Hi and thank you Bill and Associates for hitting the nails on the heads.

I wonder if all of their posturing about carbon, included the HOOKERS flown in on private jets, to comfort the top percenters and their effort to make the world a better place for them? It's refreshing to see, not everyone drank the cool aide.

As always great work from Bill & the team

and In the words of our old friend George Carlin,

“the earth is FINE, people are F*<ked”

I was thinking the same on both counts. Great work, well written BPR.

And, for those who may either have missed the late great Mr Carlin or perhaps would appreciate a link back to that great comedy (tragedy?) here it is:

Here's an article that should be sent to all the "world improvers" in Davos this week:

https://dailysceptic.org/2023/01/10/net-zero-will-lead-to-the-end-of-modern-civilisation-says-top-scientist/

It begins like this:

"A damning indictment of the Net Zero political project has been made by one of the world’s leading nuclear physicists. In a recently published science paper, Dr. Wallace Manheimer said it would be the end of modern civilization. Writing about wind and solar power he argued it would be especially tragic “when not only will this new infrastructure fail, but will cost trillions, trash large portions of the environment, and be entirely unnecessary”. The stakes, he added, “are enormous”."

The article gets worse, which is why the Kool-Aid drinkers won't bother to read it.

Since he’s a nuclear physicist, he’ll be witten off before he starts. You know, nuclear, not green and all that.

According to the World Economic Forum website: "Through collaboration between stakeholders with varied perspectives, our projects deliver concrete and sustainable results and make a positive impact at all levels of society." Sounds great, but I can't remember learning about a single "concrete and sustainable result" from this group. Can anyone name a "positive impact at all levels of society" that has come from the WEF? It all seems to me like a bunch of snobs patting themselves on the back on how wonderful they are!

Hi Tim -

"Can anyone name a "positive impact at all levels of society" that has come from the WEF?"

While it does not represent a positive impact on ALL levels, I would submit that the amount of free-thinking people around the world who have awakened to the THREAT that the WEF represents (based on their own hubris and inanity) is most definitely having a positive impact on our shared potential future...

Its the same story with these people, "Its only for me, not for thee" so we the great unwashed must

be told how to live, what to buy, what to drive, where to live and so on. Do you really think these

people will be dining on bugs, or living in small apartments, hell no! They actually live in fantasy land and have no idea how the rest of live, raising our families, having regular jobs, paying taxes, keeping food on the table, paying our bills, basically these people are irrelevant to us.

only query is why BPR recently decided to use a 1940's typeface ?

I wonder if Bill bothers to read the comments. After all the complaints about the new font he's still using it. Whoever decided to change it should be assigned to other duties.

Such an easy fix, one MOP 30,000 dropped on these anti-human aliens, while sucking at their Almas caviar and Moet & Chandon Esprit du Siecle, and deciding on how to get rid of America, and take over the world. So much evil in one place...such an easy fix for humanity.

Davos man will indeed screw us all. From digital tracking of movements, vaccinations and carbon use. Those of us that fail them will not have access to our digital currency or our digitized health systems.

Seems to me, short term, the best investments will be in the poisons they advocate against (petroleum) or the commodities they need to front their twisted agenda (lithium, cobalt, copper, nickel). Possibly uranium since all their other green schemes are failures from jump street.

There is one thing I am sure of as a bulletproof investment thesis for the next decade: carbon credits.

Somewhere out there are brokers for these ephemeral merits - we just need access to them as investors.

If someone on this service or if Tom, Dan Byron et al would like to provide some research on how to profit from this sleight of hand (which will have zero carbon impact on the planet) I am all in.

Us serfs need to know how to get our slice.

The Davos masters will get their way, corporations will shuffle credits back and forth and someone will be trading them like crypto dealers. Davos man will virtue signal his carbon footprint in all our ESG annual reports. And we will be happy.

Was thinking the same. It’s the next “crypto” explosion. A lot of momentum behind carbon credits.

I do suspect though that accessing them, for the unwashed, will require behavioural compliance. Like the social scoring games being tested. You’ll get your carbon credit but you’ll have to earn it (in theory by doing nothing at all, since all actions create carbon).

Now, how does a Czar Kerry earn his offsetting carbon credits I wonder..

Thank you, Bill and Joel, for giving the arrogant Davos crowd the skewering they deserve!

I think now would be a great time for a tactical nuke to land on Davos. Maybe Putin could have a cruise missile go “off course” and get rid of these busybodies once and for all; then the rest of us could go about our lives the way WE se fit.

Oops - “see fit” - typo

I’m kind of stuck on the carbon credit concept. I get it in principle, but I don’t see it existing in the real world. When you create additional carbon through your activities, that carbon has now been created. No matter how many officially sanctioned charities you support or green projects you participate in. Your actions added to the total carbon. And in the case of the czar it’s an almost incomprehensible amount of carbon for any one human being. No wonder they push like hell for the masses to be conservative with their own activities so as not to create a lot of carbon, there’s a lot of slack to be picked up.

They haven't figured out what to do with hookers over ZOOM yet.
