Tech Companies’ Deceptive ‘Renewable Energy’ & Global ‘Climate Solution’ Extractors
‘The Country that controls you will destroy you.’ – Leticia Matlock
U.S. Corporations see ‘renewable energy’ as the future. Microsoft, in the summer of 2018, I noted:
“Made in China” had largely replaced “Made in America” by the 2000s. Then, in 2018, a new “truth” quickly arose. Apple CEO stated, ‘Here’s what we do today. The iPhone is really not made anywhere. It’s made everywhere. That’s the truth.’ The pendulum has swung full circle, where the smartphone, electric vehicle, and A.I. revamped the engine of globalization…”
Tech is using ‘renewable deals’ developing infrastructure or ‘playgrounds for dumping grounds.’ And why not, it’s a steal at ‘$10 per acre per year.’ Small price to pay as Rep. Huffman of California sees ‘renewable energy projects.’ Clearly, mining companies are not the only dirty players.
Cold ugly truth – Capitalists and Communists see extracting as sustainable. Congress debates on saving “National Treasures” as they attempt to ‘compete’ against China and Russia. Americans do not see a concern with Canadians taking goods and selling on the open market. Holland, we know better. Right Dutchman, seaport supply chain.
All overlook how right before their eyes, tech and chemical global companies are sucking the lifeblood of each other’s land. All the while, China is fucking them all!
South Dakota Governor states, ‘The Country that feeds us will control us.’ Kristi, ‘I’ll do you one better.’ → ‘The Country that controls you will destroy you.’
Of course, former CIA turned politician doesn’t want to offend her Chinese born constituents. After all, the international students you welcome pay the government via universities 50% more in admission. Elissa, it’s not about ‘demonizing Chinese’ but pandering for their votes, right.
Lastly, an unprepared Interior Secretary does not inspire confidence. Being female and Native may be necessary for ‘diversity’ but clearly not sufficient.
‘Pissing in the Wind!’ Great Pretenders and Green Fools
‘It’s no surprise discussions of climate change point to jobs in the coal industry as “dull, dirty, and dangerous,” ready to replace them with “green jobs,” that are “greener, cleaner, and smarter.’ – Leticia Matlock, 2018.
Ahh, sounds nice right? Psst, there’s nothing sweet or pretty about ‘blowing smoke’ or pissing.
Sure, dreams of running in open fields or mountain tops to the ‘sound of music,’ throwing money at a ‘green’ problem, feels progressively good! You can almost smell it. But all you’re doing is dumping green shit and ‘pissing in the wind.’ And it fuckin stinks!
Or would you rather swim in a sea of Technology-Critical Elements (TCEs)? We find the “Common Heritage of All Mankind”, the multi-national sea exploration of TCEs is ramping up. But not for the benefit of ALL mankind.
So how does one get away with this bullshit? Simply make yourself indispensable using smartphones, search engines, and social media as surveillance, aka PRISM. Dangerous to rely on China says DEFENSE and need to compete says Big GOV.
Microsoft is reported to have partnered up with Brookfield Asset Management. Microsoft, “develop new wind and solar farms in an attempt to bring over 10.5 gigawatts of new renewable energy capacity” at a $10 billion + cost. Mic, wasn’t your 2011 ‘cloud’ expenditure 90% of your “$9.6 billion R&D budget?”
Recall my October 16, 2009 paper, “Is the Future in the Clouds?”:
According to Gartner Inc., the world’s leading information technology research and advisory company, “Cloud computing implies risks, but creates economies of scale that can benefit large as well as small government organizations. Finally and most importantly, how does this affect you and me? In cloud computing, “users need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure in the “cloud” that supports them. In the recent political arena, the people need not have information or control over the government that supports them. Knowledge is power, but only if you control it.
Asset Managers, tell us Canadians, how is this ‘pathway… to deliver the new renewable energy capacity between 2026 and 2030 in the U.S. and Europe” going to protect you from the next mass forest fires? Wait a sec, neither you nor Mic disclosed any financial terms?
