Satellites Under Threat

Destroy these satellites, and our world DOESN’T WORK.

At least, not like it does now.

Brown Violating the 1964 Civil Rights Act

And I don’t mean Brown of Brown v Board of Education but rather Brown University.

And for what’s, in effect, a BLATANTLY RACE-EXCLUSIVE training program, Brown has been CALLED OUT by The Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism (FAIR), of which I’m a member.

Here’s FAIR’s letter to Christina Hull Paxson, Brown’s president.

FAIR’s Letter to Brown University re the MBSR Training Program

Pay particular attention to paragraphs 3, 9 and 10.

Just as you can’t discriminate against “BIPOC” people on the basis of skin color, you also can’t discriminate against whites on the same basis.

Even for so-called “compensatory” purposes as dictated by what some consider reasons of social justice.

No, sir. The saw cuts BOTH WAYS.

The ‘Lynching’ of Roland Fryer

Yes, this is BEYOND CANCELING.

And for what? FOOT-FALUT “sexual” indiscretions?

NO. For not drinking the SYSTEMIC RACISM KOOLAID, particularly regarding what it takes to get black kids properly educated.

I know something about this as it’s something I HELPED DO at St. Benedict’s even BEFORE they REWROTE THE BOOK on it — FIFTY YEARS AGO.

UK Facing Energy Realities

It didn’t take long for the Brits to join the REALITY-BASED PRAGMATISM CAMP when it comes to ongoing day-to-day energy needs.

WITHOUT SUFFICIENT ENERGY PRODUCTION AND GENERATION, THE WORLD STOPS.

And no amount of climate-change activism or DELUSIONAL GREEN-ENERGY-REPLACEMENT-TIMETABLES can do anything about it.

In other words, WE CAN’T YET — AS PART OF OUR ONGOING EFFORTS TO ELIMINATE ALL HYDROCARBON PRODUCTION — A) PICK AND CHOOSE ALTERNATIVE FUEL SOURCES AND B) STILL HAVE A FUNCTIONING GLOBAL ECONOMY.

No, we can only choose from WHAT’S AVAILABLE NOW.

And since there isn’t as yet enough CLEAN-GREEN-ENERGY CAPACITY, we must continue to rely on that dreaded word, HYDROCARBONS.

From Felicity Bradstock via OilPrice.com

“The U.K. appears to be doing a 180 on its climate promises, as the government shows significant support for ongoing oil and gas operations and several new fossil fuel projects. Despite pumping millions into renewable energy developments, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has continued to back North Sea oil and has even shown interest in extending coal plant operations, having previously vowed to end coal production earlier than anticipated by 2024.”

And this:

“In the face of rising consumer energy prices, which have sent many into fuel poverty, Johnson says that North Sea oil will be vital in tackling the cost of living.”

YES, THE EXACT DEFINITION OF A 180.

NO DOUBT, WE WILL SEE MUCH MORE OF THIS.

Shifting Economic Power

It’s been coming for years, but now it’s much nearer as numbers drive GDP.

Assuming you have capacity and knowhow, POPULATION then becomes key.

ASIA = POPULATION.

A Tale of Two Recessions

From Bill Blain:

“The respective outlooks for the US and Europe are very different. Recession is coming:

In the US it will be short, sharp and painful. It will give Donald Trump – who will likely still be calling the shots on the resurgent Republicans come the November Mid-terms – or his successor, the opportunity for a landslide blaming Sleepy Joe for destroying the economy. The US is energy secure and will feed itself. Inflation will hurt, but has hurt before. The US economy will bounce back. (There will be wobbles – higher rates mean thousand of US Zombie over-indebted corporates will fail. Revlon went for bankruptcy protection y’day.)
For Europe: not so much a swiftly resolved shock, but a continuation of long-term pain. The economy – which never really recovered in Southern Europe – will prove even more definitional. The coming stagflationary crash will hurt. It will crush savings, the EIB expect 17% of European corporates to default, jobs will crash, rising social tensions will see Gillet Jaunes on the streets from Paris to Riga, and a renewed refugee crisis cause by food insecurity across North Africa will inflame populism.

“The last time Europe looked this economically weak was in the aftermath of World War 2, when the then new global hegemon, the USA, used the Marshall Plan to bail-out, rebuild and restructure Europe as the bastion against the Soviet Union. It took foresight and vision.”

BUT THIS TIME, THERE WON’T BE A MARSHALL PLAN AS THE US NO LONGER HAS THE MUSCLE.

EVEN MORE WORRYING, BLAIN IS CLUELESS ABOUT CASCADING SYSTEMS FAILURE WHICH IS SOMETHING WE’RE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE.

AND NOT JUST IN THE WEST BUT EVERYWHERE.
