Among the many promises and commitments that he has made during his ongoing transition period, President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to pull U.S. support for the World Health Organization and cancel its commitments related to the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. If a new report issued this week by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources and … Read more
It is always encouraging when a non–Austrian School economist accepts through his own reasoning an essential tenet of Austrian economics. Ruchir Sharma, who is chairman of Rockefeller International, founder and chief investments officer of Breakout Capital, and a well-known economic journalist, is not an Austrian, though he is aware of Friedrich Hayek’s work. He lends … Read more
The Biden administration’s controversial renewal of the US-China Science & Technology Cooperation Agreement presents an awkward closing chapter for the president’s legacy. China has systematically stolen US trade secrets and technology, hacked into telecommunications networks, and spied on American military facilities using drones. Nevertheless, the Red Dragon is essentially being rewarded with a renewed information-sharing … Read more
If the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu shows up at Auschwitz for the eightieth-anniversary commemoration where—to paraphrase Ilhan Omar, “Some people did something”—the Polish government may have him arrested for “war crimes.” This would be a foolish mistake. Simply invite Bibi for the ceremony but do not arrest him. Just detain him “for his own safety.” … Read more
The modern approach to building social networks is to encourage people to network with the kind of people they would like to become. The aphorism goes something along the lines of You are the product of the six people you most commonly associate with. This may hold true, but it encourages an extreme classist society, where the … Read more
PFOS and PFAS are commonly used in wind turbine manufacturing and use. This is not in dispute. Renewable energy components such as hydrogen fuel cells, wind turbines, sheathing for power cables, and coatings for electrical wires can all contain PFAS. They also can appear in battery energy storage system cabinets and in fire suppression systems … Read more
Revolutionary totalitarian regimes have long attempted to make Christmas disappear, or to at least make Christmas into something more to the state’s liking. The earliest example of this can found with the French revolutionaries. Shortly after the First French Republic was established in 1792, the state imposed a new calendar which established a year of … Read more
We’ve all heard “The Twelve Days of Christmas” ringing through the aisles of stores this time of year, but did you know this song is based on the centuries-old Christian tradition of Christmastide? While our culture has taken to celebrating the Christmas season between Thanksgiving (or even Halloween) and December 25th, the Christmas season is only just beginning … Read more
Remember that time in 2017 when an Iceberg the size of ‘Deleware’ calved from the (A-68 from the Larsen C Ice Shelf)? We reported on the fake news back then. Climate fraudsters are busy today touting an Antarctic iceberg the size of Delaware. In 1956, an iceberg five times as large broke off, and it was … Read more
My first reaction to news earlier this month that the Syrian government had been overthrown was, how much did we have to do with it; how involved was the CIA; and how much is it going to cost. As with Saddam and Gaddafi before him, we know that Assad was no libertarian hero. But unleashing … Read more
One of the more amusing facts about the Ukraine war is that it has nothing to do with independence or democracy or stopping a renewed Soviet-era-like advance by Putin. It is about a US/Allied interest in natural resources. Energy, minerals. That’s right, left-wing rage-heads, it looks like you are supporting blood for oil, more or … Read more
What is clearly a joint US-Israeli plan to remake the Mideast map is now well underway. Changes will be seismic. The Biden administration, by now almost totally controlled by pro-Israel neocons, is making its final major moves by loosing a Parthian shaft into the heart of the Mideast. Syria – or what’s left of it … Read more
With the advent of representative democracy over a century ago in most of the West, the popular belief was that the “rule of the few” would be relegated to the dustbin of history. This never happened, of course, as has become clearer to the “many” over the decades. Indeed, the ruling Western oligarchy has become more visible … Read more
As Christians around the world prepare to celebrate Christmas, a hell has been unleashed inside Syria with the seizure of the country by the re-named “al-Qaeda in Syria” now called Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). Its leader is a former deputy commander of ISIS, Abu Mohammed al-Julani. While neocons and the mainstream media in the US and Europe … Read more
We’ve done more scientific reporting on CO2 “driven” Sea Level Rise fraud than anyone in New Hampshire, perhaps all of New England (and then some). Even NOAA has admitted there’s no connection. But grifters gonna grift. COP29 and every COP before it existed to launder money from Western nations to whoever else they think needs … Read more
As the war in Ukraine rages onward, President-elect Donald Trump brings a glimmer of hope for peace in Europe this Christmas season. An end to the fighting hinges on three key points: (1) Crimea (2) the Donbas region east of the Dnieper River and (3) NATO membership for Ukraine. Many more issues lurk, but without … Read more
A ‘few years back,’ some ‘experts’ got busted for talking about how to hide declining temperatures. They were protecting the fake climate consensus by manipulating data and keeping challenging research out of the science journals. The earth wasn’t cooperating, and their funding was at risk. We spend exponentially more on the climate lie than we … Read more
Iran and Russia are the two big losers in the ouster of Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad on Sunday by the Sunni Islamist groups affiliated to al-Qaeda. Assad fled in the nick of time after giving orders that there be a peaceful handover of power. The likelihood is that he is in Russia. At any rate, … Read more
There will never come a time when all human beings are in full ideological agreement, which is why free speech is of paramount importance to peaceful co-existence. Free speech is the only foundation on which men who disagree with each other can debate their opposing ideologies, or even hurl insults at each other if so … Read more
Armed rebels in Syria have driven their former dictator out of the country. Armed rebels. The people of Syria, not the Syrian army. So, in case anyone is still confused: Ruth Ward et Rick Ladd removenda est.