By 2030? Like to see how your use of wind and solar farms will meet “the voracious energy demand of cloud computing and artificial intelligence.”? First the Cloud and now AI. What’s next, nuclear? Oh right, been working on prototype for two decades. Still unable to power it up? 🙂
First ‘Earth Day’ was observed on April 22, 1970. It’s Founder, Gaylord Nelson, former U.S. Senator noted 20 years later seemingly in agreement with Natives, “Our Native Indians, the land doesn’t belong to us but future generations.”
But did Nelson know, or want to know, if ‘future generations’ were to include Natives? Still, he was correct about Federal land being degraded once it was commercialized (timber, fish and wildlife).
Native communities around the world, you are up against companies’ proposed deceptive ‘climate solutions,’ a ‘stab in the back’ and reminder of a brutal past. Colonizers in the Americas claim your land as their God blessed ‘home sweet home.’
“They don’t sharpen a knife to slaughter themselves.” – Kimaren Riamit
Brothers and Sisters, land beneath your feet is your land! Declare it your own “Private Property.”
Greedy companies continue to use deceptive ‘climate solutions’ as a ploy to extract the land for profit calling it ‘carbon markets.’ Darío José Mejía Montalvo, of the Zenú tribe in Colombia says:
“The transition towards a green economy [keeps] starting from the same extractivist-based logic that prioritizes the private sector, which is guided by national economic interests of multinationals, which ignores the fights of Indigenous people, the fight against climate change, and the fight against poverty,”
Tom Goldtooth, Diné and Dakota and executive director of IEN states, “It’s a life and death situation with our people…” Important: “Indigenous people rush to stop ‘false climate solutions’ ahead of COP29”
“On Wednesday, Goldtooth and the Indigenous Environmental Network, or IEN, called for a permanent end to carbon markets. Beyond being an ineffective tool for mitigating climate change, the organization argues; they harm, exploit and divide Native communities around the world.”
Brothers and Sisters, this is your call. It is time to sharpen your knives and exercise your power. Kimaren Riamit, executive director of ILEPA-Kenya points out “Indigenous self-determination – agency for tribes to decide for themselves if they want to engage in carbon market projects at all.”
Policy of incorporating ‘free, prior, and informed consent, or FPIC’ comes across as legal jargon. Appears one is ‘freely’ waiving any future right to land or its resources: Private sector can easily ‘grandfather in’ policy and hold signatory’s ‘informed consent’ as leverage and collateral.
As Riamit notes: “FPIC without enablers of self determination is useless because what do you give consent over when your land rights are not there? What do you give consent of if you are not part of the osdecision governance arrangement?”
Hand of Extractivists is on both land and sea. As I note in my paper, “Broken Promises in NATOs Rotten State of Democracy!” GREEN & OIL: Green fight for a fossil-free economy attempts are in vain. Heard of Exxon and Guyana? Ask Venezuela.
Swedes learned a hard lesson. “As long as we’re continuing to be stuck in a system of continuous growth and continuous economic extraction of resources, we’re still going to be going down.”
In the words of Søren Kierkegaard, “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.”
Difficult Choices Now or PAINFUL CHOICE LATER
Guess which of the ‘dirty dozen’ came up with pandemic masks? Hint: Well Honey, like GE, they’re also into working for aerospace.
My Green Friends, you have three separate challenges, albeit interconnected: Reliance on Energy, Environmental Toxins and Dangerous Infrastructures.
Complex by design but not complicated. Need three clear objectives:
1. Deal head on with dependence and polluting practices
2. Force change of Congress’ policies and Parliaments’ vote for stricter laws on industry toxic dumping
3. Confront Federal/State/City and private sector on affordable housing. NOT economically driven and poorly built on extreme weather paths
Difficulty is in IMPLEMENTATION due to perverse incentives created by FALSE ‘GREEN’ PROPHET.
IMPORTANT: Contractor to design and built, a Pro or Con? Retiring city workers as Building Inspectors, Urban Designers, and Code Enforcement are being replaced with private contractors (up to you to wither out corrupt ones). President Biden says he’s now ‘banned fossil fuel in new Federal buildings.’ What of City and State?
No required disclaimers on use of cheap migrant labor. May also wish to avoid contracting government workers protected by ‘immunity’ laws (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers). If work is flawed, as levees in New Orleans, you CANNOT legally hold them responsible.
Lastly one cannot build on sand and corruption and not expect it to crumble or burn to the ground. So called ‘climate change’ has finally been outed to be the scapegoat. Time for difficult choices, or you will be at the ‘ground zero’ of the next disaster.
Read my 2018 paper “How Beautiful, Dark and Green is My Country: A View from the Appalachian Mountains, U.S.A.”? It was inspired by the 1939 novel and film, “How Green Was My Valley.”
I point out ‘Naturally, coal mining has become controversial. People condemn the practice, yet they reap the energy derived from it.’
My Green Friends, Energy sector, who funded Elon’s Tesla, wants you to ‘save the planet’ by buying electric. All the while Elon, President, Congress and Supreme Judges fly private planes, choppers and ride pricey gased up cars. They all ‘go electric,’ then we’ll talk.
Biggest guzzlers are Defense and Space. Lockheed and Elon, are your ears ringing?
Polluters, to really decrease carbon requires buying less things and going to fewer places. And that means less time in the pricey unfriendly skies or time in the ‘cloud.’
Right, $$TOURISM$$ and CHAMBER of COMMERCE industry breeds and feeds off online and offline Service Economy. If credit cards facilitated a debt society of cheap items beholden to the ‘world factory’, the marketing of mini Operating Systems aka ‘smartphones’ accelerated the ‘throwaway society.’
In fact, contrary to what Nelson may have expected, manufacturing still does not build things to last. It’s long been outsourced (except those made in US with US material).
High pricing of three main lifelines scapegoated the pandemic: Housing-Food-Energy. Perverse incentives pushed for cheap and convenience – E-commerce flea market imports. You know the ‘prime’ culprits: Bozo and China.
Sure, driving EVs and investing in Solar sounds ‘groovy’ for guilt-laden boomers who enjoyed gasing up the planet, but now want a better future for the next generation. Ahh, isn’t that sweet. But you’re too much too late!
Film and Photographers documenting melting icebergs, do you want to see something really scary? Roll your film on the streets and see how ice cold weather affects war torn starving children and adults! Of course, climbing over ice may be more fun than over iced or bloodied bodies.
Anorexic looking Celebrities & Business Executives, with pricey private jets and gas guzzlers all snugly in your mansions, telling the public facing inflation to just ‘go green’ or be a vegan eating plant food, shut the fuck up! Seems you’ve all been too long inside that greenhouse and think “your shit doesn’t stink.”
Sweden, what say your people? “They all agree that “green industry” is a contradiction in terms. “They want us to believe that the same industry that put us into the environmental crisis is going to get us out of it,’ Litvinov says.”
Climate activists, here’s what Jakob Bowers says, “All of this is like some sort of promise for the future, but it’s destroying what we actually have right now.” Moreover, “If you look at wind power, studies have shown an increase in emissions, because of all the mining and transport infrastructure.”
Scam of Recycling Plastic and the ‘Dirty Dozen’
Plastic industry is noted in saying, “We don’t make a lot of products you buy. We make them possible.”
Idea of recycling, the ‘green people’ or ‘greedy people’? Cities and Companies, bloody brilliant to get the public to freely separate the shit and pick it off the streets and beaches!
EPA, what exactly have you done in terms of stopping industries engaging in toxic dumping or ‘plastic pollution?’ World saw your pathetic response to train crash in East Palestine where Norfolk was permitted in burning toxins dumped. Talk about getting rid of the evidence.
Counter to plastic, I see consumer product makers motto as, ‘We make a lot of the products you buy and impossible to rid.’ My Green Friends, which will kill you sooner? Fossil Fuel or the ‘Dirty Dozen’ shit you put in and on your body?
According to chemsec.org: “Twelve chemical companies are responsible for the majority of the global PFAS production: AGC, Arkema, Chemours [a spin-off from DuPont], Daikin, 3M, Solvay, Dongyue, Archroma, Merck, Bayer, BASF and Honeywell.”
Yep, toxins are in construction, chemical producers, appliances, automobiles, manufacturers, pharmaceuticals, chemical textiles, medical products including dental floss, stick for your chapped lips, etc. Listen, of course you’re not going to quit ‘cold turkey.’ Find natural and inexpensive alternatives or lessen their use.
“God made the coal and he hid it. Then some fool found it, and we’ve been in trouble ever since.”
From the United Mine Workers Journal, 1976
“Man made the toxic consumer products and he unpacked them. Then we fools bought them and been in trouble ever since.” From Matlock’s Journal, 2024
UK, disaster of the Corporate-run Sewage systems runs parallel to the exploitation of the Healthcare system. One is spilling data into US ‘security’ shitty startups and the other spilling shit out to water springs, rivers and oceans.
Thames Water reportedly attributes it to ‘climate change’ and population growth. Naturally, the public puts it on shareholders’ mismanagement and deregulation. Either way, all we see is lots of pooh!
Look, rich or poor, everybody’s got shit inside their body. Problem is few can afford to lessen it or manage it. And even fewer to not live around it or in the dangerous path of extreme weather.
Hawaiians, Painful Lessons of ‘Getting Burned’ Twice
Pearl Harbor: Japan’s Revenge of the Nuke? The jet fuel leak of a U.S. Navy Fuel Reserve Tank (1 of 20 tanks) of November 20, 2021 marked the sick discovery of another toxic war relic. Even more sickening was what the leak revealed in a 60 Minutes report, another Pentagon cover-up.
Duplicity of acting in bad faith: Concealment and Betrayal.
First, Families of servicemen and servicewomen were sickened by their water supply being contaminated with jet fuel. Second, discovery and concerns were pacified with assurances that ‘water remains safe to drink.’ Flynt, Michigan and Palestine, Ohio, sound familiar?
A Navy official stated, “This facility was a disaster waiting to happen.” Hawaii, recall my words last August?
Maui, to say that Hawaiian Electric power lines were an ‘accident ready to happen’ is an understatement.
→You got burned, alive!
August 8th marked the beginning of the end for over a hundred people, and 385 missing. It must be a terrible blow to discover a ‘WARNING’ may have saved lives.
Recall the Emergency Alert “BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT…” which went out on January 13, 2018, later reported by the New York Times headline as, “Hawaii Missile Alert Wasn’t Accidental.”
So WTF happened? Federal Communications Commission’s attempt “to avoid spreading panic across broad swaths of the public” endangered the pubic by changing the rules alerts.
Basically, the plan of “public safety officials…deciding to send alerts for fires, hurricanes and other emergencies, while balancing concerns of raising fears among people who are not immediately in harm’s way” BACKFIRED!!!
U.S. citizens, “Under the existing system, alerts often go to an entire county, spanning hundreds of square miles.” But “Under the new rules, alerts can be directed [ONLY] to areas within a tenth of a mile of the target audience.” Find out or pray you’re not a target ‘in the line of fire’!
Speaking of National Security, Director of Avril Michele seems to agree with the unoriginal theme of ‘Gathering Storm, Gathering Strength.’ Last Wednesday, she got a ‘reality check.’ Public voiced their many views: “You have blood on your hands.” So tells us Avril, how much blood is an “acceptable loss’?
Abril, don’t think audience appreciated your ‘yada yada’ but I do agree with your words, ‘Sorry, I talk too much.’ Hey, are those frames you appear to always wear on your head top for good luck or surveillance?
Another person voiced “Pentagon is the biggest institutional polluter in the world.’ Speaking of defense weapons, Gaylord Nelson, Founder of ‘Earth Day,’ noted in 1990, ‘spending more money but less safe.”
Eleven years later he was proven right when America was attacked using its own planes. Yet, Lockheed fighter jet program is now in the trillions! Hmm, imagine what they can do with that big bird!
The Blinding ‘Butterfly Effect’
Idea of the ‘Butterfly Effect’ has blinded humans to the climate impact of ‘in your face’ exploits. Humans are programmed through dependence and perverse incentives. The only thing sustainable is the powerful status quo of profits.
First, in the concept of fighting ‘climate change’ or ‘global warming’ who exactly are you fighting? Nature’s wrath or U.S. poorly manmade housing, as in New Orleans? Canada’s massive forest fires are difficult to put out but Hawaii is a two-fold example of bad FCC policy and mismanagement of energy sector – recipe for disaster.
Second, combating opportunistic companies in Consumer goods, Transportation, GasOil, and Insurance? Manipulative pandemic profiteers have put blame of high prices on ‘climate change’ and supply chains.
Third, Extreme weather impacts the most vulnerable and wealthy man-made structures. California’s home insurance fees are going up! Looking to buy a home? Good luck. Hear top insurance companies are no longer writing policies for new homeowners! Earthquake? You’re SOL when the big one hits!
“Global boiling” for whom? An American overlooking the ocean from a Cliffside Malibu home or a fisherman in South America, India or South Asia? Rebuild with subsidized housing or government insurance plans? Good luck! No one wants to die or live through another Katrina.
Lastly, No amount of ‘carbon capture’ will change famine resulting from an agricultural unfriendly location or forever wars. But airlines are making you pay your share. Your climate change crying backfired!
Solve overpopulation, famine, poverty and disease. Why? Fools, really need to ask AI? Since before Roman times, Republics, Tyrants and Dictators have long solved such ‘problems.’ Genocide and Wars!
Coincidentally, speaking of wars and blinded by exploits, ‘Green People’ and so called ‘Social Justice Warriors’ appear to have much in common. BUT THEY DON’T.
‘Warriors’ see ‘global warming’ as a ‘white’ problem. Whereas, ‘green people’ see conflict in the Middle East as a ‘Jew’ problem. Where’s the solidarity for Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Libya…? NOT about a humanitarian cause but against Whites and Jews. Funny this is, students protesting in two universities in Los Angeles ignore the problem of their city having the ‘worst air quality in the U.S.’
My friends, as I noted time and again, here’s the sad and ugly truth. In your ‘road to hell,’ good causes are intentionally politicized. Unlike all of you idealists and students who come and go, BigOilGas, TCEs, and Tech are here to stay, and will outlive you!
COP29 or COP129 are a ‘COP OUT.’ For the love of your God and Green, hang not on the pledges of a distant future by LEADERS and their MINIONS where YOU will cease to be.
It is said, ‘life is for the living.’ But commercialization has given it a new meaning. Life is for the living to spend and spend working harder and ‘smarter!’!
But for those of us who choose to relax taking a walk in the park, woods or the beach reading a good book, we LIVE life enjoying nature while we’re still six feet ABOVE ground. As opposed to those ‘‘pissing in the wind!’ Hmm, will the landscaper you curse be watering or pissing on your grave! 🙂
Once again, you failed to heed my words, ‘Humans Be Damned! Build and Perish at Your Own Risk!’ In the end, the hourglass of time runs out not for earth but for humans.
Psst…for those selling ‘green books’ with no clear challenge and objective ‘pissing in the wind’ and leeching off of OUR work, l close here with the conclusion of my 2018 paper:
“Words of advice: For those of you who point to the “canary in a coal mine,” arguing that coal miners should have seen this coming or chose not to change with the times, close your eyes and think back to another time and place before your job was replaced by the ATM, Digital Register, Internet, Artificial Intelligence… Yep, “there’s an App for that.” Did you see that coming?”
