How DOBBS Happened: Taibbi Explains

These two paragraphs explain not only why I subscribe to the left leaning Taibbi's substack, but also how the Dobbs decision that negated Roe v. Wade happened:

"Four years later, I (Taibbi) voted neither. The Democrats between 2016 and 2020 not only lost my vote, but reveled in the idea that they didn’t need or want it, denouncing critics in all directions as traitors, white supremacists, and terrorists, no different from the “deplorables” who voted for Donald Trump. In that time they perfected an attitude of imperious condescension and entitlement so grating that at least half of America wouldn’t piss on someone like Adam Schiff if he were on fire. Then Friday happened and it was the same song everywhere: “See! We were right all along! You do owe us! And if you ever criticized us, this was your fault! ”

No, it wasn’t. Friday was the result of decades spent building a political project so incoherent, unsellable, and untrustworthy to ordinary people that in 2016 they chose Donald Trump over the person Barack Obama called the most qualified candidate in history. The justices who cast the critical votes Friday were picked by a man denounced by all of institutional America prior to election. All those voices were ignored. That total collapse in trust, not Jill Stein’s candidacy or Putin’s Facebook ads, led to Dobbs v. Jackson. Until Democrats reckon with that problem, which incidentally spread to every category of voter except white men in 2020 and looks poised to spread even more in the midterms, there will be more moments like this."

Taibbi went on Ben Shapiro's show (of all places), and the interview went well, and I found it interesting.

It's worth listening to a pairing that I thought I'd never see:

Sanction RUSSIA: Russia STRENGTHENS

Here in Clown World, aka the section of the world that is ruled over by the Neo Liberal Rules Based World Order, we put Ukrainian flags on our bios, we celebrate 'diversity', we have Pride Month, we support 'green' energy, and we worship St. George F.  We also think rhetoric and feelings rule the day.

In other parts of the world, parts that are based on real things and consequences, they understand that rhetoric and feelings are meaningless if you flip the switch and the lights don't go on, or you turn on the heat and there's no power, or your grid has rolling blackouts.

Energy is life, and you need energy to survive. 

Putin! did something that the NWO didn't like.  There were many reasons for it.  The pets in the Western Corporate Media dialed up the rhetoric, put flags in the bios, told us all sorts of lying nonsense ('In 10 days Putin runs out of weapons' .. that was 2 months ago), and yet the Russian economy is fine, and the ruble is stronger than before.  Why?

People need energy, and they really need oil and gas and coal.  They are buying it from Russia, because they have it:

"Despite looming sanctions and import bans, Russia exported $97.7 billion worth of fossil fuels in the first 100 days since its invasion of Ukraine, at an average of $977 million per day."

Look at all the EU and NATO countries on the list.  They seem to think that you can wish for something to happen, and that's all it takes.  

The countries NOT part of the Neo Liberal Order are going to buy fossil fuels from whomever has it, and Russia is one of the top suppliers in the world.

You have China, India, and S. Korea on that list above.  Not only have they NOT condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine, they will continue to buy from Russia. Not on the list (yet) are Indonesia and Brazil.  What are the combined populations of all of those countries: 4 billion?  Brazil isn't part of the Neo-Liberal clown world.  Bolsonaro openly mocks the leadership of Ukraine.  Those 4 countries probably represent at least 2/3 of the world's population.

In general, countries that have energy have seen their currencies strengthen, while those who import it have seen their currencies weaken.  The ruble, dollar and loonie have done well.  The euro, Turkish Lira, and the yen have collapsed.

Now that we're in WWIII, you have to, more than ever, stop listening to Corporate Media, and find reliable sources that will explain things in real world terms.  The 'western' corporate media has some of the worst despair merchants, always lying and projecting what they want, and not what is.  As we've learned in the past, Social Justice Warriors always lie, and they always project.

Don't give them your time.

MOAR COAL

Remember the "climate change is an existential threat!" talking point in 2018-2019?  It was temporarily removed during the Novel Coronavirus Era - shoved to the side and completely ignored until that Narrative ran out of steam.

They brought it back slowly, around a year ago.  Then Putin happened.

You know how concerned the EU, the WEF, the UN, and the top brass in the USA are about the climate and carbon emissions?  They've no concern whatsoever.  It has only and always been a way to control you by either making you poorer, or forcing certain laws on you (in the interest of Climate Change of course).

How seriously would you take noted scientist John Kerry flying in on a private jet, lecturing you about Global Warming and carbon emissions, and explaining how you need to stop using fossil fuels?

Exactly.

This latest development lets you know that they are completely full of it:

"... in an effort to save natural gas."

I'll translate: "our people will flip the switch and expect the lights to go on, and to be able to charge their iPhones and go on Social Media.  They will riot and come after us like the people in Sri Lanka if there is no electricity."

The article does not contain the words 'climate change'.  I did ctrl-F just to check.

When it gets cold in the winter, Germany needs natural gas to heat its homes.  55% of natural gas, until a few months ago, was supplied by Russia.  Technically, they are saving natural gas by using coal, but what about the "existential threat?!!" 

Here's the info on the coal fired power station pictured above:

"Neurath Power Station is a lignite-fired power station at Neurath in Grevenbroich, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is located to the south of Grevenbroich, and it borders the municipalities of Rommerskirchen and Bedburg. The power station consists of seven units and it is owned by RWE. It was named as the second biggest single polluter for carbon dioxide emissions in the European Union in 2019 by the EU's Transport and Environment Group."

Germany could reduce its carbon emissions for baseload power to near zero if it wanted.  They have the nuclear power, but are turning it off.  Nuclear is the answer if you're concerned about "climate change", as it emits NO carbon.  You need to realize it's all a game to them - a game for acquisition of your capital and to control you.  There is no noble concern for your health and well being, nor for that of the earth either.

Irina Slav explains how these Noble Priorities vanish, as they were clownish, cloddish canards in the first place:

"Funnily enough, politicians on both sides of the Atlantic continue to talk about the energy transition although the talk increasingly sounds like a scratched record. Look at this press briefing with Energy Secretary Granholm, for example.

All the talk about clean energy being the only way forward certainly seem to be evidence that Granholm has an excellent rote memory but not much else. I especially liked her praise for refiners who have turned their refineries into biofuel production facilities… a day before she met with refiners to ask them to boost oil refining capacity.

Meanwhile, as I mentioned in an earlier post, the EC’s President is calling on people to reduce their thermostats by 2 degrees, apparently forgetting we are in summer now, not in winter, and if we’re talking about energy savings, we should be turning thermostats up. Again, it smacks of an automatic repetition of an idea that has pretty much lost its meaning."

It never had any meaning in the first place.  

At least the German Government has an answer to the whole problem.  They will rhetoric harder.  I'm sure it will make a difference:

"The German government recently called on citizens to cut back their energy use in light of the strained supply situation.

“It’s obviously Putin’s strategy to make us insecure, to drive up prices and divide us,” Mr. Habeck said. “We will not allow that to happen. We will defend ourselves resolutely, precisely and thoughtfully.”"

All the while burning coal, polluting the air, turning off nuclear plants, and ignoring the Inconvenient Truth that coal is the worst offender if you are buying into the 'climate change' Narrative.

BUG19 Data HIDING

It looks like we are at the 'data hiding' phase of things during this Novel Coronavirus Era.

" The upgrade required all 2022 death records to be reprocessed into the system.  As routine NVSS surveillance reporting resumes, users may temporarily observe lower death counts for prior weeks in 2022 as the backlog is reprocessed and reloaded into the system."

There is a 'system-wide upgrade' going on, so the 2022 data will be delayed for now.  It's a strange bit of timing.

VP had this inconvenient truth on the site the other day.  I wonder if there is any connection or coincidence with the CDC getting a software upgrade, and what we see below in Germany?

They're seeing the same thing in Switzerland. Swiss Policy Research is all over it:

It gets worse:

"Furthermore, there have been widespread and officially acknowledged reports of post-vaccination menstrual disorders (over 30,000 reports in Britain alone); official reports of vaccine adverse events including death in breastfeeding babies (over 60 reported cases in Germany alone); a still unexplained, transient increase in neonatal deaths in countries like Scotland; and reports by Austrian midwives of an increase in complications during pregnancy and delivery after covid vaccination. Meanwhile, Pfizer has never even finished its vaccine trial in pregnant women.

Theoretically, covid vaccines might impact conception and pregnancy in direct ways (e.g. via ovaries or sperm cells) or in indirect ways (e.g. via immunological, hormonal or vascular factors, including micro blood clots). An official Japanese biodistribution study showed that non-trivial amounts of Pfizer mRNA vaccine lipid nanoparticles do indeed end up in the ovaries, but there is currently no evidence that this impacts ovarian follicular function in a negative way."

Why any clear thinking individual would cast their lot with a media and a CDC that has lied to you for ages is beyond me.  This information should be front and center.  The fact that you have to get it from a broken down English teacher working in the Bad Neighborhood is testament to how far our institutions have fallen.

An Inconvenient DEATH

Or maybe it's convenient:

There are a few key quotes from this article that should make you think twice.

"In a private meeting Hutchinson previously said Meadows was warned in advance that there could be trouble on January 6.

Her video deposition was used to support the committee's argument that several of the Republicans later sought presidential pardons.

'We had intel reports saying that there could potentially be violence on the 6th,' Hutchinson told the panel, in a portion of a transcript shared in court documents in April.

'And Mr Meadows said: 'All right. Let's talk about it.'"

In advance? If that's the case, why wasn't there a wall, or a wall of security around the building?  Why is there video of people being let in by the authorities?  I thought that it was DJT's words that spurred people to go to the capitol - that it was not planned.

Here's the money quote from the story.  So inconvenient that Mr. Stenger won't be able to speak further on this:

"Stenger previously served in the United States Marine Corps, and spent 35 years in the Secret Service.

He was the chief law enforcement officer and head of protocol for the chamber since April 2018.

In February 2021, Stenger told the Senate Homeland Security Committee that the role of 'professional agitators' needed to be investigated.

He said: 'There is an opportunity to learn lessons from the events of January 6.

'Investigations should be considered as to funding and travel of what appears to be professional agitators."

The 'funding and travel of professional agitators'.

That's pretty interesting.  Seems like there is a group of people who want this absurd and clownish 'insurrection' narrative to continue.  Looks like they might get their way as Mr. Stenger won't be around to purposefully or accidentally say anything to sidetrack The Narrative.  He suddenly died the day before the hearings.

It will be interesting to see what Cassidy Hutchinson has to say.  I hope they don't go the Tessie Hutchinson route.....

Progressives are KILLING IT!

You know how we're all supposed to stop Global Warming by not using fossil fuels?  It turns out that fertilizer is processed using chemicals and natural gas ... lots of them.

The Warmists (the "international community" you read about in all the articles on this topic) somehow got the entire country of Sri Lanka to use regular old style organic fertilizer.  The problem is, it doesn't work at scale, and it led to a food shortage.  This was BEFORE the supply chain issues of today.

The results are catastrophic:

Sri Lanka wanted to virtue signal to the 'international stage' by getting rid of chemical and petrochemical fertilizer.  Now the country is starving, but at least the liberal arts majors posing as climatologists in the WEF and the EU can walk around with smug smiles on their faces knowing that they ... made a difference?

But I guess children starving is ok, as long as you speak the magic spell wordsmithery: "Climate Change".

Apparently, that isn't enough:

Let's look at the beginning of the article again, and process what it says:

"The European Union is divided on how to help poorer nations fight a growing food crisis and address shortages of fertilisers caused by the war in Ukraine, with some fearing a plan to invest in plants in Africa would clash with EU green goals."

"... would clash with EU green goals."

Remember Sri Lanka?  That story is months old.  But the bureaucrats in the EU think it might be a good idea to do the SAME THING in other countries because, well, climate change.

Got that?

Let's have people, mostly the young, old, and infirm, starve to death so that the magic spell Climate Change Goals can be 'achieved'.  If you haven't figured out that these people, who fly around in private jets, eat meat, drive in blacked out SUV's aren't looking out for you or the 'climate', you're stupider than I thought.

I'll end with this.  You know how we're all supposed to be driving electric cars, flying electric planes, eating bugs, and biking to work every day?  Where do you think the extra metals and minerals will come from?  Where does copper for the wiring, batteries, and cables come from?  The cobalt in the batteries?  Lithium?  Any guesses?  If we are to meet the "climate goals" of our overlords, 'netzero by ____' then look at what is necessary in the mining world:

Yes, that means that there will need to be 42 times MORE lithium mined in 2040 than right now, to eliminate fossil fuels from the equation.  The "netzero" fantasy is just that: a fantasy.

That should make you extra upset, as the people you seem to still listen to are willing to starve people in the developing world to death for an unattainable goal.  Guess what those gigantic mining trucks and other equipment use? Diesel.  And where will you get your mine permitted?  No country in the West will go for that - remember Global Warming? There will be none of that. 

You could try South America.

Bolivia has a ton of the resources necessary. Good luck becoming profitable - right up until the socialists in charge take you operation over.  And you'll be using indigenous labor as well.  You good with that?  

Don't even get me started on wind power.  It is a bad joke of an energy source, and the destruction of the environment has already started because of these abominations that aren't even carbon neutral.  How do you think the concrete base and steel towers are made? Where does the copper come from for the wires to connect to the grid?  Haven't we covered this already?:

Like I said, it's all good.  All you have to say, like Harry Potter with his wand, is the magic spell word: ClimateChange! ... and everything stated here is fine.  It's all good.  The Progressive / Liberal / Democratic Party apparatchiks are making a KILLING.  

Eventually, when the costs get so high, people will stop listening to these repellent sickos.  

But not yet.  Apparently more pain is required.

One Way to Create a REAL Conservative

Everybody knows that for years you had the Washington Generals, aka the CONservative Inc movement steering the 'conservative' ship.

They were the Rush Limbaugh listening, George Will reading, Weekly Standard subscribing, pound that Budweiser after work, flag waving losers who got dunked on all day and night by the real power, the Liberal Progressive Beast.

Things have changed.

The Narrative has gotten so strange, that even after the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the people who are angry about it don't see how they are at fault: they did this.  Even as we speak, people are told they are transphobic neanderthals if they oppose sex change surgery for 10 yr. olds.  The defenders of Roe are the ones saying that violence is necessary.  They are the ones talking about how men should compete in women's sports.  Give hormone blockers to a 5 yr old?  Ask Owen Benjamin how criticizing that idea turned out.

The so-called 'left' is creating conservatives of the real type quite quickly.  Most people understand that sometimes, in a constitutional republic, decisions go the way you don't like.  But because these people have NEVER LOST, they don't know how to react to someone like Trump, or a decision like this:

See what I mean?

10th Grade Black Girl DEAD: No Protest, No BLM, No GRIFT

There is some synchronicity at work here, as I came across this yesterday:

Mr. Kriegman was a data analyst in Corporate Media, at Reuters, and he did what many well meaning people and statisticians have done: he analyzed the data regarding the BLM Narrative.  Unsurprisingly, he found out that it is all false, there is no rash of police killing black people, and the whole BLM movement is a Trojan horse for many things, none of which is helpful to the black community, and none of which quell violence of any kind within the black neighborhood.

I could have told him that in a 2 minute phone call.

Kriegman got fired for his troubles, and his story has a few key elements to it.  I recommend reading the whole thing, as it will let you know what you are up against when it comes to the current species of smug upper class white progressive lawn sign liberal.

Mr. Kriegman was careful with his analysis, doing all the appropriate things in his quest for the truth.  The truth is that there is no issue at all when it comes to policing, and, not only that, the Narrative has led to an inordinate amount of black people getting killed.

"In 2020, 18 unarmed black Americans were killed by police, according to the Washington Post database."

Re-read that sentence.

As I've explained to you before, it is the reaction to things that you must pay attention to.  Saul Alinsky taught me that in my leftist day, and he was right.

Kriegman posted his findings in his workplace message board. Notice my highlighting, because this is the key part of the story:

Notice the wealthy white lawn sign liberal in the wild.  Kriegman knows that he's in dangerous territory, but he naively thought that facts would win the day, and people would see that the shadows in the cave are only that - shadows and nothing else.  He was wrong.

He also committed a final sin:

"To drive home my point, I included this striking statistic: On an average year, 18 unarmed black people and 26 unarmed white people are shot by police. By contrast, roughly 10,000 black people are murdered annually by criminals in their own neighborhoods."

He's right about everything of course.  What you need to realize is that the violence levels have spiked in the black neighborhood.  For the first time in 25 years, shots were fired outside my room window.  This happened in February.  On April 8th, two young black women, students where I work, were stabbed - one to death.  Kayla Green was in 10th grade.  She was a cheerleader.  She was killed by another student, and bled out onto the sidewalk in broad daylight.  There were no wypipo or police involved in the killing.

This was the entrance to our cafeteria for the past few months.  You can see how Kayla looked when she was alive:

Kriegman's story dovetails with this because it exposes the Corporate Media, the SJW, the White Lawn Sign Liberal, and how they are all despicable.  Stop thinking they care about you, about race, about POC's - they care about being in control and being part of the 'in crowd'.  Kayla Green is dead.  There will be no protests, no grift, no nothing.  BLM is nowhere to be found.  But the lawn sigh shitlib can continue to walk around with that smug attitude and smile on its face because they got rid of a truth teller, and the Kayla Greens of the world don't matter.  Only their image and status matter.

If someone gets fired or killed, so be it.  At least they have a lawn sign that shows they 'care'.  Hashtag BLM - right?

You've never heard of Kayla Green.  Now you know why.

How THEY Fool YOU

This is probably the oldest 'conspiracy theory' in the world.

The thing is, it still works.  If you think about it just a bit, combining the behavior of the corporate press with your own intuition that 'something is wrong', you'll see what I am talking about.

This was a lesson for my 12th graders, and it went over well (answering the questions is optional for you guys):

--------

What Is an Allegory?

The word ‘allegory’ comes from the Latin ‘allegoria,’ meaning speaking to imply something else. An allegory represents a larger point about society or human nature through a simple story, in which different characters may represent real-life figures. Sometimes, situations in the story may echo stories from history or modern-day life without ever explicitly stating this connection.

Allegories are similar to metaphors in that both illustrate an idea by making a comparison to something else. However, allegories are complete stories with characters, while metaphors are brief figures of speech. Animal Farm is an example of an allegory.

What Is The Allegory of the Cave?

The Allegory of the Cave is a Socratic dialogue recorded by Greek philosopher Plato. Plato was a student of Socrates, and one of the few people to write down some of his many teachings, which were eventually compiled into their own books. The Republic is one such book, containing The Allegory of the Cave, a dialogue between Socrates and Plato’s brother Glaucon. As presented by Plato, Socrates’s allegory of the cave imagines a group of people chained together inside an underground cave as prisoners. Behind the prisoners there is a fire, and between the prisoners and the fire are moving puppets and real objects on a raised walkway with a low wall. However, the prisoners are unable to see anything behind them, as they have been chained and stuck looking in one direction—at the cave wall—their whole lives.

As they look at the wall before them, they believe the shadows of objects cast by the moving figures are real things—and the only things. Their visible world is their whole world. The narrative goes on to ponder about what would happen if one of the prisoners were forced to leave. What would they see? How would they adjust? Would they believe what they saw outside? What would happen to them if they returned to the cave? Would they be able to see the same things they saw before? The narrative assumes the freed prisoner would return and try to liberate their fellow prisoners, now knowing how much more of the world exists outside the cave. However, in its conclusion, Socrates and Glaucon agree that the other prisoners would likely kill those who try to free them, as they would not want to leave the safety and comfort of their known world.

What Does The Allegory of the Cave Mean?

Plato uses the cave as a symbolic representation of how human beings live in the world, contrasting reality versus our interpretation of it. These two ideas reflect the two worlds in the story: the world inside the cave, and the world outside. For the prisoners in the cave, the shadows on the wall created by firelight are all they know to be real. If one of the prisoners breaks free and witnesses the outside world, they will come to understand that as the true reality. However, when the freed prisoner returns to the darkness of the cave, their eyes will have now been blinded by the light of the sun, and their fellow prisoners still inside the cave will believe that it is the outside world that is harmful; to them, that truth is not worth seeking.

The allegory delves into the philosophical thought of truth, and how those with different experiences or backgrounds may perceive it. The shadows on the wall of the cave are constantly changing, so there is no stability or consistency offered for those who bear witness to them—only a false reality. They have no knowledge that the real world exists outside of their dark cave, or even that there is a real world other than their own. Meanwhile, the person who has left the cave will not be able to exist as they once did. In fact, they may even come to pity or feel superior to those who remain in the cave. The allegory essentially demonstrates the conflicts between knowledge and belief and what happens to a person once they’ve been enlightened. It is an examination on the nature of humanity, and fear of the unknown.






 

Choose the Red Pill or the Blue Pill scene from "The Matrix":

Questions for Consideration and Discussion:

1. Please explain Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" in your own, more modern words. How might you explain it to someone who has never heard of it before?
2. Can you come up with an example of when you interpreted something, and someone else had a totally different interpretation? Explain with clarity please.
3. John Taylor Gatto called it: "Fencing with shadows." While it sounds conspiratorial, so you think the 'Power Elite' put things out there to get the people bickering about nonsense? Stated differently, do they put pointless things out there - shadows - in order to keep us in the cave?
4. goog_1461399191"However, the prisoners are unable to see anything behind them, as they have been chained and stuck looking in one direction—at the cave wall—their whole lives." What are you looking at all the time?

Crypto COLLAPSE: Look Out BELOW!

The Crypto ecosystem is collapsing.  What was once an intelligent stab at independent digital money, brought about by intelligent cryptographers (Hal Finney et al), has become a corrupt, Ponzi-esque dumpster fire.

Bitcoin was never intended to be:

• A store of value.
• Digital gold.
• A dollar replacement.
• Your retirement fund.
• A get rich quick plan.
• "Number go up." (laser eyes)
• "Have fun staying poor." (laser eyes)

It was intended to be a trustless cash system, where it was mathematically etched in stone on the blockchain that your money was yours, and you could digitally send it real time to someone else.  You didn't need a third party (the 'trust' part) to determine that the funds were yours, or legit.  It's all very libertarian, and elegant in its simplicity.

Over the years the crypto world has become corrupt beyond recognition.  It looks like the chickens have come home to roost.

As I write this, the market cap for the crypto universe has collapsed from well over $3 trillion to $933 billion.  That's a big drop.

Terra Luna, a token / stablecoin outfit, went bust last week. Zeroed out.

The Celsius Network, a place where you could 'unbank' yourself, and earn huge yield on your money, went bust a few days ago.

Do you see the third name on the list above?  Tether is next.  Tether is the (theoretically) 1:1 dollar - backed stable coin that is used all throughout the cryptoverse to buy millions in Bitcoin as well as other cryptocurrencies.

The problem is that no one can see where the newly created Tether comes from, nor can anyone figure out if Tether is truly backed by anything of value.  Think of it this way:  The price of Bitcoin isn't really in dollars, it's in Tether.  Right now, Bitcoin = 20,570 Tether.

If Tether is a house of fraudulent cards. When it goes down, the whole cryptoverse will look even worse than this BTC chart:

Tether is the underpinning of much of the whole crypto economy.  If the charlatans who run Tether are unable to maintain 1:1 backing or confidence in their product, BTC will collapse, and most of the other cryptocurrencies will go to zero.

The cracks are already showing:

The combination of easy money, lack of discipline, the SEC asleep at the switch, Tether using smoke and mirrors to stay afloat, and people unwilling to recognize obvious frauds (Celsius was offering 20% return on deposits!) has allowed this to happen.  I think it's going to get worse. 

