PETER CLACK: Despite decades of hysteria and trillions of dollars spent on renewables - coal, oil and gas still produce 81% of the world's primary energy.

Research from groups like the IEA and various mining analysts suggests that to meet Net Zero by 2050, the world will need to mine more copper in the next 25 years than has been mined in the last 5,000 years.

New copper mines are not popping up either. It takes an average of 16 years to move a copper mine from discovery to first production. --Peter Clack

Solar panels and turbine blades are destined to become the actual 'fossils' from a bygone age. Much of this unusable rubble will lie in the ground for thousands of years—a legacy of a modern world where recycling is a myth used to prop up a narrative of free wind and sunshine. Despite decades of hysteria and trillions of dollars spent on renewables - coal, oil and gas still produce 81% of the world's primary energy. It's around 10 to 30 times more expensive to recycle a solar panel than to landfill it. Hundreds of thousands of decommissioned wind turbine blades the size of Boeing 707 wings, are never going to be recycled. High-purity silicon used in wind solar is produced by heating quartz (silica) with carbon (usually in the form of coal, coke, or wood chips) in a submerged-arc furnace at temperatures exceeding 2,000°C. Nothing can justify the colossal electricity volume needed to run the furnaces, which, in the world's largest solar-producing regions, are still supplied by coal-fired grids. Recycling costs far more than any benefits. A 90% figure often cited refers primarily to the steel towers and internal wiring, which are valuable. But the 'green' challenge remains with the composite blades and the economic gap in solar recovery. A technology can be 'recyclable' in a lab but a costly 'liability' in the real world if the market for those recovered materials doesn't exist without massive subsidies. While solar panels may pay back the 'joules', they don't necessarily pay back the quality of energy (baseload/dispatchable) used to create them. With a decommissioning cycle occurring before 2050, we are essentially stuck in a perpetual loop of high-energy manufacturing swallowing the very fuels we are trying to replace. Research from groups like the IEA and various mining analysts suggests that to meet Net Zero by 2050, the world will need to mine more copper in the next 25 years than has been mined in the last 5,000 years. New copper mines are not popping up either. It takes an average of 16 years to move a copper mine from discovery to first production. We are significantly behind the curve for the volume required for EVs, wind turbines, and massive grid expansions. Environmental regulations and permits often stretch that 16-year average out. This creates a paradox where 'green' regulations slow down 'green' mineral extraction. It isn’t just copper; a single 3 MW wind turbine requires approximately 2 tons of rare earth magnets. We use massive diesel-burning fleets to mine the minerals for 'clean' energy. We are demanding a 500% increase in the production of minerals like lithium, graphite and cobalt by 2040. As we dig deeper for lower-grade ore, the energy required to extract each ton of metal rises, creating a feedback loop where we need more energy just to get the materials to build 'energy-saving' tech. The industrial cost of waste from high-tech civilisations must eventually hit a geological wall. Are we planning for that wall or still accelerating towards it?

White men are afraid of their own power.  

When black people chimp out it looks like nihilistic gang violence and drive-by shootings.

When brown people chimp out it looks like Allah Akbar and it looks like cartels.

When white people chimp out it looks like ubiquitous domination, a level of conquest that other people could never f****** conceive of is the reality.  And that makes a lot of people . . . it makes a lot of people uncomfortable and on some level I don't even like being the one to say it because temperamentally I'm a sensitive person.  But we have to start acknowledging that's the reason why all of this has been foisted upon us as a people is because they are afraid of us is the reality.

PETER CLACK: The world will have to deal with 43 million tons of decommissioned wind turbine blades by Net Zero in 2050. To put that in perspective, it’s the equivalent weight of 215,000 locomotives.

from Peter Clack,
The world will have to deal with 43 million tons of decommissioned wind turbine blades by Net Zero in 2050. To put that in perspective, it’s the equivalent weight of 215,000 locomotives. These blades are made of high-strength composites designed to survive decades of brutal weather, and they are notoriously difficult to recycle. They were built to last, but they weren't built to disappear. Every turbine standing today will likely be decommissioned and replaced at least once before 2050. Without a cost-effective way to recycle fibre-reinforced polymers, the majority of these massive blades are destined for eternity - buried forever in turbine graveyards. China, Europe, and the US will account for the vast majority of this waste, creating a mountainous industrial heartache that many Net Zero models simply haven't priced in.

But 43 million tons of purely composite blade waste every 20 years is a colossal physical reality.

What if our Compass is pointing to some dysfunctional, toxic, awful human being, or awful situation?  We have to rewire it.

Step one of this is to spot the loop.  And a pretty easy question here is just asking, "What keeps happening that I say I don't want, but I keep allowing?"

Then we get to step two.  And we want to name the magnets it's a mirror or is it an echo or reversal or is it completion and then step three we want to trace the original source

CHASE HUGHES: Eight, never try to win through just logic.

This was okay.

HOW TO AOID BEING MANIPULATED

One, never explain yourself under pressure.  [Doing so] automatically means submission.  You might want to fire back with, "You know, I don't think you meant to, but that question is designed to put me in a position of justifying myself and that's not a role I'm going to take right now."  [Frankly, that sounds like a weak retort.]

Two, never argue about your motives.  Just don't do it.  Just openly call it out, like, "Well, the way you said that puts me into a place of defending what kind of person I am."  [Again.]

Three, never take the bait on any character question, any character question at all, like never argue about who you are.

Four, never apologize just to de-escalate ever.  If you're in with a manipulator, the apology they're trying to force out of you is an admission of guilt, not saying that you're going to fix anything.

Five, never match emotion to prove your point.  Never match somebody's intensity.  [This was good advise.]

Six, never accept somebody else's language without precision.  So words like "disrespect" or "abuse" or "betrayal," they can totally hijack a narrative.  So you might just say, "Those words all carry some kind of frame, and if I accept those words, what you just said, I'm not speaking for myself anymore.  So that's a big one.  [Again, weak reply.  Why reply at all?]

Seven, never accept any binary traps.  Like either "yes or no."  The either, or question.  There's always nuance to it and always seek specificity.  Always get into specifics.  "When you said this, what specifically did you want to talk about? Always go back to their intention.  Like what was your intention?  What's the ideal outcome here for you?"

Eight, never try to win through just logic.

Chase Hughes on

8:10. So over the course of time, if you're ancestors to someone off in the tribe and they get judged by a lot of people and they get some kind of judgment ed this meant death.  Like A) they're not going to have food and support anymore, water, all this other stuff that's very important to life.  But B) they can't have sex anymore.

ANDREW BRIDGEN: The year is 1972. Your doctor prescribes Valium. Britain is in the grip of a benzodiazepine wave that will last two decades.

The year is 1950. Your doctor lights a cigarette and tells you smoking is fine. He read it in a study. He is telling the truth about having read it. He does not know, or is not saying, that the study was funded by the tobacco industry. The year is 1958. Your doctor tells you to eat less fat. The evidence is contested. The contestation is not in the public messaging. The food industry has been helpful in clarifying which findings deserve attention. Some researchers who published contradictory data have been quietly defunded. Ancel Keys is on the cover of Time magazine. The year is 1962. Your doctor prescribes thalidomide to your pregnant wife for morning sickness. It has been approved. The FDA gave it the green light in Europe. Twelve thousand children will be born with severe limb malformations before anyone in an official capacity acknowledges the problem. The families are told the drug was safe. The drug was approved. Both of these things remain true. The year is 1972. Your doctor prescribes Valium. Britain is in the grip of a benzodiazepine wave that will last two decades. The dependency risk is known internally. It is not shared. Your doctor is not lying to you. He was not told either. The year is 1999. Your doctor prescribes Vioxx for your arthritis. It is newer than ibuprofen, well-tolerated, and Merck has a study showing it works. Merck also has internal data suggesting it roughly doubles the risk of heart attack. This data will not reach your doctor for four more years. Fifty thousand people are estimated to have died in the interim. Merck eventually settles for 4.85 billion dollars. No criminal charges are brought. The year is 2002. Your doctor prescribes OxyContin. Purdue Pharma trained its sales representatives to tell doctors the addiction risk was less than one percent. That figure came from a letter, not a study. The letter was about patients with terminal cancer on short-term doses in hospital settings. Your doctor is a GP with a patient who has a bad back. Nobody draws a distinction. Nobody is required to. The year is 2008. Your doctor checks your cholesterol. Your LDL is elevated. You are prescribed a statin. Nobody mentions that the number needed to treat for primary prevention is approximately 250. Nobody mentions that the muscle deterioration you'll notice over the next two years is listed as a rare side effect rather than a documented pattern affecting a meaningful percentage of patients. The trial that informed the prescription was funded by the manufacturer. Now it is today. Your doctor has new guidelines. New studies. New consensus. He is confident. He has always been confident. The confidence has never been the problem. The confidence is, in fact, precisely the problem. Source: COVID19 VACCINE VICTIMS ANDFAMILIES

LINUXHIPPIE: This is a Counter-State activity in the Repressive Tolerance Line of Operation. This is what Marxist do to destabilize and demoralize societies they seek to control.

A Critique of Pure Tolerance, 1965.  "Repressive Tolerance," 

They write that the purpose of the book is to discuss the political role of tolerance and that despite their disagreements with each other they believe that "the prevailing theory and practice of tolerance" is hypocritical and conceals "appalling political realities."

Marcuse argues that "the realization of the objective of tolerance" requires "intolerance toward prevailing policies, attitudes, opinions, and the extension of tolerance to policies, attitudes, and opinions which are outlawed or suppressed." He makes the case for "liberating tolerance", which would consist of intolerance to right-wing movements and toleration of left-wing movements.

 

Repression comes in many forms like arrests, violence, or spreading false information.  Despite these hurdles, movements find ways to keep fighting for justice.  They use different strategies that mix ethics and politics to stay strong and visible.  One common approach is changing how they protest.  When public demonstrations become dangerous or impossible, movements switch to underground activities or digital campaigns.  They might organize secret meetings or use social media to share their message safely.

Another key tactic is decentralization.  Instead of having one leader, movements have decision-making across many groups or individuals.  This makes it harder for authorities to shut down the entire movement by targeting just a few leaders.  It also encourages more people to get involved, making the movement more resilient and inclusive.  Building strong organizational skills is also vital.  Movements create support networks, like legal help, mental health resources, and safe spaces.  These help activists stay motivated and protected.  Ethically, this shows that they care about the well-being of everyone involved, not just the cause itself.  Highlighting repression publicly is another powerful tool.  Movements document abuses, like violence and censorship, and share these stories widely.  Social media and independent news outlets help spread the truth quickly.

JEFF CLARK: Proponents of certain brands of Islam would merge Muslim religious practices with government in a way that makes a seasonal creche scene look like kindergarten-level religious piker-ism. What we face here is that this aggressive brand of Islam is literally designing, promoting, and standing up mini-theocracies at the local level.

from Jeff Clark:

The Left frequently argues that even voluntary Christian prayer in schools, traditional Nativity scenes at Christmas, the motto "In God we trust" on the money, and the like are establishments of religion violating the First Amendment. They are ignoring the actual threat that Sharia law's proliferation poses under the Establishment Clause.
The First Amendment's Establishment Clause prohibits the government from making any law “respecting an establishment of religion.” This clause not only forbids the government from establishing an official religion, but also prohibits government actions that unduly favor one religion over another. It also prohibits the government from unduly preferring religion over non-religion, or non-religion over religion.  --LII, Legal Information Institute.
Proponents of certain brands of Islam would merge Muslim religious practices with government in a way that makes a seasonal creche scene look like kindergarten-level religious piker-ism. What we face here is that this aggressive brand of Islam is literally designing, promoting, and standing up mini-theocracies at the local level. What we uncovered in our EPIC City report is one such effort, aimed like a dagger at Texas, one of the remaining beating hearts of our Republic. EPIC aimed, by its own admission, to make its housing development "the epicenter of Islam in North America." It's also important to note that even in Islamic terms, EPIC is discriminatory as it is expressly tied to a Sunni Muslim group and not to the Shiites. Our hope @ItsYourGov is that our report will help you wake up to what is going on in America and the dire level of the threat.

KING CHARLES LIED. He said, "George Washington, and his fellow founders was to forge a democracy founded upon . . . ." They formed a Republic, if we can keep it. They uniformly loathed Democracy.

from Jon Troyer,

Why Can't People Get This Right? . . . because they don't want to
"Out of the fires of a bitter and bloody revolutionary war, the triumph of the father of this country, George Washington, and his fellow founders was to forge a democracy founded upon the rights to liberty and the rule of law." - King Charles III, April 28, 2026
George Washington had very little input on the actual formation of the language of the U.S. Constitution, although he did write letters later in support of its ratification. Aside from voting as a delegate on proposals and presiding over the convention as its president and maintaining order, he spoke only on the final day of the Constitutional Convention, in support of a motion to give Congress the power to enlarge the House of Representatives up to a maximum of one representative per 30,000 people, if it chose to do so. Washington also did not participate in the Continental Congress debates that gave rise to the Declaration of Independence over a decade earlier, as he was in New York as Commander of the Continental Army. In writings, Washington frequently referenced the republican model of government. In his First Inaugural Address (1789), he spoke of
"the preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the republican model of government" as staked on the American experiment.
He said in his Farewell Address (1796),
"I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally. This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy."
Elizabeth Willing Powel's question,
"Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"
Benjamin Franklin's response,
"A republic, if you can keep it."

In Federalist #10, James Madison wrote,

“Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”

CHRISTOPHER HALE: [Evelio Menijar-Ayala] finally arrived in California in 1990, having been smuggled in the trunk of a car with his brother over the border crossing between Tijuana and San Diego.

USCCB, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. 

from Christopher Hale:

NEW: Pope Leo XIV has named Salvadoran immigrant Evelio Menijar-Ayala to be West Virginia’s lone Catholic bishop. 
As a teenager, he made three attempts to enter the United States illegally. 
He finally arrived in California in 1990, having been smuggled in the trunk of a car with his brother over the border crossing between Tijuana and San Diego. 
Over the next several years, Menjivar-Ayala worked janitorial and construction jobs in California before deciding to become a priest. 
It’s a remarkable choice in a state that [was] over 90% white and voted for President Trump by 42 points.
