Reports of Kids’ Mysterious Liver Ailment Expand in U.S.
Six states have now confirmed or are probing cases that match CDC’s description of severe hepatitis with no known cause
More than 160 cases of severe pediatric hepatitis, or liver inflammation, in kids without existing health issues have been reported from about a dozen countries, including the U.K., Canada and Japan. The disorder has been seen mainly in children younger than 10 and has left a few needing liver transplants.
@SOQ you should really be a bit more discerning. The last few times you’ve lost arguments you just trail off and start commenting on another thread. So I’ll just be nice and give you your list and leave it at that. Do me a favor though. With your obviously superior intelligence, what’s the link between the people on the list?
SOQ is a charlatan. Never backs up his bs narrative and disappears once evidence is presented. The “big farewell to the troops” was nothing more than attention seeking of a lonely bitter man from the box room of his Ma’s house.

I’m no troll. Your toxic nonsense needs to be called out.

Anyone who hurls personal insults instead of engaging with the topic is either a troll or an idiot- which is it?
You are calling nothing out- you wouldn’t have the mental capacity.

@SOQ, personal insults, mental capacity , I think you are the idiot, or you are a gold fish who forgets their own insults as soon as you post them.

Goodness- a lot of account switching going on eh?

The only one account switching is you and your alter egos.
SOQ
You are actually posting a deflection job from The Atlantic, then telling someone to be more discerning?
Robert Malone is the inventor of mNRA technology and has the patents to prove it. He was not involved in the development of the CooVid-19 experiential gene therapies- they are two separate things. But of course the Like of The Atlantic know all this but it suits to throw mud.
As for your personal BS- shove it. If you cannot debate the issue at hand without reverting to such, you have already lost the argument.
The WEF is a subversive anti democratic organisation and should be treated accordingly.

There is bound to be side effects and those vaccines were fast tracked because a plaque was consuming the world
Maybe if we would of gone down the route of the AIDS cures we would of been waiting decades
And where would we be
The Millie Obnoxious™
Still in lockdown, no doubt.
Kin
And a death toll of nearly all of our over 60s and people with cancers in the morgue instead of waiting lists
K. Cavan
Yes, Kin, where would we be?
Well, if we take all previous Coronaviruses as an indicator, which seems reasonable, we’d be here, except without the tsunami of death & injury from the fake vaccines.
Because they mutate too much, no vaccine can be created against RNA viruses like Coronaviruses, so a failed technology from the 80s was revived, then marketed, forced & imposed on people, as if it was a vaccine. Unsurprisingly, it was a total disaster, the most deadly medical intervention in human history by an enormous margin.
Meanwhile, this “plague” had no effect whatsoever on global mortality, not even one-hundreth of a percent. Nor on Irish mortality. If we had a plague in 2020, then we had a slightly bigger one in 2018. If you even bother to spend 10 minutes on the CSO website, you can confirm this, yourself.
Kin
Cavan man
I had a very mysterious virus in December 2019
It hit my respertary system and all I remember was daggers piercing my lungs my wife also got the same but different reactions
The pair of us nearly died and could not get out of bed over New Year
We were told it was a Japanese flu
When covid hit we could not get a test for love or money
But we suspected we had covid 19
When we had the jab we both had a reaction identical to the same December flu but much milder for two days
Then we had jab two then the booster
Then both of us caught covid 19 and it was identical e but this time we knew because the test showed positive and the symptoms were again identical
So I can honestly say that virus was around for months in Ireland before government told us the truth
So please less of the bull
You are no doctor or expert and you have a different take on it and you are arrogant
The one thing we can agree on is the government lied through their back teeth and did more damage than covid 19
They threw the hospitality industry to the wolves and ruined many peoples lives
They have instead of telling the whole truth told half truths and scared the living poo out of most older people
They also have the deaths on their hands of the poor souls confined to nursing homes that they filled with untested possible covid patients in the rush to clear the hospitals of old people that there was no place for in care facilities and were in hospitals unable to go home because they had little home help or a bed in a nursing home
I am fuming as I watched my business I grafted on for six years suddenly shut down by government order and we are just keeping the wolves from the door at 68 years of age with no chance now of retiring
And of course being over 67 I could not qualify for any state aid as I am on a pension
But saying all that I do believe in the vaccine and that’s all I am pointing out
I could provide you with tons of data that contradict your data so let’s just spare the insults and agree to disagree
And please no comments about my grammar
K. Cavan
The Atlantic hasn’t a shred of credibility, in fact it never did, it’s a joke, even in an utterly discredited industry like the Legacy Media. To post any of its tripe is to declare yourself utterly lacking in critical faculties.

