Happy Asteroid Day

6/30/2023

I just discovered that June 30th is the official UN International Asteroid Day. A day to "raise public awareness about the asteroid impact hazard "

Near Earth Objects (NEOs) are asteroids or comets that pass near the Earth's orbit and are potentially catastrophic threats to our planet. According to NASA over 32,000 NEOs have been identified. www.nasa.gov/image-feature/near-earth-asteroids-as-of-june-29-2023

Asteroid Day was co-founded by astrophysicist and famed musician Dr Brian May of the rock group Queen, Apollo 9 astronaut Rusty Schweickart, filmmaker Grig Richters, and Danica Remy, to educate the public about the importance of asteroids (and to give us another boogey-man to anguish over).

Honestly, I'm completely in favor of tracking NEOs so we can be aware of potential threats. But, as a rational prepper, I have to conclude that there's nothing an individual can do to prepare for an impact... aside from evacuation.

The good news is that NASA is developing technology that may be able to deflect an asteroid that's on a collision course with Earth. Last year, the DART project confirmed that crashing a spacecraft into a smallish asteroid could alter its path. www.nasa.gov/feature/early-results-from-nasa-s-dart-mission

SO... this is one of those threats where we just have to trust the government to make the preparations.

DON'T PANIC

A New Tridemic?

6/29/2023

Just six months ago I was writing about the second Tridemic... the globalists second attempt to create a new boogeyman-of-doom. neoterra.us/blog/boogeymen-of-doom-the-tridemic-has-arrived

Six months before that we had the first scary Tridemic with COVID, Monkeypox and Polio on the roster. That one evaporated quickly when Monkeypox started popping up in children and pets (!!)... and the polio was traced to illegal immigrants. neoterra.us/blog/the-pandemic-trifecta

So, my friends, it seems that we are due for another round of pestilence. We already have two scary diseases warming up in the bullpen. Just one more and we'll have our third Tridemic.

Candida Auris
According to the CDC "Candida auris is an emerging fungus that presents a serious global health threat."

The fungus started out as a hospital infection and become resistant to all current antifungal agents. It has especially targeted patients in intensive care units and those weakend by chemotherapy or a deficient immune system. www.cdc.gov/fungal/candida-auris/index.html#

My best advice is to stay the hell out of the hospital!

Malaria
There is now an outbreak of malaria in Texas and Florida. According to the CDC, this is the first local spread of the disease in 20 years, which is confusing since the CDC also says there was an outbreak in 2008.

It's hard for me to consider this an 'outbreak'. As of Tuesday there was one case in Texas and four in Florida.

The malaria virus is conveyed by female mosquitoes and NPR (a bastion of truth) suggests that the current outbreak in Texas and Florida is due to Global Warming. YAY!

There are swirling conspiracy theories suggesting that Bill Gates is behind the current outbreak. I'm skeptical... but it is a strange coincidence that the Gates Foundation funded a program to create genetically modified mosquitoes and the Biden EPA approved the release of millions of these fraken-squitoes into Florida in 2021. You can read the glowing report from the CDC here... after all, unlike Jurassic Park, nothing could possibly go wrong when Bill Gates tampers with genetics:
www.cdc.gov/mosquitoes/mosquito-control/community/emerging-methods/genetically-modified-mosquitoes.html

My best advice folks is Repel 100. The Good Stuff.

New York - Clown World

6/27/2023

While I do enjoy mocking Illinois (in general) and Chicago (in particular), New York has taken the lead in Clown World Climate insanity.

No More Gas
Last month Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul signed a new law banning gas stoves, furnaces and water heaters and banning the use of propane heating. Starting in 2026 new buildings less than seven stories must be all electric. Taller buildings have until 2029.

So... no more gas grills and no more gas fireplaces.

