To say the recent remarks from German Economic and Climate Minister Robert Habeck showcase the stupidity of the western sanctions would be an understatement. In a broad energy policy announcement to the German people, Minister Habeck has announced that natural gas is now urgently being stored and built up in order to survive next winter.
Additionally, the German parliament is being called into emergency session to re-write climate laws allowing coal-fired electricity power plants to be brought back on-line. Essentially, years of German renewable energy investments and initiatives are now being reversed in order to maintain the commitment to NATO sanctions against Russia.
You can read the full translated remarks HERE. Some of the more stunning excerpts are below.
GERMANY – Minister Robert Habeck […] “The situation on the gas market has deteriorated in recent days. The missing quantities can still be replaced, and the gas storage tanks are still being filled, albeit at high prices. Security of supply is currently guaranteed. But the situation is serious. We are therefore further strengthening precautions and taking additional measures to reduce gas consumption.
[…] In order to reduce gas consumption, less gas is to be used to produce electricity. Instead, coal-fired power plants will have to be used more. […] That means, to be honest, more coal-fired power plants for a transitional period. That’s bitter, but in this situation it’s almost necessary to reduce gas consumption. We must and we will do everything we can to store as much gas as possible in summer and autumn. The gas storage tanks must be full in winter. That has top priority, ”said Habeck. (read full remarks)
In order to unbuckle themselves from dependence on Russian pipelines, Habeck also announced that floating Liquified Natural Gas terminals will have to be created so they can source LNG from other nations. Currently Germany has no port system to offload LNG, they will be purchasing and leasing floating ships to act as LNG terminals.
I am reminded of the prior warning to Germany from U.S. President Donald Trump. It’s worth remembering that U.S. media blasted President Trump for being so brutally honest in his NATO remarks where he warned about the danger of Germany being so dependent on Russia for oil and gas. WATCH:
At this point I’d be willing to install PDJT as president by the point of a gun, skip the 2024 election and install him again for a four year term before resuming elections again.
In the meantime, clean out the corruption by any means necessary. Are these extreme measures? Yup. Are they illegal? Yup. Ask me if I care. We either lose our Republic playing nice by the rules. Or we take a big gamble that would be bloody and messy. But may give us a shot at saving the Republic!
hell, let’s install him for 8 years
they hamstrung him the first 4
Plus he gets to install Don Jr for eight years to redo the ineligible usurper Obama’s reign.
Don Jr is CONSTITUTIONALLY ineligible to be POTUS
Please explain.
His mom was a foreigner when he was born. End of.
Wasn’t obama’s father a foreign national?
but…but…but… he’s a democrat!
A much easier and more effective way of winning the fight without violence is by millions of people withdrawing their cash out of the banks, stop paying taxes, buying more guns, and homeschooling their children.
We seem addicted to “easy answers”, and sometimed there are no easy answers, that will WORK.
Awhile back, I thought if all the DOERS, the people who keep the trains maintained and running on time, truck drivers, etc. ALL went on Strike, or even a significant portion, “WE” could shut the country down, and force change, much as they did in Poland.
THEN, I watched the enemy shut the country down, to their benefit, with Covid mandates.
Now, some propose withdrawing our $ from the banks,..a “run” on the banks, because they don’t HAVE the money, its been loaned out.
But I see the Insane Idiots In Charge, working hard to destroy the value of the $, and I doubt this plan would work, either.
WE have frankly spent a lot of time hoping SOMEBODY,….ANYBODY would effectively be our savior, and do it FOR us, so we wouldn’t HAVE to.
From Sessions, Huber, Barr, Durham to “some elite military intelligence outfit” we HOPED somebody would make this nightmare, slow motion trainwreck END.
In the end, it comes down to US, withdrawing our consent to be governed by these asshats.
When/if ENOUGH people withdraw their consent, the Government collapses, as they can not govern, if WE don’t LET them.
And, with Unity, you don’t NEED guns, and without Unity, guns will just get you slaughtered, particularly since they are obviously “all in” on radical depopulation.
