The LGBTQI Psyops are Running as Planned

/in , , , , , , , /by

“There is no such thing as failure, only results.” – Tony Robbins

Psyops: actions designed to influence the perceptions and attitudes of individuals, groups, and domestic plus foreign governments.

What we are seeing globally today and so prevalently here in America is a program of re-education, propaganda and a definite psych operation that is running true to its planning. It plays a huge part in the total destruction of the United States and everything that it has always stood for as a Judo Christian country.

The destruction of the church and its doctrines and the enforced humiliation and mocking of Christians and their beliefs played a huge part as Christianity had to be destroyed as much as possible so that people could buy into the LGBTQI agenda. All over this country I see churches closed, becoming commercial businesses or homes. Demolished as if they were nothing. Along with that came the total eradication of morals and ethics and clean living, family values, work ethics, charitable behavior etc.

All planned. All executed with amazing results by a leftist agenda with money and power hard to believe. Just like a military operation. Their success has been stunning as we and most of the world have evolved into a country like Sodom and Gomorra, where perversions and immorality rule and clean behavior is looked upon like a disease.

Rhodesians were experts especially in the Selous Scouts. This was where we caught and turned communist terrorist fighters to our cause and fought along side them against a now common enemy. However – I digress.

The LGBTQ psyops was set up for one purpose only:

Legalization and acceptance of pedophilia.

The first step was to legalize gay marriage.

Then came the transgender agenda.

Then the destruction of our military and its leadership.

Then the adoption of children by homosexuals.

Grooming in the government schools by pro LGBTQ teachers.

Acceptance and legalization of pedophilia is next.

The above may sound like a work of fiction but I deeply believe it is not. Not a day goes by where we are not inundated with graphics and words pushing the LGBTQI Agenda and the teaching of our youth by teachers represented by a communist teachers union. Why would any teacher want to teach kids as young as five that transsexualism is normal at their age? That just because their parents tell them they have boys equipment so are therefore boys that the parents are wrong. Same goes for girls.

Since when did teachers become the sole group of people whose private and political opinions are taught to our kids regardless of parents wishes? That parents are wrong if they have an opinion different to the evil and satanic version bring forced upon our youth.

Look at Disney that is risking all to push a far left agenda in support of the LGBTQI community. They are using propaganda aimed at vulnerable kids to say over 40% of this new generation are queerer than any other generation and that is good. Good? Hell no it’s not good.

Look at the massive increase in pedophilia in our political leadership. The behavior of president Clinton. The current usurper Biden has shown his fondness of kids, touching and smelling them at every opportunity. The wealthy and the Royals. All involved in the filth that is pedophilia.

I think every family has experience with the problem. The difference of opinion between their kids and themselves. We all know families with now gay or queer kids?

If we have a problem with it and dare to talk out openly or even mention it we are told we are homophobic, we are penalized and demonized at work, banned from all social media and are made to be the bad guys.

I am on record multiple times here on this blog and on radio interviews etc. of where I stand on gay marriage. On gay parenting. On gay adoptions. On the blatant and open immoral acts forced upon us by TV shows, theater, movies, news cycles etc. The disproportionate amount of time given to their cause by all media and our politicians. I do not agree with it.

What any people do in their own homes behind closed doors is their business. Not mine. They will have to answer to God one day. Their choices are theirs. I do not have to agree nor should I be forced to witness it or agree with it. My opinion is mine. Many do not agree but I have the right as a proud US Citizen to my opinion and thoughts. My First Amendment right.

I am also posting a link to another interesting blog from my friend Dr. Rich Swier’s eMagazine DrRichSwier.com. Enjoy.

Biden’s Secret Service Agents Bribed by Jihadis with Iran and Pakistan Visas Pose as DHS Agents

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

Four Secret Service employees who were special agents to the Bidens are entangled in an alleged bribery scheme carried out by two Muslim men accused of masquerading as Department of Homeland Security law enforcement agents , reports Real Clear Politics.

But no one in the media is asking about the motive.

When investigators searched the defendants’ apartments, they found a drone, handguns, ammunition, bullet-proof body armor, gas masks, zip ties, handheld radios, body cameras, binoculars, a high-powered telescope, and four laptop computers. They also discovered what appeared to be official DHS patches and training manuals, scopes for weapons, components of disassembled rifles, and a list of every resident of the apartment complex.”The FBI has arrested Arian Taherzadeh, 40, and Haider Ali, who posed as Homeland Security agents for years, using their false identities to get close to actual law enforcement officials, including a Secret Service agent assigned to the detail of First Lady Jill Biden.

An affidavit filed Wednesday night in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. revealed that one of the Secret Service agents involved in the bribery scheme was a special agent assigned to First Lady Jill Biden’s protective detail. Another was a Uniformed Division officer at the White House.

Taherzadeh and Ali allegedly obtained guns and assault rifles used by federal law enforcement agencies, as well as items carrying the insignias of those agencies.

Prosecutors say that they went so far to recruit someone to be an “employee of DHS” and “serve on their task force,” and subjected that person to what appears to be a painful hazing ritual.

“As part of the ‘recruitment process’ Taherzadeh and Ali required that the “applicant” be shot with an Airsoft rifle to evaluate their pain tolerance and reaction,” the affidavit says. “Subsequent to being shot, the applicant was informed that their hiring was in process.”

That applicant was “assigned” to conduct research on someone who “provided support to the Department of Defense and intelligence community,” the affidavit says…. more

RealClearPolitics has learned that another Secret Service special agent involved in the alleged bribery is assigned to President Biden’s detail, those agents who accompany the president nearly everywhere he goes and stand by his side during the most sensitive of discussions and private moments. A second Uniformed Division officer caught up in the bizarre scheme was assigned to protect Vice President Harris’s residence, according to sources familiar with the matter.

Daniel Greenfield nails it:

The strangest part of this story is why no one in the media is asking about the motive.

Two men were arrested in Washington DC Wednesday for pretending to be federal operatives who gifted Secret Service agents with lavish handouts in an effort to gain access to them

Why did they want to gain access to them?

People do this kind of thing to gain access to politicians or to decisionmakers, they don’t do it to gain access to protective detail people.

Arian Taherzadeh, 40, and Haider Ali, 36 posed as members of a fake Department of Homeland Security task force investigating violence connected to the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the US Capitol, the feds said.

Taherzadeh is an Iranian last name. Haider Ali would also seem to come from a background that implies a Muslim country. Their religion obviously isn’t stated or commented on, but raises questions. They are at the very least from Muslim-origin countries. Shouldn’t that trigger some inquiries?

The suspects allegedly set up the ruse to ingratiate themselves with Secret Service agents, who they supplied with rent-free luxury apartments, high-end electronics and policing equipment.

One of the duped agents worked on first lady Jill Biden’s security detail and was offered a $2,000 assault rifle from Taherzadeh, according to prosecutors.

