That must mean the dollar collapse is imminent 😏 they did that when they openly stole the election with Biden, means they're probably either gonna loot the Treasury and flee to Israel with the booty, or they're walling it off to prevent all the civil unrest from charging the building because a 40 hour work week no longer affords a decent living and it's completely pointless to work anymore because you don't even afford the bare basic necessities like housing, clothing and food, let alone a woman and children. Things will get mighty hasty in the months to come
@RichardKuklinskisIcyGlare July 1st is an important date in Basel III banking regulations. It allows European banks to not have to use government debt as tier I highly liquid collateral backing bank deposits. They can use gold instead. Gold has already priced this in. I think US Treasury will be blamed for loss in demand for US government bonds due to Basel III. That is why it is getting barricaded.
Outside USA it might cause deflation because offshore USD only exists as a musical chairs of promises about promises about someone eventually selling enough US government debt to settle all interbank liabilities denominated in USD outside USA. Those people will not get the same price for their US government bonds, to honor interbank transfers of USD for international trade settlement. A type of reverse money multiplier effect can happen which will feel like deflation outside USA. Not enough capital for international trade settlement.
@RichardKuklinskisIcyGlare The cost of living could rise by 40 to 70% over say 1 to 2 years. The increase in cost of living would not be uniform; essentials and imported goods would see the steepest rises. The poorest households would face the highest relative impact, as they spend a larger share of income on food, fuel, and other necessities.
During the 1970s, a period of high inflation and significant US dollar devaluation, the dollar lost about 75% of its purchasing power, and gold prices increased approximately 30-fold. Essential costs like gasoline, mortgages, and groceries surged by 60 to 100% over several years
Thanks to LLMs I am querying books I really shouldn’t.
There is a book called en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitlers_… in German language which describes an debunked way Nazis made a fission bomb (mainstream history says Nazis couldn’t make the nuclear bomb), without having enough enriched material to work with. Nazis used a unconventional design of using a fusion reaction to create enough neutrons to do fission in a less enriched material. It is thoroughly debunked. Using fission to start fusion is well known. But using fusion to start fission first stage is not considered possible AFAIK CMIIW
So it got me reading about shaped charges, explosive lenses etc. and there is a thing called en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voitenko… invented by a Ukrainian engineer in the 1960s. It is the only chemical way to generate a nuclear fusion reaction. It sounds remarkably like what the above book says Nazis used, but the author of the book doesn’t know about Voitenko.
TL;DR It might be possible to make a nuclear weapon without using weapons grade fissile material. Just slightly enriched fissile material is enough.
We are constantly fed a version of AI that looks, sounds and acts suspiciously like us. It speaks in polished sentences, mimics emotions, expresses curiosity, claims to feel compassion, even dabbles in what it calls creativity.
But what we call AI today is nothing more than a statistical machine: a digital parrot regurgitating patterns mined from oceans of human data (the situation hasn’t changed much since it was discussed here five years ago). When it writes an answer to a question, it literally just guesses which letter and word will come next in a sequence – based on the data it’s been trained on.
This means AI has no understanding. No consciousness. No knowledge in any real, human sense. Just pure probability-driven, engineered brilliance — nothing more, and nothing less.
So why is a real “thinking” AI likely impossible? Because it’s bodiless. It has no senses, no flesh, no nerves, no pain, no pleasure. It doesn’t hunger, desire or fear. And because there is no cognition — not a shred — there’s a fundamental gap between the data it consumes (data born out of human feelings and experience) and what it can do with them.
Philosopher David Chalmers calls the mysterious mechanism underlying the relationship between our physical body and consciousness the “hard problem of consciousness”. Eminent scientists have recently hypothesised that consciousness actually emerges from the integration of internal, mental states with sensory representations (such as changes in heart rate, sweating and much more).
Given the paramount importance of the human senses and emotion for consciousness to “happen”, there is a profound and probably irreconcilable disconnect between general AI, the machine, and consciousness, a human phenomenon.
Here I go again...My brother is sick and in the hospital right now. He Does NOT wanna be there, but he got to a certain point, and then it was kinda out of his control. He didn't take good care of himself, and now it has caught-up to him.
Luckily, I'm in town, so I was able to see him before he went to the hospital. I figured it was probably heat exhaustion. I was a good sister, I got him a cold towel, some popsicles, and various drinks to rehydrate. He lasted a few more days, but then he had to give in and go to the hospital. It was only getting worse, not better. He couldn't breathe to walk. Family was insistent.
