Constructive People,
Surplus Energy Economics, Putting it together, part one - HOW THE ECONOMY REALLY WORKS
Debts and quasi-debts are escalating, and the financial system looks increasingly fragile. Politics, both domestic and international, has been degenerating into worsening conflicts over scarce and diminishing economic resources.
The only way to navigate turbulent times is to ‘know how things work’, and apply that knowledge to situations and cases.
Reflecting the urgency demanded by accelerating deterioration, this essay examines the fundamentals of economics, money and prosperity, explaining why everything is ultimately traceable to energy...
..It was Warren Buffett who put it best – “The way I see it is that my money represents an enormous number of claim checks on society. It is like I have these little pieces of paper that I can turn into consumption” ...
..Money, in short, is an exercisable claim on physical products and services. Importantly, money exists both as a flow of claims exercised in the present and as a stock of claims set aside for exercise in the future, though its central claim characteristic is the same in both cases.....We can create money at will, but we do not have a comparable ability to conjure infinite material supply...
..This understanding points towards an absolute need to think conceptually in terms of two economies. One of these is the “real” economy of material products and services. The other is the parallel “financial” economy of money, transactions and credit...
..In the physical economy, energy is indispensable for making goods and services available to society. This is done by using energy to convert raw materials into products, artefacts and infrastructures...This understanding points towards an absolute need to think conceptually in terms of two economies. One of these is the “real” economy of material products and services. The other is the parallel “financial” economy of money, transactions and credit...
This productive process has a thermal counterpart – whenever energy is used to convert raw materials into products, so energy is always converted from a dense to a diffuse form. The economy is thus a productive-dissipative system...
..The concepts of money as claim, energy causality, the two economies and the productive-dissipative equation need one further addition. This reflects the simple fact that energy is never “free”. Energy cannot be put to use without energy supply infrastructures, and these, being material, cannot be created, operated, maintained or replaced without using energy.
Accordingly, “whenever energy is accessed for our use, some of this energy is always consumed in the access process, becoming unavailable for any other economic purpose”.
If, as here, we call this “consumed in access” component the Energy Cost of Energy, we arrive at the principle of ECoE... If we had to use 100 units of energy (or more) to put 100 units of energy to use, the economy would not exist...
..Globally, trend ECoEs have long been on a relentlessly upwards trajectory, rising from 2.0% of energy used in 1980 to 11.3% now (see Fig. 1A). Fossil fuel depletion – the natural tendency to use lowest-cost resources first, and leave costlier alternatives for later – has been the primary driver of rises in ECoEs...
..Renewables cannot be regarded as like-for-like successors for fossil fuels. They can’t be built, operated, maintained or replaced without the use of legacy energy from oil, natural gas and coal, which ties their own ECoEs to those of fossil fuels. Accordingly, “whenever energy is accessed for our use, some of this energy is always consumed in the access process, becoming unavailable for any other economic purpose”.
If, as here, we call this “consumed in access” component the Energy Cost of Energy, we arrive at the principle of ECoE... If we had to use 100 units of energy (or more) to put 100 units of energy to use, the economy would not exist...
..Globally, trend ECoEs have long been on a relentlessly upwards trajectory, rising from 2.0% of energy used in 1980 to 11.3% now (see Fig. 1A). Fossil fuel depletion – the natural tendency to use lowest-cost resources first, and leave costlier alternatives for later – has been the primary driver of rises in ECoEs...
Wind and solar power have lesser specific densities than carbon fuels, although difficulties with portability and difficulty of storage, rather than simple intermittency and low energy-mass density, are the critical drawbacks with renewable energy systems.
Neither is it at all clear than any form of electricity is suited to take over the economic ‘heavy lifting’ currently undertaken by fossil fuels...
..By the mid-1990s, rising ECoEs had created an economic phenomenon known at the time as “secular stagnation”. Our attempts to counter this trend by flooding the economy with debt (“credit adventurism”) led directly to the global financial crisis of 2008-09. This in turn led on to the “monetary adventurism” of QE, ZIRP and NIRP...
..The postulated saviours of the ‘business as usual’ of prosperity growth are monetary stimulus and technological innovation. But neither can free us from the consequences of a maturing and deteriorating fossil fuel energy system.....It is no exaggeration to state that we have entered an era of extreme and worsening uncertainty and instability.
We can only navigate this turbulence if we recognise that every economic and related trend is ultimately traceable to energy. https://surplusenergyeconomics.wordpress.com/2025/09/15/310-putting-it-together-part-one/

