Trudeau is facilitating Vladimir Putin’s natural-gas blackmail of Germany

Liberals embarrass us once again by breaking NATO sanctions intended to support Ukraine

Well. That was embarrassing.

It’s not quite the same as the spectacle Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made of himself in his magical mystery tour of India back in 2018, with his multiple fancy-dress costume changes, his flamboyant bhangra dancing and the convicted would-be assassin in his entourage. And then having his national-security adviser try to quietly explain away the disgrace with the insinuation that it was all a set-up job by India’s intelligence agencies.

As I’ve stated before I suspect the real story behind Trudeau’s elastic sanctions is an effort to keep the green-scam alive.

If Russia turns off the spigot and the Germans riot because they’re freezing this winter there exists a real risk they will do away with all of the Globalist’s green-scam’s legislation.

Like dominos other Euro nations in the same boat are sure to follow the German example.

This would be a huge set back for the Globalists using the conflict as cover to implement the green-scam.

They see what’s happening in the Netherlands and Sri Lanka, the people are saying No More.

What better way to keep Germany in on the con than to ensure they have gas while simultaneously funding Putin’s war machine ensuring the green-scam doesn’t lose its cover.

Zelensky says Moscow will see Trudeau’s decision to return turbines as ‘weakness’

… “If a terrorist state can squeeze out such an exception to sanctions, what exceptions will it want tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? This question is very dangerous,” Zelensky said in his nightly address on Monday.

“Moreover, it is dangerous not only for Ukraine, but also for all countries of the democratic world.”

Ukraine expresses ‘deep disappointment’ as Canada sends back six Russian turbines to Germany

The Ukrainian government on Sunday expressed “deep disappointment” at Canada’s decision to release Russian-owned gas turbines that had been stranded in a Montreal repair facility because of sanctions against Moscow.

Kyiv warned the move would embolden Moscow to keep using its ability to choke off Europe’s fuel supplies as a weapon.

Russia last month cited the delayed return of the turbine equipment, which Germany’s Siemens Energy had been servicing in Canada, as the reason behind its decision to reduce the flow of natural gas through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline. The pipeline, which runs from Russia to Germany, was operating at 40-per-cent capacity.

This may be the 1st Virtue Signaling Conflict in History. Making empty performative gestures of support is Trudeau’s specialty.

Germany’s Largest Residential Landlord to Impose Heating Rationing For Tenants

Germany’s largest residential landlord which owns around 490,000 properties is set to impose energy rationing that will cut heating to tenants at night in response to falling gas imports from Russia.

Vonovia “will cut the heating output between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. to 17 degrees Celsius,” reports Reuters, adding that the company hopes the measures will save up to 8% of heating costs.

Residents have already been informed that they will face huge spikes in heating bills as a result of Germany being forced to respond to Russia restricting supplies via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline.

Imported Energy Crisis Sees Wood Burning Stoves, Dry Firewood Sell Out in Germany

While the German government prevaricates around its self-imposed energy crisis, citizens are taking matters into their own hands to keep themselves warm this coming winter with sales of cheap, reliable wood burners soaring in Europe.

That’s a Jøtul – we have one. Highly recommended.

Strongly held wishes and pixie dust won’t deliver a green utopia.

‘Green’ Germany Prepares To Fire Up the Coal Furnaces

Somehow, Germany, a country where the government is firmly committed to “green” energy, is preparing to fire up coal-burning power plants. The move is even more remarkable given that officials stubbornly refuse to restart mothballed nuclear facilities, or even reconsider the timeline for retiring those that remain online. It’s an astonishing situation for a country that very recently boasted that it would soon satisfy all its energy needs with sunshine and cool summer breezes.

Germany to restart coal plants

Germany will restart coal-fired power plants and offer incentives for companies to curb natural gas consumption, marking a new step in the economic war between Europe and Russia.

Berlin unveiled the measures Sunday after Russia cut gas supplies to Europe last week as it punched back against European sanctions and military support for Ukraine.

The steps, part of a broader strategy initiated after the invasion of Ukraine, aim to reduce gas consumption and divert gas deliveries to storage facilities to ensure that the country has enough reserves to get through the winter.

Germany could ration gas this winter as Russia cuts supply

Germany says that its citizens may have to ration the use of natural gas this winter as the country faces an energy “crisis” due to Russia reducing its supplies last week.

Berlin’s top financial official announced on Thursday that Europe’s largest economy was activating the second phase of its three-step emergency plan for natural gas consumption.

Germany rejects EU plan for ban on new fossil-fuel cars from 2035

BERLIN, June 21 (Reuters) – Germany’s government will not agree to European Union plans to effectively ban the sale of new cars with combustion engines from 2035, Finance Minister Christian Lindner said on Tuesday.

In its bid to cut planet-warming emissions by 55% by 2030 from 1990 levels, the European Commission has proposed a 100% reduction in CO2 emissions from new cars by 2035. That means it would be impossible to sell combustion engine cars from then.

Winter is coming: German agency head warns of gas shortages, bankruptcies, and massive price hikes that will send ‘shockwaves throughout the country’

A gas shortage and high prices will send “shockwaves through the country,” leading to landlords cutting the heat for tenants and widespread company bankruptcies, warned Klaus Müller, the head of Germany’s Federal Network Agency, which is the regulatory office for electricity, gas, telecommunications, postal services, and railway markets.

Müller paints a bleak picture about the crisis in an interview with German newspaper Rheinische Post, saying it will “send shockwaves throughout the country. Banks will ramp up their business with installment loans, and ailing companies will fall into insolvency.”

Müller’s office, which is a federal agency within the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, has a bird’s eye view of the economic situation in Germany and also special insight into how economic conditions will develop into the future.

Every country needs to be energy independent.

Germany: Top court rules against ex-Chancellor Merkel in AfD spat

Germany’s Federal Court of Justice (BGH) has ruled against former Chancellor Angela Merkel after the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) sued her over her remarks on a 2020 regional election.

The court said that Merkel’s remarks violated the AfD’s right to fair political competition.

The incident dates back to early 2020 when, for the first time since the party’s founding in 2013, a German state leader was elected due to votes from the AfD.

Jewish Life in Germany ‘Under Massive Threat’ – But from whom?

… Under the guise of ‘Israel criticism,’ they [the Muslims] use classic anti-Semitic stereotypes, identifying Israel as having ‘Jewish characteristics’: ‘domineering,’ ‘greedy’ or a ‘child killer,’” sociologist Imke Kummer observed about the marchers.

The German government has a long record of downplaying Muslim antisemitism, and of exaggerating “far-right” antisemitism. Curiously, however, some of the incidents documented at the al-Quds Day march in Berlin have been classified by authorities as forms of far-right antisemitism, independent watchdog groups have discovered.

Why didn’t Angela Merkel listen to Donald Trump?

He warned the former Chancellor about the dangers of Russian oil dependence

In her first public appearance since leaving office, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel defended Berlin’s Russia policy during her 16-year tenure and expressed confidence in her successor, Olaf Scholz.

Judging by the newspaper headlines following her statements, there apparently was an expectation that she would apologise and take some responsibility for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, due to her policy of close economic and political cooperation with Moscow.

No regrets over handling of Vladimir Putin, says Angela Merkel

Angela Merkel has said she feels no regrets for her handling of Vladimir Putin during her time in power, arguing that Russia’s president would have perceived a 2008 Nato membership plan for Ukraine that was blocked by her government as a “declaration of war”.

The former German chancellor also claimed that an oligarch-run and democratically immature Ukraine would have been less prepared for an invasion then than it is now.

“I would feel very bad if I had said: ‘There’s no point talking to that man [Putin]”, Merkel said in an onstage interview at the Berliner Ensemble theatre on Tuesday night – her first public appearance since leaving office half a year ago.