Sure enough, he has Pneumonia...He had an abscess inside his lung that had to be, (puking sounds) drained...he has some tube in his back...but he's feeling much better with being rehydrated, and pumped...they took over a liter of liquid off his lungs...He's doing better, thankfully...
Buuuut, here's the rub...The hospital...wants you to not only show ID, which I cannot stand doing...bust also...get this...take your picture, BEFORE entering the hospital for a visit.
GTFO. Nope. That's not happening. I sent my Dad in, to try to get past without jumping through the hoops. He was more than happy to try. Got stopped. They did comply.
Luckily, my brother, doesn't want to be in the hospital ("Health" (SICK) Care System) any more than I do. We don't agree on a lot of things, but this we do...So he understands, I'll be visiting him when he gets OUT of Spy Central. I don't have anything to hide...Except, My Right to Privacy. We didn't have to do this before...
I don't like this at all. I want to see my brother, but I'm not conforming to this Ridiculous Overreach...
I didn't wear a face mask through Covid...ever. I did not participate...and, I'm not going to now...
Ya know those drivers licenses they want everyone to have...NOPE. I'm NOT doing that...I renewed my, "NOT" Federal ID, for 8 Years.
Because, I've Learned that sometimes, it's going to mean that I miss out on some BIG Deals. I did before, and I Will Again...
Because, had I just complied, and been face masked-up, like Aaaaalmost everyone else throughout The Great Covid Scamdemic, without having a backbone to stand up for my Freedom to Decide for myself, and My Privacy, and My Rights...and been the ONLY Barefaced person in Public for Soooooo Long...We'd probably still be wearing facemasks or worse, at this point.
It did not matter to me...I was always going to be the example, and remind the World, that Iiiiiiii was the "Normal" one. I missed out on a lot of important stuff...because Freedom doesn't come Free. There is a sacrifice, blood, or otherwise.
But'cha know what I've learned through all of it...
That the Price of FREEDOM is Inconvenience.
Most people don't want to be inconvenienced...So they'll give up their Freedom for Security...That's just, NOT Me.
Never Trade Freedom for Safety. Freedom will Always Afford you Safety, But Safety, will NEVER Afford You Freedom.
You know, Our Rights can NEVER Be Taken Away...NEVER...They can ONLY Be Surrendered.
I would voice record what is going on & what said to you, let them see you doing so. Take notes, take names of those requiring anything from you; let them see that too.

If I sound paranoid, I am because I don't trust anyone in the Medical ...

Sisters and brothers:
This rainy season brings us good and bad things, we see God’s blessings in them, as they remind us of the hope we shared with our brothers and sisters, before they were martyred. Our crops, the harvest, which our mother earth gives us, as well as the colorful flowers that for years have given us ideas to create the costumes of our region. The bad thing is the landslides that disrupt the hills and put us at risk of being buried, as well as the violence that is lived in the world. But our hope is in the word of God “As the rain descends from heaven, and does not return there, without having soaked and fertilized the earth and made it germinate, giving seed to sow and bread to eat, so shall the word be that goes forth from my mouth. It will not return to me empty, but will do what I will, and fulfill its mission. Is. 55, 10-11
We believe in this word, as an organization it encourages us because we need water to live, and so too, like the rain, the Peace we need to live, will soak the earth, that is our hope!
We have lived histories of violence, (like the mudslides) in our municipality, since 1996, with the paramilitaries, violence that stopped the Acteal massacre, but never totally ended, the most recent history is what is happening in some communities, for example, Tzajalch’en that denounced the presence of armed groups linked to organized crime identified with the governments. A few days ago, there were shots fired, there were no injuries, but a climate of fear was created, provoked by armed men who entered intimidating the community. The GN and the army arrived, but instead of providing security, of investigating the armed groups, more gunshots were heard. Then the Immediate Reaction Forces, the Pakales, arrived in the community, they pretended to go after the aggressors, they entered the Ignacio Zaragoza school, they detained a member of Las Abejas de Acteal and the community agent, they falsely accused them of kidnapping, but after intimidating them they had to release them. We hear in the news the words of the governor saying that “no one is above the law,” but the Pakales do seem to be above the law, because they are unjust, arbitrary, they do not respect us as people, they violate our rights, or which law?
Because the violence in the area is escalating, the communities are warning about the risk of a massacre of the Tsotsil people by organized crime. Will the history of 1997 repeat itself, when, after we denounced the presence of the paramilitaries, and Jtotik Samuel also alerted the government that if they did not take care of it something could happen, but they did not believe us, will history repeat itself?
