The Morning Rant: Buck Shots [Friday 7/8/2022]

Is Europe Heading Toward a “Versailles 1789” Moment?

The farmer uprising in The Netherlands is starting to get some attention. It’s in response to their government’s “climate saving” requirement that livestock be eliminated and fertilizer use be slashed.

By going green and abandoning domestic petroleum production, Europe is also dealing with the reality that there will be blackouts this upcoming winter.

THE EU is on red alert as six nations brace for blackouts over the coming winter [Express – 6/28/2022]

The European elite, in obedience to their apocalyptic climate religion, have reached a point where they have decided that commoners will just have to live without food and electricity if that’s what is necessary to please their angry climate God.

Well then, how are the elite faring? They’re doing just fine.

Remember the World Economic Forum just a few weeks ago in Davos, attended by the most fervent believers in the Sustainable Organic Church of the Carbon Apocalypse? They might think you shouldn’t be allowed to eat hamburger, but THEY were not going to be denied some gourmet beef.

Steakhouse Ochsen, which is famous for bringing punters slabs of meat on a hot stone, said that they were still as busy as usual.

“They come for the steak,” the waitress remarked.

Did you hear that the EU has voted to ban the sale of gasoline powered cars by 2035? Do you know who this hurts? Commoners, who can’t afford electric vehicles.

But what about the super-rich? Don’t worry, the EU is looking out for their Davos buddies who still own yachts and fly private jets.

EU Carbon Pricing Plan Has Special Exemption For Yachts [The Blaze – 01/14/2022]

Corporate jets to escape EU’s ‘green’ aviation fuel tax [Irish Times – 7/13/2021]

Europe is rapidly approaching a “Versailles in 1789” moment. The modern equivalents to King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette are patting themselves on the back for how they will save the planet by subjecting commoners to a cold, dark winter without food. They ought to start reading some history.

Yet Another reason to Revoke MLB’s Anti-Trust Exemption - Racism

A Major League Baseball umpire is accusing the league of manipulating its umpire grading metrics, with a deliberate and racist intent to discriminate against minority umpires.

I believe him.

Umpire Angel Hernandez alleges MLB manipulated reviews to make minorities look bad [The Athletic – 6/08/2022]

Angel Hernandez alleged in a legal filing with the Second Circuit Court of Appeals that Major League Baseball manipulated its internal umpiring metrics to disadvantage minorities, thereby excluding them from becoming crew chiefs.

Hernandez is a controversial umpire, at times known for missed calls and confrontations with players and managers.

There is no doubt that Angel Hernandez is a bad umpire. He’s probably the most well-known umpire in MLB, because of his difficulty in getting calls right.

But I don’t care. He has accused Major League Baseball of being racist and I believe him. Actions must be taken against the racist sports league.

Remember back in 2021 when - based only on emotion and not facts - MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred yanked the All-Star game from Atlanta and moved it to Denver, just because his left-wing media pals told him that Georgia’s new voting laws were racist.

Well guess what, Manfred and MLB are now accused of racism. And as a taxpayer I’m not going to countenance their racism.

Congress needs to revoke the anti-trust privileges of Major League Baseball.

MLB, unlike any other sports league, has a peculiar Congressional privilege – it has been granted exemption from anti-trust laws. Dating back about 100 years, MLB has been given the right to act as a monopoly, with the full blessing of the federal government.

I don’t know about you, but I would not be OK with the KKK receiving anti-trust exemption from Congress. Why then should we be OK with Rob Manfred’s racist sports league having an anti-trust exemption?

And just for fun, here is some video of Angel Hernandez at work.

72 years old at Waterloo, he was a hard charger. [The] Prussians sustained a serious defeat at Ligny (16 June), in the course of which the old field marshal lay trapped under his dead horse for several hours and was repeatedly ridden over by cavalry, his life saved only by the devotion of his aide-de-camp Coun.t Nostitz, who threw a greatcoat over his commander to obscure Blucher's rank and identity from the passing French. . . . After bathing his wounds in a liniment of rhubarb and garlic, and fortified by a liberal internal dose of schnapps, Blucher rejoined his army." And pulled Wellington's chestnuts out of the fire for him.

Rhubarb, garlic, and schnapps is OK but he should've slapped hot iron to it.

Posted by: Jane D'oh at July 08, 2022 11:08 AM (ptqGC)


Really, that's his solution? I couldn't get my wife to go uptown for lunch this past weekend because of all that. It's spreading into tourist spots. The people shooting and getting shot don't care about curfews. I knew that the ones he mandated in 2020 were just a trial run for any old time he wanted to control everybody. It had as much impact on the vid as it will locals shooting each other.

88 Is Europe Heading Toward a “Versailles 1789” Moment?

No? The "Yellow Vest" protests in France made a lot of noise, but did much really change, long term? Same with the truckers in Canada over vaccine mandates. Eastern Europe is still fighting the spread of progressivism and globalism to some degree, but most of Western Europe is still too comfortable and soft to strongly resist. Only the UK, the oddball of the area, managed to break free to any noticeable extent, and I think that was an unexpected and unforced error that globalist technocrats will not allow to occur again.

