      On Monday, pressure in the undersea Nord Stream 2 pipeline suddenly collapsed, and gas could be seen bubbling to the surface of the Baltic Sea near the Danish island of Bornholm. Shortly afterwards, reports came of a total collapse in the pressure of our other major undersea pipeline connection to Russia, Nord Stream 1, indicating a further rupture.

      The Swedish National Seismic Network confirmed that as many as 30 of their measuring stations recorded the explosions with one of them having the strength of 2.3 on the Richter scale.

          The old world broke this week. It was blown up cynically by someone who thought this would advance their agenda the most.

          The act of vandalizing a major piece of physical infrastructure, targeting civilian populations, isn’t unprecedented in history, but it does signal that everything we thought we knew about the rules of the current game was wrong.

          Well, for most people anyway.

          How Toxic ‘Forever Chemicals’ Contaminate Your Food

            New research shows disturbingly high levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals, or PFAS, in widely used pesticides. When the pesticides are sprayed on plants, the chemicals enter the food supply through contaminated soils.

            New research has documented disturbingly high levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in widely used pesticides.

            These findings contradict previous statements by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that PFAS are not used in registered pesticide products and has prompted Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) to urge that EPA act immediately to ban the use of any pesticide containing PFAS.

              My interest is the predominance of propaganda and lies over truth. Ron Unz has the same interest. Four months after my column, “The Lies About World War II,” ( https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/05/13/the-lies-about-world-war-ii/ ) appeared, Unz took the story further in his long report, “Understanding World War II” ( http://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-understanding-world-war-ii/ ). Unz’s columns tend to be monographs or small books, well beyond the attention spans of most Americans. Unz gave me permission to republish his monograph in installments. This is the first installment: https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/11/19/the-truth-about-world-war-ii-is-beginning-to-emerge-74-years-later/ and this is the second: https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2022/09/15/understanding-world-war-ii/ These three articles were for a couple of years the most read of the material on my website.

                What has been occurring in the gold and silver markets is nothing short of extraordinary. In the face of all objective and measurable conditions in the physical markets pointing to higher prices, instead prices have collapsed over the past six months by amounts comparable to the sharpest selloffs in history. From the price top of March 8, gold has fallen as much as $450 (22%), while silver has fallen by as much as $10 (36%) in recent dealings.

                  It’s already playing a key role in every one of Powell’s press conferences.

                  Just about every day, there are stories of layoffs, but mostly small-scale layoffs, in the hundreds, 300 people here, 500 people there – of the 153 million employed people. Occasionally, there were layoffs of 1,000 or 2,000 people, and sometimes those are in global operations, with an unknown number in the US. Then there are large companies that are laying off staff in the divisions they’re trimming back, but they’re hiring in their other divisions, and often employees can get hired by another division.

                    Worse Than Katrina? It Appears That We Just Witnessed The Most Costly Natural Disaster In U.S. History By A Wide Margin

                      I don’t know if I have the words to describe what we have just seen.  Summer just ended, and within one week we have already witnessed the most costly natural disaster in the entire history of the United States.  There are some areas along the west coast of Florida that have literally been destroyed.  Some have compared the devastation to the dropping of an atomic bomb, and that is not an exaggeration at all.  The state of Florida has never experienced a storm quite like this before, and recovery is going to be measured in years.

                      Aussie central bank goes BUST, declaring wiped-out reserves and bond losses

                        The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) went bust, reporting wiped-out reserves and huge bond losses.

                        The Land Down Under’s central bank revealed its wiped-out equity, thanks to bond purchases driven by the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. These purchases sought to support economic activity during the lockdown periods.

                        During a Sept. 21 speech in Sydney, RBA Deputy Governor Michelle Bullock revealed that the central bank’s moves caused an accounting loss of 36.7 billion Australian dollars ($23.49 billion). This RBA with negative equity amounting to A$12.94 billion ($7.94 billion) and rendered it unable to pay government dividends for some time.

                            The sabotage of the Nord Stream (NS) and Nord Stream 2 (NS2) pipelines in the Baltic Sea has ominously propelled ‘Disaster Capitalism’ to a whole new, toxic level.

                            This episode of Hybrid Industrial/Commercial War, in the form of a terror attack against energy infrastructure in international waters signals the absolute collapse of international law, drowned by a “our way or the highway”, “rules-based”, order.
