“Georgia Guidestones”:
Increasing evidence suggests that Washington is using Global Warming (and social murder in general) to engage in “social cleansing”:
This includes, in no small amount links to a man, Charles Koch, a Republican oil tycoon whose father Fred Koch was instrumental in Hitler realizing his holocaust. The apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
Again, when it comes to Global Warming Washington, the Pentagon, and Business leaders know precisely what is going to happen and yet they are choosing not to do what needs to be done. And their doing so his is indicative of more than just the usual profit motive.
Govt inaction on all manner of social murder is “social cleansing” in disguise.

“How many here think we will see 2023?”
Answer by Mark Trewick:
Joe wrote to me a long time ago when I asked for an opinion on how long we had left.
The reply was a bit different to not exaggerating.
(The Republicans collected money from Registered Republicans in 1977 - 1978 to build the Georgia Guidestones. My father was one of those millionaires who was solicited. He refused their request as the brochure that was handed out to the potential donors in a meeting at Carlsbad, California called for turning Southern Asia, Africa and Latin America into Nature Preserves. My father was married to a beautiful Samoan Island Royal Princess, and Dad saw the Pamphlet to be Racist.
I saw the pamphlet on his study desk and asked him about it when I was home for Christmas from Naval Officer Candidate School in Rhode Island.
Well, in 1980 the Georgia Guidestones were erected, and they called for a Global Population Reduction to below half a Billion people. Right now that would require us to kill over Seven Billion People.
The initial plan was to use viruses to wipe out those Billions of people who needed to Go! By 1990 - 91 the Republicans were talking about using Global Heating to remove the undesirable people of color in proximity to the Equator to gert down to the Georgia Guidestone MANDATE of half a Billion. I was in management with AT&T (SBC) at the time. When I attended social engagements in Rich Republican houses, many people would talk about Global Heating and the fact that it would help remove our surplus population on the planet. When I asked how they were going to stop the global heating before it killed everybody, I was informed that the plan was to use nuclear weapons to blast Sulfur, Dirt and Dust into the stratosphere to block out sunlight for up to two years. That would provide enough cooling to stop Global Heating in its tracks.
The Rich Republicans have been building underground shelters by the thousands so they can survive the coming riots when the people realize that they are going to die. After most of the potential rioters (the Unrich and Unfed - about 6 Billion) will be dead when the Republicans use the Nukes.(nuclear weapons) to freeze the planet. Using all of their formulas and math from their paid scientists, they project that we will see a new spring in slightly less than two years. The refreezing of the Arctic is the major goal and that could be accomplished in a year and a half. The only problem is that the Nuclear Winter that they initiate will kill another Billion people above 32 - 33 degrees Latitude.
If everything goes perfect, there will be about 400,000,000 people on the Earth.
If the Republicans screw up, we will probably all die.
It is a toss up. We know what they are going to do, but we are not certain of the end result. Personally, I do not expect to live through this.)
Joe Neanderbarth, this was 3 years ago.”
Correspondence of original inquiry:
“Hi Joe, thanks for accepting my fr.
I’m going to cut straight and ask “Do you personally believe, excluding hope, that human existence is possible beyond the end of the middle of this century?”
“My personal belief is that it’s not. This is the conclusion ive made from hearing what other far more learn’ed people than me have said on the matter. I’ve had interest in lots of things in my later years. Climate change being the one subject that tied in with all the others, I guess, haha.”
“Anyhow, that’s where im at with all this latest research and science. Many things are still to be understood but we’ll only learn when its too late and its too late.”

