Zone studies for actual national defense facilitated contact to the Seante. The updated Technological findings of the study indicated a factor of 10 miscalculation of the area reserves for that zone. The line terminated from completion was funded by enemy infiltration of NGO collusion as and in foreign hostile interests as international lawfare. The Nation is indeed compromised on levels since the other Senate contact in the notes here.
My Wife quit the mathematics department for Graduate Students since She was tired doing their Homework and then the advances as intent from the wave of deviants taking over. Once they are told we have been married with children for well over a few decades they are disruptive and simply vindictive evil sociopaths more than not as we have seen in affairs as they also just happen to burn Cities and kick and slap a few Senators around.
The other Professor quit soon after and they keep in contact a few times a year. Currently the Wife works with the elderly Church members and other non-deranged areas for those who just need a few things assisted. We Judge to the extent we know the consequences and separate our time to those who do think. Compromise is Adults solutions. Marxism is a death march with sodden feet acting like its different this time.
The French and Americans and British are rather naive to a rather plain view. Garden is good the Beef are fine, and I wish I planted more Trefoil.
The people and my children are leaving the health care structures since they value themselves and actual patient issues and solutions in and of the future. As conveyed another Professor told them no amount of money can ever cover what you serve and did.

A more attractive model is emerging: The company funds or co-funds PhD candidates or postdoctoral researchers studying difficult scientific problems or new areas of technology of interest to the company, and its scientists or engineers co-mentor the researchers with faculty members. If something promising emerges, then more funding is forthcoming either directly from the company or via a collaborative proposal to a government agency by the university and the company.

For example, my school has recently partnered with Schlumberger to co-fund PhD students on projects, some of which have justified continued funding from the company.
Companies also recognize that top talent is not confined to just a handful of schools. The Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education identifies 107 colleges and universities as engaging in the “highest research activity.” Companies are tapping into the rich resources they offer.

For instance, a little over five years ago Procter & Gamble funded a Modeling and Simulation Center for Product Development at the University of Cincinnati that focuses on collaborative research projects and the co-mentoring of PhD students. And in 2015 the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and pharma giant GlaxoSmithKline announced the creation of a dedicated HIV Cure center and a jointly owned new company that will focus on discovering a cure for HIV/AIDS. A small research team from GSK moved to Chapel Hill to be co-located with UNC researchers.
https://hbr.org/2018/01/why-companies-a ... aborations

The purpose of my previous post was to illustrate that this model has been in place without the co-mentoring add-on for at least 40 years. It is nothing new. Harvard Business Review has to know this. It's very, very difficult for me to imagine that they don't.

The previous post was not to say that I understand the details of how researchers were solving (or approximating solutions to) partial differential equations for big oil because I never got involved in it. However, at that time, I felt that I was being targeted as a dupe and that agreeing to pursue a PhD in that manner was almost equivalent to being a slave on an industrial plantation. I saw professors who were making excuses to keep graduate students there for 6 years. During that time, my mother clipped and mailed a newspaper article describing how a student at a different institution shot and killed a professor for interminably keeping him in a PhD program and not letting him go.

Fortunately, at that time there were still alternatives. I found the lowest tier of school in the cheapest location that would fund me for the largest amount (it was $10,000 per year tax free in 1983), hung out for a few months pretending I somehow got in the wrong place, dumbed myself down and found a job through informal channels, as described previously. While I was there waiting to get employed, I lived in a big rooming house, played chess and watched TV with the kids I was living with, worked out at the university gym, went to video arcades, picked up used books, and was still able to pass my classes, all on big oil's dime.

However, what I suspect is that with the new Dark Age tightening its grip, corporate America and the universities would like to figure out a way to delay lots more young people from reaching the age at which they find gainful employment, while still reaping all the benefits. It could become almost a rite of passage to "collaborate" with PhD candidates while paying them puny stipends and corralling them on industrial plantations for several years instead of paying them living wages. As the article states, "Companies also recognize that top talent is not confined to just a handful of schools. The Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education identifies 107 colleges and universities as engaging in the “highest research activity.”" What a convenient revelation!

