Allah's Willing Executioners

by Mark Keenan 

The environmental movement used to be about protecting nature: clean rivers, clean air, fewer toxic chemicals and less destruction of the countryside. Now we are apparently going to save nature by digging up enormous quantities of it.

As the Trump administration reverses elements of the previous administration’s wind and solar policies, perhaps Americans should ask a question that has been strangely absent from the energy debate: Just how “green” is green energy?

The “green transition” requires an enormous expansion of mines, mineral-processing plants, battery factories, transmission lines, solar farms, wind farms, and an extraordinary amount of industrial machinery. Much of that machinery still runs on fossil fuels and most likely will continue to do so. There is no energy system without materials. Furthermore, these developments have environmental consequences of their own.

Welcome to the green-energy paradox: industrialize nature in order to save it.

Solar Panels Don’t Grow on Trees

A solar panel looks wonderfully clean once it has been installed in a field. No chimney. No smoke. No coal truck arriving at the gate.

Unfortunately, solar panels do not grow in fields.

Solar technologies require materials including aluminum, silicon, silver, gallium, indium and tellurium. These materials must be mined, processed, refined, transported and manufactured into equipment. Mining requires enormous quantities of heavy machinery, much of it diesel-powered.

Mineral processing and refining can also be extremely energy-intensive, while ores, metals and finished components travel through international supply chains heavily dependent on ships and trucks.

Here we encounter the first irony of the “fossil-fuel-free” future: it takes enormous quantities of fossil fuels to build it.

The green economy, it turns out, is not floating somewhere above the fossil-fuel industrial economy: It is built by it. The supposedly clean, post-industrial green economy turns out to be extraordinarily industrial.

I am not opposed to mining or industry. Modern civilization obviously needs both. What I object to is the marketing trick whereby one enormous industrial system is described as “dirty,” while another enormous industrial system is painted green and presented as if it descended from heaven on a leaf.

The issue is honesty. Renewable-energy infrastructure does not exist outside the vast energy-intensive industrial system required to build it.

Then there is the land. Utility-scale solar requires large areas because sunlight is diffuse. Add access roads, substations, and transmission infrastructure, and eventual disposal or recycling of equipment, and the physical footprint grows further.

Environmental damage does not cease to exist merely because it happens somewhere beyond the photograph on the renewable-energy brochure.

And What If The Premise Is Wrong?

The public is routinely given the impression that virtually every qualified scientist agrees that human CO₂ emissions constitute a climate emergency. Yet the World Climate Declaration organized by CLINTEL has attracted more than 2,000 scientists and professional signatories who reject the claim of a CO₂-induced climate emergency. I am one of its signatories.

I examine that scientific dispute in detail in my book Climate CO2 Hoax – How Bankers Hijacked the Environment Movement. The relevant point here is the extraordinary paradox: governments are undertaking a vast reconstruction of modern energy and transportation systems while the climatic premise used to justify it remains disputed.

Wind Power Has a Big Material Footprint Too

Wind has the same material usage problem — only on an enormous physical scale.

The late Cambridge engineering professor David MacKay, who served as Chief Scientific Adviser at the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change, calculated that producing about 50 kWh per person per day from British offshore wind would require wind farms occupying a sea area roughly twice the size of Wales.

That means enormous quantities of turbines, foundations, steel, concrete, copper, substations and transmission infrastructure — before dealing with intermittency, storage, backup generation and grid balancing.

The wind may be renewable. The steel, concrete, copper, mines and factories are not.

That is the green-energy paradox: technologies promoted to protect nature require the industrialization of vast areas of land and sea.

The Electric-Car Magic Trick

Electric cars provide perhaps the clearest example of green marketing. Look at the car, and there is no exhaust pipe. Wonderful: zero emissions.

Now move the camera backward.

There is the lithium mine. The nickel. The cobalt. The graphite. The steel and aluminum. The battery factory. The charging network. The expanded electrical grid. And somewhere, of course, the power station generating the electricity (and that is most likely to be a fossil fuel power station).

The emissions and environmental costs have not magically vanished. Much of the activity has simply moved somewhere else.

