-missile-vehicle-military

        DESCRIPTION
        SEMBO 105801 Dongfeng-17 Hypersonic Ballistic Missile Vehicle Military belongs to the military series building block set, the whole set contains 1277 building block particles. First released in 2020.

        And here is the FT link of the US reaction to the missle test in August 2021:

        https://www.ft.com/content/ba0a3cde-719b-4040-93cb-a486e1f843fb

        The test has raised new questions about why the US often underestimated China’s military modernisation.

        “We have no idea how they did this,” said a fourth person.

        —-

        Maybe there are nuances about missles which I do not understand, hence the missle test in 2021 which shocked the US and the toy released in 2020 were different.

  37. Oh my, looks like Caroline Ellison has the spirit of a ninja hiring Jamie Gorelick as her attorney. This is inside baseball as Merrick Garland use to work for Jamie.

    What did Trump just do by bringing up suspending the Constitution? Did he put it into the consciousness of the people and baited the lamestream media to give it life? This affirms that the mil-intel may have been very active the last few years in collecting tons of damaging data.

    Victoria Nuland visits Zelensky in Kiev, then the next day a missile of drone hits a Russian Air Base inside of Russia. Question – Did Nuland also visit her buddy V. Klitschko?

    Unrest in China. Is there going to be a 32 degree to 33 degree moment (ice to water) for this country?

    Catherine, are you going to share what you see for 2023? I think 2023 is a year where we see Toto pull back the curtain to expose the true power structure. It is going to be a remarkable year as a total mindset of reality of this world and who we are can germinate.

    1. I did not see a quote where he suggested suspending the Constitution. If he did suggest that they he wants to double down on Genociding the American people. Apparently Operation Warp Speed did not kill enough people.

      Yup. Lots of dirt being dished out from here on out. Just remember the establishment was to tear down the Constitution to still our assets and steamroll the people. So pouring out the corruption helps them if they can get people to support tearing up the Constitution and the BOZOS who promote such a thing – DEMONIC to reject the covenant of grace and destroy all that protects us.

      1. Catherine
        One has to consider the exposures is theatre to thin the herd that have served their purpose for the NWO. They get what they want and the masses feel good that finally some action has been taken. Gives a false confidence to the people.

        From a quick search I see that NY Times, Wash Post, NBC News, CBS News, PBS, and BBC are all stating that Trump has called to terminate the Constitution. Rolling Stone reports he wants to rip up the Constitution.

        So what did he actually say? Basically when there is a massive fraud of this magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles even those found in the Constitution. Sounds like Trump does not want to terminate the Constitution (or suspend) but that the 2020 election fraud invalidates the Constitution. Got to remember the E.O. he signed in Sept 2018 (E.O. 13848) declaring a National Emergency dealing with the threats of interfering in elections. It undermines public confidence in U.S. elections, including unauthorized accessing of elections or distribution of propaganda and disinformation is a threat to the national security.

        Or is Trump bringing up about the 2020 election fraud because of Art II Sec 4? It states the President, V.P. and all civil officers of the U.S. shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

        As I have said before “Timing is important in both comedy and politics

        My question is why has Trump decided at this time to rehash the 2020 election and bait the mass media to spin the story of terminating the Constitution. He is a private citizen and has no power to do terminate anything.

        Bankman Fried just hired Mark Cohen to be is lawyer, same lawyer that recently defended Ghislaine Maxwell.

      2. He recently proposed constitutional amendment to impose term limits on Congress, a permanent ban on taxpayer funding of campaigns and a lifetime ban on lobbying by former members of Congress, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OlfQvVrSOw&t=3265s

        ConCon people of course agree, https://conventionofstates.com/news/trump-promotes-cos-effort-to-implement-term-limits-on-members-of-congress

        Will knee-jerk opposition to every Trump proposal now cause the press to argue against a ConCon?

        1. Trump realizes he is a lightning rod for mass media and baits the media to show the public who butters their bread.

    2. I have seen increasing layers of disinformation on top of misinformation and flat out lies on this topic, including some clown named Beau posing as a redneck then proceeding to essentially blame the NC power station attacks (discussed below) on Trump, so you are going to have to change dirty filters quite frequently in the days ahead.

      1. Agree, we are in an informational war. As the dirt is being exposed expect false flags in the coming months. People need to focus on the many exposures unfolding and not to get granular on the false flags. When we stop attacking one another the true enemy will be standing in front of us. That is what the demon scum bags fear.

    3. Trump did not say anything in favor of suspending the constitution, but rather, made a statement in response to the wide acknowledgement now that the Hunter Biden laptop was real, and that twitter interfered in the election

      He was claiming that those actions was what, in effect, ignored/superseded “all rules, regulations, and articles even those found in the Constitution”. It was not stated very clearly, unfortunately.

      1. Kevin, correct, but the news media spun it that Trump wants to terminate the Constitution.

  38. BREAKING

    It’s too soon to tell, but this looks very much like a false flag type of event, and the lying news media includes some speculation that it may be related to a protest of a drag queen show nearby. Moore County is the home of Fort Bragg, the 82nd Airborne, and many Green Beret units. These are not generally liberals, and therefore would likely oppose bizarre displays of deviant sexuality. On the other hand, what sense would it make to blow up power substations in the area where you live as something to protest this deviance? It would make about as much sense as Putin blowing up his own pipeline that would supply Europe.

    No, I think the speculation is not only hollow but deliberately misleading. It’s likelier that the intention is to partially disable the fighting ability of the specialized troops and their families. By whom, and for what reason, it is too soon to tell. We should be alert to similar effects in other areas, like we had the rash of food processing plant outages in 2021. Stay tuned…

    https://youtu.be/qPf8_28-9ns

      1. The 82nd Airborne’s mission is characterized as “wheels up in 48 hours” to anywhere in the world. This is a rapid response base. The disabling of civilian infrastructure as has been done would greatly thwart family readiness and possibly availability of fighting men. .

    2. 275KV transformers are more or less a bespoke item. And they don’t fail. Well unless some form of sabotage is underway.
      I’ll guess these are the things Russia is targetting in Ukraine. Apparently only 6 to go to black out Ukraine entirely.
      BTW something similar happened in California around 2010 but they also took out fibre optic cables nearby.
      Somebody wanted to find out what would actually happen, I’ll guess.

  39. I just had to post this Catherine. My local Indeed job postings just listed this primo job of a “power distribution lineman” in Antarctica!
    I wanted to post the link but it was several lines long, so here is the company that posted the job on Indeed instead.
