2) The Tungusic languages, also known as Manchu-Tungus or simply Tungus, form a language family spoken in Eastern Siberia and Manchuria by Tungusic peoples. The term "Tungusic" is from an exonym for the Evenk people (Ewenki) used by the Yakuts ("tongus"). It was borrowed into Russian, and ultimately into English as "Tungus".
Have We Finally Reached Peak Davos?
By Tom Luongo - 21 NOV 2021

If you look around the headlines from the past week or so, you will see a startling similarity among them. Coming in from all over the world are mandates from one country’s government after another instituting medical apartheid over the COVID-9/11 jab.
Where these restrictions are the most draconian are within the walls of the European Union, that region where The Davos Crowd’s influence is undoubtedly the strongest.
Austria’s new Chancellor, who’s been on the job for around a month, is now fining and arresting the unjabbed for even leaving their homes.
A month ago this guy was a minor political hack in a mostly irrelevant central European country, now he’s issuing orders like he owns the place. Unfortunately, for most of Europe, that is actually the case, if not in name but in practice.
The list goes on and on and on — Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, just to name a few.
At the same time, you have to look at really hard to find any mention of the massive protests in these same countries against these mandates. But, the videos flow freely around the internet if you are willing to look for them.
The protests in Rotterdam turned violent on Friday (19 NOV) when two people were shot dead by police during the mayhem. Rome was literally overflowing with people on the streets saying no to this arbitrary and indefensible stratification of society.
Vienna saw police stand down and join the protestors.
These mandates are coming because of the massive uptick in COVID-9/11 cases in all of these places where the experimental mRNA gene therapies were deployed en masse. Where the jab is job one, the infection rates are growing exponentially.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, in recent appearances, looks openly angry and puzzled that the virus was not defeated and the rate of mutation making public policy a difficult maze to navigate.
He just publicly offered himself up as a guinea pig for the latest booster for the country’s successful adenovirus therapy, Sputnik V, to help enhance Russia’s ability to fight off the disease. Unlike the mRNA therapies, the rate of complications with it are very low and if anything seem to, at worst, offer no added benefit.
[Note: In the latest news, Russian President Vladimir Putin (69) says he's feeling "fine" after taking an experimental nasal COVID jab earlier this week while also receiving a booster dose of the experimental "Sputnik V" jab as well. Denis Logunov, deputy director of the Gamaleya National Research Center, which was responsible for developing Sputnik, said that taking the two vaccines together would help better protect Putin against infection in the upper respiratory tract. - Bloomberg 24 Nov 2021]
But the title of this piece asks a question that seems inappropriate given the full spectrum blitz for power that Davos and their minions are putting on.
Have we reached PEAK DAVOS?
I think we have but that does not mean things get better from here, only that this is as much pressure as they can bring to bear and it will either work OR it will be clear that it will fail, albeit very messily.
So, let’s start with the obvious. Places like Austria, Australia, and even Italy will not go along with this. The sizes of the protests grow daily and as the desperation on both sides grows any further attempts at control will be met with violence, regrettably. Hopefully, we see more scenes like I linked above [Vienna, Austria] rather than what I fear is more likely.
But, let’s back out a bit further and discuss the failure of COP26. This article by Rupert Darwall of RealClearEnergy.com focuses too much on the failure of Boris Johnson’s government to land the necessary body blows to gather the international cats to come together on CLIMATE CHANGE, but the results from Glasgow were pretty obvious.
No amount of schmoozing and glad-handing will overcome the enlightened self-interest of nations (or people) to destroy their energy production (society). This time it was CHINA and INDIA watering down the language of the COP26 statement to the point of irrelevancy.
Because energy production is the basis for civilization itself. The entire CLIMATE CHANGE scam is nothing more than an attack on civilization.
The dissenters at COP26 showed their power within the global community and without their firm commitment to ending burning coal to produce a flow of electrons there was no way everyone else would fall into place.
China is far more advanced on this front than even Europe is. But to see India, as MARTIN ARMSTRONG talked about recently, using Climate Change as an excuse to lock people down is outrageous.
[ MARTIN ARMSTRONG is another American economist to watch out, check his blog: Armstrong Economics -- ]
It goes to show that while Prime Minister Narendra Modi may be Davos-affiliated, he’s also smart enough to know that he can pick and choose from their mandates to serve his interests best.
