The sudden drop in life expectancy you reference is a 12-sigma event—a deviation so far from normal and so rare it is pragmatically impossible and nearly incalculable, i.e., a 99.999999999999999999% black swan event.

So, what event happened in 2021 that might have such a devastating effect on people's health? What event took place over the last three years that caused birth rates to plummet, sudden deaths to skyrocket, and mortality rates in developed countries to go parabolic?

Normally death rates don't change at all. They are very stable. It would take something REALLY BIG to have an effect this big. The effect size is 12-sigma. That is an event that would only happen by pure chance every 2.832 billion years.

You think this event is climate change, teen suicide, drug overdose? Come on man, seriously?

The obvious "event" is the mass vaccination campaign combined with mandates resulting in over 5 billion humans being injected with an experimental mRNA toxin.

1. The rise in deaths began after the rollout of the shots.

2. It is primarily working age people (18 to 64) who are dying (same group that was threatened with losing their jobs if they didn't submit themselves to this medical experiment)

3. There are more excess deaths than any time in history, which suggests they were caused by a novel threat.

4. COVID deaths have significantly diminished, so the virus can be ruled out.

5. People are dying from a wide variety of causes, so most pathogens can be ruled out.

6. To get an effect size this high, the lethal agent must affect massive numbers of people. It is something new affecting at least half the population, like a new mandated vaccine for example?

7. The dramatic rise in disabilities suggests that many who aren't killed by this novel threat are seriously injured, often long-term.

This experimental mRNA jab is most lethal drug in medical history.

The people who followed ‘the science™’ were deceived, manipulated, injured and killed. Turns out those who followed the 'silenced' were armed with the truth and avoided injury and death.

Gee, maybe injecting everyone in the country with an unproven/untested novel gene therapy was not so well advised after all.

Thanks for your insights. We particularly enjoyed your thoughts on banks and housing. And thanks for introducing us to Pedro Noronha!

This is an awesome turn of phrase. Look at Matt Tiabbi here: Davos is... an echo chamber for increasingly esoteric eco-spiritual observances and dogmatic “planet-rescuing” proclamations.

Your assessment of the "costs" of the so-called green agenda is not particularly balanced or objective if you don't bother to include the costs of actual climate change -- the 100 year storms, floods and earthquakes that occur every year or more, the insurance losses, the population displacement (and here I'm not talking about Bangladesh, but New Orleans and Houston), and so on.

Outstanding read; thank you very much!

Regarding climate change, the whole conversation has been basically hijacked by the petroleum industry and the carbon credits thing and the Paris thing. People who are actually concerned about climate change advocate different solutions like putting more housing in walkable areas so people wouldn't have to drive and poor people would not have to drive an hour one way to work at a job where the rich people live. People actually interested in sustainable living talk about micro apartments of 300 ft² and tiny houses and earthships. https://usa.streetsblog.org/2023/04/24/the-critical-climate-change-solution-that-no-one-is-talking-about/

I didn't do any data analysis, but with housing, my hypothesis to test would be that prices are simply leveling out nationally due to people wanting to invest in somewhat more inflation proof assets via the various kinds of REITS available now which specifically invest in the less overpriced areas of the country, and also probably people just buying houses outright in those areas either because they're moving or just buying another property.
