The North Pole is 34 degrees hotter than normal as the arctic ice is at record low

 http://arctic-news.blogspot.com

 The ...image shows high temperatures over the North Pole on February 2, 2025 18z. The green color indicates temperatures above freezing point.

 

Of course this means that "global warming" and "climate change" must be scrubbed from all federal websites!! Hilarious. Mother Nature doesn't care about a bunch of deNile-ists!! 

 As warmer water flows into the Arctic Ocean, Arctic sea ice loses volume, which diminishes its capacity to act as a buffer that consumes ocean heat entering the Arctic Ocean from the North Atlantic. This means that less incoming ocean heat can be consumed by melting the sea ice from below, resulting in higher temperatures of the water of the Arctic Ocean.

Why Capitalism is Wage-Slavery: Structures! (vs Domicile)

 Capitalism is slavery. By law, you are forced to live in a house. Slaves were given slave quarters and made to work. We are paid money and forced to give it back through rent. Same same.

Someone just sent me this reply comment on youtube - spot on!!

 The "rage algorithms" are the reptilian brain in high tech mode - "cancel culture" is the same as "click culture" - as reptilian digital seven second attention span. It's not just capitalism - Marxism also is based on Platonic philosophy driven by logarithmic (and inverse exponential) growth. So the nationalistic analysis as Dr. Rees skillfully demonstrates with the example of Denmark relying on importing fodder to export agriculture is spot-on. 

For example Costa Rica is considered a green country and certainly having parks and refuges dominate is ideal. But when I studied conservation biology in Costa Rica in 1992 - the economics professor said the best thing we could have done for Costa Rica is not fly there! The flying pollution for all the eco-tourism is not taken into account for the "green" status of Costa Rica's economy. 

So for example the current Tariff war with Drumpf and China has China relying on South America for soybean imports to feed the hogs. What is not mentioned in this whole debate is that Cargill, the world's largest private corporation and based in my state - they control the export of soybeans out of South America as well as the U.S.!! 

So either way Cargill profits and Cargill has a private family of 20 plus billionaires feeding off tax welfare with no one knowing what is going on. The soybean elevators that Cargill built in the Amazon rainforest were ILLEGAL but did Cargill take them down even after a judge ruled them illegal? No way! Cargill is more powerful than national boundaries - so it's the multinational corporations that control the world - not nation-states.

 You only need to be physically present in the state at the time you decide to make it your permanent home. Domicile, on the other hand, is a matter of intention; your domicile is the place you intend to return to, however inchoate the chance of return may seem to be.  

https://www.quora.com/How-do-you-identify-your-state-of-residence-if-you-do-not-maintain-a-permanent-address-in-the-US 

 you want to mantain a residence in California, so I would simply look into the easiest way to do this. Usually this entails having an address where you can get mail; sometimes it also involves, say, having a bank account with ten dollars in it. Residence is a concept which has to do with (in this case) maintaining personal contact with a State, and comes with benefits (voting in State and local elections, driver's license) and obligations (paying taxes).

  Where you pay taxes can become evidence of intention to establish a residence, but "not required to pay taxes" does not necessarily equal "not a legal resident".

 Identifying your state of residence in the U.S. without a permanent address can be challenging

  1. Intent to Remain: Your intention to make a particular state your home can be a strong indicator. This can be demonstrated through actions like registering to vote, obtaining a state driver's license, or filing taxes in that state.
  2. Temporary Address: If you have a temporary address (like a friend's house, a long-term hotel stay, or a rental), you can use that as your residence. This address can be used for official documents.
  3. Community Ties: Evidence of community ties, such as membership in local organizations, social clubs, or religious institutions, can support your claim of residency in a specific state.
  4. Financial Documents: Where you maintain your bank accounts, where you receive your mail, and where your financial documents are registered can also help establish residency.
  5. Employment: If you are employed in a particular state, that can contribute to your residency status. Pay stubs or tax documents showing employment in that state can serve as proof.
  6. Legal Documentation: Some states may allow you to declare a state of residency through legal documents, even if you do not have a permanent address.
  7. Duration of Stay: The amount of time you spend in a state can also influence your residency status. Many states have specific guidelines regarding how long you must reside in the state to be considered a resident.
  8. State-Specific Rules: Each state has its own laws regarding residency. It’s essential to check the specific requirements for the state in question, as they can vary significantly.

If you need to establish residency for legal or administrative purposes, consider consulting with a legal expert who specializes in residency issues in your state. we subscribed to a mailbox service that receives and scans our mail then emails it to us as PDF documents.

 Using the mailbox forwarding service we maintain normal relationships with our banks, employers, credit card firms, the DMV, student loan servicer, and we can even receive our absentee ballots for president.

 The only people that needed to know our actual overseas address was the DMV (although they correspond with us at our mailbox address, they need to know your domicile for things like voting and jury duty, etc.)

 the IRS, which bases your tax on domicile not on correspondence address.

 If you don't have a fixed residence in a state, a primary determinant of residency is the state to which you pay taxes. Where you pay taxes will often be determined by where you last resided or where you work or last worked, or the location of the organization you work for. Do you have an address in the U.S. where you get mail delivered? That just might be your state residence.

 residency (and tax payment) was determined by where they lived prior to going overseas or where they owned property.