On the other hand, in the north, many of our brothers and sisters are suffering the separation of their children, they are being criminalized, some are in prison, others have been deported by the president of the United States, Donald Trump, and all are suffering repression by the Armed Forces that the same president mobilized in different cities, reinforcing his authoritarianism.
But we recognize and thank the fraternal people of the United States, who reject the repressive policies of their government, protesting in the streets, in favor of our sisters and brothers from Mexico and the world who work in their country.
It also hurts us in Palestine, that a dehumanized Israel continues the genocide, killing innocent children, people attacked by snipers while looking for food and hundreds of wounded who die for lack of medicine, using hunger and medicine as weapons of war, and not satisfied with finishing off Palestine, attacks Iran, putting humanity at risk, with a third world war, which would end the life of the planet.
We stand in solidarity with the comrades from Mexico and other countries who, in defiance of the Israeli regime, are on their way to Gaza carrying food.
Sisters and brothers, we invite you not to accept that violence becomes our norm of life. Let us not identify ourselves with this way of living. We have dignity, principles and human values that commit us to harmonize life with non-violent actions.
The Tsotsil communities, Las Abejas de Acteal and the community of Tzajalch’en that build Peace without violence:
We DEMAND OF THE THREE LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT:
Guarantees of security.
That they immediately cease the intimidation and criminalization of the communities that defend justice and peace.
Real investigations that lead them to dismantle the armed groups linked to organized crime that operate with impunity in the Tsotsil region.

Common leftist narrative: "A corporation is not a person."
My response: "Is a race a person? Is a gender a person? Is a sexual orientation a person?"
Typical leftist response: "Well, they're groups of persons."
My response to that: "You mean, just like a corporation is?"
Society is not a person.
A government (a state) is not a person, either.
Neither is a race. Neither is a sex/gender. Neither is a sexual orientation.
Either all of those have rights, or none of them do. Choose one.

_Supreme Court Greenlights Online Digital ID Checks_
It's not just a requirement that site visitors self-identify as "adult" by checking a box.
Based on this opinion, it would be legal to require identity verification to even access the internet at all, because it's undeniably the case that "content harmful to minors" can be accessed there, and laws such as House Bill 1181 don't change that fact.
FTA: The 6-3 decision, issued on June 27, 2025, affirms the constitutionality of House Bill 1181, a statute that requires adult websites to verify the age of users before granting access to sexually explicit material.
Laws like House Bill 1181, framed as necessary safeguards for children, are quietly eroding the rights of adults to access lawful content or speak freely online without fear of surveillance or exposure.
Under such laws, anyone seeking to view legal adult material online (and eventually even those who want to access social media platforms because may contain content “harmful” to minors) is forced to provide official identification, often a government-issued digital ID or even biometric data, to prove their age.
I installed Linux Mint on my Lenovo Yoga 7 laptop and it's been great, with the one exception of not really having a tablet mode when I flip the screen. Its not a huge deal, but I watch shows that way and sometimes miss an on-screen keyboard.
The actual keyboard stays active when flipped, which is fine until I pick it up or have it on my lap and accidentally hit some random key.
It seems from some looking around that Mint doesn't do great with this and I'm open to a different distro that's fairly beginner friendly, but even better if there are some options I'm missing to keep what I have.
I use archlinux with KDE and I had to tinker with it for hours if not days for it to properly have an automatic on screen keyboard that is not complete bullcrap. But since then it works. Even on LUKS decrypt during boot.
mint uses X11 which should be considered legacy at this point. wayland (Gnome, Plasma) has all the touch and dock/undock and rotate and pen etc goodies. try it out from a liveUSB and decide for yourself.
Why is mint even recommended to new users at this point. Cinnamon is nowhere near Gnome or Plasma and both of these provide much simpler and more unified experience in things like settings

@Emmanuel Florac The magic of elections is that votes may or may not get misdirected, ballots may disappear and reappear depending on the political inclinations of the magicians. I'm not sure that I can elaborate further, since I missed my bedtime and I'm sure that I don't have enough coffee.
Wayland and abandoning up of X11 is not a fucking IBM conspiracy I am so fucking annoyed by people who try to find conspiracy in literally everything out there... X11 was always flawed to begin with.. X11 is a product of consortium of Unix vendors and its a flawed product from top to bottom. Wayland while flawed is still a better product than X11.
