Deep Geothermal — One Renewable Energy Source To Rule Them All?

Imagine, if you will, a decommissioned coal generating station sitting cold and dark. It has a direct connection to the grid, but no electrons flow because burning coal destroys the environment.

But wait! What if, by some alchemy, some magic, a supply of superheated steam that is the correct temperature and pressure to make those old turbines spin again were available?

And what if that steam was heated without any carbon emissions at all by the Earth’s own geothermal energy 12 miles below the surface?

Science fiction? Not according to Paul Woskov, a research engineer at MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center. For the past 14 years, he has been experimenting with a device known as a gyrotron in his research into fusion power. Woskov’s ideas have been adopted by a new MIT spinoff known as Quaise Energy.

CEO Carlos Araque tells Bloomberg, a gyrotron is “a big cousin of the microwave in your kitchen.” It operates using different frequencies than a microwave and is 1,000 times more powerful, but “It’s a fairly mature technology. We just use it for this purpose,” Araque says. What does it do? Well, I am not a physicist nor have I ever played one on TV. But the short answer is, it blasts a hole thorough just about any material you can think of, including the rock in the Earth’s crust that surrounds the mantle.

The crust is from 9 to 12 miles thick — far thicker than any conventional equipment can drill through. Below it is the Earth’s mantle, which varies from 1000º C to 3700º C. Blast a passageway to the mantle, shoot some water down the hole and bazanga! Instant, high pressure steam from a virtually inexhaustible source that could power all of humanity’s energy needs for millions of years. Are you excited yet?

Deep Geothermal Is Closer Than You Think

This new technology isn’t here yet, but it’s not as far away as you might think. “This will happen quickly once we solve the immediate engineering problems of transmitting a clean beam and having it operate at a high energy density without breakdown,” Woskov says. “It’ll go fast because the underlying technology, gyrotrons, are commercially available.”

Turkey committing Terrorist Air Strikes on Rojava, northeast Syria and northern Iraq after ‘False Flag’ Istanbul bomb

Turkey is conducting intense air strikes on Kobani, Shehba, Shengal (Sinjar), Derik regions in Northeast Syria. Qandil and Asos regions in Northern Iraq are targets of the bombings as well.

Last night & this morning, Turkey conducted a series of aerial attacks across NES. So far, 11 civilians have reportedly been killed (1 journalist) and 6 injured (2 journalists). The attacks occurred across US- and Russian-controlled airspace; both likely gave the green light.

Turkish army warplanes launched airstrikes on many settlements in the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI).

The head of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) media centre Farhad Shami announced Turkey’s air strikes on Twitter, saying “Kobane, the city that defeated ISIS, is subjected to bombardment by the aircraft of the Turkish occupation.”

Comment: Turkey needed Russian and US permission to illegally bomb NE Syrian airspace. Yet there is no report of the attacks on Russian RT English News. As for the US they merely warned their citizens 48 hrs before. Turkish’s jets fly from the nearby NATO Incirlik base…. Big fear is if a new ground invasion will begin… go figure!

THE GREAT SLAVE SCAM: G20’s Globalist “Pledge” Commits Us to Vaccine Passports, Digital Currency & Much, Much More

by Kit Knightly via RIELPOLITIK from off-guardian.org/ on Nov 19, 2022 via thefreeonline

“…Oh, a little reminder to those who still believe Russia is fighting the good fight against the globalist baddies in Ukraine – Russia is a member of the G20 and signed the pledge. As did China, along with every other member of BRICS. There are no heroes here, they are all in it together…but their war sure made for a good distraction, didn’t it? Basically, it’s all just confirmation – if confirmation were needed – that the Great Reset is still coming. Even if Covid goes away, the new normal is here to stay. But, of course, that was always the plan”

Thousands Protest Vaccine Passports in London

G20’s globalist “pledge” commits to vaccine passports, digital currency & much, much more

This past week saw G20’s annual meeting taking place in Bali, with the leaders of the world’s 20 largest economies signing a pledge that commits to:

“Reform” food production and distribution
Increase surveillance and censorship of “disinformation” on the internet
Increase global reliance on “renewable” energy sources
Introduce programmable digital currencies
Introduce international digital vaccine passports

BRAVE NEW WORLD: What Is The “Great Reset” And What Do The Globalists Actually Want? – By Brandon Smith

Yes, while everyone was so nicely distracted by the “fall of Kherson” and that missile that allegedly hit Poland, leaders from around the world were gathering in matching shirts and publishing their plans for world government in glossy little ring binders.

We’ve already seen the COP27 focus on “alternative farming” (ie. lab-grown meat and eating insects), but the G20 leader’s declaration is much more ambitious. And we still have the UN Biodiversity Summit to look forward to.

Yes, the creepy global gathering season is really hitting its stride, and the participants are making no secret of their global plans moving forward.

Why the İstanbul explosion looks like another Erdogan false flag operation

Turkish police have arrested a “Syrian national” named Ahlam Albashir, who they claim is responsible for an explosion that killed six people and injured 81 others on İstanbul’s busy İstiklal Street on Nov. 13.

Turkey’s interior minister, Süleyman Soylu, said a day after the attack that the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and its Syrian branch, the People’s Defense Units (YPG), were responsible for the deadly bombing.

