In an earlier post, I questioned whether electric cars are really going to save the environment. Specifically, I questioned whether their overall carbon footprint was any less than that of an efficient gas-powered car. The question is complex, however, and I ran out of energy after a couple of paragraphs. Thus I entitled the piece Will Electric Vehicles Curb Global Carbon Emissions? Perhaps Not. Part 1 intending to return to the subject at a later date when my energy level was sufficient for the necessary research.
Today I embarked on that task but soon became enervated by the effort to assimilate a mass of information about embodied energy per vehicle versus propulsion system, vehicle mass, location of manufacture; energy cost of highway infrastructure; and much else besides. Thus, before reaching the point of total inanition, I paused for reflection, and came to the conclusion that the issue of electric cars and carbon emissions could be argued all ways indefinitely without definite conclusion.

Scotch Nationalism: A Tool for the Destruction of the British Nation
Craig Murray, fired former UK ambassador to Uzbekistan, is a relentless promoter of Scotch Nationalism. He wants to see Scotland ripped from the United Kingdom despite the fact that the Scots voted against independence in the the 2014 referendum.
But, in reality, Murray does not want independence for Scotland. Quite the contrary: he wants the incorporation of Scotland within the EU, but separate from Britain. In other words, instead of being 10% of the British nation, Murray wants the Scots to be one percent of the people of the emerging European superstate.

Trump Hates Fake News: The Media Are Supposed to Trumpet Government Lies, Not Make Up Their Own Stuff
The Government of Syria appears at the brink of victory over US covertly-backed terrorists operating under the ISIS and other logos. For President Trump, a self-declared "most militaristic person," this a disaster since without a fake war against US-backed terrorists, the US has no justification for "bombing the shit out of" Damascus and sundry other parts of Syria.
What after all is the point of having all those very expensive planes, rockets, drones, aircraft carriers and all their super white phosphorus, napalm, bunker busters, mini-nukes and anti-personal weapons if you cannot bomb the shit out of anyone you goddam well please. And anyhow, Trump's Israeli friends demand he bomb the shit out of Syria now.
So what to do?

Climate Alarmists Admit They Were Wrong — Sort Of
Below is the abstract of a paper by Michael Mann of Hockey-Stick Graph infamy, and others among the usual climate alarmist jet-setting suspects admitting that global warming really has paused for the last 17 years and that the climate models that predicted rapid warming during the early years of the present century are almost certainly wrong, not just in detail, but well, just wrong.

Is the Evidence for Climate Warming Incorrect?
As top climate scientists such as Al Gore never tire of reminding us, the "scientific consensus" on climate change is that the world is warming at an alarming rate, with the temperature having increased by six tenths of a degree Celsius since 1980.
However, Professor Fred Singer, who received the US Gold Medal Award for Distinguished Federal Service and who designed the satellite-borne instrument by which the temperature of the lower atmosphere has been monitored for decades, argues in a recent blog post that the reported climate warming of the past 37 years may be, if not fake, at least not real.

Making Holocaust Studies a Mandatory Part of the School Curriculum
Scotland's Sunday Herald newspaper reports that teachers in Scotland demand that Holocaust studies be made a mandatory part of the school curriculum. Members of the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) teaching union said the Holocaust was so important it should be embedded in the Curriculum for Excellence.
All right-thinking individuals should support this plan, which should be adopted throughout the Western world, and accordingly, I have added the following plank to my Anti-Treason Party platform:
Holocaust studies will be mandatory at every level in every school. This program will include the history of genocide, from the biblical account of the Jewish genocide of the Canaanites to the ethnic cleansing of Palestine by the Jewish state of Israel.

The Anti-Treason Party Platform
The Irish Savant ends another painfully acute comment on the state of the British nation with the words:
"Britain's traitors have done their work well."
Which prompts me to offer the following platform for the Anti-Treason Party.

Real Americans Question 9/11
By Kevin Ryan
When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. The US Declaration of IndependenceThese days it’s difficult to remember what values the American people share. That’s because the U.S. government does so many things that seem to contradict basic human values. Wars of aggression, torture, kidnapping and indefinite detention, warrantless wiretapping, and other oppressions have become standard operational procedure for the U.S. government. Those who recognize and seek to correct this system of abuse soon realize that the key to doing so is to reveal the truth behind the primary driver for all of them—the crimes of 9/11.

May Fucks Up So Britain Now Dominated By a Triumvirate of Women, May, Arlene Foster of the DUP, and Ruth Davidson of the Scotch Tories — the Three of Them Urged On to Trash the UK's National Independence by Nicola Sturgeon of the Scotch Nats, and Refugee Rapist-Friend, Frau Merkel
America has been spared, thus far, the horror of the first female President in the shape of a psychopathic Hillary Clinton. But the United Kingdom looks set for a rapid flush down the tubes under the female triumvirate of silly, Islamist's friend, Prime Minister May, Ulster's DUP leader Arlene Foster, and Leader of the Scotch Conservatives, Ruth Davidson, none of whom appear interested in national sovereignty, but rather prefer to live under the anti-democratic EU with its mandate for endless mass replacement immigration.
That the emergence of women in government leads to national suicide is, in fact, exactly what the science of evolutionary biology predicts. Thus, as Satoshi Kanazawa, of the Interdisciplinary Institute of Management at the London School of Economics and Political Science writes in a paper entitled: The Evolutionary Psychology Perspective on War, Conquest, and Alien Rule:

Visualizing American's $20 Trillion-Dollar National Debt
Or why your hard-earned cash don't buy what it used to:
And global debt, at $200 trillion, is ten times US Government debt.
How's the debt created?
Simple. Banks print their own money and lend it at interest. And if there's a crash and the debts unpayable, Central Banks print more money to bail out the commercial banks.
Simple really. I mean, simple to transfer wealth from common folks, the useless working class the elite wish to be shot of, to the bankers's own pockets.

