Climate Lunatics Warn Of World Wide Societal Breakdown

By William Teach October 30, 2023 – 3:00 pm

At what point does their scaremongering, their apoplexy, just become too much for people to even take them seriously? Kinda like with Miley Cyrus when she just ramped up the insane. Do you hear much about her anymore?

Alarmists Threaten ‘Worldwide Societal Breakdown’ from Climate Crisis

A group of climate researchers warned this week that billions of people could find themselves in uninhabitable conditions by the year 2100 thanks to climate change.

“By the end of this century, an estimated 3 to 6 billion individuals — approximately one-third to one-half of the global population — might find themselves confined beyond the livable region, encountering severe heat, limited food availability, and elevated mortality rates because of the effects of climate change,” the authors wrote in their “2023 state of the climate report” published in BioScience.

The researchers, led by Oregon-based climate activists William J. Ripple and Christopher Wolf, stated that the effects of global warming “are progressively more severe, and possibilities such as a worldwide societal breakdown are feasible and dangerously underexplored.”

“Big problems need big solutions,” the authors declared. “Therefore, we must shift our perspective on the climate emergency from being just an isolated environmental issue to a systemic, existential threat.”

This sounds totally sciencey, right? If people in your life start getting hysterical, over-yammering about conspiracy theories, going all doom and gloom, do you start tuning them out? Staying away from them? I do.

But, hey, we can fix this with a tax and taking away all your life choices.

SCNY Creates Office To Send Illegal Aliens Packing

By William Teach October 30, 2023 – 10:30 am

Remind me again: New York City is a self named sanctuary city, right? Going all the way to 1989 and mayor Ed Koch, they have declared themselves cities which love illegals and refuse to wirk with federal authorities like ICE. They let illegals, ones they know are very bad people, who go on to commit more heinous crimes. But, now that they’re over-run with illegals, but, not as much as border towns, they aren’t quite as accepting

New York City sets up office to give migrants one-way tickets out of town

New York City is intensifying efforts to transport migrants out of the city as its shelter system reaches capacity, setting up a dedicated office to provide asylum-seekers with free, one-way tickets to anywhere in the world.

City Hall confirmed the establishment of a new “reticketing center” in Manhattan as its latest bid to ease pressure on its shelters and finances following the arrival of more than 130,000 asylum-seekers since last year.

Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, has described the situation as a crisis and has begun to warn that shelters are so full that migrants will soon be forced onto the street as winter approaches.

“I cannot say this enough. You know, we are out of the room,” he told reporters this week. “And it’s not ‘if’ people will be sleeping on the streets, it’s when. We are at full capacity.”

The city’s plan to offer migrants transportation builds upon previous efforts to send the asylum-seekers elsewhere, though the establishment of the dedicated reticketing center marks a renewed emphasis on the strategy.

That ticket should be to somewhere outside the U.S. Or other Democratic party run cities, preferably ones which have declared themselves sanctuary jurisdictions. How about Albany, the capital of NY, which also declared itself a sanctuary? It’s just another case of Democrats supporting something in theory, but, not happy when forced to practice their beliefs.

Study: Rise Of EVs Will Lead To More Road Congestion

By William Teach October 30, 2023 – 7:00 am

Hmm, could this be true?

Electric cars to prompt more traffic jams, government report warns

The rise of electric cars will cause an increase in traffic jams across the country, new analysis conducted by the Government shows.

The revelation has emerged as part of research into the benefits of EVs, which are set to account for four in every five vehicles sold in the UK by the end of the decade.

A surge in congestion across Britain’s roads will be fuelled by the reduced running cost of EVs, the Department for Transport found, which will lead to drivers covering more miles.

The report, published late last week, estimates that the cost of congestion will be £78bn over the next 50 years – which is higher than previous predictions of £52bn in March.

It also estimates that EVs will soon cost an average of four pence per kilometre to run, compared to almost 10p for cars with combustion engines.

This will create a “rebound effect” as motorists will be happy to drive more given the prospect of cheaper mileage.

On the face of it, that makes sense. It’s just like how people will travel more when gas prices are down. But, not that much more. It’s actually more like people drive less when energy prices go up, which is what will happen because there just isn’t enough energy production to charge these vehicles. Will people drive more in the UK rather than taking some sort of public transportation as usual?

