New Book Exposes Green Schemes And Junk Science
Written by Peter Foster
The world is now threatened with a Green Depression. Or it will be if governments — including Canada’s — go ahead with variants of a “Green New Deal” in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis.
One of the great leftist perversions of history is the claim that, in the 1930s, FDR’s New Deal “saved capitalism from itself.”
In fact, it was the New Deal — and the uncertainty created by its myriad interventions and its demonization of capitalism and the rich — that made the Great Depression “great.”
There was little of an additional destructive green substance in Canada’s recent throne speech, but the threat still lurks behind Orwellian slogans about “Building Back Better” and “Resilient Recovery.”
And the follow-up announcement about the proposed new Clean Fuel Standard signals more chaos to come.
I have been writing about this threat for a long time. This week the London-based Global Warming Policy Forum will publish a collection of just over a hundred of the more than 1,600 pieces I wrote for FP Comment between 1998 and 2019.
They represent, as the book blurb says,
“Two decades of politically incorrect columns … exposing the climate (policy) crisis, junk science, environmental alarmism, unsustainable sustainability, corporate social irresponsibility, uncivil society, censorship and the cancel culture, the war on Canadian resources, and the great green energy non-transition. Incorporating a rogues’ gallery of threats to global health, wealth, freedom and happiness, from Al Gore through Maurice Strong, Justin Trudeau, Barack Obama, David Suzuki, Naomi Klein, and Mark Carney to the Pope.”
Environmental hysteria has been with us for more than half a century, but it had risen to new heights of frenzy before COVID struck, not least in the elevation of Swedish schoolgirl Greta Thunberg as its spokeschild.
Thunberg, who has been disgracefully exploited, is perhaps the most prominent example of what I call pre-traumatic stress disorder, a state of deliberately induced acute environmental anxiety.
An entire generation was force-fed the self-serving apocalyptic misrepresentations of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth.
I do not wish to make Greta suffer more than she already has, but I have used her now-famous challenge at the UN in the fall of 2019 — “How Dare You!” — as the title of this collection because it reflects the self-righteous totalitarian intolerance of the climate industrial complex and its idealistic young mouthpieces.
I cut my journalistic teeth in Canada writing about the economic nationalist follies of Pierre Trudeau, specifically with books on the 1980 National Energy Program and the state oil company, Petro-Canada.
The title of the latter book — Self-Serve: How Petro-Canada Pumped Canadians Dry — summed up my mounting reservations about Canada’s “Natural Governing Party” and its bureaucratic cohorts, as well as about left-liberalism more generally.
Now another Trudeau heads a Liberal party with much more dangerous pretensions, even as it threatens — as his father did — to wreck the nation’s finances. These pretensions are closely tied to a much larger agenda rooted in the UN.
Canadian Liberals like to talk of the country “punching above its weight,” though they don’t usually mean “doing damage out of proportion to our size.”
But we can certainly claim to have done disproportionate damage in terms of Canadians who have masterminded and/or are pushing the Agenda.
First and foremost comes the late Maurice Strong, who was critical in programs of indoctrinating children, infiltrating radical environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs) into the policy process at every level, and creating bureaucratic makework on an unprecedented scale.
He was also critical in sucking the corporate sector into the Agenda via organizations such as the World Economic Forum and the World Business Council on Sustainable Development.
Strong’s equally dangerous successor is Mark Carney, former governor of both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, and currently United Nations Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance.
That Justin Trudeau should have appointed Carney his adviser on economic recovery is almost beyond satire. Carney is the leader of a campaign to defund Canada’s most important industry and kill fossil fuels globally.
The ENGOs are the Agenda’s stormtroopers. My book contains numerous columns about their vicious campaigns of lies and intimidation against Canadian forestry and oil companies.
It also includes segments dealing with the subversive concepts of “sustainable development” and “corporate social responsibility” and finally how, and why, the much-heralded “green transition” simply isn’t happening, and indeed can’t happen.
In the wake of COVID-19, it is essential that businesses be as innovative, efficient, and productive as possible in order to mend the damage that the pandemic — and pandemic policy — have done to lives and livelihoods.
It cannot afford the burden of a bogus “Climate Emergency” and policies that seek a “carbon-neutral economy” as part of a deliberately poorer, freedom-constrained, and globally governed world.
The coronavirus will pass, but the battle to kill fossil fuels will continue. Only now it will represent even more of a threat to ravaged economies, particularly Canada’s.
It is crucial to understand the origins of the demonization of fossil fuels and how it represents more than a threat merely to prosperity. It is also an assault on freedom and even the environment itself.

principiascientificinternational--2020-10-15--Vitamin C Cuts COVID Deaths by Two-Thirds

( OMNS Oct 13 , 2020 ) The world ’ s first randomized placebo controlled trial designed to test high dose intravenous vitamin C for treatment of COVID-19 has reduced mortality in the most critically ill patients by two thirds .
[ 1 ] The study , headed by Professor Zhiyong Peng at Wuhan ’ s Zhongnan University Hospital , started in February and gave every other critically ill COVID-19 patient on ventilators either 12,000 milligrams ( mg ) of vitamin C twice daily or sterile water in their drip .
Neither the patient nor the doctors knew who was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trial was “ double blind.
” This is the ‘ gold standard ’ of research design .
Overall , 5 out 26 people ( 19 % ) died in the vitamin C group while 10 out of 28 ( 36 % ) receiving the placebo died .
That means that vitamin C almost halved the number of deaths .
Those on vitamin C were 60 % more likely to survive .
The key measure of the severity of symptoms is called the SOFA oxygenation index .
Those with a SOFA score greater than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most critically ill , 4 people ( 18 % ) in the vitamin C group died , compared to 10 ( 50 % ) in the placebo group .
That ’ s two-thirds less deaths .
Statistically this meant that of those most critically ill who were given vitamin C , they were 80 % less likely to die .
This result , backed up with a clear reduction in inflammatory markers in the blood , was statistically significant – beyond doubt .
This level of benefit is much greater than the benefit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dexamethasone , the anti-inflammatory steroid drug that hit the headlines as the ” only proven treatment ” for COVID-19 .
[ 2 ] In this drug trial 23 % of patients on the steroid drug died compared to 26 % on placebo .
However , there were over 6,000 people in the trial so the results were statistically significant .
But now there is another proven treatment – vitamin C. The Wuhan trial needed 140 patients to be sufficiently ” powered ” for the statistics but they ran out of COVID cases during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of vitamin C , which is 50 million one gram doses , was shipped into Wuhan and given to hospitalised patients and also hospital workers .
New admissions into Intensive Care Units ( ICUs ) plummeted .
Professor Peng ended up with a third as many as the trial was designed to include .
But , even though the resulting overall statistic showing almost half as many deaths was not significant , the results from the SOFA oxygenation score and other markers were significant .
These results are especially important when case reports @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vitamin C show almost no deaths in anyone without a pre-existing end stage disease already and also over 85 , [ 3 ] and a British ICU using 2,000 mg of vitamin C have reported the lowest mortality of all ICUs in the UK , cutting deaths by a quarter .
[ 4 ] The best results are being reported in ICUs using vitamin C , steroids and anti-coagulant drugs combined , which has been standard treatment protocol in China since April .
China ’ s mortality rate from COVID is 3 persons @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s 624 per million , according to Worldometer data .
[ 5 ] On top of this , reports are coming in from ICUs that are testing the blood vitamin C levels , that the majority of their critically ill patients are vitamin C deficient , many with undetectable levels of vitamin C that would diagnose scurvy .
One ICU in Barcelona found 17 out of 18 patients had ‘ undetectable ’ vitamin C levels , akin to scurvy .
[ 6 ] Another , in the US , found almost all their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who didn ’ t survive had much lower levels than those who did .
[ 3 ] Scurvy killed two million sailors around the world between 1500 and 1800 .
In 1747 James Lind worked out the cure – vitamin C in limes , but it took fifty years before the Navy took it seriously .
So dramatic was the life-saving effect that sailors became known as ” limeys.
” Will the same thing happen with COVID-19 ?
With over a million deaths worldwide and the potential of vitamin C to more than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our governments , digital ringmasters and doctors fail to take vitamin C seriously in another day of unnecessary deaths due to ignoring the evidence .
This is not fake news .
It ’ s not the coronavirus that kills people with COVID ; it is usually the immune system over-reacting against dead virus particles , once the viral infection is over , which triggers a “ cytokine storm , ” something like an inflammatory fire out of control .
That ’ s when very high doses of both steroids and vitamin C are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which contain a hundred times more vitamin C than other organs , release both the body ’ s most powerful steroid hormone cortisol as well as vitamin C , when in a state of emergency .
The steroid helps the vitamin C get inside cells and calm down the fire .
Vitamin C is both an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant , mopping up the “ oxidant ” fumes of the cytokine storm .
Without vitamin C the steroid hormone cortisol can ’ t work so well .
That ’ s why ICU doctors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to get a patient out of the danger zone .
But even better is to prevent a person ever getting into this critical phase of COVID-19 .
That ’ s why early intervention , taking 1,000 mg of vitamin C an hour upon first signs of infection , is likely to save even more lives .
This reduces duration and severity of symptoms , with most people becoming symptom-free within 24 hours .
It takes on average , two weeks of being sick with COVID-19 to trigger the ‘ cytokine storm ’ phase @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is at risk of becoming vitamin C deficient and then developing acute “ induced scurvy.
” If you can beat the infection within 48 hours you ’ ll be out of the woods .
You can lower your risk even further by taking vitamin D ( 5000 IU/d , or more : 20,000 IU/d for several days if you already have symptoms ) , magnesium ( 400 mg/d in malate , citrate , or chloride form ) , and zinc ( 20 mg/d ) [ 7-11 ] Prevention is better than cure .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ COVID Much like Lind ’ s limes , twice Nobel Prize winner Dr Linus Pauling proved the power of high dose vitamin C in the 1970 ’ s .
[ 12-18 ] It is thanks to him we know about the benefits of high dose vitamin C. The cover of his landmark book “ Vitamin C and the Common Cold ” has a statement that reads , in relation to a predicted swine flu epidemic at that time “ it is especially important that everyone know that he can protect himself to a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its consequences , with this important nutrient , vitamin C. ” [ 19 ] It ’ s been 50 years since Pauling proved the anti-viral power of vitamin C. Isn ’ t it time we took this seriously ?

