Reality check: The green inflation myth

Reality check: The green inflation myth

Kingsmill Bond et al

The latest myth of the energy transition is that green technologies are driving inflation because they are expensive and rising in price. The reality is in fact the opposite. The faster the world deploys renewables, the more money we will save in energy costs.

Are You Ready for the Big New War? You Damn Well Better Be

Are You Ready for the Big New War? You Damn Well Better Be, Zero Hedge, BY PHILBUTLER, SUNDAY, FEB 20, 2022 

For the past eight years, I’ve been trying to deliver a message to my people from the Russian people, and from their leader, Vladimir Putin. Immensely powerful forces in the western world do not want you to receive this message. Consequently, almost everything you read, hear, or see is crafted, purposefully, to convince you Putin and Russia are our enemies. The hawks in the west have calculated for decades now, and they’re willing to gamble on the most dangerous crapshoot in history as I type this.

I won’t regurgitate here, about the people who run our society from the top-down. Having ensured the Russians will be our foes, forever, until the end time, their machinations are well documented. I have researched and written about this (in many languages), as much as anyone alive. So, what I want to convey to you today, is that those end times are closer than ever with the current administration’s provocative stance on Russian concerns in eastern Europe. The ‘machine’ that is American hegemony, business, and militarism, is about to auto-pilot us all into a very real Armageddon. I know, you’ve read this before from the fear mongers. But today, there is a great reason to be afraid.

Red Blooded American Propaganda

Let me start with a bit of media analysis.

Foreign Policy Magazine is published by the FP Group, which is a division of Graham Holdings Company, a media conglomerate owned by Donald E. Graham. It should come as no surprise that Graham is one of the so-called Bilderberg invitees, but I only mention this for tone, the dire tone suggested in every dystopian horror film you ever saw. FP is a major propaganda group that is aimed at validating perpetual war and American piracy abroad. I say “piracy’ because this is what we’ve been doing for the past 77 years since World War 2 ended. Again, many of us have written about this, time and again. For today, though, the FP story “Washington Must Prepare for War With Both Russia and China,” reveals once and for all, the insanity in the asylum of our foreign policy institutions. Let me quote from the plot of this article:

“Washington and its allies should develop a defense strategy capable of deterring and, if necessary, defeating Russia and China at the same time.”

This “directive” was written by Matthew Kroenig, who is the deputy director of the Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security. I use the term “directive” because that’s exactly what the FP piece reflects, a real and pre-planned mission to defeat Russia and China in a war. The war that is coming. Yes, this is real, in case you are wondering. Kroenig, just to simplify things for you, is a CIA spook whose entire academic and professional career has been about pushing for the biggest war ever.

I am not sure if he is one of those lizard people the far-out conspiracy people talk about, but he’s the lunatic snake most cited by mainstream media on U.S. nuclear war powers and strategy. Yes, I said CIA spook. Kroenig began his career as a military analyst in the Strategic Assessment Group at the Central Intelligence Agency, and when you join the CIA, you don’t just leave. So, President Biden’s current balls-out unbending stance on Russia is not something that just happened because Vladimir Putin moved some tanks around inside his own country. This ‘plan’ has been decades in the making, and Putin is just reacting the only way any Russian leader could. He’s getting ready for the inevitable.The Real Fears Rising ……………….    everyone is neck-deep in debt in America, and the government is as well…………………………………….

the mission of these great thinkers advising our presidents is to end Russia, plain and simple. Our hardcore elites have been determined to grab the riches of Russia and the other states where American big business has not been set let free to pirate. It all boils down to the delusion that the Earth can be sustainable under the current capitalist system Wall Street, London, and Luxembourg have set in place. This too is a far broader discussion, but it needs to be said here. The ‘game’ we are in is all about winning economically in the short and mid-term. Perpetuating, as it were, the consumerism that is destroying our planet.

……………………………………  And the Biden administration, amplified by 10,000 media outlets in the west, claims Vladimir Putin has been planning for war. 

…………………………….. The current situation is clearly a progression of a strategy that was laid out decades ago. So, can anyone blame Putin and Russia for being suspicious? I can provide a hundred proofs, but perhaps the best is found in this report from 2009 entitled “NATO-Russia: Is the ‘Russian Question’ European?” Prepared by Dr. Thomas Gomart, and Dr. Nicholas Sowels, the report describes how NATO transformed itself in order to exist after there was no further need of such a blunt instrument to fend off the Soviets. The authors say that “the Alliance managed to transform itself by redefining its missions and making enlargement its new raison d’être.” Which, even back then, was cause for great alarm from the Russian side.

……………. If you read with an objective mind, you cannot escape a critical fact the authors reveal. Today’s Ukraine crisis has more to do with three distinct factions in the United States, and a lot less to do with Vladimir Putin, who only seeks to keep Russia whole. Another citation serves here:

“An ‘anti-Russian lobby’ exists in the United States. It includes three main groups: the ‘militarist hawks’ who view US hegemony in the world as natural; the ‘liberal hawks’ for whom America’s democratic values have a universal significance; and the ‘East-European nationalists’ for whom Russia is imperial by nature and incapable of transforming itself into a democratic system.”

So, it makes little difference whether or not Joe Biden is too sleepy and dumb to recognize these lobbies, or if he knows full well and serves them. The Russian position is unchanged either way. And the U.S. position is what it always has been, aggressive on the Russians at every turn. The acute problem is, Vladimir Putin has just approved a mass evacuation of civilians from embattled Donbas. Officials say they believe the Ukraine forces will go on the offensive to take back the region. Mr. Putin also upped the game to include an even broader NATO pullback. The situation has been amplified tenfold. The Russians are just about done talking. After all, what’s the use if NATO’s survival depends on expansion? In fairness, the authors of this study also point out the anti-western lobby inside Russia.
Our Empire Must Not FallHowever, the difference between the staunch Russian militarists and the American counterparts is, the Russians seek security within and regionally, while the United States seeks to run the whole world…………………………….   https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2022-02-20/are-you-ready-big-new-war-you-damn-well-better-be

New report: Nuclear waste’s shifting sands on the lakeland fringe.

NEW REPORT: NUCLEAR WASTE’S SHIFTING SANDS ON THE LAKELAND FRINGE 

 https://www.lakesagainstnucleardump.com/post/new-report-nuclear-waste-s-shifting-sands-on-the-lakeland-fringe?fbclid=IwAR1cUeSqdGMy_BzM5h95e133BFCF6EctuoyGfSppM74aMFwwzKP5lZdvhh0CLICK HERE TO VIEW FULL REPORT https://issuu.com/lakesagainstnucleardump/docs/drigg_-_nuclear_waste_-_lakeland_fringe

A new report has been produced by Lakes Against Nuclear Dump.

“Nuclear Waste’s Shifting Sands On the Lakeland Fringe” outlines a “vision” to emplace Intermediate Level nuclear wastes 10s of metres below ground in the Drigg area on the fringe of the Lake District National Park. The “vision” from the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and its advisors at the Committee on Radioactive Waste Management would see Intermediate Level Nuclear waste buried in silos in “Near Surface Disposal.”

Sixteen Exploratory boreholes up to 120 metres depth have already been drilled under “permitted development” at the UKs “Low Level Waste Repository” to explore the feasibility of Near Surface Disposal of Intermediate Level wastes. The “Near Surface Disposal” for Intermediate Level Wastes would run “in tandem” with the Geological Disposal plan for High Level Nuclear Wastes. but would be “delivered” far earlier within 10 years. The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority have stated in their 2020 position paper on Near Surface Disposal that “The assessment of disposal costs has been made on the assumption that a nearer- surface disposal facility ..would be co-located with a GDF.” Lakes Against Nuclear Dump say that “Drigg would be the politically expedient choice for co-location given that the community has already been in receipt of decades worth of funding for the ongoing blight caused by hosting the Low Level Waste Repository.”

The L.A.N.D report includes an advert featured in the Cumbria Life magazine of 1993 for the “Sellafield Repository” under the NIREX plan. NIREX was a forerunner of Radioactive Waste Management who are under the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority. The 1993 advert states that NIREX’s Geological Disposal Facility plan was for “Intermediate and some Low Level wastes.”

Lakes Against Nuclear dump say that “In a mission creep operation the vision now is to divert much of the intermediate Level Wastes to Near Surface Disposal thus freeing more space in a GDF for High Level Wastes. The NIREX plan never included High Level Nuclear Wastes. Cumbria is being stitched up big time to accept much more dangerous nuclear dump plans than that rejected by Public Inquiry in 1997. The only way to resist this mission creep is for the members of the so-called Geological Disposal Community Partnership to withdraw now.”

This report draws together our findings to date and been sent to Allerdale and Copeland Borough Councillors.
