The title I came up with for this article sounds like the title of either a Babylon Bee article or a Dystopian Science Fiction novel.   Sadly it is an honest appraisal of the mental state of the modern environmental movement, especially in the aftermath of this deeply flawed and scientifically challenged study: Humans may be fueling global warming by breathing: new study (nypost.com)

Humans may be fueling global warming by breathing, a new study suggests.

“Exhaled human breath can contain small, elevated concentrations of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), both of which contribute to global warming,” according to research released last week in the UK  journal PLOS.

The methane and nitrous oxide exhaled by humans make up about 0.1 of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions, the writeup said.

The gases are in addition to the carbon dioxide that humans exhale.

To call this nonsense a scientific study would do grave injustice to real scientific inquiry.  Simple common sense is all that is needed to discredit this pseudo scientific gibberish.  Are methane and nitrous oxide lighter than the nitrogen that makes up 79% of the Earth’s atmosphere, or the oxygen that makes up the majority of the rest?  Wouldn’t these gasses remain close to the earth’s surface where they would not affect the climate in the least?  Aren’t the quantities released by humans awfully minuscule?

Logic and true science have absolutely no value to the political left, where propaganda and belief reign supreme.  Worship of nature has replaced traditional religious beliefs.  Devotion to Mother Gaia is almost universal while humans, especially individual humans, are reviled: The Globalist ‘Final Solution’ – American Thinker

As horrific as the Nazis were, today there is another group who seek a “final solution” even more terrifying: they want to eliminate over 7 billion people from the face of the Earth.  In a 2017 interview, Dennis Meadows, co-author of the Club of Rome’s Limits to Growth, said the Earth’s population needs to be “brought back down to one billion.”  The current global population is over 8 billion. 

This sentiment among Progressives is not new at all.

In 1968, the Club of Rome was founded, proclaiming that to be “sustainable,” the Earth’s human population needed to be no more than one billion people.  To distance themselves from the eugenics associated with the Nazis, they re-framed their idea as “population control.”  Aware that their idea would face resistance, they called for global government to enable them to achieve their aims.

Other elites share the Club of Rome’s goals, and many of them trace back to David Rockefeller, head of Chase Manhattan Bank, who was a longtime advocate of global government.  He funded the Club of Rome and was mentor to Canadian Maurice Strong, who ran the U.N.’s Environment Program for over thirty years.  It was through Strong — a Club of Rome member and board member of the World Economic Forum (WEF) — that Rockefeller influenced the U.N., and also Klaus Schwab, head of the WEF.  Longtime Rockefeller friend Henry Kissinger was Schwab’s tutor at the Harvard International Business Seminar for two years, and Schwab credits both Strong and Kissinger as mentors. 

The United Nations has been at the forefront of the depopulation movement for decades and will redouble its efforts thanks to that UK study.

In 1992, Strong introduced the U.N.’s Agenda 21/Sustainable Development, which in 2015 was rebranded Agenda 2030, and Chapter 4 blames population growth for “placing severe [environmental] stress on the planet.”  In 2019, the WEF’s Schwab signed an agreement with the U.N. secretary general to cooperate in accelerating implementation of Agenda 2030’s goals.  So the major international players pushing the “climate change” scheme are ideological descendants of globalist and de-population advocate Rockefeller.

Globalist elites also quietly support the Earth’s de-population in other ways.  For example, the Bill Gates Foundation has pledged $280 million a year from 2021 to 2030 to develop and improve contraceptive technologies, support family planning, etc. (i.e., prevent births).  Gates is infamous for his funding of vaccine testing in Africa, and he (along with UNICEF and the World Health Organization) has been accused of intentionally sterilizing Kenyan children through the use of a hidden HCG antigen in tetanus vaccines.  

But birth control and abortion are a long, slow process for eliminating what is now a 7-billion-people “excess” in the eyes of the de-population globalists.  Mass starvation is faster and more effective, and Agenda 2030 will achieve that.  Read it here, but look beyond the rhetoric to recognize what banning fossil fuels and fertilizers, restricting agricultural emissions, eliminating cattle, etc. will mean in practical terms. 

Does it take monsters to deliberately starve over 7 billion people?  Or just “terrifyingly normal” men like Aurelio Peccei, an Italian industrialist, or Alexander King, a Scots chemist, the co-founders of the Club of Rome?  Or like Bill Gates or Ted Turner, who’ve been buying up productive U.S. farmland to prevent the growing of food?  Or like the “environmentalists” willing to destroy Western civilization through Net Zero to “save the planet”?  Or like Klaus Schwab, the stereotypical middle manager, who would rather this free and unpredictable world be more organized and tidy?  These are the “men in suits” Lewis warned about, who have anointed themselves worthy of deciding the fate of the world.