It may not seem like it, but it will be mercifully sudden and swift. And yes, the rats that brought it on, our politicians, will disappear, scurry away out of sight like Hitler’s political and economic elite did at the first sign that Nazi Germany had lost its war:
Peter Carter:
“End of 2021 state of the climate system and ignored Earth emergency. The future is being ended.”
“State of Our Climate at the End of 2021:
Accelerating Deterioration of the Climate System with No Response but to Continue
= Globally disastrous 1.5C in 10 years and multiple tipping point planet catastrophe 2C before 2050”
1. The rapid rebound in post Covid-19 emissions and COP26 showed high-emitting governments have no intention of doing anything but keep pushing fossil fuels
2. Current policies put the world at about 3C by 2100, much higher, albeit slower, after 2100 (Climate Action Tracker, UNEP)
3. Fossil fuel subsidies have been increasing and will persist until at least after 2025
4. There is no planned reform or rationalization of the constant global GDP-increase world economy
5. Globally disastrous 1.5C is unavoidable, with no rapid emissions decline and an emissions increase planned, at around 2030 (IPCC 2021 AR6 WG1)
6. Without immediate rapid global cuts in emissions – only continued increase – planetary catastrophic 2C will occur around 2045 (IPCC 2021 AR6 WG1)
7. January 2020 was 1.5C warmer than 1880-1920 average (first month to be at 1.5C)
8. Climate-change-driven extreme weather events of all kinds are increasing, with compound events, which will continue (IPCC 2021 AR6 WG1)
9. Clean, new, renewable energy is increasing but only accounts for 1.2% of global energy (2021 IEA, US EIA)
10. There is no sign of any increase in low-carbon, high-energy-dense nuclear fission energy, to displace coal
11. Atmospheric CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions (CO2-equivalent) are increasing at an accelerating rate (PBL 2021)
12. Surface ozone (GHG & Global Warming feedback) in the northern hemisphere is increasing (Gaudel et al, August 2020)
13. Cumulative CO2 emissions and other climate indicators are tracking the worst-case RCP8.5 (RCP8.58 tracks CO2 emissions, R. Schwalm, 2020)
14. Atmospheric CO2 is now 417 ppm and CO2-eq 504 ppm (NOAA GHG Index 2021), putting the world at planetary catastrophic 2C long-term equilibrium warming
15. All atmospheric greenhouse gas levels are currently increasing at an accelerating rate
16. Estimated radiative heat forcing is increasing rapidly, but NASA & NOAA (June 2021) found Earth’s energy imbalance doubled over the past 14 years
17. Since 2015, global warming has been above 1.1C, a series of warmest years (including 2021)
18. Global arming average and global warming ind3ex have continued to accelerate over the past 10 years
19. Summer of 2021 was a record high surface heating for global land
20. July 2021 was the hottest month on record
21. The Arctic is now warming 3X faster than the global average (AMAP 2021)
22. The 2021 end of summer Arctic sea ice volume was a record low (NOAA, Arctic Report Card, 2021)
23. The Artic carbon sink has switched from carbon sink to source (NOAA Arctic Report Card, 2016 & 2019)
24. The AMOC (great ocean circulation conveyer) is on a slowing trend
25. Since 2007, the mass of the Antarctic and Arctic ice has been rapidly declining
26. Seal level rise is accelerating, now mainly from ice sheet melting
27. The Amazon and tropical rainforests have switched from carbon sink to source (Qin et al, 29 April 2021, Nature)
28. The amplification of Arctic warming (compared to globa0 has been increasing since 2000
29. Thawing Arctic permafrost is releasing methane, CO2, and nitrous oxide – feedback emissions
30. Ocean heating, ocean acidification, and ocean de-oxygenation, all damaging and more so in combination, are accelerating
31. Ocean extremes of heat (marine heatwaves), surface acidification, and de-oxygenation, are increasing and increasingly occurring in combination i.e., compound marine extremes (Gruber, 15 Dec 2021)

Civilization as we’ve known it is overran d the biosphere that enabled it is not coming back in a time frame meaningful to mankind.
We can either:
voluntarily make the change in a planned & organized fashion minimizing costs and disruption (maybe even improving long term prospects)
OR
we can continue operating under the alt-right DemGOP conservative ideology that govt shouldn’t make rules (as they may ultimately hurt the wealth of the already rich) or spend money on society and incur the worst possible outcome in an adhoc, chaotic fashion, maximizing the expense, as well as human suffering involved, until the nation deteriorates to offering nothing more for the nonrich but a feral existence and the rich have whittled down govt to a wealth protection and enhancement mechanism using the military both at home and abroad
But today’s Democrats and Republicans wealth concentrating model of not recognizing the external costs associated with fossil fuel in order to create an artificially low retail price that enables the rich to collect the maximum surplus profit is bad is for a general economy in our situation.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND, anything short of complete and immediate: 1) cessation of all fossil fuels, and 2) a 100% conversion to a green economy, assumes mass death bordering on attempted omnicide of TODAY’s generation.
By conservative Democrats’ and Republicans’ own documented plan - the “Georgia Guidestones” – they intend on killing people like you, the reader, via their environmental neglect.

“There has never actually been a lockdown in the United states.
Haphazard moments in time where businesses shut down and inconvenience working people while COVID cases continue to rise doesn’t count as lockdown.”
“China enacts local “precision lockdowns”, sanitizing neighborhoods and opening mass testing centers that can process millions of PCR tests a day. Local gov’t works with mass orgs to deliver free food and basic necessities. Businesses are also required to continue paying workers.”