The new Save the Wildlife and All Other Living Things Crusade is against emissions of Nitrogen Oxides and Ammonia produced by livestock.

This insane anti-emissions crusade will never end until all humans are dead. Because at the end of the crazies' anti-emissions rainbow lies: Oxygen. High oxygen levels can be unhealthy to every aerobic organism. The breakdown of water and O2 in animal cells result in Oxygen free radicals (atomic Oxygen lacking one electron) that are believed to contribute to aging. This why anti-oxidant supplements are big sellers.

When the end of the woke harmful emissions rainbow is reached, I suppose we will be told to kill all plants to prevent them releasing oxygen. Or we'll be told to kill ourselves before oxygen kills us.

186 Extremely skeptical that Euros (western) will "revolt" in any meaningful way. More likely, clownish backtracking and other attempts to mitigate the impact of the "climate" vandalism (re-opening coal plants, exempting things slated to be shut down, even retarded bizarre schemes as in the UK like paying people to go off-line with electricity needs during peak hours).

Revolts, collapses, and "elites" are becoming the sole focus of discussion, and it's increasingly silly. The boring but relevant issues of mass passivity and mass delusion, and collapsed institutions and standards, which alone enable all of the vandalism are the actual point.

EU's a different critter, a truly unrepresentative authoritarian multinational leviathan, but even there, Brexit (or the mini-revolts by select east European members over mass migration, which essentially succeeded) is an option - if the people will f***ing do something about their lives.

We ate at a restaurant in Budapest that served this way.

The stone was smoking hot, 500+ degrees.

The steak was blue (basically completely rare, save for a slight exterior sear) and you cut slices off and brought them to the temperature you preferred.

It was actually quite nice, though I did have a good laugh at my daughter who ordered the chicken, which kind of defeats the point of cooking your entree to your desired temperature.

254 > Like anything with the Habsburgs, they might be sisters and first cousins at the same time.

The last Spanish Habsburg, "Carlos the Sufferer" was the offspring of an uncle-niece marriage, but due to all the other inbreeding the "uncle" and "niece" were actually genetically closer than a normal brother and sister. He was descended from Queen Joanna the Mad by no less than 8 separate lines.

He was, in modern terms, a "funny-looking kid" who had many grievous problems. Which, of course, were blamed on witchcraft.

257 Marie and Louis were 14 and 15 and has known each other for all of two days when they were married. Louis wasn't sure about her, because she was Austrian, a traditional enemy of France, and Marie wasn't too happy to be so far away from home. Neither of them had been been told too much other than go make an heir, so it took them awhile to warm up to each other, and in the words of one of Louis's advisors, Louis was very "clumsy" and frustrated by the whole "consummation" thing.

They eventually figured it out, grew to really like each other, and had 4 children. 1 died as an infant, 1 dies as a young child of TB, the heir was beaten for years in captivity and died of complications at age 10. Only 1 daughter lived to adulthood.

261 They won't, and don't care. They feel they have so much technical, judicial, military and corporate power, they have no need to fear the people. They may be right.

They're wrong by definition, because their power lies totally in their ability to control the systems you just laid out. And when everything starts devolving, those very systems crumble. Which will leave our current elites with exactly jack shit.

Because they have no inherent power. No personal ability to project power. Their one ability is their willingness to grasp power over a very complex, chaotic system. And that ability is largely aided by the fact that no sane man or woman wants it, so these maniacs get their wish by default.

Let these systems start to fail, and it'll be off with their heads in no time. And they will be completely powerless to stop it. Clueless, even.

Usually an image search for artist works yields images that have been posted and re-posted all over the web. So you're basically just getting what some rando, or some pyrsyn with an actual agenda, has decided is representative of the artist's work.

It doesn't take much more digging to find out where the particular artist's work is housed, then go directly to that institution(s) to see what's there.

Because 1) it's not green (it can be easily proved that many of their wish-list items are actually worse for the environment than the alternative) and 2) it's being pushed by large corporations in order to destroy their smaller competitors and make it impossible for new entries to compete.

By calling what they're doing "green" you are conceding the first point (that what they want is good for the environment) and letting the true villains, the state and corporate actors conspiring to destroy the competition and enrich themselves, off the hook.

397 Communities near / in agricultural areas have issues with nitrogen fertilizers contaminating drinking water sources, primarily aquifers.
This has led to newborns having problems with oxygen uptake and thus "blue babies".
The Spokane River Valley and the Willamette River Valley are two areas that come to mind.
Sometimes rural farming communities get annexed into nearby cities and connected to city water and sewer (rural septic tank systems sometimes, also, contribute to nitrogen perking into aquifers) to solve the problem.