There is nothing wrong with Xlibre but Xlibre is still a one man show for now... If it brings up what it promises like a one year from now sure.
Il semble que nos dirigeants, ici dans l'Occident « libéral », aient trouvé un nouveau moyen de transformer une personne en non-personne.
Voici un homme, Hüseyin Doğru, journaliste allemand (d'origine turque, mais sans double nationalité) que les autorités européennes ont puni d'une manière inédite et extrêmement cruelle pour ses reportages et ses opinions sur la Palestine.
Les autorités allemandes ont tiré les leçons de mon cas. Ne souhaitant pas avoir à répondre devant les tribunaux de toute interdiction des voix pro-palestiniennes (à l'instar du procès que je leur intente actuellement), elles ont trouvé un autre moyen : une sanction directe de l'UE utilisant une directive jusqu'alors inutilisée, introduite au début de la guerre en Ukraine, qui permet à Bruxelles de sanctionner tout citoyen de l'UE qu'elle estime travailler pour les intérêts russes. S'accrochant à l'argument selon lequel le site web/podcast de Hüseyin était également diffusé sur Ruptly (entre autres plateformes), elles utilisent cette directive visant les « actifs anti-russes » pour détruire un journaliste qui a osé s'opposer au génocide palestinien.
Concrètement, cela signifie que le compte bancaire de Hüseyin est gelé ; que si vous ou moi lui donnions de l'argent pour acheter des provisions ou payer son loyer, nous serions considérés comme ses complices et soumis à des sanctions similaires ; cela signifie également que s'il était fonctionnaire, il serait licencié ; s'il était étudiant, il serait expulsé de son université ; s'il percevait une pension, celle-ci serait suspendue ; s'il percevait des prestations sociales, celles-ci seraient gelées. Cela signifie également, de manière étonnante, qu'il ne peut pas quitter l'Allemagne !
Enfin, et ce n'est pas le moins important, cela signifie que Hüseyin ne peut pas poursuivre son gouvernement pour l'avoir transformé en non-personne, mais seulement contester la Commission européenne à Bruxelles – où il n'est même pas autorisé à se rendre !
Dois-je en dire plus ? N'est-il pas évident que nous vivons aujourd'hui dans une Europe nominalement libérale où, en un clin d'œil, vos droits politiques et humains peuvent être révoqués, y compris votre droit de contester votre gouvernement devant un tribunal ?
It seems that our rulers, here in the 'liberal' West, have homed in on a new way of turning a person into a non-person.
Here is a man, Hüseyin Doğru, a German journalist (of Turkish origins, but not a dual citizen) whom the EU authorities have found a novel, immensely cruel, way of punishing for his coverage of, and views on, Palestine.
The German authorities learned a lesson from my case. Not wishing to be answerable in court for any ban on pro-Palestinian voices (similar to the court case I am dragging them through currently), they found another way: A direct sanction by the EU utilising some hitherto unused directive, one introduced at the beginning of the Ukraine war, that allows Brussels to sanction any citizen of the EU it deems to be working for Russian interests. Clinging to the argument that Hüseyin’s website/podcast used to be shown also on Ruptly (among other platforms), they are using this directive aimed at an ‘anti-Russian asset’ to destroy a journalist who dared oppose the Palestinian genocide.
In practice, this means that Hüseyin’s bank account is frozen; that if you or I were to give him cash to buy groceries or make rent then we would be considered his accomplices and subject to similar sanctions; it also means that if he were a civil servant, he would be fired; if he were a student he would be expelled from his university; if he received a pension it would be suspended; if he received any social benefit it would be frozen. It also, astonishingly, means that he cannot leave Germany!
Last, but definitely not least, it means that Hüseyin cannot sue his government for turning him into a non-person but only challenge the European Commission in Brussels – where he is not even allowed to go!
Need I say more? Is it not abundantly clear that we live, today, in a nominally liberal Europe where, in a jiffy, your political and human rights can be rescinded, including your right to challenge your government in a court of law?

The OffG View: Fake binaries, fake crises, fake heroes
In two years of lies, the pandemic has revealed at least one undeniable truth – we really are living in a “new normal”.
They kept telling us “Covid” would usher one in, and for once they weren’t lying.
The world is different, and we need to live in it as it is, rather than pretending the old rules still apply. The entire geopolitical paradigm has shifted, and we need to shift along with it.
One of our editors recently wrote this on our Telegram channel, and it really is the best summation both of the current situation, and OffG’s editorial position.
