The great Quixote kerfuffle 2011/ 2912 edition

This is new information to me. I really don't pay much attention to Slate but apparently Katy Waldman, through the magic of the FOA (Future Of Information Act?) had gained access to some extremely revealing messages Donald Trump sent starting in 2011 and one he will send in the year 2912), to Alex Salmond, the former leader of the Scottish National Party. The time stamp on Slate is, as I write, 12/22/2016.

August 16, 2912

These monstrous turbines are extremely unpopular in Scotland and the rest of the World – there is a great uprising against them.

The date alone obviously raises more questions than it answers and that in and of itself may explain why the subject of the Trumps' extreme opposition to "wind turbines" received very little attention when it was originally reported. In retrospect, it's clearly a subject that Trump cares about and deeply.

Perhaps the reason these turbines are referred to as “renewable” is because every five years they need to be replaced with new equipment, or renewed … Who is going to pay for the new installations then? Not you, for you will be long gone, but the people of Scotland will forever suffer! With the reckless installation of these monsters, you will single-handedly have done more damage to Scotland than virtually any event in Scottish history!

Please understand that I am doing this to save Scotland and honour my mother.