A little COVID math to start the day.
A bit crude, not taking into account environmental factors, and age of respective nations .
But …
If The People’s Republic China had adopted the COVID policies of...
...Norway ? -they'd have 340,000 deaths.
...Netherlands ? -they'd have 1.7 MILLION deaths.
...Sweden ? -they'd have 2.1 MILLION deaths.
...the USA ? they'd have 3.5 MILLION deaths.
Under China’s COVID ZERO policies, they have 4 ,636 deaths…
BUT AT WHAT COST?!?!
The BMJ ( British medical journal ) published this set of articles and studies from western and Chinese virologists on the ground in china.
BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL ( BMJ ) - In two years, the COVID -19 pandemic has swept the entire globe and caused over 250 million infections and 5 million deaths, despite unprecedented efforts to stop it.
The People’s Republic of China was the first country affected by COVID and held the world’s interest as it battled to understand and contain this new pathogen that today rules billions of peoples daily existence .
The People’s Republic of China has reported only 0.05% of the total number of global COVID cases , and 1% of deaths , despite making up 19% of the worlds population.
While the United States, at 5% of the worlds population ; its policies or rather lack of coherent policies has led to 25 % of the globes COVID Cases, and 20% of the worlds COVID Deaths .
The question past partisan politics is , what can the world learn from China’s response to SARS-CoV-2 and all its variants to date .
This collection of BMJ articles sheds light on China’s pandemic experience and draws out lessons for the rest of the world.

“The moral priorities of our self-evident truths
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by the Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. - - That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. - -
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” - The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America; July 4, 1776
Not that Life comes before Liberty in the test above. Our Founders expressed our nation’s values by priority, which tells us that the conditions necessary for people to flourish have greater value than the liberties to act as we please, especially when actions either inhibit or prevent someone else’s path to fundamental personal well-being. It says that our right to be free from exploitation always exceeds the freedom for other to exploit us. This priority should be taken seriously and applied in decision-making at every level of commerce and government. And any public policy or law that empowers individuals or institutions to exploit humanity and our planet causing unnecessary and avoidable harm should be considered illegitimate criminal acts of violence, where our highest value is Life, not Liberty, on the hierarch of all social values.

“Hi, happy extinction!
If you appreciate the realities of overshoot, cascading feedback loops, and near term human extinction, you can sometimes feel alone.
I've set up meetings over zoom before, where people can share in that grief and loss, and cry, and laugh, and try to come to terms with our current state of planetary hospice. They've been reasonably successful, so I'm doing more open one.
This invite will be posted on several groups where generally NTHE people gather. The meeting is NOT intended for people who expect our first BOE to occur in the 2030-2050 timeframe, or people who think we can just set up some mirrors and plant some trees and reverse the greatest energy imbalance this planet has ever seen.
This is a meeting for realists. If you want to set up a "Medium Term Human Extinction" discussions meeting, be my guest. This is not the place.
This is a place for realists to meet and share their pain.
Meeting not endorsed or guaranteed by anyone. Free entry, no refunds. Tickets at the door. There is no door. Nothing matters. Everyone is going to die. Thanks for playing

“Who’s going to pay for it?”
Last words I’ll never forget, this was the response my patient gasped out (between labored breaths) to me and my team after we explained that he needed to be intubated and placed on a ventilator. We then called his wife to have speak to her for what was likely his opportunity, as many patients do not recover once tubed.
This situation is by far the worst thing I’ve witnessed in my collective 12 years of critical care and anesthesia. Next-level heartbreak is having to hear a dying patient use his last words to worry about healthcare finances.
This country is a FAILED STATE, and it’s so SICKENING to witness firsthand more blatantly than ever.

COLD HARD FACTS
“As an ice-core scientist I must correct the misinformation from Graeme Hodges (Letters 3/1, on carbon levels controlling temperature(.
Here are some facts. 1) the atmospheric concentration of CO2 is both higher and in rising orders of magnitude faster than at any time in the past 800,000 years. 2) The source of this CO2 increase is fossil fuel burning (as demonstrated by isotopic markers in the ice core data). 3) increasing CO2 drives increasing temperature; ice core data supports that a doubling of CO2 will drive warming of 2.5 to 4C {mankind goes extinction around 3C}
I’d urge readers to get information about climate science from reputable sources such as the CSIRO, Australian Academy of Science, Australian Antarctic Division and the Weather Bureau.
