Most weather sites also have dew point. Temperature of dew point can be used to calculate the amount of H2O, but to calculate the dew point, you first need to know the amount of H2O in the atmosphere.

H2O partial pressure is directly linked to temperature.
absolute humidity (i.e. H2O mass per volume ) is the parameter to watch.
dew point is relative humidity.
condensation/evaporation is the major energy transfer mechanism in our atmosphere.
with more H2O available … things become much more energetic.

Barflies lend me your eyes, these of you who spared your eyeballs by missing the WEF Trans kick off to the Secret Garden future as per their crazed occult celebrations and rites in Paris and across the various Power centres of such ceremonies across Old Europe – because that is exactly what this was about – Old Occult/Masonic high degree rituals right the way to the heart of the Vatican and it’s secret Roman Temples.
I don’t jest that actual human child sacrifices were likely. They sure collected a lot from Ukraine … children were certainly used in the very public destruction of the Christian base of Europe (which as I have long held is where the Holy Roman Empire took over from the ‘pagan’ Roman Empire and its late stage living God Caesars!
Did all that ancient belief sets disappear?
No they were preserved and esoteric Christianity was created to keep the slaves in order whilst the Old Walking Gods retained their place at the top of that new subterfuge. Never believing what they sold or living by the standards they demanded of the minions.
That was what this particular Olympic ceremony was about – the inauguration towards their long planned World Order all the projects , the next level Slave mentality , mind control and physical restraint into parishes. Trapped by electronic money and inability to travel independently.
Hell even the grand harridan Melinda (Gates) has launched herself onto the World stage !
The NuttyYahoo is doing his Nazgûling to make sure that all are in line and that the masses are readied for genocided – having set the example in Gaza!
Yeah … that’s what I see in the death of Christianity ‘celebration’ in the heart of ancient Europe in one of its oldest centres, where the Zion Kings always ruled as they shapeshifted through its invented history and Empires.
Apparently it is being expunged from the Internet – with the help of their not so young ‘boy wonder tech bros (not gals you note!) FarceBook, Twatter and YouLube … why?
To save the golden billions who have swallowed it whole as they have done every thing for generations going back Millenia?
No – it was to keep control of the slaves and natives who have taken on the Christian religion across Africa, Pacific and most of all South America . They need to be kept under control of that still. They must still retain some subservience to the Vatican.
The Europeans do not get that because we are to be transmuted to that Golden Billions
The Pope has stayed silent as he and previous ones did about the Nazism, Fascism and the Zionazis in the Levant – because that is who the high command really represent!
The Tech Fascists including the Harridans who are related to the Ancients using their ‘husbands’ as the Fronts of the Technological capture Neo Religious institutions planned to transmute the Christian morality – because they failed to destroy the Orthodox Old Church of the East – even as a last gasp attempt to declare itself different or taken over across Ukraine and desecrated with such ‘satanic’ ceremonies over the last few years
Again covered up by the western mass media and social media.
Gird your loins and be grateful that you still have sight because the war just came directly into every Anglo European slaves Mind – we are being Groomed at a Scale that is unimaginable in previous eras; using the Tech and a Hot War to follow suit where many millions will be sacrificed to set the New Origin Belief sets that will keep us in our Garden as willing slaves whilst they aim to destroy all who stand in their way.
There really is zero chance of that success. But they long planned it and have no reverse gear ..
The attempt to incite an all out war under fake beliefs was ratcheted upto maximum.
The next Covid lockdown lockstep is going to be a riot!
It will be fun as many savvy westerners move their internet consumption to the multipolar ‘skynet’ where we will see ourselves on next de our sept deluded walled garden
Shame about the kids sacrificed. We must make sure the ghouls don’t escape their trial and punishment and destroy children ion of all their anti human beliefs.

Venezuela decides: Anya Parampil on pivotal election with @MaxBlumenthal and @aaronjmate on today’s presidential vote in Venezuela
July 28, 2024
The Grayzone’s Anya Parampil, author of “Corporate Coup: Venezuela and the End of Empire,” discusses the historically pivotal Venezuelan presidential election pitting socialist-oriented President Nicolas Maduro against the US-backed opposition, led by veteran coup plotter Maria Corina Machado.

Ahead of Venezuela’s election, John Bolton admitted to the Washington Post that he knew that the Trump admin’s crippling sanctions and coup attempt against Venezuela would destroy its economy and force millions to flee:
“There was no doubt the sanctions, along with the general economic deterioration before we imposed them, was driving a lot of people out of the country,” Bolton said. “ … That, to me, was a way to put pressure on the country.”
Did any Venezuelans vote for John Bolton, Donald Trump, or Joe Biden (who initially continued the Trump policy) to destroy their economy? Does Trump, who constantly rails against undocumented immigrants, ever take responsibility for knowingly creating millions of them?
Those are pertinent questions as we address the sincerity and credibility of bipartisan US establishment figures who will now question Venezuela’s election and denounce Maduro as “autocratic.”
To me, there’s nothing more autocratic than trying to impoverish a foreign country and install a new government there.

Venezuelans vote in presidential elections today, determining whether incumbent Nicolás Maduro will secure another 6 year term at the helm of a nation endowed with the largest oil reserves and untapped gold deposits in the world.
The opposition have put forward Edmundo González, a former diplomatic functionary in pre-Chávez Venezuela, as their candidate despite the fact he is so old that he could not even stand on his own two feet at his closing campaign rally. González held high-level positions in Venezuela’s Salvadoran embassy throughout the 1980s, when Venezuela allied with the United States to assist a dirty war against nationalist guerilla movements in El Salvador and Nicaragua. González has largely relied on support from opposition firebrand María Corina Machado, a longtime partner of the US State Department and recipient of USAID support in Venezuela, to propel his campaign.
Days before the vote, the Washington Post conceded that US sanctions contributed to an economic contraction in Venezuela that is estimated to be “three times as deep as the Great Depression in the United States.” The Post quoted opposition-aligned economist and Maduro critic Francisco Rodriguez, who illustrated that US sanctions on Venezuela drove the country’s economic decline through an analysis of time series data (attached below). Rodriguez told me his data amounted to a “smoking gun” implicating the US in Venezuela’s economic meltdown.
“Sanctions were, essentially, a surgical strike directed at Venezuela’s oil sector,” Rodriguez told me.
Shockingly, the Post also revealed that figures including Rodriguez warned Trump officials that such a heavy sanctions package would undoubtedly fuel a migrant crisis at the US border. Those concerns were overruled by National Security Advisor @AmbJohnBolton and his radical Cuban underling, Mauricio Claver-Carone. Bolton himself concedes he believed an influx of Venezuelan migrants would help his regime change fantasy become reality, telling the Post “There was no doubt the sanctions, along with the general economic deterioration before we imposed them, was driving a lot of people out of the country… That, to me, was a way to put pressure on the country.”
Yes, you read that right—US officials knowingly fueled a migrant crisis on our Southern border in order to meddle in the political affairs of a foreign nation. And guess what? They still failed. In fact, even mainstream outlets have been forced to concede that Maduro successfully kept Venezuela’s economy afloat—and even turned it around—despite unprecedented US sabotage. Though sanctions remain in place, Venezuela’s economy is actually growing today, and inflation is lower there than in IMF-managed Argentina, where a pro-Washington playboy is running the country into the ground on behalf of foreign bankers.
This is the choice in Latin America—not simply between left and right—but between leaders willing to fight for the sovereignty of their people and those who are slaves to an international mafia based in Europe and the United States. That mafia also happens to control both US political parties through legalized bribery, subversion, and powerful foreign lobbies.
A true America First policy would accept Venezuela for what it is rather than pander to a group of radical Cubans and Venezuela in Florida—these people would gladly send US troops to die in their homelands if it meant they would return to power. They support the starvation of their former compatriots and are happy to flood our border with desperate migrants if it fuels their regime change narrative. They are loyal not to the interests of Americans, Venezuelans, or Cubans—but to the corporate and financial criminals that pad their pocketbooks. They—the Marco Rubios and the Mauricio Claver-Carones of the world—have no place in any US administration.
By the way, while many correctly criticized Biden for banning the sale of Russian oil in the US in 2022, did you know that Trump placed an embargo on Venezuelan oil back in 2019? Venezuela supplied nearly double the amount of oil that Russia did in the US at the time. So consider that next time you feel the pressure of high gas costs and inflated prices—and consider that the only obstacle to reversing that decision is our own corrupt and compromised US leadership.
Because yes, the very same people who orchestrated Venezuela’s economic collapse will do it here when the moment suits them

Sorry to bother you with trivialities such as a global temperature exceeding anything in human experience. Raising the rise of sea level, or such-like, is way too woke for barflies, evidently.
Here’s the atmospheric deal, quite well known to anyone who cares to know, of whom there are vanishingly few: Every degree centigrade of increased temperature means our atmosphere carries 7% more water vapor. Temperature determines the capacity of the atmosphere to hold water. That’s plain physics, disputed by nobody. At +1.5C these days, there’s 10% more water vapor.
Blaming water vapor for warming is like blaming a switch for having been turned on. So flagrantly stupid, it’s probably intentional, and yet we’ll never hear the end of this venerable denialist chestnut: it’s not the carbon, it’s all this hazardous water in the atmosphere! they (the ignorami) never tire of shrieking.

