Today's Must-Reads - 10 November 2022, Zelensky gets an Oscar & Lawyer collapses during Emergency Act Inquiry
A selection of the latest news, studies, reports and articles
I spend a lot of time each day gathering together new information and interesting articles. I then pick one or two of the most interesting topics and write about them. However, that leaves a lot of missed out information that I’m not sharing.
Below is a summary of all the latest articles and information that I’ve found. Today, this is a slimmed down version for all subscribers but will be for paid subscribers only a lot of the time in the future.
Please consider taking out a paid subscription because it enables me to spend longer reporting on the news that isn’t, but should be reported.
But first a quick look at lawyer, Gabriel Poliquin, collapsing during a Canadian public inquiry into the use of the Emergencies Act. Whilst I don’t usually like to post things about individuals getting hurt or dying, the speed of the lawyer, representing the Public Order Emergency Commission, going from absolutely normal to collapsing is worrying and something that is being seen more often nowadays. His condition is still unclear.
And then there is Zelensky getting an Oscar!

Zelensky getting an Oscar is appropriate.
Good pointer to the Spectator artilcle on the real cost of renewable energy, which gets lost in the greenwash. As Richard Heinberg writes, the question is 'what kind of society can we have with renewable energy?' Answer: nothing like the existing one. We really are in a pickle, as Fast Eddy and others pointed out. Michael Moore's film Planet of the Humans was another call out that people didn't want to hear. Please also continue to alert people to the false CO2 narrative and the false net zero narrative.
