Media Outlet Tied To Qatar Tricks Young Liberal Americans Into Spreading Anti-American Propaganda, Experts Say | The Daily Caller

Media Outlet Tied To Qatar Tricks Young Liberal Americans Into Spreading Anti-American Propaganda, Experts Say | The Daily Caller:

AJ has become a major video creator on Facebook, with its viral videos in the style of Buzzfeed or NowThis targeting liberal millennials. But unknown to some, it’s actually a branch of Al Jazeera and is owned by the government of Qatar, a Middle Eastern nation long accused of meddling in the affairs of other countries.
The AJ videos often focus on progressive ideals and are framed in a way that emphasizes the divisions in U.S. policy and politics. And Facebook doesn’t disclose the Qatar connection on videos AJ posts and apparently hasn’t blocked its content, even as the social media platform cracks down on fake news and hidden foreign influence.

'Third GE wind turbine collapse would be sign something's wrong': insurer | Recharge

'Third GE wind turbine collapse would be sign something's wrong': insurer | Recharge:

"Any third turbine collapse involving a GE machine in quick succession should set alarm bells ringing at the manufacturer, given the rarity of such incidents globally, said a leading insurer of renewable energy projects.
Fraser McLachlan, CEO of specialist insurer GCube, said the two collapses so far this year of GE turbines at US wind farms is already enough to give pause for thought.
“We probably see one or two of these a year out of a fleet of many thousands of turbines,” covered by GCube, McLachlan told Recharge. 
“It’s not that common. In a very bad year you might get three.
The US OEM has said that the collapses – in New Mexico in February and then in Oklahoma 10 ten days ago – are being treated as “separate and isolated” incidents.
“Two that close together, from the same manufacturer ... you would begin to wonder...."

Al Gore Forecasted “Ice-Free” Arctic by 2013; Ice Cover Expands 50%
"Self-styled “global-warming” guru Al Gore (shown) and a gaggle of supposed “climate scientists” have egg all over their faces — big time.
In 2007, 2008 and 2009, Gore publicly and very hysterically warned that the North Pole would be “ice-free” by around 2013 because of alleged “man-made global warming.” 
Citing “climate” experts, the government-funded BBC hyped the mass hysteria, running a now-embarrassing article under the headline: “Arctic summers ice-free ‘by 2013’.”
Other establishment media outlets did the same..."

William Barr seeks dossier's influence on FBI's Trump-Russia investigation - Washington Times

William Barr seeks dossier's influence on FBI's Trump-Russia investigation - Washington Times:

The public knows that the FBI relied extensively on the Democratic Party-financed dossier, whose list of anti-Trump allegations influenced the bureau’s overall attitude toward the candidate and eventual president.
Now, Attorney General William Barr has made it clear he wants to know more: Just how far did the discredited dossier take the FBI into the depths of a nearly three-year Trump investigation?
“What were the standards that were applied? What was the evidence?” Mr. Barr told CBS News, adding that his focus is not on the rank-and-file but on senior FBI leaders.

When Radical Ideologies Corrupt Universities - Minding The Campus
"I keep being invited to talk about free speech on college campuses and every time I’m invited I make the same point: that this isn’t about free speech and this is only tangentially about college campuses. This is about a breakdown in the basic logic of civilization, and it’s spreading. College campuses may be the first dramatic battle but of course, this is going to find its way into the courts; it’s already found its way into the tech sector. It’s going to find its way to the highest level of governance if we aren’t careful, and it actually does jeopardize the ability of civilization to continue to function.

~Bret Weinstein

Mike Nayna’s documentary on the Evergreen State College Affair, from which I transcribed the above quote from Bret Weinstein, is a riveting watch. 

No matter how closely you followed the debacle at the time, there is really no substitute for this fascinating glimpse behind the scenes. 

Evergreen academics can be seen meekly and repeatedly submitting to ideological manipulation and on a number of occasions terrified senior faculty offer transparently insincere professions of faith in the hope of evading the vengeful fury of their mindlessly sloganeering student tormentors. 

The barely contained thirst for violence as the means to an end is palpable. 

It is sobering to imagine oneself confronted with such an uprising, and if Weinstein is right, then this alarming phenomenon may be about to spill out of the university campuses to which it has hitherto been largely confined.

This problem has already taken root in academia in the UK. 

Quillette editor-in-chief Claire Lehmann recently wrote about the un-personing of Noah Carl, whose crime was proposing that controversial research should not be suppressed, even though he had not engaged in any himself. 
“Imagine what would happen,” Lehmann invites us to wonder, “if the behavior of St Edmund’s College become a new norm.” 

It is now creeping into corporate and government life too..."

Wind Energy's Absurd

We’ve posted several times about German-led companies running amok in places like Cesme in Turkey. 

Now we wonder how many other places are experiencing the same heavy-handed disrespect to local communities.

Because yesterday we were informed by a new Norwegian friend of threats to a small island called Frøya, very near to the island of Smola about which we have posted, the most recent being the tragedy of the sea eagles killed by turbines on that island.

...BUT

Its original application was for turbines with a max height of 135m and with turbines of 2.3 -3 MW. It was on this premise that the application for exemption was evaluated, having respect to consequences for nature and wildlife, consideration for cultural heritage, the zone of visual impact, shadow flicker and noise.

The company is now proposing turbines with a height of 180m and with a capacity of 4.2 MW.

So, hub height increased from 84m to 135m; an increase of 60%
Tip height increased from 135m to 180m; an increase of 33%