However, there’s one big fallacy here: that people will be able to afford the vehicles. Eventually, EVs might be in a range where the middle and working classes can afford an EV, perhaps even a new one. They will still most likely not be able to go far, not unless there’s a big breakthrough that is cost-effective. But, how long will it take to get there? 10 years? 20? All while the Government is forcing citizens to get out of petrol vehicles, and expecting massive numbers to be sold by 2035, mostly ending the sale of petrol vehicles (except for the rich folks and government officials, of course, because that’s the way this works).

The government report said that because zero-emissions vehicles have lower running costs than petrol and diesel equivalents, “there may be a resultant increase in miles driven.”

However, it added that an increased number of traffic jams could ultimately deter drivers from making some journeys.

Nah. It’s the inability to be able to afford the vehicles. Get them charged. And let’s not forget that insurance and repair costs are way higher. Oh, and they get totaled out by insurance companies a lot quicker than petrol/diesel vehicles, which means a lot more ending up in salvage yards faster.

Oh, and lots of them will be sitting there charging and waiting to get to a charger, because it will look like a line waiting for gas in the 70’s, hence, they won’t be on the road.

Brandon Admin Threatens To Stop Rifle Sales To Israel

By William Teach October 30, 2023 – 6:45 am

He’s upset that “civilians” were being given rifles. You know, the exact people the terrorists from Gaza attack

US threatens to stop supplying rifles to Israel

Biden Brain SlugThe US has threatened to stop supplying rifles to Israel after their national security minister was seen handing them out to civilians.

The diplomatic spat was prompted by images on social media of Itamar Ben-Gvir giving rifles to community security squads across the country, according to Israel’s daily Haaretz.

The images appeared to show Mr Ben-Gvir distributing the arms at political events in Bnei Brak and El’ad, two towns near Tel Aviv.

After several days of diplomatic exchanges, Israel committed to distributing the weapons only through its police or army, although politicians can be present when they are handed out.

Since the start of the war with Hamas, Israel has set up hundreds of volunteer security squads and has been arming them in view of possible unrest in Palestinian communities.

Most likely, every single person being given a rifle has served in the Israeli military, since a term of service for almost every Israeli citizen (except Arabs). These people are working as squads to provide local security, since Muslim terrorists love to attack civilians. Kill them, rape them, torture them, behead them. These are not civilians per se, they are former soldiers with training. Biden doesn’t want civilians to have the ability to protect themselves in the US, and also in Israel.

These squads normally provide enhanced security in the country’s peripheral areas and in the West Bank settlements, where clashes between Jewish settlers and the Palestinians are frequent and have intensified since the war started.

Which allows the military to go capture and kill members of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Iranians, etc.

Meanwhile

Watch: Pro-Palestine protesters call for ‘intifada from London to Gaza’

Pro-Palestine protesters have chanted “from London to Gaza, we’ll have an intifada”, footage of a rally in the capital on Saturday  shows.

Demonstrators following a flag that read “Fight for Revolution” were chanting the call for an intifada. The term has often been interpreted as referring to violent uprisings by Palestinians against the state of Israel.

In a clip posted on social media, a man with a loudhailer led the chant “From London to Gaza, we’ll have an intifada”.

England is done. They were warned about letting the extremists in. Funny how the Palestinians say exactly the same thing as Hamas.

NY Times Thrilled To Report Saudi Arabia Warns Of Wider War

By William Teach October 29, 2023 – 7:00 am

Like most Progressives, they really want Israel to back off and just suck up that Hamas murdered, raped, tortured, and beheaded Jews. That Hamas took lots of hostage. They want Israel to give Hamas the win, back off, and let Hamas reconstitute

Saudi Arabia Warns U.S.: Israeli Invasion of Gaza Could Be Catastrophic

Saudi officials have firmly warned the United States in recent days that an Israeli ground incursion into the Gaza Strip could be catastrophic for the Middle East.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., a member of the Armed Services Committee, was one of 10 senators who met last weekend with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom’s de facto ruler, in Riyadh, the Saudi capital.

“The Saudi leadership was hopeful that a ground operation could be avoided for reasons of stability as well as the loss of life,” Blumenthal told The New York Times on Thursday. Saudi officials warned it would be “extremely harmful,” he added.

Senior Saudi officials have delivered even more forceful exhortations to their American counterparts in multiple conversations, raising their concerns that a ground invasion could turn into a disaster for the entire region, according to one Saudi official and a second person with knowledge of the discussions.

Perhaps Saudi officials could help end the murderous terrorist groups, could stop them from attacking Jews, from attempting to destroy Israel

The exchanges came as tensions rippled outward from Gaza. Essentials such as water and fuel are increasingly scarce as Israel bombards and besieges the enclave in response to the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas, the armed Palestinian group that rules Gaza.

