Why Biden’s Climate Agenda Is Falling Apart
I think Biden and the Democrats are smart enough to know they will be shooting themselves in the foot if they impose this. They need it to be bipartisan, and they need it just before handing the reins of government over the a Republican so he or she can take the blame for the carnage.
Don't get me wrong; they are going to try to foist this on America, but they want to hide the fact they did it.
And to not develop a rare-Earth market is ludicrous on the face of it if we are going to promote "renewables"; it makes us completely dependent on the Chinese.
I would argue that is the whole point, to tie us to China to a point where we cannot act independently of one another. It is precisely how the European Union came about; the French consciously made a policy to weld their economy to Germany's so the Germans wouldn't dare attack them again. It led to a continent-wide government. I suspect the people running Biden want World government and this is part of the plan, to make America "interdependent" and thus part of a world-girdling system.
The fact these same people are resisting nuclear is proof they are not sincere about "climate change" as nuclear is the only non-greenhouse gas emitting technology other than hydroelectric.

Don't trust the "experts" (I are one) when the issue at hand is highly politicized and the data are uncertain regarding causation. Trump was ridiculed for suggesting the China virus could have come from the Wuhan lab... well, it is increasingly looking like he was right. When there is little data, follow the politics and money.
Former State Department official: Probe into COVID origins found almost no evidence supporting natural origin
A commenter named Helen Lance said:
The SARS-Cov2 virus has genes that match the HIV viral DNA. It is not a Corona virus so it seems likely that for these genotypes to mix, they could have needed help from a lab.
Tim adds:
I subscribe to the principle of Occam's Razor with this. We knew there was a lab doing research on Covid 2 in Wuhan and so how likely is it that this was a chance mutation in a wet market? Especially with the Chinese involved, who have been doing a lot of genetic manipulation in the last decade using CRIPR technology and who are both careless of human life and hold animus against all "barbarians". The Chinese generals have said "war with the U.S. is inevitable" and it seems more than possible that the Chinese were making bio weapons - especially since the U.S. banned such weapons during the Nixon era. The Chicoms would be the only ones to officially have such.
And they were getting pretty desperate as Trump's policies were seriously hurting their economy. They needed him out, and barring a horrible pandemic there was little chance of that in 2019 as the economy was roaring.
Whatever way you look at it there was means, motive, and opportunity - the three legs of the stool establishing guilt. I think the simplest answer is the best, and at this point the simplest answer is the Chinese either knowingly or unwittingly let this thing loose and hid the fact on the theory they could capitalize on it "never let a good crisis go to waste" as Rahm Emmanuel said.
We KNOW China's subsequent actions were designed to hide their fault in this and the rest of the world grew ill while China fared pretty well. And they can afford to lose a lot of people - less mouths to feed. One of China's great curses is they have to have massive economic growth or there won't be jobs for the public and dissatisfaction could lead to a "color revolution".
Everything points to China being the culprits. But what are we going to do about them? Joe Biden's family is making a lot of money off the Chinese. I imagine there will be huffing and puffing and nothing will happen. And in fact this will help hide other things the Biden Junta is doing to America.
Meanwhile Biden has shut down the probe of this.
Oh, in an act of pure Chutzpah the Chinese now say the U.S. did it.

Felicien Kabuga has been arrested by French police.
Who?
Kabuga was the richest man in Rwanda during the '90's. He owned a series of radio stations which broadcast "kill the Tutsi cockroaches!" incessantly for months, and it was he who handed out machetes to do it. Millions died horrible deaths, perhaps the worst genocide in history save the Holocaust. 800,000 Tutsis were slaughtered by the Hutu thanks in no small part to Kabuga.
According to the NPR article:
The authorities who have been hunting for Kabuga for years say the businessman played a key role in the ethnic bloodshed that left more than 800,000 people dead in a span of about three months. He allegedly encouraged and facilitated the violence in his capacity as both president of a Rwandan radio stationthat has been blamed for helping incite the rampant slaughter of ethnic Tutsis and other minority groups, and as the head of a fund that financed and supported the Hutu militias that carried it out.
For his activities, Kabuga was indicted in 1997for a slew of war crimes, including genocide and crimes against humanity. International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, established by the United Nations, will be responsible for hearing his trial.
Yet for roughly a quarter-century, Kabuga managed to elude arrest and became Rwanda's most-wanted fugitive — despite an international effort that included the promise of a $5 million reward from the U.S. State Department for information leading to his capture.
I think we can all agree this was a wonderful thing; the man was a monster and the world will be better off without him.This is like capturing Hitler at the end of the War.

Colonial Pipeline was hacked and paid out $5 million in bitcoins as ransom. The hackers were strongly believed to be from Russia.
Likewise, Garman, supplier of GPS equipment and services was hacked and paid the ransom.
But the electronic voting machines were totally secure ..... wink, nod ....
And many of the machines were found networked to the internet, despite their not supposed to be. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/online-vulnerable-experts-find-nearly-three-dozen-u-s-voting-n1112436 But no, no, no there is no way our voting system was compromised!

INFLATION MUCH?
Under Obama (eight years) the Federal Reserve raised rates only twice, by 1/4 of one percent, and that, only in his last year.
During Trumps first year, the Federal Reserve raised rates seven (7) times, and despite that, ALL the metrics showed our economy performed its best in many decades; with nearly zero inflation!
Rates now are back to zero (well, technically 0 to .25%). Inflation is clearly indicated and the Fed sits quietly, serving Biden and the Dems. Proving to me (at least) that ALL of these Gov't bureaucrats work in unison, to insure the Gov't grows and the Private sector does not.
Source: https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/openmarket.htm
I knew someone would do something to crash the economy before the election. Tim Geitner as head of the NY Fed worked with Hank Paulson to pull the rug out from under the GOP and give us Obama (Read Masters of Audacity and Deceit to see how they did it. https://www.amazon.com/Masters-Audacity-Deceit-William-Been/dp/1613463707 I am a footnote in that book, in the interest of full disclosure.) I thought the Fed would push rates way up and kill the recovery, but they didn't because there was a worse way to kill it with the pandemic shutdowns.
Still, Trump screwed up in appointing Janet Yellen's posterior suction cup Jerome Powell as Chair. He was Yellen's protege' and a staunch Keynsian.
I would add that zero interest rates are ultimately destructive in that they discourage lending; who wants to lend at no profit? We need reasonable interest rates for long-term growth. Especially when the government is forcing banks to lend despite there being no profit in it for them. They'll lend alright - but in a way that will make them money. It's how we got the subprime mortgage industry, as a way to make money by selling money to unqualified buyers to please Uncle Sam.
Keeping rates at zero will keep the economy humming now but there will be a bust in due course. It was a huge part of what led to the Great Recession in the first place, the FED had kept interest rates too low for far too long, and only raised them when Trump was in office to make him look bad.
The low rates led to the housing bubble as everyone could use other people's money to speculate.

It wasn’t a "white supremacist†who killed 14 people in the
2009 Fort Hood shooting, but Muslim extremist Major Nidal Malik Hasan.
It’s also not white supremacists that we’ve expended great blood and
treasure fighting in costly wars since 9/
It’s an unbelievable move, so much so that it could make some wonder: Is the goal really to eliminate radicalism?
Or is it to cultivate a certain kind of convenient radicalism?

The open hostility and hatred of this junta towards America and the American People is astonishing. This is just a way to rub our collective noses in their triumph in stealing this last election. I see no other purpose for it.

In a discussion about nationalizing the police Tom Greer had this to say:
Like everywhere, there were "normal" individuals in the SAP who treated citizens fairly, and others who brutalized guys, either taking them out of city limits & beating them senseless or having their dogs rip into them. It was rumored in Cape Town that tarts were sometimes whisked off the street and taken for a "joy ride" in the police van. There were no seats in the locked-up back of these vans, and the hapless gals were tossed like potatoes as the driver would swerve madly and run over traffic humps at high speed. Even a "guest worker" (gastarbeiter) could be taken away for questioning with little recourse or a phone call. No! I assure all and sundry, we DON'T want a National Police Force! Too bad most Americans have no idea of the morons who were collected to form the Red Guards in Mao's China. Same as the SS and SA in Germany...free to abuse at will.

We are going to be fed a regular diet of global temperature reports in the run-up to the COP26 climate talks later this year. They’re all going to be based on model projections of what’s likely to happen in coming years. The Paris Agreement’s 1.5 °C climate target is in focus, but whether it be exceeded and when remains uncertain.
This link is to a GWPF report on extreme weather in 2020 showing clearly that there is nothing to be alarmed about.

