A few hours ago the Trump White House announced a Memorandum that marks a far more consequential rupture with the modern architecture of global governance than we expect most headlines, coming over the next few days, will suggest.
The United States has formally withdrawn from 66 international organizations, including bodies tied directly and indirectly to the IPCC ecosystem, following a review that labeled them “contrary to the interests of the United States.” The language of the announcement is unusually blunt, listing dozens of institutions that are, in all likelihood, redundant, mismanaged, captured by activist interests, and increasingly hostile to U.S. sovereignty and prosperity .
What stands out is not merely the scale of the withdrawal, but the pattern that emerges when the organizations are examined as a group. Roughly half—arguably more—bear the unmistakable fingerprints of ideological activism masquerading as technical expertise: permanent bureaucracies funded by public money, recycling grants through opaque NGO networks, and promoting a familiar mix of climate orthodoxy, DEI mandates, and “sustainability” slogans that function less as measurable objectives than as political loyalty tests.
Many of these entities long ago ceased to resemble neutral forums for cooperation. Instead, they operate as financial pass-throughs and narrative enforcement mechanisms, shielding explicitly Marxist or post-Marxist economic assumptions behind the moral language of environmental salvation.
This withdrawal represents a rejection of the idea that American taxpayers are obliged to bankroll ideological projects that cannot demonstrate tangible benefits, measurable outcomes, or even basic managerial competence. The exit from IPCC-adjacent institutions is a blunt, in your face, message that the era of unquestioned deference to transnational climate bureaucracy is over.
Here is the memorandum

DONALD J. TRUMP
Thank heavens and my goodness didn’t the rot go deep?
Tip of a stinking fish.
Tip of a stinking fish.
now to get the endangerment finding reversed – don’t know what is taking so long
Four years from now when AOC tries to put us back in the IPCC hopefully things will have changed in public opinion.
AOC … can you imagine the campaign, Kamala looks like a genius to her 🙂
AOC yaps louder !! And her voice is even more grating and obnoxious.
Kamala is a genius – it was she that picked Tim Walz – or maybe he picked her. Don’t worry!
Her and Gruesome- such a team! I’ll be praying they get the nomination.
Do not underestimate Gavin Newsom as an effective presidential candidate in the 2028 election cycle. Newsom has the backing of the rich and powerful Pelosi organization. He and his people are well connected with every state party organization in his bid for the 2028 nomination.
Perception is reality. Gavin Newsom is the Bill Clinton of the 2020’s. He can dodge and weave on the issues with the best of them. He has the physical appearance and the style of competence, even if he isn’t competent.
Last but not least, he is a heartthrob physically, emotionally, and intellectually with those millions of liberal white women voters who form a powerful block within the Democratic Party’s true blue always-loyal voter base.
I really hate to agree with you, but I must on every point. Personally, I think he’s worse than Clinton. How he can maintain power is unbelievable after what he’s done to California. He almost makes Jerry Brown look good.
Newsom’s going to have to get past all the legal trouble coming his way; i.e., the fraud he’s undoubtedly participated in.
The high speed train from California to Hawaii will make a comeback.
What’s to change? Americans don’t view climate change as a serious theeat.
all the graft and wasted capital via subsidies to green nonsense for starters
Green, DEI, and ESG.
But the idiots we vote for do – as it empowers them to channel our tax money to their cronies.
She’s a liberal pipe dream. As long as democrats continue to support dictators, criminals and illegal aliens they will continue to lose support. Trump is unpopular because of his personality but is WAY more popular than progressives like AOC.
Not many unpopular people get 24/7 news coverage for 20 years. Beloved? Maybe not. Popular? He has to have a voice almost as well recognized as the Florida Mouse with the movie studio.I don’t even remember the last guy’s voice. Other than “come on!” did he ever say anything?
He usually muttered incoherently.
Liberal progressives are still way ahead in or control votes from: vote harvesting, illigal aliens, mail-in fraud, voter machine manipulation and the cemeteries.
Phil R: “Liberal progressives are still way ahead in or control votes from: vote harvesting, illigal aliens, mail-in fraud, voter machine manipulation and the cemeteries.”