And yes, you can send me BCH at the address below, as it will be one of the 12,000 cryptos to survive the implosion.

It's Going to Get WORSE

Irina Slav is keeping me informed about all the bad Energy Decisions afoot in the EU. I am a subscriber to her page, and recommend her work:

The EU is going to ban insurers from insuring Russian oil.  That will show Putin!

Irina Slav predicts, correctly, the following:

"So, we have:

• higher government spending for governments already burdened by a lot of pandemic spending, 
• higher energy prices, 
• higher oil import bills, and shrinking global oil supply, which means 
• higher oil prices overall.

This in turn will lead to the need for even more government help for consumers and businesses, even higher oil import bills and so on. It’s a rather pretty vicious circle as far as vicious circles go."

Ms. Slav is correct, of course.  

She brings up the question of whether these people are stupid or malicious.  There were some clueless conservative commenters who are SURE that these EU people are simply stupid.  Slav words things a bit better, and opens up that she's considering a - gasp! - conspiracy (emphasis mine):

"This seems to be an opinion shared by the decision-makers in Brussels. Indeed, it makes sense. In fact, it makes so much sense that I have had the growing suspicion — which I’ve shared previously here — that in their endless efforts to make the transition work, EU politicians may well choose a course of action that seeks to make fossil fuels prohibitively expensive in order to boost the competitiveness of wind and solar, and EVs.

To be perfectly honest, this still sounds a little too conspiratorial for my taste and I’d rather bet on incompetence driving decision-makers to the decisions that will put us all in the vicious circle. In other words, I’m inclined to believe that the acceleration of the energy transition as prompted by the oil crisis is more likely an unintended rather than an intended consequence.

The reason for this belief of mine is that this acceleration will also have major unintended consequences of the sort that simply cannot be intended. Unless, of course, one argues that blackouts and energy rationing are part of a plan to significantly reduce energy consumption in the most active consumers as part of another, bigger, plan to rearrange world order. And this is how we enter another vicious circle, this time a circle of speculation, that I’d rather not stay in. I’ll wait for evidence."

I don't think these people are stupid at all.  And Ms. Slav should see that the 'evidence' is right in front of her.  They know how people work, how to get power, and how to hold on to it.  This was my comment, mostly directed toward the "don't attribute to malice what can easily be explained by stupidity" crowd:

"Great article. You've nailed the vicious cycle that will ensue with yet another poor decision. I don't think these people are "stupid" at all. They're trying to maintain their world order, no matter the cost. Weak, hungry, desperate people with no access to regular energy sources are very easy to control. That may sound harsh and ridiculous to us, but these people don't care. They want power, and will do whatever it takes to consolidate power and maintain it.

Russia, China, India and Iran (and others) want no part of the "Rules Based Neo Liberal World Order" or whatever they're calling it these days. The forces at work who have destroyed once proud western Christian nations have no place to land this time around. To me, it all looks quite religious, for lack of a better term.

And the "how long will people tolerate this!?" question has been answered already. The 'land of the free' citizens dutifully wore a useless mask on their faces, closed their businesses and churches, kept their children home from school, and did as they were told. All the while their health authorities were publishing data that 99+ percent of those under 70 were effectively at no risk.

They bent the knee for Cough Lockdowns. They will now sacrifice for Climate Lockdowns. How those lockdowns look will remain to be seen. Perhaps something like this - and it will work:

ATTN: "Power will be curtailed tonight as we need to sacrifice 3 nights this week all summer to fight climate change." Thank you citizens of (fill in western city here). #savetheplanet #followthescience "

In case you think I'm wrong, here's one of the top lieutenants of the NWO recently telling us that BUG19 really wasn't that big of risk, that the survival rate was not much worse than the regular flu:

And people wonder why 'STUPID19' is one of my most popular labels on this blog site.

Those of us who recognized what Gates said above, spoke and wrote about it in the Spring of 2020 were maligned, censored, banned, and ridiculed.  The lizards at the top of the Pyramid will put the boot on your throat, especially if you're afraid of being called bad names online.  

Don't let them do that.

