@ElectrekCo

THE EV SCAM: @ElectrekCo just publisheed a delightful promotional article for China:

"Surprise! Electric cars are already making California healthier" electrek.co/2023/02/10/sur…

Response thread 1/n...

Sorry, folks, but where do batteries come from?

The core components (like Cobalt) are mined by millions of slaves, from the Uighurs to Congolese children (see amazon.com/Cobalt-Red-Blo…)...

2/n

Besides the human carnage, the environmental damage is shocking. Runoff from mining operations have polluted massive swaths of land.

Oh: forgot to mention: there are not enough rare Earth materials on this planet to accommodate the electric dreams of the Green WEF Left...

How many elderly & infirm people will California's green energy policies kill this month?

Those dependent on AC, Dialysis Machines, I.V.'s... are at risk.

Failure to plan for realistic electricity demand is a natural outcome of Democrats' plans to address climate change...

🧵

U.S. share of CO2 emissions globally is already dropping rapidly due to increased use of clean natural gas.

Meanwhile, China is reportedly building 500+ _new_ _coal_ plants per year.

Democrats never seem to mention China in their "Green New Deal" marketing material...

Further, the stated replacements for fossil fuels are "renewable energy" sources, like wind, solar and tidal.

Those sources, however, are unpredictable. The sun doesn't always shine and the wind doesn't always blow.

It's like playing Russian Roulette with electricity...

@mtaibbi

Interesting take from @mtaibbi, but one with which I disagree.

"To Stop War, America Needs a Third Party - The American political system has been captured by the military, and only an independent political power can prevent the next Afghanistan"

In the run-up to the 2016 election, it appears that the Obama administration cabal running the IC and LE communities (Brennan, Comey, et. al.) weaponized their surveillance tools to spy on and take out candidates they deemed too dangerous... >

Trump transformed an _existing_ party apparatus (the GOP) leveraging much of its organization, which operates from the federal to the county level. This organization makes any third-party effort phenomenally difficult to replicate at scale.

Case in point, Mr. Bloomberg... >

@ariabendix

Questions for @ariabendix about her article pillorying Sweden for its Covid response.

1) Where is your data? I see lots of anecdotes, but not many real numbers or charts.

I've broken down the datasets from ecdc.europa.eu/en/publication… and have some observations.

A THREAD >>>

Let's take a look at the last two weeks for instance.

Sweden has, by far -- BY FAR -- the lowest fatality rate per million residents.

Plus...

Let's take a longer view, since March, which is as far back the ECDC dataset goes.

Gee, the light blue line is Sweden, and it appears to have one of the lowest overall fatality rates...

Update: China just hacked a huge chunk of U.S. organizations, causing untold billions in damages and further compromising national security.

Using vulnerabilities in Outlook Webmail, the PRC-aligned APT group discovered at least 4 zero-days exploits. How many firms?

A THREAD

Researcher Brian Krebs reports the number of hacked orgs is "at least 30,000" in the U.S. alone, but hints that the real number is much larger.

I've heard numbers like 100,000 to 500,000 mentioned.

It is a very, very, very damaging compromise.

krebsonsecurity.com/2021/03/at-lea…

In simple terms, an attacker who simply knows the address of an Outlook Webmail server can:

a) Download details of email users
b) Download all of any user's emails
c) Install a shell, which allows execution of any command
d) Install agents to persist the implants
e) Escalate
