Posted in: Trump and Musk's dismantling of government is shaking foundations of US democracy See in context
Wonderful! Good for Trump and Musk. i pray they succeed. If only Japan, or even better my country the UK had a similar initiative. We need to massively reduce the size of the state which increasingly exits solely to serve itself and is a sort of make-work scheme for the otherwise unemployable. People all over the world are realising that 90% of what governments do is unnecessary and even damaging. We don’t need politicians, most government agencies are useless and there is almost nothing that the state does that isn’t better done by the private sector. And not just domestically but the same principle applies internationally. What is NATO for? The Soviet Union no longer exists. What is the EU for? To make those who work for it rich and impoverish the disenfranchise the people of the bloc. What is the WHO for? I could go on and on…
Sufferers from Trump Derangement Syndrome will never admit it of course, but they are a lost cause. On this at least, he is unquestionably right.

Posted in: Trump prepares to withdraw from Paris climate agreement, NYT reports See in context
Excellent news. The Paris Accord is a sham, even those who believe in the so-called ‘climate crisis’ ought to admit that. Fantastic to have a climate realist in power again. Hopefully, there is still time for the horrendous damage of lunatic ‘green’ policies to be stopped and sanity restored.

Posted in: Trump's climate change denial and green rollbacks poised to fuel warming See in context
The idea that Trump just ‘denies’ the so-called ‘climate crisis’ through gut feeling and ignorance is wrong. He was closely advised in his first term by William Happer one of the world’s most distinguished scientists and a noted sceptic. Check his bio, its stellar and his authority unquestionable. It is important to understand that Happer, and the many other highly esteemed sceptics don’t ‘deny’ any human influence on climate, just that they think its extent and effects are hugely overstated by the climate crisis lobby. I have studied this for about a dozen years and written articles, published, on this topic (very hard to do given the power of the climate catastrophists). My conclusion is that Trump is absolutely correct to be sceptical and he was 100% correct to pull out of Paris, which even true believers like Greta Thunberg and the Guardian in the UK have grudgingly acknowledged was a fraudulent and pointless agreement. It may be very hard (or even impossible for some) climate campaigners, who are generally well-intentioned idealists, to acknowledge, but there really is no crisis.

Posted in: Japan This Week Podcast | Sept. 20, 2024: Marijuana criminalization, whale meat, elders over 100, Shogun and Japanese sushi See in context
The comparison with alcohol and tobacco is entirely misplaced and it is depressing to hear this lazy ill-thought through argument trotted out, in the usual smug mocking tone, once again. There is simply no worthwhile comparison: alcohol and tobacco are indeed dangerous drugs that do untold harm but they are already legal and deeply embedded in our culture. It is too late to criminalise them and to attempt to do so would be disastrous. Prohibition anyone? The answer then is to do what we can to dissuade people from abusing alcohol and tobacco and NOT to add a third dangerous drug to society. Japan is 100% correct in its strict attitude to cannabis and countless misery, mental illness, family breakdown and crime has been avoided through this policy. Don’t change it!

Posted in: Climate change is fueling rise in hot nights See in context
Today’s climate change propaganda, this time from a ‘global analysis’ by our old friends the WHO, an absolutely reliable and unbiased source with all our best interests at heart.
Is there a quote of these fake news articles that has to be met? It feels like it. Have to keep people scared, especially now as a few dissenting voices are starting to be heard (check out the World Climate Declaration - 2000 distinguished scientists and researchers who DO NOT believe in the ‘climate emergency’). Or don’t, just down vote me and perhaps post something abusive in response. Up to you.
I periodically post here in resistance to this brainwashing. Some times the posts are blocked, sometimes they get through and are quickly deleted. Anyway, it feels better than doing nothing, and despite the abuse it provokes, I may reach someone who hasn’t been totally indoctrinated.

Posted in: Japan enacts law to restrict onshore wind farm construction See in context
Excellent news. Wind-farms with their ‘bat chomping, bird killing, eco crucifixes’ as someone once called them are not only a blight on the landscape but of zero (yes zero) environmental value. The concrete needed for their towers, the oil needed to lubricate the blades, and the electricity back up required to compensate for when the wind isn’t blowing (plus the fact that they only last about twenty years) totally negates any supposed benefit (even if you believe there is a climate crisis - there isn’t). They are a massive con and if the Japanese government has found a clever way to stop them without having to say anything heretical about the climate religion then well done them.

Posted in: Kishida pledges at climate summit to phase out coal-fired power See in context
This climate change stuff reads like the purest propaganda now. There are over 1700 of the world’s most distinguished scientists, including Nobel laureates, who have declared that the ‘climate crisis’ is somewhere between hugely exaggerated and non-existent (as part of the World Climate Declaration). Yet, not a single word has been printed on this hugely important story in any mainstream media outlet. Similarly, nothing on the perfectly healthy state of the Great Barrier Reef (supposedly moribund due to climate change) or the not remotely threatened Arctic or Antarctic or the abundance of polar bears, penguins and whales, or the fact that there has been no significant warming for over twenty years now. No wonder people are brainwashed. Is there not a single decent journalist at this or any other Japanese publication willing to challenge this stuff? Apparently not.