Vitamin C Cuts COVID Deaths by Two-Thirds
Written by Patrick Holford
(OMNS Oct 13, 2020) The world’s first randomized placebo controlled trial designed to test high dose intravenous vitamin C for treatment of COVID-19 has reduced mortality in the most critically ill patients by two thirds. [1]
The study, headed by Professor Zhiyong Peng at Wuhan’s Zhongnan University Hospital, started in February and gave every other critically ill COVID-19 patient on ventilators either 12,000 milligrams (mg) of vitamin C twice daily or sterile water in their drip.
Neither the patient nor the doctors knew who was getting vitamin C or placebo so the trial was “double blind.” This is the ‘gold standard’ of research design.
Overall, 5 out 26 people (19%) died in the vitamin C group while 10 out of 28 (36%) receiving the placebo died. That means that vitamin C almost halved the number of deaths. Those on vitamin C were 60% more likely to survive.
The key measure of the severity of symptoms is called the SOFA oxygenation index. Those with a SOFA score greater than 3 are most critically ill. Of those most critically ill, 4 people (18%) in the vitamin C group died, compared to 10 (50%) in the placebo group.
That’s two-thirds less deaths. Statistically this meant that of those most critically ill who were given vitamin C, they were 80% less likely to die. This result, backed up with a clear reduction in inflammatory markers in the blood, was statistically significant – beyond doubt.
This level of benefit is much greater than the benefit seen in the randomised controlled trial on dexamethasone, the anti-inflammatory steroid drug that hit the headlines as the ”only proven treatment” for COVID-19. [2] In this drug trial 23% of patients on the steroid drug died compared to 26% on placebo. However, there were over 6,000 people in the trial so the results were statistically significant.
But now there is another proven treatment – vitamin C. The Wuhan trial needed 140 patients to be sufficiently ”powered” for the statistics but they ran out of COVID cases during March, a month after 50 tons of vitamin C, which is 50 million one gram doses, was shipped into Wuhan and given to hospitalised patients and also hospital workers.
New admissions into Intensive Care Units (ICUs) plummeted. Professor Peng ended up with a third as many as the trial was designed to include. But, even though the resulting overall statistic showing almost half as many deaths was not significant, the results from the SOFA oxygenation score and other markers were significant.
These results are especially important when case reports in American ICUs using 12,000 mg of vitamin C show almost no deaths in anyone without a pre-existing end stage disease already and also over 85, [3] and a British ICU using 2,000 mg of vitamin C have reported the lowest mortality of all ICUs in the UK, cutting deaths by a quarter. [4]
The best results are being reported in ICUs using vitamin C, steroids and anti-coagulant drugs combined, which has been standard treatment protocol in China since April. China’s mortality rate from COVID is 3 persons per million compared to the UK’s 624 per million, according to Worldometer data. [5]
On top of this, reports are coming in from ICUs that are testing the blood vitamin C levels, that the majority of their critically ill patients are vitamin C deficient, many with undetectable levels of vitamin C that would diagnose scurvy.

