It’s been exactly one year since I started this little endeavor. Thank you for continuing to read! This is something I did when I first started this whatever-it-is; I call it Cosmic Brownie Bites and I hope to make it a regular feature again. There is a story behind the title which I encourage you to read but the summation is that we used Little Debbie Cosmic® Brownies for self-defense when on family road trips. When hurled at a potential attacker, the dense brownies could, in theory, give one a concussion.
And so as it’s Halloween, this edition is dedicated to some things that should scare the everliving crap out of you. Boo!
Forget Oil, The Real Crisis Is Diesel Inventories: The US Has Just 25 Days Left
This is a rolling average so it’s not quite as scary as oh, crap, we have 25 days and then everything goes dark! What is scary is that, once again, this is a manufactured crisis á la Joey B. But remember, the Green New Deal is great! We’re transitioning to a green economy! Aren’t you thrilled? Climate Change! (I’m getting tired of this word “transitioning” as it is now prevalent throughout our society, whether we’re transitioning to the Great Reset or the transitioning perverts infecting our children and public schools.)
Because of our transitioning, the administration—by use of the magic wand—created new overly onerous regulations for refineries that have handicapped abilities to “transition” to changing market conditions.
There’s more to it, though. Refineries are not well-oiled machines that can be turned on and off with a switch. There has not been a large refinery built in the United States since the 1970s. Why? Regulations and the constant tinkering with petroleum markets by our politicians make it impossible for downstream oil companies to invest in new large refineries. One petroleum executive recently said that there will never again be a new large refinery built in the U.S. because investment is in the billions and the return on investment takes 20 years to realize. With our “transitioning” to a renewable energy format, why build a new refinery? Why even keep them maintained if it’s cheaper to close them down?
But, don’t worry, our administration is on top of it. Brian Deese, former head of BlackRock’s ESG investment portfolio and current National Economic Council Director, acknowledged that the supply levels are unacceptably low and that everything is on the table to fix it. Okay, Brian, what’s on the table?
Crickets.
As a reminder, diesel is used for trains, 18-wheelers, electric generators, and heating (especially in the Northeast). So… if you live in a cold clime, look forward to freezing your ass off while going hungry this winter.
It’s so much fun to transition!
Top Dems Urge Biden To Nationalize Oil & Gas Industry
Even more transitioning! Since we’ve over-regulated and disincentivized the oil and gas industry and they aren’t keeping up with demand, let’s just take them over and let government operate the industry!
At a Houston conference last week, Jason Bordoff, Dean of Columbia University’s Climate School, called for the “nationalization” of oil and gas companies. “Government must take an active role in owning assets that will become stranded,” he said, “and plan to strand those assets.” By “strand” Bordoff meant “make financially worthless.” Bordoff made the point at least twice during the confrerence. Bordoff’s call shocked many in the audience. “Jason is smart, well-informed, and well-connected to the Biden Administration,” said someone who was at the conference, “so these comments are scary.”
And spoooooky!
Titanium dioxide particles frequently present in face masks intended for general use require regulatory control
Titanium dioxide is a potential human carcinogen when inhaled, especially when in the size of a nanoparticle. The synthetic fibers in the cheap face masks that we’ve been forced to wear are loaded with TiO2. Wearing them every-once-and-a-while shouldn’t present problems, according to the study, but daily use can give you cancer. The scientists reassured us that the use of masks are indispensable for the protection from the Black Plague. Still, they recommend that you shouldn’t wear them too much.
I’m sorry, but the pandemic management by these public health clowns has become Kafkaesque.
Quadruple mask, anyone?
CDC advisory committee votes to add COVID-19 vaccine to immunization schedules for children, adults
We should all, by now, be aware that the CDC has been bought and paid for by Big Pharma. With a 15-0 vote, the so-called vaccine may now be required before you send your kids to school. The vaccines have been proven to be worthless—if you take the jab, you can still get Covid and you can still transmit but you won’t get as sick. How does anyone know how sick one gets? Forget that there are increasing reports of vaccine injuries and deaths. (Why do we have a National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program if the vaccines are safe and effective?) Covid and all variants have not been shown to be harmful to the young and healthy.
Even more scary—according to an Italian study—is what might be happening to the blood of those vaccinated. Here is another source with pictures from the study.
Why would we give children the jab?
Wind farm in Germany is being dismantled to expand coal mine
Facing the effects of “transitioning” to a green future: ah, irony is so sweet!
And, finally… The living human Halloween costume.
Would you let this guy take your kids Trick-or-Treating?