Almost ten years ago, the typical progression I was seeing for young people where I was working was a bachelor's degree, a master's degree, a couple years doing various low paid work (even including things like waitressing) while living at home, employment as a contractor for about a year where I was working and, if they were lucky(?) and didn't get fired, placement into a full time entry level job with benefits at age 25 to 27. None of the delay between bachelor's and first entry level job was necessary. I felt it was the system's way to hold on. But it can't hold on forever by delaying the birth of the first child for this cohort to later and later ages, with fewer children also.
Both industry and academia stand to benefit from long-term cooperation. Companies will gain greater access to cutting-edge research and scientific talent at a time when corporate R&D budgets are increasingly under pressure. Universities will gain access to financial support and partners in research at a time when government funding is shrinking.
While students get a piece of paper.

That's moving in the wrong direction.

The key point in the repeat of the data below is: "These two sets of data show that there is virtually nobody with any financial means under the age of 25 giving birth in America today." Eyeballing the data below, it can be calculated that about 8 percent of the births in the United States are to women under age 25 who are not on Medicaid. That's a pretty sobering statistic. It corroborates the fact that there are virtually no jobs in the United States available to support young families.

Results—The provisional number of births for the United States in 2018 was 3,788,235, down 2% from 2017 and the lowest number of births in 32 years. The general fertility rate was 59.0 births per 1,000 women aged 15–44, down 2% from 2017 and another record low for the United States. The total fertility rate declined 2% to 1,728.0 births per 1,000 women in 2018, another record low for the nation. Birth rates declined for nearly all age groups of women under 35, but rose for women in their late 30s and early 40s.

Selecting "Age Specific Birth Rates" on the left gives this chart.

I've posted the below graph before. These two sets of data show that there is virtually nobody with any financial means under the age of 25 giving birth in America today.

I went to the CDC site and got the numbers for the data shown. Since the data is based on rate (number of births per thousand), this calculation assumes that the population in each 5 year cohort is the same. The ages of the cohorts are followed by the rate.

30-34 94.9
25-29 90.2
20-24 63.0
35-39 51.8
15-19 15.4
40-44 11.8

All the rates sum to 327.1.

The percentage of births not on Medicaid who are under age 25 is therefore about:

[15.4*(1 - 0.775) + 63.0*(1 - 0.637)]/327.1 x 100 = 8.0%.

Having the majority of births to women aged 25-34, while mostly OK on an individual basis, is probably not OK for the population at large, or at least not as good as the majority of births being to women aged 18-24, who on average are going to be healthier. Most of these births to women aged 25-34 would also be to fathers who are older than the women. At these ages, genetic defects, while still small on an individual basis, are probably increasing enough to have a negative effect on the health of the population, especially if this were to continue for several generations. I am no expert on these matters, but I am also skeptical that there are any true experts, as is the case with many health issues today.
American families changed a lot starting in the 1960s and 1970s. Two years stand out in particular: 1960, when the birth-control pill entered the market, and 1973, when the Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade. A new study makes the provocative argument that the latter, not the former, is what really prompted Americans to get married and start having children at older ages than they used to. (Hat tip to Tyler Cowen; free draft of the paper here.)

If this is true (and I'm skeptical about this too), this effect of abortion on the health of the future population did us no favors.

Next I want to talk about a management control method that has been in place for several decades in various forms.

It was 1995 or thereabouts that we were forced to see some canned film presentations about "diversity". One film was really corny and it said diversity is good for you - it's like eating your peas. No shit. The next thing they did was bring an Indian woman with a red dot on her forehead in to become a manager 2 levels up from the engineers. She had come to the US in 1968 to get a PhD in water chemistry but was put in charge of chemical engineers. The management tactic was to put her in there to hammer everyone under her and then for upper management above her to tacitly be like (in other words, without ever really saying it) oh, we're sorry, but she's a diversity hire and we can't get rid of her when "red dot" as I called her was just doing exactly what upper management told her to do and she didn't give a shit because she hated everyone under her anyway. The cruelty was unimaginable. That was a technique to manage a white professional workforce in 1995 until "red dot" retired.