Why Global Governance Means the Death of Democracy
The following is an essay by the English philosopher Roger Scruton. It points to the impossibility of democracy without a territorial, or national base. This is an argument that should compel any democrat to oppose the drive for global governance via trade deals such as the WTO, NAFTA, TPP, etc. that are negotiated behind closed doors among bureaucrats, bankers and representatives of global corporations; trans-national political unions such as the EU; and global organizations such as the UN and its many corrupt agencies. That is not to say the that people of the world should not work together to achieve mutual security or solve mutual problems, but only that every nation should be sovereign, able to decide for itself what agreements it will enter into, and what internal social and religious arrangements it will tolerate or promote.
By Roger Scruton
Wall Street Journal, June 2, 2017: There is a respectable opinion among educated people that nations are no longer relevant. Their reasoning runs roughly as follows:
By Roger Scruton
Wall Street Journal, June 2, 2017: There is a respectable opinion among educated people that nations are no longer relevant. Their reasoning runs roughly as follows:
We live in an interconnected world. Globalization and the internet have created new networks of belonging and new forms of social trust, by which borders are erased and old attachments vaporized. Yes, we have seen the growth of nationalism in Europe, the Brexit vote in the U.K. and the election of the populist Donald Trump, but these are signs of reactionary sentiments that we should all have outgrown.The argument is a powerful one and was highly influential among those who voted in the U.K. referendum to remain in the European Union. But it overlooks the most important fact, which is that democratic politics requires a demos. Democracy means rule by the people and requires us to know who the people are, what unites them and how they can form a government.
The nation-state was useful while it lasted and gave us a handle on our social and political obligations. But it was dangerous too, when inflamed against real or imaginary enemies. In any case, the nation-state belongs in the past, to a society in which family, job, religion and way of life stay put in a single place and are insulated against global developments. Our world is no longer like that, and we must change in step with it if we wish to belong.

Enjoy: Before Justin Trudeau's Liberal Government Makes It Illegal to State the Truth
Muslim groups are said to be unhappy about this Indianapolis billboard outlining the career of the Prophet.
For now, Canadians can learn from it something about Mohammed before Justin Trudeau's government empowers the "truthophobes" for the destruction of Western civilization.

Theresa May Reads England's Suicide Note: "Enough Is Enough"
Responding to multiple terrorist atrocities in London yesterday, Prime Minister Theresa May stated in that lovely Awxfud accent:
Or was it England's suicide note she was reading out?
With a rapidly shrinking lead in the opinion polls, May might as well have urged people to vote Labour in Next week's election, which
is to say the party headed by Come-to-Britain Corbyn. Corbyn will welcome an increased flood of migrants to Britain: migrants, who, whether intent on cutting English throats or merely occupying the land, will replace the increasingly sterile English as a racial and cultural entity in the homeland that they have occupied since the end of the last ice age.
Britain's ruling elite — left, right and center, have conspired against the people in what amounts to:
In her response to the atrocities carried out by Muslim terrorists in London this weekend, Theresa May confirmed that she is either a moron or an accomplice in the destruction of England. Following the London Bridge attack, she had the opportunity to show leadership, but instead demonstrated flaccid stupidity and worse.
What she should have done was to invoke emergency powers, round up the 23,000 jihadis and 3,000 potential terrorists that the security services say are present in Britain, and deport every damn one of them.
Instead, she took the opportunity to impose restrictions not on terrorists but on freedom of speech, announcing the internet must now be regulated."
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
A whimper of “enough is a enough” from a limp rag from Awxfud, source of that treasonous limp rag, her predecessor, David Cameron.

"Enough is enough"And, hey, that'll surely stop the bastards, what!
Or was it England's suicide note she was reading out?
Sadiq Kahn, Muslim Mayor of Londonistan, Britain's largest foreign-majority city. Kahn received a 150,000 pound donation from Farouq Sheikh, who wants every Muslim to be a terrorist. He should give the money back and apologize for accepting it. But don't hold your breath. |
Britain's ruling elite — left, right and center, have conspired against the people in what amounts to:
a coordinated plan for the destruction of the essential foundations of the life of [the] national group so that [it]wither[s] and die[s] like [a] plant that has suffered a blight. The end may be accomplished by the forced disintegration of political and social institutions, of the culture of the people, of their language, their national feelings and their religion. It may be accomplished by wiping out all basis of personal security, liberty, health and dignity. ...Genocide is directed against a national group as an entity and the attack on individuals is only secondary to the annihilation of the national group to which they belong...That was the definition given by the Polish Jew and legal scholar, Raphael Lemkin, when he coined the term "genocide."

Europe’s Demographic Suicide
By David Martin
Anyone following world events knows that most of the countries of Europe are staring a major demographic problem in the face. Most have low and declining birth rates and they are being swamped by immigrants, a large percentage of whom are refugees from wars and chaos in the Middle East and North Africa, which, in turn resulted from the military action of the United States and its European allies. This war-induced immigration and Europe’s low birth rate are the twin elements of what one might call Europe’s looming demographic disaster, and because the war policies have by-and-large been supported by Europe’s leaders and because many of those same leaders, with Germany’s Angela Merkel in the forefront, have welcomed the resulting refugees with open arms, the “demographic suicide” charge might well apply to both elements. Because the largely Muslim immigrants typically have a much higher birth rate than do the natives of Europe and because they are particularly hard to assimilate, the immigration element might well be the stronger of the contributors to Europe’s “demographic suicide.”
