You Must Make Sacrifices To Compensate For The One Per Cent's Enormous Carbon Footprint

 24 February 2022


Private Jet versus Luxury Yacht - which would YOU give up to reduce yout Carbon footprint

While the money and political elites are turning up the climate change scareorator way past eleven once more in order to keep populations in a state of fear now that the COVID scare is crumbling, the finger of blame for the doomsday scenarios predicted by climate mathematical models is as usual being pointed at We The Ordinary Punters.

"WE are all in this together and YOU must make sacrifices to save the planet," warn political leaders, clueless academics and the billionaire psychopaths who have bought control of politics, academia and the media. And few people stop to question why WE must make sacrifices while THEY continue to fly round the world in private jets, cruise the Mediterranean or Caribbean in luxury yachts that are more like floating palaces that leisure craft, and live in floodlit, air conditioned palaces that consume more energy than a middle sized town.

Well some of us do question, we are known to the majority as either online journalists or 'conspiracy theorists' depending on a reader's politics, and to the politicians, academics, billionaire psychopaths and people on their payrolls as "that bunch of awkward, really obnoxious bastards who refuse to believe 'The Science' and insist on challenging oppressive policies devised 'for the greater good.' 

Thanks to us bunch of awkward, really obnoxious bastards, and the statistics nerds at Statistia it is now becoming widely known that the world's richest ten percent are responsible for an estimated 47 percent share of global CO2 emissions. This has been revealed by a recent study published in the journal Nature Sustainability, which focused on how tackling poverty worldwide would affect emissions of CO2, the harmless but demonised gas without which life is not possible but which has unscientifically been blamed for all the mathematical models of climate related catastrophes in the past thirty years. As Statista's Florian Zandt shows in the chart below, the difference between the poorest and wealthiest people not only shows in their emission share.

ad the lower 50 percent income group only produces about  ton of CO2 per year compared to approximately 48 tons per capita of carbon dioxide emitted by the wealthiest one percent.

Of course, the results are different depending on the region. In Europe, USA, Canada or Australia for example, the bottom 50 percent had a higher estimated share of total emissions than the top ten percent, while the top one percent in Sub-Saharan Africa were responsible for more carbon emissions than the bottom 50 percent.

Combating poverty (a goal only committed virtue signallers would see as realistic,) around the world would require an unprecedented level of cooperation between nations and present logistical challenges of a scale never before envisaged, its effects on global warming would be minimal according to the study. Lifting over a billion people above the official poverty line under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 1 would only raise the estimated global CO2 output by roughly two percent, even though carbon emissions in low to lower-middle income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa  and South East Asia could potentially double.

However the top ten per cent are unlikely to make sacrifices to reduce their gigantic footprints, and while the high to middle income groups of the developed nations are more likely to respond to the manipulative propaganda of behavioural scientists, even their scope for making a difference is tiny compared to emissions generated by manufacturing industry, transport and agriculture.

The collapse of fascist regimes and fanatical cults never is simple. The New Normal is proving to be no exception.

 

Boggart Abroad his not commented beyond merely noting events in reltion to the Canadian Freedom convoy and the brutal and authoritarian measures taken by Canada's liberal - fascist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to suppress the protest and crush opposition to his totalitarian government. These measures have included enacting new laws by Prime Ministerial decree to by-pass the usual scrutiny by elected representatives of the people that is expected in a parliamentary democracy. After several weeks of citizens shocked and repulsed by Trudeau's heavy handed authoritarianism in response to the COVID pandemic exercising their legal right to express their opposition to government policy through non-violent civil disobedience, the gathering outside the Canadian parliament in Ottawa of truckers and other Canadian citizens struggling to uphold their right to not be subjected to forced “vaccination,” Justin Trudeau unleashed his Canadian version of Hitleer's SS. Thousands of militarized riot police (and other unidentified heavily-armed special ops squads) surged into the area, surrounded the protesters,and started breaking into trucks, arresting the occupants and beating them with batons and rifle butts. Yes, woke liberal - fascists like Trudeau, for all their hypocritical bullshit about inclusivity, diversity and multiculturalism, do not tolerate opposition to their authority once their haver power. In a particularly ugly incident, the Trudeau's Stormtroopers deliberately spurred their horses into a crowd of protesters, trampling among others an elderly lady with a walking frame. She had been talking to police officers on foot, reportedly saying something along the lines of “you break my heart … this is about peace, and love, and happiness.” Then the monted squad knocked her down and drove their mounts over her. It could only have been deliberate because horses will instinctively avoid threading on an unstable surface such as a moving body. Despite an abundance of video evidence clearly depicting exactly what happened, the Neo - Nazi Ottawa city authority tried to spin it away as an unfortunate accident: Here’s an overhead photo of the incident …
The big red arrow (courtesy of Marie Oakes) points to the lady’s walker, or an alleged “horse-assaulting bicycle.” Presumably, in the eyes of Trudeau supporters of Ottowa police authority, the face of the gentlemen above her also caused the horse “to trip,” or was in the process of causing the horse “to trip,” at the moment that this photo was taken. After that particular show of callous brutality things only became worse. The “show of force” aimed at imposing the will of 'woke - liberal- fascist' dictator Trudeau on the people was just getting started. After all, this was not a “mostly peaceful” outbreak of legal dissent, including looting, mugging and arson similar to that witnessed in the USA following the death of career criminal, drug pusher,violent thug and otherwise model citizen George Floyd. The Freedom Convoy was a wholly unacceptable challenge to the rule of law involving was non-violent civil disobedience, children’s bouncy castles, makeshift saunas, horn honking, music and dancing, illegal barbecuing, and other forms of “terrorist” activity, which had to be crushed with an iron fist...

Russia-Ukraine crisis will put more pressure on the global food supply chain, driving up prices around the world

  The escalation of what was a civil conflict Russias separatist rebels and the government in Ukraine, into what could become a worldwide conflict involving the USA, NATO and the European Union threatens to put even more strain on the global food supply, driving up prices of essential staples wheat, corn and sunflower oil. The UK has already sanctioned five Russian banks. The United States and the European Union are also getting involved with their own list of sanctions.  Worse, the USA and UK, having emboldened the Ukrainian government to embark on a programme of ethnic cleansing that has been top of their wish list since 1914 when the separatist regions of Lubansk and Donetz, which both have a majority of ethnic Russians in their population, unilaterally declared independence.

Due to the idiocies of being "led by science" throughout the pandemic, coupled with a global energy crisis resulting from loonytoons green energy policies, the world is now facing an energy crisis and a batch of food shortages due to chaos in distribution systems. As conflict  in The Black Sea region  escalates, the global food supply also now hangs in the balance.


In the vast weheatfields of Unkraine (Source: Wikimedia commons)

Russia and Ukraine produce for nearly 80 percent of all sunflower oil exported around the world. Approximately 29 percent of the global  wheat exports and 19 percent of the corn (maize) supply comes from the plains of Russia and Ukraine too. Wheat, corn and sunflower oil are common components of many everyday food products that populations depend upon throughout the world. Many smaller Middle Eastern nations rely on Russian and Ukrainian wheat for stability in their food supply. If Black Sea ports on Ukranian and Russian coastlines are cut off due to armed conflict, essential shipments of grain will not be able to leave their nations of origin.

Thus if the conflict escalates, as may well happen with the governments of USA and UK still indulging in sabre rattling and ofering pledges of military support to theauthoritarian government in Kiev,  food prices which are already spiralling out of control driving many low income families into poverty, are certain to increase further. After Russian President Vladimir Putin declared the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s R evenepublics and dispatched troops into those regions yesterday, U.S. wheat futures jumped 9.72 percent and corn futures spiked 9.34 percent from their recent low levels.

The regions that will be worst hit by food shortages, rationing, military conflict and port closures would include North Africa, Asia and the Middle East. These regions depend heavily on Russian and Ukrainian grain exports. 

Russian wheat exports are mostly sent to Africa and the Middle East; approximately 70 percent of Russian wheat was sent to these regions in 2021.

Historically Ukraine was known as 'the breadbasket of Europe' for their wheat supply. Now, with population changes, much of the middle east looks to Ukraine for grain supplies. Lebanon receives half of its wheat supply from Ukraine. Libya imports 43 percent of their wheat from the same source. Other countries that will be impacted include Malaysia, Indonesia, Bangladesh and Egypt. These countries receive anywhere from 14-28 percent of their wheat supply from Ukraine, which would make a significant enough shortfall to trigger a humanitarian crisis in those regions..

Even though Ukraine hopes to export 56 million tons of grain in 2022, many of their ports and shipping routes will inevitably be disrupted should the crisis develop into a shooting war.. Most of grain exports are transported from the Black Sea which can only access The editerranean and the world's oceans via the narrow strait known as The Bosphorus. If military conflict continues in the region, a naval blockade of this shipping routes may cause The Black Sea ports be cut off for an unknown amount of time.

The threat of war in the region is already causing disruption of food supplies. Buyers in international markets are already competing to buy from different suppliers, forcing up prices.  A buyer from Singapore told Reuters:“Ships are avoiding entering the Black Sea because of the war risk, Supply disruptions are already taking place.”

I Have Seen The New Normal And It Is Not Pretty

 

  The collapse of fascist ideological movements and tyrannical regimes is never pretty. The New Normal, the World Economic Forum / United Nations bid to establish global governance was never going to be any different.

After three weeks of non-violent civil disobedience outside the Canadian parliament in Ottawa by truckers and other Canadian citizens struggling to uphold their right to not be subjected to forced “vaccination,” Justin Trudeau unleashed the goon squads. Thousands of militarized riot police (and other unidentified heavily-armed operatives) swarmed the area, surrounded the protesters, started breaking into trucks and arresting people, and beating them with batons and the butts of their rifles.

In one particularly ugly episode, the New Normal stormtroopers rode their horses directly into a crowd of non-violent protesters, trampling an elderly lady with a walker. She had just finished saying something to the police along the lines of “you break my heart … this is about peace, and love, and happiness.” Then they knocked her down and rode their horses over her.

The brutal smashing of the Canadian protests was obviously meant to send a media-salivating message to all of us that dissent was futile – when,of course the opposite is true. The political system is broken and judiciary largely corrupt. Our only recource is to public disobedience, dissent and demonstration on a huge national and global scale, which history shows worked for Gandhi and the millions of literally downtrodden Indian peasants who stood passively but resolutely shoulder to shoulder against the might of imperial colonialists and their stooges, Remember, we are many, and they are few. We are right and they are wrong. United we stand. Divided we and generations to come face the prospect of neo-serfdom and a transhuman existence dictated by heartless technocrats.

COVID was merely the excuse to ramp up a multi faceted dystopian technocratic neo-feudal global reconfiguration to sweep away the vestiges of the collapsing current order and usher in the Great Reset/New World Order the oligarchs have been planning for and simulating for (Swine Flu, HIV/AIDS, 9-11, Bird Flu, Zika virus etc.) for decades. The same cast of miscreants is behind all this reengineering (the European blue bloods, the Rothschild and Rockefeller families et al) with new front men like Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, George Soros, Michael Bloomberg and a host of acolytes and flunkies like Fauci, Trudeau and Johnson to do their handy work. Australia, Germany Austria and now Canada are the prototypes of our future unless we put a stop to it.

Many of us around the world have been suspicious for years about the plans that were creeping into sight, the webs being woven by the unseen arse-end of… Them. Even so, now that we are in full swing with the many strands of The Great Build Back Reset Better, I’m fairly alarmed at the lack of real options available to halt it. I honestly won’t make it in Dystopia.

Surely this over-arching, malevolent subjugation has been in the pipeline for many decades, perhaps longer?

Fascism is a real problem in the US– I expect it to formally take over come the next election cycle and once its entrenched it will not be removed easily. It won’t be Stormtroopers on the street, at least no more than we’re used to anyway. It will be an ideology dominated by faith and country for the masses (the American equivalent of “Kinder, Kucher, Kircher”) and complete corporate freedom. Corruption and insider plays will be the norm, the political stage being dominated by showboaters who treat the trappings of government as a reality show since the real business of government will be business, it will be carried out administratively. There may be a fig leaf of opposition but it won’t be allowed to impact the course of government with any challenges to laws being shot down by the courts and any administrative friction being dealt with by summary firing of any administrator that fails to please the party hacks brought in to oversee the various federal administrations.

Many of us will know that we’re nearly there already. A second Trump term would have sealed the deal. Like a magic show its difficult to look away from the action to see what’s really going on — all these noisy diversions (and I regard the whole anti-vax thing as a diversion — sorry) are distractions from the business of consolidating power. There’s a lot of Astroturf out there because the stakes couldn’t be higher but I figure that come the change I’ll be all right, more or less (old, rich, white), its subsequent generations who are going to have to deal with the fallout (which, given the way things are trending, may be literally true).

About the only thing upon which I fundamentally agreed with Christopher Hitchens was his contempt for wishful thinking (in that context, he was usually speaking about religion).

I think anyone who is trying to rally our spirits in this horrible catastrophe owes it to us to back up any statement to the effect that ‘the covid narrative is collapsing’ with some credible evidence, and not just an anecdote about their grandmother having suddenly seen right through Justin Trudeau.

The whole point of the official narrative is that it is a story – like “The American Dream” – which we are supposed to swallow without a second thought, and those who concocted the story don’t care whether we believe it or not.

The believing bit is not required – it’s only the obeying bit that’s required.

From that perspective, this is a sheer battle of wills. The psychopaths say, “Just do it!”
And we say, “No!”
But just look at which side has the numbers!
We do – unless of course we are all becoming psychopaths too…

Just saying, “NO!” is where I believe a solution lies – not in an attempt to make truth-tellers out of liars, sighted people out of the blind, and hearing people out of the deaf.

“Let those who have eyes to see” is a perfectly good attitude to take, and a tacit reminder that our current persecutors do not have those eyes to see.

We must stop trying to convince ourselves – who are already convinced – of the value of truth, and we must stop trying to convince those who don’t want to be convinced.
We just have to stop this insanity. With an endless list of initiatives like the truckers, more ‘Occupy’ initiatives, more stubborn refusals to lie down and let the mercenaries to stomp on our heads, we can surely do it.

We, here, know that large numbers of us are meeting and protesting all over the world, but the world doesn’t know it, on account of Public Enemy No. 1 – the media.
So the media must be forced, by our sheer numbers, to do their only legitimate job, which is to report what is really going on, instead of inventing narratives on the orders of their owners.

Just imagine if those truckers had shown up outside the BBC, or the Guardian offices, and refused to budge until the media did their job… That’s probably not enough on its own, but something like it needs to become our general attitude to the traitors who presume to represent us today.

Even Jesus was silent when Pontius Pilate asked Him, “What is Truth?”, although it was certainly a deafening silence.
Until the time comes when the only choice is between Him and satan, we need to focus on what is actually effective – for the sake of our children and grandchildren, who will not otherwise get the education they need to know the difference.

I’ll wind up with a rather wonderful statement by Rudolf Steiner:
“A time will come when truth will be more a matter of experience than of proof”.
His focus was upon mankind’s further evolution – not exactly a popular concept today, but I think many of us here already know exactly what he was talking about, because we are experiencing it right now.

The BMJ has posted a few articles railing at some of the inconsistencies and monkey business surrounding this catastrophe (e.g., Facebook censorship) but who among the general populace goes to their website, let alone knows the publication even exists? As for the FDA, they are completely compromised and corrupted, and thus completely useless – we won’t get anything out of them except for more lies and obfuscation.

Reiner Fullmich finally got his grand jury hearing going but he had to create his own court (the “court of public opinion” as he refers to it) to do it since no offical court would agree to take it on. I’ve watched a bit of it so far and it seems they have it together. But I don’t think they’ll accomplish very much. It certainly won’t get any coverage from the stenographers of the MSM.

The power to stop this still lies with the people. But unless a vast majority wakes up from their hypnotic state and recognizes what’s going down, this thing will probably just play out to its logical conclusion.

We live in strange times. Many whom we had assumed would choose freedom are choosing fascism and calling it freedom while calling us fascists. I ventured into the eye of the #BlackfaceHitler twitter storm where many are disgusted but few have answers or ideas for how to end the tyranny. Trudeau is just one of many elected fascists, and so it is good to see protests spread to other countries. In NewZealand the protesters are determined to hold the line until the mandates end. The politicians and media along with their flock cannot seem to come to grips with that reality though, and so yes I expect Adhern to use brute force fairly soon. Climate activists were discussing how they could learn from the protest in terms of what 𝘯𝘰𝘵 to do without realising that the core lesson is not to go home at the end of the day.
One missing ingredient in the global revolt though is a replacement political and economic ideology or framework. One detractor insulted the protesters by saying they are living in a stateless moneyless borderless commune without a leader as if that is a bad thing and on account of the protesters supposedly being “alt-right”.
All nation states are essentially totalitarian on account of there being no clearly defined limits on government power, and democracy in its current form always results in the same kind of people getting elected:people who will abuse that power. Democracy cannot work without an informed majority and yet how can we prevent the filthy rich from owning politicians and the media? If we

try to structure our economies purely with money we will have capitalists pushing us around. If we try to curtail capitalism we end up with governments pushing us around.

News Round Up - 22 February 2022

 

New Zealand protesters take aim at Jacinda Ardern: 'She has to go'

Freedom Convoy demonstrations against Covid vaccine mandates have grown into a wider expression of frustration with the country's rules

For more than two weeks, the scene outside New Zealand’s beehive-shaped Parliament grounds has been almost festival-like. Packs of children play hopscotch in between hundreds of tents while groups of people chant Hare Krishna or offer hugs. 

What began as a spontaneous, hodge-podge attempt to ape the trucker protests seen in Canada has turned into something more organised as the crowd has swelled to around 1,500 people. Herb gardens have been planted, makeshift showers set up, and hot meals a day are served up for free three times a day by volunteers. There’s even a daycare tent.

The purpose of the protest has also grown, from discontent with the country’s controversial vaccine mandate into broader frustration with prime minister Jacinda Ardern’s government for bringing in some of the world’s strictest Covid measures. 

“I know Covid is real and I’m not anti-vax,” said self-appointed “protest peacekeeper” Linzy Noble. “But this new vaccine hasn’t been tested properly and that’s why my family isn’t ok with it. Lots of people here feel the same way. Does that make us bad people? Do we deserve to lose our careers and be treated like s--t?”

The 57-year-old painting contractor said he and his seven children were all out of work due to the vaccine mandate and that he was more worried about rising suicide rates, small businesses failing, and the long-term impacts of restrictions on kids than he was by catching Covid ...

 
Europe's energy crisis deepened Tuesday as Germany halted the process of certifying the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline. Putin's right hand man, Dmitry Medvedev responded to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's comments about the certification of the controversial Russia-to-Germany natural gas pipeline that 'can't happen right now' by tweeting:

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has issued an order to halt the process of certifying the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. Well. Welcome to the brave new world where Europeans are very soon going to pay €2.000 for 1.000 cubic meters of natural gas!

Based on Medvedev's tweet, translating MWh to cubic meters, it appears gas prices for Europe could be headed back to crisis levels not seen since late 2021. 

Europe is heavily reliant on Russia for its gas needs, and to block the Nord Stream 2's certification will only create havoc in European energy markets. 

Europe's ultra-low gas storage levels for this time of year will keep the market very tight even beyond the winter season.

At a moment the United States and Europe are busy mulling over what sanctions to impose on Moscow for Putin's independence recognition for Ukraine's separatist republics - on the one hand wanting Russia to feel the pain as a warning against moving further into Ukraine (beyond what the Kremlin is dubbing "peacekeeping" troops in Donetsk and Luhansk, which entered the republics overnight), and on the other wanting to avoid severe enough economic measures that would almost guarantee immediate escalation - Germany on Tuesday has announced it has halted the certification process for the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

 
 

Prominent UK Lockdown Advocate Admits He Got It Wrong

Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News,

A prominent lockdown advocate who advised the UK government admits in a new book he got it wrong and that there was never any proper consideration of the devastation caused by lockdowns.

Well, we told you so.

Professor Mark Woolhouse is a member of SPI-M, the modelling group on SAGE, the group that advises the British government on lockdown measures.

SAGE has become notorious for consistently predicting doomsday COVID scenarios that never even come close to passing, such as last year’s warning that Omicron could cause 6,000 deaths a day in the UK without harsher restrictions.

Just as SAGE got it spectacularly wrong earlier in the summer, without substantially harsher restrictions being imposed, Omicron caused nowhere near that level of fatalities.

In a new book called The Year the World Went Mad, Woolhouse expresses regret at SAGE’s involvement in pushing lockdown measures that caused huge devastation yet only served to delay the spread of the virus.

“We knew from February [2020], never mind March, that the lockdown would not solve the problem. It would simply delay it,” said Woolhouse, adding that no one in government appeared to recognize the failing of that strategy.

“The early global response to the pandemic was woefully inadequate,” says Woolhouse, adding that the WHO praising China for its draconian ‘zero COVID’ approach set the scene for similar disasters across the world.   . ..  Continue reading >>>

Russia recognizes breakaway republics of Ukraine as U.S. tries to exploit the region for global war

 

Russia recognizes breakaway republics of Ukraine as U.S. tries to exploit the region for global war


(Natural News) As is being widely reported across the media today, Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed on to Russia’s recognition of the individual states of two breakaway regions wishing to leave Ukraine: Donetsk and Luhansk.

These regions, with literally centuries of history existing as part of Russia, have reportedly signed a mutual defense treaty with Russia and are asking Russia for assistance in defending themselves against Ukraine, which doesn’t want the regions to separate from Ukraine.

The Donetsk and Luhansk regions are known to be rich in mineral resources as well as agricultural production. Ukraine wants to maintain its hold over the region in order to possess those mineral and agricultural resources, while Russia wants those regions to return to “Mother Russia” (as they once were) as part of a strategy to place more geographical buffers between Russia’s border and NATO forces which continue to expand eastward, toward Russia.

As I explain in today’s Situation Update podcast (below), it is impossible to understand the situation with Ukraine unless you study the history of World War II. The map below shows some of the Nazi regime’s eastward expansion toward Russia, where military front lines were heavily concentrated in present-day Ukraine. Continue reading >>>

How World Economic Forum Infiltrates Governments To Put Its Members As Leaders

from Great Game India February 22

Maajid Nawaz, a British activist and radio broadcaster, seemed to startle Joe Rogan, a mega-star podcaster, as he outlined how Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum (WEF) is penetrating world governments to put its own members as leaders to establish a global “checkpoint society” in a Saturday discussion.

How World Economic Forum Infiltrates Governments To Put Its Members As Leaders

Nawaz, the founding head of Quilliam, a think tank dedicated to combating Islamist extremism, told Rogan in a three-hour interview broadcast Saturday that the WEF has planted its members in national leadership positions around the world to pursue the organization’s vast authoritarian goal.

Nawaz said the WEF has worked on “embedding people in government who are subscribed to” the Great Reset agenda, attempting to explain that government leaders around the world have started pulling COVID-19 mandates and constraints while keeping in place an apparatus of digital tracking and identification that shapes the embryonic phases of a digital social credit rating.

“That’s what they say,” Nawaz added, pointing out that the World Economic Forum’s webpage explains the so-called Great Reset, whose proponents have notoriously claimed that by 2030, humans will “own nothing and be happy.”

