Brazil: Communists Caught on Camera Conducting Acts of Terror In Bid To Discredit Nationalist Leader Bolsonaro

An almost complete news blackout from Brazil has been in operation since early October after evidence of serious election fraud by supporters of Pressident elect Luiz Ignation Lula da Silva had swayed the vote in favoutr of the communist candidate and former jailbird. The defeated former president Jair Bolsonaro publicly denounced the result and called for an audit of votes which under Brazilian constitutional law he is entitled to do.

 

Lula Deposed? Brazilian communist crook, drug cartel collaborator and former president may have been overthrown by military coup

The Brazilian Supreme Court, packed with communist judges by Lula during his previous term, denied this and ordered that the election result stood. This sparked civil unrest as Bolsonaro supporters took to the streets to protest. This has been worsening as efforts by Lula's putative government became more and more outrageous in denying Bolsonaro's party access to election data (which is a strange ting to do if the election was conducted honestly as they claim.

There were unconfirmed reports last week that the Brazilian military had moved against Lula and invoked a clause in the constitution which allows them to remove a president found to have behaved dishonestly.

The Communists trying to steal an election and take over the county of Brazil are now threatening to arrest former First Lady Michelle Bolsonaro for serving meals to protestors. 

Leftist Senator Randolfe Rodigues called for the arrest of beautiful First Lady Michelle Bolsonaro for the crime of serving meals to protestors.

Once again one is reminded of Schumpeter's Warning, the words of Austrian economist Josef Schumpeter in the 1930s: Capitalism contains the seeds of it own destruction, socialism always leads to tyranny

Former Brazilian First Lady Michelle Bolsonaro

The crazy Communist called serving meals to supporters “political support for undemocratic acts” and “material support” that indicates “the authoritarians are supported by the current inhabitants of the Palace themselves.”

But first let's play a little game ...

Such Nice People Live On The Left Of The Political Spectrum Left wing politics, once the politics of freedom, individualism and self - determination has increasingly over the past few decades become the politics of hate, envy, bitterness, hypocrisy and authoritarianism. Left wing politics has now developed a level of intolerance for those who challenge its idiotic assumptions or moral superiority, it appears to be charging headlong towards fascism.

A few days ago I posted an article on the significant details regarding the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over Ukraine, and the inconsistencies in the US / EU narrative that the government propaganda was not discussing and that mainstream media were not questioning.

The Madness Goes On - USA Considers Sending Patriot Missiles To Ukraine Risking Major Escalation Of Conflict

 

We're hearing from across the pond that a number of US Department of Defense officials including at least one member of the Biden administration, that the White House is currently finalizing plans to supply the sophisticated Patriot missile defense systems to Ukraine.

"The Biden administration is finalizing plans to send the Patriot missile defense system to Ukraine that could be announced as soon as this week, according to two US officials and a senior administration official," CNN reported.

Patriot missile battery, DoD via AP.

If this latest insanity goes ahead it couple be the tipping point that escalates the so far local conflict into a confrontation between military superpowers. Installing Patriots in Ukrain would give the neo - Nazi nutters in Kiev unprecedented ability to launch attacks on targets deep inside Russia. The missiles, intended for use against airborne targets, would be the longest-range missiles sent to Ukraine thus far and could easily be adapted to strike terrestrial targets.

Washington has so far been reluctant to supply long range missiles, despite Kiev officials since nearly the start of the invasion making almost daily pleas pleas for the US to help "close the sky" - as President Zelensky many months ago urged Congress by providing long range ground to air missiles, and piloted, nuclear capable aircraft .

Patriots are deployed in neighboring Poland, but Ukrainian leaders have been clamouring to have the missile systems them on their own soil amid a major escalation in recent Russian aerial attacks targeting electricity, water and telecommunications infrastructure. Former UK prime minister Boris Johnson,, one of the top salesmen for World War Three this week urged in a Wall Street Journal article that the West supply Patriots and other anti-air systems even including military aircraft. Supplying them would help "bring the war to an end as soon as possible", Johnson claimed.

 Moscow is unlikely to react positively to the this latest provocation, which could result in more intense and escalatory airstrikes on Ukrainian cities, and command and control bases. Washington, for its part will likely emphasize the purely "defensive" nature of the Patriot systems, although as Russia has not made use of its air superiority and is using Kamikaze drones which fly below the radar is is difficult to see what Ukrainian forced could defend with them.

The Club Of Rome At 50 Years Old

Authored by Dalwhinnie via BombThrower.com,

I used to believe the following tenets of the Club of Rome. I did so for about four years (from the age of 22 to 26) until I woke up from ecodoomism. It is apparent that millions have been sucked into this cult and have never found a way out. Yet. Indeed, eco-doomism is the world’s leading cause of depression, suicide, sexual ambiguity,  non-replacement and cultural anomie. It is immediately the cause of policies designed to immiserate the population (viz. Dutch government putting farms out of business to control world atmospheric nitrogen levels).

Here are the doctrines of the Club of Rome, circa 1972. Look familiar?

“The Limits to Growth” contains six main messages:

1. Firstly, that the environmental impact of human society had become heavier between 1900 and 1972 due to both an increase in the number of humans and the amount of resources consumed and pollution generated per person per year.

2. That our planet is physically limited, and that humanity cannot continue to use more physical resources and generate more emissions than nature is capable of supplying in a sustainable manner. In addition, it will not be possible to rely on technology alone to solve the problem as this would only delay reaching the carrying capacity of the planet by a few years.

Pentagon Gives Tacit Support For Ukraine Drone Strikes Deep Inside Russia

Authored by Dave DeCamp via AntiWar.com,

The Pentagon has given its tacit endorsement of Ukrainian attacks inside Russian territory and no longer fears such operations could lead to a "dramatic" Russian escalation, The Times reported on Friday, citing unnamed US defense officials. The US position appears to only be based on the fact that up to this point, Russia hasn’t responded to attacks on its territory with nuclear weapons or by attacking NATO countries.

The Times report reads: "Moscow’s revenge attacks have to date all involved conventional missile strikes against civilian targets. Previously, the Pentagon was warier of Ukraine attacking Russia because it feared the Kremlin would retaliate either with tactical nuclear weapons or by targeting neighboring NATO nations."

Large fires at the Transneft Bryansk-Druzhba facility in Bryansk, about 70 miles from the Ukrainian border, believed have resulted from a Ukrainian cross-border operation, via The Telegraph.

The report came after Ukrainian drone attacks hit Russian air bases deep inside Russian territory, including one that killed three Russian soldiers and damaged two Russian bombers. Following the attacks, Russian missiles pounded Ukrainian energy infrastructure, worsening the already dire situation for millions of Ukrainian civilians who are without power and heat in freezing temperatures.

Russia didn’t start launching large-scale attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure until October, after the truck bombing of the Kerch Bridge, which connects Crimea to the Russian mainland. US officials previously said that they support Ukrainian attacks on Crimea.

US scientists achieve ‘holy grail’ net gain nuclear fusion reaction

The team at the Lawrence Livermore lab (LLNL) achieved the magic threshold of one joule of energy for every joule spent in the process Credit: David Butow/Corbis via Getty Images via Daily Telegraph

US scientists have reportedly carried out the first nuclear fusion experiment to achieve a net energy gain, a major breakthrough in a field that has been pursuing such a result since the 1950s, and a potential milestone in the search for a climate-friendly, renewable energy source to replace fossil fuels.

The experiment took place in recent weeks at the government-funded Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, where researchers used a process known as inertial confinement fusion, the Financial Times reports, citing three people with knowledge of the experiment’s preliminary results.

The test involved bombarding a pellet of hydrogen plasma with the world’s largest laser to trigger a nuclear fusion reaction, the same process which takes place in the sun.

Researchers were able to produce 2.5 megajoules of energy, 120 per cent of the 2.1 megajoules used to power the experiment. ... Continue reading >>>

Europe's Cold Spell Exposes Green Energy Policy Failure

A clear blue sky, sub zero temperatures and zero wind - not a good combination for a nation relant on power from wind turbines (Picture: Daily Mail)

 

As the sanction on imports of oil and gas from Russia, imposed in March 2022 with the aim of 'bringing the Russian economy to its knees' in retribution for the invasion of Ukraine,  have in fact achieved the opposite of what was intended with the Russian economy sustained by sales of its hydrocarbons to China, India, South East Asia, Africa and South America, while Europe struggles with rocketing energy prices and fuel shortages, the combined effect of those ill - considered sanctions and the loonytoons 'net zero' energy policies are  about to bite even harder.

So far the autumn of 2022 has been unusually mild which has had the eco-warriors and CO2phobes geting very worked up and gluing their arses to motorways and airport runways in support of their demand that we stop using oil immediately. However winter temperatures across Europe predictably dropped sharply in late November and through most of December to date have been positively arctic.

Scientists have offered the utterly amazing opinion that in view of this cold weather spell the ongoing European gas crisis is now “likely” to worsen significantly as a winter progresses and more usual seasonal weather spreads across the northern half of the continent, bringing with it an increased need for domestic heating.

Polictians and the media are placing all the blame for shortages and soaring rices on Russia, but a large part of the blame lies with our spineless politicians who for the sake of 'green' virtue signalling  made Europe almost entirely reliant on extremely reliant on Russian gas and oil exports while they pursued the idiotic policies like 'net zero' and a complete transition to sustainable sources of energy for electricity generation. While leaders have been appeasing the noisy but unrepresentative green lobby, Europe has been struggling with serious energy shortfalls issues since the start of the Ukraine war earlier this year. It seems neither the politicians, the ecoloons, not the climate scientists can get their extremely thick skulls around the fact that wind turbines do not generate a single watt of power when the wind blows as less than 16Kmph or above 45 Kmph. And solar panels are useless on average 12 hours per day throughout the year. 

  has put together a nice graphic showing the problem with relying on wind power. While supporters of wind power like to claim that wind turbines now generate over 50% of our electricity, by cherry picking the days with the best wind conditions and highlighting them, this graph shows that while UK energy demand is a steady 40 Gw, in the first full week of December 2022, when the days were almost windless and temperatures stayed below freezing night and day, wind turbines generated a mere 2% of that 40 Gw.

Graphs show power as percentage of total demand

Wind power output for 10 December measured at 10 minute intervals. At no point did wind turbine output reach even 5% of total demand yet this is the technology we are told will power our nation in future

 

 Wind power output for November 2022. Apart from the fact that winds contribution to our electricity supply is a lot lower than the green loons in parliament and media would have us believe, the two things to note are the alarming troughs in output during periods of low wind and the way output drops just as the weather turns significantly colder towards the end of the month.

The unseasonably warm weather in Autumn 2022  up until recently  has so far helped reduce the need to burn ever-costlier gas to heat homes, temperatures across northern Europe have now dropped significantly as a result of an arctic air blast.

According to a report in The Guardian, the UK has seen temperatures plunger to below zero, with freezing fog, ice and snow causing problems throughout the country, while similar warnings have also been issued in neighbouring Ireland. This not unusual December weather pattern is likely to drive energy usage up significantly across the north of the continent over the coming days. We can only hope the government and energy companies have a few North Sea gas platforms ready to bring back into production, to hell with Extinction Rebellion, Greta Thunberg & Co.

As of Friday 9 December, EU gas storage was about 85% full, and being drawn down at 0.5% a day. That will almost certainly increase during the week on a combination of more use for heating and more use for power generation as the wind stays still in a period of cold Dunkelflaute affecting most of the Continent. The European Union still hopes to reach its goal of having at least 90% of its gas storage capacity filled by the end of the year. However, even at those storage levels, that’s only around 22.5% of its annual consumption.

With gas supplies so uncertain the immediate problem becomes electricity supply. The UK, which gets around 50% of its electricity fron gas powered turbines is forecasting a shortfall of over 1.5GW for the coming week at the moment. Reducing that will depend on being able to secure imports from the Continent. It starts to become an interesting question as to how much will be available. Meanwhile in Sweden, the unexpected shutdown of a big nuclear plant is leading to threats of shortage that may be difficult to cover by imports. In slightly better news, some French nuclear plants have returned to operation following maintenance. But they are still a long way down on normal.

The arrival of winter is also extremely bad news for Germany, where gas rationing has been in force in some areas for several months. The government has already been warned that it could completely run out of gas by the end of next February should extremely cold temperatures interfere with its aim to cut gas consumption by one-fifth compared to last year

It is acknowledged that the country is unlikely to get through this winter without more rationing measures and rolling blackouts, and German business groups say the impact of the energy crisis is likely to last years, and could possibly result in the destruction of German manufacturing.

