Biden DHS docs suggest Trump supporters, military and religious people are likely violent terror threats

BIDEN’S CONTROVERSIAL DHS ‘EXPERTS’ PANEL SHUTTERED AFTER BEING SLAPPED WITH LAWSUIT

A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) advisory board suggested that supporters of former President Donald Trump – as well as those who served in the military or are religious – have a greater possibility of posing domestic terrorism risks, according to internal files obtained by America First Legal (AFL).

Named the “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group,” the now-disbanded board was created in September 2023 to provide DHS with “expert” analysis on subjects like terrorism and the trafficking of certain controlled substances like fentanyl.

The panel, according to the conservative legal nonprofit’s findings, included former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan, both of whom signed onto an October 2020 letter falsely dismissing Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop as Russian disinformation.

The documents revealed that the board suggested “supporters of the former president” accounted for “most of the Domestic Terrorism threat” in the U.S.

“There is a political backdrop to all of this. It seems that most of the Domestic Terrorism threat now comes from supporters of the former president. It is not like you want a political advantage, but people have attacked the government and its institutions for the last six years,” meeting notes from the board stated.

Citing unnamed “researchers,” the board also claimed that specific traits – like those who served “in the military” or are “religious” – are “indicators of extremists and terrorism” that the U.S. should be “more worried” about.

“If you ask researchers to dive into indicators of extremists and terrorism, they might indicate being in the military or religious,” the board said. “This being identified as an indicator suggests we should be more worried about those. We need the space to talk about it honestly.”

The files were released Friday as the second installment of AFL’s “#DeepStateDiaries,” which was described by the organization as a “multi-part series of releases including newly obtained documents.”

“These shocking records reveal apparent unabashed partisanship on this Deep State committee,” AFL Executive Director Gene Hamilton told Fox News Digital. “All efforts to weaponize the federal government against political opponents of the ruling regime should be stopped. We look forward to exposing more records in the coming days.”

Echoing Hamilton in a statement shared on social media, AFL President Stephen Miller said the documents “reveal a shocking Biden plan to mobilize government power against Trump supporters ahead of the election.”

Asked whether the White House belies Trump supporters, military personnel, or those who are religious pose a significant threat to the U.S., White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates told Fox News Digital, “No.”

Bates referred Fox News to DHS for more information. DHS did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

On Thursday, AFL released documents pertaining to how the board discussed efforts to “get into local communities in a non-threatening way.”

Certain efforts outlined in the files released Thursday showed how the board hoped to enhance its ability to collect information about Americans.

The group of “experts” said the “See Something, Say Something” campaign following the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City fell short because “Americans have an ambivalent feeling of telling on each other.”

“We see people who go off the rails. We need people to say something. We need a nationwide campaign to push it to the locals,” the meeting notes stated.

“To get a mother or teacher to come forward, it needs to be a public health catcher’s mitt,” one board member noted.

Following its successful lawsuit on behalf of former Acting Director of the United States National Intelligence Ric Grenell, AFL announced last month that the Biden administration had decided to “disband” the group.

Ex-CDC Chief Warns of High-Mortality Bird Flu Pandemic Caused by Gain of Function Research.

By Jack Montgomery

Former U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Director Dr. Robert Redfield has expressed concerns over a potential avian influenza pandemic caused by reckless gain-of-function research. Redfield stressed he is “less concerned” by the possibility of bird flu jumping between species than he is by an out-of-control manmade virus.

“I’m much more concerned that this will happen in the laboratory, through gain of function research. I can create this virus literally in weeks to months by using gain of function research,” Redfield warned.

“I know exactly what amino acids I have to change, because in 2012, against my recommendation, the scientists that did these experiments actually published them. So the recipe for how to make bird flu highly infectious for humans is already out there. All you have to do is look at it.”

Redfield has previously expressed disappointment in Dr. Anthony Fauci’s resistance to investigating whether the Chinese coronavirus pandemic was caused by a leaked gain-of-function virus—possibly because he funded such research.

