DISCOURAGING: Pointing out the “EV” scam — like the plan-demic

The Electric Vehicle Scam is a Symptom of Western Decline
17 January 2024 by Larry Johnson 

*** begin quote ***

But I got to say something about the Electric Vehicle scam. It is bad for the environment. The rare earth minerals needed to produce these extravagances requires mining operations that exploit the very poorest people on the earth. And, despite all the nifty technology that adorns these electric vehicles, they can’t handle the cold.

*** and ***

The push in the West to eliminate fossil fuels and “replace them” with this so-called clean energy would be a damn funny joke if the consequences of these decisions were not so serious. Wealthy liberals who virtue signal by driving their Tesla believe they are smart, but fail to contemplate how the energy is produced to power these expensive turkeys. Most owners infatuated with EV technology failed to consider the fact that the batteries that power these expensive golf carts will eventually need to be replaced. Elon Musk insists they will last 20 years, but that prediction is not based on evidence. It is a scientific guess. If you do have to replace it expect to shell out an additional $25,000 dollars for the battery. That does not include the labor costs of installing a new one.

*** end quote ***

I particularly like all the useful idiots who think that “electricity” comes from the plug in the wall.  Not a care in the world as to what is behind that plug.  Like the old “tea break” power outages in the UK when everyone would plug in their kettles during a TV commercial break, what happens when everyone comes home from work and plugs in their electric car? 

The saddest part of the story is the exploitation of the poorest people on Earth to mine the rare earths.

Argh!

MONEY: Will the Gooferment admit that they are “counterfeiting”?

Making Change: Do We Need Pennies?
When making money involves losing money
January 2024

*** begin quote ***

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

  •     It costs around three cents to produce a single penny.
  •     The United States lost over $93 million producing pennies in 2022 alone.
  •     Eliminating the penny likely wouldn’t raise costs for American consumers.

*** end quote ***

I doubt the Gooferment will ever stop making pennies because then they would have to admit that they have been stealing the people’s wealth.  Silently and surreptitiously.  At least when you are robbed by a mugger, you know it. 

Penny candy, a nickel cigar, and dime a gallon gas are bright neon signs that the Gooferment mafia has robbed you.

Wake up rube and see the road map.

GOVERNACIDE: Illegal alien Criminals — including killers — were preotect by Biden

Secret Documents Reveal Biden’s Border Crisis Was An Intentional Policy
Sarah Arnold  | January 14, 2024 9:00 AM

*** begin quote ***

“Increased cooperation between ICE and local law enforcement is critical and makes our communities safer, so of course, this administration wants to limit that effort,” IRLI Executive Director Dale Wilcox said in a statement. “There is no benefit to this country or its legal residents by keeping criminal aliens in the country, yet it appears to be a priority of this White House. The American people own those emails, yet we are not allowed to see them because it might embarrass this administration and expose their extremist agenda.”

*** end quote ***

Amazing how much the Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats hide their actions.

So everyone is a risk as a result of this action. 

Regardless of where you are politically,  we can all agree that criminals, who are illegal aliens, should be IMMEDIATELY deported.

INSPIRATIONAL: There are no Wrong Decisions

Friday, January 19, 2024

https://geni.us/inner-battles?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

Darius Foroux’s Win Your Inner Battles: Defeat The Enemy Within and Live With Purpose

There are no Wrong Decisions

“Learn to view every decision as an opportunity for growth, regardless of the outcome. Embrace the uncertainty and use it as a stepping stone to learn and evolve.”​

# – # – # – # – # 

I used preach that there are no “bad” decisions.  First, not making a decision is really a decision in disguise. Second, you ALWAYS make the “best” decision you can based on all the dikw (i.e., data, information, knowledge, wisdom) available.  Some of those “best” decisions turn out to be “wrong” in retrospect.  Usually due to insufficient data, wrong information, missing knowledge, or a lack of wisdom.  Just because a decision turns out badly does NOT make it “wrong”.  That’s why it’s always important to do an After Action Report and Lessons Learned.

I really wish I’d done more but again that was a human failing on my part not to learn from my “mistakes”.  Hope you do better than I did.  

Sir Isaac Newton, the famous English scientist, once said, “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”

HEALTHCARE: I don’t know what I don’t know, but I do know that what we are “told” may be absoultely wrong

How Do We Navigate Uncertainty In These Perilous Times?

  • Investigating the Mysteries of the mRNA Vaccines

A Midwestern Doctor  —  Jan 5, 2024

*** begin quote ***

One of the great challenges in life is that many of the dilemmas we face have no clear cut answer, and frequently, diametrically opposed solutions to those dilemmas emerge which are both arguably correct but also arguably incorrect.

For instance, I know of more cases than I can count of someone “trusting” someone else they thought they had every reason to trust then get taken advantage of by that individual. Conversely, I know many people who have have been scammed in the past and are hence so distrustful they close the door to immensely beneficial opportunities that periodically come their way and greatly set themselves back in life by doing so.

Much of my life has revolved around a fascination over what constitutes “the truth,” and in this, I find a similar issue emerges. If you are too trusting of the sources you come across, you will inevitably come to believe falsehoods, whereas if you are too skeptical of the sources you encounter, you will inevitably fail to recognize critical truths.

*** and ***

Ultimately, there is no correct solution to this dilemma, as no matter how hard you try to calibrate yourself, you will either be too skeptical or too trusting of some of the information you come across. This in turn has led many to adopt the wise words “trust, but verify.”

My own solution to all of this has essentially been to do both. A third of my mind entertains and considers a lot of ideas which are quite out there, another third of my mind sees reason after reason to doubt everything I come across (and effectively debates those ideas with the first third of my mind), while the final third acts like a “judge” and tries to weigh which side is more correct.

*** end quote ***

I have grown more cynical over the last decade than ever before in my life.  I remember hearing that “FDR knew about the Pearl Harbor attack before it happened” from my maternal uncles and again by several of the Christina Brothers that taught me in grammar school who were vets.  I never thought much about that fact and how that assertion differed from the common “knowledge”.  How stupid was I?  Later when I read Robert Stinnett’s book Day of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor. I re;ized that what teyhy told me was true.  Decades later, I know wonder how much else I “learned” was not true either.  Go down the list of Conspiracy Theories and be amazed at how many were really true.  The Federal Reserve System enables the Gooferment spend on “guns and butter”.  The Gulf of Tonkin attack on American ships.  The Japanese American’s internment.  The slaughter of the buffalos and the American Indians.  Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction.  The Covid pandemic.  The Military Industrial Complex’s forever wars.  Big Pharma and reulgatory capture. The FDA, CDC, and the Medical Establishment. And, on and on.

There’s a joke that goes around social media that “I Need New Conspiracy Theories All My Old Ones Came True”.  Unfortunately, that is NOT a joke.

Long complicated read, BUT maybe the “smoking gun” as to how the Jab is killing and maining people.  I found it “interesting”.   I’m not a doctor but as fat old white guy injineer I found it completely plausible within my experience and whatever expertise I have collected over the years. 

Argh!

HEALTH: These novel white fibrous clots are killing people and the FDA / CDC are ignoring them

Wednesday, January 17, 2024

https://kirschsubstack.com/p/embalmer-survey-2023-over-75-are?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=548354&post_id=140562149&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=onvra&utm_medium=email

Embalmer survey 2023: Over 75% are still seeing novel white fibrous clots

  • These clots were NEVER seen before COVID and the COVID vaccines. The CDC isn’t interested in investigating. After all, it’s only in around 20% of cases or around 600,000 Americans. No big deal.

Steve Kirsch  —  Jan 10, 2024

*** begin quote ***

The good news is that in 2023, just 20% of cases had these novel clots, down from 30% in 2022.

The CDC and FDA are still ignoring this. They still don’t want to know, even though nearly 80% of the embalmers surveyed are reporting seeing them.

These clots were never seen before COVID and after the COVID jabs, even more embalmers noticed them.

*** end quote ***

When will this get on their radar?

It sure is on everyone else’s radar!

INSPIRATIONAL: This seems to be a big step forward to a real solution

Tuesday, January 16, 2024

https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/texas-tiny-house-community-for-the-homeless-nears-2000-neighbors-easing-homeless-in-austin/?utm_campaign=newsletters&utm_medium=weekly_mailout&utm_source=10-01-2024

Texas Tiny Home Community Thrives With 2,000 Neighbors: Easing Homelessness in Austin
By Andy Corbley – Jan 9, 2024 

*** begin quote ***

“…No one’s ever done what they’re about to do,” Mark Hilbelink, the director of Austin’s largest homeless-services provider, told the New York Times.

In a big feature for the Times, Lucy Tompkins documents the stories of hope and recovery that some of the residents have lived through since moving to Community First!, which is run with a Christian ethic of “Neighborhoods of Knowingness.”

*** end quote ***

For all the politicians and bureaucrats slavering about the issue, little gets done.  In this day and age, one would think that if the Gooferment would just get out of the way with all its diktats and “regulations”, private charity could “solve” the problem.  Like the lessons from the Great Chicago Fire, intelligent help can do wonders. All Gooferment did was close down the mental asylums to “save money” and never deliver the local mental health resources that were promised.

Argh!

HEROIC: A highway engineer risks his life to save two other souls

Monday, January 15, 2024

Quick-Thinking Hero Saves Trapped Woman and Toddler From Sinking Car by Lashing it to Bridge
By Good News Network – Jan 6, 2024 

*** begin quote ***

A hero dad saved a woman and her three-year-old daughter after he saw their car being swept away in a flooded river.

Liam Stych leapt into action fighting a raging torrent after hearing the woman screaming “Help me, help me, please save my baby!”

A video shows the woman’s car being dragged under a footbridge as floods surged through Birmingham, England on Tuesday following Storm Henk.

*** and ***

The highway engineer then sprinted back to his work van and grabbed a set of 3.5 ton ratchet straps.

“Once the baby was safe I ran to get the straps and climbed back to the car and smashed the back passenger window.”

*** end quote ***

Wow, I know that took a set of stones that the average Joe Sixpack doesn’t have.  I’d like to think we all could do it, but would we.  And, even if willing, would we be capable of it.  After all who has the tools at hand to tie a car to a bridge?

Hope the fellow wins the lotto. He earned it.

TECHNOLOGY: The demise of Blu-Rays and DVDs allows real time “book burnings”

Nolte: Best Buy to End Sales of Blu-Rays and DVDs
John Nolte 5 Jan 2024

  • Best Buy will stop selling physical media this year, according to numerous reports.

*** begin quote ***

“The move away from physical media has been attributed to the changing habits of [stupid] consumers, who increasingly prefer streaming and digital downloads over traditional physical formats,” per the report. “This trend has been evident over the last decade as DVD and Blu-ray sales have experienced a significant decline.”

*** and ***

What’s the matter with you people?

This is our art! And you’re going to leave it in the hands of left-wing multinational corporations like Disney, Apple, and Amazon?

Hey, it’s no skin off my nose. I got mine, and I’m going to keep right on getting mine. But if you have a movie or book or TV show or video game you love, you are facing a future where it will either get disappeared, be censored, or made available only through a monthly subscription service.

I refuse to live in that future.

*** end quote ***

I learned this lesson when all my books on cassette were made obsolete and I was urged to rebut the same content on CDs.  I griped to anyone who listen and fell on the deaf ears  of all the politicians and bureaucrats. I refused to buy it all again. 

Then the car makers dropped the cassette players.  And, I was really screwed.  So I used drive with a portable cassette player in my truck and my car.  Finally the tapes began to wear out and I just gave up.

I still hate the Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats for “copyright” law that makes me “license” content that I “buy”.   

Sorry, but I’m not buying into the whole scam.

Like “lifetime guarantees”, the value of a dollar, and “jumbo shrimp”, I can recognize a scam from a long way off and here comes the next one.  Before long, every streaming “service” will force you to pay for everything al la carte IN ADDITION TO a low monthly “membership fee”.  

Argh!

And the rubes aka “We, The Sheeple” will hail “progress”.   Not me.