While some of Europe’s wealthier people may be able to jet off to the ski slopes to enjoy the cold weather, the sudden shift towards below-freezing temperatures will likely result in serious hardship for many less well off people. With huge numbers across the continent already struggling under increased heating, electricity and food costs, the decrease in temperature is likely to require them to either turn up their thermostats at the expense of their wallets or risk freezing in order to stay fed. Over half of households in the United Kingdom reported to have already cut back on the number of meals they eat per day.

Status Report On That War Thing In Ukraine: Nordstream to Bakhmut,electricity and water

 

 

In the wake of attacks on the on the Stream pipelines, that effectively halted the flow of natural gas which German industry, commerce, agriculture and society relies on, and the terrorist attack on the Kerch Bridge, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken gloated that the attacks were a “tremendous opportunity” to weaken Moscow.. It quickly emerged that the United States CIA and UK's MI5 state security agencies, if not actually involved in the planning and execution of the attacks, at least knew of the plans in advance (and they were planned in advance, how else could Ukraine's government have issued a postage stamp showing the brige burning only a day after the attck took place?)

 And shortly after news of the Nord Stream sabotage broke on mainstream media, gas supply companies in the USA were offering to supply Europe with shipments of Liquid Natural Gas carried by supertanker to be sold to European nations at vastly inflated prices.

The Nord Stream pipelines are operated by company that is majority owned by Russia’s state gas giant Gazprom. Authorities in Norway and Denmark have refused to allow that company access to the pipelines for the purpose of inspecting the damage done to its own pipelines. That is to say, NATO member states have prevented the Switzerland-based company Nord Stream AG from conducting an investigation into the attacks on its property.

But just as sanctions failed to bring the Russian economy to its knees as US and NATO officials predicted they would, Secretary of State Blinken's “tremendous opportunity” has not had any noticable effect on Russian economic activity as the USA's proxy war on Russia shifts from shooting and bombing to the weaponisation of energy, currency, food, fertilizser and the bitterly cold winter weather.

When santions were imposed poreventing EU vand NATO member states from buying Russia's gas and oil, the Russiansjust shugged and set about finding other customers in Asia, Africa and south America to by their gas and oil. The CPC pipeline out of the Caspian has been monitored from orbit a very long time. The Volga river complex out of the northern Caspian region ditto. In total this flow is 4% of global supply, and much of it is past Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad) northward towards Moscow for consumption and export.

Volgograd is less than 100 miles from the eastern border of Donbas and is the chokepoint for nearly 3% of global supply. The Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) from Russia's Caspian gas fields to the Black Sea travels through Russia to a Russian Black Sea port.

Kashagan is the notorious oil field in that region and its failures have been monitored from orbit and led to its nickname from the participating companies -- CashIsGone. A very difficult production locale for oil, but those obstacles have been overcome and it is now finally flowing. The lesser known field is Karachaganak, it is mostly gas condensate and GAZPROM is the major player. This dictates realities of the recent economic meetings that warranted Putin's presence.

It will probably come as a shock to political leaders in Washington D C, London and Euopean capitals and financial centres but world trade is not confined to North America and Europe. Turkmenistan (how many people know where that is, I have to admit I could not descripe its exact position,) is bubbling with gas. Kazahkstan has significant oil. That region in total, with bordering countries, has abundant and largely unexploited hydrocarbon reserves. 

Perhaps most amusing, ironic and scanitly reported in mainstream media aspect of this fiasco of failed sanctions, Iran has been running tankers south to north across the Caspian carrying their sanctioned oil to blend with Russia's heading north for export via The Black Sea. Turkey and Syria to Europe and America. All those sanctions imposed by successive US administrations in their efforts to control the world never really had a hope of working.

Meanwhile, on the ground Russia's destruction of Ukraine's electricity grid and generating capacity is almost complete, likewise the water supply, telecommunications networks and transport links. In late November Ukraine admitted that Russian missile strikes have crippled almost half of Ukraine's energy system, the government said on Friday, and authorities in the capital Kyiv warned that the city could face a "complete shutdown" of the power grid as winter sets in.

