Conservative Candidates Take Note – DeSantis Dominated In Florida For These Reasons BY TYLER DURDEN
THURSDAY, NOV 10, 2022 - 07:40 PM
Many Republicans are experiencing a bittersweet election week with some impressive wins, but not the “red wave” that they were hoping for. With a Congressional majority looking like a certainty and the Senate up in the air, it's an overall victory for conservatives but not a slam dunk defense against leftists and Joe Biden. What we do know is that while there was no red wave, there was certainly no blue wave either.
This tells us a few things: For one, Americans are more entrenched in their political views than ever and they aren't likely to budge. When governors like Gretchen Whitmer or Kathy Hochul can win reelection after attempting to impose hardcore authoritarian measures on their constituency during the covid scare, it becomes clear that Democrat voters are too mentally challenged to recognize they are harming themselves. Maybe those people deserve what they get.
By extension, conservative voters are far more nuanced. They aren't interested in voting for a candidate just because they identify as GOP, they want that candidate to share their values and concerns and take action. If a candidate doesn't show courage and stand immovable against establishment agendas, conservatives may just stay home rather than vote for them.
For example, in Pennsylvania, John Fetterman managed to defeat Dr. Mehmet Oz despite Fetterman's brain being scrambled by a stroke during the campaign. Democrats will vote for ANYONE that will keep their state blue, they even reelected a dead Democrat House candidate in PA (Tony DeLuca). Meanwhile, Oz avidly promoted the covid mRNA vaccines after pretending to be skeptical of them, and tried to sell his followers on them despite there being many questions of safety and efficacy. A lot of conservatives fought hard and took considerable risks in defying the mandates, and some felt betrayed by Oz's apparent truce with Big Pharma. This may have contributed to his election loss.
One Republican that fully dominated during his campaign was Ron DeSantis. There is no denying that there was a red wave in Florida, which was considered a swing state only a few years ago. Now, Democrats see the state as a lost cause for the 2024 presidential race with zero chance of retrieval. DeSantis carried nearly 60% of the vote, with Charlie Crist left with 40%. DeSantis' success also helped the majority of other GOP candidates in Florida gain a voter majority, with Republicans winning 20 congressional seats.

Why did DeSantis crush leftists in his state while many other Republicans barely squeezed a win or lost by slim margins? What did he do that they did not do? Yes, he's an incumbent, which helps by allowing the candidate to show what he has already accomplished, but that can be a double edged sword. What measures did DeSantis accomplish that won over Florida voters en masse and also prevented potential vote count “uncertainty”? Let's examine a list:
Hard Stand Against Woke Politics
DeSantis never wavered on his stance against woke politics, social justice agendas and far-left ideology. He never tried to make a deal with leftists or appease them. In fact, he instituted several measures and supported multiple bills in Florida that prevent woke politics from being taught in public schools.
He stopped Critical Race Theory from being implanted into school textbooks. He prevented sexually driven lessons from being taught and is punishing activist teachers for sexualizing (grooming) children. He has ended the injection of LGBT and Trans indoctrination for young students. He also took on one of the largest media corporations in the world, Disney, and punished them for trying to control state politics and impose woke ideology through the company's massive monetary influence.
Leftists hate DeSantis for a reason – He has been effective against their tactics and they fear that other red states will follow his lead. In his victory speech DeSantis proclaimed: "Florida is where woke goes to die."
Hard Stand On Illegal Immigration
A lot of people including many Democrats said that the strategy of busing illegal migrants from red states to far left cities like New York and Washington DC would fail. Instead, it has been a resounding success, with Democrats scrambling just to keep their city budgets from imploding under the weight of a mere 10,000 to 15,000 illegals.
While Texas gets most of the credit for this action, DeSantis and Florida did one better and sent the migrants to Martha's Vineyard, the pristine island vacation home of many leftist elitists. The fact that the people of Matha's Vineyard put on a fraudulent show by feeding the migrants some cheap lunches and then bused them straight out of town the next day to a camp on a military base was a huge embarrassment for Democrats. It proved that they can't live up to their own standards and take care of a handful of migrants while expecting border states to deal with millions per year. It was a major coup for DeSantis.
Hard Stand Against Covid Mandates And Vaccine Passports
The population of Florida is the third largest in the nation, with a high percentage of retirees and seniors citizens. The amount of pressure on DeSantis by the Federal Government and Biden along with the CDC and Anthony Fauci over the pandemic was immense. If Florida folded to the mandates, then many red states may have followed suit. This did not happen.
One of the most important characteristics of a great leader is the ability to stand by one's principles even when the majority of the public or your peers seem to be against you. When you know you are right based on reason, logic, facts and evidence, never submit or give in. DeSantis showed this kind of fortitude over the past two years and this most of all is what likely won him another term as governor.
Passing Bills For Election Integrity
DeSantis supported measures which secured Florida's election integrity and prevented any potential chicanery in the 2022 midterms. He signed a law strengthening voter identification at the polls. Mass mailings of ballots, drop boxes and ballot harvesting are now illegal in Florida. Private financiers are not allowed to administer elections. He also established the Office of Election Crimes and Security, which monitors election integrity and enforces stiff penalties for anyone caught trying to cheat.
If these rules were enforced in every state in the country, one might wonder how differently elections might turn out. Future conservative candidates should take note of DeSantis and his overwhelming victory; it pays to actually defend the values you claim to represent, because conservative voters are not Democrats, they have standards.

A Real American President: Ron DeSantis | Political Discussion ForumsShare
No one is enjoying the public fight between former President Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis more than President Biden, who if he chooses to run for another term may be battling one of the two Republicans.
Biden, showing some confidence after a better-than-expected midterm performance by Democrats in the House and Senate, has gleefully dubbed one “the former defeated President” and the other “Donald Trump incarnate.”
“It will be fun watching them take on each other,” Biden said Wednesday at a news conference following Tuesday’s elections.
Biden’s pithy answer came after NBC’s Kristen Welker asked him which man would be a more formidable opponent in the 2024 election, following DeSantis’s landslide victory on Tuesday’s midterms and the more uneven approach of a number of candidates backed by Trump.
Those results have prompted a debate within the GOP over whether it’s time for Trump to step aside.
A number of Republicans, viewing the results of the midterms, now see DeSantis as the stronger presidential candidate. They fear that if Trump ends up winning the GOP nomination, the party will lose the White House in 2024. Even conservative outlets appeared to turn on the former president: The New York Post’s front page on Wednesday morning featured a photo of DeSantis and his family with a banner headline reading “DeFUTURE.”
Trump has responded to the midterms — and the good reviews for DeSantis — by publicly going after the Florida governor. In messages on Truth Social on Thursday, the former president described DeSantis as an “average” governor and disloyal. DeSantis did not fire back publicly.
Biden allies say the Trump attacks on DeSantis are good news for the White House.
“Oh, this is a ‘Let’s get out the popcorn’ moment for him for sure,” said one ally to the president. “It is for all of us. But no one is loving this more than Biden.”
Robert Wolf, the major Democratic donor who served as the chairman and CEO of UBS Americas, added that Biden has earned this moment.
“It’s gonna be a bit of a food fight and he deserves to enjoy it, period,” Wolf said on Friday. “He’s got an extra hop in his step, and now he’s going to watch a Republican primary that’s going to be insane.”
The simmering battle between Trump and DeSantis spilled out into the open before Election Day, largely because of the former president.
Trump first swiped at the Florida governor during a rally last weekend in Pennsylvania, mocking him as “Ron DeSanctimonious.”
While the attack fell flat with many conservatives, who viewed it as petty with DeSantis running for reelection in a contest days later, Trump has only upped the ante since DeSantis’s huge victory over Democratic former Gov. Charlie Crist.
Trump has suggested DeSantis was ungrateful for the former president’s support in 2018 and has indicated he might share unflattering information about the Florida governor if DeSantis tried to primary Trump.
DeSantis has not publicly responded to any of Trump’s musings, but discord among the potential 2024 GOP candidates is welcome news for Biden, who was already enjoying the fruits of a better-than-expected showing for Democrats in the midterm elections.
One Democratic strategist who worked on midterm races called the GOP infighting the “icing on the cake” after the midterms. The strategist also said it will take some of the pressure off Biden to immediately announce his own plans for 2024.
Susan Del Percio, the longtime Republican strategist who opposes Trump, said the Republican spat takes the spotlight off of Biden ahead of a lame-duck congressional session where Democrats could check a few boxes legislatively.
At the same time, she said, it’s a moment for Biden to have a quiet laugh.
“You guys have made me miserable. Hahaha. Now go have at it,” she said of what the president must be thinking.
Biden has spent much of the past couple of years using Trump as a foil. But more recently —particularly as he campaigned in Florida ahead of the midterms — he has increasingly thrown DeSantis into the mix.
