“Contrary to the claims of proponents of the Green New Deal and Net Zero, fossil fuels are the greenest fuels.
First, uniquely among energy sources, fossil fuel use emits CO2, which is the ultimate source of the elemental building block, carbon, found in all carbon-based life, i.e., almost all life on Earth.”

The popular commentator said he’d cut off energy supplies to the EU if he were the president of Russia
Popular conservative political commentator Jordan Peterson has tried to get into Russian President Vladimir Putin’s head and predict how Russia’s conflict with the West in Ukraine will unfold. Peterson said that if he were the Russian president he would leave the EU without energy supplies in the winter.
“I know what I’d do in his shoes,” he said on the Piers Morgan Uncensored show on Thursday. “I’d wait till the first cold snap and shut off the taps.”

The clock seems to be ticking. Growing disparities in wealth, a housing and gas crisis, transhumanism galloping over the horizon, heroized incivility, and the constant threat of viruses, the “cures” for which may be worse than the diseases.
Global politics feels eerily apocalyptic these days and, in our own little worlds, many of us are so lost, so unmoored from the comforts of our pre-pandemic lives, that we don’t know which end is up or what the future will hold. Investigative journalist Trish Wood recently wrote that we are living the fall of Rome (though it’s being pushed on us as a virtue).
I wonder, are we falling as Rome did?
Powerless Times Ahead.
It is a still winter night in Green-topia.
Wind turbines are idle; solar panels are in darkness; some are covered with snow.
In the rich green suburbs, electric cars are getting re-charged. Lights, heaters and TV are on, and coffee is percolating.
Where is the electricity coming from?
I watched an excellent speech from a young American student as he addressed his school board.
It was uplifting and worrying, all at the same time.
Uplifting because he was the voice of reason and commonsense. It was worrying because he should never have had to make the speech in the first place.
Here is a transcript.

In 1946 CS Lewis wrote the book called That Hideous Strength where twisted transhumanists were trying to live forever and merge people with machines and forever change what it means to be human. This sounds a bit familiar. In this story the transhumanists had a severed head that they were artificially keeping alive. When communicating with the head they thought they were speaking to the artificial intelligence when they were in fact being guided by what could best be described as fallen angels or demonic entities. It is unclear whether our globalist antagonists are guided by dark entities or are just simply evil for the sake of being evil.

For thousands of years, a diagnosis of leprosy meant a life sentence of social isolation.
People afflicted with the condition now known as Hansen’s disease were typically taken from their families, treated with prejudice, and cruelly exiled into a lifetime of quarantine.
Does this sound familiar? Isn't this happening all over again with the vaccinations? But who will be the lepers? Us or them?
That is the question.

The current US president finally said it during a 60 Minutes interview: “The pandemic is over.” Though obviously true by the classical definition, Biden’s comment seemed almost accidental, said as an echoed response to a direct question.
Consider, however, that many times as many people die from Covid daily in the US (300-400) than when the US first announced the outrageous lockdowns of March 16, 2020. In those days, deaths were approaching 50 per day, mostly in New York. It will very likely get worse over the winter months.
When I think about horses in times of war, it is hard not to immediately think about the most famous horse of all: the Trojan Horse.
I must admit that I have always found it strange that the Trojans can't have been the sharpest knife in the drawer. They fell for a trick that even the most naive of us would have yelled most loudly " Don't do it! "
Still, perhaps times have not changed so much: we still appear to let the enemy in, don't we?
But, of course, the real war horses from history were not made of wood. They were heroes and served alongside their mates as earnestly as their human masters.
So today, I want to pay homage to the brave horses and the dogs who served us so well in times of war and perished in piteous circumstances. They were among the mightiest of the mighty and dear and trusted mates.
“The Chief of the European Central Bank (ECB) has said that climate change is behind soaring inflation, stating that droughts and famines are driving up prices.
“If more and more climate disasters, droughts, and famines occur throughout the world, there will be repercussions on prices, on insurance premiums, and on the financial sector,” Lagarde said.
“We need to take that into account.”
No, what we actually need to take into account is that the so-called Climate Crisis is complete hogwash, starting with the basics of so-called man-made global warming. The fact is, the present era is one of the coolest and least carbon-intensive periods of the last 600 million years.

When I was a child, my teacher taught us the story of Grace Darling, a heroine of enormous courage. I wonder how many of us have heard her name today or know of her incredible act of heroism one dark and stormy night in 1838?
For there are many heroes in history whose names have been forgotten and whose acts of bravery have been washed ashore on a beach and taken away by the waves of indifference.
This is our salute to one person whose name and deed should never be forgotten and, in the words of Wordsworth " "But courage, Father! let us out to sea,
A few may yet be saved."
