The Morning Report - 4/25/22

Good morning, kids. Monday and for a change let's start off the week with an item that's sure to warm the cockles of your heart, pun most definitely intended.

A Colorado man has died 24 hours after lighting himself on fire in front of the United States Supreme Court on Earth Day as part of what appears to be a religious protest against the use of fossil fuels and in order to bring attention to climate change.
On Friday evening, Washington, D.C., first responders airlifted Wynn Bruce, a 50-year-old climate activist, to a local hospital after he engulfed himself in flames. He later died Saturday evening despite medical efforts to save his life. . .
. . . Bruce is not the first climate activist to kill himself via self-immolation. In 2018, a prominent LGBT attorney named Bruce Buckell lit himself on fire in New York in the name of environmentalism.
“Pollution ravages our planet, oozing inhabitability via air, soil, water and weather,” Buckell said in his suicide note.
“My early death by fossil fuel reflects what we are doing to ourselves,” he added.

The ironies, and the staggering cluelessness of these individuals and far too many who think like they did boggle the mind. First of all, the fact that they had to douse themselves with some form of refined petrochemical, then ignite it using a match or lighter that is also made of some form of refined petrochemical is not "symbolic" of anything. It's kind of difficult to immolate yourself by rubbing two sticks together let alone with a solar panel, windmill or via unicorn farts. And protesting the ravaging of the air by turning yourself into smoke seems kind of a self-defeating act, no?

In any case, aside from water vapor that is released, the majority of chemicals released into the air are - wait for it - hydrocarbons. That is to say, carbon. The very stuff of life that these dupes and those that drove them to kill themselves seek to do away with. Yet before you let out a Nelson Muntz laugh at this pitiful case, there is an alarming element to this story. Instead of lighting themselves on fire, they could just as easily have spiked trees like eco-terrorism-linked Tracy Stone Manning who now heads up the Bureau of Land Management, or, given the proclivities of such wonderful humanitarian organizations as the Weathermen, the Black Liberation Army and more recently Antifa and BLM, a hell of a lot worse. Remember, this is not just Iron Eyes Cody shedding a tear to implore you to not dump trash on the highway. At the core of this are diehard Malthusians who view human life as a form of cancer that threatens the earth. We're damned lucky that the two individuals from the aforementioned link and others like them didn't light off an oil refinery, or a nuke plant or . . . a food processing plant?

A weird trend has emerged over the past few months that seems statistically unlikely. A number of factories, logistical centers, and food processing plants have caught fire or exploded, including two that had planes crash on them. More and more people have noticed and wondered about the trend on social media. Of course, this has caused the conspiracy theorists to come out in force, so one must make a sober assessment without jumping to conclusions. But man, this is weird. With all the negative pressures on our economy and supply chains, and even Joe Biden talking about global food shortages over the next several months, one has to wonder what’s going on here. . .
. . . The suspicious fires have not been limited to the United States. Russia shelled a large food warehouse area outside of Kyiv in March as part of its invasion; a large supermarket warehouse caught fire in Madeira, Spain; and food riots have broken out in Peru.
Is this just an anomaly, slightly outside the normal number of food processing plants and other industrial facilities that explode or catch fire over a period of months?
Just this morning, another one struck. This time, another General Mills plant in Iowa.
This is where it’s important to keep things in perspective. As one person responded on Twitter, there are over 34,000 food processing plants in the United States. . .
. . . Worries have long persisted over fertilizer and grain shortages, as both Ukraine and Russia produce a significant amount of both products on the global market. Disruptions due to the Russian invasion had already started impacting global food markets, as Instapundit’s Glenn Reynolds wrote in the New York Post recently. The World Bank issued a statement in March warning against hoarding. Now, the U.S. domestic markets are under increased stress.
With that as a background, back to the fires and explosions and plane crashes. The question remains—are these mere coincidences? One could be forgiven for not trusting official explanations in a post- [Chinese] COVID and post-election world in which panic porn and propaganda have replaced the news. Then again, one must guard against succumbing to fear over pressures on food supplies and jumping to conclusions.