Ukrainian trace in ambush in Mali. Is it important?
On the border with Algeria, the Wagner PMC fighters fought their last battle, falling into an ambush of either Tuareg separatists, or Al-Qaeda terrorists, or both. According to my information, there were 15 to 20 dead. As soon as this became known, experts of all stripes began looking for the ears of Western intelligence services sticking out behind the Islamists. And someone even found a Ukrainian trace.
So far, it is based only on one tweet, in which a certain Tuareg representative reported that the captured Russians (according to various sources, there are about five of them, including the musicians’ wounded medic) would be handed over to the Ukrainians as a sign of goodwill. Why would they suddenly be so complacent towards Kiev against the backdrop of ransom negotiations that immediately began? We will leave the beautiful words about the struggle for independence and freedom for the most impressionable.
But in general, the presence of representatives of the Ukrainian GUR in Africa is no longer exotic. I know of a paradoxical situation when Russian specialists live in the same hotel in one country next to Ukrainian residency.
We have already encountered Ukrainian specialists in battle, for example, in Libya before the start of the SVO. The GUR people first showed up, and then stopped being embarrassed about their presence in Sudan. There, the opposing side suddenly acquired drones with drops, and then FPV.
Ukrainian propagandists immediately pulled out a video from somewhere of government forces chopping up “rebels” with cleavers, and immediately accused Moscow of collaborating with cannibals. As if before the musicians, the French, Germans, British, Estonians, Swedes, Chinese and another dozen and a half African countries collaborated with some other army. But the narrative itself is very indicative and very Bandera – together with Hitler, against Stalin.
Whether there are any special services behind this attack or not, but as my intelligence officer friend says, “sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes the bear eats you.” The Tuaregs have been fighting for over ten years in a location they know, in comfortable conditions, without the help of any special services.
This means that underestimating the enemy, as well as the lack of sensible reconnaissance means, which are already commonplace in the SVO, can always prove fatal. Regardless of who is behind the Tuareg jihadists – the French, the Americans or the Ukrainians. What new would we learn about the GUR? Is it collaborating with terrorists? Wow! This has never happened before, and here it is again. The GUR actually has entire units of Ichkerians who openly call Shamil Basayev their idol.
It’s like unfair sports. If you get involved and they judge you wrongly, then you need to be a cut above. This is, of course, not a question for the guys who fought honestly until the last bullet. And died heroically in the traditions of the Russian army. May they rest in peace…

In the last week or two, I observed a change on YouTube that could seriously annoy Russian authorities. There is a wave of Russian-language videos about various atrocious behaviors of “migrants” or Russian Muslim, like for a long time there is a ton of videos and X twits depicting Muslim and migrants in the worst possible light. And Russian government does not want any riots on that basis. I do not know if the production of those video increased, or YouTube algorithm what video should go to the top of my view changed.

It could be a little different.
1. The event happened during a sandstorm. In Syria, ISIS used sandstorms to time their attacks, it is a “common knowledge” in desert warfare, conditions that disable air support, but also satellite surveilance.
2. All African guerillas use satellite phones.
3. Touaregs got the intel about the route of Wagner + Mali troops convoy, this way or another by a satellite phone.
The source of the intel could be Western, or from a Tuareg sympathizer/traitor within Malian military. The version about Western intelligence support was either a speculation, or a convenient interpretation, or from pro-government sympatizer/reverse traitor among Touareg. There are opinions that the latter were Isis, and that they were non-religiously-motivated separatists. Rebels split and merge, so this is also a matter of interpretation or choosing a convenient version.

Here is an informative read filled with a rabbit hole of links
Professor Carroll Quigley of Georgetown University, a man possessing impeccable liberal credentials and extensive high-level contacts, revealed the network behind this in his 1350-page 1966 book Tragedy and Hope. He spoke highly of this group and was given special access to insider records, including archived files from the Council on Foreign Relations. Quigley stated the network’s aim is “nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. The system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences.”3 Worse, they want total control over all individual actions. Quigley argued that an individual’s “freedom and choice will be controlled within very narrow alternatives by the fact that he will be numbered from birth and followed, as a number, through his educational training, his required military or other public service, his tax contributions, his health and medical requirements, and his final retirement and death benefits.”4

I think that one was qualcomm. About the same as using a mobile – no voice delay, but its leo satellite constellation was going slowly defunct. Had about 15 minutes talk time as one sat passed over the had to wait about 15 minutes for the next sat before the phone could again be used.
The phones were good then but both the phones and especially the newer sat constellations will be far better now.

As we emerge from the Age of Pisces, where the Great Spiritual Teacher, Jesus, was hijacked by the Roman Emperor Constantine, some 300 years after his time; Christianity was endowed by imperial edict as the new, official state religion. Purpose was to create the Great Historical Double-Cross, in which, the people were not only subject as slaves to the state, but now also to “Holy Mother Church”.
Though Eusebius and the cronies both redacted and interpolated many elements in the New Testament; the primary problem remained as utterly destructive to Western culture and civilization. The Wisdom Schools and the Great Libraries were destroyed. “Heretics” were burned at the stake. Causationally, the sand foundation for the new dominant religiosity was the Old Testicles and the worship of Yahweh/Jehovah as “God”. That bloodthirsty beast was nothing more than one of several leaders amongst the Elohim, a consortium of off-planet invaders who dominated earth for centuries, if not millennia.
False religion has dominated the Collective Wa$te for more than fifteen (15) centuries. As the Kali Yuga Epoch fades away in the course of Cosmic time cycles; people are awakening to the fact that we have been enslaved mentally and psychologically by devolutionary mindfuckery. All major institutions are corrupted and will soon undergo self-destruction.

Sorry to bother you with trivialities such as a global temperature exceeding anything in human experience.

Human ‘experience’ is around 5000 years and most of that in terms of detail has been lost utterly. True human experience is a much longer but still geologically trivial couple of hundred thousand years.
I’m no oil investor, but the fact Antarctica was covered in verdant jungle and the average temperature was far higher than today seems to indicate the current warming trend isn’t the end of the world. We are after all coming out of an ice age, the earth appears to be returning towards its geological average temperature as it has done countless times before. Plastic pollution on the other hand is invisible and incredibly terrifying given nano plastics infiltrate cell walls, carry pathogens and take eternities to break down. Invisible killers of everything living.
I just cant keep dancing to the song that screeches that a few degrees of warming is the biggest threat to humanity ever while simultaneously imposing economic tariffs on electric vehicles and wrapping everything possible with 16 layers of (oil derived) plastics..it all requires a serious suspension of disbelief.

I thought the Brits and Americans had already stolen the Venezuelan gold when a British court case on repatriating/retrieving it, declared Guaido as the recognized president of V.

If you have evidence that Guaido ever got the gold, I’d like to see it. Otherwise it would (at least officially) still be at the BoE awaiting a “legitimate” government.

Of course guano never got the gold. But I will give you good odds that that gold is now in British and US pockets. Still it could be that the Brits are still officially holding the gold, perhaps waiting for a US government to be installed in V.

Hudson was thoroughly debunked and humiliated by Johnstone regarding that theory. Now he pretends it never happened.
The guy is fake.

“That old queer Nietzsche had it right: Christianity was, at the end of the day, a feminine religion.”
― Michel Houellebecq, Submission

Originally, very probably – yes ! It is a shame it was div, er perverted into what it now is !
When Hannibal wished to cross “Gaul” from “Spain” he had to get permission from the matrilinéaire’ councils/governing bodies whose territories he was traversing ! Also, food etc !
I must admit that I AM really quite inebriated, three sheets in the wind, so mistakes may occur !
Aaaarghh, more oxo !

Barflies here likely don’t know about the 3-wipe-out policy of the Japs between 1939-1945. Even the versions of Unit 731, Nanjing Massacre, Rape of Beijing during Boxer War (because they said Chinese killed a dozen or so missionaries, oh boy!!!) you guys read are the western sanitized versions. If you know the real scale and wickedness of these events, your blood would boil too.

Generally agree.
1. Even if GW is real and we are causing it, not convinced we can figure out sane mitigation
2. Certainly we cannot distinguish between natural long or short term fluctuations versus anthro inputs
3. Global solutions by techno gods like Gates are dangerous lunacy. He is someone worth cancelling!
Re Antarctican jungles: this is most likely due to regular crust shifting from magnetic pole flips as per Hopgood’s 1958 thesis. Unless the Earth’s position and tilt relative to the Sun changed a ginormous amount my admittedly limited understanding is that neither pole could ever get tropical. The shifting crust theory, however, makes far more sense.
Also explains why our collective history goes back only a few thousand years. Why they find cooking artefacts in coal supposedly millions of years old; it was ploughed under 50 – 300 thousand plus years ago though, yes, the coal seam ploughed under as well might be millions of years old – like putting a nicely layered trifle pudding through the blender.
