Electric cars are not Green

November 24, 2022 | Electric cars are not Green  | The claims of politicians about electric cars are built on magical thinking. Marketing for electric vehicles never mentions the fact that 500,000 lbs of minerals and rock has to be mined somewhere on Earth in order to make a single electric car vehicle battery. Mining is an extremely polluting and environmentally destructive activity that requires enormous amounts of fossil fuel.

Another inconvenient fact is that mining usually takes place in nations with the least environmental regulations and ingredients for batteries are often mined in places that enslave people and use child labor.

Our energy systems are being designed by bureaucrats instead of by engineers. This means more expensive and less reliable energy, with more harmful environmental impacts. -JD

A sovereign state bank in Tennessee

November 22, 2022 | A sovereign state bank in Tennessee | The Solari Report |

Catherine Austin Fitts and Tennessee Senator Frank Niceley discuss the strengths and benefits of a Sovereign State Bank and bullion depository that could become a model for other USA States. The conversation examines strategic investment, precious metals, and how local banks and credit unions can counter the threat of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). -JD

 

CAF states, “unless we have a sovereign state government, protecting sovereign individuals who are free to transact, including transact privately, you know, without invasive technology, we will have no sovereignty and then you’re talking about 100% central control by the bankers…we’re talking about a technology that in combined with other systems, can turn your home, your car and your community into a digital concentration camp. We’re talking about the end of human freedom and centrally controlled, through the financial system. So we must have states and citizens and with them community banks and other financial institutions that have the ability to protect free transactions.”

House Resolution Introduced to Audit Ukraine Funds

November 21, 2022 | House Resolution Introduced to Audit Ukraine Funds  |

H. Res. 1482, introduced on November 17th in the House of Representatives, directs Joe Biden, the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of State to provide copies of all documents related to Ukraine funding between January 20, 2021 to November 15, 2022.  These documents are to include notes, telephone communications, charts, tables, emails, audio recordings, financial statements and all related materials.

So far Congress has spent more than $60 BILLION dollars on Ukraine and is seeking to add an additional $50 BILLION during the lame duck session. Recent revelations have revealed that Ukraine funding is linked to the FTX cryptocurrency exchange scandal underscoring the need for an immediate accounting, transparent investigation, and halt on any more spending. -JD

Digital Currency Trial Announcement

November 19, 2022 | Digital Currency Trial Announcement  |

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York announced a 12-week digital currency platform trial. In collaboration with some of the largest financial institutions in the world including Wells Fargo and Citibank, members of the U.S. banking community will be running a proof of concept (PoC) project. The PoC will explore the feasibility of digital money on what is known as the regulated liability network (RLN).

In this trial commercial banks will issue digital money, or tokens, representing their customer’s deposits. They will utilize a shared multi-entry distributed ledger in order to settle up with central bank reserves. Undetected by the general population this trial is very important for the advancement of global banking and is a critical first step towards a cashless society.

As many have pointed out government controlled digital currency would mean the end of liberty and freedom.  If the government and Central Banks have the ability to control and monitor every transaction, they just as easily could shut off your ability to buy anything. One way to reject this system is to use #CashEveryDay. -JD

Maine Lobstering Industry Takes on NOAA and Wind Farms

October 22, 2022 | Maine Lobstering Industry Takes on NOAA and Wind Farms | https://www.mainelobstermen.org

Those following politics understand too well that government is better at causing problems than solving them. A case in point is in Maine where the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has attempted to place devastating restrictions on the hard working men and women of the iconic lobstering industry.

Protesting Lobstermen call on Maine to join lawsuit against NOAA

Behind the narrative of protecting right whale entanglement ( that hasn’t happened in 20 years ) is a well funded wind farm industry that apparently has their eyes on the gulf of Maine. Notably, offshore wind and shipping industries are not subject to the same strict regulations as the fishing industry.

Maine Congressional delegation backed HUGE spending increases for agency threatening lobster industry

Lobstermen launch campaign to save Maine industry; new threats on the horizon

Coming from an administration and agency that funds programs to intentionally  pollute the atmosphere, it’s highly unlikely that politicians and special interests are being entirely honest about their motives or love of whales.

‘You have failed us’: Maine lobstermen face federal regulators over new rules

Court Agrees to Fast-Track Maine Lobstering Group’s Appeal of Whale Rules

Massachusetts and Rhode Island got bamboozled into wind farms by politicians and special interests groups and it looks like California is next.

From WhyNotWind: “Billions of dollars have gone into erecting the wind and solar “traps” and trying to convince people there exists a clean, free energy source.  The result is devastated landscapes, expensive, unreliable power and no more than a small fraction of the power promised is ever generated.”

The fact is, wind farms are not clean or “green” and they are not going to be able to meet the energy needs of our nation.

The hard working men and women of Maine’s lobster industry don’t want to hurt whales. They just want to earn a living as they have done for generations, support their communities and feed their families.  -JD

Missouri Joins Growing List of States Divesting from BlackRock

Missouri Joins Growing List of States Divesting from BlackRock

More States are divesting from investment company BlackRock, Inc. due to the firm’s ESG (environmental, social, and governance) political agenda.  Missouri State Treasurer Scott Fitzpatrick said that the financial interests of Missouri state employees who rely on their investment funds for retirement are the State’s priority.

Other States that have divested from BlackRock are  Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming. -JD

 

“We should not allow asset managers such as BlackRock, who have demonstrated that they will prioritize advancing a woke political agenda above the financial interests of their customers, to continue speaking on behalf of the state of Missouri. It is past time that all investors recognize the massive fiduciary breach that is taking place before our eyes, and do something about it.”

The DoD announced on October 14th, another $725 million in ‘assistance’ to Ukraine. The Biden Administration seems to be determined to bankrupt the American economy as BILLIONS have been stolen from US taxpayers to fund Washington’s proxy war with Russia.

As a result of reckless government spending, inflation, homelessness, and domestic problems are escalating.  -JD

Tell Congress: STOP FUNDING WAR!

Link To DEMAND NO MORE so-called “aid” to Ukraine HERE

Ungrateful Zelensky and Washington bureaucrats expect American taxpayers to keep funding their endless wars. Say NO!

As more information comes to light regarding the CV-19 SCANDAL, the political class seems to be working diligently to avoid accountability for their unnecessary masking, lockdowns, ‘testing,’ closing ‘nonessential’ businesses, the experimental (and fatal) injections and destroying the economy.

D.C. bureaucrats seem to be shifting gears to start more wars and steal more American taxpayer money to avoid the inevitable: accountability for their unconstitutional CV-19 policies.

Bob Menendez and Lindsay Graham are big time cheerleaders of Zelensky’s war and have met with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen to pledge American support for Taiwan.  WTH? We have enough challenges here at home to deal with.  Working class Americans do not want war.

Lindsay Graham 202-224-5972     Bob Menendez  202-224-4744   STOP funding for wars.  START negotiating for peace. -JD

Nothing But Welfare Queens: American Aid to Zelensky and Tsai Ing-wen

by | Oct 13, 2022 | The Libertarian Institute

As it pertains to the American public, Ukraine’s response to the Russian invasion can be summed up with two words: “Zelensky demands.”

To date, Washington elites and their politicians have been happy to provide—at public expense—lining their own pockets in the process.

As of this writing, U.S. aid for Ukraine has reached approximately $67.5 billion, a figure greater than Russia’s entire 2021 military budget. According to the State Department, this support includes $15.2 billion in direct military assistance. The support comes although 60-70% of lethal aid never reaches the front lines, according to a now-redacted CBS interview with on-the-ground activists.

Not only is the American taxpayer supporting much of the Ukrainian military, it is also supporting the Ukrainian government. The same working class Americans who were deemed “nonessential” in 2020—who saw their businesses shuttered and burned down—now have to pay entitlement programs both at home and in Ukraine. As of September 30, 2022, the U.S. has provided $13 billion in “direct budget support,” which is ostensibly used;

…to pay government salaries, meet pension obligations, maintain hospitals and schools, and protect critical infrastructure[,] support continuity operations at the national, regional, and local levels, support for [sic] the health sector, agricultural production, civil society, [and enable] programs to hold Russia and its forces accountable for their actions in Ukraine.

Biden Administration Showers More Money on Ukraine As US National Debt Climbs Passed $31 Trillion

October 5, 2022 | Image Source

Out-of-control government spending and borrowing continues, as the  Biden administration added $625 MILLION to the BILLIONS already spent for Washington’s proxy war with Russia in Ukraine.

For the first time in history, the US national debt has passed $31 TRILLION.   Meanwhile, Ukraine’s acting president Zelensky signed a decree ruling out peace talks with Putin, as he is apparently committed to an endless war, so long as DC politicians and other nations will fund the conflict.

The truth is, Americans don’t support Biden’s endless war and uncontrolled spending by Congress. There are countless economic, environmental, and social challenges here in the USA that need to be addressed. -JD
