The Battle To Save What's Left Of Civilisation

 

Gl;obal Warming in Northern England, December 2022 (Picture: Liverpool Echo)

 

If you read this blog regularly you will probably be aware of the global warming wars, the regular discussion topics of which are the politicisation of science (particularly that relating to climate and envronment,)   the ongoing struggle over government-led efforts across the liberal democracies of the Europe and North america and certain outlying farmsteads like Japan and Australia to destroy western civilisation and the prosperity of its middle and working class populations by using propaganda about an impending climate disaster to tranfer industry and commerce to the low labour cost economies of Asia, Africa and South America.

The main thrust of the global elite's attack on our lifestyles is through 'green' energy policies which aim to switch our energy intensive  economies from coal, oil and gas as fuel for electricity generation and heat for industrial processes and out homes and business premises. To stop the use of fossil fuels and their associated “carbon emissions, which the elites and their science whores claim are responsible for global warming,” and achieve 'net zero' a situation in which whatever Carbon Dioxide is emitted by human activity is offset by planting trees and other equally whacko but 'environmentally friendly' schemes. 

Lately, the focus of the war on prosperity and the food supply Carbon Dioxide has focused less on what might be called the “science” of global warming, i.e., the extent to which human carbon emissions may possibly be causing atmospheric warming and whether that warming might be dangerous and more on issues of practicality and cost of the proposed of transition from reliable fossil fuels and nuclear energy to generating the electricity modern societies rely on twenty four hours a day, 365 days a year from wind turbines and solar panels. After all, as to the “science” issues, we are instructed endlessly by our politicians and media that the science of global warming is “settled.” So what’s the point of debating that any more?

In reality the 'science' supporting claims that carbon  dioxide emissions from human activity are heading us toward some kind of planetary catastrophe is not only not “settled,” but actually non-existent, while nature itself is responsible for emitting many hundreds of times more Carbon Dioxide, which is by the way a component of the air we breathe that is absolutely essential to the continuation of life on this little planet. Nevertheless trying to initiate discussion on that subject can quickly lead to arguments couched in technical jargon and mathematics that very few people will try to follow or to mutually abusive mud slinging. By contrast, almost anybody can quickly grasp why wind and solar electricity generation can’t work to power a modern economy and will multiply electricity bills by an order of magnitude.

But don’t get the idea that everybody has just given up on exposing the fake “science” behind the global warming scare. In fact, the Manhattan Contrarian is on the case, as are the contributors to the excellent Watts Up With That website and Climate Depot along with hundreds of other websites created by healthily sceptical people who habitually question official narratives on many things and usually find that the version of events politicians, the media, billionaire psychopaths and Our New Unhappy Lords in the world of business and finance would like to force us to believe.

Germany is Now A “Total Dictatorship” Says Dutch Journalist

 

Familiar scene from a run-of-the-mill Central Asian dictatorship (Picture: The Times)

A Dutch journalist has claimed that Germany is now a “total dictatorship”. This may seem like a case of the pot calling the kettle black given the Dutch government's plan to evict up to 3000 farmer from their land and return those acreages 'to nature' in a bid to lead the way among EU member states, to enforce total compliance with the latest loonytoons EU climate policy which requires EU members to reduce that dangerous pollutant nitrogen, which accounts for 78% of the air we breathe

The sad truth is that anyone living under the governments of the risibly misnamed 'liberal democracies' is currently living under and experiencing a “total dictatorship.” The ruling elites have declared war on the populations they govern and (theoretically) serve. Both the Carbon Dioxide scare and this latest campaign of fear about nitrogen are part of the war on food. The current energy crisis, which has been engineered deliberately is a war on healthy, comfortable living and on industry, the rapibly escalationg cost - of - living and accompanying food shortages, again deliberately engineered are an attack on prosperity and the war in Ukrain which could easily have been avoided is a deadly distraction from the mess we are really in.

Sonja van den Ende, a Dutch journalist said as much when she commented that Western nations have used talways believed were included in our inalienable human rights (Geneva Convention of 1948)

The Biggest Obstacle To Real Freedom Is The Belief That We Already Have It

The European Union is reportedly planning to target Russian media channels with the upcoming ninth sanctions package, freezing the assets of ANO TV-Novosti, RT’s parent company, and revoking licenses from those few outlets which still hold them within the bloc. The online news content published and broadcast by these channels has already been censored through government collaboration with Big Tech.

“This is what the Western countries are doing since the start of the special military operation, even before that. Even before the Syrian war, wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya,” van den Ende said.

“But now it intensified a lot, and we see every day new things coming out. They clearly want to control the media, this is what they do already, and everything that is said in favor of Russia or just neutral about Russia is straight away banned everywhere.”-RT

Germany has repeatedly targeted RT and its German-language division RT DE in particular. The latest initiative in the field was floated this week by MP Andrea Lindholz, a CDU/CSU parliamentary group chair, who proposed to set up a special reporting office to tackle “Russian disinformation.”

Press freedom and free speech are now both virtually non-existent on this planet, indeed Klaus Schwab, leader of the neo - Nazi World Economic Forum recently said that his follower have inflitrated all media organisations and the institutions of state. How true this is we may never know but the evidence that his claim has some substance is vidsible and audible every day in the propaganda we see, hear and read.

Dystopia Disguised as Democracy: All the Ways in Which Freedom Is an Illusion

Germany, like The Netherlands, is already experiencing mass protests against inflation, food shortages, gas rationing, electricity blackouts and EU 'green' policies, van den Ende noted, expressing hopes that the country’s citizens will only “protest more.” Of course, protesting does very little in the grand scheme of things, because masters have never cared about the opinions of their slaves.

“The next part, the freedom of speech is gone. What is left then? They have no life. They can’t pay their bills anymore, they can’t say what they want. It’s a total dictatorship,” she said.

Just When We Need It Most, Renewable Energy Disappears

 

Wind turbines on a windless winter day (Picture: il5.picdn.net )

In an encouraging sign of a great awakening, million of people in the UK are now, after a week of brutally cold, absolutely windless weather asking "Why have we wasted so much money on wind turbines and harvesting solar energy." 

Yet when politicians are asked directly: "How do we keep the lights on and our homes warm when the wind does not blow and the sun is too low in the sky to make much impression on photovoltaic cells that do the business in solar panels? They start to waffle about the impending climate catastrophe, the importance of achieving net zero and the urgency of reducing Carbon Dioxide emissions. There has been an  almost universal enthusiasm in business, finance and politics to finance more wind farms. We were told we would get more than half our power from renewables. On a warn,breezy day in high summer when demand is at its lowest this is sort of true. I say sort of because it really depends on how on defines 'renewables'. However on the coldest day of 2022, in mid December only two weeks from the end of the year, a windless day on which in all but a few small areas of Britain the temperature did not rise above freezing point at any time and wind turbines contributed only 3% of our electricity supply.

The electricity companies made up the shortfall by importing enery from France's nuclear power stations and  bringing online coal and gas fired stations, ostensibly shut down in pursuit of impossible 'net zero'  targets, set by one of the recent COP climate conferences when thirty thousand or so delegates from the worlds of politics, business and academia fly, many by private jet, to some exclusive resort and amply supplies with gourmet food, fine wines and high class prostitutes to keep their minds sharp and focused,  decide what sacrifices the rest of us must make in the cause of 'saving the planet.'

The stated capacity of UK wind turbines is over 25 GW, which compares to demand on a cold day of a little over 45 GW. However that 25GW is a notional figure, dependent on ideal wind conditions prevailing over the whole of Britain. In reality all the wind turbines in Britain rarely supply as much as 25% of our electricity and much more often they do not even provide 10%.

This autumn and winter we have lived through periods of little wind, when the wind electricity output can be as low as 1 per cent of our total needs despite having theoretical capacity for many times that. Whenlack of wind coincides with cold, dark evenings and mornings when there is no solar power either, the power companies have to turn up output from gas and our few remaining coal generators which are designated as standby systems because amid all the hype for wind and renewables and the worship of St Greta of Thunberg somebody had the foresight to anticipate such situations.

Ever since 2005 when this blog and its stablemates Boggart Blog and The Daily Stirrer were born I and my colleagues, three old gits who have vast experience in busines, finance and engineering and still have all our marbles (well as many of them as we ever had,) have been warning of the technical and practical shortcomings of 'green energy generation' and anticipating such situations as have been experiences in the past few days. What we did not anticipate was the war in Ukraine and the diastrous sanctions imposed on Russian oil and gas by NATO member states. Unfortunately the response of of Russia this year to the genocide of ethnic Russians in Ukraine by the neo - nazi nutters in Kiev has led to an ban on the gas imports that sustained Germany and Italy, leaving the EU trying to cut energy use to match the shortfall in supply so having shut down our North Sea gas wells and the massive Rough storage facility in pursuit of 'Net Zero' we have nowhere to turn

