Of weak, woke, western governments to scrape together a “threat” and elevate it as a warning to the political opposition.

Twenty-five people have been arrested in raids across Germany on suspicion of plotting to overthrow the government. […]

An estimated 50 men and women are alleged to have been part of the group, said to have plotted to overthrow the republic and replace it with a new state modelled on the Germany of 1871 – an empire called the Second Reich.

“We don’t yet have a name for this group,” said a spokeswoman for the federal prosecutor’s office. The interior minister said it was apparently made up of an organisation “council” and a military arm.

Wednesday’s dawn raids are being described as one of the biggest anti-extremism operations in modern German history. Three thousand officers took part in 150 operations in 11 of Germany’s 16 states, with two people arrested in Austria and Italy.

Almost half of arrests took place in southern states of Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria.

Sure, whatever.

Via WUWT;

Federal Energy Minister Chris Bowen is seeking urgent briefings from his department as the government seeks to limit the fallout from the collapse of engineering contractor Clough, amid a threat to almost $10 billion of projects critical to Australia’s energy transition.

…

Industry observers warned that Clough’s administration, which occurred after a $350 million sale deal with Italy’s Webuild fell through, would delay and could drive up costs of the Perth-based contractor’s projects.

These include some of Australia’s biggest projects, such as the $5.9 billion Snowy 2.0 storage venture and the $3.3 billion Project EnergyConnect electricity interconnector between South Australia and NSW, as well as one of the few gas power plants being built in the National Electricity Market.

Taibbi: Twitter Files Supplemental (thread)

On Friday, the first installment of the Twitter files was published here. We expected to publish more over the weekend. Many wondered why there was a delay.

We can now tell you part of the reason why. On Tuesday, Twitter Deputy General Counsel (and former FBI General Counsel) Jim Baker was fired. Among the reasons? Vetting the first batch of “Twitter Files” – without knowledge of new management.
The process for producing the “Twitter Files” involved delivery to two journalists (Bari Weiss and me) via a lawyer close to new management. However, after the initial batch, things became complicated.

Over the weekend, while we both dealt with obstacles to new searches, it was @bariweiss who discovered that the person in charge of releasing the files was someone named Jim. When she called to ask “Jim’s” last name, the answer came back: “Jim Baker.”

Unbelievable.

If anyone is wondering why GDP was climbing during the pandemic when businesses were shutting down and entire sectors such as the travel industry ground to a halt, here’s your answer. There was a lot of vote buying to be done, and now we can’t even determine whose vote was bought.

Hogan’s team found that $4.6 billion of overpayments were made to ineligible recipients of benefits for individuals. Another $27.4 billion of payments to individuals and employers should be investigated further, the report said, calling it “the minimum amount that should be investigated.”

The post-payment verification process has just started — CRA said it has recouped $2.3 billion — even though the legislation means the agency has just three years after payment was made to verify eligibility…

But the auditor is skeptical about the chances of recovering the bulk of the money owed.

The Sound Of Settled Science

Homo naledi may have lit fires in underground caves at least 236,000 years ago.

Researchers have found remnants of small fireplaces and sooty wall and ceiling smudges in passages and chambers throughout South Africa’s Rising Star cave complex, paleoanthropologist Lee Berger announced in a December 1 lecture hosted by the Carnegie Institution of Science in Washington, D.C.

“Signs of fire use are everywhere in this cave system,” said Berger, of the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.

H. naledi presumably lit the blazes in the caves since remains of no other hominids have turned up there, the team says. But the researchers have yet to date the age of the fire remains. And researchers outside Berger’s group have yet to evaluate the new finds.

H. naledi fossils date to between 335,000 and 236,000 years ago (SN: 5/9/17), around the time Homo sapiens originated (SN: 6/7/17). Many researchers suspect that regular use of fire by hominids for light, warmth and cooking began roughly 400,000 years ago (SN: 4/2/12).

Such behavior has not been attributed to H. naledi before, largely because of its small brain. But it’s now clear that a brain roughly one-third the size of human brains today still enabled H. naledi to achieve control of fire, Berger contends.

Wuhan lab leak whistleblower trailed by the FBI;

A SCIENTIST who claims Covid was engineered in a US-funded Wuhan lab has accused the FBI of trailing him with drones and breaking into his house to silence him.

Dr Andrew Huff, former vice president at EcoHealth Alliance, said he was followed for more than a year as he began to unravel an alleged extensive “cover-up” by the US government.

Legal documents provided to The Sun Online show whistleblower Dr Huff is preparing to file a legal injunction and temporary restraining order against the FBI and other US government agencies.

In his new book – The Truth About Wuhan – the epidemiologist claims the pandemic was the result of the US government’s funding of dangerous genetic engineering of coronaviruses in China.

He branded the origins of the Covid pandemic as one of the greatest cover-ups in history – and claims the “US government is to blame for the transfer of dangerous biotechnology to the Chinese”.

Dr. Huff dumped Ecohealth files into the public domain an hour ago.

Michael Shellenberger has a summary.

From consent to coercion to coverup: Even after seeing many shocking facts & revelations on the MAiD issue over the past 2 months, it came as a jolt to me that the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario has made a draft policy to the effect that the death certificate of MAiD recipients in the province will NOT show MAiD as the cause of their death…

Our lives are the government crop, always ripe for harvest.

Note that a friend who knows this better than I says this is par for the course for “transgressive modern art.” From the little I know, I think he’s right. Does that mean all these people are crazed pedophiles and psychopaths? Well, no. But the people in search of the next cool thing pour epater les bourgeois are enabling next level monsters. And rich people enable and collect these because… I don’t know. Do not ask me what is wrong with these people. Words are my profession, but I don’t have words to describe this.

Via American Thinker;

President Joe Biden’s Department of Energy is touting a grant to a lithium battery company as a move that would help herald the shift to green energy and ensure the United States is cultivating domestic sources of energy. It did not say, however, that the Texas company receiving the grant operates primarily from China and is under scrutiny from American financial regulators.

The DOE announced in October that it would give the $200 million award to Microvast Holdings to build a battery separator facility in Tennessee, using funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. At the time, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said the grant would “supercharge the private sector to ensure our clean energy future is American-made.”

Broadcasters are lustily cheering anti-lockdown protesters in China. Members of Congress offer unqualified support. President Joe Biden, although more guarded, is sympathetic.

No Western politician, as far as I can see, is insulting the protesters. They are not dismissed as selfish or sociopathic, nor as dupes of conspiracy theories. Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) captured the mood: “To the people of China — we hear you and we stand with you as you fight for your freedom.”

Broadcasters and columnists who spent 2020 calling anti-lockdowners kooks and criminals are now uncomplicatedly applauding their Chinese counterparts. They see ordinary people standing up against an authoritarian government the anti-COVID policies of which were crushing liberty. . . .

Well, unless they were setting gas stations ablaze or looting Targets. Those were applauded.
