1. Macron Announces Street Lights Will be Turned Off in Response to Energy Crisis
Despite claiming that “France has little dependence on Russian gas,” President Macron announced that public lighting would be turned off at night to save energy.
Macron made the comments during a televised interview to commemorate Bastille Day.
Asserting that “the summer, early autumn will be very hard” for French people due to the war in Ukraine, Macron said that a total cutoff of Russian gas was looking very likely.
In response, French citizens are being told to engage in energy “sobriety” and prepare for even higher food prices as Macron announced public lighting will be turned off at night in some places.
“From now on, I will ask public bodies, and all companies that can, to consume less,” said Macron. “We will create a program and try to use lighting less in the evenings. We are launching a load reduction and sobriety program.”
“We have to prepare for a scenario in which we have to give up Russian gas completely,” he added.
(This feels more like the war is an excuse to implement these policies with an easy means to punish opponents of the shut-down of civilization as collaborators with the Russians)

4. Nancy Pelosi’s Husband Buys Millions In Chip Stocks Right Before Vote On Massive Chip Subsidy
(Remember when she, and most House Democrats and quite a few House Republicans did the exact same thing with Amazon shares prior to the lockdowns?)
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul bought up to $5 million in stock of a computer chip company ahead of a vote on a bill next week that would hand billions in subsidies to boost chip manufacturing, a financial disclosure shows.
Paul Pelosi purchased 20,000 shares of Nvidia, one of the world’s largest semiconductor companies, on June 17, according to the speaker’s disclosure report released Thursday. Now, senators will convene as early as Tuesday to vote on a bipartisan competition bill, which allocates $52 billion to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing and gives tax credits for production, Reuters reported Thursday.
“It certainly raises the specter that Paul Pelosi could have access to some insider legislative information,” Craig Holman, a government affairs lobbyist for the left-wing think tank Public Citizen, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “This is the reason why there is a stock trading app that exclusively monitors Paul’s trading activity and then its followers do likewise.”
5. Good talker Joe Rogan? Have you ever actually listened to him?
Thank you all for your continued patronage to these ideas and less mainstream perspectives on news events.
1- Maniacal tards will run wild in the dark.
1–This is an interesting idea, given what our leaders are like I am willing to think about it. I want more evidence before I support it, but it is interesting.
Hanging the MEDIA: They deserve it.
So, here we have the CRTC going after the CBC for words. A great example of what goes around comes around.
1. Macron announced that street lights will be turned off in response to the energy crisis? Is that the real reason?
Maybe the real reason is to avoid seeing the trainny wreck that just pulled into the station:

Turning off a few lights won’t change anything. I hope the French are intelligent and will figure out the Green Agenda aka Build Back Better is being implemented, baby steps at a time. Russia is irrelevant.
Notice that Justin Trudeau has a new haircut. Every time he changes his style, a new agenda pops up. He’s now talking to kids about the ‘Climate’. I’m waiting for him to impose restrictions on farmers.
Meanwhile, at the Calgary Stampede, you’ll eat worms!

I’m pretty sure that “cultural enrichment” will really take off now.
Every night the electricity is off, and that’s only for 2.5 hours, three times during 24 hours right now by us, break-ins and other crimes multiply.
I can always hear Alarms going off when the power comes back on, because most people don’t seem to make sure that their back-up batteries for their Alarm systems are still working.
Those ‘hangings at Nuremberg’ look like they took place in Russia, maybe during the Civil War?
I think it’s OK to dream.
Most probably during WW2 in Kharkov Ukraine

Don’t worry about France shutting off the street lamps for part of the night.

the telegraph – Woke dance school drops ballet from auditions as it is ‘white’ and ‘elitist’
Northern School of Contemporary Dance reviews ballet art form as part of a diversity drive
Ballet has been dropped from auditions at leading dance schools as staff say it is rooted in “white European ideas”.
The Northern School of Contemporary Dance (NSCD), which aims to be a “progressive institution”, has reviewed the “elitist” art form as part of a diversity drive that has seen the introduction of new policies relating to gender and race.
Ballet has been ditched as a requirement for school-entry auditions because of its “contentious nature”, with teaching staff explaining that the traditional mode of dance comes with the baggage of “white European ideas”.
The centuries-old art form was seen as being a barrier to inclusion because of the exclusionary financial burden of taking classes, and also because of its idealising of certain European body shapes, and division of roles along gender lines.
‘Decolonise the curriculum’
The changes come after the conservatoire undertook work to “decolonise the curriculum” and take advice from LGBT societies.
Information from the NSCD, based in Leeds, said: “We review content and have removed ballet from our audition day due to its potentially contentious nature.”
Francesca McCarthy, head of undergraduate studies at the conservatoire, explained to The Telegraph: “It is essentially an elitist form. Young people need to pay to take ballet classes as a general rule and for a vast number of potential students, they’ve not had access to ballet.
“It is a very specific form that is built around particular white European ideas and body shapes that are often alienating to young people who do not fit that aesthetic ideal.”
“There are issues relating to body, money, language and movement vocabulary.”
An issue of vocabulary
The issue of vocabulary hinges on ballet’s traditional terminology – which has led to gender distinctions such as “ballerina” for women and “danseur” for men – and the everyday use of “men and women” or “girls and boys” in dance classes.
The split of roles along gender lines, with female dancers tending towards pointe work and men customarily performing leaps and lifts, has also been cited as an issue, and the NSCD is seeking to become more inclusive by tackling distinctions.
Ms McCarthy said: “Ballet has strongly gendered roots in terms of the movement vocabulary.
“Most of our ballet staff were trained at a time where divisions in the teaching of ballet were clear and men lifted women. There was a shift to ladies and gentleman over time but this is still problematic in relation to inclusion of non-binary and trans dancers.”
Ms McCarthy said that the NSCD has encouraged staff to use gender-neutral terms such as “dancers/people/folk/everyone/everybody”, and also to “try and embed the use of they in terms of pronouns in order to not make assumptions about a dancer’s identity”.
The NSCD hopes that removing ballet as a necessity for entry auditions, and altering the way the art form is taught during courses – where ballet remains part of the curriculum – will make the school more inclusive and increase the diversity of the student body.
Accelerated from BLM protests
The changes come after a three-year process that began in 2019 with staff undertaking “professional development” to learn more about “unconscious bias”, and that was accelerated following Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, leading to a focus on “decolonising the curriculum”.
The NSCD also established several student societies in 2020, including an LGBTQ+ group that subsequently offered advice on “pronouns and the implications of gendered movement vocabularies such as in ballet classes”.
The school is one of the member schools of the Conservatoire of Dance and Drama, which rolled out plans to ditch traditional, tight-fitting dance attire such as leotards in order to be more inclusive of transgender people.
