Recently, the country’s Senate approved a bill to end the seasonal time change and establish a fixed one. However, this still continues as a proposal since the bill has not been approved by the House of Representatives, which means that the mandate must continue to be fulfilled. Two states, Hawaii and Arizona do not make the change because they have their own state laws to keep their hours fixed.

I live on the time cusp between Eastern and Central time, so I convert from fast time to slow time and back on the regular. None the less I wish they would leave time alone.
Now as to the "time of change", we are experiencing the biggest swing in the balance of power in my lifetime, from western hegemony to a multipolar fair and balanced world order centered around the BRICS+ alliance.

...the "BRICS+" mechanism bears the expectations of developing countries for promoting the reform of the international order and opens up a new path of multilateralism for mutual benefit, win-win and cooperative development.

The BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) account for over 40% of the global population and nearly a quarter of the world’s GDP. The bloc’s stated purposes include promoting peace, security, development, and cooperation globally, and contributing to the development of humanity.

Many countries around the world sense the change, and are looking to join BRICS+.

Argentina and Iran applied to join BRICS in June 2022. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that these countries are worthy candidates for joining BRICS and that the preparatory process for expanding the organization has already begun.

Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt plan to join BRICS, and their potential membership bids could be discussed and answered at next year’s summit in South Africa, Purnima Anand, the president of the organization, told Russian media on Thursday.

Kazakhstan is studying a proposal to join BRICS. It will then be decided in which format we will take part in the summits of the platform. Kazakhstan is a mid-ranking country. We are considered a dynamically developing, important country in Central Asia. We are promoting the regional agenda. Kazakhstan is a major producer and exporter of energy resources and wheat. We can solve issues in a more balanced way with mutually beneficial communication between the producer and the consumer of energy resources. If China and India are among the largest consumers of energy resources, Kazakhstan and Russia are producers. On a mutually beneficial basis, we can contribute to the in-depth development of trade and economic ties, to international food security, given that the world is on the brink of a food crisis.

Lula was a co-founder of the BRICS system, which he has called to expand. He has similarly vowed to strengthen unity in Latin America and the Caribbean through institutions of regional integration like the CELAC, UNASUR, and MERCOSUR.
Before the election, Lula proposed creating a pan-Latin American currency, in order to “be freed of the dollar.”
Lula’s victory represents a reversal of two US-sponsored soft coups in 2016 and 2018, which overthrew the Workers’ Party (PT) government of former President Dilma Rousseff and subsequently imprisoned Lula on false charges, handing power to Bolsonaro.

Change is occurring globally, not just with the growing BRICS alliance.

Colombia’s new president reverses US coup, visits Venezuela, pledges unity in ‘spirit of Bolívar’ Colombia’s first-ever left-wing leader Gustavo Petro took a historic trip to Venezuela, pledging regional unity following the anti-imperialist model of Simón Bolívar. Meeting with President Nicolás Maduro, Petro said it is “suicidal” to divide the countries, “because we are the same people,” in “historically one single Bolivarian nation, reunited.”

Latin America is rejecting western colonization once again.

One reason other countries are turning their backs to the US is due to our endless senseless wars.

Lucas Gage is a former Marine who served two tours in Iraq. During that time he discovered that his military leaders were actively lying about their mission. Now Gage is exposing the very same lies that are being repeated in Ukraine.

Caity explains:

We’ve been seeing this same cycle repeated year after year: US military expansionism and aggression in a given part of the world receives pushback from the people who live there, and the US responds to that pushback with more military expansionism and aggression. The official narrative is that the US is responding to unprovoked aggressions from the other side, conveniently omitting its own antecedent aggressions and provocations — a manipulation tactic the western media are always happy to facilitate.

In reality it’s not hard to determine who the aggressor is when one party is flying to the other side of the planet to menace the borders and security interests of the other, especially when ramping up militarism in more and more parts of the world facilitates both the US military-industrial complex and the unipolarist objectives of US empire managers. But because the US empire has the most sophisticated narrative control system ever devised, enough people in enough places that matter swallow the official story despite its self-evident absurdity.

The idea of a war with China is so stupid you have to wonder how we have such idiots conducting US Foreign Policy.

The war between NATO and Russia isn't going well for western powers and is driving most of the world away from the West and the USD.

Pentagon Vows To Support Ukraine for ‘As Long As It Takes,’ Launches New Command
The Defense Department announced both a new $400 million weapons package for Kiev and the new military command, based in Germany, overseeing the proxy war with Russia.

This creeping towards more involvement can easily lead to a catastrophic war between superpowers. The best Russia can do to prevent that is to speed up its operations in Ukraine. A fast and decisive defeat of Ukraine's army is the only way to prevent a deeper U.S. involvement.