So, we continue to throw sand in the gears, we continue to work to elect MAGA candidates at all levels, and watch our movement continue to GROW, and pray we move to UNITY.
THATS the best I’ve got,…
its NOT a quick or easy answer,..and its on US, as there is no “great white hope”; nobody who will act, and make this all better, so WE don’t HAVE to.
IMHO,..
👍 to most, if not all.
You are absolutely correct in how to reverse the globalists March to our enslavement. I remind myself also that it is not our job to remove the tares from the wheat. It’s God’s job. As bad as I would like to see theses azzhats swinging from lamp posts, it is not what God wants from me. More power to you Dutchman
If I understand Locke’s “Consent of the Governed” correctly, society and the government must be dissolved in order for us to withdraw our consent.
At this point, the deterioration of civility and the gentle society that we all agreed to live in has been destroyed by the radicals and intolerant. The government that we agreed to live under is no longer legitimate, and it is not abiding by the rules. It has become a treasonous pit of vipers and slime.
Our society and government must be reformed, and by withdrawing our consent and participation from this evil society it must collapse on itself. They will consume each other.
It cannot continue.
I will do Bernie one better….immediate forgiveness of ALL consumer debts. Mortgages, car loans, all of it. Complete jubilee. Their power is based on lies and fake money. Take away their fake money, and then go after their assets. You won’t need it but I could make a list of the corporate board members who get stripped.
I’m with you, in theory, Dutchman… but… have you seen the numbers of “citizens” STILL wearing the masks, even by their lonesome, in their vehicles, walking down the street, etc…. not much intelligence showing… and we certainly require intelligence to proceed.
Your’re on to something here Dutchman. Refuse to be governed by those who do not have our interests at heart.
Fill in the blank: _________ without representation. Rings familiar.
Like Poland, we must unify. It took great courage, but eventually, through national unification they were able break a communist world superpower, with a mighty military, a brutal KGB, and a government-controlled press. Believe me, the Soviet Union was totalitarian monster back then, yet they were forced to back down.
Unification for Representation. I think an overwhelming portion of the world’s population feels unrepresented right now, including the liberals. Time to stop going at each other’s throats.
That would not be violence free. The UniParty would come down hard on people protesting in this way. Many would end up in solitary confinement.
They already have and are, Matt. J6 peaceful protesters have been and still are incarcerated and mistreated without due process and respect for the rule of law or their rights.
That is also what they want to do to President Trump. They believe if they can capture and imprison him, we will all flee in terror.
They have misjudged us and our God.
True, and we can use that. Every dead enemy, no matter how large or small, is a victory. A life for a life if it comes to that. Our founders didn’t stress over such trivialities, they planned and executed.
However, we can stand by and watch them kill those around us, and us, with impunity. Seems like that’s been going on for awhile now, a lot longer than the last few Presidents.
Justanoldcowboybill, I share your sentiments. Seems to me we are like the British fighting the patriots in the revolution, except we’re playing the role of the British. We are playing by the rule book, the Constitution while the Democrats completely ignore it and make up their rules as they go. They are always on opposition and we are always playing defensive. Can’t win that way.
Glowie?
Sadly this is a pattern. Free nations permit the festering growth of degenerative cancers. As these develop they mutate to gain adherents, using predictable techniques to undermine the society. Our Deep State, who has been doing this all around the world, are exercising their techniques in the U.S. Chief among these there is covid, J6, police intimidation, surveillance, assaults on our families, or livelihoods, our peace of mind, our religion, and our personal security. They are also in several ways holding our children hostage. At some point the parasites make it impossible for the body to survive and in response the nation realizes the government is a threat to their life and responds with authoritarianism. The commies called this reactionary. I think that will happen here. The WEF scum think they can casually enslave us but that will not happen. They are psychopathic and so they are unable to assess that. However I doubt very seriously that at this point we can survive as a representative government. Too many cancer cells that require elimination. Midterms will be a key event. If they can subvert those, and we all know they will try, then the end is nigh.
The machines, the machines, the machines, the machines….
The amount of energy resources on Planet Earth is infinite. The powers that be know this, yet they play this stupid game of trying to make people think that energy resources are scarce. Nothing could be further from the truth.
“Free Energy” was harnessed a very long time ago, long before Nikola Tesla. That technology had to be hidden, suppressed, and eliminated at all costs for if that technology became abundant, the power of the “Elites” would be diminished.
The amount of energy resources in Alaska alone could power the entire planet for thousands of years. They know this. People with common sense know this, but common sense is in shorty supply these days.
So why do the so-called “Elite” so desperately try to make people think that energy resources are not abundant?
They crave power and control more than anything. That’s their business. Cheap and abundant energy challenges their power structure.
Cheap and abundant energy gives rise to a Middle Class that can (God forbid!) challenge the Elite and come too close to their Ivory Towers. They would start a World War or two, or maybe even three to try and prevent such a thing from happening.
The people of the world are primarily governed by psychopaths and sociopaths. There are good people in government, but the people at the top are mostly nuts who are primarily concerned with their own well being and think of the rest of us as a nuisance.
Prince Philip once said that he would like to be reincarnated as a deadly virus as a form of revenge against human overpopulation.
The “Elite” hate humanity for they have never worked or lived a single day in the real world. They are like the Kardashian’s. They live in an unreal and surreal fake, plastic bubble that is disassociated from real life. Calling them sheltered and shallow would be an understatement. They are cruel, callous, unaffectionate, and miserable people.
They are out of touch, and out of their minds.
They’ve been the rulers of humanity for thousands of years, but I think they’re running out time for their evil measures.
Zoo:
People in parts of Britain where the trees were removed thousands of years ago got along nicely burning peat.
Poor Africans use manure for cooking. The health problem is venting the smoke.
Matter is energy. And the sky is blue.
Truth. I knew that cheap energy drove down poverty around the world but never tied it into the big picture as you have done.
Guess who is behind the fake antagonism to nuclear power?
Superb summary.
Thank you.
When confronting Libtards as to the President of the United States. I ask them to name a person beside Trump who is more experienced and competent?
These German idiots deserve to panic. Go woke go cold
They were all so horrified at the uncouth Trump when he merely spoke the truth.
The Europeans who were always bragging about their “clean energy” are being taught a lesson by Putin. Looks like those solar panels and windmills just don’t cut it.
Fire up those dirty old coal plants, Germans. Too bad, so sad.
Germany only has themselves to blame for the cut in Russian gas.
They decided to go along with the globalist/NATO mafia scam and now Russia tells them to piss off and get your gas elsewhere.
The German Gov are up to their necks in the NWO, the corruption of the Freemasons started in Germany centuries ago.
The Rothschild’s made their base there before moving on to London and Paris.
German paramilitary “police” murdered a mRNA whistle blower.
They kick peoples doors down and drag them off for the crime of free speech.
The German Gov and Justice dept would fit in very nicely in DC.
They made their bed and now they can lie in it.
2018 closure of Germany’s last “black coal” mine (anthracite), only lignite from then on
Germany’s last black-coal mine will close next month. But that doesn’t mean the country has weaned itself off the emissions-spewing stuff.
If Germany Can’t Quit Coal, Can Anyone Else?
If they rig the 2022 midterm elections, withdraw your money from the bank and demand cash.
That would be more effective than a civil war.
If a review of monetary policy in the last few years, and the example set by Canada in seizing accounts hasn’t taught you yet to withdraw your monies; then you are begging for a hard and deadly lesson.
It’s pretty easy, liquidate all retirement accounts and investments, run the banks and cease paying all unsecured and secured debts and taxes. If that means stop working, do that. I’ve been posting exactly that methodology here for a long time, to deaf ears. Economic warfare.
Force their soldiers into action, then use that action and numbers to take them out. One for one, if necessary.
