Russian President Vladimir Putin declared Tuesday that his nation will ban crude oil and petroleum product exports to countries that impose a price cap on Russian crude.
So, let me get this straight. Russia is the capitalist country in calling for the market to set the price. And the US and Europe are imposing communist restrictions on the oil market.
The EU has convinced the Netherlands that they must reduce nitrogen emissions in order to be a member in good standing within the EU. The Netherlands is the largest exporter of agricultural products in the EU. They are second only to the US as an agricultural exporter in the world.
The Dutch Council of State passed a law in 2019 requiring every activity that emits nitrogen to obtain a permit. Consequently, the expansion of dairy, poultry and pig farms, which produce nitrogen – in the form of ammonia – from animal manure has been curbed.
The World Economic Forum is causing companies to consider abandoning European manufacturing sites because it has become too expensive to manufacture goods there. Essentially, western governments following the insane “Build Back Better” climate change agenda are making it very expensive to conduct operations in Europe. This is due to the escalating cost of energy.
The Davos crowd (that would be the WEF and other such “woke” outfits) has decided that Great Britain should pay “climate change reparations” for all the damage that Great Britain has caused the world by the Industrial Revolution. Rashid Sanook (or Rishi Sunak if you aren’t President Biden), the new, unelected British Prime Minister, has kicked off the COP27 summit by leaking such a ridiculous idea to the press. Let’s remember that Sunak was installed as Prime Minister because the WEF did not care for the previous one.
A new video from the World Economic Forum (WEF) puts forward the theory that economic growth must be stopped. That we cannot “save the planet” if we allow unbridled growth free rein.
Dr. Tom Woods has delved into the climate change hypocrisy that has been amped up because of Hurricane Ian. None of this hysteria is unexpected. The opportunity to gain more control over the public through government activities will NEVER be ignored by the communists who inhabit the Left.
Here’s what they’re up to now.
Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, is speaking of “flattening the curve” — but she’s not speaking about COVID.
She’s using that propaganda phrase for a whole new purpose now. The “curve” is energy use.
Another example of the politicization of the law enforcement agencies in this country surfaced last week. Steve Bannon, an outspoken supporter of President Trump, was indicted on a litany of charges related to attempting to build a wall on the southern border.
What would ordinarily be an item in the Babylon Bee, is now real life. The University of Pennsylvania has nominated a man for the NCAA “Woman of the Year” award. Lia Thomas, formerly known as Will Thomas, has been put up for the award.
Babylon Bee reports that Pfizer just finished clinical trials for a monkey pox vaccine. This was fortunate since a “new strain” of the virus was detected piggybacking on gay males and traveling around the world.
