“Can’t get diesel without gasoline. Matched set.”

Crude oil is a mixture of liquidy-sludgy hydrocarbons. Crudes come in many grades. Crudes are separated through refining – based on specific gravity.

Civilization’s INDUSTRY is 100% dependent on “heavy distillates” (kerosene-jet fuel-and below). Heavy = BLOOD. Everything above kerosene is a BYPRODUCT from industry’s POV.

The US “technolution” produces gas and LIGHT oils that do not make much heavy distillates. It comes out more in the petrol range. SO US refiners are starving for heavy distillates.

Believe it or not, those giant stinkin’ fans actually did run near full capacity, for a day, in Saskatchewan

Giant stinkin’ fan at Assiniboia.

What do you know? Some days the wind does actually blow in Saskatchewan. And not from politicians talking, either.

This is an exceptionally rare occurrence where the 617 megawatts of wind power generation in Saskatchewan actually put out somewhere close to nameplate capacity. Who’d thunk it?

Wednesday On Turtle Island

Biden’s America:  Pervert Joe talks to young people.  Democrats protect democracy from democracy.  Leftist spits at right wing provocateur.  Old Joe wanders off.  Biden mispronounces new PM’s name.  The commie bridge in La La land.  Your morning meme.

Today In Islam:   Blasphemy in Holland.  Boston councillor wants a Hijab Day.

Global Warming Scam News:  Just Stop Oil terrorists still at it.

Trudeau’s Canada:  CBC celebrates that anti-trans candidates didn’t win.  Some diversity in Toronto.  The Bloc leader lies under oath.  A French language problem.  Hans Gruber creates his own secret police.

Woke Europe:  Now try that at a mosque in Europe.  Topless feminist disrupts Catholic Mass.

PSA for Mama Bears

One half of the Dark Horse Podcast, Heather Heying, has just published an important piece:

This week, the President of the United States sat down with a young gay man who has risen to fame cosplaying as a girl. During more than 220 days of “being a girl,” Dylan Mulvaney has embodied and embraced an array of regressive stereotypes of femininity—proudly wearing ridiculous shoes, learning how to be catty, flouncing down a fashion runway. He even, famously, referred to the genitalia he does not have as a “barbie pocket.”

During his audience with the President, Mulvaney talked about “gender-affirming health care,” which includes puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgery. All of these medical interventions cause irreversible harm, being both invasive and dangerous, especially to children and adolescents. But in a short video from Biden’s sit-down with Mulvaney, Biden pronounces that he doesn’t think that “any state or anybody has the right” to ban gender-affirming health care. Of banning such interventions, the president says, “I just think it’s wrong.”

Meanwhile, an advisory committee assembled by the CDC voted unanimously to add the Covid vaccines to the childhood vaccination schedule.

One Flu Out Of The Wuhan Nest

John Solomon;

Scientists are entertaining the possibility that SARS-CoV-2 not only leaked from a lab but had been genetically modified, based on new research into the “peculiar pattern of unique restriction endonuclease recognition sites” in the virus.

This pattern allows “efficient dis- and re-assembly of the viral genome characteristic of synthetic viruses,” according to the Oct. 20 preprint by mathematical biologist Alex Washburne, Duke University pharmacologist Antonius VanDongen and University of Wurzburg molecular immunologist Valentin Bruttel.

The “fingerprint” of this “stitching” and the “pattern of mutations generating them are extremely unlikely in wild coronaviruses and nearly universal in synthetic viruses,” the researchers wrote.

“The BsaI/BsmBI restriction map of SARS-CoV-2 is unlike any wild-type coronavirus, and it is unlikely to evolve from its closest relatives.” […]

“I tried to poke holes in this study, really hard, and I hate its findings,” University College London Genetics Institute Director Francois Balloux wrote in a tweet thread that concluded the preprint “looks solid both conceptually and methodologically.”

Balloux said he was “able to replicate the key findings” and called the paper “by far the strongest piece of evidence to date against a simple scenario of strict zoonotic origin.” He predicted “Covid twitter will combust in an implosion of rage and fury over this preprint.”

And,

Fauci’s official work calendar from November 2019 to March 2020 suggests he feared the virus didn’t have natural origin, according to Open the Books, which recently obtained the document through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.

It shows Fauci had several previously unreported “top-secret” and “restricted” meetings with the National Security Council in January and February 2020, in venues including the White House Situation Room. Do these meetings “give the impression people-in-the-know thought the virus had a natural origin?” Open the Books founder Adam Andrzejewski wrote.

See how they narrate: When the most likely explanation becomes “extraordinary claim”.

It’s Tuesday On Turtle Island

Biden’s America:  Global warming loons are just obnoxious in America as they are in Europe.  Climate change morons interrupt The View.  Jan. 6 panel will only show edited clips to prove their narrative.  Trump interview will not be live.  Sniffing Biden wants trans surgery on kids.  The vast censorship scheme.  We need more fact checkers.  Your morning meme.

Fascism News:  Dictator in China extends his reign.  The Chinese spies in America.

Pride News:  Kids wanting to be trans just going through a phase.

Global Warming Scam News:  Stop the celebrations. Christmas is bad for the environment.  Just Stop Oil terrorists cover King Charles waxwork model with cake.

Woke Europe:  Why did Sweden turn right wing?  Rex Murphy writes about woke Britain.

Trudeau’s Canada:  Apparently racism is running rampant in health care.  Some land defenders plead guilty.   Questions about CBC disinformation.  Should taxpayers pay the tuition of foreign students?