Climate CONTROL

Controlling the Narrative is no longer a secret:

Our Overlords are meeting in Davos to not only see to it that my latest YouTube video was banned, but also make sure that 'climate change' is discussed in only one manner.  Susan, seen above, has no science background whatsoever.  This doesn't matter if you're on the correct side of The Narrative.  It DOES matter if you're on the incorrect side of The Narrative.  See how this works?  You can be Fred Singer or Richard Lindzen or Kari Mullis, and you're a skeptic / crank / conspiracy theorist / disinformation peddler.  If you're a History and Literature major from UC Santa Cruz, home of the Banana Slugs, you get to stifle speech and ideas.

And people wonder why the moniker "clown world" is spreading.

Doomberg's latest post reminisces about how the leftist / atheists of the past would be shocked over the lack of critical thought around 'climate change / global warming'.  Doomberg uses Carl Sagan as a lens to see how different things are today:

The above quote comes from a 1996 interview with Charlie Rose.  That isn't ancient history.  It sounds like something from another world, however, because now you have Davos Man and the Globalist faction openly saying that there is no more scientific debate.

Today's ruling class, the "Neo liberal rules based world order", is angry that anyone dare dissent from their ideas. They're also pissed that the Rabble might hear a dissenting opinion, or realize that science is supposed to be eternally challenged.  That's why you hear oxymoronic slogans like "the science is settled" or "it's a scientific certainty" from these people.  Only a scientific illiterate or someone afraid wouldn't welcome intense scrutiny.  That's how "The Science!" is supposed to be done.

You should expect this current garbage ruling class to act this way.  That's what they've always done.  They're after power at any cost.  The regular people around you who unthinkingly inhale this nonsense are the people to avoid.

Go your own way and build your own thing.  It's much more rewarding than debating "climate change!!" on Fbook with some clod who thinks censorship is acceptable.

Everything is FAKE: Presentation

This was an argumentative presentation for my Public Speaking class. The intent was to be argumentative and show how the use of Rhetoric, as well as Reason, could be used to sway opinion.

UPDATE:

One of the Liberal Arts majors at YouTube didn't like the video very much.  I just got this:

So I have now been permabanned from Twitter, and had a video removed from YouTube.  Remember, I'm a nobody.  I teach HS English in the black neighborhood.  I work in a public school, and I'm in the teacher's union.  Doesn't matter.  If you go against the Corporations who fund the WHO, you're forfeit.

The Plandemic, the Scamdemic, the CONrona virus is one of their cudgels to send everyone into the technocratic feudalism they're planning for us.  They are going to fail, but they certainly will try hard to get what they want.

I've been thinking about moving over to substack, or my own website, but we'll see how things go.  

For now, here is the video that the overly sensitive, control freak SJW oddballs at YouTube didn't want you to see:

Blame the REGULAR GUY: SuperSTONK Edition

The Power Elite are preparing for the inevitable collapse.  They are building the narrative already.  YOU are the person to blame.  The regular people and their stupidity are the cause:

It would be ridiculous to go into the crimes, double standards, pratfalls, and economy destroying moves of the Elitists on Wall St.  There are libraries full of the wretched excesses of The Elite Wall St. Class.

But what is worth mentioning here is that the SEC is building The Narrative NOW.  Despite allowing the most rapacious vampire squid sickos to do what they will with your financial future and the economy of the United States, the SEC has decided that the blame will be pinned on the Redditors at SuperSTONK and the people there.  As if the crayon eating apes talking about stonks have the clout to move the financial sector.  It's a sick and disgusting stunt.

I think they see what's coming.  The rumblings are getting louder.  The SEC, unable and unwilling to slap the wrists of Big Corporate Power, has instead decided to direct the blame at regular people.  Regular folk can't fight back.  They don't have any pull in Corporate Media.

So instead of trying to fix what's broken, Gensler and the band of ineffective financial archeologists at the SEC are going to lay the blame at the feet of people who have had their financial future destroyed - by the SEC.

Jim Chanos, the legendary short seller, calls this "the golden age of fraud".  This will help guide you through the financial thicket and avoid the land mines:
