“Anyone who thinks that we in the Advanced Economies have sufficient electricity to power EVs (plus AI, too) is dreaming. Total electricity generation for Advanced Economies (has) not grown since 2006-2007. Population has grown, meaning electricity per person has fallen. Instead, the price of electricity has been rising, as wind and solar have been added. As a result, more industry has moved offshore. Other than Advanced Economies are seeing rising electricity generation/consumption.” Gail Tverberg, Kommentar in ihrem Blog, Eintrag “How does the Economy really work?”, 23.7.2024, 1:03 pm

Über Donald Trump 2024 und John F. Kennedy 1963 – Zitat des Tages
“That’s (…) why I think you would have lots of motive on the part of the powers that be to make sure, that this very popular with a major segment of our population candidate is done in. So I leave it to your imagination: Was it gross incompetence ? Well, as I said in the beginning, I consider that to be the charitable explanation (…) But I think, there are so many signs of ‘deep state involvement’, that that should be looked into (…)” Ray McGovern on the Failed Assassination of Donald Trump, Dialogue works, YT, 15.7.2024 [Read more...]
Einsichten einer verketzerten früheren EU-Freundin – Zitat
“Da (ergibt sich) wirklich das Problem, dass mit der Ausgrenzung die Erosion der Demokratie beginnt. Wer ausgrenzt um die Demokratie zu schützen, schädigt sie eigentlich. Wir sehen ja gerade, dass Bürger, die noch keine verfassungsfeindlichen Aktivitäten entwickelt haben, dass wir jetzt ….Stichwort (deutsche Innenministerin) Nancy Faeser, “Demokratiefördergesetz … dass wir jetzt im Grunde hanebüchene Gesetze, auch zum Beispiel (die “verfassungsschutzrelevante”) Delegitimation des Staates (haben), dass (diese Bürger) jetzt zum Beispiel vom Verfassungsschutz überwacht werden. Das heißt, wir haben im Grunde einen übergriffigen Staat, der sich gegen seine Bürger wendet und diese tatsächlich auch überwacht – und das ist natürlich keine Förderung von Demokratie, das ist die Ausgrenzung oder das Ende von Demokratie.” Ulrike Guérot, Die Deutsche Bevölkerung ist Massenhypnotisiert!