In another instance, the suspects allegedly supplied an agent with a penthouse apartment that was rented for more than $40,000 a year.

Where were they getting all this money and what was in it for them? Why throw a $2K rifle at a secret service agent working a security detail?

Questions no one in the media seems to even admit are there.

Secret Service Agents bribed by men with Iran, Pakistan visas pretending to be DHS Agents

By: Sara Carter Staff, April 8, 2022:

Four secret Service employees who were special agents to the Bidens are “entangled in an alleged bribery scheme carried out by two men accused of masquerading as Department of Homeland Security law enforcement agents” , reports Real Clear Politics.

Two men impersonating DHS agents allegedly attempted to bribe the four members of the Secret Service. In an affidavit, the FBI said the men “have been pretending to be DHS agents from as early as February until their arrest and noted that they carried insignias and firearms used by federal agents as part of that deception. The goal was to ‘ingratiate themselves with members of the federal law enforcement and the defense community.”

The men accused of bribery are Arian Taherzadeh and Haider Ali, both U.S. citizens with passports and visas to Iran and Pakistan who appear to have targeted an apartment complex which is home to many law enforcement employees from the Secret Service and Department of Homeland Security.

Real Clear Politics reports Taharzadeh and Ali “seemed to have control of five apartments. When investigators searched the defendants’ apartments, they found a drone, handguns, ammunition, bullet-proof body armor, gas masks, zip ties, handheld radios, body cameras, binoculars, a high-powered telescope, and four laptop computers. They also discovered what appeared to be official DHS patches and training manuals, scopes for weapons, components of disassembled rifles, and a list of every resident of the apartment complex.”

Their cover was blown when a U.S. postal inspector responded to the apartment complex to investigate an alleged assault on a letter carrier. During the investigation, the inspector spoke with Taherzadeh and Ali, who gave them wild tales about being investigators with the U.S. Special Police investigation Unit and “deputized special police” with the city of Washington.

It was revealed in an affidavit filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. that one of the agents caught up in the bribery scheme was a special agent assigned to First Lady Jill Biden’s protective detail. A second agent was a Uniformed Division officer at the White House.

A third Secret Service special agent is assigned to President Biden’s detail, Real Clear Politics learned. The agent’s position puts him at the President’s side “nearly everywhere he goes and stands by his side during the most sensitive of discussions and private moments.”

The fourth agent, a second Uniformed Division officer, was assigned to protect Vice President Harris’s residence. Real Clear Politics details the bribery accusations:

According to court filings, one of the more troubling details of the case involves Taherzadah allegedly offering to give an assault rifle worth $2,000 to the Secret Service agent assigned to Jill Biden. The filing also says that Taherzadeh lent what he described as a “government vehicle” to the same Secret Service agent’s wife and also gave her a generator.

Taherzadeh is also accused of giving members of the Secret Service, as well as a legitimate DHS employee, “rent-free apartments (with a total yearly rent of over $40,000 per apartment), iPhones, surveillance systems, a drone, a flat-screen television, a case for storing an assault rifle, a generator and law enforcement paraphernalia,” the filing states. Prosecutors say one of the agents who received the free rent and additional gifts is the Uniformed Division officer assigned to the White House.

That agent lived rent-free in a three-bedroom apartment that generally would rent for $48,000 annually, the filing said. It was located at the same complex where Taherzadeh lived. Prosecutors said he was tricked into believing accepting the free rent wouldn’t raise ethics or conflict of interest issues because Taherzadeh told the agent that a division of DHS “had approved extra rooms as part of his operations, and that [agent] could live in one of them for free.”

“The investigation confirmed that there are no such [DHS] operations, and it authorized no such expense,” the filing said.

Disney Corporate President Karey Burke Says Next Generation ‘Queerer, so Disney better get with it.’

Disney corporate president says next generation ‘queerer,’ company must ‘get with it’

Disney corporate president talked about targeting younger viewers

By Timothy Nerozzi, FOX Business, April 9, 2022:

FOX Business host gives his take on the company’s reaction to the Parental Rights in Education Bill on ‘Making Money.’

Disney corporate President Karey Burke told company staff that Generation Z is “30-40% queerer” than previous generations, according to video of a company video call.

“As my son texted me this morning, Gen Z is 30-40% queerer than other generations,” Burke said on the video call, published by writer Christopher F. Rufo. “So Disney better get with it.”

“When I was at Freeform, it was very much in the brand ethos to be the tip of the spear when it comes to inclusion,” Burke explained earlier on the same call. Freeform is a cable television channel owned by the Disney corporation.

“In part, I think nobody stopped us because we were targeting Gen Z and millennials. We were targeting younger and more open-minded …,” Burke added before cutting herself off.

Burke said in another video that she would like to see at least 50% of Disney’s characters in the future identify as LGBT or as a racial minority.

The in-house videos of Disney pushing the progressive agenda come after some Disney employees walked off the job last week protesting a perceived lack of company opposition to a Florida bill that prohibits teachers from providing instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third-grade classrooms.

Walgreens Starts RATIONING Baby Formula as Shortage Worsens Under Democrat Regime

/in , , , , , , , /by

Remember when America was rich and free under Trump?

Oh how the mighty have fallen. We went from an economy of abundance to an economy of scarcity in little over  a year. The Democrats couldn’t have done it harder or faster. How long before we are looking at Peru-style riots?

  • A national shortage of baby formula has forced US retailers such as Walgreens to ration the product
  • The company – the second-largest pharmacy chain in the US behind CVS – said it is limiting customers to three formula purchases at a time, at its 9,021 locations
  • A spokesperson said the shortage stems from an ‘increased demand and various supplier issues’
  • A recent study by Datasembly, a company that tracks retail records, revealed 29 percent of all top-selling formulas are out of stock at stores across the nation

Walgreens Starts Rationing Baby Formula as Shortage Worsens

By Luca Cacciatore | Newsmax April 8, 2022:

Walgreens announced on Friday that it would limit customers to three infant and toddler formula purchases at a time as shortages for the product brought on primarily by COVID-era supply chain issues continue to worsen, the Daily Mail reported.

The outlet noted that the company is the second-largest drugstore chain in the United States behind CVS and has 9,021 locations in the country.

Along with COVID supply issues, the baby formula shortage was compounded after severe weather in the South created delivery disruptions for distributors. A recall of several Abbott formula products over a possible bacterial infection did not help either.

Nearly 30% of the top-selling baby formula products were out of stock in U.S. stores as of mid-March, up 11% from November, according to a data analysis of 11,000 stores by Datasembly.

The data company’s CEO, Ben Reich, told CBS News that the 11% jump was ”a shocking number that you don’t see for other categories.”