This is what I’ve meant in the past about seeing the fraying of Davos’ various factions (covered in this podcast from June). When members of the CARTEL think for themselves eventually the cartel collapses. India would only issue an order like this because, as Armstrong rightly points out, they are worried about civil unrest from economic collapse.
But that doesn’t mean that Modi will get rid of the coal plants because he knows that stable electricity and heat are the surest ways to minimize the civil unrest. Catch meet 22 for Davos.
[The catch-22 phrase mean a problematic situation for which the only solution is denied by a circumstance inherent in the problem or by a rule, for example: the show-business catch-22 -- no work unless you have an agent, no agent unless you've worked. Also: the circumstance or rule that denies a solution.]
A lot of world leaders will begin seeing this same light AS WE MOVE INTO 2022. Their power still rests on the consent of the governed. It’s a RACE AGAINST TIME NOW FOR DAVOS. From the death of COVID-9/11 as a thing to justify our compliance to the various factions seeing their opportunities to take advantage for their own gain (Wall Street for example), the balance of power globally could shift quickly.
China’s Evergrande policies are a major source of market instability right now — See this interview with Mittdolcino.com I just published explaining how all these parts fit together. China forcing property developers into default, like Evergrande, is enhancing the demand for dollars and yuan and the best place to pull them from is Europe, whose leadership is on a collision course with hyperinflation and debt default.
The crashing euro alongside a strengthening dollar and yuan means that Europe is getting torn apart at the seams. It means INFLATION there is going to skyrocket with the next round of CPI numbers and Christine Lagarde will look even sillier than the last time she tried to sell her bullshit to the world at the recent ECB policy presser. [Graph]
Davos couldn’t pull the world together in Glasgow. So, they are now going full court press for control where they can over COVID-9/11 jabs. The two issues are inextricably linked.
Let’s take this one step further. They haven’t gotten rid of Jerome Powell at the Fed, yet. They may not get the “Build Back Better” bill through this Congress. The rising dollar is torpedoing their plans for hyperinflation of energy prices.
Even the major oil companies see the writing on the wall.
ROYAL DUTCH SHELL (NYSE:RDS.A) just announced a complete corporate restructuring to move the company’s domicile OUT of the European Union and fully into the U.K. to avoid the insanity of the EU’s ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) requirements.
Shell lost a recent court ruling from the Hague and it responded by taking its company OUT of its homeland and removing any traces of Dutch from its name. The new company will be called SHELL ENERGY. Shell is playing a waiting game against Davos now.
And when a company as politically connected as Shell makes a move like this you know the pressure is lifting. I’ve covered them for years and they’ve always been AHEAD of the political curve, knowing where things were headed and where to pull out of.
So, while Shell may make noise publicly about phasing out ‘fossil fuels’ and all that rot to satisfy the ESG jackals, their actions were to extend the life of its primary business by avoiding the “pass a law, make reality” chaos of the unelected EUSSR Commissars.

This is why I’m now considering “Peak Davos” as potentially real. If I’m right, this means their power is at its maximum, yet they still have tremendous inertia on their side. Both China and Russia are taking full advantage of the chaos they are creating.
But, what’s clear to me now is this is what the worst case scenario looks like; CHAOS AROUND THE GLOBE with a patchwork of mandates being implemented amidst massive resistance and enforced ECONOMIC RUIN driving world leaders to the BRINK OF WAR.
Don’t think for a second both Xi and Putin don’t understand this dynamic.
At the same time, however, Davos has failed to overcome the enlightened self-interest of the developing powers they thought they could co-opt politically through the application of funny money. Remember George Soros recently calling Xi ‘the devil’ himself? Do you think he’s got money and agents in China he can’t extract from there?
That’s why I think the key here in the U.S. will be the next few weeks leading up to the December 3rd drop dead date for the DEBT CEILING. Nancy Pelosi will try one last time to use it to blackmail Mitch McConnell (Republican), serving as Senate Minority Leader, to cave and pass the BUILD BACK BETTER bill, designed to destroy the U.S.’s economic future.
There seems to be just enough internal resistance within the U.S. political scene to keep this from happening. And McConnell has to know his days are numbered regardless.
The bond markets are beginning to smell a rat. (Graph)
If Pelosi fails and has to raise it on her own without the Build Back Better bill signed, then the Democratic party collapses completely in 2022 as all of their leverage over the Republicans and the Fed vanishes as we enter the primary season for the MID-TERM ELECTIONS. We will see defections within Congress as Pelosi’s speakership fails. If she succeeds then we push towards a future with a compromised U.S. facing a two-front war with Russia and China whom both feel the EUSSR is a party to and will punish accordingly.
If that isn’t a signal of PEAK DAVOS, I don’t know what would be.

And some interesting commentaries
Not a single MSM outlet is interviewing any of the EXPERT DISSENTERS –- Dr. Michael Yeadon; Byram Bridle Ph.D; Prof. Luc Montagnier; Geert Vanden Bossche DMV, Ph.D.; Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi (a German-Thai-American microbiologist); etc… and the mainstream social media platforms are blocking them. Look around to find out their opinions.
The Globalists will ultimately fail but they will do a lot of damage along the way. Pride cometh before the fall.
Klaus Schwab, an engineer, “found” and run the WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM (WEF) at Davos in Switzerland in 1971. A role he continues to this day, some 52 years later.
Davos is nothing more than the well deserved whipping organ for the British Crown [with hidden faces, Rothschild; Rockefeller; !?] and the rest of the European aristocracy if and when the whole thing goes South and ends in tears.
The American corollary is the ASPEN INSTITUTE.
Decent article by Luongo, the only thing the author doesn't get is authoritarians do not back down, they do not compromise. They have pushed these experimental mRNA gene therapies narrative to the point that they can not back down, or they lose what little credibility they have left with the useful masses who take their narratives.
Make no mistake, the elite will burn it all to the ground to remake their neo-feudalistic future. They will not be affected by the changes or so they think.
some brainstorming lines...
Nothing has fundamentally changed. Well except . . . .
You're the "indigenous people", the people who inhabit the land, you're the Shiites, you're the huge mass numbers considered sheep (there are nearly 8 billions nowadays) standing in the way of the Ultra Wealthy and Very Powerful global elites and what they want, consuming and competing in resources with them, the pantheon in the western world. Which is basically everything.
All this silly cognitive dissonance is the result of Elaborate Belief Systems Constructed to sanitize, absolve, entrench, sanctify your and their roles in the western power structure the last few centuries, esp. since the Industrial Revolution age. The most recent and failed rationalization . . . .
We did some extreme bad things in the past (genocides and other mass killings: Red Indians, Aboriginals, etc; colonialism; imperialism) (true) but we've done many good things too (also true) and we've reformed and now we're above all that (false). The locals or "indigenous people" reform and develop notwithstanding, colonialism (or imperialism) didn't evaporate into a cloud of holiness. It morphed into something more vicious, more hidden, more robust and more profitable.
A couple of generations of denial, delusion, and comfort and rat-like perspicacity seems to fade rather badly. Sense of danger? Combativeness? Seem to work better when fighting for survival and/or clawing up the Social Pyramid. Interesting it highlights the Sociopath advantage. Why their influence is so great beyond their very small numbers (~.001% of the population). They have an innate grasp of reality aside from controlling immense wealth and power over centuries.
Is the western war against hybrid Public/State Capitalism (Russia, China) because multi-nationals and western government are both afraid THAT MODEL might work with low taxes and relative supply/demand stability? That their own subject of control will eventually see the alternative, better working model for the general populace when their current system is rotting?
One of the first things to do when imposing a Corporatist System is to get rid of SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) because they generally serve their clients, not the government and these SMEs cannot easily be controlled. That leaves corporate/commercial power in the hands of Big Money (MNC / TNC). But it has to go through a process of dancing on pinheads with the all powerful political class to find territory and interlock. That is what we're seeing now in the west. And Covid restrictions and lockdown are effective measure to kill off the SMEs and consolidate economic power into the Big Money (as happening now in the western realm).
“Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride.”

It's a proud ROC tradition, their prostitutes are (yes, still today, hence the euphemism "八大行业“) licensed by the state and everything.
Anyone shared this? ROC supporting ruling party(right-wing) during Honduras elections against opposition left wing party with aid(wants to recognise PRC over ROC). Imagine if PRC did this! You can see how the media is biased when this doesn't blow up over the news.