Every enemy gone to God is a victory. We sent millions to God in the last world war. Shot them, bombed them, burned them, irradiated them. Soldiers and civilians alike. That’s what humans do; it’s who we are. It’s in our blood, our genes, our history throughout existence. All we need to do is watch what the government is doing to us, those humans. There ya go. They didn’t get special dispensation from God to kill us or destroy our lives and freedoms. Rather, they are simply humans doing what humans naturally do, exerting power and dominance over other humans through fear and death. Being who they really are.
Isn’t Germany going to have to buy much of the coal from Russia? Pretty funny…
This is so funny. It’s Gallows Humor
It’s time to start pruning the low hanging fruit and moving up to the more succulent upper crust.

I know a lot of people point to the video of Trump talking about danger of Germany’s dependence on Russian oil as an example of what a visionary Trump was but the fact is Germany and Europe had been buying energy from Russia for decades going all the way back to Soviet times. It was a good thing! Countries that trade with each other are not at war with each other. Europe not only got cheap energy from Russia but Russia became the biggest market for European luxury goods. It was a real win-win for Germany and Europe.
Even as Trump was complaining about Europe buying Russian energy the U.S. was importing large quantities of Russian oil that U.S. refineries needed after sanctioning the similar grade of heavy crude that Venezuela supplied. So what was the problem really?
When Trump campaigned in 2016 his major foreign policy platform was better relations with Russia. Remember when he said “wouldn’t it be better if we got along with Russia”. Of course Trump was right but as soon as he got into the White House he surrounded himself with neo-con war-pigs like Mike Pompeo who convinced Trump it would be better to drive a wedge between Europe and Russia and to create provocations against Russia in Ukraine. What did Russia do to the United States to warrant such open hostility?
In all his time in office Putin has extended the hand of peace as he tried to develop a partnership with the United States but the people who control U.S. foreign policy (and it make NO DIFFERENCE who is in office apparently, they are all the SAME PEOPLE!) had other ideas so here we are now. On the brink of all-out nuclear war and failing that complete financial collapse.
don’t put all your eggs in one basket
President Trump did not drive a wedge between Russia and Europe
Do you remember how SHAMEFULLY we treated the Russian people’s gift to the USA in remembrance of 9/11? Do you? It is a beautiful fountain sculpture made to look like a tear. It was put across the harbor in NJ out of sight and out of mind. Hidden away as if we were ashamed of it!
I was outraged. Here was a nascent nation only ten years out from under the evils of Communism, and they kindly made a beautiful sculpture to commemorate our dead. They sent deepest sympathies and wishes for cooperation to destroy the terrorists. Did we send them any type of memorial after the South Ossetia school child massacre or the Moscow theater massacre? No? Tells me all I need to know right there.
Well said! Russia also tipped off the U.S. about the Boston bombers and then FBI director Mueller did nothing with that information to stop the bombing.
Well thought out Dutchman and well said.
This had Biden failure fingerprints all over it. Joe will leave office with 50 plus years of graft …………… and not a single accomplishment for the American people. What a legacy!
FJB
80 million “voters” in America must not expect any accomplishments and are not being disappointed now!
Germany gets more than 50% of its coal from…. Russia!
Nordstream 2 is ready and waiting. Peace with Russia. I lived a fine life but my grandchildren are only starting theirs. The Department of State, Mrs. Victoria Nuland-Kagan, CIA and Washington Post should stop with the wardrums. No more elective wars.
How ’bout no more Ukie-puke nationals, dual passport holders, and second-generation Ukie-puke Russia haters permitted in our government? Chalupa, Noodelman, the Vindmans, the list goes on and on. How many other foreign nations have that many highly placed recent immigrants or children of immigrants in our nation’s government? How many of those foreign nations supply the amount of corrupt grift and kickbacks to American pols as Ukraine does? NONE.
Kick out Ukrainian and Ukrainian descended people from our government. Kick out any pol who has used Ukraine and her people for corrupt grift and kickbacks. Divorce Ukraine forever.
