A lot of LOL moments in this article. And a lot of wisdom, as always. Thanks 😊

If I don't take a break from the serious, my soul starts dribbling out of my pants and onto the carpet. Then my cats start licking it up and it's just a chore to track that down in the litter box.

"The whole plan is so simple that mentally challenged European leaders like Macron and Merkel can have militarized police ensure success anywhere people aren't cooperating. Heck, even Biden could probably pull it off. " Trudeau beat all of them to it....Freedom Convoy......

All the intentional scarcity of energy (and fertilizer, and food) is accompanied by real suffering around the world. The corruption spanning through governments, corporations, investment groups, media, should soon become apparent even to those most deeply asleep, especially as gene therapy harm becomes overwhelming.

I hope so. If people don't wake up, those of us taking these risks will not be treated kindly. I'll probably have gender reassignment surgery, change my name, and start identifying as Director of the NIAID as my survival gambit. I identify as somebody who dies peacefully in her sleep in her 90s.

at least we are humorous in our cynicism

Let's think this through....

Why would they purposely starve the world of energy? You've already admitted they control governments, corporations, investment groups. media... so what good would starving billions of people serve? Is there anything more to control?

We've also seen the clip where Klaus says he 'has his people in high positions across the world' They even have a website exposing their Evil Plan https://time.com/collection/great-reset/

Then we have Klaus in his Dr Evil outfit https://newsvoice.se/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Klaus-Schwab-Blofelt.jpg

Do you think that maybe... you are being played???? They seem to be very intent on telling everyone about their Evil Plan... a bit too intent perhaps?

Do you think they may be trying to distract from the true energy situation i.e. that we've passed peak and we are f789ed? We live on a finite planet - and we've got 8B ripping through the finite resources... all good things end.

Do you think that when we peaked on affordable energy CNN would run a mega headline - PEAK ENERGY IS HERE - WE ARE DOOMED.

The odds of that are about as high as seeing a headline MASSIVE ASTEROID WILL DESTROY EARTH ON JUNE 10 2023.

It amazes me how people are so easily controlled ... they are running ya'll around by your noses...

There will not be a Great Reset. That's impossible and that ain't the plan

Natural gas and power prices in Europe and Asia are at record highs, while U.S. prices have doubled this year.

Multiple factors have contributed to the energy crunch, including demand bouncing back while supply remains constrained.

“The U.S. is much more insulated from this global energy trend than the rest of the world,” said Francisco Blanch, head of global commodities research at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

I love this. Brilliant piece of writing.

Bottom line though . . . we are still ruled and surrounded by utter fuckwits. What to do about that?

Brother, you have outdone yourself!

Thanks for some mirth in the bleakness

"There are those who say that no nuclear power can ever be safe enough to keep them from reliving the memory of watching a documentary about Chernobyl on TV." This brought me to the brink of incontinence! (it is "Saran Wrap", which I only know as in the 70's a book called The Total Woman advocated greeting home-from-work-hubbie at the door wrapped only in it--not a satire or even half a satire!)

The Simpsons prediction phenomena strikes again. D'oh

The ability of your writing to fool AI text scanners by using old or unique phrasing is masterful. And I mean that as a big complement! :)

I would say your style is consistently witty but this one grabbed me a lot of times. Also necessary for me after listening to Mike Adams interview Dave Hodges 2 days ago...

Fukushima survived the earthquake just fine.

It did not survive the Tsunami.

The lesson learned is when you build a nuclear reactor in a tsunami zone, you might as well build a submarine around it to protect it from seawater flooding.

Earthquake zones are fine, so long as the earthquake cannot disrupt any needed cooling water.

I mean really, if you are looking for warp speed: USA, and in fact Russia both have a considerable stockpile of Nuclear ICBM’s that are just sitting there looking bored. We should launch a good number of them into Europe — maybe somewhere central like Davos — this winter to warm the place up. If you average over the entire winter you could get a nice comfortable temperature.

Expand full comment

Right — so if you do a Castle/Bravo shot in Davos we’re looking like 63,000 TJ — of which maybe a third is probably thermal energy. So call it 20,000 TJ. 10’s of PetaJoules is I guess what they’re aiming to save by 2030… So this is good. Then its all a matter of how you bin your histogram later.

I'm seeing nuclear being promoted a lot lately. Blasting, mining, transporting and refining millions of tons of earth using trucks the size of large houses, and processing and refining uranium/plutonium, building nuclear reactors and power plants, and building facilities for storing the waste are not magically provided by the 𝐧𝐮𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐲.

I've searched in vain for a comprehensive cost/benefit analysis of all this activity versus the electrical output, sans the government subsidies for weapons programs.

There's a very interesting possibility that the safety and storage issue has actually overblown for ulterior purposes- https://rumble.com/embed/v17a3yp/?pub=4 but does the net energy out of the system exceed or even equal the gross energy in, or is it just shifting the fossil fuel consumption out of sight and out of mind, like electric cars?

There are some very interesting contemporary reactor designs. Putting aside the issue of how we can avoid more Hanford sites and ocean dumping by forcing criminal and civil responsibility for fissile material from cradle to grave on to the appropriate parties, how do the economics 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺break down?

"I've searched in vain for a comprehensive cost/benefit analysis"

I hear you. Information that important is rarely free. It takes education, access, and time to produce. There is no economic feedback loop for that level of education in media...and that is what RTE seeks to begin creating.
