A Defeat For Big Oil ???

Here is a report about recent moves against Big Oil:

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/29/world/canada/exxon-investors-clean-energy.html

From what I gathered during my career in air pollution permitting, there is no currently feasible technology which would allow Big Oil to become "net zero" by reducing emissions at their wells and refineries. This means two things in the near term:

1. They'll fake net zero by planting trees and other such nonsense, and/or

2. They'll cut production.

I see no cause for celebration, unless you really like the idea of riding a bicycle.

Reports like the one above give short shrift to two basic issues:

1. Are these environmental "activists" really tree-huggers, or are they in it for a big payday? There are some in both camps.

2. What will a world without fossil fuels really be like? I suggest it will be cold (or hot, depending on latitude), dark, and much more expensive than the one in which we now live.

There may be no stopping this runaway train, but as the lights slowly go out, ask yourself this - did you vote for a low energy economy, or did "your" representatives and senators (all of whom are financed in and out of office mainly by corporations) decide what is good for We the People?

I'll bet you thought this was a democracy, but it ain't ... and we're just in the way of their "great reset".

Bailing Out Bezos ???

Apparently the US Senate wants to give Jeff Bezos more money:

https://theintercept.com/2021/05/25/jeff-bezos-blue-origin-senate-bailout/

Jeez, what's wrong with these people? Let him pay for his own space program, which as far as I know has produced no public benefit.

Ferrying rich tourists into the lower reaches of space is not a priority for me. How about you?

Side Effects

Here is a tally of some COVID-19 pseudo-vaccine side effects:

https://www.globalresearch.ca/how-severe-are-the-side-effects-of-the-pseudo-anticovid-vaccines/5746511

Are the pseudo-vaccines more dangerous than the disease? That is the question which must be answered, and if the answer is YES then they must be stopped.

Here is a related discussion:

Defending Our Nation ???

VP Harris just addressed the graduating class at the US Naval Academy:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/vice-president-harris-speak-naval-050005493.html

She should have talked to me beforehand:

1. The navy cannot stop a pandemic, especially because the US government allows disease carriers to enter and roam our country freely. The navy will NEVER be allowed to deal with that, even if they could.

2. The navy cannot stop climate change, especially because most naval vessels and aircraft burn fossil fuels. Will they now be required to row their boats and use only sailplanes?

3. The navy cannot stop cyber crime, especially because the idiotic DARPA invention called the Internet is IMPOSSIBLE to secure. To think otherwise is delusional.

So, her speech was great on hoorah stuff, but appeared aimed at the wrong audience. I doubt midshipmen are that naive.

If she doesn't know that, why is she VP and maybe someday President?

Pitiful !!!

Retroactive Tax Hikes

According to this report, the Biden gang wants to enact retroactive tax hikes:

https://mishtalk.com/economics/bidens-budget-assumes-a-massive-retroactive-capital-gains-tax

But what about this?

US Constitution, Article I, Section 9

3. No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.

I'm sure the "lawyers" will have a ready excuse why such tax hikes would be OK, but as far as I'm concerned they would be based on "ex post facto" laws and/or regulations which stem from such laws and would therefore be unconstitutional.

Not that such things matter to "our" government.

And speaking of "bills of attainder", isn't that exactly what the Patriot (sic) Act and the Global War on Terror are all about?

Killing Indigenous Children

Here is a report about indigenous children who died at a boarding school in Canada:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/remains-215-children-found-former-211955716.html

It's fair to say that many of them were murdered.

In case you thought such a thing couldn't or didn't happen in the USA, here is a picture of the student graveyard at the Carlisle Industrial Indian School in Pennsylvania, where it is believed at least 186 victims are buried:

It's interesting to note these deaths took place while the children were under the care (sic) of "Christian" teachers and custodians. What kind of sick f_cks would do such a thing to helpless kids?

By the way, CIIS is now the site of the US Army War College, an appropriate place for it since the US Army has been one of our chief genocidal agents throughout our history.

It's a strange footnote that BLM and George Floyd are getting so much air time when thousands (if not millions) of indigenous victims of the USA lie forgotten in myriad sites across the land. All the "other lives matter" banter is BS. No one matters to the USA, except corporations and the people who run them.

Shooting Fish In A Barrel

This is what our high tech weaponry is used for - killing helpless civilians:

https://www.globalresearch.ca/f-35s-bombing-gaza/5745665

If you can look beyond your hypocrisy for a few moments, here are the faces of some of the children we just helped kill:

https://twitter.com/AnshelPfeffer/status/1397802087111659522?s=20

Doesn't it seem strange that we whine and gnash our teeth when children are killed by gunfire in the US, but apparently feel no significant remorse over the greater number of children we've been helping to kill in Gaza?

We say we want to take weapons of war (assault rifles) off our streets, but our "allies" brazenly use even more powerful weapons of war to put down what amount to riots in Gaza and Israel. To put things in perspective, the rockets fired by Hamas and Hezbollah are popguns in comparison to the weapons used by Israel to "defend" herself.

What's been happening is equivalent to shooting fish in a barrel ... and no more justifiable. America, you are sick, and your Israeli "friends" are the source of that sickness.

Update - 6/2/2021

Here is a good explanation of why Israel's wars with Hamas and Hezbollah are so lopsided:

https://www.jpost.com/arab-israeli-conflict/gaza-news/guardian-of-the-walls-the-first-ai-war-669371

This truly is David vs. Goliath, but Israel is no longer in the "David" role.

Climate Change In Germany

Germans are going nuts over wind turbines:

According to Annalena Baerbock, at least 2 percent of the entire German land area must be equipped with wind turbines in order to save the “global climate”. Meanwhile, citizens' initiatives nationwide are taking action against the harmful effects of wind turbines.

Source - https://deutsche-wirtschafts-nachrichten.de/511871/Baerbock-will-mindestens-2-Prozent-der-Flaeche-Deutschlands-mit-Windkraftanlagen-bestuecken [translation required]

Speaking of harmful effects, what about the resulting altered energy balance?

The very existence of "wind" stems from pressure and energy imbalances in the atmosphere, and wind is the means for the reduction of those imbalances. What happens when wind turbines put a brake on the flow, converting it into electricity which ultimately is released into the environment in different ways at different locations? What effect does THAT energy redistribution have on climate change?

Folks, there is no free lunch. Don't believe these new "too cheap to meter" promises unless they're backed up with proven, credible data. So far, I've seen no such thing, have you?

Keeping Track Of Nuclear Material

Here is a report about alleged faults in the IAEA safeguards program:

https://news.antiwar.com/2021/05/27/report-faults-iaea-safeguards-for-not-tracking-smaller-amounts-of-material/

Several years ago, the DOE scrapped its existing tracking program and replaced it with a new one. In spite of GAO recommendations, they failed to verify the new program tracked with the old, failed to ensure adequate security, and had no idea whether or not the contractor had put digital back doors into the system.

So, I find it hard to get worked up about this latest report when the US system apparently is just as screwed up. How much you want to bet that the Israelis benefited from the DOE's apparent sloppiness? They appear to roam our IT systems at will and with impunity.

The Intensity Of Copper

This graphic shows the projected role of copper in the production of "renewable" energy:

Source - https://www.visualcapitalist.com/copper-intensity-of-renewable-energy/

Several years ago, I participated in a failed attempt to start up an old copper smelter in El Paso, TX (the ASARCO plant). Our team discovered that not only were there very few operating smelters in the US, there also weren't any available experts who knew how to start up an old one.

My point is that much of the new copper for "renewable" energy probably will be mined, smelted, and milled outside the US. So, not only will Third World citizens be the ones who breathe, drink, and eat most of the pollution from new copper production, they'll most likely be paid in worthless US dollars backed by nothing at all ... while themselves not benefitting directly from the generation of this electricity.

Are you happy now? I doubt they will be.

Bombs Kill Civilians

A new study has confirmed that bombs dropped in populated areas mainly kill civilians:

https://www.commondreams.org/news/2021/05/25/study-shows-91-people-killed-or-injured-explosives-global-cities-were-civilians

What ... we needed a study to know this?

A more appropriate study would be one seeking the reason(s) we don't care about these deaths. I would guess it's due to the endless propaganda and lies we're told about Muslims, many of whom live in the areas being bombed.

The Hydrogen Economy ???

Reports such as this one suggest that hydrogen powered engines can help save us from climate change:

https://interestingengineering.com/tiny-22-lb-hydrogen-engine-may-replace-the-traditional-combustion-engine

But reports like THIS one should tell you that a massive conversion of the power grid will be necessary to achieve a real "hydrogen economy":

https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/hydrogen/production-of-hydrogen.php

Not only will this be difficult to achieve, it will also be quite expensive.

If we go down this road, please make certain the trillion$ are wisely spent and don't just turn billionaires into trillionaires.

And PLEASE, build the infrastructure here; don't buy it from China.

Is Biden A CCP Stooge ???

Here is a report about how President (sic) Biden shut down the COVID-19 investigation:

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/biden-shut-down-wuhan-lab-investigation-probing-covid-19-origins-report

Those in the scientific community who are not mere lap dogs for Big Pharma (and I am related to one of them) know damn well the WHO narrative about SARS-CoV-2 is total BS.

We need to do the following:

1. Perform a REAL investigation of the source of the virus;

2. Fire Fauci, investigate him and his stooges, and if warranted INDICT them; and

3. Determine whether the actions of Biden in this matter rise to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors, and if warranted IMPEACH him.

The continued fixation on Trump is pointless; it serves no purpose unless you're a Democrat who wants to stay in power. We ought to be focused on the validity of the election results and whether or not the clowns now running this country (and their accomplices) belong in jail.

What do YOU think?

What Did Bill Gates Do In India ???

Here is a report which claims to reveal things which Bill Gates and/or the foundation bearing his name funded in India:

https://greatgameindia.com/bill-gates-path-tribal-girls-india/

Should this be true, why in the world would we trust him to have such influence on OUR healthcare system?

Makes no sense to me.

By the way, Melinda Gates played some role in their foundation, didn't she? Why then do such reports always seem to portray him as the bad guy and her as a co-opted saint?

America The Hypocrite

Here is yet another example of US criticism of someone doing exactly the same evil things we have done:

https://greenwald.substack.com/p/as-anger-toward-belarus-mounts-recall

How can we possibly still think we're a force for good in the world?

Population Bomb

According to this report, world population is about to drop precipitously:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/long-slide-looms-world-population-114958574.html

Note the phenomenon is portrayed as a big surprise. But following decades of poisoning our food, destroying our cultural norms, and now injecting us with experimental "vaccine" concoctions, why should ANYONE be surprised?

Don't be fooled - this appears to be part of a well-executed plan. It may not fit the definition of "mass murder", but what else could it be?

Pandemic Manipulation

This is worth saying again and again - the CDC is manipulating the pandemic statistics. You can read about it here:

https://off-guardian.org/2021/05/18/how-the-cdc-is-manipulating-data-to-prop-up-vaccine-effectiveness/

Yes, there's a SARS-CoV-2 (whatever that may be), but its initial impact was WAY overstated.

And sadly, widespread administration of the vaccines will now make things worse, potentially MUCH worse.

Do Big Med and Big Pharma really want us to be healthy ... or just well medicated?

Do We Have A Choice, Or Not ???

This essay by Robert Charles suggests we have no choice but to defend Israel, to the death if necessary:

https://www.realcleardefense.com/articles/2021/05/18/defend_israel__or_prepare_for_wider_conflict_777661.html

He makes many good points, but there is one thing he never really addresses - Israeli culpability for what has been, is, and soon will be going on in the Middle East. This is rather strange, since no one would be on the current trajectory if we had not helped create Israel, given them carte blanche and a blank check to do whatever they want, and granted them impunity for acts much of the world considers to be war crimes.

Should we double down on these bad decisions, or just cut them off? What do you think?

And We the People really should be the ones who decide, because in the long run we always wind up paying the bill for this on-going catastrophe:

https://original.antiwar.com/thomas-knapp/2021/05/21/when-israels-regime-buys-us-weapons-it-buys-them-with-your-money/

... and support for them and their agenda has changed us from one of the world's most respected countries into one of the most hated.

Where The Money Goes

Thanks to the globalization of supply chains, much of our "stimulus" money went to China:

http://charleshughsmith.blogspot.com/2021/05/us-stimulus-has-created-boom-in-china.html

And that's also where much of our "infrastructure" money will go.

I'm sure this had nothing to do with Joe and Hunter B's cozy relationships with Chinese big shots, did it?

Key Events By Generation

This graphic shows how key events influenced several generations of Americans:

Source - https://www.visualcapitalist.com/timeline-of-us-events-that-defined-generations/

I am a baby boomer, and from my perspective many of the events listed for my generation involved government lies and/or distortions. These things didn't just "happen" - they were induced and/or allowed to happen. When given a choice, TPTB chose the option which best suited their needs and not the needs or desires of We the People.

COVID-19 and The Great Reset may soon top these lists, and once again it will be the needs of TPTB which are met.

Stop Sending Weapons

Italian port workers have refused to load weapons which could be used against Palestinian civilians:

https://english.alaraby.co.uk/news/pro-palestine-italian-port-workers-refuse-arms-shipment-israel

It should be easy to end such conflicts - stop sending them weapons. If they still don't comply, then apply BDS ... like we do to everyone else in the world.

Or if you prefer, do nothing. Eventually all the Palestinians will be dead, and you can pretend it was all G-d's will.

By the way, if you are one of those who think the Israelis have the right to do what they are doing, think again. You've got it backward - it's the Palestinians who have the right to resist:

Under international law, the Palestinians have a lawful right to resist Israel’s occupation of their lands, including through armed struggle. In 1982, the UN General Assembly "reaffirmed the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial and foreign domination and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle."

https://www.newsmax.com/murdock/systemic-racism-racism-visas/2021/05/14/id/1021441/

A Hard Look At Artificial Intelligence

Do you remember the scene in the movie Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines when Skynet was brought online, became self-aware, and took over? It spread into all devices linked to the Internet and became impossible to shut off:

https://youtu.be/_Wlsd9mljiU

Well, here is a video which explains how that very thing is in the process of happening (albeit in a less dramatic fashion):

https://youtu.be/JKGJai7LEiA

There is no way to predict exactly the result (that's why they call it "the singularity"), other than to say it definitely won't be good for us foolish humans.

Same question as my previous post (Street Justice ???) - why would they do such a thing?

Clowns To The Left Of Me

 ... jokers to the right.

Here is a brief explanation of Cheney family evils:

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/stockman-good-riddance-liz-cheney

And here is a look at the evils of Joe:

But the defining crisis of the Biden presidency may be the crisis on America’s southern border, where another 170,000 illegal immigrants entered the country in April after an equally high number in March.

That is an annual rate of 2 million people walking into our country uninvited, the advance guard of a Third World invasion that will change the character and composition of the United States.

The America we grew up in is disappearing — without our consent.

Source - https://buchanan.org/blog/are-the-halcyon-days-over-for-joe-biden-149644

I agree with both essays, but the most important issue is how to deal with the ongoing dismantling of the USA by Biden and his wrecking crew. Some may agree with his agenda, but I doubt it's a majority of Americans. And I seriously doubt we're going to be happy with the outcome.

Street Justice ???

Is this where we're headed?

https://summit.news/2021/05/12/antifa-protester-i-cant-wait-until-black-people-lynch-white-people/

Note well - TPTB, most of whom are white, are tolerating or promoting such vile sentiments while slowly but surely eroding our ability to defend ourselves.

Why would they do such a thing? I doubt it has anything at all to do with "social justice".

The Generals Speak Out, Sort Of

Several retired US flag officers have issued a letter questioning the results of the 2020 election and Biden's fitness for office:

https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/553088-124-retired-generals-and-admirals-question-bidens-mental-health

Alarm bells should be ringing throughout the land when military officers, a SCOTUS justice, numerous election observers, and other credible sources (e.g., the 2020 Census) suggest that important aspects of the election were fraudulent. Instead TPTB are working mightily in the shadows to make certain such suspected fraud is never confirmed.

We no longer have a constitutional republic OR a democracy. Someone else is running this country, and apparently we have no useful tools to either discover who is in charge or to influence their decisions.

Here is a very revealing essay which compares today's USA to Hitler's Nazi Germany:

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/17351/america-playing-with-fire

If we cannot recognize the parallels and deal with them, then our nation is finished. We're just a dying corpse whose remaining lifeblood will be sucked out by TPTB on our way to the grave.

It was a nice "experiment", but it failed. And why? Apparently We the People just didn't have the right stuff, and our ruling class only cared about enriching themselves.

A Dolorous Imbalance

Here is a good explanation of the differences between the US and China:

https://www.unz.com/freed/a-dolorous-imbalance/

Does it seem to you like we're playing a winning hand?

End Times, Israeli Style

There are reasons to believe the Israelis intend to destroy the al-Aqsa mosque and build the Third Temple in its place:

https://www.mintpressnews.com/israels-pogroms-in-jerusalem-could-spark-destruction-of-al-aqsa/277064/

That may not matter to you, but from my perspective it would be one potential path to the Biblical End Times.

Whatever the case, be prepared. And do NOT take the mark.

