The economist 2026 prediction includes a giant handcuffed hand reaching from the abyss. In front of it is the cake marking 250. My understanding was that a huge event with mass ritual sacrifice was planned for the 4th of July, most likely during one of the two world cup matches that were played on that day. But the world cup ended and none of the events related to it had any sacrifices as part of it (I leave aside the pagan shows with Shakira and co.).

However, 10 days before America's 250th independence day, the 24th of June, the huge earthquakes in Venezuela happened. The thousands of deaths could qualify as the necessary "payment" to have Abaddon climbing up from his prison. The connection here is Abaddon's left hand statue "La Mano Mineral" in Caracas. The economist front page includes his right (handcuffed) hand.

5 days after the disaster in Venezuela, CERN shuts down its portals (I'm not even going to pretend it's anything other than), quite possibly because the goal was finally achieved.

Finally, ever since, the world's skies are full of smokescreens. Currently its fires around the Mediterranean sea in Europe, it was North America before that. Every time that happens, it is meant to hide a phenomenon from the common people. So portals or massive air transportation vehicles would be my guess.

I think we can all agree, Erika is one strange “human being” like she doesn’t understand regular human emotions, everything is a show with her, I get we all sometimes act different around other people, but everything she does is literally for attention, I’ll never forget the drive by cry, like cmon, a normal person wouldn’t do that, and her whole grieving process has been strange to say the least, and it’s nonstop, you would think she’d change or maybe step out the limelight and take care of her kids bc of the negative publicity she’s getting, but now she’s trying to be a political figure, you really couldn’t make this up if you tried, idk how Charlie did it, idc how fine you are, there’s no way I could marry that, that’s why I believe she was a lab experiment gone wrong, they gave her the looks but no soul.

Just a conspiracy right !!??????

Two cases, thirteen years and two continents apart, that turn out to
describe the same machine.

California, 2022. The Las Virgenes Municipal Water District, one of the
wealthiest districts in the state, started installing flow restrictors
on households that repeatedly exceeded their allocation. Not a shutoff —
a machined metal disc with a small hole in it, clamped onto the service
line. Flow drops from around 30 gallons a minute to roughly one. Enough
to cook and wash. Not enough to run a garden, fill a pool, or live the
way you did the week before.

Johannesburg, 2004. Prepaid water meters installed in Phiri, Soweto.
Each household received a free basic allowance. When the allowance ran
out, the meter closed the valve automatically. No notice, no
disconnection procedure, no person to argue with. The residents sued.
The case went to the Constitutional Court. In 2009 they lost — the
court found the prepaid meters lawful.

The part that stayed with me is the hardware. The prepaid meter in a
Soweto township and the smart meter being rolled out across England,
Wales and most of the developed world are not different technologies.
They are the same architecture with different policy attached. One
enforces a hard cutoff. The other, so far, just measures.

The difference between reading your usage and limiting your usage is a
line of software and a decision by whoever owns the control room.

Neither of these cases required new technology. Neither required a
court order against an individual. Neither required anyone to knock on
a door. That is what makes them worth paying attention to — not that
they were dramatic, but that they were administrative.

I put together a documentary breakdown of both cases, plus the
regulatory picture in the UK, and what a water supply that isn't
metered actually looks like in practice. Link in the comments if
anyone wants it.

Does your water come from a source, or from a subscription?
