The Seven Dirty Secrets of Solar Energy
By Lorraine Miles

*** begin quote ***

Secret number seven involves energy security: the protection of a nation’s citizens depends upon a secure and permanent domestic energy supply. Once again, Germany is the example. By decommissioning all its nuclear plants with no backup plan in sight, it trapped itself. Almost immediately, starved for electricity, it built a pipeline to — of all nations — Russia. And Putin, seeing that he had Germany under his thumb (and enjoying his war chest being filled daily with millions of Euros from Germany), invaded Ukraine. Was this a cause-and-effect event, a total surprise? Hardly, at least for a number of geopolitical critics at the time. But Germany’s leadership was apparently blind.

*** end quote ***

Why can’t the USA Gooferment make nuclear power a priority?

I guess there is no grift available to the politicians and bureaucrats.

France has them.  Germany is going in that direction.

Why can’t we get in on the cheap domestic energy?

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: We’re fromt he Gooferment and we’re here to help!

If We the People Were Actually in Charge
By J.B. Shurk

*** begin quote ***

Perhaps no greater delusion stubbornly persists from one generation to the next than the idea that governments can be trusted. Sure, they conduct their affairs in secret, spy on their own people, and arm themselves to the teeth — but, by all means, trust them as you would a dear relative. Sure, they steal from productive citizens, manipulate markets, and swell their bureaucratic armies with ever-growing taxes — but, by all means, trust them as you would a close business associate. Sure, they impose their beliefs on our culture, ban the public expression of unfavored religions, and interpose their agents between parents and children — but, by all means, trust them as you might a pastor, rabbi, or priest.

*** end quote ***

Ronald Regan’s words rang true.  The Gooferment is not only NOT your friend.  It’s your enemy.  And, should be treated as such.

IMHO

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: National Emergency Alert Test is flawed frome the start

Sunday, October 8, 2023

National Emergency Alert Test

Simultaneous tests of the nation’s wireless and broadcast alert systems will ping cellphones, TVs, and radios across the US today at 2:20 pm ET, the first such nationwide test since August 2021. 

The less-than-one-minute alert—which can be deployed by only the US president or the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency—is designed to evaluate the network’s effectiveness in communicating national alerts within 10 minutes. The system has its roots in the Cold War when officials sought a quick way to warn Americans of a possible attack from the Soviet Union. State and local governments frequently deploy similar systems for weather alerts.

The cellphone notification will consist of a two-second tone followed by two one-second tones, a cycle which will be repeated twice, similar to Amber Alerts (listen here). Phones that are powered off, in airplane mode, or connected to the internet only through Wi-Fi will not receive the alert. 

# – # – # – # – # 

SO THE TEST DEMONSTRATES THE FLAW IN THEIR THINKING. Or lack there of.

It can’t possible “alert everyone” so the fundamental assumption is wrong.  But let’s go ahead anyway. (Remember the sirens in Hawaii?). 

AND, at the cost of (1) annoying the <synonym for excrement> out of everyone; AND (2) potentially exposing every domestic violence victim who has an emergency burner phone hidden away.

Great idea.

Politicians and bureaucrats are just font of waste effort and useless NPCs.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: “Two Beers A Week” soon to be a diktat?

Biden’s ‘Booze Czar’ Floats New Possible Guidance Of Only Two Beers A Week
by Tyler Durden
Saturday, Aug 26, 2023 – 05:00 PM

*** begin quote ***

In yet another example of the nanny state’s intrusion into the private lives of its citizens, President Biden’s so-called ‘alcohol czar’ revealed to Daily Mail that the United States Department of Agriculture could soon revise its booze guidelines to a meager two drinks a week. 

*** end quote ***

Yeah, the war on drugs has worked so well.  Like the war on “poverty” and all the other “wars” the Gooferment wages.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: US government data is suspect at best; deceitful at worst

Wednesday, August 23, 2023

https://kirschsubstack.com/p/why-you-cant-trust-the-us-government?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=548354&post_id=136012965&isFreemail=true&utm_medium=email

Why you can’t trust the US government data

  • In this article, I will show you why government data is not trustable. That is why I personally prefer anecdotes that are verifiable when trying to figure out what is really going on.