Now I'm hearing that a similar technique being used to control minority hourly workforces. One place I heard about put a white dyke ex-cop into an hourly role on an afternoon and night shift, giving her complete control of the facility when she wasn't even hired into a management role. Again, the cruelty was off the charts. She called one black woman down from Killeen to Austin supposedly to work, fired her, then she had to drive back home. So last night I was telling a white friend of mine about this and he said, no way, nothing to see. I said it's happening. We talked about a few other things. About 20 minutes later he called me back. He had checked it out and heard about a facility that hired a white dyke ex-cop but this one was in a management role. I said it's a management technique, just be aware of it.

It's two things. One is divide and conquer. The other is to create untouchable categories for the elites to glean benefits out of. If the system lasts another 20 years, the next category is the "transgender people". You'll end up with a transgender boss and the boss will be able to do whatever the boss wants. Hopefully, people won't catch on to the fact that "transgender people" are the next untouchable category or there might be a run on sex change operations. But that already appears to be what might be happening, and one reason why some parents don't do anything to stop it. You know, like if your kid is a "transgender person" that's a hardship and it will be able to get preferential all kinds of things.

Just my ideas, could be wrong.

PS I don't think he was actually told that. Somebody probably just told him that this kind of stuff is happening. That's why my answer to him was that it's a management technique, just be aware of it.

Of the 769 individuals who completed the survey, 284 identified themselves as LGBT
older adults, and 485 identified themselves as family members or friends, social service
providers, legal services providers, or simply “other.” Social service providers included
ombudsman program representatives, state staff of area agencies on aging, administrators
of area agencies on aging, nursing home administrators, doctors, social workers, nurses,
psychologists, hospice workers, and owners of and workers in home health care companies.
The concerns included in this report are mostly expressed in comments from the
respondents themselves rather than in answers to closed-ended questions. At the same
time, some of the findings, while not the product of a random sample or scientifically
reliable, are telling. A majority, for example, believed that staff would discriminate
against an LGBT elder who was open about his or her sexual orientation. More than
half felt that staff would abuse or neglect an LGBT elder and other residents.
However, the most significant results of the survey are expressed in the hundreds
of comments submitted, ranging from reports of staff harassment to staff refusals
to provide basic services or care. Altogether, 328 people reported 853 instances of
mistreatment. Instances were reported by those identifying themselves as LGBT older
adults, family members, friends, social service providers, legal services providers, or
other interested individuals.
Some of these comments point to possible violations of federal nursing home law,
as noted in the section “Legal Rights of LGBT Residents,” while others signify that
far more training and awareness by staff is needed. Additionally, policymakers would
be well advised to consider the wide array of policy remedies that could be enacted to
better support LGBT elders and the institutions where they reside and receive services.
Based in large part on these comments, the recommendations made in this report are
directed toward policymakers and consumers as well as long-term care providers.
https://www.lgbtagingcenter.org/resourc ... report.pdf

Somebody I know was working a shift in an assisted care facility for elderly adults as a contractor. Management called a mandatory meeting for all workers in the facility, including contractors. The meeting was about one of the elderly residents that was "transitioning" and how to conduct themselves. She said people are assigned to certain areas and certain floors and there was no way she would have ever had any contact with this resident, and most of the employees called into this meeting wouldn't either. I asked her if anything like this had happened in other facilities. She said there was an employee who was "transitioning" in another facility and an employee who was fired in a third facility for supposedly discriminating against a "transgender person".

Reading the quote above makes me think that LGBT is sort of an industry. The professional parasites self-organize around what they see as another money making scam (in a declining civilization).

