       I will
       gradually, as time permits, copy pertinent articles posted
       there, update them, and post them here for your convenience.
       I have no intention of closing the Renewable Revolution Forum
  HTML https://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/index.php,
       so any
       links you have to posts, articles and graphics there are valid
       for the time being. Nevertheless, I advise you to &#129417; copy
       and save any posts, articles and graphics that you wish to
       preserve for posting somewhere else on the internet. I am 75

       I have changed the title and the front page background graphic
       for two reasons:
       1. My purpose, nearly a decade ago, of convincing most reality
       based people everywhere that human civilization, in order to
       stop and reverse (i.e getting back to 350 PPM of atmospheric
       Carbon Dioxide is sine qua non) the multiple extinctions causing
       biosphere degradation (i.e. the Sixth Mass Extinction Event now
       upon us), must VERY rapidly transition away from Hydrocarbon
       Energy Sources to Renewable Energy Sources, has been largely
       achieved. I have been one small voice among many that have made
       it clear  that clean energy must be made available to everyone,
       not just the wealthy, if we are to survive Catastrophic Climate
       Change.
       2. Celebrated social theorist and geographer David Harvey asked,
       "Is there a way to capture what (to the detriment of human
       civilization) is going on now"?
       My answer: YES.
       It's the SOCIAL DARWINISM, stupid!
       No matter how much progress we make in cleaning up the
       biosphere, as long as the egocentric, morally bankrupt, empathy
       deficit disordered, Social Darwinist Ideology continues to be
       embraced by TPTB, we do not have a snowball's chance in Hell of
       surviving our Existential Crisis.
       Social Darwinists believe that ethics based principles are
       'limitations pretending to be virtues'. To them, ethics are
       'feel good illusions' that humans invented to pretend our
       species has empathy. To Social Darwinists, empathy is
       irrefutable evidence of inexcusable weakness. To them, all who
       are guided by ethics are deluded fools that should be eliminated
       from the human 'apex predator' gene pool for the "good" of our
       species.
       The ideology of the Social Darwinist is indistinguishable from
       the despicable ideology of NAZI Germany, clearly exemplified in
       their brutally enforced morally bankrupt concentration camp law:
       “Eat your own bread, and if you can, that of your neighbor.”
       Social Darwinism is actually based, not on "survival of the
       fittest", but on fear of tomorrow, a morally bankrupt excuse for
       rejecting altruism and empathy and embracing a selfish greed
       dominated hoarding modus vivendi.

       > "One who fears tomorrow does not offer his bread to others.
       But one who is willing to divide his food with a stranger has
       already shown himself capable of fellowship and faith, the two
       things from which hope is born." -- Primo Levi, author of
       Survival in Auschwitz
       --- End Quote ---
       Social Darwinism is the world view that spawned the profit over
       people and planet neoliberal ideology. Neoliberal intellectuals
       like Friedrich von Hayek, Ludwig von Mises and Milton Friedman
       were all Social Darwinists long before they renamed
       laissez-faire liberalism (that had been thoroughly discredited
       by the Great Depression) with the catchy title of
       "Neoliberalism".
       
       The celebrated social theorist and geographer David Harvey
       explains that neoliberal ideology serves the following
       principle:
       "There shall be no serious challenge to the absolute power of
       money to rule absolutely. And that power is to be exercised with
       one objective: Those possessed of money shall not only be
       privileged to accumulate wealth endlessly at will, but they
       shall have the right to inherit the earth, taking either direct
       or indirect dominion, not only of the land and all the resources
       and productive capacities that reside therein, but also assume
       absolute command, directly or indirectly, over the labor and
       creative capacities of all those others it needs. The rest of
       humanity shall be deemed disposable."
       "In human society, the amount of inequity is directly
       proportional to the amount of iniquity." -- A. G. Gelbert
       Sober Thinking requires that we all recognize the fact that a
       society that is founded on altruism, not the "invisible hand" of
       greed, is not optional if we wish to avoid exctinction.
       Capitalism's "invisible hand" modus operandi is rooted in the
       ideology of Social Darwinism.

       of men, will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest
       good of everyone.” — John Maynard Keynes

       The main purpose of the Sober Thinking Forum is to convince you,
       regardless of your religious beliefs or lack of them, to soberly
       think about these two quotes, embrace altruism, reject greed,
       and convince as many people as you can that altruism is not
       optional for human society:
       --- Quote ---
       > "Look at our world, our country, our interactions with each
       other……… this is not the mark of a healthy society, and if these
       are the self-appointed leaders of this flaming meteor…..it’s
       time to move on to new ideas and new people. Let’s relegate
       these fools to history. They perpetuate a narrative that it is
       right to behave in a strictly selfish, exploitative manner
       towards all. We simply can’t survive it any longer. Things will
       change because they have to." -- Kathleen Wallace
       --- End Quote ---
       "Technical knowledge of Carrying Capacity will not save us; Only
       a Massive Increase in Caring Capacity will." -- A. G. Gelbert