Stephen painted himself as a financial guru and was telling everyone last month the Russian economy was on the verge of collapse. He’s at a loss now to explain the current valuation of the Ruble.
Me So Harney
100% spoofer.
stephen moran
The ruble doesn’t trade -it doesn’t matter what a screen tells you – you cannot buy any thing with it – it is worthless – try spending it on ebay / paypal / try opening a bank a/c in Rub = why is Putin paying the widows he is making in € = FACT – i actually have some Rubles form the last time I was in St Petersburg at the Hermitage – I’d be happy to given them all to you for $20 which is your current exchange rate. – Putin’s choice is whether he sets his economy back one generation he gets deposed / dies / is killed
Me So Harney
Lololololololols..
Never not spoofing..
You’ll fall on your sword like you always do..
stephen moran
explain to me why the $ is at a 20 year high – the same $ i can spend anywhere in the world as it’s the world reserve currency and always will be. I’m waiting. Tell me in detail how it will be usurped. You can’t – bluff and bluster and knownothiingism. . Keep trying to pay in those non tradable pebbles. Money is a medium of exchange – the Ruble fails that page 1 day 1 test, never mind the other qualities the qualify something as real money – you might as well open the Monopoly game under your bed – the notes in there are worth more
Me So Harney
“explain to me why the dollar is at an all time high”
Arms sales.
The dollar will be back in the bin as soon as the bad news sets in.
You should know this.
And that standard you harp on about is ropey.
The dogs on the street know it.
As the dollar burns, the US will scorch the earth trying to prop it up.
stephen moran
The correct answer is interest rate differentials – arms sales are a tiny fraction of US GDP and the US runs a massive trade deficit so trade is a net subtraction for the value of the dollar – if that was so why were the Yen and the Swiss Franc two of the strongest currencies from 19670 – 2020 ? Neither sell arms.
GDP = (I + S + G + (X-M) in the case of US : X (exports) – M (imports) is a negative number so therefore weakens the $. Arms sales make NO contribution to the $’s value. QED
Me So Harney
And with that last comment, you’re committed straight to the dustbin..
You’ve no idea what you’re talking about.. Literal nonsense..
K. Cavan
The dollar is doomed, stephen.
stephen moran
I’ll leave you to wallow in your profound ignorance. The $ is trading at a two decade high. TINA. Real interest rate differentials determine the value of a currency. i.e.. the capital account. The US runs a massive trade deficit.
GDP = (Savings + Investment + Govt expenditure + (exports – imports). X-M is a negative number for the US . A reserve currency has to run a deficit – see the Triffin paradox – that’s why the CNY cannot replace it ever – apart from about a dozen other reasons – capital controls / its convertible nature etc. etc.).
If anyone can disprove any of the above FACTS they will win the 2022 Nobel Prize for Economics.
Arms sales have NO effect on the value of the Dollar, none , zero, zilch, nada.
Par for the course, if you’re unfortunate enough to get on the wrong side of the most vicious imperialist power in human history, wouldn’t you say, stephen?

If you go onto Daft it appears that even more than ever, demand is outstripping supply – not just to purchase, but also to rent. Never have I seen so few properties advertised. Has the population really grown so much? Or is there some sort of market manipulation going on? Who knows.
The benefit of renting is flexibility and freedom from life debt, but the downside is you are the mercy of the landlords- some of whom are the most greedy God awful creatures who have ever set foot on this earth.
You are screwed either way.

‘In New Delhi, a burning rubbish dump choked residents for a third day on Thursday as temperatures crossed 45C (113F) in parts of the region. Forecasters warn it will get even hotter this weekend.’
…so you’re a climate denier now Giggser…who would have guessed?
GiggidyGoo
I’ve just linked to heatwaves over the centuries. Those change the climate, do they not?
How’s the protestant-hating going? Why do you hate all of them Bisted?
Nigel
‘ Those change the climate,’
No. ‘Heat waves’ do not change the climate, whether through natural processes or human intervention. That’s not what climate change is, either as a natural historical phenomenon or as it is currently occurring.
GiggidyGoo
Well, your link suggests that the heatwave caused the burning of a rubbish dump – burning of rubbish causes climate change. A=B=C, A=C
Heatwaves over the centuries caused burning of vegetation / forests etc. which in turn caused climate change. A=B=C, A=C
Nigel
I’m not aware of any recorded occurence of a fire caused by a heat wave producing enough smoke and gas to directly affect the climate, certainly not on the scale or in the time-frame as human-produced greenhouse gases. Cumulatively over centuries, perhaps, but how significant a change? Plus its easier to adapt to long slow changes than it is to short sudden ones.
Massive heat-waves do create conditions that makes fires more likely, in this case water shortages and the nature of big rubbish fores makes them difficult to extinguish and the resulting air pollution is horrific.
it’s weird, you seem to take issue with the idea of the heatwave causing the fire in your first paragraph, then assert that heat-waves do cause fires in your second?
I think it’s worth noting that over the millennia wildfires in forests and on grass plains played a regenerative role, or at least were part of a cycle where the eco-system restores and reseeds itself after widlfires. That is not occuring in modern times. Forests destroyed by fires are not regenerating due to changes in climate, poor land management and frequency of fires.
GiggidyGoo
‘it’s weird, you seem to take issue with the idea of the heatwave causing the fire in your first paragraph’
Take issue? re-read or try to understand what’s written.
Nigel
Hey, don’t get defensive when queried for a point of clarity. Fair enough, you agree that heatwaves cause – or at least create ideal conditions for – wildfires.
Me So Harney
And arson.
Nigel
You do get that the droughts and heatwaves create the conditions whereby acts of arson turn into massive wildfires, right?
K. Cavan
What’s a “climate denier” bisted?
Nigel
Who claimed heatwaves are something new? Where did they claim it?
GiggidyGoo
Just pointing out to you that they’re not new. As they aren’t new, why are you posting a link as if they were unusual?
bisted
…no doubt you have a link to the number of hottest years recorded over the last century Giggser…
Nigel
Well that’s amazing, heatwaves are not new, fancy that.
What’s unusual – except it’s not ‘unusual’ per se because it’s been wel-flagged – is that they’re getting more frequent and more severe, and are trending to get even more frequent and more severe.
Also, massive unseasonal heat-waves aaffecting millions of people are newsworthy in and of themselves, surely.
GiggidyGoo
@bisted. If you need such a link, GIYF
bisted
…don’t need a link Giggser…most of the hottest years recorded in the past century happened in the last decade…
GiggidyGoo
@bisted. Quote your sources. Link would be useful – no doubt you’ll have one.
It seems our Chicken Licken brigade think we have accurate statistics, observation & recording of unusual weather going back centuries. The recording & reporting of such events has improved & that’s what we’re witnessing. Basing any predictions of climate change on decades of information is utter nonsense, the equivalent of looking out on a rainy day & declaring the climate is getting wetter.
Man-made climate change is happening but carbon is causing far less of it than multiple other factors, the most impactful being farming which, like the use of carbon, is unavoidable.
If we heat up the planet, we’re merely staving off the coming ice age, which is quite likely to wipe us out. We’re not going to be around when any damage we’ve done becomes a real problem.
This is dreadfully myopic junk popular science, to steer the masses in the direction desired by the Oligarchs, the one thing we really can’t afford, any more.
It’s either them or us & the climate change con is designed to make sure it’s them.
Nigel
Climate change isn’t primarily caused by carbon but by farming which produces carbon.
Really outdone yourself with that one.
Still love the idea that the oligarchs, unbelievably rich off fossil fuels, started a global decades-long fake crisis to which the solution is stopping the use of fossil fuels. Just a perfect encapsulation of the paranoid fantasist mindset.
Compared to some of your lengthier rants, it’s swetness and light.

