Friends, too many pictures, too little time. Please enjoy. Remember to check my blog roll; if I include links at photos, if you have time, they are there for a reason! This vintage image about usury is... rather intriguing, don't you agree? Same old, same old, and look where we are today. Humanity, we have/are being played ~ to put it mildly.

The prince, the mayor, and the U.S. fish that ate Japan
without question, if we have learned anything, it is that bringing new biology is seriously risky and the consequences cannot be easily controlled. At least Japan is an island and this has limited the vspread. Now imagine this getting loose in Asia. more than likely, we will have to give all this up and accept invasives until it has run its course. Japan gets to keep their blue gills and bass and we get to keep our carp and zebra mussels and yes lampreys. They are all good eating. Sooner or later, we will introduce fresh water salmon into the Great Lakes. Understand that t... read more

* International study finds no evidence in records of ‘climate emergency’* An international study of major weather and extreme events has found no evidence of a “climate emergency” in the record to date.

Bill Gates-Backed Startup Raises Billions for “Cell Programming” Technology to Genetically Engineer Flavors and Scents Into “Natural” Foods and Vitamins
Bill Gates is the former founder of Microsoft, entrepreneur and philanthropist who has focused his attention on health in recent years. Gates has a long history of success with countless business ventures, but his recent decisions have been controversial to say the least. In 2017, Gates teamed up with fellow billionaire Sir Richard Branson in support of lab-grown beef made from genetically engineered yeast, in a move that Gates and his associates hoped would disrupt and perhaps even end the meat industry as we know it. In February of this year, another controversial Gates-funded pro... read more

Cost Of The Green Energy Transition: Who You Gonna Believe, Some Research Assistants From Oxford Or Your Lyin' Eyes?
* Over in Europe, and particularly in those countries in the vanguard of the green energy transition, the enormous costs of this folly have begun to hit home. In the UK, average annual consumer energy bills were scheduled to rise as of October 1 to £3549/year, from only £1138/year just a year ago. (The figure may now get reduced somewhat by means of massive government subsidies, which only conceal, but do not obviate, the disastrous cost increases.) Germany’s regulated consumer gas bills are scheduled for an average annual increase on October 1 of about 480 euros, about 13%, from an ... read more
