​Yesterday I had Chinese food with fortune cookies . . . (it's a law to include them in all 50 states, US territories and Canada too, I heard 😀 Any other countries have this rule also?) . . . so I wondered, why? What’s the attraction or purpose? Many, many moons ago, a school trip to New York City and a Chinatown restaurant led to my first fortune cookie, saying I would soon receive a letter. Sure enough, I got one shortly afterwards, an envelope addressed to me directly, at age 8 or 9. I only came to understand the process many decades later; questions remain.
================================================
A reader asks an unrelated, but currently relevant question:
Millions of people in Europe and the US have received the covid jabs. Will there be revealed serious and widespread side effects of this as the months and years unfold? It seems like we are witnessing the world's largest medical experiment on humans. (I assume "covid jab" means a vaccine injection or inoculation. "Jab" to me is what Muhammad Ali applied to another boxer's face.👊🏽)
C:     Yes, this is a large medical experiment, well stated. Widespread effects geographically, yes. Common as in a high percentage of vaccine recipients? No. Adverse reactions will occur to some people, as happens with all vaccines, inoculations and immunizations. This is and will continue to be a similar variance as occurs with the disease itself. Long term effects will be minuscule; what remains to be seen is how much these incidents are inflated to instill fear. This fright approach has been used with great effect so far; how many of the immunized are wearing or being told to wear masks, still?   

We haven't done any for a while, but recently two readers sunk the drought; we're submerged and hydrated.

China and USA
Q:        I thought the Biden administration was going to lessen hostility against China, but it seems to be acting tough all the same; and China is becoming even more belligerent. What is going on, are the US and China just being theatrical (i.e. talking tough but actually working on some form of détente)?
C:        China knows the former USA president has been deposed in an election coup d'etat in which they participated. This means little to no retribution or retaliation for the virus release they feared would come to pass and moreover, a new softening of the USA's reaction.
The Biden Administration is putting up the tough appearance to counter accusations, largely true, that Biden is compromised by previous dealings with Chinese trade and business.

Q:       Or are we going to see further polarization of the world (and/or a new cold war) between democratic states (English speaking countries, EU, Japan, and South Korea) and the totalitarian states (China, Russia, North Korea, Sudan, etc.)?
C:       Not or; also.

Q:      Biden is forecast to step-down before completion of his first term. I remember reading a forecast on the current ruler of China also stepping up to assume a more ceremonial role in 2021. Will a more "moderate" ruler emerge in China in 2021 to allow for a détente?
C:        This decision is not final, and is subject to the understanding of moderate versus less so, a moving definition. No détente will emerge, no Mexican stand-off between China and the USA. China will continue to press for its interests, to the detriment of the USA if necessary.

Q:        Atrocity against the Uyghurs in China. I just found out that concentration camps (a.k.a. re-education camps) for about 2 million Uyghurs are actually popular among non-Uyghurs. When I asked non-Uyghur Chinese how they would like to be locked up in these camps, they usually responded that was not a worry because only ethnic minorities like Uyghurs or Tibetans would be locked up. The Chinese rulers are likely going to continue the oppression, in the name of pro-actively preventing terrorist act (by the Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities). Is there anything we can do about this?
C:        Many things, but at what cost? The rulers will make certain the opposition perceives a high cost, which the rulers hope the opposition believes excessively high and therefore will not act. This is true. 

Mass shooting and anti-Oriental bashing in the US
Q:        Just when the coronavirus vaccine is being issued, covering >30% of Americans through end of March 2021, Americans finally can resume their normal lives. Then comes weekly mass shootings and daily attack on Oriental women and elderly. What is going on? Suddenly the armed loonies and cowards are all coming out to shoot the innocent and beat up on the weak?
C:        Americans are being discouraged from resumption of life before pandemic rules and commands. Despite widespread vaccination, many calls for continued use of masks are coming from all quarters. One must ask, which is the hoax, the mask or the vaccine?