Here is additional discussion:

Gen-Zers Have A Problem

Or perhaps this is OUR problem and not theirs?

Of people ages 17 to 24, almost 71%, or 24 million out of 34 million, are ineligible to join the military because of obesity, lack of high school diploma, or a criminal record, according to Pentagon data. That means the remaining age cohort is the prime attraction for all recruiting from not just the military, but also colleges and employers.

Source - https://about.bgov.com/news/army-anime-courts-teens-from-a-small-pool-of-eligible-gen-zers/

This may be one of the prime reasons employers are switching to robots and AI to run their business and deploy weapons on our battlefields.

Hint: If you become a useless eater, you've got no one to blame except yourself.

Civil War ???

Some believe that civil war may break out in the US and in France. You can read about it here:

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/how-woke-may-be-leading-us-civil-war

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/le-pen-warns-macron-danger-civil-war-looms-if-he-doesnt-handle-islamist-problem

I predict the outcome in France will be similar to what just happened in the US:

1. Trump's call for "peaceful demonstrations" was distorted by TPTB into a call for insurrection; and

2. The French military and Marine Le Pen will be accused of the same thing, or worse.

Bottom line - There probably will not be a civil war or revolution in either country. And if anyone does rise up, they will be swiftly crushed.

Update - 5/13/2021

US flag officers have just released a letter of their own:

https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/553088-124-retired-generals-and-admirals-question-bidens-mental-health

Interestingly, it appears to have been prompted more by military concerns than constitutional issues. Listen to General of the Army Douglas MacArthur's Thayer Award Acceptance Address for one of the reasons why:

https://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/douglasmacarthurthayeraward.html

Sadly, many of their peers would prefer to sell out our republic on CNN instead of standing with We the People.

Anyway, that's my two cents.

The High Price Of College

Here is a tale which typifies what is wrong with US higher education:

Depraved Indifference ???

Here are two videos which discuss the abject failure of the medical profession to provide meaningful early treatment options for COVID-19:

https://youtu.be/QAHi3lX3oGM

https://www.bitchute.com/video/muHlkj4Emoep/

Note this is a global problem, not merely a US one.

One has to conclude that some global "authority" has decided for the rest of us that the ONLY permissible treatments are the mRNA vaccines OR late stage ventilation in a hospital (typically leading to the patient's death). In other words, not really a treatment at all.

If this is not an instance of depraved indifference, then I don't know what that term means.

Yes, It Was Rigged

Data from the 2020 Census suggests the election was rigged:

But, of course, questioning the results would be racist, right?

Is Assembly Now A Crime ???

Or is worship now a crime?

Read this, watch the video, and decide for yourself:

https://therightscoop.com/wow-scary-video-shows-armed-swat-taking-down-christian-pastor-headed-home-from-church-for-inciting-worship/

I think it's most instructive they sent an armed team to "take down" an unarmed pastor. Isn't this how the Romans did it?

I guess we should at least be happy they didn't kneel on his neck until he was dead.

Are We Making The Pandemic Worse ???

Here is a video which discusses the impact of human intervention on the course of the COVID-19 pandemic:

https://youtu.be/2dX_Cr7lh-g

You should get the gist by halfway through.

Best case - Big Med and Big Pharma are stupid, and don't realize what's going on.

Worst case - Their demands that everyone take these experimental vaccines is based on a desire to sterilize a wide swath of humanity.

Which do you think is more likely?

Inflation ??? Yes !!!

In spite of government claims to the contrary, the cost of just about everything is going up. Here are some examples:

1. Lumber


2. Food

The Cost Of Electricity

Joe Biden's wrecking crew wants us to stop using fossil fuels. I'm sure they mean well.

But are their claims about the cost of "green" energy accurate? Take a look at these reports and decide for yourself:

https://oilprice.com/Alternative-Energy/Renewable-Energy/Why-Californians-Have-Sky-High-Electricity-Bills.html

https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2021/05/06/joe_bidens_offshore_wind_energy_mirage_775959.html

In a former life I worked for the TX environmental agency, and I reviewed multiple permit applications for "green" energy projects. Most of them never got built because they were not competitive (i.e., they cost more than existing energy sources).

So YES, I believe "green" energy will cost more than what we're paying now.

And the weirdest part is that much of the new infrastructure may be built in China or Europe (or by Chinese or EU companies), so they may get the bulk of the related jobs instead of US workers.

That's the global economy for ya. Does Joe Biden know this? Does he care?

By the way, China pollutes more than the US and all developed countries combined:

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/china-pollutes-more-us-and-all-developed-countries-combined-report

Does Joe's plan take this into account? Apparently not.

I keep hearing that Bitcoin mining uses a lot of electricity:

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

People are starting to notice the US is coming apart. Here is what some Germans see:

Millions of Americans are moving from the hard lockdown democratic states to Republican states where there are largely no lockdowns. In the USA, an ideological secession is currently taking place that is taking on territorial contours. A dangerous development.

This is not just about lockdowns. It's about dangerous vaccines, the failure to address election fraud, and now possible manipulation of the 2020 census to change representation in the House:

These guys and dolls are sneaky, and I would not trust them as far as I could throw them (which ain't very far). Apparently neither do many of my fellow Americans.

Will the US actually break up? If things continue the way they seem to be going, I would not be surprised.

COVID Roundup - 5/7/2021

Salk Institute warns about "grave risk to public health" posed by vaccines:

Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists revisits the origin debate:

Jon Rappoport questions whether the vaccines are doing more than just producing the spike protein:

Raúl Ilargi Meijer discusses the human experimentation aspect of the "vaccine rollout":

And a Holocaust survivor compares the vaccine rollout to the Nazi eugenics program. What's most troubling to her is "the media’s alignment with government practice", which is something right out of the Nazi playbook:

What we're doing is madness. But if you want to believe celebrities and influencers, go right ahead and get your jab. But please stay away from me.

NO MORE NUKES !!!

As Biden and his wrecking crew shut down our electric grid, you may see articles like this one which encourages subsidizing nuclear power for our future electric needs:

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/nuclear-verge-esg-inclusion-white-house-subsidize-existing-nuclear-plants

Please, p-l-e-a-s-e, PLEASE DON'T DO THIS.

I have a number of reasons for making this plea, which are based on 25+ years of experience in the nuclear industry.

Regardless of how "safe" they may appear on paper, all such plants are ticking time bombs ... mostly because they are run by idiots. I have seen licensed operators knowing violate safety limits, fail to recognize safety system test failures, fail to correctly follow both simple and complex procedures, and suffer from crucial misunderstandings of their plant's design and construction details. Such errors CANNOT be corrected by human operators or computers programmed by humans. We've got over 75 years worth of experience which proves that.

In addition, the US has refused to address the nuclear waste issue, and it would be foolhardy to continue to produce such waste until we do so. Here is one result of that refusal, and there are many, many more:

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/serious-matter-underground-nuclear-waste-tank-leaks-washington-state

On top of that, these plants are money pits ... mostly because no one in the US is capable of efficiently running huge construction and operating projects any more. A good example of this is the debacle resulting from the planned expansion of Plant Vogtle from 2 units to 4. You can find some of the details here:

https://cleanenergy.org/blog/vogtle-units-3-4-vcm-23-six-more-months-700-million-more-dollars/

In addition, the mismanagement of the Vogtle expansion cause major financial difficulties for both Westinghouse and Toshiba, the former declaring bankruptcy and the latter having to sell off a major portion of assets to cover its losses:

https://www.ajc.com/news/toshiba-pays-georgia-power-billion-for-plant-vogtle/k5l41QLRyL19RUoZlrcCLK/

So, please don't fall for any BS promoting nuclear power. It's potentially dangerous (think Chernobyl and Fukushima), prohibitively expensive, and chronically mismanaged; and it produces radioactive wastes with exceptionally long half-lives which NO structures are capable of safely storing for more than a few thousand years at best (most of which have failed in less than one hundred years). It's one of the WORST things humanity has ever done.

Sheesh !!!

Daily Digest - 5/5/2021

The US birth rate is dropping. Perhaps that is why they're opening our borders:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/may/05/us-birth-rate-sees-biggest-fall-for-nearly-50-years

Here is an excellent essay by Chris Hedges which discusses our cult of sadism:

https://www.mintpressnews.com/chris-hedges-dont-be-fooled-joe-biden-american-exceptionalism/276951/

Joe Biden is just the tip of the iceberg.

Inflation is here, and perhaps we'll see a touch of hyperinflation:

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/bofa-transitory-hyper-inflation-ahead

We cannot spend our way out of debt, and if Biden's trillion$ mostly make rich people richer we're in for a giant shock. Search my blog using the word "hyperinflation" to learn more.

