U.S. climate envoy John Kerry told a group of attendees Tuesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland that they were part of a ‘select group of human beings’ brought together by an ‘extra-terrestrial’ force to save the plan.

The climate czar opened by thanking Børge Brende, president of the World Economic Forum in Geneva for getting him the ‘best room I ever had here in 35 years.’

Kerry then launched into a diatribe warning attendees that ‘time is running out’ to avoid climate change’s ‘worst consequences.’

Alcohol and Drug-Related Deaths Increased During Pandemic, Contributing to ‘Excess Mortality’ Rates: StatCan

Alcohol-induced deaths during COVID-19 increased by 18 percent from 2019 to 2020—the largest year-over-year change in deaths caused by alcohol in 20 years—while deaths from all causes were also higher than expected, according to new figures released by Statistics Canada (StatCan).

The data, released on Jan. 12, indicate that excess deaths in Canada overall increased significantly through the pandemic, with an estimated 53,741 excess deaths from the end of March 2020 to the end of August 2022—7.6 percent more deaths than expected had there been no pandemic.

In other words pandemic isolation sent vulnerable people over the edge.

Rex Murphy: The green druids gather in Davos for the World Economic Forum

… Up to 5,000 troops have been seconded to guard the illustrious hive of busybody billionaires (roughly two soldiers for every one pretentious plutocrat). Barbed wire around the town, snipers on rooftops, huge armoured vehicles, wickedly-armed and black-helmeted SWAT-type police outside the best hotels and upscale restaurants (the latter offering GG Mary Simon level of cuisine — amuse your bouche) fighter jets overhead, 24 -hour air police — this year’s WEF is more heavily guarded than Joe Biden’s Corvette, or Jeffery Epstein’s still-unproduced client list.

Ottawa’s climate policy will prolong Indigenous poverty

Canada’s latest Environment and Climate Change report to the United Nations, submitted at the end of December, fails Canada’s Indigenous people yet again, consigning us to poverty , wiping out our path to prosperity and blocking our ability to bring traditional knowledge and wisdom to bear on protecting the land. This is only the most recent instance in a long line of failures dating back hundreds of years. Proper consultation with Indigenous people before the report’s submission might have prevented that.

‘Cartel-Style Execution’ Kills 6, Including Baby, In California

At least six people, including a 17-year-old mother and her six-month-old baby, were killed in what California’s Tulare County Sheriff’s Office described to CNN as a “cartel-style execution” early Monday morning.

“While investigators cannot confirm the shooters were from a cartel, the sheriff thinks it appears to be a ‘cartel-style execution,’” CNN reported. “Drug cartels have notoriously engaged in deadly violence, including the deployment of hit squads against perceived enemies and members of law enforcement that threaten their drug trafficking efforts.”

Anatomy of the sinister Covid Project, Part 2

THE name Robert Kadlec may mean nothing to you, but anyone who has watched Stanley Kubrick’s Cold War era satirical masterpiece Dr Strangelove will quickly get the idea of who this man is.

Colonel Kadlec is the General Ripper of the War on Microbes. It is no small irony that the Biodefense Commission that Kadlec set up in 2014 is funded by the Hudson Institute, which was co-founded by Herman Kahn, the Rand Corporation war gamer.  Kahn’s theory that nuclear war could be deterred if the Soviet Union believed the United States had second strike capability was the inspiration for Kubrick’s Dr Strangelove character and the film.

Henry Kissinger: Why I changed my mind about Ukraine

The statesman believes the country should now join NATO

Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger argued on Tuesday that Ukrainian membership of NATO would be “appropriate” after peace has been secured.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum via Zoom, the 99-year-old said that although he was against Ukraine joining NATO before the invasion, it was now a desired outcome. “Before this war I was opposed to the membership of Ukraine in NATO because I feared it would start exactly the process we are seeing now,” he said. But now, “the idea of a neutral Ukraine in these conditions is no longer meaningful.