The president and his team have sparred with DeSantis throughout the past year, trading barbs over the Florida governor outlawing mask mandates in the state, signing legislation barring talk of sexuality and gender identity in the classroom and putting migrants on flights from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard.
After it was reported DeSantis would send migrants to Biden’s home state of Delaware, the president quipped that DeSantis “should come visit.”
Anita Dunn, a top White House adviser, said at an event last week that DeSantis was a “divider” who sees the world differently from Biden.
But as Trump has emerged as the most outspoken critic of DeSantis, Republicans are sounding the alarm that any feud will only serve to benefit Democrats, especially as the party looks ahead to a Dec. 6 Senate runoff election in Georgia that could determine which party controls the chamber.
All week, Democrats were feeling increasingly energized by the brewing spat between Trump and DeSantis.
“Oh yes, Florida Man 1 and Florida Man 2 having foreplay — of course you’ll watch,” said Democratic consultant Tracy Sefl. “And you can fairly suspect this ends with them declaring their passionate love.”

Trump and DeSantis are on a 2024 collision course as the Florida governor’s national stock has risen.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Former President Donald Trump publicly attacked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, releasing a rambling statement Thursday blasting the governor he helped make but who is now his chief rival to lead the Republican Party.
Just days before he’ll likely announce he’s running for president, Trump took credit for DeSantis’ success after endorsing him in 2018, belittled him as “average” and accused “Ron DeSanctimonious” of playing games by not announcing his 2024 presidential ambitions.
“He says, ‘I’m only focused on the Governor’s race, I’m not looking into the future.’ Well, in terms of loyalty and class, that’s really not the right answer,” Trump said in a statement and in a post on his social media platform Truth social.
Trump and DeSantis are on a 2024 collision course as the Florida governor’s national stock has risen, an ascent punctuated Tuesday night after DeSantis won reelection in Florida by nearly 20 points and Trump-backed candidates across the country largely underperformed.
DeSantis won Florida by historic margins in what was once the nation’s largest swing state. Conservative media institutions like Fox News have appeared to side with DeSantis, as has the New York Post, a Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid that ran a front page headline calling DeSantis “DeFuture” the day after the election.
“NewsCorp, which is Fox, the Wall Street Journal, and the no longer great New York Post, is all in for Governor Ron DeSanctimonious,” Trump said.
Trump also criticized DeSantis’ hands-off response to the pandemic, one of the governor’s top achievements among conservatives that boosted his national profile.
DeSantis is “an average REPUBLICAN Governor with great Public Relations, who didn’t have to close up his state, but did, unlike other Republican Governors,” Trump wrote.
Trump has taken more subtle shots at DeSantis in recent weeks, including the new nickname. But Thursday night’s statement is a clear escalation of tension between Trump and a governor who increasingly poses a threat to the former president’s White House ambitions.
DeSantis, whose campaign did not return a request seeking comment, has so far not responded publicly to Trump’s chiding.
“I think that Ron is very clearly living rent free in the former president’s head,” said Stephen Lawson, a Georgia-based strategist who was communications director for DeSantis’ successful 2018 run for governor. “Ron has not said a single word and they think smartly that Tuesday’s huge win allows him to just keep talking about his record without having to acknowledge Trump.”
“It’s 1,000 percent the correct move,” Lawson said of DeSantis. “Trump just keeps throwing boomerangs.”
Trump’s most ardent supporters, however, are greeting the escalation with glee, saying that DeSantis deserves Trump’s ire because the governor hasn’t publicly announced his 2024 intentions.
“Sadly, everything President Trump says is true. Ron DeSantis owes his governorship to Donald Trump and challenging him in 2024 would be a treacherous act of disloyalty,” said Roger Stone, a long-time Trump adviser.
Trump’s endorsement played a huge role in DeSantis winning the 2018 GOP primary against former Florida Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam, who was an early favorite. In his statement, the ex-president said he backed DeSantis because he “didn’t know” Putnam. On Thursday night, former Putnam advisers were caught off guard by being roped into the statement, but one said “even at the worst point Adam was not happy, but he never once said a bad thing about Trump.”
There are mixed responses to Trump’s escalation, according to a dozen people in Trump and DeSantis’ orbit. But even those who support the former president say the public criticism of a popular governor coming off a historic win seemed misguided.
“Obviously he is escalating. It is total shots fired,” said a Trump adviser who was granted anonymity to speak freely. “It is not what I would have done if it were totally up to me, but you can’t argue with Donald Trump’s tactics. They work. He is savage but effective. He was never going to stay restrained for long.”
