The Myth of End of Oil and Regime Change

“Let’s not politicize oil!” How many times have you heard that admonition?

It was first coined in the late 19th century, when oil was beginning to emerge as the key lubricant of a modern industrial society. Having started as a new venture by private entrepreneurs, what took shape as the oil industry soon attracted the attention of all major industrial nations. By the early 20th century most of them had set up their national, that is to say state-owned, oil companies, thus making oil political while insisting that it shouldn’t be politicized. (The US alone didn’t and still doesn’t have a state-owned oil company.) From the start, the biography of oil has included another theme: fear of the world running out of oil. In the 1930s a report prepared for the British admiralty warned that oil may become “a scarce resource” within a couple of decades.

The Power-Mad Utopians

America needs a broad popular front to stop the revolution from above that is transforming the country

“… To say that these were utopian projects does not imply that they did not address genuine problems. For example, following 9/11, Washington had to respond to the transnational terrorist threat. But the U.S. did not have to topple Saddam Hussein and Moammar Gadhafi, nor remain in Afghanistan for two decades after al-Qaida’s local base was disrupted. Preventing terrorist attacks on the U.S. did not require President George W. Bush to declare in his second inaugural address that all nondemocratic regimes everywhere must be subverted and overthrown and that “it is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world.” This was utopianism at its most deranged and dangerous.”

The New Collectivism of Big Government Elites

They now seek to control all of society, not just the economy.

The primary fault line in our current political climate is that between a belief system rooted in law and policy championing the primacy of the individual and the various isms seeking societal advancement through collective action. This contest appears in political issues ranging from education to fiscal policy to sociocultural matters.

Inside the hypocrisy of media manipulators, censors who claim to fight misinformation

There is a new scourge befouling the media landscape, one that our self-appointed mandarins have declared themselves eager to combat: misinformation.

The Aspen Institute’s Commission on Information Disorder recently released a report that blamed misinformation for a range of social problems: “Information disorder is a crisis that exacerbates all other crises . . . Information disorder makes any health crisis more deadly. It slows down our response time on climate change. It undermines democracy. It creates a culture in which racist, ethnic, and gender attacks are seen as solutions, not problems. Today, mis- and disinformation have become a force multiplier for exacerbating our worst problems as a society. Hundreds of millions of people pay the price, every single day, for a world disordered by lies.”

Leftist ‘Journalists’ Float the Idea That Criticizing Joe Biden Is a Danger to Democracy

The Leftist political and media elites are desperately afraid of Donald Trump, even more than they were when they relentlessly defamed him and tried to run him out of office with a hoax collusion conspiracy and a tempest in a teapot over a routine phone call. A Trump return to the White House on January 20, 2025, would represent a massive repudiation of those who have arrogated to themselves the authority to tell us what to think, and those self-appointed intellectual and moral superiors are doing everything they can think of to try to preserve their crumbling hegemony.

I’m afraid to ask what Stelter has been up to.

Little people, you WILL believe in Net Zero

THE Behavioural Insights Team (BIT) have a busy remainder of the year ahead of them. The government’s ‘Nudge Unit’, whose chief executive Professor David Halpern and director Hugo Harper sit on Sage sub-group SPI-B, are about to embark on a psyops campaign to manipulate the populace into decarbonising their lifestyles: a project to run concurrent with their autumn and winter attack on ‘potential superspreaders’ – the unvaccinated people earmarked for blame for the re-introduction of any public health interventions in the coming months.

Their latest report titled ‘The Power of TV: Nudging Viewers to Decarbonise their Lifestyles’ (November 1, available to download here) marks the beginning of the part-Cabinet-Office-owned group’s attempt to begin prodding the nation toward the mirage of Net Zero, changing how they travel, what they eat, and how they power and heat their homes.

The “Let’s Go, Brandon!” Freakout Goes Next-Level

Put on your irony helmet, this is going to be a long ride.

When Men Are Crowned First Place In Female Beauty Pageants, You Know Elites Think You’re Stupid Cattle

Enriquez’s victory is not shocking given the cultural moment we find ourselves in, but the minute it becomes normalized by the public is when our republic gets laid to rest.

A man who thinks he is a female just struck gold in a statewide beauty pageant. If this isn’t offputting to you, the West’s morally bankrupt elites have succeeded in training you to reject truth.

There’s nothing radical about subversive art anymore

The Fourth Plinth shortlist shows a cultural elite at a creative dead end

Trafalgar Square’s Fourth Plinth, currently adorned with a sculpture of ice cream, is now ready for its next bold, thought-provoking display of public art. Last week, freshly-reelected Mayor of London Sadiq Khan shared the shortlist for the new piece, encouraging the public to “cast a vote” for their favourite artist. Boasting a cosmopolitan lineup of creators from “America, Germany, Ghana, Mexico”, the representative works include a “jewellery tree” covered in assorted junk — coffee cups, crushed beer cans, and the medals of Lord Nelson. Another piece, proposed by Teresa Margolles, features the “casts of the faces of 850 trans people, most of whom are sex workers”.

American Exodus – Don’t wait for the oligarchy to let you in. Just walk away.

…Today, the oligarchy that controls American society’s commanding heights leaves those who are neither its members nor its clients little choice but to marshal their forces for their own exodus. The federal government, the governments of states and localities run by the Democratic Party, along with the major corporations, the educational establishment, and the news media set strict but movable boundaries about what they may or may not say—on pain of being cast out, isolated from society’s mainstream. Using an ever-shifting variety of urgent excuses, which range from the coronavirus, to the threat of domestic terrorism, to catastrophic climate change, to the evils of racism, they issue edicts that they enforce through anti-democratic means—from social pressure and threats, to corporate censorship of digital platforms, to bureaucratic fiat. Nobody voted for this.

Hollywood and media workers cut vaccine line, causing clinic closure: Health officials

Pasadena, California, officials canceled a coronavirus vaccine clinic after hundreds of ineligible media and Hollywood workers signed up for appointments, they said.

Elderly residents and local workers were jumped over by around 900 appointment slots as media workers who did not yet qualify for the vaccine left only 600 empty slots open for eligible vaccine recipients, the Pasadena Public Health Department said Tuesday.