”We’ve been tracking it over time, and it’s going up dramatically. We see this category is being affected by economic conditions more dramatically than others,” Reich said.

Some specific states reported even worse numbers. In Connecticut, Hawaii, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, North and South Dakota, Rhode Island, and Texas, over 40% of baby formula products were out of stock. In Minnesota, that number was above 50%, the Mail reported.

The Infant Nutrition Council of America recently updated its website to address concerns caused by the shortage of formula products, emphasizing steps the agency and producers are taking to tackle the issue.

”Manufacturers have increased production and are working with retailers and government agencies to help ensure availability and continued access to infant formula,” the page reads.

The council also pleads for parents to ”avoid unnecessary stockpiling” of baby formula products to ”help ensure all parents and caregivers can obtain the formula they need.”

White House Vows To Punish States Who Oppose Child Sex Reassignment Surgery, Puberty Blockers (VIDEO)

/in , , , , , , , /by

The Democrat regime is officially the pro-pedophilia party.

On March 25th, 2016 in a column titled “They’re mainstreaming pedophilia!” reported:

Alfred Kinsey’s ongoing sexual anarchy campaign has no end in sight.

Matt Barber, associate dean of the Liberty University School of Law, and I attended the “B4U-ACT” pedophile conference Aug. 17. To eliminate the “stigma” against pedophiles, this growing sexual anarchist lobby wants the American Psychiatric Association (APA) to redefine pedophilia as a normal sexual orientation of “Minor-Attracted Persons.”

Adhering to the Kinsey principle of lulling “straights” into a false sense of security, pedophile dress was largely conservative – short hair, jackets, some ties and few noticeable male ear piercings.

Matt Barber and I sat in the back of the meeting room among roughly 50 activists and their “mental health” attending female enablers. “Pedophilia, Minor-Attracted Persons, and the DSM: Issues and Controversies,” keynoted “Fred Berlin, M.D., Ph.D., as founder, National Institute for the Study, Prevention and Treatment of Sexual Trauma; Johns Hopkins Sexual Disorders Clinic.”

Watch on Fox News over the redefining of pedophilia:

went on to report:

However, the sex clinic was initially founded by John Money, Ph.D., to give judges “leeway” to keep child molesters out of jail. Money (deceased), a pedophile advocate, also called for an end to all age-of-consent laws. Dr. Berlin was his disciple.

In 1973, our “post Kinsey era,” a small APA committee of psychiatrists, quite terrified by homosexist public harassment, agreed to rely on Kinsey’s fraudulent human sexuality “data” to redefine homosexuality as normal, removing it from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) of mental disorders.

The APA decision was hyped in college textbooks, law journal articles, judicial rulings, and by 1974 pitched as high-school sex education. Soon the homosexist lobby would sail into primary schools and kindergartens by agitating recurring AIDS “prevention,” “bullying” and “hate” panics.

To redefine homosexuality as a normal “orientation,” nature not nurture, researchers were told to ignore all data of early sex abuse or other trauma. This hoax was followed by the 1999 U.S. Department of Justice data that found 64 percent of forcible sodomy victims to be boys under age 12.

For after claiming 10 percent to 37 percent of men were sometime homosexual, Kinsey also said children are sexual from birth and so deserve to have sex with adults or youths (taught as a 1974 Planned Parenthood sex ed doctrine).

The APA path to pedophile norms follows the success of the homosexual anarchy campaign. Arguably, the pedophile media lobby directed the passionate boy-boy kisses on the TV series “Glee,” to enable fellow “Minor-Attracted Persons” to increasingly be seen as a boy’s sex “friend.”

B4U-ACT claims to “help mental health professionals learn more about attraction to minors and to consider the effects of stereotyping, stigma, and fear.” While the group claimed they want to teach pedophiles “how to live life fully and stay within the law,” no one suggested how to stop their child lust or molestation.

Barber asked what “age of consent” the group proposed and what role pornography plays as a causative factor in child sex abuse. No one would answer the first question, and all denied any harm from pornography.

Arguably, due to our presence, Dr. Berlin (who sat next to me during the entire event) admitted that occasionally pornography could trigger sexual acting out. He also expressed a personal belief that pre-pubescent children (that is, under about age 10) cannot consent, and that perhaps even teenagers might be sexually vulnerable.

All speakers focused on pedophiles as healthy, normal and unfairly victimized by stigma and mean words. Following repeated assertions that pedophiles never force children, are gentle and loving, one researcher did cite a child “victim” who was raped and sodomized.

One speaker laughingly compared doing an obscene act “on” a child to doing the same obscene act on a shoe. No one protested, and some chuckled. One young female suggested pedophiles might be helped by engaging in “sex play” using naked pictures of pseudo children, allied with some sadism, bridal gowns, etc. This Ph.D. social worker candidate proudly noted her objection to any “repression.”

For their attendance, the pedophile political activists could earn 6.0 units of continuing education credits by the “Maryland Board of Social Work Examiners.” These 12 board members credentialed this pedophile academic farce, giving higher education credits to allow felons and near-felons to advance their child sexual abuse agenda by using bogus and fraudulent research. I would encourage people to complain to the board at this link.

Committed to quietly monitoring this meeting, I offered a few unwelcome closing remarks. I noted the arrogance of this group’s conclusion that Americans’ fear for child safety is due to a puritanical “sex panic.” Since the Department of Justice found 58,200 children kidnapped by non-family members in 1999, such fear seems well-placed.

Before leaving the issue of stigma and hate speech, note a few excerpts from BOYCHAT April 15 by some of these “social worker” credentialed pedophiles:

“Judith Reisman” is “with the worst of them … dehumanizing hate speech … extreme christian [sic], right wing … alarmist … creating gross distrotions [sic] … no genuine integrity … a harlot. … Judith did, in fact, make [Kinsey’s sexual stimulation of infants and toddlers] sound like horrendously violent, child sexual assault … [she is a] horrible, wretched scumbag … pathetic, sorry excuse for a human being. … The world will become a less wretched place, the second Judith Reisman drops dead [from natural causes, of course, though I’d not complain if she got accidentally ran over by a semi]. … With Love, Stevie-D.”

Love? What was that about stigma and hate speech?

Exposed: The Russian Companies That Will Get Billions From New Iran Nuclear Deal

Exposed: The Russian Companies That Will Get Billions From New Iran Nuclear Deal

U.S.-government document shows Russia’s top state companies stand to cash in when sanctions drop

By: Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, April 8, 2022:

Several of Russia’s top state-controlled nuclear companies stand to gain billions of dollars in revenue as part of a new nuclear accord with Iran that will waive sanctions on these firms so that they can build up Tehran’s nuclear infrastructure, according to a U.S. government-authored document reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.

Russia’s state-controlled Rosatom energy firm and at least four of its major subsidiaries will receive sanctions waivers under a new accord so that they can complete nuclear projects in Iran worth more than $10 billion, according to the 2019 document, which details all the Russian entities involved in these projects.