Are they f’ing kidding with this stuff? “Armed Palestinian group’? The US State Department, EU, and UN have designated them a terrorist group.

Oh, and what’s up with the Times and Dem senators listing to MBS? Wasn’t he the bad guy for killing Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi?

Scholars who study Hamas have warned that any attempt to eliminate the group, as Israel has vowed to do, could plant the seeds for more violence and extremism, deepening Palestinian feelings of subjugation under Israeli occupation and control.

The solution is for them to stop attacking Israel and Jews. To release the hostages now and every single one involved in the attack turn themselves in. Or kill themselves. Was the US supposed to restrain itself when attacked by the Japanese? How about the Brits by Germany? No one complained about the Russians going full bore after Germany. All the people complaining about Israel going full bore after Hamas should have thought about this beforehand as they supported Palestinians who are Islamic extremists. If MBS and the Saudis want people, defang Hamas, Hezbollah, and the other Islamist groups.

It’s very easy to say this for the Times and MBS and others, right up till it’s their people being slaughtered.

Could You Survive A Zombie Apocalypse?

By William Teach October 28, 2023 – 3:00 pm

It’s an interesting concept. I read a lot of zombie books. A lot. There a bunch of authors I read now, and have read, that have done some great zombie stuff, be it the walking dead type or something similar. Jake Bible had a great series starting in the NC mountains, and has started doing a new series. TW Brown has one of the best, his Dead series and spinoffs, because he made sure you knew it was horror, killing people, even main characters, off. He’s disappeared, though. I wonder if COVID got him? So many more. J.S. Patrick has a great series. As does Timothy Long. I just read book 7 by KJ Jones, reading another by Mark Tufo, who is a master at this. Have another by Scott M. Baker in the hopper, and Baleigh Higgins just released book 6 in her series, I’ll read those last 2 after reading some scifi.

What makes a good zombie book? It’s the people surviving. Not the zombies. It can’t be a constant fight against zombies. It’s like other survival ones, be it nuclear war, an EMP, etc. This is what drove people nuts with The Walking Dead: what happens with people? Can’t have constant zombies. Drives me crazy that some do not pick up on using bikes to travel. And to use a slingshot to hit something noisy to divert the zombies away. Bob Howard has done some interesting things, like, what happens when rats have no one trying to eradicate them and a huge amount of food? Creepy. Oh, and spiders. Yeah, he made it skin tingling horror. But, could you  survive?

Would YOU survive a zombie apocalypse? Scientists reveal how long it would take a plague to spread through a city – with terrifying results

From The Walking Dead to The Last Of Us, zombie apocalypses have been staple features of science fiction blockbusters for years.

But what would happen if a zombie takeover happened in the real world?

In a new study, researchers at Aalto University set out to answer this question – with terrifying results.

Their simulations suggest that if a single zombie appeared in Helsinki, there would be just seven hours to completely quarantine the capital – or kill the zombies.

Otherwise, zombies would ‘inevitably overrun the country’, the team says.

Seven hours. Population of 631,695. That is frightening. In some books it takes a while, in some it is fast. A lot would depend on the types of zombies. Fast? Slow? How long does it take to turn? Is it just bites, or do scratches cause it? Any transfer of fluid? I’ve read ones where the military fights back and loses. One great one, Zombie War by Nicholas Ryan, reads as a war journalist getting the stories on how the U.S. military fought back and won. Most zombie authors try and make it real, because that is scarier. People hiding their infected relatives, which invariably causes problems. Going out and not being careful. Wearing proper clothing. Makes me crazy when people were shorts and short sleeves when they get infected by being bit.

‘I shouldn’t have found it surprising, but I was surprised at how quickly we have to react to keep our population alive,’ said Professor Pauliina Ilmonen, who led the study.

‘It made me think about moral issues like the rights of individuals versus the rights of a population.’

Should anyone infected be immediately killed? Yes. But, there’s always people who do not think it through. BD Lutz, most definitely a conservative writer, uses the backdrop of an America that split off into Right America and Blue States United, and early on talked about how liberals did not want to kill them because they were living(ish) beings. Most of the politics are just background, wisely, but, can you see liberals doing that? In others they do not want to kill them until they turn, which causes problems.

Would you survive? I know how to. What to wear. What to do. Where to go. How to travel. To shelter and be quiet. But, even the smartest and most knowledgeable can die.

Oh, and technically zombies are alive. Be better to call them the walking dead, infected dead. But, who cares. Zombies. Seven hours is a terrifying timeframe, if they’re correct.