With temperatures falling and Kyiv seeing its first snow, officials were working to restore power nationwide after some of the heaviest bombardment of Ukrainian civilian infrastructure in nine months of war. The United Nations says Ukraine's electricity and water shortages threaten a humanitarian disaster this winter. "Unfortunately Russia continues to carry out missile strikes on Ukraine's civilian and critical infrastructure. Almost half of our energy system is disabled," Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said. Telecommunications and water systems have been similarly affected by Russia's 'targeted' (but not very accurately according to independent reports,) and life is becoming unbearable for the majority of that nation's 40 million population. In spite of the way westerm politicians and mainstream media and Ukrainian President vobblyvoddymyr Bellendskyyyyy are still spinning the narrative that Ukraine is winning the war on the ground repoorts from inside Ukraine say this is not the case. With estimates of Ukraine's dead or wounded topping 100,000 one wonderrs how long their military can sustain such losses. Yet they continue to launch futile attacks or defend territory against vastly superior forces. The Russian military is still integrating most of the mobilized 300,000+ men and volunteers. According to Putin 25% of the mobilized forces are in combat units, 25% in rear positions, while 50% train in Russia. It does not look like an imminent all out attack on the Ukrainian front lines is in the cards. The expected large winter attack may not be coming at all. Instead the new forces will rotate through the frontline and only attack locally whenever they see an opportunity. The Russian do not need to attack. Their task is to demilitarize Ukraine. As long as the Ukrainians come to the front lines and attack the Russians their is no need to launch a large attack on them. Even as mainstream media celebrates Ukraine's retaking of a few square miles of unpopulated farmland or a town the Russians have reduced to rubble and abandoned as if they are great, strategic vicories, the Russian forces are grinding on.

Things look bad for Ukraine in Bakmut right now. Last time things looked so bad for them was Lisichansk. There is a rumor that Ukraine is plugging the front with totally untrained conscripts. I hope that RU's small successes on the Donbass front are not only happening because Ukraine is pooling its best troops and weapons for a major offensive elsewhere, like it did a few months ago. The Zaphorozie front has been very quiet lately. A successful UA drive to Melitopol would be very bad. 

Bakhmut, where the heaviest fighting on the front line is focused now, is the gateway to Ukrainian strongholds in Donetsk. Taking Bakhmut would rupture Ukraine's supply lines and open a route for Russian forces to press on toward Kramatorsk and Sloviansk, key Ukrainian strongholds in Donetsk. Russia has battered Bakhmut with rockets for more than six months now

The Associated Press December 10, 2022 18:36:42 IST

An aerial view of Bakhmut  Friday 9 December 2022. AP

Russian forces have ‘destroyed’ the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut,  according to President Vobblyvoddyymyr Bellendskyyyyyy said, while Ukraine’s military on Saturday reported missile, rocket, and air strikes on multiple parts in the eastern regions of Ukraine  that Moscow is trying to conquer after months of resistance.

The latest battles of Russia’s 9 1/2 month war in Ukraine have centred on four provinces that Russian President Vladimir Putin annexed in late September. The fighting indicates Russia’s struggle to establish control on those regions and Ukraine’s persistence to reclaim them.

Zelenskyy said the situation “remains very difficult” in several frontline cities in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk and Luhansk provinces. Together, the provinces make up the Donbas, an expansive industrial region bordering Russia that Putin identified as a focus from the war’s outset and where Moscow-backed separatists have fought since 2014.

“Bakhmut, Soledar, Maryinka, Kreminna. For a long time, there is no living place left on the land of these areas that have not been damaged by shells and fire,” Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address, naming cities that have again found themselves in the crosshairs. “The occupiers actually destroyed Bakhmut, another Donbas city that the Russian army turned into burnt ruins.”

Zelenskyy didn’t specify what he meant by “destroyed” — and some buildings remain standing, and residents still mill about in city streets.

 Russia is having this success now because it was able to consolidate it's forces and inject fresh troops, while mauling the advancing Ukrainians. Earlier Ukrainian 'victories' should be seen in that light. Ukraine's recaptured territories have proven to be nothing but abject misery for Ukrainians. Can the United Nations not find any way to stop this senseless slaughter? Can NATO leaders not see that their giving Bellendskyyyyy and the neo - Nazi nutters in Kiev all the high tech eapons and ammunition they ask for is only prolonging the slaughter. The neo - Nazi nutters are determined to draw NATO and the USA into direct intervention, thus triggering World War 3. All western leaders have to do is say 'No more.'