Replacing hundreds of millions of conventional automobiles with electric vehicles therefore requires an enormous industrial reconstruction involving mines, battery factories, charging stations and expanded electrical grids. Again this entire cycle is heavily dependent on fossil fuel use.

This doesn’t mean that electric vehicles have no advantages. It means that calling them simply “zero emission” or “green” tells only a fraction of the environmental story.

And Then There Is Artificial Intelligence

Perhaps the funniest contradiction belongs to artificial intelligence.

AI systems are very good at reminding humanity about the dangers of CO₂ emissions. There is just one small problem: AI is ravenously hungry for electricity.

Data centers consumed roughly 415 TWh of electricity worldwide in 2024, according to the International Energy Agency, and consumption could more than double to around 945 TWh by 2030, with AI the main driver of that growth.

The majority of that electricity comes from coal and natural gas. So worldwide fossil-fuel power stations are generating electricity for giant data centers so that an AI chatbot can explain to you why humanity urgently needs to stop burning fossil fuels.

You couldn’t make it up.

When “Green” Becomes a Marketing Label

This is what happens when environmentalism is reduced largely to carbon accounting. Mines, habitat destruction, water consumption, transmission corridors and millions of tons of industrial equipment can all acquire the magic label “green” if the spreadsheet says they reduce CO₂ somewhere else.

I spent part of my professional career working on environmental issues in government and at the United Nations. I have no desire to see polluted rivers, poisoned land, or filthy air.

But somewhere along the way, protecting nature became synonymous with reducing carbon emissions. They are not the same thing.

The technology advertised as saving nature requires mines, diesel machinery, steel, concrete, factories, transmission systems, and huge areas of land.

Real environmental accounting should examine the whole lifecycle: mining, manufacturing, energy consumption, pollution, land, water, transportation, reliability, recycling and disposal. There should be no environmentally sacred technologies.

This broader distinction between carbon accounting and genuine environmental protection is something I examine in more detail in my book Transcending the Climate Deception – Toward Real Sustainability.

If an oil well deserves scrutiny, scrutinize it. If a solar farm, wind farm, or battery factory deserves scrutiny, scrutinize that too.

Which is precisely why I find the modern definition of “green” so peculiar.

Protecting nature cannot simply mean moving environmental damage from the exhaust pipe to the lithium mine, from the power station to the mineral-processing plant, or from one landscape to another.

If saving nature requires destroying nature on an industrial scale, perhaps the first thing that needs recycling is our definition of environmentalism.

The UK is being invaded on a massive scale by so-called ‘small boats’, some carrying as many as 100 invaders, large numbers of them coming out of Muslim terror states, especially Afghanistan, even while Labour leaders, the media and activists insist they’re fleeing oppression.

Now a whistleblower has come forward to reveal that 99% of the asylum claims are fake.

The Home Office official, who has worked for years as a decision-maker on asylum and has assessed thousands of claims, said asylum seekers from certain countries use the “same script” in what he and colleagues describe as “package claims”.

He said: “At best 1 per cent of asylum seekers are genuine. There’s almost no aspect of the asylum system that isn’t either a massive fraud or just really dysfunctional. Nothing works as it should.”

He said the culture within Home Office teams created an inherent bias towards accepting claims. An asylum decision-maker must grant the claim if they believe the claimant is “more likely than not” telling the truth. Approving an asylum claim takes “half an hour tops”, while rejections can take many hours.

J said he and colleagues had encountered “hundreds” of claims from Pakistani asylum seekers claiming to have the same boyfriend, who had provided letters supporting their claims to be gay men. He said: “He’s provided hundreds upon hundreds of very obviously fake letters of support.”

He said claims from Pakistani men claiming to be gay also featured photographs from the same east London gay venue, Legs 800 Club, which closed permanently last year. “You get these photographs and there would be ten Pakistani guys all standing there topless in the club with their arms around each other taking pictures to try and prove they’re gay.”

These are clumsy lies and the decision by Labour governments to sign off on the lies is a choice. A choice to enable the invasion to continue.

NCF Senior Fellow Emma Trimble joins Talk TV to discuss bankrupt Birmingham Council’s decision to spend millions removing English and British flags from the city’s streets. Plus are the Dover protests a sign of things to come?

