Republic of Ireland
Mind dump
“Migrants” to Netherlands are
living on cruise ships. Catered. “Free food” and gloating on CCP owned TikTok.
The invasion continues while many European taxpayers already are
unemployed or soon will be.
Meanwhile, here in Ireland,
people are prevented from using clean-burning peat — plentiful in Ireland — while they import forest wood from
Lithuania. There was
even scandal of peat exported to mainland Europe and re-imported to Ireland.
And the Irish.
Of course, they know the famine their ancestors endured. Yet nearly
every Irishman or woman I speak with says there is no worry in Ireland. Words
like, “No worries boy. We’ve got fewer than 7 million souls on the entire
island yet we can feed 45 million.”
As someone who studies information war…I smell a massive pile of
bullshit. The magic of statistics. Especially so of the “90% of the statistics
made up on the spot” and fed to a people who are culturally fearful of famine.
Statistics as security blanket.
Example — when calculating food imports/exports, a country can pick any
metric that suits it. Tonnage. Value. Total calories. And not take into account
vital imports. Say, a factitious US State that exports 10x more calories than
it needs to feed the entire State, but mostly those exports are corn. And so
the States import a massive percentage of the food they actually eat.
And there is more important magic. When making calculations for national
security purposes, all inputs such as fuel and fertilizer must be calculated.
Even down to the tractor parts. All inputs are part of the ultimate
calculation. If the diesel and other fuels are cut — famine will not be delayed
in catching up.
Ireland was surrounded by fish in the sea during the great famine, yet
starved.
Let’s talk about merely staying warm. If you drive across Germany,
which I recently did, you will witness massive amounts of green forests being
felled and destroyed for firewood. Just to stay warm. Most Europeans and Americans today have no idea how much wood is
required to keep a home warm during winter. Most fireplaces these days are not
really for keeping the home warm, but for making cozy moments.
Most do not even realize you cannot just cut down a tree and toss it in
the fireplace. Green wood requires “seasoning.” Like two years resting in the
elements. Season after season. Swaths of forest being felled today — forget it.
Germany and other countries appear to be deforesting Europe faster than the
rainforests ever were.
The Greens are raping European ecosystems for wood that will hardly burn
and when it does so, with great pollution. Green wood is dirty firewood.
A friend and Locals reader in Michigan sent the attached photo and
message:
“Your post on
firewood is interesting to me as that is the only way I heat my house (and hot
water) in winter. I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where we see
temperatures of -20 every winter (sometimes colder) but hovering around zero
most days. I heat a house that is about 2000 sq feet and a garage/shop that is
about the same. The garage is kept at about 55 all winter and the house is kept
at about 72 all winter. I typically burn through 10 pulp cord every winter but
during a cold winter I can go through 15 pulp cord. For reference 10 pulp cord
is a log truck load of 8 foot logs. I then cut and split the wood. The wood I
burn is well seasoned hardwood. Green wood does not give the BTU’s of seasoned
wood. Softwood is not great to burn for firewood either as it burns too fast. I
burn in a wood boiler which then pumps water through pex to sub floor heating.
Wood boilers are MUCH more efficient than a revitalized fireplace. Trying to
heat with fireplaces is extremely inefficient and means much more wood will be
consumed. Germany is going to consume massive amounts of wood and much of the
BTU’s of the wood will be wasted. A fireplace is very a inefficient way to
heat. Wood burning stove or wood boiler are much more efficient at using the
BTU’s of the wood. Burning green wood is wasteful.”
You’ve probably wondered why Jews and others willingly boarded trains
and were shipped off to concentration camps and were evaporated through
chimneys without a fight.
And there is the saying, “Never again.”
It’s a bullshit
saying.
This IS AGAIN.
Most of Europe and Israel lined up for the death jabs. And nobody is
overthrowing their governments now BEFORE famine strikes.
—in closing, Thank you for your support. Because I need it, and this is
massively important:
