Now do NK troops in Ukraine.

You’d have to be the only person on the planet who doubts Norks are fighting for the Russians against Ukraine.

10 Events from 2024 They Don’t Want You to Remember

I remember it well.

The religion of climate alarmism @AlexStarling77

“The 2009 story of “climategate” has been almost completely erased from the national consciousness. A reminder: the efforts of key players in the climate alarmist camp to produce data that supported the AGW (anthropogenic global warming) hypothesis were shown to be somewhat irregular. Computer code that was used to produce temperature models required the application of copious quantities of “fudge factors” to produce the temperature hockey sticks that were needed to scare the populace.  

One of the entities that controls this narrative is the IPCC, the International Panel on Climate Change, a UN body. Through various working groups, this supranational religious order regularly publishes papal decrees that update the liturgy to be distributed to the masses by the priestly orders, such as the Behavioural Insights Team, aka the Nudge Unit. One of the fundamental tenets of this religion is that “one of the defining challenges of the 21st century [is] human-induced climate change”.  Specifically, there is an irreversible “tipping point” of warming due to the anthropogenic influence of greenhouse gases (CO2, methane, etc.) being released into the atmosphere. 

As I have written about previously, heretics who speak out against the priesthood’s wishes get quite rapidly closed down. In fact, it seems that the priesthood wishes to make such wrongspeak a criminal offence. To limit the chances of any questioning plebeian masses going off-piste, the UN works with popular search engines to ensure that top search results align with their orthodoxy. Thankfully, the flailings of the Monbiots and ludicrous talk of “global boiling” from old men in suits have provoked some modest pushback from certain quarters. The new head of the IPCC, Jim Skea, has struck a different tone from his predecessor: “The world won’t end if it warms by more than 1.5 degrees”.  Such words are in marked contrast to recent claims about man-made climate catastrophes and fatally undermine the justification for our aggressive Net Zero policies.

But the underlying articles of faith remain, as yet, unchanged. Apparently, we must still “battle against climate change”. The “short-term focus should remain expanding renewable electricity to reduce emissions from fossil fuel electricity generation and from internal combustion engine vehicles”.  Hmm.  Forgive my scepticism about throwing perfectly functioning vehicles into landfills to be replaced by a completely new technology. A new technology with a supply chain based on raiding the earth’s crust for rare elements with an as-yet untested post-processing/reuse/recycling infrastructure.

It is high time that the heretics get to say their piece.

It is an article of faith for the IPCC that reducing CO2 (and other greenhouse gas) emissions can somehow effect a reversal of recent climate changes. This is a sacrament upon which rests the whole Net Zero edifice.

FALSE

Sub-sacraments are threefold.

Firstly, CO2 emissions have gone up materially over the last few hundred years.

TRUE

Secondly, this is primarily due to human activity since the industrial revolution.

FALSE

Thirdly, there is a direct causal link that these emissions have created most – if not all – global warming/boiling/climate change. 

FALSE

These all have to be true to justify the breakneck pace of decarbonisation efforts.”

BUT THEY ARE SIMPLY NOT TRUE:

Interesting link in the piece, Roger. It talks about the potential for substantial job losses in the programming field. Something the Archimedes appears to be angry about.

How AI helps the tech giantsArtificial intelligence will help tech giants get even bigger. What will it mean for their human employees?

Just to put things into perspective, there are 85,000 H-B1 related visas offered each year.

The number of H-1B visas issued annually is capped and depends on categories set by U.S. law:

1. Regular Cap: 65,000 H-1B visas are issued annually under the regular cap.
2. Master’s Cap: An additional 20,000 visas are reserved for applicants with advanced degrees (master’s or higher) from U.S. institutions.

The US workforce is around 160 million and 34% represents white males.

I don’t quite know the estimate caused by DEI displacement as well as limited advancement opportunities of white males. Let’s say, it’s 5% in total.

That would mean there could be up to 2.7 million white males adversely impacted by DEI polices either in recruitment or limited advancement due to skin color.

H-B1 needs to be fixed, but it’s nickles and dimes compared to the elephant in the room.

Unconvincing?

Trans, you will always remain unconvincing.

Name a few of the fake and the convincing ones.

Some of the recent ones I’ve seen involved a suicide note, a ‘long distance massed attack’, a pic of a Russian from Siberia.

And if it is true, what would you say then? If there’s “convincing” evidence.

Let’s have some fun.

I also don’t quite get your need to deny the Nork thing. Why wouldn’t Pukin want to put outside Nork troops through the meat grinder instead of his own? Also, if given the opportunity rationally he should go for it in a big way.

Trans, it’s new year’s eve. Try and give the trolling a rest for the evening. Go drink some more and go to bed. Resume trolling and the frantic multiple down and up ticks in the morn.

Woke is dead — let’s make sure it never comes back

You don’t limit your casualties by making yourself operationally less capable.

How would Pukin be limiting effectiveness by throwing 10,000 Norks at the Ukrainians? If the Norks are killed en masse, why would Pukin give a shit? He has people thrown out of hotel balconies and also has bombs planted in adveraries private jets. He wouldn’t give a rats about the Norks. As for less capability: the circumstances they’re used, or more correctly, abused wouldn’t change things.

I have a reasonable idea of their infantry tactics because I’ve listened to interviews with foreign mercenaries that fought for Ukraine, seen drone footage of assaults, and so on.

Please.

Also, given the claim above that SK were concocting false flags about NK, I wonder if the claims of NK troops in Ukraine are connected. Wouldn’t surprise me since SK intelligence is implicated in Yoon’s plan.

You don’t appear to apply the same doubting Thomas routine to your guys. It appears to be only one way.

Why do you want to narrowly focus on H1Bs and not mass immigration?

Why not as that’s been the focus discussion.

The people that are critical of H1B also want to limit other avenues too. And yes DEI is most certainly a symptom of mass immigration post -1965. There is largely no DEI ‘problem’ without it.

Yeah naaa. DEI is symptom of hard feminism and the descendants of slaves, otherwise DEI would be as pervasive in other high immigration countries and it’s not.

Oh sure, I’m for severe limits on mass immigration but for DEI. That would make a lot of sense.

DEI is a symptom on its own.