Germany’s “far-right” party AfD is set for a major victory in a crucial German state elction, according to exit polls, putting it well ahead of the mainstream parties.

It remains unclear whether the result in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt will be enough for the AfD to form a government, although the party says voters have given it a mandate to govern.

With full results expected tomorrow, the AfD is projected to win between 44 per cent and 44.5 per cent of the vote, comfortably ahead of the conservative CDU, which is forecast to take around 18.5 per cent.

The AfD has described the result as a “historic outcome”, with its influential state leader, Ulrich Siegmund, also refusing to rule out governing alone or in partnership with other parties.

No “far-right” party has taken control of a German state since the Second World War.

A government led by the AfD at state level would give the party significant influence over areas including policing, education and culture.

Saxony-Anhalt has a population of around 2.1 million.

Germany’s domestic intelligence agency classifies the state’s AfD branch as “far-right extremist”, a designation rejected by Siegmund.

The projected result is significantly higher than earlier opinion polls had indicated.

However, the AfD’s ability to govern will depend on which smaller parties manage to enter the state parliament, and how the seats are ultimately distributed.

A key factor could be whether any of the smaller parties cross the 5 per cent electoral threshold.

If one or more fail to do so, the AfD could benefit from the resulting distribution of seats, and potentially move closer to securing a majority.

The party’s victory in the election for the state government represents a historic shift in German politics after years of cooperation between the other parties to keep the hard right out of power.

The AfD seeks to restrict immigration, quit the Euro and restore ties with Russia as most of Europe rallies around Ukraine.

Siegmund said that he was open to work with partners following the exit poll results.

He said: “We extend a hand to all democratic forces that wish to pursue better policies”.

However, the state leader added that topics including migration and domestic security were “non-negotiable”.

This win is the biggest achievement in the party’s 13-year history, at a time of widespread discontent with an unpopular national government that has yet to persuade voters it can get the country’s sluggish economy moving.

Victory for the AfD is also a symbolic blow to the CDU – a centre-right party which has led Saxony-Anhalt for 24 years.

The parents of her Muslim pupils regard their new homeland as a “hostile Christian country”, view Christians as “infidels” and therefore wish to remain in “their” neighbourhoods – the well-known Viennese teacher Susanne Wiesinger speaks openly about the current undesirable developments resulting from uncontrolled immigration.

Susanne Wiesinger, a Viennese teacher and author, has recently described in the newspaper Kleine Zeitung a school day in which learning to read, write and do arithmetic is often overshadowed by serious conflicts. Her assessment: Anyone who continues to gloss over the integration problems at high-risk schools is heading towards segregated neighbourhoods – towards a ‘self-imposed apartheid’ that nobody wants.

Susanne Wiesinger sparked a wide-ranging and emotionally charged debate as early as 2018 with her book *Kulturkampf im Klassenzimmer* (Culture War in the Classroom); she later served as ombudswoman for values issues at the Ministry of Education. She now teaches at a primary school near Reumannplatz in Vienna’s Favoriten district: according to her, of 250 children, only eight do not have a migrant background. In her new book *Gebt unseren Kindern eine Chance!* (*Give Our Children a Chance!*), she writes that in 2018 she believed things could hardly get any worse. Today, her verdict is: “I was wrong.”

To illustrate the current situation in Vienna’s schools, the teacher gives an example: when first-graders were given counting cubes, many did not know what to do with them. They swiped their fingers across the box – as if it were a smartphone – and waited. In the past, Wiesinger says, children would have emptied the cubes straight away and started playing. The contrast is shocking. At the same time, she explains, up to 70 per cent of lesson time is lost to defusing conflicts. Even a bump against a pencil case or a glance can provoke an argument. Added to this are clashes between ethnic groups, which are carried over into the school from families and communities.

A lack of German language skills exacerbates the problem, says Wiesinger: Some children can technically decipher words but do not understand their meaning; she therefore works with pictures and gestures. The Viennese teacher would therefore be in favour of a compulsory, enforceable assessment of language skills as early as the age of three – and, at the same time, significantly more funding for nurseries. Nursery teachers are poorly paid, have class sizes that are too large and receive too little recognition.

