Self Inflicted Shortages

4/19/2022

The shortages keep getting worse. There are a couple of exceptions... no shortage of inflation and no shortage of illegal migrants flooding across the southern border.

Some folks don't believe the shortages (and associated inflation) are Biden's fault. Let's explore.

Natural Gas
Though the United States has abundant supplies of NG, futures have spiked above $8. Is this self-inflicted? Here's what Bloomberg (not exactly a conservative friendly source) has to say. The inventory woes are due to the US exporting "every molecule of liquefied natural gas possible to help Europe reduce its reliance on Russian energy "

The US' mission to resupply Europe with LNG is taking critical supplies away from domestic US markets and boosting prices sky-high, crushing American households to "save" Germans from shortages. (Click the pic)

Please don't blame Putin for this fiasco. In the midst of the worst energy crunch EVER, the German government continues with plans to prematurely close its remaining nuclear power plants. This is self inflicted.

EV Battery Materials
I've written previously about the skyrocketing cost of lithium which is essential for making batteries. neoterra.us/blog/more-scarcity-to-come

The known global reserves of lithium are not sufficient to allow a transition to EVs. The Administration's efforts to force a premature transition have driven the price of lithium up 500% since Biden took office.

This week, Rivian CEO, RJ Scaringe told the WSJ: “Put very simply, all the world’s [EV battery] cell production combined represents well under 10% of what we will need in 10 years.... 90% to 95% of the supply chain does not exist.” www.zerohedge.com/markets/rivian-ceo-warns-coming-ev-battery-supply-shortage

In short, the effort to force a transition to 'sustainable' EVs is not itself sustainable. It is a hoax.

Food and Fertilizer
Unlike Europe, the United States is capable of producing it's own fertilizer (though the escalation in the price of NG has driven fertilizer up as well).

However, last week, Union Pacific rail lines announced that it will be curtailing shipments of fertilizer during the spring planting season. www.cfindustries.com/newsroom/2022/union-pacific-shipping-restrictions

This will seriously impact farmers in Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Texas and California.

Why on Earth would Union Pacific curtail fertilizer shipments in the face of the worst food crisis in 80 years??? Well... the top two owners of Union Pacific are Vanguard (8%) and BlackRock (4.5%). money.cnn.com/quote/shareholders/shareholders.html?symb=UNP&subView=institutional

I want to remind y'all that BlackRock is literally controlled by the WEF (or, maybe they own the WEF... Blackrock is the world's largest asset manager with $10 TRILLION in assets).
neoterra.us/blog/the-manufactured-elites-part-1

In fact, just a few weeks ago the President of BlackRock said “For the first time, this generation is going to go into a store and not be able to get what they want, And we have a very entitled generation that has never had to sacrifice.” www.bnnbloomberg.ca/blackrock-s-kapito-says-scarcity-inflation-is-driving-economy-1.1744930#:~:text=(Bloomberg)%20%2D%2D%20BlackRock%20Inc.,means%20to%20suffer%20from%20shortages.

With impending global famine, I wonder why Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg isn't stepping in to force Union Pacific to prioritize fertilizer shipments. Oh.. wait... Pete was groomed and financed by the WEF as a Young Global Leader. What a coincidence.

Wrap-Up
There are many other fiascos taking place... but this report is already too long. More later in the week.

Germs
Let's get the week started with some fear and anxiety... shall we?

Germs are everywhere I tell you... EVERYWHERE. The WHO and the CDC are back in the news with brand-new threats to distract us from Ukraine... which is no longer distracting us from raging inflation and spiraling crime and empty shelves.

Mysterious Hepatitis
The WHO announced on Friday (sorry, I'm a couple of days behind on this one) that they are investigating 74 cases of a mysterious strain of acute hepatitis in children under age 13. The cases have occurred in the UK, Northern Ireland and Alabama.

All common forms of hepatitis have been ruled out. Get ready to PANIC.
www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/severe-hepatitis-kids-dozens-cases-reported-us-europe-rcna24553

Mysterious Outbreak of Meningitis
The CDC is warning of a meningitis outbreak in Florida. There have been 21 cases so far this year. This "large, ongoing outbreak" is primarily among "gay, bisexual and men who have sex with men".

