The Post-Partisan Emporium

  Making Europe a Wilder Place by Hans Vogel Hans Vogel exposes the EU’s rewilding agenda as a project that dismantles rural life, drives Europeans into controlled urban zones, and unleashes growing danger through unchecked mass immigration, turning cities and countrysides alike into hostile terrain of wolves, wild boars, and violent “asylum seekers.” With great effort and lavish funding, Europe is being made a wilder place. Based on the assertions of “climate scientists” and a whole array of programs and ideas worked out by armies of bureaucrats, the unelected European Commission is reenacting a modern version of the classic five-year plans of the former Soviet Union. With one crucial difference: the Soviet five-year plans were intended to develop and diversify the Soviet economy. The EU’s “green Agenda,” the 17 UN “sustainable development goals” and “Nature 2000” essentially aim to make Europeans totally subservient to the ruthless religion of environmentalism. Nature, which is e...

  Stonehenge, Carbon-Cultists, and Nostalgia for the Real LUKE DODSON As some of you probably know, I began blogging  back in 2020  to express my concerns over what appeared to be a technocratic coup within the environmental movement. The back-to-nature ethos of the 20 th  century green movement, as naïve as it could be, was being replaced with a pseudoscientific vision of lab-grown food, genetically-engineered ecosystems, and 'renewable' energy tech (and, of course,  unlimited migration because climate-change ). A number of commentators, such as  Neoliberal Feudalism , have referred to this process as 'skinsuiting'. Behold, environmentalism in 2024! The impetus for all this nonsense is, of course, the drive towards 'net-zero' carbon-emissions. Whether the elites actually believe that you can power an industrial civilization without fossil-fuels, or this impossible ambition is simply a cover-story for the controlled-demolition of the world's economy, is any...

  O Death IRINA SLAV In February this year, Barclays  announced  it would stop direct financing for “energy clients, for upstream oil and gas expansion projects or related infrastructure.” The bank followed a massively popular trend in the industry of boosting support for transition-related businesses at the expense of traditional energy because traditional energy was the new plague, at least reputationally speaking. There must have also been plans to profit from the transition, no doubt, because forecasts and projections said it would be profitable. Fast forward five months and imagine my surprise when Barclays’ CEO, CS Venkatakrishnan  told  Bloomberg this week that banks couldn’t just quit oil and gas “cold turkey” and that the “reality is that for quite some time, fossil fuels will be with us.” In the same report, Bloomberg graciously informed us that Barclays is not the only one having sort of second thoughts about this whole move away from oil and gas busi...

  A "massive cushion" of madness IRINA SLAV The Cambridge Dictionary  defines  madness as “stupid or dangerous behaviour”. It also lists a few dozen synonyms, featuring words such as “chaos”, “bedlam”, and “confusion”. All of these can and should be used to describe several recent updates from Camp Transition. In one of these, I’d go as far as to use the lovely set phrase “stark, raving mad” and it’s not the one you’re thinking of, namely the latest gift from the IEA. But let’s start with that gift. Earlier this week, the IEA made all the headlines in the world by  warning  of a looming oil supply excess— a horrible overhang (which the IEA called “a massive cushion”) of 8 million barrels daily that is to materialise before 2030 while demand growth slows down because the IEA said it would slow down, so there can be no question about it. The IEA itself, true to character, called the expected supply surplus, or rather the spare production  capacity  surpl...