Our very stable genius shows them the truth they wanted to hide from.
Hahaha. What will Frauline Greta say? “How dare you! How dare you!” Hahaha
I did not know that coal was cleaner than gas. In fact I thought is was worse. Maybe I am wrong.
with scrubber beds on the fuel feed and precipitators on the exhaust, modern coal-burning plants are very clean
Those classifiers pull out some very useful items for industry, too. Maybe the West can go back to making its own wallboard now? Gypsum is a by-product pulled out by classifiers.
Thank you for the info.
So they are going to temporarily ignore their glowbull warming efforts to save the planet instead of finding a peaceful solution to the Ukrainian situation and risk another world war. Sanity is nowhere to be seen.
I’ve been led to believe that nothing is more important to the planet’s survival that clean renewable energy.
Nothing is more important than the existential threat of overheating the planet through continued use of fossil fuels.
Now do you mean to tell me that the issue of Ukrainian sovereignty is more important, and that in order to support Ukraine border and cultural integrity fossil fuels can be acceptable?
I find this hard to believe.
When viewing this German change in energy policy one should note the urgency and need based upon future forecasts.
Yes, Russia will be isolated by the West for some time even after taking lands in Ukraine.
1.5 billion people have sanctioned Russia. 4.5 billion have not.
This is a currency war, plain and simple. Apparently, even green issues take a back seat to currency.
So buckle up for what’s coming.
…and again by your math 2B people have NO economy
2 billion have no dog in the hunt.
As always, the Hochdeutsch must be humiliated before they can accept the reality. So arrogant these people are. Germany can admit now PDJT was 100% correct. The next President, be it PDJT or DeSantis, must seriously look at getting America to backup on NATO commitments with new conditions. The Germans are more interested in leading the EU.
At least they are doing this prior to running out and people freezing to death next winter.
President Trump told us EVERYTHING we needed to help our country and what are they doing?? DESTROYING EVERYTHING!! PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE BEST, SMARTEST MAN IN YEARS AS PRESIDENT BUT LOOK WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON BECAUSE OF THE HATE AND GREED AND JEALOUSY FROM THESE GDAMN DEMONCRATES!!!! GOD PLEASE HELP US!!!
Hi Edie,
The fun part is that what you think you can see is only what they allow you to see –or they cannot shield you from seeing.
There is more to play; lots of money being exchanged amongst thieves.
Meanwhile, they gaslight the masses to motivate them in one way, and then in another…whatever will suit the needs of the elite.
Ahahahaha…..Greta, GFY. Bwahahaha….
President Trump has been proven right so many times that I’ve lost count by now! Just goes to show who is doing what they can for the people of their nation, rather than the globalist death cult that wants to destroy the people of this planet, and the planet itself.
Everything “they” do is destructive.
Where is all of this coal coming from? lmao!
And the stupid liberal Germans laughed at POTUS’ remarks.
Reminds me of when LIBS say, ‘The Professionals are back in charge.”
Right. Professional F-Ups with no answer to the problems their policies create.
My son laughs when people call themselves “professionals.” He comes back with “Yeah. Professional F*ing Idiots.”
Gen. Kelly felt the need to roll his head around and clean his ears.
Ick!
He so desperately wished that he wasn’t there.
“Speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act.” –George Orwell
Pres. Trump was lightin’ em up!
The others were rather uncomfortable, too, but kept better composure (U.S. NATO Representative Kay Bailey Hutchison).
So many of the macho men turned out to be weenies.
Can’t they just run unicorns on treadmills to generate power? Mayor Pete was talking about that at a pride parade recently.
Can they turn pillow-biting into energy generation? Did Mommy “Chest-feeder” Peetey address that?
It appears to me that the three American dolts in the video with President Trump aren’t in agreement based on their body language. They appear almost embarrassed, at least to me, that President Trump is putting America first! IMHO
Do not expect that once taking advantage of Russia’s weakness, you will receive dividends forever. Russian has always come for their money. And when they come – do not rely on an agreement signed by you, you are supposed to justify. They are not worth the paper it is written. Therefore, with the Russian is to play fair, or do not play.

