Party Pooper Podcast

PrologueI posted this piece, as part of a series, about mid-year. Today, I saw this on X."Food and water are inextricably linked; 70% of global freshwater extraction is for agriculture."@mariammalmheiri#COP28This is one of the false issues the cult uses to market its nonsense. I’ll be banging away on this subject and the Davos cult in coming weeks. But for now, here is the redux. Call it a primer. Listen now.I’ve been saying there are ten major areas where we have to get our shit together in order to get through the next two decades with any kind of success. I lied. It’s 11.The topics are Energy, Crime, Civility, Education, Maturity, Economics, Life Skills, Trades, Immigration and Water. Today, I am adding Food to the list but not for obvious reasons.I have already hit Education, Economics and Water. I may revisit Ed. and Econ. before the series is finished. But for now, since I am thinking of it today, let’s talk about Food. This is a fairly simple topic so I may have time to bring in another topic before this episode is up. As many of you know, a great deal of this series is based on the work of Peter Zeihan. His book, The End of the World is Just the Beginning is a must read. If you don’t read another book this year, if you haven’t cracked a book in a decade, you MUST read this one…and, well, my next book…and the one I am serializing here. But I digress.In his book, Zeihan details his view of what the world faces as populations age out and the deglobalization that will follow in short order. The picture ain’t pretty. A common theme throughout his thesis is this. Because of our geography, relatively healthy/young-ish population and productive neighbors, the US should get through this era in fairly good shape compared to the rest of the world.I would agree with that IF (caps, bold, italicized) we had a stable, civil population, an honest government and a true free market fully functioning today. We don’t. Today’s topic is a prime example of the weaknesses we face that could put this country needlessly into a tailspin as the world comes unglued. When I started this series I didn’t see food as a major concern. But as I thought about it further I realized that many of the stupid things we do in the agricultural arena, if permitted to continue, will negate some or all of the advantage we should have.Keep in mind that we still import lots of food to this country. We export too, but that is a matter of abundance in specific food sub-groups. When the existing world trade and production system begins to break down, certain foods will become rather scarce; far more scarce than they should be.If we didn’t have an over-bloated central government, peopled by dipshits, I wouldn’t worry. But we do. They are intentionally making the production of food difficult to ward off local, potential, theoretical problems at the cost of creating HUGE, real, national problems.Because of their restrictions on natural gas, fertilizers are extremely expensive. When framers complained about this they were told not to worry, the GOVERNMENT is going to set the new lower STANDARD for how much fertilizer you can use. Without such Maoist interference from the Nanny State, yields are already dropping across the country. The government is going to see to it they drop further, in the name of making your life better.The fact is we should already be doing two things regarding our veggies. We should be goosing yield as quickly as possible and growing more varieties in anticipation of losing many from the international market. Even some of those will go away for a very long time since we can’t grow them here. But at least we can widen our own varieties of grain and vegetables.Second, in order to facilitate those varieties, WE NEED TO STOP PUTTING FOOD IN OUR GAS TANKS!!! You’ve heard me talk about this before. By subsidizing ethanol much of our farmland has been plowed under for the production of corn. This makes the gas you buy more expensive, causes the cost of the abandoned produce more expensive, scorches the cylinders in your engine and decreases mileage - defeating the intended purpose of less pollution. The political whores know all of this. But they can’t let go of the subsidy. It keeps money from farmers associations and PACs coming into their own pockets…er, uh… I mean into their campaign funds. They are intentionally damaging our food production for a pointless but lucrative exercise that helps NO ONE! So, no more food in gas tanks. Write your representatives, state and local, NOW.I’ll have more on this when I cover Energy specifically. That will be a multi-episodic topic.It’s not just the veggiesThe DC Stalinists are actively destroying our beef and pork industries through onerous regulations. We should be swimming on beef and pork. But, as was announced by the Davos/WEF cult (present owners of most of our government), beef will be permitted as an occasional treat for the masses. Only wealthy people (them) will be able to afford it after they finish crushing the industry.You will be permitted to eat all the bugs the plants they own can produce.And for the record, yes, I do believe the destruction of our meat processing plants and the deaths of so many cows, pigs and chickens stinks to high heaven. For example, we were told last month the 18,000 COWS died in an explosion and fire at a dairy farm. 18,000? Did the explosion kill them? If so, how large was the tactical nuke? Did the fire kill them - and not the guy the firemen pulled out alive? If it was the fire, how long were the animals allowed to cook? That’s a lot of big animals. And last year it seemed like every month we were hearing about yet another fire at a processing plant. So there’s that.Then there’s the fish.I saw an ad on TV about whales and dolphins beaching themselves in great numbers. The idiotic upshot of the commercial was that the sea mammals were beaching themselves because of climate change. It’s pure propaganda. It is 180 degrees out from the truth.Whales and dolphins are beaching themselves in huge numbers right now. But it isn’t because of climate change. It is because of the way the government and cronies are wasting your money in the oceans with worthless tinker toy ideas which they pretend will fight climate change. For months they have been sounding the east coast preparing to put wind turbines off the best beaches we have. Sea mammals caught between the sonar and the beach are running up on the beach to get away from the deafening and disorienting noise.I’ll leave aside the uselessness and ugliness of the stupid windmills, again for when I discuss energy. Now we’ll just stick to the impact they’ll have on food.But we don’t eat whales and dolphins. That’s true. Those poor animals are suffering pointless deaths from what will kill off our east coast fishing industry from New York to South Carolina. And they’ll continue to kill themselves when the windmills are in place.But it will be the construction of these monstrosities that will disrupt prime fishing areas. What fish are not killed by the actually construction will move, likely into international waters. They will move because of the massive construction that will occur over many years. They will stay away, and mammals will continue to beach themselves because the windmills will impart their own sound signature in the waters for as long as they are turning. The sea life will see these areas as danger zones for about 25 years. That will be when the last of these wind pigs stops turning because NO ONE will overhaul or replace them.So years from now, our grandchildren will point to the derelicts and ask, “Grandpa, what are those?” And you can answer, “Oh, just some useless shit the Biden Administration left for us.”Here’s the upshot.Picture your favorite seafood restaurant at your favorite beach resort on the east coast. I was in one last week. My sons and I, and some friends went to Carmen’s in Sea Isle. It’s a fine place and a famous landmark. The majority of the menu is local catch; whatever is in season. Once construction starts on the useless pin wheels there will be NO meaningful fishing off the Jersey shore. What fish survive the destruction will leave. Carmen’s will have no point to continue to exist for many years, if ever again. This will be the case in town after town for 650 miles - more than that if you follow the contours of the coast.And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Every person who benefits from the seafood industry, both as consumers and providers (processing, packaging, transporting, equipment suppliers, retailers and countless other ripple effect businesses that surround seafood facilities, small and large) will suffer needlessly. The industry will be destroyed on the east coast.Food is the keystone issue.I heard it said, I know not the author, if you have food you have lots of problems. If you don’t have food you have one problem.Of all the pieces of our lives this series addresses, food is king. Without it, and in abundance, all other problems become pointless issues. People will start dying - needlessly. If Peter Zeihan is correct about the collapse of the Chinese economy, the demographic meltdown, the transportation disruptions and much more, food will become a dicey deal everywhere. Mathematically, I don’t see that as a BIG “if”! Zeihan says he doesn’t see it as a major problem here for the reasons I mentioned earlier. But in the last several decades we have become masters at wasting time and resources on stupid pursuits. Or government is notorious for doing exactly the opposite of what should be done.While ruining every sector of the economy they can, energy, labor, lending, savings and more, they are using Orwellian and Rand-ian nonsense to destroy our food supply.If we don’t loosen the screws on natural gas NOW and allow the fertilizer industry to recover before things come unraveled then all the rest of the list we’re covering here won’t matter. If the Regime continues to trash our fisheries with the wind tinker toys, a whole sector of life on the east coast will disappear. We can have a civil, educated, non-gender-psychotic society. If that society can’t eat it still goes in the crapper along with civility, education and gender, and the rest of the list.All the points work together and MUST be brought into working order. NOW!So my question is, as always, how long will YOU let this continue? Whether we speak of just the food issue, or the whole list, how long will YOU allow it to go on? Email you representatives, state and federal. Troll their social media. Badger them into action NOW - before things get desperate. By the time the first idiotic wind pig blights the eastern shore, by the time the farming sector starts to die, it WILL be too late for letters and emails. Things will get extreme and angry quicklyHere is how the BIG FOOD SCAM will work (is working).In the Netherlands, quoting the Davos/WEF cult as the author of the bullshit, the government spoke of how THEY should tell farmers how to farm and distribute the food, based on race and social status of the recipients.This scam was played elsewhere, for example, Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka has ceased to exist as a country as a direct result.The take over and denial of a proper amount of fertilizer is being touted as an answer to Climate Change. At the same time The Cult is preaching that coming food shortages will be caused by CC/GW. This is a lie, of course. We haven’t even gotten into the stage of extended growing seasons from CC/GW. If that actually happens it will still be long time before the Iberian peninsula turns into a desert. In fact, there is strong thinking that increases in CO2 will lead to the forestation of some desert areas. The CERTAIN food disruptions will come - are already starting to come - from falling demographics and deglobalization. ANY “answer” that is created by the government/Davos Cult will be total mess. Our international food sector will operate with the quality and efficiency of a Soviet car company. That’s not EVEN a maybe. It is a mathematical certainty.The reason Davos/WEF is pursuing this is to further control you. They see what I see. They see what Zeihan sees. And they want to cash in on it. That’s why China and Bill Gates are buying swaths of farmland in North America. They’ll game the markets, they’ll decide what is grown and the Cult will control distribution - period. Our food, our labor will be doled out to the world; the rest of the Davos domain.The absolute result in this country will be diminished incentives to farm and produce maximum results. This will result in LESS food being created and more starvation around the world.The free market is the answer. To defeat these Cultists, states, municipalites and farm communities need to band together and IGNORE the new EPA and Dept of Ag policies (they make ‘em up every other month) and work with the energy sector privately to establish a strong market for natural gas-supported fertilizer. “Let not the lies exist through me".” Solzhenitsyn ImmigrationI am about to find out who, among my readership, are liars.We have some time. These podcasts usually run between 40 minutes to an hour. I try to give you lots to cover during your commute, run, walk or whatever you do while listening.The government told you Obamacare would make medicine more affordable FOR EVERYONE. They said you could keep your doctor. Those are lies, factually false and intentionally so. The present puppet show called the Biden Administration repeatedly says the THEY (the administration) have created 10 million new jobs. Sometimes the say 7 million. No matter. Both are lies. We’re about 250,000 jobs above pre-Covid levels. The rest have been people returning to work after a one to two year vacation. The pathetic real growth that occurred, as was the case in the Barry O years, has occurred despite the damage done by the respective regimes.The Regime tells you the Inflation Reduction Act was an inflation reduction act. [loud game show buzzer] OH! Another lie, thanks for playing. The crony boondoggle known as the IRA (retarded legislation, not the terrorist group) threw a few subsidies out their for some connected sectors. That is not an anti-inflationary action. It is the opposite. Paying for part of an end-user’s costs in a chosen sectors is not fighting inflation. The direct effect WILL BE more inflation.The rest of the crony boondoggle was splashing trillions more dollars into the pockets of people who will pretend to fight climate change with the stupid machines discussed in the previous segment. They won’t work as advertised; not even close. I’ve demonstrated why before and will do so again later in this series. And the crony climate “fixers” will pocket the lion’s share of the money, your fucking money, for themselves. So yeah, Inflation Reduction a lie too. I’ll do one more whopper before moving on to the immigration lies.In January of this year, son of a mobbed up Union boss, Richard Trumka, Jr. made a truth poopie. He said the Consumer Products Safety commission was considering banning gas stoves. Alarm bells went off everywhere. Brandon’s press bimbo read from her binder that there were no plans to ban gas stoves. Then New York banned natural gas (NG) stoves in any new construction or renovations.Then Brandon’s goons banned a whole slew of new gas stoves. “But not all of them,” was their response to the charges of lying AGAIN. But they WILL eventually get rid of all gas stoves. By banning the ones most people can afford, they know they will see a massive decline in the use of the stoves as time goes by. This will lower demand on NG to an unserviceable level. When the demand sinks low enough, the valves are shut and no more gas goes to households. But they’re not banning ALL OF THEM! Don’t be silly!I will leave aside the obtuse stupidity of the regime in not considering having multiple methods of cooking and heating in all neighborhoods when say, the lights go out for a long time. You’ll need wood stoves, natural gas, propane, electric from generators, whatever can be found and shared. And there will be many times in many places where the lights will go out for a very long time in the near future. I touched on that in a previous post Time is NOT Our Friend, and will say more on that later.If you follow the White House Twitter feed, you will find that several times daily, they blast out another falsehood. And I’m not talking about Trump-y kinds of lies - mostly silly exaggerations. I’m talking about lies, that when believed, shift power. These daily lies, with five minutes of effort can be immediately debunked. And you don’t have to go to FOX or Newsmax to do it. A search through AP or the New York times will usually do the trick. If you are the least aware of your world and STILL believe any of the above bullshit, you’ll buy the next one too.So, why continue to be a sucker?I demonstrated all those lies to ask why people believe the government on immigration.After 2 years and more than 5 million known illegals strolling across our southern border from ALL OVER THE WORLD we continue to hear from Alejandro Mayorkas that the border “is not open.” He thinks he’s being slick with that line. Note he doesn’t say, “The border is closed.” He is stupid and elitist enough to think that YOU are stupid. You’ll think, well, it’s not open so the millions of illegals must not be the Regime’s fault. If you do, poofy Al is right. You are stupid.Our southern border ceased to exist in all but name only in January of 2021. The only bottle neck was the theater of pretending to “process” the hordes streaming across and Title 42. The border now doesn’t even exist as a fig leaf. People hired to defend that border now serve as clerks and nursemaids to these ungrateful asylum scammers. Except for tiny holes being plugged by the Texas National Guard, there IS NO border. But Mayorkas still lies and says “the border is not open.”Now there are people, even people reading this post right now who will defend the lie. Anyone who would do that is a liar themselves. Whether they are just lying to themselves or lying to all of us, they are still liars.There is a very specific mistake we are making at the WORST possible time in our history. It isn’t that we are taking on immigrants. It’s that we are taking on the wrong kinds of immigrants. And no, douche, I don’t mean Hispanic when I say that. Remember, the illegals we have violating our borders are not just from Latin American countries. They are from all over the world. They are using this route because they saw clearly that the Regime was cooperating with the cartels to import as many people and drugs as possible. We’ll get to the why later.The hyper-bullshit now rears it’s ugly head.Before we get to the fix, let me talk about the justification THE LIARS have used for years to let every prick looking for a pay raise cross the Rio Grand. It’s the the existing law.I think some time this week I’ll knock over a bank or a liquor store. I have the perfect justification. The existing laws are broken. They don’t give me the things I want. So I must do as I please to get what I want. If you dare tell me I can’t or, heaven forbid, arrest me, you’re a racist. You’re backward. You don’t care about my rights.Pro-illegal jagoffs want things too. A pay raise (illegals), cheap labor (government cronies), or blue votes (the Regime). They want these things and can’t get them under existing law. Therefore existing law is broken. Because they KNOW they don’t have the valid argument to actually change the law to allow for a border rush, they simply ignore existing law. As a bonus, the Regime kills more people with fentanyl every year than we lost in 11 years in Vietnam. Yes, the regime is actively facilitating the movement of drugs and people across our border illegally. OUR GOVERNMENT is KILLING AMERICANS - US by the trainload every week.For the truly slow, the government is engaging in criminal activity. How much more stupid can we become before we go the way of Sri Lanka?So, why the immigration scam?The first answer is obvious. We have a government that let’s people flock across the border unchecked (they simply refuse parole and are allowed to go anywhere they want) or checked (they accept parole and are given a court date years hence that they WILL NOT show up for). No one is stopped unless it’s a really slow day and they catch a few of the thousands of pieces of dogshit who are coming through with the hoards, terrorists, rapists, murderers, etc. Most of them stroll through unmolested as well.We have a government that stands by while states allow illegals to vote. And they file suit against states that enact voter ID laws. They also keep pushing for fast track citizenship for every swinging dick that comes across. How much more naked can it be? These are MILLONS of future democrats. I’m not saying Hispanics and Haitians and Chinese and Ukrainians are automatically Democrat. The educated ones, usually legal immigrants, are certainly NOT liberal. But of the millions flooding in, the only thing they know about America is one party gives them stuff! So they’ll vote to get more stuff. REAL immigrants are smart and mostly right wing. The illegal hoards are not. They don’t understand representative government as laid out in the Constitution. But then, neither does the average American citizen.So, yeah. By adding an estimate 8 or 9 million KNOWN illegals to the mix WILL mean votes for the Donkey.The second reason is a little more nuanced. It’s a shiny object to keep you from noticing boring stuff like declining crop yields, failing wind mills and solar cells, ChiComms CONTINUING to buy up America (while lining political pockets), the swing toward digital currency (in progress), the bug factory in Canada where you’ll be forced to get some of your protein through the manipulation of your digital currency, the destruction of the beef and pork industry.When was the last news story you saw about how large wind farms effect the movement of surface winds? And oh, kill birds, lots and lots of birds - and big ones.Finally, they are teeing up the intended racial, ethnic and economic unrest this human flood is primarily intended to foster. That will give them yet another excuse to gather more power, “because we just can’t have this unrest from the White Supremacists.” Mommy Government must take more control of the streets. Tah-Dah! The case for smart cities (high tech prisons).The solution? Don’t participate. States and municipalities need to declare themselves the opposite of sanctuaries for illegals. No hiring of illegals. No selling homes to illegals. No renting to illegals. No Driver’s Licenses for Illegals. No school for illegals. If you want those things, go to New York or LA or Chicago, not Normalville.

The reason I brought this post forward from the 11 POINTS series.I’ve been teasing this episode for a few weeks now as I moved through the 11 Points. Energy, and how we handle it in the next year or two, has the most far-reaching impact on whether we thrive through the global demographic decline or we destroy ourselves. Without a diverse energy industry there will be no transportation, no food, no economy, no reinventing an industrial America. As with all of the 11 Points, if we fail this the rest won’t matter. But as a linchpin, energy stands out as the most critical……or so it seems as I write this. But really, if you go through the list so far, you can easily see that without any one of the issues solved, or heavily squelched, you don’t have any of the other issues mastered, at least not to the extent that we still have a viable nation. But there are one or two of which it can be said that if you don’t have these, you can’t get any of the rest, at all.In an advanced, industrial society, energy shouldn’t be an issue. We KNOW what to do to produce the energy we need. But we have endangered ourselves through our collective retardation on the subject. How did that happen?Let’s start with a different example of damaged thinking.In a previous segment I spoke of our “maturity” problem and how “woke” took hold in this country. In an interview, Jordan Peterson mentioned the thousand mini-retreats. This is the phenomenon which has allowed the welfare state, immigration insanity, the trans fad, climate alarmism and green energy scams to take root in our society. And that’s not a complete list.It goes like this. A person or persons pitch an idea to a loud, immature audience, for example the idea that you can be another gender. You can’t. Everyone knows you can’t. Even the people who jump on board immediately with such a silly notion know you can’t.The collective idiocy grows as advocates of the concept simply change the meaning of language to create a phony logic that promotes the stupid idea. Often these new terms are so over the top normal people stand gobsmacked that anyone would accept the terms. And the truth is, no one does. They just pretend to. But advocates of the stupidity insist on using the terms, like “gender affirming care” and cry and scream until school boards and governments (often filled with the same stupid people we are discussing now) find in the stupidity, a chance to exercise new controls over people, primarily by forcing them to adapt the new and remarkably stupid terminology.Thinks about it, if you can use the color of authority to cause adults to use terms like “gender affirming care” when talking about denying, and pretending to change, a person’s ACTUAL gender, you can do absolutely anything. And the first time any of the 99.99% of us that flatly reject the concept of changing genders uses the term, that’s a mini-retreat. The stupidity advances further into our lives. The social mania is mistaken for popularity, so more of the weaker among us jump on board to be popular. And the pattern repeats.Even before “gender affirming care” was concocted, there were already hundreds of bullshit terms being hatched, mostly by social media clowns and being thrown into our lexicon. And it all started when the first quack offered the first adult male sex change surgery to fulfill his personal kink to see himself as a women. Now the kink is being foisted on our kids and they are being mutilated for the entertainment of twisted parents and educators or the for validation for those who had ruined their own lives previously.The retreats have been so broad and repeated we now have FUCKING LAWS in states and cities that say if you don’t let your boy be a girl, you’re an abusive parent and can lose custody of your own child!If you had described this scenario to ANYONE in 2013 and said it would be here by 2023, you’d have been laughed out of the least intelligent company. But here we are. So then, what other imbecilic terms like “minor attracted persons” to romanticize the image of pedophiles? And school books showing adolescent boys blowing adult men? Would I be crazy to say that by 2033 we will have sex clubs for pedos and kids tarted as controlled, safe environments where different generations can explore their mutual attraction? We have a society that increasingly says you can lose your daughter to the state if you don’t let a quack cut her tits off. How much of a leap would it be say 40 year old men should be free to have sex with your kids?Not only must the mini-retreats in the face of this STOP, we need to go on the offensive to regain lost ground. Or, mark my words, 2033 WILL HAPPEN. As we continue to retreat, the only possible inaccuracy of my prediction is whether it will actually take until 2033.The same assessment applied to energy.And so it is in the area of our energy production. Stupid, childish worthless ideas stand in the way of what this country must establish - quickly!We know what works; coal, oil, natural gas (NG) and Nuke. They work - period. They are responsible for advancing our civilization, technology, medicine and cleanliness to create the life we know today. Without those things, you have none of that. We’re talking Mad Max shit here. By eliminating those things in the future (what fuzz nuts call zero emissions) you have Mad Max plus a few minutes of power per day.That’s because the energy “alternatives” we are wasting trillions dollars of our wealth on today - don’t work. But with every passing week, the people who know they don’t work make one mini-retreat after another. Why?Dr. Ruth Curry is a climatologist with 40 years experience studying REAL numbers. She makes a good point as to why the climate scam, and ultimately the green energy scams, continue to gain momentum. People seeking fame and attention make up wild and undocumented claims and then “cook” the data, add absurd assumptions and get noticed. Opportunists see the con they can run based on that data. A whole market sector has been created from the hockey stick graph, the author of which admitted he spiked the date because he wanted people to pay attention to his more general claims of pending disaster. None of which have happened. Supporting the sector are thousands of “scientists” who are, as Dr. Curry says, professionally vested in keeping the con alive. And the sector owns politicians and Instragram clowns who will channel Greta Thunberg. Question them, even as a matter of degree and they shout you down. If you can’t be shouted down they’ll go after your career. So the mini-retreats continue. This despite the fact that MOST of the people shouting down the reasonable people KNOW THEMSELVES that climate alarmism is pure nonsense.If the worst predictions of the climate nuts came to pass over the next 100 years, it would be a general nuisance for humanity. It wouldn’t be an existential threat. And there is not a swingin’ dick on the planet who can say with true certainty if ANY of the predictions will come true. So far, their batting average is about .001.And in homage to this nonsense, we have tinker toys like wind farms and solar farms. The bullshit flowing through the media to support the tinker toys is laughable. I’ve seen propaganda stating that the US is now powered 12% by wind and solar. I have seen one claim of 20%. This despite the fact that we have only a few minutes of capacity across the entire country from those sources.So how do they arrive at the 12% figure? Well, they record the power being released to the grid when power from the batteries is being demanded. We’ll say a wind farm in Texas produces X megawatts when the batteries are discharging. The local grid is demanding just under 10 times that amount. You can then conclude that the windfarm, for that controlled period of time provided 12% of the energy needed. But it won’t be able to do that again until the batteries are recharged and ready to go again.There can be a running charge/discharge process put in place, but then the percentage comes nowhere near 12% of anything. And it never will. Not with wind. Not with solar.There is not enough lithium ON THE PLANET to bring entirely to the United States and make enough batteries to run the power grid for 4 hours a day, even if your covered the nation in windmills. Wind is not a reliable commodity and the sun doesn’t shine 24/7. Put those three true statements together and what we are told is reliable, alternative energy becomes a sick joke.But that isn’t stopping the political whores, and the cronies they feed with your tax dollars, from charging headlong into these green scam projects. NONE of these things will work reliably. They will be many times more expensive to operate than we have been told and they will ultimately lose their value. Then they’ll be left to rot into the landscape, polluting the ground. They will be monuments to our stupidity.But let someone with a larger market reach than me say these things and they will be shouted down, slandered, doxed, canceled. And the people doing the doxing and cancelling, by and large, will know what I am saying right now is true. But these words hurt their bottom line or their personal “coolness” experience.There is huge money, hundreds of billions, now trillions of dollars washing through the economy waiting to be scooped up by the green scam industry to built the monuments. Coal plants are being shut down and immediately dismantled, AT YOUR EXPENSE - NOT THE PLANT OWNER’S, and replaced with the tinker toys. The tinker toys are either built locally, where they likely won’t work at all, or the tinker toy energy is being brought by transmission lines over huge distances. The power lost, just to the transmission, makes the concept a complete waste of time and YOUR money.In other words, the coal plants are NOT being replaced at all. If we were building nuke plants, large and small, then tearing down the reliable but dirty coal facilities, that would be a good thing. But we are not, so we are killing our energy grid. The politicians are doing this to you intentionally.Because there is so much money to be made, so many childish and emotional voters to please, the government, big banks and the companies they support will SAY ANYTHING to keep the scam alive. And when the price of wind and solar turns out to be 3,4 or 5 times what we’ve been told it would be, these crooks will be there to scoop up all the money.Here’s the worst insult of all. If I am right and we don’t all fight back, energy costs for YOU will become untenable. Then the government will step in. But they won’t be stepping in to finally correct the problems they caused. No, they will double down and announce they will save you by subsidizing the failed wind and solar schemes…WITH YOUR TAX DOLLARS. Then of course, as with all things subsidized, it will continue to be more expensive every year, regardless of the real costs. It will work exactly like the college scam. If you are in your 60’s and you don’t fight back, you will likely live to see all of this play out.If this were still the world of 2019, and we were going to stay that prosperous and continue growing economically, then the energy scams would just be graft on a huge scale. Eventually it would piss us off and we’d finally make the mature shift to nuclear energy. But we don’t live in the world of 2019. 2019 was the year of the economic peak of the Boomer generation’s consumption and when global markets were still fully functional. It’s all downhill from here. At a time when we can’t afford to make bad decisions about where to put our efforts, scam artists and your government are putting you on a rocket sled to hell. The time and national treasure wasted on the tinker toys will make building a proper energy infrastructure later much more difficult than it needs to be; if not impossible. The clock is ticking.And while the propagandists are using ESG to control you and corporate America and forcing us to swallow this universally stupid green energy crap, they are actively destroying the “pristine nature” they’ve been crying about over the last century. Now they say - Hey, fuck the trees and grasslands and coastal waters and fisheries. There’s money to be made. And the virtue signalling, former tree huggers, who aren’t in on the action, are going to get screwed right along with the rest of us.Consider this from a previous post. Take a good look at the picture above. It’s from Nature.com* EDITORIAL* 26 November 2018, How some wind turbines hog the breeze The nature.com article brings some interesting points we’ll get into a bit later.Look at the view in the background, now spoiled by a wind farm. Funny how the very people who have always talked about keeping our wilderness pristine and not defacing nature, now want to blanket the fruited plains with these wretched tinker toys. There are areas of the country where humans are not allowed to walk for fear of spoiling nature. But we can do this?!What’s worse, in 15 years, when the lack of value these things hold is fully understood, these monstrosities will be broken rotting hulks blighting our landscape from sea to shining sea. The battle then will be who is responsible to get rid of them all.  How many billions will that cost?! To be sure the companies that scammed our tax dollars to build them will have declared bankruptcy and washed their hands of it all. Meh, who cares. We just spent a combined $4.5 trillion for “infrastructure” and “inflation fighting” which do nothing for what either title suggests. In fact, as we saw last week, Al Gore made a truth poopie and stated out loud the “Inflation” bill was, in reality, a green scam bill.And, oh, by the way…in 2009, Barry Hussein spent $80 billion to convert us to a green economy. What happened to all that money?  Who got it?  We know a bunch of his donors opened a phony energy company, took billions then split with all the money (Solyndra).  Certainly we have never seen $80 BILLION worth of value. If we did there would be wind turbines and solar panels on every median of every highway in the country. $80 BILLION! By this time we should be up to our eyeballs in old batteries and solar panels we can’t get rid of (That’s in our future now too).Wind is not infinite!I’ve been telling people this for years. Wind is a form of energy. While you cannot destroy that energy, you can convert it. That’s what wind turbines do. They convert wind (kinetic) energy into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy.But no one is asking, “What happens to the wind?” And that is where the problems with wind farms immediately cascade.The Nature.com article demonstrates that wind farms, on land and at sea, compete with each other to capture wind. If you put up a multi-billion dollar wind farm intended to grab the prevailing winds, and I put one as many as 10 miles upwind of yours, your turbines will not run at capacity. They will not generate the electricity they were designed to put out.If you have a wind farm with more than one row of pinwheels facing the wind, the second row is less efficient, as is the third row and so on.When someone else puts up a farm upwind from me, now my turbines are crippled. And so it is going today. This alone should point out the folly of wind power on an industrial level. We’ve been told that wind is a natural and unlimited source of power. But it’s not. It’s very limited. And it is notoriously unreliable even without the competing tinker toys tugging at it.More important than wind scammers robbing each other of the primary resource, there are natural considerations at work here. Surface winds have a very important job to do. Soil, seed, bugs, birds and the Green Holy of Holies, temperatures rely heavily on the natural movement of surface winds.Nature.com reports that areas downwind of a large windfarm can see productive wind substantially reduced as far away as 50 kilometers (31 miles). The scammers and their cheerleaders want to build wind farms all over the US! This must not happen. It’s ugly. It’s unreliable. It’s self-defeating.End of excerpt.Also in a previous post I spoke at length about the hypocrisy mixed with mind-blowing lying and stupidity at work on the East Coast. They are already starting to build insanely large wind monsters right off the beaches, from New York to North Carolina. The biggest lie being told is that they will be so far out to sea that you’ll hardly be able to see them.Copper is expensive and attenuated energy transmits through conduit inefficiently. These HUGE structures will be placed as close to the shore line as possible to offset those two facts. They will blight the immediate coastline as the picture above blights our landscapes.In my article about the coastal blight, I went into detail about how our fisheries will be destroyed. We’re already killing whales and dolphins. That will continue for the foreseeable future. These monstrosities will negatively impact sea mammals for as long as they exist. Click here to see the episode on food and the damage being done to the shoreline and fisheries. Solutions What this country needs is NG and nuclear power. The nukes can be large conventional reactors, or as often as possible, small Thorium LFTR reactors. Everywhere stupid people tell us we need a huge wind farm, drop a LFTR instead. It will take up less then 100th of the space and will generate more energy, more reliably, 24/7, whether the winds blow or not. The most efficient and reliable form of energy on the planet is nuclear. We should have kicked our plant construction into high gear ten years ago. Despite the scary scenarios the naysayers like to point to, nuclear energy has been by far the SAFEST compared to it’s conventional counterparts for the entirety of it’s existence. Consider the age of existing plants. Consider the technology in play. If we could build plants that work that well in the 1960’s and 70’s that continue to function with the technology available them, consider the possibilities NOW. Our knowledge and our electronics have seen tens of generations of advancement. Safety and redundancy in today’s plants would be child’s play compared to the difficulty and complexity it presented the early nuclear industry. We should be able to build dozens of plants over the next decade, by which time they will only be 20 years late to the game. If we go all in for stupid tinker toys, those plants may never get built. And we need them. ALL reasonable people can see the logic of it.But for the big plants, you need water and plenty of it. In some places, that might not be a problem. In the Southwest new nuke power plants would be impossible. There, once impressive water supply has been squandered by piss poor planning and whorish politics. Here is another place where LFTR technology shines. In areas where water is scarce, use LFTR’s to desalinate. Where the power grid is being overwhelmed, LFTRs are a relatively cheap answer.The naysayers of LFTR technology argue that the problems faced in the 50’s and 60’s are a problem today. Well, the Chinese seem to have solved those problems. Being is it is now 2023 and our technology and metallurgy has advanced just a tad, solving those problems turns out to be a non-issue.As with my earlier comparison to child grooming and mutilation, we are past the time to stop the mini-retreats and go on the offensive. Take back our nation. We must go on the offensive! Now! We must call out, with a unified voice, the stupidity unfolding before our eyes. If half the country stops worrying about being “cool”, then we can’t be canceled. And it is far more than HALF the country that knows what I am saying here is true. It just takes the tiniest bit of guts and grit to start fighting back.Get hot on social media. Hell, start by sharing this podcast across your accounts. Slam the FB, Twitter and LinkedIn of every politician from your mayor to your House and Senate reps, to the White House. SLAM them with demands they stop the nonsense. Link articles demonstrating the bullshit behind the green scams. Shame them into real action if you have to. And you will have to.Get with your friends and join the Energy Revolt, chalk your car windows or slap on a couple of magnets and drive 40mph together down a major interstate or highway in your area. Take all but one lane. Do it together. Maybe one day 30,000 of us can take a nice leisurely drive through one of your major cities right around 4:00 PM; catch all the sights.At social gatherings, stop retreating. When someone says windmills and solar cells are great, call them on it. But oh, you don’t want to have conflict at social gatherings, right? That’s just what these people are counting on. The pattern has been there since hippies roamed the planet. Meathead says something ridiculous; perhaps in this case that wind turbines provide 12% of our energy. Then if you speak up, Meathead goes bat shit and the room thinks YOU are the jerk for upsetting the Meathead. Let the idiots in the room think it. But there will be those who will get it. Give yourself permission to stand your ground.We must end the tinker toy nonsense before we’re in too deep. The economy, our food supply, our cities, our survival as a healthy nation depend on truly reliable and abundant energy, not hyper-expensive, unreliable, tinker toy fantasies.