       Robber Barons, Oil, and Power from 1860 - Today: Daniel Sheehan
       2019 Class #5
   DIR By: AGelbert
       Date: March 13, 2022, 7:14 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Agelbert NOTE: If you accurately digest the irrefutable American
       History taught in this video (that, quite deliberately, is NOT
       taught in High School History courses) which exposes the
       Hamiltonian Elitist CORRUPTION of U.S. Government policies, you
       will have a clear understanding of why  Capitalist Profit Over
       People and Planet is the default U.S. government (foreign AND
       domestic) Bankster policy. At the founding of the USA, the
       Hamiltonians
  HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-130418193910.gif<br
       />(also known as the Federalists i.e. Banksters/Big
       Oil/Monopolies/Robber Barons/etc.) were the ones who made sure
       even the landed white men could NOT vote for POTUS (landed white
       men could vote for a member of the Electoral College
       &#128181;&#127913;
  HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/1/3-120818184306-16302042.png<br
       />of elitists, who would then select the POTUS) or Senators.
       The Madisonians (also known as the Intuitionists,
       Anti-Federalsts, Democratic Republicans or Jeffersonians),
       against the will of the Hamiltonians, got the Bill of Rights
       into the Constitution. The Hamiltonians were the ones who wanted
       to kill off all the Native Americans ("Manifest Destiny"
       murderous arrogance), take their land and "develop" it for the
       "invisible hand" of &#128520; Capitalism.
       The Intuitionists vociferously disagreed. The Intuitionists had
       great ideas but they weren't saints. They became the bulk of the
       Democratic Republicans from the Southern States that ignored the
       "inalienable human rights" they championed when it came to
       African Americans. &#128544;
       The Hamiltonians didn't like slavery simply because, being
       utilitarian empathy deficit disordered bean counting Capitalists
       to the core, they much preferred employing somebody for peanuts
       and not having to house or feed them, while, OF COURSE, making
       sure the Laws of the Land gave businesses no liability for
       damages suffered by the workers or for pollution damage to the
       environment (See: "Corporate Limited Liability" Hamiltonian
       SCAM). So, the Hamiltonians made lots of noises about the
       "evils" of slavery and pushed for "NO SLAVERY" conditions for
       new states after all the "savages" had been cleared for
       Capitalism.
       As you can surmise, slavery was a point of contention between
       the Federalists/Hamiltonians and Intuitionists/Democratic
       Republicans &#128181; business models
  HTML http://www.smilies.4-user.de/include/Spiele/smilie_game_017.gif,<br
       />NOT because either of the two groups actually cared about the
       ethical treatment of African Americans!
       The slavery issue was joined at the business model hip with the
       Southern States. The Federalists sought to fight that by, in
       addition to the frequent publishing of the "Slavery is Evil but
       killing Native Americans is God's Work" duplicitous rhetoric,
       weakening the power of Southern States with new "non-slavery"
       States AND increasing Corporate Banking power through Legal
       Tender Laws and Fractional Reserve Banking, all backed by the
       power of the increasingly powerful Federal Government.
       The Southern States were not amused.
       So, the tension between the two "business models" blew up with
       the Civil War. Slavery, only in the "business model" context,
       not in the "abuse of humans" context, was the cause of the Civil
       War, as evidenced by the fact that the Emancipation Proclamation
       came AFTER the Civil War had started.
       Lincoln, before the Civil War, was in no hurry to end slavery,
       even though he was against it. The Emancipation Proclamation was
       a successful tactic to get African Americans in the South to NOT
       fight for the Confederate cause or help them in any way. It
       worked to help defeat the Confederates. &#128077;
       
       The "States' Rights" issue is a giant bag of rhetorical worms
       (negative AND positive) that I won't go into, but keep in mind
       that the Intuitionists championed States' Rights in the
       Constitution (Powers not enumerated belong to the people), which
       was a good thing. &#128077; The fact that the Democratic
       Republicans used that to defend slavery is a misapplication of a
       great legal human rights principle. It should not keep us, in
       the present, from using this tenet to fight &#9760;&#65039;
       oligarchic, elitist Bankster power the Hamiltonians have ALWAYS
       been all about. If they are not removed from power VERY, VERY
       SOON, we are all dead.