There have always been problems with adding too much wind power to our system. Much of the wind power is best generated offshore in Scotland where there is availability and on good days  more wind. This needs an enlarged high voltage network to bring it south to where it can be consumed, with losses of up to 30% along the way. Too much intermittent renewable power fed into the system makes the necessary balancing of the grid more difficult, with more need for back up generation that can be available almost instantly if the wind drops. Relying on European imports does not work when the EU is also experiencing a cold period with little wind, especially if enough of the ageing French fleet of nuclear power stations continue to struggle to stay open. 

Import dependence is also bad in other ways. It means exporting well paid jobs. It means paying large taxes on energy away to a foreign treasury instead of keeping them at home to pay some of the NHS bills. It gives the UK less control over energy when there are supply constraints that need managing. 

The first aim of energy policy should be to ensure the security of supply, with the industry and regulators ensuring a useful surplus over normal maximum demand from domestic stations. The second should be to keep electricity and domestic heating fuel affordable for consumers by developing a system which always used the cheapest power available. The distant third was  concern for the environmental because while mathematical models predict doom and gloom (don't they always?,) there is little real world evidence that Carbon Dioxide emissions from human activity have a significant effect on the climate. 

In the first decade after privatisation, a time when I worked as an Information Technology consultant in the industry, the power companies made huge advances, replacing old coal stations where only around a third of the underlying energy emerged as electrical current with clean coal technologies that were more efficient and also removed the really nasty pollutants such as Sulphur Dioxide, and building gas-fuelled combined cycle stations that improved energy efficiency by more than half, allowing cheaper prices and a much cleaner output. There was plenty of margin for cold days when something went wrong with a power station or two. 

The current Government has wisely said it is going to make national security of supply a main aim again but will they stick to this pledge when the ecoloons and baxk to nature brigade start screaming. If they intend to do so it will require plenty of stand-by power for when the wind does not blow and as power stations cannot be started as quickly as a car having wind as a primary source which gas or coal as back up means keeping those fossil fuel stations running with their output going down to earth. This is an absolutely insane business model, the money spent on ensuring the security of our electricity supply would be wasted because the politicians are too vain and the scientists to arrogant and stupid to admit that for the past thirty years they have been wrong.

'Scientists' (always wrong about everything,) tell us that investment in battery storage on a huge scale  will allow us to keep wind turbine electricity from windy days to manage windless ones, however stored power tends to dissipiate quickly, batteries are hideously expensive and lithium (currently the raw material for the most energy efficient batteries,) is highly volatile and tends to spontaneously combust, triggering unquenchable fire that can burn without oxygen and cannot be quenched with water. 

Greta Thunberg can go to hell, gas and oil will still be around when she gets there.

Have MPs got smaller or has Ed Miliband got bigger? Has he grown into his boots? Has he outgrown them? It’s easy to forget he has had more affect than any Labour politician in living memory. And not just because of his £2 membership drive that put the Labour party into special measures for five years. What other contenders are there? It’s true that Tony Blair’s war in Iraq had a widespread effect on the prospects of hundreds of thousands in the Middle East – but that will be insignificant against the leadership Ed displayed with his Climate Change Act.

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.”

Thegatewaypundit.com reports: In an unusual step for the military, the Army has invaded favelas of Rio de Janeiro and killed top leaders of the Comando Vermelho (Red Command) drug cartel, which supports the Communist criminal Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

The drug gangs were the only ones to celebrate the alleged election victory by criminal Lula Oct. 30, firing automatic weapons in the air in the favelas. President Bolsonaro cracked down hard on the Brazilian drug gangs. “The heads of drug trafficking of Morro do Juramento and Juramentinho, identified as Rodrigo Barbosa Marinho, known as Rolinha or Titio Rolinha, and Hevelton Nascimento Júnior, the “Bad Boy”, respectively, were killed during a Military Police operation in Vicente de Carvalho on Thursday (1st).

The Left's Rhetorical Technique Explained
In the first of what might become a long if irregular series of posts with the collective title, "Left Wing Authoritarianism for beginners," your friend and mentor Little Nicky Nicky Machiavelli will expose the origins of the socialist left's propaganda technique and its apparent dependence on slogans, dogma and mantras. 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.

Propaganda and Journalism: A lesson for the left
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.
