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.
How this post came to be. Saw this promo from the wrecked icon called the New Yorker and was reminded of a post put up here some months ago: Why didn’t I crop out the squatting woman? Truth in advertising. That’s not true, actually. In fact, it’s a lie. I wouldn’t have stumbled on this lovely screenshot if it weren’t for an image I’d used in a Facebook post some days before: You won’t believe this, but while Iwas posting the pic just above, my wife showed me her ROFL pic from the The Babylon Bee… …Which is obviously directly relevant to the rantings of the Glasser person who thinks everything Trump has ever done or will do is a mortal sin against the Manhattan scripture called The New Yorker. Don’t get me wrong. I used to love The New Yorker. Then they surrendered it to the Smart Women, under the subscription-shrinking stewardship of Tina Brown, whose legacy has led gradually to the dollar-a-copy pitch shown in the first graphic above. Today’s mag looks a like the old one, but tha...
We, of course, were as offended as anyone by the President’s evident pleasure in being depicted as Creator of the Universe. His later insistence that it was just a plate of food that happened to have blond hair was disingenuous to say the least. There. That’s out of the way. Putting aside all the bluster about blasphemy by secular observers whose relation to religion is probably a checkbox item, I believe there is a real story lurking in all the feigned outrage. a neon flash of double standards. It’s a media story, probably meaningless to those who aren’t ancient enough to have witnessed Obama’s first year in office. He was kind of everywhere, on every news interview program, every newspaper headline, and every magazine cover. (For the youngsters in the audience, there used to be things called magazines with words and pictures in them. It was a big deal to be featured on their covers.) If you weren’t a big Obama fan — and maybe even if you were — this got to be kind of sickening a...
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.
Haven’t been here for a while. Cooling my heels on maybe half a dozen posts for which I have content materials assembled and the writing just awaiting the typing I don’t feel like doing against the relentless pass rush of AutoCorrect/AI. Stranded, I guess. My principal emotion is akin to what I felt back in 2019, when I took a year off from this site because who can write about dread every day? Like then, my mind is telling me the Dark Age is upon us because we don’t deserve to be saved from the fate our enemies intend for us. They’re brain-damaged sociopaths; a near majority of us are just brain-damaged. Good guys and bad guys both done in by appalling lack of education and undeveloped consciousness skills at foreseeing consequences from a Universe-of-One perspective. I don’t like gas prices at the pump, I don’t like the way Trump talks so mean, and the Iran thing I just don’t get, so I won’t vote this time. Fine. We get what we deserve as a nation. That’s the real American Way. No ot...
This post is a pick-up from an entry at another website of mine from Good Friday, a couple days ago. Originally, I didn’t see it as having an audience here because I don’t want to overdo the archaeology of my own work and past personal experience. But looking back is part of the process of using insights past in new ways that illuminate the present and the challenges of the future. So I rethought the placement and offer it here without apologies. The one day a year devoted entirely to death. Got to wondering, what’s the single deadest thing in our culture right now? Deader even than journalism, the fine arts, literature, music in every genre, and the scientific method. My own answer is history. I’ve read and studied a lot of history, both in school and as an avocation. As an elementary school kid, I saved a Sunday supplement that put color pics of all 35 Presidents on one sheet of newsprint and I memorized the order. Before college I got AP credit in both American and European history....
*I’ve* never even had one of these. I’ll leave this one for one of you guys. Plenty of time to get this before Christmas. Here’s the EBay proffer for what’s called the ‘Pinback Button.’ The cute graphic treatment even includes the pin side. It you actually want to read a physical book that you can hold in your hands, put on your shelf, or give to some friend or family member who’d like to understand what happened to the Great American Experiment you can find a copy quite easily, still in time for Christmas, via the following retailers and others. Just search the ‘Shopping’ tab at Google for “The Boomer Bible” and you’ll find it. (If you’re viewing this on a tablet, you can read this graphic more easily by clicking on the pic and turning your device 90 deg counterclockwise.) I don’t make any money from your purchases obviously, but I feel like I’m doing a public service in showing you what’s out there. For example, here’s something that’s out there I hadn’t actually found till yesterday...

Is that a bullet hole? Or a black hole? It’s complicated. We don’t like complicated. If you can’t say it in a tweet or a 30 second sound bite on teevee, don’t waste our time. I remember some decades ago when it was a great joke one year that USA Today had just won a Pulitzer Prize for “Best Investigative Paragraph.’ These days any argument that requires research, in-depth analysis, and careful piecing together of the people and partisan positions involved is easily dismissible as conspiracy theory, most likely by right wing fascist liars. Why don’t we like complicated? That’s simple enough. We don’t like complicated because we can’t do it anymore. By the time we get to school we’re already too dumb to acquire the kind of critical thinking skills needed to navigate ‘complicated,’ and the philosophy of education now in place has adapted by ceasing any attempt to teach critical thinking skills or provide the base of historical information and learning that used to make investigative repo...
