I hope you felt better Irina! Thank you for harnessing the power of discourse to illuminate inconsistencies in our contemporary paradigm :)

You should create and head an Institute for Countering BS in the Media. I see the headline now: "Slav launches ICBM against multiple targets".

As to the USS New Jersey, what would have been wrong with Boaty McNeuterface?

Suggest replacing "BS" with "VOF (Verbal Organic Fertilizer)" or "MBFM (Male Bovine Fecal Matter)"

Lucky me for having drunk my coffee already before I read this, otherwise the ICBM would have perished before having a chance to spring to life. :D Love it! Boaty McNeuterface kills!

Great job, Irina. The complete rejection by this movement of all the hard-fought knowledge about how things work simply proves that this has never been about climate or energy or the environment, but power and money. And they'll destroy the language to do it with their repetitive and meaningless nonsense. It's the age of the Robber Parrots.

Yes, they are destroying language in an attempt to create a new reality, and they are succeeding, which is insufferable.

Abracadabra, You can stroke the lamp all you want, but a genie based on physics as Irina consistently underscores, will never come rising out of the lamp. But a lot of rubbing and rubbishing words are going into this process which today is a religion of cretinism....

Well done Irina. This essay should be submitted to the WSJ just to see those comments!

I dare not. But yes, the comments would be interesting to see.

Speaking of words, the WSJ Editorial Board took a look at the climate director for VP Harris. You just have to love this section of the op ed:

- In March 2021, Ms. Thorndike tweeted about the need for “political and cultural change to overcome the individualism, white supremacy + toxic patriarchy that fossil fuel co’s weaponize against affordable solutions we already have for rapid decarbonization.” In Dec. 2021, she called the fossil-fuel industry “a death cult” that “quietly murders every day” good ideas. -

Aw, so many Big Words strung together. Lovely, thank you for sharing!

Great writing, Irina. Though, I clicked on “the fossil fuel industry’s biggest disinformation tactics” and my hope for humanity is somewhat diminished.

Let’s restore that hope - just quit the net zero any/everything, for the greater good

thank you, Kevin. Yes, the Guardian piece was a real gem. I'm surprised you -- and I, for that matter --still have any faith left in humanity, to be honest.

“The Albanese and Starmer Governments believe private capital and the power of government can be leveraged to shape a clean energy future…” Ah yes, Labour have form here. It’s called Private Finance Initiative (PFI) and was used to finance new hospitals and other public service capital needs. Of course when civil servants with no business acumen negotiate with business people… we get headlines years later like this: “NHS hospitals under strain over £80bn PFI bill for just £13bn of actual investment” “The NHS has so far only paid around £25bn of the £80bn expected total cost of PFI since it was first introduced in 1998, less than a third of the final price. With just under £55 billion further to pay, the NHS will continue carry the burden of PFI for decades to come unless action is taken, according to the report.”

The last Government banned PFI, but it looks like it’s making a comeback - Socialists do love taxing, borrowing and spending. The only tangible result is more debt.

The death of words, the death of common sense, the death of critical thinking skills, & the death of the taxpayers money. That last one isn't a problem, as the bobbleheads will buy bigger & faster printing presses.

Great column, Irina...and was it Lenny Bruce who pointed out onstage the thing about repeating a word endlessly makes it somewhat neutered (as I recall, the word he used as an example was the "f word").

But of course, using logic to decry what the leftists are pushing presupposes the goal of the cabal is the betterment of humanity and the country - which of course, is not at all the case. So through the lens of attempting to revert humanity to a feudal nature, where these "elites" will be "happily!) serviced by those of us who survive the freezing (lack of power - global boiling!), starvation (meat=bad, bugs=good, fertilizer go away!) and direct attack (can I have my 3rd booster for MPox please sir?).

Now it all makes sense, right?

Of course, what fun it will be to see the faces of that upper layer (but not top level) of leftists - the sycophants in gub'mint and the media/celebutard crowd - as they are led to the proverbial chambers while crying out "but I'm one of the good guys! I helped push the narrative!"...

I think the documentary (circa 2015 evidently) called "Shadowring" is well worth watching - it can be found on Rumble here:

Neutered, exactly. Thanks for the documentary recommendation!

Great and very insightful, yet frightening. I have been calling this "The New Age of Discovery" for years now. What I mean by this is politicians constantly pontificate platitudes about "saving" our planet with timeline long after they will be pushing up daisies (and emitting even more carbon). The New Age of Discovery is for everyone else to figure what this means and how it will be done, especially when it comes to "critical minerals" I used to think this was just merely quixotic, but it has become far more dangerous than that. Good luck and keep the post coming.

Thank you! To be fair, there are plenty of Don Quixotes out there with a genuine belief they're doing good. They just forget the ones pushing their buttons are not in it for the greater good. Now why does that sound familiar, I wonder...

“Navy fleet welcomes newest USS New Jersey, the first gender-neutral submarine”:

Joke's on them. How it be gender-neutral when a submarine is, in essence, just an underwater penis, piercing the depths? Calling an underwater penis "Jersey Girl" however is super modern, so maybe the joke's on all of us? And to add insult to injury, it's a nuclear-powered sub. So somewhere at least one anti-nuclear activist must be crying.

Thanks for shining a light into the murky depths of human word interpretation! 😀

Oh, my gosh, it's a trans-marine! Thank you for that much needed clarification. :D

Amusingly, although a door is a door and it’s not a window, the climate fascists think the can call a door a window and that makes it so. If they weren’t wasting trillions of taxpayer dollars and killing people through forced blackouts, it really would be so amusing (and annoying).
