The Vulkangruppe (Volcano Group) activists have claimed responsibility for sabotaging a pylon that supplied power to the Tesla Gigafactory in Germany. The factory that makes half a million EVs a year had to close Tuesday and send 12,000 workers home. About 2,000 local homes also lost power. Electricity may not be restored until March 17th and Pierre Goslin at NoTricksZone reports the bill is now estimated to be “over half a billion euro”. Apparently the radical-conservationists thought setting fire to a pile of tyres at the base of a high voltage tower was a way to free the forest and the workers from a capitalist tyranny. Tesla sabotage in GermanyShortly after, an organization known as the Volcano Group (Vulkangruppe) claimed responsibility for the fire online. “We sabotaged Tesla today,” the far-left environmental group stated in an open letter that also accused Tesla CEO Elon Musk of being a “techno-fascist.” The letter went on to criticize Tesla’s implications in driving predatory capitalism, worker exploitation, environmental degradation and modern surveillance technology, which is why. The stated goal was to “bring Tesla to its knees.” For some reason media groups have not made much of a fuss about this. If right wing petrol-heads burnt down critical infrastructure instead this would be the lead story on 1,000 channels. The arson was very much a premediated terrorist act. The Vulkangruppe wrote a 2,500 word essay about how awful Tesla was because it “consumed both natural resources and labour and was neither ecological or sustainable.” Indeed The Guardian claims EVs are under attack because they might not be very green: Electric cars have come under increasing attack by environmental activists, in particular over concerns that their production leads to higher emissions than the manufacture of internal combustion engine cars and that the production and recharging of electric car batteries constitute environmental burden. In targeted attacks around Europe, including in Germany, electric cars have had their tyres slashed or deflated. It’s an interesting admission by the Guardian editors, about ten years too late. And they don’t exactly have a lot of evidence. They include a link to the tyre slashers who specifically targeted SUVs for “climate action”, but in those incidents the only electric car tyres that were slashed were cut by accident.  Tesla Gigafactory Brandenberg, Germany. | Photo by Michael Wolf (Webseite) Locals in Brandenberg have been protesting about the plans to expand the Tesla factory which would require cutting down 100 hectares of forest. But according to one Tesla fan, the forests the terrorists want to save are plantation trees anyway not native forest. These are either the dumbest eco-terrorists on Earth or they’re puppets of those who don’t have good environmental goals. Stopping production of electric vehicles, rather than fossil fuel vehicles, ist extrem dumm. This is what you get when the media promote one-sided crazy political lies and suppress sensible voices for 20 years. So these might well be home-grown hippy crazies. But let’s not forget that there are foreign actors which sell competing EVs and speak the language of Marxism. They might benefit from winding up the local Antifa crowd.

The climate hypnotists tell you every kind of weather is climate change100 years from now university students will write exam essays on the mass psychosis that overcame climate scientists in the early part of the century. Here, for example are experts telling us with a straight face that winter cold snaps are also a sign of man-made climate change. True seers can see climate change everywhere: Global warming may be behind an increase in the frequency and intensity of cold spells
One less obvious consequence of global warming is also getting growing attention from scientists: a potential increase in the intensity and frequency of winter cold snaps in the northern hemisphere. Naturally, this “potential” increase was expected, even though they didn’t think to mention it. Even if they told us our children won’t know what snow is. Some of the mechanisms that lead to their occurrence are strengthened by global warming. Key climate mechanisms, like exchanges of energy and air masses between different altitude ranges in the atmosphere, are evolving in ways expected to cause an increase in both the intensity and duration of cold snaps. They expected it right after it started happening. Students of psychics will note the princelings of climate science cover their bases in the same ambiguous terms — the weather can be very social and outgoing, but at times shy, you know. And key mechanisms, which we won’t name, at altitudes that are different, may be evolving. See what I mean? These exchanges of energy and air masses “link to the behaviour of a region in the high atmosphere called the stratosphere.” says Ms Beatriz Monge-Sanz, mysteriously, explaining nothing at all and everything all at once. I defy anyone to unpack the “mechanisms”. Somehow extra CO2 causes Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) at the poles, and they can’t quite explain how. But they know, post hoc, that SSW’s have increased in the last 40 years, so it must have been “climate change” because that increased too. And if only their supercomputers were a bit more super, they might be able to actually predict these SSW events in advance and all. But they can’t, and they even admit that. Monge-Sanz is a senior researcher in Physics at Oxford. I’d like to ask her: What weather would show us that climate models are wrong? The tally of failure continues: the hot spot is still missing, the climate models can’t predict the climate on a local, regional, or continental scale, they don’t know why global warming slowed for years, They can’t explain the pause, the cause or the long term historic climate movements either. Measurements of satellites, clouds, 3,000 ocean buoys, 6,000 boreholes, a thousand tide gauges, and 28 million weather balloons can’t find the warming that the models predict. In the oceans, the warming isn’t statistically significant, sea-levels started rising too early, aren’t rising fast enough, aren’t accelerating, nor are warming anywhere near as much as they predicted. Antarctica was supposed to be warming faster than almost anywhere but they were totally wrong. The vast Southern Ocean is cooling not warming. And the only part of Antarctica that’s warming sits on top of a volcano chain they prefer not to tell you about. No wonder expert climate modelers don’t want their own pensions bet on climate models. Students of 20th Century Climate Dogma 101 will marvel at how long a stupid, skillless, hypothesis kept rolling years after it was proven wrong.

Like children, we banned nuclear power before we even built one. We could afford to strut in our anti-nuke super-cape because we were swimming in 300 years worth of coal. (Now we want to ban that too.) Somehow, despite the burden of all that coal, the idea of nuclear has grown legs, but the rest of the world must be laughing at us. The US built the first reactor way back in 1957, and 50 years ago the French built 56 reactors in just 15 years and most of the reactors were built in 6-8 years. But our experts in the CSIRO think it will take us 14 years to even build a small one. Even if the nuclear ban was lifted tomorrow and a decision immediately taken to commission a nuclear reactor, CSIRO estimates the first SMR would not be in full operation before 2038, ruling it out of “any major role” in reaching net zero emissions by 2050. Today we have computer aided design and supercomputers with AI, but we can’t even build a 50 year old copy of a French plant as fast as the French could in an era when homes still had slide rules. If we ask President Macron nicely, perhaps he’ll even give us the old plans? The first 910 MW reactor at Blayais Nuclear Power Plant was built from 1976 to 1981 and is still operating today. The three other turbines were finished by 1983. So the ancient 1970s French industry could build a 4GW nuclear plant in 7 years.
It produces about 26,000GWh of electricitie each year with a capacity factor of about 75%. Brown coal power is still cheaper.
By Jo Nova In a democracy the Court of Public Opinion is (still) the highest courtDonald Trump’s name can stay on the ballots.
It’s one of those rare moments in 2024 when something makes sense. All nine justices of the US Supreme Court have decided that the largest jury in the world should be allowed to judge for themselves who they want to have as President. The Colorado Supreme Court had decided that Donald Trump was too naughty for people to vote for, even though he hadn’t been charged or convicted of leading an insurrection of horned people (or any one else) to overthrow the US government. The votes of a few state officials would therefore overrule the votes of millions potentially. And the whole idea of being innocent until proven guilty was tossed out the window. The Court of Public Opinion is the only one that matters in a democracy. If there was free speech and a free media, crimes will be investigated, and the evidence put on display As The Epoch Times said — it has never happened like this before: Keep reading →  … By Jo Nova
I’m looking forward to spending three days at the Triple Conference in Albury from March 15 -17th. Topics include looking at ways to get the Government out of our lives, get cheap energy, returning manufacturing, rule of law, management of the Murray Darling, I’ll be speaking and so will David Burton of the Inigo Jones long term weather forecasting and the failures of the BOM. Other speakers include three Senators: Malcolm Roberts, Ralph Babet, and Alex Antic, plus two sitting MPs, many former MP’s like Gary Johns, Warren Mundine, plus also Augusto Zimmerman — it’s big! The Gala Dinner on Saturday is called Nyet Zero. It’s being organised by Topher Field of AussieWire. This is the first time the three conferences have been combined: Big Ideas for A Better Australia, the Friedman Conference for libertarians, and the Church and State conference. The conference itself is under $300, the Conference plus Gala Dinner is about $550, and there is a VIP option too. Tickets here.
Next step: sustainable human steak?They don’t mention the “sustainable” word, but you know they want to. Right from the start they’re selling it to us: Ethically, cannibalism poses fewer issues than you might imagine. If a body can be bequeathed with consent to medical science, why can’t it be left to feed the hungry? Why can’t we feed our bodies to the homeless indeed, apart from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, prions, parasites, heavy metals? And if cannibalism pops up on the menu often enough, who knows what other problem will pop up on the radar? Things at the top of the food chain (and we are at the top) tend to accumulate all kinds of unwanted chemicals, like lead, PCBs, and pollutants. Not to mention the spiritual questions and the mental health issues. Who knows? Relatives might feel a bit miffed if Aunty Betty was carved up for canapes and offered up to the crowd at the local alcoholics shelter. Welcome to dystopia. We can devalue human lives, but think of the cows we’ll save! And the CultureWar continuesTut. Tut. Tut. New Scientist gently chides us for being the sort of modern prejudiced people who think cannibalism is taboo. Its just your colonial roots that do that to you, right? If you don’t like cannibals you are just a racist: Our aversion has been explained in various ways. Perhaps it is down to the fact that, in Western religious traditions, bodies are seen as the seat of the soul and have a whiff of the sacred. Or maybe it is culturally ingrained, with roots in early modern colonialism, when racist stereotypes of the cannibal were concocted to justify subjugation. These came to represent the “other” to Western societies – and revulsion towards cannibalism became a tenet of their moral conscience. Once human bodies are reduced to being meat to feed the poor, euthanasia is almost a gift to the world, really. And science is just, well, one of many ideologies, not something special. The New Scientist output is just another article chipping away at the pillars of Western Civilization. The fact they don’t even consider pollutants and diseases, nor the soul sapping mental health issues is just embarrassing for a supposedly “scientific” magazine. For whatever its worth, after half a billion years of evolution, predators almost never eat other predators, and most species don’t eat their own kind. Perhaps there is a reason…

Not only has the bubble popped, but everyone knows it’s popped.After ten years, Apple abandons the fantasy of EV’sApple is believed to have spent “billions” since 2014, trying to develop an EV in the semi secretive “Project Titan”. They reportedly had 2,000 employees working on it, but this week, they dropped it like a hot rock, and, by golly, investors were relieved. It came as a big surprise. Two years ago Apple was so serious it hired some veterans from Lamborghini. In January Apple was hiring drivers for its autonomous testing fleet. A few weeks ago the project was live but being downgraded to a less autonomous machine and delayed until 2028. But this week, employees are being laid off, and Apple is moving many of the workforce to AI. Most commentators saw this as a cost cutting exercise due to competition from China, but some are seeing this as a bigger sign: “It does not get much more shocking than this,” said Roger Lanctot, automotive analyst at TechInsights. “If you have more money than God and you decide not to pursue a particular concept it is a massive rejection of this value proposition.” —Reinhardt Krause, Investors Business Daily Now everyman and his dog is getting outThis news is not just about the failure of the autonomous driverless vehicle. It comes on top of the news that practically everyone in the auto industry is stepping away slowly. Mercedes Benz is pulling back on EV ambitions. They were aiming to get to the heavenly 100% electric zone by 2030, but now they’re bringing in a new combustion model in 2027. They say Europe won’t be ready by 2030 to go fully electric, and they are concerned about the lower than expected demand for EVs. Aston Martin is also delaying their electric car program and explain it’s just because people don’t want them: Aston Martin boss Lawrence Stroll has confirmed the reason for the delay was simply a lack of consumer demand for the latest EV model at this stage. — Express. UK Tesla, the EV giant, still survives but the deceleration is breathtaking: Even Tesla, the pioneer of the EV revolution in the US, has warned its rate of expansion will be “notably lower” this year. Domestic EV sales growth will decelerate to 11 per cent next year from an estimated 47 per cent growth rate this year, according to a forecast by UBS. It’s rare in life to watch a bubble unravel so fast around usIn the middle of 2023 American car sales yards started to fill with EV’s that weren’t selling. Then the repair costs started accumulating and EV’s were becoming hard to insure, the second hand sales value fell. Then came the spectacular Luton Airport fire where 1,200 cars were cremated and an airport terminal collapsed. By late October the quarterly reports and the terrible earnings were piling up. VW orders were down 50%, Ford was losing $38,000 on every car. In early November one of the largest rental car companies in the world announced they were selling a third of their EV fleet because EV’s cost more to repair and customers didn’t want to rent them anyway. And that was before Americans found out that EV’s can’t be charged if the temperature gets below zero, and cars were stuck for days in a cold snap in Chicago. The bubble was inflated with Big Government money. Despite all these failures and the obvious news that EV’s are not yet, and may never be, cheap and convenient, many governments still want to force people to buy them in the hope of slowing the storms in 2100.

By Jo Nova It’s lucky the world has so many billionaires to save us from Democracy eh?But instead of persuading us, or doing honest adverts to save the world (which they could obviously afford) they prefer the deceptive approach. If you think Hollywood is boring these days, there’s a reasonChris Morrison at the Daily Sceptic found the Go-To Guide for hiding climate propaganda in Hollywood Movies where children won’t even realize they are being spoon-fed political products: Green Billionaires Press Hollywood to Promote Armageddon Climate Messages in MoviesGood Energy aims to weave climate alarm into all types of film-making, “especially” if it is not about climate. With the support of Bloomberg, it recently published ‘Good Energy – A Playbook for Screenwriting in the Age of Climate Change’. It claims the Playbook is “now the industry’s go-to guide to incorporating climate into any storyline or genre”. As with almost all green campaigning groups, Good Energy would not exist without the support of billionaire funding. These operations seek a supra-national collectivist Net Zero solution to a claimed climate emergency. Good Energy acknowledges it would not exist without this funding, adding, “as collaborators and champions, each has provided a unique contribution for which we are endlessly grateful”.
If action against climate change is woven into the cultural wallpaper, children may not even be able to imagine a world without FakeBurgers and windmills. The seas will endlessly rise while somehow staying in the same place, like living in an Escher puzzle. Every storm surge will be fossil fueled and every retreat will be invisible. Have you run out of plotlines? Good Energy can help…
How Hollywood Is Crafting A New Climate Change NarrativeTake the Netflix show, Unstable, for example. In the new series, Rob Lowe stars as a genius biotech innovator, who’s created a slew of planet-saving solutions. The Hulu mystery, A Murder at the End of World, hones in on a tech billionaire who wants to save the world from climate change. Hulu’s Indigenous American comedy-drama, Reservation Dogs, features Dallas Goldtooth, an advocate for the Land Back Indigenous sovereignty movement. The CBS sitcom, Ghosts, rolled out an episode called “The Tree,” that dives into different ways a few of the central characters relate to nature and climate change. And if you were a billionaire invested in EVs or batteries, you’d want heroes to help your investments grow too, right? (Especially, now). Donations to Hollywood Propaganda Inc are a tax deductible advertising expense that’s not called advertising. It’s something you can brag about at Davos! According to an analysis by the Norman Lear Center’s Media Impact Project and Good Energy, which supports TV and film creators in telling compelling and accurate climate stories, less than 3 percent of film and TV scripts from 2016 to 2020 mentioned climate-related terms. For now, the organization is dedicated to ensuring that by 2027, 50 percent of contemporary TV and film acknowledges climate change. What this also guarantees is that it buys up some writers that might have mocked climate change. De facto it squeezes creativity out. That only works though, if some upstart production unit doesn’t cherry pick off the sacred cows of modern climate-moo, and have a riotously funny time doing it. That probably won’t happen in Hollywood, but it might on Twitter, which is why Elon is such a threat. It only takes one popular rebel to breach the whole cultural fake facade. This goes deeper than just being a renewables advertThe Playbook notes that “indigenous people are the first climate scientists, and indigenous people are leading us through this climate crisis”. If raindancing shaman were the original climate scientists, then science itself is just another religion, and it’s nothing special. The whole idea of hypothesis testing, pffft. The modern scientists are just an upgrade on the original voodoo, not a totally novel philosophy that transformed the world. See what they did there? They’re not just selling windmills, they’re undermining a civilization. It is a cultural war, whether you want one or not. The sponsors behind the subliminal advertising program are groups like the Sierra Club, which is then funded by the Tides Foundation, among others, which was in turn funded by the usuals: the Rockefellers, the Soros, the Hewletts, and the Packards, and all the rest. There are a hundred other variations for the money to flow from the Uber Rich to protect their investments and keep the riff raff happy voting for absurd Presidents and Prime Ministers, and content to holiday at home with a heat pump. The men with the most money in the world will craft our culture if we let them. Tell the children… Fantasy female hero image by Stefan Keller

Two years late: Two legal wins, and a Senate investigationTwo years after police and ambulance drivers were forced to get Covid injections, the Queensland Supreme Court has ruled that the vaccine mandates were unlawful. Because this decision is about human rights, it’s may also apply to other humans (we hope). So lawyers all over the country are sitting up and paying attention. This follows on from a South Australian decision a few weeks ago where the Employment Tribunal found that an employer (the state government) was liable for any injuries caused to staff by mandatory injections required in the workplace. And possibly related to all this, in 2022 10,000 Australians died above and beyond the normal rate and no one (officially) knows why. The Australian Senate has decided (on the fourth try, and only by one vote) they can say for sure someone should definitely look into this. This banal, but good outcome was possibly a parliamentary world first — which says a lot about the state of democracies around the world because the same odd patterns of deaths is occurring in pretty much every democracy. The Labor Party and Greens voted against it, presumably being worried about industrial relations but fine with dead bodies. Forced vaccination finally deemed unlawfulQLD Supreme Court declares Police and Ambulance vaccine mandates unlawfulRebel News In a landmark ruling, the Queensland Supreme Court has declared the Covid-19 vaccine mandates for police and ambulance staff to be unlawful under the Human Rights Act. The ruling, which declared the mandates to be in breach of the Human Rights Act, comes after 38 Queensland Police staff, including 16 officers, were reportedly sacked for refusing to get vaccinated.  The Queensland Supreme Court 130 years ago when people still knew how to build good buildings. Some 200 police in the state were suspended due to non-compliance. The decision to force medical experiments on employees was made in January 2022. So here we are living in a legal swamp where it’s taken two long years to find out what is “lawful”. Both the Police Commissioner of Queensland, and the Queensland Health director-general apparently didn’t fully understand the law. And the government may yet appeal, which means, in the fullness of millions of dollars perhaps the unlawful will become lawful again. The legal system is seemingly set up by lawyers for lawyers, and the crime it takes so long to even know that the law is. Not only did some people get injected against their wishes, but others who complied might have chosen differently had they known this two years ago. Some people were put through hell for believing (correctly) that they had the legal right to choose what they inject. They lost their jobs and went through two years of stress, fear and lost income. A few others who took the vaccine may have had their own kind of hell, depending on whether they had side effects. There is an ocean of human pain there that could have been avoided if our laws were simplified and unlawful orders were not left to unlawfully fester for two whole years. The court found the police commissioner, Katarina Carroll, failed to give proper consideration to human rights relevant to the decision to issue the vaccine mandate. The former Department of Health director general Dr John Wakefield was unable to prove he issued the vaccine mandate under an implied term of the employment agreements for ambulance service workers. As a result, both vaccine mandates were found by the court to be “unlawful” and to have no effect. We wonder if the police commissioner had given “proper consideration to the human rights”, would that make forced vaccinations OK? And if Wakefield failed to find the right clause in employment agreements, will future agreements be written to include the right for employers to inject workers against things not invented yet? The Australian notes that this has widespread ramifications: Queensland’s ‘unlawful’ Covid-19 vaccine mandate ruling just ‘tip of the iceberg’: expertsby Ellie Dudley and Lydia Lynch A landmark legal decision “vindicating” dozens of Queensland paramedics and police officers who took on the state government’s Covid-19 vaccine mandates is just the “tip of the iceberg” of litigation attempting to overthrow pandemic orders, experts say, with cases in similar jurisdictions likely to ride on the coat-tails of the successful action. More than 70 staff had taken legal action against the state government in three separate applications, arguing the vaccine requirements were incompatible with their human rights and they had been discriminated against “due to their political belief or activity”. The Australian Senate decides unexplained mass deaths might be worth a lookWhen thousands of Australians start to die above the norm, it only takes our elected representatives two years to make the big decision to call for an inquiry. Senator Babet (UAP) is to be congratulated for his tenacity, but seriously, how low is our bar? The investigation should have been done in 2021 when the deaths became detectable and lives could have been saved. Australian Senate acknowledges need for inquiry into excess deathsBy Rebekah Barnett While yesterday’s motion calling for agreement that there is “a need for further inquiry” into the causes of Australia’s excess mortality is more symbolic than practical in its outcome, Senator Babet says that its passing is an important step in the right direction. “This motion is symbolic of a changing sentiment around this issue, and I am not aware of any other parliament in the world who has admitted that excess deaths are worthy of inquiry,” Senator Babet said in a statement released after the vote.
Remember the big Queensland vaccine trail that was supposed to follow 10,000 people for five years? The QoVax trial gave the illusion the government cared, but mysteriously ran out of funding after just one year. Somehow, the Australian government was happy to spend $18 billion on Australia’s vaccine and treatment of Covid 19, yet wouldn’t spend 0.5% of that checking whether the vaccines were safe.[Update: For some reason the Australian Government has lost that page bragging about their spending. Luckily the WayBack Machine has a copy. ] They had a year of data. What did they know? h/t another Ian, Stephen Neil, Earl, David of Cooyal, Rebel News. Kesten Green.

In the world we thought we lived in, if a major new experimental drug was rolled out in an emergency, in a nation with 22 million mobile phones, satellites and 100,000 bureaucrats, you’d think batches would have been tracked, results collected and within a few months our Minister of Health would be able to release safety data for all of us to see. Instead, we got nothing.
