Weaponized Through Electronic Tracking

Among the many taglines and slogans, the Marxists are busy inventing, none stands out so bold as “healthcare reinvented.” There is a lot of truth in this tagline as the technocrats are busy reinventing healthcare to better control the population with algorithms.

Never mind that healthcare does not need reinventing, we were doing fine before this global revolution that is determined to turn our lives upside down in every way possible and imaginable – education, health, housing, living, food, travel, commerce, medicine, leisure, and anything that makes life worth living.

The leftist contingent knows best what is good for us, including health. And all the NGOs associated with the United Nations and the World Economic Forum are busy making things happen while we idly watch it day by day become our “new reality” and “new normal” decided by fake scientists, unelected career bureaucrats, and corrupt politicians.

We pay heavy taxes and prices for the global warming turned Climate Change Industry they invented as well and hope and pray that the total interdiction of fossil fuels will not destroy us, and that a Climate Change Lockdown will not be declared by executive order.

The euphemisms and catchy phrases are astonishing. Medical facilities, doctors, and hospitals have turned into the “modern pulse of medicine, the new vision, the revolution, the good vibes, the superheroes of health, the path to healing, the key, the trend, the calmness, the compassionate ones, the committed ones, the world health slayers, the magical ingredients, the medical wizards, the health care cozy sweaters, the spa day for health, the GPS for health,” etc. https://www.soocial.com/healthcare-slogans/

The drive behind these silly taglines is the ‘health equity movement,’ a Marxist initiative which claims via the powerful unelected bureaucrats and NGO nobodys, that everything in life influences your health.

The globalists, who invented the Marxist initiative, through their myriad of public-private partnerships at the local, state, and regional levels, are taking over the economy under the excuse of keeping you healthy and you must pay more for everything if you wish to stay healthy and have access to medical care.

Tracking everything in peoples’ lives electronically, enabled by technocrats and politicians, includes various statistics under the ‘social determinants of health agenda,’ such as dividing people by race, education, wokeism, and socio-economic status.

Globalists will derive a lot of statistics from the electronic tracking in each doctor’s office and have big plans to use this data to change the world, including education, agriculture, leisure, transportation, health care, travel, spending, and banking.

The electronic tracking was written into Obama’s 2010 Affordable Care Act which bribed doctors $50,000 if they placed all their records online and followed the government’s guidelines to create a history for each patient from cradle to grave. It is not coincidental that, during visits, doctors and nurse practitioners ask their patients to fill in highly detailed surveys or ask them questions that are none of their business when treating sick people.

Our health records have been weaponized. Everything we do from now on will be directed through electronic health records and digital I.D.s. – voting, shopping, banking, access to care, gasoline consumption, electricity consumption, natural gas, mileage, permission to travel, entertainment, food consumption, visas, flying tickets.

You will be digitized, controlled, identified, no matter where you go, who you are, what you do, how you do it, with whom, and it will all be all found under a comprehensive health record. And the data will not be used to help you, it will be used against you.

You will be exploited by government via your electronic healthcare record in so many ways:

-          Are you exercising?

-          Are you obese?

-          What are you eating?

-          How many calories per day do you eat?

-          Are you riding a bike to work or school?

-          Where do you travel?

-          Have you used too many unapproved miles? Then the kill-switch in your car will be activated by the controllers.

-          Are you having good and healthy thoughts?

-          What are you reading and are they technocrat-approved materials?

-          Are you a church-going Christian?

-          What are you saying on social media?

-          Your social score is not good enough therefore you cannot buy a concert, metro, bus, train, or plane ticket; you must remain within your 15-minute city/neighborhood.

If you are not in line with the government programs, then anything could be easily denied, including health care and food, via algorithms embedded into your digitized health record.

The algorithms will become the “denial nurse,” the case “health manager,” and the social credit score controller.

 

 

Rationing Electricity, A/C, and Heat

A lot of humans have died from heat exposure, in freezing temperatures, in wilderness, in war trenches, frozen on Mt. Everest, marching in war convoys, marching to concentration camps, inside concentration camp barracks, in gulags in subzero temperatures, submerged in icy water, in crashes on mountain tops or jungles, hiking, mountain climbing, and many other horrible conditions.

Angel, a Jew sent to Auschwitz in Nazi Germany, witnessed an entire ward freeze to death overnight, without beds, heat, and food. She alone survived with an old man because she spent all night trying to warm him up, rubbing his hands, legs, face, and neck. When the sun came up, there was an eerie silence around them, they were surrounded by frozen corpses. Nobody should suffer such inhuman conditions.

Nobody should suffer extreme heat or freeze to death in their homes because they cannot afford heat or air conditioning from whatever source or because they cannot pay their utility bills.

Nobody should be forced by the global elites’ U.N. Agenda 2030 to achieve “net zero” emissions by setting their furnaces to a high of 60 degrees Fahrenheit in winter and their air conditioners to 80+ F degrees in summer.

There was nothing positive about the installation of Smart Meters around the globe starting ten years ago. They are more expensive than traditional meters, don’t last long, the cost per kWh per customer has increased dramatically, it spies on each household without a search warrant, it cuts off power to homes during high demand in the coldest or hottest days of the year, sell the data it collects to third parties, bombards homes with radiation every 12 seconds, and it causes health issues in sensitive customers when the smart meter is attached directly to the home.

The Telegraph has reported on February 8, 2022, that “Smart meters are to automatically send energy suppliers half-hourly updates on their customers’ power use in a revolutionary move that will allow ‘surge pricing’ in millions of households’ bills.”

The energy regulator Ofgem will be granted legal powers in May to charge customers at peak times more for electricity usage and customers must “opt in.”

Smart Meters were first introduced as “opt in” but became mandatory quickly and people had to fight in courts to be able to ‘opt out.’ Claimed price savings and convenience from the installation of Smart Meters never materialized. It only benefitted the utilities because it did not have to store excess capacity for times when the demand was higher. The “surge pricing” is also described as saving customers money whereby said customers would use electricity at times when the charges are lower. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/smart-meter-overhaul-to-open-gates-for-e2-80-98surge-pricing-e2-80-99/ar-AATDUJ6?ocid=uxbndlbing

Customers who live in old homes, use outdated appliances, need electricity around the clock for life-saving devices or more heat will be penalized, and will pay much higher prices on fixed incomes.

Might such individuals who live on fixed incomes and who might have their power cut off for lack of payment freeze in their own homes or die of heat strokes? It has happened certainly in the U.S. and elsewhere during extremely cold winters and very hot summers.

Imagine millions of electric cars, all trying to charge at the same time during the night, and the large economy also pulling electricity from the grid during those times. What exactly would happen to the grid? It will certainly crash, resulting in unnecessary deaths from freezing, heat strokes, or the inability to use life-saving devices.

Imagine so much deforestation to meet the cardboard boxes and paper bags demand that people would be unable to find sufficient wood to heat their homes.

Imagine the prices of home heating fuel escalating due to the anti-fossil fuel policies of western administrations around the world who harmonize their globalist policies to dispense with fossil fuels by 2050.

Imagine being unable to obtain the necessary electricity from solar panels and wind turbines to supply large economies and the population. How many will freeze to death or die of heat strokes due to such idiotic and unworkable socialist regime policies?

It seems that we are not willing to learn from history, not just our own, but the history of other socialist regimes run by the Communist Party into the ground.

Even before the harsh winter of 1984-85, the socialist regime in my former country was not prepared to deliver adequate levels of energy supplies to the people. Winters had power shortages, heat, sudden and arbitrary electricity, water, and hot water cutoffs, and rationing of gasoline at the pumps.

Private cars were banned on the roads, heat to apartments, buildings, and factories was cut in half, in hopes to save energy at the expense of the people. It did not just create misery all around, but it caused so much unnecessary illness and death by freezing. Babies died in incubators in hospitals when electric plugs were pulled to save energy.

Former Ambassador David B. Funderburk wrote in his book, Pinstripes and Reds, that in the winter of 1984-85 “reports indicated that one of every three babies born in hospitals in Romania during the winter of 1984-85 either died or was born severely ill and deformed.” (p. 80)

The extreme cold and snow were gone by April 1985, but private cars were still banned from the roads and highways in order to save on fossil fuels. The lack of energy, heat, and food killed a lot of very young and old people that infamous winter.

Are we willing to suffer such death by freezing and famine in our former land of plenty because the country is run by a socialist globalist cabal intent on destroying the U.S. and bringing it into the dark ages? How much anemic light and darkness, and cold in winter are you willing to tolerate in our stores and homes? And for that matter, how many people are willing to sacrifice who will die in summertime from excessive heat without the benefit of air conditioning, refrigeration, and the electricity that runs them?

 

 

Russia’s Veto Saved the Fossil Fuels for Now

In the 1980s, the environmentalists believed that using paper grocery bags harms the environment by excessive deforestation, so they moved in the direction of replacing the paper grocery bags with plastic ones. It made sense, plastic bags made from petroleum by-products were certainly cheaper and more plentiful.

Fast forward to 2021, environmentalist governments in counties like Fairfax, Virginia, moved to replace the plastic bags with paper bags by charging a tax of 5 cents per plastic bag previously given free (included in the price because nothing is free). Furthermore, a fine of $500 will be levied on anyone who dares to leave grass and other yard clippings on curbside in plastic bags other than heavy paper bags.

Fossil fuels have become environmentally and politically such a Democrat hot potato that they have been labeled public enemy number one, including plastics.

What is Fairfax County and other like-minded counties around the nation doing with the 5 cents tax per bag, or 8 cents in other places? Will they fund the bloated Democrat government or their guaranteed basic income schemes? And how is this tax going to solve the manufactured global warming which gave rise to a very lucrative climate change industry and a huge money-maker?

When Amazon and other online retailers run out of places to buy cheap shipping boxes, I wonder which forests are they going to cut down, and can excessive demand for paper and carboard boxes keep up with supply and with tree growth?

