Just talked to some surveyors as someone has bought the property on the other side of the power lines. Nice talk. They are working today because it will be cold tomorrow. Also one town resident who remembers when the barn on our neighbor's property still stood, and there was a road back on the hill behind our house, where someone would take a horse and buggy to the field where the power lines now are and harvest hay. 

Nice to hear of the history of where you live.

Hay was the power line of its day, sort of.

Speaking of power:

Alberta wind and solar produced 76 megawatts out of a theoretical 3,005 megawatts at noon on New Year’s Eve, with cold warnings all over the province.

Gosh, If *only* the very Earth were magically filled with some form (or several forms) of highly energy-dense fuel… including in the Earth under Alberta itself…

Have any of you listened to Joe Rogan's podcast with Dr. Robert Malone? It's currently available for free on Spotify. It's three hours long and worth every minute. I'm about two-thirds of the way through and holy Hannah this is terrifying. His analysis of mortality statistics indicates about 500,000 excess deaths in the US alone over IIRC 2020 to mid-2021. Not all of those are Covid deaths, obviously - that would include people whose cancer wasn't discovered and treated promptly, for example - but he strongly implies that withholding treatments like HCQ and Ivermectin is responsible for many of those deaths. He also goes into detail about the coordinated efforts to attack him and other doctors who aren't buying the party line.

Dr. Malone does an incredible job following the money and the network of Big Pharma, public health officials, Zuckerberg Chan, and other "humanitarian" organizations.  He covers the side effects you've heard about, like myocarditis in young men and boys, but he also addressed something I haven't heard about before. One component of the vax that is supposed to remain local at the injection site actually heads straight for a woman's ovaries. Dr. Malone was asked by a Hassidic Rabbinical Council to talk about this because they'd noticed a disruption in the menstrual cycles of women who had been vaccinated. (I'm assuming our Gentile members have a basic understanding of the cleanliness laws and why the rabbis are tracking this.) Naturally this is causing chaos in determining when couples can have sex and they're worried about ongoing fertility issues.

This absolutely floored me. A former co-worker in her 30s mentioned that she was reluctant to take the vax because she hoped to have children in the future. I nodded politely but I thought she must have been listening to some sort of quackery. I feel like I should email her and apologize. Now I'm worried for my daughters and daughter-in-law. DIL is probably done after two babies, but both my daughters want children. I can't imagine how devastated they would be if they couldn't.

Dr. Malone, to his credit, refuses to discuss the motivation for all of this and the attacks on individual medical professionals other than describing the financial incentives. As I was listening, it became obvious what he was not saying. At a very high level - tech billionaires, NGOs, the media, and the highest levels of government around the world that are driving the response - literally want people dead. The same people are behind climate hysteria and everything they promote is to reduce the population. They'll kill you by failing to control disease, they'll starve you to death, they'll let you freeze by banning fossil fuels - whatever it takes. I watched another video that I can't find right now with an African woman who is somehow involved in improving conditions in her country. She asks the obvious question about the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation: why do they fund draconian birth control and abortion instead of helping to improve the material condition of Africans? Why don't they fund improved farming and irrigation techniques or women starting microbusinesses? Bill Gates has been very open for years about his desire for population control. I don't think it's a stretch to believe he and the rest of the big players are deliberately promoting death and infertility under the guise of public health.

Sorry this post is so long but Dr. Malone presents factual information that should scare the shit out of everyone. I have no opinion one way or another about Joe Rogan and I've never listened to his podcast in my life. But he's willing to provide a platform for heterodox opinion and he pisses off all the right people. Coincidentally or not, Dr. Malone's Twitter account was nuked the same day he recorded this podcast. The doctor absolutely knows his shit and he's an excellent communicator. Everyone needs to listen to this podcast.

A hint of sanity...

EU Proposes Green Certificate for Nuclear and Gas Energy

The European Union has drafted a proposal that allows consideration for natural gas and nuclear energy to be included within the scope of “green” investments as countries and environmentalists battle over the complicated classification system.

Later this month, the European Commission is expected to suggest recommendations on the environmental criteria needed in order to classify an energy source as “green” and whether projects can be included within the EU’s “sustainable finance taxonomy.” According to draft conclusions viewed by multiple media outlets, the commission has suggested adding gas and nuclear energy to the green mix, resulting in immediate criticism from some governing political parties and environmental activists.

I had originally dismissed the idea that the CCP deliberately released COVID because the Party leaders would not have released something that could kill them.

By now, we have seen several existing and well-understood medications that were shown to be effective against COVID, only to have that suppressed. I am now seriously considering the deliberate release idea. The CCP would kill even millions if it helped their cause, so deaths in Wuhan? They don't care.  I would not be shocked that the Dems seen partying without masks have all taken ivermectin or other drugs and know they are safe. But Big Tech is collaborating with China. And I think is a lot of the Swamp.

As an article I linked to a couple of weeks ago said, "We are fighting a pathogen from China with a public health policy from China that turns the world into China."

Big Tech has turned the greatest thing for free communication into the most controlled speech mechanism. 

Sure, we could go to other websites - if they don't get shut down (don't use Amazon Web Services!) - but most people just look at Farcebook and Twitter.

I've started looking into Web 3.0, a distributed internet.

At this point I'm intrigued. But a distributed web would be a partial solution to big tech.

Need to go back to Web 1.0. 3.0 just seems to be another way to monetize the web, which has the same problems as 2.0

The problem is centralized sites that control what people see. Even google isn't so bad compared with Facebehind. Get people tied to your walled garden, and control what they see, and you control them.

Another way of monetizing it won't solve the problem, as it still pulls people into walled gardens gulags.