The document’s authenticity was confirmed by a former senior U.S. official, who said it was used by the Trump administration during internal talks about potential sanctions on Iran’s nuclear program and its Russian enablers.

With a new nuclear accord being finalized, the Biden administration has repeatedly guaranteed Russia that it will not face sanctions for its work on Iranian nuclear sites, even as Moscow faces a barrage of international penalties for its unprovoked war in Ukraine. Already, the Biden administration renewed a series of sanctions waivers to permit Russia’s nuclear work in Iran as part of a package of concessions meant to entice both countries into signing a new accord. These waivers were rescinded by the Trump administration in 2020 as part of its “maximum pressure” campaign on Iran.

The removal of nuclear sanctions on Iran will hand Russia’s Rosatom a financial lifeline, even as the United States and European nations seek to isolate Moscow for its ongoing assault in Ukraine. Republicans and Democrats are sounding the alarm on these concessions, criticizing the Biden administration for undermining its own pressure campaign on Moscow to ensure that a nuclear deal is inked. Critics of the deal have in recent days seized on the carveouts for Russia following a series of Free Beacon reports outlining how sanctions relief would turn Iran into a “sanctions evasion hub” for Russian president Vladimir Putin.

Will Disney Re-name their 12 Theme Parks and Resorts to Fit its ‘Adding Queerness’ Agenda?

/in , , , , , , /by

When we were growing up with Walt Disney we all viewed him, and his company, as a producer of films, cartoons and products designed for little boys and girls, their parents, and those of us who are still kids, to make them and us joyful, happy and feel safe in our innocence.

Sadly, Walt’s ideal world for the innocent has all changed dramatically into a world that is aggressively working to sexually groom innocent children.

In the video below Disney Executive Producer Latoya Raveneau says her team has implemented a “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” and is regularly “adding queerness” to children’s programming.

After learning that it is Disney Corporate policy to fully support, embrace, promote and feature gays, lesbians and non-binary characters we thought that they may want to rename their 12 parks.

We sent our suggestions to Disney President Karey Burke who wants to “target millennials” to be “LGBTQIA+“, meaning Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning, Intersex, Asexual or Ally.

Get it? Got it? Good!

Time for Disney to come out of the closet by renaming all of its 12 theme parks and resorts in support of their LGBTQIA+ queerness. You know Mickey and Minnie would now become non-binary/gender queer.

Prince and Princess are gender specific pronouns and must be replaced with a LGBTQIA+ friendly princess named _________________ (please add your suggested name in the comments section below). And prince would also be replaced by a non-binary/gender queer character named _________________________ (please add your suggested name in the comments section below).

Here’s the list of all of the Disney properties and our recommendations for new queerness names.

  1. Disneyland to Queerland in California,  or is that an oxymoron?
  2. Disney California Adventure to Disney Queer Adventure or Adventures for Queers at Disney.
  3. Magic Kingdom to Pedophile Kingdom. Note there have been multiple arrests of staff at this theme park for sex trafficking.
  4. Epcot to the Center for Adding Queerness. 
  5. Disney’s Hollywood Studios to Disney’s Grooming Children for Pedophiles Studios.
  6. Disney’s Animal Kingdom to Disney’s Gay Animals Kingdom (all animals guaranteed to be non-binary).
  7. Tokyo Disneyland to Tokyo PedoLand.
  8. Tokyo DisneySea to Tokyo DisneySee My Queerness.
  9. Disneyland Park (Paris) to Disney Pedophile Park Paris.
  10. Walt Disney Studios Park to Wilma Disney Gay Studios Park. 
  11. Hong Kong Disneyland to Hong Kong Queerland+.
  12. Shanghai Disneyland Park to Non-Binary & Gender Queer Park Shanghai.

We would also recommend changing the names of some of the Disney resorts, as an example Walt Disney World Resort (WDWR) would be renamed to fit Disney’s queerness to Wilma Disney’s Pederast & Pedophile World Playground (WDPPWP).

It is time for Latoya Raveneau, Disney CEO Bob Chapek, Katie Barnes, a black, queer, trans staffer  and Disney Corporate President Karey Burke, the mother of two queer children, to come completely out of the closet and tell us what they really think your children should be exposed to at every Disney film, cartoon, resort and property.

While we anxiously await their collectivist “adding queerness” replies we will ask our readers to boycott Disney and all of its products, services and operations.

#BOYCOTTDISNEY

Don’t forget that the U.S. Senate voted to put a protector of groomers, pedophiles and pederasts on the Supreme Court. Parents and grandparents please protect your children and grandchildren from Disney and all of their “adding queerness” friends!

Did Elon Musk Just Save Free Speech?

/in , , , , , , , /by

Elon Musk’s large purchase of Twitter could be exactly what champions of free speech have been waiting for.

Over the weekend, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey made comments that would seem to confirm some suspicions I’ve had.

For some time now, I’ve wondered if Jack has been experiencing a quiet awakening. (Those tweets on bitcoin, inflation, and Murray Rothbard haven’t gone unnoticed—at least not by us.) And comments Dorsey made Saturday indicate he, like Dr. Frankenstein, is beginning to see the monster he created.

“the days of usenet, irc, the web…even email (w PGP)…were amazing. centralizing discovery and identity into corporations really damaged the internet,” Dorsey tweeted. “I realize I’m partially to blame, and regret it.”

This realization is important but also complex. Corporate censorship has been a thorny issue for libertarians, who on one hand support free expression but on the other recognize the right of private companies such as Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube to remove content and users for whatever reasons they wish, even if it creates a culture that stifles inquiry, debate, and expression.

Unfortunately, this is precisely the culture Big Tech has created—in no small part because of corporate America’s abandonment of the Friedman Doctrine, which argued social responsibility falls on the shoulders of company shareholders, not executives. Dorsey seems to have recognized this.

It’s no exaggeration to say I’ve felt a sense of despair over Big Tech’s censorship, especially during the pandemic. There’s something dark and dystopian about a handful of corporations —working directly with the government, mind you—censoring and banning people for sharing “misinformation” (a term that increasingly appears to mean Wrongthink).

Dorsey’s reflection seemed a step in the right direction to a thorny issue—admitting the problem is the first step in the road to recovery. Then something much bigger happened.

On Monday, news broke that Tesla founder Elon Musk had purchased a 9.2 percent stake in Twitter. News of the purchase sent Twitter’s stock price soaring in premarket trading. More importantly, the purchase makes Musk the largest shareholder in the company.

This is a big deal because prior to the news of the purchase, there had been rumblings that Musk might be eyeing up Twitter to help correct the direction of free speech.

“Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy,” Musk tweeted on March 25. “Do you believe Twitter rigorously adheres to this principle?”