The U.N. Security Council moved to vote on December 13, 2021, on a resolution on climate change co-authored by Ireland and Niger, under the guise that adverse climate change can “lead to … social tensions …, exacerbating, prolonging, or contributing to the risk of future conflicts and instability and posing a key risk to global peace, security, and stability.” The concern is that climate change affects more negatively “women, children, ethnic minorities, and the most vulnerable.” Climate Change and Security: Vote on a Resolution*: What's In Blue : Security Council Report

According to the New York Times, “the resolution, which enjoyed wide-ranging support, would have significantly expanded the criteria used by the most powerful U.N. agency to justify intervening in armed conflicts around the world.” Russia Blocks U.N. Move to Treat Climate as Security Threat - The New York Times (nytimes.com)

It is claimed that the U.N. resolution was supported by 100 countries. Twelve of the fifteen Security Council countries signed on, but Russia’s veto blocked its passage. China abstained, and India, with its invited temporary membership status, also declared against the resolution. It is obvious that all three countries have similar interests, the survival of fossil fuels.

The U.S. government has been busy replacing fossil fuels with wind and solar power, doing severe damage to its economy and weakening its position in the world as a superpower. Biden closed the Keystone pipeline on day one and interrupted supply. “Nearly 40% of America’s electricity is produced from natural gas. When gas goes up, so does your electric bill.” Varney on the 'price' of Biden eliminating fossil fuels | Fox Business

The regime stopped giving new drilling permits on federal land and interrupted off-shore drilling. U.S. became again dependent on oil imports.  During President Trump’s administration, America became an oil exporter.

If the U.N. Security Council vote would have been unanimous in favor of the resolution, then members who would fail to take “drastic” measures recommended by “experts” to green their economies immediately, then they would have been considered aggressors against the global governance.

What might have been the expectations to green a country’s economy urgently? To close coal mines, oil derricks, refineries, oil and gas pipelines, and to give up fossil fuels immediately, with huge economic costs and disastrous economic results for that country.

If a country would have refused to comply, then the most intimidating measures against it would have been justifiable, imposing a global dictatorship of the U.N. to save the planet from climate change Armageddon.

So, Russia, China, and India, with one fifth of the world’s land surface and almost half of its population, saved fossil fuels for now. They viewed the manufactured global warming as a political fantasy and the preservation of their economies and of their economic development as most important for their peoples.

The West wants electric cars (they did not do so well recently in one foot of snow stuck for 24 hours on I-95 in Virginia), electric bikes, electric buses, ships, home and business heat and light from solar panels and wind turbines (when the wind blows and the sun shines, otherwise it is cold and dark). China wants coal burning power plants and builds them at high rates. Russia depends on natural gas and pipelines. And India is adding more coal mines.

Biden’s Green New Deal is neither new, nor green, nor a deal, it is a political plan aimed at killing fossil fuels and destroying the American economy that depends on the fossil fuels’ reliability and consistency.

So, the global warming/climate change scheme to enact global governance has been defeated so far. But the grand plan of one world government might still be realized. To achieve it now, the globalists are bringing out the pandemic green passports of Covid vaccination and the social scoring system which is already underway in China and in America.

Restricting movement of the population can be achieved in more ways than just taking away their fossil fuels; the government can cause severe inflation, double gasoline and natural gas prices, make their currency worth less, obstruct the supply chain of necessary goods and food, restrict access to clinics and hospitals, and restrict domestic and international travel. Under draconian Covid-19 lockdown rules, two years after the declared pandemic, Australians cannot travel more than 29 km from home. How Sydney residents can travel more than 5km from home for exercise (msn.com)

Mayor Muriel Bowser of D.C. has already enacted draconian rules that a person must show I.D. and a vaccine card to enter any business in D.C. It is racist to be asked to show I.D. to vote but it is necessary to enter a business.

If you have a green passport, you are not just vaccinated and boostered, but it is proof that you are now a compliant global citizen, and you can be given (by the global government) the privilege to enter buildings, to fly, to travel, to board a ship, to ride a bus, a train, you can use a bank, you can buy or rent a home, you can move from on town to another, and you can attend school. The social scoring system works wonders with population compliance and obedience under the Chinese communist dictatorship.

For now, Russia, China, and India have saved fossil fuels. I am not sure who or what is going to save a weakened America from its Marxist regime in control in Washington. They are busy printing money for trillion-dollar pet social programs and to finance national debt v. GDP which has reached astronomic proportions (127.61% federal and 141.24% total) at the time of this writing. The military is busy hunting down fictional, Democrat-invented systemic racism.

Kill Switch in All Cars in Five Years

Since 1992, billionaire globalists with money to burn, have been actively seeking to remove us from fossil fuel cars to save the planet from global warming/climate change/climate crisis Armageddon which U.N.’s Agenda 21/2030 has been actively seeking to do.

Since we are in love in America with the open roads and the freedom to travel by car, another no-no globalists seek to rectify while they fly around the world in their personal jets, sail in their huge yachts, and drive the most gasoline-guzzling vehicles their fat bank accounts can buy, we have been reluctant to buy their smart cars.

Elon Musk managed to sell Millennials and some baby boomers on the idea of the EV Tesla.  Millennials and rich liberals have been plunking the $80,000 plus to buy a sporty-looking Tesla EV car or SUV, especially since the energy is “free, non-polluting,” and it comes from an endless supply of fairy dust.

Biden’s infrastructure bill is going to rectify decades of mistakes environmentalists have made in pushing their green energy agenda. According to former Georgia Representative Bob Barr, the regime’s infrastructure package comes with a well-hidden present, a kill switch in cars. https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/lincolnbrown/2021/11/30/build-back-bummer-bidens-spending-spree-includes-a-kill-switch-for-your-car-n1537903

This kill switch will “passively monitor” impaired drivers, but it can be accessed by third parties such as law enforcement, a government agency, a company that decides that you must be watched, hackers who are up to no good, and even a foreign power.

