GREEN ENERGY: Pick Your Poison

Posted on by Helena

New York has Announced that ‘rolling brown outs’ will be the mainstay in the near future.   Simultaneously, the state is demanding Green Energy Initiatives:   1.   all new building and construction must be fully electric, including heat   2. all new cars by electric by 2035.   3. 70% of energy must be renewable by 2030.   Wonderful! So what are they doing to manage the overload of electric needs? 

Pick Your Poison!

New York has no natural gas or petroleum reserves, thus 90% of its power comes from the Niagara Falls hydroelectric dam, nuclear, and natural gas. Of the natural gas sourced, 3/5 of the plants have dual resource capability, meaning they can run on petroleum, and or coal.

There are/were four nuclear plants providing about 30% of their power:   1. Nine Mile:   commissioned in 1969 and 1988,   2.   Indian Point: commissioned in 1974 and 1976, and representing 40% of the nuclear power closed permanently in 2021    3.   RE Ginna:   Commissioned in 1970, and,   4.   James Fitzpatrick: commissioned in 1975.

The average lifespan of a nuclear plant is licensed at 40 years with a potential expansion for an additional 20 years.   By 2050, all US reactors will have reached that 60 year limit.   New York has -0- new or proposed plants.

In other words – New York’s energy capabilities make New York TOASTED!

Wind Power represents about 3.6%-or less,  of New York’s renewable energy.   Many of the wind farms have also exceeded their lifespan or will soon.   The largest farm went operational in 2006.   The maximum lifespan of wind turbines is about 20 years.    Summer months generate the least amount of wind.

Solar is not exactly New Yorks widget given the sun is not strong enough to dent the usage.   With the highest electricity rates in the country, New York is doing little to mediate their mandates.   As usage soars, the price will increase exponentially, leaving many without power… and the persons most affected will be the poor black and Hispanic populations.

So exactly what message has De Blasio and Cuomo left for New York?   Tough Tiddley Winks ‘cause we’re moving to Florida and buying a mansion on a beach while we play mahjong…with Jinping while drinking mai-tai’s.   

The inherent issue?   Wind and Solar are dependent, whereas fossil fuels are transported.   Can’t transport the solar from Arizona to New York, or the wind from North Dakota to New York…

Ten states generate over 50% of their electric energy from coal.   Only 3 states generate over 50% of their energy from hydroelectric. Only 1 state tops 26% from solar.   Arizona, the sun state of the US, only generates 8% of its electricity from solar. Nuclear is aging out quickly, and for many the available renewables just are not capable of generating the necessary output.

So.   WHERE the heckinsy will all the current power come from if coal is retired, nuclear is retired, and you don’t have a Niagara Falls nearby? Not to mention the doubling of electric usage from all the 2030+ mandates?

NOWHERE.  

Because no one really cares. The 90 IQ is the new 80.

As I have noted before, the global oil consumption by country is a ridiculous analysis given it makes no adjustment for exports and imports.  I.e, if you have no oil you import everything – but your carbon footprint is zero!  Consumption is an algorithm based on production.   Therefore, if you are NOT producing you must not be consuming…   Stupidity REIGNS.

While the IQ 80’s still believe that production of cancer causing, land devastation mining is a measure of a countries value, they obtusely ignore the substrate ramifications:   Lithium mining for the production of batteries is FAR more devastating to the land, water, animal, and health than oil production.   Which is why China no longer has the two most precious resources; land and water.   Without these resources they have no food. And the economy can sell trillions of defective trinkets but without land and water it is all meaningless.

Of the top freshwater lakes in the world, one is in Africa, one is in Russia and the rest are in the US. Nuking ANY of these is beyond out of the question!

Even the Greatest Idiot Jester in the world can process that factoid.

So if solar and wind prove ‘unsustainable’ an alternative must be in the making – right?   Otherwise governments are dooming themselves.

There are a number of alternatives being researched today, and while they hail great progress, they don’t do the job for propelling cars, trucks, trains, or planes with much efficiency. And many soak up the number one precious resource – water.

For example: Geothermal is based on hot spring water beneath the earth’s surface.   Problems:   Air pollutants are massive. Salt and minerals from the springs degrade and are dumped in wells, landfills, and other water precious resource depletions.  What is the long term effect of draining our hot spring waters?   NO IDEA.  Can it effect platelets?  Earthquakes?   Or even volcanic eruptions?