The responses to Musk’s poll were one-sided—more than 70 percent of the 2 million voters responded “no”—and analysts say Musk’s purchase is evidence that he intends to take an active role in how Twitter is run.

“I think he intends to go active and force change at Twitter,” Dan Ives, tech analyst at Wedbush Securities, told CNN. “This is a shot across the bow at Twitter’s board and management team to start discussions.”

This is significant because, as Dorsey alluded to, the internet has been centralized under an umbrella of a handful of corporations, which makes it easy for the government to effectively outsource censorship of problematic speech, usually under the guise of protecting Americans from “misinformation” or “hate speech.”

Up to this point, Big Tech has mostly played along with Big Government. But Dorsey and Musk seem to recognize that something is rotten in Silicon Valley. And one of them, at least, appears to be taking steps to do something about it. This is vitally important, because free expression is integral to freedom and the human pursuit of truth.

“…if we truly wish to understand why freedom is necessary in a civilized society,” the great American reporter Walter Lippman once observed, “we must begin by realizing that, because freedom of discussion improves our own opinions, the liberties of other men are our own vital necessity.”

For years now, as Big Tech censorship grew more and more aggressive, champions of liberty have insisted that the market was the solution to the problem, not the government.

Musk’s large purchase of Twitter could be exactly what we’ve been waiting for.

Ode to No Joy: A World Without Beethoven, Edison, or Van Gogh

/in , , , , , /by

I visited the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. over New Years’. I hadn’t been there in at least ten years. One of the exhibits that made a big impression on me on previous visits was no longer there – an ambulance with the windows painted black. The Nazis used ambulances like that to round-up disabled people and take them to the hospital to be killed without anybody seeing what they were doing.

Ten days ago, Oregon announced it would stop enforcing its residency requirement for assisted suicide. Now, anyone in the United States can travel to Oregon to have the government there help them kill themselves.  I’ve been tracking the assisted suicide issue for a long time, and I can tell you it is well-documented one of the motivating factors among promoters of assisted suicide is prejudice against the disabled.  It’s also well-known there are lots of cases where relatives and beneficiaries pressure people into assisted suicide. So you have to wonder how long it will be before disabled people from across the country are pressured to go to Oregon to be killed.

As for proof that prejudice against the disabled motivates assisted suicide supporters, a U.N. report two years ago noted “widespread prejudice and discrimination against persons with disabilities.” It went on to say, “From a disability rights perspective, there is a grave concern that legalizing euthanasia and assisted suicide could put at risk the lives of persons with disabilities. If assisted dying is made available for all persons with a health condition or impairment, regardless of whether they are terminally ill or not, a social assumption might follow that it is better to be dead than to live with a disability.”

Last month, disabled members of the House of Lords in the U.K. spoke out against an assisted suicide bill, firmly rejecting the notions they would be better off dead than disabled and their impairments make their lives less worth living.  A disability rights lawyer in Connecticut has been fighting for 40 years on behalf of disabled people she knows can live “productive and fulfilling lives,” lives assisted suicide would cut short.  Lives of the disabled are now being cut short in Austria, where assisted suicide became legal this year for people with debilitating conditions even though they are not terminally ill.

Austria, where Mozart was born.  It is suspected Mozart suffered from Tourette syndrome.  Imagine a world without Mozart’s ‘The Magic Flute’, or without Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.  Beethoven was deaf when he wrote it, and was actually going deaf while writing his first symphony.  Or a world where the light bulb, phonograph, or movies were never invented – Edison was also mostly deaf.  Henry Ford had a severe hearing loss, but he was still able to bring the automobile to the masses.  Van Gogh was mentally ill and suffered hallucinations and seizures, but that didn’t stop him from painting ‘The Starry Night’.  John Milton was blind when he wrote ‘Paradise Lost’.  I encountered blind lawyers, deaf lawyers, and lawyers in wheelchairs when I was practicing law.  The Austrian Paul Wittgenstein lost his right arm in World War I, but went on to a brilliant career as a concert pianist afterwards, playing specially commissioned works by Richard Strauss and other famous composers.  Imagine if he were living today and were being pressured by his fellow Austrians to end his life because he had a debilitating, non-terminal condition.

All of these stories about these and other less than perfectly formed people were brought to my attention by a wonderful disabled man, Mark Davis Pickup of Canada who, after many years in a motorized wheelchair, began to walk again.  Pickup recently wrote his mission in life is to help others bear their suffering and find hope.  Who are you to say that a man who has brought such beauty, grace, and joy to this world has no right to be here?  Or should be transported to Oregon in an ambulance with the windows painted black to be killed?  Read his blog at HumanLifeMatters.org and be enlightened.

Yale Law School Recruits and Trains Social Justice Warriors

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

Mission: Wage lawfare to effect change across every sector of society.

If practitioners of any profession would be expected to understand and honor the notion of Free Speech it would be lawyers.  In years past this would be a reasonable conclusion.  However, in so many ways traditional American values have been turned upside down and inside out!

Consider that on March 17, 2022 Fox News reported, Liberal Yale Law students derail bipartisan ‘free speech’ event in chaotic protest; police called to scene.

The report began with the following:

A bipartisan panel on civil liberties at Yale Law School was disrupted last week when more than 100 law students tried to drown out and intimidate the speakers, who eventually needed police to escort them out of the building, according to reports.

The school’s Federalist Society hosted the March 10 panel, which featured Monica Miller, of the progressive American Humanist Association, and Kristen Waggoner, of the conservative Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). About 120 student protesters showed up with signs attacking the ADF to shout down the speakers, with one reportedly recorded on audio telling a member of the conservative group that she would “literally fight you, b——.”

“It was disturbing to witness law students whipped into a mindless frenzy. I did not feel it was safe to get out of the room without security,” Waggoner told the Washington Free Beacon.

The Fox News report also included this important observation by Waggoner:

Waggoner later tweeted: “My hot take: Good lawyers win with civility & persuasion, not physical intimidation and threats of violence. We aren’t afraid to engage with people and ideas we disagree with. Apparently many of the students missed this lesson.”

It is beyond disturbing that law students at one of America’s most prestigious and influential law schools would witness the sort of madness that occurred at the event described in the Fox News report.

Many of those Yale law students will not only go on to successful careers as attorneys but become judges, leaders in major corporations and law professors.

About a dozen years ago I was invited by the Federalist Society at Yale Law School to participate in a debate about Comprehensive Immigration Reform.

The debate was spirited and fair and all who attended were courteous and respectful.  But that was then.

Open debate is at the heart of a free society and is enshrined in the First Amendment of the Constitution.

Indeed, you can think of debate as an example of intellectual capitalism.  Competing concepts are provided to the audience who then decide which concept they are willing to “buy.”

On a personal note, I have a degree in Communications Arts and Sciences and had planned teaching speech and debate on the college level when I had the opportunity to make a career change and became a federal agent.

