THE BIG PICTURE 

Proof – “The Biden Thing revealed the truth about both the pushing of battery powered vehicles and the putative reason for the pushing of them the other day – when he mumble-barked the other day that he would impose a “100 percent” tariff on battery powered devices made in China (as well as a heavy tariff on batteries for devices made in China). We are told – we are harangued – that there is a looming “climate crisis” of apocalyptic scope that is headed our way on account of a fractional, almost unmeasurable increase in the fraction of the Earth’s naturally-existing CO2 (about 0.04 percent) and that it is absolutely necessary to reduce the fraction of a fraction generated by the driving of cars with engines by getting rid of cars with engines. These must be urgently replaced by “zero emissions” (of C02) at the tailpipe battery powered. Because it’s a “crisis.” Well, if it is, then why would those pushing this narrative – and pushing battery powered vehicles by pushing those that aren’t out of production – not want to encourage the distribution of inexpensive battery powered vehicles that most people could afford and never mind whether they were made in China? If you are on a ship that is sinking, does it matter who made the lifeboats?” – Eric Peters – GREAT POINT FROM ERIC AS USUAL!!!!

Startup raises $26.5 million for vaccine to stop cow farts and burps – “ArkeaBio, a Boston developer of a vaccine to reduce livestock methane emissions, raised a $26.5 million in venture capital funding led by an investment fund founded by Bill Gates. Why it matters: Caring about cow farts (or burps) has become a political punchline, but they’re estimated to create more than 5% of global greenhouse gasses.” – Dan Primack and Ben Geman  – AND JUST HOW DID THEY COME UP WITH THIS 5% FIGURE. DID THEY STRAP METERS ON COW ASSES!!!!!!!!

Enough With These Dangerous Calculations – “What precise metric are we going to use to determine costs and benefits population-wide? Many millions were forced to take experimental injections that they did not want nor need. Many were injured and with no chance of compensation. This is gravely unjust. You don’t need to take recourse to fancy philosophical conjectures (The Trolley Problem, The Lifeboat Dilemma, The Fat Man on the Bridge, etc.) to do the utilitarian calculation. And yet, such calculations are precisely what the defenders of society-wide pandemic interventions are citing as evidence that we can and should do it again. The costs are high, they now admit, but worth the benefit. We forged our societies to have laws and guaranteed liberties that can never be taken away, not even during a pandemic. It is never worth using the power of the state to ruin lives to fulfill anyone’s abstract vision of what constitutes the greater good.” – Jeffrey A. Tucker

Understanding Smart Cities, 15-Minute Cities, and How We Win – “What exactly is a “Smart City” and how does it relate to a “15-minute city”? And what does any of this have to do with individual liberty and freedom of movement?” – Derrick Broze  – GOOD PRIMER FOR THOSE THAT DON’T KNOW ABOUT THIS YET!!!

Ex-NIH Director Confirms ‘No Science’ Behind 6-Foot Distancing Rules – “Which is of course why schools remained closed, ruining actual childhoods… Newly released testimony from former NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins confirms that Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx did not base the pandemic-era six-foot social distancing rule on science, and instead were making things up as they went along.” – Tyler Durden – EXCUSE ME, BUT I BELIEVE MR. COLLINS HIMSELF WAS JUST AS MUCH A PART OF THE PROCESS AS WELL!!

Compulsory smart meters crucial to fight ‘real and growing risk’ of drought, experts warn – Paul Homewood

The Carbon Capture Con – “Carbon-capture-and-underground-storage “(CCUS)” tops the list of silly schemes “to reduce man-made global warming.” The idea is to capture exhaust gases from power stations or cement plants, separate the CO2 from the other gases, compress it, pump it to the chosen burial site and force it underground into permeable rock formations. Then hope it never escapes. Engineers with buckets of easy money may base a whole career on Carbon Capture and Underground Storage. But only stupid green zealots would support the sacrifice of billions of investment dollars and scads of energy to bury this harmless, invisible, life-supporting gas in the hope of appeasing the high priests of global warming.” – Viv Forbes

Is the Pope Catholic? A joke question becomes a serious one *UPDATED* – “Pope Francis represents the Catholic Church, its doctrine, and its storied almost two-thousand-year history. However, Pope Francis has consistently derided Catholic teachings on climate change and sexuality. In both cases, he speaks like a social Marxist, not the head of the Catholic Church. The Church’s strength, always, has been two-fold: Its fealty to its core religious doctrines and the glacial slowness with which it changes. Its teachings are meant to be primary and eternal, rather than to move with the fads of the moment. Changing those teachings is an enormously consequential act because each change raises doubts about the church’s prior infallibility. You’re not a spiritual or cultural bulwark if you change policies according to the polls and the whims of the crowd.” – Andrea Widburg

Russia & China — Two Against One – “Xi Jinping’s reception of Putin yesterday in Beijing sealed the increasingly formidable strategic relationship, fundamentally misunderstood in Washington. If NATO country hotheads send “trainers” to Ukraine, the prospect of a military dust-up is ever present. What Biden needs to know is that, if it comes to open hostilities between Russia and the West, he is likely to face more than just saber rattling in the South China Sea — and the specter of a two-front war. The Chinese know they are next in line for the ministrations of NATO/East. Indeed, it is no secret that the Pentagon sees China as enemy No. 1. ” – Ray McGovern

Closer to Nuclear War – “I can’t help but wonder what proponents of America’s participation in the old Cold War dinosaur known as NATO are thinking about NATO officials who are contemplating sending NATO military personnel into Ukraine to train Ukrainian troops in their war against Russia. Those who relish the idea of nuclear war between the United States and Russia undoubtedly must be ecstatic over the possibility of such a move. It has been clear for some time that Ukraine is losing its war with Russia.” – Jacob G. Hornberger

Biden Depression Syndrome: It’s the Economy, Stupid – “Bidenomics is taking a dangerous mental toll on America. It isn’t the big-ticket purchases that have bank accounts depleted so much as the day-to-day necessities like food, housing, and phones – and the lack of any savings to act as a safety net in uncertain times is wreaking havoc on the psyche.” – Sarah Cowgill

How the Regulatory State Cripples Small-Business – “Politicians parrot on about small businesses being the backbone of the economy, only to pass the regulations that stifle them. In 2024, several federal agencies instituted new regulations on small businesses. These agencies included the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, the IRS, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The new restrictions add to an exponentially increasing mountain of mandates that small businesses have to comply with. The United States is highly regulated compared to other Western market economies.” – Schiff Gold

If we have no money, the solution is very simple: you should print more money.” It’s easy to laugh at Amin for thinking that printing more money would actually solve any of Uganda’s underlying economic problems. But Amin probably wasn’t interested in solving Uganda’s problems. Printing money was a way to solve his problems.” – Jon Miltimore