The PKK and the YPG have denied any involvement in the attack. A senior Turkish official, meanwhile, told Reuters that Turkish authorities are not ruling out that the attacker has ties to the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

However, this deadly blast, which targeted civilians, was more likely Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s new false flag operation prior to the G-20 summit, which convened in Indonesia earlier this week, to convince world leaders of the need for Turkey to conduct a military operation in northern Syria.

This deadly attack has left many unanswered questions.

Turbo Covid Science.. FTX mega Ponzi robbery disguised as Woke Progressives

Why haven’t crypto scammers thought of this earlier? Why fund lengthy arduous research when you can just pay to get «The Science» you actually want with other people’s money?

The Covid/Crypto Connection: Buying off corrupt US system with -funny money- The Grim depraved Saga of FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried…

Turbo Covid Science by eeffrey A. Tucker

A series of revealing texts and tweets by Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced CEO of FTX, the once high-flying but now belly-up crypto exchange, had the following to say about his image as a do-gooder: it is a “dumb game we woke westerners play where we say all the right shibboleths and so everyone likes us.”

Very interesting. He had the whole game going: a vegan worried about climate change, supports every manner of justice (racial, social, environmental) except that which is coming for him, and shells out millions to worthy charities associated with the left.

He also bought plenty of access and protection in D.C., enough to make his shady company the toast of the town.

As part of the mix, there is this thing called pandemic planning. We should know what that is by now: it means you can’t be in charge of your life because there are bad viruses out there. As bizarre as it seems, and for reasons that are still not entirely clear, favoring lockdowns, masks, and vaccine passports became part of the woke ideological stew.

This is particularly strange because covid restrictions have been proven, over and over, to harm all the groups about whom woke ideology claims to care so deeply. That includes even animal rights: who can forget the Danish mink slaughter of 2020?

Regardless, it’s just true. Masking became a symbol of being a good person, same as vaccinating... None of this has much if anything to do with science or reality.

It’s all tribal symbolism in the name of group political solidarity. And FTX was pretty good at it, throwing around hundreds of millions to prove the company’s loyalty to all the right causes.

Among them included the pandemic-planning racket. That’s right: there were deep connections between FTX and Covid that have been cultivated for two years. Let’s have a look.

Earlier this year, the New York Times trumpeted a study that showed no benefit at all to the use of Ivermectin. It was supposed to be definitive.

The study was funded by FTX. Why? Why was a crypto exchange so interested in the debunking of repurposed drugs in order to drive governments and people into the use of patented pharmaceuticals, even those like Ramdesivir that didn’t actually work? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Regardless, the study and especially the conclusions turned out to be bogus.

David Henderson and Charles Hooper further point out an interesting fact: “Some of the researchers involved in the TOGETHER trial had performed paid services for Pfizer, Merck, Regeneron, and AstraZeneca, all companies involved in developing COVID-19 therapeutics and vaccines that nominally compete with ivermectin.”

For some reason, SBF just knew that he was supposed to oppose repurposed drugs, though he knew nothing about the subject at all.

He was glad to fund a poor study to make it true and the New York Times played its assigned role in the whole performance.

It was just the start.

..System? What system? – ..financial interests converge to Control by a few Empires like BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street..

by Paul Cudenec on Nov 18, 2022 by winter oak via thefreeonline

Its big lie – or Great Narrative if you prefer – has always been that the vile world it has manufactured is inevitable, part of the necessary evolution of human history.

The other day, while out spreading the word in the streets, one of my friends handed some of our dissident literature to a passer-by with the explanation that we were countering the lies of the system.

Although the man in question turned out to be warmly sympathetic to our cause, this remark really stumped him.

“The system?” he asked, with an expression of utter bewilderment clouding his face. “What system?”

Although this may have merely been a case of unfamiliarity with a certain terminology, I like to think that his response revealed the greatest triumph of the odious entity that now controls nearly the whole world and is currently trying to impose its Great Reset on us – it has managed to wrap itself in a cloak of invisibility!

This is not even a question of who exactly is behind all this (though there are some useful pointers here, here, here and here): the root problem is that most people do not even realise that the system exists.

For them, we live in a pluralistic world. Within the framework of something known as democracy, they picture a complex interchange of competing forces and interests resolving themselves in a status quo which we are more or less obliged to go along with.

While this misunderstanding is perhaps forgivable for those whose information comes straight from the corporate mainstream, it is also shared by those who give the impression of knowing better.

I have spoken to self-defined “anti-capitalists” whose view of “capitalism” seems very similar to that of the ruling group they claim to oppose: they see it as an agglomeration of social and economic relationships without any overriding direction or control.

To suggest otherwise, in their eyes, is to commit the grave heresy of spreading conspiracy theory.

Their imagined reality of various independent capitalists struggling against one another in a dog-eat-dog world of rugged competition – and thus being incapable of ganging together to cheat and enslave the rest of us – seems to have survived intact since the mid-1800s, when Karl Marx was formulating his theories.

Anyone paying attention today cannot have failed to have noticed the way that multinational businesses and financial interests have converged to the point that their ownership can be traced back to a handful of concerns like BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street – which themselves appear to be part of the same overall operation.

This same corporate/financial über-entity has also become heavily entwined with – and indeed essentially inseparable from – state bodies and international institutions.

The resulting monster is a self-concealing global public-private governance pulling the strings behind all aspects of our contemporary world.

Once you have seen past the cloak of invisibility and understood that there is such a thing as the system, everything else begins to make sense.
