And good morning fellow transhumanists.

Here is a lovely start to the day from Neill McRae over at TCW. It looks like he is catching me up.

Good morning, HP!
That’s a good read, thanks for the link. I copied and pasted that long quote and I’ll use it as an ‘alarm clock’ to wake up the odd person here and there.

Morning HP! Architects for Social Housing have been in my bookmarks for a long while now…and are always worth reading. I think it was LS that either put an article on by them, or someone mentioned them in the comments, many months ago…
Either way a good article in TCW, which like DS, is essential reading….

“Why the next wave of feminism is conservative. Louise Perry in the Spectator sees a groundswell of women eager to protect their children from exposure to the harmful agendas of ideologues”. The next wave? We’d have experienced less waves if we were floating in the middle of the Atlantic. Love how this rabid, society-destroying, movement now plan the shape of their next ‘wave’. And society is so much better for it isn’t it? The gradual breakdown of society, triggered by the uncompromising drive to remove differences between the sexes, has had one constant over the decades of decay – feminism. Most women that call themselves feminists do not believe in women being more maternal then men, so why does Louise think this is a female problem? Surely, as men and women are identical, this affects both parents equally? Or are we cherry picking again? Men and women can be different if that difference is required for the latest cause? How about this for a novel idea: why don’t feminists drop the narcissism of perceived female-only problems, embrace the mind-blowing concept of the sexes being equal, but different, acknowledge that both sexes have hardships in life, and stand together (with men)… Read more »

Men & women are complementary to society, equally capable in different ways of protecting what is good about society & equally capable in different ways of screwing up society.

Correct. We just desperately need to recognise that.

And to be clear: I am not criticising women, I am a criticising a subset of women that have spent decades trying to subvert nature under the false banner of “equality” – hard-line feminists, of which there are many. As a society we should strive for equality of opportunity, but cannot expect equality of outcome. The only way for the two to be naturally possible is if men and women are identical. They are not. This is the gaslighting at the root of the bizarre world we find ourselves living in.

It’s not just feminists that claim to expect equality of outcome. It’s happening a lot.

I don’t know any hard-line feminists. I suspect it’s like a lot of these positions – held by a few extremists, manipulated by the unscrupulous and gone along with by the cowardly, lazy, well-meaning majority – after all, who would be against “women’s rights” or “gay rights” or “anti-racism”?

“I am not criticizing women”…You mean when you aren’t calling one “eejit”, “narcissist”, “dim-witted” and then, laughably, “rude”? LOL

Again, you’ve shown your narcissism without being aware of it. Those comments, which you always quote without the context of your abusive, taunting and bullying prior replies, were aimed at you. Just you. Because of you as a person, not because of you being a woman. I know this is difficult for you to understand (because of your narcissistic character, not because you’re female), but you are not all women. Thank God. I have a problem with your character, not your gender, so, nope, there is zero hypocrisy. Oh, and btw, try to understand what an olive branch looks like (see my reply to your earlier post). So you’re also someone who cannot come to terms with someone disagreeing with you – just cannot let it go. Another incredibly weak and narcissistic trait. Look, nobody in these comment sections are remotely interested in our disagreement, so get over the fact that we don’t see eye to eye. This isn’t a place for personal vendettas – save that for the important things going on in the world. I shall not reply to you again, I ask, for the sake of others on here, that you do the same. Remember, this is not… Read more »

So taking exception to somebody insulting me is narcissism is it? I can have a difference of opinion with anybody but you’re the one who feels the need to resort to behaving like a toddler having a tantrum and start with the name-calling. How mature! You’re the one who feels the need to patronize, e.g “address your tone-your posts are very combative”, when actually I’d be the one justified in using that line but I’d never be that condescending towards another poster. You call me names but have the audacity to say I am “rude”?! LOL You’re so naturally two-faced with your double-standards and lack of self-awareness you don’t even recognise it! Arrogant to a ‘T’.
“Olive branch”? What bloody olive branch?? I shall continue to call out your patronizing attitude and your hypocrisy. Get used to it! if I said what I really thought of you I’d get banned so the polite version is this;
You come across as a very self-absorbed, conceited and two-faced person who cannot practice what they preach and can’t bear to be challenged. A thoroughly unpleasant personality all in all.
“Remember, this is not your personal space”. How To Patronize 101. What a pro…LOL

The report about the expansion of a surface lignite colliery in Germany was ironic. It’s true that the development of renewable equipment made a relatively early start over there. As it happens, a couple of items in my house in the UK were made in Germany – a solar thermal control unit, and a PV inverter. However, there is a lot of lignite being burnt for power. It’s the least efficient form of coal available.

PS: They might be better off importing coal from elsewhere, e.g. Russia. Or maybe not. Of course, here in the UK we have imported it from the other side of the ocean. Diidcot A used a lot of Colombian coal over the last couple of decades.

It might be the least efficient form of coal, but it’s a lot better than stupid windmills.