The clowns who legislate this nonsense claim "Methane, the main component of natural gas used to fuel stoves and heat homes, has more than 80 times (the greenhouse effect) as carbon dioxide"
www.cnn.com/2023/05/03/us/new-york-natural-gas-ban-climate/index.html

This is one of the dumbest things I've ever read... you see a methane molecule consists of one carbon atom and 4 hydrogen atoms (i.e. CH4). When you burn methane with your stove, furnace, etc, the result is one molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2) and two molecules of water (H2O).

In other words, burning methane (natural gas) produces less greenhouse gas... it is definitely NOT 80 times more. As a point of full disclosure, unburnt methane (from farting cows) is, indeed, a potent greenhouse gas.

They will come after your charcoal grill and your wood-burning fireplace next... to save the Climate.

Give Us Pizza Or Give Us Death
You may think that I was just being snarky when I said they will ban charcoal grills. But you would be wrong.

New York City is banning the use of wood-fired pizza ovens (or requiring the owners to install CO2 scrubbers). Mayor Adams said "I love my vegan pizza with vegan cheese. And something about pizza, like, does anyone dislike pizza? Everyone likes pizza,"... but he goes on to say that the city must do everything it can to shrink the carbon footprint. YAY!

The Mayor is also upset that a 'pizza activist' hurled slices of cheese pizza over the gate at City Hall... screaming "Give us pizza or give us death". Kind of catchy.

Keep in mind that the 100 (or so) wood-fired pizza joints in New York City release less CO2 in a year than John Kerry's jet spews out in an hour... maybe we should keep the pizza and ban John Kerry.

The Underwater Railroad

6/15/2023

The Underground Railroad
I'm sure that everyone is familiar with the Underground Railroad that was thrown together in the era of slavery... to help slaves escape to freedom in the North. Of course, it wasn't a real 'railroad' ... it was a metaphor.

The Underwater Railroad
Yesterday, as part of a ridiculous rant about the existential threat of Climate Change, Joe announced that 'we' will "build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean"

I'm not sure what this has to do with Climate Calamity, but it was said in the same breath as "We have plans to build in — in Angola one of the largest solar plants in the world". Now that sounds like a terrific investment for American taxpayers.

Perhaps Joe was speaking metaphorically. Perhaps, in the spirit of the Underground Railroad, he plans to use our submarine fleet to transport Asylum Seekers to freedom in India. BUT I DOUBT IT.

Then he goes on to blame the Climate Catastrophe on MAGA Republicans. He completely ignores the fact that his buddies in China were already spewing twice as much CO2 as the United States by 2017. AND China is currently building 6x as many coal power plants as the rest of the world combined. www.npr.org/2023/03/02/1160441919/china-is-building-six-times-more-new-coal-plants-than-other-countries-report-fin

It does not seem to me that MAGA Republicans are destroying the Earth. Here is a picture of reality from Visual Capitalist.

BUT, please don't take my word for it. Here's the transcript directly from the White House.
www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2023/06/14/remarks-by-president-biden-at-the-league-of-conservation-voters-annual-capital-dinner/

And here it is in Joe's own words.

The Scarcity Report

6/14/2023

Scary Scarcity
As y'all probably know by now, our global overloads relentlessly try to keep us in a state of irrational fear and anxiety. To help maintain my Rational Prepper perspective, I give the biggest, baddest boogeymen cute names.

Scary Scarcity (i.e. famine, poverty, declining prosperity) has been a recurring boogeyman ever since The Limits To Growth was published by The Club Of Rome 50 years ago. Though none of their dire predictions came true, they continue to tell us that the world will end if we don't reduce ourselves to poverty.
neoterra.us/blog/the-boogeymen-of-doom-scary-scarcity

Many times, shortages are due to natural causes (bad harvests, for example) but some of our most dire shortages are intentionally created by a dishonest or incompetent government. Let's look at the latest news.

Eggstra, Eggstra
Yikes, there is actually some good news. The chicken population is recovering from last year's Avian Flu epidemic and egg prices are returning to normal. YAY!
www.cnn.com/2023/05/15/business/egg-prices/index.html

The Cocoa Crisis
We have been hearing about the end of chocolate for a few years now... BUT it's getting serious!