I once came across an article that talked about "collapsing" now to be able to ease into that lifestyle when that becomes the new normal. Most people will attempt to hang on to the familiar comforts and the known for as long as possible.
That may have been John Michael Greer, who coined the phrase "Collapse now and avoid the rush." He published a book by that name which contains some essays from his old blog. If you go to the address of the original blog, it will say that it's shut, but all of the essays that were on the blog can be found here:

https://thearchdruidreport-archive.2006 ... index.html
I finished talking about catabolic collapse and started fielding questions, of which there were plenty, and somewhere in the conversation that followed one of the other participants made a comment. I don’t even remember the exact words, but it was something like, "So what you’re saying is that what we need to do, individually, is to go through collapse right away."

"Exactly," I said. "Collapse now, and avoid the rush."

Outside of that conversation, I doubt I would have thought of the phrase at all. By the end of the conference, though, it was on the lips of a good many of the attendees, and for good reason: I can’t think of a better way to sum up the work ahead of us right now, as industrial society lurches down the far side of its trajectory through time. Longtime readers of this blog know most of the reasoning behind that suggestion, but it may be worth walking through it again step by step.
https://thearchdruidreport-archive.2006 ... -rush.html
I've been sidling up to this topic, so will shove this repeat into the Dark Age Hovel. This can mean different things to different people.

For me, it generally meant not feeding the corporate slave system any more than possible. Granted, others may view what I call the corporate slave system as a source of wealth and not another system of slavery at all. So for me it meant not taking the vax, with the reasons summed up within this post. I don't care for supporting the accumulation of ill-gotten money but most have higher priority considerations. Consider the possibility that I was willing to die of covid so Pfizer couldn't get 50 bucks. I've given my family instructions not to call the paramedics if I'm lying on the kitchen floor dying.

Experts agree that it is essential to develop multiple vaccines, because the urgent global need for billions of doses will far outstrip the production capacity of any one manufacturer. But there is widespread concern among scientists that haste could compromise safety, resulting in a vaccine that does not work or even harms patients.
https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-wor ... &utm_term=

The 97th Percentile and Gen X Debacles make this outcome more likely than not, in my opinion. They will rush a vaccine through, counterfeit the money to produce it (government subsidized), then it won't work. There will be opposition from reasonable people, but nobody will listen.
It meant not being willing to be a corporate slave in return for getting a certificate of accomplishment (PhD diploma) for 6 years of hard, mind crushing labor. But I have a friend who, in his late 40s, was down here working toward a PhD in Aerospace Engineering and he told me that he had always wanted to get a PhD. I didn't discourage him. He didn't get one, but that's a secondary point.

Also, I accept that many would view my refusal to do these things as rooted in lack of trust, sloth, etc., as stated earlier. More likely, in my opinion, these reordering of priorities stem from differences in what is called the "hierarchy of values" which creates these conflicts in views between different people.

On the other hand, someone on this forum could have correctly pointed out that if I head up to the Midwest as I stated I would as the collapse picks up speed, that anyone doing that is likely to end up as a serf. I'm aware of that and perfectly OK with it. I'm willing to do bone crushing labor for a person who owns a 5000 acre farm versus mind crushing labor for a faceless corporation. Most are not willing to make that tradeoff in my observation, even if they can, and most can't.

It's getting close to sundown, and therefore the lights will soon be going out in the Dark Age Hovel.

Nighttime reading in the Hovel (there's nearly a full moon tonight). Once I explore my perspective on a topic, admittedly out of date in many cases, I've taken more and more lately to going to quora and get a more in-depth perspective. This is a very detailed and more up-to-date answer to the topic: What do professors think about the idea that graduate students are exploited cheap labor in the lab? https://qr.ae/pyb5rP

Given events since 2012, along with eventually getting into an in-depth discussion of the possibility for "large scale nuclear war", this post is being put in the Dark Age Hovel.