Schwab explicitly claimed that the COVID-19 reaction must be used to “revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions” in a 2020 book named “Covid-19: The Great Reset.”  .,.. Continue reading >>>

 

The same people in American politics who spent more than four years pretending to believe Donald Trump was an “asset” of Russian President Vladimir Putin have been spending the past few days trying to convince the country that the world is better off with Joe Biden in the White House.

Social media has been awash in anti-Trump tweets. A CNN political analyst Monday night touted Biden’s “leadership.” Hours earlier, a Washington Post columnist speculated on how Putin is missing Trump in the White House.

Fortunately, conservative commentators such as the invaluable Ben Shapiro are around to set the record straight — with the cold reality of facts that liberals try to avoid.

While there was no shortage of material attacking Trump in the Twitterverse, Shapiro was initially responding to a post by overrated historian Francis Fukuyama (the “The End of History” guy), who ludicrously claimed that Trump would “side with Russia” as it invades a neighbor.

The Daily Wire’s founding editor-in-chief pointed out that Russia under Putin has invaded Ukraine twice in recent years – and neither invasion took place while Trump was in the White House.

In fact, Biden was in the executive branch both times — as vice president under President Barack Obama, and now, God help us, as commander in chief himself.

“The ‘Biden is sucking at this, but Trump!’ stuff is laughable when it comes to Russia invading a country both before and after Trump,” Shapiro said on Tuesday. “This isn’t a hypothetical. It’s just reality.” ...  Continue reading >>>

News Roundup -21 February 2022

What Is US Medicines Regulator Hiding? CDC Agency Admits Withholding Widespread Vaccine Efficacy Data

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been collecting detailed information on Covid hospitalizations for more than a year which breaks cases down by age, race and vaccination status - yet the agency has withheld most of it from the public according to the New York Times.

Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

What's more, the agency appears to have selectively published information to support messaging behind boosters.

When the C.D.C. published the first significant data on the effectiveness of boosters in adults younger than 65 two weeks ago, it left out the numbers for a huge portion of that population: 18- to 49-year-olds, the group least likely to benefit from extra shots, because the first two doses already left them well-protected. -NYT

As the Times notes, much of the withheld information could aid in state and local health decisions in their efforts to bring the virus under control. Detailed breakdowns of hospitalizations by age and race, for example, could help officials identify the most at-risk populations in order to more efficiently allocate resources - such as whether healthy adults need booster shots.

According to CDC spokeswoman Kristen Nordlund, the agency's lack of disclosure is "because, basically, at the end of the day, it's not yet ready for prime time," adding that the agency's "priority when gathering any data is to ensure that it’s accurate and actionable."

Nordlund also said the agency is afraid that the information might be 'misinterpreted.'

Arrests as Canadian Cops Attack Ottawa Freedom Convoy Protest with Clubs, Stun Grenades, Rifles

The Canadian authorities have made dozens more arrests in the capital city of Ottawa as they move to crush the anti-vaccine mandate Freedom Convoy.

“[W]e have arrested 47 people — that brings the total so far to 170,” said Steve Bell, the Interim Chief of Police for the City of Ottawa, in his latest press conference on the ongoing operation.

“As we continue to take back our streets, City of Ottawa crews and other municipal vehicles came into the area to clean up and tow away all of the demonstrators’ possessions and vehicles,” he bragged.

“When we deployed our officers this morning you saw the public order units on the ground sweeping across the downtown core from east to west and moving demonstrators out of the parliamentary precinct,” he went on, stating that officers “continued to face resistance” while doing so and that “at one point a flare was ignited by a protestor”.

In response, he confirmed, “officers used a chemical irritant, also known as pepper spray, to disperse unlawful demonstrators who were resisting police orders.”

 
 

Russia And Ukraine On The Brink

from QTR Fringe Finance

(Editor's note: this opinion piece is not in line with our analysis of the situation in Ukraine, but being true Libertarians here at Boggart Abroad we believe in presenting all shades of opinion if they are rational and wel presented.) 
 

It’s been a week since I first held a “Will Russia Invade Ukraine” forum. Given the new developments and heading into a market holiday, I wanted to recap and put the question back out there for discussion. We’ll also get our first taste of how markets might feel, when futures open in just minutes.

This linked page will be updated with up to the minute headlines on the crisis. 

As a courtesy, even to my free subscribers - I wanted to offer up the latest headlines from the weekend so far, as of 5:15pm EST, for discussion. If you enjoy the dialogue, are not a Fringe Finance subscriber and would like to become one, you can get 22% off for life by using this link.

On the hawkish side:

  • President Biden looks like he skipped a planned trip to Delaware tonight to “hold a national security council meeting”.

    • “The President had a family-related issue that was going to take him to Wilmington, DE tonight but he will no longer be going and will remain in Washington, DC tonight," the White House said.

  • CNN - part of the mainstream media cabal that has been warning about an “imminent” attack for weeks, has reported that “the US has intelligence indicating that orders have been sent to Russian commanders to proceed with an attack on Ukraine”.

  • Speaking of said cabal, The New York Times has also reported that the US intelligence community was made aware last week that Russia had given the order to move ahead with an invasion of Ukraine, per the Spectator Index.

  • The U.S. has also issued warnings about terror threats in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and areas near Ukraine, urging Americans to try and find a way out of Russia.

  • US intelligence has suggested that Russia will likely target Kyiv, Odessa, Kharkiv, and Kherson, according to News This Second.

  • Russia has roughly 150,000 troops, warplanes and equipment on Ukraine's border, the same sources, News This Second, reports. Other estimates by the US government suggests that between 169,000 and 190,000 troops are stationed, per the BBC.

  • Swiss Air and Lufthansa have both cancelled flights to and from Ukraine's capital and Odessa, effective immediately, per BNO News.

  • Russian military drills in Belarus, which were due to end today, have been extended, the Belarusian defense ministry says - BNO News, citing Reuters.

  • “Russia's Aeronautical Information Center issued a NOTAM (a Notice to Airmen) on Sunday which will close most of the airspace over the Sea of Azov starting at midnight between Sunday and Monday,” reports the Jerusalem Post.

  • Evidence suggests Russia is planning "the biggest war in Europe since 1945", Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said to the BBC.

On the dovish side

  • Russia’s Ambassador to the U.S. Anatoly Antonov says “there [are] no such plans” to invade Ukraine on Sunday. Video of him on CBS can be seen here.

  • The same ambassador said early on Sunday: “Moscow is not trying to occupy the territory of any foreign country and considers Donbas a part of Ukraine”.

  • “There is no Russian invasion of Ukraine and our forces are inside our territory and do not pose a threat to anyone,” he said.

  • Putin tells Macron plans to withdraw troops from Belarus: French presidency - AFP (note that later headline said they did not withdraw troops)

  • Boris Johnson said Sunday: “Putin must back down from threats and remove soldiers from Ukraine’s border” - BBG

  • The U.S. is still claiming that Russia “might” attack “various cities in Ukraine”, via Bloomberg at about 4PM EST. These headlines still seem to be rising to a fever pitch, yet there has been no confirmed invasion yet.

  • Putin, Macron and have agreed to hold trilateral talks to try and de-escalate the situation.

 
 

Doomsday Climate Studies Turn Out To Be Overblown Nonsense

from Great Game India, 21 February 2022

A meta study, which was published in the journal PLOS Biology on February 3, looked at 91 studies on the impact of ocean acidification on fish behaviour. It discovered that higher-quality research revealed fewer effects on fish behaviour, and that the studies with the most striking results had tiny sample sizes, rendering them statistically unreliable. Scientists have been warning for more than a decade that ocean acidification might devastate fish populations. Numerous studies indicated that acidification affected fish behaviour, making them less likely to dodge predators. Climate activists took an apocalyptic tone as carbon emissions pushed pH levels higher and higher. Fewer fish means fewer fisheries, putting the lives of millions of fishermen throughout the world in jeopardy. It may also mean fewer medicines, as many are made from marine species. These fears, according to a new study published in a prestigious scientific magazine, are greatly exaggerated.
