It's Freezing

 

It's freezing here, seriously freezing, there's ice in the dog's water bowl and snow on the ground. "What is this," I thought to myself grimly, "North Central Texas or Ice Station Zebra?" The latter, apparently, and here we are at the Compound wrapped in layers of protective clothing against the biting cold and piercing wind. What's happened?

Clearly this. Our Old Enemy the Weather decided to change, outraged at being cheated of EPA billions. Tribute denied, it changed the climate. So yes, the War on Weather continues, with hardy Texans ice fishing on Lake Whitney, doing their best just to keep alive in the new Ice Age.

In related news, the UK's committed itself to producing zero carbon emissions by 2030, or something like that. So the Sceptered Isle's going to end family farming because kill all Kulaks and cover the land with wind turbines and solar panels. That'll save the planet, obviously, and who knows, maybe all the rainbow energy will power Two-Tier Kier's mighty army all the way to Moscow itself. 

I pondered all of this as a cold sun set in the rear-view after Mass, the revealed Word proclaimed and Sacrament confected. No small thing, the Mass must go on, even in the face of our ancient adversary, the Weather.

ROOT AND BRANCH

 

Democrats are howling, shrieking, and throwing up in their mouths while they tear at their hair as their favorite slush fund is shuttered. That's right, USAID is shut down for business, and what a business it was. From funding regime change around the world to transsexual theater groups in Transnistria, USAID was busy funneling millions/billions of dollars of your money to the Radical Rainbow.

Some might say the agency positively glowed in the dark, and others think it was the lynchpin of Deep State bureaucratic resistance to the incoming administration. An unelectedly glowing 5th Column in the heart of DC, which would turn it's iridescent regime change genius inwards, on America itself. Great idea, but I guess they believed their own marketing. Sorry, USAID persyns, the Executive is boss of you and locked you all out over the weekend, even as Rat Claw Rubio took over.

Communist Whore

Consider that. Rat Claw Rubio is acting director of USAID with intent to root out its corrupt money laundering treason semper et ubique. Result. Meanwhile, enraged Congress persyns and assorted mountebanks are quivering, shaking, pounding the air and demanding entry into their money laundering pit. This would include Col. Vindman, remember him? Perhaps he wanted to retrieve something from his office.

You heard it here first, some time ago. Saying

So good for you, EL SENOR 47, for getting right down to business in your first two weeks in office. Keep it coming until the bloated kleptocracy of our sclerotic governance is taken out, root and branch. That in mind, what's next? Department of Education, please. The IRS? Doubleplusgood please.

Your Amiable Friend,

Trump Beats The Weather

 

Yes he does, yet again. Not one day, not a single day after he was sworn in as President in the Rotunda of the US Imperial Capitol, 47 got down to business, unlike the previous mountebanks, and defeated Global Warming. You doubt me? Here's the evidence, from Texas. Have a look:

There it is, snow, no doubt about it. Good work, Mr. President, no one liked the Paris Climate Accords anyway, except corrupt grifters in the DS, but here at the Compound we're cheering on energy independence, drill baby drill, and an end to the NetZero scam. At what cost?

ICE. Yes, the weather has most certainly changed. Are we heading into a new Ice Age? Seems that way, looking at the evidence in NC rural Texas. Perhaps Ed. Milliband, real name, in the UK will take notice.

Ice Ice Baby,

The King Returns

 

Better in song? Here at the Compound we think it is. So expressive, beyond prose. So here's a song:

Rousing, eh? Of course we're shameless Monarchists here, in the frozen depths of Texas, where the climate's changed on account of our not paying enough tax. Oops. Now you pay the price, ICE. What an historic day.

Cheers,

LSP

ICE

 

No, not the brave men and women tasked with defending our borders, but real ice, the literal ice of the Arctic. And with it, shipping lanes, immense natural resources and geostrategic influence, to say nothing of glaciated alien tech. So who's after this frozen treasure trove? America, Canada, and Russia, with Danish Greenland conveniently situated.

Have a look at this helpful infographic, via RWA:

You'll note America's physical control of Greenland and Canada would give the US equal footing with Russia in what RWA believes will shape up to be one of the "Great Games" of the current century. Here's their brief analysis:

So let's talk about the Arctic. 

Russia is positioning the Northern Sea Route as a key global shipping lane, which it controls almost entirely. This route significantly shortens transit times between Europe and Asia. With improved infrastructure and receding ice, the NSR is superior to the Suez Canal - not only shorter (and therefore cheaper, and becoming cheaper with the infrastructure improvements), but also there are no queues, no tolls and no pirates or Houthis. 

The melting ice also makes it easier to exploit natural resources in the Arctic circle, and they are estimated to be enormous: 15% of the world's undiscovered oil, 30% of the world's undiscovered natural gas (those numbers come from the US Geological Survey iirc). There are also other strategic resources such as rare earth elements. 

Russia has been developing oil and natural gas reserves in the Russian parts of the Arctic, particularly in areas like the Yamal Peninsula and the Kara Sea. Diversifying energy export routes is CRITICAL for Russia moving towards the mid-21st century. Projects like the Yamal LNG and Arctic LNG 2 are absolutely crucial to Russian economic strategy, and these projects also involve partnership with China -- of course, Russia is China's only gateway to the Arctic, so they are highly interested in cooperation. 

In recent years, Russia has reopened or a bunch of old Soviet scientific and military bases across the Arctic, particularly the Arctic Shamrock base on Alexandra Land. We're also testing many of our newest weaponry in the Arctic and even basing it there, such as the S-500 air defence system and various missiles (Bastion, Tsirkon). We are operating a respectable fleet of nuclear subs in the Arctic Ocean, too. 

Currently, Russia has an edge over everyone else in the Arctic -- we own the largest portion of it, we operate the world's largest and most advanced fleet of icebreakers (including the INCREDIBLY cool nuclear-powered ones), we have been heavily investing in both military and civilian infrastructure in the region. 

The Americans would obviously love to challenge Russia in the Arctic Circle. Oh, I forgot to mention -- the whole area is critical for all WW3 Armageddon planning, because the shortest flight path for ICBM exchanges also crosses the North Pole. The US don't want Russia to control an important global shipping lane, and they want those natural resources for themselves. They have been trying to invest in Alaskan infrastructure but efforts have been meh.

America is lagging behind when it comes to icebreakers and military capabilities in the area, though they have e.g. the "Arctic Edge" and "Cold Response" exercises. 

It's clear that things like direct control over the Northwest Passage and being able to project naval power from Greenland would be highly desirable for the US in the long term. Allies and puppets are great but for "saving a floundering hegemony" and WW3 purposes direct control is always better. 

In any case, the Arctic will be one of the most important strategic regions of the 21st century, and competition will be fierce. Also, we really should work on the Spitsbergen/Svalbard question...

 

Make of this what you will, but perhaps recent trolling Viz. Canada and Greenland begin to make sense in light of the above. Then there's alien tech, hidden civilizations, Admiral Byrd, Ice Nazis and more besides. Clearly worth a separate post.

Ice

It gets pretty hot in the summer, which is why we need ice to cool things down. But some people don't like ice, they think ice is fascist and literally Hitler.

Goof-off Got Himself Iced

So they fly flags against the ice. Others hate ice so much they throw bombs at it and get shot, not that you'd know it much from our honest-as-the-day's-long media.

Epstein No Longer On Ice

Seriously, since when did it become Nazi for a country to have a border? Since someone decided a massive influx of cheap labor into the US would boost the corporate bottom line and, by the way, make for some handy votes. 

For example, how many seats in the electoral college would California lose if it lost all its illegals? Good question.

No Comment

In other exciting news, our old friend Pedo Epstein's found himself back in jail again. And we have to ask, is this just the tip of the iceberg?

Brrrr,

ICE ICE Baby

It seems Texas has a new anthem. Thanks 'Horse. (RHSM)