It should be noted that two loons wanting to go out like Johnny Storm may be outliers, but what drove them to do what they did is part of the official line of the illegitimate junta in power: the abolition of the the petrochemical industry. And that is part and parcel of the globalist drive to rejigger society via a "global reset," a central pillar of which is the sheer transmogrification of the United States as founded into some sort of vassal socialist state controlled whole or in part by an international cabal of billionaires with to one extent or another the participation of the Red Chinese.

That is what's really at the heart of this; truly evil totalitarians who want to rule the world for ideological and/or monetary gain playing upon the amped up fears and good intentions of dupes like the two immolators to achieve their goals. As Lenin called them, "useful idiots." Remember, it's a very quick transition from setting oneself on fire to flying an airplane or two into an oil refinery. We saw how words can kill on 9/11/01. Same deal at the Waukesha Christmas parade or nearly so at a Brooklyn subway station one week ago.

25 SEC rules require public corporations to file disclosures about ANY material event on form 8-A "expeditiously", even if the 8-A announcement only says "This happened. We don't know the impact of it. We will determine the impact and file another report."

Disney has not filed an 8-A covering the impact of possible termination of the Reedy Creek Development area. They are in violation of the law. A shareholders suit should be Florida's next action (assuming Florida public pensions own some Disney stock).

The preeminent example here in Maskachusetts was Marty Meehan, who ran in 1992 promising to push for term limits and promising that he himself would serve no more than 4 terms. It will not surprise you to know that once elected, he realized the voters of MA needed his wisdom and expertise and ran again in 2000, not resigning until 2007, when he left to line his pockets and eventually end up as president of the U of MA.

And - a personal irritant of mine - local talk show host Howie Carr, known for his bluster and criticism of "hacks, bow-tied bum kissers and moonbats," was a vocal critic of Meehan until the one day Meehan deigned to appear on his show and Carr the Fearless turned into Carr the Fellator.

Then the attack begins in earnest on Tuesday. The first couple of weeks - while the transaction is pending and being executed - will simply see an increase in reporting where the Complex underscores the importance of Twitter while also oddly reducing the the number of tweets used on screen. The story will ebb and then they will focus on and highlight other kinds of tweets, to demonstrate how dangerous a radicalized Twitter has become. The state will ramp up pressure on both Twitter and on Musk through his other ventures.

114 It's sort of incredible to ponder that internal combustion engines have matured and been perfected to the point where we're tinkering around the edges to get insane HP while at the same time meeting crazy low emissions standards. And we also have the infrastructure in place so that rich and poor can live wherever they can afford and buy fuel for whatever car they can afford within a few miles of them, and with that purchase drive 300+ miles on one tank of fuel that should realistically cost $40-$70 for a fill up.

And all of that is being purposely destroyed just for the intentional shock and disruption of low and middle class economic well being.

Gosh, no batteries available, and the manufacturer has no intention of supplying any more to the consumer. Who could've seen that coming?

People don't have the slightest idea how prevalent this will be very soon. You can go fill up your car this morning. You can't go pick up another battery bank when you need one. Heck, I still can't get a small replacement battery under warranty for a Craftsman tool.

In Rhode Island and Washington, where vaping flavors apart from tobacco were completely banned, there was an average 4.6% higher-than-expected per capita cigarette sales. Based on these data, the conclusion was that an additional 3.4 million cigarette packs were needlessly sold across the three states during the three-month study period in 2019.

The owner of my local vape shop says that cigarette sales plummeted by 30% after vape products were introduced. My state collects $3.00 per pack tax. I can buy a single bottle of vape juice for $20.00 which saves me $100.00 vs equivalent cigarettes and deprives the state of $45.00 in tax revenue.

Oh, these states will all claim they're doing it 'for the children' but that's total bullshit.

You can get 25 miles outside of any sh*thole and be in the country again, but those idiots don't realize how unpopulated the world really is because they're dull and uninquisitive and have a cargo cult education that didn't actually teach them anything.

It was a disappointment, but hardly a surprise. After the first round, it was clear that it was going to be up to the hard core socialists, who have 21% of the vote. Their support was going to throw the election either way.

So, clearly the Socialists (and in France, they're really communists, since everyone is a socialist) decided that even though they hate Macron, they hated LePen worse. So they put him back in power.

Probably also has something to do with the French loving to have someone they can hate who's in power.

225 Of the five candidates with a theoretical chance of winning this food fight, Vance is in a dead heat with Mandel for the most loathsome, with Timken and Gibbons close behind.

For over 50 years Cleveland newspaper columnists (like Brent Larkin, who wrote the above) openly supported the most socialist of Democrats. Being a Republican, especially a MAGA Republican, means you "sold your soul" and there is no redemption. Brent Larkin believes every lie, supports every fascist takeover, wants and end to free speech, and thinks Republican voters should be jailed or executed.

This is why the Cleveland Press (my first employer, ass paperboy) no longer exists, and also why the Plain Dealer is forever in tough financial shape. Very few people agree with this crap, and yet they still keep Larkin employed. Inexplicable.

But I'm getting the impression that the ISC2 position on the anti-groomer law has caused them problems.

I've received 3 email responses from them now, all the same DEI bullshit. But the most recent one announced a meeting with the CEO in a few weeks.

Waste of time, of course, he's just going to give a DEI speech. But the fact that he is doing this means that I'm not alone in telling them to pound sand.

Also got confirmation from work that they will reclassify my job so I don't need to hold a CISSP if needed.

2. Goals for the next quarter (5 minutes)
3. Product roadmap (5 minutes)
4. DIE shit (30 minutes)
5. Eco-weenie shit (20 minutes)
6. A stage magician grifter performing sleight of hand to demonstrate how people react to stimulus and thus underscore how important DIE is (20 minutes)

No questions. My company burned nearly 1,500 man-hours on a quarterly meeting that could have taken 20 minutes, filling in the rest with Maoist struggle.

Seems that roughly twice as many people wanted ' not Macron'/ someone much more conservative. Are we to believe that that 22% who voted for the last guy stayed home , or instead voted Macron? Huh.

458 Almost a decade - April 17, 2013 - after a massive explosion destroyed portions of a central Texas town, left 15 dead & hundreds injured, the investigation remains open regarding the West Fertilizer Company in West, Texas. AFT Special Agent Robert Elder said it was a criminal act during a 2016 press conference.

The June 21, 2019 blaze at a Philly refinery was likely caused by a faulty pipe. It closed shortly after and bankruptcy was filed in July. The refinery stopped all production in August. (Reportedly, +/- A thousand area workers became unemployed at that time but there was never a lot of drama concerning that fact.)

Refinery and chemical plant fires and explosions are not (and have not been) uncommon in the U.S., i.e., Fire broke out at largest oil refinery on the West coast Feb 2020, etc.

For all the shit Musk takes you have to admit he is one smart mofo. He isn't taking Twitter for 40 some odd billion for yucks.

Trump communicated to the public without censorship via Twitter until they shut him down. Not the mullahs in Iran or the dictator in China, the President of the United States. Losing the ability to control speech is death to the left.

462 Re: Elon revealing algorithms. ..I would bet that there is a well-established process and staffing fielding the many suppression requests from various politicians, parties, Ngos and vips (e g. Msm and Hollywood). Add to it the various ways they constantly massage the 'twittwr trend', hiding anything that is not progessive, promoting things like Lizzy all the dang time (unidentified paid endorsement? ).

But also: how much coordination between other social media to mass cancel.

That is what they need protected, the human effort and coordination that dictated the algorithms.

464 Small, skilled Ukrainian teams with Javelin and Stinger missiles destroyed multimillion-dollar helicopters and armored vehicles. Cheap, armed drones are now ubiquitous on both sides. Do these relatively inexpensive arsenals presage a more decentralized brand of warfare, where handheld weapons take out relatively sophisticated tanks and helicopters? Are we back to the superiority of quantity over quality in weapons of war?

Projecting air power can't rely on big, expensive carrier deployments in a war like VDH predicts. Lots and lots of low-cost drones are the future.

466 After listening to Otis Redding's Dock of the Bay my wife stated that the song was about how much Otis hated hippies.

The verse she cited was:

Look like nothin's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes

You can read a lot into lyrics. My guess is that he was pissed off at the gatekeepers at the record labels. But any way of knowing that went down with his plane.

474 New York State about to get all up in everyone's bidness with various "fossil fuel" bans, e.g. no new gas hookups in a couple years, and banning gas cars in the 2030s. Of course its all a giant money-laundering boondoggle as their "Green Energy Partner" grifters get hundreds of millions of taxpayer largesse while everyone else gets boned and their basic freedom to transact and run their lives gets taken away.

And the New York GOP messaging? "Socialist Democrats Bad Vote GOP." Ridiculously out of touch. Nothing about illegals being flown to every town, overcrowding your schools and bankrupting your local hospitals. Nothing about how you won't even be able to build a house with a gas stove in a couple years, or buy a non-golfcart truck.

I actually spoke to a former head of the NY GOP recently at an informal event. While he seems like a nice and decent guy on a personal level, the total disconnect from a real-world agenda, let alone a MAGA point of view, is shocking. And the current Chairman is worse: another Buffalo "insider" -basically a Kathy Hochul from the GOP. And this in a year in which you have a weak, probably divided Democratic field.

476 Two questions that should be asked of the Dems early and often:
1. How much immigration, combining legal and illegal do you think the United States should absorb annually? Is there any number limit you have in mind?
2. Do you actually want those immigrating illegally to leave the United States?

We know the answers to #2, and the Democrats don't care about #1: but I think it would be illuminating to the LIV/fence sitters if we/GOP actually pressed the left for their answers.

479 NPR gave a glowing review to a novel written by a transgender freak. The book is about other tranny freaks hunting down and killing women who don't share the approved tranny POV. J.K. Rowling is depicted as dying a horrible death by fire in her home.

Aside from the inappropriateness of NPR reviewing this piece of trash book in the first place, you have to wonder about the sanity of people who feel so threatened by the fact that others don't share their POV on some issue that they actually want to hunt down and viciously kill those people for the offense of having a different opinion than their own.

How weak and pathetic -- emotionally, intellectually, and mentally -- does one have to be to want to viciously MURDER people for not agreeing with their lifestyle choices?

HARP weather altering program, Chemical trail deposits (so whatever happened to "acid rain?"

Right after "LightBringer" was lapping up champagne and Wagu Beef with his feet propped on the Oval Office desk, I listened to Levin's interview with an oil industry engineer about the mysterious Florida platform explosion, who stated, "This NEVER happens..."

Afghanistan withdrawal and billions of armaments abandoned to the Islamists, who are also hand-picking the "refugees" getting on the planes heading for the USA...

What was my point? Oh, right...don't jump to extreme conclusions or conspiracy theories or something; it's time for Oprah anyway...bye.

I'm not certain I'd consider a transgender person as making a 'lifestyle choice' any more than I'd apply that label to an anorexic. In both cases it is an error in cognition. That same deficiency in the brain may cause the transgender person to lash out at those who refuse to abide by these new 'rules' they wish to have enforced. I haven't heard about any 'militant anorexics' though, probably too low energy for battle.

486 It saw some red flags the latest immolator had more than climate change on his mind.
he planned his stunt for over a year, and apparently thought it would be worthy way to exit, but the truth issue wanted to exit.

It's more suspicion than knowledge, but he did work for and collaborated with persons overly interested in certain kinds of sexual freedom still out of favor and indulgence. I think he was basically unhappy with life and tortured by this aspect of his existence.

489 Yes, there are over 34,000 food processing plants in the U.S., but the productive output of the ones destroyed in the past year process over 30% of the country's food. It is the PRODUCTIVE OUTPUT METRIC that is important, not the singular amount of food processing plants that is important.