The Final Christmas Retail Verdict: Uh Oh!

Well the Christmas Shopping season is done and now the “unload product before I have to declare it as inventory on taxes” season is with us.

I’ve now had the full season to judge who is telling you the truth on the economy and surprise, surprise, it ain’t Joe Biden folks.

During the Trump years the Christmas volume was insane. 10 hour days, 6 to 7 day (optional) work weeks and the need for so many people that no matter how many people were crossing en masse south of the border it wasn’t enough to fill our needs. You actually had temp agencies with offices inside our warehouses in order to manage the flow of people we needed.

This Christmas, all of that was a memory. We had three or four really busy days and one client had a big last minute sale that kept us busy enough to not send home folks but the season overall was pretty dead. On the plus side this meant everything got out on time and on schedule so those who could still afford to buy Christmas gifts had no worry getting them before the days of Christmas began.

And a slow Christmas season means a slow returns season. Most people returning gifts usually don’t get them sent till yesterday or today so we might start seeing them sometime next week. But odds are the return volume will be as anemic as the shipping volume was.

That’s going to mean layoffs even with the lower staff volumes, and if it’s happening here it’s happening everywhere else in the country.

I submit and suggest this is why we are seeing the level of um… interesting… tactics and rhetoric coming from the left, the media and the courts and states they control. I have stated publicly that I think the Trump haters can’t be won over but we’re reaching the “even a flatworm knows to turn away from pain” levels generating fear that we might see a margin beyond the credible level of theft. 

Of course given what the media has considered “credible” these days there might not be such a phrase.

I think we have been cursed to live in interesting times, but if that’s the case it’s been a curse we’ve brought onto ourselves as a society.

I’ve hinted at this a few times since our 15th anniversary but today I am officially launching a fundraiser for the site.

Christmas is of course a time of joy to celebrate the birth of the world redeemer, however December 26th the 2nd day of Christmas is a stark reminder that while the souls of uncounted millions will be delivered thanks to the events of the 25th, it is not without cost.

Because this is the feast of St. Stephen, the first Christian Martyr.

Now for those immersed in propaganda of Hamas it might be a surprise that until Muslims started blowing themselves up in their quest to kill Jews a martyr was understood as someone who gave up their live for the cause of the faith without harming anyone else.

Before St. Maximilian Kolbe was killed by the Nazis, before St. Joan of Arc was burned at the stake, before Sts. Thomas Moore and St. John Fisher were beheaded, before the first Christian was thrown to the lions and even before the Apostle James the greater was killed by Herod, there was St. Stephen.

St. Stephen was one of the first seven deacons of the Church singled out for mention in the list of the seven in scripture as: ”a man filled with faith and the holy Spirit “ I suspect, although scripture does not say some ancient authorities suggest that he might have been one of the 72 who were sent out to the various towns to prepare the way for Christ. This would explain his ability to confound the members of the Synagogue of Freedman in his arguments which led to their accusations of blasphemy before the San Hendren.

At his trial he re-iterated the history of Israel from Abraham to Solomon before closing with the words that set them off and led to his death:

“You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always oppose the holy Spirit; you are just like your ancestors. Which of the prophets did your ancestors not persecute? They put to death those who foretold the coming of the righteous one, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become. You received the law as transmitted by angels, but you did not observe it.”

When they heard this, they were infuriated, and they ground their teeth at him. But he, filled with the holy Spirit, looked up intently to heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, and he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”

But they cried out in a loud voice, covered their ears, and rushed upon him together.

Unlike the execution of Jesus which was sanctioned by Rome, Stephen’s stoning was done by a mob in a fit of passion, ironically much like the mobs currently running amok in western cities over Gaza

But note how as they are stoning him what his final words are:

As they were stoning Stephen, he called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” Then he fell to his knees and cried out in a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them“; and when he said this, he fell asleep.

emphasis mine

And by those two acts, the first dedicating himself to God and interceding for those who murdered him, he gave the example that the great Christian Saints have followed for two thousand years. The example of loving God and loving neighbor, even your enemies.

All of us are not called to martyrdom as Stephen was, but all of us are called to follow his example of the love of God and of neighbor, even our enemies.

May we learn this lesson well.
