"The biotic theory is that oil and gas drilled out of the earth come from the remains of plants and animals trapped underground millions of years ago.  These ‘fossil fuels’ took aeons to form and we are using them up far faster than they can be replenished.

"This ‘fossil fuel’ theory is, however, just that – a theory. There are many features of the fossil-origin theory which still apparently puzzle some scientists.  So, what if the whole theory is wrong?

"The abiotic theory is an opposing view that has substantial evidence to back it up.  This theory goes back centuries and includes as its prominent champions Dimitri Mendeleev, best known for inventing the periodic table."

"While these ties should be unsettling on their own, the potential influence of Thiel on the upcoming Trump administration should concern every American, regardless of where they fall on the political spectrum, due to Thiel’s efforts to rehabilitate and remake some of the intelligence communities’ most Orwellian and unconstitutional efforts to target domestic dissent."

Speaking of Cancellations

The Japanese are not at all happy with a gaijin who appears to be attempting to reinvent Japanese history by taking a page from the Mary Beard “everyone was Black” school of history. After all, if both England and Sweden can be “nations of immigrants”, why shouldn’t Japan be too? To top it all off, […]

"Giant international fusion project is in big trouble" - Daniel Clergy, Science org, 03JUL2024

>ITER operations delayed to 2034, with energy-producing reactions expected 5 years later

>Dreamed up in 1980s, ITER collaboration came together in 2006. Construction began in 2010 with contracts spread across all member states. Operations were expected to start a decade later. The project relies on a doughnut-shaped reactor, called a tokamak, in which magnetic fields contain a plasma of hydrogen nuclei hot enough to fuse and release energy. Particle beams and microwaves heat plasma to 150 million degrees Celsius—10 times the temperature of the Sun’s core—while a few meters away the superconducting magnets must be cooled to –269°C, a few degrees above absolute zero.

>After 5 years, operators will fire up short fusion bursts of less than a minute with the more potent deuterium-tritium fuel, which will give ITER a shot at its stated goal of generating 10 times more power than it consumes.

"By some strange set of events, Rufus Griswold somehow managed to become Poe’s official biographer (forging false letters attributed to Poe’s hand). He even became the literary executor of Poe’s estate, purchasing all of his personal letters from the author’s impoverished aunt, and then painting the image of a drunken, death-obsessed, egotistical, opium addict for all posterity.

"Less than two years later, Griswold also became the principal narrative controller of the biographies of Poe’s lifelong friend James Fenimore Cooper (whose untimely death in 1851 also smelled of poisoning)- even chairing a committee memorializing the life of Cooper.

"But why would anyone go into such effort as to murder an American literary genius twice… first in body and then in character?"

He's certainly right about search engines deboosting content that seriously questions the approved narrative or falls outside the authorized Overton Window. You can judge for yourself on the rest.

"The April hearing on China's role in fueling fentanyl overdoses highlights the urgency for Washington to take immediate action, following several years of incoherent policies by the Biden administration that sparked the most significant illegal alien invasion this nation has ever witnessed. Regardless of the outcome of the presidential elections in November, lawmakers will face increasing pressure to take action against not only the Chinese but also Mexican cartels and banks to curb this devastating drug crisis."

"But Vance doesn’t want to replace the elite; he wants desperately to join it. It’s his own people he wants to replace.

"The Project 25 stuff is classic "anchoring" or "extreme initial demand" strategy in negotiation, which is a common practice in the art of the deal. It involves making an extreme initial request or proposal to establish a high anchor point, which makes subsequent, more reasonable demands seem less extreme in comparison.

"By introducing Project 25 to be “knocked down,” by Trump he effectively anchored the negotiation at an extreme point. This made Agenda 47, which is a less extreme but still significant plan, appear more reasonable by comparison.

"As a result, the left and other critics were drawn into a negotiation trap, where they found themselves opposing Project 25 and inadvertently supporting the more moderate yet still significant and very similar Agenda 47. This strategy effectively normalized Agenda 47 by making it seem like a reasonable compromise in comparison to the more extreme Project 25."