SOQ
This comment is not anti British- more general- but it comes into focus with the British media painting mercenaries who were killed in Ukraine as some sort of patriots. They are not, they are killers for hire- that is what they do- and one of the hazards of the job is that they may actually get killed themselves.
If the Russians were offering twice or three times the salary, how many would switch sides?
scottser
well the russians seem to be going around Donbas hoovering up thousands of local men and coercing them into their front lines so they won’t be needing your expensive foreign imports, thank you very much. or indeed the geneva convention for that matter.
bisted
…not like those millions of Ukrainian males over 18 who have opted to stay and fight the Russians…
K. Cavan
In case you don’t know, bisted, no men of fighting age have been allowed out of Ukraine since the operation began, even those who dragged up were caught at the border. Even the sort of junk media you have faith in has reported this. Do keep up.
SOQ
It’s not the Russians who conscripted all Ukrainian men 16-60 and are sending them to the front line with two days training.
There are images all over the place of the bodies pilled up while mass graves are being dug. And those are bodies of middle aged men, not young soldiers.
That is being done by the puppet Zelenskyy regime on a scale the Russians could not possibly manage- to their own people- literal cannon fodder. Geneva convention you say? Let’s start there.
Nigel
I think a country that has been invaded by another has the right to conscript its citizens for its defense. It’s not like getting lots of young men to join the army then sending them off to fight and die in a foreign country with poor leadership, equipment and supplies, purely to satisfy the ambitions and ego of one man.
If the Russians are forcing Ukrainians to joining their army -THAT’S a war crime.
If the Russians are deporting up to a million Ukrainians into Russia, spereating children from their families – which they admit to – THAT’S a war crime – sepcifically genocide.
bisted
…mmm…separating children from their families…keeping them in cages…oops…made that last bit up…
Nigel
Are you okay with that?
bisted
…off course you think it’s right to conscript those Ukrainians…sleepy Joe has consistently vowed to fight to the last Ukrainian…
Nigel
I don’t think it’s okay, it’s just hardly surprising, when a country gets invaded, is it? You know what would have prevented conscription? Russia not invading. Also, Russia not forcibly conscripting captured Ukrainians.
Joe Biden, of course, made no such vow, that’s a lie.
Nigel
By the way, I noticed you dodged answering about whether you think Russia deporting a million Ukrainians and effectively fidnapping thousands of childre is okay or not.
bisted
…is that why, just yesterday, he pledged all those additional billions to the Ukrainians to fight the Russians…better watch out though…getting very close to the figure Obama gave to the zionists…they will not be amused…
bisted
…sorry Nigel…we seem to be at cross purposes…I was talking about the kids who were kept in cages while their parents were deported from the US…
Nigel
No. It’s a rhetorical flourish made up for people who support Putin’s warmongering to repeat mindlessly when confronted with the fact that he is the one responsible for this conflict, and who blame Ukrainians defending themselves for prolonging the war.
I know what you were talking about -anything other than what Putin is doing.
SOQ
This is no longer funny- why is his family allowing it to continue? Surely there has to be some sort of compos mentis tests they can do?
So it’s all to do with Putin, is it Nigel? It’s weird that Putin is a madman who’s intent on invading a country for no reason whatsoever, that Saddam was a madman with WMDs, that Assad was a madman who used chemical weapons in a war he was winning, that Gadaffi was a madman, too, every single one of the enemies of the planet’s most warlike nation is a madman. Then those Afghan Taliban, they were sane when they fought the Russian invasion but madmen when the US invaded.
What a huge set of coincidences, eh?
Nigel
Who said he’s mad and doesn’t have reasons for invading? Oh, nobody, as usual with your straw men.
scottser
‘It’s not the Russians who conscripted all Ukrainian men 16-60 and are sending them to the front line with two days training.’
it is exactly this. russians are forcibly conscripting ukranian men and sending them to the front lines with sod all training and weapons.
Nigel
Almost as if they’re a cross between ‘human shield’ and ‘cannon fodder.’ Poor sods.
SOQ
How could the Russians conscript all Ukrainian men 16-60 and send them to the front line? It is the Ukrainian government who has banned them from leaving the country.
Since when does an army give the captured enemy guns?
Nigel
Russia has a history of handing guns to young men and telling them to charge the enemy while pointing machine guns at them and mowing down anyone who objects or rretreats.
SOQ
You have some sort of link to back that claim up I expect?
Nigel
I see I’m wrong about the machine gunniing bit! Apologies for spreading misinformation. However the concept of Barrier Troops is what I was thinking of – units deployed to prevent retreat and desertion by unreliable units, like, say, forcibly conscripted Ukrainians (and they were ordered to shoot retreating/deserting soldiers during WW1, but possibly not machine-gunning. Careless of me, sorry.)
So like the Azov Nazis threatening to shoot anyone trying to leave the Azovstal steelworks kind of thing?
What is interesting about that is- the Russians have stated that anyone can surrender, so there is nothing stopping the wounded and /or women and children leaving.
Well… nothing on the outside anyways.
Nigel
Like thw Azov Nazis are alleged to be doing by Russian propaganda and Russian propaganda pushers, yes. Seee? You knew how it could be done all along.
Funny how you seem to think the Ukrainians can trust the Russians, or ought to want to surrender to them.
SOQ
Forget all the propaganda and apply some bloody common sense.
If there are wounded and women and children in that steelworks and if they have free will- then why aren’t they just surrendering?
Nigel
Because they don’t want to, and/or they’re more scared of the Russians than of staying in the factory, and/or they’re genuinely patriotic and heroic and courageous people fighting for their freedom.
SOQ
IT IS SERIOUSLY WOUNDED AND MOTHERS AND CHILREN???
No common sense applied so.
Nigel
Russians have been killing and wounding mothers and children for over a month now, by the thousand. What else can they hope to expect from the Russians?
bisted
…can I just mention that during the unholy alliance of sleepy Joe, O’Bama and crooked Hillary, eight countries were bombed…tens of thousands of women and children were maimed and killed…the biggest difference is that they were the goodies…
anti bot
bisted get off the Trump dxxk licking websites. Sleepy Joe and crooked Hillary? How childish are you? when were they in alliance. Surprised you didn’t make a racist remark about Obama. Do you think it is acceptable to invade another country and kill innocent people? Yes or no? If no condemn the invasion of Ukraine. Go on, I dare you to grow a pair and answer.
Nigel
You canmention it all you want, it won’t change what Putin’s doing – or the fact that I did not support those interventions.
K. Cavan
No they’re not, scottser, what an idiotic suggestion.
K. Cavan
Scottser, you actually think someone has observed the Russians doing this & rang someone up about it?
Maybe check out their home media – Syria? Chechnya? – to see how they’re being portrayed? How about in Russian media?
K. Cavan
Where do you reckon the Russians are getting these mercenaries from, Nigel, apart from your imagination, that is?
You’re just taking the pee with this list of unsubstantiated accusations against Russia, nobody has any idea what’s going on in Ukraine, the idea that we have accurate information about an ongoing battle is ridiculous.
You’re just making a fool of yourself with your fictional commentary, what a spoofer you are.
Nigel
Well you said it was already over on day one, so you DEFINITELY don’t have a clue what’s going on.
Do you have carpet in your kitchen and bathroom ?
Do you drink the equivalent of 40 bottles of vodka a year ?

