MORNING RANT: The Renormalization of Slavery – Great Britain is Backing Off from Forced Labor Ban in Pursuit of Net Zero Objectives

One of the great triumphs of western civilization, especially since the Age of Enlightenment, has been the rejection of slavery in western societies. Human chattel and slave labor were the norm throughout most of human existence. The rejection of slavery these past couple centuries has been an anomaly. Or maybe I should say “had been an anomaly.” Slavery is now being justified by the climate cultists as necessary to save the planet.

Disturbingly, there is a broad coalition of westerners who fancy themselves as being “enlightened,” but they are actually leading the effort to re-establish slavery. As I documented in an American Spectator piece titled “The War on Labor Expense is Renormalizing Slavery, Just in a 21st Century Form,” free market libertarians advocate for the use of offshore forced labor so as to lower labor costs. With a straight face they make the argument that a prohibition on the use of foreign slaves is a tax on American consumers. Where slavery can’t be offshored, human trafficking cartels are importing slave labor into the United States and other western countries. Their human chattel is put to work by legitimate business entities, but through an opaque hiring process involving layers of “sub-contractors.”

Among the greatest achievements of the British empire and the Royal Navy was the eradication of slavery in the western world / in the 19th century. But with the Church of Climate replacing Christianity as Britain’s state religion, slavery is being re-normalized as a necessary sacrifice to please their angry climate God.

“UK Retreats from Forced Labor Pledge” [Politico EU – 5/14/2026]

The U.K. government has walked back a promise to banish forced labor from the supply chains of its state-run clean energy company, as ministers rush to hit climate goals.

“Ban on Slave Labour Sidelined to Meet Red Ed's Net Zero goals” [MSN – 5/19/2026]

The UK has backtracked on its pledge to ban slave labour from its renewable supply chain to meet Ed Miliband's Net Zero goals.

Labour enshrined in law a promise that its state-run company GB Energy would not fund companies using forced labour. But following a probe that revealed that it had funded solar panels for schools without guarantees that they were ethically manufactured, it rowed back.

In a statement, the energy department introduced a new caveat to say that it would only ensure panels were free from forced labour 'as far as possible'.

It came as the Government announced that it would push to rid the energy system of fossil fuels and focus on renewables instead.

The Sustainable Organic Church of the Climate Apocalypse is a demonic religion that first advocated for a reduction in human standards of living, and is now embracing the re-normalization of slavery. Its high priests are actually making the argument that the use of slave labor is a moral good when used in pursuit of the church’s anti-carbon mission.

We on the right often joke that “You are the carbon they want to eliminate,” but with the climate cultists now openly endorsing slavery, they are just one small step away from openly advocating for radical “de-population” efforts in pursuit of their Net Zero utopia.

Too many Republicans in the U.S. and “conservatives” abroad have played nice with those pushing the climate agenda, accepting the false premise that “climate actions” are motivated by good intentions. That’s not acceptable. We must realize that the left and its climate agenda are a de-humanizing death cult that is heading full-steam toward a societal overhaul such as what was imposed by Mao and Pol Pot.

Net Zero must be repudiated and politically de-fanged. We cannot let this get any further out of control.

Nevada Primary is Tomorrow – Vote Jeffrey Carter for State Treasurer

Just a reminder, tomorrow is election day in Nevada, and I’d like to encourage all readers in the Silver State to get and out vote in the Republican primary, and vote Jeffrey Carter for Treasurer. He is one of us.

Mr. Carter is a long-time Ace of Spades reader, and unlike some of his peers in the world of venture capital, he is an unapologetic supporter of Donad Trump. (Mr. Carter writes the widely linked political site “Points & Figures.”

While I would endorse Jeffrey Carter, who is a friend of mine, irrespective of the quality of his opponent, Jeff is the clear choice in this race. His opponent, Drew Johnson, is a serial candidate who has name recognition from the races he has lost. The critical thing to know is that Drew Johnson is a fringe libertarian who admires Thomas Massie. When Mr. Johnson ran for Congress a few years ago (a race he lost) he promised to work with Massie to undermine President Trump.

31 They're also bringing back debtor prisons.

Just read an article that a 59 year old woman is facing 2 years in prison and unlimited fines for the felony* crime of ... building a room in her barn in order to stay near her sheep during lambing season.

See, she failed to apply for the proper permits and submit to the code inspections.
Then failed to comply with a court-order that she stop staying there and further failed to tear it all out until the local council had a chance to extract their fees and permits.