Cocoa prices have soared to a seven year high due to a worsening global bean deficit.... that is media-speak meaning "we eat too much chocolate".

Climate Hysterians now claim that the Cocoa plant will become extinct by 2050, because of global warming (It's funny how the Climate Calamity is always 30 years away).

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) the climate in West Africa will become too hot and dry to grow Cacoa (or coffee) by 2050.
www.climate.gov/news-features/climate-and/climate-chocolate

BUT, the Prophets of Doom never think of a creative solution. If the global temperature becomes too warm in West Africa then neoTerra will become perfect for growing coffee and cacoa.

Maybe I'll start a cacoa plantation when I grow up. YAY!

The Coffee Crisis
It seems that coffee is suffering the same fate as cocoa. Coffee prices have recently hit a 12-year high due to El Nino. We stocked up last year and only replenish our supply when it's on sale.

Wheat and Corn
Last year's extreme drought in California has been replaced by abundant snow (and even flooding).

However, changes in El Nino have shifted the worst of the drought to the Great Plains. Experts predict that the Kansas wheat harvest will be the worst in 60 years and the United States may actually have to import wheat.

Of course weather predictions are notoriously bad so the drought could break. That said, it might be prudent to stock up a bit when you see a good sale. Pasta has a really long shelf life.

FREE Beer
Finally, some good news! The Bud Boycott is continuing and AB is getting desperate. The beer aisle is filled with 'Buds' while the alternatives are selling out.

They are so desperate that they are literally paying you to haul their (crappy) beer away. While some stores are selling 24 packs for $3.49, AB is offering a $20 rebate. Yikes, you can make a $16 profit!

If it wasn't one-coupon-per-customer I would buy a truckload and replenish my retirement account.

So there ya' go... Anheuser-Busch, fighting inflation one Bud at a time!

Conclusion
Food insecurity is real, but the response from globalists is hypocritical.

On one hand the UN 2023 Global Report on Food Crisis is dire, claiming over 253 Million people face serious food shortages or starvation.
www.fsinplatform.org/sites/default/files/resources/files/GRFC2023-hi-res.pdf

On the other hand, the Globalists are doing everything they can to make the situation worse. For example, The Netherlands, one of the world's leading food exporters, is forcing thousands of family farms out of business 'to save the climate'.

And Ireland plans to force dairy farmers to kill 200,000 cows to stop them from farting. You can't make this $hit up.
humanevents.com/2023/06/03/ireland-moves-to-slaughter-200000-cows-over-climate-concerns

The Ministry of Plenty was forced to reduce the chocolate ration from 30 grams/week down to only 20. So the Ministry of Truth announced that the chocolate ration would be increased to 20 grams per week. The people went to the streets... to thank Big Brother for his generosity.

TWO WEEKS!

6/7/2023

Hello Everyone. I have sad news to report. The World is going to end in two weeks... on June 21st... the first day of summer.

How do I know this??? Because climate expert Greta Thunberg said so five years ago.... and time has run out.

I recall when the Mayan Calendar reached the End-Of-Days in 2012 and people actually believed that humanity would be wiped out.

I held a pre-pocalypse party in 2012 to celebrate! Prepocalypse??? You ask?? Well... it would have been a real tragedy if the world ended BEFORE the party. SO, the party was scheduled pre-apocalypse. Get it?

In honor of Al Gore, I'm thinking I should host a pre-boiling-oceans party for June 18th. We will have a few days to sober up before the oceans boil on the 21st. YAY! Anybody in??

I suppose that Greta will disapprove of a pre-boiling-ocean party. Oh well, she's not invited.

Disruptive Event

5/22/2023

US Senators are being provided with satellite phones. While I think that’s actually a good idea, the circumstances are a bit troubling. Karen Gibson, the Senate Sergeant At Arms stated in public testimony that the phones are being provided "to ensure a redundant and secure means of communication during a disruptive event."

