‘Green’ Scottish Ferry Emits Far More CO2 Than Old Diesel Ship

by Will Jones, Daily Sceptic:

The CO2 emissions of a long-delayed and over-budget ‘green’ Scottish ferry will be far larger than that of the 31 year-old diesel ship it is set to replace. BBC News has more.

An emissions analysis by CalMac has calculated MV Glen Sannox will emit 10,391 equivalent tonnes of CO2 a year compared with 7,732 for MV Caledonian Isles.

The dual-fuel ferry has more car capacity but requires larger engines which also emit methane, a greenhouse gas with a far greater global warming effect than CO2.

China Hacks the U.S. Treasury

by Lincoln Brown, PJ Media:

Weren’t we promised that with the advent of the Biden administration, the adults would be back in charge? Yeah, about that, time is getting short for them to show up.

On Monday, a report was relased that a Chinese hacker gained access to the U.S. Treasury Department. According to the report, this was a state-sponsored attack, and the hacker was affiliated with the Chinese government. Although the announcement was made on Monday, Fox News said officials learned about the breach on December 8. A spokesperson for the department said:

Media Lies About Bidenomics Exposed Brutally By Reality: Thousands Of Retail Closures, Continued Rising Prices, Drug Shortages, Food Confiscation Now Underway, And Unemployment Benefit Claims Are At Highest Levels In Three Years

by Susan Duclos, All News Pipeline:

The media spent almost four years telling Americans that Bidenomics was good for the U.S. economy, citing so-called “experts,” claiming that all indicators showed a thriving economy.

In the meantime, Americans were looking at their bank accounts, wallets, increases in utility bills and the extreme high price of food.

Media personalities like former CNN host Don Lemon, had the nerve to look straight in the face of someone he was asking about the economy and tell the man he wasn’t misinformed, about his own finances.

Gold Clause & CBDC

by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:

QUESTION: Regarding CBDC, will they convert all the savings/cash in your bank account, will they convert everything in your brokerage accounts (all stocks etc.) will they go after gold and silver you have in storage (Brinks, for example)?

KS

ANSWER: Everything will be converted to the new CBDC. The money in your bank account is already just an electronic book entry. This is why banks are closing branches everywhere in the USA as well as Europe. They are preparing for CBDCs, which means without physical paper money, bank branches are no longer needed. You can deposit a check on your phone. The only thing left for a branch is safe deposit boxes, and the government assumes you are hiding cash there anyway. So kiss your local branch goodbye. The local bank I used because it was the closest has closed, and it is now a 30-minute ride to the closest one still open.

Yellen Says US Will Hit Debt Ceiling Mid-January, Forcing Treasury to Employ ‘Extraordinary Measures’

from The Epoch Times:

Extraordinary measures, often described as accounting maneuvers, allow the Treasury to free up cash and delay default.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned that the United States will hit its statutory debt ceiling around the middle of January, a development she said will prompt the Treasury to resort to “extraordinary measures” to prevent the government from defaulting on its obligations.

Worst Homelessness Crisis Ever! Those On The Low End Of The Economic Spectrum Are Being Absolutely Pulverized By This Economy

by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog:

All over America, our core urban areas are teeming with tent cities, hordes of homeless drug addicts, and vast throngs of newly arrived migrants that don’t have anywhere to go.  When I wrote about this topic one year ago, homelessness in the U.S. was at an all-time record high, and it was increasing at the fastest pace ever recorded.  It was going to be hard to top that, but somehow we did.  Fast forward to today, and homelessness in the U.S. has reached another all-time record high, and it is increasing at an even faster pace.  We are literally in the midst of the worst homelessness crisis that our federal government has ever measured, and there is no end in sight.

Sugar Juice & Fraud Propped Up Failing Biden Economy – Ed Dowd

by Greg Hunter, USA Watchdog:

Former Wall Street money manager and financial analyst Ed Dowd of phinancetechnologies.com is back with more data on how the Biden Administration propped up a failing economy during the 2024 election year.  Dowd contends “crisis level spending” was being administered, along with some bigtime “fraud.”  Dowd says, “We had 10% deficit to GDP during the Great Financial Crisis (2008 – 2009) when we actually had a crisis.  We had 8% deficit to GDP during this election year.  You have to ask yourself, what was the crisis?  The crisis was to get the Biden Administration (and Kamala) re-elected.  So, they went on binge spending.  They borrowed from the future to try to ensure they won.  They did it two ways:  They hired massive amounts of government personnel to float the economy, and they also did illegal immigration.  We are thinking it was 10 million to 15 million illegal immigrants that came in the last four years.
