• Europe is chopping down entire forests on the other side of the world, grinding the wood into pellets and shipping them across the Atlantic to burn in dirty, fine particulate-emitting power plants. Unsurprisingly, the total emissions — including cancer-causing fine dust — are higher than burning coal, according to studies from the EU’s own scientific advisors.

    Yet countries like the UK, Denmark and the Netherlands continue doing it anyway, because it technically counts as zero CO₂ emissions. That is nothing short of accounting fraud.This appalling tree-burning, just like the placement of unsustainable, unprofitable and polluting wind turbines, is a direct attack on nature and public health.

    Wood burning is making people sickWood pellets often emit more CO₂ per unit of energy produced than coal (sometimes 10-50% more, depending on the study and transport). This is because wood has a much lower energy density, plus the extra emissions from harvesting, processing, drying, pelletizing and transatlantic shipping.Chopping down forests is insaneForests need decades to centuries to re-absorb the released CO₂.

    In the critical period up to 2050 (the climate targets), this leads to net additional warming, according to many independent studies (including from Yale, the Cary Institute, and hundreds of scientists who have warned the EU).Air pollution and fine particulate matter (PM2.5)Burning wood pellets produces high levels of fine dust, NOx and other harmful substances.

    Studies show that biomass plants cause higher local air pollution than modern coal plants equipped with scrubbers (which capture sulphur and particles more effectively).One of the biggest green scamsReports indicate that fine particulate emissions (including carcinogenic components) are higher than from coal, mainly because biomass produces more ash and organic particles.

    This has been documented in analyses of plants such as Drax (UK) and in various EU member states.Hundreds of scientists have sent protest letters to the EU urging them to reduce reliance on polluting biomass and remove it from the renewable energy category.Net Zero is a total lie. Follow the money.

    The EU’s own Joint Research Centre (JRC) and other advisory bodies have published reports criticising the claimed carbon neutrality of biomass, but nothing changes. Studies (including in GCB Bioenergy, 2025) are ignored. Under Ursula von der Leyen, the EU cold-bloodedly continues pushing a policy that is destructive for all of Europe — against the will of the majority of European citizens.

    Wind turbines are unprofitable, insanely expensive, ruin our living environment, disrupt food chains and damage our economy#NEXIT40 million litres of diesel for wind farm maintenance at Thornton BankWhile we are being forced to drive expensive electric cars, the green offshore wind farmers have already burned 40 million litres of diesel.

    The maintenance of the 399 wind turbines at Thornton Bank and nearby parks (Norther, Northwind, C-Power) has consumed an estimated 6.6 million litres of diesel per year since 2009, rising to around 40 million litres in total. This fuel was used by Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs) that transport maintenance crews daily to the turbines in the North Sea.

    Due to the insane policies of figures like Timmermans, Klaver, Bontenbal, Jetten and others who claim to be “saving the climate”, farmers, fishermen, SMEs, the economy and nature (including marine life) are being destroyed. Everything is becoming more expensive due to ever-higher taxes. This must stop — the entire country is being dragged into the abyss by anti-democratic mismanagement.Dirty wind turbinesThe staggering amount of energy and raw materials required to build just one wind turbine.

    Yet the mainly left politicians and other creeps keep pretending these expensive, inefficient, bird- and bat-killing monsters are “green” and “environmentally friendly”.

  • The Woman Who Said “No” and Saved a Generation

    ​In 1960, a 46-year-old pharmacologist named Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey started her first day at the FDA. Within five weeks, she was handed an application that seemed like a "formality."

    ​The drug was Kevadon (Thalidomide). It was already a massive success in Europe, marketed as a "wonder drug" for pregnant women suffering from morning sickness. Most expected her to sign off immediately.

    ​But Frances felt something wasn't right.
    ​She noticed the clinical data was vague. There was almost no evidence showing how the drug affected a developing fetus. While the pharmaceutical company, Richardson-Merrell, pressured her to rush the approval, she stood her ground.

    ​The Pressure Was Suffocating

    ​For 19 months, the company relentlessly hounded her. They:

    ​Visited her office over 50 times.

    ​Called her "unreasonable" and "stubborn."

    ​Complained to her supervisors, trying to go over her head.

    ​Had doctors write letters demanding she release the drug.

    ​Can you imagine the weight on her shoulders? A new employee standing up to a corporate giant and an entire industry. But her mantra was simple: "Show me the data."

    ​A Devastating Discovery

    ​By November 1961, the world’s worst fears came true. In Germany and Australia, babies were being born with Phocomelia—severe limb malformations. Some were born with flipper-like hands attached to their shoulders; others had no limbs at all.

    ​Thousands of babies were born with these deformities, and thousands more were stillborn. Thalidomide was the cause.

    ​The Silent Hero

    ​Because Dr. Kelsey refused to be bullied, the damage in the United States was largely contained. She didn't just do her job; she protected the future.

    ​On August 7, 1962, President John F. Kennedy awarded her the President’s Award for Distinguished Federal Civilian Service. She was only the second woman to ever receive it.

    ​We often talk about "changing the world." Dr. Kelsey changed it with one word: No.
    ​Sometimes, being "stubborn" is the most heroic thing you can be.

    ​What do you think of Dr. Kelsey's story? Does it inspire you to stand firm in your convictions, even when the world is pushing back?

  • The Babylonian Map of the World with Irving Finkel | Curator’s Corner S9 Ep5

    The Babylonian map of the world is the oldest map of the world, in the world. Written and inscribed on clay in Mesopotamia around 2,900-years-ago, it is, like so many cuneiform tablets, incomplete. However, Irving Finkel and a particularly gifted student of his - Edith Horsley - managed to locate a missing piece of the map, slot it back into the cuneiform tablet, and from there set us all on journey through the somewhat mythical landscape of Mesopotamia to find the final resting place of the ark. And yes we mean that ark, as in Noah's ark. Although in the earlier Mesopotamian version of the flood story, the ark is built by Ziusudra.

  • A Tour of Babylon in 570 BC — Documentary History

    #Babylon #AncientBabylon #570BC

    In 570 BC, the largest and most powerful city on Earth sits on the banks of the Euphrates River in modern-day Iraq.

    Its walls are wide enough for two chariots to race side by side along the top. Its gate is covered in bright blue glazed bricks and golden dragons that no other civilization on Earth can replicate. Its tower rises ninety meters into the sky the structure that will inspire the legend of the Tower of Babel. And every single brick in this city carries the stamped name of the king who built it.

    This is Babylon. Not the myth. Not the metaphor. The real, functioning city at the absolute peak of its power.