The Honest Sorcerer, The End Of The Road - The point beyond which progress or economic survival cannot continue
..Whatever will be the proximate cause, this coming banking and debt crisis can — and in my opinion most likely will — trigger a global deflationary crisis. Just like the famous Wall Street crash of 1929 did... In the meantime both the velocity of money and copper to gold ratios have now fallen to their corresponding historic lows — just like a century ago — indicating a complete lack of confidence in economic recovery. ‘But hey, at least the stock market’s doing fine!’ https://thehonestsorcerer.substack.com/p/the-end-of-the-road
Dowd says, “Trump has to deal with a turd of a disaster.” On the phony jobs number alone, Dowd says, “You could say this is statistical fraud or bureaucratic incompetence. Let’s say it’s both. It such an egregious 7 standard deviation. 3.4 standard deviation is the chance of lightning hitting you at least once in your lifetime. It’s not likely. 7 deviation is suggestive of fraud–full stop.”
All the frauds propping up the Biden economy isn’t causing inflation now–just the opposite. Dowd says, “The housing market is rolling over because people can’t afford them. What was keeping a floor in the housing market were rents by the illegal aliens. That’s all going the wrong way. Trump is deporting people, and we closed down the border. Our housing report that we put out a month ago . . . all the indicators are rolling over, and we are going to have a housing recession. We are going to see inflation go lower because housing is 36% of the economy. We expect to see a sub 2% print on inflation.”
What about the Fed cutting interest rates next week? Dowd says, “They cut rates in the Great Financial Crisis starting in 2007. Our stock market did not bottom until 2009. This is the beginning of what I think is the ‘panic rate cut cycle.’ We are going to see the Fed cutting rates all the way down into this asset deflation that we see coming in this panic rate cut cycle. Cutting into slowing growth does not cause assets to reinflate. They are behind the curve, and they are going to be cutting all the way down as we deflate.”
Dowd still likes gold and says his clients are acquiring gold and land, not crypto. He also says there are big problems coming in the not-so-distant future from China and Europe. Dowd says his forecast of the world going into a “very deep recession” will come true soon. https://usawatchdog.com/beginning-of-panic-rate-cut-cycle-ed-dowd/

Ed Dowd on X: "What we have in this country is a class problem. We have, you know, 1% of global wealth is the 1% of the population of the globe owns 50% of the global wealth. So this is a class issue. It's been going on for a long time, since the great financial crisis and since 2000. And we have, And this is not just a US Problem. This is a global problem.
"And when we get to these types of situations they're cured one of two ways. The elites pay an existential price and or the system collapses and they're forced to share the wealth again. So this is how it's done. "I'm not suggesting it's imminent, but this is why you're seeing the rise of populism, and this is also why you're seeing the rise of division. Because, the way you control the many is you make the many hate each other. You make the pitchfork guy look at the torch guy and say, hey, the torch guys are trying to take our pitchforks. And that's what's going on today. We got all this finger pointing. This is a class issue. It's not a black, white, Hispanic, left, right, Muslim.

100,000, 150,000, 500,000, a million, three million? An estimate of the size of the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally in central London on Saturday is evidently challenging, perhaps impossible... Suffice to say the numbers who were there, and those that would have liked to have been there, were extraordinary – historic even – and far surpassed the expectations of the police or the mainstream media. A better question might be: what does it all mean?...
..One take-away message from the day is that the authorities underestimated the breadth and depth of feeling of people in UK who oppose the direction the country seems to be taking. The rally was called ‘Unite the Kingdom’ and the proliferation of Union Jacks, flags of St George, Saltires and Welsh Dragons evidenced the UK-wide appeal of this event – not just how frustrated people feel, but a renewed spirit of Unionism.
..The number of crosses and placards proclaiming Jesus Christ our saviour was, to me at least, surprising. “Jesus is King” was chanted from the stage.....One take-away message from the day is that the authorities underestimated the breadth and depth of feeling of people in UK who oppose the direction the country seems to be taking. The rally was called ‘Unite the Kingdom’ and the proliferation of Union Jacks, flags of St George, Saltires and Welsh Dragons evidenced the UK-wide appeal of this event – not just how frustrated people feel, but a renewed spirit of Unionism.
..The mood, if it can be summarised, was not angry or aggressive, just defiant, determined and resolutely patriotic. I would summarise it thus: “We are British and proud of it. We quite like our little island and don’t want it transformed. We are sick of being smeared and caricatured, censored and silenced.” https://dailysceptic.org/2025/09/15/what-i-saw-at-the-unite-the-kingdom-rally/

The Samsung SGR-A1 project started with an initial investment by the South Korean government in 2003 and was developed by four institutions led primarily by Hanwha Techwin and Korea University. With prototypes produced in 2006, the system was designed to replace human-oriented guarding along the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and to provide the "perfect guard operation"...
..Many of the Samsung SGR-A1's features resemble the standard sentry gun and similar automated stationary weapons like the Super aEgis II and the Israeli Sentry Tech systems. The system, costing approximately $200,000 (227 million won), includes an uncooled infrared thermographic camera for detection, a weapons interface that allows for mounted weapons, and a combination of an IR illuminator and a laser rangefinder to track and follow targets. It also includes a digital video recorder which captures footage for up to 60 days and three other cameras used separately for surveillance, tracking and zoom.
The Samsung SGR-A1 presumes any person entering the DMZ is an enemy and, upon detection, will attempt to identify the target through voice recognition. If a proper access code is not provided within a short amount of time, the system can choose between sounding an alarm, firing rubber bullets or engaging the target with other weapons. The system can also be overridden by an operator, who can also communicate via built-in microphone and audio system...
..A human-in-the-loop (HITL) system, if applied to the Samsung SGR-A1, would mean the weapon must wait for commands from a human operator before acting upon its targets. This contrasts with a human over the loop (HOTL) system, which would allow the Samsung SGR-A1 to autonomously engage targets while allowing for human intervention to stop it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SGR-A1
Top German football club to question player over sympathy for Charlie Kirk – media
Borussia Dortmund’s midfielder Felix Nmecha has drawn criticism on social media for expressing his condolences to the murdered activist’s family
On Friday, Nmecha posted a black-and-white photo of Kirk in his Instagram stories with a caption: “Rest in peace with the Lord.” The post reportedly drew largely negative reactions on social media.
The footballer then changed the caption, focusing on Kirk’s family. “Celebrating the murder of a husband and a father of two, a man who peacefully stood up for his beliefs and values, is really evil and shows how much we really need Jesus Christ,” Nmecha wrote in a follow-up post...
..The German SID sports news outlet reported on Friday that the club would review the posts and seek a dialogue with the player, adding that no punishment was planned for him.
However, German tabloid Bild noted the same day that Nmecha’s contract has an “Instagram clause” which states that he could face millions of dollars in penalties for social media posts violating the club’s values. https://swentr.site/news/624696-german-football-sympathy-charlie-kirk/

Macron admitted NATO behind Ukraine conflict – Sachs
The French president privately said the US-led military bloc instigated the crisis, according to the economist https://swentr.site/russia/624687-sachs-macron-nato-ukraine/
Secretary of State Rubio declared that Poland will be involved in arrangements to reliably provide Ukraine with future security guarantees. He said that the United States aims to guarantee a lasting peace in Ukraine.
But now Sikorski is, rightfully one must say, doubting the usefulness of any 'security guarantees':
The security guarantees currently being discussed for Ukraine are unlikely to work in the event of a new invasion, since there are no hunters in the West to fight with Russia. This was stated by Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski.
"If we provide Ukraine with security guarantees, we say that we can start a war against Russia. And I don't think it's convincing that there is trust in it. Anyone who wants to fight with Russia can start it right now. But I don't see any takers," Sikorsky said.
There will never be any takers. Can we now finally bury that 'security guarantee' nonsense? https://www.moonofalabama.org/2025/09/ukraine-as-security-guarantees-get-buried-other-stupid-ideas-emerge.html#more

Turkish media recently claimed that Russia offered to buy back their country’s S-400s that it received in 2019 in order to then resell them to other clients, which Turkiye is supposedly receptive to since it wants to end its spat with the US over this and is also developing a domestic analogue that can replace them. Polish media added that “Ankara still does not actively use them. They were never integrated into NATO, their missiles are already halfway through their shelf life, and maintenance costs pose a burden”. https://korybko.substack.com/p/speculation-is-swirling-about-the

One of the doctors, US trauma surgeon Feroze Sidhwa, recalled his first day at the European Hospital in Gaza in March 2024, where he found four boys under 10 with identical head wounds within 48 hours, according to the report.
"How is it possible that here in this small hospital, within 48 hours, four children have come in who were shot in the head?" he told the paper. Over the following 13 days, he encountered nine more children with similar wounds.
Sidhwa later met a colleague who confirmed seeing the same injuries "almost every day" in another hospital. "That was the moment I decided: I have to find out what is happening here," he said.
Doctors interviewed stressed that such injuries were unlikely to be accidental. Forensic experts consulted by the newspaper said the uniform pattern suggested aimed fire, possibly by snipers or drones.

This autonomious sentry sniper system for the Korean DMZ would work: SGE-A1
The SGR-A1 is a type of autonomous sentry gun that was jointly developed by Samsung Techwin (now Hanwha Aerospace) and Korea University to assist South Korean troops in the Korean Demilitarized Zone. It is widely considered as the first unit of its kind to have an integrated system that includes surveillance, tracking, firing, and voice recognition.[1][2] While units of the SGR-A1 have been reportedly deployed, their number is unknown due to the project being "highly classified". The Samsung SGR-A1 project started with an initial investment by the South Korean government in 2003 and was developed by four institutions led primarily by Hanwha Techwin and Korea University. With prototypes produced in 2006, the system was designed to replace human-oriented guarding along the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and to provide the "perfect guard operation"...