 At least one state in the U.S. will sometimes very aggressively try to claim you as a resident for tax purposes...

For taxes:

  Enter only one address - your current home address or your post office box

 I'm surprised he didn't learn of Smedley Butler till 2007 - I learned about him from my local radical bookstore - probably around 2001. Of course when General William Ramsey Clark announced the U.S. would be invading a list of seven countries right after 9/11 I knew this was true as John Judge said he saw the secret military planning for deaths in Vietnam from 20 years before the U.S. war started.

Daniel Wei on the Five Elements of TCM: Is Metal the same as Air?

  In this flow, wood catches fire. Fire burns down to ashes which creates earth. Earth compresses into metal. Metal collects and carries water, then water returns to nourish wood again.

In our view, metal also relates to the lungs (metal=air) so it's almost like we're starting with a big, deep breath. True self-awareness shows humility, so we descend from metal to water....
If you recall, the essence, or quality, of metal is to turn inward on its self. This is why metal is so dense and durable - because it's so tightly compressed and compacted. Well, if we apply this property to air, we can say condensed air turns into a cloud, and a cloud generates water - which is basically the following progression in the nourishment cycle. In short, metal and air are interchangeable in their ability to generate, sustain, and contain water.

Endogenous Cannabinoid System directly tied to modulating and inducing the Opioid system & vice versa!

 So science has proven that morphine damages the cannabinoid system and cannaboids enhances the morphine system.

 The endogenous cannabinoid system (ECS), formed by cannabinoid receptors, lipid-derived endogenous ligands, and enzymes that synthesize and degrade the endogenous ligands, has recently been implicated in the process of rewarding behavior formation mediated by the mesolimbic circuitry. As it was shown previously, the blockade of cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R) in the VTA or NAc significantly suppressed morphine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) or heroin self-administration (Caillé and Parsons, 2006; Rashidy-Pour et al., 2013); while administration of a selective Cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2R) agonist JWH015 effectively attenuated acute morphine-induced dopamine release in the NAc, as well as attenuated morphine-induced rewarding behavior when co-administered with morphine (Grenald et al., 2017).

 https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/pharmacology/articles/10.3389/fphar.2021.632757/full

So the question of this study is how does opioid use change the endocannabinoid system:

 endopeptidase inhibitors are the most affected proteins in the VTA following repeated morphine treatment (All 14 proteins were reduced significantly and 11 of them had over 2-fold reduction in expression; Figures 1E, F; Supplementary Table S3). α-1-macroglobulin was the most significantly affected protein out of all 3,680 proteins, which has the largest fold change loss after morphine treatment of all the significantly affected proteins related to endopeptidase activity (labeled red in Figure 1F).

 In the proteomic analysis, 31 endogenous cannabinoid system-related proteins were detected in the VTA (Table 1). Two of these proteins, phospholipase Cγ-2 (PLCγ2) and α/β-hydrolase domain containing 6 (ABHD6), were significantly downregulated after sustained morphine exposure.

 The downregulation of ABHD6 expression following sustained morphine exposure may be a mechanism underlying opioid-mediated long-term synaptic depression and participate in opioid reward. Interestingly, our qPCR result showed that the expression of ABHD6 was not altered at the mRNA level, suggesting its downregulation detected by the proteomics is not at the transcription level. CB2R is a critical member of the endogenous cannabinoid system but is barely detected by current mass spectrometry-based techniques due to its low expression level (Marchalant et al., 2014). Our qRT-PCR experiments found that CB2R was significantly decreased by repeated morphine treatment. This downregulation of CB2R may be involved in a regulatory process of sustained morphine in the facilitation of the rewarding behavior (Xi et al., 2011; Navarrete et al., 2013; Ortega-Álvaro et al., 2015; Grenald et al., 2017). Overall, these studies suggest that sustained opioids exert regulatory effects on the VTA endogenous cannabinoid system.

 The endogenous cannabinoid and opioid systems are two critical neuromodulatory systems, which share similar pharmacological features, including the downstream signaling of µ-opioid receptors (MORs) and CB1Rs and behavioral outcomes (analgesia, sedation and reward) (Wenzel and Cheer, 2018). Recent evidence shows that these two systems are functionally interacted in the modulation of reward and addiction. Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-induced CPP is eliminated in MOR-knockout mice (Ghozland et al., 2002) and THC self-administration is attenuated by opioid receptor antagonist naloxone (Braida et al., 2001; Justinova et al., 2004). Reciprocally, genetic depletion of CB1Rs or the application of CB1R antagonist rimonabant blocks opioid-induced CPP and self-administration (Ledent et al., 1999; Martin et al., 2000; Cossu et al., 2001; Navarro et al., 2001; Navarro et al., 2004; Caillé and Parsons, 2006). Currently, the underlying mechanisms of the functional interactions between the two systems remains to be elucidated, but the interactions between MOR and CB1R may be an explanation (Wenzel and Cheer, 2018).