The thought that we are monitored 24/7 for our own good just conjures up kumbaya thoughts of “safety” and “the government is here to take care of you if you behave.” If this kill switch is “passive,” it stays on the whole time and cannot be turned off. What the parameters are for deciding that a driver is off or impaired is not known. The kill switch is marketed to Congress as a wonderful tool to prevent drunk driving and within five years it must be built in every car manufactured. BARR: Biden’s ‘Infrastructure’ Bill Contains Backdoor ‘Kill Switch’ For Cars | The Daily Caller

The techies and the greens have been salivating to stop us from using fossil fuel cars for a long time, and to drive cars powered by lithium batteries (toxic and hard to recycle) and hydrogen fuel. “More than 30 public retail hydrogen fueling stations are online in California, with plans to install 100.” They are attached to existing gas stations to give people the false sense of security that they are just like fossil fuel cars but better. You can sleep soundly at night that your vehicle is only emitting water vapors.

The “net-zero” emissions pop up non-stop in the green tech narrative in the MSM and the climate “crisis” fear-mongering crowd. In their long-standing agenda, elitist billionaires want you to ride a train, walk, bike to work, school, and shopping, to give up your cars altogether, stop traveling anywhere, stop using meat, dairy, and eat their fake food.

The “cleantech movement” is primarily pushed by billionaires, green NGOs, and their useful idiots who volunteer to spread the message to the masses that the planet is dying, and we must fundamentally adjust society, kill heavy industry, steel, cement, kill harmful agriculture, rice production, the meat, and dairy industries, and replace them with synthetic alternatives.

By 2050, the green billionaires plan to eliminate fossil fuel use in all industries. Can you imagine the destruction to the U.S. economy and to your pocketbooks, not to mention the invasion of your privacy, freedom, and rights by a government emboldened to apply and use such a small item in your car’s computer as a “kill switch?”

Can you also imagine how little electricity you will have from solar and wind power when the energy of one natural gas power plant located on 4 acres of land must be replaced by 2,500 acres of large wind turbines? Will you have enough land left for agriculture, for food? According to Dr. Jay Lehr, “… the landmass of the contiguous 48 states is not large enough to fit all the wind turbines required.” And where will you place the solar panels? The simple arithmetic of wind power - CFACT

Without heavy subsidies from the federal government, none of these are competitive viable options for a population as large as the U.S. Prepare yourself to walk a lot and to have a limited mobility, closer to home, be cold in winter, be hot a lot in summer, while you are being watched all the time by your government.

 

 

 

Musings on Electric Cars and Clean Energy

So, with most electric cars, you have to stop every 200 miles or less to recharge for 1.5 hours. If you are going 400 miles, you need 6 extra hours to get there and back just to recharge. The electricity for your car is generally produced by fossil fuels.

Wind turbines and solar panels require backup generators. Just because wind turbines are moving, it does not mean that they are producing electricity. In some places in Europe, they are not even attached to a storage facility, they are just spinning. EU gave them money to install them and they did it hastily for show or did not have the infrastructure nor the money to store the electricity generated.

The electricity produced by both wind turbines and by solar panels is more expensive and not sufficient and dependable to satisfy the demands of our huge economy.

Wind turbines and solar panels require large fields to display, fields either taken from agriculture or in a deserted area with lots of sun and wind.

Turbines chop up wildlife in flight and cause a constant thump, thump sound which affects the health of animals and humans. Whales are confused by the low frequency waves and beach themselves accidentally. Animals living around wind turbines attack each other and give birth to deformed babies. Humans suffer insomnia, tachycardia, headaches and other hormonal disturbances.

Solar panels create a heat flux that fries birds in flight. The shiny mirrors further kill birds who fly into them by confusing them with water pools.

But, let's not allow facts get in the way of the progressive agenda, they've already made up their minds. The young environmentalists on Capitol Hill drive alone to work on the Beltway in their expensive Mercedes and BMWs while they lecture us to ride bikes, the metro, the bus, and light rail.

"We've Become Rich Plundering the Planet"

I do not watch TV much anymore. There is too much propaganda and re-engineered information to advance the progressive agenda. Historical facts have fallen victim to political correctness and the war on truth is waged on all fronts by progressive liberals from academia, the main stream media, and Hollywood.

Channel surfing one day, I found a “documentary” produced in 2011 that captured my attention. The breathtaking photography, the music, the powerful narrative, and the clever editing would have made a convert out of me, had I been a low-information American who believed everything MSM said, factoids repeated at nauseam and coated with a veneer of veracity. When Hollywood hypocritical elites are the messengers and the pop culture icons speak, millions follow what they say with blind devotion and adoration devoid of rational thought.

The theme was “addiction to money” but the subtle topic was global environmentalism through U. N. Agenda 21. Economist and author David McWilliams presented the scenario of reengineering a sustainable economy and why it was necessary.

The film starts in Copan, Honduras, panning over the remains of the Mayan civilization, a city of 27,000 people, a thriving civilization for many years. “It overstretched,” said the narrator, implying that the west will suffer the same fate unless globalists intervene and re-engineer it on the path to sustainability. The Australian film criticizes United States in particular, the thorn in the side of the globalists.

The Mayans fatal flaw that doomed them was “cutting down the forest.” It would have been honest to say that the Mayans did not know forest management, ran out of an important resource at the time, “sowing the seeds of their own destruction.”

Professor Paul Ehrlich, ecologist and climatologist from Stanford, is quoted throughout the film, exposing what a former VP termed, the “inconvenient truth.” Here are some examples:

-          “Eastern Islanders did the same thing, cut down all the trees and wound up eating each other”

-          “For the first time with globalization, we are facing collapse of everything”

-          “We are done with fossil fuels, we are done with automobiles, most Americans may have bought their last car”

-          “If we continue on the long range energy course that we are on, sooner or later we will melt the polar ice caps and we will be swimming around, at least in the coastal areas” (Sydney, 1971)

-          “What do we do about the current economic problem so that it does not lead to a social collapse?”

-          “How do we move to a sustainable civilization?”

If one explores other statements by Paul Ehrlich, it is evident what he considers social collapse, sustainable civilization, and who decides the definition. For example, “Giving society cheap, abundant energy would be the equivalent of giving an idiot child a machine gun.” Another example, “A cancer is an uncontrolled multiplication of cells; the population explosion is an uncontrolled multiplication of people. We must shift our efforts from the treatment of the symptoms to the cutting out of the cancer. The operation will demand many apparently brutal and heartless decisions.”

Could we suffer the Mayans fate, since “the system that sustained us is in ruins?” The camera pans cleverly over pumping oil wells, assembly line cars in Detroit, and Wall Street. He blames the principal “architect” Alan Greenspan, for creating “an economic philosophy that has completely failed.”  

Never mind that this failed system has created wealth beyond anybody’s dreams, millionaires, billionaires, and has improved the standard of living of billions around the globe. Yet the insatiable greed of six billion people who want to live better is going to destroy the planet. “The environment is under unsustainable assault.”

The financial crisis caused the wealthy endowments of many Ivy League schools to lose billions of dollars. “They were not wise, they were in fact, quite stupid,” said Robert Reich. Oxford lost more than 100 million pounds. Economists, bankers, regulators were wrong and “did not see this coming.” This is not true, most knew this was coming.

The technocrats of EU have moved to salvage their union by allowing the largest Cypriot bank to collapse and by confiscating 40 percent of everyone’s deposits exceeding 100,000 euros. What rights do socialist technocrats (bent on re-engineering the economies of 27 nations) have to the depositors’ money in order to salvage the poorly run socialist Cypriot economy is a very good question.

“The future is going to look very different from the past.”  True, but the question is, will the future be “fundamentally” altered by globalists’ re-engineering intervention, or will it be a future resulting from normal change.

The future will be violent and angry when jobs disappear. Robert Reich said, “The blame game can be very attractive when people are hurting.” Did we not lose millions of jobs in the U.S. in the last four years and none are being created in the foreseeable future except “green jobs?” I did not see any anger and hurt, just 99 weeks of unemployment benefits.

The price of energy has gone through the roof, especially oil, as China and India are buying more cars. Did the current administration not stop the Keystone XL pipeline that would have brought cheaper oil from the tar sands in Canada? Did they not put a moratorium on domestic drilling in the Gulf of Mexico while allowing Brazil and other foreign countries to drill? Did the EPA not reject the building of new refineries and nuclear plants in the U.S.?

We are going to fight in the future over food and water since it reached its limits. “The global economy cannot grow in this model.” We have to adopt the environmentalists’ model of sustainability to save ourselves. We are running out of everything because there are too many people on the planet, “60 million more each year,” McWilliams said.

In Malthusian fashion, the narrator warns that the most “terrifying’ of all future prospects is a “climate that is changing so rapidly that we have no time to adapt to it because we are pressing against the limits of the planet to sustain our civilization.” Climate and weather are two different things, not interchangeable, but low information viewers are easily persuaded.

Professor Robert Solow describes how “we did not run the society very well” in the 20^th century and thus we must rethink how we do things – “that is the advantage of a crisis that we do not want to waste.” Where did we hear that before, a crisis is a terrible thing to waste? Is it not the modus operandi of the current administration?

“A crisis gives us the reason to change everything, we cannot continue as before.” The common denominator of all our problems is energy, cheap energy that fuels our economy. We burn too much oil, a giant supertanker every twenty minutes. “We have to redesign our economy around people, not around automobiles,” said Ehrlich. Who gave him the mandate to redesign the economy and why does it need to change to suit his opinions?

Apparently, we have reached the point of no return, oil supplies are going to decline and, according to a BP oil executive and activist, we are going to run out of oil in 30-40 years at the current levels of oil use. China and India will have more cars than America and oil is going to be very expensive. How can a low-knowledge person argue with such a definitive and scary statement? Yet huge sources of oil have been discovered around the globe.

We are such “resource junkies,” that we are craving one last hit from an ever more scarce resource that has been polluting our environment and destroying Mother Earth.

Electric cars will “save us from an addiction to oil, for which we are mortgaging all of our assets.” But changing to electric cars is not enough, says the documentary.

We have to re-engineer agriculture as well, the next item on the environmentalist agenda because it is not sustainable. We use too much fuel, too much fertilizer, “we are effectively eating fossil fuels.”

We consume more grain than it is produced, reducing stockpiles of rice, wheat, and corn by 40 percent since 2002. The documentary fails to describe how droughts and the use of grain as biofuels have reduced the supply of food in poor countries. Riots took place as a result of doubling of rice and corn prices. Environmentalists are responsible for pushing the use of grains as biofuels.

“We have a world in which you have a relatively few incredibly rich people and huge numbers of poor people, getting more hungry and desperate and we must do something about that,” says Ehrlich. Rich people again are at fault that starvation resulted from an ill-designed biofuel energy policy by the very groups who claim that fossil fuels are not sustainable.

“We’ve spent billions bailing out banks and car companies, but peanuts securing food supplies,” laments McWilliams. Do we not give food aid to third world countries all the time?

As China loses more land to urban development, food prices will go “through the roof.” If China changes its tastes from rice to meat, the price of meat would double, the narrator predicts. Meat is also not sustainable because animals pollute the environment and use too much water.

China is building 3 gorge dam projects, rivers around the world are running dry, and by “2025 three billion people will suffer water shortages.” Which is it, are our shores going to flood and water will cover islands around the globe due to polar ice caps and glaciers melting, or are we going to have a severe manufactured water shortage?

The world’s finite resources will cause unstoppable migration, wars over land, food, and water. Parading a throng of low information citizens, the common cause identified for all the ills enumerated is GREED, the greed of the rich who stole everything from the rest of us.

We have to fundamentally change. Capitalism is bad, unregulated markets are bad, governments are financially and morally bankrupt and not trustworthy. FDR was the only president who had the courage to confront the banking oligarchy. American taxpayers saved the banks from the “huge losses they made.”

Actually, Carter’s Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 had a lot of to do with the worthless mortgages – it changed the dynamics of lending and borrowing. Realtors were eager to sell to people who did not qualify for loans, buyers were eager to buy what they could not afford but felt entitled to, and banks bundled good loans with bad loans to reduce losses and then sold them to unsuspecting investors.

There are 41,000 lobbyists in Washington who force the agenda of the U.S. government. Nothing happens in D.C. without lobbyists. “The threat to democracy by business and financial lobbyists is profound,” said Robert Reich, former Labor Secretary. I believe that out of control spending (generational theft), resulting in the increase of the national debt by $6 trillion in four years, is the biggest threat to our national security.

The documentary suggests that the resolution of problems, the ageing population, migration issues, global warming, the coming wars over oil, water, and food rests with the merging of the “Mean and the Green,” forcing Wall Street to support the environmentalist cause (global warming) and to finance the “green economy.”

There is a potential $10 trillion electric car industry, with China’s BYD as the leader and the largest car maker in the world by 2025. How do they propose to generate electricity for these cars since wind and solar power are not enough? A different type of nuclear power plant will be the solution if the Chinese are successful.

Our “addiction to money” and a better standard of living will put the planet in peril unless we fundamentally change. Professor Ehrlich has been warning us since 1971 and we have not been paying significant attention. Unfortunately, globalists will re-engineer us on the path to sustainability. It may require the reduction in global population to a manageable size of 1 billion because the existence of the other 5 billion is unsustainable and inconvenient to the resource environmentalist planners.

I have described in my book, “U.N. Agenda 21: Environmental Piracy,” (http://www.amazon.com/U-N-Agenda-21-Environmental-ebook/dp/B009WC6JXO/ref=sr_1_1_title_0_main?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1364404317&sr=1-1&keywords=un+agenda+21+environmental+piracy) all the ways and venues by which globalists will fundamentally change every facet of our lives but the question remains, will the low information citizens pay attention and learn quickly that everything they like to do and cherish is going to be labeled unsustainable?

 

Maligned Fossil Fuels, Engine of Economy

According to the Congressional Research Service, overall energy consumption has tripled in the U.S. since 1950, per capita consumption increased 50 percent, and electricity consumption increased even more rapidly. The heaviest energy user, the industrial sector, grew the slowest. From 1973 to 2010, “the consumption of electricity remained close to 0.4 kwh per constant dollar of GDP.” Annual power generation now is ten times larger than in 1950.

“Renewable sources (except hydropower) continue to offer more potential than actual energy production, although fuel ethanol has become a significant factor in transportation fuel. Wind power has also grown rapidly, although it still contributes only a small share of total electricity generation.” (Carl E. Behrens and Carol Glover)

The reality is simple: renewable energy is not sufficient to power the largest economy any time soon. I am yet to drive a wind or solar powered car. Electric cars, if they do not “brick” themselves (the engine dies and must be factory rebuilt for $40,000), do not go very far between charges. Hybrids do not get the mileage per gallon claimed and their batteries are toxic to the environment.

The pie-in-the-sky wind energy can be expensive. Windmills are noisy, people nearby complain of headaches and insomnia from the constant hum, propellers kill thousands of birds, particularly endangered species, and nobody wants wind farms in their own back yards.

The maligned fossil fuels are the engine of our economy. Gasoline provides transportation and electricity generation. Natural gas provides home heating, industry and electricity generation. Cars, vans, trucks, and buses can be retrofitted to run on natural gas. Coal generates electricity exclusively and so do nuclear and hydroelectric power plants.

Since 1950, crude oil provides 40 percent of U.S. energy. In spite of political fear mongering, we are not running out of oil as we were told since the 70s. We have discovered new reserves in deep-sea waters, Mexico, oil sands in Canada, and heavy oil in Venezuela.

Different sectors of the economy consume different types of fossil fuels. Many products that hypocritical liberals use abundantly are made from petroleum, yet they support green energy.

Diesel fuel is used in many transportation sectors. Railroads utilize diesel and diesel-electric power. Marine transportation, large commercial trucks, and some cars use diesel. Most of the food brought to the American table is ferried by eighteen-wheelers. Aviation uses 99 percent jet fuel. Some airlines are advertising the use of bio-fuels. (U.S. Energy: Overview and Key Statistics)

The Keystone pipeline was nixed by this administration, bent on increasing the price of oil, making energy skyrocket, and bankrupting the coal industry. The Arab Winter turmoil interfered with Libya’s oil production. We freed Iraq but it is selling oil to China. President Obama is cutting back on domestic oil production with every opportunity by imposing a moratorium on domestic drilling in the Gulf and using EPA’s regulations to prevent new oil leases on federal lands and sometimes on private lands.

According to Joe Miller, “Obama’s State Department is giving away seven strategic, resource-laden Alaskan islands to the Russians. The seven endangered islands in the Arctic Ocean and Bearing Sea include one large island the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined.” The Russians are going to get Wrangel, Bennett, Jeannette, Henrietta, Copper Island, Sea Lion Rock, and Sea Otter Rock and “tens of thousands of square miles of oil-rich sea beds surrounding the islands.” Estimates by The Department of Interior include billions of barrels of oil.” (World Net Daily)

The Joint Ocean Commission Initiative recommended that the United States give its oceans to the regulatory power of the United Nations Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) which would control oceans, connected waterways, and any oceanic economic activity including passage, fishing, mining, and exploration of fossil fuels.

“Obama’s plan is still in draft form. It calls for an executive order to be issued for a National Ocean Policy that will determine how the ecosystem is managed while giving the federal government more regulatory authority over any businesses that utilize the ocean.” The executive order will draw on Obama’s 2010 Interagency Ocean Policy Taskforce and Executive Order 13547 of July 2010, “Stewardship of the Ocean, Our Coasts, and the Great Lakes.” (Aaron Klein, World Net Daily)

Sierra Club is blocking the natural gas liquefaction facility of Virginia-based Dominion Resources Inc. at Cove Point, Maryland because it would “change the footprint” of this “natural heritage area.” Dominion wants to export by 2017 750 million cubic feet of gas per day from the Marcellus Shale to Asia. (Ben Wolfgang, The Washington Times)

Sierra Club argues that Dominion’s hydraulic fracturing (fracking) would pollute the Chesapeake Bay and cause irreversible environmental damage to many adjacent areas. The air and drinking water would be poisoned by the process of injecting water, sand, and harmful chemicals to crack deep underground rocks that would release the natural gas.

“Supporting Safe and Responsible Development of Unconventional Domestic Natural Gas Resources,” President Obama’s Executive Order passed on April 13, 2012, aims to control the natural gas market that delivered 25 percent of our energy in 2011. Environmentalists cannot let cheap natural gas interfere with their stated plans to de-develop the United States as punishment for 235 years of ecological imperialism and social injustice.

Many solar energy storage companies, alternative energy companies, and solar panel manufacturing companies that were backed by the Obama administration and heavily subsidized by the Department of Energy have sought bankruptcy protection. Several government subsidized German manufacturers of solar panels have also gone bankrupt.

According to Christopher Bedford, China stopped expansion of its wind and solar energy production, concentrating on nuclear, hydroelectric, and fracking. China has 14 nuclear power plants and 25 under construction. U.S. has 104 nuclear power plants, built prior to 1974, with two new ones scheduled to operate in Georgia in 2016-2017. Unlike China, who is the largest producer of hydroelectric power in the world, we do not build hydroelectric power sources, we blow up dams in order to comply with the EPA Endangered Species Act.

Daniel Kish explained that China is making cheaper solar panels and windmills in order to sell them to western countries that impose renewable energy and clean energy standards on their citizens.

“It is getting tougher and tougher for the Obama administration to argue that somehow we’re in this big race for green power worldwide when the rest of the world seems to have decided that the race isn’t worth winning.” (Daniel Kish, Institute for Energy Research, Daily Caller)

In the meantime, we are experiencing unnecessary high prices at the pump when we could be energy independent, if our administration cared more for the U.S. economy and its citizens and less for the United Nations dictates, treaties, and laws.

It is true, there are other variables that affect the price of oil, such as exchange rates (oil is priced in dollars, a very weak currency right now), OPEC policies, a changing commodities market, inelastic demand for oil products (consumers must buy gasoline whether they like the price or not), and federal taxes on gasoline (18.4 cents per gallon).

The main impediment to our energy independence is the federal government’s policies of green energy, wind, solar, renewables, and out-of-control regulatory agencies such as the EPA and federal bureaucracies like the Department of Energy.

The EPA will use any tactics, including “crucifixion of Big Oil,” to enforce draconian rules and to bring coal, oil and gas companies into submission, in order to fulfill Obama’s “dream of a green planet” devoid of polluting humans. Americans will pay dearly for his dreams.

Subsidized and Expensive Solar Energy Bites the Dust Again

Solar Trust of America, filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Delaware courts, the ninth solar energy company to bite the dust, adding to the previous list of BrightSource, Beacon Power, Ener1, Evergreen Solar, Fiskar, Solyndra, Sunpower, and Spectrawatt.

Solar Trust of America, which listed assets between $1 to $10 million and liabilities between $10 and $50 million, was unable to meet the Department of Energy loan guarantee deadline. The $2.1 billion loan guarantee was “the largest amount ever offered to a solar project.” (The Washington Examiner)

“Despite the posturing and finger pointing, the American solar energy industry is alive and well.” He continued, “One company’s bankruptcy [Solyndra’s] has cast doubt on the credibility of a government program that is otherwise being administered with incredible efficiency,” said Uwe Schmidt, chairman and CEO of Solar Trust, in an op-ed in the Huffington Post.

Spiegel Online reported that even Q-Cells, the biggest solar cell manufacturer in Germany and the world has filed for bankruptcy on Tuesday, April 3, 2012, with a record loss of $1.1 billion in 2011. In Bitterfeld-Wolfen, 2,200 workers have lost their jobs. Q-Cell’s share price was 9 cents.

Q-Cell blamed competition from China, management issues, and solar energy subsidies. When the government subsidies dried up, Q-Cell was not able to compete in a real market as their product was expensive to make. Production prices have fallen in China by 30 to 40 percent, much faster than other companies could scale down their costs, especially when relying on government subsidies.

“Solar subsidies had been a highly effective political means of promoting the environmentally friendly technology.” (Stefan Schultz)

Scheuten Solar from Freiburg declared bankruptcy in March 2012. Solarhybrid and Odersun from Frankfurt-an-der Oder filed the same month. Berlin-based Solon and Erlangen-based Solar Millennium filed for bankruptcy in December 2011.

The reality is that there is no cheaper substitute right now for fossil fuels as a source of energy, no matter how the administration and its proponents spin it. Solar power is expensive, windmills are expensive, noisy, and unsightly, hydropower does not provide enough energy for our large economy, and nuclear power requires more plants to be built. Two reactors are in the works in Georgia.

Using crops to produce bio-fuels has caused a shortage of key grains such as corn in many countries and caused the price of food to spike. “Energy prices affect the production of fertilizers as well as costs related to food distribution and farm machinery use.” Grain futures spiked when the U.S. government reported that grain stocks were lower than estimated, and soybean and wheat plantings fell. (Reuters)

According to the Heritage Foundation, a Senate bill, rejected 51-47, and encouraged by President Obama, “attempted to impose higher taxes on the oil industry as punishment for their profits.”

Instead of easing regulations and allowing for domestic drilling, liberals stage votes to punish the evil oil companies at a time when average oil prices in the country passed the $4 mark and the crude oil is $105 per barrel. No mention is made of the fact that oil prices are quoted in dollars and that crude supplies are getting short. A currently weak dollar causes a higher price for crude. Further complicating the problem, “High crude oil prices have fueled the upward pressure on inflation since the start of the year.” (Reuters)

David Kreutzer, a Heritage expert, describes the manufacturing tax credits that disadvantage the oil and gas industry:

“The unfair tax break that makes up nearly half of what Obama calls ‘subsidies’ is the manufacturing tax credit. All manufacturers except the oil and gas industry get to deduct 9 percent of their revenues before calculating their tax bills… Though oil and gas producers get the deduction, they are singled out for a lower 6 percent deduction. The oil and gas industry gets a deduction that is only two-thirds as generous for all other manufacturers…yet the deduction is called a subsidy to oil and gas. The President’s proposal does not eliminate the deduction for any other industry.”

The crony capitalist green alternative energy has not worked so far, it has sunk billions of taxpayer dollars at a time when we can ill-afford it. Obama’s FY 2013 budget contains more billions to fund the Department of Energy research that is not commercially viable. (Nick Loris)

As we are witnessing a very slow and painful economic recovery at an average rate of 2.4 percent economic growth, at least one percent below of what the period 1947-2007 has experienced, our government is pursuing alternative energy sources at all costs, hampering economic growth and real job creation while pushing non-existent green jobs.

As liberals keep saying, “we are not paying our fair share,” the U.S. corporate tax rate of 39.2 percent is now the largest in the world as of April 1, 2012. The average tax rate for other developed nations is 25 percent. (Mike Brownfield, Heritage Foundation)

It would be nice if our government would stop spending so much money borrowed from China, and multi-national corporations like GE would pay some taxes instead of filing 57,000-page tax return to shelter them from paying. Was it not Congress that passed legislation enabling large corporations to move their headquarters, manufacturing, jobs, and investment to other countries?

Nobody stops liberals, who love to capture sound bites about “paying a fair share,” from writing a large check to the IRS simply because they are so rich and “we must spread the wealth to the poor.” They can start by giving the rest of us an example of the “communist generosity” they so admire and advocate.

In the meantime, I hope liberals of all stripes stop the alternative energy talking points and start drilling domestically for oil. They cannot put windmills on a car and cannot power electric cars without electricity produced cheaply by the coal industry.
