Good News, Gasoline Prices Drop – Bad News, Demand for Gasoline Plummets to Pandemic Era Levels
The good news is that gasoline prices have dropped in the past several weeks to an average of $4.13/gal. However, the bad news is that most of the drop in price is related to gasoline demand dropping to the same level as July 2020 during the pandemic lockdown phase. Obviously, $4.13/gal is still a very […] The post Good News, Gasoline Prices Drop – Bad News, Demand for Gasoline Plummets to Pandemic Era Levels appeared first on The Last Refuge. read more

Bloomberg Is Right, the Hurricane Season Is Off to a Slow Start

DARK Matter
*DARK Matter* I want to address this by making a huge leap of the imagination. We do know by making standard assumptions and by routine modeling that we cannot account for about 85% of the mass necessary to produce the universe we see. Yet all our knowledge of physics is based on what we can detect and then obviously measure. Another way of looking at this is that we detect HOT particles. Now what about COLD particles. I already know that we know hydrogen exists everywhere and we can not readily detect an individual atom without reacting it. Hydrogen by itself is a COLD ... read more

Supply Chain Problems Will Persist Because The System Is Being Sabotaged
Krugman is perhaps the worst and most arrogant economist/propagandist in the US, and though he belatedly acknowledged the inflation and supply chain threat after arguing for the past two years that it was “transitory,” he now claims that the traditionally accepted indicators of recession “don’t matter” anymore and that there is no downturn. How many times can this guy be proven ignorant and still keep his job? It’s this kind of disinformation that keeps the public in the dark on what is about to happen.

Lying ‘Biden’ Administration Continues to Cook Employment Figures
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Home Survey for July 2022, seasonally adjusted, measured an increase of 179,000 jobs in July, NOT the 528,000 in the BLS Payroll Survey of employers. Further, the Household Survey shows *that increase is all-in part-time jobs* of various sorts. In the Home Survey, regular* full-time employment* (seasonally adjusted) actually *dropped* again, dropping another 17,000 to 132,577,000. The Federal Reserve Board may use the Payroll Survey figures as another excuse to raise interest rates, but it is not because they are real. Any more than inflation ... read more

US Declares Monkeypox Public Health Emergency – Big Pharma Ready for Windfall Profits, Again
If there is one thing that the COVID-19 "Public Health Emergency" did with extreme efficiency, it was the fact that $TRILLIONS of emergency funds were redirected out of the U.S. Economy to Big Pharma, creating literally hundreds of new billionaires, and increasing the wealth of existing billionaires to record new highs in revenue.

Sitrep USA, August 5, 2022: Washington Now Lives in Augmented Reality; A MetaVerse Which Plays with Nuclear Fire
People who still can think are coming to the realization that Washington has gone pervasively insane. The “there” which is “there” is lunatic. Tucker Carlson and Colonel Douglas MacGregor have touched on this fact repeatedly recently, as has Larry Johnson. The essential lunatic refrain of these madmen is: “reality is what I declare it to be.” This edict is applied to the biological sexes, the climate, medicine and pharmaceuticals, the economy, and matters of war and peace. read more

The United States and Saudi Arabia - Human Rights and Arms Sales
Washington loves to use human rights violations as an excuse to either sanction or take military action against nations that it deems have unacceptable behaviour toward its citizens, and, in a unipolar world, their actions went unchecked.

Nowadays, even bums often can’t be bothered to pick up anything less than a quarter. The US dollar has become so debased that these coins are essentially pieces of rubbish. They have little to no practical value. Up until 1982, the penny was 95% copper.

Marco Rubio has done it again. The man famous for slandering and being ashamed of his Cuban and Latino roots once again made a fool of himself before the world by requesting the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to conduct an “immediate” inquiry into the ties between the U.S.-based solidarity group Puentes de Amor and Cuba. The Florida senator believes it is highly suspicious that Carlos Lazo, who founded and currently coordinates the group, is meeting with authorities on the island. The movement has traveled to the Caribbean country dozens of times with health supplies and fo... read more
Against Your Demands: Lessons From Occupy McGill
In 2022, I was an active anarchist in the two week occupation of McGill University. In the months prior to the occupation, I was part of the meetings that discussed the idea of pitching up tents in the Arts building. Back then, we were just 6 people at a picnic table. I witnessed the successes and failures of the occupation (and of its offshoots at Concordia and UdeM) but until now have not written anything on the subject. Earlier this month, an international call to action was launched: “End Fossil – Occupy.“ In a *Guardian* opinion piece, students are urged to “occupy our campus... read more

On The Hudson River, A New Model Of Environmental Stewardship
New York City - Adjacent to the Hudson River, along the west side of Manhattan, are some of the world’s most valuable commercial and residential properties: townhouses and mixed-use developments like Hudson Yards and much-loved public spaces like Hudson River Park and the Hudson River Greenway, which unite city residents and visitors with the river. But those civic and private investments often end at the water’s edge. Just offshore lie neglected and largely dysfunctional shallow water habitats. The Hudson River Foundation, where I serve as president, has long sought to address th... read more

Flood Maps Show US Vastly Underestimates Contamination Risk At Old Industrial Sites
Climate science is clear: Floodwaters are a growing risk for many American cities, threatening to displace not only people and housing but also the land-based pollution left behind by earlier industrial activities. In 2019, researchers at the U.S. Government Accountability Office investigated climate-related risks at the 1,571 most polluted properties in the country, also known as Superfund sites on the federal National Priorities List. They found an alarming 60% were in locations at risk of climate-related events, including wildfires and flooding. As troubling as those numbers so... read more

Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) walks to a vote at the US Capitol on July 28, 2022, in Washington, DC. | Drew Angerer/Getty Images A recent announcement from Sen. Kyrsten Sinema clears a major hurdle.

SERIOUSLY ILL-ADVISED: We were surprised by what Spielberg did!
*FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 2022* *Amusing Ourselves During Trump: * We were surprised when we learned who the director was. We had put the film on pause because we wanted to check. Its representations had become so odd—and, in one instance, so unkind—that we wondered who had been at the helm of the ship. We were watching The Post, the Oscar-nominated film about the decision by the Washington Post to publish the Pentagon Papers. The film appeared in 2017. It concerned allegedly important events from the summer of 1971. We watched the film last weekend. For some reason, we thought that ... read more

Dems unleash the IRS against middle America
Monica Showalter: Just how bad is the Biden administration's and Democrat Congress's grossly misnamed "Inflation Reduction Act" of 2022? The Wall Street Journal has a shocking lead editorial titled "The IRS Is About to Go Beast Mode" about the particulars of its $80-billion expansion of the IRS: The $80 billion is more than six times the current annual IRS budget of $12.6 billion. The money will be ladled out over nine years and comes with few strings attached. The main Democratic command is for the tax agency to bring the hammer down on taxpayers. The bill earmarks $45.6 billi... read more