Not to make light of a potentially dangerous disease, but do 21 cases in a state of 22 Million really constitute a 'large' outbreak? Should we all PANIC?

The Florida Department of health says "Obviously that rings alarm bells with epidemiology and they want to start making sure that it’s known there’s a vaccine.."

YAY! Another vaccine. Get ready for more jabs!

Clown World

My favorite segment. So much hypocrisy. So much deceit. And so little time.

As an aside, my hair isn't completely white yet (I gave up whiteness for Lent), but I'm thinking about cultivating the Mark Twain hair style. I just don't know if I can master the bushy, unkempt mustache.

Happy Easter!
In my Clown World segment last week I reported that the First United Church of Oak Park, IL, gave up whiteness for lent.

I set my alarm for 00:01 this morning so I could celebrate the arrival of Easter and my release from white banishment. YAY!

HAPPY EASTER my friends. A day of rebirth and a day for restoring our belief that we have a greater purpose beyond our mortal selves. (unless you belong to the First United Church of Oak Park).

Mother Nature Has A Sense of Humor
We all know that anyone who drives a Prius is dedicated to saving Mother Nature from existential Climate Change (or virtue signalling).

Well, here's how She shows her appreciation. Smitten by the very finger of God. LOL.

Sidebar - I suppose it could be CGI (no thunderclap?). But I don't care... I had to share.

COVID Continues
On April 13th The CDC has retained/extended mask mandates for Americans flying/traveling.
www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2022/s0413-mask-order.html

In a perfect example of media pandering to the socialists. Here is MSNBC asking Fauci "Why only 15 days". Thus giving Fauci the opportunity to appear relevant and say "We really do need more time".

In a sane world the only possible question would be "Mr. Fauci, why do you still have a job?"

Illegals Don't Have COVID
Ironically (or perhaps intentionally), Biden is dropping Title 42 and allowing another massive surge of illegal invaders into the United States.

Sidebar - Title 42 is a public health policy that Trump utilized to force illegals, apprehended in the US, back into Mexico.

SO, while the CDC is extending mask mandates on American citizens they simultaneously released the following statement:

"After considering current public health conditions and an increased availability of tools to fight COVID-19 (such as highly effective vaccines and therapeutics), the CDC Director has determined that an Order suspending the right to introduce migrants into the United States is no longer necessary"

The idiots at CNN claim that there is a huge backlog of "asylum seekers" at the border who have been turned away by Title 42. But they go on to say that "The Border Patrol made more than 158,000 arrests there in February, up from January when there were nearly 148,000 apprehensions".. Folks, this means that more illegals invaded our country in February alone then the entire Russian army that invaded Ukraine (which is estimated to be 150,000).

How can anyone say that Title 42 is a "Roadblock" when over 2 MILLION illegals have flooded into our country since Biden took office.

Free Cell Phones
Illegal invaders are being given FREE cellphones at the taxpayers expense... at YOUR expense. When a reporter asked Peppermint Patti if the Administration would also offer free phones to American Citizens ( LOL) she changed the subject and asked "Should we not be tracking migrants who irregularly cross the border".

Well Jen, I have two comments

A cell phone isn't an ankle bracelet. You can't track someone if they give it away or sell it for a quick buck
We shouldn't be tracking them... we should be sending them back to Mexico rather than giving them free phones, free lodging and free transportation.

So, as a public service suggestion, if you want free cell service, go down to California, pretend to be an undocumented alien (you can use the name Pablo Escobar), get a free phone. If they ever call you to appear in court (there's already 2 MILLION ahead of you) then just throw the phone away. YAY!

Smartphone Radiation

4/16/2022

1 Comment

Over the past few months, several people have asked me about cellphone radiation or 5G (I was once an RF engineer... long ago on Terra Prime).

Today, let's just focus on the phone (and not the distant cell tower) since the phone is the device you're holding next to your head.

