Lies, Damned Lies, And Green Cost Assertions

Details: Category: Green; Published: 17 May 2024; Hits: 875

It's pretty obvious that the assertions of cheap renewable power are somewhat adrift from reality when such assertions coincide with ever rising fuel bills, despite ever more "renewable" power installations, not to mention opaque subsidy schemes.

Either some middle-man is making a killing between power generation and delivery, or some cherry-picking of the definition of "costs" is involved, or total incompetence, outright fraud, or maybe all four ...

The continuing need for subsidies to make it all compatible with gas-powered generation (itself not exactly becoming any cheaper since the machinations around the Ukraine war), and the somewhat opaque government power pricing scheme that could have been designed to confuse the uninitiated, and one begins to see the scale of the deception.

David Turner (Daily Sceptic) puts it all into the realm of facts and figures for us.

It seems that most of the subsidies go to wind, which seems somehow appropriate, but we are still subsidising the burning of "biomass" - "trees" to normal people (perhaps they don't like to admit it?) which if left undisturbed could have reduced both costs and atmospheric carbon dioxide rather than increased both - I guess it takes a politician to understand how that "works".

Did I mention opaque government pricing?

"It should be noted that FiTs, ROCs and CfDs are all index-linked, so prices will continue to rise with inflation. It is clear our bills are going to continue to rise for the foreseeable future as cheap gas is forced out in favour of expensive renewables"

Did I mention the cherry-picking of figures to claim falling cost of renewables?

Oh, and of course the national grid will need to be remodelled to cope with connecting a vast array of highly dispersed intermittent renewable stations which by their nature will be operating neither reliably nor necessarily predictably, so the grid will have the additional task of shuffling the power to wherever it is actually needed, from whatever direction it may be available:

" ... the National Grid ESO has announced £54 billion of spending on the electricity network infrastructure up to 2030 and a further £58 billion in the 2030-2035 period, a total of £112 billion, or over £10 billion per year for more than a decade"

Naturally neither this nor the need to build excessive generation redundancy to mitigate intermittency / unpredictability is nothing to do with the "costs of renewables" even though in a gas-powered grid only a fraction of this work overall would be necessary.

Read the whole miserable story.

The Most Important Question in the Universe ...

The most important question in the universe ... is also the most annoying when repetitively asked by small children!

"Mummy, why did that man tell me to cycle in the road?"

"Because he's a policeman and you are not supposed to cycle on the pavement dear"

"Mummy, why am I not supposed to cycle on the pavement?"

"Because it's against the law dear"

"Mummy, why is it against the law?"

...

OK, enough of that, you get the picture. Children instinctively understand that the "Why" is important.

Perhaps that tells us something?

But when people in big organisations ask themselves the "Why" question and don't get any satisfactory answer, maybe it's time to reconsider what those organisations are all about ... and even to walk away.

Come the Revolution, What to Do and How to Do It?

Details: Category: Free Citizen; Published: 15 May 2024; Hits: 1093

2024-05-15

Martin Geddes has been contemplating the incoming Greater Reset.

Well, it is abundantly clear that somebody needs to, and would we trust the current incumbents at Westminster anywhere near the fabled levers of power ever again? It's a reasonable expectation that many of the extant people posing as authorities will be removed as being part of the problem, so cannot preside over the solution.

My first comment is that since the US military seems to have us all under (so far undeclared) martial law, the initial take-down of the criminal elements of the establishment must be conducted by the military themselves in accordance with the military laws in effect.

Why are we in the UK talking about the US military?

Because this revolution is not local to the UK, it is global against the global mafia, and the US military is taking the lead because ... well it's a long story. Where have you been these past years?

Martial law will rightly or wrongly but necessarily preclude any argument over niceties. It will be what it will be, and subsequent argument and heart-searching will be fruitless and largely preempted.

Will the French reintroduce Madame Guillotine, and the British the Halifax Gibbet, or even King Henry's axe?

Probably the Laws of War Manual doesn't leave such latitude as to the form of dispatch, and just as well. Whilst executions must be witnessed ("justice must be seen to be done") they should never be public entertainment.

That said, the inescapable consequences of decades of treason and manipulation will take time to unwind. There are rafts of issues arising around which many will have divergent opinions, high among them being non-native additions to our population. The UK has a reasonable track record of success in assimilating immigrants over the centuries, but that ability has been ever more stretched by a highly suspect mismatch between declared immigration policy and actual immigration action (especially since "Brexit") and by no means only in the UK.

It's of no use to blame the immigrants (unless they actually conspired with a UK authority for an illegal purpose), but mass deportation seems like a draconian "solution", in the round likely to do as much harm as good. We probably don't even know who or where they are!

Following the shock of the new, the military will need to hand power back to a civilian administration - but since it was the old authorities that got us into this mess, we will have to invent new authorities public services, responsive primarily to the people and Constitution, before that can happen. The old discredited and corrupt model of Monarch-Parliament-Civil-Service-Statute-Book-Judiciary-Oligarchy cannot be left untouched, but must be simplified and made directly both accountable and responsive. This will be very unfamiliar territory for most.

For it to happen, "We the People" will need to step up to defend our interests. After many years of leaving these in the hands of the ruling political classes, that will involve a very steep learning curve, and I predict an extended period of military rule incoming.

All that said, back to Martin Geddes, who offers both a ramble through the consequences of the revolution:

The calculus of consequences

and a review of how we got here and how the revolution may unfold - this isn't all his own work, but is based on a piece from "X":

"I wish to highlight one account on X that is making very bold assertions — PeckerwQQd — and summarise what is being said"

Keep smiling: the end of corruption in Britain

Quite so. I note Martin's reservations!

I would guess that there will be as many views on this as there are people in the UK, and some of it does seem impracticably draconian to me, but as a starting position that gets the discussion going it's probably both necessary and adequate.

"It's your view that counts"!

The Great Reset is Taking Shape ...

It was either going to be the New World Top-Down Order of the Blair - Cameron - May - Boris - Bush - Obama - Clintons - Kissinger - Schwab - Rockefellers - Rothschilds brigade of Khazarian Zionists and Eugenicists, or it would be the opposite, an expertly crafted and skilfully engineered demolition, on behalf of the freedom of the people, of the centralized power structures of those self-appointed global elites who thought that they would rule the world - AKA the global corporate oligarchs (Club of Rome, Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg Group, World Economic Forum (now "in partnership" with the United Nations) the list goes on ... ).

How were these centralized power structures built in a world of democratic governments? By ancient secret societies and modern secret services of the world who, whilst nominally under government control, were in practice laws unto themselves, and took full advantage of secrecy to coerce those in government and anybody else in positions of influence (it may be no coincidence that media empires are owned by Israeli nationals) to do their bidding.

It is in fact no secret that the Mossad of Israel, the CIA of the USA, MI6 and other members of the "Five Eyes" have been working together "for our security" for years. One might almost believe that the Mossad rules the world.

But how could these groupings control elected governments?

By any means legal and lawful, or illegal or unlawful - if they control key authorities in the judicial system and - say - the electoral systems and news media (not to mention financial institutions and politicians of all parties), then all events and individuals could be manipulated, alongside public opinion.

The repetition of propaganda by the media has a long history, and not just in Nazi Germany.

How could such a manipulation be possible?

Consider a hypothetical example: when Britain was struggling to shadow the Euro via the Exchange Rate Mechanism in the 1990s; how did George Soros manage to short the pound to the extent that he suddenly acquired a vast fortune (becoming known in the process as the "man who broke the Bank of England") when we somehow "fell out" of the ERM on "Black Wednesday" 1992? A fortune which no doubt was subsequently of great benefit to his Open Society Foundations, which went on from strength to strength to influence (some suspect manipulate) various official bodies in Europe and elsewhere?

One may surmise that this could have been done by less than a handful of people in key positions (although I can't comment on that). Who lost out? the taxpayer, the man (or woman) on the Clapham omnibus.

I have no information, but the enquiring mind might well ask whether this was a deliberate manipulation.

So how might the downfall of such a criminal oligarchical cabal be brought about? By bankruptcies (follow the money), and by re-education of the people to reassume control over their own futures in a world of peace.

Who would be in a position to do this? Whilst this is still to be revealed (should a formal reveal ever actually occur), the supposition is that a shadowy grouping of patriots in support of the US Constitution (which the US military is sworn to uphold) might be responsible. Perhaps it takes one clandestine group to stalk and catch another? I note (make of it what you will) that Trump has experience in bankruptcy ... and diplomacy ...

This grouping too is supposedly a long time in the preparation for these last days of the ancien regime.

As well as sections of the US military, it supposedly also includes the "Q" phenomenon which some think had its origins in US Naval Intelligence (and others think may go right back as far as President Lincoln). Or it might just be another psy-op ...

Clif High (is there anything this man hasn't dabbled in / researched?!) believes that there exists what amounts to a self-organising collective (SOC) of individuals not in any formal organisation (or at least without anything more than a central tiny core of key members as an organised group). It seems to me that this would include (but not be limited to) the followers of "Q" and the associated ANONS on social media that spread the word that the mainstream media will not touch, and indeed that the likes of the BBC's fearless Disinformation Unit do their best to smear and decry as peddlers of mis/dis/malinformation.

But it's also pretty clear that this SOC needs support from high places in order to perform its function of identifying the message and getting it out to the people. It's also clear that it's up to the reader to identify who is part of the SOC and who a part of the anti-SOC - this too is part of the general purpose of re-education of the people - we must learn to make our own judgements rather than to rely on "authorities". For instance, is Elon Musk SOC or Anti-SOC? Many personalities both main-stream and social-media seem to run with feet in both camps at different times ...

As Socrates may have said: "The only thing I know is that I know nothing". As the allegedly Chinese curse is supposed to declaim: "May we live in 'interesting' times" !

But as Jesus is helpfully reported to have said: "by their fruits shall ye know them" (Matthew 7:16-20)

But the most promising news is how the great hoaxes are collapsing under the weight of their own contradictions -

Nobody wants electric vehicles any more.

My old post war Latin master used to drive a red Morgan three wheeler known affectionately as his "fire engine". EVs are becoming known as such for much more serious reasons, as well as lesser problems such as range anxiety, recharge times and associated connection difficulties, not to mention poor resale values and rising insurance costs. So EVs from China are piling up unsold around the world and motor manufacturers are telling their governments that if they don't delay (= "remove") the ban on fossil fuelled vehicles soon, they won't have any motor manufacturing left.

Not to mention that the "renewables" that are getting "less costly every year" are now so cheap that electricity bills are through the roof in spite of all the subsidies (more scams?).

The Covid scam is finally making Big Pharma very uncomfortable as the news of "adverse events" trickles out past the mainstream media, and people begin to understand the real effects of the jabs - even that some very highly respected people are (holy cow!) questioning whether "viruses" even exist, or whether virology itself is ... might be ... just another scam?

This site has long maintained that given that the Covid pandemic was 100% reliant on an unreliable PCR test that gave a high percentage (always unquantified and unmentioned) of false positive results, that there were no significant levels of excess deaths reported in the statistics until the jabs roll-out began (despite heroic misattribution of all other manner of deaths to Covid on the basis of the fake test); followed by truly heroic attempts to cement the notion of an infectious malignant virus being deliberately created at the Wuhan Institute of Virology by nefarious agencies under Dr Fauci; these latter could have had one specific purpose only - to persuade the people to look at the terrible mad scientists that created this supposed plague (that being faked didn't actually kill anyone), rather than to make the less obvious deduction that the virus was a hoax, and maybe virology itself was a hoax, a hoax designed to feed Big Pharma off our "sicknesses" (AKA "side-effects") for ever?

Still circumstantial, but would you bet against it, and in which direction is the tide of information now flowing?

"Q" has long maintained that "the only way is the military". To do what? To round up the criminals who betrayed the public's trust - politicians, lawyers, police, civil servants, press and media, the list is enormous, and such an operation would be gigantic, unprecedented in all of history.

It would also need to be global in reach, because the crimes were global in nature.

Of course the public would never stand for such an operation if they didn't realise that those being arrested were indeed guilty of high crimes and misdemeanours, such as treason against the people, whose interests they were supposed to serve. Hence the need to show the public, to educate them as to the crimes that had been committed. It needed to be a lived experience with unmistakable impact.

Many of these crimes were very obvious - injecting untested and therefore unsafe experimental medical products into anybody without their fully informed consent has been a globally recognised crime ever since the post-war Nuremberg Trials took place, yet somehow the entire world seemed to overlook this most basic legal principle. To try to inject the whole world in this manner surely qualifies as attempted genocide?

To inject children in like manner who according to the statistics were never at any serious risk from the supposed disease indicates total disregard for health and safety, and criminal culpability of the highest order.

But much water had flowed beneath the bridge (and much propaganda had polluted our press and media) since Nuremberg, and we the people had grown lazy, docile, and confused. We were assaulted by psychological operations generated at the highest levels of government designed specifically to scare us into compliance. The majority who had trusted the authorities to look after their interests were taken by surprise, and lacked a coherent ability to push back.

We needed to be reminded of the law, and to relearn to think matters through for ourselves, before arrests could be successfully accomplished and revealed to the people. To our shame, this has taken four years to date.

But Those speaking out are now gaining traction.

If we haven't been paying attention, perhaps the time to do so is now.