HIGH FATALITY RATE. 

Dr. Redfield highlighted the high mortality associated with bird flu when it infects humans, estimating a fatality rate between 25 percent and 50 percent. He noted a rise in bird flu among 27 mammalian species including not only poultry animals like chicken, ducks, and turkeys, but also cattle in the United States.

Highlighting the virus’s spread to mammals such as dolphins, seals, bears, and cats, Redfield noted, “As the virus adapts to these new receptors, it inches closer to being able to infect humans.”

Health officials have detected bird flu in pasteurized milk from infected dairy cattle, and it has already transferred to at least one Texas dairy worker.

The Joe Biden regime is already investing millions in an mRNA vaccine for bird flu.

The End of Egypt’s Ptolemy Dynasty

Caesarion, son of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar

Episode 48 The Grand Finale

The History of Ancient Egypt

Professor Robert Brier

Film Review

This final lecture ends with Cleopatra’s children. I found this somewhat disappointing as it omits roughly 2,000 years of Egyptian history.

Following Cleopatra’s suicide, Octavian (the future Augustus Caesar), had her son Caesarion killed as he was about to sail to India to start a new dynasty. Cleopatra’s other three children were sent to Rome to be raised by Octavia (Mark Anthony’s widow).

Cleopatra Celine, who was 14, eventually married King JubaII of Mauratania. They had a son Ptolemy and a daughter Drusilla, who married Antonius Felix, the governor of Judea.

Cleopatra Celine’s twin brother Ptolemy set up a dye industry making purple dye from Murax shell. When he went to  Rome to visit his cousin Caliguila, who had him killed because his cloak was too purple.

Brier concludes the series by listing gifts modern civilization owes to ancient Egypt, including the 365-day calendar, paper (from papyrus), monotheism, the pope’s mitre (the white crown of Upper Egypt), the bishop’s crook (Egypt’s royal symbols of power), religious trinities, Madonna and child imagery (from Isis suckling Horace) and stone building technology.

Finland Rolls Out Bird Flu Vaccines

 

Areas where fur farms suffered from a bird flu outbreak in 2023

Map of areas where mink farms were found to have a bird flu infection

Finland will become the first nation to offer bird flu vaccinations as it plans to roll out the shots next week to high-risk workers amid rising concerns over the virus jumping from animals to people.

Officials in the Nordic nation say 10,000 doses will be administered to those working closely with animals, such as poultry and fur farm workers.

Patients will receive two doses of the shot at least a week apart, with vaccines to be distributed once they are delivered from stockpiles in central Europe.

The bird flu virus is currently not well-adapted to infect people, with the CDC saying the risk to humans is ‘low,’ but experts fear this could change if it undergoes new mutations, saying every additional infection outside of birds poses a risk.

Globally, at least 11 humans have tested positive for bird flu across four countries so far this year. Cambodia has the most cases, with five, followed by three in the US, which is currently experiencing a major bird flu outbreak among cows.

No human infections have been recorded in Finland as of yet.

But the country ordered the roll out after an outbreak of the virus on 27 fur farms in the country last year, including those housing mink and foxes.

Although no humans were infected by the virus, the cases did lead to 485,000 animals being culled to stop the disease from spreading.

In its campaign, Finland will offer a vaccine targeting the H5 protein on the virus, which officials say will likely work well against H5N1 infections.

The vaccines will be shipped from the Australian company CSL Seqirus as part of a European Union campaign to procure 40million doses in 15 countries.

The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) said in a statement: ‘The vaccine will be offered to those aged 18 or over who are at increased risk of contracting avian influenza due to their work or other circumstances.’

This includes those working on fur and poultry farms, as well as lab technicians who handle bird flu samples and veterinarians working in areas with fur farms.

People who work in sanctuaries caring for wild birds, on farms or those who clean slaughterhouses and animal housing will also be offered the vaccine.

If a human infection is detected, the shot would also be administered to the person’s close contacts, officials added.

Health officials say the vaccine is expected to trigger sufficient antibodies to protect against a bird flu infection.

A previous study involving 3,400 people found 90 percent of those under 60 years old and 80 percent of those over 60 years old had antibody levels that ‘would protect them against H5N1’. Studies have also shown the vaccine is safe to use.

In the US, a total of 4.8million doses of a bird flu vaccine are set to be delivered by late summer — although there are currently no plans to distribute them.

America’s department of agriculture reports 118 dairy cow herds across 12 states have confirmed H5N1 cases and the three human cases were in people with direct contact with infected cattle.

They experienced swelling of the eyes and respiratory symptoms.

Despite the spread, the CDC said the risk to humans is low.

The outbreak in cattle is unprecedented, and has raised concerns the virus could be a step closer to spreading to humans.

But H5N1 has been causing a major outbreak in the animal world for months — infecting everything from foxes to raccoons and even dolphins and seals.

Finnish officials said they want to roll out the vaccine as soon as possible to minimize the risk of the bird flu spreading to humans.

They said the country faces a heightened risk because most of its fur farms are outdoors where animals kept in them can come into contact with wild animals — raising their risk of contracting the virus and passing it onto humans.

Minks pose a particular risk because the animals carry similar receptors in their lungs to humans, meaning they could act as ‘mixing vessels’ for spreading the virus to humans.

New York Times editorial board calls on Biden to drop out

Kyle Mazza, Anadolu via Getty Images

by Lauren Irwin

The New York Times editorial board called on President Biden to suspend his campaign after his shaky debate performance against former President Trump on Thursday.

“Mr. Biden has said that he is the candidate with the best chance of taking on this threat of tyranny and defeating it. His argument rests largely on the fact that he beat Mr. Trump in 2020,” the board wrote. “That is no longer a sufficient rationale for why Mr. Biden should be the Democratic nominee this year.”

The 81-year-old Biden appeared on the Atlanta, Ga., debate stage with a hoarse voice and a slight cough. The issue of his age and mental competency has been a sore point for his campaign and the debate was seen as an opportunity to show the country he is still fit to serve.

His performance sparked widespread fear among Democrats, and reignited the conversation about whether Biden should step down and allow someone else to take on Trump.

Biden’s campaign and the White House have said he’s not going anywhere. The Times said it was obvious Biden is not the man he was four years ago, calling him “the shadow of a great public servant.”

“He struggled to explain what he would accomplish in a second term. He struggled to respond to Mr. Trump’s provocations. He struggled to hold Mr. Trump accountable for his lies, his failures and his chilling plans,” the Times said. “More than once, he struggled to make it to the end of a sentence.”

“There is no reason for the party to risk the stability and security of the country by forcing voters to choose between Mr. Trump’s deficiencies and those of Mr. Biden,” the board said.

Still, if Biden does not drop out, the board said it would endorse him over Trump.

Calling for a new nominee this late in the campaign is a decision not to be taken lightly but it reflects the seriousness of Trump’s threat to American democracy, the board argued.

Similarly, The Economist said that Biden should step aside and make room for someone new, reiterating its statement from November 2022, when the outlet said Biden should not seek reelection. On Friday, the Economist argued his “last and greatest public service” should be suspending his campaign.

After Biden’s misstep on Thursday, he held a campaign stop in North Carolina where he sought to tame the panic. He delivered a more energized speech Friday, but the Times argued its not enough to save him.

“Mr. Biden answered an urgent question on Thursday night. It was not the answer that he and his supporters were hoping for. But if the risk of a second Trump term is as great as he says it is — and we agree with him that the danger is enormous — then his dedication to this country leaves him and his party only one choice.”

Suspending his campaign, the Times said, is “the best service that Biden can provide to a country that he has nobly served for so long.”

Supreme Court Ruling Could Overturn Obstruction Charges Against Jan 6 Protestors

The decision is poised to upend hundreds of cases stemming from the January 6 riot, including Donald Trump 's election fraud trial

 

The Supreme Court ruled that there are limits on charging January 6 rioters with  obstruction, in a case that will impact former President Trump’s 2020 federal election interference case.

The 6-3 decision could upend hundreds of cases stemming from the January 6 riot, including Donald Trump‘s election fraud trial.

The court’s ruling makes it harder for January 6 defendants to be charged with obstructing an official proceeding – which carries up to 20 years in prison.

That is among the four charges facing former President Donald Trump in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s federal case.

The decision is poised to upend hundreds of cases stemming from the January 6 riot, including Donald Trump ‘s election fraud trial

At least 152 people have been convicted of obstructing an official proceeding, according to the Associated Press, a crime punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

In all, the charge has been brought against about 350 people accused of trying to prevent Congress certifying Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory.

The case was brought by former Boston police officer Joseph Fischer who was indicted on seven charges following the 6 riot including one count for anyone who ‘corruptly … obstructs, influences and impedes any official proceeding.’

Justice John Roberts, who wrote the opinion Friday, limited the ‘obstruction of Congress’ charge that has been used by the federal government to prosecute January 6 defendants.

Roberts called that law – which carries a 20-year prison sentence – ‘one of the more severe potential punishments.’

A broad interpretation of the law ‘would also criminalize a broad swath of prosaic conduct, exposing activists and lobbyists to decades in prison,’ Roberts continued.

On average, the sentence for obstruction for those rioters already found guilty was 28 months, according to a Washington Post database.

Top Democratic donors creating political fund for possible Biden replacement

Biden claims he received medical evaluation after debate, but the fine print tells the actual ...
.

A group of top Democratic donors and strategists is pooling resources into a new political action committee to help fund an alternative candidate to President Joe Biden should he withdraw from the presidential race, according to a report from the New York Times.

The fund, coined the Next Generation PAC, is aiming to raise as much as $100 million to help support a candidate who replaces Biden at the top of the ticket, according to the outlet. If Biden doesn’t drop out of the race, the money would then be used to fund down-ballot candidates.

The Next Generation PAC is being spearheaded by Mike Novogratz, a cryptocurrency investor who previously backed Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) in the Democratic primary, the outlet reported. The group has not yet filed federal paperwork, but PAC officials have reportedly told donors it hopes to raise between $50 million and $100 million.

People connected to the Biden campaign have heard of the possible stealth project and have attempted to convince those involved not to join, according to the outlet.

If the PAC manages to raise large sums, it could benefit Vice President Kamala Harris if she replaces Biden as the nominee, especially as some major donors have remained skeptical about her at the top of the ticket.

The Next Generation PAC comes as some donors begin to question Biden’s strength to campaign against former President Donald Trump let alone the ability to carry out another four years in office. Those concerns were exacerbated after last week’s debate, during which Biden had multiple verbal slip-ups and repeatedly lost his train of thought.

His performance has prompted some major donors to consider pouring their resources into down-ballot races rather than the White House, according to reports. Others have even gone so far as to threaten to withhold funds from the Democratic Party altogether unless Biden steps down.

Gideon Stein, a donor with deep connections to the Democratic Party, said his family would withhold roughly $3.5 million in planned donations to nonprofit and political organizations involved in the presidential race unless Biden withdrew, according to the New York Times. Abigail Disney, the heiress of the Disney family fortune, also said Biden’s campaign and committees supporting the president “will not receive another dime from me until they bite the bullet and replace Biden at the top of the ticket,” the outlet reported.

“Biden is a good man who has served his country well, but the stakes are far too high to allow timidity to determine our course of action,” she wrote in a statement.

However, Biden has insisted he will not be dropping out, arguing his worse-than-expected performance was due to his busy travel schedule and intense preparation for the debate. The White House has also denied reports that the president is having conversations about whether to withdraw from the race.

Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) became the first sitting House Democrat to call on Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race on Tuesday and was quickly followed by Reps. Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) and Seth Moulton (D-MA). Former Rep. Tim Ryan also came out on Tuesday to call on Harris to step up as the party’s 2024 nominee, calling Biden’s debate performance “deeply troubling” and evidence that the party must move forward.

Unpacking the Deep State

Dmitry Orlov

It cannot be called “deep” once everyone knows that it exists; and the fact that it exists is obvious from the fact that Joe Biden couldn’t possibly have been in charge of much of anything, least of all his own brain, ever since being sort-of elected president. Just yesterday we found out that he thinks that he is a black woman and, as such, is proud to have served under a black president. Clearly, someone else is in charge, and this fact is floating right there on the surface, not someplace deep.

It’s not a state because states are run by public persons who are sometimes even chosen in a national election. That’s not the case in the US, where the decision is made by a tiny contingent within some “swing state” (but really by political machinations that happen behind the scenes). Nor is this the case in most of the EU, where leaders are chosen as a result of similarly opaque parliamentary machinations. But however these public officials are chosen (by the Deep State, no doubt!) they are public and their positions are official, and that is what makes a state a state and not some sort of shady mafia organization. “Take me to your leader!” arriving space aliens typically demand, and if the answer is, “Well, we could take you to Joe Biden, but his brain is on the blink, causing him to think that he is a black woman, and beyond that we really don’t know who our leader or leaders are” then the aliens would surely be miffed. As we should be.

Some people declare that they know exactly who comprises the Deep State: it is the CIA and the FBI, plus lots of other Washingtonian alphabet soup, or it is the Bilderberg Club, or the Elders of Zion, or Reptiloids from planet Nibiru. That sort of nonsense always draws an audience or idle gawkers. But it is an essential element of their genre that the people who secretly run the US, the EU and a longish list of other puppet states keep their identities secret. How would they be supposed to secretly run things if everyone knows who they are? Ergo, secret rulers are secret. I hope that this isn’t too huge a leap of logic for my readers to make.

There are, however, some facts we can deduce about the Unknown Grandfathers (let’s start calling them that, since, as we have already established, they are neither deep nor a state). And the most important of these facts is that they are old. That is why they cling onto similarly young and agile characters, such as Joe Biden (81), Mitch McConnell (also 81 and also suffering from brain crashes), Nancy Pelosi (83 and no longer in control of her false teeth), Dianne Feinstein (was 90 and, thank God, finally gone). There is an entire list of them, care of the NYT. It reads like a tale from the crypt.

Why do the Unknown Grandfathers cling to these obsolete characters whose last original thought occurred a couple of decades ago at least, if they ever had one? Because caution, laced with paranoia, is typical of old people. They simply can’t trust anyone much younger than they are. And so they continue to propel into office those whose minds are sufficiently ossified to be physically unable to produce any big surprises as far as great new ideas or sudden policy changes. They are threatened by the young and the intelligent and are comforted by those who are old and borderline senile — just like they are! It makes them tired and confused to listen to young, energetic, fast-talking characters such as Tulsi Gabbard or Vivek Ramaswamy. They prefer someone from their own cohort or perhaps just a bit younger to pretend to make policy decisions — someone who reads haltingly from a piece of paper or recites same old lines they memorized a long time ago.

This does not apply to those who have no authority whatsoever to make policy decisions — the various political stooges in the European Union, South Korea, Japan and a couple of remnants of the former British Empire. These stooges can be quite a bit younger; just look at Kaya Callous, the fresh new face of EU diplomacy now that Jopez Bordello is being put out to pasture.

The Euro-stooges have no choice but to repeat the same old anti-Russia, pro-war, pro-Israel, anti-China tropes. Those who get into office by some semblance of a democratic process, such as Giorgia Meloni of Italy, are quickly threatened into towing the party line — sending weapons to the Ukraine. Viktor Orbán is currently testing the limits of what is allowed by flying to Moscow, meeting with Putin and repeatedly using that streng verboten word — peace! As a final insult, they all have to speak English because the Unknown Grandfathers are all Anglos and they don’t do foreign languages. And so, in spite of the fact that the UK is no longer in the EU, just to soothe the spirits of the Unknown Grandfathers, most of the insipid blather coming out of Brussels happens to be in English.

Being old and senile, the Unknown Grandfathers are unable to accept certain facts: that the military means of maintaining dollar hegemony and robbing the rest of the world no longer work; that Russia, as a nuclear-armed superpower, cannot be defeated; that China, being the world’s most powerful economy, cannot be defeated either, and that the majority of the world has worked out ways to circumvent the authority of the Unknown Grandfathers, avoid their toxic currencies and to generally ignore them. Furthermore, the majority of the world knows that they are old and senile, that their power is inexorably slipping away and that the intelligent thing for everyone to do about them is to simply wait until most of them die.

Which they will. They may extend their lives in various expensive ways, be they regular transfusions with the blood of children or expensive, experimental animatronics, but they are mortal just like everyone else, while their Unknown Heirs are either too stupid and degenerate to take over the operation or smart enough (and degenerate) to jump clear of it ahead of time.

Four More States Sue Pfizer Over Fraudulent Vaccination Cliams

Editorial Cartoon U.S. Christmas Pfizer COVID vaccine | The Week

Hellbound and Down

Four additional states will follow Kansas’s lead by filing large-scale lawsuits against pharmaceutical giant Pfizer. These states allege that the company misled the public regarding the safety and efficacy of its COVID-19 vaccine.

Last week, Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach announced that he is suing pharmaceutical giant Pfizer for misleading Kansas residents about the safety and efficacy of its COVID-19 vaccine.

During a press conference in Topeka, alongside Deputy Attorney General Fran Oleen and Assistant Attorneys General Kaley Schrader and Melanie Jack, Kobach detailed the allegations lodged against Pfizer.

“Kansas is filing a civil suit against the Pfizer Corporation under the Kansas Consumer Protection Act, seeking enhanced civil monetary penalties, damages, and injunctive relief for misleading and deceptive statements made in marketing its COVID-19 vaccine. Pfizer also violated previous consent judgments with the state of Kansas, in which Pfizer promised never to use deceptive information to market their products,” said Kobach.

The complaint, lodged today in Thomas County District Court, accuses Pfizer of misleading Kansans about the vaccines’ risks, including potential harm to pregnant women and the risk of myocarditis. The suit further alleges that Pfizer falsely claimed its vaccine was effective against COVID variants, despite evidence to the contrary.

4 More U.S. States Sue Pfizer Over False COVID Vaccine Claims

“Climate Change” $100 Trillion Wealth Transfer from Poor to Rich

Elizabeth Nickson

This is the last in a series explaining our current unstable financial environment. Our economies have turned to conservation and de-development, which has been unrealistically financialized. The fix is easy. Walk this back. Because the moral stink will follow us for 100 years.

Ever asked yourself why 20 million have poured through the Southern border in the last three and a half years? Oh, I know, in search of economic freedom, oppression by their home governments, or oligarchs, drugs, death squads, crime etc. Same with Africa. But again, why do they risk so much to leave homelands that almost certainly, most of them love. The idea of ‘place’ is not an idea, it is a deep attachment, physical, emotional and sensate that trumps reason. You have to kill a lot of your natural self to leave, to risk your life and that of your children to escape to the cold grey north and never return. The fear alone would overwhelm all but the strongest.

They are leaving because they must.

But why now? It’s been bad forever. In South and Central America, between the descendants of the Conquistadors and the Commies, everyone has been ground beneath the heel of the oppressor for 20 generations. Because activist charities pay for these long trains of migrants? Because the left in Europe and Democrats have declared the border open?

No. Well yes, and no, those latter are just the mechanisms. And they have been deliberately constructed.

Mostly they are coming because Black Rock, the UN, the WEF are grabbing their lands, the more fertile the better, driving them from those lands and sticking them into tenement cities where they have to scratch like chickens for a living.  Agenda 2030 is ravening under the radar in the US and Canada, where “civil society” in the pay of the government and environmental NGOs funded by oligarchs, is taking as much land and as many resources as possible out of the productive economy and shoving it into the land banks of BlackRock.

In the south, it’s not surreptitious. It is state policy to destroy their lives, to take their ancestral lands, whether it’s 40 acres or a half acre and leave them begging by the side of the road.

This piece was removed from the UN website within a day

Climate Change is a complex financial mechanism which under the guise of “saving the planet”, is meant to save the predator class.

Which is not only morally bankrupt, but is dealing with a level of government and corporate debt that they know they cannot sustain. In the healthiest economy in the world, the US, all profits now are coming from either some mechanism of government subsidy – the $6 Trillion of the Covid catastrophe – or Collateralized Default Obligations. For instance right now Penguin is in court attempting to buy Random House. Why? Because they can borrow money to do that, buy back some of their stock and pay their shareholders. It will mean middle managers will lose their jobs, and marginal books will not be published, but the ravening maw of Jamie Diamond and Larry Fink will be satiated. For the moment. There is no other reason. Growth, real growth has stalled in every single enterprise.

This is how it works at the top of the class pyramid:

Last week on my island we were treated to the spectacle of well-heeled, highly educated, well-spoken older men and women arguing that the impoverished elderly, the young, and families starting out should not have housing because of climate change. Our island is 74 square miles with 10,000 residents. That means we have one resident per five acres.

Our government, the trust, had proposed the use of accessory buildings, brought up to code, for long-term rentals.

The extreme form of land conservation we practice has meant that housing prices have skyrocketed, so only the rich and the well-pensioned can afford to live here. A thousand or so working age people manage to make a living, generally via remote work. We have no staff for the schools, hospitals, businesses, restaurants. They cannot afford to live here.

About 200 people on our islands, mostly in their 70s and 80s, tightly aligned with the hysterical wing of the environmental movement work the process to stop any growth. Every new resident who pulls a permit is visited and threatened by a by-law officer. The woman who instigated this specific weapon, a former enviro bureaucrat from LA, demanded full time by-law officers for years until she won, after which she fought for aggressive enforcement.

With this one act, she set islanders against each other, creating conflict where there was none. This too is deliberate. A community divided is easily controlled.

Ring any bells?

At the same time, in our vast swaths of upland forests, the UN organization Transitions is slowly accreting that land. For who? We don’t really know. Transitions is everywhere, in the US, in Canada, in every country in Europe.  It is where you live. It is one of the many prongs of Agenda 2030. Everywhere, it invades local governments and acts to suppress economic activity.

Transitions also trades carbon credits. For who? Who do you think?

Therefore Transitions, which has a rainbow-colored smiley PR face, is in that business. Buying land to transfer it to international organizations and mega-rich families so they can make money on our forests. But not us. We can’t.  We can’t even thin them to prevent catastrophic forest fire.

Those contracts must be interesting, not that anyone can see them. The first thing they do is act as whacking big first-time tax deductions. The second thing they do is act as an annual tax deduction because those trees are eating CO2. Very clever. International interests buy our land (and yours) and use it to not pay taxes. While banking some of the most valuable assets on the planet.

Multiply this 100,000 times, and you will see just a very tiny piece of the vast tapestry, the puzzle, of the Climate Change/Agenda 2030 plan that will shut down economic activity everywhere.

imagine these people embedded in every single industry. Because they are. Canada has enough oil and gas to supply the world for the next five hundred years. We have all the rare earth minerals required by electric cars and every green invention. We, the most highly educated work-force in the world, have developed hundreds of mitigations that prevent knock-on effects for the mining we do.  Mining is the most productive engine of the economy. Its job multiplier is 7, and all seven jobs are high-paying jobs. Mining means rural counties and townships can thrive, pay for their schools, their healthcare.

Every farm, every ranch, every rural business, every logging operation, every developer, every contractor and builder, every grocery chain, every surprisingly successful business has an activist cadre assigned to it. All that activist does is strategize on how to destroy that business. And they are paid, through environmental organizations funded by BlackRock.