Trump’s broadside comes after a crop of his hand-picked candidates had disappointing midterm showings, possibly upending Republican hopes to retake the Senate and giving the GOP, if they win the House, a much smaller majority than many anticipated. A key race in Georgia between Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Trump-endorsed Republican challenger Herschel Walker is set to go to a runoff as Trump diverts attention with his feud with DeSantis.
Besides DeSantis’ overwhelming win, Florida Republicans won supermajorities in both the House and Senate, giving the governor nearly unchecked power to build and pass a policy platform that will further his national profile ahead of an anticipated 2024 announcement in late spring or summer of 2023.
For Republicans in Florida, Trump’s statement speaks to one thing: desperation.
“He is obviously threatened by a DeSantis presidential run,” said a longtime Florida Republican consultant given anonymity to openly discuss the former president and DeSantis. “And by doing this, I think he will lose a lot of his base support.”

Supporters of Republican gubernatorial candidate for Florida Ron DeSantis cheer during an election night watch party at the Convention Center in Tampa, Florida, on November 8, 2022.
Having predicted last week in this space a seismic shock in the American midterm elections, and no such shock having occurred, I owe an acknowledgment of my mistaken prediction and an updated assessment. Few people are more tiresome or more frequently encountered than those who are fiercely averse to admitting a mistake: I believe in the utility of confession. Though the Democratic Party, between the administration and its leadership of both houses of the Congress produced utterly incompetent government for nearly two years, its leaders have skillfully managed the escape of most of their congressional and gubernatorial candidates from the opprobrium that they have earned. The Republicans are likely to win the House of Representatives and still could either tie or narrowly win control of the Senate, but the Democrats have almost created the impression of a miraculous electoral Dunkirk evacuation from impending disaster. They have used Trump-hate and defamation as a substitute for government for two years, and it largely covered their escape from accountability on Tuesday.
The midterm elections were, unforeseen by me, as much a referendum on Donald Trump as upon President Joe Biden, and the question was particularly confused because of the internecine Republican struggle between Trump and his supporters, those who endorse Trump’s policies but not Trump, and those who still become wobbly at the knees with nostalgia for the Bush-Clinton days when the U.S. government was effectively a grand coalition between both parties with members of both those families alternating for over 30 years in the great offices of American government.
The heavy defeat of the one prominent overtly anti-Trump candidate for serious office on Tuesday, Joseph O’Dea, senatorial candidate in Colorado, illustrates again that Trump is first in the hearts of committed Republicans. But the inability of the Republicans to gain a substantial majority in either house of Congress confirms that his appeal does not go beyond his strenuous adherents, and he repels as many votes as he attracts. In these circumstances, the American system sensibly assured that the Democrats are deprived of their ability to continue to inflict their far left program on the country, and Biden will run out the clock for the next two years as a lame-duck president with the two parties in a state of relative equilibrium.
No one could claim that what occurred on Tuesday was any sort of a vote of confidence for the administration. The polls generally proved quite accurate in predicting election results and there is no reason to doubt that they were also accurate in indicating that three quarters of Americans are dissatisfied with the trajectory of the country and a substantial majority do not approve of the president or the Congress. As the polls also suggest, the majority does not think that Donald Trump is the answer either. The important unambiguously good news is that by far the largest midterm voting turnout in American history has gone off without any complaints or evidence of skulduggery. This, incidentally reduces to utter nonsense all the hysterical bunk about democracy being on the ballot. The so-called Jim Crow voting changes in Georgia have been a huge success.
As persevering readers of this column would know, I have steadily supported Donald Trump because of his policy positions, as well as for reasons of long-standing personal friendship. In policy terms, he was right to oppose illegal immigration, oil imports, and to effectively end unemployment-by incentivizing through the tax system job-creating investment in the low income areas of America, and moving millions of unemployed into the workforce.
He was both right and courageous in resisting the assault upon the oil and gas industries while steadily tightening anti-pollution standards, and he was right to strengthen national defence, toughen sanctions on Iran and North Korea, and make it clear that if necessary the United States would remove the nuclear military capabilities of those countries by conventional military force. He tackled the much-needed reform of the American criminal justice system by greater leniency on first time nonviolent offenders while assisting municipalities in strengthening law enforcement.
In all of the cacophonous debate about threats to democracy, the crowning infamy has been the widespread attempt, jubilantly supported by a distressing number of anti-Trump Republicans, to represent that on January 6, 2021 Trump premeditatedly incited an insurrection, when, in fact, he urged his followers to demonstrate peacefully.
Trump has many foibles as a public personality that are unseemly for the holder of a great office and jangling to the nerves of tasteful people, though his blunt acerbities and jocularities also entertainingly puncture the pomposity of many public officials. His enemies have less integrity, talent, and originality than he does, and many are afflicted by putrefied political ethics. His attempt to elect many proteges and strengthen his control of the Republicans was a bold stroke, but it didn’t succeed, and he was bypassed by his former protégé, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. It is accordingly with regret that I tentatively conclude that it would be better if he passed the baton of his policy innovations and his influence over his huge political following to DeSantis, a rival, who demonstrated on Tuesday by defeating a former governor of his state by 1.5 million votes (about 20 points), a reward for an outstanding term as governor, that he is a worthy continuator of the best aspects of the Trump legacy, but is almost invulnerable to the storm of obloquy that engulfs Trump. Trump was a very competent president and was driven from office unjustly, and the temptations to continue the titanic struggle to regain the presidency are obvious and legitimate. But the national interest as well as his own interest might now be better served by a dignified transition to a proven successor who has many of Trump’s strengths and few of his negative qualities. His enemies have lived on Trump-hate for too long; they should be deprived of this cover and made to pay for their failures. Even more than with most American presidents, history will be much kinder to Donald Trump than his contemporaries have been.

Jordan Peterson and Olivia Wilde are seen in this combination file photo.
Provocateur Jordan Peterson has slammed Meghan Markle as a “sanctimonious, faux compassionate” hypocrite after she called him “crazy” on her saccharine podcast.
Peterson made his comments on Piers Morgan’s show in response to the former Suits actress taking issue with the Canadian academic on her Archetypes show.
She aired a clip of Peterson saying: “I don’t think that men can control crazy women.”
But on Piers Morgan Uncensored, the host asked the author how he felt about being cast as a “villain” in the Megsverse.
Meghan Markle appeared on Deal or No Deal in 2006. PHOTO BY NBC“Her voice drips with the same falsehood that the voice of Kamala Harris drips with,” he told Morgan.“It’s this sanctimonious, faux compassionate, talking down to her audience.”
The former University of Toronto professor got some yuks when he imitated Markle.
He joked: “Trying to be sure that we’re all really on the same compassionate page here and we’re all being victimized by terrible forces that are arrayed against us and none of that’s really fair. It, just grates on me.
“And I do believe that it is the case that it’s very difficult to control female anti-social behaviour often of the type that’s been pilloried as hysterical and I think that there is no shortage of clinical evidence to support precisely that claim.
SOAKED IN SANCTIMONY: Prince Harry (R) and Meghan Markle attend a wheelchair tennis match during the Invictus Games 2017 at Nathan Phillips Square on September 25, 2017 in Toronto. PHOTO BY CHRIS JACKSON /Getty Images“It’s very difficult for women to control female anti-social behaviour and females who are anti-social that feminine pattern is reputation salvaging under the guise of compassionate care and it’s extraordinarily destructive, so I stand by my words.”
Markle joins actress Olivia Wilde in criticizing Peterson, who claimed a toxic character in her Don’t Worry Darling film was based on the author.
“We based that character on this insane man, Jordan Peterson, who is this pseudo-intellectual hero to the incel community,” she told Interview magazine, adding that incels are “disenfranchised, mostly white men who believe they are entitled to sex from women.”
Jordan Peterson came under fire for saying plus-sized SI model Yumi Nu is “not beautiful.” PHOTO BY HANDOUT /SPORTS ILLUSTRATEDShe added: “This guy Jordan Peterson is someone that legitimizes certain aspects of (the incel) movement because he’s a former professor, he’s an author, he wears a suit, so they feel like this is a real philosophy that should be taken seriously.”
But Peterson was brought to tears in an earlier interview with Morgan about Wilde’s statements.
Morgan asked: “This insane man, this pseudo-intellectual hero to the incel community, incel being these weirdo loner men who are despicable in many ways. Is that you? Are you the intellectual hero to these people?”
PODCASTING PLATITUDES: Britain’s Prince Harry’s fiancée US actress Meghan Markle listens to a broadcast through headphones during a visit to Reprezent 107.3FM community radio station in Brixton, south west London on January 9, 2018.
Peterson replied: “Sure, why not. People have been after me for a long time because I have been speaking to young men, what a terrible thing to do.”
Then, breaking down in tears he added: “I thought the marginalized were supposed to have a voice?”

The following report discusses the perverse and massive inefficiency of “sustainable” wind power systems in Germany as they are presently constituted.
Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from eXXpress. The translator’s comments are in square brackets:
Such is the inefficiency of Germany’s wind
Since the energy transition, Germany has relied entirely on renewable energies and has been promoting wind farms throughout the country. However, the operators do not reveal how high the utilization of their systems actually is. A media outlet calculated this and came to a depressing conclusion.
28,000 larger wind turbines are in operation in Germany. No one knows how many of these are profitable. Germany’s operators of wind farms guard their utilization “like a state secret”, writes the NZZ [Neue Zürcher Zeitung]. The Schweizer Tageszeitung therefore examined and calculated the utilization of 18,000 of these systems using a simulation. To do this, they “evaluated hourly weather data over a period of ten years”.
The result is sobering, sometimes even shocking.
All systems can survive only through subsidies
A system is not economical without a certain capacity utilization. According to the head of the Stuttgart Chair for Wind Energy, Po Wen Cheng, a capacity utilization of around 30% is required for this. According to research by the NZZ, just 15% of the systems have a capacity utilization of more than 30%. If one also considered that wind turbines are often switched off because of noise and environmental protection regulations, the proportion would be even lower.
In almost a quarter of the wind turbines examined, the capacity is less than 20%. “Such systems are only viable thanks to the German subsidy system, which also rewards bad locations.” The nationwide average utilization of the wind turbines is just 24%.
Where there is industry, there is no wind
The situation becomes even more worrying when one considers how the wind turbines are distributed geographically. Most electricity is needed where German industry is located. The problem: The wind does not orient itself to the locations of the industry. It blows mainly in the north, which is why the majority — 83% — of the well-utilized wind turbines are located there.
However, industry is located mainly in the Ruhr area and in the southernmost federal states — Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. The power gap is also the greatest in these regions. But the south in particular is extremely windless, which is why the poorly utilized wind turbines are primarily located there. While in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany’s northernmost federal state, the utilization of the wind turbines is an average of 31%, in Baden-Württemberg, where there is little wind, it is only 17%.
Therefore, huge power lines are now being built to transport the electricity to where it is actually needed, reports the NZZ.
There are hardly any investors
Little good can be expected for the future, so Germany’s energy policy promises little hope. By the end of 2023, all Federal States must reserve two PERCENT of their area for wind power — despite these enormous differences. The NZZ doubts that they will find investors for it. Especially in the south, where electricity is needed most urgently, hardly anyone wants to invest. That is not surprising.
Afterword from the translator:
Let me get that straight; 15% of the systems have 30% and 25% have 20% utilization. That’s what I call efficiency. So if you install 1 GW, the result of the 40% of the systems is: 0.15 * 0.3 + 0.25 * 0.2 = 0.045 + 0.05 = 0.095 or approximately 10%.
If the remaining systems deliver the same, then they deliver about 20%. You then get 0.2 GW from 1 GW of installed capacity. And that is supposed to be sustainable? Is that why they are still so hell-bent on the jab in Germany?
And then these bird- and bee- and bat-shredders (wind turbines) also change the local climate because they disturb the western wind flow and therefore more warm and dry winds from the south and Sahara come to Europe. That’s why it’s often warmer in Europe in the summer than in the Canary Islands where a old school friend of mine lives. During the summer he tells family and friends, “If you want to cool off, fly to the Canary Islands.”
The figures given are very optimistic, according to a report from ZDF, the “exploitation of bird- and bat-shredders” should be 10% on the lake and 8% inland. Don’t ask me where they got those figures from; could be from Greta Thunfish or other such exalted Climate EXPERTS.
And then there’s the infrasound of the “bird- and bat-shredder”, which apparently causes cancer. Adolf already knew that when he tried such infrasound weapons out for the “Endsieg”. Infrasound, which we don’t hear, causes tissues to vibrate, and particles that every animal has in its body, damages the DNA of the animal (man is just an animal, too).
Climate experts (not the inexperienced pro-government baby babblers) warned years ago about the negative impact of wind turbines on the climate. Recently, looking at the weather maps, I noticed that Germany is almost always divided in two: A diagonal from the North Sea to Saxony or Thuringia divides the country into rainy and dry areas. No wonder that in the East even the grass does not grow normally and the leaves of the trees hang down as if withered. This is, at least in my humble opinion and how I understand this, due to the wind turbines in the north, which slow down the humid air. And the predicted air flow from the Sahara has now also occurred. But the [stupid people] are happy about the oh-so-beautiful red sunrises or sunsets.
