The many flavors of communism promise a lot while appealing to peoples’ envy. With your support, they will “stick it to the Man” only to turn around and become the “Man,” leaving nothing to envy. From X, a compilation by WretchardTheCat: What a sell job – a snow job, a promise of everything to everyone, … Read more
As times change, people’s attitudes towards energy have also changed. They rely on renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power to power new energy cloud mining operations, which greatly reduces mining costs and integrates electricity from surplus energy into the grid. It not only saves a lot of energy consumption, but also generates … Read more
Who is going to make better economic decisions? A smallish group of self-deluded “we know all that is necessary/we know better than you do” narcissists or millions of people making self-interested decisions outside of anyone’s control? It is the First Law of Supply and Demand: Prices are competed to that level at which people want … Read more
Germany’s once-envied efficient economy is in freefall, and the climate change cult and European Green Deal are directly to blame. State policies subsidizing EVs and other products, shutting down coal and nuclear plants, and mandating forced conversion to untested, unimplemented “renewables” resources for energy have decimated industrial efficiency. Industries and blue-collar jobs are fleeing Germany … Read more
Trump is saying a lot of things about the Panama Canal, Greenland…and, of course, Canada. Frankly, while he may be more than just “Trumping” a bit here, and trolling denizens in those areas (he’s certainly riled up most of the EU elite talking about Greenland), I think this talk is directed at someone else. I’ll … Read more
The silent crisis of the United Nations continues to move our nation into world government. Nevertheless, it is respected and protected by “deep state” control of government and the legacy media. Why is UN danger ignored? The UN is based on an ideology that the government is the grantor of human rights. It is the … Read more
The Danes are an interesting lot. They publish research proving that polar ice and polar bears are fine while being all in on the not-so-renewable energy fad. They were big on the wind before there was a big wind, and for years, it has been painfully evident that it’s not going to work, but they … Read more
It is no secret that Wikipedia is part of the #woke media complex. Its editors are a cabal of Pharisees, and the content is increasingly suspect, even on topics like science. What was once intended as an encyclopedia by the people is one by certain people with a very narrow left-wing sense of meaning meant … Read more
More than any other holiday, New Year’s is a day for reflecting on the past and contemplating our future. And, in the fight to protect and advance human liberty, sound economics, and international peace, 2024 has given us a lot to reflect on. Something that becomes clear, especially when studying primary sources from many different … Read more
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