You never understand your side of an argument more than when you have to defend it against an opponent- in fact, one of my debate coaches would have us prepare to argue both sides of a debate and then not tell us which side we would take until 30 minutes before the debate!

The Radical Left however, knows that they cannot win a fair debate so they now seek to shut down debate as they sought to do in that debate at Yale Law School in February.

Laws can be thought of as the rulebook by which society functions.  Laws control human conduct and behavior and regulate the way that corporations function.

Without laws or law enforcement anarchy follows.  However, overbearing laws and law enforcement can create a dictatorship that strips the citizens of their freedoms.

It is clear that those who write the laws, along with those practice law and those who enforce our laws are at the foundation of our society and government.

For decades radicals and globalists have sought to wrest control over our government to gain control over America and Americans and strip our nation of its sovereignty.

In point of fact, Radical Democrats Have Become ‘Adversaries of Freedom’.

When Obama was elected President, in his victory speech Obama declared, “Change has come to America!’

It would appear that today, Lawfare is being waged against America and Americans.

Lawfare has been defined as:

Legal action undertaken as part of a hostile campaign against a country or group.

We will explore how this is being implemented shortly, but first, consider that in the wake of the death of George Floyd riots broke out across the United States in which innocent people were killed and buildings were reduced to rubble and ashes in so-called “peaceful demonstrations” as reported on by supposed “news organizations.” These supposed news organizations were thinly veiled propaganda machines that could have been part of Orwell’s “Ministry of Truth” straight out of the pages of his novel, 1984.

The Radical Left began demanding “Criminal Justice Reform” and the defunding of police.”

Anarchistic enclaves sprung up in cities such as Seattle, Washington.  In short order Americans rejected this lunacy, so the Left distanced themselves from the Defund Police movement, but their goals did not change.

Radical Leftists have simply taken a different approach to achieve the same anarchistic goals.

“Bail Reform” was implemented in many cities controlled by the Leftists under the guise that this would only involve those charged with non-violent crimes.  It quickly became apparent, however, that many violent thugs were released without bail and went on to commit more violent crimes that injured or killed more innocent victims including children.

New York City, which had been the safest big city in the United States, quickly descended into violence and chaos as the newly-elected Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, implemented new bail policies and established prosecutorial discretion policies that encouraged not deterred violent crimes.

Effective law enforcement is a system with a number of important elements.  When dedicated laws enforcement officers make arrests and conduct criminal investigations, they must be supported by dedicated prosecutors who are on the same page, seeking the effective prosecution of criminals.

Today, unfortunately, in many jurisdictions, prosecutors who are supposed to work in close coordination with law enforcement officers are now acting as though they are criminal defense attorneys.

George Gascon, the infamous Los Angeles District Attorney became the veritable “poster child” of such prosecutors who sought to protect criminals and not their victims.

It has become clear that the vast majority of Americans reject the lunacy of defunding the police and many politicians who had advocated for this policy are now denying that they support this madness.  However, their goals of creating anarchy, likely in order to subsequently fill the void created by anarchy with their notion of control over government and hence society.

Now we come to the issue of “Lawfare” I raised earlier in my commentary.

A news release that was issued by Yale Law School on February 21, 2022 announced:  Yale Law School Announces Tuition-Free Scholarships for Highest Need Students.

The idea of providing free college education for American students is a concept I personally approve of.  Children growing up in poverty are not likely to be able to afford tuition for college or to attend graduate schools and therefore scholarship for such students of appropriate academic standing could be a way to help combat endemic poverty.

Yale Law School is not, however being altruistic in this case- it is clear that their actual goal is to enlist an army of lawyers who will practice Lawfare.

Consider this final paragraph in that Yale news release:

“At Yale Law School, we prepare lawyers and leaders to face the most critical challenges of the future and effect change across every sector of society,” said Gerken. “We are committed to ensuring every student can fully immerse themselves in our vibrant intellectual experience and has the tools and resources they need to leave their mark on the world. The Hurst Horizon Scholarship Program cements our commitment to access and equity for all.”

The motivation is clear- Yale Law School is not as benevolent it may may appear to be.  Yale Law School is clearly determined to create an army of lawyers who are literally indebted to Yale who will engage in “Lawfare”

In his famous Iron Curtain Speech Winston Churchill delivered on March 5, 1946 at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri  Churchill spoke of:

“…communist fifth columns that were operating throughout western and southern Europe. Drawing parallels with the disastrous appeasement of Hitler prior to World War II, Churchill advised that in dealing with the Soviets there was “nothing which they admire so much as strength, and there is nothing for which they have less respect than for military weakness.”

That concern voiced by Churchill about “communist fifth columns” (and other adversaries of freedom), should also have included the United States.

VIDEO: Parents Nationwide, They’re on Kids’ Side

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Waukesha, Wisconsin conservatives went three-for-three in Tuesday’s school board elections, shutting out the progressive “slate” opposing them. A third of the nine-member school board stands for election each year, with the seats going to the three candidates who receive the most votes. Current incumbents finished in 5th and 6th place on election day; the third incumbent was eliminated in the February primary. “The Waukesha community — and others around our county — have spoken loud and clear,” said newly elected school board member and Waukesha dad Mark Borowski. “They want change, so we are charged with giving it to them.”

Recent elections in the Milwaukee suburb are only the latest skirmish in a nationwide but local war for control of education. When parents became de facto teachers during the unscientific Covid school closures, they saw firsthand how the Left has captured education, and now they’re standing up and fighting back. FRC Action Vice President Brent Keilen noted “a host of issues” galvanizing parent engagement. “Critical Race Theory has gotten a lot of attention, but it’s not just that. It’s masks on students… reopening of schools… the sexuality issue.” In response, the Justice Department “tried to dub these parents as domestic terrorists,” he continued — an unforced error earning more backlash than Will Smith’s slap.

Keilen said increased parental engagement was first evident last summer in Texas, and has resurfaced again and again in Iowa, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, and Virginia (who can forget the surprising Republican sweep). Public schools are even facing criticism up and down the Left Coast. In Florida, state officials were emboldened to ignore the Left’s hysterics and pass a law guaranteeing Parental Rights in Education, which is already working to remove immoral books from libraries and classrooms. Key to that engagement are resources like FRC Action’s School Board Boot Camp, which help train parents to run for local school board.

Parents aren’t fighting alone; churches have engaged, too. “Ten, fifteen years ago, the church was defined a lot by apathy,” said David McDonald, global lead for the Third Education Revolution Team. Now, “the church is awakening to a lot of the problems.” The evidence is that “moms… are showing up at school board meetings;” time was when school board meetings had virtually no community interaction.