That’s when very high doses of both steroids and vitamin C are needed.
Normally, the adrenal glands, which contain a hundred times more vitamin C than other organs, release both the body’s most powerful steroid hormone cortisol as well as vitamin C, when in a state of emergency. The steroid helps the vitamin C get inside cells and calm down the fire.
Vitamin C is both an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant, mopping up the “oxidant” fumes of the cytokine storm. Without vitamin C the steroid hormone cortisol can’t work so well. That’s why ICU doctors administer both extra vitamin C and steroids to get a patient out of the danger zone.
But even better is to prevent a person ever getting into this critical phase of COVID-19. That’s why early intervention, taking 1,000 mg of vitamin C an hour upon first signs of infection, is likely to save even more lives. This reduces duration and severity of symptoms, with most people becoming symptom-free within 24 hours.
It takes on average, two weeks of being sick with COVID-19 to trigger the ‘cytokine storm’ phase. During that time, the patient is at risk of becoming vitamin C deficient and then developing acute “induced scurvy.” If you can beat the infection within 48 hours you’ll be out of the woods.
You can lower your risk even further by taking vitamin D (5000 IU/d, or more: 20,000 IU/d for several days if you already have symptoms), magnesium (400 mg/d in malate, citrate, or chloride form), and zinc (20 mg/d) [7-11] Prevention is better than cure.
Pauling put the C in Colds and COVID
Much like Lind’s limes, twice Nobel Prize winner Dr Linus Pauling proved the power of high dose vitamin C in the 1970’s. [12-18] It is thanks to him we know about the benefits of high dose vitamin C. The cover of his landmark book “Vitamin C and the Common Cold” has a statement that reads, in relation to a predicted swine flu epidemic at that time “it is especially important that everyone know that he can protect himself to a considerable extent against the disease, and its consequences, with this important nutrient, vitamin C.” [19]
It’s been 50 years since Pauling proved the anti-viral power of vitamin C. Isn’t it time we took this seriously?

The data add to the early results from Eli Lilly, which showed a reduction in virus levels for patients at some doses and a tantalizing hint that the treatment might help keep patients out of the hospital.
Monoclonal antibodies are synthetic versions of one of the immune system’s own weapons against invaders.

principiascientificinternational--2020-10-16--Behavioral Analysis: The Covidian Cult

Behavioral Analysis: The Covidian Cult

One of the hallmarks of totalitarianism is mass conformity to a psychotic official narrative .
Not a regular official narrative , like the “ Cold War ” or the “ War on Terror ” narratives .
A totally delusional official narrative that has little or no connection to reality and that is contradicted by a preponderance of facts .
Nazism and Stalinism are the classic examples , but the phenomenon is better observed in cults and other sub-cultural societal groups .
Numerous examples will spring to mind : the Manson family , Jim Jones ’ People ’ s Temple , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , etc.
, each with its own psychotic official narrative : Helter Skelter , Christian Communism , Xenu and the Galactic Confederacy , and so on .
Looking in from the dominant culture ( or back through time in the case of the Nazis ) , the delusional nature of these official narratives is glaringly obvious to most rational people .
What many people fail to understand is that to those who fall prey to them ( whether individual cult members or entire totalitarian societies ) such narratives do not register as psychotic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ entirely normal .
Everything in their social “ reality ” reifies and reaffirms the narrative , and anything that challenges or contradicts it is perceived as an existential threat .
These narratives are invariably paranoid , portraying the cult as threatened or persecuted by an evil enemy or antagonistic force which only unquestioning conformity to the cult ’ s ideology can save its members from .
It makes little difference whether this antagonist is mainstream culture , body thetans , counter-revolutionaries , Jews , or a virus .
The point is not the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is the atmosphere of paranoia and hysteria the official narrative generates , which keeps the cult members ( or the society ) compliant .
In addition to being paranoid , these narratives are often internally inconsistent , illogical , and … well , just completely ridiculous .
This does not weaken them , as one might suspect .
Actually , it increases their power , as it forces their adherents to attempt to reconcile their inconsistency and irrationality , and in many cases utter absurdity , in order to remain in good standing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of course impossible , and causes the cult members ’ minds to short circuit and abandon any semblance of critical thinking , which is precisely what the cult leader wants .
Moreover , cult leaders will often radically change these narratives for no apparent reason , forcing their cult members to abruptly forswear ( and often even denounce as “ heresy ” ) the beliefs they had previously been forced to profess , and behave as if they had never believed them , which causes their minds to further short circuit , until @ @ @ @ @ @ @ think rationally , and just mindlessly parrot whatever nonsensical gibberish the cult leader fills their heads with .
Also , the cult leader ’ s nonsensical gibberish is not as nonsensical as it may seem at first .
Most of us , upon encountering such gibberish , assume that the cult leader is trying to communicate , and that something is very wrong with his brain .
The cult leader isn ’ t trying to communicate .
He is trying to disorient and control the listener ’ s mind .
Listen to Charlie @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what he says , but how he says it .
Note how he sprinkles bits of truth into his stream of free-associated nonsense , and his repetitive use of thought-terminating clichés , described by Robert J. Lifton as follows : “ The language of the totalist environment is characterized by the thought-terminating cliché .
The most far-reaching and complex of human problems are compressed into brief , highly selective , definitive-sounding phrases , easily memorized and easily expressed .
They become the start and finish of any ideological analysis.
” – Thought Reform @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Study of “ Brainwashing ” in China , 1961 If all this sounds familiar , good .
Because the same techniques that most cult leaders use to control the minds of the members of their cults are used by totalitarian systems to control the minds of entire societies : Milieu Control , Loaded Language , Sacred Science , Demand for Purity , and other standard mind-control techniques .
It can happen to pretty much any society , just as anyone can fall prey to a cult , given the right set of circumstances @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our societies right now .
An official narrative is being implemented .
A totalitarian official narrative .
A totally psychotic official narrative , no less delusional than that of the Nazis , or the Manson family , or any other cult .
Most people can not see that it is happening , for the simple reason that it is happening to them .
They are literally unable to recognize it .
The human mind is extremely resilient and inventive when it is pushed past its limits .
Ask anyone who has struggled with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We do not recognize when we are going insane .
When reality falls apart completely , the mind will create a delusional narrative , which appears just as “ real ” as our normal reality , because even a delusion is better than the stark raving terror of utter chaos .
This is what totalitarians and cult leaders count on , and exploit to implant their narratives in our minds , and why actual initiation rituals ( as opposed to purely symbolic rituals ) begin by attacking the subject ’ s mind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , psychedelic drugs , or some other means of obliterating the subject ’ s perception of reality .
Once that is achieved , and the subject ’ s mind starts desperately trying to construct a new narrative to make sense out of the cognitive chaos and psychological trauma it is undergoing , it is relatively easy to “ guide ” that process and implant whatever narrative you want , assuming you have done your homework .
And this is why so many people — people who are able to easily recognize totalitarianism in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ perceive the totalitarianism that is taking shape now , right in front of their faces ( or , rather , right inside their minds ) .
Nor can they perceive the delusional nature of the official “ Covid-19 ” narrative , no more than those in Nazi Germany were able to perceive how completely delusional their official “ master race ” narrative was .
Such people are neither ignorant nor stupid .
They have been successfully initiated into a cult , which is essentially what totalitarianism is , albeit on a societal scale @

On the contrary, they feel entirely normal. Everything in their social “reality” reifies and reaffirms the narrative, and anything that challenges or contradicts it is perceived as an existential threat.