https://threadsirish.substack.com/api/v1/file/30ad6944-0eb6-441a-b6be-369bebadbc00.pdf
SOQ is a charlatan. Never backs up his bs narrative and disappears once evidence is presented. The “big farewell to the troops” was nothing more than attention seeking of a lonely bitter man from the box room of his Ma’s house.
Troll.
I’m no troll. Your toxic nonsense needs to be called out.
Anyone who hurls personal insults instead of engaging with the topic is either a troll or an idiot- which is it?
You are calling nothing out- you wouldn’t have the mental capacity.
@SOQ, personal insults, mental capacity , I think you are the idiot, or you are a gold fish who forgets their own insults as soon as you post them.
Where did your legs go, Tom?
What makes you think my legs went anywhere? Me So.
Work it out Tommy..
@ Me So, my name is Tom J, not fcuking Tommy.
” Anyone who hurls personal insults instead of engaging with the topic is either a troll or an idiot- which is it? ”
Do one ?
Goodness- a lot of account switching going on eh?
The only one account switching is you and your alter egos.
You are actually posting a deflection job from The Atlantic, then telling someone to be more discerning?
Robert Malone is the inventor of mNRA technology and has the patents to prove it. He was not involved in the development of the CooVid-19 experiential gene therapies- they are two separate things. But of course the Like of The Atlantic know all this but it suits to throw mud.
As for your personal BS- shove it. If you cannot debate the issue at hand without reverting to such, you have already lost the argument.
The WEF is a subversive anti democratic organisation and should be treated accordingly.
Keep on posting SOQ, ignore the idiots..
I think he is ignoring you.
Pot kettle
Pot kettle, what are you on about.
You know exactly, Tom..
Yeah, right.
You didn’t address the WEF. I gave you the list. What now?
No messing though, you must genuinely have a lot of time on your hands. Your posting record is incredible. Why don’t you write an article? Maybe you’ll do better than all of those and them.
Thank you, my posting record must be getting near half that of Nigel’s by this stage.
“With your obviously superior intelligence, what’s the link between the people on the list?”
Ummm… is it that they’re all Irish people of influence and all members of the WEF?
Did I win?
Please lay off him
There is bound to be side effects and those vaccines were fast tracked because a plaque was consuming the world
Maybe if we would of gone down the route of the AIDS cures we would of been waiting decades
And where would we be
Still in lockdown, no doubt.
And a death toll of nearly all of our over 60s and people with cancers in the morgue instead of waiting lists
Yes, Kin, where would we be?
Well, if we take all previous Coronaviruses as an indicator, which seems reasonable, we’d be here, except without the tsunami of death & injury from the fake vaccines.
Because they mutate too much, no vaccine can be created against RNA viruses like Coronaviruses, so a failed technology from the 80s was revived, then marketed, forced & imposed on people, as if it was a vaccine. Unsurprisingly, it was a total disaster, the most deadly medical intervention in human history by an enormous margin.
Meanwhile, this “plague” had no effect whatsoever on global mortality, not even one-hundreth of a percent. Nor on Irish mortality. If we had a plague in 2020, then we had a slightly bigger one in 2018. If you even bother to spend 10 minutes on the CSO website, you can confirm this, yourself.
Cavan man
I had a very mysterious virus in December 2019
It hit my respertary system and all I remember was daggers piercing my lungs my wife also got the same but different reactions
The pair of us nearly died and could not get out of bed over New Year
We were told it was a Japanese flu
When covid hit we could not get a test for love or money
But we suspected we had covid 19
When we had the jab we both had a reaction identical to the same December flu but much milder for two days
Then we had jab two then the booster
Then both of us caught covid 19 and it was identical e but this time we knew because the test showed positive and the symptoms were again identical
So I can honestly say that virus was around for months in Ireland before government told us the truth
So please less of the bull
You are no doctor or expert and you have a different take on it and you are arrogant
The one thing we can agree on is the government lied through their back teeth and did more damage than covid 19
They threw the hospitality industry to the wolves and ruined many peoples lives
They have instead of telling the whole truth told half truths and scared the living poo out of most older people
They also have the deaths on their hands of the poor souls confined to nursing homes that they filled with untested possible covid patients in the rush to clear the hospitals of old people that there was no place for in care facilities and were in hospitals unable to go home because they had little home help or a bed in a nursing home
I am fuming as I watched my business I grafted on for six years suddenly shut down by government order and we are just keeping the wolves from the door at 68 years of age with no chance now of retiring
And of course being over 67 I could not qualify for any state aid as I am on a pension
But saying all that I do believe in the vaccine and that’s all I am pointing out
I could provide you with tons of data that contradict your data so let’s just spare the insults and agree to disagree
And please no comments about my grammar
The Atlantic hasn’t a shred of credibility, in fact it never did, it’s a joke, even in an utterly discredited industry like the Legacy Media. To post any of its tripe is to declare yourself utterly lacking in critical faculties.
Just a point on that interview with Robert- one of those things when you see it you cannot un see it. The unfortunate skin colour of the interviewer’s trousers- it looks like he is not wearing any.
(*ω*)
@SOQ
I don’t think just sitting there nodding your head constitutes an interview.
You watched the whole interview obviously, not just the snippet I linked to?
@ SOQ, No I switched on the children’s channel and watched Noddy and Big ears.

