Thousands of Businesses Closing in Europe Due to High Energy Bills That Make it No Longer Possible to Stay Open

Over the past week, shocked Europeans - mostly in the UK and Ireland - have been posting viral photos of shockingly high energy bills amid the ongoing (and worsening) energy crisis. Several of the posts were from small business owners who getting absolutely crushed right now, and won't be able to remain operational much longer. As the Irish Times reports, "The cost of electricity to the Poppyfields cafe for 73 days from early June until the end of August came in at €9,024.70 an increase of 250 per cent in just 12 months. There doesn’t include the €812.22 in VAT, which brought her total bill to €9,836.92." "How in the name of God is this possible," tweeted cafe owner Dolan. Europe is facing economic devastation and depression at a scale that will make 2008 seems like a walk in the park. As the FT reports, German manufacturers are halting production in response to the surge in energy prices, a trend the government has described as “alarming”. German economy minister Robert Habeck said industry had worked hard to reduce its gas consumption in recent months, partly by switching to alternative fuels like oil, making its processes more efficient and reducing output. But he amusingly clarified, some companies had also “stopped production altogether” — a development he said was “alarming”. “It’s not good news," he said, “because it can mean that the industries in question aren’t just being restructured but are experiencing a rupture — a structural rupture, one that is happening under enormous pressure.”

Winter from Hell: Europe About to Descend into Chaos as Millions Could Die

Winter is about to descend on Europe, and due to energy shortages and resulting food shortages as well, millions of people's lives are at stake. I have often been accused in the past of using "hyperbole" or "exaggeration" in my headlines to promote fear. But I disagree. I have no editors, bosses, supporters, funders, or anyone else who holds leverage over me as a publisher, and I seek to publish the truth that is often not published elsewhere. I have had other publishers in the Alternative Media email me from time to time and write things like: "Hey, that was a great article you wrote, but can you change the headline so we can publish it on our site also?" No. I will not be censored, at least not willingly. I have had judges, district attorneys and other attorneys, including some of the top law firms in the United States, threaten me if I did not take down certain articles, and I have never once complied, ever. And I am still publishing today. That's the way it works when Satan's minions have no leverage over you, as not even the threat of death would sway me, as I welcome the day I leave this body and sin-cursed world and join my Savior in the Kingdom of God. If someone were to offer me a choice today, to either continue working and doing the things I am doing in running my two businesses, or to die and exit this life, I would gladly choose to leave this world right now, today, and avoid what is coming down the road. But that is not my choice to make. It is God's. So is Europe about to descend into chaos where potentially millions will die this winter? For the rest of this article I am going to publish recent news excerpts from other publishers, who may not be bold enough to write a headline like I did for this article, but you decide for yourself if this is hyperbole or not.

European Lawmakers Want Glyphosate Weedkiller Banned in Europe by 2020

On 16 October a cross-party group of MEPs demanded a phase-out of glyphosate by December 2020. They want a ban on non-professional use of the herbicide and use in public parks or playgrounds after 15 December 2017, when the current authorisation expires. The MEPs want the Commission to withdraw its proposal for a 10-year renewal. The MEPs also want a ban on agricultural application after 15 December 2017 in cases where integrated plant protection methods are sufficient. They are asking for Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) funds to be made available to farmers to support the transition to more sustainable methods of weed control.

Half of Europe Opts Out of New GM Crop Scheme

Half of the European Union’s 28 countries and three of its regions have opted out of a new GM crop scheme, in a blow to biotech industry hopes. Under new EU rules agreed in March, 15 countries have now told Brussels they will send territorial exclusion requests to the big agricultural multinationals including Monsanto, Dow, Syngenta and Pioneer. Applications from Latvia and Greece have already been accepted by the firms and if that pattern is extended, around two-thirds of of the EU’s population – and of its arable land – will be GM-free.

European Parliament Addresses the Gardasil Scandal in Europe

What is the justification for using HPV vaccines? What is the benefit/risk profile? What place do HPV vaccines have in the cervical cancer prevention strategy, and at what cost? Is Gardasil a cervical cancer vaccine or a cancer of policies? Where are medical ethics in cervical cancer prevention plans? More than 200 European doctors signed a letter to parliament asking for a moratorium on the use of HPV vaccines until these questions are resolved. On April 9,2015, Michelé Rivasi, European Ecology MEP, delivered a presentation to the European Parliament on behalf of more than 200 European physicians demanding answers to these questions. Ms. Ravasi calls for a parliamentary mission to provide those answers.