Winning elections is a numbers game. In addition to vote harvesting, illegal aliens, mail-in fraud, voter machine manipulation and the cemeteries, the Democrats have a loyal voter base which can be motivated by effective messaging to come out in large numbers, putting them within striking distance of victory.
What was seen in the outcomes of the 2025 election cycle was the use of a highly effective ground game which depends on personal contact with receptive voter communities, combined with a messaging strategy focusing on an affordability crisis affecting large numbers of middle class and low income voters.
What the Democrats also have going for them is the cooperation of the Republican Establishment (GOPe) which controls most of the state party organizations. The GOPe hates Donald Trump with a passion and would prefer to see his MAGA agenda fail, thus keeping the Republican Party in perpetuity as the controlled opposition to the Democrats.
Why is this so? It’s because GOPe politicians and their hangers-on have gotten rich over the past fifty years by systematically betraying the voter constituencies which elected them.
Absolutely agree. Whenever I have a discussion similar to this I always say all you need to win is 50% + 1. If the democrats can keep a valid vote within a percent or so, they can literally raise the dead to push them over the finish line.
One cannot truthfully single out Republicans. Democrats are equally guilty.
Sparta Nova 4, the Democrats plus the GOPe together comprise the UniParty.
The Democrat side of the UniParty is focused on gaining power and money, in that order, in service of the socialist ideology. The GOPe side is focused mainly on increasing its own wealth, using support from globalist economic interests to acquire that wealth.
Both sides of the UniParty are adamantly opposed to the MAGA movement and its America First agenda. MAGA represents a huge threat both to the globalist economic agenda of GOPe Republicans and to the socialst-communist ideological agenda of the Democrats.
Having been involved in Republican Party politics off and on for forty years now, I’ve seen how the party has fallen more deeply over time into the hands of the GOPe Establishment and it hangers on, at the direct expense of the voters who put those GOPe Republicans into office.
But Democrats are overt about it. They ignore wrongdoing or the hypocrisy of their politicians because the ends justify the means.
Republican politicians try to hide their lack of integrity, but many of their voters try to hold their feet to the fire. They try to uncover their politicians who are hypocritical.
I think it is more about the voters than the politicians. Tim Walz would easily be re-elected if he runs again, despite all the fraud that has been uncovered during his administration. Newsome has wasted billions of dollars on nonsense while ignoring major catastrophes, but in general, Californians love him. He parties while they burn or huddle in their homes avoiding COVID. What’s not to love about either of these guys? Unlike Truman, the buck does not stop wherever they are. It’s always someone else’s fault.
That is why it is IMPERATIVE! that $$$ go from your pocket to Individual candidates, NEVER! to the GOP.
I wonder how many absentee ballots the well travelled Renee and Rebecca Good cast in the last election.
Independents now make up the largest voting block. Even the ones who don’t like Trump will hold their noses and vote for a MAGA candidate over a dingbat like AOC.
And how will she do that as a disgraced and under prosecution former member of Congress, pray tell?
See my comment above. She is doing exactly what Democrat (and so-called Independent) voters want her to do. Emote while on stage but steal from the taxpayer to pay her cronies to keep her in power.
Your comment also seems to forget all the prosecutions of Trump went through during his 4 years out of office. We still voted for him, understanding that New Yorkers hate him with a passion because he is no longer a Democrat. When some old woman can suddenly remember that he raped her 40 years ago, and when he calls her nutty for coming up with such a story after all that time, she wins $80 million for slander, you know New Yorkers are blind with irrational hatred. I have several acquaintances who were positive he wouldn’t be able to run a decent campaign, let alone win.
Accusatory Occasional-Cortex is not going to turn into Nancy Pelosi. And Trump winning is no indicator AOC is the Democrat Party’s Great Brownish Hope.
The UN was Franklin Roosevelt’s more
sillyass endeavors, and his nod to Woodrow
Wilson’s equally sillyass League of Nations. Sillyass, because it ignored the self interests of the various states.
“Nations don’t have friends, nations have interests.”
-French President Charles de Gaulle, to Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion
True, but it is in the interest of nations to have friends.
de Gaulle had a rather high opinion of himself- he needed friends to move back to Paris from the UK- and he demanded the right to lead the first allied troops (French of course) back to Paris- lucky for him, his far more powerful friends gave him that
Self aggrandizing, but compares favorably to eg the guy who calls himself president of the Ukraine. If Vlodomir Z had the option of living in fancy hotels asking for foreign money it seems like he’d never set foot in his home country again. I don’t know whether he’s playing his only option but if Greenland invades USA I want a president that makes some appearances at the beachead in Orono.
OK, Igor. I’m sure you pray ever day for the revival of the Soviet Union with its glorious leader, V. Putler.
Checked to see if I was shortchanging VZ. According to AI:
“As of Thursday, January 8, 2026, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is in Nicosia, Cyprus, on a working visit. He is there to meet with key European officials to discuss further support for Ukraine and attend the opening of Cyprus’ presidency of the Council of the European Union”
Guy is probably smarter than me, certainly more accomplished, but does not seem to spend much time in his homeland. He is not there right now.
When Russia invaded the rest of Ukraine (having already taken the Crimea), no-one expected the mighty Russian army to be stopped.
President Biden Called Zelensky and offered him evacuation.
President Zelensky’s reply is famous, “I don’t evacuation. I need ammunition“.
Complaining that Zelensky is fighting on the diplomatic front and not the battlefront is silly. He’s the President. He’s doing his part.
Just as Putin’s internet proxies are doing their part too.
But when given the chance, Zelensky did not run away.
“A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men… [W]e have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated, governments in the civilized world—no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men.” – Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States, The New Freedom, 1913
Trump is making headway against this.
TW Wilson was something of a protofascist. He wanted the country run by “experts”, and had no patience for democratic compromise.
He also offended almost all foreign leaders, with Clemenceau stating “the Good Lord limited himself to ten points”.
Wilson believed that the President should have almost untrammeled power, because the President is the only official elected by all of the People.
Constitutional Government In The United States; Woodrow Wilson; Columbia University Press (1908)
Sillyass? More like traitorous. An entity constructed by a Soviet representative and a US diplomat/ Soviet spy, designed to keep the US in conflict and subvert its sovereignty, is far beyond silly.
The original intention was for the UN to prevent continental/global war.
What has transpired over the past 80 years was proof the UN is an unsuccessful experiment.
I am at a loss to identify a single war the UN halted or prevented.
Time to disband the UN and try something else.
Beautiful!
It’s a great start. Didn’t see UNESCO on the list. Probably quite a few others could be added. Maybe the entire UN. But things are going in the right direction.
The Guardian is outraged they shopped around to find someone to express the outrage

All I am seeing is a lot of leeches losing there jobs.
StoryTip:
Porsche has gone into crisis mode after losing $1.9B on EV car division.
I imagine we are going to hear a lot of squealing from the Radical Left over this.
I look forward to having a good laugh over their consternation.
Piggies squeal when their swill trough isn’t refilled. 🙂
If the lefties are not squealing then you are not punching them hard enough.
Pity the thousands of bureaucrats and contractors who are going to take a huge hit to their
vacationbusiness travel, expense padding and bribery incomes. Even non-US members of these organizations may suffer if they collapse without US funding. Oh, the humanity!The Guardian states it is anti-Trump.
Big bath.
1) They want less EV for business
but also
2) Massive EV write downs are a good place to hide past bad decisions – like recategorizing a hypothetical division manager’s expensed ski junket to the Swiss Alps as battery technology research..
Funny how the piranha media has stopped feasting on Venezuela and Greenland.
Those fickle fiddlers.
I wonder which grasshopper will grab their attention tomorrow.
A lot of lovely NY based sinecures just went out the window. It will be interesting to see if China steps up to fund these organizations since they take no notice of most of them.
I hope Nick Stokes is not affected by those bushfires in northern Victoria, caused by climate change, increased CO2 and everything.

Australia had the devastating 1939 wildfires (Black Friday) – about 5 million acres burnt.
The subsequent inquiry told them how to manage forests better. Which they for a few years until the eco-loons prevented brush clearance – so the 2019/2020 fires had lots of tinder dry fuel.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Friday_bushfires
Something similar happened in California didn’t it?
Around here in the Hunter Valley, the first 2/3 of 2025 was WET (in capital letters)
Oct, Nov and Dec were generally hot and dry.
There is a lot of tinder dry fuel.
We are all hoping some idiot doesn’t start a fire on a windy day.
Don’t fret, Gov Newscum will send someone out to do it to distract from some other ignorant shyte he is doing.
Why would Newscum send anyone to the Hunter Valley in NSW Australia 😉
Except for some coal or some good wine.
If it distracts he will do it.
In CA, a small fire was extinguished. They wanted to protect a flower.
It was not properly monitored to ensure it did not restart. It did and known winds fanned the flames.
Too much fuel load, too much bureaucracy led to low water levels and lack of preparedness.
Too much bureaucracy led to housing build ever closer to the edge of the woodlands with an ever reduced fire break.
As reported, the first small fire was attributed to arson.
All housing is built near or in woodlands or brushlands. Except desert and tundra housing. Look at the freaking map. If you ban my house, I’ll ban yours. No really. So tired of ignorant smarm.
theyre raving up the 30 dead in 2019 ignoring KINGLAKE vic 2009 200+ died
and as long as I remember over 60 ys we cop foul heat nth winds and lightning OR idiots lighting them or farm vehicles etc start em but now? media s all over catastrophic
hell it ALWAYS is a catastrophe bugger all changed except climate bullshit and greentards stopping clearing . do a greendeal to grow trees you CAN NOT allow sheep to graze to clear OR trim /clear poison etc
I’m certain that firefighting is one of Nick Stokes areas of expertise, along with just about everything else.
Nice start, the IPCC is bad, but Cap and Trade is worse.
Is Cap-and-Trade Saving the Planet—or Just Creating the Next Wall Street Bubble? (Copilot AI)
Cap-and-trade sounds like an elegant solution: set a cap on emissions, let companies trade allowances, and watch the market drive efficiency. In reality, it’s less about physics and more about finance.
Here’s how it works: Governments set an emissions cap and issue allowances. Companies that emit less than their allowance can sell credits; those that exceed must buy credits or pay penalties. This creates an artificial market for carbon credits—value driven by regulation, not intrinsic utility. The money flow starts with regulated industries purchasing credits, moves to credit holders and trading desks, and governments skim auction revenue.
Consumers ultimately absorb the cost through higher energy and goods prices. Financial intermediaries—banks, brokers, carbon funds—often profit more than technology innovators, turning this into a trillion-dollar speculative market.
Compare that to a carbon tax: A tax is simple, transparent, and predictable—fixed cost per ton of CO₂. Cap-and-trade offers certainty on emissions but not on price, and it’s prone to lobbying, rent-seeking, and opaque trading. A carbon tax doesn’t guarantee emissions reductions, but it avoids the complexity and corruption risks of a cap-and-trade system. In short: cap-and-trade is a compliance-driven financial ecosystem that incentivizes trading over real decarbonization.
Conclusion:
Cap-and-trade isn’t an environmental solution—it’s an economic distortion. It creates a trillion-dollar compliance market that rewards financial engineering over real emissions reduction, while consumers and manufacturers shoulder the cost. If the goal is genuine decarbonization, transparency and technology—not speculative trading—should lead the way.
Carbon trading AND carbon taxes are all a sham based on junk science.
THERE IS NO NEED to “cap” OR “tax” “carbon emissions,” because THEY HAVE NOT CAUSED ANY PROBLEMS.
Carbon “cap and trade” = SCAM
Carbon “taxes” = SCAM
More “systems” to be gamed and lobbied to transfer more wealth to the politically connected in return for NOTHING OF VALUE.
Think of how worse off we’d be if the 2024 election had gone the other way. Or still, the 2016 election, without which, 2024 would have likely been irrelevant. The people of the country woke up, just in time, but it was enough. We’ve seen enough, and now we’re, dare I say, building back better. Now, how bad will it have to get for Europe to follow suit? They have a few promising governments in Eastern Europe, but that won’t be enough.
“Think of how worse off we’d be if the 2024 election had gone the other way.”
We would be living a nightmare right now.
I don’t think we are safe from the leftwing loonies. Kamala Harris, the obvious moron, got 75 million people to vote for her. Well, actually, the Leftwing Media got 75 million people to vote for Kamala.
If the Democrats had a candidate that could put two sentences together, we might all, meaning the whole world, be in trouble. With the exception of the communist nations who would be flourishing. Which is why the rest of us would be in trouble.
Democrats are Bad News for anyone they govern.
Kackles may have received 75 million votes but we cannot be sure they came from 75 million real people.
Somalis love her!
I bet they do!
This is true.
Nobody voted FOR Harris. They voted against Trump or just followed Team D obediently.
I’m sure that applies to a lot of Democrat voters.
The question is why would they think the Democrat candidate was better than Trump?
Why did the dogs salivate when Pavlov rang the bell?
Good answer! 🙂
“Now, how bad will it have to get for Europe to follow suit?”
Good question! Will the pathetic sheep there ever throw off the EU chains they shackled themselves to?
Blackouts in Berlin and massive winter storm across Europe currently ongoing will or maybe will be a wake up call, especially if much of Europe goes black..
UN Framework Convention on Climate Change is the climate treaty. Much bigger than the IPCC. Woohoo
It’s all over but the crying! 🙂
The Europeans are going to go crazy! They are even more isolated from the rest of the world now that Trump has taken this action. The EU/UK will be the only ones trying to reduce their CO2 output.
And of course, the EU/UK doesn’t produce enough CO2 to raise the temperatures enough to measure anyway, even if you believe the IPCC numbers.
The bottom line: The EU/UK cannot save the world on their own. They should give it up now, before they completely bankrupt themselves. Are you listening Mad Ed?
Mad Ed only listens to the voices in his head.
Minor correction.
And of course, the EU/UK doesn’t produce enough CO2 to raise the atmospheric CO2 concentration enough to measure anyway, even if you believe the IPCC propaganda.
Wow, I skimmed the list and missed that one. I should have been actively looking for it.
Far too few people (and exactly no one in the media) understand the IPCC exists to defend the position the FCCC already took. The IPCC is not, and was never intended to be impartial. It exists precisely to be biased. That is literally its job.
I didn’t get why the IPCC didn’t fall under the UN list. But whatever.
Somebody needs to kick off a bill in congress to prevent dragging the US back into the FCCC/IPCC and related crap without a vote in congress so we don’t get put back into it if another Eco-Nazi gets elected POTUS.
I did not see COP on the list. I wonder why it was not on the list.
Harold,
could it be that attendees pay so financing the farce, if you don’t attend then there is no cost?
COP is the annual meeting of the UNFCCC which is on the list.
Man with heart disease says cardiology is a hoax and declares himself cured.
Piece of bent, mentally-corroded metal types gibberish on forum! Thinks it is clever.
Apparently he thought the nail gun was empty and, like John Eric Hexum, put an end to logical, coherent thought!
Heart disease is a genuine problem. Climate change is not.
Congratulations on your survival.
Simple analogies for simple minds.
“CO2 is the planet’s thermostat.”
Chuckle. Man who can’t swim falls overboard and grabs anchor.
Man without heart disease is told by chicken little that a cheeseburger will kill him. Man survives cheeseburger, says that chicken little is spreading a hoax, declares himself just fine.
You really should seek treatment for your tourette’s.
Sophistry.
Old saying….
“Only a fool is sure of himself while the wise man is full of doubt.” It will probably not apply to heart disease, but it does in science and especially climate change.
Man with small laptop feels compelled to write a sentence in the same format because words are cheap and easy then declares himself a poor typist.
The climate canard could aptly be described as “man THINKS he MIGHT have a hang nail, demands radiation, chemo, and world’s most expensive new pharmaceutical products to save him from his failing health.
This is big and excellent news.
The donks and legacy media are going to have fits.
The media wants to be rebranded as the “Legacy Press”
please stop helping them from achieving that endeavor…
Even Goebbels left a legacy.
Sadly true and we suffer it every day.
How sweet it is!
Story Tip
Somewhat along these same lines…
Will PBS, NPR shutdown? What to know after news of CPB closure
“After more than half a century in operation, the nonprofit responsible for funding public media giants NPR and PBS will dissolve following millions in budget cuts spurred by the Trump administration.
The board of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) voted to dissolve the organization on Jan. 5 after Congress voted in July to claw back $1.1 billion that had been allocated for its use.”
*****************
I don’t listen to NPR and rarely watch PBS, so I won’t miss them at all. These are two fewer news outlets that we will have around to toe the climate alarmist party line for us all.
Doesn’t that just devastate you?
I stopped listening to NPR when I determined that they couldn’t go five minutes on any news program without mentioning the universal bogeyman: climate change. Literally, there is nothing that climate change could not do or influence in some way. Always there, always bad. It was (is?) so egregious as to be ridiculous. They be-clowned themselves often and tirelessly.
Oops. Two fewer news outlets that we will NOT have around to toe the climate alarmist party line.
It might be a case of “I was too young/naïve to notice” but I loved WGBH channel 2 Boston as a kid. I remember biology was African Savannah animals, history was Ken Burns Civil War series and economics was The McGlaughlin Group. I reversed course earlier than climate craziness took over. I remember NPR’s mono-political soapbox got really intense during Desert Shield. Long after everyone was convinced there were never any WMD’s every NPR show about every topic from butterfly mating habits to economic conditions in San Salvador had to have a long diatribe on the WMD’s. Now in phase 3 of realization I see they probably had nothing else to say and they could recycle a WMD story while they shaved and put on socks under the steering wheel during their morning commute.
Outstanding.
Overall, Yes!
However, I would make this correction to the above article’s second paragraph:
“. . . following a review that labeled them ‘contrary to
the interests of the United Statesscience.”The USA is only out of bits of the UN. It is reportedly still in NATO, WTO, IMF, World Bank, OECD, IAS, IAEA, ILO, FAO, UNICEF, UNHCR, UNEP. Maybe they will leave some of those too, but in the meantime there appears to be an overreaction. Not much has changed, the USA has just withdrawn from a few minor organisations that have gone off the rails (or that were created off the rails in the first place).
At least they are acting in those other organizations too. Like Oct25 stopping the CO2 tax for ships, which was pushed via IMO (International Maritime Organization)
Not all of those are UN.
What I meant was they are only out of bits of the UN and not much else. ie, they are still in orgs that are not UN.
What’s that word they use these days about clear statements like this? “Based.”
This is BASED!
On the climate topic, I encourage skeptics of climate alarm to appreciate why there was never a good scientific reason for the IPCC to have been formed, or for the UNFCCC to be put in place. The expectation that incremental CO2 might represent a risk to the “climate” through harmful “warming” was physically unsound ALL ALONG.

If one reads the Guardian piece, the crisis is accelerating.
The only “crisis” there ever was is the Climate Fascists getting their way and implementing their stupid ideas.
Comment inspired me to google universities that offer climate science degrees in 2026. I think
1) What possibly will they teach?
and
2) Oh those poor kids who started a climate science program in 2023!
They COULD teach about our limited knowledge about the Earth’s climate and how it has changed on geologic time scales, and incite some genuine scientific curiosity to learn more about it.
But undoubtedly, they will just indoctrinate the students with climate propaganda.
The wormtongue subculture cobweb is cleared until a Dem comes back in to refund them all in the name of cobweb reparations.
Greatest President again and again and again
Not sure he is the greatest President, but he certainly is the disrupter we need!
Sanity left the IPCC years ago
Bold to assume it was ever there.
Beside the strike against the IPCC-FCCC-climate change grifter netwwork, there are also some gemstones of taxdollar wasting organizations on this list.
-The Science and Technology Center in Ukraine (STCU). Founded in 1993 “to help scientists and researches involved in the research, development and production of nuclear, biological and chemical assets in former Soviet member states to transition from military to civilian, market oriented careers”. Well, 33 years should be enough to help them find a civilian career. But the organization is still alive and paying employees for pretending some activity as long as nobody pulls the plug.
-The Venice comission, Founded in 1990 after the fall of the Iron curtain in Europe, as an advisory body, to assist the former communist states in the CEE region to adopt democratic changes to their constitutions. Also here you might think that 36 years should be enough to do so. Instead the Venice-commission now even has 61 members. This is how self inflation of bureaucratic or NGO bodies works.
The STCU? Is that organization behind all the bio labs in Ukraine that had to be hidden from the Russians, thus leading to the 2014 color revolution and the subsequent SMO? How sad that our elites (especially MI6) still seem to believe that it’d be easier to overthrow the Russian government than form mutually beneficial trade agreements with them.
“On April 26, 1986, a sudden surge of power during a reactor systems test destroyed Unit 4 of the nuclear power station at Chernobyl, Ukraine”
2026-1986 = 40 years ago, but today:
“Chernobyl payments involve massive, ongoing government expenditures in Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia for evacuee housing, healthcare, social benefits (like disability/pension), and cleanup efforts (liquidators), alongside international funding for containment and cleanup, though compensation for individuals has often been minimal and inconsistent, with historical Soviet payouts covering initial relocation but struggles continuing for long-term health and hardship.”
Reminds me of:
“In the year following Hurricane Katrina, FEMA deployed more than 12,000 FEMA travel trailers and 9,800 mobile homes to house disaster victims along the Gulf Coast.”
Then:
“In the case of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, deadlines were extended to allow people to live in trailers for up to 45 months.”
Then:
“In May 2009, FEMA announced an end to its temporary housing program that it started in the aftermath of Katrina, but presented with the more than 3,400 people still living in FEMA trailers in Louisiana and Mississippi who faced eviction…”
Lesson I take: If a 1-year benefit is created, think of how big it will be in 10 years. Connection to IPCC is that low-effort, decent-pay jobs at IPCC turned into a lengthy benefit for a cohort with nowhere else to go.
White Collar Welfare.
What about the UN Committee for the Protection of Committees or the Save the NGOs Funding Fund or the Save the Diplomats Luncheon Funding Committee.
Let’s be clear: the sovereignty of the USA no longer has any right to exist, as the USA currently says that no-one on earth can own oil and gas organisations unless they pay tribute to US gangsters.
Lukoil International has been ‘banned’ from operating by US gangsters, who now want US corporations to buy it. Those with education will know that Lukoil has interests in many countries, including Iraq, Kazakhstan and parts of Europe.
It should of course be the case that those nations should have the right to say ‘We don’t want the USA stealing our interests and we would prefer to engage with Russia than the USA. The USA has no right to any say in how our minerals are commercialised.’
When psychopaths like Rubio, Miller, Trump et al say that ‘no-one but the US and its vassals can own oil and gas, anywhere on earth’, they have basically abrogated the right to human life. They certainly do not have the right to legal due process and justice for them should consist of: ‘You’re guilty. Execution by military firing squad, 7am tomorrow morning!’
That would take about 5 minutes of the court’s time….
no-one can say that these monsters do not have it coming to them…
Yes, whatever is done to you you have coming.
WOW.. truly deep-seated anti-USA TDS.
Russia, Cuba, and other dictator destroyed countries, must feel so lucky to have supporters like you. !
Let’s be clear: You really should seek professional help.
They would probably convince him he is trans.
“When psychopaths like Rubio, Miller, Trump et al say that ‘no-one but the US and its vassals can own oil and gas, anywhere on earth’, they have basically abrogated the right to human life.”
Can you provide the quote for that? I’m skeptical that they said anything like that. It looks like another leftwing, anti-Trump distortion of reality.
No link. I guess he was just making it up.
Are you ok? I’ve seen plenty of TDS but your’s is way out there.
When did they say that “no-one but the US and its vassals can own oil and gas, anywhere on earth” ?
They never said that, rtj1211 is just making things up.
Venezuela wouldn’t even have oil to sell if it weren’t for US companies that built the infrastructure, only to have it all stolen from them.
Whatever is clear to you is in your own head, and nowhere else.
The globalist subjugation of nation states has hit a dead end in America. Europeans need to abandon the EU to regain their sovereignty.
