Conversion draft

The UK government introduced to Parliament on Wednesday 13 jULY the Energy Security Bill, a proposed legislation that does not explicitly confirm the UK’s pledge to end coal use by October 2024. The bill, the goal of which is to “deliver a cleaner, more affordable, and more secure energy system,” doesn’t mention coal, Bloomberg notes, while a spokesperson for the Department of Energy, Business and Industrial Strategy didn’t immediately respond to Bloomberg for comment.

The UK said last year it would bring forward its target to end coal use in electricity generation by one year, to October 2024, as part of its aim to lead the world in tackling climate change. The UK also tried to persuade countries in the COP-26 climate summit in Glasgow last autumn to pledge to ditch coal as soon as possible. The UK has slashed coal use in the past decade as wind power has gained a massive market share in the country’s electricity generation.

On Monday 11 July, no power generated in Britain came from coal, system operator National Grid ESO said (this is bollocks but people believe it because they have been brainwashed,). However, the gas and energy crisis in Europe and the cost-of-living crisis in the UK with soaring energy bills may have prompted the government to not explicitly pledge again an end to coal in two years’ time. ]

Natural gas held the largest share of power generation on Monday, at 35.6%, more than wind with 34.0%, according to National Grid ESO. You will notice that the bollocks figures given by National Grid here does not mention nuclear which generates around 20% of energy used on average and biomass which accounts for another 10%. What was happening is Nationa Grid which distributes energy from power stations to end users, aware that a hot day in summer, such as Monday, is always going to be a low demand day. So while all generating plants feed into the grid, surplus electricity goes down to earth. What the grid and government propagandists dis is say all wind generated electricity was used, none of the biomass or coal generated energy was used. However the case is that The Grid cannot distinguish between and amp of wind power, an amp of nuclear power or an amp of coal power.

Although the UK North Sea produces a lot of gas, Britain also relies on imports from Norway and gas imports via interconnectors from Belgium and the Netherlands during the winter months. A worsening of the current gas and energy crisis in mainland Europe would be felt throughout the UK, where customers are already grappling with a surge in the cost of living and the highest inflation in forty years. The UK is also considering cutting off gas supply via two interconnectors to mainland Europe under an emergency plan that would be triggered in case of severe gas shortages in Britain, the Financial Times reported last week.

It is gratifying to not that while the Conservative Party chooses its new leader, who will become Prime Minister in due course, the interim government is pressing ahead with recommissioning gas wells in the North Sea and coal fired power stations while proposals for fracking are being re - evaluated.

A Mostly Wind- & Solar-Powered US Economy Is A Dangerous Fantasy
When President Biden and other advocates of wind and solar generation speak, they appear to believe that the challenge posed is just a matter of currently having too much fossil fuel generation and not enough wind and solar; and therefore, accomplishing the transition to "net zero" will be a simple matter of building sufficient wind and solar facilities and having those facilities replace the current ones that use the fossil fuels.

We need energy security – not Net Zero
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has prompted a major rethink in the West. We have suddenly found ourselves vulnerable not just to rising prices in oil and gas, but also to inflation in other commodities – such as food and fertiliser. Of all these problems, the security of our energy supply has most exercised minds.

Richard Lindzen - debunking climate scaremongering

Two highly respected climate scientists in the USA have debunked the peer review system for current climate science research reporting as “a joke”. According to Emeritus Professors William Happer and Richard Lindzen, “it is pal review, not peer review," a comment that has been made many times about similar fields of scientific research in The UK and Europe.

Happer and Lindzen both have had long careers in physics and atmospheric science behind them and can point to track records of numerous publicationsd back by evidence that their studies have been borne out by real world data. “Climate science is awash with manipulated data, which provides no reliable scientific evidence,” they state.

No reliable scientific evidence to support Anthropogenic Global Warming theory or any of the numerous other scaremongering theories based on the idea that Carbon Dioxide emissions from human activity is causing catastrophic changes in the environment has ever been provided either by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) which is “government-controlled and only issues government dictated findings”, or by NASA, the USA's National Areonautics and Space Agency .

The two academics draw attention to an IPCC rule that states all summaries for policymakers must be approved by governments. In their opinion, these summaries are “merely government opinions”. They refer to the recent comments on climate models by the atmospheric science professor John Christy from the University of Alabama, who says that, in his view, recent climate model predictions “fail miserably to predict reality”, making them “inappropriate” to use in predicting future climate changes.

The two physicists reserve their greatest scorn for the global surface temperature datasets on which all the failed predictions of the IPCC's pet scientists, rising temperatures, melting ice caps, rising sea levels, indundation of low lying land, submersion of island nations, famine and a huge refugee crisis, have been based. The pair highlight a 2017 paper by Dr. James Wallace et al, that elaborated on how over the last several decades, “NASA and NOAA have been fabricating temperature data to argue that rising CO₂levels have led to the hottest year on record”. The false and manipulated data are said to be an “egregious violation of scientific method”.

It is notable that lay commentators like myself (and thousands of others,) though well educated have, on pointing out that the mathematical models are based on 'adjusted data' and therefore are suspect, are told that we are not climate scientists and therefore cannot understand 'how the science works.' Thus we should not attempt to comment on the issue.

The Wallace authors also looked at the UK Meteorlogical Office HadCRUT database and found all three surface datasets made large historical adjustments and removed cyclical temperature patterns. This was “totally inconsistent” with other temperature data, including satellites and meteorological balloons, they said. Readers will recall that the Daily Sceptic has reported extensively on these issues of late and has attracted a number of ‘fact checks’ by NGOs of dubious credibility.

Happer and Lindzen summarise: “Misrepresentation, exaggeration, cherry picking or outright lying pretty much covers all the so-called evidence marshalled in support of the theory of imminent catastrophic global warming caused by fossil fuels and CO₂.”

The Professors' comments are included in a submission to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which is seeking to impose strict and closely monitored ‘climate change’ reporting requirements on public companies. But they form part of a wider scientific revolt by many scientists alarmed at the corruption of science to promote globalist political agendas such as Net Zero and Open Borders. Needless to say, these debates are seldom even mentioned by mainstream media which prefers to continue pushing the lie that on climate change 'The Science Is Settled.' The case is it never was settled.

The tactics of Global Warming scaremongers are straight out of the Frankfurt School playbook (or the simplified version, Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, a promer for wannabe tyrants and fascist bully boys. Opponents of Net Zero's politicised science are denounced as ‘cranks’ and ‘deniers’, labels in this case at odds with their distinguished scientific achievements. Between them, Happer from Princeton and Lindzen from MIT have around 100 years of involvement in atmospheric science. Richard Lindzen was an early lead author for the IPCC, while William Happer was responsible for a groundbreaking invention that corrected the degrading effects of atmospheric turbulence on imaging resolution.

In their submission, Happer and Lindzen supply a basic lesson in science: “Reliable scientific theories come from validating theoretical predictions with observations, not consensus, peer review, government opinions or manipulated data”.

Coal Emerges Victorious As Sanctions And Green Policies Backfire Spectacularly

from Zero Hedge

When historians look back on this chaotic and turbulent period, they will find that few individuals inflicted as much damage on the environment and promoted the interests of the "dirty fossil fuel" lobby as Greta Tunberg, who by shaming and forcing "serious" politicians to pivot toward green energy at a time when there was nowhere near enough green capacity to replace existing sources of energy, sparked what may be the most spectacular self-own in history. And today, the WSJ, Bloomberg and Reuters all wrote about it.

We start with the WSJ which concedes what was obvious to most long ago (see "Will ESG Trigger Energy Hyperinflation" from last June), namely that "an energy-starved world is turning to coal as natural-gas and oil shortages exacerbated by Russia’s war against Ukraine lead countries back to the dirtiest fossil fuel."

Yes, contrary to the intentions of Green fanatics everywhere, their push to accelerate away from "dirty" fossil fuel has not only backfired spectacularly, but also exposed the hypocrisy and empty promises of so many virtue-signalers, as "from the U.S. to Europe to China, many of the world’s largest economies are increasing short-term coal purchases to ensure sufficient supplies of electricity, despite prior pledges by many countries to reduce their coal consumption to combat climate change."