There is a titanic struggle going on right now globally between the forces of darkness/enslavement and the human desire for truth and freedom.
**It’s not about Biden v Trump
It’s not about Labour v Tories
It’s not about Russia v Ukraine
It’s not about East v West
It’s not about men v women
It’s not about LBGT v straight**
All those things are either pure theater, invented controversies, or internal struggles between rival gangs of exploiters.
The real struggle is the one the “pandemic” lie inadvertently exposed to us all in stark clarity, and which we are all now being driven to forget as quickly as possible by all the above distractions.
It’s between us as individual humans and the techno-fascism that is being rolled out globally.
It’s between truth and the matrix of lies we are being invited to live in, populated with fake binaries, fake crises, fake solutions and fake heroes.
In two years of lies, the pandemic has revealed at least one undeniable truth – we really are living in a “new normal”. They kept telling us “Covid” would usher one in…

[Nouvel ordre mondial] Pendant que l’Ukraine flambe, le puçage des populations continue
Rien de tel qu’une bonne crise pour occuper les esprits. Et faire oublier une bonne crise. Et faire obstinément avancer un agenda mondial.
Pas de doute : il y a une méchante guerre en Ukraine dont rien n’indique pour le moment qu’elle sera gagnée facilement par les Russes ou les Ukrainiens. La propagande des deux côtés est maintenant sans répit, propagande des deux côtés qui s’ajoute aux biais des médias occidentaux pourris de déformations plus ou moins professionnelles et d’une absence d’auto-critique que la pandémie (rappelez-vous, c’était la crise précédente) n’avait absolument pas remis en question.
Les esprits sont donc tous tournés vers l’Europe de l’Est et chacun y va de sa fine analyse sur le caractère imprédictible (ou prétendu tel) de Poutine, sur les forces en présence, sur les vraies raisons du conflit et, bien sûr, sur les objectifs réels des uns des autres, dont tout le monde sait qu’ils sont accessibles à quelques clics de souris, sur l’un ou l’autre réseau social pas du tout contrôlé de bout en bout.
Et après deux années à découvrir que nos médias racontaient à peu près n’importe quoi à peu près tout le temps, tout le monde a immédiatement oublié. On recommence à donc écouter avec ferveur les mêmes médias débiter les mêmes approximations, les mêmes mensonges, à cacher les mêmes vérités inconfortables au discours officiel, participant ainsi à l’espèce de communion d’esprit débilitante dans laquelle une masse considérable d’individus barbote avec une certaine volupté.
C’est extraordinairement pratique parce que ça permet de faire passer complètement en dehors du champ de vision toute une avalanche de nouvelles qui ne sont bonnes que pour une infime proportion de l’Humanité et qui sont des cauchemars en devenir pour plus des 99.9% restants. À l’instar d’un gorille au milieu d’un jeu de balle qu’absolument aucun observateur ne semble voir tant on lui a focalisé l’attention sur la baballe, les médias et les politiciens actuels semblent décidés à nous faire compter les passes pour oublier le gorille au milieu du jeu
Car au moment même où Poutine tentait son aventure ukrainienne, propulsant l’Europe puis le monde dans une torpeur pré-thermonucléaire avec des petits bouts de combinaison NBC et des gros morceaux de guerre pas assez froide, la presse relayait avec une discrétion de violette plusieurs avancées majeures de différentes entités étatiques et para-étatiques dans le domaine de l’identité électronique.
C’est ainsi qu’avec vigueur et obstination, l’OMS continue de pousser l’idée d’imposer un passeport vaccinal mondial, bien évidemment électronique, présenté comme la clé de déplacements internationaux fluides et joyeux.
Eh oui : même si l’expérience passée des petits Pass Sanitaires puis vaccinaux aura permis de bien prendre conscience de la société à deux vitesses que les institutions promotrices tentaient de mettre en place, l’agenda se poursuit sans sembler vouloir dérailler. Et le fait que ces pass et autres numérotations citoyennes puissent être, très concrètement, employés pour mettre en place ségrégations, divisions et punitions sur chaque individu ne semble plus effaroucher qu’une petite bande d’irréductibles (d’ailleurs commodément appelés complotistes ou tout autre qualificatif discréditant du moment, depuis vaccino-sceptique ou antivax jusqu’à fasciste).
Mieux encore : en parallèle de l’OMS et de ses funestes projets d’étiquetage de la population, les États-Unis, bien qu’abandonnant État par État les différentes obligations plus ou moins ridicules qu’ils avaient mises en place, ne s’empêchent pourtant pas de réfléchir très fort à la mise en place d’un passeport vaccinal local : le projet de « SMART Health card » permettra enfin de numériser les actuels petits cartons vaccinaux du CDC et de bien marquer le cheptel contribuable (électroniquement d’abord, le fer rouge sera pour plus tard).
Le projet n’est pas simplement une idée en l’air qu’il conviendrait encore de fixer. En pratique, le fonctionnement précis de ce passeport est déjà suffisamment connu et détaillé pour permettre à pas mal d’autres pays de rejoindre les États-Unis (et l’OMS donc) dans leur envie folle de surveiller tout le monde, tout le temps : ainsi, toutes les provinces canadiennes ont déjà adopté la vérification de la SMART Health Card, tout comme Aruba, les îles Caïmans, Singapour et le Japon. En Afrique, la SMART Health Card est déployée au Kenya et au Rwanda, les premiers des 32 pays africains de l’alliance « Smart Africa » à adopter une approche numérique des dossiers médicaux.
Quant à l’Union européenne, … eh bien sans surprise, elle a déjà tout dans ses cartons dont une bonne partie sont maintenant déjà ouverts et ont leurs emballages déjà défaits : de la même façon qu’il convient de façon impérative de traquer l’individu partout aux Amériques et en Afrique, il ne serait pas convenable ni propret d’oublier l’Europe qui a donc bondi sur l’occasion de construire son système d’identité électronique, eID, qui permettra – cela va sans dire mais disons-le quand même – d’apporter la sécurité, la prospérité, la paix partout dans le monde (comme, du reste, l’Union européenne était censée apporter sécurité, prospérité et paix dans le monde avec le succès qu’on peut mesurer).
Grâce aux efforts déployés (sous couvert de « sécurité »), tous les États occidentaux puis, bientôt, tous les États mondiaux auront un moyen de pister chacun d’entre nous et, de façon bien plus pratique, de lui interdire toute transaction commerciale, toute interaction sociale, toute vie, sans avoir même à tirer le moindre coup de feu, sans avoir à faire usage de la force, sans avoir à mobiliser une police ou une armée coûteuses.
On ne sait pas comment s’achèvera le triste cirque ukrainien, mais rien ne semble vouloir arrêter l’asservissement des peuples. On détourne notre attention avec l’incohérence crasse maintenant habituelle (on veut la liberté des Ukrainiens mais on est farouchement contre celle des Français, non vaccinés, pas assez pucés-passés-QRCodisé, par exemple), mais c’est malheureusement pour mieux laisser toutes les autorités occidentales fabriquer nos propres chaines, placer nos propres barreaux à la prison que nous nous construisons avec application.
Par Hashtable Rien de tel qu’une bonne crise pour occuper les esprits. Et faire oublier une bonne crise. Et faire obstinément avancer un agenda mondial. Pas de doute : il y a une méchante guer…
I was trying to figure out another one so there can be a bit more #BrideMonth posting. Suika works and is cute. Of course, if an oni declares herself your bride, you have no right to argue or disagree. The strength she can display and the feelings she can provide are quite hard to avoid. Hope you can keep down your drink. You're in for some long nights. youtube.com/watch?v=Nx50kN3Rx1…

in reply to Devil May Kuklinski 🏴☠️☑️ • • •@RichardKuklinskisIcyGlare By us if you mean US, then yeah more inflation in the USA.
Outside USA it might cause deflation because offshore USD only exists as a musical chairs of promises about promises about someone eventually selling enough US government debt to settle all interbank liabilities denominated in USD outside USA. Those people will not get the same price for their US government bonds, to honor interbank transfers of USD for international trade settlement. A type of reverse money multiplier effect can happen which will feel like deflation outside USA. Not enough capital for international trade settlement.

in reply to Devil May Kuklinski 🏴☠️☑️ • • •@RichardKuklinskisIcyGlare The cost of living could rise by 40 to 70% over say 1 to 2 years. The increase in cost of living would not be uniform; essentials and imported goods would see the steepest rises. The poorest households would face the highest relative impact, as they spend a larger share of income on food, fuel, and other necessities.
During the 1970s, a period of high inflation and significant US dollar devaluation, the dollar lost about 75% of its purchasing power, and gold prices increased approximately 30-fold. Essential costs like gasoline, mortgages, and groceries surged by 60 to 100% over several years