Fusion too, continues to have its hurdles.   Investigated for nearly a decade, fusion is a nuclear reaction that requires water.

Bill Gates and Steven Hawking bet on the fusion future.  

FUSION Defined – sortof:   a combination of hydrogen gases – deuterium and tritium – are heated to very high temperatures (over 100 million degrees Celsius). The gas becomes a plasma and the nuclei combine to form a helium nucleus and a neutron, with a tiny fraction of the mass converted into ‘fusion’ energy.

While the concept reads that fusion requires water to form its energy, the oceans are considered the unending source. Apparently studies regarding the effects of water depletion long term on our oceans and ocean life has not been a consideration…  As in no more whales, no more fish, no more algea, no more coral reefs…

In other words – there is NO form of energy to date that doesn’t weigh both positive and negative impacts on the environment!   NONE.

In reality – it is a game of pick your poison… there is NO such thing as CLEAN energy.  To Date.

Michael Bloomberg Would Be King! The Man Behind The Presidents!

Posted on by Helena

Meet Michael Bloomberg, the man who would be King. Behind every president, every powerful politician stands the common denominator – Michael Bloomberg.   From Bill Clinton thru Joe Biden, Bloomberg has been the helmsman – with one exception, President Trump.   The anomaly that upended the Agenda and set them on fire in a spree of chaos and destruction was the institution of one man that revealed their weakness, their Achilles Heal, and their hatred of mankind. That was, that is, their vengeance.

As another Blogger noted, albeit tentatively for fear of the backlash, Bloomberg represents the Jewish Nazis.

Destroy us with ISIS and al Qaeda and then destroy ISIS… and al Qaeda.   Destroy us with ANTIFA and BLM and then destroy the petty communists.   They have no respect for ignorance, therefore they create greater ignorance in a youth market ripe with cult enabling mentality.

Michael Bloomberg wanted to come out of the shadows. He wanted to take credit for all his chaotic destruction and welfare institutions.  He wanted the world to know he was King.   But The People spoke.   And so he was again relegated to the shadow spin when his presidential run was an abject failure.   What better candidate than a riddled old dementia stained man – Biden – to inflict Bloomberg’s complete control.

Bloomberg is behind the rhino’s, the neoconservatives, and the democrats.   He would not appear to be onboard the socialist train and has been quite vocal in his dislike of AOC, Sanders and Warren. He was an adamant opponent to the Green New Deal – until he wasn’t and flipped on slick sidewalk crash-landing in the Land of Oz.   Bloomberg has now become a Green. He advocates for 100% renewables by 2035. What changed?

In various debates and confrontations with Green advocates, Bloomberg’s greatest negative assertion was the his concern that the inability to pass any of its plethoras of destructive measures in Congress made it dead on arrival.

What to do, what to do!   VOILA!   Bypass Congress by inserting the ultimate puppet Joe Biden who will rule via Executive Order.   And no one – not republican, not independent, not democrat and not green will object!  Blumbering Joe revealed this agenda while campaigning in his basement. It was one of his many gaffes.   The media were instructed to ignore the gaffes and virtually everyone who is MSM aligned missed the boat.

Executive Order Rules.   The fact that it is a Dictatorship alludes all politicians…   Imagine that!

Bloomberg is 79 years old, in 14 years span aka 2035 he will be 93.   How is it that the aging men are so bent on a future day in which they will likely be dead wherein all things will be ‘fixed’?

Climatologists can’t guesstimate the weather past an 8-hour window, much less the end date – 2050 or 30 years in the future.   Politicians succor on what will make them the most wealth – tomorrow. 

In fact, the major solar stocks have literally tanked by 40% or more year-to-date.   Mired in debt, lackluster earnings, fundamentals in twalette water, it is odd given that the elite, the media, the billionaires, the oil & gas corporations all declare their undying financial support…  Unless of course, this reality is a vast illusion.

Top investors in the solar companies are always the same; Blackrock, FMR, State Street, and Vanguard representing 1% or less of their portfolio. Almost as though the investment itself was a shadow requirement to to fulfill the agenda and advance the illusion.

