It’s hard to describe the depth of my disappointment upon discovering that demons are… cowards. All those supernatural abilities and they still have a gizzard? And yet, a fear of rejection perfectly explains why they wait to be sought out by foolish mortals hoping for momentary gain. They want to see assurances that the mortal won’t call out their lies.
Video games lied to me! I thought they were all supersoldiers! But nooo, demons are more like… Congressmen. Which also explains much.
And by Congressmen, today, I mean the lackwitted chuckleheads who turned Portland, Oregon into a vampiric, Socialist… Hell-On-Earth. Hmm.
US climate change lawsuit seeks $50 billion, citing 2021 heat wave

An Oregon county on Thursday sued Exxon, Chevron, other major oil and coal companies, and industry groups, seeking over $50 billion to counter the harms caused by extreme weather fueled by climate change.
They really, SERIOUSLY should have picked on somebody their own size.
Multnomah County said in the lawsuit filed in state court in Portland that fossil fuel companies and trade groups like the American Petroleum Institute intentionally deceived the public about the dangers of burning their products for decades. It said the companies and trade groups must now help pay for past and future harms from the extreme weather that has resulted, including a 2021 heat wave in the Pacific Northwest that killed dozens.
Rather than acknowledge the dangers of climate change, the lawsuit said the fossil fuel industry worked to undermine the scientific consensus around the problem “with pseudo-science, fabricated doubt, and a well-funded, sustained public relations campaign to promote their spin.”
More than ever, I wonder how long the energy industry will tolerate the WEF (and the Cabalists behind it) plotting their literal extermination, before “the State of Oregon” becomes “the State of Exxon”. Know what I mean?
It’s like watching that famous Matrix waterfall. You can see the talking points of the Illuminati flow downhill, through the various mouthpieces, to We the Sheeple Of the United States.
What do Portland, the Church of England and the National Women’s Basketball League all have in common? Their top priority is “stopping Climate Change before it’s too late” despite their day job of running a brothel.
Anyway, this is a stupid lawsuit. At least, it should be. “The punishment for disagreeing with our politics should be funding our politics!” But it’s also a courageous lawsuit. It’s $51b price tag guarantees top-level publicity, not a good thing if you proceed to lose, and while Big Oil has not yet redeployed its “peacekeeping international security forces of peace” to the domestic front, their Special Lawfare commandos have been bloodied against the United Nations itself… with results!

The United Nations will require delegates attending its annual climate summit to disclose their affiliation in an effort to clamp down on undue influence by fossil fuel companies and others, officials said Thursday.
Climate campaigners have long complained that the so-called Conferences of the Parties, or COPs, are undermined by lobbyists for oil and gas firms attending under the guise of country delegates. Participants will also be asked to provide optional information on their relationship with the government agency or organization that’s nominated them and those declining to do so will be flagged accordingly.
SEAL Team Six is so third-generation warfare.
End segue
Knowing that the wicked are cowards at heart, what gave them the courage to try this lawsuit? Sure, it could always be a last gasp before Portland’s government collapses into Family Guy‘s Petoria, but this lawsuit ain’t gonna be resolved before the next budget season… now to include lawyer bills. Which means it’s a virtue signal, which in turn, means they wouldn’t proceed without testing the waters. Just like their supernatural owners.
Sooo, what recently happened to encourage them?
3M reaches $10.3 billion settlement over contamination of water systems with ‘forever chemicals’