Some of the recent events are the drastic pickup in Chinese crossing the Mexican border, the opinion of Gordon Chang that Xi will move on Taiwan by 2024, and more and more of a consensus developing that covid was a bioweapon that was released out of the Wuhun lab.

A couple things I'd mention upon reading this thread.

Warren Buffett owns an insurance company. In his policies, he has clauses that state the policies do not cover damage from nuclear attack. Here's what he said on this topic in 2002:
May 6, 2002 Posted: 7:55 AM EDT (1155 GMT)

Investor Warren Buffett, who has major insurance holdings, says the United States faces a high risk of nuclear, chemical or biological attack.

OMAHA, Nebraska (AP) -- Investment guru Warren Buffett offered a bleak prediction for the nation's national security, saying a terrorist attack on American soil is "virtually a certainty."

Envy and dislike of the United States have fueled rage against the country even as the ability to build a nuclear device has spread, Buffett said Sunday at the final day of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.'s annual meeting.

"We're going to have something in the way of a major nuclear event in this country," said Buffett, the firm's chief operating officer. "It will happen. Whether it will happen in 10 years or 10 minutes, or 50 years ... it's virtually a certainty."

Washington and New York would be the top two targets because terrorists want to traumatize the country and kill as many people as possible, Buffett said.

Chemical or biological attacks are similarly high risks, Buffett said.
http://research.lifeboat.com/cnn.htm

This is what he said about this same topic in 2012. Here, he mentions governments as possible sources of attacks, not just terrorists:
CNBC's Becky Quick: Overall you are very optimistic about the future not only of this country but of the stock market. But if you have a list of worries, what's at the top of that list?

Warren Buffett: My biggest worry is nuclear, chemical, and biological attack of some sort, whether by a government or by a rogue. That will happen some day in our future and that will be a large tragedy to an unbelievable tragedy.

Quick: Right now it's not on the forefront of Americans' minds although a lot of things that are happening in the Middle East right now are creeping back up there.

Buffett: It'll happen sometime when it isn't on our minds just like it happened on 9-11. There are people that wish us ill and they wish us a lot of ill if they can pull it off. So nuclear, chemical, and biological knowledge is spent. There are plenty of people that wish us ill, so that is the biggest worry.
http://articles.businessinsider.com/201 ... ttack-cnbc

Moving onto the next topic, I don't recall bringing this up anywhere on the forum, but I think the nuclear war, if the war does occur that way, will start with either small suitcase nukes or devices that disperse and contaminate a limited but critical area. I believe either terrorists or robots will be involved in executing these attacks, but governments will be behind the attacks. They will be difficult to trace, but I think nuclear material is ultimately traceable as to its source. You guys please correct me if I'm wrong on this. I found this article that describes the current state of the art (perhaps traceable, perhaps not it appears).

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/mar/2 ... -ministers

If nuclear material can be used that is not ultimately traceable, then I think limited scale nuclear war as an initial strategy is pretty much a done deal. But anyway, my point is that if the Chinese want to retaliate against the US for whatever reason, as an example, they will use a terrorist organization. They may smuggle a suitcase nuke in through, say, the border of Mexico, then detonate it somewhere nearby that has critical infrastructure, like Houston. Or the terrorists may take it all the way to Washington or New York if they can, but I'm not sure if they would be able to get it that far without it being detected. As another example, the Russians can be behind smuggling and detonating a suitcase nuke and make it look like the Chinese did it. The possibilities are endless.

Anyway, once something like this is accomplished in one or several critical cities, it would put the targeted country in a bind as to how to respond. I believe the ultimate response would be to launch a larger scale attack against whoever is supected to be the source.

I would also mention that if bioweapons with pandemic effects can be perfected soon enough, then I strongly believe those will become the weapons of choice and they will be delivered in much the same manner, with infected terrorists spreading the pandemic via public transportation systems and so on.

