Lockdown 2.0: The IEA Has Released 10 Guidelines To Help The Public Prepare For The Coming Fuel Shortages And “Energy Lockdowns”

“…Don’t think that it can’t happen. Even now, the term “energy lockdown” is trending on social media all over the world…

“A new term has begun trending on social media as the global oil crisis deepens: “energy lockdown.” While the phrase evokes memories of COVID-19 restrictions, experts say it describes something very different—a set of government-enforced or encouraged measures to reduce fuel, gas and electricity consumption in response to severe supply shocks.

“The term gained traction following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to the Iran-Israel-US conflict, which has cut off about 20% of global oil supplies. On March 24, the sixth anniversary of India’s first COVID-19 lockdown, the term peaked as public anxiety mixed with historical memory.”

As you will see below, so far most of the energy-saving restrictions which have been introduced are voluntary.

But as global energy supplies get tighter and tighter, it is probably just a matter of time before mandatory restrictions become widespread.

The International Energy Agency is giving us some clear indications of what could be ahead. They have just released a list of 10 emergency guidelines that some users on social media are calling a “playbook” for future energy lockdowns…

“The “World’s energy watchdog” has announced a list of emergency measures the public should take to help deal with the ongoing energy crisis triggered by the war in the Middle East.

“Many on social media have branded the emergency energy playbook as “lockdown 2”. One critic said: “We’re not doing this again.” The International Energy Agency (IEA) has released the list of guidelines encouraging countries across the globe to reduce fuel usage.

“The suggestions given in the report, called “Sheltering from oil shocks”, consists of 10 steps focused on curbing fuel consumption. The IEA has also advised member countries – such as the UK and Australia – to prepare emergency measures to overcome oil demand.”

Needless to say, we are not being encouraged to wear masks this time around.

But we are being encouraged to avoid driving and to stay home…”

How the CIA Creates Mind-Controlled Superspies

“…Dr. Colin Ross is a psychiatrist whose specialty is dissociative identity disorder. In 1992, he physically traveled to a classified reading room in northern Virginia, passed through keyed submarine doors and secure corridors full of uniformed military personnel, and spent a full day reviewing all 149 MKUltra subprojects. He ordered all 15,000 pages. Then he cross-referenced every named researcher against published medical journals, pulling papers from library shelves one volume at a time in the pre-internet era. The result is CIA Doctors, one of the most thoroughly sourced books on mind control ever written. He also presented new research on human electromagnetic extramission that has implications for medicine, agriculture, and surveillance…”

OpenAI’s Video Plagiarism App Sora Was Reportedly Losing $1 Million A Day

OpenAI’s video app Sora launched last September. In no time, users started sharing generative slop, ripping off everything from Dragon Ball Z to SpongeBob. It’s now shutting down and a new Wall Street Journal report reveals why. It was shedding active users and costing the company a fortune. Allegedly $1 million a day, to be precise.

Psychoanalysts Are Resigning From The International Psychoanalytical Association Over its anti-Palestinian double standard.

“…The Palestine Mental Health Network is urging mental health professionals to resign from the International Psychoanalytical Association over the organization’s anti-Palestinian bias.

(…)

The IPA has been silent on Gaza for over two years. More than 73,000 killed. Over 20,000 children dead. Famine engineered. Torture documented. The International Court of Justice named Israel’s conduct plausible genocide in January 2024. The UN Commission of Inquiry confirmed it as genocide in September 2025. The International Association of Genocide Scholars confirmed it as genocide. The IPA has issued no statement, called for no ceasefire, named no crime. The words “occupation,” “genocide,” “apartheid,” “siege,” “collective punishment,” and “ethnic cleansing” have not appeared in any formal IPA communication on Palestine.

This is not a story about institutional cowardice alone. It is a story about selective institutional courage.

When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the IPA moved within days: a dedicated crisis page, an emergency relief fund, clinical resources, and a statement declaring the war “immoral” and demanding it “must stop.” IPA President Heribert Blass stated: “We demand an immediate end to the war.” We demand. For Gaza — across more than two years, across 73,000 killed, across children shot in the head daily, across famine engineered and torture documented — the IPA has not demanded anything. It has not called for a single ceasefire. For Ukraine: moral clarity and institutional mobilization. For Gaza: silence. The IPA would have us believe this difference is a legal matter. It is not. It is race…”

The Biggest Story Nobody’s Talking About: ICE’s ‘Human Warehouse’ Network

“…In July 2025, Congress gave ICE $45 billion for immigration detention. The plan, labeled “Detention Reengineering Initiative” by ICE, has intentions to enact a new detention model by September 30, 2026 by purchasing and modifying commercial warehouses to hold up to 10,000 detainees and create a network where smaller centers feed into larger ones.

ICE’s acting director, Todd Lyons described ICE’s intention as “[Amazon] Prime, but with human beings”.