Here are a couple of great graphics from Visual Capitalist that illustrate the best... and worst... cellphones. The data is from the German Federal Office of Radiation Protection... and we all know that the Germans take everything seriously. www.bfs.de/SiteGlobals/Forms/Suche/BfS/DE/SARsuche_Formular.html

The parameter used to measure phone radiation emissions is the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). It is the unit of measurement that represents the quantity of electromagnetic energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile device. The European Union has established a safe standard at 2.0 W/Kg... anything above that is considered hazardous.

Note that these measurements are for a phone next to the ear or next to the body (i.e. in your pocket). If the phone is further away (say, in a purse or on your dashboard) then the levels will be MUCH lower.

Here are the 10 best phones in current use. Note that 5 of the best 10 are from Samsung. (click the pic to read the whole report)

And here are the 10 WORST. The Motorola Edge is kinda scary.

The Apple iPhones tend to be 4x-5x worse than the Samsungs, but they don't make it into the ten worst.

Can cell phones rot your brain? I don't know. (But constant exposure to social media can)
Can 5G control your thoughts? I don't know. (But those Google phones ... )

If you're concerned about exposure then I suggest you purchase a phone with a low radiation level. If you have suggestions for further investigation please comment.

Live long and Prosper.

Assault On The Constitution

4/16/2022

0 Comments

2nd Amendment Theater
I thought that Joe Biden took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution... perhaps I was wrong.
This week he announced his new Ghost Gun Ban to great fanfare and much Progressive cheering. His new regulations are not actually a ban... but more on that later.

Stupidity and Dishonesty
His announcement is based on the same tired and dishonest arguments he has used throughout his sad career. Making jokes about self defense or hunting, neither of which which has anything to do with the 2nd.

Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire
About a year ago, in a previous assault on 'assault rifles' Joe stated "From the very beginning, you couldn't own any weapon you wanted to own,". This is absolutely untrue. In colonial times citizens could own anything they could afford including cannons. Machine guns were completely accessible until they became regulated in 1934. They are still legal but require a background check and registration with the ATF. (By the way, the ATF indicates there are about 638,000 legal civilian-owned machine guns in the US… which is more than the Army).

Hand grenades, bombs and anti-tank cannons remained legal until 1968. Tanks, armored vehicles and flamethrowers (yes flamethrowers) are and have always been legal.

He goes on to say... "Nothing, nothing I'm about to recommend in any way impinges on the Second Amendment," And he adds. "They're phony arguments suggesting that these are Second Amendment rights at stake for what we're talking about. But no amendment, no amendment to the Constitution is absolute." Hey Joe, it states “Shall not be infringed”… It is absolutely ABSOLUTE.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2021/04/08/remarks-by-president-biden-on-gun-violence-prevention/

The Pulsefire flamethrower is completely legal and ON SALE for Easter at PSA. It's even more awesome than the one used by Ripley in Aliens. Get yours today. FREE SHIPPING!

Self Defense
The 2nd Amendment makes no mention of self defense because it doesn't have to. Self defense has been enshrined in all legal systems going back at least to the Code of Hammurabi (1792 BC). The founders felt no need to reiterate 3800 year-old laws in the Constitution.

Here's one of Joe's dumbest statements ever.... telling the public (and his wife) it's OK to fire a shotgun at random, in the dark, at night.

Hunting
The Constitution says NOTHING about hunting (which is a privilege, not a right). What has this to do with the 2nd Amendment??

But, we have Joe reiterating the same tired, stupid, irrelevant argument about hunting.

The Purpose of the 2nd
NO, Joe, I don't think deer are wearing Kevlar... but I'm sure that your NAZI storm troopers are.

The 2nd was promulgated to allow the people to own military arms to defend themselves from tyrants (like Joe). Here are direct quotes from the founders themselves.

"What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms." - Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, son-in-law of John Adams, 1787
"I ask who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people, except a few public officers." - George Mason, Address to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 4, 1788
"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops." - Noah Webster, 1787
"The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country." - James Madison, 1789

The New 'Ghost Gun Ban'
The ATF has released a 364 page set of revised firearm regulations intended to 'ban' so called ghost guns and inconvenience legitimate owners of semi-automatic firearms.

Ghost Guns
The term 'Ghost Gun' is used to refer to a Privately Made Firearm (PMF)... a firearm produced by a private citizen and, therefore, not known to the ATF. It is completely legal, but is a great inconvenience to government efforts to eventually confiscate weapons.

The new regulations are mostly theater since they do not actually ban private citizens from manufacturing their own weapons. The new regulations reclassify many of the current '80%' components as firearms and require FFLs (i.e. gun shops and gunsmiths) to apply a serial number to any PMF that comes into their possession.

The theory is that it will make it easier for Law Enforcement to trace the origin of a gun utilized in a crime. The problem with this theory is that most guns recovered from crimes are either stolen (and can't be traced to the criminal) or have had the serial number filed off (and can't be traced at all).

I actually have no particular objection to serializing firearms... but calling this a 'BAN' is pure theater and it is ineffective in any case.

As 3D printing technology advances we will see a proliferation of PMFs. It is far beyond the government's control. We should be prosecuting violent criminals rather than criminalizing plastic.

This video explains the new regs better than I can.

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)

4/16/2022

1 Comment

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was launched last December. This is truly one of the most amazing scientific missions ever attempted. It was sent 1 million miles into space (four times as far as the Moon) to a location known as L2 (the 2nd of 5 Lagrange points). At L2 the telescope does not orbit the Earth, instead it orbits the Sun but remains in a stationary location relative to the Earth, which is pretty cool.

It is much larger than the aging Hubble telescope.

JWST is extremely complex. The six month process to deploy and calibrate has progressed flawlessly. The telescope utilizes multiple sun-shields to reflect sunlight and keep it extremely cold. The mirror array is so large that it was launched folded-up.

The telescope has been sending back images for a couple of months. The final instrument, the Mid-Infrared Instrument has finally been cooled to it's operating temperature of less than 7 Kelvin (i.e. minus 447 degrees F).

I'll be writing periodic updates as JWST becomes fully operational.

Freedom Of Speech - Elon Edition

4/15/2022

The Twitter Games
Elon Musk trolled Twitter for over a week.. asking his millions of followers if he should start an alternate platform. Well, the answer is in... he spent over $3B and purchased a massive share (almost 10%) of Twitter.

Now he is suggesting that he might try to buy the whole company and take it private. There will be much fun and games in the days ahead.

Twitter's share price has been in the low $30's for the last three months and jumped into the mid $40's since Elon made his purchase earlier this month. This represented an almost 50% profit for the existing investors and created absolute terror for the Progressive employees. (YAY!).

Elon recently offered $54.20 per share to buy Twitter, which would cost about $43B. That's a pretty large chuck of cash even for the richest person on Terra. www.foxbusiness.com/markets/elon-musk-offer-buy-twitter-take-it-private

Elon sounds as though he is actually serious about free speech. "I invested in Twitter as I believe in its potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy,However, since making my investment I now realize the company will neither thrive nor serve this societal imperative in its current form." He went on to say it's "not a threat, it's simply not a good investment without the changes that need to be made."

In other words, he suggests that he might bail on his initial investment if Twitter does not agree to substantial changes.

Let The Games Begin
The existing board is already throwing up roadblocks and refusing to consider the offer. Progressives are cheering their defiance but institutional investors will be pissed if Elon bails and the stock drops back into the $30's.

Saudi Arabia’s Prince Alwaleed bin Talal has already rejected Elon's offer. As an aside, the Prince appears to be a member of the WEF Global Leaders so we can be assured that he has the best interests of Americans in mind. You trust this guy with your Constitutional freedoms... right?

Liberal Tears
Progressives are totally loosing their shit. It's not like they're really concerned that a billionaire will own a media company (Bezos owns WaPo, Bloomberg owns Bloomberg, Zuck owns Facebook). No they are concerned that a billionaire who disagrees with them will own a media company.

Robert Reich sums up the Progressive position nicely. "At least the US responded to Trump’s lies. Trump had 88 million Twitter followers before Twitter took him off its platform. These moves were necessary to protect American democracy." He goes on to say "Musk has long advocated a libertarian vision of an “uncontrolled” internet. That vision is dangerous rubbish. There’s no such animal, and there never will be."

That's right, Robert, free speech and equal access are dangerous rubbish.

Let the Games Begin, Mr. Reich, Let The Games Begin.

More Self-Inflicted Shortages

4/12/2022

3 Comments

Food and Fuel
Although fuel shortages (and the accompanying high prices) hurt; food shortages are even worse.

As I've written over the past several months, the self-inflicted energy shortages in Europe have resulted in shortages of fertilizer. The War between Russia and Ukraine has resulted in crises level shortages of both fertilizer and wheat.

2022 WILL be a year of massive global food shortages and there is a high possibility there will be famines like we have not seen since the Carter era.

A Whole New Level of Hypocrisy
In the face of surging inflation and global starvation, a wise leader might reverse their idiotic, anti-energy policies.

But NOT Joe... his actions are beyond hypocrisy and border on pure evil.

Joe has announced that his administration will ignore environmental regulations and allow E15 (i.e. 15% ethanol) gasoline to be sold. There are multiple problems with this decision.

Ethanol is an inferior fuel compared to gasoline. Ethanol contains less energy per gallon than gasoline or diesel. (It's science).
Because it has less energy per gallon, ethanol fuel will yield worse mileage. Every dime you save at the pump is an illusion because you have to burn more gallons and fill-up more often. Burning ethanol is bullshit. (It's science)
Ethanol is made from corn (aka: FOOD). Corn is one of humanity's primary alternatives to wheat.... the wheat that will become incredibly scarce later this year.

Joe is willing to burn FOOD to create the illusion of lower gas prices during the worst humanitarian food crisis in generations. He isn't doing this for the 'working people', he certainly isn't doing it for the environment, he absolutely isn't doing this to prepare for a humanitarian food crises.

NO, this POS is doing it to get a small boost in the polls before the midterms. He knows that millions will starve because they can't get Ukrainian wheat or American corn. He knows... and he does NOT give a shit.

Joe should be held accountable for every famine related death in 2022-2023 and then put on trial for Crimes Against Humanity.

Here ya' go... right from NPR. Of course it's Trump's fault and Putin's fault that we've had runaway inflation for 15 months. If you believe that, please move to California or Venezuela.

Happy Sunday!!

Clown World almost writes itself... what an insane time to be alive! It is a bit short this week; I'm trying to catch up after our trip to Florida (I love Florida) and then I was sick for a week. I'm back to 100% now.

Abstain From Whiteness For Lent
Damn, it seems like Chicago makes it into Clown World almost every week... it must be due to their incredible competitive spirit. The people of Chicago are on a diligent, and highly determined race to the bottom.

The First United Church of Oak Park has decided to abstain from 'whiteness' for Lent. YAY!

"In our worship services throughout Lent, we will not be using any music or liturgy written or composed by white people... united in the body of Christ with people of all ages, nations, races, and origins." Except, of course, for people of white nations, races and origins (like Catholics, Lutherans, Episcopalians... you know... Christians)
rumble.com/vzskhx-fasting-from-whiteness.html

Easter is only one week away... so only one more week of non-whiteness.

UBI With A Twist
Residents of Palm Springs, CA are now eligible to receive UBI of up to $900/month just for identifying as transgender or nonbinary - no strings attached. This is clearly just hypocritical virtue signalling since the city has allocated only enough money to fund 20 people. But it sure gets good press in Progressive Utopia.
www.foxnews.com/politics/california-city-universal-income-transgender-residents

I'm NOT A Biologist
This story is a week old, but it is a perfect segway into the next story... so here it is.

When Senator Blackburn asked Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson to define what a 'woman' is, Jackson replied "I'm not a biologist".

In spite of the fact that she doesn't know what a woman is, she has been confirmed with the help of three RINOs.

Prophecy
About 18 months ago I wrote a snarky newsletter about companies racing to change their branding in an orgy of pandering. At the time, Aunt Jemima, Uncle Bens, Cream of Wheat and (most hilarious) Eskimo Pie were all on the chopping block. (All have since been re-branded).

