From the previous thread…thx Eagles.
A surge of arctic air is about to bring parts of the Midwest the coldest temperatures in years by the middle of this week, as part of the polar vortex is set to blast the region with dangerously cold temperatures.
The National Weather Service said in its forecast discussion that a “potentially record breaking push” of Arctic air will inundate the Northern Plains and Great Lakes by Wednesday, bringing wind chills as low as -40 degrees in many locations.
“There’s no mild way of saying it. Brutal cold is coming,” the NWS’ Chicago office said on Twitter.

Shaping up to be a cold winter here. Currently -20 (Canadian) windchill. Snow squall warning in effect and we have a few lows forecast down around and below -20. Huddle around the fireplace weather.

oh, thanks for the hat tip! I saw downstairs that you guys are due for -20, so it’s not going to be pretty for us either
The craft beer market is strong enough that Pennsylvania had 282 craft breweries in 2017, the sixth most in the nation, according to the Brewers Association. The independent brewers trade group based in Boulder, Colo., ranks Pennsylvania No. 1 in terms of craft beer production — 3.72 million barrels last year.

What I hate is the see-saw’s we get. Last week we had a -20 low one day and a couple days later it was up to 5. Think that’s out of the system and we’re back to the winters I remember growing up with. Except I can’t handle the cold like I used to when I was younger.

MONACA, Pa. — Economic “game changer” is not a phrase often used in Appalachia and rarely a phrase proclaimed in unison by politicians from both parties at the same time on any subject. Yet since 2016, when Shell Chemical announced it was building a $6 billion ethane cracker plant here, an economic revolution began that is far from reaching its potential.

I got to run a mile – in ballet slippers – to the hotel to get help. My niece and nephew and mom were in the car, the kids were 10 and 4. It was the ONLY time I’ve seen my father frightened. As the shuttle was driving me down to pick up my family, all the flight crews started coming in. People were camped out on the floor.

incoming new talking points
Leading climate scientists and meteorologists are banking on a new strategy for talking about climate change: Take the politics out of it. That means avoiding the phrase “climate change,” so loaded with partisan connotations as it is. Stop talking about who or what is most responsible. And focus instead on what is happening and how unusual it is – and what it is costing communities.

It got so cold on the flightline that we were only allowed to work in 10 minute shifts….. I had 4 guys on my load crew, I’d send 2 guys out, then join them after 5 minutes, when their time was up they would swap places with the 2 guys still in the truck….. Repeat the process until the load was finished….. When we loaded Short Range Attack Missiles (AGM-69) in the weapons bay of the FB-111’s I had to check the connections, you couldn’t get your head in the bay to visually check so I had to remove the glove from my right hand to physically verify the connections….

I’ve often thought that Nancy really didn’t want to hold the State of the Union at all. She didn’t want the optics of Democrats sitting on their hands while Trump talked about all the great economic news (which the MSM is either not reporting or giving short shrift) and the real problems at the border, and also was really afraid of what that grandstanding asshat AOC and her bigot posse would do during the speech, since that little attention whore has NO filter and would do anything to be the big story that night. I think in the end, she really hoped that President Trump would be stubborn about giving it on the night it was intended, but from a location that would save her party some real embarrassment.
Once that government shutdown was over, she then looked petty for not letting the speech go forward. There was absolutely NO reason to delay it for a week, but she needed to do so. The question is WHY?