I haven’t a clue what you are talking about – I know nowt about Canada nor have I EVER posted about it here bar the odd well deserved barbs at self indulgent self delusional truck drivers with their first world problems FYI – found any countries out of the 164 that have defaulted since 1960 that did so because of terrorism ? – no, thought not
The $ is trading at a 20 years high on a fully trad weighted basis this morning btw – seems talk of its demise was greatly exaggerated by some people – checks notes
Self indulgent self delusional truck drivers with their first world problems like not being able to earn a living because of useless leper passes, and having their bank accounts frozen you mean?
Self indulgent self delusional truck drivers with their first world problems who caused a near collapse of the Canadian banking system, when everyone started to pull their money out of the banks in support perhaps?
In relative terms compared to war crimes conducted systematically by the real life Nazi’s invading a sovereign independent country hell bent on neo-Czarist imperialism – eh YES all day and everyday

“I haven’t a clue..”
You certainly don’t stephen, that was never in doubt..
Guess which other currency is running on an all time high?
Lololololololols
One currency is the worlds reserve currency – the other one doesn’t trade – i – if you want 3 pebbles for a $ today instead of 5 yesterday it makes not difference – try actually spending those pebbles in the real world – even Putin is paying the war widows her created in € (€138 is the going rate and a pair of new boots so his son can get killed in 20 years time in another of Russia’s losing neo-Czarist shows of failed imperialism.)
More desperate bbc babble..
Meanwhile all the illegal bloodthirsty mercs that aren’t being vaporised are either being voluntarily starved or sent off on holiday to sunny Siberia..
And their families get nothing.
Stephen painted himself as a financial guru and was telling everyone last month the Russian economy was on the verge of collapse. He’s at a loss now to explain the current valuation of the Ruble.
100% spoofer.
The ruble doesn’t trade -it doesn’t matter what a screen tells you – you cannot buy any thing with it – it is worthless – try spending it on ebay / paypal / try opening a bank a/c in Rub = why is Putin paying the widows he is making in € = FACT – i actually have some Rubles form the last time I was in St Petersburg at the Hermitage – I’d be happy to given them all to you for $20 which is your current exchange rate. – Putin’s choice is whether he sets his economy back one generation he gets deposed / dies / is killed
Lololololololols..
Never not spoofing..
You’ll fall on your sword like you always do..
explain to me why the $ is at a 20 year high – the same $ i can spend anywhere in the world as it’s the world reserve currency and always will be. I’m waiting. Tell me in detail how it will be usurped. You can’t – bluff and bluster and knownothiingism. . Keep trying to pay in those non tradable pebbles. Money is a medium of exchange – the Ruble fails that page 1 day 1 test, never mind the other qualities the qualify something as real money – you might as well open the Monopoly game under your bed – the notes in there are worth more
“explain to me why the dollar is at an all time high”
Arms sales.
The dollar will be back in the bin as soon as the bad news sets in.
You should know this.
And that standard you harp on about is ropey.
The dogs on the street know it.
As the dollar burns, the US will scorch the earth trying to prop it up.
The correct answer is interest rate differentials – arms sales are a tiny fraction of US GDP and the US runs a massive trade deficit so trade is a net subtraction for the value of the dollar – if that was so why were the Yen and the Swiss Franc two of the strongest currencies from 19670 – 2020 ? Neither sell arms.
GDP = (I + S + G + (X-M) in the case of US : X (exports) – M (imports) is a negative number so therefore weakens the $. Arms sales make NO contribution to the $’s value. QED
And with that last comment, you’re committed straight to the dustbin..
You’ve no idea what you’re talking about.. Literal nonsense..
The dollar is doomed, stephen.
I’ll leave you to wallow in your profound ignorance. The $ is trading at a two decade high. TINA. Real interest rate differentials determine the value of a currency. i.e.. the capital account. The US runs a massive trade deficit.
GDP = (Savings + Investment + Govt expenditure + (exports – imports). X-M is a negative number for the US . A reserve currency has to run a deficit – see the Triffin paradox – that’s why the CNY cannot replace it ever – apart from about a dozen other reasons – capital controls / its convertible nature etc. etc.).
If anyone can disprove any of the above FACTS they will win the 2022 Nobel Prize for Economics.
Arms sales have NO effect on the value of the Dollar, none , zero, zilch, nada.
Waffle waffle triffin paradox waffler gonna waffle..
Never not waffling..
Par for the course, if you’re unfortunate enough to get on the wrong side of the most vicious imperialist power in human history, wouldn’t you say, stephen?

It’s a pyramid scheme
Only one likely outcome now sadly
The yanks are itching that this war in Ukraine lasts years with the possibility of expanding
There is a crash on the way and when that happens those on new mortgages god love them
It’s going to be a blood bath and especially as nothing was learnt from the last crash
Itching for it so bad they kept telling Putin not to invade.
Yes, that’s correct Nigel. If everyone just did what America told them, there’d be no more wars, right?
There wouldn’t have been this one, anyway.
Do you think it’s got much further to go?
I don’t even bother thinking about buying a property anymore. Waste of time.
If you go onto Daft it appears that even more than ever, demand is outstripping supply – not just to purchase, but also to rent. Never have I seen so few properties advertised. Has the population really grown so much? Or is there some sort of market manipulation going on? Who knows.
The benefit of renting is flexibility and freedom from life debt, but the downside is you are the mercy of the landlords- some of whom are the most greedy God awful creatures who have ever set foot on this earth.
You are screwed either way.
One thing is for certain, while we have still have self serving globalist lackeys in power who put the interests of multi national corporations ahead of the people, nothing is ever going to change.
Not dealing with housing, or rather, actively encouraging buy to let and Co-living (!!) is what is going to put SF into government. I know there is a view about that they will implode and we will return to normal service. But, what if they manage it?
Sinn Fein will only achieve power if they’re committed to changing nothing, which they very much are.
Liberal Democracy is a busted flush, it’s no longer Liberal or Democratic.
100% agree with you here.
Although I don’t use the word globalist. Bit like “going forward”. I thought neoliberalism was the term?
Oh, things are going to change, SOQ, just not for the better.
Well, if the government have their way, they’ll be taking control of that newly-bought property, shortly.
You’ll own nothing…