Is China Sneaking Military Personnel into the U.S. Via Border? What We Know

BY ALEKS PHILLIPS ON 6/16/23 AT 12:28 PM EDT

The Republican Chair of the House Homeland Security Committee has said that it was "very likely" that "military personnel" were being inserted into the United States by China by crossing the southern land border.

Announcing an investigation into the Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, over his role in the border crisis, Mark Green, a former U.S. Army serviceman and representative for Tennessee, claimed many of the Chinese nationals entering America were "military-age men," many of them having "known ties" to the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and People's Liberation Army (PLA).

It comes after Melissa Dalton, assistant secretary of defense for homeland defense, told the House Armed Services Committee in March that China, along with Russia, was now posing "more dangerous challenges to the safety and security of the U.S. homeland."

Both Dalton and Green cited the incident in February in which a Chinese spy balloon—which Beijing claims was a wayward weather balloon—passed over the continental U.S. before being shot down and recovered off the coast of South Carolina as a sign of this new threat.

During a press conference, Green noted that there had been "a massive surge in Chinese nationals" crossing the southern border, claiming "many of whom are military-age men, many with known ties to the PLA, ties to the CCP."

Public data from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency shows 2023 has seen a spike in encounters of Chinese nationals at the southern land border compared to the previous years—when border crossings were overall lower due to coronavirus pandemic restrictions.

As of April, there had been a total of 9,854 encounters in the fiscal year-to-date, which runs from October to September, rising sharply from February. In 2022, there were 2,176 encounters.

While over 1,500 of these were individuals in a family unit, the vast majority (8,304) were single adults—though a breakdown of age and what proportion are male is not given. Neither has the government publicly stated if any were believed to have ties to Beijing.

Asked about the credibility of Green's claim, Rebecca Grant Ph.D., a national security analyst at IRIS Independent Research, told Newsweek that she personally believed it to be true, referencing the likelihood of some immigrants having ties to the Chinese state given the many Chinese nationals already in the U.S.—5.4 million in 2021, according to Migration Policy Institute figures.

"If you're a bad guy that wants to infiltrate operatives into the U.S.A., the southern border is a pretty easy way to do it," she added.

A Department of Homeland Security official told Newsweek that it used "biometric and biographical" information on those encountered at the border "to identify potential terrorists or criminals and prevent their release into the United States."

They stressed that "anyone who poses a national security or public safety threat is detained and not released into the United States."

When questioned on his source for the claims, Green said that he had heard it from a border sector chief, but declined to say more. However, he added: "We have a classified briefing on it in the very near future."

Newsweek approached CBP for comment regarding Green's claims via email on Friday.

Grant said that it was an area of national security where the intelligence community was "never going to give us public information," but "the fact that they're going to brief Congress on it tells me that there's something there."

Green also said that the alleged insertions were "very likely using Russia's template of sending military personnel into Ukraine," adding: "China is doing the same in the United States."

My best guess is that these are PLA trained terrorists who will be dispersed throughout the US in safe houses currently occupied by Chinese. Their primary job will be to knock out infrastructure and create havoc. If that is what they are doing, I'm not sure how many months of lead time they would need, but probably no more than a year.

How many of the PLA fighters have slipped into the United States this way? Some estimate 5,000, others 10,000. Those numbers sound high, but whatever the actual figure more are coming.

These are China's shock troops. The concern is that, on the first day of war in Asia they will take down America's power lines, poison reservoirs, assassinate officials, start wildfires, spread pathogens, and create terror by bombing shopping malls and supermarkets.
This is what I would expect too. If there is to be anything nuclear, that should come later.

I also expect them to go after the new chip factories that are under construction as part of the first assault. We will be ready for that.

Also stamped on the new bills was a promise that with its issuance, "poverty [would] vanish, provisions [would] become cheap, and rich and poor [would] be equal." In 1291, Rinchindorji Gaikathu, a former governor of Anatolia, took the throne of the Ilkhanate. Like most politicians,
Gaikathu was a reckless spendthrift and wasted no time finding numerous causes on which to squander the treasury in his effort to consolidate power.
