Despite $9 trillion spent on net zero goals, fossil fuels to remain dominant energy source: report

While the legacy media often reports that the world is rapidly transitioning away from fossil fuels to renewable energy, a new report from J.P. Morgan shows that narrative is simply not correct. Since 2010, $9 trillion has been spent globally on wind, solar, electric vehicles energy storage, electrification and power grids, but despite this expensive effort — mostly at taxpayer expense — the share of final energy consumption by carbon-free energy sources is advancing by approximately a scant 0.3% to 0.6% per year. 

Michael Cembalest, Chairman of Market and Investment Strategy for J.P. Morgan, explains in “Heliocentrism,” the 15th annual energy paper by the investment firm, that the reason fossil fuels remain the dominant source of energy is that modern prosperity is tied to certain kinds of industrial products, including chemicals, steel, cement, food and paper. Approximately 80% of the energy inputs for these products are fossil fuels. JPMorgan Chase is the world’s fifth largest bank by total assets, with $3.9 trillion as of 2023. 

“As things stand now, modern prosperity is highly reliant on fossil fuels,” Cembalest said in a podcast on the report. Dr. Roger Pielke, Jr., retired professor of environmental studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder, estimates on his “The Honest Broker” Substack that at the current pace, the world will not be carbon free until sometime after the year 2200. 

“There’s a lot of people that are so focused on the growth in solar power that they believe that solar power, typically bolted on with some energy storage, can represent the dominant share of where we get our energy from,” Cembalest said. 

Solar accounts for approximately 6% of global electricity generation. However, electricity is only about 33% of the total energy people consume, according to the paper, and by some estimates it’s only about 20%. Translating all that solar power to a share of final energy consumption, which includes all forms of energy, solar is only 2% of total final energy and will grow to 4% to 5% by the end of the decade. 

“While that’s impressive growth from a low base, we obviously need to be more focused on the other 95% of where we’re going to get our final energy consumption from and rather than just the solar on its own,” Cembalest said.

The term ‘fossil fuel’ is outdated, but good article otherwise. A very large part of ‘renewable energy’ is fueled by tax-funded scams. ABN

Israel’s actions in Syria are not about security — they are about survival in a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape — Shahid Bolsen

Israel’s actions in Syria are not about security—they are about survival in a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape. In this talk, Shahid Bolsen explains how Israel’s territorial expansion and buffer zone strategy are desperate attempts to maintain relevance as the Middle East transitions toward *collective sovereignty*.

From the occupation of the Golan Heights to the manipulation of sectarian divisions among Alawites, Druze, and Christians, Israel is using every tool at its disposal to prolong instability and delay its inevitable absorption into the emerging regional order. But these moves are not signs of strength; they are acts of desperation.

The new Middle East, led by regional hegemons like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, and Iran—with support from BRICS powers—no longer needs Israel to function as a Western proxy. Zionism, as an expansionist ideology, is incompatible with this new reality.

Western critics call Syria’s leadership “undemocratic” while ignoring the fact that democracy has never been a prerequisite for good governance. What matters is results: stability, security, and the protection of national interests.

Real-world game theory. Well-worth watching for a deeper understanding of Israel, Zionism, and the Middle East. Many of Bolsen’s points apply to Trump and how he is behaving toward Israel, Russia, Europe, and USA. KOBK and hardcore game theory is the only way to really understand world politics, or any politics for that matter. So far, in my view, Trump has been playing the game very well. When people said he was acting as Netanyahu’s servant when he tucked in his chair, I saw the opposite. When Trump deals directly with Putin and sidelines not only the execrable Zelensky but also all of Europe, he is playing the game very well indeed. America First is KOBK. And the only way any nation should be governed. See Top of the World Alliance for more. ABN

Maine Court Says Doctor Who Injected 5-Year-Old with COVID-19 Vaccine Without Parental Consent Has Immunity

The young Maine child who was given a controversial and experimental Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA injection at a public school without his parents consent may not have immunity from Covid-19. But the doctor who delivered the non-consensual shot and the powerful hospital system that supplied it do. Legal immunity, that is.

The Maine Supreme Judicial Court decided on March 4 in Hogan v. Lincoln Medical Partners that the hospital system and its affiliates are fully immune from legal liability after administering an experimental mRNA injection to a five-year-old child without parental consent.