       Biden Creates White House Office Of Environmental Justice

       [center]Biden Creates White House Office Of
       [glow=teal,2,300]Environmental Justice[/glow][/center]
       President Biden on Friday signed an executive order creating a
       new Office of Environmental Justice (OEJ) within the White House
       Council on Environmental Quality. The EO directs federal
       agencies to work closer and earlier with communities affected by
       pipelines, highways, chemical plants, and waste sites to address
       centuries of racist policies that have imposed disproportionate
       pollution upon Black, Indigenous, and other people of color.
       "Environmental justice will be the mission of the entire
       government woven directly into how we work with state, local,
       tribal and territorial governments,” Biden said.
  HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-050422180949.png<br
       />The creation of the White House OEJ marks a major victory for
       environmental justice advocates. “Today’s executive order is the
       result of nearly two decades of organizing by the environmental
       justice movement,” Ozawa Bineshi Albert, co-ED of the Climate
       Justice Alliance, a national nonprofit representing 89 rural and
       urban community-based EJ groups and supporting networks, said in
       a statement. “This win belongs to our communities who have been
       on the frontlines of the climate crisis, creating solutions,
       building local power, and engaging lawmakers for decades.”

       Letters from an American
       April 24, 2023 HEATHER COX RICHARDSON
       APR 25, 2023
       SNIPPET:
       Grabbing headlines today at home was the unexpected news that
       [glow=red,2,300]&#128013; Tucker Carlson[/glow] is out
  HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-050422155724.png<br
       />
  HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-050422144605.png<br
       />at the Fox News Channel. The decision was so quick he was not
       permitted a final show
  HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-080822134118-1708498.gif,<br
       />making Friday’s goodbye his last. There is not yet a clear
       story
       about what drove him out, but there are several things that
       likely contributed.
       First is lawsuits: &#128509; the Fox Corporation’s recent $787.5
       million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems; the looming
       lawsuit against the Fox Corporation by another voting systems
       company, Smartmatic; and another lawsuit from former Carlson
       producer Abby Grossberg accusing Carlson and other executives of
       creating “a work environment that subjugates women based on vile
       sexist stereotypes.” That lawsuit will likely bring up the many
       appallingly sexist things Carlson has said over the years,
       including a discussion with a radio shock jock in which he
       seemed to defend statutory
  HTML https://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/styles/renewablerevolution/files/5482_label%20for%20the%20word%20rape.png<br
       />and child marriage.
       There is the potential for yet another lawsuit, this one from
       Ray Epps, a Trump supporter who was at the January 6, 2021,
       attack on the U.S. Capitol and around whom Carlson built a
       conspiracy theory that led to death threats and forced him and
       his wife into hiding. On Sunday, Epps told 60 Minutes that
       Carlson was “going to any means possible to destroy my life.”
       “He’s obsessed with me,” Epps said.
       &#127913; Insurers on the hook for &#128176; large settlements
       are likely to demand that

       [/glow]
  HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-080422121611.png,<br
       />especially with Trump running for office again and likely back
       in the media lineup.
       Second is Carlson’s attacks on his colleagues and private
       dismissal of Fox News Channel programming, revealed in the
       discovery process of the Dominion lawsuit, which made it quite
       clear the channel was lying to its audience.
       There is also the possibility
  HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-050422180949.png<br
       />that FNC head Rupert Murdoch recognizes that the right wing
       has
       moved so far right that it is better to cut the extremists loose
       than to try to keep them from moving toward other far-right
       platforms, especially as the FNC is trying to renegotiate its
       cable fees. In a sign that the party might be splitting
       elsewhere, as well, Georgia governor
  HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-040622202719-14071062.gif<br
       />[glow=red,2,300]Brian Kemp[/glow] announced today that he will
       not attend the Georgia Republican convention this summer,
       choosing instead to rally supporters in his own new
       organization.
       [glow=blue,2,300]Bad news[/glow] is likely to continue to mount
  HTML http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-301014181553.gif<br
       /> for the [glow=maroon,2,300]far right[/glow].
  HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-050422180949.png
       Today, Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis said that she
       would announce charging decisions in the investigation of the
       attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia
       sometime during the fourth term of the state Superior Court,
       which begins July 11 and ends September 1. Tipping her hand that
       there will be at least some charges, she said she was announcing
       the timeline to allow the Sheriff’s Office and local, state, and
       federal law enforcement agencies to prepare. “Open-source
       intelligence has indicated the announcement of decisions in this
       case may provoke significant public reaction,” Willis wrote.
       Tomorrow, the civil
  HTML https://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/styles/renewablerevolution/files/5482_label%20for%20the%20word%20rape.png<br
       />trial of former president
  HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-120422122619-6812456.gif<br
       />[glow=maroon,2,300]Trump[/glow] will begin, in which writer E.
       Jean Carroll alleges that Trump

       />her sometime between fall 1995 and spring 1996. No matter what
       happens at the trial’s conclusion, the information that will
       come out will almost certainly not make Trump look good to the
       suburban women he needs to win an election.
       In contrast to the circus of the
  HTML https://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/styles/renewablerevolution/files/5482_label%20for%20the%20word%20rape.png<br
       />trial tomorrow, President Joe Biden is apparently set to
       announce his reelection campaign, exactly four years after he
       announced in 2019, when he warned that the soul of the nation
       was at stake in the upcoming presidential election.