You Fell for China’s (Green Energy & COVID) Propaganda – Xi is Tickled Pink!
24 Jun 2022
When the wall came down between East and West Germany, East Germany had tons of coal refineries for brown coal. They were sold and shipped part by part to – you guessed it- China.
All this mumbo jumbo green stuff is really just shifting the dirty parts of energy capture from one country to another. You close one mine in one place- another has to pop up elsewhere. Only the elites hope to generate taxes and get kick backs in the process.
Hilariously Evil.
Russia better watch out or we will sanction ourselves out of Existence.
Most German cars run on diesel, not gas. Diesel releases many more large particulates in air and is worse for pollution, but don’t tell that to a German- they are in deep denial about this, because German media has told them otherwise.
Yes, a serious flaw among Germans –not the diesel, the blindness. Shared by some other advanced cultures in Asia as well. The desire for authority and order at the expense of individual thought is an important feature of that belief system.
The US once boasted order and individuality. I was lucky enough to have lived some of my life during that time. Now of course we no longer have either so we are collapsing – as we should. Strangely, I don’t see that young people in America care, so to paraphrase Mencken, they’re going to get what they asked for–good and hard.

When pragmatism meets idealism and wins you know government officials are hunkering down.
For what??
Wonder what EU has to say about Germany going back to coal? Lol.
We are now in the “Great Reset”.
For those watching it’s more like “protecting my own”.
That sounds like a good idea until you remember that you made coal mining ILLEGAL, and fired all the coal miners.
The gas storage tanks must be full in winter. That has top priority, ”said Habeck

Hahaha, du bist funny! 😛
God forbid the resurrection of the horrid fossil fuels as a viable energy source. Building coal power plants and then renting ships to store LNG as an interim to building ports ports with LNG terminals instead of solar panels and wind turbines tells you all you need to know about the hoax of sustainable green energy. Very surprised that all the environmental wackos aren’t coming out of the woodwork screaming bloody hell about this decision. Oh, but that only applies to the US, who the globalists view as their primary obstacle in the way of them accomplishing total control of the worldwide economy.
How many years will it take for Germany to restore coal-fired plants? The workers, designers, engineers, etc. are long gone and some no longer living. Will bureaucrats re-certify them in a timely manner?
The same question may be asked about re-starting nuclear plants. Also, where will the fuel come from?
Lastly, how many years would it take to build ports and decompression plants for LNG.
Apparently the end of the world doesn’t have to happen via nuclear bombs. We are dismantling civilization piece by piece.
In with a bang, out with a whimper.
The stupidity of the over educated “Green” Germans.
Most ironic and stupid, they shut down truly green nuclear power plants after Japan’s errors with Fukushima.
So they won’t use the cleanest energy, they’ll use the most dirty (coal).
FTR, Germany has been strongly developing “green” energy… for over 22 years!
Germany needs to lift sanctions on Russia. This is just a self-inflicted wound.
Trump was right…again.
That doggone Trump waving his magic wand and checking his crystal ball meanwhile sending out mean tweets working for free and predicting the future…….
Nice watching the video with conman Mike Pompeo sitting next to Trump, pretending to be an ally.
In any event, even with Trump, this idea that Russia is some kind of bogeymen is preposterous. Because of the western governments apparent hatred of Russia, they are destroying the EU. NATO is not a’ defensive’ organization, but aggressive. And the west totally underestimated the economy of Russia, as well as the intelligence of their leaders. We are being ruined by western ideologues.
Germany has been forced to awaken to the realities of genuine science, politics, and real-world economics. They chose poorly despite warnings.
The German minister is very cavalier about the switch over of gas to coal. I guess he thinks you just close the gas valve and fill a hopper up with coal throw a switch and voila! the lights go on.
He specifically said “coal-fired plants will have to be used more”.
You must have missed that.
