The War on Life What the climate emergency narrative tells us about the death cult’s psychology John Carter Ancient Yi Wasteland , by Luye Zhang The imminent destruction of the Earth’s climate at human hands has been a constant theme throughout my life. The exact form of it has evolved somewhat over time. When I was a kid in the 80s it was the disappearing ozone layer. In the 90s it was global warming. In the naughts it morphed into climate change. Most recently the branding got racheted up to the more emphatic Climate Emergency. It doesn’t matter that none of the dire predictions of the past have manifested. Back around the turn of the millenium Al Gore rode a crane up the side of the infamous and long-discredited hockeystick graph, and confidently proclaimed that snow would soon be a thing of the past. Meanwhile, here in 2022, the Greenland ice sheet just added more mass in one day that at any other summer day in recorded history. That’s just one example; there are others, more meani...

100 years of Russian gas for India Yamal LNG Project in Siberia, Russia (File photo) India is taking baby steps toward green energy. Two of India’s biggest business houses are spearheading it — Adani and Ambani groups. India has made several ambitious commitments at the Glasgow climate summit and two key pledges were that India’s non-fossil energy capacity will reach 500 GW by 2030 and the country will transition to net zero emissions by 2070. Sceptics doubt whether such timelines are realistic. Meanwhile, the climate agenda itself has gone for a six with the    conflict in Ukraine weaponising energy security in a way that was unthinkable. In all probability, both green energy and zero emission targets will need an extended timeline, as the major industrial countries grapple with economic recession and high inflation. The momentum has been lost and the geopolitics of energy security will inevitably impact the calculus in ways not quite foreseeable. When an energy superpower su...

Fed Admits Crony Truth About Pandemic QE: “it creates new bank deposits” New video John Titus New video  is up. I have made four BestEvidence videos that drive home the same essential point about the Fed’s asset purchase program (QE) under cover of “PANDEMIC!!!”—namely, that it radically departed from previous iterations of QE by creating new bank deposits. The core thesis of those videos, denied by media financial punditry, has now been validated by the Federal Reserve itself, in a  research note  dated June 3, 2022. Thanks for reading BestEvidence!

Let’s take these two basic points in turn, as this video does. Pandemic QE ...

By David Swanson, World BEYOND War, September 4, 2022 It’s tricky to oppose both sides of a war, and rarer even than supporting both sides. The weapons dealers support both sides. In obedience to their televisions, people all over the world spend a great deal of time expressing the opinions dished out by those televisions regarding a particular war that is far from the worst war at the moment. It is the war that creates the greatest risk of nuclear apocalypse, but that does not typically enter into the opinions. You cannot just state that you oppose both sides, because that will quite literally be understood by almost everyone as asserting the unrelated and ridiculous proposition that the two sides are identical, and that will be understood as outrageous propaganda on behalf of whichever side the listener opposes. So, you have to denounce specific outrages by Russia while in the same breath denouncing specific outrages by the United States/Ukraine/NATO, while also in the same breath ex...
