The Politics of Climate Change: Green New Deal And Other Madness

The original article on the Australian is behind a paywall!

Are you sure this was not meant for the Don't Panic Lighten Up! section of SOTT.net ;-D- I mean after reading this:

Men who eat meat should be banned from having sex, the animal rights group PETA has demanded, claiming that devouring sausages and schnitzel is a symptom of "toxic masculinity" which is killing the planet.

PETA's German operation cited research from the scientific journal PLOS One, which showed that men caused 41 per cent more greenhouse gas emissions than women largely because they consumed more meat.

PETA demanded a "sex ban for all meat-eating men" and called on women to "go on sex strike to save the world".

and lastly, if the above is just not enough:

It said every child not born saved the equivalent of 58.6 tonnes of CO2 a year. "For all the still meat-grilling dads who still want children with a liveable future on a liveable planet, we recommend changing your lifestyle by joining our free Veganstart program," PETA said.

PETA, you don't say.

Er, gotta go, schnitzel's burning on the BBQ...
 

RE: Decomposing HUMAN remains can legally be used as compost from 2027 thanks to new California law

There have been a bunch of articles regarding 'dumping' dead bodies in sewers, not just composting them. For example:

Wisconsin Senate approves bill to dissolve dead bodies, dump them in sewer. Alkaline hydrolysis, or 'water cremation,' which involves liquifying the human body and dumping the remains into the sewage system. The Republican-led Senate passed the legislation without debate on Tuesday over the objection of the Catholic bishops of Wisconsin. May 13, 2021


The State of Washington legalized the liquefaction and disposal of human corpses, effective May 1, 2020. The law is RCW 68.50.110 and the passage refers to “alkaline hydrolysis” which uses lye (caustic soda) mixed with water to dissolve human bodies into a “flesh goo” which is then flushed into the municipal sewage system. To date, 20 US states have legalized this process. Those states, as documented by Nolo.com, include Oregon, California, Illinois, Minnesota, Nevada and many others. (article from Mike Adams/Natural News)

Once the “flesh goo” is flushed into the sewers, it is collected as “biosludge” and distributed on orchards and food farms where it is claimed to be a source of “free fertilizer” for farmers.

You can now legally compost dead bodies in Washington state THU NOV 5, 2020

Another recent article reported on Maine organic farms using sewage sludge (an 'approved' practice) to grow 'organic' products. Then (oh my heavens -- what are the odds?) Toxic PFAS Chemical Found in Maine Farms Fertilized with Sewage Sludge -- farms were shut down, products recalled, and agents SALTED the earth so the farms were permanently out of business. "It was an expensive mistake to spread sludge," one farmer said.

(PFAS = per- or polyfluoroalkyl from e.g., Dupont teflon production)

There is a 1-hour ocumentary called Biosludge on Brighteon (Mike Adams, Natural News, BIOSLUDGED - Documentary (FULL)). I guess adding our demised relatives and a multiplicity of dead people to the 'eco-friendly' fertilizer mixes he discusses won't add to the problems already created by using residential and industrial 'sludge' in food production. Soylent green anyone?

Oddly enough, NPR "news" radio just posted a sound-byte on PFAS in dental floss. I looked it up, and it seems to be factual. Below is one site's findings:

"Mamavation tested 39 dental floss products at an EPA-certified laboratory looking for indications of PFAS “forever chemicals” and got a concerning glimpse of how many very popular products could be contaminating consumers in a way they had not realized.

"It’s important to note that our lab is not looking for PFAS compounds directly, because it’s simply impossible to look for all of them. There are over 12,000 PFAS compounds and assays for less than 100 compounds exist in a really good commercial lab. This is why Mamavation commissions marker testing to look for a chemical called organic fluorine, which all PFAS “forever chemicals” have in common. Here are our main findings from the results on dental floss testing:
  • 33% of dental floss products sent to our EPA-certified laboratory had indications of PFAS “forever chemicals,” while 77% of products did not. In other words, 13 out of 39 products had indications of PFAS.
  • According to our lab, levels of organic fluorine, a marker for PFAS, were found between 11 parts per million (ppm) to 248,900 parts per million (ppm).
  • Tooth floss products have the highest levels of organic fluorine we have ever seen in any consumer studyOral-B Glide had the highest amount at 248,900 parts per million (ppm).
  • 4 tooth floss products had over 70,000 ppm organic fluorine: Oral B Glide Pro-Health Deep Clean Floss; Up & Up (Target Brand) Smooth Slide Floss Mint; Colgate Total Mint Waxed Dental Floss; & Solimo (Amazon Brand) Extra Comfort Mint Dental Floss.
  • No tooth floss marketed to children that we tested had any indications of PFAS “forever chemicals.” They are all made of single-use plastics, which is not an environmentally acceptable solution."
US toilet paper apparently has PFAS and other nasty things in it too.

Some effects of PFAS include reduced immunity, growth and learning disruption, metabolic diseases like obesity/diabetes, cardiovascular disease, reduced fertility, endocrine disruption, thyroid function disruption, and more.
 

Her mother is indignated. Heather du Plessis-Allan should be ashamed of how she bullied my daughter.... She mentioned at the end:
Our young people are genuinely terrified about the world they are inheriting. That is what matters.
Of course, how can they not be terrified if they are constantly told that their very existence threatens the life of the planet?

It becomes easy for them to dictate to others how they should live, just the others... They are just fine.
 