Heatwaves are nothing new Nigel. Here – have a gander at centuries of them.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_heat_waves
…so you’re a climate denier now Giggser…who would have guessed?
I’ve just linked to heatwaves over the centuries. Those change the climate, do they not?
How’s the protestant-hating going? Why do you hate all of them Bisted?
‘ Those change the climate,’
No. ‘Heat waves’ do not change the climate, whether through natural processes or human intervention. That’s not what climate change is, either as a natural historical phenomenon or as it is currently occurring.
Well, your link suggests that the heatwave caused the burning of a rubbish dump – burning of rubbish causes climate change. A=B=C, A=C
Heatwaves over the centuries caused burning of vegetation / forests etc. which in turn caused climate change. A=B=C, A=C
I’m not aware of any recorded occurence of a fire caused by a heat wave producing enough smoke and gas to directly affect the climate, certainly not on the scale or in the time-frame as human-produced greenhouse gases. Cumulatively over centuries, perhaps, but how significant a change? Plus its easier to adapt to long slow changes than it is to short sudden ones.
Massive heat-waves do create conditions that makes fires more likely, in this case water shortages and the nature of big rubbish fores makes them difficult to extinguish and the resulting air pollution is horrific.
it’s weird, you seem to take issue with the idea of the heatwave causing the fire in your first paragraph, then assert that heat-waves do cause fires in your second?
I think it’s worth noting that over the millennia wildfires in forests and on grass plains played a regenerative role, or at least were part of a cycle where the eco-system restores and reseeds itself after widlfires. That is not occuring in modern times. Forests destroyed by fires are not regenerating due to changes in climate, poor land management and frequency of fires.
‘it’s weird, you seem to take issue with the idea of the heatwave causing the fire in your first paragraph’
Take issue? re-read or try to understand what’s written.
Hey, don’t get defensive when queried for a point of clarity. Fair enough, you agree that heatwaves cause – or at least create ideal conditions for – wildfires.
And arson.
You do get that the droughts and heatwaves create the conditions whereby acts of arson turn into massive wildfires, right?
What’s a “climate denier” bisted?
Who claimed heatwaves are something new? Where did they claim it?
Just pointing out to you that they’re not new. As they aren’t new, why are you posting a link as if they were unusual?
…no doubt you have a link to the number of hottest years recorded over the last century Giggser…
Well that’s amazing, heatwaves are not new, fancy that.
What’s unusual – except it’s not ‘unusual’ per se because it’s been wel-flagged – is that they’re getting more frequent and more severe, and are trending to get even more frequent and more severe.
Also, massive unseasonal heat-waves aaffecting millions of people are newsworthy in and of themselves, surely.
@bisted. If you need such a link, GIYF
…don’t need a link Giggser…most of the hottest years recorded in the past century happened in the last decade…
@bisted. Quote your sources. Link would be useful – no doubt you’ll have one.

It seems our Chicken Licken brigade think we have accurate statistics, observation & recording of unusual weather going back centuries. The recording & reporting of such events has improved & that’s what we’re witnessing. Basing any predictions of climate change on decades of information is utter nonsense, the equivalent of looking out on a rainy day & declaring the climate is getting wetter.
Man-made climate change is happening but carbon is causing far less of it than multiple other factors, the most impactful being farming which, like the use of carbon, is unavoidable.
If we heat up the planet, we’re merely staving off the coming ice age, which is quite likely to wipe us out. We’re not going to be around when any damage we’ve done becomes a real problem.
This is dreadfully myopic junk popular science, to steer the masses in the direction desired by the Oligarchs, the one thing we really can’t afford, any more.
It’s either them or us & the climate change con is designed to make sure it’s them.
Climate change isn’t primarily caused by carbon but by farming which produces carbon.
Really outdone yourself with that one.
Still love the idea that the oligarchs, unbelievably rich off fossil fuels, started a global decades-long fake crisis to which the solution is stopping the use of fossil fuels. Just a perfect encapsulation of the paranoid fantasist mindset.