At the time, I speculated that they would just have to kill Cracker Jack, as well.

Well, my sarcastic prophecy has come true! Introducing Cracker Jill (just in time for for trans men to take over women's sports). The five Jills were inspired by the most represented ethnicities in the US according to data from the US Census Bureau.... virtue signaling at its very finest. YAY!

I think I might send a few bags to Ketanji Brown Jackson to help her with biology.

The Discovery of Pelosium
Some interesting news from Chicago. Scientists at Fermi Lab have discovered a discrepancy in the weight of the W Boson (note this is not related to the Bisons they have at the lab which are MUCH heavier).

The weights of all sub-atomic particles are precisely predicted by long-standing theory. If the discrepancy is confirmed by other experiments it will indicate that the theory is flawed. (click the pic).

This has caused one commentator on ARF (who shall remain nameless) to speculate that a new theory might lead to discovery of an entirely new element, which would be named Pelosium. (In honor of our esteemed Speaker of the House).

As everyone knows (except Ketanji... she's not a physicist), normal matter is composed of protons, neutrons and electrons. Pelosium, however, is a new form of dark matter composed of entirely new particles called morons, peons and stolen elect-tions.

As with ordinary matter, the peons and morons are extremely dense. The stolen elect-tions, on the other hand, exist in the cloud and are extremely elusive.

The symbol for Pelosium is PU. The atomic mass continuously increases along with the national debt resulting in the formation of numerous isodopes. When the atomic mass reaches 30 Trillion then Pelosium collapses into a black hole from which neither light nor common sense can escape.

Follow the science, folks... follow the science.

Self Inflicted Shortages

4/10/2022

1 Comment

Gasoline
Biden's pledge to release about 180 Million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve has brought little relief at the pump and will consume about 30% of the critical stockpile.

Some Progressive pundits are applauding this measure saying a war in Europe is exactly why the Reserve was created. That is just total bullshit. While it's true that there's a war in Europe, WE aren't fighting it.

Biden is draining the Reserve in a blatant attempt to influence the midterm elections.

The danger is that the Reserve will be too depleted in the event of a real national emergency (like China attacking Taiwan).

In the meantime, gasoline prices in California have hit absurd new highs. They voted for this insanity so I think this is KARMA.

Nationally, the Progressive states have the highest prices... of course they do. Maybe the working folks in those states will take Mayor Pete's advice and buy electric cars. What??? you say you can't afford an EV... then you can walk 5 miles to work in a blizzard. Abe Lincoln did it.

You all need to sacrifice to fight the non-existent Climate Change crisis.

Fertilizer and Food
Long before the War in Ukraine, I was writing about the food shortages that would result from fertilizer shortages in Europe. This is all self-inflicted by their 'Green' energy policies... the same policies that Biden is trying to inflict on the American people.
neoterra.us/blog/self-inflicted-scarcity-part-1
neoterra.us/blog/self-inflicted-scarcity-fertilizer

Since Russia and Ukraine are major suppliers of wheat and other grains, the War is exacerbating the problem. There will be global food shortages this year and famines in poor countries.

Awhile back I predicted shortages of pasta (it's shelf stable) and stocked up. This week, the store-brand pasta at Walmart is gone and only the more expensive brands are available.

At the same time, there is an expanding avian flu epidemic spreading throughout America. Over 24 Million chickens and turkeys have died over the past few weeks, impacting the supply of poultry and eggs. In Iowa, which is the largest producer of eggs, almost 20% of the egg-laying hens have already died. It might be prudent to stock up on powdered eggs and canned chicken.
www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/09/bird-flu-millions-birds-avian-influenza

Again, I don't think anyone in America will starve... prices will go up. The effect in poor countries, however, will be famine.

Sidebar - Please don't go whining that the avian flu isn't Biden's fault. Of course it's not! Random crap happens every year (a drought in Kansas, hordes of locusts in Somalia, mad-cow disease...). In a healthy capitalist economy these events are inconveniences. In the socialist world of Pandemic Hysteria, Climate Hysteria, open borders and general chaos these events become disasters.
