Now, this deserves some comment. The International Energy Agency has proposed a 10-point plan for reducing oil consumption. Now, first of all, this serves to reiterate what I have already mentioned in a recent podcast; namely, that cutting Europe off from Russian oil is being used as an impetus for pushing already existing plans for reducing fossil fuel usage – there is no serious plan for replacing Russian oil, but rather, only a plan for acclimating the public to foregoing oil altogether. This plan basically entails various forms of imposed discipline on the population’s energy consumption, and that is what the 10-point plan covers…how YOU can stop polluting the planet with your dirty fuel.
So, let’s just point something out here; the single biggest consumer of oil in the world is the US military, and roughly 70% of carbon emissions are caused by industry, only a couple dozen companies, in fact. And between 15% to 20% of emissions are related to multinational corporations offshoring manufacturing and maintaining sprawling supply chains. The average billionaire has a carbon footprint roughly 1,100 times greater than the average normal person – your carbon footprint is approximately 7 metric tonnes of CO2 per year, a billionaire’s is around 8,300 tonnes.
Energy discipline is not being imposed upon these climate change offenders, which means that you are being disciplined precisely to that they won’t be. You will bear the brunt of energy shortages, the military won’t, industry won’t, multinational corporations won’t, and billionaires won’t. Why not? Because it has nothing to do with saving the environment, and everything to do with Austerity and social control.

Normalization. Middle Nation Podcast:(E22)
The #MuftiMenkiftar in #UAE with an Israeli rabbi provides a good opportunity to explore the topic of normalization of relations between Muslim and Arab countries with Israel. In my opinion, normalization is most properly understood, not as a betrayal of…

About 100 companies listed on the S&P 500 Index have already reported their first quarter earnings, and roughly 80% of them have profited above and beyond expectations. Another 180 companies will report their first quarter earnings by the end of this week, and except for some of the tech companies, it is expected that most of them are continuing to make such a significant profit that you’d think the world is not enduring an energy crisis, a food crisis, a supply chain crisis, rampant global inflation, ongoing economic shocks related to Covid-19, and a war in Europe. You would think, how can these companies be doing so well, when the whole world is suffering cascading disasters…how are these corporations safe from the effects of worldwide insecurity and collapse?
Well, they are safe from it the same way that the one shooting a gun is safe from the bullet he shoots.
I said before that these companies are going to be enjoying rising profits while global conditions decline, and they will be doing better next quarter than they are this one, and they will end the year at all time highs. You know for whom policies are made by who benefits from them.
This is what an Empire of Capital looks like.
