1) Have you ever wondered why events like these seem to "repeat" ? Why do bad things happen on schedule and what is the connection? HINT: Creativity Comes From God, Lack of Creativity is what I call the Broken Record. 
3) Now Lets Connect the Names to the Spanish Flu> Bill Gates Sr/Jr + Rockefeller + Anthony Fauci
Gas prices in the US are rocketing, rising 7, 11 and 8.5 cents for a gallon regular over the last 3 days into Saturday numbers released by AAA. The national average stands 19.2 cents shy from the all time AAA high of $4.114 reached in July 2008 when George W. Bush was president.
Two years ago March, the world rushed into panicked lockdowns based on a flawed count of how rapid Covid spreads AND what portion of cases end up dead. By mid-March I posted a 20 tweet thread outlining why the math is off and it's my pinned tweet since. But here is the issue:
Many people still think that the US lost 1 million to COVID because we haven't Faucied enough. They don't consider that panicked policies resulting from a frenzied narrative made things worse. Any request for deliberation, debate and sanity was shot down as "downplaying COVID."

3/the majority unionized, will be eliminated in the coming weeks.” This is not technically a layoff announcement, as the WSJ claimed, & it is nothing to be celebrated. But it’s also not something that should be exaggerated for political gain.
I'm teaching a new course this term on Film and Environmental History. This week we watched New Deal docs about the Dust Bowl and Mississippi River floods (The Plow and The River) and finished with the animated #GreenNewDeal film narrated by @AOC and posted on @theintercept
Students were fascinated by the ND docs and also enjoyed @mollycrabapple's illustrations and AOC's focus on climate and justice. We discussed science, storytelling, and ecol. crisis--then and now--and contrasted the racial politics of the ND with the GND's more inclusive vision.

Next week's class: Godzilla (!) and the history of radioactive fallout.

WEDNESDAY MORNING IN ENERGY: Where I'm mostly just going to leverage the #Kentucky election to talk about Justified to try to get some eyeballs, mostly because lots going on! #OOTT #energy
So today is where we've got a big day in Brazil - where they're auctioning off offshore rights on a whole load of acreage. #OOTT

If all the areas receive a bid, Brazil’s government will net 106.5 billion reais ($26.7 billion) in signing bonuses - and that will plug holes in the country's leaky budget.
Brazil is one of few non-OPEC countries boosting production, meanwhile. #OOTT

Hopping on the bandwagon to bash #climatechange defeatism is nice, but I think a more useful exercise is to ask *why* people believe that 'failure' to mitigate is a foregone conclusion. Why do my smart, well-meaning friends sigh and ask me if I *really* think we can cut CO2? (1)
Is it just the fatalism of the post-9/11 world? We passed the 18th anniv. of war in Afghanistan last mo., the Syrian civil war is in its ninth year. Unarmed civilians are being gunned down in Chile + Iraq, government brutality is on public display in Lebanon and Hong Kong... (2)
We wonder if our elections and elected officials have been compromised by foreign influence and have ceased to be surprised by political corruption. Storms batter Puerto Rico this time, or the Philippines, fires burn Greece and CA (3)
Yesterday, the #KeystonePipeline cracked and dumped 210,000 gallons of oil onto South Dakota prairie. Here’s the reason the pipeline burst... gregpalast.com/pig-burst-keys… #KeystoneXL #KeystoneSpill #NoKXL
The PIG (Pipeline Inspection Gauge) that is sent through the #KeystonePipeline to check for evidence of any weakness didn’t squeal a warning. Why not? Because, the PIG has been silenced — its software jacked and hacked gregpalast.com/pig-burst-keys… #KeystoneSpill
Note: We've obtained independent confirmation of this from not one, not two, but THREE software engineers who designed the PIG "warning" system gregpalast.com/pig-burst-keys… #KeystoneXL #KeystonePipeline #KeystoneSpill #NoKXL