Jimmy interviews a dim...Dem Party Turns On Anti-War Democratic Primary Winner (12 min)

In the past, MIT graduate and anti-war activist Geoff Young has run for office as a Democrat, a Republican and a Green, all to no avail. He is, in fact, hostile to all major parties but this year managed to win the Democratic nomination in Kentucky’s 6th Congressional district, upon which the state party declared that they would not be supporting his run. In this interview with Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger, he describes his fiercely anti-war, anti-duopoly and anti-establishment views.

In my walk around Trade Day on Saturday I ran into a buddy. The conversation came around to the election this Tuesday. He said, "As we've discussed several times, we will not notice anything different regardless of the outcome. The same puppet masters will be pulling the strings either way." Sadly, I think that is correct.

Big Tech COLLUDED with US Government to Censor Online Information

The social fabric is unraveling...

1. Everything you will read in this commentary is disinformation.
2. To say that this commentary contains disinformation is disinformation.
3. To say statements calling this commentary disinformation are disinformation is disinformation.

Th­is is what our public discourse has come to. This is what we have done to it. We Americans have made a nonsense of ourselves. You want to talk about America’s late-imperial decline? This is the warp and weft of it as we shred our social fabric. This is what our troubled republic sounds like, an indecipherable cacophony amid which anything we say can be turned to mean other than what we mean.

We don’t talk to one another anymore, sharing opinions or perspectives. When we come across anyone who thinks differently than we do we simply call him or her a disseminator of disinformation, a liar, and nothing more need be said.

Change I want to see....
I often write about changing our farming systems. Not by taking over farms as planned by the Davos Great Reset puppets, but by regenerative pasture based grazing operations. I was saddened to hear of New Zealand joining the farm seizure agenda (18 min).

I love to see people finding their way to the land...
Left BBC's Planet Earth to start dream family homestead

Over a decade ago, Matt Swarbrick and his wife Jenny decided to leave behind city life to “grow cabbages and children” on 80 acres of former quarry land at the North West corner of Wales. Matt had been exploring ecosystems worldwide for shows like BBC's Planet Earth when he realized he wanted to “learn every bird’s nest” in his own corner of the world.
Using a no-dig method that relies on good composting practices, the couple began using permaculture principles of regenerative farming to restore the soil health of the vegetable beds. Today, on just one acre, they can provide produce for 100 families.
On the remainder of the property, they began planting trees to convert pastures into savannah grasslands, or what Matt calls “the most productive ecosystems on earth.” Relying on agroforestry techniques of maximizing highly productive “woodland edges,” they divided the pastures into 35 fields lined with fruit and nut trees. This not only produces a crop but it provides smaller spaces for the rotational grazing of their cows, sheep, and chickens, which in turn improves soil fertility with minimal input.
With a big loan to pay, the couple decided to create a campsite on their property for extra money. Their first small shelter is an affordable take on the traditional Celtic roundhouse. Using cob, straw bale, and lime for walls and sod from the fields for the roof, the circular structure resembles something out of Tolkien's Middle Earth, and they have nicknamed it the hobbit/fairy/witch house.
Inspired by the Viking boats that used to populate the Irish sea (just 2 miles from the property), the couple’s second build, erected in just 6 weeks, is a turf-covered cabin that is “a blend of Viking longhouse and underground hobbit hideaway.”
Despite having to take out a large loan to buy their dream property, the couple said that every venture- the farm, the pastures, the overnight rentals- all pay for themselves. And this is important since one of their goals is to show others that this type of life, and method of farming, is a viable option.

We were lucky to buy our place cheap and we built our own house saving a good bit more. We did have to borrow money, but paid off our mortgage in six years on our teacher salaries.

Jeffrey Sachs' speech at the UN Food Systems Pre-Summit (10 min)

Jeffery has been doing good work trying to educate people about the nature of the corporate coup.

So here we are in a rapidly changing world. In the US we are experiencing the fall of empire, and we're happy to sacrifice our EU allies in the process. In our desperate attempt to cling to our hegemony, we're stirring up war with Russia and China at the same time. As a result the collapse will be hastened. Meanwhile, there's a cooperative alliance forming whose goal is peace and mutual benefit. They are ascending.
Fortunately,even within a crumbling empire, we are capable as individuals to choose paths which enhance our personal well being. I understand homesteading isn't for everyone, but it has been a good fit for us. People have to find their own path toward peace and prosperity, and I hope your path has led you toward those goals.
Wishing you all a pleasant Sunday and I look forward to your comments below.
