You are being told at this very moment that these things are ‘snowflakes.’
Since Trump became President for the first time in 2017, climate seer Al Gore has not been seen much in public. Ruthless MAGA censorship made him something of a nonperson until his sudden reappearance at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland a few days ago. His public message there was grievously misreported as follows:
Had the truth not been vigorously repressed by White House minions, we would have learned of Gore’s real purpose, to broadcast a warning about the most sinister conspiracy yet perpetrated by the autocratic Trump regime. To understand the real and imminent danger confronting us, we must revisit the history most of us already know in general terms.
Back in 2006, the former Presidential candidate from whom an election really was stolen issued a warning to the world. He had, in fact, put the science together and metaphorically traveled in time to a future in which climate change would imperil human life on earth.
In a video modestly titled An Inconvenient Truth, Gore made a series of dire predictions, including the following:
20-Foot Sea Level Rise: Gore predicted that the melting of major ice sheets in Greenland or West Antarctica could raise global sea levels by approximately 20 feet (6 meters). He warned this would flood major coastal areas like Florida and New York, potentially creating 100 million refugees.
Ice-Free Arctic Summers: In 2009, Gore cited research suggesting a "75% chance" that the entire north polar ice cap could be nearly ice-free during summer months within five to seven years (by 2014-2016).
Increased Hurricane Intensity: Following Hurricane Katrina, Gore suggested that global warming was causing more frequent and intense hurricanes.
Shutting Down Ocean Currents: He warned that fresh meltwater from Greenland could halt the North Atlantic conveyor belt (the currents that keep Northern Europe warm), potentially triggering dramatic local cooling there.
Mass Extinction and Habitation: More recently, Gore has warned that a "sixth great extinction" could eliminate half of all species on Earth and that extreme heat could render parts of the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia uninhabitable. He frequently cites the accumulation of greenhouse gases as trapping as much extra energy daily as 500,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs.
All but the last of these predictions has, as we’re painfully aware, come to pass.
We remember when Times Square became a lake that couldn’t be pumped dry.
As we struggled vainly against rising sea levels, we were still shocked by the violence of storms like Hurricane Sandy, which struck the Atlantic shoreline at York, Pennsylvania, in 2012.
While everything to the left of the Mississippi was baking..
To avoid utter public despair the Government never disclosed the full extent of the casualties from that storm, but we saw enough of the photographic evidence to guess at a truth which had become more than inconvenient.
O the Humanity!
No one realized that the real catastrophe was yet to come. With so much of the northeastern United States underwater, it was comparatively easy for Donald Trump to beat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. The vicious political seesaw since then has tended to obscure the growing calamities of climate change. The Trump administration’s partnership with Russia, exposed during the course of his tragic term in office, led to a brief restoration of sanity in the Biden administration. That under appreciated President’s greatest achievement was the humanitarian rescue of 40 to 50 million otherwise doomed souls from Central and South America, whose homelands had been cooked to a crisp by rising temperatures. None of us liked to see the photos of what remained of that continent’s rainforests, so we looked away instead.
The Amazon Rainforest in 2021
Our deliberate blindness to such apocalyptic catastrophe led, of course, to a second Trump term, which has been marked by exacerbation of fossil-fueled temperature increases and the resulting firestorms that worsened destroyed half of California in 2025, thus disabling the most intelligent voters in the nation from leading the impeachment effort against an administration that seemingly didn’t care about climate issues.
Meanwhile, Gore’s prediction about European cooling was also coming true. The waning of North Sea oil and European sex drives (with an unknown assist from the ocean currents problem) was reducing the effects of global warming there, even as the Middle East was breaking the thermometer.
All that’s left of Mecca in ambient temps of 150 deg F.
Why so many millions of refugees from the Middle East moved north into Western Europe and renewed their war with Israel. The mission there was no longer land but Israeli air conditioning technology, the best in the world by far. Why the second Trump administration intervened. They too had a vital interest they were keeping secret.
Until today that is, when it became possible to discover what has really been going on, a conspiracy that makes Russia Russia look as trivial as Watergate.
Here was today’s lead story at the National Pulse:
Denial of Global Warming here and in his big speech to the World Economic Forum is unquestionably the real reason why the mass media started coughing up all that 25th Amendment chatter. Of all the lies he could ever tell, the claim that climate change is a hoax is the most obviously outrageous one Trump could trumpet to the skies. Why did he tell it so loudly and universally? Because it was the signal to the initiated of what is about to occur.
Things just don’t get any more nefarious than this. A storm is coming, but it’s not a snowstorm. Already today, some local TV news weatherman has probably shown you images like the ones at the top of this post. He is trying to convince you that these intricate structures are ‘snowflakes,’ reminding you of a reality you’ve never seen, because who remembers snow? Here’s what the now extinct weather phenomenon called snow really looks like under a microscope.
Random chunks just like you always knew they were.
Those things up top look like they were designed because they were designed, which does not happen in nature, but only in science. What they are is nanobytes, and the so-called “winter storm of the century” is in reality a jump-starting of the final process Al Gore accurately predicted in 2007. Except that it should have taken a lot longer to get here. Would have taken a lot longer if it weren’t for the dark ministrations of Elon Musk, who is completing the Hitlerian Trump plan of finally ridding the world of undesirables. Meaning everybody in the world but the small population of the world’s billionaires who will ride out the nanostorm in a luxurious artificial cavern (magnificently cooled by Israeli air conditioners) underneath the Mar A Lago golf course.
What will the rest of us experience? A brief period of technologically induced and magnified cold produced by billions of nano-particles that are, in fact, ticking bombs. While millions are hunkered down against the “snowstorm,’ the nanotechnology will do its job. On cue the nanos will explode into a tsunami of intense heat that will bring — what did Gore predict?…
…A “sixth great extinction" eliminating half of all species on Earth and extreme heat rendering parts of the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia uninhabitable. The accumulation of greenhouse gases [will produce] as much extra energy daily as 500,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs.
Will anybody be ready? No. They’ll be buried in rolls of toilet paper, gallons of milk, stacks of ‘C’ and ‘D’ batteries to run electric appliances that will be as cooked as the lifeless bodies arrayed around them.
Except for some of us really really smart MAGA types who are already in flight to that secret Shangri-La in Colorado where John Galt and Dagny Taggart are waiting to lead us in building our own Egoist Utopia in a vast air-conditioned cavern under the foothills of the Rockies powered by the residual energy of America’s buried nuclear waste. It’s perfect.
What?
Not happening? John Galt no more real than snowflakes? Shit.
Guess we’ll see you when we see you. On the other side.
Are we being distracted from the real problem? This is a fairly typical posting from the right-leaning media… FTA: <<Liberal celebrities and entertainers love to get preachy with the public. It’s almost like it’s coded in their DNA. They just can’t resist it. One public relations expert recently said that the public is sick and tired of it. People want to be entertained, not lectured to. He used two specific examples. Bruce Springsteen and the Black Crowes. Springsteen’s concerts have become more like liberal talk radio and the Black Crowes actually had audience members walk out on them for trashing the USA. Doug Eldridge, the founder of Achilles PR, says people have had it with this. “At this point, it’s fatigue,” Eldridge said. “Much like compounding interest, it’s not a linear calculation; it’s accumulation,” he continued. “For the last decade, fans (read: average Americans) have been lectured, lied to, gaslit, and shamed, if they didn’t confo...
How this post got started… No secret that my sleep habits are a lot like That Man’s, the one so many Americans love to hate. I’ve been losing my optimism about 2.0 for a long time now, not because I don’t trust his resolve or motives but because the pessimism is a powerful force I’ve struggled against all my adult life. Which began too soon, as I’ve described elsewhere. Like him, I’m running out of time in the natural human sense of it. More still to do than likely years to do it in. My sleep comes only in chunks, punctuated by dream-induced wake-up calls that send me to the keyboard and the net and the pile of work sitting there in the in-basket. I sympathize with the champions of MAGA who are sounding so tetchy and miserable at the moment. They’re convinced they must keep trying to impress on the low-attention-span voters in their audience just how important it is to understand the depth and depravity and dastardly deeds of the Deep State. But I don’t need to be reminded. What I...
One of these installed in at least five different cities You probably think this is going to be a screed or a lecture. It isn’t. It’s an honest question, asked out of curiosity: WHAT ARE YOU GETTING OUT OF ALL THIS? Almost no one comments here, so I’m not expecting answers. I’m asking you to think about the question for yourselves, with some specificity. To wit: Has the amount of emotion you’ve invested in hating Trump for 10 years made you happier? Is your marriage better, your sex life more satisfying, your circle of friends wider, your career more prosperous, your state of mind more equable and fulfilling? How has your perspective on life changed during the last 10 years? Are you more or less optimistic, diversified in your leisure-time pursuits, content with the personal choices you’ve been making on a day-to-day basis, balanced between the frequently opposing pulls of intellect and emotion? How has your self image (your amour-propre, as the French would say) evolved dur...
Lewis Hamilton wins Seventh World Championship at Formula 1 Grand Prix in Turkey: A stunning drive from Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton in the Turkish Grand Prix gave him his 10th victory of the season – and, more crucially, saw him claim the seventh drivers’ title of his career, to equal the record of Michael Schumacher, as Racing Point’s Sergio Perez and Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel completed the podium after a thrilling race in Istanbul. Hamilton had started the race in sixth, risen to third midway through the first lap and then dropped back to sixth by the end of Lap 1 after an error at Turn 9. But a decision to change his intermediate tyres just once saw Hamilton drive a masterful race to claim victory by over 25 seconds from Perez. The win alone was enough to claim championship #7, but it was even more assured after a disastrous race for Valtteri Bottas - the only man who could have stopped Hamilton winning the title today - who spun six times en route to a P14 finish.
A snip of what’s up at Reels. I wouldn’t normally use this site to promote a single joke at Facebook’s Reels investment in ACHD social network communications. This is a special case in a couple ways. The graphic basis comes from a post at Breitbart by John Nolte, whom we admire for his courage and his encyclopedic knowledge of (yeah, I’ll use the highfalutin’ word…) Cinema . It’s long been a conviction of mine that the most indispensable credential for opinionating is knowing at least one subject extremely well. Nolte’s love and expertise about all things connected to Hollywood and its extraordinary cultural contribution for over a hundred and fifty years now qualifies as just such a credential. He was with Breitbart from the beginning and has survived all the ups and downs there because he never stops doing what he does best, which is write about all the phenomena that have affected and changed the world since this breakthrough project was produced in 1872: Edward Muybridge. Ever hear...
This is cross-posted from a confidential site I use to communicate with an old friend on matters more concerned with writing than this one normally is. Sometimes the two sites intersect in unexpected ways. (e.g., See The French Hurry-Up from Feb ‘26.) This does seem an appropriate follow-up to my most recent IPR post. Up to you what you make of it… Inevitably, another major commitment of my time called Instapunk Returns will occasionally stick its nose into the doings here. Working on both, I’m sometimes forced to ask myself how I got from Point A to Point XXX as I seem to have done yesterday at IPR. Specifically, how did I manage to get from here… Yes, I did ‘Shapes’ at graduation, but we all learned our ABCs too. …to here ? The concluding flourish of my latest IPR screed, Thoughts on Foul Language I put the Little Red Hen Nursery School in the same context with the song abcdefu because we all have an important personal timeline with respect to the alphabet. My...
RAV’s Frank Gaffney discussing existential crisis of AI with statecraft guru Sam Faddish. What could go wrong? This, for one thing: He has his own gaggle of Chicken Little AI experts. And, inevitably, this: Me, when I’m not hiding my true self behind a photograph They’re all worried about AI. Terrified in fact. For different reasons. Bannon has some apocalyptic seer who’s worried about meta-humans replacing Homo sapiens. Gaffney and Faddis are fixated on the latest AI hot topic, “The Singularity,” that magic moment when a supercomputer becomes self aware and decides to exterminate mankind. How did we get here? The usual way. The movies. First, there was HAL: Then, just a quarter century later, after a decades-long detour through a dead-end time paradox called The Terminator , there came the monstrous harpy HAL, a transgendered terminator in a box, like we’d been brought up to believe in, including Gaffney and Faddis: Worried yet? Here’s her resumé and mission statement. C...
That’s it ? No toilet, no breasts, no smoking. What a ripoff!!! I can’t even get any sound file with it. No panting, no dirty words, no dirty old woman vibe at all. What’s a dirty old man to do? Well, it’s not as if she hasn’t already done everything, and I mean everything to death in previous wastes of film. Here’s one you may not remember. Most people who have seen it don’t remember it. That’s how eternal the legacy of Madonna is… Had enough? Me too. File Copy: For posterity’s sake .
It’s not a long list. That’s the point. Hardly anyone gets to be on it. Nobody’s on it who isn’t a superhuman human. Actual gods don’t count. Only two of those, deliberately excluded. Shakespeare and Mozart. End of that list. You want to fight? Tell me why your guy should be on the List. I’ll tell you why he isn’t.
