The many manifestly idiotic delusions associated with the drive to save the world by the elimination of the gas of life might be sufferable were they to be at least sensibly arguable, but as many are beyond the reach of rational thought, there comes a point at which the inner human must for sanity's sake emit a silent thought-scream - "Please just MAKE IT STOP!".

However as I am conscious that 'we all know' that the Green agenda is vital for the extinction of humanity before the world reaches another 1.5^oC (I may not have that exactly right - it may have been changed to 2^oC whilst I had a momentary lapse of attention - but it somehow feels right) I must draw attention to another unforeseen obstaclewhich I'm sure requires urgent research and investigation lest it impede the important onward march toward green technocracy (donations please to the usual address, and don't

The last working blast-furnace in the UK is going down.

Can nothing be done to save it?

Short of shipping it to China (where cheap coal is abundant) as a free gift, probably not.

After all, it requires coking coal that it could have had locally from a proposed mine in Whitehaven - but that conflicted with the Government's Net Zero policy so it couldn't.

So instead of giving it a viable source of supply, the government in its infinite wisdom sought to give the Chinese owners a £500m bung (for a totally impracticable "conversion to green energy") if they would only take the problem off its hands, an offer which the Chinese, being sensible businessmen (whether also CCP spies or not), could plainly see wouldn't make the business viable.

We know that Trump isn't a conventional politician.

So when he talks of "joining the British Commonwealth" it is likely a ploy to provoke a counter-move in the direction that he actually wants to promote.

Still, this move is so out of line with the original intent of the American founding fathers that it demands some sort of analysis - what is he up to?!

1) It may be a straight distraction that he has no intention of progressing through to a finish - but it will set tongues wagging about something that is only there to distract attention rather than wagging about what is really going on behind the publicity. 

2) He could be using it to focus attention on the absurdities of King Charles and the Privy Council, that currently directs matters colonial / ex-colonial. "Canada" springs to mind but it could be more far-reaching.

3) Perhaps it's just an opening gambit in

This is a bit long in time, but a little short for the task undertaken.

None-the-less Sandi gives us a tour de force which pulls together a great many threads that were necessary for the incoming new global technocracy.

"This is happening" 

Now, and in your area!

The powers necessary were put in place by the Cities and Local Government Devolution Act 2016.

Devolution being something of the reverse of the truth, as smaller councils will be amalgamated into larger "combined local authorities" with directly elected mayors - as clamoured for by nobody other than unelected groups mostly funded by NGOs.

Thus will local government be reorganised to the liking

This article is written from the American perspective, but politics knows no national boundaries any longer.

As nobody has ever said to my knowledge, but it needs saying so I'll say it:

"Our Creator gave us the most extraordinarily capable organ between our ears, and it would therefore be the height of discourtesy not to use it"

Yet today's education establishments seem to go out of their way to discourage its use.

The tactic is presented as a Left vs Right issue, but that does a great disservice to the many - well, several at least - proponents of "the Left" (for example, Yanis Varoufakis) who assert that the Left should be the champions of the people, and who see no conflict between that ideal and the ideal that we should use our "God-given" gifts to the full to that purpose.

Better late than never, but the Tory Leadership (you know - those who from the get-go were far-sighted enough to lead the Brexit campaign and to rubbish the absurd and impracticable stupidities of Net Zero) have... desperately hopefully... and only one suspects because they now have no alternative...finally acknowledged that Net Zero isn't going to happen, and if it does it will destroy the nation's future.

"Today, I’m talking about one of the biggest ways we are destroying our children’s inheritance. Let’s start by telling the truth on energy and net zero. Every single thing we do in our daily lives is dependent on cheap, abundant energy."

Well Kemi, there are, sadly, no prizes for coming last. True leadership is indicated by coming first, but the Tories have

Apparently BP used to mean "Beyond Petroleum" but now it may need to be rebranded as "Back to Petroleum".

Apparently the bottom line didn't support the speed of transition attempted, so now the priorities have been readjusted to reduce the speed to a more affordable pace. We just don't know (but we can guess) whether that new pace will turn negative soon enough...

CDN reports on this new and (in certain quarters) unexpected reality.

Meanwhile in Germany (where they are more enlightened and do things so much better than in the UK) they aren't at all inclined to go back

Making a welcome return to these pages (or perhaps he actually belongs in a previous blog incarnation...), and once more provoking the question "Why do the most knowledgeable people exhibit the most erratic and confusing styles of presentation?", Ken Wheeler explains the function of the Giza pyramids in the light of the recent discoveries of what is said to lie beneath them, as only Ken can.

Enjoy!

"The Federal Republic has boarded an express train to Green socialist purgatory"

So says Eugippius, a German blogger who follows their arcane politics. One surmises that the only reason that their leading politicians are no worse is that Greta Thunberg is unavailable.

He makes the UK government look quite saintly in comparison (although I must add the caveat that this is this week - and a week is a long time in politics...).

When the onward march of technology meets the onward march of intermittent wind and solar, what will be the result for our power bills? Or indeed, for our supply of power?

In two words, I suggest "not pretty".

But never mind, we will have MHHS to help, so that will be OK, right? And it will all be controlled by energy regulator OfGem ("We work to protect energy consumers, especially vulnerable people, by ensuring they are treated fairly and benefit from a cleaner, greener environment" - remember that "benefit from" bit), so what could possibly go wrong?

Faith Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency, whilst not exactly scrapping "Renewables", has effectively scrapped "Net Zero by 2025".

"There is a need for oil and gas upstream investments"

You don't say.

Now listen up, this is important!

Many believe that the global population is expanding inexorably, and we will soon exhaust all of the world's resources. Humanity is a cancer on the face of the earth.

We must be curbed!

But if the fact is stranger than the fiction, what would be the consequences?

A lot of chickens are coming home to roost in the US, and another lot need to come home in the UK to swarm Ed Miliband.

Specifically the Net Zero chickens (and I'm not even talking about the culls for "bird flu", although if Covid was a scam then why would "bird flu" be genuine? Work it out).

How long must we endure stupidity (ie: pay ever increasing subsidies to wind farms that don't produce whilst also paying for standby power from reliable power sources that do produce, to say nothing about destabilising the grid) before the penny drops?

"... we would have saved about £90 billion since 2006 if we had just retained the spread between wholesale and household prices that we had had from 2000 to 2006... we have not seen any benefit to bills from having renewables..."

"... there's also an expectation of demand increasing with electrification, although that's actually being offset... by

It is reported that the State of Texas is looking at adding "the equivalent of 30 nuclear reactors by 2030" in order to meet the requirements to connect up new data centres to the grid.

A quick glance at relative population levels reveals that the UK has around twice the population of Texas, so if population size is indicative of power requirement, the UK may need up to 60 new "nuclear reactors" over the next 5 years.

The government seems to agree- at least on the need for data centres...

.. but has anybody thought to tell EdMiliband?

After many decades of government subsidy to get the green revolution up to speed, we might be forgiven for asking "are we nearly there yet?".

If not, at what point does reality exert its influence on (a) us and (b) our government?

And the answer of course is that governments don't answer to reality, only to the World Economic Forum / United Nations.

Which does rather bring into sharp relief the nature of our belief in our "democracy". Did we really vote for Agenda 2030 / 2050 and all the implications?

And if not, why is that?

The Daily Sceptic shines a light on the Green New Misinformation Deal.

War requires ice-cold emotionless thinking, accurate and timely military intelligence, and an economy that can support the Forces' needs for munitions and military equipment as and when they need them. Oh, and of course they will need the Forces themselves, trained up and ready to go. 

And where will we get the steadfast national leadership that could lead the nation through such a perilous venture? 

Given the government's track record of sacrificing all of the above in pursuit of the ridiculous UN Green New Deal and the numerous fairy tales that that involves, the chances of this new "peace-keeping" venture holding back a vast well-prepared battle-hardened Russian army with copious supplies of state of the art armaments, look vanishingly small to me.I would go so far as to say that should Russia decide to call our bluff and brush us aside...

With "renewables" leading to ever higher energy costs, nuclear still regarded with some suspicion (and SMRs not yet rolling off the production lines in volume), government-backed mega power-stations seemingly permanently mired in the paralysis of analysis and the perils of politicking, and of course fracking being sent packing, some think that old king coal is poised to make a come-back.

Yes, there are obvious problems with that, but there's problems with everything just now - and just how are all these wonderful new but power-gobbling AI data-centres going to be powered?

Eugyppius, a German writer on Substack, reviews the Munich Security Conference that "Vice-President" JD Vance addressed last week.

"It’s always dangerous to pick moments from the cacophony of current events and assign them historical significance, but if any singular speech is likely to signal the end of the present political insanity in Europe, it is the one Vance gave in Munich on Thursday"

A fascinating review that majors on pointing up the total hypocrisy (conscious or unconscious) of the European political players, and not merely in Germany.

Not to mention the ever-growing divide between the people and their politicians, something that America has just rectified...