Its leadership sees the nation as being in endless struggle with the West’s liberalism
In June 2017 former China correspondent , former Turnbull staffer and then principal international adviser in Prime Minister and Cabinet, John Garnaut, delivered within the department the analysis he had long contemplated — Engineers of the Soul: Ideology in Xi Jinping’s China.
If you have anything to do with China, personal or professional, you need to read it. The brief was transmitted to HR McMaster when he was national security adviser to President Donald Trump and circulated to the US National Security Council team.
Garnaut says that in initially advising the Australian government on China “it was simply too alien and difficult” to include the vital component of ideology, hence his practice was to “normalise” China simply because people were not ready to grasp the ideological DNA of the regime.
Now he wanted to describe that ideology. It begins with the recognition communism was grafted on to the classical Chinese dynastic system, and the leaders of the People’s Republic “never really changed the mental wallpaper” .
“Xi Jinping has exercised an unwritten aristocratic claim to power which derives from his father’s proximity to the founder of the red dynasty: Chairman Mao,” Garnaut says. “He is the compromise representative of all the great founding families. This is the starting point for understanding the world view of Xi Jinping and his princeling cohort.
“In the view of China’s princelings , or ‘revolutionary successors’ as they prefer to be known, China is still trapped in the cycle which created and destroyed every dynasty that had gone before. In this tradition, when you lose political power you don’t just lose your job. You lose your wealth, your freedom , probably your life and possibly your entire extended family. You are literally erased from history . Winners take all and losers lose everything.
“In the Chinese formulation it is ‘you die, I live’ . I must kill preemptively in order to live. Xi and his comrades in the red dynasty believe they will go the same way as the Manchus and the Mings the moment they forget.”
Garnaut says Marxism-Leninism was interpreted to Mao by a critical intermediary: Stalin. Mao found his ideological treasure in Stalin’s History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks ): Short Course that, at the time of Stalin’s 1953 death, was the third most printed book in history and “the closest thing in China to a religious text” .
The book, Garnaut says, “is a manual for perpetual struggle against a roll call of imagined dastardly enemies who are collaborating with imagined Western agents to restore bourgeois capitalism and liberalism. You can imagine how this formulation was revelatory to a ruthless Chinese leader like Mao who had mastered the ‘you die, I live’ world and was obsessed with how to prevent the decay which had destroyed every imperial dynasty before.
“What Stalin offered Mao was not only a manual for purging his peers but also an explanation of why it was necessary. Purging his rivals was the only way a vanguard party could ‘purify’ itself, remain true to its revolutionary nature and prevent capitalist restoration.
“Crucially, Mao split with Khrushchev because Khrushchev split with Stalin and everything he stood for. We hear a lot about how Xi and his peers blame Gorbachev for the collapse of the Soviet state but actually their grievances go back much further. They blame Khrushchev for breaking with Stalin . And they vow they will never do to Mao what Khrushchev did to Stalin. Now, 60 years on, we’re seeing Xi making his claim to be the true revolutionary successor of Mao. This is the language the deep red princelings spoke when together and occasionally when I interviewed them and crashed their gatherings in the lead-up to the 18th party congress.”
Garnaut quotes from Xi’s speech: “To dismiss the history of the Soviet Union and the Soviet Communist Party, to dismiss Lenin and Stalin, and to dismiss everything else is to engage in historic nihilism, and it confuses our thoughts and undermines the party’s organisations on all levels.”
This is the logic driving Xi’s “ever-deepening purge of peers” : of challenger Bo Xilai, security chief Zhou Yongkang, two vicechairs of the PLA Central Military Commission, Xu Caihou and Guo Boxiong, Youth League fixer Ling Jihua, and potential successor, Sun Zhengcai. “None of this is personal ,” Garnaut said. “It’s dialectical . And inevitable.’’
“History needs to be pushed along its dialectical course,” said Xi in his speech marking the party’s 95th birthday in 2015. “History always moves forward and it never waits for all those who hesitate.”
Garnaut says: “The essence of Maoism and Stalinism is perpetual struggle. This is the antidote to the calcification and putrefaction that has destroyed every dynasty, dictatorship and empire. This is why Xi and his peers believe Maoism and Stalinism is still highly relevant . Not just relevant, but existential . Xi has set in motion a purification project, a war against the counter-revolution , that has no end point because the notional utopian destination of perfect communism will always be kicked a little further down the road.” It is why extreme politics cannot stop at the 19th party congress.
Garnaut asks: “Who was the world leader who described artists and authors as ‘engineers of the human soul’ and said ‘the production of souls is more important than the production of tanks’ ?”
The quote comes from Stalin’s speech at the home of writer Maxim Gorky, at the end of the great famine. The message is that art and literature are to be instrumental . Their job is to indoctrinate the masses and advance the revolution . Garnaut quotes Mao extending the Stalin formula: truth, love and art have no purpose but that of politics. “Mao’s talk on literature and art was his way of introducing the Yan’an Rectification Campaign, the first great systematic purge of the Chinese Communist Party,” Garnaut said. It was a project of “orchestrated peer pressure and torture” ; by breaking people “physically, socially and psychologically” , the human mind could be conditioned “in the same way Pavlov conditioned dogs” .
When Xi spoke at the Beijing Forum on Literature and Art in 2014, he argued for a return to Stalinist /Maoist principles: “Art and literature is the engineering that moulds the human soul.” In short, the arts must serve politics, meaning , as Garnaut said, “the totalitarian project” of unity language, knowledge and behaviour. “Xi uses the same ideological template to describe the role of ‘media workers’ , teachers and university scholars. They are all engineers of ideological conformity.”
Could China have turned out differently? There was a contest internally from Mao’s death to the Tiananmen massacres but, Garnaut argues, “ideology won that contest” . “Everything Xi says as leader, and everything I can piece together from his background, tells me he is deadly serious about the totalising project,” Garnaut said. “The unbroken thread that runs from Lenin through Stalin, Mao and Xi is the party is and always has defined itself as being in perpetual struggle with the ‘hostile’ forces of Western liberalism.
“ Xi did not invent this ideological project but he has highly reinvigorated it. And he is pushing communist ideology at a time when the idea of ‘communism’ is as unattractive as it has been at any time in the past 100 years. In the space of five years, with the assistance of big data and artificial intelligence , he has been bending the internet from an instrument of democratisation into a tool of omniscient control. The challenge for us is that Xi’s project of total control does not stop at China’s borders . It is packaged to travel with Chinese students, tourists, migrants and especially money. It flows through the channels of the Chinese language internet, pushes into all the world’s major media and cultural spaces.”
Garnaut calls his address “the bit we forgot to study” . It was designed to bust the notion of China as a normal country. This is how the Western educated mind is trained to think, and it is false. He says if you’re in the business of dealing with China in intelligence, defence, higher education, trade, economics or whatever, then you need to understand the ideology of Lenin-Stalin-Mao and Xi.