The point is not the identity of the enemy. The point is the atmosphere of paranoia and hysteria the official narrative generates, which keeps the cult members (or the society) compliant.
In addition to being paranoid, these narratives are often internally inconsistent, illogical, and … well, just completely ridiculous. This does not weaken them, as one might suspect. Actually, it increases their power, as it forces their adherents to attempt to reconcile their inconsistency and irrationality, and in many cases utter absurdity, in order to remain in good standing with the cult.
Such reconciliation is of course impossible, and causes the cult members’ minds to short circuit and abandon any semblance of critical thinking, which is precisely what the cult leader wants.
Moreover, cult leaders will often radically change these narratives for no apparent reason, forcing their cult members to abruptly forswear (and often even denounce as “heresy”) the beliefs they had previously been forced to profess, and behave as if they had never believed them, which causes their minds to further short circuit, until they eventually give up even trying to think rationally, and just mindlessly parrot whatever nonsensical gibberish the cult leader fills their heads with.

Listen to Charlie Manson “rapping.” Not just to what he says, but how he says it. Note how he sprinkles bits of truth into his stream of free-associated nonsense, and his repetitive use of thought-terminating clichés, described by Robert J. Lifton as follows:
“The language of the totalist environment is characterized by the thought-terminating cliché. The most far-reaching and complex of human problems are compressed into brief, highly selective, definitive-sounding phrases, easily memorized and easily expressed. They become the start and finish of any ideological analysis.” – Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism: A Study of “Brainwashing” in China, 1961
If all this sounds familiar, good. Because the same techniques that most cult leaders use to control the minds of the members of their cults are used by totalitarian systems to control the minds of entire societies: Milieu Control, Loaded Language, Sacred Science, Demand for Purity, and other standard mind-control techniques.
It can happen to pretty much any society, just as anyone can fall prey to a cult, given the right set of circumstances.
It is happening to most of our societies right now. An official narrative is being implemented. A totalitarian official narrative. A totally psychotic official narrative, no less delusional than that of the Nazis, or the Manson family, or any other cult.
Most people cannot see that it is happening, for the simple reason that it is happening to them. They are literally unable to recognize it. The human mind is extremely resilient and inventive when it is pushed past its limits. Ask anyone who has struggled with psychosis or has taken too much LSD. We do not recognize when we are going insane.
When reality falls apart completely, the mind will create a delusional narrative, which appears just as “real” as our normal reality, because even a delusion is better than the stark raving terror of utter chaos.
This is what totalitarians and cult leaders count on, and exploit to implant their narratives in our minds, and why actual initiation rituals (as opposed to purely symbolic rituals) begin by attacking the subject’s mind with terror, pain, physical exhaustion, psychedelic drugs, or some other means of obliterating the subject’s perception of reality.
Once that is achieved, and the subject’s mind starts desperately trying to construct a new narrative to make sense out of the cognitive chaos and psychological trauma it is undergoing, it is relatively easy to “guide” that process and implant whatever narrative you want, assuming you have done your homework.
And this is why so many people — people who are able to easily recognize totalitarianism in cults and foreign countries — cannot perceive the totalitarianism that is taking shape now, right in front of their faces (or, rather, right inside their minds).
Nor can they perceive the delusional nature of the official “Covid-19” narrative, no more than those in Nazi Germany were able to perceive how completely delusional their official “master race” narrative was. Such people are neither ignorant nor stupid. They have been successfully initiated into a cult, which is essentially what totalitarianism is, albeit on a societal scale.