No, it’s fuel from a corroded pipe. Says so right there.
This comment is not anti British- more general- but it comes into focus with the British media painting mercenaries who were killed in Ukraine as some sort of patriots. They are not, they are killers for hire- that is what they do- and one of the hazards of the job is that they may actually get killed themselves.
If the Russians were offering twice or three times the salary, how many would switch sides?
well the russians seem to be going around Donbas hoovering up thousands of local men and coercing them into their front lines so they won’t be needing your expensive foreign imports, thank you very much. or indeed the geneva convention for that matter.
…not like those millions of Ukrainian males over 18 who have opted to stay and fight the Russians…
In case you don’t know, bisted, no men of fighting age have been allowed out of Ukraine since the operation began, even those who dragged up were caught at the border. Even the sort of junk media you have faith in has reported this. Do keep up.
It’s not the Russians who conscripted all Ukrainian men 16-60 and are sending them to the front line with two days training.
There are images all over the place of the bodies pilled up while mass graves are being dug. And those are bodies of middle aged men, not young soldiers.
That is being done by the puppet Zelenskyy regime on a scale the Russians could not possibly manage- to their own people- literal cannon fodder. Geneva convention you say? Let’s start there.
I think a country that has been invaded by another has the right to conscript its citizens for its defense. It’s not like getting lots of young men to join the army then sending them off to fight and die in a foreign country with poor leadership, equipment and supplies, purely to satisfy the ambitions and ego of one man.
If the Russians are forcing Ukrainians to joining their army -THAT’S a war crime.
If the Russians are deporting up to a million Ukrainians into Russia, spereating children from their families – which they admit to – THAT’S a war crime – sepcifically genocide.
…mmm…separating children from their families…keeping them in cages…oops…made that last bit up…
Are you okay with that?
…off course you think it’s right to conscript those Ukrainians…sleepy Joe has consistently vowed to fight to the last Ukrainian…
I don’t think it’s okay, it’s just hardly surprising, when a country gets invaded, is it? You know what would have prevented conscription? Russia not invading. Also, Russia not forcibly conscripting captured Ukrainians.
Joe Biden, of course, made no such vow, that’s a lie.
By the way, I noticed you dodged answering about whether you think Russia deporting a million Ukrainians and effectively fidnapping thousands of childre is okay or not.
…is that why, just yesterday, he pledged all those additional billions to the Ukrainians to fight the Russians…better watch out though…getting very close to the figure Obama gave to the zionists…they will not be amused…
…sorry Nigel…we seem to be at cross purposes…I was talking about the kids who were kept in cages while their parents were deported from the US…
No. It’s a rhetorical flourish made up for people who support Putin’s warmongering to repeat mindlessly when confronted with the fact that he is the one responsible for this conflict, and who blame Ukrainians defending themselves for prolonging the war.
I know what you were talking about -anything other than what Putin is doing.
This is no longer funny- why is his family allowing it to continue? Surely there has to be some sort of compos mentis tests they can do?
https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/other/biden-s-brain-broke-with-yet-another-cringeworthy-gaffe/vi-AAWIEFr
So it’s all to do with Putin, is it Nigel? It’s weird that Putin is a madman who’s intent on invading a country for no reason whatsoever, that Saddam was a madman with WMDs, that Assad was a madman who used chemical weapons in a war he was winning, that Gadaffi was a madman, too, every single one of the enemies of the planet’s most warlike nation is a madman. Then those Afghan Taliban, they were sane when they fought the Russian invasion but madmen when the US invaded.
What a huge set of coincidences, eh?
Who said he’s mad and doesn’t have reasons for invading? Oh, nobody, as usual with your straw men.
‘It’s not the Russians who conscripted all Ukrainian men 16-60 and are sending them to the front line with two days training.’
it is exactly this. russians are forcibly conscripting ukranian men and sending them to the front lines with sod all training and weapons.