Mass killing events are weekly everywhere on Earth and not unique to the USA. Focus upon all of them.

The armed loonies are everywhere and have done this with regularity. Nothing has changed in this regard.

No concerted, coordinated attacks against victims of Asian descent or heritage are being done, this is random. The differences in race between attacker and victim are being emphasized to maintain inflation of the racism theme. It has worked political wonders; it distracted many voters and has been successfully implanted into the minds of many more. Some nasty attacks DO originate with disgust for the gender, race or the color of the target, but these are a tiny exception. Most targets are identified because of weakness thus easy ability for the attacker to express own frustration, own weakness and own internal trauma with little worry about resistance.      

2021 Olympics
North Korea just announced it would skip the 2021 Olympics. Are we going to have an Olympic Game in 2021? Is this the last (or next to the last) Olympic Game, because the demise of long distance transportation will make future Olympics impossible?
C:        Yes, however the games will be reduced. Olympic games will continue, transportation long distance will not disappear but it will be slower and often too expensive for most current traveler habits, perceptions and preferences.  
 
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD
a.        What causes some people to get it and others not? 
C:        Several factors, some of them part of the reactor's life plan and agreement. This event occurs and the person witnesses or participates, both parts of the agreement.
 
b.        Why can a person live through something traumatic to them and be fine but others end up with it?
C:        Less affected; the seemingly unaffected, are also touched. It is just not as visible.
           
b.        Can it be treated homeopathically?
C:        Rarely and infrequently enough to say, no. It can be treated with acceptance. The affected person requires a corresponding, counterbalancing positive effect. This is best done with acceptance and compassion given to the affected person by a group of friends or loved ones. Concern from a loved one followed by the loved one sending the affected person to treatment, amounts to rejection; the affected person feels s/he is broken and being sent to a mechanic for repair. This is not what works, the affected person requires acceptance. How would a lost, fearful and frightened animal respond to a similar approach? Such animal requires acceptance and good treatment.

c.         Are some people just more empathic than others and they end up with it?
C:        Yes, as part of a life plan.

d.         Any advice from them to overcome it?
C:        The affected person needs do very little. The repair comes from her or his surroundings. The people surrounding the victim of this mental trauma are the ones best able to improve the affected person's outlook.

Thank you to everyone for the kind comments and compliments about my grandson. Thank you!
I ask about Alien ET ships in Earth's atmosphere, prompted by mention of them in the article linked yesterday.

A reader send this link to a video and describes it so:
=====================================
Dr Thomas Cowan explains that viruses do not exist as commonly believed; the reason no scientist has been able to perform a DNA sequencing of the covid19 virus. "Viruses are simply excretions of a toxic cell". Viruses are pieces of RNA and DNA with a few other proteins that butt out of cell.

Viruses happen when a cell is poisoned. They are not the cause of anything. The cells try to purify themselves by excreting debris (exosomes) which we call viruses..
i.e . disease is poisoning.

In 1918 - Spanish flu epidemic - there  was a quantum leap in electrification and introduction of radio waves around the earth and when you expose an biological system to a new electromagnetic field, you poison them. Later satellites launched and emitting radio active frequencies in Van Allen Belt. Six months after, we had a new viral pandemic. Now we have 5G satellites emitting . . . 

​Question:  True or not true?
====================
The Committee responds: "The references to and suggestions that large increases in the use of electromagnetic energy are the principal or driving cause behind viral pandemics is not true, although the energy can contribute, in some people. 

Just as magnetic fields create electricity when passing through certain metals, and vice versa, so do electricity, magnetism and electromagnetic signals or fields cause electricity generation and static charges in anything electrical, such as humans and animals. 

The implementation of 5G transmission technology is global, not local, thus an explanation as to why the virus does not appear in many locations as the technology is put to use in many locations, is not offered. 