Carbon taxes ahoy for Canada? Well there's a new conservative politician by the name of Pierre Poilievre, who assumed office last month as leader of the opposition and the conservative party. The two forces and their logic are displayed out in the open in this video:

It is a mix of dystopia, war, subverted 'art', perhaps even "climate change", gender-bender BS.



Balenciaga Dystopia Fashion Show • Paris


No, these are not pictures from Florida after Hurricane Ian, nor the new hero of a new climate apocalyptic "Mad Max" film. It's the new collection from the hype label Balenciaga - presented by Kanye West [in Paris I believe]

FASHION

Kanye West makes his debut at Balenciaga.

Designer Demna Gvasalia's Balenciaga show in Paris not only caught the attention of the fashion industry, but also the minds of the art world.

In the fashion world, the talk focused on musician Kanye West, who stormed the catwalk in a safety jacket to open the Spring/Summer 2023 show. Through a backdrop of mud and tar reminiscent of a coal mine or mass grave, more models walked with bags reminiscent of cuddly toys taken on the run. This was accompanied by sombre techno tones, with echoes of funeral marches.

Even though Balenciaga's creative director Gvasalia did not mention the war in Ukraine in his remarks on the fashion show, the association was obvious after his fashion show last season. Back then, in early March, just two weeks after Russia invaded Ukraine, models walked the Balenciaga catwalk in a snowstorm and Gvasalia also addressed his own experiences of war and displacement.


No to escapism


Gvasalia wants the muddy backdrop and show to be a metaphor for "digging for truth and groundedness". In addition to apocalyptic associations, the show was again about dress codes and identity. "I hate pigeonholes and labels," Gvasalia said in the explanations.

For example, he brought the image of men with baby bags (with dolls inside) to the catwalk. Silhouettes alternated between fiercely fitted hoodies and extremely short trousers, floor-length coats and pleated dresses with capes, looks somewhere between Matrix and high priestesses of a dark cult. Models trudged through the mud in clunky clogs, point-toe pumps and platform boots. Accessories such as sinuous, floor-length scarves and wide girdles stood out.

Some in the fashion world, such as Vogue editors, thanked Gvasalia in their reviews for continuing to address the heavy but timely topic, while other fashion houses are happily indulging in escapism this season. They spread optimism with bright, bright colours, while Balenciaga's palette was sombre - with black, red and earthy colours.


"Sell perfume and handbags, not war."


The art world was already taking a more critical view of the show. Their attention was drawn to Balenciaga by the fact that the maker of the set was Santiago Sierra - a fact to which the fashion industry paid comparatively little attention. The artist addresses social injustice and exploitation in his work, so at first glance it is surprising that he cooperates with a French luxury fashion house like Balenciaga.

"Sell perfume and handbags, not war. That's not much consolation for the Ukrainians:inside, nor for the citizens:inside Russia. This smells of exploitation," writes artist Maggie Mcgrath in a comment under an Instagram post by curator Klaus Biesenbach. This sparked a lively debate about the extent to which a luxury fashion house can make radical statements or address such serious issues as war.

"So he's selling $5,000 clothes because he's touched by Ukraine?" asks artist Thaddeus Strode. "They'll even sell you our own demise as long as it's marketed as a luxury," another Instagram user replies. "A dystopian landscape with comfortable seats," artist Stephen Ormandy titles Balenciaga's show.


Commerce, luxury and art

Indeed, Gvasalia likes to play with the categories of commerce and luxury. Notoriously famous is his bag for the label Vetements, which took up the design of the far cheaper Ikea shopping bag. Most recently, a worn-out sneaker at luxury prices caused controversy. This time, too, the fashion designer stays true to his theme and asks to what extent clothes smeared with mud can be luxury.

And here, somewhere between "industry, consumption, money" and the repetitive trends of fashion, lies a contradiction, as curator Maylin Pérez notes in the debate on Instagram. This makes the phenomenon of Balenciaga under Gvasalia exciting not only for the art world. In her video installation 'Mission Accomplished: Belanciege', artist Hito Steyerl, together with Miloš Trakilović and Giorgi Gago Gagoshidze, used the example of Balenciaga to examine the political and social upheavals of the past 30 years, starting with the fall of the Berlin Wall. After all, fashion and politics revolve around identities in cycles.

At second glance, the cooperation between Gvasalia and Sierra does not seem so surprising after all: both deal with the phenomena of capitalism, like to go to extremes and provoke. To draw attention to precarious working conditions, Sierra did just that, hiring workers to toil in a museum. Balenciaga presented its collection on the New York Stock Exchange, bringing the hypes in fashion to the stock market.

There are other parallels too: Sierra described his work as an artist in museums as that of "an interior designer or an organiser of exclusive events for the cultural elite." Fashion shows could be seen in a similar way.
 
It is only seemingly a gay joke...
(i thought this was funny)

Today the teacher asks in class: "Children, what do your fathers do for a living ?"

The children all shout wildly one after the other:
"Fireman! Pizzaiolo! Carpenter! Butcher!"

Only little Jochen sits very still looks dejectedly at the ground and silent.
Then the teacher asks: "Jochen, what is your father's your father's profession?"

Jochen answers:
"My father dances naked at a pole, in a gay club.
When the men pay well, my father takes them to a motel and sleeps with them."


The teacher is shocked and sends the other children to break.

She asks Jochen if this is really true, in which Jochen replies:
"Nonsense, he's a politician, a member of the of parliament for the Greens, but that was too embarrassing for me to tell.