* under common law, any confinement over 1 year is a felony. Traditionally, the worst of crimes.
Which, of course, this clearly is ....

Do I have to mention that she is white, or were you able to know that from the hammer-and-tongs way they've gone after her?

And that she's an actual benefit to society, not an illiterate, retarded, ethnic welfare wog.

36 Muslims also love slavery ... but the Muslims and the "Woke Globalist Elite" have opposite ideas on exactly who will be the slaves. For now the Globalists smile as they ride down the Nile (or the Thames) on the back of the crocodile.

At the end of the ride, the globalists would be on the inside, and the smile is on the Muslim crocodile. Preferably, Western Civ' asserts control before that comes to pass.

56 H1B visas need to be permanently banned.

There never was and never will be a need for importing large numbers of foreigners to do high-skilled jobs in the US.

Worse, it's wage destruction on American citizens.

Let's say there's 100k engineering jobs in the US.
But 80k qualified citizens.
Industry demands 20k H1B visas.
Who then work for less than the average wage.

Thus, a triple attack on the wages of American citizens:
1) instead of forcing industry to raise wages to increase supply, they are allowed to artificially inflate supply.
2) and this artificial inflation comes at cheaper wages, driving the average wage--and pressure to increase wages for citizens--down.
3) by keeping supply artificially high, while inflation continues its march, American citizens--even those already with engineering jobs--get priced out of the market.

All of these--deliberately caused by industry and their government cronies--are then pointed to as proof for the need for more H1B visas.

Trump should propose a $1 million "Equalization" penalty for every current H1B visa--because they've cost us 10 times that.

64 For those interested in a fresh perspective on slavery and the origins of the CW, I highly recommend this book: A Disease in the Public Mind: A New Understanding of Why We Fought the Civil War, by Thomas Fleming.

The biggest insight I got was the impact of the abolitionist's contempt for southerners in general, and slaveowners in particular. The South understood that's how they were viewed, and in Fleming's opinion, if the abolitionists had been a bit more diplomatic, a war might have been averted. I'm sure that attitude would not have been pleasing to the slaves, and we'll never know, but maybe.

The other big stumbling block to a resolution was the South's fear of a race war along the lines of Haiti's brutal war with the French. Fleming suggests that the way to solve that problem was to station large numbers of Federal troops in states as they were sequentially emancipated. That actually sounds reasonable to me. The South wouldn't hear of it, of course, because they also had a financial interest in keeping slavery.

73 Ok, here's the deal: I've never considered any stupid shit like solar panels.

But I'll go ahead and agree to full home conversion as long as three conditions:

1.) every last component is produced with the endless toil of slaves in the most minimal conditions necessary for life and work.

2.) they are all from Western ruling classes.

3.) every step from the rare earth mines to the installation on my roof is paid for from the expropriated estates of them and their toxic metal dust-coated family members. Out to 3rd-cousins.

The other big stumbling block to a resolution was the South's fear of a race war along the lines of Haiti's brutal war with the French. Fleming suggests that the way to solve that problem was to station large numbers of Federal troops in states as they were sequentially emancipated. That actually sounds reasonable to me. The South wouldn't hear of it, of course, because they also had a financial interest in keeping slavery.

islam is for slaves and slavers; it is not fit for any other system.

You are either a slave or a slaver in islam.

There is no holiness, no good deeds, no mercy, no salvation, nothing of good report--only the endless turmoil of slavers fighting to keep their slaves and slaves fighting to be the slavers.

And many American blacks willingly join that system ... on both sides.

The climate cult is based on a huge web of faulty models, questionable data, anecdotal stories like polar bears on ice floes or more shark attacks or more hurricanes or less hurricanes or .... It is proving extreme difficult to stop this train.

It was, however the French (Nappy B) sent a bunch of French troops there, who would, it was assumed, make short work of the locals. He didn't figure on yellow fever and malaria, to say nothing of the high motivation of the locals. In the end, the ex-slaves won independence.

There's still a rift of sorts between blue and red states that has nothing to do with slavery, but is more about the culture each has. In some places that cultural rift bleeds over into racism and violence... aside from the political divide.