The system, costing approximately $200,000 (227 million won), includes an uncooled infrared thermographic camera for detection, a weapons interface that allows for mounted weapons, and a combination of an IR illuminator and a laser rangefinder to track and follow targets. It also includes a digital video recorder which captures footage for up to 60 days and three other cameras used separately for surveillance, tracking and zoom.
The Samsung SGR-A1 presumes any person entering the DMZ is an enemy and, upon detection, will attempt to identify the target through voice recognition. If a proper access code is not provided within a short amount of time, the system can choose between sounding an alarm, firing rubber bullets or engaging the target with other weapons. The system can also be overridden by an operator, who can also communicate via built-in microphone and audio system...
..A human-in-the-loop (HITL) system, if applied to the Samsung SGR-A1, would mean the weapon must wait for commands from a human operator before acting upon its targets. This contrasts with a human over the loop (HOTL) system, which would allow the Samsung SGR-A1 to autonomously engage targets while allowing for human intervention to stop it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SGR-A1
Israel deployes such a robo-sniper system in Gaza in 2007. IDF deploys Sentry Tech on Gaza border, May 2007
The Israel Defense Force (IDF) has started to deploy Rafael Armament Development Authority Sentry Tech remotely operated pre-positioned sensor-to-shooter weapon stations along Israel' border with the Gaza Strip. The system enables camera operators located in rear-located command, control communications, computers and intelligence (C41) centers to engage border infiltrators using a remote-controlled weapon station (RCWS). The system is envisaged to reduce personnel deployment, shorten response time and augment surveillance/intelligence gathering capabilities along the border in synchronization with other security and intelligence sensors. Rafael is currently completing the development of another Sentry Tech variant, which will include long-range anti-tank guided missiles that will enable C41 centers to launch strikes on distant targets. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/291483334_IDF_deploys_Sentry_Tech_on_Gaza_border#:~:text=Abstract Wikipedia : Dozens of people have been shot with the Sentry Tech system. The first reported killing of an individual appears to have taken place during Operation Cast Lead in December 2008.[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentry_gun#Super_aEgis_II

Borussia Dortmund’s midfielder Felix Nmecha has drawn criticism on social media for expressing his condolences to the murdered activist’s family
The footballer then changed the caption, focusing on Kirk’s family. “Celebrating the murder of a husband and a father of two, a man who peacefully stood up for his beliefs and values, is really evil and shows how much we really need Jesus Christ,” Nmecha wrote in a follow-up post...
..The German SID sports news outlet reported on Friday that the club would review the posts and seek a dialogue with the player, adding that no punishment was planned for him.
However, German tabloid Bild noted the same day that Nmecha’s contract has an “Instagram clause” which states that he could face millions of dollars in penalties for social media posts violating the club’s values. https://swentr.site/news/624696-german-football-sympathy-charlie-kirk/
Those in the independent alternative media landscape close to Kirk memorialized their slain friend and colleague, and in doing so, many had pointed to a stark development in the progression of his political ideology. They shed light upon how Kirk, whose political activism has included devout support for the State of Israel and Jewish people, began to contemplate a new perspective on Israel's influence over the United States. According to a report from The Grayzone, that development of Kirk's ideology led to tremendous conflict with powerful Zionist figures shaping US politics. The Grayzone report illustrated the scale of that tension by revealing that pro-Israel billionaire Bill Ackman ambushed Kirk in what the publication describes as an "intervention" over the conservative activist's growing criticism of Israeli influence in Washington. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2025-09-16/bill-ackman-allegedly-ambushed-charlie-kirk-over-his-criticism-israel-weeks-his

Moon of Alabama, Ukraine - As 'Security Guarantees' Get Buried Other Stupid Ideas Emerge
Two weeks ago the Foreign Minister of Poland Radosław Sikorski visited Washington and was proud to be included in talks about 'security guarantees' for Ukraine. His ministry announced: Secretary of State Rubio declared that Poland will be involved in arrangements to reliably provide Ukraine with future security guarantees. He said that the United States aims to guarantee a lasting peace in Ukraine.
But now Sikorski is, rightfully one must say, doubting the usefulness of any 'security guarantees':
The security guarantees currently being discussed for Ukraine are unlikely to work in the event of a new invasion, since there are no hunters in the West to fight with Russia. This was stated by Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski.
"If we provide Ukraine with security guarantees, we say that we can start a war against Russia. And I don't think it's convincing that there is trust in it. Anyone who wants to fight with Russia can start it right now. But I don't see any takers," Sikorsky said.
There will never be any takers. Can we now finally bury that 'security guarantee' nonsense? https://www.moonofalabama.org/2025/09/ukraine-as-security-guarantees-get-buried-other-stupid-ideas-emerge.html#more