The ruling, issued March 4, affirms a lower court decision that dismissed the case brought by parents Jeremiah Hogan and Siara Jean Harrington, whose child was injected with the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 shot at a school clinic in November 2021. The couple had sued the healthcare provider, its parent company MaineHealth, and the physician who administered the shot, alleging a litany of offenses, including medical malpractice, battery, false imprisonment, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

MaineHealth is the largest hospital operator in the state of Maine and employs more than 24,000 workers, including Dora Mills, the sister of Gov. Janet Mills, who serves as the “Chief Health Improvement Officer.”

Though it was clear at the time the vax was not safe, since then it has been proved the vax is dangerous. The state should never have the right to overrule parents or do medical procedure without their consent. This is basic to USA legal rights and freedoms. In retrospect, the Constitution was right and the doctors and the hospitals and the state and federal governments were wrong. Right there is why you do not interfere with parents rights or anyone’s right to refuse medical treatment, nor do you restrict their freedom to speak about what is going on. The conspiracy theorists were way more right about everything covid while the government and the, now dead, legacy media were way more wrong about everything. This is an example none of us who lived through it should ever forget. Covid illustrates from many angles the fundamental, inalienable importance of individual rights as spelled out in the US Constitution. All culture needs some bedrock upon which to found itself. USA’s is our magnificent Constitution. ABN

Disappointing anyone would have supported the nonsense, but this is the breakdown

__________

This is the approximate proportion, including Republicans, of our population who are fundamentally totalitarian in their thinking. Totalitarianism shows most when we are under pressure, when people are afraid, when real courage is tested. Independents usually lie somewhere between Dems and GOPs, though they tend to be more supportive of individual freedoms and rights. Not a pretty picture however you look at it. The covid years should always be remembered and often recalled. Vast numbers of people in USA and globally completely caved to mind-control so serious they injected extremely dubious gene therapy even into their children. At the same time, dissenting ‘conspiracy theorists’ were right about almost everything, thus proving yet again that freedom of speech is our most important right. ABN

Lutnick on tariffs and how to understand them

Great interview, many good points made clearly and succinctly. Lutnick is another prominent Jew we can all like and admire, provided he is not a covert Jewish Supremist. There are a large number of Jewish Supremists, both covert and overt, within the Jewish community, so it is more than reasonable for interviewers to ask Lutnick if he is a Jewish Supremist, and if he disavows Jewish Supremacy if he claims not to be one. He has dubious connections with Jeffrey Epstein and should be asked about that as well. If he can answer honestly and evidence backs up his answers on Epstein and Jewish Supremacy, he would be a reasonable candidate for president of USA in 2028. I am not sure I would support him due to lingering suspicion, but if he really is clean and shows it, I would support him if he had the best chance to win. And I would definitely support him if he wins the presidency, with the same provisos in place. I look forward to the day when we we can openly draw a line between Jewish Supremists and Jews who despise Jewish Supremacy. When that day comes, Jews like Lutnick and Stephen Miller, who appear to be unreservedly pro-American, will be able to lead the Jewish community toward a non-Supremist future, allowing them to make a real contribution to USA and Western civilization and not just always take from it.

Top of the World Alliance

__________

The Top of the World Alliance is everything on this map plus all of Europe, Japan, Korea, Mongolia and northern Central Asia. For Europe to be at war with Russia is as dumb as it gets. Trump is doing the right thing to get Greenland and Canada. It is best for everyone in the alliance and will result in a more peaceful world. This is geopolitical game theory planning for the future. It is a bold KOBK move that virtually ‘kills’ all potential enemies, giving them no reason to fight nor the possibility of winning. ABN

Rep Thomas Massie on AIPAC

It’s possible Trump went after Massie to highlight how the system works. If so, it becomes more likely Trump himself will use the NSA database to expose the giant parasite, with all of its tendrils, which has infested USA. Trump knows he has only one term and we all know he will take one for team USA. ABN