Earnings per share of these renewables is projected to be negative in 2021 and 2022.   In addition, some analysts project growth results for 2022 as heavily weighted as -233%!   Sham. Ponzi Scheme.   This is NOT where the money is.

The major holdings of the titans of Hedge Funds are banks, agriculture, semiconductors, rental apartment REITS, Google, and Pharma.   Nothing renewable – because climate is simply a distraction.

Currency shorts would appear to be the target as well.   The dollar and euro have been prime targets for 2021 against the Chinese yuan and Indian rupee with Blackrock leading the bandwagon.   As major currencies flatten against the dollar, the more closely aligned value gives logic to a ‘global currency’.   To mitigate global taxes.   To mitigate global inflation.

I seriously doubt Bloomberg gives a rat’s arse about anything that doesn’t increase his wealth today.   With an estimated $55 billion, if Bloomberg’s wealth were weighted in denominations of $100 bills it would calculate to roughly 550 tons or 1.1million pounds of weight.   So I doubt he plans to line his coffin or even grave with his accumulations.

Yet, they always want – more.

In 2009, Bloomberg met with Bill Gates, David Rockefeller, Ted Turner, Warren Buffett, George Soros and Oprah Winfrey as part of the “Billionaires Club”.    The purpose was to find a common cause that they could harness in a ‘team’ effort.   They chose ‘Population’, or rather depopulation.

At that point in time, Bloomberg’s wealth had bolted out the gate of the horse race from about $4 billion in 2006 to a straight linear exponential trajectory of somewhere in the $60 billion range as of today.   Quickly elevating Bloomberg to 20th richest person in the world.  No coincidence.

Since their beginnings, the Billionaires club has grown exponentially by membership as billion is passé, diluting their elite and crimping their Closed-end agenda.   It is likely the powers have moved their cult outside of this nom de pleu to retain absolute power.

And now just to heighten the poker game pot of gold – the east coast is facing an oil catastrophe with 45% of the pipeline shut down indefinitely due to a ‘cyber attack’.   Oddly coincidental for those holding shares in oil stocks having divested their lumbering portfolio of solar and wind going  going gone!

ROCKEFELLER’S STANDARD OIL: Rebranding a $Trillion Empire

Posted on by Helena

There are ‘oil reserves’ and ‘oil resources’.   Oil reserves are an estimated number measured as oil that is technically recoverable at a price that is financially feasible.   Whereas oil resources represents all oil that is supposedly recoverable at a point in time. There would appear to be no information on global resources. Could it be because the number is infinite?   Neither of these estimates existed until 1980 – just 40 years ago.   Therefore, any historical classification of reserves and resources is simply a lie. But some scientists just can’t seem to help themselves nonetheless:

So how is this graph even possible?   It is NOT.   It is the translation of an illusion by a snake oil salesman to make us think that we are running out of a finite resource. Why?   TO inflate prices. Because if in fact oil is infinite, then reserves would be a straight horizontal line. And the price would be based on cost to extract without market relativity.

So who was the brainchild of OPEC which determines price fixing based on false algorithms of available resources?   Abdullah Tariki, a Saudi and Secretary General for the Communist Party!

As of 1911, Standard Oil was ordered to breakup into 34 separate entities under US Anti-Trust laws.   Undeterred, the divesture was accomplished by designating a state, such as; Standard of New Jersey, Standard of Texas, Standard of California, etc…   It was as a result of this divesture that the first billionaire came to be – Rockefeller who held his shares in trust along with his brother and 8 others..

In 1940, the Seven Sisters was created as a consortium named for the seven mythological Pleiades sisters fathered by Atlas.   They consisted of Standard ;  California, New York and New Jersey, and Royal Dutch, Iranian Oil, Gulf Oil and Texaco. Gulf Oil was part of the Mellon empire and merged with Standard in 1985.

TEXACO:   In 1939, the CEO of Texaco, Torkild Rieber, a Norwegian, was forced to resign when it became common knowledge he was a Nazi sympathizer who had aided in their commodity/resource needs during WWII supplying 3.5 million tonnes of crude worth $20 million at the time.

In 1952, in alliance with the World Bank, Rieber helped the Brits and Americans sponsor a coup in Iran installing the pro-western Shah.   Thus monopolizing the Consortium as:    Royal Dutch, Standard, and Persian/Iran Oil.

ROYAL DUTCH SHELL:   Created in 1907, Royal Dutch was incorporated in the UK with headquarters in the Hague.    In 1890, Marcus Samuel, an Iraqi Jew who became Lord Mayor of London, realized the financial potential within the oil market. In 1891, he secured a deal with the Rothschild’s and grounded the Suez Canal for transport.

Before WWI, in 1912 Royal Dutch Shell purchased the Rothschild’ Russian oil assets in a stock deal. They sought to compete with Standard Oil ultimately representing 53 percent of the East Indies market, 29 percent of Russia, and 17 percent of Romania.  NOT as true competitor, but as a monopoly in its own right.

During WWII, Shell’s Danish headquarters was confiscated by the Gestapo. In the 1990’s amidst controversy for pollution Shell committed to the UN’s Sustainable Development Plan – Agenda 2030. Since the mid 2000’s Shell has been actively buying various renewable energy companies.

BP:   Today, Standard Oil has essentially been rebranded within the monopolies: BP which was Anglo-Persian Oil based in Iran and confiscated with the help of the coup installed – Shah, ARCO which was originally part of the Standard Oil Trust, and AMOCO which was also part of the Standard Oil Trust. A Humpty Dumpty story – All back together again!

EXXON MOBILE:   As one of the original Seven Sisters, Exxon was created as the bastard child of Standard Oil merging Standard New Jersey with Standard New York and renaming itself Esso. Later Esso acquired Mobile.

CHEVRON: Chevron earlier name was Star Oil which was purchased by Standard Oil in 1900 and ultimately became Standard Oil California in the Rockefeller breakup. Chevron created ARAMCO in Saudi Arabia that was eventually wholly owned by the Saudi’s as of 1980.   Chevron bought Persian Oil in 1984

TOTAL:   A French conglomerate, after WWI as compensation for war damages, France was given 25% of Turkish Petroleum Company.   Iraq Petroleum Company was also gifted a portion of Turkish Petroleum which was owned by Anglo-Persian Oil (aka Standard) and Royal Dutch Shell before being nationalized.

Standard Oil still exists albeit within 3 of the original 7 consortiums;  BP, Chevron, Exxon.   Rockefeller retained his shares in all these transacted companies.

The Seven Sisters consortium was replaced by OPEC in 1960 eliminating US and European membership. OPEC accounts for 44% of global production and 73% of oil ‘reserves’. OEPC’s Secretary General is Nigerian. Their top 4 oil and gas companies are; Shell, Chevron, Total and Exxon.   The Republic of Congo oil and gas is produced through Alteo, a Nigerian Company, Perenco, a French company, and Total in partnership with Chevron. And Gabon in central Africa which utilizes Perenco and total. The other 10 Middle East members of OPEC have nationalized their entire oil and gas industry, which would explain why Africa is open country for oil colonization..

While nationalized oil companies have seemingly chosen to avoid the renewable market altogether, The major forces of oil, whether for appearances or for investment proclaim their commitment to Clean and Green!    Oddly, despite claiming investments in renewables, the financial statements of these Goliath’s of oil & gas make no reference to any revenues and expenses of ANY stipulated renewals.   Could it be an illusion?    

Given it would appear that the wealthiest family in the world, the Rockefellers, are heavily saturated in Petrol companies and banks – it would seem highly unlikely that they would be willing to simply divest their $trillions.

And given that the socialist/Marxists are not nearly as endowed, are they being set up to be the true recipients of genocide?   As the world observes BLM/ANTIFA anarchy murdering chaos, the moneymen watch.   

   Given that CoVid and it’s unapproved, untrialed vaccine would seem to target those with a compromised immune system – and most Africans are purportedly thus at risk, the prospect of a planned genocide reeks!   At the hands of OIL.

 

FOSSIL FUELS: Neither “Fossil or Nonrenewable”! An Infinite Source of Energy

Posted on by Helena

The ‘theory’ that we have been led to believe is that fossil fuels such as oil and gas are nonrenewable sources that form from decayed plants and dinosaurs.   In 1870 John D. Rockefeller founded Standard oil company. It became the world’s largest and first multinational conglomeration which earned Rockefeller the prestige as being the first billionaire.   In 1892, John D. Rockefeller made the stipulation that these sources of energy, oil and gas, were nonrenewable and scarce so as to justify an inflated value and create for himself vast wealth!

Today, the world holds to this theory despite there being overwhelming evidence that this entire postulation is false.

Solar, wind, and water are termed renewable sources and thereby superior to fossil fuels.   But what many overlook is threefold consequences:   1. Solar and wind require created capture fixtures such as panels and windmills. Both of these capture sources require degradation of large swathes of land to manufacture.   2.   These capture fixtures have a limited lifespan – ie roughly 20 years before they fail and are hauled to the great land grave, ie more land degradation.   3.   The electromagnetic fields created by the windmills are toxic.   While studies are nonexistent on humans, a number of studies have determined the fields have a massively negative impact on marine life.

And thus, once again, global populations become the guinea pig experiment.   Will the next generation living close to turbines be mutants?   Don’t know because we are the trial.  Similar to the CoVid Vaccine experiment.  We are the Phase IV Trial. 

After power plants were built in suburban areas near homes, 30 years later the evidence of the human experiment showed:   “There are numerous studies that link living close to power lines with terrible health conditions and diseases. Sadly cancer is one of them, including childhood leukaemia.”

Clean, renewable, abundant energy is likely a myth.   And the energy companies are much like Big Pharma;   create a new disease, don’t find a cure, and then manufacture countless drugs that will cause massive side effects for which more drugs will be necessary.   This same cycle is now evident in the push for Green solar and wind.

In essence these renewables are in fact pollutants, just of a different kind.   So we are fixing the carbon pollutant with another medication which will cause more degradation of earth, fewer trees and MORE CARBON!

In 1999, The Deep Hot Biosphere, The Myth of Fossil Fuels was published by Thomas Gold.   He argued that earths core layer is not composed of decayed plants and animals at all. Instead our core is comprised of heat loving bacteria which thrive on hydrocarbon, and that hydrocarbon is part and parcel of creation earth. These hydrocarbons are what earth is made from and these hydrocarbons constantly replenish naturally.

Thomas Gold is not the only esteemed scientist to upend the Rockefeller theory.

Freeman Dyson, a physicist, mathematician, and statistician who worked in quantum physics theory , astrophysics, etc… postulated that :

“The scientific consensus that carbon dioxide (CO2) is a material driver of planetary temperature increases is false. He believed that some of the effects of increased CO2 levels are favourable and not taken into account by climate scientists, such as increased agricultural yield, and further that the positive benefits of CO2 likely outweigh the negative effects. He was skeptical about the simulation models used to predict climate change, arguing that political efforts to reduce causes of climate change distract from other global problems that should take priority.”

While Dyson did advocate for finding alternate energy sources, he felt that climate change supporters were a cult pushing for reform without benefit. As in simply another means of making money on false data.

Russian scientist, Dr. Vladimir Kutcherov supported Thomas Gold’s theory.   His experiments support the theory that hydrocarbons are naturally occurring elements of our planet.   They are constantly being generated and replenished as we use them. These carbons are at the core of earth 100-200 kilometers deep pushed to the surface via heat.

Oil fields tend to reproduce after being dormant 50-60 years per various studies conducted in Russia and the US. Kutcherov has stated:

“we don’t need to find new oil fields or gas fields. All that is needed is to improve the efficiency with how we use the energy.”

How we use the energy means greater efficiency – not conversion to solar and wind which are imperfect, and technically nonrenewable given their means of capture has a 20 year life span. And like Big Pharma pushing pills to fix pills to fix pills, Green energy with a limited life span requires a constant added cost to fix the dead windmill or panel with a new one.

While estimates indicate our oil and gas extraction accounts for roughly 15% of what is on earth’s surface, if we didn’t extract it, it would continue to be pushed to the surface via heat and released into the atmosphere.   As a carbon. And conversion to wind and solar would have absolutely no impact on our global carbon footprint!

If in fact our esteemed climate gurus wanted a clean source – then it should be completely clean – and completely constant – before it has true value in the utopian fantasy.   If we concentrated our efforts on ‘efficiency’ instead of dated revolution, we might actually conserve planet earth.  

Otherwise, these misfits are simply another scourge of Rockefellers looking to be the first trillionaire.

OIL: The Saudi/Russia Feud Unraveled

Posted on by Helena

In the midst of the Coronavirus panic, Saudi Arabia and Russia decided to defy OPEC and refuse to abide by their demand that output be curtailed as a consequence of tanking demand in China.   The media has varied responses speculating on the reasoning behind the feud; some claim it is between the two countries, others believe it is a strategy to tank the US shale output, and others think it is a purposeful attempt to tank the global economy.

And in the trajectory of ‘follow the money’ who would gain from this sudden denouncement of OPEC?

Currently, Venezuela, an initial signatory to the OPEC agreement has virtually zero output given it’s economy is in the Socialist twalette.   Iran’s output has suffered from sanctions and now the coronavirus.   Syria is being destroyed once again, this time by Turkey.  Other countries are being massacred by Al Shabaab, and still others are simply changing course toward renewable energy.

There are 14 countries that comprise OPEC;  Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Nigeria, Venezuela, Conga, Libya, Iran, Iraq, Gabon, Angola and Guinea – former members include; Ecuador, Indonesia and Qatar. Former members and others have already begun the shift to renewable energy sources.   The top five countries producing oil include; US, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Canada and China, only one of which is subject to OPEC.   Thus when OPEC demands member countries reduce output, the member hit the hardest is Saudi Arabia, while its competitors can ramp up production because they are not members of OPEC.

In essence OPEC has outlived its usefulness and will likely become obsolete in the near future. Weeding out the weak means eliminating smaller companies through price deflation as they haven’t the means to absorb the losses.   Both the Saudi’s and Russia claim they can hold a $25 per barrel price…   which is highly skeptical, but will play out nonetheless.   The consensus is that these countries want the price of oil to be aligned as a basic market flux like every other commodity in the world.   Price fixing thru creative shortages and creative oversupplies manufactured by OPEC are being purged.   The short term will see reactionary destabilization. But longer term, the five power houses will survive.

Oil output will be consolidated among the few, and renewables will enjoy the new future as Black Gold.

Currently the top renewable sources include: solar, wind, hydroelectric, hydrogen, geothermal and biomass.   Within those sources, wind has recently been found to be costly and a landfill nightmare given the turbines are made from plastics (oil) and steel.   Solar is specific to location.   Hydroelectric utilizes precious water supplies that are dwindling.   Biomass is attempting to diversify from it’s wood source, but its future looks a bit rickety given the destruction of valuable forests.

Geothermal requires extensive drilling given it is found in the earth’s core, thus hydrogen would seem to have the most potential and given it is found in abundance – the opportunity plays equally to all.

There is no naturally occurring pure hydrogen and thus it must be extracted from its source. Hydrogen is typically produced through oxidation of methane or coal gasification and burns clean.  But future methodologies are likely a massive science effort.

Still, it appears the many, including the Greens, are oblivious to all the other uses of oil outside of fuel.   There are literally hundreds of products made from petroleum including; cosmetics, dresses, vitamin capsules, tires, nail polish, upholstery, shoe polish, panty hose, deodorant, purses, denture adhesives, artificial limbs, anesthetics, refrigerators, guitar strings, shoes, lipstick, house paint…   the list is exhaustive

Out of every 42 gallon barrel of oil, 22.6 gallons are used in the production of products other than gasoline!   That would account for 54% of all oil…   Oil isn’t going to go away. But cheaper oil will trickle down the end price of all these products for consumers.  That may be actual goal as it would then make the costs more competitive against China.

It is the Bigger Picture.  

While every Industrial Revolution comes with gains – it also comes with pains.   Pains for the obsolete.   But ultimately, those pains are absorbed and new technology is the mainstay.   The horse shoeing market certainly isn’t what it was a couple of centuries ago…  People adapt, evolve and learn.

And thus, it could be that the entire Saudi Arabia/Russia feud is actually nothing more than a shift, a shift that was a necessary evolution with absolutely no demonizing intent at all.

Germany: A Welfare State Subsidized by the US

Posted on by Helena

Germany has pledged to spend $40 billion on climate change initiatives claiming the goals established under the Paris Accord might now be reached by 2030 (although Germany failed to meet goals in 2015, 2018, and 2020).   The plan is to stimulate the purchase of electric vehicles, provide more electric power stations, tax polluting vehicles, improve heating systems and charge a green tax on airfare.  

As of 2016, 84 coal plants provide 42% of electric power.   While Germany has tried to reach sustainable renewable power through wind, solar, and biofuel, with emphasis on wind, a huge snag put a dent in that scheme. Wind farms that were supposed to have a useful life of 20-25 years are dying after 15 years, five years before their financial breakeven. Dismantling the worthless windmills is costly, includes transportation to a windmill ‘dump’ and has created a windmill graveyard.

But hey, Germany has a balanced budget, and a great economy! Right?

That is particularly true however, it is due to the fact that Germany initiated unfair trade tariffs with the US and has consistently refused to meet their 2% of GDP obligation on defense spending.   In 2017, Germany spent just over $45 billion representing 1.2% of GDP. Why the shortfall if they have the money within the budget ‘surplus’?

Because they don’t want to pay, its FREE socialist money extracted from US citizens.

Out of 26 EU countries comprising NATO, 3 contribute their fair share or more: Greece, Poland and Estonia.

The US has 35,000 troops and 13,000 civilians stationed in Germany for defense. When the US asked Germany to ante in some troops to aid in the Syrian conflict – Germany declined stating ‘they couldn’t move hastily’.

Rules of engagement – they decried!

We defend Germany. US taxpayers pay for the shortfall of 23 EU countries including Germany so that Germany can have a balanced budget. In fact, in 2014 Germany’s surplus budget was .6%. If they had held to their contractual obligation for defense, they would have had a budget deficit. Each and every year.  And instead of their debt shrinking – their debt would have been growing – just like the US.

In fact, including Germany 9 EU countries had a surplus budget, and eight of the nine contributed 25%-80% less than the required 2%: Netherlands, Sweden, Czech Republic, Denmark, Luxembourg, Bulgaria and Austria.

In essence, this means US taxpayers have been subsidizing the EU’s wealth to the detriment of our own trade and budget.

Germany’s response?

They have determined that by 2024, they ‘hope’ to reach a 1.5% defense spending level… Obviously contractual obligations between the EU and the US are meaningless to Germans. Nationalist pride – for Germans, disdain for the evil Americans.

Back to wind energy.

Wind turbines cost about $4million each.   There are roughly 30,000 wind turbines in Germany today.   That would require an investment of $120billion. Given the legal ramifications, Germany now has a two year wait for a wind turbine permit.  Issues have arisen that have hit the industry, including; distance from residential neighborhoods, legal disputes, a shorter lifespan than estimated, conservation, noise and endangered species killed by the blades.   And by 2021, thousands of the existing turbines will be demolished as they have outlived their lifespan, lifeless monuments.

So how will Germany supply the electricity for the mandated electric cars?   Coal.  That dirty, nasty coal that makes Germans sneer at the US.

$40 billion for electric cars to run on coal fired electricity generating plants – while demanding the US continue subsidizing the EU’s defense spending on NATO.

NATO has obviously outlived itself and become ‘nonessential’.

But Germany and France in particular need NATO as long as the US pays for it. Germany’s military is a disaster.   Their equipment is obsolete.  Jets and helicopters useless junk.  Merkel’s own military plane – defective.  A total of 3300 deployed military personnel.  Dysfunctional weapons.   Unfit naval vessels.   If Germany were attacked today, they would be obliterated without the US.   The US pays 14times what Germany and France each contribute to defense despite the US economy being just 5 times that of Germany and 6 times that of France.

So while the German economy looks inspiring from a simplistic view, the truth is it has thrived on the back of US taxpayers for decades while defending unfair tariffs and providing -0- military strength. Of course the Germans don’t like Trump. Trump has vowed to make Germany, France and the EU responsible for their defense obligations while normalizing tariffs. That will eliminate any surplus while creating a truth, a real Germany, economically accountable, reliant on its own defense.

Germany is essentially a welfare state of the US.  And Germans have come to believe they are entitled to US taxpayer income ‘redistribution’ to prop up their wealth.
