Top Killer in Canada

Timothy Birdnow

So, in the very large Canadian province of Alberta, can you guess at the number one killer?

If you guessed "unknown causes" you win the stuffed animal!

Yes, the Canadian government has no explanation for what is killing Albertans (and other Canadians.)  And they don't seem especially interested in discovering why so many are dying.

We know why, and we know why they refuse to look into this. Canada was very aggressive in promoting the Covid vaccine.

Well, well, it's easy being idealistic when you don't have to live with your ideals, isn't it? That said, I think the border states should take this leaf out of the Left's book. Unless and until the border is secured, deter these invaders with mountains of red tape. Red tape them right back to where they came from.

Why is Lake Mead Running Dry?

Roy W. Spencer

In The News: Lake Mead water levels dropping to record low levels is usually blamed on "drought", but there has been no statistically significant long-term trend in water availability since Hoover Dam was finished in the late 1930s. What HAS changed is that DEMAND for water from 25 million people (who want to live in a semi-desert region where the sun almost always shines) has almost doubled. As a result, long-term water demand has been exceeding supply since around 2000. This is the main reason Lake Mead is losing water.

Atmospheric Thickening?

Timothy Birdnow

I asked this question on Facebook:

I have a quick question for my friends who are in the climate sciences. It occurs to me that on Mars when the planetary temperature rises the atmosphere thickens - thus promoting dust storms which cool it back down and the atmospheric pressure then drops. If that happens on Mars, is it happening on Earth, and if so shouldn't we have strong data to that effect? I mean, if global warming is what it is claimed to be, is the atmosphere thickening?

A quick search online had a number of sites theorizing this WOULD happen. I found one site claiming it's thickened around the equator but dropped at the polls.

So, is there any evidence of this occurring?

New Agency to Replace FBI

This courtesy of Murray Stewart:

Love the suggestion I heard on Tim Pool's podcast today

2024 Trump needs to get rid of the FBI and start a new organisation without the corruption.

It should be called the Federal Justice Bureau

That way they can all get FJB hats and shirts

Swamp People

Maurizio Morabito

Whatever you think of #Fauci he’s going to step down after heading a major national U.S. government agency after 39 years, that is, 2 years longer than J Edgar Hoover was head of the FBI.

This cannot be a sign of a healthy Republic, rather of a swampy one pushed around by petty power centres

The White House Knew About the Trump Raid

Dana Mathewson

Turns out the raid on Trump's home was pushed by the White House -- in spite of the fact that Slow Joe said he didn't know anything about it. Well, maybe he didn't, but SOMEBODY in the WH sure did!

https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/matt-margolis/2022/08/22/revealed-biden-white-house-directly-involved-in-conspiracy-to-entrap-trump-in-criminal-fbi-probe-n1623323

Tim asks:

What did Biden know and when did he know it? This is a Watergate-like manuever - actually far, far worse than Watergate - and if it was good enough for Nixon it's good enough for Biden. There must be investigations into this.

Why isn't WaPo going after this in the fashion it went after the Nixon Administration?

No National Guard for D.C.

Timothy Birdnow

The mayor of Washington D.C. has requested - and been denied - National Guard troops to deal with the overwhelming problems of illegal aliens bussed into the metropolitan area.

Pentagon DENIES DC Mayor Muriel Bowser's second plea for the National Guard to be deployed to deal with huge influx of migrants into the cit

  • The Pentagon has rejected a second request from Washington, D.C.'s mayor
  • Muriel Bowser has asked for help to deal with migrants arriving in the city by bus
  • Pentagon said it 'would not be appropriate' to use the DC National Guard and that the Defense Department 'cannot fulfill your request'
  • Bowser had initially requested DC National Guard support in late-July when she said the city had reached a 'tipping point' with the number of migrants
  • More than7,500 have now arrived since April in the capital
  • Governors of Texas and Arizona began busing migrants from the southern border to the capital starting in April to protest Biden's immigration policy
  • Texas is now bussing immigrants to the Big Apple on a regular basis
But they could deploy troops against mostly peaceful protesters on Jan. 6, 2020. That WAS appropriate? And those were Americans, not illegal aliens.

Now is the time for Texas and other border states to ramp up the number of aliens they ship to the nation's capital.

Maybe if and when the GOP win Congress they should establish a Jan. 6 style committee to investigate this?

Complete Overreaction in Australia

James Doogue from Down Under:

The best case scenario the experts told us, was 5 million Covid-19 cases and 50,000 deaths. We've had just under 10 million cases, so the best case would be 100,000 deaths according to the expert modelling.

To date we've had just 13,475 deaths and the mean age was 84.7 years of age. But nobody wants to admit that the lock-downs of everyone regardless of age and good health, the closing of businesses and schools, and the closing of state borders, was a complete over-reaction.

We need a Royal Commission so that such abuses of power never happen again.

Genesis

Richard Cronin

Stemming from the knowledge of Plate Climatology, I would contend that the broad Southern Ocean was formed by the opening of the Peru/Chile Trench (driving the El Niño) and the Tonga Trench (driving the La Niña) over geological time frames. The Earth has been expanding since it started decompressing from the earliest years.

An extension of this line of thinking would logically be that prior to the Tonga Trench and the Peru/Chile Trench, the Marianna Trench, the deepest trench in the would act alone to provide a continuous La Niña, with heavy rains across the center of North America and drought across Europe. Dinosaur bones have been discovered in places such as Montana.

Heavier rains produced greater humidity and lower atmospheric pressure. Humidity lessens the density of air. Lower atmospheric pressure at sea level resulted in dinosaurs with large nasal systems along the spine.

The Alvarez hypothesis holds that large asteroid or meteor strikes caused the great extinctions. Dr. Gerta Keller has provided a different cause for the great extinctions. That is, periods of lengthy, extensive volcanism injected highly acidic sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere as well as into the oceans. The SO2 caused defoliation as well as anoxic oceans, leading to marine extinctions. Plodding dinosaurs living close to sea level and suffocated.

It is now thought that the earliest mammals were rodents. One clue is our dental structure, which allow mammals to be omnivores, rather than strictly herbivores. The rodents could scramble to higher elevations and evade the clouds of SO2. Marmosets still live at high elevations in the Rocky Mountains. The early winged dinosaurs could also fly above the clouds of SO2 to escape the deadly fumes. Birds are the descendants of these winged dinosaurs.

With human evolution stemming from rodents, there is another growing line of Evolutionary thought that the human geonome is the "Central Line” of evolution with lesser species as dead ends or sub-optimizatio ns. The great apes evolved away from the Central Line. Evolution is not a one-way street. It is known that the ancestors of the Giant Panda were omnivores. The Giant Pandas found themselves in the forests of bamboo and adapted to the available food source, migrating backwards.

Another piece of evidence for human evolution stemming from rodents are the numerous rats which occupy positions of political power.

Those rats just climbed higher up the ladder than the rest of us. Heh. Heh.

Tim adds:

It has been speculated that humanity briefly returned to the water. That explains a number of unique human attributes, like tear ducts and rudimentary webbing between our toes and a number of other things (like our having less hair.) Not sure I buy it but it is an intriguing thought.

So perhaps it's not rodents in Washington but crocodiles? Or Crock-o-dials, we could  call them.

The Right to Mobility

I had this published back in '08 and it's more true today than ever:

The right to mobility: How the left is violating our fundamental liberty by refusing our right to drill for oil

When the Bill of Rights was introduced to the U.S. Constitution, an argument erupted over the need for amendments specifically enumerating the rights of Americans. The Constitution states quite plainly that any powers not expressly granted to the United States government are reserved to the States and the People. In short, there should have been no need to enumerate rights; they were granted not by men but by God, after all, and the Constitution made it plain that America's central government was to be seriously circumscribed.

But many feared the power of this new, stronger union and the ''elastic clause'' (Article I, Sec. VIII) granting the power to do what was ''necessary and proper'' for the welfare of that union, and so the first ten amendments were introduced to guarantee the freedom of the citizenry. One freedom that never made it into the Constitution was so basic, it probably never occurred to the Founders that there was a need for a formal inclusion; the right to mobility.

Just as the right to own property was not included because it was seen as self-evident, the right to move about is one of the roots of liberty, something absolutely unabridgeable in a free society and likewise self-evident. A number of the individual States incorporated this fundamental right into their constitutions, and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled early on in Corfield v. Coryell (1823) and in a series of subsequent rulings (Paul v. Virginia, Ward v. Maryland, U.S. v Harris, etc.) the right to travel was a fundamental thing, although it was not specifically within the jurisdiction of the United States government; after all, those rights were reserved to the States and the People.

Then we must consider this:

"Personal liberty largely consists of the Right to locomotion to go where and when one pleases only so far restrained as the Rights of others may make it necessary for the welfare of all other Citizens. The Right of the Citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, by horsedrawn carriage, wagon, or automobile, is not a mere privilege which may be permitted or prohibited at will, but the common Right which he has under his Right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Under this Constitutional guarantee one may, therefore, under normal conditions, travel at his inclination along the public highways or in public places, and while conducting himself in an orderly and decent manner, neither interfering with nor disturbing another's Rights, he will be protected, not only in his person, but in his safe conduct." - American Jurisprudence 1st, Constitutional Law, Section 329, p. 1135.

In fact, mobility rights have become a part of international law, with the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights declaring that:

(1) Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state.

(2) Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country.

So even liberals should appreciate the importance of freedom of mobility; the U.N. declared it a fundamental right! It is not just about building roads and bridges, either; it means that the government of the United States has a duty to encourage the free movement of her citizenry by whatever manner those citizens see fit.

This freedom we take for granted has a long pedigree, going back to Persian King Cyrus the Great's permission of his newly conquered subjects to move about his empire freely (and thus allowing the Israelites to return to their homeland). The Magna Carta had this to say about the right to travel:

''It shall be lawful to any person, for the future, to go out of our kingdom, and to return, safely and securely, by land or by water, saving his allegiance to us, unless it be in time of war, for some short space, for the common good of the kingdom: excepting prisoners and outlaws, according to the laws of the land, and of the people of the nation at war against us, and Merchants who shall be treated as it is said above.''

This fundamental right of movement is, as is true of all rights, something that does not impose any burden on others, but does require governments to cooperate in it's free exercise. Heavy restrictions on travel, or burdensome regulations on the means of travel, act to deny this fundamental liberty. After all, there is a reason the government builds roads and bridges, and enforces traffic laws; without these things the public would find mobility difficult, and their right to move about restricted. Liberals are always complaining about infrastructure, so they should understand the necessity of this fundamental right; why spend money on building thoroughfares if people can't afford to use them?

Of course, commerce would be impossible without the right to mobility, and we would never have had a Union without recognition of this right to move about. America would never have been anything more than a series of isolated villages without the means to travel, and there would have been no economy to speak of. We would never have had a westward expansion, our forefathers would never have conquered a continent, had it been believed (as other peoples have in the past) that travel should be restricted by government. Shipping meant trade, and the American Revolution was largely fought over British interdiction of free shipping of goods. Road building made it possible for Americans to travel west, and California would be a backwater had it not had good harbors for ships, railroads, and later Route 66. The commerce so necessary to our lives also funds our government through the taxes we pay, and so that government is obligated to maintain the easy flow of people, goods, and services to justify taking that money. The lives we enjoy are predicated on the ability to travel as we see fit. And, of course, one of the principle duties enumerated in the Constitution of the United States is to foster and regulate interstate commerce; something that requires the government do everything in its power to make mobility easier.

Our ability to move about is dependent in modern times on oil. With affordable fuel we have the means to exercise that basic right. Without it we are being oppressed by a government that is withholding a fundamental liberty.

We have much of the oil we need here in America, buried under publicly owned land (i.e. the People's land), but environmental restrictions have made it impossible to obtain and refine that resource for our use. We have ''designer fuels'', mandates requiring the use of ''renewable resources'' that do not work, limits on the use of coal, on nuclear power, etc. forcing us to waste oil to generate electricity. In this way U.S. government policy has abridged the right of the people to mobility by driving the price of fuel beyond the reach of many. (Granted, bad monetary policy and international markets have helped to drive this price up, though not commodities speculators as is often alleged.) This is an issue of human rights, and should be recognized as such.

That is why I believe we have gone off-track in our arguments for more energy exploration; we are approaching the matter from an economic and political viewpoint, rather than one of basic rights. This argument should be framed as the right to mobility versus the regulatory burden of an overweight government determined to use the many laws on the books to restrict our freedom to travel.

One of the first things tyrants do when they take power is restrict the right to travel. The Roman Emperor Diocletian restricted the right of the peasantry to move off their tenant farms, laying the groundwork for medieval serfdom. The Russian Tsars did likewise at a later date. The Bolsheviks always required special passes for travel, and the fascist state in modern Russia is now doing likewise. Ditto Castro. Control of the movement of people means control of the individual.

It should be pointed out that those who are more mobile generally defeat those who are sedentary in warfare. It has been so since the taming of the horse and demonstrated repeatedly in every war. Ask those who fought the Mongols, the Spaniards, Napoleon, the British Navy, Rommel, or the U.S. mechanized army with fast tanks and aircraft.

In fact the ability to move fast is on a par with the ownership of guns when it comes to defending liberties. In the Revolutionary War, Washington's ability to outrun the British army eventually won the day. British General Burgoyne and the other commanders could never catch him! Santa Ana could never catch Sam Houston in Texas, for that matter, but Houston's men caught him at San Jacinto; he was too slow. A speedy public makes tyranny difficult.

Which is precisely why liberals hate the automobile; it grants a level of independence impossible to those in less developed nations. Liberal thought is all about control; they seek to fundamentally change human nature, and to do that they must have a high level of control over the individual. Theirs' is a crusade to change beliefs and minds, and one cannot change what one cannot catch. The mobility of Americans -- both physical via autos and intellectual via the internet and other uncontrolled media makes implementing liberal policies impossible. The New Man cannot emerge as long as the Old Man can out-run him! This ability to move about means chaos to many on the Left, and that cannot be allowed.

The liberals have tried to control our mobility, through public transportation, urban renewal projects, restrictions on driver's licenses and vehicle ownership, and other methods, but the American people love their cars, and demand cheap fuel to operate them, spoiling their plans. Now, however, environmental restrictions and the religion of Global Warming have given the Left a new tool to restrict that right to travel. Taxation, restrictions on energy exploration, restrictions on refining capacity, regulations on emissions, other pollution regulations, etc. have been imposed to stop Americans from whizzing around where they will, ruining the grand design of liberal statists.

So, we have an energy crisis largely imposed by the government. If freedom of mobility is a basic human right, granted in our Constitution, seen by the Founding Fathers as being granted by a beneficent God to believer and non-believer alike, then our governmental policies can best be summed up as tyrannical. They must be changed! We should be using the language of the Civil Rights era when discussing this. Schumer, Reid, Pelosi, et. al are the bigots -- and elitists -- blocking the doorway to every American's mobility. The liberals want to keep us on their plantation, dependent on them for the things we need rather than letting us go out and get things for ourselves. And, oh yes! Women and minorities are hardest hit, since they have to pay the highest proportion of their incomes to transportation costs.

The U.S. government is not duty bound to drill for oil, but it has a sacred obligation to get out of the way of those who want to do it for us. The right to mobility should not be infringed! ESR

Special thanks to writerJack Kemp (not the politician) for helping to pull this together.

Latinophobia and Caucasiiaphobia

Timothy Birdnow

I was wondering how long it would be berfore someone made this case. There IS a dearth of Hispanics on television compared to the number of black people, whom the Hispanics outnumber. But this is by design; the media doesn't want to spook white America with a flood of Latino faces, and they don't want to anger blacks who still think they are the largest minority. So the media treads lightly, trying to keep Hispanics under the radar by and large. If they didn't there would be growing demand for border security and not letting the floods of illegals into the country, and they know that full well.

Latinophobia in Mainstream News Fuels the Radical Right

Nobody ever mentions caucasiaphobia, I notice.

These nutcases accuse the state run media of not having enough Latinos, and claim this causes "Latinophobia"

Police Refuse to Enforce the Law

Timothy Birdnow

Police in San Francisco are just letting criminals walk away when catching them in the act.

According to Not the Bee S-F cops let a man walk away and even gave him directions to the bus stop when they caught him stealing the catalytic converter from under a car.

What is the point of having police if they do not enforce the law?

What is going to happen is the Mafia will return as a law enforcement mechanism. That's how they began their existence in Sicily, enforcing justice where the corrupt local authorities refused to do so. And that's where they will return if this keeps up.