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — Chemical manufacturer 3M Co. will pay at least $10.3 billion to settle lawsuits over contamination of many U.S. public drinking water systems with potentially harmful compounds used in firefighting foam and a host of consumer products, the company said Thursday.
The deal would compensate water providers for pollution with per- and polyfluorinated substances, known collectively as PFAS — a broad class of chemicals used in nonstick, water- and grease-resistant products such as clothing and cookware.
Described as “forever chemicals” because they don’t degrade naturally in the environment, PFAS have been linked to a variety of health problems, including liver and immune-system damage and some cancers.
The agreement would settle a case that was scheduled for trial earlier this month involving a claim by Stuart, Florida, one of about 300 communities that have filed similar suits against companies that produced firefighting foam or the PFAS it contained.
3M chairman Mike Roman said the deal was “an important step forward” that builds on the company’s decision in 2020 to phase out PFOA and PFOS and its investments in “state-of-the-art water filtration technology in our chemical manufacturing operations.” The company, based in St. Paul, Minnesota, will halt all PFAS production by the end of 2025, he said.
That boldfaced is the key to 3M’s motivation for settling.
Earlier this month, three other companies — DuPont de Nemours Inc. and spinoffs Chemours Co. and Corteva Inc. — reached a $1.18 billion deal to resolve PFAS complaints by about 300 drinking water providers. A number of states, airports, firefighter training facilities and private well owners also have sued.
The cases are pending in U.S. District Court in Charleston, South Carolina, where Judge Richard Gergel is overseeing thousands of complaints alleging PFAS damages. A trial of a complaint by the city of Stuart, Florida, had been scheduled to begin this month but was delayed to allow time for additional settlement negotiations.
One single judge presiding over an entire category of thousands of legal complaints? Now doesn’t that sound fortified.
Summary: Lots of lawsuits over PFAS were filed, and to be fair, it’s very toxic stuff. However, the EPA didn’t regulate it until this year… some corporate cronyism in that, surely, but 3M had already begun the phaseout.
That tidal wave of litigation waited to see how this big one went, so they would have a precedent to act upon. 3M cleverly planned ahead, building PFAS-cleanup equipment in parallel to the phaseout, so this settlement means they reluctantly agreed to be the sole equipment supplier for a cleanup that they’re probably responsible for anyway. They’ll still take a loss, but meanwhile, the settlement ALSO means that all those me-too lawsuits STILL don’t have a juicy precedent to work with. I expect another trial balloon will be floated, which will be another couple years for the plaintiffs to stop waiting and purchase the cleanup equipment themselves… probably from 3M.
That appears to not have been the lesson learned by ALL the observers, however.
Portland, now with no economy except prostitution and the drug trade, saw BigCorp agree to a settlement instead of a big legal fight over an Illuminati talking point, and what a great idea to sue Big Oil for megabucks? while scoring little gold stars from Blackrock? MeToo MeFirst!
It’s so badly flawed an idea, that I can call the play. Big Oil will videotape the plaintiffs driving their gas-fueled armored motorcades through downtown Portland to the courthouse, to blame Big Oil for providing their motorcades with gas. The judge will (purely for his amusement) order the plaintiffs to stop patronizing gasoline suppliers while they seek injunctions and damages against gasoline suppliers.
The next day, the plaintiffs walk through downtown as court-ordered, and the next week, the lawsuit is dismissed upon the discoveries of their looted, sodomized corpses floating in the Columbia River.
Sadly for SJWs, seeing that outcome requires awareness of what is commonly known as hypocrisy. The Totalist attitude of eternal rebellion guarantees they will eternally suffer from their own precedents.
They saw what they wanted to see, BigCorp bending the knee to fund the Agenda with ten zeroes, and rushed forward with the Narrative towards the goalposts of Free Money.
They don’t want to see those Viking-sized legal linebackers between here and there. Whose salaries depend on victory and might just be paid by that previous “settlement”.
*ding* Popcorn’s ready! Keep it weird, Portland. And broke.
They do call it the peoples republic of Portland and some pages say it is the whitest city besides Pittsburgh and Salt Lake City.
This order came from an external source and nationalizing everything is high on the list for the Long March CPUSA (D) comrades.
May the first Sino-American Friendship Center open in Portland.
Enjoy it New Man.
Comrade Commisar Danilov: I’ve been such a fool, Vassili. Man will always be a man. There is no new man. We tried so hard to create a society that was equal, where there’d be nothing to envy your neighbor. But there’s always something to envy. A smile, a friendship, something you don’t have and want to appropriate. In this world, even a Soviet one, there will always be rich and poor. Rich in gifts, poor in gifts. Rich in love, poor in love.