She went on to say that the phones provide a security backstop in the case of an emergency that "takes out communications" in America.

Here's the story from CBS:

OK... I believe it is prudent to be prepared. The cost of 100 sat phones is so tiny it wouldn't even be a line item in the Senate's budget and is hardly worth comment. It seems to me that this high profile announcement is just another PR stunt to create a new boogeyman.

The public's focus has shifted to inflation, crippling interest rates, unaffordable housing, spiraling crime and homelessness. These are all situations where the government is at fault and they cannot convince us to give them more power if they are the problem.

The pResident (The Great Unifier) has repeatedly stated that White Supremacy and systemic white privilege are the greatest threats to America. He uses the bully-pulpit to spread hatred and fear at every opportunity.

So, I think the new Boogeyman-Of-Doom will be the fraudulent/made-up narrative of impending white terrorism.... just in time for 2024.

I hope I'm wrong.

A Voice For Climate Sanity

1/29/2023

I just stumbled on this video of John Coleman, the founder of The Weather Channel, facing off against Brian Stelter on the Climate Change hoax. The video is several years old but it is even more relevant today when we have the likes of Al Gore and John Kerry spewing fear at the WEF in Davos.

Sidebar - Coleman passed away a few months after this video was recorded. We are fortunate to have this interview preserved.

I'm going to skip the rant and just direct you to the 3-minute video.

Climate Hysteria is the biggest Ponzi scheme in human history.

Boogeymen of Doom - Climate Calamity

1/20/2023

Intro
The Progressives and the Globalists have been on a decades long campaign to create division, fear and anxiety. Woke culture is the direct result of Progressive propaganda.

To help keep my perspective, I have given the main fear campaigns cute names as the "Boogeymen of Doom". A few of my favorites:

Scary Scarcity (aka Famine)
Fauci Flu (aka Pestilence)
Fearsome Fallout (aka War)
Climate Calamity (aka Death)

I've been writing about these topics for almost three years now so I won't go into another long rant on the Climate Change hoax. That said, the Global Aristocrats of the WEF are having their annual meeting in Davos to decide our future, so it's time for a brief update.

The Propaganda of Fear vs the Voice of Reason
I offer you two brief videos to illustrate the contrast between mass psychosis and rational thought. The first is Al Gore's recent rant at the WEF (after he gets out of his fuel guzzling private jet). Did you know that the oceans are boiling??

Now, I urge you to watch the second video delivered by Konstantin Kisin at Oxford. This is the voice of rational thinking.

The Boogeymen of Doom - Threats on the High Seas

1/12/2023

This morning, (January 12th) the Commander of the mighty Iranian Navy threatened to send their 'fleet' to the Panama Canal. Projecting their power to the very shores of America. "Our interests and resources in the sea are very vast, and wherever we feel threatened, our fleet is present. "

This type of saber-rattling would be comical if the United States wasn't busy destroying itself. China is encouraging pip-squeak Iran to mock Joe Biden and heap ridicule upon the most incompetent American Administration of the past 100 years. (Perhaps even longer but I feel compelled to draw the line at Woodrow Wilson).

In point of fact, the United States Navy remains, by far, the most powerful Navy that has ever existed. Even at the peak of it's global empire, the British Navy never possessed such overwhelming power over ALL of its adversaries.

I do not make this statement lightly. We know, the Chinese Navy now has more ships than the United States but they are much smaller.

In terms of 'tonnage', the measure of actual capability, the United States Navy is still larger than the next 13 nations combined (and half of those are our allies, or alleged allies). BTW,. Iran doesn't make it into that list... it is somewhere around number 18 or 20.... depending on how many of their own ships they have grounded or sunk recently. meaww.com/iran-destroyer-missile-hits-own-warship-gulf-of-oman-exercises-feared-dead

The picture below shows an American Strike Group. By itself it can rival any nation on Earth (except China in its own waters). AND... There are TEN more just like it.