Freie Rede von Polizeistaat und seinen Komplizen attackiert – Zitat
“The police state does not want citizens who know their rights. Nor does the police state want citizens prepared to exercise those rights. This year’s graduates are a prime example of this master class in compliance. Their time in college has been set against a backdrop of crackdowns, lockdowns and permacrises ranging from the government’s authoritarian COVID-19 tactics to its more recent militant response to campus protests.” John & Nisha Whitehead, From COVID-19 to Campus Protests: How the Police State Muzzles Free Speech, 21.5.2024 [Read more...]
Europa, Indien und das Ende der fossilen Treibstoffe – Zitat d. Tages
“Now that the continent is rapidly losing its heavy industries due to sustained high energy prices, and to the many policy failures produced by its supranational government, Europe is in the process of simply being outcompeted. And without adequate energy inputs to uphold this complex society and its economy, what is a more likely future for Europe: a high tech one, or the one seen in India?” The Honest Sorcerer, I Saw the Future of Europe… In India, 22.4.2024
CRE-Malaise in ganz Europa, nicht nur chez Benko – Zitat des Tages
“Europe’s commercial property sector has been hammered in recent years by a punishing rise in debt costs and tumbling prices, exacerbated by some offices and high streets emptying after the pandemic (…) The MSCI data showed the number of property deals worth more than 5 million euros ($5.4 million) terminated and for-sale properties withdrawn from the market in the quarter spiked to 110, the highest since 2010 when the sector was still gripped by the fallout from the global financial crisis. The total value of European commercial property sales also slumped by 26% in the first quarter compared to the prior year, to 34.5 billion euros, the lowest since 2011 and the seventh straight quarter of annual declines.” Reuters, investing.com, Pulled real estate deals highest in Europe since global financial crisis, says MSCI, 25.4.2024
Ein Satiriker über Gaza, Covid und die deutsche Hate Speech-Polizei
“Thank God for the German Hate Police! Or heil … or whatever the appropriate salutation is for these unsung heroes. They just saved us all from ‘hate’ again! Yes, that’s right, once again, democracy-loving people here in New Normal Berlin and all across the New Normal world were right on the brink of being exposed to ‘hate’, and would have been exposed to ‘hate’,had the Hate Police not sprang (!) into action.” CJ Hopkins, The Palestine Congress, 14.4.2024
Alasdair & die Zinsen – Zitat
“Interest rates, bond yields in particular, will rise and this is something which nobody at the moment is really expecting. Well there are a few who begin to see it, but, you know, the majority of investment managers assume that the Fed is going to push interest rates lower. Their assumption is, the Fed is actually in control of interest rates … um … I hate to dispute the fact, but they’re not.” Governments Sleepwalking into Debt Trap with Alasdair Macleod, WTFinance (YT), 5.4.2024
D: “Hochskalierter” Gesundheits-Notstand – Zitat des Tages
“Das Fazit aus all dem: Die Behauptung, das RKI habe die Hochstufung – und damit die Grundlage für Lockdown und Ausnahmezustand – auf Basis wissenschaftlicher Beratungen getroffen, ist nicht länger haltbar. Die Hochstufung erfolgte abrupt, ohne dokumentierten Diskussions- und Beratungsprozess, auf Anweisung eines ungenannten Akteurs.” Paul Schreyer, „Es soll hochskaliert werden“, multipolar, 18.3.2024 [Read more...]
Tverberg zu CO2-Märchen und Energiemangel – Zitat d. Tages
“The real story is that fossil fuels are moving away from us. Somehow, we must adapt, very quickly, to this disastrous situation (…) It should be noted that this ‘we-can-move-from-fuels narrative’ has been spearheaded by the International Energy Association (IEA), which is an arm of the OECD. (I mentioned earlier that I have equated OECD with Advanced Economies). Countries included in ‘Other than Advanced Economies’, at best, claim lip service to limiting carbon emissions. Their primary interest is in raising the living standards of their populations. To a significant extent, the fossil fuels that Advanced Economies decide not to use can be used by Other than Advanced Economies.” Gail Tverberg, Advanced Economies Will Be Especially Hurt by Energy Limits, Our Finite World, 17.3.2024
Eine solarphysikalische Kritik des CO2-Warmismus – Zitat des Tages
“Only the sun is having a little motion around this body centre (…) We calculated all solar irradiance for every (characteristic) year for this period (600 AD to 2600 AD) and we (have) shown, that this solar irradiance (…) was reduced in the previous millenium, but in this millennium (up to 2600) it is (will be) increased by about 20 – 25 watts per square meter (in both hemispheres). This is why we have this heating right now and this heating will continue until 2600 – whatever you do here (on earth) (…) We published a paper in october 2023 (where we have shown), that this increase of solar irradiance gives exactly (the) increase of the temperature (that) Mr. Mann has shown – it is a hockeystick. This is caused by this increase of radiation because the sun move(s) closer to the earth during the spring equinox (…)” Professor Valentina Zharkova – The Modern Grand Solar Minimum – What’s In Store, 29.2.2024 (via YT)

Selenskyj dankt mit Schwarzer Liste italienischer Putin-Freunde – Zitat
“Premierministerin Giorgia Meloni unterstützt die Ukraine zweifellos, ich habe sie gerade in ihrer Eigenschaft als G7-Präsidentin getroffen und wir haben auch das bilaterale Kooperationsabkommen unterzeichnet. Wir sind ihr unendlich dankbar. Wir wissen jedoch, dass es in Italien und auch in Europa viele Pro-Putinisten gibt. Wir bereiten eine Liste von ihnen vor, nicht nur in Bezug auf Italien, die wir der Europäischen Kommission vorlegen werden. Wird es Ihnen gelingen, sie zum Schweigen zu bringen?” Wolodymyr Selenskyj in Corriere della Sera, 25.2.2024 (Übersetzung u.a. mit Deepl) [Read more...]
Nicht nur Europa & China: Auch US-Immos im Teufelskreis – Zitat
“Record-high office vacancy rates are threatening to send major cities into an ‘urban doom loop’, where falling property values shrink a city’s tax base, cutting off funding for essential public services that only drag property valued down further. Columbia Business School professor Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh, who’s been dubbed the ‘prophet of urban doom’ for his research on the topic, told Fortune that we’re close to the ‘event horizon’ of that vicious public-finance circle.” Fortune, Dylan Sloan, CRE vet who advised on $8 billion of deals says 30% of office buildings are ‘basically worth nothing’ and ‘just have to be torn down’, 25.2.2024