Almost as if they’re a cross between ‘human shield’ and ‘cannon fodder.’ Poor sods.
How could the Russians conscript all Ukrainian men 16-60 and send them to the front line? It is the Ukrainian government who has banned them from leaving the country.
Since when does an army give the captured enemy guns?
Russia has a history of handing guns to young men and telling them to charge the enemy while pointing machine guns at them and mowing down anyone who objects or rretreats.
You have some sort of link to back that claim up I expect?
I see I’m wrong about the machine gunniing bit! Apologies for spreading misinformation. However the concept of Barrier Troops is what I was thinking of – units deployed to prevent retreat and desertion by unreliable units, like, say, forcibly conscripted Ukrainians (and they were ordered to shoot retreating/deserting soldiers during WW1, but possibly not machine-gunning. Careless of me, sorry.)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrier_troops#In_the_Red_Army
So like the Azov Nazis threatening to shoot anyone trying to leave the Azovstal steelworks kind of thing?
What is interesting about that is- the Russians have stated that anyone can surrender, so there is nothing stopping the wounded and /or women and children leaving.
Well… nothing on the outside anyways.
Like thw Azov Nazis are alleged to be doing by Russian propaganda and Russian propaganda pushers, yes. Seee? You knew how it could be done all along.
Funny how you seem to think the Ukrainians can trust the Russians, or ought to want to surrender to them.
Forget all the propaganda and apply some bloody common sense.
If there are wounded and women and children in that steelworks and if they have free will- then why aren’t they just surrendering?
Because they don’t want to, and/or they’re more scared of the Russians than of staying in the factory, and/or they’re genuinely patriotic and heroic and courageous people fighting for their freedom.
IT IS SERIOUSLY WOUNDED AND MOTHERS AND CHILREN???
No common sense applied so.
Russians have been killing and wounding mothers and children for over a month now, by the thousand. What else can they hope to expect from the Russians?
…can I just mention that during the unholy alliance of sleepy Joe, O’Bama and crooked Hillary, eight countries were bombed…tens of thousands of women and children were maimed and killed…the biggest difference is that they were the goodies…
bisted get off the Trump dxxk licking websites. Sleepy Joe and crooked Hillary? How childish are you? when were they in alliance. Surprised you didn’t make a racist remark about Obama. Do you think it is acceptable to invade another country and kill innocent people? Yes or no? If no condemn the invasion of Ukraine. Go on, I dare you to grow a pair and answer.
You canmention it all you want, it won’t change what Putin’s doing – or the fact that I did not support those interventions.
No they’re not, scottser, what an idiotic suggestion.
Scottser, you actually think someone has observed the Russians doing this & rang someone up about it?
https://www.reuters.com/world/conscripts-sent-fight-by-pro-russia-donbas-get-little-training-old-rifles-poor-2022-04-04/
These are conscripts to pro-russian militias all over Donbas.
Their job is to draw enemy fire so the regular units can identify Ukrainian positions.
You know, people might take you more seriously if stopped with the childish name calling.
Are you seriously acting as if Russia does NOT have paid mercenaries in its service?
Not at all- how many British do you think?
One thing is for certain- if any of them get killed, you won’t be reading about it in the British media.
Except for a massive picture on the front of today’s Telegraph obvs …
Of a mercenary killed fighting for Ukraine- what is you point caller?
Britain is the ‘rent a killer’ centre of the world apparently- along with being the third largest exporter of arms of course.
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/feb/03/britain-g4s-at-centre-of-global-mercenary-industry-says-charity
Maybe check out their home media – Syria? Chechnya? – to see how they’re being portrayed? How about in Russian media?
Where do you reckon the Russians are getting these mercenaries from, Nigel, apart from your imagination, that is?
You’re just taking the pee with this list of unsubstantiated accusations against Russia, nobody has any idea what’s going on in Ukraine, the idea that we have accurate information about an ongoing battle is ridiculous.
You’re just making a fool of yourself with your fictional commentary, what a spoofer you are.
Well you said it was already over on day one, so you DEFINITELY don’t have a clue what’s going on.