An example of KOBK information hegemony

__________

Everyone knows the ‘force’ Carlson refers to is either CIA or Jewish Supremists or a combination of both. What they are hiding is Israel’s and CIA’s roles in the JFK killing and the Epstein espionage and blackmail racket. Carlson implies as much very strongly and gives a loud voice to those who already know. He seems to be doing his best to inform the public, to give them correct information. If Israel is perceived as playing a major if not the major role in the assassination of JFK, gigantic silos of bad information will implode across the world and especially in USA. Epstein videos, if released, would be even more graphic and explosive because they are closer in time and implicate many prominent people who are still alive. The big question today is how long can the powers that be continue hiding this information? The Bondi-Patel standstill alone is proof everyone is cowed, including Trump, or so it seems. Only a very powerful player can keep these lies going. But, the harder they come the harder they fall. ABN

Trump border czar Tom Homan threatens green card holders amid massive immigration crackdown

Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan said that Mahmoud Khalil could be the first of many green cards holders to be deported amid his widespread crackdown on legal and illegal immigrants. 

President Trump boasted about the arrest of Khalil earlier Monday, warning it was ‘the first of many to come’ – even though Khalil is a legal resident who has not been convicted of a crime.

Khalil – a Palestinian who was born and raised in Syria – helped to lead protests against Israel at Columbia University last year. He also acted as a negotiator between students and university officials. 

A judge has since stepped in to temporarily block the deportation of the 27-year-old pro-Palestine activist, pending a further ruling on the matter.

Homan, who has led Trump’s agenda on the border at full force, said that ‘absolutely we can’ deport green card holders such as Khalil.

Information war plays by KOBK (Kill-Or-Be-Killed) game theory rules. Kill-Or-Be-Killed in this case is silencing, or ‘killing’, pro-Palestinian information to benefit Israel and ostensibly Jews, though this argument/battle may turn against Jews and do them more harm than good, much as the argument/battle against ‘men in women’s sports’ has devastated the ‘trans women are women’ argument. We the people must understand that freedom of speech is our best weapon against Big Government suppression of reason itself as well as individual rights. I am not sure where I stand on the above case. Selectively prosecuting people to help Jews is not good because: 1) in today’s world, it is not helping them as much as in the past; and 2) why should Jews get so much special treatment when it comes to information? Jewish Supremists have been playing the KOBK information game for centuries, with frenetic intensity for the past 100 plus years. Most readers of this site know all that. What I am pointing our today is at the core of information at large, there is often a KOBK battle. Different sides fight over the information. Leftists who believe Anthropogenic Global Warming support electric car mandates, but then burn Tesla dealers to harm Musk, whom they perceive as being right-wing. It’s all a KOBK battle over information hegemony. I conclude this is a major reason why we must keep promoting good/correct information while destroying bad/incorrect information. ABN

Censorship as a sign of immorality

__________

Consider the last time you saw something that needed to be censored. I personally cannot think of a single time, ever. If you don’t like something you see or read, do what almost everyone does without even thinking about it — ignore it. Or maybe reply if you feel like it. People who want censorship always have something to hide, they are always the bad guys. They are always trying to control your mind. As the world continues evolving toward larger empires armed with inescapable surveillance technology, freedom of speech will become even more important. It is the most important way we the plebs have of communicating with each other and influencing those who rule over us. A decent ruling elite will always find it easier and smarter to keep the plebs happy. Empires fall when they run afoul of the masses. ABN

UPDATE: Take this to next level game theory. We the plebs must deeply sensitize ourselves against any infringement on freedom of speech. We should go bananas every time anyone tries to censor us. This is our best hope for a good future. ABN

Two Big Things Trump can do

__________

ONE: Incorporate Greenland and Canada into USA; form a strong collective alliance with Russia, Europe, Japan, Korea, and other Western-derived and northern nations. This will improve USA and the world immensely, while greatly reducing the chances of another major war. TWO: There is a reasonable possibility Trump will use the NSA database to map out all relationships between and among the very large parasite that has infested USA and the West. If he does that and uses those findings to extirpate that parasite with precision, USA and the West will be freed from the worst drain on their creativity and genius there has ever been. Both of these outcomes are possible. Trump seems to be aware of them and moving in a direction that can make them happen. The above describes probably the best practical outcome we can hope for on this planet. Add to it wise use of new technology, and a good future for the earth will be all but assured. ABN