@ coldwarrior:
If you think BREXIT is bad you ain’t seen nothing yet comrade !
🙂
This is what happens when/if England stays in the European Union EU
WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THE REALITY OF THE LISBON TREATY
THE LISBON TREATY THAT COMES INTO FORCE 2020, IS WORSE THAN THE SO CALLED BREXIT DEAL,
IF 99% OF THE BRITISH THINK THIS BREXIT DEAL IS BAD JUST LOOK AT THE LISBON TREATY.
ALL PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW NOW , BOTH LEAVERS AND REMAINERS..
“What will actually happen if we stay in the EU”
is a question no REMAINER will ever want to answer but here are the real facts, warts and all.
Check it out….
1: The UK along with all existing members of the EU lose their abstention veto in 2020 as laid down in the Lisbon Treaty when the system changes to that of majority acceptance with no abstentions or veto’s being allowed.
2: All member nations will become states of the new federal nation of the EU by 2022
as clearly laid out in the Lisbon treaty with no exceptions or veto’s.
3: All member states must adopt the Euro by 2022 and any new member state must do so within 2 years of joining the EU as laid down in the Lisbon treaty.
4: The London stock exchange will move to Frankfurt in 2020 and be integrated into the EU stock exchange resulting in a loss of 200,000 plus jobs in the UK because of the relocation.
(This has already been pre-agreed and is only on a holding pattern due to the Brexit negotiations, which if Brexit does happen, the move is fully cancelled – but if not and the UK remains a member it’s full steam ahead for the move.)
5: The EU Parliament and ECJ become supreme over all legislative bodies of the UK.
6: The UK will adopt 100% of whatever the EU Parliament and ECJ lays down without any means of abstention or veto, negating the need for the UK to have the Lords or even the Commons as we know it today.
7: The UK will NOT be able to make its own trade deals.
8: The UK will NOT be able to set its own trade tariffs.
9 The UK will NOT be able to set its own trade quotas.
10: The UK loses control of its fishing rights
11: The UK loses control of its oil and gas rights
12: The UK loses control of its borders and enters the Schengen region by 2022 – as clearly laid down in the Lisbon treaty
13: The UK loses control of its planning legislation
14: The UK loses control of its armed forces including its nuclear deterrent
15: The UK loses full control of its taxation policy
16: The UK loses the ability to create its own laws and to implement them
17: The UK loses its standing in the Commonwealths
18: The UK loses control of any provinces or affiliated nations e.g.: Falklands, Cayman Islands, Gibraltar etc
19: The UK loses control of its judicial system
20: The UK loses control of its international policy
21: The UK loses full control of its national policy
22: The UK loses its right to call itself a nation in its own right.
23: The UK loses control of its space exploration program
24: The UK loses control of its Aviation and Sea lane jurisdiction
25: The UK loses its rebate in 2020 as laid down in the Lisbon treaty
26: The UK’s contribution to the EU is set to increase by an average of £1.2bn per year and by £2.3bn per year by 2020
Is this the future that the UK youth of today want, and have been told that will be stolen from them?
They should all be on their knees thanking us for trying to save them all from being turned into Orwellian automatons!
Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty gives both sides two years to reach agreement so, unless the UK and the 27 remaining EU member states agree to extend the deadline for talks, the UK will leave on 29 March 2019, a Friday.

Boots sold to Italians Stefano Pessina who have based their HQ in Switzerland to avoid tax to the tune of £80 million a year, using an EU loan for the purchase.
JDS Uniphase run by two Dutch men, bought up companies in the UK with £20 million in EU ‘regeneration’ grants, created a pollution nightmare and just closed it all down leaving 1,200 out of work and an environmental clean-up paid for by the UK tax-payer.
They also raided the pension fund and drained it dry.
UK airports are owned by a Spanish company.
Scottish Power is owned by a Spanish company.
Most London buses are run by Spanish and German companies.
The Hinkley Point C nuclear power station to be built by French company EDF, part owned by the French government, using cheap Chinese steel that has catastrophically failed in other nuclear installations. Now EDF say the costs will be double or more and it will be very late even if it does come online.
Swindon was once our producer of rail locomotives and rolling stock. Not any more, it’s Bombardier in Derby and due to their losses in the aviation market, that could see the end of the British railways manufacturing altogether even though Bombardier had EU grants to keep Derby going which they diverted to their loss-making aviation side in Canada.
39% of British invention patents have been passed to foreign companies, many of them in the EU
The Mini cars that Cameron stood in front of as an example of British engineering, are built by BMW mostly in Holland and Austria.
His campaign bus was made in Germany even though we have Plaxton, Optare, Bluebird, Dennis etc., in the UK.
The bicycle for the Greens was made in the far east, not by Raleigh UK but then they are probably going to move to the Netherlands too as they have said recently.
Anyone who thinks the EU is good for British industry or any other business simply hasn’t paid attention to what has been systematically asset-stripped from the UK.
Name me one major technology company still running in the UK, I used to contract out to many, then the work just dried up as they were sold off to companies from France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, etc.
Now we don’t even teach electronic technology for technicians any more, due to EU regulations.
I haven’t detailed our non-existent fishing industry the EU paid to destroy, nor the farmers being paid NOT to produce food they could sell for more than they get paid to do nothing, don’t even go there.
I haven’t mentioned what it costs us to be asset-stripped like this, nor have I mentioned immigration, nor the risk to our security if control of our armed forces is passed to Brussels or Germany.
Find something that’s gone the other way, I’ve looked and I just can’t.

As far as Putin’s Russia is concerned it’s all nationalism and Tsarist ambitions to be great once more facilitated by a fascist drive to subvert the west and weaken the Russian border states as Russia has always had vulnerable borders.

for instance, it was easily -50F one morning about 5 or 6 years ago, the temp on the benz’s guage showed -22F and the hydraulic fluid was coagulated. that wasn’t the wind chill, that was the ambient air temp.

Good morning. reading this article would probably not start your day on a cheery note.
My only reason for posting is that USA is somehow letting an opinion piece slip through that opposes New York’s lassiez faire abortion laws. When I see the video of thst NY legislature whoop and holler when it passed
it reminded me of the old gladiator movies where the Romans in the Coliseum would holler and call for the death of the vanquished gladiator.

Ok for all of the science deniers USA Today found a guy to lecture you.
It goes like this , the extreme cold caused by the polar vortex actually supports the global warming narrative.
It goes like this , the polar regions are warming which pisses off the vortex or something so it goes rampaging through the Midewest. Ok , I get it. uh no, the Vortex at each poll gets agitated and releases during COLD winters.
it is a natural phenomenon not caused by your SUV.

The story that the actor who claims that he was attacked by two racist thugs in Chicago doesn’t sound right.
They yelled “this is MAGA country” really? When the police arrived at the apartment where he was staying he still had the rope around his neck, what?
This allegedly took place in the Streeterville Area in Chicago at 2am after he had left a Subway store.
My daughter lives in Streeterville, I know the area pretty well. This does not add up.
I just heard on the radio that the bill to legalize infanticide in Virginia has been defeated. I’ll have to double check, tho
@ eaglesoars:
California allows it already. The monstrous aspect about the New York law (as I understand it) is the provision that allows the actual KILLING of an infant that survives an abortion, even if the infant would otherwise be viable. And these ghouls CHEERED their accomplishment.