Six sworn affidavits affirm that as many as 30,000 ballots in the Georgia runoff election were fake.
From Citizens Free Press
John Fredericks says Georgia officials are alleging that up to 30,000 of the ballots are fraudulent.
"Six affidavits now, we had four, now it’s six. Six affidavits of veteran election officials are alleging that up to 30,000 of these 147 [thousand] ballots are fake,†said Fredericks. "Somebody printed them up on a machine and ran them through the vote counting machines. They’re not real. They’re not attached to anybody.†Another revelation was that the ballots were unfolded and printed on a different paper than the regular absentee ballots, according to Fredericks.
"Number one, they’re on different paper. What kind of paper are they on? Why isn’t it the same paper that everything else is on? Number two, they’re not folded. Well, what do you mean they’re not folded? In order to get an absentee ballot, you have to get it in the mail. Which means that the Department of Elections in Georgia machine folded the ballot, you can’t have a ballot in an envelope that you mail back, or dropbox back, that’s not folded. You either got it folded, or you send it back folded, or both with an envelope. So why aren’t they folded?â€

With pseudo-elite cultural winds at its back and its
opponents censored, Big Gender had enjoyed years without any high
profile questioning of its agenda. But this changed Sunday evening when
TV’s oldest newsmagazine, 60 Minutes, focused on stories illustrating
the medical malpractice euphemistically
The program featured four young adults who, with very little medical
evaluation, were allowed to "transition,†a process that included
removal of their sex organs. They later regretted their decisions and
became what are incorrectly known as "de-transitione
It wasn’t always like this. Just about a decade
ago, the disorder "gender dysphoria†— in laymen’s terms, the sense
that you’re stuck in the wrong sex’s body — was little known beyond
psychological circles.

Here is a measure of just how distorted and removed from reality our modern dialog has become. We have an entire grievance industry, and people rioting in the streets, based on a totally false premise that white people are killing black people in large numbers ... a claim which is totally contrary to the facts.
Folks, we have enough problems already. Don't let the grievance merchants lie to you and create further dissension and division. I've traveled the world. America is one of the least racist nations I've been in.
Yes, there are still racists in America. But what doesn't exist in any significant way is systemic racism.
Look, think about it dispassionately
And if America were systemically racist, we absolutely would not have a black President elected not only once, but twice.
NONE of that would have happened without the enthusiastic support of our black fellow citizens by the overwhelming majority of white people. Black people are ~ 13% of our nation. The votes of black people didn't pass the laws making racism illegal. The votes of white people did. The votes of black people didn't elect President Obama. The votes of white people did.
Yes, there is residual racism. The remaining
racism is spread by race hustlers and people who get a sense of
superiority from claiming their opponents are "racists"—peopl
Don't buy into their hate-filled racist stories. The facts don't support their lies. In my lifetime, we've almost entirely gotten rid of systemic racism in the US. Don't fall for their lies. They are trying to divide us.
We are a better nation than that. We support and celebrate the successes of everyone, and we must continue to do so without blame, rancor, or bitterness.
My best to my many friends in all of the colors of the rainbow,
w.

George Floyd's autopsy did NOT show several things:
• No petechiae, indicating no strangulation.
• No visible or hidden trauma to the neck, shoulders, face, or larynx, indicating no excess pressure or blows to those areas.
• No scalp, skull, or brain injuries.
• No chest, rib, spine, or viscera injuries.
However, it DID show several other things.
• Positive COVID test
• A high, perhaps lethal level of fentanyl, the most potent of the opiates.
• A level of 65 ng/mL of 4-ANPP, an indication of a fentanyl overdose.
• Methamphetamine
• Cannabis

Seems like everyone has let go of their senses. Despite the massive propaganda program currently in vogue there are no technologies able or scaleable to replace hydrocarbons in the near future as the world’s cheap energy source. And even if something were to have a "Eureka!†Moment it takes decades for such things to become widely available. (And that doesn’t even begin to address the highly questionable ideological and unscientific assault upon hydrocarbons in the first place!)

Nietzsche postulated that Western science would eventually collapse because it would lose faith in it's underlying beliefs that everything is knowable and reality is actually concrete as opposed to subjective. This shows we are at Nietzsche's endgame.
We are now digging at the roots of reality. No civilization that denies reality can survive.

A hallmark of an ideologically shackled civilization is that everything is negatively politicized — even sports. Examples of this abound in our nation today, with kneeling professional football players and "Black Lives Matter†painted on NBA courts. So it’s no surprise that the magazine Sports Illustrated, which has long leaned left, has transitioned into peddling not just frivolity but also utter insanity.

100+ people were shot in NY and Chicago over the past weekend. This goes on every single week and Baltimore, Philadelphia, New Orleans, and St. Louis are nearly as bad. Dems run these 100%.
Anti-Jew hate crimes are up 55%, The Jews have ALWAYS stood up for the Black community. Where are you, Oprah Winfrey? Will Smith? Michelle Obama? Or the LGBTQ community? With your millions of followers on social platforms, why do you remain silent?
Biden's tax proposals do NOTHING to reform our very broken tax system, focusing primarily on increasing rates, but largely ignoring the loopholes, deductions and subsidies that serve the ultra-rich.
A society is on the verge of totalitarianism
You may not vote another's individual rights away and hide behind "democracy". If you do so, you are no better than a criminal, hiring the State to do your plundering.
Biden, explaining the mess at the border says he "Inherited a Broken System.†TRUMP inherited that system and fixed it, providing a long-term solution with negotiated agreements with other countries and construction of a southern border wall. Maintaining the "stay in Mexico†policy alone would have prevented this crisis.
Biden's Farm Aid Bill provides that loans to BLACK farmers be forgiven up to 120% of the loan. (not a typo, look it up). He will not only forgive your debt but will give you another 20% more for not being born white.
The Democratic Party,
the one Party now in charge of everything, is a coalition of people who
wish to destroy America. Big Tech and Hollywood do so because it will
enrich their bank accounts with the Chinese. The more ideological types
want to destroy America because they are every bit as bigoted in their

Nearly 50 years ago, the book "Population Bomb" by Paul Ehrlich, a Stanford biologist, prophesied that the "battle to feed all of humanity" was over, and that the rapid growth in population would lead to environmental catastrophe and wipe out hundreds of millions of people. I well remember reading the book and being a good farm boy and knowing that food production, contrary to the doom sayings of Ehrlich, was advancing more than enough to feed everyone. Distribution and political interference was more an issue than production.
But the world fell for Ehrlich’s false prophecies and lies — lies repeated on the first Earth Day, and by countless others ever since. For the past 50 years apocalyptic doom predictions by climate alarmists have proven utterly false but because the media, and now academia, have been compromised, the world, instead of rejecting these charlatans out of hand, continue to be deliberately gaslighted by them! We are told to "believe the experts†or "the science†but when honest scientists point out the glaring errors and contradictory predictions they are censored, fired, shut down, demeaned, smeared and so on. Their science and the carefully considered observations of history are ignored in favour of "the big lieâ€! What dupes we have become!
The fact is that great advances, made largely possible by the use of cheap energy generated by fossil fuels, advances in areas like food production, health care advances, transportation, medical breakthroughs, mechanization of labour, etc. & etc. have not only fed the world, but lowered death rates, massively improved infant and adult health, made widespread education available (because not as much time needs to be devoted to production of food and other life-sustaining necessities), lowered poverty rates around the world, and so on. By ANY metric the human condition has improved immeasurably since the introduction of fossil fuels some 200 years ago. Back then 90% of the world was reasonably deemed "poor†and life was hardscrabble. Today the UN admits that less than 10% are what they deem in abject poverty.
But today, instead of rejecting the doomsayers like Ehrlich of the world the media, the politicians, academics, and even the UN are embracing them! We totally ignore the great benefits afforded us, we ignore the great advances we have made, we turn our backs upon one of the main drivers (fossil fuels) which has made all this possible, and we embrace failed ideas, failed ideologies, technologies which cannot —EVER— replace fossil fuels and which will make EVERYTHING not only unreliable but horrendously expensive, and therefore out of reach of great masses of humanity. This will plunge most back into mere existence living and will condemn many, many more to death sooner than later. And wasn’t this what Ehrlich was calling for? Because indeed he was! Only he was advocating mass sterilization. But the end result is the same. Population control.
The virtual deification of this apocalyptic ideology has come full circle and will get its wish if people of common sense do not rise up in revolt before we are all destroyed.
https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/takeaway/segments/what-happened-overpopulation-prediction?fbclid=IwAR1981xyf2s_t7TFSrj5mCxnwItnxBZ00DqOjskzJJwRgM6g2MuZyfh3ANM
Tim adds:
Ehrlich was only an updating of Thomas Malthus, who was proven astonishingly wrong and yet he was the template for most of the Progressive programs, including eugenics. And Ehrlich has been at the epicenter of every horrible Progressive idea since. I would remind everyone he predicted mass starvation and chaos around the globe by the year 2000, something that is now well past and didn't happen. But the wonderful liberals still take him as an article of faith and seek to depopulate the planet (look at what Bill Gates says and does, for example.) We've been deceived for two centuries by this Malthusian stupidity which has been disproven time and again but keeps rearing it's ugly head because it is so useful in justifying statism to stem the "emergency" of too many people wanting too many consumer goods.
Oh, and notice how Western populations are shrinking faster than a bottle of scotch at a Kennedy family reunion and will soon be doing likewise in China. There is no problem but we keep acting as though there is. In fact, there may well be far worse from depopulation than overpopulation as we have set everything up to work on more young people than elderly. I am mindfull of Phillip K. Dick's story "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" (the basis of Blade Runner); in it the Earth is horribly UNDER populated and it's a creepy, lonely, and impoverished place. I think Dick nailed it here.
