Global headlines - 8 November, 2019



## Global Ponzi meltdown/House of Cards/global cooling/deflationary collapse ##
The demographic situation the world faces is unprecedented and unparalleled in modern history.  All the deaths of the past few centuries warfare were blips on the radar compared to what is taking place now.  Given the infinite growth economic model, the situation is beyond repair and no repair will be attempted.

Remember: Failure of the financial system is far and away the most likely trigger of collapse. -- RF

Trump OKs wider Syria oil mission, raising legal questions

I don't understand how Syrian forces can "threaten" their own oil. -- RF
Our conclusion is that, by far, we believe the easiest way to lose nearly all of your money is IPOs, and the more exciting the IPO, the more the catastrophic the base rates.

Lebanon protests: Students hold walkout, World Bank offers support

Another Canadian Oil & Gas Producer Bites The Dust
Calgary-based Houston Oil & Gas Ltd has become the latest victim of the struggling oil and gas sector in Canada, ceasing operations as lower oil and natural gas prices and an investor exodus continues to weaken Alberta’s energy sector.
“I don't think OPEC has to worry that much more about U.S. shale growth long-term.”
It is just as I said on November 1: "Producers with good conventional oil need only relax and wait for shale to die of its own accord." -- RF
More ludicrous logic. All NPPs are ticking time bombs, i.e., future Chernobyls and Fukushimas. Do you really believe that power grids will never fail and that diesel fuel deliveries will always be on time? -- RF

A new study using brain scans showed that the white matter in the brains of children who spent hours in front of screens wasn't developing as fast as it was in the brains of kids who didn't.
Planting trees and shrubs around factories and power plants may be a better air pollution mitigation strategy than installing scrubbing technologies, according to a new study.
This is a complex problem with no easy solution. There are surely elites who want to quickly reduce the human population, and through nefarious means such as biowarfare. Unfortunately, even if these people do not succeed, failure of the global financial system and net energy decline will inevitably trigger a collapse that achieves the same end. Victims can thank the world's greedy, corrupt, myopic, and inept leadership for this. Billions of innocent people will die because of this leadership failure, so our immediate focus should be on saving as many of them as possible. On the other hand, we need to realize that a planet inhabited by nothing but humans and their domestic animals is not only undesirable, but also impossible. Other species are literally being pushed off the planet by the great human land grab. Our leaders tell us that we need more workers, more taxpayers, more consumers, and more people to pay into ponzi pension systems. Obviously, many of these people believe that the more humans, the better, but that's the mentality that helped lead us to this situation in the first place. And BTW, because most leaders subscribe to this mentality, it means that elites who favor exterminating most of the human population are a very small minority. -- RF

9/11 museum details hunt for bin Laden in new exhibit
When cops submit DNA seeking matches, they don't always identify themselves as law enforcement officers. Faux accounts are being used to gather matches with DNA services (and their users) unaware of the government's intrusion.