The plan sees 24 warehouses acquired and converted – 8 “mega centers” that can hold 10,000 detainees and 16 regional processing centers to consolidate the amount of ICE detention facilities from around 300 to only 34 by the end of the year…”

CIA files detail US plans to control the world by the weather

“…Once top-secret CIA files have detailed America’s plans to control the world by manipulating the weather.

The documents, declassified in 2003, discussed the controversial topic of weather modification, the tactic of launching rockets or using planes to dump chemicals into the atmosphere that alter the climate and local storm systems.

Although the resurfaced documents from 1965 did not mention the specific chemicals used in the experiments, they did discuss the need for more funding of the weather modification projects that would soon be used as a weapon of war.

In fact, the memos noted that federal funding for the secret program was set to be four times higher in 1967 – the same year the US began spraying toxins over Vietnam to cause floods and landslides…”

Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025

“…Abstract:

In 2025, US aerospace forces can own the weather by capitalizing on emerging technologies and focusing development of those technologies to war fighting applications. Such a capability offers the war fighter tools to shape the battlespace in ways never before possible. It provides opportunities to impact operations across the full spectrum of conflict and is pertinent to all possible futures. The purpose of this paper is to outline a strategy for the use of a future weather modification system to achieve military objectives rather than to provide a detailed technical road map. A high risk, high reward endeavor, weather modification offers a dilemma not unlike the splitting of the atom While some segments of society will always be reluctant to examine controversial issues such as weather modification, the tremendous military capabilities that could result from this field are ignored at our own peril. From enhancing friendly operations or disrupting those of the enemy via small scale tailoring of natural weather patterns to complete dominance of global communications and counterspace control, weather modification offers the war fighter a wide range of possible options to defeat or coerce an adversary. Some of the potential capabilities a weather modification system could provide to a war fighting commander in chief CINC are listed in table 1. Technology advancements in five major areas are necessary for an integrated weather modification capability 1 advanced nonlinear modeling techniques, 2 computational capability, 3 information gathering and transmission, 4 a global sensor array, and 5 weather intervention techniques. Some intervention tools exist today and others may be developed and refined in the future…”

The Increasingly Dire Costs of the War on Iran

“…Economist Jeffrey Sachs calls the Israeli and American war on Iran the beginning of World War III, driven by a “madman” and know-nothing president unrestrained by “hollowed out” politicians and surrounded by “sycophants.” Some of the most cogent early coverage of the war thus frames this conflict for what it is: a lawless, soulless, brainless killing or wounding of thousands upon thousands of Iranian children and adults and displacing millions. An enduring menace to the global economy, this unnecessary and illegal war also pushes the world toward long-term environmental disaster…”

This is Evil, Not the Banality of Evil!

“…Sixty-three years ago, Hannah Arendt coined the concept of the “banality of evil,” describing Holocaust organizer Adolf Eichmann as disturbingly normal rather than a monstrous fanatic. Arendt didn’t mean that Eichmann was not evil, but that he was a small and ordinary man with an “inability to think for himself.” She found a “depthless ordinariness” in Eichmann at his trial in Jerusalem, which accounted for the provocative term of “banality.”

Today, we are watching Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu conduct a war that is evil. There is no banality to be observed. They are not ordinary people. They are evil…”

Inside the world of preppers getting ready for society’s collapse

“…Prepping is a global movement of people getting ready for the eventuality that society will – in part or fully – collapse.

It often involves having a supply of food and learning skills required to fend for yourself.

Leigh, a dad of three, served in the Army but now runs a dedicated preppers shop and is a survival course provider.

Surrounded by trees in rural Powys, it is a tranquil environment for a shop that had all the gear you could imagine to survive the end of civilisation – including cross bows and walls of knives.

Leigh said: “Some people are preparing for the end of the world, a nuclear attack or whatever it is and I always say ‘look when it comes to nuclear attack, it’s not impossible, but it’s highly unlikely’.

“You’re better off preparing against the things that you are more likely to come across.”…”

A ‘murder’ of crows over Tel Aviv triggers chatter of bad omen and biblical prophecies on social media

“…A murder of crows was seen over Tel Aviv on Tuesday, with netizens quickly linking it to prophecies of doomsday. Thousands of these birds took over the city’s skyline, hovering and circling over buildings. Videos showing the crows went viral as people watched the scene aghast, wondering if it could mean something amid the ongoing Iran war and the Middle East crisis. Others wrote that the eerie scene was a sign of impending disaster. The scene was not ordinary as the crows appeared to form black clouds. Residents watched the birds as the sheer number left them stunned. On social media, people called the eerie scene a “harbinger of doom”, as a user wrote on X, it is “often followed by total catastrophe”. Others linked it to biblical prophecy and cited a verse from the Bible’s Book of Revelation 19:17. They claimed it describes “an angel standing in the sun, shouting to birds flying in midair to gather for the great supper of God.”…”