A British Army colonel has warned that civil war between Christians and Muslims in the UK is inevitable.
“The United Kingdom is heading towards civil war because the government fears stopping the Islamization of the country.”
This is not alarmism. It is the logical outcome of years of mass migration, grooming gang cover-ups, two-tier policing, attacks on British flags, and the deliberate suppression of native identity.
The establishment’s cowardice has created this crisis. The only way to avoid bloodshed is to halt Islamization now — secure the borders, deport criminals and failed asylum seekers, and restore British law and culture.

Over half the youth believe that communism is an acceptable form of government. I simply believe that if you're going to have serfs, they might as well be privately owned instead of collectively owned by the government.

Depends. Many of the planter class in VA (e.g. Washington, Madison, Jefferson, etc.) knew slavery was evil, and wanted to get rid of it, but didn't know how to do it because of their assumption that blacks and whites could not coexist. Jefferson's analogy was that whites were holding a wolf by the ears, and didn't dare let go or the wolf would consume them.

The Deep South cotton planter class is different, in that they told themselves the story you outline above. I doubt they really believed it, but I guess it let them sleep at night.

That's the point. The reason to do this is manifold:

1) Neutralize Pratt. They knew he had energy and was affecting sentiment- even if they knew he was never going to win.

2) Further demoralize any opposition. They are fine if more people move out of the state. They are perfectly content on ruling the ashes.

We keep saying and pointing out how disastrous their policies are (Mamdani is another example.) We keep missing the point: They do not care, all they want is power. It does not have to work or be moral in any aspect, as long as they are in charge, forever.

How much of this is foreign (read China) and how much is just them being commies themselves (and stupid)? I dunno. Probably a bit of both.

185 For those interested in a fresh perspective on slavery and the origins of the CW, I highly recommend this book: A Disease in the Public Mind: A New Understanding of Why We Fought the Civil War, by Thomas Fleming.

The biggest insight I got was the impact of the abolitionist's contempt for southerners in general, and slaveowners in particular. The South understood that's how they were viewed, and in Fleming's opinion, if the abolitionists had been a bit more diplomatic, a war might have been averted. I'm sure that attitude would not have been pleasing to the slaves, and we'll never know, but maybe.

The other big stumbling block to a resolution was the South's fear of a race war along the lines of Haiti's brutal war with the French. Fleming suggests that the way to solve that problem was to station large numbers of Federal troops in states as they were sequentially emancipated. That actually sounds reasonable to me. The South wouldn't hear of it, of course, because they also had a financial interest in keeping slavery.

191 On a practical note, now that I mentioned caching things;

- Rigid container, enough to project the contents from a shovel and not collapse under the weight of soil. PVC actually doesn't work great for modern arms because you need the really fat stuff and it's a pain in the ass, but any cheap hard case will do.

- Mylar bags, the type you'd use to do long term food storage. The heavy stuff that's an oxygen barrier

- Hair straightener (flat iron), the tong style ones, to seal the mylar

- Clean and heavily oil firearms... stick packaged ammo in some ammo cans for a couple of weeks with dessicant to dry them out. Toss either one (not together) into mylar with fresh dessicants and seal it

- Throw it in the hard container, and there you go.

Most modern waterproof cases like Pelicans have goretex vents that will let vapor in, making them unsuitable for burial by themselves. Old school medical chests have clasps that rust, and Hardigg cases have manual pressure valves but may also have latch corrosion, and the valves have to be protected from being activated. The mylar takes on the burden of a vapor barrier instead.

206 The drive to emancipating the blacks much earlier was impacted by the Haitian issue - and the opening of the larger southern plantation system. But this was the early 1800s. Perhaps the generalized fear of the tormented becoming the tormentors was in the back of their minds, but Haiti was long since past.
But the South's repudiation of the Missouri Compromise shows where this all was headed. The South needed the institution to continue to spread, when large swaths of the population - yes mostly in the North - wanted it contained in the hope it would just die. The South won the first political battle, then lost the second (Lincoln's election), then decided to take their toys and go home. Then, they preferred to allow Grant to actually destroy them than give it up, in the vain hope Lincoln would lose in 64.

207 Amazing how something horrifying yesterday is really not all that bad today.
Nuclear power was the devil incarnate yesterday but now that AI will require huge amounts of power to print all that new money, well, nuclear isn't all that bad, just don't let the Russians design to plants or run the safety tests.
And if AI is not allowed to print all that new money, how is Bernie Sanders supposed to Scrooge McDuck into that 50% he plans to 'socialize'?
CNN chevron from January 2029 "Donald Trump, not all that bad, JD Vance was the true evil!"
