Wind Turbines Poison Candian Water

Timothy Birdnow

Those ugly bird blenders are poisoning Canada's drinking water and polluting their precious bodily fluids.

From the Toronto Sun

Industrial strength wind turbines are making a lot of people worried.

Installing those turbines means pile-driving massive steel beams into the bedrock.

The problem is that the bedrock is made of Kettle Point black shale and is known to contain uranium and arsenic. Vibration from the pile-driving breaks up this toxic shale below the groundwater and contaminates it. Area residents can’t drink, bathe, or wash their clothes because of this. Water wells are being poisoned as the government continues to allow the pile driving.

The law of unintended consequences is a bitch.

Bloomberg was the One who Wouldn't Leave

Willis Eschenbach had this to say on claims Trump won't leave office after the expiration of his second term:

I keep reading folks claiming that Trump will insist on running for a third term, or will refuse to leave the White House after his second term.

That will never happen, President Trump's not like that. But care to know who actually did that? Our favorite farmer, Mini Mike Bloomberg. As the Wall Street Journal noted, when Bloomberg was Mayor of New York City:

===
"Perhaps Mr. Bloomberg’s most controversial move was running for a third term in 2009 by engineering the repeal of a law passed twice by voter referendum limiting city elected officials to two terms. That decision colored his final years in office, as his approval ratings fell from the high 60s and never again cracked 50% in his third term, according to Marist. Voters reinstated term limits in 2010."
===

The law was passed by voters not once but twice, but Mike is too elite to be held in check by mere voters ...

And the sting in the tail of this tale? After leaving the Mayor's job, he voted in favor of the law being changed back again to the two-term limit, saying that the special exemption from the law for him alone was an "extraordinary one-time thing".

According to Farmer Mike, laws are for the little people, not for the ultra-rich folks like him.

Happerly Ever After

Timothy Birdnow

Physicist William Happer (who acted as a science adviser to Trump) made the following comments:

nt. So, the net result of more CO2 will be strongly beneficial for humanity.”
"There is no problem from CO2. The world has lots and lots of problems, but increasing CO2 is not one of the problems. So [the Paris Climate Accords] dignifies it by getting all these yahoos who don’t know a damn thing about climate saying, ‘This is a problem, and we’re going to solve it.’ All this virtue signaling. You can read about it in the Bible: Pharisees and hypocrites and phonies.”

Washington Bought by China

Timothy Birdnow

Tucker Carlson delineates how China has bought Washington in a recent Fox News editorial.

From the article:

The New York Times once described the publication as "a newspaper on a mission to promote China's soft power." The South China Morning Postis owned by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba. That's a company run by a Communist Party member. Like all Chinese companies, Alibaba is required by the country's 2017 National Intelligence Law to "support and assist and cooperate with China's government spy agencies."

Yes, spy agencies. That's Politico's partner -- and it shows.

What sort of content has Politico's partnership produced? Well, last October pro-democracy protests broke out in Hong Kong. Here's The LA Times headline from that day: "Hong Kong protesters defy police, set up roadblocks." The Washington Post: used this headline: "Police blast mosque with water cannon as hundreds of thousands protestin Hong Kong."

Politico is a blog based outside Washington, D.C. Conventional people read it for a conventional view on politics. Politico is one of the reasons everyone on television sounds the same and is usually wrong. It's also one of the reasons sucking up to China seems normal in Washington.

A few years ago, Politico entered into a so-called content partnership with the South China Morning Post.That's an English language newspaper based in Hong Kong that is widely understood to be a mouthpiece for the Communist Chinese government.

Now here, by contrast, is how The South China Morning Postdescribed it: "Rampaging mob stage an arson spree in Hong Kong." The Morning Poststory went on to describe how a group of criminals was marauding and looting and vandalizing and burning, as they conducted what the paper repeatedly described as"an illegal march."

Read the entire article.

China is becoming a superpower because our leaders sold us out in favor of the Chinese.

Director Steven Spielberg’s Daughter Mikaela Announces Porn Career

"I got really tired of not being able to capitalize on my body, and frankly, I got really tired of being told to hate my body,”

Well, she's going to REALLY get tired of taking AZT for AIDS when she catches it! What a spoiled little brat, and a stupid one at that!

 And if Spielberg is o.k. with his daughter debasing herself and catching parasites and venereal diseases he shows himself to be a dirtbag who should never have had a child given to him.

I wonder if the girl is going to do a remake of "Shaving Ryan's Privates"?

Size Doesn't Matter: Brexit Led to Boom

Timothy Birdnow

Despite claims Brexit would crash the British economy, the Kingdom is experiencing boom times.

Britain is Booming - Despite Brexit

Removing all the shackles imposed by the E.U. was guaranteed to lead to a robust economy for Britain. The E.U. was never a net positive for many of her members because it was always a mob rule type of system. Britain, of course, had the entire Commonwealth to trade with, as well as was quite capable of trading with the E.U.'s partners. It was a stupid argument. It was essentially "bigger is better". Why would anyone suppose that was true?

From the article:

Almost four years on, it’s safe to say that most of the economic doom-mongering was nonsense. This week’s figures on jobs and earnings show that, since the referendum, employment is up by one million — and it is rising still. Unemployment in the UK is at its lowest since 1974. Unemployment in Wales is at its lowest since records began. Leaked internal reports from Nissan have revealed that, if the current round of Brexit talks fail, it could move production of Micras from France to Sunderland, aiming to capture a bigger share of the UK market.

This week’s figures also explain why Jeremy Corbyn failed to gain any traction with his idea of an exploited ‘zero hours Britain’ suffering at the bottom of a ‘widening gap between rich and poor’. It simply isn’t true that low-paid workers have fared worse than others. At the lower end of the income scale, earnings are growing faster than average — pushing income inequality towards a 30-year low. Welfare reform has helped move more people into work.

A sharp rise in the National Living Wage, which will soon be one of the highest in the world, has helped this along. The bottom third of full-time employees received an above-average pay rise of 4 per cent. The bottom 5 per cent of part-time workers did even better, with an annual pay increase of 11 per cent. Employment figures, meanwhile, show how wrong William Hague’s Conservatives (and the CBI) were to oppose Tony Blair’s introduction of the minimum wage — and how right the Conservatives have been in recent years to embrace it. Far from the minimum wage destroying jobs, employment is at a record high. Work is paying more — and thanks to a steep rise in the personal tax allowance, it’s a lot more.

Prosperity is not a function of the size of your market, but of the balance sheet; if you are producing more, producing better other countries will buy from you. If you are taking more in than you are sending out you have a good economy. Does anyone consider India's economy to be a powerhouse?  Why not? It is large and labor is cheap. But we are more interested in buying stuff from Japan, at a fraction of the size. Why?

Size really doesn't matter!

What's a Few Trillion Among Friends

This from Dr. Roy Spencer:

I read this to make sure it really says what the headline proclaims, and that it wasn't satire. How exactly this would be accomplished seems to be buried in the new CEO's magic words, "...trillions of dollars will need to be invested in replumbing and rewiring the world’s energy system. It will require nothing short of reimagining energy as we know it". So, the secret to removing carbon from fossil fuels is replumbing, rewiring, and reimagining. I'm sure some chemists out there can work out the details.

GMO Seeds as a Weapon of War?

Timothy Birdnow

I've been warning against the supremacy of genetically modified seeds for a long time. One of the disturbing aspects of these is the suicide gene; you generally cannot reproduce the plants once you have grown them. This means farmers have to go back to the companies that produce the seeds every year, thus making them dependent. But what happens if a real emergency occurs and the seeds are not available?

Government could force a famine on us if they chose; it is one of the aces up their sleeve if there should be a second revolution.

This takes this argument further, claiming the U.S. invented this biotech as a weapon of war.

From the article:

GM seed is neither more productive nor healthier than traditional heritage crops, and is far more expensive and destructive, but it presents almost irresistible military advantages against any nation that becomes dependent on this source of food grains. One is that the US can use it as a political weapon, refusing to supply seed to a disfavored nation, perhaps causing widespread famine and dislocation. The other is more sinister, in that many groups have experimented with gene-splicing technology, inserting unrelated DNA into various seeds.

Perhaps, perhaps not. This may be becoming paranoid. BUT the end result is the same; someone can starve us all if they stop selling these sterile plants.

I think the recombinant DNA revolution is a terrible danger. We've been mixing human DNA with animal, for instance, and THAT is terrifying to me because it opens the possibility of diseases jumping species. Every species on Earth has certain microbial predators unique to themselves. But if we mix up the DNA we incentivize these micro-organisms to branch out. How long before we create something we really, really don't want?

Author Richard Preston (the man who wrote The Hot Zone) penned a novel based on his research over the years. Called The Cobra Event it was the story of a bio-terrorist creating a deadly human pathogen from a butterfly disease. He was trying, of course, but who is to say such a disease would not jump naturally into the human genome from all this genetic mix and match?

And certainly sterile seeds are cause for concern if a disaster should strike. What are we going to feed people if there is an EMP event? Farms already are going to be unable to produce much, but at least with "heirloom" seeds a farmer may get some semblance of a crop in the next year. But if he can't get his plants to go to seed he won't have anything to plant.

We're playing some dangerous games these days. And yet so many young people worry about the chimera of Global Warming.

BTW, I have no worries about the health dangers of GMO food insofar as so many fear it. That isn't the problem. The problem is in some ways more frightening.

George Zimmerman Suing Buttigieg, Cherokee Lizzy

Timothy Birdnow

George Zimmerman - you remember HIM - has filed lawsuits against Cherokee Lizzy Warren and Mayor Pete "Bootycall" Buttigieg for big bucks. His suit claims both defamed him.

This from El Zoro News:

George Zimmerman, the onetime neighborhood watch volunteer who was acquitted in the 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Florida, is suing Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg for $265 million, claiming both2020 Democratic presidential candidates defamed him in an attempt to "garner votes in the black community."

The lawsuit filed in Polk County, Fla., Tuesday argues Warren and Buttigieg’s two separate tweets on Feb. 5, which would have been Martin’s 25th birthday, usedthe killing "as a pretext to demagogue and falsely brand Zimmerman as a white supremacist and racist to their millions of Twitter followers.”

Remember, police were not going to charge Zimmerman with any crime because he acted in self-defense when he shot Martin, who was on top of him and beating his head against the pavement at the time. They relented under pressure from Obama's DOJ and from "protesters" brought in by a group funded by the Obama Justice Department.

Zimmerman, the so-called "White Hispanic" (because obviously a minority couldn't do such a thing! only a white racist...) was acquitted on all charges. BUT he has been harassed by left wing prosecutors ever since and used as a bogeyman to scare minority voters.

The article continues:

"Trayvon Martin would have been 25 today. How many 25th birthdays have been stolen from us by white supremacy, gun violence, prejudice, and fear? #BlackLivesMatter,” Buttigieg tweeted to his 1.6 million followers. The message garnered 42,000 likes, 13,300 replies and 6,600 retweets in just three days, the lawsuit states.

"My heart goes out to @SybrinaFulton and Trayvon's family and friends. He should still be with us today. We need to end gun violence and racism. And we need to build a world where all of our children—especially young Black boys—can grow up safe and free,” Warren tweeted to her 3.6 million followers on the same day, sharing four photos of Trayvon Martin as a small child, between the ages of 4 and10. The message received 7,300 likes and 1,000 retweets in three days, in addition to national media coverage, the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit argued Warren and Buttigieg falsely tied Martin’s death to "gun violence,” a term that more appropriatelydescribes the "reckless and indiscriminate use of illegally owned firearms." It also claims the tweets defamed Zimmerman by implying he acted out of racism or white supremacy when he shot Martin.

It should be remembered when this story first broke all of the mainstream media were displaying a photo of Trayvon Martin when he was a child. In fact he was a large, thuggish man who wrote gangsta rap and had been suspended from school three times, once for possession of stolen jewelry. He tested positive for marijuana in his sytem at the autopsy. This was no choir boy. And text messages retrieved from his phone show a violent and thuggish person.

But none of that matters. This was a narrative, a fake news claim of some sort of white racist attack on an innocent young black male.

Zimmerman is also suing the mother of Trayvon Martin.

Bloomberg's Mockery of Farmers

Mark Musser

With regard to Mayor Bloomberg's recent discussion about how easy it is to be a farmer, I can pretty much guarantee that even on our small farm, he would not last a day, and pretty much the same could be said of all the 'gray matter techies' and oligarchs he was referring to.

Solomon, who was very wealthy and even richer than Bloomberg, but also very wise, points out in Proverbs 28:11,

"The rich man is wise in his own eyes, but the poor who has understanding sees through him."

This 'dialectic' if you want to call it that, pretty much sums up the wide gulf between middle America and elitists who live on the coasts where everything is milder and softer.

Bloomberg said in 2016 at Oxford to a group of tech people that farming is a brainless, simple proposition:

"It's a process. You dig a hole, put a seed in, put dirt on top, add water, up comes the corn,"

A WORD FROM TIM:

Apparently he doesn't remember that the Pilgrims almost starved because they couldn't figure out how to grow corn; they had to be taught. They had to use fertilizer (fish) on the seeds, had to know how to tend them etc.

Farming requires brains; you have to be an accountant, a lawyer, a chemist, a botanist, a meteorologist, a mechanic, etc. And it requires backbreaking labor for long hours. Bloomberg clearly has no idea whatsoever what farmers do. He's the ultimate fool and snob..

Bezos to Potlatch

Timothy Birdnow

Recently, Jeff Bezos announced he was donating ten billion to fight "climate change".

A friend on Facebook made the following observation:

That brought to mind a memory from history.

It is sometimes called Potlatch and the term is often associated with giving away wealth in order to affirm your social status, but the practice was not just about helping poor people. Sometimes the wealthy would pile up expensive goods and burn them to show he was so rich he could violently waste his wealth. It is frequently associated with Native Americans, but it has a long and venerable history, going back into the mists of time.

In many ways we see that among our wealthy today with so much of the foolishness they indulge to waste money.

Clearly, Bezos is preparing to burn his wealth on a funeral pyre of carbon dioxide.

How many billions have the uber-wealthy wasted on left-wing causes over the years? Quixotic political campaigns, Global Warming, campaigns to promote social justice, etc. They know this money is simply lost but they sacrifice it anyway. It is, I believe, as much to show they can as anything.

If Jeff Bezos was doing this for the public good he would donate this money to feed the poor in the Third World, or to provide electricity for them, or clean water. That he has chosen so useless a cause speaks volumes. He's potlatching.
