What will be the real world consequences of Europe's coming energy crisis?

Anyone with any sense could have seen it coming - Europe is on the precipice of an economic and social crisis not seen since World War II; and they basically did it to themselves. Ever since the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent NATO sanctions, the talking heads in the mainstream media have consistently fed the public an endless narrative on how the EU doesn't need Russian natural gas. We've heard an array of theories and chest beating from corporate journalists and lying politicians; all of them sounding so certain that Russia would be isolated and economically destroyed within no time. This has not happened, and now the reverse might soon be true for the EU and the UK.

To give you a sense of the disinformation being peddled to the public on this issue, take a look at the 10 point "battle plan" put together by the International Energy Agency (IEA) back in March to cut off Russian energy imports and save the EU from a crisis:
1) Don't sign new gas supply contracts with Russia. (REALITY: This foolishly assumes that Russia wants to sign new contracts with Europe.)

2) Replace Russian gas supplies with alternative sources. (REALITY: No alternative sources exist that can come close to filling Europe's energy needs and that can be as easily transported. Europe will have to draw on energy commodities from around the world, taking up a large piece of a shrinking pie and driving up prices for most nations on the planet in the process.)

3) Introduce minimum gas storage rules. (REALITY: This assumes there will be gas to store for later.)

Rockefeller Foundation wants behavioral scientists to come up with more convincing covid vaxx narratives

In yet another sign that the covid vaccination agenda of globalist institutions did not do quite as well as they had originally hoped, the Rockefeller Foundation has revealed that it (along with other non-profits) has been pumping millions of dollars into a behavioral science project meant to figure out why large groups of people around the world refuse to take the jab.

The "Mercury Project" is a collective of behavioral scientists formed by the Social Science Research Council (SSRC), a non-profit group which receives considerable funding from globalist organizations and governments. The stated goals of the project are rather non-specific, using ambiguous language and mission statements. However, the root intentions appear to be focused on using behavioral psychology and mass psychology elements to understand the global resistance to the recent covid compliance efforts.

Mercury groups will be deployed in multiple nations and regions and will study vaccine refusal and the medical "disinformation" that leads to it. They are operating with the intent to tailor vaccination narratives to fit different ethnic and political backgrounds, looking for the key to the gates of each cultural kingdom and convincing them to take the jab.

Next British PM could face £23bn autumn spend to cover £900 rise in energy bills

Ministers could face an additional £23bn price tag for covering extra household energy costs of £900 this autumn, rising to £90bn next year, a new paper by the Institute for Government has found.

The paper, looking at the options for Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak in No 10, also warned the government should plan for prolonged rises in energy bills by going a lot further in making public appeals to use less gas - for example by informing consumers about the cost savings from turning down thermostats - and in committing to building more energy efficient homes to help protect consumers.

No 10 and Kwasi Kwarteng, the business secretary and close ally of Truss, have been resisting appeals to the public to use less energy. However, the next prime minister, likely to be Truss, faces some very difficult choices on entering office on how far to subsidise energy bills.

Boris Johnson's government has already spent £33bn on covering 90% of the then predicted increase in energy bills but soaring prices mean a further £23bn would be needed to cover average bills that are forecasted to be £900 more per household than was predicted just three months ago, according to the IfG.

Day-long queues for coal in Poland as soaring energy prices cause people to panic buy ahead of winter

Several weeks ago we reported that amid Europe's mindblowing gas and electricity prices, Deutsche Bank predicted that a growing number of German households will be using firewood for heating, a forecast which appears to have become self-fulfilling as German google searches for firewood ("brennholz") had since exploded off the charts:

But while Germans are still "searching" merely in the virtual realm, for countless Poles the search is all too real.

Comment: It's not just Poland, much of Europe is collapsing:

The man accused of killing six people at the Waukesha, Wisconsin Christmas parade last year was escorted out of court Friday after going on a tirade during a pretrial hearing.

Darrell Brooks, 39, went from sleeping at the defense table to yelling at Judge Jennifer Dorow and sheriff's deputies Friday morning, according to footage published by WISN-TV.

"I don't care about no livestream. Just like y'all don't care. All this political," the man accused of plowing into paradegoers with an SUV last November yammered at Dorow.

No new support packages offered to Homes for Ukraine sponsors as the first group of six-month placements is set to come to an end

A "shocking" 50,000 Ukrainian refugees in the UK could be made homeless next year, the government has been warned, but ministers are refusing to offer a fresh package of support to offset the impending crisis.

As the cost of living crisis bites and with no end in sight to the war with Russia, fears are mounting that the government's Homes for Ukraine scheme will unravel next month when refugees' initial six-month placements with hosts end without alternative accommodation in place.

Comment: Are your heartstrings sore yet? Bryant and the execrable Mark Townsend have certainly been pulling hard enough on them.

A high school in Denver, Colorado is under fire for showing students a video telling them not to contact the police if they witness a "violently racist or homophobic" incident.

The rationale is that cops will "escalate, rather than reduce" the violence, the New York Post reports.

Originally posted to YouTube in 2017 by the Barnard Center for Research on Women, the "Don't be a Bystander: 6 Tips for Responding to Racist Attacks" YouTube vid says that given the current political environment, "White supremacists and White nationalists have been emboldened, and as a result, public attacks are on the rise."

A Florida sex offender was arrested after he allegedly tried to "purchase" an 8-year-old girl for $100,000 at a grocery store, police said.

Hellmuth Kolb, 85, approached the child's mom at a Winn Dixie in Port Orange Thursday and made the indecent proposal, according to the Port Orange Police Department.

Kolb was on probation and was banned from having contact with children after trying to buy a different child in Walmart in 2018, according to WESH-TV.

The media conspired to keep news about Hunter Biden quiet until after the 2020 election in a bid to help President Biden win, Bill Maher charged.

"Hunter Biden's laptop was buried by the press, even the head of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, said that was a mistake. They buried the story," Maher told his guests comedian Rob Reiner and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minnesota).

The host then went on to reference author Sam Harris's recent podcast interview claiming a coordinated effort to suppress Hunter Biden news was "warranted."

Lack of CO2 threatens Poland's food industry, including beer, meat, vegetables, and dairy

CO2 is crucial to meat and dairy sectors as well
Danish brewery Carlsberg's subsidiary in Poland could cut or halt beer production due to a lack of carbon dioxide deliveries, that is becoming a problem for the food industry in the country, reported Reuters.

"If deliveries of carbon dioxide (CO2) are not resumed, there will be a high probability of significant production cut or production halt," spokeswoman for Carlsberg Polska Beata Ptaszyńska-Jedynak said on Thursday.

She explained that the beer industry uses carbon dioxide to keep oxygen out of beer, but that the lack of CO2 was hitting many other parts of the food industry which also uses it for refrigeration.

Comment: With fertilizer shortages, drought, soaring energy costs, in addition to the attacks by governments on farmers, unprecedented food shortages are all but inevitable, and this is precisely what numerous officials in governments across the planet have been warning about; less developed nations are already relying on grain deliveries from countries such as Russia and China:
