Heat Wave Saudi Aramco Is Here. Prepare Now.
Mid-Hudson News uses AI propaganda. We're naming this heat wave after the companies causing it.
I know. I promised we were going to pick up where we left off on how the Orange County Democratic Committee apparently doesn’t know how to launch a successful campaign for sheriff. But we will get to that tomorrow (Wednesday, July 1).
First, we have to talk about the heat.
No. Not THAT Heat. — I’m also pretty sure Dwyane Wade is retired.
I’m talking about what Mid-Hudson News tried to convey using AI Slop. And once again, lending credibility to our position that the Trump EPA Region 2 head’s little news website cannot be trusted.
Pictured Above: AI videos are used by fascists and weirdos to trick people into believing their propaganda. The videos and imagery are based on work stolen from other people without their knowledge or consent, and without compensation. No respectable media outlet should be using this AI slop, yet Mid-Hudson News continues to do so.
(Not to mention, the AI data centers needed to generate the AI slop above are making your electric bill go up. That’s because the tech oligarchs don’t pay a thing to build these things or the infrastructure needed to support them, making you foot the bill and straining an already strained electric grid. Meaning the possibility for blackouts and brownouts go up exactly when you need electricity to keep you cool.
See the problem yet?)
Why Are We Talking About This?
For starters — and I have to confess this is not an original idea and I most likely first saw it in Bill McKibben’s newsletter, The Crucial Years — from now on, whenever we get these heat waves, we’re supposed to name them the way they do hurricanes. The corporate media outlets won’t do this because it’ll upset their advertisers. So your friends at The Monroe Gazette are filling the void.
The concept being that the pool of names for the heat wave should exclusively feature companies that are contributing to that heat wave. Meaning, oil, gas, and other companies actively polluting the environment despite overwhelming evidence that we’re facing a climate emergency.
So, this week’s heat wave — Heat Wave #1 of 2026 — is Saudi Aramco.
Heat Wave Saudi Aramco is expected to last until Saturday at 9 p.m., according to the National Weather Service.
For those of you who aren’t familiar, Saudi Aramco is the fourth largest oil company in the world and Saudi Arabia’s national oil company. Meaning whenever we’re buying their gas, we’re funding some of the same people who funded and assisted in 9/11. And more recently, brutally murdered a journalist and completely control the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, like a puppet on a string:
It would be amazing to see the same amount of outrage over Kushner’s deep financial ties to the Saudi government that we saw with Hunter Biden’s laptop, but you won’t see that in the pages of The New York Post.
That’s because MAGA is a fascist cult, and it only cares about what it’s told to care about. Pointing out its hypocrisy is pointless because, again, it’s a cult. Nothing you or anyone says is going to matter. They can’t hear you. They can only hear the angry white person shouting at them through their distraction rectangles.
The Monroe Gazette is ad-free and paywall-free, covering local news in Monroe, Woodbury, and surrounding towns as well as county, state, and national issues that impact those residents.
If you’d like to keep it that way, we’re looking to recruit 998 new paid annual subscribers between now and June 24, 2027. Want to help keep the lights on? Press that beautiful blue button below.
The other reason we’re telling you this is because extreme heat is the new normal.
And if you haven’t figured out what your plan is to manage it, you might want to do so. Yes. We’ve always had Summer heat waves, but these heat waves ain’t like the ones you and I grew up with. It’s hotter now. The kind of heat that’ll answer the question of what happens when you fuck around and want to find out.
So. Here’s the official message from New York State’s Office of Emergency Management. Please be safe out there this week.
“Feels like temperatures are forecast to be above 100 degrees Fahrenheit in portions of Western New York and the Finger Lakes tomorrow before spreading across the state Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. An Extreme Heat Watch has been issued from Wednesday through Friday statewide, except for portions of the North Country Region. Please see the full list of the included counties below.
Dangerous heat conditions are expected, which can lead to heat exhaustion or stroke. Consider postponing or rescheduling outdoor activities. Keep children and pets in air conditioning if possible. IF OUTSIDE: wear light-colored loose clothing and a hat. NEVER leave children or pets in a car.
If possible, stay out of the sun and stay in the air conditioning.
Avoid strenuous activity and exercise, especially during the sun’s peak hours: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Drink plenty of fluids - preferably water.
Check on your friends, family, and neighbors.
If you have signs of heat stroke, seek medical attention immediately. Signs of a heat stroke include:
Extremely high body temperatures.
Red, hot, and dry skin with no sweat.
Rapid, strong pulse.
Dizziness, confusion, and unconsciousness.

By The Way …
Isn’t it amazing how fast New York State officials got involved to fix this stolen election on Long Island, but we’re now approaching nine months since there was an actual case of election fraud in South Blooming Grove and New York State Attorney General Letitia James is nowhere to be found?
