Al Gore and John Kerry should have their nuts cut off. Fighting pollution is one thing but this green new deal all electric is so bogus. As an engineer I can show that electric cars cause more pollution and use more fuel than a gasoline alternative, starting with construction, fuel consumption and ending with the catastrophe of disposing the damn poisonous batteries. Wind and solar are not even close to being technically feasible.

There are a lot of stupid people in this world

Al and John have no balls! They are freaks. These enviro-bullies are backed up by their drunk with power military and 3 letter agency thug daddies. That’s their power.

Given that the entire purpose of our elite globalists, since the offshoring of American jobs and entire industries began decades ago, now accelerated by unionized teachers (the dumbest, by SAT, of any college cohort), the WEF, and the various Blackrocks & Bains (Romneys) of the world, aided & abetted by the Pharmafia & the Military-Industrial Complex (if, indeed, those two are separable), has been the destruction of the Middle Class, this should not surprise.

The wealthy can buy the liberty they desire, the poor can’t afford any. It’s that pesky middle that wants - and must begin demanding - our liberty and the fruits of our own labor, and the freedom to raise OUR children as WE desire. (See Eliza Doolittle’s father…)

The question - the ONLY question, is: when do we stop commenting on our enemies - for that is exactly what they are - and begin removing them… for ourselves and our posterity? They won’t stop themselves…

Damn right those fires were set; thermal imaging shows 100+ fires starting at once hundreds of miles from each other. 'Non-profit' Climatistas or Canadian Government? Me thinks Castro's son's radical leftist party... Fear is the game and they are the professional corrupts.

See article written by Clare Marie Merkowsky titled, "Satellite footage raises possibility that arson, not climate change theory, to blame for Quebec fires".

Glad to see you up and running so quickly. I am currently at my home in North Carolina roughly 1,000 miles from the fires in Canada. And yes the smoke is here too! Yes, the smoke is annoying and detrimental to health. It is aggravating my lungs. Still, for me I pondered something else. Everyone should take a look at how far that smoke and particulate has traveled and imagine that it is a fallout cloud from a nuclear detonation. Or, maybe another virus release? We have serious problems friend. I'm not sure why but the movie Elysium has remained a hot nugget in my brain since first seeing it many years ago.

God promised that he would never wipe out the earths population again. God did not say he wouldnt allow us to do it ourselves.

We as living beings don’t understand sufficiently that we have more in common with fellow life than we are educated to understand. We have grown to think of ourselves as above other life - more evolved - more intelligent. Many times however I believe we are no such thing. Especially when our actions indicate quite the contrary. Is there any other species which works so diligently against their own best interests? Is there any other species which allows leaders to take hold who work diligently to destroy rather than to shepherd and guide? We - unlike other animals - agree to live within civilisations which select for corrupted warlike leaders. Leaders who work so against our best interests that we expand our numbers to enrich them but befoul our own nests. In an endless Ouroboros cycle we choose leaders and live in civilized majesty that serves to destroy us.

Other animals are driven by instinct; we alone have reason & free will. We alone can sin. Sin is the cause of most of life's misery.

how do we know what animals are driven by? which animals? do we know the immense variety of minds of the animals? how can we know they don't reason and have will? how can we know that what drives animals isn't the exact same things as drives us? food, shelter, comfort, family, love, fear, hate. the racoon lounging in the laundry basket after she broke into my garage to steal dog food exhibited quite a few human drives; my dog speaks with her eyes and she understands english.

My dog is a long-legged Jack Russel almost 16 years old and she is the love of my life. She came running into my place when I was alone and had nothing but love to share. It was then and there I decided, that dog will be mine I bought the silver coins one ounce each and paid fair and square for our dog whose name is Evie.

beautiful.

I've had visions of maybe getting in the Guinness Book of World Records with Evie but I don't think it is going to come to that and I don't think it makes sense to spend so much currency to try to keep alive at the end of ones life. This sort of wise way of thinking about things is broadly applicable I think....but if Evie makes it to 20 years, I'll pay to keep her alive out of vanity - otherwise, I'll always remember her as the dog that loved to run over to my place and be happy about it all.

Hells-Bells, both what you say Margaret and what margie says as well makes total sense to me both ways, but maybe the key of it is a sense of what we need day by day?

So sin is the cause of life's misery, but animals do they sin Ms. Margaret? I don't think they do, so margie must have a point worth consideration is all I'm saying.

Were the fires intentionally set?

Was Covid intentionally released?

Was the vax intentionally harmful?

Was the economy intentionally cratered?

Was the pipeline intentionally blown?

Yes to all.

Are we going to do anything about it to take back Western Civ?

For THAT is the question at-hand..

Yes. that is the question at hand. How without fomenting civil war? How without falling into traps?

I think it commences with local commerce. Then build your way up from there.

It might entail non-compliance with some rules that make no sense in the first place.

I advocate for some "Article V" action per the us of a Constitution in the us of a, but bearing that possibility doesn't incur, then it is incumbent upon all to make contingencies. I hope you have planned in advance. Some of us have and we are a ready to take this to the final point of conclusion. It is called being "fedup", able to read the writing on the wall, caring about future generations, and willing to die if that is what it takes because Justified Retribution is demanded and justice must be served - it cannot be denied. It is irrefutable and indomitable.

Ask Lady Libra - she holds the scales and she suffers no fools.

We are finding here that our council is one third liberty. Teo years ago, maybe 1%.

Expand full comment

What does "one-third" liberty mean? - I mean liberty - you either are all for it or you support tyranny? I'm 100% liberty and I appreciate virtue as well. As for "teo" - 1% is untenable....liberty demands better.

So, regardless of party, liberty as a concept means something even if the postmodernist think they can define words and concepts on the fly - oh how wrong they are is what I think humbly - I believe in both liberty and virtue and together those two can be fearsome indeed. They are the seeds of Justified Retribution.

I have believed from the beginning--decades ago--that the environmental calamity being predicted was either exaggerated or a scam. How many articles and exposes have said as much. Even Michael Moore produced a very good documentary on wind and solar energy which demonstrated and exposed the scam. Yes, people are getting very rich and others poor. So my question is, how the hell can we stop this? Especially as free speech is no longer something we can assume comes without a heavy price.

Great essay. I would like to add to your below statement (since I live the area - S Jersey).

"This corruption was sharply illustrated earlier this year by the several hundred whaleswashing up on the shores of the East Coast of the U.S., caused some say by wind turbine noise and vibration."

The windmills are under construction and are not up and running. This problem likely is caused by the construction noise and underwater testing (high frequency sounds for construction mapping).

Cheers

Evolution vs. Revolution. Evolution works everytime, Revolution, not so much. On our own, we have reduced pollution and made the oceans more habitable. Capitalism will switch to renewables the minute they are viable. Capital will flow when Capital thinks it will be rewarded, consensus rules the day, or should rule the day because investment is nothing more than an expression of our hopes for a better life. Revolution, abstract, top down, central command and control economic manipulation, has failed everywhere it has been implemented and we have experienced it here. We need leaders who understand business and capitalism, and... who have our best interests at heart. We need an iconoclast, like yesterday.

The problem is that capital is being forced to flow by gov policy, as Ms Nickson notes. It’s doing this because that is where policy is rewarding it. Your view seems to be based on a free market flow which does not exist in the anti-liberty, anti-freedom, anti-prosperity “Green Agenda.”

They should be called the “Jussie Smollett Fires...”. When there isn’t enough of the crisis du jour, simply make some up.

We are a LONG way from supporting a claim that the Ontario/Quebec fires were deliberately set. It seems much more likely to me (Ontario resident) that the fires are the product of complete negligence in forest management, something modernist greenies are totally against, for fear of disturbing the habitat of some ancient beetle or rodent. California probably has the most regular wildfires in North America, and while some have been identified as having human origin (usually accidental -- homeless dopers in the woods) the reason they get out of hand is that the forests are unmanaged, and the forest beds are covered with dead material: diseased trees, broken limbs, stunted undergrowth.

I'm not certain of the condition or recent weather events in the far north, but south of Ottawa, where we own an old farmhouse and its surrounding 8 acres, we experienced a devastating ice storm late in the spring. Our lot is bordered and crossed only by tree-lines, nothing you could call "forest", and our home and outbuildings are surrounded by vast open cornfields and cow pasture. This is standard terrain all around us, but some of these spreads are punctuated by small stands of forest. The damage caused by the weight of the ice was immense, bringing down giant limbs and branches, most of which were clearly healthy, not dried out or dying.

This happened everywhere in our area, and as we drove by the patches of forest it was clear that such stands were an untended chaos of parched undergrowth, old limbs, dead trees, and now a new layer of overgrown limbs felled by the ice. One tossed cigarette or, much more likely, one lightning strike, and these small woodlands would swiftly go up in smoke. Lightning is the most powerful and effective "arsonist" in existence. And self-appointed environmentalists are the biggest obstacle to caring for the preservation of forests, and clean wilderness air for that matter.

It is somewhat hysterical to leap to the conclusion that multiple small fires detected by a satellite were the work of arsonists, unless that satellite was close enough to detect coordinated human activity on the ground. The boneheaded behaviour of the "Laurentian elite" that governs Canada is probably less capable of pulling off a coordinated crime than of ignoring the welfare of sparsely inhabited distant land and the natural wonders that thrive upon it. You give them way too much credit for being devious, and insufficient credit to the power of Mother Nature to go on a weather bender. Further level-headed study is required.

Ok so you haven’t read anything else I have written I am guessing, but in fact the Quebec Surete has already arrested one person and has launched an investigation into the fires because they are suspicious. I am going to leave answering the rest of your comment until perhaps you have read the vast file of book and policy papers I have written on forestry and public land mismanagement. Alberta has arrested a dozen suspected fire setters and BC several more. Also in NS. I am not a fool, madam. In the meantime....https://the-pipeline.org/were-the-canadian-fires-deliberately-set/

Sigh ... environmentalists ignore robust forest management which has controlled underbrush burns - so as to save the endangered double-horned, blue-spotted dung beetle living under mossy, decaying cedar logs in a specific forest region; and, bob's yer uncle, along comes a raging wildfire that wipes out the specific region, as well as another 3000 hectares, killing untold insects, birds, animals, and plantlife, some of which may be "protected." Huh? Why are environmentalists not factoring this in? Some so love plants and feathered & furried critters that they have abandoned good reason and respect for fellow man.

We have been mesmerized by their decades-old high-sounding environmental mantras, which have led to the creation of a stranglehold on good forest management - and leaving us vulnerable to fires which kill humans, animals, neighbourhoods and livelihoods. While real humans scramble and lose homes in the face of raging fires, these folks sit far away and loftily plan more green interventions.

How did we ever let this come to rule our good reason and logic?

Thank you for this local report, Claudia. It rings true to me, a former resident of California, which you correctly note has struggled with destructive forest fires that move astonishingly fast, destroying neighborhoods,, including multi-million-dollar homes carved into the foothills of mountain ranges. The last fire which precipitated a public discussion about leaving untended undergrowth alone (supported by the greenies) was met with the ultimate authorities in my book: Native American tribes who still engage in religious rituals in their own forested tribal lands. They resoundingly rebuked those who were adamantly against burning off dead wood and the underlying organic tinder. The native Americans basically took the public to school on this, and no one could credibly claim that they were simply asserting their ownership on the issue without having the requisite knowledge on the matter. They called it good forest management, respectful to Nature and wildlife.

"I can read the face of the older woman who checks out my groceries, it’s a combination of endemic sorrow and permanent fear. That is what green does to the less advantaged."

So well put. I feel so sorry for many, many people today. I don't have it too bad myself but seeing as I'm not a psychopath/sociopath I really feel terrible for the many, many wage slaves and poor ones that are being created en mass. My turn is coming up, I'm sure... Actually, I already had my turn during the "scamdemic". But it's never too late for another round.

They know that with this green stuff the earth will never sustain the number on it now. So they abandon oil and work on wiping out the population. Ghouls.

And now they're using the wildfires in Canada for an excuse for their "climate change" BS. And people just go along without any investigation. It couldn't be years of forest mismanagement...noooooo, of course not. /s I'm even starting to get the feeling those wildfires are being deliberately set by Soros funded green nuts.

They are such hypocrites - these "Green" one proclaim they love the planet - it is the opposite, they hate the planet, they hate the rest of us, and most of all they hate themselves.

That is the fate of all hypocrites - self-hate.

They contradict their own principles - oh lets ban natural gas they say - meanwhile the forest burn down and a proxy war occurs so wasteful in *kraine. Ignominous hypocrites - Justified Retribution awaits them.