Steve Kirsch  — Aug 15, 2023

*** begin quote ***

Example 3: Thousands of patients died at a tiny facility in 2020 (just 69 beds with 68% occupancy)

This is my favorite example. Facility #235601.

In the last 7 months in 2020, this facility had 2,584 total deaths which included 9 deaths from COVID (from 48 cases, a 19% death rate from COVID).

Here’s the impressive thing: the average occupancy throughout the period was just 47 beds and it stayed pretty constant throughout the 32 week period. There are just 69 beds in the entire facility.

In other words, on average, everyone living there died, on average, every 4.2 days and they were immediately able to fill the empty beds every week.

This facility passed all the Medicare QA checks.

Single facilities like this with such large death numbers throws the aggregate data off.

And this was not the only example of a small facility with thousands of deaths in 2020!

*** end quote **

To us Michael Malice’s line “factual but not truthful”.

We have a CPI that distorts inflation and more voters than are registered.  So why should we be surprised that other sources are “full of <synonym for excrement>”!

I don’t have any idea how to fix the problem other than to disbelieve anything reported.

How does that expression go: 

“Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see.” ― Edgar Allan Poe

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Who will save “We, The Sheeple” from unserious politicians and bureaucrats?

Thursday, August 17, 2023

https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/08/09/forget-crime-drugs-nyc-democrats-ice-cream-trucks-are-real-menace/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell

First, NY Democrats Came for Pizza Ovens. Now, They’re Coming for Ice Cream Trucks.
Jarrett Stepman / @JarrettStepman / August 09, 2023 

*** begin quote ***

New York City, like many other cities in America, is dealing with several acute challenges. None of them involves ice cream.

The biggest issue is the explosion of crime in the past few years. New York experienced a huge increase in burglaries, assaults, and car thefts to begin the year. Liberal media sources keep trying to downplay the problem, but the fact that crime is elevated—though isn’t quite at all-time highs—is hardly something to celebrate or be proud of.

*** end quote ***

At risk of being funny, are these fools serious.  Like Congress with the National Debt, these fools are fiddling while Rome burns.

But the voters keep voting for these … … clowns.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: “Yes, but” the Gooferment forgot to test the ground?

Thursday, August 10, 2023

See the solar-powered homeless shelter made from shipping containers

Jessica Boehm

*** begin quote ***

Twenty unhoused people in Phoenix are set to move into a new, solar-powered shelter constructed out of shipping containers next week.

What’s happening: The city of Phoenix ordered four prefabricated shelters from local company Steel + Spark last year and installed the first outside St. Vincent de Paul’s Washington Street shelter this week.

It has 10 single rooms and six double rooms for couples.

Why it matters: This type of interim independent living provides an important step for unhoused people between staying in congregate shelter and building the confidence to enter permanent housing, St. Vincent de Paul chief program officer Jessica Berg told Axios Phoenix.

*** and ***

The intrigue: All four X-Wings and a 200-bed structure were to be installed at a new shelter at 22nd Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road intended to open this summer.

Yes, but: The city found methane gas at the site and stopped construction last month. Officials tell us they are looking for a new area to build the shelter, but have not yet found a site.

What’s next: Scott Hall, Phoenix’s deputy homeless solutions director, said the city decided to deploy the X-Wing at St. Vincent de Paul in the interim to make immediate use of the shelter and see how it works.

He added the city may find additional places to put the other three wings, but did not yet have details.

*** end quote ***

Kudos for finding a “solution”.  Seems to be a great idea and almost great execution.  Who forgets to solid test for any construction.  Does everyone forget the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

In any event, it’s a partial solution.  It needs plumbing to be a complete idea.

Maybe consult with some RV designers for ideas?

My travel trailer back in the 70’s had it correct.

The poor “unhoused people”, what I’d call “homeless”, need less Gooferment “help” and more “free market solutions”.  

Whatever happened to Jason Stapleton’s(@Jason_Stapleton) idea of “military style barracks” staffed by the homeless themselves as a safe bridge back to society?

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Yet another absurd diktat to save Mother Earth!

Tuesday, August 8, 2023

*** begin quote ***

Incandescent Bulb Ban

A Department of Energy rule requiring new lightbulbs to have a minimum brightness of 45 lumens went into effect in the United States yesterday, effectively banning incandescent lightbulbs. The ban does not affect currently owned lightbulbs and excludes several specialty bulbs used in refrigerators, plant lights, and others (see full list).

The ban is part of a decadelong federal push to increase energy efficiency across major consumer sectors like cars and appliances. Incandescent bulbs, though cheaper upfront than light-emitting diodes, are likely to burn out 30 times faster and are more costly than LEDs in the long term (see comparison). Recent consumer surveys suggest over half of US households already partly or entirely use LEDs as general-use lightbulbs, whose longer life span has likely contributed to the 40% decline in lightbulb shipments over the last decade.

Some studies have suggested the flickering and coloration of LED lights can trigger migraines and other conditions in people with light sensitivity issues. 

*** end quote ***

Is there any aspect of the marketplace that is off-limits to Gooferment interference?

Certainly seems not.

And, what happens when the Unintended Consequences begins to appear like with the Covid Jab?

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Recognize that LBJ’s Great Society absolutely destroyed the black family

How The ‘Great Society’ Destroyed The Nuclear Family Structure In One Chart
by Tyler Durden  — Sunday, Jul 16, 2023 – 02:00 PM

*** begin quote ***

Who destroyed the American family?

The argument can be made that the Great Society programs initiated the destruction of the nuclear family structure. The blame starts with President Lyndon B. Johnson’s set of domestic programs in the mid-1960s that were used to fight ‘poverty’ but only discouraged work and destabilized families. 

*** and ***

First, the US has the highest rate of single-parent households in the world. Second, the connection between single-parent households and crime is very strong. According to research carried out by Jerrod Brown, a behavioral specialist at Concordia St. Paul, the extant literature “suggests that children raised in single-parent households experience more physical and psychological problems compared to those raised in two-parent households.” Moreover, he added, the “implications of homes in which fathers are absent may be important to explore for criminal justice and mental health professionals.”

Maybe this whole Great Society experiment has gone terribly wrong. Let’s try something different. Maybe bring back the family unit and dial back welfare programs.

*** end quote ***

I remember Malcom X’s quote: “… … It has turned out that it’s Johnson in the White House-and black votes were a major factor in his winning as decisively as he wanted to. If it had been Goldwater, all I am saying is that the black people would at least have known they were dealing with an honestly growling wolf, rather than a fox who could have them half-digested before they even knew what was happening.”  — Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X 

LBJ delivered a knock out blow to the black family and fooled the black into think he was “looking out for them”.

While I may not like Malcom X’s politics, he was often right!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Why Vaccines are Treated Differently

Tuesday, July 18, 2023

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/07/why_vaccines_are_treated_differently_from_other_products.html

Why Vaccines are Treated Differently from Other Products
By Victor Fernandez 

*** begin quote ***

Attorney Aaron Siri of the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) who has worked a great deal on vaccine-related issues like vaccine injury claims, vaccine exemptions and vaccine policy work, gave testimony to the Arizona State Senate on May 25th. His impressive two-hour presentation sought to answer the question: How can this system that people rely on fail us so badly? But to understand the failure is to understand the context within which the new vaccines arose. We need to understand what happened 37 years ago.

In 1986, Congress passed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (HR5546). This is an historic act because it removed liability for childhood injury vaccines. Removing liability tends to alter the behavior of entities that benefit. Indeed, it turned out that pharmaceutical companies were no longer liable for injuries caused by their products. That has been the law since 1986. 

Attorney Siri says that he knows of no other product that has that kind of immunity. Not planes nor drugs. But since 1986, big pharma has not had any market force check of any significance. “Think of all the products out there that warrant safety precautions, and the one you give immunity to is the one you give to babies. Think about that.”

*** end quote ***

STUNNING!

Time to repeal that law and hold Big Pharma accountable for its products.

Argh!

Europe doesn’t allow advertising.

We should NOT allow doctors to profit from Big Pharma “bribes”.

The system is corrupt; time to address it. 

In the meanwhile, question authority!
