EV DISASTER: We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Electric Cars
AS WE EXPECTED... a electric car in Florida in a garage caught fire when the salt water hit it during the hurricane
Debunking Elon Musk: Driving Electric Car Fake Environmentalism
Mark Keenan
In Sweden there exists an electrified road for Electric Vehicles (EVs) to charge while driving[1]. The 2 km stretch of road is the world’s first of its kind, and an expansion of a further 3,000 km of electric road by 2045 is planned. It all sounds rather cool and futuristic, and I am reminded of a song lyric from the 1980s, the singer Eddie Grant sang “we’re gonna rock onto Electric Avenue”.
However, let us consider whether these expensive EVs are actually environmentally friendly or are yet mega-corporate marketing scam?
This article demonstrates that the latter is the case. The reality is that the misled environmentalists buying these cars are suckers for mega-corporate advertising, ignorantly proud of their so-called low-carbon eco-cars.

Carbon Cowboys?

In a recent interview with the New York Times, billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates was asked if there were types of projects that he would not invest in to offset his greenhouse gas emissions. “I don’t plant trees,” he replied, adding that planting trees to deal with the climate crisis was complete nonsense. “I mean, are we the science people, or are we the idiots? Which one do we want to be?”[1]
Microsoft, the company he built his fortune on and, according to insiders, still actively advises, sees it differently.
In June 2024, the tech giant bought 8 million carbon credits from the Timberland Investment Group (TIG), a fund owned by the Brazilian agribusiness lender BTG Pactual.[2] TIG is raising US$1 billion to buy and convert pasture lands to large-scale eucalyptus plantations across the Southern Cone of Latin America.[3] As these trees grow, they draw carbon from the atmosphere and store it in their roots, trunks and branches. TIG will estimate the amount of carbon removed and then sell it as carbon credits to Microsoft and other corporations.
Each carbon credit that Microsoft buys from TIG is supposed to offset one tonne of the emissions Microsoft generates burning fossil fuels. This is one of the main ways that Microsoft and many other companies are planning on getting to “net zero” emissions, while still burning fossil fuels.

Indigenous artist Agnes Seaweed Wisden of Sea Wisdom Design has had her work soar to new heights as it was worn by two actors at the Emmys on Sept. 15.
Lily Gladstone, known for her work in Fancy Dance, Killers of the Flower Moon and Under The Bridge, which was based on the true story of Victoria’s Reena Virk, donned several pieces made by Wisden.
“Lily had an assortment of a copper cuff, she wore a copper knuckle ring, along with the large Camas Lilly Chest Plate. Her work was meant to symbolize her character that she was nominated for. Her character is a Sixties Scoop survivor and she plays a cop based in Victoria investigating the case of Reena Virk,” said Wisden. “I chose to engrave Camas Lilies on the chest plate to symbolize resurgence and taking root. Camas Lilies are a plant that is currently being revitalized after colonization, and its roots are an important part of traditional food systems here on the island.”
Gladstone wasn’t the only star to wear Wisden’s pieces. Chad Charlie from TV’s Reservation Dogs, also wore several items made by Wisden.
“(Chad) received a large copper Dancer Necklace, Copper Shield Ring, 2 Copper Cuffs and some buttons for his custom made Tuxedo. His were engraved with his clans: Thunderbird, Wolf, and Orca,” said Wisden.
Wisden has been working in the arts since completing a fine arts diploma in 2009. She later completed a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in 2014. Wisden has been making carved jewelry since 2019 after completing an apprenticeship under her father, Norman Seaweed.
Wisden typically works with copper, silver and gold but will also branch off into other design avenues for commissions for vector drawings or even tattoos. Working in copper is especially significant for her.
“Copper to my people, The Kwakwaka’wakw, is a sign of wealth, status and used in potlatching. Often copper is hammered into a shape known as a shield that a chief uses to denote how many potlatches, disputes or agreements. They are inherited down family lines.”
Gladstone and Charlie aren’t the first famous people to wear Wisden’s work.
“There are people who have worn or bought my work that are up to notable activities like writing best selling books, reporters, university superstars, or going on TV for a reality show.”
Both Gladstone and Charlie’s stylists contacted Wisden separately in order to borrow work for the Emmys.
“I never have any stock or items to borrow, so I offered another option to make work specific for the event. They didn’t know until the day of the event they would be wearing my jewelry for the Emmys. So that was a highlight to receive a backstage image of them twinning in their copper jewelry from me.”
Wisden had a short turnaround time to get her pieces ready for their Emmy debut.
“It’s hard to make sense of what the designing, creating, cleaning and sending adds up for my time, but I had three weeks to finish the work for both of them before the Emmys event.”

r.i.p. Marcellus Williams
‣ After the state of Missouri executed Marcellus Williams on Tuesday based on shoddy testimony and no DNA evidence, his poems began circulating on social media. In one he reflects on the children of Palestine, on “fireflies dancing in step with the light of the moon” in another. You can read his book of poetry Perspectives and Emotions for free online.
