The financial pundits are slowly starting to drop the pretending and discuss the bigger economic picture. However, as they tread very carefully, they are being very cautious about admitting too much.
A Reuters discussion of the comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, starts to dip the media toe in the painful pool; yet they will not admit the Biden energy program is the source of the inflation Powell is targeting with his policy moves to shrink energy demand. Thus, the pretending continues.
If you take the written words and extract the parseltongue, you can see a more fulsome picture of what is being outlined.
JACKSON HOLE, Wyo., Aug 29 (Reuters) – The message from the world’s top finance chiefs is loud and clear: rampant inflation is here to stay and taming it will take an extraordinary effort, most likely a recession with job losses and shockwaves through emerging markets.
That price is still worth paying, however. Central banks spent decades building their credibility on inflation fighting skills and losing this battle could shake the foundations of modern monetary policy.
In other words, the U.S. economy is based on core U.S. energy systems and moving that construct to alternative energy, windmills, electric vehicles and solar panels; along with getting Americans to accept a lowered standard of living; is an “extraordinary effort.”
Yes, they are ‘all-in’ and if they lose “this battle,” the core foundations of modern monetary policy will “shake” along with the economic collapse that follows. The economic energy “transition” is the Biden policy, the federal reserve is trying to support that policy by lowering economic demand.
Yes, they also now admit that people will lose their jobs, their livelihoods and the foundation of their economic stability in the process.
[…] “Regaining and preserving trust requires us to bring inflation back to target quickly,” European Central Bank board member Isabel Schnabel said. “The longer inflation stays high, the greater the risk that the public will lose confidence in our determination and ability to preserve purchasing power.”
Banks should also keep going even if growth suffers and people start to lose their jobs. “Even if we enter a recession, we have basically little choice but to continue our policy path,” Schnabel said. “If there were a deanchoring of inflation expectations, the effect on the economy would be even worse.”
[Energy inflation, the root of all supply side inflation] “is near double-digit territory in many of the world’s biggest economies, a level not seen in close to a half century.”
[…] Deglobalisation, the realignment of alliances due to Russia’s war, demographic changes and more expensive production in emerging markets could all make supply constraints more permanent. (read more)
Yes, the “realignment global of alliances,” as an outcome of the western world policy to fracture global markets based on energy use. Notice they are now starting to admit what we have discussed here for over a year?
“The global economy seems to be on the cusp of a historic change as many of the aggregate supply tailwinds that have kept a lid on inflation look set to turn into headwinds,” Agustín Carstens, the head of the Bank of International Settlements, said.
“If so, the recent pickup in inflationary pressures may prove to be more persistent,” said Carstens, who heads a group often called the central bank of the world’s central banks.
All this points to rapid interest rates hikes, led by the Fed with the ECB now trying to catch up, and elevated rates for years to come. (read more)
Indeed, we are only now on the front side “cusp” of the transition which will force the continued lowering of economic activity within the aligned nations for more than a generation or two. All economic activity, essentially all human activity, will have to be stalled and reduced until the levels of sustainable energy production can catch up to the levels of energy needed for the now smaller economy.
With current estimations of 50+ years before sustainable energy can generate 25 to 50 percent of the need, this is going to take a long time, and the bankers & financial control agents are going to have to simultaneously make the economies of the allied nations much smaller.
The planned energy oven is small, the size of the economic pizza must be shrunk in order to fit within it.
My last and important point is this…. The multinational corporations, banks and global finance folks, do not enter into these situations without a carefully planned way to retain their own wealth. The job of a “hedge fund manager” is described in the title, to find a “hedge” against risk to continue increasing wealth.
The billionaire elites that have assembled their wealth on the old economic system will not trust anything to chance as this global cleaving of the world economy takes place. Being reactionary is not how they operate. These groups pre-stage their wealth and assets outside the zone of collateral damage. They are proactive, not reactive to these global financial events.
With the foundation of the western economic system now being changed, look carefully at the political landscape to see what Wall Street risk mitigation maneuvers are taking place. My very strong hunch on this wealth preservation facet leads me back to domestic politics, and suddenly things make sense. I’m not wrong. I am open to being wrong, but I’m not wrong.

If you want some smoke blown up your ass just look at “how the Inflation Reduction Act impacts Americans by the numbers:”! Unbelievable bullshit!

“Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.”

Yes, one event not planned for by “our betters”/s in the swamp…
Solar panels, we better rethink that one!
I haven’t seen much written on this–are the solar panels, batteries and wind turbines biodegradeable? If not, what happens to them when they break or are no longer working? Do we just have them dumped on the yard of Congress?
They’ll find everyone whose ancestors voted for PDJT and make them store them in their backyards.
Ancestors? That crap is failing within 1 to 20 years. We don’t haven to wait util the future.
You haven’t? Its all over, and not contested.
Short answer NO, NONE of it is recyclable, its land fill for all of it.
It takes 100+
years of raw materials, petro, maintenance etc to get a return on a single windmill. Even 700 gallons of oil needing replaced to keep it functional per spec says it is NOT sustainable.
Madness.
Don’t forget all the eagles and other birds sliced and diced by these.
Batteries can (in most cases) be rebuilt. Solar panels and wind turbines are prime candidates for landfills. Fiberglass does not break down very fast – if at all. Look at the yuuge number of 1950s – 1960s runabout boats still on the water.
I recently read an article that wind turbine blades could be recycled into gummies – yes, non-food stuff that they want you to fill your body with so that you will die sooner….population reduction.
I also read that wind turbine blades could be recycled for building roads or houses, but the person reviewing that suggestion said that the energy it would take would make it cost-prohibitive.
Um, the issue was the possibility of making the blades out of material that could then be turned into Gummies. They’re NOT doing it now; no way, no how. And likely can never. And will never be within the foreseeable future.
But generally, yes, as you note, the blades are forever. NOT “green,” not “environmentally friendly,” but a forever disaster.
But they are great for reducing our CO2 spewing bird population.
And bats!
And hey, they make great fly swatters! 😉

Leftists never think that far ahead. Never.
They say they do, but they confuse drug-induced hallucinations with actual thinking.
Choom Gang
Major toxic waste to dispose of turbine blades, dead batteries and busted panels. A guy called in to local talk radio to discuss his efforts to go green during the Obama years and take advantage the government rebate. He said the effectiveness of the solar panels degraded over time and were functioning at 50% now. He said if he knew that he never would’ve gone to the trouble.
One of thousands of EV graveyards around the world where no one can afford a Tesla but gets an EV minicar that is not worth replacing the toxic battery when they inevitably go bad. The carcasses cannot be crushed or recycled due to the toxic batteries so they are “hidden” usually in poor rural areas where locals do not understand the situation and land is relatively cheap.
I can answer that. No, they are not recyclable and they are not biodegradeable. They go to a landfill after about 5 years (they aren’t in service long enough to pay for themselves) and then other rubbish is piled on top of them.
I live in Central OK where there are wind farms all over the places. Very impressive in size, however, if the energy company did not subsidize them, they could not run.
Makes no sense at all. Use our oil and gas resources to subsidize wind and solar that cannot produce and will require replacement in a few short years.
Oh, and by the way, the wind farms don’t function when there is no wind, and solar doesn’t work when there is no sun. When it is freezing out and you need heat the most, helicopters are used to spray deicing agents on the blades so they will turn.
Now what genius came up with that idea?
How do those things work out in “Tornado Alley” – it seems it would be pretty dangerous to have those flying all over the place – the ultimate wind for generating electricity but I wonder how many of them get busticated during tornado season?
I read somewhere that the wind turbines last about 20 years, I think, give or take.
Have you seen the massive trenches being dug in Europe just to bury the used windmill blades that are not recyclable and cannot go in normal landfills?
Sheer madness… of the genuine, diagnosable, measurable variety.
Why are we – in the West – allowing ourselves to be railroaded by quantifiable lunatics?
Sheep being led into the slaughter house don’t get to vote NO, and save themselves.
Will we step up to defend ourselves against this real Madness? Or are we prepared to tacitly accept the fate others have in store for us?
I don’t know the math on those but how much energy do 950m solar panels and 120k wind turbines actually produce? And how many birds will they kill?
They can not produce that many, even if they could its not enough, and every electric car increases what they would need.
The WHOLE THING is a SCAM, it is NOT merely not “sustainable” it is not Doable!
That’s why they plan to decrease the population by a few billion.. you know.. so that there are fewer people to use the scarce resources.
Which comes first? The genocide or the scarcity of energy sources?
In truth obliterating the Godzilla carbon footprints of these jet setting globalist vermin would greatly reduce green house gases and stopping immigration. But saving the environment is not what this is about as I know you know. Regards Judith.
I do not understand why the good, beautiful people of Switzerland tolerate the likes of Klaus Schwab in their midst . . .
everything that he and his WEF acolytes promote is anti-freedom, anti-sovereignty –
this bozo back in the early 1970’s was sounding the alarm about banking privacy being invaded with computers but we have seen in recent years that Schwab and his adherents have been promoting total invasions of privacy in banking. What we saw happen in Canada under Trudeau and Freelander was outright horrifying and they represent the “best” of the WEF.
In Switzerland, if I understand correctly, the banker-client relationship is sacrosanct, like the doctor-patient, atttorney-client, priest/confessor-parishioner/penitent relationships
why should any of the people who entrust their millions to a Swiss banker actually have much confidence when they have Klaus Schwab raising up people – so proudly – to fill the cabinets of various governments and then proceed to enact policies which are injurious to privacy, sovereignty?
They ought to throw out that bum and all of his Davos BS-enablers.
I don’t think personally that Klaus Schwab is all that brilliant but somehow found backers from the PRC/CCP who have been using him to foster and train people in eventually converting those cabinets into readiness for totalitarian governance . . .
just as I think George Soros is also a bagman financed by the PRC/CCP, tasked to create turmoil everywhere he goes to “soften the ground”. I don’t think he is actually all that brilliant either or exceptional but you can do a lot of things when you are willing to do anything . . . . never heeding any phrase like “just because you CAN doesn’t mean you SHOULD”.
Both and much more at the same time. Collapse the system—Cloward and Piven. Our enemies have repeatedly told us their plans but most of us have been just “too busy” to listen, much less care enough to push back.
They’re probably going to flip a coin to answer your question.
I saw a study which I think I posted here a while ago that actually cost of putting Charging stations everywhere and it was outrageous and unworkable. Most of these criminal clowns are also looking to cash in like David Blood & Al “The Green Groper” Gore who was basically Clinton’s bagboy picking up illegal campaign contributions from the communist chinese to help steal the primaries & elections of 1996 and the treasonous tech & trade deals
The big electric utility in California said yesterday it could not provide enough power to charge all the EVs if our mortal enemies persist in switching entirely to EVs in the next decade or so.
They plan to make private car ownership a thing of the past either through shame (Greta “How dare you!”) or scarcity of energy resources. Push everyone to use public transportation/buy local/where they’re easier to control.
It’s the antithesis of the American Car Culture not found in most parts of the World & it screams “Freedom” to do/go as I want whenever I choose.
Look up the Web site, WUWT. All things dealing with the facts and the real science of all this.
An article from a few days ago dealt exactly with that question. Upshot is it’s impossible to produce through wind and solar what even a minimum of the world’s population needs to have any kind of modern and reliable standard of living above the cave and lean-to.
Excellent resource!
Um, and “WUWT” stands for “What’s Up With That?” Sorry for the partial info. Hope this helps.
Watts Up With That.
One problem is the batteries. It’s not just what the solar panels and wind turbines can produce but the size of the batteries that can hold and transfer that energy and how long they can store and transfer energy.
Waiting for someone to show me the plans for a “grid-scale battery plant” … unless they’re referring to the lighting grid for an HO train layout.
How about a big up their azz. Not sure how much more Americans will take of the globalist WEF leftist bull shit, but a heavily armed population with little to lose is going to be very dangerous to these evil pieces of garbage
lol, smoke blown up your ass, thanks, needed that chuckle !
So, there’s a recent story in the Oregonian about a blade from a negligently maintained Portland G&E wind turbine farm near The Dalles snapping off (a blade weighs around 7 tons) and flying about 100 yards. No one was injured, nothing damaged, sort of a gigantic extension of mumblety-peg. Search for it if you can while the story is still up. When the ultra-liberal Oregonian reports something like this, that itself is news.
Here’s the nub: traditional utility ratemaking permits utilities to recover 100% of their maintenance costs. Either PGE tried to save money by not maintaining its turbine farm or (my bet) Oregon’s PUC staff refused to allow PGE to include its proposed maintenance costs in its consumer utility rates. Why would the PUC do such a thing? Why to make retail power consumers think that green energy wouldn’t cost any more to maintain than fossil fuel generation plants, of course.
They keep telling us going to green energy creates jobs. Sure, after startup construction, wind/solar/battery farms hire grounds keepers and somebody to oil the machinery. That’s about all.
Exactly all 120,000 windmills and 950 million solar panels will be made in China! I call the Inflation Reduction Act the Full Employment Act of China!! All we’ll do is transport, install and maintain them. They are an ecological time bomb and will be very destructive to the environment and very expensive to dismantle and recycle!!!
I listened to a number of “economists” today. Even they cannot admit that this is a managed and forced collapse. They keep drawing on “history” to describe what is happening now. There’s no such thing in our history, where our country bows to powerful people outside of our country, foreign powers, globalists, dare I say Satan, and where our leaders are taking over rather than representing us. They’ve decided that they don’t need no stinkin’ people to represent. They are just going to bulldoze over all of us, ruin lives, starve children… all the things we worked our entire lives to put together for our families. It’s some sort of cult to pretend to worship Mother Earth over her Inhabitants. Mother Earth can be a cruel teacher. In the end, they don’t win. In the meantime, I prefer to see what’s coming down the pike than remain ignorant.
Thank you Sundance.
Thee and me, BFAW, no matter how bad it is…and it is. There’s no currency in ignorance.
For market watchers and market participants:
This is a great video featuring people who run family investment firms/private equity and are miles from mainstream financial media.
Pay special attention to Michael Belkin who advises some of the largest sovereign wealth funds
Michael starts at 40:55 min. The whole video is worth a listen.
If you click on”show more” you will see who is on the video ( clip it and put them in your twitter feed if you are on twitter )
On Bitchute (probably on Rumble and Odysee too; dunno) find the channel that has created videos called “The Fall of the Cabal.” There are ten parts initially, made before COVID madness really kicked in. Don’t pay attention to them. Skip to “The Sequel,” a 24-Part series. All the videos are PACKED with information and documentation; they average about 30 minutes each. You will learn what you never wanted to learn, and understand much more clearly what you never wanted to understand.
The series isn’t finished. There’s so much in-depth research involved that the 25th Part hasn’t been posted yet. But you will understand why.
And there are likely more than just the 25th to come.
We don’t have very long to get out of this. There’s still a chance, a window, but it’s closing.
Best to you and yours.
Took your advice just to chk, now deep into this absolute detailed info series- brings it together- knowledge is power, but what a historical lead they have!

So that means Titan had Dinosaurs! Petroleum is supped to be from “Fossil Fuel”. So Titan was a Jurassic Park Moon!
New energy source? This tiny moon circling Saturn has more oil and gas than Earth
https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/energy/2017/12/05/new-energy-source-tiny-moon-circling-saturn-has-more-oil-and-gas-than-earth/920299001/
Here’s Col. Fletcher Prouty telling the truth about how they came up with term “fossil fuels” (for those with the time to listen, I highly recommend listening to more of Col Fletcher Prouty–he was a witness to many key historical events)
And this book apparently talks about the abiotic theory of oil:
https://thedukereport.com/books/the-deep-hot-biosphere-the-myth-of-fossil-fuels/ (more videos at the link)
“Thomas Gold is a physicist who is not afraid of controversy. … His big new theory … is that oil and natural gas are produced by geology and chemistry of the hot deep layers below the Earth’s surface … . The book is the best kind of science writing: contentious and passionate, with all the evidence there for you to weigh up.” (New Scientist, August, 2001)
Abiotic petroleum is no “theory”……the Germans discovered it pre WWII and the Russians have been exploiting it ever since……anyone who claims anything different is either ignorant or a liar
Thank you, Amanda for this excellent video!
Glad you enjoyed the video. As I said above, Colonel Fletcher Prouty had an amazing career and he was truly an eye-witness to history, and some of what he witnessed, never made it into the history books. For anyone with the time, I found this interview especially interesting-he truly seemed to understand that events were orchestrated and that the agenda was already set decades in advance of when events actually occurred. And they refer to him as “The Real Mr. X” because I think there was a character “Mr. X” in Oliver Stone’s JFK film and that character was based on Col Fletcher Prouty.
The Real “Mr. X”: Colonel Fletcher Prouty Interview by EIR
This 1992 interview has excellent insights into the ongoing fight against oligarchy that we are involved in. Colonel Prouty gives us a look at the inner workings of the US intelligence community from the inside. If you don’t have time to read his book, “The Secret Team: The CIA And Its Allies In Control Of The World,” watch this video. His description of the period after WWII leading into the Vietnam War is critical for Americans to understand
Ty for the excellent videos.
Defines Deep State!
Hydrocarbons have been witnessed in free space.
They are a part of the materials that accreted to create earth.
This reality is utterly paradigm shredding and I cannot recommend the man’s book highly enough.
The Deep Hot Biosphere.
They call it “Fossil Fuels” to make the masses believe it is “finite”
Early oil finds in the US were in Pennsylvania (Colonel Drake et al). The oil was running on top of streams in the Allegheny mountains; it had been an annoyance to native Americans for decades prior to wypipo learning how to exploit it.
IMO, coal may be a true “fossil fuel”, but oil is manufacutred 24/7/365 by the earth’s mantle. I suggest it is one of the many gifts the Lord gave His children as part of general revelation.
Oil and dogs.
Fuel from earth and friends from wolves.
Heavenly gifts indeed.
Beer too
Great one. You ever see Alpha the movie?
I have not.
Just looked it, will get it soon.
Domestication of animals is fascinating. There are species that once adapted to human companionship are a treasure of genetic diversity and usefulness.
Dogs, horses, chickens, cattle which were once massive dangerous aurochs, suddenly become piebald, colors and sizes and shapes and characteristics never seen in nature, and human companionship was the key.
Some species cannot be domesticated, Africans have never ridden zebras for example, and while they have their uses and are a vital part of our world, they were never intended to be our close companions.
I don’t see any of that as a sign of distortion of nature as the nihilists would have us see it, I see it as gifts from God to humanity. Modern dogs are not a re-expression of once current patterns in nature, they were never expressed in nature, they were locked away in the genes of wolves waiting for us to arrive and embrace them.
The domestication of foxes experiments conducted in Russia are amazing and worth a peek.
You’ll enjoy the movie.
My vet gave a copy of this to me when I had to put my friend to sleep. Everyone loved my dog. She was the best.
The Power of the Dog
There is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day;
And when we are certain of sorrow in store,
Why do we always arrange for more?
Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware
Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.
Buy a pup and your money will buy
Love unflinching that cannot lie—
Perfect passion and worship fed
By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head.
Nevertheless it is hardly fair
To risk your heart for a dog to tear.
When the fourteen years which Nature permits
Are closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits,
And the vet’s unspoken prescription runs
To lethal chambers or loaded guns,
Then you will find—it’s your own affair—
But… you’ve given your heart to a dog to tear.
When the body that lived at your single will,
With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!).
When the spirit that answered your every mood
Is gone—wherever it goes—for good,
You will discover how much you care,
And will give your heart to a dog to tear.
We’ve sorrow enough in the natural way,
When it comes to burying Christian clay.
Our loves are not given, but only lent,
At compound interest of cent per cent.
Though it is not always the case, I believe,
That the longer we’ve kept ’em, the more do we grieve:
For, when debts are payable, right or wrong,
A short-time loan is as bad as a long—
So why in—Heaven (before we are there)
Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?
Rudyard Kipling – 1865-1936
Merveille!
Excellent! Thank you!
Wow, very interesting info on early oil finds.
I agree with your suggestion that it is one of the many gifts the Lord gave his children. Unfortunately, we are up against Luciferians (Satanic psychopaths?) who want to take it all away and force windmills and solar panels on us, so they can kill off billions.
Like in the movie & Dune books show, who controls the Spice controls the Universe. If there is cheap and abundant fuel(Spice) they cannot control us. Thus when inventors come along with real alt energy they are suppressed/murdered. reminds of the movie “Antitrust” which the corporation was doing to competitors with the added benefit of blaming it on “White Supremacists”. It’s a bit dated but really was an early movie exposing the surveillance state & that pos Gates
How many tens of thousands gallons of propane was it that the Obamas purchased for their northernmost home?
Or was it LNG?
Can’t remember. I try to forget those people.
Propane.
2500 gallons.
Just in case. *wink wink*
That’s what my Paleobiology professor told the class
good catch, there were no dinos on titan yet it has seas of fuels of some sort. Our so called scientists are still sticking behind the “fossil” fuel angle by saying it was plankton and sea water which would suggest Titan also has some small life and sea water to produce such things. I’m not buying it, but the “SCIENCE” freaks just keep changing the so called science and pretend to be experts in the field.
While real scientists have served us well we have to be cautious about the fact science claimers like Fauci and such that hide behind the word “science” in order to forward political agendas.
Agenda seekers like those show their true colors when they claim the science is settled and they cant be wrong because they are “science!” Science can never be settled because science is an accumulation of theories that are constantly questioned and tested for flaws. Science evolves as questions become more and more and new facts appear as we learn more.
I like your premise though. Some say we would be better suited to colonize Titan than Mars because of the conditions and resources. There’s a paper out there on the search engines if you are interested.
Ty for the add. My paleobiology teacher told the class that Petroleum was a plate lubricant that the plates ride on and is produced by the earth
Appreciate you friend.
Read The Deep Hot Biosphere and learn the impact of hydrocarbons that have been with us from the beginning.
From metal deposits to earthquakes to life itself, it’s a stunning read.
Speaking of earthquakes, reducing pressures from natural gas and lubricity from oil via exploitation would tend to reduce tremblors, n’est-ce pas? But Green Zombies claim that oil production worsens them.
🤪
You don’t even have to buy the book. Here it is:
https://archive.org/details/deephotbiosphere0000gold
I always buy the book.
Paper isn’t forever, but not as easily perishable as are pixels.
Yes, and I have tons of them. I am contemplating reading my copy of “Fire In the Minds Of Men” which I bought a long time ago based on Dr Montieth recommendation but never found the time.
That looks like a worthy read, just added it to my short list.
If they truly had anything like the absolute control the defeatists insist they do,….they would not CARE.
THEY DO NOT have such absolute control.
It is an ILLUSION, they are hoping like hell we won’t notice.
Just like their fake version of reality, truth and history. They are criminal evil frauds.
BINGO!
If you don’t want corrupt goons passing laws that make themselves richer & more powerful at your expense then, yes, morality DOES matter.
How bout mortality “theirs” matters.
Even the progs will revolt against the politburo when they are told to do without.
Or they will accept the targeting instructions given them and turn against us.
Just because the gloves come off at some point doesn’t mean the lights will go on.
Exactly. Those left without a chair when the music stops will fight their neighbors before they will fight the machine that created this problem.
Divide and conquer is a great strategy and it’s used often. If only we could unite to foil their plans against us.
I have to rant on this discussion about green energy. I am a conservative first and foremost and that’s just not politically, It’s a way of life for me. I will conserve both politically and ecologically. I often get frustrated enough to say a bunch of swear words over left wing nutjobs claiming they are for the environment and green and all the key words, but what they propose only makes the world more dirty and toxic. I will try to keep my rant short, but it’s going to be a struggle.
Beyond the common sense of it still takes oil in some form to charge all the batteries, what the heck are you going to do with all the dead batteries? There is going to be some toxic waste dump for them. Besides that, you still need oil to produce the components to make the batteries. Plastic does not make itself.
I have researched this stuff for 15 years in hopes there would be a way to go more green and I found a way for all of us to go more green if we wanted to.
Did you know there’s a kit you could buy for any car, truck, or van to swap your vehicle from gas or diesel to NG or Lng or CNG that reduces your carbon footprint about half? I dont want you to believe me, I want you to look that up. Hell even UPS is testing a CNG fleet of Semi trucks. Ever seen that powerful forklift in your big box hardware store running off what looked to be a propane tank?
Not only can you get a cleaner green energy from natural gas in various forms, some have fears we cant run our war machines from cleaner energy, but we can. Not only can nuclear subs and air craft carriers produce their own energy and make clean water from sea water, they can also make Jet fuel from sea water in certain locations. Again I dont want you to take my word, its better that all of us educate ourselves, but I’ll provide a link for that one. https://news.engineering.pitt.edu/engineering-catalysts-that-turn-seawater-into-fuel/
I have very much wanted solar panels to be a solution to my green energy ambitions, but the math simply does not work over the 15 years I’ve been researching how to reduce a carbon footprint. My point is, if our government really wanted to reduce our carbon footprint right now because global warming is a serious threat to society then they would be giving tax credits and rebates for conversion kits to existing vehicles so that gas and diesel vehicles would run off a natural gas of some sort. It would be an instant solve instead of a 30 year pipe dream of convincing china and russia to go solar and wind. We could have an impact tomorrow if our government was serious about it.
Rant over. I do have more to say but this is getting too long. The point is, if any of those greenies were serious about reducing a carbon footprint, we already have the tech to do that on every motor vehicle on the planet by converting them to NG while we wait on a solar solution to be more economical. It’s not about the planet though, it’s about control and that’s why you never hear about this stuff that can be done now in an economical way
Rants are good, they let out energies. This desire to be “green” is a “buy-in” much like a poker game. There is a table, you like what you see and hear at that table and want to be a part of it. Only issue you may not consider prior to joining that table is that you may lose everything you have.
In other words, start reading the thoughts of Buckminster Fuller if you really want to understand what the real priorities are regarding our planet and those attending directions to becoming a better steward of this planet. Most have forgotten Fuller’s writings, especially those who started Earth Day in the early 70s. They have sold you on fear and offer only the stick to bring you into obedience for their games. Do you like the taste of the whip?
They do not want you to have EV they want you to have nothing…..the green new deal , GW, is a hoax and excuse to restructure economies DEBT….THEIR DEBT….The bills are coming due and they don’t have the MONEY. Now you can stop worrying about living green.
The truth of your arguments about LNG-powered vehicles is seen in the fleets of most propane companies’ trucks: Around here they are all LNG-powered, and have been for many a year.
As you note, we can use electricity to create energy dense easily transportable, stablely storable liquid fuels.
These would use carbon and hydrogen directly from the active biosphere with a net carbon of zero, though personally I want to see atmospheric carbon increased several fold as life needs to recover from geologic carbon sequestration.
While I am not opposed to energy producing rooftops and the like, fission and fusion are the only and best ways to create a future of clean abundance, and we can create clean liquid fuels with them.
We have enough hydrocarbons for several centuries and easily enough to see us through to a fission/fusion powered world.
Only evil and greed stand in our way.
Great thoughts M.
I liked what this reviewer said about the cartoon.

Superman is the enemy is this episode, TESLA was the real Hero and always will be ‘so first they try to make the world forget his name & now are presenting him as a bad person’ where is this world going?
Superman vs Nikola Tesla (The Mad Scientist)
If you could have a time machine and save either the Library of Alexandria or Nicola Tesla, which would you choose?
I consider those that destroyed ancient libraries from Egypt to India the lowest of humanity, but those that destroyed Tesla and left us with but a fraction of his genius which they exploit are worse.
Excellent points and I agree wholeheartedly. I always wondered what the Conquistadors destroyed of the Inca & Maya’s as well as your points. And the knowledge of the Druids.
I would get a friend and while I went to save the Library, they could save Tesla.
Best of all worlds….
I am a naturalist. I actually love what these watermelons claim to want to protect but don’t. Your excellent post is spot on. There have been people like Tesla & others who have come up with alternative free energy and they have been suppressed. Why? Because they cannot control and profit from it.
Now I come at this Globull Warming/Carbon Taxes from a different angle than you my friend. I use their own “facts” against them. Environmental Science 101: Human population growth is the #1 factor for environmental degradation, increased green house gases, pollution and wildlife habitat/natural resources depletion. Human population growth is driven exclusively by immigration. If immigration was stopped, (and deportations) Green House Gases, Pollution, would drop, there would be less development of open spaces, more wildlife, less strain on our resources like Water/Natural Gas/Petroleum, less hazardous waste, less waste etc
So the fact that the proponents/charlatans/Corporate owned “Scientsits/Computer modeling charlatans/so called “environmental organizations etc never advocate for stopping immigration (and deporting) exposes them using their own facts and science against them. To me this is their Achilles Heel and has gotten me many a “Deer In The Headlight” looks from lower level “Enviironmentalists”. Occasionally I will get a “You are right I never thought of that”.
I appreciate your common sense wisdom and your drive to research and find genuine alternatives yourself. I always believed that in truth those like me & you are the tried and true “Environmentalists”. Regards
Don’t forget wind turbines use about 80 gallons of oil per year.
Our only hope is that America First deplorables hijack their evil plan. This is murder on a global scale, plain and simple. Speaking of scale, they have no way to scale this “economic shrinkage” even with their fancy AI capabilities. They will lose control and it will be dissaterous. Thes people need to be locked up before they commit mass global murder.
What is their plan for elections? They sure can’t pull this off with fair, honest elections. That tells us that 2020 was just a test run and warm up for what is to come. They also cannot pull this off following the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. They are declaring war on the proles of the world. They are outnumbered and their armies will eventually turn on them. Revolution coming.
I agree they can not, they are not able to control the collapse of an empire.
Sure, It can be made to fall just keep knocking down the support and yes it will collapse. But they have absolutely no way to control that fall it’s beyond them.
The left are the all time masters of ruin and destruction but clueless concerning anything profitable.
If they do succeed or should I say if let do them destroy our world. There’s is no way to predict how catastrophic this maybe.
Right now they are confident they have made all the arrangements for safety but they don’t how this bomb gonna explode.
I have to admit that at times I get sick to my stomach with nausia when I read and pray and think. Sometimes i just want to throw up from anxiety.
I’ve been at this game for a long time. Sometimes you need to step back and watch or read some escapism. Or mediate/pray. Or if your of the mind, channel your knowledge & drive into constructive opposition of them the enemies of all life on this planet.
It can overwhelm you if you let it.
you and me both. I grieve at time because I have no grandchildren, however I am thankful as well. They will not have to suffer
Just now I had written to my sister that I wish I could save my nephews from the terrible years we are headed in to. They will suffer the most and it hurts me a lot because there is nothing I can do to save them.
I maintain the 2020 steal was like the Trojan horse;
It was a DESPERATION play, like a “hail mary pass”; the guys who built the horse had Lost the War, remember.
And, it was a ONE TIME trick, that would never work a second time.
The difference between the Trojan horse and the steal; with the horse ploy, they SLAUGHTERED everyone.
WE are still here, and IF we fight it, they CAN NOT pull off the Steal, again.
it was a!”one trick pony”.
“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
And after [going through] all [that evil tribulation], to stand.
Also, Luke 18:8
Anyone watching these news shows has been brainwashed. Funny thing it works. Now they have to cheat to overcome the enormous opposition that refuses to buy in on this propaganda. Ultimately the people will need to take back our country by some other means. That will be the reset. God bless.
“The Goebbels propaganda template was/is disarmingly simple: tell a lie, preferably a big one and then repeat it endlessly until it seeps into the popular consciousness. Taking their cue from this policy the mainstream media messages are relentless, ubiquitous, and obedient to their political masters. This was apparent during the EU referendum campaign and the geopolitical tensions in eastern Europe and the South China Sea. This information war is now the primary political phenomenon of our times, and the mass media speaks with one voice.”
The same people who say they “care” about the people are the ones sticking it to the working class. If their actions show how they “care”, wouldn’t you hate to see what their “hate” looks like?
For the green team, if you truly believe in climate change, cut out flying. You are some of the biggest hypocrites in the world. All you care about is what you want, when you want it and how you want it. You lie with impunity pretend that you “care about the Earth” but your actions show that you really don’t give one happy damn about the Earth or the people who live there. You–that’s the only one you care about. If someone removed the I key and the m and e keys from your computer, you would freak out!!
What the “Bad Guys” have is the exact opposite of MAGA and it is totally unnecessary for the American people. Instead of Americans encouraged “to be all they can be”, Americans are being encouraged “to be how less they can be”. This is evil and the work of the Devil as never before more evident.
This is dyametrically opposed the Will of God for mankind. Only evil can promote Man be less and Evil has to be totally out of the picture in order for man to reach fulfillment and joy as blessed by God.
Diametrically opposed perfectly describes progressive position to the Constitution on every single historical or modern day issue. A+ for fang on that assignment. As we know, the Hand of Providence was directly involved in the crafting of our Constitution.
Doom and gloom with constant fear and anxiety. That simply is not healthy. So I leave you with this, smile, don’t sweat it and if you truly have faith you know in he end it will all be ok. Everything changes with the passage of time. All I can say is adapt and overcome.
Lol, don’t you recall how well the Cambodians “adapted” under the Khmer Rouge. How about the Jews “adapting” under Hitler. Good luck with your “adapting” disguised as surrender.
Yeah because you know me and my life experience from a single post. Get over yourself
I’m with you Fang. It’s war; if you’re not “sweating it” you don’t get it. It’s Pick a foxhole time.
Agree, I maintain “the happy warrior” attitude as it is healthier, and becausevit defeats the enemy.
ALL challenges, are ultimately conquered on a battlefield of one cubic foot; its located right between your ears.
Since the majority will not be active combatants, a survival mindset is helpful and maintaining optimism is key in that survival.
We need our best and brightest political minds to survive to move forward should our other efforts meet with success.
I expect the majority of Treepers to be among those who survive and, as OP opined, adapting to adversity and overcoming it is key to that survival. It’ll work out. Some of us will die, sure. That’s how life works.
Those who do fight for freedom can certainly use support. I was reminded of the value of that when recently viewing a short documentary of the only civilian female interred at Fort Bragg’s Special Forces cemetery; someone most of us knew from TV spots and Polident commercials.
She had quite a life supporting those who went into harm’s way to earn that distinction, something few of us likely knew about. Every contribution has value.
3 fatal flaws with the progressive energy agenda:
1. Slave labor largely cultivates the raw materials for sources.
2. There is no, ZERO disposable solution at end of us. That includes batteries, heavy metals, windmill blades etc etc.
3. The value chain REQUIRES fossil fuels to support the conversion and I haven’t seen evidence when that will exist.
Ideology kills people, ideologies kills economies, ideologies kill countries.
Green deal is covid on steroids, fentanyl and oxy combined.
Just add how they are for open borders which increases a nation’s Green House gases, pollution, and natural resource depletion. That is their Achilles Heel. I am a real ecologist/proud to be a naturalist since I was a kid.
What better hedge to own than the Oval.
things make sense…
Thank You, SD.
BBB depends on “tearing it all down” first. I SEE how they THINK theyvare positioning themselves to be “on top” during the “rebuilding”, I just think its a fantasy.
Tearing it ALL down, means not just raising the building, and destroying it to the foundations, it means pulling the bankers that financed it our of their high places and stringing them up.
One of my older pals on the Rhodesian/SA boards used to talk about how the Christians of Iberia used to liquidate the Muslim invaders at every chance they could get, having woman lure them down alleyways etc etc
I have not been able to find much on the Christian “Reconquest” but I have read where the Spanish/Portuguese/British would ambush the French during the Peninsular war everywhere and every chance they got. The old saying was Spain was where military careers were ruined during the Napoleonic era
They ARE the bankers!
Please research the origins of modern banking. It wasn’t an accident, and it is NOT for the people.
Think Solyndra folks.
As the crime family & consiglieres, gluttonous, unquenchable need for more $$$, more, more ……finds new venues daily.
Innocent hard working families will suffer & die due to what is being intentionally thrust upon them, & taken from them.
The transition to a reduced global population is underway.
All by design of Satanic psychopaths.
excess deaths the data

I’m wondering if I should cancel my retirement contributions and instead take a bunch of it out early and live it up before there is no real “living” to do…
Prepare yourself, family, (including animal family) and loved ones.
An enormous amount of capital being used against us comes from us and you described one portion of it, the collective retirement savings of all Americans.
PDJT taught us the value of economic warfare. Use it. Or, survive. Look around though, plenty of Americans, regular people, are angling for us to fail so they can profit.
That’s what’s wrong with America and why, ultimately, the culture will die. We’re cannibals with a voracious appetite for money. All it takes is a little manipulation and a little propaganda and they’ve got us eating each other.
We know who ‘they’ are. The rest is choice.
Partially true.
Since 2008 (at least) respective curves for fiscal spending (TARP, stimulus checks, Ukraine, etc., etc.), monetary actions (negative real interest rates, QE, limited QT) and otherworldly consequent debt/leveraging have all witnessed sharp increases in slope. What does everyone think is the basis for the various asset bubbles (stock, bonds, real estate) now beginning to crater?
Climate change policies, sanctions, etc., obviously drive inflation on the supply side. More insidiously, in the absence of a viable transition plan, they drive reductions in standard of living (for non one-percenters), changes in legal structures (to protect the ruling class), social decay, civil unrest. The larger backdrop to all of this are emergent changes in global financial and supply systems that have BIG implications for all the players. The financialization of everything is at the front end of collapse. The Ukraine battle encapsulates the struggle and the shift from an integrated “global economy” to a multipolar world in which the eurodollar will no longer reign supreme (i.e., export inflation). Commodity owners are establishing their own payments systems and regimes (pegged to gold, other precious metals or commodities). For some time now, particularly after the US unilaterally zeroed out foreign exchange reserves IRT Ukraine, US treasuries as a “safe haven” for foreign savings have been shrinking – big time. Implications for our debt driven/over-leveraged economy are obvious. The US still maintains tremendous advantages in energy and native materials reserves. However, if we persist on the current WEF/energy immiseration path, we will decline both internally and as a world power.
The global financial system is changing, trade and transportation patterns are changing, currency valuation/trade exchanges are changing, the integrated global production systems is giving away to greater restoration of native production (economic “nationalism”). Commodity owners and countries producing real goods and services are going to have a greater voice in calling the shots over time.
You know, when our president tells us “you’re gonna have to suffer”, is it just me or does that sound like a tyrant to you too?
But, cake sounds like the opposite of suffering! I wish he’d just told us to go have some instead!
(Yep, he’s a tyrant)
Nobody in DC that cares about the middle class or our country can find the emergency brake handle! (Maybe no one is left)
I’m unsure Wall Street Etc., are willing to accept lower or negative returns for very long to let the bloviating greens lead us to a new world order.
Anybody with half of a practical economic brain realizes the greens must be tossed over now, not in a few years, but now.
We can stop the Green Nude Eel if we elect enough people who will pledge to support America First and Energy Independence. Make your candidates pledge to do so.
another interesting viewpoint….”the Fed is no longer on board with coordinating Central Bank policy globally to suit the needs of foreign actors, in particular the European Union and the ECB.”

This is what I visit daily for.
Thank you.
Nuclear power and new politicians that support it will certainly be welcome as well as greater drilling in a return to US energy independence. Although these things provide the energy independence the US needs for national security they are not achieved over night now that the Progressive-Marxists have wrecked US energy independence. It could take up to 10 years with the right political climate to regain energy independence. We’ll see.
My Irish grandfather was a “teamster” that is team of horses. He was in an open carriage, very tough in sub zero weather, and drank like a fish and smoked like a chimney. Raised 7 children, helping them raise their children. When I was a child I remember tussle about the Teamsters fooling with his pension. Different breed
i do not want to transition to green BS energy! stop this madness
“The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.”
-Vladimir Lenin
I can see it happening thanks to Sundance, but I feel so inept in being able to influence this or to help anyone else to see it.
I will do what I can, especially for me and mine. Canning and freezing, making my house tight and as secure as possible, fixing the fireplace and buying firewood.
Going to Republican Party meetings, manning tables to get out the vote, being there to vote and encouraging others to vote. It seems so little.
#$@&?!! I don’t want “hearings”! I don’t want investigations! I was impeachments, prosecutions, convictions, and jail time.
This will fail, bigly.
Remember the best laid schemes of mice and men often go awry.
Take this for what it really is; not every billionaire and world leader or influencer wants this for their country.
Already scientists are coming out with papers showing there is NO climate crisis. This will go the way of great planned chi-com flu scheme.
One Big Fail!
The best demand management tool is not higher interest rates—it is population reduction. But if you do both, you get extra effect. Vaxx anyone? Any wonder why they push more electric cars, and no corresponding increase in grid capacity? Almost like the expect fewer people.
On another note, if you are going to destroy the financial system, how do you hedge/preserve wealth? Buy useful things, take title, before the financial system implodes—while the money still works. Purchase food production capacity for example. Then destroy the food production capacity that you do not control. Then the value of your food increases substantially. Your coercive power grows exponentially. Sound familiar? (SPECTR is real, and has some famous people at the top-clippy gets the last laugh.)
How much pain will the elite suffer? Does Biden’s basement have central heat?
Does anyone think that the reason the Left is doing one outrageous thing after another is because they plan to not have midterm elections this year? They just don’t seem to be worried…
As these Masters of the Universe plot what they demand of us minions, while shielding their wealth from any impact, I think of the elderly couple during COVID.
As it was stated, the elderly couple flagged down someone in the grocery store parking lot. They cracked their window slightly and passed out a $100 bill and grocery list. They were in tears asking the person they flagged down to buy them groceries. They were too scared of COVID to go into the store and get food.
How many of these elderly are eating cat food now? How many are choosing to switch off any electric item in their house because their bill is now outrageously unaffordable? How many cannot even afford gas to get to the grocery store to pass money out a crack in their window?
How many will not be able to afford their heating bills this winter? Remember the left some years ago applauding heating oil assistance?
I can survive and help my family survive, but what of the elderly who have not been killed off by the COVID nonsense?
I remember .19 cents for a gallon of gas.
Well, well, well, we’ve come from no inflation, to temporary inflation, to “Katy, bar the door” in less than a year. Now their telling us the problem isn’t supply, rather we’re consuming too much.
And the “stenographers” never bat an eye?
”We have seen the future and it’s stupid!”
I get more companies sending “e-bills.” I tell them that “e-bills”are presumed to be phishing scams and go into the spam file and don’t get paid. I also report them as spam.
Lucky for China they want no part of this green nonsense. The West, led by dim-witted empty suits is destroying itself deliberately. Greta will soon head the UN General Assembly!
We citizens are the collateral for the central bank notes. I mean you and I. And the bankers and legislators (and some judges and generals too) extort money and want the citizens to be accountable.
