Limits to Growth Revisited

Original Article

Posted By: DVC, 3/27/2023 3:42:51 PM

Oh my God -- we’re doomed. The UN’s Panel on Climate Change came out with a frightening report earlier this month that we are sitting on a global time bomb, and according to CNN, “time is running out,” without immediate drastic action. The UN report states that if global temperatures reach 1.5 C above the pre-industrial temperature norm of 1850-1900, the resulting melting of the polar ice caps, rising oceans, and unprecedented ecological disaster will follow.

The walls have been closing in since 1968/72. We have wasted over 50 years. For FIFTY YEARS we have ignored the experts and finally the end can no longer be delayed. Repent flat-earthers, the the awful vengeance of Gaia is now upon us.

Even the most conservative climate models predicted in the late 90's didn't even come close. This climate alarmism is from globalist elites who pay certain entities to invent dire warnings and then the rest of science repeats it, given grants to go along, and those who don't are intimidated and have sidelined.

And in the People's Republic of Colorado, we were once told that the Denver metro area was running out of solid waste landfill capacity and that we would have to resort to recycling everything. But then the public goes, meh. Fast forward 40 years to today and presto chango, still lots of landfill capacity. Look, I'm all in for common sense when it comes to global growth. But I have no patience at all for those lefties, deep staters, rinos, msm drones, and globalists who disguise their lust for political gain by hiding behind their limited growth schtick. And of course, Klaus, this includes you, pal.

I got a copy of Limits to Growth in 1972 and read it as an engineering student. I thought hard about their conclusions, wondered "Who in the heck is this Club of Rome?" still an question without an answer....they were nobody, really. And all their "computer modeling" was pure, 100% unadulterated nonsense. Everything they put out was completely, massively wrong. So....just laugh at the latest climate crazies. They are massively, completely wrong, too. Nonsense then, nonsense now.

And Just Like That, Natural Immunity is
No Longer a Conspiracy Theory

Natural immunity to disease is, or at least was, a well-known concept in medicine. By disease, I mean viral infections. One can’t develop natural immunity to diseases like diabetes or heart failure. Many of us remember “chicken pox parties” where when one kid was infectious, he or she was invited over to play with your kids, so they all got infected and then they did not have to worry about getting chicken pox again, due to natural immunity. The CDC defines it as follows: “Natural immunity is acquired from exposure to the disease organism through infection with the actual disease.”
One Year Later, A Conservative Case for Ukraine 27 replies

The Ukrainians have not only held their own, but have managed to liberate a good chunk of their conquered territory. They’ve been buoyed tremendously by a constant influx of Western military aid. I argue here, against a small but vocal conservative faction, that we should continue this aid. There has been plenty of unhelpful hyperbole on both sides of the debate. Prominent pro-Ukrainers have attempted to equate opposition to Ukrainian aid as opposition to democracy itself. Michael Beschloss, NBC’s resident Rent-A-Zinn, referencing members of Congress who didn’t applaud Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s recent speech, and in Stalinist fashion, tweeted “we need to know from them exactly why.”

David Archibald, an Australian scientist and analyst, counterintuitively argues that China is weaker than we think. I don’t agree with everything Archibald says, both factually and theoretically, but I thought his essay is interesting enough to bring to your attention. The premise of Archibald’s claim that China is not as forbidding as Xi Jinping makes it appear is summed up in a single sentence: “China has a lot of structural problems that make it a fragile state, a frail state and even potentially a future failed state.” Archibald makes five major points: One: China’s demographic games have been disastrous. Mao, who believed in big battalions, deliberately encouraged massive population growth
Seymour Hersh’s pipeline bombing story

The bombshell last week was that Seymour Hersh, an investigative reporter who made his name in Vietnam reporting on the My Lai massacre, had released a Substack essay proving that Joe Biden ordered the Nord Stream pipelines to be blown up. Now, though, an analyst says that the essay is manifestly untrue. (This doesn’t erase the possibility that Biden blew up the pipelines; it just means that Hersh’s version isn’t what happened.) [snip] Hersh’s report was based on a single anonymous source, I wasn’t ready to believe it without further corroboration.
California DA calls Newsom a 'menace to

A California district attorney unloaded on Gov. Gavin Newsom Friday as the state officials remain locked in a war of words over the death of a police officer allegedly gunned down by a released convict while on duty. Fresno County District Attorney Lisa Smittcamp has squarely blamed liberal leaders' criminal justice reforms for the tragedy, saying Newsom has "blood" on his hands. Newsom, in a heated response, pointed the finger at Smittcamp's prosecutorial discretion in the case. Gonzalo Carrasco Jr., a 24-year-old officer with the Selma Police Department, was allegedly gunned down by a released convict on the job Tuesday. Authorities have identified the suspect as 23-year-old Nathaniel Dixon

So migrants do indeed enter countries illegally and bring with them a lot of crime. That's what anyone who lives in a migrant zone, which includes Europe, already knows, given the scope of soaring crime in such areas.  A recent Swedish study, cited below, certainly found a link: According to a RealClearPolitics investigation, by respected researchers John R. Lott, Jr. and James Varney, a Swedish study has proven that there is a significant link between illegal immigration and violent crime, noting Sweden's sudden upsurge in violent crime traced to unassimilated illegal immigrants.  RCI collected homicide data for the European Union from the United Nations
Two States Now Have Universal School Choice

n Tuesday, Iowa became the second state in the country to pass universal school choice, directly providing families with funds to support their children’s education. Arizona was the trendsetter for this new wave of educational freedom after Gov. Doug Ducey signed universal school choice into law on July 7, 2022.  Now the race is on to advance educational freedom, with several red states looking to follow suit. The significance of these developments can hardly be overstated. What was once a pipe dream for many education reformers — the enabling of school choice at scale during their lifetimes — is now becoming a reality.

The steel tower, which once stood hundreds of feet tall, was buckled in half, and the turbine blades, whose rotation took the machine higher than the Statue of Liberty, were splayed across the wheat field below. The turbine, made by General Electric Co., had been in operation less than a year.

We are now three years after the COVID-19 apocalypse began, and the CDC and WHO still refuse to acknowledge that the virus was created in and escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). But they, along with all our institutions, have lied so often and so egregiously that 72% of the public doesn’t believe them. If nothing else, that is a very positive sign. The evidence for the lab leak is as overwhelming as the evidence for a zoonotic origin is non-existent. For anyone trained in the art of biology to deny the lab origin betrays either deceit or, worse, willful ignorance.

German authorities want to put a famous Jewish composer and Holocaust survivor into a psychiatric clinic and want to force her to take the COVID injection. According to the news outlet Report24, Inna Zhvanetskaya, who lives in Stuttgart, Germany, was supposed to be taken to a psychiatric institution for a string of claimed mental illnesses, and forcefully injected with the COVID vaccines on January 11, which she does not want. (Report24 says it has been in personal contact with Zhvanetskaya.) However, according to several reports, she has been transferred to a safe place by sympathetic activists who wanted to prevent her from being detained and vaccinated against her will.

In mid-December, Dr. John Lott, president of the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) and a world-recognized expert on guns and crime, testified before a Congressional subcommittee on violence and made some startling revelations. Perhaps one of the most important was that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) covered up the fact that armed citizens use their guns quite frequently to stop active shooter attacks. According to Lott’s testimony before the U.S. House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security, the FBI grossly underreported the number of times armed citizens had stopped active shooters.

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie suggested to an audience on Monday that he may enter the 2024 presidential race to torpedo former President Donald Trump. Christie made the remarks while speaking at St. Anselm’s College in New Hampshire. Christie campaigned in New Hampshire more than any other GOP candidate in 2016 and was blown out there, leading him to suspend his campaign. “You better have somebody on that stage who can do to him what I did to Marco because that’s the only thing that’s gonna defeat Donald Trump,” Christie said in reference to him going hard after Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) during the debates.

"What Donald Trump ought to be doing, that is putting forward a vision for the future not complaining endlessly about the past," DeVine told FOX News host Laura Ingraham. "I think the fact that he spent so much of that interview talking about his current issues with [Manhattan DA] Alvin Bragg I think was a waste as well.

Way back in the mid-1980s, communist Yugoslavia exported the Yugo, a compact car that sold for around $4,000. It was so poorly made that bumping into a pole at 5 mph could total it. Fast forward to today, and a new class of cars has a similar problem. A minor accident can cause a total loss, even if the car’s been driven only a few miles. The only difference is that these cars aren’t cheap imports from some godforsaken socialist state. These are state-of-art electric vehicles that come with an average sticker price of $55,000. Why are insurance companies totaling low-mileage EVs that have been in a fender bender?

There is no laughter, though, when trying to decipher the biological sex of the school shooter who killed three children and three adults in Nashville (snip) She was, quite simply, a completely evil woman, although I’m certain that her sense of victimhood due to her untreated mental illness exacerbated the sense of ill-usage that drove her to slaughter children.