The production of more viruses from an affected cell is true, this has been well studied and understood over the most recent century on Earth. Electromagnetic energy does not create RNA but can affect some people and make them somewhat more prone to infection and others more resistant. Electricity is a great cure, as is known and will come to be better known on Earth."

Discussions in the comments made on previous posts arise once again, about what to do when this, that or the-other-thing happens, or what might lessen or avoid negative effects.

Individual decisions, are; information here describes circumstances, events, developments, environment & surroundings now coming to Earth.

​What we can each do, we each decide. The Committee addresses the big picture.  I can't forecast how many posts this will require, I try to keep each one at 2-3 pages, 4 at the most, 1,200 to 1,500 words or thereabouts; thus "x".  

A good list, a Broker's Dozen. (Baker's Dozen = 13, the customer gets an extra bun as a nicety to entice them back. Brokers of many types & stripes always subtract a bit for themselves, thus 11.)

1. With Biden being installed as president, how will that impact the election for Harris in 2024?
2. Will Biden be removed after 2 years so Harris can make an additional 2 terms or will they kick him out sooner?
3. Earthquakes and volcanos are heating up which seems to mean the dim period is just around the corner. How long will it take for the average Joe to recognize that we have entered a serious geologic stage that isn't going to subside quickly?
4. With standard energy sources (natural gas, coal, propane, solar, wind etc.) unavailable, what will we use as a transitional source of energy until a new standard is available and affordable?
5. How long will it take to reconfigure systems so that energy is available and affordable?
6. Once the dim period begins, if it hasn't already, how long will it be before above ground crops are unavailable or difficult to grow?
7. Is it still anticipated that the dim period will last about 4 years?
8. How close are we to things going plumb crazy (even though it seems that they already have, much continues as it has like increased housing costs and food availability)?
9. On a more local note, are we in for more weather like the cold we just had?
10. Is Texas still on track to secede in the next decade?
11. Will the Texas grid be fixed so it's reliable if/when Texas does secede?

================================================
1.  Biden isn't going to make it until 2024, Harris will take over when Biden steps down.
2.  If Biden makes it to 2 years, The Committee is saying more likely at 12-18 months will he leave The White House.
3.  Only once we're deep into it and the effects cannot be denied.
4.  The sources will be available but limited and expensive, in varying degrees. The new electricity method can be developed very quickly, in other words months, but nobody will do it until we have to.
​5.  This depends on how one defines "reconfigure" and "affordable". Most systems now dealing with oil, diesel fuel, jet fuel and gasoline are going away permanently for the general public. Electricity distribution equipment (transmission lines, cables, wires and substations) can be re-done in a few months or less.
6.  Within the first year / season and the effects will remain for at least three and somewhat into a fourth growing season, depending on northern or southern hemisphere and the drop and region.
7.  Yes
8.  We're never going to go "plumb crazy" just like we're not systemically racist, BUT the powers-that-want-to-be will tell us otherwise every day, won't they? So we'll hear endlessly about examples of bad & crazy reactions the large majority do not have, offer, express or even see.
Housing costs will plummet. Food challenges are going to be worst where populations are high, such as China, India and other places. Not so much in the USA. Lots of fancy crap is going away, along with sugary stuff.
9.  Not once the Dim Adventure gets going. It'll be just as warm in this part of Texas in the summer and warmer during the "winter" also.
10.  Yes indeed. Gov. Abbott just sent 500 Nat'l Guard troops to the Mexico border. That's an early indicator right there.
11.  It's fixed now and always was. Too much "non-wind" generation was shut down. We have about 86 gigs of installed capacity (versus California with 80) and about 15 total is wind turbines. Peak demand was set in August '19 at 75. The height of the storm 3 weeks ago saw 66. We can do that easily BUT we have to be prepared to spend the money. The power companies with that money got blindsided. Failure to manage risk and plan for extremes, because the investors don't like anything but rosy news and happy bullshit.
