Study shows Salton Sea has world’s largest lithium supply

California lake could sit on top of a ‘white gold’ mine after a federally funded study found the Salton Sea has the world’s largest lithium supply.

The Department of Energy (DOE) shared the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory results, which determined the underground pool could hold 18 million tons – enough to meet the US’s demand for the valuable metal for decades.

One ton of lithium is currently priced at $29,000, making the supply in the Salton Sea worth more than $540 billion. 

While the Salton Sea has long been known to hold lithium, this is the first analysis to show the extent of the supply, which the DOE said could support over 375 million electric vehicle batteries.

What the Whistleblower Data Tells Us About the New Zealand Ministry of Health

…The whistleblower was in the position that many people holding positions of responsibility in New Zealand now find themselves. We believe he acted responsibly because he disclosed very concerning information that the Ministry of Health has been withholding from public view.

We have unprecedented record high rates of excess deaths and hospitalisation which are continuing long past the peaks of Covid infection yet virtually no one among the media, the medical profession, and the government wants to talk about it. Instead, they are conspiring (yes, I do mean to use the term and don’t do so lightly) to hide the figures that will demonstrate the exact extent of COVID-19 vaccine harm.

This is all the more concerning since a rapidly growing number of recently published scientific papers we have been regularly reporting are pointing to a wide range of long term mRNA Covid harms including heart disease and immune deficiency, cancersstrokes and mental illness.

The message that most resonated with me during the interview was the heartfelt plea from the whistleblower for others to speak up. I encourage all those with inside knowledge to speak up if you haven’t already done so. We can’t continue with the disastrous censorship of health information enforced by the previous government. The health and longevity of the whole population is at stake.

COP28 Craziness: EU Chief Demands ‘Trillions’ for Green Agenda at U.N. Climate Summit

The European Union appears undeterred by years of calamitous climate policies, with EU Commission Chief Ursula von der Leyen demanding new taxes and other schemes to take green agenda investment into the “trillions”.

Leaders from around the world descended (many of whom on private jets) upon the oil-rich Arabian nation of Dubai for the 28th instalment of the United Nation’s top annual climate summit, in which politicians demand that ordinary citizens bankroll their lofty visions of a so-called green future.

Despite people suffering across Europe under an energy crisis as a result of the war in Ukraine and the years of dumping money into dubious ‘renewable’ energy sources, EU Chief Ursula von der Leyen’s takeaway was to double down on the very same policies that precipitated Europe’s precarious energy situation.

“More is needed,” the German politician urged, proclaiming: “We have to move from billions to trillions.”

The EU leader admitted that to accomplish such a goal, Brussels will need to “find new sources of revenue”. To do so, von der Leyen said that she “fully supports” the plan proposed by Kenyan President William Ruto and French President Emmanuel Macron to impose a global green tax targeting financial transactions to “raise more money for climate action.”

‘It’s just one of those terms they put on you so you’ll shut up about what you’re seeing’ — Eva Vlaardingerbroek

Mass immigration is very obviously intended to destroy Western nations so they can be more easily controlled by globalists. There is no doubt the West is controlled by a cabal and one could argue philosophically that this might even be a good thing since democracy is a failed joke (witness mass immigration, etc). BUT none of what cabal has done is good. Nothing they do causes our nations to thrive. All of what they do is power-aggrandizement for themselves coupled with suppression of all other voices and ideas. The West is right now facing its greatest disaster in history. ABN

‘Everything indicates’ Chinese ship damaged Baltic pipeline on purpose, Finland says

BRUSSELS — As the investigation into damage to Baltic Sea critical infrastructure continues, Finland’s Minister of European Affairs Anders Adlercreutz said it’s hard to believe sabotage to the undersea gas pipeline was accidental — or that it happened without Beijing’s knowledge.

“I’m not the sea captain. But I would think that you would notice that you’re dragging an anchor behind you for hundreds of kilometers,” Adlercreutz said in an interview Thursday in Brussels. “I think everything indicates that it was intentional. But of course, so far, nobody has admitted to it.”

Finland and Estonia have been investigating the rupture of the Balticconnector, a 77-kilometer-long gas pipeline that connects the two NATO members beneath the Baltic Sea. The pipeline was damaged around October 7-8, along with two telecoms cables connecting Estonia to Finland and Sweden.