The latest figures underscore the urgency of reform: in Vienna’s primary schools, 39 per cent of pupils are Muslim, whilst in secondary schools the figure stands at 49 per cent. In the Favoriten district, 74 per cent of pupils are from foreign backgrounds. Vienna recently sent 1,700 children starting school to German language support courses.

Discussions between teachers and pupils’ parents are particularly sensitive: alongside language barriers, Wiesinger describes a fundamental conflict over identity. Many strictly religious families define themselves through their faith, their customs and their clans. They do not want their children to stray from this way of life. To them, Austria appears to be a ‘culture of infidels’, a ‘hostile Christian country’. That is why, according to Wiesinger, they remain in ‘their’ neighbourhoods – whilst other immigrant groups integrate much more successfully. The problem, Wiesinger says, lies primarily with strictly Muslim communities. The teacher also mentions the issue of patriarchal patterns: in cases of brawls and serious verbal abuse, it is predominantly boys who are involved.

Despite the fact that the track record is not exactly positive, Susanne Wiesinger does not consider the future to be lost: giving up would mean allowing neighbourhoods to develop “around which fences would one day have to be erected”. What is needed, she says, is a long-term plan for Austria as a country of immigration – ideally one that transcends party lines.

Thousands of far-left Antifa activists took to the streets of the German city of Halle on Saturday ahead of an expected historic victory for the anti-mass migration Alternative for Germany party in a state election.

Panic appears to be setting in as voters head to the polls on Sunday in Saxony-Anhalt amid the prospect of the AfD taking control of a state government for the first time in the populist-nationalist party’s 13-year history.

According to Tagesschau, some 26 protests were registered to be held across the state over the weekend. This included some 2,500 who joined an Antifa rally in the city of Halle on Saturday evening, local police said.

Participants of the “Stay anti-fascist!” demonstration were seen wearing black bloc clothing with masks, while carrying the Antifa and LGBT flags. Others were seen carrying placards reading “FCK NZS” and “FCK AFD”.

A further 15,000 people were estimated to have joined a so-called pro-democracy festival in the state capital of Magdeburg on Saturday, organised by the “Saxony-Anhalt Open to the World” alliance.

However, it is unclear exactly how organic such demonstrations were, with MDR reporting that, rather than being a purely local outpouring, demonstrators came from cities across Germany, including Leipzig, Dresden, Jena, and Berlin.

The leftist protests come as the Alternative for Germany (AfD) is set for one of its most significant victories since its formation in 2013. Polling ahead of Sunday’s vote in Saxony-Anhalt projected the party to win between 41 and 43 per cent of the vote.

This would put the party on the precipice of forming a government outright for the first time in its history.

Much will depend on the performance of smaller parties with no prospect of winning the election; however, the proportion of seats allocated will be heavily influenced by the number of parties that secure the five per cent threshold for representation in the state parliament.

Indeed, should the left-wing Social Democrats (SDP) and the far-left Greens clear the threshold, it would likely enable the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz to form a minority government, despite being projected to win only around 20 per cent of the vote on Sunday.

So intent are the supposedly conservative CDU on not working with the AfD that they would likely need to form a government with either the informal support or at least the abstention of Die Linke (The Left), the direct descendant of the governing communist government of East Germany during Soviet control.

Birmingham City Council decided to ban the English flag and the flag of St George. For “public safety”

by Giulio Meotti

As the 25th anniversary of September 11 approaches, Canadian public television has asked newsrooms not to speak of “terrorist attacks.”

In the camp of the Good, the day has now arrived when they criminalize patriotism, an obstacle to building the multicultural dream with eyes wide open.

Welcome to Birmingham, Britain’s second-largest city, for a few months now administered by a Muslim mayor, Zaker Choudhry.

For “public safety,” Birmingham City Council decided to ban the English flag and the flag of St George.

Yes, you read that right. When they want to take a liberty from you they will always invoke your “safety.”

And if your memory is short: the city of Birmingham, again for “public safety,” decided to ban Israeli fans.

And before that it had been Bristol’s turn.

The Green-led city council issued its own fatwa against the English flag to ensure that Bristol remained “welcoming, respectful and safe for everyone during the tournament.”

No flag – but celebrating Ramadan inside one of England’s landmark cathedrals is fine.

If things go badly – and the way they are going – Birmingham is the city where we will all live at the end of the long multicultural night.

A city where fewer than half of residents are now white, one in three is Muslim, the vast majority of social housing has gone to people not born in the United Kingdom, one in seven openly rejects a British or English identity and more than one in five lives in households where the adults do not speak English.

Birmingham spent several million on a project to rename streets to reflect the woke creed, such as “Diversity Grove” or “Equality Road.”

In the city the muezzin calls to prayer. But the flag of St George is a public danger. That is what happens when you lose control of your country.

Muslim children in Birmingham have overtaken Christians.

Churches are becoming mosques.

Imams explain how women are stoned.

And at the university, Jews are no longer welcome: “Death to Zionists.”

“In the working-class neighborhood of Small Heath, 95 percent of the population is Muslim,” Le Figaro reports. “Shops have different closing times corresponding to the daily prayers… Bookshops are religious. Travel agencies guarantee ‘Muslim friendly’ holidays with destinations where clients – especially female clients – are offered access to facilities with single-sex spaces and pools where women can ‘preserve their modesty.’”

Another area is Sparkhill, the Telegraph reports:

“In the last remaining pub in Sparkhill, if the Guinness signs weren’t enough, the gold lettering painted above the door should be: ‘Licensed to sell intoxicating liquor of all kinds.’ Clear, then. ‘There were 23 pubs in Sparkhill and this is the last one left,’ says owner Mark McDwyer. The Salah Al-Shahrazuri mosque is one of five in Sparkhill.”

Today there are more than 200 mosques in Birmingham.

In Birmingham in 2005 there were the first immigration riots in all of Europe.

Today, to temper the effects of the same catastrophe, they ban the flag.

Welcome to the future!

A convicted rapist who claimed he should be allowed to remain in Britain because he is bisexual has lost his latest legal challenge against deportation.

Karam Majdi, 27, was sentenced to seven years in custody after raping a 14-year-old girl he had met online.

An immigration tribunal has now rejected his appeal, concluding that his removal from the UK “was and remains in the public interest”.

Majdi had argued that returning him to Egypt would expose him to persecution because of his alleged bisexuality.

However, Judge R Abdar found that he had failed to establish the claim and concluded that he remained a danger to the community.

“I am satisfied that the appellant has failed to rebut the presumption of the appellant posing a danger to the community,” the judge said, adding: “I am not satisfied that the appellant is bisexual.”

The tribunal also rejected Majdi’s claim that he was Syrian, while questioning the evidence he provided about relationships with men.

The case dates back to 2017, when Majdi was living in a hostel in Hove before travelling to East Croydon, where he attacked the schoolgirl.

During his criminal trial, the court heard that he pinned the teenager down despite her protests.

The victim was left with severe bruising to her thighs, with Majdi held in a youth offender institution and released in 2021 after serving part of his sentence.

He has continued to contest his removal from Britain, claiming that he arrived in the country as an unaccompanied child after allegedly fleeing fighting in Aleppo.

He claimed his identity documents were lost during his journey to the UK by small boat in 2016 and at his latest immigration hearing, the Home Office challenged his account of both his nationality and sexuality.

George Mavrantonis, representing the Home Office, told the tribunal that Majdi’s bisexuality claim had emerged in 2021 and amounted to an attempt to strengthen his asylum case.

The tribunal heard that an earlier professional assessment had led the Government to accept that Majdi was bisexual.

The Home Office later acknowledged that this had been an error and successfully asked for the concession to be withdrawn.

Majdi claimed to have had relationships with two men, but was unable to provide supporting evidence – attributing the absence of photographs or messages to losing his phone SIM card.

The tribunal also heard that he had committed further offences since his release from prison.

In April, he was convicted and fined for cocaine possession, driving without a licence and driving without insurance.

He is also due to appear in court next June over an allegation that he possessed a personal quantity of cannabis.

Majdi represented himself during parts of the hearing after declining to use an interpreter requested by his solicitor.

The tribunal also rejected an application to keep his identity anonymous, following an argument by the Home Office that naming him was justified by the principle of open justice.

A Home Office spokesman said the department would continue efforts to remove Majdi from the UK.

They said: “We will do everything in our power to deport this dangerous criminal and will continue to resist all appeals against his deportation.”

The department said 11,733 foreign criminals, including murderers and rapists, had been removed since the last general election, describing the figure as a 41 per cent increase on the final two years of the previous government.

The Telegraph reported:

“The bucolic setting of Overasselt, eastern Netherlands, was plunged into chaos on Tuesday morning after 32 hooded men, armed with pistols and machine guns, arrived in a convoy of unmarked vans.

Along a road next to a gated estate, the group piled out of their vehicles. Before Berry Leenders, a 51-year-old security guard, had time to react, he had been shot dead. He was guarding the home of Jan G Jr, a 28-year-old convicted drug dealer allegedly responsible for stealing an estimated £160m [$210 Million] worth of cocaine from a rival.”

“Elite officers from the Dienst Speciale Interventies, a tactical police unit reserved for terrorist attacks or handling large-scale public disruption, arrived shortly afterwards.

Officers fired several warning shots, scattering any remaining suspects, before cordoning off the estate and combing the site for evidence.

By Friday morning, the Netherlands National Police Corps had arrested a total of 34 men, and all but three had been charged with the murder or manslaughter, or both, of Mr Leenders.”

RTL reported (translated from the Dutch):

“There are 34 suspects, 32 of whom are still in custody. This concerns sixteen French, eleven Dutch, two Algerians, one Libyan, one Ukrainian and one Belgian.

The arraignment was already ‘a huge challenge’, said deputy chief public prosecutor Monique Vinkesteijn. The arraignments were done by five examining judges. ‘I have not experienced it myself before, so in that respect it is also a special achievement’. The suspects are detained in different locations. That is why part of the arraignments were done via a video link.

Just holding so many suspects requires the necessary organization. That says director Patrick Fluyt of police union ACP. He has been working for the police for 35 years, including as an assistant public prosecutor. In addition, he has also participated in interrogations himself and therefore has a good idea of how such an investigation works.

‘We have different cell blocks in different locations and different houses of detention’, he explains. Moreover, the suspects in this case are only allowed to have contact with their lawyer, as restrictions have been imposed on them.”

Hundreds of men dressed in black and balaclavas descended upon the Port of Dover on Saturday, blocking traffic in an apparent protest against the migrant crisis in the English Channel.

The Port of Dover, which stands as Britain’s main short-sea ferry and freight port on the Channel, also serves as the central hub for illegal boat migrants being brought ashore in England by the Border Force or the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).
Rather than pushing the boats back to the beaches of France, the Border Force typically collects the illegal migrants halfway through the Channel — where they are often escorted to by the French Navy — and ferries them the rest of the way to Dover.

Since the crisis began in earnest around 2019, over 200,000 illegals have successfully reached British territory via the route.

Although crossings have declined this year, over 16,000 more illegals have been brought ashore at Dover since the start of the year.

While the government has claimed that it was a result of its policies, the Migration Observatory notes that it is often “difficult to know what caused changes in small boat arrivals during a specific period” and that weather may have played just as important a role in reducing the flow of migrants across the Channel.

According to the BBC, masked protesters clad in black clothing took to the streets surrounding the port on Saturday, reportedly “blocking all traffic entering the port”.

The public broadcaster said that the protesters refused to speak to the press. However, they were heard chanting “send them back” and “stop the boats”.

Masked men have been pictured on the streets of Dover on Saturday morning.

Kent Police said they have not received any reports of violent incidents and are talking to demonstrators.

Kent Police merely said that they were aware of a protest taking place and that they were ” engaging with protesters”.

The demonstrators drew some support, with veteran street organiser Tommy Robinson describing the balaclava-wearing men as “British patriots” while urging his followers on social media to “get there to support them”.

Others were critical, with Reform UK councillor for Dover West, Paul King, saying that many local women were “frightened by such a large group of men walking up the street” with masks on and that this was not the way to solve the issue.

However, West did say that he understands “why people feel motivated to protest, as this Useless Labour Government has no clue how to stop the boats.”

On Friday, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage signed an agreement with French National Rally leader, committing to sending the migrant boats back to France if both parties come to power, an agreement which has long eluded successive British governments when dealing with the now-outgoing government of President Emmanuel Macron.