For McDonald, the “fight being carried out for the heart and soul of America” goes deeper than personality or politics, or even ideology. At root is a spiritual battle. He cited John 8:44, where Jesus says “the devil… does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” Today’s application, said McDonald, is that those who lie about biological sex, good legislation, or anything else are simply behaving as Satan does. Knowing this, he said, “gives me comfort, because we need to remember who the enemy is.”

Churches have engaged because education is critical for the church. McDonald pointed out “the first two major educational reformations” accompanied spiritual reformations. Reformation Christianity in particular has always sought to promote education so that every person can read the Bible for himself or herself. As much as the try to ignore it, universities like Harvard and Yale were initially founded to train ministers of the gospel.

Paul exhorts Timothy, “what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also” (2 Timothy 2:2). McDonald warned secular universities practices their own model of teacher and disciple, capable of propagating itself indefinitely. If Christians aren’t engaged, the secular culture will be. That’s why McDonald is partnering with FRC’s Center for Biblical Worldview for a webinar on reclaiming education for the gospel (which you can register, for free). The Bible teaches that “apathy invades,” said McDonald. “Even in Judges… another generation that comes after [has] to learn these things again.”

We Must Acknowledge the Damage Inflicted by Transgender Ideology

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

There are at least 24 international LGBTQIA+ awareness days in addition to Pride Month. Some of these days are Drag Day, Pronouns Day, Trans Awareness Week and Month, and Trans Parent Day. No other subject known to humanity has been afforded such a salute on our yearly calendars as the LGBTQIA+ issue. Of course, these occasions provide political proponents ample opportunity to commemorate the day with a legislative agenda.

This was no less true last week on International Transgender Day of Visibility, which is now turning into days and weeks, with comments and legislative directives continuing from the White House, the Department of Justice (DOJ), the State Department, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), just to name a few.

On the day, President Biden stated, “Affirming a transgender child’s identity is one of the best things a parent, teacher, or doctor can do to help keep children from harm.”

Biden’s misleading statement that transgender procedures are the best practice for children was soon followed by a letter addressed to state attorneys general from the DOJ’s Civil Right Division. The DOJ’s letter basically stated that withholding hormones and surgical procedures from children is tantamount to bullying and should therefore be considered a civil rights issue.

Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke said, “The Department of Justice is committed to ensuring that all children are able to live free from discrimination, abuse and harassment.” She continued, “Today’s letter reaffirms state and local officials’ obligation to ensure that their laws and policies do not undermine or harm the health and safety of children, regardless of a child’s gender identity.” In the letter, Clarke claimed, “gender-affirming care for transgender youth is not only appropriate but often necessary for their physical and mental health.” Necessary?

Then, to give the appearance that these statements are based in sound empirical evidence, SAMHSA released remarks declaring that LGBTQIA+ youth “deserve evidence-based care.”

To this last statement, I couldn’t agree more. The youth of America do deserve evidence-based care. They deserve to know the long-term physical and psychological effects of delaying puberty through pharmaceuticals, taking the opposite sex’s hormones, or surgically removing their body parts. They deserve to know about the quality of evidence and whether there is enough to justify a claim that these invasive practices will bring peace to their mental distress.

The problem is, there’s more evidence to show the harms of transgender “medicine” than to support the claim touted by politicians and big medical and mental health groups that these practices are saving lives. After years of research, we can see where it’s possible to say that there are medical procedures that save the life of a cardiac patient. This is not the case with gender-affirming care, and yet claims are made all the time that trans-identifying children are saved by removing healthy organs and pumping them with hormones. The basis of these claims comes from the results of web survey data that is used to capture attitudes about these practices.

This is a profoundly dangerous premise for such a radical physiological intervention. It must take nerve for advocacy groups, practitioners, and politicians to rest their careers and, more importantly, the lives of American children and families on scientific evidence thinner than rice paper. One thing is clear, the scientific literature on transgenderism shows that there’s more opinion from big mental health and medical groups than there is sound scientific evidence to undergird the idea that these practices benefit children.

Among the internationally recognized 24+ days and full month dedicated to LGBTQIA+ issues, there’s no governmentally sanctioned day that recognizes the harms done to people who underwent gender transition procedures or who were delayed in receiving the proper care that is truly necessary to address the real issues behind gender dysphoria.

When the house of cards that built the transgender ideology falls, we will need at least one day to recognize the growing number of children and families who have been ignored, experimented on, and have experienced permanent damage to their minds and bodies from those who lead the charge towards destruction.

In the words of Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke, “Thank you for your continued commitment to improving the well-being of children and their families.”

The Environmental Downside of Electric Vehicles

/in , , , , , , , /by

An electric vehicle requires six times the mineral inputs of a comparable internal combustion engine vehicle, according to the International Energy Agency.

At one time, “Saving the Environment” and “Fighting Climate Change” were synonymous. That is no longer true. The quest for Clean Energy through electric vehicles (EVs) epitomizes “the end justifies the means.”

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), an electric vehicle requires six times the mineral inputs of a comparable internal combustion engine vehicle (ICE). EV batteries are very heavy and are made with some exotic, expensive, toxic, and flammable materials.

The primary metals in EV batteries include Nickel, Lithium, Cobalt, Copper and Rare Earth metals (Neodymium and Dysprosium). The mining of these materials, their use in manufacturing and their ultimate disposal all present significant environmental challenges. Ninety percent of the ICE lead-acid batteries are recycled while only five percent of the EV lithium-ion batteries are.

Oil has been so demonized that we tend to overlook some of its positive traits as a power source relative to the battery power of EVs. The power for an internal combustion engine, oil, is a homogeneous commodity found abundantly around the world (especially in our own backyard). In 2019, the four top oil producing nations were the United States, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Canada. In contrast, the power for EVs is dependent on a mixture of diverse commodities from just a handful of third world countries.

In spite of the environmental hysteria about oil drilling, the surface area disturbed is relatively small since the oil is extracted from under the ground. In contrast, many of the materials prominent in the clean energy revolution are obtained through open-pit horizontal mining which is extremely damaging to wide areas of the environment.

Nickel, a major component of the EV batteries, is found just below the topsoil in the Rainforests of Indonesia and the Philippines. As a result, the nickel is extracted using horizontal surface mining that results in extensive environmental degradation: deforestation and removal of the top layer of soil. It should be noted that Rainforests play a major role in “fighting climate change” by removing Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. The environmental battle cry “Save the Rainforests” needs to be replaced with a new slogan reminiscent of this one from the Vietnam War: “It was necessary to destroy the village in order to save it.” Here is the new environmental bumper sticker for all Clean Energy EVs: “It was necessary to destroy the rainforest in order to save the planet”.

Over half of the world’s Lithium reserves are found in three South American countries that border the Andes Mountains: Chile, Argentina and Bolivia. These countries are collectively known as the “Lithium Triangle”.

According to the Institute for Energy Research, Lithium is found in salt flats in very arid areas which complicates the mining process. A multi-mineral mixture containing Lithium is removed from beneath the salt flats. The Lithium extraction from the mixture is a lengthy, 12 to 18 months, evaporation process that is water intensive. Each ton of lithium produced requires 500,000 gallons of water. Besides the discarded mineral salt mixture, the process can result in water and soil contamination plus a depleted water table.

It should be noted that the United States is 4th in total Lithium reserves behind the Lithium Triangle countries. However, NIMBY (Not In My Backyard) environmental protests to “Save the Planet” have stymied efforts to develop the US Lithium market. It seems that our provincial “Earth-Firsters” want to maintain a pristine US, but have no problem turning a blind eye to the environmental exploitation of third world countries.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) produces 70% of the world’s Cobalt. While there is no shortage of environmental issues with its Cobalt mining, the overriding problem here is human rights: dangerous working conditions and the use of child labor. Cobalt is a toxic metal. Prolonged exposure and inhalation of Cobalt dust can lead to health issues of the eyes, skin, and lungs. Because Cobalt can be easily extracted from the ground by hand, small scale, bare-bones “artisanal” mines are common. The simplicity of the operation discourages/negates the need for occupational safety measures and encourages the use of child labor.

According to the Wilson Center, “small-scale mining in the DRC involves people of all ages, including children, obligated to work under harsh conditions. Of the 255,000 Congolese mining for cobalt, 40,000 are children, some as young as six years.”

Amnesty International has also made similar comments. “Thousands of children mine cobalt in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Despite the potentially fatal health effects of prolonged exposure to cobalt, adult and child miners work without even the most basic protective equipment.”

The “suspect” (bad) Cobalt is mixed in with the “legitimate” (good) Cobalt that comes from the large-scale mines that have the required safety standards and employ only adults. This co-mingling of “good” and “bad” Cobalt serves to mask the human rights abuses in the country’s mining operations.

As it turns out, however, this charade is largely unnecessary since the majority of the DRC’s cobalt mines are owned or financed by Chinese firms.

Eighty percent of the DRC’s Cobalt ultimately ends up in China, a country not known for being a champion of human rights (the Uyghurs?). So, what is more important: Fighting Human Rights Abuses or Fighting Climate Change?

Chile is the leading producer of the world’s Copper. The vast majority of Chile’s Copper comes from open-pit/strip mines. This type of mining negatively affects vegetation, topsoil, wildlife habitats, and groundwater. The next three largest producers of copper are Peru, China, and the infamous Democratic Republic of the Congo. Number five happens to be the United States. Several states in particular, such as Minnesota and Arizona, show promise as new sources for domestic copper using underground mining instead of open-pit mining.

However, on January 26th, the Biden Administration canceled two copper mining leases in Minnesota. Commenting on the matter, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said, “the Department of the Interior takes seriously our obligations to steward public lands and waters on behalf of all Americans.” This decision was applauded by the strongest supporters of America’s quest for Clean Energy: Environmentalists and Democrats.

In December, President Biden issued an Executive Order saying the United States government will “provide a strong foundation for American businesses to compete and win globally in the clean energy economy while creating well paying, union jobs [except in mining] at home. Today’s executive action further reinforces the President’s directive to Buy American [except for clean energy raw materials] and ensure that equity [in the US, but not in Third World countries] and environmental justice [in the US, but nowhere else] are key considerations.”

For all the “happy talk” about Clean Energy, our actions simply show a superficial commitment. We don’t want to do the heavy lifting that it will take to make the transition to Clean Energy. Our role in the Clean Energy revolution will be limited to the final assembly of electric vehicles. But hey, that is good enough for our virtue signalling Earth First environmentalists and politicians.

What is needed, however, is an honest and comprehensive evaluation of the entire life cycle of clean energy from raw materials through disposition. There are pros and cons to all forms of energy. To date, all we have heard are the benefits of clean energy. It is now time to highlight the true costs of clean energy which must include the negative societal and environmental impact as well.

Biden Rolling Out the Welcome Mat for New Border-Jumpers

/in , , , , , , , , /by

New details are emerging about what will happen at the southern border once COVID restrictions are lifted on illegal immigration.  The Feds are expecting 18,000 border-jumpers a day.  That’s more than a half a million a month.

Three states have sued to get the COVID restrictions reinstated.  In addition, Texas Governor Greg Abbott said he will  bus illegal aliens to the steps of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said he will send them to Joe Biden’s home state of Delaware, as both reacted to the expected surge in illegal immigration.

So, some are fighting the Feds, but the fix is in.  All that talk about addressing root causes of illegal immigration was just talk.  The Biden administration is rolling out the welcome mat for the new wave of lawless border-jumpers.

A leaked DHS memo shows the administration will use “broadscale release mechanisms” to open the floodgates.  In plain English, this means illegal aliens will be released on their own recognizance or with a notice to appear which, everybody knows, is often ignored.  This memo follows a long list of policy changes the Biden administration has made to open the border since it’s been in office, changes I’ve documented in previous commentaries.

But the administration isn’t done yet; the Feds want to open the door even wider to illegal aliens. The administration is in discussions to roll out a smartphone app to do pre-screening BEFORE illegal aliens jump the border.  Plans are also being laid to spend big on illegal aliens once they arrive:  $69 million for medical support at 63 locations; $32 million for medical claims; $29 million for a new Office of the Chief Medical Officer; $140 million for a new processing center; $97 million for flights and ground transportation; $24 million for humanitarian relief necessitated by opening the border; $25 million for emergency family shelter beds; $527 million for alternatives to detention; $12 million for victim assistance necessitated by causing the immigrant crime problem in the first place; $375 million to administer looser asylum standards; and $389 million to process the application backlog caused by its own policies.  By the way, there are more than 8 million pending applications – 8 MILLION. And healthcare for detained illegal aliens cost U.S. taxpayers $316 million last year.

The Biden administration is releasing single adult aliens into the interior by the hundreds every day.  They’re given a cellphone so they can be tracked, but there’s nothing the Feds can do if the aliens toss the phones.  The administration is also allowing illegal alien criminals to be released into the general population after they finish their sentences, instead of taking them into custody for deportation as federal law requires.  The Biden administration had wanted to limit deportation to serious criminals, but a court partially blocked that for now.  Finally, as previously reported, the administration is moving to take immigration courts out of the asylum process and have low-level bureaucrats quickly rubber-stamp asylum claims on the spot when illegal aliens arrive, without any serious examination.

A lot of these new changes ignore federal laws passed by Congress.  So where is Congress in all this?  Why aren’t the House and Senate holding oversight hearings to protect their power and insist Joe Biden faithfully execute the laws, as he is constitutionally required to do?  Oh, I forgot. They’re controlled by Democrats, too.

A reckoning is coming.