Adding insult to injury, the global competition for coal which is now also in short supply after years of declining investment in new mines and resources, has driven benchmark prices to new records this year. Spot coal prices at Australia’s Newcastle port, a key supplier to Asia, topped $400 a ton for the first time last month.

Hilariously, the push for coal is being led by Europe, ground zero of the "green movement" which finally realized that one can't burn fake virtue or melt posing in front of camera in the winter to keep warm, and is boosting coal purchases to ensure it can keep power flowing to homes and factories after Russia cut gas supplies to the continent. Germany, which not long ago promised to eliminate coal as a power source by 2030, is among the nations now importing more. Economy Minister Robert Habeck called the increased reliance on coal bitter but necessary. Spoiler alert: Germany will not eliminate coal as a power source by 2030, if anything it will be more reliant on it than ever unless it also restarts its nuclear power plants which it, idiotically, shut down not long ago.

Never one to admit it was dead wrong, however, Europe has a response to everything: “Right now the sentiment is that more coal is better than more Russia,” said Alex Msimang, a London-based partner at law firm Vinson & Elkins LLP specializing in the energy sector.

Whatever dude. .... Continue reading >>>

Russia Now Demands Rubles For Grain As World's Largest Wheat Exporter

from Zero Hedge, 2 July 2022

After threatening to do so for a couple months now, Russia has pulled the trigger on expanding the list of commodities for which it demands payment in rubles to now include grain exports, effective Friday per a government legal website.

So now grain, sunflower oil and extracted meal are the next to follow the March decision to charge clients from "unfriendly" countries - including major customers in Europe - in rubles for natural gas instead of the normative dollars and euros.

On top of this move, recently Agriculture Dmitry Patrushev announced that Russia's agricultural products will go to "friendly countries" only, and according to "who needs it most" - a hugely significant statement sure to continue sowing uncertainty and chaos for the global food supply.

Via Farmdocdaily: Russia and Ukraine account for 14% of global wheat production and rank 1^stand 5^threspectively. Both countries are prominent exporters, providing nearly 30% of global wheat exports. The EU, U.S., and Canada are also major producers and exporters of wheat. China and India are major wheat producers, but are net importers and provide relatively small shares of global wheat exports. Other countries with fairly large wheat export shares include Australia (8.4%), Argentina (6.6%), Kazakhstan (4.1%), and Turkey (3.4%).

Russian state media detailed further of the new decree published to a government law portal, "It also provides for a one-year extension of duties to be paid in the national currency in respect of exported sunflower oil and sunflower meal until August 31, 2023."

And further, "As part of the new payment mechanism, the base price for calculating the export duty on wheat will be 15,000 rubles (over $267) per ton."

While Russia has blamed Western sanctions aiming to punish and isolate the Russian economy for blowing back on the global food supply, and especially the Middle East and African countries already heavily reliant on Ukraine and Russia grain exports, G7 countries days ago at their summit in Germany blasted Moscow in a statement for what it called "a geopolitically motivated attack on global food security." ...

Rationing Has Already Started In Europe As The Entire Globe Plunges Into A Horrific Economic Nightmare

Authored by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog,

If countries in Europe are already beginning to ration certain things due to “supply problems”, how long will it be before it starts happening in the United States?

Up until the past couple of years, many of us in the western world always considered shortages to be something that only “unsophisticated” poor countries on the other side of the planet had to deal with. But the last couple of years have shown us that painful shortages can happen to wealthy countries in the western world too. At first we were told that they were “just temporary”, but the months went by and we just kept having more shortages. In fact, in 2022 “supply problems” have become so serious that many supermarkets in Europe have been forced to strictly ration essential items at various times. For example, it was being reported that due to the war in Ukraine flour, sunflower oil and sugar were all being rationed by stores in Greece…

After limiting the sale of some flours and sunflower oil online, Greek supermarkets are turning to rationing the sale of sugar as well, now including in their stores, over supply problems.
The AB Vassilopoulos is setting a maximum limit on the purchase of all brands of corn and sunflower oil and of flour per customer while Mymarket put a ceiling on sunflower oil purchases and Sklavenitis has added sugar to the rationed sales of corn oil through its online store, with a maximum of four packs, the products in high demand from restaurants, some of which said they have to stop selling french fries and other fried foods.

Over the past few months we have seen similar measures implemented in other major European nations as well. For example, the war in Ukraine prompted some pretty severe rationing in Spain…

Sporadic shortages of products like eggs, milk, and other dairy products also hit Spain since the war in Ukraine began. And major supermarkets including Mercadona and Makro began rationing sunflower oil earlier this month.
Now, stores will temporarily be allowed to limit “the number of goods that can be bought by a client,” according to information in the Official State Gazette published on Wednesday.

Looking forward, natural gas rationing is the next big thing that many people in Europe are talking about. The flow of Russian natural gas into Europe has been cut back, and it appears that this may soon cause widespread rationing in Italy…

Italy may start rationing natural-gas consumption to certain industrial giants, after Russia’s Gazprom halved supplies on Friday.
On the weekend, the newspaper Corriere della Sera reported that the Italian government and energy industry would meet Tuesday and Wednesday to discuss the crisis, with the likely outcome being the introduction of a state of alert under the country’s gas emergency protocol.

And CNN is reporting that Germany is “one step closer to rationing supplies” now that Russia has decided to reduce the flow of natural gas going to that country…

Europe’s biggest economy is now officially running short of natural gas and is escalating a crisis plan to preserve supplies as Russia turns off the taps.
Germany on Thursday activated the second phase of its three-stage gas emergency program, taking it one step closer to rationing supplies to industry — a step that would deliver a huge blow to the manufacturing heart of its economy.

Of course there are other parts of the globe that are dealing with problems that are far, far more serious than what Europe is facing right now. ... Continue reading >>>

Authored by Mark Oshinskie via The Brownstone Institute,

In college, I took a Latin American Politics and Development class. When discussing Latin American medical care, Professor Eldon Kenworthy presented a deeply countercultural idea. Echoing a journal article by the scholar, Robert Ayres, Kenworthy maintained that building hospitals there costs lives. If, instead of erecting, equipping and staffing gleaming medical centers, this same money and human effort were devoted to providing clean water, good food and sanitation, the public health yield would be much greater.

United States medical history bears out Ayres’s paradox. The biggest increases in US life expectancy occurred early in the Twentieth Century, when people had increasing access to calories and protein, better water and sanitation. Lives lengthened sharply decades before vaccines, antibiotics or nearly any drugs were available, and a century before hospitals merged into corporate Systems.

Incremental American life span increases during the past fifty years reflect far less smoking, safer cars and jobs, cleaner air and less lethal wars more than they reflect medical advances. Books like Ivan Illich’s Medical Nemesis and Daniel Callahan’s Taming the Beloved Beast echo Ayres’s critique. But PBS, CNN, B & N, the NYT, et al. censor such views.

The American medical landscape has changed radically in the forty years since I learned of Ayres’ observation.

America spends three times as much, as a percentage of GDP, on medical treatments as it did in the 1960s.

By 2020, America devoted 18% of its GDP to medicine. (By comparison, about 5% goes to the military). Adding the mega-costs of mass testing and vaccines etc., medical expenditures might now approach 20%. Although the US spends more than twice per capita what any other nation spends on medical care, American ranks 46th in life expectancy. US life expectancy has flatlined, despite growing medical spending and broadened medical access via the vaunted Affordable Care Act.

Though medicine’s high-cost and relatively low yield are right in front of anyone who thinks about their medical experiences and those of people they know, most never connect the dots; more medical treatments and spending are continually advocated and applauded.

Damage of COVID Lockdowns Assessed

from City Journal, 20 June 2022

In April, free-market economists Phil Kerpen, Stephen Moore, and Casey B. Mulligan published a working paper for the National Bureau of Economic Research entitled “A Final Report Card on the States’ Response to COVID-19.” Their report considered three variables for all 50 states and Washington, D.C.: health outcomes (measured by adjusted mortality), economic performance throughout the pandemic (measured by unemployment and GDP), and the pandemic effect on education (measured by the percentage of cumulative in-person instruction). The authors investigated the relationships among the three variables using simple linear regression, a tool to summarize and study relationships between two continuous variables. This method yields a correlation coefficient that rates both the strength and the direction of the relationship between the two variables.

The results: locked-down economies did not have better health outcomes, open schools were slightly negatively correlated with health outcomes, and the lockdown of schools and economies were highly correlated. ... Continue reading >>>

Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News,

World Economic Forum technocrats are urging people to ditch meat and other foods deemed to be harmful to the planet and instead consume “climate beneficial foods” such as seaweed, algae and cacti.

The WEF made the call as it wrapped up the 2022 meeting of global elitists in Davos, Switzerland.

A video summary was posted to Twitter in which the WEF promoted alternatives to a food system it claimed is responsible for two thirds of global carbon dioxide emissions.

A starter list published by the organization triumphs algae as being “an ideal replacement for meat” because it has a “carbon-negative profile” and is high in “essential fatty acids and high vitamin and antioxidants content.”

The guide also highlights cacti as containing “high amounts of vitamins C and E, carotenoids, fibre and amino acids,” noting that it is already commonly eaten in Mexico.

“This food crisis is real, and we must find solutions,” World Trade Organization Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said.

Back in December 2020, the World Economic Forum published two articles on its website which explored how people could be conditioned to get used to the idea of eating weeds, bugs and drinking sewage water in order to reduce CO2 emissions.

Earlier this year, Vanderbilt University Professor Amanda Little argued that everyone in the world needs to start dining on insects and that the EU’s approval of them conferred a form of “dignity” to their consumption.

Lavrov Accuses Ukraine Of Drawing Outside Countries Into War - US Missiles A 'Direct Provocation'

from Zero Hedge, 1 June 2022

In some of the Kremlin's strongest words yet denouncing Western arms shipments, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warned Ukraine that newly ramped up arms transfers including US missile systems being sent to Kiev risks drawing a third country into the war.

In the Wednesday statements, he accused Ukraine of seeking to involve outside countries, and slammed the missile transfer as marking a 'direct provocation'. His words come on the heels of Biden on Tuesday night announcing longer range missile systems for Ukraine, which however likely can't reach Russian territory, given they are short to "medium range" systems. Moscow previously called the White House's expressed desire to avoid direct confrontation with Russia a "rational" policy.

But Lavrov took the opportunity to warn hawks both in the US and Europe: "I will say it frankly: not everyone in the European Union, especially in 220601/lavrov-slams-kievs-demands-for-foreign-mlrs-as-direct-provocation-1095922146.html">according

How Sanctions Have Increased Russia's Oil And Gas Revenue

By Robert Rapier of OilPrice.com

As I warned in my February article Russia Is A Major Supplier Of Oil To The U.S., Russia could potentially benefit from the sanctions on its oil exports. Although Russia hadn’t yet invaded Ukraine when I wrote that article, I warned that if it did:

“Russian sanctions would be put in place, potentially reducing the available oil supply in a tight market. If Russia could still sell all the oil it could produce to countries that refuse to abide by the sanctions, it might do well financially with an oil price spike.”

We now have data in hand to confirm that the subsequent sanctions on Russia’s oil are in fact boosting Russia’s oil revenues:

New data! #Russia's oil and gas revenues hit another record high in April. 1.8 trillion rubles in a single month, after 1.2 trillion in March. After only 4 months, Russia's federal #budget has now already received 50% of the planned oil and gas revenue for 2022 (9.5 trillion). pic.twitter.com/DKUGClchWG
— Janis Kluge (@jakluge) May 6, 2022

Although the U.S. has stopped buying Russian oil, the challenge remains that Russia is one of the largest global producers and exporters of oil. There is no way to completely remove Russian oil from the market without sending oil prices much higher — perhaps to $200 a barrel.

Further, as oil prices go higher it increases the appeal of Russia’s oil. Right now, China and India, for example, have tremendous incentive to buy discounted Russian oil.

In other words, it is a classic catch-22. In attempting to punish Russia by keeping its oil off the market, Russia is enjoying a net benefit of higher oil revenues.

That’s not to say that other sanctions aren’t having the desired impact. By all accounts, life is becoming more difficult in Russia due to the many sanctions that have been put in place.

But in a world that is still heavily dependent on oil, the only way to effectively impact Russia’s oil revenues is to reduce global dependence on oil. MORE ON RUSSIA - UKRAINE

‘Birthing Person’: UK Midwife Students Taught How to Deliver Babies Through ‘Male Genitalia’

Getty Images/Stock

A British university is reportedly instructing students studying to become midwives (since when was a university degree needed to be a midwife?) on how to deliver babies from a “birthing persons” with a penis.

Edinburgh Napier University's 'skills workbook' issued to midwifery BSc students has come under fire from the sane community in Scotland after it was revealed that students were instructed on how to assist biological males in giving birth. Now you might think that anybody sudying towards a degree in any of the natural or applied sciences would be aware that a biological male cannot give birth, but in the wonderful world of woke wankers such things are possible, you just have to make a wish and get Tinkerbellend to sprinkle fairy dust on the expectant mothers knob.

The teaching resource, copies of which which were obtained from students by the feminist website Reduxx, stated: “It is important to note that while most times the birthing person will have female genitalia, you may be caring for a pregnant or birthing person who is transitioning from male to female and may still have external male genitalia.”

The manual went on to instruct the midwifery students that they should be familiar with how to use catheters for “both female and male anatomy”. It added that because, they claimed, both men and women can give birth, it would be referring to those in labour as a “birthing person”.

The website noted that while the university later amended the instructions to “female to male” transgender patients instead of “male to female”, all the references to how to handle the penis and other parts of the male anatomy such as the prostate gland remained in the text.

It also inserted a section explaining that female to male transgender patients may have to give birth through an artificially constructed “penis” (and what are the dick of these chicks-with-dicks going to give birth to? Tadpoles? Have you ever taken a close look at the hole in the end of a willie? OK, now imagine getting a 7,6 or even 5 pound baby through that.

The woke lunacy of the guide was criticised by Elaine Miller of the Chartered Society for Physiotherapy, who noted that the instructions were biologically incoherent and warned of the potential negative side effects for transgender people attempting to give birth.

“It is not possible for a male person to get pregnant,” Miller said. “A [biological female] with a gender difference can become pregnant but will not have male genitalia.”

“Most [females] who use testosterone, at the doses used for ‘transition,’ will develop vaginal atrophy. The fragile tissue of an atrophied vagina may be unable to stretch to accommodate a baby’s head,” Miller added, noting that biological female transgender people may rip, suffering “new types of birth injury”.

Emeritus Professor in Obstetrics and Women’s Health at King’s College London, Dr Susan Bewley also took aim at the instructions, noting that many women who undergo transition surgery also undergo an hysterectomy and therefore physically can not give birth.

“These materials are the opposite of the high-quality training that patients need from midwives and doctors. The project may have arisen from compassion and enthusiasm, but it is worrying that the writers don’t seem to know, care about, or check facts.”

Not knowing or caring about facts as they rewrite the medical and scientific text books is typical of the scientific community of course, all these education hating charlatans care about is amassing enough 'woke' brownie points with politicians to ensure the research grants keep flowing and their easy, privileged lives continue.

Meanwhile as the politicisation of everything project rolls on, midwives across Britain have been told by a government-sponsored report from the LGBT Foundation that they should refrain from using gendered language, including phrases such as “breastfeeding” and “vaginal birth” to make transgender people feel more comfortable, LBC reported.

The report suggested using more inclusive phrases such as “chestfeeding” and “frontal or lower birth”. Doesn't it make you just want to get hold of the authors of this shite and keep punching their heads until brains run down their noses.

How Far Are We From Phasinging Out Coal?

A Long Long Way.

At Glasgow's COP26 conference last year, the leaders of 40 nations went though the meaningless biannual ritual of agreeing to phase coal out of their national energy policies in order to achieve the pointless and economically catastrophic for developed nations ambition of reaching 'net zero' on carbon emissions by the end of this century.

However, as Visual Capitalist's Bruno Venditti details below, despite all the grandiose pledges, in 2021 coal-fired electricity generation reached all-time highs globally, showing that eliminating coal from the energy mix is easily said but cannot be done simply by moving coal burning industries from the developed nations to emerging and third world economies.

The infographic below, from Elements Visual Capitalists shows the aggressive phase-out of coal power that would be required in order to reach net zero goals by 2050, based on an analysis by Ember that uses data provided by the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Low-Cost Energy Carries a High Environmental Cost

Coal-powered electricity production increased by 9.0% in 2021 to 10,042 Terawatt-hours (TWh), the biggest percentage rise since 1985.

The main reason for this reserugence of dear reliable Old King Coal is cost. Coal is the world’s most affordable energy fuel due to the energy intensity of this highly compressed form of carbon. Environmentalist doom mongers and the unwashed crusties of the anti fossil fuel movement claim that low-cost energy comes at a high cost for the environment, with coal being the largest source of energy-related CO2 emissions. This is unscientific bollocks. In the past coal was a cheap, dirty fuel that pumped many real pollutants as well as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) which is essential to the continuance of life, into the atmosphere.Throughout the 1970s and 80s however, coal powered industried cleaned up their act, introducing technologies to remove various pollutants from their emissions until only CO2, the essential building material for all carbon based life forms (and ALL life forms, on this planet at least, are carbon based,) remained for the habitual whingers and virtue signallers to whinge and virtue signal about.

China currently has the highest coal consumption, making up 54% of the world’s coal electricity generation. The country’s consumption jumped 12% between 2010 and 2020, despite coal making up a lower percentage of the country’s energy mix in relative terms and the ruling Chinese Communist Party has no plans to cease or slow down its building onf new coal fired power stations.

Together, China and India account for 66% of global coal consumption and emit about 35% of the world’s greenhouse gasses (GHG). If you add the United States to the mix, this goes up to 72% of coal consumption and 49% of GHGs.

According to the United Nations, emissions from current and planned fossil energy infrastructure are already more than twice the amount that would push the planet over 1.5°C of global heating, a level that scientists say could bring more intense heat, fire, storms, flooding, and drought than the present 1.2°C. This is calculated by scientists who, in the style of all modern science, look at output from mathematical models rather than empirical evidence. So far three decades worth of predictions based on mathematical models of reality have not produced one correct result.

The Transition to Renewables

According to The Science (that is the science of guesswork and wishful thinking,) Coal-powered electricity generation must fall by 13% every year until 2030 to achieve the Paris Agreement’s goals of keeping global heating to only 1.5 degrees.

To reach the mark, countries would need to speed up the shift from their current carbon-intensive pathways to unreliable and intermittent energy sources like wind and solar.

How fast the transition away from coal will be achieved depends on a complicated balance between carbon emissions cuts and maintaining economic growth, the latter of which is still largely dependent on coal power. It is possible of course that as a result of the energy crisis triggered by the war in Ukraine revealing just how dependent of fossil fuels the developed nations are, the politicians will come to their senses, sack their idiotic science advisers and fund development of clean coal powered generation technologies as well as returning to totally CO2 free, (but equally hated by the green wankers,) nuclear.

No-Go Zones: Prime Minister Admits to ‘Parallel Societies’ in Multicultural Sweden Following Qur’an Riots

JOHAN NILSSON/TT NEWS AGENCY/AFP via Getty Images

After several weeks of Islamist riotsingacross Sweden, triggered by nationalist groups burning copies of The Koran in protest at the Islamification of Swedish institutions, Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson surprised the nation when she admitted that there are now “parallel societies” within her country – the first time a European leader has acknowledged the existence of Europe’s infamous ‘no-go zones’.

*****

In response to Danish anti-Islam activist Rasmus Paludan and his followers burning a Qur’an earlier this month, widespread riots engulfed the Scandinavian country, with places like Malmo, Linköping, Norrköping, and Rinkeby seeing days of violence over the Easter weekend in which over 100 police officers were injured.

Commenting on the growing unrest among the Muslim population of Sweden, which has surged significantly as a result of the pro-migration policies since the height of European Migrant Crisis in 2015-16, Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said on Thursday that there are “strong forces that are ready to go to great lengths to harm our society.”

“Segregation has been allowed to go so far that Sweden now has parallel societies,” Andersson said according to Aftonbladet. “We live in the same country but in completely different realities.”

“Integration has been too poor while we have had large-scale migration. Society has also been too weak,” she went on to admit.

Currently around one-fifth of the population, or two million people, in Sweden were born abroad, with more coming from migration-background families.

After years of negative impacts on social cohesion, the government has sought to enact stricter migration controls, such as placing limits on those seeking permanent residency.

The admissions from the leftist prime minister represent one of the closest acknowledgements from the government as to the actual existence of migrant-dominated no-go zones in Sweden.

Bill Gates Developing Virus & Vaccine For Next Pandemic, Wants Global Surveillance Pact with W.H.O. Travk Vaccine Refusniks

We, The Resistance, need to start preparing our campaign tactics now for the appearance of “even more fatal” variants of coronavirus in the future. The warning can be taken as implicit in the latest megalomaniacal babblings from billionaire psychopath and wannabe Emperor of The Universe Bill Gates, who revealed in a talk on Sunday 1 May, that international health surveillance through technology and massive, propaganda led vaccination campaigns to be developed by increased funding for the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) is one way to forestall pandemic outbreaks.

The Microsoft founder said, somewhat ridiculously, he did not want to sound “doom and gloom” but did exactly that in warning there was a risk an “even more transmissive and even more fatal” variant could be generated. This could safely be taken as an admission that biotech firms owned by The Gates Foundation are already simultaneously developing the virus that will drive this pandemic and the vaccines that will serve to make people with functioning immune systems vulnerable to the genetically engineered virus.

Gates told the Financial Times (FT) in an interview the risk of that happening is “way above five per cent” and would mean the world has yet to see the worst of the pandemic, if his predictions are correct (or even coherent would be a good start.).

He also cautioned that while the war in Ukraine dominates the international agenda, global leaders should not to lose sight of the health crisis, even as he flies around the world relentlessly lecturing about climate issues. Again this sounds like an announcement that his teams of mad scientists are already working on plans for the new pandemic.

Calling for greater investment to prevent future pandemics, Gates told the FT “It seems wild to me that we could fail to look at this tragedy and not, on behalf of the citizens of the world, make these investments.”

He acknowledged there were questions over whether an international consensus could be reached to increase funding for W.H.O. at its base in Geneva, Switzerland. However, The most pertinent question, how can Gates be so certain another, even more deadly pandemic caused by a news COVID variant is on the way if he is not involved in planning it, was not raised.

How many more young lives will be sacrificed on Gates’s vaccine altar?
It’s remarkable that the man who has become the unelected global health czar and population control advocate is not being questioned on his past more closely. Though we are living through a crisis predicted by Gates and a response triggered and bankrolled by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which are driving us towards a vaccination and biometric ID solution which Gates has been working on for years, he’s still regarded as a benign philanthropist.

Swedish Prime Minister Says Integration Has Failed After Migrant Riots

Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News,

Sweden’s failure to properly integrate large numbers of migrants has led to the creation of parallel societies and gang violence, according to left-wing Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson.

Andersson made the comments in the aftermath of nationwide riots by migrant gangs over the Easter weekend that left a hundred police officers wounded.

Sweden’s approach to Islamic extremism and its failings in accommodating large numbers of migrants is the primary cause of the disorder, according to the Prime Minister.

“Segregation has gone so far that we have parallel societies in Sweden. We live in the same country, but different realities,” said Andersson.
“Integration was poor, and alongside, we have experienced intense immigration. Our society was too weak, while money for the police and social services too little,” she added.

As we previously highlighted, German media outlets responded to violent riots in Sweden mainly involving Muslim migrants by claiming the unrest occurred as a result of “right-wing demos.”

Ukrainian refugees also expressed the desire to avoid being sent to Sweden, feeling that it was too unsafe.

Having been one of the safest countries in Europe 20 years ago before mass uncontrolled immigration, Sweden is now the continent’s second most dangerous in terms of gun crime behind only Croatia.

Last year, Germany’s Bild newspaper ran the headline: ‘Sweden is the most dangerous country in Europe.’

Shootings in Sweden hit a record high last year as authorities are increasingly unable to contain migrant gang crime. There were 46 homicides committed in 335 shootings across the country, with most of them occurring in the migrant hotspots of Malmö, Gothenburg, and Stockholm.

“Swedish residents born in another country have doubled to 2 million in the last two decades, and immigrants now represent one-fifth of all people living in this Scandinavian country, a far higher rate than neighboring countries like Finland, Norway, and Denmark, which have all taken a harder line against immigration,” reports RMX News.

“For the past 40 years, the prime minister’s social democrats have been in power for 28 years, including the last eight.

The Lies of Davos, Runaway Food Prices and Global Starvation

Authored by J. Kim via substack

in mid-2021, corn had already nearly doubled in price and wheat had soared almost 40%. This was well before any of the bankers started blaming Russia for soaring wheat and corn staples because of the Russia invasion of Ukraine at the end of February of this year. This should clearly show the absurd obscenity of the Central Banker narrative of blaming ongoing mass global starvation on the Russians. Over a year ago, I could not have been more explicit in explaining that Central Bankers’ massive devaluations of fiat currency purchasing power along with the establishments’ immoral covid lockdowns were the primary culprits, not those “evil” Russians, were responsible for “imped[ing] the ability of hundreds of millions around the world that most desperately need to work to purchase food, [thus creating] a lethal combination [of] mass hunger and starvation.”

And if the above referenced chart doesn’t convince you that Central Bankers were the primary cause of life-squeezing inflation around the world well before the Russians invaded Ukraine, then just take a look at another chart I compiled which clearly illustrates the runaway inflation in the US and the incredible shrinking dollar since 1975. Are the Central Bankers going to blame the below runaway prices on the Russians too?

A larger chart of the above is available here

Furthermore, those incredibly naïve and ignorant masses that believe the banker-controlled mass media narratives that the Russians are to blame for mass starvation around the world have little to zero knowledge about the true price mechanisms of major food staples, and instead, believe the garbage they learned in their MBA business programs about this topic. For example, most among us are unaware that global grain distribution is widely controlled in monopolistic fashion by just four companies - Archer-Daniels Midland, Bunge, Cargill, and Dreyfus – and due to this monopoly, that these companies can conspire to heavily influence the prices of the world’s major food staples.

In fact, all of these companies retain grain reserves that they could release to ease soaring prices and to help the starving, but for obvious reasons, safeguard and do not publicly disclose this information. Due to the sole purpose of global companies to maximize shareholder value, it behooves these companies to artificially push prices as high as possible at all times, even if such actions lead to mass starvation around the world. Since the data regarding their grain reserves remains unknown, I’m not claiming that these companies engage in this type of immoral behavior, but it’s quite obvious that they would maximize shareholder value by doing so, and doing so quite frequently.

It requires only a modicum of knowledge about industry wide practices to imagine that these four companies employ similar methodologies of creating artificially higher food prices to the alleged methodologies employed by JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs bankers in artificially driving aluminum prices higher before offloading them for massive profits. For many years, those companies that needed aluminum supply alleged that Wall Street bankers were artificially driving prices up by multiples of a free market price by hoarding aluminum in non-publicly disclosed warehouses and refusing to allow millions of tons of aluminum to enter the market. Other billionaires around the world have done the same with metals and grains, with China’s hoarding of aluminum and soybeans to artificially drive prices higher well documented. Of course, all behavior of this type is morally repugnant, but the mass media continuously compartmentalizes its judgment about such behavior by absolving all Westerners of such behavior while condemning all those in non-NATO nations that do the same. In other words, mass media journalists lack any moral compass and seem to think that moral repugnancy does not cross transnational borders from East to West, from South to North, and that moral repugnancy only dwells in the Eastern and Southern hemispheres and in developing nations.

How Sanctions Have Increased Russia's Oil And Gas Revenue

By Robert Rapier of OilPrice.com

“Russian sanctions would be put in place, potentially reducing the available oil supply in a tight market. If Russia could still sell all the oil it could produce to countries that refuse to abide by the sanctions, it might do well financially with an oil price spike.”

We now have data in hand to confirm that the subsequent sanctions on Russia’s oil are in fact boosting Russia’s oil revenues:

New data! #Russia's oil and gas revenues hit another record high in April. 1.8 trillion rubles in a single month, after 1.2 trillion in March. After only 4 months, Russia's federal #budget has now already received 50% of the planned oil and gas revenue for 2022 (9.5 trillion). pic.twitter.com/DKUGClchWG
— Janis Kluge (@jakluge) May 6, 2022

Further, as oil prices go higher it increases the appeal of Russia’s oil. Right now, China and India, for example, have tremendous incentive to buy discounted Russian oil.

In other words, it is a classic catch-22. In attempting to punish Russia by keeping its oil off the market, Russia is enjoying a net benefit of higher oil revenues.

That’s not to say that other sanctions aren’t having the desired impact. By all accounts, life is becoming more difficult in Russia due to the many sanctions that have been put in place.

But in a world that is still heavily dependent on oil, the only way to effectively impact Russia’s oil revenues is to reduce global dependence MORE ON RUSSIA - UKRAINE

Is Monkeypox Another Scamdemic Brought To You By The People Who Created COVID?

05/25/2022 / By Ethan Huff, News Target

Monkeypox is another simulation SCAM brought to us by the same psychopaths who unleashed covid

Last year, an international biosecurity conference was held in Munich that simulated a “global pandemic involving an unusual strain of monkeypox.” And guess when monkeypox was scheduled to appear on the world stage? Mid-May 2022.

Just like Bill Gates’ Event 201 pandemic simulation exercise announced the novel coronavirus just months before it appeared, this simulation exercise in Munich predictively programmed monkeypox a few months before it started appearing in the media.

Attendees at the conference were told that by May 15, 2022, monkeypox would appear out of nowhere and begin spreading. At first, the fallout would be minimal, but by January 10, 2023, the death toll is scheduled to reach 1.3 million people. And by the end of 2023, hundreds of millions of people will be dead from monkeypox.

By the end of 2022, it is to be revealed that the unusual monkeypox strain in circulation is resistant to all vaccines. This is to add more fear and paranoia surrounding the virus, allowing “national responses” that likely include even more medical tyranny than what was seen throughout the covid plandemic.

The supply chain will continue to degrade throughout this time, only to culminate in mass chaos and destruction that will be blamed on a “terror group,” the simulation revealed. “Infiltration of a civilian bio lab” will be dubbed the cause of the new global monkeypox plandemic.

“Monkeypox was first identified in 1958, but there’s never been a global Monkeypox outbreak outside of Africa until now – in the exact week of the exact month predicted by the biosecurity folks in their pandemic simulation,” writes Michael P. Senger on his Substack blog. “Take these guys to Vegas!” ... Continue reading >>>

Letting Sweden and Finland Join Nato Will Only Increase The Threat To European Security

Shortly before his re-election in 2012, President Obama was caught in an open mic moment assuring Russian surrogate president Dmitry Medvedev that, Obama, he would have total control over the location of Nato missiles once he was back in the White House for another four years.

Obama asked Medvedev to pass this on to Vladimir Putin, then poised to begin a second spell as Russian President. The American President hinted that he believed Moscow’s security grievances about NATO expansion were legitimate.

The Obama administration went on to engineer the coup which overthrew the pro-Russian government of Ukraine in 2014 and replaced them with a far right, Russophobic loose coalition of nationalists, EU supporters and neo - Nazis. Fearing that Ukraine might join NATO as Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Chechia, Hungary, Romania and several other Warsaw Pact nations had. Once back in charge Putin seized Ukrainian Crimea, allegedly in retaliation for the new Ukrainan government's persecution of Russian speaking minorities in Ukraine and to secure Russian control of Sebastapol, the main base of his Black Sea navy.

We question the mainstream narrative's claim that the annexation of Crimea was 'In retaliation' for anything. As this blog's contributors understand the history of that event the Russian speaking occupants of Crimea that voted to re-establish their direct connection to Russia, with 90% expressing the wish to be part of Russia rather than the new Ukraine. Was Putin going to refuse such a gift?

It seems mainstream media are looking sideways at each other as to how to spin the current situation in Ukraine, as it clearly is not following their narrative upheld so vehemently for so long. Militarily Russia holds a winning hand. Politically there are 'Jokers' in the pack, supported by a West that has an inbred hatred of anything Russian that stems from even before the 'Cold War'.

There is much the West did not understand about Ukraine in 2014 and still does not understand now:

https://tapnewswire.com/202...

After making warlike noises Obama accepted Putin's fait accompli rather than risk conflict with Russia over NATO expansionism. Instead, a low-level war broke out in eastern Ukraine where the Russian-speaking majority sought autonomy.

Dribbling, demented Joe Biden took office inheriting from both Obama and Donald Trump a source of permanent discord that Moscow called an existential threat which it would not tolerate.

Although he has mainly followed his mentor’s policies, something changed in the attitude to Putin of Biden’s foreign policy team, most of whom had served under Obama and had shied from confrontation over Crimea. The thinking seemed to have become some version of: let’s neutralise the Russians by just ignoring them.

As a result of his inability to force the US into serious negotiations, Putin has waged war on Ukraine since February. The Obama doctrine of caution has been replaced by a gauntlet thrown down to Putin.

Now that the Swedes and Finns have sumitted their applications to join NATO,only Turkey’s threatened veto can prevent them, and once they sign up to the mutual defence treaty a line will have been crossed that will not be acceptable to Russian foreign policy or military strategy officials.

Admitting them to the alliance adds 800 miles of Finnish border with Russia for the potential deployment of Nato missiles and troops. It pushes Putin deeper into confrontation with the west and seriously complicates the prospect of ending the war in Ukraine soon.

How far does Nato expect Putin to swallow this enlargement on top of the one he is fighting in Ukraine to prevent? To what extent do we in the West trust in the ability of Biden to force him to do so without risking an incalculable wider conflict?

As the threat of escalation beyond Ukraine's bordersd mounts between NATO and Russia, it is clear that Biden blundered badly last year when he paid scant attention to Putin’s attempts to force the US into constructive talks, backed up with a military mobilisation on the Ukrainian border.

The Presidents held two summits in 2021 with Ukraine on the agenda. They met in person in Geneva in June and conferred by video conference in December without apparent progress.

The same month, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov formally laid out Moscow’s basic demands for the withdrawal of Nato forward forces from alliance members bordering Russia and irreversible denial of Nato membership to Ukraine.

When US and Russian envoys met in Geneva in January, the Americans said no more than that some of Nato’s deployments might be discussed but refused to budge on Ukraine. Since there was no follow-up, Putin struck into Ukraine on February 24. His forces are now sitting on their gains, undeterred by sanctions and the supply of western weapons and military hardware so that the Krazies in Kiev can keep the war going.

While the entire West accused the Russians of unprovoked aggression, even Pope Francis suggested to the Corriere della Sera that it may have overreached. He said the ‘barking of NATO at Russia’s door’ may have forced Putin to invade after parading his army so demonstrably on the border.

It is possible that this is exactly what Washington wanted all along, knowing in advance how much resistance the Ukrainians, whom they advised and armed, were prepared to put up. When the war began, US media quoted an anonymous US official as saying that ‘now we’ve got him where we want him’ – clearly an unprovoked aggressor, depending on how the lack of provocation was defined in a broader context.

In fact the Russian incursion into Ukrainian territory has been marked by its restraint. Where western military interventions have been typified by heavy, indiscriminate missile and artillery bombardment, air strikes and carpet bombing, Russia's formidable air force has stayed on the ground and attacks by ground forces have been focused on cities known to be strongholds of the anti - Russian Azov regiments.

The real danger here is that Putin's restraint is being seen as weakness. Driven only by money and power, as the globalists are - without a moral value to be seen, and the dribbling Biden is of course their creature - the idea of conducting hostilities with a view to minimising civilian casualties is simply not understood.

Had Putin conducted a blitzkreig on Galicia and reduced the place to ashes the queue to join NATO would not be there. The danger is that this failure to see the values driving the Russian position will eventually result in a reaction of massive reaction. The defeat of Ukraine is already a reality - no amount of war - glorifying propaganda or media yapping will alter that, and our disgusting Johnson regime has shamed every Briton and the name of humanity with its toadying to the globalist agenda.

What happens is that countries like Finland and Sweden ask to join NATO because they are scared of Russia smashing them up as it is now doing to Ukraine.

Has Russia the manpower or resources to do that ? I do not think so. It looks like a fantasy to me. Both countries have an excellent army and are well prepared. To attack Russia would have to have won in Ukraine and rebuilt it's army. In the case of Sweden I fail to grasp why they have given up decades of neutrality. Other than the way the Europeans seem now to be driven by emotion rather than common sense.

Everything suits China now. The West is weak and financially bankrupt. The sanctioning of Russia and the seizure of Russian overseas reserves might have been ordered by the CCP. It was dumb.

China can now tell the unaligned world that the West is untrustworthy. The target for now is the removal of the USD as the reserve currency. If the petrodollar can be removed all the better. We are in danger. Not from China which has no need for a war to obtain dominance but from an angered US watching it's position in the world undermined.

The Democrat administration in Washington is a bunch of idiots who think their mission is to impose 'woke' ideology on the world, led by a President in the middle stages of dementia who is unable to grasp the simplest concept of strategy. In Europe we have completely given up on rational thought. Boris Johnson is an embarrassment but no more so than any other Nato leader.

'Russia was not a European threat until Nato asked Ukraine to join'
Technically speaking NATO does not issue invitations to prospective new members. But the governments of some individual members do encourage the governments of some non-members to apply to join, a process that is probably with the approval of NATO officials.

The US and UK wanted and schemed for exactly this to happen. Good for their MICs, OGMCs and bad for Europe, in particular Germany.

What's not to like?

Unfortunately they 'forgot' that Russia would then team up with China, India&co and that their illegal confiscations would lead to de-dollarization and its serious consequences.
Finland&Sweden going into NATO will only have one security consequence, the same as bases in Eastern Europe have: an increased risk of an accidental nuclear launch.
As for the idiotic, suicidal politicians, media and public in Europe and in particular Germany, who cannot or do not want to see that they are just being fleeced and taken for a ride by the Americans and Brits who have opposing national intetests here, they can't be helped.

NATO was established to counter the threat of the Soviet Union's Warsaw Pact. When the Soviet Union fell apart between 1989-1991 that threat was removed. A diminished Russia posed no real threat in terms of expansionism, so NATO became a force for globalist imperialism, expanded remorselessly and mercilessly crushed any regime that became an obstacle to its geolpolitical ambitions. The idea that any Russian leader would accept the loss of his main naval port is insane. Talk of admitting Ukraine into NATO was nothing other than an outright declaration of war against Russia.

News Roundup 11 May 2022

‘Experts Über Alles’: The Authoritarian ‘Rule By Experts’

Via The Daily Bell

Technocratic “experts” run the prison-planet yard now – not duly elected representatives of the people as one might expect in a representative republic. Democratic institutions are merely window dressing.

Whether the issue is COVID lockdowns or central banking monopolies pushing for central banking digital currencies to replace Bitcoin, it’s the same top-down, fascist decision-making dynamic.

The problem with the budding technocracy is that, under the auspices of a “democratic” process that theoretically requires public discourse and consensus, things are liable to get messy.

Even with intensive planning, there are too many variables — and too much public distrust in the lying “experts” divining The Science© as the new priest class — to fully control a planned civilizational collapse. If they’re held accountable for their actions, justifying their nonsensical policy shifts is impossible, even for the craftiest PR pro. Hence the need for constant vagueries like “The Science changed©” in the absence of convincing arguments.

Why not bypass the whole “democracy” charade, and limit the risk of the political and economic power consolidation process backfiring? And smooth out the process with an industrialized technocratic ethos instead?

That’s what the World Economic Forum is for– to “penetrate the cabinets” of Western states.

