Oi! Oi! Oi!

THERE IS A REASON we do not develop our own energy resources…they are being held as collateral for our massive debts held by foreign countries. When we default you will see Chinese oils workers, miners, and other energy related workers showing up in the USA. They will live in separate autonomous communities apart from us, just like they are doing in Africa.

We are destined to be a resource of the Chinese with our population being irrelevant. In order to create a new world order, the largest pool of free thinking people has to be destroyed.

If you think me insane, look to Iraq. The Chinese are drilling for oil there, the USA is not. We have given them the oil as long as they give us loans. The government, Republicans and Democrats alike, have sold us out. Look on line to find the transcript of the speech given by Chinese General Chi Haotian to see the future the Chinese envision for us.

That’s an interesting take on things. But man, does it make me say ouch! I wonder how a President Palin, or a President Trump, God help us, might supercede this arrangement.

Why the Media Blackout On New Energy Breakthrough?

CHEAPER ELECTRICITY OUGHT TO BE a topic of interest, you might think. But because the media is pushing uneconomical “green” technologies, you probably haven’t heard of the discoveries which promise to make electricity generated by natural gas cheaper.

Since 1992 the U.S. DOE has “invested” hundreds of millions of dollars into clean-burning, efficient “combined cycle” natural gas turbines made by GE and Westinghouse to power dynamos in central electricity generation stations.

GE? I saw these massive generators being built for South American installations in person at a General Electric Jacksonville, FL plant. A very clever highschool friend whom I was visiting at the time, built these awesome generators. I was impressed. Hamfisted and dreamy-eyed myself, I’d always considered Freddy Wilson a bona fide mechanical genius (after his dad), and now he was clearly proving how far he had come since taking apart every nut, bolt, spring, belt, and thingamajig rusted stubbornly into a 1960s AMC Rambler to then scrape, clean, drill, bore out, reshear, repaint, and finally reassemble a shiny spanking hot muscle rider whose poor white walls only lasted three, four weeks, month after month, until he would eagerly move on to another mechanical post-scholastic feat. He took a job at the Jax plant right out of highschool. Twenty years later he was still there, shop steward, I heard. With the woes and wranglings GE has experienced the last decade or so I would guess my friend has retired or has started a second career, tweaking some knuckle-skinning machine I’d wager.

But why is GE and Jeffrey Immelt now siding up to wind mills and disregarding this proven, more robust, and yes, clean technology?

Anthropomorphic Climate Change: A Hoax By Any Other Name

Ukraine pollution, Ukraine industry

Ukraine Pollution

NAME THAT TREND. Catastrophic Climate Disruption. Anthropogenic Global Warming. Man-Caused Climate Change. The Hoax that couldn’t shoot straight. Al Gore’s Ticket To Ride. The worst part of all this mayhem is in the whole of geological history we know there really are climate CYCLES.

They are periodic and can be loosely predicted. There are cycles within cycles—so that within a 90 year major cooling cycle you will have a lesser 45 year warming cycle and a lesser 45 year warming cycle, but the overall trend is still one of cooling. I wish we had graphics here—picture two circles, touching so that they look like a plump figure 8 on its side. One represents 90 years of coolong, the other 90 years of warming. Within each is another figure 8 representing 45 year cycles. Within those are figure 8s of roughly 11 year cycles.

“I saw this diagram in a popular magazine back in 1985 0r ’86—written by a scientist—I have been unable to find it again, but I sure remember it.”

There is abundant data showing these cycles are tied to the sun’s cyclic activity and sun spots. The sun is the planet’s major source of energy.

Because 45 and 11 year cycles fall within normal human lifespans, many people notice temperature patterns when they stop to think about them—like the ten years in the late 60s-early 70s when Ann Arbor, MI had little or no snow (it sure ended when we moved there and had to buy a snowblower for our tractor.) Farmers and ranchers are particularly sensitive to these patterns as they have to plan ahead. Honest scientific research and data gathering has documented these cycles into prehistoric times.

We find it reprehensible that James Hansen at NASA turns a blind eye to this truth along with many other scientists. There is no way human activity caused past climate cycles and this can be extrapolated into the future. It is Anthropomorphic Climate Change that is the lie. The more honest truth is that human activity can and does cause messes in the form of regional pollution and combustible garbage, easily recognized, well-documented and fixable.

This Anthropomorphic Climate Change scam is keeping folks from buckling down in cleaning up our regional nests and preparing for some real weather challenges, which may or may not occur exactly as partisan experts predict. Scientists of this order have left their original calling in becoming the henchmen of government ideologues. Sadly, these environmental hijinx are happening in conjunction with the US and global economies being destroyed by greedy governments preparing to cash in on new industries they have incentivized.

Make No Mistake About It

THE UNITED STATES MUST CHECK ITS SENTIMENTALITY at the door, shake loose of the leftist solipsisms and get down to the mature and necessary business of clarifying our geo-political relationships across the globe. Again we must consider the Red China redux.

Militarily: Restore the military’s inventories of weapons to sufficient levels, replace obsolete weapons (with F-35s, Virginia class subs, etc.), and equip the U.S. military to protect the U.S. and its allies against Communist China. This must include a national missile defense system capable of intercepting all Chinese missiles, cyber defenses, and modernized minesweepers. Congress should also refuse to reduce total defense spending. America’s global military deployments should be reconsidered and realigned with the 21st-century threat environment.

Economically: Protect the American industry with strict product quality standards and export-import certificates to end America’s large annual trade deficits. Also reform the tax code to prevent corporations from fleeing abroad (e.g., to China); abolish all bans on drilling for oil and natural gas to ensure plentiful, cheap energy for the U.S. economy; and reopen America’s mines of rare-earth minerals.

Diplomatically: Strive for good relations with China’s neighbors, recognize their territorial claims rather than China’s, and establish an Asian NATO to bring America’s Asian allies and partners together against China and North Korea. Sell weapons to China’s foes.

Morally: Speak out for Chinese dissidents and label the criminal Chinese regime as such. Link Sino-American relations to China’s human rights record. Ronald Reagan did so throughout the 1980s: he recognized the USSR as an evil empire, publicly called it such, and used the moral lever to win the struggle against the Soviet Union. Today’s American officials should do the same vis-à-vis China, the new Evil Empire.

Solar Energy On My Mind

I SAW THIS SOLAR TECHNOLOGY ON TV, and my first thought was, ‘I want that for my bunker, but it’s probably some flimsy worthless scam.’

So far, my online research hasn’t churned up any dissenting opinions, but plenty of cookie cutter touts of this gadgetry. The My Solar Backup generator operates solely off the sun’s thermal energy, and supposedly, can even charge while one is using it. Topping out at 1,800 watts of power which should be ample for most mid-sized homes, what are some of the reasons why one might balk at this green solution.

Well, despite the much hyped feel-good demand for green power, it is both and expensive and dirty business. Right now this company has a deal where they’ve dropped the price from $2,097 to $1,597, but that is definitely a lot considering you can buy a gas powered generator that generates 2,000 watts of power for about $200…

Having just moved to the Virginia Blue Ridge outback I have yet to be without power in an emergency situation but if one can afford the price tag and have a burning desire to install an eco-friendly source of back-up energy, this technology appears to be an excellent choice.
