The seas, lakes and oceans are now pluming deadly hydrogen sulfide and suffocating methane. Hydrogen sulfide is a highly toxic water-soluble heavier-than-air gas and will accumulate in low-lying areas. Methane is slightly more buoyant than normal air and so will be all around, but will tend to contaminate our atmosphere from the top down. These gases are sickening and killing oxygen-using life all around the world, including human life, as our atmosphere is increasingly poisoned. Because both gases are highly flammable and because our entire civilization is built around fire and flammable fuels, this is leading to more fires and explosions. This is an extinction level event and will likely decimate both the biosphere and human population and it is debatable whether humankind can survive this event.
A. More fires and more explosions, especially along the coasts, but everywhere generally.
B. Many more animal die-offs, of all kinds, and especially oceanic species.
C. More multiples of people will be found dead in their homes, as if they'd dropped dead.
D. More corpses found in low-lying areas, all over the world.
E. More unusual vehicular accidents.
F. Improved unemployment numbers as people die off.

https://www.fasterthanexpected.com/2021/01/18/human-fingerprint-covers-global-heating-seen-from-before-industrial-era-to-today-research-says/
A “human fingerprint” covers the global temperature rise seen from before the industrial era to today, new research has found.
From pre-industrial times to near present day, worldwide temperatures increased by about 1.1C, according to the research.
The study says that, over that period, greenhouse gases released by humans caused global temperatures to go up by between 1.2 and 1.9C.
But at the same time, air pollution from humans had a net cooling effect, causing temperatures to decrease by between 0.1 and 0.7C, the study says.
“[The findings show that] humans have already had a very substantial impact on global temperatures, which would have been even larger without the offsetting effects of aerosols.”
“Approximately one-quarter of the greenhouse gas-induced warming has been offset by cooling due to aerosols,” said Dr Gillett. [more]

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.: Are all the vaccine deaths a coincidence?
https://www.sott.net/article/447503-Robert-F-Kennedy-Jr-Are-all-the-vaccine-deaths-a-coincidence
The existence of the placebo group makes it difficult to conceal or misattribute injuries. Conversely, the absence of a placebo group in post-vaccination surveillance systems makes it easy for self-interested pharmaceutical and regulatory officials to undercount injuries by attributing them to coincidence.
These simple declarations — that deaths and injuries following vaccination are unrelated coincidences — are becoming a pattern. Portugal's Health Authority dismissed her death as a sad coincidence.
Israeli health officials warned the public not to attribute the deaths to the vaccine.
In Lucerne, Switzerland, a 91-year-old man died five days after getting Pfizer/BioNtech's vaccine. Swiss authorities called any connection "highly unlikely.
On January 3, Dr. Gregory Michael, a beloved Miami obstetrician and enthusiastic COVID-19 vaccine booster, died of a hemorrhagic stroke after receiving Pfizer/BioNtech's vaccine. Dr. Michael developed acute idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP) — a known vaccine side effect — immediately after receiving the jab. His platelet count dropped from 150,000 to zero and never rebounded.
Nevertheless, Pfizer dismissed Michael's injuries as another sad coincidence
This week an Auburn, New York nursing home reported, without any apparent irony, that 32 of 193 residents have died since the facility began administering the Pfizer vaccine on Dec. 21. The company claims that its clients are dying of COVID-19 infections, not the vaccine. [more; yep, never their fault]

MEDIA SYCOPHANCY: ..."Like extensions of Joe Biden's arms embracing America"
Not even North Korean TV would say this. Just listen
https://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2021/01/media-sychophancy-like-extensions-of.html
This is a picture that encapsulates everything wrong with post-Trump America. Symbols of America but no Americans. [see pics]
Today is the day Trump supporters can finally grow up. He wasn’t Orange Jesus sent to save America from itself. There was never a plan.
Trump was just a guy in over his head doing something no President did since Calvin Coolidge, giving a shit about what America means for Americans.
That’s why he had to be destroyed and that’s why we ultimately have to put him behind us.
As the U.S. sinks and what’s left of the legal protections we’ve enjoyed are taken away under the guise of ‘domestic terrorism’ we are also, strangely, free.
That’s why I’m ecstatic a man more fit for Andrew Cuomo’s COVID Death Parlors is president today rather than Trump.
Everyone’s eyes are now open. A fungus is president.
Absent the false hope of Trump people are now free to conclude what I always have — politics got us into this, politics will not get us out.
We can finally put the childish Red vs. Blue behind us.
That false duality is gone. The GOP is dead. The Democrats are ready to knife each other climbing to the pinnacle. They both hate us.
The Capitol knows it is under siege, not from right-wing militias and neo-Nazis but from their own fear of our not feeling anything for them anymore…

Your Sigh Of Relief Is Grounded In Delusion: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix
https://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2021/01/caitlin-johnston-notes-from-edge-of.html
Ahh at long last America is returning to normality: the hub of a globe-spanning empire which rings the planet with military bases and destroys any nation which disobeys it while propagandizing the entire world into supporting its murderousness, without rude tweets.
Biden's inauguration will be a huge relief for people who aren't actually affected by US government policy.
Americans want to believe Trump was uniquely evil among recent presidents because they want to believe their government will become significantly less evil when he leaves. This is delusional and harmful.
The only way to find Trump's presidency remarkably awful is to (A) greatly diminish the scale of Bush and Obama's crimes and (B) believe foreign lives don't matter. Saying Trump was the worst president, even since the turn of this century, is saying that you're a shitty person.
Trump was a US president of fairly average depravity surrounded by an ocean of influential narrative managers LARPing about treason and sedition for four years
So many Trumpers told me he'd free Assange. They were 100% certain Trump was going to get re-elected, drain the swamp, end the wars, and free Assange. He did none of these things. If this is you, please overhaul your worldview and drastically change your media consumption habits.
Arguing that Trump wanted to pardon Assange but Republicans threatened him is just saying Trump wanted to fight the establishment but the establishment told him no.
It's so crazy how the State Department has been led by a man who is even more evil and disgusting than Trump, and now that man is leaving office without the mass media having given him any critical attention at all.
I haven't yet figured out how so many Americans manage the cognitive balance of simultaneously (A) thinking their country is the center of the universe and (B) thinking it odd that foreigners would have opinions about their country.
Super excited for America to finally get rid of its racist corrupt right-wing asshole of a president, hopefully by sometime in the next four to eight years. [more]

Situation Update, Jan 20th – Day of Reckoning: Will the republic DIE or be REBORN?
ReplyDeletehttps://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2021/01/report-from-mike-adams-20-january-2020.html
(Natural News) As America watched, a decrepit, mentally incompetent Joe Biden was “sworn in” today, with almost no members of the public in attendance, but with Biden surrounded by now a reported 65,000 troops, just like you’d see in a Third World dictatorship.
In truth, Biden wasn’t sworn into anything. The election was illegal, unconstitutional and fraught with deliberate malfeasance. The theft of the election renders the Biden regime null and void, carrying no legal weight whatsoever.
Everything the Biden regime attempts to do from this day forward isn’t rooted in law; it’s rooted in coercion. Rule by brute force, in other words. Gunpoint enforcement by a brutal, authoritarian regime that can only browbeat the population into submission through intense censorship, false flag operations and relentless media propaganda.
That’s why this isn’t over. Biden has no legitimacy, and the proof of election fraud still exists in abundance. It’s recorded in the ballots themselves, which must be saved for 22 months according to federal law. Any honest assessment of the ballots would reveal the Biden election theft, and legal efforts are still under way to reveal the truth. [more]

The whole 'election was stolen' schtick is getting old. The news organizations that pushed the whole 'Dominion hacking' thing have all withdrawn what they said and admitted that was a nothing-burger.
ReplyDeleteBut this is a nation of laws. Dominion is suing the people in court who defamed their business and cost their employees jobs. If Fox or OAN had evidence for what they had said, they'd go to court. Did they do that? Hell no, they knew they had zilch for evidence and potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in punitive damages to pay, so they backed right down.
Sidney Powell will get her day in court. She can then produce evidence, if she has any. She did just quietly withdraw her 'Kraken' lawsuit, so it seems unlikely she has any evidence either. If she's lucky, Dominion will accept some kind of apology and settle out of court. Otherwise she's facing a $1.3 billion lawsuit.
Trump's lawyers had 60 lawsuits to make their fraud case. They failed 60 straight times. If you're given the opportunity to provide evidence to make your case and you fail 60 times in a row then you didn't have any evidence. Ballots were counted, recounted and recounted again. Machines were analyzed and found to have no problems. Paper ballots matched machine results, which means the machines weren't hacked. Signatures were checked and rechecked.
Oh, you say, but Democrats have taken over all of the judges! Right, Democrats somehow took over the Federalist Society, forced them to pick who Democrats wanted with their judiciary picks, or they turned every lifelong Federalist judge into a Democrat in four years. To believe such a thing you'd have to believe that Democrats are monumental masterminds with near-godlike powers. That's not the Democratic Party I know, which has a well-earned reputation for bumblingly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
The problem is, I think, that sometimes democracy doesn't make one side the winner every time, and crybaby conservative conspiracy theorists lose their minds when their side loses and lurch into whatever fantasyland theory that makes their opponents seem mighty because that then elevates THEM in their own minds. If that means democracy must burn to the ground, that's the price they're willing to have everyone pay.
Unless proven otherwise in court, I'm going with the Occam's Razor theory: a self-absorbed compulsive liar who wasn't liked by most of the populace lost an election.
So be it. Let's see how it plays out under Biden. At least we won't have to listen a constant barrage of dissenting viewpoints and double-speak from the msm. That shit was gettin' OLD. So now everything's okay and we can concentrate on the environment.

The biggest step the Biden administration took on climate yesterday wasn't rejoining the Paris Agreement
ReplyDeletehttps://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/biggest-step-biden-administration-took-141948599.html
While the Biden Administration is being celebrated for its decision to rejoin the Paris Agreement in one of its first executive orders after President Joe Biden was sworn in, it wasn't the biggest step the administration took to advance its climate agenda.
Instead it was a move to get to the basics of monitoring and accounting, of metrics and dashboards. While companies track their revenues and expenses and monitor for all sorts of risks, impacts from climate change and emissions aren't tracked in the same way. Now, in the same way there are general principals for accounting for finance, there will be principals for accounting for the impact of climate through what's called the social cost of carbon.
The specific section of the order addressing accounting and accountability calls for a working group to come up with three metrics: the social cost of carbon (SCC), the social cost of nitrous oxide (SCN) and the social cost of methane (SCM) that will be used to estimate the monetized damages associated with increases in greenhouse gas emissions.
As the executive order notes, "[an] accurate social cost is essential for agencies to accurately determine the social benefits of reducing greenhouse gas emissions when conducting cost-benefit analyses of regulatory and other actions." What the Administration is doing is attempting to provide a financial figure for the damages wrought by greenhouse gas emissions in terms of rising interest rates, and the destroyed farmland and infrastructure caused by natural disasters linked to global climate change.
The executive order also restored protections to national parks and lands that had been opened to oil and gas exploration and commercial activity under the Trump Administration and blocked the development of the Keystone Pipeline, which would have brought oil from Canadian tar sands into and through the U.S. [more]

Right on cue for Biden, WHO admits high-cycle PCR tests produce COVID false positives
https://www.sott.net/article/447552-Right-on-cue-for-Biden-WHO-admits-high-cycle-PCR-tests-produce-COVID-false-positives
Were the 'conspiracy theorists' just proven right about the "fake rescue plan" for COVID?
Did the 'science-deniers' just get confirmation that it was political after all?
The short answer to both of these questions regarding the COVID-19 'casedemic' and the fallacy of asymptomatic PCR testing is YES and YES!
We have detailed the controversy surrounding America's COVID "casedemic" and the misleading results of the PCR test and its amplification procedure in great detail over the past few months.
Numerous epidemiological experts have argued that cycle thresholds are an important metric by which patients, the public, and policymakers can make more informed decisions about how infectious and/or sick an individual with a positive COVID-19 test might be. However, as JustTheNews reports, health departments across the country are failing to collect that data.
Biden will issue national standards, like the plexiglass barriers in restaurants he spoke about during the debate, and pressure governors to implement mask mandates using the federal government's financial leverage.
Some hack at the CDC or FDA will issue new guidance lowering the Ct the labs use, and cases will magically start to fall.
In reality, the change will only eliminate false positives, but most Americans won't know that.
Good old Uncle Joe will be the hero, even though it is Deep-State actors in the health bureaucracies who won't solve a problem with testing they have been aware of for months. TDS is a heck of a drug.
And now, as Lennox explains in detail below, we have been proved 100% correct as less than one hour after President Biden's inauguration, the WHO proved us right.
What I have referred to as the "casedemic" since September will be magically solved just in time for Joe Biden to look like a hero. For doing absolutely nothing.
Do not tell me there is not a politicized deep state in our health agencies. Do not ever tell me I need to listen to Dr. Anthony Fauci again. And every business owner who has been ruined because of lockdowns due to a high number of "cases" should be livid. Any parent whose child has lost a year of school should be furious.
None of this was for your health. It was to get rid of Orange Man Bad.
And for that reason, the great 2020 disappearing flu passes largely under the mass media's radar. Media proliferated mass deception and the power of repetition get most people to believe and having successfully "killed the flu", they will now do the same with COVID... and, if allowed by our betters, we will all return to the new normal they desire.

Chocolate War Leaves Top Cocoa Producer Stuck With Beans
ReplyDeletehttps://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/chocolate-war-leaves-world-top-084154112.html
Less than two years after the top cocoa producer teamed up with neighboring Ghana to force companies from Hershey Co. to Nestle SA to pay more for their beans, the attempt to exert control over prices is backfiring. Buyers are refusing to pay up, beans are piling in warehouses upcountry and farmers are so desperate that some even slept outside the offices of Ivory Coast’s cocoa regulator demanding action.
“We have suffered with our cocoa piling up,” said Baba Kampe, a 45-year-old farmer with 8 hectares (20 acres) in Daloa who was among those sleeping outside the regulator’s offices Monday. “It has been difficult to feed our children.”
The cooperation to charge the $100 billion chocolate industry a premium of $400 per metric ton was intended to boost income for some of the world’s poorest growers, the West African nations said. But for many cocoa traders, processors and chocolate makers, it was an OPEC-style attempt to boost prices that lacked the supply-and-demand economics key to that cartel’s success.
Farmers now are paying the price. Ivory Coast and Ghana, which account for almost 70% of world supplies, expanded output just as the pandemic locked down cities from Paris to Los Angeles, hurting demand. Growers can’t sell their crop and don’t have a way to store it. Middlemen are paying less than the government’s minimum price, and Ivory Coast had to offer deep discounts to offload this season’s crop. [more]