And finally here is the latest COVID-19 horror story:

https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=242268

How many more of these will we have to read before we realize the vaccines are worse than the disease?

Daily Digest - 5/4/2021

Are SARS-CoV-2 vaccines "safe" and "effective"?

Here is a renowned expert on women's reproductive health who claims the vaccines are NOT safe. She even calls them a "bioweapon":

https://www.thelibertybeacon.com/what-all-women-and-girls-need-to-know-video/

And here is a trick they are pulling to "prove" the vaccines are effective - using a low PCR test cycle threshold to make the vaccines appear effective, while using a high cycle threshold to maximize the number of "cases" among the unvaccinated:

https://tapnewswire.com/2021/05/2021-spring-of-stan1sm-in-full-bloom/

Here is today's taxation outrage - Amazon paid ZERO corporate tax on 44 billion euro profit in the EU:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/may/04/amazon-sales-income-europe-corporation-tax-luxembourg

And here is today's border outrage - using budget tricks to "legalize" immigrants:

https://www.newsmax.com/us/chuck-schumer-budget-reconciliation-amnesty-undocumented/2021/05/03/id/1020001/

Both the US Congress and European legislatures are ultimately responsible for their budget shortfalls and the global immigration catastrophe. Blaming the former on each other and the latter on climate change constitutes high level bullshit. They don't WANT to solve either issue in a manner acceptable to We the People because their corporate puppet masters like things the way they are.

And by that I mean things will continue to change until TPTB are happy with the results.

Daily Digest - 5/3/2021

Here are today's questions:

Why is everyone afraid of auditing the results of the 2020 election?

Why has NO court deigned to REALLY examine the evidence of electoral fraud?

If, as is claimed, the election is over and Biden won, then what's the big deal? Certainly any audits would confirm such claims, right?

Here is today's fervent hope, from FreeSpeechFan:

It is comforting that the Fourth turning is part of a natural cycle but also very disturbing that it is a period of crisis. As we know from previous cycles, many people suffer and die during a fourth turning. However, I think we all know that a crisis is upon us as the corruption, collusion, scheming, propaganda, and self interest reaches its peak. The worst of the baby boomers, Biden, Kerry, Pelosi, Bill Gates, are at their worst. We don’t yet know what will take their place, but their chaos and selfishness will be swept aside as order, rules, truth, and structure takes its place. The movement will be from Yin to Yang, Chaos to Order, Freedom to Self Control, Self Interest to the Collective, Corruption to Honor, Secular to Faith. There will be a “New World Order” but not the one chosen for us by the Bush Cabal or the CCP Cabal or the Globalist Cabal. They are the cause of the crisis but not the solution. Gen X will help smooth the path of the crisis, but only the millennials hold the answer to the question of what will the New World Order look like. I hope they choose well, as it does not have to be communisms, fascism, or socialism – it won’t be! These are tired old doctrines that don’t work, they are being used as facades for the corrupt to hide their true motives behind. They will be swept away, too!

Here is today's blatant example of how the US government essentially ignores our constitution (read at your leisure):

https://jimbovard.com/blog/2021/04/30/fisa-and-the-still-too-secret-police/

And here is today's blatant example of how TPTB ignore our fundamental human rights:

The vaccination rollout is becoming tiresome, because it breaks too many laws to keep track of. There’s the Nuremberg code, and the Helsinki Declaration, and Unesco’s Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights. They all say the same thing: people can not be coerced, let alone mandated, into being part of a medical experiment. It’s highly illegal. Yet that is what’s happening with the so-called vaccines. And no, it’s not about the level of risk involved, it’s simply illegal. These codes and declarations were written to counter the acts of totalitarian regimes, remember that.

People can not be threatened with restrictions of any kind involving travel, or work, or anything else, if they don’t comply. They must be informed fully about the dangers inherent in the experiment, and only then perhaps agree to participate in the experiment. It’s called informed consent. Which of course precludes the participation of children in such an experiment, because they can’t be expected to fully understand the information offered, even if it is offered. But we are still talking about vaccinating children. It’s astonishing.

"The Nuremberg Code requires an individual’s informed consent before receiving experimental medical interventions. And that principle is in the 1964 Helsinki Declaration, which has been codified at Federal and State level in the USA [and many other countries]."

Hillary Clinton and her ilk claim that the basket of deplorables are living in another world, and they're right. We're trying to live in the world described in the US Constitution; while they're living in a fantasy world designed to destroy that sacred document.
