It's Not About Energy, It's About Power

One of the argument of the globalists is that the amount of available fossil fuel cannot generate the energy required to lift the Third World to the First. Hence, the First World must reduce its energy consumption such that both First and Third Worlds come to a median usage – bad for the First World, great for the Third World (for now) and perfect for the elites no longer having the global middle class competing with them for energy and prosperity. This is what the "climate change" hoax is about – not CO2. The poor become richer, the middle becomes poorer, and the ruling class continues

Talking the Talk on 'Climate Change'

What are we to make of an article by William Hague, a former U.K. Foreign Secretary from 2010 to 2014, that predicts Britain’s armed forces may one day be sent into action abroad to safeguard the natural environment from such predators as oil companies and loggers? Quoted by the Daily Mail from an article in the journal Environmental Affairs, Lord Hague writes:
In the past the UK has been willing to use armies to secure and extract fossil fuels. But in the future, armies will be sent to ensure oil is not drilled and to protect natural environments.
That prediction is startling from several standpoints.
We have been wearing masks for over a year. We have been quarantined in government facilities and in our homes. We have been rigorously locked-down in a futile attempt to control a virus that is clearly unimpressed by our efforts. The latest installment in the Covid frenzy is the love affair with the various vaccines, a mammoth suite of pharmaceutical interventions, that have flooded the market, promising eventual salvation from the ravages of the pandemic. Yet the negative side of these disparate vaccines has gone largely unreported. While assuring us that pharmaceutical tests have been professionally run on the whole,
In 1971, first-time novelist Frederick Forsyth, a former RAF pilot, journalist, and war correspondent, published “The Day of the Jackal,” a grippingly realistic thriller about an anonymous hired assassin known only as the Jackal, who very nearly assassinates French president Charles de Gaulle in revenge for his abandonment of France’s long-time colony of Algeria in 1962. (snip) Cut to France today, where last week some 20 retired French generals and other officers and enlisted men (some of them still serving) penned a startling open letter, directly addressed to president Emmanuel Macron
Imagine a proposal for an overhaul of medical practice to treat patients not on the basis of their individual health needs, but on the basis of their race. Imagine further that the proposal is predicated on a deep sense of racial grievance, including the expressed conviction that the Trump administration actively refrained from helping people of color dying from Covid-19 (deliberately perpetrating “incremental genocide”) and that most white doctors have practiced de facto apartheid for decades.
Then imagine that this proposal is not a malign fantasy by race bigots (or not simply that), but an actual pilot project being implemented this spring at one of America’s top cardiology hospitals
“The people have spoken,” said former New York City mayor Ed Koch after the Democratic mayoral primary of 1989, “and they must be punished.”
The understandably bitter Koch had just been defeated by David Dinkins and was bidding his farewell to politics. And in fact, the people were punished: the one-term Dinkins, who defeated Rudy Giuliani in the general election that year to become the city’s first black mayor, saw crime soar on his impeccably tailored watch, with murders hitting a high of 2,605 the following year.
Four years later, even the Upper West Side had had enough and called the cops.
As if there were any doubts about the animosity directed by the Left against the United States of America, President Joe Biden’s announcement that all American troops will be withdrawn from George W. Bush’s ill-conceived and thoroughly wasteful war in Afghanistan by Sept. 11, 2021 finally ought to dispel them.
Think they picked that date out of a hat? Think again.
Thanks to Biden’s absurdly long position at the D.C. trough (he was first elected to the Senate in 1972), this president will now have the distinction of being in Washington for two of America’s greatest defeats
A ‘Woke’ Minority Has Seized America

The problem with “progressivism” is that—as current events plainly demonstrate—there is no end to it. Once the adherents of Critical Theory turn their basilisk glares on one crucial facet of Western civilization or another, they won’t stop until they have destroyed our entire cultural edifice, and all in the name of “social justice” masquerading as “progress.” That “progressivism” is the destructive philosophy of resentful losers matters nothing to them when their blood is up. That “social justice” is just another word for punitive fascism thrills them to the bone. That if the word “justice” needs a modifier then it’s not justice at all, but revenge, is the whole point.
Spring has finally arrived here in rural New England, the air crisp and fresh, the skies blue. The annual promise of renewal, symbolized by a glorious Easter Sunday, washes away the gloom of winter as new life bursts from the ground.
How sad it is, then—how demoralizing—to see our fellow citizens in the sunshine with slave masks on, heads down, avoiding eye contact with their fellow villagers, furtively shuffling along like sullen convicts getting a few moments in the prison yard before returning to their cells to continue a life sentence without possibility of parole.
If you’re bewildered by the breakneck pace of “change” since the inauguration of Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., back on Jan. 20, you’re not alone.
Average Americans have been puzzled and, in many case, chagrined by the flurry of executive orders, ukases, policy prescriptions, social proscriptions, vengeful rollbacks, and other government meddling in the lives of our citizens. Conservatives, meanwhile, understand that all this activity has one overarching purpose: to punish the bad Orange Man and the country that voted for him. And make sure he never happens again.
In 1964, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in the case of Sullivan v. the New York Times, a landmark opinion regarding libel law and a gift to irresponsible and inaccurate journalists across the land. Issued during the civil-rights era—a time when many constitutional protections were unthinkingly tossed aside in the name of a higher good—Sullivan essentially gave carte blanche for media companies to attack public figures with legal impunity.
The case began in 1960 when the Times ran an ad from supporters of Martin Luther King, Jr. requesting donations to help the civil-rights leader.
This correction in the “news” pages of the Washington Post a few days ago is simply stunning—and tells you all you need to know about the state of the mainstream media today:
“Two months after publication of this story, the Georgia secretary of state released an audio recording of President Donald Trump’s December phone call with the state’s top elections investigator. The recording revealed that The Post misquoted Trump’s comments on the call, based on information provided by a source. Trump did not tell the investigator to ‘find the fraud’ or say she would be ‘a national hero’ if she did so.

Former Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said on this week’s broadcast of “CBS Sunday Morning” that she was “absolutely” planning to run for president of the United States in the future.Abrams said, “You earlier said people take voting for granted. When you’ve never had to think about the hardship of voting, then yes, these conversations on voter suppression seem absurd to you. When you have never spent more than seven minutes in line, it is nearly impossible to imagine that there are poor Black people who stand in line for eight hours, miss an entire day’s wages,

By the time the Cola Wars really heated up in the 1980s, Coca-Cola had perennially enjoyed the upper hand over Pepsi in a rivalry that dated to the dawn of the twentieth century. (snip) Coke is destroying the pro-America brand association that it had been building for over a century because “it’s afraid” of the political forces aligning against it. (snip) This time, the degree to which Coke has offended its consumers runs much deeper than our taste buds.
The most relentless slander the Democrats leveled against President Trump was that he was a racist. (snip) Mixed race Kamala would bring her intersectional chops to the Latinx politicians and all would be well.
Except nothing went well. Kamala, whom I’ve always been told by people who know her, is as dumb as a box of rocks with the personality of an arch narcissist, managed to leave President Lopez Obrador in a towering rage, furious at American machinations and deeply offended when she simply walked out on him.
Cyberattacks on US soil are 'here to stay' a Joe Biden official warned Sunday, following a sophisticated ransomware attack on the largest gasoline pipeline in the country. The pipeline remained shut as of Sunday evening with its operator declining to say when it would reopen. Colonial Pipeline said it will bring the full system back online 'only when we believe it is safe to do so'. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo had earlier warned Sunday: 'This is what businesses now have to worry about.(Snip) Bloomberg News, citing people familiar with the matter, said hackers took nearly 100 gigabytes of data out of Colonial's network
Back on November 30, 2020, Maricopa County elections witness Jan Bryant testified before the Arizona legislature. Jan has a strong project management background. She could not believe what she witnessed during the 2020 election in Maricopa County, Arizona.Jan said back on November 30, 2020, that Maricopa County officials DID NOT RUN THE ELECTION! Dominion employees John and Bruce did. Jan’s testimony might explain why Maricopa County officials do not have Admin passwords or access to the Dominion voting machines.
It's already ridiculous that the foundation of this country relies on who the president is when one of nine geriatric Supreme Court justices either dies or retires. It's doubly ridiculous then, that a Supreme Court justice would understand this fickle structure, see its constant abuse by one political side, and yet refuse to retire when the party that most aligns with their judicial philosophy is in power. (Snip) Apparently, history really does repeat itself, as another left-leaning, 80-something year-old Supreme Court justice is refusing to retire at a time when the Democrats have a precarious hold on the Senate, and
Starbucks is reportedly considering closing its Facebook page as a result of the 'hateful comments' in response to some of their posts. An internal memo, obtained by Buzzfeed, showed concern within Starbucks at the rhetoric on the site.(Snip)'Anytime they post (organically) in regards to social issues or their mission & values work (e.g. BLM, LGBTQ, sustainability/climate change, etc.) they are overwhelmed by negative/insensitive, hate speech related comments on their posts.' The Facebook employee said that Starbucks was having problems moderating the avalanche of hate speech, and was unable to disable comments on their page. Much of the offensive commentary is swiftly removed.

A former Olympic weightlifter claims that female athletes are being told to “be quiet” about transgender weightlifter Laurel Hubbard ahead of his Olympic debut.
Hubbard is a 43-year-old biological male competing as a woman. Should Hubbard pass the New Zealand Olympic Committee (NZOC) fitness and performance standards, he would become the first trans athlete to compete in the Olympics.
Tracey Lambrechs, a former Olympic weightlifter from New Zealand, expressed disappointment at the prospect of Hubbard taking away the opportunity to compete from women.

Fox News’ Chris Wallace tried to hold a struggle session on Sunday with a Republican Congressman who objected to the 2020 election results. The results must have been disappointing. Rep. Jim Banks not only didn’t fall for it, but he threw the premise back in Wallace’s face.The 2020 election came up in the context of Rep. Liz Cheney, who now finds her leadership position increasingly threatened in light of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s endorsement of replacing her with Rep. Elise Stefanik.“I’m just asking a question,” Wallace remarked. “Liz Cheney is saying it’s a big lie to say the election was stolen.
On Friday’s broadcast of “CBS This Morning,” Michelle Obama made the delusional claim, one among several, that “many of us still live in fear as we go to the grocery store, or walking our dogs, or allowing our children to get a license.” (snip) Barack Obama knows better, but he has lived in fear as well. That fear deformed his presidency and sent the nation spiraling down a lethal rabbit hole that has benefitted no one more than the Mao-loving matrons of BLM. (snip) there is no one Barack fears more than wife Michelle, his personal emissary from the world of authentic African-Americans.

The results of the 2020 Election are again not supported by evidence. This time the data reported by the Census Bureau conflicts with the election results.According to the US Census Bureau’s results from the 2020 Census, their are obvious discrepancies with the results of the 2020 Election. (Snip) According to the Census, the recorded number of people voting in 2020 was tallied at 154,628,000. On the other hand, official results place the number of actual ballots cast slightly north of 158 million. That’s a discrepancy of nearly four million votes.

Senator Elizabeth Warren wants $50,000 in student loan debt canceled. She wants $700 billion invested in child care. She wants the richest Americans to be taxed based on their total wealth. (Photo) President Biden has not shown an appetite to do any of those things in full.But the senior senator from Massachusetts is focusing her energies on tugging her onetime rival left, not on planning another presidential campaign, she said in an interview with the Globe.“Joe Biden is running for re-election in 2024. My job right now is to help him succeed,” Warren, 71, said when asked if she would consider running for president again