The UK generated just as much electricity via renewables as Germany, ca. 40%.
The UK also uses 2% coal, Germany 40%.
The UK uses gas for generating 40%, Germany only 15%.
As such, the gas for electricity problem is a bigger one for the UK than for Germany, which imports no lignite and whose hard coal imports from Russia can more easily be replaced.
So brownouts shouldn’t be an issue there this winter, in contrast to the UK.
The gas for heating and industrial use problem is another story.
If one doesn’t believe in the ‘climate change through man-made CO2 by burning fossile fuels’ myth, burning coal for electricity was, is and will remain the best answer, as its other pollutants are already filtered out very efficiently.
Sadly, the ‘green’ ideologues will never see and accept that, least and last ze German ones.
Good for coal embracing China though.

At the moment, gas is being used for about 35%, with wind and light for about 61%, wood chips about 1.6%, nuclear 16%, and a fair chunk being exported – over 14% to France. Compared with a few years back, UK nuclear has declined quite a bit, with older stations being decommissioned.

From time to time I look at this site: https://grid.iamkate.com/

I think you’re right about coal being a useful source for electricity generation, especially if they went ahead with techniques like Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS), rather than converting Drax to wood burning, and calling it ‘renewable’ and so on.

You’re right. I’ve seen a few of his interviews now and the data he is sharing is extremely worrying. I’m liable to believe the information based on the expertise of a man 44 years a professional in his field over anything the regulators or Big Pharma have to say on the matter. I should think what he doesn’t know about pregnancy and reproduction isn’t worth knowing. He has the health and welfare of his patients as his priority whereas the aforementioned only prize profit.

https://tobyrogers.substack.com/p/the-monstrous-state-of-things We live in a society dedicated to iatrogenocide:  • A government lab took a virus, made it more lethal, and released it (whether accidentally or on purpose) into the population. • Government with the collusion of the private sector intentionally blocked access to effective medicines. They literally had the medicines already on hand in a national stockpile for exactly this situation and then when the moment came they went to great lengths to keep people from getting them.  • Hospitals used the wrong protocols and continue to use the wrong protocols. That tells us that the best-trained medical professionals are so blinded by ideology that they cannot transcend failed paradigms. • The shots have negative efficacy and the worst side effect profile ever seen. Quintuple-dosed bougiecrats look like sh*te and are dropping dead left and right yet still don’t understand what is happening to them (nor do they want to understand). • The mainstream media has lied to us every single day for the last three years. At this point they are incapable of telling the truth because their business model depends on promoting profitable lies. • Universities and schools require young people in their care to be injected with a… Read more »

These Just Stop Oil nutters are everywhere. I mean, nothing says “take me seriously because I am a well-balanced, intelligent person who’s lift goes to the top floor” like gluing yourself to a priceless piece of art whilst pouring tinned tomatoes over your head! I dearly want to know what becomes of these escaped lunatics after they’ve been removed because they’re not going to stop are they? And I heard about the Van Gogh incident in London and the Monet vs mashed potato in Germany. What is the mental age of these crackpots??

“who’s lift goes to the top floor” – funny. Yep, that’s the glaringly obvious observation that never gets mentioned – these idiots are, almost entirely, physically and mentally children. We may as well be giving headlines to the antics of Dennis the Menace (apologies to anyone who’s not familiar with the Beano). I’m sure most/all of these children will have been brought up with virtually no boundaries – the modern way of parenting it seems – and so cannot properly conceive the idea of consequences.

It’s about time a like for like approach was taken with these bastards. If they glue themselves to anything leave them there. If they are glued to a road unglue them, take them to an industrial park and re-glue them, if they infect a museum leave them glued with a sign around their necks “the collapse of humanity,” – a sort of living, breathing art installation as they piss and shit.

Glue to vehicles – keep them running,as they chose to inconvenience others. “Oh but it’s an underground train.”

Should’ve thought of that.

Climbing buildings? Remove the ropes – for public safety and leave them up there.

Sorted.

Haha spot on! I like the idea of an immersive art experience. Keeping them glued could be a good opportunity to de-radicalize them too. Make them watch videos on a loop showing evidence which demonstrates their belief system is based on nothing but fake, manipulated garbage pseudo-science.

The Malone video/transcript is mostly about explaining the technology and describing and explaining very understandably the approval process and its flaws and deliberate omissions for the goo and the consequences of that going forward.
It’s also almost in whistleblowing territory and in sum a true masterpiece, which should be very helpful and effective in red-pilling people who still believe in the integrity of governments, regulators and scientists.
The ‘CIA is the driver’ angle indeed makes sense, but it is only a small part of the video/transcript and its purpose.

  • The Media Ignored the Parliamentary Debate on Vaccine Safety” – Molly Kingsley writes in Brownstone that questions raised by politicians in this debate – around scale of adverse events, potential breaches of medical ethics and regulatory capture – are serious and should not have been ignored by media organisations that seem unable to handle the vaccine safety narrative in a sensible way.