Here is WEF head Klaus Schwab bragging about commandeering governments across the Western world:

“What we are very proud of, is that we penetrate the global cabinets of countries with our WEF Young Global Leaders.”

The central function of the WEF is to facilitate the erection of a global technocracy – administered by “experts” — to render goals manageable that would otherwise be exceedingly unwieldy, if not impossible, to achieve in a free society.

‘Scientists must be free to communicate without politicians’ spin’

Via The Guardian:

“Today, researchers recognise it is not enough just to do great science – they must also communicate its implications… public trust in government would be enhanced if… government trusted the scientific community to act independently and responsibly. “

The intended effect is to disqualify laypeople, politician and non-politician alike – the 99.9% of the population that doesn’t have an advanced science degree – from challenging the assertions of the technocrats. The average person is barred from contributing to policy formation on the grounds that they don’t have the requisite technical knowledge.

What makes this power grab by The Science© so insidious is that they leverage the public’s rightful disdain for, and distrust of, existing government institutions as justification for a silent coup d’état.

Confidential Pfizer Docs. reveal 90% of Covid Vaccinated Pregnant Women lost their Baby; but Pfizer claimed: “No safety signals emerged”

from The Daily Expose

The confidential Pfizer documents that the FDA have been forced to publish by court order reveal that 82% to 97% of women who were mistakenly exposed to the mRNA Covid-19 injection either suffered a miscarriage or suffered having to witness the death of their newborn child upon giving birth.

But Pfizer claimed – “There were no safety signals that emerged from the review of these cases of use in pregnancy”.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) attempted to delay the release of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine safety data for 75 years despite approving the injection after only 108 days of safety review on December 11th, 2020.

But in early January 2022, Federal Judge Mark Pittman ordered them to release 55,000 pages per month. They released 12,000 pages by the end of January.

Since then, PHMPT has posted all of the documents on their website. The latest drop happened on May 2nd 2022.

One of the documents contained in the data dump is ‘reissue_5.3.6 postmarketing experience.pdf’. Page 12 of the confidential document contains data on the use of the Pfizer Covid-19 injection in pregnancy and lactation.

Pfizer state in the document that by 28th February 2021 there were 270 known cases of exposure to the mRNA injection during pregnancy.

Rise of EVs risks wave of ‘catastrophic’ shipping fires

The Telgeaph:

The increasing demand for electric cars risks causing a wave of fires on cargo ships as they are not designed to carry lithium batteries safely, a major insurer has warned.

Bigger vessels carrying as many as 8,000 vehicles at a time concentrate the risk of fire from lithium batteries which are generally safe, but can heat up and combust if faulty.

The warning comes two months after a car carrier caught fire and sank into the Atlantic, taking with it 4,000 Volkswagen vehicles including Porches and luxury Bentley vehicles.

Older ships are fitted with fire containment systems that were not designed to cope with chemical fires, a report on shipping losses by insurer Allianz cautions.

They are also often open plan allowing fires to spread quickly, while tight margins in the industry mean safety protocols can be rushed or forgotten, the report by the firm's industrial insurance wing Global Corporate & Specialty said.

The report said: “Lithium batteries are an emerging risk for both container ships and car carriers, which are transporting growing numbers of electric vehicles, given existing counter-measure systems may not respond effectively in the event of a blaze.”

The Felicity Ace caught fire in February, forcing the evacuation of its 22 crew to the nearby Azores islands. It was travelling from Emden in Germany to Davisville, Rhode Island before catching fire. Attempts to bring the blaze under control were in vain and it sank in March.

We risk creating an Orwellian thought police

Britain and the US are forgetting that censorship is never the right answer to disinformation

Melanie Phillips

Monday May 09 2022, 9.00pm, The Times

Everyone knows about fake news, or the substitution of propaganda for information. Everyone also knows that there is much harmful material online which targets and preys upon vulnerable people.

There is, however, no general agreement on what constitutes such harm or fake information. So attempts to combat these developments are not only difficult but may end up doing even more harm than they aim to prevent.

In Britain, the Online Safety Bill going through parliament is designed to deal with bad stuff such as promotional terrorist videos, images of child abuse or sites encouraging suicide that online platforms have failed to curb. There are, however, concerns that the bill’s category of “material risk of significant harms” is subjective and open to abuse. Continue reading >>>

New UK government data shows the COVID vaccines kill more people than they save

from Blacklisted News

I've been asking everyone: Show me the all-cause mortality data proving the vaccines are safe. I finally got some data. It's from the UK government and it's devastating. REALLY devastating.

Mortality in Ukraine Over the Last 25 years: How Many Deaths Could Have Been Avoided | VoxUkraine

Overview

New UK government data allows us to analyze the data in a way we couldn’t before. This new analysis shows clearly that the COVID vaccines kill more people than they save for all age groups. In other words, they shouldn’t be used by anyone. The younger you are, the less sense it makes.

Anyone can validate the data and methodology. The results make it clear that the COVID vaccines should be halted immediately.

If the vaccines really work, then why hasn’t any government anywhere in the world produced a proper risk-benefit analysis that shows the opposite result?

If the vaccines work, then why do all the lines in Figure 6 below show that Dose 1 and Dose 2 of the vaccines kill more people than they save?

Not a single public health authority in any country will have a conversation with us on the record to justify their vaccine recommendations by producing an all-cause risk benefit analysis similar to what I computed here. I wonder why?

What the data shows

Here’s the result of the analysis comparing unvaxxed vs. 2 doses given at least 6 months ago. I believe this analysis is conservative and the actual numbers are worse than this due to the seasonal variation of the all-cause mortality ...Continue reading >>>

Vladimir Putin ‘gearing up for a prolonged war and will not stop at Donbas’

from Daily Telegraph

Russian leader’s retreat from Kyiv was ‘temporary shift’ and he is likely counting on Western resolve weakening, warns US intelligence chief

By Nick Allen in Washington and Dominic Nicholls, Defence and Security Editor 10 May 2022

Vladimir Putin is counting on a weakening of the West’s resolve as the cost of living crisis bites while he pursues a protracted war in Ukraine, Washington’s top spy chief warned.

Avril Haines, the US director of national intelligence, said that the Russian leader’s decision to retreat from Kyiv and focus on the eastern Donbas region was only a “temporary shift to regain the initiative” and he maintained broader territorial ambitions.

She said it was becoming a “war of attrition” with little “viable” hope of peace, and a Russian victory in Donbas may not end the war, with Putin determined to build a land bridge all the way to Transnistria, the pro-Russian enclave in Moldova.

Ms Haines, who oversees Joe Biden’s daily intelligence briefing, said that she expected Russia’s GDP to fall by 10 per cent, possibly more, over the course of the year.

However, she said there was an increasing likelihood that Putin would mobilise his entire country, potentially ordering martial law.

The top US intelligence official said: “Putin most likely judges that Russia has a greater ability, and willingness, to endure challenges than his adversaries, and he is probably counting on US and EU resolve to weaken as food shortages, inflation and energy prices get worse.

“We assess President Putin is preparing for a prolonged conflict in Ukraine during which he still intends to achieve goals beyond the Donbas.”Continue reading >>>

Government Planning Crackdown on Crazy Climate Protesters After Activists Caused Fuel Shortages

The UK government are pushing for new laws which will allow them to crack down on disruptive protests shortly after climate crazy activists caused fuel shortages in England.

Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party government appear to have militant climate crazies in their sights despite the state’s own overwhelming pro-green bias, as they push for new laws which would allow them to crack down on extremely disruptive protests.

The new bill, which would see many methods employed by hardline climate protesters outlawed, will also contain a number of measures which had been stripped from a previous policing bill by members of the House of Commons, likely to the chagrin of its architect, Home Secretary Priti Patel.

According to a report by broadcaster Sky News, the new bill is in direct response to climate protesters from groups such as “Extinction Rebellion” and “Just Stop Oil” which caused massive fuel shortages at English gas pumps by fastening themselves to essential infrastructure including oil refineries and tanker trucks with glue and other methods.

“The law-abiding, responsible majority have had enough of anti-social, disruptive protests carried out by a self-indulgent minority who seem to revel in causing mayhem and misery for the rest of us,” the outlet reports Patel as saying regarding the various new offences, which are set to carry up to a year in prison and fines with no upper cap.

