Germany is in a state of complete crisis. The economy is totally blown out. Businesses are fleeing and the country is sinking into poverty. RT: The results of the survey show “that the inflation rate is already threatening to become entrenched in people’s minds – with a corresponding impact on their behavior,” according to Jurgen...

The twists and turns of the Nord Stream 2 (NS2) saga have yielded yet another stunning game-changer. It started with Gazprom revealing that the Line B string of NS2 is intact; not only it escaped Pipeline Terror but may “potentially” be used to pump gas to Germany. That confirms once again that NS2 is an... Read More
By bombing those pipes, the United States forced Europe into an energy crisis that is going to destroy their economy. These people are claiming that they are going to be able to survive the winter, barely. But all of Germany’s industry is going to have to be shut down, which is going to lead the... Read More
Germany is the number one pussy ass bitch country. Everyone understands that they are a broken people, having been blamed for a fake genocide, but wow.

Europe is facing its worst energy crisis in generations, with numerous factories shutting down and severe hardship expected during the approaching winter. Heavily-industrialized Germany has been especially hard hit, with more than half of all small- and mid-sized businesses fearful that they might be forced to close, an economic catastrophe of Great Depression proportions. The... Read More

“Not ANOTHER article about the Nordstream sabotage, surely? We all know who dunnit, because we’ve seen the Biden clip and Radek Sikorski/Applebaum’s now deleted tweet, we’ve noted the telling exchange between Sen. Ron Johnson and Victoria Nuland, and because we have the wit to ask the vital question ‘cui bono?’ So what more is to... Read More
The US State Department and Joe Brandon have responded to the pipe bombing, saying “Putin, why are you hitting yourself! Hey Putin – why do you keep hitting yourself, huh???” However, Putin says he didn’t hit himself, and America bombed the pipes, actually. RT: The sabotage of Russia’s Nord Stream gas pipelines benefits the US,... Read More

With another unelected Prime Minister continuing the Conservative Party's forty-year destruction of the British family---sans the rich---and hyperinflation looming above a long predicted economic depression, let us examine the day’s headline on the ascent of Liz Truss. “A Drawn Out Contest” was merely a tepid daily media championship interspersed by a brief commercial break for...

The Same Reasons WHY the EU/UK is Being Deindustrialized!
Why is Germany committing harakiri (or seppuku)? Because the Americans ordered them to do so! Recently, William F. Engdahl wrote a very interesting article titled, “Europe’s Energy Armageddon From Berlin and Brussels, Not Moscow” which was re-worked in Pepe Escobar’s “Germany’s Energy Suicide: An Autopsy”. Both articles give a fascinating explanation of HOW Germany is... Read More
A Swiss billboard is making the rounds on social media depicting a young woman on the telephone. The caption reads, "Does the neighbor heat the apartment to over 19 degrees (66F)? Please inform us." While the Swiss government has dismissed the poster as a fake, the penalties Swiss citizens face for daring to warm their... Read More
When Green fanatic Robert Habeck, posing as Germany’s Economy Minister, said earlier this week “we should expect the worst” in terms of energy security, he conveniently forgot to spell out how the whole farce is a Made in Germany cum Made in Brussels crisis. Flickers of intelligence at least still glow in rare Western latitudes,... Read More
British Pubs say 70% of them will be forced to close by soaring energy prices The price of a pint of beer is so high that pubs can’t raise beer prices to pay their soaring energy bills resulting from US sanctions on Russian energy. When I was a student at Oxford a pint of the... Read More

"Extraordinary, isn't it? I've been hearing all about COP," said the queen to the duchess of Cornwall. "Still don't know who is coming. ... We only know about people who are not coming. ... It's really irritating when they talk but they don't do." Queen Elizabeth II was expressing her exasperation at the possible number... Read More
How Donald Trump Plans to Enlist Fossil Fuels in the Struggle for Global Dominance
The new U.S. energy policy of the Trump era is, in some ways, the oldest energy policy on Earth. Every great power has sought to mobilize the energy resources at its command, whether those be slaves, wind-power, coal, or oil, to further its hegemonic ambitions. What makes the Trumpian variant -- the unfettered exploitation of... Read More
If you’re an oil exec, the world is a rosy place -- and I’m not talking about the pink haze of heat that’s been rising from the burning American West all summer. I’m talking about energy consumption where the news just couldn’t be cheerier. Despite declines in North America and Europe, according to a new... Read More

What sort of fabulous new energy systems will the world possess in 2040? Which fuels will supply the bulk of our energy needs? And how will that change the global energy equation, international politics, and the planet’s health? If the experts at the U.S. Department of Energy are right, the startling “new” fuels of 2040...

Unfortunately, I feel the article delivered a clanger in its conclusion—that... Read More

As long as government did not interfere with markets, technology would lead to an improvement in the quality of life.... Read More
We can congratulate ourselves on our good luck in having survived eight years without any national energy policy. The principal events in Bill Clinton's custodianship of the nation's energy have been as follows: the failure to get the job-killing "BTU tax" through Congress in 1993, the failure to foist ethanol on a reluctant public in...
