The Post-Partisan Emporium

  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 business, especially in the

  ‘The Pride Reich’: Riding for a Fall ‘You’ve reduced your identity to the most immature and hedonistic part of you, the part that would exploit someone else for your own gratification'. — Jordan Peterson JOHN WATERS ‘Pride’ display in Malaga shop window Give Us Back the Moon In June This used to be the beautiful month of June,  but between the geo-engineers and the LGBT goons, it has in many places become a cloudy, dispiriting time. Walking around Malaga and Seville these past few days, and coming upon my umpteenth window display constructed in observation of Pride Month, I was impelled to revisit  The Power of the Powerless , the famous 1978 essay written by my great hero, the late Czech philosopher and playwright (and sometime politician), Václav Haval, and as a consequence to amend and update a refection upon it that I myself wrote many years afterwards. In what is perhaps his most famous essay, vac employs as a central motif the image of the greengrocer who is required by the

  A Climate Of Fear So what ARE they on about? RADIO FAR SIDE It is fairly obvious to anyone who has done a bit of scratching around in the “climate change/global warming” quagmire that the entire narradigm is built on deliberately false assumptions, conclusions and methodologies. What is truly concerning in all this mess is the intentional obfuscation of what is really occurring, and what the ruling narradigm is being used to accomplish. We can dispense with the ruling narradigm rather easily. There is no global warming.  Global temperatures  have been steady or even declinng a bit over the past 25 years. If we compare globally averaged maps (the ones fed to the public as fear porn), as compared to the point readngs of actual temperatures, what we find is that overnight temperatures are running slightly above historic levels, while daytime temperatures show significant areas of cooling trends. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is not a “greenhouse gas,” and at current levels of 435ppm, is so far b

  Here's Why the World is Falling Apart  (and What You Can Do About It!) THE CORBETT REPORT by James Corbett Do you ever get the feeling that everything is breaking down all at once? Forget about starting a family or buying a house. It's becoming harder and harder for young men and women just to put food on the table. And those lucky ones who defy the odds and manage to start a family sure aren't spending their time at neighbourhood barbecues while the kids play a game of pick-up street hockey. Today, they'd be lucky to pry the kids away from their device long enough for them to notice that there  are  other kids in their neighbourhood. Not that the parents are any better at living life. What's everyone  doing  on those devices? Scrolling through their never-ending social media feeds of doom porn and ragebait, of course! They're busy watching Israel holocaust Palestine and NATO inch closer to nuclear war with Russia and people at home engaging in  public freakou
