** Germany's Murder of Europe ([link removed])

* Climate, of course, is a global issue: if Europe reduces its emissions to zero, while the rest of the world continues to increase them, the effect on the climate will be zero. As a result, the German plan will not save a single euro in terms of the damage caused by global warming and extreme events.
* So, the investment needed each year would not be €1.5 trillion invested to save 0.03% of GDP per year. It would be €30 trillion — €1.5 trillion per year for 20 years — invested to change absolutely nothing in the climate of Europe.
* There are no serious analysts left who still maintain that the objective of the Paris Agreement will be achieved; the Paris Agreement is obsolete and to pretend otherwise, as the European Commission is doing, is misleading, irresponsible, and not even scientific.
* In practical terms, whole swathes of our populations have entered into a pattern that is the ultimate dream of environmentalists: degrowth. In other words, their impoverishment.
* Ironically, if the IPCC's projections are to be believed, global warming may occur, and we will adapt to it through innovation. All the resources that Europe is burning up in a phantasmatic "energy transition", which has failed and will fail -- will just burn through money that we will then not have for innovation. What will Europe do when these misguided ideologies have permanently broken the back of its economy?

In a preparatory impact report, a copy of which has been obtained by the Financial Times before official release, the European Commission estimates that to achieve the target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2040 then 100% in 2050 — the main objective of the "European Green Deal" — Europe will need to invest €1.5 trillion a year from 2031 to 2050.

1.5 trillion euros a year. That is equivalent to 10% of the Europe Union's entire GDP for 2022 -- every year! Apart from a war effort, there is no objective of any kind that has ever required the diversion of 10% of a continent's GDP by political decree.

The new German utopia

This number shows us that, while Germany has had to give up imposing its hatred of nuclear power on its European partners, it is determined to inflict on Europe the rest of the environmental utopia, i.e. total decarbonization, even at the cost of economic collapse and freedoms.

** Schumer Warns Israel to Spare Hamas or Face Sanctions ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

* Schumer demanded that Israel call a new election and remove its current government from power.
* If the Israelis vote wrongly again, the Biden administration "should use the tools at its disposal to make sure our support for Israel is aligned with our broader goal of achieving long-term peace and stability." Peace and stability paradoxically means a "Palestinian" terrorist state.
* What did Netanyahu do wrong? According to Schumer, he won't commit to a terrorist state and insists on finishing off Hamas in Rafah. Or, as Schumer put it in his Orwellian tortured diction, he "won't commit to a military operation in Rafah that prioritizes protecting civilian life." The kind of operation the Biden administration has in mind is a few targeted strikes on Hamas leaders when no civilians are around. That's the way we fought and lost in Afghanistan. Biden would like to turn Israel into another Afghanistan with Hamas as the Taliban.
* [M]any Jewish Democrat officials, all responding to Biden's call for a "Come to Jesus meeting" with Netanyahu. The actual call however is coming from another deity entirely who is worshiped in Dearborn, Michigan. Biden is desperate to end the war in order to appease Muslim Democrats in Michigan who have made no secret of their support for the terrorists.
* This is part of a plan to put forward a "technocratic" government that would not contain members of Hamas, but which would still represent and take orders from Hamas. Under such a false flag, Hamas would retain power without having an official role.

US Senator Chuck Schumer stood at the Senate podium and laid out his vision of the "four obstacles to peace". These, according to the Senate Majority Leader were, Hamas, "right wing Israelis", PLO terrorist leader Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Having equated Israeli conservatives with Hamas, Schumer demanded that Israel call a new election and remove its current government from power. And if Israelis did not choose to obey, he warned that the "United States will have no choice but to play a more active role in shaping Israeli policy by using our leverage to change the present course."

That is an obvious euphemism for anything from the withdrawal of aid to economic sanctions.