“The Public Order Bill will give the police the powers they need to clamp down on this outrageous behaviour and ensure the British public can go about their lives without disruption,” she went on to say.

Bill Gates Now Says COVID Disease Of Elderly, Low Fatality Rate And Kind Of Like The Flu

Recently, Bill Gates said COVID is kind of like the flu and called it the disease of elderly people with low fatality but eventually hedged.

Bill Gates Now Says COVID Disease Of Elderly, Low Fatality Rate And Kind Of Like The Flu 1

Bill Gates is not an immunologist and does not even appear as one on television.

However, through his philanthropic foundation, the billionaire co-founder of Microsoft has immersed himself in the study of the world’s issues and donated billions of dollars to combat the spread of malaria in Africa. People pay attention when he speaks, which makes what he said regarding COVID-19 last week intriguing.

“It wasn’t until early February, when I was in a meeting, that experts of the foundation, said ‘there’s no way’” that COVID-19 could have been contained, he said.

“At that point, we didn’t really understand the fatality rate. We didn’t understand that it’s a fairly low fatality rate, and that it’s a disease mainly of the elderly, kind of like the flu, although it’s a bit different than that,” Gates said. ... Continue reading >>>

As the war in Ukraine cripples western economies the global power balance slides further to the east

authored by Quoth The Raven, Fringe Finance

Russia Is Returning To The Gold Standard And China Is Going To Be Next

The most profound seismic shift in the global monetary bedrock in decades is happening right before our eyes, and no one seems to notice or care. Eventually, they will have to.

No sooner was it that I wrote an article talking about how Russia was going to back the ruble with gold than “one of the Russia’s most powerful security/intelligence officers and a close ally of Putin” has admitted the country’s intentions to do just that.

And I’m predicting that no sooner will the gravity of this decision finally sink in with the West that China will follow closely in Russia’s footsteps and do the same.

Russia backing its currency with gold represents one of the most drastic changes to the foreign currency market in decades. As of 2022, precisely zero countries still adhere to a gold standard, though many countries still hold gold in reserve.

**Gold reserves of largest gold holding countries worldwide as of March 2022****(in metric tons) / Statista**

The new global monetary system is likely going to look like Russia, China, India, Saudi Arabia and other countries with commodity-backed, sound money on one side - and the west and our allies, with our “infinite” fiat, under the tutelage of rocket surgeon Neel Kashkari, on the other.

Despite the enormity of the situation, the news hasn’t really been digested by global markets yet. The FX market has been relatively calm, but for the ruble strengthening, and gold prices have crashed so far this week, with front month futures falling nearly $50/oz. on Monday, back down to about $1,860/oz.

Today’s content is free, but if you enjoy it and have the means to support the blog, I’d be humbled by your subscription:

Aside from the FX market, the news also hasn’t been digested by US politicians or financial “thought leaders” yet.

However, there are underground rumblings starting to catch the ears of those who are actively listening. Ronan Manly wrote for BullionStar.com last week:

On Tuesday 26 April in an interview with newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta (RG), the Secretary of the Russian Federation’s Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev, said that Russian experts are working on a project to back the Russian ruble with gold and other commodities.

Manly was kind enough to translate the interview with RG, which stated Russia’s intentions to back the ruble with gold in crystal clear fashion:

RG Question: And what do we need to do to ensure the ruble’s sovereignty?
Nikolai Patrushev: “For any national financial system to be sovereignized, its means of payment must have intrinsic value and price stability, without being pegged to the dollar.
Now experts are working on a project proposed by the scientific community to create a two-circuit monetary and financial system.
In particular, it is proposed to determine the value of the ruble, which should be backed by both gold and a group of goods that are currency values, and to put the ruble exchange rate in line with the real purchasing power parity.”

Manly concludes, matter-of-factly:

So there you have it. The Russian Government is actively working on creating a gold and commodity backed Russian ruble with intrinsic value which is outside the orbit of the US dollar.
…
What we are seeing now is Nikolai Patrushev and the Kremlin confirming this simple equation of linking the Russian ruble to gold and commodities. In other words, the beginning of a multilateral gold and commodity backed monetary system, i.e. Bretton Woods III.

The Triumph of Natual Immunity - We Told You So

Since early in 2020 this blog has been trying to expose the lies and and propaganda of the people behind the COVID pandemic scam and reporting the work of independent researchers whose finding consistently reported that COVID posed only a minor threat to people with healthy immune systems.

We, and others pursuing the same objective and unbiased line of enquiry were called conspiracy theorists. Wl once again it turns out that the conspiracy theorists were right.

The Triumph of Natural Immunity

By Martin Kulldorff May 6, 2022 Public Health, Vaccines 4 minute read

A new CDC study shows that around 75% of American children – and nearly 60% of adults – have already had covid. That means that they have strong natural immunity that protects them from covid infections as they get older. Despite this, the CDC, the FDA and other government agencies are pushing all of them to get vaccinated.

Why?

One important role of public health agencies during a pandemic is to conduct seroprevalence studies to determine how many people have developed antibodies to the disease from having been infected. That way we understand how the disease has spread and how it varies geographically and among different age groups. Spain did such a large, randomized survey early during the pandemic while Sweden did a series of smaller randomized surveys at regular intervals.

In the United States, this important task was left to individual scientists, but they only had resources to conduct small surveys in a limited area such as the Santa Clara County Study. The CDC has now finally got its act together with a national survey. The results are illuminating.

In April 2020, the Santa Clara study showed that 3% of its population had been infected. In February 2022, the CDC study shows that at least 58% percent of Americans have had covid, as evidenced by their anti-nucleocapsid antibodies, which are produced due to infections but not the vaccines. The numbers vary by age.

What does this mean? We know that natural immunity after covid recovery provides excellent protection against future infections, and while covid will be with us for the rest of our lives, it will be something that our immune system will cope with in the way it is handling the other four widely circulating coronaviruses.

It means that we are now transitioning from the pandemic stage to the endemic stage, and we will eventually reach herd immunity, the end point of every pandemic no matter what strategy is used.

Given these numbers, why are the CDC, the FDA and the government pushing hard for all children to get vaccinated against covid? Why are some schools and universities mandating covid vaccines for children and young adults? The majority already have superior natural immunity.

All of them are at minuscule risk from dying from covid even if they have not had it, a risk that is smaller than dying from any of a whole range of other causes such as motor vehicle accidents, drowning, homicide, suicide, drug overdoses or cancer. While anyone can get infected, there is more than a thousand-fold difference in covid mortality between older and younger people.

To sell a drug or a vaccine, we require pharmaceutical companies to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to show that it works to prevent serious health outcomes or death. Pfizer and Moderna have not done that. For adults they only showed a reduction in symptomatic disease.

To remedy this, a recent Danish study used the RCTs to evaluate all-cause mortality. For every 100 who die in the placebo group, there are 103 deaths among mRNA vaccinees, with a 95% confidence interval of 63 to 171. This contrasts with the adenovirus-vector vaccines (AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson), with 37 deaths among the vaccinees (95% CI: 19-70).

For children, we do not even have this. The randomized covid vaccine trials show that they can prevent mild disease in children without a prior covid infection, but from observational studies we know that this protection wanes rapidly. The RCTs also show that the vaccines generate antibodies in children, but 75% of American children already have superior antibodies from natural infection. ... Continue reading >>>

Vladimir Putin to undergo cancer treatment, handover power to Nikolai Patrushev: via Times of India

MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin might need to undergo cancer surgery while handing over power to the secretary of the country's security council Nikolai Patrushev media reports from Moscow have claimed.

Putin has been told by doctors that he must undergo an operation, Times of India reported, citing a Telegram channel run by a former Russian Intelligence Servive lieutenant general. The anticipated surgery and recovery are expected to incapacitate the Russian leader for a short time the report said.

Referring to Putin's supposedly sickly appearance and uncharacteristically fidgetty behaviour in public in recent times the report said that the Russian President has been rumoured to suffer from cancer, Parkinson's disease and a host of other serious maladies. However a US State Department official said the reports could not be verified.
